ROME VS. THE GRAIL: WHAT IS "THINKING"?
|
|
=======================================
|
|
|
|
In the ninth century, Pope Nicholas I declared that "man was no
|
|
longer to be considered as a trichotomy of Spirit, Soul and
|
|
Body." [1] The Papal See denied "the very existence of the
|
|
Individual Human Spirit, declaring man to be but body and soul
|
|
and relegating the personal spirit to the lowly estate of a mere
|
|
'intellectual quality' within the soul itself. In this way the
|
|
spiritual initiative of Western Man was confined to the prison of
|
|
three-dimensional awareness of the sense world, and the Dogmas of
|
|
the Roman Church became the only recognized source of
|
|
revelation." [2] Before, the individual had been deemed capable
|
|
of finding answers from "within." Pope Nicholases ruling
|
|
re-defined the situation: the Roman Church stood as intermediary
|
|
between God and man; it told man what God said; the Church became
|
|
the middleman between man and God. (Today's middleman is the
|
|
"expert," who is supposedly more qualified to think. The
|
|
"expert" is intermediary between Truth and the individual -- =but
|
|
the individual allows this to happen=.)
|
|
|
|
It can be seen how the new definition of God's relationship to
|
|
man just so happened to put the Roman Church in an extremely
|
|
powerful position. ("God says do this. God says do that.")
|
|
Opposing Nicholases dethronement of the individual human spirit
|
|
was "Grail Christianity." The word "Grail" comes from
|
|
"graduale," meaning "gradually" or "step by step." The "search
|
|
for the Grail" denoted an initiation process which gradually
|
|
developed the inner life. The process involved "the awakening of
|
|
a dullard from an unthinking stupor." [3]
|
|
|
|
Pope Nicholases ninth-century declaration "brought about man's
|
|
scepticism regarding the spiritual validity of thinking... From
|
|
thence forward, because Spirit had been relegated to a mere
|
|
shadowy intellectual quality in the soul, thinking was no longer
|
|
trusted as a means to truth." [4]
|
|
|
|
It has probably happened to you that first, you thought about
|
|
some problem, then later, "out of nowhere," the answer to the
|
|
problem suddenly "came to you." You have been led to presume
|
|
that such answers originate in a mysterious area of your material
|
|
brain called "The Unconscious." This "Unconscious," presumably
|
|
nothing more than a "mode of matter in motion," nonetheless
|
|
delivers startlingly original ideas. "Where do you come up with
|
|
these ideas?" I am sometimes asked. (Maybe you also have been
|
|
asked such a question.) My answer is that the ideas come from
|
|
"someplace else." By "someplace else" is not meant "modes of
|
|
matter in motion" located in the Unconscious MysteryLand. My
|
|
"MysteryLand" exists in either a different plane or different
|
|
dimension.
|
|
|
|
Thinking is a telepathic transmission to "someplace else." When
|
|
you suddenly "get an idea," that is a telepathic reception from
|
|
"someplace else." Beware however that not all telepathic
|
|
receptions are necessarily to be trusted. An idea that "pops
|
|
into your head" may or may not turn out to be true. If you
|
|
consult with other "thinkers" (transmitters) -- either through
|
|
conversation or the written word -- and they also corroborate
|
|
your "thoughts" (receptions), then you are on more solid ground.
