Blasphemy: A Quick Road To Hell
(Some debts can never be repaid)
Blasphemy is the commission of that special contradiction [by deed, and by intent] wherein an individual dishonors the very force or concept which he had, in his heart of hearts, previously honored; such that the deed is in an attempt to satisfy his present needs at the cost of tarnishing his Maat. Mostly, an individual commits blasphemy when he utters what he believes to be a sacred word just for the shock of it. It is important to understand that the commission of a Blasphemy by deed or by intent need not be limited to denying one's religious nature falsely... nor denying one's inner spirituality, independent of what difference may exist between one's religious beliefs and one's spiritual beliefs.
Example: Let us say that there is an individual who, in his heart of hearts, believes in God, and, that he really wants to have a date with a special someone. Furthermore, let's say that in the course of conversation with his special someone, the individual discovers that the special someone claims that she does not believe in the existence of a God.
To further his hidden agenda, to get a date with her, let's say that this individual decides to lie; in that this individual states that he, too, does not believe there is a God. Here lies the first misdeed.
However, later, after having succeeded in dating her, regardless if he enjoyed the date or not, and, regardless if sees her again, and, regardless if he later tells her the truth he does believe in the existence of a God, when another need arises, he asks his God to help him understand what is wrong with his special lady, in the guise that he may help her. Here lies the second misdeed of the interaction. The individual is guilty of the blasphemy of dishonor.
Firstly, the individual in the above example committed the blasphemy of dishonor; in that, he dishonored himself by denying his own beliefs;
Second, he dishonored his lady by not being truthful with her. She might not have given him a second thought if she knew that he believed in the existence of a God. It did not matter in the interchange if she really did believe in the existence of a God or not, it only mattered that he lied to get what he wanted from her. Even more important, everything that happened on that date did not truly belong to him, because the happenings were under false conditions--he stole the interaction from her!
Third, he dishonored the very concept of God by placing the love of his God on the block, to be negotiated or otherwise traded off just so he would have the possibility of spending a few moments of pleasure with her; as opposed to his true belief of wishing to spend an eternity with his God; the lie of his blasphemy would stand in his way of spending eternity with what he believes to be his God. In some future life, this deed must be un-done.
Fourth, he dishonored the very concept of his God by asking his God for help after having denied his Gods' existence. Where is the logic of asking for something from the very thing, person, or power that was already denied, just for the sake of a little physical pleasure.
Finally, he dishonored his Maat by lying, for the sake of a few moment's pleasure. Since one's Maat is one's inner, unchanging concept of absolute truth, the deed becomes a blasphemy against himself, as well as against her. Thus, in the single deed of the lie to get a date with her, he has obtained, at the very least, five karmic bonds which must be dealt with in the future.
We must remember that all concepts in the language are, in themselves, continuums. In the case of the label Blasphemy, the continuum deals with a matter of degree, as opposed to The Presence and/or The Absence of Blasphemy. Being a continuum unto itself, there are many other behaviors which are, in themselves, a form of blasphemy. Some of the examples might be as follows:
It is important to understand that Karmically, there are three types of bonds--for-bonds, against-bonds, and with-bonds. A for-bond occurs when an individual commits a deed against someone for someone else. Example: An assassin who is hired to murder. It is the fact that he is committing the deed for someone that creates a for-bond. Needless to say, there is also an against-bond there, too.
A with-bond occurs when you go with the assassin to do the deed. In such a condition, all three karmic bonds are happening, at the same time--the for-bond because the assassin is doing it for you; a with-bond because both you and he/she are in the process of committing the foul deed; and, the against-bond because the foul deed is being committed against some person, place, or thing that has either meaning, or life.
A point which might be of extreme interest is the fact that a Blasphemy against the Species of which a life-form is a part, such as a man /women committing suicide because they are totally rejecting their membership in The TwinSpecies: Man, is the only transgression against that species which will result in that life-form having to suffer The Oblivion!
In the case of humans, going into The Oblivion means that the individual involved will lose all kindred with all other humans. That individual will then have to descend still lower upon the ladder which leads down into The Grand Maya, the dream of the separation from The All; that individual will have to descend along the Continuum of Life-forms until he reaches the next lower point of the Continuum of Life-forms. Again, in the case of a human, that human will, most likely, become another member of the Family of The Great Apes.
However, that will not be the end of it. Even as an ape the individual will not be able to forget his time of being 'human', but he will not be able to remember, either. There will always be the feeling nagging at him that there's more to his life than what he presently knows, if he could only remember. Still, that part of him that remembers his 'Man' time will drive him like a harpy, even as that part of him that is ape will pull him to be like an ape, albeit, it will not quite succeed.
Bear in mind that not only are there levels/points to the continuum of Blasphemy, there are also degrees as well--each degree carries its own karmic bonding.
In the case of using a person's name in vain for the sake of drama, for example, "Jesus Christ, what the hell did you do that for!", Blasphemy carries a certain weight depending upon many factors. For instance; what is the intent and in what context was it said?
If any individual is Christian and believes that Jesus Christ is his savior, and uses his name in vain, the level of blasphemy will be much higher than for someone who is not Christian and does not believe that Jesus Christ is his savior. However, for the individual who is not a Christian, there is still blasphemy occurring. If the individual dishonors another's sacred beliefs, for the shock value, then he dishonors his friend, as he dishonors himself, not to mention that he dishonors the other's belief in the sacredness of the name that was taken in vain.
This is due to the fact that some individual's name that was believed to be sacred, and subsequently, the individual, is being used as an object of verbal aggression. This aggression separates the species. All acts which separate the unity, of Man, as these do, are blasphemes.
What Karma results in various levels and degrees of blasphemous acts, are, for the most part, unknown. At the very least, you will eventually become the object of the same aggression. And, depending upon the seriousness of the blasphemous act will depend upon how serious Karma will play out its hand against you, the hand which you have directed.
Fear not what others say about you, for others cannot see as far into you as you do.
Your fear is misplaced, it is more proper to fear that which you say about others--therein lies the bondings unto forever.
