Henry Laurency
Question: Have you read books by Henry T Laurency? I do not remember you ever referring to him in your teachings.
JJ: There’s a lot of good material out there I haven’t had time to read. Just because I haven’t commented on it doesn’t mean that there is not some good truths embedded.
Actually, I did make a comment on Laurency and it was to you back in 2003. Here it is:
“Everybody puts into his words the “content of reality” he is able to grasp on his level, in his circumstances and opportunities to have experiences. All too often people talk at cross purposes, and misunderstandings are inevitable. This appears best when you hear people reporting what others have said. They turn it into something different from what the original speaker meant. When something you have said is reported back to you, you will not recognize it and you may honestly assert that you have not said it. It is another matter that many people do not know what they have said, do not mean what they are saying, and then are indignant when it is reported back to them. It is frequently seen that people say one thing, mean another”

Question: Is this guy talking about the Bible?
JJ: This quote is from Henry Laurency and he does not seem to be talking about the Bible. Glenys turned me on to him a while back and I have been reading him and using some of his material for my quotes lately. He was a student of DK and some say he had contact with the Hierarchy.
He has some good insights, but still a long way to go to match DK.
Reader Comment: I just wanted to take a moment to remember and thank the person responsible for
introducing me to Henry T Laurency’s works. If I hadn’t gone to the Above Top Secret site and become intrigued by Initiate, I wouldn’t have
encountered Laurency – which I am enjoying.
JJ: I read a little of him when he was brought up years ago and downloaded a lot of his material. Now I’m taking a second look I do see he was quite intelligent and will soon plow into some more of his writings.
Truth is where you find it and you just never know where it will show up. As I’ve said before, an enlightened soul can find more truth in the National Enquirer than a darkened soul from the Bible.
It is difficult to judge other seekers accurately for their souls will direct them in different directions according to their needs. Some will be impressed to concentrate on one or two sets of teachings whereas others will be impressed to search out the best of many.
Personally I have founds truths in many different directions in my life including the soul itself even though I have put a lot of attention on the scriptures and DK.
When a new teacher surfaces, I always check him out, and even if the guy is no match for DK but is sincere, one can often get some great insights. Sometimes I get insights from posts made by the members of the group.
Then there are many teachers who shed no additional light and leave me flat. On these I do not waste time.
On the other hand, what speaks to one person may not speak to another.
A reader wants my opinion as to whether the following quote from Laurency are accurate:
Quote One: Our planetary government can, with the effect of natural law, switch on cosmic energies and prevent them from entering our planet.”
True or False?
JJ: They can manipulate some cosmic energies and others they cannot. All lives have their limitations.
Quote Two: Ever since Atlantis, mankind has had to take care of itself during twelve thousand years.”
True or False?
JJ: False ……Mankind has still been guided by the Hierarchy from behind the veils and mankind has still been steered by those old souls who keep on reincarnating to help further the plan with higher teachings, therefore mankind was not left to take care of itself totally.
He didn’t say we would get no guidance from the Hierarchy. Since he accepts the Alice A. Bailey writings he obviously believes we receive revelation and direction from time to time. He seems to be restating the words of DK that the Hierarchy withdrew its direct interplay with humanity after the failure of Atlantis and allows humanity to do the maximum possible to work out their own salvation.
Quote Three: Avatars seldom involve into lower worlds than the causal.
True or False?
JJ: There are a lot of avatars that are never seen by humanity so this may be true. Christ himself did not take a physical body 2000 years ago but worked through Jesus from the causal level.
Laurency, just like DK or any other teacher, needs to be studied through the light of the soul to discern the truth. Without the light of the soul the student can have truth stare him in the face and not see it.
Wrong Number
A reader criticized me for asking if a certain female is cute.
She may categorize me as being hateful also after hearing this story, but my wife thought it was funny.
Some time ago I got a call out of the blue and a female on the other end asked;
“Is this Joe Dewey?”
“Yes,” I said.
“Well, we have some girls waiting here for you.”
“Really,” I said. “What are they waiting for?”
“They are waiting for you to teach them to dance,” she responded.
“Is that so, I responded. “Are they cute?”
“Well, yes, I suppose.”
“In that case, I’ll be right over. What’s the address?”
“Are you sure this is Joe Dewey, the dance instructor who just moved into town?”
“I’m Joe Dewey all right but I’m not a dance instructor and have lived in the area most of my life.”
“Obviously, we have the wrong Joe Dewey,” she said ending the conversation.
As it turned out, another Joe Dewey who is a dance instructor had just moved into town and I’ve got a number of odd calls for him over the years.
I’ve told this story to a lot of men and women and they all think it is funny. I’ve never had anyone chastise me over it.
I don’t ask for the meaning of the song of a bird or the rising of the sun on a misty morning. There they are, and they are beautiful. – Pete Hamill
