# 583   —  OPERATE AN ORACLE SHRINE

“An oracle is a spirit considered to be a source of wise counsel or prophetic opinion, predictions of the future, inspired by the gods. Oracles were portals through which the gods spoke directly to man.

There are a few easy steps to opening your own oracle temple.

1) find a location. This could be a cave, a temple, a shrine, a mountain top or any other place that seems “holy”.

2) hire a priestess to intercede between you and the supplicant.

3) train the priestess to listen to you and interpret your thoughts perfectly so she can relay them without alteration. After all, you don’t want your wisdom and good advice to be ruined by a bad translator.

4) have the priestess burn some incense.

5) advertise in the “personals” columns or put 3 X 5 index cards on bulletin boards in Laundromats with the following announcement:

“I, _________, (your name) the “great god (your name)” will be making predictions and precognitions at the (oracle temple location) between the hours of (evenings and week-ends are best) for the low, introductory offering price of ( a sheep, a goat, a bowl of grain, a basket of fruit, etc.).”

Then, sit back and get ready to hand out free advice to the teaming throngs.

Of course, if you can do some magic tricks or heal a few crippled people, this will help get your ratings up.  The good buzz about you will spread quickly.

Soon your name and your temple will be revered throughout the realm for thousands of years to come, or until it is outlawed and destroyed by a bunch of greedy, holier-than-thou priests.”

ELECTRICITY ~ DEATH OR DELIVERANCE

Republished by Blog Post Promoter

HUMAN BEINGS HAVE INHABITED EARTH FOR AT LEAST 10,000 YEARS ~ WITHOUT ELECTRICITY: UNTIL NOW, FIRE WAS THE ONLY COMMON SOURCE OF POWER. THANKS TO NIKOLA TESLA, BY THE 192OS, HALF OF AMERICAN HOUSES HAD ELECTRICAL POWER.
BEFORE ELECTRICITY THERE WERE NO ELECTRONIC OR ELECTRO-MECHANICAL DEVICES ON EARTH.
ONLY 100 YEARS LATER (the blink of an eye, historically) THE ENTIRE PLANET AND HUMAN CIVILIZATION HAS BEEN TOTALLY TRANSFORMED. FOR THE FIRST TIME IN HISTORY THE ABILITY TO CONTROL, OR DESTROY, EVERY LIFE FORM ON EARTH IS POSSIBLE WITH DEVICES POWERED BY ELECTRICITY, INCLUDING THE ATOMIC BOMB, SATELLITES, TELEVISION, THE INTERNET OR ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE COMPUTERS and SURVEILLANCE DEVICES.
ELECTRICITY MAY BE THE ULTIMATE FRIEND OF LIFE, USED WITH BENEVOLENCE, OR THE DEADLIEST ENEMY IN THE HANDS OF PSYCHOPATHS.
“YOU MAY LIVE TO SEE MAN-MADE HORRORS BEYOND YOUR COMPREHENSION.”
~ Nikola Tesla, (Madison Square Garden, 1898)

EMPATHY

Republished by Blog Post Promoter

Empathy-definitionThe entire history of humans on Earth is an unending cycle of birth within a biological body, a short lifetime of pain, intermittent pleasure, chaos, death and rebirth. So far as I know there has been few, if any, how have escaped this cycle. Many spiritual teachers and pretenders have claimed to have discovered “the way” to spiritual emancipation from this cycle. Religion organizations uniformly claim that their “group” are the “only ones” who know “the way”.

However, every Is-Be is completely unique.  (Is-Be = Immortal Spiritual Being, or Sentient Being) No two are the same.  Each one has a 1,000 small variables which identify them uniquely, like a thumbprint.

The “Golden Rule” is a philosophy and practice of kindness toward others and toward ourselves.  It is empathy…. being able and willing to “be” another being, to see through their eyes, to feel the feelings they experience.  This is understanding.  Every great guru describes a similar idea.

There is not enough pleasure or kindness on Earth to counter-balance all of the psychotic beings in this universe who play “duality games” of good / evil.  Such beings do not experience ANY empathy.  They cannot perceive the energy frequency of another Is-Be, except to control it or destroy it!empati

Empathy is the opposite of duality.  Empathy is Oneness.  It is Being and experiencing AS All.  Empathy is a state of being in which there is no duality games, because there is no opponent, no enemy.  Only Being.  Everyone plays together and accomplish a common goal or purpose that is mutually beneficial to all. Everyone “wins”.

I do not think there is any group of Is-Bes in the physical universe that can play a game and also be truly empathetic.  There is no benevolent leader or ruler or army or organization in this universe.  This universe is made of opposites:  positive / negative energy.  If you remove one side or the other the entire universe will collapse and there is no longer a game to play or a universe to play it in!

Apparently, there is not proven “therapy” or “technique” that can be applied to a group of Is-Bes to trap them, or to free them of mental or spiritual enslavement. However, there may be a way “out” of imprisonment for an individual from the chaos and psychotic duality of the “Game of Earth”.  Empathy. Be all, and every, and each, as yourself.

GIRL IN THE VERMEER PAINTINGS

This picture is a modern spoof on the world famous painting by the 16th century Dutch artist Johannes Vermeer.   The girl in the legendary painting (as well as in several other of his paintings) is his second daughter, Elizabeth!  Vermeer never hired models — he painted only family and friends.  It doesn’t take a cosmetic surgeon to compare the features of the women in the majority of his paintings to observe that the same women are being painted in their own home, again and again in different poses, settings, lighting and clothing.  Most of his paintings feature his wife, Catharina, who was not only his constant accomplice in creating a family, she was his foremost ally in his life as an artist!

The painting named (by others), “Girl with a pearl earring“, as well as “The girl with a red hat”, and “The girl with a flute”, and others, are all of his second daughter, Elizabeth, who was a teenager when they were painted.  He used her as the model for a series of very small “tronie” or facial portraits, which were popular at the time.

These miniature “head shots” were especially well suited to the use of the camera obscura to create what we know now to have a photographic quality, rendering the light and perspective differently than the unaided lens of the human eye perceives it.

To learn all of the details about the women who posed for Johannes Vermeer in all of his famous paintings, read the book VERMEER: PORTRAITS OF A LIFETIME, by Lawrence R. Spencer.
