New alliances and new horizons

Alliance is a fundamental principle for survival, both human (body) and spiritual (essence). If you do not ally with a specific party, you will inherently create one with another, directly or indirectly. 

The presupposition always sticks with the comprehension of two parties + one, which will fundamentally become two in its own definition.

Let’s say there are two teams and someone, from one of the teams, invites you to be a part of their team, but you then choose to be your own team. As a result, you’ve officially, or unofficially, formed a new party.  Although you decided on a third party in this scenario, overall, the scenario is divided into two: you and the others. 

The responsibility of choosing

We then understand that by making a choice you have to be concerned with the responsibility of that choice. That is, whatever you choose, even if you think it is the right choice, the inherent repercussion of it is your onus. It’s something you have to accept and “carry your cross” (Jesus, according to Matthew, 16:24).

For example: in a disagreement between two friends you decided to go for a neutral response.

Now, this neutral response brings two choices that might build up: First, an individual one, where you will have a hard time making it clear or not. Second, a collective one, where you can extract what is common in both arguments and strive for a balanced position. Regardless, no matter what you decided to say or do, in the end, you have to bear the repercussions of denial.

Power = Frailty

My utmost point is that you cannot escape the duality of life. Even if you believe in exercising power to control the results of your choice consciously. The result will generate frailty in its own existence.

Being responsible is not only knowing the choices you make but also the ones you cannot make. So, what can fill that necessary gap? Trust. Faith in the alliances that you make and that exist in another realm beyond the material. In short, it is faith in God, in Christ, in our Holy Mother, and the Spirits of Light–although we must be careful to not tend ourselves to destructive alliances with ignorant spirits. 

All alliances have direct repercussions for the individual and the collective.

Spiritual Alliances of the East

One that we see is highlighted by the Apocalypse of Jesus, according to John, 16:12. That is the emerging alliance coming from the East: 

— The sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up, to prepare the way for the kings from the east.

This alliance of the kings from the East is not only an emergency of political aspects, but also cultural, religious, and economic ones. In addition to the expansion of Oriental religious traditions to the West, like Buddhism and Yoga, as well as rites and ceremonies that the West has the habit of rationalizing it.

Hence, the kings of the East may be the good aspects of religiosity and spirituality, in ways that will encourage us to start seeing the reality of life as an unison of Spirit and matter.

Let us also not forget that the Christianity of Christ was born in the Middle East. And even though some may think it doesn’t mean much, we can still engage in this notion and realize that it literally came to promote balance in the world. Uniting the reason of the West with the Spirituality of the East. Think about it.

Which alliance do you want to be part of? I, personally, choose the One from the Good Shepherd (John, 10:11), which promotes the balanced relationship of a multitude of Souls devoted to God’s Love (Apocalypse, 7:9-10).

— And I have other sheep that are not of this fold. I must bring them also, and they will listen to My voice. So there will be One flock, One Shepherd.

Jesus (John, 10:16)
