MY DISCLAIMER, AND THE ADAM DREAM




If you have not read the two previous posts, I suggest you do. This is a continuation of the post THE PREAMBLE: TO JEW OR NOT TO JEW, followed by the post THE LORE: TO JEW OR NOT TO JEW.

The information is meant to flow so start with the preamble and make your way through the second post, then to this post.

Before I start The Adam Dream I want to make it clear where my head is at.
As, many before me, I am quite amazed at the huge number of books written on Wicca, and Witchcraft and Druidism, and Celtic Mysteries, and Spells and Kabala, and (big deep breath) The Knights Templar and Tarot, and…….and…….and…….

I do have an opinion about this to share before I begin the story.
I will tell you now I have never read The Da Vinci Code ( I am waiting for the movie). I haven’t read any books by the authors of The Messianic Legacy. Nor have I read too many of the plethora of self help witch books.

I have Harper’s Encyclopaedia on the Paranormal. I have the Book Witches Pagans and Magic. I have a tiny book identifying the Chakras. I have a book on Botany, a book on herbology and a book that outlines Sabbats the Equinoxes the phases of the Rites represented a such. I have a study on Occultism and a study on Superstition. I have one book each on Hinduism, Christianity, Jews God and History, Islam, Buddha, Tibetan Buddhism, and Fundamentalism. I have one book on Pharmacology, three books on Anatomy, and an Encyclopaedia of Medicine. Plus I have 6 Versions of the New Testament, 1 version of the Old Testament. I have 7 Hymnals, 1 Musical structure book of the Psalms (as I was a Cantor for many years). As well as one study in Prestidigitation, 3 studies on Spirituality which were written for the Baptist Ministries. I have one Ouija Board from the turn of the last century, I have three copies of FATE magazine from the 1940’s, and 5 studies written By Dr. James Alcott a Toronto sceptic. I have a stone salt vessel, an iron char burning vessel, I have 1 dagger, one feather, three Hand Fasters (which are used in the Unification of a couple). I have three Tarot Decks, one set of Ruins, I have a Gavel, I have a Séance Table, and five stone and one silver Cups. Plus one Crystal glass and one Crystal basin.
This is my arsenal.
I don’t have a huge number of New Age Books in my collection.
I have more interest in world religion and how it melds with Spirituality. I have a great deal of interest in Christianity as well. For as a Spritualist I am called upon to do healings and readings for Christians in the Temple and for other faiths outside the Temple. I have to understand all beliefs that may come to me for spiritual readings and guidance. It would be rude of me to try to help someone and know nothing of their belief system.

And my next comment may seem rude itself.
I appreciate the fact that there are so many people sparked into beliefs because they and their friends read a book on Witchcraft , etc. I have compassion for those who are searching for something and are trying to find it within Spriritualist beliefs. But there are many people that I come across that associate their new-found enlightenment to be associated with everything from Aliens to Fairies( my Husband is from Newfoundland so we find the myth of Fairies very interesting), from Cabbages to The Devil. But when the span of someone’s beliefs is changed every day by the newest Occult book that hit the shelves in the Big Box Store…..I do have a name for them. I call them New Age Flunkies.

Why? Because this belief in Spirituality the Ritual and Rite and the relationship with a power greater than one’s self does not have to be that complicated. You don’t have to have the latest Ring, or the oldest book written by Crowley to be a believer. A believer is not to be bound by the Stuff, but the Substance.

Lore is Lore. It is a lesson. A lesson shared by imperfect humans one generation to another embellished and interpreted along the way. It is passed along and you can use it to strengthen your belief system or use it to explain your belief system.
The books one buys on the New Release shelf are not a Dogma.
If one Spritualist or Witch or Druid does their preparations or rituals different that is ok.
If one associates very Catholic ideals to their Witchcraft that is ok too.
The Lore I shared last proves that the rites and rituals have been dynamic since the Levites came to the Wilderness.

I have one more thing to say about the modern world. While it is true that the Levites were most likely practitioners of Kabala and it is very possible the rites and rituals of the Druids are mirrors of Kabala the New Age Flunkies need to know one thing.

Under the Dogma of Jews, and the teaching of their scholars for now thousands of generations, it is absolutely forbidden that anyone but a Scholarly Rabbi who has great knowledge of his world and the world around him ever begin to interpret the ways of Kabala.

I cannot even pretend to know the slightest thing of Kabala. I may know of one reference to it that many other beliefs mirror.

It is with no respect to the faith that the New Age Flunkies decide some 1990’s publication of the idea of Kabala can enrich man of today. It is an embarrassment to me to hear women say they are practitioners of Kabala. That is a farce in itself. True Kabalic text is only to be interpreted by the male elders of the Jews. If there are female elders preaching equality and reform for this within the Temple on Fridays, so be it. They are are in the right place to create such a forum to argue their point. But it is sacrilegious for a Female, Rock Star, post Catholic to state they are Kabala. I would love to see what drawer she pulls her Schemata from! (and a wink must be added to the end of that line for all my Hasidic friends)

What do I believe other than what I have already shared? I believe in one strong thing.

If God is God because we are believers, and the Spirit of God lives within us. Then if we stop believing the Spirit of God will no longer be with us and God will cease to exist. If Satan is a demigod then Satan can only exist if we believe it, as per the rite for God. If you do not believe that The Devil exists then it cannot exist. Therefore I do not believe in the Devil, or in Spirits who are evil. I believe what personifies that which may be considered Evil Spirit is not Spirit at all, but Entity. Entity is a negative energy that is created by imperfect Carnal Man, it is not of The Spirit which is perfect.

What the heck does that mean? The Adam Dream will explain what OF THE SPIRIT means. Carnal refers to man in the flesh. The being whose only existence is to fulfil earthly need, such as Food, Water, Shelter, and Pleasure. The imperfect human that is bound to die on this plain because of imperfection.



THE ADAM DREAM:

About 20 years ago one of my brothers from the Temple sat before us on the Sabot and recited to us the most wonderful essay explaining the first book of Genesis. It is a great interpretation of what it is to be a Spriritualist. I am embarrassed that I cannot remember his name so I could give him the recognition for this great piece. I have told this story over and over to other groups around the world. I take no credit for this Lore. I can only share my oral interpretation of this wonderful essay. Each time I share this essay I feel the Spirit fill me. I feel God opened the door of this man’s soul and gave him the way to interpret the belief for the modern faithbuilder.

Here it goes:

Close your eyes. Take a long gentle deep breath, then allow yourself to breathe so relaxed and quiet. Hear my story.

Picture Paradise. The garden of Eden. We all have an idea of how it is. If you don’t believe in the place of Eden, then think of what you think Heaven or Shangri-La may be like. Imagine a place of perfection. The land of plenty. Imagine the God of your understanding in this place. Think about Adam and Eve. Adam and Eve were not the only souls in the Garden of Eden with God. We were all there. Imagine everyone that has existed, is existing and will exist being in the garden with God, Adam and Eve. None….not God or Adam or Eve or we were of form. We were just souls. Energy existing.

At this time there was no original thought or action. The idea would be that if God was able to take a breath, then all would take a breath at the exact moment in unison. When God had a thought we would have that exact same thought. There was no time or space in Eden. Nothing could be measured by geometric boundaries of the time of this plain. The Souls were appendages of God, full and complete with his essence Then two souls, for lack of a better word, mutated. Upon this change the two were scarred by one act. An original thought.

Upon this strange occurrence all the rest of the souls were scarred the same way. Suddenly all the Souls were no longer linked to their God. This could have been an evolution of the souls and inevitable, or it could have been an intervention and not expected. Whatever the situation the Souls were all there and no longer linked to God, but were bound to original thought. The souls were no longer perfect and Eden could not hold them in this imperfect state that long.

Suddenly the Souls began to feel emotion, and with emotion came acts of questioning and fear. All of the Souls were released from Eden, and they came to exist on the Earthly plain. Remember there is no space or time in Paradise. So eventhough all the Souls released at the same time, they did not exist on the Earthly plain at one time.

Each Soul has no memory of the amount of time that has passed in Carnal existence. It is like the separation from God happened only a moment ago. Each Soul has one purpose and one purpose only. To get back to Eden to be One with God once more.

Man’s only reason for existence is so the Souls will finally reach Eden to be One with God and never have to come back to the Earthly Plain.

Souls need to learn before they can ever hope to be reunited One with God. They learn on the Earthly plain using emotion, experience and memory. They Learn on the Spirit plain by understanding and teaching and guiding. So the Souls are bound to live and die and reincarnate until they have reached a level of Spirituality that will allow the Soul to meld with God again.

This is why the Spirit can learn over and over again on the Carnal Plain and in the Spiritual Plain. Once the Spirit of the departed gets to the Other Side they will know if they must do more Spriritual work to be able to be one with God. Our existence in Soul is not bound by life and death. It grows on both sides of existence. And only the ones that have reached Glory and are one with God again do not recycle through the plains. The higher a Soul is in the plain after Death determines what they will do to rise to a higher plain. Thus Spirit Guides and Angels come to exist in a realm neither Carnal nor Eden.

Man’s Quest for life is to raise their Spirit to be One with God upon Carnal Death. To get back where we came from.


So Mote it Be.
