The Cosmic Camarilla Mask Consciousness

The Cosmic Camarilla Mask Consciousness is a non-profit, non-incorporated
consciousness assembled under the Universal Laws of Human Rights. Camarilla+
Mask Camarilla+ Camarilla Mask are a set of 17 divine council masks.
Sent as guides to tribes of West Africa to reunite the region. Each Camarilla Mask
represents specific tribal lessons, African proverbs, and spiritual messages transmitted
through the mask from Ancestral Spirits, Ancient Kings and Queens, Priests,
Legends, Gods. It is believed by societies in West Africa that those who own a
Camarilla Mask will inherit great wisdom of African Traditions, guided by the
ancestors to accomplish immense task, and often serve as totem of reminders of the
rich knowledge and history shared amongst the tribes of Africa. The Camarilla is a
private traditional council existing amongst the forest tribes of Africa. Masks
themselves represent transformation or mediate between structures, often appearing in
rites of passage, they are used as conduits, paradigms, and operators in initiation
sequences which signifies the death of the old self and the rebirth of the new one.

From ancient tradition the country devil has represented chaos and confusion within
the community. Country devils symbolize the effects of negative behavior and how it
destroys the environment with which it terrorizes. Camarilla Mask represent peace,
order, unity, infinite love, respect, honor, valor, health, meditation, nature, wisdom,
power, and understanding. Each Mask represents the three pillars of the Camarilla
Mask Consciousness, which are Infinite Love, Ancestral Knowledge, and Divine
Creativity.

In West Africa when a divine being wants to exist in the physical and influence the
affairs of man. The host or receiver of that divine energy is contacted in dream and
instructed to commission a mask to be carved. The Grand Patron or Mask Patron sees
to it that the mask has it will. Divine beings only assist man when supreme balance is
to be established and social order restored. Each mask represents a discipline for
ascension, to humbly strive and learn supreme lessons of divine charity. An army
of sheep led by a lion would defeat an army of lions led by a sheep. African
Proverb

The knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven has been given to you, but
not to them. Matthew 13:11
This theory is self-evaluation for the last remaining sacred vessels. These are
makeshift paragraphs from the great ones. Collegian militants get tested in faith after
cultures are over run. Blessedness, not material possessions, is the measure of right
knowledge. Consciousness is the programming language of the universe. What is not
realized is countries that think they are free and independent but are unconsciously to
afraid of being free and independent will beg to be governed. Our demons are in our
everyday life, the people we argue with, the people we envy or hate, the ones we
physically or emotionally harm. Knowing your own demons is the best method for
dealing with the demons of other people. Question your own actions, question your
own thought process, make conscious decisions based on what you think is right,
Right Now! Is Cosmic Camarilla Mask Consciousness. This pamphlet will
augment your reality to see what is. Contemplate during the dim hours of the night.
Let these words be a guide to your inner voyage, the absence of the old self, flirting
with the presence of truth.

Camarilla Divine Pillars

Ancestral Knowledge 4 (Masculine Energy) can be defined as your right to nature.
Nature is the phenomena of the physical world collectively, so we as the divine
vessel, posses the essential qualities and inherent features of Mother Nature. Fully
redeemed by divine grace, civilized and cultivated to accept divine access throughout
the cosmic hierarchy.

Infinite Love 3 (Feminine Energy) is unaltered truth. Infinite love exists in truth and
nothing but the truth. Children must know the law of love. Love, conscious Love is
Infinite Love. The Ego does not exist with love. For infinite love to exist the Ego
must be eradicated. Infinite Love is really only known by those who have incarnated
the soul.

Divine Creativity 7 (Divine Child) is the state of being awakened to be able,
meaning Power or Empowerment is cosmic energy and represents dynamic forces of
thought moving through the entire universe. Divine Creativity is the personification,
of divine father and divine mother united to trigger white lotus. Cosmic Existence as
well as liberation, in its most significant form of being is achieved in divine creativity.
