In Light of the Most High

These days it is difficult to know what to believe. The evil rulers of this world will do anything to keep their narratives going. Consequently, all kinds of psychological operations are being used to keep us confused and frightened. Our controllers hope to capitalize on the chaos in our minds; they want to steer humanity down a path towards self-destruction. These creatures pulling the strings can't help themselves. After all, psychopaths are predatory.

Nevertheless, so much is being revealed by honest open-minded researchers who are looking into what the evidence is actually telling us.  And, more and more people are realizing what we have been led to believe about our human predicament is blatantly false. We will need to update our basic assumptions and knowledge about our history, science, geography, religion and so much more.  And, that means we are in for a paradigm shift. 

A true paradigm shift is more than an insight with staying power; this kind of shift works to transform and fine tune Homo sapiens' conscious awareness for a more accurate perception of physical reality. But these days we even have to question the existence of a physical reality. Advances in science point to the fact that the material world is not made up of grit but is a reflection of the underlying metaphysical dimension from which it has been generated. 

I can attest to this because of what I observed on February 14th, 1997 during an out of body experience that culminated in a mystical union. The material realm around me seemed to disintegrate into a sea of particles and then into a misty ether. I passed through some kind of threshold that delineates the "material" world and separates it from the metaphysical. At the time, Plato's view of how The One manifests the many immediately came to mind. I could see he was on to something with his notion of forms in the material realm reflecting archetypes in the Universal Mind. 

My spiritual awakening convinced me that I exist in this misty ether and the ether exits in me. Somehow the Almighty is converting an all-pervasive ether into particles that personify an ongoing material world. And, I was shocked to find in the Gospel of Thomas a Jesus who knew this:  "From the light that we have come- from the place where light, of its own accord alone, came into existence and stood at rest". I am convinced Jesus saw the ethereal light I saw during that mystical union. And, he came to the same conclusion:  "the kingdom is inside of you and outside of you". And, according to Jesus that makes you and I "children of the living father".  

More of us are clueing into what mystics have been saying for millennia: the material world is not made up of the matter we thought. Our reality truly has no mass; so any incoming paradigm must incorporate this fact. It is likely then that mysticism will be a big part of humanity's destiny.  

As with everything these days, the real definition of mysticism has been distorted and twisted. And, there seems to be a concerted effort to associate mysticism with the occult and activities of secret societies. What's the deal with that? Mysticism, according to Richard H. Jones in his book the Philosophy of Mysticism, is the inner quest to empty the mind of conceptualizations in order to become directly aware of reality. 

The objective is to step outside one's own subjective frame of reference. By freeing experience from self-centered interests, we get to enhance our awareness. With ego no longer driving perception, we can tune into the transcendent reality of beingness behind the appearance of the phenomenal world. Mystics have accomplished this in varying degrees. And, some have become intimately acquainted with this ultimate Creator immanent in all. "Rather it is the Father living in me, who is doing his work." declared Jesus. (John 14:10)  

To account for this illusionary nature of our material world, it has been proposed that we exist in a simulation.  Simulation, as defined by Dictionary.com, is a representation of the behavior or characteristics of one system through the use of another system. Is this not what is happening? The Almighty behind the curtain is the Eternal system and its expression results in another system, the emergent universe of which we are a part. 

It is as if a Divine Playwright has us as characters on a stage, playing out scripts already written in the stars. It looks like Jesus thought so. In John 4:26 we see a Jesus who claims to be the Messiah prophesied about. In Matthew 13:14 Christ views himself as materializing to fulfill specific predictions made by the prophet Isaiah. In John 9:1-4 when he encounters a blind man to be healed, Jesus frames the healing session in terms of fate: "But it happened so that the works of God might be displayed in him. I must do the works of Him who sent Me while it is day ".

As to the objective of the simulation we find ourselves in, The Lord's Prayer offers up a hint.  "...Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. ..." prayed Jesus. The Almighty is to be recognized as the foundation of all creation of which we are a part. The goal is to become an instrument for the Creator. By aligning one's own will with the will of God, the "Father" living in us can also do His work through us. 

The problem is the simulation has been hijacked. Some think the culprit is what the Gnostics call archons. And, some like to think it is the work of the devil. But what I see is  evil controllers of this world acting in their psychopathic ways. They prefer we not become acquainted with the Creator Almighty residing within our own being. This evolutionary leap in human consciousness would result in their demise. So, they work to keep our species traumatized and hustling to survive; they want us to remain focused on the "material world".  And, you can bet they even try to use this idea of an illusory phenomenal world to their advantage.

What better way to promote apathy in the masses than to have them believe the world is merely an illusion or dream. Is this the reason I am now seeing videos come up in my feed with titles like "the universe doesn't exist" and "your brain doesn't exist"?  The phenomenal world may not be made up of the solid grit we thought. However, we are reminded in Jone's book on mysticism that there is still something we have to account for. 

As this dated world-view of materiality passes away, our need to function does not. It is not enough to recognize that you are spirit inhabiting a material realm that is basically a mirage. For now, I will stick with Rene Descartes' take : "I think. Therefore, I am". This approach does not encourage confusion and chaotic thinking. Instead it begs the question "how am I to be then?"

Having been created by the Almighty, you are one of His creations. In other words, you are a creature in this simulation.  Again in the Book of Thomas the Contender, we see a Jesus who knows this. "For the body is a domestic animal." he declared.  He also provided us with a hint as to how we should be: "Therefore, you must go about perfecting yourself" instructed Jesus. 

Self-improvement is the way to experience a psychological liberation; one that begins our ascent from the animal to a spiritual mode of existence. And, for those humble enough to work on self-actualization, like Jesus they too can encounter within, the Light of the Most High God.

Faithfully yours,

Beating Down Babylon

An audio-visual presentation of this post can be viewed on You tube, Bitchute and Rumble 

It was only when the taxi driver dropped me off at the base of the mountain did I realize what I had agreed to. If I was to fulfill my mission I would have to ascend a steep mountain. So, determined to reach the School of Vision Rasta Camp nestled high in Jamaica's Blue Mountain that is just what I did, huffing and puffing all the way up.

I stayed there at the guesthouse for a week. That gave me enough time to interact with community members and to attend their Saturday worship service. I also had a short reasoning session with Dermod Faegan. He is the visionary, who 25 years ago, claimed squatters' rights on territory in the Blue Mountain. Since then, he along with others have transformed this rugged land into a habitable village for Rastafarians.

Upon entry into the village, it is apparent that the Rasta Camp is more than mere housing for those willing to climb mountains. Depictions of Ethiopia's Emperor Haile Selassie along with selected scenes from the bible decorate the buildings. And a pedestal-like monument showcasing a picture of the Emperor is strategically situated for all to see. These Rastas are devoted to Haile Selassie. And as I pointed out in an earlier blogpost (and accompanying video) entitled "Natty Dread Rise Again" they are justified in their adoration of this Emperor.

During my visit to Jamaica in 2015 I presented to a group of Rastafarians in Kingston. Since, I have received even deeper insight into the Rastafarian cause. So, I felt compelled to return with the hope of passing on my more recent "Rasta apologetics" to as many Rastafarian elders as possible. But I never thought that mountain climbing would be part of the deal. 

I discovered information that linked the bloodlines of the European royalty to Nephilim. And that explained a lot. Nephilim are a product of the mating between some kind of non- human species and Homo sapiens. The bible portrays them as violent and predatory just like we see with the European royalty.  The kings and queens of Europe were on one conquest after another looking to grab other peoples’ land and resources. The partitioning and the looting of Africa is the perfect demonstration of how this predator class has operated.

Put simply, the rulers of this realm have inflicted great trauma on most of the aboriginal populations of the Earth. In the name of colonization, these so-called elites have been brutally acting out their predatory nature. And this is the world scene in which Haile Selassie was installed to become the emperor of Ethiopia. When I say installed, I am not referring to the political interference of a 3-letter agency. No, I am talking about the movement of the Almighty through a human as a corrective measure.

Selassie was unlike the royalty of his era. His bloodline could be traced to the house of David. He was not descendent of Nephilim. And his actions proved it. He was not interested in looting Africa like the monarchs of Europe. He was a true human king who wanted the best for his people. In fact, he wanted the best for all of humankind.

By the time Selassie had arrived on the world stage Africans had been through a lot. Economic exploitation and events engineered to traumatize folks into submission were all done in the name of colonization. Religious missionaries even got in on the act. Every region of the African continent, except Ethiopia, had been taken over by the Europeans. And these psychopathic rulers were hell bent on snuffing out Africa’s ancient ways. 

But Emperor Selassie was having none of it for his country. Selassie had arrived at just the right time to ward off the take-over of Ethiopia by these forces of evil coming out of Europe. He fought off the invasion of Italians and defended his people as best he could.

Not only was Selassie a defender of his ancient kingdom; he was a custodian of his faith too. His ancient brand of Christianity positioned him to become a beacon of light and truth for the traumatized and downtrodden. This human king offered practical advice and spiritual guidance meant to uplift and empower.

Meanwhile far from Africa in the Jamaican diaspora, talk of repatriation and Pan-Africanism was in the air. Marcus Garvey was a prominent voice in Jamaica, and he went about championing for the dignity and rights of black people everywhere. He wanted them to have their political and economic independence. And he saw in Selassie a major African head of state on the world stage who could help bring that about.

One of Garvey’s followers took this interest in Selassie even further. Leonard Howell, like Garvey, was concerned with socio-political conditions for blacks; and he wanted to see the end of colonialism. However, Howell added a spiritual dimension to the cause with his declaration about the Emperor’s divinity.

Howell knew the Almighty Creator as a living God operating in the world. For Howell, Selassie was like Jesus in that he embodied the Christ, that active aspect of God working in and through a human to impact our species’ history. Jesus was about the salvation of humankind and Selassie was too. And both knew that a leap in human consciousness is the way to true redemption for our species. But the Emperor’s role in that salvation involved campaigning for the birthrights of the black race. Finally, there arose on the world stage someone to advocate for blacks.

Unfortunately, Emperor Selassie could not wave a magic wand to bring about instant justice and harmony for the black race like some had fantasied. Nevertheless, he delivered a powerful message of hope to blacks everywhere which reinforced the Rastafarian movement in Jamaica.

For those early pioneers of Rasta, black empowerment was not just about equal rights and justice gained through the courts. A sense of dignity based on self-mastery had to be affirmed by each individual. Colonizers had convinced many to believe in the black race’s inferiority. And the programmed captives needed to eradicate this negative self-concept through a process of self-development. What started out as opposition to soul-crushing colonialism morphed into a spiritual revival like no other. For some, this emphasis on self-mastery led to the acquisition of unity consciousness. And that is why the reference to one’s own self as “I-n-I”.

Through music Rastafarians have been able to amplify Emperor Selassie’s wise advice for obtaining “black man redemption”. But, the impact that Rastafarians like Bob Marley, Peter Tosh and so many others have had on the collective is indisputable. They called out the oppressive power structures promoting inequity and exploitation. Rather than blame a nebulous power called Satan, they named the perpetrators of evil in this realm, with the royalty of Europe along with the Vatican being a major component.

God really does work in mysterious ways. In the final analysis the rise of Haile Selassie birthed a politico-spiritual movement. Rastafarians have had a huge impact on the consciousness of humankind because of their devotion to Emperor Selassie. However, another blessing came about through this Emperor. He prevented the takeover of Ethiopia and protected his ancient brand of Christianity.

Ethiopia has played a major role in preserving the Book of Enoch. This scripture had been excluded from Christian biblical canon since the 5^th century and was considered lost until late in the 18th century when a complete copy was discovered in Ethiopia. The book is part of the canon used today by the Christian Ethiopian Orthodox Church and is of great interest to humanity. It is helping to clarify what the ancients knew about the parasitic class who have been ruling over our species for at least 6,000 years. Who knows what would have happened to that information if the Vatican through the Italian invasion had got a hold in that kingdom.

Today more and more African states are working to shake off the yoke of imperialism. They want to be free of the parasitical psychopaths who exploit them. Although Muammar Gaddafi was prevented from delivering Libya from the clutches of these evil ones, Niger has made the bold move to get France out of their country. Geopolitics is shifting and Africans have the opportunity to ally with anti-imperialist forces like BRICS.

Those early pioneers of the Rasta movement believed that Emperor Selassie’s coronation marked the beginning of a new world dispensation. They expected the dismantling of old-world power structures and the ascendency of the black race to be the next installment of the human story. Isn’t the recent geopolitical shift a sign this new configuration is in the works now?

No doubt freedom from the evil rulers of this world is going to require our tenacity and self-mastery. And an evolution of human consciousness is what is needed. As Haile Selassie aptly noted, “We must become members of a new race”. We must become bigger than we have been: more courageous, greater in spirit, larger in outlook.”  And from my perspective, sometimes even a little mountain climbing is called for.

Faithfully yours,

Sheila Banks

The Great Hijacking No More

An audio-visual interpretation of this blogpost can be found on You tube, Bit chute or Rumble.

All kinds of claims have been made about Jesus since he walked the Earth 2000 years ago. And there certainly has been a lot of implausible attached to his name. Early on, the pagan myths of a virgin birth and of the resurrection of a dead man-god became firmly associated with his message. This meant that for many, allegiance to Jesus required a belief in a virgin birth and the resuscitation of a corpse. 

Today the voodoo and mind-boggling associated with Jesus has a different flavor. We are told Jesus was an alien from another solar system; or he was a Buddhist master with occult powers. And, no word of a lie I saw a video entitled “Jesus Christ Used Children As Drugs” featuring Ammon Hillman. I must say that one took my breath away.   

If only the real message of Jesus, The Christ had been disseminated and understood by all humans in earlier times. Clearly, he was putting out ideas that rattled the leaders of his day, so they had him killed. They were hoping that his powerful ideas would be lost in the sands of time. Just as in our current era, brilliant thinkers like Tesla have been squelched at every turn or outright murdered.  

History demonstrates that the powers that be not only want to dictate what can be created but they want to control how we think. So, when elimination of the actual Jesus didn't work, then came along the distortion of Christ’s teachings. But the real deal is he knew about the psychopaths among us. 

He knew about their predatory nature and the threat it posed to humanity. The proof is in the Book of Thomas the Contender. Jesus is quoted as saying “Truly, do not consider those people to be human beings; rather, count them as domestic animals for just as animals devour one another, so also human beings of this kind devour one another.”   

Thomas’ take on Jesus was hidden in the Egyptian desert until 1945. And soon after its discovery so-called experts came out of the woodwork to denounce its legitimacy. This is likely because the evil rulers of this realm do not want us to fully comprehend the predicament in which we find ourselves. They prefer we did not know we exist in the material world as primates and that just like every other animal, we have an enemy. And that enemy happens to be them. 

Just by looking at the New Testament one would never suspect that Christ’s mission had anything to do with parasitical psychopaths. The bible’s focus on Satan, the devil and human wickedness has us confused about the fundamental source of the evil that plagues our species and leads the weak-willed astray. However, that may have been by design. We now know “the Church” that compiled the books of the bible was set up to promote a particular narrative to keep the masses enslaved to a “Babylonian” power structure. 

Certainly, the New Testament has been a good source for suggestions on how to live nobly in our human predicament. And the last volume in the bible, called Revelation, aims to alert humanity to the natural consequences of leaving unchecked a parasitical infection in human societies. But with the unearthing of ancient manuscripts like the Book of Thomas, we have even deeper insights.

In the bible we meet a Jesus who summons us to the “kingdom within”. And in the Book of Thomas we get a clearer picture as to the why. “For the body is a domestic animal. Therefore, you must go about perfecting yourself.” quotes Thomas.  

We must recognize our conditioned responses and subdue our bestial nature if we are to address the conditions imposed by human interdependency. By learning to downplay our egocentric viewpoint we can behave in a more principled fashion. And by addressing the demands of our interconnectedness in this manner, we get to activate our capacity for conscience. The very trait that humankind must unite around to successfully address the problem of our psychopathic rulers. 

Do not think that the cabal of psychopaths running the world haven't capitalized on the lack of conscience in our species. This is how we end up with one group of human primates believing in a mission to annihilate another group of their own kind. We now know how the evil ones use psychological operations designed to distort our knowledge base, provoke emotional responses and shape our worldview. 

The evil rulers of this world will do anything to halt the evolution of Homo sapiens sapiens. They prefer that we sit around and wait for the second coming of Jesus. Fortunately, there are more and more of us who have concluded the second coming has nothing to do with the resuscitation of a dead man-god.  No, this phenomenon has everything to do with Jesus’ brilliant plan for the salvation of the human species. Now for Christ’s sake let’s all humble ourselves to get on board.  

Faithfully yours, 

Sheila Banks
