FOOLS WHO KNOW NOT

Republished by Blog Post Promoter

I use following lines from the Rigveda as the introduction to nearly every book I write:

“We ask,as Fools who know not Our Own Spirit: Where are the hidden traces left by The Gods?”

— Rigveda, Book I, Stanza 164, Lines 5 a & b

I believe this states the current condition of human beings, as immortal spiritual beings:

We were gods who once created all that we perceive.

This universe started as a game to remedy the eternal affliction of gods: Boredom.

The curse of Immortality is the ability to know all, see all and be all of our own Creations.  Every move on the chess board is ours, unopposed.  Boredom is the definition of Hell.  The remedy is the ‘pretend’ not to know every detail, to see every outcome and to a powerful creator of space, energy and things.  Pretence is also a definition of Hell.  A two-sided coin: Know and Know Not.

Pretending Not to Be All Things, to Be All Beings, to Be all of Creation is a game you can lose. This is the origin of our isolation from each other, from other life forms throughout the universe, from spirits, from ourselves, from other times, places, realities, and universes.

Surprise! You’re in pain….   Surprise! You’re dead….  Surprise! You’re stuck in a fragile body made of flesh on the outer rim of a forgotten galaxy, pretending to be having a ‘life’.

Our choice to forget that we are the ‘gods’ relieves us from our deeds and misdeeds, theoretically, but not in fact.

It’s easier to blame some other “deity” for the cruel residue of our own crimes and creations than to undo what we’ve done.

Every crime committed against us, we have committed against others in some long-forgotten yesterday.

Memory and responsibility (not blame or regret) may set us free from the self-made misery of life in this universe.

To Know or Know Not are choices we can make to navigate through the extreme regions of Hell: Boredom and Pretence.

DISAGREE

DISAGREE

Agreement can be a form of hypnosis.  Conversely, anyone who disagrees with being hypnotized cannot be hypnotized.  Human beings have been very heavily and repeatedly indoctrinated and coerced into believing that they ARE A BODY.  Every priest of every organized religion in the history of humankind has preached this message:  “YOU ARE A BODY”.   Every medical doctor, every banker, every politician, every artist, every writer and screen play writer in the history of Western Civilization has reinforced the false idea that you ARE A BODY.

When was the last time you read a book or saw a film about a DISEMBODIED SPIRITUAL BEING?  Can you remember ANY?   The simple fact is that YOU, as yourself, are a Spiritual Being.  You are NOT a body.  Anyone who is trying to convince you otherwise is attempting to trap and enslave YOU inside a fragile chunk of flesh so you can be controlled and enslaved.   One simple way you can begin to recover your Spiritual Freedom is to simply DISAGREE with the lies that “You Are a Body”.

BE FREE!  DISAGREE!!

THE GODS

Zeus

– AN INVOCATION OF THE GODS –

Where upon Olympus stand the gods who once ruled over Man?  Fallen from the Lofty Land to dwell on Earth as mortal men?

Who remembers how to fly as freeborn spirits through the sky? What powers can be exercised while trapped within a mortal guise?

The gods once caused themselves to bring The Breath of Life itself to being.  Their very thoughts made every thing: the sea, a sigh, the sky, the spring!

PAN GOD OF THE WOODSThe Gods of Old, like you & me, created everything we see. Have they lost causality?  Abandoned their abilities?

Where are the gods of history?  What happened to their memory? If we are them and they are we, who will cause our destiny?

Merchant Lords now rule the fold. They want us all to fit their mold: “Be a Man!  Do as you’re told!  The only god there is, is gold!”

How did we ever sink so low, pretending we don’t really know that we’re the spark that makes life grow, like springtime flowers through the snow?

Infinity is passing by, but time is really just a lie. Are we immortal, you and I?  A question states its own reply…

We never really know we’re blind until we search around to find a simple way to leave behind the suffering that is Mankind.

Can godly powers be regained, like oceans fall to Earth as rain? Can we go back from whence we came, to greater heights and bigger games?

Lead us homeward once again, to realms beyond the dreams of men. We’ve gone astray, we’ve lost our ken*.  We need your help, Immortal Friends!

— Lawrence R. Spencer, from Pan-God of The Woods
