When one begins to study history, one thinks that there is a set body of information that you can read all of and grasp the depths of understanding, yet history is basically an illusion made up of stories and myths that change as soon as we discover something greater to expand our knowledge, which in turn, reshapes our world view and understanding of many things. Basically, if you study deep enough you will find that we truly know very little about our past and what we do know is in a constant flux of discovery and rediscovery. Yet, so much is lost, waiting to be rediscovered and reawakened. Each new discovery truly changes everything and we have to weed through the fact that most of recorded history is accounted to the Victors of each great physical, intellectual, and Spiritual battle and we are left to sift through the dust of these battles and find out what really happened and how did we get from that moment to now. So, in other words the quest to understand history is not some place we finally arrive but it is a quest of epic proportions that will encompass your entire life. If you are set in your desire to study the past be ready to be broken millions of times, mentally, spiritually, psychologically, as you walk upon your journey of discovery, you will be remade, reshaped many a times over. You must get beyond the fear of launching off into uncharted territory and beyond the fear of the fact that you really do not know as much as you think you do, but I do believe that each of us have in our heart's the deep questions; Where do I come from? Who am I? and where am I going? and it is this trinity of questions that fuels our quest.
If they say to you, 'Where do you come from?' Say, 'We come from the light; the place where the light first came into being...' If they say to you, 'Who are you?' Say, 'We are the children of the light and we are the chosen of the Living Father.' If they ask you, 'What is the sign of your Father in you? Say to them, 'Movement and rest'
Peace, Tim
