70 CANDLE KARMA

Republished by Blog Post Promoter

70 candle karmaI was inserted (as a Spiritual Being) into my current biological body on August 12, 1946, at the hospital in Albion, MI at 2:14 p.m..  So, as of today I have ridden the “Earth Ride” 70 times around the Sun. Another day, another Karmic Candle on the Cake of Life.

I have a vivid memory of viewing the green forests of central Michigan from about ten thousand feet above Earth seconds before “swooping down” into my “new body” 70 years ago.  This image is intensely real to me!  I have no slightest doubt that this was the moment at which I was “inserted” into the body I have inhabited during this lifetime with the name given to me by my parents: Lawrence Rodney Spencer.

After than moment the first “sentient” memory I have is of sitting in a high-chair being fed canned peaches by my mother at about the age of two years. I remember this moment as being the first time I asserted my personal opinion, and therefore, me identity.  I told my mother that the fruit she fed me were pears.  She insisted they were peaches.  I belligerently insisted that they were pears (knowing they were, in fact, peaches) in an effort to assert my “rightness”.  My mother was so upset by my argument that she began to cry in frustration. I was delighted to have created such a dramatic effect on my mother…on the one person who completely controlled me life. At that moment I knew that I was a unique individual. I was “me”!

During the intervening years since the birth of my body I have struggled to comprehend “who I really am”, a quest infinitely more painful than birth as it transcends the elements of time, space, energy, matter, and life itself.  I have always had a profound sense that “something isn’t right” about being stuck inside a biological body.  Indeed, I sensed that that being on the planet Earth was fundamentally wrong, and seriously fucked up!

When my body was young and physical fit (i.e. able to work all day and fuck all night) I was certain that I was, like most stupid human animals, invincible and physically immortal.  Now that my 70 year old body is crippled by arthritis and immobilized by a lifetime of cumulative work and sports related injuries I have become alarmingly aware of my personal and imminent physical mortality!

Moreover, as I have regained more awareness of my personal spiritual immortality, I have come to realize that I am NOT a biological entity, and that the planet Earth is not my “home”.  I am quite certain that the entire “physical universe” is nothing more than an illusory construct of the cumulative, agreed upon illusion created by the collective thoughts of all immortal beings who share the opinion that the physical universe is “reality”.  I have also become aware that this is nothing more or less than my “personal opinion” based on my unique and peculiar “point of view” within the context of what I consider to be my own, “personal reality”.  I am equally certain that my “reality” is only one of approximately 8 billion others on Earth.

During my current lifetime I usually held the opinion that any individual on Earth, as a spiritual being, was fundamentally transcendent, powerful and able to control their environment and their own, spiritual destiny.  After 70 years of observation, experience and evaluation I’ve discovered that this idea is bullshit.

Nicola Tesla, probably the most profound inventor, intellect and idealist in the history of Earth, summarized the human condition as follows:

“The human being is a self-propelled automaton entirely under the control of external influences. Willful and predetermined though they appear, his actions are governed not from within, but from without. He is like a float tossed about by the waves of a turbulent sea.”

I puzzled for many years about the “reasons why” for this statement until I discovered the subject of Vedic Astrology.  I discovered, to my alarm and dismay, that our entire spiritual and biological existence on Earth is predetermined by a mathematical matrix that combines physical planets and mathematical constructs called “constellations” into “programs” that determine our thoughts, behavior, perceptions, emotions and destiny.

The book Alien Interview reveals that the Vedic Hymns were brought to Earth in the Himalaya Mountains of Northern India about ten thousand years ago by an extraterrestrial invasion space force called The Domain.  Coincidentally, the highly precise spiritual and mathematical science of Vedic Astrology, i.e. the technology of understanding the machinery of the “prison planet matrix” of Earth is manifested and revealed.

When I consulted a Vedic astrologer about my personal “program”, as pre-programmed and revealed by the exact date, time and physical location of my body birth, I asked him the following question:

“Is between lives amnesia caused by the loss of a biological body, and all of the pre-programmed behavior connected to it?”

His answer:  “Yes”.

When a being enters into a new body a new “program” begins based on the exact day, time, physical location of the body birth.  Conversely,  the program associated with the dead body disappears with the dead body, along with all memories associated with it, and replaced by a new program.  Memories associated with the dead body and it’s programming are replaced in the attention of the being with the programs and physical demands of a new body in a new location in a new lifetime.

Hypothetically, a being could avoid all of this confusion, turmoil and amnesia simply by avoiding the assumption of a new baby body on Earth.  “Avoid The Light” that beckons the being into a new program of biological imprisonment on Earth.  This theory sounds simple.  However, I have not personally met a being who has successfully avoided reincarnation, or the influences of the Astrological Programming associated with the solar system of Earth.

Karmic Fate or self-determination?  The Alien Interview transcripts tell us that Is-Bes who are incarcerated in biological bodies on Earth no longer possess the spiritual volition to choose their own lives and destiny.  Until we raise ourselves above the state of “human being”, or some invasion force dismantles the Astrological Programming machinery, we’re stuck here for the Rest of Eternity.  I don’t know if the information in this book is true or not.  However, it is something I’m thinking about today, as I conclude 70 years of incarnation in my current body.

As I begin another trip around the Sun I am hopeful that we can find ways to make our lives more enjoyable during the next 70 years than they have been since we were transplanted to Earth from other times, planets or universes.

A FORM OF MEDITATION

Republished by Blog Post Promoter

Last year I read many books about Eastern philosophies and spiritual practices, including the Autobiography of a Yogi, written by the great spiritual teacher from India, Paramahansa Yogananda.  I do not practice Yoga, or meditation, per se,  nor do I ascribe to any organized spiritual methods or organizations.  I am following my own path of reading, communicating and seeking to remember Who I Really Am as an immortal spiritual entity.  I suppose I could call my form of meditation:   “looking, communicating, understanding and loving”.  I practice my “meditation” continually, at least to the degree that I am willing to discipline myself to attain awareness and ability above the extremely limited perceptions imposed by animating an aging biological body on Earth.

I do not “believe in god” or have a membership card in a group of followers.  However, I am inspired and emboldened by beings who know themselves as the source of life energy, of love, wisdom, and of creation of realities for themselves and of universes.  As part of my continuing journey I am reading a book and Blog by a fellow traveler, Pam Grout.  Here is a compilation video she recommended about Russell Brand.  His enthusiastic advocacy of wisdom, and egalitarian love, through self-realization reminds me very much of Yogananda.  This video recommended by Pam Grout in her Blog ( http://pamgrout.com/ )

Animism

Republished by Blog Post Promoter

Animism (from Latin anima, “breath, spirit, life”) is the observation that objects, places and creatures all possess a distinct spiritual essence. Potentially, animism perceives all things—animals, plants, rocks, rivers, weather systems, human handiwork and perhaps even words—as animated and alive. Animism often includes “an idea of pervading life and will in nature”,  a belief that natural objects other than humans have souls.

The animistic perspective is so widely held and inherent to most indigenous peoples that they often do not even have a word in their languages that corresponds to “animism” or even “religion.

Animism encompasses the beliefs that all material phenomena have agency, that there exists no hard and fast distinction between the spiritual and physical (or material) world and that soul or spirit or sentience exists not only in humans, but also in other animals, plants, rocks, geographic features such as mountains or rivers or other entities of the natural environment: water sprites, vegetation deities, tree sprites, etc..

WITCHES RITE OF RENUNCIATION

Republished by Blog Post Promoter

witches renunciation(This article is reposted from “quedavathegrey” on Tumbler)

“The Witches’ Rites of Renunciation are meant to sever the religious ties of your own personal past. This is done (I have found) for two distinct reasons: to shed the preconceptions forced by organized religion, including both the doctrines and the antithetic notion of hierarchal power in regards to Enlightenment, and as a symbol of rebirth. Much like a baptism! Only in this instance, the sin you wash away is the sin of religious indoctrination, hypocrisy and the very human realities that accompany the notion of “church.” It is meant to be a freeing exercise – one that cleanses all the malformed ideologies imbued on you throughout your earlier life. Of course, that is easier said than done and no one ritual can truly clear the slate completely, but it serves as a formal boundary between the past and the future – a future in which you must relearn your understanding of the world at large. One in which the answers presented are not set in stone, but fluid – from which you must come to your own conclusions, test your own theories and tessellate the scattered mythos and ideas into a cohesive faith – you own faith, reliant wholly on none other than yourself.

That is The Witches’ Baptism, and this is one example of how it may be performed:

Ideally, the rite should be done at a Crossroad (of whichever type speaks to you the most) as it is a transformative ritual! Bring with you whatever you need to light a fire in your preferred method – such as wood for a classic bonfire, Sacred Fire to light in a bowl/cauldron/vessel, or alcohol – which can be poured in a circle (note: isopropyl alcohol isn’t fond of the cold or wind, so either plan according to weather or bring a backup solution).

On site, when you are emotionally prepared, build your fire. Depending on your chosen medium, your window of opportunity will differ greatly (the above are listed from greatest to least burn-time), so factor this in as well. For those of you who thoroughly enjoy taking your time, I recommend building a true fire.

The following part should be personalized to fit your taste, as how you wish to release the past is up to you. You can do it simply, by speaking out loud that you rebuke the religion of your youth/past (traditionally, this is done by rebuking the Holy Spirit of Christianity – the unforgivable blasphemy – so as to free oneself from its vice-grip, though the renunciation can extend to any religion [or even no religion]).

A few other options consist of writing these things out – in as long-winded or concise a manner as you wish (these can even be written days in advance) – or burning a symbol of the past. The flames are freeing – allow them to be.

Purge these broken things from the mind and heart, and cast them symbolically into the consuming fire of creation and destruction. It is these things that stand as obstacle – let them be cleansed from you. And when the time has come, when these things have been expressed and used as kindling (carefully) leap the fire (and try not to wear any hairspray!). Then you are free.

Upon the other side, you may douse the fire, allow it to burn out, or use this time to connect with another Spirit or Deity (I said you were free, not that you had to stay free!), Nature at large, or even with yourself – whichever is most befitting your chosen path. Theoretically, this could be done by an Abrahamic witch if only to cleanse the effects of church indoctrination – for those who wish to follow the gospels/tomes in a unique or personal way.”
