Here we examine man's duty to the Truth realized and accepted as the only way to fulfill his destiny and complete his being.

37 - Truth 2

When Jesus says, "I am the truth" what kind of understanding do we have concerning this interesting statement? Pilate said, "What is truth?" It's a good question. MacDonald explores the idea of truth in depth.

36 - Truth 1

MacDonald exposes us to an interesting study of a well known verse that opens new meaning to us if we're willing to receive it.

35 - Mirrors of the Lord

MacDonald asks how many people today would recognize Jesus if He were to show up in our town. He answers the question himself, and it’s very interesting indeed.

34 - Knowing of the Sun

MacDonald addresses the primary relationship between God the Father and Jesus the Son and how affects man and the universe of which he is part.

33 - Creation in Christ

This second half is blistering. People dedicated to their church more than to God and His Christ are going to feel the heat. As if they'd be listening to this in the first place.

32 - Truth in Jesus 2

Sometimes I think the reason these sermons were unspoken is because MacDonald knew they would fall on deaf ears. This one challenges the would be Christian to obey, one of the most difficult areas for the "churched" Christian to comprehend.

31 - Truth in Jesus 1

The biggest problem with self is self-love. It's like a cloud in front of the sun. It keeps so much that we need to be happy from getting to us so we may benefit from it, and benefit others.

30 – Self-Denial 2

MacDonald tackles possibly the most misunderstood idea in Christianity. That of self-denial and its ramifications. The self about which he writes must be properly understood before he can be put aside.

29 – Self-Denial 1

MacDonald finishes up with the justification of Job and his proper alignment with his new knowledge of God's love, mercy and justice. Job's prosperity is more than just physical as he comes to better know the ways of God are far above the ways of man.

28 - Voice of Job 4

These recordings are in depth studies of esoteric literature that we examine in our Saturday morning gatherings. Some of the books we explore are better known while others are obscure. All are rich with meaning giving us an opportunity to challenge ourselves to think in a new way. The force of understanding is created through flexibility.

I am grateful for having "The House on the Rock " brought to my attention. Why? Because it presents me with ideas that challenge my accepted and otherwise unknown, below the radar, points of view. Was it Socrates that said "know thyself"? It seems that one way in which I have come to know myself is when I am presented with new ideas and they conflict with these acquired, accepted, unthought of attitudes and just plane old mechanical habits and ways of being. If I wish to become myself and not just a carbon copy of my parents, teachers, movies, friends, magazines, books, these ideas I call myself must be challenged. This cannot happen unless they first come to light. This is not to say listen to "House on the Rock" and swallow it too, just as has been done with all the other things in life. It can be very interesting to observe what has been accepted inside oneself as oneself without even examining it to see if it is something wanted. Verify it for yourself.

New Ideas

House on the Rock is an amazing book. These are great recordings! The stuff Brian Cleeve brings up is thought provoking! Thank you Brian for having the courage to publish this work!

Fascinating Stuff

Morning Talks

A verse that has troubled some for generations is brought under the light of MacDonald's spiritual understanding. Sooner or later we feel forsaken by God. It would serve us well to remember this Unspoken Sermon.

10 - Last Temptation

Billed as half of the fulfillment of the law, we are faced with, the sometimes difficult task, of loving our neighbor. MacDonald treats the subject with the same persuasive power he meets any spiritual challenge.

12 - Love Your Neighbor

The Ocean of Love, by Kabir, is an ancient esoteric poem that presents the impact of Time on Eternity and Eternity’s response. Eternity is the Ocean of Love. Where Time touches Eternity it perverts it producing the ocean of this world, the only reality most of us know.

01 - Ocean of Love

For some the idea of being adopted by God is a stumbling block. MacDonald was one of those. He tears into Scripture to represent God as a loving Father and not just some nice guy who picks up strays.

22 - Abba Father

If the universe will allow us to get away with something, the real fool is the one who does what he could get away with not doing. If not, we must pay what we owe, even to the last penny.

21 - Last Penny

We discuss the third and fourth veils, what they represent, what it costs us to remove them and what possible effects their removal might have on us. This isn't to be taken literally, but rather figuratively. This is an inside job.

29 - Seven Mansions

A number of grim prophecies are revealed and discussed. Prophecy for our own time and also concerning future generations of man. Though they are grim, there are a number of signs that they have begun already.

17 - Seven Mansions

MacDonald addresses himself to the book of Job with a passion. This first part treats Job fairly compared with how poorly the story is misunderstood by many today.

25 - Voice of Job 1

This section lays out a mind boggling plan that incorporates the entire universe and everything in it. It stretches the limits of our understanding to grasp the scale of creation.

07 - Seven Mansions

We come to a place in the book where it becomes increasingly difficult to bear the image of ourselves as insignificant as we don't want to believe we are in the seven universes.

04 - Seven Mansions

Still in the Prologue, Kabir explains to Dharam Das, the reality. Using many analogies we sneak up on an understanding of what it takes for one to be liberated from the prison of the sense mind, false personality and the laws that bind us to them.

03 - Ocean of Love

Religion takes a beating in this part of the book. If you're very identified with religion this may be a challenge for you. If you're identified with making religions wrong this could be even more of a challenge.

16 - Seven Mansions

The Ocean of Love is a ancient poem of Kabir also known as, The Anurag Sagar. It's an esoteric story of creation explaining our condition and its remedy.

Update

The challenge of this section for the traditionally trained religious will be the expansion of consciousness necessary to overcome the objections that present themselves to us. Try to keep an open mind.

08 - Seven Mansions

Many energies are explained from an entirely different perspective than the one we have based on science and the five senses. It can be difficult to change gears and think in a new way, but that's what metanoia, change of thinking is all about.

26 - Seven Mansions

An interesting history of man's evolution over the span of three million years, from harmony with Nature to our separation from the rest of the organic film coating the planet. From instinctive telepathy to spoken language and the alienating result.

14 - Seven Mansions

A look behind the veil of flesh with which we navigate the world in which we find ourselves. Definition of terms help us to get our spiritual bearings in a simple world made complex by our misunderstanding.

09 - Seven Mansions

The New Man will have to have a new name. It's spoken of in the Revelation but not always well understood. MacDonald gives us the opportunity to dig a little deeper into its important meaning.

06 - New Name

History, as we know it, is sketchy at best. Revisionism makes it even more suspect. Some will find this look at the Exodus story from a different point of view disturbing. Nevertheless, since our aim is to expand our consciousness, raise our level of being and get new meaning, this is useful.

15 - Seven Mansions
