The
fear of death is one of the great abnormalities or distortions of divine truth
for which the Lords of Cosmic Evil are responsible. When in early Atlantean times they emerged
from the place where they had been confined, and forced temporarily the
retirement of the Great White Lodge to subjective levels, their first great act
of distortion was to implant in human beings fear, beginning with the fear of
death. From that time on, men have laid
the emphasis upon death and not life, and have been ridden by fear all their
days. The Rays and
the Initiations P.732
If you are one of the probably billions of individuals who are over 7 and
assume that you are your dense physical body, and that you are going to die,
and that is the story, period, then you need to work on that because it’s really
kind of stupid, or as they say absurd.
I mean, what is the point. What is the point of getting born, going
through toilet training, learning how to walk, talk, those miserable years of
“teenage” angst, getting a job, married, becoming a mother, father, getting a
house, car, whatever, and then dying! Is that the point of Life?
We get born, a process of which we are thankfully pretty much unaware,
to go through all of that stuff? Granted, some of it is remarkably wonderful. But
even that, even the wonderful, we go through that so that we can eventually die?
Why does that make any sense?
I mean, what is the point. Why bother? Certainly, besides all of the
pain and travail that we cannot avoid, we have all those blinders, the “covers”,
all that stuff that we value and think is great and are happy about, all of the
“stuff” that we use to help us ignore those moments of pain and doubt, and the total
absurdity of it all in the ever growing realization that death is the end of
the road.
Any number of philosophers, most of whom were identified with their
equipment and denied the existence of the multidimensional Cosmos, have
considered this issue. One, Albert Camus concluded “there is only one truly
serious philosophical problem, and that is suicide". The Myth of Sisyphus Camus’s conclusion is that you push the rock
up the hill in spite of the fact that it is absurd. This act supposedly gives
one some kind of a sense of reason or value.
The Sisyphus myth which is only comprehendible if you’re not locked
into a one dimensional delusion, is actually about reincarnation and the reaping
of the award of repeating the stupidity until you get it. When old Sisyphus
finally gets that he can go to the top of the mountain and just leave the
bolder of accumulated crap with which he is identified at the bottom, he will
be a happier being. Examples of this fact of Life from minor to major issues of
behavior and trust are readily available in all of our daily lives, if we care
to look.
However, it is this identification with our dense vehicles and the fear
of our personal inevitable death that generates a kind of blindness that
literally makes us ignorant. By ignorant, I mean the inability to register
Reality. As long as we are stuck in this
absurdity there will be no non-absurd answer to the question of why do we die?
However, even that is a big hint. If there is no answer, then there
must be something basically wrong with the question. And in this case the whole
question is based on an ignorant assumption that death is the end of the road. This
ignorant notion has been drilled into our-humanity’s-heads probably from the
beginning.
Our total identification with the world of dense physical forms as
being the only Real world, simply cut Science off at the knees, or more like
the ankles. The replacement for science was what we call religion. We got all
the religious stuff in thousands of different packages which in many cases
actually uses the fear of death to convince us that its particular vision is
the “one true way”. Also, never mind what the telescope shows you, Earth is the
center of the universe.
After the “Dark Ages” starting around 13-1400, we got a great deal of
intellectual stuff. For example, we got Machiavellianism, which is a leading
political philosophy today. Then we got empiricism, pragmatism etcetera which
are the primary one dimensionally wired intellectual drivers of most of today’s
social and economic systems.
So, in one move those forces which are not in alignment with the
evolution of the Planet more or less hijacked Reality and buried it under
uncountable tons of fear based stuff called religion and a philosophy of one
dimensional thought processing. "It is only when physics is insufficiently
understood that metaphysics exists”. Supermundane
3 P.175
if you have decided to at least assume that total irrationality is not
part of the Universe that you see all around you, and that maybe you actually
are more than the blood, bones and muscle you see reflected in your mirror,
then you might think that the question, why am I here?, what is the point?, is
worth pondering.
The answer to that question only becomes possible to see if we can shed
the fear generated blinders of our fixation on a one dimensional physical dense
Reality.
One
of the initial acts of the reappearing Christ and of the Hierarchy will be to
erase this particular fear and to confirm in people’s minds the idea that
incarnation and the taking of a form is the true place of darkness to the
divine spirit which is man; it [reincarnation] is death to the spirit
temporarily, and imprisonment.
Evolution, men will be taught, is in itself an initiatory process
leading from one living experience to another, culminating in the fifth
Initiation of Revelation and in the seventh Initiation of Resurrection. Seven Rays v5 p.733
Please take note of the use of the word “reappearing” in the above quote.
We need to get over the idea that some big dude with a lightning rod is
going to pop in and “save” us at some unspecified time. Evolution is an ongoing, actually unavoidable
and unstoppable in spite of all the gyrations of the Retrogressors, process.
Christ, the Essence of Love, is appearing globally through Humanity as I write. It is notable as the presence of group consciousness.
If we consider a slice of time that is larger than what we did last
week, or month, or a year, ago, we might get a clearer idea. If look at where humanity
was 3 or 4 hundred years ago, one of the more obvious facts of what’s going on
around us is that humanity is evolving. Also, if there is evolution or evolving
rather than some insane process of revolution or going around in stupid circles
doing the same ultimately dumb stuff to give some reason for being here, then
the question is what are we evolving out of and into?
That is the question that we really need to focus on. If life is not
absurd. If we are actually incarnating souls or “units of consciousness” being
here makes sense. Everything we think of as an “end” becomes a drag on our
progress. It pulls against the path into where we are ultimately going.
And so if we are ready, we come to Striving.
Striving is the boat of the Arhat. Striving is the manifested unicorn.
Striving is the key to all caves. Striving is the wing of the eagle. Striving
is the ray of the sun. Striving is the armor of the heart. Striving is the
lotus blossom. Striving is the book of the future. Striving is the world
manifest. Striving is the multitude of stars. New Era Community #55
And if I could add, voting is striving with a short term consequence.
