Schools and prisons seem to operate on similar principles. The students and inmates are there not of their choice. There is forced learning and correction.There is a school principal and a prison warden. There are hall monitors and prison guards. There are classes and cells. Oh yeah..and them bells ringing on the hour every hour of the day..LOL

This life is a 'lesson' unto what end?

Depends... you may have chosen the Karmic Lesson "Humility" this life time

If Earthly life is so lowly, what can we learn from this tedious material world?

The basic lessons that make us human. We have over 9 senses actually closer to 26  How many people have mastered those?

Can you do telepathy? We know it exists but even the best human telepath is barely breaking the ice

We have mastered the skills of war and creating death and despair... we have mastered envy... we have mastered greed... do these sound like skills higher beings would be proud of?

How to shine shoes? How to manage finances?

Well oddly enough learning the TRUE value of money/gold IS one of the Karmic Lessons. Very few people on this old rock have mastered that yet. They Think they have but they haven't

The difference between being 'good' and 'evil'?

THAT would take several lifetimes to master because it is not as clear cut as you might think.

One question on the entrance 'exam' of several esoteric societies is

"Should you obey the law?"

Now on the face of it it seems a simple enough question... and in this case the 'law' referred to is the legal system of what ever country or state you live in.

Logic might tell you to answer "Yes"   But in fact the answer is far more complicated. It CAN be summed up easily by this quote

" "If a law is unjust, a man is not only right to disobey it, he is obligated to do so." - Thomas Jefferson:

Why? Unto what end?

Perhaps to become a God     We can only surmise what lies ahead for our spirit as we have no context to compare it to. All we can do is try to learn

However there is ONE skill that a human can develop,

Epistemology

the study or a theory of the nature and grounds of knowledge especially with reference to its limits and validity

I looked up Hubert Dreyfus, who's a world-renowned professor of philosophy, and I talked with him about this, and he said, "This is one of the oldest and most central problems in philosophy. It goes back to the Skeptics, and up through Descartes. It's the issue of epistemology, the study of how do we know that something is true."  - 4 lessons from robots about being human

Simply put this is a skill that allows us to KNOW when something is true or not. We all have it to some degree, but develop this ability and fine tune it,  and use it during your search for understanding,  and you will find those things that 'ring true'

Proper numerology can point you to what lesson you are currently in... it can show you what level you are at. It does not matter if you BELIEVE in Numerology... because when you do a 'chart' it will become apparent to you that a lot of it 'rings true' to you personally

I would recommend using THIS book as it is broken down into easy to follow sections



It's All in Your Numbers: The Secrets of Numerology
by Kathleen Roquemore

While this book is good enough to set you up as a READER  I would suggest you NOT do readings for your friends... because you will soon loose them

People are very uncomfortable when you know to much about them

The way this book works it basically gives a person an insight into themselves. This serves to convince people that it is real. As a READER you now know what that person is truly like...  you do this so they will believe when you get to their destiny.  Best not to dabble beyond seeking your own path

Schools and prisons seem to operate on similar principles. The students and inmates are there not of their choice. There is forced learning and correction.

Very true  and most kids NEED to be locked in for the day LOL

But it is like everything else in life... YOU DO HAVE A CHOICE. The problem is We the Sheeple are LAZY so we prefer to let them lock up our kids and spoon feed them the current crap... just enough to barely get by in the real world

But there are choices.  If the student works hard outside the school to achieve knowledge that student can apply to a better school where the student chooses the program

Here in Las Vegas most high shcools look like prisons  No windows, barred fences, if your late you need to go in the front door past the office... but students who make a name for themselves can apply to the Academy... lots of windows and freedom  no hall monitors, student picks the subjects they want (usually arts music or science)

Back in Toronto my high school was such a school  It was and Arts and Science Academy... we had machine shops, metal shops and auto shops... We had performing arts, graphic arts and (new at that time) computer arts... we had real chemistry and biology labs No hall monitors  you came and went as you pleased. If you missed a class, so long as you caught up the work there was no problem  Even when the whole class decided we needed to go skiing for the day  LOL

Today here in Las Vegas Clark County School district is ADVERTISING on TV for home schooling. They will provide all the books and study material needed for FREE.  All that is required is a responsible parent that is willing to take the time

Office for Home Schooling
http://ccsd.net/divisions/education-services-division/home-schooling

A student may be excused from compulsory attendance at a public school when written evidence is provided to the school district that a student will receive equivalent instruction. Upon receipt of such document, CCSD provides a home school exemption letter to the student's parent(s).

So there are always options for those willing to fend for themselves and step out of the Flock

[onetruekeeper]

In a upcoming post I will discuss how we might be able to construct "tools" which might help us escape from this maximum security prison for our minds..LOL
No guarantees that it would work though.

[petrus4]

Petrus, could you provide me with an example or two of what you deem to be genuine contact?

As I've written before, it's all about replicability.

*  Does the spirit provide any form of information that can be verified in physical space?  If it says something is going to happen in the future, does said thing happen? 

Bashar gave a prediction of a very similar incident to 9/11, in 1998.  He wasn't exact in terms of the date, but he mentioned three years, and he said that the energetic buildup to it had already reached the point of a "98% chance."



The above is an example of proper clairvoyance; that is, how it is supposed to be done.  Most of us probably remember the false message received by Blossom Goodchild some years ago, where she was deceived by Ashtar.  As Bashar actually implies here, prediction is an extremely dicey business, which is why to a large extent it generally should not be done.  It is a case of spirits (generally the equivalent of fifth density or higher, in Ra's classification system) being able to look across multiple timelines as well as our own, and from there determine which of said timelines, the current energetic momentum is primarily leading us towards.  Said momentum can, however, change.  There is no such thing as 100% prophetic certainty.

*  Is the spirit's personality, use of vocabulary/speech/inflection consistent with your observation of it from past experience?  Does its' appearance match what you have seen before, or the accounts that others have given of it? 

When I've summoned master Raphael, my description of his appearance matched that of a woman I know on another forum who has also done so.  He is close to twelve feet tall, with tight blonde curls, and he favours eighteenth century clothing.



*  Correspondences:  If the spirit is known to like a particular type of incense, or other form of planetary correspondence, was it used to summon the spirit for the channelling you are reading?  Is there a particular piece of music which the spirit is known to particularly like, which you've heard before, but which is also used to summon the spirit?

After summoning master Raphael, I received clear impressions more than once, that a favourite piece of music of his is Pachelbel's Canon in D.  He also very much likes yellow roses, and these can be used as a means of rewarding him for his services as a healer.  Yellow rose or solar correspondence incense can also be used to aid in summoning him, and there is a particular ritual called the Rose Cross which draws energy from his specific sephiroth, Tiphareth.



A year or two after I first learned that, I started listening to An Hour With An Angel where a woman named Linda Dillon claimed to channel the four cardinals, including Michael and Raphael.  This radio show's introductory music is always Pachelbel's Canon.  Raphael has only been channelled once or twice by Linda, (she more commonly channels Michael) and when he spoke through her, his attitude of terseness and verbal brevity was the same as what I had experienced with him; and this was in marked contrast with Michael.  Some spirits are extroverts and talkers, just like some people.  Others are not.

*  Does the spirit give philosophical information (such as the STO/STS ethical model within the Ra material) that can be verified through real-world observation?[/li][/list]

I will quite happily challenge anyone here to read about the Service to Self/Service to Others (otherwise known, incidentally, as yin and yang) ethical model, and then see if it does not apply to literally every life situation you can find.

Also, your opinion on the Ra Material

The STO/STS paradigm has, at this point, become one of the core elements of my own ethical model; and again, this is because as far as I am concerned, it has universal applicability.  Many elements of Bashar's philosophy have also been of great practical relevance to me at times, as well.

Also, your opinion on the Ra Material

The STO/STS paradigm has at this point become one of the core elements of my own ethical model.

The primary ethical definition of Service to Self is self-aggrandisement at others' expense.  The definition of Service to Others, conversely, is action which indirectly benefits the self, by directly benefiting others.

In other words, the proverbial win/win scenario is STO.  Martyrdom on the other hand is tricky, and can at times actually be STS; because often you will have members of the military or intelligence community and such, who while they will use the rationale that they are supposedly fighting and dying for the benefit of others, the end result tends to be the continuation of war and loss of life, or that the cause of other STS individuals is advanced in other ways.  It's what I might call the "Manning the Wall," or "Colonel Jessup," argument.



This is also the reason why I refuse to thank veterans for their service, or otherwise believe that what they are doing is justifiable.

Participation in war perpetuates war.  This is not rocket science.

The appropriate, STO ethical response, and that which would truly save lives, would be for said soldiers to be willing to go to jail rather than participate.  If the politicians ordered a war, but none of the military were willing to participate, then the war would not happen.  It's that simple.  If the military want my thanks for their service, then they will either conscientiously object and accept a jail sentence, or they will participate in an effort to overthrow the government; and the reason why I say that, is because either of those two acts are capable of having the direct outcome of stopping or preventing further wars.  Following orders will not.

and finally.. How does one know if they are a magician or not...

In my case, I was at a Christmas nativity play at the age of ten, at the point where the players sang We Three Kings.



I began crying, because I already knew about Revelations' prohibition against the use of magick; and I had had an interest in the paranormal since probably the age of five.  The three wise men are usually assumed to have been astrologers, (and have even been referred to as magi in some translations) and probably from Iran.  They were, for a long time, probably the most relatable figures in the Bible for me.

I've also played various computer games since a very young age, and have almost always taken the magician/wizard character class whenever it has been available.  Over time, I grew to love the wizard archetype's emphasis not only on problem solving, but on the ability to solve said problems.

Until probably two years ago, I've always had a very difficult psychological relationship with Christianity; and one of the reasons for my apostasy, was the fact that I received constant reinforcement from Christians during adolescence, about the idea that I was damned.  In an email here, not long ago rdunk offered me an invitation to a local church, which I was unable to accept; I still generally can not tolerate social interaction with Christians, due to the level of expectation I have, that I will be psychologically abused by them.

The single main reason why I've also always had an advanced fear of and obsession with Freemasonry and the Illuminati as well, is because truthfully I also find them intensely relateable.  I've always had strong interests in evocation, alchemy, astrology, and what little I've been able to learn about sacred geometry.



The above image very aptly describes the nature of my psychological relationship with the cabal, as an idea.  There is an attraction, and truthfully I am less afraid of them themselves, than I am of potential association with them.

[Pimander]

This life is a 'lesson' unto what end?
*snip*
Why? Unto what end?

Consciousness learning about itself because it wants to.  Does there have to be a purpose other than doing something you want?

There are two main secret society viewpoints really.  One is Dualist and this world is seen as the creation of what is practically seen as the Devil and is an illusion.  Souls are seen as essentially trapped in this world and have in most cases forgotten their incorporeal nature.  This viewpoint means that this experience is a terrible evil to be escaped.  From this viewpoint comes ideas like pleasures of the flesh are evil.  The Cathars believed something like that as do many mystical religious types.

There is another point of view, which is more oriented towards the idea that the whole of what we experience is all part of something real although it also accepts that what it appears to be might be an illusion created by OURSELVES as opposed to an external Devil.  In this case there is no external Satan to fight, we create our own heaven and hell here.  Evil and Good are just about perspective and are two sides of the same coin and in this wholist conception the idea of a Good God and a Devil make little sense - except they are given a spiritual form of sorts by human thought forms.  They are not really the creators of our world.

Both believe in the main in the possibility of reincarnation but one thinks it is a bad thing and the others a positive learning experience.  Most mainstream religion (including some aspects of Buddhism) derive from the dualist interpretation - although almost all religions probably have a mystical sect or secret society that have realised the truth.

In a upcoming post I will discuss how we might be able to construct "tools" which might help us escape from this maximum security prison for our minds..LOL
No guarantees that it would work though.
/quote]The key is to stop imprisoning ourselves within a prison of our own creation - if you think all this hocus pocus is real.

[Sinny]

Petrus, cool pik, cool post.

I currently have my BS detectors/deflectors up to a high degree, admittedly, this may be causing a drain on my 'open-mind'' ability.

Names such as 'Bashar' and 'Michael' etc etc... Just don't sit with me, never have.
Especially since I came across 'Secret Cypher of the UFOnauts', which lends a different perspective even on the most basic aspects of 'contact'.

To hear people stating 'I'm on my last incarnation' is extrememly strange to me.
It's almost as if these beliefs link closely to one's ego. A sense of special purpose etc etc.

I'm not a true Christian, although the faith is a large part of my culture and heritage. However, having stated that, I exlore all avenue's and perspective's, and in my opinion, the Christians tend to point out some pretty obvious 'duhhs' in what I deem to be New Age beliefs...

I firmly believe my conciousness will go on being concious somewhere, somehow after this body has turned to ash. There is inceasing evidence of this.

However, I'm not ready to take a 'leap' on the rest of it.

By the fruit ye shall know them.
I don't see any good fruit, therefore I am cautious.

[onetruekeeper]

Nobody created the Matrix prison we seem to be in now in my opinion. I and everyone else seem to have been born into it from the start. Why?
I do not have the answer. Only a deranged individual would want to live in a hellhole like our world. I certainly would not have chosen to come here if given the choice.

It seems one of the primary means the Matrix keeps us imprisoned is through our attention. We are distracted constantly by the demands put on us by the Matrix. We are forced to go to work to earn our pay, we are forced to socialize with others, we are forced to go to school or religious institutions to learn more garbage to keep us confused and docile. We are forced to maintain and satisfy these meat bags we live in. All of these things require our undivided attention therefore a possible solution to escaping the Matrix could be through the refocusing of our attention on another reality which I would call the " real world ".

To get to the real world we need to first un-focus from the Matrix. To do this we need to stop paying attention to the items of our world. Turn off the television and computer. Put down our newspapers, bibles, books on UFO's and the occult and quantum physics. These are all distractions of the Matrix.

Sit in a comfortable chair, put on subdued lighting, and face a blank wall. Let the mind drift. Put all daily concerns aside. As the Matrix starts to fade from focus, another reality should start to come into focus. This reality, the real world , is something we were very familiar as young children for we would spend most of our time there engaged in our "imaginary " activities. This is the place we need to escape to. Here, all of our desires and potentials can be realized. Our consciousness needs to sever all it's focus from the Matrix in order to permanently exist in the real world. I believe this can be realized. It will take time and persistence but I believe it will be worth it.

I believe the real world to be just as real, if not more so than the Matrix. Experiences there are more vivid and intense. The Matrix pales in comparison. The real world is not made of atoms but is a creation of mind. I think when we physically die we go to the real world but why wait until that happens when we can get there sooner without having to "die" ?
The Matrix might play mind games with us to trick us into staying but it is not allowed to physically force us to stay against our will. That much I am certain.
