Sodom and Gomorrah
The Bible is a complete book of recipes for the soul preparation to the final flight.
In Buddhism, there is a beautiful representation that each country according to their custom should adopt as: Mandala, Totem, Vèvè, Fresco, etc.
It is a circle of 12 rings representing the 12 dwellings in which the human soul must pass through before finding the exit door off the world prior to begin the spiritual journey. In front of that door, A True Master stands and expects the marked sheep, to continue traveling with them. Since it’s even harder than the short stays we have had in this small world, which took so long time to get out. This, to prevent us from being caught in the Spheres, Kingdoms where we would like to explore, which would take us an eternity while the Creator is waiting for us.
The world will remain the same so that the multitude of involuted souls awaiting evolution. Like raw gold waiting to go through the fire to be purified (The Perfection) The suffering we endure is not so much because of the vicissitudes of life but, our separation from God, all the rest is illusion.
The trials that we must triumphed in each of the rings of this great circle are different, we cannot skip steps. So, instead of wasting our time trying to change the world that no Master has ever done since it must continue to welcome souls, let it follow its course and let’s do the Excelsior (Always higher).
Ecclesiastes told us that “nothing is new under the sun”
We have now arrived at the end of Sodom and Gomorrah. (Literally taken)
This is not bad because it allows those who are on the right track to gauge their ability to resist all these assaults that come from everywhere: Social, Economic and even Spiritual. So, let us pass the test as Christ did. This is the temptation.
It is the war we should wage against the manners that must be transcended. It is not worthwhile to be puritanical, but rather, let us have the true shield that is; the knowledge of what the outer world is, and let us entrenched ourselves within if we can.
We have seen that Jehovah, Jesus Christ and so many other Saints who have thread the paths of this world did not changed it then, why lament. Let us be content to be wise spectators without blaming others for playing their roles as actors.
The same fate is reserved for everyone.
