“There are three terms: Exoteric~which is the outer ring; Mesoteric~which is the middle ring; and Esoteric~which is the inner ring. Each of these three levels of knowledge and life and of connection has a different center of gravity. People who live in the exoteric worlds are people whose center of gravity internally has been formed by the pressures of life around them. So what is important for them is entertainment and sports and business and looking good and whatever the current cultural values happen to be. So there is no self-chosen action in them. You can also put the word “unconscious” with that.

The middle ring is the ring of arts, music, literature and the sciences, all of which spring from the core of truths of the esoteric worlds. Because, you understand, the great musicians and the great painters have been inspired by the mysteries of life~such as the mystery of nature and the mystery of the human being~they’ve produced great music or great literature or great art. Even the scientists today, who are virtually totally intellectual, have been gripped by the unknown~which is a fact, if you follow what I’m saying. That’s the mesoteric.

Now, the esoteric is the mystery and the power and the fact of life itself. When it is described, it is described in esoteric teachings~normally using such things as numbers or symbols to describe the actual living process of life itself. The occult is life. The esoteric is the only way in which a human can translate the occult knowably because, you see, a plant is an occult fact. Now, esoterically, by understanding the laws, you can explain it. And those kinds of explanations resound in all the great works of history.

….

Now one other thing that you’ve got to understand is that people who live in the esoteric have a center of gravity which is self-chosen and is chosen against the recognition of what the human being is for. The people who live in the mesoteric are partially self-chosen and partially caused. It also says the people in ordinary life can never deal with people who are developed. What they meet are other students who are already partly on their way.”

Now for those who you who continue to point fingers at me and call me oh so esoteric. That ain’t no fighting words. Keep dem comin’!

Regardless of how effective President-Elect Barack Obama will be in his tenure as the President of the United States of America, this is something we all should remember and earnestly act upon for the rest of our natural born lives.

“To those Americans whose support I have yet to earn, I may not have won your vote tonight, but I hear your voices, I need your help. And I will be your president too,” Obama said during his acceptance speech.

“This is our moment, this is our time to put our people back to work and open doors of opportunity for our kids. To restore prosperity and promote the cause of peace. To reclaim the American dream and reaffirm that fundamental truth that out of many we are one. That while we breathe we hope and where we are met with cynicism and doubt and those who tell us that we can’t…we will respond with that timeless creed that sums up the spirit of a people: Yes we can. Thank you. God Bless you and may god bless the United States of America.”

Personally I wish Sarah Palin would simply sit down and stop acting like a spoiled, brattish, whiney, loser. You are no longer the VP candidate, so sit down and shut up why dontcha?!

In any case, she says that bloggers are “kids in pajamas sitting in the basement of their parents’ homes.”

How dare she insult me. I don’t even wear pajamas.

I’m watching television now and saw a news clip where Palin is rather upset and states that folks took her NAFTA comments and Africa as a country or continent statements out of context.  She says that her comments about Africa regardless of it is a country or continent was taken out of context. Girlfriend! There you go again!

I just want to go on record as saying that Africa is a continent and is not a country.  It is the largest continent in the world!

She appears to still be clueless on this critical data fact even as she lashes out at those who criticized her in regards to geography.

Should I drop her a ringy-dingy? Maybe she was referring to “South Africa”…

She can always be ‘tutored’. LOL

Just thought I’d lighten up things with a tad bit of humor.

God Bless
