Aboreal Affection by Mark Henson

[entheognosis]

I think the (American) Indians and most traditional cultures had a much wiser world view, in that they invested every aspect of the world around them – all of nature – animal life, plant life, the landscape itself, with gods, with deity. In other words, everything was divine in some way or another. Pantheism probably led to a much wiser way of life, more capable of surviving over long periods of time. . . . Call me a pantheist. If there is such a thing as divinity . . . then it must exist in everything, and not simply be localized in one supernatural figure beyond time and space. Either everything is divine, or nothing is. All partake of the universal divinity – the scorpion and the pack rat, the June bug and the pismire. Even human beings. All or nothing, now or never, here and now.

The Prophecy

“It is most necessary that the true Teachings shall again be spread among mankind. Is it not foretold in the Book called Vishnu Purâna that the whole world will be in a terrible turmoil? The writer of that book prophecies that there will be rulers upon the earth of churlish spirit, violent temper, and ever addicted to falsehood and wickedness. They will inflict death on women and children, seize the property of their subjects; they will be of limited power, their lives will be short, their desires insatiable. People of various countries will mingle with them and follow their example; the people will perish, wealth and piety will decrease day by day, until the world will be wholly depraved. Dishonesty will be the universal means of subsistence; weakness the cause of dependence; menace and presumption will be substituted for learning; a man, if rich, will be reputed pure. He who is strongest will reign; the people, unable to bear the heavy burdens will flee; thus decay will constantly proceed, until the human race approaches its annihilation. Then, a portion of that divine Being which exists of its own spiritual nature shall descend upon Earth, endowed with super-human faculties. He will reestablish righteousness upon earth: the minds of those who are still alive shall be awakened, and shall be as pellucid as crystal. The men who are thus changed shall be as the seeds of human beings, and shall give birth to a race which shall follow the laws of the Age of Purity. This prediction is already coming to pass, and as many men as will hear should be prepared now for the coming of that great enlightenment.”
