The ETs, the Harvesting of Souls & the Sanskrit Texts
In the March 27, 2013 post on Ancient Origins website, William Bramley author of
'Gods of Eden' has said:
"Based
upon some of the Ancient Astronaut evidence, the Great Flood legend, and the UFO
evidence connected to the Black Death, my guess was that the ETs' solution would
be another annihilation of humans... Such annihilation might be in connection
with their creation of a new version of Homo sapiens that is more compatible
with the ETs to replace us, just as custodial ETs had reportedly done in
pre-history to create the current version of homo sapiens..."
This intriguing conjecture portends the end of a Cycle of Time, which leads to
the fear-loaded question of the Harvesting of Souls.
The archaic phrase 'harvesting of souls' is in fact specious, wrong and
misleading. There is only the One. There is only one Soul. We all share the same
Soul, the Oneness.
“I am the same in all beings.” [Bhagavad Gita IX.29]
We exist individually as spirit or astral bodies that transmigrate, moving from
one material body to another by the law of magnetism. Like attracts like. Our
actions, thoughts and consciousness create the subtle or spirit body over
hundreds of life times. In Sanskrit the subtle body is called the
SHARIRA. Seers and psychics can
easily see this body and read its condition.
The word harvesting is also misleading. No one can ‘take’ you or make you do
anything unless you yourself have generated a consciousness that resonates with
a particular force, a waveform that would then magnetize you into its similar
frequency. Therefore a deeper understanding of the mechanics of this process
will relieve you of fear and help you to realize why it is imperative to
generate a high consciousness at every moment.
The Subtle Body
As you incarnate in Time and Space, you build a subtle body - also termed as the
spirit or astral body. In Kashmir Shaivism is it called the puryashtaka rupa
[Sanskrit]. Like the physical body, the subtle body contains a complex nervous
system.
These "nerve currents are called Hita Nadis [Sanskrit] and they are very
fine in structure, finer than even the thousandth part of a hair. Through these
very fine, subtle nerve currents pass the serum of the essence of the human
individual…” [Brihadaranyaka Upanishad, translated with commentaries by Swami
Krishnananda and available online].
These subtle nerves store the impressions of our lives and our thoughts. Every
thought, every experience is stored in this the subtle body that carries our
individual consciousness from one life to another. This individuality is only a
temporal 'appearance' for beneath all forms of multiplicity is the One, the
eternal Real.
It is this aggregate, this cumulative consciousness that determines our next
incarnation. Inevitably, inexorably we become that which our actions and
thoughts, our own individual consciousness has self-created, self-generated. We
alone are responsible. We are drawn to the external holographic manifestations
of our own thoughts. There is no one to blame. It is all our doing. We are each
a portion of the Oneness playing in Time and Space — like everyone else.
The eternal, imperishable, immutable Oneness assumes a temporal ‘appearance’ in
a fragment of Its Self as the individual. When we are born we move into a new
physical body and when we leave, meaning die, we do so in this subtle body. The
subtle body is our data-collecting vehicle. It carries the five senses and the
mind, the impressions (samskaras)
of our experiences as “the wind carries scents.” [Bhagavad Gita XV.7 & 8]
Like attracts like!
From an understanding of the subtle body, we realize that no one can ever
actually ‘take’ or harvest our soul. Our own consciousness has built the subtle
spirit body. We will be magnetized to the-where-and-what it resonates with. Like
attracts like – that simple!
Location is determined by your consciousness
Consciousness determines everything. In the Bhagavad Gita, Krishna says that the
god worshippers go to the gods, the god worlds; those who worship the ancestors
go to them, the ancestral realms; those who sacrifice to the spirits go to the
spirits (bhutani), the shaman worlds;
and those who Know and Become the One merge into That. (BhG IX.25)
There is nothing wrong in any of these forms of worship. However, these
approaches are only “partial manifestations of the highest reality.”
[Abhinavagupta, Bhagavad Gita VII 21-23]
The Invisible Realms
In previous Cycles of Time, we were not limited to the five senses and we were
aware of these off-world realms now invisible to most of us. As
individuals we have played in these realms before. We may have bonds with them.
If we humans were created by off-world beings, then it is only reasonable that
they will want to salvage what is rightfully theirs - family DNA. However it is
up to you to decide what you want and where you want to arrive.
Are the ETs Enlightened?
The so-called extra-terrestrials are merely the inhabitants of the Myriad
Realms. They may have grand technologies and may be very pretty, but are they
enlightened? If they were enlightened would they be in these phantasmal realms?
If they are not enlightened, if they do not have the understanding of the One,
if their consciousness has not reached eternal Wisdom, if they have not Become
the One – then why do we need them?
The Oneness pervades All. However, these Myriad Realm beings in their countless
phantasmal hierarchies do not want us to know that we too are the very Soul
permeating this entire universe. Why trust these myriad spirit guides, ETs, etc.
if you have no idea who or what they are? You would not walk up to any stranger
on the street and give your life over to them, would you? Ask yourself what does
'saving' you mean. Exactly where will they take you?
Our Refuge is a Higher Consciousness
If we are facing the end of this Cycle of Time, as many are suggesting and
feeling, then our only Refuge is a higher consciousness. Use this time wisely.
Do not waste it in fear. You are the Oneness. You are That. As they say in
Sanskrit, Tat Twam Asi - That
thou art!
