Balanced Preparation

"SINCE 1975, there has been a steady stream of pure Cosmic force released onto the planet and all of its life forms, by the Spiritual Hierarchy. It is designed to elevate the consciousness of both. It will help the Earth to get safely through its period of change and initiation. It will enhance the evolution of consciousness. You will encounter more and more people in all areas of the world who are thirsting to discover and fulfill their missions in life. Many of them will find that that purpose is indeed tied into a role they must play in this period of Earth changes. Many of them have incarnated specifically to go through this period and some of them have gone through such periods in the ancient past and have come to guide others through this time, those who have never lived during such a period. Others have gone through periods of upheaval before and have not survived and thus have a 'karma' with the planet itself. This is why it is so important to realize the importance, spiritually, of this period of time.

You are each on a different rung of the evolutionary ladder. You each have your own measure of knowledge and understanding of yourselves. Some of you may even have the advantage of  'remembering' lives in other times of earth upheaval. To some of you, such recall may equip you to survive this new change period, while it may cause others of you to be afraid. No matter where you are in evolution, you are all human, living in a fragile balance between life and death. You are all subject to the 'will to live'. You all have an astral or emotional body and are full of feelings that you must learn to successfully deal with in order to grow. It is, perhaps, more difficult for some than others.

I dare say that when the Earth changes, and all that accompanies that period begins, and becomes apparent enough, no teacher or informer would have too much trouble getting most people to comply with the physical survival techniques. Even those who may have scoffed at those of you who have seen the need to prepare ahead of time for this period, and have considered you as 'doomsayers'. Perhaps the majority of these people will be able to survive physically, but will they have their other bodies as prepared and in balance? This is an important question, to be sure."

From "The Earth Changes Survival Handbook" - Page Bryant (1983)

We are to prepare ourselves on all levels. Remember, we are multi-dimensional beings. In addition to our physical bodies, we (and the Earth) have an etheric body, an astral body, and a mental body. Together, these constitute the lower self, the Personality. All of these bodies are active upon their own planes, even though most humans are completely unaware of this activity. The coming Transition will affect all densities of matter in this solar system. It is our task to bring all of our vehicles as close to balance as we possibly can in an effort to maximize the beneficial effects of this Transition for the Earth and her inhabitants.

Balance your physical and etheric vehicles - completely forsake corpse-eating, alchohol and tobacco. Eat raw foods (fruits and vegetables) as much as possible. Drink pure water. Get plenty of sunshine. Keep the body as scrupulously clean as possible. Abstain from sex and the wasting of the creative force.

Balance your astral (emotional) body - be NEUTRAL in your REACTIONS to physical, emotional and mental stimuli. This requires that you consciously control your 'feeling response' to these impulses. Learn to ACT from a point of balance, not simply REACT out of habit. Open the heart centre by way of selfless service and unconditional, no-strings-attached love for your fellow souls, no matter who they are, no matter what they've done.

Balance your mental body - CONTROL WHAT THOUGHTS ENTER AND LEAVE YOUR MENTAL ARENA. You are responsible for your thoughts. Do not allow any physical or non-physical entity to impose, insert, insinuate, implant or suggest thoughts to you that violate the Commandments or the Laws of Creation and Balance. Do not gossip, judge, or criticize. Strive to maintain the highest and purest thoughts possible. Seek true Knowledge. Discern with wisdom. Meditate.

These are small suggestions. Each category a science in itself. Only a fragment can be offered here by way of advice. Everything is within your power to effect. The Harvest must be gained primarily by one's own efforts. Do your part, and Divinity will meet you halfway. Brings to mind an old axiom:

"God will work with you. He will not work for you".
