The Ascension Papers
Chapter 10. What is Evil?
People willing to commit genocide for the sake of power, wealth or political expediency
Let me begin telling you about these people by continuing where we just left off when we were talking about rescuer. Remember I was just saying that there are many people who are not done with their own victim dramas?
Z: Yes.
8: Well it is so that the greatest majority of people on your planet are indeed still deeply engaged in the victim state. And so it is that pretty much everyone you would meet from day to day is, to one extent or another, playing out a number of concurrent victim dramas in their lives.
This is right and appropriate because this is what they came to this planet for. On a soul level they chose to come here and they knew that they were going to have these experiences when they made these choices.
Z:… and so we shouldn’t try to rescue them. I get that.
8: Steady on. I am making another point now. Not only should you not try to rescue them, but you should also allow that they actually need a perpetrator. If you are going to sit on the one side of a see-saw, then you need someone to sit on the other side. That’s the only way to make the ride work. Well, in just this way, victim and perpetrator need each other. The one without the other has no movement. And until each being is ready to finally release the whole victim experience, they will still need perpetrators. Until they make this decision powerfully and finally on a soul level, they will not be able to leave this game behind and move on to another, perhaps kinder, more loving, game. Until each of you has mastered both the dark and the light of your own souls, you will not be your own master. And only masters ascend.
And so, the point I am making is that there is a need for perpetrators in order to allow victims to experience and explore their own beings. To provide them with the choices that they need so that they can create themselves again and again until they have mastered themselves.
Z: I see. But how does this pertain to those people who would commit genocide?
8: What I have just said pertains to all victim/perpetrator relationships. But, all right, let’s get into the specifics of this question: those who commit genocide for the sake of expediency.
How about I use an example of something that is very much in your planetary consciousness right now? An issue that is highly emotive, thorny and hotly debated. How about I use the example of the 9-11 attack on the World Trade Centre?
(Zingdad Note: when I was first writing this, the 9-11 attack was already a good few years behind us but, at this point it had become a very hotly debated issue. The “official story” as told by government agencies was being heavily called into question, all kinds of holes were being poked in the explanations given and attention was being called to the vast areas they had simply glossed over. Though, since then, time has passed and new “hot topic” issues have come and gone, the issues of what really happened during 9-11, how the three buildings came to fall and who was behind it all, have never been even nearly satisfactorily resolved. For this reason 8 and I decided to continue to use this example as is in this third edition.)
Z: Whew! That certainly is a very contentious issue for many here on Earth. But now we’re talking about terrorism and I thought we were supposed to be talking about genocide.
8: I know. I am not in the habit of letting my attention wander. If you were paying attention you would recall that we were actually talking about the people who would commit genocide. If you are to understand these people and how and why they act as they do, then you will need to understand that genocide itself is just one of the deeds that they get up to. It is really just one page in a much greater story. And if I am to tell you this story, then it is best that I begin telling it from a place to which you can relate.
The Story of John, the Conspiracy Theorist
I will begin by telling a story of a man – we shall call him John – who has lost a family member in what has been called “the 9-11 terrorist attack”. This was quite possibly the most visible terrorist attack in the history of humanity. It was captured on film from every angle and shown over and over again on television around the world. Not only was John deeply aggrieved by his loss, but the way in which this vile act was presented to him over and over again resulted in his grief becoming inflamed to the point of profound rage.
“What kind of foul, evil demon would do this?” John wondered about these terrorists. And almost magically, in answer to his question, there appeared on his television screen an image of a bearded man in a turban. This, he was told, was the arch-villain. This was the evil mastermind behind the whole operation. There were even recordings in which this man claimed responsibility. And soon after that John saw further images on his television of other middle-eastern men. These dark-eyed foreigners with a foreign religion and an ideology of hatred, the talking heads on the television authoritatively informed him, were the perpetrators. Finally, John had a target for his rage. And the way all this was presented to him caused the target of his hatred to grow from a small handful of men to a whole culture… a whole religion. In fact John found he now hated the residents of a whole geographical region! And when the cowboy-hatted president of his nation talked war talk, John found his voice calling agreement: Yes, punishment! Yes, vengeance! Yes, retribution! John found the idea of going to war against the terrorists an idea that he could very easily support. If he wasn’t too old, he told himself, he’d volunteer himself. He’d love to go and kill some of those “evil monsters,” he told himself.
And of course John was not the only one in his country to feel this way. Or even the world. This was quite a popular sentiment for a while there.
And so there was war.
But it very quickly changed from a surgically clear operation to something muddy and complex. And John’s fervour began to wane when he first read about “collateral damage”. It’s a term that means civilians being killed. You see, John is a bright enough fellow and his heart is actually in the right place. And this wasn’t what he wanted. He wanted terrorists punished. Not simple, poor, innocent village folk in some far away country. But all the time there was this idea of catching the chief terrorist. And John was reminded again and again of the man in the turban who had made video recordings in which he had taken responsibility for the 9-11 attack. Bringing him to justice was an idea that John could still get behind. And, while John waited for the chief terrorist to be brought to justice, somehow this one war became two. John wasn’t entirely sure how that happened. First they were hunting in the mountains for this arch-enemy and then they were looking for Weapons of Mass Destruction in a different country altogether. Which had links, the television told him, to the 9-11 terrorists. Traumatised, fearful and very angry, John was willing to keep supporting the war effort. “Go kill them all,” was his thought on the subject.
But the more these wars dragged on, the more young people came back in body bags and with missing limbs, the more fire left John’s belly. And the more this began to look less and less like a good and righteous war to him too. First, there were no Weapons of Mass Destruction to be found. Then he read that there was no connection at all between the 9-11 terrorists and this second country. He began to suspect that there was another reason for this expansion of the war. He wondered if it wasn’t just all about oil. Or possibly all about a vendetta between his country’s leader and the leader of the other country. And then, a little later, John first encountered a conspiracy theory which claimed that the whole 9-11 attack had been instigated by people inside his own country’s government!
The conspiracy theorist came with all kinds of evidence that supported the contention that it was not, after all, two airliners that brought the two skyscrapers down but, in fact, powerful high-explosives that must have been placed inside the buildings before the time. And then there was the video he saw showing a third building being demolished with no aeroplane hitting it at all. At first John rejected these ideas. They were too abhorrent to contemplate. But the ideas fascinated him because he had no answer for them. They taunted him in his mind. So he kept going back to the Internet to look for more. And he kept finding more. More and more evidence that, at the very least, a group of people in power in his government had worked quite hard to allow the aircraft attacks to happen. More and more evidence that the buildings were actually destroyed with explosives. Never any proof – but always more evidence.
Layer upon layer of cover-ups. Facts not fitting with the official story. Professionals in various industries such as engineers, architects, pilots and so forth all coming forward with more probing, unanswered questions. All saying that it was, quite literally, impossible for things to have transpired in accordance with the official story. All demanding the truth. All convinced that the official story was a whitewash. John read how, from every angle, the official story was debunked and then finally decided for himself that the conspiracy theories were true. And, as soon as he opened this door, John was hit by an avalanche. The deeper down the rabbit hole he went, the more information he found. More and more stories of deception and deceit that had played out across the face of the globe, going back into history. Shameful covert operations being conducted with, it seemed, the knowledge and blessing of his country’s leaders. Murders and assassinations, wars instigated in foreign lands, arms and equipment supplied to despots and madmen to use against their own people, narcotics being traded for guns… on and on it went. Everywhere John looked he found stories detailing gross abuses of public trust by those in power, which were then hidden behind layers of lies and deception. And these conspiracy theories all tied together. The one leading to the other. All of them adding up in a way that, quite sickeningly, explained why the world was the way it was. It went a long way toward explaining why there was so much hatred in the world.
And that is where we leave John.
Z: Wow, 8. You paint quite a bleak picture. And is it all true – all this conspiracy theory stuff?
8: True?
Z: Yes, I mean, did it all happen the way the conspiracy theorists say?
8: (sighs) My dear young friend. I know this is hard for you to understand, but please try. There is no objective truth outside of yourself other than, “The ONE is,” remember?
Z: Oh yes. I do remember that. But surely this attack either happened one way or it did not?
8: No. You still don’t really get it yet. There is no objective truth of this story that exists outside of yourself – or of any other story, for that matter. It doesn’t exist. Things simply do not work that way. There are perspectives and probabilities which all of you, inside this game, are busy co-creating. But no single version is fixed. No single version is eternally valid.
This is why I was telling you about John’s perspective, rather than about things that “actually happened”. Because outside of you and John and everyone else on this planet… outside of yourselves there is nothing going on. Outside of the creators, there is no creation.
So the only thing you need to concern yourself with is your own subjective experience. And for each of you this is a little different. You each have a slightly different experience and story. So please pay attention when I say, it is not the “story” that is important. You believe it is, but it isn’t. The story is just a mechanism, a device, a plot line, which you are using as a vehicle to understand yourself and to create yourself. And that is all that matters: your discovery, creation and re-creation of yourself.
So listen! It does not matter what did, or did not, happen. What matters is the way you feel about it. What you decide, choose and create as a result of this perceived external stimulus. What is important is your own inner- reality.
So there is the truth of you, and then there is the story that you are using to help you to get to the truth of you. The story is subordinate. It is only of importance whilst it serves the primary goal. Which is your self-discovery and self-creation.
You understand?
Z: I do, thanks 8. I mean, I understand what you are saying and it does make sense and I really appreciate it. But I don’t understand yet how there is no one version of events. How can there be many, equally true stories?
8: You’ll get there. In time you will certainly come to see that it is so and can only be so. For now, let us return to our discussion.
So, I say again… there is the story and then there is the truth of you. Now I want to get back to our friend John. I want to talk about his subjective experiences and I want to look at how he can now create himself as a result of them.
You see, ultimately, the question of the conspiracy theories being true or not is an irrelevant question. It is meaningless. But from John’s direct, personal and subjective experience, it is an over-riding and vital question. And if John is willing to be really, deeply honest with himself, he will admit that there is no absolute proof of anything in any direction. No-one has been able to offer any kind of evidence that would make any particular version of the truth absolute and unarguable. All he has is a burgeoning collection of evidence from which he can reach his own conclusions. And if he is deeply honest and also incredibly observant, then he will realise that it is his own ideas, beliefs and preconceptions that led him to collect the evidence he has collected. You see? He is creating his reality without even being aware of it. John believes he is simply observing his outer reality. But he is not. He is going out into his world and carefully filtering what he observes and then creating a picture inside himself with the puzzle pieces he has hand-picked. Given a slightly different starting position, with a slightly different set of presuppositions, John would have gone about collecting entirely different bits of evidence and holding onto different ideas of what is true. He would end up with an entirely different belief about what was going on in his “story”.
His story. History.
It is all fiction. A selection of perspectives and views. Collect different perspectives and views and it all looks entirely different.
But it is not the story that matters; it is what you do with it. How you feel about it. Because that is when you are creating yourself and discovering yourself. Dis-covering. Removing the cover. Exposing yourself for what you really are.
Z: Fantastic stuff, 8! This is awesome. I am beginning to understand now. So how did John create himself?
8: Well, you see, John very much does believe in an external truth about events. And, as a result of his journey, he came to decide that the conspiracy theories were mostly true. They made sense to him. He found them to be an accurate reflection of his reality. And so? Given that, what was John to do? How was he to respond?
And the answer, of course, is that it depends entirely on what he really wants. He must decide what he wants, and he will create himself with his choices.
If he wants to do so, he can go on a crusade for “the truth” in which he seeks to force the government to loosen its steely grip on its secrets. To try to force those in power to tell the truth. To go and meet and interview those who were there at ground zero. Find and view new video footage of the event. Talk to experts. Try to “awaken” his fellow citizens to “the truth” (while they, on the whole, would really prefer to hit the snooze button one more time). He can do that. And there are many versions of John doing exactly that right now. And there is nothing wrong with that, if that is what they want to do.
Or he can let it go and give up. Decide the machine is far too big to battle and then he can walk away with a deep sense of distrust and disillusionment. In so doing he can replace a belief that “the authorities” are to be trusted with a belief that they are actually the enemies of humanity.
Or he can get active in politics and try to fix the system from within. Perhaps look for some lone voice inside the system who looks to be an honest broker of the truth to support. Get involved in trying to get more voters for this “person of truth” within the “system of lies”.
And, of course, there are many, many other ways in which John might respond. You see, he is constantly being offered all kinds of choices all along the way. It seems as if there are a million different things he can choose at every point. Will he believe this theory or that one? Will he trust this politician or that one? Will he protest against this thing or support that thing? Will he go to that town hall meeting and raise his concerns? Will he lose faith enough to take his anger and distrust underground; to get guns and ammunition and have clandestine meetings with others of a like mind? And what about a legal challenge to force those who are in power to tell the truth? Or will he put his faith in the system once more and trust that it will repair itself? What about just voting for the “right” candidate this time?
So many, many choices.
But you see, that too is all an illusion. There is really only one choice: to go deeper into the victim game or to raise yourself out of it. And all of the choices outlined above for John are really just the same choice: to go deeper into the game. You see, the game itself never shows you the other option… it never shows you that you can raise yourself out of the game. Instead it dazzles you with stage-magician lights. You only see the choices that it wants you to see and all of those choices are about going deeper into the game. This is why it is such a successful system. It keeps everyone playing the same game. Exactly as it is meant to.
Z: So you are saying that the game is designed so as to keep the victims playing and believing?
8: Yes. The game is designed to show you only the choices that keep you playing the game… the victim choices. It is particularly good at offering you the kind of choices where you end up supporting the victimisation of other people. Those are the best kind of game-continuing choices. If you can be induced to cause another person to be victimised too, then the game is working twice as well.
And now I want to talk a little about the engine room of these choices. To do so, I want to leave John behind and introduce you to someone else. Let’s call him Maximilian. Max for short. Max is what I call a “Super Powerful Individual” or SPI for short.
The Super Powerful Individuals
Z: What’s an SPI? Like the president of a country, or the owner of a large corporation, or what?
8: No, a Super Powerful Individual would be one of a very small number of people who, despite having a great deal of power in your world, is largely invisible and unknown. So, Max would not see himself as a citizen of one country or another. Rather, he would see countries and their political leaders as a means to manage assets. He doesn’t belong to a country; countries belong to him! He would also not think of himself as merely owning corporations; he would think of corporations as tools for his use. Max is one of a handful of people who, collectively, own everything on the planet that they would consider to be worth owning. In fact, most SPIs would probably believe that they own the people of the planet too. And, most especially, they would feel as if they own everyone whom you would normally count to be powerful: presidents, CEOs, kings and cardinals are all the SPI’s special assets. Politicians come and go with election terms. Members of corporate boards can be unseated by the shareholders. But the SPI is there to stay. Behind the scenes. Unseen. Untouchable.
If you were one of these men, then you would hold some pretty impressive powers. If the democratically elected leader of a country doesn’t behave in accordance with your will, you could have him deposed, foment a revolt and have him overthrown or have him assassinated – whatever would serve the bigger picture of a world conforming to your wishes. And, as you control the flow of capital around the world, so you could dictate how one region would get richer and another poorer. You could bring on boom times and you could trigger a global financial bust. You could start wars on a regional or even global scale, or you could stop them. You have that kind of power.
Z: So then, are these SPIs the Illuminati?
8: I prefer not to use the term, “Illuminati”, as this invites misunderstanding. There is a meme in your collective consciousness that there is such a hidden organisation, a cohesive shadowy underground unit that is running affairs on your planet. But that is an incorrect understanding. These ones, these Super Powerful Individuals, are very much not the kinds of beings who band together and work harmoniously towards a collective goal. There simply is no such organisation. The most cohesive unit of organisation these beings seem to be able to hold together is the family. Some families have extremely dominant, powerful beings at their head and these families prosper because their members are willing to align behind the head. Others are not so successful because they are racked with internal strife over who will lead. Often certain families will form allegiances and will work together for a while. Sometimes those allegiances become institutionalised over time. And there are many clubs and groups and gatherings to which the SPIs will belong and attend. But to imagine all the Super Powerful Individuals of the planet sitting together, plotting together, working as one, is to quite fundamentally misunderstand who and what they are. These are all incredibly strong individualists. Each one essentially looking after their own personal interests first. Strict hierarchies with harshly enforced discipline are the only way cohesion can be maintained. And even then the inner functioning of their organisations can be quite Byzantine, as there is endless intrigue, back-stabbing and double crossing. So you understand; this is not the planet-spanning unified organisation that you might have imagined it to be. Rather it is a number of families, each operating along roughly feudal lines, with a most senior “head” running the family. Even though there are, as I say, allegiances and compacts between some of the families.
Z: Hmm. Okay, I think I have a better understanding now.
8: You do? Well then, let me ask you a question: If you were Max, what would you want? What would you want to do, or to achieve, or experience, or have? What would you want?
Z: That’s an interesting question. I guess I wouldn’t actually want for anything. Not anything material anyway. I’d have everything I could possibly imagine I needed. I guess I’d probably decide to enjoy my wealth and power by finding ways to use it to help others.
8: You’d essentially begin to give it away?
Z: Yes. I think so.
8: Glad to hear it. And so would the other SPIs. That would mean that they would be able to swallow your empire whole, and in so doing, become even more wealthy and powerful. And I won’t even bother getting into the details of how tough you’d actually find it to give your money away responsibly so that the giving did not cause more harm than it solved. That’s a whole other discussion. The point I will make is that you would very soon become irrelevant in the world of the Super Powerful. You would very quickly no longer be very powerful at all. So I’m going to ask you to try to answer the question again. Try to shift your perspective. Try to imagine yourself as someone who is that powerful. You would not have become that powerful if you hadn’t been honed and trained from birth to be the bearer of that power. And your family would not have placed you at the head of the empire if you had not shown every aptitude, capacity and determination to bear that mantle. Every moment of your upbringing, education and training would have been about pitting you in competition with other possible heirs to the throne. You would have had to have been a ruthless, brilliant player to ever get to the head of this empire. And it wouldn’t just be dropped into your lap either. You would have been given incrementally increasing levels of power and responsibility and you would have had to have shown yourself to be the smartest and the best at every turn.
Z: Hmm. I see. I guess I would see myself in competition with everyone else in the power game. I’d have competed internally to get to being the head of my family’s empire; now I’d see myself as being in competition with everyone else. I think I’d see it as a challenge to expand my family’s empire and win the wealth and power game.
8: Yes. It is a sort of a game to them. Often a breathtakingly cruel and vicious game. A deadly serious game for those who get in their way. But a game none the less.
Z: Okay. I see. So if you ask what I would want if I were to try to imagine myself into Max’s shoes, then my answer is that I would want to win the game. Even though I would have obscene wealth and power, I would want more. In fact, I would want it all. As does everyone else “at the top”, I’m sure. So then my desire would be to be the very best at the game and to outmanoeuvre all the other SPIs and grab ever more power and control and to crush everyone in my way.
8: You intuitively can see that it would be so?
Z: Yes, easily. Some time ago I played a computer game called “Civilisation”. In it you get to be the head of a tiny new-founded empire starting out at 6000BC. You manage all aspects of your empire’s growth and development and nurture it and watch it grow. You found new cities and they grow. And then you begin to encounter other empires. You trade and make treaties. And all is well until resources start to run out. You can’t expand any more because you become surrounded by neighbours. It becomes an inevitable part of the game that war will then break out. Instead of expanding through growth, you expand by conquest. It’s just good strategy, after all. It’s just the way you win the game!
Funny thing is, as I found myself winning the game because a sufficient percentage of the game world was under my control, I didn’t want to stop. I had invested so much energy and attention in my civilisation that I didn’t want to end with “good enough”. I wanted to stay with the game until the whole world was mine – until all my enemies were crushed – until not a single corner of the globe was not under my control.
Oops. I guess I’m revealing quite a lot about myself, aren’t I?
8: What you reveal is that you actually really do understand the problem of power. So you have compassion and can release judgement. This is very good.
Now, tell me, if you were Max, what would you want with regards to all the little folk “at the bottom”? All the regular folk who are factory workers, clerks, shop-assistants, office managers, soldiers and what-not?
Z: Umm… I guess I’d want them to keep working. To keep slaving away. And to do what I want them to do, when I want them to do it. And to not get noisy and disobedient along the way.
8: And what if they did get disobedient? What if some of them stopped serving your will? What if they began to realise what was going on? What if one day someone looked up from the factory floor and said, “I don’t like this job awfully much. I’m going to do something I love doing instead. I’m going to find my most blissful expression of Self and discover my true nature and then ascend from this system.” What then?
Z: Well that would be bad news for me. Because obviously such a thing could catch on. If others saw this guy doing what he loved and being happy, then they might want to do it too. Soon all my minions would be off in tie-dyed clothing, making daisy chains and singing “Kumbaya” or whatever. They wouldn’t be serving me. I’d start to lose at the game.
8: But it’s okay, isn’t it, because that isn’t going to happen. I mean, think for a second. How many people who are slaving away in factories, shops and offices around the world can just give up and do what they want?
Z: Not very many at all. 8: And why is that?
Z: Well, mostly because they have debts to pay. And even if they have no debt, how will they pay for stuff like food and housing and so on? And even if they could pay for that, what about the future? What about their children’s education?
8: Exactly. So that’s the first point. Debt. Remember these Super Powerful Individuals run the show. They essentially own the world’s economy. Certainly they own all the banks. So, the more folks are deeply in debt, the more they keep slaving away. In the factories, shops and businesses that are also owned by the Super Powerful.
Z: Wow. That’s pretty shocking. Or really great strategy. Depending on your perspective.
8: And that’s still nothing. There are many other ways to keep Joe, the factory worker’s, eyes down on the factory floor. Debt is only one of them. Some of the others are even nastier. Remember the example above of the 9-11 attack?
Z: Oh no! You mean the 9-11 attack is nothing but a huge control mechanism to keep people manipulable?
8: What do you think?
Z: I… uh… Oh, but wait a minute, 8. What happened to all that stuff about, “the story being less important than The Truth Of You”? Are you now saying that the conspiracy theories are true?
8: No. I am telling you another story. Nothing more, nothing less. Or did you feel at some point that I was demanding of you that you must believe me?
Z: But 8! What’s the point of this if it isn’t true?
8: The point? It is the same as the point of the story that you are telling yourself by living your life. The point is that you are giving yourself experiences so that you can choose and create. Exactly as I told you before. I am telling you about this so that you can hit rock-bottom on the victim drug to which you are addicted so that you can decide to let it go and create! Take ownership! Wake up! Discover who you really are!
If anything I have said to you in all of our conversations was valid, do you think there would be a single story out there that was absolute? That was not actually a creation… a fiction… an elaborate stage play? Your stage play that you are co-creating!
Z: So then, what is the value of telling me about these SPIs? Why not tell me any old mother goose story?
8: I could. But it would not conform to your experience. It would not be of use to you. I’ll say it again, so please pay attention this time round, okay? It really is the important bit and you really must try to take notice of this:
There is no objective truth to any story. There are only perspectives and probabilities, which all those playing each game co-create together. But even so, each co-creator has their own unique perspective, experience and story within the greater story. There is no one absolute story, which makes any other story untrue. Which is okay because it is not, after all, the story that is important. You simply need to pretend that the story is the most important thing in order for the game to work. But, as you are now leaving the game, you can come to the realisation that the story is simply the means by which you show yourself your inner being, as projected into an outer reality. You simply use the mechanism of the story to discover yourself and create yourself. Now, the story can be very compelling. It is meant to be. But you are now ready to realise that it is only of value in the context of the truth of you. Other than that, it is meaningless.
And so you can now understand the story for what it is. It is something that you can use to show yourself something about yourself and then, depending on how much you like what you see about yourself, you can make new choices about yourself.
Discover yourself and create yourself. That is the point of all of it.
So now you ask me why I tell you about these SPIs. Well here is the answer: I myself am now using story. I am using your story. Your co-created reality. And I am telling you something about your story. You can decide for yourself to what degree what I am telling you is valid. And then you can decide what this information tells you about yourself. And then you can decide how you will create yourself.
How’s that?
Z: I’m actually struggling with this, 8. I think I only now get what you were saying about “story”. And I don’t know how to respond. It makes me feel as if there is no more point in hearing about these things. If it is all just made up… then what is the point in talking about it?
8: All right, let me help you with this. Do you remember dreaming last night?
Z: Yes. As a matter of fact I had a very long and elaborate dream. And then I woke up and I was telling Lisa about my dream and she and I had a conversation about the dream. And then I woke up again! And I realised that both experiences had been a dream.
8: Many people will have these kinds of dream-within-a-dream experiences. If you are willing to pay attention to it, it is a very important message that you are imparting to yourself in such a dream. You are showing yourself how you can wake up from a dream and believe that you are awake, that the dream was all just a fiction, and yet you are still inside a dream. It is still all just a fiction. And then you wake up again and…
…and…
Z: I guess I can realise that I am still living inside a fiction.
8: Yes. And it is quite a compelling fiction. I mean, do you not really feel as if there is a character who has chosen the pseudonym Zingdad and who is choosing to write a book called The Ascension Papers?
Z: Yes. I do. I feel like that is me.
8: And there are many people around the world who are co-creating this fiction. They also believe that there is a character called Zingdad who is writing this book called The Ascension Papers. But they experience this fiction a little differently. They experience this character as being someone who lives far away who writes these words that they can read.
But what would happen if you all should wake up now and realise that this was just a great, elaborate dream that you dreamed together? If you realised that the Zingdad character was just your character in the dream and that you are something much more? Something much more creatively powerful and real. And The Ascension Papers was not actually a book that you were writing, but that it was actually one of a number of mutually agreed upon wake-up calls that you had all arranged for yourselves. A bit like setting an alarm clock before going to sleep.
What then?
Would you then wake up and say, “Oh, those stories were just stories. And stories are unimportant and meaningless. It’s all just rubbish. Let’s forget it and go and do something real”?
Or would you see the great beauty and truth that was shown to you in these magnificent epic stories spanning many lifetimes that each of you are telling yourselves? Would you come together and share your experiences and learnings? Would you show each other your stories? Would you love and cherish the tales you had told and the meaning and value you had extracted from them?
Z: Yes. Yes. I see it.
These lives we are living are our stories. And we, collectively, are telling ourselves these stories. We are the authors of the tale and we are the characters inside the tale. And, in living these stories, we are discovering some very powerful truths about ourselves. And that is why the stories are important.
Okay.
But then, why is it important to understand about these Super Powerful Individuals?
8: It works like this: your readers experience the reality of Zingdad in their lives because their lives are impacted by your works. They believe you exist, because they read this book. And, as a result of this, they are offered choices in this work and they can decide for themselves how they are going to respond and create themselves.
But how would it be if you experience an impact on your life, but its origin is very cleverly hidden from you? You see, there are these other beings who are experiencing themselves to be these SPIs. That is the fiction they are creating for themselves in this story. And their works are quite pervasive. You’d have to live very far from so-called civilisation in order to completely avoid being impacted by their works. But you struggle to make decisions about this impact because it is not obvious what is going on. And that is what I am doing: I am helping to make overt that which was hidden.
I said before that there is no one single story that is absolutely true. I also said that there are only probabilities and perspectives. What I should add now is this: the more energy that is put into a particular probability, the more that probability gains value. The less energy that is put into it, the more it fades away into non-existence.
Z: You mean, the more we believe in something, the more real it is?
8: Something like that. You make choices, and by your choices you focus your energies. When you focus your energy on something, you add to its creation. You make it more real for yourself. If many people join together and make something real for themselves, then this thing has a greater probability. That is how a co-created world works. And sometimes you are misdirected. You are collectively mesmerised into putting your energies into things which actually feed something hidden behind it. You feed an illusion and the creator of the illusion is fed as well.
And that is what is happening here. Even though very few of you know of the existence of the SPIs, still you are very vividly and powerfully bringing them into your reality by focusing your energies on that which they are presenting to you.
So, I wish to tell you what it is that they are doing and how. Then you will be aware. Then you can release your energies from that. Then you can cease to create this for yourself. Unless of course you like it, in which case… well that would be up to you.
Z: Ah.
Thank you again for your patience, 8. I appreciate that you are prepared to nurse-maid me to my own awakening. This really does begin to make sense to me.
I am ready to get back to the story of the SPIs. I want to know how they are featuring in my story so that I can make better choices in my life.
8: That’s great. Well done.
Z: All right, so you were saying something about the 9-11 attack. You were
suggesting that maybe the SPIs were actually behind this? Really?
8: Yes. I didn’t use the example of 9-11 for nothing when I was telling you about John. I was showing you how it might be a story whose plotline is being directed by the SPIs. Such things have been going on all throughout your history. One of the best methods the SPIs have to keep their minions servile is to stoke a war. As long as people can be convinced that there is some evil other nation, evil other religion, evil other ideology, evil other whatever out there that wishes to destroy them, their family and their way of life… then sure as nuts they will be willing to put their shoulder to the wheel and do their bit. Perhaps they will even feel as if they must volunteer to go to fight in the war. And then, if they die in the war, there is just one more reason for everyone else in their family to get angry and full of hatred at the wicked enemy.
Anger and hatred… these are probably even better than debt at keeping people in duality and separateness.
And did you ever wonder about religions? Z: Religions? What specifically?
8: Well isn’t it really very, very peculiar that most religions seem to be founded upon the words and deeds of the most deeply peaceful humans who ever walked the Earth? I mean, all dogma and beliefs aside, if you go and have a look at what is at the core of these religions’ teachings, then they are about a striving for peace amongst people and a desire to do right in the world. And yet you keep finding the most fervent adherents of one of these systems of peace being whipped up to go and kill the most fervent adherents of some other system of peace. It happens so often, it’s not even thought of as strange. And sometimes the differences in faith are so minor as to be indistinguishable to outsiders.
Does this not seem really odd?
Z: Yes. I hadn’t thought about it that way before.
8: And so now I have to ask you; how does it happen that a person who believes in one of these religions with all its beautiful thoughts about loving your brother and so forth… how does it happen that such a person is persuaded to kill his other brother from another faith?
Z: I don’t know.
8: Well, I’ll tell you. It happens by the simple expedient of some leader telling him that the person of the other faith is not, in fact, his brother. He gets told that the other faith is an abomination. It is evil. And that his faith actually permits the killing of people of another faith. Not only permits it, but requires it.
Mad, huh?
That a system of love, peace and tolerance could be the very reason why you should allow yourself to be so deeply bigoted that someone who believes something just a little different from what you do, should be killed.
No internal inconsistencies there then! (he laughs sadly)
Z: Wow. That’s a very good point, 8. So why? Why would these religious leaders do that?
8: Well it’s quite simple. It’s those Super Powerful folk again. They noticed a good while ago that there were these spiritual teachings that were counter-productive to their interests. Every now and again a teacher would come around, spreading a message of love, peace, unity and tolerance that would cause a few of their minions to lose interest in the game they were creating. Sometimes there were even schools directly teaching ascension, which led to the minions exiting the game. So the Super Powerful ones devised a very cunning plan indeed. They found a way to turn these religions to their own use. Instead of allowing the religions to continue being simple sets of faith shared by people ministering to each other as brother and sister, they were politicised. Power structures were built into the religions. Dogmas were established. They were turned into organisations. Often religious leaders were more powerful than kings and emperors. And then it was decreed that the people of a certain area had to follow a particular faith. They were ordered, “You must believe this.” And if you believed differently from the dogma, you were punished. Usually very cruelly and violently and mostly ending in death. And now the people in charge of these wonderful systems of peace were suddenly men of great power. See how it works?
Z: That’s pretty sickening.
8: I can see how it might feel that way to you. But remember…
“There is not a single thing that is good or evil, but that you feel that way about it.”
