The world's religions have changed from their ancient demands for blood sacrifice to their modern insistence on a more personal commitment to the divine.
Blood provided life-force renewal to the interdimensional predators who call themselves the gods. But blood-on-demand is nothing in "loosh quality" compared to willing, devoted worship.
Robert Monroe was told as much in his
encounter with the light being (see my two last articles:
Loosh 101 and Loosh 102).
The reason concerns free will.
If that deeply human element can be won over, if the heart and ability to choose can be wholly offered to "the divine," those on the receiving end no longer have to siphon humans for their energy, they can simply assimilate us.
We become one with their system, with their collective consciousness. Our personal energy signature - the soul or ego, individual self, that which makes us creative, original, reasoned, deliberate beings of action - that is taken from us.
Or more precisely, we give it away...
As in the military, the surrender of personal choice results in a strengthening of the collective.
Soldiers fall out of step when they cross a bridge, because the power of marching in unison is great enough that it could break the structure.
If the "Star Trek" image of The Borg comes to mind, the parallel is not inappropriate.
The Borg in the sci-fi TV series were a civilization of beings half biological and half cyber.
Cosmic consciousness is not what we are told:
Cosmic consciousness ("enlightenment" or "Brahman") is a fusing of one's personal self with the force that has hijacked the universe.
We can reason that the Infinite Source of all the egos in the universe must be an unlimited consciousness of love, life, joy, creativity and immortality.
Why would a self-fulfilled, joyous being want to make individuals that don't share in and express Its own qualities?
When meditators have cosmic visions of themselves as all the universe, this is the consciousness they identify with.
By uniting with and surrendering to it as their
Higher Self, they become possessed by the entities who have
taken charge of (and perhaps created) the physical universe.
He reaches out a long arm and makes a swooshing sound with his mouth, drawing the arm back in.
Then he makes a swipe in the air with his other arm, then the first one again. That's Consciousness, he tells us, creating then sucking back in life form after life form.
That is what Tolle has aligned himself with,
A loving and unlimited creator of individual awareness would not create life forms only to destroy them.
Creative people don't make things in order to feed off their creations.
They make things to express what's inside them:
We know this from our own life experience.
If we as humans naturally behave like that,
It's not a very reasonable premise.
That can only be the agenda of limited spiritual beings, who see the manifest universe as their playground.
I remember Tolle's story of his "awakening."
But Tolle's wholeness is a small particle in the vastness of the Infinite.
It is not the Infinite, however much he believes it must be. Brahman is not Infinite, it is the collective consciousness of the material universe, which embraces good and evil, birth and death, as equal in value.
The consciousness of the Infinite surely never
intended suffering or death for its children.
I suggest what he awoke to was assimilation of his will, his personhood, all that made him uniquely human.
He became a vessel for the voice that told him, "Resist nothing" - words that eerily echo the voice of The Borg, telling its victims the moment before assimilation:
Brahman, what Tolle calls "Presence," does bring euphoric peace to the experiencer.
The grave is peaceful, too, but I wouldn't want to spend time in one.
There is peace when an individual surrenders their personal self.
The enlightened need to do nothing, say nothing, become nothing... but to achieve that iced-over state of detachment, that cosmic disassociation, they must sacrifice the most precious thing they have ever been given:
The enlightened willfully self-implode.
And God's very purpose for making them, as a unique, personal expression of Itself, gets subverted.
The gods have not stopped living off human sacrifice...
The rules of the game have only changed a little.
This is the tyranny of One, the reason the New Age teaches that awakened consciousness means seeing "small self" as illusion and "Cosmic Self" or "the One," as the true reality.
The gods are masquerading as Cosmic Self...
Will we choose to amalgamate or to shoulder the burden and joy of becoming conscious, empowered individuals?
The fate of the universe rests on our decision...
