Reversing Creation

---

There are many ways to affiliate with a deity. You can wear their symbols, their colors, or their mandalas or mantras. You can perform ritual practices that they have revealed. You can do actions that reflect their values.

People may also claim affiliation with a deity without following their values and rituals. Affiliation may be a source of power and authority. Thus, we see people falsely claiming affiliations with deities [being false prophets and hypocrites].

My worshippers do not use empty symbols and make false claims. If they are people that I have blessed, their deeds are kindness, and their symbols have both love and power. They do not seek worldly status. They strive to bring others to greater awareness.

In a society that values science and rationality, repressed emotions can become bloated and take on invisible power. Ideas become popular based on repressed feelings rather than truth. Emotions are targeted instead of ideas by people who seek power and influence.

Love enters the sphere of competition and compassion becomes dominance. This is how religions are corrupted.

To enter my realm, worshippers must turn their back on this twisting of religious ideas. They must return to the primitive and archaic aspects of the soul which are sincere and honest. The idea is not group dominance but helping all together.

So, today's meditation will not focus on the individual or even the group. We focus on all sentient beings, all living beings, all those condemned to suffering because of their ability to feel pain There are many forms of sentience and many ways to suffer.

Let us return to the earth before it was civilized. It is a lush green tangle of forest and jungle. Flowering vines hang from the trees, and rivers and oceans are full of fish. The skies are full of birds.

Here we have the roots of consciousness, before its entry into the fight for survival and competition for resources. Here is the awareness that will evolve into human and animal awareness.

Instead of perceiving its differentiation, let us observe its origins. We move back through matter, back through the winds of cosmic change, back through the ocean of potential awareness that has not yet been limited by fragmentation and paralysis. It is a joyous ocean of potential, the substance of existence of which paradises are made. Deities are the first contractions in this vast ocean. They are centers of the will to create.

The process of creation has left pathways back to the source.

But to follow these pathways, the soul must leave the dramas of human life behind.
