The Future Word vs. Omen

Even the most austere of contemplative zen says that eating is itself competition and striving, not resting, for it must obtain food, and that is the best that can be gotten when Lao Tzu wants zen to run politics, and Hsien Tao wants it to make immortals, the most corrupt of the three. All this is in Creel. To compare China with Mesopotamia and the task of divining the future, whether in the pyromancy, sortilege of yarrow stalks of China, liver samples in Syria, or Greek emperors sacrificing animals until they get the answer they want, over and over, beyond the three dove, three sheep limit, whether an emperor should fight or not, or Yeats should go to the dentist, the desire to act rightly is extracted from the man who does not know what to do. Among the Jews, Zedekiah at the Captivity was told to go quietly and  Jerusalem would not be burned, but he was afraid of turncoats in Babylon, and even told by Jeremiah it would go well he would not go and so all was lost, himself included, all because he would not believe. He would not believe the Greek /captains would not do their wills unless confirmed by the omen outside themselves. Omen giving takes away faith everywhere.

  Not the fall of Rome or Babylon but the fall of Israel is the most important event in western civ. And the main issue there is it is a symbol of the human dilemma. How to survive the fall, how to remain pure in the midst of corruption, Jeremiah documents the outer tale, pulled up out of a miry prison where he had been cast, with old rags under his armpits, kept in the court of the prison until Jerusalem falls, then he is taken to Babylon, but not as Zedekiah the king, blinded with his children killed in front of him, but in honor. And this is not the whole tale but only the start for Daniel, whose answer to the dilemma of worldliness is water and pulse, dreams of dreams reconstructed, not deconstructed, who is visited by angels who are interfered with in their flight by arch forces opposed to the whole world themselves, but reveal for all time that council of egregori watcher-nephs that crowd the air so we know them for what they are.

  Not to talk as we talk or think, the unsaid allows the Word to enter without danger into the language of words, the 120 interpretations of a phrase that lead to the real learning. The words within words begin to receive real transmission to create, especially in the disappearance of the master whose 1700 analogies and seven hundred doubts of acquired knowledge emanate from the mind that comes wholly from God, unsaid and said in the picture language we call speech, that speaks of itself and we  hear the sound thereof but know not whence it comes or wither it goes, as in one born of the spirit. By dictation of the preexisting book written on parchment of white fire, with writing of black fire with no punctuation, sentences that neither begin or end, written unwritten, revealed in Yahshua is the speech that creates speech,

 This describes the passage of the celestial to the terrestrial that omens cannot express, the one that becomes many in the domain of reflection and remission, for no sin exists in relation to heaven or earth that cannot be expiated among men in the light of day, but with the understanding that  a single bad action can wipe out an accumulation of 1199 good ones, even that is brought to naught by the severity of the mercy, for free forgiveness is always at the expense of someone innocent who personally assumes its cost, the brother of the guilty who stands in his place and this is the steadfast love good to a thousand generations double.

Naked Angel. Naked Man.

Human consciousness, deep seeded with the  fallen mythology of  angels in their heroic journeys of disobedience, has been possessed by a series of corruptions of men and women in war and seduction, magic and power to further bring them under this spell, which worked so well that human dreams were  thoroughly tainted with the seeding betrayed, like the earth regent myths of old men of the golden age.

For one who does not believe in the unconscious it would seem difficult to explore, but we explore nothingness as well. It does little good to believe there is an impermeable wall like a closed garden around an unconscious individual that walls in its fears anxieties, hopes where everything else forgotten. We might hope these memories exclusive to our selves, but they affect every human being. A collective unconsciousness where hidden, rejected, experiences are shared without our knowing, as if everyone could read our own unconsciousness, but we ourselves cannot, is what fortune tellers and divination lives on. The collective uncon figured in myth and in art depicts a fallen public psyche, but always know this is a substitute for the real. It stands in place of the real the way paradise stands in place of Eden.

So what is the real?  Now you ask1 

Explorations of the collective uncon believed to occur in allegory and adventure like the Odyssey, where the voyager continually confronts ogres and dangers the modern analyst says are his own, or if not his, our own, are infested with egregori and a host of beings of the ether which offer great power and interest, but whose outcome is collective delusion. A man who spreads himself across the bed of this unconscious denies his true nature.

So what is his true nature? There you go again!

 The many sheaths and coverings of human consciousness that enfold these spiritual worlds when stripped are naked. A naked angel has no light. A naked man has faith, for then we were in bondage under the elements of the world, but when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth His Son that we might receive the adoption of sons, and because we are sons He sends the Spirit of His Son into our hearts, crying Abba, Abbi, Father, my Father. Galatians 4.3-6. and that is why we rejoice in His Name all day long for by His favor He has exalted our horn. Psalm 89.17.
