On the morning of
March 20, 2018, as I began making a rough copy of this entry, I
sent my daughter Nina to the "first autonomous bookstore in
France" Mollat's in central Bordeaux to buy "The Vedas".
She came back empty-handed and told me, "They don't have the
Vedas. They said, 'Nobody comes in n' ask for that book, ever.'"
She concluded by the words, "Bordeaux if an heathenish city."
One billion Hindus' sacred book is unobtainable in the seventh
urban area of France. It's astounding, albeit it reflects the
French people's disinterest in the sacred Sources
and unconcern for the links likely to be between them.
I would need a vast space to introduce
the readers the Vedas, the oldest Revelation known to man or
rather the remains of it in my opinion, because the Calls
from Heaven, which the Vedas still holds, like all the Calls
from Heaven everywhere on earth have been distorted,
mutilated and tampered with by religion.
As I am short of space, I can just evoke the Vedas. I do so to
to give the readers of the blog that have no knowledge of them
an idea of what the Vedas are.
Ignoring the Vedas is not blameworthy. You may disregard them
just as you may disregard the Bible or Quran, Only The
Revelation of Arès is free from every gloss (10/10),
it is the unaltered Call for penitence and
the harvest of penitents, which the Father,
the Life, has launched.
For millennia God has called on humans to regain the Edenic
virtue. Sadly, the men that do as He says are fewer and
fewer, but the far oldest memories of the Call can
still be heard.
"Why has God always given His Word in the
wilderness? In order that no man claims It as his," says a
traditional Jewish adage that refers to the far-off days when
deserts belonged to no nation. The Vedas are likewise Revelations
that lack a host or owner, because they are only known as Sanskrit
translations, but it is well-known that they were revealed from
time immemorial in long-forgotten languages. Some say their
oldest parts date at the 19th century before Christ. The Vedas'
universality is unquestionable. We could be amazed at the fact
that they ended up in India and nowhere else, if we were unaware
that each of the ambitious founders of religion on earth has
wanted his own sacred book and dismissed all the other books, the
Vedas uncluded.
The Vedas quiver with Life (Rev of Arès 24/5) like all
divine Sources even as they are blue-penciled, distorted
or weighing down with men's books (16/12, 35/12); they
are not dead writings. Sanskrit Veda means view or knowledge
(inner view). Beneath their spoiled paganized forms the Vedas keep
on giving the ones who read them, provided they are free
(10/10) from all prejudices, an intuitive close view of the
Creator; they evade the sinful world's constraints and
enable penitents to find a right personal path towards
the Heights (25/5). Notably, the Vedas enable a lot of
Indians, those who avoid superstition, to awaken the Father's image
and likeness, the spiritual life, within
themselves and drag themselves from Evil. The Westerners should
not disregard their Far-Eastern style, because the Truth
is far more wide-ranging than the Scripture, which is just a gross
way of clumsily expressing the Inexpressible. The Vedas disconcert
a Westerner, because they mention "gods" like Brahma, Vishnu,
Shiva and so on, but they are like The Revelation of Arès which
mention the Father and the Mother, because of
the insuperable obstacle of the sinner's poor brain divided up in
partitions, which cannot conceive the One Polymorphous Infinite
Maker.
The Upanishads, which signal the move from Vedaism to Hinduism,
but who keep their Vedic core, say, "The flame keeps unchanged
over whatever burning fuel, and cows, whether fat or scraggy,
whether white or multicolored, give the same milk, and the Thruth
is like milk." Man has to conquer duality (see "nondualism" #171)
and particularly conquer his base envies which cut him off from
the True and himself and God be as one again (Rév
d'Arès xxiv/1). We have to make the noise (ii/7-13,
vii/4-16, etc.) be quiet so that we may hear the spiritual
music. Which is found in the Vedas just as it is in The
Revelation of Arès even though it's written in different
ways.
It has to be said the very significant kinship between the
Vedas and the Avesta, which is the sacred collection of books of
Zoroastrians, whose prophet had been Sarsushtratam
(Zoroaster, Rev of Arès xviii/3).
It is easier to understand the link between the Vestas and
the earthly life by remembering that Mahatma Gandhi used to
confuse "the struggle for social freedom" with "the need to meet
God face to face". This concept currently unachievable in
the West we have to achieve as The Revelation of Arès
obviously entices us to do. The Vedas, which are an enormous bulk
of texts unavailable in the French tongue — though available in
the English tongue: "The Sacred Books" —, are divided in Hymns,
Charms, Liturgy, Speculations, but the four of them interpenetrate
because they have been put in a rather inconsistent order. This is
why people say the Vedas in the plural. Their exotic look and
their "fairy tale" or "legend" side should be forgotten. What
increases the number of characters and divides the ideas when they
are read today was probably not felt as increased in number and
divisible in the far-off days of the Revelation; the words have
lost their original meanings, but when you read them
unprejudicedly, you find the path to Oneness.
On death, however, discovering, rediscovering the Vedas or
regularly reading them should really lead to further thought a Jew
obsessed by the Hebraic Bible, a Christian obsessed by the
Gospels, a Muslim obsessed by the Quran, an Arès
Pilgrim obsessed by The Revelation of Arès, any believer
on earth only stuck on his or her sacred Source.
We all are to die, for "life is short, but death is long" ("Christ
Recrucified" by Nikos Kazantzakis) and to practice a spiritual
ideal is to philosophize as well, that is, "to learn to die"
(Plato, Cicero, Montaigne), and in conclusion all believers of all
religions and unbelievers of all the reasons not to believe are to
go to the same unlimited space, that the Father by opening my cage
spread out straight ahead of me (Rév of Arès vi/1-5),
provided they have got the goodness that the Light
attracts.
How does a dying Jew picture himself? He is saved, but the goyim
(the non-jewish) go to Sheol. How does a dying Christian picture
himself? He is saved, but the others go to Hades ? How does a
dying Muslim picture himself? He goes to Paradise, but the others
suffer in Hell. And so on. Goodness gracious! What a crowd in
Sheol, Hades, Hell, in all kinds of Gehenna in store for the
tortured ones.
No! Once man is dead, religion disappears. It is not what you
believe in, read or ritualize which creates your soul
and saves you, but love, forgiveness, peace, which you free
from all prejudices and any system have been practicing; it is
what God calls penitence (Rév of Arès 30/11). Neither
the non-believer nor the one that abides by another religion
becomes a specter (4/6-7, 16/15-17, 33/32, etc.), but
any mind deprived of a soul. A specter
is about nothing; it is misfortune (33/32), but not
suffering, for only man is cruel and make others suffer, but
God never tortures anybody. Besides, on the Day (31/8)
God will remember the least splinter of bonein the
depths and the least speck of hash (33/29), all
the remains of any man whatever book a believer might have read
(Bible, Quran, Véda, Tao Te King, Guru Granth Sahib, Kojiki, etc.)
or a non-believer might have failed to read.
All the dead have the same fate, which proves that all of the
sacred Sources are consubstantial. They are very
dissimilar on the surface because cultures, poor languages with no
alternative but ellipses and allegories to tell the absolute,
local routines, historic events, religious and political
interests, which are characteristic of the sinful world,
have really left their marks on them. And yet behind the words,
styles, periods, myths, man can see the eternal Return (Rev
of Arès i/1) of our intimate relationship to the Whole, the
absolute Life, of Which God, the Father, Allah, the
Uncreated one, the Great Spirit, the One which has a thousand names,
is just a representation.
