No man i didn't, did you?, I know gate crashing is out of the question 

Yes I did. About 50 questions for 2 hrs ( non-objectives). Focus was on BHP, Hydraulics, well control, casing design ECD etc etc

Okeyz,

Sup man, did you get the invitation from Chevron for the drilling engineer's skill test tomorrow?

Finally, I was offered admission to study Petroleum Engineering (M.Sc) @ TU Clausthal. Praise the Lord for me oh.

Congrats!

where is my friend cogitoErgo?

@ Justcool, I was reading a discussion between you and deepsight on a thread. You mentioned about Jesus, Imanuel and Parsifal.

I know Jesus is not Imanuel, is not Parcifal. Is Imanuel, holyspirit the comforter? What about parsifal? Is he the author of ''In the Light of Truth'' the son of man? Please clarify the differences among them for me. Thanks

Thanks for your questions.

God does forgive all sins through the mechanism of His laws, the Laws of creation. There is a law in creation that every action, word, or thought that an individual produces must in the end be returned to the individual. This is the law of reciprocal action; we see this law expressed in other words like, “Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.”

The words, thoughts, and actions that we produce are like the seeds which we sow, and which after ripening is returned to us; we test it whether sweet or bitter depending on the nature of that which we produced. Hence, it is not only limited to bad actions, bad words, or bad thought; even our good actions, words and thoughts are returned to us through the mechanism of the laws of creation. Just like a farmer who planted corn during the planting season must reap corn during the season of harvest; you cannot plant corn and reap rice.

Our actions, words, and thoughts, take on tangible forms in the beyond. Like magnets, based on the law of attraction of homogeneous species, they attract each other based on their nature, and accumulate on a plane corresponding to their weight; despite this, they remain attached to us, their producer. Hence in the beyond, planes result where all evil deeds are accumulated, and this plane is what people call hell. An individual who practices evil either through words, thoughts, or deed are attached to their forms, and since these forms are accumulated in hell, the individual will be drawn to hell when he passes over(when drops his physical body as in death); and there(in hell) the individual must reap what he had sown. Only when the individual have lived through these forms, either here or in the beyond, is he free from that particular form.

But as soon as an individual genuinely repents and asks for forgiveness; as an answer to this prayer, or the reciprocal effect of the prayer will link his spirit to a ray of light through which the strength to do only do will be given to him. In other words, the purity of his repentance, based on the law of attraction of homogenous species, will attract purity which will surround the individual. Such individual surrounded by purity, or whose aura is so radiant, the purity of his aura will afford him a protective layer. Just like the atmosphere protects the earth, the same way, the purity that radiates from his spirit, will protect him from the returning forms of evil which he created in the past. Just like a meteorite heading to the earth is broken to pieces by the earth’s atmosphere, reducing or completely annulling any devastating impact; the aura (environment) of such an individual will greatly mitigate or completely annul the effects of the bad karma returning to the individual. Hence the individual is severed from a tie without suffering, a tie that would have led him to hell. As long as he holds, steadfastly, on to his genuine repentance, gradually and one after the other, the cords that tie him to the evil forms of his past action will be broken until one day he becomes completely free of any tie to hell or evil. He has paid all his karma without much suffering due to his genuine repentance.

So the laws of reciprocal action cannot be annulled, none of the laws of creation can be annulled because behind them stands the Will and pressure from the Power of God. But good is stronger than evil, so the power of genuine repentance in man is strong enough to mitigate or reduce the harshness of the retuning reciprocal action. In some cases, depending on how deep the repentance is, an opportunity to pay for the karma by performing a good action is given to the individual; the individual pays for his karma through symbolic redemption. I will give an example: A killer who has repented may be given an opportunity to save a life, and by saving a life, he will be freed from his karma. On his way to school, he may meet a person drowning in a river; by jumping in and saving the life of the person, he has paid for the life he once took. In other words, out of the love of God, an opportunity is given to him to return what he once stole and hence balance the equation. The equation is balanced and the man goes free, freed from a karma that would have necessitated his death; yet the law of reciprocal action was not annulled or compromised.

Freed from such guilt, such a person on passing on(as in physical death), will not be drawn to hell. By practicing his good volition or by living according to the laws of God, he would have attained purity that would attract him to the luminous planes of purity; and he would have attained enough lightness that would allow him to float upwards to the luminous planes.

Hence repentance is very important, genuine repentance is the desire to live in the will of God and consequently achieve purity. It must come from the innermost being; it must be a volition of the spirit and not just an intellectual scheme to avoid suffering. Purity is very important, the purity of words, actions and thoughts. Only the purity from the radiation of the volition of the spirit can greatly mitigate the harmful effects of all material forms, including the forms of bad action, words, and thoughts. Forms resulting from the intellect, intellectual schemes are futile when it comes to mitigating the effects of a returning reciprocal action or obtaining forgiveness. Hence repentance has to come from within, not just from the brain.

One (a repented person) should never be afraid of what karma may return to him from his past action; as long as his repentance is genuine, from his spirit, he will be given a way to pay his karma without much suffering. But the law of reciprocal action will never be overthrown or annulled.

Here you see the necessity of repentance. An un-repented person is tied to many evil forms, and such a person cannot be lifted out of the worlds matter into Paradise. He has to sever or live through all the forms that he is tied to first. And as long as he is unrepentant, he is perpetually tied to matter and will not be able to leave the worlds of matter before the dissolution of the material worlds. For all material forms, including the earth, are transient; all material forms pass through the funnel of dissolution to be reborn again, the eternal cycle of birth, and death. Hence the unrepentant is trapped in the worlds of matter, and along with the rest of matter, will pass through the mills of dissolution, this will cause him pains of such magnitude that he will lose his consciousness and the personality he had developed so far. He will be crumbled to dust, back to an unconscious spirit germ; this is tantamount his name being erased from the book of life. All that was invested in him, and all that he has experienced so far, would be in vain, for his personality will be lost, and the spirit germ will return back to Paradise as an unconscious spark, exactly as it once left. This is the worst fate that can befall any spirit, spiritual death!

Hence man must exert all his strength to sever all ties to any material forms. Only through genuine repentance, which entails living in accord with the will of God can the individual achieve an everlasting personality, sever all unworthy ties to matter, and return back to Paradise as conscious spirit with a human form and a name.

I hope this helps; feel free to raise any issues you might have.

Thanks and remain blessed.

Thanks Justcool! May God bless you abundantly.

@ Ephisi, I guess you live in Lagos. Where can I get to buy vol 2 and 3 of the Grail Message?. I bought Vol 1 recently at Palms Shopping Mall, only vol 1 was displayed.

@ M_Nwakwo, You and Justcool's deep analysis of spiritual things, prompted me to buy the Grail Message Vol 1. So far, I have learnt a lot from the book. Especially, about keeping one's thought pure all the time. Something is yet unclear to me which I will like you to butress. The book says every sin/evil thoughts will be paid for herein or hereafter. If so, what is the essence of repentance and forgiveness of sin?. I think once we have asked God to forgive us our sins, they(the sins) will be deleted and there will be no need for atoning again? Thanks

Apart frm the spiritual teachngs, AMORC also teaches how to maintain the body in good physical condition, fo the physical conditn of a body is a direct indicatn of the health of the spirit in the body!
AMORC teaches against intake of stimulants such as caffeine, nicotine, etc. Smoking and drinking r not advised as they have various adverse effects on the physical. But, as t suld be noted, all teachngs of AMORC r simple advice wt logical reasons, thus many members still smoke and drink, fo instance, even though I dont smoke nor drink but I still take caffeine!
There is this infomation that Rosicrucians do not eat meat! I want to know your view on this before I say something on it.
I read mitchelin's coment and I agreed wt him! There s no need to go broke in search of enlightement. But in his post he seems to be saying that AMORC is a sect? I quite disagree wt this, AMORC does nt teach any religious doctrine, it is absolutely non-sectarian. Wether christian, muslim, budhist or whatever, you will always have somethng to learn frm AMORC. The only people that may not have any use fo AMORC are the Atheist, AMORC beleive in the existence of God!
To me personally, AMORC is a SCHOOL where life (both physical and spiritual) is taught in detail.

CogitoErgo,

Sorry for the belated response.

I do eat meat moderately. Hitherto, I haven't thought about the spiritual implication of doing so. What is the spiritual dimension to eating meat?

I will like you to share your view about cosmology, and how to tap into the enormous cosmic forces, for the betterment of humanity.

cogitoErgo:
What I can do is to discuss various aspects of life as I personally understand it based on what I had learnt!

Ok. I am all ears on this. Let's go!

CogitoErgo,

Thanks for the detailed response. I fully understand your explanation.

Soul traveling naturally by dreams are unconscious and without formal procedure - that's how our creator, I opined, wants it at this material plane.

Soul traveling, among other soulsperience, as practised by AMORC, are obtained by conscious procedures, steps, chanting, etc. These, in my opinion, are artificial, un-natural and unwanted. What do you think about the forced soulsperience?

However, can you start discussing the monographs, right from the neophyte section, can you?

Remain blessed, as always.

CogitoErgo,

Thanks for the response. You agreed, from your response, that the essence of earth birth/re-birth,among others, is for spiritual purity. Showing genuine love to other mankind and to our creator is key to spiritual purity.

Do you agreed, do you not, that joining any esoteric organisation,is not necessary to attaining spiritual purity, do you not?. In other words, spiritual purity transcends any religion, organisation, sect, philosophy,etc,etc.

So, why do you think joining AMORC add value to our sojourn on earth? In my humble, and limited opinion, joining any esoteric organisation, exposes the soul to undue, unnecessary influences from the beyond. Soul, eventually, after successful exploit on this material plane,will progress to the next plane. So why bother it, on this plane, with experiences, such as soul travel, telepathy etc. What do you think?

CogitoErgo ,

What's AMORC/your personal view about life after death and re-incanation?

Inspired, 2003--Infinity QX4 and 2002 Infinity QX4, I am also interested

PLEASE , If u have an offer u can go ,

its just that i have friend who works there as a drillling engineer , he left there for baker hughes, reason?, salary slash!!, after the company was taken over by the diminutive chinese !, even my  guy that was their category manager who taught me supply chain managment, left for guinness for the same reason,

well i dont want to sound pessimistic, you shud take the offer but inquire for the industry salary scale for the post u r taking , if its below, it's not worth it ,but if u r looking for experience u can go for it , unless u r  an experienced professional

its just my personal opinion though, from what i heard addax doesnt seems to be wat it used to be.

but give it a shot, the drilling industry is a dynamic one, drillers are always in demand.

Muncho Gracio!!! In already, so far, so good.
