WAY OF THE SEVEN STARS


Response To That Final Question:

Ignorance is the Bane of Man.
At a distance removed,
Dimly remembered, and
Still not seen distinct,
But yet somehow felt;
What we do sense
Is not reality; is not the Real Thing.
This World is hologram.
Then; for lucid sleep;
For it's just a dream
Within another dream
And we are not awake.

Seven Stars' Song of Revelation

Ignorance is a jail where no escape
Is possible but through knowledge.
Don't fear nor spurn. Dare to learn:

Assent to and accept this world as it is
Before attempting ascent to any world
Aspired to or wished for. Life's glorious!

That That Is can be known but by few.
Not space, not time, not gravity exists;
But as Extension from Field of Thought.

Be subject to neither church nor crown.

Dread naught. Disdain none: Not One!
Absent That That Is, there's Nothing.

That That Is, IS. That That's Not, IS, too.
That That's Not makes That That Is: IS.
That That Is makes That That's Not BE.

By rowing to That That Is, I become "I."
Wind + Water = Wave. As THOUGHT is
The Heart and The Nave of The Wheel.

Worlds are created from Thought alone.
That which we will do is because of that
What we are. We'll become who we are.

Charity, courtesy, civility, compassion,
Are cardinal spokes making civilization;
Chivalry forms center, hub's circle core.

IS is! Be not the slave of some other's I.
This, Creed of our Seven Stars Society;
This, The Teaching of the Seven Stars:

No man can be happy if he should choose
To be exile from his own nature and soul.
ALL IS THOUGHT ILLUMINATING BEING

Future of Humanity

Contrary to the popular notion humanity is becoming similar, interchangeable ethnically and culturally; just the opposite has happened.  People are more different than they have ever been before and they are growing even more different.  People are not the same; not that they ever were.  So no single system can possibly work for everyone.  There could never be a universal anything.  All humanity could never subscribe to the same faith or to the same belief.  What does this imply?   It implies: conflict is the natural state of Man.

Dangerous Belief Systems

Dangerous belief systems treat their adherents like merchandise in order to sell and to market the belief system to others.  Their adherents are praised for not questioning the "mysteries" of the belief system and for their loyalty in following the practices and the customs of the belief system.  Beneficial belief systems encourage questioning of all the tenets and practices of the system.  Since all belief systems have to be man-made, there can't be any tenets that can't be questioned; nor could there be customs that cannot ever be changed.  Good systems change and evolve.  Bad systems are static and stuporic.  If the tenets of a belief system seem stupid and non-scientific, they truly are dumb. 

Belief Systems and their Dangers

Belief systems were invented to preserve vanished cultures and unless the belief system is capable of change and evolving, so it can become reflective of contemporary culture, the belief system itself will eventually vanish.  Some belief systems are inherently extremely dangerous as they refuse to recognize their human origins.  There is nothing wrong with having been invented---all art is.  There is something terribly wrong with denying that a system of belief was invented and in stating the system of belief may have had a non-human origin.  That frankly is insane and insanity is dangerous.  That's my belief.
