Wake up, your soul is talking to you. Your soul is Yin+Yang. Zhen. Central.
"What language does your soul speak?"
Have you spoken to your soul lately or Do you need an interpreter? Do you weave? The tapestry of life is quite large. It is a challenge to know where you fit into it, but I am certain that each thread has a purpose in this cloth.
I explore life based on the Taoist principles we know as Yin and Yang.
Why do we have a split brain? Is it the Yin/Yang expression of Two Gods inside One container? It is quite Modern to believe in the Only One, but I see the results of that dogma causing harm to Mother Earth, and her children.
We are made in Gods’ image, gods plural, a receptive mother godess and a projective father god.
We are The Two Into One.
The Tao is The Way. The Way is the curved line between dark and light.
Modernian religious belief is the same for the four majors. Judeo, Christian, Islamic and New Age. It seems that these ideologies all profess The One God. A singular One God who is often referred to with the male pronoun. Not that there’s anything wrong with the male pronoun. I am a man-fan. But things are Yin. Place is Yin. The physical world is the feminine aspect of God (Robert Hand, Master Astrologer).
I ask the ageless question, "If only that One Guy is good, then how can we be good?
If God made us and we are not Him, then we are not Holy, nor is His creation. But if he is so holy, then why does he make shitty people places and things?
How do we humuns resolve this conundrum? We must choose.
Choice is a popular word today.
Did you know that you choose your beliefs? We choose what we believe.
Did you know that?
Do you know that you were not born a religion? You are not a catholic, a jew, an episcopalian or a muslim. You are a person who follows certain ideas that have meaning for your people. You have those beliefs to give you and your people moral grounds to stand on. Religion is morality training.
Religion is not genetic.
Just look at all the ex-catholics and modern jewish atheists. Those are growing cohorts, and I think I know why.
I was raised as an Atheist, but my mother gave me license to explore religion. Having lived with her unhappiness, I knew that I must choose a belief, or decay into spiritual sorrow forever.
I have chosen to adopt a Taoist perspective. Perspective is another word for religion. Re-ligio means to reconnect. Perspective is a specific view from a defined place. When we change perspective, we see things differently. Religion is a way to see life, gods’ plans, but it changes.
It is not set in Truth, unless it is free to move through the experiences of many rather than one. When I began my search, I believed in Psychology. I studied and professed it. After a time I believed in Anthropology. I studied that and practiced in my mind. That belief led to believing in Sociology, which I wore like comfy dress. One day, when I was in the middle of my life, I found Astrology, which was an easy belief after receiving a consultation that targeted my soul.
It spoke to my soul. My hungry searching soul.
That was the first time in my search that I felt connected to the Divine. I was part of a mystical experiment. I became holy. My search became true. My soul was on fire.
Astrology led me to Kabbalah. And then Enneagram. And then Tarot. And the The Tao.
The world is created by an eternal sex union between holy husband and sacred wife. They are devoted and never ending. Sex is a sacred gift between the two different ones.
A key is never a lock. A lock cannot be a key.
Taoism completes circles. It is a needle pulling threads together. Taoism is the weaver’s shuttle, drawing bright and dull yarns across a cosmic weft.
This is where we play. We learn the properties that define our cosmic parents the Yin lady and her Yang husband. The amoral creators, making a moral universe where we show them the way. We are as gods. We are holy teachers to our sacred parents. We are important.
We do matter.
"The child is teacher to the man."
My heart leaps up when I behold
A rainbow in the sky:
So was it when my life began;
So is it now I am a man;
So be it when I shall grow old,
Or let me die!
The Child is father of the Man;
And I could wish my days to be
Bound each to each by natural piety.
- "My Heart Leaps Up" William Wordsworth 1770-1850
Evil Soul Killers
When we allow immoral acts, we fail the Gods. When we allow evil to prevail, we fail them. When we allow confusion to cloud our judgment our Divine parents live in darkness.
Listen to your soul when she speaks in that quiet voice. When she pushes you gently into places you feared. She is taking you to them, the holy ghosts. The sacred pair.
Soul is the place where they exist within you. Do not take the souls of others. The Temples are everywhere. Our bodies, our homes, our land. Souls live in a place. Do not rob places. Do not harm the places where other souls have lived in eternity.
Home Is The Soul’s Temple
Some souls are designed to travel across Earth’s face and share new perspectives, but most souls are designed to remain in the place of the ancestors. There is much evil afoot these days. Certain zombies are scattering souls across Earth’s face, using bombs and tough guy leverage to starve the bodies, the temples of these souls into oblivion. We have the choice to watch or speak out. I have been compelled to speak.
In the Gospel of Thomas Jesus said:
All of the following statements describe the Trinity. The Two make another.
In other words, Trinity is Oneness. The Two Into One (this is textbook Taoism)
(22)
Yeshua saw some babies nursing. He said to his students,
These nursing babies
are like those who enter the kingdom.
They said to him,
Then shall we enter the kingdom as babies?
Yeshua said to them,
When you make the two into one,
and when you make the inner like the outer
and the outer like the inner
and the upper like the lower,
and when you make male and female into a single one,
so that the male will not be male nor the female be female,
when you make eyes in place of an eye,
a hand in place of a hand,
a foot in place of a foot,
an image in place of an image,
then you will enter the kingdom.
(30) (textbook Taoism)
Yeshua said,
Where there are three deities,
they are divine.
Where there are two or one,
I am with that one.
(106)(textbook Taoism)
Yeshua said,
When you make two into one,
you will become human children.
When you say, “Mountain, move,”
the mountain will move.
(89)(bring the divine feminine back into the holy equation)
Yeshua said,
Why do you wash the outside of the cup?
Don’t you understand that the one who made the inside
also made the outside?
(48)(sex union in a Hindu perspective)
Yeshua said,
If two make peace with each other in one house,
they will tell the mountain, “Move,”
and the mountain will move.
(42)(Tao)
Yeshua said,
Be passersby.
(43)(one male god religions discount feminine creation)
His students said to him,
Who are you to say these things to us?
Yeshua said,
From what I tell you, you do not know
who I am,
but you have become like the Jews.
They love the tree but hate its fruit
or love the fruit but hate the tree.
(18)(this is Pluto at work, birth and death go hand in hand)
The students said to Yeshua,
Tell us how our end will be.
Yeshua said,
Have you discovered the beginning and now are seeking the end?
Where the beginning is, the end will be.
Blessings on you who stand at the beginning.
You will know the end and not taste death.
(3) Yeshua said,
If your leaders tell you, “Look, the kingdom is in heaven,”
then the birds of heaven will precede you.
If they say to you, “It’s in the sea,”
then the fish will precede you.
But the kingdom is inside you and it is outside you.
When you know yourselves, then you will be known,
and you will understand that you are children of the living father.
But if you do not know yourselves,
then you dwell in poverty and you are poverty.
Everything is Spiritual. The small voice inside you is a living being. Listen to its longings. Respect your Daimon.
