103. The third eye: Chapter 2 - Comfort

 

Religions, sciences, worldviews, and ideologies — and less so philosophy — all serves our comfort. Why? Because each of them seeks to remove the burden of testing from us, the space and time cross and its universal centre that we take on at birth, without which, one cannot live, but does not need to live either. The process of participatory life is the opportunity we are given to show and bear our universality, the image and identity of the One and Only. Neither religions, nor sciences, nor worldviews are interested in how much we can embody the image and identity of the One. If they should support this endeavour, none of them would have execute power religion over us. 

Our Initiation Master renewed our identification with ourselves, with our universality, so that, living freely, we would dare to take on the intersection of space and time, the cross of universality, be the image and identity of the One and Only, and fulfil the only task entrusted to us: returning to the One. Our Initiation Master renewed our ancient, archaic Christian (universal) task: to connect our initial and final spiritual state, the starting and arriving points, and close the circle between the lower and the higher (the circularity) world. Let us ask ourselves: Do we know this one task to be completed, the continuous process of consciousness, perfection, the search for the One, the return? If so, are we walking this path? Moreover, do we have the intellectual knowledge with which we can connect the starting point with the final arriving point? Attila József phrased this as, "measure yourself against the whole." 

Religions, and particularly sciences and worldviews, constantly strive to ensure that we do not become aware of this one task, the returning. None of them recognized and still do not recognize, this one path, or if they do, they deliberately hide it from us. Instead, they develop complicated dogmas, rules, systems, and laws, material and non-material religions, filled with incomprehensible explanations, forcing us to use artificial, power-driven "constructions." Dogma is nothing more than an interpretation based on one's own perspective, just as parliamentary decisions are made by majority vote. A dogmatic person lives and works according to human-made imperfect laws, rules, and dogmas. The laws, rules, dogmas, and morals in every era have addressed the misled masses. Those few with universal consciousness do not need any of these. The ruling religious powers of the time have established entire systems, power apparatuses, and bureaucracies to operate their dogmas, where the innate desire for return encoded in the human being, the program of the One, was erased, and the individual was processed just as any ordinary case, where the paper is moved from one side of the desk to the other, without offering a solution to the submitted request. The condition for the bureaucracy is equality. 

In the non-material religious bureaucracy, the criterion for equality is the original or inherited sin (in current terms, the manifestation of the individual self), where the creators (or modellers) of artificial, transcendence-less dogmas did not understand either the duality of the world or the duality of the soul capable of reflecting it. Our soul is the reflection, the mirror of the entire world (the conjunction of the higher and lower). Our individual self is connected to the sensual, material (lower) world, to what we perceive with our five senses — for example, what we can touch with our hands and perceive with our eyes and ears. Our universal self, on the other hand, connects to the small god within us, by which we can understand the unseen and untouchable spiritual (higher) world. To understand the outer world, we need rational thinking; to understand the inner world, we need intellect, the inward-looking third eye. When these two forms of knowledge were merged — meaning when reason was equated with intellect, or when terms like Humanism, the Reformation, and the Enlightenment were used as synonyms during the dark age — it led to an even greater separation of humanity from the One, the disappearance of our universality, and our suppression to material power. Why are we surprised at the darkness of our times if this intentional power-driven darkness is continuous? If today we were to ask someone when humanity was more enlightened, the correct answer would have to be, “certainly not today." Compared to religions, science, as the servants of the ruling powers, affects the man to an even greater extent. In the non-material religion, there is still a kind of distinction between spiritual and material, but in science, only the material remains. Here, equality is reduced to the equality of human bodies, as science has already eliminated the human aspect capable of perceiving the unity of the higher and lower. The degradation of man, the "operation" of dogmas, rules, and laws, is the comfort where there is no longer a need to understand the unity of the higher and lower, nor the duality within it, but simplicity, low-level knowledge is required. For example, analysis, and above all, the discovery of material, the white man technology, and the eradication of spiritual knowledge. 

The "eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth" old scripture rational thinking has taken center stage, the analysis has preceded synthesis. The centrifugal force, which pulls us further from the One, has become more important than the centripetal force, which draws us closer; just as differentiation has been prioritized over integration. This is the comfortable modern era, when the blind leads the worldless, meaning the misled materialistic masses lead. The voluntarily blindfolded individuals are covering their ears and renounce the knowledge of the created world and spirit. This misdirection is ease, comfort. The comfortable, individualistic person who does not fulfil the task of returning, allows themselves to be led by the nose by material or non-material religions, sciences, worldviews, imperfect dogmas and laws, or the manipulation, opinion industry of the hidden powers. Anyone who believes that all of this serves the happiness of human life is blind, foolish, and narrow-minded. They do not know, or are not aware, that the One created them free (with free will), and the real sin is, if they do not live with that freedom, if they serve the exploiting power, if they do not live a full life. Such is the blind, the unbelieving, the materialistic, and the comfortable modern slave. 

Closely related to comfort is the lack of grace, that is, selfish and loveless behaviour, because in comfort, our individual (selfish) self dominates over our universal self. Only those who have the universal self-governing the individual can practice grace those who do not sink into comfort. When non-material religions declare that everyone is sinful, meaning everyone has an individual self, they are right. They should also say that sin is a concept we created (in contrast, our universal self is not a concept, but the reality of our creation), a name that can be overcome by striving for perfection, by the divine transformation, theosis, or in religious language glorification. This requires renouncing to comfort.
