Who are you Serving?

It isn’t always through formal “religious” or “spiritual” channels that messages or admonitions are sent to earthman.

We now know from the Grail Message that what is today called the legend of Parsifal and the Holy Grail were accounts of events that took place in much higher realms, and also prophecy of that which was to come, even down to the earth.

Unfortunately, many of the channels used for this purpose have themselves not been quite conscious of the import of that which they rendered or transcribed at best into artistic expression or entertainment, even if of an ennobling kind.

Many today are still captivated by movies like the Matrix, The Lord of the Rings. Movies that hint at activities beyond the realm of everyday human consciousness. Other forms of art, like paintings, poetry and music are also used as media, in attempts to get the message across to earthman.

Upon further reflection, it is evident that the popular song “You gotta serve somebody” by Bob Dylan, whose lyrics appear below, is a poignant, if subtle reminder to us all that, regardless of whether we are conscious of it, or not, every one of our thoughts, words or actions directly, or indirectly serves The LORD or the Devil.

This is a very serious matter to contemplate! Thus, even in our activities of leisure, The Light still tries to reach out, to awaken us in the hopes that we would thereby recognize our true Spiritual self. No one can therefore say that he or she did not know, because all avenues of our being (activities) are used to try to reach out to us.

Let him who has ears listen again, and reflect on the lyrics of this song that addresses all of the various situations in which we may find ourselves, or the station in life that we occupy.

Indeed you're gonna have to serve somebody

Well, it may be the devil or it may be the Lord

But you're gonna have to serve somebody

You may be an ambassador to England or France

You may like to gamble, you might like to dance

You may be the heavyweight champion of the world

You may be a socialite with a long string of pearls

You might be a rock 'n' roll addict prancing on the stage

You might have drugs at your command, women in a cage

You may be a business man or some high-degree thief

They may call you doctor or they may call you chief

You may be a state trooper, you might be a young TurkYou may be the head of some big TV networkYou may be rich or poor, you may be blind or lameYou may be living in another country under another name

You may be a construction worker working on a home

You may be living in a mansion or you might live in a dome

You might own guns and you might even own tanks

You might be somebody's landlord, you might even own banks

You may be a preacher with your spiritual pride

You may be a city councilman taking bribes on the side

You may be workin' in a barbershop, you may know how to cut hair

You may be somebody's mistress, may be somebody's heir

Might like to wear cotton, might like to wear silk

Might like to drink whiskey, might like to drink milk

You might like to eat caviar, you might like to eat bread

You may be sleeping on the floor, or sleeping in a king-sized bed

You may call me Terry, you may call me Timmy

You may call me Bobby, you may call me Zimmy

You may call me R.J., you may call me Ray

You may call me anything but no matter what you say

Still, you're gonna have to serve somebody, yes

You're gonna have to serve somebody.

Well, it may be the devil or it may be the Lord

But you're gonna have to serve somebody
