By What Authority

Let's revisit the narrative of Lot.

Because people have become so familiar with these stories, they don't actually read them anymore with a critical mind, and think about what is being said - and then, for another thing, the language is in fact rather terse, leaving out explanations and just relaying a kernel of the main ideas being communicated to subsequent generations. And, there are repetitive phrases and expressions which are intended to mean something very specific, but we read them like simple strings of transparently explaining words.

Why are we escaping the flesh again?
'Yes, my lord Bassanio, why?'
Asks my lord Balthazar... 

Now there are two - 2 - things I want to draw out from the Biblical narratives overall that I am looking at here:

1. Recognition of different beings (which recognizing is just slipped into the narrative with no explanation at all as to how);

2. The Sine Curve (or Gaussian Curve, I'm not sure which is the best way to think of it).

Now Lot.

Lot - which name means 'veiled' - is the nephew of Abraham, the guy who started this all, or at least, who appears to be the bridging point between archaic myth about 'Adam and Eve' and some 'turn' in the trajectory of Mankind. As far as the Judaeo-Xtian thing goes at least.

As these beings Abraham automatically has addressed as 'lords' and with whom he has eaten beef and bread and drunk some sort of alcoholic beverage, get up and leave for Sodom, Lot is somehow 'waiting at the gates' of Sodom. Whether he always just 'waits at the gates' I don't really know - but nonetheless, he too, Abraham's nephew Lot, immediately recognizes these beings as 'lords' addresses them that way right away, and bids them quickly come back to his place and once again, eat and drink and stay the whole night because he actually fears for their safety.

Both Abraham and Lot address these individuals as 'my lord' and yet, at least two of them are very young 'people' - especially in the case of Abraham you would have to suppose that Abraham is an old man. So, while we all down here these days have become used to thinking of 'wise' being equated always with 'old' this is evidently not the way the actually old Abraham, nor even Lot too, thought of it in terms of the beings they were talking with.

Shakespeare is onto this too.

Jesus! JES -  is that you, Portia, I mean
Balthazar??

He makes the incredibly knowledgeable, and indeed factually 'at law' powerful, lawyer in the Merchant of Venice a young person called 'Balthazar' whom the story at first makes out is an 'apprentice at law from Rome' but who is in fact the female Portia masquerading as a young lawyer.

Some phrases about this 'young apprentice at law,' Balthazar, say he is from Rome, whereas in others, it is specified he is from Padua, which is a province of the Venetian Republic, and not a constituency of Rome at all. Nevertheless, Rome is still being upheld as a center of 'Law' anyway, and then Padua, gives this gentleman the right to address the court as a Venetian.

And then again, 'Balthazar' is also telling you that this is something to do with the Biblical identities bearing that name.

This name is completely obscure both in the Biblical narratives, as well as in the received folklore that we have today...

The name is attached not only to the strange prophet Daniel, and to his mysterious and nor corporeal-behaving physical aspects and 'events' that attend his life, but also to one of the 'Wise Men from the East' (somewhere, a place once again, we are not really being told where that really is).

'To the fruit of the wise, unbidden comes.'

Portia (the real person underneath 'Balthazar') is young and wise. And there is much more to this character but we won't need to go into it here for now.

Anyway my question is - how do Abraham and Lot recognize these 'Balthazar's?' Or in fact, these 'Portia's' really, because not only are they young, but they are extremely wise, and very good-looking!

...So. So then, additionally, one of these repeating phrases used is like this: 'after the time of life/in the time of life/according to the time of life.'

What does that mean?

The townspeople of Sodom, go to Lot's house and shout at him from outside, and even threaten to do a 'home invasion' (See? You're in good company Abu Layth) because they know he is harboring these good-looking young people who are 'strangers' from outside of the city.

Well see, here's what I am going to conclude about this, but I am going to set it today; in our time now, today.

Most probably, these 'strangers' are coming to Abraham and Lot (and some others too) all the time. They know exactly who they are, as well as what they are - because they are engaging with them quite regularly.

I think Cate Blanchett and 
Kirsten Stewart have played 
a Merchant of Venice thing. 
Yeah I think so. I haven't seen
 it though.

It's only the US government and the Pentagon who have no real interchange with whoever is inside these 'vehicles...' Same as the rulers of Sodom, had no idea...

But someone is having contact with them all the time.

They know exactly who they are and what they look like, as well as what they are.

Tao raised the important question about 'the flesh.' 

A simple, simplistic in a way, answer is to have a look at the first three of the Monroe Institute's on-line YouTube videos that are now on YouTube (including the 'orientation' introduction piece) and these are very basic (believe me, there is a lot more that goes on if you are ever actually in any of the several Monroe Institute physical locations and facilities).

Most people can achieve some kind of 'experience' after following along with those videos.

However, the Book of Corinthians - and even, would you believe, the Pyramidion etchings - give you authority to think about it a little differently...

Corinthians is very explicit (it's in 1 Corinthians 15:35 all the way to the end), except it is using language as best available at the time, to tell you two very important things: one, Man started out as base matter, and then was upgraded in a process (after the time of life), and attained a different kind of 'being-ness' and then even the mortal animal can be upgraded (it literally does say all of those things).

So - first you achieve a non-Earthbound intelligent condition ('maybe' you can access this using the Monroe ideas, some people have done), but then, there 100% is a prospect of some kind of 'superior' physical - fleshy - nature as well. And this, we may adduce from the narratives about who or what Abraham and Lot were interacting with.

This goes with the music below...

I don't like to go into details about actual methods that I consider are better than anything publicly available via things like Monroe Inst. material - or even the Vedic chakra ideas (which can be exceptional if you know which ones) because I think this requires dedication, and practical facilities and modern technology and some reasonable 'free' time. Because it is a process. Life is a process. It's not 'a static thing.' It's a curve.
