Fools, cowards, and those too lazy to think, accept blindly, without examination, dogmas and doctrines imposed upon them in childhood by their parents, priests, and teachers, when their minds were immature and they could not reason.
These primitive beliefs have been kept alive by a vast army of priests, preachers, and rabbis because it is to their great profit to promote them, first, by imposing them on the helpless brains of children, and second, by saturating the air, TV, press, and schools with their childish superstitions and unreasonable claims.
They fool the ignorant and make the gullible and the intelligent alike pay tribute to them. Their multi-billion-dollar properties and incomes are exempt from taxes; they get half-fare on trains, busses, and planes; and receive billions of dollars in grants of taxpayers' money to help build up their political power, wealth, and luxurious living.
"The Doomed for hell, you sinners burn", is what organized religion does to control the masses.
Also these teaching are 100% false
Religion's
Motto:
United we
stand-sit-stand-sit-kneel-stand-kneel-sit-stand divided. We condescend each
other here and kill each other elsewhere over old books and stones- and written
words we do not understand.
George Carlin: "Some time ago I figured out with the help of some reading that I can't recall now that, if it's true that we're all from the center of a star, everything atom in each of us from the center of a star, then we're all from the same thing, and even a coke machine or a cigarette butt on the street in Buffalo are made out of atoms that came from a star. They've all been recycled thousands of times as have you and I.
So, if that is true, and I am everywhere in the universe, in an extended sense, and therefore, it's only me out here, so what is there to be afraid of? What is there that needs solace-seeking? Nothing. There's nothing to be afraid of, because it's all us. So, I just have that as a backdrop, and I don't have to go to it or think of it consciously.
I've kind of accepted the idea that I'm perfectly safe and that life, nature, have waves and troughs, ups and downs, left and right, black and white, night and day, fall and winter, positive and negative. Everything has an opposite. If I have a bad time, I'll have a good time coming. If it's a good time, I'm prepared to have a bad time to sort of pay for it. So, nothing really upsets me."
George Carlin: "The trouble is, we've been separated from being that universe by being born we've been given a name and an identity and being individuated and separated from the oneness, and that's what religion exploits."
Thanks George for you perennial wisdom.
Did the iron in your blood and calcium in your bones come from a long-ago supernova? Astronomer and writer Carl Sagan thought so. "We are star stuff", Sagan once said.
Every one of
us is precious in the cosmic perspective. If a human disagrees with you, let him
live. In a hundred billion galaxies, you will not find another.
We are star stuff which has taken its destiny into its own hands.
__Carl Sagan___
I began my journey of searching for the truth back in 1974 while stationed in Japan, while serving in the Navy, it was here that I was exposed to Buddhist teachings, Martial Arts and elusive meaning KI or CHI.
After leaving the Far east I continued my quest for truth and knowledge, reading books by Baghwan, whose wisdom and insight opened a doorway into my already searching mind.
I returned to the Far East as a civilian in 1981 and for Seven more years, plunged headlong into everything Oeiental and continued soaking up everything from the Oriental mind and way of life, I am sure that if I hadn't been fortunate enough to have spent most of my young adult life in the Orient, I wouldn't have had the necessary foundation to understand things as well as I do.
From Manila to Hong kong, Bangkok to Seoul, Tapei to Tokyo, there was something of value at every juncture of my travels.
My Martial Arts background in Aikido and Tai Chi was paramount in my understanding the nature of Electromagnetism (CHI), as that quallifying substance, that everything is made up of.
Which helped to to understand such verses as;
"The kingdom of god is inside you and all around you, not in mansions made of wood and stone Cleave a (piece of) wood: I am there. Raise up the stone, and ye shall find me there".
"If those who lead you say unto you: Behold, the Kingdom is in heaven, then the birds of the heaven will be before you. If they say unto you: It is in the sea, then the fish will be before you. But the Kingdom is within you".
His disciples said to him: On what day will the kingdom come? Jesus said: "It cometh not with observation. They will not say: Lo, here! or: Lo, there! But the kingdom of the Father is spread out upon the earth, and men do not see it".
Many more books followed, each one shedding some light on the nature of reality and religion. It was Joseph Cambell's many books that eventually solidified everything that I had already read. As Joseph Campbell so clearly pointed out, anyone that takes any of these old books of mythology literally has completely missed the point.
If you literally believe that if you kill an infidel that Allah will bless you with seventy-two virgins in the land of milk and honey, you've definitely got a screw loose. These are all myths. Period.
Religion is all based on weakness and laziness. It's the throwing in of the towel on the mysteries of life. It's saying, I can't make head or tail out of any of this shit, so I'll just go with what everyone is doing.
If they're all getting down on their knees, eating a cookie and believing it's the body of Christ, then I will too. If they're all wrapping themselves in leather thongs, covering their heads with beanies, and rocking back and forth, that's what I'll do.
If everybody else is bowing to Mecca six times a day, I guess that's what I must do, too. This is the behavior of followers following the blind, off the edge of the cliff.
There is absolutely no difference between praying to Jesus, praying to Jehovah, bowing to Mecca, or lighting incense to Krishna, praying to the Easter bunny and the tooth ferry, than there is sieg heiling to Hitler, blindly following Pol Pot into the killing fields, or chopping up Tutsis with machetes. It's all called thoughtless behavior.
Master Mason: Thomas Dubose
The majority of "the people" even those of the upper classes who are educated and hold college degrees are not immune, and are passive; blind, deaf, and dumb.
They follow their mis-leaders into chaos and catastrophe.
If one of these mis-leaders jumped off of a cliff, all the followers would do likewise, as evident in the Jim Jones case, David Koresh and the branch Dividians, Heavens gate, Applewhite and others.
Most people are as lost sheep in the need of a shepherd, but unfortunately for these lost sheep the shepherd is always one who is a watch cap short of a full seabag, the shepherd is most of the time, a wolf in sheeps clothing, a meglomaniac, twisted psycho, schitzoid manic depressent, from reading the bible LITERALLY.
Paul even says it
The initiate Paul gives a number of clues about this hidden wisdom. In writing to the church at Corinth he says: ''I fed you with milk, not solid food, for you were not ready for it, and even yet you are not ready.'' (1 Cor. 3:2)
''Yet among the mature we do impart wisdom. We impart a secret and hidden wisdom of God, which God decreed before the ages for our glorification.
The greatest body of work of ancient knowledge came from the desks of Alvin Boyd Kuhn, Manly P. Hall, John Kirk Robertson, Geoffrey Hodson, Blavatsky, Curtiss, Many P hall, Edgar Cayce, G.A Gaskell, George W. Carey, Hilton Hotema, Joseph Campbell, George Carlin, Krishnamurti, Lao Tzu, Baghwan Rajneesh and Bill Donahue of Hidden meanings.
It was these great men that set my mind free, especially Bill's in depth knowledge and his website "Hidden Meanings"
Thanks to them all!
Promethius stole fire from heaven, and brought it down to Earth.
Bill took the hammer of Thor and forged the ancient knowledge into shiny minted Gold Coin and gave it to the people of the Earth.
Francis Schovel Shinn
In all the accounts given in the holy scriptures, it is clearly indicated that Original Sin was pride or egotism a desire for self, apart from the welfare of others. If thou must make a gold coin true Let thy mint these rules pursue, In the forge of continence.
Let the goldsmith be a man of patience, His tools be made of knowlwdee. His anvil made of reason, with the fear of God the bellows blow, With meditation and austerity make the fire glow, pour the liquid in the mold of love, print the name (Nam) of the lord thereon, and cool it with holy waters. for thus in the mint of truth the word is coined. This is the real Alchemy of life by the power of His Word, when found and used within the pearl of truth.
"Man is a rope
suspended between animal and superman a rope over an abyss." Nietzsche,
Thus Spoke Zarathustra
The Bible is not a
"material book" written by physical "people."
And at no time does it deal with physical people. At no point does the Bible
refer to material places, nor conditions.
Neither is it a history or resume of human experiences. The Bible has been written exclusively by You, for You, through "writers" which you have created and empowered with intelligence and spirituality.
The bible is an obscured esoteric revolutionary handbook to show you how break free, from all earthly bounds once and for all, and re-unite with your spiritual God granted birth-right, the ability to return to Eden once again.
Culturally sanctioned and instilled into our minds via all stimulus metaphor, we blindingly trudge through teachings like some blind rogue fatalist elephant. We are to either blindingly accept and remain docile; or we grow to revolt against it, only to realize the true nature of its source through its rejection.
And by all means keep out of sight from the God of the Bible, because if he finds you, he will do the following.
Isaiah 13:15-18 If God can find you, he will "thrust you through," smash your children "to pieces" before your eyes, and rape your wife.
God!, answer me this; why don't you heap coals of fire upon the Catholic church and destroy the Mosque in Mecca with extreme ague and with an inflammation, and a fever, and with a mildew, and end this religious lunacy once and for all?
Because!, didn't you learn from the beginning, that life is a struggle a fight, a striving, for if there was no fight, and no struggle, there would be no growth, you can only build muscle by opposing gravity, which I invented, by the way.
You can only come to know me, by way of a struggle a fight, so I let these bogies exist, in order that you have opposition, all of life is opposition, to keep the fight in yu, you see that is the way I designed everything in nature, there was simply no other way that I could have done it. So go now and have your fight, slug it out!
Thanks again God, for the understanding of your wisdom.
Don't mention it!
If those scribes and Pharisees that sit in Moses seat don't get it, and neither do their blind followers, well then that's their fault, not mine.
I gave them a brain and if they decided not to use it, well then, who is to blame, certainly not me! I have nothing to with it, because I do not actually interfere with human affairs, oh! and I don't answer prayers either, but you knew that already, didn't you.
You see it is very tiring to try and read the thoughts of billions of humans on this one planet, because I actually have billions of other planets in the universe that I created that have life forms on them as well, and there's simply no way I can keep up with all of you and your petty thoughts.
But if you seek within yourself, my presence will be known, I can assure you, that's the way I set it up from the beginning, and I left the instructions, for those that can read my dark speech.
Now go and prophecy in sackcloth for seven years!
And remember, I make darkness my secret place, and there I will meet you between the two Cherubims..
GOT IT!! See you there!
A wise man accepts truth and takes action, a fool laughs and makes a mockery of wisdom, which is the result of his EGO, his BIG I, he has never learned to humble himself before nature, before Universal Mind. " The humble in spirit shall inherit the earth." The devil is the EGO, greed, the lust for power only for powers sake, the want of money for self only.
We can
easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark;
the real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light.
Plato
Religion is the most malevolent of all mind viruses.

Proverbs 15:24
A word to the wise above (using your higher mind) you can depart
from Hell beneath, (being ruled by your lower nature).
Mission possible:
Are you old enough to remember the 1960's TV series "Mission Impossible? Each week the show began with Mr. Phelps finding an audio tape player with a message for him, left by an unknown ally. The tape began, "your mission, Mr. Phelps, should you choose to accept it, Every week, the voice went on to describe a bold, audacious, and dangerious quest, Mr. Phelps' Mission. Every week, Phelps accepted and we watched him create the possible out of what was Mission: Impossible.
Phelps had it easy. all he had to do was listen. for you, discovering your mission-that big scary, audacious goal, through which you fullfill your purpose and create your own reality will require more of you.
So, we say this: "Your mission, the reader, should you choose to accept it, is to find your mission: Possible for your work and your life. "do you accept this mission?
That Mission, should you decide to accept it, is to go into meditation, and recieve that light which is called God. And renew your mind.
Mission Possible! Listen, in the stillness of your mind, just as Mr. Phelps did, LISTEN, (be still and know that I am god), means to still the mind in meditation, and stop the chattering monkey within. The false self, the EGO, that was born into this world, but cannot enter into the next. "I make DARKNESS ny secret place" "Eneter into thy closet (within you) and KNOW that I am God", notice it says KNOW, not believe, nor speculate but KNOW.
That is your ultimate mission in this life. If you choose to accept it. You can reject it, or you can accept it, it's your free will do as you please. Each and every soul (Light) particle, that animates the flesh upon this earth has a mission, but you cannot know what that mission is, unless you listen to the tape recorder, which is the cosmos, the stars.
Thast's the tape recorder. It is constantly playing over and over, it never ceases to play your mission, can you hear it? If so....
You now drink in the essence of divine Logic, the understanding of sacred geometries, and the wisdom within the language of light.
Mission accomplished!
Whosoever shall make a copy thereof (of the cosmos), and shall know it upon the earth (in you), it shall act as a magical protector for him both in heaven and upon earth (Heaven's Mirror by Graham Hancock) Book of the Egyptians
"Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights: God of the bible
WOW!! The same as that evil Pagan Egyptian teaching.
How ignorant we have been.
It's all the same.
It generally takes 40 days to change a habit; 90 days to confirm the change; 120 days before the change is a part of who you are and 1,000 days before you are master of the new you.
Coincidence?
Jesus was transfigured on the mt. in 40 days
Issac was born to sarah who was 90 years old
Dark matter makes up 90% of the universe
Book: the bible in 90 days cover to cover in 12 pages a day
Psalm chapter 90, so give us knowledge of the number of our days, that we may get a heart of wisdom
120 days= 12 after you drop the zero, your 12 cranial nerves.
Rev:20:3 and cast him into the abyss, and shut it, and sealed it over him, that he should deceive the nations no more, until the thousand years were finished. After this, he must be freed for a short time.
Moses went down from the mountain, but upon seeing the calf, he too became angry. He threw down the tablets upon which God's law had been written, and broke them.
Moses then burnt the golden calf in the fire, ground it to powder, scattered it on water, and forced the Israelites to drink it.
Note: YOU CANNOT MELT GOLD IN A CAMP FIRE, IT IS NOT HOT ENOUGH.
After a bit of an interview with Aaron, Moses had "every man slay his neighbor and in that day about 3000 perished."
He then picked up the Ten Commandments I suppose and told them "You shall not kill." Go figure.
Great stuff! Moses is standing there with the words "You shall not kill," in his arms and what happens?
He goes ballistic, puts the tablets down and no doubt thinks, "we'll discuss this later," and orders the slaughter of 3000 or so people who were afraid after over a month, the man had gotten lost, died or went back to Egypt and forgot to mention it. To make it more personal, "every man was to slay his neighbor." Sure, easy enough.
It doesn't take a rocket scientist, as they say, to see why Fundamentalist Christians, Zionist Devotees and governments that swear they trust in God, get their ideas about what exactly "You shall not kill" means in practical fact. Here are several examples of how "You shall not kill" works.
Kill all who do not listen to their priests. Great idea! Even if they are wrong, no one is going to mention it.
"Anyone arrogant enough to reject the verdict of the judge or of the priest who represents the LORD your God must be put to death. Such evil must be purged from Israel." (Deuteronomy 17:12 NLT)
Kill Witches, which today means environmentalists, Wiccans and those who go to church by sitting on rocks in rivers and in the mountains to think quietly about what life means to them.
"You should not let a sorceress live." (Exodus 22:17 NAB)
Man Kills his comcubine.
"Then the man took her up upon an ass, and the man rose up, and gat him unto his place. And when he was come into his house, he took a knife, and laid hold on his concubine, and divided her, together with her bones, into twelve pieces, and sent her into all the coasts of Israel.”
Eating children
2 Kings 6:28-29
“And the king said unto her, What aileth thee? And she answered, This woman said
unto me, Give thy son, that we may eat him today, and we will eat my son
tomorrow. So we boiled my son, and did eat him: and I said unto her on the next
day, Give thy son, that we may eat him: and she hath hid her son.”
Of
course, Kill Homosexuals.
"If a man lies with a male as with a women, both of them shall be put to death for their abominable deed; they have forfeited their lives." (Leviticus 20:13 NAB)
Kill the nice lady who is a Fortuneteller. That's the job of the Priests and male Prophets.
"A man or a woman who acts as a medium or fortuneteller shall be put to death by stoning; they have no one but themselves to blame for their death." (Leviticus 20:27 NAB)
Kill the kids who get a bit too angry with issues unresolved. Abraham taking Isaac up to sacrifice him without discussing it comes to mind.
"Whoever strikes his father or mother shall be put to death. (Exodus 21:15 NAB)
Kill the kids who don't hit the folks, but verbally respond inappropriately. The lamp going out thing is not mom and dad saying' "night, night" as we might think.
"If one curses his father or mother, his lamp will go out at the coming of darkness." (Proverbs 20:20 NAB)
Death for Adultery. Please keep in mind here, the issue is taking a man's property, not romance.
"If a man commits adultery with another man's wife, both the man and the woman must be put to death. (Leviticus 20:10 NLT)
And for hormone flushed teens and single people, Death for Fornication. Prominent teens are a great example to others.
"A priest's daughter who loses her honor by committing fornication and thereby dishonors her father also, shall be burned to death." (Leviticus 21:9 NAB)
Death to Followers of Other Religions, which would be most of the planet. Notice, there are other gods in this context, but the jealous god won't tolerate it.
"Whoever sacrifices to any god, except the Lord alone, shall be doomed." (Exodus 22:19 NAB)
Kill Nonbelievers, which again would be most humans.
"They entered into a covenant to seek the Lord, the God of their fathers, with all their heart and soul; and everyone who would not seek the Lord, the God of Israel, was to be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman." (2 Chronicles 15:12-13 NAB)
Kill False Prophets, which would have included Isaiah, Jeremiah and Ezekiel if you asked the right questions.
"If a man still prophesies, his parents, father and mother, shall say to him, "You shall not live, because you have spoken a lie in the name of the Lord." When he prophesies, his parents, father and mother, shall thrust him through." (Zechariah 13:3 NAB)
Kill the Entire Town if One Person Worships Another God
"you must attack that town and completely destroy all its inhabitants, as well as all the livestock. Then you must pile all the plunder in the middle of the street and burn it. Put the entire town to the torch as a burnt offering to the LORD your God." Deuteronomy 13:13-19.
Kill Women Who Are Not Virgins On Their Wedding Night. Oh! How do they figure out who is and who isn't and who collects this information?
"But if this charge is true, and evidence of the girls virginity is not found, they shall bring the girl to the entrance of her fathers house and there her townsman shall stone her to death... (Deuteronomy 22:20-21 NAB)
Kill Followers of Other Religions especially if they are you beloved partner or intimate friend.
"If your own full brother, or your son or daughter, or your beloved wife, or you intimate friend, entices you secretly to serve other gods...kill him... (Deuteronomy 13:7-12 NAB)
Kill Anyone, but Levites, who Approaches the Tabernacle
"...Whenever the Tabernacle is moved, the Levites will take it down and set it up again. Anyone else who goes too near the Tabernacle will be executed.' (Numbers 1:48-51 NLT)
Kill People for Working on the Sabbath. No wonder attendance is down.
"...Work six days only, but the seventh day must be a day of total rest. I repeat: Because the LORD considers it a holy day, anyone who works on the Sabbath must be put to death.' (Exodus 31:12-15 NLT)
Don't even think of being curious or wonder if what you are told is true. (How long does it take 50,000 men to look into the ark?
"And he smote of the men of Beth-shemesh, because they had looked into the ark of Jehovah, he smote of the people seventy men, `and' fifty thousand men... (1Samuel 6:19-20 ASV)
Kill Sons of Sinners. Seems a bit unfair to me, but what do I know. This could make certain government types nervous.
"Make ready to slaughter his sons for the guilt of their fathers; Lest they rise and posses the earth, and fill the breadth of the world with tyrants. (Isaiah 14:21 NAB)
Kill Men, Women, and Children, which is an oft repeated command.
"Then I heard the LORD say to the other men, "Follow him through the city and kill everyone whose forehead is not marked. Show no mercy; have no pity! Kill them all – old and young, girls and women and little children." (Ezekiel 9:5-7 NLT)
Generally mean killing. Be sure to kill the kids so the parents can die seeing it happen.
"Anyone who is captured will be run through with a sword. Their little children will be dashed to death right before their eyes. Their homes will be sacked and their wives raped by the attacking hordes. For I will stir up the Medes against Babylon, and no amount of silver or gold will buy them off. The attacking armies will shoot down the young people with arrows. They will have no mercy on helpless babies and will show no compassion for the children. (Isaiah 13:15-18 NLT)
Makes you wonder about those folks that demand the Ten Commandments be displayed in the State House doens't it?
Why is it that Judaism and Christianity in particular trumpet their great laws and rules for good living, such as we think we find in the Ten Commandments, and are the worst killers on the planet at times? Why are there a hundred exceptions to the simple truth of "You shall not kill," to where it is a meaningless law?
Why has the Christian church murdered and slaughtered it's way into the hearts of good Christians everywhere and somehow it's ok both historically and to this very day? I'd say it has a lot to do with thinking that somehow all of the above examples are still the way to go and how God still wishes things to be. Frankly it's what you get when you mix the new wine in the old wineskin, but they don't seem to find that a reason to stop dong it. Killing others is a pure power ploy on the part of the perverted, it's called mindless.
In many ways, the Ten Commandments are not as deeply spiritual truths as some would make them out to be. The reason one is not allowed to worship other gods is because this God is apparently a jealous one and won't tolerate the worship of other gods. Notice it doesn't say there aren't any, it just says worship of them is not tolerated by this jealous God. Jealousy implies competition.
Whatever "you shall not kill" was supposed to mean, it has no meaning in practical fact or practice in religious circles.
It is a fact, that it is the Christians themselves that always rally behind their misleader for the case of war and killing. In the name of GOD of course.
Is there a time to kill others? I suppose so. Solomon thought so. But killing seems to be what you do when you run out of other ideas like talking, discussing, tolerating and remembering that all people don't view things the same way as others. Everyone has different experiences and just happens to grow up where they grow up, no one having asked them permission to have it be as it is.
Palistinians kill because they are being pushed out. Israelis kill because they are being pushed at. Iraqis kill because they are being over run and taken advantage of, and Americans kill because they are told it is to protect our freedoms and keep them from coming "over here." Some Christian types kill because you or I won't believe their tall tales about how close they are in touch with the true Church or ways of the true Deity and how out of whack our particular ideas are to theirs.
Close down all religious reactions and motives for a month and see how peaceful the front page reads and how much less anguish, crying and shock over the deaths of loved ones occurs. Just a thought. God save me from your followers, as they say. Makes me nervous to think we have those in government who think there is a bridge between the Bible and religion and secular government instead of a wall. It's SEPARATION of Church and State and Freedom of ALL religion, not just the chosen ones.
Whatever "You shall not kill" means to Christians and those of the "the Book," it really means nothing discernable in the real world of religion. Something is really sick about how devotees interperate their spirituality. Perhaps it's only about power and control of others after all. "He who kills the first one, has obviously run out of sane ideas."
"You shall not kill." Perhaps we need to either practice it and not just recite it, or get a new text with a bit fewer repulsive examples of how it is to be administered.
From the Book of the Egyptians
All fishermen, all hunters…I extract from them one tenth of the take of all these…One shall give the branded animals for all burnt offerings and daily sacrifices, and one shall give one-tenth of gold, ivory, ebony, ochre, carob wood, carnelian, all kinds of timber…" (as translated by Lichtheim)
Sounds just like the Bible doesn't it?
When are Human Beings at Their Best?
When human beings have fully blossomed, when they've reached a certain level of soul maturity that is balanced, neither too aggressive nor too ineffectual, they are a wonder to behold, bursting with life and love.
These divine beings have a tremendous sense of humor, knowing well that there is no reason to take this long, strange trip seriously. This wondrous state of being does not require extraordinary intelligence but wisdom, which can be found even within a tiny seed. The intelligence it does require is that which compels all living creatures to truly be alive. This natural state is in fact the same in which animals live; it is not difficult to attain. Yet, because of ego encrustation, many people cannot regain this experience, which is that of childhood.
People at their best maintain the awe and wonder of a child while developing the responsibility and integrity of true adulthood. They are sensitive and empathetic, sharing in the pain of others and providing remedy. Yet they are not emotional basketcases who become too debilitated by tragedy for their own good and that of others.
Of course, such an experience is necessary for a soul to mature, but there comes a time when one has had enough and demands change for one's own life, those of loved ones and of all life in general. The metamorphosis into a true human being is propelled by the painful experiences. At the point of blooming, one has truly decided that pain is to be avoided and that one's actions will be designed to provoke the most amount of happiness and bliss.
"It is clear that human beings, free from stifling and enslaving ideologies, can become great, exalted and divine."
Part of the
Jesuit oath:
I do further promise and declare,
that I will have no opinion or
will of my own, or any mental reservation whatever, even as a corpse or cadaver,
but will unhesitatingly obey each and every command that I may receive from
my superiors in the
Militia of the Pope.
I furthermore promise and declare that I will, when opportunity presents, make and wage relentless war, secretly or openly, against all heretics, Protestants and Liberals, as I am directed to do, to extirpate and exterminate them from the face of the whole earth, and that I will spare neither age, sex or condition; and that i will hang, burn, waste, boil, flay, strangle and bury alive these infamous heretics, rip up the stomachs and the wombs of their women and crush their infants heads against the walls, in order to annihilate forever their execrable race.
That when the same cannot be done openly, I will secretly use the poisoned cup, the strangulating cord, the steel of the poniard or the leaden bullet, regardless of the honor, rank, dignity, or authority of the person or persons, whatever may be their condition in life, either public or private, as I at any time may be directed so to do by any agent of the Pope or Superior of the Brotherhood of the Holy Faith, of the Society of Jesus. - Edwin A Sherman, The Engineer Corps of Hell; or Rome's Sappers and Miners, Private subscription, 1883, pp. 118-124.
If this doesn't
horrify the Roman Catholics and the rest of all of the wholesome sentient human
beings on this earth, then nothing will.
Ingersoll was correct when he said, "If a man would follow, today, the teachings of the Old Testament, he would be a criminal..
God is the life force
God is Electromagnetism, not a Man with a beard.
In the Far East, this life force has been discerned as and termed "the Tao." The Tao is the "thing" that makes birds chirp, cats purr and the sap of the trees run. We can also call it cosmic consciousness. It is simply an energy, sentience or spirit that pervades all things. Far from having gender, as we have been led to believe, it is the magnetic principle between the male and female potencies.
Isn't this exactly what Jesus said in the Gospel of Thomas?
We have drawn lines in the sand, when all of the great spiritual teachings say the same thing, just in a different wrapper and a different cast of characters.
It is also the male and
female polarities themselves. This Great Spirit, Tao, or God, encompasses all
things. If it is not all-encompassing, it is not God. Anything less than the
total is not God. The definition of "God" is omnipresence itself. Nothing is
outside of "God."
God is "empty
awareness" which creates the life force. A consciousness guiding energy. But
then since we exist within this consciousness we really can not separate
ourselves from it, nor the energy it creates.
I reject anything claiming to be ultimate truth. Quantum physicists are now able to show us that the world is not as we think we see it, that truth is subjective. In a very real sense each of us creates our own reality.
Any "ultimate
reality" would have no shape, form or color but would encompass all shapes,
forms and colors. Hence, it could not be a Jewish man, or an Indian man, or an
Arab man. Or a Japanese woman.
Or a Cosmic Porcupine, or anything else the human mind has made up.
The "ultimate
reality" would therefore be No Thing, which would paradoxically be a
non-reality.
And Jesus said;
"Have you found the
beginning, then, that you are looking for the end? You see, the end will be
where the beginning is.
Congratulations to the one who stands at the
beginning: that one will know the end and will not taste death."
Here Jesus is making reference to MEDITATION, because in meditation, time stops,
there is only the NOW!, the past (the beginning) stops, the future (the end)
also stops. It is the BEGINNING of the END. This is the place of HEAVEN, NIRVANA
etc. The place of nothingness which is everything.
Call it
The Spirit of The Universe or Mind, whatever you wish to, every human being has
incredible power. The problem is that most folks have been programmed so well
that they aren't able to see the endless possibilities life offers up to us.
Without having had a shift of paradigm we live our lives in an illusion yet
believe it to be real.
Of course a human concept can be grasped, but any attempt to describe IT, whatever IT is, is to not describe it at all. Lao Tzu of Taoism.
I love Santa Claus, Easter Bunny, and all the other crazy traditions that keep our lives interesting they are loads of fun, but the line is drawn when myths are presented as unquestionable fact.
If you had been born in the ancient world, in Greece or Rome, we would be discussing the reality of Zeus or Jupiter.
God's name
The word "God" comes from the German "gott" and the proto-Indo-European "*ghut," meaning "that which is invoked." The related Sanskrit term is "huta," which means "invoked" and which was an epithet for the ancient god Indra. "God" may also be derived from the proto-Indo-European "*ghu-to," which means "poured," as in a libation. The Germanic word "God" did not become masculinized, i.e., a male, until the advent of Christianity. "God" is deus in Latin and dios, dia, zeus and theos in Greek.
On mythology
What is myth, the dictionary says that myths are stories about gods.
What is god?
A god is a personification of a motive power or a value system that functions in human life and in the universe.
The powers of your own body and of nature. The myths are metaphorical of spiritual potentiality in the human being, and the same powers that animate our life, animate the life of the world.
Moyer: far from undermining my faith, your work in mythology has liberated my faith from the cultural prisons to which it had been sentenced.
Joseph Campbell: It liberated my own, and I know it is going to do that with anyone who gets the message.
Joseph campbell said; that when you start interpreting ancient scriptures as facts, then your're in trouble.
For example, jesus ascended to heaven. The denotation would seem to be that somebody ascended to the sky. That's literally what is being said. But elsewhere it is written "look not lo here, nor lo there, for the kingdom of god is within you" Not out there in outer space.
But if that were really the meaning of the message, then we have to throw it away, becaue there would have been no such place for jesus literally to go. We know that jesus could not have ascended to heaven because there is no physical heaven anywhere in the universe.
Even ascending at the speed of light, Jesus would still be in the galaxy, Astronomy and physics have simply eliminated that as a literal, physical possibility. but if you read "Jesus ascended to heaven" in terms of it's metaphoric connotation, you see that he has gone inward, not into outer space, but into inner space, to the place from which all beings comes, into the consciousness that is the source of all things.
The kingdom of heaven within.
The images are outward, but the reflection is inward. the point is that we should ascend with him by going inward, it is a metaphor of returning to the source, alpha and omega, leaving the fixation on the body behind and going to the body's dynamic source.
According to the normal way of thinking about the christian religion, we cannot identify with jesus, we have to imitate Jesus. To say, " I and the father are one" as Jesus said, is blamphemy for us. However, in the Gospel of Thomas that was dig up 40 years ago, Jesus says; "he who drinks from my mouth will become as I am, and I shall be he." Now, that is exactly Buddhism. We are all manifestations of Buddha consciousness, or Christ consciousness, only we don't know it.
The word Buddha means "the one who woke up." We are all to do that, to wake up to the Christ or Buddha consciousness within us,]. this is blasphemy in the normal way of Christian thinking, but it is the very essence of Christian Gnosticism and the Gospel of Thomas.
How did we lose touch with this reality? one word "religion."
Religion took away the mystical experience and replaced it with dogma, ceromonies and tradition, for the purpose of controlling the measses. They couldn't have people having enlightenment experieces of truth, because thay would then lose their own power, so the real power of Jesus as an inner transformation was put in the shadows, or in a box as it were. So the people were in fact dummied down for the past two thousand years.
Qusetion to Mr. Campbell; As we sit here and talk, there is one story after another of car bombings in Beirut-by the Muslims of the Christians, by the Christians of the Muslims, and by the Christians of the Christians. It strikes me that Marshall McLuhan was right when he said that television has made a global village of the world-but he didn't know the global village would be in Beirut.
What does this say?
Joseph Campbell; It says to me that they don't know how to apply their religious ideas to contemporay life, and to human beings rather than just their own community. It's a terrible example of the failure of religion to meet the modern world. These three MYTHOLOGIES are fighting it out. they have disqualified themselves for the future. Eventuallyall religions will all have to abandoned, before man can rise up to the occasion of the universe, and truly follw Jesus, Buddha and Krishna.
Religions have been busying themselves with separating people from one another and creating most of the wars and killing on this planet since it's inception.
When humanity finally wakes up, and realizes that religion has been the root cause of most of the suffering on this planet either physicall or mentally, then we can get on with our collective goal of entering back into lost paradise.
We can't go in as long as religion keeps the doors to paradise closed, and thay hide the lock to the door.
But people are getting the message, thay are getting smarter and beginning to wake up, I think this is what the mtythology of Aquarius is bringing us.
"In god we trust, just not the god of the bible."
Joseph campbell.
Thank you for the enlightment Mr. Campbell.
Truly, the man of the hour!
It has served us well this myth of Christ - Pope Leo X
The Christian resolve to find the world ugly and bad, has made it ugly and bad Fredrick Nietzsche
There has never existed in the world anything more intensely vile, contemptuous, and dangerous to freedom, peace and progress as deeply held blind faith in organized religions and holy dogmas.
Without contraries there is no progression. Attraction and Repulsion, Reason and Energy, Love and Hate, are necessary to Human existence. From these contraries spring what the religions call Good and Evil, God and the devil.
Men never do evil so completely and cheerfully as when they do it from religious conviction – Blaise Pascal
You have been duped by religion your whole life, you have been reading a coded book, called the bible, which is MYTHOLOGY, none of ever happened LITERALLY, but is does happen within the human mind.
Wake up! said Paul. Wake up Asses couched between two burdens. The left and right hemispheres of your brains.
The whole power of the pulpit has been used for hundreds of years to destroy the confidence of man in himself to induce him to distrust his own powers of thought, to believe that he was wholly unable to decide any question for himself, and that all human virtue consists in faith and obedience
The church has said 'Believe and obey!' If you reason you will become an unbeliever, and unbelievers will be lost. If you disobey, you will do so through vain pride and curiosity, and will, like Adam and Eve, be thrust from Paradise forever! For my part, I care nothing for what the church says, except in so far as it accords with my reason, and it never has.
An ass which turns a
millstone did a hundred miles walking. When it was loosed, it found that it was
still at the same place. There are men who make many journeys, but make no
progress towards any destination.
When evening came upon him, he saw neither city nor village, neither human
artifact nor natural phenomenon, power nor angel. In vain has the wretch
labored.
JOSEPH
CAMPBELL, THE FAMOUS MYTHOLOGIST SAYS THIS:
People living on the levels of Chakras 1, 2, or 3
are living on animal levels.
Animals, too, cling
to life. Animals,
too, beget their future. Animals, too, fight to win.
So people on these levels have to be controlled by social law, Dharma.
Just think of what our popular religions like Christianity are concerned with, prayers for health, wealth, progeny, and victory. That is asking the gods to serve your animal nature.
The Warring mind.
This is popular religion.
Joseph Campbell.
In god we trust, just not the God of the bible.
"I tried to find him on the
Christian cross, but He was not there; I went to the
Temple of the Hindus and to the old pagodas, but I could not find a trace of Him
anywhere.
I searched on the mountains and in the valleys but neither in the heights nor in
the depths was I able to find him. I went to the caaba in Mecca, but He was not
there either.
I questioned the scholars and philosophers but he was beyond there
understanding.
I then looked into my heart and it was there where He dwelled that I saw Him; He
was nowhere else to be found."
- RUMI
And in meditation, the seed of Jesus will take hold, and grow within you! But first you must die to your lower ego and fall to the ground.
As all seeds grow out of nothingness, and darkness, so must the seeds of Jesus
fruit ate in you SEVEN times, in the darkness of your mind.
The whole of the Bible is a mythological account of the internal war, culminating in the greatest and final battle the world has ever known, Armageddon. And this battle is against the EGO.
The greatest destroyer the world has ever known. All of gods angels/angles must
muster and stand ready with swords drawn, brimstone in their pouches trumpeting
the arrival of the ONE, God .
We were born with two natures, a lower mind, called the carnal mind in the bible, and a higher potential.
The entire story of revelations is an account of the internal warfare that takes place during meditation, as the ego (Satan) slowly dissolves, and a new mind is born of a higher consciousness, called the new Jerusalem in the bible.
This war in heaven never even begins, until one takes up the practice of meditation, until then nothing happens, there's no adversary.
The hardest thing for us human animals to do is to give up our personalities, our ego nature, the person who we think we are.
It is a battle of epic proportions as the book of revelations so aptly points out.
Its a journey of the souls rise from the descent of matter to the light in the pineal gland and fornix of the brain, as seen by jacob, also Saul, when he was stricken by a flash of light from heaven, on the road to damascus, and was blinded.
This story has fooled the ages for sure, wars have been fought, people have been killed fighting over its misunderstood texts, the holy land jerusalim is sitting on your shoulders, all the while there are still wars being fought over the false holy land and false temples in a country called Israel.
AMAZING!!!
Religion has to be the biggest HOAX the world has ever known, yet the Bible is the most complete book of the souls journey to God , in the world.
Religion has to be the biggest HOAX the world has ever known, yet the Bible is the most complete book of the souls journey to God , in the world.
The book of Revelation ends with the destruction of Babylon (the lower nature)
and the manifestation of the new Jerusalem (the higher mind) descending from
heaven as a bride adorned for her husband.
The great truth we are
considering is the fundamental truth running through all religions..
The mystical or metaphysical interpretation is the only true one. We are forever
quarreling over which religion is right, which one is true.
The fact is many of the great religions hold the fundamental truth that the
kundalini is the way to gods house.
Its in the Buddhist teachings, its in the Hindu teaching and its in the bible.
The view of God in regard to which we can agree, is that He is Infinite Spirit
or Infinite Intelligence, which is Light, and back of all, that is working in
and through all, that is the life of ALL, is a matter in regard to which all
religions can agree.
With this view there can be no infidels or atheists. There are infidels and
atheists in connection with many views that are held concerning God, and thank
God there are. Even devout and earnest people among us attribute things to God
that no respectable men or women would permit to be attributed to themselves.
This view is
satisfying to those who cannot see how God can be angry, jealous, vindictive,
find fault and cast blame. God cannot by his very nature do any of these things,
He is pure Light and Immutable Law, and cannot portray any such behavior, it is
not within his/its nature to do so.
A display of these qualities always lessens our reverence and respect for men
and women who attribute them to God. There are positive and negative in nature,
yin and yang in all life.
The earnest sincere heretic is one of the greatest friends a true religion can
have. Heretics are among Gods greatest servants. They are among the servants of
mankind. The character Jesus was one of the greatest heretics.
He allowed
himself to be bound by no established or orthodox teachings or beliefs. Jesus is
preeminently a type of the universal. Which we as humans are to strive for.
All can recognize
the Infinite while standing about their own homes, or on the hillside, or by
pursuing the avocations of every-day life. For true recognition only God and the
human soul are necessary.
Anywhere any time God and man in the bush may meet. One who doesn't grasp this
great truth, a Christian for example, asks "but was not the Bible inspired ?"
Yes, but he was not the only one inspired. Another who was a Buddhist asks, "Was
not Buddha scriptures inspired?" Yes, but he was not the only one inspired.
Yes, but there are other inspired scriptures. A Brahman or a Buddhist asks, "Are
not the Vedas inspired?" Yes, but there are other inspired sacred books. The
problem is not in believing that your particular scriptures are inspired, but
the problem is and the world shows it's absurd, laughable limitations by it,
their inability to see that other scriptures are inspired.
The sacred books
of Buddha, Hindu or whatever, are all inspired writings from the same source,
God, speaking through the souls of those who have opened themselves up so that
he may thus speak. Some may be more inspired than others.
It depends entirely on the relative degree that this one or that one opens
himself to the divine voice. Says one of the inspired writers in the Hebrew
scriptures, Wisdom is the breath of the power of God.
Let us not be among the number so dwarfed, so limited, so bigoted as to think
that the Infinite has revealed Himself to one little handful of his children, in
one little quarter of the globe, and at one particular period of time in
history.
This is not the pattern in which God works. Of a truth I perceive that God is no
respecter of persons, but in every Nation he that revereth God and worketh
righteousness is accepted of Him, says the Bible.
"The doctrine of
our master says the Chinese, consisted solely in integrity of the heart." We
will find as we search that this is the doctrine of every one who is at all
worthy of the name Master.
The great fundamental principles of all religions are the same. They differ only
in their minor details according to the various degrees of unfoldment of
different people. "I am sometimes asked, what religion do you belong ?
What religion? No religion,
religion is the anti Christ, it has kept you from the truth.
There is only
one truth. "Whatever road I take Joins the highway that leads to thee." says the
inspired writer in the Persian scriptures.
"Broad is the carpet God has
spread, and beautiful the colors he has given it."
"The pure man respects every form of faith," says the Buddhist.
"My doctrine makes no difference between high and low, rich and poor; like the
sky, it has room for all, and like the water, it washes all alike."
"The
broad minded see the truth in different religions; the narrow minded see only
the differences."
"The narrow minded ask, "Is this man a stranger, or is he of our tribe? But to
those of the Universal say "The whole world is but one family."
Let all grasp this great
truth; so that all can come to oneness with the Infinite.
Said the
young man, Gautama Siddhartha, I have awakened to the truth
and I am resolved to accomplish my purpose.
Verily I shall become a Buddha.
It was this
that brought him into the life of the Enlightened One, and so into the
realization of Nirvana right here in this life. That this same realization and
life is within the possibilities of all here and now was his teaching.
It was this that has made him the Light Bearer to millions of people.
Said the young man Jesus, know
ye not that I must be about my fathers business?
Making this the one great
purpose of his life he came into full and complete realization, I and the father
are one. He thus came into full realization of the Kingdom of Heaven right here
in this life.
That all could come into this same realization and life here and now was his
teaching. It was this that made him the Light Bearer to millions of people.
And so far as the practical things are concerned, we may hunt the wide Universe
through and we shall find that there is no injunction more practical than, "Seek
ye first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness and all other things will be
added unto you.
If you practice the single
eye as instructed by Jesus, meditate and seek within. Buddha said watch and
Jesus said watch. WATCH
The study and mystery of Occult science reveals to man the mysteries of his
nature, the secrets of the Universe,
and the hidden possibilities
and the means by which he may attain Happiness, the successful achievements
of
his life's purpose and, lastly, a degree of perfection; in short, the aim and
end of his destiny.
This is the secret if
initiation, and has been its purpose since the first man became conscious of his
soul or spiritual self and inaugurated the mysteries whereby all men might, if
they so desired, attain spiritual consciousness, where the Kingdom of God will
be found.
The "Key" to this process is the hidden teaching in all sacred writings; it is
the basic foundation of all religious Teachings.
Bound
by no limiting religion of the day, men who to this day carry their lamps with
them by way of their very words.
Dare!
to walk in the footsteps of these great men.
You can if you except the Universal Truth about what you have read in this book
and by utilizing the Laws on the Positive side, you to can walk in their
footsteps. This is truly; the "Pearl of Great Price."
Emerald Tablet
Now to thee give I the
secrets: now to
meet the dark power, meet and conquer the fear from the night. Only by knowing
can ye conquer, Only be knowing can ye have LIGHT. Now I give unto thee the
knowledge, known to the MASTERS, the knowing that conquers all the dark fears.
Use this, the wisdom I give thee. MASTER thou shalt be of THE BROTHERS OF NIGHT.
When unto thee comes a feeling, drawing thee nearer to the darker gate, examine
thine heart and find if the feeling thou hast has come from within.
If thou shalt find the darkness thine own thoughts, banish them forth from the
place in thy mind. Send through thy body a wave of vibration, irregular first
and regular second, repeating time after time until free. Start the WAVE FORCE
in thy BRAIN CENTER.
END
Here we see Thoth directing us to the secret wisdom, in the brain center (the
pineal gland ) which removes the darkness, and illuminates the mind. The
vibrations and waves are the energy rising up the spine through the seven seals.
to the brain.
Direct it in waves from thine head to thy foot. But if thou findest thine heart
is not darkened, be sure that a force is directed to thee. Only by knowing can
thou overcome it. Only be wisdom can thou hope to be free.
Directing the energy to different parts of the body has been known through the
ages, as energy follows thought. Thoth is telling you to direct this CHI,
electromagnetism from your feet to your head, in other words your whole body.
Just as Jesus instructed.
"if your eye be single, your whole body will fill with LIGHT (god). And I call this place Peneil (Pineal), the pineal gland of the brain. Where Jacob saw God face to face.
When the separated self disintegrates (See, The Last Supper) the knowledge of God and the true self resurrects from the temporal 'tomb' of matter and 'Elvis then has the opportunity to leave the building' the way that the Pharaoh has left the Great Pyramid, the way that Christ vacated the tomb, the way that energy (as light) is released by matter and the way that consciousness has the advanced ability to come and go from 'form'.
Regarding sin
Sin is nothing more than having dualistic conceptual thoughts and a clinging to selfish desires and ego separated from the oneness of the Cosmos and all of nature.
"Sin" is to be enslaved by matter and the animal nature, thus losing all sight of spiritual development. There is no inherent "badness" in matter and the animal nature. Man must become the master of his animal nature if he is to progress.
That's how sinful religion really is.
The real events of religion are not of this world; its kingdom is interior; its acts are all spiritual and essential. We ' must be born again' into another sphere, upon anothe plane, converted from the material to the immaterial, before we can apprehend heavenly things."
The moon "dies" then is brought to life by the light of the sun.
The wise Sailor always looks for a lighthouse to guide him safely to port.
The lighthouse is a metaphor for the spine with the pineal gland on top, the candlestick in the bible. it is your beacon, calling you to enter within, so that you may arrive at the great port of the enlightened mind, and join the great men and women that have entered before you.
Shinig brightly through the dense fog of religious suoerstition, the lighthouse forever shines it's beacon.
Your body and mind are the ships sailing upon the waters of life, with a compass that has gone south, due to religious superstitions.
A good Captain always knows to keep an eye out for the lighthouse, so that he may arrive at his port of destination.
The most ancient Eastern
spiritual texts, the Vedas, of India, tell us that the process of spiritual
awakening by which one attains truth awareness is called Self-Realisation.
The Self Realized person lives in direct experience of reality this is called "Jnana"
( a traditional sanskrit word meaning knowledge or Gnosis'). Such a person is
called a "Jnani", KNOWER or Gnostic.
It only comes through meditation or (Jeu) or "dwijaha" (twice born; first from a
human mother to the earthly plane then secondly as a child of the Goddess, or
Divine Mother (the higher mind), who gives the seeker their second, spiritual
birth, Self Realisation, into the plane of mystic awareness-gnosis!
You see the original
Egyptian word was JEU, which became JEW, one who meditates and seeks within
his/her self.
The traditional Indian texts extol the 'Divine Mother' as the Cosmic
Matriarch, bestower of the highest treasure of Self Realisation upon Her
deserving children.
Many Indian mystic traditions say this same goddess is represented within the
human being as the divine feminine power called Kundalini. Brought forth only
through the practice of MEDITATION.
The Church tried
with all their power to stamp out this basic simple truth.
Quote: "St. Athanasius, bishop and patriarch of Alexandria,
was not only aware of the allegorical nature of biblical texts, but he
'admonishes us that "Should we understand sacred write according to the letter,
we should fall into the most enormous blasphemies."
In other words, it is a sin to take the Bible
literally!
"Christian father Origen, called the most accomplished biblical scholar of the
early church, admitted the allegorical and esoteric nature of the Bible: The
Scriptures were of little use to those who understood them literally, as they
were written."
Not with observation; neither shall they say, Lo here! or, Lo there! For behold,
the kingdom of God is within you." New Testament, Luke 17:20-21
I've seen people who could be the meanest, most foul-mouthed, dishonest
individuals all week, and on Sunday morning in church they would reverse gears
and become loving saints, singing God's praises.
Monday comes around, and these people are back to their carnal selves. That's
because no real CHANGE has ever come over the persons mind. They are still
animals at the GUT level of their being.
And the moment
you reject life you start looking for some other life and you become worried
about whether it is going to be better than this life or not. It may be worse.
That's what hell is: the fear of a worse life than this. And that is nirvana:
the greed for a better life than this. But there is no other life; there is no
hell, no heaven. Only fools are interested in such things. Jagdit Singh
What Indian scriptures say about hell is nothing but talk about America! If
right now you dig a hole wherever you are sitting here and go on digging you
will reach to America, because the earth is round. But the Americans also think
in the same geographical way, that hell is below.
If they look into the hole, you will be in hell. You will think they are in hell
and they will think you are in hell. And only my sannyasins will Laugh at the
whole affair. Who is above and who is below?
These heaven/hell concepts have nothing to do with geography or space, and they
don't have anything to do with time either. So it is not a question of
tomorrows, not a question of something after death.
It is a question of understanding, it is a question of meditation, it is
question of becoming utterly silent, herenow. There is no other space than the
here and no other time than the now. These two words contain the whole
existence: "now", "here".
If they look into the hole, you will be in hell. You will think they are in hell
and they will think you are in hell. And only my sannyasins will Laugh at the
whole affair. Who is above and who is below?
Jesus said, "If your leaders say to you, 'Look, the (Father's) kingdom is in the
sky,' then the birds of the sky will precede you. If they say to you, 'It is in
the sea,' then the fish will precede you. Rather, the (Father';s) kingdom is
within you and it is outside you.
Jesus said, "Know what is in front of your face, and what is hidden from you
will be disclosed to you.
"It will not come by watching for it. It will not be said, 'Look, here!' or
'Look, there!' Rather, the Father's kingdom is spread out upon the earth, and
people don't see it."
Jesus said, "If a blind person leads a blind person, both of them will fall into
a hole." And Buddha said " what use is a staff to a blind man." This is
referring to spiritual blindness, not LITERAL blindness.
Don't follow religion, because they are blind. The staff is always the spine, or
sometimes called rod, it is the symbol of the self, because it holds you up
right, what good is your spine if you don't throw it down (humble yourself
before the Universe) and turn it into a snake.
Sailing The Seven Seas
Of Life, which are your SEVEN chakras.
When we arrive into this world, we enter as a ship that is navigated by the forces of nature and propelled by the power in the invisible auras of Spirit. It takes a few years for us to launch our ship with a self-propelled, man-made motor.
During this process we are taken to many shipyards for a refit to our intellects knowingness. We are trained by man-made ideologies and our natural awareness starts to go down deep inside the "Davy Jones locker" within us.
We are taught to accept a new identity that will become the captain of our ship. We have to pass many tests of approval by our Admiralty of misguided intellects. Once we believe we are qualified to be our own pilot and navigator we set out to chart our voyage of a lifetime.
Sailing the Seven Seas Of Life
As we sail along on the seas of life's journey we stop at many ports of call to
pick up passengers and cargo. Some of these passengers become permanent guests
in our lives.
Some come for a short trip as they were sent to us to fill a need. Our thoughts advertised we were in need of advice and guidance so they came along for that part of our journey, for they knew the waters we were sailing. They steered us clear of dangers and helped us weather passing storms.
Then
they went on there way. Some died of a sickness or old age but their souls stay
with us for guidance, as long as we know where they are located in our inner
sanctuary. These were the angels that we asked to help steer our course. We
still have our trusted physical crew all around our ship and we have to be aware
that we need to treat them with love and respect or else we may encounter a
mutiny.
We should always be on guard, for there are dangerous sharks and pirates in
these waters. Many are after our cargo of money and treasures, whilst a few wish
to take the joy out of our lives. The stock market is a vast ocean of scurvy
forces that lie in wait to ambush us when we have lost our direction.
There are many other hazardous ships we will encounter on our travels and many fly the flag of friendship from a distance but when we get up close they hoist the skull and crossbones. Our lookout fell asleep and we were attacked because our vigilance was penetrated by impostors.
Enemies posing as friendly sailing vessels in the seas of turbulent cross currents of information. And so we battle the storm and survive but each battle leaves its scars on our vessel.
Once we journey
beyond our half way mark, we suddenly get the feeling we might be heading in the
wrong direction. We start to understand the real enemy is within our own ship
and the pilot we have so much faith in is an impostor.
It is the same impostor that we have been battling in the other pirate ships only this foe has been planted in our thoughts for many years and has grown in stature and strength. So much so it thinks it can control the ship in heavy raging emotional seas within, even when it knows the ship is aging and does not have the power it once had.
When it realizes it does not have any real power, it wants to abandon the ship as it begins to sink. It wants to forsake the vessel and allow it to crash on the rocks of worry and anxiety.
The captain of our ship is a wimp. A false-hearted scalawag with no care for
anything except its own importance.
It is a stowaway that dresses
up in a captains uniform recognized by societies elite and panders to their
whims.
That is why
we believed it to be so real, for we have all been flying the wrong flags,
because our captains
are nothing but sophisticated, adulterated, decoys.
The real captain is still onboard but held captive in the deep recesses of our
vessel. Captain Ego needs to retire and become a quite member of the crew.
The time has come to
unlock the chains of imprisonment and allow our trusted captain to gain mastery
of the controls of our ship.
To escort us to safe waters where we can float on a tide of supreme bliss. Each
day we will set out to achieve new goals and visit places beyond distant
horizons.
We will still encounter many storms along our cruises but with a steadfast captain at the helm we will never fear any assault on our peace and tranquility.
We have a twenty-four
hour watch in the crows nest. Our finely tuned awareness is enjoying the true
order of command.
We have turned off the old worn out motor and
we are sailing into the sunset with Spirits forces supervising our sail.
Within our life
span everyone will sail the seven seas. We come into this world as a newborn
baby and some of us leave within a day or two. We have still sailed the seven
seas, only we did it in a pure vessel and in super fast time. Others may
sail for over one hundred years. The time scale is not important. The quality
and value of time spent joyfully is important.
The seas are the same for everyone. Only the time frame is a little longer for some. In cosmic terms there is little difference in a second or a hundred years. The first taste is the banquet. The first sail is the experience of a lifetime.
AN EGYPTIAN SAILING STORY
So we sail the seven seas of life until the time comes to set our ship adrift. We then sail into the infinite calm waves in the imponderable galax-seas of eternity. Until that day comes lets sail our charter on the authentic sensations of love & joy. Only Spirit can award us with a true captain and navigator. Each moment becomes a soul filled adventure of unsurpassable bliss.
'I was on my way to the mines of Pharaoh in a great ship rowed by a hundred and fifty sailors who had seen heaven and earth and whose hearts were stronger than lions. We rowed and sailed for many days down the Reed Sea and out into the ocean beyond.
'The captain and the steersman swore that they knew the signs of the weather and that the wind would not be strong but would waft us gently on our way. Nevertheless before long a tempest arose suddenly and drove us towards the land.
As we drew near the shore the waves were eight cubits in height and they broke over the ship and dashed it upon the rocks. I seized a piece of wood and flung myself into the sea just as the ship ran aground: a moment later it was smashed to pieces and every man perished.
'But a great wave raised the board to which I clung high over the sharp rocks and cast me far up the shore, on level sand, and I was able to crawl into the shelter of the trees out of reach of the cruel, angry sea.
'When day dawned the tempest passed away and the warm sun shone out. I rose up to see where I was, giving thanks to the gods for my delivery when all the rest had perished. I was on an island with no other human being to be a companion to me.
But such an island as no man has seen! The broad leaves of the thicket where I lay formed a roof over my head to shield me from the burning midday sun. When I grew hungry and looked about for food, I found all ready for me within easy reach: figs and grapes, all manner of good herbs, berries and grain, melons of all kinds, fishes and birds for the taking.
BUT, watch out for the driftwood
It is
interesting to see so many individuals floating around in their little boats
with no sail to effectively catch the wind and have no interest in repairing the
rudder that in most cases they have broken themselves. Their sails are usually
in need of mending anyway.
I have news for you. No ideas are completely original. The boats that we float
on are all assembled from bits and pieces of someone else's belief structures.
It's all driftwood.
Most people when
faced with a belief structure that no longer is valid for them, will find a bit
of driftwood floating along that will fit the overall design of their boat, and
very carefully remove the unwanted piece while keeping their ship's structure
sound, replace it with the new piece and toss the unwanted bits overboard and
get on with their journey.
Then there are people like yourself whose only sport in thir sad existance is
trying to tear the sails of any other boat that gets close enough that is trying
to navigate through life, showing some initiative and direction.
Your dilemma is that the the only things you can use for ammunition big enough
to cause some real damage are pieces of planking torn up from your own boat that
you can effectively throw. Most of the pieces of driftwood you could collect
that are floating around you are too small for your purposes.
Someday your ammo will run out. Everyone will see the scudding wreck of your
raft as it starts to come apart and no one will help you. They will give you
a wide berth, and you will drown all alone.
Think about this as you size up that next plank to rip up from your boat.
THE WATCH
Aye mates, for many years this Sailor stood the watch.
While some of us lay about our bunk at night
This Sailor stood the watch.
While some of us were attending schools
This Sailor stood the watch.
and, yes even before many of us were born
This Sailor stood the watch.
As our families watched the storm clouds of war
brewing on the horizons of history,
He stood the watch.
This Sailor looked ashore and saw his family
often needing his guidance but he knew he must stay
Because he had the watch.
For over 20 years he stood the watch so that we and
our fellow countrymen could sleep soundly,
in safety, knowing that a Sailor would stand the watch.
How can someone claim to be Christian, if they actually believe that god KILLED thousands and millions of people in the old testament, because he was angry. It defies all imgination, and all sentient thought.
It is said that children that grow up in a home with the parents only, without the company of uncles, aunts, cousins etc. become carbon copies of their parents.
Maybe that's why man has been busy murdering, torturing and killing himself since the dawn of time. because he is a carbon copy of this Vicious, contemptous meglomaniac of a god in the sky.
And if this God finds you, this is what he will do to you:
Isaiah 13:15-18 If God can find you, he will "thrust you through," smash your children "to pieces" before your eyes, and rape your wife. Here God will rape your wife after killing your children.
You'd better hide.
The reason that they believe this stuff literally is because they are the offspring of Tubalcain.
Gen 4:22 And Zillah, she also bare Tubalcain, an instructer of every artificer in brass and iron: and the sister of Tubalcain [was] Naamah.
PROOF THAT HEAVEN IS NOT LITERAL.
Lev 26:19 And I will break the pride of your power; and I will make your heaven as iron, and your earth as brass:
It's TubalCain, he is the stubborn, brutish, ego mind, the hard head, with the head of Iron and brass.
Brass occurs 126 times in scripture, in 113 verses
That's NINE, the number of man's waking consciousness, and FIVE, the number of senses that you have.
Isa 45:2 I will go before thee, and make the crooked places straight: I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and cut in sunder the bars of iron:
Here, GOD will end your hardhededness, if you enter into meditation.
Proof that these metals are symbols and not literal.
Eze 22:18 Son of man, the house of Israel is to me become dross: all they [are] brass, and tin, and iron, and lead, in the midst of the furnace; they are [even] the dross of silver.
Isa 48:4 Because I knew that thou [art] obstinate, and thy neck [is] an iron sinew, and thy brow brass;
Do you see? It's TubalCain
TUBALCAIN
The founder of the hardheads, the ironheads, the stubborn brutes, ruled by their ego's. These are the biblical metalworkers, that operate off of the LEFT carnal brain, they have gates of iron, chariots of iron and bars of brass, of course this figuratively (in the mind).
See all the scriptures talking about Brass and Iron, and then you will get the picture. It;s talking about the heardheads, the stubborn Donkeys of the earth, the tillers of the soil, where the swine do wallow.
ON RELIGION
Conservative Christians generally believe that all adult heathens are dammed eternally if they die without knowledge of the Gospel. It is regarded less sacrilegious if the faithless doubt the personal existence of the Holy Ghost or the God-head of Jesus than to question the character of the devil and to fear the devil.
There would be no more God fearing Christians if Satan did not exist. Satan is far more significant to the Catholic Church than the Jesus of Revelation riding on his white horse. And if the demons were lost, Jesus would be redundant and they would lose the significance of their savior.
And then they reason there would be no need for a ‘Redeemer’ if there was nothing to save us from. Those who adopt the doctrine of the devil literally, do not seem to be aware that they are in reality polytheists, heathens and idol worshipers.
YOU ARE GOD
By incarnating God must become man in order to discover what human consciousness is like and to enlighten his own darkness by the light he might discover in the human spirit, The incarnation of God is a step taken by God because he recognizes that it might benefit him to assimilate the superior qualities present in the soul and spirit. Jung states unequivocally that God had to become man because he had done him an injustice.
End of reincarnation
“He that overcometh, I will make him a pillar (a cosmic power) in the temple of my God, and he shall go out thence (into incarnation) no more” (Rev. iii. 12).
wisdom saved
When the zealots of the primitive Christian Church sought to Christianize paganism, the initiates of the ‘Wisdom Schools’ answered with a counter offensive to paganize Christianity.
It was a Phyrric victory for the Church won the battle but not the war: With the decline of paganism the initiates transferred their symbols to the newly emerging Christianity and therefore saved the priceless wisdom of the ages.
The Golden Age referred to in myths around the world, describe a paradise of free communion with the forces of the gods, i.e. the zodiacal signs, in the cosmos.
Heaven is above, in the brain, and hell is beneath the diaphram, the lower abdomen, where your emotional center stirs everything up.
That morality and religion are somehow clean and flawless in their messages and that God is somehow scowling down every day, watching and taking notes? Checking off sins against pentences.
Or that note, the Bible, make that all bibles and all ancient wisdom teachings, of every shape and kind, from any culture, are merely ever-shifting kaleidoscopes through which you may observe the world and absorb some lovely wisdom and moral color, but which you should never, ever mistake for real life, and be taken LITERALLY, but instead fuguratively or metorphorically (SPIRITUALLY).
YOU ARE THE CROWN OF CREATION
The fact that fundamentalists of every stripe, Catholic, Protestant, Mormon, Baptist, Muslim, etc., all claim that they and only they are going to heaven - brings down the whole house of cards. How could they all be right? They are all equally convinced, equally fooled, and equally brainwashed. (The Jews believe that theirs is not necessarily the only way to Heaven).
They say: "Read the Bible with an open mind" which really means "Read the Bible with your mind shut off-"
Why attack Christianity? Ask all of the people they have attacked. Look at their arrogant dismissal of all other beliefs. Look at their bad taste bumper stickers that say: "Christians aren't perfect; they're just forgiven." (The implication here is that they are nearly perfect; still better than nonbelievers. They have conveniently absolved themselves of sin, speaking in behalf of their imaginary savior.)
Christians are the only religion that scrawls the sacred name of their God on toilet stalls, tacks it to telephone poles, or lets if fall into gutters.
"Organized Christianity has probably done more to retard the ideals that were its founder's than any other agency in the world." - Richard Le Gallienne (Peter)
It is very enticing to become misanthorpic, but this is the cowardly way, it is our duty (those of us that know truth), to try and lift our fellow citizens to a higher understanding, only then can the earth tribes evolve to become sentient, loving, caring whole human beings, for the goodness of all, even our parents, the stars and galaxies in the cosmos.
The alternative is a continuation of living in this Zoo, we call earth, filled with two legged beasts and wild animals.
The real meaning of wild beasts
" (Plato), Kumaras, Asuras, and Innocents, devas of the intellectual order, but untried in material embodiment, came down under an obligation, indeed a covenant, sealed with "broad oaths," we are told, to tutor an animal race. Only in the light of the evolutionary situation here portrayed can the famous "covenant" between Jehovah and Israel in the Old Testament be clearly envisaged.
We (the soul, the spark of divinity) swore on our part to spiritualize the animal and return to our celestial home without becoming enmeshed in the mire of the animal sensuality.
The lower life being typed by water, the Christ's ability to walk on the water without sinking into its clutching depths was allegorized by the Jesus miracle of sea-walking.
On His part the Eternal promised that we "should never be dissolved" (The Timaeus.) This is the pledge of our immortality, matching the rainbow sign of no further destruction after the Deluge.
So the King of Glory came in, to shed his intellectual light over the area of human consciousness. He was given dominion over the beasts of the field, the fish of the sea and the fowls of the air, or all the orders of life below his status.
All things were put under his feet. But the true sense of our ruling the beasts of the field has never been set forth in theology. Literalism here, as elsewhere, has ruined anthropological meaning.
If taken literally the statement would mean that we humans are to go out and establish governance over tigers, elephants, scorpions, boa-constrictors and cobras, not to forget trained seals and fleas.. But this is childish, though not more so than the bulk of interpretation based on ignorant literalisation of poetic figuration. What it means is an aspect of anthropology that brings the truth home to us with realistic force.
The animal nature that we are to bend into harmony is the lower half of our own constitution. In ourselves is the tiger, scorpion, gnat that claws and stings and torments. We are to govern the animal in ourselves! "After this Plato adds: 'He (the Demiurgus) likewise commanded them (us) to govern as much as possible in the best and most beautiful manner the mortal animal, that it might not become the cause of evil to itself.
The Greek "descent of the soul," the theological "fall of the angels," and the Biblical "going down into Egypt," (Egypt being a glyph for earth and body; also the "far country" of the Prodigal Son allegory), are not grasped in their interior sense until we accept the incarnation as the collective spiritual ensouling of the animal races on the globe.
We have assembled a body of data to substantiate this position that has not been gathered and focused on the point before. To begin with, we can see now why in the Gospel presentation Jesus was born in a stable among animals! , because there was no room ate inn (the busy animal mind), Hercules, a Greek Jesus type, had to cleanse the Augean stables, a glyph for the body polluted by the filth of the animal nature. The Christ function is to wash clean the corruption of the lower self, the animal.
It would take pages, again, to elucidate the deep meaning behind the custom of the grotesque masks worn by roisterers on Halloween.. The masks were originally all animal faces or hides, and the buffoonery of the revelry was to portray, all too realistically, the distortion and disfigurement of the soul's features as it looked out through the eyes and body of the animal vesture! Then Tennyson has a strange verse which proves that he was conversant with this hidden knowledge:
God lent the house of a beast to the soul of the man: And the man said, 'Am I your debtor?'
And God said, 'Make it as clean as you can, And then I will send you a better.'
As history the story is ridiculous; as a glyph of anthropological history it is a grand portrayal of the truth. The Bible can not be redeemed to a sense acceptable by intelligence until it is interpreted by the keys of the ancient arcana, but it must be read spiritually (symbolically), for the LETTER KILLETH.
Wild beasts are mankind operating from the lower mind quality (the bottomless pit) (Egypt), (the sea of reeds, where man's swampy lower nature conjures up ways to destroy his fellow man).
They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters; - Psalm 107:23 That's the lower mind, in the abyss.
Do we really need a hell beneath the earth, when the beastly minds of the war mongerers of this planet has made the top of the earth a living Hell for all the souls that have passed through it's gates?
It can be now be heralded from the four corners of the globe, that the only Hell that you and I will ever experience, or ever have experienced, is the Hell created by the beastly warring animal minds of those in power, in every governmental institution in the world.
Proverbs 15:24 A word to the wise above (using your head, the higher conscious mind) you can depart from Hell beneath, (being ruled by your lower nature).
“If eleven hundred years are justly called the Dark Ages how can mankind be said to have been enlightened by the Gospel?”
They also buy and sell pigeons in the temple.
What does it mean, "and he drove out all those that bought and sold pigeons in the temple:
The temple is the brain, the ark is the brain.
Pigeons crap all over the place, and make cooing noises, that are very annoying, so to do these pigeon brained humans.
The pigeons that were run out of the temple by Jesus, are those people that partake in senseless chatter, talking about others, the crap just flows. these are the pigeon brained. Endless talking and scheming, these people create all the crap that exists in the world.
And they will ran out of the temple upon the return of Jesus, ( the Christ consciousness) to the temple (your brain). As well as the money changers, those greedy cooperate entities and government. Those peoples minds that are against the natural order of the cosmos, these are the money changers.
The human mind is filled with wandering thoughts and desires like a mad monkey it leaps from tree to branch and distracts the mind from the higher energies from chakras above the head.
Yet, this is not mind.
Mind is merely a container.
And what the mind contains is madness. The mind contains thought forms, programs and sub-personalities which have been created by the person and also absorbed from the surroundings.
These mind created thought forms are the ones which cause the endless Chitta Chatter (Chitta is Sanskrit meaning, Mind) and distraction from Purpose.
These thought form Energy blockages cause all the negative emotions of Anger, Fear, Sadness, Despair, Depression, and Manicism.
These thought form Energy blockages create and maintain connections which drain energy and strength from the lower chakras.
So, when we say mind is the disease, we mean that the full and sick desire filled mind is the disease.
An empty mind is a perceptive instrument and meditation is a fast for the mind because it drives out all the blockages and creates enlightenment.
The purpose of the empty mind faculty is to contain the psychic powers of perception and to listen to the energies of the higher chakras above the head which work at a higher and faster frequency, To listen to the quantum shift in energy from the chakras above the head.
The chakras above the head eventually at their highest point connect with Atman, God, Allah, Nirvana, any of the 10,000 names of the one Highest Energy.
Even Buddha when asked about God said Nirvana - Nothing - Emptiness. When you create an empty mind then automatically you get in touch with the Mind of God!!
This is why the Zen Masters say the Zen Joke, " I know Nothing!" Which really means, "I know God!"
Only an empty mind can contact the energies of God!
And, when all the blockages are removed, then you can become a candidate for Enlightenment!
Like the Kundalini Kriyas and the Supra Galactic Orbit of Chinese Alchemical Taoism and the Emerald Tablet of Hermes Trismegistus, VITRIOL, The Seven Step Process for the removal of all blockages, the Karma Clearing Process, then Enlightenment insues.
The book of revelations is about removing these mental blockages from the seals or chakras.

Christianity shortly took
the road of appeal to the sympathies, the predilections, the emotions and the
ignorance of the downtrodden masses,
and thereby closed every door of connection between its popular advertisement of
personal salvation and true intellectual understanding and knowledge.
Broken was the
haunting dread of those bogies which a fearful theology had reified in the
imagination of sensitive childhood;
gone was the fear of a future ordeal of punishment for earthly misdeeds in a
fiery hell of torment. Released to the methodical states that they are.
A thousand phantoms of traditional orthodox religious "teaching" were
instantaneously dissolved in the sunshine of the intelligence that the
Scriptural tomb of death
is nothing more fearsome than the physical bodies we wear on earth,
and that our bursting the bars of that tomb is nothing more insuperable than the
mastery of a truly spiritual science.
His three murderers were
Caesars' agent (the state), the Sanhedrin (the church), and the incited populace
(the mob).
Thus considered, CHiram becomes the higher nature of man and the murderers are
ignorance, superstition, and fear.
Ignorance, superstition, and fear are three ruffians through whose agencies
the Spirit of Good is murdered and a false kingdom, controlled by wrong
thinking, wrong feeling, and wrong action, established in its stead. In the
material universe evil appears ever victorious.
The deadly enemies of universal education
are ignorance, superstition, and fear,
by which the human soul is held in bondage to the lowest part of its own
constitution.
The arrant
enemies of universal democracy
have ever been the crown, the tiara, and the torch.
Thus all the
Sun Gods symbolize that ideal state of spiritual, intellectual, and physical
emancipation which has ever been sacrificed upon the altar of human
selfishness.
When the mob governs, man is ruled by ignorance;
when the church governs, he is ruled by superstition;
and when the state
governs, he is ruled by fear.
Before men can
live together in harmony and understanding, ignorance must be transmuted into
wisdom, superstition into an illumined faith, and fear into love.
This state is only reached when one shuts out the outside world,
and enters the inside world via meditation, the safe harbor, where the
lighthouse of truth is waiting to guide you to your port of destination.
This inner light
that shines, yet not seen for the foggy rough tempests,
where the rock cliffs jutting out of the water like shards of glass, ready to
rip open your hull in an instant, are finally navigated safely,
by the internal lighthouse of truth, wisdom and knowledge,
shining like a thousand suns, guiding your ship safely to port.
"The conception of the
Christ as man in his divine genius, or the God in man, opens at once the whole
of scripture to lucid and consistent intelligibility.
It is indeed the
"key" to any true grasp of the whole sense of that revered body of primeval
literature.
But it does open something to the unreasoning psychic and emotional aptitudes of
less intelligent folk:
the hypnotic gullibility of
religious piety and a pitiable slavery to religious superstition.
But the instant
the concept is shifted from man divine to a divine man in an historical
personage, dire confusion,
entanglement in contradiction, ridiculous inconsistency and the eeriest
"historical" nonsense are thrust into the structure.
And the quantity of the tragedy wrought in the world by the prevalence of these
two
psychological forces makes perhaps the most lugubrious chapter in human history.
The concept of the
Christos as the godly higher Self in man meets the tangled riddle of the
exegesis of the Bibles with complete satisfaction of every intellectual demand,
and no other concept does so.
The concept of the Christ as "a man," who ate, drank, slept, walked and spoke
as any mortal, is beyond any possibility of refutation
the most fatuous ideation
that ever found a place in the effort to rationalize human religious experience.
No less has it
been at the same time the most baneful influence in blocking the cultural
enterprise of grasping the central power and fullest unction of that experience.
Here again the
truth of the situation runs in a direction exactly counter to that commonly
believed.
Pious
orthodox opinion is wholly aligned to the idea that the historical Jesus is the
most positive assurance of the individual Christian’s salvation and the active
agent of its realization.
This work
ventures, doubtless for the first time in religious discussion, to fly directly
in the face of that presumption with the claim that it is this very idea of the
Christ as a historical person that has stood as the most concrete obstacle in
the way of that salvation!"
The gold laden, crystal palace of the inner experience exchanged for the
bald, empty and blighted outward experience.

"Look not lo here,
nor lo there, for the kingdom of god is WITHIN you"
The perfect government of the earth must be patterned eventually after that
divine government by which the universe is ordered.
In that day when perfect
order is reestablished,
with peace universal and good triumphant, men and women will no longer seek for
happiness, for they shall find it welling up within themselves.
Dead hopes, dead aspirations, dead virtues shall rise from their graves, and the
Spirit of Beauty and Goodness
repeatedly slain by ignorant
men shall again be the Master of Work.
Then shall sages sit upon the seats of the mighty and the gods will walk with men.
"The Kingship of
Heaven is within you and without you,
and any man who knows himself
shall find it."
The symbolic, yet true account of your soul, or the light that animates your physical body.
The trials, tribulations and earthquakes that go on within each human being that endeavors to rise to the higher conscious god state.
Ego is you. Soul is Ego. Mind is Ego.
The body is the creation and the "tool" of the ego.
Spirit is energy.
Put them all together and you have your life as a human.
All "great" religions of the world were created soley for the purpose of controlling you and controlling your thoughts. No way do they want you to think that you are a sovereign individual.
A word that our late president Dubya, was not familiar with, no wonder, he was a professed Christian, which is a person that has no need nor idea of the meaning of the word sovereign .
In the cryptic mode of ancient hagiographic writing, when the intent was concealment of esoteric truth from the ignorant masses, and its release to the initiated through cryptic symbolism, this principle of life’s self-renewal through the seed was the hidden meaning of the ark-and-flood allegory.
It adumbrated the truth that when at the withdrawal of the breath and blood energies of Brahm from his aeonial embodiment of matter, the flood of dissolution washed away his physical fabric of creation, so that the nucleus of life had to retreat within the arche (Greek: ark or beginning), out of which it had emanated in the first instance. This makes Noah’s ark story pure allegory, and removes it from the pale of history.
It is safe to aver that, while there may have been subsidence of continents, as the fabled sinking of Atlantis and Lemuria, to create traditions of catastrophic deluges, the Genesis account is not a record of one of them. It is too clearly a semantic construction. When a giant oak is blown down and rots away, its life force retires into its ark, the acorn.
In that haven of safety it rides out the flood of dissolution, awaiting the morn of its new cycle, when it, like the seed in April’s garden, emerges from its arche for a new beginning. And where does it set foot again to root its new ebullition of life? On the "Mount of Earth," as Ararat is obviously from the Hebrew arets, the earth. It seems at one time to have been spelled areth, earth.
"the sun became black,"moon became as blood,"stars of heaven fell,” and "heaven departed"
No! Not LITERALLY, but mysticly.
You can't convince a believer of anything; for their belief is not based on evidence, it's based on a deep seated need to believe. It is based uopn emotiomalism. [Carl Sagan]
"The religion of the future will be a cosmic religion. The religion which based on experience, which refuses dogma. If there's any religion that would cope the scientific needs it will be Buddhism and Taoism."
"A man's ethical behavior should be based effectually on sympathy, education, and social ties and needs; no religious basis is necessary. Man would indeed be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward after death."
I cannot conceive of a personal God who would directly influence the actions of individuals, or would directly sit in judgment on creatures of his own creation.

When asked how World War III would be fought, Einstein replied that he didn't know. But he knew how World War IV would be fought: With sticks and stones!
The Way
“Do not fear the sensations you feel during meditation,” concluded Slender Gourd. “Let all phenomena come and go. Even death is a part of such illusion. Don't identify with phenomena, but instead look deeply into the Tao and its source. Forget the illusion of a separate existence. Cast off this imaginary limitation that separates you from the Way. Let your finiteness merge with the infinite. Far from becoming diminished, you will become infinite yourself. When you have this perception, you will then know the true secret of the sages:
The mind of one who returns to the Source becomes the Source.”

Manson and the Church
He wanted women who he could control, the church was just a way to draw confused lost people into his world, they used Satan like some use God, It was all about power alot like Charles Manson, he played on peoples emotions and help to fill voids in there life, and they followed him and his crazy teaching's, and so do the mindless drones that march off to physical buildings made with hands every Sunday.
"In order to justify their behavior, they turn their theories into dogmas, their bylaws into First Principles, their political bosses into Gods and all those who disagree with them into incarnate devils. This idolatrous transformation of the relative into the Absolute and the all too human into the Divine, makes it possible for them to indulge their ugliest passions with a clear conscience and in the certainty that they are working for the Highest Good.
And when the current beliefs come, in their turn, to look silly, a new set will be invented, so that the immemorial madness may continue to wear its customary mask of legality, idealism, and true religion."
(Aldous Huxley, The Devils of Loudun, 1952, Harper and Brothers, NY, NY.)
To have plunged the world for long centuries into a weird distortion of its whole philosophy of life by the dousing of intellectual light that once shone for all worthy seekers must be seen to be a calamity of the first magnitude.
And the thoughtful reader may well ponder how much of medieval barbarity (especially manifested in the field of that religion that had snuffed out the ancient candle light!); how much of modern brute mechanistic heartlessness of human society; and how much of present universal befuddlement in things philosophic and spiritual, must be traced to the obscuration of human intelligence by the unconscionable distortion of the meaning of the myths of wisdom.
The feeling must be strong in minds of many that the Bible, unless interpreted esoterically by its ancient recondite keys and as spiritual allegory, will continue to stand, not as a light unto the feet, but as the strong fortress of superstition and bigotry.
From the priesthood comes ever and anon the cry for more Bible study.
But so long as it is not to be more enlightened than that of the past, it will but magnify stupidity and intensify blindness.
What is needed is to let out the light that shines through the symbols. Let there be light from Genesis to Revelation!

for every knee shall bow,
and every tounge confess, Jesus Christ is Lord.."
Meaning
The knees are symbolic of that which keeps you upright, boastful and arrogant in nature, to bend the knee means to humble yourself before the universe and the power manifesting through nature into you, not to hamper it's arrival by being an Egoist.
The knee is asymbol of moral strength, or submission to the laws of order and progress, by restraining the lower activities (emotional center) and weakening them by bending to the higher will WITHIN.
Every tongue shall confess
The tongue is a symbol of the expression of truth, or the active manifestation of the logos (word) on several planesof nature.
"Their tongues prtude from their mouths as far as the world of Brahma". The higher self and the Individual duality seated in the casual-body are united in harmony, and their expression of truth is in accordance with devine reality, the actual realising of potential.
The tongue is also a symbol of the expression of falsity and perversion of truth and right. And the son of God, the active power of the eternal truth, taking the "sword of the spirit" went forth in the strength of the Divine Will, slew his enemies the desires , and "tore out their toungs," a symbol of falcity of pervisity, and the vitatility which had before animated them was disapated and flowed to the lower planes, where in it was resolved into its primary constituents.
"By the tounge is signified the doctrine of the church or any religion, but in an opposite sense, false doctrine."
"Casting out the old man, plucking out the right eye, maiming self of the right hand-there is no growth without some sorrow. Conflict is the word that defines man's path from darkness to light. No holiness is won by any other means than this, that wickedness should be slain day by day, and hour by hour.
In long lingering agony often, with the blood of the heart pouring out at every quivering vein, you are to cut right through the life and being of that sinful self; to do what the Word does, pierce to the dividing asunder of the thoughts and intents of the heart."
James 3:5 Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth! 3:6 And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell. 3:7 For every kind of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and of things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed of mankind: " The INNER animals.
James says that, even in his day, all beasts, birds, serpents, and sea creatures had been tamed by humans. 3:8 But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.
Jesus Christ is lord
A symbol of the indwelling Higher self (Christ) or divine spirit in man, evolving towards complete universal manifestation. In other words, it is the Christ power, but not quite yet perfected in the human heart/brain.
It represents the personality towars the end of the earthy cylcle of life, becoming perfected through meditation, as in the death of the lower nature and the rise of the higher Christ consciousness.
The meaning of the symbol varies somewhat between the exalted Christ and the human, unperfected Christ power/soul, as one still living at the animal level of life on this earth.
Seven is the key
Who are the Elohim? They are the physical energies of nature, inherent in matter, and are employed by spiritual Gods to build universes. They are called in all books the Seven Primary Powers, the Seven Elementary Forces, the Seven Gods of Nature, that empower each of the chakras on your spine.
Often they are known as just "The Seven". A wide variety of names has been given them among the nations. The Seven Gods (gods); Elohim; Demiurgoi; Logoi; Rishis; Prajapati; Kabiri; Archangels; Spirits of the Presence; Angles before the Throne; Cosmocratores; Titans; Uranidae; Kronidae; Companions of Horus; Companions of Arthur; Rulers; Archons; Pitris; Amshaspends; Auxiliaries of Kronus; Sons of Sydik; Sons of Ptah; Sons of Ra; Lumazi; Children of Inertness; Rebels; Devils; Cyclops; Serpents; Sons of the Mother; and many more.
(To each the number seven is generally prefixed.) They are the seven energies animating physical Nature, servants of higher Intelligences. They are the seven lords of time in the ancient emerald tablet of thoth.
Not only do they have these varied names as a group, but they have been individually named in most religions. In the Babylonian they are Bel, Ea, Rimmon, Nebo, Marduk, Nerra and Ninib. In the Persian they are Azazel, Amazarak, Armers, Barkayel, Akabeel, Tamiel and Azaradel.
In pre-Christian and Gnostic hierology they are correlated at times with the stellar bodies of our solar system, as regents of the stars, and as such their names are given as Michael (the Sun), Gabriel (Moon), Samael (Mars), Anael (Venus), Raphael (Mercury), Zachariel (Jupiter), and Orifiel (Saturn).
And in the Jewish Kabala we find their authentic names given in a form which relates them directly to Genesis usage. Here they are designated as: Ildabaoth, Jehovah, Sabaoth, Adonai, Eloeus, Oreus and Astanphaios, with variations in the spelling.
The last two are said to mean "fire" and "water" respectively. Oreus would undoubtedly be akin to the Egyptian "Uraeus", "the serpent of fire".(kundalini) Eloeus would equally clearly be the Latinized singular form of Elohim, one of the Elohim, so to say.
Just as the "Lord God of Sabaoth" would stand for the "Lord God of the Seven" (Sabaoth means "Seven"); and as Adonai was also used to designate the whole Seven; and El was used for the Seven Elohim; so Jehovah came to stand as a collective term for the entire Seven Powers. The whole Seven were summed up under the name of one of their number, and that predominantly Jehovah.
"When in the second chapter of Genesis Jehovah-Elohim forms man from the dust of the ground, and woman from the bone of the man, Jehovah is that one God who sums up in himself the seven previous powers, precisely as they were totaled in Atum-Ra, Sevekh-Ra, Agni, or Ahura-Mazda. He has been identified for us by name as one of the seven Gnostic Elohim, their Jao or Jehovah."
And the extension of the four-lettered name JHVH into its seven-lettered form, JEHOVAH, indicates the latter as being the full and final physical manifestation of the creative forces in matter. For material creation is always sevenfold
To amplify the significance of the fact of the feminine nature of the Jehovistic powers further study must be made of the six creative forces. They were what the Hindus called the Shaktis of the gods. They were the goddesses or female consorts of the divine spiritual energies. Which are the sevn elohim, or seven electromagmetic energies of space and time.
For every god had his shakti or force (really matter and its inherent force); otherwise his spiritual ideas or ideals could never come to concrete manifestation in the objective worlds! Spirit (male) needed matter (female) to bring its ideas to birth on the plane of being.
Matter is the Mother. This is impregnably rooted in language itself; for the Latin and other language words for mother is MATER (Meter, Mutter, Moder, Madre, Mere, etc.) Pia mater being the tender mother part of the brain.
With amazing fidelity an Old Testament verse reflects the Gnostic light: "Wisdom hath builded her house; she hath hewn out her seven pillars." The physical frame of the universe literally rests on seven bases. The seven pillars are the seven seal or chakras that the internal universe is built upon.

Captain Clueless
A
Spiritual Conspiracy
"I just learned something very
interesting etymologically. It seems that the words “conspiracy” and “spirit”
come from the same Latin root: “spirare,” which means “to breathe.” A
conspiracy then is people who are “breathing together” - spirits that have
come together.
Taken in this light, it’s especially interesting that the word “conspiracy”
always has such negative, often illegal connotations. We are inherently
trained to believe that the act of spirits “breathing” together is a nefarious
thing which will lead only to ruin and social chaos.
Also interesting is the etymology of the word “theory,” as in “conspiracy
theory.”
“Theory” is supposed to be derived
from “theoros,” Greek for “spectator.” This means that “conspiracy
theory” would then mean “someone who watches spirits breathe together,”
which is such a more eloquent and beautiful notion than the way that we’re all
accustomed to seeing so-called conspiracy theorists.
I’m no linguist, but I spotted another oddity in the
origin of the word
“theory” that is worth highlighting. Apparently the Greek “theoros” is
conjectured to break down into the components “thea” or “a viewing” and
“-oros” which means “seeing”. It seems weird that a word would consist of two
roots which meant the same thing in their language of origin, unless each
connoted something very different at the time.
Evidently, scholars are not entirely
certain if this is in fact the true origin, because all the etymologies I’ve
seen so far say that this is only probably it.
Seems like another possibility is being overlooked (although maybe there’s a
good reason which I don’t know about).
That is, the connection to the root “theo-” in words like “theology.” In this case, it means nothing less than “god”. I’ve also seen reference in linguistic context to “-ry” as being what is called a “bound derivational suffix.”
I can’t find a good definition for
what that means, but it’s like when you take the word “dentist” and turn it
into “dentistry.” An even better example might be from “poet” to “poetry.” So,
if “theo” meant god, it’s possible “theory” (if seen in this alternative
interpretation) could be stretched into meaning possible something like “the
realm in which god works.”
Again, I could be totally wrong, but the connection is extremely compelling
(spoken like a true conspiracy theorist, I know). It gets especially good when
we now go back and look at our phrase: “Conspiracy Theory.” Rather than being
some kind of paranoid region of lunatics and losers,
