   Choosing One's Feelings

      

 [Voice from the Other Side - Sha'Tara]

 

The Future:

There is a place of "perfection" where we can go and feel only that which we choose to feel.  Here we are exactly who we know ourselves to be and not what external realities impose upon us. 

 

As creatures bound by external forces caught in time we never get to know ourselves.  We can only be that which "they" say we are.  And so we judge ourselves and so we ever fall short of our potential as ISSA beings.  We are dependent and sycophantic... and so sad.  Children who never grow up, who are never allowed to grow up, milling madly in a miasma of meaninglessness.

 

I suspect that through forces of living evolution (experiential motion) we create our own personal future separate from all other possible futures.  However much controlling forces would mould us to their needs and desires we push ourselves ever beyond their reach.  This driving force is the basis of life, not the ever-present surrounding carapace of dead and dying systems we are taught to cling to for survival.

 

To feel what I choose to feel is to declare to all and sundry that I have come of age.  I am no longer dependent on "others" for my life.  This awareness is frightening to those who have ingrown themselves into a comfort of control.  Who have established themselves within realms of responsibility for "life" as they declare it to be.  Who rely exclusively on slaves for their survival.  For when the slave realizes her bonds are made of straw, that her new flesh cannot be bound as of old, the old systems who fed on her fear and blood, die. 

 

The Present:

Let me illustrate briefly the conditions of Earth by stating, once more, how patterns are set.  "As below, so above."  Earthians have always been slaves of gods, systems, institutions, beliefs.  They have never been permitted to have free minds.  Even their greatest philosophers could not free themselves of old programming that forced them to include "God" in their reasoning.  Even the so-called "New Age" was utterly seduced back into old programming and beliefs - be they in "God" or in meaningless rituals of so-called paganism.  The old myths were dusted off and their tattered sheets spread out to hide the future.  Few made the effort to look through the gaping holes and see the charade.  So busy were they buying the "new" books and running to channeling sessions for "insight." None realized they were still falling towards the core of the old gravity wells 

 

Below:

Much of Earthian energies are spent "being physical" - and little is given to the spiritual, even less to the mind.  In the physical state, the Earthian is totally dependent upon the material world for survival.  That means "farming" the material world to provide for physical comfort.  Food, stomach comfort, is a number one priority here.  The cruelty imposed upon the animal population to satisfy the cravings of Earthian palate for meat far exceeds anything humans have ever done to each other in their times of madness called war.   Most remain blissfully unaware of this situation, and certainly when they loudly prance around their barbecues, such concerns are far from their minds and heart.

 

Above:

The horrors time has imposed upon the human population were not necessary, nor were they ever accidental.  They were planned and deliberate.  Earth is a feed lot for the gods Earthians continue to worship and put their hopes in.  As the cow has to "trust" the farmer to put the grain in the trough - and has no way of changing her intolerable condition except through death, so the humans are put through the mill to satisfy the desires of their gods.

 

This is, of course, old history.  Long ago, before the humans evolved into semi-gods (having taken to power of life and death over others) and begun to consume meat, they had to butcher animals to offer burnt offerings to their gods.  They had to raise animals primarily to slaughter and sacrifice to their gods.  (This practice would eventually include children and captives of conquest.)  At the dedication of the first temple in Jerusalem, Solomon had tens of thousands of cattle slaughtered.  Not to feed the population - such an act would be insane since there was no means of preserving the dead meat - but to "send a pleasing aroma to God" on high. 

 

Interesting insight.  Why would any so-called "god" need to smell burning flesh to find pleasure?  It wasn't the burning flesh that pleased the gods, but the pain and suffering that accompanied the killing act. 

 

Results:

In time the humans would become trapped by this need and learn to increase the level of pain and suffering by imposing it on those with less power: women and children, captives, slaves, workers and of course, nature.  Animals were to play an increasing role in providing the necessary amount of suffering to maintain the System as the gods had set it up.  Earthians, especially through their collectives, became addicted to imposed suffering, relying on an ever-expanding supply of this particular energy for pleasure and satisfaction.  Just look around today.  What "makes" the news?  What attracts crowds?

 

All controlling systems are gravity wells that feed themselves by imposing pain and suffering on their sphere of influence, or control - no exception.  As such a system ages, needs increase.  As the senses become dulled,  the cruelty that feeds them must increase.  This means that systems based on oppression must collapse - inevitably.  Fortunately for the victims (human and animal) this world doesn't have much longer to go.  The so-called judgment of Earth is near.  Those who believe will die in the final madness - angry, helpless, confused, betrayed.  Those who saw and made the necessary spiritual/mental corrections will escape into a "wilderness" to be hidden from the thrashing, dying beast. 

 

The Golden Path

I have seen this "wilderness" - the shadow place where the old gods and systems cannot enter.  Where pain, sickness, disease or physical death do not exist.  It is outside the domain of the Time Lords who established their oppressive structures on worlds such as Earth.  I'm not saying that this shadow place is immune to invasion from the "body snatchers"; that it cannot be seduced.  But in its current place it remains a virgin space, pristine and pure.  A certain refuge at a time of greatest need.  Anyone who looks for this place can find it.  Those who "guard" its entrance will explain what the requirements are to qualify for entry.  No one who does not meet those requirements will be able to enter. 

 

Earth, as the dwelling hell-hole of gods and men, has no future.  It must die, and that very soon.  The amount of pain manufactured here is unbearable.  That is why there are so few empaths on this world.  We cannot long survive the onslaught upon our feelings.  If we cannot ease the suffering of this world, we cannot control and balance our own sorrow and joy.  We become overwhelmed and are in great danger of losing ourselves to the madness also. 

 

Unless we practice the art of choosing our feelings; of walking in the future; in the Shadows - between the worlds. 

 

"The Golden Path, father.  We go forward, we come back.  Don't be afraid!"  (Leto Atreides to Mua'dib in Children of Dune.)

You lay out the groundwork for much self analysis and exploration

Each of us as individuals must map out our future, relying on our intuition and perceptive senses to keep us right...
I believe the best way to do that is not to place reliance on our own awareness, but rather cast our burden on our God, to direct our voyages through the treachorous waters of life...
Thanks for sharing

You have it all worked out, Regis, and for that I applaud you on your fulfillment. On the other hand, and I am not nearly as flowery with words as you are, I see not utopia within your "self-controlled" environment. Actually, I sense a universe of no passion, no beauty, nothing except a sterile and unsupervised world of "doing your own thing," because you, yourself, think it is your inner being talking to you, for from what I got from you eloquent thesis is that "inner thought" is all. You say that the horrors on earth was no accident, but were planed and deliberate. Something preordained, perhaps? If this is the case, that shoots your theory out of the water, because you shun a God in your essay, but if all our misery has been planned and ordained, who did it, it not a God? You are intelligent and you have your thoughts, I do not ascribe to them, however.
