Blog 90: Notes on Ch 7 THE UNIVERSAL FRAMEWORK OF LIFE (From the TEMPLE WITHIN: The 4th Book of Light by Evan T. Pritchard)

 My Notes on
From the TEMPLE WITHIN: The 4th Book of Light
Chapter 7: The Universal Framework of Life

• Events are precious links in a chain of destiny that span from one end of the universe to the other.  Nothing does, but God IS & expresses Itself through the passage of time in the form of events.
• The structure of life is complex but its mastery is simple.
• The forms of this life are drawn out of the formless by necessity, and these necessities arise from the prime necessities of time, space & causation.  Which arise originally from the necessities of expression within the heart of the Supreme Being.
• When 2 opposites combine, they cancel each other out, which is not truly nothing, but is merely the resolution of the original necessity of God to express Itself in that way.
• All events were contained in the 1st event, which was the cry of a newborn world.  This cry was the sound of sounds  ... which set off all things to vibrate with life.
• All have their source, their oscillator, in the heart of the Supreme Being.
• Within the acorn is the necessity of the oak, and the acorns which it will some day bear, each containing the imprint of the necessary future.
• It is not necessary for the order of events to be predetermined, but only that each event conform to certain divine specifications, and in the larger picture, that each variation take place at least once, for the sake of God's fulfillment.
• Another way of describing this is by parameters.
• Man's heart is troubled by its own rebellion.  It rages against predetermination, it aches for total freedom, and hopes for peace, yet this rebelliousness is only like the will of the rock to retain its shape & character.
• Fill yourself with the love of the Infinite, and the passage of time collapses into the integrity of the living moment.
• To love is to dwell in pure beingness.
• To exist is to merely use & replace units of cosmic energy ... but to be is to create the entire universe, each moment in breathtaking harmony with God.
• When you come to just be,  you are glimpsing the completion of the cycle.
• Man tries to plant the stamp of inanimate objects upon himself & brings himself only hardship, and qualities of non-being.  Man is a living thing whose body is alive with the presence of Soul, and is not entirely subject to the chemical laws of the physical universe as long as Soul is present.
• The master knows with certainty only those things which are written in the hearts of men, and the events which those inscriptions will some day necessitate.
• Karma is the play of necessity on certain planes in the cosmology of the body of life ... but when Soul takes to its true home on the pure spiritual planes of reality, it no longer believes in the permanence of those worlds, and those laws are only as permanent as the medium they act within.
• The world we experience is a shadowy image projected onto a screen of passing light particles, which is the backdrop for all existence.  It is an illusion, but only a delusion if we misinterpret it.
• In reality, if Soul wants to be free of the laws of this world, It need only retreat to its position in the pure heavenly worlds, where love is law, the love which is pure beingness, the LAW OF LIFE.
• The GOLDEN HEART is filled with the love for all of life.
• Love is what separates the saint from the spiritually bankrupt.
• True spiritual beings cannot stand back & separate themselves from the Supreme One, nor can they as incarnate entities disengage from the dynamic forces with which they interact in this world.
• It is by the will of the Supreme Self, and by necessity that man came to exist in the forms man has taken, and therefore it is imperative that he study & understand the nature of Its divine will if he is to understand himself & grasp the implications of his being here.
• Although man as a group survives through the preservation of his customs, each man survives through the inner freedom which is his birthright.
• The most decisive action a Soul can ever make is the decision as to whether to establish Itself permanently on the Soul plane, never to look back for fear of losing something It has found on Its journey thus far.
• Know then that you too can have the astounding experience of God Realization in this lifetime, which is the hallmark of this temple of wisdom & its specific line of teaching.
