THE SECRET
To understand the workings of the universe, one can reduce anything to its core, and there find a rotating wheel producing output. This is true whether a hairdryer or the universe.
The difference is simple:
the universe is plugged into Eternity.
Because Eternity is infinite, its energy is a bottomless well. The universal core is the prototype of all secondary archetypes. Energy began when One-is-all became all-as-one in a twist - a repeating moment of time that accumulates the universe.
the universe is the same wheel turning, and the resistance that caused the wheel is everywhere at once as the sum of its parts. Time and resistance are synonymous.
The sum of parts is the body of an aggrieved mind -
a mass of ignorance, everywhere at once.
As Aristotle said, “The whole is more than the sum of its parts.”
And in that mass appears the familiar figure: a small man with a big gun -
the frightened ego swollen with borrowed power, the fiction we create to protect ourselves from the truth we fear.
The demon is everywhere at once, manifest as the sum of who we think we are - in your head.
The one on high is a clever overseer; nothing is missed.
Those that break from the collective are washed back like waves to the ocean.
People do not know from whence they come. They are conditioned like sheep by the accumulation of their own ignorance, acting as one being over all. Fear rules.
Meanwhile, we are disappearing at every turn of the eternal wheel and it's the softest bang possible - the return to Love.
We are inundated with Love, but to little avail, for we cannot see beyond the Collective whole that lives in each and every one.
We must learn this secret that is everywhere at once.
“The wheel turns. The silent resistance is everywhere. The secret is hidden in plain sight.”
