i take what you have said very seriously and it appears to be a very good warning. as for 'speshul'. i don't really paint a special picture.
i'm as regular as a dementure patient in a nappy.
and we all know as soon as your born you start dieing.
so what makes you think your point is advice? experience?
and we all know as soon as your born you start dieing.
Physically. Only physically. And even that's not true. The body regenerates throughout. You're not currently in the same body as the one in
which you were born, are you?
'As soon as you're born you start dying' sounds like lyrics from a 'please make me rich from this' song-writer.
Cup half full or half empty? Born-start dying. Or born and getting on with it -- moving towards something -- never stop trying -- never stop
GROWING, etc. ?
what if i owe them and decide to return the favour.
Seems you're happy to 'owe them'? But worried about the cost to you? So challenging with 'what if I decide to return the favour' ?
First: WHAT do you have to offer them?
Second: like blackmail, when is enough enough? When have you repaid the debt? Who *decides* the amount of the debt --- you or them?
Who decides when that debt's repaid -- you or them?
Third: Can you trust them? Can you trust them to hold to the deal? Can you trust them *not* to extort you -- to continue to pressure
you, haunt you, torment you, terrify you, eat you?
Four: can you be *sure* the deal is what you want -- what you initially believe that deal to be? e.g., you owe them a cow -- they
demand ALL your cows AND the barn.
So, if you're thinking of dealing with these entities or whatever, why not test your capacity to deal with mongrels here on the flesh and blood
earth-plane first? Go to a loan shark, the worst you can find. Borrow. Renege on the payments. See what happens. See how you fare. See if you
feel like taking on this kind or monstering from strong-arm characters whom you *cannot* see or hit or evade on physical level. Then decide if you
feel like going paranormal with this stuff on a level that's completely off the scale of what you've experienced so far. Makes sense to do this:
you wouldn't buy a car without test driving it, would you?
will it be bad? like murder?
Bad like murder? That's probably like Crocodile Dundee taking the pig-stabber off the gang-member and holding his own monster-knife under said
gangsta's face and smiling: ' That's not a knife. *This* is a knife ! '
Bad like murder? Oh, there are worse things than murder, as you know.
And they'll hurt YOU. YOU will be hurt. 'They' don't need you to commit murder. YOU might need to commit murder, but that's another thing
altogether. 'Bad like murder' might sound to you (the you screaming throughout eternity) as childlike as some kid asking if it will be 'as bad as
taking a dime from my mom's purse'. As you scream thoughout eternity, you'll wonder how you could ever have been so naive as to imagine murder as
the worst crime you could be forced to commit.
But why not ask yourself *why* you'd ever entertain the thought of dealing with something which you do *not* know -- have *no* reason to trust
............ when you suspect *in advance* that dealing with it may require you to murder some stranger-fellow-traveller ?
I wouldn't go near a deal like that.
Would you?
Because *if* you consider that some deals *might* be worth committing murder for ----------- then *they* know that already. And *if* you feel --
right now -- that you *might* be willing to commit murder if the gain is high enough -------- then *they* will (right now) be perfectly correct in
believing that you are just looking for an *excuse* to commit murder.
And they'll *give* you that excuse.
Then, what will happen is this: you'll whine that *they* 'forced you' into committing murder. And *they* will hold a mirror to your soul.
It's a special mirror. It's BS proof. It's an uncanny mirror: it forces you to look in it. It makes you *see yourself as you are* --- even
through your closed eyelids. So you'll *never* be able to get away with lying to yourself. Every cell in your body (physical or astral or whatever)
will scream -- continuously and discordantly -- to *you*, inside your exhausted mind --- that *you* are the murderer who lusted for the opportunity to
commit your crimes.
If your lusts run to theft, then it will be theft which They 'force' you to commit. If your weakness is children, then it will be pedophilia which
They 'force' you to commit. They will drive you to sate yourself on your crimes but the debt will never be paid. And when you scream that They
'forced' you -- your mind will laugh right back at you and force you to relive your crimes, over and over. And your mind will remove from you any
possible 'other' to blame. That blame will be yours. It will burn and flay you. As you know, eternity's a long time. So think long term before
you set out on these adventures.
We're all speshul. And we're all the same.
Maybe you don't feel special enough right now. Maybe you've tried the 'good' side and it let you down or didn't acknowledge you in the way you
would have wished? Maybe you prayed for something and your prayer seemed to have been ignored?
Maybe you decided: 'Ok. I'll go to the opposition then. *They* like me. They'll help me. You had your chance. Anyway -- what does it matter
which 'side' I go to: 'good' or 'evil' ? One's as powerful as the other. Who cares who helps me, as long as I get that help? ' ---- and
similar thoughts and rebellions and 'feel tough' moments.
What can anyone say to you? In a divorce, kids play mom against pop all the time.
Some people believe that the divide between 'good' and 'evil' is simply a bad-divorce between God and the Debil.
In which case, it makes sense to make proposals to both -- to see who comes good: to see who comes up with the goods: to see who 'really cares'.
In the final analysis, it's up to the individual.
Physical life seems very LONG when someone is only 13 or 21 or 35.
People tend to believe that in some strange way, they can apply the brakes when they hit their 'preferred age'. Only way to know is to try doing
that: try stopping the clock when you hit 29. Then try plastic surgery. Then try divorce and a new partner. etc.
Nothing works. The clock still ticks, no matter what you do.
It ticks one-way, as far as physical life is concerned.
After that is anyone's guess.
It could be just one big permanent blackness and sleep.
Or it could be Heaven and Hell.
Or it could be whatever you imagine it to be. Etc.
But *HOW MANY* souls do you have? Better start counting now, before you spend more than you have.
* HOW LONG* is eternity? What would you compare it to --- a boring evening with your auntie? Maybe you'd need to extend that just a bit. Eternity
is said to be endless. To me, that's similar to the term 'bottomless'. And 'bottomless' has always had a chill sound to it. Whatever, eternity
is a long time to have to 'sleep in the bed you made' whilst safely inside a physical body.
Finally: * WHO/WHAT* do you trust: sight unseen?
Do you trust this 'god' 'ultimate source of goodness, mercy, forgiveness and compassion and understanding' whom you've heard about?
Or do you trust something that is so evil it beggars comprehension, which will torture you without end for time without end, etc.? Or maybe the Debil
will be a sort of fat, humorous Donald Rumfeld who'll feed you worms and warm blood?
Then, make your choice.
Your choice
