The Mask: Arthur “Joe Biden” Roberts

We laugh at political actors, like Arthur “Joe Biden” Roberts, who are wearing rubber masks.

Have we considered that, in our everyday realm of activity, we – all of us – may also be wearing masks? I grant with no political consequences. But who are we to laugh at the mere wearing of a mask, as if it’s never done?

Masks upon masks. Emotional masks. Intellectual masks. Bodies that mask our true identity.

The whole purpose of life is for us to stand forth in the utter truth of our identity. (1) Instead we create masks and hide behind them.

Man, I could be burned at the stake for saying these things a few hundred years ago.

Masking is common; unmasking is the departure.

Having gone through a three-month encounter group, in which everyone unmasked, I feel immensely privileged to have witnessed the process. It only happens over time with intimates. It happened before my eyes in a matter of days.

And the est Six Day Course – the same unmasking in a matter of days.

Ascension will unmask us and locate us among a world of people similarly unmasked and lacking any evil intention. I imagine we have no idea what that would be like.

My explorations have always been among divine states, rather than “going places and meeting people,” so to speak.  How we feel comes to be the most important matter, our bodies no longer taking on “conditions.”  We prize feeling inspired and going further on our journey back to the One.

Or at least I did when in that state.

We are God in a mask, in a divine masquerade with all others. Those who have unmasked have journeyed beyond.

Your Cycle is Yours; Mine is Mine; and Mine is Closed for Business

Your Cycle is Yours; Mine is Mine; and Mine is Closed for Business

I continue to work with the cycle of conflict because I’ll soon be a CEO and won’t have time to work on it then.

I’m working in wide brushstrokes too because I don’t think it could possibly be too much longer before the emergency broadcasts. I don’t feel I have time for detailed research at the moment.

The white hats, I believe, can’t allow the whole shooting match to collapse. We have to blow the whistle sometime before the economic infrastructure disappears below the waves.

But then again, as Michael said, we probably don’t appreciate the depths of the depravity we face. (1)

I know our danger in the world appears to be mounting. Earthquake weapons in the South Pole. Warnings of weather events all over the globe. Whoever it was who described these times as ending in a near-death experience knew something.

However the galactic forces, bolstered by the celestials, among whom all of us incarnated angels number ourselves, (2) will prevail. Mira reassured us of this recently:

“This will not go on forever. We know that it feels endless and sometimes it can be exasperating. Remember the old story is going away opening the gateway for the whole New Earth in the 5th dimension and higher.

“What you see now is changing from moment to moment and day by day. You are no longer in the third dimension. The old way of life has disappeared. Let it go! It was not serving you or the rest of life on the planet. It was only serving those who are serving themselves.

“They will no longer be able to withstand this high frequency of love in the quantum energy of the Earth.” (3)

There is a divine plan (4) and there is an Alliance plan. (5) The former will see that the latter will prevail.

***

In the meantime, my best contribution is to eliminate conflict within me.

I’m taking further the notion that it only takes one to break the cycle of conflict. What I’m doing we used to call “pushing my edge.”

I just had a disagreement with a friend, which became explosive, and now we’re in the separation and ice-breaking part. And I’m observing.

What I saw was that, it’s really irrelevant what happens with the other person. What’s relevant is what I do with any and all of it.

Fortunately my friend and I are “into” reconciliation and moving on so it was over by the next morning.

I heard my guidance say, “not you or anyone is allowed on my cycle of conflict. I’ve closed it down, except for emergency use. And I’m not climbing aboard yours.”

OMG.  I would not have been able to see any of this if I were still running my cycle. I’d be into generating justifications, denials, excuses, etc. I’d be into image management: I’d always have to look right and good.

My motives would be unexamined but their tendency would be towards domination.

And I would not be able to see any of it because I was invested in it. It’d be like water to the fish.

Wow, I feel tuckered out just writing this. As I write, I’m going through what I’m describing. Or vice versa.

I don’t have to do anything with the other person’s input. I just have to see to my own.  Their cycle is their cycle, even though it’s hard to see that in everyday interaction, and my cycle is my own. (6)

I’m both declaring my independence of other people’s cycles and hanging my own back up in the closet where it belongs.

Later

I passed through my first successful transition from a circumstance where by all standards I had the right to be really mad and I let it go. This is a total first for me. My commitment to exit conflict held my first test.

Footnote

(1)  Archangel Michael: Many of you – and you, beloved, included – look at situations and you say, ‘Well, how can it get much worse?’ That is because you, and many, come from a place of love and purity of intent.

But you also know that everything that has need to be eliminated, everything that has need to be relinquished, everything that needs to be healed in this cesspool that we call ‘chaos’ has need to come to the surface.

Otherwise – and this has happened many, many times in human history – what happens is there is a belief, there is a healing, an accommodation, a remedy, and then the human collective tends to think, ‘Okay, now it is cleaned up. Now it is healed. Now it is done.’ But the core – the core issues [i.e., the vasanas] – of the collective, and of course of the individuals, have not been addressed, and therefore it simply settles in and it festers. (“Archangel Michael on Why All This Conflict is Occurring,” September 28, 2023, at https://goldenageofgaia.com/?p=348361.)

As with the individual cycle of conflict, nothing changes. So we keep going round and round. This era, things will change.

I Reap the Harvest

I Reap the Harvest

by Steve Beckow

Posted on July 30, 2023

 

I’m more and more realizing the idiocy of claiming to be an “expert.”

I’m left musing after reading Marilyn’s thought-provoking history of the Council of Nicea.

The only historical connection I have – even to the Christian Church broadly at that time, save a lifelong fascination with the desert fathers – is with St. Nonnus of Panopolis, (1) whom I came to admire.

St. Nonnus was an embodied archangel, Michael told me.  (2) His best-known act was his relationship with Pelagia, an actress and prostitute, renowned in Antioch. (3)

She had such a powerful experience listening to his sermon that she sold all her jewels and gold, gave the money away, and joined a nunnery, it was thought.

After her death, a brother sent to her discovered her locked in a brothers’ cell in Jerusalem, where she was known as Brother Pelagius. She’d lived on scraps, the most pious of the pious. No one knew Brother Pelagius was a woman. (4)

Wow, did that story have an effect on me at the time.

That’s it. That’s my knowledge of the times and the Christian Church back then. Having that scrap of knowledge, does that make me an expert?

Only if I spin it.

***

And that raises the second point. How many experts are indeed simply masterful at spinning it? We saw how many professional medical people were willing to swallow the Kool-Aid and go along with the Covid narrative even though they knew their actions were wrong. The persecutors claimed to be experts.

Going along with the narrative included attributing even deaths by murder to Covid, giving politicians the placebo and the rest of us the toxic vaccine, forcing people to take the vaccine, de-credentialing professionals who opposed it, etc.

How many of these people posed as experts on Covid, when what they were espousing was killing people?

I’m so tired of our tendency to make and worship “experts.”

***

I think that’s why I prefer awareness writing so much. I can really only tell you my story – what I see, hear, think, feel. It’s probably self-servingly packaged (reader beware), dressed up to look nice, told and retold perhaps. Hopefully not.

But, with that tool, I can burrow down, below that layer, below the vasanas (core issues), until we get to places in our field of awareness where things really happen – realizations, experiences, insights.

I’m an expert in me. That’s all I’m an expert in and, even there, if I don’t watch myself, I can kid myself, choose to remain ignorant, make things up. The human mind is capable … of anything… as we’re seeing all around us in these end times – the end of darkness.

Michael says he knows me better. Undoubtedly he does. But I’m the final arbiter, the final judge.  I plow the row. I plant the seeds. I reap the harvest.

Footnotes

(1) Wikipedia says: “[Nonnus of Panopolis] is sometimes conflated with St Nonnus from the hagiographies of St Pelagia and with Nonnus, the bishop of Edessa who attended the Council of Chalcedon, both of whom seem to have been roughly contemporary, but these associations are probably mistaken.” (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonnus.)

But Michael says Nonnus of Panopolis and St. Nonnus were the same being:

Steve: Did [St.] Nonnus write the Dionysiac? Is he also the Nonnus that wrote the [Paraphrase of the] Epistle of St. John?

AAM: That is correct. (AAM, March 13, 2015.)

(2) Steve: I’m trying to figure out why I love Nonnus [of Panopolis] so much. Whenever I come across his name I get a surge of love. Can you tell me?

Archangel Michael: Because you cherish this energy which is known in many ways and in many forms.

S: So it’s not necessarily Nonnus…

AAM: No, it is the energy that has been known as Nonnus’s, but is known in many ways.

S: Can you tell me of the other ways that it is known?

AAM: Archangelic, dear heart.

S: Nonnus was archangelic?

AAM: Yes.

S: Oh, gosh, isn’t that wonderful! (AAM, March 13, 2015.)

(3) It was common for actors and actresses to sleep with members of the audience, for the right price.

(4) Here is Oxford’s version:

“Pelagia, actress of Antioch, penitent at Jerusalem. Her Legend has been immensely popular in East and West. It was written by someone well versed in the writings of the Desert Fathers, who purported to be James the deacon of bishop Nonnus. According to this fictional account, Pelagia was a beautiful but dissolute actress of Antioch, at the height of her renown, with many lovers, jewels, and servants.

“When some bishops were seated at the tomb of St Julian, listening to a sermon from Nonnus, she passed by, provocatively dressed, surrounded by her ‘fans.’ All the bishops turned away shocked, except Nonnus, who was moved to tears by her zeal and success in her profession (regarded as Satan’s) compared with the tepidity and slowness of his own and others’ progress in holiness.

“After a dream-troubled night Nonnos preached in the cathedral of Antioch and Pelagia walked in again, was converted on the spot, and asked for baptism. A deaconess Romana was deputed to be her sponsor and Pelagia was duly instructed and baptized.

“Soon afterwards she gave away all her ill-gotten gains, left her life of comfort and luxury, and went to live as a hermit, dressed as a man, on the Mount of Olives ( Jerusalem). There the deacon James visited the beardless recluse ‘Pelagius’; only after her death. Not long afterwards were her identity and her sex discovered.”

Mysterious 2000-Year-Old Green Serpentine Mask Found Inside Ancient Pyramid

Mysterious 2000-Year-Old Green Serpentine Mask Found Inside Ancient Pyramid

By Vicky Verma

Posted on March 22, 2023

Mexico has many remarkable archaeological sites that provide insight into its pre-Columbian history. Among the most impressive structures is the Pyramid of the Sun, which continues to reveal amazing discoveries. Built approximately in 100 CE, this pyramid is the largest structure in Teotihuacan and has been under continuous research by archaeologists.

Although few artifacts have been unearthed on-site, in 2011, researchers from Mexico’s National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH) made a surprising discovery using a 380-foot-long tunnel excavated by archaeologists in the 1930s. (Source)

By using the tunnel, the team was able to reach the mother-rock level. Upon arrival, they discovered a valuable assortment of artifacts, such as fragments of clay pottery, animal bones, obsidian pieces, three serpentine human figurines, and a remarkable “Green” serpentine mask. The green mask holds significant interest as, during its unearthing, it was the sole mask of its type discovered in a ritual context in Teotihuacan.

According to a statement by INAH, the discovery comprises 11 ceremonial clay pots dedicated to a rain god resembling Tlaloc. The findings also included animal bones, such as rabbits fed to eagles, and feline and canine remain yet to be identified. These offerings were placed on a rubble base where the temple was built around 50 AD. It is noteworthy that Tlaloc was still revered in the region even after 1,500 years.

These offerings were believed to be deposited as part of a ritual to inaugurate the pyramid’s construction, which explains their location at the lower level. The discovery of this mask was particularly noteworthy because it depicted a human face with remarkable accuracy and simplicity.

This is significant due to the importance of masks in indigenous people’s religious practices. The Aztecs, in particular, were a culture that placed great value on masks, as noted by renowned anthropologist Claude Lévi-Strauss.

There are numerous types of masks, both intended for wear and crafted as miniature versions, possibly for use as amulets. With a history of mask-making in the region spanning millennia, ranging from rudimentary pottery to intricate art pieces, the diversity of masks would have been remarkable, given their various shapes and forms.

Unfortunately, only a limited number of masks have been discovered despite the estimated abundance of them, but the depictions of masks throughout history strongly suggest that many more existed over the centuries.

The Pyramid of the Sun, known today as the world’s third-largest pyramid, was named by the Aztecs who visited Teotihuacan centuries after its abandonment. The original name of the pyramid remains a mystery. Teotihuacan was once a flourishing city known as the City of the Gods, with a population of 200,000 at its peak. However, researchers have yet to learn about the people who inhabited this city and why they disappeared.

In the Aztec culture, masks played an essential role in religious ceremonies as they were meant to represent one of their many gods. The Aztecs were known for their artistic skills and colorful masks. However, the few masks discovered so far had strong symbolism, such as animal features or distorted proportions compared to humans.

Some scholars suggest that individuals did not wear masks during their duties. Instead, they were placed on holders or over a skull, sent as tokens to other rulers and chiefs, or used as death masks. This might explain why some masks were not carved out to allow the wearer to see. Despite this, most of the masks showed some elaboration or alteration of the human figure.

Masks have played a central role in the religion and rituals of Mesoamerican civilizations for millennia. Therefore, finding a mask resembling a buried person is unique. New archaeological findings in the future may shed more light on this discovery, the site at large, and the beautiful Mesoamerican cultures.

The National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH) has been researching to uncover more information about the ancient civilization of Teotihuacán. One of the recent discoveries made by INAH was an underground tunnel found beneath the Pyramid of the Moon. The use of electrical resistance technology enabled the mapping of the tunnel without the need for ground excavation.

The tunnel leads to an underground chamber, preceded by a chamber measuring 49 feet in diameter. This newly discovered chamber may hold more treasures. The accumulation of these findings will hopefully provide more insight into the civilization of Teotihuacán and reveal more information about its decline.

Verónica Ortega, the director of the Integral Conservation Project for the Plaza of the Moon, explains that the large offering complexes constitute the sacred heart of Teotihuacan, making it a mecca for civilization. The discoveries made within these complexes can help to unravel the relationship that the ancient metropolis had with other regions of Mesoamerica.
