Cosmic Way Part 11
Abandon Falsehood and Folly
It begin with a direct challenge: abandon falsehood and folly (ignorance or misguided thinking). It urges people to cast off alien ways, meaning to reject external, corrupt influences that have led humanity astray. This can be interpreted as a call to reject the false systems, ideologies, or practices that distort the truth and keep individuals bound in ignorance.
The passage calls for people to free themselves from the “snares of false reason”, a reminder that false reason leads to error and disarray. The corruption of the current order of things is highlighted as a source of decay, inviting individuals to step away from it.
Understand Your Purpose
The call is then made for individuals to understand who they are and what their purpose is. This speaks to self-realization and understanding one’s place in the larger cosmic order. The idea of seeking Destiny emphasizes the importance of striving toward one’s spiritual goal or higher purpose a key theme in the text.
The passage urges people to put their lives into the service of Cosmic Truth, aligning their actions with the divine will or the Creator’s Purpose. This call to action encourages individuals to focus their lives on a higher goal beyond personal desires and material pursuits.
Join the Community
It invites individuals to join the Community, a collective of those striving for Divine Consciousness and alignment with the Creator’s Purpose. By joining this community, one partakes in a joyful certainty: a deep conviction that the Creator’s Purpose will ultimately be fulfilled.
The Community is presented as the foundation of a new order, a transformation that will replace the old, corrupt systems of the world. It is a vision of spiritual renewal and a rebuilding of the world based on higher consciousness and alignment with divine truth.
Cross the Threshold of Divine Consciousness
The final call is to cross the threshold of Divine Consciousness, which symbolizes the shift from lower consciousness to the awakened state. This is the moment of spiritual ascension, where individuals consciously align with the Creator’s Purpose.
It calls for collective action, urging readers to strive together toward becoming members of the Community of the Awakened, those who are fully aware and in harmony with the divine order.
Spiritual Evolution and Transformation
The path described here isn’t just about individual salvation but also about collective spiritual evolution. By crossing the threshold of Divine Consciousness, individuals are entering a new state of awareness, one that moves beyond mere material existence. This threshold represents a profound shift from blind existence—the sub-man level—toward a higher spiritual realization. It’s the spiritual ascent that defines the journey of higher man, where consciousness itself evolves into alignment with the Creator’s Purpose. The Community symbolizes a group of awakened individuals who have reached this state and who are committed to guiding others along this path.
The Role of Knowledge, Consciousness, and Discipline
The Community is rooted in specific principles:
• Knowledge is about intellectual understanding and the deep study of spiritual teachings that bring one closer to the truth. It involves being receptive to the divine message and applying it practically in life.
• Consciousness refers to the state of awareness that transcends basic intellectual knowledge and taps into the immanent consciousness of the Whole. This state is one where an individual aligns their inner self with the divine, experiencing unity with the Creator’s Purpose.
• Discipline is key in maintaining focus and mastery over oneself. It’s through discipline that one is able to serve the Creator’s Purpose fully and prevent the distractions or temptations of false reason that lead one astray. Discipline allows for self-mastery, which is necessary for fulfilling the higher purpose of service to the Whole.
These three elements—knowledge, consciousness, and discipline—form the foundation for living a divinely aligned life within the Community.
The Call to Join the Community
The summons in this final section is an invitation to become part of a higher collective that strives to embody divine purpose in the world. The Community represents the first step in the evolution of humanity, a group of individuals who have recognized their role in the unfolding cosmic plan. By joining the community, individuals are committing to a life of service to the Creator’s Purpose, with the ultimate goal being self-realization and ascension toward Godhood.
This community is seen not just as a group of people but as a living embodiment of higher consciousness, a collective of individuals who have transcended the falsehoods of the world and are now on the path to becoming one with the Creator.
The Promise of a New Order
The new order of things that is referenced represents the spiritual renewal of humanity. As the current order is seen as corrupt, misguided, and in disarray, the Community is meant to lay the foundation for a world that operates in harmony with divine truth. This vision of the new order is not merely a political or societal restructuring, but a spiritual transformation that aligns all of existence with Cosmic Truth.
It speaks to a universal restoration, where those who follow the path of Divine Consciousness work not only for personal growth but for the betterment of all creation. This includes working against the forces of falsehood, chaos, and corruption, which are seen as the enemies of true progress.
The Threshold of Divine Consciousness
The threshold of Divine Consciousness is pivotal—it represents the point of no return, where individuals must choose whether to continue in ignorance or to embrace their higher spiritual destiny. Those who choose the path of true reason and step into Divine Consciousness are not just following a path to personal enlightenment, but also contributing to the cosmic evolution of the whole.
For the Community of the Awakened, this threshold signifies the full realization of their connection with the Whole—a connection that enables them to transcend material limitations and contribute meaningfully to the fulfillment of the Creator’s Purpose. It is through this higher state of consciousness that individuals find their true mission in life, uniting the material and spiritual realms in a harmonious whole.
The End Goal: Godhood and Immortality
The final goal of this spiritual evolution is the realization of Godhood, which is understood as the ultimate self-realization—becoming one with the Creator. The members of the Community are agents of this evolution, each striving toward this divine ideal. The ultimate ascent on the Path of Life leads to the Self-completion of the Creator, where matter and spirit merge in perfect unity, and the individual attains immortality not through physical means but through their spiritual connection to the Whole.
By joining this community, individuals step into this greater purpose becoming a part of the cosmic unfolding, transcending ordinary existence, and becoming one with the Creator’s eternal plan.
The One Reality and the Creator
It begins with a monistic view of reality. There is only one ultimate, all-encompassing Realitythe Creator, which is both self-created and self-sustaining. This Creator is the origin of everything that exists, both material and spiritual.
Everything in existence (including humans) is part of this singular Creator, making the material universe a manifestation of the Creator’s will. The world, in this view, isn’t random or chaotic; it is organized and purposeful, moving toward the self-realization of the Creator.
Purpose of Creation and the Urge
The Urge is described as a universal force or drive that is inherent in all things. This Urge propels the universe toward higher consciousness and self-realization. In this worldview, everything in existence—from non-living matter to animals and humans—exists to fulfill this Urge.
The One Purpose of creation is self-completion of the Creator through the development of consciousness. The more conscious the entity (whether human, animal, or even inanimate matter) becomes, the closer it moves toward fulfilling the divine will of the Creator.
Hierarchy of Being
It places all living beings in a hierarchy based on their level of consciousness. The lowest level is inanimate matter, and then life emerges from this in various forms, with more complex and conscious beings occupying higher levels. At the top of the hierarchy is “higher man”—humans who have attained Divine Consciousness or full awareness of their role in serving the Creator’s purpose.
Human beings are seen as the most significant parts of this system because they possess the potential for the highest level of consciousness. Higher man is fully aware of their divine purpose and serves the Creator consciously, while lower forms of life act unconsciously or instinctively, contributing to the divine plan in a less direct manner.
Human Purpose and Divine Consciousness
Humans are considered the most important agents of the Creator’s will because they can consciously align themselves with the Creator’s purpose. The process of attaining Divine Consciousness is seen as the most crucial task of humanity. To achieve this, humans must become aware of their true nature, which is a reflection of the Creator, and consciously strive to fulfill their role in the cosmic order.
Conscious evolution is central to human purpose. Humans have the ability to choose their path and contribute to the Creator’s plan consciously, unlike animals or plants, which are driven purely by instinct. Conscious choice allows for the realization of the One Purpose in the world.
Ethics of Life and Death
The philosophy outlined in the text suggests that life forms are ranked by their potential for realizing Divine Consciousness. The higher the potential for consciousness, the more valuable a being is. Therefore, humans are at the top, followed by animals, and then inanimate objects.
Certain actions are deemed good or evil based on their effect on this potential for Divine Consciousness. For instance, corrupting or weakening the human race (especially through racial mixing or spiritual contamination) is considered evil, as it diminishes the potential for achieving higher consciousness.
Life’s value is measured by its contribution to the Creator’s purpose those beings that aid in the spiritual or physical sustenance of humanity (specifically the stock from which the “Awakened Ones” arise) are considered good, and those that hinder this progress are deemed evil.
Purity and the Preservation of Higher Consciousness
It advocates for the preservation of the purity of the human race, specifically the preservation of racial purity to maintain a connection to the highest consciousness. Mixing with other races or groups is seen as harmful because it disrupts the potential for divine consciousness to manifest fully.
This notion of purity is not only biological (genetic), but also spiritual and cultural. It stresses the need for humans to be conscious of their heritage, their place in the cosmic order, and the necessity of maintaining that purity for the advancement of the One Purpose.
Humans are encouraged to prune their stock and selectively breed in order to increase the spiritual and physical strength of future generations, thus ensuring that the “higher man” continues to evolve and fulfill the Creator’s will.
Cosmic Evolution and Self-Consciousness
It views the process of Creation as a progression from blind, unconscious existence toward conscious self-realization. The Urge has moved through many phases of development, and only in the higher forms of life, particularly in humans, does the potential for conscious progress become apparent.
Human beings are at a pivotal moment in cosmic evolution having passed through a stage of unconscious, instinctual existence, they now stand at the threshold of consciously guiding their own evolution and the evolution of the world around them.
It presents a teleological view of evolution, in which all beings and events are moving toward an end goal: the self-realization of the Creator through the awakening of consciousness.
Moral and Spiritual Implications
It implies that there is a moral duty to ensure the advancement of higher consciousness, which involves careful selection of individuals who can contribute to this purpose. The awakened ones, those with Divine Consciousness, are the ideal, and their purpose is to guide the rest of humanity along the path of spiritual evolution.
The moral implications of these beliefs are significant: actions that help or hinder the divine plan—such as spiritual growth, racial purity, and conscious evolution—are viewed as morally right or wrong based on their alignment with the Creator’s purpose.
Imperfect Society and the Path to Perfection
The passage acknowledges that human society, like all things, is imperfect as long as it has not fully realized its purpose. Society, in this sense, is not an isolated or independent entity but is intrinsically connected to the whole of existence. The realization of the One Purpose is a gradual process, and human society can only serve this purpose partially and imperfectly until humanity awakens to its higher calling. The process of awakening is central to the philosophy the idea that human beings must become conscious of their place in the cosmos and their relationship to the Creator.
The Role of Consciousness and Service
The philosophy posits that true progress comes when individuals in society are awakened, meaning they achieve a higher consciousness of their purpose in the world. This higher consciousness leads to more effective service to the Creator’s Purpose. Knowledge, discipline, and service are seen as intertwined; a person must seek knowledge not only for personal enrichment but for a broader collective mission. Discipline is the means through which individuals bring their lives into harmony with the Creator’s Purpose.
In this worldview, self-realization isn’t just about individual fulfillment but about collective fulfillment. Humans are seen as agents of the greater Whole, and their purpose is to serve a higher spiritual order, which manifests in their social and communal roles.
The Centrality of the Family, Academy, Corps of Guardians, Hierarchy and Leadership
The philosophy divides social structure into five core institutions:
• The Family: The family is the foundational institution for the community’s growth and regeneration. It is not just a private entity but a societal unit tasked with ensuring the propagation and nurturing of values that serve the Creator’s Purpose.
• The Academy: The academy represents the pursuit of knowledge and education, specifically framed around the idea of spiritual and intellectual growth that aligns with the community’s mission. Education is not neutral or merely for individual gain; it’s a means to train individuals to be conscious, disciplined, and effective agents of the community.
• The Corps of Guardians: This is the institution responsible for defense—both physical and spiritual. Guardians ensure that the community is protected from any forces (internal or external) that could disrupt its mission or undermine its values.
• The Hierarchy: The hierarchy is the governing institution that organizes and guides the community. It ensures that authority and responsibility are distributed in a way that serves the greater purpose. It’s a system of leadership where individuals rise through the ranks based on their qualities and contributions, always with the goal of serving the greater whole.
·The Leadership: The Leadership is essential for unity and strong stability because it is the way of being with the divine. The folks are united.
Evolving Society
The philosophy insists that society and its institutions must evolve with increasing self-awareness, continually improving both in terms of intellectual and moral development. The community strives to elevate its stock (the qualities of its people) across generations, ensuring that each successive generation is better suited to serve the One Purpose. The idea is that society progresses not just through biological evolution but through a process of conscious evolution, where the community improves its spiritual, intellectual, and moral capacities over time.
Spiritual and Physical Realization
A central tenet of this philosophy is that both spiritual and physical development are necessary for the realization of the Creator’s Purpose. This dual focus is reflected in the community’s efforts to both strengthen the physical health and wellbeing of its members and nurture their spiritual growth. This aligns with the belief that true progress requires a holistic development—intellectual, moral, and physical—that is directed toward a higher, transcendent purpose.
Exclusivity and Purity
The philosophy emphasizes purity, both in terms of physical health (ensuring the community remains healthy) and spiritual integrity (excluding those who threaten the community’s values). There is a focus on maintaining the integrity of the community by excluding those whose actions or beliefs contradict the One Purpose, including those who advocate for values that are seen as harmful to the Creator’s Plan (such as egalitarianism, mixing of stocks, or the denial of purpose in life).
The Five Functions of Society:
1. Defense: This function focuses on both physical protection and the defense of the spiritual and moral integrity of the community. The defense of society involves safeguarding its purity, protecting it from harmful internal or external influences, and ensuring the collective survives and thrives.
2. Guidance of Knowledge, Consciousness, and Service: This function refers to the guidance that society provides in the realms of intellectual growth, spiritual awareness, and collective service. Education and wisdom are key, aiming to foster a deep understanding of the Creator’s Purpose and one’s role in fulfilling that mission.
3. Order and Structure: This function emphasizes the need for a well-organized, structured society. Each individual plays a defined role, and the society is ordered hierarchically to ensure that everyone contributes effectively to the whole. This structure ensures that resources, power, and responsibilities are distributed in a way that maintains social harmony and focuses on the collective mission.
4. Progress: Society must always be in a state of progression both spiritually and physically. This means that institutions, values, and practices must evolve continuously to meet the needs of the community as it strives toward realizing the higher goal, the One Purpose. This function ensures that humanity improves across generations, seeking spiritual, intellectual, and physical development.
5. Regeneration: It specifically refers to the process of renewing and ensuring the future of society. This includes the biological aspect (such as the family and the preservation of healthy physical lines) and the moral and spiritual regeneration of the community. It ensures that the values, purpose, and structure of the society are passed on to future generations.
The Cosmic Way
The Cosmic Way is a philosophical and spiritual worldview that combines aspects of both cosmology and theism and Panentheism idea. It posits that the universe and the divine are interconnected, and it views the universe as an expression of a divine order or purpose and the Creator transcend it. The key elements of Cosmic Way are:
Unity of the Divine and the Universe
The philosophy teaches that the entire cosmos is an emanation or expression of the divine. The universe is not separate from the divine but is imbued with divinity. Everything within the universe—whether physical or spiritual reflects this unity.
The divine is not an external being or entity but is inherent within the cosmos. It is present in all things, and all things are part of the divine. This creates a profound sense of interconnection and oneness with all of existence he also transcend it.
The One Purpose (or Cosmic Purpose)
Central to the philosophy is the idea that the universe has a singular, ultimate purpose or goal a purpose that is divine in nature. This “One Purpose” is the driving force behind the cosmos and human existence also transcend it like Panentheism.
The human role within this larger framework is to align with this purpose and to contribute to its realization. The idea is that humanity must awaken to this purpose and work in service to it, transcending individual or isolated desires.
Self-Realization and Human Evolution
The philosophy posits that the ultimate goal of human beings is self-realization—the realization of one’s full potential in alignment with the cosmic purpose. This means not just individual enlightenment but collective growth toward a higher state of being.
There is a focus on evolutionary progress, both physically and spiritually, where humanity must evolve toward higher forms of consciousness, greater unity, and closer alignment with the cosmic purpose.
4. Emphasis on Knowledge, Discipline, and Service
Knowledge, discipline, and service are central to the philosophy. Knowledge refers to an understanding of the divine order of the universe, while discipline refers to the cultivation of personal and collective strength and self-control in the service of the divine purpose.
Service is not just about helping others in a conventional sense but aligning one’s life with the divine purpose and serving the One Purpose through actions, institutions, and community-building.
Purity of the Human Stock
The philosophy places importance on the purity of the human stock, emphasizing the need for the preservation and elevation of human genetics, culture, and values. This can be interpreted in a biological sense, where the community strives to maintain and improve its genetic and spiritual integrity across generations.
The regeneration of the human race through proper procreation and nurturing is viewed as essential for fulfilling the divine plan, ensuring that each successive generation is stronger, wiser, and more aligned with the divine purpose.
The Role of Society and Institutions
According to the philosophy, society and its institutions should function to support the One Purpose. These institutions include the family, the academy, the corps of guardians (military or defense), and the hierarchy (spiritual leadership and governance) and leadership.
These institutions are intended to guide individuals toward self-realization, protect the community, promote discipline and order, and preserve the purity of the human stock. Each member of society plays a specific role, and the community works as a cohesive unit to fulfill the cosmic mission.
Spirituality and Material Reality
The philosophy does not separate the material from the spiritual but sees the two as intertwined. Material reality is viewed as a reflection of spiritual truths, and both must be cultivated and respected. Human beings are not only to pursue spiritual enlightenment but to engage with the material world in a way that furthers the One Purpose. The Creator also transcend it which make it also Panentheistic.
A Call for Awakening
One of the central tenets of the philosophy is the idea of awakening. Humanity is seen as being in a state of ignorance or blindness, unaware of its true purpose and potential. The goal of the philosophy is for individuals and societies to awaken to their true divine nature and to recognize their role within the cosmic order.
In summary, The Cosmic Way views the universe as a divinely ordered system, where everything including human beings has a role to play in realizing a greater cosmic purpose. It is both a spiritual and philosophical system that calls for personal and collective evolution, knowledge, and service, in harmony with the divine order of the cosmos and the Creator transcend it, like Panentheism.
