Heaven’s Doorkeeper Is The Devil
… and the devil doesn’t exist.
If we spend our life only looking for ‘goodness’, we fall under the spell of pride and evil. It’s easily done, and we become trippers, buying into trinkets. The way is through knowledge of good and evil. The Naga in the Garden of Eden was divine wisdom, which is the opposite to what the magi-cians translated for us.
The ‘devil’ – or Mara – is our own likes and dislikes which lie in ambush to distract consciousness to look in the opposite direction. This is activated through being judgemental, by taking sides.
It is the very recognition of this reaction that opens the door to heaven, nirvana, enlightenment. When we know the secret behind the illusion, this actually points the way. That’s what magicians do; it’s very clever and believable, but pointless to a discerning eye when we are able to distinguish between truth and not-quite the truth.
Our job then is to see through the illusion and actually walk through the door – the mind – and leave it open for others. And to our surprise, we are still here. Heaven is a state of mind which is pure consciousness that has no judgements; habitual judgements come a moment later to obscure the mind.
There are a lot of clever illusions about,
so there is a lot of guidance and teaching about
– if we look in the right way.
The evil is the world is showing us the way. For this reason, evil never works in the way it wants to work, and it’s also why it can never stop, as it’s totally insatiable and confused. If we do not see evil, we are its minions, followers, enablers, servile underlings; as such, we are unimportant, and no threat as we’re easily turned away by the doorkeeper.
Dare to open the door of your mind, and see through it.
NB ‘Magi’ comes from the Zoroastrian belief system of a creator, and originated the area of modern day Iran. Also from that region came the Vedic tradition of non-duality, which is the opposite view.
The point is having a complete picture, rather than a one-sided picture. Evil wants us to take sides.
