A little fiction to refresh the mind.
Desire, and the roots of desire, is a big topic for all of us, even for those who do not consciously see it as a big topic; because desire is everything you are as a human being, it is how you can accomplish things, it is how you live day by day: You desire to keep the passion alive in your relationship. You desire to become a better person. You desire to have more knowledge. You desire to better your finances. You desire to love yourself more. And the substance of desire moves us forward from one minute to the next, acting consciously and subconsciously all throughout our lives.
Desire then, being the root of our day by day interactions, thoughts, feelings, fuel for doing everything, is also our downfall or destruction when it becomes too much desire/obsession: You obsess over your financial situation. You obsess over sex. You obsess over knowledge. You obsess over your appearance and your intelligence. All this is desire uncontrolled, desire ruling you instead of you ruling it. So, desire, the magic fuel of our very humanness, the heart of good deeds and of evil deeds as well, can become an obsession if unguarded, if there is no self-awareness. It can enslave you with and without your knowledge, can it not…??
And why would you say that is…?? Because desire is the very root of existence. In the story of Adam and Eve, Adam disobeys God and tempted by Eve eats of the forbidden fruit; so because of desire Adam and Eve disobeyed God – an unbalanced desire brought this. Desire is then good, it is the fuel behind great things; however, it is desire unguarded that which destroys man, because desire unguarded brings great anxiety, uncontrolled passion, rebellious obsession, and all agitation to the mind.

In the Christian world, Satan has been known by various names such as the adversary, the Liar, the Great Dragon, the Prince of Evil Spirits, and God of this World, to name a few. Now, one thing to understand is that Satan and Lucifer are two different symbols or entities, but of course in the Christian religion they both are the same. According to scientific researchers, ancient manuscripts, and a number of professionals in Theosophy, Satan was the first Gnostic; and this Gnostic’s real name was Simon Magus, back then also known as ‘Simon The Sorcerer’ and ‘Simon The Magician.” So, The Gnostics were adversarial to the Church and Rome. They would be the men of profound knowledge (gnosis) who opposed the Church’s teachings and would plot against its aims in controlling the mind of the ignorant masses.
So, Simon Magus, obviously, was the first and most dangerous enemy of the Church, since Simon Magus was a great Alchemist and leader or head of a great number of students in Gnosticism. Another very important thing to understand is that back then Gnostics, Alchemists, individuals looking for God and truth within themselves and all nature, were seen as possessed by demons, rebels, black magicians, and all this occult nonsense. Today we have internet, books, people speaking out with the truth, and religions cannot do anything about it; for nothing is really occult or hidden to the truth-seeker anymore. For example, I am a Gnostic, an Alchemist, but I can share with whomever I please because there is freedom of speech; however, back then, the Church, ‘The Whore of The World,’ would control everything and everyone, and would punish and kill whomever rebelled against their mind-controlling schemes.
How was Satan born…?? The Church created him in order to control and enslave the minds of people: “If you baptize, if you follow my religion, if you pray to God, if you do as you are told by us, then Satan will not have power over you. You will be saved by the Church.”
Another thing I thought it was interesting: In some images, he has horns also. So why does Satan have horns…?? In the first era of Christianity, the Church was still trying to wipe out paganism (The Gnostics), so one of the main sources of propaganda was to take a pagan deity and turn him into something sinister, because in order to control the mind the Church and all religions use fear in their words and images, as previously stated. So that is how Egyptian gods like Bes and Isis–a feminine deity who is often shown wearing the headdress of Hathor–became variations of a horned Satan… As you can see, all has its symbolism and origin from ancient Egypt and Alchemy…

“I, Jesus, have sent my angel to give you this testimony for the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, and the bright Morning Star.” ~ Revelation 22: 16.
Lucifer was not the most exalted of the angels, but rather Prince of those lower three ranks of angels who were responsible for the cosmos. He was properly the “Prince of This World,” commissioned to work out his good in original Creation, particularly of man in “the gaiety of love.” When he sinned, he rejected the position to which he was assigned. Lucifer never performed the beneficent ministry for which he was destined.
Lucifer is the son of the morning, the morning star, the bearer of light, the facilitator and the schemer, the one which fell from the grace of God and rebelled against the true Nature of man. Lucifer represents the individual intellect and will which rebels against the domination of Nature and attempts to maintain itself contrary to natural impulse. Lucifer, in the form of Venus (the representation of beauty itself), is the morning star spoken of in Revelation, which is to be given to those who overcome the world.
In short, Lucifer is the ego who blinds us from truth, who designs poor and imperfect love, who pretends to know peace by war, and the one who speaks to us through the obsessive desires and uncontrolled passions introduced in us by the physical senses–i.e., the ego of man lost in the false beauty and allure of the world of form, of that which is deceiving to man’s true nature,
Many people mistakenly think that Lucifer is Satan and vice versa, but the facts are that is simply not true. This misinformation, conspiracies and lies have been propagated to the people through many books and movies that most people equate Lucifer with Satan or evil. But in fact Lucifer represents the dormant illumination, the fallen angel hidden in our DNA, the possibility for ascension again–he once fell from the grace of God, but through true awakening he may ascend again.
So we may say Lucifer is our chance to discover a truer love, a more profound intelligence, a more divine understanding of the nature of the whole of Creation again.

God (which is the same as love, as freedom, as happiness, etc.), for the whole planet, is just a made-up concept, it is a design of the intellect, of the ego; so, because it is a design of the ego, a thought, a concept, a story from The Bible and whatnot, an entity built by the insecure idiots of the world, God is truly non-existent. A thought, a concept, a belief, comes from the conscious mind/from the ego of man, doesn’t it…?? Therefore, God is a mere thought for the world. God does not exist out of people’s own convoluted imagination. God is love (their own vision of love). God is anger (the anger they feel specifically). God is jealous (a jealousy created out of ignorant attachment). God is right and just (their vision of what is right and just). And all this God nonsense differs from people to people, from religion to religion, from nation to nation.
This is the meaning of bullshit, isn’t it…?? Pure garbage! Jesus– Can you even blame intellectuals and people who do not believe in this pitiful God of the rabble…?! But there is something sustaining and gluing the atoms together, isn’t there…?? I mean, if anything at all exists, if you can be alive right now, if experiences are real, then something exists beyond what you see in the mirror each morning. Forget about the damned word “God” for a moment; too much imagination and stupidity around it–it doesn’t let your mind see clearly… So what are you really…?? Your humanity is just atoms glued together; and these give you shape, character, gender, a great capacity to interact in this ignorant world full of idiots who claim to know God. But even though this is important, you may agree this is just the shell, the structure which holds everything together. Yes, women look beautiful, luxury is alluring, men look strong, buildings look solid, water is life, etc. etc. But still, the shell. So what is beyond the structure or shell…??…
Nobody can really give you the experience of knowing that, can they…?? You may read, you may pray, you may surround yourself with Buddhas and Christs; but all this knowledge is not yours, is borrowed. You can’t ever know God (the same as love, peace, freedom, happiness) if you follow the ways taught to you by the world… So, how would you actually know God, the energy which holds atoms together and fills the same atoms…?? How would you know..?? Or perhaps you want to follow the idiots of the world and remain an idiot yourself??… You must find the answer yourself….

The path to awaken from the slumber of thousands of years is not to fill the mind with knowledge and the experience of others, but it is the transition or passage from living in your mind to becoming acquainted with your emotional body. The body has intelligence, but the mind is only a bundle of memories without intelligence–it is the past and also the imagination of a future. To live in the head is what most people do in the world today, and as a result the same world is chaos–i.e., wars, religious and political division, intolerance, no comprehension of what love really is, etc. etc.
To see this in oneself and change! Change without a second thought or stubbornness. Change without blaming others. This is moving from your head/from your ego to your body/to your pure emotional content. And greater empathy and understanding shall fill your whole being then…
“The transmutation most pure.”
Of the earth I was once born
And to the earth I shall return;
Like the seed deep in the soil,
As the seed forms into a flower–
But what happens in between,
What occurs as my mind develops,
What befalls the blooming flower…??
Under time, self-awareness every hour.
Thus an awakening of the whole human being,
An elevation of the very mind I must be seeing;
For the mind is the greatest challenge to endure,
For Awakening is the transmutation most pure.
From the head to the heart, from ego to spirit,
As I carry my burdens and seek my answers,
It is the manifestation of love without fear,
It is the mystical path which brings cheer.

For today I thought some funny photos or memes, something to ease the burden we might carry in life. Because, I was thinking, life is better if seen through the eyes of laughter, for life is not a burden or crippling pain, and life is definitely not depressive; however, I know this still happens because the mind makes it appear so. The mind then must be trained to see the positive in situations otherwise overwhelming, and through a smile, a joke, or through some laughter we may raise ourselves above all pointless frustration and all suffering.
So don’t think too much, just enjoy them without judging them. Hope you like these…

When God created woman, he was working late on the 6th day… An angel came by and asked, “Why spend so much time on her?” The lord answered, “Have you seen all the specifications I have to meet to shape her? She must function in all kinds of situations, she must be able to embrace several kids at the same time, have a hug that can heal anything from a bruised knee to a broken heart. She must do all this with only two hands, she cures herself when sick and can work 18 hours a day.” The Angel was impressed. “Just two hands…impossible!” The Angel came closer and touched the woman. “But you have made her so soft, Lord.”
“She is soft,” said the Lord, “But I have made her strong also. You can’t imagine what she can endure and overcome.”
“Can she think?” The Angel asked. The Lord answered, “Not only can she think, she can reason and negotiate.” The Angel touched her cheeks. “Lord, it seems this creation is leaking! You have put too many burdens on her.” “She is not leaking…it is a tear,” The Lord corrected the Angel… “What’s it for?” asked the Angel… The Lord said, “Tears are her way of expressing her grief, her doubts, her love, her loneliness, her suffering and her pride, until she awakens and finds the goddess I have created beyond her gentle and beautiful form.”
This made a big impression on the Angel, “Lord, you are a genius! You thought of everything. A woman is indeed marvelous” The Lord said, “Indeed she is. She has strength that amazes a man. She can handle trouble and carry heavy burdens. She holds happiness, love and opinions. She smiles when she feels like screaming. She sings when she feels like crying, cries when happy and laughs when afraid. She fights for what she believes in. Her love is unconditional. Her heart is broken when a next-of-kin or a friend dies, but she finds strength to get on with life.”
The Angel then asked, “So she is a perfect being?” The lord replied: “No. She has just one drawback, she often forgets what she is worth. And that is why she must dig deep beyond her gentle and beautiful form. She must embrace her superiority and sacredness in a society which will do everything to tame her and keep her goddess from shinning forth, from surfacing.” And soon after that, woman was raised to the heavens and filled with the light and energy of a thousand stars, and she saw herself and marveled at this; but then she was lowered down to the earth amongst men, and the thick veil covering man also bathed her conscience into a deep oblivion… until she wakes up…

Good morning! Feels like a poetry morning. Let us get started then..
The flame of the eternal carries the everlasting word in the heart of two souls, by a bond so strong that it surpasses all flesh and thought…
“The flame of the eternal“
Allow the very flame of the eternal to speak,
Allow our true love to soar ever higher;
As the young lover of the truth does seek,
As our very souls as one ignite the fire.
And let us not be hasty in our true affections,
For patience is the very essence of love;
And let us hold all our mental preoccupations,
For you and I sing with the angels above.
The beauty you carry shines like the moon
With its mighty spell on the heart of the tide;
The smile you bring to my heart is the tune
Which is the very secret to my affections guide.
Your lovely lips drink from the eternal word,
Which gives you eternal youth and splendor;
Your innocence as sweet as the hummingbird,
Your passions grow with the love most tender.
