I'm sorry that I have not answered all your questions to your
satisfaction. I have answered the ones I have had time for. On the
other hand, you do not seem to place a very high value on my words.
You call them "ramblings." You seem to think that I am taking away
the freedom of others by posting my writings with the same equality
as you post yours. You sarcastically call me Guru, Maharaja, and
Master. You accuse me of playing word games, of being separative. Now
you tell me that you feel no love in my writings.
Really, I don't know why you even want me to respond to you.
Nevertheless, you have requested me to, so I will answer.
You ask me where love fits in? Reading between the lines here it
sounds if as you are crying out for more love in your own life. I
speak sincerely, not sarcastically. You seem to have a strong need
for me to express it toward you almost as if you have some link with
me in a past life. Do you feel anything in that direction?
Perhaps more has been written about love than any other subject. I
will be writing about it off and on, but at the present I feel that
it would be of most benefit to emphasize the keys. Actually love is
at the center of all the keys because they open the door for greater
love and union.
The feeling of love is not related to another person by merely
speaking and theorizing about it. Nor is love entirely emotional. You
have heard of "loving thoughts" have you not? How about loving
actions? Some of the people who talk most about love communicate it
the least.
You say you have felt no love in my words. Others would disagree. I
have received many good reports on the parable about the path that I
posted a while back. Some have said that it brought them to a point
of tears because of the love in it, yet the word love is not
mentioned. Others have said it has changed their lives.
Love was felt in the parable because love was behind the writing of
it. Did you not feel that my brother?
True service is love in action and the true servers of humanity are
love incarnate.
Because one incorporates mind in his makeup as well as emotion does
not mean that he has pushed love aside. If he stays on the path of
light then he greatly increases his power to serve, to enhance and
free up the love energy. Body, mind and emotion are all vehicles for
love to express itself. Mind has even greater power to give love than
emotion because Mind was before emotion and has the power of decision
over emotion. Emotion can influence mind and mind can influence
emotion, but mind has the final say on any decision. That's why we
say "make up your mind," and not "make up your feelings."
Mind on the dark path becomes the dictator of emotion. But mind on
the path of light becomes the liberator of feelings in denial.
Suppressed emotions cannot free themselves. The mind must free them.
On the other hand, mind is captive to illusion and cannot free
itself. It is at the mercy of Spirit to free it.
You keep talking of healing, my brother. I hope you find it.

(Talking to the same person as Post #60)
Your posting is a strange mixture of words. I know you are a disciple
of "The Right Use of Will" books. They contain some great truths,
especially the teachings on denial and the fact that we should
express our true feelings with no denial no matter what they are.
The ironical thing is you seem to be telling me that my feelings are
not true and that I should express something else. That is not what
your teacher teaches to do.
I think it would help you to read some other metaphysical books like
"A Course in Miracles" or "Seth," and get a little balance in your life.
You say I resist you and distance myself from you. Could it be the
other way around? Could you be the one resisting me and distancing
yourself? If feel no resistance or distancing within me. I am here
for you my brother as much as I am able.
You tell me that I am playing the same cosmic tapes over and over.
Why don't you tell me of a new cosmic tape then? You think I need to
learn about love. Teach me something about it. You want me to learn
from you. How can I unless you say something I do not know or
demonstrate something I do not have? It would be nice if you were to
spend as much time sharing love and knowledge as you do criticizing.
You say there is no heart vibration in my words. I say there is. What
my words do lack is solar plexus vibration which turns the heart
energies upside down and deceives the whole world. Those who have
felt the true energies of spiritual love from the heart will feel
spirit in my words when I teach. I'm not sure how much they will feel
when I am answering criticism such as now, but when I teach they feel
it. I wish you could feel it my brother, because I know from
experience the spirit of love is in the teachings I relate.
Post Number Sixty-Two
(To a different poster)
I enjoyed your comments. I find it interesting that I started
bantering with you, but now we seem to be harmonizing. This is a
pleasant development.
Hierarchies
I have made a few brief comments about Hierarchies and have received
several comments back indicating that the enlightened way to believe
is that there should be no hierarchies.
I can understand this way of thinking if when I say "hierarchy" that
the Piscean age authoritarian view comes to mind. One of the great
causes I personally espouse in my own life is to eliminate the
slavery that the old style hierarchies create.
On the other hand, another word for hierarchy is "order." Order is
only created by a hierarchy of some kind, subtle or otherwise.
Therefore, if one is against hierarchies period, one is also against
order. Without order no permanent change, good or bad, will happen.
The only change of sorts would be disintegration.
There are hierarchies, or orders, of darkness and those of light. The
basic difference is this:
In the hierarchy of darkness there is a very structured order that
the individual cannot deviate from. If he does he is eliminated
either by death (if possible) or cast out. The leaders in this
hierarchy seek to be served and praise whether they deserve it or
not. The leaders often see themselves as better than their brothers
and sisters, see themselves as the center of their universe and feel
that they have some divine right to force their will upon others
because their will is somehow better.
This hierarchy does not allow questioning unless they are in some
position that forces this. They often rely on mysteries that no one
can explain to keep people in the dark and deceived.
They may teach free will but they will do everything in their power
to discourage it. They rely on illusion. They project the illusion
that they are better, more powerful, more virtuous than the rest of
us, but in reality they are about average people.
They obtain their position, not by the free will of their group, but
either in seizing it by force of deception.
The hierarchy of light is quite different. They obtain their position
through the power of election. This is the true meaning of the
teachings of Christ about the "gathering of the elect."
This hierarchy does not force its will on the group. If anything, the
group forces its will on the leader making the leader the "greatest
servant." All leaders are chosen by the group as a servant to help
them in their chosen goals. The leaders see themselves as servants
and seek not to be served for the ego's sake. They see themselves as
one with their brothers and are willing to do the most menial work of
the group if necessary.
Post Number Sixty-Three -- Hierarchies Continued, Part One
The leaders of the Brotherhood of Light can and will initiate, but
there is complete free will whether or not one is to follow. The only
punishment for not following is like those who did not help the
little red hen. They will not share in the benefits.
Any time a leader is not doing his job he can be voted out and there
is no fear of reprisal.
The order in this light hierarchy is not so tight, but allows and
encourages individual thinking.
The leaders allow any question and will answer them to the best of
their ability, unless the answer would create some harm. Everything
is out in the open and done in the light of day with no deception.
The greatest advancement we have had toward a hierarchy of light is
the creation of the Constitution of the United States. Unfortunately,
a lot of deception and manipulation has crept in, but still the power
of election has created much more freedom than the world had in the
"Dark Ages."
In the future there will be hierarchies based on cooperation rather
than competition and the freedom of the individual will be great, but
the other benefit is that the abundance of the many will overflow.
Those who are against hierarchies answer me this one question. Where
has there ever been an accomplishment in the history of the planet
that has benefited the world where there has not been some type of
hierarchy involved? If you cannot name one then how can you say
that having no hierarchy is good?
Post Number Sixty-Four -- Hierarchies Continued, Part Two
What makes you think that hierarchies do not exist within atoms and
molecules? Just because they look the same from a distance means
nothing. From a distance every one of our McDonalds looks the same,
but they are governed by a very strong hierarchical structure. In
fact, THE ONLY WAY that each McDonalds has the power to keep its
uniformity is through hierarchy. This is also the only way the atomic
world keeps its order.
If you look through a powerful electron microscope you will discover
that the atoms always gravitate into hierarchical orders of three and
then often twelve. Other times there will be a leading atom at the
center of a circle of fellow atoms. Atoms, electrons, protons may
seem the same, but they are not. Atoms of the same element all have
approximately the same charge, but not exactly. One will always draw
or repel the other because of its differentiating charge. Atoms of
different elements have very different charges. One will have power
to pull or repel and the other will be unable to resist that pull or
repulsion.
In any atomic order there is always an initiating atom or molecule.
This atom will be the head of its particular order. The others are
the same because they are following a leader, just like McDonalds
does.
In fact, the order in the atomic world is much greater than that
among humans because their hierarchies are much more developed and
refined.
Global Warming Enlightenment
"2008 will be coolest year of the decade
Global average for 2008 should come in close to 14.3C, but cooler
temperature is not evidence that global warming is slowing, say
climate scientists."
See: http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2008/dec/05/climate-change-weather
Reader comment:
"Cooling is not a sign that there isn't global warming.
The bad economy isn't a sign there is a recession.
And just in.....daylight isn't a sign that the world getting brighter!"
