I do receive a lot of inbox junk but also really cool questions like this one:
I was asked what I have against “worshiping”.
Simple answer is nothing.
I don’t mind the idea of worship but this group I’m in Magic Sigils, this community is about the change, about the idea of evolving and we can’t evolve if we align to the same rules, same principles and same unchanged, obsolete ideas.
How can worshiping be viewed through the perspective of a new paradigm and evolutive concepts?
First of all, let’s dumb it down because using a certain terminology makes people who read this feel dumb.
You are not, the same phrase can sound like this:
If you worship another entity but not your own is giving your power to that entity, enforcing that you are not capable to achieve what is to achieve without that entity’s help and assistance.
Is it good? Is it a bad thing?
My answer doesn’t matter but it does matter how you feel and how all this is helping you or not.
I need an external force, an entity, a magical energy to do my bidding?
Why? If I am able and so damn powerful to command a demon, or an angel for that matter I don’t have the power to manifest my desire? How low self-esteem is generated through this idea?
I worship a God or Goddess (or both or none) with what purpose?
Is this God or Goddess entity more powerful than I am?
Why do I need to worship? Why do they ask something in return for their assistance?
Hmmm, I will answer to these questions to myself, as a perspective to how I think and not as a general rule.
I believe worshiping gods, entities and energies were ok for a while because from what my Higher Self is telling me, it could have been very, but very hard to evolve.
If we had no religion (yes I know, some of you are less vocal yet condemn some religions) there was no structure on top of which we could have build an aspect of society defined as patriarchy, biblical patriarchy, also known as Christian patriarchy, is a set of beliefs in Evangelical Protestant Christianity concerning gender relations and their manifestations in institutions, including marriage, the family, and the home.
On top of that many other structures were built like other belief systems in all its entirety.
Can you imagine how world must have evolved if we haven’t had a rewarding and a punishing system? Chaos, from the ground up, a lot of chaos because we wouldn’t have the basic moral laws followed by legislative laws… all started from the religious lows which become, with each step more bureaucratic and more political in nature.
So yes, Gods and Goddesses were a wonderful gift developed in human collective.
But why these entities, gods and goddesses slowly stepped down? Why they kind of stop interfere with human environment, decision making and human existence overall?
Well, there are multiple reasons for why entities stepped down ALLOWING humanity to further evolve on a path of THEIR choosing.
One of these reasons is the collective development. We evolved to such a degree where we no longer require the “training wheels” and we are able to think, act, decide and give meaning to aspects of our life without the filters of these entities.
I named them filters, why? Because each entity, each god is more or less representative to a certain type of energy…
Say what? Yes, all these Gods and Goddesses are symbolic archetypes of some energies. Major archana from tarot cards are the same, a symbolic icon for an archetypal energy.
So, why do we feel the need of borrowing, investing our own power, our own energy, focus and belief into a symbol energy like a God or a Goddess?
It is our own collective projection so why we need that?
Because we know there’s magic, the potentiality, the energy which our collective is holding on and we tap into that, we need that external reassuring because we were not ready to understand that we created our Gods and Goddesses we worship, and we have all their power because they are using our power.
A few days ago I was connecting with Hecate when I post the sigil of Asteria and while I don’t worship any gods I do respect the symbol, the entity who accumulated knowledge and wisdom they are representative off so my approach is always with gratitude because they are bound and stuck with human collective consciousness even if most of them are already more evolved that we might imagine.
For example, the energy of Hecate will change in when collective consciousness is ready to let it go, I didn’t get the new name but it has something to do with Neisu which is another aspect of the same energy in another dimension…
Anyway, playing cards with gods is fun enough because fear is no longer what we need to feed. Our demons start to dissipate, to transform in lessons, in teachers and some of the so called demons are now able to shift into our own frequency more often because they too evolved and served their purpose.
Of course there will be individuals which rely on old systems for their life to have a meaning but they too start to change and evolved…
“All paths end up in the same unique event”
I’ve asked Hecate and said our experience is not measured in linear time but events, decisions which impact the Self and Others so each trauma is for our Self and event, an energy signature which adds up to our overall experience .
All paths means that all religions or all belief systems will generate a series of behaviors which will create the reality that will end up with the same unique event.
What would be that unique event?
Returning home, back into Source of All There Is because nothing else can exist outside of it.
“What is Christian God for you?” I’ve asked Hecate.
Yes I’m not afraid to ask… so I asked.
“What you call and define as Christian God is All There Is, the embodiment of love, all aspects of All There Is in One” . Her response.
“So what are you in relation to Christian God?” I asked.
“You didn’t get it? If All There Is is expressing itself in all forms and nothing can exist outside of All There Is, who can I be in relation to that?”
So in an instant I knew that all aspect of Gods, Divinity, Entities, Source, Goddess, All There Is is One…. All Is One.
Yes different aspects of the same One.
Just like we are when we are mad, we exhibit a certain behavior, when we happy, another type of behavior, when sad, another type of behavior so in a more distilled version for my low intellect, our own aspects are mirroring the One’s aspects.
What are we? A self-imposed limited fractalization of the One.
So I’ve asked why do we worship.
“Less and less will because the human consciousness will no longer need to learn and experience from that aspect and when humans let go, then the aspect, the energy can change, is allowed to change and transform in a more useful energy, call it another entity, another aspect if it is required or self goes back to its source for self empowering the individual, group of individuals or collective”
“Your universe is build for you”
Why we use the idea of God’s punishment or we get punished by the gods?
“Because the self-imposed limitations and fear based beliefs.
Without this basic fear humans will have never reached the stone age.
The build in fear system is the one which keeps you alive, the imposed system is the one you buy into.
Both serve a good purpose up until the human evolution no longer needs to experience those states. There is no need to overthink or complicate it. “
Why sacrifices were needed in certain cultures when worshiping gods?
No god or gods or other entity has ever and explicitly required and asked for sacrifices, human or animal sacrifices. No demons, no gods, no engels, no entity is asking nor ever asked for sacrifices.
Sacrifice is a human construct which was attached and pushed to certain extremes if you will because there was the need to define and explore the energy of “giving yourself” an energy of idolatrization which served the purpose to define the idea of a “true believer” and in some cultures was interpreted as “be one with the gods” …. althgrou the idea was about the ultimate sacrifice which was to give up the idea of knowing to understand the knowledge. Misunderstood concept and twisted but useful nevertheless. All experiences are regarded as experience, they don’t carry the weight of polarity like good and bad… all are experiences.
But there are a lot of cultures, rituals and energy systems which require some sort of sacrifice.
Yes there are and all which exists means it is required not by us “the devil made me do it” but by you.
Tell me a joke please.
