As my eyes slowly
open, my concern is great and my fear,
even greater. The authorities are
worried about the situation, even if
they pretend to be optimistic.
Discouragement and despair are rampant
in the population. Suicides are
increasing at an alarming rate. There is
no solution in sight. Humanity is being
flushed down the evolutionary drain into
oblivion. The big question finally
arises: who can I turn to now, when I
can no longer rely on the authorities in
place? Even God, the supreme authority,
has abandoned me. Who will save me?
In reality, this
situation is not new. As always, the
rich get richer and the poor get poorer.
Kings control their serfs and masters,
their slaves. Big fish eat small fish,
as decreed by the law of the fittest. I
had been dreaming about a more
equitable, democratic and just society.
I gave full trust to those who promised
to achieve this goal. I fooled myself as
I believed parents, politicians,
priests, teachers, bankers and others. I
even fooled my own children. All of us
seemed to be trustworthy. What happened?
I HAVE
FORGOTTEN WHO I AM
For thousands of
years, I have been living in a world of
illusion. I played, and still play, a
role in a drama where I am a SHEEP, a
poor and powerless creature at the mercy
of an external authority. Whether it
represents parents, teachers, bosses,
protectors, legislators or an invisible
God, external authorities govern my life
and I must obey them.
Sometimes, I submit
to their command and I get the carrots I
coveted: power, money, and prestige. At
other times, I rebel and get sticks:
exclusion, dispossession, and
elimination. My fate is in their hands.
I am scared, very scared. I live in fear
at all times, because I never know what
will happen to me. The drama always ends
the same way, with my own death and that
of others around me. It is
hell-on-earth! The only exit door is
death. Like Benjamin Franklin once said:
“Two things are
INEVITABLE: income tax and death.”
The sheep is a
domesticated animal. All animals are
controlled by their instinctive needs.
Domesticated animals are fed and
protected by external authorities. In
exchange for this security, the sheep
relinquishes its freedom and its rights.
It submits to the shepherd, whose
function is to sheer the sheep until
there is no more wool, and then to lead
it to the slaughterhouse.
In this drama, there
is an implicit contract, a hidden
convention, between the shepherd and the
sheep. On one hand, the shepherd grants
rights and privileges to the sheep. On
the other hand, the sheep complies with
the shepherd’s authority and obeys his
rule. Like Pierre-André Paré said in
1996, when he was the Deputy Minister
for the Quebec Department of Revenue:
“Everything is a
privilege granted by the state: your
car, your home, your profession, in
short,
your life.
And what the state gives, it can take
back if you are not a docile taxpayer.”
If one of the parties
does not respect the agreement, war
ensues. Who wins? The shepherd, always!
For animals, the law of the fittest
takes precedence over anything else. The
shepherd sends his dogs/wolves on the
sheep’s tail. He is brought back to the
fold and beaten into submission.
And the sheep
submits… unless he remembers that this
nightmare is an illusion, a drama in
which he plays the role of a sheep, the
powerless VICTIM of external
authorities. Rather than cursing the
shepherd and praying for change, he can
decide to let go of the character, to
leave the stage, and to regain his true
identity.
I REMEMBER WHO
I AM
Who am I? That is the
burning issue, the ultimate question.
Sooner or later, it arises inside of us,
in a moment of intense suffering, after
the death of a loved one, or just before
our own death. The time has finally come
for us to ask this same question. Let us
examine the situation with new eyes.
If the world in which
I live is illusory and deceitful, there
must be a world of truth somewhere. In
reality, I am not a poor creature,
separated from an external creator. I am
unified, both creatrix and creature.
That is the true meaning of “indivi-duality”.
If the supreme authority is not
external, it must be internal. I
recognize and acknowledge my true
identity, in the world of reality:
I am IDESSA, [1]
unlimited creatrix of the whole
universe,
incarnated in a physical body, my
creature.
This is both bad news
and good news. It is BAD, because it
confirms that I created the present
hell-on-earth in my image and likeness,
that of a sheep. In reality, there is no
victim, no culprit, and no saviour. I am
the only creatrix, sole responsible and
sole guarantor of everything that
happens to me. When I become conscious
of being Idessa, I stop living in a
world of duality: right vs. wrong,
authority vs. obedience, soul vs. body.
The GOOD news is that unifying these
opposites celebrates the end of
division, war, disorder, slavery,
disease, old age and death. It brings
the end of death, forever. I can finally
create heaven-on-earth, as I had been
dreaming all along. In this new world of
reality, I claim loud and clear that:
“Two things are
EVITABLE: income tax and death!”
Now that I remember
who I am, I need to learn how to behave
as Idessa. I cannot go on thinking,
talking and acting as a sheep. Schools
are not yet offering “Idessity 101”
courses. However, I know that the truth
is internal and that I need to give free
rein to my soul. So, I transfer the
power from the ego to the soul. I change
my internal ruler.
THE TRANSITION
PERIOD
The internal passage
from the world of illusion to the world
of reality represents the greatest
adventure of all times. It requires
courage, determination and discipline.
There is nothing to do… but all to undo.
I need to let go of my old sheep
behaviour, so that Idessa finally
emerges, after being imprisoned inside
of matter since the beginning of times.
To achieve this goal, I ask my soul to
guide me. She knows everything and has
access to the world of truth and
reality. She is eager to help me and I
obey her command. She recommends that I
do the opposite of what I did as a
sheep. Quite a program!
So, I stop my
reliance upon external authorities. I
end my role as a kept sheep. One after
the other, I let go of all the rights
and privileges granted to the sheep by
the shepherd. The list is long….
My soul knows that
she is sovereign. She has all the rights
and no obligations. She is idessic, has
no needs and no ego. She cannot
interfere with anyone, as she is
infinite love and peace. She never makes
mistakes, so I can follow her advice at
all times. However, my old sheep is
really scared and worries constantly. He
is scared of losing his rights and
privileges and tries to stop me at all
cost. Despite his efforts, I continue to
move forward, keeping the pace that my
soul dictates.
First, I abandon
those privileges whose loss affect me
the least. Then, I go one step further.
I face bigger fears, such as letting go
of health insurance, driving license,
family allowance, old age pension,
welfare, bank account, insurance, etc.
Meanwhile, I stop submitting to the
shepherd and his laws. I have no more
wool to sheer. I am no longer a sheep
and my contract with the shepherd is now
obsolete. Progressively, my illusory
fear fades away and is replaced by my
soul’s idessic power.
On his side, the
shepherd is still caught in the drama
and continues to play his role. He
worries about to many sheep leaving the
flock and tries to retain them at all
cost. He sends his dogs/wolves at their
tail to bring them back, but there are
no more sheep, no more wool, no more
fear of dogs/wolves.
I am no longer afraid
of retaliation because I remember who I
am. The authorities may take everything
away, but they can never get my soul.
She is not for sale at any price. She
decides what goes on and her
intervention is always perfect. She is
my queen, and I obey her command.
Nothing will make me go back to the
status of a tagged and numbered sheep,
owned by a false sovereign, “Her
Majesty”. I recognize and I honour my
true identity: “Idessa, unlimited
creatrix”!
We have reached a
turning point between the outmoded
animal world and a new idessic world. We
jump from one crisis to the next, as we
prepare for the big change. We are not
facing an economic crisis, nor a
political, a social or moral crisis. In
reality, it is an evolutionary crisis.
Human beings are now going through the
passageway between animality and
idessity. It is the biggest evolutionary
jump since the beginning of times.
Unlike previous evolutions, we will not
undergo the change unwillingly, but we
will select it consciously. We have the
choice between participating in the
change or resisting it.
Personally, I am
pleased to cooperate both actively and
consciously in the evolution of human
consciousness and I thank all those who
take part in this experience.
