All Is Fallen
This writer once asked of one who had a sound understanding of the Universal Teachings, the following question:
"Is there anything that is not fallen in its nature?"
The reply was "No".
"Man"?
Fallen.
"Earth"?
Fallen.
"Other planets and galaxies"?
"Fallen and Fallen".
"Surely the higher dimensions are constructed of a higher material?!"
"Yes. Finer fallen material".
It was then that a light came on. Realization struck like a bolt of lightning. The realization was that nothing here on (fallen) Earth worth is worth clinging to, or worth saving. This goes for both the so-called "good" and "bad" experiences. Not one of the so-called higher, or 'beautiful' things of the world are of any lasting value. Even the pursuit of the human emotion named "love" is a useless, vain and wasteful endeavor.
The only intrinsic value that our experiences and relationships have is evidenced by their ability to provide us with situations that will lead us one step closer to realizing that we ought not be here, that we are Strangers far from Home, marooned in a strange land. Recognizing this is what helps to stop us in our dualistic tracks, pulling us out of our robot-like routines and forcing us to ask the questions:
"What is the purpose of all this suffering and strife?"
"What should I be doing?"
"How do I get off of the merry-go-round Wheel of Death-and-Rebirth?"
First, you must stop neglecting your Spiritual life. It is the Life inside of you that matters, not the physical shell you see in the mirror with its hundreds of harmful and destructive fears and desires. We, as image-bearers of God, are living Temples for divinity. Literally. Sadly, the Divine Spark within most men burns low. It is our job, our mission, our purpose to obtain True Knowledge, fan that Spark to life, strike our tents, take up our kits, and begin the walk Home.
This is why humanity is so inexplicably unhappy. We know that there is something that we should be doing, but we can't remember what it is. Therefore, we fear 'death', because deep within, on a Soul level, we know that dying without completing The Mission will amount to a failure of the personality to liberate the microcosm (the Soul). This feeling is bred into us due to thousands of previous incarnations that have ended in the same, exact failure. So most erroneously spend their time in innumerable wasteful endeavors, striving in vain to find happiness here on earth, where a true and lasting Happiness can never be found.
The times that we are now in - the end of a major world cycle - present a SPECIAL OPPORTUNITY, for all who are able, to gain answers to the three questions above and to successfully complete The Mission. But, we must first extricate ourselves from the grip of the lower worlds. We do this by ceasing to pay attention to it. All of it! Even the so-called "good" parts. Participate, if we must, but we cannot get bogged down in RESULTS. All activities must be viewed from a position of neutrality and dispassion - do not take sides, do not take things "personally". Be IN the world, but not OF the world.
Situation: There's an "OCCUPY" movement taking place around the world?
Our response: Um, okay.
Situation: Revolutions in various and sundry nations?
Our response: And so it is.
Situation: So-and-so hates your guts and wishes you the worst?
Our response: There goes a tortured Soul.
Don't join anything, don't commiserate over anything, don't take offense to anything.
If we are unable to release our natural attraction to the things of the natural world, it will be incredibly difficult to attain the spiritual condition necessary for us to leave it. Why do you think there is so much going on in the world? Because the Dark Prince wants to keep you fascinated, transfixed to the very end by the flashing lights, the intoxicating sounds, the streaming colors of his false realm. Then when 'the door' shuts for good, those Souls who were hypnotized by the display will finally realize that they were fooled, that earth-life was all a show and that they are now trapped in a Dungeon of Misery for a very long time. It won't be forever, but it will be for a verrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry long time, indeed for an eternity (which is not the same as infinity).
Meanwhile, those mature Souls who had the insight, intelligence, drive and Remembrance to cut their ties with the material nature-order and pledge themselves to the original divine-order will find themselves rewarded beyond anything that could've ever been imagined while imprisoned here on this planet of mixed vibrations. The struggle to free ourselves from the grip of the dark cesspool of matter will be worth it beyond all belief, trust in that.
The opposite of fallen is Divine.
Let's get There.

"Be In the world, but not Of the world."
That's the hard part. To live In but not be Of.
Thanks Brother Gee.
