OK,
so it's true,
I'm trying to establish with you
that I have some goofy gift
of prophecy.
ME?
Me:
Makropoulis,
a 424 year old woman
who hasn't aged much
until recently,
when she turned
425.
~ ~
And since I'm aging slowly,
I can tell you
exactly what aging
is all about:
the aging strikes
certain places first,
because
those are the parts
of our Avatar,
our machine,
that we use the most:
1.
My eyes -- my eyes
your eyes
we use them a lot
to look both outwardly
and inwardly.
They receive signals, the data
then transmitted
to the brain,
the master terminal
of this fabulous machine
called the body;
they work
day in and day out.
Is it no surprise
that they begin to go first?
(Think of it this way,
and I've talked about this before:
your body
is nothing
but an avatar
an earthly machine
designed
to best contain the parts
of God
that it's our duty
to bear)
-##-
because
as Inayat Khan says,
and I say elsewhere,
Creation
is the manifestation
of totality
of the
All (that is God),
borne of its desire
to reproduce itself
However,
in general,
All
cannot
represent itself,
except
in its constituent parts
--
Get it?
God cannot represent himself
as One
because God
is All,
and to create
ALL²,
would be nigh impossible
because
no matter how many times
you duplicate
All,
it's never duplicated,
it's always just
ALL,
just more of it.
So,
in the duplication of Itself
God discovered
He had to divide
His parts
into parts,
which in and of itself
was a fairly artificial act
--
kind of like colonization,
and the way
the
created the nations
those national lines
are some of the most
unnatural lines
on the planet;
in fact,
they are
the most flagrantly proud
of man's acts,
as man
has continued to blindly
attempt
to imitate
God
imitating God,
who had to divide
the undividable
in order
to do see Himself:
with that Treaty,
we created
man-made lines,
that put together a few groups of people
who didn't really belong
together,
and called them
a nation,
Anywhooooo,
yeah,
likewise,
that's how some of the divisions
that God created
when he divided himself
had to be:
uncomfortable,
and unnatural,
but necessary,
and every
material object
that he created to reflect
the All
in its constituent parts
contains
a three-some
of those parts
as well.
He tried to combine these
three elements
in ways that were
negotiable,
in ways that would help
the material manifestation
of God
sustain itself;
it has just been
our job
to sustain ourselves and not
let one aspect
dominate
another.
2.
My spine - my spine
Your Spine,
Our Spine:
The spine is the terminal,
the radio tower
of the apparatus we occupy,
the apparatus
that communicates
by two means:
locally,
by language
and
long distance,
by signals,
frequencies:
the duty of our bodily apparatus
is to bear
the brain,
and
the heart
of God --
those parts of God
that are the most fragile,
and the most powerful
=
We are here to contain
God's
capacity to love.
+
we are here to contain
God's
capacity to know-better =
two abilities
that don't always work well
together,
and
they are also
two abilities
that just happen to be
eternal
//
yes,
which is why they had to be
put together:
our task is to contain
the elements
that defy the elemental:
but at the same time,
we are here
to contain
God's capacity
to love himself,
which is our survival apparatus,
and it is that capacity
that has maintained us
in the material realm,
because when we see ourselves
in another,
we want to love ourselves
in the most perfect
of physical ways.
Yeah,
that's how we've maintained
a somewhat unbroken
existence of the eternal elements
of the All
that is God:
through the self-serving,
self-loving act
of copulation.
Our task all along has been to figure out all these pieces of the puzzle, and get our acts together, and imitate God as perfectly as possible.
You see, that's the idea
of the soul mate:
he/she's the one,
the other part
of the part of God
that you are here
to find,
to imitate,
but
if you do not find that partner
in this life,
just
love the one you're with
with
everything you have.
It's very likely you'll never
meet your soulmate
in this life,
because
if you did,
chances are
you hate that person.
And do you know what's fabulous?
Often our soul - mates
aren't perfect,
and yet,
we can love them because
even with their earthly imperfections
we can still
recognize
some trace
of ourselves.
Yes,
the ones who are the hardest to love
are the ones
we are required
to love
in order to be able
to survive.
.
So the Creating Force
that is God,
that powerful
lust-ful
element
of SelfLove,
is the glue
to our physical
timebound cycle
is the glue
of the fragile parcel
(these time-bound bodies)
in which he packaged
the ability to love
with the ability to
know better
;
those two capacities,
combined
have the capability to save
each other.
the heart can save the mind
by curbing it,
and making it feel;
and
the mind can save the heart
by stopping it,
and requiring it to think --
and
Love,
Pure Love
is that impulse
we feel
when the heart and the mind are working
in harmony,
and
when we love and we KNOW it's right.
* # *
but anyway,
the spine
is another part of the apparatus
that wears out
relatively quickly,
not only because
it keeps us upright,
but because
it is our primary conductor,
it is
the conductor by which
we transmit our signals
from self to self,
from self to self,
from Self to Self,
to the greater Self.
3.
and my brain,
your brain,
the brain
is the decoder,
the master cylinder
that communicates
the message from
the larger central consciousness
to our own
individual
apparatus,
our vehicle.
(

if we lose the brain,
well,
we probably won't survive,
because
that cuts us off
from the primary signals
that make us a part
of the whole
~ ~
We all have the capacity to be conductors,
seers,
if we can free our
minds,
hearts,
and spines
of the burdens we bear
in our everyday lives.
But for now,
the world is so occupied
with itself,
and most humans
only imitate
the popular consciousness,
so we need
seers,
those
with the gift to read the signs
that everyone else
cannot see,
due to temporary
blindness.
And hey,
that's me.
Well, ya' know,
I actually started this entry
with one intent:
to tell you a prophecy
that I shared with my friends
about three weeks ago:
I heard that
Elton John and Leon Russell
did a collaboration,
produced by T. Bone Burnett.
And I said,
hell,
that's the Album of the Year,
if not
the century.
You see,
I see
that T. Bone Burnett
has a formula,
like a magical brew:
have two classic artists,
who admire each other terrifically,
who might even want to do nothing more
than make love to the other,
put them together,
and make an album.
And he makes things like this:
and now this:
My prophecy for today:
if you can buy stock
in
this album,
or
T. Bone Burnett,
do it.
