Hidden in plain site & found WITHIN
The truth will set you free, but you have to do all the work. 
Direct Experience is the only true teacher

With the Equinox let us transmute that which holds us back. Move from Darkness into Light. With meditation and the guidance of the most high may we transcend the illusions in place to reveal truth in its highest form. Seek to BE, to embody the virtues of Compassion, Charity, Love & Light. As Above, So Below. So mote it be ∞

You are yourself, indeed the ALL, fragmented so to speak, within the world of matter, a piece of the whole, a spark of God consciousness, experiencing itself as a Human Being. The veil of separation held up by only the Ego. Consciousness creates all reality, for Consciousness is the only reality. All things - All manifest reality , seen and unseen - emanate from God, let us call this the ultimate, the source of all things - which creates all reality, by the direction of will, thought and intention. God is Love, it is we who in our fragmented consciousness fall, into matter to attempt to remember where we come from. It is the Ego, the inherent need to protect and control that blinds most from that which sets one free. The Truth that lays waste to all illusions.

This is why I speak to them in parables: 'Though seeing, they do not see; though hearing, they do not hear or understand.' Matthew 13:13

As examples let us touch upon a few things only, I would like to use the teachings of the master teacher known as Jesus. We must for a moment let our intuition guide us, set aside our preconceived ideas and open ourselves to something more, possibility....

Truth is felt, it is know within the Heart, there is no "maybe that is true" , because it is FELT in the very fiber of your being. We must step back from the literal and Ego driven dogma created by Religion, by man to explain the spiritual, usually for control (Ego). This viewpoint , of stepping back from the merely ego driven aspect which deems that you are separate from the creator / source , from God.

This is inherently and fundamentally wrong on all levels, and stems from fear, all though I suspect, at the top of the Religious pyramid there are those who do in fact KNOW the truth and conceal. But again, that is merely Ego as well, and can not last because consciousness is always creating, and the pillars built by Ego are crumbling under the weight of their own hypocrisy.

For the esoteric , higher sense of awareness let us not interpret as do the vehicles of Religion dictate, but instead hear and listen to the ever clear words of the man the Religion was supposedly created around. God manifests through all things because God is all things.

For the Truth is plainly spoken. Let there be NO confusion as to anything other than what is implied,
some understanding of consciousness is necessary. For if we are able to sense beyond what we are told to believe without testing it via direct experience. The true meaning can only be grasped this way, when critical & conscious thinking is applied

"THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN IS WITHIN YOU."

"The Kingdom of God is inside/within you (and all about you), not in buildings/mansions of wood and stone. (When I am gone) Split a piece of wood and I am there, lift the/a stone and you will find me."

“But seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness,” he declared, “and all these things shall be added unto you” (Matthew 6:33)
“The kingdom of God does not come with observation; nor will they say, ‘See here!’ or ‘See there!’ For indeed, the kingdom of God is within you” (Luke 17:20-21).
"I and the Father are one." John 10:30

"Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? The words that I say to you I do not speak on my own authority; but the Father who dwells in me does his works." John 14:10

"Very truly I tell you, the Son can do nothing on his own, but only what he sees the Father doing; for whatever the Father does, the Son does likewise. The Father loves the Son and shows him all that he himself is doing; and he will show him greater works than these, so that you will be astonished." John 5:19 - 20

"Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do, he will do also; and greater works than these he will do; because I go to the Father.

If we are to take from other sources, let us consider the Nag Hammadi Library and a couple notable passages 

The Gospel of Thomas is very telling, and straight forward, as it is believed these are the Esoteric teachings of Jesus to his Disciples / Initiates who sought to understand higher consciousness
http://gnosis.org/naghamm/gthlamb.html 

and also here, the discourse of the 8th and the 9th, very Hermetic in Nature, correspondence and polarity explained very well regarding reality

The paradox of consciousness, in the esoteric sense, is that the problem is really with human perspective. From a higher level of understanding there is no "right or wrong" in the world. Morality and Ethics are subjective to human definition and emotional state at the time of acting or reacting without them under the control of the will, while divine law , the law of compensation and exchange, cause and effect are unbreakable. There are lessons, on individual and collective levels that are to be learned or experienced in order to evolve from one level of awareness , the lower realms of consciousness concerning the self, and instinct to a higher awareness of consciousness, beyond the physical, embodying the spiritual nature .

All evil comes from within man himself. From the immersion of consciousness into the dense state of matter forgetting where it emerged from Divinity. The "Fall" as some call it. The Hermetic & Universal Law of Polarity describes this. For one to grasp the spiritual nature of things is to accept full personal responsibility for all thoughts and actions that we act on. We are responsible for our reactions, ruled by emotions or fear, that separate us further from source and from ourselves. The ancient axiom, Know Thyself, was taught throughout the mysteries concerning philosophy and higher consciousness. To know the secrets of the universe one must come to know themselves, fully, this is to know both Good and Evil within themselves. And to transmute those passions, lusts, temptations - the demons that seek control over the material & carnal nature of man. To understand and to act accordingly, in cooperation with divine law, is the way. The Right thing is known because it is the truth, the way and the light, born of agape, divine love. There is one way to do all things, when this is discovered, well the doors once locked are thrown open to he who knows the secret word. The senses expanded beyond what most can imagine within the boxes we humans try to stuff all thought. The Right thing is compassion, peace, truth, oneness. All else is created through separation from source / god, and that ignorance usurps its control over ego, imprisoning the soul within the mortal vessel.

Then there is that truth which sets one free. The holy of holies , knowable only by doing the work all who enter that path must do. The Great Work, to come to understand who and what we are, where we come from and how to unite the 2 as 1, here and now. The Alchemy of the soul, to turn the mirror inward, shed the illusions of self and ego, to seek the mysteries knowable through direct experience only, by the ever calling inward journey and unrelenting trials and tribulations to test ones true self, to become soul conscious and to rise to our destiny.

Let me ask a question, or rather make a final point regarding the state of things in this country / world, an observation that if you stick with it to the end, and apply intuition, well.... and I know so many might, will take offense but here it goes. I did not support Trump or Clinton because I see clearly through the Lies, corruption and hypocrisy of the illusion of the 2 party divide and conquer system. I did not even support Sanders, because that version was not right either. Big money and power bought both parties long ago, and its not a conspiracy, but a reality, of special interests in positions of power abusing both. Neither choice we are ever offered is truly a good person. The man who just left office? Obama, was not a good person either - He was responsible last year alone for dropping 26,000 bombs, but hey give that man a peace prize. The economy "got better" , unemployment "went down" yet we added $10 Trillion to the over all debt this country is in. The Bush war policies were continued , then watered down, but ultimately grew bigger under him. But we had "prosperity" a little more right? People gained more "rights" but the Government does not have the right to make personal freedoms a political issue, unless of course, you are not free..

 Now, with all that corruption in place, so many divided between the party line, drawn in chalk on the playground of the Republic that once was, now a "Democracy" run by 51% telling the rest to accept what is dished out every 4 to 8 years to keep the masses distracted enough to realize they are being played. Everyone is and has been being played for years. While out at Standing Rock in Dakota, we have human beings, peaceful and unarmed against a pipeline of oil, sure to leak as they all, being assaulted with "non lethal" weapons over preserving clean water. Use your brain and think. We have each sold part of our soul if we in the face of all the truth and knowledge available to us, at our fingertips, we have fallen for the make believe differences we use to separate us from ourselves, All the things that make us unique, are used to divide and create fear. Us vs Them, when in fact it is all inclusive, all or none, not just some...

The point is lost on those without the ability to apply critical thinking, personal responsibility and an understanding of consciousness that doesn't neatly fit into the box of personal beliefs sold to us since birth. The pillars of this society built on manipulation to suck the very power out of you like vampires waiting for the night, ready to pass around the collection plate, a list of rules, but for them its do as I say, not as I do.... Illusions sold by a system and by those with stock dividends to collect, a vested interest in the very things we see today, Being the normal chaos humanity has come to expect...the wars, the fear, the huge profits but bigger debts, hourly wages that seem to always stay the same, benefits that keep rising, but go back to sleep, go back to work...everything is under control....be sure to vote and pay your taxes now, all of this of course being the product of progress, business and in this 21st century digital dream that most are lulled so easily asleep..

I do not mean this as a jab in anyway, we were all programmed and brought up within the same system. Some of us see through the separation it causes and seek unity. Peace. Love. Truth. Oneness. I love this planet, this human experience, the possibilities of so many realities yet we stand on the brink of extinction events while most aimlessly walk around, not even looking where they are going, staring at a personal computer screen, vicariously watching the world, or being distracted and entertained by Music, and Movies glorifying the very decay and psychosis of the human spirit in 3D techno color...living life through a haze of reality TV.....

Or we have a choice. The ability to transcend the chaos and find the center. Those who know, well there are no words that will do here. We always have a choice, and that choice is always the ever present now, oneness, the opportunity for change, for peace, for light & love & truth to shine like the sun upon your face.

Let love be the driving force behind all you do. Do not let your Ego and illusions convince you to passively accept the world around you as the best we humans can do. We are capable of so much more, We each have power that if you understood even a fraction of it your life would be changed in an instant...deep down, everyone of us knows, buried under all the shit no one likes to talk about. We are each responsible, for everything we do in this world. It matters. It has a far reaching effect beyond what most "think"...

Sunday, November 13, 2016

If we want peace we must manifest peace within ourselves. If we want love we must Transmute the hate within our mind. We must unite the opposites within ourselves. If we want truth then we must turn the mirror inward. Know Thyself. 

We are all reflections of each other, of the source taking its many forms in which to experience and to help nudge those who seem to be asleep.....to remember, to nudge the awakening, the unveiling of truth in its highest form. That which most do not remember in their current state. It is merely a shift in perception that is needed to see the Mystery in all its Glory. We are ONE. 
The only separation is that which exists in your mind.

Always find the inner light 🌞💓🌞Illusion of Choice in the Land of Make Believe... and people look at you funny when you talk about Consciousness. This world is upside down and side ways and every single one of us is pretending to keep our shit together. Keep putting one foot in front of the other when deep down you know its the Matrix out there and you thank God you learned how to navigate to certain degrees, or so you think..... onward. Don't ever look back, that is regret and we are each fully, 100% personally responsible for every word and action we allow to manifest, there is no way around this law, and do not look forward into the future which is unwritten , for that is where anxiety comes from, and YOU can only make the change you wish for in the here and now. Instead find what you are good at, Create the world YOU want for yourself , leave all the naysayers and fears in the dust, in the here in now we are in control, pay no mind to the illusions of control that fight so hard to steal your mind and your soul in this world. We all have good days, we all have bad days, but to realize what we are capable of is a blessing that frees us from that mindset of scarcity, lack, fear, All of the shit that is projected at us each day through all the different sources, in so many forms, That is normal in this world, everyone deals with it in some way. Just have to remember not to get stuck there. Always doing your best to remember what you learned along the way and always find that light deep within that is truth in its purest form... rise above and fly instead. ∞

We are so much more than merely human, merely living in this world bent to the will of the "way things are".... people think "The Secret" and these other movies and gimics and trends are mind blowing, or "truth" news and memes or whatever it may be are... and in a way they are, small pieces to the puzzle of unlocking Consciousness and understanding the all inclusiveness of the mystery we wish to unravel. Yet most will never take the personal responsibility and applied action required to prove it and bring about real change, real awakening through direct experience, or really test the theories enough that they so desperately want to believe in. Why not? What is the use of simply parroting mantras and the like if you will not do the hard work necessary to transcend mere belief or wishful thinking into Direct Knowledge. The entire universe of information literally at our finger tips in this day and age, there has never been a more opportune time to be alive and we have within us the ability to unlock the universal storehouse of abundance and happiness, beyond what most can only imagine or day dream of. We are as a species starting to understand the unsustainable path we find ourselves on, the struggle most are subjected to, living in a shadow of what life is meant to be. To be or not to be I suppose..... lets get down and Philosophize about creating solutions and how shifting our consciousness / awareness & directing our will / vision we can actually create the very life we wish for but always seem to fall short of.... it is all created by our Thoughts, this is the foundation, the cornerstone is the Imagination, the discarded element we are told to leave behind so we may "grow up" and become another obedient clog in the machine, waiting for change or some savior to come in some form outside of ourselves....that change will never come, because we ourselves, well, We are that Change. And I know many of you reading this understand exactly what I am saying. It transcends the divide and conquer mentality of the old system, and appeals to the soul, beyond what we are told to believe by the Organized religion / government / chaos driven illusions of control we accept as truth in these strange days, I hope one day all of you do...most don't start to "get it" until the end of life...but to realize this now, that is the key. The grand unifier of all things is Wisdom, divine in nature, undeniable in its essence. As Above, So Below. ∞ The Hard Work is worth it, I promise you that, the pain is worth it, the realization that comes is beyond anything that can be put into words

Tuesday, August 23, 2016

Do good in the world. If you have abundance in some way and are able to share that to make a positive impact then do it when you are able. There is a difference between helping those who can help themselves but do not understand they are creating their own "lack" or more of what they "do not want", and those who truly need the help. We draw to ourselves , in unlimited potential from the universal storehouse. The only lack truly exists in our minds, it only manifests in the physical when we affirm over and over again that we lack, or we want what we do not have, etc, etc, etc. Struggle is in place to teach us lessons, pay attention to those, is the same thing repeatedly popping up over and over again? Pay attention, where your mind goes, the energy flows, and that will manifest in many ways, always giving us what we need in order to learn the lesson and to transcend a certain way of thinking. Because as all our "problems" are mental , created by thought, so is the Universe and it responds in accordance with our thoughts! Really it is all perception. Those with eyes will see..... those who blindly grasp for truth without understanding, by casting aside the corner stone of imagination can not see or perceive that which they do not know or deny because of ego or pain. We draw to ourselves drama, chaos, disease of mind and body, and so forth only when we are ignorant to the that which is always trying to show us the way. Silence the mind and close the eyes and SEE where all of it originates....within. Have an excellent week. BE the change you wish to see, now go out and create, put it to the test, direct experience is the only way as it eliminates all illusion or mere belief in something unkown to ones self. Know Thyself ∞ 
As Above, So Below

Thursday, August 04, 2016

All of the study, reading and knowledge in the world is but nothing if not put to the test. The Direct experience is the key, the raising of consciousness by directing the will, for all else is but tales of wonder until the mystery is unveiled for thy own minds eye. The work is necessary, this is the way of Transmutation and Evolution. Explore the innermost realms of consciousness within the Temple where the One resides. This is the only way. Truth revealed leaves no room for obscurity to remain. ∞ As Above. So Below.

A talk given by Michael Eggleston (https://www.innervisioncrystals.net/) at Pandora Healing in Hawthorne NJ http://pandoraheal.com/

This is the first time I have given a public talk on this topic so I was a little nervous. Made a couple errors but quickly corrected them. Thank God for bullet points. There are edit breaks (recorded in 20 min. sections) the last part was not recorded because we ran out of Batteries. Sorry. Next time ∞ Should have expanded on certain things a little more, like Monoatomic Gold, and what I meant by New age foo, mainly the marketing of most of these products by modern day snake oil salesmen, there are a few I would not discount, but again, it all comes from within, no magic pill or drops or short cuts to the Stone of the Philosophers....

Bullet points for the 7 steps of Alchemy taken from Alchemy : Secreats Revealed by Luxor Media as this was the best and most condensed explanations available to use.

3 Things can not long be Hidden..
The Sun,
The Moon,
and The Truth ∞


Monday, June 20, 2016

Happy Solstice to all Humanity. This is a time for elevating our consciousness to that of truth. Seek within and you will find the grandest treasure one could imagine. It is time for humanity to awaken to its true nature. Won't you join us? Blessings in love and light.

Tuesday, June 14, 2016

Practice random acts of kindness, see yourself in others, and others in yourself. 
Look out for your brothers and sisters.
We are all ONE.
Ignorance is a choice. 
Love is the most powerful thing in this world.

Monday, May 23, 2016


The balance is to be found within the chaos. Life, creation is constant. The outer world a collective vision of ALL, yet one. It is infinite in expression and speaks clearly through nature, the operations of the law displayed in such perfection for all with eyes to see. Know Thyself. Seek the mystery of mysteries in silence within the temple of the living God. Transmutation, the fires within that bring forth or destroy. Refine and separate that which is the gold we seek. The emotions must be conquered, each one in their place, along with the Ego and the carnal desires. They are servants, if they are to become masters then all is lost. The way is clear, ever refining and learning. Love is the way. ∞

A good video explaining Alchemy,  the music could be different, none the less, it is informational and gives insight...

Behold the mystery of mysteries
The peacocks tail unfolds in a glory of illuminated rainbow brilliance.
We are beings of light. Fall on your face and give thanks,
for it is a blessing to be made manifest in the flesh. 
Undeniable Realization, the Transmutation of the lower to allow the integration of the above and the below as ONE. This is The goal of Alchemy and of the Prophets, of Christ and the Buddha and all those who have come before. The Spiritization of matter and to become conscious of our Divine origins. Rejoice for you are immortal, you are in a dream of sorts within a dream, to awaken and to be reminded is a blessing. Go forth and spread the light in all actions.

So mote it be. So it is.

One of the Secrets to Life (Hermetically "The Universe is Mental") - Take full personal responsibility for every word, thought and action you allow to manifest. No one else is to blame, for your reaction or actions. The world does not owe you a living, or anything, nor does any other human being (except respect). The Governments, the people, the enemy, the friend, no one is to blame for your station in life. You are responsible for that. In truth, circumstance and environment have very little to do with anything concerning advancement and success in life. Happiness comes from within and and is not dependent on material objects or possessions acquired.There is in fact no separation from the Universe / God / Nature or any scarcity, lacking of abundance (enough to do what needs to be done) except that which you perceive in your mind. The entire universe, is, in fact...mental, The All is mind. Shift your perception, thoughts, understandings about what you think you know. It is all a shift in consciousness, all of life is, shifting, becoming, remembering. And we are each so much more than most can even begin to imagine ∞

And so it is, that we on the Alchemical path realize the cycles & lessons which we refine through the process of transmutation. Love is the key to the Mystery of producing the stone. Love is the law by which the most ancient of ancients bestowed the hidden faculties and potentialities in man. When we are hardened through the chaos of the illusion , the material world & the injustices we see towards our fellow beings and the planet , it can become a stepping stone or a can bring us to squander what we are in search of. We must properly distill these emotions and their connections to the experiences and the perceptions of what is and what is not, love, truth & reality and lack of love, fear, that which destroys and confuses. 

Be in the world, but not of it. 

Take notice, that once the realization of the I AM and the manifestation by the direction of will is known, we must remain vigilant against distractions, to maintain this LIGHT, to bring it forth fully from within. We are capable of such great things, it is from within, that the mind and the will directed from the heart miracles are brought forth. And by this Wisdom we create from the spiritual energies  by thought to the material world. There are but many levels of this and many examples but those who know do not need to repeat such trivial things here. The message is Love. Find the center within, go within the pain, fear and the carnal mind / ego to heal it from within by the divine Fire and forgiveness. Transmute the lesser and bring forth that which is deemed GOLD. Surrender all that which does not serve us, so that the higher self, the illuminated consciousness reigns as King of the Temple.

So mote it Be ∞
This is part of what I wrote from a Conversation with a Friend regarding the Political disease that infects this world....

"You are right, really all Government in this modern world of ours is already Tyranny, dress it up however you like but it has been here for 100 years since the inception of the Central Banking control, etc. Its only in place because we have been lead to believe it is necessary and that we are incapable of governing ourselves because a small group of people figured out how to manipulate the mass consciousness. You are also right, Enough is Enough, but unfortunately 90% of the people are fast asleep, and they have been programmed to believe in the Left vs Right Illusion , and every other facet of organized society , from Religion to the Media to the corporations, because it gives them everything they need. They do not realize they are enslaved or asleep, they think they make their own decisions, etc. But they do not. No change can come from a system set up to be rigged without EVERYONE seeing it for what it is, no more divide and conquer, no more D or R or left or right or any of these labels that have been sold to us in order to separate and divide us. This brings us back to why? Its all to help us wake up brother, this is a spiritual battle, until each person sees through the illusion and realizes that greater truth themselves then we will continue to do this, year after year/ All the in fighting, revolution, etc none of these things will change anything. The same things will pop back up in short time and we are back where we began. Because the problem is not one of politics. It is a problem of Consciousness, and the problem can not be solved with the same level of thinking that created it. Its illusion brother. The work of evil men to attempt to control something over which there is NO control. I speak only from experience. I have found a way to transcend the old way of thinking, which all men are endowed with - I dont buy into the system or give it my energy. I have created a way to be successful and to free myself from the confines of scarcity and lacking and the fear mindset that we are bombarded with. And every single human being on this planet can and will eventually do the same thing, realize the WAY, When we free our minds from the illusion of fear other "men" attempt to dictate then we realize that the only thing in this world that will shift any of this is love. The Realization of our oneness to each other, this planet, and our creator. Until this happens then more of the same is what we will get. Its a circus. It only has impact on your life as much as you allow it to and only impedes what you want out of life so long as you acknowledge it has any real power over you. It is beyond the physical brother."
