Tabernacle with your God; be silent!
These profound words were spoken by Carla on Monica’s show during their discussion on meditation and the techniques.
Carla’s metaphor of the ‘inner room’ of one’s deepest consciousness is significant and ironic in that, in the Bible this Holiest of Holies was restricted only to the highest of priests, and under very strict adherence to law and ritual. This ‘inner room’ was inaccessible to the human.
I wonder why those in authority felt the need to isolate this aspect of the consciousness in such a way when, as Carla has noted, it is so crucial in the evolution of the consciousness into higher being, the connection to God?
I can suppose we all know the answer to that question. Many however do not, and continue to follow such authority blindly.
Be silent!
This is also what the authority would ask so that their motives will not be questioned or challenged.
But the silence which Carla speaks about is not the silence of blind following, but rather the solace of an unfettered consciousness able to free itself from distraction of anything other than its own awareness of its reality.
Many ancients achieve this state using sound, chants and bells for establishing specific vibration and frequency, knowing of the aspects of sacred geometry and divine design. The silence is in the result, not the environment.
With regard to technique, this is important because as Carla noted, one can be in a meditative state as they walk along a quiet path or sit in a noisy parking lot. It is not the environment nor the particular pose that brings one into the experience of the ‘inner room’. It is one’s ability to 'remove themselves spiritually' from the environment in such a way that the external room does not impose upon the inner room.
Many people use many techniques to accomplish this. From Yoga to martial arts to communal chanting, the silencing of the external to enter the internal is very individual. Teachings about cross legged positioning and specific posturing works for some. Others are unable to practice such exercises of immobility.
All are ritual.
And now we get back to the high priest and the means by which he alone is able to enter into the Holiest of Holies.
Ritual!
Many associate ritual with the religious 'right', the antics of the priests and priestesses of the authorities and the blind obedience to law and religious adherence. But ritual is really nothing more than one attempting to enter into the Holiest of Holies; the inner sanctum. This does not take away from the fact that there have been many individuals who have obtained great powers and skills at connecting to the energies and fields of creation, who communities would recognize and acknowledge as beneficial to their communities in positions of authority and ritualistic practices. But it also does not suggest that only such can enter into this 'inner room'.
The Old Testament, written in congruence with the ancient religious aspects of the Hebrew Quaballah and many of the Eastern Practices of worship, which were based mainly on achieving the higher identity of the consciousness, activating the kundalini and opening up the true identity of self, reveals in its many chapters that the Hebrews like many other ancient religious peoples, all sought after the God of creation. And its many rituals are the means to achieving that goal. The difference between the Hebrews and us is that they relied on their priests for the connection to the divine which they believed to reside in that inner sanctum, whereas those on the left hand path have become aware that the true priest is not one authorized by religious authority, but instead any who are able to prepare themselves through ritual for entering into that ‘inner room’ of self-realization as Divinity or something beyond mere human limitation.
And we all have our rituals to achieve that state of awareness.
Ritual is not some set of laws and obedience which cleanse us of our human faults. Ritual is simply the process by which one enters into the Sacred Place; the sacred Eye, the Vesica Pisces. The point of connection where two fields share and unite. The matrimonial bed of Creator and creation.
If one studies the many religious rites they will begin to unravel the main theme and goal of them all as being the opening of a gateway or portal to that Sacred Space. This is why these particular symbols are found throughout so many different cultures and religions. They all seek and reflect the same treasure; the Holy Grail, the astral gate. These are the manifestations of the chalice on the catholic altar, the cauldron in the circle of the pagan, and the concoction in the cup of the shaman. The place of transformation and transcendence from human to higher being. The sacred portal connecting the physical to the spiritual. The alchemical vessel where water is changed into wine, and lead into gold. This is the purpose behind most ritual.
The holiest of Holies; the awakening/realization of the divine within.
My rituals may seem foreign and absurd to many but they are the methods that each field uses based upon its own unique experiences, abilities, and memories.
Others prefer the more quiet and patient approaches. Many, many others on the right hand path prefer to follow their traditions and their priests.
All are one and the same. The effort to seek the Divine beyond our human understanding. The Mystery. Whether one is a guru, a catholic sitting in the pews observing their priests, or the pagan observing God in its most natural aspects, or the Master performing the rites that he/she has enchanted through experiences only he/she could understand, all seek the Divine Mystery and react to whatever degree of knowledge and wisdom their search has revealed to them.
The Shaman uses sacraments to enter into that sanctum of revelation. The rituals around achieving that ability involve traveling from the physical to the spiritual in ways that only the shaman can really understand.
The SerpentMaster/Druid Priest enters into that Sanctum by making ‘connections’ with others that have gone into those ‘other’ places and can offer more experience and information. They/we use the Circles as representations of those fields of consciousness and that Sacred Space, and call on those others to guide and assist us in our efforts to become one with the All.
Religion and ritual is not the enemy to divine revelation. It has always been the manifestation of the attempt to discover the divine. And as is all of the human effort to rise above their own imperfections, religion is wrought with such human imperfection.
Those who point to religion as the downfall of divine revelation do not understand the true concepts behind it. They would be no different than the Romans who sought to eradicate the pagan religion from the new empire.
Ritual is the application of the instrument. The instrument is the deciding factor that enables the aware mating of two fields/circles for the purpose of sharing information/evolving, which creates the personality that discovers its true identity as divine, which can than polarize toward selflessness or selfishness. The more evolved and more powerful that evolving personality of consciousness becomes the more dangerous it actually becomes to its evolution because the paths created by polarization can be either creative or destructive, both to the All and/or to the fragment. This is Free will, and the difference between will and evolving personality/character.
And this freedom of direction is also the intent behind the ritual that establishes the divine connection between the Source of that Direction and Process, and the Being/Performance of that Process.
Ritual opens the door, engages the key, enables the Goddess, creates the connection.
Intention empowers and governs the ritual.
What is realized beyond the door is what becomes God.
And what is brought back from that room becomes the personality of God.
There are many rooms, many expressions, many eyes. Even many Gods.
But there is only one Fire that lights them all and allows that room to be available for the process. And that Sacred Fire remains hidden in Mystery free from the clutches and corruption of the Process it enables.
That my friends is the true God of Creation. Neither you, nor I will ever be that God, that Mystery. It is infinitely a Mystery simply because we are the process and It is the Force behind it All. The wave moves because of the Force which moves it, but it can never become that force, even though it acts as One with it, becoming a force/character/personality itself. The wave is the sea, is the wind, is the gravity of the moon. It becomes the beach, the sound of surf, the environment for other life forms. A vibrant aspect of the All and the many forms it is connected with. But it shall never be the force behind its being/process. That Sacred Flame/Fire/Spirit/Nwyfre/Prana/Chi proceeds from a source of Mystery that will not be realized by the elements it moves upon as their own identity. Such can realize the divinity of their connection to it, and the unity and harmony of the All which proceeds from it, but such cannot become It.
Ritual is the indisputable evidence that this is true. In the ritual of trying to realize our connection to divinity, the one truth that reveals itself over and over is that, regardless of ritual, status or power of ability, all the ‘wave’ will ever achieve is further evolution into a Mysterious Infinity.
We are the wave of the sea of the cosmos, ever surging toward the beach of Infinity.
God is the Force which moves us.
All is One because that is how it has been designed by The One and Only, the One of which we all are a reflection.
Reflections make no sound. Find that type of silence and you will discover your true self.
The Tabernacle has been hidden from you by authorities who do not want you to know that all are able to enter into it as reflections of the All/Process/Being. Their agenda is jeopardized by such truth of empowerment and understanding, and their weapon has been to both separate us from God, or to have us believe that we are all gods, so that we never realize the freedom and enabling that the true Divine Process offers to all. Our rituals of achieving this knowledge have been corrupted by such violation and intrusion.
To truly know thyself one must understand and discern this corruption and return to the Divine Process of Being; neither being God, or being blind follower, but Being the Process which spawned from the One, becoming the All.
Technique and teaching is intention. Being is Personality.
Each is really very unique and very individual aspects of the fragment of the One, which cannot really be taught as immovable or impervious to intelligent speculation, for this individual expression of growth and development is the attribute which enables evolution and expansion of the One into the All of Infinite Mystery.
This has been brought to you all in response to a number of threads and questions here recently, and is not meant to be the preaching of any particular doctrine for the purpose of recruiting followers to a specific belief system. This statement in itself denies such accusation.
