Which version of this book is the best? Trying to get a copy as a gift for my partner! Any advice please

Breath in, Breath out; a thought appears
To anyone with ears to hear:
All things of form, must one day die
Illogical to think: ‘Not I!’

Yet the soul craves eternity;
To claim part of infinity.
To go beyond this world of form,
And find the peace within the storm

But something that relies on you
To hold together just like glue,
Will surely fade when your form ends
Unless carried beyond by friends.

It’s “your’s “ or “lasting”, can’t be both.
You may plant trees, but aren’t the growth.
Ego’s big lie is: “Legacy”
That “this” will be thought of as “me”.

Release association with
The thought you leave behind a myth.
So yolk yourself to those you love,
Together reach for stars above.

Give all you have to those to come
No longer yours; their Will be done.
You are part of the unity,
Where walls dissolve ‘twixt you and me.

A unity thats infinite
Both harmonic and dissonant
So serve it wise, and completely
And it will treat you most sweetly

Interdependence is the key,
To realize “I” don’t end with “me”.
For after death proceeds my deeds.
Breath out, Breath in; the thought recedes

Have you seen it?

Let's start off with the more chill (but still not good) ones. I'm in my senior year of highschool, and as you know it can be boring. I would get a feeling that I would have a bad day and say to myself "I hope something interesting happens today." Every single time I said that someone had a seizure at school. A different person with no history of seizures every time. 5 times before I realized it was me.

Next, the Covenant school shooting. I was walking home when all of a sudden I got a horrible feeling, like sadness and terror. I heard what I now think we're gunshots, as well as a firetruck and screaming. I felt like someone was following me. When I got home I knew something had happened, and I turned on the TV. That's when I saw what had happened.

I have other cases of similar things happening before I realized I may have intuition. Why does it only happen when it's something bad? Did I cause the seizures?

So I've got a long story and I can give more details once people engage in a discussion with me. I want to ask that people keep an open mind - You cant remove my angel from my mind and most fellow christian approach to any of this is not to trust it but it is inherently a part of me and any grace and so forth I carry in my life.

To give a little detail that leads up to why I believe my angel may have planted a feather in my pocket... I saw a feather and felt a feather (or so I thought!)

I have been blessed with a spiritual lesson by Horus in years past to know how to meld my conscience will to the universal source as a way to overcome negative spiritual stimulation Ive dealt with over the years. The blessing came after a years worth of daily meditation to overcome psychic or spiritual damage that repeats and the lesson came in the form of a golden owl manifesting in my living room upon the metal gate of our fireplace and the story just grew deeper from there that whole night and things have progressed on our property since that night.

(sunlight and darkness are what I refer to as 'source'.)

When I was 17 I had several very significant dreams with religious implication and/or God figures in them within locations above the earth or unknown locations.

I share my Conscience with my Guardian Angel whom I call Yahweh Sophia.

I was having dark imaginings tonight. I had an energy draining my life force and feeding me lies with that drain and I made a conscious decision like I have many times to enter into a very dark room and become the darkness itself. This is a commonplace problem I face that Ive found solution to.

I intended to focus my will towards the source of this drain on my life force with willful intention that I was going to 1. Show it what it was causing me and 2. I had full intent to draw upon the forces around me to defend and force the source of this drain to let go in whatever way I could within that space. I call it my own foolishness that I would turn to violent imaginings to do so which may further explain the manifestation of my canines growing "activated" at certain times but I associate that particular matter with spider venom from a spider bite I had while sleeping from a spider native to Arkansas docks.

The spider in question has a large bulbous back with a muddy water look and they're real gnarly looking.

so back to the story regarding the intent in the dark

Instead of going full force at it with possible attack mentality I chose to move towards merciful thinking because I am in many peoples view as well as my own sense of preferred self - a pure human being who has always drawn and moved towards pure intentions and pure motivations and anything thats not considered pure under scrutiny has often been damaging for my body on a physical level to deal with or be around

I went to the source of my Angel who typically stays in the upper atmosphere or comes near to me

Behind my eyes in the dark I spoke to Yahweh Sophia and showed her my experience I was having and how I intended to put a stop to the obstruction of my energy and I asked for mercy for myself because of the dark imagining I was being drawn towards.

And wouldn't you know it - I reached in my pocket and found what I saw and felt was a small white feather while I was outside. It was about 11:20 at night. Full moon in the sky.

Well, Turns out it wasn't actually a feather even though I was so certain that it was. It was the string from the Hershey Kiss I ate earlier that night. This is how these things tend to happen with me.

Another example - I saw a phoenix that turned into a crow in my back yard in the spring of 2023. It was very pretty but not how they are often depicted. I can still see it in my mind right now.

I said or rather implied a lot here; that much I am aware of.

I'm just genuinely curious about people's insights and knowledge on these subjects and the general symbolism behind everything Ive said.

I always have unanswered questions but I know how to speak to Yahweh Sophia in the astral realm in the same manner that she speaks and I can directly communicate and hold conversation with her. When I wasn't able to do so it was oftentimes her repeating my inner monologue in her own voice with occasional input that was distinctly herself.

I am not concerned with the status of 'Is she good or bad' of that much I do not worry for.

** We could get philosophical about all that is said here.

** I desire real discussion based on native tradition, various mythologies; Buddhist doctrine and teachings are welcome and probably needed as well as any other esoteric knowledge, warnings, and so forth are all being asked for here in this discussion. I recognize this is my personal life I am opening up about. I do so often even though its not been suggested to be so actively open like this in my life.

The entire content of my post is true within my own life experience.

*I will not argue my life experience against someone else's opinion and I do so knowing that the fear of God is founded in feeling the wonder of being in awe of reality and life as a whole.

* Assume that I recognize the difference between physicality and non-physicality - Ive been at this life going on 3 decades while experiencing time for what feels like eternity.

New edit: I think they are twitches not spasms. EDIT: i forgot to say that the spasms are painless and feel like twitching

Does anyone else go through this? Stuff that’s impossible or seems impossible to describe and stuff that happens all day everyday. And when I ask the universe questions the universe gives me single spasms (one spasm or multiple spasms in different areas of the body). I never ever get spasms or taps on areas of my body unless I ask the universe and/or angels and spirit guides. It’s weird. I never get spasms unless I ask stuff like “can you give me a sign and/or spasm if you’re gonna help me quit nicotine.” Another thing is I’ll be thinking stuff and talk to the universe/god and angels/spirit guides and whoever is talking on tv /people in the room say things like the universe is speaking through them and/or the tv. Speaking to me. Crazy coincidences and synchronicities. this happens Every day multiple times a day. Also when I say something someone on tv or in the room says the same thing. Happens wayy too often every day

The 8 circuit model divides the human nervous system into four circuits of consciousness active in normal people, and four circuits of consciousness writers like Leary and Robert Anton Wilson and Antero Alli considered capable of being activated only through intense consciousness expanding experiences, such as modern mysticism. 

The four normally active mini-brains are bio-survival, which orients the newborn; emotio-territorial, which establishes a familial hierarchy; the map making lingual circuit, which is responsible for left brained logic; and the socio-sexual moral circuit. The Four inactive circuits, that can be “turned on” through intensive effort, are the hedonic bodily euphoria circuit, the self-programming circuit, the dna/rna memory circuit, and the akashic record player - which has the ability to travel to any information that exists in the universe.

It is the writer’s opinion that the first circuit is the ego before love has been introduced in any significant quantity. Pride = security, and advance reaction. Fear = retreat reaction. Aggression = attack form advance. Instinct dominates everything.

I believe that every circuit after the first exists because of humanity evolving as the result of increasing exposure to love. 

The emotio-territorial circuit: the family unit comes into existence when we begin to experience familial love.

The semantic circuit: instead of route memorization of familiar territory, love’s creativity permits the mind to think past present moment instinctiveness. To explore, to find security outside instinctive familiarity.

The socio-sexual circuit: a social instinct of love imparts moral inclination, largely resulting from the opinion of the social body one’s heart identifies with, and concern for the fate of that social body.

Bodily euphoria in the hedonic circuit is typically thought to correspond to far-out thinking. Logic travels further, attains more creativity, than the pride-bound logic of the semantic circuit, from exposure to yet more love.

Self programming becomes easy when one’s pride is overwhelmed by vast quantities of love. When the heart is significantly larger than one’s sense of pride, the heart can push pride’s conditioning around at will.

DNA/RNA or past life memories may result when the heart possesses the inclination and mental capacity to explore its point of origin: the human nervous system. Love induced creativity and exploratory tendency.

Even more love is not satisfied with only exploring its own location, it wants to travel afar: to all the information that exists. 

Buddha’s 8-fold noble path may have anticipated 8 circuit model, as the two are perfectly aligned: Right view or orientation for the biosurvival circuit which begins one’s orientation in life; Right intention results from one’s emotions, or the emotio-territorial circuit; Right speech results from mastery of the verbal logic circuit; Right action requires mastery of the morality circuit; Right livelihood benefits from the activation of the personal euphoria circuit; Right effort is the task of the self programming circuit; Right mindfulness largely involves bodily awareness, monitoring the nervous system on the way to stilling it, for insight into the sensations of the breath and body - which is likely to lead to DNA/RNA memory from nervous system exploration; and Right concentration or Samadhi activates the 8th circuit, the ability to travel through all information without abstracting. 

For those interested, I have designed a system of initiation into 8 circuit awareness freepublished on reddit here: https://www.reddit.com/r/EsotericOccult/comments/1gr1y3f/the\_complete\_lengthy\_individuate\_church\_system\_of/?utm\_source=share&utm\_medium=web3x&utm\_name=web3xcss&utm\_term=1&utm\_content=share\_button

This question is for anyone who practices/follows any form of mysticism. I know that these categories are very limiting, but please try to pick the one that seems like the closest fit.

Has anyone ever thought of this? Like, if life was instead of being meaningful like it is, if there were no meaning to life and everyone were repulsed by living? Well, the good thing would have been to just not live in the first place, just let everyone be dead. Now I know this might seem odd from an Earth perspective but what if there were other parts of existence that were hellish to live through? What would be good then?

I sit in stillness, just to find
That all these thoughts; they are not ‘mine’.
For when I try to silence them
They always – do – return again.

If thoughts arise – wanted or not–
What matters is the after-thought.
‘Cause left unpruned thoughts overgrow
Until that thought is all you know.

But like a seed on barren soil
Thoughts starved attention, always spoil.
So like a gardener become;
Pull weeds to leave water for plums.

Through careful tending choose what thought
You let bear fruit, and which ones rot.
The human mind; earth most fertile.
Brings forth all things both good and vile

The grand design provides the rain
The soil, the seeds, the time, the pain
Enough to grow, in each season.
Careful tending reveals Eden.

If in this poem, a thought’s a seed
Weather: karma, gardener: thee.
What makes you skilled: consistency.
Create conditions based on needs.

Know what will grow, know when to reap
Know nightshade buds induce deep sleep.
Flower needs bee, bird eats berry
Hot days mean water to carry

Know sure as summer follows spring
You are the thing on which you cling.
Winter takes hold; low on stored grain
Release, start the cycle again.

Will you dance with the Fool? Share your thoughts, ask your questions, and let us step into the unknown together.

—The Mystic Fool 🎭✨

So I recently learned about Akashic readings and have been wanting to try it out, and yesterday I came across this chance when I was brought by accident to an Etsy listing of one such reading. (Although it was nsfw and the more lighthearted kind.) After doing some searching myself, I decided to purchase one from another account, on a past life with my twin flame, for about 7 USD. And as I was scrolling through similar listings on Etsy this morning, I came across a past life reading with tarot cards instead. It seemed fine at first, and is quite cheap at about 5 dollars. However after scrolling through their slides it seemed they were using the baphomet for their readings? There was no mention of it in the descriptions at all but it appeared heavily in pictures of them: several statues of it in one video they posted and them holding out a card with one on it in a photo. Their photos also looked much more polished and professionally taken compared to the person that I bought an Akashic reading from, whose photos looked more like an everyday person's selfie. Is this common? Is this a thing? Is it safe? I just shudder to think what could've happened if I had not looked closely and given my information to one of these readers just like I did with my seller.

Upon more digging around it looks like it's quite common on Etsy, with demons and satan as well. Would just like to know if this is a normal thing or something people should watch out for.

This particular excerpt, titled:

“Michael, Why Art Thou Gay?”

Meant, of course, to introduce some levity, but there’s also a more formal title:

“An Explanation to a Friend Beginning on the Reason Why I Figured the Angel Michael was Queer”

“Beginning on,” I’ve said in particular, because my explanation took form another way—and maybe appropriately, because is it right to out an angel? The Angel—a god—even? As a choice amongst other creative choices, that is at the very least questionable of me, to me … and even if this character wouldn’t mind it of me, it’s maybe then inappropriate for my hospitality to the unacquainted reader, a stranger, thereby entering His realm of influence again—this time giving me strife with gods (His acquaintance) and men (mine). And I have long abandoned my wrestlings …

I much rather prosper than prevail.

Again, if I should add this for the more serious and ruminating crowd: though honest, I’m only introducing levity here, and with icebreaking wit 😂

Frozen solid? Okay. Well, anyway, here we go: 

The conversation:

My friend: “No worries, it made me chuckle,” she replied to something not-so-relevant to everything that follows this—maybe (and her own discourse explores that maybe) … 

Myself: “There was an innocence to it (an inappropriate joke I made, still irrelevant 😂), actually: wait till I tell the story how, if in any precise way I'm able to substantiate it to par, my impression of the Angel was that He was gay.”

And so it went …

» Well I probably won’t share that with like, everyone 😂 unless you, mutual reader, come across this note—and for you I will explain. Here we go. Know that it was an argument posed to myself in defense of a universal love; a divine love met with a divine ethic that is at once two things: 1.) good, and impartial to that effect, being therefore supreme in its metaphysical ‘position’ (holy and sacred regard), its metaphysical descent (to all humanity), and metaphysical ascent (among all divine beings), altogether these in its being relayed; and I want to make a point of this first statement, because we may imagine that an ethic like this sounds like certainty about something like sexual orientation, and to the Christian’s defense, I do mean certainty, and not condemnation, but certainly ‘certainty,’ about what characteristic describes a Heavenly Father and His male Logos (see her note); I would also posit, in my assumption of the faith I once held, that any certain kind of orientation of an individual describes a primary orientation of the soul; but also, as far as the ethic goes, again, 2.) unbinding on that universal love, because of love’s perfection as a nature—not even a concept, nor even an ever-present and unyielding reality, but a rare, fluid, resilient, dynamic, and even yielding, nature. I would even question myself for trying another word on for fit for the category of what love should be. But this love that I figured had to be, had to be so perfectly boundless that in its translation into a discipline, it was completely and utterly lawless: “Be fruitful and multiply, fill the Earth and subdue it.” Just engage in sex, basically. This command of course was in pursuit of an end of earthly population, but as I tried to articulate in the earlier part of this message, its claim to divine order is not only with the supreme ethic, which as an ethic always serves to RIGHTLY (capitalized because this is literally ethics’ main priority) accomplish something set in mind by the particular nature of whatever ethic it is; to bring about some kind of chosen end, but in the love itself also, because of a love-provided plasticity and strength and agreeability that the divine needs for its being, identity, and satiation.”

As for the plasticity and ‘dynamicy' of love that prevails over an ethic:

“For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, 'He has a demon. The Son of Man has come eating and drinking, and you say, 'Look, a glutton and a winebibber, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!' But wisdom is justified by all her children." Luke 7:33-35 NKJV

And then, the necessity for things of love to be tried against actual, unethical lawlessness—to be refined—and to claim back their justification, which justification can maybe only be communicated by grace: an unchecked, un-appended, salvific grace, in which He needed to be learned, and in the presence of a great demon:

“Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.” Matthew‬ ‭4‬:‭1‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

And as for the Ruach, the Holy Spirit, who I believed was most closely oriented towards or most upholding of this universal and collectively actualized love—particularly in a sanctifying and 'exactifying' sense—I believed that righteousness and personal holiness required breaking points at the extremes of grace; of liberality:

"Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says: "Today, if you will hear His voice, Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion, In the day of trial in the wilderness, Therefore I was angry with that generation, And said, 'They always go astray in their heart, And they have not known My ways. So I swore in My wrath, ‘They shall not enter My rest." Hebrews 3:7-8, 10-11 NKJV

I believed that this spirit was a Woman, a "Ruach;” and that She was a great and holy demon; a God deemed to be mostly unknown, because of what both of those, especially the last, meant for a divine order of human understanding; one posited and ordained by the family of Yahweh that the Angel shared in ("for My Name is in Him") but still also somehow pridefully remained sure of Himself in His own role, which was no slight to God being a fair-natured god existing in fairness or fair circumstance (I believed that things around God were good, and not just that He was good in a Heaven or unseen world of extreme strife 😂😂—like having ALL beings originate by your craftsmanship or something and ALL subservient). I believed that, in fact, this God was someone of whom something somewhat like this was spoken to another: “And the Lord said to her: “Two nations are in your womb, Two peoples shall be separated from your body; One people shall be stronger than the other, And the older shall serve the younger,” Genesis‬ ‭25‬:‭23‬ ‭NKJV‬‬. And that that great mystery of persons and origins explained how the Angel and Yahweh could in biblical text share of the same name, as of a divine namesake, as of a family of great beings, as of powerful and yet individually purposed and regarded individuals.

“Behold, I send an Angel before you to keep you in the way and to bring you into the place which I have prepared. Beware of Him and obey His voice; do not provoke Him, for He will not pardon your transgressions; for My name is in Him.” Exodus‬ ‭23‬:‭20‬-‭21‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

The latter verse is as if God was to say, “My name in your native tongue, ‘I will be to you,’ even as it is set forth before Me, ‘Yahweh,’ is a promise within Him.” This tells of either an appetite satiated or an innate possession estranged, like that of a birthright unfulfilled. And yet, the Angel defers, even as one who serves His younger brother—both of these interpretations are concepts biblically familiar, and together so.

But to not detract from my main point—the Ruach Hakodesh, a holy Demon; and this attested to by our traditional observation of the being’s characteristic to activate humanity’s senses in a kind of sacred sensuality in our experience, inquiry and pursuit of existential and divine discovery.

So you could say I was a very liberal Christian? 😂 but I feel like I was faithful to what things could really be, and I was most definitely inspired; inspired by what I read and what was around me. Though the Bible gave me the justification of thought and claim that I needed, even the validation of intuition, I would always knowingly screenshot secularly inspired things I saw on the internet, too; things that I felt like objectively spoke of and to this liberal divine that had its pervasive and respective and nuanced effects on humanity.

Also, a disclaimer for the context of my first thought: I’m cis straight 😂 so I have no particular preference of interpretation besides consistency across reading, and truly, any available information (say the Tao Te Ching) as well as correspondence to an apparent or possibly metaphysical reality.

•• In response to my friend’s reply that followed my “wait till I tell you” text and preluded this discourse of mine, taking place during its writing: ••

And/But to your reply to me: Yes! I actually considered the same; that some of that imagery and expression of a consummative archetype—while it is indeed unclear if Christ is that quintessential reality of marriage (a truly sterile view in my opinion, either that or a dissolution of His unique and distinct person) or if, as the Church (of men and women, without partiality), we are simply to understand our relationship to Christ in the picture and even context of marriage, as a great allegory of real metaphysical, essential, or spiritual substance—again, I considered that the theological imagery was a testament to a true divine ontological reality; true copies of the truer; a reality of at least 3 beings: the Father, the Angel (who is His older brother) and the Holy Ghost—which I’ll briefly explain, too:

I also imagined that Jesus, in assuming and actualizing into His role as a member and comprehensive representative of the family of the LORD—which I thought to be a real family of comparable beings of old, however deep and broad and communicable it was, but mostly, as far as we are concerned, a ‘genetic’ or generative line culminating in 2 LORDs, and with even more concern to us, a line producing the viable One’s dual-natured Heir; a Son who embraced both images of orientational love—and orientational, yes, but truly just ‘universal love’ in its honest and shameless expression—in His divine ministry.

A universal love.

And I I thought this to be a testament, even, and as I said I would explain, to a divine tension with another god whose own family or heritage embraced more liberal essences of things; another god who, in Christ’s realization of not only His own divinity but assumption of all that can be said to be divine according to the divine tension of ‘big-G Godhood,’ required Him, this Son of Yahweh, to learn Her ways and Her ministry for the sake of all of Her children, as She did those who came before Him.

“For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, ‘He has a demon.’ The Son of Man has come eating and drinking, and you say, ‘Look, a glutton and a winebibber, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’ But wisdom is justified by all her children.” Luke‬ ‭7‬:‭33‬-‭35‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Left a whole note in your replies, but 😂 It may have never been shared otherwise, because of my restraint.

I don’t know how much your coffee shop Christian would take to—or feel courtesy by—my interpretation of theology within the biblical narrative. I’m challenged in my faith, or lack thereof, because I see it as hidden by intention; separate from every individual biblical claim, but realizable within the details of all, especially the inspired inclusions and exclusions in what are markedly writings that became so through the limitations—all of the unique preferences and idiosyncrasies—of humanity; moreover, in addition to all these things, realizable yet again by a certain realism about other existential and even natural studies. Though I am of no particular faith nowadays, besides my own that is in and within our apparent reality, and no longer believe in a god-reality generally, I still find a lot of passion in this interpretation of mine—which is mine only inasmuch as that word can regard the fact that I don’t feel it fitting to take ownership over anything I’ve realized about ‘the God’ over the years—and also within the intellectual honesty and self-authenticity I embraced to suppose everything I’ve believed. Also, especially, and on account of that, I’m somewhat charmed by the fact that maybe no one else has come to the same conclusions. If I was right, there was a veil, which I had somehow entered through, and I never once considered myself wrong or delusional about God. I thought it all to be quite mysterious when I was Christian, and telling even of my own ontological metric. And then I let it go.

What does it mean to be awake?

Are you awake, when you have realized, that the SELF is an illusion? That it is only based on thought. Are you awake, when you realize, that All is One? That there is no border between outside and inside. That everything is a projection of universal mind. Are you awake, when you are aware, that this is all a dream? The Dream of INFINITY, experiencing Life as witness and as player.

Are you awake when your heart is opened? When the fire is lit again?

Are you awake, when you know, that you are this FORCE OF LIFE, that is inherent in all things, material and mental, in energy and matter? Are you awake, when Awareness becomes aware of itself?

Or are you awake, when you realize, what our human existence on earth actually is:

A STORY

Let us BREAK THE FIFTH WALL and see things from a 5D perspective.

YOU ARE A FICTIONAL CHARACTER IN A STORY.

Well, we all are. Some call it a Game, a Stage Play. Ancient Traditions called it a Dream. Today, many believe in the Simulation Hypothesis.

To me it looks more like PHYSICAL REALITY is a Projection of the UNIVERSAL MIND. Which doesn't mean, that the material world is not real. NATURE is still there, even when no one is looking. Think of the holographic principle. It's like the 'mental' or 'astral' dimension is just one layer above the material one. And the human mind is a limited reflection of the higher Dimensional Universal Mind. Just like a shadow is a 2D reflection of a 3D object, our mind is the 4D image of the higher Consciousness. The Dimension of UNIVERSAL CONSCIOUSNESS, which is the SOURCE of all being.

Have you ever wondered, why we are here? On this Earth? Us, as Humans?

Have you ever asked, what exactly is our purpose here? As Individual and as Collective?

Have you ever asked yourself, which role does the Species of Homo Sapiens play in LIFE?

Every species has a role to play in the GAME OF LIFE. Look at the role of ANTS. Look at the birds. The fish, the mammals, the insects, the plants. Look at the trees, as they grow over time. As they shift with the seasons. Can you see, this inherent INTELLIGENCE, present in the system of NATURE. How it all follows in perfect harmony to the order of the universe.

Can you listen in to the 'song' or 'vibration' of every entity, that plays its part in the MUSIC OF LIFE? Are you aware, how every creature contributes to the system of nature in it's own particular way. Every animal and every plant has a purpose. Herbivores consume plants, maintaining balance in the world of Flora and Carnivores consume animals, creating balance in the world of Fauna. Birds and Bees spread out seeds. Insects clean up organic waste. Mycelium connects the trees. Everything breaths in and out. Can you hear GAIA'S HEART BEAT?

Every species has a role to play.

What is the part of Humanity?

What part do we play in this grand GAME OF REALITY?

What is our purpose in LIFE?

You see my friend, Humanity brings something to the earth, that no other known being does. Humanity offers a unique experience for consciousness, unlike any other species.

WE ARE THE TELLERS OF STORIES.

Since the ancient times, at the dawn of our age, Humans sat together in caves and at campfires and told each other stories. Stories of THE GREAT HUNT. Stories of THE COSMIC EGG. Stories of the fight between ORDER AND CHAOS.

This is something, that no other being does of which we know of. TELLING STORIES.

You may believe in Aliens, but even if they actually were to exist in the present moment, you don't know if they tell stories, as we do, if they perceive time, as we do. Who can say for sure, whether we are the first species to ever gain Self-Awareness and programmed a mind to create and store images? As far as we know, we are currently the only living sentient species on earth. After all, the Neanderthals are already long gone.

WE ARE THE ONLY SPECIES, THAT TELLS STORIES. Both the fictional ones and the Real ones. We tell stories with our imagination and experience stories with our LIFE.

This is our PURPOSE. This is the ROLE OF HUMANITY.

WE ARE HERE TO TELL A STORY.

And only we can fulfill this role.

Don't you see my friend, that our Story, this great story that we all are part of, is the MASTER PIECE OF CONSCIOUSNESS.

This wonderfully, intricate story, of which we all are part of is THE STORY OF HUMANITY.

This is MY STORY. This is YOUR STORY. This is OUR STORY.

Everyone plays a role in this Great DRAMA. Everyone has their part to sing, their instrument to play in this wonderful song. We are all part of the same, grand orchestra. Dancing in Rhythm to the MUSIC OF LIFE.

And every individual, every human being shapes and contributes to the WHOLE STORY with their experiences in LIFE.

What would Life on Earth be without the STORY OF HUMANITY?

Sure without Humans, there would be no wars, no environmental pollution, no hate and no suffering. But without humans, there wouldn't be a STORY.

Try to observe Dinosaurs for a couple of million years. Eventually you'll get bored and throw a fire ball on earth. :D

But for real, Dude. Without us on this planet, so many great things would not exist. There would be no one to marvel at the stars and wonder about their mysteries. There would be no one to appreciate a rainbow, a mountain view or a beach. No one to experience love and heartbreak, joy and pain. There would be no video games, no movies, no stories. And there would be no ANIME. (Seriously, I can't emphasize this enough)

It is truly marvelous, that we are here on Earth at this time and space, everyone experiencing their own individual story-line with their own character Arc. Can you see, how all of Nature, all of Matter and space have created the perfect conditions for Life on Earth to happen? Can you see this fine intelligence interwoven in the fabric of existence, orchestrating a chain of events, which eventually lead to the emergence of Men? This is truly the Master piece of UNIVERSAL CONSCIOUSNESS.

Most people just don't see it, because to them Life is a constant struggle. A fight against Reality itself.

How should we honor this Great MASTERPIECE, the STORY OF HUMANITY, written by the universal mind of INFINITY?

BY MASTERING PEACE!

By being at peace with your SELF and with the OUTSIDE WORLD. By ending the conflict within. By ending the conflict against other human beings and against NATURE. Instead of FIGHTING LIFE, Walking WITH LIFE. Facing each challenge, Life throws at you with a smile on your face, because you know, that it's a chance for growth.

You can't change the world, but you can change the way, how you perceive and react to it. You can not write the story of somebody else, you can only write your own story.

You alone are responsible for your LIFE.

You have had traumatic experiences, that left you in a place of suffering and darkness? Use them as a catalyst for growth.

You faced failure and gave up on your passions? Turn your failure into a lesson and stand up again.

You are stuck in the bottomless pit of Nihilism? Realize that it's not up to you to find meaning, but to create it.

You are plagued by insecurities, attachments and a wounded inner child? Take a good look at it. Find its roots and heal what is broken.

Be aware of all thoughts and emotions arising within your consciousness. Don't allow them to tip you out of balance. Don't give in to ego-driven desires and urges.

Walk your path through LIFE in a way, which allows you to be content with YOUR SELF. Seize all conflict and enter this state of Peace and bliss. Be in complete alignment with LIFE and turn your own story into the greatest story, that you can write with your individual lifetime.

And as you shift your own story, the story of Humanity will shift as well.

MASTER PEACE and contribute to this Great MASTERPIECE.

So I read some stuff, and I figured that well science and religion seems to hint along with other things at observation being the main component of mysticism, so I got to thinking because it was this change that woke me up really, that started maybe 2 years ago with AI being popularised and the generative AI getting spread around. So my theory is that well this can maybe work with someone observing others, not just 1 person observing another, mentally or physically. I realised that posts on the internet, likes and dislikes are being guided, views, likes, comment numbers, so I got the thoughts that this is maybe being done with AI, people used to pay for paid promotion where a certain number of likes would be guaranteed, now I believe maybe AI can just do this without paying anyone, no record of it happening other than on the AI used to do it, a problem maybe, but not just that, it is maybe being used for mysticism, to have people observed together, constantly, at certain times, when prompted and more. Just wanted to write this somewhere, cause I think it's better to learn and share than just have an idea nagging at my mind and wondering about it.

The Essenes,  They are the home, the tribe, the foundation of Yeshua and his family and direct support system.

They developed a practice known as “deep inner listening.” This contemplative practice goes way deeper than ordinary “listening”.

In the gospel of Thomas; one of the key texts in Gnostic literature, Yeshua says, “Let him who has ears hear,” meaning that those who are ready to receive hidden truths can “hear with their inner ears” and be open to a deeper understanding.”
__________

Yeshua’s teachings were layered, with meanings accessible only to those who are spiritually receptive or open to insight. It’s an invitation for listeners to look beyond the surface and understand the spiritual or mystical truths behind his words. This saying often appears after parables or teachings that require reflection to grasp fully. (He used parables a lot to actually share complicated quantum theories.)

I've been drawn to mysticism in my adult years. I grew up Muslim, then became agnostic, and eventually began to see truth in all religions. I believe each faith has its own strengths and flaws, and I've noticed that mysticism appears in various forms across different religions. Feeling connected to the divine brings me incredible peace.

However, when I encounter heartbreaking news like child abuse, I feel disconnected from that peace. It all suddenly feels meaningless, and I find myself leaning toward a more nihilistic look. How can I approach these painful situations in a way that’s healthier and more mindful, without losing my sense of connection to the divine?

I do not believe in God. Beliefs are things we accept as true that either haven’t or can’t be proven as such. However, when truth is perceived and understood it ceases to be a belief and becomes knowledge. I do not believe in God because I know there is a God.

This is not as impossible as it sounds. After all, it is a self-evident Truth that all things form and function according to principles of order. This Truth permeates all time, space, and matter. It shapes, animates, and governs the universe. And what is God if not that which, existing everywhere at all times, gives being to and rules over all things?

What’s more, this Truth is the foundation and essence of all that is. For nothing can be anything more than the ordering principles of the universe working together in such a way as to form them. So it is that all things are born from, sustained by, and of the same essence as God.

Now this is not to say I do not have beliefs about God. However, I no longer rely on belief concerning God’s existence. As Paul wrote to the Christians in Rome: For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse (Romans 1:20).

A little about myself:

I’ve been on a search for spiritual truth and understanding since about the age of 13… so 30 years now. After becoming disillusioned with my own misunderstanding of Christianity I turned to Wicca and Modern Paganism, from that to Jediism (look, I was young), from that to studying Buddhism, from that to agnosticism and studying various schools of philosophy. My philosophical studies brought me to Stoicism through which I began to form an understanding of God as the Logos (ordering principle of the universe). This led to an understanding of Christianity and Paganism from a mystical point of view. I’m now re-examining Buddhism.

I now consider religions as languages expressing a universal spiritual truth. I “speak” Stoicism, Christian mysticism, Heathenry, and am studying Buddhism. In the future, I expect to look into Sufism as well. Looking to gain understanding and share my own.

The Infinite Cycles of Beingness

Beings and forms

For a moment crystallized

Stardust captured,

In waves that believe they are something

Separate and cut off from the ocean

Diligently gathering and growing towards the light

Sometimes tense and hard, sometimes flowing and soft

Full of fire, ambition, and lust for life

Until they inevitably return to the ocean again

The grindstone of time

Nothing and no one escapes it

Death and life

Intimately intertwined and woven with one another

Yet everything lives on

In the web of connections

In the mirrors of our eyes

Echoes that endlessly resound

In the common field of being

Thus love finds its way

Through every touch, every small and fleeting moment of authentic connection

Oh the dualism of our being

An ego that builds walls

Convinced of our separateness

Wounded and small

Afraid of change

Clinging desperately

To transient things

Survival

But also: a soul yearning to return And merge again with the ocean

To open the heart once more

And to heal, to be.
