Allies

Humans are not the only beings with powerful minds. Attached to humanity are unseen beings who also are an organ of the earth. They share the metabolism of the earth, just as humans do. These beings form a spectrum from benevolent to harmful. Sometimes they possess human bodies. Many traditions are aware of them. They have been present alongside the human race from the beginning and have been called "gods" by various people. The destiny of these beings and that of humans is very close. The Toltecs called them Allies.

The Allies lack a brain, which means they have no factory to create emotions, but they need the ethereal energy of emotions to sustain their life. Human beings are in a relationship to them much as cows are to people. We, as human beings, take energy from sunlight through our food which is already processed byp other living beings, such as plants and animals. Our brain transforms the material energy into the ethereal energy of our emotions. Emotional energy supplies food for our own minds and for the Allies or gods. We are just a resource for the gods.

What if we all woke up? What would happen to the Allies if we wakened from the nightmare and found bliss? They would also have to evolve and eat love, not fear. Our souls already depend only on love and resist fear. In order to know if a thought is "of God," we can check to see if it creates fear. A frearful thought is not from God, alhtough it may come from an Ally. The true God of Love has nothing to do with fear.

To resist the coercion of the Allies, you must become aware of them. Even now, they are feeding on our emotions, so one should be careful what kind of emotions one is transmitting. our emotions attract the attention of beings of a like kind. I f we feel happiness, we attract more happiness. If we feel depressed, we attract depression.

Each nation has its own god. The destiny of humanity is the storey of these gods. Jehovah is the god of one nation. Allah is the god of another. The identities of the gods are as real the Israelis and the Arabls. When war comes, it is not just a war among people. It is literally a war of the gods as well.

Long before the buillding of Teotihuaca'n, the gods were afraid that humans could reach heaven. during the period of th eThird Sun, the allies became anxious for humans to prduce more ntense emtions, which they in turn could use as food. In order to achieve their own ends, they pushed humans to be more and more divisive. They did this by interfering with the perfection of human communication. The result was dscord among nations. We find thier destruction of world peace record in the Biblical story of the Tower of Babel.
