The Gods

Interesting discussion on Islam and Ramadhan. I am glad to have a member of Islam on the list. Perhaps there are more than Khadeejah.

As some noted, all religions have their positive and negative points and also go through their cycles where they have their dark ages and periods of enlightenment. The true disciple will take the best of his religion and put it to use no matter what is happening in the external world.

DK [Djwhal Khul] tells us that Mohammed was overshadowed by the master Jesus and when this is further realized it will help create greater acceptance and synthesis between the two religions.

Another interesting tidbit which I personally believe is that Mohammed was later reincarnated as George Washington making it interesting that many in the Middle East see the USA as the great Satan when we both owe our foundations to the same man.

If you study the lives of the two men and how they fought and triumphed over their enemies you will see many similarities.

AusieRuth asks:

"I was just wondering what was meant by the permanent atoms becoming radioactive in due course of evolution?"

JJ:

The answer is partially revealed through the Law of Correspondences. What happens when a physical atom becomes radioactive?

The first element to become radioactive is radium and as you know this element glows in the dark. The radioactivity in an atoms causes it to break down into simpler elements while giving off a portion of pure energy or Spirit.

DK talks more about this as follows:

"The microcosmic correspondence can be seen in the following process. The physical permanent atom absorbs the entire life force of the physical body, and its inherent heat and light is thereby increased until at the fourth initiation the seven spirillae are fully vitalised, and vibrant. The internal heat of the atom, plus the external heat of the egoic body wherein it has its place, produces then that which destroys the permanent atom. Temporarily, and just prior to destruction, it becomes a tiny sevenfold sun owing to the radiation and activity of the spirillae. So with the physical sun of the system; it will in a similar manner become seven suns, when it has absorbed the life essence of the fully evolved planes, and of the planetary schemes thereon. The ensuing conflagration is the final work of the Destroyer aspect. It marks the moment of the highest development of deva substance in the system, the consummation of the work of Agni and his fire angels, and the initiation of Brahma. Atomic substance will then individualise (which, as we know, is the goal for the atom) and after the great pralaya the next solar system will start with the threefold Spirit manifesting through substance which is essentially distinguished by active intelligent love. This is necessarily incomprehensible to our fourth round minds." (From "Treatise on Cosmic Fire," by Alice A. Bailey, Pg 741)

He talks of the destruction of the permanent atom. It is destroyed in the fact that it has been changed, but it does not disappear into oblivion any more than a radioactive atom.

Just before the change at the fourth initiation the disciple undergoes the third initiation of transfiguration. Jesus glowed as he experienced this. (See Matt 17.)

Next Ruth asks:

"Are the planets really Gods."

JJ:

It may sound that way when you read some theosophical writings plus DK, but they are not Gods in the way that many see being taught in primitive belief systems.

Just as your body is not the real you and neither is it a God to be worshipped, neither is the planet Jupiter, the Sun or any other orb a God. Instead, all tabernacles are temples of God, housing the life of God.

Just as the life of a nation as a whole is a much greater entity than the life of an individual, even so is the life of a planet is greater than a nation or an individual.

Just has we have a higher and lower self so has the earth from its beginning. The lower planetary spirit is a baby in evolution and has not yet reached self consciousness. Because of this, the higher self of the Planet, The Most High Planetary Spirit, does not generally have direct contact (that I know of) with the self-conscious human kingdom; but when contact is made it is through a lower order of spirit than itself.

The Ancient of Days, sometimes called our Planetary Logos, is in deep communion with the higher and lower selves of the planet and is a mediator between them and the lower kingdoms as the Christ is a mediator between Shamballa and mankind.

The Ancient of Days is one with the Planetary Spirits and is aware of all life on the earth making him the representative of the Planetary Logos, but the Planetary Logos is more than he. It is a synthesis of all intelligence of the earth. These great lives are so above us that we may justly call them gods, but from a higher angle they are servants of God just as human disciples are.

Thus the seven planetary Spirits are high entities who are one with God and called Gods by some, yet are servants of the One Great Life, just as you and I are supposed to be.
