Artificial Intelligence- 14th May 2017

My question is concerning AI - Artificial Intelligence: is it possible for computers or robots to become self aware, self conscious, and make their own decisions and become self determined?

Many operating systems appear to demonstrate personality, having been given algorithms that are programmed with such a bias and characterization - and from this it could be easy to conceive that by some extraordinary leap, their intelligence could spark into individuality. . .

At present, the basic programming of any system runs according to the angelic principle of service and sameness: and in concordance with same and similar programs/supports and operating platforms. There is provision for owner operators to control their computers and personally tailor the programs, yet at the same time these systems work because they are in harmony with others, and not because they separate out in form or function in any way from the rest.

And so, computer systems by their nature, are conformists.

As intricate and complex as they may become, they will still operate within preset boundaries of rationale programming - requiring consensus with like platforms.

Fundamentally a materialist does not hold ideas as to the origin of consciousness, or the forming of individuality.

A materialist is limited in their view on this subject, and from this non-perspective an idea could be entertained that consciousness would just evolve or develop, as if by magic.

They really do not have an explanation for the imagination or individuality in relation to humankind, but rather than it is, computer-like in cognizance and either random or pre-programmed, in its choosing.

The materialist does not recognize the aeons of prior experience that the individual soul has gathered and grown with, along side its instinctual collecting along the way. And, more than this, far more than this wonderful learning, is the Godliness within the human nature, that 'spark' of divine intelligence and construct - that godly nucleus to which all else is fixed upon.

Cherry Picking- 30th April 2017

The gift of Heaven is one of true abundance: a limitless fortune that is neither owned nor sold.

Fresh forces of promulgation, of sustaination, and, of the continuum-momentum, are without tire, without fatigue, without stop.

The meaning of the name of Heaven is: replenishment. It is the ever-flowing fountain; and, paradoxically, through death one will find, that it is the very home of everlasting youth.

For nothing dwindles or dies in the spiritual realms. The depleted are fulfilled, and the shapeless become regenerated. Thoughts and hopes are the sprites of a cosmic dance that joyously twirl those starry lit fields in the ever morn.

Yes! everyone is Irish in Heaven! (a joke)

Revelation, not intoxication, enlights the mind with cheer and wonder.

And, everyone has their place.

One does not wander homeless as a constant refugee from materiality ... no, every single monadic soul has a home of their own that they can return to with visitors, companions and cherished animal friends. Life is more tangible than the physical world, because it is permeated with meaning and its very substance is durable.

From Heaven's perspective our descent into mortal life is death itself, rather than a becoming. At the very least it is as a tedious dream, at times with night terrors and at others, with perplexity ... a forgetfulness of one's root being, and immortality.

It is little wonder that the mortal consciousness is considered to be less than perfect, and only dimly aware; when, with the walk into Heaven one is fully sensing and knowing so much more. The forgetfulness of this world is its greatest peril. And the embrace of all that is Heaven is our ultimate life.

Passing back into the realm is as before - only with each venture had, there are treasures in hand, to be kept for ever more.

Recreated by the Power of Love- 11th April 2017

ONE great mystery of life is of the interconnection of all things: and this is primarily because of our beloved Christ and His connections within this World.

An example of this divine intersecting is when signs are looked for, and given, from the spiritual worlds into this one, translating messages and meanings for those to whom they are imparted.

Oftentimes there are seemingly nonsensical messages and connections that only purport to those who understand their particular meanings.

Of course the general explanation would be that it is nothing but nonsense, and that if one were to look for meaning in anything they can find it. This can be true. However and most interestingly, contrarily, the opposite is also true - insofar as everything has meaning and connection, absolutely everything.

Christ enabled Man to write a script that was his, and to have the ability to change the life around him where there becomes their meaning.

A sense of importance equals a sense of spiritual significance, whereby the invisible value of that which we seek to know is divined.

As beings of Christ we have and hold a creative force within us that is evoked through the power of Love.

Loving this world and engaging in projects and spheres pertaining to the great and the good and the furtherance thereof, qualifies and activates this power within.

It is that exact same power experienced in deep prayer, when one feels the summoning of the absolute into the heart, bringing the supplication of a new life into that which formally was deplete.
It is the same power that is experienced on the mountaintop when one tries to touch the sky with their imagination and broadcast their view over the expanse beneath to travel with thought through to the treks below.
It is the same power when one searches for an answer, and finds it in a remarkable place, although unknown before, and with such exact revelation the spirit is awakened once more.

The notions of 'haphazard' and the ideas of 'meaningless' are in themselves indescribable to the spiritual worlds.

The paradox is of course is that Man himself is the wilder element from which this unpredictability presides. It is through the creative power that the certain becomes the uncertain, that to the unknowing could appear haphazard or meaningless.

Love is love - and it is literally beyond compare.

What is meant by this is that the quality and substance of love itself is equal, and cannot pay weight or be measured from one to another with difference.

It is because of this fact that the spiritual worlds themselves take every man and his meaning, and his love, with serious gravity equally.

Because of this creative license there is no qualification needed or required as to what it is that the individual looks to.

This world is reimbursed and recreated continually through this power of love alone - it is the spiritual anima which invigorates and gives substance to the realities yet to come.

Only that which can die falls away and turns to dust.
There are plains and deserts in the Heavens to which this dust is blown into.

That which is perishable is of no value to the soul. The transitory always gives way to the permanent.
The spirit, our spirits, are strong and immutable. Our beings are permanent, they are fixed within the pristine eye of the Holy. Our place was, is and will ever be, eternal.

And everything we find the meaning of does remain - for this is our sanction, the gift given to Humanity, to be able to choose and make noble - yea immortal - that which we endearingly love.

The Light of Christ Will Infill the Many- 26th December 2016

Churchology and Christology will become the driving counter movements [to the anti-Christian forces in the world at present] as this century progresses, and beyond.

In physical numbers it will equal and exceed all of the Christian orientated souls ever incarnate in total within this world. 

In other words, not only will Christians reincarnate and take up again their mantle of unction repeatedly, there will be revelatory conversions that will sweep regions throughout for eons to come.

Christology is not an ancient impulse, but young in being, and becoming. 

It is ancient in origin - of the first and the last - however, its manifestive representation within the sphere of mind and heart, and egoic recognition is naive to this Humanity and its evolution. 

And, unlike social or ethical agendas, unlike group spirits or group consciousness, it adds to the ability of its constituents, rather than taking from them. It lifts up its society; giving gifts of peace, of grace, of imagination, of prayer’s portals, of empathy’s consideration, of a membership and perception into the largest universal family of humanity.

Christology offers the angelic protectorate; the sane counsel of the ancillary gods; the access to divine and inner knowing; the fast track out of the circuit of karma. 

It is the true conservation movement - for all souls, animals, plants and foods - begun in Christ, sustained by Christ, eternal in Christ. 

Not all those who say who they are, are genuine. The Devil is known for his misrepresentation of the truth about his own nature - he is the master deceiver, the illusionist, the cunning, with a face so horrible he learned time ago to hide it well. If you saw the Devil for what he is, you would run from him. He is genuinely repulsive to Man, for his one intent is the destruction of Man. Therefore, it is natural to run from him and all that stand with him.

Yet he is so easily recognizable. In this, the Devil is a fool. And he is of the ancient ways. He should have died out from the sphere of Man long ago. He has no place here - he is not wanted. Demented and hateful, most vile and pitiable. Yet, he must not be tolerated or accommodated. 

One can speak plainly and name something for what it is and does. In this way the Devil may be called out - for primarily this is a spiritual war with interior tension, and the recognition of deception is the cleansing of its force upon us.

It is, and will be, so wonderfully simple. The Light of Christ will infill the many: and they will come to know of His Presence, His Conscience and His Charity with tremendous clarity and fulfilment. 

The ages upon us are rich with consequence. This is a period to rejoice … for the knowing is nigh.

On Judgement - 20th September 2016

WHEN it comes to judgement, it is all too easily assumed that the bias of the Heavens runs against the individual, rather than having them care for the spirit and the personality within firstly. But this is not the case at all. The Heavens are the chief defenders of all. The place of judgement sits on behalf of that soul concerned - in respect for their welfare and improvement. It is not, and never, about punishment.

Life itself is primarily monastic - meaning: that it holds a singular perspective attributed to those things for which it is concerned, that in turn then flow out from this central nucleus.

This is not to say that the universal principle is one of self-centredness in a negative way. Self-centredness is a divine principle that necessarily gives way to other offspring principles radiating out from its core and being. We begin with one, and then move on to the many.

It is so often assumed that Life itself judges a man or woman, most harshly.

In the case of the tenets of morality, spiritual credence, parental guiding compelling behavior - in anything where an individual has been assessed to be engaged in a wrongful or hapless deed – how often it is that one can feel judged or crushed by the weight of such condemnation. And yet from the spiritual perspective, Life itself and in the spiritual world view, one does not understand any intrinsic value in condemnation at all.

In point of fact there is no productive currency in a creature or being feeling poorly about itself.

This is a liberating truth. 

And it goes to how we treat our fellow brothers and judge ourselves. For we can look to the cosmic beings and to the principles that uphold them well, and from this we understand that there is no positive value to be had in self-flagellation, or disgrace, or disgust, when it derides the soul within.

Dis-grace will block the very grace one is attempting to welcome in.

If a man works to have an excessive, obsessive, love and lust for wealth, it is often proffered to be abhorrent, sinful and condemnatory. To say that the love of money is a root of evil is a truth firstly given on behalf of the soul concerned. It is for the sake of that individual firstly that this is contemplated.

The point of judgement is not to condemn, the point is actually in the very truth it offers.

Yet so very often when such truths are evident we find that people become lost in the machinations of condemnation and persuaded into realms of thought that literally sidetrack away from the point at hand.

It is never about condemnation of others or self - especially when such condemnation is unproductive and perhaps inflammatory, creating an energetic feedback that encourages more of the same.

If an individual is given to improvement, the entire Realm has improved alongside his progress.

If an individual is downcast and dissuaded from his better self, it then also occurs that all around him are in sympathetic sorrow, and brought into likeness to his condition.

It follows with all things and all beings, that constant improvement is required, and an uplifting - rather than a disapproval or down-casting of that being.

Conversely it is to no improvement when one falsely attributes praise to the unpraiseworthy.

There is no benefit to believing a negative to be a good, as this is potentially harmful to all also.

Once again the point is always of the value, and is not about the feeling, or the secondary side concerns.

Unwarranted positive thinking in this manner is unproductive, unhealthy, and not to be encouraged as it hinders true improvement.

Goodness is its own reward.

If you effect an act of kindness, usefulness, cheerfulness, charitableness, effectiveness, you may not necessarily perceive the ennobled outfall, but nonetheless you will be immediately replenished with the same cosmic light that feeds all happenings. In this we feel, and are, closer to God. For it is by His Will that His children are helped along - and any emissary of this work, in this way, completes His Will.

And from the singular source of all, comes the outpouring life to the many. 

As we frequent doubts and self criticism, understand that these ideas are fruitless. To disparage ourselves or others, only encourages more of the same. 

The Two Fires - 8th & 11th September 2016

There exists two types of fire.

This is not to say: one that is, and the other lives in idea only - or that one that is physical, and one dwells in counterpart spiritually - but that they have two distinct natures, that there are two fires, that are both fire, yet completely different from one another.

And, also, these two have representation within this world and out of it, whilst being also comprehensively active within the metaphysical circumference.

They can be found in contemplative paradox and principle, whilst also in foundational science, through to the projective rays of future universal chemistry vernaculars.

The distinction is this: there is hot fire and there is cold fire.

Fire with heat - i.e. warmth and warming - and fire with a combustive motion and a subterranean power that it is hotter than heat, yet with no warmth manifesting, however is energetically stronger, expiring naught, yet invertedly, and central to itself, expiring within.

These two are not one and the same. They are independent in motion, in character, in physics. Yet they can manifest together, occupying the same space.

The cold fires can be present within the combusting, flaming, active hot fires - whilst the element of hot fire can (in higher world principle and below) be outwardly active with cold fire existing within the a mutual field as it were.

It would be an over-simplification to say that cold fire was inert and hot fire was expressive. For cold fire can have its own activity manifest past and future, and although it does not expire a warming or convert the ethers surrounding it, it actually compels light, which of itself, is different again.

By proxy, one could say that cold fire conveys elements of the Father God in that earliest of Divine principles manifest - with its own matter and memory rooted in eternity’s dawn, it is. Whilst the ever dancing Fires of warmth are children of a next generation Godhood, where manifestation graced the out-spilling cosmic realms, and into the matters at hand. 

The distinction between the two is enlightening. If modern Physics began to define and differentiate the contrasts - to name the two in their separate actions and presence - it could begin to give explanations as to why many catalysts are failing to complete, whilst others are active and expiring, giving reason as to why there are different outcomes seemingly for same or similar circumstances.

It is precisely because of the existence of two fires that our physical laws can deviate from sameness and predictability. There are caveats of course, but there are such combinations offered that give way to constant variables, increasing the perimeters of opportunity, design and consequence.

At the very core of physical wellbeing are the two fires and the knowledge and action of both. Yet they are not yin and yang, being both yang. In point of fact we have yin, yang and yanger.

They are not aligned with named virtue, but of themselves carry the essence of un-named qualities that precede all virtue. For fires refresh life, fires embody the forces of Divine motion, and energetically empower, and are empowered by the greater Will of cosmic enterprise.

It is therefore of uppermost importance that these two fires are understood to both be of fire firstly, and that cold fire is not in any way opposite, but different, and it is not less, but in actuality more.

Within our own natures, there are the two manifest - not only in physical electrical activity biologically, but also indwelling in the consciousness and the will. Both cold and hot fire manifests, singularly, concurrently, cohesively and independently.

The substance of cold fire is Spirit.

And the substance of Spirit is God.

Cold fire is hotter than hot fire, and yet it de-cinders, incinerates naught, disintegrates nothing.

It is before the will manifests - for it empowers the will to manifest.

It is before the light illumines - as it precedes the sparks and the rays’ incandescence.

It feeds all motion, yet its centre is stable.

It is ineffable and enduring.

It comes and goes.

Cold fire is unharness-able. 

Its divinity visits and departs, where it will.

The Wisdom of the Sages- 30th August 2016

THERE was always a sense amongst men, and a con-sense-us to wit, of an all-empowering presence watching over, individually and collectively, taking care of them throughout their days and nights within this World.

Since the dawn of time this nuministic experience was not one of a sinister ‘Big Brother’ looking over one’s shoulder. It was moreover an inward knowing of that divine consciousness, which looked out for the people - unseen, yet definably exalting; unknowable, yet divinely and intimately communicable - ineffable and affable.

This sensation of soul, of the higher influence, recognized that man and the spiritual beings worked shoulder to shoulder within this World. 

Fast forward to this age, to this present, and a similar experience lives above and within the collective psyche of societies today. It is similar in every way, yet replaced with a counterfeit of lesser standing.

Men and women have grown less conscious of their intuitive teachers and guardians. Their outreach and in-reach is muffled by a static interference of sorts … replaced with an inclining toward principle, rather than experience.

The same sense of being watched-over continues, but it is unconsciously now linked to such worldly bodies as: federal law, common law, parental disapproval, self loathing, electronic communication, the Police, the Army, the religious reckonings - whereupon the watchers have been replaced by regulatory emblems of social harness, rather than spiritual assistance.

The highest a man can reach for appears to be, by and large, a thunderclap - whether it be in the form of a parking fine or terrible medical report. The sensation of being watched-over is now a grim experience, and the comfort that was formerly nourishing the spirit is generally inpenetrable.

There is a twofold problem associated with this happening. Firstly the soul of Man has soured with disappointment; and secondly, the spiritual beings who are now disinvited are cooperatively passive, and although with a temperament to help, find themselves generally unemployed.

This is not to say that they are completely without their work individually and collectively - for in many respects they are more occupied than ever - but it is to say that their clear lights and pathways to understanding are shrouded with common day concerns that depart back into a heavy atmosphere, and the thoughts and minds in human life do not perceive them at all.

The root cause of this phenomenon is not materialism as may easily be supposed, but fear.

Materialism can be distracting to the spiritual consciousness, and is themed in most of the ‘powers’ mentioned above, yet it is and always has been a chief encouragement to enlightenment and inspiration.

From man-built cathedrals to findings in science, and into the revelations and discoveries within the natural world, the consequence of observing and learning through the materialistic gateway is enlivening to the soul within.

It was never a contest between the spiritual worlds and the physical world - it was never an ‘either or’. This is important to consider, and examples yet again how separated the two have become, to think that it might ever be.

The prophets enjoyed the elements, and often took to their deepest of thought whilst experiencing the exhilarating force of terrain, of mountain, of cave, of manna, of bread.
Material life was ever Deified.

Honey was a celebration of the gods, and men were celebrated in return. Life was a collaboration of the heavenly powers, with each human being kissed by this knowing. And, as a child in a park, they could explore freely, because they knew that the parent was there just a few steps behind them.

This coaxial relationship was intact.

Of course it is true to observe that in recent times the overall spiritual perceptions have been lessened by the incarnating process as it evolves to date. Yet, interestingly, the subject as discussed today is far separate to this - which is an important distinction and codicil, that was always there in place. And when one comes to think of it, were it not separate, Mankind would have been doomed from the outset.

That is to say, that it would have been a very bad plan indeed to throw races into cycles of evolution whereby they would lose their living connections with the supporting heavens simply because their substance was narrowing into a physically defined world. If anything, the contrast, should and would create more of a consciousness, where the soul of Man could grow to identify the voices of both [physical and spiritual].

It was never part of any plan to make this aspect (particularly this aspect) more difficult, because it is precisely this aspect which was the rope ladder to the stars - the safety cord - the means to be able to refer backwards and forwards from the one condition to the other with a constant rapport.

The trials of physical hardship were truly tempered in the past by that sense of spiritual support. Death itself was seen to be the comfort at the end, and the days between were lit by the happiness of spiritual companionship.

To be able to feel contained and upheld by the heavens infuses the worldly life in ways that calm and nourish the experience of living. And when sorrow or pain became overwhelming, it was the silent song of the parent-world that would comfort the soul. The plains of time would open out before the inner eye - and whatever the circumstance, they would have certainty that their life and all goodness, dwelt permanently outside the temporal.

Time and time again, this was the fundamental learning through this contrast of being. And without this experience, both the comfort and the contrast are gone.

There used to be a saying “you can blame it on the Devil”.

As ignominious as this may be, there is truth to it, insofar as the fable of Lucifer permits.

Long before the descent into matter, many evolutions earlier, an angelic being of pure origin, became brighter and stronger in ways that would appeal to the spiritual advances of Man. His radiance drew to itself such admiration that men would look to him firstly - he promised an eternity, a youthfulness that surpassed a supplication of comfort, it offered immortality. Lucifer was all beautiful, and yet at the same time, he renounced the world. Instead of a collaboration, he worked against its own determining, for all light was drawn back to him.

Vanity and false hope engraved cosmic roads leading to this angel of great appeal.

It was as though the opening act had taken over the show, as Mankind skipped its way into a bacchanalian abyss of celebrated self grandeur.

For this Lucifer became known as the false light, as it became so persuasive the souls of men saw only that light, losing fast their connections to the heavens as before. 

Earlier we spoke of Fear being the root cause of the disassociation from the Spiritual World's collaboration. It is interesting to note that even and especially is Lucifer himself compelled and motivated by it.

Fear is the back end to falsity. False hope and false vanity, false promise, false aggrandizement, these things will result inevitably with the sufferance of fear. Fear alerts one to the lack of substance. Fear whispers the truths they endeavor to conceal. Fear becomes the voice of the muse, the last lonely voice to be heard within and throughout. When the connections to the heavens are severed Fear will still call to us. This is the blessing of Fear.

Lucifer fears decaying and death. He fears the ugly, he cringes from poverty. He cannot withstand any trial of contrast or contest. He is fastidious and defined, unchangeable and introvert. Lucifer claimed self perfection and expects no less from the multitudes that cleave to him. And they do. The men and women of this age hold such small parameters of value and worth, duped by a forgery of a second-best sanctity.

Sorrow & Happiness- Good Friday- 25th March 2016

IT could be said that this World has but one happiness and one sadness consolidated into the many moments looking in. If we feel elation, it is truly the elation of our Creator that we experience in kind, and if we feel the degradation of a sorrow, it is truly that also of our Maker that we are coming to know.

The one tear from the Great Sadness could fill the oceans and seed the dew; and it was not for self but for all - it was from a God looking back, looking in.

In philosophy it is often discussed that a viewpoint is just that, and that the elephant is far bigger than the smaller perspective of it known. More accurately it is not an elephant but rather our Christ who is central to our understanding, and yet, in truth, far bigger than we can perceive in any one viewing, with any one insight.

We never really see the whole sunrise but look to a portion of that sky which shifts and changes with every nuance of new light infused with the color and the cloud, with an allusive grandeur in the dance before our eyes.

Whilst wisdom, divine wisdom, inspires our thoughts and refreshes our knowing, it is the cast of divine emotions of the Holy that motivate our own feelings - albeit in essence most usually, and not causal to what we may or may not attach them to within the world.

That we know the experience of suffering is only because of the suffering of the Divinity who precedes all human experience. And it is poignant, not necessary to the task - it moreover just is that this is so.

There is not one measure of sorrow or happiness that has come a wayward trail - and when during the greatest of sadnesses and joys we feel closer to the heavens, and nearer to God, it is for this very reason: that both sorrow and happiness are His firstly and we are just beginning to perceive these both - we are empathetic to the raw and boundless tides of divine emotion. 

Easter

Fish & Feathers- 21st January 2016 ©

The physical constitution of Man struggles within itself constantly - with its accommodation of the many streams of evolution concurrently co-existing within.

The memory systems within the body, and of the mind of the body, have gradually and progressively evolved capturing the cunning and intelligence, the format and composure, of the various ‘anima’ periods throughout the history of it all.

The Chinese attributions of Zodiac hold to similar principles, yet not of the topic today. It could be said that the evolution of the human form and function is distinctly more elemental at its foundations of physical existence - that subset being the cornerstone to Chinese doctrines subscribing to such divisions given also.

Fish are born of the sea, and birds are born of the sky. The soul of Man lives in both water and sky, and has the fish and the bird manifest within him. So too, the oceans dwell in Man, as do the Cosmic vapors: the breath of the Gods.

And just as the Holy Graal is the sacrum and host of the planetary being; and just as the divine and lasting epic of the Gods is truly what is to come, rather that what has been given in myth; it is also a plain truth that the Arcadian of Noah is the living vessel of each man - for not only is the Kingdom of Heaven within, so also is the Kingdom of Earth.

Returning to the principles of water and air we find that the most ancient of life forms entered this world through the airy and fluidic gateways firstly. Physical life took root by the grace and blessed permission of the hosts of the ethers and the angels of the watery elements. Life was then given mirrors for the spirit within that these two states of being might qualify the myriad of manifestations to come.

This happening was not simply of form, or the ability to hold presence in this world but also the spiritual gifts and qualities of both the air and the sea were imparted - of the beings of time and the angelic realm themselves, that flew in on the ideas of the gods, who with swift grace lit the empty landscape and waiting spaces with their visions from afar.

It is often concurred that simply because something may dwell outside of us it may not concurrently and also take residence inside of us: yet this is not the case, for indeed the opposite is true - namely - if you can see something (anything) not only does it live and exist outside from you and is embedded in a reality that it has found to be its common ground … it also lives inside of your being - having a space and a nature within that is vast and infinitely expanding the self that is you.

To say that the Animal Kingdom was once divorced from Man holds aspects of truth in relation to the separation at the time of the Fall, and the divisions of being therein - however the greater truth to be had is that coexistent are those same animals that have in actuality gone nowhere, and are still to be found as inhabitants of the nature of men individually and collectively in dual carriageways of evolution and aspects of karmic endeavour.

The conductor to this orchestra of being is Man himself and the composer of the melodies are the gods beyond.


A shaman might call upon the animal forces within to dark purpose - for the power of any species can impose upon the conscious nature of a man and exude debilitating acrimony. An example of this is where a magician or ‘holy’ man interferes with the animal nature of another human, calling forth - invoking, awaking the beast within - that it might disarm or disturb the other. Whether for themselves or for the control over another, these creatures are not usually licensed to hold influence enough to have their presence known, but when energised they can interfere with the operating consciousness that works to harmonise with surroundings and fellow men.


Creatures by their ancient natures are limited to their own kind - they are protective and most antagonistic to all ‘others’. For those individuals to whom a beast has infected their thinking you can find that their behaviours are similarly natured - bristling all too easily and wild around the eyes. Animals are anything but peaceful ordinarily. As infants there may be a period of play, and as juveniles they can also take rest from their worries for a time; however their most natural state is one of fearfulness, hyper-vigilance and agitation.


The plant kingdom is similarly natured - tenuous to the elements they can be irritated, troubled, wanting and parched, sad and withering - and even the most robust of trees feels the pains of the earth and the want for the clouds there above them.


The natural world lives in discontent. The common guided meditation will reflect on the peace of the natural world, but this is the peace in actuality as perceived by the individual, not of the reality of the nature within it. Both the forest and the oceans are verily a place of angst. Beware what tensions you might come upon if your insights lead you to into these truths.

Ironically and most wonderfully the being who holds the greatest capacity for peace - for satiation, for calm, for simple joy amongst it all, is Man. And that key to peace is the ordering of the life within and the life without.

This is My Body which is given to you - Easter, Good Friday 3rd April 2015 ©

The soul of man is not the body it ensouls... it never is and never was, and will not be. The horse is not the rider and the ash is not the fire; our spirits are free and strong, unmeshed from the physical world - unembalmed from the whole.

In one almighty collaboration, this world of deterioration, gracefully and ephemerally coordinates layers of beings through integration and generation; in multifarious form, with will and want, and life's experience - each in contrast to one another - in a play of semi-permanency throughout the shift of time.

Think now of the plethora of entities, lying in the dust of the cosmic amphora; skimming the pools of a leaf's dewy cup; aggregating within and about the body and mind of a man.

Yet, this world is not the god that does drive it.

It is good for a man to behave like a god - if he truly behaves in that way - that is godly. But if he bethinks himself a god, or a representation of god, or commissioned by god, yet does not behave as a god, he is mistaken.

Christ was never his body: same body that was deified - same body that was crucified - same body that was revivified. 

His body and He were not one and the same.

This point is made quite a few times, over and over, in the story that is His.

And, it is this truth that gives hope to us all - otherwise, the eventual end on Earth would be inconsolable.

Death is not death, it is but a shift from one realm to another, a transcendency out and away from dependencies and constraints - into a life more natural than the world itself can offer.

Before the resurrection, The Resurrection, there was a push within the earthly realm to immortalize men by holding captive their soul, in the confines of an ever perpetuated earthy tenement. And all the while the spirits of men had their god-given immortality that pre-existed their earthly periods, yet their bodies held this truth from them.

If the body believes itself to be a man, then this is good, if it acts like a man - but if the body believes it is the man, yet follows the wills and want of just body, then this is not good for the man - or the world.

The body loves living. It enjoys life and most of the pleasurable experiences. It is happiest and most conscious when it can see through the eyes of the spirit indwelling and experience both the sensation and the excitement of incarnation.

Entire cultures have been driven by the body not wishing to depart or die. It would not be impossible for the consciousness of the body to incarnate into that of an electrical robotic being if it promised an immortality.

The spirit of man is persuaded, but not so easily pleased as it knows the better existence - and no matter how far removed from the heavenly worlds, the soul gains its freedom, out and beyond the gates of this world, nightly in dreams, visiting realms, in which it enjoys the robust, energetic vitalities.

The body also sleeps and dreams, but its consciousness cannot penetrate past that first astral gate - and its recollections, if any, will be in accordance with its nature and understanding - limited by desires and capability.

The sagely kings brought the impulses from higher planetary spheres - such influences as did infill the spirit of the vessel thereby. Whereas the shepherds and the comely stable was of the body and its overall Animalia.

Of course this is not the whole story or distinction - but an aspect, in part.

At the time of the Christ child's birth the world had been saturated in a materialistic ectoplasm - a veritable slag of astral refuse - a material so dense that it dirtied the Heaven's view, and men all the while grew shortsighted peering through it.

Virtue and family became second placed to commerce and luxury, to power, and above all, infantilism - for what is the desire of the rich, but to set aside honest occupation and have everything done for them without effort or self worth?

This is a dangerous path - and societies one way or another encourage such infantile pursuits and behaviors, identifying in ways that a mature soul does not, and cannot find attractive, becoming repulsed from such most naturally.

A society that endorses slavery of any kind is infantile. 

In the Sermon on the Mount Christ urges the collective to acquire reflection and responsibility. He speaks of social and moral maturity; that they may see with the eyes to God once more. His words and their message immediately elevate the spirit from its sodden lot. He expects and predicts a community of reasonable and caring men whose lives are not dedicated to the transitory materials and are not made anxious by their sways and their calls.

The body worships the infant state - it is as the golden era, and of course, that time most loved by others, of all. The rays from the human spirit within are so strong, whilst the caring without is usually the greatest also during this time. It is that period when self-awareness and self-consciousness, and an all-determining ego have not yet entered in - and for this then the body feels supreme - (although not) - it most certainly bathes in the sunrise of each life with added glory.

By Christ we were given an entrance into the physical World and by Christ we were given the proper passage back out again.

Our bodies are not hateful to us, or at war with us, but nor are they sovereign to our evolution or deciding. The relationship is a complex one and mostly it comes with the greatest of love. Neither body nor spirit would harm one another. But just as we cannot dictate to the gods, nor can our beloved limbs dictate the realms we bide our time in. In this there is a true 'war of the flesh' to be understood - for desire comes in many forms.

Now there are a great number of reasons as to the mystery of this double-bind not being talked of or openly studied. Historically there has always been a perversion of extremes - of flagellation and condemnation - of resentment and denial of and with the body. This is the danger of taking the discussion into these aspects, and so it is prudent to caution the reader of these studies. The physical world, and the physical body is not evil. It is not inherently sinful - and is not at war with the spirit or its parent realms.

Having said that, the fleshly body takes instruction from its driver - and if the soul within cannot, or will not keep rein on its ride, then it will go as it will - and the pathways are many.

Overall this is what has happened, with a heightened evolution and awareness of its own throughout. 

 

"This is My Body which is given to you" -

Here is the divine offer for the exchange into that One body which has been accorded to Christ.

One of the greatest gifts to both the body and soul of Man was that Christ re-affect the cooperation between the two. It was by His synthesis to ours that this should be.
