What is God

There are many names and descriptions of God. Rather than do a historical thesis about the names and roles of God I will attempt to explain to you what God is and is not. God is different to every person individually. No one person can give God a definitive and thus limiting definition. Other writers of various religious books have said that God is everywhere. They have also continued with such clues that God is eternal, all powerful, all knowing, etc.… How can this be? Well what follows is the knowledge that I have gleaned and here I am sharing with you. Take it or leave it, I can never hope to convince you of a different belief system and am not trying to. I am simply attempting to show you a better way of thinking about God.

In short, God is a substance. I know you are thinking, "that is a bit obvious" but allow us examine that a bit more closely.

The dictionary defines Substance as: "that which underlies all outward manifestations; the essence; the real or essential part of anything, the essential reality; the matter of which a thing consists, solid or substantial quality of the thing in itself, consistency, body, the real meaning".
The dictionary shows the meaning of Substantial to be: "having substance, actually existing; being the essential element; being real, having reality".

The dictionary explains the meaning of Reality is: "the quality or fact of being real, the state of being real; true, enduring, valid, fixed, permanent, actual".

So to define God as a substance requires a bit more extrapolation. Under and behind all outward appearance, there is a substantial reality. Something else makes up what we see. This is just the way it is.

What we see is not what we are really seeing. We may see a rock, but it actually a small piece of something that was once much larger, and is made of a substance we do not know. It may be granite right now to us, but it was made from something else that we are unaware of. On the other extreem; We humans when considering the Universe, of which we are but a unit of, see nothing but change in matter, forces, and mental states. We see nothing that really IS, but that everything that is BECOMING and CHANGING. Nothing stands still–everything is being born, growing, dying, and moving. The very instant a thing reaches its zenith it then begins to decline. This is the law of rhythm. Rhythm is in constant operation, there is no reality, enduring quality, or substantiality.

Nothing is permanent but Change. We see all things evolving from other things,
and resolving into other things, a constant action and reaction, inflow and outflow; building up and tearing down; creation and destruction; birth, growth and death. Nothing endures but Change. Moreover, if we be a thinking people, we realize that all of these changing things must be merely outward appearances or manifestations of some Underlying Power, some substantial Reality.

All great thinkers, in all lands and in all times, have assumed the necessity for postulating the existence of this Substantial Reality. All philosophies worthy of the name have been based upon this thought. The human race has given to this Substantial Reality many names, some have called it by the term Deity, or God (under many titles); others have called it "The Infinite and Eternal Energy"; others have tried to call it "Matter" but all have acknowledged its existence; It is self-evident and it needs no argument.

Some of the world's greatest thinkers, both ancient and modern Masters have called this Underlying Power, this Substantial Reality by the name of "THE ALL," and some have said the Substantial Reality has called itself "I Am". This term we should consider the most comprehensive of the many terms applied by us to that which transcends all names and every term.

We have to accept the view of those whom assert that the inner nature of "THE ALL" is UNKNOWABLE. This must be so, for nothing but "THE ALL" itself can comprehend its own nature and being. We have to understand and believe that "THE ALL", in itself, is and must ever be UNKNOWABLE. The regard for all the theories, guesses and speculations of all the theologians, priests, and metaphysicians regarding the inner nature of "THE ALL", as nothing but childish efforts of our mortal minds to grasp the secret of the Infinite. Such efforts have always failed and always will. If we were to pursue such trains of thought we would travel around and around in the labyrinth of thought, until we are lost to all sane reasoning, action or conduct, and become totally unfit for the work of life. The example would be like the hamster which frantically runs around the treadmill wheel of its cage. Moving and expending effort and yet getting nowhere, and at the end still a prisoner, ending just where it started.

Still even more silly are those of us who attempt to ascribe to "THE ALL" the personality, qualities, properties, characteristics and attributes of themselves. Attempting to give to "THE ALL" human emotions, feelings, and characteristics. Some even lower "THE ALL" down to the pettiest qualities of mankind, such as jealousy, susceptibility to flattery, praise, desire for offerings, worship, and all the other leftovers from the earliest days of our race. Such ideas are not worthy of grown men and women, and are rapidly being discarded.

We can no more give attributes to God than our own blood cells could say they are human. A blood cell has a certain part to play in our life. Without the blood cell we could still function, but without our human form the blood cell could not function. We can not say we are God, we are but a part of "THE ALL" and without it we could not exist, but "THE ALL" can and does continue to exist without us. For the blood cell to comprehend the human would be as impossible a task as humans trying to comprehend "THE ALL". Another example would be the sculptor and statue. The statue could not exist without first the sculptor creating it. Yet the statue can not create the sculptor but is a part of the sculptor as it would not exist except the for sculptor. For the statue to claim that because it was created, it is like the sculptor would be absolutely preposterous as it cannot create like the sculptor did...

Here is where I must digress and discuss a human tendency, namely Religion, Theology, Philosophy, and Metaphysics. At this point, let us discuss that there is a distinction between Religion and Theology as well as between Philosophy and Metaphysics.

Religion, means that institutional realization of the existence of "THE ALL", and what we are told is our relationship to it, as well as the assumption of the office of middle-men between "THE ALL" and the people.

Theology means the attempts of men to ascribe personality, qualities, and characteristics to it. The theories regarding its affairs, will, desires, plans, and designs.

Philosophy means the inquiry after knowledge of things knowable and thinkable.

Metaphysics means the attempt to carry the inquiry over and beyond the boundaries and into regions unknowable and unthinkable, and with the same tendency as that of Theology.

Thus consequently, both Religion and Theology means having roots in only our reality, while Philosophy and Metaphysics try to delve into areas we can never know, rooted in the quicksand of ignorance, and giving us nothing but the most insecure support for the mind or soul of Man.

So while the essential nature of "THE ALL" is Unknowable, there are certain truths connected with its existence which the human mind finds itself compelled to accept.
That which is the Fundamental Truth, the Substantial Reality, is beyond true naming, but the Wise Men call it "THE ALL". In its Essence, "THE ALL" is UNKNOWABLE.

So let us discuss some of the fine points you may have missed.
1. THE ALL must be ALL that REALLY IS. There can be nothing existing outside of THE ALL, else THE ALL would not be THE ALL.

2. THE ALL must be INFINITE, for is nothing else to define, confine, bound, limit or restrict THE ALL.

3. It must be Infinite in Time, or ETERNAL. It must have always continuously existed, for there is nothing else to have ever created it, and something can never evolve from nothing. If it had ever "not been," even for a moment; it would not "be" now. It must continuously exist forever, for there is nothing to destroy it, and it can never "not-be," even for a moment. Because something can never become nothing.

4. It must be Infinite in Space. It must be Everywhere, for there is no place outside of THE ALL, it cannot be otherwise than continuous in Space, without break, cessation, separation, or interruption. For there is nothing to break, separate, or interrupt its continuity and nothing with which to "fill in the gaps." 5. It must be Infinite in Power, or Absolute, for there is nothing to limit, restrict, restrain, confine, disturb or condition it. It is subject to no other Power, for there is no other Power.

6. THE ALL must be IMMUTABLE, or not subject to change in its real nature, for there is nothing to work changes upon it; nothing into which it could change, nor from which it could have changed. It cannot be added to nor subtracted from; increased nor diminished; nor become greater or lesser in any respect whatsoever.

7. It must have always been, and must always remain, just what it is now, THE ALL. There has never been, is not now, and never will be, anything else into which it can change.
THE ALL being Infinite, Absolute, Eternal and Unchangeable it must follow that anything finite, changeable, fleeting, and conditioned cannot be THE ALL. In addition as there is Nothing outside of THE ALL. In reality then, any and all such finite things must be as Nothing in reality. Now do not become confused, or frightened. There is a reconciliation of this apparently contradictory state of affairs.

We see around us that which is called "Matter," which forms the physical foundation for all forms. Is THE ALL merely matter? No it cannot be matter! Matter cannot manifest Life or Mind, and as Life and Mind are manifested in the Universe. THE ALL cannot be Matter, for nothing rises higher than its own source, nothing is ever manifested in an effect that is not in the cause. Nothing is evolved as a consequence that is not involved as an antecedent.

Then Modern Science informs us that there is really no such thing as Matter, that which we call Matter is merely "interrupted energy or force," that is, energy or force at a low rate of vibration. Then is THE ALL mere Energy or Force? Not Energy or Force as the scientists use the term. For energy and force are blind, mechanical things, devoid of Life or Mind. Life and Mind can never evolve from blind Energy or Force, for the reason given a moment ago. So THE ALL cannot be mere Energy or Force, for, if it were, then there would be no such things as Life and Mind in existence. We know better than that, for we are Alive and using Mind to consider this very question, and so are those who claim that Energy or Force is Everything.

What is there then higher than Matter or Energy? LIFE AND MIND! Life and Mind in all their varying degrees! "Then," you ask, "do you mean to tell us that THE ALL is LIFE and MIND?" Yes and No. If you mean Life and Mind as we poor mortals know them, then No! THE ALL is not that! "But what kind of Life and Mind do you mean?" you ask.

The answer is "LIVING MIND, as far above mortals, as Life and Mind are higher than mechanical forces. INFINITE LIVING MIND as compared to finite Life and Mind." This is the Paradox of the Universe. The answer is that which the illuminated souls mean when they reverently pronounce the word: "SPIRIT!"

"THE ALL" is Infinite Living Mind, the Illuminated call it SPIRIT!

The Law of Karma

This Law supposedly originated in the orient and thus its name is more familiar in eastern philosophies than in western. The word karma is known in the Orient and to millions of people in the entire world. Many people know of it and the theory of karma.

Karma is the law of reciprocation. It has been said many different ways. Examples are "you reap what you sow", "what goes around comes around", and "you get what you give". The best I have ever heard is "your future is caused by your choices" and "you pay what you owe and get paid what you earn".

Like it or not this law is universal. That’s right, this law operates in the whole universe. It affects everyone all the time. What people aren’t realizing is that it is not just actions that cause reactions; it is also your thoughts. If you misuse the power of thought, the Law of Karma will fall upon you and you will be horribly punished. Punished is such a limited word, to explain a bit better; you will be subject to the opposite that you desire. I am not saying that terrible ray of Cosmic Justice will inevitably fall upon you like a ray of vengeance. What I am saying is that you will attract undesirable circumstances and situations.

Everything you do should be done for the greater good. Not just for yourself, but for you and yours. This means for all people that are affected by your existence. You should do and think such that all around you benefit as well as yourself, not just yourself. Realize that everything you do and think has an effect. If you do good things you get good things, if you do wrong, you get bad.

If you want to be surrounded by good circumstances, then recognize the good qualities of others. Stimulate the good qualities of your fellows, do not humiliate anyone, and do not despise anyone. It is necessary to encourage each other. By means of appreciation and encouragement we can awaken enthusiasm in all those people that we affect.
"The sincere appreciation of the merits of one’s fellowman is one of the greatest secrets of success". Samael Aun Weor

One of the first things to do is to stop the bad habit of talking about ourselves at every moment. You should abandon the terrible habit of talking about yourself and telling the story of your life at every turn. Talking about yourself all the time makes you unbearable. Then people begin to avoid you. Persons like this fall into misery because people become tired of them. Stop seeking sympathy and give praise to your circle of friends and family. It is good to strengthen and encourage the good qualities of our associates

The next thing to do is stop say "I;" always say "we." The term "we" has more cosmic power. The term "I" is egotistical and tires all those who are exposed to us. The "I" is a creator of conflicts and problems. Always repeat: "we, we, we." This strengthens the bond between you and yours. Start giving praise and soon you will receive it in return. This is the perfect example of karma at work. Try it you will like it.

To borrow a bit more from Samael Aun Weor;
"Every morning before getting out of bed, with force and energy say, ‘We are strong. We
are rich. We are filled with luck and harmony. Om, Om, Om." Recite this every day and you will soon see that you will be prosperous in everything".

It works, and like everything, it is part of our karma. Send out positive and you will receive positive. Imagine seeing happy faces everywhere you go. Imagine that people are happy to see you coming. That people will cross the street to meet you. Wouldn’t that be a great place to be?

The Power of Small

This is good, so I am sharing it here with you... (Article used with permission.)

Routinely, I rise out of bed before the birds, and watch the sunlight flood my office every morning. See, I love this time of day! But what I don't love is being rudely rousted out of a deep sleep before my normal rise and shine time, and every day for the past few months I have been.

I sleep with the windows open, and at around 4:00 each and every morning, rain or shine, there has been this very obnoxious bird "somewhere" closeby screeching his mating call at what seems like 130 decibels! Many times I've wearily peered out to be able to witness first hand what sounded like a terodactyl-size creature on some kind of steroids. But never would this clever 'lil creature reveal himself!

I appreciate nature as much as the next person, but this large sound at this wee hour of the morning is not music to my ears! In one agitated state my fine-feathered foe put me in, I thought about locating a 'sportsman' in the neighborhood to take him out, but that was only wishful fantasizing. Besides, I don't believe in 'the sport of hunting.' By now though, I've gotten pretty used to my tree dwelling alarm and looking on the positive side of this situation, could even thank him for the extra hour of work I am able to put in every day.

One day last week, I was pounding away on my laptop on the front porch swing, when lo and behold - THAT PIERCING SOUND AGAIN! And it was NEAR! Imagine my surprise when after peeking out from under the canopy, perched on the telephone line above was this teeny weenie finch, smaller than my prized canary, warbling away what was really a beautiful anthem, at least heard at this normal hour of the day.

Oh my, the power of small!Now, may I ask: How many times in your life have you thought that you were "too small" to make a difference? How many times has this thought actually stopped you from doing something you knew in your heart was worthwhile? Perhaps something like changing careers, starting a new business, creating your own product or even buying that dream home. Like me, I bet plenty of times! Think about this. Every great achievement in this world had it's roots as a single thought in the mind of a single human being.

There's no exception - the greatest inventions, the biggest corporations and the tallest skyscrapers were all borne of the single idea of one individual! The difference between most of us and the Henry Ford's and Bill Gates of this world is the total self-belief and conviction in their ideas to just "build it!" No matter the size, no matter the scope, no matter the naysayers around them. And, knowing full well that the road to achieving their goal was going to be paved with major set-backs and failures.

Here's one of my favorite quotes about achievers:"There are some people who live in a dream world, and there are some who face reality; and then there are those who turn one into the other."Douglas EverettYou've heard many of the stories about the above 'icons' and people like Abraham Lincoln, Thomas Edison and Ghandi. Their journeys were filled with great adversity, devastating setbacks and yes, heartbreaking failures. But still, because of the sheer level of belief in themselves and what they set out to achieve, they were able to leave a legacy that today affects every one of us, every hour of every day. There are also the names you will never hear, unless you really look around at what is going on very near to you in your life. You are sure to know some of the millions of everyday people who have made magnificent differences in their lives and the lives of those around them.

Take for instance, the single mother who was reluctantly forced onto the welfare rolls due to a deadbeat dad, and pounds the pavement until she lands a job, determined to excel, and works her way up the ladder until she ends up with a wonderful career to the benefit of herself and her family. Or, the foreign medical student whose family sacrificed their entire lives in order to send their child to a 'free country' to get an education, who, through sheer determination graduates at the top of his class but decides not to chase the almighty big bucks that await him in the 'land of promise' but instead returns to his homeland so that he may help alleviate the dire suffering of the people in his native land.

Or, how about the countless entrepreneurs who have taken a single idea and no matter what obstacles they faced, and the many sacrifices they had to make, created successful businesses with products that impacted thousands or even millions of people! I am privileged to know SO many individuals who have accomplished great things only because of the great belief they had in themselves and their ideas.

As such, I firmly believe that EVERY human being, no matter where they believe they are at on this roller coaster ride we call life, CAN accomplish great things.As strange as this may seem at this time, I can tell you with all the sincerity I possess, that this great universe of ours awaits your simple and sincere decision, so that it can begin to fill you with all the power you need to make your dream a reality. It's a matter of truly making that decision and then opening yourself up to receiving that invisible assistance." The Creator has not given you a longing to do that which you have no ability to do." Orison Swett Marden.

Now back to my miniscule, winged friend. On cue, and still prior to daylight, he shakes me out of my peaceful slumber. He knows nothing else. No other way. He just cranks it up at enormous volume at nature's call, oblivious to the fact he is impacting me on a major scale and does the only thing he was designed to do. How we all should be, don't you agree?

Recipes of Life

Recipes of Life: Making Things Happen Without Manifestation

I have started seeing a lot of stuff about the subject of manifesting. There are articles, books, courses, and even a movie about it. I have read a few of the articles, and I have even watched the movie; I was seriously amused. These people were talking about what used to be called magick. (For reference a K was added by Aleister Crowley to discern between real magick and stage magic) The new gurus are missing a lot, and if they even know or not they are leaving out a lot of information.

Even today with all these scientific proofs that it works, people still misunderstand about magick. Some religions are to blame. It was a simple business decision, as they were eliminating their competition, but it has taken a deep hold…

I suspect that people are more afraid of the Inquisition than of actual magick. For people to take the bold step and admit to others that they believe in magick and even practice it, even today, is almost like facing death!

Sorry, I digress; back to the topic.

Magick is nothing more (and nothing less) than controlling your own life. The causing of something to happen according to your will. The use of magic can be compared to cooking or baking. When cooking you follow a recipe and take steps in a certain order to produce good tasting and edible food. Magick works the same way, except you are creating something else. Sure, it could be anything from a good luck charm to thunder storms, but it is the magik user’s will that causes it to happen.

Let me make a bit of a side-by-side comparison: when cooking a person decides what they want to eat. Now, that person finds a recipe for that item, then gathers the ingredients together. Next, that person mixes certain ingredients together, and mixes others finally mixing them all together. Some of the steps even call for removing some ingredients and so forth— Let us use the recipe for macaroni and cheese, a common dish.

You fill a pot of water and set it to boil, then gather noodles and cheese. In a separate pan, you slowly melt the cheese. When the water boils you add the noodles into the water. Watching the noodles, when they get soft to your taste you drain the water. When the cheese is liquid enough, stir it into the noodles. If you do not follow the simple steps you do not get something edible. (Some of the information is taken for granted like how to boil noodles, etc.…) Now if you were a novice cook it would seem like a tough recipe. For an experienced cook it is easy. A novice might not know how to melt cheese without burning it, and maybe not even know how to boil water; an experienced cook boils water without thinking and can melt cheese easily without burning, and so on.

If you experiment you can make slight variations like adding mushrooms or seasonings, but the basic recipe will always remain the same regardless of your experience level. If you boil the cheese and melt the noodles, it just will not work.

Magick use works the same way. When spell casting a person decides what they want to accomplish, and they find a recipe for it; they gather their ingredients, mixing certain ingredients together, and finally creating the final product. Again, a few steps may need the removal of some ingredients and so forth.

On that note, for an easy spell casting method, you can go to my web site staffofpower.com and sign up for the newsletter. You will receive a short course on casting a type of spell called a Sigil, since including a simple spell here would make this article too lengthy. (Seriously, you could write a whole book about any single spell.)

Spells work just like cooking recipes whether you believe or not, and everything follows certain scientifically proven principles. Water boils when a sufficient amount of heat is applied, and the universe responds when a sufficient amount of energy is applied. It is a simple skill to develop. Regardless of whether you are learning to cook or learning magick, the same amount of effort is required.

Belief helps, but is not a required ingredient. If you are making macaroni and cheese as long as you follow the recipe you end up with your dinner regardless of your belief. The same with magick; you can achieve the desired results.

So, how does all this lead to helping yourself? Well, let me explain without getting too long-winded: you simply follow the recipe. First you decide what you want; when you realize that you can have anything you desire it becomes a bit harder to narrow down what it is that you really want. Secondly, you find a recipe that covers it, and what you need to get it done. (Recipes and spells are practically the same thing.) Then, you follow the recipe and create what you desire. When you become more experienced, you create your own recipes as you understand what works and what does not. As you go you collect the recipes and are able to use them repeatedly, memorizing them and even using short cuts.

This can be used in all areas of life. If you want to be an athlete you find a coach who has the recipe and you follow it. If you want to be a lawyer you find a college that has the recipe and follow it. Step-by-step in a certain order, with certain ingredients, you can do anything. All things take a while to become reality, although some things are faster than others. Macaroni and cheese will take about twenty minutes to become reality, while becoming rich and famous may take a few years.

I leave you now to ponder this question—if magick is making things happen according to your will, then is cooking magick or is magick cooking?
