Moment Of Truth

Anything you can conceive you can achieve, in time, if you understand the following things:

The timeless, infinite, all knowing, and all powerful One, who is present everywhere, came into the world, as the world; by being the consciousness which made it, and the sensibility to feel it out.  It was created out of a portion of itself, and done so that its' creator could experience all of The Creator's said qualities.  All was made from God, therefore even the unrighteous has righteous purpose; it serves to define what the other thing is, as well as, define what it is not.  Oppression spawns creativity.  That which is infinite and wholly, expresses itself in this objective realm or uni-verse, as an infinitude of forms; all expressing different beginnings and starting points, different emphasis, different combinations and different points of view.  Even as man—God formed the vessel called man as an entity with three layers of reality—then divided the one soul of man; into both man and woman.  So five things have got to be reconciled in order to have peace and harmony in the form which is called the kingdom of man: (1) To know what one is here for; the purpose of life—(2) to reconcile the forces within our lives/stop going to extremes—(3) to relate to the little bit of us in others and deal with the diversity/adversity—(4) become aware and—(5) find your soul-mate(s).  Of course, this is grossly different from the learnt behavior we have customarily adopted from the West, which is to look for the worst part in your brother and people first; like the French does to the English, the Irish to the English, and the English to everyone else.

In the Biblical book of Genesis, man was formed three times by The Supreme One [first as consciousness, secondly as a soul and third in the flesh], whose quality is a multiplicity expressing itself as a singularity: Man is made in a mirror image of this quality stated as God.  In a mirror, you see yourself in reflection; reflection like taking a good look at yourself; like reflecting on something when you are deep in thought. A mirror inverts things: The first becomes last and the last becomes first; the timeless becomes time sequential.  It is like two sides of the same coin.  Things that are known by the Creator, takes time to unfold in man's life.  Think about it: Your body is composed of numerous cells; each containing the ingredients to replicate your entire physical composition [aka the phenomena called cloning] and yet, as man, you experience life in this form—not as a multiplicity of cells; but as a singularity or single entity with an awareness [sentient].

Man, in the Book of Genesis, was formed when the Creator said; “Let Us make man in Our own image and likeness”—One aspect of God is consciousness or awareness (which in essence is infinite in its potential); And this awareness has the capability of willing things into existence.  This power works the same in man, as it does with the Creator; the only difference is that man's awareness is incarnated in time—and therefore his will takes time to unfold or manifest.  Another aspect of man, reflects the qualities of God's undifferentiated energy/matter, which subsisted in the void long before creation.  Some call this force “spirit,” while other wiser persons call it the soul.
Then finally, there's a fleshly aspect of our being, which is constructed from the soil of the earth—formed by differentiating a portion of the Infinite, Eternal One.  This Multitude expressing Self as a singularity, breathed into the nostrils of the newly formed molded lump of clay—infusing the previous two powers into this "potter's like vessel"—this “lamp-like fleshy form”—this form we call a human being [implying a "genii in the lamp"-like human form].  This aspect of man is ultra sensitive; perceiving things through a thing called senses; feeling things through a phenomena called nerves and nerve impulses—visualizing and dramatizing in such a way, as to make it hard to ignore the sensations surging through it, or ignore the not-so-pleasurable pain signals.

  
Yes, God wanted to experience the Self's said qualities, and created a vehicle to do so—but some times our salvation from being chained to this earthly existence impinges how we remain unfazed and/or unbiased from the things we experience, especially since feelings impact so strongly upon such a sensitive apparatus as the human vehicle.  We are just seers living in a physical form; and although we are in human form, we must, nonetheless, learn to become unfettered by our earthly experience; that is, if we are ever to free our minds.  In essence, We have to be, in the world but not of it.  
I guess, a lot of this misunderstanding concerning our existence, comes from the subtleties of being raised in this colonized country called the United States, a country loaded with many ethnocentric prejudices; making America incapable of teaching such lofty concepts to its populace—not to mention our kind (at least not my social circles), simply because these concepts don't produce good capitalist subjects, and are therefore only advocated within American masonic groups—but not within American culture.

 When the amalgamation of forces began to take shape in human form, each of the three aspects experienced in human form begin to seem like separate qualities (creating dilemmas in the psyche of man around decision-making processes because of its human form); all which have to be reconciled, if man stands any chance of making himself whole (or at least sane within an insane world).

  

There is no limitation in how much “like” The Creator could make man in God's image and likeness.  Likeness means similitude, aka in the same way, or to the same degree; as one might expect of the original or  the characteristics thereof.  Therefore, when man was said to have eaten from the fruit of The Tree Of Life, the promised idea was; that man would become wise as Gods; wherefore this Godly creature would have to examine all the thoughts and suggestions that enters into his sphere of Awareness, and then make the appropriate or right choices to express its godliness; and subsequently take responsibility for the acts performed, and this would then bring the being into the realm of carrying out what The Creator wills—make him whole, or one with that which gave it—ultimately reuniting Self as The Godhead.  After all, God came into physical existence to experience God’s said qualities—so finding the appropriate qualities and enacting these tenets leads to man’s Godly personifications. 

Each man and woman is formed on earth with different starting points, different places of reference, different emphases, and different combinations; each focused with different aspects and/or qualities, each with different trials and/or tribulations associated with their decisions, separated in growth by time, receptiveness, stubbornness, fixations, and apathies: On face value—man seems like a separate beings—each existing for their own aggrandizement; but the truth is, man is a vessel for God to experience qualities through: That makes sense, for seeing or being as one with the creator is considered by many as a higher state of development. Some people called it, “Spiritual Development.”  In life, we make choices, and in our choosing, we follow the path of that particular decision or fixation that we embrace.  Never forget for one minute—each quality that we choose represents various paths—for each deed committed, which then has consequences to them; thus learning becomes a search for the appropriate actions which will not only un-complicate things,  but, "Will bring forth good fruit in due season." 

These experiences, are not just the trials for the consciousness which dwells in human form; they were Experiments with high explosives.  Don’t forget, in order for man to be capable of being fruitful and multiply, he would have to properly express this possibility, by creating an infinitude of forms (having children, grand children, and great grandchildren, etc.) by re-uniting with his soul mate(s).  The Creator separated man from woman (at least, so says the Bible) and man has to find her to reunite with his other half.   Thus, in this scenario, man must locate his female complement and give birth to his progeny through the female aspect of himself—for The Creator created man and his soul mate, from the same energy portion of substance, that we call man.  So then, this becomes, in another way, part of man's "balancing act."  

The judgment of thoughts and/or the consideration of qualities is a very important part of man’s existence. Judgment is essential for protecting one’s soul—for the soul is unable to choose favorites per sé—the soul relies on the conscience in man to analyze, discriminate, and choose right from wrong; and the soul's one condition is to produce whatever seed is planted into her.  Remember: “Light shines into the darkness, but the darkness comprehends it not.”  If a seed thought gets by the watchful third eye of a rational mind reviewing thoughts, feelings, and qualities within the sphere of awareness (i.e., the place where proper judgment occurs); then the seed will be planted within the garden of the soul.  Once this occurs, it will combine with many other related qualities—manifesting as a powerful thought complex, called an elementar or idea—a form which is impossible to stop; which will take place in due time!

Oops, there it is!  Clean up on isle 24!  Another unplanned pregnancy, with the baby on the way!  “Fine mess you got us into Ollie!”  Now this has to be reconciled too.  Better hope you do it, before it becomes habitual; for habits are even harder to break—once they're set in motion.  But for the time being, recognize, your ship has been commandeered by renegade thought.  

The soul is made in the image of that aspect of self which is described as undifferentiated energy/matter; Both man and woman possess it, but the preponderance of operation works slightly different in woman than men—it is more developed—aka, she can give birth to his offsprings or progeny.  Man’s complexity is focused on willing things into existence, through the sheer force of will.  His preponderance is the potentiality of such an event.

Whereas the previous consideration of consciousness in man, reflects Kether; which is the first realm or sphere on The Tree Of Life—that represents the Self’s idea of Itself/combined with Chokmah—which represents the critical ability to see the interrelationship of things; aka the planter of the seed.  The soul of man, reflects the third sphere; Binah—aka the magic owner.  Binah’s ability is like those of the “Immaculate Conception: she receives the suggestion, but another aspect of her carries the baby to term; leaving her open for the next suggestion”  Once an idea is implanted into Binah, or the soul (for that matter), Binah designates just a small portion of itself to the task of having the “baby,” whereas the rest of the realm remains ever-ready to receive the next seed-thought or sperm-like idea (set of instructions).  Sort of looks like the “bubble in the Infinitely vast ocean concept,” doesn’t it?  Looks like an embryo in an embryonic sea within the placenta, doesn't it?  Always ready to manifest at the mere “drop of a hat” [at the mere suggestion].

  

Now being in the human or fleshy form comes with its own set of complications.  On the top of the list  is time: Meaning our time on this planet is time sequential, and therefore subject to time, and having things unfold in time; aka, "It take time and experiences to come to the realization."  Very few concepts come to human beings all at once [aka realizations—making sense—clear mental pictures, etc].  Now, I know time allows the consciousness within vessels to savor the flavor and mull it over; but back on earth, where we live, the ordeal can get a little frustrating, waiting for a sign.  Secondly, barring a six sense, the human vehicle engages the physical world through five physical senses.  The human vessel is wired up for, and/or subject to, sensations, feelings and time.  Time fragments the consciousness, which permeates the brain, bringing awareness to knowledge perceived mainly through confirmation, information, intel [information/intelligence] and experience; awareness in the subjective realm, becomes hunches in human form; manifesting a bit of uncertainty, as to whether, what you are feeling is, intuition or fixation or strong opinions; in which case you'll need proof or confirmation—overtop of these feelings, which can make you feel so strongly about such things.  Urges and hormones dominate sometimes over our better judgment; feelings, and emote reactions often overrides sensibilities and reasoning—often affecting error; only to have your conscience rib you and say, "I told you this would happen."  But recognize, all these voices and ultimately the decisions are yours!

                                                             

Which brings up another issue: What you call the real "you," is not one perspective, but several?  Man is a multi-polarized being, which can sometimes go to extremes; he needs reasoning to centralize or center these conflicts.  The thoughts you judge are literally living-entities; composed of pure energy, with minimum physical characteristics; vying for you to act on behalf of them.  Your only refuge from their persuasive influence is your discernment—and many religions say, in the end, you will be judged for that discernment (or how good you were at it).

Biggest issue about living life through physical form is: “Are you a human who is aware, or are you consciousness dwelling in a physical form?”  Is the God you serve within you or outside of you?  Are you included as one with God; or just a worshipper, made by God but not as a part of?  Believe you me, they are not interchangeable ideas.  Nor are they easy to distinguish.  The first one thinks he is a human being, and therefore believes what he feels is real.  His passions and proclivities speak the loudest to him or her, and his or her intuition or knowledge speaks the softest.  The other wise entity knows that he is in a vessel, which he or she knows has its own signals and communiqué; which sometimes run contrary as to what the consciousness wills. . .

All of creation came from one source and all creation must be reconciled; meaning, put in proper perspective.  All things have a purpose; including that which seems to be wrong.  God came here to experience God's said qualities through creation; so while in human form god does.  All must be done in appropriate steps.  It is like learning to walk; the baby struggles--but in the end, the baby walks.  What we (while in human form), must do is focus on getting it right.  Then comes the light; then we will understand it better; then we see the significance; then comes the realization.  This is the purpose of a sentient being.  Discipline, focus, and subduing passions is paramount in keeping control over your environment, while you are in a human form.  The Battle of Armageddon starts from within.  We all come here with a purpose to fulfill in the midsts of adversity.  We find it hard to see we are one, while in this form; but if you think about it, it can't be any other way.

In America, we weren't  taught to think highly of ourselves.  We were not taught to believe in ourselves as architects or composers.  We were stolen from our motherland, to be a source of free labor to work for another group of people.  We were forced to be slaves and worked hard, so that the master can get rich from our labor.  Slavery was institutionalized in this country—meaning, it was written and interwoven into America's social, political [laws and legislation], and economical practice.  Socially, Blacks were considered subhuman and menials, politically we had no rights (like persons in the prison system), and we all know of the economic payoff.  You can sing your ass off (if you want to), but you won't collect the "real paper," until you start writing and composing your own songs.  Coltrane and Ellington were composers;  Chuck Berry and Little Richard were, as well.  Most noted musicians and singers who will be remembered for posterity will be.  You can only be great in another man's house, when he acknowledges that you are.  Other than that, you will only get crumbs when you perform; while others will perpetually receive royalties every time someone records their tune.

This has the American experience for Blacks.  For centuries, Blacks just wanted to fit in; to be accepted by White society.  The more we tried, we got treated like the source of  pestilence or as a pariah to American society.  We were treated as though we were the ones who did something wrong!  In the 1950s, in this country we had lunch counter and public utility segregation and discrimination.  Blacks and Whites were not allowed to sit together by strong mores and in many cases, the law!  Psychologically, this began to make us feel inferior, and even though socially, there isn't so much overt racism, the scars are still felt in the Black community; therefore, the above concepts are hard for some of us to conceive.

And besides that, the transformation of  Hebrew teachings (during the advent of  Christ) into Catholicism and Protestantism is the only claim Europe can make to the World Religion scene.  None of their religion or early belief systems have survived.  In traditional so-called Africa and lands of the East, there is the science of chant, ritual dancing and meditation.  Though these concepts had been imitated for a short period in European countries along the Mediterranean Sea (namely Greece and Rome); the West has serfdom (and practices it today)—but it has never cultivated a science of mental or spiritual development for its people.  Social graces was something reserved for and practiced amongst aristocrats. 

For those who are having a problem understanding the emphasis of Western culture, you should study, Feudalism, the Dark Ages, Colonialism, and Industrialization.  The picture should become quite clear then.  The Age of Enlightenment* in Europe, had very little to do with the cultivation of the electro-magnetic or so-called "spiritual side" of man—nor does it have to do with true reasoning and rational ability.  If anything, in the West so-called civilization rationalizations began to take the place of moral judgments; along with empiricism taking the place of true scientific study.  Family and humanity within the Western world became down played for the bottom line.  This is how the West built their society.  This is what Western interests are.  These are the emphases of Western society.  

In America, there's the very rich and those who work for them—and those who work for them are serfs.  All other classes in Western civilization are degrees of servitude or slavery.  In other words, there's the poor and the rich slave makers of the poor—whether the people are Black or White.  The same thing goes for the immigrants who come here.  Mobility within American society relies on education, manipulation, and relative social acceptance; which is achieved by falling in line to the White superiority social structure and subduing your own ethnicity.  It purports a multi-cultural society; but it is really Western White dominated colonialism.  Those who are non-White will have a hard time advocating ethnocentricity in North America:

That being said, you will be hard pressed to find any religion in the world today which came directly from Europe.  Yes, Catholicism and Protestantism is something created in Europe; but these religions are birthed from Hebrew teachings—and those in the East who believe that the Messiah came to earth when Jesus was incarnated.  The West bolsters philosophy, but Plato studied under the Mystery System in Khamit (Kemit).  Therefore, we cannot look to evolve mentally, by using Western tactics.  True reasoning incorporates the principles of knowledge, wisdom, understanding, universal love, compassion, analysis, justice; with congregative and persuasive abilities.  Capitalism does not teach this.  If you want to evolve into Self awareness or being sentient, the philosophy and politics of current Western society will not teach this to you because, it isn't "built like that"—the West is based on having its' way and appearing to have virtuousness and righteousness; but the hour glass tells a different story. 

As it has been said, numerous times, God created creation to experience his said qualities.  If an infinite entity is going to canvas itself into its' own creation, it is going to do so through an infinitude of forms.  I like the Muslim phrase, All praises due to Allah, Lord of all worlds; it carries an emphasis very germane to my topic.  Each quality manifested to exist within the world we exist in, has both an interdependence and an ego-centered aspect about it at the same time: How does the saying go—"You're the Most important person in the world to you?"  Well, don't forget the phrase, "I am because we are. . ." Both of these sayings apply to the myriad of qualities that exist in the world as well.  The truth of the matter is, the true "you," are related to everything around you in the universe, you just haven't figured out the relation yet.  

All qualities made in the world have both universal and narcissistic factors built within them; the question is: "To what ratio has one incorporated these aspects with their being; and to what degree?"

Every form created on this planet has a preservation factor built into it; every quality has a somewhat ego-centered aspect to match its congregational side as well; each and every part has a presence which makes it know, there is a higher aspect which all belong: In other words, all entities have a side that pushes their agenda along certain guidelines—viewing life mainly from their perspective—like the "World According To Garp."  We can't just believe any one of these qualities is the ultimate, we must analyze all qualities that we come in contact with, for their underlined significance. . .  
Thoughts are living beings without any human vehicle to express will through; they're somewhat symbiotic: That's why they come to you in the form of a suggestion or subliminal seduction—they need you to work in their behalf.  Thought complexes are entities which include qualities that are called archetypes; which many poets personify into characters.  And for good reason, I might add--for once you do the bidding of a particular quality, you are under their vibration—aka, you are possessed.  That's why there's conditions that exist, known as temporary insanity and acts of passion, for example.

  

If the act is appropriate, it is no problem, because it is the right thing to do; but one must remember, though all is one, every thought that pops in your head is not you or good for you: Thoughts are objects of contemplation for humans to reason out and choose from; not things that they are obligated to.  Thus the reason why we need true critical consideration and analytic skills [so-called thinking], along with true rational ability.  
As stated before, man is a multi-polarized being, possessing several qualities as a general persona, with emphasis on certain aspects—to the exclusion or limitation of others; Which means, though everyone has a purpose in life and can be characterized according to temperament as well; it is important to recognize that all of us are essentially unconditioned and unlimited in our original nature.  We can make several different choices.  Just observe a baby growing up, and you will see earlier in their lives when they act with "God-like dispassion" towards things—and other times (during the rearing or cultivation stages), when they start to develop personalities, fixations, and proclivities.  In order to develop into a divine-like nature, one has to behave more like a scientist or anthropologist and practice more neutrality or centeredness; until the truth is reached or the appropriate measures are discovered.
But until we find our way, most men (while in human form) are grossly typified as being opinionated; aka, aroused by things that feel good to their developed collection of ideas, called persona or persons.  But persona is not you, it is more like a rehearsed condition reflect—a kata—so to speak; used for the purpose of avoiding having to contemplate or so-called—"Think out everything."  People who act in this manner, on a consistent basis, are seen to be rash and impulsive.  Once again, we are sentient, not automatons.  

Understand this: These qualities or entities have a way of their own.  A person exploring the quality of lust, for example, can be caught in the suggestions the thought-form suggest for a very long time; if your persona finds the suggesting quality alluring.  You may find this person summoning that quality or thought on a regular basis; and every episode done on behalf of that dialogue--becomes incorporated into the persona and becomes part of their relationship.  In turn, the archetype entices the person further into the maze of experiences.  Believe you me, these episodes may be quite intimate; however one must come to grips with the fact that one's persona is not the true Self—but a collection of experiences and their associated memories; collected by the awareness who has those experiences: And in this regard, the worst thing you can do is lie to yourself and blame someone else; for in these cases, you will never really get to the bottom of whom is causing all this to happen.  These perceptions too, may take the place of knowledge--but the basis of this revelation more of emotion than realization.

Remember, Biblically speaking, God made the devil.  God made the devil, the chief archangel over all angels; and that archangel went against God and became archetypical form of opposition and evil.  So then, why did God make devil?  To show forth and prove God's powers.  The greatness of man is forged from adversity.  You have a good conscience and a bad conscience.  And sometimes you decide to do something over your better judgment--so much so, until that procedure becomes habitually set; but with a little Self-talking to, that inner voice of Self can have you rise and walk away:  So seek reasoning, rationality, pursue the truth and stop going to extremes; learn the balance between these powers and stay centered--seek the truth and make an allegiance to live by your findings.  God puts the devilish powers under God's heel.  The first Armageddon is within ones being; but keep in mind; The kingdom of God is also within. 

In a world made from One—and out of One, everything is interrelated.  It takes time, and a path along these lines of observation and development, for these things to start becoming clearer to you.   Wisdom is to see the interrelationship between all things.  With a little steadfastness along these lines of contemplation, one might become as the archetype suggests. . .   

As we follow in the footsteps of our divine purpose, it should be no surprise then, that those qualities would teach us more about these interrelationships; for man is a social creature, and God is a group reality, experienced through the individual (and indivisible) form.  "Where two or more are gathered in my name; There am I, standing in the midsts of them."  Some say, "God is Love," but God is also Justice—and all the main prophets also taught freedom, justice, and equality, as the roots of civilization and social harmony.  Love, from man's point of view, consists of care, duty, respect, sensibility/compassion as well as sensualism.  Seek the center path, and you will find that understanding.  In learning to grow in the proper way, one will have to stop being a slave to passion and to find joyousness in this type of labor; instead of pursuing happiness, we should be happy with what we pursue.  Learn to respect all aspects of life, for all things have their purpose: Namaste.  God is the life which peers through many faces. 

Thank you for your consideration,
