The Coming of Christ and Questions

The Coming of Christ and Questions

The coming of Christ is in three stages.

The first stage is the permeation of the teaching of the Christ consciousness and the rising of the Christ consciousness in the hearts and minds of numerous individuals.

This first stage is nearly complete.

The second state is called the “Overshadowing.” Preparations have been made, but this stage is not yet complete. In this stage the Master teacher who was Melchizedek and later as Christ in the body of Jesus of Nazareth will come in and share the body of one of more disciples. In this stage the actual presence of the Christ will be on the earth, yet unrecognized.

In the third stage the Christ, if he deems it necessary will materialize a body for his own use. When, how and if this third stage will happen is a secret kept within the mind of God.

Many believe that the coming of Christ is merely the raising of the Christ consciousness. This is part of the entire plan, but only the first part. Such people forget that there was and is an individual Master who is the Christ and that every individual entity reappears periodically on the earth. The Christ is not an exception. He will indeed come again.

Now we hear that several gurus and teachers who claim to be the Christ. Not even Jesus publicly made that claim. His works and his teachings claimed it for him.

Anyone who   claims to be the Christ should be asked at least one discerning question. Ask him to teach us just one principle or at least a piece of knowledge that is not found in a commonly published book. I would prefer a principle because principles bring forth a flashing forth of light from the soul. If this light is stimulated it is evidence that a true teacher has arrived.

Question: DK teaches there are seven planes.  How far up the ladder can one go through out of body travel?

Exploring the worlds of form is a much different thing than exploring the formless worlds.

Astral travel can involve the astral body leaving the physical yet still being connected by the silver cord. In this case the person can do a certain amount of exploring the physical and sometimes other worlds.

A higher form of traveling is through the mental body. Here the person travels by bringing the world to him rather than going to the far places of the world. This is like sitting in your chair, not leaving your body but watching a 3D screen that takes you where you want to go.

When the seeker travels in the formless worlds he doesn’t see things in the earthly sense but sees in different ways. He sees through the eyes of understanding, through the soul, through impression, through seeing principles and others. The trick for him is to register these impressions sufficiently on the physical brain so he can retrieve them in regular consciousness.

Learning to see auras helps prepare for mental travel for when one can see the outer film on the aura, he prepares himself to see things in the far distance.

Question: “Are you also suggesting that we too should be devoting our ‘free time’ and/or focusing our attention (activities, etc.) to serving others versus ‘personal progress’”?

I wasn’t suggesting anything for anyone else but only dealing my own path.

The disciple on the path goes through cycles of receiving and sending. The first 30 years of my life was spent in receiving and then I reached a point where I sensed the world need, and that I had much to give. My polarity thus switched. I moved from a top priority of inner development to outer sending.

Of course, in the sending mode, I still learn but learning is not my main focus at present. I see ways in which the world can be changed for the better and that is where my focus is.

Each person seeking the path must search their own souls to see where their focus must be. If it feels right to concentrate on inner development and learning then that is most likely where your main focus should be. If you feel a responsibility to serve and send, then put your focus there. But always remember the Middle Way of judgement, and remember that in the midst of receiving there are times to send and give and vice versa.

Never feel guilty or ill at ease for following what seems right to your inner center.

Sometimes a seeker will devote a whole life to inner development and then spend most of the next life in sending forth the light he achieved.

A reader disagreed with my view that two who are in touch with the Holy Spirit can always reach agreement.

Two can have spiritual contact on different points and disagree, but the disagreement will be on personality views, not what has been received from within.

As we ascend back toward spirit we are guided toward union, harmony and oneness, yet maintain our individual identity. I know from personal experience that it is possible to reach agreement on any point of truth. The trick is that one of the parties in the disagreement must have a point of truth because the Spirit of Truth will only affirm truth. If two people capable of spiritual contact seek that contact together, then the point of truth will be revealed without fail and unity will result. I have never had a failure in this as long as the other person is willing to take the steps to make the spiritual contact. When a point of truth is revealed through your soul it is impossible to deny to yourself unless you risk taking the dark path.

The woods are lovely, dark and deep, but I have promises to keep, and miles to go before I sleep, and miles to go before I sleep.” — Robert Frost

A Master Plan

A Master Plan

A reader complained that I had appointed myself to be a spiritual teacher, as if that were a bad thing. To this I responded as follows.

You and some others seem to feel that I am a self-appointed teacher and indicate that this is wrong for some reason. What makes you think I am self-appointed. You would be completely unaware if I was working with some higher life.

To the world Buddha, Jesus and Mohammed were self-appointed teachers. They felt they had something to say and they said it. They had free agency and they used it. Many resented them, but a few learned.

What kind of teacher do you want? Do you want some council to pick a person at random with no knowledge as to whether he can teach or not and say “be our teacher.” Chances are the poor fellow will have nothing to say.

Every true teacher will use some self initiative and test the waters by writing books, giving seminars and teaching those with whom he comes in contact. Self-initiative is the only way to commence the path of a teacher.

What would you have me do? Stay silent and never appear on-line again? I give you the freedom to teach or not teach to your hearts content. Will you not grant me the same privilege?

You believe that somewhere there is a master plan. You are not alone. Most religious people as well as New Agers do. However, the truth is often upside down to the way people think.

There is no great master plan — at least, not in the way people perceive it. In the beginning we all existed within the mind of God as one great life. In order to know itself God multiplied itself. He/She/It (He for simplicity) did this so his numerous parts could have every possible experience and learn to know the other parts. The only master plan is to put the puzzle of scattered parts back together. In the process of putting the puzzle together, however, every possible piece of knowledge is learned and every possible experience is lived.

There are lives in this universe that are put together or less fragmented than we as a human race are. These beings have great plans that will aid in putting the pieces of God together. If they were to share them with us they may seem so deep and beyond us that we would consider that a master plan, but in reality the only true master plan is the union of souls — “putting Humpty Dumpty back together again.”

The atoms, molecules and cells have put themselves together in alignment with the One God, but we have not, and the galaxies have not.

We have a long way to go and man is the point of tension for the life of God in our current universe.

We’ve had some new Alice A. Bailey students join the group lately and am sure they will be a good addition.  Years ago, I joined their Arcane school, but the teacher assigned to me couldn’t answer any of my questions, so I couldn’t see any value in continuing. So far I have found no one that has been able to shed any light for me on DK’s teachings. There’s a group in Los Angeles, California, USA, that claims to be channeling him but I feel little light in their words. Then there is the Summit Lighthouse that claims to channel him and other masters. I feel no light there either.

Throughout my life I have been unable to find a physical teacher and have been driven to explore the books of the world. Through them I received much stimulation, but my greatest questions have been answered through revelation and inspiration and my inner master has instructed me to take certain steps in reaching out and assisting mankind to prepare for the reappearance of the Christ. How the steps are taken is up to me and this on-line communication is an experiment in disseminating the teachings.

I find that “A Course in Miracles” [ACIM] does seem very elementary from the viewpoint of technical knowledge, but from the viewpoint of the love-wisdom aspect I would say it is unsurpassed. Having the love-wisdom aspect of ourselves stimulated allows us to assimilate technical teachings, such as AAB much more. The main purpose of the book (ACIM) is to stimulate soul contact. Unfortunately most who believe they have reached “the atonement” have only touched some high emotional energy.

One can only go so far until a solid soul contact has been made. Then there is the baptism of fire from and through the Monad. A group must experience this “fire of the Spirit” and partake of its power to prepare the way for the Christ.

Many of the Hierarchy incarnated in Germany with the intent of picking up the Shamballa energy and Hitler beat them to it. These disciples were thus caught with their pants down and found themselves in a horrifying situation. Stauffenberg and Rommel were two disciples in on a plot to remove Hitler and were themselves killed along with 5000 of the greatest lights of Germany when the plot was uncovered. Some were strung up with piano wire and their death put on film to show the other German troops the fate of traitors.

I do not expect readers to believe any of my words just because I say them, but I feel that some could be of great assistance and whatever proof they need is available if answers are sought from the Inner Christ.

I have learned silence from the talkative, tolerance from the intolerant, and kindness from the unkind; yet strange, I am ungrateful to those teachers. – Khalil Gibran

The Need for Hierarchy

The Need for Hierarchy

A reader disapproved of some comments I made  concerning the universal need for hierarchies within the universe of time and space, especially in relation to the atomic world.

There is an ancient occult statement, however, that says “The mind slays the real.” I maintain that to find the real truth about the microcosm we have to use the law of correspondences and stretch beyond scientific discoveries. Notice that I do not say we leave them behind. A scientific truth is as true as any truth, and truth will harmonize with truth. If I am understood correctly I do not believe that readers will see any of my teachings contradicting scientific fact.

We must keep in mind that hierarchy among the atoms is of a much higher evolutionary order than among humans. They are much more evolved in their sphere than we are in ours. A proton or atom can live for billions of years. Who among us is capable of that? They have achieved an equality, a unity and organization much greater than we have even imagined for ourselves.

The word “rank” is not an appropriate word for the hierarchies of the microcosm, nor will it be appropriate for the hierarchies of light which are to come. A servant is usually not considered higher in rank than the one he serves. A beneficial hierarchy is created by energy trying to balance itself whether in humans or in atoms. One unit of energy seeks energy from a more endowed source for a period of time until equality is achieved. If there are two atoms, even of the same element one will have a greater energy than the other. Even among two hydrogen atoms forming the building block of the universe through hydrogen bonds, one will have a greater charge. The one with the sending energy is the teaching atom (for want of a better word).

It is a scientific fact that atoms unite to create molecules, molecules unite to create cells, cells unite to create greater bodies. It is also fact that the atomic world has created structures and creations many times beyond the accomplishments of humanity. You wouldn’t say that a computer is built by a random exchange of energy, yet you indicate that the atoms have built their creations with no guiding hierarchical intelligence. Just certain “patterns” develop by energy transfers.

I will say this about atoms and hierarchies. There is life, consciousness and intelligence in the atomic world. The creative process that took place between the evolution of the atom and the cell is far beyond anything in intelligence and cooperation that the human atoms (Adams) have accomplished. Through science we can study some of the effects and orders created by that intelligence, but I doubt if any scientist in the world knows anything about that intelligence itself. The trouble is that they study the atomic world under the assumption that everything is taking place because of an interplay of mindless energy rather than intelligence. Because they are not looking for intelligence within the microcosm they see none.

Some on the spiritual path will see the great order among the tiny lives and give credit to the great Universal God, but they see it backwards. It is not the big One Life creating the order as a unit. It one life with many parts finding pieces of Itself, putting Itself back together. This process is in its infancy among us humans. As our first step we seek for mates of our opposite polarity or sex. Then we seek to establish groups for certain purposes. The intelligence of the atoms reveals a great secret.

Some have said that there are no hierarchies among the atoms. I have presented much greater proof that there is than anyone else has presented otherwise.

The basic evidence against: Science does not teach such a thing.

The basic evidence for: Science has not disproved my teachings and observation supports it.

But my main point of evidence is this: All known and understood structures of a complex order are created through a hierarchical endeavor. I have challenged all out there to show me even one exception and none has come forth. How can a logical person call me wrong on this point when everything we have seen verifies hierarchy without even one exception?

Even elementary metaphysical students believe the maxim “as above, so below.” For instance in the larger world we have planets circling around a sun and in the tiny world we have electrons circling around a nucleus.

In the larger world all known organized creations such as a building, a car or a bridge is created by hierarchies with intelligent direction. Since this is true among what we see with our eyes what reason do we have to believe that it is much different with the tiny intelligences which are also a part of God?

Some have said that in the New Age we will have no hierarchies. Instead, everyone will know what to do because of some direct communication with God. Most people I know of that believe this way have not been able to get along in this type of harmony with even one other human being on this planet let along thousands or millions of them.

Do such persons think that in the new age that each city and state will just run by itself? That there will be no equivalent to a mayor or council? That roads will be built just because several thousand people wake up one morning and all say to themselves in unison: “I don’t think I’ll go fishing today. I think I’ll go build a road.”

Another person wakes up another morning and says: “I’m going to this vacant building on State Street and start a newspaper.” Then the fellow goes there and meets a hundred others that were given the same idea by God. Then they all roll up their sleeves and go to work. Of course, they have no problem on controversial issues. They do not need an editor or publisher to guide anyone because they are all conservative or liberal or whatever sameness that we are supposed to be there.

This is, of course, nonsense to anyone who will think about it for over three seconds. No orderly structure has ever been made by a group effort without a hierarchy and none ever will in our foreseeable future. When the time comes that we will not need hierarchies we will not need form.

Think about it. The more complex the project the greater need for hierarchy. It took thousands of hierarchical units to send a man to the moon, but it may just take several to run a small business.

I will guarantee you this. When we send a spaceship to Mars and later to Jupiter there will be a hierarchy of leaders, teachers and governors that will create the organization necessary to do it.

Does anyone out there really believe we will go to Mars because about 50,000 people will feel good about accomplishing it at the time? Even if such a miracle happened do you really think that everyone would “just know” their place and job without leadership? I think you would find that the nitty-gritty boring work would be avoided by at least 49,000 who would be lining up to do the fun part of the work.

It is amazing to me that anyone would question the need for hierarchy, leaders and teachers. There is not even the slightest evidence that civilization of any degree is possible without them.

I can understand that we free thinkers do not like to be bossed around and many of us have a reluctance to obey any rules of any kind. We also like to think we can just dip within and learn everything we need to know. Then we all like to think that we are just as smart or as good as the next guy. This is all well and good, but if our desire to be an island of independence separates us from reality then our progression will come to a standstill.

I think that those who resist the idea of hierarchy are really not against hierarchy so much, as they do not like overreaching authority over their lives. I join with them in this idea as there are positive and negative hierarchies. A positive one functions to get the job done, but a negative one serves the desire of the ego and those involved seek for personal power and glory.

We are all anxious to reach union, but we must stay in touch with the real world along the way. There is nothing more pathetic than he who is in hell, but thinks he is in heaven. He neither learns through his pain nor seeks a greater joy. He who has found his true point on the path senses a greater happiness on the horizon.

A Reincarnation of Jesus?

A Reincarnation of Jesus?

Thought I would make a few comments on Dr. Dahesh (whose real name was Salim Moussa El-Achi) who is claimed to be the 20th incarnation of the Christ and has been discussed here for a while.

A seeker’s first thought may be to consider him a charlatan. But then when you read the list of miracles he is purported to have performed one has to immediately take him more seriously than the majority of others out there who are claiming to be Christ. Most such claimants have little, but a big ego to back up their words.

His followers claim he is like Christ because of his miracles, but they neglect to examine the areas where he is not like the Master.

Here are some:

[1] Initiation. Christ initiated a movement and teaching that attracted billions of followers. Dahesh has only 40,000 worldwide.

Of course, it is remotely possible that he could accumulate a large following over a period of time.

[2] It looks like the main thing he has going for him is his attested miracles. As far as I can tell there are no groundbreaking teachings or works like those presented by Jesus which are necessary to create great change or attract a large following.

[3] Jesus taught his disciples how to make a spiritual connection so they could perform the same miracles that he did. There seems to be no record of followers performing miracles like Dahesh did.

[4] Dahesh was apparently quite wealthy and gathered millions of dollar’s worth of art and additional millions of dollar’s worth of books to the 250,000 volumes in his private library.

I think art is an important part of society, but it seems odd that a Christ figure would spend so much money collecting it.

[5] He is called a Doctor even though he has only about a year for formal education. I cannot find an explanation for this.

[6] The followers of Christ were aggressive in taking the Masters message to the world and presenting teachings without cost. Even though Dahesh wrote 150 books I can’t find one for sale at Amazon and I can’t find a way to order any of his books that are published. You’d think they’d publish a couple of his books on the web and make them available for download.

[7] Suppose you do think he was an incarnation of Christ, what then? There is no plan of action outside of suggesting we accept him as a Christ figure. Seems kind of an odd legacy for a master.

[8] He died at the age of 75 of a heart attack. You’d think a Christ figure would live to be at least 100 before he would die of natural causes.

Conclusion:

It is possible he was closely linked to a Master for he did seem to be a benevolent person as a whole and did seem to perform some miracles. It is even possible he was an incarnation of a master, but he has not had the impact on the world that one would expect from the coming of Christ.

It is predicted a religion will be formed around him. We’ll see what happens then.

In response to the above I received some comment from a Dahesh follower. We’ll just call him DF

DF: “When we trust only ‘reason,’ our brains can fail us, as yours did you.”

JJ: No one is talking about trusting “only reason,” but since all truth from God is reasonable then to abnegate reason is foolish indeed.

DF: “For example, here is where your arguments fall apart…completely. I’m being more than kind to you.”

JJ: And where is this kindness representative of a follower of Christ? I see no evidence of it here.

  1. “Actually, the number of followers is more like 4,000 than 40,000. At His death, Jesus had maybe 120 followers. By 100 A.D., most historians and scholars estimate that Jesus had somewhere between 5000 and 10,000. Your argument fails, because, to compare Jesus to Dahesh, one must wait for 2,000 years to see how many followers Dahesh has, otherwise, it is not a honest comparison.”

JJ: I left open the possibility that he could accumulate a large following over a period of time.

In a single day, the day of Pentecost, the Church added 3000 to their group and you’re telling me that in another 70 years they may have added only 2000 more? I don’t think so. The apostles went to many lands and converted many thousands shortly thereafter.

In addition to this Dr.Dahesh gathered disciples from the age of 20 to 75, a period of 55 years compared to three years for Jesus. If Jesus had 55 years to teach in Jerusalem he would have had many more than 120 devout followers at his crucifixion. In fact he had thousands of casual followers beforehand, but all but a few were dispirited by his apparent death.

It has been about 90 years since Dahesh began teaching. With the advantages of modern communications, you would think a Christ figure would have made in this day as much progress as did the Christians within the same period with none of our technology.

Concerning point two about the miracles he writes: “Groundbreaking teachers? I have NO idea what you mean by this argument. It is completely nonsensical.”

JJ: I said “teachings” not teachers. Buddha gave the groundbreaking teaching of the Middle Way, Jesus gave groundbreaking teachings on love and kindness. Both of these relied on the students seeing the principle behind the teaching. Where is the groundbreaking teaching from Dahesh, which always comes from a Christ figure? He does give us some interesting data about life in the galaxy but where does he expand on a principle that can be grasped by the human heart?

Concerning point three he insists that Dahesh followers have performed lots of miracles.

I can’t find any testimony of this on any of the websites. Jesus told his disciples that they would do even “greater things” than he did and indeed they performed many mighty miracles and works that attracted even more attention than their Master. Where are the followers who have power equal to Dahesh?

If all it takes is to follow the ceremony of Ramz then the followers should be able to create miracles as impressive as Dahesh, such as physically producing tomorrow’s newspaper. Anyone done anything like that?

Are the details of performing the Ramz available to the public or is it passed down in person? I would like more information on it if it is available.

On point four he insists that it is perfectly reasonable to assume that a reincarnated Jesus would collect expensive art.

But he didn’t answer my question. Jesus told people who were rich in possessions, such as art, to sell them and give the money to the poor. I realize we live in different times and a different approach may be needed, but he did say our heart is where our treasure is and fine art is a fairly worldly treasure compared with other things that could be pursued – such as helping the downtrodden, or even paying scholars to translate and publish his books.

Concerning point five where I expressed  skepticism over Danesh calling  himself a doctor he says: “He was granted an honorary doctorate by the Sage Institute of Paris (now defunct) in 1930.”

Thanks for the explanation. I see from the web his doctorate was given in psychism. I suspect that such a doctorate was something like these mail order degrees we see so much of. Jesus was only called Rabbi once in the scriptures and there is no evidence he requested to be called such. He discouraged the use of titles.

Concerning point six where I question why none of his 150 books are available to purchase on Amazon he says: “The fact that Dahesh has no books on Amazon mean He can’t be Jesus reincarnated? What sort of ABSURD argument is this?”

It is not absurd at all. Three years after Jesus began his ministry in Jerusalem he sent his followers into all the world. Now, 90 years after Dahesh began his, he doesn’t even have a book on Amazon. Doesn’t seem to be following the Jesus pattern of promotion.

Point Seven: Suppose you do think he was an incarnation of Christ, what then? There is no plan of action outside of suggesting we accept him as a Christ figure. Seems kind of an odd legacy for a master.

DF: “If we think He is the incarnation of Christ what then? Declare oneself a Daheshist and begin to spread His message, via the Internet at first. That is what. Learn the Ramz ritual, to help others heal.”

JJ: But how can one become a Daheshist if he can’t even read the required book that he is to promise to live by to become a member? Like I said there seems to be no plan of action and the plan of salvation is merely a repetition of that which was already taught by Jesus.

And is the Ramz ritual available to learn?

Point Eight: He died at the age of 75 of a heart attack. You’d think a Christ figure would live to be at least 100 before he would die of natural causes.

DH: “Jesus would have lived to 100 had He re-incarnated? Where did you get that? All physical bodies die.”

JJ: When Jesus approached death he said “Father, receive my spirit” and gave up the ghost. You would think that Dahiesh correspondingly would have just voluntarily left his body rather than to be forcibly taken with a heart attack.

It also does not make sense that he would die after an only average lifespan when much less enlightened souls have lived much longer though their own wisdom. Imagine, if he could create the miracle of living to 150 years or more. Then people would really pay attention.

I have a couple questions for you.

Why do you believe that Dahesh is the coming of Christ? Is it reason alone or something else? If it is reason then what is the reason?

I read in Dahesh literature that he never made the proclamation of the prophesied false messiah of saying “I am Christ.” What then makes followers think he is Christ?

It is said that Dahesh is the 20th incarnation of Jesus. How many of the other 19 besides Dahesh are given? It is said he was Buddha, but Buddha lived before Christ and Jesus was supposed to be reborn 23 additional times after the first century.

The next response I received was as follows:

  “Asshole,

  “Your ‘brains’ (had you any in the first place fool) fell out LONG time ago!

  “You’re an idiot beyond comprehension, your reasons were that of a retard. Oops, I’ve just insulted the retards!”

Wow. You’d think I had just arrived from the gates of hell foaming at the mouth with insults to deserve a response like this. I’ll tell you this. If I were Christ and had this guy representing me, I’d be embarrassed and wouldn’t want to settle in the Kingdom of God with his kind.

If he treats a sincere seeker in this manner what would be his response to someone making a mean-spirited attack?

He’d probably go into apoplectic shock.

Tribes, Atoms and Decision

Tribes, Atoms and Decision

A reader made some comments indicating that the Native Americans lived in a virtual utopia with no leadership being necessary. This was my response.

Where do you get the idea that they did not have leaders? There were a handful of wandering nomads that were fairly leaderless, but that was because there was virtually no one to lead. Theses nomads also accomplished little of value except wandering the countryside and eking out survival.

Some tribes had a fairly loose hierarchy and some had a very structured one. Some leaders were very dictatorial and others were democratic. In fact, it is said that the founders of our nation were inspired by some of the Indian hierarchical structures. Many Indian tribes had a very hierarchical priesthood also, others were less hierarchical like the Shamans, but they were still looked upon as teachers and leaders in spiritual affairs.

The Natives are a great example of hierarchy producing order. The nomads had minimal hierarchy and the only thing they accomplished was survival. The Incas and Mayas had strong hierarchy and built a significant civilization.

You mention “the chiefs counseled with the people and followed their will.” That is very close to the principle governing the hierarchy of light. Even including the American Indians, we do not have an example in recorded history of the government of the hierarchy of light which is to come. There have been a number of brave souls who have sought to manifest it, but all have failed. In another way of looking at it there is no real failure because the seeds of the brotherhood of light have been planted in many individuals who roam this earth and the day will come when they will be gathered again.

The utopia you speak of describes mankind in a state corresponding to sleep. When your body is asleep there are no decisions that need to be made for it. This utopia or state of sleep that you describe can only occur when humanity has satisfied its desires. As long as we as a people have group desires that need fulfilled then there will be hierarchy and leaders to stimulate progression. Your utopian sleep is millions of years in the future and is not practical for the next step for humanity. There are not two people in a million capable of such unity. Perhaps when you get married you will understand the difficulty.

I don’t expect you to believe anything I say just because I say it. Your soul has the ability to verify all truth. That which I cannot prove to you with black and white facts can be verified by your soul, but you have to bypass all the programming of your body, mind and emotions to reach the Presence.

You say that I am too much in the male energy. That is all right because I am a male and am supposed to be more male than female. You, on the other hand, also have a lot of male energy and this may make you seem out of balance for a female. Balance is necessary for soul contact. The male energy is sending and the female is receiving. I would suggest that you try an experiment and receive from me just to see how it feels.

Permanent Atoms

The dominate atom is the initiating atom of an atomic structure. It is the first one that started a particular atomic organization.

Humans are correspondences of atoms. It is not a coincidence that the first man was called Adam (Atom). Buddha was the initiating Adam of Buddhism. Jesus of Christianity and so on. However atoms of the atomic world are much more advanced in their sphere than we are in ours and hold the key for the next great evolutionary step for mankind.

There is a “permanent Atom” in your physical body that survives death. You will take it with you into your next life and in it is the coding of every physical body you have ever had. Your soul reprograms it to create your next body which will hopefully be superior to the last one. You keep this permanent atom with you until you overcome death. Your whole body is a hierarchy of atoms and molecules with the permanent atom at its head recreating the great power of organization necessary to create your physical structure. This feat is greater than we can imagine.

On balance: The whole universe is created by being out of balance. All energy is out of balance and seeking balance. When perfect balance is obtained the form disappears and goes back to its source. The fact that we are even here is evidence that we are out of balance to some degree. We reach new degrees of balance until we go back to our pure essence.

The Masters are able to walk through walls because they have learned the principle of balance.

 

The Power of the Gods

“For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good from evil.” (Genesis 3:5)

Decision is the power of the Gods, but if this is hidden from us and we don’t think we have permission to decide then the power that is in us is hidden by illusion. If our power is hidden then the antichrist powers [of outer unjust authority] make all important decisions for us.

Readers may find it of interest that the Judges in the Old Testament were called Gods by Moses. Moses was also called a God. In most cases this is mistranslated in today’s Bibles, but it is in black-and-white in the Hebrew. Those who made decisions and assumed power to do so had the power of the Gods, so they were called Gods.

Decision is the key to the door that opens to all worlds, even immortality.

Contemplate the part of you that actually decides and you can feel that link between you and God. It uses your bodies but it is not your bodies.

If our consciousness is polarized in the lower worlds many decisions will bring some pain, but in the end that is not bad. We came here for the experience and we can only go through the experience through the power of decision. Those who can’t decide remain still. The best decision is that which pushes us forward somewhere where we are forced to look at a different horizon.

The phrase “I AM THAT I AM” originally comes from the Bible. After wandering in the desert herding sheep for forty years Moses did a lot of contemplating about God and what he would ask him if he should ever get a chance to talk to Him. When he finally got his big chance — what did he ask?

He asked God for His name.

Why?

Because in those days the name revealed something about the destiny or the character of a man or woman. It still does today but on a more subconscious level.

To this great question that Moses spent decades contemplating, the answer was “I AM that I AM.”

Or was it?

Think about it. This statement makes no sense at all and all the scholars in the world have not shed any light on it — Neither has any channeling or New Age Book even though many use the phrase on a regular basis.

The reason it does not make sense as quoted is because it was a mistranslation.

What God really said to Moses was:

  “I AM BECOMING that which I DECIDE TO BECOME. Go tell Israel that HE WHO IS BECOMING has sent you.”

For us to cross the threshold to the kingdom of God we must become whatever it is that we decide to become. Fortunately, in the end of time we all make the right decision.

A teacher once wrote: “Without decision there is no life.” What does this mean and what is the greatest hurtle we have to cross to fully use the power of decision?

I care not what others think of what I do, but I care very much about what I think of what I do. That is character! —Theodore Roosevelt

Truth and Conspiracy

Truth and Conspiracy

Some readers have accused me of teaching from the ego

The problem here is that one who teaches through the reasoning of the mind is often perceived as an illusionary threat by one who has his decisions based in the emotions only. The mind will often destroy emotional conclusions and such a thought form created by the emotions will fight to maintain its life. When the thought form approaches the light that will destroy it, it either seeks to destroy the light or it flees from it.

On the other hand, the mind is also unnerved when confronted with Spirit. Mind is not the ultimate source of truth and eventually must reach numerous dead ends that can only be crossed by revelation from Spirit or the Higher Self. These revelations will make sense to mind and feel right to emotion, but mind would not have concluded them by itself and emotion would not have felt it. Mind will also fight the higher light until it is forced by circumstances to confront it. At that time many illusionary thought forms are painfully shattered.

In various New Age forums I have noticed this attitude: “Nobody better try and influence me to change so you had better change and conform so I do not feel this influence from you.”

Isn’t it obvious that this attitude is a reflection of an inner flaw?

It may be true that the Piscean Age religions did put unjust influences on people to conform and there seems to be some left-over fears from this. But consider this. We now live in an age and area of the planet where no one has unjust power over our thoughts and beliefs. No one has power to take our lives if we do not cry “Caesar!” or “Holy Mary!” Any fear or even irritation we have of any one trying to change us is not based on reality but is usually based on an inner insecurity with our own beliefs and foundations.

There should be complete tolerance especially in an unthreatening environment such as these on line services. We are completely free to ignore any statement that we disagree with or even dislike.

Even so I am completely supportive for expressing whatever feelings we have no matter how negative. The only way to deal with them at times is to get them out on the table. But when they are on the table one must not run but face up to whatever results they lead towards.

I’ve had a number of people indicate to me that truth is relative and quote “A Course in Miracles” (ACIM) to substantiate that. In my view this shows a great misunderstanding of the Course. I know that the relative truth thing is a standard buzz word for New Age thought, but ACIM just doesn’t seem to support this idea.

Even in the introduction on the very first page we read:

  “This is a course in miracles. It is a required course. Only the time you take it is voluntary.”

It is not a relative thing that we take the course. It is required.

Why is it required?

The answer is that it contains several absolute truths that we must learn before we can obtain liberation.

ACIM states point blank that there are several laws that create chaos, illusion and separation. The first is:

“The truth is different for everyone.” T-23.II.2

It amazes me that many people who claim to believe ACIM also believe in relative truth. The whole purpose of the Course is to lead us to several important absolute truths.

The second law of chaos is that “Each one must sin and therefore deserves attack and death. This principle is closely related to the first,” T-23.II.4 (the truth is different).

The Course also states that:

“The truth is true, and nothing else is true.” W-pI.152.3

Those who want to continue in the illusion have great resistance to this core teaching, but eventually illusion must give way to reality and all souls will be one in the truth.

More Conspiracy Theory

Let’s look at an overview of that which conspiracy theorists believe about 911.

First, they believe that Bush was either behind the planning or a major player.

On the other hand, most of these same individuals believe he is the dumbest president in our history.

You can’t have it both ways. If Bush had anything to do with pulling this off then he was an evil genius beyond anything that Hitler pulled off. Yet even his most adamant supporters do not see him as a genius and his enemies would never admit this, even if he were the grandmaster of 911.

If Bush was a player then so was Cheney and other high ups in the administration, yet no one is talking and there’s no smoking gun leading back to them.

So here’s the situation they present. Bush, the dumbest president in history, was a major player in a conspiracy that involved the cooperation of thousands of participants and pulled off the most infamous disaster in history and never got caught. Thousands of people are pointing fingers at him trying to nail him but he is outsmarting them all, great genius that he is.

Here’s the story in a nutshell. Bush and Cheney in cooperation with invisible power brokers and the military arranged the hijacking of four planes. They were flights 93, 77, 175 and 11. Somehow after they took off, they were mysteriously snatched out of the skies and taken to an undisclosed location. At this location the passengers were killed and disposed. The planes were also destroyed, obviously completely pulverized that very day to prevent any recognizable piece from being later used as evidence to the crime.

This was an ingenious accomplishment on the part of Bush and other conspirators when you take into account the whistle blowers at minor atrocities such as Abu Ghraib. 911 was much bigger than making men perform tricks while naked.

Just imagine being in the military and designated as one of those disposing of the passengers. Four planes land and all the hundreds of passengers and unloaded are lined up to be shot. You and dozens of others are to kill them and dispose of the bodies. Isn’t it amazing that not one of them has anonymously spoken to the press?

After the planes were snatched out of the air an amazing thing occurred. They were replaced by missiles or special pods created by the government. These missiles were painted and fixed up to look like planes but were not planes. These missiles had no passengers on board but were specially designed to accomplish the evil deed.

They had to make it appear that the passengers were still on board to the end so they faked phone calls made from passengers to loved ones on the ground. All the dozens loved ones involved were fooled into thinking they were talking to the real person because the government somehow knew in advance who was going to be on each plane and duplicated the correct voices in advance. Then using voice technology conspirators called the loved ones and fooled them into thinking they were talking to their son, husband, wife, etc. Conspiracy people do not even ask how a bungling bureaucracy can even manage to successfully retrieve the phone numbers of the correct loved ones to call let alone make them think a computer voice is a family member.

I don’t know about you, but if a computer called me pretending to be my wife I think I could tell if I were talking to the real thing.

The missiles then went about to accomplish their evil mission. The first was substituted for Flight 93 and crashed in a field in Pennsylvania.

What was that about? I know if I were a conspirator the last thing I would do is to go through all that trouble just to crash a missile in a field. Strange.

The second, the substitute for Flight 77, crashed into the Pentagon. What was that about? The military attacking itself? Oh, yeah. That was just to remove suspicion. That really worked didn’t it? Even though dozens of people saw a plane, some even close enough to see the passengers, they were fooled. It was really a missile.

The other two missiles, which replaced Flights 175 and 11, plowed into the two Twin Towers buildings. Even though millions of people saw the video of this, what they saw were not planes, but missiles or specially built pods that landed in just the right places to not interfere with the planned explosive demolition.

Explosive demolition?

Yes, and this is the amazing part. The conspiracy people believe that the Twin Towers and WTC 7 were brought down by a controlled demolition by the use of planted explosives. Even though the largest demolition by explosives in history has been just over 20 stories the conspirators decided to go for the Guinness Book of World Records. They increased that record not twice, or four times, but over five times and did it simultaneously with not one building but two along with a smaller recording-breaking building on the side.

When you compare the possibility of this scenario with the possibility of some anomalies occurring there is no comparison.

The situation is like that of the engineer who mathematically proved that the bumble bee cannot fly. But who are you going to believe when you see the bumble bee actually flies? Obviously, something was wrong in the engineer’s calculations.

When you look at what had to have been done to pull of the 9/11 conspiracy as presented the comparison is like actually watching a bumble bee fly verses the engineer who says he cannot fly.

In the end reality wins out and when all the facts are revealed everything makes sense.

Sometimes a big event is basically more what it appears to be rather than what conspiracy theory say it is.

That is not to say that there are no true conspiracies. For instance, I believe there was one around the murder of JFK because the evidence does support it in my view. Then there may be details around the 9/11 disaster that are hidden, but it is obvious to me that the standard conspiracy idea about it is not logical.

How many New Agers does it take to screw in a light bulb?
Answer: Four. One to screw it in and three to experience it.

Who Am I?

Who Am I?

I have made several statements about ourselves and our origin.

First. We are not our physical, emotional, or mental selves. These are instead called our three vehicles. Our true self uses these vehicles to explore the three lower worlds. Just as you put on a diving suit to explore underwater, so must you acquire the right “equipment” to explore the lower worlds.

In a way we are like the diver who is under the sea with limited oxygen and gets hit on the head and winds up with amnesia. When he sees his reflection, he assumes that the diving suit is himself and that is what he looks like. He must soon rouse himself and remember who he is or he will think the sea is his home and die for lack of oxygen. That would be a pity, for if he knew who and where he was he would know that he needs air and where to get it. But if he remains in deception then death is certain.

Second, I have stated that we as entities are eternal, yet all that has vibration has a beginning and an end. All matter, all form, all energy has vibration which will someday end. Just as when you pluck a guitar string it will not vibrate forever, so does the vibration off all things in the universe eventually run down.

On the other hand, the eternal part of us has no vibration. Everyone thinks that to travel to the various worlds we need to speed up our vibration, but could the opposite be true? Could it be that we need to still vibration instead? The truth is a great secret.

You may ask: “If that eternal part of us has no vibration, no form and no energy then it appears that it would not even exist. How do you explain that?”

The answer is another great mystery, but even mysteries are simple when they are understood.

You as an individual entity consists of a musical chord of four notes at any given point in time and space. Your physical body vibrates on a certain note as well as does your emotions and your mind. Then your soul vibrates on a fourth note. You also play your notes in a certain key. Altogether you incarnate through a very large number of lives and in each life certain notes will change. As your higher self “listens” to the music you play he/she/it will enjoy a piece of music more beautiful than anything we can comprehend here, but the music of your whole self can only be heard from the “Eternal Now,” because in our time frame it takes millions of years to play the piece.

In my journey through time I am playing one symphony for the ears of the One Great Life and in your journey you are playing another and altogether there are endless pieces of music being played for the enjoyment of our Creator. This is the true meaning of the term “Music of the Spheres.”

The playing of a melody is created by vibration, but the actual melody and notes themselves exist independent of vibration and are without beginning and without end.

Let us take a familiar tune by the Beatles — “Yesterday.” We think that it had a beginning when Lennon and McCartney wrote it. But in reality that is not so. Every note that we use to play it on the piano has existed from eternity as well as did the combination of notes that make the melody of “Yesterday” has always been in the mind of God. Vibration of the notes makes us aware of the tune, but the music still exists even when it is not being played. Even at this moment, when no one is playing it, when there is no vibration, the song lives within you and it can be recreated at any living moment.

The melody which is distinctly you has existed in the mind of God from eternity. But when you were given vibration, you received a form manifestation that makes you and others self-aware.

Once the children of God become aware of their melodies the melody is realized to be eternal. Just as no one can destroy the song “Yesterday,” no one can destroy you. Even if this planet were blown up and every piece of music destroyed with it, the song still exists; and somewhere, some time, someplace, a musician will recreate the tune and it will be played again.

You will be played again and again in newer and better versions, worlds without end. You will play until you and your Creator are satisfied. Then you will rest. After that you will play again.

In response to the above a reader asks this:

“Four notes? I thought there were seven notes in all.”

The four notes are predicated on the worlds of form. Three correspond to the physical, astral and mental. The fourth is a synthesis of the three corresponding to the whole personality.

Comments

Attention is an attribute that belongs to the real you. Attention uses your vehicles and is not created by them. Attention is enhanced by the vehicles, however.

A reader uses the word “humble.” That is a word very few use in the New Age community yet it is an attribute one must have to unlock the doors of greater knowledge.

Many who believe themselves to be great and wise are stopped in their tracks when they lose humility. This is what is meant by “the first shall be last and the last first.”

Those who are the most intelligent are “the first.” But then when they believe no one can teach them they stop learning and after a period of time sink to great ignorance and become “the last.” Many who are the least in intelligence seek in humility to learn wherever there is knowledge and advance from “the last” to “the first.”

Then there is the rare person in the third category. He or she stays humble in the midst of glory and ends the cycle of first and last and finds the way home.

God help those who do not help themselves. —Wilson Mizner

Seeing What Is Not There

Seeing What Is Not There

One day a large meteor fell from the sky and hit the city of Casper Wyoming with great force.

It was completely destroyed.

Never in recorded history had such an event of destruction been witnessed by the civilized world.

There was virtually no warning for the meteor seemed to come out of nowhere. A few astronomers recorded it a few hours before the event and some tried to get a warning through to the government, but because of bureaucratic buffoonery none of the residents of Casper had any warning at all.

The media covered the event 24/7 for the next couple weeks. Finally, after the shock died down and the nation put itself back together people went back to their normal lives.

The one thing different though was the formation of an international commission organized by the nations of the world to come up with reasons why, with our technology, we were caught off guard and recommendations for an organization to prevent such an accident in the future.

The commission found three amateur astronomers who claimed to have seen the meteor up to three weeks before it hit but there was amazing little warning of such a major disaster.

This smelled bad to a number of people of varied background as they began to wonder if there was some type of cover-up. Another thing that bothered them was that the whole destroyed city of Casper had a military border around it and no one seemed to be able to get through.

After a few weeks a number of conspiracy theories began to surface. The most popular ran like this:

There was no meteor. There was no real proof that one even existed. Instead, our own government destroyed Casper with an atomic bomb sent by a missile. There are witnesses and some bad film of something coming out of the skies but a careful screening of the witnesses and film seem to reveal that it was a rocket and not a meteor at all.

Some asked why in the world would the government want to destroy Casper.

The reply was that there were two reasons. First on the date it hit there was a large conference of environmentalists who were creating a problem for many in the government. All of these were conveniently eliminated.

Secondly, the nations of the world poured many billions of dollars into a project to scan the skies and destroy any meteor like this before it hits us again. It was believed that those who benefited from this money were in on the conspiracy to destroy Casper. The President’s second cousin was the president of an optics company who received major anti-meteor funding. This looked very suspicious to them. In addition, a number of high government officials had stock in companies that would benefit.

Finally, a conspiracy theorist sneaked through the barrier with a Geiger counter and investigated the wasteland. His suspicions were confirmed when he registered a high degree of radioactivity.

The military found him and locked him in a decontamination chamber. After several days of being checked out by doctors they let him go.

He went right to the media and told all who would listen his story. He had proof an atomic bomb, not a meteor destroyed Casper and the military obviously knew about the radiation because they put him through a decontamination process. He said there needs to be a major investigation and the President and his ilk must be prosecuted and removed.

Polls began to show that about a third of the population believed some type of conspiracy was taking place and faith in the president and military sank to an all-time low.

What was the real truth?

The truth was a meteor did destroy Casper just as the experts said. The meteor contained a large amount of uranium and also uncovered some that was below the surface of Casper so there was quite a bit of radioactivity on the remains.

The military bureaucracy wanted to thoroughly investigate the makeup of the meteor and the cause of the radioactivity before they released the details.

There was no conspiracy, but when a unique event occurs, that has never been recorded in our history, a number of seemingly unexplainable anomalies occur.

We find what we are looking for.

Absolutely True

A Course in Miracles student posted attempting to correct me stating that I was wrong saying that truth is absolute. He maintains that truth is relative and quoted this from the Course:

 “The truth is true. Nothing else matters, nothing else is real, and everything beside it is not there. Let me make the one distinction for you that you cannot make, but need to learn. Your faith in nothing is deceiving you….” T-14.II.3

You say the truth is relative, but I find that teaching nowhere in ACIM or in life. Instead, I find that statement based in illusion. It is the “faith in nothing” that the course teaches.

Here is a quote that affirms that truth is absolute:

“For truth is true, and nothing else is true. There is no opposite to choose instead. There is no contradiction to the truth.” W-pI.138.4

Then it says this comparing the idea of relative truth to chaos:

“The first chaotic law is that the truth is different for everyone.” T-23.II.2.

There is nothing relative about the statement “My mind is a part of God’s. I am very holy.” It is absolute truth that you are a part of God and so am I just like it is an absolute truth that a wheel is part of a car.

If I am happy, I may say absolutely that I am “very” happy. This would be true and nothing else would be true in that instant. “I am very holy” is a very absolute truth about you and me when we see through the eyes of the Holy Spirit. If we do not see it, it is still absolutely true.

You ask: “Does absolute truth see you as separate from me?” The answer is yes and no. We are parts of the body of God just like the various parts of our body. My mouth may say “I am Joseph” or it may say “I am the mouth.” Both are absolutely true. But the whole absolute truth is that the mouth is a part of the whole and that one part of the whole is affected by every other part.

The answer to your question is that when I look at the wholeness (or holiness) of God you are not separate from me, but if I look at the part then I am separate. This makes what I see relative to my perception, but does not make any truth relative. Truth never changes, only our perception does.

I can’t believe that you are a student of ACIM and have not grasped one of its basic teachings about the truth.

You also state “truth has to do with the heart not the head.”

ACIM teaches as much about the importance of the mind as it does about the heart. They are both two parts of a great whole. Using the heart alone to find truth is like one hand clapping. It doesn’t happen and as the Course states:

“This is a course in mind training.” T-1.VII.4

Many times it stresses the importance of mind:

“If I did not think I would not exist, because life is thought.” W-pI.54.2.

It appears to me that there is some fear in you about using the mind. I think you should examine this part of yourself that avoids the inner conflicts the mind can arouse. If the mind is guided by the Holy Spirit then the conflict may arise in others when truth is presented, but not in the presenter.

If you have learned the basics of ACIM you will not feel attacked by this but edified. My words are not as strong as the course itself.

“Truth is ever to be found in simplicity, and not in the multiplicity and confusion of things”. – Isaac Newton.

The Mystery of Purpose

The Mystery of Purpose

Purpose is the initiating energy and has no duality, but its vibration creates the illusion of duality.

Purpose is the initiating energy and is eternal. It is different from intent or having an objective. That which you intend will have a beginning and an end as well as that which you will and the two energies are thus under the influence of vibration as well as time.

Eternal Purpose is not the same as objective. An objective has a beginning and an end but Purpose exists in timelessness. An objective which is in alignment with Purpose is part of an eternal chain of events.

Purpose begins in timelessness, passes through every atom in time and returns to timelessness again which is the same as saying it has no beginning or end.

First comes Purpose. It must exist before there can be Will or intent. Without Purpose there can be no will to do anything. Where ever there is a Will the question is — what is the Life willing to do? The answer is to fulfill Purpose.

Aligned with Will and Purpose is Power. When the Life has Purpose and perceives Power to fulfill that Purpose then the energy of Will directs that Power and we have the creation of vibration.

Actually, vibration exists between two eternities so it has no end but all the forms vibration takes has beginning and end.

When Will-Power-Purpose are realized to some degree then intention comes into existence. There has to be some sort of self-identity to have intention.

The aspects of Will-Power-Purpose have many correspondences. I have also called them Light-Love-Purpose.

Purpose has no vibration because it is the midway point between the points of the wavelength. Therefore, it cannot be two, but is only one. It is the point between “land and water that is neither wet nor dry.” It is the place where “magic is wrought.”

Life extension can come through intent, but immortality can only come through aligning with Purpose which links us up with lives much greater than ourselves who have “obtained the resurrection” and can channel the power of re-creation down to us.

Purpose takes one out of the influence of the “rolling force.”

The word “faith” is not really a belief but it is a state of mind that is aligned with Purpose that can override all the influences on the physical world even to the production of great miracles including the overcoming of death.

A full explanation of Purpose has not been given to mankind, but can be sensed through contemplation.

There are a basic set of principles we all must eventually learn, but we all will have a different experience in reaching the end of the path. That different experience could be called a different path. My point is that technically we all wind up learning the same lessons just as you mentioned in the martial arts.

Doing things by the force of will does have its limitations. Let me explain. If you will for something to happen and it interferes with the will of two other people whose combination of two wills is stronger than your one, then the power of the two wills will overcome your one. This is the reason a successful politician must tune into the will of the masses. Even a Hitler must keep public opinion on his side.

In many cases it is impossible for two opposing wills to have their way. They will often diffuse each other.

The true path to power is to tune into the Power of Purpose the One Great Life has in store for this planet and then become an agent of His Power. In this case a person is not operating in the power of his “little will” but of a power that is a fiat accompli — a will that must be fulfilled.

Compare your will to the Planetary Logos, for instance, with a germ in your body to your own. As long as that germ does not interfere with your larger will it is free to do as it pleases, but the moment one starts to put you at dis-ease you will then take strong medicine to stop it.

A reader brought up the idea that the real Jesus escaped crucifixion and another disciple took his place, similar to Islamic belief.

There were two entities involved in the crucifixion and resurrection, but I maintain it was quite a bit different than this. See my previous writings on the overshadowing.

Everyone has a purpose in life. Perhaps yours is watching television. David Letterman (1947 – )

Imperfect Initiates

Imperfect Initiates

There has been speculation that Barack Obama may be an initiate so I thought I would make a few comments. Identifying initiates is a tricky thing. For one thing, many expect an initiate to be near perfect, or at least have a similar belief system to themselves. In the past I have identified George W. Bush as a second degree initiate, and some who dislike Bush thought that this just couldn’t be.

Why did they think this?

Most likely because they strongly disagreed with Bush.

I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again. First and second degree initiates are still subject to illusion, and therefore will often strongly agree with each other as well as many non initiates.

These initiates will work in all fields of endeavor and will often promote things that you or I may find repulsive. There are initiates who strongly believe in communism, socialism, free enterprise and some close to anarchy.

The reason the first and second initiates are so diverse is they have not yet mastered illusion and are unable to see all the flaws in their foundation beliefs.

They have, however, reached the stage where they tend to follow the highest they know.

I use the word “tend” rather than giving an absolute because a handful of initiates get frustrated with their slow progress and leave the highest they know behind and gravitate toward the selfish side. As they progress and learn they see through much illusion so unlike average selfish people they pursue selfishness knowingly.

Both selfish and unselfish second-degree initiates eventually reach a point of realization where they are able to make the great choice. They are able to make this choice because they see the two paths in front of them.

One path leads to spiritual light, love and unselfish service.

The other leads to lower light, self-love and selfish service. The wayward one sees that this produces more immediate and easier to attain results.

The first path leads to oneness with Christ and the Brotherhood of Light. The second leads to associations with the brothers of darkness.

Only a third degree initiate or higher who has seen the two paths and chosen correctly can be trusted by the Brotherhood of Light. Lower initiates, even though they be of pure intent, can still be sidetracked by illusion and for a period of time promote the cause of darkness rather than light.

As a whole those who have attained the third degree or higher will sense the Oneness Principle and will rarely disagree, especially where principles are involved. When a principle enters the communication two third degree initiates will see the core of it in a similar fashion though they may disagree in the working out of the details and minutia.

That said let us ponder again on the status of Obama.

An initiate is one who initiates. An initiate for the light initiates things that bring greater freedom and light. An initiate for the dark side initiates works that bring less freedom for the whole.

Has Obama initiated anything? As far as a work of some kind he has done very little and I see no qualifying thing here. (written in 2008 right after the election) He says he will hit the ground running as soon as he takes office and make many changes. Let us see if he creates a work of lasting value that brings greater freedom.

On the other hand, aside from a lack of work he has initiated, a thing of importance was accomplished by being the first black man elected President. In doing this he has set an example for his race which may give them a greater faith in their own accomplishments and bring greater freedom for them.

I would guess that Obama is a second degree initiate around the same level as Bush. The difference in the two is that they both have different illusions in their foundation beliefs, giving them both much different world views.

Even so, I will tell you this. When the two men meet and work out the transfer of power they have and will both feel a rapport with each other. It will feel like they are both part of a brotherhood, but the feeling will not make sense to them, especially to Obama who wants to dislike Bush. Obama will go away from those meetings liking Bush more than he wants to.

Now if they were both third degree initiates they would have more than a sense of brotherhood, but a knowledge. In private they would embrace as brothers and see eye-to-eye on the direction the nation must take.

As an initiate Obama is in a dangerous position as a believer in sharing the wealth by force of law. If he is to choose the path of light, when he arrives at that point, he must work to expand rather than to contract the freedom for the whole. Assisting the black race is not enough, the third-degree initiate must seek the welfare and greater freedom for the whole.

In about two years from now (maybe sooner) we should have a pretty good idea if he will be making additional progress toward the light.

On another  subject a reader says I am working on the assumption that “the spiritual essence has no form.” Not so.

I recognize the form of the spiritual essence as I understand you as defining it.

When you describe the egg shape you seem to be describing the shape of the astral body which circulates around us. Is this correct?

This is the second world of form. Still higher is the mental world. Then there are the four formless above that. Even there we have wombs of circulating energy ready to give birth to words of form.

All the seven worlds have either form or a correspondence to form and thus are filled with vibration. All vibration has a beginning and end.

But what is it that is vibrating? That is the eternal part of ourselves because it truly has no form and is not influenced by time.

To overcome death one does not continue existence in one single form. This would eventually cause retrogression. To overcome death one must learn to still the vibration and go back to our source and then recreate a body (the “Mayavirupa”) by creating the necessary vibration.

The vehicles of human awareness have form, but the power behind the awareness does not and is eternal.

On the other hand, the way you now think, feel and believe will not exist in the far future, but that which causes them will.

A reader mentions forces that are “glue” that hold our bodies together. These forces are basically earthly prana directed by soul energy and is not claimed by me to be eternal or responsible for awareness.

Awareness as we know it is caused by our perception through our vehicles. If we lose our physical body our attention is shifted and our awareness changes. Some people lose most of their awareness because of the strong identity with the body, others have an enhanced awareness because they can let go and adapt to the new circumstances. We are not rendered “something else” any more than falling in love makes us something else. An experience of different energies alters us but does not make us something else. It only seems that way.

“Will” is still an illusion, albeit a very high one and is created by Purpose. Purpose creates awareness; therefore, awareness does have a strong link with the Eternal. Awareness is created and recreated eternally by the eternal ray of Purpose making you an eternal being.

Our “will power” and “intent” can prolong life, but has nothing to do with immortality. The Great Initiator created the power of the wavelength that multiplied itself creating the Illusion that the Creator divided itself. To find immortality we must unite with the other parts of ourselves and tap into the creative Ray of Purpose.

I agree that time is different in the various worlds of vibration, but maintain that it does not exist when Purpose is found, because there is no vibration to cause time or beginning or end. There is only “Eternal Now.”

In response to a comment suggesting there were good and bad rays I said this:

The rays are neither good or evil but all work toward the dominating good. Good dominates because there is intelligence dispersed throughout the universe and intelligence eventually sees the correct path and chooses to follow it. As long as intelligence exists in the world of form, good will dominate. Of course there will be temporary pockets and cycles where evil or error will dominate, but intelligence will eventually see the error and correct it.
