Following a shepherd even more asleep

Promising you bountiful meadows

Transforming your spouses into widows

Go f*** yourself, mislead horse

Driven by a rider on an endless course

It may seem like a battle or even a race

But in truth, it’s a grave disgrace

Go f*** yourself, overused donkey

Plowing the fields like a lifeless zombie

Expecting to get endless feasts and respect

Yet all you’re earning is neglect

Go f*** yourself, herded goat

Looking for leaders who’ll buy your vote

Enjoying the earnings for a little while

Then getting discarded in the garbage pile

Go f*** yourself, fattened pig

Full of self-importance, feeling big

Carving your path with petty crime

Sooner or later will come your time

Go f*** yourself, lost person

Wake up now before things worsen

Your leaders are an image of your self

So only you can F*** FREE YOURSELF

The world we live in is infinitely more complex and much more interesting than most people believe. Unfortunately, in our choice to disbelieve in the natural powers of the universe, we are making it more and more bland and uninteresting. Magick (yes with a K), is one of the things we gave up in service of religion and the social order at a high cost for ourselves.

To begin with, let us delve deeper into a true understanding of magick. It is the conscious manipulation of energy through the human mind. If we look closer at things, we can see that everything is eventually made of energy. If the object you want to manipulate is made of energy, you are made of energy, and the air between you and that object is made of energy, then why can’t we influence one energy with another through more energy. Well, we actually can, but it does require a tremendous amount of concentration, which needs a lot of time and effort to cultivate.

It is ironic how the religion that most fights against magick is the one in which magick is praised under another name: miracles. When a person heals the sick without a medical procedure we rush to call it a miracle and name him a saint. But what has that person done be it before or after his death? This “saint” has effectively manipulated energy through the power of his consciousness. So, in effect, he performed magick.

If we study the lives of saints and mages, we can deduce that we need three things to be able to do magick/miracles:

1- Belief: Saints and mages believed in their own power and in their own ability to do things. Regardless of what their background belief is, it all boils down to believing in the higher power, whether they call it god, energy, angels, etc… It doesn’t matter what they believe in as long as they believe.

2- Energy: Belief alone is not enough if you don’t have the energy to do it. Saints and mages always performed prayer or meditation rituals in order to increase their energy. Eventually, when they had enough, they could do what they wanted.

3- Wisdom: If you had the belief and the energy, you could perform magick which would probably do more harm than good. Energy is directly connected to karma. If a saint had the power to heal all the sick, he might be harming a great number of them who are sick for a reason beyond physical. Through sickness, people are often dealing with past karma or learning new and important life lessons. By healing them prematurely, the mage may have inadvertently set that person’s life off course. This is why a saint or a mage are more known for their wisdom than for their magick.

In conclusion, magick and miracles are just different names for the same thing. The reason why we’re not seeing magick more often in the world is because most mages are extremely wise people who only use magick when absolutely needed. However, by being aware of it, each person is able to perform small acts of magick such as cleansing and energizing places and people.

Most of us find it very difficult to evolve and improve ourselves, and this is mainly because we need someone to look at us with fresh, yet sharp, eyes. When we look around, we find a huge number of so-called life coaches and mentors in different disciplines such as NLP, auto-hypnosis, and an abundance of other programs. Unfortunately, while some of these mentors or gurus may be authentic, the vast majority are in it for the money. In this article, we will discuss the various criteria that a mentor should possess before apprenticing yourself to him/her. Finding a true mentor is rare, but once the seeker of wisdom is ready, the universe will place the right mentor (or sometimes mentors) on his path.

NOTE: This article deals more with choosing a more holistic mentor, and this is not to be confused with choosing a professional consultant.

#1: A mentor does not charge fees for his counsel but accepts gifts

As a general rule of thumb, when a guru or a mentor puts a price tag on his coaching, then it’s mainly a scam. True wisdom is freely given because the mentor knows that by sharing his wisdom, he will only be gaining more of it. I have seen mentors and gurus charging hundreds and even thousands of dollars for single sessions with them. In spirituality, this goes completely against every principle. On the other hand, it is the duty of the disciple to show gratitude to his mentor who will gracefully accept any kinds of gifts, be it financial or otherwise, as long as it is given with LOVE (see this article for more details). However, true mentors know that not all disciples can afford gifts, yet this is no reason to refuse their discipleship. While the universe will find appropriate ways to reward the mentor for his work, the mentor doesn’t really care about this. Enjoying the evolution of the disciple is tremendously rewarding for the mentor beyond any gift.

#2: A mentor builds trust with his disciples before anything else

A mentor knows that the road to wisdom and personal evolution is not easy, and many disciples can’t handle all the hardships which need to be endured on the way. Accordingly, the mentor knows that he may have to sometimes force his disciple to do things which are outside his nature, and maybe even difficult, in order to overcome certain fears, faults or shortcomings. If trust is not there, the student can easily give up and leave to go find another mentor. However, if there is enough trust and love between the mentor and the disciple, the latter will know that the former wouldn’t ask him to do something haphazard and that there is a very important lesson to be learned from the assigned task. This is why most mentors would require a promise of almost absolute obedience from their disciples as a test of faith.

#3: A mentor can discuss almost anything

While a mentor may have certain areas of expertise, he should have enough general knowledge about almost anything. When he doesn’t, he can admit it while making sure to research it later, for it may be an important anchor into the disciple’s spirit. Moreover, a mentor who has learned just one method and uses it with every disciple is not truly a mentor, but more of a teacher. Such a coach will not be able to work or succeed with all his students, but only with the limited number on whom the methodology can be applied. Such a person may be better employed as a professional consultant for he is only able to tackle his areas of expertise and not much more. On the other hand, a true mentor takes in the disciple globally, assesses his personality, strengths, weaknesses, fears, and faults and then devises an adaptable personalized plan for each disciple accordingly.

#4: A mentor sees a lesson in every experience

There is no need to create hypothetical situations or virtual scenarios to teach disciples needed lessons. The true mentor knows that life itself will provide the necessary opportunities to send a message to the disciple in the most efficient manner. Therefore, a mentor only prepares a general plan of work with his disciples and modifies it based on what is currently happening in the disciple’s life. Sometimes the mentor may use problems from his own life in order to send a message across. The mentor does not see the disciple as a client, but as an extension of himself through which the will of the universe is being executed. While a paid coach will not teach everything so that the student keeps coming back for more, a true mentor gives everything he has and more, wanting his disciple to become better than he is. In doing so, the mentor and the disciple evolve together and become even better conduits of the will of the universe.

#5: A mentor may refuse disciples indirectly

While a life coach or any type of consultant or trainer takes in almost all students since they are paying clients, a mentor only takes those whom he deems ready. When a disciple is not ready, the mentor will not tell him to go away per se; instead, he would set him on a seemingly impossible yet useful task. If the disciple accomplishes it, he becomes ready to be adopted by the mentor. On the other hand, if the disciple fails or abandons the given task, he will remove himself from the mentor’s tutelage and then either abandon the idea of finding a mentor altogether or goes looking for another mentor.

#6: A mentor finds and creates opportunities for his disciples

When a mentor accepts his disciple, he will employ all his network for the success, benefit and betterment of his disciple. While a coach simply points the direction, the mentor takes his disciple by the hand and provides him with the best opportunities at his disposal in order to make him better than he ever was.

#7: A mentor can be anyone

While coaches work on becoming famous and successful, a mentor is content with himself. He may or may not be famous, but in either case, it makes no difference when he chooses his disciples. Many mentors work from behind the scenes and are not authorities in any fields in particular; however, they all have one thing in common: practical wisdom. They may have the knowledge of various methods that can be used in different fields, but they rely more on intuition and a true connection with their disciples in order to help them perfect themselves as much as possible. Despite all their wisdom, mentors do not need to have perfect lives in the eyes of the world, yet their lives are perfect in their own eyes, for they provide ample opportunities to evolve, learn and teach. A mentor may be homeless, have trouble with his family, or be facing any other problems, yet that does not decrease his wisdom nor his power at all. In fact, it is through their utter humanity that true mentors can actually impart wisdom upon their disciples. While a coach shares his knowledge from his high horse, a real mentor does it through a genuine sharing of experience with his disciples.

Finally, anyone, from the most illiterate farmer to the most highly educated doctor, can be a true mentor provided he has practical wisdom shared through humility, can exercise empathy by being intimately connected with his disciples, and offers his counsel freely with LOVE while receiving their gratitude with similar LOVE.

“A true leader should have the power to begin, the eloquence to communicate, the patience to execute and the wisdom to evaluate. Without one, he remains a slave to he who possesses it.”

In order for a person to be a leader, he must have good command of the 4 elements in his personality. These are the following:

• fire: he needs to have a vision which is innovative along with the courage to start a project.
• Wind: he should be able to communicate and get his idea across to those around him so that they join him in his efforts.
• Water: He should have patience and dedication to get things done. Nothing (except catastrophes) happens overnight, and true success needs time to be built.
• Earth: It is no use to keep doing something if it’s not leading to results. A leader should have the wisdom to question his own judgments and paths before he discovers that they will lead nowhere.

A truly efficient leader should have all four of these skills in order to qualify as a leader; otherwise, if he is missing any one of these skills, he will have to outsource it. This means that he would need to recruit someone who has the missing skill(s) in order to have a successful project.

It is a universal principle that when two people meet with boredom, they end up talking about a third. Also, it’s usually not in a good way. Think about yourself. How many times have you ended up being more offended by a person’s behavior after having listened to another person discussing her? This is despite the fact that that same behavior hadn’t been bothering you much before.

Usually, we tend to not pay attention to small things when we are busy, but we start seeing them more and more when someone else mentions them to us. People are always eager to belong and take sides even though we may not always have all the facts straight. Psychologically, we tend to take the side of the first person to bring the problem to our attention.

But there’s a big problem with that.

Imagine that you are at a new workplace with two others: John and Alex, and you are friends with both of them. During break, John comes to you complaining about how Alex bosses people around. Previously, you hadn’t noticed that Alex does that, but after John told you, you started seeing it more and more. As time passes and John complains more and more, you become more and more annoyed by it. You also become more friendly with John and somewhat bitter with Alex. Your workplace become a hell because of Alex, and you become negative with him. He senses your negativity and becomes more bitter towards you. Eventually, you either resign or keep bothering Alex till he does.

The bigger problem would be that even if Alex were to do something good, you would still interpret it negatively almost no matter what. And this is sad.

But where did the problem start?

It started with gossip, and not only through spreading gossip but by listening to it. This is why, in your life you should take an important stance against gossip: refuse to spread it, and refuse to listen to it. Not only will this help you keep your mind clear, but it will also save you from making unnecessary enemies. However, make it a point to look for the good in people and talk about it.

There are two kinds of people…

How many times have you heard that one before?

No really!

A person’s truth shines only after he’s been through hardships. One of the most important gods in the Hindu religion is Lord Shiva who is both the god of wisdom and the god of destruction. And when we delve deeper into why these two seemingly opposing concepts are merged in one god, we discover a very important truth: without destroying the old ego, new wisdom cannot be developed. As discussed in an earlier post here, one of the most important marks of wisdom is humility. As long as a person is arrogant, he cannot be truly wise.

This brings us back to chocolate. Assuming that good people are like chocolate, when it’s placed in the sun or on fire, chocolate only becomes softer and just as tasty (hot chocolate anyone?). Good people are like that: hardships only make them wiser and better human beings. On the other hand, many people who are already bitter end up hardening and becoming even more negative after going through hardships, just like clay.

In the end, most of us will go through hardships in our lives; we don’t have a choice in that. However, we do have a choice whether we will be chocolate or whether we’ll be clay.

Before you read this, make sure to check out previous texts here.

The four elements of earth, water, wind and fire are neutral parts of existence. They are neither good nor evil, yet they can be used for either. Moreover, good and evil do not exist per se, for what actually exists are order and chaos; however, these two are neither good nor evil themselves in the human definition. Too much of one and too little of another is what can be considered evil. People often mistake order with good and chaos with evil, although these are just as neutral of the elements, for the elements are borne of them.

The Yin Yang symbol is perhaps the best illustration of the principles of order and chaos. If one overcomes the other, the other is borne again from the vanquisher. What separates between order and chaos in the Yin Yang is a curved line and not a straight one; this is to reaffirm that the only true balance between these forces is the lack thereof. Each force is always attempting to take a bit more of the other, and this is what keeps both forces active. If either of the forces becomes content, the other will devour it. Therefore, the only balance that can exist is a healthy dose of both forces.

While these two forces manifest themselves in nature through the elements, they also manifest themselves through people through their elemental personalities. Some personality combinations are more prone to one force than another; for example, a person who has high levels of fire and wind personalities is more easily influenced by chaos, while a person whith high levels of water and earth sways more towards order. People in whom these imbalances are manifested are agents of chaos and order respectively, and the higher levels of each personality they have in them, the more dangerous they are for the general balance of the world.

In order to diminish the agents of order and chaos’ effect on the general balance, angels and Allpatheists can pair up agents of order with agents of chaos and make them work together. If they work together long enough – even if they are coaxed into it – the temperaments of one will eventually rub off on another which will diminish the high levels in both through promoting the emergence of the missing elements in each. In doing so, more angels can be created.

On the other hand, if left to their own means, agents of order will band with other agents of order and the same goes for agents of chaos, and this is detrimental for the general balance. This has been seen many times thourghout history: the communist era was a collaboration between many agents of order, while the Nazi era was a collaboration between agents of chaos. Each of these eras called upon the intervention of many angels in an avatar capacity to inject the opposite of the force being abused.

In conclusion, agents of order and agents of chaos are the opposite of angels, and they need to be identified and managed by angels before causing imbalances that call upon the intervention of avatars.

It’s ironic that these people who didn’t have a job nor freelance work (I asked them if they had been busy with other projects and they responded negatively) preferred to sit at home and play with their toes than to work on a risky project that required nothing more than their knowledge, skills and time. I understand that their knowledge, skills and time cost money, but they actually also become a waste when they are not being used for anything. Think about it, when you spend money to learn something at university or through courses and you don’t use it because no one paid you to do so, the world evolves, knowledge changes and you don’t get any experience. Eventually, the knowledge you have ends up being useless because you’ve rarely used it.

When you are really free and have nothing better to do, it never hurts to take on a project for shares in it (or negotiate any type of long term deal, perks or advertising space). This helps you keep your skills honed, makes your network grow, and may even be that little risk that lands you the big money. If you don’t try, you’ll never know. After all, most great projects started with people consenting to work together for potential benefit in the future. There was never anything guaranteed when Amazon, Microsoft, Apple or Bitcoin started. In most cases, there wasn’t even a budget to start with, only the skills, the time and the dedication to do something that may or may not end up a success. However, in the long run, whether it succeeds or not, you remain the winner: if it succeeds, congratulations, you’ve just become a millionaire; if it fails, you have learned a whole lot of new skills and acquired knowledge that you couldn’t have otherwise. On the other hand, if you turned down this project and remained at home doing nothing, you will have learned a whole bunch of nothing.

In the end, humility and risk work together in business. Laughing at the people who ask for your help because they need your skills earn you nothing but bad karma, doesn’t it? However, when you are humble and generous with your knowledge and skills, you will definitely be appreciated (financially, morally, emotionally, etc…) if not by the people you helped, then by karma itself.

Schools nowadays are full of anti-bullying campaigns and trying to teach kids to be nice to one another. While this may work sometimes, it fails miserably most of the time.

But why does it fail?

To answer this question, we should first try to understand the bully. In general, a bully is usually a person who is trying to hide and/or externalize personal perceived defects (such as issues at home or learning difficulties) by intimidating those around him, through threat of violence, to become more like him and less successful.

Schools nowadays teach students to see and understand the bully in this way: as a weak person trying to express himself in the only way he knows. However, when the victims do understand this ans try to approach it in the non-violent way by somehow bringing up this weakness to the bully, they end up getting beat up even worse. In such a case, even if the bully had never intended to actually use violence, he would be even more tempted to do so because his weakness is now threatened to be uncovered.

While it is important to teach bullying victims how to understand the bully, they should also be taught how to be tough. They need to be taught how to protect themselves if the need arises, and they also need to learn how to avoid putting themselves in vulnerable situations.

However, as things are now with schools trying to avoid violence, even in self defense, all they are doing is empowering the bully who may or may not be getting punished by the “authority” and weakening the victim who is forbidden from learning how to protect himself.

This is why we should not only teach our students restraint, but also self defense. Otherwise, they will grow up to be weak and broken adults. And we are seeing more and more of this in the new generation of young adults…

The existence of angels in the world is very important, for they tackle community problems before they become world issues. However, these small world imbalances may not always be solved by the angels, or they may be too big for them. When elemental imbalances become too much to handle they evolve into catastrophic proportions of order versus chaos. In these instances, the solution is out of the angels’ hands and into the avatars’.

Avatars come in many shapes, sizes and configurations. While some religions believe that an avatar is one person who is the incarnation of a god, Allpatheism believes that an avatar isn’t always just one person. Sometimes, avatars are groups or coalitions of angels working together to restore balance to the world. Usually, only one of the angels in this group becomes famous; however, upon further studying the biography and works of this individual, it becomes clear that they wouldn’t have reached far on their own without the support of a select group of angels around them.

Most avatars that we know of such as Krishna, Rama, Buddha, Jesus, and many others never worked alone; they were always surrounded by disciples who believed in their teachings and worked for their cause. Without the support of the disciples (who are actually angels coming together), the perceived avatar wouldn’t have been able to get too far. Therefore, the avatar is actually the group and not the individual.

This would make more sense on a spiritual level since angels have higher balanced levels of energies from all four gods. Once they come together, these energies amplify beyond the sum total of each angel’s energy, and with enough of it concentrated in a single place, change happens.

No one knows when avatars come; moreover, the world as we know it now is becoming bigger on some fronts and smaller on others. Our consciousness is expanding beyond our solar system while our connection with those around us is becoming faster. Technology is reshaping our world and our very configuration, and archaic religions are becoming obsolete as they reflect the spiritual, physical and emotional needs of an age that is quickly vanishing. It is now evident that the next avatar will have a wider reach and a faster connection with people. With today’s technology, the avatar group of angels will be bigger and more powerful than ever before, and it will perform feats similar to the gods’ because of the concentration and the amplification of the energies of all these angels.

The advent of the avatar is preceeded by many signs; however, the most important one of all is general unrest in the world. With agents of order and agents of chaos having reached high places in the world, the pendulum is quickly swinging between extreme order and extreme chaos every day. The angels are doing everything they can to restabilise the world, but it’s becoming more and more difficult. Eventually, they will come together as the next avatar.
