Theos-Talk Archives (November 2002 Message tt00856)

Steve,
Thank you for your entertainment of my inquiry and interest, your 
responses are
much appreciated. I hardly expected the survey you provided as well as 
the many
gleanings and insights you consider valued. I consider them such also and 
they will
assist me in my further actions.

My perception about Paul was that he experienced apparently a sudden 
Samadhi
experience which constituted a Noetic Unity of the Light itself and 
became the 
Gnostic "Pistis" and foundation of his expression, in particular his "We 
strive IN 
Christ", indicating he professed the idea that the Christ Principle 
itself is
Transcedent-Immanent in which he and all have participation in that Water 
of
Beingness which is infinite and boundless and without limit or restraint. 
Viewing
the Metaphysic in terms of the Absolute Unity, Intention, Will, and the 
Dunymis
to effect the effectual manifestation Within the without and Without the 
Within
of what is called "The Only Begotten Son" or I prefer "The Alone Begotten 
Son"
as the means by which Absolute remains in Covenant of itself and yet 
matriculates
that which is within the within as ultimately All is.

There were two versions of Mead's "Orpheus," I currently have the 1896 
version
Titled: "The Theosophy of the Greeks----Orpheus," but there was 
another earlier
version that was Titled: "Orpheus The Fisher King----Fisher of souls," 
this was
stolen from me to my dismay.

Steve, thanks once more for your time and kindness and willingness to 
provide
such a very nice post in response.

Jon
