We’re All Climbing the Same Mountain: The Proper Attire For The Journey.

Jacob Needleman _{(b. 1934)} is an American philosopher. He is professor of philosophy at San Francisco State University.
He was educated in philosophy at Harvard University, Yale University and the University of Freiburg, Germany.
Needleman has published many books, most of which draw from G. I. Gurdjieff _and [http://pvrguymale.blogspot.ca/2011/02/fourth-way.html].

Needleman speaks of a mountain that is very high, and being at the top of the mountain is being with God. The base of this mountain is so broad that it extends out to several different climate zones. People in the arctic climate have a tradition about how to climb the mountain, wearing a parka with snowshoes and goggles, etc. The people in the tropical zone teach how it is necessary to wear short pants and a pith helmet with mosquito netting. The people in the arctic, by the time they get halfway up the mountain find that it is warmer than they had thought, so they shed some of their outerwear. The people from the tropics find the need to go back to get a sweater. By the time they get to the top, they're all dressed in a similar way because there is only one top.
The problem Needleman cautions about is when people walk around the base of the mountain arguing with each other about the proper way to dress for the journey.

BE HAPPY

It is useless to think about what will make you happy. If you think you know a source of sunshine you will try to find it in other people, in ownership, in effort and time. But these areas have never made anyone happy. You are happy when you don't think about happiness, for true peace cannot come from a strained mind. Anxious desire builds an illusory castle which collapses with the first frustration. Above all ideas about happiness is Happiness.
Prove this for yourself.

"We can tell what we are like by noticing what impresses us. We are impressed by whatever resides on our own psychic level. It can be no other way, for we are our own impressions. Whenever we see anything, we see ourselves, as in a mirror. Are we impressed with another person's cunning self-interest which masquerades as generosity? Are we impressed by hearing that self-facing is not our doom but our healing? See the difference in these two kinds of impressions. We cannot see above our own present level, but we can open ourselves to a higher level, which permits that level to impress us with its power for healing."
_{Vernon Howard}

This is the only thing that you need do for vision, happiness, release from pain, and the complete escape from sin, all to be given you. Say only this, but mean it with no reservations, for here the power of salvation lies:

"I AM responsible for what I see.
I CHOSE the feelings I experience, and I DECIDED ON the goal I would achieve.
And everything that SEEMS to happen TO me, I ASKED FOR and received as I had asked."

Deceive yourself no longer that you are helpless in the face of what is done to you. Acknowledge but that you have been mistaken, and all effects of your mistakes will disappear.[ACIM,21,II,2]

Music has charms to soothe a savage breast.

William Congreve _{(1670 – 1729)} was an English playwright and poet.

 Two of Congreve's turns of phrase from The Mourning Bride (1697) have become famous, albeit frequently in misquotation:

• "Music has charms to soothe a savage breast," which is the first line of the play, spoken by Almeria in Act I, Scene 1. (The word "breast" is often misquoted as "beast", and "has" sometimes appears as "hath".)
• "Heaven has no rage like love to hatred turned, Nor hell a fury like a woman scorned," spoken by Zara in Act III, Scene VIII.^[1] (This is usually paraphrased as "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned")

Just look into your heart my friend.

Enigma is an electronic musical project founded in Germany by Michael Cretu, David Fairstein and Frank Peterson in 1990. The Romanian-born Cretu conceived the Enigma project while working in Germany, but has based his recording studio A.R.T. Studios in Ibiza, Spain, since the early 1990s until May 2009, where he has recorded all of Enigma's studio releases to date. Cretu is both the composer and the producer of the project.

Remember that if the glass looks less than full, it is an illusion and is not based in truth. Whatever you see with your eyes (e.g. an empty wallet, poor health, loneliness, deprivation, etc.) or anything that indicates your glass is less than full, IT IS AN ILLUSION. Then, ask God to help you remember the truth instead of the illusion.  Hold a place in your mind for your wholeness, health and abundance to be remembered.  You might even hold a picture in your mind of your full and overflowing glass of water.

Internal Spiritual Reflection Is More Important Than Ritual In Deepening The Spiritual Life.

Evelyn Underhill (1875 – 1941) was an English Anglo-Catholic writer and pacifist known for her numerous works on religion and spiritual practice, in particular Christian mysticism.
In the English-speaking world, she was one of the most widely read writers on such matters in the first half of the twentieth century. No other book of its type—until the appearance in 1946 of Aldous Huxley's The Perennial Philosophy—met with success to match that of her best-known work, Mysticism, published in 1911.
Underhill's book, Mysticism: A Study of the Nature and Development of Man's Spiritual Consciousness, was published in 1911, and is distinguished by the very qualities which make it inappropriate as a straightforward textbook. The spirit of the book is romantic, engaged, and theoretical rather than historical or scientific. Underhill has little use for theoretical explanations and the traditional religious experience, formal classifications or analysis.

Historical evidence for the existence of Merlin and a Dark Age sea voyage to North America.

In Merlin and the Discovery of Avalon in the New World Graham presents compelling evidence that the legend of Merlin was based on the life of an historical figure – the last of the Romans to rule the island of Britain.

Ultimately, Graham examines the legend that Merlin sailed off to Avalon, a mystical land said to lie far across the western seas. In an eighth-century Irish manuscript he finds evidence that this story was based on an historical sea crossing to North America a thousand years before the time of Columbus.
