                              Beholding

     1.  Where did we come from?
     2.  Why are we here?
     3.  Where do we go when we die?

  Conceive?   If your knowing is based on mere conceptions, you will
  understand little of the universe within you; perhaps a few things
  of a corporeal nature will become apparent to you, but little of a
  more deeper value than the foregoing.

     When we seek to understand the  universe  of  which  we  are  a
  part, we do not do so by any particular learned school of thought,
  i.e.,  the  "evolutionistic  approach";  rather, we wish to form a
  close personal relationship with  those  things  in  the  universe
  that  are mirrored in ourselves, and vice versa.  This is the only
  possible approach of having any intimate  contact  with  the  true
  workings  of cosmical architecture. Moreover, it all hinges on the
  fundamental working, and values, of the human being; the  universe
  cannot  be known by any other means.  It is from the standpoint of
  the "human" being, and thru a "human"  vehicle,  that  any  beings
  are  to  know  of the functioning of a human kind of universe: the
  environment in which humans abide.  This inevitably brings  us  to
  the  focus of the human's constitution; and to the extent that man
  discovers, fathoms, and utilizes his own [higher] constitution--to
  this extent only will he know of the universe within him.  The sad
  thing is that most of humanity's knowledge  concerning  their  own
  makeup,  and the constitution of the human paradigm in general, is
  trite and superficial that it is no wonder that the  populace  can
  do  little  more  than  roll  out of bed after fornication and put
  their pants on.  At best,  some  individuals  may  have  an  acute
  intellectual   understanding   of   nature's  material  facets  of
  creation, and this, without doubt, is almost  always  covered  and
  manipulated by the individual's persona and base desires, so as to
  give  credence to one's ignorant actions, to rationalize the limit
  to which one is able to think, and most of  all,  to  conceal  the
  subliminal fears of not having or being able to fulfill those deep
  inner  impulses for something greater, better--something closer to
  divinity than mere human subsistence.

     Most   assuredly,   man's   supposed    surface    intellectual
  knowledge -- if we may call it even that -- of what he  claims  to
  be  the  universe,  is the very level, expression, of his profound
  ignorance concerning the real nature of things.

     Man  refuses to know himself and then screams to desire to know
  more of the universe, with the  incipient  intention  of  learning
  about  that which befalls and ails him?  That in itself is the gem
  of his incogitancy.

     No!  If you really wish to know--to personally experience  (for
  what  is  the  use  of a knowledge-thing without the experience of
  that which one wishes to know?)--if you really what to learn, thru
  direct personal experience, of the workings of the universe,  then
  it  will  not  be  had  with  any absolute value thru what you can
  "conceive." Whatever realm of infinities that tend to conjure up a
  perceptible, sentient, corporeal universe, it is not  outside  the
  scope  of  a  possible  experience.   There  are infinities within
  infinities, and then  ideations  beyond  infinity  (wheels  within
  wheels)  not  limited  by  infiniteness: an infinity is a relative
  thing -- a conceptual tool -- and gives little  to  indicate   the
  substratum of essence to things [relatively] existent.  To know of
  this -- infinities -- is a conceptual fact and is not difficult to
  entertain.  But (and  you  may  grasp  this  tightly),  infinities
  represent  or mirror  things -- essences -- advenient  and  trans-
  empirical  to  them.  This, my friend, is not conceivable or known
  thru  "concepts."  Here  you  enter  the  domain  of  transcendent
  experience,  that  very  realm  in  "human constitution" spoken of
  earlier that is unrecognized by the masses; hence the ineptness in
  knowing the Real, the Divine, including the extent of the physical
  universe.

     You  see,  the  question is better stated: "What/which infinity
  do you which to know?" Do you remember?--"wheels within wheels."

                    *  *  *   Continued   *  *  *

     I have often spoken of the knowable and the unknowable,  things
  of a creational universe and things beyond/exterior to that.  As I
  stated  earlier,  the domain of any possible knowing is the domain
  of human constitution. What pertains to the  human's  creation  is
  knowable  to  any  human  thru a qualified fully functioning human
  vehicle.  This certainly encompasses the physical universe and all
  things in it (quasars, black matter, etc.), and even perhaps other
  universes, that is, if they are of a creation.  On the other hand,
  the unknowable -- things not  of  creation  --  are  simply  that:
  unknowable.   As such, one has to ascend human form to know things
  not of human's creation, things not pertaining to  creation.   So,
  which wheel within which wheel?

     Evolution  and  creation are terms used to denote the notion of
  unraveling  complicated  systems   of   processes   and   thoughts
  pertaining   to  concepts  of  ideation  and  manifestation  in  a
  physical, material existence.  They are terms  used  to  concepti-
  logistically  orient  a  nascent  reasoning  mind,  so that it may
  coalesce with inner being and have a ground  on  which  to  stand.
  Certainly,  one  process  (creation) may elaborate, embellish, and
  give sustenance to another (evolution); but this says  nothing  of
  the   relationship  of  your  inner  beingness  to  the  personal,
  individual experience of moment to moment  living  existence;  nor
  does  it  reach  the  prolific heights as the motivation to ascend
  beyond becoming: this is  real  existence,  real  knowing  of  the
  nature and purpose of the universe and your (man's) place in it.

     Similarly, chaos and order are  much  needed  conceptual  tools
  that  must  needs  reflect  the  crux of human intellectual under-
  standing, but they are still instruments of a relative nature. One
  could indeed say that any one particular thing  existent  is  both
  simultaneously  a  system of order and chaos; it really depends on
  the standpoint from which one measures, and on the relative nature
  and constitution displayed in the measuring mind.   But  alas,  as
  all  is  not  lost,  there are positions -- unities -- from within
  which one can decisively determine the truer  nature  of  sentient
  things,  standpoints  from  within which one is able to govern the
  usage of sense perception, standpoints that lie  outside  and  are
  unaffected by earthly spheres and mere human subsistence: again we
  employ usage of a higher human constitution.

     Within  the premise of earthly human Epigenesis upheld by every
  star, planet, and galaxy,  and  congenital  in  all  varieties  of
  creatures,  are  immense  grand  principles  which  guide, govern,
  direct, and control the structures and forms to  become  existent.
  This  is  true  order, divine order, of which everything below not
  fully informed by its prevailing archetype would appear to be in a
  state of chaos.  But if this very state were of higher  perfection
  than  is  presently  portrayed,  it  would be a greater order from
  which we ourselves would appear chaotic.  However  (and  this  can
  never  be  disputed  by  any  philosophical or religious school of
  thought), the source, the guiding  archetypes  and  principalities
  of  all  things,  the absolute nature of real Goodness, Truth, and
  Beauty is nothing  less  than  Divine  order.   This  is  mutually
  likened  to  an  apparently ongoing process of unfoldment which we
  humans  qualify  as  evolution -- evolution  thru  creation   (the
  knowable), -- an orderly process  by  which  there  are occasional
  sporadic increments of chaotic manifestation that  are  not  fully
  the  order  of  their truly intended design, for even according to
  the "Divine" Plotinus, corruption too is an inevitable process  in
  our  creation.  Such  is  the  diversification that "touches every
  grade  in  the  hierarchies  of  value  and  existence,  from  the
  super-essential absolute to the infraessential Matter" (W. R. Inge
  in "Plotinus.")--forever causing the noumenal to become phenomenal
  (phenomenal existence is only one aspect of the underlying unity).
  It  is  the  everlasting  actualization  of all possible potential
  becomings toward the realization of Absolute Pure Beingness.

     So, again, the way in which we  view  the  nature  of  material
  things,  weather it be scholastic approaches of creation/evolution
  and conceptual  systems  of  chaos/order,  or  even  more  cryptic
  approaches  along  metaphysical  subtleties, our view of things is
  only reflective to  the  degree  of  maturity  in  our  own  human
  constitution.

                    *  *  *   Continued   *  *  *

     More  penetratively,  ultimate perfection is of a godly status;
  penultimate natures are less godlike.   Order  precedes  disorder;
  chaos lies before godship.  Things as they are now are not what is
  to  be;  the  state of continual becoming is not merely for Being,
  but for  eventual  Isness.  "I  AM  THAT  I  AM"  [is]  transcends
  perfected efflorescence and [is] not even supra-infinity.

     For  us, Reality is eventual.  The actuality at present is just
  the sorrowful material formation  of  one  possible  potentiality.
  Please don't get me wrong; realization is forever forthcoming, but
  one  is  deterred by one's own internal ingredients.  Integrity is
  not pervasive in  our  thinking,  and  this  debars  us  from  all
  possible  true  knowing:  Our experiences are superficial; they do
  not permit the  Good  to  reign.   This  is  lack  of  Beauty  and
  therefore untrueness.

     Please follow further:

     Now,  to  answer  your  questions in my own terms, I would say:
  Where did we come from?...We still do!  All things  are  eternally
  connected; to be severed is to be nonexistent, the black night--it
  is of uncreation. There appears always the brilliant Flame of Life
  and  Light, burning afar that no darkness will ever meet.  Eternal
  and beyond brightness, it is the "One" from which all  things  are
  or  ever  come  to  be.   We  are  sparks of the Flame, minute and
  indiscreet.  Born in darkness, thou coming from the Light, we  are
  dualities  from  which  all  pluralities  arise. Our design is the
  Flame, but our form is our own.  Individuals we may be from moment
  to moment, but our becoming [is] always to Wholeness. Whatever  we
  are,  thou  it  may  be  good,  the Flame is always better, always
  brighter.   We  come  from  an   absolute   source   of   unending
  potentiality,  a  pre-existence  holding  all  structures  of  all
  possible existences within and of itself.  Shall I say more?

     Why are we here?  That there may be Good,  Truth,  and  Beauty;
  that  there may Be -- simply  Be.  To know a thing is to know what
  the thing is not. That a thing should exist implies  a  beholding;
  to  behold  a  thing  is  not  to  behold what it is not, and this
  implies discernment, distinction. Learning: this is of the  nature
  of  delineation,  of  difference,  to  know thereof.  Thus we have
  dualities,  opposites,  and  things   contrary   to   the   things
  themselves.   Herein lies the field of experience: to experience a
  thing, something,  anything.   A  cognitive  existence  (cognitive
  being)  implies  things  to  cogitate--this is existence: the fact
  that something should be.  Experience and being: each is  implicit
  in the other.

     For  example:  Let  us give you, out of Goodness, a thing true,
  and we shall give you the  Beauty  of  Earth.   I  will  give  you
  something else, something more, but for now I will give you Earth.
  Nothing  is nothing and can experience nothing, so, therefore, you
  will be something: you will be human.  You can be something  else,
  something  more,  but for now you are human.  To be a human is, of
  course, not to be  what  a  human  is  not;  so,  already  we  are
  objectifying  a movement of oscillation between a specific line of
  demarcation: what is it to be  a  human  being?  what  is  not  of
  humanness?  and  what  shall we consider humane?  Lest we consider
  morality, integrity, and ethics, we should  not  come  up  with  a
  very fine composition (constitution).

                    *  *  *   Continued   *  *  *

     Earth,  here, is like a school to learn of things pertaining to
  Earth and of humans.  Already there is vacuous discussions on  the
  nature  of  humanity,  but  this  process in itself is the core of
  arousal and stimulation to thinking, reason,  intelligentsia,  and
  to  a  vast  grade  of  numerous  other "experiences" -- including
  corruption -- all positing the learning of the  nature  of  things
  [here]. It is the indisputable process of knowing -- Gnosis: "KNOW
  THY  SELF."  This  is  why,  in  part,  we are here.  (Charlie has
  intimated that you're here because you did not have a Divine Mind;
  you're here to gain Divine Mind.  This can only  be  done  in  the
  third dimension, the dimension of opposites: Earth.)

     Shall  you know more of Earth (dual star systems)? more than of
  humans (Angele)?  Wait! first finish here by being a  full  human,
  more fully the constitution of the human paradigm.  The conceptual
  design  of  the  human  form  is merely its physical constituents,
  whereas  the  direct  cognition  (apprehension)  of  the   human's
  spiritual archetype displays its supersensible constitution -- and
  so also with the Divine-Spiritual nature of the  universe.   These
  loftier   subtle  planes  of  creation  are  open  to  any human's
  inspection and observation, wherein the purpose subsisting  within
  man  and  his  universe  is more fluently ascertainable, nay, more
  personally experienced;  but  such  grandiosity  is  not  possibly
  fathomed  by  our present mundane constitutional makeup: the great
  intellect  and  its  reasoning  mind.  Here  also  is  implied   a
  developmental   process   of   expansion   in  terms  of  physical
  (neurological), spiritual, and moral growth.

     Notwithstanding previous statements concerning the  undermining
  inadequacy  of  the conceptual mechanism in fostering supraliminal
  knowledge of the higher, more pertinent and substantive realms  in
  creation,  let  us  give  some  indications as to the direction in
  which one may follow if such knowledge is  to  be  had.   What  we
  qualify as creation is a spewing forth of Divine-Spiritual essence
  from  the  One  great  Pure  Absolute  Existence. It is "relative"
  existence: the corporeal, remotely tangible  universe.  Evolution,
  you  may  say,  is  the  way  in which the creation unfolds thru a
  physically perceptible reality:  our  physical  world.   Evolution
  also  implies  a  temporal succession of events progressing onward
  for the duration of a  manvantara.   There  is  also  metaphysical
  evolution,   supersensible   evolution,  in  that  there  is  also
  unfoldment  in creation -- subtle creation -- of spiritual realms.
  A fine example of this is the evolutive unfoldment of the  angelic
  kingdom,  just  one of the many kingdoms in supraliminal creation.
  It is these spheres of existence  which  we  say  are  beyond  the
  physical  realm  and not known thru conceptual means; they are not
  bound by space or time (nor can they observed or verified by means
  congruent with the same), for they are the transcendent, spiritual
  worlds giving rise and upholding the spatiotemporal universe  that
  is  perceived  thru the fleshy sense organs. These heavenly abodes
  are the Divine-Spiritual  causes  of  space-time  events.  "Direct
  personal  experience" of these celestial realms, as has often been
  propounded, gives unrelenting knowledge and mastery of nature  and
  of  the  whole  of  creation  (creation  as  we now know it); such
  visionary exploration yields and permits an  empirical  concretion
  of sensorial stimuli for the mind to decipher and fathom.  We must
  reiterate  time  and  again  the  development  of  a  higher human
  constitution.

                    *  *  *   Continued   *  *  *

     There is a golden aura about life, a longing to seek  and  know
  ever  more  about Ultimate Reality.  This is also why we are here.
  It can only be thru immeasurable love that all of the  resplendent
  fathomable  creation  has been offered to man, so that he may know
  and experience the  super-essential  divinities  by  the  effluent
  genesis of an extant universe.

     Finally,  there  is  an  uncanny purposiveness to the scheme of
  predeterminate cosmic architecture; this we call Epigenesis.   So,
  not only do we have "creation" which is the out-breathing of God's
  love  in form, and "evolution" which is His love in direction, but
  we also have "Epigenesis" which gives purpose  and  motivation  to
  the goal to be achieved (Charlie has again intimated that movement
  with  direction  has  motive  behind  it,  and addition-ally, that
  discipline is direction). You see, there is not only unfoldment in
  creation, but perfection thru continual unfoldment: Epigenesis may
  be  said  to  be  the  sempiternally  infinite  upward  spiral  of
  evolution to the perfection of [disciplined] creation.

     Where  do we go when we die?  We are born in three other worlds
  before we come back to this one.  (NB: If reincarnation is  not  a
  salient  feature  in  your appreciation of nature's cycles, then I
  will not here refute your incogitant view of  life.)  These  three
  worlds   of  the  afterdeath  state  are  solely  for  the  cyclic
  reconstruction and regeneration of  the  human's  life-giving  and
  life-sustaining   principles  which  are  experienced  during  his
  numerous sojourns to Earth between birth and death,  and  eventual
  rebirth,  so  that  the human comes ever closer to divinityship by
  progressive incremental  development  thru  the  grand  scheme  of
  evolution.   And  thru  these  persistent  incarnations in a human
  vehicle, the slumbering  soul-powers  of  human  quintessence  are
  gradually  awakened  to the fiery enlightenment of the One Eternal
  Flame.  As such, each Earth life and  preceding  death  state  are
  irrefragable  moments in eternity adding up to an inevitable glory
  of  life -- real life.  Consequently,  there is much to be said --
  and much more to be desired -- about the preponderance of activity
  of each Earth life, and more specifically, the individual  actions
  of  the  human's  choice and responsibility in either promoting or
  inhibiting  the  intended  efflorescence  of  his   inner   divine
  livingness;  hence  the  laws of karma.  (Because we are unable to
  "see" the ethereal causes that lie behind the physical effects  of
  our daily happenings and living patterns, we, in our unenlightened
  busyness, attribute no direct plausible causes to the more serious
  and  permanent dilemmas that befall our bemoaning society; nor can
  we -- or will we -- "see," out of this same  ignorance,  the  vast
  shifting tumultuousness of Nature's forces and her indelible power
  to  affect  instantaneous changes in the structure and form of the
  human's  physical  environment.    Nature   merely   restores   to
  equilibrium  what man, from his incessant thoughtlessness and lack
  of proper choice, puts out  of  balance.   Moreover,  Charlie  has
  finally  suggested  that  humans  are  supposed  to live a planned
  existence, as in one's own conscious planning.   Conscious  action
  in  moment to moment reality is in tune with cosmic existence, and
  this is "Dharma." Conscious action IS Dharma,  and  this  is  best
  understood in terms of one's own conduct.  If one's conduct is not
  natural  --  in  tune  with  Natural Law -- then one is not living
  one's "duty," or Dharma, and this will incur Karma.)

     To continue, the three worlds of  the  afterdeath  states  are,
  therefore,    respective    and   more   penetrating   states   of
  recapitulation of the previous life just gone thru; this of itself
  is the only real preparation for a new life.  Is there  any  doubt
  that  the cycles governing the human's soul-evolution (Epigenesis)
  should be any different in nature  than  the  evolutionary  cycles
  governing everything else in conceivable creation?

     I  have no personal experience in this area (afterdeath states)
  except what is ardently understood in the schools of Arcane Wisdom
  and in the esoteric symbolism ensconced in  various  ancient,  and
  often  sacred  scriptures.   Although  codified  and  not  without
  perplexing ambiguity, there is also much modern occult  literature
  available  to  the  curious seeker, who deems himself an aspirant,
  that will give rarefied descriptions  of  the  various  afterdeath
  states;  and  most of this plethora of literature is in great need
  of further  interpretation,  critique, and commentary -- hopefully
  though -- thru  observation and investigation  based  on a pupil's
  direct  personal  experience  of  the   interlucent,   chromogenic
  spiritual  realms:  knowledge  such  as is based on superempirical
  beholding.

                    *  *  *   Continued   *  *  *

     I  will  close  with a private letter (recorded on video) to my
  Grandmother on the subject of death, nay, real [divine] life.

                         *  *  *  *  *  *  *

    "You see, Grandmother, things in life don't always  come
    to  us  as  an  "understanding."  They  come to us as an
    "experience," and when we're deep in --  entrenched  and
    involved  --  in those experiences, we really don't know
    what we're going thru:  we're  in  the  mists  of  God's
    creation  and we don't know why!  We're here on Earth to
    learn the  many  wonders  of  God's  splendor,  but  the
    understanding  doesn't  really come until the life after
    life -- between death and rebirth, -- then  we  have  an
    understanding  of  all  those  beautiful  things that we
    experienced on God's planet.  So when we  live  here  on
    Earth  we  come  to  realize that understanding we never
    find, but in reality we experience all that  God  offers
    us.

    "In the life between death and rebirth, then we reap the
    under-standing  of the lessons God wishes us to learn --
    but it is only then.  And it is up to us to  understand,
    during  our  life  in  the  after-world,  what it is God
    really wanted us to know.

    "Yes, there's a lot of agony -- there's a  lot  of  pain
    --  and  thru that agony and pain we will learn what God
    wants us to know. We will grow up  to  be  the  kind  of
    people that He really wants us to be.

    "So,  it  IS  important  that we try to live life to its
    fullest extreme, try to have all  the  experiences  that
    are  meant for us. Even though we really don't know what
    they are, we have to live thru it all with  some  slight
    memory  in the back of our mind that these are things we
    have to experience,  these  are  things  which  we  must
    understand  in this life, which will be made clear to us
    after we die.

    "We mustn't avoid any of these experiences; and as  long
    as we are living here in life on Earth, as long as we're
    alive,  then that is a sign that there is more for us to
    learn -- much more! And until  the  time  comes  of  our
    passing,  there  is  a  constant  learning,  a  constant
    experience of something in life to which  we  may  never
    really understand while we're alive; but when we die, we
    shall  reap  all  the  understanding  of our experiences
    during our Earth life -- each particular Earth life, the
    one  just  gone  thru  specifically.    This   is   very
    important!

    "There's  a  lot  of  work for us on the other side; and
    the more we could know that now --  the  more  we  could
    realize  that now --the more that work on the other side
    will be easy for us.

    "Dying is  but  a  greater  life!   So  it's  important,
    Grandmother,  that  you  know these things, so that when
    you're on the other  side,  you  come  to  realize  that
    you're  in  a greater part of life...and THERE you shall
    have all of the understanding that you are lacking while
    you were alive.

    "This, Grandmother, I want you  to  take  with  you,  so
    that  you  may realize: all of the pain that you've gone
    thru in your life was for a VERY IMPORTANT  reason.   We
    don't  always  under-stand  that; we probably never will
    while we're alive -- but when we're  "there,"  it'll  be
    very clear to you.

    "Trust  me,  Grandmother,  this I know deep in my heart,
    and it's about the only way  I  can  show  my  love  for
    you...!
