    Agreed, Fred. My quibble to. In short, we need to reclaim the Earth to build a human world. A lot of "metaphysics"/religion start people off with an inverted and/or occulted narrative leading people to think the Earth is a prison. No, the Earth has been psychologically, and then materially, walled off from human consciousness. We need to break out of the "prison" world and reclaim the Earth, our sovereigny and most importantly, our magical connection to the Earth. Prohibition of magic by religions, reserved only for the clergy, was the main way we were focused into an exclusively material world. Faith and hope replacing magic and gnosis.

    When truly free, people like Cheney and Soros could be "visited" by a baseball team of all designates batters. Only the criminal justice system, run by criminals as the name indicates, keeps them safe.

    With or without magic, or religion, or politics... we all are faced with the same issue. We might even realize what the issue is, we may find doing something about it is always simple, but some of us may simply choose not to.

    Instead we may choose to feed that something elemental within that craves the opportunity to taste flesh, blood and wine. We move on when we are satisfied... Escaping... is an interesting word considering we live our own manifest; we all are taking an opportunity. We truly are all volunteers.

    That "The rational" is not more powerful, or better than "The irrational", that "being alive" is not better or more desirable than "being dead"... Simply being... that is all that matters. Being free is about having that ability to choose; I contend we all do choose. Even The Beast chooses... However we have far fewer actual choices then we think. The issue of Free will comes to mind.

    I honor anyone seeking the Bodhisattva Path (enlightenment through reincarnation). Every entity has the free will to choose the path that resonates most with their Higher Self.

    I speak with no disrespect to those who have chosen the comfort of the Wheel of Reincarnation.

    At some point on the pilgrimage, one will become weary of the endless ass-biting-loops of birth-death-rebirth.

    Such are the Souls to whom I speak….

    Enjoying hearing the opinions of everyone in this thread.

    To me I don't know. I do actually look forward to full Spirit Being; if only to know for the time span of Spirit Being .....then the energy has to go somewhere, do something as it does not or cannot stay stagnant IMO with out becoming something else...

    maybe even a spiral funnel...hey I could choose to be a worm hole for all one knows ...

    But after that, you have to DO.

    If you don't act on the work you've done, if you don't become exemplary; what was the work for?

    Lol, hi TargetT, pet word peeves for me are would, could, should, have to, must, gotta, used in the context that someone other than yourself should follow your perception, choices, way etc and yes, not in all cases but i point this out because on the sufi nine point enneagram, once one gets to point eight in any nine point process wether growing a tomato or making a vid, moving to step nine and completion, is a choice, was a great learning for me, saved lots of time. One may do the fool, the perfect, start again, one may do anything to be, once they be, imo.

    Thank you Exit.
    I will clarify the Bodhisattva Path a bit, if you don't mind

    - The path of the Bodhisattva is the path of Love, of laying down one's life for one's friends.

    - It's the path of the ones who willingly bear the burden of a wayward humanity.

    - It's the path of the unascended masters of the Himalayas, ageless saints who hold the balance by radiating light into this world.

    - It's also the path of ascended masters who choose to remain with earth to teach and help its evolution, rather than continue on to higher realms of cosmic service.

    - And it's the path of those of us on earth who desire to follow in their footsteps.

    That mystery symbol found around the world denoting the original symbol imo is the dot in the circle, to leave circle is to increase to go within dot from whence you came is return.

    Heyzoka, you forgot to add O after Exits name, which had me sense into that symbol.

    LOL

    The circle after Exit's name is not an O but a zero - 0. Meaning..... NO EXIT!?? Do you see why I left out the 0?

    But tell me why you skip my last balancing h and add a balancing z.....

    Exit 0 (zero) could have dual meanings, heyokah.

    It could mean, as you say, "no exit". After eons of time, endlessly recycling on the Wheel of Reincarnation, this concept increasingly becomes a possibility.

    ....or, it could mean the exit at the beginning of the pilgrimage, i.e. the point where you entered the journey.... or, the way back-out.

    See this LINK, for clarity of understanding.

    The Fool 0 - is unnumbered; sometimes represented as 0 (the first) or XXII (the last) Major Arcana in decks.



    In fact, the word Fool is a corruption of Soel, Sol or Soleil, meaning the sun.
    The Jester, Trickster or Harlequin (or heyokah), with his coat of many colors, is a simulacra of the sun in its annual traversal of the zodiac.
    The card’s esoteric sign is zero which connotes the sun as well.

    Will the sun be our "star-gate to heaven?"..... or the wormhole to Walhalla

    The dot within the circle is a symbol of 0 and 1. Where 0 is stillness and the dot is pure volition, as it was explained to me. The volition can be any application of will, including "to leave the circle".

    More to the point:

    Some of us only react to environmental stimulus; that would mean some of us would be in perfect stillness absent some "creative force" that manifests as an environmental stimulus. A few of us are the genesis of original action that then works to stimulate reactions in the rest of the world. That "creative force" is what I liken to volition; the meaning of that point within the circle.

    ADDENDUM

    That would make Exit 0 be synonymous with Exit Stillness...
