Robill Writes:
"What purpose does this serve? I mean, why all beings have to relive (in digest form) all the evolution every time they incarnate? I have a problem to see a reason behind this, it's like to play a game without a save point, every time you die you must redo all the level that you have already finished...."
JJ:
First you want to examine the Law of Correspondences here. Physically we also do this. From the time we start as a single cell we evolve through all the stages of evolution until we take on human features.
What's the purpose of this repetition in the creation of a physical body?
All new creation is built upon the foundation of all creation from the past.
This principle not only applies to our physical self, but to our personality self and spiritual self.
Each time a new cycle of evolution comes around we review all that has been learned in the past so we can properly and successfully prepare for the next step forward.
It is the way of things.
Steffen asks:
"Reading your interesting mails give birth to some questions, that I hope you can answer. What kind of initiations are we talking about and performed by whom?"
JJ:
Welcome to the Keys.
When we speak of specific initiations we are talking about spiritual achievements which are recognized by the Hierarchy of Masters as taught in the writings of Alice A. Bailey.
When I teach of initiation in general I am often talking about the general ability of being self motivated enough to act on one's own initiative.
Dino writes:
"So are you saying our entities in the past could have possibly been the Dwellers of our Solar Angel? We evolved into humans just like our dwellers will eventually evolve into humans."
JJ:
That which is eternally you comes from a human monad which began as a seed point penetrating this space time universe. Just as a regular seed grows to maturity by gathering to itself many parts from the soil wherein it is planted even so the Monad gathers many diverse parts to create an eventual unity. Some of the parts of the perfected man belonged to Dwellers in a past system.
John C. writes:
"But what I'm still having a problem with is how can a Dweller reincarnate once it has been killed?"
JJ:
How do we reincarnate once we have been killed? The principle is the same.
John C:
"Does the person recreate it when he reincarnates?"
JJ:
He recreates the astral body of the Dweller which is his vehicle of manifestation. The Dweller, as with all lives, is never ending.
John C:
"How does the dweller get more cunning each time around unless it draws energy directly from the person?"
JJ:
All lives get a little smarter in each incarnation.
John C:
"I still don't see how the dweller can keep coming back once the person has learned how to defeat/confront/absorb the dweller once and for all. That doesn't make any sense to me. It's something I'm got to put on the shelf and consider it later."
JJ:
In each life, as I said, we repeat in miniature our whole evolution and in the process of reliving our negative cycle we create a body of manifestation through which the Dweller can reincarnate. The Satan who appeared to Jesus in the wilderness represented his encounter with his Dweller. Now Jesus had already overcome the Dweller in past lives, but he still reappeared, even to Him. His temptations were more difficult than the Bible portrays, but, partially because of past success, He was able to dispel His Dweller in forty days.
But even here the Dweller may have not been completely out of his life for it is written: "And when the devil had ended all the temptation, he departed from him for a season." (Luke 4:13)
Note that his Dweller did not depart forever, but "for a season." A season could represent a period in his life or it could mean until his next life where he may have to face his Dweller one more time.
Also note: "Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him." (Matt 4:11)
The angels here represent the "Angel of the Presence" mentioned by DK [Djwhal Khul].
If I understand Bryan correctly he is wondering how the many will achieve initiation when it appears that initiates have performed some Herculean work. There just does not seem to be enough great works to go around to offer opportunity to many initiates.
The answer is that there is more opportunity to go around than there are initiates to take advantage of them.
As more disciples become prepared for their next initiation group initiation will become more prevalent. The vision of a great work will be seen by numerous disciples who will work together to accomplish it and in the process move their consciousness up to a higher level through their self (initiate) motivation.
"The downflow of energy from the soul is the result of constant internal re-collectedness."
