In art it is necessary to study ‘occultism’—the hidden side of life. The artist must be a clairvoyant: he must see that which others do not see; he must be a magician: must possess the power to make others see that which they do not themselves see, but which he does see.

P.D. Ouspensky, Tertium Organum

The strangest and most fantastic fact about negative emotions is that people actually worship them.

— P.D. Ouspensky, "In Search of the Miraculous" (Paul H Crompton Ltd., January 1, 2004)) (via Alive on All Channels)

The Middle Ground by Wiiliam Segal

There is a middle ground, a basic Reality embracing self and Self. It may be called my true nature. To discover what prevents me from the experience of it, I have only to look at myself, just as I am.

It is so simple.

At this moment, what is my state?

I let my attention embrace the whole of myself, from the top of the head through the torso, solar plexus, the entire structure.

I am very still in the body. I follow the breath. I watch the movements of thoughts and associations. The feelings become quiet, and the activity in the head diminishes. I am more. I perceive the whole of my world, just as it is. I remain very still, refusing the mind’s inclinations to reach for anything.

Thoughts and feelings come and go like floating clouds.

They are not me.

The experience is at one and the same time, both active and passive. Through sensation of the body, I perceive that I am. Yet, I do not know who or what I am. I am witness to my existence.

I am aware of a feeling which suffuses the interior of myself.

It is a choiceless, an accepting awareness. With it comes a sensation that extends to and envelopes all the parts of the body. I am very still, relating to the silence that is both inside and outside.

Nothing is lacking at this moment.

(William Segal (1904-2000), painter and writer, met P.D. Ouspensky and G.I. Gurdjieff in the 1940s, and later spent long periods at the main Rinzai and Soto Zen monasteries in Japan. He is the author of numerous works, including 'Openings: Collected Writings of William Segal' (1985-1997). This poem is from 'The Middle Ground')

Besides, all evil is relative. Something that is evil at one level of evolution can be good at an earlier stage because it provides the essential stimulus for development. But you want to judge everything by your own standards. You have reached a comparatively high level and so you see what you fight against as evil. Just think of the others, those who are at an earlier stage of development. Do not bar them from the path toward progress and evolution.

Prism

Image generated by the-path-inside using Stable Diffusion. View my other creations here. “Thus space and time, defining everything that we cognize by sensuous means, are in themselves just forms of consciousness, categories of our intellect, the prism through which we regard the world—or in other words space and time do not represent properties of the world, but just properties of our knowledge of the world gained through our sensuous organism. Consequently the world, until by these means we come into relation to it, has neither extension in space nor existence in time; these are properties which we add to it.”

Tarot : The Sun

Allegory of Death As soon as I perceived the Sun, I understood that It, Itself, is the expression of the Fiery Word and the sign of the Emperor.

The great luminary shone with an intense heat upon the large golden heads of sun-flowers.

And I saw a naked boy, whose head was wreathed with roses, galloping on a white horse and waving a bright-red banner.

I shut my eyes for a moment and when I opened them again I saw that each ray of the Sun is the sceptre of the Emperor and bears life. And I saw how under the concentration of these rays the mystic flowers of the waters open and receive the rays into themselves and how all Nature is constantly born from the union of two principles.

Freemason Sufi Druid | Robert Graves

Graves turned down a CBE in 1957 and was among a shortlist of authors considered for the 1962 Nobel Prize in Literature, losing out to John Steinbeck. And while mostly remembered as an author and poet, his contributions to the comparative examination retracing the overlapping commonalites shared and missing links in between Western and Eastern esotericism, hermeticism, and mysticism are not as widely cited or as commonly known as those of Manly P. Hall, Madame Blavatsky, Aleister Crowley, G.I Gurdjieff, P.D Ouspensky, Robert Anton Wilson, Rudolph Steiner, and Alan Watts but nevertheless stand on their own merit.

Why cannot all men develop and become different beings? The answer is very simple. Because they do not want it. Because they do not know about it and will not understand without a long preparation what it means, even if they are told. The chief idea is that in order to become a different being man must want it very much and for a very long time. A passing desire or a vague desire based on dissatisfaction with external conditions will not create a sufficient impulse.

The evolution of man depends on his understanding of what he may get and what he must give for it. If man does not want it, or if he does not want it strongly enough, and does not make necessary efforts, he will never develop. So there is no injustice in this. Why should man have what he does not want? If man were forced to become a different being when he is satisfied with what he is, then this would be injustice.

― P.D. Ouspensky, from The Psychology Of Man's Possible Evolution

Apprends à le voir en toi-même et tu comprendras l'essence infinie, cachée dans toutes les formes illusoires. Comprends que le monde que tu connais n'est qu'un des aspects du monde infini, et les choses et les phénomènes ne sont que des hiéroglyphes d'idées plus profondes.
