Veiled to our outer perception, we travel through a labyrinth, a multidimensional labyrinth hidden from our awareness -covered by a thick veil of ordinariness. The great obstacle to obtaining a vision of this Real World is the overwhelming conditioning which obliges us to always and in everything interpret the impressions which reach us on the level of the primate mind, and thus only perceive what we expect to perceive, not what is really there. There is something which through the ages has been called the "Great Work". It is our purpose in these pages, and those we link to, to inform and assist those who somehow feel a need, a call, to go and look for this "Work" and who are in need of information, material, and tools to accomplish this goal. |

Tales of the Mexican Sufis the story of Juan Tepozton, the Boy Who Could Do Anything |
|
It probably will not come as a surprise to hear that Juan Tepozton, The Boy Who Could Do Anything, was not born in an ordinary way. He began his existence by simply appearing one day on the top of a very high mountain. One day he was not on the mountain, the next day he was. He was gone today and here tomorrow. Juan did not stay on the mountain for very long and when it came time for him to leave, he went to his father and he told him that he was afraid to go. His father told him that he would make the descent with him and look after him even though he had many duties to attend to on the mountain. Juan knew that his father could not allow himself to be seen by lower beings in the Creation and he didn't understand how his father could leave the mountain. "I will disguise myself and surround you," Juan's father told him. "I will go before you and be one step ahead of you wherever you go. If you look straight ahead, you'll see me and I will protect you and care for you during the time of your descent on the Earth". "But father, if this is so," said Juan, "how will I see where I am going?" "Very simple," his father replied, "I will look exactly like where you are going". "But father," Juan persisted, "how will I see where I have been?" "I will look exactly like where you have been," his father answered. "But how will I see past you when people talk to me?" Juan implored. "I will look exactly like the people talking to you," his father explained. "Just answer as if you were talking directly to them". "Father," said Juan, "it seems to me then that I will not really descend from the mountain and that the things that I will see at the base of the mountain will not really be there and the people that I meet will not really be there either. After all, a painting of the thing is not the thing itself". "Ah, in this case," his father said, " the painting of the thing IS the thing itself. As for descending the mountain, of course you will descend the mountain and you will see many different things and travel over many different lands and meet many people and see many animals and many plants. You will have many, many adventures. I just wish I could go with you". "But father," Juan exclaimed, "did you not say that you will be going with me, that you will be surrounding me everywhere I go?" "Yes, that is true Juan," his father told him. "But for me it is not the same thing. When you see a tree, really, you see a part of me surrounding yourself and when you see a rock, you also see a part of me which surrounds yourself. But as you see these parts of me, I do not see the tree. I do not see the rock. All I see my son, is you and of course, I see outside myself as well". "Well father," said Juan thoughtfully, "what is outside yourself?" "Well, you know what it looks like when you are with me on the mountain," his father reminded him. "Yes father, I do," said Juan. "It looks exactly like that," he said, "only more so". From the audio cassette, Adventures of the Hi-Tech Shaman, by E.J. Gold, Copyright Gateways Books and Tapes 1985

The Art you see on these pages: For millennia it has been known that there exists a different art, one greater than depictions of the human realm, an art whose purpose is to make visible that which eludes our common sight. In this art, the artist's task is to create artifacts which convey objective truths through imagery, and in addition, to bring themselves into a state of receptivity whereby higher vibrational energy can be imbued into the piece to create a resonating artifact. When combined with imagery depicting higher dimensional realities, these works can have a profound evolutionary impact upon the viewer, most particularly if the viewer has been initiated into methods of sensing using the higher centers and penetration through the use of essence attention. In our attempts to create art, we do likewise. Rather than record personal subjective experiences for posterity, we endeavor to reel in visionary glimpses of the macrodimensions for the evolutionary benefit of the many, creating iconographic works which present eternal chambers. Or perhaps the artist may invoke a tangible mood which connects to a higher emotion. In this way, the artist can create a ladder for the ascent of the viewer. In the past, using their profound knowledge of sacred geometry, initiates have created monumental works of objective art as seen in the cathedrals of Europe and pyramids of Egypt. The higher purpose for these works is to manifest in our lower dimensional world that which exists in the higher dimensions, and to affect all those who enter with its corresponding higher emotional resonance, and perhaps also the corresponding energetic properties of these higher chambers. |
