In modern times there are stereotypes
about Crazy Charlie, the reprobate uncle, or Aunt Jane the
self-medicating schizophrenic chief executive of a Wall Street
financial services contractor.
Alas, I have neither of those types
anywhere near or in my recent family history or recalled past. And to
underscore the seriousness of the Left-Handed tale I am about to
recount, I might just add that my own father's aunt was Gertrude
Bell. Without whom no such place as the House of Saud would today
likely exist at all.
A Blessing, in Disguise, though following the Left-Handed Path |
I could, I suppose end right here and
all would be well. But that is of course not my style.
Witnessing Dick Cheney's recent Fox
interview in which he mentions the Hezb e Islamia
organisation, I nearly decided to break my largely self-imposed
silence on this topic, that begun on the morning of this year's
Boston Marathon – but I have thought better of it, and shall steer
away from disturbing and fruitless complaining about what little
the powerful people
who claim to be well-informed, really know.
I was blessed by having uncles who were
not only exceedingly well-travelled, but deeply – very deeply
learned in many cultures and
languages. The two of them were both involved in global oil.
The Arabic or let's
say Middle Eastern culture in a megalithic sense contains many
popular ideas – all of which are entirely wrong when it comes to an
accurate explanation of what the sources and actual meanings of these
popular ideas are, even in the mouths of local people who are
nevertheless not within the inner circles of the initiated. Thus,
many ideas come to the West already in a mixed-up state.
In this post I
propose to enlighten you on the reality of the Djinn, and how to
employ them properly.
Now take for
example Christina Aguilera (picture of her on the right, below) who sang the song "Genie in a bottle." She looks
tall in this pic but she is in fact really quite a tiny thing in RL.
She might be a kind of an embodied genie. And there are a lot of them
around the place. Like all the Qin, they are mostly Asiatic.
"Genie in a bottle" |
Created from
smokeless flame, they exist as structures of sub-atomic particles,
and wax and wane according to the strength of an IDEA. The metaphor
of the 'smokeless flame' comes from ideas being either like or
actually, a form of smokeless flame – an electricity, an energy –
that can burn, like a fire.
They are
intelligent and because of their general longevity many possess an
accumulation of means. They can move backwards and forwards in time,
and if a thing 'has not happened' in the future, they are unaware of
it; if they are aware of a thing, it means it MUST 'have happened.'
Or, in other words, that it will happen, and more to the point, if
you can but encourage a genie to think about something in particular,
then they will start to work on it diligently at once not faltering
until it 'happens' in present reality. And since they have means and
can manouevre in time itself, they can bring about the thing's
occurrence quickly.
To organise the
support of a real genie, you must have a strong idea – one that is
logical and possible in reality, and preferably innovative, and
because ideas themselves are the breath of life for such creatures,
they are attracted to good and strong ideas particularly and may
arrange their many means in support of your prosecution of a very
good idea. And the idea need not be morally good to be able to
recruit their support.
In Sufi Mysticism,
the Universal Oneness of intelligent being, implies that the maxim
that 'God' simply says 'Be, and a thing Is' is also an expression of
the actions, ways, and means of the sub-atomic electric world of the
Djinn.

The Sufi phrase is
'Kun Faaya Kun.' I have pointed your way now to a great mysterious
and magical song by an exceptional modern musician AR Rahman which is
nothing less than an actual Sufi Mantram disguised in a Bollywood pop
song.
Now if you think
you know anything about Middle Eastern religious beliefs, I am about
to direct you also to some Moroccan Sufi Chanters – who are singing
what we here in the West know as the English Christmas song
'God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen.' (Edit. Added: well, the music is known in the West as Handel's Antioch - aka Joy To World - but the words approximate the former mentioned Christmas Carol). Salafists, who are creating all the grist to Kissinger's mill, are slightly confused about their own history...

And therein, I
suppose, lies the rub.
This is not something that I thought that I would see here.
ReplyDeleteFrom you.
I suppose the question is whether or not "they" are an egregore.
Having no experience in this area (granted, all my experience in this area is a degree of separation from it), I am unsure.
Granted, I swing from the Right, not from the Left.
On the one hand I was really only simply suggesting that modern salafist islam is a dumbed-down version of deliberately obscured ancient sources - on the other hand it's hard to demonstrate this without disclosing, let's say, a liberal view of the world. As far as the realities behind the 'tales tall and true' go, 'egregore' (out of the towering emotion) is just a glamourised/poetic way of talking about psychological phenomena. Individuals' perceptions of truth and reality vary vastly, it seems, and so it is hard to know the whole picture about this sort of subject, merely from the reports of others. Hope you checked out the music, though!

ReplyDeleteIf I ever see an actual "egregore", I'll let you know. I'm not holding my breath.
I've seen lots of bad cults that are products of badly used group psychology, though, that have no business existing. I call them "evil cults".
I didn't even know about the "left hand"/"right hand" thingy until I read it on wikipedia.
Indeed. People are apparently so very susceptible to mischievous ideas, and sometimes these ideas take hold as huge, popular ideologies too. My phrase 'a liberal view of the world' is code for the kind of stance say, Julius Caesar expresses in his 'Histories'... Which means to say that I don't mind what people believe, as long as they are prepared to take the potential losses. Today's world is a blessing in disguise to those prepared to consider things carefully and to weigh them up. A blessing to those who can throw out the nonsense, and retain the valuable.
