From The Book "Infinite Perspectus"
The
meanings of various parables within the Old and New Testaments, as they are
portrayed, have not been sufficient in themselves; they have been
incorrectly interpreted by the masses of humanity who picked up these varied
symbolic forms, and contrived within the dimension of their own minds, to
distort them into configurations which conformed to their own limited
horizon of thinking. The interpretation is thus never carried into
the infinite dimension in which the original parabolistic form was so
contrived and so conceived. This is, in essence, the same tenure which has
been followed in the construction of any religious edifice and particularly
in Christianity. For here again the liturgy of this religion, as it is
supported by the various priesthoods and other exponents, who are, in
themselves, elements of expression of Christianity, has thus contrived
to build this into a rote system, tremendously dogmatic and extremely
rhetorical to the extent, that survival is continually mandated by
these expressionists. Their influence often reaches into the innermost
secret recesses of personal life expressions, and in some churches, even
dominates the sexual associations of various families.
The net results of such subjugating
influences, which are felt through these religious systems, are immediately
apparent to any person who is even basically trained in certain
psychological elements. As a person is robbed of the power to
think, or he is robbed of the power to act,
irrespective of whether this action is evil or good, then the person can be
considered to be well on his way to complete atrophy. If you
held your arm in an absolutely immobile position for an indefinite period of
time, the joints in the arm would fuse together, the muscles would become
very flaccid, and they would not have any power within themselves to
manipulate the various cord structures or bone segments of the arm; in other
words, your arm would become a dangling appendage on your anatomy.
The same is true of your mind;
and in any respect in whatever dimension of function in the process of
oscillating infinitely through the psychic anatomy, where this process
becomes even partially suspended, then we have the possibility of the
beginning of a cancerous atrophy, which will, if given opportunity, spread
throughout the entire structure of the psychic anatomy. The person then
becomes more or less of an inert blob of energy substance which floats in
the plasma of the universal expression, or we can say, he has reverted back
to the place wherein a certain metamorphosis will take place, and this
universal supply and substance will again regenerate this degenerated form
and substance into something constructive in a normal and well balanced
scale of progressive evolution.
This is the cycle of the accession and
recession which is always immediately apparent in any position in any
person's life. It cannot for one moment be conceived—in fact the thought is
intolerable—that we could reach any fancied position in our spiritual
evolution into the higher worlds where we could retire, so to speak, and
lying back on a pink cloud playing a harp, float in utter complete happiness
and oblivion through eternity. Such a completely passive state of existence
would nullify, not only the objectivism of evolution itself, in the
development of an entity of consciousness (which could be conceived as
infinite in its expression), but so having arrived at the point where such
an expression in an infinite capacity was about to be realized then this
person would irrationally retire on the presumption, that now he had
completed his work, and he would naturally be expected to atrophy
completely. Having thus started the downward trail of evolution he would, as
an entity of consciousness, reach that more ultimate point in the downward
progression where the facsimile of individual expression was completely
absent; and he would revert back to the common point of supply and the
regenerative point of substance in the scale of infinite evolution. If my observation serves me right, it is rather a barren
world in which you are living at the present moment. The present generations
have not produced the musicians or artists or plilosophers or literary
geniuses of that Reformation period. Now I know this statement may be
challenged by some who are somewhat loyal to some of the exponents of
today’s arts and sciences; but you need only to consult the pages of history
or to listen to the great orchestras or to visit the museums to prove the
fallaciousness of such ideas.
