140816 In Memory of My Spiritual
Father – Dad.
Two years since His Passing.
Allan Nichols Cook-Meredith
Born: March 20th 1921
Ascended: August 16th 2012
Two years ago today, on the 16th
August 2012, my Step-Father, Allan Nichols Cook-Meredith left this
Earthly world, for His Proper Place in His Heaven.
To me, He lives-on, an Immortal,
ascending to Higher Dimensions, if not to The Highest.
Dad, was a Practical Man. He, would
see the sense in incorporating more than one purpose, into any single
object, merely for the logic and efficiency.
So, in Respectful Memory of My Father,
Allan Nichols Cook Meredith, here's my Eulogy to Him, with, two
aspects.
The first, my paying my Respects to
Him, He who passed-up to His Heaven two years ago today.
The second, writing on the very topic,
of referring to those who have passed-on from this world.
I Respectfully ask His Spirit to
Forgive me if this annoys Him.
For some years, I've known that my
mother's and my Ancestors, the Brayakooloong Gunai/Gurnai/Kurnai
Indigenous Peoples of South-Eastern Victoria, but that all Australian
Indigenous People, knew important ways and things about referring to
the dead, which was basically to not mention them, by their old
name, once they passed-on.
I think I recall aright, that 'calling
them up' after they've died, can upset their afterlife spirit, which
may be sleeping, in whatever state or condition.
And, or, doing so, can upset their
spirit, and bring it back from it's next incarnation, or from
whichever next, new journey it is on, in the higher [or lower]
dimensions, with possible bad reactions.
They might be that the spirit is 'busy'
in it's next existence, and doesn't want to be called back, or is
merely done with it's term down here, and has other affairs and work
to do, elsewhere.
“The Spirit travels on”, as some
scripture tells us.
Unless there is a genuine and well
deduced, or 'well divined' need to 'call them up' and back again, we
can do more harm to them and to the destiny path they have been
created, since the beginning, to travel and bring to it's proper
conclusion.
If we find, with Wise Counsel, that
there is a Genuine, unselfish need to call them back, I'm inclined to
think the Wise Aborigine knew that Proper Rituals are imperative.
In the modern world, mainly western,
there's no recognition, and thus no Respect, for the Dead, in this
aspect of our, and their, Spiritual affairs.
One ignorant example of late which
continues to annoy me, is the plastering in media of photographs and
articles, sure, sincere all of them, of the recently passed-over
American hollywood Actor, Robin Williams.
Going to almost any western mainstream
media site online, one is 'hit in the face' sort of, with another
portrait photograph of Robin, and more laments and/or memorials of
him and of his brilliant acting career.
Some [without having red any of them
after the 1st few days since he died], appear to infer
scandal and the like. Expected today, with the trash gutter media
seeming to have to win more and more 'air', thus more 'hits' from the
lecherous readership.
But I'm annoyed that this seems to
happen more and more now, with all 'famous' Folks, and not-so-famous,
once they've passed-on.
Annoyed, for my own deductions about
ironically, 'overkill' which usually is merely the filthy scum media
cynically extracting as many potential reader hits from the dead as
they can get.
But annoyed, mainly from the
understanding I put, above, about the Wisdom the Indigenous know and
hold to, in letting their departed 'travel-on', by not mentioning
them after 'death'.
In Australia, the Indigenous even give
the departed a special and different name so they can talk 'around'
them, and to not invoke their spirit from the after world, so not
calling them awake again, and/or back, where they may well not want
to come.
But, our chances of the western and
other, utterly ignorant, sensationalist, cynical and opportunistic
media, politicians, religions and perhaps most capitalizing on this
habit, our military forces, of dropping the 'pomp and ceremony' of
actually naming the deceased year after year, in their memorials?
Not! A! Chance!
A religious, would posit that doing
this is right. That it keeps their memory with us, so we are more
inclined to vow that “Never again!” and, “Lest We Forget”
etc. That this practice keeps their fighting Spirit alive in us, so
we are Courageous, as they were, in fighting and dying to save our
culture or so.
Well? Perhaps so? Perhaps this
practice does keep the spirits of fallen Warriors alive in us! I
think it has failed to make us fearless Warriors, if that was the
intention. Most in the modern mainstream western society today are
selfish cowards.
But, has anyone wondered, or asked the
Dead, if they want to be dragged back into this sadness? Has anyone
considered whether this harms them?
Is it possible that in reality, the
powers-that-be, who do demand we commemorate the fallen, want us to
do this for some less-than-Honorable purpose? To accelerate our
species' disintegration, by spiritual means, perhaps?
With the exposures of all major
religious and political cults of late, and of their 'dark sides', of
pedophilia, but one darkness occupying their minds, we are right and
proper to ask this type of question, methinks.
People now, in the west, are only
'loyal' to any cult or group, I suggest, out of fear, rather than out
of respect, or any intellectual deductions as to a cult's rectitude
and merit. Part of being inducted into any large cult, is to not
speak out against it. So, how many know the shady sides and
practices of the most powerful, and stay mute?
Questions, questions?
As the modern world's cultural
influences, the religions, politicians, monarchies, plutocrats and
oligarchs are so secretive about their plans, we're left to assume
there is still mostly good in them.
But if so, we must also assume they do
not have a clue about these fundamental Ritual Respects for the Dead.
Therefore, we must also assume that they cannot know the damage to
all realms that they do, in their loose, especially in trash media,
reminding us of the departed.
Having the Respect I do for Indigenous
Wisdom, like on this business, I'd guess that the constant and
erroneous calling back of the spirits of the departed from the
spiritual worlds, could be having a significant influence on things
'down here'.
Usually, and as even saying the names
of the deceased is done with absolutely NO Respect or Wisdom in these
affairs, so readily in shallow, insignificant chatter, and/or merely
to capitalize on the deceased person's fame, as-per trash media, by
unwise fools, means the reference to a “dearly departed' or, not so
dearly, may well so anger the spirit 'over there' that they do come
back, and WITH VENOM!
Disrespectful fools too eager to abuse
language and memories of passed People, may be causing themselves,
but the larger, wider world, immense damage, by calling out a Dead
One's name, even just whispering it, without Genuinely Good, Sound,
Wise Need, and, without the Proper Ritual.
Another problem caused by 'calling up'
passed Spirits, I estimate, could be that in so doing, we are
'splitting' that spirit, in two, with one part of them remaining in
their next embodiment, or realm, whether or not they've transcended
earth life, necessary for them to continue their path and destined
work, or play, etc, but with the part of them which, however, 'hears'
our call, and is by mere mention of their name, drawn back.
This, I guess again, may be due to the
very existence of a spirit being integral with it's name. The two
are never separated. Or something. When the name is spoken again,
that vocal act is calling back the spirit. But not where that spirit
is meant to be.
So, all variations of annoyed spirits
can be drawn back to this realm.
As such occurrences are of the mind, in
that our words and names are mental, calling up passed spirits could
be calling that spirit back into one's own head, into one's own mind.
This, may be directly related to why
some of us go mad?
Indeed, if a departed Spirit is
repeatedly pictured on the front pages of media, so re-lodging the
memory of them into everyone who even just glances at the picture, it
may well be that we are being given some sinister and massive dose of
mass-haunting, from beyond the grave?
Thinking about this opens the
possibilities of the practice being horribly bad for us, but more,
horribly bad for the deceased's spirit.
Because such 'uncalled-for' repetitive
re-membering, is as likely to be splitting that spirit into as many
minds as are re-shown their image. So much for re-releasing old
movies!
Also, the mainstream shrinks, the
psychologists and psychiatrists, et al, classify a condition of a
person having a 'split personality', as schizophrenia. Is this
what's actually happening?
The results, of disrespectful calling
up of deceased spirits, might well be part of the chaos and insane
behaviors we see in people, in animals and in events. Weather events
also.
So, I even ask myself if it's Proper
for me, to Remember Dad, in written words, on a day like this, two
years since He Flew Up and to Freedom? Are these ceremonies the
wrong thing to do?
Personally, I am certain that He is a
Free Spirit now, and has the Right to choose where He goes and what
He does.
And, while here, and with the limited
amount I really knew about and of Him, regards His mockery and
perhaps a covered disdain for other people, which He did not hide a
lot, I do remember the moments when I caught Him looking at me and
offering His Advice or Help, with 'sympathy' perhaps, for me.
Those memories come from my childhood
mainly.
But until His last, for example, in a
conversation, me, in a phone booth in Campbellfield, on my near last
drive north from Melbourne, calling Him for one thing or another, and
His telling me something I'd never known, - it may have been His
saying that I was not baptized, it may have been his saying mum was
stolen by the catholic convent, from her Father - I can't recall
exactly now. But though Dad said whichever it was, in stern,
forceful terms, he was being True and trying to help me understand
myself, as much as He/we, could get into the sordid past.
Such examples of His Rectitude fill my
life, and without them, I would not have inherited His Stoicism and
Strength to endure.
I would not have taken the Road Less
Traveled, to Respect Intelligence above all emotion and sensation,
without His Guidance and Clear, Rightminded Will to see me through.
Praise You, Dad, Father, Step-Father,
Allan Nichols Cook-Meredith, True Soul, Immortal, My Sole
Inspiration.
Dad, Please Forgive me for Remembering
Your Soul, today, in written words.
See you on the other side!
Forever,
Your Respectful Son,
