Be Not Misled

[QUOTING]

When some occult brotherhood wants to exert a hierarchical influence of a practical nature on humanity, this always occurs with a magnetic field as a basis and we should understand, therefore, that there are many magnetic fields in our sphere of existence.

A large number of nets are cast into the human sea to catch souls. You need only to call to mind the Tibetan influences that go out over the world, or some churches that also maintain such a field by their magic system. We can say with certainty, therefore, that a large number of influences are being exerted on us and also that many magnetic influences completely parody the magnetic field of the Universal Brotherhood.

Is this not a cause for alarm? Could we not be misled? No, deception is completely out of the question for a serious seeker because, according to universal magnetic laws, every magnetic field is forced at a certain point to reveal itself as to its true nature. If this revelation were to reveal something that is completely in conflict with the fundamental nature of the candidate, he can always withdraw from the influence of that magnetic field and neutralize his initial interest. For this reason, revelation is not only an expansion of consciousness but also a test, a means of control.

A revelation proves to us the truth and the true nature in regard to the essential force of the magnetic field concerned. There is no human being who is unconsciously being victimized. All that is said about this is, for the largest part, nonsense. When a spirit-spark entity truly seeks liberation, he can fully test spirits as to whether they are of the Gnosis. He can apply his means of control.

Every magnetic field is forced to reveal itself if this is wanted. If this does not occur, this means the revelation is not wished for, and the person concerned will feel extraordinarily comfortable in the elementary radiation of some influence. He is allowing himself to be led into confusion by the messengers who come forth from the magnetic field. A characteristic of such messengers is that they require their followers to believe in handed-down teachings and decrees, which are represented as being divine and beyond question.  The teachings form a barrier, as it were, against serious investigation.

In order to satisfy the leanings towards knowledge, a science is invented. Students are required to learn the dogmas by heart in Greek and Latin. Thus, a study of Greek and Latin is a necessity. They need to delve into other ancient languages and to find out what many other authors have said about the scriptures and creed. But 'revelation' remains far beyond their grasp, for their revelation consists of words and intellectual knowledge, gathered by themselves.

May we ask you, reader: is your conviction based on the contents of your bookcase or on the intellectual content of your brains? If so, this is your own fault, for you have allowed yourself to be victimized by the influence of some magnetic field of ordinary nature. You were prevented from obtaining revelation.

Let us now return to the beginning. Whoever is filled with that immeasurable longing through faith in the Gnosis, by means of the previously described process, is conducted to 'revelation'. Because of his harmonious relationship to the Gnosis, such a candidate penetrates through to the point at which the nucleus of the magnetic field begins to manifest itself, unfold itself, declare itself to him.

In the Revelation of John, this is represented as a confrontation of the candidate by Him who is the first and the last, the True Original Man. He, the candidate, is not that New Man yet, not by a longshot! But He is shown to him, very personally. Can you see the difference between revelation and knowledge now?

You should observe, however, that such a revelation is not one single event, but this process provides an unceasing series of such revelations. It can happen that suddenly something so mighty, so glorious begins to unfold before you that you stammer, 'What a revelation!' And then you are speechless with gratitude. And, like the disciples on the Mount of Olives in the Pistis Sophia, you feel yourself to be blessed beyond all men.

Indeed, this revelation-consciousness is the Jupiter-consciousness, which some mention as being ours in the distant future. But you can attain it in the present, if only you will go the Path as described to you!

[END QUOTING]

If one is seeking the Gnosis, the absolute Truth of things, with all of one's heart, then one's state-of-being is going to reflect the earnestness of that seeking (or lack of same). This manifests as a magnetic vibration within and without the seeker that carries a certain signature. If one finds oneself attracted to a group or organziation, it will become known soon enough whether the group does indeed have what one is seeking.

How can one tell? At some point, the group will reveal itself for what it is. Then, the magnetic vibration of the group will clash with that of the seeker. The seeker will begin to experience a sense of disquiet, a feeling of "this is not IT".  If he heeds this signal, he will withdraw from the group and move on.

On the other hand, if the seeker does not feel a sense of disquiet, if he does not experience this inner magnetic conflict, that would indicate that the seeker is in resonance with what is being presented to him. That is where his heart lies. No one forced him to study yoga, or reiki, or churchianity, dead religions or dead philosophies. If it was not what that one wanted, an incompatibility of vibration would have made it difficult for him or her to remain interested.

So, again, we are shown that no one can truly mislead us if we learn to listen to the Silent Voice within us. If a teaching doesn't feel right, then it isn't, pure and simple. We possess the method of control when it comes to navigating the spiritual supermarket of groups, schools and organizations claiming to have 'the truth'. Remember that as we go forward.
