b) Specific questions referring to higher realizations and human models
What do you think about the Christian image of God?
As long as we are not searching for this God deep within ourselves or in our memories but inside religious scripts, we should restrict our approach to the historical perspective of an anthropologist. Every human being hides the memory of the source of creation within his consciousness, the spiritual flame into which he wants to return. It is the longing for paradise that we repress in the course of our lives, the will to return into the blessed land, in which human beings construct their gods. Behind this however does not hide the fusion with, – and the return to – the divine origins but the egoistic claim to evolve from within oneself in a creative way and, in a sense, be godlike. The resulting conclusion is obvious: These images divert from reality – this collective God cannot help us, on the contrary, he strengthens and patronizes us in our illusion ...
... a divine phantom that – in a way – bites its own bottom?
God is an image, thought up by priests, which helps us to deal with the results of our own acquisitions. Somehow this is about assigning ourselves to the task that helps us to find God or the meaning of life within the consequences of our deeds. That is why this picture always points back to it’s creator: Humanity …
You think that mankind has created God after their example?
Sure, because we only ever see what we want to see, and we perceive everything in the world exactly the same way our collectively minted consciousness forces us to interpret the things we see, to prevent them from transgressing the borders of our common perception. Even worse: We only see the association with our collective thinking-structures, which we have evoked from within our cradle and since then differentiated and cultivated, confirmed by everything. Actually everything we see is nothing else but a brew mixed by electric impulses in our brain, that force us to relate to something so that we at least have two points between which we can navigate inside of his mechanisms. Just imagine our inner position from where we perceive the world, would displace itself, then the whole attention towards our reality would collapse, and then our whole civilization would vanish instantly.
But where is the origin of the impulse that causes the need to create such an image?
Within the collective intention itself! We form realities from within our spiritual force and our common imagination, in which we interact and therefore there’s need of an origin to which we can relate within our dual conception, so that we are not able to notice that all our images flow from within ourselves and we name this origin „God“. That’s the trick …
... the God-trick?
The collective intention is the impulse, to construct a reachable symbol from the fathomless numinous creation and place this self-created image like a mirror in front of us so that we can believe in it.
Does that mean that humanity is its own creator?
You are absolutely right! The first human beings had to – in a manner of speaking – invent their civilization first and the question, how this world could have come into being, helped them to find the answer, in the way they observed it. Our own assessment of this world out there in turn influenced the image they created from themselves, because we can only feel ourselves through our intuition, which is again initiated from the outside world. And through this perpetual interaction between the self-image and the outside world, they constructed their personal history.
The self image that reveals itself to us in our mirror helps us to trust the God who is looking back at us through the reflection?
Yes. As long as we do not realize that we ourselves are the ones who create the inventories of our symbolisms, we can not be able to see the fact that we in a way have become the filling of our own perception, and on this belief we can depend on. We see ourselves standing at the windows of our cerebrum staring out at the world through our eyes, but what we see is actually nothing else than a kind of formatted landscape out of our collective inventory.
Did I understand you correctly? The all-embracing frame which holds everything together is our faith?
To define this picture as what we want it to be a frame is necessary, and this frame consists of the many individual egos, through which we force each other to keep this self created image together.
And why do we have to keep this image together? Would the world break apart if we didn’t?
It is not the world that would break apart without a frame, for such a world could never have existed. It is the construction of our ego that always builds a controlled reality, which would collapse if we would suddenly have the idea of not believing in our self constructed world image any more.
Then our models would be nothing but a farce …?
In a sense, yes. Because we don’t know that reality on the outside in the way we know it was created by our collective creativity, so we could have something within our consciousness that we constructed, which we are able to control and therefore we really believe that the outer world is completely autonomous from our inner perception ...
... and every form of searching for God is a joke?
At least one that is to be taken very seriously, for this God is in fact the self-made life-goal of humanity within our minds! Let us go back in time: At the very beginning of mankind there was no God – just a few tools of consciousness, which variated us from animals and using them we were to carve our worldview out of eternity. This wish we have fulfilled ourselves, for these self fulfilled wishes are the foundation of that what we relate to and we have expanded them into gigantic cathedrals of knowledge within which those billions of priests and scientists are busy constantly confirming and explain our monuments. Our whole progress is nothing but a development of images that we ourselves have constructed and which fulfill themselves within the collective capacity of consciousness.
But what about spiritual realization? And where would be the solution?
Maybe this is all about simply accepting the fact that the way we suffer when we proceed with the endless conflict we have with each other, is the price we have to pay for wanting to control our lives. There is no return from this hamster-wheel. Therefore there’s no point in the question what would be if it all were different. Maybe we should ask ourselves the following question: “How should we understand the problems in our world as long as we fail to notice that these problems lie within ourselves?”
So, there is no paradise?
What for? Paradise is nothing worth achieving for a human nature, foreseen from the perspective of our ego, there is nothing to strife for. Human evolution originates in social and civil control, to let the natural instincts be accompanied by a socialized pendant, and this control is the framework around which the structure of every civilization winds itself – and collapses from time to time. Therefore it makes no sense for the magical person to repress or overcome control, he rather has to study the social mechanisms closely and ask the price one has to pay for this control. Like I said before: There is no escape from this dual trap. These delusions always lead to destruction and total breakdowns, onto which new orders install themselves. This is the fundament of human development.
What about higher ambitions that human beings long for? Don’t we need a specific aim ... a deeper truth?
As long as we perpetually try to enforce clarity we are delivered victims to the force of our intellect. For as long as our intellect is only able to perceive life through the limited forms and shapes within the dimensions of our common way of perception which he can comprehend, the strife for clarity or a deeper truth is, seen from an objective point of view, the illusion to prefer our imagination to eternity and believe in it. That is why every kind of clarity is threatening to our existence, for it observes and verifies only small fractions out of a whole, isolates them and evaluates them as if they were everything. Our „controlled“ models are a trick that only works because we don’t see through it.
Why do human beings even need models?
Because we are only able to see the world the way we experience it through our structures of thought, we first of all have to get an impression of our way of thinking. Actually models are for collecting our focused thoughts around one center so that we have a common foundation that is the precondition for every kind of interaction, in a manner of speaking, a description of the world, so that we can have philosophic conversations about it …
I understand ... models that sustain reality are actually diverting from what is real?
If we were clever, we would realize that truth cannot be enforced by means of our intellect, because all that is perceivable through thinking is thinking itself, which is the very aspect we have chosen to be our major criterion, to measure itself. If we want to convince our intellect, we have to create models first that convince our thinking, and then we have to forget that we ourselves have constructed these models. That is why we may not expect any truth of these models because truth lies beyond the duality of consciousness. It is not our task to enforce a „model of truth“ but to accept that we are never able to see the truth with what our consciousness is equipped with.
According to your words every model would be an illusion that is essential for life?
Indeed: Without these structures mankind would have nothing to hold on to because as I already told you: The only thing that is perceivable through thinking is thinking itself, but these realizations only lead us to new models. Do you want to know more about this?
I want to know everything!
Every model enacts of its own, inner daemon, an energetic existence created within the model through spiritual laws that radiates negative frequencies onto beings that are not of the same opinion and keeps us captured within the specific force field. We know this concept from science, politics, religion and esoteric. The very moment a human being has understood his model he is trying to try it out on someone else’s life. Models create a collective energy, which is controllable and confirmable by accessory input from the outside. Behind this lies the egoistic intention to transform life into a generally valid structure.
This system seems familiar to me ... is there no alternative?
There is nothing beyond our structures, because these different models which mankind has created for itself in the course of history are the only path evolution will take.
Where is this path leading to?
Reality is an accumulation of conceptions – depending on the cultural sources from which mankind draws its reality. All in all this means: Models are the only instruments that are able to hold an objective lie against our subjective wickedness and this is not only the first step on the path of wisdom but it is also the most important one.
So, are we back at the good, old religion then?
All spiritual, religious, magical and esoteric models are something like a consequence of our material world. They embody the materialization of the repressed longing of the world to explain the universe from deep within and not only superficially, that is: like the human mind „imagines“ the higher goals. Have we realized this, we are ready to take our first step into the world of magic …
... first step where to? What can we do?
Nothing. It is doing it all by itself. But while doing nothing we can become conscious of certain things …
... what things?
Should we not, for example, stop looking for the devil on the outside? Through this we could prevent a good deal of suffering – because he indwells us! You yourself are your worst enemy! It is our shadow and it wants to kill us!
It wants to destroy us? I do not understand!
The devil is the separated part of humanity – and he exists in each and every one of us! As long as we know this we can rest at ease …
Rest at ease ...?
Everything we are desirous to achieve is determined by what is trying to be accomplished through and within us, so our fate can fulfill itself. This is the final realization on our path to redemption. If we knew that there never is anything to realize which is not already enclosed deep within ourselves, there would be no motive for personal development.
But when the devil indwells us?
Don’t worry – So do the Gods! Look: We are our parent’s children and our parents are their parents children, who yet again are children of their parents etc. This implies, that every one of us is related to the first human being, to the first ape, originated from the first prehistoric organic form of life – and even further back – to the very origin of creation. In other words: We include the whole universe and therefore the force of creation is a part of us. Unfortunately we lost the access to our inner power, which would let us share in the cosmic conception. That is why we have no choice but to addict ourselves to this self-made God, who kindly smiles at us from every religious institution of power, rampantly growing financial system, exaggerated constructions of prosperity and scientific explanation of spiritual topics and technological achievements ...
We have no other choice ...? What do you mean by that?
Without the systems that lead us away from spirituality and force materialism upon us in exchange, we wouldn’t be able to live at all. It is this ambivalence which frightens us so much because it mirrors our own constructed way of living. The financial markets are the most intensive shadow of the modern development, within which humanity becomes a helpless victim to its own creation. On the other hand we may not be self-pitying: We integrated this daemon into our world ourselves. Eventually it seems to be the destiny of mankind, the path that seems predetermined by the way it was constructed by evolution; therefore he will never truly find peace. And because we don’t want to be forced to confront ourselves with this truth, we constructed our religion, which diverts us from reality. What is the conclusion which we draw from this: Everything is alright, there’s no need to worry, at least as long as we are not yet confronted with our mortality or lie on our deathbed!
What would be different if we knew this?
If mankind would know the subliminal connections? The whole world would break apart from one moment to the next, because these structures are only able to exist because of our common agreement that we cannot depend on them without our control. If we further knew that it is our own control that holds this whole construction together, which yet again is the reason why we can depend on them, as long as our control mechanisms are functioning well, we can also experience that everything we believe in is nothing else then believing in our belief.
Could one not say that nothing would function without our faith ...?
We could even symbolically say that the path underneath our feet only exists, as long as our trust in the belief that this path is real, functions ...
And that we are only playing parts in our own movie?
We are not only playing the parts we are also the directors. The part of us that indwells higher spheres provides the stage on which we are not only able to orchestrate our ego but also the indescribable parts of ourselves like a director would – I shall return to this topic later. This director controls and changes the role-play and fits the ego into the reality of its environment so that the person can function within his or her life.
Who is this director?
C. G. Jung called it „self“ and defined it to be the final destination and source of our personal will, in the end a transcendent and unrecognizable inner core that simultaneously describes center and periphery.
And who is this „self“?
I can only explain it to you symbolically: “Our-self” is the will of the archer to hit the center of his target, before he actually shoots his arrow.
Why then have we not exchanged this faith of ours with a deeper, spiritual knowledge long ago? Why did we hold on to our religion for so long?
To provide the motivation to seek the meaning of life! If we knew that there is nothing to look for, that nothing matters and everything is harmonic and good the way it is, there would be no differences between us that would allow us to feel different from others and then all our goals wouldn’t make any sense.
Shouldn’t we then finally bury this old, patriarchal God of ours?
But he died long ago! These days we meet the modern separated part of his personality in the temples of science. He resembles a kind of glue which binds the collective associations of humanity onto one, firm point of reference, a founding axiom – one could call it Aristotelian thinking –, from which the whole world is measurable from behind and controllable in the front. The modern wardens of the Holy Grail, operating within their fortresses are in no way less diabolic than the old priests. They are equally addicted to their religious hubris and in their rapture they preoccupy themselves with either decoding our past using highly complicated statistics and spreadsheets of human calculation, or deliberately interfering with our gene – structures with the help of molecular-biology.
Most people think differently about this – You are no fan of science?
Most of all, I am no fan of arrogance. Mankind has a tendency to centralize its achievements and science has a tendency to proclaim its realizations the hub of the world. Thereby we shouldn’t restrict our researches to a horizontal perspective, we should most of all, fathom what lies in the deep which is to say we should not only want to find out how much we can find out, but also have the ambition to analyze the reason why we feel forced to find an answer to every question that occurs from the outside. Why do we not also try to explore our inner spheres because in the end we are all mortal beings and no scientific achievement can prevent us from facing death one day!
You were talking about changes of perspectives within our consciousness that are linked to the morphisms of inner spheres once in a while. Is death one of these changes even though it is a final one?
Seen from a spiritual perspective death is totally insignificant and is not spectacularly different from our journeys within our dreams our conditions of deep meditation if we change our view from the point of common frequencies of thought onto a higher dimension. He merely changes the possibility to return into the physical, material world and destroys – at least from our point of view – the illusion that this reality is the only form of existence. It is the same the other way around: Just as we have no idea about dimensions of existence beyond our consciousness, many beings on other spheres have no inventory about what a human being or a soul could be.
What about the enlightened ones, who already know about all of this?
For those people it is not possible to identify themselves with social goals any more of course – in a sense they veer out of the system They will – like I hinted a few moments ago – want to retreat into other dimensions of physical existence – back then they were commonly known as the wise masters in the mountains of the Himalaya or the “white fraternity”.
Why, they could also proclaim their own prophecies!
No they can’t especially not if they have really understood the deeper coherences. If they did they would be going in circles again.
I don’t understand!
To have a message is only yet another part of our little game that wants to be the better offer out of all the other games. All of those healing systems and healing doctrines are part of an egoistic game in a world of imbalance where it is all about finding and keeping the holy grale.
Ah ... I think I am slowly beginning to understand! There is no God that would embrace us, no paradise waiting for us – only the unknown behind the mirror of our images that we cannot avoid. To leave this game would mean to leave all the healing systems and religious doctrines behind and abandon all collective constructions no matter where it may lead to in the end or where the journey is going?
Yes, in the end we will leave everything behind regardless of how casually we are persuing our goals. As long as you have an aim, which seems worth achieving for you, you are bound to our models, and that is why it is good for people not to study their own created images of truth too closely. The truth shows no refuge where you can go to so one could escape from our structures, for the structure is the opposite of the deeper truth, but it is also – and this is important to know – a part of our own, human truth.
One last question: What is the wise man doing seen from a spiritual point of view?
He is fusing with God ...
... the very God that is only an image in peoples heads?
Exactly with that one! God is a swirling entity, a divine blister that emanates everything visible in the universe, and devours it again. In fact it is the pure energy of creation which throbs in the middle of the universe surrounded by star systems. Somehow all religious models are more or less the pictured description of the big bang, the first impulse that brought everything into being on this day zero, on which, in a manner of speaking, God gave birth to his own energy, though without being ever separated from it. Since then he is floating on the crests of the eternally expanding universe, within everything he created – deeper and deeper into the depths of eternity. Or if we express it a bit less veiled: Since then the force is a part of its own justification and penetrates through all its creations.
I think I’m beginning to understand what you are trying to tell me:According to your description God would be a kind of “silver–surfer” on the midnight sky ...?
The problem with divine spheres is that we can’t trust the inner, spiritual part of ourselves, because we have learned that everything we feel has to be cataloged and classified. As a result our mind gets twisted in the crucial moment when we are being called from within to follow the emanation, and we feel forced to interpret this feeling. But our intellect projects the inner sensing which developed out of our intuition onto an outer representative, whom we can worship, so that he can help us to fight against evil. On the other hand the journey into the deep sources of truth has its price. If we want to have a glimpse behind the delusions of our imprinted world images who force us to observe only what has been collectively naturalized, our enforced image of the world breaks apart. Only because of these networks which we have set up within our perception in the course of history and which we have passed on from generation to generation, we are bound to the same dream and only because of these collective memories, which provide the banisters onto which we can hold on to and safely move hand over hand through the unknown if we don’t get engulfed by the eye of God ...
... or is it an old form of conditioning to the picture of the wonderful Wizard of Oz?
In other words: as long as we refuse to see through the mechanisms that force us to perceive the world in the way we have learned to observe it and keep it functioning, we are safe from the eye that sees everything. Therefore there is never an end to what leads us further on: That what always causes new circles to spread on the waters of higher frequencies like a stone, that was flung into the water is the sum of the emanations of the eye, which eternally expands into the cosmic depths always creating new galaxies – a kind of cosmic uterine orifice that sucks in everything and flings it out again when it has reached the end of its cycle because of its air gulping and excreting nature to bear the inimitability of every creation into the light of the ever changing spots and let each of them be interpreted differently. Therefore we remain eternal dreamers of divine materializations of the cosmic sight at least as long as we don’t learn to “see with our heart” – as long as we don’t recognize that we are not only participants but also the creators of our life.
