Babylon

And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication. Revelation 14:8

After the disciple receives the revelation of the "everlasting gospel" or the language of the soul, which is the language of principles, or eternal words, he then attaints to another level of consciousness symbolized by this other angel. The world which had been presented to him through pieces of data falls, never to rise again.

Babylon means and represents confusion and when the principle behind information is not seen confusion is always the result. This reveals to us the core principle behind Babylon, which is corrupt communication caused by attention on data rather than being a seer of principles.

Just like two or more people can witness an accident or event and report so differently that one may wonder if they saw the same thing, even so do two or more who receive data or facts see much differently. Two can have before them the same words, the same Bible, the same polls etc and their understanding can be a universe apart. But if two or more see the same principle through the eyes of the soul their oneness is assured.

The instant the principle behind the facts is seen confusion, or Babylon falls, and is no more. Now the disciple has eternal words built on principles, all is seen with clarity and confusion no longer exists.

The scripture says "she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication."

The people of all nations are made to drink facts and data often jumbled together to force distorted incorrect conclusions. The main incorrect conclusion that results is the attention on the outer false Gods of unjust authority. This causes the people to commit fornication against their own souls. Because of this mistake many painful problems occur which is the "wrath of her fornication."

Here are the next verses:

9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, 10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: 11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name. 12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus. Revelation 14: 9-12

When a jar is broken, the space that was inside Merges into the space outside. In the same way, my mind has merged in God; To me, there appears no duality. Avadhuta Gita
