So in studying all of the the apocalypse prophecy and descriptions of the “End Times,” many of them new to me, many which were recounted to the prophets by the “Gatekeeper,” Uriel, it becomes very clear that there is about to be a division of souls. This is something, that if you draw breath, have a heart, and possess a soul, you should be as concerned about as am I.
So this is the question; what is it that makes a Human righteous, and what causes a human soul to be elected?
Well, first and foremost, everything that we as the Human possess, is through the grace and good pleasure of our Father|Mother and nothing we do can change that one dimension, yet spiritual traditions do teach us paths for snatching our election and attributes that reflect our righteousness.
So for the Christians, righteousness and election come through a blood sacrifice; God in his mercy, provides the sacrificial living being, which is slaughtered in order that the blood that flows from the human body, in this case of the “son,” covers all of your sin, and you no longer have to worry about your path of salvation and God-presence.
Of course, whether you are Christian or not, you have to admit, that the horrific blood sacrifice of the Son of God, which gives you a free pass into heaven, is an incredibly powerful hook for drawing adherents.
Yet, intrinsically, what is the difference of this belief, with Abraham in sacrificing his son Isaac, or in the Children of Israel sacrificing their first born children to the fires of Moloch, or the Aztecs ripping the beating heart from the chest of the sacrificail human, or slaughtering animals upon and altar to secure God’s favor.
I declare this all, in the name of my Father|Mother, to be total bullshit.
God abhors blood sacrifice; and do you know why? It essentially declares, that you, a son|daughter of the Living One, do not have an adequate heart connection, to be able to live as a righteous being. You are God’s child, so certainly as such, you should have the ability to live righteously in the world.
If the Holy Spirit is truly manifest within you, guiding your actions and informing your heart, are you not righteous. While I might be condemned for denigrating the “sacrifice” of Christ, no one will ever be able to accuse me of not being in love with the words that flowed from within the wisdom of Christ, which in essence is the very wisdom of the Godhead. Here is what Jesus says makes us righteous:
Mark 12: 30 Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ 31 The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no commandment greater than these.” This is the summation and culmination of all of the law and the prophets.
Deuteronomy 6:5: The original Old Testament command states, “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength”.
In Hinduism, Bhakti yoga, is a very similar path:
Bhakti yoga is the spiritual path of deep, unconditional devotion and love toward a personal deity or the divine. It is one of the four main paths of yoga in Hindu philosophy, emphasizing emotional connection and relationship over physical postures or intellectual study.
Core Concepts
- Path of Devotion: Practitioners, called bhaktas, view love as the highest spiritual tool to transcend the ego and achieve liberation (moksha).
- Personal Deity: Devotion is usually directed toward a specific form of the Divine (an Ishta-Devata), such as Krishna, Shiva, Vishnu, Rama, or the Divine Mother.
- Universal Accessibility: It requires no complex physical training or deep philosophical knowledge, making it open to anyone regardless of background.
Primary Practices
The Bhagavata Purana outlines nine traditional forms of devotion, with the most common modern practices being:
- Kirtan and Bhajan: Singing, chanting, and playing music to praise the Divine in a group setting.
- Japa: Repetitively chanting a mantra or the name of God, often using a strand of prayer beads (mala).
- Puja: Offering ritual worship, flowers, food, or incense to a sacred image or altar.
- Sravana: Listening to sacred scriptures, spiritual stories, or divine teachings.
The Path of Righteousness is also to be found in the Bhaghavad Gida
Key Themes and Concepts
- Renunciation (Sannyasa vs. Tyaga): Krishna clarifies that true renunciation does not mean abandoning everyday responsibilities. Instead, it means performing your obligatory duties while completely letting go of the attachment to the results of those actions.
- The Three Gunas (Modes of Nature): Krishna breaks down human behavior, knowledge, intellect, resolve, and happiness into three categories:
- Sattva (Goodness, purity, and wisdom)
- Rajas (Passion, intense desire, and worldly activity)
- Tamas (Ignorance, darkness, and laziness)
- The Importance of Svadharma: The text reinforces that it is better to do your own duty, even if imperfectly, than to successfully perform someone else’s duty. Doing your inherent duty brings no karmic reaction.
- The Ultimate Conclusion: The final section shifts from self-discipline and knowledge to total surrender. Krishna declares that loving devotion and surrender to the Supreme Divine are the highest and most confidential paths to absolute peace and liberation.
Bhagavad Gita Chapter 18
Verse 47 (Svadharma): “It is far better to perform one’s own natural duty, even if flawed, than to perform another’s duty perfectly.”
Verse 66 (Sharanagati / The Final Call): “Abandon all varieties of dharma and simply surrender unto Me alone. I shall liberate you from all sinful reactions; do not fear.”
Bhagavad Gita
Book 4, Verse 36: “Even if you are considered to be the most sinful of all sinners, when you are situated in the boat of transcendental knowledge you will be able to cross over the ocean of miseries.”
So What is Righteousness.
A righteous soul is one who longs for the love, light and truth of God and because of this devotion, this compelling need within, we are willing to surrender everything; all in the quest so of acquiring the knowledge and presence of God, now, in this Human form. We walk within the material world in the same way as every other human; we sin. We make mistakes, and we ebb and flow in our relationship with God, yet their is a burning flame, always burning, always this spark is kindled, so we can return to our source. Yes, “eternal life ” is important to us, but we see the path to that life in the Pleroma, comes about, out of being cast within the submission to the love of God, and also the love of all created beings, both human and others that we encounter. Once you experience the love of God, all life becomes sacred, all actions are surrendered to God. Don’t you see?
God transforms our vision, because of the sense of our love directed toward Him|Her, which is compelling in drawing down the presence of God within ourselves.
And here is an important thing; God is ever-present within us, and within every human (well maybe most) you meet. God is not distant; God’s being participates within all souls within the creation as the sacred ground of being.
And finally, this is a quest for your soul’s transfiguration into the actual being of God. The prize is so huge, yet you do not perceive it. You pursue wealth or glory, to build up the feeling of dominance and safety of your ego, but what God wants from you, is to cast the ego away, and to act in the world in peace, exuding the glory of heaven from within yourself into the world. And this can only happen when we love others as ourselves. We can only call down heaven to earth by being merciful beings, full of compassion and love toward the least of these our brothers and sisters.
Call down blessing from God onto everyone you meet. Ask God to lift the burdens of those you know and those that you don’t. Be a force for good in the world rather than evil. It is simple, wholesome and good, and aligns you with the Spirit of God that you are calling to dwell within you.
So are you will be among the righteous, who will escape the wrath that will be directed toward those that refuse to submit to the love, light and truth of God? Its a fearsome thing to fall into the hands of the Living God. So submit, and fall into the loving embrace of God now, so at His|Her appearing there will be no shedding of tears or regret.
Many sins can be covered by love, and God is quick to reestablish your soul when you seek the healing of the Holy Spirit. Submit, to the All and Everything, become the essential nature of the One, and open into the vastness of Shiva, now and forever more.
Enoch 48
1. And in that place I saw the fountain of righteousness
Which was inexhaustible:
And around it were many fountains of wisdom;
And all the thirsty drank of them,
And were filled with wisdom,
And their dwellings were with the righteous and holy and elect.
2. And at that hour that Son of Man was named In the presence of the Lord of Spirits,
And his name before the Head of Days.
3. Yea, before the sun and the signs were created,
Before the stars of the heaven were made,
His name was named before the Lord of Spirits.
4. He shall be a staff to the righteous whereon to stay themselves and not fall,
And he shall be the light of the Gentiles,
And the hope of those who are troubled of heart.
5. All who dwell on earth shall fall down and worship before him,
And will praise and bless and celebrate with song the Lord of Spirits.
6. And for this reason hath he been chosen and hidden before Him,
Before the creation of the world and for evermore.
7. And the wisdom of the Lord of Spirits hath revealed him to the holy and righteous;
For he hath preserved the lot of the righteous,
Because they have hated and despised this world of unrighteousness,
And have hated all its works and ways in the name of the Lord of Spirits:
For in his name they are saved,
And according to his good pleasure hath it been in regard to their life.
8. In these days downcast in countenance shall the kings of the earth have become,
And the strong who possess the land because of the works of their hands;
For on the day of their anguish and affliction they shall not (be able to) save themselves.
9. And I will give them over into the hands of Mine elect:
As straw in the fire so shall they burn before the face of the holy:
As lead in the water shall they sink before the face of the righteous,
And no trace of them shall any more be found.
10. And on the day of their affliction there shall be rest on the earth,
And before them they shall fall and not rise again:
And there shall be no one to take them with his hands and raise them:
For they have denied the Lord of Spirits and His Anointed.
The name of the Lord of Spirits be blessed.
What these verses are disclosing about the righteous is that they hate the evil works of the rulers of this world, who in this time have been indwelled with demons, whose sole goal is to destroy the human race, and what God loves in us. The systems of the world, as seen for the evil that they embody, and the souls of the righteous recoil from the evil that they see surrounding them.
Which side will you be found in? Quietly, contemplate the things that you truly love, the things that fill you with longing and desire. This will inform you about whether you are among the elect and righteous.
Chapter 49
l. For wisdom is poured out like water,
And glory faileth not before him for evermore.
2. For he is mighty in all the secrets of righteousness,
And unrighteousness shall disappear as a shadow,
And have no continuance;
Because the Elect One standeth before the Lord of Spirits,
And his glory is for ever and ever,
And his might unto all generations.
3. And in him dwells the spirit of wisdom,
And the spirit which gives insight,
And the spirit of understanding and of might,
And the spirit of those who have fallen asleep in righteousness.
4. And he shall judge the secret things,
And none shall be able to utter a lying word before him;
For he is the Elect One before the Lord of Spirits according to His good pleasure.
So just as in Eastern Philosophy, your spiritual growth is influenced by your own actions, by the path you choose, and the depth of your love and light, dwelling in the Truth of God.
Chapter 50
1. And in those days a change shall take place for the holy and elect,
And the light of days shall abide upon them,
And glory and honour shall turn to the holy,
2. On the day of affliction on which evil shall have been treasured up against the sinners.
And the righteous shall be victorious in the name of the Lord of Spirits:
And He will cause the others to witness (this)
That they may repent
And forgo the works of their hands.
3. They shall have no honour through the name of the Lord of Spirits,
Yet through His name shall they be saved,
And the Lord of Spirits will have compassion on them,
For His compassion is great.
4. And He is righteous also in His judgement,
And in the presence of His glory unrighteousness also shall not maintain itself:
At His judgement the unrepentant shall perish before Him.
5. And from henceforth I will have no mercy on them, saith the Lord of Spirits.
Chapter 51
1. And in those days shall the earth also give back that which has been entrusted to it,
And Sheol also shall give back that which it has received,
And hell shall give back that which it owes.
5a. For in those days the Elect One shall arise,
2. And he shall choose the righteous and holy from among them:
For the day has drawn nigh that they should be saved.
3. And the Elect One shall in those days sit on My throne,
And his mouth shall pour forth all the secrets of wisdom and counsel:
For the Lord of Spirits hath given (them) to him and hath glorified him.
4. And in those days shall the mountains leap like rams,
And the hills also shall skip like lambs satisfied with milk,
And the faces of ⌈all⌉ the angels in heaven shall be lighted up with joy.
5b. And the earth shall rejoice,
c. And the righteous shall dwell upon it,
d. And the elect shall walk thereon.
What Makes us Righteous and Elect?
Every Human sins, and participates in shameful things; this is not what condemns the Human. It is a state of being, it is a vibratory resonance that sees the world and longs to see God within it. It is the allowing the Holy Spirit to inform us as we pass along the path. It is a soul that submits to the will of God, by opening our hearts to love and compassion, so that we might by our very existence, heal the world. We are here to heal others and the world. It is a grateful heart that is constantly praising the provision from God’s hand and His|Her mercy as we allow it to flow into us. As we receive the mercy of God, we are merciful to others.
In the final analysis, it is our souls, containing the presence of the Holy Spirt, which is what seals us as righteous. We are not saved by our own righteousness, but by the righteousness that we acquire through the presence of the Spirit in us.
Matthew 18: The Evil Servant
21 Then Peter said to Jesus, “Lord, how many times should I forgive my brother or sister who sins against me? Should I forgive as many as seven times?”
22 Jesus said, “Not just seven times, but rather as many as seventy-seven times. 23 Therefore, the kingdom of heaven is like a king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants. 24 When he began to settle accounts, they brought to him a servant who owed him ten thousand bags of gold. 25 Because the servant didn’t have enough to pay it back, the master ordered that he should be sold, along with his wife and children and everything he had, and that the proceeds should be used as payment. 26 But the servant fell down, kneeled before him, and said, ‘Please, be patient with me, and I’ll pay you back.’ 27 The master had compassion on that servant, released him, and forgave the loan.
28 “When that servant went out, he found one of his fellow servants who owed him one hundred coins. He grabbed him around the throat and said, ‘Pay me back what you owe me.’
29 “Then his fellow servant fell down and begged him, ‘Be patient with me, and I’ll pay you back.’ 30 But he refused. Instead, he threw him into prison until he paid back his debt.
31 “When his fellow servants saw what happened, they were deeply offended. They came and told their master all that happened. 32 His master called the first servant and said, ‘You wicked servant! I forgave you all that debt because you appealed to me. 33 Shouldn’t you also have mercy on your fellow servant, just as I had mercy on you?’ 34 His master was furious and handed him over to the guard responsible for punishing prisoners, until he had paid the whole debt.
35 “My heavenly Father will also do the same to you if you don’t forgive your brother or sister from your heart.”
Sure sound like righteousness is tied to karma; our actions require and elicit a response, so act right. Nobody, human, or God, is going to bless an asshole. Seems pretty simple to me.
