THE GODS

Zeus

– AN INVOCATION OF THE GODS –

Where upon Olympus stand the gods who once ruled over Man?  Fallen from the Lofty Land to dwell on Earth as mortal men?

Who remembers how to fly as freeborn spirits through the sky? What powers can be exercised while trapped within a mortal guise?

The gods once caused themselves to bring The Breath of Life itself to being.  Their very thoughts made every thing: the sea, a sigh, the sky, the spring!

PAN GOD OF THE WOODSThe Gods of Old, like you & me, created everything we see. Have they lost causality?  Abandoned their abilities?

Where are the gods of history?  What happened to their memory? If we are them and they are we, who will cause our destiny?

Merchant Lords now rule the fold. They want us all to fit their mold: “Be a Man!  Do as you’re told!  The only god there is, is gold!”

How did we ever sink so low, pretending we don’t really know that we’re the spark that makes life grow, like springtime flowers through the snow?

Infinity is passing by, but time is really just a lie. Are we immortal, you and I?  A question states its own reply…

We never really know we’re blind until we search around to find a simple way to leave behind the suffering that is Mankind.

Can godly powers be regained, like oceans fall to Earth as rain? Can we go back from whence we came, to greater heights and bigger games?

Lead us homeward once again, to realms beyond the dreams of men. We’ve gone astray, we’ve lost our ken*.  We need your help, Immortal Friends!

— Lawrence R. Spencer, from Pan-God of The Woods

EUGENE FERSEN New AgeBaron Eugene Fersen, ‘The Teacher of The Teachers,’ launched in his time the greatest ‘Human Potential Movement’ that would later become the inspiration for what he called, the ‘New Age.’

Baron Eugene Fersen was born November 18th, 1873 in Saint Petersburg, Russia.  He began teaching by the early 1890’s and went to the great beyond on April 24th, 1956.  He was the eldest son of a Grand Duchess of Russia/Poland. His mother knew before his birth that he was to be a guiding light for the people of this World; she called him Svetozar, meaning The Lightbearer. The Baron’s mother saw to it that her son had the proper teachers and education that would assist and support the Absolute Eternal Aspects of his Soul so as to fulfill his divine destiny.  Eugene’s uncle was Count Leo Tolstoy, the writer famously known for his renowned literary works War and Peace and Anna Karenina. Tolstoy was one of Mohandas Gandhi’s greatest influences and friend.

Baron Fersen came to the United States for his second lecture tour in 1904 to share his already popularized teachings and lessons known as the Science Of Being.  From the late 1800s, Eugene’s teachings taught or influenced many of the great thinkers, writers, inventors and leaders of the 19th and 20th centuries.  Here are a few of the highly influential people he taught:

Charles Francis Haanel (May 22, 1866 – November 27, 1949) (The Master Key System)

Elizabeth Towne  (Author of The Life Power and How to Use it is shown in the opening sequence of the 2006 movie The Secret. The film presents many of the ideas that she promoted, along with those of Wallace Wattles and William Walker Atkinson.)

Wallace D. Wattles (1860–1911) (The Science Of Getting Rich and The Science Of Being Well)

Edgar Cayce (March 18, 1877 – January 3, 1945) was an American mysticwho possessed the ability to answer questions on subjects as varied as healing, reincarnation, wars, Atlantis and future events while in a trance.

IMAGINE BEING A GOD…

IMAGINE BEING A GOD

Literature, art, dance music and other aesthetic forms of communication, are created solely and only about the life and death of a human being:  an immortal spiritual being inhabiting a body made of fragile flesh.

On Earth, the interest of spiritual beings is directed by artists toward bodies, bodies, bodies.  Bodies are born, endure a brief lifetime of pain, false ambition, despair and quiet desperation.  Humans gasp in short bursts of physical sensation.  They walk to the store, plodding step by tedious step.  They do not cross half a planet in the instant of a thought! Such Divine Flight and Freedom is the privilege of a god! Yet, All Sentient Spiritual Beings are Immortal.

What is a god?  An Immortal Spiritual Being.  This is not a notion of ‘THE GOD’, Creator of All Things in The Physical Universe.  No.  This is simply the reality that each one of us, as individual Immortal Souls, have infinite potential to cause and create and control our Own Personal Universe!

History has clearly demonstrated that anyone can Be Who They Decide To Be.  Realization of any Dream is as simple as being, doing and having who and what one decides To Be.

What prevents Immortal Spiritual Beings who animate and inhabit physical bodies from realizing the essential Freedom and Ability of an invisible, powerful, all-knowing, divinity;  a “no-thing” of unlimited age, creative potential and god-like ability to Be divine?

Priests who insist that only they can communicate with “god”, and, the “god” is out there somewhere.  And, foremost, writers who create the illusion that the ONLY GAME that can be played by any being, anywhere and anytime, are the games of The Body.  They use the most powerful tool of all: aesthetics!  Beautiful words, masterful pictures, magical sounds and symmetrical physical forms entice and entrap you.  The most precious, most desirable quality for a Spiritual Being is that Quality in the physical universe that is most similar to themselves:  Aesthetics!  Indeed, only a Spiritual Being can create beauty!  The source and essence of art and beauty IS that “no-thing” we call the Spirit.

How often have you read a book and seen a film that is dedicated to the life, loves, games, activities, dreams and aspirations of a disembodied Spiritual Being?  Ever?  Can you think of any?

Only YOU can create beauty.  Only YOU can create your personal universe.  Only YOU, as the god-like, immortal spiritual being that you are, can animate, inhabit, create and transcend the physical forms of flesh.  This ability begins with imagination…the Decision to BE!

You are NOT a tiny physical body, trapped on a distant planet, impotent, frail and pathetic dust.  You ARE the Eternal Potential Power of Creation!  A god.  Creator and Destroyer of Universes!

However, you have been sold out.  Sold into Eternal Slavery by every artist with pen and brush who used Aesthetics to tell you that you have NO IDENTITY unless you inhabit a body.  You and I should regard such treasonous fellow beings as Enemies of Our Immortal Selves!  They destroy your Personal Divinity with lies carried through art.  You must HAVE a Body.  Only the Body can have an identity.  Only the body can live, love, play, create and feel sensation.  These are lies.  In Truth, only an Immortal Spiritual Being can cause or create anything at all…including bodies, planets, stars, universes and beauty.
