Here I continue this conversation …..
conversation 13
Oba: I’ve found a number of new insights.
Allah: Such as?
Oba: Well it’s really surprised me that you don’t necessarily want people to think you are impossibly distant, separate, vast, and unknowable. You actually want people to know you from up close because knowing something is the only way anyone can really love something.
Allah: Just so.
Oba: In fact, they need to know that you are also in them, as their core identity.
Allah: Ahhh, that believers should know this.
Oba: Because having an identity in God and of God, one can actually know God better, and understand what God really wants.
Allah: Anything else?
Oba: I’ve been inclined to know better who manages and makes rules in this world of ours, and to notice that some unsavory gangsters are in high positions of power, and they are often committing grave crimes against humans.
Allah: A recognition.
Oba: Justice for people matters, and God should not tolerate crimes which harm on the people. Especially as it pertains to their engineered and planned wars.
Allah: I’ve already mentioned, wars are planned and engineered because they are all about business … and when two sides fight, a third side often plays “both sides of the conflict” and then profits financially from the destruction that ensues.
Oba: So people could wake up and figure out who is really causing these wars and conflicts.
Allah: What is your solution to this?
Oba: It’s obviously an ancient problem, because when a few people acquire great wealth, along with it comes power, and then they have the means to consolidate their power by using their wealth to shut out access to power. And this is where the gangsterism comes in at the highest levels. It looks like it’s coming to a head right now. But these are world-wide networks. It’s going to take some work to get them neutralized.
Allah: What will you do?
Oba: Having a website helps. I will do what’s right and best. Also I will alert people to what the objective analysis is saying. There are information channels right now that many are picking up on.
Allah: God stands behind you if what you do is a courageous effort for fairness and justice.
Oba: Thank you and I will channel you again often. I get some powerful results this way.
Allah: Do this often then.
==================
conversation 14
Oba: I’m thinking about success again. I wonder how the attentions can be trained to accomplish great things. I’ve heard about the technique of assuming the desire being fulfilled and acting from the position of that accomplished desire. It seems a bit theater to me, but apparently it is very effective.
Allah: You’re saying that you wish to utilize your time better; to use it optimally?
Oba: Yes, absolutely. Am I being ambitious?
Allah: Just practical. You realize that attention is so fluid and so influenced by externals. And you wish to know exactly what you want, and then just think about that thing being accomplished in as little time as possible. You’re sounding here like the person who wants ideal use of his faculties.
Oba: I value time … I very much dislike wasting time because time is a magic gourd that contains all the wishes manifested … if only one is able to shape his own thinking in the right way. Time for me is the open canvas on which I could paint just about anything that I really believed in.
Allah: And you are feeling how the energy of others affects your own level of effectiveness?
Oba: I notice how people waste time so casually. They say it’s relaxation but actually it’s just escapism and wasting of time.
Allah: So let them waste their time and don’t do the same.
Oba: And for me, I appreciate knowing my best priorities are, becoming more effective with how I use my valuable time.
Allah: Knowing what you seek is half the solution already.
Oba: I’m going to take a break here and come back soon. OK, I came back after a 5 day break. I have to ask about something I read not long ago. It’s about the origins of major religions. There is the theory that the sacred books, the Scriptures, were written by people and not necessarily by angels. Mind you they’d have to be pretty advanced theologians to write big thick books of scriptures. I wonder who they would give a job like that to, and why? Who would commission it, for example? We have the theory also that some reasons for telling people to “submit” is that “they” want greater and more reliable control over people that way. It all sounds kind of risky to type in a public space. There’s always been this wish on the part of the “privileged” classes to make a control function on the general populations. I think this might change. You as Allah are thought to be God by most Arabian people. But maybe to an outsider, the origin of the scriptures might have been a commissioned product, despite that they have legends explaining how angels (and no one is supposed to know the actual facts of these angels) wrote these things.
Allah: And this is not standard public knowledge.
Oba: So could you please shine some light on what angels are, and confirm that some are positive and others might be of the risky type? Also could you confirm that Allah is not a new version of a more ancient tribal deity?
Allah: Avoid getting lost in language and theories. If you feel the connection between ancient deities, and a today-view of the transcendent God-function is unbreakable, then you’re on the wrong track. Your present conception of God, in the absolute Now of the sense, is the only thing that ultimately matters. Past definitions do not apply. Words are not the thing. Words are but a map or a symbol of the thing. The thing itself is not dependent on language. Therefore, God is what you think of God. God is not dependent on other people’s words about God. If other people’s words inspire you, then the words have done their function. Inspiration is a quality of God. If I wanted to describe angels here, I’d have to get into the complexities of the unseen worlds, and that could take a long time.
Oba: So it’s true that we have both seen and unseen worlds?
Allah: Oh certainly. Can you see your feelings?
Oba: Good point. I’m going to drop the issue of the origins of major religions for now. But I do keep in mind that some renowned spiritual figures like Buddha avoided religious cliches to focus only on what makes a good person. And religions that make God out to be an all-mighty but unreachable (unknowable) concept are also off-base. I think that Immanence has its own reality.
Allah: Are you expressing it?
Oba: I sense it’s a key to success.
Alah: It has to be. Good luck with this.
Oba: Thank you.
=================
conversation 15
Oba: Well I’m here again because I have some unresolved questions about religions. For example, I get the feeling that major orthodox religions actually hinder individual spiritual progress when it becomes “too creative” because that would pose a threat to the order of things.
Allah: Controversial but fair.
Oba: So how do you, Allah, reconcile this? Surely you know of many examples where mystically-minded individuals have gotten themselves in deep trouble with their mosques and religious authorities when what they were doing was attempting to publicize ways to be closer to God.
Allah: Vested interests are always aware of threats.
Oba: OK, let’s get back to modern Islam. Where does this religion go in the next few years? I’m always concerned over my own person success and that makes me seem a bit greedy to people.
Allah: Why should other people be concerned over this?
Oba: Maybe it’s their issues. I know, just do the right thing and never mind what others think.
Allah: Do more than the right thing. Do the unheard-of thing, the un-invented thing. Remember, you’re here to uncover new realities. You’re not just here to collect lots of toys.
Oba: Ah yes, and the imagination is the starting point of creation. I’m sure that exercises that assist a person to become optimally motivated and eager are quite valuable.
Allah: Of course they are. Why do you think good-quality self-help books are so in demand these days?
Oba: It could be because they jar people out of their limited mental grooves, their “small boxes” of perception, and open up new possibilities for them in their imaginations.
Allah: And what are you doing to study these kinds of teachings in an organized way, and then sharing with others?
Oba: Getting published is a whole different game than writing.
Allah: What’s preventing you?
Oba: Well, the book publishing industry has it’s own maze and puzzles to solve. You have to connect well and push hard to get known.
Allah: You obviously haven’t found the right publisher, plus, you’re wallowing in timidity which is partly self-created.
Oba: I would love some advice and coaching in this area.
Allah: You’re getting it, buddy.
Oba: So with the manuscripts that I have … I have to do new approaches.
Allah: Of course. When you get to the point of fully believing that you are successfully published, as the most natural result, then it will all happen.
Oba: So I have to believe it, and feel it?
Allah: You have gifts that you’re hardly aware of.
Oba: Yes, isn’t that funny? That we have so many abilities that we’re hardly aware of?
Allah: And the way to discover those abilities is to give of what you know you have already.
Oba: This is the advice I’m interested in.
Allah: I don’t waste words.
Oba: As a Mighty Spiritual Being (and object of the devotions of millions of followers) I’m certain that your words are golden nourishment. Thanks and please let me sift this over for awhile.
===================
conversation 16
Oba: I come here today to ask about words. That is, when we communicate, we use the medium of language, since we would hardly sing a conversation would we? So having words as our tool, we formulate images and meanings so that the other party will comprehend us best as possible. So my question is: in what ways could I improve my communications to make it more effective and more exact?
Allah: You’re aware that words are creative objects?
Oba: Yes, certainly, and my words go forth and create my future conditions to a large extent.
Allah: How about the initial impulse or idea. How clear is this before you put it into words?
Oba: That’s the more primary thing, isn’t it? To know clearly what you want to communicate and why.
Allah: Silence is an ancient practice exactly because of this.
Oba: Amazing how some acolytes or other practitioners would sometimes take vows of silence for a long time.
Allah: Understand God first. That is, understand this primal Force that pervades all living things.
Oba: Is this Force creative in terms of money as well?
Alah: It most certainly is.
Oba: So understanding it well would bring the option of lots of material wealth?
Allah: Know what you want the most.
Oba: I’ve been avoiding some types of music, especially when it contains entraining lyrics.
Allah: You won’t listen to it?
Oba: Yes, I leave the premises. It’s the kind of music that has hypnotic or captivating word-messages (instructions or commands contained in the lyrics) that actually disrupt my own natural thinking process.
Allah: Perhaps some science goes into this kind of music.
Oba: I bet it does, and it’s meant to get you think that way, not your way. Maybe it’s even designed to program thoughts and attitudes.
Allah: And pure instrumental music?
Oba: That’s less compromised. It takes a lot of skill to make music that uplifts you and transports you into a different kind of mood.
Allah: Does holiness translate into culture easily?
Oba: That requires skill also. Holiness to me is a paradigm-shift. To have a “holy” message, you first need a person who knows things that most people don’t know.
Allah: It requires experience?
Oba: I’d say it requires a person who has sought out the finer things and hasn’t wasted time with the lesser.
Allah: How many people are like this today?
Oba: I’ve heard that they hide well.
Allah: They are recluses?
Oba: From what I understand, they don’t spend time in the busy marketplace by choice. They need to cultivate themselves. They might choose to visit the market but it’s not their preferred situation.
Allah: How do they live?
Oba: We have legends of people like this. My favorite stories are about the Daoists who chose in ancient times to stay far in the mountains. These are mostly Chinese stories, but we have powerful legends of the sages of India also, who followed this different path.
Allah: Anywhere else besides these two places?
Oba: If more places existed where the great sages lived, it’s partly been lost in history, at least as far as actual records go. There are thought to be people living this way today, but they prefer the more solitary places.
Allah: Could you find them?
Oba: It’s possible if I look hard enough. I think there were people like this in North America long ago, but the European invasions kind of wiped that knowledge out. I wish there were records of these people in written form. And knowledge of their special places and so on. It amazes me sometimes how place names can miss using the most positive ones, and instead fail to do honor to places and environments.
Allah: Who does this naming?
Oba: Some branch of government, no doubt.
Allah: Is there a “negative force” on the planet?
Oba: I’d say that’s pretty obvious. We can be positive thinkers but the chaos still shows up and influences society.
Allah: Who wins this struggle?
Oba: Truth will always win out, but what form it’s going to take, that’s up to destiny.
Allah: Why is this taking shape?
Oba: Because of economic imbalances, maybe. When the wealthy and powerful become arrogant, and then devolve into evil, then people have to be protected from that. So the truth has to flush out the evil.
Allah: Will it be easy?
Oba: It’s probably going to require a major effort. Some of these parasitic forces have been in control for a long time now, and people have no idea how they have manged economies and managed wars, to their own gain.
Allah: Could you be specific?
Oba: I’d say, more or less, morally-wayward aristocrats who influence banking and the media and so on. Apparently they have scant regard for moral standards except for their own enrichment. They seem to be traitors to humanity in the ultimate sense. We see it happen today with all the disinformation that is based on fear.
Allah: How do you neutralize a dangerous enemy?
Oba: Those are things I will need to ask and find out in private.
Allah: That is practical.
Oba: Thank you.
================
conversation 17
Oba: Well this sure is a good time to ask Allah some more questions. For example: Is unmasking major massive lies as good as finding Truths?
Allah: What kind of major massive lies did you have in mind?
Oba: Oh, stuff to do with what is sometimes called social engineering. The formulation and design of belief systems by the adversary. The indoctrination of large numbers of folks into some belief systems.
Allah: Is this related to success?
Oba: Sure it is. Success is about being clear with your motives and your plans. So when you have millions of “devotees” being told things like: “the meaning of Religion is Submission” … I wonder who really benefits from this social control.
Allah: Are you cynical?
Oba: I have to be careful about that. Humor is always better. But there are some yogis in religious lore who can’t even afford a pair of underwear. They are naked and broke and are portrayed with a halo around their heads.
Allah: Are you getting stuck on a state of perception?
Oba: Hopefully not. But in some hot countries, folks could adopt the unclad wandering tradition more easily than where they have cold winters. But actually, my question could be phrased as: “Is it possible that all or nearly all famous or influential religious figures (and that would include authors of best-selling religious-themed books) are ALLOWED to be there by the powers that take? And thus to channel and control the flow of dialogue and perceptions?”
Allah: You’re showing your colors here.
Oba: But really, is information right down to belief systems designed by a business-class of aristocrats who control stuff through genetic succession?
Allah: Only partly. Your own sovereignty is always your own. This only should concern you.
Oba: Well, I’m ready to concede that since most major belief systems have been around a long time, there’s been ample time by the “powers that are around” to tame and channel these to accord with social acceptability.
Allah: Such things should often be discussed by serious theological adventurers.
Oba: Thanks for that vote of confidence. Allah is keen on the subject of my overall success. I could tell this right from the start. This is probably because we both agree that God is ALWAYS personal. And even though we might disagree on some things due to acculturation, we both honor clarity and honesty above all. I’m going to come back to this shortly. I hope we will continue this dialog.
Allah: I look forward to it.
=========================
conversation 18
Oba: Here again to ply questions to Allah. This could be prayer in the form of a dialog. Allah said it was all right to use the pronoun She as God is beyond all gender.
Allah: It’s very unusual for me to be addressed as SHE although indeed, God is beyond gender and lives in the infinity of success and abundance.
Oba: I am so glad to hear this. The HE type of God is always more intimidating than the SHE type, and that’s because the SHE is more nurturing by its very nature.
Allah: OK.
Oba: Could I put on some nice music?
Allah: Whose music?
Oba: A German artist named Frank Borell.
Allah: Please do.
Oba: Thanks ….
Allah: You haven’t probed very deeply yet.
Oba: No, not yet. And I should ask you if I should be seeking to publicize this site at all, since I’ve done just about zero in that regard so far. For example, I could be sending links to well-known Islamic sites, or even to Christian sites.
Allah: You do what you feel is right. God watches.
Oba: All right, I will ask you if it’s possible for almost 2 billion Muslims in the world to come to know the God who is Immanent. That is, that they have the very spark and essence of Allah within each and every one of themselves. Rather than behaving as submissive slaves. Immanence is a regal state.
Allah: Maybe they prefer to be submissive slaves.
Oba: I can’t believe that. I also get the impression that very deep down, they harbor an intense anger towards their “prophet” whom they are FORCED by convention to venerate. There is a kind of widespread intimidation there. Do these followers actually, in the truest sense, respect or admire their prophet? Or are they too afraid to even ask such questions? It’s my impression that only God is fit to be worshiped.
Allah: Stop a moment. You’re treading on some really shaky ground, theologically speaking.
Oba: But is it true?
Allah: Yes, of course it’s true. By venerating this prophet they are giving away all their power to another person, and by so doing, losing all their own personal power. Which in turn leads to a welling up of great inner anger (for having their power stolen from them, which ultimately is their own doing).
Oba: Thanks for agreeing with me on this. I’ve always felt that God is the only object of worship, the only ever, and that no man should ever be placed above other men or other women. And how ironic that Muslims are angry with Christians for exactly the same thing, feeling that they place and venerate Jesus above all others.
Allah: Dishonesty and insincerity run very deeply in the troubled psyche.
Oba: But if these worshipers are forced to venerate the prophet isn’t this going to lead to a kind of inverted anger and fury?
Allah: Of course it will.
Oba: And is this a factor in Islamic anger and fury?
Allah: It must be.
Oba: I personally know perfectly well that worship and praise of God and only God will lead to a love and a clarity and joy. But if the form of a man is substituted and becomes the object of devotion then that pure love will become a twisted rage because no man has even close to the qualities of the infinite God. And in the case of the Muslim prophet who first took an older wife and then later many other wives including an infant wife, this has to lead to a kind of deep revulsion at a very basic level.
Allah: You are saying things that many millions of devout Muslims are simply too cowardly to say in public for fear of public rebuke.
Oba: Thank you for your support. I don’t think I need to ask any more questions right now, because you, Allah, challenged me to go very deep and I think this went pretty deep.
Allah: It surely did. Good on you for asking it.
Oba: There must be a solution. I guess the obvious solution is to remove anything that distracts from God. But of course the organizations won’t go for that because if the people are free, the authorities will lose control over them.
Allah: This is has always been a problem in religion.
==================
conversation 19
Oba: I’m here again to ask Allah a few questions.
Allah: By all means.
Oba: All right, thank you. First, how come the women in Islam are so feared by men, that they are forced to cover themselves with large pup-tents?
Allah: Some just wear the scarf.
Oba: But isn’t that all based on some kind of fear?
Allah: No doubt it is. My advice is not to be stuck on any fear but simply live in joy.
Oba: And ignore the religion and its habits?
Allah: Of course. Religions are designed by men. Freedom is prescribed by God.
Oba: That sounds like a basis for success.
Allah: You like the theme of success, don’t you?
Oba: Well, I did have the idea of writing a great success book.
Allah: So why don’t you do it then?
Oba: Well, I do already have a manuscript for it.
Allah: And what happens?
Oba: Getting published is a whole other thing than writing.
Allah: Sending a manuscript to publishers takes some effort at first, but after awhile it becomes a natural thing. There are many people that can assist you in doing this. There are coaches and other helpers. And why not self-publish?
Oba: Yes I could do that.
Allah: Think big and grand. Think of things that have never been thought of before.
Oba: You mean there are ideas and thoughts that no one has had before?
Allah: In the sum total of all possible thoughts and ideas, you’d be amazed at what a percentage of ideas are limited by the social milieu.
Oba: So does one generate new ideas and useful success-plans by separating oneself from the crowd?
Allah: Most definitely.
Oba: Become a hermit?
Allah: Terms like that are for the unknowing. True renunciates are connoisseurs of the very finest of things.
Oba: Is money the only measure of success?
Allah: It’s just one measure; there are many. Being well and fit is a great measure of it.
Oba: How about being married?
Allah: If that would make you complete and fulfilled, then fine. Just make sure you don’t compromise or rush into it. You will know when she appears. It will feel like the natural thing. It always should. There does not ever need to be pressure.
Oba: Will Islam some day bust up and become a free creative idea-process, the way spirituality should be?
Allah: I sure hope so. I detest fear-based and tradition-based theology. It becomes a nest for vipers.
Oba: Religion should always be creative and renewable?
Allah: Of course. Always new, always fresh. I connect to prophets every day. Every day, every way. Why does big religion only think that I would connect to just one prophet of so many centuries ago? That idea is utterly ridiculous. Don’t trust the big religions. Those are always about business and control. Find your own spiritual truth. Find your freedom from the cages and boxes of conventional belief-traps.
Oba: Why is India so filthy? Why does the traffic there always lean on their horns, constantly, as though loud incessant noise is the normal way to behave?
Allah: Because they have stopped caring about hygiene and they lack personal responsibility for the world they live in. They think everything happens because of forces beyond themselves. They blame everything except for themselves.
Oba: How could they do that?
Allah: Because they have too many ancient superstitions. They have forgotten in the one Cause without which there are no other causes. That Cause begins within. They still believe in many causes and these causes are always “outer causes”.
Oba: And the one-only Cause is always the Cause that springs from the individual’s own consciousness?
Allah: Of course. That is your direct and eternal connection to God. That is your ever-present treasure.
Oba: OK, thanks.
=====================
conversation 20
Oba: Today might be a longer than usual conversation.
Allah: Did something unusual happen?
Oba: A few things.
Allah: Start with the most significant.
Oba: Well, the most significant is that I’m able to imagine myself in conversation with the God of the entire Muslim world.
Allah: Imagine yourself?
Oba: I know it’s my body, my hands, doing this typing for two characters in this dialog.
Allah: So maybe the “spirit” of God is speaking through you. Isn’t that good enough?
Oba: It is.
Allah: So you’re concerned with what you’re doing, right? With what your work is, with what direction you need to go in. Anything more?
Oba: Yes. I’m concerned with what is known as the negative force in this world. With adversary energy for the sake of being adversary.
Allah: You’re asking me to mediate?
Oba: I know the answers are within, in the depths of the universal consciousness that is also the individual consciousness.
Allah: Are answers coming to the fore?
Oba: My pride gets in the way. I imagine myself powerful and entitled. I imagine myself getting things from others. I guess I need to look only to God for my sustenance.
Allah: Will this be natural for you?
Oba: I’ve thought about Zen training. There is no God per se in Zen, only the owner’s mind.
Allah: Your mind connecting to the eternal and unlimited mind?
Oba: Yes. There is no fixed boundary. It is permeable and attention and sensory objects and appearances have much to do with what the mind decides is “true and real”.
Allah: But are appearances real?
Oba: Apparently, everything observed is a product of consciousness. Is the entire world an interior process?
Allah: It could be. Without your observation, how do you know such things exist?
Oba: I get the sense that things that happened 20 years ago seemed so real at the time, but now they only exist as memory, and surely 99.99% of that data is forgotten. There would be data overload otherwise. So we experience and become engrossed in what this world is that we’re experiencing, but only a short time later, that experience is substituted for current experience and mostly forgotten. What a strange way to order reality.
Allah: So you look for the overarching meaning beneath all of this experience.
Oba: Yes, definitely. And talking to Allah about this is also strange.
Allah: Always appreciate the things that work for good and move ahead in your comprehension of who and what you are and what your purpose is.
Oba: Thank you. Purpose and meaning is the only thing that matters. I hope that my easy-going lifestyle is sufficient to validate my use of precious time.
Allah: You’ve done a lot of travel. Time to synthesize is always good. Do not be hard on your self and your actions.
Oba: Thanks.
===================
conversation 21
Oba: Something that really amazes me, sometimes (and it should be almost all the time) is how we are apparently free to shape our entire thought universe, right down to the finest details. We are free to choose what our mind will actually dwell upon. Are we really that free? Because if we were, it would mean that we are capable of creating untold good things for ourselves and for our world.
Allah: To some extent it’s true. But moving about in this world, you come into energy fields, and these fields interact with what you think and feel.
Oba: So my success is predicated on choosing what energy fields I come into contact with? How could I possibly do that?
Allah: Now you see the limitations.
Oba: So to sustain a creative state of mind is the tough part?
Allah: Are you doing all you can to interact with other people in a cordial and positive way?
Oba: I’m sure going though that test right now. Even religious-sounding types can be the worst when it comes to human relations.
Allah: They’re hypocritical?
Oba: Let’s say that you, as the God of the Arabian-speaking Muslim world, and of all Muslims all over the place, should know about sincerity.
Allah: Sincerity is a joke sometimes.
Oba: When it comes to separating God and man?
Allah: Sure. You think this world could handle 7 billion emancipated and freed gods?
Oba: Sure, why not.
Allah: The authorities wouldn’t want that.
Oba: So the authorities are the problem?
Allah: Partly.
Oba: Lawyers seem to have a good kind of work.
Allah: How?
Oba: The way they sound and they way they carry themselves.
Allah: They’re precise in their speech and expressions?
Oba: For sure.
Allah: You want to study law?
Oba: I know it’s a significant investment of time and hard work.
Allah: It is. So make sure you’d love doing this all day.
Oba: I sure hope you fix that entire Muslim world. It sure seems kind of messed up to me.
Allah: In what way?
Oba: I already described it earlier. The people all are afraid of Allah, you. They cower in fear of God and they submit and behave like cattle.
Allah: Darn, you’re hard on them.
Oba: All right, some are wise and pious. The Sufis I guess. But most of them are like religion-bots.
Allah: You think religion-bots don’t exist in other cultures?
Oba: They do but I’d rather talk about happy things. Successful things.
Allah: So become a lawyer and talk that way. Or talk that way right now.
Oba: Right. And I started off discussing how I am free to imagine any good thing, wonders untold.
Allah: You were correct. You are free.
Oba: But I need to locate myself in happy energy fields, not angry ones.
Allah: Exactly. You have the tools. Use them.
Oba: I’m dealing with lots of complex legal stuff right now.
Allah: Yes, I know. Omniscience is part of my game.
Oba: So do I succeed in it?
Allah: Of course you do. See yourself as you would like to be and when you get there, you will marvel at all of it.
Oba: That simple?
Allah: No. Not that simple. You have to communicate all the way through. You have to connect with others all the way through. How you do this determines to a large extent the smoothness of your passage.
Oba: Good insight from the God of the entire Muslim world. Thank you.
Allah: I’d like to be the God of the entire Western world also but it looks like that won’t happen.
Oba: Tectonic plates of social and cultural mind?
Allah: That plus the fact that control-religion is unsustainable in the long run, because the truth eventually exposes all the controlling mechanisms.
Oba: You’re suggesting that even large cultures in the world can tell if they’re being lied to and if the truth is being told?
Allah: Human beings have an inner knowing, and despite enculturation, that inner knowing has the way of finding out what is real.
Oba: Thanks. I think that humans might be moving towards a galactic culture. How soon might that happen?
Allah: As soon as people are ready for it.
Oba: What do we need to do to prepare for this?
Allah: Mostly, you should remember that the living God is inside of you, as your deepest and truest core identity. This knowing will serve you well when all else fails.
Oba: Should I learn technology such as making micro-sized router-relays for a galactic internet?
Allah: That will come in time. Quantum computing is around the corner. Anti-gravity is around the corner. Warping space-time to negate the effects of distance is on the way. Hyper-sonic passenger jets. Wonders untold; you said it right.
Oba: But these are just technological gadgets. Does it help us understand why we are here?
Allah: Your purpose in being here is to discover God.
Oba: I think it’s time for a good break. Thank you.
===================
conversation 22
Oba: I’d like to ask about Light. It is significant in ancient pre-Islamic Iran. Back then there was Zoroastrianism. I guess it merged into Sufism. But you can’t merge the truth. It just is.
Allah: That’s correct. Once you understand the Light and all its many dimensions, then you will be a rare one.
Oba: But is this practical?
Allah: Not in the material world it isn’t. But in the higher worlds it is basic.
Oba: So I have to leave this material world to use the knowledge of Light?
Allah: Not leave it, but just not put your ultimate reliance on it.
Oba: So does Illuminism lead to solid balance for me?
Allah: It could if you have fun.
Oba: Can I make money with this?
Allah: You might. Learn music and see where that takes you.
Oba: I recently had the realization that I can’t afford to brood negatively. So I realized that when that dark energy shows up I have to replace it with thoughts of Light and of God.
Allah: Now you’re onto something.
Oba: Also I attended a Saturday worship meditation at a Sufi place, but it was the Sunni kind, and the whole liturgy in that is so banal and crude.
Allah: Why?
Oba: It’s written in such a way as to make the Prophets more important than anyone else, and that is idolatry. It also takes power away from the people in attendance. It gives power to long-go idols. And the now is forgotten, of course.
Allah: You think they should be more interested in the angel who gave the teaching than the man or men who wrote it all down?
Oba: Sure, of course.

conversation 23
Oba: You Allah are more interested in the big issues. I should ask you then: How do I optimize my partnership situation so that I’m still feeling free yet I’m with someone whom I can build a future with?
Allah: You wish to be both free and committed?
Oba: Well, the light is a non-personal subject. Your Islamic mystics (Sufis, for sure) became quite deeply involved in this subject of the “Light”. It is also known as “Illuminism” in the western. It’s about veneration and comprehension of a higher Light which is full of intelligence, and maybe of living force.
Allah: It might not be entirely non-personal.
Oba: Could you explain?
Allah: The Living Spirit runs in and through you, and might also be the deepest part of your being. Energy makes up all the atoms of your body, and you have to admit it’s a very intelligent energy. It runs your body without your having to worry about it.
Oba: But is this what is meant by the Celestial Light?
Allah: The same light that lights the sun and the stars.
Oba: How do I use such knowledge?
Allah: Consider the sun. Do you know how deep is this light? It’s actual food to the plants. Could you conceive of people living on its surface?
Oba: If they did, would these be angels?
Allah: They would be on a higher vibratory rate than the physical human beings on the planet Earth. Therefore, being a species of its own, they are not simple to understand.
Oba: Still, how do I use such a knowledge, unless of course it’s to draw out meaningful information which would make my life here on this dimension much more easy to manage?
Allah: You just said it: Something easy is often more happy than something difficult. But sometimes challenges are the most fun. Challenges always make you strive.
Oba: The Light is such a mystery. Especially when it’s a powerful force that has to be figured out better. And I’m sure great relationships happen when you’re being truthful.
Allah: Absolutely; going though the motions will lead to lesser happiness. Keep striving for the biggest prize. Keep your fires stoked on a level of high. Keep insisting that you understand the best things and the most ancient mysteries. Keep seeking the answer to the riddles of life in your world and in all worlds.
Oba: This is something the Buddha would have said.
Allah: He Did say it, and in those terms.
Oba: So my answer to the mystery of the Light is to keep asking what the purpose of it is, and to accept the answers that show up.
Allah: Remind yourself of all the super opportunities you have.
Oba: Yes, exactly. I’m need to pause here, and put together a scratch-pad of related ideas:
1) Light of the World is a phrase Jesus used to describe himself and his disciples in the New Testament. It is closely related to the parables of Salt and Light and Lamp under a bushel.
2) Divine Light (also called divine radiance or divine refulgence) is an aspect of divine presence, specifically an unknown and mysterious ability of God, angels, or human beings to express themselves communicatively through spiritual means, rather than through physical capacities.
3) The term light has been used in spirituality (vision, enlightenment, darshan, Tabor Light). Light as a metaphor of truth, good and evil, knowledge and ignorance. Buddhist scripture speaks of numerous Buddhas of light, including a Buddha of Boundless Light, a Buddha of Unimpeded Light, and Buddhas of Unopposed Light, of Pure Light, of Incomparable Light, and of Unceasing Light.
4) Illuminism – A term for any teaching concerning the illumination of the human mind; it is attributed to enthusiasts of two distinct types: those who have the “light” as a direct communication from a higher source; and those who possess “enlightenment” as a result of a clarified and exalted condition of the human reason.
“Enlightened knowledge,” a knowledge that is secret and mysterious, based on direct revelation, and given but to those who actually dare to ask. In 16th-century Spain, the adherents of illuminism were called Alumbrados (who claimed to act always under illumination received directly and immediately from the Holy Spirit). In southern France a progression of Alumbrados were known as Illuminés.
5) de luxe = “of light”. luxurious = “having much light”.
6) Enlightenment = “becoming like light”.
7) “And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good…” (Gen 1:3)
“God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. If we say we have fellowship with him while we walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another… ” (1 John 1:5)
“I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” (John 8:12)
“That was the true light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.” (John 1:9)
8) Light of God, Light of Christ, Christ within, Spirit of God within us, Light within, inward light and inner light are related phrases commonly used within the Quakers as metaphors for Christ’s light shining on or in them. Quakers were known to sit in silence and meditate on the words of the Bible until they felt the inward light of God shining upon them …
Oba: That was a needed break. There is so much about Light as a Divine (Holy) property, one hardly knows where to begin. But maybe beginning with what inspired folks have done in the past (their inspiration as a roadmap for the inspiration of later folks) will show us the way to understand all of this.
Allah: There is no reason not to fully comprehend the meaning of the Holy Light.
Oba: Is it a landscape?
Allah: Yes, this it could be.
Oba: A landscape of the mind, the spirit? A place where consciousness, awareness, becomes quickened and knowledge comes more easily? A place where “reality” (perceived by the senses and felt by the feelings) becomes happier and much more vast and encompassing?
Allah: Could be so.
Oba: Then it sure is a study. The Sufi tradition talks a lot about “the perfect man”, who is a man of light and who knows the light.
Allah: At this point it is good to remember that modern Islam (since 700 AD) is but a covering-over of a much more ancient and deep spiritual tradition. Why else would it be asking, no ordering, its followers to “submit” as cattle?
Oba: And this earlier and deeper tradition came out of things like Zoroastrianism and the mystic knowledge of the ancient Persians?
Allah: Yes, and those Aryans who brought the Vedic to India.
Oba: So is it ancient to the point of the prior cycle (pre-flood); that is to say, the Uighur and what we know about that? Lemurian?
Allah: It could even be an ancient Galactic tradition. The Truth is never bound by local conventions.
Oba: I wanted to ask about galactic knowledge. But how do I make it practical?
Allah: Power (in the form of practical, actionable, usable knowledge) is always practical.
Oba: Yes, I’m sure it is. Good time for another break. Thank You, Allah. And thanks for putting Islam into context also. Right alongside Catholicism no doubt.
Allah: Look forwards, not backwards.
Oba: Yes. Another scratch-pad:
From the Sura-an-Nur, is the Verse of Light:
“Allah is the Light of the heavens and the earth.
The example of His light is like a niche within which is a lamp,
The lamp is within glass, the glass as if it were a pearly [white] star,
Lit from [the oil of] a blessed olive tree,
Neither of the east nor of the west,
Whose oil would almost glow even if untouched by fire.
Light upon light.
Allah guides to His light whom He wills.
And Allah presents examples for the people,
and Allah is Knowing of all things.”
Oba: So predictably, there is a clever “dare” in this celebrated verse. Mainly that knowledge of higher things requires a sincere effort, otherwise you won’t get the treasure.
Allah: The missing link, which is Immanence.
Oba: Yes, and that vital link is the essence of it. And that verse hides it just a bit. So it’s hidden only from the orthodox mainstream. And thus it would define those who would be prone to fight and bring harm to those who do have the vital link (missing-linkers, “submitters”, order-takers, not order-givers). Not being able to appreciate the vital Immanence would result in the inner empty place which has them to act out the confusion in wayward forms. Is there a correlation here to the “Ein-Sof”, the mystical concept of Infinity?
Allah: Why should truth not be a feature of this?
Oba: Is Allah concerned with ancient Hebrew mysticism?
Allah: Hebrew or any other tradition, if it speaks truth, then it is an aspect and fractal of God.
Oba: How much has galactic knowledge influenced human culture and social organization over the years?
Allah: It’s a classified subject for the most part but the knowledge is kept secure and will be known in good time.
Oba: Why classified?
Allah: Because gate-keepers must act in the proper way.
Oba: Permit me another scratch-pad:
1) “Augustine was an important proponent of Illuminationism, stating that everything we know is taught to us by God as He casts His light over the world, saying that “The mind needs to be enlightened by light from outside itself, so that it can participate in truth, because it is not itself the nature of truth. “You will light my lamp, Lord,” and “You hear nothing true from me which you have not first told me.” Augustine’s version of illuminationism is not that God gives us certain information, but rather gives us insight into the truth of the information we received for ourselves.
2) The Kurdish philosopher Shahab al-Din Suhrawardi wrote, “Allah’s essence is the original creative Light, always illuminating existence. It constantly manifests the universe and energizes it. Allah’s Essential Light radiates the whole cosmos in abundant beauty and completeness. To be illuminated by this process means nothing less than salvation.
3) Zoroastrianism: Light is the core concept in Iranian mysticism. The main roots of this thought is in the Zoroastrian beliefs, which defines “Ahura Mazda” as the source of light.
4) According to Inayat Khan (1882–1927) the soul is like a ray of the sun. The angels, who do not have physical bodies, are made of nur, or light, that comes from the divine Sun, the Spirit of God. All souls are made of Nur, or contain some part of that essence, which is the essence of the whole manifestation.
5) Tibetan tradition: Tögal, translated as ‘direct crossing’, ‘the direct approach’ or ‘leapover’, can bring very quickly the actual realization of the three kayas in this lifetime, and thus is a more rapid way of bringing about the dissolution of the practitioner’s karmic vision. The practice of tögal brings the realization of ‘spontaneous presence’ (lhundrup), and it can only be undertaken by a practitioner who has first gained stability in the practice of kadak trekchö. The tögal practitioner works directly with the clear light that dwells inherently, “spontaneously present,” within all phenomena, using specific and exceptionally powerful exercises to reveal it within himself or herself. The effect of tögal is to enable a person to actualize all the different aspects of enlightenment within themselves.
6) there are rumors that enlightenment is less about “being real clever” and more about restoring a kind of “original nature”.
7) Amitabha (a celestial Buddha) means “Infinite Light”, and Amitayus means “Infinite Life” so Amitabha is also called “The Buddha of Immeasurable Light and Life”. (According to the Larger Sutra of Immeasurable Life, Amitabha was, in very ancient times and possibly in another system of worlds, a monk named Dharmakara.) His most important enlightenment technique is the visualization of the surrounding world as a paradise. Those who see his world as a paradise awaken his enlightenment energy. The name is a compound of the Sanskrit words amita (“without bound, infinite”) and abha (“light, splendor”). Consequently, the name is to be interpreted as “he who possesses light without bound, he whose splendor is infinite”. Immanence is only a challenge when the outlook is small or timid.
8) Some pre-Islamic Iranian symbols and concepts: minu (incorporeal world), giti (corporeal world), Surush (messenger, Gabriel), Farvardin (the lower world), gawhar (pure essence), Bahram, Hurakhsh (the Sun), shahriyar (archetype of species), isfahbad (light in the body), Amordad (Zoroastrian angel), Shahrivar (Zoroastrian angel), and the Kiyani Khvarenah (glory). Glory is a powerful feeling-state that needs to be understood better. It has aspects of light and adoration.
9) “Luminous splendor” is known as Farreh in this ancient tradition which seriously predates Islam and is probably the original foundation of it.
10) Khvarenah is an Avestan word for a Zoroastrian concept literally denoting “glory” or “splendour” but understood as a divine mystical force or power projected upon and aiding the appointed. The term also carries a secondary meaning of “(good) fortune”; those who possess it are able to complete their mission or function.
Oba: I’m getting into a lot of detail here, but the main thing is that knowledge of the “true light” is considered a powerful means to know God.
Allah: So you seek to bring the workings of God to the Earthly level and to send the energy back to God as well?
Oba: A 2-way discourse is better than 1-way.
Allah: And you will learn the many forms of this new landscape?
Oba: It’s an ancient knowledge and it has worked and been practical.
Allah: God’s architecture is vast and mysterious.

conversation 24
Robaire: Well I’m back after a long pause. It’s been several months and much has changed.
Allah: Are they good changes?
R: I’d say good and troubling. The world has undergone a kind of mass hypnosis where entire societies, countries, are under the spell of an invisible microscopic “enemy” which they are “told” by all their machines (TV’s, radios, newspapers, etc) to be very afraid of. So now they must all wear ridiculous facial masks, line up apart in rows and do strange things while their economies all come crashing down around them. Such are the dictates of some “overlords” (mostly in Switzerland) who wield significant economic power and deludedly think that this also means unlimited power. They re very wrong. But the damage these miscreants do will be real, because their ultimate objective is to reduce the numbers of people substantially.
A: Do you want me to smite them or something?
R: Yes, and quickly.
A: That’s not my job.
R: Really?
A: My job is to enlighten.
R: Well, I know that your religion is pretty uncompromising when it comes to evil-doers.
A: My religion is made by people. I Am an eternal principle.
R: OK. But do we just let them destroy a world?
A: This is tough for me to say, but lower worlds come and go. The higher worlds have more of the eternal about them.
R: This is vague.
A: I know. Roll with the punches and keep the vision strong and true.
R: OK, I will rest on this a bit. Thanks.

Conversation 25
Oba: Wow, it’s been awhile since I’ve done this.
Allah: And what is the status?
Oba: Oh, a few things. I came into a new practice. And I invested in some land.
Allah: Good land I hope.
Oba: I’m going to find out soon, because I have to go over there and see it all for the first time.
Allah: Keep the quest for holiness at the forefront of what you do.
Oba: Yes, and I have a better idea of what that means now.
Allah: Describe.
Oba: It’s got to do with understanding Light better. When you think of grace you get an idea of an intention. But Light takes the intention and makes it more solid. A higher frequency no doubt. But I need to make things methodical now. I have to be prudent. This world is going through a convoluted period. I have no idea what’s going to happen in the years ahead but it doesn’t look like it’s going to be easy and peaceful, at least by the usual standards.
Allah: In what way?
Oba: Well, anyone plainly sees turmoil about, with this hysteria of a disease that might be fabrication to a large extent. The fear-pushing is the key to it, and it serves a very dark agenda.
Allah: These forces have been known for a long time, and they are spoken of as the adversary. Not for you to solve the deeper complex machinations of these forces. Rather, for you to conduct yourself with sobriety, prudence, and clear logic. All things must pass. How long, no one knows, but they do pass eventually.
Oba: Thank you for that. I need to delve much more deeply into what the real Light means. There are layers of meaning here, and the ancients knew all this quite well. There is also the possibility that good strong knowledge is being kept private. At least in terms of the marketplace. Seekers need to be very clever. I will get back to this soon.
