Spirit explains I Ching Hexagram 4 – Immaturity.

The journey of our life begins with creation;
individual and collective.

Creativity (hexagram 1) is an essential attribute
of our unique essence.

Receptivity (hexagram 2) to inspiration, both from
without and within, provides us with opportunities
to express our individual uniqueness.

Difficulty (hexagram 3) in the early stages of
our development is to be expected.

Immaturity (hexagram 4) never lasts forever.
Sooner or later we each progress in our
chosen direction.

Who chooses our direction, and to where?

Our chosen direction chooses itself.

How is that possible?

It is the only way possible.

Please explain.

Why did you not ask about the role of
so-called free will?

I have learned enough from you to accept
that free will is limited to available
options and that even then we my not be
aware of future choices each option
may require of us.

Yes.

Our simple seeker was meditating on existentialism.

That is not the usual focus of spiritual meditation.

So what?

As in, who cares?

Yes.

Also, Did you know that your heroes of existentialist
philosophy were French revolutionaries?

Because they were with the underground resistance?

They were more than resisting.

Yes, but in the process of resisting oppression
they were also developing a revolutionary
philosophy of life.

Which came first?

The chicken or the egg?

Yes.

Perhaps they were never separate.

Exactly.

What does that mean?

We hone our skills and our thought and
emotional development, not to mention
spiritual development, in experience.

Then, why were Sartre and Camus
not called experientialists?

Experience is never enough. They
and every deep thinker first must
exist in order to experience
anything.

Were they aware of that?

Of what?

Of the need to exist before …

The name of the school of philosophy
they belonged…

 The Secret Fire is a term used by alchemists. It is a term that has a debatable definition. I assume each alchemist has his own definition. I’ve been lead to realize that the Secret Fire is the combination of energies, under the direction of will, to cause an effect. The Secret Fire is the primal cause, the only cause, and every cause. It is that which Creates. It is not the Creator, but it is his tool, like the Word in Genesis.

Since objective reality is the ultimate arbiter of truth, and since the Secret Fire seeks to combine several subjective experiences into reality, the control of it is the ultimate aim of every Alchemist, and also the ultimate aim of every occultist, whether they think so or not. Any occultist working towards a higher understanding of the universe is seeking to understand and manipulate the Secret Fire. The…

Spirit tells me that He and I are, or represent,

Two dimensions of one mind that is itself just

One of many dimensions of a more expanded

Expression of an ever more expanded

Consciousness that continuously and

Unendingly expands, or, as some say,

Evolves.

Spirit tells me that a new story must be told about our inner reality, an inner world of Spirit wherein all Life is eager to assist and share in the creation of our future, and to teach us how to care for each other, everyone, and everything we care for.

We are each citizens of this world, He tells me. We each blend our unique energies together into one. We are serving each other, in one way or another

Oneness is a core principle of Life.

Georgia was accepting the reality of being something akin to being possessed, even though the very thought of that possibility sent shivers of fear through her. It brought memories of stories, or were they lived experiences of an earlier lifetime, of the tortures inflicted upon helpless individuals who were accused by self-proclaimed, but generally accepted representatives of God.

Of course, Spirit may not be a spirit at all but a materialized adept controlling her, or attempting to, from some isolated palace, or cave, in northern India, or, perhaps, much closer to home.

What is a materialized adept?

A highly evolved spirit who has chosen a human disguise in order to develop enlightenment among ordinary humans.

So, a spirit in disguise as a human?

Yes.

Aren’t we all playing that game?
