Esoteric Talks

We begin, slowly, with the prologue of The Ocean of Love by Kabir. Most of the terms used in this ancient mystic poem are unfamiliar to us. It takes attention and study, but it's worth it to those wishing to see the common thread of truth running through all esoteric teachings from all eras and areas.

We regularly fail to discern the fact that we are not one. Because we are not one it's nearly impossible for us to understand the esoteric meaning of parables. Until we can get beyond our sense based mind we have no chance to discover our higher mind.

Ridding ourselves of identification and negative emotions is only half the job before us. There's a great danger in leaving an internal vacancy. Esoteric literature warns us of this danger but most of us don't understand the language well enough to get the message.

The Ocean of Love, by Kabir, is an ancient esoteric poem that presents the impact of Time on Eternity and Eternity’s response. Eternity is the Ocean of Love. Where Time touches Eternity it perverts it producing the ocean of this world, the only reality most of us know.

There's a reason expanding one's consciousness and getting right understanding is so difficult. It's not the fault of the teachings, but the twisted part of us acquired by our contact with life.

This Work, esoteric ideas, will never work for those who take it very heavily, very seriously. There is an eternal boy in each of us able to receive these ideas properly and be nourished by them. This is the intermediary between the two worlds.

The Ocean of Love is a ancient poem of Kabir also known as, The Anurag Sagar. It's an esoteric story of creation explaining our condition and its remedy.

We finish up the book with this episode and discuss some of the problems of predictions that haven't been accurate and prophecies that haven't been fulfilled in the time they were predicted to happen.

Why is it that esoteric stories and parables have hidden meanings? We look at some stories and parables in esoteric writings that are so familiar to us it's difficult to get beyond what we know to what we don't know but need to know.

What makes this Work so difficult? It's the lower centers we use to touch life. How can we get the lower centers to get something from the Higher Centers? We need a new force.
