On the Rapture and the Divine Self

Greetings Seekers of the Metaphysical, Psychics, Magicians, Mystics, and Searchers of Personal truth and the Divine. I welcome you to my Blog. Here I will be dicussing my own personal insights on Immanence, Psychic and Magical Devolpment, and the Soul's Divine Nature. I hope you enjoy what I write down and have your questions answered.

I would have started off with an introductory post about myself, my personal path and so on, but since Tommorrow, May 21st is supposed to be a momentous occasion, I thought that a post about it would be more appropriate. So here goes.

Instead of worrying about a Global Rapture bringing everyone into Heaven, how about a more personal "Second Coming"? The return of One's Divine Nature, the Elevation of one's Spirit, the Immanence of the Cosmos, and the Transcendence of One's inspiration.

People seem to get so worried about the end of physical reality, but allow me to be a little bit offbeat and suggest that physical reality will never end as it is continuously self-perpetuating. Even if Planets are destroyed, all that energy reforms to become new suns, new moons, and new earths. And our spirits and consciousness, even if they do not meet a transcendant plane of paradise, continue on to exist as part of the universe as wind, heat, rain, stone, and any other natural aspect of our universe.

I believe that the "Rapture" is Not a global return to God as we are already God able to create our reality in any form we choose. We are what we choose to be and our energy follows suit. We already have the immanent consciousness of all planes and the transcendence of spirit to speak with the Source.

The problem is twofold. First, the majority of people on earth are not aware of this consciousness in their daily material lives. That is ultimately why we practice Psychic Phenomenon, Energy Working and Magic in the first place. To Acheive and Perceive what we are not normally aware of.

Second, is that most people, out of their inability to perceive the Numinous, then go on to blame this world (which is truly glorious and filled with miracles) as the reason of their suffering and, as such, a mass escapist ideal is born of a world devoid of the suffering and hardship that we face, when in truth, these difficulties are what bring us the wisdom, power, and enlightenment we seek to become greater than what we perceive ourselves to be. It becomes a case of: "The grass is ALWAYS greener on the other side, despite the fact that where I am now may be even better than I realize."

I have a different idea for a "Rapture" or "Second Coming". instead of the return of an objective God-form bathed in brilliance and so on come to punish the guilty and save the righteous; such a thing would be much more internal and mystical.

Magicians and Mystics from all across time have sought the personal communion of their personal Gods, Highest Selves, Augoeides, Daemons, and Holy Guardian Angels. And through devoted spiritual practice, forgiveness of themselves and their "sins", Dark Nights of the Soul, and facing personal demons, such people came to the unity with the Source in consciousness and soul; many even becoming saints in the process.

Ultimately, in my opinion, such practices coincide with modern ideas of "Second Comings" and "Raptures". The return of a God-form is nothing more than the personal experience of one's highest self. The punishment of "sin" being no more than the con frontation with one's personal demons and vices. The periods of facing hardship and fear boil down to intense dark nights of the soul. And the end result is the blessings and grace of a life lived in spirit.

Such a "Rapture" would be an intense and sudden awakening of such intensity as to shake the very foundations of one's consciousness and transform one's life utterly and completely. The acknowledgement of One's Divine Nature and a new life in the Glory of the Numinous. Such a thing would be Beautiful beyond words.

The Bible states that NO ONE knows when a second coming will take place, not even Jesus, the Angels of Heaven nor the "Enemy" himself, save for the Father. Well guess what? the Father, in our case, need not be a powerful king in the sky dictating judgment upon us lowly mortals, but instead be the gentle voice of our God Souls guiding us towards Beauty and Happiness. Not a commanding voice instilling fear, but a Joyful voice instilling Eros and Agape. The Desire for greater peace, truth, and illumination in our lives and the Charity to be a light in the darkness for all others.

Say what you will but I believe that there is more to the picture than an "End of Days", but instead a new beginning of days as Gods Ourselves.

LVX Amor!
