Living Metaphysics

Welcome to an exploration of using metaphysics in everyday life.  In the pod, we explore how we each can take personal responsibility in the shaping of our own lives and in doing so, become the flowering of an expanded consciousness here on Earth.

New Knowledge

Zakariyya said Nov 15, 2008, 5:22 AM:

 

 

New knowledge, if it is legitimate, has to have a connection to the old, but has to offer new interpretations of the old [the misunderstood, and that which is in error], and also offer things that the old have not revealed. 


In my book [The Ellipse, the Fall and Rise of the Human Soul, Secrets of the Cosmos] all of these criteria are met in spades



When we think about the old, known, and traditional knowledges we have to realize, that while it is valuable potentially to all, it has not remotely caused the total freedom of all sentient beings at this point, within the macrocosm, or microcosm. Indeed, it has not even offered a criteria of theoretical criteria of this!



Although the old wisdoms, when they were revealed, never said they offered complete freedom to all, nevertheless they did, all of them, mention that with new knowledge and understanding in the future, this would be opened to all, by the reality of light.


Light, upon light!



I put my “new knowledge” in my book up against ALL OF THESE OLD cosmologies, and in the book are not only explanations of the new, but corrections of these old cosmologies, where they have gone off in error. As well, not even remotely informed us of what IN THE WORLD IS AT THE ROOT OF OUR PROBELM!




With all due respect to  the new age mystics, what new knowledge do they really offer?


I venture to say, NONE!



Only a different perspective of the OLD is what they offer, without an iota of anything novel, or originally dynamic.


The new mystics who “merge science with metaphysics” offer hope in the potential discoveries of science that will increase mystical awareness, in the future, though they don't really have any clue when this will happen, only the hope and certainty that “science” will proceed to this epiphany.


Believe me, there is only one document around today, were objective new knowledge exists, and that is in my book:


The Ellipse, the Fall and Rise of the Human Soul

Secrets of the Cosmos

Zakariyya,

First: I believe Truth is Always Present Here and Now as the living Spirit of All things, it has always been and always will be.  Scriptures old or new are never Truth, they are merely vessels, pointers, through which Spirit tries to tell us something.

Now while it may be true that some of this vessels have become dogmatic as well as its symbols might not quite conform anymore to todays understanding I still believe that those who have ears will hear and those who have eyes will see.

I have enough trust in the Almighty Living Spirit to know that it will reveil to me all that I am ready to receive. I also know that it's about all knowing, all loving Presence in which we are all One.
The rest I believe is all concepts anyway, great to use in our world to serve us but never to become our masters.

The new platitude today is people saying: “I don't believe in concepts”


I wonder do they know what a concept really is, or are just saying something they heard one of the top Gurus of today say out loud.


To not believe in something is belief in a concept!


My post was a direct challenge to the old, and supposed new, that the knowledge in the Ellipse is objective new knowledge, not a concept. Therefore is distinguished from those.


It is not a concept when one learns that an aspect of their inner soul has been corrupted temporarily, as it is not a concept in telling an aids patient about the etiology of their disease.

.All these ancient wisdoms, and the new ones studied here. I venture offer nothing new, or are in fact only conceptual, whereas my treatise offers the new, and improvement of the old cosmologies, simply because I explain precisely, what they don't know, or refuse to tell.


I think people unfortunately may be afraid of that.

I suppose I would be too.

That's great that you have a book. <<<<<applauding

But please don't knock other beliefs and tell them that they're wrong because they have nothing new and you are right because you have something new.

Back up your claims please. Oh wait, we have to read the book, right?

Gregg Bradon has brought out many claims that support 'the old' along with many new scientific discoveries. That is discussed here in this POD.


Personally, with how you brought about  your post-infomercial, it leaves a bad taste in my mouth and I would choose to not even read your book. I chose to ignore this post until now.

Think about what kind of reader you want to draw to read your book. Coming and slamming a POD who's focus is on Metaphysical Studies is not a very smart way to market your book.

Also we do not believe there is any ONE answer which you claim you have THE answer in YOUR book.

Good luck in your endeavors.  May the Universe bless you with many blessings. Oh wait, that's old. What would be new……oh! The Jon Bonjovi song……..Have a nice day…..

Zakariyya,

I believe I remember you posting something similar here in the past.  There is nothing that can be known that has not been known before at the level of Source.  The Tao, as ancient as it is, is so full of such clarity, that it remains relevant today, thousands of years later.  It is easily re-interpreted based upon modern circumstances but is never “new” per se.  The same can be said for the work of Ernest Holmes.  He was a voracious reader and then synthesized his understandings of the common threads in what he read, which was often old in origin, into the “modern” language of his day.  There is nothing that has not already been revealed to some human at some time in history, only, awareness of such is lacking.


Spiritual understanding at its core essence is so simple that it is often overlooked as having value and is then complicated by those who would seek to set themselves up as experts or teachers or messiahs of others.  The most enlightened knows they need nothing more than access to the knower inside their own self and all they could ever want to know, will be revealed to them directly, in “language” that is easy for them to comprehend.  Such appears to be what happened for and to you.


It is interesting to contemplate the teachings of a variety of teachers and traditions for by doing so it is easier to triangulate the knowing within oneself as language through which the Source of their higher self may speak to them personally by resonance, experience and clear knowing.


The total freedom of the soul embodied in flesh comes from realizing what I have here stated.  It appears to me that humanity does evolve to greater understanding, more personal freedom, greater expression of abundance and that all will get there eventually, whether in this particular lifetime or no.


I am happy that you have experienced for yourself a revelation that does inspire and excite you and cause you to want to share the same with others.  Those who resonate with your words will follow to find access to your thoughts.  Yet, this does not diminish the free will of each individuated speck of the Divine to determine their own path and what knowledge is worthwhile of their attention for this lifetime.


So, I venture to say that there is NO new knowledge that you could possibly have to offer.  There is only the personal experience of reality, for each to have, which is hinted at in the name of this pod - Living Metaphysics.  This is not new age, this is not ancient wisdom, this is the distillation within the unfolding of each individual life, of that which they came here to experience.


Now, science is something a bit new in the western world but a different kind of science in the ancient world of China arrived at many proofs and understandings without our modern methods.  Still, back to the concept of triangulating knowledge, science can be a methodology, as can dance, music, dreams, building structures or tending nature, to reach the common threads of pure knowing that each soul craves.


Again, it is clear that your are excited by your knowledge and wish to share that with others in book form.  It is simply one out of many ways to contemplate the realities of life and the possibilities of spirit.


I wish your life continued unfolding, ever expanding understanding of the nature of reality and mature wisdom arrived at from such experience, just as I wish for all sentient beings on earth at this time-

Deb
