Avatars, Decision and Judgment

It is always good to define terms to avoid confusion. When we talk of “the Avatar” we usually are referring to a great soul like the Christ or Buddha. They have a visible presence in the material world, but their consciousness is one with the spiritual realm.

However, an avatar in general is one who initiates some great change in this planet. Abraham Lincoln is an example. The founding Fathers are an example of a group of lesser avatars working together.

We are approaching a greater correspondence to the Founding Fathers. In this age we will have a group of avatars working worldwide in various degrees of activity. Some may even disagree with each other not realizing they are cooperating on a higher level.

To shed some further light on Decision I will make these comments.

For a decision to be a true decision it does not have to be in harmony with your higher self. The one great life has granted you the power to decide whether you are right or wrong. The only ones who fully realize the power of decision are the disciples of the Brotherhood of Light and also the disciples of the Dark Brotherhood. Both sides have great power because they understand this power.

The difference is this. The leaders of the dark brothers get their power by grabbing the power of decision to themselves as much as possible and the brothers of light get their power by teaching and encouraging the power of decision. Those who are not disciples on one of the paths make very small almost inconsequential decisions and merely react to decisions already laid down.

Hitler, for example, was a representative of the dark brothers, yet received great power because he understood decision. Few of those under him used decision, but reacted to decision. True decision requires great faith in yourself.

Decision is a neutral power, like money. It can be used for good or evil.

The power that can make one a God can also make one a devil.

“Choose you this day who you shall serve” is a true injunction. Eventually all are presented with two paths and we must make a decision with understanding. Only a small percentage of humanity see clearly enough to even make a decision concerning the paths.

When you choose the path, you become what you decide just as the great Life, the God of Moses, was in the process of “becoming.”

An avatar just does not wake up one morning and discover who he was. Take Buddha for instance. During the first third of his life he had no idea that he had any special mission. It wasn’t until he defied his dad’s orders and went out into the world of suffering that he even asked any questions.

Asking questions was his first step.

Next, he went out into the world and learned all he could from other teachers.

After that, he received a new revelation that was taught nowhere on the planet. It was at this point that he began to wonder who he was, but discovering who he was important after he first dedicated himself to world service.

We have no biblical proof of when Jesus discovered who he was, but I will tell you what I think. He fully realized it when he fasted for forty days. That is why he was driven into the wilderness with a fast. The mission he saw for himself was overwhelming and he was trying to fully comprehend it.

There are many out there today who believe that they are a Messiah or Avatar and are greatly deceived.

A true avatar does not go around telling everyone who he or she is. Those who are ready will discover the true identity through their souls. Even Jesus did not proclaim himself to be the Christ, but did acknowledge it to Peter after he received a revelation from “the Father.” Even after this he told Peter not to tell anyone who he was.

For a true servant the important thing is to have service to mankind circulated, not his greatness. The servant is even willing to miss out on any credit if that is helpful.

Question:  Why do the media and politicians only see reality as if it were wearing reverse image glasses, and resist good ideas that help the common man, as well as demonize any step forward?

As I  see it there is no organized conspiracy behind this approach, but the world, as a whole is astrally polarized, and those who see themselves as authorities receive a double portion. This especially applies to the media and politicians.

Astral consciousness automatically reverses truth and turns things upside down. Common people who are more detached from authority will often see things more correctly than the authorities who seek to be believed. They do not have as much astral energy reversing their vision and often have more access to mind and reason when it is presented to them.

This affects humanity as a whole to some degree, but those who are attached to authority are the most affected.

It is true the majority is all powerful and it is also true that those in power attempt to trick them into not believing or seeing this power in themselves.

It’s like when a man gets a lion trained through the use of strong authority, that authority convinces the lion that the trainer is stronger than the lion. This is illusion because he is not.

The majority is like a lion sleeping among its trainers. When they become aware of their strength they can take command at any moment.

Politicians think about the majority around election time and when the majority makes its wishes felt. All other times they try and ignore them and concentrate on their own little wills.

Going back to the Bible again. The “Judges” in the days of Moses were called Gods, Eloheim, the same title as given to the maker of heaven and earth. This is because they judged and made decisions.

Keep in mind that the middle way cannot be found through a black and white formula. The midway point between the swings of a pendulum is slightly different from the point of rest when the pendulum is still because each swing as a little different arc as it is slowed down by friction. Just as the middle point between the swings is close to the point of stillness so is the correct path usually one of moderation. But keep this in mind, Correspondences are not always exact, only guides. There are times that the middle way will be an extreme. There is no written law to find it. The only way to find it is to contemplate what you find without – with the chords of your soul and make a judgment. After you have made a judgment and a decision to follow that judgment the exactness of the middle way will be revealed as a point of precise truth.

There are two types of judgments.

The first is the limiting judgment. This is where the person makes an assumption about another that is less than the highest that the other person believes of himself. Then this person will attempt to convince him and others that his limiting judgment is true. This type of judgment can discourage the aspiring soul from fulfilling his dream and should be avoided. This type of judgment is condemned in all inspired writings.

The second judgment involves discernment. The seeker looks at both sides of a situation, absorbs all the facts available and then makes a judgment as to what is correct or the best course of action.

One of the main differences between the two judgments is that the first limits and causes action to cease whereas the second expands and causes action to increase.

Unfortunately, mankind does not discern between the two judgments and lumps them together under the “do not judge” idea.

The first judgment is used by the dark brotherhood and the second is used by the brotherhood of light to manifest the powers of God within them. However, you will find that you will be greatly criticized by many around you when you use your true powers of judgment and decision.

When you hear the words “Who do you think you are?” then you will know you are on the right track.

To fully use the Godly power of decision true judgment must precede it or the decision will be quite random.

The present is the now, the here, through which all future plunges to the past. —James Joyce

The Seed and the Tree

Question: How is it that the great minds who have initiated the various religions and spiritual movements do not agree? Take reincarnation, for example, some teach for it, some against and others ignore it.

JJ: The important thing to understand is the Plan is much different than generally perceived. The Plan can be likened to the mustard seed and the tree. Long ago the seed was planted in the hearts and minds of mankind and now it has sprouted and broken ground and is struggling to survive in sunlight. Before the tree is fully formed the cells in its body look upon it and form incorrect conclusions as to how it is developing and what it will look like when mature. The seed, the sprout and the young plant know not their full destiny, but they can guess with more accuracy as they develop and time moves forward.

Revelation does not tell us with pinpoint accuracy all the ingredients of the Plan. Instead, it gives the seer the vital force necessary for the next step forward in growth and in that growth will come additional light.

As the plant grows the only thing that stays the same is change, yet within that state of flux are operating principles that are endless and ever true.

Joseph Smith was told the principle of unfolding revelation as follows:

“Behold, I am God and have spoken it; these commandments are of me, and were given unto my servants in their weakness, after the manner of their language, that they might come to understanding. And inasmuch as they erred it might be made known;” D&C 1:24-25

As the wisest among us grow in understanding, the light from God shines through the soul upon our minds. Because the Plan is not fully developed that understanding must foment in our minds and then be expressed in our own understanding according to our imperfections.

This is why Verse 25 reads: “And inasmuch as they erred it might be made known;”

In the growing stage it is impossible to not make errors for revelation is always incomplete and thus understanding is incomplete.

BUT understanding and revelation is ever unfolding and the scriptures are correct when they say we will eventually see as in the perfect day.

Many acorn seeds with the same built-in plan produce a wide variety of trees. Some taller, some wider, some stronger and some with more acorns than others. Yet the basic plan for them and their final maturity is the same.

Even so, each prophet, seer and master teacher will teach differently. Each will also have their consciousness centered on a different part of the growth, but all will have their attention on growth. They may not understand exactly where that growth will lead, but know this:  Growth is where they know they must proceed with all their strength.

For those of you seeking to establish soul contact the above paragraph is a major hint.

Some teachers did not teach reincarnation because they did not comprehend that part of the plan. Others did not teach it because they felt it would not be accepted. Still others did not teach it because they felt multiple chances would lead people into complacency.

Just as many branches of a tree all have their place, yet are seeking their own space in which to move and grow, even so do human leaders all move and teach a little differently in their own sphere.

Why was the teaching of reincarnation lost to the Christian church? Many early church fathers accepted it and used scriptural support for the doctrine. But when the church Fathers put the Bible together, they took many plain and precious truths out. One of these was reincarnation.

Question: “So was Mormonism created to just be a higher step that people could reach to before stepping up again?”

JJ: Mormonism was the last inspired work of the Piscean Age.

The building of the church was attempted in the days of Peter and fell short of perfection. This was the Alpha. Again it was attempted at the end of the age and an attempt was made at greater perfection. This is the Omega. This was not perfect either but it will have a strong influence on millions for some time to come.

Now we are entering the Aquarian Age and a new work will be attempted for those who are ready. It will be as different from the Christian church as a leaf is different from a branch. Even so, both are essential parts of the whole.

Question: “You speak of ‘a new work’ — and how ‘it will be as different from the Christian Church as a leaf is different from a branch.’

“Are you speaking of; or did you intend to speak of religion as a whole, or just ‘the Christian Church’?”

JJ: I was speaking of the new spirituality, which will evolve among humanity as a whole. In the coming age different branches of Christianity and Islam will still be around just as the pre Piscean religions of Judaism, Buddhism and Hinduism are still around.

But the evolving new religion which will prefer to not identify itself as religion, but spiritual, will develop through the mass consciousness of those who are Aquarian thinkers. They, as a group, will not be any organized religion (though there will be organizations within it), but will, as a whole, recognize certain ascertained truths of unity. Just as people of all religions, even atheists, celebrate Christmas, even so will the people of the new spirituality see the value of uniting under various celebrations, holidays, teachings, ceremonies, etc.

I’m not talking about the Molecular Relationship here as this, and many other things, will evolve out of the new spirituality.

The new work includes many of the things I teach as well as many other things that will evolve through the new spirituality.

Question: Are we going to go beyond that which the master teachers of the past have given us?

JJ: None of the past masters and teachers were able to get the whole plan working for the whole plan is not yet here. The successful ones were able to produce additional growth toward the sunlight (son-light). Many teachers have got enough of their portion of the Plan working to produce growth and that is to be counted as success.

We can look back on the ancient Israelites and see their animal sacrifices and wars of extermination as primitive but they had success according to the growth that was needed at that point in development.

The Founders [of The USA] did not eliminate slavery, but they planted the seeds of growth that took us out of it.

Only the generation (and a few of the wise in the present) that experiences the growth of the times can understand correctly.

Early in the womb we looked like tadpoles and had tails. Whatever we did with those tails had meaning then, but not much now.

Question: How do I distinguish between that which is a simple change and that change which results in positive growth? Or is it a simple matter of evaluate as much as you can but ultimately you must just ‘try it and see’?

JJ: Ultimately it comes down to discernment and judgement. Fortunately, we have within us the sense as to whether we are just going through mindless change or real growth. All we have to do is pay attention to our sense of it. Just as one does not need any special ability to recognize whether he is rising up or sitting down he can sense his inner growth. As long as the person always goes with the growth he will eventually arrive at soul contact that he can understand.

Children have neither a past nor a future. Thus they enjoy the present, which seldom happens to us. —Jean de La Bruyere

Decision, Our Ultimate Power

Many decisions are based on programming. From a higher point of view these are not decisions at all but are reactions to a decision made by someone else. All motion is the result of some decision somewhere, but where the decision originated is not always obvious.

Genesis 3:3-4 & 22 makes an interesting statement”

“Behold, the man is to become as one of us, to know good and evil….”

Let us alter this slightly to:

“Behold, the man is to become as one of us, having the power to DECIDE what is good and what is evil.”

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

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

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

A reader asks: “Is ultimate righteousness repression or expression of the lower?”

I’ll give you my answer. The lower passions are a part of ourselves as well as the higher. They should never be suppressed or denied, but should be directed to full, but harmless, expression under the guidance of the higher self.

I hope you read the verses in Genesis I quoted. They hint at a great truth. The full power to decide good and evil — and other things will make you as the gods. In fact the word “Elohim” that is translated God in the Bible is actually plural in the Hebrew. That’s why the Elohim said “Let US create man…” and “The man is to become as one of US.”

A God among the ancients was one who realized his oneness with The One Great Life.

Letting God come into your life and make decisions for you is a step above not recognizing a divine power. All the Fundamental Christians use this process and it is helpful.

But the much greater realization is realizing your oneness with God and when you merge your consciousness with that of the Spirit then your decisions are divine.

The key is to separate yourself from the illusion that you (generic you) are the decision maker when in reality you may be just following some real decision maker. Few people make decisions that really shape their destiny. Instead, they are waiting for either signs from God or someone with authority to tell them what to do.

Perhaps the greatest hint for the full realization of this key is the words of God to Moses when Moses asked God who he was. He said:

“I am becoming that which I DECIDE to become.”

In other words, God would not tell Moses who he was because he is in the constant activity of deciding who he is and tomorrow he will be different than he is today. That is why the revelation of God and the Masters of the race is different in each age. That is why the scriptures say “Behold I make all things NEW.”

The greater the life, the greater the power of decision and the more lives that decision will affect.

A reader suggests this: “There ought to be a collection of testimonial statements about your book, arranged into categories:

“(1) Amazing Spiritual Experiences

  (2) Correlating Witnesses

  (3) Endorsing Statements”

JJ: I wish I had saved all the comments that I have received relating unusual or spiritual experiences. I received the most shortly after I published the first book, for that had the most sales. I received a quite a few of private letters from people relating their experiences over the years. There was an amazing number of people who mysteriously heard bells or encountered a mysterious stranger.

Then over the years I have received some odd ones from people who think they were someone important in a past life wanting me to follow them. These past lives range from Jesus to John, to Paul to John the Baptist to Joseph Smith. The Joseph Smith guy was particularly upset at me for not following him and condemned me to hell.

I was glad that Cheri had a spiritual experience after reading Book Four as the grand tour was one of my favorite parts to write. A number of people have expressed intense feelings over the part where I am instructed to bless the universe.

I have also received a lot of comments from people who have had spiritual experiences from saying the Song of the 144,000, even some ministers using it with their flock.

Sometimes I have believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast. —Lewis Carroll

What is a Disciple?

A student writes: “In your original comment you used the word ‘disciple(s).

“While I understand that Initiates are not necessarily to be thought of as being particularly ‘religious,’ I have found that the word ‘disciple” does carry with what I would consider to be a high level of ‘spirituality’ (versus religiousness) with it.

“In your response you now switch to referring to these people as Initiates and not Disciples — and I believe you have already identified these two before as Initiates.

“So what the IS the differences and similarities between a Disciple and an Initiate? Or is there any? As in are the terms completely interchangeable?”

JJ: Every disciple is an initiate to some degree but not all initiates are disciples dedicated to the light, for some are attempting to initiate plans that will further the dark side as Hitler did.

Loosely speaking a disciple in the light is one who is dedicated to moving ahead a portion of the plan that will bring advancement and evolution to humanity.

In an esoteric sense all true disciples are spiritual but from the viewpoint of the public they are not. Lincoln was criticized for not being spiritual because he did not belong to a church and he was always telling jokes and stories that were considered crass for his time, but now looks like stories out of a Normal Rockwell neighborhood.

Winston Churchill, another disciple, was criticized for not being spiritual as he drank, smoked and also told irreverent stories. He also had to make tough decisions during a war that cost many lives.

There are very few true disciples who are spiritual in the normal sense. The only one who comes to mind was Mother Teresa. The reason for this is true disciples ignore what others say about what they should spiritually be and concentrate on the work to be done. True work that moves humanity ahead is often seen as an annoyance by the public and not as something spiritual.

DK also uses the word disciple loosely. At one point he says this: “for all are disciples from the humblest aspirant up to, and beyond, the Christ Himself.”

Then other times he speaks of “an accepted disciple” as one who has passed the third initiation.

Thus in speaking of disciple one must always look at the context in which it is used.

This system of teaching by hints is designed to make you struggle and contact energies that have hitherto been dormant. It will increase your power of intuition and because of the stimulation you may find yourself receiving much more on unrelated topics at unexpected moments.

Do not fear being worthy. Contemplate this statement from “A Course in Miracles”:

“I Am as God created me.”

As you merge with your true self you will find yourself thinking things that may seem arrogant but always remember to trust that which comes from within you. The more you trust it the more you will be tempted from those on the outside to not trust.

The power of decision is shared by both your lower and higher selves. It uses your vehicles, but is not your vehicles. Every possible source will try and take this power away from you. It is a power we must regain. Many people think they are making their own decisions when they are merely following the dictates of some authority. The only way we truly make our own decisions and become masters of our destinies is to merge with the still small voice within and follow it. Then you can become that which your true consciousness decides to become.

Thanks for the birthday wishes, my friends, and a special thanks to a member for taking the time and thought to write a poem for little ole me.

I indeed recall the first time I heard the song by the Beatles — “When I’m Sixty-Four.” At that time 64 seemed a long way away. I’m sure it also seemed a long way away for Paul McCartney who sang it. Now I am sixty-four (in 2009) it indeed forces the truth upon my consciousness that one lifetime is not really that long. My life so far in a way only seems like an extended dream having only a tiny amount of the experiences available. We would all indeed be shortchanged if there were only one life as taught by orthodox religions.

I was asked if the baptism of fire is associated with discipleship. I wasn’t attempting to say that the experience of the baptism of fire indicates that one is an accepted disciple. To receive the fire of the Spirit one must be open as a child and of pure heart at the moment of the witness.

What I was saying is that a true disciple will stimulate others in the direction of this experience. Just as signs will follow those who believe, even so will the spirit follow those who teach by the Spirit.

Question: I always wondered about this scripture and, since I’m on a roll asking questions, what do you think about this scripture?

“Wherefore, I will that all men shall repent, for all are under sin, except those which I have reserved unto myself, holy men that ye know not of.” D&C 49:8

JJ: I have written about this several times. Here is a quote from my book, “The Gathering of Lights”:

“This Master (DK) works in close connection with Koot Hoomi as well as Master Morya and all three of them are in close association with the Christ. They are all ‘resurrected beings,’ using Christian terminology. In esoteric language they are referred to merely as “the Masters” or the ‘Masters of Wisdom.’“

“A revelation given to Joseph Smith once hinted at these associates

‘Wherefore, I will that all men shall repent, for all are under sin, except those which I have reserved unto myself, HOLY MEN THAT YE KNOW NOT OF.’ Doctrine & Covenants 49:8)

“These holy men that the world and even many prophets knew not of were the Masters. There are many Masters, but the three mentioned above are of the most important from our point of view. Koot Hoomi is next in line to take over the position of The Christ in about a thousand years from now when the present Christ will move on to other work. These three men have known each other from many lifetimes and were the three wise men from the East who presented gifts to the Christ child. They understood the mission of Christ much better than His twelve apostles and helped to surround the babe with a protective aura in the first few years of his life.”

From The Gathering of Lights, Chapt 10, The 3 Revelations)

Question: “Finally, I’m curious about this scripture; keys by which Hyrum may ask and receive? What’s this?

“God, speaking of Hyrum Smith said, (D&C 124:95) ‘That he may act in concert also with my servant Joseph; and that he shall receive counsel from my servant Joseph, who shall show unto him the keys whereby he may ask and receive, and be crowned with the same blessing, and glory, and honor, and priesthood, and gifts of the priesthood, that once were put upon him that was my servant Oliver Cowdery;’

“So is this an ordinance like bowing to the East three times and speaking two special holy words or what? There is much in scripture that gets your curiosity going but does not fulfill it.”

JJ: The Key here is to be linked to one who is linked to the Holy Spirit. Where two or more people are gathered unto Christ there He will be in the midst of them. Oliver Cowdrey severed his relationship with Joseph and was on his own. He was not linked with anyone else to work this principle. Hiram was in great harmony with Joseph who was sensitive enough to receive revelation. This union caused Hiram to share Joseph’s light and Joseph could also share his.

This principle can work to some degree on the internet but the flow is much increased with personal contact.

Our latest moment is always our supreme moment. Five minutes delay in dinner now is more important than a great sorrow ten years gone. —Samuel Butler

Recognizing an Avatar

I was emailed an interesting question and since the answer is of some importance, I shall post it for all. The question: “How will a person know when they meet an avatar?”

It is easy to recognize an avatar after he has been dead for a few years, but they are difficult to appreciate while they are yet alive. One who many recognize as a great avatar was the Christ, yet despite all the miracles and great teachings he had only 120 followers when he was crucified (according to the Book of Acts).

Often when I meet a religious zealot I explain this to him and ask if he thinks he would have been one of those 120 had he lived in the days of Jesus. Always the answer is an emphatic yes. For some reason people think that Jesus would have had some “goody-goody glow” around him so it would have been obvious who he was, but such was not the case.

Even John the Baptist, who received a spiritual confirmation from the voice of God doubted that his cousin Jesus was the Christ and, while in prison, sent his followers to ask Jesus for another confirmation.

Mohammed struggled for many years before anyone recognized that he was a teacher of any kind.

Let us take a look at another great avatar, a racial avatar — Abraham Lincoln. Half of the people in these great States wanted him dead and eventually succeeded in assassinating him. Even after he was elected president, his cabinet did not have much faith in him and wanted him to become a shadow president and leave the decision making to them. Fortunately, Lincoln stood his ground.

Lincoln seemed too much like a regular guy to be a great leader or teacher. His speech was not polished. He sounded more like a blacksmith telling stories at times than a distinguished president.

Now he is long gone historians rate him the greatest of our presidents, but few contemporaries thought he was much above average.

On the other hand, those who are the opposite of avatars often come along speaking what the people want to hear and are temporarily accepted as great teachers or leaders. Hitler is the prime example. Chamberlain, the Prime minister of England who was praised for selling out to Hitler is another.

There are false leaders in the world today who are praised by many, but I will not name them. Wait another 100 years and I will not have to.

To recognize a true server of humanity you cannot rely on what seems to be. You must achieve soul contact and recognize them through the soul. This is the only way to tell for sure. You cannot tell by signs and wonders although they may be present in the true avatar. They were with Jesus, but were not so much with Buddha.

The words of the New Testament are the surest Guide. We are told that we can recognize the Christ because he will baptize “with fire and the Holy Spirit.”

Those few who did recognize Jesus felt the fire of the spirit burn within them verifying to them that a greater light had arrived.

The baptism of fire has never left the earth, but few have felt it and most who claim to have merely felt a high emotional energy from their own solar plexus. The solar plexus energy is very deceitful and clouds reality, whereas the baptism of fire reveals reality.

We are living in an age when a number of advanced disciples are preparing to make their presence felt. There are four that are in the news on a regular basis, but few would be able to name them.

Unless a person achieves true soul contact, he would be unable to recognize Christ, if he were to show up, as anything other than a troublemaker just as the masses did last time.

Comments to Readers

As we go through a long series of lives we do go to both extremes. One life a person may be a nun and in the next a prostitute. Slowly we learn that neither truth nor satisfaction is found in a reflex move to the other side and we start looking in the middle somewhere.

In a way words are concretized images and from an esoteric point of view an image is a word. We are handicapped to a degree by having to communicate on more of a sound level than a light level.

A reader fulfilled the goal of The Keys when he says that he already knew that Decision makes one powerful, but now the realization is sharpened, perhaps enhanced. You will know a certain amount about most of The Keys, but the goal is not to teach black-and-white facts, but to bring greater understanding. By throwing you back upon your own soul only higher realization can result.

I once took a metaphysical course through the mail and every time I asked a question the teacher merely said, “look upon your own soul.” On the other extreme, this was a cop out. I knew he kept telling me this because his understanding was not great enough to give a hint or an answer. I eventually found answers to most of my questions, but it would have been speeded up if I could have been guided in the right general direction.

I hope I can be to you what others have not been to me. This is not entirely unselfish of me. After a certain degree of service we are promised a greater revelation. If mankind were left to entirely unselfish motives then nothing would get done.

A reader commented on spiritual books  she enjoyed to  which I responded.

I somewhat enjoy Joseph Campbell, but don’t get a lot of inspiration from him.

I have studied “The Keys of Enoch” considerably. I am always interested in books that claim to be a revelation. Usually, I can make a judgment immediately. Take the Urantia Book, Oasphe, Creme, Twitchell or Summit Light House. It didn’t take long for me to give them a thumbs down. If the Keys of Enoch is a fabrication it is a good one. I do not put a lot of faith in it however, because I don’t feel the “flashing forth” of the intuition that Djwhal Khul talks about.

I have studied the Bible quite thoroughly as well as some other scriptures including the writings of Joseph Smith and other inspired writings of the world. Have your read the Book of Mormon? Few Mormons understand or appreciate it. I believe the sequel to it will be the history of Atlantis. I think there is a lot more light in the Bible than most New Agers give it credit for.

I have studied Alice A. Bailey quite thoroughly. I look forward to studying them quite a bit more.

I have found only a few books I think are really inspiring. One that really inspired me was The Aquarian Gospel of Jesus Christ, and A Course in Miracles is definitely from a high intelligence.

The future belongs to those who live intensely in the present. —Anonymous

Working with the Soul

I was asked about our higher and lower selves?

There is a part of yourself that is a Master on its own plane and exists beyond time and space. In a way it is like your future self after it has mastered all things. Imagine that you could meet yourself one million years in the future. Just think how intelligent you would be!

Your lower self expresses itself through the three lower bodies of form called the physical, emotional and mental. There are three higher correspondences of these bodies possessed by your higher self in the formless worlds.

Have you ever felt a high emotional feeling when contemplating spiritual truth that seemed to be a much higher vibration than regular emotion? This could have originated from your higher emotional body. Your lower body would still be affected but there will be a spiritual feeling associated with it that seems like a feeling of going to your true home.

Have you ever had knowledge come to you that you have never read? It could come from your higher mind.

The sixth sphere is the Monad or your true self. We are in relation to our monad as a shadow is in relation to us, except the plan of the monad is to give eternal life to the shadow as an extension of the God Self.

Communication between higher and lower selves is done through soul. Soul is the interplay of spirit and matter, but it is neither of them. Soul brings knowledge of matter to spirit and knowledge of spirit to matter. Soul is often used interchangeably with the higher self, but technically it is the link to the highest part of ourselves.

The higher Self is linked to the Monad and the Monad is one of the multiplications of God and has access to all that God has access to.

The concepts I have posted here are either verified by my soul, sent from my soul or sent through my soul and communicated to the best of my ability. . I am not connected with any group and am not under the influence of any thought form.

We have more channelers out there today than in perhaps any other age, yet so much of the information is from the emotional body and based in glamour and illusion. Many of the things that seem good are copied from other inspired writings without giving the appropriate credit to their source. I have been impressed through my soul to teach others how to contact soul and Spirit so they can know all truth for themselves and do not have to lean on the traditions of men. There are certain simple steps to take to make true contact, but it is amazing to me how the bulk of humanity will make every effort to avoid those steps and thus be deceived by the first personality guru who comes along.

I was asked of what other points of contact have been made by the Brotherhood of Light since H.P. Blavatsky, the founder of Theosophy.

As far as writings go a particularly inspired piece of work was given to Levi after the turn of the century called The Aquarian Gospel of Jesus Christ.

The next major revelation was given to Alice A. Bailey by the Master Djwhal Khul (D.K. for short) a disciple who works directly under the Christ and is sometimes called the messenger boy of the Gods since he is only several hundred years old in his current body. Alice A. Bailey received DK’s writings by mental telepathy and wrote around 20 transmitted books and several of her own. These books have plenty of esoteric information and hints to keep us busy until after 2025 when the Hierarchy will speak again. The period in between is a period of revelation and transmittal of revelation.

An inspired work the world knows about since Alice A. Bailey is “A Course In Miracles” said to be transmitted by Jesus. This definitely came  from a higher intelligence and has much food  for thought.

Outside of these there is a little truth given out here and there by numerous individuals who have made soul contact, but mixed with it is a tremendous amount of shadowy material. Only those who are in the soul will be able to sort out the real from the unreal.

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

Many of the disciples of light who were put to death for conspiring against Hitler have been reborn for the purpose of finding each other and preparing the work for the return of the Christ. Unfortunately, many are having difficulty working through the negative experience of being forced to serve under Hitler. This has produced a cloud between them and the Son of God within. Therefore, many disciples who jumped right back into incarnation for the sake of service have fallen behind and are caught in various traps and do not trust completely in the mission they feel within themselves.

Part of my job (and others) is to find these souls and help them find themselves and dispel the negative cloud between them and their souls.

In addition, there are many other workers of light who have been sidetracked by the dark brotherhood in other lands. This is the reason why there are so few inspired leaders in the world today. Those who are destined to be the true leaders of humanity are tired and weary and have been sleeping on the job. It is now time for them to awake and follow the voice within one more time, perhaps the most important time of all.

Cheri makes an interesting comment:

“I almost never post but thought I’d share an experience I had last night. I finally made time to read “Eternal Words” yesterday.

  “After I read the part about the universe inside the toothpick I put the book down and tried to fall asleep. I loved that part of the book and it gave me a lot to think about that I had never thought about before. As I was lying there with my eyes closed meditating on what I had just read I started to see white light and bursts of blue also. Next, I felt my spirit ‘ball’ up at the top of my head like it wanted to burst out. I couldn’t move my body but I wasn’t scared. It felt like my spirit popped out of my body a little bit. Then it felt like my spirit went back into my body. My spirit then would float up and out of one limb at a time, and sometimes my whole lower body would float up. I felt attached at the head still. I felt so close to popping out of my body but it never completely happened. For what seemed like a long time I was alternating between balling up at the top of my head and floating out of my limbs.

  “After I woke up this morning I felt, and still feel, very tingly all over my body and through my cells. I also feel like my spirit is a little bit out of the top of my head and I feel like I’m walking around sideways and dizzy. I feel amazing. Very tired yet very energized (like what I feel like after I have a baby).

“That was an incredible experience, and I thought I’d share how your book “Eternal Words” affected me!

“Thanks for a great book JJ!”

JJ: Thanks for the comments.

Maybe you were on the verge of taking the grand tour or a portion thereof. Or maybe you were just receiving verification that a multiplicity of universes is inside of us.

The Pendulum

The evolution of mankind corresponds to the motion of a great pendulum. In the beginning the motion was small. Then it seemed as if a great force amplified its motion until the swing back and forth became very pronounced. Then there came a time of maximum swing and the general force of the pendulum began to subside.

There are two forces involved here. The first is the power that swings the pendulum itself. The second is the power of the swing from the right to left and left to right. Our little wills have little to do with the power that swings, but we directly participate in the swing itself.

Between the swings there is a midway point, the point identified with stillness, as if the pendulum were not in motion. The journeys of mankind with the force of the pendulum that goes to the left and the right are journeys into experience and illusion. The crossing of the midway point is the crossing of the middle way which is a point of truth which is always registered to some degree, but as humanity swings from the left to right and right to left they are taken away from the point of brightness until it is remembered with dimness. Then comes the time the great voice is heard: “O my people, You have forgotten your one true God. The time of passing over my face is come again. I call forth my servants to see the midway point and swing my people over the flash of light that will be seen.”

After the voice speaks those who register the voice go forth and grab hold of the force that is swinging to the right (or left) and with great effort, pain, joy and resistance reverse it and pull the people toward the Presence of the great Master. The swing is reversed according to the decree and the servants rejoice when the swing crosses the light, love and power of their Lord, but are saddened when the swing does not stop but continues until it reaches the other extreme.

The servants seem discouraged for a time and feel as if their efforts are in vain but at a point of darkness they hear their Lord again:

  “Well done my faithful servants. The force did not stop at my Presence on this swing, but notice that because of your efforts the swing is not as great now. Go and pull the swing back the other way now and then do it again. Each time the people pass by My Face the light will be a little clearer until the motion stops and all the sons of men and daughters of women will be still and know that I AM BECOMING through them and they are BEING through Me and our joy will be full.”

So it is that the beliefs of the people swing toward one extreme. Then the teachers of mankind realize that the other side is not being presented and teach the other extreme. In their life the teachers are persecuted and shunned but in their death they are remembered with great honor as the people seem to miss the point of truth again and swing to the other extreme.

For instance, Moses presented impossible black and white rules by which to serve God and Paul presented a simple “believe-and-be-saved” extreme. Both were great teachers, but both took mankind into great illusion on each extreme of the pendulum. This experience is necessary, however, because humanity as a whole, and as individuals, must go to the extremes time and time again before the point of truth in the middle can be accurately seen and appreciated.

The understanding of the second key is the understanding of how to find the midway point of truth in all things. With a physical pendulum finding the midway point seems easy. This point seems to be exactly between the two extremes. The true middle way is the eventual point whereon the pendulum will stop, but while it is  swinging what seems to be the midway point is an illusion. Let us say the swing is at only half way to the maximum on the right. This means that what seems to be the midway point is about 25% off the true midway point when the pendulum is stopped.

To find the true midway point we need to know where the current swing of  the pendulum is. Without this knowledge that which seems to be the middle may really be an extreme.

Look at society today.  Overall, has the pendulum swung to the left or the right? If so how much? What is the false and true middle way in our present time?

Who controls the past controls the future; who controls the present controls the past. —George Orwell
