Taking risks happens at many levels. It means going outside of what is safe and exposing ourselves to something strange and unfamiliar. Most of the time we don’t do this of our own free will. Life has a way of forcing us into new and difficult situations. Once we are in those situations we try to find our center and stabilize so we are not in crisis.

When we first tap into the creative power and spiritual energy it does the best it can but is not able to alter physical events. This first contact with the master within involves abstract spiritual energy and in times of peace and relaxation offers us a feeling of peace and love. It also comforts us in our time of need.

This is where we find calmness and center ourselves. In times of crisis such as physical abuse, rape, robbery, or accident this same contact takes our mind and awareness away from our physical body as an act of mercy and it seems that what is happening to our physical body is happening to someone else, to a stranger and not to us.

Our awareness retreats far back into a safe place provided by the master within. We are physically passive and defenseless; we are a victim and can only watch helplessly at things we can do nothing about. Later as we tap into concrete spiritual energy and experience intuitive illuminations and hunches we can gain insights on the best way to tackle problems or situations. This is a type of intuitive knowing that comes later.

Our culture has chosen to give importance to the illumination aspect and minimize or ignore the victim aspect of these first contacts with the inner creative power. The important point is we all start with a zero balance of this creative power and as we reach in and tap our own source we accumulate a reserve. We accumulate more of this creative power by successfully confronting obstacles and by spiritual disciplines such as meditation. Spiritual energy is that level of awareness where everything works and the world is all right. It is where we feel in control of our lives at the highest level. The Rosicrucians called this awareness the master within.

The master within speaks to us through the still small voice of our conscience if we will listen to it and trust it. The more we listen to it, the more it will speak. The more we trust it, the more it can be trusted.

When we refuse to listen to the voice of our conscience it will quit trying to contact us.

Humanity only advances one step at a time. It is limited by how far the lower masses can rise. We are becoming more free all the time and life today has much more to offer the common person then life 200 years ago. Even though it sometimes doesn’t seem that way. Wise and true thoughts can move the lower masses to action. We need to help each other advance because we all belong to the same human race. We may be individuals, but individuals help other individuals! We need to be tolerant of other faiths and nationalities as well as gender, sexual orientation and physical characteristics. We are each unique and that’s a good thing! Win-win situations are possible!

Public opinion is an immense force that can be used for us or against us. In today’s society public opinion is used against the individual and against spirituality. Public opinion is used against the voice of conscience and the Christ spirit that dwells within each human heart. It doesn’t need to be that way! Religion and philosophy are simply disputes over the exact meanings of words and the limitations of language. The heart speaks a common tongue that all people understand. Everyone has the ability to understand the voice of conscience and the Christ Spirit within the human heart. Social injustice will eventually cause everyone to suffer.

We need to take a hard look at the dysfunctional and harmful things modern society supports and enables! Idealistic social theories do not dramatically improve individual lives. Social theories are mental constructs and mental projections. Physical life is organic with nothing mental about it at all! Let’s deal with physical realities, not theoretical ones!

Organic Gnosticism teaches that there is a deep wisdom in nature. One of these things is a sense of timing. There is a right time for things and a wrong time. It is important to celebrate the solar year and the cycles of nature when they are properly understood. This can work to our advantage. The wisdom hidden within nature represents the evolution of life over millennia. The wisdom hidden within our DNA is an untapped potential that will change our entire world! In nature all things are connected and there is a circle of life that must be respected. We need to learn respect for that circle of life! We need to understand how all things are connected!
