In earlier M5 segments, I addressed the first biblical commandment: “I am the lord, your god and you will have no other gods before me”. While this is the 'monotheist' religions’ banner, it does not deny there are other ‘gods’, but it stresses that “I am the only god for you”. This was explained as counsel to the incarnations that only your Higher Self is your ‘god’. Since you are your Higher Self, you are your own ‘god’.

   Yet, while your Higher Self is ‘god’ to you alone, each sequential path Higher Self is also a ‘god’. Likewise, each simultaneous path Higher Self is a ‘god’ to hundreds of shim’s incarnations. This validates ‘polytheism’: multiple ‘deities’.

   Blending them together in Balance: While my Higher Self (the true me) is my ‘god’, I note that there are actually many ‘gods’. Higher Selves hang out, compare notes, exchange impressions, etc. This is the ‘gods’ communicating with each other. Keep in mind that no other Higher Self (‘god’) can do anything critical to another incarnation without express permission from the Higher Self (‘god’) of the target incarnation.

   The true, eternal, valid concept of 'monotheism' has been hijacked, like the christians stealing 'polytheistic' holidays and concepts on Earth , in a fit of sequential jealous rage intent on stealing our power and controlling all to the will of a single (or trilogy – depending) ‘god’ composed of Higher Selves who are on the sequential path. They do not want us to know who we really are.

   To those for whom M5 is written, note that 'polytheism' is correct as an overall concept as it is made up of a gathering of 'monotheistic entities' called Higher Selves. I hope you can see the difference in terms as applied to the Higher Selves involved in this Galaxy Game. The creator(s) of this Galaxy Game are not our deities nor do they seek to be considered as such.

   Your Higher Self does not only not want to be worshipped, but shim finds it amusing that the body ID is so taken with Higher Self abilities/talents that it cowers before the concept of deity. For Earthers, this is an Orion-induced situation.

A spirit ID’d person would never worship any deities. A spirit ID’d person would not identify as an atheist or agnostic either. Learning this is part of breaking a major experiential loop.  Pre-Graduate, spirit ID’d people have figured out that there is no acknowledged term (in English at least) that correctly blends mono and polytheism into what our Higher Selves and their interactions experience. However you should also know it is not necessary for us to have a term for our reality. It is what it is. Religious nutcases are living out their body ID’d control fantasies. They are desperate to keep Awakening elusive.

   They will fail.

All Higher Selves who have informed the Game creator(s) that they will be Graduating from the Earth staging point, did so when they started their Earther simultaneous path. Any simultaneous path Higher Self, who chose not to do so, fully intends to continue on the simultaneous path on the next, already-designated simultaneous planet. It is nowhere near where Earth is on the Galaxy Game board, but some form of external theistic control will, no doubt, be an experiential loop that must be dealt with there too.

We are 'monotheistic' beings unto ourselves living in a 'polytheistic' existence. It’s wonderful and as it should be. We keep our power and do not give it away. We associate with many others who understand this as second nature. Meanwhile the madness of the body ID’d continue. Trust in YOUR Higher Self.

Observational Note from Val: The whole concept of 'gods' and any kind of 'theism' boils down into one thing: External Deference. So you have the planetary situation above as a result of body-id + external deference. Once maturity gets to a point where one doesn't externally defer, the whole issue disappears entirely for the incarnation at that point.
