The Father and the Son

Welcome to the list Peter and friends. Since you're new we'll put your question to the front of the list.

"My question for this post today has to do with the literary use of God/Lord/Father in your teachings and in the Bible. For example, in the song of the 144,000 it begins with "We thank you Father..." Is the Father the Christ (the incarnation of Melchizedek) for this planet, the Ancient of Day, a spirit from the Solar Logos, or the originating one life? Or, since we are all reflections of the original life we reference God/Lord/Father as all the higher spirits in the molecular hierarchy to the originating one life. When Jesus was on the cross and the spirit of Christ left his body, understanding that two spirits resided in that one body, Jesus said "Father why have you forsaken me". Was he talking to the Christ spirit that just left him, or the originating life? Or is it assumed God/Lord/Father can be any spirit that is above our spiritual level. For example, the Christ is this planet's God; the Ancient of Days is the Christ's God, etc. Moses spoke of the Lord as well. Which one? JJ, thank you very much."

As far as individual entities are concerned Father-Son is another name for teacher-student. Thus in relation to each other The Ancient of Days is the Father and the Christ is the Son. The Solar Logos is the Father to the Ancient of Days. On the Other hand, the Christ is the Father in relationship to Jesus making Jesus the Son.

Each aspect of God has a prime representative on each living planet. The Ancient of Days occupies that position on this planet and the one who was in Jesus occupies the position of Christ, a position he will hold for another 1000 years. Then he will move on to higher learning and be replaced by a senior Master.

In the Bible, Christ is called The Father (Isaiah 9:6) and of course, the Son many times. An interesting twist on this is that when Mary was overshadowed by the "Most High", the Christ was in her creating the miracle.

Then when Jesus had reached maturity the spirit of Christ entered into Him at the baptism. Thus during the three years that Christ was co-present with Jesus He was his own Father, literally the Father and the Son.

The first cause is often called the Father, but in reality it is Purpose which is neither male nor female. Through the power of Decision Purpose vibrated creating male and female energies or Father and Mother God.

The reason we associate the creator of the universe with Father is because the visible universe is dominated by male energy. That which is seen is radiant and radiant energy is polarized male. That which is not seen (such as magnetism and gravity) is female. As the unseen becomes more real to us God the Mother will become more real to the mass of humanity.

Because of the dominance of male energy in this visible world even the Brotherhood of light is partial to the male gender as far as the use of words is concerned. They see the idea of brotherhood and brother as having a universal application and call both males and females brothers as a symbol of unity. None in the brotherhood are offended because all realize they have been both genders in past lives and use both energies in the present.

One of the important teachings of the New Age will be the restoration of knowledge of the power of the female energy for it is as mysterious as gravity, no form can be held together without it. Because the female energy is invisible it often is not recognized. But this does not matter to the female lights of the earth. Their main joy comes from an inner knowing of the real effect that they have had. The mother's effect on a child is a great example. When the kid excels because of the teachings and influence of the mother, the father may brag to his friends about the chip off the old block, but the mother sits back in quiet joy with the realization that her hard work has born fruit.

If a person has a psychological problem with using the male "Father" in the Song then it is best to use the word for God that is most conformable to them. If he has a problem with the word Christ as in "the consciousness of Christ" then he should use "son of God. The important thing is to not change the meaning, nor drop any phrases. Those who are not ready for the energy of the Song will either cease saying it or change the meaning, thus not joining in with the unity of Spirit and Power created by it.
