HOLISTIC EDUCATION (III) CARVER, LOVE AND CREATIVITY

______________________________________________________________________________Everything written below is from the point of view of our personal cosmology. It is notintended to be true for anyone else reading it, and we are most certainly not attempting toconvince the reader of anything whatsoever. Even if we desired to do so, it is impossible;because one person can never transfer his understanding to another! It is for you to proveor disprove according to your ability to expand your consciousness. You are a Microcosm,created to view the Cosmos from your own unique point of view; therefore, if you wish toexperience the indescribably joy and happiness of knowing who you are, where you camefrom, and where you are going, you must develop your personal cosmology from scratch tothe level of awareness where you feel the wondrous bliss of being at One with TheConsciousness of Energy! Remember, ‘right’ and ‘wrong’ are dual aspects of the samething! Arguing between them is useless, because one cannot exist without the other; it is foryou to choose which side you will physically realize and which side you will leaveunfulfilled in your unconscious mind where it must eternally serve as a reference! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

THE LAW OF GENDER-CONDITIONED INTERACTION (THE LAW OF VIBRATION) (THE LAW OF LOVE)

The fundamental creative principle, which brought the Cosmos into being, is thePrinciple of the Harmonically Balanced, and Octave Structured, interchange ofLove-Energy between Dual-sexed pairs, through giving and re-giving, that isperfectly modeled by pendulum oscillation and the wave-motion of light.

THE COSMOLOGY OF GEORGE WASHINGTON CARVER

It is only possible to release the awesome cosmic creative powers, which arelatent in the microcosmic constitution of the world’s children, by thoroughlyeducating them physically, mentally, and spiritually. The fundamentalprinciples which are required to educate them physically, have been thoroughlyworked out by the Buddhists and have been in development for nearly 2,500 years. They are now being wonderfully applied at the Shaolin Temple in New York bySifu Shi Yang Ming, who is a very highly evolved master of the martial arts. He

-2-

founded the Shaolin Temple in 1994 after defecting from China for just thatpurpose! Therefore, everything which is required to develop a ‘practical’ and‘optimized’ system of physical education for our children is readily available.

Educating our children mentally has been a primary focus of mankind sincephysical science has become dominant. For example, thousands of mathematics,physics, and chemistry books have been written and revised in an attempt to makethe study of these subjects more accessible to the average student. In addition,many studies have been conducted with the goal of finding new ways to improvethe effectiveness of our teachers and upgrade the quality of our schools. Yet, itseems that some of most promising discoveries and recommendations have neverbeen actively applied. We have already make great progress toward developingan optimized approach to educating our children mentally.

Only one very important question remains to be answered: “How are we going todevelop an optimum system of educating our children spiritually?” The wordSPIRIT has been commonly used throughout history by any and everybodyinvolved in social, philosophical, and religious matters. Yet, from our point ofview at least, it appears that virtually nobody completely comprehends what theword SPIRIT really means, let only being able to grasp its very deep implications! We decided that the best approach to begin obtaining a precise understanding ofwhat is meant by SPIRIT, is to study the philosophy and cosmology of a highlycreative person whose life was deeply inspired and guided by that which hasalways been commonly called THE SPIRIT. We could have chosen none betterthan George Washington Carver.

Occasionally, a genius, with an expanded consciousness, incarnates into theworld in order to evolve by learning from the wonderful experience ofcontributing to the overall physical, mental, and spiritual welfare of Mankindon Earth as a whole. Such a genius makes his own way and fulfills hisdestiny under his own power. A superb example of this was presented tomankind in the person of George Washington Carver who believed that hislife’s work had been thoroughly planned out before he was born! (Wesuggest here that it was his ‘Spirit’ who did the planning.)

-3-

(1) He was born as a slave in 1864.

(2) He was stolen by raiders when he was only a few months old.

(3) He was ransomed for a race horse.

(4) He became the slave of Moses Carver, a German immigrant.

(5) Mr. and Mrs. Carter served as good parents for him and educated him alongwith their children for ten years. They taught him basic reading, writing, and arithmetic and grounded him ethnically with the work ethic. It is while growingup with them that he built a greenhouse in the woods.

(6) He set out penniless to support himself and get an education.

(7) He went to grade school in Missouri and Kansas.

(8) He worked his way through high school in Minneapolis.

(9) He attended Simpson College.

(10) He was admitted to Iowa State in 1890 and earned a Master’s Degree there in1896.

(11) He went to Tuskegee Institute in 1896 immediately after graduating fromIowa State.

(12) He obtained an honorary Ph.D. in 1928.

(13) He developed some 300 synthetic products from peanuts.

(14) He developed 118 products from the sweet potato.

(15) He developed synthetic marble from wood shavings, pigments from clays,and fertilizers from swamps.

(16) He was elected to the Royal Society of Arts.

-4-

(17) He received the Spingarn metal and the Roosevelt metal.

(18) He started a research foundation with his life’s savings of 33,000 dollars.

(19) His birthplace was made a national monument in July 1953.

(20) He was called the Black Leonardo.

There are several events in his life which suggest something about the nature of aperson’s spirit. First, he was born as a slave during a time when education forBlack People was considered to be a bad idea and quite undesirable! Therefore,the raiders who stole him from a plantation and sold him (by accident?) to aGerman family which was sufficiently humane to love him enough and educatehim in reading, writing and arithmetic while bringing him up with their ownchildren. Was this an accident, or planned destiny?

One of the most important discoveries which we made, while developing ourpersonal cosmology, is that the proper holistic education, of each and everychild, should begin before birth; and, this is most important: their wonderfulmothers should be among the highest educated people in world, physically,mentally, and spiritually! However, for those children who are denied thisopportunity, the next best thing is to give them as much education as possiblebefore they reach the age of seven years! If this process is properly completed, thechildren’s SPIRITS will be able to inspire and direct them toward obtaining all ofthe additional education which they need to make their contributions towardexpanding the consciousness of mankind as a whole.

Therefore, we suggest that it was THE SPIRIT of George Washington Carverwho inspired him to get close to nature by building a greenhouse in the woodsbefore he was ten years old. Later in his life he made the following statementswhich can only come from someone who is experiencing the bliss of Oneness withall of life. This is possible only for those children whose spiritual aspirations havenot been closed down by negative programming during their early childhood yearsand who are joyfully living, learning, and expanding their cosmic awarenessunder the direct guidance and deep inspiration of their SPIRITS. GeorgeWashington Carver verified this when he said:

-5-

I learn what I know by watching and loving everything.

Nature is the greatest teacher and I learn from her best when others are asleep. In the still dark hours before sunrise God tells me of the plans I am to fulfill.

When I touch that flower, I am touching infinity. It existed long before therewere humans on this earth, and will continue to exist for millions of years tocome. Through the flower I talk to the infinite which is only a silent force.

Nothing is more beautiful than the loveliness of the woods before sunrise.

His spiritual attunement with nature, and all of her indescribably beautifulexpressions through flowers, was so intense that it enticed their ethereal essencesto condense into glorious fairy-like forms before him. They joyfully embracedhim, danced gleefully around him, and aroused within his mind, heart, and soulprofound emotions of Cosmic Love so deep, that he was enfolded with theawesome bliss of being at One with all things! He was, most definitely, living inHeaven on Earth as his consciousness was increasingly expanding throughouthis life.

This is why George Washington Carver closed and locked the doors of hislaboratory so that he would not be disturbed while creatively communicating with nature, and carrying out the historic experiments, which led to thedevelopment of so many wonderful products to help people live heathier, happier,and more fruitful lives.

The distinguished philosopher and Spiritual Master, Omraam Mikhael Aivanhov(1900 - 1986) certainly empathized with every aspect of George WashingtonCarver’s life. When discussing the beauty of a rose he said:

When you look at a rose, you immediately sense the presence of a reality that isso poetic that you actually feel something within you changing and beingtransformed. Every sensation, however slight, every sentiment, howeverimperceptible, changes something in the depth of your being. When you gaze ata flower it speaks to you with the language of its color, form, and scent; it opensa passage through your subtle bodies until it reaches your soul and awakens init the forms, colors, and perfumes which correspond to it.

EDUCATION, AWARENESS AND THE LANGUAGE OF LIGHT Education is the key to unlock the golden door of freedom. George Washington Carver

A child who is born in a society, no matter how primitive, is unable to adapt tothat society, let alone survive in it, if he, or she, does not learn to communicate!Therefore, both human children as well as the offspring of every specie of animal,are genetically programmed with the potential to develop minimumcommunication requirements. There is at least one instance where twins weredenied the opportunity to develop language skills by direct interaction with theirparents; consequently, they created their own language which only they couldunderstand!

As we continued to develop more and more circumstantial evidence for theexistence of the BOUNDLESS (NAMELESS) COSMIC ESSENCE (BCE)whose AWARENESS is within all things centering them and around all thingsenfolding them, who is incomprehensible and forever unperceivable, who extendsinfinitely beyond boundless infinity itself, and of whom every person’s SPIRIT isa profoundly intimate part, we were forced to ask ourselves a very importantquestion: “How can we help our children expand their consciousness andawareness to levels high enough to enable them to unfold the awesome powers of the Cosmos, which lie latent within themselves; consciouslycommunicate with their personal SPIRITS, with the infinity of the Spirits ofMan embodied in the Consciousness of Energy, and ultimately with BCE?”

As we lift up our voices with endless praise to the beauty, wonder, and glory ofour Wonderful Cosmos, we are very pleased to announce, in all humility, that wehave been able to synthesize the LANGUAGE OF LIGHT by marrying theOCTAVE OF COSMIC MUSIC with the wonderful descriptive power of UNIVERSAL GEOMETRICAL MATHEMATICS! After the children of theworld have been taught this language, as a major part of their Holistic Education,they will be able to begin communicating with GOD THE COSMOS throughNATURE; and, finally, become ONE with THE CONSCIOUSNESS OFENERGY through which BCE PROJECTED THEIR INDIVIDUAL MINDSinto existence.

HATE, FEAR, LOVE, AND HAPPINESS

Fear of something is at the root of hate for others, and hate within will eventually destroy the later. George Washington Carver

O Soul, seeking, seeking happiness, rushing across continents and oceans andback again trying to catch it; testing out and giving up diversions and pleasuresand positions, dost thou not know where to find it?

Happiness is naught but freedom from mistaken fears!

And thy fears, dear soul, grow from condemnation of desires deep down withinthee which thou hast not understood!

O know thyself: There is naught in thee to be condemned; thou art made by theONE God in His own likeness; by Him who did see all that He made; whodeclared everything to be “VERY GOOD,” and who, after the uplifting in Eden,proclaimed thee to be “as one of US!”

Know thyself as thou art deep down in thy heart.

For the Truth within thee shall free thee of fear.

And in freedom, there is happiness. Brown Landone

Indeed, there are many pearls of truth hidden in these two quotes: It is impossibleto fear that which you know, understand, and love. You can only come to knowsomething by holistically learning everything you can about it; and, you canonly come to really understand something after you have deeply meditatedupon your knowledge of it, in consultation with your Spirit, while sharingexperiences with it where possible; then, finally, you will joyfully shower itwith all of your love because you have fully realized that it is intimately a partof yourself!

-8-

Therefore, no child is truly educated holistically until after they have come toknow themselves as Microcosms (Miniature Gods ), realized that all of the powersof the Cosmos are potentially within themselves, and that they are Beacons soPowerful that they are always striving to give far more love and sustenance thanthey receive!

How far you go in life depends on your being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving and tolerant of theweak and strong. Because someday in your life you will have been all of these. George Washington Carver

You should not only be tender with the young, you should love them with all ofyour heart, encourage their every success, help them to learn wonderful lessons oflife from their failures, and, most of all, strive relentless to educate themholistically!

Being compassionate, understanding, and respectful when interacting with theaged cannot be over-emphasized! Many of them are filled with knowledge,wisdom, and priceless understanding that can only be gained by learning throughthe agony and the ecstacy of a lifetime of experience. All children who are beingholistically educated should treasure every opportunity that they have to sit downwith an elderly person and listen to them tell the story of their life, cry with themwhen they speak of sad occurrences, from which they learned great lessons, andlaugh and rejoice with them when they share their glorious “EUREKA” moments!

Expanding their consciousnesses by sharing many delightful hours conversingwith their grandparents and other enlightened elderly friends, is a very importantpart of holistically educating our children. At the same time, it gives new, andspecial meaning to the lives of the elderly and, most important, it also greatlyaccelerates the expansion of their consciousnesses! Remember, Heaven wasdefined by Christ as the Expansion of Consciousness. After our dream ofdeveloping holistic education comes true, all retirement homes will be filled withchildren for several hours each day.

All elderly persons crave to be loved and embraced, especially by a child! In thispresent world, where great value is placed on perishable physical things, and theonly true religion is materialism, a priceless, and deeply sincere hug, given by a

-9-

person whose heart knows the profound depths of Cosmic Love, is rarelyencountered by the elderly, even when they are living together in retirementhomes! However, on those rare occasions when they do encounter such anembrace, their spirits reach out and return the love they receive in ways whichthose, whose hearts are enslaved by materialism, can never comprehend! I love to think of nature as an unlimited broadcasting station, through whichGod speaks to us every hour, if we will only tune in. George Washington Carver

The child’s ability to communicate with nature is strongly dependent upon theextent to which they have been negatively programmed during the first two yearsof their life. For example, occasionally certain children, between the ages of oneand three years, begin to talk and play with ‘invisible’ friends! Parents, who donot see what their child is observing, or empathize with the child, at least to theextent of ‘playing’ along, often do great damage to the child’s psyche byattempting to convince them that they are just ‘imagining’ things, or worst,chastising them! We assure you that the beautiful ‘subtle’ expressions of lifeenergy are far more ethereally diverse than anyone, whose consciousness remainsat the materialistic level, can ever have access to! Once the students have been holistically taught the LANGUAGE OF LIGHTthey will gradually begin to expand their ability to tune into increasingly higherfrequencies of nature’s unlimited broadcasting station.

I wanted to know the name of every stone and flower and insect and bird andbeast. I wanted to know where it got its color, where it got its life; but, there wasno one to tell me. George Washington Carver

Every child who comes into our world, is strongly inspired by their Spirits,beginning at birth, to learn all about nature with which they are intimatelyconnected. Indeed, without thorough holistic learning, the purpose for which theywere created can never be fulfilled; but then, what is their purpose?

The purpose of Man is to evolve and joyously expand the consciousness of THECOSMIC ESSENCE, beginning at the animal and plant level of awareness,

-10-

and forever projecting forward into eternity by praising, honoring, andglorifying the awesome wonders of Its creations. Since Man can never trulypraise and glorify that which he does not comprehend and understand, to fulfilltheir divine purpose they must spiritually uplift themselves through the agonyand the ecstacy of many lifetimes of experience.

Indeed, this must be done with a deep devotion to ‘the love of pure holisticlearning’ while thinking, concentrating, and meditating deeply upon thatlearning, in consultation with their Spirits, for the purpose of earning thepriceless jewels of eternally expanding knowledge, profound wisdom, and deepunderstanding. These things are the prerequisites for awakening their CosmicAwareness, and qualifying themselves to experience the ecstatic joy of beingco-creator with THE COSMIC ESSENCE, eternally at One with It, andintellectually and emotionally sharing the awesome bliss of being centered andenfolded in Its boundless Light and Love!

PLANT AND ANIMAL TEACHERS OF MAN

When you give your sincere and devoted love to any living thing, it will returnyour love by making you One with Itself. Please meditate upon the followingheart-warming story: The sensitive plant of northern climates will, as you know, instantly roll up itsleaves if you but touch them. It does this to protect itself; it fears that you intendto harm it, pick it off, or crush it! It felt this fear long before man lived on earth! Such action is due to instinctive impulse with no proof at all of individual love!

But higher orders of sensitive plants, such as those which grow in Panama,roll up their leaves without being touched. Even when an animal goes byseveral feet away.

And now note the miracle of individual love of these plants for some people, andtheir trust in them!

One scientist, experimenting with these plants in Panama, became particularlyinterested in one large plant.

-11-

Every time he passed he touched the tip of a leaf or two, because it amazed him tosee how quickly the leaves would roll up to draw away from his touch.

But after some weeks, this particular plant seemed to know that he never didanything to harm it. So it no longer feared him, and when he touched the tipsof any of its leaves, they no longer rolled up!

This was amazing; this plant had given up a habit which was centuries old. Thiswas so amazing that he took other scientists out to see the plant!

Then came a more astounding discovery! Whenever any stranger touched thetip of even one leaf, the plant would roll up its leaves, as all sensitive plantshave done for ages.

Test after test proved that when anyone else, stranger to the plant, touched a leaf,all the leaves rolled up! But when the scientist who was a friend of the planttouched it, it did not roll up its leaves. It knew that the friend loved it; and ithad learned to respond in love to the friend who would do it no harm.

Love is the crowning glory of everything which is involved in giving the childrenof the world a profound Holistic Education. Promptly, after a child is born andplaced in the arms of their Mothers, their Spirits immediately begin to intenselyinspire them to become One in Love and Harmony with Nature! This is why allnormal children, whose inner spiritual light has not been dimmed by religiousdogma, materialism, and parental ignorance, strongly desire to have animals aspets. Indeed, the pet dog was created specifically by nature to serve as a lovingcompanion to the young child as a puppy, and then to grow up and mature alongside the child.

My experience with growing up on a farm with my little dog ‘Tricksy’ was thehighlight of my life. During the 1940s, we were still cultivating our corn andcotton with horse and mule drawn plows. I also had a beautiful horse, Nellie, who pulled the plow down the rows of corn as I struggled to control it withTricksy always following close behind. His little bed was underneath our wood-fired kitchen stove, not far from the door which led out into the yard. After wehad our breakfast, and were ready to go into the fields to work, as soon as Iopened the door, he rushed out between my legs and was down the steps before I

-12-

had closed the door behind us!

Rain, shine, sleet, or snow; he was always there with me! I remember especiallythose times when the sun was very hot! My clothes became so drenched withsweat it seemed that they had been dipped into a pail of water; likewise, his entirebody was wet all over and I could see the sweat dropping off. Occasionally, hewould wallow in the sand in order to get some relief, but no matter what, he neverleft my side for an instant! He taught me the real meaning of love, loyalty, andfaithfulness.

When I became so tired that I could hardly go on, I stopped to rest for awhile bysitting beneath a large and very beautiful tree that lived in the middle of the cornfield. As soon as I did this, he would rush over and put his head in my lap andclose his eyes. It was especially during those times that I realized how much heloved me; and that love extended to all of the wonderful living things around us.

My horse, Nellie, was also an intimate part of all of this. She, likewise sweatedgreatly in the hot sun, and since she was doing the great majority of the work bypulling the plow, I really empathized deeply with her. Sometime she too reached apoint where she wanted to take a break and, if possible go home and she told meso by turning around and saying ‘he-haw’! Of course, I took her with me when Iset beneath the tree with Tricksy. Even now, when I dream about that wonderfultime in my life, I am amazed at how infrequently Nellie asked to rest: it was asthough she was giving her all and asked to rest only when she absolutely neededit! The very important fact is, we three were intimately communicating with eachother; we understood each other, and, most of all, we loved each other!

It would require an entire book, and perhaps much more, to tell the complete storyof the many wonderful adventures we had; indeed, they were filled with both joyand sadness, but now I realize that without this duality of experience, I wouldnever have been able to reach the glorious state of Cosmic Love, Joy, and SpiritualFulfillment that I know today!

However, there are two experiences I had with my animal family which indicatethat we have spiritual connections that reach far beyond our physical ones: Thisexperience happened when I was less than eight years old and Tricksy was not yetborn; however, there were two dogs in the family. One day, my father’s youngest

-13-

sister was visiting us and she had come with her beautiful twin daughters. Afterthe visit was over, the twins, who had just learned how to walk, were led pass thetwo dogs while holding hands with their mother. Suddenly, the two dogs began tohowl like wolves!

We could not understand why they were acting up so because this was the firsttime they had ever howled and they had always been around many people. Myaunt, with her twins, then proceeded to my grandmother’s house which was themain farmhouse. About an hour later, we saw my aunt and grandmother runningout of the house frantically screaming for help! It turned out that one of the twinshad set herself afire while playing and burned to death! When we heard this, weknew right away that the dogs had predicted her death; and there was no doubtabout this in the minds of those who had witnessed this event!

The second event happened during the last day of Tricksy’s life. As I was hitchingmy tractor to a special plow that I was going to use for tilling the field that day,Tricksy suddenly started jumping all over me, interfering with my efforts toconnect the plow! In the entire nine years of his life, He had never done thisbefore, ever! He always waited until I had finished what I was doing, and then hewould come up and ask for a few pats on his head; however, this day hecompletely broke away from his normal pattern of behavior. After noting hispersistence, I turned around and gave him a few pats and a big hug, then I got onthe tractor and proceeded to work in the field. Now in all of the time we weretogether, he had never left my side, but for some strange reason, he not only leftme, he attempted to cross a main highway that ran pass our farm! While doing so,he was hit by a car and killed! This was the first, and the last time that he had evercrossed that highway without me!

Needless to say, I was very upset at his lost and cried for nearly a week. I dug agrave for his body beneath our favorite pecan tree so that I would always knowwhere his body was. I could not have mourned more if I had lost a sister or a brother! Nobody can ever convince me that Tricksy did not know he was going todie and that while he was jumping up and down on me, he was trying to saygoodbye! There is no doubt in my mind that his time had come and his Spirit hadinspired him to say goodbye and cross that highway! This was communicationwith nature in a very big way!

-14-

This was the first, and most important experience in my life which proved to mebeyond the shadow of a doubt that not only do we have Spirits, but our belovedcats and dogs, as well all other animals, have spirits! But what is more, mybeloved soulmate and I have had many wonderful experiences of this kind notonly with other people, but also with both the animal and the plant kingdoms!

This is the only way in which great spiritual knowledge, wisdom, andunderstanding can be obtained! Since physical scientific experiments, as they aredefined today, can only be carried out on physical things, only spiritual scientificexperiments, can be carried out on spiritual things! This is why physical sciencecan never be used as a tool to study spiritual science. Therefore, to learn about thewonderful Causal World of the Spirit, Spiritual Science must be regenerated. It isto reach this goal, that our entire life’s work has been dedicated!

It is very important realize the power and importance of the ‘giving and re-giving’aspect of the third law. If someone is gracious enough to give you a job withwhich you can make an excellent living, then how are you going to repay thiskindness in keeping with the Great Law of Love? You are going to strive with allof your might to carry out your job better than anybody who has held it before. Inother words, you are going to give back much more than you received! First youmust have faith that you can do it, then you must ‘believe’ that you can do itbetter than anybody else! Now how were these two words, ‘faith’ and ‘belief’used by Christ in the Bible?

In Matthew 21:21, we read the following: “If ye have FAITH, and doubt not—ye shall say unto this mountain, be thou removed, and----it shall be done.”

In Mark 11:24, we read the following: “What things soever ye desire, when yepray, BELIEVE that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.”

Since Christ said these words more than 2000 years ago, Christians have beenbelieving with their minds for centuries! Millions of souls have knelt in prayer,earnestly asking for things and attainments they desired! Hundreds of thousandshave mentally believed that God would answer their prayers. Yet in manythousands of cases, their prayers have not been answered.

-15-

Has it been God, who had failed? Or have the failures been due to our kind ofmental belief and faith? For as long as anyone can remember, most ministers andspiritual teachers have been telling their students that IF they but mentally affirmwhat they want, and believe with all of their hearts and minds, they shall receivewhat they ask for.

Now think about this for a moment, it is, indeed, asking God to give yousomething for nothing! When you observe the lives of all of natures creatures,there has never been a single instance when any of them have obtained their foodby DOING NOTHING but simply wishing for it, or praying for it! The onlyreason why America today is in such great debt, and now struggling to find waysto just keep paying off the interest on it, is because her government and people have led the world in attempting to get everything for virtually nothing! TheCAUSE of all of this is the relentless violation of the most powerful aspect of theGreat Law of Love which is the PRINCIPLE OF GIVING AND RE-GIVING!

This means, of course that America, like all other nations in history, have alwaystaken from nature far more than they have given back. The landmass of America,in particular, was ruthlessly taken from the American Indians, utilizing acts ofhorrific violence which decimated their population, destroyed their culture,disrupted the wonderful natural balance, that had been established between themand nature, by killing nearly all of the buffalo and cutting down over 95% of theoriginal forest. In return, they have given back to the American Indians nothingwhich compares, even microscopically, with what was taken.

Now we hear contradictory voices saying: “well, we have been educating theAmerican Indians, we have given them our technology, and most of all, we havegiven them our Christian Religion! But from their point of view, our technology,has served only to further isolate them from their natural environment, which hadpreviously fulfilled all of their needs, physically, mentally, and spiritually. Ourreligion has made them deaf to the sweet and subtle voices of nature and they canno longer tune in, mentally and spiritually, to nature’s unlimited broadcastingstation through which God once spoke to them every hour.

Kinship with all creatures of the earth, sky, and water, was a real and activeprinciple. For the animal and bird world there existed a brotherly feeling thatkept the Lakota safe among them and so close did some of the Lakotas come to

-16-

their feathered and furred friends that in true brotherhood they spoke acommon tongue.

The old Lakota was wise, He knew that man’s heart away from nature becomeshard; he knew that lack of respect for growing, living things soon led to lack ofrespect for humans too. So he kept his youth close to its softening influence.

Chief Luther Standing Bear(born 1868) We saw the Great Spirit’s work in almost everything: sun, moon, trees, wind,and mountains. Sometimes we approached him through these things. Was thatso bad? I think we have a true belief in the supreme being, a stronger faith thanthat of most whites who have called us pagans.....Indians living close to natureand nature’s ruler are not living in darkness.

Did you know that trees talk? Well they do. They talk to each other, and they’lltalk to you if you listen. Trouble is, white people don’s listen, They neverlearned to listen to the Indians so I don’t suppose they’ll listen to other voices innature. But I have learned a lot from trees: sometimes about the weather,sometimes about animals, sometimes about the Great Spirit.

Hills are always more beautiful than stone buildings, you know. Living in a cityis an artificial existence. Lots of people hardly ever feel real soil under theirfeet, see plants grow except in flower pots, or get far enough beyond the streetlight to catch the enchantment of a night sky studded with stars. When peoplelive far from scenes of the Great Spirit’s making, it’s easy for them to forget hislaws.” Tatanga Mani (Walking Buffalo)(1871 - 1967) Therefore, we see that the spiritual feelings of George Washington Carver andthose of the original American Indians are identical.

Nowhere, in all that we have written so far, is there the slightest ‘hint’ of beggingGod for something! What we see, instead, is continuous praise of the Great Spiritfor the beauty, wonder, and mystery of His Creation! We read the joyousexpressions of love for nature which can only be said by those who haveexperienced the wonderful bliss of being at One with Her!

-17-

So what is the problem: why is it that the sayings of Christ seem to imply that Godwill give the believer anything he desires, if he only has ‘faith’ and ‘prays’ for it? Since Christ was the greatest spiritual teacher of love who ever lived, it is forcertain that his Spirit is in perfect agreement with those of George WashingtonCarver, the American Indians, and all of the other wonderful spiritual people whohave lived on earth; therefore, the problem can only be that those ‘sayings’ havebeen terribly mis-interpreted! So let us look at the words which were mis-translated from the Greek as BELIEF and FAITH:

In the Bible we find that the Greek word PISTIS was translated as FAITH 239times! The Greek word PISTOS was translated as FAITHFUL 52 times! TheGreek word PISTEUO was translated as BELIEVE 233 times!

The English word PISTON is derived from the Greek root of PISTIS and PISTOS. This root means to throb rhythmically or to beat constantly. These two wordswere even used for the action of the workers, who moved rhythmically andregularly: twenty of more working in harmony, side by side: threshing grain by theold hand method of using flails.

Therefore, it is obvious that piston, in English, is the name we give to the movingrod of an engine, which moves in constant, regular, rhythmic and harmonizedaction, which provides power. The meaning of pistis and pistos are ages old! The root is found as PISH inSanskrit, the oldest known sacred language; and it meant to move with powerfulrhythmic action!

The persistence of this meaning is one of the unexplained mysteries of the ages. Most words change their meaning from century to century, some even in a fewyears. But the meaning of words derived from PISH and PIST, have had the samemeaning, whether used 10,000 years ago in the Sanskrit, or 2000 years ago byChrist, or in our language today.

It seems that the Spirit of the Universe, consecrated these words, never to bechanged in meaning, so we might always be certain of what Christ meant when heused them for BELIEF and FAITH.

-18-

At the time Jesus lived, and when the New Testament was written, belief and faithalways meant SOMETHING IN ACTION! Now, let us consider a few contrasts!

Today, a believer is one who mentally accepts the doctrines of Christianity, andChrist as Savior. In Christ’s time a believer was one whose mind and soul andbody as well, felt the throb and beat of the power of spirit–constantly andregularly, rhythmically and harmoniously active in expressing itself!

Such belief had power! No wonder the early Christians wrought miracles, andinstantaneous healing took place!

In contrast, our belief and faith of today, our mental affirmations etc., are so weak,that tens of thousands have mentally believed they were going to be healedwithout the healing taking place.

If your mind, and heart, and body are continuously and rhythmically throbbingwith action to attain what you desire; then, nothing on earth can keep it from you!

When Christ used the Greek words PISTIS and PISTOS, he meant very muchmore than faith, mere mental belief, and acceptance of that belief as a truth by theconscious mind!

Christ meant that when you desire to turn your dream into a reality(like moving amountain for example), you must get into ACTION: the continuing, throbbing,pulsating, rhythmical and harmonious activity of the Spirit which inspires yourbody, mind, and soul to do everything that you can possibly do to bring about thefulfillment of your desire. Then, after you have done all that you can, with thepowers of God that you have so far been able to release from within yourself, your ‘higher-self’ will unconsciously do those actions required that you were notable to perform at your present level of spiritual awareness. When you do thingsthis way, with deep love and devotion to God, it is impossible for you to failbecause you have activated all of the powers of the universe which have alwaysbeen potentially within you as a Microcosm! Therefore, there is nothing whichyou can ask God for that He has not already given you! Consequently, all that youneed to do is keep joyfully expanding your consciousness, through the Love ofPure Learning, and your dreams will always come true as you abide in Heaveneternally!

What we are saying here is not just philosophy! We have applied it with greatsuccess many times in our lives. Recently, my doctor became alarmed because myPSA, indicating prostrate cancer, had reached 16. I was not at all concernedbecause I know that my Spirit is going to keep me alive until after I have finishedwhat I was born here to do. So I, and my beloved soulmate, went into ACTIONwith the goal of solving my problem! While I was doing my exercises, and eatingproperly, she studied everything she could find about alternative methods ofcontrolling the cancer.

Finally, she put together a set of alternative formulations for me to consume eachday. Recently, our doctor was astonished when he saw that my PSA was goingdown! It is continuing to go down, and it will stay down as long as necessary. Now you must remember that it was my soulmate’s accumulation of knowledgeand understanding, and my application of that knowledge which made my healingpossible! If we had just prayed to God with faith and belief(asking Him to giveus something for nothing), and never activated our God given powers, my lifewould now be threatened by prostrate cancer.

Many people throughout history, with strong wills and desires to get things done,have accomplished ‘the impossible’ and worked miracles during their lifetimes. All of them activated their God-giving powers in the manner we have described. Civilizations have all been built this way, all philosophy, mathematics, and sciencehas been brought into the world this way; therefore, there is nothing mysteriousabout the ‘creative process’! What restrains the release of even greater powers, isthe conscious-mind belief in dreams that are impossible to fulfill! As yourconsciousness expands, those things which could not be done at lower planes ofconsciousness, are found to be easily accomplished at higher levels of awareness. Finally, the reason why PISTIS is a sacred word, with a meaning that hasnever changed throughout history, is because it means VIBRATORYACTION; this is one of the four great processes with which THENAMELESS COSMIC ESSENCE defined THE CREATIVE COSMICOCTAVE OF MUSIC! Indeed, PISTOS is, for all practical purposes, THE LAWOF VIBRATION! Christ, our most wonderful teacher of Love and Cosmic Light,was most certainly aware of all of this and tried very hard to convince his disciplesof it. That he succeeded with a few of them is verified by the fact that theyperformed several healing miracles. However, most Christians, since that time,

-20-

have not expanded their consciousnesses to high enough levels of spiritualawareness for them to even remotely comprehend his beautiful messages tomankind. The proof is the fact that PISTIS has never, until now, been properlytranslated and its profound meaning comprehended.

There have been, and are, benefactors of mankind whose higher selves have giventhem the power to bring about what appears to be instantaneously healing. Someof them are highly evolved and are healing others because they love them andgreatly empathize with their suffering. However, such healing is nearly alwaystemporary, especially when it is done for those who have not expanded theirconsciousness to the level required to earn it for themselves!

One thing is for certain, human beings can never appreciate anything whichis given to them without the requirement that they give something back ofequal or greater value! This is true because if they do not give back somethingof equal of greater value, than they have received, it will inevitably reflect backnegatively upon them because the Great Law of Giving and Re-giving has beenviolated. It is only by giving and re-giving to the Cosmos, through creative action,that your consciousness can be expanded through the Love of Pure Learning.(Remember, you have to learn how to act, before you can act effectively!)

The Great Law of Duality tells us that failure and success are gender conditionedaspects of each other; therefore, one cannot exist without the other. Eliminatefailure and you will also eliminate success! Consequently, rejoice when yousucceed; and rejoice when you fail! Yes, dear ones, be exuberant when you win agame, then lovingly embrace and glorify the winner when you lose the game! Indeed, life is nothing more than a mysterious and fantastically sublime ‘game’ ofthe Cosmos! Indeed, every incident of life which you call “failure” is a step up thestairway that leads to success!

No individual has any right to come into the world and go out of it withoutleaving something behind. George Washington Carver

Find a man or a woman who has rendered great service to humanity, and in thatsoul you find love given its largest and most glorious expression. Also its freest

-21-

and happiest expression, for all the troubles and fears and jealousies of personallove are due to the attempt to limit great love to expression in a small channel andin a small channel only.

Therefore, we conclude that nobody has a right to go out of this world withoutleaving behind the fruits of the love he expressed while rendering devoted servicetoward helping others to expand their consciousnesses. Where there is no vision, there is no hope. George Washington Carver This last statement by George Washington Carver is in complete harmony withBiblical Teachings:

Where there is no vision, the people perish; but he that keepeth the law, happyis he. Proverbs 29:18. But what is the real meaning of ‘vision’ in the context of this passage? ManyChristian ministers today believe that it has something to do with the ‘Word ofGod’ as it is contained in the Bible. Therefore, they interpret the above passage toread as follows: Where there is no Word of God, where there is no message oflife, the people perish. According to I Samuel 3:1, there was a time in the historyof the Jews, when open vision was not present; because it says that “The word ofthe Lord was precious in those days; there was no open vision.”

Now what is meant here by the lack of open vision? As we have pointed outpreviously, compounded mistranslations of the most important books of the Torah,which contain profound esoteric knowledge deeply encoded within them, makes itvirtually impossible for those who have not expanded their consciousnesssufficiently, to determine the real Spiritual Science meaning of the word ‘vision’. This is verified by the fact that we presently have no openly available SpiritualScience!

It is difficult to find a spiritual leader who will disagree with the statement: “Godis the same, yesterday, today and tomorrow.” Yet, they find no problem inbelieving that in the Old Testament, God sometimes spoke audibly, but God does

-22-

not speak audibly today! However, they do not stop here, they go on to deducethat God has completed His Revelation to mankind and; therefore, all that God hasto say to mankind today, he says through his blessed book, the Bible!

For those of us who have expanded our consciousnesses to levels of awarenesshigh enough to hear the beautiful ethereal voices of nature, charming us to thedepths of our souls, while engendering the most profound emotions of CosmicLove, our minds are dazzled with ‘visions’ of wonderful things which are yet tounfold!

Now we are not implying that the Bible is not blessed; indeed, we sincerelybelieve that it, along with the other great spiritual writings of the world, are all blessed! However, can they be comprehended by the majority of the people, in theworld today, whose levels of spiritual consciousness have been so deeply presseddown, into the darkness of spiritual ignorance, by materialism? Proof of this is the fact that there never has been, and there never will be a single interpretation of theBible, which everybody in the world agrees with, and that is deeply satisfactorily to them mentally, morally, and spiritually. Indeed, this conclusion holds not onlyfor the Bible but also for theories of philosophy and physical science, includingall of today’s theories of everything. For very good reasons, which stand at thefoundations of our personal cosmology, we have not included Spiritual Science,Cosmic Music, and Universal Geometrical Mathematics in this list!

The following four passages from Revelations contain within themselves theessence of what we are attempting to convey concerning holistic education:

As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.

Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open thedoor, I will come into him, and I will sup with him, and he with me.

To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I alsoovercame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.

He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches. Revelations 3: (20 - 22)

-23-

These passages are deeply encoded with symbolism and, in all earnestness, canonly be fully comprehended by those who have become aware of the true nature oftheir Spirits. Through his teaching and guidance, Christ had helped his discipleslift their planes of spiritual consciousness to a higher level of awareness than thatwhich was being experienced by the majority of the people who lived during histime on earth. Therefore, to them, the real meaning of these passages were quiteevident, and, in some cases, outright obvious!

First, let us take the statements: “If any man hear my voice,” and “He that hathan ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.” Now let us speakto you emphatically: there never has been, and there never will be, a person,who has incarnated into this physical world, who can talk to his personal Spirit, and feel its presence, with deep emotional love, within himself,WITHOUT HAVING EARNED THE ABILITY TO DO SO! Remember, you are a Microcosm, with all of the powers of the Cosmos waiting to beawakened from within you, and a major part of the purpose for your existence, isfor you to release those awesome powers and become a co-creator with God.

The first thing that a child must learn, in order to survive in the world, is how tospeak the language of his parents and other people in his community. Therefore,everyone who wishes to communicate with their Spirit, enter the gates ofHEAVEN by beginning to expand their consciousness, must first learn to speak,read, and communicate with THE LANGUAGE OF LIGHT!

Galileo realized that mathematics, the masculine aspect of the LANGUAGE OFLIGHT, is capable of describing physical science. He was inspired to write thefollowing:

Here it will be perceived, from innumerable examples, what is the use ofmathematics for judgement in the natural sciences, and how impossible it is tophilosophize correctly without it...

Philosophy is written in that great book which ever lies before our eyes–I meanthe universe–but we cannot understand it if we do not first learn the languageand characters in which it is written. This language is mathematics, and thecharacters are triangles, circles, and other geometrical figures, without whosehelp it is impossible to comprehend a single word of it; without which one

-24-

wanders in vain through a dark labyrinth. Galileo Galilei (1564 - 1642) Since the time of Galileo, the evolution of mathematics has been found to beintimately correlated with the expansion, of the intellectual aspects of man’s consciousness, to increasingly higher levels; however, the spiritual aspects havebeen left lagging behind.

It is only after studying geometrical mathematics, and the lives of the greatcreative mathematicians who developed it over many centuries, do we now finallyrealize that all of them were great men of ‘Vision’! Indeed, it was only after theyhad opened the doors of their minds, when their Spirits knocked, that their abilityto idealize, visualize, and particularize, the wonderful potentials of mathematicsin their dreams were greatly increased. They fell so deeply in love with thebeauty of their ideas that most of them ‘worked’ relentlessly all of their lives toconvert them into realities.

Many different mathematical visionaries, working from a variety of points ofview, at different levels of consciousness, created several branches of mathematicsamong which the most important are: Algebra, Trigonometry, EuclideanGeometry, Analytical Geometry, Projective Geometry, Non-Euclidean Geometry,and Group Theory. All of them are intimately related; yet, they have been taughtin schools as separate subjects. The wonderful mathematical visionary, Dr. DavidHestenes, had dreams of unifying all of these different branches of mathematicsinto one and spent his entire career working to turn his ideas into realities. Theresult of all of this effort by him and his colleagues was the creation of theMasculine Aspect of our Language of Light which we refer to as UniversalGeometrical Mathematics.

Euclid’s Elements was the primary text for teaching mathematics for over 2000years! It has been responsible for stimulating the imaginations of the greatestmathematicians and scientists in history. Einstein once said: If Euclid failed tokindle your youthful enthusiasm, then you were not born to be a scientificthinker. Abraham Lincoln studied Euclid in order to train his mind to reasonacutely.

-25-

Euclid’s elements were still found in classrooms until the 20 century. During theth

20 century, classroom time spent teaching Euclidean Geometry graduallyth

declined while increasing stress was being placed on teaching arithmetic, algebra,analytical geometry and calculus. In a few schools the teaching of EuclideanGeometry has been completely phased out whereas in others, it is given only as anelective. Studies show that there has been a considerable decline in the ability ofthe average student in America, who is not specifically studying mathematics andscience, to visualize things geometrically, think logically, and reason precisely.

for more than sixty years, with increasing frustration, while attempting to evolve itinto an effective language for spiritual science also, we made the remarkablediscovery that the Creative Cosmic Octave of Music is projected into beingprecisely according to the Fundamental Law of Projective Geometry! After sevenmore years of expanding our consciousness with respect to this wonderfulconcept, we have now succeeded in creating our Language of Light which resultsfrom the marriage of Masculine Universal Geometrical Mathematics and theFeminine Creative Cosmic Octave of Music!

Now we know, with absolute certainty, what the wonderful noun ‘Vision’ reallymeans! It can never be given to you as a gift, it will never be showered downupon you from heaven, and, most certainly, you can never buy it! It is worth morethan all of the jewels in the Cosmos; indeed, even though It is Priceless, its valuecontinues to increase forever. It can only be earned by learning the language oflight and expanding your consciousness to a level of awareness high enough toenable you to open your ears and hear your Spirit knocking at the door of yourheart, and lovingly asking you to allow It to enter! When you open the door, andallow the Light of your Spirit to enter, it dissipates the darkness of ignorance andmaterialism while simultaneously filling your heart with Indescribable Visions ofStars and Galaxies which are creating and evolving infinite living universes thatare filled with the Love and Light of THE BOUNDLESS COSMIC ESSENCE! This is alluded to in Acts 2:17 which is a very badly ‘doctored’ translation fromthe original Greek that reads as follows:

"And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of mySpirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, andyour young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams."

-26-

No where is it implied that all that you have to do is pray, ask forgiveness, andpraise God in order to receive from him the wonderful ‘gifts’ of prophesy and theability to see ‘visions’.

We are now living in those days of transformation which are being referred to inActs 2:17. George Washington Carver is the perfect example of a person wholived his entire life being guided and inspired by the Spirit of THE BOUNDLESSCOSMIC ESSENCE. Therefore, his last two quotes are wonderful advice forthose of us who are striving to bring Divine Holistic Education into the World forour precious children: There is no short cut to achievement. Life requires thorough preparation - veneer isn't worth anything.

Since new developments are the products of a creative mind, we must therefore stimulate and encourage that type of mind in every way possible.

George Washington Carver

Remember: Since Man was created in the image of God, it is the primarypurpose of each and every person to become a co-creator with God. They canonly accomplish this by receiving a profound Holistic Education, which iscentered and enfolded by BCE, devoting themselves to the Love of PureLearning, and gaining profound understanding through deep intellectualthought and emotionally meditating in an environment of Cosmic Music thatresonates harmoniously with their Spirits.
