Activating the Fire Within

August 6, 2014

An Update:

I’m sure by now many of you are wondering what happened to me. A few months ago I announced that I was moving from Allen to Fort Worth. I was able to get my house sold within a relatively short period of time, however the purchase of the second house proved to have some delays in it that will test the patience of any sane or otherwise person out there. No matter what was attempted, the delays were unbelievable.

If you’ve ever been on Highway 395 in the California desert just east of the Sierras behind seven or eight motorhomes going up a grade and there is no passing for 30 miles, you might be able to relate some the things were happening around here.

I am happy to announce, that on June 23 the deals made and everything closed. I’ve ended up with a beautiful place overlooking the lake where every morning when I drive out to work Beethoven’s Pastoral Suite is an appropriate piece of music reflecting the beauty I see in front of me.

On a more personal note I would like to express my appreciation for some kind thoughts and words that have come my way, and they’re very much appreciated.

For the most part while I’ve been isolated primarily because of uncertainties, I’ve been in the process of developing some interesting projects including online classes, and workshops. I also have the space to do some of the Egyptian Temple and other classes here in the main dining room. Additionally as far as the private work, I have an office completely separate from the rest of the living quarters downstairs.

Now as many of you know, Fort Worth is relatively large. However, lucky for me, I am on the east side of town about 2 miles west of 820 and about 4 miles east of downtown Fort Worth off Highway 30.

Now that things have settled down, I’m planning to get back in the practice of the weekly letters, and when appropriate send out announcements associate with classes and other events that may be happening in the area.

And, while I’m thinking of it, I have another task upon my table. I have been using Microsoft FrontPage for the last 11 years for my website development. I have known for the last five years, that because of security concerns many of the websites providers will no longer be supporting the Microsoft FrontPage extensions. Today I discovered that the switch was turned off. So over the next week or so I will be bringing myself up to speed on the standards-based HTML editing system where I will eventually completely rebuild the websites, adding in a few extra goodies including an online booking system.

If you have any requests or questions, while the websites are still working, please use the form to submit them to me directly and I’ll do my best to answer your questions within a day or so.

Thank you for taking the time to read my letters. May all that is good and gracious bring you peace and joy for you and yours.

Activating the Fire Within

The following article was written approximately two years ago. The points are important. It is too easy to find ourselves in isolation and/or separation from that which is truly ours.

Within us a light so bright if you would decide to examine it in its full magnificence would claim that you just looked into the sun, and your claim would be correct

To an individual with the creative imagination, activating the fire within brings forth many possibilities. For the purpose of this work, and the class that will be taught on the fifth, the possibility of spontaneous combustion will not be considered. The reason for this, and I know I’m being a little obvious here, is that the problem with spontaneous combustion, is that it is a one-time only event. As you can probably imagine from my perspective, I prefer people to survive the classes and sessions that I’m involved with.

So, now that you know that I am interested in your survival, let us consider the nature of the fire within.

When we look at the sun, we see the light emanating from it allowing life to exist on this planet. We also find the same process exists throughout the universe the millions and billions of stars. By our understanding of the nature of the sun the process of consumption continues based upon the fuel and other factors. When these are no longer in place, the consumption will cease.

In the past I have stated, “That all things are part of the Whole, and no thing separate”. I have also stated “being part of the Whole, all things are within, for all realization occurs behind the eyes and between the ears”.

The previous statement brings about some complications that are contrary to common perceptions in some religious societies. Many of the those religions have taught that everything is outside of ourselves and we must make application to become part of, to join in to that which they say is beyond our reach, of which we will not be able to complete on our own. We must go through their system in order to receive promised rewards. If we do not use their system, not only will we not receive the advertised rewards, we will suffer tremendously in someplace that does not have air conditioning.

As I stated earlier, all things are within as evidenced by the fact that the Sun, Moon, and Stars, are realized within you. Come to think of it, all things are realized within. Even the place that is where you received your advertised rewards is within you. If this were not true, then you would not have any realizations at all. For the most part, you would cease to exist.

Let us move to different part of the process whereby the nature of fire is realized within. According to the common medical understanding of how the human body generates heat, a process of combustion must occur. To my recollection, the body converts sugars to alcohol, and then converts this alcohol to the components needed allowing the body to function properly, while at the same time generating heat.

Now the question is; what is the difference between the combustion within the body and the fire within the sun?

Other than intensity, nothing, the process is basically the same.

Where this gets interesting, is the nature and light of the sun is within, and being so, the same characteristic of light and fire is also within.

Activating the fire within can be a delicate matter if there are numerous restrictions within the body. If you turn it up “to high”, then that which is not conducive to light will be reconstituted at a very fast pace, the mass of material will be too much for the body to expel at a reasonable rate. In other words, you might find yourself upon the porcelain throne for several days.

However, with proper instructions and tools, activating the fire within is a very enjoyable and pleasant experience bringing about elevated states of awareness, and in some cases complete dissolution of thinking patterns and behaviors no longer productive.

In the next class, sometime September, we’ll address these issues, providing you guidance and the tools necessary to bring about the activation of your own fire within.

Peace,

Charles
