It must be rather terrible to live without any certainty of purpose, without knowing what one is intended to do. Without knowing what you are supposed to do, how does anyone expect to get it done? No wonder humans are in such a state. None of you have any sense of purpose, you have no direction and you lack in the strength to guide yourselves, or protect yourselves.

I realize that’s part of what people come to resent about me, when they come to resent me. I have a sense of purpose and direction, I know where I intend to go in my life, what I intend to accomplish, and therefore I shape and craft my life accordingly, and I actualize the necessities for it. I know most people do not have that. It’s unfortunate. But it is not my lot, for I do have direction, dedication. I have purpose, and I know it which is the part more important than even what my purpose is.

We are all leading different lives, but we lead them toward the same end, it is simply that we are all in different parts of the path of evolution right now. The novice will become the master, some day. Not necessarily what one might consider soon, but sooner still than they realize. We should lead them with reason, harmoniously.

But first one must have certainty of purpose. That is a scarce thing in the humans of this world. Ask them what they want, and they do not know. They have not invested thought in their future, and so they do not plan for their future, they do not anticipate it, and eventually it comes and passes and they find themselves old and unresolved, at the end of their lives and only just beginning to know what it’s like to live. Then they are gone, and that’s life to the majority of you.

Yet there is so much more than that. If only people could realize what they are, be at peace with themselves, be harmonious. Then what a better world it would be, indeed.

More later, I suppose.

            Reading the news is probably one of my greatest sources of amusement, but also of extreme disappointment with the state of human affairs. There is a part of me which still cannot fathom how it is the majority of you lead your lives. I understand the process, illogical as it is, and how it stems from a natural human reaction… but all the same, I am astounded. I know it is simply that you are lacking in the internal fortitude to uplift yourselves, but it’s bizarre that this situation has remained for so long.

            You people are just so prone to miring yourselves in misery and perpetual suffering. It is as though you do not know any other way to behave but fearfully, in agitated manner, ready to lash out and to kill at a moments notice for fear of difference, for lack of understanding. Mostly, it appears, for lack of knowing anything else to do.

            Ignorance and blind obedience keep you where you are, shackled and in misery, suffocating the spark of life which is your spirit. If you must be blindly obedient, couldn’t you have at least chosen to obey someone worthy of respect?

            Apparently, and unfortunately, this is not the case.

            Instead being given their due respect, the wise men among you are banished, driven through the streets until they are killed or run out of town. They say the wise man lives in the mountain, but I don’t think most people realize why this is so. First, of course, it is so because the wise know the value of living somewhere remote. Second, however, it is because the people will not tolerate the presence of the wise.

            The people, as they currently are and have been for some time, cannot bear to have someone who knows the truth, and therefore sees them to be what they are (which is, generally, as someone of many mistakes and frequently of outright criminality), be in their presence. By his very act of being there, the wise man elicits a sense of being judged too great for the people to bear. They know such a man is paying attention and will remember the mistakes they have made, will see the truth of their character despite every shroud they may try to hide behind.

            What they do not understand is that such a wise man also knows better than to burden himself with tallying up the mistakes of everyone he encounters, nor of holding petty grudges. Such a wise man has so much more to do in his time, he knows better than to spend it wasted in rivalries or hostility. If he is cursed by another, he deflects the curse without a second thought, for it is not his burden, and his life is better spent in other pursuits.

            So long as we live in a world where everyone allows everyone else to lie to them, in exchange for being allowed to lie in return without repercussion, where duplicity and falsity is the order of the day, and where honesty about something so simple as one’s emotional state is foreign, then you people will always fear and revile anyone who represents the objective truth. Objective reality terrifies such people, and therefore anyone who deals in objective reality, rather than illusions and facades, will be rejected by those who cannot stand to be separated from their falsehoods.

            They cannot stand to be looked at and seen for what they are, stripped bare of their pretenses. It is hard enough for them to try to hide from themselves, but introduce the presence of someone perceptive and wise, who can see through their shields to their true self, and then hiding becomes impossible altogether. So they run, or they drive the individual from their company, even if that person is their child.

            You cannot hide from yourself. Despite every effort you may make in that regard, all will come to nothing and be fruitless, for you shall know yourself. You shall know every deed, and every thought. For all of time, you will be known by yourself, and you cannot forget, you cannot destroy the memories.

            So I look forward to a time when humans on this lovely planet will realize that they are only prolonging their own torturous suffering with their denial and their unwillingness to confront their own behaviours and hypocrisy. It will come, and I am patient. All things in their time.  

It’s remarkable, how the concept of true love has been so thoroughly destroyed.

The fact that the average person is such a hardened, cynical individual as to scoff at the concept of true love is a sad statement indeed. Yet it is true that there are many people who have grown up and lived their whole lives without experiencing true love. They have experienced infatuation, and a range of emotions and interdependencies, but never have they had unconditional love.

How can it be that a human lives their life without unconditional love?

They do not love themselves unconditionally. Their parents do not, did not, love them unconditionally. How can anyone have a loving relationship with another when they do not even have a loving relationship with themselves?

Of course, then you must delve into the reasons why people do not love themselves. Chiefly, it is that they have no sense of self outside what is affirmed by others, and anyone so dependent on external input cannot sustain their own self-image and degenerates accordingly. Then there is the fact that human beings must be able to derive joy from their existence, and this is not done when one is little more than a cog in the vast, complex machine — uncared for, distanced from everyone and yet so dependent upon them at the same time, leading a life bereft of meaning, of spiritual knowledge or sense of purpose.

Yet that is the lot of many.  These are interesting times, certainly.

There is a difference, however, between loving oneself and being self-aggrandizing. Worshipping ones ego is not healthy. Knowing ones status in life, what is expected of one and what is within ones realm of responsibilities and duties, to both the community and to oneself — these things give one certainty about life, and certainty about oneself. One cannot have the basic conviction of being good if they know that they behave in a criminal fashion, leeching off of others emotionally or openly extorting them, to flat out war-crimes and inhumane actions. If one knows that one is being dishonourable, acting against natural law, then one cannot hide that truth from themself.

Thus, if a truly ignorant man commits a crime which he does not understand, then he may be pardoned, and he may learn the error of his way and evolve his actions accordingly, with remorse for what he did in his ignorance. Ignorance is different than denial or willing self-deception, in which the person knows what they have done is wrong, yet they have done it anyway, whether under duress or otherwise.

One may love oneself when one has certainty of purpose, certainly of being, and thus also a sense of achievement and intention, guidance in growth and evolution. Without loving oneself, one cannot unconditionally love another. To love yourself, you must be honest about who you are, about what you do, about why you do it. You cannot resolve any problems you may be having, nor any dependencies or vices, unless you are completely honest about your motivations as well as your actions.

You cannot give a gift in expectation of something in return. You cannot be cordial to another in expectation of something in response. A woman cannot lead a man on to get to his money, and a man likewise cannot lead a woman on in pursuit of sex, nor the other way around for either gender; as there are many young men who would equally target elderly women of reputed wealth, as equally as women who would lead a man on for casual sex.  Not a pretty picture of society, unfortunately.

You must be honest with yourself and in your dealings with others. If you cannot be honest with yourself about yourself, there is something wrong and you will not be at ease, you will not experience true love, and you will suffer at your own hands.

We know ourselves. We cannot hide forever from the truths we know of our pasts, and we must deal with them. They cannot be swept away and forgotten with time. We will always remember. Even if we forget for a time, we will remember when it matters most. Therefore, if we wish to look upon our memories and feel just, and sure of our actions, then we must always act in accordance with the truth, we must always cede before the correct authorities and before the indisputable objective reality which presents us with the truth.

If we wish to take pride in a life well led, we must take care to lead it well, to make the proper decisions, to be our own guiding force.

Another thing which is important, and which most people do not appear to be aware, is that the most important element of magic is the willpower of the individual human being. Those who master the realm of the spirit, and so are capable of seemingly magical feats, have first got to have one hell of a lot of will power, patience, and dedication. Obviously, it takes many, many life-times and much studying and evolution for one to reach the state of even someone like John Chang.

However, every human being exercises their will power. Given enough time, any one could manifest anything starting purely with the thought of it. Now, we generally die long before the necessary time to manifest grandiose things (depending on one’s point of view) — but the fact remains that the only way to reliably manifest anything is to first be able to visualize it in fine detail.

To this end, every human being should create within their mind and using the boundless resources of their imagination, a wish-dream of how they should like to live and the things they should like to manifest. This is an individual thing for everyone, some of us are prone to larger-scale plans, while most people feel their calling to be a far simpler one. All people, however, should imagine in complete and fine detail, as many times as possible, what exactly it is they wish to manifest.

When one thinks about this, it should be in a sense of it happening right then, of it being real, just around the corner. Whatever one puts ones will to, in thought either conscious or subconscious, is more likely to come to fruition.

This applies to both negative dwellings and positive. Ultimately, one must have neutral-positivity, for degeneration to the positive is as dire as degeneration to the negative.  There must be balance.

Therefore, whenever one is feeling negatively or is sad, they may retreat into their imagination, to their personal wish-dream, and balance their psyche. One may also do this by going out into nature, walking among tall trees or untouched plains, etc.

Most diseases, even and especially those which are fatal, are rooted in an unbalanced psyche. If you are not at peace with yourself, you will bring physical ills and ailments upon yourself whether you make the conscious connection or not. We live in a society where doctors are paid to prescribe medication — they are drug-pushers plain and simple. It is not the health of their patient which they are paid for, but the suffering.

Medicines which only treat symptoms are not effective in the long-term. Only identifying and addressing the root cause of the symptoms will eliminate them. This is known in traditional Chinese medicine. If only the Westerners would learn.

Too bad there’s so much money in big corporations.

To those in this world who are well-intentioned and honest, who do not succumb to self-pitying or to fanaticism, but who know they are not meant to be more than they are, who are at peace with their state of being and their life, and who do not fall prey to blind religious belief, to those who wish for some guidance as to how they can improve the world around them, I issue the following words: 

Do not fall prey to ego, and do not succumb to feelings of self-pity for they lead to degeneration into vengefulness, to a sense of feeling hard-done by. Also, do not obsess over trivial slights of the past, nor over equally trivial gains, but rather assess each and every day as it occurs, with a keen inventory of your supplies and capabilities at hand, and achieve all that you can through work and dedication.

Do not waste yourself away indoors, confined by walls. You must find your way to nature, to fresh air and the outdoors. You must be creative, always with a mind to what it is that you ultimately wish to generate: a long and peaceful, productive lifetime of learning and evolving. You must be aware of your body, and care for your physical needs as well as maintain inner harmony and balance, keeping aware of your own capabilities and limits. 

One can achieve a great deal more over a long span of time if they are careful and prudent with their available supplies, than if one rushes off to explore the world with nothing more than the clothes on ones back.

Be peaceful, but firm about the truth, and have no pretense of knowing more than you do if you do not fully understand the matters at hand. Most humans on Earth are simple-minded and young, as it were. It is not to be expected that they are born ready to comprehensively understand all manner of matters in a deep and meaningful way – but they can certainly learn, and if they are guided by the wise and they have trust in their authorities, then they may blossom and grow until they become teachers and masters in their own right. 

So ask questions, but do not expect to have every answer presented on a golden platter. You must use your own mind, as well, and figure things out. You must learn to develop self-trust, which is different than the feeling of conceit that one must know the truth about all matters. You must be even-handed and fair in your dealings with others, you must be honourable. When you give gifts, never do so with the expectation of getting something in return, because that’s not a gift, it’s barter.

Do not throw pearls to swine. 

Remember that you are what you eat, so do not eat animals that have led tortured, unnatural lives. Do not eat creatures which have been pumped with antibiotics, which have been locked away in cages and pens, which have never led a natural life at pasture. These are unhealthy animals, and psychologically tortured, as well as led to violent, inhumane deaths by the billions year after year to feed the gluttony of the masses. Do not be one of those who feeds on such flesh.

Remember that fresh foods are always preferable, especially during summer and autumn harvest times. Do not poison your bodies with ‘medicines’ which destroy one portion to somewhat salvage, or simply numb, another. It’s not good practice.

 Harmony is a thing which must be established within oneself first and foremost. If you are not at peace with yourself, you will never bring lasting peace to others, be they family, friends, your peers, your community, etc. You must attain harmony and peace within, then within your family, then your expanding circles of influence.

Also, do not let the hostilities of others bring you down with their weight. If another is angry, their anger and their desire for harm and for vengeance is entirely their own ordeal, unless you engage it and allow it to bear upon you. So do not allow it. If another seeks to curse you, deflect their energy back upon them, for it is not yours to deal with. 

Now be in peace.

More dead and wounded. More unhappiness, more heartache, more suffering and misery, more warfare. More lies, and always more rampant, unchecked violence. More people lashing out at one another, out of control and completely without direction, without cause or motivation. By the billions, how they groan and sulk and feel pity for themselves.

You are without comprehension of anything, from the simplest of matters to the most complex — and be no more foolish than you already are, for the simplest of things are as important as the rest. How can you understand anything which is complex, without first understanding the parts which make it up?

There is a difference between talk and action. Consider the Dalai Lama — for all his talk of peace, for all his nice-sounding words, etc. look at the suffering he causes his people. If he were a true spiritual leader, uninterested in political office or standing, rather than the scoundrel he is, then he would not strive with such ambition to see Tibet divided when all it causes is the suffering of those he calls his people. Not to mention, the guy was literally chummy with Nazis. C’mon folks…

Or more classically, the abusive partner who claims to love you. Better still, the mother who proclaims that her love for her children is unconditional — yet she rages, yet she screams and lashes out, yet she spits horrible, vile words in their faces and calls them every nasty name she can think of at them, in her anger she seeks to destroy them… That is not unconditional love. That is not caring, not kind.

It’s not love at all. To walk a tight-rope over an abyss in an effort to navigate the rages of one’s fellow human being, especially when that human being is someone close who should be loved, trusted and reliable — that indicates something very wrong indeed.

Being parasitically needy, unable to sustain ones own self-image and fearful of abandonment (and as a result of that powerful fear, willing to manipulate others) is also not love. It is not protecting someone, nor loving them, to enable such behaviour, either. To sacrifice oneself constantly in a parasitic relationship is unhealthy for both parties.

Yet this is the order of the day. This is normality, and the herd will cull itself of anyone who does not conform. The prisons will overflow with the psychologically-damaged, with the drug-addicted, with the political dissidents and the undesirables, and with everyone in-between, alongside all those innocently-convicted humans… that is already how it is.

Yet the world is full of emotionally abusive parents. Humans who bring children into the world only to neglect them, to demean them, to dehumanize them, to indoctrinate them with their sick religions, to seek to mold them and to punish them for not conforming to that mold — yes, the world is full of people who will abandon their children, who will negate their perspective, who will invalidate their emotions… people who will systemically torture their offspring, undetected by the justice system and without reprimand.

And you people would oppose strict birth control measures — the kind where the majority of people (like you, in all likelihood) would not be allowed to reproduce. On what grounds? On the ground that reproducing is an inalienable human right? Well, the rights of the children trump the imagined rights of the adults, so no. It’s not an inalienable human right.

So on what ground? On the ground that by not allowing people to have children, you are depriving the potential children of their life? Wrong again, but until the population understand reincarnation, they’ll never understand why. The fact of the matter is this: reincarnation is a fact, a ’scientifically provable’ one at that. Because we know we reincarnate, the premise that one is depriving humans of the chance to live by controlling the circumstances into which adults are allowed to procreate, into which they bring another person who will be helpless and wholly reliant upon their ability to provide the proper care (from nutrition, to housing, to education, to love, etc.) — is to be thrown out, for it is a false stance.

Allowing children to be born into inhumane circumstances, to be abused, only causes us to develop one after another generation of degenerating adults who act out of control and without thought or care or guidance. It brings the whole of mankind down. Only by recognizing that the children are our future (a fact which the most powerful among us certainly know) will society make any progress.

Our children cannot prosper in an overpopulated world. Look at us now — we are wasting, we are suffering and driving headlong and blindly into war. It will only get worse with time, at the rate we are going… we’re lucky we haven’t blown up our planet at this point.

I’m tired of the feeble excuses of why it’s too hard, or people just can’t do it. I’m tired of actions standing plain in the face of words, yet the words winning out. I have grown sick of the duplicity, of the ruling chaos, of the amoral actions of the unchecked masses.

Furthermore, I tire of Israel. Truly, I tire of all the fanaticism, and I wish that those of a religious-fanatic persuasion could at least direct their fanatic urges toward the positive aspects of their religion, for don’t virtually all religions have in common some good aspects? Like the golden rule: do unto others as you would have others do unto you.

Now, falsely interpreted one might think that they should (if they wish to abide by this rule) run about giving to everyone they encounter… but such a person will soon find themselves homeless and starving. Correctly interpreted, one understands that the golden rule is to do unto others as you would have others do unto you if you were in their same position. If you were an ignorant fool, would you wish to be told the truth, or would you wish to be deceived and misled?

If you were behaving dogmatically about something which was false, insisting for instance that the Earth was flat and you could fall off the edge — would you wish for someone to correct you, or would you wish to be left as you are?

The average person does not understand what it means to do unto others as they would have others do unto them. Indeed, at this point I would wager that the average person finds the word ‘unto’ to be archaic. The average person, being nice, is an idiot.
So it is. The people are ignorant, willingly self-deceiving fools — and their leaders are exploitative, ravenous predators. One may deserve the other, but it is disappointing all the same.
