Goodness Gracious Me- 19th March 2023

A twofold cure is a lasting one, whereas a superficial cure may turn back upon itself at any given time. A twofold cure requires a measure of goodness for it to be lasting.

Goodness is sought everywhere and is in fact, everywhere to be found.

The properties of goodness are universal and sustaining - and are also termed Brahma-bhava, shakenari [?], or in Latin, visceral.

Much later the word ‘vice’ was adopted with an inference to say that pleasures (which were usually carnal) came from the Divine visceral ... i.e. goodness - which of course is true, unless it is not true.

By this we mean to say that over time the vices (although attributed correctly) deteriorated into malevolent practices which departed their original source and had become spent of their good character as it were.

Both common and uncommon aberrations form and create memory shells that attach themselves as barnacles to the soul who entertains them.

The man of faith often praises the divine aspect, and attributes, credits, acknowledges and calls upon its goodness - be it within the meal or the act, before involving himself completely. And with this thankfulness and praise, the goodness is welcomed into the mix - be it in ritual or daily life, every plane of activity is improved by it.

And yet this practice of gratitude and acknowledgement does not ensure safety from adverse outcomes - say with the case of ingesting a poison or strong narcotic etc. however in general it can invoke a healing even before the disease has begun.

There is a certain compatibility between the incoming forces and the being who is receiving them when goodness is present - for it is the goodness that the being seeks primarily in all things - i.e. a way, a knowledge, an infilling of the Divine.

To say Grace before one’s meal sincerely helps to bring nutrition and sustenance into the body of what we are to consume. It is vital for this to be intentional, purposeful - and not simply given as a chore. 

It is interesting to note that satanic rituals take up similar practices of prayer and attributions and subsequent consummations ... and that fundamentally they too are searching in their misguided ways for a form of ‘goodness’. They may believe this to be a strength, or power, or divining ... endeavouring to connect or incarnate a particular divinity, and yet it has come from the same impulse regardless.

And so from this example we can glimpse the problematic extremes this thinking can fall to.

The word ‘goodness’ can give us a sense of what we need to know about it. Goodness seeks out goodness and is repelled from conjunctive vice - whatever that may be.

The satanist craves goodness - their souls are blanched, their bones are dry, the colour has left their world, unseen by their eyes; and the devils that command them becry goodness, yet they too yearn for it sorely. The cure is right before them.

In a smaller, but not so small measure, lies also the importance of the healing forces of repentance appealing to goodness for its supplication.

Goodness knows no time, it does not belong to time, and is capable of going back in time to where the memory rests. Once there it can restore the ill that requires a tender mending.

And for the individual, acts of goodness that they themselves can carry out, are remedial to both their soul and their body, and will tether the goodness thusly.

We are in truth pure light, and everything else is but a holy-o-graphic attachment.

Thought Trees- 12th March 2023

A tree branch does not grow separately from the tree - and its buds, leaves and fruit do not grow apart from their host branch. The unity of the group is obvious and without question. The central nourishment sustains each branch and its burden.

One’s thought process has a similar behaviour whereby the whole being is interconnected; and very simply put, if we are to consider certain thoughts themselves to be expressed or experienced as individual leaves, buds or fruit, we can understand that they are predictably very similar to the other branches of that same tree and its nature.

If an individual perceives the world in a particular way, it is as the fully formed tree unlikely to change into an entirely different species. However, and happily, the consciousness of Man does not manifest just the one tree, but a large forest of growth - and these ‘concept trees’ have sprung up at differing times ... some to wither whilst some are established - and they provide a frame of reference throughout one’s lifetime. If this was not the case our thinking would be piecemeal and gibberish. Logic is the tree for which our thinking cleaves to.

Growing a different tree takes time, yet it is vital to the task were one endeavouring to experience a new approach to an older problem. For example, and for practical purposes, many phobias and past associations can be overcome with the experiences leading to an entirely different tree of thought, rather than trying to modify the existing one.

The War of the Words- 4th March 2023

Currently, and not withstanding the deluge of cacophonous distractions, there are currents (tides if you will) of imported and important futures carrying the fate and destinies throughout. Currents and tides moving into the swell of the Ages - producing a convergence of times, a torsion of natures with contrasting impulses that are competing for the very future of Mankind.

And no, we do not bend to the permits and demands of a corrupted vernacular. Mankind (of the kind of Man) is most obviously is a term given to adult humanhood and is already understood to be what it was and what it was not, without question, until some imbecilic complainant unpicked the thread on that tapestry.

This goes to the core of the difficulties confounding commonsense and sense of soul, presently.

Madness is of itself a disharmony, and can be temporarily infectious: nonsensical thoughts interrupt those inspirations streaming in from the Divine, and disrupt the overall well-being.

The questions are: how organised is the deceit against Humanity, who are the deceivers, and what of the ultimate outcome?

Firstly, it is important to understand that the happenings in and around Christ’s Golgotha are still affecting the tensions within the world today. What began there and occurred because of it has brought light into the world, yet the aftershocks also.

The ground cracked and opened and demons were dislodged from within. Souls whose contorted lifetimes of dark magic and godless, lifeless existence had forced them underground - for they could no longer withstand the Sun or anything that took in its rarified presence.

As pus evacuates the wound, so did the lost souls with their demonic brothers flee out from those spaces ... for the Light had then come to them, and its pain it caused was severe.

This was to be (and still is) the exorcism of the World, and the repatriation for those souls who may once again come to identify with the God within and Father to all, unafraid of their own cosmic greatness.

The contestants to a ‘pure’ and godly evolution are not aliens from afar - they are the direct carryover from the Christ Event that released them back into evolution. And so, two centuries hence, the infection grows and the fever now begins.

Satanic souls are especially offended by Christ, for they were dislodged from the realms they were acclimated to inhabit. However the divinity within them was diminishing and were they not recovered they should have expired into coal, as many before them had already become.

The alchemical reasoning was always about this very transmutation of the lesser or degraded substance into a superior everlasting.

The goodly souls already have Heaven, they carry its signature within their words, within their breasts. They are accounted for. Their foreheads are blessed, their spirits are safe.

Being true to one’s words is significant to the consciousness within - for it is there that reality aligns. Adapting speech nonsensically is especially hazardous to the subsequent reasoning. It is not mere pedantry to argue this - it is power.

Words carry the force and a measure of the very reality they speak of - they are indeed most powerful in and of themselves. There is no value in diminishing, broadening, or diluting their substance.

On the other hand, truth is truth is truth. Regardless of the creative games, verbiage naturally inclines towards its truth, for this is the reason for its existence.

Modulation in the Modern World - 27th November, 2022

With a cornucopia of experience, the soul - the human soul - is thrice entertained and many times fed, throughout its earthly life. Although our souls are enduring and fearless, they are entirely sympathetic to everything which is both within and without their human earthly existence.

They feel and gather experience thusly, therefore they cannot escape the very emotions (be them spiritual, astral or physical) that are responsive to life’s circumstances surrounding them.

In this regard it might be directly from ‘knowing’ or by a living connection to our neighbour’s condition, or our housemate, our parent, our wildlife, and so forth, that we are so affected, challenged and fortified daily.

And the very best transit of such experience entails the ability to be impervious to those ongoing impressions, without being completely divorced from them.

To some extent the stronger the ‘I’ within the individual, the better this talent becomes. A developed ego can withstand many differences, discerning and adapting, and choosing who and what to invest in, knowingly, without feeling the desire to vacate or shut down when confronted with differences.

There are many, if not most, in Western society who now practice such distancing and non-disclosure that they are closed off completely from sympathetic learning and empathetic resonance subsequently.

In this and because of this, they may also lack virtues of true charity, of purpose, of unselfishness … and the list goes on - and when their time comes to depart their earthly lives they may leave empty handed. Some will depart even dimmer than when they arrived, for they lost the loving interest in much of the world and desire nought from it.

And so the consequence of trying and succeeding to escape experience, particularly that of the conditions of our fellow men and associated kingdoms surrounding us, is that our own beings can contract, and with this our spiritual journey forward is gravely thwarted.

Subsequently it will require much loving effort from those who are ‘awake’ in Spirit, to be able to commiserate and coax the sleepers into a response, that they may become once more aware of the luminosity of the very heavens all about them.

It can be for many reasons that a person will shut down from receiving the world. It is not necessarily born from a selfishness or acquired coldness, but can be from a condition carried over from a past life unresolved, or a pressing conflict that first began this imbalance of soul.

By contrast is the autistic individual who feels too keenly. Given what was just now described one could suppose that autism is a result of the soul’s receptors becoming nullified willingly - however the opposite is most likely to be true.

The colours, the sounds, the experiences, are all many degrees interpreted far more intensely overwhelming the individual who receives these immediate influences, just as one might be caught amongst the strongest of waves, deluged and moved backward and forth, struggling for a foothold.

The autistic inclination has a quickening which leaps from one experience to another and finds difficulty capturing mentally a continuity of self amongst this ongoing vivacious experience.

Soul impressions are perceived as random and are not directed/selected individually, or sequentially, and even though the memory is exact, the mind flutters indiscriminately. The will is amused by all and sundry and the mental focus can be without a purpose that is easy to define. Having said this, the overall experience of the world in this manner is rich and with much to keep, and is made sense of retrospectively: either at night during sleep or during their afterlife. And this condition is not fixed at all in perpetude.

There can also be the individual who goes in and out from the two extremes. In an attempt to master the influx of sympathetic experience they can alternate with an unresponsive blind coldness to the people and conditions around them, to then haphazardly become awash with emotion, often seemingly out of control. With this behaviour they can appear to be as two people, whereas they simply lack modulation; and the chaos and coldness is merely symptomatic of that.

And there is no one glib answer for such a complex disorder - as the interpretation and distillation of life itself is one of the key mysteries of all time.

And yet there are prescriptive measures which may bring some ease to disease and order to such disorder.

It is through routine and repetition that the individual may find corresponding co-ordinates to help fix their place with a predictability less burdened by chaos.

Some individuals self-impose their own regularity in order to come into a place of being that is content enough to then be able to manage and tolerate the influences all about them.

All habitual practices are just this: especially when they are not needed for a pertinent reason, other than to find one’s place in the order of things, separating off from the overwhelming impressions flowing in.

Involuntary motions (in physiology within the sympathetic systems, and astral configurations) to rocking or repetitive Tourette's, become as the metronome is to the pianist, with beats to modulate what is to become.

The wristwatch assisted in this, whereas the digital does not. The increments of the movements give a beat, which although run contrary to the physiological rhythms they establish an orderly ongoing rhythm to help modulate the external interface.

Repetition incarnates, repetition draws certain forces in and re-establishes one’s relationship with the alternating forces without.

Routine and rhythm for a child is paramount to their sense of awakening into their worldly consciousness. In this (and not in a regimental way) we celebrate our interplays, rather than seek to diminish them.

Board games, (physical not virtual) with dice and counting, especially snakes and ladders, help to build a sense of connection for mind and consequence in a measured and satisfying way. There is the unpredictable and the known. There is the up and the down. Checkers and chess are character building and require one to be very present and forward thinking.

Similarly our physical bodies need routine and rhythm to coexist and tolerate well the outer world. If waking times and feeding times are haphazard, the condition of health will also become haphazard, afflicting the heart rate and digestion, energy levels etc.

For the physical craves predictability, and even imposed routines will alleviate the pressures experienced from the perceived randomness without.

Repetitive poems, prayers and rhymes for little children are therapeutic. And all the better if they speak of the beauteous interchange of the days, or nature’s cycles.

We need to be reminded through this perplexity of influence of perpetual life: of our place within a certain universe.

The opposite is taking place with nihilism at the cultural forefront today. With the deficit of respect and understanding for cause and effect, for natural science and morality, the people have become morose and destitute as dry leaves in the whorling wind - they moan and complain, all the while displaced by the currency of modernity, exacerbated with the poisoning from synthetic foods and medicines.

Yet let it be said that the Angels of men and women and children, do not depart them, even when the winter has gripped their hearts, and the patience of Angels withstands this deciduous turmoil.

Paradoxically if one willingly seeks only ‘comfort’ and ignores the world they will feel its grief all the more - yet if one can walk towards experience on a daily basis, bravely, mindfully, intentionally, the comfort within will afford a quiet mind and make stable the soul.

To wit:

Fear is the Dragon:
I see your terrible eyes
I feel your hot stinking breath
And I say to you -
Go wither away
And depart my trembling.

I have the Almighty
Set strong in my heart
And by my own side
My protector, my Life
I am straight in the knowledge
That I and all that I love
Will endure far past this
And with every circumstance to come,
In life and after life
We will continue on.

And to the dragons of doubt
Those of shame, and of cold,
of hate, of recoil,
Know well I fear you not
And, that I see you all.

Finding one’s bearings is not unlike counting one two three go! The hypnotist uses such a rhythm to invite the consciousness to give over to them - which is not advised because the advantage is lost when another’s will and experience is invading the ego. However this examples the connecting ability repetition can afford us.

Mantras and marching, rosaries and routine, all bring a renewed starting point to anchor the consciousness, and graft on the new.

Consciously we find our way into the worldly experience by using the anticipation of such sequences, humble, rudimentary, one foot follows the next. And, by the Grace of the virtues, may we ever be stronger, for what meets us on our way.
