\u201cLady Zina, Lord Buddha, will you please assist me?\u201d, Lord Vishnu called. They were all quite relaxed after being temporarily done with the hard issues, and were all smiling.<\/p>\n
\u201cOf course, my Lord\u201d, they both nodded and joined him.<\/p>\n
\u201cLady Kay, Lord Azrael, would you too please join us as well?\u201d, he waved.<\/p>\n
\u201cHow may we be of assistance?\u201d, Azrael replied, and Karuna smiled.<\/p>\n
\u201cLady Karuna is the Mind of God, and I will want her to listen to what we\u2019ll say and give me her opinion, since she is the wisest and her thoughts are deepest\u201d, he smiled at the blushing girl. \u201cLord Azrael, along with the two of you, has the greatest experience with humans, so I would appreciate his feedback as well. The thing I want to consult with you about is something I\u2019m personally uncertain of, since it deals with matters of religion, or, more precisely, spirituality and spiritual ethics based on actual realities, but from a human perspective, when incarnated on Earth\u201d, he nodded.<\/p>\n
\u201cOh\u201d, Buddha nodded with understanding.<\/p>\n
\u201cIndeed\u201d, confirmed Vishnu. \u201cThe religious philosophy that you established seems to be a resounding success. I think we need to learn from this success and build upon it, which is why I will ask you first: when establishing another religion, what would you repeat, what would you do differently, and what are your general comments on the matter?\u201d, Lord Krishna inquired.<\/p>\n
\u201cAn interesting question. Well, first of all, I would want to establish the cornerstone elements of reality, because any religion that is to succeed must be based on reality. They are in a world that is in its essence a persistent, very convincing illusion, especially designed to inhibit insight into reality, and substitute its own false perspective. If we are to successfully fight Sanat Kumar\u2019s plans, this is the primary vector of attack that I would implement. Do you agree?\u201d, Buddha looked at his esteemed coleagues.<\/p>\n
\u201cIndeed\u201d, Vishnu confirmed, and the Mind of God nodded in agreement. \u201cFighting illusion with reality is an excellent approach. However, may I ask about the specifics? How would you approach reality from a world that is specifically designed to make it nigh impossible?\u201d, Kay asked.<\/p>\n
\u201cWithout knowing what is technically possible, I would concentrate on things that actually matter the most, and cause the most problems to incarnated souls. I wouldn\u2019t necessarily make it complicated. Things like, this place is not all there is. There is God, meaning transcendental supreme reality. This reality is not something distant, it\u2019s within you and everywhere around you. Your actions and choices matter, as they determine your destiny in the afterlife, and yes, there is an afterlife, and it’s better than what you have now. Have faith in dharma and don\u2019t retaliate, don\u2019t react with evil and hatred to evil and hatred. Love, truth and compassion will free you, while anger, hatred, malice, envy, spite and cynicism will doom you\u201d, he was deep in thought. \u201cThe part about this not being all there is, and the fact that there is eternal life beyond it, that is very important\u201d, his wife interjected. \u201cThat\u2019s what almost killed me, the belief that there\u2019s nothing past Earth, no eternal life, just what we have there, and Mother had to save me by showing me transcendence and eternity in order for me to be able to process it emotionally\u201d, she nodded.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis was one of the errors of my former approach\u201d, mused Buddha. \u201cI didn\u2019t want to talk about transcendental realities because if people can\u2019t see them in person, they will fill their heads with all sorts of nonsense that will actually stand in the way of salvation. However, without clear ideas about salvation as a positive thing, it\u2019s very hard to get a clear grasp of things and the philosophy becomes mostly about avoiding bad things, without a clear goal\u201d, he shrugged.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think I would want to keep it simple. If at all possible, show them what we feel like. For all of us, the goal isn\u2019t abstract. It\u2019s us, to each other. We all have a person we adore and belong to, and we are saturated with what God feels like. I would want to show them what God feels like, and then give them intellectual framework to conceptualise this in whichever way they are comfortable with; but without actual spiritual connection with the goal, it\u2019s all going to become just another worldly religion people kill each other over\u201d, the Mind of God voiced her opinion.<\/p>\n
\u201cI would want to have some actual evidence and demonstration that physical death is not the end. I\u2019m afraid that without that, it\u2019s all going to be dismissed as a coping mechanism. This belief that death is the end is one of the most harmful consequences of Sanat Kumar\u2019s evil. If they think death is the end, they will be open towards all evils \u2013 indulgence, despair, cruelty and so on. Also, I would be very careful to avoid mentioning the fact that most bodies are empty, in a sense that souls are actually rare. This is a super sensitive information that should be shared only by a God who can explain it as well as you could\u201d, Angel of Death nodded at the Buddha. \u201cThey need to treat everybody as if they were a child of God and their best friend. That\u2019s the only way they will act ethically and in ways that are conducive to positive soul formation\u201d, he concluded.<\/p>\n
\u201cAll of your ideas are excellent, and offer a much needed clarification to my general and vague concepts\u201d, Lord Vishnu bowed to his friends. \u201cI now need access rights to the Jewel and the Earth system\u201d, he was deep in thought. \u201cAh, Anthea. She belongs to Sanat Kumar, and is outside the Throne of God. She is his property and acts in his name\u201d, he smiled.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd she insulted an angel and a God\u201d, Lady Zina smiled widely as she understood what he was getting at. \u201cThis is a karmic offence which creates an opening for you\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cExactly\u201d, he smiled at the wise Lady. \u201cAnd also, the Sentinel, who was the person in charge of giving access to the Jewel. Lord Shiva, will you please join us?\u201d, he waved at his buddy.<\/p>\n
\u201cSure thing, Lord Krishna\u201d, Shankar joined them. \u201cMay I understand that you have need of that frozen scream of terror that I preserved, thinking we might find a use for it at some point?\u201d, he grinned at Vishnu.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe would indeed be in a pickle without your foresight, brother\u201d, Vishnu clapped Shiva\u2019s shoulder. \u201cGentlemen, may I claim your grievances?\u201d, he addressed Buddha and Azrael.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou are welcome to them, Lord\u201d, they nodded.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd Mahadev, may I get access to the Sentinel, and through him, to Earth?\u201d, he bowed to Shiva.<\/p>\n
\u201cBy all means, my Lord\u201d, Shiva bowed back.<\/p>\n
\u201cThen I have all I need\u201d, Vishnu grinned, turned his eyes inward, and started making hand movements. The Gods and Goddesses all felt a stirring within Reality, as something changed, and they looked at each other and Lord Vishnu.<\/p>\n
\u201cDone\u201d, he sighed and smiled.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat did you do?\u201d, they inquired.<\/p>\n
\u201cI implemented your wise and good ideas, my Lords and Ladies. There are going to be visions of us, and there are going to be religious scriptures describing our persons, actions, thinking and feelings, with enough mantric accuracy as to enable transcendence and salvation if proper discernment is present. They aren\u2019t going to get everything right, but it\u2019s going to be close enough. Also, there is going to be a surge of ethical philosophies that in essence amount to what Lord Buddha suggested, with more or less resonant accuracy. And finally, there is going to be an attack on Sanat Kumar, and a resurrection\u201d, he concluded.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat kind of an attack?\u201d, the Mind of God asked.<\/p>\n
\u201cResurrection?\u201d, inquired Buddha.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou just conceived a son with another woman\u201d, Lady Lakshmi pretended to be distraught. \u201cThat\u2019s not fair; what about me?\u201d, she smiled at her husband and poked him in the ribs.<\/p>\n
He smiled back and kissed her ear. \u201cAs far as I can recall, you recently had a beautiful Goddess daughter quite on your own, and without my assistance\u201d, he said. \u201cBesides, I conceived a child in a wonderful young woman that just happens to be conceived from one of your tears, artfully placed by our beloved and hundredfold-worshipped Lord Shiva, which means, if she keeps being a good girl, and comes back to you, it will have been you, truly\u201d, he whispered seriously.<\/p>\n
\u201cWow\u201d, Lakshmi was astounded.<\/p>\n
\u201cI will get to actually have given birth to our son?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWith your blessings, oh Fortune\u201d, he smiled mischievously.<\/p>\n
\u201cBy all means, my Lord\u201d, the Lady curtsied, unable to hide a blessed smile.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut now that we\u2019re on the subject of\u2026\u201d, he turned inwards and an angel appeared.<\/p>\n
\u201cHello Gabriel\u201d, he smiled. \u201cWill you please do something for me?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cOf course, my Lord\u201d, Gabriel bowed deeply.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s a young girl on Earth that is in the process of conceiving a child due to my intervention. Would you please make sure there are no misunderstandings and that no harm comes to her?\u201d, Vishnu asked. \u201cHere are the permissions to access and intervene\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt would be my pleasure, Lord Krishna\u201d, the angel bowed again and shimmered out.<\/p>\n
\u201cNow that\u2019s taken care of, may I have another coffee?\u201d, he sighed and smiled, and his glowing wife rushed to refill his cup.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m going to actually be a mom\u201d, she whispered.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou already are\u201d, her daughter winked.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou know what I mean\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cI do, but this is fun. Congratulations on your magical pregnancy\u201d, the Goddess of Wisdom patted her Mother\u2019s tummy and made her giggle. \u201cI can\u2019t wait to meet my baby brother\u201d.<\/p>\n
