Patty was an architect. Unlike most professions among the
Nameless, she had had to prove her artistic vision while in her youth. Kurt and
others kept drumming into everyone, that architecture is at the very core of
life, and the ones who have this creative vision are among the most vital of all
professions. The concept is quickly illustrated by Soviet architecture, where
many large apartment complexes were constructed from stacking cinder blocks into
repetitive rectangular shapes! Contrary to this, divinely designed architecture
should make the people feel like they are already valuable, just for waking up
in the morning. They wake up, go to the meditation hall, the dining hall, then
work, and they should feel like they owe something to their architecture, to
prove they are the noble beings who rightly inhabit such beautiful spaces!
The Soviets illustrated that if you
remove selfish motivation, the egos lose drive and creativity. To see the
opposite configuration, people that perform much better and more freely without
selfish reward, would be divine, unprecedented in human history. Nevertheless
Patty was such a woman, and having impressed the administrators with her
artistic vision while in her early twenties, she still satisfied the people of
the communes she served, who could not themselves think of better designs, their
powers otherwise arrayed. The idea was that each commune should have its own
artistic theme, so that others visiting there would find more grounds for
distinction than mere difference in geographical location. The situation is
further complicated in that the Nameless invoke the extremes in durability and
energy efficiency, often building underground to take advantage of the savings
the Earth itself supplies. Not all the buildings are underground, and those that
are still benefit from the architect’s vision, that even hallways and doorways
can be unique and inspiring.
Having begun life in the world of
egos, like other Nameless women Patty found the transition to responsibility
difficult, though the males in the group had suddenly shown a deference not seen
in the other world. “It is still the early days of the Nameless,” she told
herself, “and others will follow me, young girls who were not stripped of
intellect among the human males.” She had that artistic vision, and had been
in the world of humans only during childhood. The more she found the males
responsive to her intellect, the more creative power she experienced. It was
like a wondrous new world to her, where she also felt humbled over the
responsibility, that what she said the others would follow, and so what she said
had better be good, or better than good, excellent.
Having reached the age of forty while
experiencing no specific longings for special male companionship, Patty knew she
was a supersexual, as she had suspected when first joining the Nameless, at age
eighteen. To her surprise and delight, she found the other people not only
accommodating her presence, but showing great respect and joy when she was near,
that she had chosen (in ancient history, solar cycles ago), the route of perfect
freedom, that is one of the routes allowed by the Creator of souls. The Creator
made male and female, but the nature of spirit itself insisted on a third
option, that some souls would choose eternal freedom with its special joys, all
the love-powers arrayed upon God and the general population.
Patty found that about a third of the
Nameless had chosen the celibate lifestyle, sublimating the sexual energy for
universal love. As such she was swamped by friends on every side, including the
heterosexuals, who even seemed a little envious and curious about the extra
regions of joys she had attained, following the nature of pure spirit in her
ancient life choices. Like the others she followed asparshana or no-touching
under every circumstance, except for dancing, which she still enjoyed though she
tended to prefer associating with the supersexual males, who had also chosen the
life of perfect freedom.
Patty knew that the egos seeing her,
would wonder how she could exist without the touching that occurred between
couples. But this was God’s dispensation. Pure spirit can enter higher regions
that are barred to the heterosexuals. It is different style of life, a different
personality. She knew that she seemed a little strange to the rest, but she was
proud of her differences, and felt that her state was superior, to how she would
have been having chosen the heterosexual route. You might say that the
supersexuals are the aggravation of God, as they have chosen to mainly ignore
His idea of creating male and female. Yet they are also the fulfillment of
God’s ultimate plan, which is freedom for the souls, and the nature of pure
spirit, which can choose differently than the male/female option.
In any case, like all others among
the Nameless, Patty experienced no sensate cravings to touch, or if there were a
few it was just a game of awareness, easily bested. She felt totally satisfied
and fulfilled. Her social life was different from that of the heterosexuals,
since she had more free time in the evenings, not needing to focus on the “one
and only.” As such, like many among the supersexuals, she regarded the
community children as her special concern. If she had not deigned to be an
actual physical mother in this or any other lifetime, she could be the “divine
mother” to those children who were already released from their parents by age
six, and were hanging around aimlessly, wondering what there is to do in the
world.
These children required patterns and
examples, to know what are the positive ways available to use energies. They
need direction and love, and workers must be assigned to planning their days,
with sufficient creative options to suit individual developing personalities.
One may want to learn the viola, another the violin. One may wish to be a
basketball star, another a high jumper. No matter how much free time the
supersexuals possess, the children can sop all of it up. But that depends too,
on the children being loving and responsive, understanding the presence of an
adult companion is a gift of great value, not something to be sneered at or
dominated, as it is among egos.
All the ways of the Nameless shocked
the egos, but to see women of intellect, and further to see supersexual men and
women with no desire to touch, perhaps shocked them most of all. That’s the
morality of Heaven itself, from the independent personalities of the actual
angels, that is more morality than the humans can bear, in their hopes to follow
desire.
But anyway this was Patty’s life,
to express her artistic vision as an architect during the day, then to spend
afternoons and evenings interacting with children, attending seminars, or
otherwise engaged in recreation. She found there was no stigma against her,
whatever she decided to do. Wherever she went the people were glad to see her,
since she evidently had that magnificent “perfectly inoffensive
personality,” incapable of anger, hence capable of reaching deep into
spiritual realities to provide positive support for life.
She felt amazed, after comparing her
life with that of egos in the other world, that at any age, the people around
her would treasure her presence. It isn’t a question of loneliness, because
that is the ego’s reaction to lack of sense stimulation. Instead she felt like
she was in a living field of spirit, where her subtlest intuitions and
expressions would receive acknowledgment, that the others could see her and it
was part of their power to try to understand her mind. She had often thought
that moving from among the egos to the Nameless society, had been like taking
flight. The wings are flapped slowly at first, but then the height increases and
you are soaring, finding a profound array of emotional support as the others
think like you, and react like you, although you were a “divine girl.”
There were no regular religious
services among the Nameless, although not too infrequently someone or other
would feel inspired to perform an independently conceived and unique ceremony of
gratitude to the Creator of life with which others may sometimes join. Kurt had
said that a life of meditation satisfies most requirements of worship, where the
being does their uttermost to lift consciousness above the senses and express
purity of purpose for a spiritual life. The Nameless had their spiritual
leaders, and yet they all repeated a common theme that was no surprise to
anyone, which is of love without anger or grasping, and a gentle life easy on
the resources that future generations might require. In meditation, each did
what he could to meet God and the divine plane. The rest of the day only
reflected this glory.
Patty wondered at how Vasishtha had
tormented Rama, and Robert had tormented Kurt, with the attitude, “I don’t
know how you can really claim to be free,” as it was later demonstrated Rama
had a romance with Sita, and Kurt with Gail. The supersexuals are so powerful
indeed in God’s sight, that He is pleased that they torment Him with their
attainments, finding an avenue to claim to be His teacher, knowing a freedom He
does not! In the long run, God determines everything, but the supersexuals have
a potency which even makes God gasp, as they also act to uphold His world and
dharma, in glory.
It is only a strong society, if the
people feel fulfilled without touch. Otherwise the intellectual, emotional, and
spiritual content of the society must be poor. The hands are poor instruments to
communicate data by touch; they are useful for shoveling, writing, or other
work, but are not well-suited to communicating love’s passion, of one spirit
for another. That the egos live only by the sense of touch, is testament to
their weakness and the poverty of their society. The gap is tremendous, and it
will take a mighty creativity to fill it. Primary on this list is an
entertainment beyond violence, and Patty, like all other members of the Nameless
society, is invited to try her hand in the spare time at poetry, playwriting, or
novels. An ordinary person might still create a work of greatness, which would
resonate with the others, even if it is not in their main line of creative
expression.
How many such works have humans
created? None. The field is thus wide open, for a novel about a happy marriage
or the freedom of the supersexuals, of cooperation and success between
personalities rather than strife and evil desire. These artistic endeavors are
also great architecture, architecture of the mind and heart, above the physical
plane. Life can still be interesting, without conniving and desire, in fact the
greater portion must lie in the regions above violence, since the powers are
still there but arrayed more beautifully. At this point it would even make great
reading for me, to see Patty describing her ordinary daily life, what she thinks
as she moves about her work and other activities, what motivates her, how her
conversations never descend to gossip or greed, complaint or rebellion.
To see a mind established above the
ego’s reactions is a fabulous thing. It would put all the world’s gurus to
shame, just to see a simple girl like Patty relating how she never harmed anyone
by thought, word or deed. The gurus dominate; but that is very weak, though it
appears strong for the moment, as the others are held in an iron grip. The
simplicity of innocence is really not so simple. You can write thousands of
books describing what it takes to be innocent. It is not only avoiding the bad
roads, but developing capacities after the potential of following bad roads was
long ago removed.
