LETS TALK ABOUT IDOLATRY…

Let’s talk about the issue of IDOLATRY.

idolatry 2

It is an issue that at least conventionally speaking, I am surprised is even an issue at all. However, there are apparently quite a few people in the world who don’t understand the current energetic distortion of idolatry.

People often consider symbols to be powerful images. This is a TRUTH for many people in our physical plane of existence. People use these material object symbols as visual stimuli to remind them of their personal spiritual aspirations. There is nothing evil or sinister about using these physical reminders.

What really worries me (and the Holy Ghost…) is the surprising number of spiritual people who don’t understand this TRUTH. Many people are under the false impression that there are other people throughout the world who are worshiping these visual reminders as their actual higher power.

There are many belief systems which perpetuate the belief that physical objects can act as a vessel or conduit for spiritual energy or power that emanates from their actual God or Higher Power. This includes many Eastern Religions such has the Bon and Buddhist religions. Additionally there are faiths, such as the Judaic based religions which believe in the power of objects which they conclude literally contain God, such as the Arc of the Covenant.

A lack of  empathetic tolerance for another persons belief system can only be caused by a lack of realization that there are obvious parallels in spiritual and physical mechanism between those belief systems. This lack of empathetic quotient  by a person is directly parallel to a person’s own bias and their inability to FEEL the TRUTH. This is further evidence of their own spiritual shortcomings. It is an unfortunate symptom of ego which would allow for a “spiritual person”  to think that they are superior to someone who uses physical reminders to denote their spiritual beliefs.

Now I don’t know about you, but I FEEL that there is not a single person on the planet who is dull enough to look at a symbol or physical item and actually believe that it is God or any Higher Spiritual TRUTH. I know that this is not what is going on because I can FEEL that people are not that stupid, and therefore I know that it is not the TRUTH.

An “idol” can be defined as “an image or other material object representing a deity or spiritual TRUTH to which worship is addressed”. It is nothing more than a visual reminder of a person’s faith, a means by which people can help themselves remember that there is a spiritual Higher TRUTH to which they aspire. It also serves as a means to help people stay in a spiritual frame of mind as often possible.

It is the natural tendency for the human mind to interpret sensory input (what is perceived visually, audibly or tacitly) as something familiar or more easily understood and therefore accepted.

An example of a different type of sensory input that serves to recall a person’s thoughts to the spirit, are Tibetan “Reminder Bells”. These audible (as opposed to visual) reminders are rung periodically throughout the day to remind the Buddhist Monks to return to the “moment of now” and recall the spiritual HIGHER TRUTHS.

Just as these audible reminder bells carry real physical vibrations that are an integral part of these spiritual TRUTHS, so do physical “idols”which are their visual counterparts.

idolatryThe real and extant danger that idolatry currently presents is not the perceived worship of inanimate objects by others, but rather the grotesque ongoing obsession for material wealth and the abject adoration of infamous personalities in popular media, which include the music and film industries.

We are spiritual souls who still reside in a physical dimension and in physical bodies. Accordingly, individuals often still need physical reminders of things. We use shopping lists, alarm clocks, photographs and all sorts of other tactical input in order to stay “on track” throughout the course of our daily lives. What may have once been misunderstood as idolatry may now be more accurately considered to be a physical representation of spiritual pursuits.

To Die Is To Awaken by V.F. Ayala

To die is to awaken

so let me sleep so I can keep my dreams alive

that one day, I can overcome my nightmares

and survive into a world of happiness

no longer having to strive

Let it be known

God is my fortress, faith is my guide

that I may overcome my nightmares

with no fear, in full stride

To dream is limitless

to fulfill your dreams is priceless

there is no capacity for what you can be

dare to believe in your dreams

and you will see

The answer to your prayers

and the fulfillment of your desires

Death is but to awaken

Heaven we acquired!

WELCOME FELLOW TRUTH SEEKERS…

I am THE ARDENT INTROSPECTIVE and I am sincerely glad that your TRUTH has led you to THE RECONDITE QUETZAL.

While growing up I was blessed with parents who were spiritual but had no interest in structured religion. The lack of predetermined spiritual parameters, in combination with an incessantly curious nature, was a ‘”perfect storm” which allowed me to undertake a personal journey in the pursuit of TRUTH, which I have done in earnest for the better part of my adult life.

When explaining the journey thus far, the analogy of a sailboat seems most accurate. I am the vessel itself, while the sail is my spiritual nature, and my desire for Spiritual TRUTH. My HIGHER POWER is the WIND (Holy Spirit) directing me toward that HIGHEST TRUTH.

Along the way, I have had more than my fair-share of unusual experiences, all of which have significantly changed my perception of reality. I have often felt as if I have been “several times removed” from my original-self…

I believe that my experiences have been in part, a preparation for finding various TRUTHS and divulging these TRUTHS to people who have the “ears to hear.” I have long felt a compulsion to “learn in service of others”. Simultaneously I feel as if I hurdle headlong, toward some fantastic and unknown personal TRUTH.

The old adage “KNOWLEDGE IS POWER” is true on many levels. For example, from time immemorial, sacred knowledge has been kept from all except the “Adept or Initiate”. Any person who was not indoctrinated by an “Occult Faculty” (various orders of privileged knowledge holders) was considered “profane”. The wannabe “forces-that-be “undoubtedly prefer that it remains that way. Those who currently fill places of external (false) power will only stay in those places by keeping things the same, after all…

Thank goodness that the rest of us are collectively beginning to remember the HIGHER TRUTH that all REAL POWER is INTERNAL. I believe that the most powerful thing about knowledge is that it allows us to gain an accurate perspective of our own place within the UNIVERSAL PROCESS. This TRUTH is the one that can really set us FREE.

I invite you to take a detour from the path of the premise of the status quo and the misinterpretations that they perpetuate. Are you intrepid enough to decide the TRUTH for yourself? I guarantee you that no OMNIPOTENT HIGHER POWER has to scare people into believing TRUTH.

Can you FEEL the TRUTH when you hear it? Here in our polarized dimension the TRUTH is located within a prerequisite BALANCE.

There is an ANOINTED CONSCIOUSNESS inside each and every one of us, like a seed which contains the entire tree it is destined to become. The TRUTH is INHERENT within us all and the RECONDITE QUETZAL serves as a forum for reminding us of this single most important TRUTH! Enjoy the Journey!

Namaste!
