Dogmatism- 10th June 1991

DOGS are creatures of habit; and for that matter so are creatures of dogmatism. We all fall subject to certain dogmas and it's important to perceive this within ourselves firstly, rather than worry too often about others restrictive viewpoints. Some folk carry a certain duty with them throughout their work, which is best serviced by the lean-post of dogmatic complacency. 

Men tire easily and it is no matter should a particular shelter be sought, by way of reason or by way of faith- if ultimately it does not itself pervert the very nature of the faith and reason to be upheld. That is the point in question; also too the very nature of the work one has chosen to carry out with fervor and activity.

Most people are keenly aware of the confines and restrictions placed upon them by outside dogmas which would be imposed on one another. Dogmatism itself does not upset Man, as it is understood by one and all. However, it is essential that folk entering the path can distinguish between dogma and pure doctrine.

Dogma can be a useful structure of given concepts, where one may feel beholden with conviction to uphold such concepts at any cost. Pure doctrine should in essence enlighten the individual as regards the truth of all matters, whereby one may perceive directly into the heart of any matter, replacing textbook knowledge with self/world experience. 

He who embraces truth to himself has unshakable fortitude in the conceptual world. It is the world-weary who cannot grasp the reality of those truths, who rely on the perceptions of those they trust as guides throughout the shadowy lands of worldly impressions.

Finally, the most important guidepost we may all cleave to is the example of Christ, in true love and affection for our brother. Therefore if an insight reminds us of our failings as seen through a weakness in this or that man, we may trust ultimately in Christ to prevail. In time, the needs for dogmatism shall dissolve as morning dew, so touched by the 'Light of Our World'.

The Angel with Illuminations of Past, Present & Future- 8th June 1991

BROTHER Goodall: Simon of Bosley, prided himself on a lascivious eloquence and a cunningly sharp humor to follow. His days and nights were so intermixed that he knew not when one ended or the other began. 

Born a bastard son of a bastard son, he worked fervently to keep up the family tradition in thus propagating his line. Whilst he had money, he cared little for it and cared less for those without it; seeking the company only of those who indulged in profits from the poor. He was a fink, and that name given to him began a tradition for other coarse, crass, undependable oafs, that frequented society in like manner.

Up to this point of the story one might ask of the outstanding virtues, or at the very least, details, which should isolate Simon from the rest of his gender, making him exceptionally notable. Three times an Angel came to him, whilst he slept awash with leaden draught drunkenness, and appealed to Simon to change his uncouth activity in the world. Three times marvelous opportunities were offered, that might incite his soul to awaken to his hapless condition, and three times the Angel, rebuked, was sent away, unfulfilled.

At the deathbed of Simon Goodall, the Angel returned yet again - this time in repetition of the former visitations, this time to illumine that of his past life. For the pulse had stopped, and duty bound was this Angel, to prepare him for what lay ahead. 

The second illumination was of his present condition, or moreover, of all those folk within his immediate constellation of society. With this, Master Goodall had now knowledge of their stories and sufferings, and saw great possibilities for all concerned. 

The third picture vision which was impressed on Simon's consciousness was that of a very bleak future, as he glimpsed heavenward with confusion and emptiness, and grief at the loss of his former existence.

It was with this final horror that his heart resumed its beating! Short, sharp and sweet with determination, Simon returned, thump!, back into his physicality, and returned to live on another forty years or so! 

This second chance - so called - proved Simon a completely changed man in every way, to all good measure. The merits of his works accomplished still carry on, as he founded many a charitable enterprise, and indulged only in virtuous study and application, being a good example to all who had pleasure to enter the second half of his life.

Dickens' Scrooge was such a man. We know because we gave Dickens the story in the first place. And the story is an important one, not only in the redemption of Simon Goodall, but in the telling of experience after life is quashed on Earth, preceding death. That we all share in the grace of the Angels' illuminations of the past, present and future; for herein is the true digestion of any life lived, and of immeasurable value, as this final experience is of lasting impression to the soul. It is what one gleans and takes of a lifetime. Without such impressions, impressions that translate over to the soul, one should recall very little indeed in future existence - negating the work of that tenuous lifetime.

So Simon had twice over realized his relationship to the world, in one lifetime. Many before and after him have also been given in part, second chances and glimpses of such Angels.

If when one enters into slumber, one questions their own effects within the world, they shall be given insights, whereupon in waking certain aspects will become clearer to them. For this Angel is called Conscience, and would that she was invited to give lesson, she comes to all with pertinent illuminations.

Chaotic Enterprises with Corporate Incentives- 7th June 1991

Excuse me for being waspish! You have the short instruction on Insects & the World of Thought, and so "Mr. B.Hive" is not intended to be as much as a laugh as is thought.

Today is a grim day in earthly terms. Many inventions and their inventors have been abroad in the world, steeped in chaotic enterprises with corporate incentives and financial intentions; most of the labors are to meet with destructive devices rather than aids of any reckoning.

Of the many investigations that are continually being carried out, there are rarely such breakthroughs - if that is the term - as today was finally discovered. Sometimes there are those who work to disguise and hold back certain discoveries, which have been prompted by creatures who would have man enforce that which meets their desired end- scurrilous beings who may well have their way in utilizing this earthly crust as a junkyard, moreover a human junkyard. 

There are those few occasions when the scientific world, a conglomerate of brilliant minds, applause a certain finding conjointly; and we in turn do shudder at the ramifications which are but all too clearly understood by us. Today was one of those days, and we apologize for our grim fixation.

There are conferences and there are conferences and we meet and discuss. There will be much lengthy discourse - and from this you might gather that we too, have problems presented that require stern configuration. 

In worldly matters there are no hard and fast rules - were that the work was that simple! Weighty decisions are ongoing continually, and we make no flippant gesture - fortunate though, in optimism and certainty of outcome - but still very much involved where necessary. Should our Brothers take the stalls in this theater, sit back and refuse involvement, many a sham and a curtain brought down, many a king in check, should have occurred if we had not intervened. 

One can never view history in the light of mistakes being made, although one can have certain misgivings. We suffer frustrations, and labor as all do: good days and bad days, by your reckoning! We shall not speak prematurely of today's blunders, however it may well become apparent through the usual media channels. If one pictured us skipping the mountaintops of Tibet, we apologize for shattering the illusion, although I'll probably take a holiday there sometime!

People's Reverence Can Change- 1991

Zeus - Holy Zeus! Isn't it peculiar how the people's reverence can change; how the name is objective, and holds little or no inspiration for men. Z today is a powerful sound. It takes power to perpetuate the Z, to exhale and expel the Z.

Chamomile (pronounced camomeelay) is as it sounds, as gentle and as dignified, from small bud to blossom, in fragrance, and in stimulation.

The 'werp' part of Antwerp is a shocker, and calls for attention. Antwerp! Precision in speech is a lost art, for it takes precisional thinking, clarity, conciseness, to confer through language, and infer accordingly.

Apple cider is a good drink - make your own with a sodastream.

                                           888

Embracing with joy, rather than assuming a studious painful grimace - it is important to strike the balance between being the happy idiot, and acting out that which one is not. Improvement is always certain, and there is never anticipation of lasting overnight successes.

Be content to absorb and struggle, yes wrestle, with all that is learnt; and forgiving of that which you are now. For all men have worked long and hard to come to this path, including you, and one must never discredit or demean that wonderful effort, that is forever concluding and renewing in the eternal now.
