Destruction vs De-Construction

Most of us were young once. Remember building blocks? Remember how we'd play with them, constructing something out of our imagination? Perhaps some sort of a tower. Remember the time and effort we'd put into the placement of each block? Balancing them carefully so that they wouldn't topple? Pausing to consider the progress of the work before moving on to the next phase? We were The Creators! We were The Grand Architects! What we imagined, we brought into existence! As we Thought, so it was Done! Creation via Thought.

As Above, So Below.

The Logos creates in the same way. There is no mystery. The All is Mind. All of Its creations, from atoms to universes, are the product of Its mighty and directed Thought. "The All is in All, All is in The All". Now, let's return to our building blocks. When we had finished building our edifice, we would sit back and admire our creation. We'd show our parents or siblings. "Look what I did!". The product of our Thought would be allowed to stand in all its glory, for all to see.

Then, at some point, we'd get another Idea, another Inspiration. "Enough with the tower. I want to build a house!". We'd look around and realize that all of our blocks were used up in constructing the tower. What to do? We loved our handsome tower. It took so much effort to construct. There would ensue a brief moment of reflection. One final look as we committed our creation to memory and then...

...WHAM!

With a mighty swipe of our tiny hand, we'd smash the tower to bits, delighting just a little in the glorious chaos created by our action. Blocks flying through the air! Sound! Motion! Cataclysm! Where once had stood a proud tower, a jumbled, confused mass of building blocks remained. We'd first survey the damage, and then slowly, with a New Plan in Mind, begin to build a house out of the ruins of the tower.

As Above, So Below.

The Creator works in the same manner. Destruction comes to mankind only so that new edifices may be constructed. When forms crystallize, grow old and wear out, new ones must be built in order to serve the continuing evolution of Man. This process encompasses all the materials of the Earth, religions and philosophies, as well as the physical and spiritual bodies that man uses. By way of example, human bodies of a million years ago were not the same as human bodies of today, although remnants of ancient body-types can still be found in isolated areas around the globe, such as the Australian aborigines.

Destruction should not be looked upon with with fear and trepidation. Destruction is actually De-Construction, the taking down or demolishing of what no longer serves Man in order to make way for the new forms and methods that he will utilize as he continues to further his evolution.

Therefore, the coming Tribulations should not inspire a retreat of the Soul into a tiny corner of nervous tension. It should be welcomed and understood for the beneficent work that it represents. For a moment there will be Sound, Motion and Cataclysm as all that has been built previously is brought down. Then there will be a Cosmic Moment of Silence, a time of "no-time", as The Creator pauses before picking up the blocks and beginning again.

All Love,
