THE SOLUTION TO IMMORTALITY

Republished by Blog Post Promoter

(Painting:  Allegoria della vita umana – Guido Cafnacci – 1601)

“When you choose to Be Nothing you regain control of Existence.  Your Power, your Ability, your Wisdom, your Freedom and your Immortality are yours to relinquish or embrace.  Do you desire Immortality?  Do you desire to break the cycle of birth, life, pain, death, rebirth and endless,  unwinnable games in the physical universe?

You must decide to Be Nothing. Be responsible for your own Boredom. Create Your Own Universe. Disagree with Agreement. Admire Your Self. Create and find Joy in your games, your dreams, your illusions. Can you hover over a mountaintop for ten thousand years?  Can you pretend, like a child, that your best friend is a ghost?  Can your best friend be You?

The solution to Mortality is Being You: The Immortal Creator.”

— Excerpt from  the new book by Lawrence R. Spencer: MORTALITY MECHANICS’ MANUAL  (Soon to be released as an Audiobook on Audible.com)

Republished by Blog Post Promoter

suicide is painlessAs people grow older conditions of life often become increasingly painful.  We must decide for ourselves when the game is over, and consider our options. The lyrics to this song repeat the timeless question: to be, or not to be? Who should answer the question:  You or the body you animate?

 Lyrics to the song “Suicide is Painless” by Mike Altman
is the theme song for both the movie and TV series M*A*S*H.  Mike Altman is the son of the original film’s director, Robert Altman, and was 14 years old when he wrote the song’s lyrics.

THE PRICIPLE OF GENDER

Republished by Blog Post Promoter

GENDER

  “This Principle embodies the truth that there is GENDER manifested in everything–the Masculine and Feminine Principles ever at work. This is true not only of the Physical Plane, but of the Mental and even the Spiritual Planes. On the Physical Plane, the Principle manifests as SEX, on the higher planes it takes higher forms, but the Principle is ever the same. No creation, physical, mental or spiritual, is possible without this Principle. An understanding of its laws will throw light on many a subject that has perplexed the minds of men. The Principle of Gender works ever in the direction of generation, regeneration, and creation. Everything, and every person, contains the two Elements or Principles, or this great Principle, within it, him or her. Every Male thing has the Female Element also; every Female contains also the Male Principle. If you would understand the philosophy of Mental and Spiritual Creation, Generation, and Re-generation, you must understand and study this Hermetic Principle. It contains the solution of many mysteries of Life. We caution you that this Principle has no reference to the many base, pernicious and degrading lustful theories, teachings and practices, which are taught under fanciful titles, and which are a prostitution of the great natural principle of Gender. Such base revivals of the ancient infamous forms of Phallicism tend to ruin mind, body and soul, and the Hermetic Philosophy has ever sounded the warning note against these degraded teachings which tend toward lust, licentiousness, and perversion of Nature’s principles. If you seek such teachings, you must go elsewhere for them–Hermeticism contains nothing for you along these lines. To the pure, all things are pure; to the base, all things are base.”
