No Ordinary Purpose
I’ve been hit with a criticism lately that I think calls for a response. It goes something like this.
One said that I am just dealing in theory and am leading no one to any practical levels of self-improvement whereas Tolle is a “real how-to guy” who is presenting concrete steps to living in the present moment.
First of all, the comparison is somewhat fallacious because what I am attempting to do and what Tolle is attempting are two entirely different things. Tolle is attempting what many have done before and best done so far on a practical level by Dale Carnegie in his book “How to stop Worrying and Start Living.”
I watched Oprah the other day where they spent an hour interviewing people who have been helped by Tolle and I could see the same results could have happened if they read Carnegie’s book.
I read all of Carnegie’s books over 40 years ago and liked them all. I started with “How to Win Friends and Influence People” when I was about 16 because I thought I needed help as an awkward teenager. Then I liked it so much I read everything I could find he had written.
I find it interesting that a lot of the old books I read when I was young are reincarnated in a new personality and making a big hit in this generation. “Think and Grow Rich” by Napoleon Hill has reincarnated into “The Secret,” “The Aquarian Conspiracy” into “The Celestine Prophecy” and now “How to Stop Worrying and Start Living” is reincarnated into Tolle’s works.
I guess if my main objective was to create a best seller, I could take a good idea from the past and revamp it into a more modern terminology.
Tolle’s core objective seems to be to get people to stop worrying and start living in the present. That has been covered many times before in diverse ways so I have seen no need to put much attention on a subject that seekers can readily find so much help on now. If a seeker has a troubled emotional body, then he should get help. Then after he gets help and becomes stabilized, he will have greater appreciation for the teachings I give out. If he is not stabilized then higher principles are pretty meaningless.
My purpose is not to give out in new form what is already readily available, but to take people higher in thought than they have been taken before. Anyone who does not believe in thinking should quit this group immediately for they will only be antagonized and have difficulty in controlling their emotional body. There are already many teachings, practices and meditations that are readily available to seekers. There is no need for me to repeat these in my own words. A true seeker can find what he needs in the world out there if it is available.
My teachings are given out through the presentation of principles which is unique unto itself for few in the world even understand what a principle is. In fact, the elucidation of principles itself is one of my core teachings. When a principle is seen then understanding is multiplied. If it is not seen then only a piece of data is seen.
As far as practicality goes there is nothing more practical than the understanding of a principle, especially if seen through the light of the soul on an intuitive level. This will often be accompanied by a flash of internal light that multiplies the understanding. Such an instantaneous flash can be worth a year’s worth of study. Actually, it is more valuable than that because the flash will reveal reliable truth whereas a year’s worth of study may fill the mind with many illusions.
Those who do not see or appreciate the principles I teach will be more drawn to information only that gives various step-by-step process to accomplish improvement of some kind. Each person should go where his needs are best met. One size does not fit all.
My teachings then bring additional light on principles from the past and present, and new ones that have never been expanded on.
And for what purpose?
[1] Am I seeking to help you enter the now and stop worrying about the non-essentials?
No. That may be a side benefit to some of my teachings, but if the seeker needs help in this area then he should find other help than myself.
[2] Do I just want to get famous, sell a lot of books and then get a large adoring base of fans?
Some think they see a huge ego in me wanting this, but it is not so. If this was all I accomplished I would consider my life a failure.
[3] Do I intend to help students become more successful in life, obtain peace of mind and find meaning for themselves?
No. It’s up to each seeker to take care of these personality needs. This is not my responsibility, but your own.
The only area of self-improvement that I seek to make available is through the stimulation of the intuition through the understanding of true principles. This will also stimulate soul contact.
Any self-improvement seekers have here is a side benefit. The main purpose here is not to improve various seekers, but to FIND them. I seek to find those who are already sensitive to the whisperings of the soul, and eventually gather them.
I seek to be an element in fulfilling this scripture:
“And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Cush, and from Elam, and from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea. And he shall set up an ensign for the nations, and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth.” Isa 11:11-12
Look at The Archives at freeread and the millions of words there that lift the reader into the realm of intuitive principles and you will see a seed that will blossom into the ensign to the nations around which many lights will eventually gather.
It is true that right now we are only reaching a few but the time will come that we will reach the many. When the many are reached then power will be given to gather and build anew, cities that set a true ensign for the new age.
The end of my work is to create the next step in spiritual evolution through the Molecular Relationship which will involve gathering and building anew on the physical plane. Even though many inner teachings are presented the end goal lies in creating a heaven on earth, though all spiritual evolution leads to benefits in the hereafter.
Each must pick the directions impressed upon him through his soul and I do not fault anyone who is led in a different direction than presented here. Those who are to be on the same path as myself will feel this truth internally. They will sense the principle and the need for the gathering. They are willing to take as long as it takes to accomplish this even if it requires a series of lives.
I was asked to comment on Hierarchy and the place of the sun in the scheme of things.
One thing that goes against the grain of many new age teachers is the fact of hierarchy. Hierarchy naturally evolves among all living things. Since the sun, planets and even galaxies are living then we can expect to find hierarchy among them.
DK tells us that the sun is a part of a group of seven solar systems, each one representing one of the seven rays. Our sun is on Ray 2. These seven are then linked to a greater entity which is only known to the Hierarchy as “The One About Whom Naught Can Be Said.”
This great being is the highest he mentions. This does not mean it is the highest life in our galaxy, but it is the highest of which consciousness upon the earth is capable of perceiving. Even then, the name implies that any contact will not yield much understanding because His consciousness is so high.
The galaxy and the universe itself have great spiritual centers that are a source of energy to the creations within it.
Now even though our sun is linked to higher entities in a molecular relationship there is little or no advantage in seeking to go higher than the sun in our contacts. The reason is that the consciousness of the Solar Logos is so high in relation to our own that any higher contact would be meaningless. If a slug encounters an Einstein and a regular guy, is he likely to learn more from one than the other? Actually, he will understand neither.
When I look at the sun, I visualize receiving from the great life that is in it, for the majesty of what is there for us is beyond our comprehension. On the other hand, when you receive from the sun you are receiving from this entity as it is linked up to many other greater lives. It is the job of the Solar Logos to commune with those greater lives. Our responsibility only extends as high as our consciousness can reach and few can comprehend much about the Christ, or the Planetary Logos. About all the seekers of the world can grasp of the Solar Logos is a sense of appreciation.
“Many persons have a wrong idea of what constitutes true happiness. It is not attained through self-gratification but through fidelity to a worthy purpose.” — Helen Keller (1880 – 1968)
