DELUSIONS—Reviewers’ Fantasies

Some reviewers suffer from a phenomenal delusion. They think that their liking or disliking a novel determines the quality of the book. Likewise, the buyers don’t care if the reviewer liked it. What the buyer seems to like is the sheer number of reviews. That’s all. Well, that and, hopefully, they like the stars awarded to be higher than four.

The rest depends on the genre.

People who like action, mark down books offering a gentle relationship that matures slowly to a final conflagration.

People who like sex, mark down every book that is not sufficiently explicit to sate their frustrations.

People with dull lives look for escapes into fables of fantasy that give them a momentary escape from the dullness of their lives.

And then there are the egomaniacs who think that their opinions matter. The vast majority of people never read reviews. As mentioned, they look at the numbers. The more the merrier… No matter how insipid.

And then there are the most pathetic reviewers who, while quite unable to write an original word, take it upon themselves to criticize all writers who do not conform to their egocentric idea of what a book should be. Had the great writers of the past listened to their hackneyed platitudes, literature would never have introduced a new, original thought.

My thanks to those few who dared.

Like Franz Kafka.

And then, there are the saddest of them all who are only amused by killing, sadism, rape, and other demeaning traits of the lowest human species. Unless the writer spills blood on every page, unless women are mistreated, unless torture is described in minute detail, the book will get one or, at best, two stars. They call such books “slow”. I call such reviewers “perverts”.

And yet, we writers, need them.

No, not the perverts, nor the sexually frustrated spinsters, nor the dullest of the dull escapists, afraid to live their own lives to the full.

We need people who prefer literature to the reflection of banal writing on hundreds of TV channels. It is for them that we write. It is their opinion we long for.

So when all’s said and done, there are just two reasons for writing a review. One—to give pleasure and/or gratitude to the writer. And two—to try to destroy the book, or at least to diminish the writers’ usually, quite dismal incomes.

If you really suffer from delusions, please, read my book: Delusions—Pragmatic Realism. Delusions abound not just among reviewers but among the scientists and religionists who indulge in fundamentalism.

Creation ALWAYS means bringing something new to the phenomenal reality.

And originality is not appreciated by many. Hence, I write for the few, and to them, I shall remain forever grateful. Their reviews not only give me great pleasure but inspire me to keep writing. Such are many! 

Thank you.

Thanks to all of you.

You know who you are.

HEADLESS WORLD - POWER

Power is neither good nor bad. It is those who wield power that impose their own character on its quality. All gods are powerful, yet only Satan is the model of choice for most people wielding power. Those who place their own safety before the safety of others suffer from catch-22. They strive for that which will ultimately destroy them. Always. They display a condition of separation rather than of unity. Separation from the rest of the Universe.

This alone is Catch-22.  

Power can both: separate and unite. To create and destroy. Regrettably,  more often than not, power is used to set us apart. To create “us and them”.

We were all born to gain power. To gain power we die only to be born again. And again. And… again.

After all - gods wield power.

Often, they exercise their power through us. Through you and me, the moment we are ready to assume power. The moment we can wield it over fauna and flora. Unfortunately, some of us also wield it over other people, often too weak to protect themselves.

And that is our downfall. Abuse of power is our deadly mistake. Why?

<<<POWER CORRUPTS>>>

When we attain power we consider ourselves superior to others.

To wield power as gods do, we must act as gods in all other respects. And gods have a very peculiar trait. They do not differentiate between diverse forms of creation. After all, everything ensued from a Singularity. There is an inveterate oneness with all forms of life. Yes… all men, women and all other living creatures.

Animals, birds, even lower forms of life forms.

The Energy of Life is the greatest unifying factor in all creation. It is also responsible for our Becoming. Even non-sentient creations are subject to this power. Amongst us, it is called Love. It is the centripetal force that draws us back together towards an undifferentiated Singularity. Towards the singular Source that enables us to partake in the eternal process of converting the Infinite Potential of the Omnipresent, Amorphous, Consciousness into a phenomenal reality.

Sometimes, we call this evolution.

We also need power to restore balance. To restore equilibrium. To restore peace gain beyond human understanding.

HEADLESS WORLD—The Vatican Incident, illustrates what desire for power can lead to. It also shows what power can restore a reality of balance - all thanks to a single person.

Surely, the latter is the real power?

This is a novel, but examples of people seeking power proliferate our history. Let us hope those of the present day will quickly learn of the Catch-22; that misused power destroys those who wield it.

Always.

In this life or the next.

Such is the Universal Law.

YESHÛA—The Power of Knowledge

In essence, we are all energy. We are quanta of light, which, when the rate of vibration is reduced, tend to retain their original expression. Assuming Yeshûa’s resurrection was actual and not symbolic, this would account for him retaining his previous appearance, including the wounds he sustained on the cross.

Of course, light also symbolizes knowledge, but even knowledge is organized in quanta of energy.

As is everything.

The eminent mathematical physicist Sir Roger Penrose suggested that: the “Discovery of Quantum Vibrations in ‘Microtubules’ inside Brain Neurons Confirms Controversial 20-Year-Old Theory of Consciousness”, (although is it self-evident that not vibrations cause consciousness, only consciousness causes vibrations).

Scientists often confuse the cause with the effect.

Later, one can only imagine, in realities of higher rates of vibration, the ‘Self’ (quanta of consciousness individualized in phenomenal reality) could change its phenomenal form. The essence remains in true Being that is motivating our Becoming. For more on rates of vibration of energy see Nikola Tesla, Albert Einstein, Richard Feynman and other physicists.

Apparently, beyond the quanta of light, the quanta of thought begin to lose the perceptions of their identity. In other words, the phenomenal individualization of Omnipresent Consciousness can assume other forms of expression. They begin to blend with the Source, from which they materialized as Light, and later as atomic structures.

This accounts for the variety of visions many mystics (of all religions) enjoy.

The ability of an individualized consciousness to manipulate the rates of vibration of diverse energies produces, what is commonly referred to as, miracles. This includes spontaneous healings and other phenomena.

I was deeply surprised, if not shocked, when I realized that Albert Einstein’s indestructible, omnipresent energy corresponds virtually  exactly to the ancient, as well as present chi, prana, holy spirit, manna, ether, orgone, biomagnetism, and zero-point, and some 40 other concepts. This is further elaborated in the book soon to be published by Dr. Rita Louise, “Emerging from Eden”.

  

 

This brings us to my novel:

“YESHÛA

Personal Memoir of the Missing Years of Jesus”

Some two thousand years ago people as advanced as Jesus and a number of his immediate followers, acquired the ability to manipulate the rates of vibrations of energy. They may have been drawing on their subconscious, if not unconscious knowledge, which, with the exception of Jesus, has not as yet reached their conscious awareness.

Their subliminal ability to manipulate energy had been referred to as “faith”. Yeshûa assured his followers:

“…if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move.”

And then he made a monumental statement. He equated us with our latent potential of being gods:

“Nothing will be impossible for you.”

This promise is the absolute, unmitigated, categorical definition of our true nature. The rest is up to us. Faith is an amalgam of energies generated by knowledge and emotions. Together they have an effect on the images visualized by our will.

Good luck.

PETER & PAUL - The reality of illusion.

When you’re immortal, your Being exists only in the eternal Now. It stretches in both directions into infinity. Your Becoming, on the other hand, is illusory.

 Nothing is set in stone.

Everything manifested i.e. observable, is transient, ephemeral, unreal, as though accruing in a dream, which, in a way, it is. A deep, deep sleep.

We only think we’re awake, and for us, whatever we ‘think’ becomes real. For a while. A very short while. Yet, it does seem real to us. After all, we have science to prove it!

Except that scientific theories come and go. Even Universal Laws get expounded upon - they take on a new meaning. Reality - though its potential always was and remains infinite - its manifestations never ceases to take on new forms, new expression, new opportunities for the Infinite Potential to experience new Becoming.

That’s the problem with infinity.

The truth doesn’t change, but it expands. Like the Universe. Or Multiverse. No matter how many realities they contain. Absorb. Metamorphose.

And evolution?

Well, this also expands. Not our bodies, those grow weaker. They collapse. Not even our minds - we hardly use those at all; but, and this is precisely the point, it is our ability to use our equipment that grows, not the equipment itself.

The equipment, namely all instrumentation to convert potential into manifestation already exists within us in… in potential form.

Hence, immortality.

It goes on and on. In fact, it never ends.

Only our egos give up. We continue forever.

And this is where Peter and Paul differed. Peter knew he was immortal. He witnessed his Master rising from the grave, and assuming a new phenomenal body imitating his previous physique (it’s easier than building a fresh one from higher vibrations). He knew that his physical body was but an illusion, to be shed in a few years.

Paul didn’t know that.

At least, not until the very end.

Paul thought he must build a church to follow his image of what Peter’s Master was teaching. A sort of Kingdom. Only Paul was trying to build it on Earth. OF brick and mortar. And marble. And all things transient. An illusory kingdom in an illusory reality.

He didn’t learn the truth until the very end.

INFINITY—The need for Symbolism

We seem to find it hard to accept that our understanding of various concepts change, diametrically, when we observe new realities materializing from Potential to Phenomenal. Infinity, like a Black Hole, makes logical thinking near-impossible.

For instance.

If you travel at infinite velocity, then you are everywhere simultaneously. If your energy is characterized by an infinite rate of vibrations, then it is also static. If you are immortal, then you were also never born.

Infinity is, by definition, eternal, omnipresent, omnipotent, indestructible. It is subject, nevertheless, to the irresistible force of constant metamorphosis. 

Infinity cannot be defined, but it can be, at least in part, described. Definition, as used by our scientists, invariably set limits to the object or concept defined. Hence science invariably places limitations on absolutely everything in the phenomenal world.

Description does no more than to attempt to fathom the unfathomable, to attempt to imagine, to perceive, to sense that which is beyond all sensual perceptions.

 Hence it is the Infinite.

You can call it God, if you like. But it would be a god that is infinite in all potentials, and infinitely impartial to any of its phenomenal manifestations. Like evolution, It would seek expression through the process of trial and error.

It would be a god that is not created in our image and likeness. No long beard.

Beyond concepts of good and evil.

Concerned only with eternally manifesting its infinite potential. It can change its form, metamorphose into an infinite number of its parts, yet the parts would forever remain indivisible from the Whole.

The Old and the New Testaments attempt to deal with infinity. They lack modern verbiage, terminology or scientific precision. We now know that energy cannot be destroyed. That’s pure science. Hence, it is eternal. Like the God of the Old Testament. It is also omnipresent.

We also now know that this Energy, “Divine Spirit” if you prefer, exists in a dual form. First, as the static amorphous form of infinite potential. We can think of It as Being. The second form is dynamic. It is in a constantly changing process of manifesting Itself in a phenomenal reality. The condition of Becoming.

LIKE TWO FACES OF THE SAME COIN.

The two forms are never apart, though the phenomenal form is always subservient to the presence of the potential ‘within’. In as much as the potential is infinite, the phenomenal form is likewise without limits, though is manifested in a continuous condition of expansion. The balance is maintained by recycling the ‘unsuccessful’ attempts of converting the perfect potential into a phenomenal expression. The scientists would call this “falling into a Black Hole”.

Finally, the creative process of converting the potential into a phenomenal form takes place in the “Straight and Narrow” path of the Event Horizon. We can witness the creative process by accessing it through the alpha waves of our brain.

No wonder the ancients had to resort to symbolism to describe their understanding of reality.

Now, we can go a tiny step further.
