Hmmm...Dakini, the quote you attributed to Bronte Baxter was me, but I was echoing her sentiments. There's no question that entertaining ideas like hers involves a great expansion of consciousness. The thoughtform that we may be food for the gods (whatever their persuasion), and also that perhaps everything we think is real...from hell all the way up through and including heaven, could be a part of the same elaborate prison, requires courage just to be allowed to blossom within our hearts and minds. But, if it's true, what would be wrong with being...not necessarily angry, but in treating the situation as a warrior would. This is how I see Bronte Baxter, as a fierce warrior.
She understands exactly the method in which she was seduced into giving away her energy to Hindu gods. She knows the routine inside and out and down to the minutia of it. These are details we all need to understand in order to reclaim our sovereignty. Some of us have built in alarms which would never allow us to become so entrapped within a paradigm as she was, but as we smugly declare this fact, we're just as vulnerable in other ways.
It's curious how this thread has evolved, beginning with such a simple question about how energy is siphoned. It was obvious that we all intuitively understand that this can occur by sexual means, through the great build up and release of sexual energy. It's clear that no one really appreciates giving it up, it's the bank account of our personal magical kingdoms, and even though we seem to collect a stipend every time we pass "Go", we still don't like paying rent for our very existence.
No one want so to be siphoned by sexual partners, inorganic creatures or by astral beings manipulating our consciousness. We understand when we've given our essence to the dark overloads who control the physical and astral realms, and we don't like it. We want to move our energy into more enlightening vibrations. But, what if those are apart of the cage as well? If the "good" gods are just as needy as the dark ones...because none of them are the prime creator, none of them are the One, then they're all just fractal iterations of it,
just exactly as we are. If this is true, there is more. There is an "outside".
It really is like waking up inside a dream inside a dream. Just within this thread we've done this. What if we're apart of the Brahman's energy farm, and not only being seduced into feeding him, but into giving ourselves away completely...sold on the idea that this is the goal, the goal of assimilation? Do we have the right to be a little pissy about that?
I don't see such a great difference between Bronte and the Wingmaker's paradigm, in fact it seems to me that Bronte is held by fewer restraints than James...perhaps he owes more to his sources than she does. But they're both telling us that it's the same system, all the way to the top, a bubble in the fabric of reality that is not the All it appears to be.

Maybe there's always a war between the personal self and the transpersonal, and perhaps we find victory by finding balance. What is evil besides an expansion of the self until it becomes the whole of Being -- absolute evil is absolute service to self. At the other extreme is the death of the ego, the loss of all that is personal and unique by being re-absorbed into the formless patterns of reality...or so we've been sold. Or, maybe we're just kibble for Brahma.
Why would either of these extremes be the intent of a prime creator who seems to have turned us loose, endowed with the power to co-create realities within eternity? Eternity requires the ongoing invention of novel experiences for consciousnesses to reside there without succumbing to entropy. How do would we serve that paradigm by spending thousands of lifetimes amassing experience, learning to become adept co-creators ourselves, and then merging our uniquely beautiful consciousnesses with the bloated overloads of the status quo?
