Dog Poet Transmitting.......
I know there are many people, especially in the organized religions, who imagine they are going to some Heaven, upon their departure from this plane of existence. The more and more pronounced materialism gets, the more backwards and upside down the general understanding and values trend. The body is the least important aspect of our being and that part most celebrated, in time of material darkness, which is why sybaritic and hedonistic behavior becomes so pervasive. When a culture reaches a certain stage, it begins to kill itself. It commits suicide. I've seen no exceptions to this. The way it usually kills itself, is through excess, dissipation, sexual perversity and chemical poisoning. Aberrant and undisciplined lifestyles result in epidemic health concerns and it is all round to be seen.
Paracelsus said;
“there is a great distance between the power that removes the invisible causes of disease and which is magic and that which causes merely external effects to disappear and which is Physic, Sorcery and Quackery.”
Many will quibble about his use of 'magic'. What he means by this term is not what it is generally understood to mean, in these times.
Disease is not natural and one must become diseased in their mind for it to take place. Health is, at all times, an indication of harmony in the body(s). Spiritual and psychological causes are at the root of all maladies. Present day practitioners of medicine are as misinformed and deluded as at any time previously. The native witch-doctor is more in tune with the essentials of healing than is your generic MD. The witch-doctor knows about the curative power of the mind and his mumbo jumbo routines are directed at awakening that power. It can be an eyeopening experience when one delves a little deeper into primitive modalities. The use of sound and color in the healing arts was well known to the ancients but all of these techniques were purged from the common mind long ago. Now the science is adapted to the profit of the practitioners.
Just as both disease and healing are products of the mind, so are Heaven and Hell. You do not depart anywhere when you leave here, except to a place that you already are. You are that Heaven or Hell you envision. What changes upon death is that the physical body is no longer the medium of experience. Thoughts and feelings become actual things on The Other Side. This is a wonderful Truth for some and the worst possible result for others. A little thought invested in speculation upon what is implied here, will produce some startling insights.
You are a vibration and you will gravitate (literally) to kindred spirits. If you were a combative and disagreeable person while you were here, you will find yourself at a gathering of like entities. Whatever the greater part of you was invested in is going to materialize around you. The physical locations of Earth, transform into astral provinces called Lokas. According to Vedic tradition we are in bhu-loka here BUT not everyone is. Some who are resident here are actually resident in higher locations, even though they appear to be here. Tradition holds that there are seven lokas above the one we inhabit (temporarily) here and seven lokas below. The higher ones are populated by divine beings and other luminous entities. The soul provides its own light. The lower levels are populated by demons and adversaries. Every single one of us will find out if what is said here is true. Maybe it's not. Even though all the informed sources about what awaits hereafter are more or less in agreement; only differing in descriptive detail... maybe they are all wrong. It's possible. It's highly unlikely but... it's possible.
Some of the planes of being are more composed of feeling. At a higher level it is a mental plane and thoughts predominate and... there are also locations above that. The Tibetan Wheel of Life gives a particular graphic of the entire.
There are more versions of that than you will ever desire to see. Of course, each tradition will out picture the details of the realm, according to its own flavor. Suffice to say that there are planes of being that are rarefied beyond any possibility of description. Only experience is equal to the task. There are also locations that are darker and more frightening than can be accurately described. It might be useful to point out that there are people in all of these locations at this very moment. Here's what can happen if you stay in any position too long. (grin)
On the other side... you feel things and you think things into being. Once again, this can be very good or very bad. If one is capable of objective awareness, concerning both sides of life, from the physical to the non physical, to the physical and then the non-physical, again and again and again, round and round and round, it will become profoundly clear that control of the mind and the origin of feeling should be the PRIMARY CONCERN of everyone. If you can accomplish this... and people have and people will, you can write your own ticket at every level of the dance. This is my own personal target of attention, that and the permanent opening of the heart to express The Great Love.
It is truly stated that Heaven is a state of mind. Heaven begins where your feet touch the Earth. We hardly study or look more deeply into the people all around us, unless we want something from them. They are incidental features of the environment. We give even less attention to looking more deeply into ourselves. IF we were so moved, we would discover and learn remarkable truths. Unfortunately, in times of Material Darkness, all of our attention is on externals and it is filtered through the lens of our desires and appetites; pedestrian trivialities. Not only can we find Heaven within but... we can share it with one another. It's not mentioned much in these times because the press of the overlords upon our consciousness is directed toward submission and control. They care not a bit for our greater awakening. Thankfully, the force of the apocalypse is much greater than the transitory controls they have exercised for too long. Their day is at hand.
Here are a couple of brief but delightful forays into American culture from bygone times. No doubt both of these would be sneered at as White Privilege now. Look at the beauty of the faces and the light that somehow transmits now and again.
Of course, some of it is also funny and some awkward and embarrassing; that's life.
If a person were to put the greater portion of their attention upon the indwelling Lord of All Things, after a preliminary period of testing, they would find that our awareness begins to elevate progressively, into finer and finer planes of being but it is next to impossible to tell anyone about it and even harder to get them to pay attention. There is something in the human mind that rebels against the promise of its own freedom and when the liberator arrives, often enough, they will entangle their arms round the bars of their cell to avoid being freed. One can ONLY leave the tracks of their passage, as a guide, should anyone ever be moved to inquire afterwards and... that does happen; tracks were left for me and I am grateful beyond expression for that.
Such a paradise of never ending bliss and joy is available for the intrepid voyager who sticks to their course. It should be noted that those who miss after almost winning, should have known what was involved from the beginning. It takes everything. Otherwise... seriously, don't bother. The sad truth is that you give up nothing of importance and don't miss it once it is gone. In many cases you hardly lose anything anyway, because you had no great investment in it. It is only when it painfully tears at the separation-line that you need to have a clue what that means.
The most basic human drive is the one for Freedom. It is greater than any other and the liberator is one's own true self, now concealed beneath the overlay of the deception of appearances. It is as if one put a mirror out of doors and left it there. In no great amount of time, enough dust would cover it that the image could not be seen. One source says 60 tons, another says 100. I had heard it was 400 tons of dust that lands on the Earth every day. Hell is oft associated with heat. This implies objects/matter pressed together. Compression creates heat. Look to the cities for your metaphors. Heaven is associated with a wide expanse, like that of the physical heavens. It should come as no surprise who resides in the Himalayas and who resides in NYC, Beijing, Mexico City and New Delhi.
Love is an ever expansive force. It is an ever refining force. It is an ever liberating force. God is the source of Love and he takes human form at regular intervals to set existence right, after it has gone sideways. Love charges every particle of your being. Let us say that it can do so. You can, through the power of Love, transform your body into a body of light. You have one already.
I've wandered the dirty streets of this world and I've fallen into the murk and tasted its many corruptions. No mas!!! No mas!!! The thrill is gone. I've no attraction for it anymore. It's been burned out. The radiant splendor of the almighty lies before us all, once we have had our fill of carrion and dead bodies; once we have tasted the Ambrosia of the Gods, all terrestrial comestibles pale by comparison. I look back upon my own reckless nature and the ignorance of my behavior in times past and can only shake my head.
Here is what modern culture has reduced its resident to.
If people knew what wonders lay within, they would give it all the intensity of passion they could garner to the task. I am daily astounded by the synchronicity that manifests when one comes into harmonic accord with their own true nature. Real magic, the divine magic of life itself, stripped of all artifice and deception, blooms in every moment where before it passed unseen. How does one possibly express the beauty that is everywhere to be found? One is rendered mute. One can only watch and experience in silent appreciation and it gets better, can get better, with every passing moment.

You'll find me often enough at Pocketnet and it bears checking because I've added four or five postings in the last few days that did not make it into the blogs. Here is one of them. To find my work there you simply put 'visible' in the search engine. So... if you are of a mind, join Pocketnet.

Ahh what sweetness and peace.
the morphic resonance here is strong
As painful as this may be for you, stupid questions, snarky questions, questions designed to annoy and generally waste my time are not permitted here and ESPECIALLY when they are anonymous. I suspect the one I did let through was the product of the same source but since it's ambiguity makes it a pointless exercise I can let it pass.
Why anyone who comments here thinks that any comment that is outside the pale is going to remain with me beyond the moment I flush it... Hmmm. I am simply not affected by any of it; been there done that.
On the slim, nearly incomprehensible possibility that the one comment about one being inherently evil... You have to define inherent. No one is at their most refined core, evil. Everyone and everything is part of God and playing a temporary role, be that good bad or indifferent. Sometimes God appoints friends of his to play an evil role. Why God does what God does is a pointless speculation. God does things sometimes simply because it amuses him. He doesn't need a reason for anything, nor does he/she have to explain himself whatsoever.
Franz Delitzch:
The tree of knowledge was to lead man to the knowledge of good and evil; and, according to the divine intention, this was to be attained through his not eating of its fruit. This end was to be accomplished, not only by his discerning in the limit imposed by the prohibition the difference between that which accorded with the will of God and that which opposed it, but also by his coming eventually, through obedience to the prohibition, to recognize the fact that all that is opposed to the will of God is an evil to be avoided, and through voluntary resistance to such evil, to the full development of the freedom of choice originally imparted to him into the actual freedom of a deliberate and self-conscious choice of good. By obedience to the divine will he would have attained to a godlike knowledge of good and evil, i.e. to one in accordance with his own likeness to God. He would have detected the evil in the approaching tempter; but instead of yielding to it, he would have resisted it, and thus have made good his own property acquired with consciousness and of his won free-will, and in this way by proper self-determination would gradually have advanced to the possession of the truest liberty. But as he failed to keep this divine appointed way, and ate the forbidden fruit in opposition to the command of God, the power imparted by God to the fruit was manifested in a different way. He learned the difference between good and evil from his own guilty experience, and by receiving the evil into his own soul, fell a victim to the threatened death. Thus through his own fault the tree, which should have helped him to attain true freedom, brought nothing but a sham liberty of sin, and with it death, and that without any demoniacal power of destruction being conjured into the tree itself, or any fatal poison being hidden in its fruit.
Materialists seem to be hungry ghosts not yet 'dead'. (Undead until they get over it?) And it's interesting what you wrote about the Lokas, and what we call 'Sub-Level 7', being the realm of the psychopath. Nice read before my afternoon nap.
Vis, a truth-filled column. Thanks!
Vis: "No one is at their most refined core, evil. Everyone and everything is part of God and playing a temporary role, be that good bad or indifferent. Sometimes God appoints friends of his to play an evil role."
I 'see' that all the time via Higher Self. A higher entity starts an attack on me; a bad guy. (Bad and good as defined in earlier posts.) HS and Others do a Cleaning. Much wailing and gnashing of teeth (symbolically) later, the bad guy is now a good guy. This is akin to the 'myth' that behind every devil is an angel, clouded-up in some way. Sobering...

This is the hardest thing. We would like to know that there is a 'pattern' in there somewhere. Something that gives our life meaning, or an underlying truth. Perhaps, it is just gaining Experience, and reporting that back via our Souls to all-God. Or perhaps, deciding on whether we prefer some 'side', like helping versus hurting. It is maddening, not consigning any 'ultimate' meaning to anything...

Hi Les,
Your friend Alex in Manitoba again...
So, materialisim? came across this book called 'After Materialism What?'
find it here: https://archive.org/details/aftermaterialism00tute?q=The+Psychic+Stream
Interesting content so I copied a few paragraphs for you and your readers, read for yourselves.
From Dr. A. N. Whitehead’s book entitled, Religion in the Making.
‘It is not the case that there is an actual world which accidentally happens to exhibit an order of nature. There is an actual world because there is an order of nature. If there were no order there would be no world. Also, since there is a world, we know that there is an order. The ordering entity is a necessary element in the metaphysical situation presented by the actual world.
… The metaphysical doctrine, here expounded, finds the foundation of the world in the aesthetic experience, rather than with Kant in the cognitive and conceptive experience. All order is therefore aesthetic order, and the moral order is merely certain aspects of aesthetic order. The actual world is the outcome of the aesthetic order, and the aesthetic order is derived from the immanence of God.’
For the believer in survival, death then means the introduction of the spirit (another synonym for life) to a continuum in which it becomes conscious of itself as the sum of the values which it has acquired in life. Death is in other words the introduction of the spirit to an integration of those values. The spirit knows itself for what it has made itself. As time passes, while space does not, the spirit for which time has become a dimension of space is immortal. For it time is literally no more.
A belief so based is one that satisfies human instinct. It assures man that his efforts to invest his life on earth with a value, over and above that acquired for the purpose of prolonging his earthly existence, are not wasted. His life is not a comedy or a tragedy of error. It is a preparation for something greater than this life can show, and that something is in accordance with his deepest instincts.
Everything is super-physical, and remains super-physical after it has acquired the additional attribute of being perceptible. You and I are super-physical here and now. When death supervenes we will continue to be what we are, while disappearing from the physical stage. What we will encounter when we come face to face with the naked forces of four-dimensional reality is unknown to us, except in the mystic reports, of which some account has been given in earlier chapter. The experience will presumably vary with the desert of the subject. He will get what he has earned.
Ouspensky reminds us that there are aspects of the mystic experience which are exceedingly terrifying. I recommend the fact to the notice of the gentry who are now amusing themselves with laying waste the world.
Old school philophisizing if you will.
One of your best writings ever . I enjoy them all , this one was exceptional for me because it was what I needed at the time

I would agree that many maladies are caused by spiritual and psychological problems, but not all. Genetic and environmental issues are often the cause of many diseases.
"A Civilization"doesn't destroy itself, out of nowhere.
Some force, from OUtside has to come in to do it. Demons, the Dark Force, whatever you call it. And this has happened since Biblical Times. from the same People/Race, that wrote their own Old Testament, and were taken over by that same Force, from who knows where?
The same ones, who were the underwriters, of Julius Caesar, William the Bastard, and and Court Advisors of Isabela and Ferdinand, and Cromwell, to the time of Queen Victoria, Disraeli, and to Modern times of Churchill, and now Trump.
