I had a couple of dreams recently regarding the value of ancient wisdom.
A Dream unexamined

Letter from God

2 Dreams
- I’ve bought and sold many collectibles in my real waking life. In the first dream a serious collector, or dealer, gives me 2.5 times my asking price for a collectible oddity; a traditionally wrapped mummy preserved in the lotus position. The mummy in this dream symbolizes ancient spiritual wisdom. (As it turns out that there are actually several ancient mummies in the world preserved in the lotus position. They must have been saintly men.)
- In the second dream I’m fascinated by a large antique bookcase filled with precious leather-bound antique books. I pull one down and open it up to find an ample amount of collectible antiquated paper currency pressed between the opening pages. I show it to the owner and she nods that she knows it’s there. Now knowledgeable too, I close the book and reshelve it.
Both dreams are about the significant value of ancient knowledge and wisdom.
Do I know any ancient wisdom? I’ve sought for spiritual truth more than many, and probably most, people. It’s possible that I’ve genuinely come across some ancient wisdom that’s worth imparting.
Consequently…
Lesson One
ONENESS
After the primordial Law of Procreation and Law of Survival and abreast of the known and unknown Laws of Physics the most primary Universal Law is the Law of One.
The subject of wisdom isn’t taught in schools but it’s an elementary lesson:
Wisdom = Oneness
Wisdom is just that simple yet that expansively profound. If you understand oneness you understand it all.
“The first lesson for six months should be One-One-One-One; Oneness of God, Oneness of man’s relation, Oneness of force, Oneness of time, Oneness of purpose, Oneness in every effort- Oneness- Oneness!” – Edgar Cayce Reading 900-429
The Oneness of time can be challenging to grasp. Time is said to be happening all at once and when you make spiritual progress in this lifetime you make related similar progress in your past lifetimes. Our life lessons contract in this manner until our return to God will appear to have all taken only a moment.
Exercise 1 – Oneness
Contemplate ‘Oneness’, as in the Edgar Cayce quote above, for 6 months
Meditation is an excellent way to contemplate Oneness of Consciousness and contemplating Oneness while jogging in nature can amplify it via a hard-pumping heart, lungs, arms, legs, epinephrine, endorphins, momentum and literal inspiration.
The Whole Ancient Wisdom Curriculum:
- The Universal Laws and related…
- Fruits of the Spirit and…
- Gifts of the Spirit
But if you ‘get’ Oneness, you get a whole lot.
