MISSION

It's better to light a candle than curse the darkness...

The Light Force Network is an enlightened Universal All Path esoteric non-political social environment open to ALL whose quest is evolution of Self through 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 our 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. All roads are traveled from the philosophies to the arcane to the occult. We learn infallibility is absurd because Universal Knowledge is endless and the evolution of Self is perpetually thirsty for that knowing. 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.

Light the candle.

Explore the mysteries.

Write your own script.

LFN DAILIES

~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.

-MAY 1, 2024-

ANSUZ

KEYWORDS: MESSAGES, ENCOUNTERS, CONNECTIONS

Virtues: Mental Stimulation, Capacity to Cope, Materialization

Daily Theme: ANSUZ is known as the Rune of SIGNALS. Awareness is key in dealing with this Rune. Be mindful during meetings, visits and chance encounters and look for messages that can be signs of a new life unfolding. Even a timely warning can be seen as a valuable gift. Because of its connection to the Trickster god Loki, who likes to pull out the rug out from under human beings, expect the unexpected with this Rune. Loki reaches into our comfortable lives and shakes everything up so we have to truly look within to answer the questions coming at us from without. Ansuz signifies the changes that can happen in our lives and is the messenger of their coming. Change is an essential part of life and Ansuz guarantees that change is on its way. Ansuz brings light into areas of our lives and beliefs or emotions that may not be appropriate for us anymore.

Today, crystal practitioners and advocates should work with all forms of Emerald (Inspiration, Wisdom, Unity).

LUNAR RIGHT ACTION ASPECTS: Keep your ego out of it and and behave honorably. Incoming info may be confusing so take time to sort it out. There is no reason to blow your top because things are challenging, rather look for opportunities to open up dialog with others.

"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.
