The University of Science and Philosophy

A Message From the President

           To those of you who read this message, may I say, I hope it will remind you of the most important thing a human being can discover—the Light of one’s Divine inheritance—the Soul.

There is much focus on the external world today.  In fact, not much has changed in the many thousands of years since the dawn of conscience.  The mystery schools of the ancients taught the Hermetic principles - the Trivium and Quadrivium - the self and the soul.  Despite this modern technological era, many great minds at the very recent turn of the 20th century, reminded us of the importance of the soul, and the continued pursuit of self-unfoldment.  How quickly we get distracted from what may only be termed, “The Great Self-Work.”

Humanity as always, seems more focused on the covers of books than their contents.  Mass-man seeks the perfect unscarred cover to solve the external problems of the world while failing to realize, all man’s ills stem from his internal problems, the greatest being his failure to realize the Divine Light within himself, all beings and life—atom, mineral, vegetable, animal, human and star.  Personally, I am more fascinated by the scarred book cover than the perfect one.  The scars reveal to me, a kind of deep and mysterious character.  Such is the nature of wisdom and God.  It is not to be found on the outside of things, rather in the deepest core.

Consider the words of this master alchemist;
“The vital thing is not the transmutation of metals but that of the experimenter himself. It is an ancient secret that a few people rediscover each century. Unfortunately, only a handful are successful.”  ~Fulcanelli

As the world of mankind navigates the rough waters of his collective storm, it is to ever be remembered that only individuals may rise from the collective, and even then only a handful of individuals rise to become genius or beyond.  The progression of consciousness is a narrow path, and that is why so few choose to knowingly walk it.  For those brave enough to seek the Light of the soul, even as the crowds point to the book covers of the world as the cause of all ills, I salute you.  For indeed, it is the content of one’s character - written on the blank pages of your own unique book that defines YOU.  And the greatest characters have unfolded through conscious awareness of the Divine Light within.  In their soul books, despite any lines of darkness, are eventually written lines of Light as their pursuit toward the mountaintop reveals. And those who read their words are uplifted all the same.
