A Journey Into Hell

[QUOTING]

Countless people are partially or totally animated by the forces of wickedness, and the greatest danger to any human being is the assumption that he is immune to this influence. All the highly intelligent and conscious forces of evil constantly connect themselves with and adapt themselves to each individual, after having made a thorough study of his state-of-being beforehand.

These forces approach man in the guise of very exalted entities, as masters, as apparitions of Jesus and other very holy spirits. If one does not happen to possess a religious, occult or spiritualistic turn of mind, then they suggest self-authority, a historically materialistic or other nature-scientific hobby. But they ensnare him somehow, be it only in his primary instinct, such as self-maintenance, jealousy and worldliness. Everyone is stirred up against everyone else, situations are ruined, insight is obstructed and relationships become muddled. Each is forced to distrust the other and to seek for the fault outside himself. In short, satanic, atmospheric activity is being released over humanity; an activity which, in the history of the world, has always been the prelude to tremendous world upheavals.

We would like to trace some of the causes and a possible explanation for this activity. It is well known that before things are revealed in dense matter they are already manifested in the more rarefied substances of our planet. A total spiritual, cosmic and cultural revolution, which affects all the relationships of consciousness, soul and matter, is literally descending from above. The author of the Book of Revelations was not being merely poetic when he said: "And I saw the Holy City of God coming down from Heaven". He is alluding to a process of world revolution which intervenes from time to time in earthly affairs, revealing itself at a given moment in the material-sphere, having descended through the more rarefied planetary spheres.

Just as a storm wind drives before it everything that cannot withstand its violence, and just as the darkness must flee before the Light, so the Light-giving force of coming events is driving the entire inferno before it. All the inhabitants of hell have risen from their lairs and, in the grip of a terrible panic and a natural instinct for self-preservation, they are going to try and escape with their lives.

One might wonder whether there will be anything left for these earth-bound entities to salvage when the Light appears. One might say naively, "Of course not!" However, on closer consideration, one realizes that those infernal powers can indeed salvage a great deal, which explains the heavy assault of wickedness upon humanity living on this side of the veil. That is the reason why mankind is not fighting solely against "flesh and blood" but also against "principalities and powers, against the rulers of the present darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places". A great wave of abnormality is sweeping over mankind, leaving nothing and no one untouched. In particular, those who endeavor to let the Light of the Christ enter and who are positioned in the ranks of the White Brotherhood, are not left in peace for a second and are exposed to the most violent attacks.

It is necessary to give an explanation of all these dramatic phenomena. Evil is the anti-pole of what mankind calls "good". Many human beings, judging by society's standards, are considered to be goo, very good, humane, excellent and loving. This "goodness" would be very good indeed if only it had no anti-pole. There are people -- and the writers of this book are among them -- who absolutely deny the "goodness" of "good" , because of its black shadow, because of the dualistic nature of things. The "good" of this world maintains evil, as evil does goodness. Consequently, if humanity doe not change, does not break through to a totally different spiritual attitude far above the common-place ideas of "goodness", and does not achieve a structural and fundamental rebirth in a vacuum of development created by the Christ and maintained by His Brotherhood in a new sphere of existence separated from this world, then this hell-world will continue to exist  as long as man continues to exploit his biological  and primitive "goodness'. If man does not totally revolutionize himself spiritually, then he will remain, like all others, bound to this earth despite all his solemn declarations of "goodness', love and friendship. For man has his shadow, and he maintains that shadow just as he maintains himself.

"There is none good, no not one'. These words were once spoken by the Christ, and they are among the most profound and true ever spoken.Do no think that the unfolding of divine events can be held back. Everything has its own time and the coming years will be of historic significance for the whole world. Therefore, each one of us ought to ask himself: "When these things manifest themselves, in what state will they find me? Shall I still be experimenting with this everyday "goodness", or shall I be engaged in breaking through to a new spiritual disposition?

Everyone should bear in mind that the enemy lies in wait for all human beings, because every individual is "life-insurance" for the powers of darkness. Just as the body of an animal is a source of life for innumerable parasites, so man also is no exception to this rule.

Our age, the age of revolution, demands that man begin to see and accept Reality. Never has there been a more fitting time to quote the words of John the Baptist: 'Make straight the paths of the Lord".

Hora est! The hour has come!

[END QUOTING]

All of humanity is victimized by invisible forces that most have no knowledge of. "Man does not live, he is lived". The human being is constantly under the influences of the aeons, vibrational forces created over long ages by mankind's wrong-thinking, wrong-feeling and wrong-acting.

These aeons influence humans to behave in a certain way and in turn, feed off the vibrations emanated from the human when he behaves in a certain way. Thus a negative symbiotic relationship has developed in which both man and aeon maintain one another. It is this cycle of negative dependency that we can only break when we go The Path.

During this time of Great Change, denizens of the beyond are increasingly injecting themselves into human affairs. Although none can approach us without our invitation or consent, many humans are doing just that. Voluntarily by such means as channeling, "astral travel", seances, occult invocation, spells, etc. Involuntarily, we attract discarnate spirits via the use of drugs and alcohol, via promiscuous behavior, through violent thinking and behaviors, etc. Contact with these entities from beyond the veil is discouraged, mainly because one has no idea who one is dealing with.

If a discarnate entity appears to you and says that he is "Abraham Lincoln", how do you know this to be true? Those on the other side of the veil have access to the memory and experiences of the one who incarnated as Abe Lincoln. Couple this with their ability to mold etheric matter into any desired form, and we should be able to see that it is but child's play to impersonate any person, for any purpose.

Yes, there are "good" and "holy" entities in the reflection-sphere. Certainly, Mother Theresa is there right now. However, these entities are not liberated, they are still chained to the wheel of death-and-rebirth. As such, they are still prone to acting out of self-focus, self-maintenance, self-intent. Some may truly wish to help those of us in the flesh, but serve only to confuse matters and inflate the egos of humans. This is the very thing that the human does not need: more self-focus.

Therefore, if you are approached by any discarnate entity, be it Jesus, Buddha or your beloved grandmother, do not place undue emphasis on the visit. That personage is more than likely just some reflection-sphere entity clothed in lower ethers attempting to get your attention for some purpose.

So, how can you tell if the entity is not trying to manipulate you? True, divine entities will not exalt or flatter you. They will not focus on you as a personality, or try to inflate your ego. The ones whose intentions are less than honest will do all that and more.

Be careful out there.
