God Poet Transmitting.......
I am going to again recommend The Door of Everything which you can download or read online by clicking the link.
There are only 48 pages in the online version here. It is a pretty quick read and... if you are at all spiritually inclined... you will never forget having read this book and will... likely... read it many times. I had already read it many times and yet... this last time really rang the bell for me. You cannot fail to improve your life if you read this book. I will try to have it permanently linked here on the blogs.
Now... where was I? Actually... I wasn’t anywhere yet. We have all this virgin... virtual parchment before us and anything could be written here. Sometimes, when I wander the internet, I will look to see how often The Divine is mentioned in conversation, especially when it is mentioned in a non-religious context. Here... we have the single most important feature of existence... that also turns out to be the least mentioned feature of existence. It’s all stuff and more stuff... with a lot of contention between talking points... because The World is deeply polarized these days.
The most positive forces... that are presently working on the human psyche... is the tag team of Mr. Apocalypse and Lady Awakening. They are matched up against Mammon and The Dark Lord of Distraction. There is more than one dark lord and lady fighting for your attention. Both The Light and The Darkness are consciously... and intentionally... fighting for your attention. At the negative pole, they are fighting to divide and splinter your mind in order to militate against the possibility of concentration. They are forces of dilution AND pollution, and there are other agencies working to lure your attention away from The Higher Mind.
The Door of Everything is a portal into The Higher Mind and it discusses various elements of The Higher Mind with the intention of awakening you to their presence within you. This book is only one of many that work to make you aware of what you don’t usually see and hear in this world. There are many other texts like The Impersonal Life that work within the construct of The Christ Mind, and the writings of Mabel Collins who wrote The Light on The Path.
I don’t have a particular or specific preference when it comes to religious perspectives. I do not care for religion. Religion is for people still learning to walk and ride a bike spiritually. The information is there if... you can find it within all the other noise that surrounds it. If you can tell the difference... that is even better. However... the source of ALL wisdom is within you. You simply have to still The Mind to access it.
Religions have been responsible for a lot of great art, which has the capacity to inspire and uplift the mind out of pedestrian thoroughfares. It is also responsible for many serial cruelties visited upon humanity. There have been so many pointless wars fought in the name of The Prince of Peace. This is just one of Life’s Terrible Ironies. Religion provides a comfort zone for people to fall asleep in.
Many... many centuries ago... Religion had an entirely different mask that it wore. This mask provided for a greater amount of light to shine through it. People lived in communities where Unity was present because The Spirit of Brotherhood was present. Over time they all became cash register religions. Religions came to exist in an atmosphere of; business as usual. This is a common and regular happening that repeats itself over... and over... and over again until it all collapses into nonsense... disorder... superstition and complexity.
Every time this happens, God sends an emissary down to The Material Plane to dispense a particular portion of Ageless Wisdom... which is tailored to the meaning and intent... of the specific age he appears in. The Age of Pisces was The Age of Sacrifice. The Age of Aquarius is The Age of Brotherhood. We have just come out of the cusp period between two ages, and that usually lasts around 200 years.
Presently we are seeing the alarming specter of Satanic organizations like The WEF... numerous NGOs... as well as a planet-wide loss of a moral compass... material corruption of every kind possible, and... a general losing of the way. People do not know where they are going and an alarming number do not care. Nihilism and Possession can be seen everywhere. Random acts of violence and indifference are the order of the day. Most especially, The Dark Side is focused on perverting childhood... thereby causing entire generations to be lost.
I don’t want to spend too much time dwelling on The Negative side of transitory existence. It’s all passing and this is a phase. If we don’t learn certain things, we won’t have any protections against them in the future. Rites of passage USUALLY involve some amount of suffering... mostly because people operate in various states of ignorance concerning the shortcomings and drawbacks of attachment.
What I find particularly worrying is that The Awakening seems to be having no impact on a large percentage of the population. As a result, these people are suiciding themselves through bad lifestyles... unbridled appetites... and pedestrian entertainment. A large portion of humanity is gravitating toward The Rim. These are the people who mindlessly allowed themselves and their progeny to be inoculated with The Killer Vaccines. These same people are eating foods that are guaranteed to destroy their health and make whatever life remains to them a protracted misery.
Because of this thing called Woke... larger numbers of the public are being seduced into mindsets based on ephemeral delusions. Creatures of a poisoned mist are dancing in their minds and gradually leading those... so captivated... into darkness and ruin. Woke is to Awakened as senility is to regenerated innocence, AND many poisons that are presently being released into the atmosphere, and included in foodstuffs... are causing an epidemic of early-onset Alzheimers. We have a health crisis of monumental proportions and it is all being caused by agents of The Dark Side... in search of a reduced population, and... here I am still talking about The Negative Side of transitory existence.
I find that I have to take quite a few steps back in my mind... back to where I can embrace a detached and panoramic perspective... so that I can see the bigger picture. There have been plenty of die-offs in the past. There have been plagues and disasters... at one time or another... that wiped out existence in terms of the people who were there. These things seem to happen here because... Here... is a way station. Here is a place where one demonstrates... through their actions... the character and climate of their next destination, and... three dynamics are ALWAYS in play. There is an upward curling spiral. There is a downward curling spiral, and there is a looping circular route along which people keep coming back to the place they started from, AND... they have their reasons for this.
It is true that a significant portion are woefully ignorant of much beyond the state of; I want that! This is the mindset that materialism causes and it reflexively leads to a dumbed-down state of being. Stupidity is always digging a bigger hole to fall deeper into. A climate of pervasive Stupidity is one of The Dark Side’s greatest assets.
Everything I have mentioned so far is an aspect of the visible side of existence, and... if that was all we had... we would truly be screwed. It is not all that we have, but... when your mind and your senses are caught up in the dance of externals, you are easily persuaded into believing that is all that there is. The Baphomet holds up his right hand in a mudra that indicates; what you see is all there is. His left hand is holding the torch of ignorance which ignites the lower passions. You either climb out of that sway or you die... to try... another day. The moment you are in... is the most important and only moment you ever have.
God is a reality and he is never more present than in those times when he is most entirely concealed... under a cloud of material noise, and shifting shapes of prosaic appearances. You can be ABSOLUTELY certain that if you seek God... you WILL find God, and... on that account... the most important feature is to not cease in the effort. If you do not stop, you cannot fail.
The quickest and most certain route to The Divine is through Love. This is why The Greatest Commandment is The Greatest Commandment. Your speed is determined by the intensity and consistency of your expression of the attractive force. You actually do not need to know any more than that. It is one of the reasons that the simple-minded have an easier time of it, and...
... one last thing.

Nostrils to the sky.
I read half of the Door of Everything this morning. Oh my!
Dear Visible
In the last link you provided, I scrolled down a few comments and came upon a link to a work written in 1689, "A Voyage into Tartary, containing a curious description of that country, with part of Greece and Turkey; the manners, opinions, and religion of the inhabitants therein; with some other incidents".
Reading the article through the link provided (//libnews.umn.edu/2022/07/tartarians-and-heliopolitans-in-a-little-known-book-at-the-james-ford-bell-library/) I came upon this description of Heliopolitans: "There he discovers, to his great surprise, a civilization of Greek-speaking philosophers, borderline atheists who give homage to the Sun, live in common and without the use of money, and who regard Christianity, when it is explained to them by Heliogenes, as spurious, filing Heliogenes’ New Testament among the books of “mythology” in their state library. These Greek-speakers, living in the perfectly constructed city of “Heliopolis,” turn out to be the descendants of the Athenian philosophers who had abandoned Athens after the death of Alexander the Great, heading east in search of a new life". I thought the fact that they were sun-worshipers would interest you and so I felt like sharing. It also brought to my mind another treatise about the first and only original Democracy that very few know about, by a Greek writer named Christos Rigas.
Love your work as always and follow you each day.
With love, a friend Greece
P.S I will try to publish the work in another comment.
A story about Ephialtes, the popular democratic movement and the unknown revolution of 462 BC which established Democracy in Athens.
A new reality had been created in Athens after the Persian wars. The Areios Pagos, which represented the power of the rich nobles (landowner nobility), had abolished the government of Cleisthenes by taking power in a coup d'état, defying the parliament of 500 and the Church of the Municipality “εκκλησία του Δήμου”. However, the social and economic conditions had changed so much that the power of the landowner nobility was now anachronistic.
The emergence of Athens as the greatest naval power in the known world at the time radically changed its structure, economically and socially. The construction and manning of commercial vessels and warships gave work to thousands of manual working Athenians and small farmers. The importance acquired by the fleet gave the seafaring people of Athens a feeling of superiority. These lower social strata began to move for the overthrow of the Oligarchy regime of the landowner nobility class.
The movement aimed at the radical change of the regime and not simply at the restoration of Cleisthenes's polity, which Areios Pagos had catalyzed in a coup d'état. Aristotle writes: "as the crowd increased, Ephialtes, the son of Sophonides, who was considered an incorruptible patriot and who attacked the Parliament of the Supreme Court (Areios Pagos), became the leader of the people in the Church Municipality... first of all he exterminated many of the Areopagites (members of Areios Pagos) by bringing trials against them concerning their administration". Ephialtes became the fear and terror of the Oligarchs and all those who wronged the people.
Official history preferred to silence him. Thus this great revolutionary is known only to experts, while his namesake, the traitor of Thermopylae, is known to everyone. It is important for the reader to stop here and think. Why does official history ignore the man who established democracy for the first time in history? Why does the official history silence the great revolution of the Athenian people that overthrew the regime of the Supreme Court and ushered in democracy as a new and radical polity? Does this silencing result in what we think of as democracy today having nothing to do with Democracy? From these questions we can draw conclusions about the current political, social and economic situation, as long as we ask ourselves: why?
Who was Ephialtes? Well-known philosophers and historians of antiquity wrote:
Aristotle: "He was incorruptible and just towards the state"
Diodorus: "He was poor but dignified and never accepted the slightest help from his friends."
Plutarch: "He inspired fear in the oligarchs and was rigid in demanding responsibility and in pursuing those who wronged the people."
From the sporadic phrases that exist, a picture of an integral man is presented. Because of his decisive political line, he seems to have made many enemies, and must have become the terror of the aristocracy, especially those who had reason to fear his justice, his rigid principles, and the consistency of his policy.
Ephialtes was carefully preparing the movement for the overthrow of the regime and was looking for the right opportunity to deliver the decisive blow. The movement had reached great proportions and the opportunity was given in 462 BC.
Cimon with a large portion of the Athenian army was in Messinia to help the Spartans in the war with the rebellious Helots of Ithome (3rd Messinian War), while on the other hand the fleet (which supported the democratic movement) was anchored in Piraeus and was not as usually scattered in various missions.
This opportunity was chosen by Ephialtes and together with Archestratus, they called the people of Athens and Piraeus to a Palladian gathering in the most historic meeting of the Church of the Municipality and put to them the proposal to dissolve the power of the nobles of the Supreme Court and take over themselves (the people) the power, the government of Athens.
Aristotle, in the Athenian State XXV, describes: "thus during the reign of Cononus, Ephialtes and Archestratus with all the people of Athens and Piraeus, removed from the Parliament of the Supreme Court all the political powers it had for the protection of the state, and others of these they granted to a Parliament of 500 randomly chosen members and others to the people and the people courts."
462 BC is a special moment in the history of mankind. In this year, democracy was born both as a state and as a word. The polity established by Ephialtes and Archestratus was to vest political power in the citizens themselves directly, not through representatives. It was called Democracy because the word itself means the power of the citizens.
The word "Demos" (municipality) had two meanings, one social and one political. In the social it meant the people in contrast to the ruling class of the nobles, while in the political the whole of those who had political rights. In Democracy the two concepts were merged since for the first time the distinction between nobles and citizens (who until then were the only ones who had the right to exercise power) was abolished and all Athenians of all social classes acquired the same political rights.
The word "democracy" did not exist before that state. It was born simultaneously with it to express it authentically. The historians of that time (whose works are preserved), Herodotus and Thucydides, completely silenced the movement of Ephialtes and the revolutionary establishment of the Athenean Democracy. One would expect younger historians to fill this gap. Yet! The gap remains to this day even though the twenty years from 480 to 460 BC is the most eventful period. Is it a coincidence that even today this period remains unexplored?
The historical evidence we have reveals that the people's revolution was bloodless since most of the army controlled by the nobles of the Supreme Court was absent in Messinia with Cimon while the nobles were overwhelmingly outgunned due to the presence of the fleet in Piraeus. That is why the nobles did not resist but waited for the return of Cimon with the army to Athens. Cimon, not only failed to turn the situation around, but was sentenced to exile.
Meanwhile, as soon as the revolution of Ephialtes and the establishment of democracy in Athens was learned, the first action of Sparta was to turn down the help of the Athenian army for fear that they would join the revolutionaries of Ithome.
Thucydides' only historical reference to the events is "the Athenians saw boldness and innovation", so he describes the overthrow of the power of the nobles and the establishment of democracy, as "innovation", i.e. a new institution. No historian could have invented a more succinct way to describe democracy and the events that led to it!
Except that Thucydides is the historian we rely on today for the events of the period 480-430 BC, that is, the period that precedes and leads to the small and large Peloponnesian war. But why does Thucydides so defiantly ignore the most probable cause of these wars that shocked and shattered the Greek world? Why does he defiantly ignore the revolution that gave birth to Democracy which brought down the regime of the nobility? Think about the fact that the democracy overthrew a regime that until then had such friendly relations with Sparta as to provide it with significant military assistance in an internal problem such as the revolt of the Helots! What was the reason, that the leading historian of his time (the official version) keeps silent about such a cosmogonic event?
The deliberate silence of political change has helped historians to associate Democracy with Pericles and the aristocratic regime of Cleisthenes. However, the differences between Cleisthenes' regime of egalitarianism and equality are radically different from the democracy of Ephialtes and Archestratus.
In the regime of Cleisthenes, power was exercised by the lords who came exclusively from the nobles, while the supervision and control of the state and the lords was held by the Areios Pagos whose members also came exclusively from the richest nobles.
In the republic established by Ephialtes and Archestratus in 462 BC, the authority of both the lords and the Supreme Court was abolished. The democracy granted these powers to the Church of the Demos (Municipality), i.e. to all citizens and thus made it the highest state body of Athens.
In the regime of Cleisthenes, the officials decided on matters of their competence. In the republic of Ephialtes, the officials had no right to decide except to recommend to the Church of the Municipality and carry out its decisions, under its full control and with the obligation to be accountable to the Municipality and the popular courts of Iliaia.
The concentration of all powers in the people precluded any possibility of buying consciences with money. Ephialtes, at the omnipotence of money, opposed the omnipotence of the people.
No form of representation was allowed in Democracy. Each citizen represented only himself. Parties and factions had no place in Democracy. Freedom and equality were fundamental principles of Democracy. Freedom is realized when each person determines himself in his personal life and is both, partly governed and governs himself. Any form of representation, whether it is called a party or a government, negates political freedom which was the most basic principle of Democracy. Without Freedom, not even the second principle of Democracy, equality, can work.
The republic established in 462 BC did not abolish private property nor social classes. However, it changed the rights and obligations that stemmed from the property status of each citizen. It distributed civil rights equally to all. The financial burdens were shouldered ONLY by the rich.
The participation of all citizens (and the poor) was necessary, otherwise it would be a Democracy in name only. That is why a salary was established for those poor people who were drawn to serve as deputies or judges, and later also for those who were poor and who were required to participate in the meetings of the Church of the Municipality.
If you were drawn to serve the state from a position that could be used to obtain personal profit, there were simple rules that were applied to everyone, rich or poor :
If you were caught stealing or profiteering from the state then you you have to pay back TEN times the amount you stole. If you didn’t have enough money then your relatives were asked to pay back the amount owned. But if you were caught causing real harm to the state of Democracy in Athens or causing a disgrace to the Athenians, then the big court of 500 would be summoned to judge if you you continue living or will be executed the next day for betraying your city.
For these unprecedented things, Ephialtes drew the wrath and hatred of the oligarchic nobles. They condemned him to physical extermination and eternal silence. Before a year had passed, he was brutally murdered in the night and his name has not been mentioned since.
Had Ephialtes not ceded power to the people but kept it for himself (like so many who fought in the name of the people, only to become rulers themselves), Ephialtes would be yet another tyrant with a prominent place in the pantheon of great men.
The target, however, was not Ephialtes but Democracy itself. The younger generations were not supposed to learn (until today) that history had made a bold experiment. The period 462 – 322 BC when the citizens Democracy functioned, is considered the most brilliant period in human history. The Democracy of Ephialtes resulted in the birth of this brilliant civilization that is admired to this day.
People were not supposed to learn about that Democracy. But they could not fight her. That is why they falsified it, silenced it and attributed to others and to another government the laurels that should have been worn by the the first (and only true) citizens' Democracy.
The aristocratic writers, in addition to suppressing the facts, created an artificial ideological conflict by presenting as "democracy" many different governments! Isocrates presents the regime of the Supreme Court as a democracy and the regime of Sparta as the best democracy. The falsification becomes more obvious by identifying it with the Democratic Party created under the regime of Cleisthenes.
The popular movement under Ephialtes is presented as a crisis between the Oligarchic and Democratic factions. Except that the Oligarchic and Democratic parties both belonged to the wealthy nobles. The Oligarchs wanted the abolition of Cleisthenes' polity and the removal of all political rights from the people. The Democrats were in favor of Cleisthenes' regime with popular participation in the election and control of the lords which would necessarily come from the noble class. None of the two factions wanted equal statehood (that is, the abolition of political distinctions) and the transfer of all powers to the people as Ephialtes did with the revolution of 462 BC.
What they want us to ignore is that Democracy is the empowering of the people. Ephialtes freed the people from parties and leaders and left them to govern themselves. This resulted in an unparalleled period of civilization in every field of art, politics, science and intellect. And yet, the self-government of the people has been given to us as an unimaginable form of government, as impossible to function, while almost every other regime today is called a democracy...
Let us finally make an indisputable statement by accepting an irrevocable truth. Only the empowering of the people makes real Democracy possible. Leaders and parties are democratic when they fight for the empowering of the people. However, the assumption of power by the democratic party and its exercise in favor of the people is not democracy. That is, democracy is not determined by the exercise of pro-people policies by a pro-people party, but when power is exercised directly by the people themselves.
For the first time, democratic freedom was defined as the participation of all citizens in power and not as protection from power itself. The word "freedom" does not mean not being enslaved but being able to do as you feel, creatively and without limitations what your soul desires.
In the same way, Jac de Romilly wrote that "the Athenian feeling of freedom was not limited to this great office of citizen sovereignty. From the moment this principle was established, freedom established itself as dominant, covering in fact the whole of Athenian life ... as if suddenly the most diverse realities turned towards the sun, to be penetrated by its rays."
The Athenian people threw themselves passionately into the practical experience of freedom and flourished. But this should not be done by the people. The ruling classes and their historical writers took care to distort the essence of freedom and democracy.
Ephialtes and authentic Democracy were forgotten. Pericles is presented as the greatest political figure of the Democratic Republic and the Democratic Republic as a micro-improvement of Cleisthenes' regime.
So today a closed caste of people in every country of the world, spin the destinies of the people, and this we consider democracy. The attempt to distort the democratic experience, the name of Ephialtes and the state he established cause terror to those who wrong the people, even today. That is why for 2,500 years now, all this is kept in silence.

Wow!!! That is the most exhaustive commentary ever left at these blogs. (grin) I mean that in a good way. Thank you.
