THE EDUCATION OF INNOCENCE

Blackshoe Crab (Chapter 19) In the next instant, Blackshoe Crab vowed to implement the strategies necessary to become the greatest Lord of Darkness that ever lived. He pulled out his father’s journal and realized his father had used simple strategies to turn sea creatures into Souls of Darkness, whose ranks increased ten-fold because of his insidious manipulations. He read his father’s outline for creating an Empire of Darkness by setting 10 precedents for triggering the conditions of hell within The Kingdom of Oceana. 1. Override Free Will. 2. Trigger Judgments and Criticisms. 3. Create Chaos and Confusion. 4. Perpetuate Worry and Anxiety. 5. Eliminate Safety and Security. 6. Instill Hopelessness and Despair. 7. Eradicate Peace with Terror. 8. Distort Reality with Misinformation. 9. Destroy All Clarity of Truth by Expressing Lies, Lies, and More Lies. 10. Eliminate Faith in the Goddess by Portraying Her as Powerless! Blackshoe Crab processed the information and started making plans for the future. He recalled one of the most important lessons ever taught to him by his father. It was during his youth when his mind was razor sharp, and he could speak with a clarity obscured only by living in Darkness. As Muckraker materialized before him, he began to remember. End of Excerpt The Void (Chapter 36) “To leap into the Void and experience annihilation, and yet, be able to return intact as a unique being of creation, is a journey marking the crowning achievement of all time,” Domaine said, standing before young Solar, waiting to secure the light of his Soul before answering his question. Only then could Domaine hope to shift young Solar from conflict to inner peace and reach him with the truth. Otherwise, he could speak to him gently or he could argue with him, but the truth would not be heard. “Young Solar, your question, “Why has The Great Mother Goddess forsaken them?” reflects a deeper conflict that has overshadowed you all your life. If you do not see beyond it, Egoson will surely use your anger and resentment toward The Great Mother Goddess as a weapon against you and destroy you. What I propose then is a journey all the way back to the Void, so you may understand the resentment you hold inside of you is but a distortion of the truth.” Young Solar’s eyes widened. “All the way back to the Void? But I have not been able to go back to the beginning of time, although I have tried more than once. Yet, you speak of going back before that? But how? I keep getting trapped within the memories of past lifetimes and have never been able to complete the journey. I had thought it impossible.” “Young Solar, you must know by now that nothing is impossible, although it is true, few can go back that far for a very good reason. Not many can endure a state of pure formlessness before existence, unrealized potential as it were, and then be able to return. That is only possible when you have a strong unity with your Soul and are absolutely connected with it, since that unity must dissolve completely when you become one with the Void. Only by reaching that distant Void, can you reach the omnipotent consciousness of The Great Mother Goddess. Then you will understand that the anger and resentment you hold toward Her is but a reflection of your ignorance, and by ignorance, I mean, all that remains unknown within you.” “But what is the Void exactly? I have heard you speak of it often, but what is it really?” “The Void is not easy to explain, but I will attempt an explanation. One may say the Void is silence . . . within nothingness . . . outside of time . . . where everything exists as pure potential . . . yet is charged with infinite energy and power! Thus, it is a place where nothing exists and everything exists at the same time!” “Oh, I see. I was afraid you would attempt to explain what cannot be explained.” “You see what I mean. Perhaps, said another way, it would be better to say the Void is where you will discover the alpha and the omega of pure consciousness.” End of Excerpt Sovereignty of Free Will (Chapter 43) “There is no more we can do for this sea creature,” Domaine concluded, after examining a sea horse taken ill. “All we can do is make him comfortable until he transitions.” “But we have seen this kind of illness before,” Sonar interjected impulsively, “and we have been able to cure it.” Sonar spoke up among the Initiates of Temple Priests and Priestesses, who were studying healing methods at The Temple of Healing under Domaine’s guidance. No one but Sonar questioned Domaine’s authority and healing methods, especially after witnessing miraculous healings performed by him that were previously thought impossible. “That is correct,” Domaine said, looking over at Sonar with loving patience. “I am well aware of what can be done. Perhaps you can tell me what is different in this case?” Sonar said nothing. He had spoken up too soon without considering the deeper reasons for Domaine’s diagnosis. Rather than coming up with shallow reasons to cover his pride, he withdrew rather than defend his ignorance. “I don’t know,” Sonar said. “I realize there must be more than is apparent to the eye.” “That is correct. The more involves looking into the inner dimensional realms of consciousness where we make contact with a sea creature’s Soul. If a sea creature’s Soul is not in alignment with healing, you will attempt all manner of healing methods to save him, but it will be for nothing. You would only be postponing the inevitable, and perhaps, even increase his suffering. It is always appropriate to scan a sea creature’s internal consciousness, make contact with his Soul, and then ask if healing is possible. If it is, then continue to do everything you can. If it is not, then do everything you can to make the sea creature comfortable, but do nothing to rescue it from its own fate.” Uneasy feelings stirred among the Initiates. This idea was new to them and ran contrary to their oath to heal all sea creatures, regardless of circumstances, or whether they served Darkness or Light. “I understand your concern and your oath,” Domaine responded, without anyone speaking up. “Allow me to give you an example of what I am saying. This sea horse lost his mate to the gangs of Egoson, when a group of his friends and his mate were surrounded and killed. He was the only one who survived because he was left for dead. By tapping into this memory, you can see this sea horse has no will to live! Because sea horses mate for life, his only desire is to surrender his life so he can be reunited with his beloved. Any attempt to heal him becomes a trespass violating the sovereignty of his free will that would only prolong his suffering. Under these circumstances, I doubt anything you do can save this sea horse from himself.” The Initiates became silent, including Sonar. I, together with other Initiates opened up our consciousness to communicate directly with the Soul of the sea horse, and it was then we felt overwhelming sadness and grief emanating from his energy fi eld. It permeated his entire being, and with greater awareness among us all, it permeated the entire room. Some Priestesses started to cry in response to the terrible tragedy that instantly came to mind when we communicated with his Soul. We then understood why this sea horse had succumbed to incurable grief that had translated into incurable illness. Without the companionship of his friends and the love of his twin flame, there was no reason to live. End of Excerpt
