Founder, Dr. Masters’ Weekly Mystical Insights

Audio version read by Rev. Steven Lane Taylor, B.Msc. – “Alpha and Omega”

When the Christ Mind that was in Jesus spoke the words, “I am the Alpha and Omega—the Beginning and the End” (Rev. 1: 8), a profound mystical truth was being proclaimed, affirming what mystics of the past, present, and future have voiced. The words state that the past (that is, the beginning) and the future (that is, the ending) are as One, and that time, or the appearance of it, is a cosmic blur—an illusion of Absolute Reality. This is to say that there is no real time lapse between beginning and ending—only the illusion of it. The illusion of time exists to help in the construction of a cosmic duality, where the suggestion of opposites creates the illusion that the One Life of the Universe, or God, is now many lives and many lifetimes—all seemingly flowing in time.

Aware of the illusion of time and seeing the Reality of Absolute Universal Selfhood, the Christ Mind that was in Jesus made known to those with spiritual ears to hear that He existed in a state of Universal Awareness—of Christ Consciousness existing Eternally as Alpha and Omega; Beingness without a beginning or ending; an endless circle without a starting or ending point; an Eternity that simply IS. Because there is existence, it can be thought of as One Eternal Moment of Time—a cosmic timepiece showing only one moment of time.

Why is all this so important?

Audio version read by Rev. Steven Lane Taylor, B.Msc. – “After Enlightenment, Then What?”

At this very moment there are many people throughout the world following many different spiritual paths, which they hope will bring them to what they believe is the very end of the spiritual rainbow—Enlightenment.

People traveling the various paths to Enlightenment feel that if they can achieve it, then they have achieved the Ultimate human experience. In its truest description, Enlightenment goes beyond intellectual comprehension of the experience. It is not about seeking God, speculating, or theologically theorizing about God or Ultimate Beingness. Enlightenment means the firsthand, intimate, mystical experience of God Presence or Oneness with the Universe. It is beingness with Ultimate Beingness itself—in the innermost center of consciousness, yet also to its universal outer reaches.    

If what is being stated here is accurate, it would indeed seem that experiencing Enlightenment would be the end of a journey through countless lifetimes for the soul, which is the individualized expression of Ultimate Beingness, Consciousness, Spirit or God.  What else is there? If, in the next moment, one would suddenly experience Enlightenment, would life come to an abrupt halt?  Would one’s soul be swallowed up by an infinite field of light, with one’s physical body vanishing as a result?

“Looking Back… Into the Future”

As life for every soul unfolds until it becomes one with conscious Awareness, the surface part of the mind waits in anticipation of what the future will be. Will there be improvements in finances, love, health, happiness? Or will things continue as they have been or—God forbid—will they worsen?

Many decades ago, a song that was popular had lyrics that went, “Whatever will be, will be / The future’s not ours to see / Que será, será.” The lyrics maintained that what will be—will be, suggesting that one had little power of what will be. Of course, this flies in the face of the personal human ego, which, to justify its existence, asserts that it does have the power, in and of itself, to mold or shape the future.

“A Universally Conscious Mind”

St. Paul once proclaimed, “Let this Mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus.”

Richard Maurice Bucke had this experience, and in his now classic book titled Cosmic Consciousness, he writes about some of the many people through the ages whom he believed had also experienced Cosmic or Universal Consciousness.

In recent years, through advancement in communications, there has been a surge of both hard copy books and eBooks speaking on the subject, but most who speak or write on the subject are commentators or observers that have not themselves had such an awakening.
