Today I will conclude with Part Two of my subject. The picture to the right represents the story of Pandora who opened a box and let all the Evils into the world and kept back hope. For those who want to know more about this story please go here.
The reason I included this story is that it demonstrates my earlier point that most cultures have a narrative about Evil getting into the world. Or what can generically be called the Fall - that is when humankind fell from the Paradise that they were supposed to live in.
That is why I believe that our task one earth is to facilitate a return to the Garden. For some that may take the form of reaching Paradise in Heaven. For others it may be Nirvana. And for others it may mean creating that Paradise here on Earth. Whatever for it takes that I believe is the primary spiritual journey of anyone on earth.
Part of the journey may be the perfecting of ourselves or of our service to God or humanity - but I believe that these goals while laudable in themselves are not the end of the journey. The journey can never be just about ourselves as individuals because whether people realise it or not we are all One. Therefore the return to the garden must involve other that we now in our limited perception see as separate from us. In reality the Return to the Garden is a collective journey of many souls.
Many people believe that we at a special time in spiritual journey of humanity and it is reaching critical mass. I believe this may be so because the Evil spawned since 1914, (the start of the First World War), has been unprecedented compared to any other time. We have used our technology to enhance our capacity for greater and greater violence both physical, (war, rape etc) and mental/emotional, (certain types of pornography and child abuse etc). And of course all violence leads to spiritual damage.
I do not personally believe that the Return to the Garden has changed in type in recent years - it has been going on since humanity first left. However I do believe it is speeding up and intensifying in these present years. That is why the old structures like the economic systems are breaking down - and why the earth is going through great climate changes etc.
Something is going to happen - but I make no forecasts as to what. However this I do believe. Whatever you believe to be true will - in a spiritual sense - be true for you. You will shape your own Reality until we all are able to see the Actuality. (Which I believe no - one absolutely no-one on this earth knows the full truth about - and I would suggest you run a mile from any person or organisation that makes this claim.)
I would also suggest that you avoid any simplistic philosophy that suggest you can create your physical reality simply by your thoughts. This is dangerous nonsense. I have not met a person yet whose thoughts can supercede the physical laws of the universe. If you meet such a person I would recommend you sent to James Randi - he has a lot of money waiting for them.
Also beware of persons who claim that you can totally control your life and the world around you by your thoughts. This isn't even physically logical and morally it its reprehensible. Think about it - there are six billion people on this planet - do you think you control what they do? And even if you could why would you want to - what about their desires and freewill. Even the Creator has left people to operate with freewill - who would you be to change that - that would be manipulation and that is Evil.
Also beware of people who can claim to change your karma or your fate. Who are they God Almighty Him and Herself? It is true we are all part of God but we are not God. And the majority of these people will alleviate you of great wads of cash in process and then tell you if what they predicted did not take place that "you didn't have enough faith" or something along those line. Beware false prophets indeed!
You are your own best prophet. Sure you can seek out guidance for your journey but the best guide you can have is the Voice Within and the very best guides are the ones who will help you to find that.
I look forward to seeing you in the Return.
Remember I love you all
And until next time,
Blessed be,
KK
