There is an exclamation which some of my friends and I find ourselves repeating these days, referring to videos being made: "Can it really get that obvious!". This one is no exception.
I realize many people are afraid of this so-called "Next Level" which is suggested for the Human Being (while still masked as fantasy or science fiction, or as something external/affected by external forces). I also realize that it is their decision, what they consider best for them. But from my perspective, we have set this fear in place, in order to have certain experiences. It is therefore up to us when we decide to remember, and a matter of letting go (I love it when the choir sings that!). Although I had been constantly experimenting with the feelings depicted here at 2:45, 2:55 and onwards, creating that energy bubble (my personal Stargate), I'd never understood what we were supposed to let go of - it always felt like something being taken away from us. But now that I understand we are the ones who create our own experiences, I finally agree to discard my own sadness and frustration: 'TRANSFORMERS'... :)



I offer a couple of pictures to compare with the video - as well as a nod to Gnostic information which describes the 'Machines' affecting our ability to see clearly. These 'virtual', unreal, aspects of ourselves are said to have been created when the Galactic Current first attempted to reach out into the outer darkness, but was unsure of herself. When her energy impacted these regions, she accidentally created these 'ghosts' or 'errors'. We have incorporated these into our psyche. Mankind represents the gradual realization of her true dream, however. The Galactic Current is the Electromagnetic 'Flow' which we are sometimes told to 'go with'.
I have to mention that the film Matrix (more so, its origination in the Hindu/Buddhist beliefs of the world as Maya, illusion), which at the time caused a very high level of unease in me (thought pattern: "Then everything is c**p!"), has now been fully transformed into enlightenment for me. It is no longer about everything being c**p. It is about us being amazing. But not just as the specifically human characters from the film, who are 'at war' with the Machines - more like amazing on the whole, since the Machines are also aspects of ourselves, those components that 'don't get it'. (Many other past cultural representations have likewise received the same twist in my perception - obviously a change based on my own alchemical process).


The Seven Houses binding the Duat

Note:
Many are trying to determine with accuracy which group 'owns' this information - which is useless, as it only dramatizes the mind into perceiving roles as ultimate. By perceiving roles as ultimate, one loses one's ability to perceive oneself as Multidimensional (hence 'free'). Whichever connection each group may have to the Divine, it is their own subjective interpretation, just as this is true for everyone else. This type of partial interpretation (as bound to manifested goals within the Game that we create) has no influence on the way anyone else can be personally involved with the Divine. But while it is easy for some to make it appear that they are revealing the true nature of reality to you (a role I have played on both sides), it is worthwhile to remember that this creates addiction to that so-called 'illumination'. In truth, YOU are the only Being who is revealing your true nature to yourself.

It is also worthwile to remember that, while we may get temporarily blinded by existence itself (i.e: more videos, more words, more news, to which we attach a linear 'separate' meaning as we rely on the individual 'energy snacks'), we on this Planet are actively involved in a process of Self-realization as we speak. In other words, all these activities are 'actually happening' to us, in terms of Consciousness.

Aerosmith "Angel" - the Guardian & the Mote (Mate)

"And the ray was the Guardian Angel of the mote: not a thing interposed between God and the creature, but God's very attention itself, personalized."~~JRR Tolkien I remember many years ago, the question was, "What's an aerosmith?!". I thought that was funny. True, what is an aerosmith! There were suggestions of a kite. Nowadays, I think I have finally figured it out. And yes, it's a kite - but a very unusual one. (As a point of interest, in my native language "kite" is the same word as a "daimon" or someone who pushes you to better yourself, the happiness in transcending your limits).

Hehe, very clever to put a human-scale Aerosmith (imagine how many pictures were taken there, of people standing in an ancient stargate, the vehicle of the Angels). If we go by the Winged Disc symbol, or the Nibiru, or Fravahar, it is also funny that Steven Tyler has a daughter who played an Elf. *g*

But that hadn't happened in 1988, and it is this song, Angel, written with Desmond Child, that is my all-time favourite song/performance in their repertoir (my air guitar on this wasn't half bad!). Here is why: It is definitely a meta-performance - explaining why they are in this at all, and what it is really all about. Sure, there are suggestions of all rock artists having sold their souls to the devil for money, but I wonder what would happen if we identified a little bit, with that person who's singing his brains out onstage, invoking his Angel (or perhaps she is invoking him?). Have you never experienced the feeling? The most complete, all-encompassing Love, initiated in the stomach and travelling through the entire nervous system. That Love is what powers you to stand tall and know who you are (no devil would suggest that to you). Sure, everyone has problems and issues (rock stars even more so), but this is their way of purifying - and they also do it for the whole audience. Yes, they need the devils to stage the whole thing - but that's minor compared to its real value. So, due to this Angel who is lifting the man, he's transformed in my eyes: first, he goes back to being a child, a small boy. Then, he metamorphoses into a really, REALLY attractive man - I can see what she sees in him, as it were. And that's how these concerts work. The mind is opened to the existence of one's own soulmate, and that is why it seems so confusing at first, that it doesn't matter about age or sex, or even about what is deemed handsome or ugly - it just happens whenever you mature enough to look into it (this certainly was not the case for me in 1988), and it's not about a connection between you and the man onstage, but a parallel between the audience and the Angel he is invoking/expressing, who gives the "glory" (looking on from the top of the A-shaped Axis Mundi).

By the way, have you ever seen the sheer number of ORBS at these concerts?
