In the March 27, 2013 post on Ancient Origins website, William
Bramley author of 'Gods of Eden' has said:
"Based upon some of the Ancient
Astronaut evidence, the Great Flood legend, and the UFO evidence
connected to the Black Death, my guess was that the ETs'
solution would be another annihilation of humans...
Such annihilation might be in
connection with their creation of a new version of Homo sapiens
that is more compatible with the ETs to replace us, just as
custodial ETs had reportedly done in pre-history to create the
current version of homo sapiens..."
This intriguing conjecture portends the
end of a
Cycle of Time, which leads to the fear-loaded
question of the
Harvesting of Souls. The archaic phrase 'harvesting
of souls' is in fact specious, wrong and misleading. There is only
the One.
There is only one Soul.
We all share the
same Soul, the Oneness.
“I am the same in all beings.”
[Bhagavad Gita IX.29]
We exist individually as spirit or
astral bodies that transmigrate, moving from one material body to
another by the law of magnetism.
Like attracts like. Our actions,
thoughts and consciousness create the subtle or spirit body over
hundreds of life times. In Sanskrit the subtle body is called the
SHARIRA. Seers and psychics can easily see this body and read its
condition.
The word harvesting is also misleading. No one can 'take' you or
make you do anything unless you yourself have generated a
consciousness that resonates with a particular force, a waveform
that would then magnetize you into its similar frequency.
Therefore a deeper understanding of the
mechanics of this process will relieve you of fear and help you to
realize why it is imperative to generate a high consciousness at
every moment.
The Subtle Body
As you incarnate in Time and Space, you
build a subtle body - also termed as the spirit or astral body.
In Kashmir Shaivism is it called the
puryashtaka rupa [Sanskrit]. Like the physical body, the subtle body
contains a complex nervous system.
These,
"nerve currents are called Hita
Nadis [Sanskrit] and they are very fine in structure, finer than
even the thousandth part of a hair. Through these very fine,
subtle nerve currents pass the serum of the essence of the human
individual…”
[Brihadaranyaka Upanishad,
translated with commentaries by Swami Krishnananda and available
online].
These subtle nerves store the
impressions of our lives and our thoughts.
Every thought, every experience is
stored in this the subtle body that carries our individual
consciousness from one life to another. This individuality is only a
temporal 'appearance' for beneath all forms of multiplicity is the
One, the eternal Real.
It is this aggregate, this cumulative consciousness that determines
our next incarnation. Inevitably, inexorably we become that which
our actions and thoughts, our own individual consciousness has
self-created, self-generated. We alone are responsible.
We are drawn to the external holographic
manifestations of our own thoughts. There is no one to blame. It is
all our doing. We are each a portion of the Oneness playing in Time
and Space - like everyone else.
The eternal, imperishable, immutable Oneness assumes a temporal
'appearance' in a fragment of Its Self as the individual. When we
are born we move into a new physical body and when we leave, meaning
die, we do so in this subtle body.
The subtle body is our
data-collecting vehicle.
It carries the five senses and the mind,
the impressions (samskaras) of our experiences as,
“the wind carries scents.”
[Bhagavad Gita XV.7 & 8]
Like attracts like!
From an understanding of the subtle body, we realize that no one can
ever actually 'take' or harvest our soul. Our own consciousness has
built the subtle spirit body. We will be magnetized to
the-where-and-what it resonates with.
Like attracts like - that simple!
Location is
determined by your consciousness
Consciousness determines everything.
In
the Bhagavad Gita, Krishna
says that,
-
the god worshippers go to the gods, the god worlds
-
those
who worship the ancestors go to them, the ancestral realms
-
those
who sacrifice to the spirits go to the spirits (bhutani), the shaman
worlds
-
those who Know and Become the One merge into That
(BhG
IX.25)
There is nothing wrong in any of these forms of worship.
However,
these approaches are only,
“partial manifestations of the highest
reality.”
[Abhinavagupta, Bhagavad Gita VII 21-23]
The Invisible Realms
In previous Cycles of Time, we were not limited to the five senses
and we were aware of these off-world realms now invisible to most of
us.
As individuals we have played in these realms before. We may
have bonds with them. If we humans were created by off-world beings,
then it is only reasonable that they will want to salvage what is
rightfully theirs - family DNA.
However it is up to you to decide
what you want and where you want to arrive.
Are the ETs
Enlightened?
The
so-called extra-terrestrials are merely the inhabitants of the
Myriad Realms.
They may have grand technologies and may be very
pretty, but,
-
Are they enlightened?
-
If they were enlightened would
they be in these phantasmal realms?
-
If they are not enlightened, if
they do not have the understanding of the One, if their
consciousness has not reached eternal Wisdom, if they have not
Become the One - then why do we need them?
The Oneness pervades All.
However, these Myriad Realm beings in
their countless phantasmal hierarchies do not want us to know that
we too are the very Soul permeating this entire universe.
-
Why trust
these myriad spirit guides, ETs, etc. if you have no idea who or
what they are?
-
You would not walk up to any stranger on the street
and give your life over to them, would you?
-
Ask yourself what does
'saving' you mean. Exactly where will they take you?
Our Refuge is
a Higher Consciousness
If we are facing the end of this Cycle of Time, as many are
suggesting and feeling, then our only Refuge is a higher
consciousness. Use this time wisely. Do not waste it in fear.
You
are the Oneness. You are That.
As they say in Sanskrit,
Tat Twam Asi
- That thou art!
