The Reflection of
Evil
12-13-01
The first thing to
understand
about evil is that it can only enter the material world through us. The
second thing to remember about evil is that it is real. Practically
every
history and religion on the planet earth today, tells us of the
existence
of evil. Yet in just the last five hundred years, humanity has
“matured”
to the perspective that the world of spirit does not exist. This
revelation
is a direct result of our pursuit of physical science and technology.
Our
seeming ability to conquer the elements of the material world around us
has given us the sense that we, in the material sense, are superior to
every other form of life on the planet. This barbaricly childish
reasoning
has led us deeper into an illusion of our selves that is rapidly
becoming
our undoing.
The world of spirit
is real,
has been real, is currently real, and will continue to be real long
after
our current material reality has long since become dust. That’s because
the universe is composed of “organized energy”, we are composed of
organized
energy. We are energy. We are not our physical bodies, they are simply
an amusement park ride we get on and get off of each lifetime. The
problem
for us lies in our childish insistence that the ride is real. We get so
caught up in the excitement of the moment, we don’t want it to end, and
we want it to stay the same forever. Well, we can’t.
We see death as an
end, rather
than a beginning. Our common fear of death is based in our disbelief of
reincarnation. This is a product of materialism. We think death is the
end, once the body dies it’s all over. Death taught us fear, fear
taught
us violence, and our lives have been corrupted ever since. We are
addicted
to our material illusion. Because, we believe more in our individual
physical
expressions than we do our true spiritual expressions. We are incapable
of understanding what happens in death. We watch the physical body-grow
old as a thing and death becomes just the end of a thing. What we can’t
notice without a proper spiritual disposition, is that the physical
body
is like a drug for us. As spirit, it gives us the chance to explore a
whole
different reality from a variety of different lifetimes. As spirit, we
never die. As spirit, our destiny lies far beyond what or where we are
now. The material world for us is a manifestation of the spiritual
creativity.
Light, water, and minerals all participate in the forming of life, but
the two, water and mineral are physical elements. Light represents the
cosmic fire that initiates the combining of elements into higher forms
and eventually into us. The physical body dies when we, as spirit,
leave
it, but we as spirit live on, learning from our interactive experiences
in the material world.
The trick to
understanding this
is realizing you’re watching five dimensional TV. The five
physical
senses, taste, touch, smell, seeing, and hearing, are the reality we
perceive
outside of ourselves when we are awake. We are somewhere else on the
inside.
We go someplace else during sleep. The material world can be just as
much
illusion as your imagination. You must realize that almost 99% of the
way
you in particularly see the world, is generated in your mind, not
outside
of it. Input from the five senses make the illusion believable. If your
internal reactions have already been trained by the nature of your
environment,
you are caught in the spell we call culture. Which means to a certain
extent,
you are predictable. If you are predictable, you can be tricked. If
everyone
in the room is equally predictable, tricking the whole room will only
reinforce
the trick for all involved, and it will be easier than trying to trick
just one person at a time. In fact, the more people you can trick at
any
given time, the stronger will be the perceptions of the individuals
involved
that there was no trick. Sound tricky? This is the nature of material
illusion.
A tree is just a
tree; it will
not play tricks on you. In fact it won’t even move for you. People, on
the other hand, can be elusive. The reason a person can be something
else
on the inside than they are on the outside, is because we are not the
physical
body, we are multidimensional beings. The physical body is like a car
with
tinted windows that we ride around in. You can only see what’s inside
if
you look real carefully.You can’t see all of us with just the five
material
senses. Emotions are not achieved via the material senses, you can’t
see,
smell, taste, hear, or touch an emotion. Feeling is one of our
multidimensional
senses. Our feelings are invisible to the material world, because
feelings
are energy. Those impulses of energy and can have a localized effect
upon
the physical body they emanate from. The heart races, the mind is
burdened
with illusion, the body feels sick, etc. At night when we sleep, as
spirit,
we leave our bodies like a light switch being turned off. More
specifically,
when we sleep, our astral body and our “I am” leave, and our etheric
body
stays with the physical body. Sustaining and restoring its vitality for
when we return in the morning and the light switch is turned on.
Energy exists in a
variety of
forms. The form of energy we call feelings is the most intense
expression
of energy we can perceive from a purely material perspective. These
impulses
we call feelings originate in a place energetically beyond our
feelings,
in perception. A place where we originate as pure energy, or spirit.
Feelings
are our spirits reaction to what our senses perceive, and the mind
imagines
in response to those perceptions. But feelings can also feel other
feelings.
From a material perspective, the spirit world is an invisible world
within
us that encompasses everything outside of us. This world is
visible
to the clairvoyant, and it is becoming more visible for many of us. If
you think your suffering from General Anxiety Disorder, you could be
one
of the people beginning to perceive the spirit world. But, you do not
need
Paxil. From a material perspective going within, the first expression
perceivable
of the spirit world is the feelings. Feelings of strong emotion that
pass
through us unexplained. Intuition becomes the concept of perceiving the
spiritual posture behind the actions of others. The spiritual posture,
or intent, is the true essence of any action taken. The intent is
provided
by the sum of your entire spiritual existence in coordination with the
purely material perceptions of your current physical body. Your choice.
Your karma is based not on your material actions, but on the spiritual
intent behind them. God exists in this world of spirit; it probably
does
not even see us in the material. Its relationship to us exists in this
world of energy. To it we are energy. It is the source to which we
aspire.
It calls us within to learn more about ourselves.
Demons are spirit
too. They also
exist in the world of energy. Evil would tempt us out into our material
limitations. They do not want us to develop the ability to understand
ourselves
spiritually. They enter through the animal nature within our genetic
ancestry,
what we like to call our primitive past. That animal is still very much
a part of us today. Passion and physical attraction are the sum of our
experience of the animal within. The trick is the animal has been
subordinated
to our higher thinking functions. If those higher thinking functions
become
vulnerable to illusion, the animal can be tempted. It is no mistake in
our culture that the naked form, be it male or female is most blatantly
used as an icon to tempt animality within us. Desire leads to
competition
and the public animalistic mating ritual. The public degradation of sex
that we allow to be exhibited within our culture corrupts our
perception
of one of our most sacred forms of self-expression and union. The
process
occurs gradually, over time we are tempted to sex in a material sense
rather
than a spiritual one. And yet for most people the key point of
enjoyment
in sex is the spiritual orgasm that occurs at the height of arousal,
especially
when that leap is taken with a loving companion. But fear of physical
rejection
encourages us to jealousy and egotistical competition. Modern media
stimulates
this perpetual competition.
Modern media has
become the most
impressive medium for transplanting concepts into human consciousness
in
all of recorded history. With the assistance of pharmaceutical drugs,
the
combination can be lethal to a healthy human spirit. Media draws the
culture
we presume to aspire to. Media is both reflective and subjective. Fear
is the primary entryway media uses to get into a human spirit. It was
your
parent’s responsibility to instill fear in you as a child. Humans
instinctively
abhor violence with other humans, that’s why violence shocks us into
different
thought forms and emotional postures. Media breaks our abhorance to
violence
through repeated exposure. Once the violence tool is firmly embedded in
the human psyche, purely psychological constructs can be attached to
the
fear of physical violence. That will no longer require the act of
violence
to actually occur, the mere threat invokes the memory of past violence,
and the subject will respond. These are the basic concepts of animal
husbandry.
Yes folks, you are in essence, cattle. That’s not to say you don’t have
hope. You are a divine child of god; you will always have hope because
you will always have choice. What you have to acquire on your own, is
realization.
Because we have been
bred to
dislike any form of violence against us, violence is what’s used to
corrupt
us. Karma should have taught you by now that all of your actions return
to you. If not, time to get with the program, because it does. Of
course,
because you have only just come to this realization, don’t expect
things
to get immediately better because you suddenly suffered a case of
remorse.
This may play like a game, but the results are for real. If you
constantly
generate bad intent towards others, you will fall with the rest of the
falling angels. These very fallen angels are the ones that seek to
tempt
you to ill. When the jerk in traffic cuts you off, they are the upswell
of violence you experience at the moment of anger. You may have noticed
that when your day is one case of anger after another, by the end of
the
day you don’t feel so good. Lets look at that again. Lots of anger
makes
us feel bad; therefore it cannot be good. It could be that simple. Your
power of choice is sufficient to overcome this urge, provided you are
able
to clear your mind of illusion, and make decisions that lead to your
greater
wellbeing. The universe cannot be tricked, and you are not clever
enough
to trick it. Human vanity is our greatest weakness. We think we can
outsmart
anything. This is materialist thinking based on a disbelief in the
spirit.
Approach the universe in wonderment and awe and you will see the glory
of heaven revealed to you.
This reality calls us
to participate.
Calls us to hear the stories of our brethren written in the histories
of
every peoples of the world. When we can achieve a point where we
consciously
choose to have only good intention to the people we meet in life. We
begin
to move in a different direction. In time, the intent we have sincerely
displayed and felt will begin to have an effect on the actions that
come
back to us. In time, and with conscious practice, one could even
achieve
the perspective that all actions taken against you are for the
betterment
of your soul, and are the reflected expression of your will to be. This
is the positive side of karma, it’s not designed to hurt us, it’s
designed
to teach us. This, will to be, can be compromised by illusion, if the
individual
chooses in ignorance. Mistakes allow us the opportunity to correct
painful
behaviors. Ego has us believe we can get away with it. The landscape of
your consciousness is not the world you perceive externally with the
five
material senses. It is an internal world you must learn to see. It is
like
a vessel that must be guided. By choosing good, as with evil, you build
behaviors that eventually call good things to you. While with evil, the
incidents get increasing more difficult to navigate.
If we remove
the external
metaphor of war and violence, and just look at the nature of conflict.
We observe that the concept of conflict is inherent in nature. Now as
materialists
we have a pretty varying definition of conflict. And this isn’t to say
all conflict is bad. Because in essence, conflict is simply change. The
Universe exists in a constant state of change. This constant change
often
stimulates violence, but violence doesn’t have to stimulate violence.
When
the individual responds to violence with violence, the individual has
been
tempted down the wrong path. We all know the process of opening our
hearts
requires us to dismantle the defenses surrounding it. Emotionally, our
culture exists in a state of emotional trauma incited by the very
violent
nature of our fear. We already have fortresses built around our hearts
sometimes before we even enter the first grade. We spend our lives
trying
to accommodate this trauma. Which is almost impossible to do without
the
recognition of the realm of spirit. While the element of evil in our
midst
is steady inspiring us to commit more violence, ever deepening the pool
of karma among us? Which in our next life almost certainly means there
too will we encounter karma we don’t feel we deserved. Every choice we
make moves us up or down. It is the evil within us that incites us to
seek
its refection in others. Likewise, good will incite us to seek its
reflection
in others. Which do you prefer? The choice is yours.
