Hermetic Philosophy: Silence Speaks to Those with the Ears to Listen (A Spiritual Teaching from the Ancient Masters)

Silence speaks to those with the ears to Listen.

The wisdom of the Ancient Masters has been written and rewritten for aeons upon aeons. They have said:

"The lips of the Teacher are sealed to all but the Student whose ears are open to Listen."

Who is the Teacher?

Here is a wiser question, dear Seeker:

What is the Teacher?

And for that matter, whom or what is the Student?

The Teacher is unbound by form. It can appear in any form, in any moment — but only when the Student is present and ready to receive the Teaching.

And the Student, dear Seeker...

... is you.

Or, it can be you. But you must be open to the Teaching.

How does one open? How does one ready oneself, be present, and receive the Teaching?

This takes practice. You must practice. You must become receptive.

You must realize that you know nothing. You must begin again in every moment. You must let go of your notions of what you think you already know.

In that moment, when you are truly resolved in knowing that you know nothing of the secrets of this world, only then shall the Teacher appear.

And perhaps you are reading these words now because, deep in your being... you are ready.

Are you ready, dear Seeker...?

Only you know.

This is the Great Lesson of Ages: for the Soul to know when it is ready to learn the Truth.

The Truth is infinite and encompasses all. It contains, and is, and is of, All That Is. All of Existence is held within the Truth, and is the Truth.

In the Truth there is paradox. The Student must be willing to embrace All, even when this and that are completely polarized.

This polarization is merely apparent. No part of All That Is, is polarized in Truth, for all things exist as the One.

What appear to be two polarized aspects are, in Truth, two expressions of one aspect. And this one aspect, in turn, has its apparent polar opposite.

And so on and so forth, all polarities are infinitely unified in the One Truth.

This is the Great Work, dear Seeker: the reconciliation and unification of apparent opposites.

If you truly are a Student of the Teacher, you must be willing and able to reconcile the polarities within yourself. You must bring peace to all conflicts within you.

Only then will all conflicts in your world subside and dissolve into the infinite Peace of the One, Whole, Truth.

As Within, so Without.
As Above, so Below.

The lips of the Teacher open to the Student whose ears are ready to receive the Teaching.

For one who is not a true Student, these shall be merely words, words, words...

Your teacher,
Devin
