Regarding The Good


Regarding the Good
Is it not better for the rapidly awakening intelligence and activity of men (in every land) to be trained to recognize the essential unity of all human beings, and so be led to take the action needed which will endorse that unity, which will work for the entire group of human beings in all lands everywhere, and which will also and at the same time preserve the individual and the national cultures, alongside a universal civilization and a world-wide system of divine recognition? Externalization of the Hierarchy p.671

Some 140 or 50 years ago Friedrich Nietzsche declared that God was dead. 150 years ago nobody had the sense to ask Nietzsche which one! There still seemed to be plenty of at least wannabe live ones walking around.

Anyway, Nietzsche did not really want get rid of God, he wanted to replace the current religious system and, from his point of view, its fake god products with a new system His new system finally manifested as Nazism, and Fascism and a whole bunch of new fake gods. The new gods, were patterned on the old ones, Supreme Beings, or Super Men, mainly, when you get right down to it, the individuals with all the money and power.

Basically the same system only with a new crop of gods.

This tiny three letter word, “God”, apparently ever since we had words, has been used to name whoever anyone thought was responsible for all the stuff that was happening for which we had no explanation and of which we had no basic understanding. We also rigidly ignored any explanations that we did have because they did not fit into our basic delusion of a one dimensional dense physical reality.

Eventually blaming god became a generic kind of dodge for avoiding responsibility for whatever ridiculous behavior in which we became involved, like poverty, or war, or more contemporaneously, climate destruction. Well, God did it, or is doing it. It is god’s Will!

This concept of a Separated God, a divine frequently magnificent, and depending on who was doing the talking, occasionally insane and stupid overseer entered the graveyard of relative meaninglessness some time ago. We have spent uncountable numbers of years, creating systems to house this delusion, and uncountable numbers of words discoursing, talking, exclaiming, writing huge tomes, creating plays, movies, symphonies, operas, bebop, rock, even rapping all about God. The number and kinds of Gods we have entertained on just this planet is uncountable.

Supposing you were some super intelligent being from another galaxy and you came here and wanted to know what was going on. You would consult our literature, or You Tube, mostly on line of course, and encounter thousands of Gods. After a few minutes, given your super fast powers of assimilation, you would realize that in spite of the available Truth via the Ageless Wisdom and Art, the perspective of being in a separative system that basically separates man from Reality still dominates the systems of religion, government, economics, and seemingly most people’s consciousness.

You might just throw up your hands, or just throw up, and go back to the other galaxy where things make sense.

This conundrum of having a god who is separated from ourselves lies if not at, close to the bottom of all of the silliness and failure of our efforts to live together in harmony and community. There is a reason that Plato called the Will within the Infinite Cosmos the GOOD, and it was not because by Plato’s time there were already an uncountable number of highly distinctive gods. He, Plato, called it the Good because it was the only thing that made any sense!  The Good is multidimensional and Infinite. It cannot be killed.

So, if we really want to move Humanity into the Aquarian Age without tons of more killing and being killed, we need to do two or three obvious things.1. Realize that the one dimensional dense physical concept of cosmos in which we live is ridiculous, to put it mildly. 2. To realize that we are not these bodies which we inhabit but immortal units of Consciousness and as such we are involved in the living, evolving process of a developing Planet. 3. This involvement includes us, as Units of Consciousness, in a process of evolutionary reincarnation.

Once a sufficient number of us have at least considered that these things could be so, the specter of death which is used by those who would rather we stay ignorant to keep us ignorant will dissipate. The other barriers to our evolution such as the ownership of property and wealth as power givers, will rapidly disintegrate. We will be able to generate scientific, governmental and economical systems that foster the value and equality of all living things.

This may not happen overnight but, from the rapidity of the significant developments of our lives over the past eye-blink of four hundred years, I think that this century will, to be honest, blow our minds. This is Aquarius. We are already deep into the conscious separation from our identification with the animal Kingdom and the recognition of our Human Being-ness, and our true role in the evolution of this Planet to “bridge the lower three with the higher three”

In legends giants crossed the seas, breaking off monolithic rocks. Let us resemble the giants and our thoughts the monoliths. Let us dispel any timid halfwayness, as otherwise it will take possession of us and deliver us to a shameful execution by beating with accounting books. We know monolithic thinking.
When conflagrations are strong, think monolithically. Community, #238
