I'm learning a lot from this book, it's a little overwhelming... But it's refreshing to be introduced to less popular spiritual paths- like that of the Kachina people.
I haven't gotten the full in-depth download yet concerning the king of the world but what is fascinating is how he is the same being in all these different cultures.
Right now I am learning the people of ancient Lemuria were forced to migrate likely due to a flood caused by melting glaciers. They inhabited India as well as North America.
I am also learning about Jesus. A surprising excerpt:
"In GENSIS: The First Book of Revelations, surveyor David Wood reveals his work in discovering a united pentagram and hexagram in the landscape of the Landueduc near Renne le Chateu. It is interesting to note that the ancient history of the Landueduc exactly mirrors that of Sedona by virtue of also featuring the Goddess and Her Son. The Goddess of the Landuedoc has been associated with both Isis and Mary Magdalene, the Beloved Disciple who is said to have been joined there by Jesus, the 'Son,' some years after his crucifixion and then rasied a family with him. Among some Gnostic sects that colonized the Landueduc Mary Magdalene was venerated as an incarnation of the Universal Godddess Sophia, and Jesus was an incarnation of Her son, whom she had anciently sent into the Garden of Eden as the Serpent of Wisdom to enlighten humanity. Both Mary Magdalene and Isis have been associated with the Black Madonnas of southern France, which are representations of the Universal Goddess holding her Son."
He goes on to connect Sedona and the Kumaras from Mu...
But I am really excited to read of the connection to the Peacock Angel. Considering he is the King of the World, it makes sense why all these ancient cultures go back to Him. Also interesting to note the feathers of the peacock- its many eyes share a similar shape with galaxies. People also find similarities between "eyes" and "galaxies"
Having a discussion earlier today with my good friend about belief systems. We were born in a particular time, within a particular society, raised by a set of beliefs. Even in our attempt to break away from societal norms and walk our own paths, we find ourselves gravitating to other dominant or authoritative religious and spiritual belief systems. An example... Hinduism is actually a very popular path for many people. But it would appear to belong to a minority in a Christian dominated society.
But looking at what we think we know, one can't help but wonder if we even have our history right???
I'm drifting... The point I made was, people are quick to vilify that which they don't understand. Many devoted Christians look at any other sincere path as false or even a creation of the Devil. Yet these people are not bad people- and surely you will find the same vilification in India against people that challenge *their belief system* as well.
While I am reading this book, I am also studying another book with a friend from the 1111 forum called The Urantia Book. I can tell my friend is hesitant when I speak of the Peacock Angel as King of the World- but he is not condemning me, and he is not denying me.
But I am also noticing that we, as seekers, tend to fit things into our limited views and belief systems. So, if we're missing data or true history, we just go with what we feel is right and try to mold the puzzle piece ourselves.
I don't think there's anything wrong with this, it's kind of something we do unintentionally in our every day interactions with others. If we want to be included in a new discovery, we take what little information is present and try to make it fit in our world and spiritual views without jeopardizing what we hold dear as absolute truth.
The biggest offenders are those who preach to others- or I should say, they're the ones most easily offended when someone challenges their perspective. I should know, I've been there.
But I try to fall back on this example... While watching an episode from, "Fearless and far" I learned that in some remote part of the world it is customary to spit your coffee on honored house guest. It's a nice way of welcoming into your home. And it's expected you spit it back on the host.
Can you imagine suddenly being thrusted into the busy city of Chicago? And in your joy you walk up to someone and spit your coffee all over them. How do you think the other person is going to take it???
The takeaway my friend and I gathered is... It's always good to pause, and try to understand someone's intent. Intent is universal, the actions that stem from intent however- can be contrary to custom.
A side note, if you want to see a cool youtube channel this is Fearless & Far:
"Lost tribes, and wild adventures. I'm a professional adventurer on a quest to help you conquer your fears so that you can travel the world too."
