Hello,
We hear a lot about Jesus, Buddha, Krishna - rightfully - as well as other great men who have followed the Path to Liberation but I'm curious about women too. Are there any well-known female figures who followed the Path to Liberation like the Virgin Mary? What are your thoughts on the Divine Feminine, if any? Could you give any examples of women who have led humanity and followed their own path to liberation. Thanks.
Anonymous,
The only names that i can advance are Mary Magdalene, and the sisters Martha and Mary, all mentioned in the New Testament and the Pistis Sophia. They were dedicated disciples of the Christ. Mary Magdalene especially, was deeply connected to the Gnosis. Due to the fact that we are living in a world-cycle where a patriarchal society is the ruler, women tend to be excluded or un-mentioned when discussing the pantheon of the Great Messengers of the Light. This is fine, as there has undoubtedly been many female Christ-figures who walked the earth and taught in long ages past. We just do not have access to that information at this time.
That said, we should try to not get stuck on gender issues. That is a part of the dialectical world, the creation of categories to separate and identify entities who appear to be different but really are not. The sex of the candidate does not matter, nor does his or her notoriety.
True Messengers of the Light as well as true candidates on the Path are very circumspect about their missions. They do not cry out for public notice nor do they advertise their names. They pass as water would through the cracks of a sidewalk. You will not hear of them unless there is a specific purpose that requires them to move to the forefront.
Rest assured there are many personalities who have achieved Liberation after incarnating as a female. There are countless female entities who have transitioned to Shamballa, where, as Daughters of the Holy Land, they serve humanity.
Remember, the human personality is but a tool, a means to an end. It is the "Other One" within that must be liberated, through the efforts of the Candidate on the Path of Return, whether female or male.

Speaking to a friend the other day she said that many years ago she dreamed that there would be be a car accident and someone she loved would die. A few days latter her grandfather was killed during a storm when his car left the road and hit a tree.
How is it possible to have these premonitions of future events if dreams are unreal? Or is our destiny predetermined? I often get the deja vu feeling and once deliberately missed a plane when I was visiting India and the plane which I should of caught crashed. Your thoughts on this mater would be much appreciated Brother Gee.

Re: "How is it possible to have these premonitions of future events if dreams are unreal?"
Dreams are "unreal" only when defined from a physical, earth-centric point of view. This is what happens when we mistake the earth-plane for the only "reality", when there are in fact, countless planes of varying densities, in countless universes, hosting countless "realities".
When we go to sleep at night, our astral body travels to the region of the Astral Realm that is in resonance with the vibration of our astral body. What comes through to the brain just before we awaken may appear to be disjointed dreams but behind those dreams are impressions that we've taken away from our journey in the Astral Realm. Depending on the sensitivity of the human personality's astral vehicle, some are able to bring back these astral impressions to their waking life with extreme clarity, while for others, all that is remembered is a jumbled, disjointed and often confusing or silly dream.
Be advised that "time", so-called, behaves a little bit differently in the Astral World. It is known that events occur in the Astral Realm long before their manifestation in the Physical Realm. So, for those who have the ability to remember aspects of their nightly astral journey, it is possible, in theory, to dream future events. This is the basis underlying the phenomena of "premonition".
Everyone has the potential to exercise this ability, but the astral bodies of most are polluted beyond usefulness in the Astral World. For them, sleep generally means oblivion.
Re: Deja vu
Remember that in truth, there is no "past" or "future". There is only NOW. The so-called "Past" is the remembrance of NOWs that were, and the so-called "Future" is the imagining or premonition of NOWs yet to be experienced. If one contemplates this, one may be able to see how, with a slight shift in consciousness, it may be possible for one to "jump" forwards and momentarily experience a NOW that hasn't happened yet, or jump backwards and momentarily experience a NOW that has already occurred. These subtle shifts manifest themselves as what man calls "deja vu". For most of us, this is the result of a momentary glitch, a tear in The Veil, and is something that we have no control over.
It could be that deja vu is the result of the consciousness somehow re-thinking a NOW moment billionths of a second after the moment has passed. The two moments occur so closely together that the mind interprets the repeat moment as a "memory" of the original moment. We can liken this to how the old vinyl records would skip and repeat under the needle (hopefully, readers will remember what phonograph records were!)
There is also the possibility that because so many personalities have lived in the microcosm, combined with the fact that many incarnations are dreary repeats of prior ones (since the human personality is a slow-learner), the current personality could be experiencing the memory of a moment, or moments, in the life of a prior personality.
The ability to read the Akasha is a psychic power that occult schools have labored over the ages to teach their students, in an effort to "develop" them. The Spiritual School does not teach or advise the cultivation of psychic powers as such development will only bind one more tightly to the reflection-sphere. The Candidate on the Path should acknowledged the phenomena and accept it for what it is, but keep his/her focus fixed ever upon The One Goal: Liberation.

Hello, reading this blog has made me yearn to go on this Path to Liberation. But I must say it's half-heartedly because I'm afraid that I won't be allowed to enjoy life on this earth plane and you once stated on this blog that God will not be mocked so I want to be honest with myself and God. I'm trying to reconcile living a joyful life on earth and wanting to be free from the cycle of birth and death. Wanting to have material success while on earth to provide for the people I love and at the same time denouncing materiality seems almost impossible. Is it wrong to be ambitious and want to accomplish great things that can help people while they are on earth?
Also, I read on the blog that a Michael Jackson aeon in the reflection sphere could exist and it worried me that I won't be allow to listen to his and other people's music anymore as it might deflect from accomplishing the great goal of Liberation. Bob Marley sang a lot about God, universal love and peace but how can I be sure he isn't in the reflection sphere and my listening to his music might not be serving the goal to liberation? I love listening to music and it seems like I can't enjoy that if I'm on the Path to Liberation. Your thoughts on these would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
re: Is it wrong to be ambitious and want to accomplish great things that can help people while they are on earth?
First off, we have a duty to our families and to our occupations. We find the Path while in the midst of the nature-of-death. The conflict that you experience is not out of the ordinary. Jan van Ricjkenborgh writes:
"Of course you will still have to carry out your social tasks. We all have our duties and responsibilities which demand fulfilment and which weigh heavily. Do not neglect your duties. However, when you realize the Eternal Importance propelling the Soul-man within you to Life, then everything social, everything dialectical, however necessary to occupy yourself with for some time, will become of secondary importance. We do not mean that it does not matter any longer, only that The Great Aim will predominate in you by day and by night." from The Longing That Leads To Life
The things we must do, we must do. To enjoy the singing of bird or man, the smell of fresh air, sounds of nature and the beneficial things that men do for one another is not a crime. It is when these things become our FOCUS, our AIM, when we have a NEED to experience these things that we encounter problems on the Path.
If you are not ready to fully commit to the Path, it is good that you recognize that in yourself. There is no shame attached to that admission. However, do not stop your striving. At this point in your journey there will be conflict. But if you persevere in the Gnosis, there will come a time when many of the things that you feel you cannot do without will no longer be as important to you as they once were.
re: reflection-sphere aeons
We shouldn't worry too much about feeding the Michael Jackson aeon, any more than we should be concerned about feeding the Einstein or Tesla aeons. It is more important to avoid feeding the aeons of all the Religions on earth, the aeons of War, the aeons of Greed, the aeons of Sexual Excesses, the aeons of all occult orders past and present. These types of aeons are of a long-lasting stature and their influence over humanity is extremely powerful. We must work to not feed these and other major aeons with our Thoughts and Desires. The deceased King of Pop is not the problem. Unless of course, he becomes a FOCUS of your existence. Then you become bound to something of the Earth, and the Gnosis, which is not-of-this-earth, will recede from you. We cannot serve both God and Mammon.
The Path of Return is a process. There are several steps that have to be taken before we reach Liberation. These steps are a part of the process and cannot be avoided. No one is expected to achieve the One Goal in a single leap. But do not despair. All who sincerely begin walking this Path have awakened their Divine Spark. They are attracting the Light-Power of the Gnosis and because of this, victory for them is assured. If you can continue to maintain a lifelong yearning for the Gnosis, then when you transition from the physical plane, you will be taken up to the Vacuum of Shamballa, where you can complete the process of transmutation and transfiguration with all of the support and nurturing needed. Indeed, this is the Victory At The Start.
So, go ahead and experience earth-life to the biological minimum required. Appreciate those things that merit appreciation, but always keep your focus on the process of Rebirth that you are yearning to complete. If you can keep the Gnosis first, even while handling your earthly duties, you will be fine.
Be in the world, but not of the world.

Watching the Oscars yesterday reminded me of Shakespeare's ' All the world’s a stage,and all the men and women merely players;they have their exits and their entrances'. Its like schools rising, shinning and fading, where the audience is our auric being watching us on stage but the director (spirit spark has fallen asleep) and therefore the play is faulty and not worth an Oscar. Our task is to wake up the director so we can stage a perfect play and win an Oscar!
Hi there,
What is possession? People talk about being possessed. Is it really possession or do people just remember a past personality that takes over their body? I read on this website that lower spirits can take possession of a negative body. Is it possible for higher spirits, so to speak, to take over a high-vibrating vehicle for altruistic purposes or is that person being taken over by the memory/experiences of a past life/personality? Thank you for your time
Anonymous,
Re: "all the world's a stage"
Good allegory. One small correction: the auric being is the fake director controlling the current production as it has taken advantage of the True Director's deep sleep.
It is indeed our task to awaken the True Director and stage a perfect production.
Well done.

Re: "What is possession?"
Possession is the involuntary takeover of a personality's astral or mental bodies.
When the personality dies, it drops the physical body and takes half of the etheric body along with the entire astral and mental bodies into the reflection-sphere, where these bodies will undergo their lawful dissolution.
Some deceased entities refuse to abandon the earth-plane. Their binding with the things of the earth is so strong that they choose to remain active on the lower astral and etheric planes of the earth.
For example, a drunkard dies and transitions. However, we know that nothing changes when one dies. One remains the same person that they were five minutes before they died. So, the dead drunkard will still want to drink. Even moreso once he realizes that he no longer has the physical body to carry out his wish.
So, what does he do? He hangs around bars, saloons and other establishments where alcohol is consumed. He no longer has the physical body to partake in the activity but he can still enjoy his vice vicariously by "overshadowing" someone who is drinking. The more intoxicated a person gets, the less control that person has over his or her vehicles. The connections are loosened, so to speak. It is said that when a person gets intoxicated, a "door" opens in the area of the medulla oblongata. It is through this opened "door" that the deceased drunkard will enter. It is then able to temporarily indulge in the sensations associated with drunkeness. Dizziness, giddiness, difficulty controlling the physical vehicle, angry outbursts, etc. The human-being always exposes itself to possession when it is intoxicated. How many times have you seen or heard someone wake up from a bout of heavy drinking and say "I was not myself last night"?
Why do you think they call alcoholic beverages "spirits"?
Like Attracts Like. If a human-being vibrates at a low level, that low vibration will attract earth-bound entities of the same type. people who are depressed will attract earth-bound entities that enjoy the sensation of depression. People who are sexually promiscuous or deviant will attract earth-bound entities who still crave the sensations that accompany those indiscretions. People who harbor suicidal thoughts...well, you get the idea.
Re:"Is it possible for higher spirits, so to speak, to take over a high-vibrating vehicle for altruistic purposes...?"
So-called "higher" spirits (known as "light-spirits") would never take over the vehicle of a human personality unless there was a pre-incarnation agreement in place that would allow it to do so. However, light-spirits are able to influence human-beings in other, more effective ways, primarily via the power of Thought and Thought-projection. Using this power, a human-being can be made to believe that the thoughts he/she is thinking are his/her own, when in fact, they are not. This is why we are warned to control our thinking and to keep a guard on our thoughts (and our lips).

Re: "or is that person being taken over by the memory/experiences of a past life/personality?"
It is possible that schizophrenia, multiple personality disorders and the like may originate from past-life memories seeping into the current consciousness. Certain violent shocks or disturbances can create a tear in the Veil that separates us from our past-life memories, enabling us to establish a connection with the memories of past personalities. These memories, which are stored in the auric-being of the microcosm, are experienced in the first-person, as "I", because at one point in past of the microcosm, those memories were the life of a personality that lived and died, the I-being of that particular incarnation; an I-being who was just as real then as we are now.
We have all been told as children that there are no such things as ghosts. Man must come out from beneath that lie and realize that there is much going on beyond the Veil that we are unaware of and that these reflection-sphere shenanigans can have a direct impact upon the life of the personality while in the physical body. It is therefore important to maintain control over our Thoughts and Emotions. We should never lean too much towards the Left or the Right. Be neither for nor against anything. Always remain objective, detached, neutral. This will afford us with protection from those denizens of the reflection-sphere who wish to take advantage of our ignorance concerning these matters.

Thanks for the response.
The reason I asked about possession is that I have been feeling possessed but not sure. I don't drink and I try to guard my thoughts and walk the Path. Lately though, I feel a buzz at the top of my head and my head sometimes turns right and left involuntarily. I also feel like I'm in a trance every now and then and it worries me cos I don't understand it. I feel susceptible to another dimension and although I am not afraid, I still worry. Do you have any possible explanation for this? Have you experienced this?
Alice,
When we walk the Path we have to expect that the auric being, the "I", will do whatever it can do to deter, mislead or delay us on our Journey. The I-being will look for any weak spot in the personality of the Candidate and try to exploit it. It is possible that you could be experiencing the effects of this tactic.
Anxiety, Worry and Fear are a Candidate's greatest enemies. Such thoughts and emotions lower the vibration of the Candidate and make it harder for the Rose of the Heart to continue to bloom.
Energy follows Thought; what is FOCUSED upon, GROWS.
Learn to use your Thought-power positively. If you are in the habit of thinking that something is "controlling" or "possessing" you, then that will become your reality because you yourself have vivified it via your flawed thinking and feeling. One should rest in the Power of the Gnosis, knowing that not a hair on one's head will be harmed without the Will of the Father.
The Light-Power of the Gnosis brings healing in its wake. As chakras and power-centers in the astral-etheric body are purified and cleared, the Candidate may experience some physical discomfort. i experienced serious lower back (Sacral Plexus), neck/shoulder (Throat Chakra) and sinus (Brow Chakra) trouble when first starting out on the Path. These were recognized for what they were, as many years had been spent polluting the physical, astral and etheric vehicles. Some discomfort during the cleansing process was to be expected. These issues no longer occur.
However, each one of us is different and thus may experience discomfort in different ways. The transformation that we are undergoing is a radical purification of all of the vehicles of the microcosmic personality. A lot of furniture is being moved around, so to speak. It helps to trust in the power of the Gnosis and the Path that we have chosen.
That said, you know your body better than anyone else. If you feel that there is truly something physiologically wrong that you are unable to remedy or explain, do not hesitate to seek medical attention. No matter how you choose to handle the situation, do not be Anxious, do not Worry and above all, have no Fear.
May God's Peace be upon you.

Thanks again. That was very helpful.
Maharishi talked about the seven states of consciousness,from waking up to unity consciousness. I know LR talks about 7 domains of existence and we are in the 7th domain hopefully trying to reach the 6th domain.
Not knowing anything about the 6th domain presumably it would mean a different state of life, as LR says state of consciousness is state of life. From this it could be assumed we still have 5 domains to go after reaching the 6th domain.
Does the going get easier after we reach the 6th domain or are there still obstacles on our path. The few times that I have become aware of the silence that everything comes from,lasts for a very short time then its business as usual. A French woman Yolande Duran in her book 'In love with silence' describes what it is like to be permanently in this state of silence. Her description is exactly what I have experienced but only for short periods.
Am I and Yolande dreaming or even Blavatsky when she talks about The Voice of the Silence? Most of your blog is about the technicalities of living in the 7th domain and very little about this silence. I consider your blog to be very useful and can appreciate the time you spend answering questions from people like me.
So could I ask, have you experienced the silence? Thank you.
Anonymous,
We are in the 7th Cosmic Domain trying to return to the 6th, not merely trying to reach it. The 6th Cosmic Domain is our true home. The 7th Cosmic Domain, the Physical Realm, is not our home. We "fell" here many millions of years ago and have completely forgotten where we came from.
We, as Divine Sparks, issued from The Logos, the One True God. It is time for us to make the return trip to whence we came. This "return trip" will take us back through the 6th, 5th, 4th, 3rd and 2nd Cosmic Domains until we reach the House of the Father. We have sunken deep enough here in the nadir of Creation. It is time to go Home.
Each of these higher Cosmic Domains vibrate at rates that we cannot imagine at this time. Atoms there possess properties quite different from the properties we see here on Earth. That is all i have heard about the higher Cosmic Domains.
The only way that "the going gets easier" is if we align our will with the Will of the Father. This remains true no matter what Domain we may be in. When we serve both God and God's Creation, there will be no conflict. When we look to serve ourselves we will immediately place obstacles in our own path. Humans still have a hard time understanding this, and so, they struggle.
The Voice of the Silence is the call of the Spirit. This is a call which cannot be heard with earthly ears. It is a "voice" not of this world, and that is why it is called The Silence. This "voice" emanates from the 6th Cosmic Domain and from within the Divine Spark which is trying its best to awaken.
If you "heard" or "felt" anything in regards to The Silence, the odds are that it was reflection-sphere phenomena or the auric-being looking to deceive you. The auric-being has tremendoues powers and abilities at its disposal and can easily trick us into believing something magical is happening to us when it is in fact only a clever ruse designed to interfere with our journey on the Path. It loves to fool us into thinking that we have "made it". For then we will stop our striving on the Path and ultimately fail to reach our objective, which is just what the "I" wants. If you can hear it, see it, taste it, smell it or feel it, then it is of the earth, because those senses are designed to bring the things of the earth to you.
One will know that one has "heard" the Silence when one begins to at least try to voluntarily execute God's Will in all situations, in an unforced manner.
Blavatsky knew what she was talking about when it came to The Silence but much of what she revealed was veiled or withheld from the profane masses. It was the 1880's and mankind was not ready for the level of Truth that is being offered to humanity today.

'If you "heard" or "felt" anything in regards to The Silence, the odds are that it was reflection-sphere phenomena or the auric-being looking to deceive you.' Just a clarification about the silence. I agree 100% that the seven senses are not operating in anyway, there seems to be silence - space - creation. Or a witness, space, where everything seems to come from. Nothing can be said about the silence but there does appear to be space which could be called God's will. Therefore everything that happens is God's will and we simply have to accept this instead of labeling it good or evil according to the knowledge we have. Everything is Life. (GOD's will) Just as the bible talks about the two trees.
Anonymous,
"everything that happens is God's Will..."
It is not God's Will for His creations to indulge in exploitation, enslavement and murder. War and strife are not God's Will. These things are born out of the self-will of fallen Man.
The Will of the Logos is to send forth from Itself pure, Divine sparks that will traverse and administer Its Creation, evolving from power to power and from glory to glory, eventually returning to the Logos carrying the fruitage of a great Harvest of Experiences.
Pursuant to this Goal, the Logos granted Original Man free will and wide latitude in administering the Creation as Divine Servants, Helpers and Co-Creators. After all, what is the Purpose of creating something that you fully control? That is not a Creation, that is a puppet show.
Tragically, Original Man abused the autonomy that was granted him and "fell from grace", as the Holy Language symbolically teaches.
The nature-order that we are now experiencing in was not a part of God's original Divine Plan of Evolution. This is a temporary emergency-order, created to rescue the souls of those Original entities who fell from the Divine Realms. We live in a Universe that is a Cosmic Detour from that which is True. It was God's Will to have this temporary emergency-order universe created for the express purpose of rescuing that which threatens to be lost. This is the Divine Plan of Salvation.
We are not to passively accept those things that are not a part of God's Plan. We must first work ensure that we cease to be a part of the problem. We do that by following the Path of Return. Then, as we journey towards Liberation while executing the Will of the Logos, we are to help other fallen beings to obtain much-needed insight, so that they may also eventually take up their Cross and begin the long journey Home.

Can I ask Brother Gee if you think God is omniscient? If he is all knowing then this nature order is part of his divine plan as he can not make mistakes. To say because he gave us free will and some chose not to follow his will but will eventually return to the Logos carrying a harvest of experiences does not sound reasonable.
However life is very short and anyone is free to believe whatever they wish. Socrates said 'the unexamined life is not worth living' so I'm interested in what your take is on whether God is omniscient. Thank you.
Friend,
Initially, you state that the concept of free will does not sound reasonable, then you end with the statement that anyone is free to believe whatever they wish, which means that the concept of free will is not so unreasonable, but is actually a fact that you support. Just an observation.
One definition of 'omniscient' is: "having complete or unlimited knowledge, awareness, or understanding; perceiving all things."
Yes, The All is Omniscient. When the All emanates a plan for a Creation, It must know everything about what is being created.
However, if the plan of The All is to gain further Awareness, it must allow for a certain measure of 'randomness' in Its Creation. When freedom of Thinking, Desiring and Willing is allowed for all created beings, there will be untold numbers of outcomes that can arise from the interactions of those created beings. These are the experiences that The All seeks to use to increase Its Awareness.
It is felt here that The All is aware of all possible Outcomes that may occur in Its Creation, and is prepared with a Plan to deal with those Outcomes.
Agreed, this nature-order is not a 'mistake'. It is the Outcome of a series of, shall we say, ill-advised actions that this portion of humanity executed that were not in line with God's Divine Plan of Evolution. The need for this temporary emergency-order is one of the many possible Outcomes foreseen for any Creation where Free Will is a linchpin.
If what was mentioned does not sound reasonable to you, that is okay. That does not mean that it is unreasonable. It only means that it is unreasonable to you. i will certainly not try to convince you of anything, or look to force you to accept and understand. It is difficult for many to try to know the Mind of The All, especially since Man's knowledge of God has been twisted and polluted by the watered-down trash that has passed for 'religion' for the past two thousand years.
Man has been lulled to sleep with the mantra of "everything that happens is God's Will". Nothing can be further from the truth. Such a belief system absolves Man from taking responsibility for correcting his present dire circumstances, and effectively dooms him to many more turns on the Wheel of birth and Death.
all love,

I refer to a talk given by Neto Aquilino on Facebook, The awaking of the higher mind who I believe is a pupil of LR. In it he explains that we have two minds which he calls Kama Manas (Lower mind) and Manas (Higher mind). Presently most people including myself only operate from Kama Manas which allows human beings a comfortable existence (survival) for 70 or 80 years.
However if we can activate the rose of the heart, contact can be made with Manas our higher mind which allows contact with the Spirit. He says until this happens we are just in a day dream controlled by our thoughts, desires and actions.
In my humble opinion there is no such thing as free will while we are operating from kama manas only attraction,indifference and repulsion which originates from karma. Free will can operate only when contact with the spirit is made though manas operating, and we are doing Gods will. If we choose not follow Gods will we find ourselves where anything goes, until like the prodigal son experience shows us that there must be a better place.
Like you Brother Gee I am seeking truth and have followed many paths which have led no-where. I appreciate you sharing your experiences with us and am glad you are fellow traveler.
Andrew,
It is generally true that "man does not live, he is lived", as a large portion of humanity is under the control and influence of the aeons of this nature.
However, there is a portion of humanity that does have the ability to exercise some small measure of autonomy over their existence. Just enough to open a Door to Immortality. You are one of them, otherwise you would have no interest in the Path or what it means for your microcosm.
Man has always had the freedom to choose. The problem is that he persists in choosing wrongly. Also, the time to align our will with the Will of the Father is now, otherwise we will never be able to attract Spirit to take up residence in our microcosm.
Finally, we must break the programming that tells us that man is helpless and has no free will. This is what the archons, the rulers pf this nature-order, want us to believe. Through such wrong-thinking, we effectively take ourselves out of the game even though we have everything we need achieve victory. Works out great for them.

Hari Om the truth " when the atmaa or soul never dies "once it's born or manufactured by the divinity God it that is myself just keep's changing bodies now human tomorrow a donkey like we change clothes every day only very fortunate once take human form but with very hard weird conditions so next birth is successful or more easy.
Yes, each incarnation we "change clothes", so to speak.
Re: "...tomorrow a donkey".
This does not happen. The doctrine that proposes this is in error on this bbn point. The immortal part of the human-being is never debased in that manner. There are other ways to teach the wayward soul than to throw it into an animal body. Man passed beyond the animal phase of evolution long ago.
