The Atom Of Soul

Have you ever wondered how you came into being? How you think what you think? How you act like you act? Why you love who you love? Why you walk the path you walk?

We are all walking mysteries at various stages of development. Human beings are astounding. We can do so many things, more than we think are imaginable.

We can be ground down to almost nothing, get up and regenerate. When we have completed a learning cycle, we get to start another one. Our Soul knows where to go and knows what to do. It has built-in knowledge of our inner workings.

At each cycle, a part of our mystery is resolved, but sometimes we miss the answers and we have to go through the lessons again. When we get to those defining instances, we have to know how to stay there and that’s when life gets tough.

It’s a balancing act to end all balancing acts and definitely not for the acrobatically challenged. The tightrope is only 1/2 inch wide and 20 meters (66 feet) above ground on a platform.

So how do we learn to balance ourselves? In ancient times, people attended Mystery schools. A Mystery school is a university of the Soul; a school for the study of the mysteries of the inner nature of man and of surrounding nature.

By understanding these mysteries, the student perceives his intimate relationship with divinity, and strives through self-discipline and devotion to become at one with his/her inner god.

Mystery schools are a mystery because no one knows where they are located. Sort of like a rave party of today. You know one’s going to happen, you just don’t know where it will happen until it happens.

Historians of the Greek mystery centers marvel at how well the rule of secrecy was kept. This does not pertain to the public aspect, such as the fourteen mile procession along the Sacred Way from Athens to Eleusis in which men, women, and children participated.

The pageantry of the Mystery schools made any student proud to explore and practice ancient wisdom. Some of the best know Greek philosophers where once students of the same Mystery schools, they later oversaw.

What was taught in Mystery schools could be likened to our knowledge of the atom. Who has ever seen the real atom? What microscope has penetrated the secret of its existence?

Today we know more about the atom with its electrons than has been revealed for centuries. Unless we have bionic vision, the atom is invisible to both eye and lens.

Scientists have detected the flash of its track; its "way of light,” through painstaking labor. They have studied this way of light through inference and evidence and it appears that the atom and its components is almost of spiritual origin because no one can put their finger on it.

As with Mystery schools, no one can find the schools themselves, but they know they existed. Through study and devotion, we may glimpse the flash of their track, their way of light.

We can trace the pageantry of the light-bearers from spiritual testimony as they have transmutated the imposing religions and philosophies of the human race.

A physicist can’t touch the physical atom, yet he knows it exists as the foundation of all matter and the student of theosophy can’t show us a Mystery school, yet they knows it exists as the heart or atomic center of the spiritual and intellectual life of the planet.

Today the equivalent of Mystery schools are anywhere you can find knowledge. Real knowledge is no longer a mystery.

While life is a mystery, knowledge has come out of hiding and taken its place on center stage. We are really fortunate to have years of knowledge at our fingertips. We no longer have to tiptoe in the dark to find light.

Knowledge is here in front of us, all around us. We can simply tap a few computer keys and find out anything - and I mean anything. We can improve our lives, our scope of understanding, push the wide screen and reveal our reason for being through technology, especially Google.

Yes, Google, that six-letter word with the funny sound is the new Mystery school. Google's mission statement is, "to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful."

Everything we want to know is in our hands. We have more easily accessible information today than we have ever had and the largess just keeps growing.

We are an information society, pumping information into our mental hard drives desperately looking for more memory.

When megabytes are not enough, we crave gigabytes. When gigabytes are not enough and crave terabytes. When terabytes are not enough, we crave infinabytes (my own word for infinite bytes.)

Some of us can have knowledge without knowingness; pumping words meanings, facts and figures like blood into a lifeless corpse with no Soul. And that’s just it, if we have knowledge but no knowledge of Soul, we have no knowledge.

The ethos of Mystery schools was to demystify life. In order to gain knowledge of Soul, we have to seek it. We have to peel the atom to find its contents. First we have to behold the atom. Grasp it in our hands by reaching for the real knowledge.

Though we have access to knowledge, very few of us are accessing it. We still don’t seem advanced as a human race. We still can’t shake our animal nature. We prey on people and devour them in an instant. We fight each other. Kill others in cold blood.

I think the reason we kill others is because we feel dead inside. First we fight ourselves and kill our own Souls, then strangle any life that anyone else shows because we can’t get our own life back.

Such practice has caused a chasm in our development as spiritual beings. It’s never too late to find knowledge. It’s never too late to find your Soul.

If our physical bodies are rooted in invisible fiery lives, why shouldn’t our human, spiritual, intellectual, and moral bodies have their origin in the spiritual and intellectual fire-mist of the planet?
