124. Philosophy � Greek

Philosopher, (Gr. Philosophos - Philos, loving, and sophos, wise.) One who is loving AND wise. Self-realization.

The non-exclusive, non-inward, native State of the Divinely Self-Realized Adept, Who is Identified Unconditionally with the Divine Reality, while also allowing whatever arises to appear in the Divine Consciousness (and spontaneously Recognizing everything that arises as only a modification of That One).

The Transcendental Self is intuited in the mature phases of the advanced stage of life, but It can be Realized at that stage only by the forced (or Grace-Given) exclusion of the phenomena of world, body, mind, and self. In "Open Eyes," that impulse to exclusion is unnecessary, as "the Eyes of the Heart Open" and Perfect Realization of the Spiritual, Transcendental, and Divine Self in the final stage of life becomes permanent and incorruptible by any phenomenal events.

Philosophy, the love of esoteric wisdom, not intellectual knowing; not the love OF wisdom, but an individual who has attained love AND wisdom, i.e., the state of divine-self-realization (Nirvana, Samadhi, Heaven, Moksha, Satori, Spiritual Enlightenment, Universal Love, Universal Wisdom, etc., etc.).

To KNOW-THY-SELF, as spirit and perfect understanding (wisdom).

Philosopher:

One who "rests" in the PRIOR state of SELF-REALIZATION as Eternal Spirit.

Philosopher: (as understood by the ancient Greeks meant)

"The pursuit of "knowledge* for its own sake"

*Knowledge as understood here is TRUE KNOWLEDGE, the knowledge or UNDERSTANDING through ACTUAL EXPERIENCE that the inner SELF is consciousness or Eternal Spirit, it is eternal, therefore it is the only TRUTH (state) and only PRIOR Eternal Reality. Everything else (creation, including formed and unformed levels or frequencies of energy are a "secondary reality," i.e., a reflection of and in spirit-consciousness or G.O.D.).
