Responsibility

Attributing the origin of evil to Satan is just a denial of our own responsibility.

This responsibility is a natural consequence of our interest, conscious or unconscious, in the kingdom of the Father.

Why worry?

Why worry, eh ?

Funnily enough it's not like 2012 is supposed to be linked with THE END OF THE WORLD, or THE APOCALYPSE, or  THE ARMAGEDDON ...

We better get busy with some more important news, like the Stock Market and APPL share reaching 600$.

Or who is going to be the next candidate for presidency, or that the ending of Mass Effect 3 really sucks.

No, we're not doomed, at all ; surely the medias would warn us, surely all the tax money we pay are invested in research and development program to prevent such disasters to happen...

Lilith

Last week I stumbled upon a video lecture where 2 guys were discussing over Female Illumati and they had a  theory which was a bit "peculiar" ...

According to them in ancient times (50,000-30,000 BC ?!) women (Eva) would have conspired with "aliens" to eradicate men (Adam) - and this was the logical explanation of the root prejudice between men and women ...

This sound very serious and all, but ... really?!

The conventional Genesis story - is already quite against the women, (because of her original disobedience, Adam and Eve were cast out of heaven).

Now there is another unknown person who was also there (and wasn't a speaking reptile (or was she ?!)) - that is Lilith ; Lilith was female of different nature (!?) and she wasn't serving Adam or willing to.

Which corroborates the theory cited above, Lilith was not like Adam (Human) ... what was she then ... a demoness (!?) of alien nature (?!)

Some answer can be found on another blog :

Lilith — A Sexual Woman | THE 2012 VORTEX:

Separating these three – sex, spirituality, power – leads to the disaster we are currently living.

The Amazon Named Lilith–A Saturnine Woman | THE 2012 VORTEX:

And yet, it is quite commonly known that beneath the surface of depression lies rage – an anger repressed to such an extent that it has become truly frightening. If a person really wants to recover, heal himself or herself, become ‘un-depressed’ – they must experience their rage.

Which tend to demonstrate that Lilith was indeed superior (?!) to Adam, which spiritually wasn't very awake, or wasn't either a gentleman with the fair-sex (honestly, Adam appears a bit like Homer Simpsons).

But he was strong physically, which was a good attribute for being a hard working (slave).

It's really funny though that whether these theories, legends, conspiracies are true or not, we have to put so much efforts in covering the ultimate conclusion that as men and women we have to put our differences aside, if we want to live (survive) on the same planet.

Is that really that difficult ?! apparently it is...

Worlds of ideas

Last night I was wondering what was an "idea", and I funnily thought that in some ways "ideas" are like entities - separate beings.

Ideas are elusive, you get them while you're trying to fall asleep, and they'll be forgotten the next morning. Sometime different people have the same idea at the same time.

Idea are contagious too, you can receive or transmit them during conversation with other people.

Some are playful, you think you have a lot of ideas in your heads, but as soon as you get a notepad and are ready to write them down, you realize they're gone.

Ideas are living around us, and ... while I thought that it all made sense, and even if that was funny ; because nobody (I know) would think that way. I discovered later that in fact the philosopher Plato had a theory on that. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theory_of_forms

Rudolf Steiner goes even further by saying that your thinking process is no more than eyes to see ideas.

"Thinking ... is no more and no less an organ of perception than the eye or ear. Just as the eye perceives colors and the ear sounds, so thinking perceives ideas."

That made my day ---

Rudolf Steiner - How to Know Higher Worlds: We live and act within a world whose deeper aspects are hidden from our physical senses. Yet each of us possesses other faculties which, when cultivated, can lift the veil that separates us from spiritual knowledge

Apocalypse Now

I keep hearing the same mind puzzling sentence that "Time doesn't exist".

Because we ultimately live in the Now - the past is just a memory and the future isn't yet, so there is just the present moment ... the NOW!

Time is like a river and when you point your finger in the flow of the river, your finger represents the NOW, future events will cross it, and past events are gone.

Which is pretty mind blowing, because unless you have taken photos or videos of your past, past only exists through your memories. If you watch a movie like "Memento" this concept is played quite astutely.

But that means that if all memories are somehow distorted, then the past is also changed.
With a grim consequence : If you can't remember the past, you're about to make the same mistakes over and over.

But what's the benefits of being in the NOW!?
Assuming you don't pay attention to the past (as if that was possible) and you certainly don't worry about the future, because it doesn't exist yet.

The main benefit is a precious peace of mind.
Accepting "What is"

What is sin?

Food for thoughts : What is sin ?

I've read somewhere that "sin" means to be out of center - can't really remember where it was though.
That means being out of the life's flow.

Assuming that everyone knows what he's supposed to do in life, (being truly free - with no fear or ignorance, no unnecessary pressure from the outside world (that being advices, threat, craving, habits,  not being under the influence of anything ...)) a person then acts in the life's flow.

There couldn't be sin in what he does, because he's in total accord for his action he chooses. His actions makes perfect sense - this person is in the Now, present, fully aware and responsible for what he does.

Finding Balance

Food for thoughts

Stop searching for what's wrong, start searching for what's right. Stop pointing out the problems, start finding solutions. Why focusing on the adversity, instead of building friendship?

Life is a sandbox

Why choosing to worry, instead of finding inner peace?
Accepting the moment.

Eckhart Tolle: Finding Balance | The [Occupy] 2012 Scenario:

It all starts with the present moment, and your relationship with the present moment. Friend or enemy? Are you allowing it, or are you fighting it, resisting it? That’s the end of ego – because the ego needs resistance. The ego survives through complaining, it survives through denying, or wanting something else.

Cosmic proportion

Everybody seems to freak out lately because of the current Solar Flares happening mid-march 2012 -- But there is a corollary effect involving Earth Magnetic field.

If you've seen the movie "The Core" you may have had a little introduction on what could happen (obviously with added Hollywood exaggeration and drama) but the idea is that Earth is protected by a Force Field and this Shield is generated by the Earth's magnetism.

Now the fact that the Sun is spitting something onto us has been discussed over and over during history and it involved a lot of changes coming...

What If Earth's Magnetic Poles Flip? | Scientists Discuss the Effects of a Geomagnetic Field Reversal | LiveScience: The last reversal happened 780,000 years ago during the Stone Age, and indeed there's evidence to suggest the planet may be in the early stages of a pole reversal right now.

But should we really fear this event? What will actually happen when north-pointing compasses make a 180-degree turn toward Antarctica? Will the continents tear themselves apart, or are we in store for much more mundane changes?

I-Ching

I recently discovered the I-Ching, but really I don't understand how to ask and how it works ... The I-Ching was mentioned in a post about Terence McKenna - where it was used to forecast the future.

The Book of Changes:

I've used it to develop the direction of a novel (please reserve your comments for Yandro, if you will). Jung used it with patients to get around their psychological blind spots. Leibnitz based his binary system on it, the open-and-shut-gate idea, if not his entire philosophy of monadology . . . for what that's worth.

Then I found this Philip K. Dick interview that gives some more clues
