A European American Transcends the Dream

VISIONARY ART

A European American Transcends the Dream and Reaches out to the World

     Awakening to reality, the first thing one must do is take responsibility for what one finds there. History, its crimes and triumphs must be understood in a singular gesture that led us to this point – NOW. All that has been unacknowledged shall be acknowledged, then the anger/fear can be released, and in time a new kind of peace can descend across the land.

     A few brave souls have taken it up as their personal mission to oppose lies and hammer the truth home whenever possible. The strength necessary to enter into a battle of Sorcery with our current Dark Lords is almost unbelievable to those who prefer to let the television do the thinking for them. We must swim back to our roots and allow our ancestor’s victories and crimes air out in the light of day.

     Being of German, French, Scottish, and Hungarian descent, and having studied Western Art Culture for 9 years at major American universities, I had collected much in the way of European heritage. When Zen entered my life and set me free from myself, I suddenly had a unique ability to synthesize historical trends and apply this understanding to humanity’s evolution. After all, a few thousand years amidst a backdrop of eternity is almost no time at all.

     After my soul fully entered the body and outside life painstakingly adjusted to the inner, I began to assess what was happening and what the call of my heart was imploring me to do. Playing with concepts such as Savior, Spirit Warrior, and Guru, I definitely felt compelled to bring some kind of message to the world. Settling into a more relaxed state I realized I can only do what one man can do and that is be fully himself and share freely with others regardless of the response.

     As years passed and I continued to grow, the response I received from some people seemed to actually get worse. Although I was free, flowing, building friendships on an unprecedented scale, and expressing myself in brilliant new ways, something was amiss with those around me. I had faith that God’s Call was real and I continued on with Courage, knowing that this path I must walk alone.

     Eventually I realized that the problem was Truth itself! Now that I refused to compromise my inner vision, refused to disrespect women, refused to lie, and attempted to communicate wholly and follow things through, I was becoming too inconvenient for the vacant body shells that simply wanted to follow their pre-programmed routines. The more I tried to share Love, the more they reeled back in horror. This is for a single reason that has caused much damage to the peoples of the world and their potential for relationship – DENIAL.

     Once Denial has begun, justification and 101 rationalizations for why it was “necessary” are soon to follow. Over time faulty reasoning becomes the norm and every day that goes by, the truth becomes harder to face. If freedom ever comes for the individual, it is only after they have examined their own lives and faced the karma of their actions. In a like manner also, universal human friendship can only be approached when history’s denials have been faced, accepted, and healed. Having transcended the body and mind of a European American, and being the true heir to Western Culture, on behalf of our Historic Geniuses and to fulfill the promise of the Enlightenment with the key missing piece having been added by our self-sacrificing friends from India, I express thoroughly as an offering of gratitude.

     Though our roots do indeed come from Atlantis, I will take up the story from Greece and touch upon sensitive issues as they arise. Early on, we were mostly isolated from the rest of the world. The basic model of Body-Mind-Spirit was inspired from on high as a way for our people to maintain a balanced reflection of God on Earth. Though we expressed His manifestations in a lesser hierarchy of divinity, we knew these gods were aspects of a greater principle that governed all things. Yet to encounter real hardship, we squabbled amongst ourselves and eventually took to colonizing other areas.

     Eventually, the Greeks blurred into Romans, and the Classical Ideal became more militant and politicized. The land mass occupied by our disparate and clashing peoples was much more far-reaching than ever before and it was decided that order must be imposed upon those who did not go along with the status quo of the governing apparatus. It was here that the concept of Superiority became ingrained in the mind of the European. Power was exerted on a much larger scale than ever before.

     With the inclusion of the Christ Mythos, older spiritual ideas were revolutionized and a new quality emerged. The Western Mind became exposed for the first time to mystical ideas of the East introduced by Jesus the Essene who had become familiar with the teachings of Buddha who had come 500 years before. For 100’s of years onward the art of our peoples was influenced by this spark of the divine.

     Unfortunately the messenger was seized upon and the essential message became buried. Somehow Jesus became the Justification for Crimes against Humanity. This had nothing to do with Jesus and everything to do with the simple mind’s misunderstanding of the true nature of his teaching. Mistakenly thinking that the Kingdom of Heaven was something they had to superimpose upon the world, the leaders of Western Culture made a fatal mistake that they have yet to realize. Jesus clearly said the Kingdom of Heaven was at hand – HERE/NOW. He didn’t say, you few people galvanize a dogma and force it onto everybody else in my name. For those who need it, I remind them, “The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!” It is already here, everywhere. We just need an awakened heart to give us eyes to see.

     At the beginning of modern history in the Medieval Period, the Popes actually fought their own “War on Terror” called the crusades. Their Justifications were equally as dubious as W’s. The men on the ground truly believed they were doing the work of God, and their Zealotry and feelings of brotherhood amongst common enemies reinforced this mentality. The Western Man’s chivalry and knightly code of honor was an as-yet-unfulfilled complete realization that to be God’s Warrior does take Will and personal responsibility, but it does not need slaughter.

     Somehow, a very guarded music had found its way back into the everyday life of the people. Chants, poetry, and the occasional song or secular improvisation started calling people out of pure survival mode and back into living expression. Love amongst themselves had to be established before Love with other peoples was possible.

    With the Renaissance we see the first true flowering of the Western people since the early Greek model and peaks within the Roman Empire. Exploring the Soul from within, music, science, and art flourished, becoming the leading influence in society. Both Political Power and the Church’s Watchful Eye receded and a relatively peaceful and prosperous era was in some areas briefly enabled.

     Luther’s Revolution once again started the bloodshed of Western Man against Western Man. Seeking to establish a God-centered Theology, rather than a Pope-Centered Empire, Martin was every bit the defiant and willful German. This would lead to many more wars on continental Europe that went on simultaneously with transcendent works of expression by the residents therein. Both Protestant and Catholic exalted their limited vision of God.

     As Nation-States became more clearly defined in their separate autonomy, so too did their yen for exploitation. The unaccountable entity of the corporation began sending forth conquerors under the flags of the aristocracy. The goal was to plunder wealth, and so begins the Westerner’s true fall from grace, as their reasoning henceforth was flawed with the concepts of limitless profit and slavery.

      Their “belief” in the same Almighty God, that many young-minded Americans believe in today, allowed them to sail over the ocean blue and commit unspeakable atrocities that have yet to be faced even partially. Arriving on the North American continent, the Europeans were received by Native Americans who reached out a tenuous hand of friendship. At best you could say that the westerners accepted help until they established themselves more solidly on the land, and as soon as they were no longer bound by necessity, they became the savages.

     As a Universal Human who sees the past of the European people from which he is descended, and is not bound up by Denial of a truth that is too hard to grasp with the mind, I acknowledge this disastrous chain-of-events and reach out in repentance with an integrity which will hopefully earn trust in time. The Biological Weaponization of Smallpox, the blood of Indian Warriors, and the broken agreements over hundreds of years are a humiliating dishonor that begs to be recognized. I and many of my people are sorry, and offer at last, the true hand of friendship. Some land should be restored (new partnerships in Montana, Utah, and Idaho are possibilities) and your reinvigorated culture respectfully assimilated into our collective whole. We cannot undo the past but we can resurrect ourselves and walk together towards our future in the cosmos. As for what the Spaniards did to South America’s mystical natives, one can only weep.

     We can look at the subsequent behavior of the North American settlers and in isolation think that their witch trials are insane, but these same perverse manias still lurk in the recesses of the Western Mind. Puritanical self-torture is simply Denial rising to the surface to punish those who would ignore the truth of their own Soul. This is “The Western Sickness” that is rampant in America to this day.

     Feeling called by God to rule over other people, also enabled the early Americans to engage in another barbarous practice which became known as slavery. Shipping people from Africa as property, and considering these same merely beasts of burden, the European once again established a practice which would crucify itself in the end. There are no reparations that can make this right as the time has come and gone. What can be offered is acknowledgement and remorse. Hopefully this can enable forgiveness and healing. Then together we can move on to solving America’s inner city problems, and reinvigorate African capitals to the benefit of all involved.

     Around the time of the American Revolution, when once again Westerners turned upon one another, there was a brilliant concept being born in Europe. This Enlightenment was to give birth to the ideas of Liberty and Freedom that became the cornerstone of the American experiment. Coming back to the Greek model, humans once again began asking the right questions and pondering lasting solutions to our ongoing spiritual crisis. The seed of salvation was planted.

     Ever since, both Europe and America, have been distracted with war after war. Sometimes fighting amongst themselves, sometimes with each other, and sometimes against a perceived foreign threat, there has not yet been an opportunity for the highest form of our bloodline to shine. There have been great artistic and scientific achievements by the brightest amongst us, but the groundwork for a lasting transcendence has yet to be laid, because here-to-fore, Denial makes every proclamation seem hypocritical.

     How can the nation who nuked Japan say to everyone else, don’t have nukes? It is to say the least ridiculous. Double standards forever render force the only way to maintain the illusion, and will intrinsically doom every attempt at progression. How can the nation who indiscriminately slaughtered and imprisoned Native Americans, Africans, and mercilessly led the charge of foreign wars, dictate to the rest of the world on human rights when our own transgressions have yet to be fully dealt with?

     The spiritual journey of America the Nation can be seen as analogous to the spiritual journey of the Individual. At some point, Ego has to be set aside so that things can be seen as they are without the rationalized point of reference. It is lamentable that things have to get so far out of hand before this can happen. Even today, Americans incorrectly rationalize that thousands of Iraqi’s had to die because a mysterious group with no ties to Iraq, brought down a single twin building in America.

     Denial forces others into the adversarial role of thrusting the unexpressed truth forward. This galvanizes the Denial and both sides become entrenched. The longer things go on in this manner, the less hope there seems to be for a resolution. Those of us who understand this cyclic process and have grown beyond the Denial and suffering of our fore-fathers must rise together as a single unified voice for liberation from the darkness of ignorance.

Life transcends all boundaries.
