The Law of Love
ImAHebrew writes:
Rom 3:19 Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before Elohim.
20 Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law [is] the knowledge of sin.
Rom 7:7 What shall we say then? [Is] the law sin? Elohim forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet.
8 But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of concupiscence (desire, lust). For without the law sin [was] dead.
9 For I was alive without the law once: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died.
10 And the commandment, which [was ordained] to life, I found [to be] unto death.
11 For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it slew [me].
Is Paul being part of the Beast for saying these things? Is he showing that there is guilt for not doing what the Law commands? And what about James:
JJ
There are two ways to attempt to follow the laws of God. The first is to follow the written word given by some external authority. The second is to go within and run your perspective decisions by your soul which is governed by the Law of Love which is guided by the principle mentioned by Jesus:
“Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.” Matt 22:37-40
Being guided by the law of Love fulfills “all the Law and the prophets.”
Now the problem is that a person has to be spiritually born again to be sensitive enough to the spirit to be successfully guided so the Law of Love is fulfilled. Most people have not reached this level and need an outside authority telling them what to do.
When numerous laws are written in stone rather than the heart they become impossible to live to perfection and thus all will sin and suffer guilt. Even Jesus would have been guilty under the law and suffered guilt if he has allowed himself to be subject to the outer law rather than the inner. His enemies, for instance, often accused him of breaking the law of the Sabbath and blasphemy. And that is the trouble with the outward law. It can be interpreted numerous different ways and even Jesus could be convicted by some outward authority interpreting it.
The perfection of Jesus cane not from obeying the outward law, but the inner Law of Love that fulfills the law. And each time he followed the Law of Love rather than an authority’s interpretation, on hindsight it seems that he was in harmony with the spirit of the law.
Now the outer law says that you should not steal, but suppose that to save your child’s life you would have to steal an item from a business that probably wouldn’t miss it. If the black and white law guided you, you would not steal and let your child die. On the other hand, if you were guided by the Law of Love you would steal the item and save the child’s life.
The law tells us not to lie, but suppose you were in Nazi Germany and the SS knocked on your door looking for your child with the intent to torture and execute him and you could save him by lying to them. If you followed the law strictly then you would tell them where your son was. If you follow the Law of Love you would deceive to save your child.
The scripture you quoted was indeed correct when it said, “by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight.”
Anyone who attempts to strictly follow the black and white law will at some time violate the Law of Love and not be justified by he light of the Spirit.
The problem the guides of the race have had is that the masses cannot understand this in full so they have to be provided with black and white laws. Paul understood this when he wrote:
“Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.” Gal 3:24
Paul was trying to guide those who were ready away from outside authority while still showing respect for the law to assuage those who were not ready to make the leap.
The Beast represents outward unjust, unearned authority that controls our lives. Moses and Jesus represented earned authority, even though they were speaking as a voice on the outside. When a person under the Law of Love comes across such an outward authority he will run their words by their own souls and will follow when they are in harmony. Those unable to do this will attempt to follow the law because it seems to come from God. The law will not guide them perfectly, but it will indeed be a schoolmaster to help them move along the path.
He gives us another scripture:
James 2:8 If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well:
9 But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convicted by the law as transgressors.
10 For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one [point], he is guilty of all.
11 For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law.
Isn’t James saying that IF you transgress the Law (sin), you are guilty, and convicted by the Law as a transgressor? Is James also being part of the Beast here? What are your thoughts on these Scriptures?
JJ
If you are under the outward law and do 99 things right but break one of them then you will suffer guilt and will need to be saved from such guilt. Violating outward authority produces guilt.
The final salvation comes when the seeker replaces the outer law with the inner. Then guilt disappears.
The apostles were earned authorities at that time, and guiding people when you know what you are doing is not being a part of the Beast. The Beast represents unearned unjust authority, someone like Stalin or Hitler or even your doctor who may be leading you in a direction that will do you more harm than good because he knows not what he is doing.
Even though there are a few good earned authorities out there the enlightened must not depend on them without first checking for inner verification.
ImAHebrew continues:
Acts 1:6 When they therefore were come together, they (the Disciples) asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?
7 And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.
Wasn’t Luke 17:21 about WHEN the Kingdom was coming? Wasn’t it coming “suddenly,” as lightning flashing from east to west, and would be in their midst, as a thief coming in the midst of the night? How do you explain the fact that the Disciples would ask such a question, if the Kingdom was “within” them?
JJ
The kingdom is both within and without. Jesus could not establish the kingdom desired by the prophets because it must consist of a gathering of those who are in contact with the Spirit within. When the pure in heart are gathered then he kingdom will also be without.
This is a true point made by the Gospel of Thomas.
Verse three quotes Jesus as saying:
“the Father’s kingdom is within you and it is outside you.”
The outside kingdom is not organized but one day it will be. Jesus would have liked to have organized it but was told the time for such an event was not yet.
As to the coming of the Son of Man as Lightening from the east, this has several levels of interpretation that I do not have time to cover at this time, but it doesn’t mean a physical kingdom will instantly appear.
That was a good reference you gave about James and the rules of meat eating. Allan would just say it is an allegory and the meaning is over our heads. You can never reach any conclusions on disagreements when a person creates an out for himself on every checkmate.

To this Dan wants to know if this level would be the first second or third degree initiate.
The answer is that this escape from the law as well as the Beast is not exactly correlated to a person’s place on the path. Those who have reached the third initiation will naturally move beyond outward control in consciousness, but those who have not achieved this can also do so with a little help. If a seeker learns to focus his attention on the soul and to be guided by the inner voice rather than the outer he can learn to cancel out most outer voices in favor of the inner.
However, he can be trapped in the illusion of outer authority in future lives or unfamiliar situations until he finally dispels illusion by passing the Third Initiation. This is why the aspirant is not fully trusted by the Hierarchy until this point is reached. As long as he can be trapped in illusion of some kind the worker can wind up doing more harm than good for the work if too much is trusted to him.

Here is an email I received:
Memories
Checking out at the store, the young cashier suggested to the older woman, that she should bring her own grocery bags because plastic bags weren’t good for the environment.
The woman apologized and explained, “We didn’t have this green thing back in my earlier days.” The young clerk responded, “That’s our problem today. Your generation did not care enough to save our environment for future generations.”
She was right — our generation didn’t have the green thing in its day.
Back then, we returned milk bottles, soda bottles and beer bottles to the store. The store sent them back to the plant to be washed and sterilized and refilled, so it could use the same bottles over and over. So they really were truly recycled.
Grocery stores bagged our groceries in brown paper bags, that we reused for numerous things, most memorable besides household garbage bags, was the use of brown paper bags as book covers for our schoolbooks. This was to ensure that public property, (the books provided for our use by the school) was not defaced by our scribblings. Then we were able to personalize our books on the brown paper bags. But we didn’t do the green thing back then.
We walked up stairs, because we didn’t have an escalator in every store and office building. We walked to the grocery store and didn’t climb into a 300-horsepower machine every time we had to go two blocks.
Back then, we washed the baby’s diapers because we didn’t have the throwaway kind. We dried clothes on a line, not in an energy-gobbling machine burning up 220 volts — wind and solar power really did dry our clothes back in our early days. Kids got hand-me-down clothes from their brothers or sisters, not always brand-new clothing.
Back then, we had one TV, or radio, in the house — not a TV in every room. And the TV had a small screen the size of a handkerchief (remember them?), not a screen the size of the state of Montana.
In the kitchen, we blended and stirred by hand because we didn’t have electric machines to do everything for us.
When we packaged a fragile item to send in the mail, we used wadded up old newspapers to cushion it, not Styrofoam or plastic bubble wrap.
Back then, we didn’t fire up an engine and burn gasoline just to cut the lawn. We used a push mower that ran on human power. We exercised by working so we didn’t need to go to a health club to run on treadmills that operate on electricity. But she’s right; we didn’t have the green thing back then.
We drank from a fountain when we were thirsty instead of using a cup or a plastic bottle every time we had a drink of water. We refilled writing pens with ink instead of buying a new pen, and we replaced the razor blades in a razor instead of throwing away the whole razor just because the blade got dull. But we didn’t have the green thing back then.
Back then, people took the streetcar or a bus and kids rode their bikes to school or walked instead of turning their moms into a 24-hour taxi service. We had one electrical outlet in a room, not an entire bank of sockets to power a dozen appliances. And we didn’t need a computerized gadget to receive a signal beamed from satellites 23,000 miles out in space in order to find the nearest burger joint.
But isn’t it sad the current generation laments how wasteful we old folks were just because we didn’t have the green thing back then?
Please forward this on to another selfish old person who needs a lesson in conservation from a smart-ass young person.

Higher Contact
Latuwr Writes:
Do you and the Members here believe that you received your enlightenment from the spirit of Yahushua (Jesus), and do you fundamentally differ from Allan in the manner you both acquire your knowledge and understanding, your Divine Manna?
JJ
I can only speak for myself, but quite a few members here think similarly.
To understand my thinking it is essential to realize what I teach about Christ. Christ represents the second aspect of the Godhead. In total the Godhood is the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. In the Ancient Wisdom they are called Power, Love and Active Intelligence. The Father also represents pure Spirit and the Holy Spirit represents matter. The interplay between the two creates soul energy, the creative energy sometimes called the Christ energy.
Outside of some astral contacts, which usually bring distorted information one must focus his consciousness on the soul, or Christ aspect, to open the door to the higher world so real truth can be seen and illusion can be bypassed.
So from this vantage point you could say that Christ reveals higher knowledge to all seekers.
So what about the entity who is Christ?
Each one of the aspects is represented by an entity on each planet to the kingdoms therein. In the Fifth Kingdom, often called the Kingdom of God, there is one who represents the Father another the Christ aspect and a third the Holy Spirit.
The entity who is Christ, or Melchizedek, is separate from Jesus and entered into his body at his baptism. Strangely, on this unusual point Allan and I agree. After the baptism there existed two entities in one body until the mission was complete.
Here are three links to my writing giving a fuller explanation on this:
There are numerous ways to gain higher knowledge. It can be gained from pure reasoning, from your Higher Self or merely accessing the intuitive plane and higher through the soul in cooperation with your Higher Self. I have written quite a bit on this. If you go to freeread.com and search for “soul contact” you will find plenty of material.

If the Holy Spirit represents matter, and the Holy Spirit is female in some way, then is this similar to the Gnostic idea of the female leading us into matter (or something like that)?
JJ
It is more accurate to say that the Holy Spirit is Intelligence in Matter rather than matter itself. In other words, it is the Intelligence that causes matter to organize into existence and create forms, which the end product is physical life including you and me. In a way of looking at it you are correct for we have Father (Spirit), Mother (Matter) and Soul (the Son).
The matter of our current universe is composed of intelligent units that failed to fully evolve into spirit in the last creation and in this one is seeking to respond to the intelligence of the Holy Spirit so they can move forward. The Holy Spirit contains the reservoir of all accumulated knowledge.
***
One2
I hope I don’t end up a failed unit again in this Universe, as it would be good to move on up to higher realms of intelligence.
JJ
It is the matter itself, the basis of the creation of physical form that failed to move into spirit in the past system, not necessarily the entities (like you and me) that use matter as bodies for their work.
One of the purposes of human beings in the universe is to help matter move toward spirit. It is a great achievement for the atoms of matter to make it into the human body and the most spiritual mater of the body is the eye. Eventually all matter will pass through some human being somewhere.
DK tells us that the atomic bomb represented an initiation for matter. He did not explain why, but it is obviously because a certain amount of gross matter was transformed into pure energy, or spirit, and this is the destiny of all matter to move toward spirit. This will take many eons to complete.

Greg:
Does Peter need to focus attention on creating an additional molecule to combine with the one that he is already a member of, or is his role to help others to realize the light and potential of which you shared, and the additional molecules will then be bound to Peter’s and any additional by their magnetic polarity?
JJ
The point to understand is that If Peter is on the earth today he is not a member of any molecule because one does not exist. The molecule created by Christ fell apart after the death of the apostles. The life that vitalized the molecule, of course, did not die and will incarnate into another molecule in the future. If Peter were one of the units of this molecule then he may belong to the same molecular entity as in the past but reincarnated in a different body with different properties. He could just as well participate in a molecule occupied by a different entity though.
Just as you have different elements in each body in each life with different characteristics even so would the molecular life reincarnated have different entities composing its body making for different features and expressions.
In the world of form there is no such thing as perfect balance. The instant perfect balance is reached both sides return to spirit. Matter is created through a slight imbalance of positive and negative energies. Even neutron or an inert gas is not perfectly balanced internally.
To create a molecule that becomes a higher life something close to balance must be achieved. It must be close enough so all participants can see through the eyes of the soul. When many molecules are created the working ones will be stable but not in perfect balance. The slight imbalance will cause them to gravitate toward each other seeking greater balance. Eventually greater life forms will be created closer and closer to perfect balance until they are so finely adjusted that the great universe of matter will return to spirit.
Those are a few things in a nutshell. If you haven’t read the Molecular Relationship yet it looks like Dan has dug out some links for us to use.
Fee free to ask any more questions.

JJ: “Matter is created through a slight imbalance of positive and negative energies.”
Principles of Unification:
(12) I believe that true spiritual principles and facts are in harmony with proven science and all truth no matter where it is discovered. In all situations I seek to know the truth rather than settle for that which is false.
Richard:
The two paragraphs above appear to be inconsistent. Mass, the property of matter that results in the mutual attraction of matter, has been proven to be the result of Higgs fields and the Higgs Particle was discovered experimentally this year at the Large Hadron Collider LHC. The only slight imbalance I am aware of is the slight excess of anti-matter over matter resulting in the elimination of all anti-matter by combining with matter to produce energy.
JJ
First of all the excess is not in anti matter but regular or positive matter. The slight excess of positive matter resulted in the creation of the physical universe. This imbalance permeates down to all matter where any type of duality resides.
There are imbalances all over the place in matter. Even in water you have hydrogen seeking an extra electron from oxygen to achieve greater balance. Every molecule is created through atoms seeking greater balance and every electron seeks a proton to balance it off.
The Higgs particle does not negate anything I have said about the balance of matter.
All form is created by intelligence in matter seeking balance. I believe this is a solid statement that goes beyond scientific theory, but in harmony with all that has been proven to be true,

Modern and Ancient Writings
Good to hear from you again Jim. You have got to be the most active senior citizen I have come across.
You ask:
So, should we accept Allan’s and Church Father’s , or even ANY ancient thoughts or writings, considered “inspired”, or Channeled, or how ever they became transferred from thoughts to paper 2000 -5000 years ago to our current thoughts and writings more inspired than others?
JJ
We shouldn’t accept anything just because of some claim that it is inspired.
It doesn’t matter to me whether the writing is ancient or modern. Neither does it matter if it is claimed to be scripture, or written by the hand of God himself. I use the same process no matter what the claim is. I read it and run it by my own soul which has power to register true principles and truth behind true principles.
The true language of the soul, is not allegory as Allan says, but true principles and when a true principle is touched upon the soul will vibrate and if one pays attention to that vibration he can find all truth and not be deceived.
One of the core principles in the search for truth is the Law of Correspondences and if a writing has ingredients in one area that corresponds to known truth in other areas one can be assured there is truth to be perceived.
Overall, I would say that there is much more truth in modern writings than ancient, but many of them have used ancient writings as part of their foundation so one cannot discount the breakthroughs of the ancient teachers.
There is a lot more distortion, illusion and falsehoods to sift through in modern writings so finding truth is far from being a no-brainer for us.
I would say that the greatest writings from ancient times are the writings of Isaiah, the Book of Revelation and the words of Jesus. Even though some of the words of Jesus may have been touched up a bit they are still the greatest words over spoken. Within these three groups of writings are Eternal Words, words that will not pass away because they support true principles, the language of the soul.
I believe the greatest writings of modern times to be those of Alice A. Bailey. Many true principles are either hinted at or enunciated there. If I found out tomorrow that she just made everything up on a lark, it would not take away one principle that I have gleamed from the writings.
Many modern teachers present themselves as the reincarnation of some great being or a great avatar yet do not introduce one new principle or even expand on an existing one.
***
Johann:
How do you figure that we are in the middle of a big bang?
JJ
It is not this universe that is going through the Big Bang process. Billions of years have elapsed here since our Big Bang.
However there is a universe of universes of which our whole universe is just a small particle. This greater universe is just starting its Big Bang and one second of time in that Big Bang is many billions of years here.
Allan’s bunch keeps complaining I do not teach anything new.
This is just one of hundreds of examples that could be cited that appears nowhere else.
Your comments on the final shape of the universe being like a great eye were thought provoking. A black hole does seem to correspond to an eye.

Sun Water
I like the Zero Water filter because it takes everything out. When everything is taken out I then put select minerals back in and place it in the sun in clear glass gallon jugs. The sun then kills all bacteria and adds life force.
Dan: What minerals/amounts are you adding? Why do you add them to your water, why not just take your minerals separately?
JJ You’ve probably heard of Dr. Emoto who has photographed the crystalline structure of water under different circumstances. He not only discovered that our thoughts and feelings influence the beauty of the crystals formed, but also the composition. Water with some good minerals naturally forms more beautiful crystals than distilled water. The crystal structure of distilled water with thoughts in neutral is rather nebulous and unformed. I therefore made two decisions in relation to my water. The first was to filter out everything in regular tap water. There’s pollution and chemicals in most city water and many of the minerals are in chunks too big to assimilate by the body. Then after everything is taken out I proceed to add life to the water by adding minerals. To a gallon of water I add a dropper full of ionic zinc, selenium, magnesium silver, gold a couple drops of liquid iodine. Then I add a dropper full of a solution containing about 86 minerals from the NOW brand of colloidal minerals. Then I add about a half teaspoon of Celtic sea salt.
Finally I add a half dropper full of 35% food grade hydrogen peroxide. You can read about this here:
I do this to 10 or more one gallon clear glass jugs of water and then place them outside where they will catch the sun’s rays. They need at least four hours of direct sunlight to kill all bacteria, but I usually leave them out for a couple days so they can catch lots of prana and give the minerals time to respond and resonate with the sun. Then when I bring the water in I add a pinch of baking soda. This turns the water alkaline and it is ready for consumption.

Do All Have Souls?
Justin posted an link to an article on the soul and asks:
Is it possible for humans on our planet Earth to lack a soul (or Solar Angel)? Sometimes I wonder whether I have one or not.
The link is a quote from Torkom Saraydarian, a writer I have not heard of before, and he has written 170 books. It looks like he is an interesting and provocative thinker.
Many people sometimes wonder if they have a soul or a Higher Source that can be definitely contacted because they seem to be going through some type of dark night where nothing seems to be there and there appears to be little if any help available from unseen sources.
This doesn’t mean that you do not have a soul or that you are not being observed and assisted from time to time. Often, thoughts, ideas and helpful impulses come not just from ourselves, but are placed there by our souls.
The first few times a seeker consciously registers soul contact he will not be sure if it was his imagination or if some real contact occurred. He must pay attention to that contact and as he increases in sensitivity the contact will be more vibrant until his faith is replaced with knowledge and the link becomes a conscious thing always available.
Yes, Justin, you definitely have a soul and the time will come that you will know this for sure. The key is to always follow the highest you know and in doing this your next step will always be revealed to you. Finally one of those steps will lead to conscious soul contact.
Everyone has a soul, even the worst of humanity. You cannot incarnate without a soul. To incarnate our soul must project a portion of itself into our body. Once incarnated the link is there whether or not the person is aware of it.
The closest thing to a person with no soul is one who consciously chooses the Left Hand Path. This is the path of extreme selfishness and to follow it one must reject all communication with the soul. In doing this the person builds up a barrier of rejection. His soul is still there, but because of the self imposed barrier there is no communication and it is as if he has no soul. This entity is later returned to the Source and reworked and has to start his progression all over.
Few people take this route as most turn around before they reach the point of no return. If you have any love for humanity and any desire to help others besides yourself then the link with your soul is still active.
The soul is sometimes called the Higher Self, but it also has a Higher Self which is the Solar Angel. Solar Angels work to stimulate the thinking and learning of all souls until a high degree of progression is made. Failures from past systems have souls and connections to Solar Angels just as do the newer souls. Whenever any entity reaches a stage where he seeks to serve humanity, Higher Lives will be there to assist him.
The quickest way to get the attention from your soul so that you will know its reality is to lose yourself in the service of humanity. Start with your family and friends and expand from there. Like attracts like. You show love and shortly thereafter the love of your soul will be felt.

The Big Bang Again
First let me clarify. When I casually stated that we are in the middle of the Big Bang of the multiverse I was not referring to any midway point but merely saying we are somewhere between the beginning and the end, I should have said “in the midst of” or “the beginning of” to be more literally accurate.
Johann asks:
Awaken again to this plane of existence? Do you mean the plane of six?
JJ
No. I mean the universe of Seven. We recreate all universes numerous times until we reach the greatest state of perfection possible in the Universe of Twelve.
Grasping all the concepts from the Grand Tour are mind-boggling and it is difficult to absorb the depth of the time, space and scope. Every time the highest universe possible is completed and returned to pralaya we start over again and the Universe of 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 are created again and the lives within awakened on their own plane. When the Universe of Eight in our present evolution is completed we will sleep here and awaken in the new universe, but each of us will be joined by billions of others to participate in a much greater life just as the atoms of our bodies are living things participating in our life. This will be many trillions of years in the future.
Johann:
First the Big Bang of eleven should not even remotely be seen by our scientists so I naturally thought that you meant the Big Bang of our current universe of seven as one of it’s many
incarnations.
JJ
The beginning of our big bang started when the last major round of creation ended with the Universe of Eleven and then started all over to head toward the creation of the Universe of Twelve.
The Last Universe of Eleven existed as a single entity with all universes within it and reflected itself creating the Universe of 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 all over again but with greater perfection. We are now in the midst of the Universe of Seven.
Johann:
Well, here is another contradiction. The universe of 11 has already been perfected and we are in the last cycle of seven before another Great Decision will be made.
JJ
All universes from 11 on down have achieved relative perfection many times. This universe reached the highest perfection possible in a past incarnation, but is now recreated with slightly different ingredients with the goal of reaching a greater perfection and beauty this time.
We are not in the last cycle of seven before another great decision but have many yet to go. The Universe of Twelve has to be perfected before that decision is made. This universe will be reborn many times before we move into the Universe of Eight, let alone that of Twelve.
Contemplating this vastness reminds me of a scripture given to Joseph Smith:
Wherefore, no man can behold all my works, except he behold all my glory; and no man can behold all my glory, and afterwards remain in the flesh on the earth.” Moses 1:5
In other words, if one truly grasped all the works of God it would boggle the mind so much he could not even remain on the physical plane. We see only enough to stimulate the expansion of our consciousness.

Claims of Greatness
Some claim special powers because they can take people into past lives or were a famous person.
I can take most any person off the street and get him to recall what he thinks is a past life. Most people with a little hypnosis or guided meditation can recall past lives.
Here is the problem. A lot of past life recollections are false memories and to find out for sure if they are real a number of tests need to be applied.
Here are some causes of false past life memories:
(A) The subject knew a famous person in the past and would have liked to have been him and identifies with him.
(B) The subject has read about a famous person, would like to be him and picks up a thoughtform on him from the astral plane.
(C) The subject picks up the frequency of a past life other than himself.
(D) The subject just has a good imagination.

Discerning Revelation
Allan actually brings up a good topic for group discussion here. He says:
…when a supposed revelation comes to one person, it means absolutely nothing unless a means is found for that revelation to be received by others who are willing to seek the knowledge.
JJ
So, what do you think? Is this statement true?
Do you have to experience a repeat of John’s vision of the Beast to understand the Beast?
If not, what is the real key to understanding a revelation given to another.
What can you understand and then maybe not understand completely about a true revelation given to another person?
And how about the person who claims to receive a revelation? Is it true just because he seems to have had a supernatural experience?
Nov 3, 2014
Good comments on the current topic. Good to see Jim jumping in with his views.
ImAHebrew and Latuwr also joined. Even though they have a different belief system than most of us they are considerate and polite. Then there are a couple others who like my writings but do not post.
Allan says this:
…when a supposed revelation comes to one person, it means absolutely nothing unless a means is found for that revelation to be received by others who are willing to seek the knowledge.
The Question:
So, what do you think? Is this statement true?
Not exactly. If a revelation is written down or presented vocally then it can have great meaning to others who have not experienced it. You do not have to go through the experience to gain significant knowledge from the experience of others. In fact sometimes the person who did not have the experience will gain more from it than the one who actually had it, as many do not fully understand the revelations they do receive.
Why did the prophets and sages write down their revelations? Surely it was because they thought that those who did not have the same experience would benefit from them.
I doubt if anyone has received the same revelation as John did when he wrote he Apocalypse, yet many have received beneficial insights from it for 2000 years now. I’d be willing to bet that neither John nor Daniel fully understood the great revelations they received at the time they were given. Concerning some of Daniel’s revelations he said, “I heard, but I understood not…” Dan 12:8
This happens to many who hear a voice or see a vision. They hear and see but understand not. Someone who hears of the revelation may understand it better than the receiver, just as Joseph understood the Pharaoh’s dream much better than he did. Neither the Pharaoh or Nebuchadnezzar understood the revelations they received.
Revelation can come in a number of different ways. It can come in the form of an audible or inaudible voice, a vision, channeling, gut feeling, impression, a visitation, or some type of communion with one’s Higher Self or a Higher Life. While knowledge gained from all these sources may be helpful it can be distorted by the lower personality and misapplied.
The most reliable revelation comes from the intuitive plane or higher. There is where the language of principles dominate.
When data is given the recipient may gain very little in real understanding, but when a principle is grasped the seeker takes a definite step forward into a greater light. Two people given the same facts will often disagree, but two people seeing the same principle will not.
Unfortunately, many think they understand a principle, but really only have taken in some facts surrounding it.
It is interesting though that the understanding of a principle, or a new insight on a common one, can be shared with some people who will instantly see it after it is communicated. In this case, those who did not receive the revelation understand just as well as the original receiver.
Now applying principles is another matter. Many understand some basic principles, but do not apply them whereas a few will take the understanding and apply as much as possible. Those who do apply are opening the door for greater light.
Whereas the knowledge contained in a revelation can be shared with others a spiritual experience is another matter. An experience, spiritual, or earthly, can be shared quite well with others who have had a similar one. If you share our experience of touching a hot stove most people will completely understand because they have also touched a hot stove at one time or another. On the other hand, if you share your experience of winning the lottery others will get the general idea of how you feel, but because they have not won they may not completely understand.
If you buy an exotic fruit and taste it and a friend asks what it tastes like you can tell him that it tastes something like a cross between an orange and a pineapple. This gives him a general idea, but he would have to taste it himself to understand completely.
The point is that all revelation can be shared in different degrees with us mere mortals and differing amounts of benefits can be obtained.
Of course not all claimed revelations come from a reliable source. Some are full of illusion. How do you tell if something is true?
The first thing you do is look at the principles involved. Your soul will vibrate when a true principle is supported and if a principle is applied well or distorted you will be able to tell through inner registration.
If the revelation merely contains data that cannot be verified then one must use his mind and common sense and weigh the information against principles that are understood. If someone tells you that they received a revelation that there is a ton of gold buried ten feet deep in your front yard you could not verify such a thing using principles. You’d probably go with your common sense which would tell you the guy is a loon.
If higher verification is lacking the best thing to do is go with the highest you know. Those who do this and are true to themselves will unravel all truth as it comes knocking at the door.
Some time ago we discussed the Principles of Discovery which involved ways to verify truth. A search of this phrase at freeread.com will bring quite a bit up. Maybe we’ll revisit this subject at some time.

Life’s Direction
Robert writes:
What if these alien conspiracy people put that same thirst for knowledge into voting and trying to make a better world community. Use their creative mind to come up with new businesses that solve the problems in the world or create a new type of community.
JJ
Even though I find UFO stories interesting and believe that many other planets are inhabited, not only in the physical but in higher planes, I do not feel the inclination to put much energy in this direction.
My soul prompts me in the direction you indicated. I feel it is important for me to do what I can to send forth what light I have to make the world a better place. I do not see this as a life to concentrate on self improvement for myself, but to be as much service and use as possible. Improvement of self is always a byproduct of service so I am not concerned about this.
Of course, there are some lives where specific talent and abilities need to be acquired and the pilgrim will concentrate on self during such a life. Other lives one will concentrate on giving out what has been acquired.

I was curious what JJ and the Keysters thought about how the birth experience effects the baby’s life….or does it?
JJ
All seven of my children were born at home and I delivered six of them myself. None of them were easy births as the labor of each one was over 24 hours and all weighed around 10 pounds or more with the heaviest weighing 13.5 pounds and my wife was fairly small – only 5 ft 2 inches. The largest child at birth is very strong now and an expert and teacher of martial arts.
The births didn’t go without incident. One had the cord wrapped around its neck, one I had to turn so the birth could be achieved and one appeared to be stillborn and had to stimulate him to come to life.
I’m sure an orthodox physician would have done a C-section for most of these births, but I’m glad they were born naturally. Except in extreme cases the body is able to adapt and deliver if you just let the body handle itself.
Even though I believe natural birthing is the best as well, as breast feeding, the most important thing is the child receive love and acceptance from the parent. Even if the child doesn’t get the best beginning he can overcome setbacks and forge ahead with the best of them.
I was nursed on Caro syrup mixed with canned milk and raised on a terrible diet, but made changes and have been in good heath since.

Lights in Germany
Ruth:
I was wondering how the Brotherhood of Light knew that Hitler would be the Anti Christ in Germany? Or rather how they knew that the Dark Lord of Atlantis would possess Hitler at that time?
JJ
According to DK they didn’t know that Hitler would successfully rise to power and create such a problem. He said they were pretty much caught by surprise. Now I’m sure the Masters knew that Hitler and associates had incarnated in Germany, but it appears they did not expect him to tune in to the First Ray energy release and run with it the way he did.
Ruth
There were 5,000 light workers in Germany on purpose? Because? Of the Shamballa energy? Or something more?
JJ
Many Lightworkers incarnated into Germany at that time because it seemed to be fertile ground in which to plant seeds of positive change. Unfortunately, Hitler upended all such plans.
Ruth:
Plus some of the top Disciples were working within Hitler’s inner circle, so I wondered how they knew that this was going to happen in that time frame?
JJ
Some top disciples were caught under Hitler’s tyranny and could only fight it by sacrificing their lives, which many did. Before birth, they saw the possibility of what did happen but they were hoping to incarnate and assist the German people on the road to higher consciousness while living under a free government.
Neither the workers in the light or the dark side are flawless in the execution of their plans. Fortunately, The Law of Dominating Good governs us. That which leads to spiritual evolution will dominate in the end, but the good guys often suffer setbacks before that happens.
I’m glad you stuck it out with us and happy to see you making progress. You’ve made a great effort to follow the highest you know.

Johann:
So if someone comes and kills your baby and you hold grievance then it is if you have killed your baby yourself and you suffer the karma from that?
JJ
No. That is not what I said. BUT if you carry a grievance toward one who committed a crime toward you then you will be linked to that person. Not only will you meet him again in a future life and work out your grievance, but your spiritual progression will be hindered. This is why Jesus strongly taught to forgive in all instances, an example he set by his forgiveness of those who crucified him. He had to do this to set himself free from a negative connection to his persecutors.
If the person forgives who has suffered a major offense then he will take a major step forward toward Spirit.

Crystallization
Ruth
Do you think Allan has learned anything new from JJ or us or anyone else, or taught anything new the past few years or lifetimes?
JJ
Let me clarify what crystallization is. A crystallized person still has a working brain and habits and can still read books, take up hobbies at retirement and learn anything he wants that merely requites the input of data.
What he doesn’t do is take on a deeper type of learning that will require an adjustment in his thinking and direction.
About 90% of the people crystallize around the age of 54-56 at the second Saturn Cycle. Even though these people may continue to read books they are stuck in the path of least resistance for them and just coast for the rest of their lives leaning on what they know and believe without seriously exploring new alternatives.
For instance, it is almost impossible for a Mormon or Seventh Day Adventist who is satisfied with his religion after crystallization to change his belief system even if problems with his doctrine are presented with crystal clarity.
