Paul, I really want to see you take the "podcasting plunge". Not to twist your arm or anything, maybe just a litte "noodging".
29. In the years preceding the end of the Twentieth Century and afterwards, heroic incarnate Saints have used the innovative approach of Chakra Radiance and have progressed into God Realization. The first Elder Master to emerge is Avadar/Illuvatar (AKA Paul Richard). He is the most spiritually stable of the new Masters. Avadar is credited in developing the entire Chakra Radiance approach in the early 1980s in order for Saints to eventually evolve into becoming Co-Creators when once again free from matter and united directly with The Light. In following the path laid down by Avadar in living by The Golden Rule and using the innovative approach of Chakra Radiance, other stable Masters have emerged -- like Masters' Ashtara, Arion & Anrael.

Can you talk more about how Jesus Christ prevented you from astrally projecting? Also, haven't both meditation and chakras been known about for thousands of years? I have heard of heart chakra meditation before, (Chuck Palahniuk's book, Fight Club, for example) and lots of people have mentioned the positive effects of meditation combined with chakra visualization. Why is it important for you to take ownership of something so simple?

I would like to hear more about your claim that you are the reincarnated spirit of Saul of Tarsus. That's quite a claim. In relation to that, once you die, what new action will you be taking? That is to say, can you describe for us what you have learned in your travels that will make THIS death the one where you succeed?
Originally posted by smallpeeps
To clarify: If, when you were the Apostle Paul, you never got your head together enough to perform massive acts in the afterlife and thereby become a "god" or whatever, why is it that this life is now the one where you will be successful? Why do you look forward to this death more than your other deaths?
If you are Paul the cult leader who started Christianity, then maybe you might try to learn from your past incarnations and stop creating cults? Perhaps that's why you failed in the past. No disrespect. Please take my comments as constructive because I do enjoy reading your stuff. As a member of ATS, however, I have to ask the hard questions.
Just as Paul/Saul (and many others) was manipulated by many angels into furthering a false god, so you too, in having brought up these same issues to me in the past, are being used as a pawn for furthering Group Entity propaganda.
The choice remains with you.
Catharism was based on the idea that the world was evil. This was a distinct feature of older versions of Gnosticism and Neoplatonism, such as Manicheanism and the theology of the Bogomils, and the appearance of this idea in Catharism was probably due to the influence of these older Gnostic lines of thought. According to the Cathars, the world had been created by an evil deity known to the Gnostics as the Demiurge. The Cathars identified the Demiurge with the being the Christians called Satan. Earlier Gnostics, however, did not identify the Demiurge with Satan.
The Cathars also believed that souls would be reborn. The way to escape was to live an ascetic's life, and to be not corrupted by the world. Those that did live this life were called 'Perfects' (Parfaits). They had the power to wipe away a person's sins and connections to the material world, so that they would go to heaven when they died. The Perfects themselves lived lives of unimpeachable frugality, in stark contrast to those that lived within the corrupt and opulent church of the time. Commonly, the wiping away of sin, called the consolamentum, was performed on someone about to die. After receiving this, the believer would almost always stop eating, so that they could die faster, and with less taint from the world. The consolamentum was the only sacrament of the Cathar faith. They did not perform any rite of marriage, as procreation (bringing more souls into the world) was frowned upon.

I like what you have said about spirit-stuff. I have no problem with your teachings, as such. Have you read Plumbo's stuff? I'm not really treating the two of you any differently, but you still both want to cast me as "a thorn in my side, sent by [insert nemesis here]" ...I am just one man.

As for my belief systems, I'd say I believe the Seth material more than anything else, and you have spoken of it here. Didn't Seth say that the next big religious conversion in the world would be when Saul of Tarsus returned to undermine the world's religions and recreate Christianity?

Christianity is the belief system of a large portion of humans. I'm merely casting you in a fair and balanced light. I do not profess to be a christian. I do not support any Christ/messiah-worshipping group entity, nor are they moving me like a chesspiece.

That is to say, what glorious future in the higher realms of spirit, do you propose to create, and which your enemies would wish you not to create?
Originally posted by smallpeeps
If I am a pawn, then what prize is at stake between the players? I do not claim to be the reincarnated spirit of _anybody_, least of all the primary figure in the creation of Christ-worship.

Anyway, I'd like to think that I at least rate as a ranking piece like a bishop or something.

But in spite of all that, I like reading your posts and I do not have a problem with your teachings. The practices you espouse do effect change in humans and I have observed this.

I do not mean to hijack any thread of Majic's either. He asked me to post some of my questions.
Originally posted by smallpeeps
I had not heard of the Cathars until reading your writings. I am wondering if you see a persecution similar to theirs as being a possible future event? That maybe people who believe in reincarnation of any kind are going to be exterminated?

Do you have opinions on the Cathars' beliefs? I can't see how they are Christians anyway if they do not partake in the communion or the thing Jesus told his followers to do (the last supper). This article says the consolamentum was the only sacrament they had.
Whenever someone is obsessed with the Jesus is God issue, it usually means that there are those on the Other Side who are "pulling the strings." I didn't intuit this about you; it was a logical appraisal. I've had many debates with Christians.

Am I reading here that when you get debated by Christians, you quickly switch to the mental paradigm which has them being pulled like puppets, as their Group Entities attack you?

God wouldn't need to place himself at the center. God prefers to be a grasshopper, observing the world it has created, while being squished a billion times by so many heels and sharp edges of that world. God does not arrogate power unto itself. It simply IS itself.

More questions (not attacks... just questions...)
How much time can a person devote to Heart-Chakra Radiance? You keep saying "Let's not discuss me, let's talk about our heart chakras." Isn't it worth a few minutes to discuss your group, which is intended to change the world? Can't we criticize it at all?
Originally posted by smallpeeps
You don't see me as a foil, upon which you are particularly allowed to describe what you believe? I think you should look closer at the kindness I show you.

There are Buddhist monks of youthful age who meditate all day long. Since they are not using your system (maybe they just chant Ohm and haven't focused on their heart chakra), are they having a less valid effect?
Originally posted by smallpeeps
You have mentioned Sai Baba. You say that his flaw was that he lusted after children. While that is true, didn't he also have a flaw that caused him to arrogate power unto himself? Doesn't Sai Baba see his cult as being benign? Personally, I've seen a child-molesting cult from the inside and they went waaay beyond benign (Watchtower). They saw themselves as being righteous. Anyone who wants to be the head of a cult has a mental problem, IMO.

You seem to accept a priori that power is craved by all people/spirits. I do not believe this is true. I do not crave belief-system power over others.

I read your site (which you direct me to, in your responses) and i do not understand the lust issue, which you say is required to increase my aura.
Originally posted by smallpeeps
In fact, in my investigations of cults, it is the sexually repressed human who orbits around the idea of "lust" as their enemy. I have felt the claws of this in my own past. If I were to phrase this as advice I might give a friend or a child of my own, I'd say: "When a group leader encourages you to see your own personal sexual feelings as an enemy, you can be certain that this leader wants to control you."

Anyway, my point is, while I like your writings (and your website is fascinating, I will admit), I like the poetry of Sappho much more.

Question: If there are Group Entities, and the Buddha can be considered a tool of one of these, then how can the Buddhist GE be seen as anything but a good thing? It seems to be the most sophisticated religion I can find. As we know, the Buddha said outright: "I am not God." He also said, "Life is pain" which is what your Cathars also seem to be saying. In fact, whereas you say that I am the puppet of diverse Group Entities, I must also say that the Cathars themselves seemed to be much more Buddhist than Christian.

Oh okay, Jesus of Nazareth. Fine.
Here's my view of messianic thinking: If the messiah didn't exist, someone would have to invent one. Humans must have an image of one lone man being sinless giving his life for them. There is very little difference between the Christ story and the Promethean story. I try to capitalize their names (when I'm paying attention) just as a nod of respect. Even if I don't believe in the Greek gods, I do not doubt that their names have power. I do not work at offending any great powers except the ones that have directly harmed me. I also do not suffer astral attack and am always powerful and able in my dreams. How does that make us different?
Originally posted by smallpeeps
I have another question: You have said that astral projection is actually easier for people who have a lower auric color (people whose dominant auric color is orange/yellow. In fact, I have confirmed this in my own investigation. I find that when people self-identify as a orange aura, that they have also had experiences of almost effortless astral projection. This made me think about what you had said.
Originally posted by smallpeeps
Am I to understand that if a person with true power succeeds in astrally projecting, they would then be able to create a light-producing-"sun" in a different plane of existence, simply by visualization and concentration?
Originally posted by smallpeeps
That this "ascended master" would then be able to simply visualize a whole world and have it pop into existence, not to mention avataric bodies upon the planet for him and his friends?
Originally posted by smallpeeps
Do I understand that this is why these Group Entities persecute you astrally? That when you die, your soul will accomplish great things and they don't want you to do this?

Without people like me, who question you along certain paths, how else would your message really get out? I'm sure all of our discussions have a positive effect on TSOL. You certainly aren't my enemy. I don't have too many enemies in general. I just like reducing all the subterfuge which sometimes lies around what people claim.

From what I'm hearing, the best path for the soul is to be a Clint Eastwood/Han Solo type of loner, never aligning with a group of any kind. The alternative would be joining a Group Entity (or acknowledging the Group Entity which gave birth to you and blessed you). One must tread a middle path, never joining either Vader's Empire or the Rebellion, because either group can steal your soul. Is that right?
