INTRODUCTION

Because of their importance, I will spend some time in this chapter to explain certain terms, concepts and brief introduction to few choices of religions, Sufism/Islam, Christianity, Judaism, Eckankar, and Buddhism. This brief introduction to few major organized religions is to educate, open our hearts to the perpetual bond of Divine Love that makes us all a Loving Family by Divine Design regardless of our religious beliefs, and how to overcome the inadequacies of being driven by written words alone, written scriptures instead of the Living Word, Divine Spirit.

I attempt to show The Common Thread in major religions of our world.

I emphasize Why you should know who you truly are.

You would be able to realize the division religions have brought to the world, and, I repeated myself several times on the simple, yet powerful bond of Divine Love that makes us all one family.

It takes someone who has touched the robe of God to know these things. This is the peace and harmony the world seeks, know thyself and you will recognize your fellowman and woman as members of your Divine Family.

The heart in which this Divine Love has stirred cannot but seek and maintain sustainable peace in himself or herself, his or her family, community, country and the world. Mother Theresa is a unique example, so is Jesus the Christ, Shamus-i-Tabriz a Sufi Master and several other Saints or Spiritual Masters.

About Me

It is important to introduce myself. I want you to know how far I have come in my spiritual development, my quest to know who God is, time I have devoted to research, studying and practicing certain religions including Metaphysics, prayers, speaking in tongues, meditation, Spiritual Exercises, and contemplation. Unknowingly for me, I was being prepared for this moment from childhood.

In my heart, I am an advocate of perpetual peace in the world. I want to help every Soul through my writings to establish love and harmony in their hearts and mind. I want to show the world how to discover who they are and their true divine relationship to everyone else.

If you have an open mind you will appreciate my work because they come from my own personal experiences, and authentic knowing, not here says.

Sri Harold Klemp, a Spiritual Leader of our time said; The difference between a primary source and a secondary source is the difference between knowing and faith. In ECK (paraphrase, another name for the Holy Spirit – end of paraphrase)" we live our lives according to the principle of the primary source. To us, the way to truth is through personal experience, here on the physical plane as well as in the inner worlds. This is how we learn what life is all about and what truth means to us individually." From the book, Unlocking The Puzzle Box, Mahanta Transcript, Book 6, by Harold Klemp.

What I am trying to do here is to bridge the gaps in different belief systems with what I have discovered to be real, authentic and provable by personal experiences through certain Spiritual Exercises, Contemplation or Meditation Techniques or Methods.

The gaps to be closed include teaching the world to know who they are individually via certain Spiritual Exercises that will open their inner sights and inner hearing to the Living Word, Divine Spirit or Holy Spirit.

Over the ages, many wise men have said the same thing in different ways: Man know thyself; then thou shalt know the Universe and God, by Pythagoras as quoted in Fragments of Reality : Daily Entries of Lived Life (2006) by Peter Cajander, p. 109. Pope John Paul said in one of his books, Crossing The Threshold of Faith Be not afraid to discover who you are.

What I am attempting to do or teach is not new; yet it is the most important gift that leads to wisdom and spiritual freedom that anyone can give to himself or herself, a true gift that keeps on giving.

Another of the gaps I am intending to close in my writing is the golf between faith and Knowing, the gap between the written words, Holy Scriptures like the Christian Bible, Islam’s Quran, Jewish Bible Tanakh, and the Living Word, the Holy Audible Sound Current that everyone is capable of hearing loud and clear on the inner channel when they still their minds.

When you realize how many of these scriptures are – see table below, and not only the number, but they meet the spiritual needs of their believers, you probably would realize why there are so many viewpoints and confusion about God, the heavens and how to get there.

I want to put an end to the confusion by mining the golden gems in every scripture that many devotees have forgotten or have been unable to discover; The Audible Sound Current, Divine Spirit or Holy Spirit, given different Names in different cultures and religions, yet It is One and the Same Living Word of God.

Let us have a high level look at some principal scriptures on the chart below, I will dig deeper on religions as we go on:

As a child and youth I practiced Christianity, learned the Bible as a protestant and attended the Anglican Church.

As a youth in High School I attended the Roman Catholic chapel. It was mandatory as a student in a Roman Catholic funded college at that time. For years, living in the dormitory I learned and practiced this aspect or sect of Christianity which was different in a way from my orthodox practices and experiences.

After High School I continued to attend Orthodox Anglican Church but wasn’t satisfied anymore. I wanted to know more, I wanted meanings to some inner experiences I was having.

In light of this, seeing an ad in the newspaper I applied to the Zorafian Institute of Perfection to study some mystical practices and later discovered Rosicrucian. I read a couple of Rosicrucian introductory literatures like Liber 777 but soon got discouraged and settled for my Christian religion. Next, I started to attend Cherubim and Seraphim church. This church uses the Bible but known for being a church of prophesy due to the long hours they spend on tarrying for the Holy Spirit or Holy Ghost, followed by sudden outbursts of speaking in tongues and prophecy.

I did not stay very long in the Cherubim and Seraphim church. Through my Aunt, Elizabeth I discovered The Apostolic Church. This is a Pentecostal Evangelical church that believes and preaches that theirs is the only authentic Christianity and practice.

I spent ten good years as a member of The Apostolic Church. I was re-baptized there by immersion, my first baptism as a baby was by anointment. I joined the choir and the Evangelical Party. I went to Friday vigils, praying and tarrying for the Holy Spirit from 10:00PM to 6:00AM Saturday morning. I started to speak in tongues during verbal prayers. A unique gift that no other vigil members ever talked about was given to me, I started to have out-of-body spiritual experiences that no one in the church could explain.

Whether I liked it or not, whether I felt at ease with it or not, whether I knew what it was or not, I kept popping out of my physical body after hearing some Windy Sound coming from deep within me. In those early years of my searching, I kept all these experiences in my heart of hearts waiting for some explanations.

My profession is Information Technology. When I finished my post graduate program in Software Engineering at the University of Oxford I wanted to pursue a Doctorate Degree in the same Information Technology field but after deep thoughts following my 19 year old daughter’s automobile accident, translation (death of the physical body) and
