End of the Dark Night

1999-4-30 09:57:00

Spirit Web seems to be out of commission again. I read your posts just before it went down, and see that we have received some interesting accounts of "dark nights."

Most of you seem pretty optimistic despite your dark periods, and this is good, as several of you believe you have left behind the loneliness forever. I was hoping for such optimism, because I know that there are a number of people on the list who need words of encouragement. Rob is probably not the only person who seeks for higher truth and reality, but is totally frustrated in the present. I'm glad that Rob just blurted out his feelings in stark honesty. This alone puts him several steps ahead of others, who feel the dark night and yet pretend that it does not exist.

I know from experience that the problems of life can sometimes be overwhelming, but I also know that when we stay focused on the good and keep moving forward, following the highest we know, we eventually see that there is ALWAYS a light at the end of the tunnel.

When a light is turned on in the darkness, the darkness is no more. Darkness cannot extinguish light, but light can cause darkness to immediately disappear. I sincerely hope your words of faith and light turn on a light in others who are struggling, so they will be able to make it through the dark periods. The joy after a period of darkness and struggle is greater than the peace of one who only basks in the light.

During my dark night I was encouraged by this scripture: "And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God..." Rom 8:28

It is true as some pointed out that darkness and light come in cycles. This is so until the light of the Spirit manifested through the soul is reached. When the light then becomes fullness, a person does not have to return to the dark unless he chooses to do so.

Why would one make such a choice? For only one reason, to reach and teach their brothers and sisters.

As I said earlier, there is a dark night that is particularly severe before a person finds his group. Now I'm not talking about a physical group such as this one, but a group of blended minds on the soul level that is contacted by the seeker. Such contact lifts all darkness, depression and loneliness that he is passing through.

Now a physical group (or should we say semi physical) group such as the Keysters can be a big help for anyone having spiritual difficulty. Hopefully, loving groups such as this will be able to lessen the effects of struggling disciples in the future. We are indeed fortunate to live in a time where the Internet is available. In times past, even a Master had difficulty in gathering together a group of this quality. I know there is no way I could do it by running ads in my local paper here. I am thankful to be living in such interesting times.

As you go through your final dark night before contact, you will be observed by inner teachers who await your arrival. These inner teachers, along with other disciples of similar evolution to yourself, form an invisible group mind that you become one with, when you reach the light at the end of the tunnel. When this is reached and you advance to greater oneness, then this realization of oneness turns on a light that immediately dispels the dark night.

Before this happens, the disciple will go through many periods of light and darkness over a period of numerous lives, but the final one will be different from the rest. The isolation and loneliness will be very profound.

Now my friends, it is time to move on to the next level of learning. After much contemplation I have decided to present to you two great principles that I planned to first present in the Immortal Books. My original plan was to present these two principles first in the Immortal series and then amplify them further in two separate books of pure teachings. Because of limited time and the fact that I am behind on writing the Immortal books, I will reverse the procedure and present these two principles first on the teaching level.

We will briefly cover the first principle and then cover the second in detail. After that we will return to the first and cover it in much greater detail.

The interesting thing about this first principle is that this teaching is covered in great detail in the Bible, and is perhaps the prime teaching of that collection of books, but you will never hear a sermon on it in any church that I know of. This principle is a mystery that all readers of the Bible see but do not see.

The scripture hinting at the first great principle is:

Matt 24:29 "Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:

24:30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

24:31 "And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other."

We have already covered the first part of this scripture in detail. If you do not remember, or have not read it, read posts 88-95 from Samu's postings of my past writings at http://www.thenewagesite.com/JJArchives

In those postings we gave you the interpretation that the Sign of the Son of Man was the Atomic Bomb exploded in 1945. This means that the fulfillment of verse 31 will happen sometime between 1945 and the Second Coming of Christ. Let me repeat this important verse:

24:31 "And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other."

Questions: Who are the angels? A concordance would come in handy here.

What is the sound of a trumpet?

Who will be gathered and where? What could the purpose of this gathering be? Does this concept resonate with you?
