Upside-Down and Backwards

“Just look at us. Everything is backwards; everything is upside down. Doctors destroy health, lawyers destroy justice, universities destroy knowledge, governments destroy freedom, the major media destroy information and religions destroy spirituality.” — Michael Ellner

Long ago, this writer discovered, through dogged investigation, that the world we live in is actually an elaborate performance designed, written and staged for one purpose: to distract and mislead humanity from ever discovering the One Goal, the True Purpose of incarnation: liberation from fallen existence and a permanent return to the divine kingdom.

How can we achieve the Goal? First, we should set our intent towards obtaining that Goal. Secondly, we must cease to feed the illusion - the illusion that we are separate from one another and the Creator. We should stop reacting to the stimuli that the illusion continuously presents to us for consideration. No matter what the catalyst, one must learn to be neither for nor against, neither happy nor sad, neither angered nor over-joyed. The pendulum of duality must be stilled. Think of a grandfather clock, its pendulum steadily swinging back and forth. The measure of the swing to the right is the measure of the swing to the left. That motion symbolizes cause-and-effect, karmic law. As long as an impetus is applied (i.e., our reactive emotions), the pendulum will continue to swing, and the illusion will strengthen its hold upon us.

So it is with humanity. When we persist in focusing our thoughts and emotions in the objective world, we only succeed in perpetuating its existence. "Energy Follows Thought. What Is Focused Upon, Grows". It is important to remember this. The Dark Forces don't care what we think about them or their works. They only care that we continue to think about them. This is what keeps them alive...our focus.

Everything in this world is upside-down and backwards. Because we've lived in this awkward position for so long, we think that up is down and down is up. We have grown to believe that wrong is right and right is wrong. We've accepted this state of affairs as "the way things are". Well, maybe it is the way things are but that doesn't mean that it's the way things should be. There is another way, The Lighted Way, and one should do all within one's power to grasp The Golden Thread and then hang on with all of one's might.

Now, here is something that you have not been told: there are two universes, one divine, one fallen. Can you guess which one we are trapped in? Once we recognize and understand this, we will recognize the futility of trying to "change the world" or create "heaven on earth". It is not possible. As they say in handball, "you can't make a bad ball good".

Likewise, we cannot improve, or "fix" this fallen existence, for it is an emergency order, established for the purpose of allowing man to discover that which is not divine, in the hope that with that discovery, he would then begin to seek the same. Instead, we should make the effort to abandon it, allow it to atrophy, and do what is necessary to return to the divine kingdom which has beckoned us since the foundation of the world.

A Raving Lunatic
