Signet IL Y’ Vyavia: Daniel

The writer (for the term "author" is not the correct one since a term like "hearer" is probably more correct) was born in North Dakota and grew up in Washington. He worked for the Rosicrucian Order, AMORC in the 1970s and was in charge of international printing and publishing and later shipping and receiving, where he served in the supreme grand lodge and took initiation as well as served on their initiation teams. He was, at the time, hugely influenced by Frater Erwin Watermeyer and also had a very deep personal friendship with people like Lamar Kilgore. From 1987 to the present, he has worked in the medical imaging field as an MRI engineer in service and support for medical manufacturing. He was introduced to Rosicrucianism, Martinism, and Kabbalah initially through the Rosicrucian Order, AMORC in the 1970s as well as to alchemy. It was then that he also studied hypnosis through people like Lavona Stillman, Arnold Furst, and Ormond McGill. He studied practical alchemy after first being introduced to it through AMORC and from Frater Albertus (Albert Reidel) in Salt Lake City at his Paracelsus College and then worked at it as an amateur alchemist in his own labs. He was hugely influenced by the writing of the Theosophical Society as well as the Philosophical Research Society, Freemasonry, and other esoteric groups. He was a distant home study member of the group calling itself the Philosophers of Nature when it first formed until it faded; it was founded by Jean Dubuis and run by Russ and Sue House. Then, in 1988, he became devoted to Sri Sathya Sai Baba. He has been a student of private study and meditation practices and a collector of rare books and periodicals on many subjects and research for over forty-five years. These studies include academic studies as well as brief periods involved with BOTA, the Golden Dawn, Theosophy, SRF, Eastern and Western philosophical systems, and Kabbalah. He has written for private correspondence as well as poetic works, but for many years, he has also written as a technical writer in the fields of NMR and MRI, even underwater sonar and sound properties in the 1980s. Disenchantment or disillusionment came with established curriculums, and it has had its own epiphany. He began writing for a popular philosophical publication after experiencing many inner visits and demands inspired by meditations touched by Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba and one's own inner hearing, which has provided its own demand to get to work. This was stepped up dramatically after Sai Baba's death and an inner visit from Sai Baba just prior to his death. Accepting no excuses for the lazy, disinterested nature of modern culture nor the fixed ideologies of subjects overlabored through the distribution of more and more books on many subjects (usually rewritten and hardly understood), he has taken on his own open philosophical challenge for the review of the many experts who provide well-read commentary rather than practical inner experience in the hopes of redefining one’s practical philosophy through initiatic use of dramatic philosophical language and, particularly, the spiritual dynamics hidden in the depths available to the readers of the English language.

DEDICATION

Book 1, Zanoni: Apertura a Napoli; The Initiation of Glyndon, was a tame introduction into the Mysteries for the Philosophical series, The Akshaya Patra Volume 1, Book 1 entitled Manasa Bhajare: Worship in the Mind.

The first book, Zanoni: Apertura a Napoli; The Initiation in Naples, The Initiation of Glyndon Part One, like this book, was the first novella initiation meant to be a preparation for developing the instinctual sense of moral values in one’s pursuit of self-discovery for realizing the precious nature of human life.

Book 2 of this series is more demanding than Book One, dealing with terms for extracting the depths of one’s life in metaphysical trials, and for reading the internal message and meaning in self-contemplation and meditation. This escapes from the norm and transports the mind into the medium of self-awareness, in order to reach deeply into the secrets that ultimately breed maturity within the Mysteries. This provides introductions to the meanings that are hidden in the murals of the moral mind.

Book 2 is intended to take apart the candidate (the reader) in order to initiate them through the experiences and contemplations of Glyndon, Zanoni, Mejnour, and Viola. And by these, through demonstrations and experimentation, inspire contemplation in order to unfold certain requirements, for the formation of a sense of human values. This method is used in order to come face to face with characteristic flaws within our nature that accompany our natural inner demons (selfishness, envy etc.), as well as have us face their counterparts in life. For those who wish to proceed into these Sacred Mysteries along the path, the awakening of devotion and moral interests are essential.

We are, after all, human and have a human experience that is divine. That experience is the life initiation. That experience is what drives us in our lives and is the hallmark witnessed by us within our lives through contemplation. Our lives assume the characteristics to unfold through these.

How we waken to this is a matter of experience and awareness. Our lives are a spiritual experience from their inception to their ends. Every moment is transfigured by Time who is the Master.

Time, the Master of this experience is perfect and by its latent and patent energies there are powers that are deeply timed to unfold from them in the awakening of these through divine awareness. The ideal of Time and superconsciousness is called out as the spirit of Brahma/YHVH or Tetragrammaton. This is brought out as unfolding from out of super-states that are hidden behind those energies of mortality and superconsciousness.

Time is not the hour hand; it is not the finite concept we’ve been given to believe in. Time is the spirit of the divine. It is the motion derived from change within the dynamic nature witnessed by the characteristics of absolutes, turned relative, within those boundaries formed by the transformations of superconsciousness.

In the process of initiation, man is a tough nut to crack. This being naturally inclined due to the abuses of human comfort and security. Our being is born as the witness to the world of foolishness. Man as well has within him that perfect sense of awareness in the processes of divine awakening, subject to the boundaries of these inner dimensions of divinity.

In the portrayal of Zanoni; the Dark Night: The Initiation of Glyndon, Part Two, I decided to crack that dumb nut with the shock of family ties. To this end, it was decided to reach Glyndon with the first indications of the human and moral responsibilities for family protection. As the older brother he bears a moral responsibility. His younger sister Adela Glyndon, an orphan, became his responsibility with the death of his parents. This will become that breakdown that will open up with madness in the third book.

Little did I know that within just a week of this decision for that conclusion and transition of writing from book 2 to book 3, I would come face to face with the sudden loss of my own older sister, as the result of a tragedy. This led to the acceleration of her fight with cancer which was something completely unexpected for us as a family. She went from relatively good health, and within a week she was gone.

Therefore I have decided to dedicate Zanoni: The Dark Night; The Initiation of Glyndon Part Two, to my sister, Nancy, and to those who suffer in innocence by nature’s demands, like she did. She spent the last thirty-five years of her life assisting in the placement of orphans into families and assisting orphanages around the world. Her life was devoted to providing better treatment for the less than fortunate. This is where the world goes dark at birth and it comes face to face with those tests of decency in order to ensure that children are not forgotten. This is where there are duties that follow moral tests in the destinies of motherhood.

Mankind degrades itself too often, through lack of sympathy or empathy, and during moments of their objections, when the mind takes on the form of an animal in the playground of desires.

Man has the inconceivable at his call, the Word mystery of the absolute, the Voice of mind and reason, upon which to lay down terms for awareness that will satisfy right conduct and agreement, in the face of human conscience. These are determined by Truth that comes to witness truth, in order to consider a trust that is drawn from that inner voice and awareness, as arbiter and final judge—for making our final judgment, and to prepare agreements that come to terms for guiding us, in our place, in order to face the judgment for our final arguments. There we have to decide our fate and our future consequence. These are our wages. This is the gain and loss we prepare for in our lives, from the consequence of actions and the consequence of Time. We decide our destiny by these.

Glyndon and his sister Adela were orphans, poor orphans. They have the characteristics written in the character, of the less than fortunate.

There are always difficulties to face in life. That is the purpose for which we have come. These set the standards for our tests. None of this is easy to deal with mentally, because of the sense of abandonment. It is difficult to break the chain of experiences. But our tests are our tests.

Anyway, because of this work, I have also decided to dedicate this second book in the series to those less fortunate who may still have needs unmet in matters of childhood abandonment.

Service to others, the love of others, and the love of God (by any form or measure) are the only real remedies. You cannot medicate the lifestyle as a substitute for this need for love that has not been met. The love of others and the love of God will conquer the worst experience.

Service to others will break the chains of detriment or disadvantages. You cannot break this through endless tantrums and protests. That is a childish psychology that is used as a means for getting through and justifying one’s existence in the unfair world that is caught in the field of mind and senses.

The good fortune is even to be born an orphan. The orphans are the ones who were lucky in this world of ours. They were the one’s fortunate enough, to not have to deal with the evils of abortion or immoral abandonment, or the sacrifices that these take on in the passage between the instruments of God and man. As sad as this comment comes to weigh on us.

Life’s initiations are not always fair, and they cannot be. Unfortunately, bigger mouths with little minds are always the first at play on this political scene, indulging in the sacrifices that come when bearing the responsibilities.

These rites of evil intentions present many difficulties in life, and the karmic whiplash is not withheld. Each test is ours to satisfy or justify our behavior. The knife cannot cut the womb of the subtle self quite so easily as that flesh of an unwanted infant; lying innocent and helpless under the mother’s protection in the confines of the womb.

Those who survive birth survive with the need for being cared for after birth. They were born innocent and otherwise would not survive without the help of parents to attend to their infancy and youth.

Even to adulthood, many still find they have to bear the memories—wounds, in fact—of these abandonments, which they often take with them to their graves.

This sense of family is something most of us have taken for granted in the love, dependence, duty, and devotion that shows itself, with the good and bad, in those initiations of family life. Those experiences are given to us to help us shape the heart and encourage our destinies. These destinies are marching toward divinity.

This is the true justice provided by divinity, and that justice shapes society. Nature encourages us in the demonstration of this through our investigations into the lives of every creature. These are natural instincts and duties that are given to us at the child’s inception.

Even in the care of animals, every infant is provided for, and we see this first with the provisions of the mother’s milk.

Our first value after taking the first breath, is the miracle of life and being given the opportunity to share those experiences with divinity in the flesh. Who gave us permission to deny this miracle for others?

This is the greatest value we share for having been given our opportunity for birth. This is not always easy, but it is the test of the family of man and the true meaning of fraternity.

This process of dealing with the divine gives birth to initiation for the realization of the starkly subtle (occult) that accompanies us with the first breath, and it is awakened by the Miracle of Time.

With that awakening comes the burden and the sacrifice. This is more than dealing with the psychologically insignificant, or silly inconveniences, so matter-of-factly presented in the academies. These are tendencies that distort the entrance into the sense of awakening that we take to the grave, with the mention of these divine subtleties.

We also have to deal with the many academic and political distortions that are indoctrinated into our thinking processes. These are suggested in fact, into our psyche during those hypnotic moments when the mind is tired and most susceptible to suggestions. Those distortions are born of the repetitions that bombard the senses. The senses shackle us to earth and bind us to the material form.

Time has been emphasized in human life. Time is the gift of life. Time is God. In fact, time is Brahma/Tetragrammaton, the Maker of the Form. It is at the heart of the appearance of motion. Motion is the finite appearance of divinity.

Motion is life. God, as an appearance, is first the process evoking Eternal Time, the orbit, cycle, or periodicity. This is that perfect state that is God incarnate. It is called into being with the incarnation of the Voice or Word of God. This is something more subtle than the archetypes of form.

We think of time as the ticking of the clock, which is nothing but nonsense, based upon the fabrications and the cataloguing of many generations of sensory investigations that have wasted life in false observations. Time is formless. Time is God and the first appearance of superconsciousness as the dynamic that appears in the qualities of change.

This is hard to realize since we are indoctrinated into fundamental native rhetoric, written laws, and principles that are not always conceived out of wisdom, but out of the burden of the senses.

Time is the theme and message of superconsciousness. Time is the principle known as Brahma/Tetragrammaton. It, within its ancient rites, appears in the context of the first verse of the Genesis. This was the insight of divine awareness that was written into the ancient Mysteries. That Bereshith (Genesis) is Veritas (Divine Truth).

image009.png

Hebrew Kabalists, who have climbed the ladder of the Tree of Life, call the Genesis of Time, Brahma/Tetragrammaton, the Bereshith or Aima, being the Mother Beth or Binah, and have declared the sacred image to be the sacred mother of life, as the spirit womb between time and eternity that gave us birth into consciousness, time, and space realities.

This is the alchemical mystery of the womb and is the cause of procreation. God lies within the womb and comes into being as man with the first breath of life.

She, the Spirit Mother, brought with her the gift of love, light, and life that is born, along with awareness, out of the eternal property declared to be the omniscient, omnipotent, and omnipresent, and she shared her name with God as Mother EVE, or as God divided, forming HVH, the Spirit of life, one with the six emanations that stands on the Tree of Life, supported by two opposing pillars, as the image of the Soul of the Universe on the Tree of Life.

There is no greater evil in man than the violation of this principle, the principle of the womb, the principle of life: the male and female mystery wherein God stands as the mediator and representative. God incarnates in the womb to formulate the instrument. Man, the lesser or Adam (Purusha), enters with the Breath of Life to engage in the experience that is either male or female.

Out of this "Bare-shith Bara Aelohim," man began to propagate and create. This is the first message out of the womb, to generate and replicate God throughout future generations.

The first womb within the cosmos is Time. In Hebrew as said, it is the creation, being the Bara-Shith-Bara, the creation out of the six emanations of God. In Sanskrit it is the power of the Manipura, the spirit of God resident in the womb and belly (the alchemical or first creative lab of life).

This is the womb of Mother Shakti. The real power is the power to give life. We review it in physics in the silly terms derived from silly characteristics that we call out blindly with sophistication, determined by our senses, as spirit it is now defined by hypocrites as energy.

Power is by itself not clear evidence. What education mocks is vague, when it mocks us by simple statements, the ends of which lie in silliness. It is more truly the Fool’s Energy as we understand it, being of maya (life motion and desire) in the Magicians Art, or that Maker from Time the First Spirit; who, having discarded or escaped from the essence, has discovered itself unfolding powers of true value, which were given as a result of the life that lies within it. It is that factor that is greater than morality, and is that state of righteousness and truth, or Veritas. It is the tone of superconscious musical Time stamping out a rhythm.

Were Truth not life’s only, but also its better witness, its first principle would clearly be recognized in the power of procreation as the Master Maker of moral intention.

The spirit of life is a sacrifice, and the essence of this is the giving up of life by virtue of its evidence. Divinity is the essence of motion. This propagation of life comes with marriage, family, and fecundity, and this is its best evidence for perpetuity. It is like the butter churned from the milk that is the Milky Way and the true essence of the spirit of superconsciousness.

One’s time (the miracle of the nativity that unfolds in one’s life’s history) is as precious as every the moment that is well spent. Demand the evidence of the devils and their arguments. They are our educators in life. Our lives are spent in time. Our life is derived from its living elements and their characteristics born of superconsciousness—motion, sound, heat, light, energy, vibration, spin, orbits, consciousness—these shape and form around that body of awareness that is omnipresent and which represents it. It, in fact, is the image of its life and consciousness. Forget about the Darwinists.

The essentials in the elements of energy conclude in the form we call Self-Sacrifice, love, truth, and righteousness. The hands, feet, and mind should be dedicated to their betterment. This is the giving up of time and self-energy in the service that is divine or the miracle that is formless. This determines our initiation and thus provides us with a better life determined by our love that is given from within it.

There is no greater sacrifice than the sacrifice of one’s time in the loving care of another, someone other than ourselves, or the service to mankind. In this giving, God is the gift, being the absolute embodiment of Time. God becomes the Spirit of the sacrifice.

There is no other way one can share in the properties of God and Man (Purusha Adam Kadmon) but through our efforts, as these are intertwined as time and superconscious energy.

To waste time is to turn one’s back upon the divine and cast away one’s life as if it were given for the purposes
