Or, do you want an amorphous force which has no concept of self, or existence, but which creates all things with equal opportunity?
The pseudepigraphal work Testament of Solomon, attributed to King Solomon of Israel, but thought to date to the early centuries AD, mentions "Asteraoth" (in Greek) as an angel, who is opposed to the demon of power. (cf. 1 Kings 11:4-5)
He is referred to in The Lesser Key of Solomon as a very powerful demon. In art, in the Dictionnaire Infernal, Astaroth is depicted as a nude man with feathered wings, wearing a crown, holding a serpent in one hand, and riding a beast with dragon-like wings and a serpent-like tail. According to Sebastien Michaelis he is a demon of the First Hierarchy, who seduces by means of laziness, vanity, and rationalized philosophies
It could be that amorphous force has ALL concepts of self...both male and female together....instead of being only 'one or the other' coming from a concept of 'only male or female'....I agree with no labeling a gender to the Spirit of all life. This takes away its greatness to do so.
And why cant all things be emanated with equal opportunity
People need tough love. Words are not tearing people apart. That is not what is happening here. The split is happening on a momentary basis. It is being decided. The words.....they have no bearing. The actions have all the bearing. The split really is here. I led you to the English language being coded because you appeared ready for more truths. Which I still stand by. But honey to be very honest with you, your analysis of Saturn and Ra are very incorrect. I know you will disagree forever and that is fine. We can choose to see differently. If I had the foresight to know that's what you would deduce from it, I never would have talked about it with you.
Because life is not equal. Men and women are born with different functionality. Men cannot give birth. Woman's bodies—when not re-assimilated—are naturally weaker than men (no sexism intended). Even in animals, humanity—barring our intellect—is inferior to virtually all animal life. We possess no fur and cannot live outdoors or in cold climates without inventing something. We possess no developed fangs for hunting and severing flesh. We possess no extreme limbs and muscles (to the point where some birds can outrun us). No, life has no order or equalization. Life is cold, harsh, uncompromising, amoral, unethical, and without a conscience. It is up to us to develop such things and help our world function and maintain itself in light of that which life itself will not do.

Hi LV-
I'm pretty sure that we crossed paths for the first time on my Harvest thread several months ago but I could be wrong.
Here's the deal. I remember who I am. I came here for a reason. The reason is for this planet and its inhabitants. The fact that I am here right now means Harvest is certain. I am far, far away from home (of course I am One at the same time). I have been given knowledge. What is happening right now, is a big deal. It is certainly the most significant event in the planet's history. What is happening here affects the rest of this Universe.
There needs to be a certain amount of souls to be Harvested. This is a rare opportunity. This isn't a smaller cycle closing such as prior Harvests, this is a big one. When planets are Harvested as well, it's a big deal. So when I say it's sad, it is because people are being given a major opportunity to polarize and do nothing with it. It is the lack of polarity that will cause the soul to reset to a first density state. It is very difficult to sit here and watch countless souls who have been gaining millions of years of experience only to have that number reset to 0. It is further frustrating watching the blind lead the blind when we have been working so diligently to wake up humanity.
The time to grow and ascend is decreasing. The actions have to be done now. The future is a tough one if you don't act soon.
I don't mean to come off as sounding like I'm on a pedestal but I know what's coming. It's the only reason I'm here. For you, for every poster here, for the planet. I'm not judging in the least. Whatever souls decide in this, is fine by me. I just want people to have a chance at the truth.....if only they would grab their golden ticket.....

Why exactly do you have a problem with a Divine Creator being masculine? Or, for that matter, feminine too? In order for something to be created by another Thing, the Thing which is creating needs an individuated identity. Calling the Divine Creator some kind of amorphous substance would not permit this Thing to have the capabilities you are trying to associate with the Divine Creator. The concept of "I" is important towards the intellect and drive for creation, when in fact there is such a Thing as a creator. If the Thing doing the creating does not have some concept of Itself, then It can do nothing more than contemplate Its own lack-of-existence.
Unless the Divine Creator is not a sentient, conscious force capable of conscience and reasoning. In which case, the Divine Creator is neither masculine, nor feminine, nor androgynous, nor asexual because It is not measurable by the constants we attribute to gods, goddesses, spirits, devils, demons, angels, aliens, inter-dimensional beings, extra-dimensional beings, or anything else under the sun.
Abiogensis, evolution, the Big Bang, these are all examples of a genderless Creator. However, they are also a completely amoral, unethical, conscienceless force as well. They do not think, they do not act, they do not love, or hate, or regret. They feel no shame, guilt, or despair. They are simply processes which occur naturally, without the need for a cause or consideration.
So what do you really want, Magician's Apprentice? A Divine Creator, which would require It to identify Itself in some manner of relation to it's creations... Or, do you want an amorphous force which has no concept of self, or existence, but which creates all things with equal opportunity?
You cannot have both.

A child enters his mentor's dōjō one day, carrying a large, orange rubber ball. The child says to his mentor: "Sensei, how may I balance this ball?"
The Sensei studies the large, orange rubber ball. Taking it up into his hands he replies to the student: "Child, you may balance it as so," and the Sensei proceeds to balance the large, orange rubber ball on the opened palm of his hand.
"Thank you, Sensei," the child says, reclaiming his large, orange ball and turning to leave. He bows gracefully to his Sensei.
"Child," says the Sensei, "that is not the only way to balance the ball."
"It is not?" Replies the child.
"No," the Sensei tells the child. "Please, child, show me another way you may balance the ball."
The child sits in silent contemplation for a moment. "I know!" He exclaims. The child then places the ball at the tip of his index finger, spinning it quickly, and the ball balances.
"Very good," the Sensei says. "Now, child, tell me how does the ball balance?"
"What do you mean, Sensei?" The confused child asks.
"What is the manner in which the ball balanced on my opened palm?" The Sensei asks, reclaiming the large, orange rubber ball and balancing it again.
"Surely, Sensei, it is a combination of proper placement, and gravity." The child says, studying how the cup of the palm interacts with gravity to lock the ball in place.
"You are correct, child," the Sensei says. "But you are also wrong."
The child is confused.
"Look, child," the Sensei begins, "study how I keep my posture still and calm. I do not let myself agitate the balance of the ball and my body."
"I understand now, Sensei," the child begins.
"You understand two ways in which a truth balances this ball, Child. But you do not understand all of the ways in which a truth may balance this ball."
The child looks frustrated. "Tell me, Sensei, all of the ways in which a truth may balance this ball."
"Certainly child. Gravity may balance this ball. As may my posture. But so also may velocity balance this ball," the Sensei states, as he too spins the ball on his index finger. "This ball may also be balanced through centering yourself," the Sensei places the ball upon his head and balances it by keeping absolutely still.
"Sensei, are those the only ways in which the ball may be truthfully balanced?"
"Mu," replies the Sensei.
"I do not understand," the child says.
"Your question is irrelevant," the Sensei says. "For, it is not about the ways in which the ball may be balanced. There are many. It is instead of more importance that the child learns to balance the ball in his or her own way."
The Sensei hands the child the large, orange rubber ball. "Show me how you would balance your large, orange rubber ball, child."
The child contemplates again. "Sensei, the answer to your inquiry is also mu."
"And why is that, child?"
"It is because, Sensei, I have already taught myself a way in which I may balance this ball. And, I have shown you how I would balance my ball," the child takes the ball and spins it on the index finger. "I would do it like this."
"Very good, child!" The Sensei exclaims. "Now you have learned how the truth is variable, and that the balancing of a ball, like the fate of a life, rests not in the hands of masters, but in the understanding of students."
"Thank you, Sensei" the child says rising, following the motion with a deep bow. The Sensei returns the bow and reclaims his seated position.
The child leaves, studying the large, orange rubber ball. A plethora of news paths, truths, and understandings have been opened up to him now.

You sir, or ma'am, know what's what. I've been reading a lot of rambles, a lot of self-absorbed egoism, and a lot of blatant bigotry and belittlement of others by many members on this thread before I made my first post. You, however, have had a certain style to your postings that demonstrates a compassion, understanding, and general love of being who you are amidst the race you're a part of.
That is what being "awake" is really about. Not densities (lower, higher, astral). Not preparing people for the harvests (which ARE coming, but not in the way described here). Not love (tough, kind, universal or chemical). No. Being awake is about relating to, rejoicing in, contemplating with, and living hand-in-hand with our fellow human beings regardless of the road they're on.
Thank you, for being a breath of uncontaminated air amidst the dank slime being spewed by gods and awakened ones throughout this whole thread.

Yes all good, but remember the mentor said the only way to balance the ball is the truth, hence this means all ways in which the ball balances are the truth
the point of the childs actions was to represent peoples egos holding them back from learning
hence they do not accept opportunity of learning instead continuely kick the ball away
your statements show wisdom good to see, indeed the child must learn to balance the ball with truth on his own
could it be because you see it as ego, you are then seeing through the egos eyes? In posts past you showed wisdom but in the present you show ignorance

The truth is a many varied thing. Which is what makes it worth pursuing.

Your child may represent such. My child represents the ability within us all to become something great.
hence they do not accept opportunity of learning instead continuely kick the ball away
You teach narcissism, segregation, defamation, intolerance, bigotry and closed-mindedness. I would be proud to know any child who kicked your ball away and said "I know another way".

On this we both agree.

Do not measure my merit by the acts of those whom I associate myself.
Measure, instead, my merit by my own actions.
I do not see compassion for the fellow man as ego.
Nor do I see understanding and relation to all roads as ego.
I will not see the thirst for complex conversation as ego.
And I certainly refuse to accept ego by association.
No, Adonai, it is not that I am now showing ignorance.
It is that you disagree with the stance I have taken.
Ignorance is not handed out by the few to the many.
Ignorance is earned by actions and their repercussions.
Please practice a higher awareness of self-control over your own egoism.
The Inner Life is not achieved by sowing discord.
It is instead achieved by seeding compassion.
Did you speak or was it your ego then?
perhaps ignorance is lack of knowing and you spoke as in showing lack of knowing?
hence you correcting a uncorrectable statement
You see as you choose to see but is it the truth you see or what it is you think is truth
In your own words is your reflection, perhaps look and see what you look like
