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.
