The Power of Toga

We, as a race, seem to have an affinity for clothing trends that goes way beyond what type of jeans are fashionable, and what are not.

Here’s an interesting observation, just for the sake of conversation:

If Buddha were to arrive today, wearing a blue suit and a tie, would he be noticed?

If Mohammad were to speak at your local city hall, wearing khakis and a white dress shirt, would you listen?

If Jesus Christ were to appear right in front of you, at the altar of your church, wearing a pair of blue jeans and a t-shirt, would you wait long enough to hear his words, before asking him to move aside?

Answer to all of the above:

No.

No.

No.

This observation does not include the fact, that you would probably require Jesus Christ to speak in Old English, and appear with long, brown hair, looking much like an Italian from the Renaissance period of history.

When faced with this type of conjecture, the followers of Jesus Christ often respond with:

I know it will be Him.  Everyone will know.

Personally, I’m not too sure of that.  No one has ever painted a true depiction of him.  But, on the other hand, anything is possible.

One thing I do know for sure.  If all three of these esteemed archetypes of our history showed up in togas, they  would certainly get noticed.  And, after a few moments of being noticed, or a few hours, the local police would probably question them, and take them to the local authorities for questioning.

Then, they would be gone, and humanity would happily return to  its wandering, and wondering.  And, once again, continue to move in circles…

Up to this point, many of you are probably nodding, and thinking that you’ve heard this before.  And, that is true.  Many have pointed this out.  But, there’s more to this problem than all of us may be aware of.

Because of our need for togas, which place these Masters in a certain time frame of fashion, we also have a need for non-change.  Or, reversion to the old way of thinking. Never moving beyond ancient thoughts, ideals or revelation.

Here are some important questions to consider on your search for toga-clad gurus:

Why didn’t these Masters have the knowledge of other planetary existence?  And, if they did, why was it edited out of their transcripts?

Why did these Masters not address child abuse, domestic violence and racism?  Did they approve of the division of between skin color, or turn their faces away from battered children?

When I spoke to a local minister about the issue of child abuse, and its lack of commentary in holy texts, he simply stated that no children were abused in these times.

I find that hard to believe.

These Masters also seem to disregard the equality of women in their lectures.  And, the issue of slavery.

Were they in approval of such?

In some of the ancient texts, there was slight comment in the smallest way, of these topics.  But, if we have truly evolved since those times, it would appear to me that these issues were severely rampant during their lifetime, and they would have mentioned the need for change.

Why wasn’t it addressed?

These togas, that are required by humanity, also represent a much more disturbing truth.  It appears that there is still a need to return to the old days.

Look again at your history books.  Look at what the old days entailed.

Is that really what you want?

These Masters that you cherish.  Their words.  Their clothing styles.

They all represent something that humanity may have not realized, as of yet.

Inertia…
