Oneness

Oneness

Some question my handling of disagreements by jumping in the fire and making attempts at correct communication. This does seem to take us away from our prime directive, but such resolution of conflict is a very important part of the spiritual oneness.

When Molecules are in the process of creation, and also after creation, certain egos will fluctuate between focus on the personality and the soul.

Two or more people in the soul will always be able to reach agreement. Now I’m talking about important points of direction, not something like a favorite color or movie.

“Why is this?” one may ask. “Wouldn’t people turn into robots if they always agreed?”

No. Not if the agreement is through the soul.

Agreement is not always automatic for when we all use the vehicles of the personality differences will materialize. All free souls think and feel differently about many things. As ideas and teachings are presented to the molecules all members will think and feel differently about them. But when the time comes to move forward differences must be resolved. This is first accomplished through the use of reason, searching the heart and discussion. For a group of soul sensitive people this orthodox method of resolution will often work, but there will be times when it will not. When it does not Molecular members will then follow their prime directive which is this: “To seek oneness through the soul by dissolving differences through soul confirmation, seeing the group as one living entity that only has livingness when all entities surrender to the voice of the one soul.”

Two or more people in the personality can also reach agreement. Those who are in group one, as talked about previously, can have the illusion of oneness through the subjection to, not the soul, but an outside authority.

For instance those in an authoritative church will rarely go against the authoritative pronouncements of the leaders or established doctrines, or even more subtle directives from the group thoughtform that many will mistake for the voice of God.

Those in a political party will often universally submit to party leaders.

Those in a certain profession will usually be at one with the leaders of the profession. Individuals may have their own ideas but they will go along to insure their jobs.

The interesting thing is that when the personality who has oneness because of subjection to authority steps outside the boundaries of that authority the illusion of oneness evaporates.

John and Mary attend the same church and do not question the teachings that come to them from the church. On this they are one because they do not question. Yet when they go home and start talking about how to spend John’s raise in pay all hell breaks loose. Why? Because there is no controlling authority in this department.

Two people in the personality consciousness have no problem in agreeing with an outside controlling authority. Their problem of separateness is revealed, however when they work together in a real world situation. When they apply their mindset to their goals on the physical plane they have as much or more friction as anyone else.

Now a third combination is that of a personality centered individual and a soul infused individual. You would think that because the soul infused person is a nice guy and sensitive to higher contact that he or she could achieve unity with the personality centered one better than another personality can. Not so. In matters of truth, philosophy and spiritual teachings the two will have more friction than any other combination. In fact he who is centered in the personality will often develop hateful angry feelings toward the one in the soul and be beside himself to explain why.

The prime example of this was Jesus. He harmlessly went forth and taught and healed the people. You would think no one would complain about that, but the Jews who were centered in the personality developed tremendous anger and hatred toward Him. It is interesting that when Pilate gave the crowd a chance to release the murderer Barabbas or the kind soul who was Jesus, they chose the murderer by unanimous vote. This is because those whose attention is on the personality are natural enemies of those who are in the soul. As soon as such a one gets a sense of the direction the soul is leading such a person, he will begin to think the soul infused person is an agent of evil that needs to be stopped.

Therefore, the one who is in the soul must be as harmless as a dove and wise as a serpent so he does not release too much soul energy too quickly or too soon to those who are resistant to such energy.

Yet to those who are seeking the soul the teacher must establish harmony or oneness through conflict if necessary, for oneness must be achieved if true spiritual work is to be accomplished.

The Three Groups

Joseph Dewey

9/15/99

The Three Groups

When I post my writings I often see that some do not understand completely. This is fine. At least they understand some and full understanding will come in a matter of time.

But when people misunderstand me I always feel unsettled. When I speak of apples and they see oranges it stirs my soul and I feel that correct communication is essential if we are to achieve oneness, therefore, I strive to make the communication effective. If one perceives a truth as clear as the morning sun but cannot convey that truth it will only seem as the blackest night to him who has not heard.

I know several rays of truth and wish to share and I assume you are here at least partially because you desire to receive so if I am to do my job I will correctly relate to you that light which has been given me. I am partially selfish in this for I cannot receive more if I do not give that which I have, but for me to give you must understand.

Now many do understand and joyously feel the light I send which vibrates within their souls and these entities are sensing the beauty of the Oneness Principle – that it is indeed possible for two or more to agree in all principles yet retain full individuality and power of decision.

There are three types of people on this little planet.

First there is the black and white letter-of-the-law type. This person needs laws and rules laid down for him by some strong authority before he will act. If, for instance, the Bible is his main guide he will follow it strictly and whoever speaks a word that is not in there is of the devil. Anyone who even has a different interpretation than his minister suggests from the Bible is also evil. This type is not only in the religions, but everywhere.

Among the lower evolution he will be a member of a gang or mob where he is under strict authority and rigid rules. If he is higher on the scale and a doctor he will strictly follow what he has been taught and laugh at natural cures outside of his practice.

If he is an attorney he will think that you can know nothing about law because you have no degree and he does.

The second type is at the other end of the spectrum and this is one throws out all the rules in one way or another and becomes a law unto himself. This person often grew up under a lot of rules, which caused much discomfort and at some point rebelled against them and discarded them as much as possible. He sees rules as linear thinking, restricted thinking, Neanderthal mindless activity that leads nowhere.

This type among lower evolution will not be in a gang or mob but will be an independent thief, con man or bully.

Among higher types he may be a rebellious doctor or one who enters alternative medicine, but ignores the rules and often gets in trouble with the authorities.

If interested in law this type will have his own interpretation of the rights of man, the constitution and live by his own law and often be at odds with the powers that be.

Many advanced number two’s are in the New age, metaphysical areas of thought. Those in this group will often use the phrase “following your own soul,” “all truth is within,” and “we all have our own truth.” This lawless philosophy becomes so nebulous that everything is true and nothing is true. Many in this group cannot name any set of rules, laws, teachings that they believe to be reliable truth. What they consider reliable is only what appeals to them from a teaching at the moment. Their minds will often dwell on some “ultimate” reality far removed from the real life of day-to-day living where real consciousness is. Many in this group see themselves conjuring up great achievements and wealth by merely declaring it to be so and refusing to see any negativity or dualities.

The ironical thing about this group is they often give seminars on “power to achieve,” yet neither they or their adherents ever achieve anything of significance. They often live out their lives as dreamers with little use to God or man.

Finally, there is a third group and this last category is always misunderstood by groups one and two. This person is not a rigid follower of laws and rules just because they were passed down to him or some authority has decreed them. But neither does he throw away all laws and rules. Instead, he examines them, tests them and submits himself to those which work or are useful to the individual or group.

If this person were a doctor he would not swallow the party line of thought, but looks for what works and if alternative medicine works he would accept it, but he would be wise enough to stay out of trouble with authorities unless he decides to go to battle in an intelligent manner with a possibility of winning.

In metaphysics and philosophy he realizes that real reliable truth is out there and does not retreat from the dualities, but accepts the limitations that he finds himself in and works from there to expand his ring-pass not. He realizes that the Soul and Spirit confirm truth but he must go out and seek and find it. When he does seek and finds truth, then he will accept such truth as law to govern his life until something higher comes along. He does not rely on all authority, but he does rely on proven authority and there will generally be some books, teachers and writings that he will deem reliable. Then there will be many others that he will see as pure fantasy and illusion.

Now here’s the funny thing. Group one thinks this guy belongs in group two and group two sees him as a dangerous group one.

Let us take the example of drugs for instance.

The group three person will often be quite tolerant and maybe a little experimental, but rarely addicted to anything.

He may say something like this to the group one: “Yes, I drink a little wine, coffee and take some aspirin now and then. I played around with some illegal drugs when I was young just to see what the big deal was and it was no big deal. If George Bush took some coke when he was a young party animal that’s fine with me. What’s the big deal?”

When group one hears this type of talk he immediately categorizes him as a group two person who lives by no rules and is part of the liberal enemy that’s out there.

On the other hand, he may say something like this to a group two: “I am against drug addiction for it can waste an entire life as well as have a negative effect on countless other people. I believe that certain rules, regulations and laws are necessary to preserve order.”

On hearing this the group two may say: “Oh, you’re one of those rigid law and order types aren’t you? You want to take your truth and shove it down my throat. Well, I have news for you…”

You get the idea.

One of the problems is that the only one who can immediately understand the group three is another group three. It takes a tremendous amount of explaining and clarity for the other two groups to see the point that black and white acceptance or rejection is not the path for this individual.

The Presence

Joseph Dewey

The Presence

A member writes:

“Weird weird night last night I have this friend that I think we are capable of forming a molecular relationship and have been discussing it with him. As I meditated on it last night so many strange things happened Lights, fire, energy. But it wasn’t him it was as if the bonding was going with my higher self I would start to be logical or think it was him but then all I could think of was my higher self then this unbelievable longing would takeover and I would feel this overwhelming presence so powerful I could barely tolerate it. I always thought this experience would be a wonderful La La land experience but in some ways it was so over powering that it almost became frightening. There is definitely something going on and I’m not sure what. I am not doing anything particularly spiritual or inspiring and am plodding along with the book cover ideas are flowing but nothing exciting or super wonderful, just everyday stuff. So I see no reason for it but asking the list about this stuff does help it was so overpowering.

JJ

This sounds like a third type of spiritual contact that I have not covered yet because it is rare, at least up to now.

Let me ask you this about the Presence you felt.

When you sense the presence of the Holy Spirit you will feel a range from the Still Small Voice to a Holy Breath that fills you with joy and makes you feel like weeping.

When you feel the presence a Master who is one with Christ you will feel a very strong feeling of love and power and bliss, but you will not necessarily feel like weeping.

Neither of these experiences is frightening.

But there is a third Presence, The Father or Shamballa energy. Let me describe this and tell me if this is what you felt.

The Presence is so powerful that you felt that if it got much closer to you that you would evaporate, as if it can command your very soul and Spirit, as if it were the Source itself. You feel more a sense of power than that of joy or bliss, even though you know that this Presence includes them all.

Even though it is frightening you know beyond any doubt that it is from God because it is linked with your very essence. It is only frightening because it is difficult to adjust your vibration to It.

If you did feel this third Presence then you most likely have some type of assignment in alignment with Purpose. You need to ask and find out what it is. I doubt if it would be just a book cover, unless there is a particularly important item that must be included. It could be a message of some kind.

Let me know if you identify with this third Presence.

Presence Confirmed

She responds:

“Yes it is as if I will no longer be and my “EGO” becomes frightened because it feels as if it is dying but everything in me knows that this is right There is so much more I could say but I lose myself in it and only want this even though I know I will not be me any longer. It sounds confusing but I am drawn so much towards it.”

JJ

This definitely sounds like the Father Presence and is quite alarming the first time you feel it. Pray or meditate and seek His will and let me know the results positive or negative. Do not delay.

By the way, what nation are you in?

(Note: We never heard from this lady again. This Shamballa presence is so powerful that it has scared off all those I have been associated with who have contacted it. It means they can be useful to fulfilling higher will if they accept its direction)

The Missed Fourth

The Missed Fourth

Alley writes:

“I have noticed in this past while an enormous increase in seeing things and an increase in seeing auric colours around myself and others. Anyone else experiencing the same thing in this past few weeks.”

JJ

I notice that several others are having paranormal experiences.

Our group energy has indeed affected all who are actively participating through the Song, the NJ meditation and energizing loving thoughts. I know my sensitivity has increased and I have been seeing things I have never seen before. I also feel an increase in vibration. My advice is to just jump in the waters, explore and enjoy.

Question: “If I understand correctly ‘gathering’ is meaning to come together to join or bond with others in a molecular relationship of however many you have. 2-12-24 or combinations thereof 50-70-whatever you have in a certain area.

“In Joseph Smith’s days they believed that they were to ‘gather’ to a specific spot namely, ‘Independence Missouri’ which would be the future location of the ‘New Jerusalem’.

“Do you have any comments!”

Also, could someone enlighten me as to who were/are the Masons and what they are all about?

JJ

It was the design in that era to eventually gather in Independence Missouri. Joseph even predicted that it would happen in his generation, but the plan was frustrated by his premature death.

It is interesting that the Joseph was given an opportunity to pass the fourth initiation of the Great Renunciation and an interesting test it was.

He had found himself in dozens of hairbreadth escapes from death from his enemies so often in his life that the church members began to think he was invincible. Finally the governor of Illinois issued a warrant for his arrest for treason.

He was beside himself what to do for he told his brother if he was ever arrested again he would be killed. At that moment of great concern he received a revelation. He was told that he was to save his life and to go west to the Oregon Territory and continue building the kingdom there.

He took his brother and a couple men and escaped across the raging Missouri during a storm to Iowa. Shortly after being out of harm’s way he received a letter from his wife. She told him that everyone in the church was calling him a coward, that unlike Christ, he was the shepherd who left his flock to fend for itself. Neighboring communities were threatening to kill the Mormons if he did not give himself up. After writing this even his own wife indicated to him she thought he should give himself up and that God would protect him.

After he read the letter he shook his head and asked his brother, “What do you think? Should we go back?”

His Brother Hyrum said: “We have been in situations like this before and God has delivered us. I think we should go back and things will work out again.”

“No,” said Joseph. “It is different this time. If we go back we’ll be butchered.”

Then he turned to his old friend and body guard Porter Rockwell. “What do you think? Should we go back?”

“You’re the prophet. You make the decision,” said Porter.

Hyrum grabbed the letter and read it. “It sounds like they all want us to come back whether we get killed or not to save their own selves. They’ll think we are cowards if we do not return.”

Joseph felt extreme sorrow at this thought. He thought of all he had risked and given to the Saints (as they were called) and now his own followers were eager to sacrifice his life to save them from threats of neighbors that will probably not materialize.

As this wave of overwhelming sorrow descended upon him his brother said: “We must go back. I will return with or without you.”

Now the pressure on Joseph was of monumental proportions. How would he look with his brother bravely facing the authorities without him? Everyone would surely call him a coward beyond redemption. Any past acts of courage would be quickly forgotten and he probably would not be deemed suitable to lead anyone.

Joseph reflected a moment and said: “If my life is worth nothing to my friends, it is worth nothing to me. We shall return, but we shall be slaughtered. Indeed, we are as lambs going to the slaughter.”

They did return, and despite the promise of safety by the governor Joseph and Hyrum were shot by an angry mob that were allowed to break into the prison to get him.

After he was shot the mob pulled his body next to a tree and shot him some more. There was a reward on his head and one of the mob went to his lifeless body and grabbed him by the head and was about to cut his head off when suddenly there was a sound out of nowhere like a cannon and a bolt of light hit him out of the clear blue sky and paralyzed his arm. Within seconds the mob dispersed in great fear leaving the slain brothers with their bodies at least intact.

The interesting thing is that Joseph is greatly honored by the Mormons for his courage in voluntarily giving up his life, but what they do not realize is that this was not supposed to be. The Brotherhood had hopes he would pass this difficult test which was the opposite of Jesus facing the crucifixion. His test was to live even though the whole world would have thought he was the greatest coward on the planet. What he did not realize is that those who were still capable of soul contact would have followed him west and the power of the Spirit within him would have been stronger than ever because of his following the Holy Spirit in such difficult circumstances.

Because of this failure he was not able to lead the saints back to Missouri and perfect the Molecular Order.

I think it is yet quite possible that there will be a gathering in Missouri, but I have been given no information in that direction at present.

There will be temporary gatherings in the various nations of the earth in preparation for a physical gathering into one body of the lights of the earth. This gathering will be on a new land is all I can say at present. This is a hint. The answer is not what you expect.

The Masons.

They are a very ancient organization and are guardians of various ceremonies and rites which have been corrupted, but in the new age various initiates will revitalize it with revelation and correction. Several offshoots will materialize taking the best from the masons and restoring some of the ancient knowledge with added new knowledge and keys.

Oneness Through Fire

Joseph Dewey

9/11/99

Oneness Through Fire

Keith Writes:

“When my wife meditates she always sees this eye ball looking back at her. This eye ball never goes away. Even if she just shuts her eyes while not meditating it remains. Would you please elaborate on the significance of seeing this eye ball continually.”

Usually symbols like this given to the seeker are for the benefit of the seeker and growth is achieved by the receiver finding the meaning as it applied to him or her.

When you mention one eye the thought of the all seeing eye of God comes to my mind. This rests on the top of the New Jerusalem. It is a possible invitation for her to come inside.

When you have an unknown symbol like this occur you also want to ask yourself how you felt when you received it.

Did you feel peaceful, loving, good? Then the chances are it is from the side of love and light.

Did you feel negative, fearful and darkness? Then perhaps a dark source is attempting to deceive you.

Keith also asks:

“During my meditations I sometimes experience watery or tearful eyes. This usually occurs when the flow of energy is at its peak. I neglected to mention that on my last post about the ‘wave’. I wonder if anyone else has experienced this?”

Jesus compared one who feels the Spirit to the feel of the wind:

“The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.” John 3:8

As you enter the world of oneness in the Spirit it will seem to come and go like the wind and when it does sweep over your spirit (like a wave as you aptly express it) you will feel like weeping with joy. Now in the normal emotional realm I have to have some overwhelming occurrence to cause me to shed tears, but when the higher feelings of the Spirit come and I sense the wave I immediately feel the tears of joy coming and I have no desire to hold back as I often do with regular emotional response.

Many people who have not felt this, tell of some of their experiences and think they are the highest possible, but they do not realize there is yet a giant leap in feelings in front of them. One who has felt what I call the New Jerusalem feeling will have a sense of oneness and brotherhood with others who have felt it and those who have not yet had this baptism of fire, yet think they have, will never be able to adequately describe it.

A definite ingredient to the experience is an overwhelming feeling of joy that brings tears that the strongest of hearts cannot hold back.

This spiritual fire is usually given to you as a witness to some truth that you are supposed to register and incorporate into your life or mission. It gives you a surety that you are headed the right direction.

Oneness in the molecule will be achieved not through teaching, argument and reason alone. It is true that when there are disagreements we must do all that we can on our own first to reach union, but then when all that is possible has been done through regular communication the group must seek confirmation from the Holy Spirit.

Higher confirmation that leads to oneness comes in two ways.

(1) The Still Small Voice. In a molecular group the Still Small Voice speaks the same message of truth to all as if they are one life.

On an individual basis a person not familiar with the true Voice may think he hears it when he is really hearing reflections of his own thoughts, but when the Voice is finally registered for what it is there can be no deception as long as the mind is held steady in the light.

If the person slips away from the light he can again be deceived by his lower desires and thoughts.

In a molecule a sure sign that all have heard the voice will be that all hear the same thing at the same instant and interpret it the same way.

(2) The fire of the Spirit. This is briefly mentioned in the scriptures:

“John answered, saying unto [them] all, I indeed baptize you with water; but one mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire:” Luke 3:16

There is a spiritual fire that is transmitted by the Christ to His disciples and on important occasions He will send the fire to the group as an undeniable confirmation of the path to take. Sometimes when you hear the Still Small Voice it is so still and so small that you wonder if you are imagining things, at least in the beginning. But when the fire is sent from Christ to an individual or a Molecule there is no questioning the validity because it is a very powerful experience.

This can only happen to a molecule or group when they are already listening to the voice of the soul. If one person is out of alignment the group life cannot receive the fire.

In the case of the Apostles at Pentecost the alignment was so correct that a visible fire occurred.

“And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.” Acts 2:1-3

What the Bible does not say is that they were seated male/female and twin flames came from each male and female and joined into one flame.

This extraordinary charge of fire was sent because this was the initiation of the molecule after Matthias replaced Judas. It was a sure witness to them of the path and that the power of greater life (life more abundant) was manifest again.

Group oneness in the Spirit is very difficult to not only achieve but to maintain. The danger is that one or two will slip back down in consciousness to the personality and buy into ideas planted in his lower mind that are at odds with the group. When others who are in harmony with the Spirit try and correct him he will feel as they are trying to control him and take away his individuality. Then his ego rises in power and blocks his communication with the Spirit by telling him the ego is the Spirit. Finally, this person believes he has the higher contact and all the others are off base.

This situation can only be corrected by the wayward one becoming open to the possibility he is wrong and once open to the possibility seek the real truth. Then when the group seeks an answer with all members being open to all possibilities the correction will come.

Generally through, once the person settles down into the ego he is so sure he is right that he will refuse to seek higher confirmation.

Thus we see the importance of all members in the Molecule staying in the spirit. If the leader is in the spirit then he can recognize when a member is drifting away from the light and attempt to help him back. If he cannot come back he must be replaced to insure the life of the body.

By the way, I enjoyed Susi’s words (quoted below).

“If God were strict and ridged, would not the trees grow straight and tall, would not the rivers cease to meander, and would we ever have discovered a circle? God is curious as the child, playful as the puppy, sneaky as the snake, moody as all the moons of Saturn, but most importantly my most honest and true friend, my beloved.”

The Flow

Joseph Dewey

9/9/99

The Flow

A reader brings up the “going with the flow,” idea again. We covered this quite extensively some time ago.

It is true that there is one great life whose pure essence is beyond polarities, but if you and I were to undue the reflection of God and go back to that originating point all the world before us, as well as higher worlds, would disappear. Your individuality would disappear, you would have nowhere to go and there would be nothing to Become. Are you ready for that?

I am not and I do not know anyone who is.

The reader makes this statement:

“From experiments and experiences one would finally find out that the quickest and the most efficient way to grow spiritually is the natural way or the way of the flow of energy.”

But the question is which flow? All the energies that affect us can be divided into two streams.

First, that which takes us toward Spirit and second, that which takes us to the lower vibration of matter and illusion.

I have previously called these the two paths, the path of high resistance (Spirit) and the path of least resistance (matter).

I am not sure where this catch phrase “go with the flow” came from. It certainly is not in any inspired books I have read. I think it came from the hippies during the sixties.

The only flow that about 95% of humanity even feels is the flow toward matter and if they do not subject themselves to teachings passed down to them from various avatars of the race the average person will meet with terrible disaster in going with the flow that he taps into.

But a seeker may argue here and say: “But I have soul contact and my flow is the Spirit and I am always in tune with it and go with it with ease.

My question to you is this?

Are you greater than the Master and teacher of us all?

In the midst of dealing with the crises of the betrayal of Judas the voice of the Spirit told the Christ He had to complete his mission and go to the cross. Was following the Spirit just an easy matter of going with the flow for Him?

No. A thousand times no. He pled with the Father, “If it be within thy will please remove this cross from me and open another path, but not my will but yours will be done.”

As he was going through this the scriptures tell us that he sweated blood from his pores.

Now who in their right mind can say that just because we have a little evolution behind us that we just jump into some blissful state and go with the flow and all is easy and all is well?

This was certainly not the case with the greatest of us all.

Djwahl Khul who spoke through Alice A. Bailey as well as all other real Masters who speak on this subject speak of spiritual achievement in these terms: “I am one who has wrestled and fought his way into a greater measure of light than has the aspirant who will read this article, and I must therefore act as a transmitter of the light, no matter what the cost…” (Preface to AAB books)

This was spoken by a Master who works directly in the primary Molecule of the Christ.

If those higher than ourselves had to wrestle and fight and still have to pay a high cost to do the work what makes us think that we are greater than they?

I for one realize that I am not greater than Christ and realize that every ounce of real progress I have made has been through struggle. If you read my teachings and if you feel they are any value to you, let me tell you this. Without my going through great pain and struggle and effort you would not be reading these things. If I had chosen to go with the obvious flow even 10% of my life you would not be reading these things. All I have to give you is what I have received because of decisions that took me against the flow of all that was going on around me.

Thank God for that rush of living water you feel when you dig down deep and get the guts to go against the material flow. That stream of living rushing water then washes away all the illusion and the truth behind the stagnate pools stands revealed.

 

Ultimate vs. Practical Application

This flow thing presents interesting possible journeys into illusion while at the same time having the appearance of going beyond illusion.

Students agree on some basic metaphysical tenants which are as follows:

(1) There is one originating life and one composite life.

(2) Both good and evil are necessary and are two illusionary split offs of the one flow (for want of a better word).

(3) What is called good or evil in our world is basically what we define it to be individually or collectively.

(4) In the end all entities will realize their oneness with God and come (home) to it.

Where the reader and I disagree is in the application of these truths to basic reality.

Correct me if I am wrong about your beliefs but here is where I see it:

Reader: You are always going with the flow so everything you do is the right thing to do in the end. Therefore we should not judge any act as being good or bad. Even taking drugs or killing someone has no meaning in the final analysis.

JJ: By putting your attention on some ultimate end, force or reality you are taking it away from the place that the Purpose of God intended it to be. Going to jail for five years may be a great learning experience, but should we then have such a relaxed attitude about it that we allow that to happen just because we will not consider this as “bad” 100 years from now or in the ultimate reality?

Not for me. I consider (or define it) it as “bad” now and this helps me avoid such a learning experience and to progress on to a more positive learning experience that gets me from A to B much quicker.

Quote from reader:

“If you believe that to take drugs is bad and not to take drugs is good you are to be true to yourself and stop taking drugs. If you however believe that taking drugs and not taking drugs are two expressions of one and same force, or taking drugs and not taking drugs occur alternately in the one process of evolution where would you see the good and the bad as separated in the whole?”

JJ: Who sees it as separated from the whole?

In writing this way you give the impression that we should not have any concern about the results of our actions. If we want to yield to some nebulous flow and be a drug addict and kill for our stash that is fine because “taking drugs and not taking drugs are two expressions of one and same force.”

You seem to be giving the impression that it is just fine to screw up our lives and cause unlimited pain to ourselves and others. Is that really what you intend to present here? Probably not, but it appears that way.

On the other hand, my thrust is to present teachings in harmony with all basic teachings of ancient wisdom of oneness, yet making them apply to creating better lives for us in the here and now.

It is true that we all learn our lessons in the end, but if going to jail for five years is something we want to avoid, why act like the delay of our liberation by perhaps millions of years and going through untold suffering and pain is no big deal?

To us in the real world (real to us) this is a big deal so emphasis and attention must be put on the good and the bad (the dualities) as it applies collectively.

After all, all we have for happiness and joy is what we are going through in the present so the present for us is a big deal and it is not “evil” to make it so. Such is not out of harmony with the oneness of the soul, the intuition or the Purpose of God.

Walls and Borders, Part 9

Achieving Unity

It is interesting to contemplate how difficult it is for humans and groups of us to achieve unity. A group can accept the same sacred writings, the same Constitution, the same structure, the same goal and yet come to very different conclusions as to how to proceed.

For instance, many have the same Bible but there are thousands of differing religions having different interpretations of the same book.

This phenomenon repeats itself with all groups who hold dear to an authority and more modern writings of DK HPB and others are no exception.

When we disagree why can we not just go to our authoritative source materials and reach agreement? Why will two people read the same words and interpret so differently?

On each issue, is there not a point of highest truth that is available to perceive through the soul if both just look together?

Indeed there is.

What then prevents it from happening?

There are many obstacles preventing unity and that is few are willing to consistently look through the eyes of the soul. Even those who have established some soul contact allow the personality with its lower desires to creep in and make is lower will felt.

The personality interprets according to its bias, programming and personal desire, and, as these are different with each individual, you rarely will have two personalities agreeing on all issues.

On the other hand, if two people focus on the soul and put its will over the personality on all issues, agreement can be obtained and the point of workable truth will be seen together.

The problem with finding political unity is that finding agreement entails much more than just finding facts and agreeing on them. When have you ever won a political argument by quoting a true fact?

The main thing required for finding the best solution is judgment. Finding the right direction requires good judgment and as personalities we are very flawed in this quality. The pilgrim only gains good judgment when consistent soul contact is attained.

The problem with the personality is that it sees things in black and white, all good or all bad.

For instance, some see nationalism, borders and laws they do not like as all good or all bad . But what may be good in application now may be detrimental at another time. Thus, the black and white approach without judgment is always doomed to failure.

Disciples have to look at each situation and figure out what is best for the individual, the group, the country and the world. Then he must weigh the elements and make a decision as to how to proceed.

A border wall, for instance, may be beneficial now, but need to be torn down in a few years if good judgment prevails.

In one generation it may be vey beneficial to take in large numbers of immigrants, but in another, not so much.

It is the tendency of those in the personality to want a matter settled and then not to have to trouble themselves thinking about it again.

The problem is the only thing that stays the same is change and tomorrow always requires a different view and decision than today.

Law is required for a society to live in harmony. D K says this:

“In all things cosmic, perfect law and order are found.”

TCF, Page 212

Concerning law Percival, who some think is the Master P, said this:

“Law and justice do rule the world. If it were not so there would be no circulation in nature. Masses of matter could not be dissolved into units, the infinitesimals and atoms and molecules could not combine into definite structure; the earth, sun, moon and stars could not move in their courses and be continually held in their relation to each other in their bodily and spatial immensities. It is against sense and reason, and worse than madness, to fancy that law and justice might not rule the world. If it were possible that law and justice might be stopped for one minute, the result would be universal chaos and death. Universal justice rules the world by law in consonance with knowledge. With knowledge there is certainty; with knowledge there is no room for doubt.”

Democracy and Self Government by Percival

Perfect law governs the universe, but such perfection has not yet found its way into human society. The hope is that the power of the seventh ray in the Age of Aquarius will cause harmony through law on earth as it is in heaven.

If, therefore, our laws do not seem to be in harmony with spirit, instead of becoming lawless and breaking them, we need to change them so the will of the people will be satisfied.

Walls and Borders, Part 8

The Seventh Ray

As most spiritual students know, all creation is formed and then governed by the seven rays. These rays go in and out of incarnation and wax and wane in influence. Right now we have two very different rays exerting influence. The first is Ray Six, which has been a dominating factor for the Age of Pisces over the past two thousand years. This is called the Ray of Idealism and strongly influences the emotional nature to support an ideal and sacrifice what is necessary to manifest it. Pisces is a water sign, which enhances the power of emotion during its dominance.

The positive manifestation of this ray occurred after the appearance of the Christ resulting with the presentation of the ideal man and of the path of love and sacrifice. Many embraced this and sacrificed their lives to establish ideals in the minds of humanity.

Later, this led to excess as wars were fought and persecutions were permitted in the name of Christ to force the supposedly correct views on the masses, and then extended to the Native Americans through the Conquistadors.

The influence went from helping establish the benevolent ideals of the loving Christ to being an agent of the beast in using excess unjust authority to enforce a corrupt ideal of the real thing.

Fortunately, Ray Six has run its course and is going out of incarnation as the Aquarian Age with different dominant influences is coming in. But it is not going out without a fight. Instead, it is reluctantly going out kicking and screaming. Those still under its influence want desperately to maintain powerful external emotional control over people’s lives. DK tells us there are still a large number of sixth ray souls in incarnation who will shortly be passing away which will greatly diminish the residual power of this ray of idealism.

Ray Six had great power because, in addition to being in incarnation, it is a dominating influence of the sign of Pisces, even so, Ray Seven will have a powerful influence in the Age of Aquarius. In addition to coming into full power as an incarnating Ray it is the governing ray of Uranus, the dominating planetary influence of Aquarius. The other dominating ray is Five which influences us on the path of concrete knowledge and science.

The influences of the odd number rays are often in conflict with the even numbers, especially when one is increasing and the other decreasing in power as is now the case.

Society is thus faced with the masses who are still under the strong influence of the idealism and strong authority of Ray Six which is at odds with the incoming Aquarian influences of Ray Seven.

Ray Six started waning in 1625 AD and Ray Seven started making its influence felt in 1675. As we enter into the Age of Aquarius at the cusp of the two ages, these two rays have approached the time of maximum conflict.

So where is the conflict? As noted Ray Six is the ray of idealism. On the other hand, Ray Seven is called the Ray of Ceremonial Magic or Organization.

The magical part of the influence will increase humanity’s understanding of the Law of Correspondences so people will look for and understand the meaning of symbols and how things on one level correspond to other levels. The use of analogies and scientific ceremony will come to greater prominence.

The organization part governs business and law and order.

We thus see an emerging conflict between those who support impractical ideals at odds with business and law and order.

Concerning this situation DK says:

“A large number of seventh ray egos or souls and also of men and women with seventh ray personalities are coming into incarnation now, and to them is committed the task of organising the activities of the new era and of ending the old methods of life and the old crystallised attitudes to life, to death, to leisure and to the population.

“The result of the increasing flow of seventh ray energy plus the decreasing influence of the sixth ray which shows itself as a pronounced crystallisation of the standardised and accepted forms of belief, religious, social and philosophic is to throw the millions of people who do not respond to either of the above influences through egoic or personality relation, into a state of bewilderment. They feel entirely lost, are gripped by the idea that life holds for them no desirable future, all that they have learnt to cherish and to hold dear is rapidly failing.”

The Destiny of the Nations, Page 30

Both conservatives and liberals have their pet ideals that are being challenged or shattered by the seventh ray influence. The magical aspect of the ray, which is enhanced by the fifth ray of science (many magical innovations) has shattered numerous religious beliefs and the organization part, empowering business and law, is challenging liberal ideals. If business does not align with their ideals they are against them and if law does not agree with them they ignore or break it.

DK indicates that a cycle of lawlessness draws the attention of an avatar which indicates we are in a situation today where such an event as the reappearance of the Christ may be near:

“The spiritual statement by Shri Krishna, to be found in the Lord’s Song, the Bhagavad Gita, was an announcement, preparatory to the coming of the Christ. In that Song He says: ‘Whenever there is a withering of the Law and an uprising of lawlessness on all sides, then I manifest Myself. For the salvation of the righteous and the destruction of such as do evil, for the firm establishing of the Law, I come to birth in age after age.’”

Walls and Borders, Part 7

Law Creates Order

A fourth argument again uses labels rather than reason to attack those who support borders and Immigration law. They label such people as being anti immigration. “We are a nation of immigrants,” they say. “Immigrants made us who we are and we should welcome them.”

Those who support the enforcement of immigration law, as far as is feasible, find this accusation very insulting, deceptive and disingenuous. Neither myself, nor anyone I have talked to on the right, is anti immigration, and labeling us as such is just mean spirited deception.

I suppose there may be a few out there who are anti immigration, though I have not met them, but overall most on the right are pro immigration. They just want to process to proceed according to law to insure that those who do come in can be successfully assimilated and be a benefit to the country.

America was indeed built by immigrants, but they were legal immigrants. Our forefathers did not break existing law to come here.

Those who break existing law to enter the country are not legal immigrants, nor can they be considered immigrants when the law of the country says it is illegal for them to be here.

The comeback on this is the illogical statement that “there is no such thing as an illegal person.”

The implication is that the right is saying that it is illegal to be a person which is just plain silly. No one thinks this.

On the other hand, if a person breaks the law he is then an illegal person, meaning he is a person doing something illegal. A burglar or even someone speeding is an illegal person in that area of activity until he gets his case settled with the State.

Anyone breaking our laws is an illegal where that particular activity is concerned.

This requires such simple logic that it should not have to be addressed, but unfortunately it does.

So what are the real views of the typical person on the right when the distorted labels are stripped away?

I’ll give my views which represent many on the right.

I am pro immigration but want it done according to law. Negating law is a very dangerous avenue to pursue, as where does it end? If we say we can disregard immigration law and get away with it then we can do this with other laws we may not like because we feel personally justified. This would lead to chaos.

Now some conservatives do not pay taxes because they do not agree with tax law or outright reject it. They are equally misled. If everyone can merely obey the laws with which they agree, and break all the others, it wouldn’t be long before the country would be destroyed and controlled by pirates and roving gangs.

It is called “law and order” for a reason because without law there is no order.

I am happy to welcome legal immigrants who want to come here and assimilate. Many of them appreciate our country more than we who were born here.

If the majority are not happy with current immigration law then it should be revised to represent the will of the people. But whether we retain existing law or create new law such law needs to be respected and enforced, else we will not have order for there is no orderly society without law.

It is true that some laws are too strict and others too lenient and adjustment is continually needed, but concerning this DK says:

“The final postulate which I seek to emphasize is that the keeping of these three laws will lead necessarily to an urgent desire to keep the law of the land in which a particular soul has incarnated. That these man-made laws are inadequate I well know, and it is needless to point this out. They may be, and are, temporary and insufficient to the need. They may fail in their scope and prove inadequate, but they do, in a measure, safeguard the little feeble ones, and will be regarded therefore as binding upon those who are seeking to help the race. These laws are subject to change as the effect of the three great laws makes itself felt, but until they are wisely altered (and this takes time) they act as a brake on license and on selfishness. They may also work hardship. This none can deny. But the hardships they bring are not so evil in their nature nor so lasting in their effects as would be the result of their removal and the consequent inauguration of a cycle of law-less-ness. Therefore, the server of the race cooperates with the laws of the land in his daily life, working at the same time for the removal of the injustices they may produce and for the bettering of the legal impositions upon mankind in his country.

In the recognition of these four laws,—of Rebirth, of Love, of the group, and of the Land,—we shall see the salvation of the race.

Esoteric Psychology, Vol 1, Page 303

This statement reflects some good common sense of which some who tread the path need to be reminded.

Walls and Borders, Part 6

Walls and Borders, Part 6

Racism and Nationalism

Let us move on to Argument Two

“Those who support a wall are racist and do not want people of a darker skin living in the country.”

This race card is a disingenuous source of attack pulled out way too often and with no justification.

Both the left and the right have participated in creating our legal immigration laws and policies and there is nothing in them that reflect racism, or discrimination because of race.

The latest poll (Jan 13, 2019) available at the time of this writing was commissioned by ABC News and the Washington Post. It reveals that 42% of the population support building a wall.

Now think a moment. Can anyone really rationally believe that 42% of the population is so racist that they want a wall built just so people from other races cannot come into the country? This thinking is just plain silly, especially when you realize that this poll tells us that 22% of non whites support the wall. Are they racists against themselves?

Here is the interesting part. Among the 54% who oppose the wall 9% see the border problem as a crisis situation and an additional 47% see it as a serious problem. So, 56% of the 54% who do not support a wall still see the border as a serious problem that needs additional controls. They just figure there are other solutions better than a wall.

56% of the 54% equals an additional 30%. Add that to the 42% who support a wall and you have a total of 72% of the population who want extra controls at the border, be it a wall or some other method, to control the inflow of people into the country.

Do 72% of the population desire more border control because they are racist? No one in their right mind can believe this.

So, why do 72% of the population want more secure borders? The answer is simple and it has nothing to do with race. There are three main concerns.

(1) We are limited in the number of people we can assimilate without overtaxing our resources.

(2) We want to screen the people to weed out potentially harmful people such as criminals and terrorists.

(3) We want to make sure they support our country’s laws and ideals of freedom and justice and will not be subversive to our way of life.

We have two groups of people attempting to get in the country. One has legally applied and waiting in line and the other attempts to forcefully cross the border and ignores the law.

Which group deserves the priority?

The answer is obvious and again race has nothing to do with this for both groups are of the same racial mixture.

Argument Three:

“Those who support stronger borders are nationalists, and nationalism is just plain wrong. Spiritual teachers, and particularly DK, are against nationalism.”

Like racism, the idea of nationalism is used as a label to sidestep the reasoning process and used merely as a tool to defeat an opposing view. If you do not like the other guy’s thinking just call him a nationalist or racist, and if the label sticks then no additional thinking or discussion is necessary. It is then concluded that anything that comes out of the guy’s mouth is tainted and not to be trusted no matter how logical it seems. This is similar to the approach of the member of a fundamentalist religion who labels someone as being in league with the devil or evil spirits. Nothing such a person says can be trusted in their view.

A nationalist is simply someone who loves their country and desires to put its needs first above that of other competing countries.

Therefore a nationalist would do the following:

He would try to feed the hungry in his country first, figuring other countries will be doing the same with their own people.

He would seek to secure freedom and security in his homeland before that of others.

He would generally support his team in the Olympics above that of other nations.

Now such nationalistic support does not mean the guy is against helping other countries, but most figure they cannot be much good to the world if they at first do not take care of themselves.

For instance, on an individual level, if one neglects his health he loses power to help others and can wind up being a burden instead. Each of us must put our health first else we may have no power to help others.

So, if nationalism is harmless and in many cases helpful, why did DK and others who are enlightened speak against it?

Again, one must read more than out of context quotes here for as DK wrote most of his thoughts on this as we were in a life and death struggle against the extreme nationalism of Germany during World War II. He appropriately condemned their extreme nationalism, materialism and selfishness, but did not condemn all nationalism. Instead, he said there were two forms of nationalism. One is good and the other not so much.

Concerning the bad nationalism he says:

“First, there is the spirit of nationalism with its sense of sovereignty and its selfish desires and aspirations. This, in its worst aspect, sets one nation against another, fosters a sense of national superiority and leads the citizens of a nation to regard themselves and their institutions as superior to those of another nation; it cultivates pride of race, of history, of possessions and of cultural progress and breeds an arrogance, a boastfulness and a contempt of other civilizations and cultures which is evil and degenerating; it engenders also a willingness to sacrifice other people’s interests to one’s own and a basic failure to admit that “God hath made all men equal”. This type of nationalism is universal and everywhere to be found and no nation is free from it; it indicates a blindness, a cruelty and a lack of proportion for which mankind is already paying a terrible price and which will bring humanity down in ruins if persisted in.”

So this negative nationalism goes beyond self interest to great selfishness, denial of equal rights and a feeling of superiority leading to contempt for others.

But then he tells us there is a good nationalism. He states:

“There is, needless to say, an ideal nationalism which is the reverse of all this; it exists as yet only in the minds of an enlightened few in every nation, but it is not yet an effective and constructive aspect of any nation anywhere; it remains still a dream, a hope and, let us believe, a fixed intention. This type of nationalism rightly fosters its individual civilization but as a national contribution to the general good of the comity of nations and not as a means of self-glorification; it defends its constitution, its lands and its people through the rectitude of its living expression, the beauty of its mode of life and the selflessness of its attitudes; it does not infringe, for any reason, the rights of other people or nations. It aims to improve and perfect its own mode of life so that all in the world may benefit. It is a living, vital, spiritual organism and not a selfish, material organization.

Problems of Humanity, Page 88-89

This enlightened nationalist still focuses first upon his own country, but not so he can feel superior but to make the greatest possible contribution to the planet. In doing this he says country still “rightly fosters its individual civilization” and “defends its constitution, its lands and its people,” but without infringing on the rights of others.

I see myself in this second category, as I do not have a feeling of superiority about being a U.S. citizen, but want my country to do well and defend its Constitution and Bill of Rights. I value the freedom and prosperity here and desire to share it with the rest of the world. But like individual humans, if we do not look after our interests and become ill then we could lose our power to assist other nations.

Yes, there are many selfish nationalists in all nations, but there are also good ones who want their nation to thrive so they cannot only help themselves, but the world.

As it is the word “nationalist” has been promoted as an evil label to describe political opponents as racists, haters, selfish and evil. Such approach does not exist on the path of return. We are all brothers and sisters in the same boat and the time is overdue that we focus on goodwill and unity rather than division through distorted use of labels.
