C R E A T I O N In the Beginning God was asleep In the abyss of darkness and infinite deep In silence God rested when in His dream A thought came to pass and have spoken to Him. `A home I shell have for Myself, an abode, And temple for beauty, Love of My Soul, A good place to dwell and enjoy My Great Being In repose from My work I will do for the living. World I shell make for play and for fun!` In somber God fathomed His detailed Plan. Thus, awaketh from sleep the Creation begun. "Let there be light", said God of Might And so it was, a magic seed appiered out of the hidden And reveiled a flower bud, sparkling glow in endless keep. The tiny plant, the breath of life, was growing fast, Extreamely high, above the waters lifting sky, It rooted deep in virgin mud, Upholding a humangous sphere, That glowed blood-red from the within... Then, giant bud had sudden burst And openned to the Universe The blooming pure-white blazing ray Of brightly radiating flame. The fire born in flesh and might Marked new first day with new first light. The Sun rose up from lotus flower In slow noble way and incredible power. God looked at the Sun and saw it is kind "You are very good", God said to His child. "Please take it from here, create worlds and build nations, Your beautiful light will cause great celebrations. Let temples be built for My own only glory. Let praise be to God, your Father, The Holy. Let innocent be. Repent to Redeemer. Stay Clear of intantion and want not from wemen. Know of the good and know not of the evil, For I am True God and life`s Only Giver. Let the free have no fear to keep honour and grace, Thy shalt fear only Me since I am Only Judge. Let the brave have the courage to sacrifice wholly, In the name of The Father, The Son, and The Holy. Let all pay respect for all My Creation. Let kind in heart lead way to solvation. Let wise keep the silence and keys to the secrets. Let ignorant preach and become politicians. Let beauty be sacred for My is Perfection, Let the arts be the sign of a civilized nation. Let in word and in music, in prayer and thought The praise be to God, who is your Only Lord. Let stories be written about Act of Creation, So that it is known by all generations. My Love be with you to bestow on all being, So that in My Peace will they find it`s meanning. I will now repose from the works of Creation, So I can enjoy it in My Celebration. The Father, The Son, and The Spirit of God Are free to receive in thy breath and thy heart. Desire is free for the God and His child Thus only the need will be hence satisfied. I am Only God, with you I am two, Three is My breath in all that I do. Let the land to be green and the sky to be blue. Now do what you wilt, I will always love you. Mene, Mene, your days have been numbered, So when it is done, we will be united again at that time. I Bless you My child with My Fire Sword So that you Create in the Truth of My Word".

God is a word and a word is a human construct that has a definition(s) to convey meaning(s) in order to express thought(s) and/or feeling(s), in this case the concept of whole from individual perspective exploring the dichotomy of all and nothing paradigms, ultimately a word is reviled in a context of a sentence and the enthusing intent behind it of the divine breath, who are people suppose to be representing - the whole - the universe. . Metaphysically speaking, God, as i define it, is the physical body located between micro and macrocosm in the center of the physical universe, where the universe has its center everywhere and its circumference nowhere, now, now+here=nowhere and the mind's eye has the whole picture. . first. define a word God, i define it as the physical body in the physical universe in the middle of microcosm and macrocosm, where the universe has its center everywhere and its circumference nowhere. .. second. the true meaning of a word can only be interpreted in a context of a sentence. place that God word, whatever it means to you, in a sentence and see how it feels, for example, God is both, the God of fear and the God of love. .: third. God, Lord God, gods and lords are completely different words. :: forth. I am this I am, one and all, not us vs them. one is the body, all is the big universe around, many are the states of consciousness or lack of it. there are four archetypes of people: the shepherd (earth/body), the sheep (water/mind), the dog (air/space), and the wolf (time). and then there are three choices: to play, to work, and to breed. do what thou wilt. :.: fifth. ah, nevermind. it's a mystery. I TEGO ARCANA DEI. :::: SCIENTIFIC VIEW   the heart is involuntary muscle and the heartbeat produces positive or negative neuropeptides, which are brain food, they are delivered to the brain via blood and consumed by the neurons creating a negative or a positive reality. :::.::: ABOUT THE EGO   The word ego means "I", the sense of who "I am", and is a very vulnerable artifact of developed identity shaped by the experiences of separation. The baby is unconsciously selfish, i.e. ego-centric, the child is a conscious self-serving ego, while the adult develops a persona to rule over their ego in order to protect it and to carry out some important tasks, hence the word 'persona' is Greek for a mask.   The ego is the inner love child who is as young as now here having fun playing and is formed and representing the state of separation, the person (mask in Greek) is the outer parent who is as old as the universe planning for then and there and is formed and representing the state of connection.   The ego is never sure of itself because it is an effect not the cause of being and therefore in stressful situations the ego needs to over-assert itself in order to protect itself since the ego knows full well how fragile and vulnerable it is - the psychological foundation of who we think we are - thus an assault on person's ego can shatter it to pieces and leave person shaken and traumatized for life.   Therefore, watch what you say, to whom you say it, and what for. at the end we will have only our soul for a company, since indeed there is no free lunch in the world, only an illusion of it. so, take care of your body and your body will take care of you - that is the purpose of an ego - to take care of its body, aka the lord of hosts, because the body is holy and the rest is a story.   Body is the cause and mind is the effect. If the mind gets carried away by the ego, becoming "proud", then it is not serving the body, the Lord of Hosts, "refusing to bow before the Adam", hence it is either the mind is beloved most beautiful angel of God, the body (as the centre of the universe around*), or the mind is sacrificing its host for somebody else's benefit, hence the Christ on a cross symbolism and the distinction of various mental states described as demons or angels with multitude of names and functions.   THE GOOD vs THE EVIL ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ i agree with Osho on the energetic map, described below in an excerpt from his 'The Book of Secrets,' but it is only a partial picture, here is my revised map of the key elemental archetypes of human experience: EARTH (body, north)=PLEASURE (SEX) vs PAIN (VIOLENCE), WATER (mind, east)=GOOD CONSCIOUSNESS (INNOCENCE, VIRTUES+) vs EVIL UNCONSCIOUSNESS (FEAR, SINS-), AIR (space [spirit], south)=PEACE (LIFE) vs WAR (DEATH), FIRE (time [soul], west)=LOVE (SYMBIOSIS) vs HATE (PARASITE). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ the good vs bad is reference to the quality, the good vs evil is reference to quality of the intent, you are either good, i.e. gaining consciousness, or evil (backwards live) loosing consciousness. in first case one attains eventually the universal mind, awareness, enlightenment, consciousness, transcending the heaven of supreme unity in i am this i am, one and all, love and peace, the micro and macro universe. in the latter case the evil spirit is loosing own soul of the universal consciousness becoming individual unconsciousness in exchange of gaining a particular group consciousness, in the collective unconsciousness, the plural realms of hell, were the battles of US vs THEM rage indefinitely. the ego is the body's image of itself, the star child, it never grows older than seven years and spend most of the time in the now pursuing love, fun, play, and pleasure. the persona, a personality -- an adult mask -- is a parent aspect of ourselves which is there to protect the body's ego for it is very fragile, and to provide means for survival, that is fears related to survival, fear of pain, fear of becoming unconscious, and fear of loss. this aspect of our selves is as old as time and has seen it and knows it all. therein is free choice between good and evil, conscious vs unconscious, sober vs drunk, i am this i am vs us vs them, where the opposites define a scope of available options; one is the body (earth,1) venturing on a journey, the function of the dualities perceived by the mind (water,2), spirit traveling through space (air,3, x,y,z), four is time/speed rhythm (fire,4) and all is the universe of infinite possibilities. a good hurricane is a reflection of the nature consciousness, the planetary biosphere is a universal consciousness manifest for quiet some time now. i know that from certain other levels of individual consciousness it might look chaotic but like on our cluttered work desk we know where everything is and what for. you can summon weather elements but then it is your consciousness which is making it either good or evil, it is all in the intent in your heart, the house of your soul. some people have sour relationships with their soul in their heart so the body's ego, mind, and spirit in some severe cases are not even permitted to visit it and sometimes ever. *1 - "The Universe has its centre everywhere and its circumference nowhere", William Blake wrote in 'Songs of Innocence and Experience'. *2 - Pascal wrote in 'Pensees' #199, Penguin tr., "Nature is an infinite sphere whose centre is everywhere and circumference nowhere". Nicolas of Cusa wrote similar things. Reference by Dan Lusthaus. *3 - St. Bonaventure wrote in 'Itinerarium Mentis in Deum' "Chapter 5. The Consideration of the Divine Unity Through Its Primary Name Which Is BEING." ... "8. ... As eternal and most present, it encompasses and enters all duration. existing, as it were, at one and the same time as their center and their circumference. Likewise, because it is the most simple and the greatest, it is wholly within all things and wholly outside them; hence it is "an intelligible sphere, whose center is everywhere and whose circumference is nowhere". ...". Latin: "Cap V. De speculatione divinae unitatis per eius nomen primarium, quod est esse". ... "8. ... Quia aeternum et praesentissimum, ideo omnes durationes ambit et intrat, quasi simul existens earum centrum et circumferntia. - Quia simplicissimum et maximum, ideo totum intra omnia et totum extra, ac per hoc "est sphaera intelligibilis, cuius centrum est ubique et circumferentia nusquam".[14] ...".

Regul., 7. http://web.sbu.edu/theology/apczynski/courses/CLAR 101 Intellectual Journey/Itinerarium/lat5.html#para8 *4 - "God is an infinite sphere whose centre is everywhere and circumference nowhere", appears in Bartholomaeus Anglicus' De proprietatibus rerum, as referenced in Bartholomaeus Anglicus and His Encyclopedia by M.C. Seymour et al. edition of the Trevisa translation. The source is popularly attributed to the XXIV Philosophers, see notes at the tail end of Book XIX. The Hermetic 'Liber XXIV philosophrum' (ed. C. Baumker in 'Beitrage' XXV. 208), found in the 'Summa' of Alexander of Hales (I. 19a and 60a); on which see M.-T. d'Alverny in P.O. Kristeller, 'Catalogus translationum et commentatiorum' (Washington DC, 1960), pp. 151-4. In DPR I. 16 (p. 53) BA cites Trismegistus as the author of the definition here ascribed to Secundus. Vincent, 'Speculum naturale' I. 4 (Venice 1591, IV. 4 va) attributes the first definition to Empedocles and gives the second as 'mens immortalis'. Within the metaphor of the rational soul as a circle of perfection BA joins these two Hermetic statements with an orthodox restatement of the philosophical concept of the Trinity, cf. DPR I. 2 and III. 13 (pp. 44-5, 103), which depends on Innocent III, 'Liber extra' published with his other decretals at the Fourth Lateran Cuncil of 1215. See further, A. Garci'a y Garci'a, 'Constitutiones concilii quarti lateranensis' (Vatican, 1981), pp. 41-6, and notes to 44/15 and 53/1. Reference by Juris G. Lidaka. www.georgetown.edu *5 - "God is a circle whose center is everywhere, whose circumference is nowhere", popularly credited to St. Augustine writing in the 'Confessions' (I am still trying to verify this. I haven't found it yet in the 'Confessions'). *6 - Oxford Dictionary of Quotations places it under "anonymous" and attributes the source to the "lost work of Empedocles". The dictionary also notes that the quotation is found in the 'Roman de la Rose' in the form "The nature of God is....". Reference by Norman Hinton. *7 - it's also in Alan of Lille's Sermon on the intelligible sphere. See M-T d'Alverny's (wonderful) 'Alain de Lille: Textes inedits', p.297: "Deus est spera intelligibilis cuius centrum ubique, circumferentia nusquam." She cites also the Regulae theologiae, 7 (PL 210, 627). Reference by Jeffrey Fisher. *8 - "God is a circle..." is also attributed to Plotinus in 'Enneads' VI, 5.4. Reference by Mark Murphy. *9 - "An infinite sphere, the centre of which is everywhere, the circumference nowhere." God being defined by St. Augustine according to Henry Miller in 'Black Spring' p.103. *10 - God is my centre when I close him in; My circumference when I melt in him. -- Silesius 'Cherubinischer Wandersmann' (1657 A.D.) 3.148: Gott ist mein Mittelpunkt, wenn ich ihn in mich schliess: Mein Umkreis dann, wenn ich aus Lieb in ihn zerfliesse.

Quotes fro "ADAM and the Kabbalistic Tree" by Z'ev ben Shimon Halevi.   "According to the Zohar, the soul is sent down from the upper regions into the asiyyatic World to perform a task both for the universe and itself. If it does not accomplish this, it is returned several times until it does. [...] a person only really exists in the present, living at various levels between Heaven or Hell, according to (the) state of responsibility to (one)self." p.246 section 'The Soul -- Sleeping Princess' chapter 29. 'The Sleeping Beauty'   ‎"We can move into a new area, another dimension unknown in ordinary circumstance. Suddenly everything takes on significance as we begin to suspect that our outer world is a reflection of our inner state." p. 243 'Sleeping Princess'   "Unfortunately the natural (hu)man does not wish to know (one)self because it would mean giving up so many illusions created in Yesod, partly by (one's) environment and partly by the identity (one's) ego has assumed." p.242 'The Soul'   ‎"it is worth mentioning one particular collective archetype, that of the Devil.     [...] there is a realm of Demons, the Kellippot or the World of Shells. Here is a situation in which a Tree is out of balance, or, worse, without a central column. In the first case a Tree may be overactive, or over-passive, creating frenzy on one side and grinding resistance on the other. Both situations can be seen in countries of war or under extreme repression. A civil war contains both malfunctions, and events seen during such awful periods can only be described as demonic. On the personal level the phenomenon of madness, at either end of the scale, demonstrates very clearly the idea of being possessed. Indeed it follows well the notion that if one of the sefirot is unchecked by the others, and is operating directly through Yesod it can blast the ego and project directly out." p.235 chapter 28 'The Collective Unconscious'   ‎"Paradise is the home of the soul." p. 242 'The Soul'   (Hu)man, as against animals and plants, possesses a part that is not is not earthbound. (S)he can actually escape, whereas flora and fauna are confined to the planet, being continuously cycled between the two poles of life and death in Nature's circus. Nearly all traditions talk of this possibility, be it in terms of being born again or escape from the Wheel of Life. (Hu)man, therefore, has within (oneself) the ability to detach (one)self from the level of pleasure and pain. (S)he can leave the world of toil, be released from the curse of Adam and return to Paradise. This can be accomplished by the awakening of the Soul, the cultivation of its consciousness and the realization of its proper place in the Universe." p. 247 'The Soul -- Sleeping Princess' ~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.

Demon means intelligence in Greek, like a virus, smart but working to use the host system as a parasite in order to benefit an external, alien interests and not the soul's sole owner. naturally, like in a case of annual flu, these spiritual viruses, aka demons, are there to test the integrity and good quality of a soul, a dirty Job's trials in biblical terms. in Kabbalistic terms it is quiet simple, the soul's sole journey is based on the virtuous i am this i am in deeds, words, and thoughts, where the opposites are in symbiosis as the universe, macro and micro, all together as whole. the realm of demons, on the opposite, is an arena of the collective unconsciousness circus based on US vs THEM dynamics of plurality where duality is conflicting and competing for the basic vegetable/animal survival. it is mostly either too young and not knowing enough or too old and knowing way too much of the wrong stuff. i see life as a necessity not something to desire. obviously we are here for some grand reason... and the less we know about it the better we can feel about ourselves being here in the lowest of all possible worlds. welcome to paradise indeed.   some people speak of consciousness as something outside and separate from the human body, they say that matter does not matter and that it does not even exist, per say, that everything in the world is a forethought of an empty space before time which holds all atoms in the universe together. to that i say that such thinking is utter nonsense. matter exists and it is a fact and for many people their body is the only manifestation of the universal consciousness. such an arrogance! as though they know how their bodies work and direct its activities like a symphony orchestra. the whole point is to get your mind to the same level of consciousness as your body already has and knows. get real! as long as the body is being marginalized and the mind is being exalted everybody is going to be in the grave danger of somebody's mind ruling over everybody else. one is the body, many are the states of the mind. in the world of I AM THIS I AM (the singularity) ONE and ALL, LOVE and PEACE -- the one and only is the body in the center of micro and macro universes, many are the states of the mind. in the world of US vs THEM (the plurality) -- the many bodies make up one collective mind, such as religions, governments, corporations, gangs, military, socio-economic elites, etc..., usually they are not very deep and predominately focused on insatiably consuming all available, limited, and non renewable resources to accumulate power and money at any cost to the human and the natural environments. that is why they may come across sounding smart, or being scary, but the collective beast is utterly unconscious. btw, i am a fan of Joseph Campbell, i love his books about mythology and symbolism; "The Hero with a Thousand Faces", "The Power of Myth", etc. great stuff.   alexander braun   The Last High Priest Of The Universe.   Minister of Foundation, Propaganda & Membership Idiosyntactix Strategic Arts & Sciences Alliance ~ The Brand Name of the Media Revolution! -- dedicated purveyors of independent culture, irreverence, and community building since 1995.   About the Ego. The word ego means "I", the sense of who "I am", and is a very vulnerable artifact of developed identity shaped by the experiences of separation. The baby is unconsciously selfish, I.e. ego-centric, the child is a conscious self-serving ego, while the adult develops a persona to rule over their ego in order to protect it and to carry out some important tasks, hence the word 'persona' is Greek for a mask. The ego is never sure of itself because it is an effect not the cause of being and therefore in stressful situations the ego needs to over-assert itself in order to protect itself since the ego knows full well how fragile and vulnerable it is - the psychological foundation of who we think we are - thus an assault on person's ego can shatter it to pieces and leave person shaken and traumatized for life. Therefore, watch what you say, to whom you say it, and what for. at the end we will have only our soul for a company, since indeed there is no free lunch in the world, only an illusion of it. so, take care of your body and your body will take care of you - that is the purpose of an ego - to take care of its body, aka the lord of hosts, because the body is holy and the rest is a story. Body is the cause and mind is the effect. If the mind gets carried away by the ego, becoming "proud", then it is not serving the body, the Lord of Hosts, "refusing to bow before the Adam", hence it is either the mind is beloved most beautiful angel of God, the body (as the center of the universe around*), or the mind is sacrificing its host for somebody else's benefit, hence the Christ on a cross symbolism and the distinction of various mental states described as demons or angels with multitude of names and functions.   __________________________ # sin ------- name ------- virtue ====================== 1.

God is a word and a word is a human construct that has a definition(s) to convey meaning(s) in order to express thought(s) and/or feeling(s), in this case the concept of whole from individual perspective exploring the dichotomy of all and nothing paradigms, ultimately a word is reviled in a context of a sentence and the enthusing intent behind it of the divine breath, who are people suppose to be representing - the whole - the universe. . Metaphysically speaking, God, as i define it, is the physical body located between micro and macrocosm in the centre of the physical universe, where the universe has its centre everywhere and its circumference nowhere, now, now+here=nowhere and the mind's eye has the whole picture. . first. define a word God, i define it as the physical body in the physical universe in the middle of microcosm and macrocosm, where the universe has its centre everywhere and its circumference nowhere. .. second. the true meaning of a word can only be interpreted in a context of a sentence. place that God word, whatever it means to you, in a sentence and see how it feels, for example, God is both, the God of fear and the God of love. .: third. God, Lord God, gods and lords are completely different words. :: forth. I am this I am, one and all, not us vs them. one is the body, all is the big universe around, many are the states of consciousness or lack of it. there are four archetypes of people: the shepherd (earth/body), the sheep (water/mind), the dog (air/space), and the wolf (time). and then there are three choices: to play, to work, and to breed. do what thou wilt. :.: fifth. ah, nevermind. it's a mystery.
