Scintillating Intelligence
The combination of intelligence and spirit should be defined here, as not only something that is within you but also around you.
You might look at it as a nervous system in where all sensations are interconnected wherein many different functions are being stimulated simultaneously.
It could also be compared to the atmosphere of the planet. Which can be seen as one thing but also broken down into layers of separate activity from top to bottom wherein millions
of simultaneous occurrences are being affected and yet from a physical view (from space) it seems calm and nearly motionless.
When one considers the Spirit of the Essence this would be the first thought. Spirit comes from the Latin spiritus meaning: breathe and also "soul, courage, vigor".
Being. Essence=that which is. Or IT.
The English word "essence" comes from the Latin essentia, which was coined (from the Latin esse; "to be") by ancient Roman scholars in order to translate the Ancient Greek
phrase to ti ēn einai (literally, "what it is for a thing to be"), coined by Aristotle to denote a thing's essence: It's being.
To Scintillate is to sparkle or flash. Having direct focus/meaning concerning light itself.
A spark. Flash of light. This would need to be carefully considered as to this appears in and affects the conscious mind.
All this can also be seen in the beginning of the most popular book on the planet. The Bible.
Where it basically states that there was first darkness and void then there was a being then the voice moved across the waters.
The being has to be assumed. what could have a voice if nothing existed with a voice then it wouldn't speak. Let there be light.
Here we have, first of all, a representation of a thing in the darkness.
Intelligence. Intelligence itself is being separate from darkness and the waters.
In between, the Intelligence and the water, the voice moved (another implication being air). How do you speak without moving air?
Projected from the initial essence. God. And it said. Spoke. Verbalized-breathed.
Let there be light. Thus, the written representation dealing in the creation of the physical manifestation of light itself, as created by a spirit, or thing.
Stand on Earth any given day and look. What do you see? You will see the ground below you. The Sun is above you. The Air is between.
Go into or stand near, the water and now you have the alignment of the four magical natures literally. Form above to below. Fire-Air-Water-Earth.
This is actual physical evidence of what is. This is called an axiom. An unchanging stable datum. What's called a relative constant.
If you already own volumes on magic take a moment to see how these elements are aligned within those volumes. What you'll find is a different alignment in the order.
There are commonly differences. But can you see the truth looking directly at what is?
An author named Crowley wrote "The Book of Lies" directing the attention to the fact that all we survey in the physical universe is an illusion and that these illusions dissuade us
from actual spiritual truth.
This makes some very good points and is an excellent work in confusing and misleading the unworthy away from a path of power.
His viewpoint like many others in secret orders was obvious. That if you can be, mislead, then you deserved to be confused.
I take a more evidence=truth approach. What do you actually see? Here and now. What that is. What IT is, is what, I call truth.
I believe you should as well. It works. I'm sure you've heard the statement. If it works don't fix it. What is proven? What's actually evidenced?
This is what I equate as fact.
This may seem overly simplistic but in the working of nature it's extremely important that you have these alignments correctly set in your conscious mind.
This proper setting gives you a starting point. Focal point. A center.
If you can't locate or hold your center, there's no way that you can control anything else. Certainty is stability.
If you're unsure the Sun is above you, during the day, I'm not even going to try to convince you. Put the book down and step away from the subject. This is not your path to take.
From this certainty you gain a vantage point. It's from this point where you'll direct all of your knowledge towards whatever means you've decided to direct it.
This is the beginning this is the first step this is the Zero. It appropriately associates with the zero degree and 360 degree as the setting in the temple.
Which can also be seen from the perspective of forward, front, ahead or East. Another way to look at things may be helpful from a spiritual standpoint.
Imagine that you are floating in space and have an item that you want to move from one spot to another.
Say a chair. If you're not stable or grounded it only appears that you're moving the chair but you're not actually moving anything (In relation to a fixed point).
It is, more likely, moving you. Maybe you can pick it up or maybe you only pull yourself towards it.
But still, to place it where you want it to be you need stability, grounding and a fixed location for your applied force to have any directed/desired effect.
