Unknown depiction of exotic life Wednesday: Is it okay to prosper in the material domain? | August 20, 2025 In many great metaphysical traditions it is viewed as something quite bad to prosper while your fellow man suffers, for this is the nature of prospering in the material domain: there are a finite amount of resources on Earth , for the creator did not intend for the creation to be without valleys and peaks – to be without beauty . To prosper in the world, is indeed to stand in material abundance compared to other men: it is to act out the propaganda of the serpent and the agenda of the beast in a more full form, and indeed no rich man in the material sense can be said of being of ascendant rank, at least not if his rank and standing in society is derived from his material health . Verily, there are men of material abundance that can be said to be of ascendant rank but their material success is either due to the divine providence or because the population has extolled this man a...

Moses and the Burning Bush ( סְנֶה ) Tuesday: How to interact with nature? | August 19, 2025 First and foremost before I can address the question under the heading: what does nature mean? Well, nature is the qualities and the aspects of the world that make themselves quite apparent without effort ; that is to say: nature requires no further investigation or effort , it is self-evident and can be seen as an extension of the will of God (Jehovah) . " When a man moves away from nature, his heart becomes hard "—this is a native American proverb, and it goes to show the tendency of men to transform into beasts when they leave the natural domain behind, something that most native American came close to know as the white man ravaged the American continent and subjugated them and their ancient ways, something that white men are quite capable of doing and are still doing in our times. Of course, in a very cosmic sense, white men can be said to constitute cosmic agents of chaos and di...

Krishna ( कृष्ण ) Playing the Flute to Seven Gopis ( गोपी ) Monday: What is love? | August 18, 2025 In my view love is something that may not be clearly defined in the material domain, but what has come to be viewed as love, particularly from around the 19th century and beyond, is something completely different and has very little to do with the essence of profound and true love. First and foremost, love is something only men of ascendant rank can feel towards the creator (Yahweh) and the all, that is all things in existence , but the individualist and bourgeois form of love that has taken up the minds of modern men have nothing to do with this spiritual and divine form of love. Love in the modern sense is just an exercise in power : the man that can be said to be in love is a man of power, material power, and the man that is not in love is also seldom in material power. To feel love is to put the senses or the sexual tension between one man and his partner into a spiritual cont...

Ganesha-Janani ( गणेशजननी ) c. 1890 Sunday: Should you retire from the world? | August 17, 2025 I have admittedly called on people to " retire from the world ", but I recognize that for most people this is quite impossible, or would put them in a very adverse relationship to the forces dominant in their respective societies , all governed by the serpent . So while it may be a practical difficulty in the material domain to just retire from the world, I do hold that on some level it is a prerequisite if you indeed intend to seek the light and become liberated from the propaganda and the ways of the serpent. Sure, retiring from the world may sound like a very radical move , but this doesn't actually have to be the case: see, there are many ways you may retire from the world, and one way could be to continue to be a member of the societal organism , but refuse to interact with those elements of your particular society that has depleted men of their vital essence ; another wa...

Hindu depiction of Brahma ( ब्रह्मा ) C. 1890's Saturday: Shape-shifting! | August 16, 2025 Can humans shift their shape? No, not in the material domain, but humans can surely shift the shape of their souls, and this concept is nothing new, but in our days, during the era of the Kali Yuga , it has increasingly become the common mode of being: modern man has to constantly shift the shape of his soul, for his soul is not grounded in the celestial order , and instead his soul has been made to follow the ways of the serpent. Verily, you yourself has almost certainty shifted the shape of your soul, but this doesn't always have to be a bad thing, but be sure that in most cases today it is a bad thing to shift the shape of one's soul, but this is because it is no longer considered paramount to interact with the world from the point of view of the creator (Jehovah) , and that is due to the malign influences of the serpent , but make no mistake about it, man benefits in the material...

Japanese depiction of Red Amida ( 赤阿弥陀像 ) 1300s Friday: How do you receive an audience with God? | August 15, 2025 First and foremost before I can even begin to answer this profound question I must admit that before you can receive any part of God or indeed any part of the divine aspects of the creation in your own life, you must believe in God , and by believing in God you have essentially opened a spiritual port, and this will due you good and grant you standing with God, and this will also open you up to the sacred and divine world; by believing in God you are constantly listening to the voice and the will of God . It may be that you aren't hearing anything, and this could be due to some kind of spiritual blocking: it could be in the form of a spell; it could also be in the form of a false belief in God, something I lightly covered the other day ; or it could indeed be due to spiritual warfare against you, for the serpent operates to sap you of your will power and your divine d...

Krishna ( कृष्ण ) with Radha ( राधा ) and Two Attendants (recto) Thursday: When is it proper to pray | August 14, 2025 As I covered in the post from July 28 : " ...prayer is the most sacred form the material action of ascending above the Earth takes and the object of why this ritual is performed is a profound question that cannot always be easily answered... ", but whenever it is proper to pray for someone, something, or in order to ventilate and to clear your thoughts, can be a rather hard question to answer, but that is what I am going to attempt to do here today. I don't want to rehash the examples from the post wrote on July 28, you can look that up on your own, but I will write this: there are situations or circumstances in which I and many with me would consider prayer inappropriate, and this can be due to multiple reasons: maybe the person or the object you are praying for has brought the divine vengeance upon themselves ; maybe you aren't actually praying for ...

The Lord Krishna ( कृष्ण ) fluting for the Gopis ( गोपी ) Wednesday: Relationships, good or bad? | August 13, 2025 By the use of the word "relationship" I could mean many things, but in this post I intend to cover only the subject of the male-female relationship, but I admit that the world "relationship" could refer to many other bonds between people , and that a relationship status even between a man and a woman does not have to bring with it necessarily a sexual dynamic, but these other forms of relationships, such as friendships, are outside the scope of this particular post, so do bear with me. Whether a relationship is good or bad can indeed be a rather hard question to answer, but there are a couple of things worth taking into consideration: is the relationship meant for something, that is it the relationship meant to produce something or put something into motion in the material world; is the relationship meant only for the hedonistic self-pleasure of the peo...
