Selfless Service, The Golden Key

One hears a lot these days about Service-to-Others vs. Service-to-Self. Few realize how important it is to live an STO life, where every thought, feeling or action manifests itself with the good of others, the good of the group, in mind.

We are born ignorant and then promptly taught as children to be selfish. How? The world social system teaches us to "love ourselves", develop "self-esteem" and personal ambition ("be somebody"). Is it any wonder that the world is the way it is, with such insidiously sly and misleadingly wrong teachings?

A major key towards preparing oneself to make the Harvest that is on our doorstep is to forget the self. Forget you and what you like, what you want, what you need, what you desire. Learn to turn your focus out and away from self, towards others. What does my brother require? Where does my sister need help? How can I become a vessel through which Universal Love can flow through and touch another? Honestly contemplate the following: what has self-focus brought you but pain, sorrow and unhappiness?

The less one thinks of oneself, the more one thinks of others first, that's when true Joy becomes a permanent part of one's experience. Worries will fade, as one will find that in ceasing to try and hold onto "things", much more will be allowed to pass through their hands. The key is to not hold onto whatever it is that we tend to hold onto, tangible or intangible. Whatever we are Given, re-Give that to someone else. When the opportunity presents itself, Give what we have to whoever needs it, without thought of replacement or repayment. This is how we prepare ourselves for a New Life and a New Way. This is how one demonstrates their qualifications to be chosen as part of the seed of a New Race. Give, and never stop Giving. Forget you. There is no you. There is only Us.

From The New Call - The Liberating Path of Service

[QUOTING]

WHEN WE IDENTIFY AND STRUGGLE with the problems of the personal self we cannot see a way out of our loneliness and suffering because we are looking in the wrong direction! Should we forget this most important principle of life, we need only recall to mind the existence and example of our sun, which constantly demonstrates a fundamental divine law.

Now, the sun shines! It does not try to shine; it does not perform rituals, resound prayers or practise any kind of spiritual technique in order to gain something or to better itself, and it certainly does not struggle with countless personal problems, desires and fears as does humanity, and this not doing is the secret of its success. Conversely, in man's personal struggle for freedom, in his antagonistic efforts to gain happiness for the separate self, in his self-imposed separation from the true and inclusive life of the Spirit, and in his ignorant and exclusive self-regard, he is actually contravening one of life's greatest laws, and so he must pay the price. Self-orientation contracts consciousness, and in thus obstructing the light of his very own soul from irradiating and expanding his awareness, man prevents his liberation from the darkness, suffering and struggle that have been his lot for ages upon Earth.

The Law of Cause and Effect is insuperable. People become unhappy, get sick and die because in focussing upon the little self - one microscopic mote in a veritable cosmic ocean of like particles - they lose sight of the greater whole of which they, as a personality, are an intrinsic and inseparable element. Man is generally so busy in habitually transgressing universal law that he fails to look, to see, and to therefore take benefit from his macrocosmic exemplar and master: the sun. What is focussed upon grows, and in the constricting focus that man chooses to maintain, he consummates his own "eternal damnation" as he separates himself indefinitely from the rest of Creation: his very own Greater Self. Thus, as long as man chooses to remain wallowing in the primeval mire of his selfish and fearful self, then his separation from God, the Fall from Grace and Lucifer's (mankind's) banishment from Paradise will be perpetuated.

Unhappiness, discord and disease are unnatural phenomena. They do not constitute part of the Universal Harmony and are not a design of the Divine Plan of Perfection. They are mankind's creations, as are all problems on Earth. With a little imagination it is not difficult to ascertain what would transpire if our sun were to follow man's example! And if every sun throughout the Cosmos were to do the same, then all the stars in the firmament would grow dim, flicker and die; the universe would be no more and God would expire! Today, Mother Earth is painfully close to just such a fate, and she, along with all humanity, bears testimony to the world-disharmony that we, as a race, have perpetrated in our forgetfulness of universal law. Yet the sun still shines, as it will indefinitely, just as long as it maintains its selfless focus and continues to surrender to the great Law of Love. And in recalling to mind the sun's perfect example whenever we find ourselves feeling any lack of vitality or inspiration, we may begin to reverse our downward-spiralling course into darkness by looking past the little self and into Life, by helping others, by giving to the world and by living for the greater good, just like the sun. Thus, we, too, will shine forever.

* * *

In selflessly serving the One Spirit in all - starting perhaps with our immediate friends, family, associates or our group - we shall find that our own highest needs are met by way of such service. Once the spiritual heart is thus kindled and set aflame in loving service to others, all personal problems resume their correct perspective and begin to dissolve effortlessly. For example, during times of great misfortune or disaster, the soul of humanity naturally responds to the greater needs, and thus in finding purpose through crisis our own personal problems lose their immediacy and may even cease to figure in our awareness altogether. At this present stage of human development on Earth the clarion call of the New Spirit is sounding urgently forth and is entreating every heart to willingly give up the futile search for personal gain - material or spiritual - and to look toward the greater needs of the world. It seeks to elucidate and evoke within us all the wisdom in joining hands together as one, for the sake of the realisation of a larger and brighter vision for the whole planet.

The grace of the times may only be received by the virtuous, and in thus becoming illumined by the liberating Aquarian energies, an awareness of the many previously concealed yet vital lessons in life may be appreciated. When we are able to really see, everyone and everything becomes a reliable tutor, the Book of Nature is opened and its secrets are revealed, divine-contact is established and, therefore, intuition is awakened. True intuition always impels one to do the greatest good for the largest number of people, for if one is attuned to the Spirit via one's own soul, then one is also aligned to some degree with the Divine Plan, and the Divine Plan is, in turn, designed for the benefit of everyone. Intuition, therefore, being ever unselfish, may be rightfully regarded as group-perception, that is, vision afforded by attunement to divine law for the good of all. Selflessness is the golden key that will avail each person today of the greatest blessing in the world, which is given in order to be shared with others, and when the door of present opportunity is unlocked, opened and the threshold crossed, sincere aspirants will find themselves upon the Path of progressive spiritual liberation in service to their fellows.

Servers and The Harvest

The following is excerpted from Servers of the Divine Plan - Judgment Day (The Harvest Time)

[QUOTING]

Opportunity to make a great leap in consciousness is presently being given, therefore, to those souls who possess reasonable potential for harvest. A system of 'privileged incarnation' for planet Earth was instigated several decades ago, and this has necessarily become more exacting recently as the Harvest Time draws nearer. Divine decree is today permitting incarnation mainly for those souls whose chances of utilising well contemporary life-experience upon the planet are most favourable, and this in order that they may become adequately prepared for success at the time of the Great Transition.

This is one of the reasons that many children on Earth today are far more spiritually advanced than their parents and teachers. An overwhelming number of souls are eager for Earthly incarnation at this time due to the present unprecedented opportunity for rapid spiritual progress on the planet. At the time of writing (1997), there is a baby-boom occurring in various countries of the world. If human beings could but see and so fully appreciate the extremely good fortune in having a physical embodiment at this time upon Earth, then they might choose to appropriately adjust their attitudes to life, attune to the grace of the Aquarian energies, consequently guarantee their place amidst the successful entrants to the New World, and so abide in joyous anticipation of the forthcoming Final Liberation that has been promised to humanity since ancient times.

Servers, of course, qualify to be included within the privileged system of incarnation previously mentioned. In fact, most of them attained the minimum vibratory rate required for successful harvest from the third density into higher consciousness a long, long time ago, and they are here today solely to help others to do the same. Awakened Servers are, therefore, sometimes known as 'The Harvesters', and this is because one of their principal duties is to reach out and help as many people as possible in order that a greater proportion of humanity may ready themselves for the approaching promotion into the New World. Therefore, it is not difficult to see how an individual's response to a Server's appeal today may determine that person's success at the forthcoming Harvest Time.

It has been estimated that the number of Servers present upon Earth today in physical incarnation exceeds one-hundred million, and this figure is ever increasing as more among their ranks are incarnating daily*. Members of humanity who choose the path of conscious preparation will be automatically aided by the Servers, and together they will pass through the Portal of Initiation and into the New World. By offering a field of service, Servers provide the all-important opportunity for humanity to attain the preparatory requirements that will ensure their future success. They do this by offering contemporarily-relevant information, spiritual counsel and a worthy focus or life-aspiration, all of which are born from their own recognition of the truth of the times and, therefore, the need of the hour. Servers may thus be regarded as guides during the period leading up to the planetary deadline and the Harvest Time itself.

* The growing frequency of Indigo and Crystal children is a part of this phenomenon.

Servers, acting as custodians of the Divine Plan, give the final opportunity to humanity for redemption before the now impending Judgement Day; they are the 'messengers of God' spoken of in many different scriptural prophecies: "Be not forgetful to entertain strangers, for thereby some have entertained angels unawares." - Hebrews 13:2. The essential meaning of the word 'Angel' is divine messenger, and all awakened Servers today are bearers of a most important message for humanity.

Looks can be deceiving, however, and some of the more highly evolved Servers upon Earth are extremely well camouflaged at this time in order that their advanced spiritual status remains undetected by the common man until the appropriate moment. Such latent instruments of grace presently express but a hint of the divine light that will shine forth when their true nature is revealed to the world. While awaiting the full arrival into the physical body of their divine soul, most often themselves as a personality unaware yet of exactly who they are, some Servers have even been diagnosed by an unsuspecting medical profession as retarded, autistic, etc., so thoroughly are they concealed. Yet when it is time for their full remembrance they will again resume their familiar task of working diligently with uncompromising dedication to the greatest good by offering perfectly appropriate spiritual guidance in the world. Such loving service will be essentially concerned with the vital preparation for the Harvest Time: the greatest spiritual opportunity for mankind in the world today.

[END QUOTING]

If you suspect that you may be a Server, Servers of the Divine Plan was written with you in mind. Those who are not yet awake, must make the herculean efforts to now awaken. Time is unbelievably short. Shake off the Sleep of Ages. The Gatekeeper approaches.

Remember that you promised to Remember.

This Bitter Cup

"The cup of karma must be drank to its bitter dregs".

Many people have habits. Some of them life-long, many of them life-threatening, all of them like velvet ropes which bind us tightly to the material world.

Like Attracts Like. What one desires is what one will manifest.

In order to assist the process of tearing away from this false, objectified reality, we must dismantle the habitually erroneous patterns of thoughts, feelings and actions that bind us to that false reality.

HABITS

Habits have to be forsaken. This is necessary, as habits of a material nature represent the "super-glue" that reinforces our bondage to the material world. The break has to be clean, has to be permanent. It can't be "I'll just cut down", or "maybe I'll just do it on special occasions". It is also counter-productive to utter the Famous Four of Futility: "I can't do it".

It has often been noted that once we say "we can't", then we won't.

Habits are carried forth from life to life. New ones are developed, while others may be extinguished. Each life is an opportunity to release and expel these demons from our auric field. All too frequently, we fail to do what is necessary and succumb, yet again, to the unseen forces that dominate us.

One of the keys to overcoming a habit is to establish that the physical body and the lower self - the personality - should not be in control of how one thinks, feels and acts. One must, through an act of will, re-assert control over the lower vehicles, if one wishes to re-establish balance and make progress towards reunion with the divine Higher Self.

It will not happen overnight, although that is possible for those who are truly ready to stop indulging a particular habit. But if one sincerely tries and fails, get right back at it. In this way, resolve is built up, and it gets a bit easier, one moves a little further next time. It may take years, it may take lives, but once the seed has been planted, the tree will grow.

It is said that "one must hit bottom" before one leaves habits behind and begins the long climb back towards Life. There is truth to this, and the quote at the head of this post is a reflection of that. We can make no progress towards the Higher Life until we are finally through with feeding into this fabrication of existence. When one is truly ready, all that is false will fall away. For some, this will happen sooner, for others, much, much later.

It is, indeed a bitter cup from which we stubbornly drink. Empty the cup of death, for good. Choose to return to Life.

Came across this today while looking for something else.

From Rare Insights - The Call To Service

[QUOTE]

Much has been spoken and written about the global shifts that will continue to accelerate in the times to come as Gaia prepares to give birth to a New World Consciousness.

This New Consciousness is a quality of vibration.

Here is an analogy: Imagine a magnificent, multi-layered, resounding musical chord. Overtones that are in resonance with this chord reverberate in sympathetic vibration, and serve to complement one another, adding richness and depth to the whole.

This is the vibration of Unity.

There is no dissonance, only the correspondence of diverse tones that are in complete melodic rapport, one with another. The harmonic effect is produced by the complementary nature of each note, tone and octave, as they all reverberate together, in collective accord with the unified resonance.

Just like a tone in a musical chord, each human being carries a vibratory signature, which reveals his or her nature and state of being. Each human being vibrates according to his or her energetic investments and emanations. This vibratory frequency is key in terms of who will and who will not be in resonance with the Unified Field of Consciousness that is now being infused into the Gaian sphere.

Those who are selfish in any way; those who still choose, however subtly, to serve the master whose power is born of fear; those who continue to see through the narrow lens of their separate personality - e.g., my spiritual growth, my ascension, my inner peace and happiness, my spiritual empowerment, my personal healing, etc. - will remain inside a body whose cells vibrate within the densities of the realm of the separate self. They will not, therefore, be in resonance with the Divine Field that will permeate this Earth at the time of her transition. The dense quality of these bodies will not be in accordance with and so will not be able to accommodate the unifying Energies that will be infused into the Earth as she ascends.

Those who have completely surrendered their egos and their self-serving ways and who have consecrated themselves to humbly becoming clear and pure vessels for divine Love, devoted to the selfless service of humanity and the Earth, will be in resonance with the refined vibratory quality that is required in order to pass through the portal of death and into new Life. For it is only through the total relinquishing of one's energetic investment in self, the small 'I', and all the associated fear, ignorance and darkness that feeds the illusion of the material world, that one's dense physical human body may be transmuted via the process of transfiguration so that it will have manifested a completely transformed vesture. The cells of these bodies will have shifted in their vibratory frequency, and will have become entirely in resonance with the vibration of a united consciousness - Divine Consciousness - so enabling them to accommodate the influx of powerful Holy Forces that will flood the Earth at the point of world-transition.

Each human being will choose which way he or she will be facing at the Sifting Time, and the right choice begins with simple honesty, free of the endless mental speculations, convolutions and grasping pontifications of the noisy ego, spiritually educated or not.

There is, then, a great urgency at this late stage of the phase leading up to the planetary deadline. There is a present need for positive, active response to the Call to Service, not least to counteract the blighting effects of pseudo-spirituality that is today spreading throughout the world and which is being peddled everywhere under the name of 'Truth and Light'.

The heart of humanity is blind, and many are being lost for the harvest, drowning in their own egotistic effluvia. Mankind no longer has the time to engage in useless philosophizing. There is a now pressing exigency to assist those who have become lost in the miasma of human ignorance, yet who retain some soul-quality and so who are genuine candidates to partake in the forthcoming Glory and so attain the one Goal of all unenlightened life at the long-prophesied Harvest Time.

The eyes of the New Spirit are now sweeping the world, seeking out true hearts who may actually invoke Divinity into this world, for the heart of humanity is the only channel through which the liberating divine Spirit may enter this world to transmute the karma of ages and lift up all those who choose to serve the Divine Plan for world and mankind in this period.

Long is the night for the sleepless.
Long is the road for the weary.
Long is the cycle of continued rebirth and suffering
for the foolish who have not recognised
the Truth and the requirements of
today's unprecedented Opportunity.

Critical Mass

The following quote is pulled from "Servers of the Divine Plan - The Destiny of Ages is Nigh" freely available on www.thenewcall.org


[QUOTE]

* Esoterically speaking, the critical mass is not a number of individual souls but rather a minimal Light-quotient able to be infused into the planetary grid by way of the invocation and reception of divine Light by viable souls who are incarnate on Earth. The rise of Indigo and Crystal incarnations over the last decade is part of a plan to meet the minimal Light-quotient for the planet.

The Global Agenda is no less than the invincible Divine Plan for humanity and the planet itself, and the exultant fanfares of its prophesied and long-awaited triumph for this current phase of solar evolution will be heard by all mankind soon after the required critical mass has been gathered together under the auspicious guidance of the Servers. Strategically-placed nodes of light (comprising many souls who have aligned themselves with the Divine Will in holy service) will then begin to expand, linking-up around the world via the Earth's subtle energy grid to form one great sphere of loving force that will be responsible for launching the whole planet into a higher reality.

The dedicated collaboration of a minimal number amongst humanity is required for the great shift to be achieved; yet due to the fact that in the past the number of souls required to constitute the critical mass could not be mustered, the planetary Hierarchy has been forced to make necessary postponements; humanity has not been ready to co-operate with its spiritual Elders for the important cause of its own liberation. To date, this is generally still the case, and so more and more Servers have been incarnating upon the physical plane during the last few decades in order to satisfy planetary karmic law by contributing toward the critical mass, thus accepting the same grand opportunity which the majority of human beings have thus far ignored. However, each day the planetary deadline draws closer and every person will soon find that they are coerced by the intensifying world conditions to brace themselves in preparation for the veritable tidal waves of divine force that are about to radically alter life on Earth. The frequency of the planetary vibration is presently escalating; everything in the world today is speeding up in readiness to receive the forthcoming torrents of vital energy, and this inevitable process has been prophetically termed 'The Quickening'.

Many Servers who are presently in incarnation have been preparing over numerous lifetimes for their impending final success and subsequent release from the grossness of the old Earth. For them the birth of the New World will signify the long-awaited fulfilment of a grand mission that began ages ago, while for a number of other 'younger' souls, it will throw open for the very first time the Portal of Initiation inviting them to cross the threshold dividing the physical plane from the higher worlds. This unparalleled opportunity for the ascension of consciousness will be expedited for many human beings as awakened Servers guide and accompany them into the New World in group formation, and in thus precipitating a much brighter awareness globally, the ensuing collective awakening of mankind will ultimately facilitate the prophesied return of the Christ-Consciousness upon Earth.

It is imperative that Servers awaken and take up their positions before the planetary deadline is reached, or face the grim prospect of failing their duty. The day of opportunity is with us - both for Servers and humanity - but it has its term. Today's unprecedented occasion, full of grace, is not forever lasting and will not dawn again for all those rejected souls for many thousands of years. The goals and purposes of the Divine Plan for this closing period of the Piscean age will come to an ultimate conclusion, and soon. The planetary time-clock will presently strike the hour, sounding the end of this cycle. At that moment, those who are ready to receive the descent of higher frequencies of spiritual energy will rise and prevail as they pass with the Earth into a more expansive dimension.

The Divine Plan for planet Earth cannot fail, for it is in line with the Great Scheme of Evolution designed by the One Creative Universal Intelligence; therefore it must and will go ahead. The Aquarian age will bring in a civilisation, culture and fresh spirituality that will be utterly different to anything hitherto known. All those of humanity who, along with Servers, aspire to take their rightful place before the presently widening portal of opportunity that leads to the New World, should ensure today that they are informed, aware, dedicated and so prepared to confidently welcome the imminent planetary deadline and to consequently greet the New Dawn with a song of gratitude and joy.

[END QUOTE]

This information was transmitted over a decade ago. Reportedly, that phase of preparation has passed. We are now in what has been called "The Waiting Period". It has been said that the accumulation of this critical mass is the only thing that is holding off the Tribulations. It is said that once this state is reached, The Ark and all viable Souls will withdraw from this plane, leaving only the fallen, the "living dead" behind.

Think of it. If all who are capable of living in alignment with Divine Will (the so-called "good")are withdrawn from this plane, what then, will be left? You guessed it.

Who are the "living dead"? Those souls who did not hear The Call, did not prepare, remained focused on their iPhones, glamour, money, power, control and self-aggrandizing. They may be physically alive, but spiritually, they are dead, dead, dead. These are the souls that will be ultimately purged by astral fire.

Perhaps one has taken notice of the popularity of vampire movies and TV shows being provided by the "entertainment" industry (which should actually be re-named as "the mind-control industry")? There are several reasons for this, but i feel that aeonic powers are working to plant the seed in the mind of The Sleeping that being "undead" and living in a netherworld forever may not be so bad. Actually, it's made to appear downright appealing. The men are so handsome (although a little pasty-faced) and the women so alluring! Who wouldn't want to be "undead"?

All those who have ears to hear, let them hear. There are precious few grains left in the hourglass. Renounce the material world. Firmly reset your intent towards becoming a part of what is ahead for those who choose to cooperate with the Divine Plan (the New Heaven and the New Earth). This world of the senses is a trap for the soul. To escape it, one must commit to leaving everything, everything, behind.

The following is offered as strong advice only:

Turn away. Turn away and don't look back.

Our Ultimate Future - Conclusion

From "The Hidden Side of Things" by C.W. Leadbeater. Originally published in 1913.

The following excerpt concludes a discussion on the long-term future of the human life wave, of which we are a part.

[QUOTE]

1489. Clairvoyance enables us to examine a much larger section of the earth' s past history than can be reached along ordinary lines; and this fuller study of the past makes it possible, to some extent, to forecast by analogy some of the steps in the more immediate future. From such a study of the records it appears fairly certain that we are at the moment passing through a transition period, and that instead of representing, as we often fondly imagine, the highest development yet seen on earth, we are in reality in the trough between two waves of progress.

The democratic tendency of which some of us are so proud does not represent, as is generally supposed, the ultimate achievement of human wisdom, but is an experiment which was tried thoroughly and carried out to its logical conclusion thousands of years ago, and then abandoned in universal disgust as irrational, unworkable, and leading to endless confusion. If we are to repeat the course of that experiment, it seems unpleasantly certain that we shall have to pass through a good deal of this confusion and suffering once again, before we arrive at the stage of common sense which Mr. Wells so happily describes in the story previously mentioned.

1490. But when that madness is over and reason begins to reassert itself, it is manifest that there will be before us a period of far more rapid progress, in which we shall be able to avail ourselves of many aids which are not now at our disposal. The mere fact that the use of the higher faculties is slowly spreading among humanity, will presently make an almost
incalculable difference in many directions.

1491. Imagine a condition in which all deception or fraud will be impossible, in which misunderstandings can no longer occur, because each man can read the thought of the other-- in which no one will ever again be set to do work for which he is unfitted, because from the first, parents and tutors will be able to see exactly the capacities of those committed to their care-- in which a doctor cannot make mistakes, because he will see for himself exactly what is the matter with his patient, and can watch in detail the action of his remedies. Think what a difference it will make in our lives when death no longer separates us from those whom we love, because the astral world lies open to us just as does the physical; when it will be impossible for men any longer to doubt the reality of the Divine scheme, because its lower stages are visibly before their eyes. Art and music will be far grander then, for astral colours and harmonies will be at our command as well as those which we now know.

1492. The problems of science will be solved, for the vast additions to human knowledge will blend all its branches into one perfect scheme. Geometry and mathematics will be far more satisfactory, because we shall then see what they really mean and what part they play in the splendid system of the worlds.

1494. Every feature of life will be wider and fuller, because we shall see much more than we do now of the beautiful and wonderful world in which our lot is cast; understanding more, we cannot but admire and love more, so we shall be infinitely happier, as we draw steadily nearer to that ultimate perfection which is absolute happiness, because it is union with the Eternal Love.

Our Ultimate Future

From "The Hidden Side of Things" by C.W. Leadbeater. Originally published in 1913. Life as seen through the eyes of a clairvoyant (one who has the ability to see in the higher, non-physical worlds). Highly recommended reading. The next few posts will bring some of this work forward.

The following excerpt discusses the long-term future of the human life wave, of which we are a part.

[QUOTE]

1479. THE FUTURE

1481. It may be of interest to see what light is thrown upon the problem of the future by the higher extensions of human consciousness of which we have spoken elsewhere. We find that from this point of view the future divides itself into three parts-- the immediate, the remote, and the ultimate; and, oddly enough, it is of that which is furthest from us that we are able to speak with the greatest certainty, because the plan of evolution is visible to the higher sight, and its goal is clear. Nothing can interfere with the attainment of that goal, but the stages that lead up to it may be largely modified by the free-will of the individuals concerned, and can,
therefore, be foreseen only in their general outline.

1482. The end, so far as this cycle is concerned, is the accomplishment of the perfection of man. Each individual is to become something much more than what we now mean by a great and good man, for he is to be perfect in intellect and capacity as well as spirituality. All the intellect of the
greatest philosopher or man of science, and far more; all the devotion and spirituality of the greatest of saints, and far more; these are to be the possessions of every unit of humanity before our cycle ends.

1483. To understand how such a stupendous result can be possible, we must grasp the plan by which evolution works. Obviously, on the ordinary theory of one poor little life of seventy years, followed by an eternity of purposeless joy or suffering, nothing of this sort could ever be achieved; but when once we realise that what we commonly call our life is only one day in the real life, and that we may have just as many of such days as are necessary for our development, we see that the command of Christ: “Be ye perfect even as your Father in heaven is perfect,” is no vain hyperbole, but a plain direction which we may reasonably expect to be able in due
time to obey.

1484. The ultimate future, then, is perfection for every human being, no matter how low or undeveloped he may now be. Man will become more than man. This is what was meant in the early Church by the doctrine of 'deification' to which many of the Fathers refer. It is a matter not of pious opinion but of utter certainty to those who see the working of the scheme.

1485. Obviously, however, we are yet very far from this attainment; a long upward path lies before us before we can reach that far-distant summit, and though on the whole it rises steadily, there must necessarily be many minor ups and downs in the future as there have been in the past. History shows us that hitherto the advancement mankind has been cyclic in its
character.

1486. Each unit lives his long series of progressive lives, not in one race but in many successive races, in order that he may learn the special lessons which each has to teach. One can image a soul incarnating in ancient India to develop religious fervour, in classical Greece to gain artistic capacity, in the Rome of the Caesars to learn the immense power of discipline and order, among ourselves at the present day to acquire the scientific habit of mind, and so on.

1487. The same great host of souls sweeps on through all ages, animating all these races in turn, and learning from all; but the races themselves arise, grow, decay and fall as they are needed. So when a nation loses its former glory and falls behind in the race (as, for example, modern Greece seems to have done in comparison with ancient Greece), it does not mean that a certain group of men is decadent, but that there are at the moment no souls who need precisely the type of training which that race at its best used to give, or that that training is now being given elsewhere.

1488. Consequently, the physical bodies of the descendants of those great men of old are now animated by souls of a lower type, while the great men themselves are now (as ever) in the forefront of evolution, but incarnated in some other race in order to grow still greater by developing in new directions. A race dies precisely as a class at a university might die if
there were no longer any students taking up that particular subject.

The Key, Part I - Christos

There are many whose eyes glaze over at the mention of the word "Christ", who get angry, feel threatened, confused or fearful at the very idea. For a few minutes, put aside the beliefs you inherited from your parents, or were impressed upon you by others, or discovered for yourself. Reach deep inside and recognize that on a soul level, you understand that there must be an ultimate Truth. Realize that you are actively searching for that Truth, and only you can be responsible for how that search is conducted.

Recognize that to surrender your right to seek Truth to any religion or dogma, is to forfeit your God-given free will to choose. It is to forfeit your Destiny.

Therefore, read what follows not as a member of any faith or religion but as a fallen soul at a point of unrest, seeking that which will provide The Key which will open the Doors of Perception and lead out of Darkness to the Divine Kingdom.

~~ g

The next three separate sources explain what "Christ" actually means. There are scores of excerpts that could have been used, as this Truth has been laying around for Ages. In the interest of brevity, three will have to suffice for now. Empasis and italics were added by BG.

First,

"Christ or Christos, we must remember, is not a proper name. It is a title. It means ‘anointed’. To anoint is to bahir, bathe or baptize oneself in the Holy Spirit. In Egypt this anointing was depicted as a baptism in the waters or keys (tones) of life. In esoteric terms Christos or Christ, the Holy Spirit, INRI is a tone, frequency, vibration or ray that emanates from the Healing Sun that cleanses and purifies. This explains why Aton, the Egyptian name for the healing rays of the Central Sun, is also the root for Adon or “Lord,” a title later given to Jesus." -- The Ark of the Christos

Here's another,

"Firstly it should be understood that Christ is not a personality of majestic stature residing somewhere outside the dense material world, but is essentially an impersonal, cosmic Being, manifesting Itself as divine Light, Force, Love and Wisdom in a mighty Radiation Field. When Jesus was 30 years of age, a ray of the Cosmic Christ entered his prepared microcosm and used it until the climax of His mission at Golgotha. After the ascension of the dense body of Jesus, Christ appeared among His disciples in the vital (etheric) body, in which He functioned for some time. The vital body is the vehicle which Christ will use in these times as he comes "on the clouds of heaven" - 'the clouds of heaven' being the divine etheric plane. He will never take another dense body on Earth, for that phase of the Divine Plan of Salvation, which took place in the very nadir of manifestation of the Earth-evolution, is past. This is why only those with spiritual perception will behold the Christ in these times of His reappearance." -- The New Call

and finally,

"...true Christianity, as preached by Jesus of Nazareth, was not partisan and had no rival religions. It was simply a logical further development in the world-wide religious and Messianic Plan outlined in the Pyramid and manifested in all the world's major religions. Our research into the Pyramid necessitates a view, in other words, which sees Jesus not as an opponent of figures such as Osiris, the Buddha, Krishna, Lao Tzu or Quetzalcoatl...but rather as their logical and ultimate successor.

Consequently, whatever Jesus taught is likely to have been a logical and consistent development of the core of those earlier beliefs - nothing less than a re-statement of a knowledge that was once universal among the whole of ancient mankind, the true religion from which all established religions have since developed, or rather, declined.

None the less, many "Christians" (quotes are BG's) will take the celebrated text: 'I am the way; I am the truth and I am life; no one comes to the Father except by me' (John 14:6) as directly justifying the assumption that Christianity alone, of all religions, has hold of the Truth. It should be remembered, however, that the statement is made by the Jesus of John's gospel, whose author makes it quite clear at the beginning that his Christos is an eternal spirit who existed before time began. He is the life-giving Word, or 'man-thought', of God -- none other than the same Holy spirit who in all three gospels descends on Jesus 'like a dove' at his baptism. From that moment onward, the man, Jesus, becomes that Spirit's embodiment or incarnation, and what he says is said specifically in Its name." -- The Great Pyramid Decoded

...end of excerpts.

The Key

From now on, when you read the New Testament, comprehend that the entity named Jesus does not speak of, from, or for himself. It is The Christ principle speaking.The personality that incarnated as Jesus, after years of seeking and studying, accepted the Christine Radiation into his heart. This was the Baptism, and remains the true, underlying symbolism to today's use of the term.

Now, pick up the four gospels of the New Testament (Matthew, Mark, Luke, John), and read them again. This time, with Eyes, Heart and Mind wide open. Use The Key.

The Truth was left for us, and has always been there, even though it was purposely distorted. You always knew it was there.

Now, find it.

The following verse refers specifically to our search for Truth:

"Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you; For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks the door shall be opened". -- Matthew 7:7-8

** Portal To The New World **

The following is from Servers of the Divine Plan, the chapter is entitled The Portal to the New World

The decision has been made to include this passage in its entirety. All italics and emphasis have been added.

[QUOTE]

DEDICATED GROUPS ARE TODAY MAKING CONTACT with divine Intelligence upon the inner side of life with the sole intention of uniting in holy service for the greatest possible good. Thus so, certain spiritual forces are made available and are facilitating the dissolution of all personal concerns in the joy, security and purpose of group communion, while simultaneously opening an invisible channel within the centre of the group through which these forces may flow.

Inevitably, grace streams forth via the higher planes and through such purposefully-constructed conduits of spiritual blessing, thereby illuminating the consciousness and opening the hearts of those present. Such a process catalyses the rapid transmutation of all gross auric energies, thereby releasing personal psycho-emotional blockages and producing various healing wonders as it leads to emancipation from all worldly pain and suffering. The unselfish and intelligent use of such a powerful method of conducting divine energy in these favourable times gives rise to the construction of a potent ethereal circuit that blazes a stream of electric force through every opened heart and bestows Revelation upon the whole group as each individual's consciousness fuses and unites with the group mind and is subsequently lifted into luminous spiritual realms where the experience of unconditional love for everyone and everything is known. Thus are portals to the hidden worlds opened and traversed.

Yet this is not all; indeed, it is only the beginning, for in employing the Law of Invocation synergetically within the group, the corresponding influx of divine force not only uplifts and sanctifies the consciousness of those responsible for its induction, but then proceeds to radiate outwards from the centre, simultaneously effecting the transmutation of negative energies in the surrounding environment by purifying, healing and vivifying all the kingdoms of life on Earth: mineral, vegetable, animal and, of course, human. Such auspicious activity today is, in part, responsible for the summoning, anchoring and worldwide distribution of the new Aquarian frequencies of light-energy. These new energies are preparing the way for the descent of the Christ-Consciousness in many by fostering the emergence of the spiritual human being upon the planet, and are thus contributing toward the establishment of the "Kingdom of God" on Earth.

The manifestation of metaphysical portals may be greatly facilitated by the positive influence of certain Earth-energies, and havens for refuge, healing and preparation are being established by Servers around existing Earth-vortexes upon the physical plane in readiness to be used as portals for consciousness to travel into the higher worlds. These havens are destined to become veritable beacons of light due to the intense spiritual activity which they will engender. Awakened Servers are being attracted to assist in the construction and consecration of such 'arks' which, among many other things, will offer the needed protection from the 'global flood' that is now imminent. Amongst the ranks of such Servers, those who have integrated unity consciousness into their lives will act as gatekeepers of the portals, and will thereby fulfil the ultimate part of their function as harvesters.

As the Piscean age draws to a close, those who have adequately raised their vibratory rate of consciousness by responding positively to world need and, therefore, by serving humanity together in groups, will have the opportunity to pass through the Portal of Initiation prior to the major planetary Initiation itself. Other servants of the race will be able to follow later as they are duly honoured, rewarded and liberated at a time that is in alignment with their personal and group programs, and to a level that is in direct proportion to the degree to which they have given of themselves in selfless service over numerous incarnations.

It should be understood that the Portal of Initiation leading to the New World may only be traversed in group formation; such is a law of the Aquarian age. All those accomplished candidates for ascension will assemble on this side of the portal, as it were, and once the group conduit has been opened by righteous and timely invocation, a flood of Servers will pour through. Upon the inner side, these triumphant individuals will behold a 'stairway of light' spiralling forth from the mundane realms of the physical plane. This endless stair will be very familiar to all Servers, extending ever-upward and disappearing from sight as it merges into fathomless brilliance above. The border of these ethereal steps will be lined with deceased loved ones, angelic guides, prophets and saintly personalities of past Earthly accomplishment and renown, together with a myriad miscellany of curiously familiar divine Agents from other lofty civilisations who will be waiting in readiness to assist all those worthy souls along the way, as well as to share in the spiritual merit harvested from Earth by the Servers. A momentous greeting and most loving reception indeed awaits those who achieve what they originally set out to do by passing a long and stringent test spanning lifetimes of trials. All is balanced and rewarded perfectly by divine Order at the Harvest Time.

Via a profusion of intentionally-opened portals around the planet, there will occur multiple ascensions of groups of Servers preceding multiple resurrections, when many will return to Earth etherealised and functioning in full multidimensional consciousness. This phenomenon will continue up until the moment of the final Great Transition, which shall seal the door where evil dwells, and so liberate humanity on Earth. Such is graduating mankind's predestined fortune - or Deliverance - spoken of in diverse prophecies and found in numerous scriptures of old. Together, then, successful Servers and those amongst humanity who have prepared themselves adequately will progress through levels of group unification as they experience numerous lesser initiations in preparation for the great global Initiation that will escort them all through the Portal and into the New World.

* * *

Once the planetary deadline has arrived, many Servers will have successfully completed their task of ushering Earth into the new cycle and they will no longer choose to remain within the planetary sphere during the succeeding transitions. For these accomplished Servers, Judgement Day will represent an invitation for them to return to their familiar home-density, and, for some, to venture beyond it. Others, even those in close proximity and who may have collaborated personally with the first wave of returning Servers, will not yet leave Gaia; their group program will inspire them to continue in their service of building the New World on Earth during the Aquarian age together with humanity.

At the Harvest Time, those successful Servers who have chosen to leave the Earth spheres will ascend through various worlds and densities on their homeward journey. Having previously reunited with numerous other incarnations of their group-soul upon the physical plane in order to realise together the consummation of the terrestrial element of their grand mission, the most evolved Servers will pass up from third-density Earthly experience in group formation and through the fourth and fifth densities as they are greeted with unprecedented veneration and praise by legions of Celestial Hosts within the unseen worlds, and as they partake in the ineffable glories of the long-promised Great Rejoicing. Continuing onward and upward through the Christed frequency (the sixth density), they will journey on into the seventh sphere: the Buddha realms, where the most exalted Lives within our Cosmic Physical Plane are waiting to move up into the next Octave of evolutionary experience: the Cosmic Astral Plane, an unplumbed region of Infinity where a bright new chapter in the Story of Creation is about to begin.

The reality of such a triumphant return is supernally metaphysical and subtle beyond utterance; the divine reward and supreme exultation awaiting those successful Servers who will once again become transfigured and absorbed into the transcendental refulgence of one perfectly united spiritual consciousness, are incomprehensible and inexpressible in words or concepts. Their well-earned prize will be most befitting, for the liberation of Mother Earth to which they have consecrated themselves - mind, body and spirit - will produce such a tremendous release of divine force in our solar system that the entire Milky Way shall quiver in grateful response; being inseparably connected, every single life throughout the whole galaxy will, on some level, be gracefully and irreversibly touched.

"Behold the great key-keeper of the age has turned the key; the mighty gates fly wide and all who will may greet the King. Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see the King. Take heed! Be strong in mind; be pure in heart; be vigilant in helpfulness; the kingdom is at hand." - Jesus.

The Noble Eightfold Path

From Serving Humanity - A. Bailey & DK

Chapter 13 - Forces of Enlightenment

(excerpt that paraphrases the message of the Buddha)

[QUOTE]

Cease to identify yourself with material things; gain a proper sense of spiritual values; cease regarding possessions and earthly existence as of major importance; follow the Noble Eightfold Path, which is the path of right relations--right relations to God and to each other--and thus be happy. The steps on this Path are:

- Right Values

- Right Speech

- Right Mode of Living

- Right Thinking

- Right Aspiration

- Right Conduct

- Right Effort

- Right Happiness

His ancient message is as new today as it was when He spoke His words on earth; a recognition of its truth and value is desperately needed, and the following of the "eight right ways of living" will enable humanity to find liberation.

Today, as it views the crumbling, devastated world, mankind has a fresh opportunity to reject selfish, materialistic motives and philosophy, and to begin those processes which will--steadily and gradually--bring about its liberation.

[END QUOTE]

Two comments. One, we no longer have the luxury of doing anything "steadily and slowly", as time has just about run out. Immediate, constant and sincere application of these values are what is needed right now.

The second comment is that perhaps these words should be be written down and posted on the refrigerator.

Better yet, how about memorizing them?

On Sharing Truth

To elaborate on a recent discussion:

From Servers of the Divine Plan - The Call To Service

[QUOTE]

The light of the New World Consciousness will inevitably dawn brighter for each individual in direct proportion to the degree of which they give from their hearts for the helping of others. In so doing, the truth of the times will reveal itself to them from within: "And in these hours be anxious not about your speech; you need not think of what to say; for, lo, the Holy Breath will overshadow you and give you words to say." - Jesus.

To share the truth of the times with everyone is to begin to tread the True Path, each moment drawing nearer to the Portal of Liberation. Service, however, may only be rendered where and when it is requested; one cannot free others who are still engrossed in the limitations and conditions of the old world consciousness and its thought-forms by attempting to pull them loose through mere force of mind or emotion. A great many souls will - consciously or unconsciously - choose not to take advantage of the unprecedented opportunity offered them at the forthcoming Harvest Time. Such ones may be recognised by their vibration, and their free will must be honoured, however unfortunate or painful their choice may seem to be. Their turn will surely come around upon another world at some future occasion.

When Servers are not heard or openly received they would do well not to tarry long, but instead venture forward to sow the seeds of Truth generously, for fertile minds do exist in the world that would happily court the light, serve the Divine Plan and so receive the New Spirit.

[END QUOTE]

Within these few words is sound guidance for those who Serve.

What Happened To The Spaceships?

When this blog began, some time back, there were a few posts discussing "evacuation scenarios" and help from our Space Brothers. These posts developed from information that was available to me at that time. That was the Highest Truth known to me at that time.

But one should never stand still, especially when it comes to one's Seeking. As one continues to sincerely Seek, one will inevitably comes in contact with higher levels of information. That is what happened here. New information was revealed from sources who have a much closer experience with humanity, and as such, had a deeper and more involved message to relate regarding this Ending Cycle. It's exactly the same message as was brought before Mankind two thousand years ago, except that it is being spoken in plain language now, not parables: Christ consciousness is in the proces of returning to this planet. This time, not within the form of one man, but in to be received in the hearts of many men and women. Any and every one who seeks and accepts union with the Force, this Consciousness, this Christine Radiation, will be on their way to Eternal Life.

This Ending/Beginning period is the Gate of Choice, where all must decide whether to roll with Christ or roll with Lucifer. That is what this is about. That is all that 3rd density experience has ever been about. Making that choice.

It has become apparent that humanity has a destiny and that our true nature has been hidden from us. Although we are poised at the end of a major world cycle, we are also at the threshold of the next world cycle. It has also become apparent that Man can Transform himself and rise above the tribulations to come, if the proper steps are taken. The talk regarding spaceships has been moved to the back-burner because, whether it's true or not, it can prove to be distracting and misleading, as it is quite probable that some would be content to wait for hardware to appear in our skies and hope to be "saved".

Are there ships posted in this sector of the galaxy, orbiting this planet? Of course. Will they be allowed to participate in lifting humans off the planet? Maybe, maybe not. Should we focus upon this?

No.

It has become apparent that if one diligently and properly prepares oneself spiritually, mentally, emotionally and physically, everything pertaining to continuity of existence will be taken care of. To sit and wait for someone or something else to "save" one is folly. What would Man learn if all he had to do was to wait for "rescue" when the spit hits the fan? Man must rescue himself by ceaselessly seeking Truth, living in unselfish service to others and making the commitment to align his will with that of The Creator. When Man consecrates his life to co-operation with Source, there is no need for fear, as all will be provided.

Not only that, but humanity has a role to play in the transformation of the Earth which is taking place now. There is much to do in the next few months. There are many tasks to be undertaken, group unifications to effect. Waiting for rescue is a waste of valuable time.

Although our Space Brothers are part of the tapestry of this Event, ultimately, they cannot violate the free will of entities on this planet. One can assume that one would have to request a lift before this action could be taken, Right now, due to ceaseless negative propaganda, there are not many humans who are fearless enough to stay within 500 feet of a ship anyway, so there may not be many takers.

Some of our Space Brothers are here strictly as observers, others are here to assist in the Awakening process, still others are here to assist the Earth. All recognize that humans have the power to become their own "spaceship", if humans would but seek remembrance of the Knowledge of how to do so.

So, what happened to the Spaceships? They are still there. However, if humans can do what is needed to transform themselves, if they can band together in dedicated groups of like-minded, spiritual individuals before it is too late, this question goes away, as it will no longer be necessary to ask it.

Humanity can arrange its own transportation.

The Divine Spark

On the nature and meaning of the word "Christ"...

"Christ is not a personality of majestic stature residing somewhere outside the dense material world, but is essentially an impersonal, cosmic Being, manifesting Itself as divine Light, Force, Love and Wisdom in a mighty Radiation Field". TNC

This Christine Radiation Field exists all around us. It exerts a wide influence on all life. This begs a question: if the Christine Love Radiation is all about us, then why is there so much that is anti-Christ, so much that is evil, in the world?

The Christine energy does not force itself upon humanity. It's attraction must be responded to by the human entity, via the agency of

The Divine Spark

Although all humanity is composed of fallen matter, there is, in each person's heart, a small amount of Divine essence. It is known as the Divine Spark. The essence of this spark is not of this fallen world, but is linked to the Divine Kingdom, the Divine Universe.

In the majority of humanity, this Divine Spark lies dormant, unresponsive to the presence of the Christine Radiations. It is only when the man or woman opens their heart up to this Radiation that their slumbering Spark, like a smoldering ember, will slowly begin to be fanned to life. It may burn out again, but once it has been awakened, it will be that much easier to bring the ember to a glow the next time, and the next, until finally, depending on the amount of work that the aspirant puts in, the Divine ember bursts into a roaring flame.

Self-less Service, sincere, unselfish Love and Devotion to all other-selves and to all Life, are effective and available means of awakening one's Divine Spark. The key words there are "self-less" and "sincere". What impedes many from making this critical start towards Liberation is that humans have been so self-focused, self-centered, self-involved and self-ish for so long, that many find it a struggle to release their self-focus and to focus instead on what can one do for the good of the group, for the good of the whole.

Where has our selfishness gotten us? What has our unceasing self-focus brought us? Most are not truly happy, no matter how much they attempt to accumulate for themselves, whatever it may be - money, food, sex, drugs, prestige, power. Material sensation after sensation after sensation, leading to naught but death.

When an earth-bound soul awakens its Spark, it can be likened to the process of childbirth, for one is indeed, "giving Birth to the Christ-child within". With this birth begins the Journey from death to Life.

The foregoing is highly simplified but should be enough for the sincere seeker to contemplate and/or investigate. Man holds the keys to his own salvation. Unwittingly, he cannot find it because he is sitting on it.

Matthew 16:25 "For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it; but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it." - The Christ, speaking through Jesus.

This is not about religion. It is about Truth. There is no religion higher than Truth.

To Whom This May Concern

Again, from The Revelation - A Message Of Hope For The New Millenium -- Barbara Marx Hubbard

[QUOTE]

Dearly beloved on planet Earth, harken to my words. The silence in Heaven is about to end. The doorway to the New Jerusalem is about to open. The tribulations are about to start. The Quantum Instant is near.

I call upon you to activate the capacities to save the world from self-destruction. I call upon you to undertake a mission comparable to the first disciples of Jesus. They were the first to carry the message of the reality of our potentials to the nations.

You are to be the last to carry the message.

They lived at the beginning of the change. You live at the "end times", when the old shall pass away and the new shall appear.

This text is a call to action to the new disciples of Christ to manifest their own capacity to do as I did, and more. This text is for the avant garde of humanity who awaken with love in their hearts and joy in the spirit of the glory which shall be revealed to us.

I call upon Homo Universalis, those in whom the flame of expectation burns high, to set about the double task of self-transformation and the activation of the world's capacity to achieve the goal of its history.

You are to become natural Christs. You are to communicate to the world its potentials to restore the Earth, free the people, and impregnate the universe with a new life. You are to participate in the Instant of Co-operation, the Planetary Birth, the Second Coming.

You are to bring on the shared contact with me. You are to ascend to the New Jerusalem. You are to overcome physical death. You are to be in touch with your universal brothers and sisters. You are the first sons and daughters of humanity to become Sons and Daughters of God.

My mission was to demonstrate that humanity has the capacity to act like God. Your mission is to prove me right by demonstrating your capacity to do as I did, and even more.

Every person on Earth must know that he or she has the freedom to choose life-everlasting, through love of God, and of their neighbor and self as me. Then the end shall come.

The word you are to put forth is that every person on Earth has the choice of life-everlasting through the activation of the full individual potential. The word you are to put forth is that every person on Earth has the innate capacity to be a co-creator. The word you are to put forth is that the time for decision is ending.

Yours is the feather that tilts the scale. Yours is the grain of salt that crystallizes the solution. Yours is the flame that makes the steaming water boil.

Yours is the most marvelous moment in the history of humanity. Put forth the word. Sound the trumpet.

Heaven awaits your act.

The Second Death - A Must To Avoid

The following is excerpted from The Revelation - A Message Of Hope For The New Millenium - Barbara Marx Hubbard

[QUOTE]

"And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and the books were opened; and another book was opened, which is the Book of Life; and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to his works. And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them; and they were judged every man according to his works. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the Book of Life, was cast into the lake of fire". Revelations 20 : 12-15

During the final days of this phase of evolution, there is an evolutionary evaluation of every thought, intention and act of every person who ever lived, as well as every species that ever lived.

The criterion is: Has this act contributed to the next phase or has it detracted?

All human acts, intentions and desires that work toward alignment with God's design, love of all beings as self and love of self as Christ or co-creator will be selected for.

All humans whose acts, intentions and desires have registered these qualities will be resurrected at this time. This means that their DNA codes and memory bank, which are registered in the Universal Mind, the Book of Life, will serve as the template to rebuild their bodies as Jesus rebuilt his own body, from materials which exist everywhere -- hydrogen, oxygen, calcium, iron. Their new bodies will be like the risen body of Jesus. The unused DNA in each of their codes is used to change the characteristic of the body from pro-creative to co-creative. They will be in perfect alignment with the evolutionary design, the will of God.

All humans whose acts, intentions and desires were primarily self-centered, those who did not love God, neighbor or self, do not evolve to the next phase of Earth-life. That is a painful fact. There is survival of the fittest. "Fit" means able to know God, not through some theology or institution, but as an experience of higher love, good and wholeness, by whatever name it is called.

By your acts you shall be judged as to whether you can evolve, or must be "cast into the lake of fire", which is the second death.

Your first death is when your animal body decomposes. At that time, your soul is liberated. When sufficiently evolved, it is held in a holding pattern, waiting for the next step of Earth's evolution. At the time of the judgment, all waiting souls have the opportunity to be selected for evolutionary tasks at the next level.

Those who are ready -- sufficiently educated -- are selected and reconstituted. Those who are not sufficiently educated to align with the design, experience God's purification process as long as necessary, until they learn how to know God or the the Intention of Creation experientially. They cannot return to the new Earth or the new Heaven, in a self-centered state.

The second death is final as far as Earth is concerned. On Earth a new order of co-operation and empowerment prevails. At the co-creative stage of evolution, one self-centered soul is like a lethal cancer cell in a body: deadly to itself and to the whole. The more complex and inter-related an organism, the more lethal a single cancer cell becomes.

The soul can learn elsewhere in the universe. When it is ready, it will choose a planetary system at the right stage for the education it requires. In the last two thousand years, planet Earth has been filled with volunteer old souls who chose to complete their education in whole-centeredness by working on a planet with the twin defects of carnivorous behavior and forgetfulness of God. This is very difficult. Earth is known as the best place for an intensive course in God's School for Conscious Evolution. It's an assignment for the courageous.

Those of you who have a sense of having volunteered to come to Earth at this time will know what I mean. Your profound alienation from the behavior pattern of killing and selfishness marks you as one who has been sealed with the seal of the living God.

It may be that you had to kill to eat, or to survive, and that you had to act selfishly while you were here. But it never felt natural to you. And indeed, it is not natural. It is sick.

That is why you are here, dearly beloved, to help Earth recover. In this text, I am simply reminding you of what you already know. The particular strand of humanity for whom this text is written has already experienced a perfect cosmic birth elsewhere. you know what it feels like. You know from experience that time is running out on the current transition from Earthbound to Universal life. You are deeply activated at this instant, for the "half hour of silence" in Heaven is almost over.

This text is written to remind you of why you are here, to help you find others who are here for the same purpose...

The Great Symphony

From Servers of the Divine Plan -- excerpted from The Group Program, The Portal to the New World

[QUOTING]

Upon their Earthly sojourn all Servers must initially venture forth upon a lonely path, separated from their soul-family and isolated in their search for Life and Purpose. During their quest for remembrance they will naturally seek to share something of the Truth which they have recalled so far, and to offer that understanding which is theirs to others wherever they may find themselves and in whatever capacity they labour. Individually, their task may seem small, but collectively they form a very substantial global latticework of spiritual light, forged today in readiness for the physical manifestation of Light Centres all around the planet.

Today, as the planetary deadline draws swiftly closer, many of those who have worked during the past in relative seclusion are consciously seeking to unite with kindred souls in order that group synergy may be potentiated and so that the great ethereal web of light - now woven around the globe and interpenetrating it - may be vitalised to its highest capacity and its potencies thenceforth released upon the physical plane where they will ultimately proceed invincibly to effect the necessary, long-overdue and complete healing of planet Earth together with all life thereupon.

It should be understood that, contrary to popular belief and during the transition period, those Light Centres having the most far-reaching and beneficent influence will not be primarily healing centres; they will be centres of spiritual service bearing many different functions, only one of which shall be personal healing. It is the responsibility of genuine spiritual communities to offer a field of service to those who wish to help raise the planetary consciousness by purifying their own. Selfless service, in raising the vibratory rate of consciousness, induces a process of transmutation and necessarily confers comprehensive healing, yet does not focus solely upon it, and this is a vital key to success during the birth of the New World. Healing is an integral part of any truly divine work, but should it be the prime focus of any community, then such a group will be extremely limited from the start, for there is something of far greater moment than personal healing and happiness, and which is today calling humanity from divine spheres.

Following the efficient, logical framework exemplified by all successful esoteric schools of the past, the occult structure of Light Centres in the Aquarian age will incorporate inner and outer circles. These concentric rings of serviceful activity will reflect the degree of spiritual attainment and, therefore, capabilities of those souls who work within their boundaries. In accordance with their own abilities, level of commitment, purity of motive, point of spiritual attainment and merit, aspirants will be naturally drawn inwards toward those groups who demonstrate greater spiritual influence and responsibility. Each person will find the appropriate position or office that will present the best opportunities for them, while simultaneously harmonising with the collective purpose and, therefore, the good of the whole group.

* * *

Much more important, then, than the personal program is the group program, yet greater even than the group program is the Global Agenda, which embraces the sum total of all efforts made by the multifarious assemblages of Servers - both physically incarnated and incorporeal - who will together usher in the New World Consciousness on Earth and thus assist in preparing humanity for the birth of the New Eden for planet Earth. The Global Agenda is no less than the invincible Divine Plan for humanity and the planet itself, and the exultant fanfares of its prophesied and long-awaited triumph for this current phase of solar evolution will be heard by all mankind soon after the required critical mass has been gathered together under the auspicious guidance of the Servers. Strategically-placed nodes of light (comprising many souls who have aligned themselves with the Divine Will in holy service) will then begin to expand, linking-up around the world via the Earth's subtle energy grid to form one great sphere of loving force that will be responsible for launching the whole planet into a higher reality.

The essential nature of the group program may be regarded esoterically as a great and sovereign Thought that was conceived within the Mind of God at the beginning of Creation, and which has since been constantly expanding and developing. This Cosmic Idea is an integral part of the Universal Divine Plan of Evolution for all life throughout Infinity. Its particular form of expression, as it influences our world, is ever being adjusted to integrate appropriately with the current cycle of development so that it may correspond with and assist the specific level of consciousness demonstrated by humanity at its particular stage of spiritual unfoldment.

Forever, the group program has manifested itself as an intelligent and purposeful evolutionary pattern incorporating great complementary Forces that have progressively advanced themselves throughout innumerable incarnations in a multitude of different worlds. Originating from diverse realms in all parts of the Cosmos, these consciously-evolving Forces are ensouled within the lower spheres of the universe by a myriad of both collective and singular embodiments. Karmically related each to the other, these temporarily individualised and differentiated lives are naturally impelled to coalesce and separate repeatedly during innumerable interdimensional transmigrations of intentional service across vast regions of space and eons of time.

Each seemingly separate life knows that it is essentially an indivisible part of the Whole, and that in synergetic union far greater achievements may be realised than by the sum efforts of the individual parts alone. Cosmic law greatly favours the cumulative and selflessly-directed attention of a group of dedicated souls who are able to work together as one. When pure motives for loving service are foremost, unity consciousness draws upon an insuperable Power that ever bestows the assurance of success, and the group program has always as its indomitable motivating thrust the sole determination to fulfil perfectly the behests of the Divine Plan. Therefore, absolutely nothing in the whole of Creation can prevent the inevitable triumph of the group program.

A brief, mystical analogy may here serve to offer just a hint of the complex dynamics that are initiated within the higher worlds when awakened Servers begin to reunite for group work upon the physical plane. Each individualised fragment of the group-soul and its personality (the Server) bears a unique musical chord. Timing is of the essence, and when the soul-family regroups once again at the appointed hour upon Earth, each individual tone will combine to produce a transcendental code that will be peculiar to the group, and which will confer certain occult privileges. When the correct number and combination of notes are sounded together synchronously, a secret latch will be triggered, a hidden portal will be opened, and a great Mystery shall be revealed.

It is thus that the overall collective mission of Servers upon Earth might be compared to a great symphony comprising many and diverse musical notes. Yet if one or more within the planetary orchestra ventured to play their instrument too early and before time, a dissonance would be heard, a confusion would eventuate amongst all the players, the medley would fracture, and the world auditorium would be thrown into disharmony with the Divine Plan. For the global symphony proper cannot really begin before a certain stage of world preparedness. However, let all awakening Servers and readied humanity alike now be assured that they are about to commence playing the most beautiful and melodious part of the Great Rhapsody in which all Earth-life has been waiting to partake since mankind's fall from Paradise.

Servers, awaken. Shake off the sleep of Duality, begin the processes of Purification and Remembrance. When the house lights dim, and the curtain begins to rise, all must be in their positions. All must be ready to play.

A Vision of Our Future

A Vision of Our Future

[QUOTING]

You-in -the-future will be as different from yourselves-in-the-present as you today are different from early Homo-Sapiens, several hundred thousand years ago.

Your body will not decay. It will shine with the radiance of the total love you feel for God and all beings.

Your eyes will be lit with the fire of Joy that you are the blessed son or daughter of God, co-creative on a universal scale.

Your feet will be like fine brass. You will glow with a bio-magnetic field through which you will materialize and dematerialize, ascend and descend, from one vibratory plane to another. You will glitter and coruscate with the radiance generated by the intensity of your coherent thought in alignment with God.

Your voice will have the sound of many waters. It will flow effortlessly with the profound oratory of perfect meaning and truth in every word.You will know what to say at all times as your mind is linked with the Mind of God. Remember the most eloquent moment of your life. Multiply it by the intelligence of God and imagine what you will sound like when you have inherited God-like powers!

Out of your mouth will come words of perfect discernment: Yes, this is consonant with God's will; No, that is not consonant with God's will. Your voice will be a two-edged sword. You will constantly cut away that which is off the mark. You will be able to align your will with the Will of God at all times. Your power to create or destroy will come from God.

Your countenance will be as glorious as the Sun, shining with the strength given to you by your heirship as a son or daughter of God. As Jesus was transfigured, so you will be transfigured when you recognize that you are the direct children of God.

Your nervous systems must be prepared to accept the shock of seeing yourself-in-the-future in its full potential. Your self-confidence must be high enough to accept your inheritance. Confidence means "to trust with". You are trusting me, as an elder brother who has already plunged from the high-diving board when he beckons you onward saying "Follow me. You can do it, too".

Do not be afraid, Beloved. I have come to earth to demonstrate your potential. I took a mortal body like yours to demonstrate your potential to build a new body. I did not suffer on the cross and rise again on the third day to show you what I could do, but what you can do. Yours is the power. Yours is the glory. That is my message to you!

[END QUOTING]

Your move.

Re: One Foot...

... just want to add that the previous post One Foot In, One Foot Out does not imply that such "straddling" is the best choice. Those of weak or irresolute will can find themselves overcome by this strategy, as the Illusion is powerful.

Not only that, but time is very, very short. We no longer have the luxury of being able to "meander through the meadow", smelling the flowers. There are very few grains left in the hour-glass.

It is best to take all steps possible now to make a full and complete break with the Illusion. Eventually, all must do so anyway. One can either choose to do so now, while Grace is available to assist everyone, or one can continue "struggling in the bog" for another few hundred thousands of years...or more.

Live a life of intelligent detachment. Neutralize your emotions. Be neither for nor against those things which are of the world. Meditate. Seek Truth. Purify your vehicles. Stay above the fray.

Remember: Energy Follows Thought; What Is Focused Upon, Grows.

We must withdraw our focus from this undivine kingdom, and re-direct that focus towards the Divine Kingdom we wish to realize.

One Foot In, One Foot Out...

A question arose recently regarding the difficulties of living a life of detachment while one is still enmeshed in the Illusion. Although the road to Liberation requires extricating oneself from the Illusion, the difficulties of modern life should pose little impediment if one sincerely works to adjust one's Thinking and one's Approach to the Dual Life.

The following is excerpted from "Serving Humanity" by Alice Bailey / Djwhal Kuhl

WORKING UNDER EXISTING CONDITIONS

1. Progress is made in spite of, and not because of existing conditions. For disciples. . .there is no retiring from the world. There is no condition of physical peace wherein the soul may (not) be invoked. . . .The work has to go forward in clamour. The point of peace must be found in the midst of riot. Wisdom must be attained in the very midst of intellectual turmoil, and the work of co-operation with the Hierarchy on the inner side of life, must proceed amidst the devastating racket of modern life in the great cities.

2. Your problem is not to get rid of difficulties, but simply to be indifferent as to whether they exist or not.

3. Be content with your duty and the immediate service which will lead you a step further upon the way unto which you are ordained, and this way you can travel rapidly and with eager feet, or slowly and with lagging steps.

DUAL LIFE OF THE DISCIPLE

The trained intuitive or disciple lives ever the dual life of mundane activity and of intense and simultaneous spiritual reflection. This will be the outstanding characteristic of the Western disciple in contra-distinction to the Eastern disciple, who escapes from life into the silent places and away from the pressures of daily living and constant contact with others.

The task of the Western disciple is much harder, but that which he will prove to himself and to the world as a whole, will be still higher. This is to be expected if the evolutionary process is to mean anything.

[END QUOTING]

If one wishes to, or is constrained to, maintain their earthly responsibilities, then by all means, do so. A key was given to all embedded in a phrase spoken by The Christ:

"Render unto Caesar that which belongs to Caesar; render unto God that which belongs to God".

What we are dealing with now is what The Christ was specifically referring to over 2,000 years ago.

Pay your taxes. File those invoices. Clothe, feed and care for those entrusted to your care. Do all the things that are required of those of us who chose to incarnate in the modern world, in this closing cycle. But only give these things the time that they are allotted, reserving time for spiritual introspection, investigation, meditation, communion with the Divine Higher Self.

Don't brood and complain over your taxes. Don't place undue emphasis or commiserate upon the perceived "drudgery" or "thanklessness" of your job. Don't immerse yourself in unnecessary worry and fear over the future for your children and loved ones. All will be cared for in the manner, and within the limits, that their evolution calls for.

If one is driven to attend to such matters, then give these things only the attention that is required of them, and then immediately turn one's attention back towards The Goal - purification of your vehicles, subduing of the ego/personality, selflessly serving others, effecting the Fundamental Reversal that will lead one to Final Liberation from the Wheel of Death and Rebirth, towards the reclamation of the Immortality that has always been yours.

Your Mind and Heart are perfectly capable of being in one place while your Hands and Feet are in another. Ponder this!

The Battle of Armageddon is an inner, as well as an outer, battle. The Path to Liberation is open to all. The duration of the Journey can be as swift or as slow as one wills it. Each Soul will choose the difficulty of The Journey, its own Itinerary and its own rate of Ascent.

All Love,
