KNOWING COSMORAMA

KNOWING COSMORAMA – by Huberto Rohden

 

 

Fully recovered from the incident of the "sinking" and fully aware and risen, Rohden started to be more and more familiar with the clean and decontaminated atmosphere of Cosmorama.

 

On a bright afternoon, with her friend Iris, he went for a walk around the beach bordering a dense forest when... "Indescribable was my fright when silently emerged from the gloom of the forest, a huge tiger head. I let out an involuntary cry of terror and I hid behind a tree trunk. Iris laughed heartily of my fear, and to prove that there was no reason for it, she put her arm around its fluffy neck, did pat it and offered the rest of her lunch. She asked me to come near to such a beast and to caress the king of the forest, which I did with some reluctance, and found that my "positive aura" had prevailed over the "negative aura", the contrary, the tiger did not would have regarded me as a friend.

 

Yet, on that afternoon, I had repeated opportunity to see that does not exist "wild animals"; there exist only "wild man". "Wild man" is the sensorial mental man, not yet rationalized by the spirit. It is this specimen that prevails between us civilized human beings on Earth.

 

In prehistoric times, before man woke up his dormant intellect, hostility didn't exist between the world of man and the world of animals. After the awakening of the intellect, man started to divorce from Nature - and thus originated a state of belligerence, either latent or evident, that stands today between man and nature. Intellectual man is tyrannical and exploit Nature, enslaved it, an attitude that compels Nature to respond with hostility, implicitly or explicitly.

 

But, when  man, from the mere intellectual level, ascends to the heights of the rationality of the spirit, disappears the hostility between him and Nature, because on this level reigns Universal Harmony: a creature fully tuned with the Creator cannot fail to be naturally attuned to all other creatures of God who are in harmony with the supreme cause of the Universe. In this supreme degree of evolution, man simply give up to be a slave of Nature, like the unconscious man, and no longer enslaves it, just as man intellectually conscious: becoming instead friend and ally of Nature, reason why Nature feels man like its "older brother" and opens spontaneously its intimate recesses and its mysterious forces, putting them at the disposal of man cheerfully deified, in the instinctive certainty that a being fully harmonized with the Creator is unable to abuse the creatures of God, because every abuse is the offspring of selfishness, but in the Cosmic Man plenty of reason, selfishness is definitely overcome by love.

 

We spent all that afternoon to live deliciously with Nature and to talk about the relationship between Nature and man. I left this tour richer than if I had read an entire library..."

AMONG THE INHABITANTS OF COSMORAMA

AMONG THE INHABITANTS OF COSMORAMA - by Huberto Rohden

 

 

We do not know for how long our illustrious "castaway" was unconscious on the beaches of Cosmorama. It is known however, that upon awakening, Rohden found himself surrounded by some of the locals, which he said were quite similar to humans on planet Earth, however, much nicer, aesthetically perfect, calm, serene, gentle and kind.

 

To his greatest joy came near him, a form of woman named Iris - dressed in green, so harmonized with the bronze colour of her smooth skin - much more beautiful than the name she used, the name that resembles the rainbow, symbol of peace and calm – a female spirit that vibrates so well and peaceful...

 

"No, it was not a dream! Stood before me, concrete and tangible, this young woman, with such beauty that made me love her without the slightest desire to possess. Later, during the whole time I lived in Cosmorama, I found that love between those beings was like pure sunlight and not as a smouldering torch tar; they did not love to explore their loved ones, nor to satisfy their instincts. "Smokeless light" - that was the expression  modelled in my soul, while witnessing the love between those men and women. Love in Cosmorama is not dull, discoloured, anaemic, artificial; on the contrary, is love of intense colour, full of enthusiasm and vitality. But to believe in something so amazing, it would be necessary to experience it personally; because man only knows what he really savoured and suffered in the intimate depths of his being... It would be necessary to drown - to live so intensely.

 

Iris became my best friend, and she said such stupendous things and with such simplicity that no earthly man might believe.

 

It was so spontaneous the joy and friendship in the midst of this people - among whom were two pairs of newlyweds - which was so contagious to anyone who was not precisely a block of ice.I have verified for the first time in my life that love has nothing to do with carnal satisfaction, although this may be a natural expression of love. The carnal satisfaction when taken in isolation, is the opposite of love, because it is an expression of personal selfishness, toward which one sex needs the other, mean that a person makes use of another person as a means to achieve a selfish end, which is anti-cosmic.The scope of love is incomparably wider than the satisfaction of the sexual instinct, very characteristic of the animal man of low evolution that only knows libido.

 

The inhabitants of Cosmorama represent the highest level of human evolution that I know, and therefore is natural to them that the sexual instinct was integrated in love.

 

The infra-man abuses, the semi-man refuses, the Cosmic-Man uses his superior virtues to realize the perfection of  the Whole Human.”

THE IMAGINARY OF COSMORAMA

THE IMAGINARY OF COSMORAMA - by Huberto Rohden

 

 

Professor Rohden wrote during his life time, about one hundred books, whose ideas were divided between Universal Philosophy, Philosophy of the Gospel, Philosophy of Life, Mysteries of Nature, a collection of Biographies and Brochures. Among 39 books listed on Philosophy of Life, Rohden wrote one enigmatic book titled "COSMORAMA", an imaginary trip to a region of the Universe inhabited by spiritually evolved beings.

 

To undertake this journey, the author brought his own "death", a fictional sinking in a ship, "resurrecting” in a new dimension called Cosmorama, a world of evolved life, far distant from the reality of humans on planet Earth.  Was so well orchestrated, so real that supposed death, that many of his readers eagerly sought the publisher to see if Prof. Rohden had actually died!

 

Unfortunately the book COSMORAMA was not published in English, and what follows below is only an extract translated of this extraordinary epic.

 

"The inhabitants of Cosmorama are attuned to God and therefore harmonized with Nature. Incidentally, no one can be truly united with the Universe subconsciously, without maintaining a permanent union with the omniscient part of that same Universe.

 

For the first time in my life I had a clear awareness of how the inhabitants of the earth are divorced with the world that surrounds them... earthly Nature and their fellow humans.

 

Man acting purely with his senses, not yet intellectualized, coexists with Nature, because he is part of it, dominated by the same laws that governs automatically that department of the Universe, slave of his subconscious instincts as any mineral, vegetable or animal beings.

 

Intellectualized man is partially emancipated from the laws of the inferior Nature, because he conquered his ego-consciousness which is human privilege on planet Earth, thus becoming selfish, self-centred, egomaniac. He judges himself as a tyrant, a dictator and explores Nature that ends up being the slave of man. But how can the slave be friend of whom enslaves? So Nature, is enemy of man on earth, the intellectual man, not yet rational, which unfortunately destroys Nature jeopardizing its biological balance.

 

Man, overcoming his senses and intellect, the rational man, the cosmic man, fully realized with the Spiritual Infinity Reason, is no longer slave nor enslaves Nature, instead, is friend, ally, because he understands Nature and Nature understands him. Consequently this man becomes married to lady Natura, his beautiful wife, and both, in that mysterious marriage, generate offspring that none of them alone could procreate. Man, who before the altar of the Eternal Divinity and with the blessings of the High Priest of the Universe, marries Nature, becomes the creator of the Cosmic World, which is the consortium between spirit and matter, between Earth and Heaven.

 

The Cosmic being is always a mix between the material and the spiritual, between the mundane and the divine. This fusion of the elements from above and below, of plurality and unity, is what produces a world of ineffable poetry, because poetry is essentially a consortium between two different things; is the "identity of opposites ", the mysterious synthesis of antitheses. Poetry is unity in diversity, diversity in unity. Who realizes the unique essence in many life existences, and on those many life existences, realizes the only one essence (Source), this man is a poet. Poetry is Christmas and Easter at the same time: the materialization of the spirit of Christmas, and in Easter the spiritualization of matter. Poetry is the incarnation of the eternal Logos and the resurrection of the ephemeral and immortalized matter. So is the Universal Man.

 

The life of the cosmic man oscillates smoothly between Christmas of the incarnation of God in Nature and the Easter resurrection of Nature in God. For him, it is not possible to see God without Nature. The more this man penetrates in Nature, more he is in intimacy with God. The more he is with Nature more “deified” he is.

 

Like lovers who do not exploit each other, but spontaneously serve one another, and on that wish to serve they find the supreme bliss, so is the cosmic man who does not explore Nature, but cultivates it lovingly, and Nature, on its part, opens spontaneously and joyously its secrets and treasures. Therefore, the cosmic man is, by the virtues of ethical and moral citizenship, a thaumaturge, a miracle worker, because the thaumaturgy is nothing else but the spontaneous exchange between the latent forces of Nature and the harmless use of it by man. The so-called "miracles" are the legitimate children of this fruitful marriage between the beautiful wife Natura and her vigorous husband, the Universal Man.

 

Francis of Assisi, after Jesus, the Christ, was, perhaps, the greatest cosmic man known by earthly humanity, he had made his marriage, as he says: to the lady Poverty, i.e., he had acquired "poverty by the spirit" or " purity of heart", which is nothing else than the complete and final liberation of the enslaved worlds of  the senses and the world of the enslaving intellect, entering into the fascinating world of the "glorious liberty of the children of God."

 

The sensorial man is compulsorily dependent.

 

The intellectual man is deceptively independent.

 

The rational man is spontaneously interdependent."

THE WISDOM OF THE SERMON ON THE MOUNT

 

THE WISDOM OF THE SERMON ON THE MOUNT - by Huberto Rohden

 

 

Before beginning his public life, Jesus, the Christ, spent 40 days of silence and meditation in the desert. And the first message he addressed to people is called the "Sermon on the Mount", delivered in the hills of Kurun Hattin, southwest of Lake Gennesaret.

 

Those words can be considered as the "platform of the Kingdom of God”, as we would say in political language. Represents the expressions of the divine mystics and human ethics, aimed to the Self-realization of man.

 

At the beginning, he spoke about the Eight Beatitudes, where the Master proclaims happy, precisely those whom the world considers unfortunate: the poor, the pure, the meek, the sufferers, the persecuted, etc. This distinction between happiness and enjoyment, unhappiness and suffering, goes through the entire Gospel of Christ, and can only be comprehended by those who have awakened to the Reality of their own spiritual Self.

 

The Sermon on the Mount is the most striking contrast between the patterns of the profane man and the ideal of man spiritually initiated. To comprehend so exalted wisdom man must overcome the dictates of his analytical intellect and to open the soul to an intuitive experience. Profane man thinks that is an absurd to love those who hate us, do good to our malefactors, to hand the tunic to whom stole the cover, to suffer more injustice rather than retaliate. The Master's message is an invitation for man to convert, i.e., to go beyond mind-ego to a new dimension of consciousness, unprecedented and unheard, paradoxically grand.

 

There is no use to analyse this maximum document of Christ-like experience, because only comprehends one who lived and experienced it. And to prelude the advent of the kingdom of God on earth, it is necessary that each individual carry within that kingdom; to prepare every single day some time to fully interiorize his own Divine Self, his own Internal Christ trough meditation.

 

During meditation, man empties the entire contents of his human ego, feeling nothing, thinking nothing, wanting nothing, exposing himself unconditionally to the invasion of the divine fullness.

 

Where there is an emptiness happens a fullness. Fulfilment in God requires man emptiness.

 

But do not be fooled! One who lives 24 hours fulfilled with things of the ego - greed,  selfishness, lusts, profane amusements – cannot be emptied in half an hour of meditation; this person deludes and  mystifies himself by a sterile mysticism. It is essential that  man who wants to make a fruitful and efficient meditation, must live detached from  superfluous things and only with the necessary for a decent human life. Luxury and lust are garbage and make impossible life in harmony with the spirit of Christ and the Gospel.

 

Man who wants to be Christ-like, not only Christian, needs to live life 100% honest with himself, and do not be deceive with palliatives and camouflages that obscure the truth about himself.

BE ALWAYS CONFIDENT

 

BE ALWAYS CONFIDENT - by Meimei

 

 

 

Do not lose your faith from life's difficulties.

 

Even if your feet are bleeding, heads to the front holding that faith by the heavenly light above yourself.

 

Believe and work.

 

Strive for good and wait patiently.

 

Everything passes and everything is renewed on earth but what comes from heaven, remains.

 

Of all the unhappy, the greatest wretched is the one who have lost confidence in God and in himself, because the greatest pain is to suffer the ordeal of faith and giving up surrendering.

 

Raises therefore your gaze and keep on going.

 

Struggle and serve. Learn to self-realize.

 

Remember that always shines the dawn after the dark night.

 

Today, it is possible that the storm will hurt your heart and disturb your goals striking thee with affliction or threatening you with death.

 

Do not forget however, that tomorrow is another day.

“Only from complete identity with the living spiritual element within us can come full and lasting happiness. Life itself, with its changing and varying fortunes, provides a bitter initiation into this truth. We need no other teacher to instruct us that within only is abiding good. Yet this truth, so plainly written in our hearts by the hand of our Supreme Father, is generally ignored or condemned.” Paul Brunton

OPPORTUNITY

OPPORTUNITY - by Emmanuel

 

 

Jesus said to them: "The right time for me has not yet come. But any time is right for you." John 7.6

 

 

The bad worker is always complaining. If it is not because of the tools, is the rain, or not tolerating the heat, or cursing frost or wind.
This is a blind worker, useless, because he only sees difficulties at work.
The good worker, however, comprises, above all, on the profound meaning of the opportunity he received. Values ​​and respects all obstacles in his way. Not dependent on the seasons to seed. Plant with the same enthusiasm seeds of summer or winter. He is friend with Nature and draws useful lessons from it. Be of good cheer, finding in the difficulties of sowing and joy in harvesting, the same happiness.
In this sense, the lesson of Jesus, the Christ, is of valuable significance. In the tangle of misunderstandings of the world, we should not wait for the kingdom of heaven as immediate realization, but the permanent opportunity to collaborate with the Gospel, for the purpose to spread its message.
The blind of spirit will continue whining; however, those who agreed and embraced the lessons of the Master, knows that their time of redeeming work is done. Did not pass, nor is coming. It is now, today, in the blessed opportunity to serve on His behalf, here and forever...

 

 

“It is convenient for many to remember  Christ’s birthday every year, but just as convenient to forget His principles.” Paul Brunton

SPORTS

 

 

 

SPORTS - by André Luiz, adapted according to the thoughts of Huberto Rohden by Íris Gomes and Flavio de Mello.

 

 

THE WORLD CUP IN BRAZIL

 

 

If there are sports that help the body, there are sports that help the soul...

 

 

--  The march of duty rightly done,

--  The sweaty regatta at work,

--  The exercise of devotion to the study,

--  The effort to jump patiently over obstacles,

--  The marathon of good deeds,

--  The tournament of kindness,

--  To dive in silence before the prayer,

--  Swimming patiently during difficult waters,

--  The gymnastics of totally ignoring an insult,

--  The flight to the higher realms of thought,

--  The highest ever jump to “know thyself”,

--  The demonstration of moral strength in every day tests.

 

 

All these sports of the soul can be practiced in all ages and conditions.

 

In addition, believe that any of them will lead you to a Gold Medal Award, lighting up your heart to shine forever!

Translator’s Note:

 

"I often had to recognize that the need “to do something special” was born of a restless spirit. Such persons wanted to dedicate themselves to larger tasks because those that lay nearest did not satisfy them. Often, too, it was evident that they had been brought to their decisions by quite secondary considerations. Only a person who can find a value in every sort of activity and devote himself to each one with full consciousness of duty, has the inward right to take as his object some extraordinary activity instead of that which falls naturally to his lot. Only a person who feels his preference to be a matter of course, not something out of the ordinary, and who has no thought of heroism, but just recognizes a duty undertaken with sober enthusiasm, is capable to becoming a spiritual adventurer such as the world needs. There are no heroes of action: only heroes of renunciation and suffering. Of such there are plenty. But few of them are known, and even these not to the crowd, but to the few.” A Schweitzer.

 

 

---   The Wold Cup in Brazil is about to start. However, all forms of sport, which produces a healthy body, helping the mind to better develop, are losing its lustre, on the allegations and evidences of corruption among its managers, the sponsoring organizations, official entities that promote it and within governments. And with that, the sport also contributes to the inversion of values ​​in our society, where anyone that excels in the practice of any sport, apart of gold medals as a reward, receives also incredible sums of money. And examples abound... footballers, tennis, basketball, rugby... etc. The list is large.

 

 

Official figures prepared by the authorities of the sport in Brazil report an expense of US$14 billions, however, this number is far from correct. The foreign press reports that the stadiums and infrastructure are still not completed. The owners of the construction companies are politicians or their allies, and generally, been public developments, are overpriced. Most sectors of the working class population are in strikes, riots, complaining about salaries and better infrastructure in areas of education, health, security and transport. Areas that historically are suffering most, in a country where its leaders, far from favouring the poor and destitute, divert the profits to their own pockets.

 

During my recent visit to Brazil, traveling the north-eastern states, scandals were released in the local press where politicians are diverting funds from schools lunch program, for their own benefit! Schools where teachers receive an insulting salary and  the students often eat at school, because the lack of parenting income!

 

Ironically, these same leaders were in the recent past, the same ones criticizing the military dictatorship and later governments for better living conditions for those who suffer financial hardship and pay taxes. The current president, Ms. Rousseff, was even arrested and allegedly tortured during that period; her Minister of Sports, Mr. Aldo Rebelo, a former president of the National Union of Students, relentless critic of the previous governments, certainly today, has ties to the oligarchs who dominate the lobby of the construction companies in charge to rebuild the stadiums. The former president, Luiz Inácio "Lula" da Silva, union leader of the workers party, very poor at the beginning of his political career, after, taking office, contributed immensely for the current status quo of the corrupt government that rules Brazil today. His son, nicknamed "Lulinha", a cattle ranger and lobbyist in other businesses, is one of the richest man in Brazil (Forbes Magazine).

 

Surely their wealth did not come at the expense of hard and honest work.

 

And so goes my poor country of birth. In the past, during the colonial era, its wealth in gold and precious stones were exported and smuggled into Portugal in order to pay for the luxuries of the court and the debts acquired with England, wealth that contributed greatly to the industrial revolution of the eighteenth century!

VISION

 

VISION – by Emmanuel

 

 

The vision is not unique only to our physical eyes.

To reflect, is to see with consciousness.

To imagine, is to see with the feeling.

To calculate, is to see with the reason.

To recall, is to see with the memory.

 

 

Therefore, the vision is vast and complex property of the Spirit, which expands and enriches itself constantly, as our powers and emotions evolve and improve.

 

 

Those who wish to therefore, get clairvoyance, should keep the purity of heart, so that the purity externalizes through our senses, regenerating our emotional world, readjusting our idealism and balancing our desires toward to the Endless Good.

 

 

Those looking for the "next best" of events, the "noblest part of the people" and to the "expression more useful" of things, is gaining valuable additional Vision.

 

 

Entrusting ourselves to disturbing passions, groping in the darkness of selfishness and hatred, the ice of indifference, spiritual hardening, incomprehension..., we will only see with the flesh, the troubling and painful problems.

 

 

Purify the spirit and you will be able to discover the horizons of our glorious immortality.

 

 

Most human beings see something during their common life, however, rare know how to see.

 

 

We need to learn how to adjust to the principles of the Divine Clairvoyant  who knew how to contemplate human needs, with love and forgiveness, from the Heights of the Cross, for us to be able to penetrate the sublime clarity of our own resurrection.

It is of fundamental importance to broaden our metaphysical perceptions, and to release also our fears, as quote Ralph Waldo Emerson:- “Fear always springs from ignorance.”
