Moving the Energy

 

Moving the Energy

The Question: “When you feel an emotion within you that you are tempted to ignore or suppress what should you do? What if it will offend others by bringing it out in the open? What if it makes you look petty or unenlightened? Should you do it anyway?”

The answer here is yes, find a way to release the negative emotion even at the risk of causing great disturbance.

Second question: “There are three ways to release such emotion. Can you guess what they are?”

Let us suppose that someone makes you so angry that you feel like strangling them. What should you do? Here are three different lines of approach.

(1) You can take physical retribution and actually try and strangle the guy.

Now after you do this you may feel great for about five minutes, but this is not a wise path for as soon as your rage expires you will suffer a lifetime of regret, remorse and possible punishment by the authorities.

(2) You can do nothing, but hold the feeling in and hope it goes away. Whereas you hurt another person with number one you hurt yourself with this approach. This approach redirects the attack away from the offending person to yourself and the negative energy then attacks your own body as well as dams up your healing soul energy. The person with suppressed negativity may wind up suffering much more than the guy who was strangled.

(3) You release the negative energy by communicating the feeling to the offending person.

Suppose Lynn offends you so much that you feel like strangling him. You rule out number one because you do not want to hurt him and you rule out number two because you do not want to hurt yourself. What then do you do?

The answer is that you resort to pure honesty and communicate how you feel. It doesn’t matter if the insult seemed huge or trivial, small or great, intentional or not intentional. The only thing that matters is that you hurt and you need to communicate it so it can be released.

So how do you do this? Quite simply you tell Lynn in a pleasant way that you wish to talk to him and in as harmless manner as possible say something like this.

“Lynn. You may not realize this and you probably did not mean to hurt me, but when you said XYZ you made me feel very angry. In fact I felt so angry and still feel angry to the extent I feel like grabbing you and shaking or even strangling you.”

Now after this communication a strange thing will happen. The negative package of energy that was in you is now released and is sent to the person who caused the offense. When this occurs one of two things will happen.

(1) The offender, Lynn in this case, will feel bad he hurt your feelings and attempt to understand and make things right. If he does this, the light of the soul comes in the relationship and dispels the negative energy forever, no more to return.

(2) He takes no responsibility for your negative feeling or your hurt. In this case the negative energy remains. You are now free from it because you released it through communication, but Lynn now has to deal with it. Because the negative energy remains in Lynn’s aura he begins to release it in some way, usually by lashing out or attacking you.

If he does lash out at you, you must not return fire no matter how hurtful the words are. If you do the negative energy will return to you. Instead show only love, compassion and understanding. If you do the offender is likely to come to his senses and show love in return which will dissipate the energy. If he is so hardened to resist your love he will then keep the negativity to himself because he inwardly believes he deserves it, but at least you are free.

Do not be deceived into not communicating because the cause of the hurt seems like such a small thing or trivial. Your emotional body is not subject to logic and it matters not if the cause is significant or not. Do not be deceived into thinking that you will not communicate because you may hurt someone’s feelings. If you do not communicate you will hurt yourself and your relationships anyway. Unless there is complete forgiveness on all sides there is going to be some hurt to deal with and there will be no way around it so you might as well start the process of neutralizing it.

Teachers and Students

A reader maintained that since all souls are one that there is no hierarchical relationship or teacher-student association in the soul realms nor should there be one here among those who are soul connected.

On the other hand, DK says that the Ancient of Days is the student disciple of the Solar Logos and the Christ is a student disciple of Him in return and that he (DK) is a student disciple of the Christ. Perhaps you should go straighten the masters out on this separative idea they have. In fact perhaps you should lecture to them about disbanding the “hierarchy” which is entirely giving-receiving and student-teacher in its organization.

The reader’s argument seems to be that all souls are one and already connected therefore we should not even try to connect with each other in this reality is about as far into illusion as one can descend.

True soul connection is much much more than memorizing the “all souls are one” statement. That is a physical brain activity. As one progresses in the soul he will connect to others who are making the same progression. Those who are in the personality do not make that connection

If you want to believe you are in some other reality and are at one with all and no further progress can be made for yourself that is fine, but please do not try and discourage others from moving ahead in the soul as they see it.

I think that many have an aversion to seeing themselves as polarized as either student or teacher in relationships because they see one in a teaching situation as proclaiming some type of superiority or higher worth and the student as being inferior.

Perhaps this analogy can clarify:

Jack and Ron go hiking along the same trail in the woods, but one begins before the other. They both have cell phones to keep in communication.

Is it likely that Jack, who is a mile ahead of Ron, will call him and brag about his superiority because he is further ahead?

No. That would be ridiculous. Jack is merely on a different place on the path not a superior place.

Does it make sense that Ron would wish to skip over the next mile of trail so he could be even with Jack?

No. He wouldn’t if he could because the reason he came hiking in the first place was so he could experience the beauty and majesty of the wonders of nature along the journey. Ron is not worried about being inferior to Jack, but he does want to see all that Jack saw and more along that mile of space that separates them.

As the two traveled, however, Jack spotted some poison Ivy and called Ron to warn him about it. Now instead of seeing this as an attempt of Jack to show his superiority Ron sees it as an act of service for which he is grateful.

Later Jack calls again and tells Ron to look for some wild blueberries at the next bend. They are delicious and he knows hat Ron will enjoy them.

Again, Ron does not even consider the idea that Jack is demonstrating his superiority, but is merely thankful for the service. In fact he is so thankful that he decides to make a call to Mark who is just beginning the journey to pass along Jack’s tips plus a few of his own. And if the full truth be known Jack himself has been receiving communication from another who is ahead of him.

Thus does the chain of pilgrims proceed upon the Way, veering on and off the Path at will, but eventually all wind up at the appointed destination, all with an equally full and rewarding experience.

It is important to realize that there are two types of leaders that compete for our attention:

(1) Those who desire to be served. These self-deprived souls do not care about the progress or the benefit received by their followers. The follower is only of benefit in so far as the leader’s ego is stroked and his own little will is served and satisfied.

(2) Those who desire to serve. These are like Jack in the example. They pass along helpful knowledge for the sheer pleasure of knowing that are helping another progress joyfully along the path. After all, what fun is such a journey if you cannot share the experience? Sharing brings greater enjoyment to all.

To believe that merely having others serve you will bring the greater happiness is pure illusion.

Choosing Life or Death

Choosing Life or Death

A reader asks about the resurrection in relation to reincarnation. If Jesus or a Master overcomes death and supposedly has an immortal body how can he be born again in a new body? Is it possible that Jesus or the Christ could be reincarnated?

First let me quote to you a scripture that refers to celestial beings who have overcome death. It states: “Wherefore, all things are theirs, whether life or death…” D&C 76:59

Thus if a person becomes a master, all things are his. He can choose life or death. If a master can choose death then his body is only as permanent as he desires it to be.

There are two main stages in the overcoming of physical death. The first is the obtaining of the power to rejuvenate the body for as long as service in the physical world is required. This was obtained by Moses for instance. During the forty years in the wilderness living conditions were so harsh that all died but a handful. At the end of this period Moses was still vigorous because he obtained the power from God to rejuvenate his body. Finally, when his mission was accomplished he let his body go the way of all flesh.

The second major state is restoration and is referred to in the scriptures as the “better resurrection.” Jesus was the only one in recorded history to demonstrate this. When the power of restoration is acquired the adept’s body can be destroyed and he can restore it to pristine condition. He can also restore or resurrect any body from a past life for the memory of all his past and the patterns thereof are recorded in his physical permanent atom.

If the high initiate decides he wants to incarnate as a regular human again he can do it several different ways depending on his evolution. If he is in a current body and wants to preserve it he can place the body in a secure location, and then leave it and enter the body of a new baby or participate in an overshadowing where another body is shared.

The second method is to fold up his physical body within the parent vibration of the spirit and then enter again into a new incarnation. In this case his new body will be his vehicle of manifestation for some time to come.

True immortality is in the spiritual body and not the physical as the Mormons believe.

Paul made a reference to this:

“It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.

“Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.” I Cor 15:44 & 50

When one travels to kingdoms above the physical he does not go there as a physical being. When Jesus walked through the walls to meet the apostles what body was he in as he passed through the wall? It was not the physical for the physical body in its present condition cannot pass through a wall. When a Master passes through a wall or to other worlds he folds his physical up in the spiritual. One could say it is a little like deep sea diving. When you come up out of the water you no longer need the diving suit. You take it off and only use it again when you want to make another plunge.

Hope this gives you food for thought.

Holy Ghost/Holy Spirit

Some want to know if there is a difference between the Holy Ghost and Holy Spirit. In actuality there is no difference. Everywhere in the new Testament where “Holy Ghost” and “Holy Spirit” is used, both the words “Ghost” and “Spirit” come from the same Greek word which is PNEUMA.

Translators merely used the word “Ghost” instead of “Spirit” because they felt like wording it as such at the time, not because of anything in the original language.

Something Wicked This Way Comes

A reader expressed concern that I may be secretly affiliated with some sinister organization or have some secret agenda to establish control over people’s lives. He brought us Urantia and Hurtak as possible connections.

Let me first specify that I have nothing to do with any Urantia organization or Hurtak. I read his book around 20 years ago and that was all. I am not particularly impressed with Hurtak or Urantia. I cannot find a true newly revealed principle in either of them and the revelation of principles is my main criteria for value.

I am not a member of any church or even loosely affiliated with any organization among humanity. I haven’t even joined the local Chamber of Commerce.

As Glenys said I have stated my intentions numerous times.

Here they are in a nutshell.

(1) To do all I can to bring peace on earth goodwill to human kind.

(2) To enhance the power of decision and the exercise of free will for the individual and group.

(3) To free the individual and group from unearned and appointed authority which is the mark of the Beast. I do this by teaching that all things must be tested against a person’s own soul in connection with judging through mind and heart.

(4) To pass on teachings that I believe have much value.

(5) To stimulate higher spiritual progress and evolution.

(6) To do what I can to prepare the world for the coming of Christ.

(7) To have a good time in the process.

Methodology

A newer reader criticizes me for the way I present my teachings, to which I responded:

Many find my presentation as a breath of fresh air after working through numerous works of fiction that are presented as truth. Anything that I present as a true occurrence I assure you is an event that really happened. Any teaching I present is presented as an item for consideration that you should not accept as true unless you give it every test possible, especially the test of your own soul.

My methodology may be good or bad but method has nothing to do with fruit. Many disliked the methods of Jesus and crucified him for it, but his fruit was still good.

One can plant a tree and have strange and unusual methods in cultivating it, but in the end it is the taste and quality of the fruit that is the test of value. The fruit is the fruit; the method is the method. They are two separate items.

I would say that judging by the quality of people who are in harmony with me that the fruit is very good so far. Like attracts like. If this principle is indeed true then I am flattered.

The reader continued saying that I present my teachings as truth rather than just saying that they are mere opinion. He says that members should question me.

In many cases I see the teaching I give out as more than opinion, Thus it would be a lie to state it as such from my point of view. I present all teachings in as positive light as possible to jolt all seekers into using their discernment to discover the truth. The best way to get a response from your soul is not to run a weak opinion by it but to run an easily understood positive or negative statement or thought past your inner higher intelligence. Thus if I say something in error it is more likely to ring a bell within than some watered down statement that does not even wake the interest of the soul.

I have preceded my teaching many times with the statement that they may or may not be true and that they go out with no claim of authority and that each seeker must test them with his own soul.

Perhaps you and other newer members should read over the archives where many teachings were totally dedicated to laying the foundation of not trusting me without confirmation.

If I am right about everything and you believe it and follow the teachings without confirmation from within you have found nothing. The fountain of living waters is the Spirit of God within you, and guiding seekers to this discovery is at the core of my teachings.

I challenge you to find another teaching situation where there is more questioning (and answers given) than there is here. I probably spend about a third of my teaching time handling challenges. In fact I spend so much time that many complain to me that we spend too much time with the type of questioning you mentioned.

Again I think you are underestimating the intelligence of many group members who accept most of my teachings. Just because they do not challenge me on a regular basis does not mean that they are not independent thinkers. Often times a person does not agree entirely and just wants to mull it around in their mind a while rather than overtly question.

Discovering Suppression

Discovering Suppression

Question: What is the solution to suppression and denial? How do we help one who suppresses to express their true feelings? How do we help one who is in denial to admit that they are harboring negativity?

One of the problems with suppression is it creates negative energy within us that acts like steam building up in a kettle. It builds and builds and builds in pressure until it explodes through the safety value. If there is no release through such a valve then the person will develop many health problems because of the internal pressure.

Most people with the problem of suppression are basically nice people. Casual acquaintances will see them as very balanced emotionally, one who never flies off the handle. But those in close relationship know better.

When in close relationship with a suppresser and you hurt their feelings once, twice or three times nothing seems to happen. In fact they pretend that their feelings are fine and that you have done nothing to offend them. You, the offender, tend to think to yourself that it is nice to be around an individual who is so tolerant. You may continue to hurt their feelings a dozen times or more and all still seems to be well from the outside, but inside a storm is brewing. As the pressure of the emotion grows inside it reaches a point where it merely takes one more small offense to create the explosion.

When the explosion happens (with the straw that breaks the camel’s back) it often comes with a very small offense to which the person responds with great anger or emotion. The person making the offense is beside himself. Often the offense is so small that he has no idea what he did wrong and he is most puzzled that his associate seems to be acting way out of character. Whereas this person usually seems so level headed – now all of a sudden he’s acting like someone totally out of control.

What is the solution?

It is not easy for the one suppressing because it is very difficult for them to find and face their true feelings.

Much help can come from their associates, especially a lover or spouse. One must pay strict attention all the time when in relationship with one who suppresses. Whenever you say something that could cause hurt, do not listen to their words, but tune in to their feelings. Picking up negativity is probably the easiest energy to receive psychically because it is so dense and powerful, so you do not have to be extremely sensitive here.

When you pick up or calculate that a new storm is brewing the best thing to do is to get the small storm moving before the big storm happens. If you keep letting some air out of the tire it will never blow up. In this case the energy of harmony through conflict is a good path and it is advisable to forcefully draw the hurt out of the person. If you sense there is hurt and he or she says no everything is fine then press the issue. If the suppresser still denies then repeat the offense.

“So it really doesn’t bother you at all that I think your kid is spoiled rotten?”

Do whatever it takes to bring the emotion to the surface. If you bring it up before the boiling point is reached then it will be much easier to deal with. When the emotion does come to the surface the instigator must turn into Mr. Nice Guy and apologize profusely if necessary and show a fullness of love and acceptance to the suppresser. This will often result in a very blissful sharing between the two.

Have you heard it said that the most passionate lovemaking is after a good fight? This is the same principle at work.

It is important that we each learn whether we or our associates suppress and the easiest way to discover it is through handwriting analysis.

Suppression is revealed in handwriting through the retracing of strokes, particularly in the letters M and N, but can also be revealed to a lesser degree in other letters.

Look at the first sample below.

 

 

 

The upstrokes on the first M retraces showing suppression of emotion. The second M has little retracing showing normal control and the third has all the upstrokes breaking off with no retracing showing a person with a very outgoing and healthy release.

Marianne Williamson’s writing gives us an example retracing with high suppression whereas John Kennedy’s writings shows a very healthy emotional release.

Study these and attempt to see where your handwriting fits. If you are surprised to discover suppression this is normal because, as I said, many people who have the problem do not acknowledge it in themselves.

Denial of emotion can also be discovered in handwriting and is revealed in the backhand script. The one who denies does not allow himself to feel all the emotion that is there for him. This habit is usually initiated through some major hurt in childhood. The prime suspect is the parents, but a lover or peer group can also be the cause.

After the major hurt occurs the person decides that he does not want to ever hurt like that again so he will not allow himself to feel with full intensity again. By not allowing the registration of full feeling the person thinks he is protected from full hurt.

This denial has several negative repercussions. First by tuning out the bad he also tunes out the good and denies himself many of the emotional joys available in life.

Secondly, he also winds up tuning out his sensitivity to his own soul so the channel of soul contact is lessened.

If you discover through handwriting that you have suppression or denial what should you do?

The most important thing with suppression is to PAY ATTENTION at all times to the emotions you feel within you, not matter how silly, unenlightened or insignificant they seem. When you feel them acknowledge them and seek a way to release them

If you discover denial the cure is to face your fears about feeling emotion with full intensity for he who denies, denies because he is afraid of repeating an old hurt.

Another thing you can do is to seek to alter your handwriting. Practice making your M’s and N’s with no retracing. If you have a backhand practice writing with a slight forward slant. After about six weeks of such practice some will experience an internal change.

Question: When you feel an emotion within you that you are tempted to ignore or suppress what should you do? What if it will offend others by bringing it out in the open? What if it makes you look petty or unenlightened? Should you do it anyway?

Two in One

Two in One

I was asked for more clarification on the overshadowing.

Some questioning the overshadowing have a Mormon background so here is an LDS scripture for them:

“And he received all power, both in heaven and on earth, and the glory of the Father was with him, for HE DWELT IN HIM.” D&C 93:17

The Christ is called both the Father and the Son in the scriptures. He was called the Son because he dwelt in the flesh, but was called the Father because he was polarized as the sending entity in relation to Jesus. The Father here spoken of who “dwelt” in Jesus was the Christ. Jesus has all power in heaven and earth because of his link to the Christ. We also have this same promise.

Neither Jesus, the Man, or Christ the Master of Masters created the worlds, but it was the Word (Logos) which is the aspect of the universal Christ that created all things. Both Jesus and the Christ were one with this aspect or “position” as Joseph Smith called it.

There is no argument about Jesus Being the Messiah (with the help of his Father of course).

I would suggest seekers read my numerous postings on this proving the doctrine from the scriptures.

I really had my doubts when I first learned of the overshadowing principle but when I opened my mind I received powerful undeniable confirmation on the matter.

The entity who incarnated as Jesus was Joshua from the time of Moses. His mission was to nurture a near perfect vehicle of expression that was to be used by the Christ who was Melchizedek in a past age. By vehicle I mean the combination of body-emotions and mind. He was to learn all that was possible in that age in order to provide the best possible means of expression for the mission.

At the baptism John saw the Spirit of the Christ descend and enter into Jesus. This spirit that entered into him was the “Son of God” without father or mother here on the earth.

This was much different from a walk in. It was the highest order of overshadowing and would more technically be called “divine possession.”

Mormons are taught that evil entities are not original, but copy and alter the things of God. Even so it is with possession. The difference is that evil possesses by force, but the good possesses with cooperation and free will.

When Christ entered into the body, Jesus did not walk out, but the two were in one body at one time. This was such an overwhelming experience that Jesus departed into the wilderness to fast for 40 days in order to commune with his Master and gain an understanding of how the partnership was supposed to work.

After the 40 days Jesus attuned himself to his Master’s vibration and the two minds functioned almost as one mind. It was a little like two entities using one mind – two keyboards – one computer, except the communion was through the science of impression rather than words.

This is why Jesus insisted over and over that he was not the originator of the greatest of the works and words such as in the following quote:

“Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? The words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: But THE FATHER THAT DWELLETH IN ME, HE DOTH THE WORKS.” John 14:10

This is why Jesus said he represented the testimony of “two men.”

“Though I bear record of myself, yet my record is true: for I know whence I came, and whither I go; but ye cannot tell whence I come, and whither I go. Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no man. And yet if I judge, my judgment is true: FOR I AM NOT ALONE, BUT I AND THE FATHER THAT SENT ME.. It is also written in your law, that the testimony of two men is true. I am one that beareth witness of myself, AND the Father that sent me beareth witness of me.” John 8:14-18

On the cross the Christ left the body leaving Jesus alone. This is why he made the exclamation of the Father forsaking him.

I have written quite a bit on this subject. If you can’t find it let me know and I could post it again.

This is such a different doctrine than anything learned in any standard Christian belief that it takes strong spiritual sensitivity to consider it.

The Holy Spirit

Good run down of the Holy Ghost from the Mormon viewpoint Brian.

Here are a few words I said earlier about the Holy Ghost:

“Here on earth we have individualized consciousness and we seem to be separate souls, but in the world of pure soul there is only one oversoul for all humanity and you and I are parts of that whole..

“This oversoul is an extension of the oversoul for the whole planet and the soul of the planet is an extension of the oversoul of the whole solar system and so on up the line. The Holy Spirit is a great Cosmic entity that works through the Oversoul. In addition to this there are representatives of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost within the Brotherhood. The Christ, of course, represents the Son for this planet, even though from another way of looking at it he is a Father (or sender) to us.”

The Holy Ghost is also called the Holy Spirit and in some writings the Holy Breath.

Communion with the Spirit is called different things in different circles. Some call it the “Still Small Voice” and others call it the God within. In my teachings I have most commonly called it soul contact, a phrase borrowed from Alice A. Bailey writings and has wider implications than contact with the Holy Spirit.

The first contact is almost imperceptible, and that is why it is called the “Still Small Voice.” This is intuitive contact. Then after the person follows the communication received, the contact becomes more sure and stronger. Then comes the time the person receives the baptism of fire which is a sure witness of direction and the purpose of God. This is communion sent through the Monad.

The raising of the Kundalini has to do with raising the natural fires from the lowest to the highest centers and is a different matter. This clears the channels for higher communication. All seekers regardless of their evolution can receive communion to some degree with the Spirit. Thus in the justice of God truth is always available to all who earnestly seek.

Suppression

Suppression

Question: What kind of health and spiritual problems can surface because of emotional dishonesty and why?

I cannot stress enough that dishonesty and deceit on any level diminishes soul contact and the flow and discernment of spiritual energies.

One of the problems with incorporating honesty into our lives is that some do not seem to realize what it is. In other words, what is and is not a lie in relation to our spiritual progression?

Dishonesty, or a lie, is when you communicate on any level and that information is knowingly presented so as to communicate to another that which is not true.

Thus if some one hurts your feelings and they ask you if you are hurt and you say no you’re fine – that is a lie on the emotional level.

What is not a lie?

It is not dishonest or a lie to keep a secret or to not reveal all your thoughts. Some believe that not telling all is a form of dishonesty, but if this were so, we all would be dishonest each moment of our lives for none of us spill our guts on everything. Becoming as the National Enquirer or on Jerry Springer is not the ideal here.

If a Master were to appear to you this moment there are many questions that you could ask that he would not answer. On the other hand, everything that he would tell you would be true. That is one of the prime reasons he is a Master because he has learned to make all his words reality and his promises all come true. This is perhaps the most important lesson we have to learn on the way to adeptship.

A reader brought up the most crippling physical result of emotional dishonesty and that is cancer. The suppression of negative emotion and the lie of pretending that all is well, when all is not well is a much greater threat to health than any pesticides we get in the grocery store. The people who suppress and deny emotion often come as a surprise to their close friends for they usually are known as the cheerful positive one that nothing seems to phase or bother. The cancer people seem to be the “good that die young,” as almost all of them are very nice people who just “want to get along” in peace.

There are two major areas where the problem lies. The first is suppression of negative emotion. This negative emotion is what the Course in Miracles calls a “grievance.” Someone hurts your feelings and you think that it would be hurtful to respond so you suppress, bottle up the emotion, and hope that it will never see the light of day.

The trouble is that emotion is a type of living energy and when it is bottled up it is still in existence and must manifest in some way on the physical plane.

The second major problem is denial. The person who suppresses realizes that there is a negative emotion welling up in his breast, but one who is in denial has so controlled his emotion and even lied to himself to the extent that he has convinced himself that the negative emotion that still resides within him no longer exists. The lower level of vibration that he has settled into is now accepted as his normal state and has thus made friends and become comfortable with the enemy of spirit.

Question:

What is the solution to suppression and denial? How do we help one who suppresses to express their true feelings? How do we help one who is in denial to admit that they are harboring negativity?

I do not want to get off on a totally separate topic here until we are ready to cover it in depth, but I will mention several thoughts on DNA.

I believe that about 99% of what you read on the new age sites about it is not true. We hear a lot about activating new strands – sometimes 12 sometimes 24 or more. We currently have two strands called the double helix and this pattern will remain pretty much as it is now for probably thousands of years to come. The only major change to be expected is when the final root race, the seventh appears.

Many mystics are saying that the “junk DNA” is not really junk but are just superior strains that need to be activated. I agree with the scientists here that these are remnants of past evolutionary developments that no longer have an active use, though they may have an influence. It’s a little like our tailbones as a remnant of a tail that is no longer of use to us. All DNA, including the so-called junk, I am sure does have ancient programming and some memories, but for a true retrieval of ancient memories one would have to tune into the permanent physical atom which is composed of etheric matter.

Many talk about DNA as if a rudimentary knowledge it will provide us with enlightenment. It is fine to study this and all other science to look for correspondences, but it may be a drawback to seek enlightenment or spiritual progression through DNA.

Everything on the physical plane is already prepared for us and will unfold as we expand our consciousness. It is not the other way around. DNA is a tool and does not expand our consciousness. – this occurs through our own decisions.

Someone asked me about the virgin birth. Since this is controversial I will throw it out with no claim of authority, but as a seed thought for your own soul confirmation.

Jesus, the man, was born not of a virgin, but of two parents – Mary and Joseph. Mary was already betrothed to Joseph when she became pregnant – the scriptures have been altered in this regard. When the time of conception was ready the spirit of the Christ overshadowed Joseph and raised the spiritual vibration of the couple joined in physical union. A perfect climax on the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual levels ensued and Mary became a vessel to provide a flawless physical body for Jesus. Later around the age of thirty the actual entity who was the Christ entered into the body of Jesus. Concerning the Christ who was Melchizedek it is written he was:

“Without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life; but made like unto the Son of God; abideth a priest continually.” Heb 7:3

It was thus the Christ who was born into the virgin womb of Jesus at his baptism (symbol of new birth) that gave rise to the legend of the virgin birth.

Thus in more ways than one the Master who is the Christ is the Father and the Son.

Note: After I wrote this I became curious what may be written on the subject in the Gospel of the Nazirenes. Evidence suggests that this is the oldest gospel in existence written in the first century AD. I bought a copy some time ago but haven’t had a chance to read it. Anyway after writing the above I opened the book and read:

“And then said Mary to the Angel, “How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?” And the Angel answered and said to her, “The Holy Spirit shall come upon Joseph thy spouse, and the power of the Most High shall overshadow you, Mary, therefore, also that Holy One which shall be born of you shall be called the Messiah, and his name of the earth shall be called Jesus…” Chapter 2 verse 6.

Interesting verification.

Emotional Honesty

Emotional Honesty

Question: Do you think that honesty and the keeping of your word will have a positive effect on health? Why?

Honestly as well as the keeping of one’s word has the important effect of lowering resistance to higher spiritual energies. One of the most common causes of disease is the resistance of the evolving pilgrim to the next level of energies released through the soul into our energy centers. If deceit or betrayal is found within our personal universe then the vibration is lowered and the higher light seeking expression is met with darkness. Thus does the vibrations of higher light sound a note that is off key and pitch and the discordant notes provide a fertile soil for the growth of disease.

We are all familiar with honesty on the physical plane, but an important part of good health is honesty on the emotional plane. Many who are very honest in the regular sense are very dishonest in the emotional sense and what makes correction even more difficult for them is that they are often praised for it.

What is emotional dishonesty?

It is basically when you feel one thing (usually negative) but communicate to others that you are feeling something else.

Why would one be emotionally dishonest?

Emotionally dishonest people are usually people with a strong desire for peace and harmony. Because of this when they find themselves with a negative feeling or grievance they will often refuse to acknowledge it in themselves or communicate it. Failure to face fear is involved here because this person often has a fear of not being accepted or hurting another’s feelings if he or she is honest.

Examples of emotional dishonesty:

(1) The Martyr

The husband says: “Honey, I’m having Bob and Jim over for he big game tonight – make us some sandwiches would you?”

She does not like Bob and Jim and she does not want to make sandwiches. They can make their own damn sandwiches! Besides she was of the understanding that they were going to have a romantic evening together. Even so, she decides to pretend that all is well and fixes the sandwiches and delivers them with a smile. She thinks that she will create a major argument if she does not cooperate and this is the way of peace.

She is indeed deceiving herself and her husband here because, even though all seems to be well, there is an internal storm brewing within.

(2) The Peacemaker

Mary enters the room and says to Bill: “You know that trip we are taking next week to Yellowstone Park?

“What about it?” says the husband Bill.

“Well, I’ve invited my mother-in-law to come along. I knew you wouldn’t mind.” Then she turns and walks into the kitchen as if all is well.

Now poor Bill will be absolutely miserable if the mother-in-law comes along, but he feels that if he protests that Mary will get very upset and a major disturbance will follow. So for the sake of peace Bill says nothing and pretends to go along. Again in this case there is outer peace but no inner peace.

(3) The Denier

Jim and Sue are watching Jay Leno and Pamela Anderson comes on the scene. “Wow! What a body,” says Jim as he takes a swig of beer. “I think I’m going to have a fantasy tonight.”

Sue is very quiet for the next ten minutes and finally Jim asks: “You OK?”

“I’m fine,” she says.

“I was just kidding about that fantasy thing. I didn’t hurt your feelings did I?”

Sue’s feelings are really hurt, but she feels that it is petty to be hurt over such a thing and says: “No. Don’t be silly. I know I’m no Pamela Anderson. You love me anyway though don’t you?”

“Sure baby…”

Sue has a terrible feeling within her breast, but feels small-minded that it is even there and attempts to deny it out of existence, but a part of her remains aware that it is ever there, especially when Jim makes other insensitive remarks.

Question: What kind of health and spiritual problems can surface because of emotional dishonesty and why?

Messiahs

I was surfing through the posts of a rebel Mormon group, and I discovered at least three, possibly four, claiming to be the Messiah, and there might be others who have not come forth yet.

In addition to this there are hundreds of others claiming to be Messiah types on the internet. It doesn’t take much surfing to find them.

It is interesting to compare these characters to a real Messiah as the Christ was.

Did He proclaim: “Hey, guys! I’m the new Messiah. I’m reincarnated from a great one. Don’t you recognize me? How about being my followers?”

Instead Jesus went forth and taught and did mighty works and it wasn’t long before he did not have to make any claim for his works spoke for themselves.

The words of Jesus come to mind here:

“And he put forth a parable to those which were bidden, when he marked how they chose out the chief rooms; saying unto them, When thou art bidden of any man to a wedding, sit not down in the highest room; lest a more honourable man than thou be bidden of him; And he that bade thee and him come and say to thee, Give this man place; and thou begin with shame to take the lowest room. But when thou art bidden, go and sit down in the lowest room; that when he that bade thee cometh, he may say unto thee, Friend, go up higher: then shalt thou have worship in the presence of them that sit at meat with thee.

“For whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.” Luke 14:7-11

If we are not sure of our position it is best to take the “lowest room” for if we by chance are a beginner we shall not be embarrassed when the truth is revealed. On the other hand, if the Master says: “come up higher” we then are honored. There would be nothing more embarrassing than to think of oneself as a great avatar only to learn that the first initiation has not yet been taken.

Remember, the true disciple does not publicly reveal his status. He is prepared to work with no recognition if that turns out to be his fate. I cannot stress this too often.

I was asked if I had read the Keys of Enoch. Yes, I have read that book. I have the first edition and read it in the late 70’s. That is the only thing of Hurtak’s that I have read. I have not followed anything else he has done or written.

When you read revelations in other sites about energy grids, crystalline structures, DNA, language of light, Merkabah or Metatron you can bet they were influenced either directly or indirectly by Hurtak’s writings.

Real People

Real People

Everyone in favor of throwing Craig to the wild dogs raise your hand. Let’s see. It looks like only one hand went up. Our old friend ZOR. Too bad ZOR, you are outvoted. Now don’t pout ZOR, Craig will say something outrageous again soon and we’ll have another vote. What? You don’t want to wait? No ZOR, the group will be upset if you take the matter into your own hands. They like Craig. What? You don’t like him because he has not turned into a clone. listen ZOR. Nobody is expected to be a clone. Now stop it ZOR. You can’t go after Crag.. John, Glenys, Samu give me a hand, I think we need to throw ZOR to the dogs.

ZOR is taken and heaved into the wild dog pit. Glenys comments about what a great emotional release it was to throw ZOR in the pit.

We close our eyes. It’s too terrible to watch. Then I open mine just in time to see ZOR escape over the fence. Looks like he got just enough roughing up to get fuming mad. Oh Well.

Well, here we are back on dualities again just as I predicted. As I said before, it does not matter which subject we choose be it health, the purpose of life, discipleship or whatever there is no way to discuss any interest or philosophy in this world without the bringing in of duality. And what happens as soon as a strong duality word is used?

Someone comes forward who is attached to escaping duality and we hear a sermon on how it is us who need to escape attachment and live beyond duality.

Let me state this again. Every subject we will be discussing as long as this group exists will have the involvement of dualities. It will save a lot of painful repetition if all can accept that fact and release ourselves from the need to preach to us about escape from this world. Some of us like the dualities that we find ourselves in and get great enjoyment from it. Some of us are smelling the flowers on the way to higher evolution and there is no smelling of flowers without duality. (There can only be a good smell if there is a possibility of a bad smell).

Some have heard that the word holiness is related to the word wholeness and I believe this to be true. Therefore, to achieve true holiness one must achieve the opposite of the priests and the monks who withdraw from the world and spend every possible moment in meditation upon the formless while withdrawing from the world. These are not the whole ones, they are the lop-sided ones. They are living in only part of reality.

John (a Keys member) is a true example of one who I consider to be holy (there are others on the group, I’m just picking on him). He is very disciplined at meditation and visualization, yet this reaching the void does not consume him. He does not let his lower centers such as the solar plexus and sacral atrophy, for after hearing just a few words from him you can sense that his passions and emotional intensity is alive and well and he makes no apologies for it. He does not want to leave behind emotional love, but embraces it while it is in season and smells the flowers of love on all levels upon the path.

I can see John getting angry and raising some hell now and then, but he knows the limits where his soul does not want him to pass and can check himself when necessary.

I can see John feeling some jealousy if someone made a pass at his wife and I can see him feeling pain if she was hurt or if she packed up and left in the middle of the night.

I can also see that if the worst happened that he would exercise detachment by letting go of the past and make the best of the present and move on.

In other words, John is a fine example of one who functions on all levels of being and becoming that is practical for us to work on in regular human consciousness.

You can only reach true oneness by being whole or holy. Without wholeness the mind is split as it is deceived into thinking it is achieving a reality that lies beyond that in which wholeness lies.

There is a lot of truth in the clichés of the world such as – “The test of the pudding is in the pie.” In other words, if the pudding is truly desirable then the pie that is made from it will be good also.

Therefore one of the things I look for in the various philosophies that surface is the end result of that philosophy as it plays out in the believer’s life.

I have met, conversed with and studied people of many different philosophies and rubbed shoulders with many who see themselves as beyond duality. These people are afraid to use certain words like “evil, loss, pain, incomplete” and others in relation to themselves even if they apply. It’s as if the boogieman will get them if they use a taboo word. You speak of any enjoyment you get from duality to them and they look at you as if you are a poor misguided soul that does not know as they know or see from the higher vision that they see.

The interesting thing is that I pick up a very similar vibration from another group and that is the authorities in the Mormon Church. These authorities and the “beyond duality” new agers have much more in common than they will admit – they just use a lot different vocabulary. Here are some similarities:

(1) Neither of them are fun to go drink a beer with.

(2) Neither know any good jokes or have cutting edge humor.

(3) They both speak in a sickly sweet monotone voice that artificially seems to be an attempt at sounding like they love you and have your interest at heart, yet I have rarely felt much love from either group. If you’ve ever noted how a funeral director talks differently from the average guy you’ll get a jest of what I mean.

(4) Both of them have their followers convinced that they are unlikely to ever get angry over anything and seem to display little passion for anything. On the other hand, I have pushed buttons in both groups that shows me a lot of suppressed emotion and anger.

(5) Both groups have an air of superiority that makes you want to shake some reality into them.

(6) Both groups expect you to believe them because of what they say, not because of what is spoken from your own soul.

(7) Both groups have formula beliefs. Go outside that formula in conversation and they get uncomfortable and attempt to get back on the formula.

(8) Many in both groups see money as undesirable unless we are handing it over to them.

(9) Both speak a lot about miracles, but rarely does anything miraculous happen to them outside of that which they imagine.

(10) Both think you have to give up freedom in certain individual areas to fulfill the divine plan.

(11) Weak passions.

I could go on here but you get the idea.

On the other hand, the people I do admire that I look up to and feel a sense of camaraderie and friendship with have this in common.

(1) Strong passion. Not only are their higher centers active but their lower ones are alive and well.

(2) For want of a better word, they seem like real people.

(3) Their attention is on their next step in evolution and not something obscure a zillion years down the road.

(4) In addition to being able to talk about higher knowledge they can enjoy Jerry Springer, the National Enquirer and Mad Magazine.

(5) They take total responsibility for their life.

(6) They make money by providing a real need and service to others.

(7) They are very harmless in most circumstances, but strong passion will come into play when they see injustice or hypocrisy.

(8) Strong sex drive yet having necessary discipline.

(9) There’s an interesting sparkle and passion in their voice when they talk. They are not boring.

(10) Strong desire to excel and achieve.

(11) Willingness to take chances.

(12) Says what they think without filtering out certain political or spiritually incorrect words or phrases.

Conclusion: I vote for associating with real people in touch with duality with real passion capable of feeling not only the love of the soul, but also the stimulating love and passion of the personality.

Emotion and Karma

Emotion and Karma

There are two points in a recent post I will comment on.

First: “I don’t remember who, but somebody said that karma is created when one or both (or several) parties have any energy involved. If nobody cares, nothing happened. For example, I don’t think any of you care what kind of toilet paper I buy.”

Karma is usually defined as either a debt to be paid or a positive balance from which one may draw benefits. Thus the mere act of caring has little to do with the creation of karma.

I believe I know the teaching you are referring to, however, which I believe to be a true one and it goes something like this.

Strong emotion such as love or hate, desire or repulsion, fear or protectiveness creates not karma, as we understand the term, but an energy link that will bring you into repeated contact with the person with whom you share such emotion. If such emotion carries with it any degree of attachment then this person must be faced in relationship again and again, life after life, until you learn to detach yourself from him or her and the emotion connected with the relationship.

Even the lower octave of love creates this problem. Love from this angle would be defined as: “the desire to keep another in a relationship because of what they do for you rather than what you can do for them as the prime motivator.

This is why forgiveness is so important. If you hold a grievance and do not forgive then that negative feeling creates a link that will draw that person back into your life until you do learn to forgive him on all levels.

Imagine the future consequences if you have a dozen people in your life that you have not forgiven. In a future time or life you will have a dozen annoying people in your circle of work or friends and be beside yourself as to how you could have such bad luck in choosing associates.

If you merely have a feeling of attachment toward another a real debt (karma) is not created. Thus you can free yourself of the link instantly at the moment you let go of attachment. This concept is probably why some believe that you can release yourself from karma with a decision – because they have mistakenly called the linkage of attachment a karmic debt. Instead, the linkage we have to others because of attachment merely holds a lesson to be learned.

Karma is different. You can learn your lesson, but still owe the debt just as happens in real life. You can run up your credit card balance too high and learn the lesson not to let that happen again, but the sinking in of the lesson does not pay the bank. You often find yourself making payments long after you have learned to not over extend yourself.

The linkage because of emotion creates no karmic debt, but is immediately dispelled by forgiveness or the release of the binding emotion.

Second: In response to my comment on breaking promises the reader states:

“There again, humanity has made a collective judgment that it is “wrong” to share sexual partners with others. That is not the ultimate “truth” in my mind, but something we have made so.”

The main point I was making was not around sex, but around the subject of honoring your commitments and your word. If a person makes a promise to not eat peas and another is depending on this promise for some reason then he should honor his word. If he does not want to honor it then he should seek a release from the person to whom the promise was made. This has little to do with whether peas are good or bad for you.

If we are to learn to be one with God and establish reliable soul contact through that oneness then we must all learn to honor our word when it is given to another, especially if it would create pain or harm to this trusting person if the word is broken. If we wish to obtain liberation then we must learn to be as the Spirit of God within and keep our word on all matters. When we thus become like the Spirit we commune with the Spirit.

Because I understand this principle I have always been very selective about giving my word, for the breaking of it does create definite effect and karmic debt that must be dealt with in a future time.

If you have an uncommitted relationship and have sex with another person with the understanding that multiple partners is part of the agreement then you are not responsible for your friend’s hurt if he should take offense. But when you make a promise to another soul and that person places trust in you because of that promise then the breaking of that promise can create tremendous pain, pain that would not occur if both parties were true to their word.

If you thus betray a loved one through the breaking of your word, the time will come that one with whom you have placed your trust and given your heart will betray you.

The pain through the betrayal of a loved one has little to do with attachment. You can be very detached from a spiritual point of view yet suffer pain through the broken word.

But do not we suffer pain in relationships because of attachments?

Not necessarily. In a romantic relationship there is a bonding through the circulation of energy for the two become one as the scriptures says. Now you may figure that you are not attached to your little finger and could live without it, but this detachment does not spare you any pain if someone were to rip it out of your hand. Similarly in a committed relationship the other person becomes like an extension of your body and this severing of half of that which makes up a greater life is very painful no matter what state of detachment you have reached.

The Christ himself, the greatest of us all, formed a greater life out of the twelve disciples and because of the flow of energy and the betrayal by Judas he suffered enormous pain and came close to dying in the garden of Gethsemane as a result.

One who is detached as the ancient wisdom teaches can release any person from any relationship and let hem go their way. But he will realize the principles involved and work with the energies so the pain on all sides is at a minimum.

Question: Do you think that honesty and the keeping of your word will have a positive effect on health? Why?

Some have indicated that we should not put a lot of weight on past writings like the scriptures, Blavatsky or Alice A. Bailey. What do you think? If a writing or teaching is confirmed by your soul does the passing of time lessen the value of the teaching?

From Whence Cometh my Writings?

It seems that skeptics are always trying to figure out where I get my writings from, as they think they must have been lifted from somewhere. Now I have just been accused of copying them from The Keys of Enoch by J J Hurtak.

Of all the books to pick that I may be lifting material from I would say that the Keys of Enoch would be far down the list.

The first book to use if such an accusation could be attempted would be the Bible. Of all the written word, that has been the strongest influence in my life. Second would be the writings of Alice A. Bailey. There have been times that I have written something that I thought was pretty original and the later found that AAB’s writings either spoke about it or hinted at it.

Hurtak and I both claim to have keys and that is pretty much where the similarity ends. None of the Keys I either have or will present will be the same as his. He writes from a scientific point of view and I do this to an extent, but I write with much more simplicity than he does and do not include a plethora of obscure words to cause the reader to have to constantly have a unabridged dictionary at his side.

You indicate the Song and the New Jerusalem meditation was lifted from Hurtak. That’s outrageous. The Keys of Enoch has nothing like either of these. Do you care to give evidence of this observation?

As far as the story of Joseph, I do not know what you are referring to here. I do not recall Hurtak or myself elaborating on a story of Joseph. I have given some details about the life of Joseph Smith, but Hurtak gives no elaboration on him, even though he briefly mentions him.

Any two metaphysical writers who write a book will say at least several similar phrases and possibly present some similar ideas in different language, but I challenge you to find anything in my writings that seem to be lifted from his.

On the other hand, I think Hurtak’s book is very similar to the Urantia book concept. He just added a much more sophisticated terminology and teachings. Many phrases he uses are borrowed from Urantia however; others are fairly original.

As far as you being so detached that the one to whom you may be committed would not bring you any pain even if the relationship should be suddenly shattered by betrayal let me say this.

The only way to accomplish this sterile undesirable objective is to not give of your heart, to not let the energies of love and romance flow between the two of you. Once the energies are in circulation there is indeed the possibility of pain if there is sudden interruption through betrayal.

He who is not willing to give to another to make himself vulnerable in this way is missing the most wonderful dimension of human existence and until one has this willingness he cannot commune with completeness to the souls of humanity.

Just as oxygen does not combine with hydrogen to make oxygen more complete even so in true union of souls the male does not unite with the female for completeness, but for the experience of greater life and livingness. Oxygen remains what it is when water is formed and I still remain what I am in my union with my wife. If she should be severed from me I would still remain complete, but miss the experience of the greater life her presence offers me.

Copyrighting Truth

A reader   criticized me for copywriting my writings stating that it is wrong to copyright truth as no one owns it. He also thinks I have borrowed a lot of my ideas.

First I will again state that a lot of the things I write do not come from any book that I am aware of and one reader certainly stretched his imagination when he tried to prove that the early Mormon writers have covered my material. Few of them even had an elementary understanding of reincarnation.

Contrary to popular belief there are new things under the sun, and thank God for this. Who would want to go on a recycling of the past for all eternity?

I think I explained this before but the reason I started putting a copyright notice under my writings is that I noticed in another group there was a copyright notice at the bottom and it was not from the group admnistrator, but Microsoft Corporation. That could mean that if a reader posted some of my material and Bill Gates copyrighted it and later decided that he wanted to own it instead of me that he could prevent me from using my own material.

Actually a similar experience happened to me, as did another member, for I once wrote a parable and gave a copy to a friend of mine on the way to California. A couple years later I discovered that the parable was picked up by someone else and published and copyrighted in nationally distributed book. Now I am in danger of being sued if I publish my own material. For this cause, I have not even shared the parable with the group – one of the best I have written.

As far as copyrighting truth… I think you know that is not the idea. Did you copyright your own book? Did you see yourself as copyrighting truth??? I don’t think so.

The First Law Again

The First Law Again

I think that a reader may have given the wrong impression about belief and disease through this statement:

“the reason people get sick is because that’s what they want”.

Now think on this for a moment. Have you ever been sick or in pain and then said to yourself: “Man this is just what I want. I want to have my nose stuffed up. I want to not be able to breath… I want a good dose of diarrhea – I want to puke in the toilet.

Obviously none of us consciously want pain and disease. How about the unconscious then?

I may be the first to tell you this but there is no such thing as an unconscious desire, for desire can only be manifest through consciousness.

Let me rephrase the above statement in a way that I believe will be seen to be true by most of the members in the group.

“None of us want disease and pain, but disease and pain are often caused by what we want.”

When I was a kid I wanted and loved sugary products but at the same time I did not like feeling ill. I did not realize it at the time but all the sugar I ate made me feel good in the short term but ill in the long term.

Because what we want is often a thing that gives short term pleasure but long term pain our computer brain often takes these signals from us and takes the short term want as its prime directive.

Note: The important thing to understand about the computer brain is that it is not very smart. It is a great computer and storehouse of data but it has primitive reasoning powers. It always adds A+B to get C. It cannot look at the picture composed of A+D+F+G+K+M+P and get X as you and I can do consciously.

Our computer program in our computer brain thus takes in the input as “I want sugar – sugar is good – sugar is pleasure” and does its best to adjust its programming to cooperate with this desire. It does not recognize that “sugar brings long term discomfort,” for that would be seeing the big picture or coming up with X.

Sometimes illness does bring us some of the things we want – sympathy and attention, for instance.

Now if the computer brain receives the input as follows: “sympathy is good and illness brings sympathy,” then it will draw the simple conclusion that “illness is good,” and arrange an illness for you since that is what you seem to want.

Notice the word “seem” here. No one who is sane wants to be ill but your programming can misinterpret it because of conflicting or confusing desire messages that we send to it.

Now in the above case it is entirely possible that someone could apply the technique that the reader used to get rid of the illness. That is you could send a message to the internal programming telling it that you do not want to be ill.

In our above example the computer brain made the person ill to get sympathy – so what happens if you send it a message that you do not wish to be ill? Depending on other aspects of the data that is stored it could do one of two things.

(1) It could receive the “I do not want to be ill” as a mistake because illness is equated with sympathy and therefore you cannot want health because illness brings you sympathy and sympathy is good. It would therefore calculate that you wish to remain ill and keep your illness for you.

(2) It could receive the “I do not want to be ill” as correct and thus assist in your healing but at the same time conclude that the need for sympathy was a mistake and thus influence the program of your life so you no longer receive sympathy.

Now this (#2) may work out fine if you have outgrown the need for sympathy, but if you have not you may find your life as miserable living with little or no sympathy as you did living with an illness. If your computer brain receives strong input that this new health seems to be a mistake because you are more unhappy than before then it will resume the old program of illness and then see if this makes you happier. If you seem to be happier being ill than being healthy it will make the simple interpretation that you desire illness above all else and it will cooperate to keep you in that condition because it seems that this is your desire.

But is this what you really want?

No, of course not, but your internal programming is deceived into thinking so because of wrong messages sent.

Another member writes: “I believe that there are no judgments unless you make up one…”

Yes this is true, but life is composed of millions of judgments. Without judgment there would not even be consciousness.

Below is a quote from a previous post:

When you think of it, it is silly to say we should not judge. As soon as you wake in the morning you make a judgment as to whether to get up or sleep a while longer. When you get in the shower you make a judgment as to when you are clean enough to get out.

When you eat breakfast you make a judgment as to what you will have and how much.

When you drive to work and are a little late you make a judgment as to whether you are going to speed or not.

Finally you get to work and meet the new guy who was just hired. He wants to be your best friend and now you make a judgment on whether or not you want this type of personality in your life.

Then your boss wants you to dig up some dirt on the boss above him. You judge your boss to be wrong and refuse.

We could go on and on here but hopefully we get the point. Judgments are not wrong. Only wrong judgments are wrong.

Every quality and ability has a positive and negative side to it.

When the Bible and A Course in Miracles talks about judgment in a negative light, they are talking about negative, limiting judgments.

Example: The kid tells the parent he is going to get straight A’s next time around and the parent says: “You’ve failed miserably in the past, so you’re going to fail again.”

This is a cruel and limiting judgment.

A positive judgment would be something like this: “I have seen you make progress in the past when you make an effort and I do believe you have it in you to dramatically improve your grades.”

Here the parent made a judgment on the positive possibilities of the child and in this case judgment is a good thing.

Thus we see that making judgments is not the problem, but using the negative aspect of judgment can be.

The reader continues:

“and “you are betrayed because you betrayed someone in the past” doesn’t make sense in that light. It’d suggest clear “universal judgment” directly from the Higher Self, who’s not supposed to judge in the first place… :)”

Where do you get the idea that the Higher Self does not judge? If we equate the Higher Self as being One with God then it would have to judge. For one thing, all the sacred writings of the world tell us that God does judge.

Your Higher Self made a judgment and a decision to extend itself and create the entity which is you. Therefore, without judgment you would not even exist.

In this reality we have made certain judgments about what constitutes betrayal and rightly so for without such judgments civilization would have no order and would cease to exist.

For instance, at least 99% of humans would judge the following to be a betrayal.

You (Person A) finally meet the person of your dreams (Person B) and make wonderful soul contact together. You both seem to desire to spend a lifetime together and make many wonderful plans to this end. You both thus make a voluntary commitment to seek union together throughout this life and to keep romantic and sexual energies within the union. As an external symbol of this agreement you both enter into a marriage contract and make promises to each other and the world.

Now shortly after your marriage at a time when you think all is well you come home from work early and find the love of your life having wild sex with the UPS person in the back of the truck.

Is there betrayal here?

Yes.

Is there hurt?

Definitely.

Now some would go so far as to say that the hurt is the fault of the Person A who is innocent by most standards. They will say that as he or she opens the UPS truck door and gazes on the sexual escapade, that he is not supposed to judge.

What’s he supposed to do then? – say something like this:

“Honey, I am sorry to disturbed you. Obviously you have needs to fill so I’ll go in the house and read a book so you can finish your fulfillment without me in the way judging you.”

There are actually people who believe that they are so non judgmental that they would behave like this…

Until they go through the experience. Then they change their mind. Then they discover a reality that they were oblivious to in their idealistic past.

Now such a discovery is not the ultimate reality, but a necessary stage of reality that must be faced before higher realms of non attachment and bliss can be truly discovered.

The fact is this. Person B broke a solemn promise to person A. Even though Person B knew that the breaking of this promise (a promise given through free will) would cause great hurt to his/her spouse he/she did it anyway.

Just like setting your dog on fire will cause a negative effect that you will have to account for even so will the pain caused through the breaking of a promise create an effect that will need correction.

The reader continues:

“Now, I do believe that we, when we act from a limited consciousness, make mistakes, and that we create our realities based on that, but I do not believe that it is purposely made “difficult” but that we get “stuck” on what we haven’t learned, and thus by merely not understanding enough to be aware that we can create a better outcome, we make the karma principle work.

So, in actuality, our Higher Self wouldn’t make us “pay back karma”, but instead steer us towards experiences where we could best learn to forgive ourselves and the situation, thus freeing the energy that was previously stuck in relation to that particular issue.”

Karma, or cause and effect, as it effects you has nothing to do with the judgment of your Higher Self. Cause and Effect is just there for eternity and there is nothing anyone or any being can do about it. It is not created by judgment for it exists independent of all things and is the power through which all realities are created.

Karma also has nothing to do with guilt. If Person A and Person B are both in accidents that break another person’s leg, is there any difference in the effect if person B feels guilt and Person A does not?

No.

The third party still has the broken leg whether guilt is involved or not. The doctor needs his pay no matter how much guilt you feel or do not feel – it makes no difference. Both person A and B must cough up the payment for medical expenses.

The Higher Self therefore does not “judge” the amount of Karma (effect) that you have manifested in the great pool of universal response. It is just there for you to deal with. Instead the Higher Self is a little like your financial advisor who understands your debits and credits much better than you do. It sees that you owe X amount of money and is aware that you may not have the capacity to pay it all off at once so it works out a payment program so you can retire the debt in the most pain free way possible and at the same time teaching you the perils of overreaching yourself. This Higher Self (advisor) thus seeks to get you debt free so you can use your assets (good karma) in a joyous way.

Thus eventually you can use money (effects) to the ends that you desire with no limitations.

Visitation, Karma and Health

Visitation, Karma and Health

Been very busy my friends. Sometimes I wish I just had a nine to five job instead of being self-employed with such a demanding business, but the thought is brief. The freedom from the beast of authority means a lot. I’ve only worked for someone else a couple years of my adult life and that was enough to cure me.

During one short period that I attempted to work for someone else I went through about six businesses that went out of business shortly after I went to work for them. One had been in business for 130 years. After going through this experience I thought that maybe a higher power was telling me to work for myself and become self-sufficient.

This I have done. If my business fell apart tomorrow and I lost everything I could still go to work the next day and make money because I understand sales and there are thousands of products out there to sell and many companies pleading for a good salesman to appear.

Thus circumstances have forced me, a born introvert, to learn the skills of the extrovert, so hopefully I can avoid the pitfalls of most visionaries who are often somewhat disconnected from physical reality.

What’s in store for us one asks?

Perhaps the best answer to that question comes from the words of Jesus:

“Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come. But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up. Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.

“Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season? Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing. Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods.” Matt 24:42-47

The keynote of this parable is that your Lord will come in an hour that you think not. Now forget for the moment about any mass appearance of the Christ and instead consider your individual relationship with God. If you follow the highest you know there will come a time when you will be visited by a Presence, either visible or invisible. It will come at a time that you least expect it and a time when perhaps you feel the least prepared spiritually, but it will come.

To dream and wish for the experience will only delay the happening. But if you take the highest you know and go forward in the vineyard of the Master and serve with no end in sight, in season and out of season, in good times and bad. If you serve with love in the dark of night with the same strength as in the light of day, if you continue with loving service through the fiery darts of hate, malice and betrayal and above all if it appears that even your Master and your God seem to completely ignore you as if you do not exist… Through all this you will continue to serve with the highest you know. You continue even if God himself seems to be your enemy putting every obstacle possible in your path and laughing at you as you stumble and fall. You rise up and continue. The time comes that it will not seem to matter to you any more if friends, God or the Masters approve of you or not. It matters not if you are some great chosen one or are looked upon by the Master as the least and most needy of the brethren. You will now serve for the sake of selfless love alone because the need is out there and you sense the need. When this stage is reached in your being one of the Great Ones will take notice and speak: “Behold, the servant! He has become as one of us. Let us invite him into the circle of higher friendship, brotherhood and service.”

But even here the invitation comes not as you expected. All your expectations are shattered and soon replaced by newer ones and the groping in the dark is replaced by walking the path with vision. The reward for your selfless service is sight and as you see the path ahead your heart is filled with joy for that which you see is not what you imagined, but more than you imagined.

We approached this subject of health with the intent of helping members of the group who were having problems. I feel that we need to do what we can to insure that all of us are in reasonable health for it is difficult to serve when all that is on one’s mind is his own survival or release from pain.

After we finish this subject we shall return and finish the principles of discovery. This is another very important subject for if we know not how to discern truth we will “be tossed to and fro by every wind of doctrine” as the apostle Paul worded it.

To achieve some unification on this I believe we need to have a beginning, middle and end to the topic. Our trouble so far is that we have always found ourselves in the middle of the subject and there has been no linkage of ideas or definition of terms to make sure we all speak the same language.

The Question:

Taking reincarnation and karma into effect why do you suppose it is that some people can he healed and others not? Is it possible for one to be healed when his disease is connected with his karma? If one learns his karma is it possible to accelerate payment and thus free himself from unfortunate circumstance?

Many diseases are caused because of past karma and if nothing is attempted but an act of faith, in some cases the healer will be attempting to cancel out certain lessons that are to be administered through the soul.

Someone recently asked how we can discover our past karma, especially if you cannot remember your past.

The first thing to realize is that your soul does not expect you to pay off all your karma in one life, but in any one life where the debt of negative karma still exists there will be a certain amount allocated that you will be expected to pay off. If this karma is linked to a disease (as I believe it was with my uncle) then the karma (or the lesson to be learned) must be lifted or redirected before the person can be healed.

Since the understanding of karma is important in the attainment of permanent freedom from disease it is necessary to discover how it may be affecting our lives.

Of course, the most popular way of discovering karma is to review past lives. The trouble with this is that unless the disciple is relatively free from illusion that his discernment of the past is likely to be incorrect.

Hypnosis and guided meditation, for instance, sometimes reveals the true past, but other times brings forth an imaginary past for a variety of reasons. Only through soul confirmation can one know if such a revealed past is correct.

A second way to discover the past is through dreams, but there is also much distortion in this and the soul must be used again. You can enhance the power to discover the past through dreams by giving yourself suggestions to remember as you are going to sleep. This will not produce immediate results, but will bear fruit over a period of time.

Do not trust someone who claims to be a great one from the past because of supposed synchronicity. Relating oneself to a historical figure because he sees similarities is often very misleading as vision is filtered through a multitude of glamours.

Another problem is that even several revealed past lives does not give the full story of karma you may be facing. For instance, you may know about your last past life, but your Higher Self may have karma arranged for you from a more distant past with which you may be unfamiliar.

One of the best ways to determine areas where one needs to put attention is to study the law of cycles. The adage “history repeats itself” is based on this principle.

Saturn largely governs the energies of karma in this solar system and its orbit around the sun takes over 29 years. This period of time is called a “Saturn Cycle” by astrologers. The first half of the cycle is polarized female/receiving/negative and the second half (from ages 14-29) is male/sending/positive.

The first 29 years of your life is like a mini incarnation. If you have solved your problems and learned the lessons assigned to you then the next 29 will be like a new birth or an advanced incarnation. If the needed lessons are not learned then the second 29 year period will bring you face to face with the same problems you had in the first twenty-eight. If the pilgrim ignores the solving of these problems he will just coast along the line of least resistance and become crystallized by the second Saturn Cycle at age 58 or earlier. He is also likely to suffer ill health.

Then there are those who pass their first cycle successfully and follow the line of least resistance in their second and also crystallize in their third. Only about 10% of humanity successfully navigate into their third Saturn Cycle where they will learn new principles, solve new problems and essentially live three lives in experience and progression whereas many only live one.

It is therefore beneficial to examine your life in 7, 14 and 28 year cycles, in alignment with the Law of Cycles – a little shorter than Saturn’s period of orbit. The first question to ask yourself is this. On reflection can you see that you made either major changes or major events happened to you around the end of these cycles? What was going on in your life and your internal makeup at age 14, 28, 42 and 56? If major changes were taking place around these periods then this is a sign that you are progressing as you should be. If no major changes have occurred since age 28 this is a sign that you have been coasting. Be careful though that you do not coast too long because if one finds himself coasting toward the third Saturn Cycle he will find the energies within himself crystallizing.

When honey crystallizes it gets thicker and thicker so it will no longer pour easily. This is what happens with the human in incarnation. If he follows the line of least resistance and does not work on his progression he will find his movement forward at a standstill by the time he reaches his mid fifties.

What the disciple needs to do is to look at these 7, 14 and 28 years cycles and watch for different circumstances that seem to be repeating themselves.

Does it seem that a lover or friend betrays you cyclically? This would indicate that you have betrayed others in past lives and that you must reach a state of mind where you have a resolve to be true to others in relationship.

Does it seem that you get stolen from regularly, not only materially, but in other ways? Then this indicates that this was a problem for you in the past and it is time to incorporate the lesson of not seeking for that which you have not earned.

Do you have a problem with dominating people? Then you created a problem for others in the past.

And so on.

If you have periodic illness it is helpful to examine repeating problems and see if they correspond. All illness is caused or enhanced by some type of resistance to spiritual flow. If the person can hone in to the problem he needs to solve and start making progression with it then his health and vitality will increase,

The part of the body the physical distress is located in is also an indicator of the cause of the physical problem.

For contemplation I will name several problems. Using the Law of Correspondences tell me what you think the spiritual cause is.

(1) Heart Disease

(2) Skin rashes and inflammation.

(3) Constipation

(4) Throat Cancer

(5) Backache

(6) Neck problems

(7) Alzheimer’s

(8) A major accident
