Seek Knowledge - Recommended reading



This is an interesting ebook I've read. Mind Reality - The Universe is Mental by Enoch Tan.


I believe you can find it on http://www.free-ebooks.net/

This is recommended reading for Lovites.

Here is the basic message


The World Within and the World Without

There are only two worlds. The world within and the world without.

The world within creates the world without.

The world within is mental/spiritual, the world without is material/physical.

Complete understanding of the two worlds is perfect knowledge.

The key is to understand the world within and use it to rule the world without.

The world within is the cause, the world without is the effect.

The inner governs the outer always. The outer is a reflection of the inner.

The world within and the world without are not two separate worlds. They are two different levels of the same world.

The world is mental. All is mind, the universe is mental. As above so below, as within so without. This is secret knowledge.

The two most important kinds of knowledge are secret knowledge and governing knowledge. One gives you awareness, the other gives you power. Secret Knowledge is knowing how things work and understanding what’s going on. The reason why it is secret is because it is not normally known. It is so powerful that only those with insight and perception can appreciate its value. Only conscious people can see reality for what it really is.

When you have this knowledge, you can use it first to govern yourself, then use it to govern everything else. This is called using secret knowledge as governing knowledge.

Governing knowledge is knowledge that runs your psyche. It is the governing statements of your mind that determine what you do, how you do it and why you do it. It is the operating dynamics that controls your thoughts, your emotions and your behaviors. What governs your mind, governs your reality. By governing yourself, you can govern the world.
When you can control yourself, you can control others.

You can only control what is without by controlling what is within. All control is self control.
To be in control, you must know. All knowledge is self knowledge. You can overcome something by overcoming it within. When you overcome it within yourself, you overcome
it in the world.



Now that you've read that, hopefully, understand that just because I say you should read it doesnt make it law or any such nonsense. I recommend it because you might gleen some bit of knowledge that can help you in your life. I did. It helped me define the real difference between spiritual and physical. It also helped me to deal with my arachnaphobia. I hope it helps you. God Bless.

The Divine Directives

1. (The Prime Directive) Love All.

2. Forgive All.

3. Do that which is Good/Positive, avoid doing that which is Bad/Negative.

4. Do not give money to Divine Lovism, pay your bills, feed your family. If giving makes you feel good, give to the charities that feed the starving children of the world.

5. Always seek knowledge, never stop learning. Study all the religions of the world.

6. Live for God.

7. Love yourself, forgive yourself.

Divine Lovism

Thats the name, thanks for the push Erin. The Church of Gods Divine Love. Followers of this new religion will henceforth be known as Lovites. Be warned there is another form of Lovism, it appears that they believe you can have sex with anyone married or not. I want to distinguish Divine Lovism from that other lovism. Sex is physical, Love is spiritual. Divine Lovism is purely spiritual. Know the difference.

Our symbol shall henceforth be known as the Loving Cross.

Comments and questions are welcome.
If you want counseling or to converse with me outside of blogger, I have made an email address for the church: godsdivinelove#hotmail.com Change the # to @.

More to come...

A change of heart...

God spoke to me again through bizarre means. I was watching a television show that pokes fun at good christians, I dont remember exactly what was said but the message was that we have to keep the cross sacred. I wasnt really happy with the previous post and image so I deleted it. I believe God wants me to keep the cross sacred, not as a reminder of Christs suffering and torture but as a reminder of why God gave his son. He loves us. A name for the church still eludes me. Thank you God.

Message Received.

I had a scare this morning, as I was waking up it felt like someone put a phone to my ear and a woman said "Go to a doctor now". The voice was clear as a bell, and loud. It really scared me, I made an appointment. I think it was an angel. I haven't been to a doctor in years, I am untrusting of the medical profession. It made me realize that I am afraid of death, I want to live, now more than ever. Thanks for the warning God, I will take better care of my health now.

Knock and the door shall be opened...

Right after yesterdays post I went to a website I had never been to before and there was Gods answer. In big letters it said, "God believes in you. Believe in yourself." With Gods help I will create a new religion. I am having trouble coming up with a name, any suggestions are welcome. God is with me, I cannot fail.

He leadeth me...

This sounds crazy, especially for me, but I think God wants me to start a new religion. Is it possible that he would use someone as doubtful as me to bring forth a new time of worship. I think of Mother Teresa, how everyone saw her as holy, yet after her death we saw that she was doubtful of her own faith. I am reminded of all the wonderful things she did selflessly, even though she doubted she still worked for God. Is that the message, that even though I am doubting myself, God can still do great works through me? I know that I will come under criticism from family and friends because they do not understand my relationship with Christ. I can accept that, but what if this isn't God talking to me, what if I'm just imagining this? It started out as a discussion between myself and a friend, about the state of our nation, and how might things change for the better, but it occurs to me that if some great revolution were to occur, it would be handled by greater men than me. My best hope would be to change the world spiritually, to open hearts and minds to accept Gods love. Maybe I'm crazy? If anyone has any pearls of wisdom that could help please comment. I guess I'll keep contemplating until God moves me one way or another. God Bless.

My Fathers house has many mansions...

Do Christians believe in reincarnation? I do. I think that we all should. There are many verifiable stories of people who not only recovered memories of past lives, but were able to prove that those past lives were fact. I believe all things are possible under Heaven. Have you ever had a moment where you saw some far away place on tv, and felt a deep memory of what it was like to be there? I have. Dont think me crazy, but I feel Egypt every time I see one of those History Channel shows about ancient Egypt. The feeling is so strong sometimes I can almost smell it. In the Hindu religion it is believed that you reincarnate many times each time is another step toward a perfect soul. Now dont say that Hindus are heathens or any such insult. Comparatively, Jesus teachings are very similar. I believe that the missing time in Christs life he was studying philosophy and religion in the east. I feel I have been reincarnated many times. I also feel that the story of Christs birth, death, and resurrection is the perfect example of reincarnation. Talk of a second coming also rings of reincarnation. Do you think its possible that animals can reincarnate. I do. My cat, Ginger, responds to another name, she mirrors the behavior of another cat I had. The other cat was Liberty, she had a mean temperament, and so does Ginger, and Ginger will answer to Liberty. You can see Liberty in Gingers eyes. I will go more into animal spirits later. Sometimes we all should take a moment to think about the past and where we were when those important moments in history were taking place, especially the times when we weren't born yet. Look inside yourself and ask God to reveal the truth to you, and you will see. Blessed be the seeker. The light of God will show you the way.

To everything, there is a season...

I'd like to tell the story of how God moved me to be in the right place at the right time, and how he heard my pleas and answered in a strange way. I was about 18 years old, it was one of those days, I was depressed and feeling like I would never have someone to love. My last girlfriend had been when I was 15. I was flipping through the channels on the tv. I stopped on a channel that was broadcasting one of those Televangelists. He was speaking loudly and rapidly, he would say things like, "You there alone in your house, God will answer that prayer, and you driving in your car, God knows how hard this has been for you and He will send you help". Then he said something that had to be for me. He said, "You there wallowing in loneliness, God is sending you a love, she will be recently divorced with two young children. They are gonna need you". I got on my knees and cried, I was full of joy. I knew that message was for me. I dont remember that preachers name, but he spoke to me that day. I was uplifted and had a reason to live again. Years passed and that love never showed up and I began to doubt. I doubted myself, I doubted God. I thought that I was at such a low point that I must've been grasping for anything that would pull me out of it. Then a few years later, I was 26, my brother and his wife came to visit us. They lived in Tennessee. They spoke well of Tennessee and then they invited my mother and myself to move down there. I felt the hand of God pushing me. I knew that this move was the right thing for me. My mother once asked me if I was sure that I wanted to move, I told her I had to. I felt my destiny waiting for me there. By November of that year I am living in Tennessee and it is beautiful. I met, immediately, a woman with two young kids, whose husband had just left her. I knew she was for me. It took me awhile to get around to asking her out. Thankfully I had a push from my niece, she knew how I felt about this lady, she could sense it. She pushed me in the right direction and I thank God and my niece for bringing us together. We finally got married in 2001. We had lived "in sin" from 1994. My wife was cautious, she was afraid I would leave her like her first husband did. It took me some time to fully win her trust. During that time I got to know her kids and I love them so much. They are my kids, I may not have made them, but God made sure they were there because he knew I wanted a family of my own more than anything. I am unable to have kids so they are truly a blessing. It is 2008 and my wife and I are closer than ever, our youngest just turned 18. Thank You God. You saw my need and you fulfilled it. Your love saved me. Thank you.

He who has eyes to see, let him see...

I want to talk about the supposedly good Christians. My wife, who was my girlfriend at the time, was waiting, for some reason, in the car and a guy approached her and started making conversation. That seems strange unless you know this little town we live in, people are overly friendly. Anyways, during this conversation my wife mentioned that she was about to get married for a second time. He was shocked, he asked her what church she went to. She replied that she didnt go to church, which further shocked him. He said that she would burn in hell for being divorced from her first husband unless she got permission from a minister to marry again. Even though her first husband cheated on her and left her with two young kids and a stack of bills. He then walked away. She told this story to me, and I replied that he must be old school Christian, fire and brimstone. I told her that God himself would not say that to her, He would understand. Fast forward a few years later, and we go visit my wifes Grandmother. She was in her eighties at the time. She told us how a friend of hers told her she was going to hell because she couldnt attend church. She was physically unable, though she had been a good Christian all her life. Would Jesus say that, or would he bring the church to her? This is why I dont trust churches, those guys were raised believing that stuff, their respective churches cultivated them to believe the way they wanted them to. George Carlin, who was not a religious man, once said that religion is mind control. I find that to be true. My daughter attends a Methodist church, and sometimes she comes home with some weird ideas about whats right and whats wrong. My wife and I then take time to explain to her what we believe, and why we disagree with what she learned at church. A few years back, I dont recall the exact circumstances, my beautiful and intelligent daughter said she thought that if a girl got raped she deserved it. Imagine the shocked expressions on our faces. We had a very long conversation and straightened her out. But just to think that she learned that somewhere, frightens me. Where in this world are people teaching that kind of thinking. I think this religious mind control goes all the way back to the Romans. They edited the Bible to suit their needs, so they could use everyones fervent belief to control them. It has been the same all through the centuries. I decided long ago that I would worship God in my own way. How many people were burned at the stake in the name of God. That proves to me that organized religion is dangerous. Believe in God, do not believe in church. If you attend a church for whatever reason you must constantly ask yourself if what they are saying is in accordance with Gods infinite love.
