Wilderness Expressions, (P)1997 (C)1998 A. Alexander Volenski Tape-11, Side-2 Natural Immortalities, Love/Nature Ok...getting back to Solomon, you can see in his love poetry that survived, at least the stuff that we are able to get a hold of, that he's not only expressing the fact that he's trying to link up with her, his loved-one, he's not only trying to do that...in his own way he's expressed it in his love poetry, but he's also describing the domestic surroundings and influences that he has to deal with also at the same time. So it's quite a struggle in many different ways in order for him to accomplish that feat of completing himself, and reaching his loved-one. When you read a lot of the other writer's that have worked in this same area, you'll begin to realize that what Solomon did, he's not the only one; there's been a whole bunch of them. And even the man that originated the religion of Buddhism, if you read his stuff, you'll realize that he and his loved-one...where he's striving toward the same thing, and that establishes a religion that's been around for thousands of years. Then you read Vergil, you see he talks about his loved-one too, read Dante, Dante's 'Divine Comedy', you know he talks about his loved-one also, Beatrice is her name, and how he meets her; the Divine Comedy was written sometime about 800yrs ago in Italy (probably 700yrs is closer). Dante, quite a poet indeed, I mean, if you ever have the opportunity to get a hold of that book, you'll see. He talks about Hell and Purgatory and Heaven, and how Beatrice helps him learn everything he's been able to write down, and she represents his loved-one...and how he's able to raise his emotional and spiritual level's to a degree where he actually has 'visions' with her, actually makes contact in many different ways. And when you read the last chapter of the Divine Comedy, you'll begin to see that he's linking to her little by little, and he actually gets to her; Beatrice comes to him, through his description there... These kind of things are written about all the time...not all the time, but are written about in a lot of different places, so you can realize that what I'm talking about on this tape, and a couple tapes that will come after this one now...I'm going to really expand on it, and spend some time in it, since I have the ability to do it here, so far the environmental storm has kind of given me a little freedom; you'll begin to realize that, "hey, what Alexander Volenski's talking about is something he's come to realize, but he's not the only one," there's a lot of people in history that's realized this very same thing--it's a reality, it's really what we're all about. And they've put it together in all kinds of classical literature that has been able to survive, and passed along; get into some of that stuff and you'll find out it's...there's another fellow too, I think his book was called 'The Prophet,' he wrote about his love-bonding also; these books are all over the place. Then when you look into the artwork of the famous artist, you'll begin to see their expressions are all talking about the same very thing, I mean, look at Michelangelo's work of the Sistine Chapel for an example. You see, Adam is depicted on the ceiling, where God reaches out his arm to make contact with Adam, to help link Adam with a higher spirituality. And Michelangelo did an extremely beautiful depiction of that 'vision'; that is a Universal Vision for all Humanity, and the Catholic Church was able to accomplish a great feat by having the Sistine Chapel done...which shows that even though there's a lot of upheaval and difficult things that the Church did to it's people, still the Church is a beautiful thing; the Catholic Church has a multitude of positive aspects to it. You can see it in the Sistine Chapel as a representation of securing this 'Universal Love Bond' reality, that's part of the human species itself. When you look at the area (of the Chapel) where God is painted on the ceiling by Michelangelo (Michelangelo Buonarroti, 1475-1564) quite a personality in himself; from the history that I learned on Michelangelo--when he was commissioned to do that work, he went into the Sistine Chapel area, and he never left it until it was done. I mean, he was there, from what I understand, he never left that place for 4yrs; he was there. ...So when you look at that Sistine Chapel, that Michelangelo did over a period of 4yrs, you begin...of course he had a lot of help too...he had other artist there helping him also, to do that, he didn't do it completely by himself...but you realize that he really linked...what he put down there, his creative ability is something that is linked--wasn't manufactured, the pigments weren't given to him...he made it all himself, at least that's what I was told through the different individuals I spoke with when I was in Florence, and in Italy, and at Rome at the Vatican, and also in literature that I've read about the history of Michelangelo, and some of how he did his things. But getting back to what he depicts there in the sky on the ceiling there--where God is reaching out to touch Adam, 'and so God is making the link', he's making the spiritual link...and (what) he's (Michelangelo's) saying in that depiction...and the church is saying the same thing... 'there goes a bunch of love birds flying by...' ...the church is saying the same thing...that the spiritual level, 'that's the connection'! And when you look at the imagery of God, the features that Michelangelo gave the appearance of God, you'll see next to God a 'Woman', she's right next to God...she's kind of like next/by his left arm, and she's peering over his shoulder looking at Adam; that femininity is a very beautiful depiction of Adam's loved-one...you see, that's how it's symbolized, at least that's how I visualize this universal-bonding, this universality of ourselves; this is giving you an example of where you can see it in artwork. When you begin to look at the artwork of the whole world, you begin to see different aspects of where it's related and how it all works together...and there are a lot of other things tied into it because, in some of the other artworks you'll find also struggles, they'll be depicting the struggles that a human goes through in order to reach the completeness of themselves, and be in complete contact with their loved-one...I mean, you'll see the struggle, there are a multitude of struggles! Like I said earlier, it's not an easy thing, don't think it's just going to happen real easily, because it's going to take an awful lot...it may not take physical struggles so much in a lot of ways, but it's going to take a lot of emotional struggles within yourself, because you're going to be able to sit down and begin to understand a lot about yourself, and clear communications and visions about yourself, and your loved-one; and how beautiful that loved-one really is, and how it really feels at peace, and the completeness...it radiates it into your inner-self. ...None of this struggle has been easy for any of us, and your going to have those kind of things. If you are able to be at peace with the world, and remind yourself that that's what you want, and that the natural innocence and strength of the planet can help you be at peace with it...at the same time that will help you understand these emotions that will flow through your body...I mean, they'll, in some cases send complete tingles through your whole self...it happens...so...then from those types of episodes, you sort of become more mature... And when you have a relationship with the opposite gender, and what happens is that they're in touch with this same kind of thing, so in a way they represent your loved-one, 'they personify your loved-one', and whatever actions they take and do, and how they reflect with you...is kind of a communication from the loved-one within you. And, "if your very sincere, and really love the one your with," what you'll do is communicate to that feminine gender--if your a man, you'll communicate to that feminine gender, her masculine gender, and its expressions, and that's how you'll have a sharing of this love- bond... You'll reach all kinds of peaks together of realities, and visionary realms, by sharing that kind of energy sincerely with each other, and showing compassion and understanding, and not allowing...not dominating your love partner, or your sensuality partner in any way, but letting both yourselves share equally. Then you'll have sensualities that will be way beyond anything you ever imagined; it's unbelievable what one can get from that kind of thing, that kind of relationship. I think why a lot of relationships dissolve and fall into a divorce state, is because the things I just mentioned aren't reached, there's a void; a void starts...so communications break down...sometimes love couples separate because they don't realize that they're not communicating that love-bonding, in the way that they started communicating at the beginning of their relationship. ...And what that does, it sets up a very difficult thing for the children to have to deal with, because then the children, who are born out of a love-bond, and know that's all part of them, (they) don't understand...it's hard for them to understand why a love-bond (marriage) would have to be broken...even though it may not be the complete love-bond with the 'loved-one' of the individual, still it represents that very same thing...because it's a form of interaction, it's a form of personification, depicting that part of ones individuality. ...The young children have to understand that it wasn't their parents at all that caused all this stuff, it's just the (social) environment, and the way things are run...and to realize that they do have a love-bond also, no matter what their parents may have done. That every human being has this, that every human being all through the last 7000yrs are made up of this thing; I mean it's vast--it's big! ...It's because of what it (the love-bond) is, that is why you have what you have, because you are it! You are a form of it's consciousness. That's part of the unique quality of the human species; and that it's a re-generating thing, it's growing, it's a growing thing--it continues to grow, there's no limit to it. "There's no beginning or end to it," that's what you have to understand, and it may be hard to understand that particular statement, but you just have to accept it, that that is the true reality, that's one of the 'Universal Answers,' that there's no- beginning-or-end; it's always existed in one way or another...and that your a form of that consciousness, it's that pure...it's the purest thing you can ever imagine. There's so much about it that you're supposed to know about, you're born to know about it, it's part of you, it's part of you because you're part of it..."you are it!" That's just a couple more things that go along with this particular theme. And I think the younger generation should also realize, that wars, destroy a lot of bridging too, bridges that have been established. 'War is a form of divorce also', it's a form of...some kind of a form of separation, and that's why it takes place; it's also a form of not recognizing something... ...something in another Nation that's a love expression of some sort, it's not recognizing that expression--and it's completely ignoring; and that's how a lot of these wars get started. A lot of times too in history, you see where there were certain leaders that hadn't developed themselves into some of the areas I've talked about on all these tapes...they were never able, for some reason or another, to reach that higher emotional and spiritual level of awareness, of what the overall pattern is of, what's going on...on the Earth here, and its link to the Universe. They (the leaders), weren't able to visualize it that way. So their visionary realm was closed down, it was very narrow, and eventually it turned in on itself. It's like they looked into a multitude-- they walked into a room with a multitude of mirrors, and the only thing they saw was what they were...and what happened...the fact that they were lacking a whole bunch of things...and they didn't know how to put those things there, so they couldn't develop themselves in their own visionary and intellectual level...and they became very bitter with themselves. That bitterness was reflected back through the mirror...I'm just using a room of mirrors as an example...but that bitterness began to reflect back on them, and what that did to those particular leaders through history, is that it created a realm of degeneration, in the sense that it turned in on itself; it started to consume...they started to consume themselves in many ways. It was kind of like a form of cannibalism, a form of spiritual cannibalism, but it was being inflicted to themselves, they were devouring themselves...and they realized subconsciously, if only subconsciously, that this was destroying them...the way they were, it was destroying them...and they reached out for hand-holds to get away from it...and what happened is, they tried to push it away from themselves, and they placed it on another Nation. They found wrongs in other Nations and things, and what they did, they reached out in the form of war, and created a war with another Nation. And from that, it created a separation within both those Nations, and that separation not only separated the two Nations...and created a conflict, war, and killing, that came from it, from the armies--and that's a tragedy...and war is a tragedy...it's real easy to understand that it is a very, very, tremendously big tragedy, and it should be averted in any way possible...that's the last thing a person ever wants to ever come in contact with... ...and it's not natural...war isn't natural at all for us to even have to experience! It's an unnatural type of destructive expression, and it's also a form of spiritual cannibalism, a kind of a form of a high hostility of some sort; it is only there, because it has no way of understanding or gaining the spiritual nourishment it needs! You see, it those leaders in history that created those wars, were in contact with their loved-one, in one way or another, I think they would have been in a higher healthy state...and they wouldn't have been unhealthy spiritually, they would have been in a higher healthy state, and they would have had spiritual nourishment coming to them, that would open their visionaries...and it would have also broadened their wisdom, and their knowledge, and understanding of what was going on around them...and the direction that would be healthy for all their people in their Nation. But by not having that, and having that bitterness, they created a lot of wars, and from that everyone suffered. And it held things down, and in a lot of cases it shut down whole cultural developments...and created Dark-Ages and suffering, and plagues...it destroyed the habitats in many of these regions of the world where they've had this kind of problem... ...I think if those leaders...I think in a lot of cases, those particular leaders would liked to have stepped down, and given the leadership to somebody else, but who was around? There wasn't anyone around to even let them (the leaders) become aware of where the problem was... ...so everybody...all the powerful individuals that were in their circle, were in the same problem also! They were all suffering from the same kind of ailment...you know...because it became contagious, you see, and so...it's no different with any kind of contagious type of thing, the only reason it manifests itself, is because something is missing, there's an imbalance of some sort there...a spiritual imbalance also. If one strives to be complete within themselves, and be in touch with their loved-one within themselves, and understands this defination, and the way I've laid it out on this tape...and realize that your more than just yourself, or just with one-twin...there's quite a few other couples that are all attached to you also. ...and that you're all linked together, and that each human, each individual human, has all the multitude of links within themselves, once you get into all that, and begin to realize that it's a reality and truth, and not just something Alexander Volenski said, it's something that he also...he realizes, because he's tried to define it, and found the true answers that he understands are true...but also it's written about in all the ancient myths and legends of the world...and you can see it depicted in the artwork of Michelangelo, as one example...and in a lot of the literary works... ...the musical area is an extremely powerful zone, it links with the spiritual realm very directly, the musical harmonic's are very powerful, and if those harmonic's aren't developed in the spiritual direction--you'll run into all kinds of conflicts...and it creates all kinds of destructive elements...elements that manifest out of it because...it creates a paradoxical-contrast...contrarieties really get strong--extremes... ...I think you understand what I mean, these contrarieties create all kinds of paradox's, and that creates all kinds of different things that lead to discontent and separations...I think how I got into this particular few minutes is that I was talking about the fact that the...I was trying to communicate to the young generations that have come up from broken families...or unmarried couples. ...you've got to realize, that in many ways we're all orphans on this planet, and it doesn't matter who we are...we're all in some way an orphan, we're alone in that aspect...that we've got to reach out and make contact with the loved-one within us...the one that's really part of us, 'our completeness'. Once we do that, then something else will take place, we'll be transformed into something else, and what happens is that...until that takes place, we're like orphans, all of us, "so you children out there, and you young people that came from an orphan background, realize that--everybody is an orphan on this planet, for the last 7000yrs they're all orphans in one way or another, so we're all in it together." So that will help...when you understand that, that will help you to understand also, that your not alone in any of this, that we're all struggling. That a lot of individuals may not say this to you, or express it to you, but I am, because I know it's a reality, it's a truth! And that will give you some strength and realization that your not alone in any of this, and we're all struggling, but we're all struggling for a greater-good, and we're all part of a greater-good, because we're part of the Galaxy itself, and that is the pure greater- good of it all...and that we're a form of consciousness of that, and we're on a planet Earth, we're isolated in many ways...but there are things out there in the Universe that are trying to help us in one way or another, and they're communicating through our loved-ones within us...and if we can make clearer contact with our loved-one as we strive to be more complete...we'll be able to open up and hear some of those messages, and infiltrate them into our cultures, and share them with the other orphans on this planet... ...Some of the barriers that have been created, and kind of manifested themselves in the last 25yrs, are extremely potent and dangerous...we can counteract those things and dissolve them, and move into a better social and cultural dimension. And one way of doing it is...what I harped on so much in the majority of these tapes is..."hey, let's open up and not isolate our cultural development in such a small percentage, in proportion to the population we have," let's open it up, and that will help reach these goals that I'm talking about on these tapes...the 'Universal Goal,' the Altimates are there, and we have to have them...otherwise you know, the struggle will continue in one way or another--you can't get away from it... In many ways there's always a happy ending, but why have thousands and thousands of years of turmoil and tragedy, that we can see in the history of the last 7000yrs; there's been a lot of good phases in the last 7000yrs that haven't had a lot of tragedy and turmoil, but they're hardly ever talked about, and brought out into forms of communication, that can be recognized and shared with the present time world. Most of what we see are the tragedies in history, and that really is accentuated and magnified in many ways...it's sort of what I was talking about, the ancient leaders that turned in on themselves, and ended up in a room of mirrors. and the only thing they saw was the bitterness within them... ...If you focus on this area of love, it's a universal thing; it's 'Cosmic', it's part of the Galaxy itself... ...One must realize, that love is the link, the 'immortal link' to yourself, your immortality, that's where it is... So...well I don't know if I'm going to break camp and go to town or not...it's getting late in the day, and I'm running low on this tape, and also running--getting a little bit tired, running down on energy, there's only so much I can do...each day I try to do the best I can though...it's a beautiful afternoon, maybe I'll just take a drive down the road and think about it for a little bit, we'll see what happens... It's raining across the valley over there, a whole bunch of rain drops coming down out of that one cloud, and I'm thinking there's probably a couple clouds coming over the top of me here that are going to have some of that also...I really...it would have been nice to take a panoramic-view of all this on video, however I imagine someone someday will do something like that...I hope they do. Ok...I'm running down on this tape...what I'm going to try and do on tape-12, is see if I can do some of this immediate-poetry, polyphonic verse; I'll try and do a little bit and see what happens, see where it goes, it will be quite an experience. I don't know whether or not I'll be able to present it in this series---that's why I'm going to put it on another tape. It's kind of a very personal thing too, I don't mind sharing some of the personal things about what I'm looking for in my own development...but, I'm not going to stand in the way of whatever comes; I'm just going to let it happen... ~ [end of tape 11; Natural Immortalities, Love/Nature] [next...tape-12, Prose/Poetry, Expressions in the Immediate] [note: text is yet to be proof read] This page created August 98 updated July 99 members.tripod.com
