“Mankind has, from as long as anyone can remember or has written down, always known sadness. It is our driving force. The old Celts described a world full of suffering. Only suffering gives meaning. You learn life as you undergo the struggle of it. Je Maintaindrai. What does not kill you makes you stronger[i]. The selection and breeding of our ancestors have gotten us far. Look at what you’re doing now. You and I evolve. Walk with my message and learn more for every day can be another step higher into consciousness. Let our mysteries unfold as we open our minds.
As we grow in perception, our vision grows[ii]. When our vision grows, we grow in awareness. When we grow in awareness, we become more who we are. To suffer is a virtue. We are all lesser beings who can learn and have a fuller life. Death cannot be avoided. Neither taxes, nor the misuse of power and government. Accept this and then you can accept yourself. Live your life for yourself. Care not what the neighbour says, but be a good neighbour. Do not depend on others. Only you can enlighten yourself.
Never did the world stand still for its own madness. “Power attracts pathological personalities. It’s not that power corrupts but that it is magnetic to the corruptible[iii]“. Order is the standstill of creation; it mimics the greater workings of chaos and its strangling hold spreads out like a cancer. Even though the Celts knew this, with their plotting and manipulating wise women, still their old order died without the new sacred blood. Always accept new blood. As for the Goddess, each stone laid upon another is a dagger in her back. Know that She always watches.
Rectify your way of living for otherwise it will not progress. Love the earth, marry the land and watch the seasons. Only the flexible animals survive. Only by accepting this instinctive truth can you attain godhood. Listen to yourself, for you will not lie to yourself.
Neither God nor Satan wants you. Both represent order. A dualism which our complex world can not match. Bungling underneath the greater workings, less then a pawn, you are left alone on this abandoned world. ALWAYS. To consume is being consumed in this New World . The flame of desire will drench the world in Hell. And who but the lifeless faces on TV will speak to you? Seek neither results nor credits for your work for it leads to carelessness. Be aware of the balance in your work, the balance in yourself. For we have forgotten what has passed away and unaware of what is coming to be. We are of this world but sadly not in it. We are in Plato’s cave. We are enslaved by our own creations. We dream endless dreams in machines.
All this can change. The universe has always followed its own pace. To be one with the universe is to be one with your own nature. Be modest and devoted. Embrace chaos and there shall be no final embrace. Only through self-realisation can you truly set yourself free. Live your life content and aware of your own true presence. Be Authentic. Who dares to stand up in a crowd of millions and starts to ask questions about this life? Are we not blessed? Is this not the world as it should be? Civilised as they were claimed to be, the Romans did not inherit the world. Nothing in excess was the second phrase written on the gateway that leads to the temple at Delphi . The first phrase was Know thyself. Let us learn these lessons again and again. Kill your ego die with the sword of doubt and only then can you learn how Fortune’s Wheel is turned.
Zion lies within, where it always has been. The ultimate truth is within reach, plain for everyone to see, but covered with lies and false values and fear. Fear to hurt and fear to get hurt. Where is life in this empty vessel of desires? After the nicer car comes the bigger house. After birth we run in a straight line into the reach of Death’s scythe[iv]. Security kills the unknown. Maslow knew us well when he placed security before self-realisation[v]. And only through messages such as these can we hope to feel a fraction of a true spiritual journey. This message is but one in the sea of information.”
