DESCRIPTION
This is the fourth draft of Who and Why 'We' - The Seekers - Are. The metaphysical journey we embark on when we move into the title of Seeker, who the Seeker is and how they fit into the 'We', we all are part of.TRANSCRIPT
1 Who and Why 'We' – The Active Seekers – Are Fourth Draft
The title of this first Sermon is Who and Why ‘We’ – The Active Seekers – Are. In asking, Who
‘We’ – The Active Seekers – are, I am determining our minds towards an already known yet
somehow unexpressed reality. A reality simmering underneath the delusional state, that which
we might call our perfectly absent minded surface personality, a reality little known in these
times, a reality criminalized by the greatest threat to Human life today, To expose it, therefore,
would be to shock the mind and provoke doubt – a deep inner turmoil contrasting that external
surface personality and its true relation to our innermost cord, our soul portion – so dangerous is
this threat of inner turmoil to the surface personality, that we – acting on its behalf, acting to
prolong its existence, have developed mechanisms, or more appropriately, we have had
mechanisms developed for our consumption, to aid us in avoiding the process we must undergo
to transform our external personalities in a way which aligns it with our internal soul portion
Thus, for this reason, I must slowly groom your mind to accept what your surface personality has
been conditioned to hide – who you, the “Seeker” are, and why you, the “Seeker”, are seeking.
Now the answer to, Who “We”, the Active Seekers are is difficult to grasp for ‘We’, as a term
has been misconstrued, manipulated and defined overzealously for the benefit of invisible and
very stern masters who aim to hide the Seekers path from the eyes ‘who doth know they Seek it’.
2 As a whole, ‘We’ as individuals, as groups composed of individuals, have been taught to see our
social order from an atomized level. Power flows from the single cellular person, we are told.
Life begins and ends with the desires held within the loyal customer, we are assured. Yet Society
is not an instrument of atoms, it is not a current set ablaze by scatter brained automatons who in
less sane moments spring to collective order impressing some great character onto their
surrounding structures, only to fall helplessly back into isolation as soon as the moment passes.
No, Society is not constructed in this manner, it is a living organism, a common-union –
communion – of spiritual essence comprised of other living organisms filled with spiritual
essence. It is this essence that binds the individual to that which makes them in-divisible. As
Seekers, this age requires the Will to Empower the Soul; a Willfulness to Esteem the
Personality; a Will to Envision and In-vibe Power, if one cannot perform these tasks or at
minimum make strides towards them, then all potential of living a meaningful life will be
lost. The Individual Seeker, must now today, become a Seeker In-Divisible from that which
created the Seeker.
We move now to the reality of the word ‘We’, a word demanding uniformity on its most
base level, it confers similarities on other levels and imprints conformity, still on another level.
‘We’ is such a broad term an explanation is demanded to contextual its meaning. There are four
3 primary levels we must concern ourselves with, ‘We’ is firstly individual, it is molecular in
statute, as a structure rather solid, liquid or atmospheric, ‘We’ is comprised of molecules and
atoms; or, in a more socially metaphorical way, “We” is comprised of beings divided from other
beings or persons divided from other persons. ‘We’ at this level is inseparable from the
individual or the singular concept of living, it is life breathed into the body of one person, it is
the singular heartbeat vibrating a song lonesomely, without a choir surrounding it. This is ‘We’
at the basic level, yet one person cannot be ‘We’ so at this level ‘We’ is multiple ‘me’s’ in a
given area, ‘me’s’ communicating little and resonating together even less; at this level ‘We’ is
only ‘me’ then ‘you’ and still other ‘yous’, I am separated from you indefinitely, forever and
always. Now once this singular lonesomeness is breached, ‘We’ becomes greater than ‘me’,
‘We’ becomes ‘us’, it becomes ‘me’ plus ‘you’ and ‘you’ plus other ‘yous’; by changing merely
one word, then to plus, ‘We’ becomes a new formula, a new formation, it becomes
interconnected, it becomes binding yet from an individual level, here ‘We’ is still atomistic, but
each atom is compelled to respond to the others around it. At this level, ‘We’ becomes a
grouping of atoms arranged methodically – a formula with purpose; here ‘We’ is established
because each plus has significance. ‘Me’ plus ‘you’ equals something more worthy then ‘me’
and ‘you’ alone. ‘Me’ plus ‘you’ plus other ‘yous’ similarly equals something greater, more
4 worthy then ‘you’ plus ‘me’ alone and in establishing these connections, ‘We’ form an ‘Us’
where ‘I’ am equal to the sum total of ‘me’ plus ‘you’ plus other ‘yous’ – at this second level,
‘We’ as groupings of indviduals form something uniformed but definitively unique, a formula
formation commonly called a family.
At the third level, ‘We’ is more precisely defined, our formula is expanded beyond ‘me’
plus ‘you’ plus other ‘yous’. ‘We’ becomes a definable ‘Us’ plus other relatable ‘Us’s’
multiplied by ‘Us’s’ similarly structured yet not related. At this level, ‘We’ becomes organized,
molded and sculpted into a more recognizable structure, our molecule adopts not only a purpose
but yields conforming to that purpose to embrace something greater than themselves, the
molecule as part of a cell becomes intricate in the operation of a leaf attached to a mighty tree.
Socially ‘We’ becomes tribal, cultural, nationalistic; the individuals responding to each other
pick up traits from each other and form a structure through which energy can be conducted
easily. Family’s join other Families, forming a new stronger, more stable construct for survival;
at this level ‘We’ transforms from a noun to a verb, it is active here not based solely on personal
identity, the attached labels at this third level are neither conferred nor accepted, but they are
recognizable in formality via custom and tradition. At this level differences appear, differences
running deeper than skin and generational allegiances appear, here ‘We’ becomes both the
5 indistinguishable ‘I’ as collective noun, the ‘We’ as ‘Us’ multiplied to encompass all those
identifying similarly with our ‘Us’; and the repulsive ‘You’ or the ‘We’ as ‘They’ multiplied to
encompass all those not-identifying similarly with ‘Me’.
At the fourth level, ‘We’ becomes ‘Us’ raised to the ‘X’ power, multiplied by other
‘Us’s’ raised to the ‘X’ power. ‘We’ becomes trimensional, ‘We’ becomes ‘Me’ plus ‘you’ plus
other ‘yous’ raised by other ‘yous’ no longer living; ‘We’ becomes a complex ‘Us’ formula
involving ‘Greats’, ‘Steps’, ‘Firsts’ and ‘Seconds’, alongside ‘Transitioned’ and ‘Ancestral’
inclusions; ‘Us’ now are raised by the imprinting of the ‘Us’ who came before and who live
apart from those we see daily. However at this level ‘We’ is not simply this. ‘We’ is ‘Ours’ and
‘Theirs’ similarly raised by Transitioned Power, by Ancestral influence. ‘We’ is ‘Us’ raised
multiplied by other ‘Us’s’ raised multiplied still by more ‘Us’s’ raised. ‘We’ here, is a mesh, a
crisscrossing matrix of comingling life-force forming, reforming and deforming existing ‘We’
configurations to create or erect more stable, more complete and much more Holistic or
Balanced combinations. This is the Godspark within here, the need for change and stability, all
together, all at once.
Beyond this level, lies another level of ‘We’, a level not constricted to Earth nor fully
formulated here. At this level, ‘We’ is spiritual, and more broadly Soulestial, it is the elemental
6 compound at the root of every Soul; ‘We’ is in essence the collective memory, collective energy
and function of each cell, ‘We’ is the interlocking code, the braiding within the being, uniting
external cultural impressions with the inner-workings charging the soul, the spirit, the mind – the
being as a whole. ‘We’ is the vibrational imprinting necessitating life and growth, and death and
rest. Whereas cultural influences is, seemingly imported from an outside source, the spiritual
comes from the Soul’s decision to conform to imported commands. At this level ‘We’ forms a
close nit ‘Me’ which is inclusive more of everything under creations sun then at any other level
prior. ‘We’ is ‘Me’, ‘Us’, ‘They’ and the ‘I’ unknown. The brilliant innerconnectiveness of life is
within our very soul here and ‘We’ becomes the minimized ‘I’s’ focus as the ‘I’ sees life within
as having value only if the life without is well lived. Reaching this perception of ‘We’ is the
Seekers underlying motive, therefore, the extent to which we can appreciate the first, second,
third and fourth levels of the ‘We’ concept, the more closer our ability to navigate the path will
be, for the complexity in the word ‘We’ is derived from the misrepresentation and
misunderstanding of these levels and how they relate to a person’s development and
interaction with the world.
From the fourth level downward the internal influential impulses required to responsibly
accept ‘We’ as a distinct formula, an ‘I’ form allotting a Personal reality meriting both singular
7 soul growth and collective spiritual growth, becomes foggier, as our impulses are guided by a
current conceptualization which compresses ‘We’ into categories seemingly moved by personal
mandates but in reality divorced entirely from internal demands for independence, however our
ability to see the phrase differently than previously taught will alleviate present confusion over
its relevance to our life. This will in turn enable us to see our connection to ‘We’ both
individually and non-individually, revealing our multi-level dependence on its existence, thus
allowing each person to reconstruct and reconstitute their relation to the world – this is an
intimidating thought at first, the idea of overhauling our relation to the world and each other is an
uneasy idea, but it need not be for our core soul is demanding such an overhaul at this time,
when looked at through a process, through a logical unfolding, this change is not intimidating at
all but wholly natural sounding. However journeys are seldom as easy as they appear, any elder
who has traversed this process, who has moved consciously through the Seekers Path will attest
to this; therefore to truly see this process, to truly see this path we must move through its many
facets, beginning with the decision and the processes involved in crafting that decision before
moving on to the process unfolding around and inside the individual as they move through the
Seeker’s Path.
8 The mind is the general instrument of persuasion – either the psyche, that branch of
cognitive, thinking reasoning all the great European scientists assume is the highest form of
maturity, or the ego, the superimposed structure interrupting the reasoning process, informs the
bodies willingness to conform to the demands before it. In today’s hyperactive seductive world,
many unfortunate influences are aimed at changing the natural determining processes – the
common sense processes – already included and embedded in a person’s psyche. There in the
psyche, processes, seek to either implode data or insert new data into pre-existing programming,
wherefrom the psyche can be driven automatically by symbols or phrases to produce some
action, usually an involuntary action which a person would then mistake for authentic willful
action. Cognitive stirring or Ego tripping, Ego driving or Ego inflating, are the names given to
this infective practice. Through these ploys, these marketing, advertisements and promotional
intrusions, our natural cognitive, intuitive, mental, emotional and spiritual resources are
confused, they are entangled and the Soulestial Being is acculturated, into believing the Ego or
Self, the mask the Soul wears to protect its true Visage, the mask it sheds through maturation, we
are made to see the Mask as truth and that which is behind the Mask, the Soul as false. We are
made to trust the Ego for direction and distrust the Soul’s guidance, this confuses our tendencies
as energy coming from the soul is constricted or obstructed thus weakening its ability to motivate
9 our entire Being towards cohesive ends; through this constriction our perception becomes
limited; we began to respond rather than react; we are then compelled through feeling entirely to
see the gut responsibly and the heart, the seat of the soul, regressively. Internal visions detract, a
dark lens permeates, falling over every action we make and a mental box is constructed – our
conscious minds, our soul thinking intuition, is looked at suspiciously, deceptively even, it is
distrusted; while the machinations created externally for us, those counter-cultural currents, used
to disrupt our conscious minds inner-workings, those elements inserted to usurp the souls ability
to perceive, are now latently held close, followed blindly and, deeply embedded in our
subconscious and we see then, this new mind state, this new subconscious mind state as
honorable, soulful and respectful, allowing it to control, direct and alter every aspect of our
being, our thoughts, our habits, our speech, our dreams and the like; this new state possesses us
completely, usurping our decoding, interpretive faculties uniting our spiritual resources into one
stream of coherency.
To accommodate this possession, we give up our Souls will power and in that deliberate
act, we fall victim to the mystifying fog I spoke of earlier, from that descending fog, a person
seeks Self-Validation, a crude desire, stoked and reinforced by a constant selfish hunger
triggered by the Ego, demanding recognition and praise.

Now Self-Validation is not Soul Validation. Self-Validation treats ‘We’ as a first level
concept, as a molecular, atomistic concept. Self-Validation honors the whims and whimsy’s, the
disconnected, yet often soothing but destructive desires of the Ego, who through Self-
Empowerment, is motivated by forces unseen. The Ego acts as a portal to lower vibratory, lower
frequency avatars, who then feed from the chaotic, disruptive patterns created by the Self
Eviscerating – Self-Cutting, actions it provokes. Soul-Validation, on the other hand, encourages
a slow progression from level one or the individualistic, atomistic level which occurs naturally in
children to level four, the communal, social, soulful level which occurs through proper maturity,
‘We’, as ‘I’s’ identifying with either the Self or Soul, Seek according to our perspective and the
aims prescribed by the associative phrase. If ‘We’ Seek as a ‘Soul’, ‘We’ Seek fulfillment in
completion and fulfillment via completion; if ‘We’ Seek as a ‘Self’, ‘We’ Seek fulfillment in
justification and fulfillment via justification.
Now it’s important to see, not all justification of Self is negative just as not all
completion of Soul is positive. By this I simply mean, one can seek justification of Self for
validation or they can seek justification of Self for vindication, to what extreme they attach their
worth and opinion to each determines the effect such paths will have on their lives. The same is
true for completion of Soul, one can seek completion of Soul for validation or they can seek
1
1
completion of Soul for vindication, in this matter though, how a person Seeks is just as important
or in some cases more important than what they Seek. If they for instance Seek to correct some
wrong and fail to enact principles to change behavior and elevate minds, then the wrong is likely
going to continue far into the future, their destination therefore is obstructed and put off by their
means. Interestingly this process can apply to Self, but only if justification is removed, as the
completion of Soul process will necessitate the dissolution of the Self – gradually, but wholly by
the end.
Most people gathered here today will began their seeking as a ‘Self’, this is not
accidently, as we live in a society which promotes the ‘Self’ heavily and minimizes the ‘Soul’. In
fact merely calling our inner divinity ‘THE’ minimizes it to a segregated portion of our Being,
which may be either owned or disowned. ‘THE’ ‘Soul’ is treated as a thing to either be consumer
or discarded. Such thinking is dangerous, as life on this planet is determined by Poles. Not Polls,
those things often quoted by marketers or politicians; but Poles or axis, Zenith points, one
belonging to Pro-Life Soul Beings and the other occupied by Soulless Anti-Life Vampires, every
inhabitant on this planet is either a member committed to either group or subject to the influence
or torment of either group. We live in a battleground, a Warzone, where Good and Evil seek the
1
2
upper hand. Every Seeker must be mindful of this fact, a fact we’ll discuss as a Congregation in
upcoming sermons.
Since most of us are beginning our Seeking as ‘Self’s’ or to put it more bluntly, ‘We’ as
‘Seekers’ are ‘I’s’ without full placement of ‘Soul’ or full recognition of ‘Soul’ – since ‘We’ are
starting here, let me begin by answering a question undoubtedly on your mind, What Are ‘We’
Seeking?
Our introduction to this Question is found not in its confinements but in its complement. I
have already addressed ‘We’ as a definition and ‘We’ as ‘I’s’ Seeking as ‘Self’ or ‘Soul’, the
proverbial ‘Who’ in the given title; but I have yet to contextualize these ideas with the phrase
‘Active’ or its correlation, ‘Seeker’. Simply put, to see one without the other causes a vacuum to
occur within; the reader or listening instinctively asks upon seeing the word ‘Seeker’ without
‘Active’ or ‘Active’ without ‘Seeker’– What and Why; more irritating still is the vacuous
perception created when both words are united. Nothing is truly explained by placing the word’s
‘Active’ and ‘Seeker’ together. This is the paradox we have to contend with from this point on.
We must see what being an ‘Active Seeker’ means as opposed to being an ‘Inactive Seeker’.
However before these important concepts can be dissected I must offer remarks pertaining to the
1
3
path which they comprise as such knowledge will extend your ability to appreciate further their
importance.
There is an old proverb about Keys; any Key to any lock is neither sound nor guaranteed.
The ‘Seeker’ in its basic form is a Key capable of opening many different locks; however life
being a path bedecked with doorways; the locks each key opens depend exclusively on the locks
opened prior to its encounter with the key. The ‘Seeker’ therefore must find the correct lock in
the order necessary to open it, lest they need to retrace old steps. In this way Life is more like a
combination lock, than a nuts and bolt lock. The ‘Seeker’ on this path is one who is looking for,
in search of or in quest of; from a stationary point they obtain a situational diagram of the
environment around them, they ‘look’ upon all that is created to assess the potential moves they
can make. From there they began searching, they began moving around the area they encounter
daily, to ascertain, to gain knowledge of, to gain a perspective of, those elements, those people,
places and things, that might help them move from their given place to their desired place. The
seeker then expands their environment, pushing the boundaries they’re accustomed to outward so
they might test what knowledge they had gathered inside their original bubble against those
elements foreign to their senses. It is at this point that shell shock often occurs, when a person
realizes how limited their gestation was and how constrictive their world view actually is.

Nonetheless, with perseverance and patience, this third stage, this second wave of action but
third stage of Seeking, is superseded by an internal compass which guides them towards new
shores, new lands and new boundaries that both encompass truth and encompass wisdom. This is
the path of the ‘Seeker’. On this path the ‘Seeker’ is either ‘Active’ or ‘Inactive’; they are either
driven by ‘Objectives’ leading to ‘goals’ or motivated by ‘Subjects’ whom, if not aligned with
their highest intentions or resonations, lead to, in best case scenarios dead ends which beg us to
recalibrate our actions, in worst case scenarios these ‘Subjects’ lead us into stagnating cycles
which are little more than ruts or grooves running over one another leading to the same place
again and again, causing psychic confiscation, mental deterioration and emotional depreciation
and depression.
Now A ‘Seekers’ status as ‘Active’ or ‘Inactive’ and ‘Conscious’ or ‘Unconscious’ charges the
Soul, The Body, The Mind, The Nine Aspects of the Being as described by the Kemetians,
Egyptians for the newbies, with a unique energy sequence which both attracts and repels
obstacles, coincidences, treasures, memories and circumstances to the ‘Seeker’. The four
categories of ‘Seeker’ created by these titles enable us to see similarities and adjust our
1
5
developmental approach to fit their needs – next week we’ll speak about these four categories in
greater length but now I want to give introductory remarks to their visage.
The four categories focus their paths around two separate criteria, two separate
metaphoric lanes; they are the ‘Realized’ lane and the ‘Unrealized’ lane. Here the terms are
utilized to mean simply “the ability to focus a desire into creation” or “the ability to manifest into
reality”. These two definitions must be innergrasped, they must be overstood and innerstood, all
words not found in the English dictionary but widely perceived by the third eye as viable and
sensible. This Trinity brings light to many visions and views seen by mortal eyes, thus time must
be given to bestow their meanings upon the reader. To innergrasp is to “see what is [being
presented] outwardly, shave away the context [thoroughly and throughout the whole], revealing
the essence [that which cannot be seen] for mental, spiritual and emotional consumption and
intellectual regurgitation”. To overstand is to “elevate beyond the base perception [the inner,
direct view] to a place where totality can be calculated, divided and noted, away from the moral
perception, overhead the spiritual and emotional perception; it is a place where the Soul sees
clearly the grounding forces comprising this plane”. To innerstand is to “envelope ones
conscious [wandering] portion with the essential portions of their being’s shadow or aura,
without fully detaching their portion from their soul or fully intercoursing with the other; here
1
6
the portion deconstructs the other from an atomic level, utilizing strength of perception, strength
of presents and strength of mind to accurately see the essential nature locked within the others
atomic structure”. Combined these three elements are all microcosmic presentable skills part of a
cherished sense underutilized till now. This skill can be deemed an eighth or ninth sense,
wherefrom a person standing in one room can throw their soul, project a portion of their soul
rather, to another area where they can merge or intercept another soul or spirit for analysis. To do
this takes skill and patience, but, as we enter more rapidly into this Black Solar Age, such senses
will become open to all prepared to use them properly.
Studying the three explanations, the careful observer would stand back in amazement and
possibly confusion, seeing all relatable to spirits and souls, not individual words or definitions.
The careful observer would, in their scrutiny, move to each instance where soul or spirit is
mentioned or implied and ask, rightly, where then do these explanations fit in my expansion of
the original two definitions. My answer to these crafty, deep thinking ones is, a definition is little
more than a wondering spirit, a wondering mass of energy, either traveling from ones lips to
another’s ears or moving around aimlessly in one’s mind, waiting for a purpose to be assigned to
its existence. I would say to them, if life could be given easily to that which we said or thought,
1
7
then a quick understanding of the power within words a definitions would become evident, as a
whole realities can be reconstructed by changing the definitions of a few hundred words.
We must see then that the two definitions given a few moments ago, “the ability to focus
a desire into creation” or “the ability to manifest into reality”; have within them a life source
which can be dissected, torn apart, reassembled and reconfigured all for our benefit and
digestion. The corresponding three words and their explanations can assist in our ability to
complete this task.
These definitions, we set our eyes upon are greater than mere singular synopsis, they are
not Will Power, though Will Power is key to their force fullness; they are not Esteem, though
Esteem also is key to their force fullness; they are not confidence nor disciple nor humility or
intimacy, though all these emotional elements are key to their force fullness – these definitions
are singularly and completely, a nuanced description of the single fire engine comprising our
souls heart. To have “the ability to focus a desire into creation” is to be one with the God spark
within, to have “the ability to manifest into reality” is to conjure the Goddess spark from our
Soul-Luminant memories, to do both simultaneously is to provoke a great disturbance in this
time-space continuum, enough to bring forward the divine dignitaries – not their energies, but
their wholly forms – to this place, to this time, to erect that which is perceptible to all who exist
1
8
within this plane. This is what I mean when I say “Realized”; to Realize is to knowing shape the
world around us, to Realize is to see clearly a way from which you can gain that which you crave
or desire, to Realize is to make clear your goal through action, discipline and perseverance.
“Unrealized” is in many ways the opposite of “Realized” yet not completely. Firstly
“Unrealized” is “the ability to focus a desire into creation without forethought or destination”,
Secondly, “Unrealized” is “the inability to manifest into reality, that, which is perceptible to the
personal soul”. The Soul here, though personal, is wholly the composite entity we call Our-
Being. When working from an Unrealized stage, Our-Being is capable of great feats, we
intercourse with this Dimensional Spatial Grid, to bring into existence items more aligned with
base desires then higher ideals. At this level, The Soul is Present during creation but it is not the
chief motivator. This must be innerstood completely, since Lusting in an Unrealized state results
in ‘wants’ coveted not ‘needs’ desired. These are complex concepts, I know, however they will
be explained in greater detail at some later date. For now this basic explanation will suffice.
Now the ‘Seeker’s’ status as ‘Active’ or ‘Inactive’ and ‘Conscious’ or ‘Unconscious’
produces both knowns and unknowns. When the ‘Seekers’ path begins, rather in earnest or
protest, ‘Seekers’ know already some of what they must have in their lives, some of what they
need but don’t have. These are greater than baseline level desires, they aren’t luxury items but
1
9
deeper yearnings, those things that make life worth living and each day worth getting up for.
‘Seekers’ often set out looking to fulfill these needs and end up disappointed in the process. They
end up, disappointed, disillusioned and often sicker, more frustrated and more detached from the
world and reality than they started. This is simply because the culture we live in is so sick, it has
created an atmosphere so stiff and polluted the energy reservoirs necessary to feed these deeper
personal needs no longer exist in abundance, they have been drained of their cosmic essence
leaving those with assess wanting desperately for their sustenance while stranding the energy
vampires who depended on the overflowing energy wellsprings once spewing from their pores.
When the ‘Seeker’ begins their journey, they know that the state of their mind, emotions,
physiques, spirits and souls, are constricted, are demanded in some way, are being suppressed or
repressed, they know they don’t have the tools or techniques necessary to reverse this state, they
know every day they awaken, they are not relieved nor happy they are waking into this world,
they know there is deep meaninglessness in every action or word they force even when they
accept the cliché reasons given by most people to explain life’s bitter dullness away. They know,
they have a true wonder about death, they ask what comes after it, why does it happen; they
wonder why life given only for death to end it, they know they wonder about their origins and
their finiteness. The ‘Seeker’ knows they either fear death or secretly yearn for it; whichever is
2
0
the case, they wonder why, that is the fear death or yearn for it? They know there must be a
heaven and hell, though they may wonder why then is Earth in existence with so much pain,
strife and negativity. They know that Science is questioning the existence of any Being greater
than Humanity, they know science is dissecting every miniscule aspect of Earth and creating
from those aspects, new never before created aspects and elements, nano-machines and
technologies; science is doing what Smart, Evolved intelligence beings should be doing leading
many within its community to question the existence of any higher creators. They know,
sometimes instinctively, other times doubtedly, there is a Heaven and Hell, or a place where
those who exhibit liveliness, harmony and love go and a place where those who emit heavy,
destructive, intelligence-ridden energy go, a place for ‘Pro-Life’ builders and a place for ‘Anti-
Life’ destroyers. They know there must a place like this because, in their most silent moments,
they yearn for it; in their most relaxed and vivid moments, in their most realistic dreams, they
know Heaven exists because they’ve been to its beautiful lands. They know there is something
greater than the self they see every day; they know there is something greater than the Soul they
know is the core of their Being. They know there is a deep, deep yearning to not only experience
that something, but to reunite with that something.

These knowns and many more propel the ‘Seeker’ along their path in confidence; they
create a partial picture from whence the ‘Seeker’ can draw inspiration from; from an internal lens
they can look to this unfinished yet ever changing, ever evolving picture as a symbol of the work
they’ve done and the work ahead. From this picture they see also a map, pointing a way towards
that which they are seeking or that which they need to seek. What they seek – that is, what the
‘Seeker’ seeks differs widely and depends heavily on their objectives and destiny’s, categories,
however do exist explaining the ultimate ends they seek.
The three primary categories these ends fill are; Quests, Visions and Destiny’s or Fate’s.
Quests are the stepping stones leading to the fulfillment of Visions which combined together
open up a lens to the ‘Seeker’s’ Soul Mission or Destiny; when the Soul Mission is thwarted by
miscalculations, mistakes, missteps and confusion; then the Quests become fragmented, tainted
and the ‘Seeker’ either moves into uncharted territory or becomes mired in a Desert Period, a
topic I’ll discuss in an upcoming Sermon Lecture. When uncharted territory is unintentionally
factored into the unfolding Vision of the Seeker’s Mission for an extended period of time, say
several years, a decade or perhaps multiple decades, then the Mission begins to adjust to the lens
feeding the Quests and forming the Vision, this lens is Destiny which is a form of fulfillment; it
is a form of growing into ones full potential; however, when deviation from that destiny occurs –
2
2
when Sin is factored in, Sin being nothing malevolent or bad or evil, but actually meaning
‘missing’ or ‘subtraction’ or ‘unaccounted’, when Sin or the deviation from that Destiny is
factored into the lens, Fate becomes to end result. Fate, unlike destiny, is unfulfilling; ones
potential is not realized – remember the earlier description of realized. Fate is created when a
person is left to the whims of the world they inhabit. Fate is the ultimate end to uncharted Quests,
unfocused Visions and an Unperceived Destiny. Fate is equivalent to the chains around the neck,
feet and hands of all Unconscious, Unrealized Seekers; without Destiny, without Vision, without
Quests, Fate is the hang man constantly walking beside you threatening you with death. I’m
saddened to say today that far too many of our people are trapped in Fate’s web; they do not
innerstand how Fate operates nor do they care where it is leading them. It is up to the Conscious,
Realized Seeker to reverse this trend, more on that next week.
The Quest most people here are familiar with are the fairytale Quests where a person
begins as a poor maiden or lad, they go through a journey which tests their way of thought and
action, a journey which brings them true love, or at least the potential for true love and
happiness; at the end of which they arrive at a place of amazing wealth, riches and satisfaction.
We’re all aware of this clichéd Quest. What we don’t know is these Quests are in actuality
demonstrations of the three ‘Seekers’ path; if we were to dissect those stories carefully,
2
3
something I invite you to do; we’d see the Quest we see as one singular entity; is in fact multiple
Quests to answer multiple Cues or Questions; we’d see these Quests often have multiple endings
and beginnings, multiple Visions ending in a Destiny, sometime unforeseen at the onset of the
original Quest. We’d see that the Quest as presented there is the ‘Seeker’s’ paths on display. But
then what is a Quest if not this magnificent unfolding of events? A Quest is an action or series of
actions undertaken to fill the requirement of a goal or series of objectives leading to the
development, strengthening or resolving of any internal mechanism necessary for greater
personal fulfillment and achievement. A Quest can be as simple as reading a book from cover to
cover or as complex as analyzing an extensive formula used in chemistry for compatible formula
transmutable to algorithmic language, in hopes of one day forming a bolder more realistic
gaming experience on line. Here we see the connection between the Quest and the Vision. As I
mentioned before, the Quest is the step while the Vision is the Conclusion of those Cues which
began the Quest, the fulfillment of Visions on the way to the Destination or the Soul Mission.
Quests are the active ingredients to a recipe which once placed together over heat form
one part of a meal. This may be the best way to truly see the relationship between the Quest, the
Vision and The Destiny, especially when Vision is being discussed. Vision takes on two forms,
the first is the acknowledged or known Vision and the second is the undefined or unknown

Vision. The explanation of both are rather simple; in the first case, the acknowledged or known
Vision, the ‘Seeker’ can visualize or conceptualize completely the finished scenario they are
realizing by performing the tasks associated with their Quests, while in the case of the second
Vision, the undefined or unknown Vision, they may only be in a position to visualize or
conceptualize generally, in vague terms, what they hope their finished Vision will look like.
Quests equaling this last Vision are often long, tedious and sometimes accomplished through
faith or mystery. Initiation Questions are unfolded in this manner, leading many to abandon them
because the uncertain, seemingly endless demands leading to what looks to the ‘Seeker’, like
nowhere.
This brings us to the mysteriousness of Destiny. Undoubtedly, if a person could see,
right now, the many moves made during their last lifetime, if they could read completely how
each action lead to some end and then could look at the entire list of ends they sought or were
goaded into seeking. If they were given a list of all this information without their Destiny
included, the person would be forgiven if they couldn’t name exactly what their Destiny was.
The reason for this is simple; the Destiny one aims for when they are born is not fully formed
until they are a teenager or young adult. This flexibility gives a Being, time to evolve and mold
itself into the circumstances surrounding it. Sometimes, in very rare cases, the Destiny statement

is nearly fully formed during early or mid-childhood, but again this is very rare. This is rare
because Destiny is predicated on a combination of elements apart of and separate from the
physical realm. These elements include our Life Theme or what codex within our Gene is being
evolved or built; they include resources available, emotional and psychological stability; spiritual
attacks and attachments and a host of other uncontrollable factors. Many ‘Seekers’ self-sabotage
themselves to keep from having a Destiny which they know would be taxing or trying, many
more numb themselves to the demands placed upon them with drugs, food and other activities. In
all cases though, in some form one will reach the end of the ‘Seeker’s’ path.
As mentioned earlier, how one reaches and precedes on this path is determined heavily
on the psyche and the psyche is stimulated by the environment and culture. If, for instance, a
person spends all their time listening to cultural lessons wrapped in musical rhythms which
encourage grooving or the creation of a fixed routine’ if they spend all their time listening to
cultural lessons encoded in moving pictures and symbols which promote numbing the mind or
discouraging unity with a mate or dissuading curiosity, then the end result will be this stagnant
cycling. If, in contrast, a person spends all their time listening to cultural lessons dispensed by
Elders or wrapped in musical rhythms or scribed across countless pages or imprinted in symbols
and sigils, and these lessons promote the Social Trinity (Family-Nation-Generation), personal

growth and responsibility, dignified willfulness and the timeless universal bond between ever
living life and ever transitioning death then the end result will be closer to the ‘Seeker’s’ path
because the person involved will learn not to numb the mind but harness its great power. The
person will seek wisdom as they, themselves will be seen as wisdom’s beholder. In contrast, as
mentioned previously, the person who ingests the negative cultural message becomes captivated
by routine, by grooving in a set area where movement is pre-scripted and pre-determined. They
become obsessed with maintaining the circle they are ensnared in and cannot see past the petty
dramatizations evolving around their life.
In the greatest sense souls caught in this merry-go-round lifestyle, this merry-go-round
existence, are confused and bewildered by circumstances beyond their control. The ‘Seeker’
unmoored by such falsehoods, should bestow great compassion on such desecration for one must
be completely absent minded to allow themselves to be chained without chains, caged without
bars and abused without an overseer. Seeing past such tribulations, the ‘Seeker’, must be willing
to humble their pride enough to pray earnestly and work diligently for their liberation and
awakening. The difficulty in this task cannot be understated as those often caught in these
hopeless cycles, demonstrate self-contradicting, ego inflation actions, lessoning their grips on
personal empowerment mechanisms, resulting in a propensity to attack anybody outside their

area who doesn’t feed them philosophical gruel equal to the regurgitated wisdom-less mesh their
accustomed to. Undoubtedly, many people listening to this sermon have witnessed such acts
against their person as such acts eliciting similar responses are common amongst ‘Seekers’
whom try, before their awakening, to actually awaken or council someone they witness hurting
or recycling through the same lessons. The ‘Seekers’ path is one ripe with such occasions as the
path is one dedicated to self-development, self-discipline, self-awareness and esteem, in the
pursuit of serving a higher calling, in serving a higher purpose or mandate.
Next week I’ll preach again on this topic, expanding on some of the ideas expressed here.
