The Carrot Principle

I’ve decided to stick with “fellow travelers” for The Song of Eternal Life. Most of the group likes this best and I think very few will relate it with the communist party. Most people will take it for exactly what it intended. We are all fellow travelers on the path of return. Some of us are taking our time, others are in a hurry and still others take a few detours, but we are all on a journey as travelers in this realm.

This is where the Carrot Principle comes into play. Hitler ate carrots, but does this mean that we should avoid them or see them as a bad food?

Good guys and bad guys have used the term, “fellow travelers” but each time one sees it used he must interpret it by the context with which it was used.

African Americans have attempted to get a monopoly on the word, “brother.” When they use the word they are generally referring to another of the same race. Well, we won’t quite let them get away with it because it is too good of a word to limit to one set of people. Even though a “brother” often refers to a black, many others still use it in reference to people of all races who are like-minded.

So, what if someone feels uncomfortable using “fellow travelers”? Others who are gender conscious feel uncomfortable saying “Father” in the Song of the 144,000. What about them?

When saying an invocation as an individual changing a few words is fine as long as the meaning is not changed. Instead of “fellow travelers” one could say “brothers and sisters” or “fellow seekers.” Instead of Father, one could say Father—Mother” or just God.

However, when saying an invocation as a group all should use the exact same words to amplify the spirit of union.

Also of note is that some invocations stimulate the highest possible vibration exactly as written so if you alter a word or two test the result with your soul to make sure the power is not diminished.

Predictions Revisited

Dan wanted to know what my answers would have been to the prediction questions the other day.

Well, if you want to be a false prophet just give out a couple specific predictions and it will not be long before you are wrong on something, no matter who you think you are.

The problem with the future is that it is composed of probabilities, except for a few things that are cyclic or predetermined by some intelligence. For instance, I predetermined that I was going to write a post tonight and now I am doing it as expected.

That said, here are the questions and I will answer them as probabilities.

1. Will Trump get the nomination?

If not, who?

70% chance he will get it. Ted Cruz could yet gain steam and the Republican establishment will stop the nomination if they can figure out a way to do it.

Trump needs to be very careful for his security.

2. Will Hillary get the nomination or will one of her scandals get in the way?

If she didn’t have impending scandals it would be 95%, but because legal problem are on the horizon it is 50% There is a 30% chance that Joe Biden will be the nominee 10% for Bernie Sanders and 10% someone else.

3. Who will be president in 2017?

60% Trump 20% another Republican and 20% the Democratic nominee. Republicans will have the advantage of the bigger turn out this time.

4. Will there be some sort of financial collapse before the election and will it cause problems with the election.

There is a 50% chance for some type of collapse this year and a 25% chance it will be a bad one. If it happens it will sway people toward the Republicans this time.

5. What will gold and silver do? Right now gold is at $1242 an ounce and silver is at about $15.

It will stay fairly stable until there is a downturn in the stock market or inflation returns.

This is a good time to buy gold or silver as it is unlikely that they will go down much, but just a matter of time before they go sharply up.

Trump Mussolini

Keith writes:

I briefly looked at handwriting samples of both. They appear similar. J.J. should take a look.

They exhibit the same body language when speaking before a crowd. Trumps is more understated, but still very similar. The frown Trump displays when speaking is very similar to Benito’s. Trump likes to turn and walk away from the podium or just takes a few steps backwards. Benito did the same, but a lot more demonstrative, but nonetheless similar. Hand and arm movements are also similar.

JJ

I came a cross this comparison a few days ago and have been looking into it. I even ordered a biography on Mussolini

I do not see enough similarities in speaking style to supply much evidence. I notice that Mussolini puts either one or two hands on his hips when speaking and have not seen Trump do that.

Here is a video of Mussolini giving a speech to a crowd

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OOv-Ncs7vQk

And here is one of Trump

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=apaToLjdRp4

Here is a video giving a brief biography of Mussolini.

LINK

And here is a picture of Mussolini, but quite a bit younger than Trump. Notice that he lost his hair at a young age.

LINK

Mussolini died April 28, 1945 and Trump was born June 14, 1946.

That would only leave a little over a year for the entity to prepare for a new life. When an entity makes as many mistakes as Mussolini did the soul usually has the person spend some time in the spirit world studying them and absorbing lessons in preparation for a new life in an attempt to right some wrongs.

I took a look at the handwriting of both men and there are some similarities in the signatures, but quite a bit of difference in the regular writing.

I’ll post a more in depth look shortly.

Advice to Disciples

As you know DK attempted to start a group and had to deal with a number of personality issues, emotional problems, illusions and glamours of the various members. It didn’t work out as good as he had hoped but he did lay the foundation for future work.

Here was his instructions to one disciple who was letting his emotions get in the way of group work. It contains things we can all take to heart as many seekers share some of the difficulties that the disciple in question was dealing with.

You may here rightly ask me: In what way do I hinder? I am not ambitious. I do not make trouble of a group kind; I only make trouble for myself. I try to be loving and kind. I work as hard as I think I should. I love the truth and I endeavour to meet requirements.

All of this may be true, my brother, but these statements do not constitute an alibi for what is wrong. The thing that can wreck the building work, which your group is intended to do, is the violence of your reactions and vibrations when you are emotionally upset (and this is of frequent occurrence) and the furious self-assertion whereby you endeavour to justify such violence, and your dramatic self-pity. Unless you can learn to decentralise yourself, and cease this constant self-thought and self-commiseration under all circumstances, and stop visualising yourself at all times as in the centre—yourself as the worker, yourself as the group member, yourself as the sufferer from others’ misunderstandings and mistakes, yourself as of importance—and learn to see yourself as you truly are, you can and do hinder the work and imperil the future constructive work of the group. This you know.

You love no one truly but yourself. If you loved truly and impersonally, you would not cause the pain you do to those who love and believe in your capacity; you would be more magnetic and this on a wider scale, for, as yet, you are only magnetic to those who recognise your personality and love your personality. It is from this lack that your work suffers. Yet it could so easily all be changed, if you learnt that divine indifference which you need—indifference to yourself and to your personality interests, likes and dislikes, indifference to your cares, anxieties and successes. You would then be in a position, really, to sense the importance of the work, the uniqueness of your opportunities at this time, and your really strategic position. But you are too full of fear and of self-interest and so fail to [662] make the needed impact upon those who need your help. They get the impact of your cares and fears and your demand to be liked. Can you change this? I am telling you nothing new. Among the chelas in my Ashram, you are in the position of the naughty, wilful child, for your errors and faults are those of a child and are not adult faults at all. You dream in a child’s dream world.

You must grow up, my brother, for the world needs adult workers at this time and you can meet the need; you can do great and good work; you can make a soul impact upon those around you; you can cease from being a destructive agent and become a constructive worker. But this will only be possible if your likes and dislikes, your personality determinations and affections, your feeling and your physical ailments fade out of the picture and only the world’s need remains and the longing to meet it—as you can. As, I repeat, you can. I and the group need you.

I offer you neither suspension nor the opportunity to resign. I ask you to face the issue and make good. Fight this matter out and fight it out alone. Learn to keep the things which concern yourself to yourself—a thing you have never yet learnt. Do not let your group brothers down by resigning or by a violent explosion—the repercussions of which must hurt and damage. Face life steadily, like an adult who has learnt in the school of wisdom, that the trend of all things is good. Handle life with love as a member of the New Group of World Servers.

Discipleship in the New Age, Vol 1, Pages 662-663

Joy settles within the heart

But has winged its way from the secret

place within the head.

I am that bird of joy,

Therefore with joy I serve.

DK

In Your Face at Facebook

I don’t know about you but I have been getting a tremendous amount of hateful bashing of anything that is politically right of center on Facebook. The strange thing is the majority of my friends lean right but around 90% of attack posts come from the left. It is like they are on a mission from god to wipe out God, freedom and apple pie.

I don’t think that Facebook is a good place to shove polarizing views in people’s faces – as with any group of friends there will be numerous different views and half of them will find the post irritating.

For that reason I do not post my political and spiritual views on my newsfeed that goes out to my entire friends list. I do, however respond to some that send me obnoxious distorting posts. That only goes out to his or her friends.

If a person has an agenda to promote he should do it on a dedicated Facebook page for that purpose. I have one for the Immortal HERE.

Anyway I just received a post attacking Donald Trump supporters stating that 20% of his supporters would have been against Lincoln’s executive order to free the slaves. Here was my response to this accusation:

I went to the original poll and could not find any data about Trump supporters and slavery. In fact there was no question even asking those polled if they were a Trump supporter. Since no such question was asked then it would be impossible to single out what Trump supporters believe.

The poll did ask if those polled approved or disapproved the use of executive orders for:

Freeing “all slaves in the states that were in rebellion against the federal government.”

Now keep in mind that more Democrats participated in the poll than Republicans.

A whopping 30% either disagreed with the executive order or were undecided as to whether the slaves should have been freed with an executive order.

One reason this figure was so high was probably due to the fact that a lot of people just disagree with the President using executive orders for any purpose. Many see that as being like a dictator.

Now here is a figure from the poll that should upset Hillary supporters. (Even though 5% more responders leaned Democrat than Republican) if the election were held today

“would you vote for…

The Democratic Party candidate 39%

The Republican Party candidate 46%

So it looks like we may have quite a few Democrats vote Republican as in the days of Reagan.

Another result I found interesting was how responders graded Obama as far as being liberal or conservative.

26% either think Obama is a conservative or not sure.

Isn’t that a hoot?

Also…

Only 17% said they are better off financially than a year ago but 35% said they were worse off.

43% are worried about losing their job.

70% fear it would be difficult to get a new job if they lost their current one.

Sounds like people are ready for a change.

The poll in question can be found HERE

Improving the Self

Thanks for participating in the attempt to see the future. I’ll bet the group here is more accurate than the famous psychics will be.

One thing that is important for all seekers is to place some effort on self-improvement. Self-improvement covers a number of areas.

(1) Career. Whatever you are doing for a living should be something that you can do well. Many people get lazy after they get settled in their job and no longer seek to excel. Thus the company and customers get denied their best. A true seeker will always seek to do a good job even if the work is not that enjoyable to him. A good book on inspiring excellence is, “Think and Grow Rich” by Napoleon Hill.

(2) Work on your personality and social graces. Many of us have a lot of rough edges and when some are called on it they will say something like, “That is just me. Get over it .”

One needs to consider that others may have a point and that it just may be a good investment to work on being a more pleasant and interesting person to be around.

Every seeker should have read a few books on improving relationships such as, “How to Win Friends and Influence People.” By Dale Carnegie.

(3) Continue to self educate throughout your entire life. Never be happy with the knowledge you have but always seek to learn new things.

When I was younger I memorized something new each day. It may have been a scripture or a famous quote or profound statement. Then when I got busy making a living I got out of the habit. I wish I had continued this, but better late than never. I started doing this again and find it very helpful. Memorizing a statement puts the thought very clearly in your mind causing you to come up with insights you miss when just reading it over.

For best results in memorizing I have found that it is efficient to review the words the first, second, seventh, seventeenth and thirty-first day. After that you may still need to review now and then.

There are lots of good things available to memorize such as the Great Invocation, The Song of the 144,000, various mantras and invocations, The Rules of White Magic, healing, rules for disciples etc.

I also throw in a new vocabulary word each day.

(4) Continue to work on you spiritual relationship with your own soul. Ask yourself what your next step is and how you are to accomplish it. And if you are not sure of what to do use your imagination and find a away to bring some joy to the lives of others. Little children are especially in need of some happy times and show great appreciation for acts that bring smiles to their faces.

Predictions

A few months ago I checked out all the psychics I could find making political predictions on the web and just about all of them were saying the same thing, They were saying that the force was with Jeb Bush and he would wind up running against Hillary and that Hillary would win. Most predicted that Trump would make a major mistake and be drummed out of the race.

Astrologers were saying a similar thing – that Bush had a strong chart indicating he would get the nomination.

It never ceases to amaze me how wrong these guys are. A personal bias has a lot to do with their errors. I’ll bet over 90% of those predicting doom for Trump just do not like him and those predicting a Hillary win lean toward the Democrats.

I normally stay away from specific predictions because the future is very fluid except for things governed by cycles or guided intelligence.

For a couple years we experimented with making some predictions with the expectation that no one would probably be 100% correct. Some did pretty good. I think my rate was over 70% and I got all the academy award predictions correct. My biggest miss was predicting that Castro would die and he is still kicking. I think wishful thinking got in the way of that one.

Sometimes though the stars do align.

As mentioned in my book and several posts, I met my wife when she began attending my classes and I was impressed with her when I analyzed her writing in my handwriting class. Shortly thereafter, she requested an astrological reading as I was into the art at that time.

I not only calculated her natal chart, but also her progressed chart and noticed that the Sun on her progressed chart was extremely close to the placement of my natal sun. She still has the tape I made wherein I told her something like this:

“Our suns are in the process of merging. This would indicate that you and I are going to have a very close relationship or partnership of some kind.” Then keeping in mind that we were both married to other people at the time I added, “I’m sure that would be a working relationship.”

Then about six months later, when both of us were separating from our spouses, one Thursday evening lightening struck us both at the same moment and we have been together since.

Several days after this particular day, I became curious as to how near that Thursday was to the merging of the suns. I thought it would be close, but I was truly amazed when I ran the progressed charts again and saw that her progressed sun merged exactly with mine on the very day we fell in love. The chances of this happening were minuscule.

We are currently in a situation where a lot of people are very curious about the future on a number of things. They are very curious about the coming election. Right up there on the list is the economy. Lots of people have bee n predicting a major crash now for years.

So, what do you think? I recall we made some guesses a few months ago, but now some dust has settled let us try again.

1. Will Trump get the nomination?

If not, who?

2. Will Hillary get the nomination or will one of her scandals get in the way?
3. Who will be president in 2017?
4. Will there be some sort of financial collapse before the election and will it cause problems with the election.
5. What will gold and silver do? Right now gold is at $1232 an ounce and silver is at $15.

If you had some extra cash where would you invest?

The Giant Leap

lwk Writes

Maybe there is also another important principle for the student here? Maybe it is that we should be skeptical of any teaching that promises huge leaps and gains with little effort on our part?

JJ

You are certainly correct here and those who embrace shortcuts are easy to find.

The most popular shortcut out there is the common Christian belief that all you have to do to be saved and inherit eternal life in the heavenly realms is to confess a belief in Jesus. Of course, it cannot be just any ole Jesus, but must conform to their interpretation of who and what Jesus is. The Mormon, Seventh Day Adventist, Catholic versions and many more are not acceptable to Evangelical Christians as authentic.

If, however, you confess faith in the right version of Jesus you will take a giant leap after death and dwell with God in bliss forever.

The Catholics put more emphasis on works, but they still allow a similar leap if one confesses to a proper authority before death.

Other Christian religions teach that you must do a few works but still promise a giant leap if you are faithful to their teachings and do good works.

Muslims also promise believers a giant leap but make more demands of the followers than most Christian religions. They have many rituals that must be followed and some extremist groups demand the ultimate sacrifice in fighting the so-called infidels.

Other religions have their shortcuts including those who believe that we have gone through a long series of reincarnations. Many teachers of this belief tell believers that if they accept them as a teachers or masters that they will be shown a shortcut to escaping the wheel of rebirth. An exceedingly large number of folk who believe in reincarnation believe they are on their last life, either because they see themselves as advanced or they have found some guru who has promised them a flying leap over many lifetimes that the rest of us will have to endure.

This giant leap deception not only manifests in religion but in all facets of life. Most of us have met someone who has promised us easy riches if we just invest in their scheme. In this situation it is best to recall the old adage, “If it sounds too good to be true then it probably is.”

The problem persists in politics. The United States became the most prosperous nation on the planet because we have followed the Tortoise Principle and its people have taken one step at a time toward economic liberty. Now we are backsliding because of being enticed with promises of an easy path forward. All we have to do is tax the rich, redistribute the wealth and everyone who is not rich will get lots of free stuff with no effort on their part. Even though this process has never worked over time the promise of wealth without effort is enticing and captivates many.

Whether it be easy salvation, a pyramid scheme or wealth by confiscation of other people’s money and the siren is promising an easy path forward – be warned. The real path forward in spiritual evolution will demand all the talents, intelligence and strength the seeker has to successfully complete the journey. If you are not being challenged then you are doing something wrong.

The Tortoise Principle

Ginger writes about the idea that when a light is dimmed and then suddenly turned on bright that it hurts the eyes. She wonders if there is a principle behind this.

Indeed there is. I have written about it as a side item, but never presented this as a core principle. From the Book of Quotes on Freeread in the Light and dark section we read:

“If a light is slowly dimmed to fifty percent strength and then is instantly turned up to full strength, the person is startled as to the intensity. He had no idea he was missing so much light. Even so with spiritual light. We are often not aware when we are losing it.”

Indeed, as we move toward the light our soul engineers our life so we will not take giant leaps, but move forward step by step. DK tells us that the tortoise always beats the hare because he just moves forward incrementally without ceasing whereas the hare attempts giant leaps and is inconsistent.

Since you have an LDS background you might appreciate this quote from Joseph Smith:

“You have to learn how to be Gods yourselves, and be kings and priests to God, the same as all Gods have done before you, namely by going from one small degree to another, and from a small capacity to a great one: from grace to grace from exaltation to exaltation until you attain the resurrection of the dead.”

History of the Church; Vol. 6 Pg. 306

The idea behind this principle is this: You do not advance in any great effort by making one or two giant leaps forward, but must advance step by step. You move up a ladder one step at a time, not by taking six steps or even three. Two steps may be possible, but is not efficient.

There are several things we could name this principle so let us pick one.

The best two in my opinion is either the Tortoise Principle or the Incremental Principle. Perhaps the group will weigh in as to which one they like best.

Now let us put the principle in words.

It is the idea that progress from point A to point B or any major adjustment to a new situation, energy or light must be made in increments that does not overtax the seeker.

The scripture says it well:

And see that all these things are done in wisdom and order; for it is not requisite that a man should run faster than he has strength. And again, it is expedient that he should be diligent, that thereby he might win the prize…

Mosiah 4:27

The truism behind the principle is:

Do not bite off more than you can chew.

It is interesting that there is a protective web between all the centers that protects them from opening up too suddenly as it would be a disaster to release too much soul energy before one is ready to assimilate it.

The problem with many as they begin their real journey on the path is that when they catch a small glimpse of the plan they want to hurry forward as quickly as possible. The beginner often thinks he is on his last life and wants to take giant leaps. This unreasonable judgment often sets him back a lifetime or two. The successful disciple just moves ahead one step at a time and if the next step consists of small things then so be it.

Following this principle does not mean that the disciple can spend a lot of time just taking it easy. All disciples must learn to make efficient use of their time as they are moving forward step by step.

I was taught that the way of progress was neither swift nor easy.

Marie Curie
