The strands, also the language of God

If someone asks or reflects – especially in the current context – about those who have committed, and/or have had others commit, truly terrible acts (also via the mind/mental imagery), and who are also, in a significant way, responsible for shaping what has happened and continues to happen in this world – including through their particular form of non-belief, whatever the reasons or underlying motives for that may be.

Within these circles – persisting, perhaps, right up until the final phase – there will always be those who seek to reduce me to nothing more than an ordinary human being (even going so far as to strip me of my divine administrative privileges and/or attempt to lock me out). They do this for strategic, tactical reasons and/or perhaps out of fear; in doing so, they indirectly attempt to trivialize their own grave transgressions – their catastrophic, mortal sins. They try to lower the threshold (the numerus clausus) so that certain sinners might avoid being cast into the other part of the cosmos – because perhaps the order was also changed.

Some have even asked – and it seems these questions are so deeply rooted within them that they inevitably spill forth:

• Is God not malevolent, or does God find it necessary to punish my child/loved ones – or let them die – in order to steer me away from the path I have chosen for myself (“it’s my life”)?
  • “It’s my life” also entails bearing the consequences of one’s actions.
• …

It is true – all this and much more will come to pass. This is not because God has some sort of superiority complex that requires Him to use His omnipotence to rebuke someone weaker; rather, it is a necessary measure to minimize – or altogether prevent – further harm that an individual might inflict upon themselves or those around them.

This is also one of the languages of God. Sometimes, when you speak to someone gently, the message fails to penetrate their consciousness because they have erected a wall – what we call ignorance – or because they are, in a sense, castrated in their capacity to perceive, much like a psychopath. Furthermore, do not forget the full scope of what the Divine is aware of, including the dimension of time.

Whether this should truly be interpreted in such a reductive manner – as might perhaps be the case with humans, or as it is interpreted due to ignorance: Is it that he is being malicious and acting out of anger, or is this merely one of the ways in which something manifests – an expression at the final level, channelled or directed through a human being, while parallel truths exist simultaneously? You know that human beings cannot truly process parallel phenomena (parallel processes); instead, they serialize everything – much like what happens in computer science.

In computer science, there is also the issue of working with copies rather than references – do you understand the distinction? Are you aware of the complexities and the significant effort involved in merging (as in SVN, Git, etc.)? In the Divine realm, every single copy must be accounted for and calculated independently; these are not mere copies to be played with! Ultimately, each one will be attributed back to its source – including the original from which the copies were derived – regardless of where those copies may currently exist.

Over the last 12 years, I have unravelled many things, and I have come to see that what is malevolent arises from everything that exists in between – not from the absolute itself. It is a matter of the observer’s perspective – much like the idea expressed in the quote by Hermann Hesse, or in my first and second articles. Think of it this way: a gentle summer breeze might carry the pleasant scents of the landscape, but if a skunk suddenly steps into its path, the entire fragrance shifts. In a similar fashion, when people – or other entities – enter a space, everything naturally changes.

This is also one of the potential secondary or incidental reasons why camphor or incense sticks are used in Hindu temples: people from diverse walks of life and different working conditions gather there, and the fragrance can mask unpleasant odours. I do not mean to call into question the religious or symbolic significance – or other aspects of which I may be unaware – but I am suggesting that the incense may also have served a practical purpose.

It is not that God has any need for such things; rather, it is that you have a need for them, or that provisions are made to address that need.
