A Useful Bailey Glossary

July 14, 2025July 16, 2025 Joseph Dewey

A USEFUL BAILEY GLOSSARY

Even though there are a number of esoteric dictionaries and glossaries out there, which are good for their designated purpose, there seems to be a need for one more.

Why?

Because the typical glossary gives a brief sketch of hundreds of words, many of which the reader will never remember or use. Then too the more important terms are often covered too briefly to give the reader a grasp of the full meaning.

A problem is that the glossaries gather from Hinduism, Buddhism, the many Theosophical works and the Bailey writings which often apply different slants to the meaning. This means that the word you are looking up in reference to the book you are reading may wind up giving you either an inaccurate or incomplete meaning of the word or phrase as used in what you are reading.

Of all the major esoteric works, I find that a really useful glossary for the Bailey books is lacking. There is a brief one at the end of Initiation, Human and Solar, but I find that many new Bailey readers do not get much assistance from it and many quit reading because of a lack of understanding of what is being said in the books.

Therefore, what I sense a need for is a glossary that gives the reader of the Bailey books a fairly in-depth explanation of words and terms used regularly in the 24 books. The focus will be on terms used numerous times, concerning which it is important for the reader to have a grasp of the meaning. We will ignore some of the more obscure terms, for regular esoteric glossaries and dictionaries generally cover them sufficiently.

The purpose them behind this new glossary is to provide essential information on significant words and terms that will be useful, for new as well as seasoned readers of the books by Alice A. Bailey. In turn, because the Bailey books give out much information that is not in regular Theosophical works, the expositions may be useful to students whose focus is Theosophy or other elements of the Ancient Wisdom.

That said, here are links to what has been written so far. Other words and terms will be added until it is complete for its designated purpose.

2006 Gathering, Part 6

2006 Gathering, Part 6
A City on the Sea

JJ: The problem with the gathering today is that there seems to be no place to gather to. No matter where we would want to go on the planet, all the land already has governments in place. The only place that we could go where there is land available is Antarctica which is 60 below zero. That would be a lot of fun now, wouldn’t it? May as well stay here and pay the taxes. But there is one place — a place that covers three quarters of the Earth. Is it possible that most of the Earth is covered with water for a reason — that it is part of a divine plan to prepare a place for the gathering of Lights in the last days? It is entirely possible. The international waters of the oceans are the only place that the Lights could gather that is not under the control of any government.

Audience: “The nations of the world at present are trying to figure out to control the oceans.”

JJ: Yes they are trying to do this and that is why we are running out of time here. But if we can get cities built on the oceans before the governments of the world establish more control and establish the cities as nation states, then we can have an in-road to expansion and declare ourselves free from all the governments of the Earth.

Audience: “We would have to have a nation. What constitutes a nation? There is this one guy that has his own little oil well 5 miles offshore and he deemed himself a nation. He did not have people to govern so they denied him nation status.”

JJ: There is this other guy who has a nation and he went and claimed a platform off of England that was built during the war. The English just left so he went and there with a handful of people and declared it a nation, and he is recognized as a nation and has his own banking system. It is a floating island out there. It is a platform that was built during World War II and he makes money banking out there.

Audience: “So, what is the number of people you must have to be declared a nation?”

JJ: I do not know. He just has a couple of dozen people out there and he is a recognized nation state. If it is a ship it has to be linked to some nation because a ship by international law has to be sponsored by a nation.

In order to produce a gathering of Lights, we will have build a city that floats upon the sea. We are not talking about a dozen people. The first step is to get my books permeating society to the extent that we can get maybe 10,000 people or more interested in doing this. We need a substantial amount of people interested in building a city upon the sea.

If we try to do this with a small handful of people it will amount to nothing. So the first step is to permeate the consciousness of society with these teachings, and the idea of the gathering so that it will be in the public consciousness. If we can get something in the public consciousness like “The Divinci Code” is now, we would have something to work with. Let’s suppose, for instance, Dan Brown decided to launch a venture about building a city on the sea, and he wrote a book about it. He could probably get maybe a half million people interested as popular of an author that he is. So this is a possibility, but the first step is to permeate society with the ideas.

The people who are going to gather to build the city upon the sea are not all going to be metaphysical people. It will be like the founding of America. In America the call was sent forth, “Come to America, the streets are paved with gold.” That is what the saying that went forth abroad said. It was a catch phrase and most people realized that this was not a literal statement, but it caught on:

“The streets of America are paved gold. Come to America and have a new and better life.”

So people who just wanted a new and better life got on a ship and sailed to America. When we build the cities of Light, the call will go forth again:

“Come to the cities of Light and you have more freedom, you will not be taxed 50 percent. Maybe 10 percent will be the most you will have to pay and this may even be voluntary.”

When the time comes we will work out all the details.

I can assure this: that it will be by far much better than it is now. And when they see that there is a new system of government that allows more freedom than we have ever had before in a time when we have technology that we have never had before, many people will fall in love with this idea. Many people already have. It is amazing how many people you talk to that say they wish there was a place we could gather to that would allow maximum freedom without infringing on the rights of the individual — that would have minimum taxes, maximum light, maximum education.

If we were to put together a system that is better than what is available now, like a new America, that is better than the kingdom governments, it would attract thousands and thousands of people and eventually millions of people.

So how do we build such a city?

There is a number of different ways that we have looked into. One material that is a possibility is called “pykrete.” What it is, is ice or water mixed with sawdust and then frozen. They were going to create a platform composed of this during World War II. Just before it ended they had plans for this. Using sawdust and water to make this substance that is almost indestructible. You have to keep it frozen.

The idea was to use the pykrete to build the platform and then build on top of that. They were going to create a refueling station that was an island. They built a mock up in the Great Lakes and they used a 1 horsepower motor to freeze a huge platform out there — only a one horsepower motor using the technology of the 1940’s.

Everything went successfully as planned, and then it looked like we were winning the war and did not need it so they did not complete it. So pykrete is an interesting possibility.

A Japanese man has an idea about building materials for a floating city. His idea is to remove the minerals from the sea itself. He has a process that he invented that can remove the minerals from the sea, and then he claims that the minerals from the sea can be used as building blocks like concrete. So you would build right from the minerals in the sea and have the building blocks from the sea and use in the midst of the construction in the sea. He has quite a plan drawn up for an island system that can resist a “Category 5” hurricane, and he does have the pictures of it on the Internet. It is quite interesting.

There are a number of different methods that could be used. Our good friend Rick on the Keys has put together a building block. It is made of some type of synthetic and looks like a building block that is made from cloth filled with air. He claims that we can build structures that will actually float in the air so that we can have cities that will float above the sea along with cities that will float upon the sea itself. There a number of different materials that we could use and what we would do when the time comes is examine all these materials and pick the one that would work best for our needs.

There is definitely a lot of possibility in taking the minerals out of the sea. From the minerals taken out of the sea we could produce building blocks. But before the building blocks are created, there is plenty of gold, uranium and other elements that can be extracted from the seawater and sold. Another thing that is in the sea that could be extracted and sold that they have discovered is that there are many herbs that we use for healing. They say there are many, many more that can be found in the sea than will ever be discovered in the rainforest. Right now they are doing experiments on extracting secretions from the various plants at the bottom of the sea. They are finding some that they think will cure cancer and all kinds of diseases and ailments.

They are starting to do a lot of experiments and there is tremendous potential in farming different types of things from the sea — from raising things like salmon to extracting uranium, to creating building blocks and building the cities right there in the sea itself as well as using waves as an energy source. They put these buoy’s in the sea and the motion from the waves is captured. They are close to selling this energy commercially.

Several places off the coast of, I believe Scotland, they are experimenting with and thinking of powering cities using this method of wave power. The point I am making here is that there are lots of ways for us to make money in the sea because of the technology that is developing. Since there are ways to make money in the sea, then we can build cities that will sit upon the sea that will be self sustaining so to speak. The great part about building a city upon the sea is that we can create our own government and have our own rules and create something that has never been created before. Not only this but we can prepare for the cataclysmic events and the earth changes. When the earth changes come it will only be a matter of time before we will have a large land mass rise up out of the sea. The people that are prepared to jump on that land mass and claim it will be the ones that will own it.

So if we build cities already upon the sea and a land mass rises, then we can jump on it and claim it as ours. Then we can use it a to create a new country. This is something that somebody needs to be prepared for because it is only a matter of time before the earth goes through changes and cause new landmass to appear. Those who are there to claim it will own it. The Atlantic Ocean would be the most desirable in many ways except for the bad weather that comes along with it. The Pacific Ocean — one of the reasons it was called the Pacific is because Pacific means peaceable and it is a much more peaceable Ocean. Some psychics believe that the land mass will rise up in the Pacific Ocean, but I have not received a specific revelation as to where it will rise up. I believe land masses will rise up sometime in the next 150 to 200 years. I do not think that it is going to be really close in time like many people do. So this gives us time to prepare for it, and if the people are prepared for it — ready to establish a government before anyone else, then they will have the advantage because the rest will be debating and arguing what to do with it.

Audience: “But we will not be here to assist in this.”

JJ: We can lay the foundation as much as possible in our generation. But this is a project that may take a few years or decades to get off the ground.

Audience: “Why do we have to build a city upon the sea when there is land mass coming? Why we would we abandon the cities once we build them?”

JJ: We would not abandon them but we would put people in place on the new land mass and continue to use the floating cities as well. We are going to have to have two gatherings: the first gathering will be to gather all the good hearted, hard working, educated people, who want to improve themselves and establish themselves. Then the second gathering will be a sifting out of the true Lights, and they will be gathered on the landmasses. The gathering through the sifting process will take place every few generations, so there will be numerous gatherings to come.

Audience: “Is it possible to build cities in the sea where it is shallow enough to construct a city that would be similar to the off-shore oil rigs of today?”

JJ: In the shallow areas there is another possibility. We could build walls around say a couple of square miles that would hold back the sea and we would hold back the sea and we would have land areas to build upon. But there are quite a few areas in the seas that fairly shallow that we could do that with the technology we have today. Especially if we had unlimited building blocks that we could just build right out of the sea itself. The technology is available. The technology to build the pykrete platforms has been around since the 1940’s. They have done experiments with this during World War II which mix the sawdust and water then freeze it and then build on top of that. We could also build ships that would sail around the world for commercial ventures, and then they could return to the stationary cities at any time and bring goods, commodities and such. The proposed “Freedom Ship” would take about 2 years to travel the globe from starting to starting point. The guy who wants to build it claims it can resist a tsunami and a Category 5 hurricane. Because it is so large it will support 50,000 people on board it. He has quite a few people interested in it, but he does not have the money to build it yet. I think it costs somewhere around 2 billion dollars to build and he does not have the funds. He sold a lot of cabins in advance, but he has not been able to deliver.

Audience: “What about the Molecule? Are we going to have to wait for a floating city to build one of those?”

JJ: The first Molecule can be created whenever we get the people that are ready together. In my book “The Molecular Relationship” the principles as defined in there will be the guiding principles that will govern the New Age. Most people that read it find it very stimulating.

Audience: “How will the cities not float away?”

JJ: We will anchor them to the bottom of the Ocean or use new advances in engineering to build them as moveable units. We are just presenting the tip of the iceberg here, but there are practical solutions to every problem.

2006 Gathering, Part 5

July 11, 2025 Joseph Dewey

2006 Gathering, Part 5
The Meaning of the Name of Jesus Christ

JJ: No matter where we go and no matter how high we get, we all have to take upon us the name of Jesus Christ. To do this one must understand what this name means. The name Jesus means “to deliver or Savior.” The name Christ means “anointed.” Therefore, the name Jesus Christ means “anointed to deliver.” So one who takes it upon himself the name of Jesus Christ is one who is committed to delivering those who have not gone where He has gone. In other words, to progress so far and then reach back to those who have not progressed and help them to move forward. That is what the name actually means and that is what He did when He came here.

According to the Aquarian Gospel there is a phrase that He repeated over and over again that I really like. He said: “What I can do, all men can do.” He came to be the greater example. In the Gospel of Matthew it says: “Greater things than I have done, so shall you do.” So He did not come here to just be our God, He came here to set the example.

So that even greater things than He demonstrated, we will eventually be able to demonstrate. And the reason we can do it is because He showed us what can be done. He showed us greater possibilities with no end in sight. And when people see these possibilities, then we begin to believe that maybe we can do them too.

So this is what the name really means — that if we want to become like Him, that we take it upon ourselves to take His name and we do that by learning and progressing as far as we can and then we turn around and help those who are farther back upon the path. We help them to arrive at the same place on the path that we are. Then when we help those who are behind us and pull them up to where we are, someone greater than us will turn around and help us further along the path and pull us up to where they are and this creates a great chain, a universal chain that is never ending and keeps moving all the lives in the universe from one point to another.

In a way you might call it divine selfishness. Because without this motivation, unless we help someone else, that the being or entity above us will not help us out, then maybe nothing would happen in this universe. There is a certain self-interest that flows through all things.

We were just talking today with someone about the squirrels in my backyard, about how selfish they are. All life forms are looking out for themselves in one form or another. Looking at it from this point it is interesting that the divine plan has it we have to help out those who are lesser evolved than ourselves or farther back on the path than ourselves. We pull them up to where we are and then when the time is right we turn around and there is someone pulling us up. This chain just keeps going on in this unending process.

And this is the true meaning of the name of Jesus Christ. That we are anointed to deliver those who are lesser evolved or farther behind on the path. “Below” is a word that many people do not like but all of us wish to advance on the path. When you think of the path and where each is on the path then that way it is not so much below or above but different places on the path, for all of us want to get to a certain point on the path and not all of us know how to get there. We must guide each other to make sure that we all arrive at the same place in the end. By the time we get there many of us will have taken some pretty crazy detours like Assaf over here, but he keeps coming back and centering himself and then he forges ahead.

Audience: “How do we help others at various stages of awareness?”

JJ: Some of us have awareness in areas that are pretty good and then in other areas not so good. And this brings in the principle of the blind spot. All of us have a blind spot. On the Internet a while back we posted a reference to a website where you could do a test to find the area of your own blind spot — the physical blind spot. You follow this test and you see that you actually have a place blacked where you cannot see; it is just black. But we do not see it normally because our physical blind spot is hidden from us. And this is typical and corresponds to our spiritual blind spot. Almost all of us have a spiritual blind spot and we all need to find that blind spot and recognize it.

If you wish to do the blind spot test just Google “Blind Spot Test” and something should come up.

Have you ever noticed that some extremely intelligent people are smart in most things but then slow in other areas? They can be very intelligent and then a certain area they have no logic, no rhyme or reason to what they are doing. They just seem like they are groping in the dark in a particular area. For instance, a person may be a very creative artist, but in business he cannot put 2 and 2 together and finds it hard to succeed. A person on the opposite side of the spectrum may be really good in business but maybe as a carpenter he could not figure out what a square is and so on.

All of us have certain blind spots and one thing that is crucial is to be open to that blind spot because it pretty much has to be identified by people outside of ourselves. If we listen to people outside of ourselves so we can identify the blind spot we can make much progress in our current life. When we find it, we would need to incorporate it into our lives so that we know that it is there and work with that limitation. Doing this would actually remove a lot of limitation.

I really do not think that there is a non-offensive way to describe different places on the path that is completely accurate. Perhaps the best way to say it is to state that from a higher point of view it is not one person that is better than another or anything like this – they are just in differing locations.

I personally like the term “path” because when you look at a path, you do not see it, as one person’s location as being better than another. You just see it as each person is on a different place on the path. The person at the beginning of the path always wants to reach the end of the path. We all want to reach a certain point. I like looking at the path idea as the least offensive way to describe spiritual evolution.

People really get irritated with the Christians because of their holy than thou attitude; because they preach that they are saved and everyone else is going to hell. So, we certainly want to avoid this and awareness is a good way to describe it. The path is also a good way to describe it. I am not really into political correctness, in fact I enjoy being politically incorrect. I am into speech that makes people feel free and expanding that to a greater freedom. I also like the balance of being sensitive where sensitivity is helpful.

The higher self is composed of a triangle and the upper mind is the mind that goes higher above lower mind reasoning in the fact that it has contact with these other two points in the triangle. It has contact with the intuitive self and then the higher part, the Atmic Self it is called. This higher part, the highest part from our point of view is that which originates ideas on the higher levels and sends them down through the Intuitional Self; and, then on down to the higher mind and then the higher mind links with the lower mind and send the ideas down the ladder. When you have this flow of energy from the higher self to the lower self then you have the person that can truly see what is true and what is not true in the world of principles. Principles are what I call the language of the Holy Spirit. A principle is worth over a thousand words and it may take over a thousand words to put together one principle so one can really understand it.

One of the differences of the government of the new age and the government of the old age is that the government of the new age will be self-correcting. The problem with all the governments in the past whether they be kingdom, democracy, republic, or whatever, they all deteriorate. Originally, they get together and create a new system and at first they seem to be doing well. But as soon as the new system is put in place a strong bureaucratic structure that follows the mark of the Beast arises and it controls with strong authority. It gets more and more restrictive of its citizens until it crystallizes and strangles the citizens more and more until it collapses. And this happens again and again and again.

Most of the governments in the United States and Europe are fairly new historically speaking but they are in the process of getting more and more regulations, restrictions, and laws that bit by bit — slowly — they take away the freedom of the people. Right now in the United States the average cumulative tax is 50 percent and in Denmark it is about 60 percent plus sales tax and other taxes as well. In most of Europe it is bad because Europe has older governments than we do and they have learned to get even more out of its citizens then we have here, but we are not that far behind.

A lot of people say, “You know Europe pays $6 for a gallon of gas, why shouldn’t we? It doesn’t seem fair that our average price is $2.79” (March 2010)

Overall in Europe and most other places the gas is usually twice as high as it is here in the United States. And it is funny people will say “Oh in Europe the price of gas went up so much and we should not be able to get away with cheap gas.” But now that the price of gas has gone up and not down to where it was, it is slowly increasing the average price little by little. And when they say that Europe and other countries pay more for gas so we should pay more gas as well. Boy that is an illogical argument! We should reject that reasoning.

So what is happens is the governments get tighter and tighter with more restrictions and eventually they collapse. This is followed by some type of re-organization or renewal. A positive renewal doesn’t happen that often. However, a miracle could happen if enough enlightened people got together but they would have to go against the beast of authority, which is always in control and makes it very difficult for positive change to be brought about. The only way governments are usually renewed is if they collapse and then on the ashes of the old government a new system is built. Two thirds of the time though the new is worse and maybe a third of the time the new one will be better for a while.

So what we want to look at is how long before the United States, Europe, and these older governments completely collapse through their own weight. People have made guesses, some 50 years, some a little less, some more, but most people that have examined it usually say that unless something reverses the trend that we are in, then eventually the current governments will collapse. The communist government in China will collapse or evolve and then be replaced with democracy for a while and then that too will eventually collapse. The government in the old Soviet Union collapsed and was replaced by a new one and it has not matured yet so we will have to watch and see as to how long it will last. You really do not know until it matures.

Audience: “I wonder what the tax structure was when we in the U.S. rebelled against England?”

JJ: Very much less than now. When we rebelled against the tax on tea in Boston and threw the tea in the Boston harbor it was just a couple pennies on the dollar. I cannot remember exactly what it was, but such a very small amount that the people today would not even grumble about it. But, because they were being taxed without being represented it made them very angry. And so they rebelled against the tax, but the taxes of King George were much less than the taxes we pay today.

The situation today is a little bit like the frog being boiled. If you put a frog in boiling water he will automatically jump out but if you put the frog in a cold pan of water and then turn the heat on very low and gradually raise the temperature over a period of time by the time the frog realizes he is being boiled it is too late. This is the way the governments are; they gradually strangle us with more and more restrictions, debt and taxes and we are not aware of it until it is too late. It is interesting though that the founding fathers rebelled against taxes much lower than we have today. They would be turning over in their graves if they knew how much we pay in taxes today. Back in that time in history they were very poor so even though the taxes would seem very low to us, to them they s seemed quite high to them.

The Kumaras

July 10, 2025July 11, 2025 Joseph Dewey

The Kumaras

We are told that Sanat Kumara came from the Venus chain to this planet over eighteen million years ago along with 104 kumaras. Then after humans achieved individuality and progressed toward discipleship – “Many posts held hitherto by Venusian Entities were vacated in order that our humanity might occupy them, and a vast interchain radiation went on as many of the Kumaras and certain lesser existences quitted our earth chain, and entered upon subtler, and more advanced work.” Treatise on Cosmic Fire (TCF), Pages 1078-1079

At present, DK only refers to seven Kumaras which remain here. Blavatsky names them as follows: Sanat Kumara and the three Buddhas of activity who are Sananda, Sanaka, and Sanatana. These four are incarnated in physical etheric bodies and are referred to as the exoteric Kumaras by DK.

Then the additional three are referred to as esoteric Kumaras. They are: Sana, Kapila, and Sanat-sujata. These three have bodies “in subtler matters” and these “esoteric Kumaras embody types of energy which as yet are not in full demonstration upon our planet.” Initiation Human and Solar, Pg 39

So, when Bailey and other writers refer to Kumaras what are they talking about? Obviously, they are advanced beings, but what exactly are they and what is their mission?

The word “Kumara” itself is derived from the Sanskrit which literally means “virgin boy,” “youth,” or “chaste young man.” In the Bailey writings they are depicted as eternal youths or mind-born sons of Brahma, or Divine Manasaputras, who are dedicated to the advancement of lives of lesser evolution than themselves and the furthering of the plan of the Solar Logos.

Whereas the spiritual hierarchy of masters makes up the heart center of the planet the Kumaras are linked to Shamballa, which is the head center of the planet, and have achieved a much higher state of evolution than those who we call “the Masters.”

Whereas the Masters of Wisdom have mostly evolved on this planet and in this solar system the Kumaras “do not belong to this solar system at all; They have passed through the human stage in such far distant and remote world cycles that the experience is no longer a part of Their consciousness;” Rays and Initiations, Page 267

Whereas Sanat Kumara represents the Planetary Logos in this creation the three exoteric Kumaras with him have already gone though that process in a previous solar system: “They were the planetary Logoi of three planets in which the mind principle reached its highest stage of development. “Rays and Initiations, Page 267

It is interesting that the Kumaras with him are a solar system ahead of Sanat in advancement yet they came here to learn some essential lessons that were not completed in their past and are referred to as “pupils” of Sanat Kumara. Even though they are students they assist and give counsel to our Logos.

We know then that there are seven Kumaras associated with this earth at present, but it is also written that there are more than that in the solar system, for a total of 105 came here from the Venus chain eighteen million years ago. We are not told much about these other Kumaras as they were replaced by human masters, but DK does say this:

“These Kumaras [the 105] (or Their present substitutes) can also be divided into the seven groups which correspond to the seven Rays, and are in Themselves the life of the centre for which They stand. Fifteen, therefore, of these Entities (again the ten and the five) form a centre in the body of the planetary Logos, and the three Kumaras about Whom we are told (Who in Themselves are fivefold, making the fifteen) are the entifying Lives of the particular centre which is involved in the coming Initiation of the Heavenly Man, and to which the human units at this time, and during this greater cycle, belong.” TCF, Page 388

So even though many of these Kumaras were replaced by human “substitutes” the three exoteric Kumaras (three Buddhas of Activity) remain “Who in Themselves are fivefold” “form a centre in the body of the planetary Logos,” or planet earth. The quote tells us that these make “the fifteen” that work with Sanat Kumara.

But each of the three exoteric Kumaras is a composite of a group life of fifteen with the two divisions of five and ten. DK tell us that the three exoteric Kumaras linked to the “planetary Logos” (Sanat) are actually five each making 15 that assist the Logos.

But there are ten more linked to each Kumara One must suppose that the ten are still linked to the five and the one but work in more subtle matter than the etheric physical. DK speaks often of the five but generally ignores the ten

Overall, the seven Kumaras are composed of fifteen lives each who also called Kumaras, but subdivided into groups of five and ten.

Thus we have the seven Kumaras with each representing a unified life of fifteen (5+10) which equals the 105 original Kumaras. Some, or all, in the division of five work in etheric physical bodies for humanity in Shamballa whereas the ten would be that part that “quitted our earth chain, and entered upon subtler, and more advanced work.” TCF, Page 1079

These teachings would also indicate that Sanat Kumara is a composite character himself since each of the seven are composed of 15 entities, but he too would be represented by five Kumaras and linked to ten others involved in more subtle work.

The original quote refers to other “lesser existences” linked to the Kumaras so it is quite possible that Sanat and other Kumaras could represent many more than the fifteen great lives. Some Theosophists have assumed that number is 144,000.

But… because everything is governed by hierarchy there would always be one of the fifteen who would be the most evolved, or the leader of these great lives. The Sanat group would be the hierarchical leader of the Seven and there would be one Kumara who would be the leader overall.

Therefore, from our point of view each of the seven Kumaras would be a single unified life, but composed of 15 great unified lives, and we assume many more lesser lives.

The human body is a lower correspondent of the principle of group lives. We are all composed of atoms, which esoteric teachings say has a consciousness. The atoms form composite lives which are cells, the cells unite to create the various organs and parts of our bodies, and together they create a vehicle for you as an entity to occupy.

DK speaks of another division of five Kumaras so when he speaks of the five it is important to understand which five he is talking about. The second division concerns the Seven Kumaras whose main division is into the four exoteric and three esoteric. But within these seven is a second division into the two and the five. He says this: “we have the four exoteric Kumaras, of Whom two fell, and the three esoteric, of whom One gathers the life forces of the four exoteric, making with Them the five above mentioned.” TCF, Page 829

So this second group of five is composed of an esoteric Kumara (one not incarnated into the etheric physical) who “gathers the life forces of the four exoteric,” forming a group of five.

He doesn’t say any more about that process, neither does he say much about the two who fell except this:

“The student who seeks the significance of the preponderance of orange and of rose is approaching the secret of the two Kumaras Who fell.” TCF, Page 824

There is a preponderance of orange and rose in the sacrifice petals of the causal body indicating the fall of the two is perhaps a voluntary descent into exoteric matter from a previously higher plane.

This sacrifice is noted here:

“Under this Law of Sacrifice, Sanat Kumara (to express the idea in occult terms) ‘must turn His back upon the Central Spiritual Sun, and with the light of His Countenance irradiate the path of the prisoners of the planet.’ He sentences Himself to stay for as long as may be needed,” Discipleship in the New Age, Vol 2, Page 287

We are told that Sanat and the three Buddhas “are overshadowed by the planetary Logos, and He works directly as the Initiator (in relation to man) through Sanat Kumara, and with the three kingdoms in nature through the three Buddhas of Activity.” TCF, Page 752

“The first Kumara (Sanat) is in a mysterious sense the energy which produces self-consciousness in the human family. The three other kumaras, or the three Buddhas of Activity, act as similar focal points for the energy which animates the three lower kingdoms, and which produces their differing grades of consciousness.” TCF, Page 728

DK places much more emphasis on the four Kumaras who have etheric physical bodies than the three esoteric, but all seven share some common aspects of mission and are “connected with our planetary evolution…” and the “six Kumaras transmit energy from the other six planetary schemes.” TCF, Page 181, Footnote

In addition, we are told that “Each of these six Kumaras is a reflection of, and the distributing agent for, the energy and force of one of the six other Planetary Logoi, the remaining six spirits before the Throne… Each of Them is in direct communication with one or another of the sacred planets.” Initiation Human and Solar, Pg 39-40

Sanat Kumara directly represents one of the Seven Spirits before the throne, but “nowhere has the impression been conveyed that the three Kumaras, associated with Him, are three other planetary Logoi.” TCF, Page 412

This would apply to all six, but they are in communication with the other six spirits or planetary logoi of sacred planets, and channel energy from them to this earth.

It comes down to this. In connection with this planet, we have one of the representatives of the Seven Spirits before the throne which is Sanat Kumara. The other six kumaras with him are linked to the other six Spirits and these six are overshadowed by, and are one with, the planetary logoi of six sacred planets. Sanat presides over not only this earth but also a seventh sacred planet, of which it is written that he is the: “physical incarnation of one of the Planetary Logoi, which one it is not permissible to state…” Initiation Human and Solar, Page 39

We know he is overshadowed the logos of this earth, but there is another which he is linked to which is not given. In our post on Sanat Kumara, we gave evidence that this was Saturn.

We are also told that the energy of the seven Kumaras correspond to the seven centers of our bodies. DK writes that “the four exoteric Kumaras corresponding to the four minor head centres, and the three esoteric Kumaras corresponding to the three major head centres.” TCF, Page 181

Many students do not realize “that in the head of every man are seven centres of force, which are linked to the other centres in the body.” Initiation Human and Solar, Page 30

It is interesting then that the seven Kumaras are linked to the seven centers in the head and not directly to the seven in the body. It is also interesting that the three esoteric kumaras, of which little is written, are linked to the three major centers.

In addition, the macrocosmic correspondence of our seven centers are the Seven Spirits before the Throne or the logoi of the seven sacred planets. The sun and all the planets and objects in the solar system represent the dense physical body of the Solar Logos

Concerning the connection of the centers to the sacred and non sacred planets DK says this:

“It is the centres of initiates which are ruled only by the seven sacred planets; among average men, some of the sacred planets dominate and some of the non-sacred. In undeveloped man, the five non-sacred planets control, with the head and the heart centres under the rule of two sacred planets, which planets being determined by the rays of the soul and of the personality.” Esoteric Astrology, Page 512

These seven great entities are called by numerous names in the Ancient Wisdom. Among them are:

“1. The seven Rays,

The seven Spirits before the Throne,
The seven planetary Logoi,
The seven great Lords,
The seven Aeons,
The seven Emanations,
The seven Prajapatis,” Light of the Soul, Page 268

Then he adds these: “The seven Heavenly Men.” And “the seven Divine Manasaputras.” TCF, Pages 5 & 216

Keep in mind that each planet is multifold in the manifestation of its life.

First you have the Planetary Logos, the indwelling Spirit whose incarnation is the planet itself. This life is of a very high order. Secondly, you have an entity which is overshadowed by the logos and is sometimes identified with the logos, itself such as Sanat Kumara.

Next you have various Kumaras who receive influence from various planets in our scheme as well as the other schemes in our system.

Finally, the Kumaras distribute the energies of the seven rays to all the kingdoms of the planet.

In addition, the six Kumaras have another interesting job:

“Their work (Six Kumaras) is therefore concerned, not only with force distribution, but with the passing into our scheme from other planetary schemes, of Egos seeking earth experience.” Initiation Human and Solar, Pg 40

Basically, they facilitate the transfer of entities from other planets to our “earth experience.” It is interesting that many students feel that they came from somewhere beyond this planet.

In addition, H. P. Blavatsky points out that they were directly involved in teaching humanity in our ancient past:

“It is through these “Sons of God” (Kumaras) that infant humanity got its first notions of all the arts and sciences, as well as of spiritual knowledge; and it is they who have laid the first foundation-stone of those ancient civilizations that puzzle so sorely our modern generation of students and scholars.” Secret Doctrine Vol 1 Pg 208

Perhaps this explains the origin of the technology that built the pyramids as well as other mysterious structures from the past.

Hopefully this gives students some insight into the life and work of these great beings, who we call Kumaras, that will assist them in understanding some of the complex teachings in the Bailey and Blavatsky writings.

2006 Gathering, Part 4
Higher and Lower Mind

Introductory note by JJ:

I was fortunate to have my 95-year-old mother at the gathering. We killed two birds with one stone and also had a family get together there at the Lodge before the gathering began. I asked her to recite one of her favorite poems. Even though her memory was strongly affected by dementia she flawlessly recited the poem.

Here is the poem she recited:

“If you think you are beaten, you are,

If you think you dare not, you don’t,

If you like to win, but you think you can’t,

It’s almost a ‘cinch’ you won’t?

If you think you’ll lose, you’ve lost,

For out in the world you find,

Success begins with a fellow’s will;

It’s all in the state of mind.

“For many a race is lost,

Ere ever a step is run;

And many a coward fails

Ere ever his work’s begun.

Think big and your deeds will grow,

Think small and you’ll fall behind,

Think that you can and you will;

It’s all in the state of mind.

“If you think you’re outclassed, you are,

You’ve got to think high to rise,

You’ve got to be sure of yourself before

You can ever win a prize.

Life’s battles don’t always go

To the stronger or faster man,

But sooner or later, the man who wins,

Is the fellow who thinks he can.”

Audience: Clapping, sounds of laughter, and comments in amazement of JJ’s mother’s memory of this poem.

[2006 Gathering transcription continued.]

JJ: Okay so the lower quaternary consists of the etheric body, Prana, the emotional vehicle — the emotional self, and the lower concrete mind. This is sometimes reduced to a triad by combining the etheric and Prana together. Then you have the trinity of the physical, astral, mental. It depends how one defines their terms.

Then you have what is called the upper triad. The upper triad has three points. One point is the higher mind. As far as mind goes we have the higher mind, lower mind and brain. What is the difference between the higher mind and the lower mind? Many people who think of the mind are really thinking of the brain but there is actually three parts to the mind. There are three things that a mind uses, the brain, the lower mind, and the higher mind. The brain is like a computer it is a very sophisticated computer that does not do the original thinking on its own. All it does is store things and calculates, just like the computer does.

If you have a good functioning brain you can do pretty well in school, you can memorize questions and answers and then you just write them down. So, if you are good at memorizing things you have a good functioning brain then you have an easy time with tests. My brain must have been a little handicapped when I was young because I always had a hard time memorizing everything necessary to achieve an “A” on my tests. But, this is mainly a function of the brain. I was happy to find this out because then I did not feel quite as slow. I used to think that I must not be very bright because I always had a hard time with tests. But that may have been because I was hit on the head a little too much when I was a child.

Audience: Laughter.

JJ: I had to really practice concentrating in getting my brain in order so it could function better at an increased level of computing as it were. The brain activity is only a small part of the mind. The second part of the mind is the lower mind and the lower mind uses logic to put 2 and 2 together. It does more than just memorizing. It does some elementary computer programming and it figures out what to send down to the brain for storage, and uses the brain like a computer so it has some good software to work with. It puts 2 and 2 together along with ideas and programs so the brain becomes useful.

If all the brain can do is memorize then there really is not a lot you can do with it. A person who is autistic has a brain that functions at an excellent level because he can memorize things, calculate things. He can see marbles falling on the floor and count them all in one glance, because he has a computer brain that functions at a very high level. But he can’t put 2 and 2 together or we could say that he does not have reasoning capability. An autistic has a really good functioning brain, terrific ability to calculate, a really good memory, but he does not have a good lower mind due to the fact that he cannot put 2 and 2 together so there is some disconnect between the lower and higher mind with autism. We could say that there is a short circuit and all the energy is flowing to the brain and not to the lower mind.

Energy follows thought, and where we put our attention is where we develop our skills. The autistic person puts all his attention on his brain activity and he gets a very smoothly operating brain where he can perform certain skills with the brain that the rest of us cannot do.

The next step up is to develop the lower mind, which uses reason and logic. Many people who are atheists have a good lower mind because they use their logic and reason to conclude that the only thing that is real is what one can touch and feel and see with the physical eyes. They begin to develop their lower mind.

The higher mind is something else. What makes the higher mind different is that it is the lowest point in the upper triad. You have the lower triad. Visualize a triangle pointing upward and another triangle pointing downward, and the two points touching. That is the upper triad and lower triad and the lowest point of the upper triad is the higher mind. This is the link between spirit and matter. Between normal living and spirit living, this is what brings the down pull of spiritual energy. When you bring the two triangles intertwined together then you have the Star of David, which is the symbol of the lower personality and the higher self meeting and blending and merging as one.

In the East the upper Triad is called the Atma-Buddhi-Manas. Manas means mind or higher mind. Buddhi means the intuition also. Atma is the highest part of your conscious identity. And so the Atma, Buddhi and Manas is the higher Triangle. The higher part of yourself or the higher triangle is what the Solar Angel uses to communicate with the lower self, and it is what the masters use to communicate with us. In other words, this upper triangle needs to be activated enough to receive the higher perceptions and the higher contacts.

Until it is activated to some degree we will not be able to discern a true teacher from a false teacher; a spiritual doctrine from a material doctrine; a person who wants you for his own power, or a selfless teacher, a revelation that is from the emotional nature or a revelation that is through the soul. The person will not be able to discern these things until he activates this upper triangle of his higher nature.

Above this we have the Monad and then the divine self so to speak. The Monad is a point where we originated. There are billions of Monads in this solar system and the human monad is the potential that is us, that has always been in existence. We have existed in other realms before this solar system was even created. We are given very little information except that the Monad does have a record of everything that is in our past. And we can go back and discover this information when the time is right.

The Monad is the point of life and intelligence that makes you different and unique from every other being in the universe. The Solar Angel is an entity, a being, which, became human in a past solar system, a past universe if you will. It passed through the human stage and learned everything that was possible to learn. These beings passed through the human stages and became gods almost. They reside in the spiritual spheres almost beyond the human and the physical.

In order to change, we must be sick and tired of being sick and tired. – Anonymous

2006 Gathering, Part 3

2006 Gathering, Part 3
A Focus on Seeing

JJ: It is funny, one time I was in church sitting near the podium, as I was the Ward Clerk at the time, when I was learning how to see aura’s and I began to wonder what color my aura was. After the service I went down into the audience and this older lady, who I believe was from Denmark and about 90 years old came up to me and says, “I was looking up there and I saw this light around you so I thought there was a light shining on you or something, but then you moved one way and the light went with you and you moved another way and the light went with you.” And I asked her what color she saw. I cannot actually remember what color she said it was, I think she said blue or gold. I thought to myself “Boy that’s weird. I was sitting there wondering what color my aura was and this older woman down in the audience saw it and told me what color it was.”

I thought that was really coincidental. Especially in a Mormon church! Anyway, I was practicing and practicing and I was just about to give up and then it happened! One day I started to see it. And as soon as I began to see it, it began to disappear. And this is what I discovered. That as soon you begin to see the aura and start to look at it, it disappears. Once you see it, you have to convince yourself that you don’t care whether you see it or not. You have to put yourself in a state of mind that I call “not seeing.” In this state of mind of not seeing you can actually see the aura. But, when you first see it you get excited and think, “Oh wow, I want to see more of it!” — and then it disappears. This is really frustrating at first. The books I had did not give instructions about “not seeing,” but you have to put yourself in a state of mind where you just don’t care. It is a little like relationships, if you are chasing some girl and you really tell her how much you care too early, then she’ll want to avoid you.

So I began to see the aura and kept concentrating. One morning when I was shaving I started concentrating while I was doing this and looking in the mirror and finally I could see the aura in the mirror also. And then I began to see more, that one of the things they do teach you about the aura is that it is oval shaped. You know how there is a film on the outer part of a boiled egg after you peel it, There is a film on the outer part of our auric egg. Now the bright colors only stretch out a little but there is an energy that circulates like an egg and our auric egg circulates around this. So I concentrated and I began to see more and more and then I started to see this energy circulating around me.

Then I thought well, the last step is to see the film on the outer part of the aura. And the film on the outer part of the aura holds the key to your power to read thoughts, because what you do is you project with your thoughts. You project your thoughts in geometric forms on the outer part of your aura, and this was really hard to see. I really had to concentrate to see this. I began to see the aura’s really clear and then this outer circulating energy of my aura was really tough to see. I would just start to see it and the geometric forms were almost like a kaleidoscope, the geometric forms were changing shape.

It was really beautiful, and I would just start to see them and then they would disappear. It took about 10 to 20 times sensitivity to see this as it did to see the aura and 10 to 20 times of sensitivity to see the aura as it does to see the etheric body. It keeps getting harder to see the farther you go. Some teachers have taught that when Jesus read the woman’s thoughts at the well where she said she had no husband and Jesus said, “You have had several husbands,” and he was actually looking at the outer film of her aura and watching her thoughts projected and he was able to tell what she was thinking by using that process.

I have found that the several times that I have been able to see my geometrical forms pretty clear has been right between being awake and asleep. Sometimes when I wake up I get a pretty good look at them, but I have to stay right between being awake and asleep because as soon as I wake up it is gone. It is interesting – that stage between being awake and asleep amplifies your sensitivity so you have connection between two worlds almost.

The reason you are connected is that, we are connected by two strands of energy, one is connected to our heart and connected to our higher self and the other is connected from our head and when we go to sleep the one in the head is severed, so that part of our selves (the real part) that thinks and makes decisions is gone during our sleep. And when it comes back we can’t remember where it went because it did not take the physical brain with us. The physical brain records memories that we can access here in the body. Our true self during sleep is actually gone and it could be in Shamballa or who knows where, teaching somewhere or learning somewhere and when it comes back we have no memory of the part of us that really makes decisions does.

The part that stays here is our emotional makeup. It stays here and this is why our dreams are so scattered is because they are created by our emotional nature — our emotional nature without the mind. That’s why we wake up from a dream and say, “Boy this does not make any sense what so ever.” It is because our emotional nature without the mind makes no sense. Our emotional nature stays here and keeps us alive by feeding spiritual energy into our heart center. This keeps us alive during our sleep. And this causes us to have jumbled things and unconnected ramblings when we are asleep. But there are certain times when the mental self and the emotional self begin to merge. When the mental self comes back into the body as we begin to wake, it is between two worlds. It is between the spiritual world and it is in this world at the same time then sometimes for just a very short period of time, we will have a tremendous increase in sensitivity. Has anyone else had this experience where you seem to be between being awake and asleep and you seem to be super sensitive?

Audience: “Yes, it happens a lot to me. That is the time where you are talking about where one can glean some information or understanding. If the dream was something I am meant to remember it will stay there for a while even until I am almost awake. The being that was talking to me in the dream, I thought it was just a dream but it was not. I was lying there in this state of unconscious and stayed there until after I was awake to let me know that this was not just a dream.”

JJ: Sometimes we will have a very real dream for a couple purposes. Number one a higher part of yourself participated in the dream to give you information or number two, perhaps your mental self did not go completely to the other sphere during your dream and you were not completely asleep so it was able to channel dreams to you. Some dreams are much more real than others. But it is interesting to think that it gives much light when you understand that there are two connecting sources to our bodies between our physical and spiritual selves. During sleep this mental part of ourselves goes different places and learns, teaches and does many different things and then returns to us and we have no recollection of what transpired.

Audience: “Are you using the term Solar Angel as in Soul and Soul contact?”

JJ: A little, we explain that as we move along.

Audience: “You mentioned our job is to wake our Solar Angel and is that what you were tying in when you say that we are in between the sleep and wake states is that one way that we establish Soul contact?”

JJ: Actually I was not going to say that but that would certainly help in the process. You can actually have a continuity of consciousness through deep meditation but it takes much dedication of practice to be able to do this. As you are going to sleep you concentrate on the center between the forehead and visualize your consciousness there as you are drifting off to sleep but concentrate on staying awake. Then you will leave your body and you can stay in your mental body, which is different than astral travel. In astral travel you leave in the astral body, so to speak, but this is more the mental vehicle. Using the mental vehicle you can return with much of what transpired during the sleeping period.

This way is used by some of the more advanced yogis who really concentrate on this. In the West we are so focused on working to improve our quality of life that we do not have time to spend on the extreme meditation that those in the east are able to do. Some of the yogis just eat a bowl of rice a day and spend the rest of the time in meditation and are completely content to do so. This of course gives them the opportunity to experience some of the more supernatural things that surround us. But then they miss some of the fun we have in the West because there are other things that one can do besides meditate in life.

Audience: “round the same time you said that we have to wake our Solar Angel you said something like the Solar Angel is not aware of us, or the effect upon us.”

JJ: In other words, we think of the higher lives as being aware of everything and the truth is, is that they are not, just like we are not aware of everything that surrounds us. Look at us in comparison to a dog, for instance, Our dog may be extremely aware of something that we are completely oblivious to. Maybe our dog has had arthritis going along up his leg for a year or so and we are not even aware of that because we have not been paying attention and finally the dog does something that makes us aware of that something is bothering him and then we think “well the poor little doggie seems in pain so let’s go get him looked at.”

This is not an exact correspondence but it is a little bit like this with the Solar Angel. We are the Solar Angel’s reflection in a way and we will explain a little more about this later. We actually need to get the Solar Angel’s attention so It will look in on what we may need to evolve so that we can be one with the higher parts of our nature. It is just assuming that we are not ready to evolve yet or It may not even be aware that we exist because from It’s point of view we are like a dream state and in our dream state we can not really make decisions.

If a monster is chasing us in a dream we don’t know that we can make that monster disappear. We do not know that we can overcome that monster. I think I told you this story before that I used to dream regularly that a monster would be chasing me and it would get me cornered and then I would wake up. And then this one time this big, ugly monster that looked like the monster on the movie “Alien” with Sigourney Weaver, I mean it was that ugly! It was a horrible looking thing! It was chasing me and it was big, it must have been about 20 feet tall! And it was chasing me and it had me cornered and I turned around and there was no way out, but instead of waking up I thought I was not going to wake up and the only thing left to do was to fight it.

So I decided to fight it and I grabbed it and I discovered that I was stronger than this monster. I got it down and just started beating the dickens out of it. I never felt so good in my life, and when I woke up from this dream I was on a high for about a week afterwards. It felt so good to beat the dickens out of it after all the dreams that I had of it chasing me and scaring me half to death. When I started beating it up, it had terror in its eyes and before that it had looked sublimely confident. So now I had turned the tables on this monster and it was really afraid. Bruce Lee had a similar dream that he used to dream regularly, he used to dream of this great big ninja he was fighting that was by far much bigger than he was and carried a huge sword. And Bruce had a heck of a time with it. This is kind of a remnant of “The Dweller On The Threshold” in a way and what I might call a leftover from Dweller.

Okay the first part of our lower quaternary is our physical body, which, is composed of the physical body and the etheric body. The second part is the emotional and the third part of the lower is the lower mental. The fourth part is prana or the life principle. What is prana? Does anyone know what that is?

Audience: “Life energy that flows.”

JJ: Prana is life energy that flows into your etheric body. You have probably heard about acupuncture points on your body, right? These are points where you have a lot of energy currents converging in your etheric body and when they puncture an acupuncture point, it stimulates a place in your etheric body where all this pranic energy is converging. Prana is found in your food and it is found in sunlight, the air that you breathe.

All these things contain this pranic energy which feeds your etheric body and your etheric body is then connected to your physical body and gives it it’s shape and its vitality. So if a person masters his prana then he will learn to master his vitality and will rarely be sick and thus extend the life by a great margin.

The yogis in the East increase their prana by practicing breathing exercises. By using correct breathing methods, one is able to breathe in more life energy and have a greater state of health and eat less food. I would suppose that is why some yogis eat only one bowl of rice a day. There are stories of yogis in the East that do not eat at all. And there are stories of others that do not even drink at all.

Even in the Christian religion there are similar stories. I was reading about this nun a while back who lived early in the last century that did not eat or drink for 40 years. I think she ate the wafers once in a while from the Eucharist. They can do these things because by focusing in on the spirit they can take in more pranic energy. If a person was a master of pranic energy, he would not need to eat or drink at all. This is why Jesus says, “I have food and drink that you know not of” because He was able to take in pranic energy and He could sustain Himself for a long period of time with out physical food and drink.

It was written that He fasted without food or water for 40 days and 40 nights. Moses had done the same thing as well. Pretty tough to do without food, but without food and water it is very hard to do. The longest I have gone with out food is 12 days and that was as long as I wanted to go. My friend and I had decided to fast for 10 days and we reached the tenth day and then we were going to break it during the full moon and have a meditation together. Well, what happened is we missed judged the full moon. And just as we were going to end our fast I was checking the full moon and said “Hey, we missed it by two days. We have to go to 12 days to get to the full moon!”

If we had set 12 days to begin with it would not have been so bad but when you have already set 10 days and reached this then it made all harder to fast those last 2 extra days. They were roughest of all because we were all set to finish fasting and eat. I know it would not have been nearly as rough if I had pre programmed myself to fast for the 12 days to begin with. But, then to top it all off on the eleventh day, we went to visit my nephew, Curtis. He was married to a nice little lady at that time who was a great cook. So, we were visiting with them and she brought out these cinnamon rolls — beautiful rolls with syrup on them — you could see the steam rising from these piping hot rolls, and they smelled so wonderful. They were the best-looking rolls I had ever seen in my life. I had never seen rolls that had looked any better. And I had never wanted anything so bad in my entire life. I wanted to take just one bite of those beautiful rolls! So I said to her, “Now you have to promise me that when we have completed our fast that you will make me some of these rolls.”

Shortly there after they divorced and I hardly saw her anymore, but I still see her every once in a while and I still say to her, “You have got to make me some of those rolls!” It has been over 20 years now and to this day when I run into her I remind her that she owes me some of those good looking rolls!

I can complain because rose bushes have thorns, or rejoice because thorn bushes have roses. It’s all how you look at it. – J. Kenfield Morley

2006 Gathering, Part 2
Seeing the Invisible

JJ: So in order to reach the soul we have to realize that our Solar Angel is in meditation deep. And in meditation, he becomes aware of his reflection. His reflection is us, and it is a little like us dreaming.

When we are dreaming a dream, we are creating this dream and we are not aware that the dream is our reflection. We are not aware of this at all. If you want to have any control of your dream you have to realize you are dreaming, and then take control of your reflection. Then you will find that you can actually manipulate your dream a bit if you want.

This corresponds a little to the Soul. No correspondences are exact but they are always close enough that if we use the intuition, we can discover truth by looking at the lower and reflecting to the higher. Our Solar Angel sees us as it’s reflection, but It does not yet have full access to this lower self. And as an extension of a life that is higher than ourselves, we do not know who we are. We are not awake. We are in fact in a high state of sleep so to speak.

When the person realizes the state that he is in and makes contact with the Solar Angel then his Solar Angel actually begins to wake up in the dream of life and realizes that He has a reflection. And then It will communicate with its reflection. So part of our job is opposite of what most think and that is they think they need to wait around for the Higher Self to contact them. What we must do is wake the Higher Self up. The Higher Self is largely asleep to us in its own sphere. The Solar Angel is in its own sphere of existence in its own realm and does not put much attention on the secondary reflection which is us.

What we must do is wake up our Solar Angel to the idea that we are ready for contact.

Why is the Solar Angel often called our Higher Self?

The Higher Self includes a number of things.

Anni, if someone were to ask you what the Higher Self is how would you respond?

Anni: An advanced entity that is older than us and He must adapt with us and try to help us to evolve and develop into becoming like its self one day. But we also can develop the soul energy some day.

JJ: What is the upper Triad? Do you remember what that is? You have the lower Quaternary in the lower quadrant area and then the upper Triad.

Audience: The Monad and the Spirit?

JJ: Okay, you have the upper Triad. We have the lower part of ourselves composed of our physical nature and our physical nature is composed of two different things. The physical body and the etheric body, the etheric body stretches about a millimeter from your physical body. It is actually very easy to see.

When I was a Mormon teaching seminary instead of calling it the etheric body, I told them that I would show them how to see their spirits. I showed them and they went home and told their parents, not long after that I was released from my job. You would think that since I actually showed them how to see something and after all, seeing is believing, that the authorities wouldn’t have thought I was out of line.

So the physical body is made up of the physical and etheric bodies and we are going to look at the etheric. Look at a light colored background like white or green and put your thumbs together until they are touching and then produce just a little space between your thumbs; about a quarter of an inch. Now look at the space right in between and slowly pull the thumbs apart until they are about a half inch apart and you will see a light blue film around your thumbs. How many saw the film? Did anybody not see it?

Audience: Silence, everyone seemed to see it.

JJ: That is the exact duplicate of your etheric body. After you die the etheric body leaves your physical body and lives a short time unless you are really grounded to this earth and then it will hang around for some period of time. That is one point on the lower quaternary part of yourself. The second part is your feeling nature and you can actually see your feeling nature on display by looking at your aura. Your densest aura stretches about a foot away from your body. If you are healthy the colors are very bright. There will also be different colors depending on the mood and the state of evolution of the mind. There are many different variables. There is usually one color that is prominent in every person’s aura. Some will prone to blue, others to violet, and still others to yellow. Good sales people have this color.

A strong mental thinker will have a prominent blue, some people shift colors when they shift from sales mode to thinking mode and there will be different colors displayed on their aura.

I first learned how to see auras in church, which in a way is surprising. When I used to go church a thousand years ago, I was reading these books on metaphysics and I was interested in seeing the aura so I read some instructions on how to see it. The best place to practice was during the sacrament meeting in church where a person was standing up and giving a really boring speech and I sat in back concentrating on his head and the speaker would look down and probably thought, well there is one guy paying really close attention at least. Little did he know I was just trying to see his aura. Anyway, spending two hours in church every Sunday evening watching these guys speak gave me really good practice. During that time, until the church threw me out, my ability increased substantially. By the way if they had not thrown me out I probably would have been more sensitive than I am now with all the practice I would have had watching boring speakers. Overall, it took about 2 or 3 months practice before I could actually see someone’s aura.

After posting this section to the group I received this response from a reader:

“The same ‘film’ can be seen if the thumbs are replaced by any objects, colour of which is different from the background. If say instead the thumbs I use two markers (fibre pens), I can see similar film around them too. One does not have to pull the thumbs apart, it is enough to quickly withdraw / remove them altogether. The blue imprints will be clearly seen. (I do not think it is Kirlian effect either.)

“Colours of the film depends on the colour of the objects. In fact it is complementary colour. If the objects are of yellow or fleshy colour, the film will be blue (white background). If the objects are blue, the film will be reddish.

“I explain it by a well-known effect of retina saturating when overexposed without eye blinking and without viewpoint wandering. Sensitivity to the wavelengths of exposure is reduced. Thus if an object is yellow (finger) then sensitivity to yellow (which is red+green) is reduced. Once the object (finger) is removed, white balance becomes offset, with blue component greater than red and green. Thus we see blue film. After half a minute the retina will restore its white balance, and the film will become fainter until completely disappears.

“So the colour of the film is always complementary to the colour of the object. If an object is black, the film will be the same as background but brighter. As a result of these experiments I am not convinced I see any ethereal body or something. Please could you suggest some experiment which will not create any visible ‘film’ around non-organic dead objects and will generate ‘films’ around living matter.”

JJ: Good comments. I’m aware that you do not have to pull your thumbs apart to see the film, but this makes it easier for first time viewers. I know a lot of what I see is not explained by the standard idea retina saturation as I see a lot of things that could have nothing to do with this. On the other hand, all light which is registered by the brain (including etheric and auric) produces an afterimage on the retina.

I just looked at the space between my thumbs, and as I pulled them apart I saw not only the film, but an interplay of light between the thumbs.

You are right that all matter has this film and that is because etheric matter is everywhere and gives form to the physical.

I just picked up a black flash drive and easily saw the etheric film as well as an energy field extending about a half inch because this is an object I use regularly.

Then I picked up a yellow ruler I rarely use and noticed that the [etheric] film was very thin because it hasn’t had much living contact. I held it a while and saw that the energy around it started to increase until soon it had a similar energy and color as the black flash drive.

Inorganic objects also emit auric colors. If they have been used regularly by humans, they take on colors influenced by us.

I’ll give you an example.

When I first started seeing auras I was looking at the extra sensory colors in everything and noticed that our clothes carried the colors of our aura even when we were not wearing them. Now keep in mind that the auras are more difficult to see than the etheric and extend about a foot or so from the object or body.

One day I was in the bathroom studying my own aura in the mirror when I saw a light to the side of me. I turned and noticed that my wife had a sweater hanging up and a very bright orange auric light was emanating from it. This perplexed me because I had never seen that color in my wife’s aura so I asked her where she got the sweater and when.

She said she picked it up the other day from a thrift store. Then I knew I was seeing the aura of the previous owner. I expected that the sweater would soon take on my wife’s aura after she wore it a while.

This is why some sensitive people do not like used clothes because they do not like picking up the energy of the previous owners.

Now as far as the etheric film goes, if it was merely the cause of standard retinal retention then the effect should be the same all the time, but it is not. The greater vitality the more extended from the physical surface will be the “film” and it varies considerably from one person to another.

Here is an experiment one can do who is not sensitive enough to see auras.

Have a person who is healthy and vibrant stand in front of a white wall and stare at their forehead for about two minutes. Then have them move away and continue staring. While it is true you will have a retinal retention it is also true that part of the light you are registering in your retina is the etheric light and sometimes part of the auric light.

Take a look at the image and you will see the image of their head and within it an interesting combination of patterns.

Then wait until the person comes down with a cold and is feeling miserable and do the experiment again. This time instead of just seeing gradations of light you will see dark blotches in several parts of their head. It will look a lot different from the time you looked at them when they were feeling well.

In both instances the physical colors would be the same, but the after images from the etheric body will be significantly different. This would not be the case if the image was merely caused from the viewing of physical colors.

Hope this helps. You are welcome to ask more questions.

Eternity is the source of energy. – Nikola Tesla.

2006 Gathering at Kalispell, Montana, Part 1

July 4, 2025 Joseph Dewey

2006 Gathering at Kalispell, Montana, Part 1
Taking Charge

JJ: First of all, in order to contact the Solar Angel, your Higher Self, the Higher parts of your nature, or as Abraham Lincoln called it The Higher Angels of your nature — there are several layers that we have to break through. Jesus said these words: “Except ye become a little child, you shall no wise enter the Kingdom of God.”

What do you think he meant when he said that? Does that mean we are supposed to turn into babbling idiots, all of us, or does that mean we are supposed to turn into little crybabies? Or does that mean that we are supposed to listen to some authority and not think for ourselves? Or does it mean something else about a little child? What do you think?

Audience: “Open to wonder and learning without any kind of preconceived bias.”

JJ: Yeah, I am a member of several discussion groups and one that I was checking out were discussing this subject. And the guy there is kind of guru, and he was telling the members that you have to become like a little child and whatever he says you must believe. Do you think that is what Jesus meant? Whatever I say you just believe, do not question it, just accept it. I questioned him on this and he condemned me to hell!

Audience: Laughter.

JJ: Every time I check out a group or forum, I get condemned to hell, especially, if it is religious in nature. I haven’t joined any of the political ones yet, and I don’t know what they would they do to me if I did. I would probably get the same type of flack. There was one guy who condemned me to be a son of perdition. The guy said to me, you are the only guy I have ever done this to but you are condemned to be a son of perdition. He thought he had authority because he thought he was the actual Holy Ghost incarnated. He thought he was one of the actual Trinity.

Amazing the number of big egos out there. I came across another guy a while back who thought he was the second coming of Jesus. He was making all these prophecies, and, so I made a prophecy about him. He was predicting a great earthquake that would happen within two months time and this would signal the end of the world. So I said that the great earthquake would not come but this guy will find some earthquake somewhere and say that this was the great earthquake. And that is exactly what happened. No great earthquake came, but he found some under water earthquake and said, “See? This proves that I am the second coming of Jesus. I am the true prophet.”

So what he actually did was exactly what I predicted and what he predicted did not come close to happening, but he still took credit for it. It’s amazing with prediction though, how many people will make all these predictions and if one out of one hundred comes true then they’ll jump on that one claiming to be a true prophet.

I used to collect these “rags” [entertainment newspapers] like “The Enquirer” when they used to have articles about space aliens all the time. Now instead of space aliens they have famous people like Tom Cruise, Angelina Jolie and people like that. Others such as the “World Weekly News” and “The Sun” are really wild rags. I have always taken an interest in them, even though I realize a lot of the information in them was not true.

For instance, I read about events in Idaho, USA, where stuff was supposed to happen in towns that do not even exist. A while back I saw a picture of the federal building in Fairfield, Idaho and there is no federal building there, it is just a little po-dunk place. So, they are definitely making a bunch of stuff up.

I used to collect their predictions. I thought it would be interesting because I was publishing a little thing called “Food for Thought” It was a Boise area publication and we put in over two hundred different restaurants in Boise. It had humorous stuff in it for people to read who were eating lunch and we would sell advertising in it.

I would often put some of these funny prophecies in it like a couple years ago it was predicted that Elvis would be found performing in Las Vegas, Nevada, or something like that, and when you list these prophecies from these psychics from two or three years ago it is kind of humorous because there are so few that ever pan out.

So anyway, one of these that I had seen in these “rags” that was true was the week before Princess Diana died one of them predicted that her life was in danger. This one finally got something fairly close here and I thought she was going to be taking a lot of credit for it. Surprisingly, I never heard anything else of it. I didn’t see her taking any credit for it. I never saw any article on it, but I saw a whole bunch of stuff later of people claiming to have predicted Princess Diana’s death but you couldn’t find any record that they did beforehand. This one gal did and she didn’t seem to take any credit for it, so I thought that was kind of interesting.

The future is kind of a fluid thing and this is an important thing to realize, is that we are masters of our own destiny and we are the ones who will mold our destiny. There are certain things that are going to happen for sure that have been decided, but the way these things work are two in number: one is cyclic and the other are things that have been decided. We all decided to come here, right? So the chances of us being here right now was created some time ago so there was a pretty good chance that we would be here, unless of course there was some accident or more road construction.

Audience: Laughter.

JJ: So it is important to realize that we are masters of our fate. And until a person realizes that, he will be blown about as the Bible says “with every wind of doctrine,” and just be blown about like a ship without a rudder. And where he winds up may be a good spot or a bad spot, but it will not be a spot that is under his control. There is nothing better in life than having things under your control. There’s one thing that I appreciate about the younger generation and that’s their knowledge of computers.

When I first bought my first computer in 1984 a whole bunch of stuff didn’t seem to be under my control. The programs weren’t very good, things didn’t work very good. My computer froze up a lot, and it still freezes up too much! I know Macs are getting better, and I use a Mac, I know they are improving all the time. It’s fun how things getting more under control. Then the Internet first comes and the connection is 28 kilobytes or whatever they were. The connection was really slow, then it went to 56 kilobytes. Now we are on cable things seem to be more responsive and under more control. You can be having fun clicking on something and you get there and then all of sudden your service goes out of commission for 6 hours. When you lose control, it is kind of frustrating. But when you get things under your control, your mind is a lot happier; things are a lot more fun.

Yet, so many people think that the way life works is that nothing is under your control. You just have to turn everything over to Jesus and everything to the whims and everything to the heart itself. But have you ever noticed that the people that take control of their lives, are the ones that are the masters of their destiny? They are the ones that are happy.

This sets certain people apart, like say Donald Trump, for instance. (written in 2010) He has a very strong philosophy; he really likes things to be under his control and that is why he is so successful in his field of endeavor. Now to be successful does not mean you have to build buildings like Donald Trump did. Maybe you want to be successful in another area like say raising a family. We want to be under control with our kids, but to have control of your children you have to let them have some control too. It can’t be all just one way. When we try to have 100 percent control of our kids and treat them like little puppets then we lose control. To have the most control takes a skilled navigator; make a slight turn here and a slight turn here, using your judgment until he puts the ship under control so the ship arrives where desired. If the person who is guiding the ship thinks that he is going to have rigid control and that he is going to just hold it really tight and steer straight ahead. Well pretty soon the ship is going to bear off course and he is going to have to make corrections as he goes. Whether it be with our own life or the kids or the job we each have to take control and make corrections until the goal is achieved.

The greatest mistake you can make in life is to be continually fearing you will make one. – Elbert Hubbard

Changes after 2025

July 3, 2025 Joseph Dewey

Changes after 2025

A reader mentioned that we are not far from the time mentioned in my book “The Gathering of Lights,” which was written around 1984. Here is a quote:

“Some of the philosophies that will be popular in the New Age are now permeating society to a greater extent than was even hoped for by the disciple of the mid twentieth century. Before 1975 only the intuitive person was able to grasp ‘enlightened’ doctrine, but 1975 marked a cycle of penetration. From this time to 2025-30 the seekers will embrace various stages of New Age thought and present it to their peers in an acceptable manner. Sometime after 2025-30 will begin the seven years (or periods) of burning the weapons of Gog. During this time the old emotional fires which fight the new age will be consumed and Gog and his armies will find that they are void of instruments with which to fight the Christ consciousness After the seven years burning, the fundamentalist clinging to a certain creed or dogma will be an oddity for the ignorance of old dogmas will be clearly manifest. Then will be fulfilled the scripture:

“‘Every man’s work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is. If any man’s work abide (continue to be accepted through the New Age) which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.’ (1 Corinthians 3:13-14)”

“The seven years are symbolic of seven periods of transition which may or may not last for that time period.”

JJ: There will be changes by 2030 but the transition to the New Age will be far from complete. Instead, this will be a turning point one way or another. It is expected to be one for the better, paving the way for an age of peace and cooperation.

After this will begin the seven cycles of transition which I believe will consists of years each rather than a year each. Each cycle is likely to be closer to a generation than a year. During these seven cycles the old ways no longer useful will be dropped, or as if they are burned, not to be retrieved.

One thing overlooked by many are the changes that have transpired to date. As we live through the decades, which seem to pass rather slowly, we are often unaware of the changes which have occurred. Because changes occur slowly it sometimes seems that nothing is happening until we reflect back a couple decades and measure the change.

There have been some changes that have been regressive and others progressive. We are now at a point where the two types of changes are in conflict, thus explaining the political and philosophical turmoil we have in the present. Much of this will be resolved in the next two decades and a new cycle of change and conflict will come.

Prophets

A seeker wrote me and made this comment:

“All the ‘prophets’ I have met so far claim that they are the only true ones, and the rest are false and of the Devil.

“If you know at least a couple of contemporary prophets who accept each other and complement each other’s teachings and works, please let me know….”

I responded with:

I think that all people who are looking for a true prophet will look in vain because the true spiritual teachers on the earth will not make any claim to be a prophet. They will merely go forth and do their work and perhaps after they are gone some may call them prophets. But such titles are so distorted in this age that they are not accepted by true servants.

Those who presently call themselves prophets are not prophets, but there are true servants walking the earth today that are performing a corresponding work to the prophets of old. They are just not called prophets and some are not even thought of as being spiritual.

Men strive for peace, but it is their enemies that give them strength, and I think if man no longer had enemies, he would have to invent them, for his strength only grows from struggle. – Louis L’Amour
