Dancing with the Devil


"If you can't dance with the devil
You will never walk in the Light."

Well now..this is an interesting subject isn't it? At arecent event, I was asked about the "Anti-Christ," a topic that brings chills

to the heart of the traditionalist. Visions of some big hairymonster with the "mark of the beast" (reference the Mark of the Beast article found on the Warrior Lounge) emblazoned uponits forehead flashes through the mind of the fundamentally conditioned mind. Give me a break!

Let's start from the beginning....

First, it is critical to understand that the term"Christ" is not a name (nor is Buddha). Contrary to popular belief, itwas not the last name of a Jewish adept that lived long ago -- not evenclose. Christ is a degree, an accomplishment, a title of the achievement ofenlightened consciousness.

Unbeknownst to traditional Western conditioning therewere many "Christs" prior to the achievement of the savior status of the man knownas Jesus.

By the way..

This in no way whatsoever diminishes this Savior'saccomplishment -- infact, it makes it all that more commendable. I can much moregreatly respecta child of God like you and me who put in the time, study, andwork to achievehis lofty state then someone who was born with the golden spoonof enlightenmentsticking out of his mouth. Can't you?

How can you or I attempt to even relate -- muchless aspire -- to a perfect person, born perfect, always to be perfect tellingus to be "like him?"

If Jesus not being "born" with this Christ monikerpushes the buttons of your conditioning, then let me ask you...

There are approximately 30 years of his life missing inthe Bible. If he was born fully enlightened as the traditionalist claim, thenwhy wasn't he healing the sick and teaching for all those years? What washe doing? Where do you think he was -- fishing? Hardly.

With the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls, it is fairlywell agreed that Jesus was an Essene. The Essenes were a mystical Christian groupwell known for their discipline, rites of passage and physicalprowess.

So what was the future Christ doing? He was doing hiswork -- the same work that you and I must do if we ever hope to attain the samelevel of consciousness and ability.

But this accomplishment...

...was not unique to Jesus. All the great ones --Christs or Buddhas in their own right -- had to do their work. There is no short-cut toenlightenment.

Back to where we began....

So once again we return to the question of the hour.What the hell (no pun intended) is the Anti-Christ?

Well, all the great ones have told us that everythingthey did we are also able to do.

"Even the least among you can doall that I havedone and even greater things."

"As the Father sends me so are you sent."

"Have I not said you were gods?"

Now you either believe what was said or not...you cannotpick and choose. Bottom line is that your reason for existence is to become aChrist and/or Buddha which simply means a state of high consciousness. Toomuch for you to handle? Then get over it -- that is your sole (andsoul) purpose for being on this planet! Once again.. you either believe whatthe masters have taught or you don't.

Therefore, since Christ is a state of consciousness andenlightenment. The anti-Christ must be anything that is contrary or inopposition to this state of being. Traditional religion falls prey to beingcontrary to your Christhood every time it tells you that you are lessthan your full God-given potential. Isn't this truly "anti-Christ?"

Any institution or individual that tells you that youare less than this Christ potential -- any institution that tells you that you must"have faith" and "believe" hoping for your after-death prize is the anti-Christ. You need to become your true self NOW, notsometime in the sweet by and by.

"The kingdom of heaven iswithin."

Definitely not a "condo on a cloud."

"The kingdom of heaven is athand."

That's just an arms length away.

But it gets better still....

Quantum physics tells us that there is a universal lawcalled The Law of Polarity. This law states that everything in the thirddimension must have an equal and opposite -- every electron with a negativecharge has a proton with a positive charge, up has down, hot has cold, goodhas bad, etc.

For this reason, if there is a Christ, then there has tobe an Anti-Christ it cannot be other than this in 3D. So here is the kicker....

If you or anyone have moments of being the Christ (whichyou definitely do -- even if only fleeting)...

Then guess what?

That's right..you also have to have your moments ofbeing the antithesis of this. Can you get your mind around the fact that every timeyou limit yourself and your abilities, every time you debase yourself,every time you sell yourself short, every time you give less than your verybest -- you are the big, hairy beast that scared the hell out of youin your Sunday school class?

Sort of puts things in a new perspective doesn'tit?

"The greatest sin is to question yourdivinity."
-- Essene axiom

At the first of this treatise I mentioned "dancing withthe devil." The "devil" you must dance with is the same devil that Jesus danced with in the desert for 40 days and nights. If you thinkthat there was a literal horned beast with a pointy tail that tempted himin the sand, then think again. I mean come on..give me abreak!

Jesus was dancing with his own internal dark side,self-doubt, and temptation to use his powerful abilities for personal gain. And this is themost important dance (or wrestling match) you can participate in.

The traditions maintain that you must release a minimumof 51% of your personal karmic baggage (or darkness) if you ever hope to stepinto your birthright in this lifetime.

So to recap:

  • You have been told time and again that you are expected tofulfill your Christ potential.

  • You are on the planet for the sole (soul) purpose tocomplete this task.

  • Any institution or leader that tells you otherwise or inany way attempts to limit you is the antithesis of this goal andtherefore the "anti-Christ."

  • Any time you sell your self short of your true identity andChrist potential YOU are anti-Christ.The church of tomorrow and the future will be a learninglaboratory of consciousness and a joint pursuit of full enlightenment andChrist ability. Anything else is just a social construct and you might as welljoin the rotary club.

    So no more childish nightmares my friend, just much workto be done.

    You cannot listen and think your way to salvation -- you mustdo the work -- and unfortunately, there is no shortcut.
