Editorial Avenue: No. 04, 15th January 2024
The Japanese have the following saying: “Mizu Ni Nagasu”. Lexically, it means to ‘Let it flow in the water’ but idiomatically, it expresses the thought that what is done is done and the past should as such be let go of.
This has been reminisced about within popular culture as the Zen art of being able to forgive and forget. It’s a metaphor that’s been conceptualised as one’s ability to let go of that which heavily burdens our hearts through the ultimate sacrificial act, that of drifting with the flow of the waters and setting aside past misdemeanours.
As the year 2024 surges over your homes, Humanity comes face to face with challenges that appear to be both unforgivable and unforgettable. When families, communities and livelihoods are repeatedly threatened and the world stage finds itself amid a dark battle, it can be counterintuitive to allow oneself to go with the flow. Your instincts, your intuitions and the entirety of your being all move against the concept.
Yet today, we do ask you to go with the flow, but to do so with the flow of righteousness. To be the right one on the battlefront is to stand alone in the face of a chosen enemy. To be righteous instead symbolises standing unified with your fellow brothers and sisters in the face of evil. This nuance is necessary as the first enemy to be overthrown is that of the ego-self or the trickster that masks all forms of higher consciousness. The second enemy to be defeated is the nature of evil itself and not its illusory counterpart, which is the fabrication of the physical enemy that you spar with in the name of love - A love that is picked up and placed at the highest possible point in a personal system of values; the love for your people, the love for your family, the love for your home.
Sadly, we must advise caution on this matter since a love based on a personal system of values, however right it may seem in the moment, masks your ability to seek counsel from an elevated moral ground where guidance about how to act righteously can be proposed. Conflicts arise owing to groups having different points of views on the values that they will prioritise within their respective cultures. But the Humanity that we refer to is One and it has one collective system of values that are shaped through God’s ways. Put simply, prosocial behaviours rely on a system of values that will act as a guideline for separating social disorders from social functioning. But value systems in turn rely on a hierarchical structure that allows the human mind to delimit what stands at the highest possible point (ex: benevolence, honesty) and what is of a lower value (ex: tradition, conformity). These hierarchical structures in turn are manifested out of the consciousness of God and God’s higher authority: the Hierarchy.
The Hierarchy operates like an ecosystem. There are interconnected layers, but each one expands higher and higher above all the way up to the Source. Fundamentally, life is linked to the Hierarchy for the Hierarchy is God’s Order and Structure in the multiverse.
As such, may your service to the cause of defeating evil not become a disservice through your choosing of a path of personal values that shall lead you astray and farther away from your eternal home.
“Mizu ni Nagasu”.
To forgive another implicitly denotes a forgiveness of self for that which we feel within shall be reflected in our outside reality. You must therefore lead your own mind with strength and willpower as you acknowledge personal misdemeanours or miscreation that have led to the karmic route you find yourself entangled in today. It is truly a challenge that Heaven understands since the above-mentioned trickster veils your eyes to the sight of all that is Truth and thereby the realisation that True forgiveness is an act of love. A heart filled with hatred for the enemy is unable to express the encompassing divine reality of love.
Alas, to flow with the waters with a wound that never heals is not what was ever aspired for you at the time of your divine creation. Unbar the doors to Truth and let your conscience be guided by it step by step as you defend not what is right to you but what is righteous for the collective all.
The ink of your past histories tells a story as old as time itself. Let the ink flow anew as you recover the powerful and real history of a human civilisation borne out of the Light.
God save me.
