Be In The World, Not Of The World

To effectively neutralize the effects of Duality's ever-moving pendulum of Opposites, it helps if one works to develop an attitude of intelligent detachment. We're not asked to be cruel or un-caring, we are asked to recognize the origins of what the physical realms present to us from one moment to the next. We are then advised to not allow these presentments to grab hold of us mentally or emotionally and wring an impulsive reaction out of us.

Again, one is not being advised to become a robot, or to not have empathy, compassion for others, etc. One is being advised to act intelligently to life stimuli, instead of blindly re-acting to situations out of ignorance. Things happen (for the better) when one can adopt such an attitude while on the physical plane.

The following from "Serving Humanity" by Alice Bailey.

[QUOTE]

Detachment

You must develop the attentiveness of the One who looks on at life and at the life struggle of others. It is necessary for you to learn that when you can avoid identifying yourself so closely with people, refraining from suffering so consciously with them, you can be of greater service to them, and a finer friend and helper. Therefore, for you, detachment is an outstanding requirement and a quality to be cultivated.

This is not the detachment of of self-protection or of self-immunization or of aloofness, but that soul detachment which works from soul levels and -- seeing all life in the Light which streams from the soul -- regards everything from the standpoint of Eternity. You must see people truly, and as they are -- with their faults and their virtues, their divinity and their humanity.

You ought to acquire that inner, divine detachment which sees life in its true perspective. A man is thus left free and untouched by aught that may occur. The ideal attitude for you is that of the Onlooker who is in no way identified with aught that may happen on the physical and emotional planes, and whose mind is a limpid Reflector of Truth. This truth is intuitively perceived , because there are no violent mental reactions or emotional states of response.

Work with detachment and, because you are demanding nothing for the separated self, all things will therefore come to you.

The Middle Way

Your personality attachments must develop into a deeper attachment to the souls within the forms. Thus understanding grows. There is a vice of detachment as well as a vice of attachment, and the true Servant of the Plan seeks the middle way.

Divine Indifference

You must learn to view what is said or suggested by any group brother, with a complete and carefully developed "divine indifference". Note the use of the word "divine" for it holds the clue to the needed attitude. It is a different thing to the indifference of not caring, or the indifference of a psychologically developed "way of escape" from that which is not pleasant; nor is it the indifference of superiority.

It is the indifference which accepts all that is offered, uses what is serviceable, learns what can be learnt, but is not held back by personality reactions. It is the normal attitude of the soul to the not-self. It is the negation of prejudice, of all narrow preconceived ideas, of all personality tradition, influence or background. It is the process of detachment from "the world, the flesh and the devil".

What is indifference? I wonder...if you understand the significance of this word "indifference"? It means, in reality, the achieving of a neutral attitude to that which is regarded as the Not-self. It is active repudiation without any concentration upon that which is repudiated.

Duality? What's That?

Experience on this planet is governed by Pairs of Opposites. Every thing has it's anti-, or opposite-thing. Because we experience in a balanced Creation, a given "thing" and it's "anti-thing" must exist in balance to one another. Here. Get a pencil and paper. Draw a circle. Now draw a straight line through the circle. On one side of the line, write "Good". On the other side of the line write "Bad".

You have just out-pictured the attributes of "Good" and "Bad", perfectly balanced. Notice that "Good" and "Bad" are contained within the same circle. They are two sides of the same thing. These opposites, ALL pairs of opposites in the fallen realms, must maintain a balance in relation to each other. Remember this axiom from The Hermetic Kybalion:

V. The Principle of Rhythm

"Everything flows, out and in. Everything has its tides; all things rise and fall; the pendulum-swing manifests in everything; the measure of the swing to the right is the measure of the swing to the left; rhythm compensates."

"The measure of the swing to the right is the measure of the swing to the left". This is a good example of what Duality is. Every thing has its polar opposite. Those opposites must remain in balance. Therefore, each time we have a thought or feeling, we inspire its opposite to manifest itself.

Take another look at the circle we just drew. Now imagine that we have a thought to do something "good". With that one "good" thought, immediately, the line that divides "Good" from "Bad" is no longer straight. It will bend a little as the "Good" side grows in area a little bit. Due to the aforementioned Law of Balance, the "Bad" side will immediately move to regain the ground that it lost, and "bad" thought impulses will be generated. Ultimately, Balance is restored.

We think that we are doing "good" when we move to help others, save the world, send thoughts of "light and love". In actuality, all we are really doing is perpetuating evil by compelling it to "push back" against the "good" that has disturbed the balance between the two. The archons, aeons and light-spirits assist in this process, and benefit from our misguided acts.

Love-Hate, Wealth-Poverty, War-Peace, etc. What's written above can be applied to any of these. In fact, it can be applied to any of the Pairs of Opposites that you can think of.

This is how man ignorantly maintains evil in the world, even when he does his best to "do good". This is why evil flourishes and thrives despite our best efforts. Have you ever wondered why is it that we can be blissfully happy one moment, and then a few minutes, hours or days later we are as miserable as can be?

You just found out why. That's Duality

That's why, in the Garden, it was called "The Tree of The Knowledge of Good and Evil". The inhabitants were advised to not eat the fruit thereof as it would set the pendulum in motion, and Man's suffering would begin.

That being said, it now appears as if that was the Plan all along, as it is only by way of Suffering that most of humanity will be able to reach the conclusion that this world cannot be improved upon, cannot be changed by our efforts (no matter how sincere) and will never be a Paradise. When this realization dawns upon the Man or Woman, it is hoped that he or she will then be ready to open their hearts to the Christine Radiations that have always been available to us, waiting for us to respond, to invite them in.

It is then that we can begin the Long Journey Home.

The Two Kingdoms

The Divine, Immutable Kingdom (aka "The Eternal Heaven"):

Where knowledge of one's connection to The Creator and to all other entities is constant and Self-evident. Heaven. Joy, Happiness, Bliss are ever-present and eternal. There are no Polarities. From where the Human Life-Wave "fell", and seeks to return - to continue experiencing in The Divine Plan of Evolution.

The Un-divine, Mutable Kingdom (aka "The Emergency Order"):

Where Knowledge of one's connectedness to The Creator and all Creation has been severed. Duality. Where Joy, Happiness, Bliss are temporal and fleeting. All is Polarity, as every thing has its Opposite-thing. Where the Human Life-Wave now endeavors to escape, via The Divine Plan of Salvation established for the purpose of salvaging fallen Souls before they crystallize beyond redemption.

YOU Are Here.

These two kingdoms are separate and distinct from one another. They exist as entire Universes in separate realms of vibration.

The Question:

People are always asking, "If God 'loves' us so much, if God is 'everywhere', then why does he allow such-and-such to happen here on Earth? Why does God 'allow' pain and suffering?".

The Answers:

The Love of the Creator is in all things. Just because one cannot effectively sense or interpret that Love does not mean that it does not exist.

Souls from our Life-Wave once lived, moved and had their being within the Bosom of Divine Love. While investigating the Realms of Matter, a segment of that Life-Wave became ensnared in the lower vibration of Fear and gradually lost their connection with The Source of All.

These souls, as they continued to respond to external stimuli in Fear, became more and more polluted. Their negative karma grew uncontrollably, their "self" focus intensified, until it became apparent that unless something was done, these souls would ultimately have to be purged by Fire, and lost forever.

Out of Love for these fallen Souls (you and i) this planet was quarantined by Divine Fiat, and an "emergency order" was established. Human souls would continue to take on physical bodies, but would live shortened lives, in order to minimize the extent of mischief they would surely generate. Human souls would have to experience "death" and retire to what has been called "the reflection sphere"(what humans now erroneously believe to be a "permanent" after-life). The physical robe would be dropped and the soul would spend perhaps hundreds of years there, assimilating their experiences, only to prepare for yet another turn on the seemingly un-ending "Wheel of Birth and Death".

The purpose of the emergency order is to allow fallen souls, via "free will" choices, to find their way back to The Divine Kingdom, to re-establish their connectedness with The Creator and to all of Creation. Fallen human souls, which have erroneously considered themselves as separate and apart from The Source of All and from one another, would remain trapped here until such time as those erroneous ways of thinking and behaving were completely and fundamentally reversed.

By allowing fallen human souls to "learn from their mistakes", a Wisdom-Greater-Than-Man's knew that eventually, after perhaps eons of pain resulting from Separative and Selfish behavior, some souls would tire of the game, show receptiveness to the Divine Radiations, and thus begin the long climb upwards, out of the bog of Matter, back to towards The Divine Kingdom.

So yes, Creator does Allow, and yes, Creator does Love. Through the implementation of The Divine Plan of Salvation administered here in the emergency order, souls have been saved, are being saved and will continue to be saved from eternal extinguishment. This is the Ultimate example of Creator's Love and Dedication to each and everyone of us.

The use of "free will" in the emergency order is one of the keys to the Plan's success. If someone tells a child not to touch something hot, explains the consequences, etc., that child may or may not learn to not touch something hot. As we know, most children will not retain such information and a painful experience with something hot usually proves to be a much better teacher, effecting more lasting results.

It is hoped that the foregoing will be given deep consideration. For more detail on this subject, please see this past post regarding The Emergency Order.

Nothing's As Easy As It Looks

Recent posts regarding "dimensional shift", an aspect of the "ascension process" were presented to illustrate one of the possibilities that lie ahead. It was not intended to imply that attainment would be easy.

A Reminder: Nothing's As Easy As It Looks.

There is much work that has to be done in order to make a run at transfiguration, or even activation of the heart center, which must be done before any other work can be attempted. There is no single school, book, or guru that can make one "certified" for expanded awareness and higher consciousness. There is only serious WORK that must be done, and that work takes place right in this moment, in whatever situation that you find yourself in at this moment.

Recently came across this definition of Spirituality: "Spirituality is a conscious transformative process that turns the lower into the higher."

A key word there is "conscious", as in: one must be aware of what one has to do to effect this "transformative process".

Next, an observation :

"Does it help to know that there are seven planes of consciousness when our marriages are breaking up or our teenage child doing hard drugs? Probably not. But what might help is an understanding that experience is the carrier of consciousness and to be able to accept that whatever hell these experiences put us through on the subplanes of the mental and astral planes (accessed through our personalities), they will, for sure, be providing some kind of opportunity to change consciousness in some way.". - FDK

We are urged to not discount the value of the common experiences that present themselves to us in each moment. To do so is to waste valuable time. It is not enough to have knowledge of what it takes to effect a change in consciousness. It is living that knowledge - practical application - that will offer tangible results.

One cannot just say, think or feel that one is dedicated to Service. Right Action, constantly, unceasingly, consciously and selflessly undertaken in response to every experience/opportunity is the only thing that will provide proof of one's legitimate service orientation.

In the areas of Harvestability, one is not judged by what one knows, but by what one does.

A Short Q & A

Recently, a friend had a couple of very good questions/observations which couldn't be answered in a few sentences in the "Comments" section. The answers are posted here.

Q: Children are innocent though and don't yet understand the choice. Do you believe they will graduate without needing to make that choice?

A: Souls incarnating on Earth understand before-hand the terms and the length of their incarnation. Those who are being born at this time are aware (on a soul level) that their sojourn on earth will be short. Whether they graduate depends on the vibratory rate of their Soul, which has developed to its current state over the course of many lifetimes and will not change much in six to twelve human years. How much negative karma can a six year-old generate? Also, it is held that children are not karmically responsible for their actions until around the age of twelve.

Looking from the outside-in, it appears to us unfair that children should be swept up in the Tribulations. However, if we look from the perspective of the inner side of life, one can be assured that if the Soul of the child is of sufficient vibration, that Soul will graduate.

In addition, some children are higher souls who incarnate for specific purposes, such as attempting to provide a catalyst for adult humans to make necessary changes in their lives. This is often done by way of what some would perceive (from the outside-looking-in) as "tragedy".

Q. And what of those who don't have the ability to comprehend all this? Most people seem to actually enjoy the 3D negative world and many would actually choose to stay there I'm sure. My concern is that in this present life, most ppl just aren't aware of what is happening or can't take it seriously.

A: It is almost a guarantee that the vast majority of humanity has had several strong opportunities offered to them during this current lifetime (and previous lifetimes), to "heed The Call". How many times have they laughed scornfully at, or completely ignored, the messengers who were sent to warn, teach and assist them in Awakening?

These ones do indeed enjoy their attachment to duality, and as such shall receive much more of it in the millions of years ahead, just as they wish. What they are unaware of, is that there is almost zero chance of their retaining any memory of their prior incarnations and it is highly doubtful that they will occupy a human-like form. They will learn through suffering, for eons, if necessary, until they finally tire of The Wheel and call out to the Divine, by Choice.

Q: I find it incomprehensible that they can't feel something happening. I expect the entertainment and other addictions dulls one's senses.

A: You have literally provided a portion of the answer. The human microcosm is bombarded second-by-second (by aeonic and aeonically-influenced human forces) with so much stimuli that the brain has learned to filter out what is unnecessary and extraneous. Because most humans are little more than robot-like in their awareness, they bounce crazily from one impulse to the next, gratifying their sense pleasures while steadily dulling their finer, more subtler vibrations. This is why mankind is strongly advised to stop reading newspapers and periodicals, stop watching television, stop listening to radio, stop reading novels, etc. The best way for one to make contact with The Voice of the Silence, their Divine Spark, is to clear the mind of thought stimuli by meditation. One cannot do that if one continues to subject oneself to material that is specifically designed to stimulate and excite the lower, or "animal" part of the human vehicle.

As to whether these ones can "feel something happening", most assuredly, they do. "Every thinking adult knows that something is very wrong on Earth, but not every adult human being listens to their true, spiritual Conscience..." - The New Call

Those humans who are resisting The Call, or unable to respond to it, are disquieted, disturbed and agitated. That is why we are seeing so many atrocities being committed the world over, so much inhumanity of man towards man, as those Souls which have chosen to not walk The Path are lashing out wildly in the face of the approaching energies that will erase them from The Book of Life. As the Christine energy has already reached the astral realms, spirits there are fleeing the inevitable purge and some have managed to break through into this dimension, where they can and will take up residence in any human who is evil-enough, weak-willed enough, or foolish enough to allow them entry. That was not a misprint.

There is a separation of Souls taking place at this moment: Souls of lower vibration to the left, souls of a higher vibration to the right. Undecided? Go stand in the line to the left until you make up your mind.

Just don't wait too long.

Thanks to Diane, for posing these questions.

To all: many questions such as these (and some you've probably never thought to ask) are addressed and answered in the Q & A section of The New Call.

Shift To A New Order

The following is an additional excerpt from "The Hathor Material - Messages from an Ascended Civilization". Received and transcribed by Tom Kenyon & Virginia Essene © 1996.

This from the chapter entitled "Stabilizing in Chaos".

[QUOTING]

The "new order" is a new order of time and space. It is basically an opportunity for individuals to pass through three-dimensional consciousness to fourth-dimensional consciousness and beyond. What it means occurs on many levels, so we will describe a few if its major attributes. One such attribute is that of instant manifestation. In fact, you can tell you're getting closer to the dimensional shift when the events in your life move faster and faster, and the length of time between the moment you think or say something until the time it happens gets shorter and shorter. Many are already experiencing this.

There will be a new appreciation of the Earth, and the Earth herself will go through a radical change during which time she will become more conscious. There will be a global connectedness of beings. It will be as if all of humanity becomes of one mind and one consciousness. There will indeed be a feeling of direct connection to one another and also to the Earth.

The transition into another dimension as we understand it from our perspective, does not so much involve the soul as it involves all levels, including the physical body. The soul is affected, yes, and the soul experiences a much greater freedom in the fourth-dimensional reality than it does in the third dimension. Every level of self moves, oscillates, vibrates faster.

Let us put it this way: In our experience of ourselves with one another, we have form; we can touch each other as humans do. But if you were to try and see us, we would be invisible unless you are clairvoyant and notice our fields of color and light...unless you tune in to our specific perception of ourselves. In that case, you would see our forms because what we have done is to actually filter the perception of our energy bodies through our own self-image. Then that's what you would see.

But our central nature in our higher dimension, in relation to your third dimension, vibrates so fast that it is virtually invisible or is just like a blur of light to you. It is like the propeller of a plane. When it sits still you can see the prop but when it starts turning, you can't see it. It becomes a blur, like a disc. So it is the same in the relationship between the dimensions... As the [humans], plants and animals begin to vibrate faster, those who are in the third dimension will not see them anymore. However, those who are in the fourth dimension will see them because the frequency matches.

[END QUOTING]

The "Shift of the Ages" is a shift of Awareness. Those who can "tune" their awareness to the higher vibrating densities that are inter-penetrating ours right at this moment will "shift" from this 3rd dimension to 4th, 5th or higher, depending on where they are on a soul level. That's why it's most important to work on the inner person, to work on discarding all of the things that chain one to 3rd density, the fallen realm, the realm of duality.

It's not about selfishly stock-piling food, water and ammunition. It's about raising one's auric vibration, through sincere and unselfish Kindness, Compassion and Service-to-Others, to a level that will qualify one for Graduation to these higher densities.

When the time comes, and the world around you is in panic and uproar, remain calm. Know that those who have qualified will be protected and assisted. A place has been prepared. The Christ will know His own.

But, you MUST prepare.

To Serve Life

The following is excerpted from "The Hathor Material - Messages from an Ascended Civilization". Received and transcribed by Tom Kenyon & Virginia Essene © 1996.

This from the chapter entitled "The Unasked Question". All emphasis are mine.

[QUOTING]

Nothing is binding or absolute in the relative Universe in which you live. The only thing which is absolute and unchanging is the deepest unmoving center of your own consciousness. As you begin to align yourself with the evolution of life itself, with the growth of life and consciousness, you will be lifted up in a way that you may not be able to imagine. For miracles occur! Opportunities open and your destiny is changed when you live in service to life. Why? This vibration changes all things in the twinkling of an eye. The past can be changed and the future opened with possibilities beyond imagination. And so, we challenge you to live and experiment just as many saints, teachers, and masters have done previously -- and are currently doing. Try it for a few weeks and see what happens. When there is an opportunity to be kind to another human or animal, let your kindness show. When there is an opportunity to show compassion to another, be compassionate.

When there is an opportunity to listen to someone, grant the grace and listen. Listen fully and deeply without wanting to impose your own views, your own agendas.As you listen to hear and receive the other, you will see your relationships being vastly and quickly transformed. There are miracles waiting for you when you ask The Unasked Question, "What can I do here that will serve the greater good? What can I do here that will serve life's deepest purpose through me?".

Finally, we would say to you that you hold the keys to your own liberation, to your own enlightenment, to your own upliftment. These keys are obtained through the power of your awareness, your ability to make choices, and the Law of Vibration and Resonance. The law assures that whatever you resonate to will be revealed to you. If your consciousness resonates with the highest of the high, you will experience life in an exalted celestial way. If you experience your life through the vibration of conflict and greed and constricted awareness then you will experience life as a kind of hell. All of these domains and realms exist simultaneously and can be activated by you at any moment. In fact, they are activated by you every moment of your life through the act of choice.

Every interaction you have with another human being is an opportunity to serve life. When you stop to fill your car with gas, when you go to the grocery store, or when you see a fellow worker, it's an opportunity to be kind and concerned. If you are so rushed or so involved with your own affairs, however, that other people are merely objects, then you have missed one new opportunity of sacredness. You have missed an opportunity to serve life. But when you are in these situations and you pause for just a moment, remembering that you are with another human sharing the Sacred Mystery of life, you have the opportunity to serve life.

Indeed, if you pause and look another in the eye, or you simply acknowledge them in some way for being something more than an object, then you have served life. This is done from human to human or sometimes from human to pets, animals, plants and other life forms. Essentially it's done from being to being. By acknowledging within yourself that each being you meet has value, you serve life. You may not know who they are, their history, or what they believe, but they are part of life and so you acknowledge them. If you hold that intent in your energy field, love and acceptance get communicated to them. And that is serving life.

[END QUOTING]

These Elder Brothers (the Hathors) have been where we are and have attained what we are trying to attain. Their message here is clear: the raising of one's conscious awareness and auric vibration can be as simple (or hard) as one makes it. Each and every human is being challenged to put away the strangling "self"-focus that many have spent eons developing and reveling in. The days of Separateness on this planet are now over.

Candidates for the the Lesser Harvest (to the New Earth) must share this common foundation - service to life. Because in the higher spheres, this is "how they roll", so to speak. These are the kinds of Souls that are welcomed to the Wedding Feast. So, Demonstrate Your Choice, consciously, every minute of every day. If one dedicates one's self to making these efforts with sincerity and unselfish motives, it is guaranteed that one's focus and one's experiences will take a significant turn for the better. That Soul will be resonating in harmony with the Love of the Creator and sharing in the Joy of such a glorious association. With this new attitude, one's qualifications for Harvest will greatly improve.

Serve Life.

The Spirit/Ego Partnership

Picked up this book yesterday to research a passage and found myself re-reading an entire chapter. For those who do not already own this work, the following is excerpted from "Return of the Bird Tribes" received by Ken Carey.

Chapter 4 - Survival, Cooperation, and New Beings.

[QUOTE]

Just as distinct, little beings work together to produce each complete human cell, there are spirit beings designed to work in symbiotic cooperation with each human ego.

There are many names for us. We have been called angels, Bird Tribes, higher selves, hoksedas, spirits of the stars. The reality of what we are is more than a name can convey. We are the multiple projections of the Eternal One, spirits designed to blend with present day humans. You now consider yourselves to be your egos, but egos are only one half of the human equation. The complete human is a spirit/ego partnership.

We are individualized aspects of one holy and eternal Being. We are your spirits as they exist apart from the spell of matter. We do not evolve. We incarnate. Our intelligence is pre-existent; our identities, highly focused frequencies of starlight. You need us to be whole, just as we need you to fully enter the physical plane. We seek to awaken in your minds and hearts, to incarnate in your bodies.

We are here to return your human circuitry to its Creator. Yet, your human egos are the guardians of this circuitry, the stewards of your minds and hearts; and without your ego's cooperation, our bonding with you is impossible.

Hundreds of thousands of little beings, all working voluntarily together, make a human body what it is. It is not a case of survival of the fittest, as your belief systems, based on short-term observation, proclaim. It is rather a case of flourishment of the most cooperative, as all long-term observation of the universe verifies. It is through cooperation with one another that diverse forms of life adapt and thrive. And it is only through the symbiotic cooperation of a multitude of simpler organisms that more complex organisms like your bodies are able to come into existence at all.

At critical stages in their development, life forms cooperate for their own advantage with other separate and distinct life forms. Over time, their cooperation results in union. A new organism comes into being. Again and again this occurs in the formation of complex life forms.

This is analogous to what is about to happen again as your late 20th century human world reaches the optimal moment for materially-oriented, ego-ruled human beings to be joined by their spiritual counterparts.

Your race is soon to experience widespread awakenings, or as some will see it, a massive descent of beings from the stars.

[END QUOTE]

No one's asking the ego to disappear, vanish or to cease to exist. The ego is being asked to step aside and resume its rightful role as caretaker of the physical body while divine spirit comes aboard to "pilot the ship". The ego/personality stands to lose its position as the "boss of you", but that is only because a "new boss", your divine spirit, is waiting in the wings ready to complete and implement the Original Design intended for God's greatest creation to date - the Human Being.

This cosmic unification, is what awaits all qualified humans here on Earth at the end of this major world-cycle.

The Goal?

Transfiguration.

How do we "qualify"?

Selfless service to others and "self"-forgetfulness.

Those who have ears to hear, let them hear.

Two Masters

"We are living in a period of radical purification and a parting of Souls. The gates of both Heaven and Hell are now opening wide, and every single person in the world must now make a choice one way or the other, for no one can serve two Masters."

-- Servers of the Divine Plan

The "Suggestion Box"

Television has many disparaging nicknames..."boob tube", "idiot box", etc. To my knowledge it does not have any flattering nicknames. i wonder why that is? i have another nickname for television. i call it "The Suggestion Box". i call it that because that is its function. To "suggest" impulses to lazy, non-seeking human minds.

The human being is a sophisticated receiver. Like a radio, it can tune to directed frequencies and then broadcast those frequencies far and wide. This is a simplified example, but it fits.

A radio has no thoughts of its own. It transmits what is broadcast to it. This is where the majority of humanity is. We tune in to the frequencies that match our own. We then turn that input right back around and project it into the world-at-large. The world-at-large picks it up and re-broadcasts it right back to us. And so the cycle continues, ad infinitum.

And we wonder why the world is the way it is.

Most every communicative medium designed by man in this fallen, material world has been designed with one over-riding purpose in mind. That purpose is to unceasingly broadcast impulses to the human kingdom which, if acted upon, will only result in pain, sorrow, suffering and the like. All of our mass-media has been created with one this focus in mind: to project stimuli to human minds that will distract, negatively influence and agitate.

Look at your newspapers, filled with fear-generating stories. Your radio, over-flowing with hate-filled talk and sex-filled music. Look at your television, with its non-stop hundreds of useless channels broadcasting filth, violence, low human behaviour, false glamour and myriad temptations. Even your books carry mostly fantasy-ridden garbage, anything and everything to guide the human mind away from what the soul truly needs and requires.

What good have any of these mediums ever brought you? Think about it. Think about it! What is lasting about any of it? What is uplifting or enlightening to your Soul? Nothing! That is why there is always another "episode", another "issue", another "book". The numbing of the mind has to keep going, and going, and going, in order for the plan of the Dark Ones to succeed.

"Entertainment" is not Evolution! "Entertainment" is not what we are here for!

Here's an experiment. Dare you to try it. For one day...one day, 24 hours...do not watch television. Do not read a newspaper or magazine. Do not listen to the radio. Do not read a book. Do not play video games or make useless texts and phone calls. Live in this manner for 24 hours. When the 24 hours are over, compare that experience to what you "normally" experience. Which experience was more rewarding? Which would you prefer to have more of?

It is hoped that you will obtain a closer understanding of what life can be like without "The Suggestion Box". It is hoped that some can make this a habit.

Take back control of your Mind.

Take back control of your Soul.

Free yourself.

The Ego - A Journey Into Fear - Conclusion

This post concludes the reprint of Chapter 2 "Carved In Stone" from "Return of the Bird Tribes" received by Ken Carey

Part IV

[QUOTING]

Human creation was still in process when the ego-controlled humans ran off into the jungle. We called after them:

Whatever you do, do not cut off communication with us! Without the perceptual input of your Invisible Spirits, you will never survive as conscious beings in the jungle of subconscious matter. You do not have a view of the larger picture. You won't see the forest for the trees. Come back! You cannot remain conscious motivated by Fear. You will experience Sorrow, Suffering and Death.

But the ego-humans ignored our warning and departed into worlds of Illusion. Their fear stirred up emotional turbulence, which crackled like constant static across the frequencies that were intended to connect us. Further communication with them was impossible. We had to let them go. Their free will was an essential ingredient in the larger, terrestrial gestation that was taking place.

As millenia passed, fear-centered egos came to dominate other tribes of early humans. Warfare was initiated. Love-centered egos declined in number. Eventually, fear-motivation supplanted love-motivation as the dominant human deity. And it would tolerate no other god.

So it was that the egos took the center stage of human identity.

The implications proved greater than anyone had dreamed. Human societies initially woven together by the gentle currents of tribal affection began to break up and decline. Like a beast issuing ignorance, the savagery of the cave man era was released upon the earth. The spirit world blueprints, The Great Spirit's operating instructions for the human body's proper use were ignored, the earth's guidance system, short-circuited. Our communication systems, designed to connect us with our creation, were now inoperative. We were left with no choice but to guide the rebellious tribes externally and trust that eventually they would learn.

We longed to see our people running lightly through the forests and meadows again, creating songs that would bring joy to the earth and her creatures -- not struggling in pain, building their huts and hovels along crowded river banks. We longed to see the warrior societies stop hurting one another and crying out desperately to images of a God now carved in stone. We longed for them to start seeing once again, with their own eyes, the spirit of the living God that is both the Creator Mother Earth, and the eternal Spirit Fire of the Sun. We longed to see them welcome us back to complete the design for the optimal development of our sacred world.

But your ancestors were difficult, oh so difficult back then to reach. For when human beings cut off their conscious connection with the Great Spirit, they enter the twilight realms of the subconscious where Evolution, Education and Precise Justice prevail. The Lords of Karma meticulously rule these twilight worlds, like well-trained umpires policing every wrong and right, seeing that the books are balanced at the end of every age.

For the sake of saving as many of you as possible, closed systems -- tribes, nations, even whole continents -- were isolated to preserve the rights of the inhabitants to choose their own forms of education.

Tens of thousands of years passed, containing many epics, histories and adventures.

We of the Angelic Realms preserved the harmony in as many lands as we could. For thousands of years, we exercised a benevolent stewardship over the warrior races. Many traditions still recall our era of stewardship as "the age of the gods". But as your ancestors multiplied, gradually the lineage of the Bird Tribes receded. Gracefully, we gave space for your cycle of learning to unfold.

The few incarnate ones whose egos did still love and serve the spirits of God, quiet, peaceful people, took to the hills, the mountains, or the islands of the world when the warrior tribes became too troublesome in their native lands. In some of these tribes we were fully incarnate. In others, our guidance was sought, but we were seen as external beings, separate from themselves. The former we guided from within, the latter, from without. With them, we retreated to the higher places, and, if needed, to higher places still. Ultimately, most of the gentle ones flew to the heavens to wait, choosing not to incarnate.

But even during times when we were not able to incarnate in all, we were still educating, teaching and, as you will see, influencing the course of human events.

[END QUOTING]

Well, that's the end of an important chapter of a special work. The book is available on-line for a very low price and is highly recommended.

There are important keys embedded in the chapter you have just finished reading. It must be contemplated and then understood that Man is an unfinished creation, the un-divine half of what was meant to be a Divine whole. Man's ego, which was designed to protect the physical instrument, has taken that responsibility and run amok. As the ego is mostly blind to the spiritual realms, it cannot see or defend itself from the aeonic forces that bind and manipulate it, influencing the Unfinished Man to continue to commit the very acts that will chain him to the Wheel of Birth and Death indefinitely.

Once we see that we have been separated from the Conscious aspect of our being, once we can accept that we are Incomplete, we can begin to seek and invite the Light we once rejected to return into our lives. The Quest has always been for Consciousness to re-unite with Subconsciousness. Once this reunion is completed, Spirit will finally be able to resume responsibility for guiding Completed Man, Higher Universal Man, H-U-Man, into the Divine Realms. At long last, Spirit and Matter will be able to cooperate in the implementation of Creator's Plan on a New Earth, as it is in the Immutable Heavens.

There is much more to you than you have been told. It is long past time to be about the Remembering.

All Love,

The Ego - A Journey Into Fear III

Continuing with Chapter 2 of "Return of the Bird Tribes" received by Ken Carey.

All emphasis are mine.

Part III

[QUOTING]

Certain tribes among the first humans found the input of their five physical channels of perception so sensationally rich and awesome, that as their early centuries on earth passed, they forgot that perception was also available to them on Intuitive and Imaginative frequencies. Such oversight was significant, for the Imagination and the Intuition were the inner communication devices designed to keep each angelic spirit in close and frequent communication with its human projection during the early stages of bonding.

As these first human tribes placed increasing emphasis on the physical, their behavior came to orient more and more around sensual priorities. As time passed, certain Egos began to assume decision-making authority in realms of Spirit where they as yet had no experience. They began to place such a high value on caring for their bodies, they lost sight of the reason for having bodies at all.

A visible yet disproportionately influential minority of your early ancestors becamse infatuated with sensual input. They behaved with less and less awareness of our consciousness or the informing designs that we brought from the Great Spirit. The bonding that was to occur between Spirit and Ego could not happen in such a state. These Egos came to see our spirits as "foreign" elements. They forgot that Spirit and Ego are two manifestations of the same presence, that each human body is created by the presence of a Spirit Being on the material plane.

In time, the body and its physical priorities became their sole reality.

When a certain tribe began to think of cooperation with us as working with the invisible spirits of non-physical beings (that they could not see with their eyes, but whom they felt landing, like huge birds, in the branches of their central nervous systems), they reacted in fear.

Instead of seeing our lighthearted Spirit values as a profound basis for co-creation with their own durable physical values, the Egos of this tribe began to fear this healthy and quite compatible difference in value systems. They gave exaggerated emphasis to their legitimate function of caring for the physical body and began to see our Spirits as lacking in sufficient respect for the Physical plane. They rejected our spiritual values, seeing them as frivolous and irresponsible. They identified with a piece of the puzzle, with an aspect of their own wholeness. They did not realize that by doing this, they were rejecting their true selves and choosing instead fictitious, mortal identities. They were focusing on the shadows and not upon the Beings of Light who cast them.

Seeing Spirit as separate from themselves, the Egos cut themselves off from the inner direction designed to guide the mulitplication and flourishment of their species on earth. In these tribes, the incarnation of our angelic Spirits was interrupted, the human creation unfinished. Without the Egos' cooperation, the required Spirit/Ego bonding could not take place.

The Ego - A Journey Into Fear II

Continuing with Chapter 2 from Ken Carey's "Return of the Bird Tribes". The chapter is entitled "Carved in Stone". These posts attempt to present a conception of what the "ego" was, is and was meant to be. It is always helpful to have some knowledge of the nature of one's adversary.

Part II

[QUOTING]

To the first biological humans, we communicated this message:

We are your spirits. It is our presence here in this river valley that has called you up out of the soil. You are unfinished, incomplete; you are still not all that you can be. Some of what you now embody represents development in the right direction, but some of what you think of now as yourself is, in actuality, part of what will one day become afterbirth. Let us help you sort this out in yourselves, so that by emphasizing the value of your bodies as dwelling places for the Great Spirit, your minds and hearts will remain open to communion with us. In time, that communion will flow into blending and both you and we will know ourselves as one upon the physical plane. In union, we will know completion.

One specific star of all the myriad stars you see twinkling in your night sky sends its spirit to earth to incarnate in your individual human form. Your ego is designed to help that spirit (who lacks your familiarity with the cooler realms) to remain creatively incarnate here.

Until you have bonded with the star consciousness, you remain unfinished. You do not yet know your own material or spiritual nature. You will in time, But if we are to assist you now in peacefully experiencing this coming age while your species multiplies and fills the earth, you must remember to honor the values of our spirits, just as we honor you and you own material values. In time, these distinctions will dissolve, and we will know ourselves as on; but for now we must tread lightly, extending to one another patience and respect.

The egos of the first incarnate ones welcomed this message. For a time, they were filled with enthusiasm. They genuinely loved us and shared our wish to see the Great Spirit's plan succeed.

However, as the moons of these first seasons passed, willingness to play their parts creatively did not last long among all the incarnate ones.

What happens when an actor who was asked to play a supporting role rebels and tries to play the lead role instead? With no knowledge of the part?

You were there, in the beginning. You might remember.

The Ego - A Journey Into Fear

Going to take a slight detour to post Chapter 2 from Ken Carey's "Return of the Bird Tribes". The chapter is entitled "Carved in Stone". Will post in segments in order to keep the length reasonable .

Part I

[QUOTING]

"...Recalled in the folk traditions of every earth people, we are the Bird Tribes, the Solar Clan, the Children of the Stars. We are the source of all nativity, the way that spirit creativity comes into form in this world and in all higher worlds. Individuated. Intelligent. In spirit-being form, we are the tangible influence of an all-powerful Creator interfacing with a material world.

Releasing our identities in the burst of joy that translated them into light, we flew outward from our source stars, riding waves of light across the sea of space until we reached this world. Each of us came from a different star. Yet our being is the source of every star.

In the early days, our work was to catalyze biological activity in the oceans of this world and to oversee the growth and development of incarnate creatures. We did this both when clothed in physical form and when remaining luminous beings of pure light. Throughout all of earth's early ages, when it was necessary to clothe ourselves in physical form, we did so through a conscious process of materialization, a process that allowed us to draw into our luminous fields, in a very few moments, the atoms and molecules that would dress us in matter.

The forms we assumed during those early ages were of human shape, though lighter and less substantial than the bodies you wear today. The drawback of materialization, however, was that it took much of our energy and attention to maintain the bodies in which we dressed. So, though we had the advantage of physical instruments through which to create, sustaining those instruments was both awkward and distracting. We wanted to devote more of our attention to our creative activities and less to sustaining the bodies through which we were creating.

The solution, of course, was to create physical bodies that were self-sufficient, physical bodies that would have physical identities to care for them -- egos, designed to work intimately with us, both in the maintenance of our human projections and in our continuing work of creation upon the physical plane.

[END QUOTING]

Spirits required material bodies to operate in the material realms. However, they needed the body to basically "run on automatic" so that they could concentrate on the more important work of creating the flora and fauna that would populate the earth. And so, the ego was developed. Its job, its only job, was to serve Spirit by supervising the bodily functions and processes.

This partnership worked well...for a time.

~~ g

Man, Unfinished

Man is not a complete being. Man is more or less a highly-developed animal, superior to most of the creatures in the animal kingdom in almost all ways except one:

... animals have a closer relationship with the Creator, with Divinity, than does man. Animals are innately aware of their connection to the Universal Source. Man wastes energy debating and denying this Truth.

Man is separated from his Creator by his Ego / Personality (e / p). The e/p erroneously believes that man does not need the Creator in order to successfully navigate the world. The e/p tells man that it is all that man needs. And so, Man wanders about in the darkness, blindfolded, and proudly calls his ignorant meanderings the "proper exercise of free will".

Physical man is an incomplete creation. We are like robots whose internal programs are stuck in a loop. Instead of standing still for a moment to allow our programmers to correct our programming, we stumble hither and yon, making a mess of things and calling it "progress".

What is man missing? We are missing the input from our Spirit. We are missing the infusion of the Divine wisdom from beyond this fallen universe that could complete us, if only we would stand still and allow it. However, we have to invite Divinity into our hearts, it cannot and will not invade. If we insist on behaving as if "we are our bodies" and that the physical world is all there is, then we are doomed to countless lives of error and sorrow.

Again, Man without Spirit is little more than an intelligent animal. Think of it this way... if dolphins and elephants had opposable thumbs and could stand on two legs, they would also be able to create great physical civilizations. Being human is really nothing special, physically. What makes humanity special is its POTENTIAL. What makes it special are the forgotten reasons for why Humanity was created.

Humanity was designed to be the physical interface for Spirit to experience and create in the Material Realms. We are the bodies that Spirit has been waiting to unite with. Only through the unification of Spirit and Matter can the purpose and design of the Creator proceed apace. The design was/is for Spirit to handle matters of consciousness and for the Ego / Personality to handle subconscious matters (like breathing, staying alive). Spirit acts out of, and in response to, Love. The e/p acts and reacts only out of Fear, "self"-preservation. Creator was to use these united entities to actively participate in the Material realms.

Ages ago, Man's unfinished egos ran off in fear. Spirit withdrew, leaving the egos to develop on their own. This has symbolically been referred to as "the Fall of Man". Things have only gotten worse since then, as powerful aeonic forces continued to grow and infect Man's psychic atmosphere with more and more things to be Fearful about.

The coming Harvest is about re-uniting (qualified) egos with their corresponding Spirits. It is about an opportunity to either permanently leave this fallen universe or to continue evolving here, but in an environment where Man can be taught the Truth and the Way to Final Liberation without distraction from the Dark Brothers.

To enhance one's ability to qualify for Harvest, one must commit to allowing the Divine Spark within him to grow, and allow the Ego to take a back seat. Live life in such a way as to allow the Christ Consciousness to live through you, instead of doing what the "I" wants to do. Following the "I" will only lead us deeper into ignorance. Inviting Spirit into our affairs will afford us the opportunity to live each moment in Right Thought, Right Action, Right Discrimination.

Surrender the self... "self"-surrender. The Key to the Narrow Path which leads to Liberation.

~~ g

Rising, Glimmering, Fading, Dying, Repeat...

We are told that "the universe is eternal and infinite". If this is the case, then why does everything in this universe eventually decay and perish? Plants, animals, humans, planets, stars, love affairs and so on, are all born in glory, bloom into fullness, gradually lose their strength and beauty, then die.

These things do not fit the definition of "eternal".

–adjective

1. without beginning or end; lasting forever; always existing.
2. perpetual; ceaseless; endless.
3. enduring; immutable.
4. Metaphysics. existing outside all relations of time; not subject to change.

"Well", one may say, "plants return in the Spring!". "Seasons return in their due course. Man spends sometime in the 'hereafter' and then returns to physical life - re-incarnates - in order to pick up his lessons and 'live' again, right?".

These, also, do not conform with the definition of "eternal". In fact, the birth/death/birth/death cycle is probably as far as one can get from eternity. It is more of a horizontal cycle, where one picks up where one left off in a prior physical life. Due to continuing Ignorance, one invariably commits the same errors as in previous lives (or worse) and thus dooms one's self to repeated turns of the wheel. This is what i personally refer to as "The Hamster-Wheel of Birth/Death".

So, despite what the "religionists" say, we do not leave this physical life to go on to our permanent "Great Eternal Reward". We leave this physical world and retire to a temporary astral sphere. A "heaven-world" whose attributes and level of pleasantness depend on the quality and morality of the experiences we gathered in the now-ended physical life. The "better-behaved" one was while incarnate, the more time they will spend in "the summerland" of the higher astral realms. Good times! Those who lived lives of a more selfish and negative bent will spend a bit more time in the lower astral realms purging their souls of their materialistic desires before being allowed into the higher astral regions of this temporary heaven-world. A bit unpleasant, but necessary. In any event, at some point, all must return to the material realm, take up their cross and resume, yet again, the physical trek of sorrow and pain.

If one gives the matter some thought, one can surmise that based on the foregoing, we are not living in an eternal universe. We live in a temporal universe, a universe of change.

Then where is true eternity to be found? And what must one do to get there? Does this "eternal universe" even exist? How does one get off the hamster-wheel?

The Truth Hurts

This post begins with the following world-renowned verbal exchange from the American motion picture "A Few Good Men":

Jessep: You want answers?"

Kaffee: "I think I'm entitled to them!"

Jessep: "You want answers?"

Kaffee: "I want THE TRUTH!"

Jessep: "YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!!!"

Now, a quote concerning Truth from The New Call - Q & A - "The Truth Hurts".

http://www.thenewcall.org/q_a/t2.htm#truth1

[QUOTING]

The energy of Truth is like a sword that pierces the heart. "In order to walk the Path, the blood of the heart must first bathe the feet that walk it." - Theosophy.

The Truth may be "hard-going" for compromised human beings due to the encrusted, crystallized condition of their microcosms, which the light of Truth necessarily breaks up. However, servants of Christ are but tiny acupuncture needles on Earth compared to the torrential Light that is about to enter this world. If humanity is afraid of the messengers of Christ (the 'John the Baptists'), how will they react, do you think, when the filthy, infected astral plane of this world begins to reveal itself to all as the dimensions merge?

If a friend of yours had gotten drunk on a ship that was sinking, would you be concerned about his feelings as you yelled at him to don his life-jacket, or would you just act intelligently in the emergency?

Do you think that human beings who shy away from the Truth given in conceptual form will be able to receive the Truth (Grace) at the Harvest Time?

The Call of Christ in the fallen world has ever doubled both as a Blessing (to those with eyes to see and ears to hear) and a 'sifting tool' (for those who choose to serve duality).

Do you think that Jesus and all the Avatars would have been so successful if they had compromised on their message and Call by making concessions, diluting the Truth, in order to appease the fearful and ignorant?

[END QUOTING]

The next few posts will offer a couple of concepts for consideration and contemplation. How these posts may affect the reader, and what the reader does with this new information will be up to the reader. If the reader is disturbed or agitated by any of what they encounter, it would probably be best for the reader to withdraw from it, as all are not ready to consider re-arranging deeply entrenched thought-processes and belief systems, no matter how erroneous they may be.

If, at any point, the reader finds that the concepts touch him or her in some way, that reader should seriously consider investigating the matter further, on their own.

There is no more time left for lolly-gagging and procrastination. The time of The Great Separation is nearing an end.

The Truth has always been offered to mankind. Mankind, in ignorance, has most often violently turned it away. In these last days, it is being offered to mankind once more. Those who will earnestly seek, resonate with, accept and then selflessly LIVE such truths, will have taken major steps toward extricating themselves from the bogs of illusion that have trapped Humanity in ignorance, sorrow and death for ages upon ages. More importantly, they will increase their chances of being able to take advantage of the tremendous Grace that is being offered to all those who intrepidly embark upon the Path of Return to the True Kingdom.

It is hoped that you will indeed be willing, ready and able to handle a portion of the Truth.

The ALL Is In All

For the next few minutes, you are invited to put aside your earthly religious and/or scientific beliefs. The following is an attempt to offer a bit of clarity on the true nature of God.

Introduction

God is not some great, bearded man of stern countenance who looks down upon "puny humanity" and keeps notes in a little black book. God also does not "take sides" in sporting contests, so athletes the world over should stop pointing up to "heaven" every time they score a goal or a touchdown (by the way, how come athletes never point down to "hell" when they miss a penalty kick or strike out swinging? Just asking, hee-hee!).

In any event, the image of God that we have been indoctrinated to "believe" in over the past few thousands of years is a false one. Belief. That's another thing. To "believe" in God implies that one is not really sure about the matter. One just "believes". Belief is the brother of Hope and the cousin of Faith. None of these are equal to "Knowing", and that is what one's relationship with God should be: to know what God is, without the cartoon special effects. Here's hoping that what follows will offer an opportunity for Knowing.

The ALL

The first hermetic axiom states that "The ALL is in All; All are in The ALL".

God is ALL. Every created and uncreated thing is God. Before matter and spirit manifested, there was God, The ALL. The ALL was at rest. The ALL contained Chaos. The All contained Potential. It wasn't (as we have been told by our myopic and spiritually deficient scientists) that there was a "big bang" and that this universe and others were created out of "nothing". There has always been, and always will be "something". That "something" is The ALL. The ALL is Infinite Intelligence. The ALL is Infinite Consciousness.

When The ALL was ready to rouse from its meditative slumber, it spoke "The Word". Let's think for a moment. What are words? They are formulations of sound...sound is vibration. The ALL vibrated a tone that rippled like waves on a pond. The Tone of Creation. The Creative Word. Chaos was set into motion. Potential was shaken awake. Creation resumed. Not "began", resumed.

Creation

What did The ALL use to "create" with? Did it reach "over there", grab some "Acme Universe Creation Mix" and start working? Did The ALL Fed Ex a shipment of "Galactic Goo" to begin constructing the early galaxies? No. It is impossible for The ALL to create from outside of Itself because there can be nothing outside of The ALL. If there were, then The ALL wouldn't be The ALL, correct?

Therefore, it stands to reason that all created things are created...from...The...ALL.

Every material, every substance, every thought that will ever be needed to create anything is contained, right now, within The ALL. THE ALL CREATES FROM ITSELF.

Now, stay focused, because we are coming to another important point. Let's build on the fact that The ALL creates all things from Its own Infinite and Unlimited Consciousness. This Infinite and Unlimited Consciousness infuses every portion of The ALL. This means that every atom, quark, etc., right down to the tiniest unit of "stuff" existing in all Universes contains that Infinite and Unlimited Consciousness.

As such, it should be evident that everything in Visible and Invisible Creation, manifest or un-manifest must contain portions of The ALL. This is the true meaning of "God is Everywhere". From pebble to mountain, from moss to redwood, from insect to elephant, these creations are The ALL, because these creations contain the Infinite and Unlimited Consciousness of God, The ALL.

A rock is God experiencing Creation as a rock.
A Star is God experiencing Creation as a Star.
A dung heap is God experiencing Creation as a dung heap.
A Human Being is...(go ahead, you finish it)

This is the Number One reason why the wise have always advised us to treat and see others as ourselves - because in essence, they are us. There ARE no "others". We all emanate from the same ALL, we are all the projections of Its mighty Infinite and Unlimited Consciousness. Ultimately, we are all One.

We are individual sparks, differentiated portions of the One, Undifferentiated ALL. Physically, our spiritual and material vehicles are composed of "God-stuff" which contains the potential of accessing the Infinite and Unlimited Consciousness of The ALL.

This is the reason why the not-so-wise will foolishly and erroneously utter "I am GOD!". One should be cautious of such faulty reasoning. If a human walks in front of a moving train, he will still experience an uncomfortable demise, "Godhood" notwithstanding. Remember, The ALL is experiencing Itself, in different realms of various states of matter. These realms have their Laws which must be understood and respected.

The ALL has, through many trillions of years, differentiated, or involved Itself down through countless formations of matter, from subtle to gross. We human egos occupy the lowest rung on the ladder, the dense material plane. This material existence represents the low point of the current Involutionary process, where Creator's Spirit involved itself into the lower vibratory realms. We are now about to embark upon our upward Evolutionary phase, but let's not jump the gun. We'll leave that for a future discussion.

Conclusion

It is hoped that the foregoing will be given serious contemplation. If one approaches the matter with Simplicity, an open Heart and an open Mind, then confusion about just what God "is" should vanish like a vapor in the wind.

Look around you. There is God.
Look in the mirror. There, too, is God.
Look within you. God waves hello.

May you be blessed with eyes to See.

All Love,

The Great Day of Purification

For humanity, for these times:

-- From Return of the Bird Tribes - Ken Carey, 1988

[QUOTING]

def: Great Day of Purification -- period during which the earth is purified, fear and love separated in human consciousness. Mayan: the period of time from 1987 to 2011. Christian: the Last Judgment. Final cycle in the healing of humankind, culminating with the Earth's awakening as a single being and the Creator's awakening in human consciousness.

Listen, O humans of this present world; listen as the sparrow listens for her lover's call on the breeze. We are speaking to you in your dreams, in snatches of song heard in passing, from the mouths of children, from these pages; but more than this, we are speaking to you from the center of your innermost being. Hear us, and remember yourselves.

We return to human consciousness, bringing a time of new creation and the information required for humans to understand the changing conditions of the age. We are here to merge, to blend with your human egos, to help your race become the central guidance system of a vast new being. We are here to help the Great Spirit incarnate in the people of the four races (BG: black, white, red and yellow).

We have come to initiate the most joyous age this earth has ever known: a thousand-year period of earth healing and renewed harmony that will see the four-legged flourish, the two-legged awaken, the rivers run pure and humankind in conscious exchange with the stars.

And after this millenium has in turning season passed, you - a new being of translucent biology - will depart for the vast uncharted ocean of the Milky Way to give the freedom of the Thunderbird's flight as a gift to every star and every world. In multiplication of love affairs that will go on until the end of time, you and your race will seed the galaxies with intelligent, biological life.

The potential of this universe is limitless. Her revelations of potential are infinite beyond number. But there are no star wars or fearsome civilizations beyond your own; because if civilizations are fearsome, they do not advance beyond your own. They become extinct, to rise up in the soils of another world, a little wiser, until they learn.

The Great Day of Purification has begun, a short but essential cycle of division that will gather those who promote fear and violence and separate them from the season of the world as chaff is separated from the wheat at threshing.

During these next two and a half decades (BG: this was written circa 1988), humankind will experience this separation, a transformation in human consciousness more fundamental than the development of language, more significant than the shift to agriculture, more meaningful than any historical revolution.

A new era is dawning.

End of Part One

[END QUOTING]

To all who read these words, look up. Clear your minds of fear, open your hearts in Love. Despite the efforts of the material world to discredit them, the prophecies are true, they have always been true! A portion of Humanity is about to embark on an incredible Journey into a New Age. Hold fast! Do not allow your ego to lead you into temptation during these final days.

Something so incredible, so wonderful, and so amazingly fantasamagorical (is that a word?) is just around the corner and awaits all those who live their lives in Kindness, Caring, Unselfish Giving and Love.

Perseverance will be rewarded. You will not be disappointed.

The Meek shall indeed Inherit the (New) Earth.

We've discussed Archons and Aeons (posts of 11/19/09, 11/20/09 and 11/23/09), the entities that bombard humans with scores of different impulses in order to feed themselves off of the low-vibration ethers we emit with our negative actions. We learned that our thoughts are ltierally not our own.

But what of good thoughts? Surely, our thoughts to "do good" must be generated by us, right?

[QUOTING]

There are invisible, unholy forces surrounding the Earth and the human mind, which impose a constant pressure upon man. Perpetually and without respite these forces seek to pull his consciousness into one or the other poles of duality's illusion: good or bad, to lock him into a position of some kind: left or right. And it is through the constant activity of these forces and the pressure that they impose upon the whole world and mankind that the vast majority of souls on Earth are being manipulated and deceived. These forces are as intelligent as they are pervasive throughout this world, and they work to deter man from seeing the truth of our planetary situation or from accessing any higher reality or consciousness; they are also long-practised at leeching psychic food from humanity and in engineering world and local events to secure the perpetuation of the food-manufacturing process.

This food is energy in the form of ethers that range from the grossest qualities of psychic energy, which are produced by emotions such as fear, greed and hatred, to the more refined ether-bleedings that are precipitated by way of the higher human sentiments, personality affectations and more noble worldly endeavours.

For ages on Earth these forces have been ceaselessly at work, and today in this time of the end of a major world cycle (and the end of their tyrannical reign over mankind) they are particularly voracious in their efforts to mislead humanity and to bring about the production of ever-increasing amounts of psychic food. Such efforts certainly extend into the spiritual arena, and often it is the case that people give away their energy and a part of their consciousness to certain spiritual beings and distorted teachings that appeal, however subtly, to the ego-self. Therefore it is clear why the serious spiritual aspirant must become aware of such forces if he is to successfully find and tread the path that leads to liberation from all delusion and invisible vampirism.

However, there is in effect all throughout the world another kind of vampirism, one that remains entirely unknown to the majority of even spiritually disposed individuals and groups that, unconsciously and often with the best of intentions, provide its psychic food. This kind of hardly-known vampirism is perpetrated by light-forces or light-spirits, and unlike the more sinister forces, which most people possessing some occult understanding and sagacity may easily apprehend, these light-spirits manipulate humanity in a much more subtle and less apparent manner.

They work from the positive side of duality's spectrum, the lighter side, where they move through and manipulate many individuals' cherished ideas about positive thinking, world healing, personal happiness and 'good' works. And while for many people such ideas may seem noble and worthy, they most often encourage a personal agenda, and so lead the soul deeper into the delusion of the separate self.

This bears serious contemplation. This world of duality is not what it appears to be. Once we take steps to learn how life in this fallen universe really works, we will begin to dispel our fears and can start living our lives from a standpoint of gnosis, true knowledge - not superstition and flawed human knowledge.

All Love,

Fear Fly Away

The Opposite of Fear... is Love.

Fear is what keeps us in chains. The shame of it is that all fear is an illusion. We rest in the bosom of The Creator...there is nothing for us to fear!

Stop giving in to your fears, whatever they may be.

Release them. Replace all fearful thoughts with thoughts of Love.

A powerful cosmic Energy has returned to this planet. It is here to help those who ask for help. It can Help, it can Heal, it can Cleanse. It is a hand extended to help us across the Threshold to a New World.

Ask The Christos to touch your heart. Then put your ego aside and let it work its magic.

Fear Fly Away.
