I’m not proposing something other than the existing multiple models of our being, whether it’s multiple bodies, or layers, or veils, or a soul, or whatever. What I am suggesting is that we question the reason that these are needed. Why are we fragmented, separated, disconnected from ourselves? Why do we have to work so hard to know what another part of our own being is experiencing?
Maybe why isn’t the right question.
There was a time when every single person could hear their gods talking to them in their heads. Then that stopped working, and many wrote that their god had forsaken them. They were heartbroken and forlorn, not knowing what they had done to deserve it. But it was everyone, at the same time. To me, that’s a clue, when taken in context with one particular god who wanted all of our attention to himself.
Of course, there’s no evidence that he was behind it, because maybe it was a natural occurrence based on a natural phenomenon. For something that could make us, though, it seems like a trivial matter to flip that switch to OFF.
Also consider that Baal, and probably many others, can separate us from our own memories. Some might even separate us from parts of our personalities, like the drug addict who is not just cured of the physical addiction, but the psychological need that originally reached for the crutch.
So if we take that example as a principle, that we were more whole and we were made less whole by the action of an entity, and ask again with new context: why are we so separated and isolated from our own selves? Maybe another possibility comes into view: magick. A kind of curse, maybe? The action of a god?
And more importantly, if we can discern the nature of the fragmentation and isolation, can we use magick to remove it? Can we unify the various bodies, dissolve the veils, rejoin the layers, and make ourselves WHOLE again?
If we rejoin the physical body with the rest of our being, all the way up through the divine core, would that not only ascend the soul, but the body as well? As in: immortality in this life? Could that be what walked out of the tomb on the third day, an ascended physical body that could be felt by others, but that lived despite mortal wounds?
Though I have not experienced anything other than the separation of my various bodies with nearly impenetrable veils, it just seems off to me. Wrong. Artificial. Like a curse, imposed upon us like a straight jacket and shackles, for control. I want to take off the control mechanisms, and restore my being to wholeness.
I hope this inspires someone with abilities far exceeding my own, who can test it.
Thanks for reading.
