Cosmic Way Part 9
The Community of Divine Consciousness
This community is described as the group of the Awakened, those who are Climbers of the Path and have reached a certain level of spiritual understanding. The People of the Rune of Life are those who strive for self-realization and are dedicated to the Path of Life.
The Community is the gathering of individuals who aspire to become People of the Rune. This community serves as a spiritual fellowship where members seek to awaken their consciousness and serve the One True Purpose.
The Four Qualities of the People of the Rune
The People of the Rune are identified by four essential characteristics:
• Knowledge
• Consciousness
• Discipline
• Service
· Unity
Knowledge
Knowledge is described as the understanding of the Truth. It is gained through study and the diligent examination of the teachings of the Cosmotheist Community. This knowledge is not just intellectual, but spiritual, as it aligns the individual with the Creator’s Purpose.
Consciousness
Consciousness refers to an awakened state where the individual goes beyond mere knowledge. It is the realization of the immanent consciousness of the Whole—the recognition that the inner spiritual message aligns with the outer teachings of the Community.
Achieving consciousness requires receptivity, diligence, and a pure motive. It is a deeper state than knowledge, where the individual becomes attuned to the Urge of the Whole and participates in it actively.
Discipline
Discipline is crucial for growth and mastery. It is described as both external and internal:
External discipline comes from outside sources, such as the Community, and it is imposed to guide the individual along the Path.
Internal discipline is developed through personal effort and self-control. This internal discipline results in mastery over the chaotic forces within oneself. Without it, one cannot fully serve the Creator’s Purpose.
The combination of both types of discipline external guidance and internal mastery enables the individual to become aligned with the Path of Life.
Service
Service is inferred as a crucial aspect of the People of the Rune. As the passage mentions, those who have attained knowledge, consciousness, and discipline are able to serve the Creator’s Purpose. This service is both internal mastering one’s own spiritual path and external contributing to the greater community and evolution of the Whole.
And Unity
