How to await with tranquility the executioner’s block? How to feel “all is well”, when in the world I can see, all is not well?
These questions are at the core of what life on this planet is all about.
I will share as well here a vision I had yesterday. If God is the perfection of latent form, and the angelic a lesser radiation of this, then humankind is form itself, visible form, form existing in the manifest part of the universe. The demonic, then, is that which cannot form, which must feed on the form of others, and in so doing, tear it down and destroy it.
Evil is the process of hurting and breaking others. At its worst, it is enjoying the process of destroying the psychological and moral integrity of others. It is damaging and breaking their internal, latent forms. It is bringing them down to your level.
Love, in contrast, builds form, builds individuality, builds the sense of self. That sense of self, of unique self, is an increase in form, which is to say complexity.
As I have said before, perhaps what is interesting about this world–and I mean the whole of visible existence, the whole of the manifest universe–is that souls of all sorts can “land” here, can incarnate here, and can comingle. The highly advanced can meet the demonic, with all points in between also possible.
Perhaps the demons intend to conquer this planet, and make it less, not more complex. Machines are vastly more simple than life. No machine will ever come within an order of magnitude of the true complexity of a living system. Perhaps they want to make this their “heaven”, which is to say as good as they can get, without growing into truly formed, truly living creatures.
Oh, I’m not sure what I am saying. I am reasonably sure I am saying things I have not seen said elsewhere, although I can’t remember everything I read. I am blessed and tormented daily with a parade of images and ideas and feelings of all sorts. It is my destiny. I accept that is who I am, at least for now, until I can learn to do better.
