The Eye of God: Seeing Beyond
the Mask of Spiritual Corruption and Falsehood
The wise among us turn away from false prophets and turn our
attention toward the heavens.
Working with the Sun is a beautiful spiritual practice whose
simplicity makes it both magical and powerful. It is a Kabbalistic
practice that links us to the divine heart and consciousness. It
helps us to understand God’s truth and align ourselves with our
own knowing. It allows us to align our heart and will with Gods’
will so that we may resonate with God. In so doing, we enter into
a state of harmonious evolution and flow, and come to realize that
we are the magic of the universe. Indeed, when we open ourselves
to the healing, and spiritual power of the Sun, its wisdom passes
through us and allows us to stand in our own power with the
knowledge that our wisdom is good and true. By aligning ourselves
with the truth of the Sun’s wisdom, we find the key that unlocks
many doors. In essence, meditating on the Sun is the purest form
of Divine attunement, that allows you to reach up towards the
heavens and touch the hand of God. Model yourself after the Sun.
Allow yourself to become a conduit of its light so that you are
able to shine brightly, and plant the seeds of love, peace and
light wherever you go.
Do
not bow to any other human being. Keep in mind that every saint
has a past, every sinner a future. With Divine Spiritual Wisdom,
anyone can achieve spiritual awakening. This is why Universal
Kabbalah and Naam Yoga call on you to bow ONLY to the God in your
own heart. In your heart, you will find the reflection of the Sun
in you. Working with the Sun allows us to understand our existence
in relation to the universe, so that we may understand the truth.
As we come to understand the truth, the world becomes a more
beautiful place because we become who we already are and
experience infinity. Humans are naturally drawn to the Sun because
it is the driving force of our universe, it is the center that
keeps everything together. The moment you understand that you are
a ray of the sun, your radiance projects in the universal radiance
and everything becomes creative around you. This confirmed
relationship of responsiveness in consciousness between the inner
Sun and the outer Sun is the gift of Divine Spiritual Wisdom. Now
is the time for the sons and daughters of light to open themselves
up to the empowerment that comes with meditating on the Sun. Rise
into the Sun with your spirit, so that its healing and limitless
love may surround you, and its light may infinitely bless and
guide you always. Meditate on the rising Sun so that you can rise
from the slumber of a dark night of mind into a glorious new day
of wisdom, joy and truth. The Sun is the eye of God, and the
greatest spiritual teacher you will ever find.
Every day that the Sun rises to bring light to the world, tell
yourself that the teacher has arrived, and take your learning
material, and go meet the teacher so that you may receive Wisdom.
The sun will give you light. Spiritual work requires the presence
of Light. The Sun is the Father of Light; Light is the most
significant treasure on earth. Attach more importance to it than
any other. Light comes from wisdom. The Sun is the living symbol
of Love, Wisdom and Truth. The mantra, Lumen de Lumine embodies
the Light of the Sun. This is one of the reasons why we work with
this powerful and beautiful combination and permutation of the
words it is made of, and why it is the most effective means of
causing the Sun to rise in our heart. Kabbalah is the only vehicle
that allows us to create the Vessel to receive the light of the
Creator. And, Lumen de Lumine is a simple, yet powerful
Kabbalistic tool that allows you to receive that light so that you
may share it with the world. It is Kabbalah in action, and a
glorious, potent way to work with the light. Lumen de Lumine
provides our best connection with light. It is the dazzling
brilliance in which angels and archangels vibrate as one infinite
ocean where all forms blend into the true image of God. By
bringing the Sun in your mind, while mentally vibrating Lumen de
Lumine, you light your internal flame so that you are able to walk
your path with clarity; feeling refreshed and cleansed. Focus on
Lumen de Lumine, and you will begin to sense it as a heart opening
energy of peace, happiness and joy. You will experience the power
it has to pacify and heal. For example, if you want to help those
who are going through challenges, vibrate Lumen de Lumine, and see
them being penetrated through and through by the healing light of
the Sun. Working with this mantra is the art of seeking and
concentrating on light; of absorbing it in a pure and powerful
form. When you focus your mind on the Sun, you are choosing to
focus on the source of all blessings. Working with the Light of
the Sun is the beginning of true spiritual work, for it is the
only practice that banishes dark entities and evil spirits.
No human being, whether saint or guru, can be as consistent as the
Sun. Again, all other sources are fickle. The Sun, however, is
almighty and never-changing. It is the spirit, the essence, and
the basis of your life. As the visible representation of God in
action, the Sun is more permanent than you will ever be. Long
after we have all left the earth, the Sun will remain. The
blazing, eternal Sun is the link between man and God. When your
mind focuses on the Sun, the light of God is with you and all can
be attained. Seek help from the One source that is always helpful.
Work with the Sun so that you may be blessed with miracles. Work
with the Sun so that the Grace of God can envelop you. Great and
limitless is the Love of God contained in the Sun. By meditating
on the Sun, you create the proper conditions for the descent of
the Spirit of God within you. This is due to the fact that
meditating on the Sun opens the heart to Divine warmth, thereby
initiating joy and healing. It opens the mind to Divine Light,
thereby allowing you to think right. And, it opens your soul to
Divine Power so that you have the strength to overcome any
challenge. All that God requires is that your heart be a clean and
pure tablet upon which Divinity can write His Law. You will read
in the scriptures "Except a man be born again, he cannot see the
Kingdom of God." By activating the inner Sun in your heart, you
are born again from the Spirit. Working with the Sun is the only
method of achieving this rebirth. Again, we can look to the
scriptures for evidence of this truth. They read, “No man knows
the Father, except the Son, and the one to whom the Son reveals
Him. That Son is the Light of God, which exists forever.” The Sun
is the light of God. The Christic Force represents the Sun. And
the scriptures continue, "The Light of the body is the eye: If
thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of Light." The
Sun represents the single eye of God. In order for our two eyes to
become single, we must activate the inner Sun in our heart, which
is nothing else but a reflection of the outer Sun, or single eye
of God.
The highest goal in spirituality is to know God. This is achieved
through the activation of the spiritual Sun, located in our heart
as a reflection of the visible Sun. Meditating on the Sun daily
allows us to rise above ourselves and make our hearts pure.
“Blessed are the pure of heart, for they shall see God.” The Sun
will give you the Bread and Water of Life, and help you to be
reborn by opening your Inner Eye to the Light of God and your
Inner Ear to the Voice of God. It is essential to create the
purity in your life caused by meditating on the Sun, for we are
all born of the corruptible seed. In order to be born into the
Beyond, we need the incorruptible seed. The only way to be born
from the Sun is to meditate daily upon it, and work on cleaning
yourself of the body of pain, which is made up of your karmic
burden. The Sun energy is extremely uplifting and rejuvenating.
Those who meditate on the Sun are called the real theurgists, and
they are connected to the invisible Community of Light. By
vibrating Lumen de Lumine and meditating on the Sun, you adopt
those attributes in your own life, then you will be loved by the
Christ Force, and by God Himself. As Christ said, "Those who love
me, will be loved by my Father, and whom my Father loves, I
manifest myself to him".
The
Sun is the Christic Light. And the Christic Light is the Word made
flesh; the Word made flesh and dwelt among us. “I am the Light of
the world; whosoever shall come to my feet shall never walk in
darkness.” The Sun is the light of the world, and Lumen de Lumine
is a Christic mantra. Both embody the essence of this truth. Those
who meditate on the Sun and work with Lumen de Lumine shall never
walk in darkness. They walk in light. God is light. The Christic
Force, or Sun, is also light, because it is an expression of the
Power of God. As it rises and sets, the Christ Sun has been giving
its light to the world and God has been working through it. Every
man and woman is a ray of the light of the Sun. We are hue(light)
man(mental) beings(forever). Therefore, meditate on the Sun, and
open your heart and soul so that the Kindness of God can pass
through you to others. Work with the Sun so that you become a
servant of the universe and a bridge upon which the angels may
tread. Know that every angel who passes on your back will leave
you a blessing. Meditate on the Sun so that this state of
cleanliness and the essence of purity can be yours. When you have
experienced the self-healing that comes with opening your heart
with the Divine Energy of the Sun, you are able to help others
open their hearts as well.
Do not attach yourself to the earth, and con men who masquerade as
holy men. Such men claim to have the answer when, in reality, they
only seek to control while acquiring disciples and fame. They will
wreak havoc in your life and you will end up miserable.
Unfortunately, most forms of spirituality available today provide
man with illusion and deception of an untrue reality. They twist
the perception of those who are vulnerable and mentally weak, and
create the necessary illusions that will support their unhealthy
illusionary wish that creates comfort within their hearts and
minds. The wise among us turn away from false prophets and
practices, and turn our attention and intuition toward the
heavens. The Sun is the safest method for healing you can find.
Therefore, attach yourself to it. Men are merely small gods with
small jurisdictions. They are poor sources of wisdom compared with
the Sun. Most people are far from perfect. When you concentrate on
a spiritual person, you emulate their strengths and their
weaknesses. In other words, you take both the good and the bad;
the virtue and the vice. Moreover, you may also begin to lose your
own vitality, because it is now nurturing the image with which you
are working. The Sun, however, is the most perfect of all visible
symbols in life. By focusing on the Sun, you are giving energy to
the self; any energy you give to the Sun, you get back. Indeed,
whosoever treads on the Path of the Masters, which is the Divine
Spiritual Wisdom, with consistency, single-minded devotion and
patience, and proper meditation upon the Sun, initiates the inner
unfolding. This is the art of moving from animal-man to man of
light.
It is important to note here that, animal man, who has always put
his trust in the substance of inferior, material things, can be
traced back to Ancient Egypt. Mixing the sacred with the profane,
animal man originated the practice of idol worship still common in
both the East and the West. These are the practices of the men of
darkness who have been corrupted. Some even believe that the power
of nature is equal to that of the Divine. The Divine Spiritual
Wisdom is a refuge of Love, Wisdom and Truth, that teaches the
laws governing all things divine, spiritual and temporal. It is
the only spiritual practice that preserves the immortality of the
soul and the existence of the universal principle that pervades
all. Indeed, one of the main aims of the Divine Spiritual Wisdom
has always been to instruct men in the mysteries of the original
religion so that they do not forsake their spiritual faculties in
favor of lesser knowledge and power. The Ancient Egyptians were
acquainted with the Divine Spiritual Wisdom in its original
purity; the form that instructs initiates in the means of
participating with the powers responsible for sustaining the
universe so that they are supported and protected. Unfortunately,
some sages of Ancient Egypt turned their attention to the aspects
of the powers that flattered man’s natural leanings toward the
sensual and material. They made great progress on this path, but
forsook the higher aspects of the teachings. Their hieroglyphics
and allegories ceased to incorporate the universal spiritual
activity manifest in the universe by the Creator. In other words,
their mysteries now expressed the worship of the active powers of
temporal nature, rather than the reverence for the principle at
the root of all general and particular powers. Egyptians began to
worship the signs and symbols of power, rather than the Divine
source. The practice of material idolatry was born among common
people. The priests who had confused the power of nature with the
source of all power were blinded, and began constructing temples
and altars to evil and corrupt gods as well as benevolent things.
Through sacrilegious ceremonies, these priests invoked the powers
represented by the hieroglyphs, and the profane people took the
practice at face value, without examining beyond the outer
appearance of things. As impious idol worship spread across the
globe, nations were exposed to terrible scourges.
The errors of the Ancient Egyptians must serve as cautionary tales
to us, and keep us on guard against attributing a level of wisdom
and knowledge to ancient priests that ceased to exist long, long
ago. The vain effort of the magi of Ancient Egypt to counter the
triumphant Divine Spiritual Wisdom of Moses provides us with
concrete proof that, even from these times, their initiation had
deviated from the true aim of knowledge. However great their
success in the material works, they were unable to resist the
powerful effectiveness of the Divine Spiritual Wisdom. Moses,
after having been enlightened by the superior light of the Divine
Spiritual Wisdom, rose above his masters and made them aware of
his superiority. Moreover, he restored the Divine Spiritual Wisdom
in its original purity among his fellow men. This is the secret of
how he was able to lead them from Egypt into freedom. Moses was
the greatest prophet, leader and teacher that Judaism has ever
known. He is described as the only person who ever knew God
face-to-face (Deut. 34:10) and mouth-to-mouth (Num. 12:8). This
means that God spoke to Moses directly, in plain language, and not
through visions and dreams, as God communicated with other
prophets. In order to prevent people from idolatrous worship of
Moses, his grave was left unmarked (Deut. 34:6).
In regards to Naam, a basic tenet of Sikhism states that we should
not adore idols or pictures, but rather, the One Formless God – "Nirankar,
Satguru, Waheguru." Understand, that while a lack of faith and
societal distortions lead some to venerate the guru’s picture,
when we show reverence to the Siri Guru Granth Sahib, we are not
worshipping a physical object. We are worshipping the spiritual
content embodied within it. Since God is formless He can only be
sought through formless Spirit, and not through any material
object or a physical person. Unfortunately, the times we are
living in see many hypocrites dressed in the garb of spiritual
redeemers. For selfish reasons, these hypocrites exploit innocent
people by stressing that a living guru is necessary for salvation
and that they are the reincarnation of a messiah and, therefore,
worthy of worship. However, Guru Gobind Singh has proclaimed in
very clear terms that the Guru-ship hereafter is vested in the
shabad or Divine Word, which is the Divine Light of the Ten Gurus.
The main aim of Guru Nanak’s mission was to spread the gospel of
One Formless God, who could be attained by constant remembrance of
Him by simple repetition and contemplation of Naam or shabad.
According to him Guru, Naam, shabad and bani are one and the same.
The Mool-Mantra spells the qualities and attributes of God in the
most concise terms. One of these terms, "Akal Moorat," means that
God is beyond time and space (Akal) and His form is eternal (Moorat).
This means that He exists and is a reality but without any
features, form or color. In Kirtan Sohila, Guru Nanak says that
God has thousands of eyes, yet he has none. His forms are
thousands, yet He has no form. Simply put, this means that while
all the eyes and forms of all the creatures of the universe are
His because He pervades all, He has no specific form. In Japji
Sahib, Guru Nanak says that God cannot be installed nor can He be
created – “Thapia na jae, keeta na hoe, Ape Ap niranjan soe”,
because “The pure One is self-existent."
Keep in mind that no man is better than another. In the world of
spirituality you will encounter tragic-comical messiahs, saints,
prophets, charlatans, and self proclaimed psychics who run about
holding the infernal torches of fantastic ideas and bitter
fanaticism. They have lost sight of the fact that the crown, the
honor, of spirituality is bestowed by the invisible world. It can
never be conquered, bought, or manipulated. There are many people
engaged in spirituality who are full of spiritual ego. Having read
and/or listened to the scriptures many times over, these
individuals have turned themselves into spiritual egomaniacs.
Those who walk the spiritual path with ego and unhealthy pride as
their companions eventually walk with misery as well, for their
dedication and devotion is built on their own shoulders. They
demonstrate their power as a way of demonstrating that they are
superior to others. In reality, however, they are merely
half-cooked semi-Gods; spiritual junkies who know a lot of junk
but have missed the point entirely. Simply put, they may have
acquired intellectual and spiritual stuff, but they are deficient
human beings because they are not grateful, heart-centered, and
kind. Their main purpose lies in showing you that they are
superior and in establishing their domain over other people and
creatures of God. Such spiritual leaders are quite dangerous, for
they eventually become animals that deliver fatal bites while
calling themselves spiritual teachers. They may be free, or living
in the care of well-guarded asylums, but they are all in constant
communion with astral larvae.
How does one arrive at the place of such destructive spiritual
ego? When one engages with spiritual ego, the burning eagerness
for power, blind desire, and/or hateful dogmatism ally in a false
contract while the individual is seeking his/her spiritual ideal,
or union with the Cosmic self. As such an individual journeys
toward the inner temple, they arrive via the wrong train of
thought; that of ignorance and passionate egoism, at the boundary
station of insanity. They do not realize that they were on the
wrong train. Some of them even remember and identify themselves
with the subject of their devotion. No matter the circumstances,
meditating on the Sun will grant you an internal sense of
equilibrium and healing that cannot be disturbed. The Sun
strengthens our spirit and blesses our lives. Naam Yoga represents
the spiritual method of manifesting human desires, and achieving
lasting healing within the body, mind and emotions. It enables the
student to reach out for the heavens in order to heal him/herself.
He/she is then inspired to contribute to the creation of a better
world. To successfully navigate the ever-changing conditions of
life, we need to possess knowledge of the Divine Spiritual Wisdom,
for this knowledge brings love, peace and light into the soul. If
you are looking for the truth about the inner workings of life,
you will find it in the Sun. If you are looking for the keys to
Kabbalah, and the science of alchemy and mysticism, you will find
them by working with the Sun. If you are looking for that which
maintains the universe and fulfills its purpose, you will find it
in the middle sphere on the Tree of Life, called Tipheret. If you
allow yourself to fully awaken to life through meditating on the
rising Sun; if you allow yourself to respond to and perceive life,
you will see that all tragedies and sorrows belong only to the
surface of life.
