Starship Troopers

There is a really great line in a really dreadful Star Trek movie. An entity encountered by the crew of the Enterprise claims to be God. He wants their ship. Captain Kirk, quite reasonably, wonders aloud, "What does God need with a starship?"

I ask myself the same sort of question every time I pass by charity collection kettles. Charities claim they are "doing God's work." This involves collecting loads of money from the population at large. But wait-when you think about it, what does God need with money?

The answer is...God only needs that starship, or that money, if you will, in order to "do work" in the physical realm. In the realm of spirit, there is no need of physical manifestation, no need of money or material gain. The "gold" represented in lore as belonging to deities has a metaphysical meaning in the realms of Asgard and Alfheim. It is only when viewed on the earthly plane that this "gold" becomes a material value that is necessary for the advancement of both spiritual and physical goals.

This is not to say that the physical universe is without spiritual value. Nothing could be further from the truth, and is, in fact, a lie which has been force-fed to us by agents who wish to degrade and discredit the holiness of the Earth and all life within Her sphere. Make no mistake...the Earth and life upon it is holy, and is a microcosm of the spiritual holiness of the realm of the Gods.

So, then...when in Asgard, the gold ring Draupnir drips spiritual wisdom, and when on Earth, it manifests physically, as gold, in order to provide for Odin that which He needs in order to complete His works in the physical realm.
