Idolatry

I visited a workshop in Greece that produces icons according to Byzantine models. I asked the saleswomen whether they had any icon dedicated to a friend of mine who is still regarded in the Eastern Church as a saint. I was shown, among a pile of others, two gilded little portraits. For just 22 euros I could have given someone genuine pleasure. Looking closely at the icon, I did not recognize the person. It was not my friend; the energies were wrong and it was not the same figure. I was disappointed, and the saleswomen could not understand what my problem was. I was reminded, incidentally, of an old confusion from my school days, when I still believed in the authenticity of artifacts from sacred paintings. My reasoning was based on the assumption that every image, every likeness of any saintly person, painted over two thousand years by tens of thousands of hands, was indeed an authentic likeness of that person, and not a depiction of a pretty girl or the sponsor’s “sister.”
In the literature surrounding regression there is no information about Moses and the group that inspired him to act. No one has yet told us what purity of gold the tablets of the Decalogue had. Were they made entirely of gold, or only gilded? I will recall here the text of the First Commandment:
“You shall have no other gods before Me. You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is on the earth beneath, or that is in the waters under the earth. You shall not bow down to them nor serve them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and the fourth generation of those who hate Me, but showing mercy to thousands of those who love Me and keep My commandments.”
The promised retribution in the fourth generation is easy to understand for those familiar with homeopathy. There occurs a significant dilution, 1:10 or 1:100, of the remedy (substance, intention), yet it acts with enormous force disproportionate to the amount administered. In the case of karma, what has been sown is carefully harvested, including what until now was overlooked. Here a minister steals a million, there he embezzles two million, and then he is surprised that his hand is cut off for stealing a single apple.
I myself once had an encounter with idolatry. I was praying together with a female acquaintance. I saw a cone of her thoughts directed straight at my third eye. She was praying to me, asking me to fulfill her requests. I was not prepared for this, nor did I have any ability to fulfill them. Our shared earlier incarnation and an old practice repeated many times made themselves known.
Another example. For several years after I stopped working at a certain workplace, at least once a week I dreamed that I was still working there for their benefit. In the dream information appeared that no one was paying me for it. Seeking an explanation for this strange free labor, I entered my inner garden in meditation, into my heart. In a corner by the fence, on a pedestal, stood a white Asian figure of a long-forgotten goddess. Asked for help, the GARDENER who tended the garden, together with an assistant, carried the figure on its pedestal outside the garden space, where the destruction of the statue took place. I smashed it into fine dust; it was over. After a moment, the figure rebuilt itself spontaneously. In rising panic I destroyed it with fire, a volcano, lightning, and many other methods. Each time it regenerated. Only a prayer for divine help, for complete liberation, helped. Friendly hands appeared and gently removed a ten-centimeter figurine from my heart. The wounded heart ached for several hours afterward.
I do not know how I managed to lodge this figure in my heart. Most likely through long meditations, prayers, and visualizations. The figurine embodied energies associated with a deity, occupying space intended for love. These energies guided me toward experiences and practices that had not previously been part of my life plan. I myself wrote and installed a viral program of action inconsistent with the plan of God, the Creative Force of Love, for me. In the remaining digestive organs, as a souvenir from Hellas, I stored—visualized in hypnosis and frenzy—an entire menagerie of animals.
When the figure of the goddess Kali resides in the heart, long night shifts in hospitals and connecting to another’s vein await us. If it is Shiva, then the world will soon be destroyed, and so on. We can have various gods of any country or place that was once important to us residing in our hearts.
Let us imagine the energy of the heart as a large egg. For simplicity, as a chest or a barrel with equal edges one meter long and a volume of one cubic meter, that is, 1,000 liters. If a figurine of an ancient deity resides in the heart, it has some volume; let us assume one liter. This liter, occupying space originally intended for divine love, displaces it from the heart. Add to this a beloved, personified contemporary Christian deity. We now have two liters. A homosexual old love for a former partner from the Sacred Theban Legion. Together, three liters. Attachment to mountains, preferably very high ones (Tibet, Olympus), bringing it to five liters. Attachment to the Atlantean astral adds another three liters. That means the chakra is closed by 8 percent. After summing up the various things accepted into the heart, little space remains for pure love, and the heart chakra is closed by 90 percent. The free space is 10 percent—just enough for love, appearing here and there, to bind everything together and protect it from complete disintegration.
Let us also consider what is not present in our heart. One who does not love money does not have money for everyday life. One who has closed the heart to the sexual aspect of love does not experience sex. Some guides advise that what we lack should be visualized as a symbol in our heart. Then this symbol should be sent upward for realization by the Higher Self. Let us be careful that through inattention some splinter does not lodge in our heart for centuries.

Worship of images and sculptures – golden calves – is only one form within the domain of idolatry.

Recently I saw a beautifully painted image of an angelic being. Large wings, open chakras, pure other energies.

I showed it to several other people who can see energetically, and the opinion was unanimous. The image has great healing powers, even from severe illnesses.

There is only one “but”…

1. A certain being (a Soul) was painted, desiring to help others through healing and even possessing such energetic capabilities.
2. God of all Souls also desires healing, not so much of others alone, but of everyone, including the Soul that wants to heal through itself by using its own powers.
3. One of the fundamental divine laws has been violated, because someone assumes that HE (the Soul) will become the source of healthy energies for others. For such a “service,” those being healed will nevertheless have to compensate energetically in some way, even in the form of repayment of a debt.
4. As a result, the one “healing others” has a blockage placed above the 7th chakra. It is a thick horizontal line cutting across the chakra channel, a signal from ABOVE: “God does not supply this process with His energies. You are dealing exclusively with self-will.”

The image I saw was beautiful in its energies and aesthetic execution. However, there are paintings of saintly figures who suffered martyrdom and are shown surrounded by the place of execution or with an instrument of torture. For example, someone roasted on a grate is shown holding a metal grate in their hand. A beheaded person holds an axe, or, as I once saw in Lower Silesia, their own head on a silver tray.

One might think that someone is collecting souvenir photographs from their own past incarnations. But why is it always a view against the backdrop of a gallows, or a condemned person being thrown from a bridge?

Why does deadly seriousness once again appear on the mouths of painted or photographed contemporary saints?

Yesterday you told me to be careful and not to bow to icons, and I did so. But today I was watching videos about bows, and there you explain not to bow to any image, poster, or doll. I have a lamp shaped like a frog on my bedside table, and all this time I was bowing to the frog. What consequences might this have?

[20:27:25] Sławomir Majda:
…I don’t know, but bow now to the Creator Himself with correction and, if necessary, apologies. God is literal. Totemic deities are various; frogs may also have been worshipped somewhere. Zeus’s eagles, bears, and others were once the norm.

A frog – or rather a toad – is a symbol and companion of witches, is it not so in fairy tales?

[07:21:58] KLARA: Hi, MD (my Soul) has reflections… if the body dies and the Soul is immortal, then why are there cemeteries?

[08:25:23] Mirka: And what do you think?

Look at doctrines, pagans, ancestor cults – praying to the dead.

[08:26:33] KLARA: Something has to be done with the body after death.

Worship… praying to the dead.

(Earlier)… e.g. I go to my grandfather’s grave and talk to him: “Grandpa, help me…”

Idolatry.

[08:28:44] Mirka: And who said the body has to die? I know such mental tricks.

[08:29:57] KLARA: …but if Grandpa reincarnated and may be someone else, and the previous incarnation is… in the cemetery?

[08:31:23] Mirka: Not the previous incarnation – the body.

[08:31:32] KLARA: The body.

[08:31:48] Mirka: …so?

Let your Soul speak about its (previous) incarnations… after all, it is a Soul and knows where its bodies’ ashes are.

[08:33:39] KLARA: I think it would speak, and it does, but it blocks my ears…

[08:34:11] Mirka: That means it is not speaking.

Look at the pharaohs, mummification,

the afterlife,

cult.

They also buried bodies because they feared revenge from beyond the grave, that diseases would spread, etc.

[08:34:55] KLARA: I don’t want to return to them… since it doesn’t want to tell me.

[08:35:46] Mirka:
<<<< “I think it would speak, and it does,” meaning it does not want to.

They probably pray to your Soul, invoke it.

[08:36:12] KLARA: Monika, do you go to cemeteries?

[08:36:59] Mirka: I’ve been there more than once, but I avoid that place.

I pray for protection from going there.

But I don’t pray at graves.

Recently I was there… two years ago, something like that.

[26/06/2013 23:04:13] Marlena: Hmm… because it’s hard for those people who, like me before, used Reiki, runes, cards, etc.

Probably it’s hard for them to grasp all this mentally.

For example, I feel much better now in terms of health.

[26/06/2013 23:05:20] Mirka: That’s the most important thing.

[26/06/2013 23:05:43] Marlena: I used to look for help everywhere except from the Creator.

And I constantly felt bad or feared that I was seriously ill.

Although deep inside something told me that there is a Creator and that I should turn to Him.

…

I don’t even know how to explain to friends how it really is,

because earlier it was me who proposed help with Reiki, runes, etc.

[26/06/2013 23:08:01] Mirka: You’ll say you stopped because you felt bad 😉

[26/06/2013 23:10:07] Marlena: I came to the conclusion that requests should be addressed to the BOSS (THE CREATOR), not to intermediaries.

[26/06/2013 23:10:28] Marlena: This, at least, friends are still able to accept 🙂

[26/06/2013 23:11:07] Mirka: One should avoid the temptation to turn to others as a source of information, guidance, or healing, instead of seeking attunement with the Creator.

In other words, although others may be helpful, our trust must be placed in Him. Anyone can make someone into a false prophet if they put rigid structures first. 😉

“Remember that there is no shortcut to the awareness of divine power. It is part of your consciousness, but it cannot be realized merely through desires. Too often there arises a tendency to desire and expect it without accepting spiritual truth through the mental process. And this is the only path leading to the goal. There are no shortcuts in metaphysics, and it does not matter what those who have visions, interpret numbers, or read the stars tell you.”

In the Monastery of St. Gabriel, when local women come, the nuns fill a bowl with water and place it for an hour on the grave of the saint. Then they take the skull of St. John and, while reciting appropriate prayers, fill the skull with water, which they then pour over the woman’s head. This causes the woman to have a child. According to the nuns, this method has never failed.

“And this is at a time when wrestlers and pankratiasts who compete in the Olympic Games are honored with statues, and the same reward is given to winners of horse races. But not only such men, but also effeminate men – of whom it is unclear whether they are men or women – are painted on wooden panels by those eager to gaze upon them, so that their memory may be preserved as long as possible. Although this memory brings harm to souls rather than benefit, depending on whether they love these or those, to their own detriment they honor one or another through painting. And since mortal nature becomes prey to death, mixing colors and transferring images of these persons onto panels, they imagine that the memory of them will last far longer than their lives.”

The text comes from the Biblical Book of Baruch.Link.

3 Behold, you will see in Babylon gods of silver, gold, and wood, carried on shoulders, who inspire fear among the nations.
4 Take heed, therefore, lest you become like foreigners and be seized by fear of these gods.
5 When you see a crowd going before and behind them, paying them homage, say in your heart: To You alone is worship due, O Lord!
6 For my angel is with you, and he himself will watch over your souls.
7 A craftsman has smoothed the tongues of these gods, but they themselves, gilded and silvered, are a fraud and cannot speak.
8 Like a maiden who loves adornments, they place wreaths on the heads of their gods.
9 It happens that priests steal gold and silver from their gods and use it for their own needs, and they also give it to prostitutes under the roof.
10 They dress in garments, like men, gods of silver, gold, and wood, who cannot protect themselves from rust and worms.
11 When they clothe them in purple robes, they wipe dust from their faces, which settles on them in great abundance in the temple.
12 One holds a scepter as if a ruler of a country, but he cannot kill anyone who offends him.
13 Another holds a sword and an axe in his right hand, but he cannot defend himself in war or against thieves.
14 From this it is clear that they are not gods; therefore, do not fear them!
15 As a broken vessel becomes useless to a man, so it is with their gods placed in temples.
16 Their eyes are full of dust stirred up by the feet of those who walk by.
17 Like one who has offended a king and is surrounded by closed courtyards, as one condemned to death, so priests secure their temples with doors, locks, and bars so that they may not be robbed by thieves.
18 They light lamps for them, even more than for themselves, yet these gods cannot see a single one of them.
19 They are like a beam in a house: their interior, as they say, is eaten away, because worms coming out of the earth devour them together with their garments, and they feel nothing.
20 Their faces are blackened by the smoke rising from the temple.
21 Bats, swallows, and other birds fly onto their bodies and heads, and cats walk over them.
