Why Worlds "End"

"As Above, So Below".

This hermetic axiom is the key to understanding the microcosm (man), the cosmos (earth) and the macrocosm (the solar system). It very plainly states that the order we see in the heavens and on earth is mirrored in the man.

Contrary to the confused reasoning of a significant portion of humanity, man, earth and solar system are not the result of a random conglomeration of atoms which over the course of billions of years accidentally assembled themselves into the diverse hierarchies and kingdoms of life that we see today. These are the ruminations of fools who have chosen not to accept, as fact, the existence of a Divine Architect which orders all things. To hold such a viewpoint is akin to saying "I will leave this sack of trash right here and in a billion years, a mighty civilization will arise from it".

There is a divine order to the macrocosm (solar system) and the cosmos (the Earth) which extends also to the microcosm of man. The Logos always creates with a specific plan in mind, a divine blueprint from which all that is to be created will build their foundations upon.

When God's creations follow the Divine Plan, things go smoothly. The creature shares in the Power and the Glory of the Logos and in this way, comes to know God because God acts through the creature. When the creature acts against The Plan, sorrow and suffering is the result. Acting against the Divine Plan results in a pollution of the subtle spheres of a cosmos (the etheric, astral and mental realms). At some point, this pollution threatens to do irreparable harm to the entites that are experiencing there. When this situation arises, a cleansing must result.

Let's take the Earth as an example. Approximately 26,000 years ago, at the end of the last precessional cycle, the Earth underwent a cleansing of its subtle planes as well as a cleansing of its surface. The cleansing became necessary because humanity had thoroughly polluted the Earth with thousands of years of wrong-thinking, wrong-willing, and wrong-acting. The cleansing allowed the subtle and gross spheres of the Earth to be purified once again.

Many humans perished in the cataclysms, but many were also spared. Those who were spared were taken to a place of refuge, where they could wait out the destruction and re-construction of the earth's material plane. In the meantime, they enjoyed the pure and unsullied ethers of the rejuvenated etheric, astral and mental realms.

During this period of rejuvenation, the Remnant, as we shall refer to them, were reminded of their True Purpose, the One Goal of Humanity: Liberation. They were taught the requirements for walking the Path of Return. Their instructors were great, divine teachers and their helpers, who were now able to return to the purified Earth and make direct contact with humanity. These exalted beings led and nurtured the surviving Remnant in preparation for the dawn of a new day of manifestation.

At a given moment, the time came for the Remnant, armed now with True Knowledge, to resume their sojourn on the Earth. Their divine teachers went with them and continued to over-shadow them, keeping them safe from error. However, as time went on, the old habits began to crop up again, as it always has. The race became headstrong and began to disregard their divine leadership. Wrong-thinking, wrong-willing and wrong-feeling began to once again pollute the etheric, astral and mental realms. The divine emissaries had to withdraw. Man was once again left on his own. Thousands of years later, we see where that has ultimately led.

All things great and small run in cycles. Thus, we have once more reached the end of another 26,000 year precessional cycle. The Earth is being prepared for another cleansing. However, this time the stakes are much higher, as the Earth will be transitioning to a higher rate of vibration. The dense, physical Earth will no longer be available for habitation by humanity. This means that humans will have to raise their own microcosmic vibration to a level that matches or exceeds that of the New Earth in order to continue to be able to experience with her. The physical body will no longer be of use, or necessary. Man will utilize his etheric double (also known as the etheric, or vital body) as his lowest vehicle.

This is why worlds end...so that they can begin anew, with fresh pure ethers that can benefit all of mankind. So that humanity can once again be given an opportunity to know their True Purpose. So that those who have learned their lessons can take leave of the Earth-system, and those who have yet to learn can start over, under divine leadership, instruction and guidance.

Humanity now stands at the precipice of a monumental cosmic event. We face not an "end", but a glorious New Beginning.

The Delusion Of Dream-Life

[QUOTING]

We must now inform you of an almost unknown part of serious pupilship -- the time when the body sleeps. One-third of the day is spent in this way without one being able to participate in it consciously. This is a very unpleasant thought. No one likes to pass through the unknown unprepared and unarmed. Therefore, for the serious candidate it is of the greatest importance to come to an understanding of this situation.

There are dangers and life-processes of which man is completely unconscious. There are also great possibilities in man which, because of his ignorance, remain untried. It is certainly not our intention to speak about the nocturnal experiences of man in general. This is a subject which is very dear to the negatively or occultly-inclined man and it has been spoken and written about very often. Dream-life is a good basis for a psychological examination, for in this way, it is often possible to establish the deepest and most subconscious motives of man.

No, we limit our explanation almost entirely to the life of the soul-man during the hours of sleep, and we restrict our discussion to the state-of-being of the serious pupil; to the birth of the soul in him as a state which is clearly demonstrated through his actions.

When we fall asleep, a splitting of the personality takes place and part of it withdraws. However, what usually escapes the attention of investigators is that, besides the splitting of the personality, a splitting of the consciousness occurs as well.

Dualistic consciousness results from the organic cooperation of all atoms that belong to the personality-system. Accordingly, we can differentiate four manifestations of consciousness: two that belong more to the material and etheric bodies, and two that belong to the astral and mental bodies. When someone enters the condition of sleep and the tenuous part of the personality withdraws, the consciousness also splits. The material aspect remains on the material side, sometimes in a state of latency, of inactivity, sometimes in a state of partial activity. The latter is the case when during the day the body has been unduly strained, or if one is extremely nervous or anxious. The other aspect of the consciousness accompanies the astral and mental bodies that have withdrawn. Since everyone's mental body is organized in only a very elementary and incomplete fashion, the consciousness is almost completely governed by the astral consciousness  during sleep. Therefore, as far as present-day man is concerned, one can safely say that his sleeping consciousness is the astral consciousness.

Without further investigation, one can deduce from this that the nocturnal conscious life of man cannot in any way be compared with the conscious life in matter, when the four aggregates of consciousness are found concentrically within one another, co-operating with one another and so mutually controlling one another.

The night-consciousness of man is exclusively an astral consciousness. Whoever really knows what this means will no longer be a victim of the thousand-and-one mistakes that man has made and will continue to make.

The astral sphere of our planet has become incredibly filthy and complicated. If there is one domain of life on our planet that demonstrates the situation of present-day humanity, it is certainly the astral sphere. Here, everything about which one worries in religious, occult and negative movements is accomplished. One can safely say that all life in the astral sphere is delusion.  This does not mean there is no life or movement in the astral sphere; on the contrary, it swarms with life, but this has no real basis, no meaning; it is empty and rotten. It is only a picture, an appearance which is mistaken for reality by all the ignorant. He who is deceived by the dualistic astral life and sees it as beautiful and exalted, is absolutely lost. Let us for a moment revert to our original discussion.

When a new Day of Manifestation dawns in a period of mankind, after a purification of world-spheres, and one can speak of a new beginning; when the part of mankind that is still in duality is once more brought into manifestation, then the pure astral sphere is only a domain in which certain ideas, teachings and and processes project themselves as a series of pictures. One could compare it with a useful and instructive film. As each human being perceives astrally during the night-conscious life, the instructive astral viewing will be of the highest importance for him. In a pure personality that is directed upon a high purpose, this nightly astral viewing can have a good effect upon the action-life of the day, and man can know from within how it should and should not be.

Just imagine that the astral sphere is completely pure and clean at this moment and that the Universal Gnostic Chain fills this field with its powers and teachings. Imagine that during sleep, when we withdraw with the astral self, we would be able to refresh ourselves with all the wonderful powers, all the series of pure pictures assembled for our sake in the astral sphere by the Universal Brotherhood; upon awakening, we would then bring back into the waking consciousness all the glorious help we had received, and be able to profit from it.

But when the astral sphere became polluted and the occultists, among others, made themselves masters of this region, when the reflection-sphere brotherhoods constructed their dream castles -- the churches built their heavenly cathedrals and innumerable iniquities piled up there -- then the astral sphere could no longer serve as an inner instruction-field, and teaching the truly seeking man became extremely difficult. In fact, if applied in the usual manner, it would represent a deadly danger. Therefore, it became necessary for the Brotherhood to devise other means to be of service to the seeker.

You should become aware of these dangers, for night after night you are in the astral sphere with your ordinary night-consciousness, so everything we speak of concerns you directly. It is out of the question that you would be able to dissociate yourself from the astral sphere.

Every group-conscious idea forms a projection, a reflection in the astral sphere. That is the reason why we call this sphere the reflection-sphere. Therefore, there also exists at this moment a reflection of our work and our working-apparatus in the astral sphere of the nature-of-death. This is a reality, a very dangerous reality. For the unholy powers that abuse all projections to delude mankind reside in that so very filthy and wretched astral sphere of duality. There are people who are astrally conscious and able to convey their astral impressions to the waking consciousness. It is precisely such people who are victimized. In this way, they imagine, for instance, that great beings are in communication with them, "angels", "masters", and the like. Or they can imagine that they participate in the inner life of the Gnosis. But they delude themselves and often make others fellow-victims.

In many cases, the dream-life is a great danger, the more so because those, to whom it is of importance to chain you, come to you in a series of images which you so enthusiastically receive. Just as it is possible to make a film which can be shown, so the astral sphere may be compared to a theatre to which you can go every night to see what you like most.

"The Astral Sphere Of Duality" - Jan van Rijckenborgh

[END QUOTING]

Anyone who is active in the dream-state and mistakes it for reality is sadly mistaken and in grave danger. There is nothing in the reflection-sphere, as it is currently constituted, that can be of any benefit to mankind. Upon waking, one is best-served to forget about whatever took place while the eyes were closed. There is nothing but deception and delusion in the astral realms, and it will remain so until The Great Cleansing - which is now taking place - has been completed.

The Opportunity Of Disaster

Being impacted by the "superstorm" that recently hit the east coast of the United States, once again this writer is reminded of the hidden, beneficial purposes of disasters such as these.

One may wonder, "Beneficial? What is he talking about? What possible benefit can be derived from the loss of life, limb and/or property?". Well, it goes like this:

In any disaster scenario, acts of unselfishness and kindness - both large and small - abound. Although there will be a certain percentage of lawlessness and inhumane behavior, for the most part, humans will instinctively work to help one another in some fashion. Besides the immediately observable benefits of such acts for the recipients, there are also benefits for the giver. When we are engaged in behavior of an unselfish nature, such as helping disaster victims, we focus our attentions away from the "I", from the lower self. This re-direction of desire helps to "still" the heart, which is the seat of desire. Stilling the heart allows an opportunity for the Christine radiations, which are ever-present, to penetrate the heart sanctuary without encountering the normal level of resistance. When these divine radiations come in contact with the divine-spark  housed in the heart, a measure of purification takes place. The man or woman comes one step closer to awakening the spirit-spark atom.

Our thoughts and feelings have a direct affect on our inner and outer constitution. The purer our thinking and feeling, the purer our subtle vehicles will become. A healthy physical body will be the natural by-product. However, we are not concerned with the state of the physical body beyond obtaining the minimum level of health necessary to function on this plane. What is important is the condition of our etheric double (the vital body), as well as the desire and mental vehicles. These are the parts of the man that must be purified in order to awaken the divine spark, signalling the beginning of the journey along the Path of Return.

So, it's always helpful to look beyond the tragedy of any disastrous occurrence, the better to see the hidden opportunities for soul-growth that such occurrences provide. In the run-up to, and right through, the coming Tribulations, humans are going to find out that focusing their desires away from self and towards other-selves will result in the greatest benefit for all concerned.

** The Secret **

If you knew of a secret formula that could save the lives of millions, would you sit on it, or would you distribute it? This writer has wrestled with this dilemma for some time now. However, the clouds have parted and clarity has dawned. 

In the distant past, a certain amount of secret knowledge was kept from the masses, as they were not ready or prepared to assimilate the knowledge those secrets contained. These secrets were known as "the mysteries" and were disseminated in what became known as "mystery schools". A person had to show a certain aptitude, a certain state-of-being, before he would be considered and/or selected for entry into one of these schools. This made sense for those times, as the mass of men were barbaric and primitive, concerned primarily with their desires and passions. These ones could not be trusted with the mysteries, therefore justifying the intense weeding-out process.

However, now that we have reached the end of this Major World Cycle, it is incumbent upon all those who "know" to pass along to our seeking, sleeping or unaware brothers and sisters the knowledge that has been revealed to them . 

“There are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know that there are known unknowns; that is to say, we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns – the ones where we don't know that we don't know.”

Mark the following: there are things that you do not know, of which you are completely unaware of. This is the most tragic state of ignorance, because if one does not know, one will continue to blindly err. This knowledge is critical to the state of your microcosm and your future location in the Creator's Universe. You must become aware of these things if you are to make an informed choice as to what path you will take before we reach zero-point.

There are many things that this writer refers to in this blog which may appear strange or confusing, at times. This may be because some readers do not have a deep enough background in true gnosis to put all the pieces together. Therefore, the decision has been made to offer material that will assist in understanding. The decision was reached because, in the end, this information belongs to all those who are seeking the One Truth, the Only Good.

Anyone who wishes to avail themselves of pure gnosis, true Knowledge, please send an email to brothergee2012@yahoo.com with the word "gnosis" in the subject line.

A word of caution. This information will challenge all of your cultivated belief systems. If you do not put aside all of your earth-conditioning and brainwashing, you will have difficulty with it. Remember: "one cannot pour new wine into old wineskins". However, if you empty yourself and approach this material like a child, with no pre-conceptions or prejudices, the experience will serve you well.

You are being offered a great treasure. May you receive it with great humility and utilize it with great care.

'One thing, o mortals, is established here by us, namely: that God has decided that before its end, the world will be presented with a stream of Truth, Light and Greatness, such as He ordained should accompany Adam in Paradise!'.

The Divine Heart Of The Microcosm

The Microcosm and the Rose

[QUOTING]

In the mythology of most races there is a story of a Fall, a story of how original, divinely created human beings chose to deviate from the plan underlying creation, and to live in a way that separated them from God, and from Paradise. This story is found in the traditions of so many cultures that one can’t help thinking there must have been some kind of truth behind it. Have you ever wondered what that truth might have been? Have you ever wondered what the Fall from Paradise really was, and what really happened?

Well, one of the cornerstones of Rosicrucian teaching is an explanation about what the Divine Human Being was, what happened at the time of the Fall from Paradise, and how human beings came to be as we know them now. We want to tell you about this explanation, but we are very mindful of the fact that what we are saying is only a model, a much-simplified representation of something far beyond anything we could imagine or express with our limited consciousness. Our only reason for giving you this model is because we hope that, when you understand it, it will be clearer to you what you need to do, here and now. Just like a map, the model we are going to give you is only useful as a guide, and a basis for action. So, don’t hold onto the form of what we are going to say. Just let its essence work on you.

So let’s start by describing the divine human system, the human system as it was intended to be in the divine plan of creation. The Rosicrucians speak of the human system as a ‘microcosm’, or cosmos in miniature.

You could imagine the structure of the divine microcosm as being rather like a kind of spherical energy-transforming station. In the centre of the sphere there were two main foci of energy rotating around each other. One of them was negative, feminine, receiving, and the other one was positive, masculine, radiating. And there was a third focus of energy rotating in a wide orbit around the other two. This third one was neutrally charged and its function was to keep the whole microcosmic system together and act as a balancing factor.

So the whole system worked by receiving divine energy, transforming it in keeping with the divine law underlying the system, and then radiating it out again. And that process of receiving, transforming and radiating filled the microcosm with life, so that it literally became a cosmos in miniature, a whole kingdom, in effect, so that one could rightly say of the microcosm as a whole: ‘Behold, the Kingdom is within you’.

In the Bible, this Kingdom, this manifestation, is called ‘the Kingdom of God’. But when you hear this, you shouldn’t think of lots of individual microcosms, all of them gods, and all of them separate wholes. For every divine, microcosmic system was part of a greater whole, in just the same way as a cosmos does not exist by itself, but belongs to a macrocosm, a group of cosmoi.

So the divine microcosm’s consciousness was not focused inwards, on a certain point, like ours is, but outwards. And it was not centripetal, like ours is, but centrifugal, and therefore absorbed in the greater whole, so that the divine microcosm lived in a state of self-forgetful service to the whole. And this self-forgetful service was not

The Doctrine Of "The Pure Ones" - Conclusion

[QUOTING]

The Cathars explained the Fall of Lucifer, the origin of the Earth, and the birth of man with the following mythological formula:

Seven heavens. The purest and most brilliant was the Kingdom of God and the celestial Spirits. Each one of these heavens had special superior angels, whose hymns of praise rose incessantly to God's throne in the seventh heaven. Beneath the celestial regions four other elements existed, immobile and without form, but separate one from the other. Beneath heaven: the air, with clouds; further down, the ocean with its endless rolling waves; further down still, the Earth, and in the interior of the Earth, fire. Air, water, earth, and fire: the four elements, each one presided over by an angel.

Commanding the celestial armies was Lucifer, to whom God had entrusted the administration of the heavens. Flying high, he visited all the regions of the infinite celestial world, from the deepest abyss to the throne of invisible eternity. His privileged position sparked rebellious thoughts in him; he wanted to be like his Creator and Lord. First, he seduced the four angels of the elements and then a regiment of the celestial army. Then God expelled him from the Kingdom of the Heavens. The Light that until then had been soft and pure was taken from him and was replaced by another, reddish, similar to incandescent iron. The angels seduced by Lucifer were stripped of their finery and and crowns and were expelled from the heavens. Lucifer fled with them to the outer limits of the firmament. Tormented by remorse, he said to God, "Have patience with me, I will return everything to you".

And God, having compassion for His preferred son, gave him seven days -- which meant seven Days of Manifestation -- to do everything that he thought was proper. Then Lucifer established his residence in the firmament and ordered the rest of the angels who had followed him to shape the Earth. He took his crown, which had been broken since his expulsion from the Kingdom of Heavens, and with half of it formed the sun, and with the other half, the moon. Then he converted his precious stones into the stars. From the primitive mud he fashioned the first terrestrial creatures, animals and plants.

The supreme angels of the third and second heavens desired to share power with Lucifer and pleaded with God to allow them to descend to Earth, promising to return immediately afterward. God read their thoughts, but He did not deny their wish. He wanted to punish them for their lie, but He advised them not to fall asleep during their voyage, because if they did, they would forget the way to return to the Heavens. If they fell asleep, He would not call them before 7,000 years had passed. The two angels began their journey. But Lucifer put them into a deep sleep and locked them in bodies that had been shaped from the original clay. When the angels awoke, they were the human beings Adam and Eve.

To get them to forget Heaven, Lucifer created Earthly paradise. But he decided to cheat them with a new strategy. He wanted them both to sin in order to make them his slaves forever. When he put them in paradise, he forbade them -- to give more encouragement to their natural curiosity -- to eat from the tree of science. He transformed himself into a snake and seduced Eve, who in turn induced Adam to commit the original sin.

Lucifer knew very well that God had also forbidden the first pair to eat the wretched fruit. Because God would never want to see the multiplication of Lucifer's nature, Lucifer acted as if the prohibition of eating the fruit came from himself, to triumph in this way with greater certainty.

Humanity had to reproduce, because Lucifer needed fresh souls, In the new bodies produced by Adam and Eve, he confined all the angels who had abandoned the celestial regions with him.

And then, with the death of Abel, murder entered into the world.

After a while, God had compassion with the fallen angels who had been expelled from Heaven and transformed into humans. So He decided to reveal Himself to them, and sent His most perfect creature down to the Earth. His supreme angel, Christ, who would assume an outwardly human appearance. The Christ came into the world to indicate how they could return to Heaven, to the Kingdom of the Eternal Light.

I am come a Light unto the world, that whoseoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness. While ye have Light, believe in the Light, that ye may be the children of the Light. John 12:46, 36

The Christ did not become a man, a creature of Lucifer; He only appeared as one. He only gave the impression that He ate, drank, taught, suffered and died, revealing to humans a sort of shadow of His real body. This is the reason He could walk on water and transform Himself on Mount Tabor, where He revealed to His disciples the real substance of His body. Since the Fall of Lucifer, the Christ was the greatest of all angels, and for this reason He is called "the Son of God". When the Christ said that He wasn't of this world, but rather from above it, the Cathars applied this passage of the New Testament not only to the spiritual nature of the Savior, but also to His body. With this ethereal body, the Aeon Christ entered the body of Maria, like the "Word of God", through her ear. He left her as pure as He had entered her, without taking any of her matter. For this reason, he never called her "mother", and this is why he said to her, "Woman, what have I to do with you?".

 The Cathars did not recognize the reality of the miracles of Jesus. Why would He cure physical illnesses when He considered the body an obstacle to the redemption of the soul? When He cured the blind, He was curing men who were blinded by sin and allowing them to see Reality. The" bread" that He divided among the five thousand was His Word, the Bread of the Soul that gave real Life. The storm that He calmed was the storm of passions unleashed by Lucifer. In this respect, it is possible to apply the written words of the Christ: the written word kills, but the Spirit breathes Life.

Because the body of the Christ was not of an earthly nature, His crucifixion was only an apparition; this was the only way possible He could rise to Heaven. A heavenly ascension with a body of flesh and blood appeared absurd to the Cathars. A human body cannot go to heaven; an Aeon (such as the Christ), cannot die.

The Doctrine Of "The Pure Ones" - Part II

[QUOTING]

The spirits are of God; the bodies are of the Evil one.

The Cathars believed that Lucifer, whom they also called Luzibel, had created everything visible, material and perishable. Not only do all terrestrial things belong to him, but he also governs them and tries to keep them under his dominion.

But the Old Testament tells us that Jehovah is the creator of Heaven and the Earth and virtually everything on it. This is true, the Cathars said: He "created" human beings, man and woman.

In the New Testament, you can read, "There is neither man nor woman, but you are all one thing in Christ": and that "for God was pleased to have all His fullness dwell in (Christ) and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on Earth or things in Heaven". By contrast, Jehovah said, "I will put enmity between you and the woman". Jehovah curses and God blesses. All the "children of God" in the Old Testament sinned, and in the New Testament, "those born of God do not sin". Don't they contradict one another?

The Cathars referred specifically to the passages of the Old Testament that speak of the vengeance and anger of Jehovah. They were convinced that Jehovah -- who sent the Great Flood, destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, and repeated over and over again that he wanted to destroy his enemies and transfer the sins of the fathers onto the sons of the third or fourth generations -- was neither God nor absolute and eternal love.

Jehovah forbade Adam from eating from the tree of science. He either knew that other human beings would eat the fruit or he didn't. If he knew it, he did nothing other than to push Adam toward temptation, make him a sinner, and provoke his destruction.

Above all, the Albigensian "heretics" invoked the seventh chapter of the epistle to the Romans, where Paul calls Mosaic Law a "law of death and sin". Lot committed incest with his daughters, Abraham lied and committed adultery with his servant, David was a murderer and adulterer, and the rest mentioned in the Old Testament were not any better, affirmed the Cathars. For them, the law that Jehovah announced to the Jews through Moses was of satanic inspiration, and if it contained some good things (for example, the seventh commandment), it was in order to gain some hearty souls for the cause of Evil.

A divinity who reveals himself in a burning bush to a man -- Moses -- cannot be "God" because God is Spirit and does not reveal Himself to mortals in a physical manner. Jehovah is not God. He is the Anti-Christ; he is Lucifer.

[END QUOTING]

Unless one is completely brainwashed or braindead, even a cursory look at the two books of the Bible will present a significant dilemma. How can the vengeful, bloodthirsty, jealous god of the Old Testament be the same as the benevolent, forgiving, loving "Father" that the Christ speaks of in the New Testament? How do we reconcile this?

We don't. There is no way to reconcile the two because they are completely different entities. The fact that the organized church turns a blind eye to this, the fact that its clergy sidesteps the issue while continuing to mislead their "flock" is proof that the organized church on Earth is under the aegis of "the prince of this world", Lucifer.

For having the termity, the gall, to exercise independent thinking and the use of common damn sense to expose the lie of the Old Testament, the Cathars were slandered, persecuted and eventually exterminated by the Crusade that your history books never talk about -- the Albigensian Crusade (1209-1255).

The Doctrine Of "The Pure Ones"

Note 1: Divine Love bears no relation to the degenerated human "love" that is venerated in this fallen world. Human "love" is lustful, selfish, possessive, conditional. Divine Love has nothing to do with desire or emotion. Divine Love, the Love of the Creator, is a universal, omnipresent, omnipotent, all-powerful force whose characteristics are unlimited, absolute and pure. This is why it has always been stated that 'God is Love' .

Note 2: The Cathars (the word "Cathar" means "pure one") were the preceding gnostic brotherhood on earth who lived in the South of France over 700 years ago. Their pure doctrine was deemed "heretical" by the Roman Church, who ordered them exterminated. Thus, the Albigensian Crusades came into being. Tens of thousands of Cathars and their supporters were burned at the stake, walled up in caves, or massacred in the thousands by the marauding, blood-thirsty "Army of the Pope". Although the Church succeeded in eradicating the physical threat, they failed miserably in their true aim, which was to eradicate the presence of the Gnosis on earth.

The fact that we are here today is proof positive that Gnosis, the "True Knowledge of God" can never be exterminated.

[QUOTING]

The Occitan Cathars taught that God is Spirit. For all eternity, Love is absolute, perfect in itself, immutable (unchangeable), eternal and just. Nothing evil or transitory can exist in it or come from it. Consequently, its works can only be perfect, immutable, eternal, just and good, as pure in the end as the Fountain from which they flow.

If we contemplate this world, its imperfection, impermanence, and changeability are self-evident. The matter from which it is made is perishable and is the cause of innumerable evils and sufferings. This matter of life contains within it the principle of death, a death from which no man can escape.

Out of this opposition between imperfect matter and God's perfection, between a world full of misery and a God who is Love Itself, between creatures who are born only to die and a God who is eternal life, the Cathars came to the conclusion that an incompatibility exists between what is perfect and what isn't. Don't the foundations of modern philosophy establish the principle of cause and effect? If the cause is Immutable, so are its effects. Consequently, a being with a contradictory nature could not have created the terrestrial world and its creatures.

If the Creation is the work of a good God, why did He not make it perfect like Himself? And if he wanted to make it perfect and couldn't, it is obvious that He is neither all-powerful or perfect. If He could have made it perfect and didn't want to, he would be in conflict with the perfection of Love. Consequently, for the Cathars, God did not create the terrestrial world.

If so many things that happen in this world have nothing to do with Divine Providence and the will of God, then how do we believe that God is happy with so much disorder and confusion? And how to explain that all the creatures whose only purpose is to disturb and torture mankind come from a creator who is pure kindness for man? How can the fires and floods that destroy crops and cause the death of so many people or destroy the shacks of the poor be ascribed to this God? A God who is used by our enemies to justify our destruction, we who only wish for and seek the Truth? Such were the thoughts of the Albigensian Cathars.

And how could a perfect God give man a body whose ultimate destiny is death after having been tortured with all kinds of evils?

The Cathars saw far too much intent in visible creation to somehow deny it an intelligent origin. From the analogous principle of cause and effect, they deduced that bad effects came from bad causes and that our world, which could never have been created by a good God, had to have as its creator a bad principle. This dualist system bases itself in the fundamental opposition between Good and Evil. The Cathars believed that Evil was really nothing other than the negation, or absence, of Good.

When the devil tempted Christ -- "All these things I will give you if you fall down and worship me" -- how could he offer it if it did not already belong to him? And how could it belong to him if he wasn't its creator? When John the Evangelist  speaks of "the children of God that are not born of flesh and blood," from whom do the children of flesh and blood come? Are not these children from another creator -- the "devil" -- who according to Christ's own words is "their Father"?

"Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the Father of it....He that is of God heareth God's words; ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God" John 8:44, 47

For the Cathars, all passages of the New Testament that mention the Devil, or the fight between the flesh and the Spirit, or the old man who should be cast out (to make way for the New Man), or the world submerged in sin and darkness, were sufficient to demonstrate the antithesis between God, whose kingdom is not-of-this-Earth, and the true prince of this world, Lucifer.

The Kingdom of God is the invisible world, absolutely good and perfect, the world of Light: the Eternal City.

God is the "Creator" of all things, because "to create" signifies producing something that did not exist before. He also created matter, which before was non-existent. He created it from nothing*, but only from principle. It was Lucifer, himself a creature of God, who gave "shape" to matter; this was his principle.

Who is the cause of this world? Can you resolve this question?

*g: this sentence fragment is in error, for there is no such thing as "nothing". There is no empty space. All matter was created from God, The All. Think upon it. If God is The All, then where would He find "other" material to create with? The existence of some "other" sort of matter would mean that God is not The All, because there would be something that exists which is outside of God. Therefore, in order for the sentence to be more in line with truth, it should read: "He created it from Himself" If we take this one step further, we can conclude that God essentially permeates all matter, whether subtle or gross. The essence of the Divine is within every created thing, however these creations are not completely conscious of their innate Divinity).

The "God-Shaped Vacuum"

"There is a God shaped vacuum in the heart of every man which cannot be filled by any created thing, but only by God, the Creator, made known through the Christ.” - Blaise Pascal , 17th century

That "God-shaped vacuum" is the divine-spark of the heart. It is the tiny spirit-spark atom composed of divine material not-of-this-world. This is the only part of the Divine that is within us. It is the seed from which the Immortal Other One can emerge, if, through self-surrender, neutralization of desire and not-being, we allow this Transformation to take place.

The Power of the Divine Touch - Conclusion

[QUOTING]

This twofold activity of the Divine Light is of enormous significance in your life. It is of such absolute significance that all of your life's experiences can be explained thereby. Every page in your book of life is written by these influences. It accounts for your particular situation as a pupil, as a worker, as a man or a woman, your relationship to others and to society. It is clear that you, as a pupil of the Spiritual School, open yourself to mighty activity of the twofold Light of God. Just as you reflect ordinary sunlight by a concave mirror and focus is thereby formed by the mirror, so is this School a focus for the Light of God.

To the extent to which this mirror is more finely polished, gradually yielding a better and better  focus, and the whole reflection system is constantly improved step by step, the spirit-spark atom within you will be moved, attracted and called with ever-increasing force. Simultaneously, and this is the second gift of the Spiritual School, the state of being moved and calling is explained to you, spelled out as it were. Thus the pupil knows what the infrared Divine Light requires of him, why it calls him and what it enables him to do.

Enable him? Certainly, and in a direct way, because the infrared Light of God is accompanied by the ultraviolet radiation potential. This means that the pupil willing to tread the paths of God discovers that the divine ultraviolet radiation removes all difficulties and barriers for him at the appropriate moment. This power of Christ clears the way for him, to such an extent that the pupil "need not trip over a single stone".

"He who calls you is faithful", as the Bible says, "and He will carry it through, too". Thus the call to the Path at the same time implies the possibility of treading it. Therefore, the prologue in John's Gospel states with great certainty:

"To all who receive Him, He gives the power to become children of God again".

Now you will understand why those who know about these things can state with certainty: the power of The Call is simultaneously the power that clears the way.

Let us now consider the case of the pupil who, by virtue of his pupilship and by virtue of his presence in the power-field of the School, is attracted and called with great intensity but is not prepared to break, who is not prepared to break with that which must be broken up and is not willing to abandon that which must be relinquished. In spite of all that is said to him, this pupil holds on tenaciously to a great deal of delusion which, in the course of many incarnations and by means of thoughts and feelings, has become a supposed reality to him.

What happens then? When a true pupil reacts harmoniously to the calling aspect, he likewise reacts harmoniously to the shattering aspect of the intervention of Christ. Then the Path will be smooth for him. However, should a pupil react harmoniously to the calling aspect, but not to the shattering one, then both influences will have a disharmonious effect in his life. This is obvious! Then a series of difficulties arises, fruitless efforts, endless worries, an inner strife, loneliness and sadness and the entire pit of vipers in which he is then ensnared. By no means are these afflictions caused by the Gnosis: we scourge ourselves with the whip of the dualistic zealot and in this state, there is no one that can help us, for we ourselves must break the scourge of the zealot.

An unbounded happiness awaits you! You are called to belong to the people of God but keep yourself here in pain and misery. Can you imagine a more unintelligent way of life?

You should not take these remarks as a sermon or as a call, because you have already been called a long, long time ago! Our call is but a very faint echo of Eternal Reality. No, we talk with you about these things because the time has come! The prophesying phase is over. The preparatory stage has passed. We have entered the period of realization! The multitude of those who wish to join this group -- and this word is spoken to those who can join -- should make haste for highly urgent, scientific reasons.

We have already mentioned that besides the twofold radiation of the solar-field of Christ there also exists a twofold radiation power of the dualistic nature. The infrared light of this nature attacks and breaks up everything that resists the "I". In this way duality develops: formation, flourishing and wasting away (rising, shining and fading), eating only to be eaten. So this natural radiation field exhibits a degenerative development, while the Radiation-Field of Christ causes an expanding, regenerative development. This means that the two fields are exposed to a change of vibration in mutual opposition: the distance between these two fields becomes greater and greater.

It is clear that a moment will come when an entity existing in one field cannot possibly cross over to the other. The difference between the two fields, originally fundamental and qualitative, ultimately becomes so great structurally, and the entities manifesting themselves in the two fields so different biologically that, from a certain moment on, a person belonging to the dualistic field can no longer reconcile himself, link himself to the field of Christ. Such a tragic situation always develops at the end of a period of mankind's history. It is clear that a person called by the field of Christ but clinging to duality cannot serve two masters: he will be broken away from the field of Christ; he does it to himself.

The time has come for this process of breaking away to take shape in the world: a great cleavage is building up. The word "Christ" will vanish from the lips of all those who do not belong to the field of Christ. They will be unmasked and recognized by all,

The remainder, the serious seekers as yet still have the choice in their own hands, if they but take leave resolutely and promptly of their own brokenness and fully entrust themselves to the Radiation Field of Christ. Then the song of the ancients will apply to them as well:

"Though you have lain among the pots, yet shall ye be as the wings of a dove covered with silver, and her feathers with yellow gold."

"For He will give His angels charge over you to guard you in all your ways. On their hands they will bear you up, lest you dash your foot against a stone".

Pupils of the Rosycross, act intelligently: build upon the Everlasting Cornerstone rejected by the masons of this world, and thus celebrate with us, the coming Day of the Lord!

[END QUOTING]

Those who think that the fore-going is about "religion" are in danger of missing the boat. This is not about "religion", it is about a known process, a path of evolution known to the ancients, forgotten by modern man and now being revealed once more. The Path of Return is a living process in which certain organs of the physical body and the force-centers connected with them cooperate with ever-present Divine energies in order to transfigure the personality and liberate the microcosm.

Those who remain attached to duality, who cannot imagine ever leaving good ol' Earth, or discarding their beloved physical body, or releasing their emotional ties to people, places and things of this fallen world, will not be able to take the first step towards Liberation. Why is that so? Because even though the Remedy we seek is all around us, the power the Christine radiations cannot help us unless we choose to seek it out and open our hearts to it.

There are perhaps many who are not aware that such a great Cosmic power actually exists that can transform a human into an immortal. Well, for those who have read this, non-awareness is no longer possible. This writer can personally vouch for the existence and the efficiency of this process. What is left to you now is a decision. The Great Separation that is upon us will be a two-way split. Either we choose the New Life Field, or perish (as a personality, not as a microcosm) with the old. No middle-ground, no undecideds.

Mankind has reached the Gate of Choice. When the gate swings shut, may you be found on the side of New Life.

The Power of the Divine Touch - Part I

[QUOTING]

A new human race has been born in the world! A new people is emerging, the promised people, the people of the Lord, the people of God!

The prophesying stage with reference to this happening has now come to an end as we have entered the period of more or less extensive realization. This is why we no longer speak in an introductory sense, but must now explain the course of these events, so that you can take into account all relevant factors and integrate them into your life. This is how you should understand 'marching into the promised land'. It does not mean that you should change your place of residence, but that you prepare to form part of the new group of men and women! You will thus understand that there is much to discuss, consider and carefully study.

First of all, we have to broach an old subject discussed at length in our ranks by stating that Christ is not a hierophant of majestic stature residing somewhere outside the dense material world, but is first of all an impersonal, limitless Being, manifesting Himself as Light, as Power, as a mighty Radiation-Field. This radiation-field of Christ which has appeared among us, giving no rest or peace to this dark world-order, exerts a great influence, or rather, a whole series of influences.

Modern man is well aware of the fact that radiation invisible to the eye can exert such a great influence. In the medical world, in military technology and in many laboratories, experiments are now being conducted with invisible rays.

Well, there is a radiation that has a detaching effect, and there is a radiation that might be considered as drawing or attracting. The first group is called the ultraviolet and the second, infrared. The Radiation-Field of Christ, being complete in itself, contains a complete spectrum and can hence be envisioned as a Sun, an invisible Solar body, the radiation and influences of which must be both attaching and detaching. The following explanation may give you a picture of the agency of these two different, yet harmoniously interacting influences and forces of the Radiation-Field of Christ.

The attracting or infrared light of the Divine Sun touches you at a given moment. Now, when your heart-sanctuary is of a special nature, referred to in our philosophy as the nature of a spirit-spark entity, meaning that there is a spirit-spark atom in your right heart ventricle, then you will react to the attracting Light; in fact, you will be obliged to react. The ordinary consciousness does not know of this; the "I" will even spontaneously oppose it and give rise to various caricatural utterances; it will, however, together with your whole being, be dragged along in a torrent of reaction. The entire human being will thus be subjected to a whole series of experiences, due to the fact of having been struck by the infra-red light-wave of the Divine Sun. Millions of men and women in this world personally know these intense disquietings and the inexplicable experiences resulting from them.

The fact that man is literally attracted by this Light-wave explains why the mystical language speaks of 'calling'. This infrared impulse, this attracting Light is indeed a Call. You must know, however, that there is both an earthly, natural infrared and an infrared from the Divine Sun! When God calls you, He touches you with that Light!

If, when called, one does not feel this disquieting, the continuous inner tumult, one can be sure that it was not the Divine infrared by which one was struck. It was the calling of a purely dualistic influence in harmony with the ordinary I-being and in no way capable of touching the spirit-spark atom.

When we are called by the true spiritual Sun, and follow the call, we simultaneously have to leave something behind, because the attracting infrared is always accompanied by the detaching ultraviolet. This is the meaning of the words:

"Go, sell what you possess, and follow Me".

This is the meaning of 'cornerstone freemasonry'. Whoever wishes to build on the 'cornerstone' - the Light of the Divine Sun - must take into consideration both effects of this Light: the destructive and the constructive; both loss and gain!

Transfiguration, the process of transmutation by which man is converted from caterpillar to butterfly, is a real process. It is attainable by all who possess the spirit-spark atom within their hearts, the divine spark.

Because we are constantly surrounded by the Radiation-Field of the Christ, we are constantly being 'called'. However, if our divine-spark is closed off, still in the rosebud state, we will not react to this Call. It is only when we adopt the quality of faith and open ourselves up to this mighty, Divine Touch that the process can begin. The Rose will begin to open. We can then take our first tottering steps upon the Path of Return.

** Unmasking **

[QUOTING]

Impelled by the great seriousness of our present time and truly desiring to help mankind to the best  of our ability, we hereby send into the world a series of treatises doing away with the veils of appearances which, in this our illusioned existence, usually hide the reality of things from our eyes. They are intended as a serious warning and a helping guide for everyone who, on seeing the signs, in repentance and inner ripening, wishes to take account of his responsibility towards God and suffering humanity.

This publication, at places, speaks of a young gnostic Brotherhood and of the New Gnostic Kingdom which it established, an unassailable Tower of Light and Love as a help and a solace in this world of darkness and death. Though they are the reality from which we speak and witness, and they enable us to spread our Message of the Living Truth to all, we feel that here we should not explain the meaning thereof. We refer those readers, who are interested, to the extensive essays in the literature of the Modern Spiritual School of the Golden Rosycross.

However, the full weight of the motives which induced us to this publication lies in the absolute necessity of voicing an urgent warning with regard to coming inevitabilities to which the blind course of life of this mankind has led; and of spectacular events in the near future which are narrowly connected herewith and mean an acute danger of extreme importance for the whole of humanity.

By this still early appeal, may many, many people be saved from the fatal grip of the coming Great Delusion and timely start on the Only Path of Liberation.

There is going to be staged, in the near future, no more or no less than a staged Return of the Christ.

If you are not prepared for the events that are scheduled to take place, you will risk being taken in by the Great Play, which will appear unbelievably and stupendously real.

Unmasking was written in 1956 as a loving attempt to warn this generation of the deception that is being planned for humanity.

Re: Self-Realization

Hopefully in reading the last two posts, the following did not pass by  un-noticed:

Original Man was a self-generating entity.

The import of this cannot be under-stated. The original microcosm, with its divine central nucleus, was able to generate a human form at will, when desired. This central principle has come to be known as the divine-spark. Although we are mortal, we still retain this divine spirit-spark atom, which is located in the mathematical center of our microcosm, a position which corresponds with the upper right ventricle of the physical human heart. This divine-spark, this dynamo of self-generation, retains all of the power that it possessed in the primordial past, prior to The Fall. However, this power has been closed off, buried, suppressed under the crushing, gross vibrations of the dense physical plane. We call this spark The Rosebud, to symbolize the potential of the Rose that sleeps within tightly closed petals, waiting for the Divine Sun to shine upon it.

It is our task, as temporary personalities, as image-bearers of the Original Man, to re-awaken this spark so that it can shine its Light anew. If we can fan this slumbering ember into a flame, if we can coax the Rosebud into blooming, we will be on the Path to returning this microcosm to the Original Man, the True Man. As we decrease, this Other One will increase. The power of the Rose will grow stronger until, at a given moment, the self-generating capacity that was its divine birthright will resume its activity.

Then the True Man will be re-born! The mortal personality will cease to exist, to be replaced by a glorified Personality of divine stature. And we, brothers and sisters, as our reward for accomplishing the Great Work, shall share in that glorification . For, by making it possible for the Other One to regain its former glory, we shall attain Eternity as well!

Just wanted to run that by you. Sometimes, these things get overlooked.

all love,

The Soul And The Word - Part II

"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God" John 1:1

[QUOTING]

There are two mighty faculties that are capable of turning your pupilship into candidateship, and that can lead you to victory. They do not need to be conferred upon you, they do not need to be introduced into your system, because they already belong to the system of your monad. However, you yourself  have to release them. Then they will lead you irresistibly to the Ultimate Goal. These two immortal faculties are to be found in the nucleus, the divine-spark of the microcosm. The first is what the prologue of the gospel according to John calls the Word. It is the divine idea, radiated by the Logos throughout eternity. The second is the radiation of the nucleus that corresponds to the divine idea.

By making the heart still, by withdrawing it from all conflict and causing it to enter a state of deep peace, you make the heart sanctuary open for the Soul, the harmonious influx of the light of the monad. When you are vivified by this light, there will be a number of wonderful results, and when these are manifested, one will be able to speak of pupilship in the true sense. Then it will be possible to speak, genuinely and literally, of a deep connection between the Soul and the personality. Then the foundation for restoration, the foundation for transfiguration, will have been laid.

And then the second faculty will be added: the Word. The throat chakra will then function in your system  in a new way and with an increasing intensity. The nerve-centre in your throat will concentrate the new light-power, which needs to be applied by means of the voice.

Consider this wonder: anyone who frees the basis-faculty, the new soul-state, within his being, surrendering the whole heart to the Gnosis and living out of that state, will gain a new, grandiose creative faculty: the Word, with the aid of which all the forces controlling the system can be applied or, if they are harmful, neutralized and eliminated.

Every pupil will receive these two faculties, if only you will withdraw from the conflict of the heart; if only you are willing to enter the profound peace of Bethlehem and eradicate the anarchy of the voice. If only you are willing to use your voice in the proper way, and to overcome the cry of the animal, then the new heaven-earth will open up for you in true, applied pupilship.

This is where detachment and objectivity can assist in the process. By neutralizing our desires, our likes and dislikes, our preferences and our aversions, we still the heart, which is the center of our desire activity. This allows the subtle vibrations of the Gnosis to gain a foothold in the heart sanctuary, where the divine-spark resides. Unencumbered by the usual clang and rattle of our randomly-changing wishes and desires, our spirit-spark atom can finally respond to this divine touch and propel us onto the Path of Return.

The Soul And The Word

Important information on the nature of the divine-spark and its function ~ g

[QUOTING]

"The Word is the image and the Soul of God, the Idea is the image of the Soul, and the Body is the image of the Idea" Corpus Hermeticum, Book Thirteen

In these words of Hermes, and all that follows in the thirteenth book, lies the key to Transfiguration, which has to be brought about  by the candidate in the gnostic mysteries himself with the aid of his two immortal faculties, the Soul and the Word.

We have discussed these two divine faculties and pointed out the way they can be awakened and unleashed. There is not a single entity who could walk the path of true liberation without them. To gain a clear understanding of the significance of these two faculties, you should begin by investigating the microcosm.

The mighty ideation-power of the Logos, the omnipresent and all-pervading One, projects itself into what we call "space". Space, as the true classical Rosicrucians state, is not empty: 'There is no empty space'. Space is filled with primordial substance. When the divine idea relating to God's plan for his creature, man, is radiated into space, the microcosm comes into being. You could think of a concentration of primordial substance, of atoms. Initially, the microcosm is the not-yet-embodied monad, a concentration of primordial substance formed as a result of a magnetic principle. The classical Rosicrucians sometimes called such a light-emitting principle a spark, the divine-spark. This spark is the nucleus of the monad, and from it a radiation emanates, which gives rise to a sevenfold rotation, a sevenfold magnetic field. With the radiation of this spark as its centre, the surrounding magnetic field then becomes a microcosmic field of creation. It is within this field that the great process of self-realization has to take place.

The time comes when a manifestation, a form, a body develops in the microcosmic field of creation. This manifestation is, to put it in hermetic language, the image, the sculpture, the expression of the vivifying radiation of the microcosmic nucleus (the divine-spark). This radiation is in keeping with the idea of the Logos. Hence the words of verse 26: The body is the image of the idea. The idea is manifested via the Soul, the Soul is manifested through the nuclear principle (the divine-spark), while the nucleus in turn is an image of the Godhead. And in verse 27 Hermes says:

"So the most subtle part of matter is the air or primordial substance, the most subtle part of the Soul is the Spirit, and the most subtle part of Spirit is God"

So, in the primordial past, millions and millions of years ago, man was a self-manifesting entity in the absolute sense of the word. Through the radiation of the nucleus of the monad, a glorious Personality was manifested in the creation-field of the monad as a pure image, a pure idea of the Godhead. This entity was equipped with mighty talents that enabled it to act and fulfill a task within the All.

But a group of these entities became involved in a process known as 'the Fall', a process we would like to discuss with you in more detail later. One of the results was that the bodies, the images of the divine idea, crystallized. The bodies became increasingly dense until finally the moment came when an incident occurred, involving the radiation of the divine-spark on the one hand and the crystallizing bodies on the other. In the end, it was no longer possible for this radiation to provide these bodies with sufficient energy. It was then that the process we know as death first appeared. The discarded crystallization were replaced by new manifestations, for the radiation of the divine-spark went on performing its task. Time and time again, a new form appeared in the microcosm. That is why there are myths which state that in the beginning, man was an androgynous being, a male-female being, a hermaphrodite.

"So God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created them. Male and female He created them." Genesis 1:27

(g: and now you have the true meaning of the above verse from Genesis)

This condition could not last, however. A human projection that constantly functions in opposition to its nature will ultimately give rise to an intense conflict, and in this instance it could not be withstood by the radiation of the microcosmic nucleus. Thus it could no longer express itself in the personality, which, at that time lived much longer than it does now, and was almost entirely of an astral-etheric nature. When this incident between the radiation of the divine-spark and the increasingly solidifying personality reached its culmination, the separation of the sexes occurred, so that the personality could be maintained by means of sexual intercourse. From then on, the process of birth was necessary, and the relationships were reversed: disembodied, emptied microcosms were given the opportunity, through the birth of new personalities, to envelop the latter during their birth in nature so that, if at all possible, the age-old process could be restored and death could be abolished. So when a personality is born, it is simultaneously brought into contact with a microcosm. The aim of re-establishing this connection between the personality and microcosm is to restore the Original condition and to bring the Original, Immortal Human Being back into manifestation, in keeping with the idea of the microcosmic radiation.

From "The Two Immortal Faculties" - The Egyptian Arch-Gnosis IV - Jan van Rijckenborgh

[END QUOTING]

Man was once able to self-generate his form, via the agency of the divine-spark. As long as the body, the form, the image of the idea, remained aligned with the will of the Spirit, this self-generative process stayed in place and death, as we know it, was unknown.

When man became self-willed, and began to reject the promptings of the Spirit, the body, the image-bearer, began to interfere with the ability of the divine-spark to do its job. Eventually the divine-spark lost its effectiveness, which is what happens when any mechanism falls into disuse.

We are here today as personalities in yet another attempt by our microcosm to re-establish the original order of things. To do so, the divine-spark must be re-awakened. It is like a rusted generator in need of a little oil, or a burning ember in need of kindling and nurturing. To be successful in our appointed task, we must follow the appropriate steps of the Fivefold Universal Gnosis:

liberating insight,
yearning for salvation,
self-surrender, 
a new attitude of life and
resurrection in the New Field of Life

Only then will we be able to restore our microcosm to its former pristine Glory and once again consciously share in its Eternal Life. If we fail, the physical death process will be our only reward. This means another trip to the reflection-sphere where the present personality will be gradually dissolved and a new one inserted in its place to take up where we left off. The nature-born personalities may change, but the Tasks will remain the same:

Awakening of the divine-spark.
Transmutation of the personality.
Transfiguration of the body.
Final Liberation of the Spirit-Soul-Body tri-unity from its prison of Matter.

Retraction

Decided to permanently retract the last post (Witness To Reality). This writer's back-story is not what is important here. Apologies for that piece of self-indulgence.

Prophet? Or Witness?

[QUOTING]

Imagine that you witness a house being built from  an invisible substance; that you know for which purpose it is being built, and that you know who the inhabitants of that house will be, while we, due to our state-of-being, are unfamiliar with all these facts. You begin telling us about it while we existentially know nothing, see nothing, hear nothing of it. We would then either think you a fool or a dreamer, or, if we respect you, call you a prophet (of dualistic, not divine, calibre). Yet, what you tell us would not be a dualistic speculative prophecy , for you speak and state from reality. Just as you see these things from your reality, we do not see them from ours. From our reality, we cannot possibly see what you perceive.

A prophet as we have described him or her is not a speculator of the future but a witness of reality. Which reality do we mean here?

This reality: the New Magnetic Field of which we now emphatically speak, was once constructed over thousands of years. In the course of the ages, at the approaching of a time of Harvest, it must be animated anew, do its work and, when the harvest time has passed, it must, as it were, be drawn up again. Every spiritual school appearing in time prepares by its work, its diligence and its sacrifice, a part of that magnetic field, so that this field becomes more and more powerful, magnificent and dynamic.

In this present day of manifestation, the first brotherhood had the greatest difficulties, for it really had to do pioneer work. In order for the work to succeed, the brotherhood was formed from a great number of those sent forth (see: "The Sent Ones"), who had earlier achieved Liberation; it is the group alluded to as the Brotherhood of Shamballa. The second brotherhood was far better off, as it could continue to build upon the foundations laid by the first brotherhood and could, moreover, reckon on the help of this first pioneer brotherhood. The work went on like this till more recent times, which were marked by the appearance of Egyptian, Indian and Chinese brotherhoods, as well as the Essenes, Manicheans and other gnostics, and finally by the Druids, Cathars, the classical Rosicrucians of the seventeenth century and the Rosicrucians of modern times. Each of these groups contributed something to The Great Work. Each of them wove part of the seamless garment of Jesus Christ. Each of them prepared and cooperated with the Great Magnetic Field.

Now, if you understand something of this reality, are you then a  medium or an astrologer? Have so-called initiates  then suggested something to you? Are you then a  prophet in the negative sense? Or do you bear witness from your own scientific certainty? When you see the Seamless Garment being woven, when you observe a new magnetic purity gradually spreading its glory over the world and when you perceive that its dynamic powers are constantly increasing, is it then negatively prophetic to say: 'There will come a day when the results will reveal themselves and make themselves apparent'? When this day and that hour will be, 'nobody knows', so says the Bible, for there are always factors yet to be born. But he who understands, the seer, has this certainty: this glorious day will come! So, if you can accept these conclusions, you are placing yourself on the ground of a scientific reality.

It is therefore not prophetic speculation when the Confessio Fraternititatis says:

'One thing, o mortals, is established here by us, namely: that God has decided that before its end, the world will be presented with a stream of Truth, Light and Greatness, such as He ordained should accompany Adam in Paradise!'.

And when von Eckhartshausen repeatedly spoke of 'the re-erection of the Building' in the early 19th century, he spoke from a very deep, inner knowledge. He testified out of the revelation of the sons of God, out of the revelation of the Holy Spirit. He saw the Magnetic Field in development and knew that this Field touched him, that he was a part of it.

Each of us can now attain this same Knowledge, for the field of radiation which the ancient prophets mention, surrounds us all as a 'seamless garment'. It has now become so powerful, the glow of the New Era so intense that, when you open your microcosm to this touch, you immediately notice and experience this radiation-power, and immediately you enter the essence of both natures.

When you open your being, your microcosm, to this wondrous New Field of Life, then this radiation power will touch your heart atom, set your whole being aglow and lead you into a new process, a process of Transmutation and Transfiguration.

The Gnosis cannot be learned, bequeathed or bestowed. It can only be experienced. It must first be sought. When found, it must be lived. The Path of Return, the Endura, Transmutation, Transfiguration, these forgotten realities are scoffed at by the man of the masses because the 'proof' he requires to believe in such things is lacking. The servants of the Gnosis do not offer man concrete evidence of the existence of a Divine Kingdom. How can a nature-order that is not-of-this-world be proven in this material world? We offer only Truth without proof. It is the man or woman who, depending upon their level of ability to "remember" will decide whether to grasp that slender thread of Truth and begin their walk to Freedom, or turn away dismissively, slamming the door shut on the reality of Eternal Life.

An Interval Of Non-Time - Conclusion

[QUOTING]

To those of the human race who have turned themselves in to the will of God, the coming interval of non-time will literally expand into eternity. These individuals will be able to experience a lifetime or many lifetimes, in that eternity, while still retaining the option to return to their physical projections as transformed representatives of the Being of Life o n Earth. These will be our workers during the period of Planetary Awakening -- please, I hope you ones read this very carefully. Some of you cannot drift upon the currents but must come quickly into Knowledge.

Others, not so finely tuned to the Forces that will be released at that time, will feel great surges of energy, lasting for an indeterminate period. Some few will experience intense fear and many, dear ones, shall die. Everything in physical form at this time, every soul in every kingdom, will feel something, something incredible, something that according to all the laws of physics ever known or ever to be discovered, could never happen. But there it will be before all senses; an impossible fact, like the babe in the manger, like the unmistakable feeling in your heart, an incredible vibration of Truth and Love, shimmering, scintillating, awakening every nerve, every capillary, every cell of your planetary body.

Whether the individual form identity reading these words right now will be a surviving participant in that event depends upon that with which you identify and how gracefully you are able to align yourself with God's creative definition. If you can identify with the flow of Life though your essential Planetary Being and release all subjective definitions of who you think you are, you will be able to play your part most joyously in the birthday celebration.  God's definition of you in form is much greater than you could possibly imagine for yourself. During this present period of Individual Awakening, the first of three creative periods, you are being given the opportunity to embrace this true definition as the cornerstone of your existence.

On the morning of Creation, you will recognize the Unified Collective Consciousness of all Humankind as your own true identity. You will know beyond a shadow of a doubt that you are the bridge between Spirit and Matter, between Creator and Creation, between Life and the forms through which Life flows. If you release the definitions that Matter has set upon you, this is the definition that the Creator will bestow, the definition of Christ Himself!

At this time in your experience, most of you are simply not yet ready to enter into a closer working relationship with us but we will prepare you, during the coming years of revolutions of your planet around the Sun for the time when your collective vibrational patterns are such that we can blend with them on a very large scale.

We are still experimenting with various ways and means of accomplishing our task of awakening but with the increasing ease of direct informational exchange (g: the internet) our work within the currents of your history will probably subside. We hope it will not be necessary to shake you out of your exclusive past-future oriented focus on form through any of the cataclysmic events foretold in your various prophecies. We will use these if we must in order to preserve the biosphere of this planet but if you follow through on the information we are clarifying, there is no reason why we should have to resort to such extreme measures. Through these transmission and many others like them throughout the Earth, we are supplying you with more than enough information to enable you to restore your own equilibrium.

We are allowing a certain amount of ecological destruction to take place without direct interference because such destruction may help to precipitate a voluntary and cooperative return to a pre-Fall state. You must come to understand that you structure these things yourself and not of outside doing. This would be far more meaningful than a Return that is forced upon you. A self-initiated awakening  will really enhance your ability to restore Earth's ecological harmony. Consequently, we are confining our help as much as it is possible to the providing of information and to the development of conceptual clarity.

Meanwhile, there are many among you who will, as time passes, experience one by one the necessary psychological transformation and enter into a conscious working relationship with those of us in a state of grace. May we abide together, you and us, that clarity becomes our focus and ability to comprehend is granted through the grace of Creator. It is a joy to share in this wondrous experience upon the waves of the universe. Salu.

Hatonn to stand-by.

Although our inter-planetary brothers are awaiting the time when they will be able, once again, to work closely in the physical with humanity, it is important to remember that mankind has work to do. Nothing will be done for man during this ending-cycle. We must prepare ourselves. We must make the choice to re-align our focus away from the material. We must do the work of de-activating our I-being and purifying our fourfold personality vehicle. Individually and collectively, a portion of humanity can and will celebrate the Birth of a New World. However, in order to be assured of inclusion in the New Race, the individual must endeavor to find out what is required and to then do what is necessary.

An Interval Of Non-Time

[QUOTING]

When the universe reaches a point of maximum expansion, a unique phenomenon will take place. There will be a moment when all laws necessary for the creative maintenance of physical matter and all materializing processes become suspended. Due to the relative velocities of the various star systems, this event will not be experienced simultaneously in all parts of the universe, but will travel as a wave across the sea of creation.

Existing within this ripple of non-time will be the focused conscious attention of the Creator. As It passes through the material realms, It will stay and take up residence in all life forms with circuitry capable of mirroring Its essence. This is the moment when the Creator will slip inside Creation; the moment for which we are trying to prepare you.

This is the much-misunderstood "Second Coming of Christianity". It is the event that primitive civilizations have looked forward to as "the return of the gods". The Mayans went so far as to pinpoint its actual occurrence in what you would call the year 2011 A.D. Yet, while many of your traditions hint at what is about to transpire, none of them have adequately conveyed the magnitude of impact such an event will have.  Indeed, no single conceptual structure is capable of conveying the enormity of what is soon to take place. What is actually happening requires all of biological life to convey its meaning.

Words can symbolize this but hardly portray it fully enough to stand alone. If you would know the deepest Truth of scripture, look not to words but to the great momentum of spirit within your own soul. This is where the living history is being made. In a way that would be impossible for your rational intellect to comprehend, this forthcoming event is human history. The sum total of all that has happened on your planet is but the shadow cast before.

In a very real sense, you have not yet been born. You are still in an embryonic state. You have yet to receive the touch of God's total definition. Through the long years of human history on Earth, your species has been forming the cells that are to comprise the directive aspect  of the physical body of the Creator within Creation. Gestation upon this planet has but set the stage for the emergence of the Planetary Being now taking definite form. This Planetary Being is actually "who you are".

You are living in the shadow of an event not yet taken place.

What you have considered to be history, or, in other terms, the evolution of the species, is only what you have been able to observe through the distorted medium of a fragmented and quite subjective intelligence, trapped within the past-future orientation of linear time. From such a perspective, the act of Creation could appear as a progressive, sequential process. To the extent that you are able to identify with the spirit that gives you consciousness however, it becomes a much simpler matter: you have yet to arrive. You are still "on your way", so to speak. Sitting there reading these words is only a reflection of your unconscious totality as it prepares to become fully revealed on the Day of Awakening.

Your real life will begin when the Creator gives you His definition in form. When the Father's center merges with the center of the Earth, the collectivity of human consciousness will awaken to a unified field identity. You will be born. After that, the influence of Matter will not affect your consciousness as dominantly as it did during the historical gestation period. The Earth will continue to suckle the species for another thousand years before you are capable of going off on your own, but even during that period, the Father's influence will be much greater than it is today.

As a collective event, the moment of birth is still a generation away (g: written in November 1990). But individually speaking, this event transcends the limits of space and time and is, in fact, already under way. Your individual birth will take place at the precise moment in linear time when you stop struggling with your rational fear-patterns and let yourself go in the divine dance of Inner Direction. You must decide whether you are going to accept the inevitable in a state of love and prepare yourself accordingly, or hold on in fear until the bitter end. Ultimately, these are the only two avenues of response. By the linear time this event has taken place, humanity will be polarized  according to these two adaptive patterns. All will be decidedly in one camp or another.

Humanity has reached the Great Turning Point. All that has gone before, millions of years of involution, have served to prepare mankind for this interval of non-time, this Great Moment of Awakening, where Creation pauses prior to commencing its upward, evolutionary arc. This Great Moment is now upon us.

Prepare Ye.

"Blessed Are..."

[QUOTING]

"Blessed are the poor in Spirit, for theirs is the Kingdom on Heaven"

'And seeing the multitudes, Jesus went up on the mountain, and when he sat down his disciples came to Him'.

As you know, the Sermon on the Mount begins this way. We find this Sermon in the Gospel according to Matthew but also, in various forms, in the Holy Scriptures of all times. Even though the place and time and the Holy Personages who proclaimed it varied considerably, its meaning did not. The mountain is a magnificent symbol illustrating the Path leading from the darkness to the Light. The base of the mountain is planted firmly in the earth;  the peak rises into heaven. Therefore, it is clear that such a mountain, from whose peak the word of Liberation shall be heard is, above all else, a symbol of the sevenfold Living Body of a gnostic development.

Jesus the Lord, the exalted One, the perfect One, the liberated Brother who addresses the multitude present in the Living Body is in fact preparing to speak to his disciples. One meaning of the word 'disciple' is 'younger one'. Therefore, the Sermon on the Mount is intended for all those who have started their course upon the True Path and who are still the younger ones with regard to the liberated older ones. Thus, the Sermon on the Mount is of great importance for all those who are present in the Living Body of our young gnostic Brotherhood. We find there the outline of an attitude of life which will invariably lead to The Great Aim.

This important address opens with a glorious consolation, with the 'Beatitudes'. As many as nine times it is said: 'Blessed are'. Not 'blessed shall be',  but 'blessed are'. Blessedness is a state of the greatest happiness, a true state of liberation. There are many younger ones in a gnostic Body. They are on their way to the House of the Father and even as they are on their way, they are greeted with the nine times repeated 'Blessed are...', where the emphasis is placed on 'are'. The mere fact of them being in the living Body of the School as serious pupils renders their liberation a reality. Now this is what characterizes the gnostic life. It does not produce supreme happiness, but it is happiness, it is blessedness.

Therefore, and the world history of the gnostics bears this out fully, a gnostic is and always was a cheerful and happy being, no matter what befell him in the nature-of-death. His sense of security is not instilled in him by the power of suggestion, as a person may be brain-washed by psycho-analysis with a 'you are happy', but it is the certainty derived from the experience of: "I am on my way, and while I advance on the Path, the Light comes to meet me; it enters into me; it will never more leave me, neither by day or night. The Rose blooms; it gives off its sweet fragrance. Because of this, I am going to walk the Path of Roses, upon which the Light attracts me and is my guide".

Should not the one who has such an experience be happy? How could such a one ever be really harmed in going his way through the depths of difficulty of these times? All of us, without exception, can gain consciousness from these experiences this very second. The only condition is that you begin to seek for the Light, to crave for the Light, out of real inner need and with your entire being. Not by willing or thinking, or with feelings of sentimentality, but with a craving that proceeds from your blood state, with an urge to which all the organs of your intelligence must be subservient. Then the first Beatitude: 'Blessed are those who crave for the Spirit, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven' becomes a reality for you. From that instant on, the mansions of the New Realm are opened wide for you.

Come to the Light. Delay no longer. Partake of the Fire -- and be free.
