MISSION

Explore... Experience... Know...

The Light Force Network is an Esoteric Universal Path non-political social environment open to anyone whose quest is evolution of Self through exploring, learning, teaching and sharing metaphysical concepts and philosophies. We are a community of Souls seeking higher knowledge through understanding of the world, the universe and most importantly one another. Metaphysics adds a level of conceptual rigor and clarity that can only improve the steadfastness of knowledge: it is not here to compete with or replace any other fields, it is here as a necessary supplement to them in our quest for truth about reality. Roads are traveled from the philosophies to the arcane to the occult where conscious awareness grows and is applied. Freedom of expression is honored here. Opinions expressed by authors in written content are not advocated for good or ill. That lies in the path of personal discernment.

Explore the mysteries.

Learn through experience.

~TODAY'S RUNEMAL~

COLLECTIVE READING

The Runes constitute one of the most ancient forms and means of divination. Used in concert with the daily nature of the Moon, the Ancients discovered the perfect guide for personal conduct and timely action.

-JUNE 16, 2024-

URUZ

KEYWORDS: GROWTH, CYCLES, NEW FORMS

Virtues: Courage, Fortitude, Resilience

Daily Theme: URUZ is known as the Rune of STRENGTH. This can be a demanding creative time for which you will have to adapt. Keep your principles firm. You have outgrown your current form of 'being' and must dispense that form to free new energy into your new form. Since self-change is never coerced, you are always free to resist life changes but be mindful that what awaits is usually greater then what you are currently experiencing. In some cases opportunity may come disguised as a loss. It can involve someone of something to which you have grown attached and through which you are living out a part of your life. This bond must be severed so you can retrieve the part of 'you' that is entangled in it so you can move forward to better things. Uruz is calling you to look and see if there is something you need to sacrifice in order to move forward. What is it in your life that is holding you back from achieving that which you desire the most? Uruz reminds us that through sacrifice we can move into a state of being far better than we had imagined at the time the sacrifice was made. It should be realized that the sacrifice called from by Uruz need not be required of you. It may be that you are witness to, or part of the path that allows another to reach their goals through sacrifice. Sacrifice talks of diligence and hard work. Sacrifice talks of loss and lack of control. Here the sacrifice that Uruz requires may be to let go and let the flow of the energy of the universe show you that life does find a way. But, in order to find a way, life makes changes to adapt and capitalize on each niche. Uruz is asking you if you are in the right niche. Is it time for you to leave the safety of your old ways to embark on a new, more exciting future?

Today, crystal practitioners and advocates should work with Carnelian (stability, grounding, courage, endurance, energy, leadership, and motivation).

LUNAR RIGHT ACTION ASPECTS: Let inner balance reflect outward as you make necessary adjustments regarding maintaining structure with introducing new ideas. 'Opinions' matter very little with what you know you need to do so wax philosophical while communicating with clarity and assurance.

~RUNIC DANCE~

"A man convinced against his will is of the same opinion still."

CONTEMPLATION STATION
With Kahlil Gibran

MESSAGE FOR SPRING

And a man said, Speak to us of Self-Knowledge.

And he answered, saying:

Your hearts know in silence the secrets of the days and the nights.

But your ears thirst for the sound of your heart’s knowledge.

You would know in words that which you have always known in thought.

You would touch with your fingers the naked body of your dreams.

And it is well you should.

The hidden wellspring of your soul must needs rise and run murmuring to the sea;

And the treasure of your infinite depths would be revealed to your eyes.

But let there be no scales to weigh your unknown treasure;

And seek not the depths of your knowledge with staff or sounding line.

For self is a sea boundless and measureless.

Say not, “I have found the truth,” but rather, “I have found a truth.”

Say not, “I have found the path of the soul.” Say rather, “I have met the soul walking upon my path.”

For the soul walks upon all paths.

The soul walks not upon a line, neither does it grow like a reed.

The soul unfolds itself, like a lotus of countless petals.

~ THE PROPHET ~

A Message About Reincarnation

FROST TO FIRE

Inspired by dreams divine

Beyond the tracks of time

Song and rhyme to feed your starving ears

In faith I heed the call

Yet so uninvolved

Questions unresolved, too deep and high

From frost to fire

I'll leave, your desire at the door

No more

Lives to wait

In time, I'll lose all designs

And nothing left undone

Never again

To "speak in tongues"

And if you've lost sight of sacred ground

The key may still be found

In your heart

If you've the strength to look there

From frost to fire

I'll leave your desire at the door

No more

Lives to wait

In time, I'll lose all designs

And nothing left undone

Never again

To "speak in tongues"

To see with sight of closed eyes

The visions of the wise

Can come as no surprise

The trumpet sounds...

This candle has been lit for all those anywhere in the world who are suffering physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. May the Light find you, illuminate you and heal you.

THE SECRET ADAM

https://www.holybooks.com/wp-content/uploads/The-Secret-Adam-A-Study-of-Nasoraen-Gnosis.pdf

The Secret Adam – a Study of Nasoreaen Gnosis by E. S. Drower takes us deep into the pre-Christian spirituality of the ancient Persia. Still today there are remnants of the Mandaeans (“Gnostics“) also known as Sabaeans in Iraq who among others had a tradition of baptism. Their knowledge is historically accessible through a vast amount of scrolls. In The Secret Adam, E. S. Drower outlines the history of the people, their thoughts and secret knowledge.

MAGIA NATURALIS - NATURAL MAGIC

https://www.holybooks.com/wp-content/uploads/Natural-Magick.pdf

Magia Naturalis (natural magic) is the main work of the Neapolitan scholar Giambattista Della Porta, first published in 1558 in four books and then in 1586 in twenty books. It is the compilation of fantastic phenomena and beliefs he collected during his life and that he has tried to wrest from the divinatory magic by giving them a naturalistic justification or by legitimizing them by classic literary references. The first edition of Magia Naturalis dates from 1558 in Naples (then Antwerp in 1560), while Della Porta was only twenty-three years old. From an early age, with the help of his preceptors, he hunts for surprising, wonderful, and even miraculous facts, to review them in order to tear them away from popular superstition and put them back to their proper place within the natural philosophy. The Magia Naturalis is not a book of magic spells but merely an anthology of natural wonders written at a time when science was still in its infancy.
