Sobriety

"People sometimes say to us: "Alas, who am i? What can I do? I am only a ..." and then follows one or another commonplace description. If you talk like that, you will remain as you always have been."

From "The Imitation of Christ" - The Egyptian Arch-Gnosis, Vol. II - Jan van Rijckenborgh

Don't sell yourself short. You know that something is wrong with the world. You know the feeling of being imprisoned by evil, of being strapped to an imaginary chair with your eyes propped open, forced to watch the horrors of this world repeat themselves over and over and over, like a bad movie.

Deep within, you know that the only way out is to escape, to leave this world once and for all. Not via natural death, nor by one's own hand. Those options will only lead you to the reflection-sphere, where you will hang out for a while before returning to earth for more of the same. The escape that beckons you is discussed here incessantly. There is only one way out, and that is the Path of Return.

But when you hear things like "I-demolition", "erasing the personality", or that there is an "Other One" within you that must increase as your "I" decreases, you get fearful, you feel afraid. Why? Because your "I" does not want to be "erased". It is perfectly happy living in this cesspool. It can't get enough of the swill! So it creates a deep unspoken fear within that paralyzes you. You are afraid to move, afraid to take that Next Step, that One Step.

At the end of every Day of Manifestation, the Logos always extends to all those who are imprisoned, the keys to the cell-block, as it were. Messengers are sent forth to herald the Good News. Their mission is to spread the word to a skeptical and unbelieving humanity that there is a way to escape this madness that we foolishly created for ourselves. But you must gain insight. You must have discernment. You must have a deep yearning to be free of this world. You must have an Inner Knowing, a Remembrance, in order to accept that The Process will work, and that you are finally hearing the Truth.

The Dark Brothers are cunning to the extreme. They have clouded and distorted the spiritual landscape so much that humans no longer know what to believe. Apathy follows, then hedonism.

Again, don't sell yourself short. Awaken from this drunken stupor. You are being called Home. Do not discount the Great Gift that the Messengers are bringing to you as this cycle stumbles to a close and do not think yourself unworthy. By virtue of your long ages of suffering, you are eminently worthy of Salvation.

No more false alarms. No more fire drills.

This is it.

"Where are you hurrying, O men, You whose minds are clouded because you are drunk with the word that lacks all Gnosis, the word of absolute ignorance that does not agree with you 

and that you will vomit in the end?

Stop and become sober: see again with the eyes of your Heart! And if not all of you can do so, let those at least who can. 

...do not allow yourselves to be carried along by the violence of the stream, but let those among you who are able to reach the Harbors of Salvation make use of the counter-current to put to port.

Look for Him who will take you by the hand and lead you to the gates of the Gnosis, where the clear Light shines in which there is no Darkness; where no one is drunk, but all are sober, and look up with their Hearts to Him who wishes to be known."

The Third Way (One Flew Over)

There are three roads that can lead one to Final Liberation from matter:

The First Way: 

Live your life as a nature-born human-being. Focus and restrict your striving to the aims of the material world. Seek no further, and if you do seek seek on the horizontal plane, allow human "authorities" such as the churches of the established religions, their priests, pastors, imans, monks and gurus to interpret the holy language for you and stand as sole intermediaries between you and God, a privilege for which you will have to pay for, of course.

Live only to obtain human goals, (i.e., get rich or die trying) and hope for the best in some fantasy after-life that has been brainwashed into you by those church authorities.

Die and head for the reflection-sphere, the temporary heaven-worlds, where your remaining subtle bodies will eventually dissolve, forcing your microcosm to generate yet another new personality to send into the world in search of The Pearl of Great Price. Repeat this process over and over again, for long ages of time.

It will take long ages of time and many Rebirths, but you will eventually find The Third Way.

The Second Way:

Live your life as a nature-born human-being. Expand your striving to include the occult world. The word "occult" means " hidden". Study the invisible worlds, the ways of the reflection-sphere, astrological correspondences, magnetic healing, etc. White magic, black magic, ascended masters and grandmasters. Learn how to 'split the personality' so that you can travel in the reflection-sphere fully conscious. Learn all there is to know about the invisible realms, its levels and hierarchies. Learn how to live an after-death experience in the reflection-sphere that will enable you to retain the use of your astral and mental bodies for thousands and thousands of years, thereby avoiding dissolution of the subtle bodies and illegally prolonging your stay in the heaven-worlds. Learn the artificial methods used by those with occult training to avoid reincarnating on earth.

You become a light-spirit, or perhaps a black magician. Yes, you are free of The Wheel, but you become a parasite, having to resort to siphoning the astral energy of physical human-beings on earth in order to maintain your form in the reflection-sphere. In essence, you have become an aeon yourself. For you, death of the personality has only been delayed.

It will take many long eternities, but if you can reject reflection-sphere life, you may eventually find The Third Way.

The Third Way:

You've lived many lives as a nature-born human-being. You're struck with the urge to seek "something higher". You try the churches. Hypocrisy and falsehoods. You study the occult path. If you're observant, you realize that the occult path does not offer a true liberation. Empty-handed, you continue to search. Theosophy, New Age, channeled teachings, extra-terrestrial messages. All fragments, all a confusing maze of 'truth'. Who can we trust to provide us with the 'truth'? What doctrine can satisfy our desperate seeking? In frustration you throw up your hands and resign yourself to a pointless existence on a pointless world. A helpless puppet in the hands of Fate, doomed to forever chase a 'truth' that must exist but appears to have been purposely hidden from you.

The First and Second Ways have failed you. Thankfully, there is a Third Way:

You leave behind the temporary things of the material-world. You leave behind the false promises of the reflection-sphere. You learn that there is a Divine Realm that exists apart from the physical realm. You learn that you carry a Divine Spark within your microcosm which contains great powers, powers that are still linked to the Divine Realm. This Divine Atom lies sleeping, waiting for the right personality to come along and awaken it.

Once awakened, the True Man will slowly begin to emerge. A Divine Personality will gradually re-assert its control over the microcosm. The broken link with Spirit will be repaired. You learn that for the candidate walking the Path of Return, physical death will lead  not to the reflection-sphere but to Shamballa, where the candidate will complete the mighty process of Transfiguration, in peace, among brothers.

You learn that "finding the Truth" involves taking leave of a world that you can see, in order to become part of a World that you cannot see...yet.

Congratulations. You have found The Third Way.

Wire, briar, limber, lock,

One flew West,

Knowledge Of The Things That Are

I. As it is Below, so it is Above; As on the Earth, so in the Sky.

II. There are two states of being: one is Mortal, the other is Immortal.

III. That which is Mortal is dissolvable, and dissolvable bodies pass away like a mist in the morning. 
IV. An Immortal body is an Essence which is Eternal and Incorruptible.

V. But the two, the Mortal and the Immortal, cannot exist together forever, but each returns to the place from where it comes.

VI. The Mortal body is Sensible, but the Immortal is Reasonable.

VII.The former contains nothing that is Perfect. The latter, nothing that is Imperfect; for the one is the essence of Matter, and the other the essence of Spirit, and Man, the Microcosm, holds the Balance of the two.

VIII. And there is a fierce warfare for the victory, between the Lower and the Upper, as they both desire to obtain the Body as their Prize; for the state of Man is envied by the Lower and glorified as a noble state by the Higher.

IX. Now if the Man inclines toward the Lower nature, which is Mortal, he thereby aids the Lower Imperfect powers to oppose the Higher, which is Immortal, and must suffer the pains of Slavery for his disobedience to the Workman, his Maker. But if he inclines to the Higher, then he is truly Wise and Blessed.

X. Should Man, after being attracted by the Vanities of the World and then, after obtaining knowledge of the Things That Are, return to the Vanities of the World, he will be punished with Torments and Fire in the darkest states of disembodied souls.

XI. Should a Man, after knowing the Things That Are, become rebellious of restraint to the part which is Immortal and returns to the Vanities of the World, the Higher Essence will straightaway depart from him, and he will become the Slave of the Lower Essence, which will seize upon him and drive him to all sorts of Wicked Arts and Evil Ways.

XII. When Man has thus impiously disobeyed his Creator and turned his face away from That Which Is Immortal, behold, he is then disinherited from his Birthright, and is no longer counted among the Children of God, because he has become an Evil, Perverse thing, possessing only those things which are Mortal, and he is punished with Death.

XIII. And so Death is meted out to all those who rebel against their Creator impiously, because they know the Things That Are. But to those foolish Souls who are Ignorant, and who have not knowingly rejected their Creator, behold, they are purified after much suffering, and are sent to the World again.

-- Hermes Trismegistus

Forgiveness And The Grace Of An Age

The below is quoted from Heavy Karmic Baggage:

"Of course, it is nearly impossible to expunge thousands of years of Karmic debt in one short human lifetime of 72 (on average) years. This is especially true when we are kept in ignorance and as a result continue to pile even more negative karma atop the heavy baggage that the microcosm already carries. This too, is seen as an injustice. But it is an injustice of our own making.

Fortunately, there is a way out. Even more fortunately, you are living in a time when the way out is being revealed to all mankind. This doesn't mean that all of mankind will accept the revelation, it simply means that the way out is being revealed so that all may have the opportunity to freely choose whether to abandon their ways and take advantage of That Which Is Being Offered.

The way out is Forgiveness. An attempt will be made to explain this in the next post."

How can we, as personalities, as projections of the microcosm, hope to eradicate the accumulated karma of our microcosm in the few short decades of life that are granted to us? Karma that has been accumulated over many thousands of years of periodic incarnations of different personalities?

The personality must locate the Path of Return, then follow it as a Golden Thread that will lead one out of the dialectical nature-born realm forever. It is this Path that the Christ Radiation* was referring to when it stated, through the man Jesus, that: "I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life".

* Never forget that the term 'Christ' refers not to a man who lived two thousand years ago, but to a mighty cosmic radiation, the Love Aspect of the Father. Any human-being who can accept, assimilate and radiate this divine vibration can become a 'Christ'. Jesus, the man, did so and lived His life as an example to all who were to come that "You shall do as I have done; yea, greater things than these you shall do".


We are currently riding the never-ending wheel of death and rebirth. There are a couple of key reasons why we continue to return to earth-life after a brief post-death journey in the reflection-sphere (the so-called 'after-life').

Desire
Karma

In brief, Desire means that the microcosm retains an urge to generate a new personality to return and experience earth-life once more. In short, the microcosm is enjoying (for lack of a better word) the experience of the lower vibrational existence and seeks to continue that experience.

Karma, as we have discussed, is the accumulation of unresolved Effects that have resulted from Causes that we, as past personalities, have put into motion. Because all Karma must be balanced on the plane upon which it was incurred, the microcosm is bound by this Cosmic law to generate a new personality to return to earth-life and take up the task.

As previously mentioned, this task is an immense one, and for all practical purposes, impossible to complete within the constraint of a single earth-life. However, there is a way.

When humanity "fell" into matter-born existence, the Logos, in line with the wishes of The All, also sent Divine emissaries to accompany fallen humanity into the Seventh Cosmic Domain. These Divine Beings carried with them the wisdom of the Gnosis, the Keys that humanity would need in order to find its way out of darkness and back to the Lighted Realms of the Sixth Cosmic Domain. Throughout innumerable ages, we're talking many hundreds of millions of years, these Divine guardians have worked tirelessly to help mankind find the Path that leads out of this Pit of Despair.

Along the way, there have been successes, there have been failures. Individuals who manage to locate the Path and who follow it to 'The Good End' are triumphantly lifted out of the Seventh, their accumulated karma is erased - and they are released from any future obligation to ride The Wheel. They disappear from the Physical Realm, never to be seen again by physical eyes.

Because of this, there is no concrete evidence left behind that documents the success of these successful Seekers. They have transfigured, and can no longer be viewed by physical eyes. As a result, humanity, which for the large part refuses to believe in the reality of anything which they cannot see with their physical eyes or touch with their physical hands, dismisses all notions of man's ability to be reborn in a Higher form. Remember the incredulous words of Nicodemus, not understanding due to ignorance of the facts: "Lord, how can a man be born again? Can he crawl back into his mother's womb?".

A brief word about 'ignorance'. To be ignorant does not mean the same as being stupid. Ignorance is when one errs due to the fact that one does not know better. 'Stupidity' is the act of erring despite knowing better. Nicodemus was a very learned man - in the ways of the world. However, he was ignorant of the Higher truths, he did not have Gnosis.

Periodically, the Logos grants all of humanity the opportunity to seize the gift of Gnosis and to make this transition collectively, as a group. These periods can be classified as major or minor cycles. It is at the end of such cycles that this Grace is extended to mankind. We are presently in the throes of such a period, by which mankind is being offered the Grace of an Age.

An Age is a period of time corresponding to the number of years that it takes for the Sun to transit one of the signs of the zodiac. It takes 2,160 years to pass through one sign of the zodiac. It takes 25,920 earth years to pass through all twelve signs. When Jesus, the man, walked the earth, it was the Age of Pisces, hence the many symbolic references to fish during his sojourn. Prior to his appearance, the holy language speaks of prior Ages using symbolism such as lambs (Aries), bulls (Taurus), twins (Gemini), etc. When it speaks of Aquarius, it refers to a 'Man with an Urn', as in:

"Behold, when ye are entered into the city, there shall a man meet you, bearing a pitcher of water. Follow him into the house where he entereth in." Luke 22:10

Follow him, indeed. The Man with the Pitcher of Water is Aquarius, which is pouring out over all of mankind the astral energies required by Man to recognize the times that we are in and to take the steps necessary to maximize our progress, to make our escape, as it were.

These Divine energies do not discriminate. They are radiated over all humanity and permeate all humanity. Those who react negatively can be easily identified by their actions. Why do you think there is so much error, violence and malice in the world today? It is because the Christine Radiations are not being well-received by some. Instead of moving towards Gnosis, they are repelled further into darkness. This is due to the rock-hard "I-centrality" of their microcosms.

Those who are receptive are given the help they need, as much as they need, when they need it, in order to guide them safely Home. Many are not even aware of what is taking place. They simply notice that they are 'changing'. Those who are aware of what is taking place have an obligation to spread the word, in the hope that sleeping brethren might awaken in time to take action.

This is why the holy language states that during the end times, "the sheep shall be separated from the goats". There will be two camps, those who are with the Gnosis, and those who are without Gnosis. There will be no in-between, no half-stepping. EACH MUST CHOOSE.

To summarize, in order to return to the Divine Sixth, all of the microcosm's earth karma must be eradicated. The microcosm itself must be purified. The Logos is completely aware of this and periodically offers mankind a "Get Out Of Jail Free" card, which is the Gnosis. All you have to do is resolve to make a fundamental reversal, turn your back on the things of this world, and dedicate your remaining days to doing that which must be done to return to the Divine Kingdom.

If you 'die' in the midst of this striving, you will not be forsaken. Because the fundamental vibration of your microcosm will have been elevated beyond a certain degree, you will be eligible to bypass the reflection-sphere (the fake heaven-world) and proceed instead to Shamballa, where you will complete The Great Work.

Those who are engaged in this process of microcosmic transmutation and are in the body when 'The End' comes, will be transformed, on the spot.

The key is to START NOW. You must begin the Process in order to benefit from the Process. Do not delay or put it off for tomorrow. There is no tomorrow. There is only Now. The natural world is luring mankind to sleep in order to lead him away from the Light. The aeons of this nature are completely within their rights to offer you this Grand Deception. It is you who must clear the crud from your eyes and see the deception for what it truly is. It is you must reject the World. It is you must make the fundamental reversal in your thinking, willing and desiring. The Choice is yours alone. No one can force you to make this change.

Once again, the Grace of an Age is being offered to all of humanity. Complete and permanent Forgiveness is at hand. May you be granted the wisdom to recognize the Glory of this Moment, and to accept the Loving Invitation that is being offered to us all.

Heavy Karmic Baggage

The question below was posed by a reader in the Comments section of "How Can God Have A Son?".

"I still have a problem in seeing that we return to earth because someone in the distant past ran up a huge karmic debt and the present human being in the microcosm has to pay it off!"

Understood. Let's try to eliminate the confusion.

That "someone in the distant past" was you. All of the "someone's" who have previously inhabited your microcosm were you. Man is a microcosm. You can think of the microcosm as a container. This container houses all of the accumulated force-centers, powers, attributes, experiences, karma and destiny of the entity. The microcosm is permanent, immortal. The personalities that it generates to experience life in the material world are temporary, mortal, finite.

It is the microcosm that is the individuality, not the personality.

The personality is a creation of the microcosm, sent forth into the material world to gather experience, knowledge and wisdom for the benefit of the microcosm. When the personality expires, the physical body disintegrates, the soul-bodies return to the reflection-sphere where they also dissolve, albeit more slowly, over time. At some future point (it may take hundreds of years), there will be nothing left of the personality that was you on this earth in 2017. The microcosm will have been emptied, as it were. The experiences gathered by that most recent dissolved personality will remain with the microcosm, where it will contribute to the overall advancement or deterioration of that entity. Another drop of water will be added to an ocean of water.

Understand that you are not 'separate' from all the previous personalities that have inhabited your microcosm. All of those personalities were/are you. When we say 'you', we mean the individuality, the microcosmic consciousness. It is like being an actor in a stage company. For one production, you will play Hamlet. When that production closes, you play Mary, Queen of Scots in the next. When that production closes, you will play a coal-miner from West Virginia. When that production closes, you will play a slave-owner, and so on. The stage remains the same. The roles played in each production change. All of the roles were different, but the actor behind those roles was the same individual.

The Karma that has been accumulated by the previous personalities in the microcosm automatically becomes the share of each new personality upon rebirth. Many look at the foregoing and think that it is patently unfair. "What have I done to deserve this burden? Why must I pay for what 'others' have done before me?". Why? Because you were those "others". The accumulated Karma is your microcosmic karma, generated over thousands of years of death and rebirth.

Of course, it is nearly impossible to expunge thousands of years of Karmic debt in one short human lifetime of 72 (on average) years. This is especially true when we are kept in ignorance and as a result continue to pile even more negative karma atop the heavy baggage that the microcosm already carries. This too, is seen as an injustice. But it is an injustice of our own making.

Fortunately, there is a way out. Even more fortunately, you are living in a time when the way out is being revealed to all mankind. This doesn't mean that all of mankind will accept the revelation, it simply means that the way out is being revealed so that all may have the opportunity to freely choose whether to abandon their ways and take advantage of That Which Is Being Offered.

The way out is Forgiveness. An attempt will be made to explain this in the next post.

In the interim, please take a few minutes to read the short story contained in the link to the 2015 post below. It may help to further illustrate what has just been written.

"The Scales Shall Be Balanced, The Debt Shall Be Paid"

"How Can God Have A Son?"

This past week, the following conversation was overheard.

A Muslim was trying to understand the import behind the Christian celebration of Easter. As he learned more, he spoke of what his faith had taught him: That Jesus was a normal human-being. That Jesus was "just" a prophet. That Mohammed was and is the "true" and "last" prophet.

In a matter-of-fact manner, he uttered the following: "We do not believe that Jesus was the Son of God. How can God have a Son? He's God! Who would He mate with?", etc., etc.

It was difficult to not jump in at this point. However, there is no point in presenting the gnostic point-of-view to those who are bound by nature-religions. Nothing good can come out of such conversations. Confrontation is probably the most likely outcome.

So it will be undertaken here to try and resolve the paradox for our Muslim friend.

First, one must cease to think of God as a human-type figure. The veritable "old man with a beard" who lives in the sky does not exist. God, the Creator, the Divine Architect, the All-In-All has no beginning and no end. Although formless, the All contains the potentiality for all forms. The All has no Creator. The All creates from Itself. The entire visible Universe is an emanation of the All, Who permeates the entire Creation yet simultaneously stands apart from it.

What is a "son"? The common response is that the son is the male offspring of a man and a woman. When the term is used in reference to the Second Aspect of the Trinity, it is referring not to a human offspring, but to an emanation of Energy, a Divine Vibration, sent forth from the All in order to accomplish a particular purpose in Creation. As reflected in humanity, most sons are like their fathers. This reflection mimics the example set by the Divine Father and the Divine Son.

In the current Age, the Son of the Father is called "The Christ". The Christ is not a man but a Divine radiation or vibration. It carries all of the attributes of the Father, as a Son should.

Jesus the human-being, walked the Path of Return while on this earth in order to bring this Divine Energy back to the planet. The churches refer to him as "Jesus Christ", similar to "John Smith" or Anna Jackson". But Christ was never Jesus' last name. The addition of the word "Christ" to the name "Jesus" simply meant that Jesus had accepted this Divine Energy into His microcosm. He was the Christed One.

So, the "Son" of God is not a physical human-being, this is true. But God, the Father of All, does have a "Son", the energy of which permeates the entire Creation. This 'Son" is the only such emanation, hence the title "only-begotten". The All needs no partner to mate with. The All creates from Itself.

Our Muslim friend will wrestle with this question for the remainder of his incarnation. Hopefully, having read the foregoing, you won't have to.

Resurrection Day

The Feast of the Resurrection (a.k.a. "Easter") has an important esoteric meaning for the candidate on the Path. It represents the culmination of the efforts made to complete the endura, the effacement of the nature-born personality.

The true meaning of the church feast-days have been lost to the ravages of time and deceit. The truths that support them have been buried beneath an opaque veneer of disingenuous church story-telling. Give the flock fairy-tales, let them wonder about the rest. Lie to them and tell them that they must have "faith" that the fairy-tales told to them by their priests have value.

Time for some Truth.

Christmas (opening of the Rosebud): the Divine Spark is awakened in the Cave of the Heart. The Babe is born.

Baptism at the Jordan (Birth of the Soul-Man) Spirit descends "like a dove", to begin the transmutation process within the microcosm.

Lent (the Endura, Self-Surrender): the candidate renounces the things of nature and vows to walk the Path in self-surrender. 

Good Friday (the Crucifixion, Transmutation): via the process of transmutation, the candidate "hangs up" the material body upon the Cross of Matter

Easter Sunday (the Resurrection, Transfiguration): the candidate is transfigured, reborn as a New Man - Spirit, Soul and Body, the Whole Tri-Unity, reunited.

There. Easily recognizable when one has the Gnostic Key in hand.

Many other religions have similar sequences. That is because most religions spring from the same fount. However, due to the manipulations of those whose goal it is to control humanity by withholding from us the reality of the gnostic Path of Return, the core truths of all religions have been fragmented, polluted and corrupted beyond recognition,

The signs of our Great Goal are present all around us. We have but to wipe the mud from our eyes, open them, and see.

He Is Risen (Re-post)

The following is re-posted once again, in remembrance of  Easter and of The Resurrection that must take place within all of us ~ g

[QUOTING]

Let us pose the obvious question, the one logical problem:

'How can the fallen human-being become a god again? How can the prodigal son Thotmes return home?'

This problem and its solution is given in every Universal Philosophy: we are humans who are to become gods. The Great Messengers of humanity were gods who became human in order to show humans how to become gods.

If this problem stands clearly before you, you will know it was born 'in conflict', and that the road to it was toil and trouble. Like Prince Thotmes, you have to excavate your Sphinx, which will pose a great problem to you personally. If you neglect your Work for one moment, you will sink back into the bottomless depths of this nature. Then you will feel at one with this world, and you will become accustomed to it again. You must understand that for the defeated soul the question: 'How does the fallen human become a god again?' will develop enough motivation to be able to go the Path as a pilgrim to seek an answer the that question.

Hence we can say: Whoever has seen the Sphinx will enter the Pyramid.

The Pyramid is a temple of resurrection and not of worship. It is a temple not for symbolic acts but for instruction. It is a sepulchre. People can create a lot of mystification about it, but as the Pyramid is hewn in stone its essential language cannot be destroyed.

In our opinion everyone who has seen the Sphinx from within and everyone to whom the Sphinx has spoken, like Prince Thotmes, will be able to understand the stone language of the Pyramid. We say that the Sphinx makes the Call and that the Pyramid points out the Path.

From "The Mystery of the Sphinx and the Pyramid" - The Living Word - Catharose de Petri

[END QUOTING]

The ancients speak to us in symbols. Once you have the gnostic Key in hand, it is like reading an open book.

The Great Pyramid is a four-sided triangle, with a square base. Around the base one can draw a perfect circle. Triangle, Square, Circle.

These shapes have symbolic meaning:

Circle = the Eternal Spirit
Triangle = the Threefold Soul
Square = the fourfold Body

Thus the Pyramid itself represents the reunification of Spirit, Soul and Body, which is the ultimate aim of the transfiguristic Path of Return.

The interior of the Pyramid is constructed in such a way as to outline the steps of this Path using specific measurements, angles, different types of stone and sacred numerology (gematria). The exalted beings who constructed the Great Pyramid did so using a silent, common language that could speak to all human-beings, no matter what the time period. Of course, those human-beings would have to have the gnostic Key in hand.

During the time of the ancients, there were very, very few who were motivated to walk the Path of Return. Around the ancient world, those who showed that they were sincere about doing so were brought to secret places of initiation. This was the purpose of the Mayan and Aztec temples in the West. This was the purpose of the extensive system of caves in the Sabarthes region of southern France. This was the purpose of the Great Pyramid.

The Pyramid is not a tomb, as present-day bumbling archaeology chooses to define it. No physical human-being was ever buried there. It was a tomb for the I-being. It was where a true pupil was taken to complete the endura. It was where the old human-being died as to this nature and the New Man rose in its place.

That is why the "tomb" in the King's Chamber is empty. In silence, it expresses what was written regarding the Christed One on the day of His resurrection as a Divine Human Being:

"Why do you look for the Living among the dead? He is not here, He is risen". Luke 24:5-6

No Less Miraculous, No Less Attainable

We keep coming back to the caterpillar, as its metamorphosis into a butterfly serves as a fitting allegory for what man can and must do. The butterfly was created for the express purpose of inspiring wonder in the minds of men, in the hope that someday, men would move beyond wonder, and realize that the miracle of the butterfly is an example of the miracle that awaits all spirit-spark entities.

If the Creator can program a caterpillar to spin a chrysalis, dissolve within it and then reconstitute itself as a beautiful winged creature, what makes you think that the Creator would not program us, mankind, Creator's highest creation, to do something not only similar but exceedingly wondrous and glorious in its magnitude!

You have within you the tiny Seed Atom that is required to make this human metamorphosis a reality. It lies at the center of your microcosm and it is waiting to be awakened and joined to the personality. It is your Divine Spark, the Spirit-spark, the Rosebud, the Jewel in the Lotus. It is the part of you that will manage your transfiguration into a New Man/Woman, but only if you follow the Path that has been set out for man to follow, the Path of the True Way, the Path that leads away from this world and its reflection-sphere. The Path that leads back to Eternity.

Do not sell yourself short. Do not resign yourself to "impossibility". This transformation is eminently possible, and within your ability to complete, even though the rulers of this world have worked overtime to keep that Knowledge from you. Vow to follow the Path, no matter the obstacles. Renounce the world and all the matter therein. Be in the world, but not of the world. Remember the miraculous example of the caterpillar / butterfly that was provided for you to emulate.

What lies ahead for the candidate on the Path is No Less Miraculous, and No Less Attainable.

"Verily, I say to you, the works that I do, you shall do also; and greater works than these shall you do" -- The Christ, talking to YOU.

The Warrior

[QUOTING]

1. Stand aside in the coming battle, and though thou fightest, be not thou the warrior.

2. Look for the Warrior and let him fight in thee.

3. Take his orders for battle and obey them.

4. Obey him, not as though he were a general, but as though he were yourself, and his spoken words were the utterance of your secret desire; for he is yourself, yet infinitely wiser and stronger than yourself. Look for him, else in the fever and hurry of the fight you may pass him, and he will not know you unless you know him. If your cry reaches his listening ear, then he will fight in you and fill the dull void within. And if this is so, then you can go through the fight cool and unwearied, standing aside and letting him battle for you. Then it will be impossible for you to strike one blow amiss.

But if you do not look for him, if you pass him by, then there is no safeguard for you. Your brain will reel, your heart grow uncertain, and in the dust of the battlefield your sight and senses will fail, and you will not know your friends from your enemies.

He is yourself, yet you are but finite and liable to error. He is Eternal and sure. He is Eternal Truth. When once he has entered you and become your Warrior, he will never utterly desert you, and at the Day of Great Peace, he will become One with you.

From Light On The Path - Part Two - Mabel Collins

[END QUOTING]

Who is the Warrior? The Warrior is the Other One, the True Inner Man that is rising to wakefulness with the opening of the Rose of the Heart.

As we walk the Path, we will encounter obstacles with every step. If we try to fight these obstacles with our "I", we will most likely fail. Remember, the "I" cannot kill the "I". Therefore, whatever battles are to be fought , whatever obstacles have to be overcome, the "I" must  stand aside and allow the Other One within to wield the sword.

This is the epitome of self-surrender. The road we are walking, we do not walk alone. The trials we must face, we do not face alone. Whatever the challenge may be, always remember that it is not you who must battle the forces of the aeons of this nature, but the power of the Gnosis, the Other One within. There is your Warrior.

Wake Up And Return

"Yet you are sleeping, dreaming dreams. Wake up and return! Taste and eat the True Food! Hand out the Word and the Water of Life! Cease from the evil lusts and desires and the teachings that have no basis"

Worth A Thousand Words

“We are placing you before the imperishable Gnosis, which has as its starting point the idea that the Divine Spirit is held captive in the world of the senses and that, consequently, it is necessary to rise up out of this prison, out of this imprisoned Soul-man. In this way, the Original Spirit-Man can be united with the Primary Source of All Things, by means of insight, professing, and striving.”

Traveler

We mention on this blog Cosmic Domains, reflection-spheres, etc. Truly 'extra'-terrestrial domains that are qualitatively different from the physical realm that we experience with our five senses.

Many find it difficult to believe that there is an entire universe beyond-the-veil in what is known as the reflection-sphere. It's even harder for them to believe that there are whole other densities or dimensions, such as the Sixth Cosmic Domain, which are presently outside of our ability to perceive, even though they are nearer than hands and feet.

Perhaps it would be easier to accept if one recognized that every night, when we close our eyes we travel to the astral realm of the reflection-sphere. The physical body remains in bed, maintained by the lower two ethers (chemical ether, life ether). The Silver Cord keeps the physical body and part of the etheric body connected to the astral body. Tethered in this way, the astral body along with the two higher ethers of the etheric body (light, reflecting) travels great distances, participating in various experiences during the hours of sleep. In the morning, the astral body returns to slip back into the physical body. The body awakens and we are back to 'reality'.

It happens so often and so naturally that we take it for granted. Not realizing or understanding that our dreams are the result of our consciousness experiencing in the astral regions of the reflection-sphere while the physical body sleeps and undergoes repair.

This is only the tip of the iceberg. There are many other 'realities' out there, including the Great Reality that beckons from the Divine Kingdom. Accept that the physical world is but the lowest rung on a Ladder that stretches endlessly into the Infinite. Acknowledge that although it is in latency, you have the power and ability to climb that Ladder. You can, and will, someday walk amongst the Stars. Even more, the Sixth Cosmic Domain is within your reach, if you choose to walk the straight and narrow Path that leads to the Divine Light. How soon any of this takes place is entirely up to you. It all begins with a firm decision to leave this world behind and to Seek the Kingdom within.

Liberation 101

For those who have chosen to walk the Path, these books can serve as a critical source of insight and a foundation to build upon.

Elementary Philosophy of the Modern Rosycross

From the back cover:

"In this book the authors explain that: 'not everything that calls itself  "Rosycross" is the true Rosycross in the universal, gnostic sense of the word'. What then should we understand as the universal meaning of the Rosycross?

All who are seeking an answer in an unprejudiced way should read this book. It indicates clearly what one needs to know if one truly wishes to find Liberation.

It sketches the meaning of magic and initiation, involution and evolution, birth and death, and it emphasizes the importance of processes of regeneration and redemption of the world.

In conclusion, the Golden Rosycross and its task in today's world are placed before us as a mighty, radiant beacon".

 The Coming New Man

"What do you know about freedom? What do you know about liberation? What is freedom for you? If, upon hearing the words freedom and liberation, your thoughts rise beyond the concepts commonly held in our society, The Coming New Man may be the book for you.

The Coming New Man takes you along on a search for the other one within you. It takes you along on a developmental journey to your true destination.

In The Coming New Man, Jan van Rijckenborgh describes the human being as a system of bodies enclosed by a microcosm. The Divine nucleus is located at the centre of this microcosm, the centre of the Original human-being we once were. The central issue is: who were we, who are we, and where are we going?

The Coming New Man is based on the Universal Teachings, the common thread that has run through all world religions and mystical schools from the outset of the human race. They are the teachings of the Gnosis, the teachings of inner knowledge and recognition. Every age and every period in human development formulates its own ways to liberation, its own Path to Life.

This book, addressed to the human being of the 20th and 21st centuries, will help you to experience this in detail if you are open to it. It describes the human struggle for Light. It contains the key to correct self-analysis, which is a process of self-purification, and the next step in the form of an openness to a spiritual future. The ultimate goal is transfiguration, which is the development of a new Human Being who lives from forces we can scarcely comprehend.

This book describes the new human being in detail, enabling the modern seeker to recognize him and wend his way to following in his footsteps."

Immortality Or Death? The Choice Is Yours

You are a temporary personality. A natural phenomena created for the express purpose of helping to Liberate the microcosm that you inhabit.

If you fail in this endeavor, death will be your share. Yes. you'll spend some time in "heaven" (the reflection-sphere) but slowly, like the Wicked Witch in the Wizard of Oz, you will dissolve away, leaving not a trace of the "you" who was.

Your Consciousness will persist, as will your Karma, and all the positive and negative receipts of the life just lived. But "you" will be gone, to be replaced in the future by a new personality, whose job it will be to try and accomplish what you failed to accomplish.

If you succeed in this endeavor, if your personality manages to locate the Path of the True Way, the Path of Return, then Immortality will be your share. The remains of your personality will not take the common road to the reflection-sphere and gradual dissolution. Your soul vehicles, minus the physical body, will instead travel to the Vacuum of Shamballa, the outpost of the Universal Brotherhood here on earth.

We refer to Shamballa as a vacuum because it is sustained by ethers that are not of this world. The high vibration that is to be found there is conducive to helping those souls who have begun their Walk while in the physical to complete the Great Work with all the help and support needed. Victory is assured.

The Journey starts here. You have reached the Gate of Choice. You must decide: will I take the road of least resistance and remain rooted to the earth-plane or will I fulfill my mission and travel the Way of the Stars? There is no middle ground. The proposition is either-or. It must be one or the other. You cannot have both. Remember that flesh and blood cannot inherit the Kingdom.

Fear nothing. Choose with Wisdom.

Of Parallel Universes And Wormholes

We're going to keep this very simple.

Nature-born science proudly announces their theories that "parallel" universes must exist and can be entered via the use of "wormholes", neither of which have yet been discovered.

Even when our "authorities" are on the right track, they mislead mankind with their self-taught theories. We will reconcile these theories here.

Parallel Universes

There are parallel universes, but they are not to be thought of as being actually parallel to one another. Parallel universes are actually concentric universes, meaning that they exist within the same space and interpenetrate one another. We all know that the atom is mostly "empty" space. With that in mind, it should not be hard to comprehend that worlds composed of different arrangements of atoms can exist in the same space without touching one another.

Here in the Cosmic Physical Plane, the Seventh Cosmic Domain, there are actually seven Earths. All seven are of different densities. All seven exist within the same space.

Wormholes

Wormholes have been described as a shortcut between two parallel universes, usually depicted in the manner shown in the picture above, which is conceptually incorrect. The entry-point into any of the concentric universes is your state-of-consciousness. Remember:  "a state-of-consciousness is a state-of-life". Attune your state-of-consciousness to the proper vibration and you will perceive a different universe. That is your "wormhole".

Seven Cosmic Domains

There are Seven Cosmic Domains. Each Cosmic Domain is sub-divided into seven sub-planes. Again, all Domains and sub-planes interpenetrate one another. An aspect of you (not the physical personality, but the True Man) presently exists on all of these Domains and sub-planes. You are not aware of this as you are unable to perceive any of them at this time. The focus of your consciousness is narrowly restricted to the Earth-plane, the seventh sub-plane of the Seventh Cosmic Domain. We who are on the Path are trying to return to the Sixth Cosmic Domain.

The Universal Doctrine reveals that the way to perceive these extra realities is to release our focus on this physical reality, to which we cling as with a death-grip. Liberation is the key to omnipresence and omniscience. The Path of Return shows the Seeker the way.

“Everything is energy and that's all there is to it. Match the frequency of the reality you want and you cannot help but get that reality. It can be no other way. This is not philosophy. This is physics.”  - D. Anka

Journey Through The Four Kingdoms

"God Sleeps in the Stone,

Breathes in the Plant,

Dreams in the Animal

and Awakens in Man."

.

Your Greatest Adversary...

...is yourself.

The moment that you say "I can't...", you won't.

The moment you identify yourself as a body, you delay the rebirth of the New Soul.

The moment that you refuse to consider that there are myriads of worlds, solar systems and entire universes invisible to the physical eye, yet occupying the same space in which you stand or sit, you lock yourself into this material realm, the lowest of the infinite Realities.

The moment that you refuse to believe that you, by the purification of the Thought-life and via a link to the Thirteenth Aeon, can effect the birth of a New Soul and a glorified New Personality while still retaining the use of the old mortal soul and mundane physical personality, you condemn yourself to the Wheel of Death and Rebirth.

Everything that man needs to transcend the physical world has been given to him. He has the physical instrumentarium, with its light-vesture composed of the five soul fluids: the consciousness fluid, the serpent-fire, the hormonal fluids, the nerve fluid and the blood. He has the etheric double, the vital body whose time is now approaching. He has the astral body, that allows him to visit higher realms, if he is so attuned, and he has a mental body, which will one day re-link him to Spirit.

Unfortunately, even with these riches, man lacks the one thing needful: knowledge. Knowledge of how to properly utilize these gifts in the manner in which they were intended. It is like being stranded on a desert island with a canoe and oars right next to you on shore. Instead of taking up the oars and rowing to safety, you turn the canoe over and build a clubhouse. Or you rip the planks off the boat and use them as firewood, so that you can cheerfully roast up some marshmallows. Meanwhile, you seal your doom.

In a similar manner, man abuses his body until this magnificent instrumentarium has no choice but to become dis-eased and die. The Precious Gift is wasted. Again.

Learn to understand the purpose of the human body. Learn to understand the relationship between the seven main chakras and the ductless glands. Learn that your mental body, although in its infancy, is extremely powerful. Learn of the transformative power of the Light-radiations of the Gnosis. Learn that whatever you focus upon is what will come to you. Whatever you desire is what you will attract.

If what you desire is useless crap, then useless crap you shall receive. If you have crap in your life, it is because crap is what you requested. The sooner you learn the foregoing, the sooner you take responsibility for your incarnation.

If what you want is a link with the Gnosis and guidance on the Path of Return, then that is what you shall receive. The sooner you take steps to purify your thinking and your desires, you will attract Divine Attention. Strong, gentle hands will reach out to guide you on your way, lest you dash your foot against a stone.

To obtain the former, simple desire will do. To obtain the latter, you must yearn with all your heart.

All God's Children

[QUOTING]

It is well to digress here and reveal another secret that is well-hidden. Each nation and race of antiquity had various names for God. In Arabia, it is Allah; in India, Brahma; In Hebrew, Yod, Jod, Jehovah; In Egypt, Is-Ra-El, which also means the whole visible universe or body of God.

The Hebrews claimed they were the Children of Israel, God's own "chosen people" (Deuteronomy 7:6). All races can make that claim, for they are all God's children. The Hebrews took the word "Israel" from the Egyptians. It is a compound of three Egyptian words: Is, Ra, and El. "IS" was an Egyptian symbol of God as Universal Mother. "RA" was a symbol of God as Universal Father; and "EL" was a symbol of God as Universal Son. The Egyptian words IS RA EL meant the three Universal Principles of God -- Father, Mother, Son -- the Trinity.

A mystery ceases to be such when explained. To understand what we read, we must understand the basic meaning of the words we read.

From "Awaken The World Within" Hilton Hotema (1962)

[END QUOTING]

This deception has been used to effectively segregate a portion of humanity from their brothers. It has inspired world wars and resulted in the creation of a nation-state that remains at the center of unrest in the Middle East and around the world.

There is a hidden reason for this gross fraud but there is neither space nor time to go into it now. Suffice it to say that whenever you hear the term "chosen people", take it with a grain of salt.

We are all God's Chosen People. Fallen at this time, but Chosen nonetheless.

Death = Change

“THE COSMIC CYCLE PROVES LIFE IS ETERNAL. Man dies not; he changes. “Death” is the word used to indicate the change.

 

UNDER THE LAW OF THE COSMIC CYCLE, INVISIBLE VAPOR BECOMES VISIBLE ICE, AND ICE RETURNS TO VAPOR. THERE IS NO END. COSMIC PROCESSES WORK IN CYCLES, AND ALL THINGS ARE ETERNAL.”

 

From Man Does Not Die by H. Hotema

If there's one thing everyone needs to learn, understand and apply:

There is no such thing as death. The Universe, emanated from The Living All, is a living Universe. No part of it can "die".

Man's mis-education has taught him to fear death, to consider the dissolution of the physical body as the definitive "end of life". This is so far from being true that it would be laughable if it weren't so tragic. Death, so-called, is simply a transition from one state-of-consciousness to another. It is like being in a room, opening a door into another room and closing that door behind you. You still exist, both rooms still exist, only you are no longer present in one of the rooms.

If man realized that death is not "the end", perhaps he would live life differently. If he knew that he was destined to return to earth-life again due to the causes he puts into motion during the current life, perhaps he would be more careful with his Thinking, Feeling and Willing in the current life. Perhaps he would live life consciously and intelligently, instead of blindly crashing through it like a bull in a china shop. Perhaps, instead of chasing ephemeral things like money, sex, power and possessions, he would take the time to stop and contemplate the meaning of his existence and in so doing, find the purpose behind our existence, the One Goal of Humanity.

There is no death. This has to be understood and accepted by man. If not, everything else in his Seeking will make no sense at all. What we call "life" here on earth is but the temporary extension of a personality into physical matter; a dip in the pool, so to speak. Symbolically speaking, we take a dip, splash around, learn new swimming strokes, or learn nothing and perhaps even drown.

Each life lived is like another pearl added to a string of pearls. Each incarnation, like another page in a very large book. This must become clear not just in the mind of the Seeker, but in the minds of all men.

There is no death. There is only change.

To Find The Light

Question: What is the aim of our experience in the Darkness?

 

Answer: “The aim is to find the Light during such an odyssey, and with the aid of the Light one has found, to overcome evil and restore the Original state.

All the Mysteries culminate in this. As soon as the human-being becomes aware of this, his line of development turns upward again and returns to Its Origin. But with what an immeasurable difference!

 

The human-being sets out as an ignorant entity, he returns as One Who Knows. He sets out as a Prodigal Son, now he is the son who has been found again, and who returns to the House of the Father”.

 

From  The Egyptian Arch-Gnosis, Part IV, p 122 – Jan van Rijckenborgh

.

The Holy Aim

"We renounce all religion, all occultism, all humanitarianism, all philosophy, and every form of delusion, being in a complete self-revolt, and we base our aim in the true Divine Seed of Life becoming one with the Original Source of the Spirit.

This objective involves a daily struggle against one’s own earthly nature, which must give up its predominance over the higher nature through self-mortification. Not until this objective is reached can the Gnosis be experienced."
.

Equals

“You must consider the course of this world—that all things in it are but a play wherewith you spend your time in such unquietness, and that it goes with the rich and mighty as with the poor and the beggar; that all of us equally live and move in the four elements, and that the hard-earned morsel of the poor is as relishing and savory to him in his labour as the dainties of the rich are to him in his cares.

Also, that all of us subsist by One Breath, and that the rich man hath nothing but the pleasures of the palate and the lust of the eye for a little while more than his poor neighbor, for the end of both is the same.”

—Jakob Böhme, The Way to Christ (1623)
.

Karma: Nothing Personal, Just Business

A man commits a murder, killing an innocent young girl in an unspeakable manner. He is apprehended, brought to trial, convicted, sentenced to life in prison or death at the hands of the state. Although he has paid his debt to society, a larger Unpaid Debt remains outstanding.

The man dies, and transitions to the reflection-sphere. Depending on how much the microcosmic personality learned during the just-completed earth-life, he will re-incarnate as either a monster destined to kill again, or as one who has learned the folly of murder and will care for life while in the physical.

Life follows life. The microcosm generates successive personalities of a more refined nature. The killer of thousands of years ago no longer exists, the desire to harm others has been erased from the microcosm.

At some point, the microcosm generates a personality of great beauty. A little girl, innocent and pure. When the little girl is ten years old, she is murdered in an unspeakable manner. The horror is imprinted upon the microcosm.

The Unpaid Debt has been repaid.

From the outside, we see a tragedy of tremendous proportions. If we could see from the Inside, we would recognize the workings of a Great Law. All imbalances must be balanced. All wrongs must be righted. No matter how long it may take.

Be mindful of the Causes that you set in motion during this life, for the Effects shall surely be reaped in some future life.

Free Your Mind

"Your world is made by your Mind.
Your training and education have been designed
to keep you in Darkness
by controlling your Mind"

 -- Hilton Hotema --
.

What's The Difference?

Take a look at the above two skeletons and try to answer the following questions:

1. Which skeleton belongs to a so-called "black" person? Which skeleton belongs to a so-called "white" person? Feel free to insert any ethnicity or tribal designation into the foregoing and ask the same question.

2. Which skeleton belongs to a wealthy person of great prestige and so-called "power"? Which skeleton belongs to a poverty-stricken, low-class, so-called "bum"?

3. Which skeleton belongs to a male? Which to a female?

4. Which skeleton belongs to an "American"? Which to a "Russian", "European", "Asian" or "Pacific Islander"?

How did we do? Did anyone go 4-for-4 with the correct answers?

So, what's the difference? Answer: there is no difference. The only "differences" that exists between one human-being and another are the differences that man constructs in his feeble and self-focused thinking. Here's the way the majority of humanity looks at the world:

"That person doesn't look like me, is darker / lighter than me, doesn't dress like me, doesn't live where I live, doesn't have what I have, doesn't think the way I do, has ancestors who hated my ancestors, etc., etc. Therefore that person is 'different' from me. And that which is 'different' from me is my opposite, my adversary, my enemy."

What ridiculous nonsense.

That which differentiates one personality from another cannot be seen by the naked eye. Although our microcosms originated from the same Source far back in the annals of what we know as "time", each microcosm has accumulated myriads of different experiences during countless instances of physical incarnations. During this span, some microcosms have advanced on the Path that leads to ultimate Liberation from the cosmic physical plane, others have stagnated or regressed. These conditions are what are responsible for that which man could possibly want to call "differences".

Even this cannot completely be the case, as the least-developed soul is essentially not so different from the highest-developed initiate. They are "the same in nature, but different in degree". Two extremes of the same pole. The initiate was once an undeveloped soul, and therefore shares that experience. The undeveloped soul is striving to become an initiate, and therefore shares that aspiration.

Your mass media is hugely responsible for how humanity looks at the world and each other. There are billions of stories occurring each day across the globe, but the mainstream news editors, publishers and broadcasters are interested only in showing you the worst sort of news, the kind that succeeds in maintaining artificial divides and separating humanity from one another. This is why certain groups, say Group "A" are disproportionately featured on the front pages, doing bad things; the purpose is to reinforce the idea in the minds of other groups, say Group "B", that members of Group "A" are animals, and the cause of all the crime in the world. In the meantime, members of Group "B" are also committing the most heinous crimes imaginable, but receiving little media attention unless the crime is so ridiculously outrageous that it cannot be ignored. Such matters are stage-managed by the handful of human lackeys who control almost everything that you see and hear in this world.

In this way, the thinking of the masses is shaped and refined. The public falls victim to a certain type of mind-control, one based upon humanity's self-focus, coupled with an erroneous assumption that the mainstream media does not lie or manipulate, and always tells the public the truth.

Make it a point to maintain control of your thinking. Observe the world from the basis of the living soul-state, not as a nature-born human-being. Recognize that the world is under the spell of a massive programming and deception, and strive to disengage yourself from it. Always remain neutral, objective, unattached to any outcome. If you fail to do these things, you risk being swept up in the maelstrom of public opinion and mass hypnosis that envelops the world today, thus impeding your ability to respond to the radiations of the Gnosis.

In the end, there is no difference between one person and another, one group or another. We are all prisoners of the aeons of this nature. We are all astral food sources for the "prince of this world". The sooner that this is recognized by the candidate, the sooner the next step on the Path can be taken.

Lesser Harvest, Greater Harvest

"There is going to be a Harvest, as you might call it, a Harvest of Souls that will shortly occur upon your planet. We are attempting to extract the greatest possible harvest from this planet. This is our mission, for we are the Harvesters"

Earth and mankind have reached the end of a major world-cycle. At a certain point in time, when a critical mass of Seeking humanity has been obtained, something tremendous will happen.

For a brief period of time, the dimensions will merge. The veils that separate physical, etheric, astral and mental planes will come down for a short while. Like a game of cosmic "musical chairs",  when the "music" stops, this temporary condition will enable all who have sufficiently raised their soul-vibration above a certain level to advance to a higher state of consciousness, allowing them to experience in the plane of existence that corresponds to their rate of vibration.

Each will have their own result. Some will advance to the etheric sub-plane, others to the astral sub-plane. Another group will escape the Cosmic Physical plane completely. Those who do not raise their soul-vibration to a sufficient frequency will have to incarnate on another Earth-like planet in the distant future, where they will begin their evolution all over again without any memories of their former lives.

The following description of the Harvest is taken from Servers of the Divine Plan:

[QUOTING]

So we may now recognize that, with regard to today's cyclic spiritual opportunity, there are three distinct groups:

(1) Those who, having failed to learn the lessons of the physical plane over many lifetimes, will be forced to leave the Earth in order to later incarnate on another physical world so that they may begin again to learn by way of the unique experiences and opportunities that are available only in the third density.

(2) Those who have learned sufficiently from and passed the tests of the physical-plane school and who will have therefore earned their promotion to the fourth- or fifth-density classroom of life where they shall proceed with their higher learning. However, it should be understood that such a graduation does not mean Liberation or Enlightenment, and the promoted soul will at some stage in the future be compelled by karmic law to return, via reincarnation, to the physical plane in order to once again attempt to achieve the one Goal of every unenlightened human being: transfiguration, or ultimate liberation from matter (including the more subtle matter of the 4th and 5th densities). Therefore, the graduation to the 4th or 5th densities is actually a temporary promotion into more rarefied spheres of existence and experience, and so may be termed 'the lesser harvest'.

(3) Those who have discovered and gone the Path of Return and who are, therefore, able to be lifted up into the sixth cosmic sphere - the Body of Christ - and so who will attain the Final Liberation from all the lower worlds of fallen nature by being harvested back into the divine Kingdom. This is the true Harvest and has been the prime focus of all Avatars throughout human history.

[END QUOTING]

What is described in item (3) is called 'the greater harvest'.

It has been asked, what happens to those who "live nobly" but do not find the Path before the curtain falls? These will experience the Lesser Harvest. The etheric body will be their lowest physical vehicle. As noted above, the personality will have to undergo the incarnation process at some point. This because the process of transfiguration must begin in a physical body. The life-span of the personality will increase. All will have opportunities once again to discover the Path of the True Way.

Those who obtain Final Liberation by walking the Path of Return while in the physical body will take part in the Greater Harvest. Their microcosms will transfigure, along with their in-dwelling personalities. These personalities, the last to be subject to the reincarnation process, will not move on to the etheric, astral or mental planes of the Cosmic Physical Plane, the Seventh Cosmic Domain. Instead, with a giant leap they will return to the Divine Kingdom, the Sixth Cosmic Domain, the Cosmic Astral Plane. There will be no mandatory requirement to incarnate into the Cosmic Physical ever again, unless by a voluntary choice to serve the advancement of humanity in some fashion.

This is what lies ahead for mankind. Thankfully, there is still time left to choose your destiny.

The Wheel and The Path

School's in.

Above is a diagram that illustrates the gnostic Path of Transfiguration. The diagram is the same as that which describes the Hindu concept of Moksha, only it has more detail. It pictorially outlines every step in the cycle of Life-Death-and-Rebirth and also shows the alternate path, the Path of Return, the Path of the True Way, the Path of Liberation from the Wheel of Death-and-Rebirth.

Man is the only creature that is twofold: he is both mortal and immortal. Mortal as to the temporary personality and its etheric, astral and mental vehicles. Immortal as to the microcosm, which persists for Eternity.

The above diagram describes the ages-long journey of the microcosm, as it creates one personality after another, living, dying, living, dying, in a fruitlessly slow process of development. At the top-of-page is depicted the Kingdom of God, the Divine Kingdom, the Sixth Cosmic Domain. It is referred to as the "Static Universe" because there are no pairs-of-opposites in this Realm, no duality. Love is the rule, not the exception. Here we speak not of conditional human love, which is but a poor imitation, but of the Divine Love that encompasses and permeates The All.

Below this area is shown the Material Universe: duality, or dialectics. Here is where our microcosms fell, long ages ago. The Wheel of Death and Rebirth holds sway here, and is depicted as two halves of the same circle - the reflection-sphere (the so-called 'heaven' worlds) and the physical plane (what man calls 'reality', which, by the way, is incorrect).

To read this diagram, we start at the extreme right-hand side of the Wheel, just below the words "The Veil Between Life and Death". A man and a woman are depicted there. This portion of the Wheel represents physical birth. Here is where an emptied microcosm begins the process of collecting the soul-vehicles that will be required to build a new personality. In addition to the physical body, at intervals of seven-years-per-vehicle, the etheric body is built, then the astral body, and finally, the mental body. By the age of 21 all soul-vehicles are accounted for and the personality is considered an adult. Maturity of the mental body, the last vehicle built, does not occur until the age of 28.

As can be seen on the diagram, once all four vehicles have been constructed, an interesting thing happens: there is a fork or a splitting of the path of the microcosm with its personality. The personality can either continue on the road of least resistance, remain on the Wheel and once again meet physical death, where its vehicles will dissolve one by one until the microcosm is emptied once more, or it can take the divergent path, the Path of Return, the Path that leads the microcosm back to the Divine Kingdom.

This is the secret that was taught in all ancient Mystery Schools. The doctrine of Liberation. It is being revealed to mankind now because we are in the time of Harvest. During this special period of Grace, veils will be lowered, dimensions will temporarily merge, so as to allow all those who are walking the Path of the True Way to take a giant leap into Eternity.

Keep the diagram. Study it. It is the Key to the Mystery of Eternal Life.

Moksha

Mokhsa, also called vimoksha, vimukti and mukti, is a term in Hinduism and Hindu philosophy which refers to various forms of emancipation, liberation, and release ... it refers to freedom from saṃsāra, the cycle of death and rebirth.

A simple diagram illustrating a powerful doctrine. Around and around we go, turn after turn on The Wheel until finally, in one life, the right personality finds the Path that leads to the way out.

With the above in mind, stand by for the follow-up...

The Pendulum

It is understood that we are experiencing in a duality, a dialectical universe. Simply put, this means that everything  in the Physical Universe has its polar opposite. Opposites are related to one another, as they represent two extremes of the same attribute. For example, hot and cold are two extremes. In-between them are an infinite range of temperatures.  Both are parts of the same attribute: temperature.

If you apply this reasoning to any of the pairs of opposites that exist in this world, you will see the pattern, and the following principle will become clear.

IV. The Principle of Polarity

"Everything is Dual; everything has poles; everything has its pair of opposites; Like and Unlike are the Same; opposites are identical in nature, but different in degree; extremes meet; all truths are but half-truths; all paradoxes may be reconciled."

Now we move to the principle that man has not understood at all, which has resulted in our accumulating a heavy burden of karma and binding ourselves ever more tightly to this world, life after life after life.

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. Although living in a duality, Original Man did not violate the above principle. Original Man remained objectively neutral and did not endeavor to take sides or bind Himself to the things of the world. But once a portion of the Original Human-Beings "fell in love with their reflection", they set the Pendulum of Duality in motion and it has not yet stopped swinging.

This Pendulum represents the working of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. The knowledge of Good and the knowledge of Evil. Understanding is required here.

"Good" and "Evil" are opposites. Therefore they are identical in nature, but different in degree. One cannot exist without the other. In this way, not only Good and Evil but all opposites maintain one another. If something happens to swing the pendulum towards the Good, it is inevitable, it is Law, that the Pendulum must swing back towards Evil in the same measure: the measure of the swing to the right is the measure of the swing to the left.

How does the working of these laws manifest in the world, to mankind's detriment? Let's take humanism, or humanitarianism. The desire of a segment of humanity to help others less fortunate with food, shelter, money, etc., although outwardly admirable, actually serves only to trigger a "swing to the left", fostering more war, more famine, more destitution, more inhumanity to man. It is the Law, it has to be so within a duality. The problem is that humanity does not recognize this Law and fights blindly against it. Humanity sees more war, so they re-double their humanitarian efforts. More war results. So the humanitarians work even harder. More wars ensue, and so on. You get the picture.

This begs the question: how do we stop the motion of this Pendulum? How do we still this deadly movement that has kept humanity chained to this sphere for vast eons of time?

Neutrality. Objectivity. Be neither for nor against anything. Remain detached. Do not lose compassion for the suffering of your fellow-man, but recognize the workings of the Law and resolve to transcend and rise above it. To be neutral does not mean to "not care". It means just what it says: remain neutral. Do not take sides in anything that goes on in this world. Simply observe with understanding.

What has just been written may be hard for some to accept or follow. This is to be expected. It goes against everything we've been "taught" about how life on this planet works. But when one's eyes are being opened after a long period of darkness, the brightness of the light can sometimes hurt the eyes.

The Pendulum, one of the roots of man's suffering, must be brought to a rest. If not within the whole of humanity, then at least within ourselves.

Has The New Soul Been Born In You?

"The Divine Birth cannot be forced. You can only create the conditions for this Birth to take place. How do you know if the New Soul is born in you?

The famous mystic Meister Eckhart wrote about this:

'Now you turn your face entirely to this Birth. Yes, you will encounter this birth in everything you see and hear, whatever it is. You are like someone who looks for quite a while at the Sun, and afterwards sees the image of the Sun in whatever he looks at.

As long as you do not seek and perceive God in everything, this Birth has not yet occurred in you'"
