Here are some more writings from my teaching on AOL in 1994 before the present Keys group came into being.

  

Post Number Seventy-Five

I asked you how and why you believe that John (a person claiming to be the Christ) is the second coming and you attempted to give an answer. I read it several times trying to see why you think he is the Christ, but still it is not clear.

You did make an interesting statement. You say that you were impressed by his first speech, but couldn't remember what he said. I find this to be a hallmark of his words. My wife and I have read them all to date and she mentioned to me yesterday: "You know, I have read all his words, they sound flowery and nice, but I cannot remember one thing he said."

I answered back: "That's the same with me. However, when I have read the words of Jesus they strike me and remain with me because they reveal truth."

So what I would like you to consider is this: Why did Jesus at the first coming say new things, teach new doctrines and word them in such an original way that his phrases have resounded through the centuries, whereas John is merely repeating nebulous catch phrases that every new age teacher tosses around?

Even if he is the Christ, he will not be able to accomplish anything, reach men's souls, or teach anything with nebulous thought that no one can even remember.

Let's take a significant soul of our time: John Kennedy. He was great because he stirred our souls and we remember his words. Some of them spoke to our souls like -- "Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country."

On the other hand, if Clinton were to repeat that phrase as if it was something original he would be seen as a copycat.

If John wants to be even a good false Christ, he must speak in such a way that we can remember some point he was making and he should at least claim to have something new to say. The scriptures tell us repeatedly that when God does a work he does "new" things.

One of the things that impressed you about John was the light around him. Did you see an actual light or sense a light?

Whatever the case, Jesus gave us an interesting clue about signs. He said: "A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign...." (Matt 16:4)

I notice that both orthodox Christians and New Agers look for signs to establish belief, but the Christ told us that this is the way of the deceived. It is interesting that just a few verses later Peter told Jesus that he knew he was the Christ and Jesus said: "Flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven." (Matt 16:17)

Jesus challenged people to test his doctrine, and if we do the truth would be revealed to us just as it was to Peter. The first problem with John is that he seems to have no doctrine of his own to test as Jesus did.

I have several more questions:

  1. You say you are a student of AAB [Alice A. Bailey]. Is John also familiar with her writings? If he is, does he claim to be overshadowed by the Christ as Jesus was or to be the Christ himself?
  2. When and how did he become aware that he was the Christ?
  3. How many followers does he have and what is the goal of the group?
  4. Does he claim to be the reappearance as taught by Benjamin Cream?
  5. Does he have a correspondence of the 12 disciples?
  6. AAB said that the Christ would "reinstitute the Mysteries of Initiation." Does John have any plan around this?

I don't mean to be difficult with you here, but if John is one of the many deluded Christs, then it will be a great advantage for you to realize it.

  

Post Number Seventy-Six

I have had to struggle financially all my life and I have concluded that there is a great lesson to be learned from it, especially if you are going to be a spiritual teacher. It is important that you understand the struggles of those whom you teach and financial struggle is the most universal struggle that people of the world now have.

I have received a teaching called the "Molecular Relationship" which can not only transform relationships, but also business. Do you realize that less than twenty percent of the work force in this country are actually working at creating wealth? The rest of us are merely moving the wealth around. Let us suppose that we all shared in the wealth-creating labor. The average person would only have to work 8 hours a week to maintain our current standard of living. If each of us worked 12 hours or more we could all have about anything we could want. Then we could volunteer our free time for the services rendered or concentrate on something creative. Sound good? I thought you would think so. Such changes are coming my friend, but the world will resist.

You say:

"All in the same breath, my challenge is staying in my life, in my body, not flittering away into some past and/or future daydream. Tall order for sure."

I really identify with you my sister. This is the great challenge for the dreamers. But we must not forget the dream. We must take care of business and make the time for the dream. Balance is the key.

Does your husband's ideas harmonize with your own or is he orthodox in his thinking? I am fortunate to have a wife who believes in me and supports me, but it was not by accident. This is my third marriage. I'm sure she will eventually want to talk with you. She reads all my on-line material and is a very intelligent lady. Without her help I would not have the free time at present to do this on-line teaching.

Before you move on to the second key, I want to make sure you have a general understand of this first one. Even after you leave the first you are likely to have more light come on it.

Why is the power of decision so potent?

Why is it even a key ingredient of life? ("Without decision, there is no life.") Does the power of decision make life more abundant? Can the power of decision even lead you out of the struggle you presently find yourself in?

Can you see that decision uses your vehicles and the power is a part of your real self and does not belong to your vehicles?

  

Post Number Seventy-Seven

I was happy to hear from you again. I must warn you that when I am on the threshold of the Spirit with another person that person usually has some very distracting things happen in his or her life that tempt them from continuing communication with me. Perhaps this has already happened, perhaps it is coming, perhaps you are impervious to such energy. Nevertheless, if you are prepared for it you will have a better chance of maneuvering through the darkness.

I am happy to hear your comments about "Data 52" or others. His first communication sounded quite insincere, but he seemed to turn around in his second. I am a little suspicious, but I take people at their word as much as possible. What do you think about his second posting?

You never told me if you were a student of astrology.

There is an interesting new folder called "The Second Coming is Here" I have been communicating with its originator who just happens to be born on Feb 6th (my birthday). I have made a post and plan on several others. Have you read anything there? If you want I can send you a copy of our communications.

"Can the work now begin?" Those are the types of words I like to hear. A willing spirit is rare, especially one with some background and understanding.

I have been given a mission to gather the lights -- those who are capable of some soul contact and seek self improvement.

In the first attempt I worked with the religious people and those who were interested were the extreme right wing. In the second attempt I worked with the New Age people and those who were interested were the unrealistic dreamers.

During this time I wondered why I received so little assistance to carry out so great a work. Then after my last attempt I received a revelation from the Christ at a Christmas party. The party was given by a multi-level company meeting I was investigating. The group was singing "Joy to the Word, the Lord has come...." In the midst of the singing I felt His presence. The Master had come in response the words to that Christmas Carol. Next a person did a reading called: "I Never Knew Him." It was a story about a fictional person who lived in the days of Jesus, but did not recognize Him. As he read this, I felt the feelings of the Master. I was moved to tears for He knows the same thing would happen if He were to appear now. There is not a group of people on the earth that is ready to accept Him as He is. That is our job Elaine. We must prepare a group to accept His Presence and His teachings.

After we sang some Christmas carols we were then entertained by some of the company's highest producers. As they were up there on stage clowning around making us laugh, the Master said to me these words: "These are the type of people I want you to gather." Then He withdrew.

As I was left to myself I thought. Why didn't He tell me this sooner? Here I have spent ten years twice losing everything I have owned, gone through two wives and estranged my children -- and I was working with the wrong crowd all this time!

Then I thought that perhaps the experience I have garnered was necessary for a successful attempt. Perhaps I was not prepared to gather this type of individual.

Who were those people performing that the Christ said were examples of the person He wants prepared for Him? They were an assortment of philosophies and religious beliefs. They were all very hard workers and all quite successful at what they do. They all seek to improve the quality of their lives on a practical basis. Most of them were successful in their lives. They accept personal responsibility.

They are not at all like the two groups of people I attempted to gather.

The question was: How am I to be successful with this type of individual? The answer was that I must achieve some measure of success on my own. So for the first time in my life I gave in to making a living as a top priority. As I said earlier it is the hardest thing I have ever done. Well, perhaps the second hardest, but that is another story.

I went to work with a commitment that I would be successful if it took the rest of my life. Progress has been slow and painstaking as concentration on money is the weakest part of my being, but it seems to be my dharma. I have been working on this preparation for five tough years now. Then it came to me that in preparation for the true gathering I should use the on-line services to contact students and workers who may help in the gathering. I felt that even though the typical New Ager is not the first to be gathered that there will be a few of sound mind on the Internet who have been prepared. I feel and hope that you are one of these.

The main question I would ask of you at present is this. Are you willing to do what is necessary or are there just certain ways that you want to help?

This system of teaching keys is inspired to help me find the true seekers who are humble enough to acknowledge that there are things they do not know. There are several things you can do to help. The most important would be to learn the keys and seek to find others willing to learn them. I am at a disadvantage because it is difficult for me to present them as inspired without glorifying myself and self glorification is a great turn off. Fortunately, the Spirit is willing to verify my teachings to all who seek an answer.

You, on the other hand, can say you learned them from a teacher named Joseph. This will create a magnetic field because it is obvious you are not glorifying yourself.

You say you saw twelve men in your vision. Did you get a sense of twelve women somewhere? Did the oriental man appear in a physical body or was it like a vision?

One more thing about my personal life. I am happily married. In my last attempt at teaching I did receive a very supportive and intelligent wife out of the deal. She gives me much good advice and is very interested in all the postings I give and receive. I feel that you two would hit it off quite well. I sense some similarity of vibration.
