Choice of self

So, let me elaborate further on the practical implication of the “spiritual palimpsest” I described in the previous article.

What it means is that, in absence of your soul providing an overriding influence, the default, strongest and most influential force is the one provided by the global astral field, which is designed by Satan in order to produce just the kind of humans he likes. What happens to those who remain in that state when they die? They go to hell? In my opinion, that would actually be an upgrade for them, because if they are merely the satanic energy churning in the pool of generic unawakened not-really-being, that gets reused between bodies, and it’s like asking where does the electromagnetic force go when the motor isn’t working and the current isn’t flowing. Well, the electromagnetic force is created when the current is running through the coil. If the current isn’t running, the electromagnetic force isn’t being created. It doesn’t go anywhere.

The next question is, what is “self”, the “I” in all this? Vedanta says that self is the witness – the screen in the cinema, so to speak. Since the world is projected on the screen, self is present in the background of all beings. However, self as witness is not a karmically active element, and I am more concerned with self as the active element, of will and choice – not only asking “who am I?”, but deciding on a course of action that choses “what am I?” among the presented options.

So, let’s say we have the default Satanic energy saturating the spiritual life of all humans, as the baseline default, omnipresent like the gravity and the electromagnetic field of the Earth – I call it the global astral field. Then we have individual incarnating souls, imposing their individual karmic pressure upon the field, and locally overcoming its influence in order to create a specific being they will incarnate through. This ability to manifest presence here isn’t “free” – it has to be purchased from the owner of the place; at least, a “contract” has to be signed, agreeing to his terms. The other option is to purchase rights through karmic law, if the owner sins against you, and thus yields authority. The third option is to inherit the effects of previous incarnate beings’ actions, if they applied spiritual force here within the sphere of their authority, creating localized “presence” of high states of reality, that then saturate the place in certain ways.

This, in essence, means that if God wants to manifest a presence here, he needs to agree to Satan’s terms. Usually, this means that he can’t just come here and overrun and overcome everything – but he is allowed to present options, because that is the stated intent of Satan when creating this place, and he always has to concede this. God is allowed to have presence and representation here, and is allowed to present choices and, in fact, to be a choice here.

Also, when an incarnation of God (I’ll simplify it; in reality it’s incarnations of many different aspects of God that are Divine beings as such) creates a presence here, this gives the nameless God a name and a form, it leaves a trail in the global astral field, like lightning in the dark, only persistent, and this network of trails creates a sort of Ariadne’s thread that allows the incarnate beings to navigate the maze – they have other options, besides the satanic global field, to choose from, and thus decide “what” they are. This choice of “what am I” is essential, because it connects different layers of reality, allowing the higher to override and extend the lower, in object-oriented paradigm. The basic stuff remains, of course, because by virtue of being incarnated you have the body that works in a physical reality, but “overriding” a property means to rewrite code of a method; sex, for instance, is a good example, because it is one of the primary driving forces here, and although the physical part is common to all, the spiritual part differs wildly, because a person who made actual spiritual choices to become of God will rewrite their “sex” method, not necessarily consciously, but it will reflect spiritual choices, and so the primary element of sexual attraction will be spiritual, and the rest will be “inherited”. I actually don’t know how to explain this to a non-programmer, but the “inherited” code is executed after the new, original code; it’s like explaining “differentia specifica” of Idared apple sort. You write what makes it special, and then “inherit”, saying “the rest is common for ‘apple’”. In logic, you would say that “Idared apple is apple with the following specific properties: …”. Stating that it is apple is the “inherit” clause in OOP. So, in spiritual-physical terms, you override the sex method, declare as attractive that which is immersed in God, which is of God, and inherit sex from human_male which in turn inherits human and adds specifics for male sexual attraction and activity. So, by overriding the sex property of human existence in order to accommodate for your spiritual choices, you essentially become attracted only to women who embody your spiritual choice, by choosing to be of God themselves, making the presence of God the necessary condition of sexual attraction for you.

Of course, things are messier here, and choices aren’t so clear-cut and precisely defined, because even those who have chosen God rarely have a very good idea about God – they know that it’s something awesome, spiritually powerful, of higher reality, and they can recognize it when they are in its presence, but telling whether something in the world is “of that”, and to what degree, is hard and messy, because people’s spiritual choices are rarely unequivocal, clear and conscious – rather, it’s like a compass needle that generally points at North, but also responds to all kinds of local anomalies, such as speakers and mobile phones. It’s also recursive – you expect to be able to recognize a woman whose spiritual choice is God by the fact that, if you yourself make God your spiritual choice, and become an embodiment of that choice in all ways, she will be powerfully sexually attracted to you, because you assume that she, too, extended her sex method the way you did – adding attraction to God above all, then inheriting human_female, which inherits human, which inherits primate, which inherits mammal, and so on. The messy part is that not all people do that – some, instead of extending sex to accommodate for their spiritual choices and tastes, attempt to eliminate it altogether, under the assumption that sex is inherently an animal and satanic thing and there’s no such thing as spiritual sex. They attempt to have no code whatsoever in the sex method, not inheriting anything from the “parent”, however since the parent.sex method includes some fundamentally important things, not running the code at all can have all sorts of unforeseen bad consequences.

The second messy part is that “God” exists on a scale, or a gradient. A choice for God should be translated as “a choice for what I was able to understand and perceive of God”, and there is always more where that came from. There are all kinds of spiritual beings – call them angels, archangels and what not – and they are all very different, because they see and understand God in different ways, and in different amount, and all kinds of factors influence how much and of what they were able to internalize and be of. You can “choose God” and be a being of white astral light because you understand that much of God, you are able to take that much, and your choice is nevertheless real and valid, but one needs to understand that there’s more, and by refusing to go where “more” is you basically are saying “no” to God, in a way, because there are beings who went for “more” and consist of blue vajra, and beings who went for “more” from that and are of black vajra, and beings that went even further, and are of that, which can wield black vajra.

The third messy part is that when you say that you made all the choices there are to make, and what remains is to “enlighten” others, you basically said “no” to God – basically, you closed yourself for the direction where there is “more”. That’s why I find it funny when people object that I change my mind about things and evolve my theoretical explanations, because am I not supposed to have had the final knowledge from the start, or at least from the point where I started teaching? Well, I was a living Buddha made of vajra when I started teaching, but there was more. Considering how most people are still struggling to absorb the lesson 1 that I gave at day 1, and how those fundamental principles and techniques that I gave from the start are quite sufficient, having been exactly what I was using to get where I am now, I would say that the difference between level million and level billion is irrelevant from a perspective of beings on level one hundred, struggling to get to level 101.

So, what happens after death for beings who made choices to be of God? I’ll try to explain it with a visual metaphor. Imagine a fabric, basically a grid of fibres. Now imagine several superimposed cloths, made of various kinds of fabric, of increasing subtlety. Let’s say a choice to be of God means interweaving the lowest layer of fabric with the one immediately above, and increasing spiritual progress means to interweave both layers with the one further above, and so on. This interweaving is the acceptance and recognition that “I am that”, basically the extension of self, of “I”, into progressively higher realities. The interweaving means that the pieces of cloth are bound into one. Now, let’s visualize death as the process that dissolves the lowest fabric – an acid bath, or fire, or something equally destructive, but only the lowest fabric is destroyed, and those higher ones remain unharmed, as well as their interweaving. This means that your “self” identity remains preserved in those higher “bodies” that you created by your choices, as you became “of that”. If your sense of identity is lacking without a physical body, this starts to weave into the physical plane, connecting the higher fabrics to the physical body, creating a new incarnation. If not, you likely start weaving upwards, trying to grasp the next-higher fabric and interconnect it with your identity.

So, if you are a NPC, a child of Satan that never evolved higher choices, when the body is dissolved, what happens to your sense of identity? Well, since it was borrowed from the global astral field, which borrowed it from Satan in the first place, it was never “yours” to begin with, because if you were “you” enough to claim yourself and strive for an actual existence and identity, you’d probably not be in that position to begin with. And yes, there are also those who weave their identity into lower fabrics of deeply demonic and evil things, but you can already guess where that choice leads, and I would rather not go there.

So, basically, where your heart is, there will also be your treasure – you can choose to gather with the Lord, or to waste with the world. That which is of God, which you gathered into your own spiritual makeup by choosing to be of that, and choosing always more, that is the fabric that is weaved out of the threads of eternity, and survives when the lowest physical fabric is washed away in death. What of you is made of the stuff of eternity, survives time.
