Arrival In The Hall Of Judgement
[QUOTING]
Awful is the Great Day of Judgement at its dawning in the Netherworld. The soul stands naked in the Hall of Judgement, nothing can now be hidden. Hypocrisy is no avail; to maintain goodness when the soul reveals its own repulsiveness is futile. To mumble empty ritual is foolishness. To call upon gods who have no existence is a waste of time.
In the Hall of Judgement the wrong-doer is judged. On that day and henceforth, his qualities shall form his food. His soul, soft as clay upon Earth, is hardened and set into shape according to its moulding. The Balances are adjusted.
One arrives. The Forty-Two Virtues are his assessors. Shall he dwell among Beauty as a godling or be given over as a captive to the Keeper of Horrors, to dwell among vile things under a merciful mantle of darkness?
One arrives. The twisted body, tormented on Earth, and the ugly face have gone, discarded at the Portal. He strides through the Hall in radiance, to pass into the Place of Everlasting Beauty.
One arrives. Now no earthly body shields the horror which is the true likeness of the evil-doer upon Earth. He runs from the Light which he cannot tolerate, and hides himself in the shadows near the Place of Terror. Soon he will be drawn to his compatible place among the Dismal Company.
One arrives. He has been upright and a just one. His failings and weaknesses were of little account. This upright man fears nothing, for he was welcomed among the Bright Ones and shall go unhampered among the Everlasting Lords.
One arrives. He trembles before the Unseen Judges, he is lost, he knows nothing, earthly knowledge and confidence are left behind. The Balance drops, he sees his soul and recognizes his true self, he rushes into merciful darkness. It enfolds him and dark arms embrace him, drawing him into the terrible gloom, into the Place of Dark Secret Horrors.
One arrives. She graced the court with beauty, men sang of her loveliness and grace. Now, as when a mantle is removed, all is discarded, it is the time of unveiling. Who can describe the lustful thoughts and secret unclean deeds which fashioned the horror coming through the Portal? There is a hush among the compassionate.
One arrives. On Earth she was pitied by the compassionate and scorned by the hard-hearted. There her lot was degradation and servitude, privation and sacrifice, few and meager were the gifts from life. Yet she triumphed. Now she comes forward surrounded by brilliance, even the Shining Ones are dazzled by her beauty.
One arrives. The twisted face and pain-wracked body of the cripple have been left behind. A kind and loving soul dwelt imprisoned within its confines. Now the relieved spirit steps forward into the Great Hall, unencumbered and free, glorious to behold.
One arrives. The splendid body which graced Earth remains there, an empty, decaying thing. The naked soul enters the Everlasting Halls. It is a deformed, misshapen thing fit only to dwell in the merciful gloom of the place with which it has compatible affinity.
One arrives. Neither goodness or wickedness bears down upon the scales. The balances remain straight. The soul departs to the twilight borderland between the Region of Light and the Region of Darkness.
O Great Lords of Eternity, who once were in the flesh, even as I, hear not the outpourings of an over-burdened and sorrowful heart. For who am I to presume to call upon the Great God of All? Who am not without wickedness and weak in spirit. I have filled my heart with knowledge of the Secret Writings but still I fear the Judgement. Therefore, Great Lords of Eternity, I call upon you who once walked the Earth, even as I, and who, therefore, understand the failings and weaknesses of men.
I am not weak in my standing with earthly things, but I am weak beside the Greater Beings. Will I, too, ever be worthy of the grandeur of the Eternal Mansions? O Great Beings, whose nature is beyond understanding, grant me just a spark of the Eternal Wisdom, that it might light my soul and kindle the flame of Immortal Life.
What is the destined fate of a man who knows the existence of things beyond his understanding? I see but I do not know, therefore I am afraid. Man can swim against the current towards the bank, but he needs a helping hand to pull him ashore when he is exhausted from the struggle.
This is the fate of man. He must strive for that which he cannot attain. He must believe in that which he cannot prove. He must seek that which he cannot find. He must travel a road without knowing his destination. Only thus, can the Purpose of Life be fulfilled.
Man may believe he knows his destiny, but he cannot be assured with certainty; in no other way can he fulfill it. In this way alone can the soul be properly awakened to flower with its full potential. This alone he may know: The purpose of all human life is a Goal so glorious it surpasses all earthly understanding.
We may visualize our individual goals as we will, it is ordained that we have this freedom. How close or how far we are from Reality is of little consequence; what is, is. He who seeks a non-existent destination will, nevertheless, get somewhere. He who seeks not at all will get nowhere. Earthly life will fulfill itself without attainment.
From "The Book of the Scrolls: Chapter 13 - The Scroll of Ramkat" -- The Kolbrin
[END QUOTING]
Upon physical death, the material body is discarded, the life within withdraws with the man's remaining soul vehicles. Alive as ever, the man now travels to realms beyond the veil. These realms are invisible and unseen to most while in the body. Upon transition, the eyes of the astral-etheric body are opened.
Each soul that passes over is subject to a Great Day of Judgement, for it must be determined where the new arrival will spend his next eternity. How is this judgement carried out? What is the criteria? Who stands as Judge?
It is the overall vibrational quality of the soul that is examined. The essence of all thinking, willing and acting while in the earth-sphere is collected and retained within the mortal soul of the man. It is this record that man carries with him when he crosses over. At that point, the earthly charade is over. The soul stands naked in the Great Hall. Those things that were easily hidden from the physical eyes of men are exposed here for all to see. Pending the outcome of the Weighing of the Heart, the soul will be dispatched to a region that vibrates in harmony with his vehicles. In essence and in truth, man judges himself.
As noted in the above extract, those who were apparently "nothing" on Earth may, depending upon the life led, appear in radiance before the scales. Those who were beautiful, wealthy, brilliant or celebrated on Earth will find that no one cares a whit about those things once they have crossed the Portal into the Great Hall. All things earthly are left behind. The man is left with only the fruitage of his actions.
This is why every thought, desire and action is vitally important to the future of the personality. When the earthly life meets its lawful end, we remain alive. Our consciousness is able to perceive the reflection-sphere that was veiled from us while in the physical. It is then that many will say, "Wait! Let me do it over again! I didn't know!". But it will be too late.
Those who manage to Seek in the right direction and manage to locate the Pearl of Great Price, the Gnosis, will not have to stand in judgement in the Great Hall. The vibration of their soul-vehicles will attract it to a region of safety that is not a part of the reflection-sphere: Shamballa, the Eternal Oasis.
Live consciously. Seek unceasingly. Everything we do on Earth, no matter how small or seemingly insignificant, has the aim of trying to help us find our way to Shamballa. Do not wait until you cross over to understand this. Understand it now.

Wake-Up Calls - Conclusion
[QUOTING]
Wake-up calls are often misunderstood by Servers due to the initial excitement (emotional agitation and glamour), personal desire and pride which they may so easily evoke. For example, some, in their naïveté, may earnestly believe that they have suddenly and miraculously become fully enlightened, like a master of wisdom, or so divinely commissioned that they are adequately qualified to teach with spiritual authority. Such impetuous Servers would do well to ponder upon the fact that early wake-up calls herald but the beginning of a potentially ongoing and cumulative process of spiritual unfoldment, and that until their own tiny point of consciousness merges completely with the Cosmic Consciousness of the Universal Mind, they are at best but a messenger or servant for something much greater than their little personality.
Imprudent impulsiveness often produces much impractical idealism and delusion which, in turn, will result in a retardation of further wake-up calls, and at worst may bring about such perfect conditions within the Servers' vehicles that they become an easy target for negative psychic impression. They may then be manipulated by evil minds residing within the hidden worlds for their own sinister purposes, and it is in this way that much neutralisation of the positive efforts of others is effected worldwide by well-intentioned but unwary Servers. Psychic contamination is a very common and escalating phenomena today for humanity, and may lead to outright occult possession, spelling calamity for the Server, while simultaneously fulfilling the promise of certain forebodings made thousands of years ago predicting the appearance of "many false prophets and Christs", for even accomplished Servers may be misled.
Servers may also curtail their own process of awakening by their misguided use of those abilities that have been conferred upon them for the benefit of others. If the knowledge and powers given are not used wisely and selflessly in service to humanity, then the Server should expect no further wake-up calls. Indeed, should spiritual gifts be abused in service to self, great remorse may be known as the Server's privileges are quickly revoked by the group-soul. Additionally, and due to the unwise employment of faculties that may have been stimulated by a wake-up call, imbalance is likely to ensue. This may manifest itself, for example, as a brilliant intellect but a closed heart, a distorted perception of the true Aquarian vision, or the preponderance of psychic powers, replete with all the temptations and dangers of lower psychism.
Many partially-awakened Servers, in becoming infected by the widespread glamour within the New Age movement, are today joining the swelling ranks of the enthusiastic but deceived to build fairy-tale castles in the sky. They are then proceeding with the greatest fervour to lavishly furnish their imitation New Jerusalem with an assorted abundance of colourful and most pleasing allurements and romantic ideals that offer little more than distractions from the real divine Work. Today, the expanding light of the New Dawn is throwing shadows in all directions; temptation is everywhere apparent, and Servers will be at a great disadvantage without basic self-knowledge and an adequate understanding of the hidden side of life.
Wake-up calls sound intermittently, then, in a consecutive series of increasingly brighter realisations, and these prepare Servers to eventually receive the forthcoming conclusive Revelation - or final Wake-up Call - that will restore their full multidimensional awareness together with their higher spiritual faculties and powers as it launches them into the blissful state of divine remembrance. Upon receiving this crowning Wake-up Call, all limitations and karmic afflictions connected to the lower worlds will be completely neutralised as successful Servers emerge from their past struggles in darkness and limitation into the long-awaited majesty of their true divine estate, and as they experience their final emancipation from the world of duality and separation.
The timing of the final Wake-up Call is partially contingent upon the ongoing, invocative appeal of both Servers and humanity alike, for in a free will system divine assistance may be given only in response to sincere requests for aid. At a not-too-distant future time the crisis faced by humanity will elicit an urgent demand for effective spiritual service, and this will incite a far-reaching global invocation which, in turn, will speed up the reunification of groups of Servers as they hasten forth in response to the call of mankind and the immediate needs of the world. The concluding Wake-up Call cannot sound before the time of worldwide group reformation, a process that is being duly expedited today. Due to the powerful synergetic dynamics evoked at that time, a profound world awakening - a global Initiation - will be catalysed.
Servers collectively constitute a kind of living bio-spiritual orchestra, each individual or group awaiting their appropriate playing time. Prior to the occasion of their gala performance, they are necessarily silenced by the limitations imposed upon them by the veil of forgetfulness. They are, however, duty-bound to care for their instruments, keeping them in good working order, and also to keep their playing skills well-honed and ready to employ. Like any professional member of an orchestra, Servers will wish to listen intently to the surrounding melody of life in patient anticipation of their wake-up calls, which will lead them to their forthcoming major cue to join in with the greater concerto. However, let it be known that today the prelude to the grand symphony of the Servers' collective mission has already begun, and the Maestro of the Divine Plan is presently summoning all the remaining members who are ready to begin playing their part.
Ultimately, those Servers who respond with sagacity and intelligent discrimination to their wake-up calls will experience valuable insight, positive expansions of consciousness, elation and expeditious spiritual unfoldment as they are much facilitated by the rising Aquarian frequencies and as they are catalysed into a supreme awakening. They will soar to new heights of experience and expression, and they will enjoy the greatest freedom and capacity for love that they have ever known in their present incarnation. Eventually, together with the discovery of a marvellous new agility and vitality born within their finely-tuned vehicles, they will open up to a much greater inflow of spiritual force, and will finally graduate most joyfully at the impending Harvest Time, taking as many amongst humanity with them as are willing and able to rise up and behold the refulgence of the New World.

Wake-Up Calls - Part 3
[QUOTING]
The all-important process of awakening may be significantly accelerated by propitious meetings with other Servers of the Divine Plan. Some Servers who have yet to receive a major wake-up call may be given an opportunity to penetrate their veil of forgetfulness to some degree when another awakened individual conveys a truth to them or positively affects their consciousness by the radiation of certain auric energies. When Servers meet physically and begin to trust and open to one another, even slightly, a greater part of the group-soul is invoked. Ensuing energy-transmissions originating from the higher worlds bring light from above, as it were, and down through the lower vehicles to arrive ultimately upon the physical plane where it may heal, rejuvenate and spiritualise the bodily cells and illuminate the physical brain-consciousness. However, should such Grace fail to be integrated within the personalities of Servers who are thus ministered to, and if positive change from their previous spiritual torpor is not subsequently effected by their own will, then their familiar condition of occult blindness is likely to rapidly reassert itself, and their potentially liberating vision may be lost.
Like humanity, the typically resistant egos of unawakened Servers may doubt or even react in fear and hostility as the initial stages of purification ensue resulting from wake-up calls sounded by other more awakened individuals. Thus so, in accordance with their choice to react negatively, they will voluntarily turn away from the door of opportunity as it necessarily closes in accordance with the law of free will. Depending upon various conditions, it may well be that Servers who fail to accept such Grace into their lives in these critical times will not again receive a similar chance during their present incarnation, and so they shall unwittingly yet wilfully abort their mission. Those who decline opportunities to serve, and especially those who mistreat awakened Servers who endeavour to offer them help and guidance, are in danger of descending into a deep personal gloom as their own Greater Self turns away from their personality as a result of their choice to disregard a messenger of the New Spirit.
It is imperative that Servers who are still asleep and lost in ignorance should recognise other awakened Servers who may have been galvanised from within to come to their aid in answer to an earnest prayer. It should also be very well understood that when one's soul-family is beginning to reunite again upon the physical plane, it is precisely at this time that the hidden forces of selfishness will try their utmost to create apprehension, confusion, blindness and the like in all those personalities who have become infected by the pervasive distrust, fear and delusion upon Earth. There are various ways in which Servers may recognise one another, some of which have already been described, and more of these will be detailed later. However, as a general rule, Servers should learn to trust their initial feelings and perceptions (which are usually soul-born and, therefore, accurate) before the ego has an opportunity to becloud such valid recognition with doubt, scepticism or criticism.
The Divine Plan bears within its design special wake-up calls for a very small percentage of Servers who might be appropriately termed early-risers. They are awoken in advance of the majority of other Servers, and consequently they often experience much frustration, ridicule and hardship as they struggle in the darkness to learn necessary lessons by trial and error. As heralds, the early-risers are ahead of their time, and are therefore little understood and sometimes even less welcomed in a world that is not yet ready to receive them or their expanding and prophetic vision. They crow like the rooster in the darkest hour before dawn, announcing the imminent morning glory to a world that sleeps on. Even in the present stages of world preparation the task of those Servers who are charged with laying the foundations for the New Way of conscious spiritual development for mankind and with the labour of getting ready for the first awakened group members, is difficult indeed. They stand for so much that is still deemed visionary and impossible, and the formidable goals that confront early-risers may appear quite unattainable in the initial stages. However, their pioneering efforts are likely to lead to an early remembrance of who they are, together with those hard-won greater responsibilities, and will be seen to evoke their rightful reward.
Many Servers who are awoken earlier than most will find that they are compelled to resume their duty to mankind on Earth by highlighting the adjusted laws of the Aquarian age and by teaching the corresponding new truths and ways of human spiritual advancement. The initial effect of their earnest undertaking is necessarily destructive because they endeavour to rid mankind of all the old forms of religious, economic and political doctrine that no longer serve the world's needs. Their required impersonality - which recognises faults as well as virtues - enrages many, even those from whom they had most expected understanding, true impartiality and collaboration. Their failure to be impressed or attentive to established rites and ceremonies, to ancient and precious yet obsolete ideas, philosophies and theologies, and their constant warfare on attachments, denials, worldly illusions and any and all obstructions to the emerging New World Consciousness, meet in the early stages with little encouragement. Early-risers work frequently alone, therefore, and usually without either support or recognition.
A very small percentage of Servers scattered around the world today are involved in the important task of dismantling the old and outmoded forms and methods (usually by exposing their flaws), while simultaneously enunciating the new principles of Unity Consciousness. Yet as the planetary deadline approaches and as the frequency of wake-up calls soars to meet the growing world need, their numbers are steadily increasing. They are preparing the way for the first organised bodies of Servers who, having reunited upon the physical plane in specific soul-group combinations, will proceed to assist in the next phase of the Divine Plan for Earth.
Unawakened Servers who sense the import and urgency of the Call to Service today but who do not yet have sure contact with their own group-soul or the divine Helpers upon the inner side of life, may benefit by taking the opportunity to utilise the wisdom and reliable guidance made available for awakening by the prescience of those early-risers who are able to see more clearly. In so doing they may avail themselves of relevant knowledge, and so, by way of the sublimation of consciousness that always accompanies new spiritual comprehension, they may expedite their own process of Awakening as well as that of their fellows.

Wake-Up Calls - Part 2
[QUOTING]
An inspiring characteristic of early wake-up calls is that they provide a tiny yet thrilling glimpse of just how much more there is to be known and experienced upon the Server's mission. It becomes clear that there are still as yet most wonderful discoveries to be made, and although the dimly-sensed future glory remains imperceptible and incomprehensible to awakening Servers, such glimpses always beckon and inspire them onward. Servers are often awestruck and frequently overwhelmed by the light of progressively brighter revelations that pertain to the greater magnificence which awaits them beyond their presently limited but growing field of vision. Wake-up calls are therefore intended to incite further seeking and service by inspiring the Server's spiritual thirst.
Following a major wake-up call (i.e., one having significant and lasting transformative effect), Servers will generally pass through three stages of response. First comes the stage of enchantment, euphoria and of grand recognition; then a relative darkness follows, and sometimes even despair when the revelation fades, and Servers find that they must walk again in the ordinary dim shadows of the world. They now have some idea of who they are, but it is at this point that their real test lies, for they must now proceed on that inner knowledge and memory alone, and without the spiritual stimulation of the wake-up call. Moments of sometimes intense inner vision are usually balanced and integrated in this way by relatively dormant periods of reflection, absorption and consequent preparation for the next step forward. Finally, awakening Servers become so engrossed in their service, in aiding their fellows, and in helping them forward toward their next wake-up call, that the initial excitement and reaction are forgotten. They then discover to their surprise that at any time and at will - if it serves their selfless interests and those of the Divine Plan - the revelation and spiritual light that were first delivered by a wake-up call are forever theirs.
There are three modes of delivery for wake-up calls, which may be received either in waking consciousness or while asleep in the dream state. They are:
1) a gentle, gradual and steadily unfolding process, often spanning a number of years - the soft alarm bell;
2) a sudden, intense and profoundly transformative awakening - the loud alarm bell; and
3) an overdue and startling wake-up call - the late alarm bell.
This last kind of stimulus becomes eventually necessary due to the Server's lack of appropriate response to previous opportunities provided them, and consequently due to their failure to begin to penetrate the veil of forgetfulness in good time. The belated wake-up call will be much more demanding upon the Server due to its necessary severity. Such a sudden and intense spiritual stimulation generally presents certain hazards and may even cause damage to the lower vehicles of consciousness. As a result of this potent inflow of force the Server may be rendered mentally and emotionally unbalanced, and therefore prevented from fully completing his mission. As the planetary deadline draws nearer, such radical wake-up calls are less likely to result in positive awakenings. This is so because the needed personal purification will have been delayed for too long, and as the Kundalini fires are forced upwards along the spine, piercing the chakras of an impure and unprepared personality, nervous breakdown, insanity and even death may ensue. Late wake-up calls will require a very resilient constitution indeed and an unusually strong will in order for disaster to be averted. It may be clearly recognised, therefore, that there is presently an urgent need for Servers to embark upon or to swiftly proceed along the path of purification without delay.

Use It Or Lose It
[QUOTING]
Listen, my child. There is no such thing as a vacuum. That sentence conceals the secret that everyone must unveil who wants to be transformed from a perishable animal to an Immortal Consciousness. Only you must not apply the words merely to external nature; you must use them like a key to open up the Spiritual Realm; you must transform their meaning. Look at it like this: someone wants to walk, but his feet are held fast in the earth; what will happen if his will to walk does not weaken? His creative Spirit, the primal force that was breathed into him at the Beginning, will find other paths for him to tread and that force within him that can walk without feet, will walk in spite of the earth, in spite of the obstacle.
The creative will, man's divine inheritance, is a force of suction; this suction - you must understand it in a metaphorical sense - would of necessity create a vacuum in the Realm of First Causes if the expression of the will were not eventually followed by its fulfillment. See: a man is ill and wants to get better; as long as he resorts to medicines, the power of the Spirit, which can heal better and more quickly than any medicine, will be paralyzed. It is as if someone wanted to learn to write with the left hand: if he always uses the right, he will never learn to do it with the left.
Every event that occurs in our life has a purpose; nothing is pointless; an illness says to a man, 'Drive me away with the power of the Spirit so that the power of the Spirit will be strengthened and once more be lord over the material world, as it was before the Fall'. Anyone who does not do that and relies on medicines alone has not grasped the meaning of Life; he will remain a little boy playing truant. But anyone who can command with the field marshal's baton of the Spirit, scorning the coarser weapons that only the common solder uses, will rise again and again; however often death strikes him down, he will yet be a king in the end.
That is why men should never weaken on the Path to the Goal they have set themselves; just as sleep is only a brief rest, so is death. You do not begin a task to abandon it, but to complete it. A task, however unimportant it appears, once begun and left half-finished, corrodes the will with its poison, just as an unburied corpse pollutes the air of the whole home.
The purpose of our life is the perfection of the Soul; if you keep that goal firmly in your sights, and in your mind and your heart every time you begin or decide something, then you will find yourself possessed by a strange, unknown calm, and your destiny will change in an incomprehensible way. Anyone who creates as if he were immortal -- not for the sake of the object of his desires, that is a goal for the spiritually blind, but for the sake of the Temple of his Soul -- will see the day come, even if it is after thousands of years, when he can say, 'I will it' and what he commands will be there, will happen, without needing time to ripen slowly.
Only then will the point be reached where the long road ends. Then you can look the Sun in the face without it burning your eyes. Then you can say, 'I have found a Goal because I sought none'.
From "The Nightwalk" - The White Dominican - Gustav Meyrink
[END QUOTING]
Live consciously, ever aware that each thought, feeling or action will either help or hinder the ability of Spirit to effectively re-link with and work through you. There is no wasted motion in Life. All is designed to point man back to his Divine origins. Know that your microcosm, although fallen, is immortal. It is the mortal personality enclosed within that microcosm, the man or the woman, who is lost and wandering in Darkness.

Castles Of Sand
Man strives daily to build his worldly castles. With laser-like focus he minutely examines his life circumstances and then compares them to the circumstances of other people, past or present. "That is what I want to be!", he cries. "That is what I want to have!". With resolve he promises "I will be that! I will have that! I'll do whatever is necessary!".
And so, man attacks his life, working diligently to do whatever he can to obtain his oh-so-important earthly goals: success-wealth-power. If he reaches his goal, dissatisfaction arises and he sets higher ones, for there are always those who have more than he. If he fails to reach his goals, he labels himself a failure and a loser.
All is vexation and folly. Why do things never turn out the way we want them to? Why does the boulder we push uphill always come rolling down that same hill, crushing us beneath its weight? Why can't we have what we want in this world? Why can't we be "happy"?
i have news for you. You are not here on this earth to be happy, or successful, or wealthy, or powerful, or famous or any of those things that we are told marks a "successful" life. That is not the point of your incarnation. You are here to seek and find the Kingdom of God that dwells within you. You are here to awaken the Divine Spark that slumbers in the upper right ventricle of your heart. If you do not undertake this effort, then you will have truly failed at Life, for that is the whole purpose behind your being here.
Whatever you try to obtain and retain in this world will inevitably be taken from you. Anything you endeavor to build in this world will eventually collapse. These things will be, they must be, when one seeks from the earth what he should be seeking from Heaven. If your seeking remains horizontal, Universal Law will work overtime to ensure that you never obtain the object of your material desires.
Why is this? Think of it. If one gains what one wants in this world and settles contentedly in a "paradise" of his own making, he will crystallize. He will never feel the urge to seek in a vertical direction. He will never take even the first step to locate the Path. Why should he? He's perfectly happy. That is why all striving must be broken up, again and again and yet again. That is why you fail at what you so ardently desire, that is why those things you accumulate are at some point taken away from you. Man is like the stallion who must have the rider yank the reins repeatedly in order to force his eyes to focus on what is in front of him.
In the same way, you must switch your focus from the things of the earth. Yes, we need to eat and live somewhere and yes, we must provide for ourselves and our children. No one is denying these basic facts. But the chase for earthly comforts beyond the minimum that we need to live will always be rewarded with disappointment and pain. However, if one finds the Path and begins to walk it in honesty and humility, all will change. For then you are attempting to align your will with the Will of the Father. And there is no doubt that those who do so will be guided, protected and provided for. The Father knows His own. From the Holy Language:
"Do not lay up for yourselves treasures buried in the ground, a place where rust and moth destroy and where thieves break through and steal. But lay up for yourselves a Treasure in Heaven, where neither rust nor moth destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there also is your heart.
No man can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and like the other; or he will honor the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon (wealth).
For this reason I say to you, do not worry for your life, what you will eat and what you will drink, nor for your body, what you will wear. Behold, is not Life more important than food, and the Body more than clothing?
Observe the birds of the sky, for they do not sow, neither do they harvest nor gather into barns, and yet your Father in heaven feeds them. Are you not that much more important than they?
Therefore do not worry or say, What will we eat, or what will we drink, or with what will we be clothed? For worldly people seek after all these things. Your Father in heaven knows that all of these things are also necessary for you. But seek first the Kingdom of God and His Righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you". Matthew 6:19-33
Go with the flow, not against it. Build your castles on the most solid of foundations. Leave desire for the things of the earth behind. Aspire to obtain that which is higher, the Pearl of Great Price, the Kingdom of Heaven that you carry within your Divine Spark.

Heart...Broken
The heart wants what it wants, the saying goes. Invariably, what the heart wants is usually not what the man or woman truly needs. So often the search for one's heart's desire returns nothing but disappointment, sorrow and pain as a reward.
But if man is anything, he is persistent. With every crushing blow dealt to him by the pursuit of the unnecessary, he will spend a short period in mourning before resuming his misdirected desires. He may yearn in the same direction, or perhaps in another. Inevitably, the end result will be the same: disappointment.
At some point, if he's fortunate, the man will reach a low-point of despair, a nadir so definite that he will crumble in a heap, limp and exhausted from the chase. What is the use? This world is naught but fruitlessness and sorrow. What is the point? Why am I even here? What is my purpose? I am through with this world, its glamour and false promise. Defeated, he sobs bitterly, doing his best to melt away and leave this earth behind.
This is the key juncture. This is where the heart, which has heretofore pursued its own desires without care or control, is broken like a wild stallion - true heart-break. It now sends forth a yearning, a vibration that will attract a like Vibration in response. Contact is made with the Gnosis, which has been waiting patiently for the heart to be still.
From this broken-heartedness, from the abject misery of perceived defeat, the man, led by the stirrings of the Divine Spark, dries his tears and rises to his feet, the heart now set in a New Direction, burning with the flame of a New Desire.

A Difference Of One Letter
Just before Jesus, pinned to the cross, "gave up the ghost" as some would call it, He called out to the Father. Depending on the spelling of a key word in the Hebrew transliteration, what was spoken was either:
"Eloi, Eloi lama shabaqthani" - "My God, My God, why hast Thou forsaken me?"
or,
"Eloi, Eloi, lama shabacthani" - "My God, My God, how Thou hast glorified me!"
A clever deception has been perpetrated on humanity by those who were charged with "translating" the Bible. The above passage is a prime example. For more on this, a quote from a Theosophical publication written at the turn of the prior century is presented:
[QUOTING]
Question: If Christ was a great Teacher, why did He say at the last, "My God, My God, why hast Thou forsaken me?". Surely this does not sound like a note of victory, like He had achieved the work of redeeming mankind, but more like one of defeat, as though He had failed!
Answer: The passage is a difficult one because the two Hebrew letters qoph and cheth are somewhat alike in sound. If the word was written with the former it would mean to set free, forsake; but if with the latter it would mean to praise or to glorify.
Turning from the form of the words, if we look at the sense of the message we shall at once see a great relief that "glorify", and not "forsaken", was the word used by Jesus. How utterly repugnant it is to all sense of right that Jesus should talk of being forsaken by God! Had not the Voice from Heaven declared "This is my beloved Son, in Whom I am well pleased?" Were not His last words on the cross full of confidence, "It is finished", and "Father, into Thy hands I commend my Spirit"? Besides, we read that on the Mount of Transfiguration Jesus was radiated with heavenly light - "He was transfigured as he spoke of the decease which he should accomplish at Jerusalem". From which it is evident that Jesus recognized it as "glorification".
[This] rescues Christ from the false position that so many centuries, wrongly called Christian, have represented Christ as occupying; and shows Him to be exultant above all suffering, and radiant with glory, a condition which is also ours as the Christ within us fills the whole nature.

[END QUOTING]
Jesus in defeat, bloodied and hung on a cross like dressed meat, is what the enemies of the Christ want mankind to see. By perpetuating this image, the human mind is subliminally impressed with the idea that the Christed One failed in His appointed duty. Alas, if HE failed, what hope is there for me?
This is what your controllers want you to feel. That Jesus was a failure and that evil has triumphed in this world. The translated Bibles have been carefully tampered with in such a way as to preserve their power but to twist the messages until they can no longer be properly understood. Only those with the gnostic key are now able to pierce the veil of deception that has been drawn over the Holy Language. The gnostic works containing the unadulterated Truth were purposely excluded from the Bible and classified as "heresies". Today, these excluded gnostic works are known as Apocrypha, and summarily dismissed by the theologians and so-called 'experts'.
Mark these words, the Christ succeeded in accomplishing everything He had been tasked with during His sojourn on Earth 2,000 years ago. Upon liberation from the physical body, He traveled through the aeon worlds and "cleaned house" so to speak, robbing them of "a third of their power" (Pistis Sophia). This is something He could not have done while in the flesh. This post-mortem work helped to loosen the grip of the archons and aeons on future mankinds right up until this day, where humanity is now able to seek the Truth freely and each day more are finding the Path of Return.
The dark brothers can burn, behead and crucify the Divine Messengers past, present and future. They can view the lifeless carcasses and pronounce themselves rulers but to no avail. The Victory they seek to thwart has already been won.
Dei Gloria Intacta!
