"THE 2-EDGED SWORD OF BELIEF"

by Rev. Dr. CW Smith III

[COLUMN: Adept's Pillar]

Imagine that you and I sat down one day and enjoyed the morning air with a cup of freshly brewed coffee and a discussion about crooked politicians. After a few minutes, the conversation drifts into their detailed backgrounds of how they came to power. A few moments later, the talk shifts into philosophy and alternative historical facts. You appear to be well read and have a mind that is receptive to new information.

I take things to the next level. Usually after my first cup of coffee I am warmed up and ready get into a deep discussion. I proceed to talk about some of the seemingly impossible feats human beings are really capable of, such as flying across the world at the speed of a jet, much like Neo or Superman. You almost spill your coffee at my ridiculous notion.

Almost everyone does because in their narrow, dumbed down minds they are conditioned to believe that this feat is ludicrous and best left for the shallow, self-styled demigods in Hollywood. Such is the tragic story of most of humanity.

However, you are aware of my reputation and rather enjoyed the idea of being able to do something so free and fantastic. I proceed to tell you that this is infact a very normal ability all humans possess. By stimulating your energy body on a regular basis in combination with deep relaxation, trance meditation and refined focusing skills one is able to actually shift their consciousness out of their physical body and perform feats that defy even Hollywood.

It is the power of belief that is responsible for severing mankind from its true glory. Beliefs can work in a positive manner because they are a source of energy, but sadly, the human race has allowed itself to be enslaved by artificial systems of belief that allow a little more than total slavery. A man once sat with me and said he would teach me truth about God. I said " no thanks, but if you want, I can teach you how to fly."
