Cosmic Consciousness

97.5% of the time "Cosmic Consciousness" is a huxter selling worthlessness at a premium. Others are not quite so worthless.

"I can't get with any religion that advertises in Popular Mechanics." - Woody Allen

AMORC was founded by H. Spence Lewis and "11 other Freemasons."

Some want to "tour a Masonic Lodge and learn more about the secretive brotherhood." (Most have 'open house' days when the public is INVITED IN for tours! Oh, and there are no secrets. [Well, for those that DO NOT READ and those THAT CAN NOT READ, there are billions of secrets.]

"The founder of AMORC, Dr. Harvey Spencer Lewis (Ph.D., F.R.C.), was a collector of various artifacts with mystical symbolism, some of them from the East. In 1921 he contributed financially to the archaeological excavations at Amarna."

When I taught an AP class in Comparative Religions (stand 'em on their head and they ALL share the same feet), I would say: "There is but one god - Aten - and Akhenaten is his prophet!" (Hint, akhenaten IS moses) Even Freud was onto this in 1939!

And, the Amarna letters are written in Akkadian (the lingua scholastica of the day)



What does ANY OF THIS have to do with the (singular) "Cosmic Consciousness?"

The quest for truth ends in the revealing of the truth (to those with eyes than can see and ears that can hear, etc.). This will come about - if not in this generation, then perhaps the next. Prophecies often fail. Though prophets fail, the profits remain (in the pockets of the huxter).

GRAND AGES - and the MYTHS WE LIVE BY.

21,000 BCE

The Zodiac is a visual means (or device) by which folklore (or an approximation thereof) can be 'remembered' and passed on to another generation by an enfeebled old fart. Not all civilizations share the same symbols for the zodiac - or even the same number (12) that is common in the West.

For example, the Mayan Astrology Chart is divided into 19 zodiac signs.

But, For H. Spence Lewis and his "popular mechanics" Rosie-Crossers, 12 would do just fine, thank you.

Religions of the Levant are half-astrology - especially the "Bible"! And, I am NOT referring to the KJV. (Which is a "furnishing" in every Masonic Lodge.)

AMORC was onto this in 1915, being rather LATE in the game.

Francis Rosicross is a good start.

The Cosmos is "what we will it to be."

Sentient Beings ARE the awareness by which the "Cosmic Consciousness" can experience itself. In individuals, there is no "self." Each is no more than another pine needle in a great forest.

In Buddhism, sentient beings have consciousness, sentience, or in some context life.

The "time of Adam And Eve" was literally a GRAND AGE!

The GRAND AGE of the Crab is literally chiseled in stone.

Egypt was NOT about Golden Calves, but Sheep!

Which brings us back to AMORC and the obsession with symbolism. (PUBLISHED IN 1912)

What set scholarship back 100 years? WHAT?

Regardless, Amarna put me onto Akkad (or Agade).

The publication of the Glossary of Old Akkadian, was announced in 1952, at the time when volumes I and II of "the Assyrian Dictionary" were being issued. Assyria is like apolitical - not political or "not Syria" for the former. There is a great deal that is "not Syria." China comes to mind. Or maybe even Cambodia!

I hope you are aware that LDS is a copy of Freemasonry...

The first five Latter-day prophets were Freemasons. Joseph Smith, Brigham Young, John Taylor, Wilford Woodruff, and Lorenzo Snow all were members of the fraternity. All joined while living with the Saints in Nauvoo.

Let's see... LDS, AMORC...

And, Freemasonry copied from Buddhism (as did Christianity)

Folklore and the similarities therein - e.g. Nu-Wa flood and Noah flood - keeps the "Cosmic Consciousness" in the same book - though not necessarily on the same page.

It's all a myth - a simulation of cosmic proportions - even life itself!

See Takuan Soho (1573-1645) and Dream.

Do not rely on stupidity or ignorance to bring you the truth.

Drumpft IS STUPID

No one can deny" "Donald is STUPID!"

Way back in the day, the "boy governor" of California proposed a "State Communications Satellite." And he was right! A state communications satellite would have saved the State of California HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS of dollars in phone and network charges over it's projected lifetime. The right wingnuts called him "governor moonbeams" to discredit the idea.

STUPID Donald Trump recently used the "moonbeam" label out of his strongest suit - ignorance.

This is really ass-clown antics on steroids - from THE WORST PRESIDENT EVER.

"w" was just the village idiot. Drumpft is a bona-fide MORON!

I can imagine a dissertation on plumbing the depths of Drumpft's stupidity. The line must be very long to mark twain (measure the distance between the bottom of the riverboat and the bottom of the Mississippi River).

Those who are hook-line-and-sinker into the trump cult will never surface again... they have drowned in the water with which they were brain washed. (Drumpft has no "brain.")

No one can deny:

Trump is STUPID

Trump is STUPID

Trump is STUPID

Trump is STUPID

Trump is

STUPID

it took him 5 years to finish 4 years of high school and six years to finish four years of college... nuff sed

Referendum on Trump’s Misconduct

Polls show that Trump has galvanized progressives, liberals, and moderates to oppose the Republican Party - now a "Trump Brand."

Representative Ryan Costello of Pennsylvania announced on Sunday that he would join a long list of more than 40 other congressional Republicans in not seeking re-election in November.

Republicans have been bracing for a punishing election in November. They are alarmed that their losses may be far worse because the midterm appears to turn more on Trump's "adolescent" behavior."

As much as gun control, immigration, and the tax overhaul are mobilizing voters on the far right, the seamy sex allegations and Mr. Trump’s erratic style could end up alienating blocs of conservative suburban voters and conservative women who find the president’s purported sex antics to be reprehensible.

There is broad consensus that Donald Trump is a lewd degenerate the pornographic film actress and director, told “60 Minutes.” However, Trump dropping his pants at Daniels’s command for a spanking may dampen the diapers of Trump-bots.

This image of their 'leader' has created a real dilemma for Republicans, especially in "judge not" bible belt states where judgement is harshest.

If republican candidates remain faithful to Trump, they risk incurring the wrath of the political center and religious right during the general election, dooming their campaigns.

But if they disavow the president, they depress turnout from their core uninformed Republican believers and watch their volunteer pool evaporate in the midday sun.

“It’s a political Catch-22,” J. Tucker Martin, a Virginia Republican strategist, said. “Candidates can’t win without their base. But what it takes to satisfy a pro-Trump base in 2018 will make Republican candidates unacceptable...”

There does not appear to be any middle ground: Mr. Martin’s candidate for governor of Virginia last November, Ed Gillespie, sought to avoid Trump, and he was soundly defeated.

At this point, many republicans are consumed with surviving their party nomination contests.

In the two states where Republicans are most at risk of losing Senate seats, the GOP’s leading candidates have aligned themselves with Mr. Trump in an attempt to preempt a challenge from their right flank in the primary. Senator Dean Heller of Nevada and Representative Martha McSally of Arizona have both praised Mr. Trump. Neither are strong candidates so it's "bully for them."

Such pro v. anti-Trump calculations in the GOP amount to political malpractice, say Democrats (holding back laughter).

“Trump is way more than the proverbial elephant in the room — he’s the elephant in the room with bad breath, B.O. and a foul mouth,” said Ace Smith, a veteran Democratic consultant.

Democrats think that Trump overwhelms the political conversation. “I don’t see headlines with: ‘Porn star sues Nancy Pelosi,’” said Representative Cedric Richmond, a Louisiana Democrat.

Just as gun control has put Republican candidates on the defensive after Saturday’s student-led demonstrations, Mr. Trump’s behavior is backing candidates into a corner.

In an illustration of how firm Trump’s grip is on the party base, the president’s past comments about groping women have become an issue in some races only because pro-Trump candidates are attacking Republican rivals for abandoning him over the infamous “Access Hollywood” remarks.

The party’s embrace of Trump's behind is most obvious in Midwestern states where he triumphed in 2016, and where Senate and governor’s races are now underway.

In Indiana, three candidates for Senate have each tried to position themselves as steadfast supporters of the White House, and one predicted Mr. Trump could earn a Nobel Peace Prize. In Ohio, Republicans running for Senate are boasting of having supported Mr. Trump before their states’ primaries in 2016.

But in other conservative-leaning Midwestern states, there is a deep recognition that Trump’s volatile persona is a problem. In Missouri, home to one of the nation’s most competitive Senate races, Mr. Trump swooped in this month to headline a fund-raiser for Josh Hawley, the mild-mannered state attorney general challenging Senator Claire McCaskill, a Democrat.

Trump used the occasion to brag about bluffing his way, using made-up facts, through a phone call with Canada’s prime minister — a boast that made international news.

Former Senator John C. Danforth, a Missouri Republican who backs Mr. Hawley, called the president a challenging force [read albatross around the neck] in the race. Voters, he said, “object to [Trump] on the basis of his style and demeanor...”

Mr. Danforth said he was hopeful voters would distinguish Republicans like Mr. Hawley from Trump, rather than rejecting “anybody who has the same label.” But as Mr. Costello noted that Trump’s persona not only fuels liberal activism — it also makes it impossible to talk about Republican policy.

“He [Trump] blocks everything else out,” Mr. Costello said of the president. “What fuels the energy isn’t the issues. It’s that [abhorrent] personality.”

Trump is WEAK - that's the naked truth..

Trump won the presidency by convincing enough uneducated white voters in three key states that only Donald Trump was strong enough to fix America.

"Nobody knows the system better than me," he said, "which is why I alone can fix it."

His critics saw hubris, but his supporters saw strength.

Members of the uninformed white working class are not predisposed to socialism.

Without strong labor unions, it's authoritarianism they like.

These people eat and sleep by being told what to do.

It was no surprise then that the uneducated, uninformed white working class found Trump's strongman's act appealing.

Unions and liberals, having been demonized and did not project strength. Only Trump did.

And it was inversely proportional to the fear that Barack Obama was a secret Muslim destroying America.

Trump was brazen. Hillary was crooked. Jeb was low energy. Little Marco was little and Lying Ted lied. Trump's main selling point was his strength – as negotiator and man's man.

Now, his supporters are starting to see him for what he is: A fundamentally weak president. And this as the midterm elections are on the horizon!
