IN the sense that they do not consciously overcome the fear of death (which is of the flesh), but put at crossroads they choose according to their affinity. overcoming death, or dying the death is about overcoming the fear of death and choosing to stick with the light of the soul, in a conscious decision. this is the meaning of the resurrection, when flesh finally accepts its death, and it is reborn by the grace of the light of the soul |

DPS User ID: 34953464 Israel 02/25/2013 10:23 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | my 3 attitudes toward death would have to be - scary as shit, scary and spooky. just like when a baby comes into this world, he comes crying, the baby would have much prefered to stay in the warm womb and snug for eternity. but then the baby stops crying, he grows acustom to this world, but oh my, the day of his death has come rather quickly, he has been fearing this day all his life, he even refused to acknowledge it. and then... the eyes widen, a sudden feel for immense fear rushes in, a feeling of coldness follows... as if he had awaken from a bad dream the man opens his eyes to a realm filled with light, warmth joy and a choire of angels. but, this is didnt last for ever, oh no, one day a bunch of powerfull angels grabbed the man and pulled him strongly. he was surprised, he asked the angels, what are they doing to him where are they taking him, the replied with a strict tone, we are taking you to the reincarnation chamber where you will be returned into the world of the living. WHAT?? WHY?!?! i dont want to get back there, i want to stay here with you and the light. the angels didnt answer. no matter how much he begged how much tears he shed, nothing in his power was enough to stop the angels. they did something to him, he cant really remember, he doesnt even care, for he is now in a different warm womb where he snugs happily, and awaits to start this journey all over again! |

Quoting: DPS just like when a baby comes into this world, he comes crying, the baby would have much prefered to stay in the warm womb and snug for eternity. but then the baby stops crying, he grows acustom to this world, but oh my, the day of his death has come rather quickly, he has been fearing this day all his life, he even refused to acknowledge it. and then... the eyes widen, a sudden feel for immense fear rushes in, a feeling of coldness follows... as if he had awaken from a bad dream the man opens his eyes to a realm filled with light, warmth joy and a choire of angels. but, this is didnt last for ever, oh no, one day a bunch of powerfull angels grabbed the man and pulled him strongly. he was surprised, he asked the angels, what are they doing to him where are they taking him, the replied with a strict tone, we are taking you to the reincarnation chamber where you will be returned into the world of the living.

Realise too that I can but only hold out for you a vision of that which is beyond words. The Unspeakable can never be verbalised: we can only verbalise our vision of the Unspeakable. This is the Law. All of us come to the Warrior's Path in ignorance. All of us must learn that we do not know what true learning is until we walk the Warrior's Path. This is so because this path is in truth a journey into the unknown, but there is no way to know the unknown beforehand. This is the Law. Warriors are pioneers, and although the pioneers may come back to tell you of what they have discovered, such information will be mere theory to the listener, not knowledge gained from own experience. Furthermore, how will the pioneers tell you of those things they have discovered within the unknown when you can only grasp that which is the known? Therefore, if you truly wish to know what is entailed in treading the Warrior's Path, then you must tread this path yourself: only then will your perception coincide with the vision. This is the Law. But know this much, and listen with care, for I now Speak of things past, present and future: I speak of man atavistic, of hu-man, and of man conscious. Warriors are first and foremost men, humble men, who cannot avoid the confines of the Law. Their task in life is to learn by means of mapping the great unknown. To map the unknown requires having to enter that mysterious vastness, but each time we enter into it we transmute those energy fields within us which correspond with the great unknown outside of us. This transmutation affects our entire existence, so that our very state of beingness becomes irrevocably altered. With the effects of transmutation comes eventual transformation, the emission of all that is undesirable. The inevitable product of transformation is transfiguration, a complete metamorphosis. Know then that once this process has been initiated a chain reaction takes place which cannot be stopped. The Warrior's Path is thus a path of no return - a path of transmutation, transformation, transfiguration. This is the Law. Go now to the task which has been assigned to you, for the time of change is upon us all! But as new recruits, Atl'aman, carry also within your hearts these words.— This revolution of the wheel is even now closing in upon its own beginning - the serpent of wisdom shall bite its own tail! Destiny decrees that this day be ended and that this world shall become to you only a vague memory. At the close of this day you shall be transported to what shall be your new home, your new responsibility, and you shall forget all! Yet, you must struggle to remember what it is to be the warriors of Atl, what it is to be Atl'aman! And above all you must struggle to remember what it is to be Toltec! The sacred trust invested in you can never and must never be forgotten! To this end a seed has been placed in the hearts of you all. Seven groups you are - seven seeds for seven groups Therefore seven times seven shall you be from now until the end of time. In this way at least some of you from each group will remember what it is to be Toltec, and that from the seven seeds must be grown the seven keys which will unlock again the seven seals of the One Power. Should you never remember this, the nagal of us all will stand bereft of the One Power and thus will be lost for ever in the ancient Darkness Beyond this moment I will not speak to you again, for the pattern decrees that now the fires of the forge be fanned, entered and endured..... Warriors of Atl, I salute you! By the love which is the essence of your own true inner fiery being! By the impeccability which constitutes your invincible power! By the humility which is the mark of your free spirit! May the peace and the harmony of the Yellow Rose of Friendship abide with you now and for ever more! Farewell, Atl'aman! Go now and learn what it is to be hu-man. Go learn what it is to stand! Go learn what it is to fight! The wheel will spin, and many times over will the great serpent bite its own tail before you will remember. But once you have begun to remember then let the Spear of Destiny fly true. Let the Sword of Power ring with the One Truth and flash forth the blue flame of the One Power! Atl'aman! I charge you! Remember the sacred trust! ..........Remember............. ............remember..........." prophecies of the Nameless One |
