IN LOVE, IN LOVE, IN LOVE, IN LOVE.

IMAGINE BEING A GOD…

IMAGINE BEING A GOD

Literature, art, dance music and other aesthetic forms of communication, are created solely and only about the life and death of a human being:  an immortal spiritual being inhabiting a body made of fragile flesh.

On Earth, the interest of spiritual beings is directed by artists toward bodies, bodies, bodies.  Bodies are born, endure a brief lifetime of pain, false ambition, despair and quiet desperation.  Humans gasp in short bursts of physical sensation.  They walk to the store, plodding step by tedious step.  They do not cross half a planet in the instant of a thought! Such Divine Flight and Freedom is the privilege of a god! Yet, All Sentient Spiritual Beings are Immortal.

What is a god?  An Immortal Spiritual Being.  This is not a notion of ‘THE GOD’, Creator of All Things in The Physical Universe.  No.  This is simply the reality that each one of us, as individual Immortal Souls, have infinite potential to cause and create and control our Own Personal Universe!

History has clearly demonstrated that anyone can Be Who They Decide To Be.  Realization of any Dream is as simple as being, doing and having who and what one decides To Be.

What prevents Immortal Spiritual Beings who animate and inhabit physical bodies from realizing the essential Freedom and Ability of an invisible, powerful, all-knowing, divinity;  a “no-thing” of unlimited age, creative potential and god-like ability to Be divine?

Priests who insist that only they can communicate with “god”, and, the “god” is out there somewhere.  And, foremost, writers who create the illusion that the ONLY GAME that can be played by any being, anywhere and anytime, are the games of The Body.  They use the most powerful tool of all: aesthetics!  Beautiful words, masterful pictures, magical sounds and symmetrical physical forms entice and entrap you.  The most precious, most desirable quality for a Spiritual Being is that Quality in the physical universe that is most similar to themselves:  Aesthetics!  Indeed, only a Spiritual Being can create beauty!  The source and essence of art and beauty IS that “no-thing” we call the Spirit.

How often have you read a book and seen a film that is dedicated to the life, loves, games, activities, dreams and aspirations of a disembodied Spiritual Being?  Ever?  Can you think of any?

Only YOU can create beauty.  Only YOU can create your personal universe.  Only YOU, as the god-like, immortal spiritual being that you are, can animate, inhabit, create and transcend the physical forms of flesh.  This ability begins with imagination…the Decision to BE!

You are NOT a tiny physical body, trapped on a distant planet, impotent, frail and pathetic dust.  You ARE the Eternal Potential Power of Creation!  A god.  Creator and Destroyer of Universes!

However, you have been sold out.  Sold into Eternal Slavery by every artist with pen and brush who used Aesthetics to tell you that you have NO IDENTITY unless you inhabit a body.  You and I should regard such treasonous fellow beings as Enemies of Our Immortal Selves!  They destroy your Personal Divinity with lies carried through art.  You must HAVE a Body.  Only the Body can have an identity.  Only the body can live, love, play, create and feel sensation.  These are lies.  In Truth, only an Immortal Spiritual Being can cause or create anything at all…including bodies, planets, stars, universes and beauty.

PRIME MOVER UNMOVED

UNMOVED-MOVER-UNMOVED

Unmoved moveror prime moveris a philosophical concept described by Aristotle as a primary cause or “mover” of all the motion in the universeAs is implicit in the name, the “unmoved mover” moves other things, but is not itself moved by any prior action. Aristotle describes the unmoved mover as being perfectly beautiful, indivisible, and contemplating only the perfect contemplation: itself contemplating.   Unmoved movers or prime mover are, themselves, immaterial substance, (separate and individual beings), having neither parts nor magnitude. As such, it would be physically impossible for them to move material objects of any size by pushing, pulling or collision. Because matter is, for Aristotle, a substratum in which a potential to change can be actualized, any and all potentiality must be actualized in a being that is eternal but it must not be still, because continuous activity is essential for all forms of life. This immaterial form of activity must be intellectual in nature and it cannot be contingent upon sensory perception if it is to remain uniform; therefore eternal substance must think only of thinking itself and exist outside the starry sphere, where even the notion of place is undefined for Aristotle. Their influence on lesser beings is purely the result of an “aspiration or desire”, and each aetheric celestial sphere emulates one of the unmoved movers, as best it can, by uniform circular motion. —  Wikipedia.org

DRUIDS

Republished by Blog Post Promoter

druides-recolte-du-guiI am listening to the audiobooks of a wonderfully insightful and entertaining series of 8 novels by Kevin Hearne about the last surviving Druid in the 21st century.  It’s called The Iron Druid“.  Although this immortal Druid inhabits a sexy 21 year old male body, he travels between realms of reality with his faithful Irish Wolfhound (Oberon), between whom telepathic communication is their common language.

I have never read anything previously about Druids (‘oak-seer”), or the races of red-haired Celts, or the The Tuath(a) Dé Danann, a supernatural race in Irish mythology who serve a characters in these novels, along with a pantheon of gods from several planes of existence including vampires, witches, demons, fairies, ghouls, werewolves and many more manifestations of spirit in the magical “supernatural world” of wizardry and ancient wisdom.

Here is a short article from http://www.timelessmyths.com/celtic/

f15e960327d7a198623e731c4bc25222“Most of what is know, about the ancient Celtic people in history, come from observances of classical Greek and Roman writers, as well as from archaeological evidences such as from the possessions of dead in burial sites and from shrines found throughout central and western Europe, as well as from the British Isles.

To Julius Caesar, the druids were secretive but learned group, who enjoyed special privileges among the Celtic population. They did not have to fight in wars and they were exempted from paying taxes. They acted as judges in disputes and they presided over those who commit act of crime, as well as setting penalties. They could travel any where without hindrance from any tribes.

Though, there are many benefits of becoming a druid, it is still not an easy life. It may take over 20 years to learn the philosophy, divination, poetry, healing, religious rites and magic. And all this without committing anything to writing. The druids, or any Gaul for that matter, were fully aware of writing down their knowledge, but chose not to do so, because they preferred to rely on memories. For the druids, their pupils were required to exercise their mind.

The Gauls and the druids were not illiterate. Because of the trades between the Gauls and the Greek city of Massilia (modern Marseille) in southern France, the Gauls had earlier used Greek letters, mainly for trade purposes. The druids had never used the Greek writing to record their knowledge and customs. After Roman conquest of Gaul and Britain, later the Celts had adopted Roman letters for mainly commercial purposes. There are some inscriptions found in sacred sites, such as in shrines and sanctuaries.

Caesar observed that the Gauls were very religious, and they always wait for the druids to perform the necessary rituals or sacrifices. The Celts didn’t build any temples to their gods. The druids practiced their worship in the open air, such as at sacred groves or near sacred lakes.

According to Caesar and other classical writers, the Gauls believed in the souls being immortal, where it passed on to another body after death. In another words, they believed in reincarnation or eschatology.”
