Dog Poet Transmitting.......
I have always felt that the biggest liability a person can have is Vanity. It makes you vulnerable in ways you can't possibly know about because... because you are vain. It is also a tremendous liability because you can't see where you are going. It blinds you. In the Hindu culture, they have a term, “Samskara” it is explained in more detail here. I think of Samskaras as something like a scarf, with different levels of opacity. Some are gossamer and some are black as night, depending on their density ...and you can't see through them at all, or partially. Vanity is more than capable of creating thick Samskaras. In Times of Material Darkness, there is a greater pervasiveness of negative Samskaras and large numbers of the public accept as truth the most outrageous delusions. They commonly agree on utter bullshit. The more wide spread this is, the more dangerous is is to be around large groups of people; NOTHING gets said here by accident.
When Vanity is accompanied by arrogance, the merger is exponential in its negative potential. You see a lot of this in the political arena, in show business and at the upper levels of commerce. These are the people who paid no attention to the people they stepped on, on their way up and are oblivious to the consequences pending on their way down. They prance through life as royalty; a queen of the realm, a queen of the silver screen or... even a queen like Dame Elton John and... they awaken in the next go round as a prostitute, a human trafficked item in the cart, or any one of the outfits that hang in the cosmic wardrobe, which you must go through, to get suited up, while food for the moon, awaiting your next incarnation.
One of the most valuable prayers a person can, consistently make, is... “Lord, grant me your qualities.” Perhaps this is too abstract for many but... imagine... imagine the currency of the qualities of God! Imagine the power and protection these confer, in this life AND in the next. God is incomprehensible and indefinable and we will repeat that again and again ...but... there are two ways in which the divine can be best realized; through the qualities of God and... through Love. The performance of continuous remembrance, of ceaseless prayer, very quickly brings one to 'the gates'. As Krsna said in the Bhagavad Gita and which we also repeat and will continue to repeat; “success is speedy for the energetic!” Having Love in the engine block and the qualities of God in the windshield, light up all the 'future exit' signs.
It is a human characteristic to not want to face the thought of catastrophe and tragic circumstances. In similar fashion, the five stages of grief speak to being confronted by the inevitable- ♫you got to walk that lonesome valley. You got to walk it by yourself♫ Only a fool or one hypnotically fixated on material culture, can fail to see what is rising up into the Event Horizon. It is no one particular thing. The immensity of the population is a grave factor. There are the uneasy rumblings and shaking of the planet. There is the massive economic threat of derivatives. There are the sure and certain food shortages AND... there is the definite threat of various pandemics. There is the ever present concern of war and terror attacks; both government and independently orchestrated. In these areas -
I am not an alarmist. I am a pragmatist. I am only as acutely tuned as I am from having made so many stupid and block-headed mistakes; more than once. More than twice and... so on. I am living proof that God is real, nothing else could possibly account for my still being here; not that here is any great shakes but... you catch the drift. The same could be said for some number of us. In my case, the evidence is more than dramatic, it is preposterous in terms of general expectation.
As can be readily seen, when conditions get serious, the seriously stupid, band together in defiance of reason and are incapable of measured analysis, or planning in regard of the greater good, mostly because that is a foreign concept for them. It is one thing to mouth it, which they do most adroitly. It is another thing to employ it. They wouldn't even know where to begin. As the disease of Materialism becomes ever more evident and widespread, you find clown cars abandoned all up and down the highway of life. There's no room; not even a perpetual Chinese fire drill by M.C. Escher is going to work. We now have Clown Trains and Clown Cruise Lines.
As the insanity intensifies, because that is what it does, in direct reaction to the intensification of Materialism, you begin to see certain events becoming commonplace, events that were formerly only rare anomalies. You see absurdities like Michelin Tire Man Pedophile, Jonathan Yaniv and you see him and other freaks of the unnatural, being catered to by quivering imbeciles, put into positions of local authority. These witless accessories to crimes against humanity, have been shoehorned into petit bureaucrat positions on library and school boards, for the SOLE PURPOSE of promoting the sexual abuse of children because 'despoiling innocence' is Job One of the Satanic Order. None of this is accidental; no way, no how.
What is actually taking place, according to the script of the ineffable director, is a sorting out of souls for points north, south, east and west. This is one of the primary considerations in an apocalypse, so I shouldn't have to say; “Mind how you go!” There is no difference between manifest life, as we think we know it ...and a movie. We all have roles to play and we do have some degree of say, concerning what that role may be. Sadly... fixed Karma accounts for a lot of what is happening and what WILL HAPPEN. People get all bent out of shape, worrying about external condition, when their chief concern should be their internal condition because that can have everything to do with what results externally.
Meanwhile... at this very moment, there are benevolent forces, waiting for the opportunity to assist you in your every need. Just because you can't see them, doesn't mean they aren't there. Most people have a fairly narrow bandwidth of perception and it gets narrower depending on the force of Materialism on their state of awareness. Why is it so much easier to believe in Evil Forces and so much harder to believe in Forces of Good? Just as we are subject to this.

Illustration to the poem by Milton, "Returned to Paradise"
We also have the advantage of friends like this. Take a little time to enjoy the fine and inspired work of Gustave Dore.
When I say, “subject to” that is a direct indication of the subjective mind. It's all happening in your mind so... put yourself under the auspices of the ruler of all things! What could be simpler? Oh right... there is always that, “difficulty at the beginning” which is why you eventually hear them say, “oh, doubtless, there must be an easier way.” No... that is the easier way. This proves out, as one passes out, of the initial stages.
We've been talking about the imminent, in the unknown, yet to unravel, into the moments to come. This is not from a lack of other things to talk about. Surely it is dramatically evident... the present state of existence, as well as the aggregate thunder of the feet of marching, mesmerized zombies, hammering on their cellphones, in search of something to eat or fuck. Where are they marching to? It is yet another illustration of M. C. Escher, where thousands might be moving in hundreds of directions and all arriving at the same place. He didn't drawn that picture but I am sure you can do that in your mind.
You are in a living, breathing moment of incredible transformation. Such time periods as the one we are in do not come around very often. It accounts for the large amount of people that are here. Their having immediately forgotten, on arrival, why they were driven to appear, does not discount the importance of the time. The sheer force of collective, low level desire that is present, creates a degree of difficulty seldom seen. Therefore the possibility of a quantum leap spiritually, is an advantage one should take very seriously. We are in a Grand Apocalypse.
The moment anyone decides to move toward the light, the forces of good in the universe rush to their side, leading and encouraging. There is nothing in the darkness but darkness and those who serve the darkness, or are lost in the darkness. The center is everywhere, the circumference is nowhere. What do you find when you unravel a riddle or a mystery? There is nothing there. Mystery is mystery only. Ergo Mystery Babylon. Priests and New Age hucksters have been spieling mystery for profit for a very long time; justifying the need for them. You buy their books and CD's. You take their seminars. You take showers in the glittering confetti of their fabricated, celestial bullshit. You ARE the church. You ARE the holy of holies. You just have to get there, even if you are already there... it has to be realized. Don't give up and you cannot fail.
Don't give up and you cannot fail.
