The Sword with Two Edges
Which is:
The Conscious Part of the Human Mind
Consciously gifted…Unconciously influenced.
It comes gorgeously wrapped as a gift with a huge ribbon and, as all little children do; we rapidly tore off the wrapping, oblivious to and missing its seeming beauty, to get to the gift.
Our human parents, with their own swords dulled by inappropriate use, think the wrapping is important and decide to instill us with civility. They begin by impressing us with what they have come to believe, in their dullness, is the importance of the wrapping. It all goes downhill from there.
The conscious part of our minds is a beautiful tool, a gift, inappropriately programmed by well-meaning human parents and teachers whose minds have been, in similar fashion, programmed to use it improperly and thereby perpetuate the dullness.
The tool thusly programmed has become the father/mother, child and the essence of the father/mother of lies.
How many stories does the father of lies tell you?
Let us stop here for a moment. In a text written about 2,000 years ago to quote the teacher of a concept that has been mistranslated in most languages as (here in English), the “FATHER OF LIES,” in human terms which, after all, is our dilemma; it takes two, not just a male, but a male AND a female conjoined for the purpose of producing offspring and, in one way of imperfectly looking at it, when such conjoining is used for other purposes it, perhaps, is the reason for less than perfect offspring, but that perspective cannot be viewed properly by a dulled sword.
All the foregoing mishmash aside and, in other words, in the original language the “FATHER OF LIES” can just as easily and accurately be translated (in dualistic singularity) as “PARENTS OF LIES.”
Moving right along, is there a way out, an escape, to restore this marvelous tool to its original purpose? The simple answer is yes, BUT IT CANNOT BE ACCOMPLISHED BY USING THE GIFT IN ITS PRESENT, DULLED CONDITION. It must be restored to its original purpose and use, which is as a tool to be used in connection with and at the behest of the superior part of the other-than-conscious parts of the mind, the superconscious.
One lie can lead you in a different direction.
Not the subconscious or the unconscious parts of the mind, but the part of the mind we call SUPERCONSCIOUS. This is NOT another term for “God” by whatever other title or name, but rather for that part of the mind which can, by pure intent of the conscious part, be connected to whatever “God” in which you choose to believe; and to be purposely sardonic, may “God” help you if you are misled into choosing the “Parents of Lies” to lead and guide you.
