Who's Who: The Council of Saturn, The Council of Nine, The Nine

[Verum Occultum]

Yep. I simply think that you can learn a lot by listening to, for example, the opinions of others about you. Usually those opinions are based around judgements that are held as being true. Therefore, you can learn to see that world and incorporate it into your own, and subtly grow and change into something new if there is a desire to do so. That same applies to reading. But there must be the attention given to it, to the incorporation. And I think that you are always listening to the primordial rhythm, to that which was before the octaves, even when reading, because the true being is always silent despite the outer experience.

In my understanding, the touch of mystery is the ultimate touch. Today in the bus I realized that I am the perfect embodiment of all my thoughts thought in this life, or at least I can be all that I have ever thought I could be, even if the ideals are unrealistic and overly magical, especially in the physical life. While we are in this physical existence, it feels like this is the only life we have lived and will ever live. That is why the more spiritual wisdom you gain deep in your heart, the greater this "only life" is. The physical life transforms to the point that when you look at it one beautiful day from the beginning to the end, it will feel like you have journeyed further than ten elders from birth to death. This is difficult to explain verbally. For me the universal covered in vague mystery available for any one unique seeker to interpret, is the ultimate.

I know I am generalizing my subjective point of view. I also think what you (Nicholas) said is great. With this I don't deny anything that you said, but rather color it with odd and yet hopefully familiar shapes.
