Inner Divine Presence in All Life
The Ageless Wisdom provides guideposts to help you create a better life for yourself and for humanity. This Wisdom is often described as the golden thread that connects the inner, hidden teachings at the heart of the world’s religions, East and West. It’s referred to as the “Perennial Philosophy” because it’s been present on earth in some form since the beginning of recorded history. Rather than demanding belief in dogma, the Ageless Wisdom takes a more scientific approach. It presents hypotheses to apply in your daily life and test for their truth, as only those truths tested and applied in your own experience have meaning and bear fruit.
Principles, as presented here, are embodiments of truth to which your soul or inner essence responds, giving a clear, inspiring direction to your life. Each principle is linked to a law, which is its outer expression or manifestation.
Essential Divinity is the principle that recognizes the Divine Presence in every person--regardless of race, age, gender, culture or religion—and in all life on the planet. Awareness of this Presence opens you to participation in a Life greater than your own. Inner Divinity is the fundamental, universal energy or life underlying all forms on earth--the omnipresence of God/Spirit—God Immanent. The inner revelation of this principle illuminates your relationship to the One Life and your interdependence with all parts of that greater Whole.
Over the temple of Delphi in ancient Greece was written, “Man, know thyself and thou shall know the universe and the gods.” In the ancient Hindu scripture, The Bhagavad Gita, Krishna said, “Having pervaded the universe with a fragment of Myself, I remain.” Buddha proclaimed, “Look within: thou art the Buddha” and St. Paul wrote in the Bible about “Christ in you the hope and glory.” Although revealed in all the world’s scriptures, today there is a far more widespread recognition of this inner Divine Presence in all life, whispering in your ear: Be still and know that I am God.

Yes Bernie . . . . . . present in all life . . . This quote, copied from Karin . . .
Love all that has been created by God, both the whole and every grain of sand. Love every leaf and every ray of light. Love the beasts and the birds, love the plants, love every separate fragment. If you love each separate fragment, you will understand the mystery of the whole resting in God.
Fyodor Dostoevsky

"'The Earthly Mother and I are one. Her breath is my breath; her blood is my blood; her bone, her flesh, her bowels, her eyes and ears, are my bone, my flesh, my bowels, my eyes and ears. Never will I desert her, and always will she nourish and sustain my body.' And you will feel the power of the Earthly Mother flowing through your body like the river when it is swollen with rains and courses mightily with a great noise." - from THE ESSENE GOSPEL OF PEACE
