PRESENTATION COMPETENT PEOPLE METAPHYSICS; I KNOW IT, I CREATE IT BECAUSE I KNOW Competent people-the poles-this is the most important point on which metaphysical systems converge, and they all agree about the competent people. What are competent people? They somehow form the pillars of existence, sustain it, are the structures that sustain the system. What idea does this stem from? As a metaphysical principle, it is necessary to find a reason for creation, if there is a god, why did he create creation, what is the reason for this? So there must be - there must be - a reason, it is based here, the knowledge of reason. He says "I was a gem, I wanted to be known", so the reason is to want to be known, what is it? Your ore. What is ore? The first substance, that is, the potential of something, like the ore-jewel relationship, the thing that shows the ore is its processing, that is, the god wanted to be processed, this is the reason. CREATING INDUCTION THROUGH THE OBSERVANT'S MIRROR What technique did God use when he was creating? Creation continues in continuity at the moment. Religious books give different answers to these situations, everyone tells what they have in their bags. For example, the angel Gabriel has a duty to create storms, every angel has a job, and the chosen spirits, which they call holy spirits, also perform some duties. God has an innumerable number of angels made up of angels, each doing a job. What kind of technique is this, does god use a technique? Reply; Yeah. So, can you people use this technique in your own life? Reply; yes, we can call it the induction technique. How is it? First of all, we will go over metaphysical values again, of course, creation means reaching a destiny, in this way, there are various destinies on a line or on a cycle. In other words, there is such a thing as faith in destiny, it has been written before, but this destiny is the destiny of possibilities. Think of it this way, you only have three numbers; 1-2-3, no other numbers, these three numbers are your potential destiny, so you are confined here. What can you do with these three numbers? Here, knowledge, wisdom and effort come into play, you can do subtraction, addition, permutation, they are all your destiny, but the number 4 is outside of your destiny, there is nothing written for you there, you can create-change here. Simply God has a science, there are many options you can make with the numbers 1-2-3 in this science, all of them are written for you, the rest is to learn the science and technique of it. In time, you will understand what potential you have by using the science of nature. So each result creates a pattern, a kind of pattern. Creation also means that a person moves from one mold to another and is reshaped there, that is, models and patterns are also present there. For example 1-2:1, this pattern already exists, you pour yourself into it, there creation takes place. This is how God does these things by his people, there is nothing unknown, let me give you another example. For example, you in position A- are having a problem, let's call it position A in distress. Then you asked for the help of the angel with the permission of Allah, and for some reason the angel decided to help you, for example, you wish for healing, you are sick, you have a wish for healing. That is, the disease is a model, your healed state is another model, the angel has healed you from the position of illness. puts it in position. For example, it does not make a giraffe out of you, it does not create such a possibility for you, or it does not give you immortality. We have the mirror of the observer, the observer and the creation process, for an observer, again based on faith in destiny, let's assume that the potential number 1-2 is the variation of these two numbers that an observer can see in his mirror no matter what he does, nothing else. It can increase the possibilities with knowledge, but there is a but there. In fact, God takes care of his work, namely his creation, with these aims. While the observer sees his own possibilities in his mirror, he reaches the paradox of infinite mirrors since he is also an observed to those possibilities. Just like the servant whom God loves and the servant who loves God very much, these are the reflections of man as a servant in God, the observing god determines the area he observes with the fate and potential of the observer. It sounds complicated, but it's not, it all falls into place towards the end. So how does this happen? We are talking about a single human being, the observer and the agent-interfering person, where is the field he/she observes? He cannot observe anything but manifestation, that is, he observes creation. Observing it creates its own combination. For example, when looking at a work of art, one person looks with admiration, respects the effort for the art there, and another looks with envy, both of which are potentials within those numerical possibilities. For example, one commits a sin, one observer looks forgiving, the other looks vindictive and vengeful, which is choosing a destiny within possibilities. Now let's look at the rest of the sentence, the concept of induction, what is that concept? This is a very interesting concept, it is a technology that is already used today, but even those who use or create this technology do not know the essence of the business, and here is the secret of creation. God's creation technique is induction, it is to change the structure of a substance without touching it, we can also call it the power of thought, that is, if you hit the iron with a hammer, the iron will be crushed. What is creation? It means breaking the will of something. What is will? Any substance has a self-preservation, that is, a resistance structure to maintain its current shape, which is also a necessary thing. So, if an outside force wants to create on something external, it has to break its will. For example, the cracking of the seed means the breaking of the will of the seed. Why does he have willpower? Because God protects it, that is, he does it so that it does not break in an incorrect and unsuitable environment, that is, in areas where creation will not take place. The seed cracks in the soil in various special circumstances, like this, because only there it can enter into creation. In other words, God creates his creations by breaking the shell of things, breaking his will to resist, and in this way he creates constantly. According to what and for what purpose does God constantly create? Here again induction comes into play. God chooses creation, but you choose how to create, that's the interesting part. For example, electrolysis technique is an induction technique, what is it? You put a metal in acidic or silver or chrome water, you give electricity to the metal, the electrified metal attracts the liquid metal in the water and becomes a coating. The other technique that does this is psychic therapy by suggestion, that is, no surgical procedure, all by using a technique from afar and suitable for the next possibility of the thing. For example, you cannot apply this technique to plastic, it is not among its fate options, there is no electrolysis, what does that mean? As a potentially destiny item, your creation pattern determines the possibilities. In other words, while creating God, he connected the system to a kind of automatic order, your destiny as a subject, and a creation on you with the knowledge that comes over your attempt as a subject. That is, a kind of breaking of will followed by remodeling for change, that is, creation, is in the form of both the observed and the observing you having reached any of your destiny possibilities at that moment, getting sick is a possibility, getting healed is a possibility, it's all there. Let's look at the creation process of god based on scriptures; seven layers of heaven and above it the chair of God, that is, the universe created by God. Think of it this way, nine balls are intertwined; The first ball is our universe, the next seven floors are seven heavens, the last one is the lectern, which we also call the god floor, we have such a model, four archangels hold this lectern, these are of course a symbolic expression, but we will look at what it tells. Where could God have started creation? After God created all these and his angels, he creates Adam, determines the Doomsday time, and the beginning and the end are created together, I wonder why he created such a model? Why is something done even if it is God? Even God cannot escape his own rule.

Book Description
The study of wisdom is challenging and thought provoking. This volume sheds light on the age-old question: What is wisdom and where does it come from? Evidence of wisdom can be seen in both perception and performance, in sacred scriptures and in brain images. An eminent group of scholars from fields as diverse as theology, philosophy, medicine, biology, psychology, and linguistics were brought together to bring focus to this understudied area of scientific research. Editor Warren Brown presents his research on brain functioning, drawn from observing individuals with damage to specific neural areas, to suggest the importance of integration between hemispheres of the brain to comprehend complex situations in a way that may be termed “wise.” Diana Van Lancker also looks at hemispheres of the brain and explores studies that show that left brain functioning is related to prayers, chants, and sayings often used in religious practice. Wolfgang Mieder, recognized as the foremost scholar in the study of proverbs, explores the secular use of the biblical proverb of “A house divided against itself cannot stand” (Matt. 12:25). R. E. Clements also looks to the book of Proverbs and focuses on its ultimate goal: virtue and wholeness.

Book Description
"The Masters of Wisdom" is the last book to have been published during the John Bennett's lifetime, and is probably the most unusual, having little in common with his previously published works, except in serving a number of discrete objectives. Originally planned to be incorporated into a single volume to be entitled "Gurdjieff and the Masters of Wisdom" this work was separated from what became "Gurdjieff: Making a New World" which eventually was published a year earlier in 1973. In the last years of Bennett's life, he had been deeply affected by his close association with the Turkish mystic, Hasan Lutfi Shushud, and originally a contract was drawn up with a London publishing house for the combined work, in which both men were signed as joint authors. However, before anything was written, Shushud abruptly withdrew his support for the project, ostensibly on the grounds of a disagreement with the publishers. Only after Bennett's death in 1974, Shushud indicated privately that he found Gurdjieff's teaching and methods offensive. There is however some overlap between the two books, and "The Masters of Wisdom" draws on Gurdjieff's resources as well as material provided by Hasan Shushud. "The Masters of Wisdom" is unlike Bennett's other books not only in the way it is constructed, which appears to be somewhat out of balance, but also in the content. The first three chapters provide an overview of material presented 8 years earlier in the fourth volume of "The Dramatic Universe", of the Earth as single intelligent whole, in which humanity plays an increasingly active role and - must accept greater responsibility. These chapters provide an introduction to Chapter 4 which presents an account of the Christ Event not to be found anywhere else, and by Bennett's own account, arising out of insights vouchsafed to him privately by Gurdjieff. The next chapter serves as a bridge to the second major detailed message Bennett shares, which concerns the extraordinary period spanning at least 350 years, when a group of men within a single unbroken tradition played a pivotal and benign role in otherwise catastrophic events. It is not clear why Bennett devotes an entire chapter to Genghis Khan in a book entitled "The Masters of Wisdom" except that he appears to have been an exceptionally gifted individual whom Bennett apparently admired for his great self-control, and his willingness to accept guidance from a spiritual director. The researches Bennett completed in his last years led him to certain conclusions which may not have been fully expressed in this account. Unlike Bennett's other books, "The Masters of Wisdom" contains hidden messages, and also occult elements which are accessible to those able to access them. "Beelzebub's Tales to His Grandson" and "The Dramatic Universe" showed the transformative power of books, but like "Meetings with Remarkable Men" this book imparts information which remains hidden except from those readers who find the key. The book is also unlike any of Bennett's other books in containing secret "magic" elements, opening mystical channels. Since the text was left unfinished when Bennett died, it is not possible to know for certain whether the message of the book is complete or would have included other material such as the very detailed accounts that Bennett gave to his student in the last months - the "esoteric phase" - of the Third Basic Course. Overall the message is of the planet we inhabit seen as a single indivisible whole, of which we human beings are an important element, but which is subordinate to the Cosmic forces.

Book Description
Explore the mysteries of sacred knowledge with the "Corpus Hermeticum," a fascinating collection of 17 mystico-philosophical treatises attributed to the legendary Hermes Trismegistus, a syncretic figure born from the fusion of the Greek god Hermes and the Egyptian god Thoth. Written between the 1st and 3rd centuries CE, these esoteric texts unveil timeless wisdom that profoundly influenced Western thought. Compiled by Byzantine scholars in the Middle Ages, the "Corpus Hermeticum" presents a complex spiritual doctrine, blending theology, cosmology, anthropology, and soteriology. From the genesis of the universe to the quest for inner illumination, these Hermetic writings invite you on an initiatory journey to the heart of life's mysteries. Translated into Latin during the Renaissance by the humanists Marsilio Ficino and Lodovico Lazzarelli, the "Corpus Hermeticum" sparked unprecedented enthusiasm in European intellectual and artistic circles. Regarded as the expression of a prisca theologia, a primordial theology revealed by God to humanity, it fueled the speculations of alchemists, Kabbalists, and philosophers in search of ultimate knowledge. Oscillating between Christianity and paganism, Hermeticism offered a middle path to reconcile faith and reason, tradition and innovation. Its influence was felt in fields as diverse as literature, art, magic, and the occult sciences, from Giordano Bruno to Isaac Newton. Whether you are passionate about esotericism, a lover of ancient philosophy, or curious about the history of ideas, the "Corpus Hermeticum" is an essential treasure. Let yourself be spellbound by the depth of these enigmatic texts and discover the quintessence of Hermetic wisdom, at the crossroads of Personal Development, Spirituality, and Religion & Mythology. The true identity of the author of the "Corpus Hermeticum" remains shrouded in mystery. Traditionally attributed to Hermes Trismegistus, this collection is actually the work of several anonymous philosophers active in Hellenistic Egypt between the 1st and 3rd centuries CE. Hermes Trismegistus himself is a legendary figure, born from the syncretic fusion of the Greek god Hermes, messenger of the gods and guide of souls, and the Egyptian god Thoth, master of writing and wisdom. Considered the mythical initiator of Hermeticism, he is said to have received a divine revelation which he recorded in sacred books. While the historical existence of Hermes Trismegistus is a matter of legend, the ideas attributed to him have exerted a considerable influence on Western thought. Rediscovered in the Renaissance, the Hermetic corpus has fascinated generations of thinkers, artists, and seekers of truth. Although it is impossible to identify with certainty the authors of the Hermetic treatises, their philosophical and spiritual depth testifies to a thorough knowledge of the currents of thought of the time: Platonism, Stoicism, Pythagoreanism, but also mystery religions and oriental cults.

Book Description
A prolific writer and author of over 24 books, Rene Guenon was the founder of the Perennialist/Traditionalist school of comparative religious thought. Known for his discourses on the intellectual and spiritual bankruptcy of the modern world, symbolism, tradition, and the inner or spiritual dimension of religion, this book is a compilation of his most important writings. A key component of his thought was the assertion that universal truths manifest themselves in various forms in the world's religions and his writings on Hinduism, Taoism, and Sufism are particularly illuminating in this regard.

Book Description
Wisdom in Classical and Biblical Tradition begins with the recognition that modern culture emerged from a synthesis of the legacies of ancient Greek civilization and the theological perspectives of the Jewish and Christian scriptures. Part of what made this synthesis possible was a shared outlook: a common aspiration toward wholeness of understanding that refused to separate knowledge from goodness, virtue from happiness, cosmos from polis, and divine authority from human responsibility. This wholeness of understanding, or wisdom, featured prominently in both classical and biblical literatures as an ultimate good. Michael Legaspi has two central aims. The first is to explain in formal terms what wisdom is. Though wisdom involves matters of practical judgment affecting the life of the individual and the community, it has also been identified with an understanding of the world and of the ultimate realities that give meaning to human thought and action. In its traditional form, wisdom was understood to govern intellectual, social, and ethical endeavors. His second aim is to analyze figures and texts that have yielded and shaped the traditional understanding of wisdom. The book examines accounts of wisdom within foundational texts that range from the period of Homer to the destruction of the Second Temple. In doing so, it explains why the search for wisdom remains an important but problematic endeavor today.
