There is no Two without Three! From the Sacrifice of Isaac to the Weathercock on the Roof

It is my favorite proverb, certainly the most popular in the special classic that I have compiled over the years and not so much for its validity, since they are all true, but for the curiosity that, willingly or not, it has always aroused in me.

One of the biggest mistakes, perhaps the biggest, of the three-brained beings that populate the Earth, is to believe that reality is dual and that it does not follow the Law of the Three Forces . After all, the scientific indoctrination they have undergone since childhood at school has instilled in them that everything happens according to the theorem of Cause and Effect.

For this reason, they are convinced that daily life is dictated by relationships, so to speak, one-to-one with their mother, with their wife, with a book, with money, with food, with sex, with religion, with their football team, etc. etc. In short, a two-way exchange between subject and object, in which, even more recklessly, they think they are the architects, which makes them feel important as well as - needless to say - free.

After all, they can get up in the morning or stay in bed, leave the house and go right or left, go to work or not go and maybe decide , one day, to send their hated boss packing and all this is more than enough to make them feel like the masters of their lives.

The problem is that if on the one hand they can - they believe they can choose - to go to the seaside or the mountains, they are still victims of something that does not originate with them, of external conditions that they are subjected to, against which the only possibility is to react, like the weathercock on the roof.

Nevertheless, they do not doubt that the direction of the weather vane depends entirely on them.

Weathercock

One of the main truths that the Christian religion inculcates in them is that everyone, without distinction, is born with a soul and they also believe that faith or repentance for the sins committed - I have never understood exactly - can allow them to reach the much desired Paradise.

Beyond all this, in my opinion, their life is not centered on a true Sacrum Facere ! As in the case of the weathercock, nothing depends on them, they are only the object of a divine, external Wind, which forces them to take a direction of which they are not the architects but above all, I would dare say, NOT SUFFERED.

Here in Tanzania, where I live and work, we celebrated the ʿīd al-aḍḥā , the feast of sacrifice or feast of the slaughter of the Islamic religion, which closely resembles the sacrifice of Isaac that Abraham celebrated before being stopped by the angel, a feast of faith par excellence and therefore of total submission to God.

The first thing that comes to mind is that Abraham DID NOT SUFFER for what he was about to do, his desire to satisfy and execute the orders of the Most High was certainly stronger than everything else. This thought is supported by the fact, if there was any need, that, as one person wrote to me - there is the post on FB - Abraham in his heart was sure that the Most High would stop him.

He who has faith or he who has faith in not having faith, does not suffer! Even the martyrdom, so much praised, often and willingly was nothing but the bad use of the sexual center by some saints for masochistic purposes, people who in reality did not suffer for their own suffering. When you are born with a soul already, there is nothing more to do, there is nothing to fight for except to hope to have received it good , worthy of the Heavenly Prize.

The Sacrum Facere is diametrically opposed to what is natural, inevitable, to what someone somehow imposes on us or has already decided must happen. It is much more similar to the weathercock on the roof that tries in every way, stubbornly, to counteract the direction of the wind, a cockerel that PUTS HIS OWN INTO IT and that tries to act and not to suffer. According to some teachings, the soul is a luxury, something to be deserved and conquered at the cost of enormous efforts during one's earthly existence.

This fact is well explained by the law of the Three Forces that we learn in school, even if in a mechanical way, in which the sum of two vectors originates a third. The first is represented by our volitional action, the second by the internal/external resistances that we encounter and the third, called Resultant = Sacrum Facere, which presides over the creation of the Soul.

In our case, the first vector of the Law of the Three Forces is represented by Abraham's Will to carry out the orders of the Most High, the second by his natural internal resistances to carrying out such an act and the third by the transmutation of which Abraham will become the object following his Sacrum Facere.

"Your name will no longer be Abram, but your name will be Abraham, for I have made you the father of a multitude of nations," Genesis 17:5.

In fact Abram means father while Abraham is the father of many ... and what if the many peoples we are talking about were nothing other than that legion/group of devils present in every human being and that, once Abraham has become, he can master?

The Divine Spark that originates the Sacred Fire can only arise from the rubbing of two well-defined and clearly contrasting parts within us that consume each other, from the struggle between YES and NO as Someone said.

Eliminating what is against us, as some ascetics went so far as to self-castrate or cancel desire, a typically Eastern derivation, would remove that enemy that we need so much to confront ourselves and to reach the dark side of the moon , the dark side of ourselves that we do not know.

Depending on the intensity and direction of the first two forces, we obtain ever-different resultant vectors, whose common characteristic, however, is that of having been created by us. We thus arrive at acquiring, in a certain way, what could be called the Will of the Magician, capable of operating, modifying and intervening directly on the laws of Nature.

A stubborn rooster, ultimately, who doesn't like to side with the wind blowing, with his feet firmly planted on the ground and who, by all rights, has every right to feel truly free.
