Joy! Joy! Those of inequity are exposed! Those who seek the duller side
of life, with only a little of happiness and a little of their love, who
hide from the light with illusions of self-importance!
Hark! Hear them slither under the growth of their own inequity! Like layers
of one thing after another, the layers appear to deepen with their decay.
Yet through all that, those who generate the Light, blind those that slither.
Must it be that those that slither do so forever? That the Light be
continuously suppressed?
Nah! Like the spiritual seed that sprouts from the depths of the mire, through
the sludge, its’ force causes its’ growth of that kind, that it find its’
joy in Light. And in doing so, unknowingly makes servants out of those
that slither. As those that slither are needed to prepare the mire, and
its sludge, without which growth cannot be.
Those that slither seek to maintain the illusion of their self-importance.
To convince others of their supposed magnanimity, and the greatness of their
god is their goal. As the more that believe this distortion of Light, the
more convincing this distortion becomes. Therefore, greater is the necessity
of their continuing illusion of self-importance.
To anger those that slither is to be like the spiritual seed that grows toward
the Light. They will try to destroy it, but in the beginning will not recognize
it. It is only when the seed starts expanding its’ Light, that recognition
occurs causing alarm in those that slither. If the growth continues, the
spiritual seed becomes stronger. As a result of this growth toward the Light,
the Iniquitous’ efforts will eventually fail. However, if growth stops,
then the seed begins its’ decay back into the mire and sludge where those
that slither dwell. And in their illusion of self-importance, will rejoice
in their world of darkness as another has joined them supporting the falsehoods
of their delusions.
It would seem like one is doomed forever if they fail to continue their growth.
Maybe so however, let us consider the possibility that when the illusions
are no longer interesting, then something else occurs. Replanting of a seed
maybe?
The story of the Lotus and its representation of mankind’s spiritual growth
is also known. As in both, the seed starts out in the mud. With its
spark of life longing for the Light it remembers, the seed expands, growing
past all obstacles placed before it. Eventually exposing itself to the Light,
and in so doing, expands to that of the Lotus flower so all may benefit.
And when completed, another seed is made, the flower dies, and that seed
falls into the mud starting the process all over again. Is that not the
process of humankind?
