The Ego - A Journey Into Fear - Conclusion

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

Part IV

[QUOTING]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[END QUOTING]

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

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

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

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

All Love,

The Ego - A Journey Into Fear III

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

All emphasis are mine.

Part III

[QUOTING]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The Ego - A Journey Into Fear II

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

Part II

[QUOTING]

To the first biological humans, we communicated this message:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The Ego - A Journey Into Fear

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

Part I

[QUOTING]

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

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

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

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

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

[END QUOTING]

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

This partnership worked well...for a time.

Man, Unfinished

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

–adjective

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

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

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

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

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

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

The Truth Hurts

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

Jessep: You want answers?"

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

Jessep: "You want answers?"

Kaffee: "I want THE TRUTH!"

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

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

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

[QUOTING]

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

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

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

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

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

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

[END QUOTING]

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

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

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

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

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

The ALL Is In All

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

Introduction

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

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

The ALL

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

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

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

Creation

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Conclusion

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

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

May you be blessed with eyes to See.

All Love,

The Great Day of Purification

For humanity, for these times:

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

[QUOTING]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

A new era is dawning.

End of Part One

[END QUOTING]

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

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

Perseverance will be rewarded. You will not be disappointed.

The Meek shall indeed Inherit the (New) Earth.

The Light-Spirits

** note : unfortunately, the hyperlinks in this post are no longer active ~ g **

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

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

For those who may have such questions, the following article may prove to be enlightening.

The Light-Spirits - an article from: Rare Insights

Here are some excerpts:

[QUOTING]

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

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

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

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

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

To read the entire article, please go to The Light Spirits.

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

Fear Fly Away

The Opposite of Fear... is Love.

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

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

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

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

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

Fear Fly Away.

-- The Moment of Awakening Part II --

We now continue with excerpts from Chapter 14 of "The Third Millenium" by Ken Carey, published in 1991.

[QUOTING]

As the new reality comes fully into human consciousness (at that moment when the Creator’s luminous field comes into perfect alignment with the Earth Mother), all illusion of a destructive nature will be dissolved. Though there have been many centuries leading up to this moment, when the moment comes, it will be decisive.

There will be a great shift then, a Single Moment of quantum awakening. In this moment, the smallest interval of time measured in these dimensions – the interval that occurs in every atom between each of its billions of oscillations per second – will be lengthened unto Infinity. An interval of non-time will expand. Through that expansion, Eternity will flow. Some will experience this Moment as minutes or hours, others as a lifetime. Still others will experience this flash of non-time as a succession of many lives, and some few will, in this Moment, know the Nagual itself, the great nameless Presence that exists before and after all these worlds.

In the expanse of the non-time interval, human beings will have all the time they require to realize, experience, and remember the full consciousness of their eternal Spirits and the recall the origin of their individuality in the primordial fields of being. All will have ample time to recharge their form identity and its biological projection with the awareness of who they are, why they have individualized, and why they have chosen to associate with this planet’s human expression. Each one will have the choice to return to biological form or to remain in the fields of discarnate awareness.

Those who choose to return to human form will do so fully aware of who they are. No longer will they be but partially incarnate; they will resume biological residence with the full memory and consciousness of their eternal natures, sharing the creative capacities of the Star Maker, whose reflective cells they will know themselves to be.

Subconscious orientation in fear will be replaced by conscious orientation in Love. The sudden release of power, as the polarity of the collective human emotional field shifts from outer to inner orientation, cannot be avoided, no matter how smoothly we seek to guide this transition. All will feel an unmistakable surge of power in the instant of quantum awakening. This is as inevitable as the daily rotation of the earth’s continents into and out of the light of the sun.

But the effects? The implications? There is no way to predict them. They depend on the choices you make today.

By extrapolating current trends of consciousness we can establish a probable range of effects. But there may be as many as eight billion people incarnate at that moment, each with complete freedom of choice. And though the choices each one makes in his or her lifetime prior to that Moment will certainly predispose that person in one direction or another, there are no guarantees, no assurances.

The spiritual polarity of collective human consciousness did shift once before, triggering a reversal of the earth’s magnetic field, a shifting in the position of the poles, and a great deal of destruction. However, that shift was a shift from consciousness to subconsciousness (BG: referring here to Atlantis).

We will have a degree of control during this conscious shift that was absent then and so do not expect the same sort of cataclysmic shock waves. Still, it would be under-estimating the variables to assume that earth changes will not accompany The Event. Almost certainly, some will. These will be for the most part of a benevolent nature – a melting of the polar ice caps, for example, bringing rain to arid regions and helping to cleanse toxins from polluted lakes and rivers, a warming and simultaneous moistening of climate that will open to agriculture the extensive plains and fertile river valleys of Greenland, Antarctica, and certain of the world’s deserts.

To minimize the trauma of this moment both for you and for other members of the human family, it is important that you prepare for it well ahead of time, establishing the habits that will leave your self-understanding fluid, relaxed, and trusting in the overall benevolence of the Universe and its resident Intelligence.

The best way to prepare for any future moment in time is to be fully in your present moment now.

[END QUOTING]

End of Part II

Tremendous efforts by the Helpers of our Race have been and continue to be made to rouse Humanity from its eons of slumber. It is time to us, as a group, to Understand and Prepare for what is about to come. Again, if people look to these future events in a fear-based fashion, they will risk experiencing a fearful result. However, if people look towards these events with grateful anticipation and trust in a Universe of Love and Benevolence, they will experience what can only be described as a Joy and a Union with The Creator presently incomprehensible to mankind.

Now is the time to Separate from those who cling to the old. Leave them to their false gods of Materialism, Reason and Fear. Associate with those who are looking toward our Universal Tomorrow with Love, Understanding and Joy. In this way, the radiations of the cosmic Christ-energy will multiply exponentially, assisting the Earth in her re-birthing and those of Humanity who will have chosen to fearlessly embark upon our Great Evolutionary Step Forward.

-- The Moment of Awakening --

The following excerpts are very important. Re-printed from "The Third Millenium" by Ken Carey, published in 1991.

[QUOTING]

At the moment of quantum awakening, change will occur rapidly, rippling across the terrestrial surface like a wave. Everything in the earth's gravitational field will be affected in some way.

This will be a time of massive change, of change on a scale that has no historical precedent...deep and fundamental, massive though these present changes are, they will occur within the span of a just single human life.

Within your lifetime, you will witness revelations that will show the foolishness of much that was once deemed wise. You will watch as traditions and historical habit patterns once assumed to be survival imperatives are discovered to be detriments to a healthy life and a healthy society.

Those who incarnate now, those who bring the fullness of their eternal talents, attributes, and perspectives into today's people, are the Agents of Healing. They alone have it in their power to experience this awesome time of Transition as glorious or traumatic. Every individual who becomes a clear and undistorted channel for Eternal Love in these times offsets a thousand who remain locked in the dissolving values of the old.

The future, as always, holds an element of surprise. Yet some things are as certain as the movement of the stars.

A mother never knows exactly what hour she will give birth to her child, but she has a "due date", an approximate time when the baby is expected and will most likely be born. For millenia now, there have been those in various traditions of both East and West who have known that the Earth has a due date sometime during the second decade of the 21st century. Though there will be much awakening of individuals prior to to the first unified movement of the awakened planetary organism, this movement, like a first breath, will occur in but a single moment.

Babies are sometimes born early, sometimes late. So be aware, be vigilant. Do not discount the possibility that the moment might come as a thief in the night. And do not be among the foolish who will wait until the last moment to come to terms with the rising awareness. This is to be an important occasion.

It is THE Event that is central to all human history.

Our emphasis for many thousands of years has been and continues to be to prepare you for this Single Moment. For though the changes will be dramatic, they need not be traumatic. Though they will bring a fundamental human revisioning of reality's nature, this need not be perceived as threatening. Essentially, it is a positive and joyous event. The consciousness that will ultimately emerge will be the consciousness of the Eternal One, the Creator, the Being of Life, awake and aware for the first time in a material universe.

Human circuitry is designed to accommodate this consciousness, In much the same way that your individual cells understand their relationship to you, each awakened human being understands him- or herself in hologramatic awareness to this Unified Field of Awareness.

Since this perception of self differs significantly from historical perception, its emergence in collective human consciousness presents the potential for disorientation in those who might react to its coming in fear. We wish to maximize enjoyment and minimize discomfort for all concerned. If human beings understand more fully what is occurring, they will be less likely to react in ways that would cause them unnecessary discomfort.

Regardless of whether one accepts this change or attempts to back away from it, this event will be of greater power than any the earth has ever seen. More energy will be released in a very few moments than is typically released upon the surface of the earth in many years. This energy will take the form of heightened perception and deepened emotional connection, rejoining the individual and God.

The Great Separation

The following has been excerpted from ”Vision” by Ken Carey – Chapter 6 "The Great Separation". This book is highly recommended. Less than 90 pages, very easy to read, filled with Wisdom and Light. The paperback can be had for a handful of dollars at half.com, alibris.com, etc.

All highlights are mine. Christ Consciousness speaking. Not "Jesus", not "Christ". Christ Consciousness.

[QUOTING]

My consciousness is available to all, but the time I will wait for it to be received must eventually pass. I have come here to act. Soon my activity will begin. Those who do not accept my invitation to Life will be separated in the end from those who do. Weeds and corn may flourish together in the fields, yet at the time of harvest, their destinies diverge. It would not be merciful to forever sustain in consciousness those who give others cause to fear.

I come as the Spirit of Truth to comfort those who live by Love, to challenge those who do not. I come with the Great Sword of Division, to separate those who destroy from those who create. All will meet Me, in honesty or in deceit. And as the years go by, these two ways will grow ever more distinct.

Conflict cannot exist where Truth is in expression; it occurs only in the presence of dishonesty. Where Truth is denied, self-destruct mechanisms go into effect. People get sick of themselves; they die because they do not forgive.

Disease is not caused by germs, toxins, viruses, excessive radioactivity, microbes, bacteria or by any other physical agent. Such things are ever-present; thousands of them pass daily through every healthy human body. Such agents are only destructive when they do not pass through the human body but are retained instead.

There is only one reason why germs or toxins are retained in the human system: because present in that human system is an evil spirit. To the degree that an evil spirit is entertained and made welcome in an individual’s life, his or her body will disease. This is a regulatory mechanism, designed to deprive destructive spirits of physical bodies.

Evil spirits are negative attitudes, destructive emotions rooted in fear. Some of the more common evil spirits are resentment, anger, shame, guilt, anxiety, hatred, greed, revenge, jealousy. All thinly disguised forms of fear, their presence in a human system gives harmful physical agents something to attach themselves to.

As my Presence increases on Earth, it becomes ever easier for human beings to experience healing. The cure is always available, as close as Honesty, as near as Love. The Awakened Ones who are rising with me in this age find that their very presence brings dishonesty to the surface, that it might be dissolved in the light, that forgiveness might wash clean the consciences of all who would be made whole. As I did in Jerusalem on the hills of Galilee, I will now do again through these, cast out evil spirits and heal through the forgiveness of sins.

Whatever form the healing of the human world takes during these next few years, know that it is for the good of all. Do not be concerned with the fate of those who reject my Spirit. Their story is far from over. I am caring for each one in the manner of his or her greatest need. The human world is in good hands. When you and much of the Earth’s present biological life have been sprinkled throughout the stars, and the oceans have changed places with the land, after the poles have shifted and new mountains have come to look out over the plains, then will these slow learners be recalled from the mineral realms where they shall slumber, to learn of intelligence again and to come again to choose between Love and Fear. If there ever is one, even one, that shall choose Fear, then that one shall sleep while the rest journey on, but in the fullness of a new time, I will awaken the one again – and again and again if need be – until that which was designed to be conscious takes up my Love and joins me in Joy and Gladness.

For though in creating human beings I create a creature that must choose of its own will to accept the freedom that Love’s Spirit alone can convey, in the end, that creature will choose the best. Not because I have given it no choice, but because I have given it choice, and choice, and choice again, until it learns the nature of love and comes to prefer consciousness over the sleep of Ignorance and Fear.

It is but a little while and the illusion of historical time shall be no more. Like the foam of an ocean wave retreating into the bosom of an eternal sea, the human drama is passing. Your world is changing. It will change quicker still. Soon, all the years of human history up to the moment of my Awakening shall melt into dream. All human motivation shall originate in the Love of my Eternal Presence. Heaven will be mirrored on Earth. The Creator of all the stars in the sky shall be dressed in the biological robes of a blue-white world.

You have incarnated at this time specifically to help ease this transition. Help me guide the human lives that are disoriented as the old temple topples. Direct them to the new organization that is taking place everywhere human beings love.

Love and Encouragement to all who Serve.

Life in 4D (The Astral Realms) - Conclusion

This is the final installment on the nature of the astral realms as related by guru Sri Yukteswar to his disciple, Yogananda, in "Autobiography of a Yogi" by Paramhansa Yogananda.

[QUOTING]

"The span of life in the astral world is much longer than on earth. A normal advanced astral being's average life period is from five hundred to one thousand years, measured in accordance with earthly standards of time. As certain redwood trees outlive most trees by milleniums, or as some yogis live several hundred years though most men die before the age of sixty, so some astral beings live longer than the usual span of astral existence. Visitors to the astral world dwell there for a longer or shorter period in accordance with the weight of their physical karma, which draws them back to earth within a specified time.

"The astral being does not have to contend painfully with death at the time of shedding his luminous body. Many of these beings nevertheless feel slightly nervous at the thought of dropping their astral form for the subtler causal one. The astral world is free from unwilling death, disease, and old age. These three dreads are the curse of earth, where man has allowed his consciousness to identify itself almost wholly with a frail physical body requiring constant aid from air, food, and sleep in order to exist at all.

"Physical death is attended by the disappearance of breath and the disintegration of fleshly cells. Astral death consists of the dispersement of lifetrons, those manifest units of energy which constitute the life of the astral being. At physical death, a being loses his consciousness of flesh and becomes aware of his subtle body in the astral world. Experiencing astral death in due time, a being thus passes from the consciousness of astral birth and death to that of physical birth and death. These recurrent cycles of astral and physical encasement (BG: "reincarnation") are the ineluctable destiny of all Unenlightened beings. Scriptural definitions of heaven and hell sometimes stir man's deeper-than-subconscious memories of his long series of experiences in the blithesome and disappointing terrestrial worlds.

"The physical karma or desires of man must be completely worked out before his permanent stay in the astral worlds becomes possible. Two kinds of beings live in the astral spheres:

1. Those who still have earthly karma to dispose of and who must therefore re-inhabit a gross physical body in order to pay their karmic debts could be classified, after physical death, as temporary visitors to the astral world rather than as permanent residents.

"Beings with unredeemed earthly karma are not permitted after astral death to go to the higher causal sphere of cosmic ideas (5D), but must shuttle to and fro from the physical and astral worlds only, conscious successively of their physical body of sixteen gross elements and their astral body of nineteen subtle elements. After each loss of his physical body, however, an undeveloped being from the earth remains for the most part in the deep stupor of the death-sleep and is hardly conscious of the beautiful astral sphere. After the astral rest, such a man returns to the material plane for further lessons, gradually accustoming himself, through repeated journeys, to the worlds of subtle and astral texture.

2. "Normal or long established residents of the astral universe, on the other hand, are those who, freed forever from all material longings, need return no more to the gross vibrations of earth. Such beings have only astral and causal karma to work out. At astral death, these beings pass to the infinitely finer and more delicate causal world. Shedding the thought-form of the causal body at the end of a certain span, determined by cosmic law, these advanced beings then return...to a high astral planet, reborn in a new astral body to work out their unredeemed astral karma.

"Only when a being has no further desires for experiences in the pleasing-to-the-eye astral cosmos, and cannot be tempted to go back there, does he remain in the causal world.

[END QUOTING]

[BG]: It is hoped that these excerpts have helped to provide a stimulating glimpse of what life in the astral world is about. A prerequisite for a permanent move to the higher astral worlds is to forsake this Physical realm and the Lower astral realms that come with it. The Desire for all things material must be permanently overcome, as one would extinguish every last, smoldering ember of a campfire, lest it arise in flame once more.

Leave this undivine universe of Sorrows behind and don't look back. Love, Joy, Peace, Rest, Wonder and all the true Beauty that the Divine Universe has to offer awaits all those who will look up and heed The Call.

It won't be long now.

All Love,

Life in 4D (The Astral Realms) Part III

Moving forward with more on the nature of the astral realms as related by guru Sri Yukteswar to his disciple, Yogananda, in "Autobiography of a Yogi" by Paramhansa Yogananda.

[QUOTING]

“Friends of other lives easily recognize one another in the astral world. Rejoicing at the immortality of friendship, they realize the indestructibility of love, often doubted at the time of the sad, delusive partings of earthly life.

“The intuition of astral beings pierces through the veil and observes human activity on earth, but man cannot view the astral world unless his sixth sense is somewhat developed. Thousands of earth-dwellers have momentarily glimpsed an astral being or an astral world.

“Communication among the astral inhabitants is held entirely by astral telepathy and television; there is none of the confusion and misunderstanding of the written and spoken word which earth-dwellers must endure. Just as persons on the cinema screen appear to move and act through a series of light pictures, and do not actually breathe, so the astral beings walk and work as intelligently guided and coordinated images of light, without the necessity of drawing power from oxygen. Man depends on solids, liquids, gases and energy for sustenance; astral beings sustain themselves principally by cosmic light.

“Luminous raylike vegetables abound in the astral soils. The astral beings consume vegetables, and drink a nectar flowing from glorious fountains of light, and from astral brooks and rivers. Just as invisible images of persons on the earth can be dug out of the ether and made visible by a television apparatus, later being dismissed again into space, so the god-created, unseen astral blueprints of vegetables and plants floating on the ether are precipitated on the astral plane by the will of its inhabitants. In the same way, from the wildest fancy of these beings, whole gardens of fragrant flowers are materialized, returning later to the etheric invisibility.

“The earth-liberated astral being meets a multitude of relatives, fathers, mothers, wives, husbands and friends acquired during different incarnations on earth,* as they appear from time to time in various parts of the astral realms. He is therefore at a loss to understand whom to love especially; he learns in this way to give a divine and equal love to all, as children and individualized expressions of God.

* Lord Buddha was once asked why a man should love all persons equally. “Because,” the great teacher replied, “in the very numerous and varied lifespans of each man, every other being has at one time or another been dear to him.

“Though the outward appearance of the loved ones may have changed, more or less according to the development of new qualities in the latest life of any particular soul, the astral being employs his unerring intuition to recognize all those once dear to him in other planes of existence, and to welcome them to their new astral home. Because every atom in Creation is inextinguishably dowered with individuality,* an astral friend will be recognized no matter what costume he may don, even as on earth an actor’s identity is discoverable by close observation despite any disguise.

* The eight elemental qualities which enter into all created life, from atom to man, are earth, water, fire, air, ether, motion, mind and individuality. (Bhagavad Gita: VII:4)

[QUOTING]

“The earth is dark with warfare and murder in the sea, land and air, but the astral realms know a happy harmony and equality. Astral beings dematerialize or materialize their forms at will. Flowers or fish or animals can metamorphose themselves, for a time, into astral men. All astral beings are free to assume any form, and can easily commune together. No fixed, definite, natural law hems them round – any astral tree, for example, can be successfully asked to produce an astral mango or other desired fruit, flower, or indeed any other object. Certain karmic restrictions are present, but there are no distinctions in the astral world about the desirability of certain forms. Everything is vibrant with God’s creative light.

“The astral body is not subject to cold or heat or other natural conditions. The anatomy includes an astral brain, or the thousand-petal lotus of light, and six awakened centers in the sushumna, or astral cerebral-spinal axis. The heart draws Cosmic Energy as well as light from the astral brain, and pumps it to the astral nerves and body cells, or lifetrons. Astral beings can affect their bodies by lifetronic force or by mantric vibrations.

“The astral body is an exact counterpart of the last physical form. Astral beings retain the same appearance which they possessed in youth in their previous earthly sojourn; occasionally an astral being chooses, like myself, to retain his old age appearance.

“Unlike the special, three-dimensional physical world cognized by the five senses, the astral spheres are visible to the all-inclusive sixth sense – intuition. By sheer intuitional feeling, all astral beings see, hear, taste and touch. They possess three eyes, two of which are partly closed. The third and chief astral eye, vertically placed on the forehead, is open. Astral beings have all the outer sensory organs – ears, eyes, nose, tongue and skin – but they employ the intuitional sense to experience sensations through any part of the body; they can see through the ear, nose, or skin. They are able to hear through the eyes or tongue, and can taste through the ears or skin, and so forth.*

* Examples of such powers are not wanting even on earth, as in the case of Helen Keller and other rare beings.

“Man’s physical body is exposed to countless dangers, and it is easy to be hurt or maimed; the ethereal astral body may occasionally be cut or bruised but it is healed at once by mere willing.

“Beauty in the astral world is known to be a spiritual quality, and not an outward conformation. Astral beings therefore attach little importance to facial features. They have the privilege, however, of costuming themselves at will with new, colorful, astrally materialized bodies. Just as worldly men don new array for gala events, so astral beings find occasions to bedeck themselves in specially designed forms.".

Life In 4D (The Astral Realms)

The following description of life in the astral realms is excerpted from "Autobiography of a Yogi" by Paramhansa Yogananda.

[QUOTING]

“God encased the human soul successively in three bodies – the idea, or causal, body; the subtle astral body, seat of man’s mental and emotional natures; and the gross physical body.

On earth a man is equipped with his physical sense. An astral being works with his consciousness and feelings and a body made of lifetrons.* A causal-bodied being remains in the blissful realm of ideas.

* The Hindu scriptures refer to... prana, "creative lifetronic force". Atoms and electrons are blind forces; prana is inherently intelligent. The pranic lifetrons in the spermatozoa and ova, guide the embryonic development according to a karmic design.

“There are many astral planets, teeming with astral beings. The inhabitants use astral planes, or masses of light, to travel from one planet to another, faster than electricity and radioactive energies.

“The astral universe, made of various subtle vibrations of light and color, is hundreds of times larger than the material cosmos. The entire physical creation hangs like a little solid basket under the huge luminous balloon of the astral sphere. Just as many physical suns and stars roam in space, so there are also countless astral solar and stellar systems. Their planets have astral suns and moons, more beautiful than the physical ones. The astral luminaries resemble the aurora borealis - the sunny astral aurora being more dazzling than the mild-rayed moon-aurora. The astral day and night are longer than those of earth.

“The astral world is infinitely beautiful, clean, pure, and orderly. There are no dead planets or barren lands. The terrestrial blemishes, weeds, bacteria, insects, snakes – are absent. Unlike the variable climates and seasons of the earth, the astral planets maintain the even temperatures of an eternal spring, with occasional luminous white snow and rain of many-colored lights. Astral planets abound in opal lakes and bright seas and rivers.

“The ordinary astral universe … is peopled with millions of astral beings who have come, more or less recently, from the earth, and also with myriads of fairies, mermaids, fishes, animals, goblins, gnomes, demigods and spirits, all residing on different astral planets in accordance with karmic qualifications. Various spheric mansions or vibratory regions are provided for good and evil spirits. Good ones can travel freely, but the evil spirits are confined to limited zones. In the same way that human beings live on the surface of the earth, worms inside the soil, fish in water, and birds in the air, so astral beings of different grades are assigned to suitable vibratory quarters.

“Among the fallen dark angels expelled from other worlds, friction and war take place with lifetronic bombs or mental mantric* vibratory rays. These beings dwell in the gloom-drenched regions of the lower astral cosmos, working out their evil karma.

*Adjective of mantra, chanted seed sounds discharged by the mental gun of concentration. The Puranas describe these mantric wars between devas and asuras (gods and demons). An asura once tried to slay a deva with a potent chant. But due to mispronunciation the mental bomb acted as a boomerang and killed the demon.

“In the vast realms above the dark astral prison, all is shining and beautiful. The astral cosmos is more naturally attuned than the earth to the divine will and plan of perfection. Every astral object is manifested primarily by the will of God, and partially by the will-call of astral beings. They possess the power of modifying or enhancing the grace and form of anything already created by the Lord. He has given His astral children the freedom and privilege of changing or improving at will the astral cosmos. On earth a solid must be transformed into a liquid or other form through natural or chemical processes, but astral solids are changed into astral liquids, gases, or energy solely and instantly by the will of the inhabitants".

Right Focus

[QUOTING]

From The New Call chapter entitled: The New and The Old

A critical time of decision has arrived for everyone. The present opportunity is so great and the need for definite and positive action is so demanding that, whether we like it or not, we are all faced with a challenge. We are confronted with one of two vital choices: either to embrace the new way of being and its intrinsic responsibilities, or to reject them in the bold acknowledgement that we are not concerned or that we are unable or unprepared to make the needed changes and sacrifices in our lives. In the very near future, one way or another, each individual will have made a necessary choice to affiliate with either the Islands of Light or the caverns of darkness; there will be no grey areas. Therefore, each member of the human family must today choose between Love and Fear, Wisdom and Ignorance. Whatever we decide in this matter will definitely affect the remainder of our days here on Earth, for we shall either throw what weight or aid we can into the One Divine Work of planetary redemption, and so prepare wisely for what is to come, or we shall join the ranks of those who regard the whole proposition as uninteresting, unbelievable, too demanding or unworthy of their time and effort. It is this second group who work subconsciously or overtly, unwittingly or deliberately, to delay what must inevitably come to pass.

The new world-paradigm necessarily possesses a dynamic expulsive power and is therefore the natural adversary of the old and obsolete, and to this fact a growing number of forward-looking individuals bear testimony. Yet the old cannot withstand the New, for such is the Divine Plan for planet Earth. Correspondingly, the degenerative forces of the old do not have the power to affect anyone who attunes to the New. Thus, each person today has both the marvellous opportunity and spiritual responsibility for raising their consciousness as they can in these "end times" by aligning themselves with the superseding paradigms.

The law is set. All those who are able to genuinely express unconditional love during the birth of the Aquarian age will automatically attune to that which is bright and new. It is thus that they shall witness all their past limitations and conflicts dissolving away as spiritual contact is established, as clarity of vision and purpose is restored in their lives, and as they rise up with a song of gratitude and joy to greet the unprecedented light of a New Day.

[END QUOTE]

There is a lot of external negativity in the world. This negative energy is being projected at us through every means imaginable. If we give these things our focus, we risk accumulating these debilitating energies and lowering our vibration. We risk identifying with this lower energy and chaining ourselves to the illusion that is the Physical World.

Energy Follows Thought. What is Focused Upon, Grows.

Focus on what is higher. Focus on what is to come, what is already here! Focus on living in such a way as to qualify for entry in the glorious New World that is awaiting us. The Beast will try to divert your attention with Fear, through electronic and print media, family members, friends and acquaintances. It will also use the lure of Pleasure try to turn your attention downward by providing you with all the "toys" and "activities" a human being could want to possess and participate in. Traps. All of it. Everything. Traps set to keep us focused on duality, instead of divinity. With all of our power, we must learn to avoid these things. No, not avoid, we must learn to remain detached from having any reaction at all to these false stimuli.

Hold on. Continue to Demonstrate Your Choice. Remain focused on the Future that you know in your heart awaits those who can hear its once-faint echo. As we remain attuned to the New, the Old will slowly lose its grip upon us. Finally, as one who is drowning, it will release its weakening hold upon us and slip beneath our notice, for good.

All Love,
