It seems as though The Great White Brotherhood has the directive of directing humanity in somewhat of a balance as well, which if they are actually real and above The Black Nobility then what you say about secret societies would make sense.
Good on you for being aware of TGWB! You're quite correct. The TGWB has exponentially more power than lower earth organizations made up primarily of asleep humans, and as I'm aware, they have been gradually wielding more of it these past 10 years.
If you're familiar with these types of esoteric topics, you'll also likely know that the earth realm is a place for "karmic discharge" if you will. That's why you, me and everybody else is "here".
And "karma" is quite possibly the most misunderstood word in the world. Quite simply, it means "what goes around, comes around". Or, "what you put out, you get back". Or, "As you sow, so shall you reap", etc. The hardest part of the equation is for most to realize that this is true not only in deed and action, but also in THOUGHT. As "thoughts are indeed things". Few accept this as being true. But TGWB and all associated "woo-woo entities", as well as any mystic, saint, sage, master, yogi, swami, Rinpoche, guru, etc. will also tell you the same. They all agree across the board.
And Jesus said the same as well: "Judge not thy brother, lest ye judge thyself".
If you're able to take that in and ponder what I'm saying, then it stands to reason that we NEED some "bad guys" to enable karmic discharge. Things couldn't work any other way.
As such, while hard for the vast majority to reckon with, the "bad guys" are, in a sense, performing a needed service, enabling each of us to discharge karma.
If only more considered and contemplated these ideas, let alone accepted it, the world would be a very different place in the twinkling of an eye. But instead, we're immersed in a sea of judgment and fear "thought-forms". And the results are plainly evident.
Curious if TGWB is the same as The Brotherhood of the White Temple. They seem to point towards the same teachings.
So, if I'm understanding this correctly they are to maintain this balance of negative and positive? Which without the negative their wouldn't be growth in the positive?
Curious if TGWB is the same as The Brotherhood of the White Temple.
I've never heard of that organization. Could be.
So, if I'm understanding this correctly they are to maintain this balance of negative and positive?
Yes, that's how this realm we call "earth" is designed to operate. It's a "temporary false reality". We are here because we keep holding onto judgment. We are each individually choosing to eat the fruit from the "tree of knowledge of good and evil", which is choosing JUDGMENT - that's what "knowledge of good and evil" is.. The story of Adam and Eve is a metaphor for the human condition and the "free will" we were granted. It's always our individual choice.
Which without the negative their wouldn't be growth in the positive?
I'm not sure what you mean by "growth". Opposites require one another to exist. If there was no "up", then "down" wouldn't make any sense. If there was no "black", then "white" would make no sense. If there was no "dark", then "light" would make no sense, etc. Right? So if there was no "bad/evil", then it wouldn't make any sense to describe something as "good". Everything would just "be" as it is. We would naturally presume that everything would be "good" in comparison to what we're familiar with now. But in such a reality, there would be no distinctions possible. You would say "this is good", but it would make no sense because there would be nothing to compare it to.
As you can rightly suss this out, when you describe something as "good", you are invoking JUDGMENT, which means you're choosing to eat from the tree of knowledge of good and evil. As such, there must be its OPPOSITE available for you to be aware of.
So as long as humans continue to choose to eat the fruit, there must be the appearance of opposites available to them.
Also, how does one "discharge karma"?
Accepting all that comes your way, what you would consider the "good" and the "bad", without adding an energetic charge to said events, such as anger/fear/worry/frustration/annoyance/etc. In short, "allowing everything to be as it is" in your life.
This is described in scripture as "Becoming a witness for God" or simply "witnessing". In other spiritual and metaphysical traditions they would describe this as "neutral observation" or "being present" or "residing within the heart space", etc. There are many ways to convey this concept.
The word "repent", or "metanoia" in Greek, correctly translates to; "Having a radical change of mind". Where the word "Mind" goes well beyond what we've been presently brainwashed into believing today. Today, the mind is virtually synonymous with the brain, which is a massively incorrect interpretation, as the "brain" is really nothing more than a "receiver" of thought. In ancient times, the mind encompassed both the heart and mind in balance and coherence. A state of being very few humans today are operating within. We've all been heavily brainwashed to maintain our attention on the monkey-mind thought-stream 24x7x365.
What "repentance" really meant in ancient times was to shift out of the mind and back to the heart. Or, said another way, from the non-existent "past/future" back into the present now moment. The heart operates in the "here and now", the brain/thoughts are lost in illusory events of the past and future. And this is why you'll find many metaphysical teachers whose primary teaching platform is to continue to bring oneself back into the "present moment", where "all your power truly lies".
The word "sin" meant in ancient times "to miss the mark". Where "the mark" was literally to "be present". Thus, by one "missing the mark", one slips into the ramblings of the monkey-mind, which lead to an incorrect assessment of reality, which then leads one into sloth, pride, envy, lust, gluttony, wrath, greed - the "seven deadly sins". "Forgive him father, for he knows not what he does".
So if you want to discharge your karma, you stop reacting to life's events and situations from the deluded mind and accept what comes your way, the good, the bad and the ugly if need be, reconciling all energy that you've issued out in the past. All of it is a result of what you at one point "sent out", which must return back to its issuer.
Taking this one step further, should you choose to consider what I'm saying, if you wish to not generate future karmic payback, become aware of the "negative energy" you put out going forward - hatred, anger, fear, vengeance, jealousy, etc.
The simple path forward is shifting your awareness from the monkey-mind thought-stream, to the heart-space. Simple, but not easy for most of us. As the monkey-mind will diligently fight for your most valuable attention for a considerable time. It takes discipline and vigilance. The majority are still not up to the task.
Returning your awareness to the heart-space is precisely what "witnessing" or "being present" actually is. Effectively "letting go and letting God".
Sounds scary to most. Like you'll "lose control". That's the monkey-mind telling you so. It will indeed "lose control". But that's a massive "net gain" for you. As the ego/monkey-mind was designed to be your assistant in this realm, not "the boss", which it is now for the vast majority. It's not about "getting rid of the ego", as many wrongly think many metaphysical traditions are teaching. It's about allowing the larger, wiser, greater part of you to regain control of your life.
And the only real way to pull this all off is indeed this shift in attention back to the heart. All efforts of the ego-mind to logically and rationally think its way to a detailed and elaborate plan to pull this off are in vain.
Nobody can convince you that this is true. And even if you choose to BELIEVE what I'm saying, at best, you'll just add this to your "belief filing cabinet" of concepts housed by the ego mind. Nothing will change for you if this is the case. The shift of attention must be incorporated into your life. Nothing less will do.
As I said, simple but not easy.
Your results will speak for themselves. Eventually, you will come to know "that peace that passeth all understanding". For such a state is beyond and outside the "understanding" ego mind, aka "the matrix".
What I'm sharing here with you today is, quite literally, the ONE AND ONLY RED PILL. There's only one. And this is it.
You can disbelieve, believe or put what I share into practice. Nothing will change for you if you choose the first two options - which are nothing more than conceptual abstractions in the ego mind.
EVERYTHING will change for you should you choose the latter.
I like the way you articulated that. I completely resonate with what you are saying.
I was able to be present in most moments for a period of time in my life. Daily meditation helped a lot. Life seemed so blissful and like the universe was moving in concert with me. Truly something magical to witness, and on an almost daily basis.
Thank you for your reminder of living in the present, and the knowledge you shared surrounding it. Looks like I need to get back to being present and meditating. š
Any suggestions on how one can gain control over their individual monkey-minds? If Iām even phrasing the question correctly. Maybe replace control with the word master. š¤·āāļø
As I understand it, our souls have come to earth much like going to a library. Check out a book like Joe, or Frank, or Mary. You enter the world of Joe, etc., for the experience, and then put it back on the shelf, and reflect on how you have interacted with others. Each experience adds to the souls' growth. Much like an actor taking a position to portray a character. If done well, he might get an Oscar. Well and good if the character is the hero, but what if it is a villain. If done well, people will hate you. How does one deal with that. It needs a different prospective to think the actor did a great job portraying the character correctly and award an Oscar, NOT for the deeds, but for how well the "picture" plays out. Think of Judas Iscariot - was one of the Twelve Apostles. He is notorious for betraying Jesus by disclosing Jesus' whereabouts for 30 pieces of silver. Someone had to play the part. He will be remembered for all eternity for the deed. How would YOU deal with that. Reward: probably sitting next to the son of God, listening to the praise by all the angles. What if you were to pick the book HITLER...... etc. Could you deal with that. Just a concept for how to view the entire earth's population as we travel through time. This prospective of love can lift the vail to the Kingdom of Heaven that is all around us. Hope this helps.
Yes indeed. You share a much higher level of consciousness perspective. Very hard for the masses to accept this as a possibility.
But if it were true, well now, that would change everything, wouldn't it?
If somebody has to be the "bad guy" in order for this realm to operate as it does, a place where the majority choose to eat the fruit from the tree of "knowledge of good and evil", aka JUDGMENT, then the "bad guys" must appear on the screen and play their parts. Right?
Love is the only way out. And the requirement isn't for "everybody else" to first be "loving" towards us. It's the reverse. It starts with each one of us and we're responsible for fixing ourselves. Thus, to "judge" is the polar opposite of "loving thy neighbor as thyself".
The results of the masses choosing judgment over the Greatest Commandment are plainly obvious for all to see.
But how many would agree with me about this? More here on GA than most anywhere else online. But our numbers are still minuscule in comparison to the dominant majority which shapes the larger collective reality.
Thanks for that. That is a pretty good answer.

Thank you for your thoughts, i obviously have a lot of digging left to do .)
All I was doing is digging, but I think this thread has made my rabbit hold MUCH deeper .)
Thank you for you answers!
