Are Teachers Necessary?

 

Are Teachers Necessary?

I think it is dangerous to not accept the fact that there are valuable teachers. It can bring your progression to a snail’s pace. Where in the world do some readers get the idea that a teacher is in a “better than others” position. I have never got that impression from anyone who really taught me anything.

Do you read books?

Then you are letting the author be your teacher. You are certainly teaching him nothing. Is that bad? Of course not.

This prevalent belief that teachers are to be discounted is a New Age illusion that is hampering many.

I don’t see a lot of difference between learning from a book written by a human or learning from the book that is in the human, but not written down.

If one is teaching me and I am a student receiving, then there is merely knowledge dispersed human to human. One is the teacher and one is the student. Two cannot be teaching each other at the same time. The teacher often stimulates himself and learns while he is teaching however.

All of the masters taught with some hints and vagueness. Jesus said that the true meaning of his parables were hidden so the people would think they understood them, but in reality did not. This allows for contemplation so he who meditates and contemplates can have the inner meaning dawn on him in a way that would not happen if the full meaning was to be written out.

To be honest with you I have learned more from books than I have learned from living individuals. The basic reason is that one can find more intelligent people in books than one can find in the normal daily experience.

With live people there is interaction which is helpful. Otherwise, learning is learning.

Jesus himself knew that different people had different levels of understanding so he spoke in parables that required different levels of understanding. Here he explains from the book of Matthew:

10 And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables?

11 He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.

12 For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath.

13 Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.

14 And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive:

15 For this people’s heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.

16 But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear.

17 For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them. Matthew 13:10-17

Those who stayed with Jesus and sought the deeper meaning found it through interaction similar to the method used in teaching The Keys of Knowledge. To those who were not willing to contemplate and interact, the parables were vague and they saw only the surface meaning.

Correspondingly, They Keys of Knowledge has different levels of understanding.

The first key has a surface meaning so the average person will think he understands exactly what Decision is. In other words, he will think he sees, but sees not. (See Verse 13 above.) But just like the parables there is a deeper meaning that can be gained through interaction and contemplation.

I know that I have received a number of levels of understanding about the parables of Jesus through contemplation.

You say that you believe that when you are interacting with another you are both teaching and receiving at the same time in relation to him. I’ll bet that you cannot isolate an incident when such a thing happened because such an event is impossible. In any point in time you are either sending, receiving or neutral to another. You cannot do both at once. Now in an honest exchange the two take turns sending and receiving, but often during a heated argument both are sending and neither is receiving. You cannot send and receive at the same time.

A reader asked several questions about vibrations.

“What exactly is it that vibrates? Atoms? How fast do they vibrate.”

Atoms and molecules above the temperature of Absolute Zero do have vibration as do all objects of form. Atoms contain no solid matter and ultimately are created from wavelengths that are in vibration at just below the speed of light. There is other matter created from wavelengths vibrating beyond the speed of light that is beyond our detection.

The whole universe is created from connected wavelengths.

“How can we change vibration?”

The idea of changing vibration is largely illusion. When a person says something like: “My vibration has been raised.” what has really happened is that his consciousness has tuned into a higher vibration that has been there all along, but which he is now merely aware.

The key to shifting from one vibration to another is to use the power of consciousness to tune in as you do with a radio. Your favorite station is playing even if you have not tuned it in. The internet is here even if you have not logged on.

Science will make a quantum leap toward the discovery of spiritual energy in the next 100 years.

The Real Beginning

This entry is part 1 of 1 in the series Molecular Relationship

The Molecular Relationship
Chapter One
The Real Beginning

In the beginning there was Divine Space. That was not space as we know it, which is the distance between objects of form, for there was no form in which to occupy that space. Instead, that which was Divine Space had within it unlimited points with unlimited potential. We shall call these points zero points, or monads.

Though each monad was a zero, it had the potential of all numbers, not only positive numbers, but negative numbers as well as numbers extending in unlimited directions.

The numbers available in any direction are infinite though there is always a number. When that number is found, you can always add one so there is no such thing as an infinite number. Numbers can go toward the infinite in direction, but never arrive there.

We can thus say that in the beginning there were zero points beyond number in Divine Space with potential to extend themselves, composed of unlimited numbers interplaying in ways that are endless.

This natural interplay of the points and their numbers existed from eternity, producing a natural cause and effect. There was no first cause, for cause and effect always existed and always will be, just as the principles of mathematics were not created neither can they be destroyed.

As eternities passed, the interplay became more complex, generating numbers approaching infinity, but never reaching it. Numbers began repeating, not in random order, but intelligent order until many monads began to vibrate with intelligence and gained the light of understanding. As they gained intelligence, they began to realize they were not alone and formed relationships with other monads. It was discovered that each monad had many similarities to itself, but was composed of different formulas and number combinations. Each developed beautiful geometric sequences which displayed intelligence and light. As monads looked toward other monads, they developed a desire to share the light of understanding and, as this event progressed, love was born.

Love caused monads to be drawn to others with a similar light and geometric forms while appreciating those with subtle differences. It was discovered that merging with oneness of purpose created a greater whole that was shared by all involved. They were delighted to realize that this wholeness was greater than the sum of the parts. To their joy they realized that they could identify and use the assets of the whole and yet keep their individual life intact. They felt safe merging with the whole because there was no force to remain and all were free to withdraw at any time.

All the monads who had awakened began to merge together and form groups. It seemed to all that the number of groups was endless.

As the various groups advanced in light and love, they began to seek out other groups and merge with them. This merging caused each original group to take a quantum leap in awareness, light, love and power of mind. The advantages of merging into oneness and unity became so pronounced that further merging was sought until there were many millions of large groups of monads. The merging continued and the large groups combined into still larger groups until they could be counted by the thousands. These then merged until there were only hundreds and finally all the monads in the universe merged into twelve very large groups, each having their distinct beauty and power, but each with subtle, but wonderful differences.

These twelve groups, which consisted of all there is, sought an ultimate oneness through merging into one great and ultimate life. This idea had been resisted for eternities because if the One were to have even a simple flaw, it could become a problem for all the parts involved. As it was, if one of the twelve became out of tune in the slightest, the other eleven would act as a tuning fork to restore harmony. If all were only one, then there would be no corrective force possible. Therefore, the One had to be perfect, or flawless to the extent that corruption would be impossible.

The Twelve groups, which was composed of all the lives in the universe, thought long and hard about this final creation which they called The One. Though duality is always a universal potential, they sought to bypass its problems by making the One a completely positive creation that would yield only that which is desirable to the whole, and nothing that would be considered negative. The primary aspect agreed upon for The One would be Love. The One would love and share all with the responding monads, and in return the monads would naturally love The One.

In addition to love, The One would embrace all that was deemed good and positive such as peace, joy, desire to share and complete power to manifest its will to good. All these positive aspects would be eternally enhanced by the power to create. By endlessly seeking to create and expand all there is, The One would eternally have an increase in joy and fulfillment that would be shared by the Twelve and all the active monads within.

There always have existed an endless supply of inactivated monads within the universe and the Twelve saw that the fulfillment of creation would involve stimulating these zero points and causing them to vibrate with intelligence. They therefore endowed The One with a desire to eternally expand by giving birth to the zero points and bringing them into the life of The One.

The One was thus created to eternally create and always be in a state of expansion, enabling an eternal increase of love and joy.

Then there was one more and final ingredient seen to be necessary in the life of The One. They needed an insurance policy that The One would not deviate from the good, the beautiful and the true. To accomplish this, they created a standard for what would be viewed as true reality. Reality with the One would only consist of things eternal which are love, joy, peace, true knowledge and expansion, and anything contrary to these would not be real and thus without effect in the life of the One. If only that which is good would be incorporated into The One, then joining with The One would clear a path to the greatest possible heaven that all could enjoy forever and ever.

After an eternity of contemplation and interplay of the highest of intelligence, the Twelve decided to go ahead and merge so the Twelve could become The One and experience more than the sum of their parts, which they believed would be a positive experience beyond anything that had ever been available.

Finally, the merging came and the Twelve with their countless monads joined together to create The One. All involved focused only on the positive in this creation so nothing negative could disturb the peace of heaven.

This was their faith, but as they joined, they realized they were plunging into the unknown. Indeed, it was an unknown which held for them unlimited expansion and joy, but the full results were still unknown, and though all their expectations were positive, there crept in the smallest sliver of fear that was so subtle that it seemed to not exist. Nevertheless, it was there in the background and this was the thought that all tried to ignore. It went something like this:

“This is the final gathering of monads. Up to this point there has always been a new merging to be achieved, but now we are merging into one, this will be the end of this process. From now on joy will be found in the eternal expansion of The One. What if this does not turn out to be fulfilling for eternity? Could there be negative developments that we have not anticipated? What would we do then?”

These subtle questions were in the background of the many joining into one mind and gave rise to an aspect previously unknown. That aspect was fear.

Up to this point fear had never been experienced by any monad, for there had never been anything to threaten them, so when the seed of fear was planted, its existence was not even recognized. It was as if it did not exist, yet the seed of it came with the many when they merged into The One.

The Twelve with their monads moved forward and merged into the One Great Life. When completed, all there is was incorporated within it and there was nothing outside.

After the merging, The One became aware of Itself and all monads shared this awareness. It was an awareness and shared intelligence that was far beyond that experienced by any individual monad or group life. The new awareness, potential and intensity of life exceeded the hopes and dreams of the Twelve and their monads, and all saw the endeavor to be a complete success.

After creation of the One, all the monads could share with all other monads within the universe as well as sharing in the consciousness of The One Itself. In return, The One was aware of all the monads within It and took joy in sharing their love and interplay, as well as their appreciation for the high state of being the One brought to the many.

It seemed that an eternity passed in this condition until a new feeling developed in The One that no entity in the universe had ever felt before.

The One began to feel alone.

Yes, it was true that The One had within It many trillions of lesser lives, but there was no life in existence that was close to Its equal. All the monads within, and even the Twelve, had equals with whom to share, but there was no equal for The One. It was alone in the higher state of being and there was no other like Itself.

This feeling of being alone grew more intense and affected all the lives within. The perfect peace they experienced for eternity was no longer perfect. All monads began to feel what it must be like to be alone, and it was a disturbing feeling indeed, one that had not previously been realized to exist.

The feeling of aloneness continued and grew in strength until a point of tension was reached, and The One went into a state of great contemplation seeking a solution. It thought to Itself: “I was created to have all power, but to use it benevolently and in a state of love. If I have all power then I must have the power to end this state of being alone. What is the path that I must take?”

When this question was asked, it reverberated through all the lives within, small and great, and after much circulation a grand idea came into the awareness of All There Is. Its flashing forth brought an immediate increase of light, love and unlimited power.

All lesser lives absorbed the idea and trembled at its magnificence. They were in such a state of awe that they could only wait on The One to see what It would decide, for the decision could only belong to The One and The One alone.

Finally, The One did decide and communicated it with all the Intelligences within Itself.

“I have been alone since my creation, and for eternities have comforted myself by sharing my greater awareness and aspects with all of you. I have come to realize that my sharing has been limited and must now shift to the unlimited. I did not realize it before, but now understand that I have power to remove this final limitation. I will extend myself, and all that I AM, to each and every monad within me. Each of you will be in my likeness and image and all that I have shall be yours. You will be as I am and then I will not be alone, but will have unlimited lives in which to share on an equal basis. You, as a collective, created me, and I, as The One, will elevate each of you to be equal with me. I will return the favor and create you anew with unlimited power.

“After this you will duplicate your own creation and create others like us by sharing with the new monads coming into existence. As I will be a Father/Mother to you, you will be a Father/Mother to others, initiating a process which will continue forever and ever. No one will be alone in the joy of creation, for each will share with the whole, and as creation expands joy also increases eternally.”

After making a bold decision The One shared Itself with every intelligent monad, causing each one of them to be a new creation as a child of The One, with all the attributes, powers and qualities of The One. The many had become as The One. The only difference between the many and The One was that The One was the initial Creator and the many had been created anew.

We can call these new creations Children of the One, or the Sons of God, even though they are still monads. We use the term “Sons” not because of gender, for there was neither male or female, but because it is a modern term to identify the Christ of whom it is written as “being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God.” Phil 2:6

And this is held out to the rest of us, both males and females:

“Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.” I John 3:2

After the great transformation of all intelligent monads into equal Sons of God, they were encouraged by The One to be creators like Itself. This decree went forth: “Go forth my children as equals with myself and create. Stimulate the inactive monads and make of them a new creation as yourself. You will then become Father/Mother to them as I am with you, and the expansion of our universe and the fullness thereof will be greatly enhanced.”

The Sons of God then went forward as creators and gave birth to marvelous numbers of intelligent monads who also became creators.

For an eternity The One and generations of offspring dwelt together in perfect peace. The One now had equals with which to share and loneliness was no longer a problem. Love was greatly expanded, as The One saw great value in having offspring who were now Its equal. The elimination of loneliness caused The One to draw all the Sons, or offspring, tightly to Itself. As creation expanded, this magnetic power increased causing an everlasting increase in the sensation of love. This love was returned by the offspring and the circulation of this divinely intense positive feeling created a heavenly existence indeed, far surpassing anything that could be imagined by mortals upon the earth.

Through rounds of eternity the cycles of creation and expansion continued, resulting in an increase of light and love and power. This was indeed a heavenly existence, for the only feelings that existed were positive, always bringing joy and peace.

It is true though, that no matter how good a feeling is, or the quality of existence, after a time that which was once exquisitely wonderful becomes normal. We see this on earth with children who are born into homes of wealthy parents and are given everything. Then, after a time, many of these children break off from their parents seeking more than the everything the parents thought they were giving. Even so, in this heavenly existence where all the Sons of God had everything, that which was everything began to seem normal to many monads.

The idea that there was something desirable to experience that was not available to monads being an extension of The One was always in the background, but not entertained in thought as the immediate response from The One was: “With me you have everything that is positive that brings peace and joy. What could you possibly desire that is more than everything?”

For eternities this answer was sufficient, for the response of the Sons was, “This is correct. We do have everything and who could want more? Even if we did, there is no such thing as something that is more than everything.”

The stability of the Oneness continued until a thought occurred to one of the most ancient monads: “We have all united with The One and The One has shared all that It is with us. Because of complete sharing we all have identified with The One as if we are The One. Because of our union there seems to be nothing desirable outside The One, but what if there is?”

“What if there is?”

Since nothing can be hidden from The One, this question reverberated through the one mind of The One and was shared with all the monads. This was a thought not programmed into the mind of The One at its creation because the creators created The One to have everything and to be everything. The first reaction of the other monads was, “How did you come to ask a question outside the thoughts within the mind of The One, for Its thoughts include everything? There is no such thing as something beyond everything. That has been established and never challenged.”

The ancient monad replied, “I was thinking back to before we merged with The One and found it extremely difficult to think backward or forward to any instance outside the present mind of The One. I questioned as to why this was so difficult, for in our past, before we were with The One, we experienced individual thought. I wanted to experience that again and this seemed to happen in my imagination. During this process that required great effort on my part, the question arose – What if there is something to be desired outside The One? What if duality has something to offer that we have overlooked? What if the experience of the negative as well as the positive would lead to something desirable that cannot be obtained here where all is positive?”

The One listened and spoke: “With me you have everything that is real and eternal. The negative emotions do not exist here and are not real. If we were to embrace them, then heaven would no longer be heaven.”

The ancient monad replied. “Yes, we have everything desirable here, but what would it feel like to live in a separate universe where we do not have everything, but have to overcome our limitations? Would not that sense of overcoming produce a joy that we do not yet have here?”

The One replied, “The only way that could lead to an increase of joy is if you forgot who you are, for if you entered duality with your current powers you could return with the power of a thought and there would be no sense of accomplishment.”

The ancient monad acknowledged that this was correct. To obtain an increase in joy the element of risk would have to be involved. The monads would have to create a universe and enter it without a realization of their true identity as children of The One.

The ancient monad responded, “Sooner or later, all who would enter duality would come to realize they are one with You and then they would return. Some would just take longer than others.”

“There’s no guarantee of that,” said The One. “If you did not realize your true nature while in a universe of duality then you may be stuck there forever. Heaven would be missing you and the Sons who would go with you.”

The ancient one replied, “I think we would all eventually come to realize our true nature and overcome the limitations of duality. Imagine taking in all that duality has to offer and mastering it so one can then remain in the spiritual consciousness even in the midst of the negative. That would produce a joy of overcoming that we do not have here.”

“It is not worth the risk,” said The One. “You could wind up stuck in an eternal hell of being recycled into painful life after painful life with no end in sight.”

After this thought was expressed by The One, the issue seemed to be settled, but the idea of entering duality with its limitations continued to live, and many monads began to think upon it, gather together and share thoughts. This particular thought always seemed to surface: What would living in a universe of duality and limitation be like?

The more this question gained circulation the more that many monads began wondering whether they were missing something in their spiritual heaven. What would the joy of overcoming, despite limitations, feel like? If they did overcome and returned to heaven would heaven itself then be enhanced?

They wondered…

Their curiosity increased until many decided to use their powers of creation to make a simulated universe of time, space and limitation, similar to what a video game is in today’s world. However, this simulation was very vast and realistic except for one thing. Just like a game player in our world, they did not lose the memory of who they were. If disaster occurred there was no real pain, and if successful the feeling seemed to fall short of what it would feel like if the events were really happening.

As events progressed a large portion of the monads became restless with the peace of heaven and desired to have an adventure, even if it involved risk. Finally, the ancient monad representing the Sonship approached The One with a proposal.

“We of the Sonship appreciate our creation through You – especially the fact that you have shared with us all Your powers of positive creation. On the other hand, we have developed a great curiosity of what a universe based on duality would be like, where there would be limitations and the experience of negative along with positive feelings. We feel that overcoming the problems in such a universe would give us an increase of joy.

“We realize that you were created to only focus on the positive so nothing could destroy the peace of heaven, and we have inherited this mind from you. We therefore ask permission to go outside the Universe of The One and create a real universe of limitation where we can enter, forget out identity and overcome these limitations and eventually have an increase in joy. Then, after we overcome all things, we will return and heaven will be enhanced.”

“You do not know what you ask,” replied The One. “If you were to create a universe outside of heaven using your eternal powers, that would have to be real and eternal also, and would be in competition with heaven itself. In the end the peace of heaven would be destroyed.”

Downcast the ancient monad withdrew and gathered together with like-minded intelligences and shared ideas.

“The One has a valid point,” said one. “If we were to create a universe outside heaven with limitations using our eternal powers then that universe and everything in it would be eternal. This would include the suffering and pain that would surface. The risk would be too great.”

“On the other hand, there is something we can do to discover the increase of joy we seek. We have already experimented with simulations of a limited universe; except we have not forgotten our identity. We could create such a universe based upon illusion, but make it real by entering it and forgetting who we are. We would each enter it as a blank slate and live therein for many lifetimes, advancing step by step until we remember who we are and return to heaven. On our return our joy will then be enhanced.”

This thought reverberated through the innumerable monads. “Would this illusion be eternal?” asked one.

“It may seem eternal once we are in it, but all illusions have a beginning and an end, unlike the peace of heaven which has no end. I must add that even though the limited creation will have an end that it will seem eternal. Time, space, distance and separation will manifest there and the time of existence there may seem eternal, but all will have an end when the illusion plays out.’

This discussion continued until a large portion of the inhabitants of heaven embraced it. Since they could use their existing powers to implement the plan they did not need any permission or assistance from any other monads or even The One Itself.

Many of the hosts of heaven thus prepared to enter the illusion with a blank slate and forget their true identity. Finally, they would discover what real limitations would feel like, but they would find that overcoming them would be more difficult than they had supposed.
