The Tender Trap

If you were going to build the perfect prison, how would you build it?

Would you procure the finest construction materials, concrete, steel, bulletproof glass, etc.? Would you utilize the best SuperMax prison design schemes? Hire burly, no-nonsense guards who all weigh well over 220 pounds? Would you place the prison on an island surrounded by shark-infested waters? No TV, no radio, no library, no visitation? Would all these things insure that the inmates would not try to escape?

Or would you build your prison with no walls, no fences, no rules, no punishments? You'd provide the inmates with whatever they wished, forgive their transgressions, serve them the finest food, allow them unlimited congress with the opposite sex, make available to them all kinds of drugs, alcohol, etc. There'd be no fences, no barbed wire, no shark-infested moat to keep them imprisoned. They would be free to leave at any time.

Which prison do you think would be most successful, with the happiest inmates and the least amount of escape attempts? i think that one's pretty much a no-brainer.

That is sort of what has happened to man on earth. We are inmates in a very dynamic and alluring prison. We stand transfixed by the glamour of the world, unable to figure out that we are being fooled into staying in this condition and encouraged to never leave. We think that this is all there is, and what there is "ain't so bad", so why not just stay here and deal with it? That is how a "perfect prison" works. It allows the prisoner to incarcerate himself.

Every night, the prisoner walks obediently to his cell.

Every night, the prisoner locks the door to his own cell, then throws the key outside to his jailer.

Every night, the prisoner dreams of what he will do to pass the time tomorrow, when he opens his eyes and realizes that he is...back in prison, his home.

The most difficult thing for people to do is to contemplate (much less accept) that all of this, this "reality", this "life" that they've built up for themselves is a complete and utter chimera, a dream. Those who insist on dreaming the same dream night after night will be pummelled by Pain and Sorrow until they finally tire of their glamorous prison and begin to Seek a way out.

Meanwhile, those who recognize exactly where they are silently bide their time...and carefully plan their Escape.

Something To THINK About

Thoughts are things; they go somewhere.

[QUOTING]

At the present stage of evolution the majority of the thoughts of men are usually self-centered even when they are not actively selfish. Such self-centered thoughts hang about the thinker. Most men, in fact, surround their mental bodies with a shell of such thoughts. They hover ceaselessly about them and constantly react on them. Their tendency is to reproduce themselves – i.e., to stir up in the man a repetition of the thoughts which he had previously entertained. Many a man feels this pressure upon him from within, this constant suggestion of certain thoughts, especially when he is resting after his labours, and there is no definite thought in his mind. If the thoughts are evil, he frequently thinks of them as tempting demons goading him into sin. Yet they are none the less entirely his own creation; he is his own tempter.

Repeated thoughts of this kind play an important part in working out what is called Prarabda or “ripe” karma. Persistent reiteration of thoughts of the same kind, say of revenge, bring a man at last to a point which may be compared to that of a saturated solution. Just as the addition of further matter of the same kind to the solution will produce the solidification of the whole, so will a slight additional impulse result in the commission of a crime.

Similarly, reiterated thoughts of helping others may, when the stimulus of opportunity touches the man, crystallise out as an act of heroism. Under such circumstances, a man may marvel at his own commission of a crime or at his own performance of some heroic act of self-sacrifice, not realising that repeated thought had made the action inevitable. A consideration of these facts goes far towards explaining the old problem of freewill and necessity or destiny.

Furthermore, a man’s thought-forms tend to draw towards the man the thought-forms of others of a similar nature. A man may thus attract to himself large reinforcements of energy from outside; it lies within himself, of course, whether these forces that he draws into himself be of a good or evil kind.

Usually each definite thought creates a new thought-form; but if a thought-form of the same nature is already hovering round the thinker, under certain circumstances a new thought on the same subject, instead of creating a new form, coalesces with and strengthens the old one, so that by long brooding over the same subject a man may sometimes create a thought-form of tremendous power. If the thought be an evil one, such a thought-form may become a veritable malign influence lasting perhaps for many years, and having for a time all the appearance and powers of a real living entity.

A shell of self-centered thought obviously must tend to obscure the mental vision and facilitate the formation of prejudice. Through such a shell the man looks out upon the world, naturally seeing everything tinged with its predominant colours; everything which reaches him from without is thus more or less modified by the character of the shell. Thus, until a man has complete control of thought and feeling he see nothing as it really is, since all his observations must be made through this medium which, like a badly-made glass, distorts and colours everything.

It was for this reason that Aryasangha [now the Master Djwal Kul] said in The Voice of the Silence that the mind was “the great slayer of the real”. He was drawing attention to the fact that we do not see any object as it is, but only the images that we are able to make of it, everything being thus necessarily coloured for us by these thought-forms of our own creation.

Complete Immersion In Self

“There are days when 15 or 20 people pass by and might not even notice I’m here,” he said, as several pedestrians seemed to do just that. “A decade ago, if you saw someone covering their ear and talking to themselves, you would have thought they were just nuts. Today that’s the norm. It’s as if they are totally consumed by their own world and have no room for the outside. It is complete immersion in self to the exclusion of all else. That has to have an impact on the rest of our lives.” - Charles Mysack, NYC street vendor / bookseller

And so, from a humble street vendor, we get a hint as to what the hidden purpose of the "Gadget Age" is really all about:

"Complete immersion in self to the exclusion of all else".

Don't let it happen to you.

For Whom The Bell Tolls

"NO man is an island, entire of itself;
every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main.
If a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less,
as well as if a promontory were,
as well as if a manor of thy friend's or of thine own were.

Any man's death diminishes me,
because I am involved in mankind;
and therefore never send to know
for whom the bell tolls;
it tolls for thee..."

These famous words by John Donne were not originally written as a poem - the passage is taken from the 1624 Meditation 17, from Devotions Upon Emergent Occasions and is prose. - Poetry Online

The Cosmic Motion Picture

The phenomenal universe is often referred to as an "illusion". It is God's Thought Vibration, Cosmic Light, molded by Divine Will into an infinite variety of shapes and forms. In Autobiography of a Yogi, the following passage speaks to the nature of objective reality.

From the chapter 30, entitled "The Law of Miracles"...

[QUOTING]

The motion picture art can portray any miracle. From the impressive visual standpoint, no marvel is barred to trick photography. A man's transparent astral body can be seen rising from his gross physical form, he can walk on the water, resurrect the dead, reverse the natural sequence of developments, and play havoc with time and space. Assembling the light images as he pleases, the photographer achieves optical wonders which a true master produces with actual light rays.

The lifelike images of the motion picture illustrate many truths concerning Creation. The Cosmic Director has written His own plays, and assembled the tremendous casts for the pageant of the centuries. From the dark booth of eternity, He pours His creative beam through the films of successive ages, and the pictures are thrown on the screen of space. Just as the motion picture images appear to be real, but are only combinations of light and shade, so is the universal variety a delusive seeming. The planetary spheres, with their countless forms of life, are naught but figures in a cosmic motion picture, temporarily true to the five sense perceptions as the scenes are cast on the screen of man's consciousness by the Infinite Creative Beam.

A cinema audience can look up and see that all screen images are appearing through the instrumentality through the instrumentality of one imageless beam of light. The colorful universal drama is similarly issuing from the single white light of a Cosmic Source. With inconceivable ingenuity God is staging an entertainment for His human children, making them actors as well as audience in His planetary theatre.

"Creation is light and shadow both, else no picture is possible. The good and evil of maya must ever alternate in supremacy. If joy were ceaseless here in this world, would man ever seek another? Without suffering, he scarcely cares to recall that he has forsaken his Eternal Home. Pain is a prod to remembrance. The way of escape is through Wisdom! The tragedy of death is unreal; those who shudder at it are like an ignorant actor who dies of fright on the stage when nothing more is fired at him than a blank cartridge. My sons are the children of light; they will not sleep forever in delusion".

Seek The Kingdom

A portion of a conversation recently read, from Readiness for Gnosis - Seeking:

[QUOTE]

Q. . . .It is like a person who is afraid of a lion. Although, by choosing to learn about the animal, facing it, and understanding it's personality and nature, this same person, if he chose, could stick his head in the lion's mouth without breaking a bead of sweat off his brow........All because he took the time to study his source of fear, despair, woe, and now understands it. Unmoved, unaffected, at peace with the threat only inches away. Now, on the other hand, if one acts in fear of this animal, it will know instinctively by one's thoughts and actions and may turn to tear you apart.

This same scenario is what is going on in this world. A world (as with any other) that is directly effected by the understanding, actions, and thoughts of people that dwell on it's surface. If it is dreaded and feared, it will be a dread and threat the whole time. If it is understood and studied, it will be a pleasant life in the face of constant threats that are created by others. And if the planet's inhabitants as a whole have understanding of both the positive and the negative aspects of life (The Natural Balance), it is then a world that lives under divine plan or law, and does not suffer any of the harsh conditions that are considered hell in a hand basket. . .

A. Well there is subtle error here, which demonstrates again that you are depending on your very limited intellectual faculty to interpret the Truth, the Reality of things, which is impossible to do. For how can a scientist with his microscope understand the living, vibrating Reality that is the Cause behind the microscope itself? How can the tiny part understand the Whole unless it becomes one with the Whole?

What I am saying is that we may only observe and understand that which we focus upon. If this world of phenomena (not noumena, note) is focussed upon by the phenomenal mind of man, then how will he ever understand the noumena that is the living Reality behind all phenomena?

Mankind has been trying to understand this world of changing appearances for ages and ages, yet still suffering and misery exists. So why has mankind not overcome this? The answer is: because he is looking in the wrong direction. He is trying to understand an illusion, which has no absolute reality and therefore all his efforts amount to a hopeless, utterly futile pursuit. This is why the fallen universe is restless, leaving no person alone and at peace, and this is why no true happiness and peace may be found in this world, ever. It is also why all realized beings eventually leave this world entirely, in order to return to the divine Universe, which vibrates above the created universe. "My Kingdom is not of this world." - Jesus.

The Gnosis explains this clearly for those with eyes to see. However, if one is not yet Seeking the Truth, if one believes he or she already knows the Truth, then one will not be able to See and so take benefit from the liberating Teaching of the Christed Ones. This is our point with regard to yourself. If you believe that you are already happy and living in Truth, in Bliss, then your cup is full and you will not be able to receive any new Wine. Indeed, if you are already there, then you will have no interest or need to further utilize your limited intellect to study anything, including our writings, for which you have applied. Furthermore, if you truly are Enlightened, if you had already reached the Goal of supreme Wisdom, then in radiating Christ-Consciousness (divine Love) would you not be attracting spiritual aspirants in the thousands, as did Buddha, Jesus, Lao Tzu, etc.? And if not, then why are you not a Seeker like the rest of us? If I am not in a state of divine ecstasy, then I know I have further to go and so Seek. This is fundamental reasoning, no?

If I do not Seek in the right way and for the right reasons, then I will never Find, and I will, under the insuperable Law of Cause and Effect, find myself back yet again on the wheel of birth, suffering and death in this illusion we call 'life' to try once more to find the Philosopher's Stone, the Summum Bonum, the Jewel in the Lotus, the one Goal of all unenlightened life. Once we understand these things there is no other sane choice but to Seek True Life, and this is the most wonderful journey in the world, for in it there is Purpose, and where there is divine Purpose there is also Joy.

[END QUOTE]

Again, "My Kingdom Is Not Of This World". The Christed One did not mince words with this statement. Feel free to interpret it literally. To remain attached to earth-"life" is to reject the Divine Reunion that awaits those who are able to shake off the cobwebs and successfully withdraw their focus from the material plane. Seek the Truth. Seek ye first the Kingdom...all else will be added unto you.

The Laws of Life vs. The Path of Death

Presented for consideration and contemplation...

From The Essene Gospel of Peace:

[QUOTING]

And then many sick and maimed came to Jesus, asking him. "if you know all hings, tell us, why do we suffer with these grievous plagues? Why are we not whole like other men? Master, heal us, that we too may be made strong, and need abide no longer in our misery. We know that you have it in your power to heal all manner of disease. Free us from Satan and from all his great afflictions. Master, have compassion on us."

And Jesus answered- "Happy are you that you hunger for the truth, for I will satisfy you with the bread of wisdom. Happy are you, that you knock, for I will open to you the door of life. Happy are you, that you would cast off the power of Satan, for I will lead you into the kincdom of our Mother's angels, where the power of Satan cannot enter."

And they asked him in amazement: "Who is our Mother and which her angels? And where is her kingdom?"

"Your Mother is in you, and you in her. She bore you she gives you life. it was she who gave to you your body, and to her shall you one day give it back again. Happy are you when you come to know her and her kingdom; if you receive your Mother's angels and if you do her laws. I tell you truly, he who does these things shall never see disease. For the power of our Mother is above all. And it destroys Satan and his kingdom, and has rule over all your bodies and all living things.

"The blood which runs in us is born of the blood of our Earthly Mother. Her blood falls from the clouds; leaps from the womb of the earth; babbles in the brooks of the mountains; flows wide in the rivers of the plains; sleeps in the lakes; rages mightily in tempestuous seas.

"The air which we breathe is born of the breath of our Earthly Mother. Her breath is azure in the heights of t heavens; soughs in the tops of the mountains; whispers the leaves of the forest; billows over the cornfields; slumbers in the deep valleys, burns hot in the desert.

"The hardness of our bones is born of the bones of our Earthly Mother, of the rocks and of the stones. They stand naked to the heavens on the tops of mountains; are as giants that lie sleeping on the sides of the mountains, as idols set in the desert, and are hidden in the deepness of the earth.

"The tenderness of our flesh is born of the flesh of our Earthly Mother; whose flesh waxes yellow and red in the fruits of the trees, and nurtures us in the furrows of the fields.

"Our bowels are born of the bowels of our Earthly Mother, and are hid from our eyes, like the invisible depths of the earth.

"The light of our eyes, the hearing of our ears, both are born of the colors and the sounds of our Earthly Mother; which enclose us about, as the waves of the sea a fish, as the eddying air a bird.

"I tell you in very truth, Man is the Son of the Earthly Mother, and from her did the Son of Man receive his whole body, even as the body of the newborn babe is born of the womb of his mother. I tell you truly, you are one with the Earthly Mother; she is in you, and you in her. Of her were you born, in her do you live, and to her shall you return again. Keep, therefore, her laws, for none can live long, neither be happy, but he who honors his Earthly Mother and does her laws. For your breath is her breath; your blood her blood; your bone her bone; your flesh her flesh; your bowels her bowels; your eyes and your ears are her eyes and her ears.

"I tell you truly, should you fail to keep but one only of all these laws, should you harm but one only of all your body's members, you shall be utterly lost in your grievous sickness, and there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. I tell you, unless you follow the laws of your Mother, you can in no wise escape death. And he who clings to the laws of his Mother, to him shall his Mother cling also. She shall heal all his plagues, and he shall never become sick. She gives him long life, and protects him from all afflictions; from fire, from water, from the bite of venomous serpents. For your Mother bore you, keeps life within you. She has given you her body, and none but she heals you. Happy is he who loves his Mother and lies quietly in her bosom. For your Mother loves you, even when you turn away from her. And how much more shall she love you, if you turn to her again? I tell you truly, very great is her love, greater than the greatest of mountains, deeper than the deepest seas.

And those who love their Mother, she never deserts them. As the hen protects her chickens, as the lioness her cubs, as the mother her newborn babe, so does the Earthly Mother protect the Son of Man from all danger and from all evils.

"For I tell you truly, evils and dangers innumerable lie in wait for the Sons of Men. Beelzebub, the prince of all devils, the source of every evil, lies in wait in the body of all the Sons of Men. He is death, the lord of every plague, and taking upon him a pleasing raiment, he tempts and entices the Sons of Men.

Riches does he promise, and power, and splendid palaces, and garments of gold and silver, and a multitude of servants, all these; he promises renown and glory, fornication and lustfulness, gluttony and wine-bibbing, riotous living, and slothfulness and idle days. And he entices every one by that to which their heart is most inclined. And in the day that the Sons of Men have already become the slaves of all these vanities and abominations, then in payment thereof he snatches from the Sons of Men all those things which the Earthly Mother gave them so abundantly. He takes from them their breath, their blood, their bone, their flesh, their bowels, their eyes and their ears. And the breath of the Son of Man becomes short and stifled, full of pain and evil-smelling, like the breath of unclean beasts. And his blood becomes thick and evil-smelling, like the water of the swamps; it clots and blackens, like the night of death. And his bone becomes hard and knotted; it melts away within and breaks asunder, as a stone falling down upon a rock. And his flesh waxes fat and watery; it rots and putrefies, with scabs and boils that are an abomination.

And his bowels become full with abominable filthiness, with oozing streams of decay; and multitudes of abominable worms have their habitation there. And his eyes grow dim, till dark night enshrouds them, and his ears become stopped, like the silence of the grave. And last of all shall the erring Son of Man lose life. For he kept not the laws of his Mother, and added sin to sin.

Therefore, are taken from him all the gifts of the Earthly Mother: breath, blood, bone, flesh, bowels, eyes and ears, and after all else, life, with which the Earthly Mother crowned his body.

"But if the erring Son of Man be sorry for his sins and undo them, and return again to his Earthly Mother; and if he do his Earthly Mother's laws and free himself from Satan's clutches, resisting his temptations, then does the Earthly Mother receive again her erring Son with love and sends him her angels that they may serve him. I tell you truly, when the Son of Man resists the Satan that dwells in him and does not his will, in the same hour are found the Mother's angels there, that they may serve him with all their power and free utterly the Son of Man from the power of Satan.

"For no man can serve two masters. For either he serves Beelzebub and his devils or else he serves our Earthly Mother and her angels. Either he serves death or he serves life. I tell you truly, happy are those that do the laws of life and wander not upon the paths of death. For in them the forces of life wax strong and they escape the plagues of death."

Falling Down, Getting Up

Sharing this from Meditation for Beginners, J. I. Wedgwood (1918)

{QUOTING]

In the struggle to eradicate his faults, one suggestion may prove useful to the student. The habit of brooding over faults does not lead to healthiness of mind, but is apt, rather, to encourage morbidness and depression, which act as a wall, shutting out spiritual influences. As a practical expedient, it is better to ignore faults of disposition so far as may be done, and to concentrate one's whole aspiration and endeavor towards building the opposite virtues into the character.

A well-known writer and preacher has forcefully expressed this truth: 'Remember you cannot see both sides of the coin at once. When you are discouraged by the striving of the animal nature, and utterly disgusted with yourself, and hating yourself as wholly unregenerate, the noblest exercise for your mental faculty is to force yourself to turn over the coin of yourself, and think intensely into the other side. Say, "I am The Lord's, my true ego is His Divine Spirit"' (Light on the Problems of Life, by Archdeacon Wilberforce).

Success in the spiritual life is gained less by fierce wrestling with the lower nature than by growing into the knowledge and appreciation of higher things. For once we have sufficiently experienced the bliss and joyousness of the Higher Life, by contrast, the lower desires pale and lose their attractiveness. It was said once by a great Teacher that the best form of repentance for a transgression was to look ahead with hopeful courage, coupled with a firm resolve not to commit the transgression again.

[END QUOTING]

In the quest for spiritual reunion with the one, for many there will be obstacles, pitfalls and even setbacks along the way. Do not be discouraged, do not give up. Focus on that which one is attempting to attain - liberation from bondage to the lower plane influences, control of the lower by that which is Higher.

If one should fall, quickly rise to one's feet, dust off, and resume the upward climb.

Courage. Resolve. Victory.

Seven Seals

Excerpted from Essene Revelation published at Essene Gospels Of Peace

[QUOTING]

And, behold, the cover lifted,
And my hands touched the golden pages,
And my eyes beheld the mystery of the seven seals.
And I beheld, and I heard the voice
Of many angels
Round about the throne,
And the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand,
And thousands of thousands, saying with a loud voice,
"All glory, and wisdom, and strength,
And power forever and ever,
To him who shall reveal the Mystery of Mysteries.

And I saw the swirling clouds of golden light
Stretching like a fiery bridge between my hands,
And the hands of the thirteen elders,
And the feet of him who sat on the throne,
Whose face was hidden.

And I opened the first seal.
And I saw, and beheld the Angel of Air.
And between her lips flowed the breath of life,
And she knelt over the earth
And gave to man the winds of Wisdom.
And man breathed in.
And when he breathed out, the sky darkened,
And the sweet air became foul and fetid,
And clouds of evil smoke hung low over all the earth.
And I turned my face away in shame.

And I opened the second seal.
And I saw, and beheld the Angel of Water.
And between her lips flowed the water of life,
And she knelt over the earth
And gave to man an ocean of Love.
And man entered the clear and shining waters.
And when he touched the water, the clear streams darkened,
And the crystal waters became thick with slime,
And the fish lay gasping in the foul blackness,
And all creatures died of thirst.
And I turned my face away in shame.

And I opened the third seal.
And I saw, and beheld the Angel of Sun.
And between her lips flowed the light of life,
And she knelt over the earth
And gave to man the fires of Power.
And the strength of the sun entered the heart of man,
And he took the power, and made with it a false sun,
And, lo, he spread the fires of destruction,
Burning the forests, laying waste the green valleys,
Leaving only charred bones of his brothers.
And I turned my face away in shame.

And I opened the fourth seal.
And I saw, and beheld the Angel of Joy.
And between her lips flowed the music of life,
And she knelt over the earth
And gave to man the song of Peace.
And peace and joy like music
Flowed through the soul of man.
But he heard only the harsh discord of sadness and discontent,
And he lifted up his sword
And cut off the hands of the peacemakers,
And lifted it up once again
And cut off the heads of the singers.
And I turned my face away in shame.

And I opened the fifth seal.
And I saw, and beheld the Angel of Life.
And between her lips
Flowed the holy alliance between God and Man,
And she knelt over the earth
And gave to man the gift of Creation.
And man created a sickle of iron in the shape of a serpent,
And the harvest he reaped was hunger and death.
And I turned my face away in shame.

And I opened the sixth seal.
And I saw, and beheld the Angel of Earth.
And between her lips flowed the river of Eternal Life,
And she knelt over the earth
And gave to man the secret of eternity,
And told him to open his eyes
And behold the mysterious Tree of Life in the Endless Sea.
But man lifted his hand and put out his own eyes,
And said there was no eternity.
And I turned my face away in shame.

And I opened the seventh seal.
And I saw, and beheld the Angel of the Earthly Mother.
And she brought with her a message of blazing light
From the throne of the Heavenly Father.
And this message was for the ears of man alone,
He who walks between earth and heaven.
And into the ear Of man was whispered the message.
And he did not hear.
But I did not turn away my face in shame.

Lo, I reached forth my hand to the wings of the angel,
And I turned my voice to heaven, saying,
"Tell me the message. For I would eat of the fruit
of the Tree of Life that grows in the Sea of Eternity.
And the angel looked upon me with great sadness,
And there was silence in heaven.

And then I heard a voice, which was like unto the voice
Which sounded like a trumpet, saying,
"O Man, wouldst thou look upon the evil thou hast wrought,
When thou didst turn thy face away from the throne of God,
When thou didst not make use of the gifts of the seven
Angels of the Earthly Mother
And the seven Angels of the Heavenly Father?

And a terrible pain seized me as I felt within me
The souls of all those who had blinded themselves,
So as to see only their own desires of the flesh.

And I saw the seven angels which stood before God;
And to them were given seven trumpets.
And another angel came and stood at the altar,
Having a golden censer;
And there was given unto him much incense,
That he should offer it with the prayers of all the angels
Upon the golden altar which was before the throne.

And the smoke of the incense ascended up before God
Out of the angel's hand.
And the angel took the censer,
And filled it with the fire of the altar, And cast it into the earth,
And there were voices and thunderings,
And lightnings, and earthquakes.
And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets
Prepared themselves to sound...

The Invisible War On Humanity

An excerpt from "The Invisible War on Humanity".

[QUOTING]

In our times of potential world-awakening and spiritual realization, a discriminating portion of humanity is striving to disengage as much as possible from "the matrix*", at least in thought and aspiration, which, unlike the physical level of our being, is possible even if challenging to do. However, such a disconnection and readjustment in one's inner life and attitude brings about peculiar ramifications and responses from the pervasive intelligence of the matrix itself, and these are today bearing down on mankind as the inevitable world-tension increases.

* The Matrix, an accurate metaphorical term borrowed from the deeply allegorical movie of the same name.

Some of the hostile reactions of the living, intelligent matrix and its ceaselessly active, incorporeal servants to any genuine effort to disengage are quite recognizeable to the informed mind and certainly experienced by the sensitive. The person who has become aware and is therefore naturally moving in a contrary direction to the dying world-order might experience periods of a darkening of consciousness that is impossible to explain by worldy reasoning alone and which may last for hours, weeks, or longer, only to suddenly evaporate, affording the victim much needed and precious time to recover. Agitation and psychic stress, doubt, guilt and self-depreciating thoughts, confusion and an inability to think clearly, physiological effects such as headaches, heart palpitations and insomnia; disorienting thought-impressions, 'voices', and thought-loops, extreme body heaviness and enervation identical to the symptoms of chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), listlessness and depression...these are just some of the symptoms caused by the growing, reactive hostilities of the matrix to souls who are struggling to become free or who carry Light.

These psychic attacks are purposely imposed to undermine self-esteem, confidence, alertness and awareness. Designed to incite a sense of personal shortcoming or failure, thus inciting guilt and shame, they stimulate a need to 'fix' oneself or to otherwise distract oneself by engaging in the lower passions and desires*. The victim may consequently seek respite from these onslaughts in various ways, earnestly believing that he or she is a bad, weak or otherwise unworthy person. Yet inexplicably and in a moment, these symptoms can disappear entirely, as though a switch has been turned off, the resulting relatively bright and clear mind and consciousness left in a daze as to what has happened and where it has been.

* Should the victim choose to submit to the enticements of the gross impressions and opt to become preoccupied by some trivial, mundane or self-gratifying activity (for example, smoking, drinking, eating, having sex, entertainment or even meaningless social interaction), the symptom may abate, or amidst such distraction one might become less conscious and so less overtly troubled by them.

Presently, all around the world, we can observe the manifest, physical-plane correspondence of an ongoing invisible war, which is imposed upon humanity from the inner side of life and is facilitated by the generic state and customary activity of the mass-consciousness itself. This assault is being experienced by almost every human being in some way, yet those who are in conformity with the matrix and so who vibrate within the parameters of 'psychic acceptability' set by the ruling powers of this world have become inured to many of its effects by way of habit, which brings about a crystallization of consciousness and its corresponding psychic and spiritual insensitivity. To date on the planet, as long as one is participating within and so contributing towards (feeding) 'the system', the matrix, one is generally spared the more severe psychic attacks and inevitable effects of Armageddon, and may even be encouraged or inspired in one's worldly pursuits by being fed from and stimulated in symbiotic rapport with the gross energies and forces which predominate on Earth and which permeate the planet, leaving no person untouched, and with which the majority of humanity is entirely identified and subservient.

As long as people 'keep the beast happy' by feeding the matrix in one form or another, via their attitudes, their thinking and their emotional responses, and, - analogous of a military operation - as long as they march to the beat of the common drum and do not fall out of line, then they are exempt from reprimand and the pressure of corrective discipline. In order to fortify the semblance of 'life' on Earth, they may also be rewarded by a sense of self-satisfaction and material achievement. This latter kind of reward is temporary, and due to its nature being of the lower human psyche, it requires the seeking out of and engagement in appropriate worldly and psychic activity so as to secure the next fix. Meanwhile, for those who are genuinely striving to be free of the matrix and so who venture even marginally beyond the delineated ceiling of consciousness, the wrath of the 'keepers', the 'sentinels', the 'agents' of the matrix will be experienced in some way in order to coerce consciousness back to a more manageable and controllable level.

One would do well to take a more thoughtful look at 1999's "The Matrix". On a deeper level, the movie tells of man's enslavement by the archons and aeons (the invisible powers, the rulers of this plane) and man's Liberation from that slavery. This was by design, although the message was buried in allegory, probably because it would never have been made if it had tried to make things obvious.

Re: The Gathering of the Eagles

Hello, all.

After some retrospection, have arrived at the realization that an error has been made and must be corrected regarding the post on The Gathering of the Eagles.

Although Menno does have a story to tell, we must be reminded of the fact that his work is not divinely-inspired, and therefore could mislead some to think that "if we do x, y and z, then all will be well".

Well, this is not true, and i should have known better. Having "hope" and "faith" will not be enough to free one from the Wheel of Death and Rebirth. Blindly maintaining such beliefs will paralyze one into doing exactly what the dark brothers want us to do, which is to stop Seeking, or to Seek in the wrong direction.

The one purpose, the one goal for every human soul is to Liberate themselves from this fallen realm, this endless Circle of Futility, and to return to the Divine realms...permanently. One cannot concern one's self with physical survival for the sake of the lower self, as such thinking will only bind one even more tightly to the Wheel.

Although there is a feel-good message in Mr. Paul's writings, if one chooses to read it, then one should do so using the same discernment with which one would read any other sort of New Age material...with neutrality and discernment. Anything that emphasizes "the self saving the self by changing the self", or "something else saving the self", "making the (fallen) world better", "I, me, my", etc. is probably astrally-inspired, definitely not divinely-inspired.

Astral beings have their own reasons for doing the things that they do when interacting with humanity. For the most part, their interactions are designed to promote their own self-maintenance, as they sustain themselves on the lower (and higher) "ether bleedings" of those of us here in the physical (see The Light Spirits).

Please accept this as an apology for posting material that could mislead or mis-inform. This is the last thing that needs to be done at this period of time. If it is divinely-inspired (non-dualistic) information that one is searching for, one is advised to clear one's mind of all that one thinks one "knows" and then further their seeking by going through all of the material at The New Call.

P.S.: The foregoing is not a reflection on the character of Mr. Pauls or his integrity. All of us are prone to be contacted by the light spirits on the other side of the veil, as they attempt to influence man to do "good". Not all of us are equipped to realize who or what it is that is actually in contact with us.

"There is none good, no not one" - The Christ

Again, very, very sorry to all. It just goes to show how critical it is for one to remain vigilant against the unceasing bombardment of impulses, both "good" and "bad" from the forces of duality.

Mission: Possible

Good morning.

An invisible presence is currently in control of the major portion of humanity. This invisible force was created by the uncontrolled thoughts, feelings and actions of humanity over the ages. Because undisciplined humanity does not realize that "thoughts are things", "energy follows thought" and that "what is focused upon grows" it has unknowingly persisted in feeding these invisible elemental forces, known as aeons, until the aeons have become living entities. These entities are utilized by even more powerful dark forces known as archons, who utilize them in order to control and enslave the human races. The purpose of this control is to generate low vibrational energy via negative thoughts and emotions. This is how they are fed and sustained. Without these lower vibrational energies, or ether bleedings, as they are also referred to, these archons and aeons would starve. "Evil", as it is known on this plane, would cease to exist.

If you will look around the world you will see that the influence of these dark forces now permeates every nation, state and neighborhood. The human life wave, indeed the planet itself, is in danger of suffocating from its own poisonous etheric emissions.

YOUR MISSION, should you decide to accept it...will be to infiltrate the human race, posing as an ordinary human. With the assistance of the energies of the Cosmic Christ, you are to purify your physical, emotional and mental vehicles, thereby providing a measure of protection against the intrusion of dark energies. You are to forget your "self", cease focusing on the lower personality, work to help others to recognize the dire situation that humanity is in, and inform them of their means of escape.

The method of escape begins with selfless service to others and neutralization of the "I". Humanity must learn to stop responding to the influences of the archons and aeons by learning to control their thoughts and emotions. Once humans cease to react to the impulses of the dark forces, the dark forces will weaken. As they weaken, mankind will gather strength.

You are to serve others, when needed or required, without reservation or judgment. However, it is important to remember to use discernment in all that you undertake. Your life must be as an example for others to follow, so that they too, can take the steps necessary to extricate themselves from the true "matrix" - the false reality controlled by the archons that is snuffing out the spiritual flame in the hearts of humanity. You must always remember that you are working as a Group, not as individuals, and you must remember this even when the members of your group are not physically available to you.

Seek Truth.

Eliminate Fear from your vocabulary. There is nothing to fear. Remember to walk the Noble Eightfold Path laid down by Buddha:

1. Right faith
2. Right thought
3. Right speech
4. Right action
5. Right livelihood
6. Right effort
7. Right mindfulness
8. Right concentration

As always, please be advised that if you are captured or diverted from your mission, the Hierarchy may be unable to assist you. You are under very deep cover. You are your own rescuer. We would recommend to you that you maintain a pure heart and a pure mind, as these are the best defense against attack from lower, dark energies.

That is your mission. Good luck.

This post will self-destruct in ten seconds...

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.

Union = Harmony + Strength

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.

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
