What Do I Believe? What Do You Believe?

What I believe in, prior to starting this brand new adventure of self and solo discovery…

What Do I Believe? What Do You Believe?

I think, given that this journey is for me, just beginning, it makes sense to make my beliefs known before I become consciously and subconsciously influenced by any (if any?) of the research I do. I am finding this quite difficult for me to put into words, what I can only feel, writing a blog is also brand new to me. In the past, I have thought long and hard over how to write about it because I feel this is genuine and quite A unique take on everything. It will sound ridiculous to some, and I can’t even name the specific point in time where this revelation truly dawned up-onto me. My own personal belief just seems to make complete sense to me, but it is also a lonely place to be in some aspects of having such an individually soloistic idea.

It is with this personal system that I venture out to search for the answers to questions of mine that reinforce, re-awaken and develop, also while being completely open-minded about everything I encounter on the way. I might not find answers for anything at all, and I might end up dismissing what I thought I knew for an entirely new personal system of beliefs! Personally, I do go into this with hope, and I hope I can reinforce and adopt much new. So forgive me if the following of what you read doesn’t make much sense in scholarly or literal terms and reads like the ramblings of a crazy person. I won’t be diving into any of the experiences that have led up to me forming this idea, and remember this is just one uneducated opinion. And the views expressed therein from now are solely my own and are not meant for anyone else.

In life, as we know it, each living thing has its own biology, its own ecosystem. You can see and know that even within the smallest of lives you have forces for good, and forces of bad at play, even with plants. Let me explain, in your body, you have 10 times more microbial cells than your very own human cells, according to scientific literature. It is estimated, based on that figure that the human microbiome has around 100 trillion bacterial cells and approximately 10 trillion human cells. If you consider that there are approximately 7.9 billion humans in our world, the bacterial world begins to take the shape of an image that is very different. But even those are full of light and darkness.

Cells through to humans all have their functions, it isn’t, on a basic level, learned nor communicated, it is simply inherent. The way an animal behaves is its nature and does what it has built within to do. Even humans can only learn what has already been learned, which is a natural process of our function. There are, much like bacteria and cells, good humans and bad humans. We can create, we can love and give light, we can act on anger and darkness, and can create damage and hurt or destroy with war. We all know too well that people are either good, bad or in-between, but each has their role to play and performs that which comes naturally to them. It is just who they are.

With certain esoteric systems, I have thus far not been able to accept the model of the structure of everything. Take, for example, the Qabalistic tree of life. I get that there is a single point from which everything comes, that is impossible for anyone to be able to comprehend, but why are there so few layers to the said tree? I believe we need to think much bigger, and it is very possible to do it within context. If we look back at the mind-bending figures written above and expand on them. Humans are, like good and bad bacteria, within the context of the damage being done to Earth by the bad cells, like a disease. But there are good humans who are trying to fight for the light and repair our broken world, but by far the bad bacteria are winning the fight, like cancer we can’t yet cure. The bad trigger the opposite reaction, which is good, exactly at the moment it comes into creation, quantum-like. It's eternal war.

My point is that if we, for a moment take a step outwards; into space and look at that, the dark matter, the stuff which fills the void between the solid object we can see (in space), touch, and feel, the dark matter begins to look a lot like blood and liquids. With that context in mind, the planets become to be a lot like bacteria, (although bacteria are single-cell organisms unless we look at them on a quantum level) and humans are that from which bacteria is formed. Quantum levels are much of the same idea. On a quantum level, there are many more worlds we can’t understand or comprehend even.

People often ask questions, that in my point of view are the wrong ones to ask. What is the meaning of life? for example, holds little to no academic merit within the scope of my own point of view. Firstly, I think when people ask that question, they are asking it within the context of themselves, a human. But like all living things, they simply do what it is in their nature to do, subconsciously and consciously, good or bad, we react to our wants that are inherently pre-programmed into our being. So the meaning of life, in my opinion, is to simply do what comes naturally to you, just like everything else does. It is the function of your existence. The real question is, what is it that we are a part of? It is obvious to me that we are a part of a much larger creature, and that creature is part of a larger world, where there are other living beings, and inside those, there are others like us and all the living things that we know of around us.

Expand on that idea and you will come to realise that the living thing we are a part of will also be in a world of their own, within an even greater living creature, all playing the roles of their pre-programmed nature, and that within its own space, and time, and the universe. I believe that the big bang idea is ridiculous unless you view it another way. If you view it as a literal birth into being, in the exact same way, we ourselves and every living thing in our world are born into creation and grow as what we conceive as time goes forward until death. This process will be happening infinitely. Everything in our universe, forces we can see and those we can not is just a part of something bigger.

I do agree that it had to start somewhere, maybe that is the one true God, but It would be a hyper-quantum molecule of something, that really is impossible to comprehend or to ever be able to answer, rather than a being as most would like to believe. But that doesn’t mean that the hyper-molecule didn’t grow into something of being.

To sum this up, ancient Gods… could very well have visited us, they could be like medicine being introduced to our world, much like (or literally) a pill or injection is introduced to our own bodies. Much like we have good and bad bacteria and cells creating and fighting. Perhaps it would explain AUP/UFOs, aliens and “heavenly” visits and come to commune with our world, trying to fix, help and steer us back to health. But that is for another time in a future post. I hope, if you read this, that I have communicated well enough my own concepts of belief to you in a way that is easily digestible and meditated over. I will elaborate upon this idea extensively in the coming months, including the layers that which we can not see.

What do you make of this take on the theory of everything? What are your beliefs? I’m very interested to know.

Esoteric Definition Within the Context of EsotericStudent.com

The word esoteric is defined most commonly as a subject intended for or likely to be understood by only a small number of people with a specialized knowledge or interest.

Esoteric Definition

With Esoteric Student you can expect to see content covering subjects from traditional esoteric topics such as rituals, religion, science, philosophy, nature, meditations, history, astrology etc. But no doubt about it, there will be a plethora of others, like magick, UFO's, consciousness, conspiracy theories, health, the occult, music, drug use and all that is in-between.

There will be reviews of books, documentaries, Youtube channels, and other resources available... websites, Facebook groups, events, music. What exactly will be covered and when is something that I currently can't say because I am just beginning this adventure and following where-ever it may lead. So stick around and sign up to regular updates. There is also an Esoteric Student Facebook page and group which I hope can be made good use of to build a community of like-minded, free-spirited individuals who will join me in this adventure.

The Essential Golden Dawn: An Introduction to High Magick By Chic Cicero and Sandra Tabatha Cicero Book Review

In this post I will give an overview of how I came across this book and some thoughts after reading it.

Esoteric Journey

“Compelled…

to the paths in esotericism to learn the knowledge, understanding, and wisdom therein, about more than a physical world. I want real-world results of facts, history, traditions, science, zero illusions…but maybe a “li’l Magick.”
