Aristotle said that those who argue against philosophy are philosophers themselves. One thing must exist as an antithesis to the next. It is simply the way of the universe. Everything holds true within the constructs of existence. This morning, I write to you with many thoughts in my mind. After studying religion throughout the years of my life. Seeking answers throughout all the principles I have been taught to be true, be it Islam, Christianity and Buddhism…You name it…I have made the effort to explore it. I have sought answers that no one and nothing have ever managed to give me. I come to realize that all these schools of thought are simply perspectives of the same source that creates all existence.
You see, God is so funny. A paradoxical entity. There are rules to this existence, yet there are no rules, except those that we impose upon ourselves. There is no good or bad, evil or morality. There is simply causality. Action and reaction as we called it in science. It is simply perspective that ultimately shapes what we feel is negative or positive. Everything has a consequence; it is simply the soul’s choice on whether it is willing to shoulder that consequence. Hence sovereignty. The is no ‘God’ or ‘Devil’, these are terms I use so that all may understand me easily using the concepts that are largely understood in society. These are energetic constructs that exist within us, we are both God and devil, at every moment, we are the ones that choose which one to embody. This choice is guided by intention, what is it that you want to achieve by an action, do I do it with the intention of causing pain or harm, do I do it to bend the will of another, or do I perform my actions from a place of love and my own perceived good whether to myself or others. Does this infringe on others autonomy and right to their experience on this plain. Hence comes the allegory of the thief in the night.
I have often asked this question. If a thief robs a pharmacy. Harms the cashier to get medicine for the ailing mother in order to save her. The pharmacy owner loses profit and is mad, rightfully so. The cashier is harmed and feels slighted, rightfully so. The thief experiences shame. But his mother is saved from the medicine that he stole. The thief is caught and punished, let’s say by the rather popular mode of lynching, for his crimes against the cashier and the store owner. They both find retribution in that act, but the mother loses a loving child. Who is right and who is wrong? That is the paradoxical nature of life in this realm. I leave this question with you. Who do you think is in the right and who is in the wrong? Who do you think will be favoured by the God of the Christians or the Muslims or whatever version of God you subscribe to?
Nikola Tesla, arguably one of my favourite, if not my most favourite, historical figure popularly said that if you want to unlock the secrets of the universe you must think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration. All energies exist across the universe, all in the same infinite moment, we choose what we want to align to. Based on intention. The universe supports each unique perspective. The collective consciousness from which we are heralded holds eternity in a blink, there is no good or evil only alignment to the preferred frequency, that in turn brings a result based on causal relationships which are entirely relative to our own understanding. Everything is one yet exists as a unique fragment with its own essence. ‘Ka’ the essence imbued by an entity during the duration of its existence within this physical realm, the life force, this is unique for every living being, at least according to Egyptian mythology.
Jesus himself was a representation of a certain conscious frequency. Over the ages, different philosophies preaching different perspectives but with the same underlying theme. There are no absolute truths, only unified truths, threads that bind these schools of thought. Patterns replicated across the teachings that are preached. What do you choose to embody today?
Socrates said that the unexamined life is not worth living. So, then we must break apart to be put together again. Everything must be fragmented. Everything must die to be reborn. That is the nature of this universe. Nothing truly ever dies in the way that we think. Energy doesn’t cease to exist. It is simply transformed to a different state. Then again, mine is simply a perspective, the ultimate truth is not known to me. Just like the ultimate truth is not known to anybody, not a priest, a prince or a pauper. Those who claim to know everything know nothing at all. Or do they?
Wake up to reality! Nothing ever goes as planned in this accursed world. The longer you live, the more you realize that the only things that truly exist in this reality are merely pain, suffering and futility. Listen… Everywhere you look in this world, wherever there is light, there will always be shadows to be found as well. As long as there is a concept of victors, the vanquished will also exist. The selfish intent of wanting to preserve peace initiates wars and hatred is born in order to protect love. There are nexuses, causal relationships that cannot be separated.
