Continuing to work on the third book of the third trilogy: Understanding God - Changes nothing and everything we know about God.

The book is being placed on this site under the icon: The Essence of This Site.

When it is finished I will place it in the free book section.

This is the first book I have written where I feel no time pressure.

I think the lack of time constraint is due to my approaching the end of my life long journey dealing directly and indirectly with the ethereal.

I hope that is not the case. If it is I will miss it.

On the other hand, I may just be entering a new phase with a new form of involvement.

Lately I do feel a strong desire to present the material to groups. 

The introduction of a desire on my part to present the material to groups seems alien to me since I have had extreme social panic attacks since the age of sixteen. These panic attacks seem to have just mysteriously diminished to almost nothing over the last six to eight months.

During this period of time I have gone from having to take three Xanax whenever I would participate in public to taking none.

Hmmmm, interesting.]]>Sun, 23 Dec 2018 02:32:15 GMThttp://panentheismaddressing.com/personal-journal/youtube-channelBeginning a youtube channel titled: The Rational House of God.
]]>Sat, 26 May 2018 20:13:47 GMThttp://panentheismaddressing.com/personal-journal/difficult-to-leave-the-i-want-behindI have no idea regarding where this work is going nor regarding the impact this work has or will have upon our species’ historical vector of violence and intolerance.
 
But it is not my job to focus upon the works impact upon our species, rather it is simply my commitment to put the information ‘out there’ in return for answers to the myriad questions I had as to the interrelationship of God (the creator of the physical universe), the physical  universe and humanity both as a species and as individuals.
 
I often find the work depressing and seemingly of little significance because I lose sight of my real function as mentioned in the above paragraph.
 
I do not feel pride in the work for I recognize my lack of professional writing skills and ability to simplify the work.
 
I do however feel a sense of honor to act as a conduit for these ideas to flow from the ethereal (eternal/non-physical existence) reality into the temporal physical reality 
 
I am writing the third book in the third trilogy but I am having difficulty sorting out the format and establishing who should be the primary element.
 
Patience is the name of game at this point. I have little choice but to relax, be patient and let the work take its natural course.
 
Difficult to be patient.]]>Tue, 01 May 2018 17:10:07 GMThttp://panentheismaddressing.com/personal-journal/to-my-childrenPanentheism Addressing Humanity’s Purpose in Reality (excerpt from free books section)

“I believe with perfect faith that the Creator, blessed be his name, is not a body, and that he is free from all accidents of matter, and that he has not any form whatsoever.” Malmonides (1135 - 1204) Spanish Hebrew Philosopher Thirteen Principles

Preface Man, Religion, the Soul, and the Stars are not Incompatible;

They Are a Symbiotic Necessity For: Chris, Danni, and Scott I am a Christian but my writings are about the universality of God, man’s and mans’ tie to God, man’s and mans’ purpose in life, all religions, not just Christianity, and their importance and lack of importance to man’s eternal life.

It is about eternal life itself and the reality of that idea.

It is about heaven and hell, and why all Christians are heading to both just as are all men of all faiths.

It is a flow of words generated from the heart as well as the mind. It’s a culmination of philosophical ideas intended to broaden your mind and expand your tolerance.

It’s a book dealing with today and a book dealing with tomorrow.

​Go out into the world, learn from the past, but do not linger in it.

Live in the present, but control it - do not let it control you.

Look to the future, but not in fear - rather in excitement for the new challenges to come.

Read, read, read. There are many novel, exciting, and mind expanding ideas out there for you to discover. Read The Celstine/ Prophecy and Mutant Message Down Under. Each touched upon the special place man has in this universe and a purpose Man has in this eternity.

We cannot come to terms with ourselves, however, until we answer the puzzle in life regarding our purpose as individuals and as a species.

Once we have solved this puzzle, we will have freed our energies up for the beautiful and exciting journey to the stars and we will have brought not only ourselves to peace internally, but given rise to the opportunity for all men to feel the same.

We will finally have reached our first universal purpose as physical terrestrial life forms, which will, in turn, allow us to leap from this beautiful blue and white sphere into the immensity of space.

In addition, we will also have reached the understanding that our true essence lies not in our physical self, but in our conscious self or soul. We will have come to peace with all our fellow men and we will have finally come to peace with the concept all religions teach, which is that we are all truly brothers.

We all need each other no matter how different we may appear.

We all, each and every one, have a niche to fill in life.

I hope this book will shed light upon this fact, act as one more step in our attempt to fulfill our purpose on this earthly planet, and help lead us to our next step as a species, which is a leap to the stars.

We cannot and will not be able to make the leap significantly until we have come to terms with ourselves, accept our fellow man as our fellow man, regardless of color or religion, and be able to feel free to act as unique individuals within the framework of a cohesive unified species.

We have all the pieces of the puzzle to do this. When we look around ourselves, the world seems to be tearing itself apart: crime, famine, global inhumanity of man to man, disease, pestilence, and especially the intolerance of individuals to individuals.

How can this be a good time?

How can this be a threshold of our greatest leap to understanding ourselves, reaching for the stars, and touching God?

It does not seem to make sense. It seems to be contradictory in nature, but it isn’t.

Human-generated chaos and catastrophes exist because we are at the dawning of a new age for mankind.

We are so anxious to make the quantum leap that we are overextending all aspects of our societies and we are not coordinating our overall energies to unify the efforts we have already established.

We are lacking a simple universal philosophy that embraces all people, cultures, religions, and traditions.

We are lacking a universal philosophy that will unite people rather than splinter them.

We are lacking the understanding of our purpose as individuals and as a species.

A simple example of this is welfare in its present form. It is well intentioned in its attempt to aid our fellow man, but it is, in fact, destructive in its present falsely compassionate form, since it destroys the sense of self-worth within the individual.

It was not developed maliciously but rather in a vacuum.

It was developed with no universal philosophy of either the purpose or understanding of man or mankind to guide its path; rather it just drifted into its present form.

We have all the pieces to make the leap to peace and unity of man and man to himself, but in our excitement, we are not letting our left hand help our right.

It’s like building a tower of blocks and we are 999 pieces high and need to place our last piece.

Using both hands will allow one hand to stabilize the other and allow the task to be completed successfully.

​We must take a breath, unite our hands, and finish the task.
]]>Sat, 31 Mar 2018 16:43:14 GMThttp://panentheismaddressing.com/personal-journal/reason-for-my-absenceI have been preoccupied with writing the third book in the third trilogy regarding panentheism.

The third trilogy consists of: Understanding the Whole of Reality, Understanding the Soul, and now Understanding the Creator.

​Each of the books in the third trilogy embrace their own unique formats.
 
The book, Understanding the Creator, is evolving with a format of eight syllables per line.
 
This format appears to be lending itself quite well to the objective of the book.
 
Completion date: Unknown at this point.

Now that the book has evolved to the point of having a somewhat solid foundation format, I am going to try to give this site more of my attention.]]>Fri, 20 Oct 2017 17:00:26 GMThttp://panentheismaddressing.com/personal-journal/the-war-over-our-unalienable-rightsThe war and the battles involved with this site have nothing to do with physical violence.

The war and the battles involved with this site are all about ideas, reason, rational arguments. This is a war for the minds of humanity. This is a war over the minds of the agnostics, the doubters, those disgusted with the blatant lies being perpetrated by those who want to relegate humanity's status to that of purely atoms and molecules.

This is a war of the theists against the atheists. 

This is not a site which aims to 'convert' through 'beliefs' but rather this is a site which aims to provide the theists with a weapon they have found sorely lacking in their attempt to lay a foundation beneath their arguments of belief, namely the foundation of reason and rationality supporting their 'beliefs'.

Now, rather than the theist having to rely upon the concept, 'One must have faith.',
the theist will now be able to throw down the gauntlet of reason to attack the atheists arguments.

To the victor goes the spoils and in this case the spoils are not only simple indeed but the spoils are priceless indeed. As they say: Great things come in small packages.

The spoils of this war: Our unalienable rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness are granted to us by our Creator not by men.

Without the existence of a Creator, there are no unalienable rights and we become simply dust blowing in the wind.

Stand tall and stand strong. Truth is on your side.
]]>Wed, 18 Oct 2017 17:09:27 GMThttp://panentheismaddressing.com/personal-journal/awakeningI 'awoke' in 1995.

Gurdjieff said a man must receive multiple consistent shocks to awaken.

I received my first shock at the age of 16 in 1961. The first shock was debilitating and led to a total destruction of who I was and where I was going in life.

The shocks came in a flurry of daily bombardments and never ceased until about a year ago in 2016.

By 1995 I had my first awakening and by 1996 I had my first contact with a special counsel in the ethereal. The revelation was startling and totally unexpected.

Gurdjieff went on to say, once a man awakens he/she has no other choice but to accept the continuation of shocks multiple times daily or he/she will simply slip back into a state of slumber. So it was I remained awake through the persistent inundation of daily shocks racking my mind and body relentlessly.

Once reaching a state of level four or what is often referred to as having found one's true 'I', finding one's true esssence, one remains a level four and can never again go back in time and sleep.

It wasn't until much later upon joining the Gurdjieff society that I was able able to understand what was happening to me. Through following the 'path' I was able to  assemble all the pieces of the puzzle I had collected through life's journey and hovering over life I was able to see the total picture regarding my life and my awakening.

Although I no longer actively participate in the Gurdjieff Society, I owe much to the Fourth Way regarding a certain peace I have found regarding my life's journey.

As with most organizations I have attended, they eventually found it in their interest to politely suggest I refrain from attending any more meetings since their determination was that they could no longer be of any help to me.

They were correct in there observations and recognized the fact before I did.

Regardless I owe them much and I extend my sincerest gratitude.]]>Tue, 17 Oct 2017 16:38:45 GMThttp://panentheismaddressing.com/personal-journal/returningI have been thinking about this personal journal aspect of the site since December of last year. 

For almost a year now, I have resisted moving forward with the journal since the journal seems a bit egotistical considering the nature of the site but after experiencing a repeat last night of revelations mirroring the process of thought revelations experienced over the last twenty odd years I decided the journal might be of interesting to some people visiting this site and the panentheism.com site.

I've been channeling the third book in the series regarding 'Understanding ...". (the third book in the third trilogy of four books each - the fourth book in each trilogy being a connector book to the next trilogy - hmmm - everything seems to come in threes for me - interesting)

The first book:       Understanding the Whole of Reality or Panentheism
                             Addressing the Whole of Reality (the second title found                                    under free books).
The second book:   Understanding the Journey of a Soul or Panentheism
                             Addressing the Journey of a Soul (the second title found                                   under free books).
The third book:     Understanding God and the Individual or Panentheism 
                            Addressing God and the Individual (to be placed on this                                   site when completed under free books).   

I've been working on the book for almost a year and the book had only reached the point of twenty pages or so. 

I was mired in a muck of stagnation. Nothing was advancing the work beyond the twenty pages.

I was considering discarding the work when I was hit with a overwhelming number of ideas which caused the work to explode into a type of vision wherein the book went from where the book was to an ending of the work some five hundred or so pages later.

I am once again thrown into the vat of excitement and enthusiasm I have experienced over the decades of this task assigned to me by the council on the other side.     

Having been here many times before I have no delusions regarding the tediousness, drudgery, doubts and concerns this project will generate as the work moves forward.]]>Sat, 24 Dec 2016 04:55:56 GMThttp://panentheismaddressing.com/personal-journal/december-23rd-2016 According to Gurdjieff, part of the process of the fourth way, of the process of the individual attaining level four, becoming a level four man, is to constantly be forced along the way by daily shock.

From the age of sixteen, I became acutely social phobic. The daily shocks of this condition were relentless and occurred not only 24/7/365 but occurred recurred over and over again each day.

I became incapacitated and barely functional to the point of not being fulfill my functions as Junior Class President and withdrawing socially.

I did not ask for these daily shocks. They just became a part of my daily existence.

Little did I realize these shocks would lead to my attaining what the Gurdjieff Society calls finding one’s true ‘I’.

The process of finding one’s true ‘I’ is attainable to many seekers. The process is long, difficult and takes a deep commitment.

The process, however, can be shortened if one finds a teacher who has taken the journey.

I am a teacher. I have been a teacher of many things. I can be a teacher of the journey to finding one’s true self.

I have, however, no students, have found no students, and I am not even sure there are such individuals ready to take the journey.

It is due to the rarity of the existence of said students that has led me to believe the only way I can find such students is through the internet which reaches across all nations and continents.

Thus this web site. Thus my stepping onto the path ‘less traveled by’.

]]>Sun, 29 May 2016 02:37:35 GMThttp://panentheismaddressing.com/personal-journal/may-28th-2016Some traveling the path of the fourth way would have you believe there are ‘no teachers’ here, on the path known as the fourth way.

How wrong they are.

If there were no teachers for those traveling the path of the fourth way, there would be no Gurdjieff, no Madam De Salzmann and no Ouspensky, to name but a few - great teachers all.

Each had traveled the path of the fourth way and each having traveled down the endless path of the fourth way had much to share with those who were to follow, had in fact shared much with those who were to follow.

If you have questions, ask and I will, to the best of my ability, answer.

It is the duty of all who travel the path to share their knowledge with those who follow in order to help those who follow advance on their journey to find esoteric knowledge through shared experiences verses random trial and error.

Those that share their experiences are in fact teachers.

I have written some of my experiences in an unpublished volume. A Primer To the Fourth Way - draft, which includes more than a hundred and fifty quotes from Gurdjieff, De Salzmann and Ouspenski, which corroborate what it is I have to share.

This volume is available free in pdf format upon request placed in the comments section of this page.
