The Arc of the Mind
Beyond the Doctrine of Ideas
Mesopotamia is a light in human consciousness that swelled for the future. The walk with God has nothing to do with society’s purposes and doesn’t live in any religion, history book, or with any theologian. We grow up going to elementary, middle school, and high school, being taught what we later recite as life. By the time we are fifteen, the thought system has placed comfort zones, knowing and not knowing.
What we call “human ideas” is a lattice of mirages—thought-forms inherited from a world that was already spinning long before we drew breath. We stepped onto a stage whose scenery was built by countless minds before ours, and, without question, we took the painted backdrop for reality. So long as we keep rehearsing what was taught, we live on face value thinking, not knowing the echo of thought.
Yet in every lifetime, there arrives an opportunity. Sometimes it is grief, sometimes wonder, sometimes the hush of a dawn that refuses explanation. Through that humble opening, a deeper seeing announces itself: the realization that “what is” has never been confined to what we can name. In that instant, the doctrine of ideas loosens its grip, and the Soul’s radiance begins to arc across the inner sky.
The mind, once curving around the circumference of inherited belief, is gently drawn inward toward the Soul’s unbounded center. This is not the shrinkage of intellect but its transfiguration. Ideas, once clutched like possessions, become prisms—tools for bending light rather than walls for keeping it out. The arc of thought now follows the geometry of Spirit; it bows toward a horizon wider than knowledge.
Sacred isn’t in religion. It is deeper in the Soul and every human being
has Love for opening it.
As that arc lengthens, the illusion thins. We feel ourselves no longer passengers in a prefabricated world, but co-weavers of a living tapestry whose threads are woven from light. Each insight, each breath, participates in the opening of the world. The painted scenery melts into living light, and the world is revealed as a much bigger thread where Spirit forever discovers new ways to know.
Every idea is a doorway, not a dwelling. When we step through it, we arrive at the boundless wellspring where light and Soul converge—where the doctrine of ideas dissolves, and only the truth of living light remains.
We’re walking through self, leaving for light and finding depth to depart everything in this life we thought was who we are, family and reality, for knowing God. The mind is a tool of matter, learning to let go to walk deeper in consciousness.
Kenosis of Light
God told us to keep Him above all things, for the mind to carry light. We’re living in a time when we have little desire to know God. We want to know religions. We’re trying to be accepted by society instead of leaving this world for Him.
The idea of God has been living in satan for thousands of years. We’re not living from the depths of the Soul; we’re marginalizing our existence for shallow egoic acceptance.
The monotheistic idea of God was from the Soul burning to know God. When Akhenaten, the 14th-century Pharaoh, made the Sun Aten–God without a road map, he placed depth in God.
Akhenaten lived in a relationship with God beyond past kings, claiming a priestly role. He placed a heavenly father-son relationship. Akhenaten described himself as “thy son who came forth from thy limbs,” he declared, daring to claim a father-son intimacy with the Invisible Light. Though his knowing baffled contemporaries, it carved a new channel in human consciousness.
If we had depth with our living God there would be no need for popes, rabbis, or the thousands of competing creeds that line the marketplace. Institutions thrive only when the personal encounter grows dim; they canonize yesterday’s revelation, then guard it against tomorrow’s. Humanity sits into satan because we follow religions instead of keeping God above all things—the Soul’s journey to God is a unique one that walks beyond this world, living from the many to the one.
The Silent Cathedral
1 The Marketplace of Belief
Religions emerged, forcing others to adhere to practices and protocols or be persecuted. Humanity ceased thinking about a living God. We drifted away from direct knowing, and in its absence arose the crowded bazaar filled with secondhand truths, each competing loudly to persuade. If we truly believed in a God who breathes, speaks, and loves in real time, there would be no need for intermediaries—no popes, no rabbis, or priests. Each Soul would stand quietly, courageously before the Infinite, listening for the way to build substance, depth, and maturity to God.
2 Institutionalizing the Echo
Institutions, however grand or ancient, are born when the personal encounter with God grows dim. They crystallize yesterday’s epiphany, crafting doctrines around insights no longer personally experienced. Sacred writings, once born of living fire, are locked behind idols, protected from reinterpretation and reawakening. Gradually, faith turns into history, and revelation becomes repetition.
3 The Drift into Satan
When personal communion fades, humanity drifts subtly into satan—the shallow, comfortable current of social approval and cultural norms. Instead of listening inwardly, we lean on tradition, quoting others instead of walking our path. We prefer studying the past over discovering the divine anew. In this slow drift, religion replaces revelation, and faith becomes little more than social currency.
4 The Courage to Journey
But a living God does not dwell only in yesterday’s temples or in ancient texts. Divine Presence waits quietly at the threshold of every human heart. It takes courage—often solitude—to step beyond inherited boundaries and venture alone into that silence. It is easier to admire a prophet from afar than to become one. Yet every Soul is invited to step into this profound solitude where the Infinite whispers directly, with no interpreter standing in between. The Soul knows the path to God. The mind detours for ego, satan, and the little person making the self be someone.
5 The Cathedral Within
The true cathedral is not made of stones or doctrines, but silence and receptivity. It is an inner sanctuary illuminated by living communion. Here, belief gives way to knowing, theology dissolves into direct experience, and the heart becomes its own sacred scripture. To enter this silent cathedral is to trade echoes for original sound, discovering the timeless voice of God. Only God can choose us. No one can dance for Him or appoint their own ideas as His.
6 Walking Beyond Religion
To truly walk with God is to walk beyond religion. It means trading certainty for wonder, tradition for revelation, and secondhand faith for firsthand knowing. This journey is unsettling because it offers no guarantees—only Presence. Yet in this Presence, a profound intimacy arises, deeper and richer than any tradition could ever promise. Here we live directly with God, allowing our Souls to become the light of Christ.
7 The Soul’s Uncharted Road
Every Soul who makes this journey finds itself on uncharted roads, led by intuition, trust, and direct communion. We lose our lives to gain them in God, and as we do, our thought system changes and reality breaks. The light in our thinking moves into deeper water far beyond religious idealogies and self-identity in matter. We have no bars around us when God speaks to us. The world ceases to exist as it has.
