SOPHISTRY





And that is what sophistry accomplishes; the proliferation of deception for the purpose of manipulating the mind to conform into accepting their notions. That is what Sorcerers do. But the Irony is; once you've begun propagating a deception, in order to conceal your insincerity, you actually begin embodying the deception into your own life. It overtakes you and you start getting high on the same dope you're peddling. Because in order to preserve the facade/ illusion, you rationalize it so well that people start believing it and after awhile they come back to you with questions and you must know the answers, so you play the part. 

I'ts no different than if a guy in his mid 30's "pretends" to get hurt at work and decides to cheat the company out of worker's compensation benefits and retire off of it. The guy views it as an opportunity, but the requirement for this is to go to the doctors, chiropractors and psychotherapists because you have to prove that your back has suffered irreparable damage. First, the back specialists prescribing pain meds which you then turn around and sell. Then you have to receive chiropractic treatments to prove your back is out of whack, and then, because of the disturbance in your life that this "supposed" injury is causing in your life, you make a SSI claim for benefits pertaining to post traumatic stress disorder. So, now, to keep the illusion alive, you play that "role" and in doing so are prescribed valium, xanax, prozac, and zoloft by the psychiatrist. Soma and other muscle relaxers by the chiropractor, and oxycontin and morphine by the pain management doctors. So, you take the drugs to pass the urine tests and to appear legitimate for the court all to win your claim; becoming doped up, selling drugs, hiding from being spotted working... it's complete chaos.

Wash, rinse, repeat... the cycle never ends. Talk to that guy ten years down the road, his brain is fried, his muscles gone, on a breathing machine, divorced three times, his children hate him and are operating the same way. So you ask him, "how did this happen?" He replies, that he hurt his back and it caused psychological trauma, blah blah blah. The guy actually convinced himself of his own bullshit... and I know this personally as a fact because it's a real close relative of mine and I've been dealing with him for 20 years like this.  Totally deluded and any light he once had is exterminated. Natural law in action!


Dawkins states, "We are machines built by DNA whose purpose is to make more copies of the same DNA... It is every living object's sole reason for living".
So, according to Dawkin's, whom many in the scientific community admire and claims is very intelligent, our "purpose" for being born is to procreate.

Now, G.K. Chesterton emphatically reasons, "It is as if a Man were asked, "What is the use of a hammer?" and answered, "To make hammers"; and when asked, "And of those hammers, what is the use?" answered, "To make hammers again". Just as such a Man would be perpetually putting off the question of the ULTIMATE USE of carpentry, so, all the rest of us are by these phrases successfully putting off the question of the ULTIMATE VALUE of the Human Life". 






THE SPIRITUAL BLACKSMITH

It is a glorious achievement to master one's own temper.

The tempering of steel is analogous to the tempering of one's self through suffering the effects of our bad habits, behaviors, actions, etc. 

It is the transformation of the self from a hardened/ very dense state of ignorance/ immorality into a lighter, brighter, moral being who took knowledge into himself, understood it, and did a 360 degree turn away from wrong action into Right action.

It is the transfiguration of the self from a very low vibrational frequency of thought, emotion and action into a very high vibrational frequency of being after the fire (Truth) has enlightened the being. 

Tempering of steel 
(becoming a unified adult being whose thoughts, emotions and actions are in alignment with the greater will of the universe)
is usually performed after hardening (the suffering endured after committing transgressions 
against natural law),to reduce some of the excess hardness (ignorance, denial of truth, FEAR)

and is done by heating the metal (exposing the mind to Truth, piercing the veil of the fictional matrix) to some temperature (amount of intensive inquiry - grammar stage) below the critical temperature for a certain period of time (for as much time as it takes), then allowed to cool in still air. (letting it all sink in, the understanding of the Logic/ deductive reasoning).

The exact temperature determines the amount of hardness (ignorance/ mind control) removed, 
and depends on both the specific composition of the alloy (level and amount of constructs of belief in inconsistencies/ contradictions) and on the desired properties (level and amount of truth/reality you personally choose to embody) in the finished product (rhetoric stage/ beginning to take Right action in the world, embodiment of Wisdom).


For instance, very hard tools (semi-moral people) 
are often tempered at low temperatures, (natural law consequences for bad behaviors)
while springs (very low moral or no moral people) 
are tempered to much higher temperatures (natural law consequences for bad behaviors). 

In glass (a child), tempering is performed by heating the glass and then quickly cooling the surface, increasing the toughness (morality).

AUTHENTIC BEING vs. INAUTHENTIC BEING; the Life of the Outsider

This tapestry of articles, posts, and essays 
is an extremely insightful stream of pure information. 
This information needs to be taken into oneself, understood deeply, and then acted upon. 
Acted upon first by recognizing the contradictions that are present in the world...
Secondly, by tracing those contradictions to their origin of dissemination (the study of history)
and then following a linear trail back to the present to understand all the contexts.
Thirdly, apply what we've discovered to our own beliefs by eradicating within ourselves any system of belief that is in contradiction to the Truth.
And lastly, after taking this truth into ourselves and doing all the hard work of dismounting our own paradigms to align with reality, we are to PROPOUND this pure information stream into the thick skulls of those who have been misguided and encourage others, by way of our own actions, to get on track with what IS. 

This is the path of individual sovereignty. 

Regardless of what people "think" to be true, 
once you become aware of what "IS" true, 
at that moment it is your responsibility to "serve" truth into the world on a silver platter. 
If we ever hope to see a world without tyranny, suffering, oppression, and victimhood 
we MUST distinguish the difference between 
that which is based in Truth (which is evident in nature) apart from 
that which is based on several varying degrees veering away from the extremity which Truth IS. 

That's right, Truth is EXTREME, solace, omnipresent, omniscient. 
It is literally the beginning and the end, 
it's what is unwavering and totally immoveable. 
It is what has occured in the past and what is occuring now in the present moment. 
Truth is not a mystical concept. 
But it is THE concept upon which all valid information springs from. 
And it is our RESPONSIBILITY/ OBLIGATION, 
once we become aware/ conscious of how things operate in the world (what has occurred) 
to deliver/ give birth to that Truth (which we discovered by way of specific methods) 
within the moment (the present) 
in order to achieve the outcome which we "say" we want and "pray" to receive. 

How is this accomplished, we wonder. 
There is no wonderment about it. It is achieved by way of our WILL. 
Our will being the centrifugal power/ force that initiates into being that which we desire. 
It is literally the power that moves consciousness ahead into forward progression. 
People are accustomed to aligning their wills with their own egos which in turn seek after gratification, pleasure, and reward based in opposition to the greater WILL of nature. 
We need to align our "individual wills" to the FLOW of the Greater Will of the Universe, 
which is in a constant state of expansion, freedom, and becoming greater.
But what do humans do? 
Rather than aligning with the Greater Will which is always in harmony? 
They oppose it by trying to dam it up, by putting restrictions/ limitations on it. 
Our desire becomes based solely upon what we CARE about for our own egocentric selves. 
rather than CARING about the only thing worth caring about. 
Spending our attention AIMING at selfish ends. 
That's the problem, all the arrows are aimed at the ground rather than the bullseye. 
People are caring about things that do not serve the Truth, 
rather they serve to justify a line of thinking that is based on fantasy! 

Once the Archers become "aware" of the bullseye 
and they continue to keep aiming at the ground because of their 
fear of ridicule from the other archers, or their 
own personal benefit they receive for continuing to hit the ground, 
IT MAKES NO JUSTIFICATION. 
At that moment, it becomes a duty/ obligation on your part to do 
whatever you possibly can to bring your fellow archers into the awareness 
that they are aiming at the ground, essentially wasting arrows 
wasting their entire lives fulfilling duties based on ILLUSIONS! 

It's reminiscent of "The Emperor's New Clothes"


The Archers themselves are the one's held to account for aiming at the ground. 
Because once you've led them to that awareness, 
they then take on the same obligation that you possess. 
You can lead the horse to water but the horse has to be the one to take the drink. 
We can not expect to lead the horse to water by dragging it either. 
We have to lead by way of our own righteous/ harmonious with nature Actions. 
Our words are not enough, but our lives are evidence. 

Anyhow, please, please, please visit this link and indulge. 
This is where the veil gets pierced. 
After seeing what is behind the veil, and you realize that it is a Hell of our own making, 
and you do not stop participating in the legitimacy of illusions, 
and you continue to betray your own good conscience, 
and you choose to keep on lying to yourself, 
just remember that Mike told you that YOU are the problem. 
You are a disgrace to the evolution of consciousness, 
all that is True and Wholy, and above all, yourSELF. 
We need to STOP betraying ourselves and make room for the cultivation 
of courage, integrity, and strength. Because you can't be both. 
You can not expect to be courageous and strong while at the same time 
betraying your own good conscience. 
Integrity does not work like that. 
And if you believe it does you're fooling yourself. 
So, here's the link:

Filter Free Amerika Podcast - Natural Law & the Sovereign Citizen Movement

I was asked to be a guest about a month ago on the Filter Free Amerika Podcast. 
Host Joey Vincent and co-host, retired cop aspiring stand-up comedian, Chuck Gollop. 
A couple of very nice fellows who were very patient with me.


Natural Law is not a "belief system". It is an art and it is a science. The effects of natural law can be demonstrated using the scientific method, but most importantly, the very laws of logic literally rely on it. Natural Law explains all the reasons for suffering in the world and it shows us HOW to correct those problems. Natural Law is literally the Universe's way of governing the free-will choices of conscious beings. It exists to facilitate the growth (through learning from mistakes) and  therefore the expansion (or becoming) of consciousness. Through our free-will decisions, natural law is literally the parameters that keep us in check and tell us "what we can and can not do". 

It is an art because we can learn to master ourselves by obeying the dictates of natural law.
The problem is that hardly anybody has any common sense.
Because to master oneself, one has to take ownership of their every action and stop playing the victim card. The truth is that we create our reality. We do not do this by our thoughts alone, we do this by our ACTIONS we take in the world. Owning up to our mistakes is imperative if we ever expect to be free and that involves taking personal responsibility. People are too easily in the habit of giving away their Rights. They do this because they don't want the personal responsibility of having to answer for themselves if something goes wrong so they abdicate personal responsibility and say, "Here, you do this for me. I don't want the burden of being responsible for that". But the truth is, you are always responsible because you can't really abdicate that responsibility. You will always ultimately pay the price for trying to abdicate the responsibility, like Franklin states: Those who give up their rights (liberty) for safety will lose both. This is the consequence for buying an illusion. You get nothing in return, but you lost you hard earned dough "believing" there was substance. This is natural law!


Many "claim" to have common sense. Common sense is conscience. Conscience is following your intuition, cultivating it, and obeying it. It is the inherent knowledge of the difference between Right and wrong. The majority of people on this planet do not know the difference. And this is so because the very conditions of our society, as a whole, demand we obey the dictates of dogma over our own inherent moral compass. People say that they want freedom, liberty, peace, all virtuous things. But if we really want these things, our conscience MUST be listened to. And these days, we are not listening. 

The foundation of Natural Law rests on knowing your Rights; what you have a Right to do. Simply put, so long as you intend no harm in your action, you have a Right to do ANYTHING. The Founding Fathers KNEW this. This is why they decorated the Constitution and Declaration of Independence in the LANGUAGE of Natural law. This Country was founded on Natural law principles but these principles, like a fresh seed were not watered and they were overgrown by weeds. The weeds naturally grew up in the place of Liberty and our Government kept declaring that these weeds were actually what they were not and the people were skeptical but persuaded through coercion, violence, and intimidation. So we do not have the Government of our founders. We have the Illusion of a supposedly "free" Country based on self-government but this is an illusion. What we have is Feudalism



It's not that natural law is difficult to understand, a 6 year old kid could literally understand this very easily. The problem is that it is not widely known. And that's because nobody is teaching it. Yet, all the symbols of all the mystery schools of the ancient world detail the allegorical story of the result of both obeying natural law and violating it's dictates. The symbols are staring us directly in the face yet we are completely nescient to their hidden translation. We find these on the seal of the united states of America, the street layout of the City Map of Washington D.C., and the Architecture, monuments, and murals within this nation's Capitol


WHO IS OCCULTING INFORMATION?

It is important to recognize that the word "occult" simply means "hidden" and that there is MULTITUDES of knowledge actively being suppressed and this includes not only the wisdom of natural law, the power of our true potential, and the dialectical illusion being played out but also history and current events.Humanity has been (and is) being steered away from understanding certain information that would enable us to make better decisions in our personal lives and in the world around us. 

There has always been a group of people who call themselves "illuminated" who have passed these secrets down through history to their most trusted inner circle initiates. Sometimes their children would inherit this wisdom by default. But as long as there has been rulers in the world, which equates with authoritarians today, this wisdom has been withheld from the masses. A huge priest class was set up hoarding this knowledge and rather than disseminating it freely, which would be the RIGHT thing to do, they used it as leverage against the rest of humanity to increase their personal wealth, power, and CONTROL. As a result, they turned the world into a big farm. 
This priest class has always used it's influence, power, psychology (sorcery), and mind control (black magic) to steer humanity away from discovering the truth. It's ironic how these people are very intelligent, yet can not comprehend that they are reaping what they have sown by being a victim to their own methods. Though these "dark occultists" have planned and schemed far into the future, they have planned for their own enslavement.  
Anthony Sutton, in his book "America's Secret Establishment" exposed the fact that the global elite came to the correct conclusion that to control and manipulate a society for their benefit, they need only control a certain aspect of society. These are:

  • Education (how the future population will behave)
  • Money (the means of holding wealth & exchanging goods)
  • Law (authority to enforce the will of the State)
  • Politics (the direction of the State & economy)
  • History (what people believe happened in the past)
  • Psychology (means of controlling what people think)
  • Philanthropy (so that people admire & think well of the controllers)
  • Medicine (power over health, life, and death)
  • Media (what people know and learn about current events)
  • Continuity (the power to appoint who follows in your footsteps
What this amounts to is the infiltrating and controlling of the power centers of a society. By placing their own people in key positions they could come to control and dominate a society completely and steer it in any direction they choose.

Deceptions have always been taught through all the religions that this priest class set up, they took true concepts, described them allegorically, and then taught the literal translation, the exoteric meaning rather than the esoteric). These people are today the heads of the most powerful ruling elite that you never hear about on cable news channels. These people control everything, but remember this one thing... all the endless trivialities, reality shows, fake news, public schools, laws, codes, statutes, religions, even money are there and exist to further their idea of the world, not yours.. The LAST thing these elitists want is for you to wake up and discover the truth. 

Their biggest fear is that you will come to find the truth and stop complying with their corrupt, out of balance system.  They will keep manipulating you and continue to indoctrinate you about what is "normal". 


THE SCHISM OF THE MIND

The most occulted/ hidden information they want to keep you from involves knowing who you truly are and what power you truly possess. If they can keep you convinced that some people are masters and have a moral obligation to issue commands and that some people are slaves and have the moral obligation to obey those commands then they have played the dialectic game perfectly. The belief in authority outside oneself is a complete and utter lie.
But the sad thing is that most people actually believe that statement above. 
What's even worse is supposed Christians who claim the only authority belongs to God and that only God's dictates are true and just, while actually buying into the whole "voting for a Master to rule society" game when their own Bible, which they do not fully comprehend AT ALL, explicitly states that you can not have two masters. This literally means that you can not hold two contradictory beliefs at the same time.

Then the atheists are just as bad. The whole Universe is governed by law all the way through and they will acknowledge this "objective" Truth. But somehow when you get to Man, there's no natural law governing behavioral consequence. No, Man gets to decide what is Right and what is wrong.., what is True and what is not. They claim there is no objective truth and everything is "subjective". The belief in moral relativism IS a religion. It is the belief that Man is God. This is also cognitive dissonance to the tenth power!!


SO GIVE ME A BREAK! 

The truth is that both Atheists and Religionists are wrong. There either exists a Creator or there doesn't and it can not be both. The truth is that the Universe was created by a creator but it's not what we have been told through the religions or science. The Bible is actually an allegorical handbook describing through very deep metaphor how to expand consciousness and transcend limitation. Natural Law teaches that the Universe is Fractal and self similar across all scales. It is created in particular patterns and it is consciousness itself thst recognizes these patterns of behavior. The society we're in is so ingrained, indoctrinated, and closed off that "scientism" has a monopoly on what they deem to be "truth". And right now, it is widely believed that Right and wrong is only a construct of man's mind. But that is the polar opposite to what the ancient mystery schools taught their highest degrees.The truth is that Right and wrong exist whether man exists or not. Man's place in the Universe is of no significance to whether or not natural law is in operation, it is always in operation and it exists. It governs your actions whether you believe it is or not. 

Our worldview is distorted. Our worldview needs healing. We need to stop lying to ourselves, take responsibility, and act in accord with what is Right. Stop violating other people's Rights and recognize that other people's bodies are not our's to control. We have an inherent responsibility to learn to "control" our own selves. This corresponds to the parable of removing the stick from your own eye before you start trying to remove toothpicks from the eyes of others. Being thoughtful that what goes around comes back around, so we treat others how we would desire to be treated. We have to start caring. Care is the main ingredient to success. You cultivate the ambition to care about the Truth through the use of our will. We force ourselves to care. We stop forcing others and begin forcing OURSELVES to move in the Right direction. That's TRUE Care.


SO HOW DO WE KNOW THE TRUTH? 

Conscience is the internal guiding system humanity is blessed with having. It is literally your compass to living in the Right. Police and Military side swipe their consciences by following orders from their masters. Police make all kinds of justifications and excuses as to why they follow through with immoral orders but there is no legitimate excuse. Justifications for burying the conscience are null and void. As it is the conscience itself that will direct us toward what is moral, right, justified, and true. The Ancient Mystery traditions considered the conscience the home dwelling of the Higher self. To sell your soul means to disobey your conscience.

The Spiritual realm and the physical realm exist simultaneously. Natural law is all about changing our current state of ignorance into another state of knowledge. It is transmuting that which is erroneous and making it Right. It's called the Law of Cause and Effect. 
The Law of Cause and Effect is omnipresent across all scales, both in the Macrocosm and the microcosm. So not only does it govern the whole Universe, it governs all the individual parts that comprise the whole as well. And guess what? We're one of the individual parts. We are not separate from nature, we are a part of it. 
The spiritual realm is the realm of causation and the physical realm is the realm of effects. If you don't like the effects you keep getting, you can only change them in the realm of causation. It's like if you want to kill a tree you have to strike at the root. The same principle applies here.


To get right with reason means that we can no longer afford to be an ignorant nation. We need to start paying attention and taking ACTION in the world to turn this system upside down. If we want to stop the corruption, we must stop complying. It's that simple.There are very powerful forces out there banking off of us while we're unwittingly goofing off at the club, or sitting around watching football. We can not afford to put our defenses down and TRUST this government. They are not there to benefit us, they are there to benefit their corporate fascist friends. 

I'm including here some links that will enable you to build yourself up relatively quickly. The information is so dense that you can learn this in no time at all. What i am including is the MOST occulted information the world over. There is no more coveted information in the world than
what I am sharing here. This is the stuff that will arm you into being a Man or Woman of action. It will break the mind control that makes you passive and grow you a set of balls (you too ladies). If you need to get a hold of me, send me an email and I will help you.. michaelabyss@gmail.com

MARK PASSIO'S "THE SOLUTION: PART ONE

Now, here is an excellent explanation of how consciousness expresses, 
how our brains function, and how our emotions SHOULD be cultivated to 
operate within the parameters of their TRUE design, that of a moral compass. 

This essay is called 
written by 

What Is Consciousness?

Most people, when asked what Consciousness is, will reply that it is the state of being awake. That is most certainly true, for that it is. But when people reply with this answer, they are almost always talking about the state of being physically awake. This is not the kind of Consciousness we're talking about here. For one could be physically awake and still be largely or totally unconscious in their overall awareness. 

If we consult a standard dictionary of encyclopedia, we find that Consciousness is commonly defined as "the characteristics of a being generally regarded to comprise qualities such as subjectivity, self-awareness, sentience, sapience, and the ability to perceive the relationship between oneself and one's environment."

Subjectivity means one's own perceptions of one's existence. Self-awareness means that one is able to ponder and comprehend the fact that one is actually aware of one's own characteristics and perception - being aware that you are aware, so to speak. Sentience is the capability of having perceptions and feelings. Sapience is discernment or wisdom - the ability to know that some things are more desirable than others if a particular condition or outcome is preferred.

This definition of Consciousness does an overall good job of accurately describing the condition. But we could express the basic definition of what Consciousness actually is in a more concise and simplistic way. Keeping in mind and building upon the popular dictionary definition, one could say that at its essence, Consciousness is the ability of a being to recognize patterns and meaning with respect to events taking place, both within oneself and in the external realm in which the self exists and operates.

This ability is the fundamental driving force of all Creation. It could be said that all of Creation itself IS Consciousness in various forms and states of awareness. Consciousness is required for matter to exist. Consciousness creates the observable effects we perceive in our world. Everything that exists in the seemingly "external" domain first exists as a construct in Consciousness before becoming manifested through form.

Consciousness, or the lack thereof, is the agency responsible for the conditions in which we find ourselves, in all times and all places. It is responsible for the current conditions of Earth and all the people and animals living upon this planet. Almost anyone who is asked the question "Do you think that things are perfect just the way they are going on this planet?" will respond "No" and say that they think that things could, and should, be much better compared to the way things currently are. Yet, while most are aware that something is not quite right with what is going on here, few people can cut to the core of the problem and recognize it for what it is that causes all the suffering and negativity human beings seem to perpetually experience on Earth.

The root of all the problems we experience, indeed of all the problems humanity has ever experienced, lies in the Consciousness of the individual human beings alive on this planet at any given time. Our apparent inability to alleviate our suffering, brought about by the manifestation of these problems, is always caused by one thing: an imbalance in Consciousness which leads to a diminution in conscious awareness. The less Consciousness we have, the less we recognize the patterns of behavior and event which lead to suffering. When we work to increase our Consciousness, we develop more of the ability to recognize patterns which lead to negative results, and we therefore become more capable of avoiding negative outcomes and creating positive results and conditions.

The purpose of our collective existence is to steadily increase our conscious awareness until we can master our ability to develop sapience, the ability to make correct conscious choices, utilizing proper discernment, to bring about positive effects, conditions, and relationships in our world. This process is the goal of the spiritual journey and the manifestation of the Will of Creation. It is the Evolution of Consciousness.

At the current time in which we live, humanity has arrived at a critical point in this evolutionary journey. Human beings simultaneously possess (perhaps for the first time in our existence, to this degree) the ability to create a veritable paradise on Earth - in which the suffering of the beings of this world could be virtually eliminated once and for all - and the ability to destroy not only all human life, but the lives of every living thing on the entire planet. One situation is miraculously promising, the other incredibly horrific. The fact that they both exist in simultaneous juxtaposition with each other certainly makes the time in which we are living quite interesting and exciting.

While these two potentialities are competing with each other, so in fact is the increase and decrease in human Consciousness. We are seeing Consciousness growing with amazing acceleration and in greater numbers of human beings than at, perhaps, any other time in history. Side-by-side with this process, we are also seeing the Consciousness or more people hijacked, shut down, and quite possibly destroyed by the forces of Fear and Evil than at any other time in history as well.

What is required to transcend the conditions of suffering in which we currently find ourselves is an increase and acceleration of this process of conscious awareness on the level of the individual, and then on a global level. This global awakening will only take place once enough individuals have made enough conscious change within themselves in order for these energies to spill over into the collective Consciousness of humanity, upon which time this change will accelerate even faster and become habituated.

While it is true that we are going through a dark period before this light of awareness emerges in its full presence, I prefer to see the situation as hopeful rather than bleak. More and more people are becoming Conscious, Aware, and AWAKE. The change in Consciousness, this paradigm shift, IS happening, and nothing can hold it back, for it is our birthright.

When we emerge out of this evolutionary cocoon, our metamorphosis will be complete, and we will awaken to a new day and a new world. The end of the journey will join with a new beginning to complete the circle. And we will truly know ourselves for the first time.

Yin & Yang Energies

A mystical concept derived from Taoism that is extremely relevant in a study of the working of human Consciousness is the idea of the Tao, a balance of polar energies inherent in all Nature. Taoist tradition teaches that if we are able to strike a balance between these polar forces, and harmonize these two competing polarities within ourselves, justice and order will result within and around us. 
Falling prey to a perpetual imbalance of these energies would result in the experience of suffering and chaotic conditions. This makes perfect sense when we understand the properties of these polar energies.

To do this, let's begin by analyzing the basic symbolism of the Tao symbol. It is comprised of a circle, inside of which are two inter-locking swirls, one light and one dark. Inside each swirl is a smaller dot which is the opposite color of the swirl itself. The circle represents all of Creation. A circle is never-ending. It has no beginning or end. It is a perfect shape, as it has no corners, rough edges, angle, or irregularities. Thus it represents God, or Creation itself, the All-That-Is.

The two swirls represent change, of which all Creation is comprised. All that exists is in a constant state of change. All matter passes from form to form in an endless dance of Creation. Life itself is change. Inability to change is the equivalent of death and non-existence. Therefore the two swirls inside the circle represent this ever-changing dance of matter taking place within the whole of Creation. The two dots within each swirl represents the idea that, no matter how deeply into one polarity or the other we may travel, the seed of the opposite energy is always carried within each polarity.

Let's now examine the expressions of the polar energies that comprise the Tao. The light area is called Yang. It represents the following general qualities: Light, Solar, Day, Masculine, Active, Analytical, Dominant, Aggressive, Left-Brain, and Right-Body. The dark area is Yin, which represents the expression of the following qualities: Dark, Lunar, Night, Feminine, Passive, Intuitive, Submissive, Right-Brain, and Left-Body.

A human being's Consciousness is comprised of all of these energies, as is the Cosmos. This is why it may be said that we are created in the image and likeness of God. Neither of these sets of opposing energies should be seen as being all good or all bad. Our Consciousness contains all of them. A balanced and fully-functional Consciousness will contain all of these qualities in balanced proportions. This balance is the essence of the key to mental and physical health, and the ability to think critically and make decisions that will result in prosperity for the individual and society as a whole. When these energies are thrown out of balance, and one begins to severely dominate the other, suffering and chaos are the result.

One of the oldest symbol sets in human antiquity contains many parallels to the concept of the Tao. Known as the Blade and the Chalice, these two symbols also represent the competing masculine and feminine polar energies. The Blade was depicted as an upward-pointing triangle. This served as a rudimentary phallic symbol, representing the solar, masculine, Yang energy. The Chalice was a downward-pointing triangle which represents the feminine womb, calling to mind the qualities of the lunar, feminine, Yin energy.

When these energies are combined in a balanced proportion, a third symbol was used to represent their harmonization. It is the Blade and the Chalice interlocked in the form of a six-pointed star. This symbol later became known as the Seal of Solomon in Judaic, Islamic, Christian and Alchemical mystic traditions. The seal represents the combining and harmonizing of the sacred masculine, or Solar energies with the sacred feminineLunar energies (hence the term "Solomon" - Sun and Moon), to create the "blazing star" of awakened Consciousness. It is only possible for us to exist in balance with our natural environment (which is made of these energies) when these two divine energies are working in unison within ourselves.

This concept of balancing the energies within our Consciousness, so that we harmonize ourselves with the divine proportions of these energies found in Nature, is called the Hermetic Principle. Named after the Greek god Hermes, the Messenger of the Gods, this idea has also been expressed by the adage "As Above, So Below; as Within, So Without." This conveys that that which takes place within our consciousness is reflected without to our perceptual surroundings. If our consciousness exists in balance and harmony, our external conditions will reflect this internal harmony and order. Consciousness thrown out of balance will create chaos and disorder in our external reality.

One can appreciate the simplicity and beauty through which our ancestors depicted these concepts through symbolism. In undertaking the study of this symbolism itself, we begin the task of uniting these opposing polarities within ourselves. Grasping the true meaning of these symbols assists us in this task - a task which is one and the same as our journey of spiritual development and Evolution in Consciousness.



The Threefold Nature of Consciousness

As human beings, we express our Consciousness in three distinct ways. This threefold nature of Consciousness has been referred to in various ways in many spiritual, mystical, and religious traditions throughout time. Some have explained it as Body-Mind-Spirit, while in other circles it has been called the Law of Three. Many traditions have described this aspect of Consciousness as the Holy Trinity - the Divine Father, the Divine Mother, and the Divine Child - symbolic descriptions for the manifestation of three vehicles of expression within one being.

The first way we express our Consciousness is through our Thoughts. In relation to the concept of the Divine Trinity, thoughts could be seen as the Creator God, God the "Father", as it has been termed in Christian traditions. Our thoughts precede all other ways in which our Consciousness manifests, either internally or externally. Everything that comes into manifestation in our external experience first existed at some point in time as a thought in Consciousness. Thoughts in and of themselves are purely non-physical and are not manifested as form in the material realm. They travel as electrical impulses in the synapses of the brain, and they do not arise from any pre-existing material things. Thoughts equate with the Mind in the Body-Mind-Spirit model of Consciousness. After arising within the Mind, our thoughts take on the role of Creator in our observed reality, as they do indeed create that which manifests within us and around us.

Emotions are the second expression of our Consciousness. They could be described as the internal manifestation of the reaction to our thoughts. As an internal expression that is felt within ourselves, emotions relate to the feminine principle of the Tao, the Yin polarity. In the Holy Trinity model, emotions are the Divine Mother, the Sacred Feminine of the Divine Family. In the Body-Mind-Spirit model, emotions are the Spirit, the felt presence of our experiences, which act as a balancing mechanism between our thoughts and our actions. Emotions are felt internally within our bodies through the creation of chemical transmitters produced by our brain and nervous system. This occurs after we have an initial thought about the concept or situation at hand. It is then internalized and felt with the body through the emotions.

It is interesting to note that in the Western Christian tradition, this feminine principle of our Consciousness has been removed from the Trinity and relegated to the genderless Holy "Ghost" or Holy "Spirit," connotatively suggesting that it is deceased, or at the very least, no longer in manifested presence. It has become a "ghost." The recognition of this "downgrading" of the Sacred Feminine aspect of emotion is important to keep in mind while reading further, as we will continue to see this concept symbolically repeated in significance ways in later sections.

The third aspect of the Trinity of Consciousness is our actions. Through our actions, we express our Consciousness in the external material realm in which we exist. Actions could be seen as the Divine Child of the Trinity, as they are the "offspring" of our thoughts and emotions. Actions are naturally equated with the active, masculine principle, the Yang energy of the Tao. To one degree or another, actions, as physical expressions, are carried out with our body. As such, actions are the Body component of the Body-Mind-Spirit model. In the Christian model, actions are the "Son" of God, the product of God the "Father," our thoughts, and the Divine "Mother," our emotions.

The most important thing to keep in mind about this threefold nature of our Consciousness is that it requires unification in order to us to function optimally and experience happiness in our lives. This means is that if these aspects of our Consciousness become imbalanced, they can soon become completely fractured and we will then experience this "tearing apart" of Consciousness through suffering in our lives. This occurs when our thoughts emotions and actions are in contradiction with each other. For example, while we may think and feel a particular way about some aspect of our lives, we may still be persuaded, for whatever reason, to take action that is in disagreement with our thoughts and emotions. This betrayal that takes place within ourselves is called Opposition, for when one component of our Consciousness betrays another, we are in Opposition with ourselves.

The state of balance or harmony between the three aspects of our Consciousness occurs when we have unified our thoughts, emotions, and actions. As we think, so we feel, and so we act. There is no contradiction between the three expressions of our Consciousness. When we live our lives in this mode, suffering begins to diminish and we are imbued with powerful creative and healing energies. This state is the inverse of the state of Opposition. We are no longer in a state of internal betrayal, and therefore this balance is reflected in the external conditions we experience.

The highest form of this state of balanced Consciousness is called Non-Duality, for the three aspects of our Consciousness have become united as one, and are no longer in Opposition with each other. This state of Consciousness has been called by other names such as Buddha ConsciousnessChrist ConsciousnessEnlightenmentAnointingFull Awakening, and many others. Whatever one may call it, it essentially means the same thing - the uniting of yourself, so that your thoughts, emotions and actions do not betray each other. Through the process of uniting the threefold aspect of our Consciousness within ourselves, we pass from Opposition to Non-Duality, and we become one.

The Triune Brain

A basic understanding of the structure of the human brain is necessary, if one truly wishes to understand both the basic dynamics of Consciousness, and the situation in which humanity currently finds itself. The brain is generally recognized as the seat of Consciousness in the body. While I would never claim that Consciousness is limited to the brain, the brain is certainly the organ through which we most directly connect to Consciousness on the physical level.

As we've seen previously, our Consciousness - our means of expression while in physical form - has a threefold natureThoughtsEmotions, and Actions. Just as our Consciousness itself, has a three-in-one nature, so, in fact, does the human brain.

The idea of a threefold brain was proposed in the modern era by American neuroscientist Paul D. MacLean, who correlated human behavioral manifestations with the physiological structures inherent in the brain. His research led to the formulation of a concept now known as the Triune Brain. The Triune Brain model shows that what we generally think of as the human brain is actually three complexes, or three smaller brains that work together as one in order to provide the functions necessary for human survival and expression.

The first of these complexes is the oldest in terms of its evolutionary development. It is the deepest section of the brain, located underneath the larger brain mass. Known as the R-Complex, this part of the brain is comprised of the brain stem and the cerebellum. The R stands for Reptile. This section of the brain has been nicknamed the Reptile Brain due to the fact that the behavioral traits for which it is responsible are most often observed in and associated with reptiles. These include pure survival instinct, direct stimulus-response, fight-or-flight response, competition, aggression, domination, repetition, ritual, and the desire to hoard resources.

These traits are the "base" functions of Consciousness. They are less-than-human, essentially animalistic thoughts and behaviors, which comprise the "lowest" states of awareness and being. It is interesting to note that, physiologically, this complex lies at the "base", or "lowest" part of the brain. Equating the R-Complex to the Holy Trinity model of Consciousness, it would be the punitive, controlling "Father" god described in the Old Testament. As the "Father," or oldest and least advanced part of the brain, the R-Complex is responsible for the male-dominator, animalistic, instinctual, base behavior which many human beings exhibit and experience.

The second complex of the Triune Brain is the Limbic System. It is also called the Mammal Brain because it appears to have developed significantly later in biological evolution that the reptilian R-Complex. It sits on top of the R-Complex, just above the brain stem and cerebellum. Comprised of the hippocampus, the hypothalamus, and the amygdala, the function of Limbic System is to generate and regulate the flow of chemicals and chemical interactions that create our emotionsEmotions are a common mammal trait that is generally lacking in reptiles and lower animals. Reptiles feel pain and undergo basic stimulus-response, but they do not display emotional reactions such as joy, sadness, empathy, etc. The Limbic System acts as a buffer between our thoughts and actions, for it is our emotions which generate feelings within our physiology that make us aware of the impact our actions have upon others.

Emotional traits are of a higher order of Consciousness than the base, reptilian traits displayed through the R-Complex. Without the Limbic System, we would have no capability to experience feelings or empathy for others, and we would be incapable of reeling in damaging and destructive tendencies and actions, whether they are directed toward ourselves or others. In its capacity as a buffer, or balancing agent between thought and action, the Limbic System could be seen as the Sacred Feminine, the Spirit, or the divine "Mother" aspect of Consciousness.

The third and most significant section of the Triune Brian is known as the Neo-cortex. The root "neo" means "new." Also called the Cerebral Cortex, the Neo-cortex is the most recently developed part of the brain in terms of biological evolution. It is the most advanced and ramified (memory-containing) area of the human brain. Physiologically, it sits above both the Limbic System and the R-Complex, and it accounts for the largest area and mass of the whole brain. The Neo-cortex is also called the Human Brain, for it is a structure unique to human beings.

The Neo-cortex is the complex which creates the electrical and chemical interactions that make our higher-order thinking possible. Without the Neo-cortex, we would be incapable of logic, reason, art, music, science, creativity, language, and a host of other skills and traits which are the defining characteristics of being Human. The Neo-cortex provides us with the ability to engage in thought functions that individuate us from the animal kingdom. Using these features as a frame of reference, we could now equate the Neo-cortex to the divine "Child" of the Trinity. It is the "new," or "young" part of the brain, the symbolic "Child," or "Son" of the R-Complex and Limbic System. Since the Neo-cortex makes possible our "highest" forms of thought and expression, it is also interesting to note that it is also the "highest" part of the brain in physical position.

When it is working properly, the Neo-cortex is designed to function as the executive control center of the brain. Some scientists have referred to the Neo-cortex as the CEO of the brain complex, as its proper functioning serves to regulate the activities taking place in both the R-Complex and Limbic System. To understand how these command-and-control functions of the Neo-cortex work, we must examine the structure of the Neo-cortex itself.

The Neo-cortex is structurally divided into two halves which form the left and right brain hemispheres. The left brain hemisphere is responsible for our capability to engage in analytical thought, verbal and written communication, logic, reason, mathematics, and science. The right brain hemisphere makes different types of activities and traits possible, such as intuition, empathy, creative expression, art, music, and holistic thought. Just as we have seen earlier in the Yin and Yang model of Consciousness, these sets of traits are neither all good nor all bad. A balanced person should contain a well-rounded mix of all of these aspects of Consciousness.

If, by whatever means, a person's Neo-cortex may become significantly imbalanced toward one brain hemisphere or the other, the Neo-cortex, as a whole complex, will cease to function as the executive control center of the brain. This means that it will stop regulating the processes that take place in both the R-Complex and the Limbic System. Upon having reached this state of brain dysfunction, the executive control functions of the brain will them be downgraded, and turned over to either the R-Complex or the Limbic System, depending on the nature of the original imbalance.

If the nature of brain imbalance favors the left brain hemisphere, the Neo-cortex gives up its regulatory functions, the Limbic System ceases to provide emotional balance between thought and action, and the R-Complex begins to dominate the whole brain system. This type of imbalance then results in a being who operates out of Reptilian Consciousness and desires to dominate and control everyone around them. A being suffering from this type of brain dysfunction would exhibit behavioral traits such as domination, obsession, greed, hoarding, incessant desire to control, compulsive tendencies, total lack of concern for others, aggression, sadism, and unprovoked violence. It is easy to recognize this type of brain dysfunction in our modern social climate, for this type of dominator imbalance is nearly everywhere in our society.

The second type of brain imbalance, toward the right brain hemisphere, results in the executive control of the brain being shunted to the Limbic System. This results in a state of Victim Consciousness in which the person can no longer control what is taking place within themselves, and essentially become ruled by out-of-control emotions. The R-complex ceases to provide functions related to basic survival instinct and a different set of undesirable traits manifest themselves. These states include nervousness, paranoia, lack of self worth, submission, guilt, fear, masochism, depression, and even suicidal tendencies. We see that these types of personality traits are also overly-abundant in our society.

I will explain later how these type of imbalances are being influenced and encouraged by those who desire to suppress the collective Consciousness of humanity in order to promote and solidify their own ruthless self-gain and domination. I will also explore the methodologies they have developed to create the imbalance necessary to shut down the proper operation of the seat of Consciousness itself, the human brain. The leaders of our culture are, in fact, deliberately breeding these traits in people. Through the growing imbalance taking place between the two hemispheres of the brain, the people of Earth are being made into two types of polarized, imbalanced creatures: dominators and those willing to capitulate to domination - in other words, slave owners and slaves.

Once we start to become aware of this manipulation taking place, we can begin to work toward the healing of the hemispheres of our brain, and by extension, the healing of the aspects of our Consciousness. This healing will come about through the creation of balance. Only through achieving a balance between the two hemispheres of the human brain can we develop a state of higher awareness and Consciousness. The brain, as a microcosm within the body, is a reflection of the macrocosm of which all matter and energy of Creation is comprised. They both function the same way - through a balance between opposing polarities. The path to healthy brain function is one-and-the-same as the path to higher Consciousness.

Only that Path of Balance can lead us out of our collective state of imbalance, the force that creates Chaos and Suffering.

Traveling the Path of Balance creates OrderPeace, and ultimately, Freedom from suffering.

The Two Basic Polarities

There are only two forces at work in all of Creation. These two Polarities have always been continuously struggling against each other. One of these forces is the force which expands Consciousness and awakens parts of the Creation to the understanding and realization of itself. This could be seen as the Light force, for it attempts to make things known, bring them into the Light, and reveal the Truth. The other force is that which attempts to shut Consciousness down and keep the parts of the Creation in ignorance of itself. This could be seen as the Dark force, which attempts to shut out the Light of knowledge and to keep us in a state resembling sleep, in which we are unconscious to Truth.

At an even simpler level, we could look at these Polarities as feelings. We really only ever experience two basic feelings. One is a good feeling and one is a bad feeling. Every other possible state of emotion is simply a different expression of these two basic feelings. If we boil it down to its essence, there are really only two possible emotions, or forces of Polarity, that we are capable of experiencing.

This inherent duality that we experience in and around ourselves is not chance or accident. It is done by the design of Creation. Creation is OnenessNon-Duality. Think about it this way: if there is only one thing, how would that state of Oneness ever really be able to know itself unless it experienced that which it is not? There is no hot without cold, no light without dark, no good without evil, and so on. So Creation brought one of these Polarities into manifestation in order to know itself - through the process of understanding what it is not. This means that ultimately, one of the two Polarities is an illusion.

In his famous experiments with water, Dr. Masaru Emoto discovered that by placing water in the presence of the "good" Polarity for certain periods of time, then photographing the water molecules under high magnification, the molecules took on a beautiful, harmonious, and orderly arrangement. When he placed the very same water in the presence of the opposing Polarity, or "bad" emotion, the molecule structure broke down and became a chaotic, disorderly mess.

The first Polarity is the force that creates harmony and order, brings Light to the darkness, and expands Consciousness and awareness of the Self. It is the Polarity of LoveLove is the good Polarity or emotion, which uplifts humanity in its evolution toward knowledge, wisdom, and TruthThe expansion of Consciousness through Love leads to all the positive states, or "good" feelings, which we are capable of experiencing, including harmony, peace, health, safety, and order.

The second force is the Polarity which creates chaos and destruction in its wake. This Polarity is the force of FearFear is the essence of negative emotion which leads to all other expressions of negativity, or "bad" feelings, which we experience, including hatred, intolerance, insecurity, depression, and a host of others. Fear shuts down Consciousness and perpetually strives to stop the Light of Truth from reaching us and having an effect in our lives.

These two basic Polarities of the essence of all other feelings and experiences. In every moment, we are choosing the experience of either Love or Fear, through our own Free Will.

Each of these 
Polarities have an internal manifestation and an external manifestation. This means that each Polarity expresses itself within an individual's Consciousness in a certain way. Upon having reached this internal manifestation, each Polarity then reaches a stage of fulfillment in the external world of the individual.

Let's look at the internal manifestations first.

The internal manifestation of Love occurs when the essence of this Polarity has reached its full expression within an individual. This state of Consciousness could be referred to as Self-Love, or Balance. This individual has united his or her Self through Will and self-control. I refer to this expression of Love as Dominion, for the individual has obtained the state of ruler-ship of his or her own base instincts and is operating out of a healed and balanced mode of Consciousness. A being in a state of Dominion rules the Kingdom of the self. This type of ruler-ship is real, it is not an Illusion, for it has been created by an act of WillDominion is, therefore, true Self-Love.

The internal manifestation of the Polarity of Fear occurs when Fear has invaded the Consciousness of an individual. It then immediately begins to destroy that being's capacity to recognize patterns and formulate effective responses. This state of unconsciousness is known as ConfusionConfusion is the highest manifestation of Fear that occurs within an individual being. Confusion is the exact opposite state as Dominion, for when people become confused, they are owned by their own emotional turbulence and imbalance. They are not in Dominion, for they can never rule the Kingdom of self while in a state of Confusion. As such, Confusion is the beginning of the destruction of the Self.

Now let's examine the external 

manifestations of Love and Fear.
When Love, or in other words, expanded states of awareness resulting in Dominion, has achieved its fullest expression within a group of individuals, a condition results in the external world around them. This condition is the highest expression that Love attains in the external realm of the individual. This condition is FreedomFreedom is the highest attainment of the spiritual quest. The quest for Freedom and the quest for the Divine are one and the same. Any so-called spiritual ideology that does not speak of Freedom in this manner is a false spiritual teaching. LoveFreedom, and the Divine the same thing. Anyone that claims to be a spiritual teacher and doesn't speak to the Truth of that statement is either a charlatan or a liar, or both.

Since the Divine is the embodiment of perfect Love, it must also allow perfect Freedom. This is why there is no direct intercession on the behalf of the Divine in our world. The Will of the Divine for us is no different than our own Will for us. Whatever we wish to create is allowed by the Divine. That is perfect Freedom, and therefore, perfect Love.

The external manifestation of Fear comes into existences once Fear has created Confusion within the Consciousness of the individuals of a society. Individuals who exist in a vibration of Fear and Confusion cannot recognize patterns of information around them, for they are not operating from the higher thought functions of the Neo-cortex of the brain. This part of the brain is shut down, and these type of individuals operate in severely imbalanced states of Consciousness dictated largely by the R-Complex of the brain. Since they are deeply in Fear and greatly confused, they revert to attempting to control event and people around themselves. And thus the descent into Chaos begins. For Control is the highest expression of Fear manifested into external reality. Control is an illusion. It is not actually real, for no one is in fact in control of anything or anyone. Anyone who believes that they are in external control of anyone else are actually in very deep states of illusion. Since Control is based on Confusion and Fear, it leads to nothing but dark and negative emotions and experiences for all individuals who partake in this illusion.

This is simply how Natural Law works. Love (higher Consciousness) leads to Dominion (self-control), which in turn leads to Freedom, which produces more Love and more ConsciousnessFear (the shutdown of Consciousness) leads to Confusion (no pattern-recognition), which in turn leads to the desire to Control, which breeds more Fear and Confusion. Both Polarities build cycles upon themselves. One of the PolaritiesLove, is clearly very good for us. The other, Fear, creates nothing but destruction in its wake.

It is impossible to create the results of one of these Polarities by adding to it the essence of the opposite Polarity. For example, it is impossible to create Freedom, which is a result of the Polarity of Love, by adding Fear and Control to any situation or set of circumstances. Conversely, a society with Control as its foundation could never result in Freedom and Love. That is just how it works, and the people of this planet will either choose to understand this simple set of principles, or they will destroy themselves through their lack of understanding and ignorance of these principles. It is really that simple.

Our present situation is that our planet is currently trapped in repeating cycles of Fear, resulting in tremendous amounts of suffering, because the people of this world have been raging against Creation by refusing to learn the core lesson that Fear is an illusionFear was created so that the Creation could come to know itself for what it really is - pure Love.

Though most of us may still exist within this trap of Fear, our world is in the process of waking up from this illusion. And when the Consciousness of this world does fully awaken - and it Will - that will be the day Fear dies, and with it Confusion and Control will leave this world forever.

Direction: Our Guidance System

Direction
 is quite a simple concept. It simply refers to the concept of whether we are going toward or away from that which is true, and therefore that which is good for us in our lives. This dynamic applies to us individually and collectively. When we are headed in the right direction, our lives begin to flow without strife and opposition. When we are misguided, headed in the wrong direction to that which is good and true, we suffer. It really is that simple.

The way to determine our directional heading in life is equally simple. We only need to ask ourselves a couple basic questions and make a few basic observations. These are the following:

  • Individually and collectively, are we moving toward the expression of the Polarity of Love, (expanded Consciousness and Awareness) and therefore toward GoodnessOrder and Truth, or are we moving deeper into the expression of the Polarity of Fear (the contraction and shutdown of Consciousness), and therefore toward Evil and Chaos?
  • Based on our available knowledge of ourselves and the world in which we live, we must make an honest appraisal of where we stand as a whole. From where have we come? Where are we now? Where are we headed?
  • We must realize the significance of understanding our true origins. An accurate understanding of the past can greatly help us to orient our direction for the future.
  • Most important and significant of all, our very Compass for Direction, our moral compass, is our Emotions, the Sacred Feminine of the Triune aspect of the Self. We should never seek to numb out our Emotions, for they are the bridge between our Thoughts and our Actions, and as such they are a buffer between what we think about ourselves and others, and the subsequent behavior that we enact into the world. Quite simply, our emotions are the most important determining factor to the type of world we are creating. Our Emotions serve as our moral and Directional Compass in life. We are meant to feel our Emotions deeply, and integrate them into our experiences of daily living.
Keeping these factors in mind and answering the questions posed above with complete honesty is, in point of fact, the methodology we should employ in order to determine our Direction, as individuals and as a species.
