The Bottomless Pit

For some time now we have heard talk about the void, a point of nothingness as if this is a desirable place to go or be. This idea has always ran against my grain and I wondered to myself if such a concept was talked about in the scriptures and sure enough it was:

“The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.” Rev 17:8

Here it is! The illusionary Beast that destroys the souls of mankind comes from the void or the “bottomless pit.” The description of his origin sounds a lot like the description of the void we have been getting. It “was, and is not, and yet is.”

Have we not heard this argument in relation to ourselves and the reality we are in? “We seem real, but we are not really here, but then in an illusionary way we are here.”

Now there is a big difference between the origin of the Beast and you and me. The Beast truly has no real existence, but is created by an astral thought form and sustained by fear which is also a temporary emotion. As soon as the fear is dissipated the beast will return to the “bottomless pit” and then it will be as if he never existed.

The essence of a human being, however, never had a beginning and when we die we do not go to a void and become as though we are not, but we go to a real place which is the opposite of a void.

There is a powerful law which says that “energy follows thought” and thus if we belief and think that we can go to such a void, the power of the God within will create an illusion of a void that will slow progression to zero until the person tires of the attempt to be no-thing.

The scriptures indeed tell us that this void is about as close to hell as one can get to:

“And he (the angel) laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,

“And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.” Rev 20:2-3

The writings of Alice A. Bailey are in harmony with the scriptures on this. DK says that a void is created within when the soul is rejected again and again through full attention on self rather than the higher realities of soul and Spirit. When attention is focused on this illusionary point to the exclusion of the soul then an illusionary vehicle is created out of mental matter that is beyond the reach of soul. When this happens in completeness the person becomes a Dark Brother and lives in a literal void. This void, or bottomless pit, becomes like an individual black hole that pulls all that remains of him into the primeval state and the elements that made his vehicles will return to their essence. Then billions of years hence the soul will rebuild the entity on sounder principles.

Now everyone that believes in “the void is wonderful” idea is not a Dark Brother by any means, but I do believe that this is an idea promoted by them to trap the souls of men.

This also goes along in the belief that we can escape cause and effect.

The only way to appear to be free from cause and effect is through the denial of the soul and the creation of an illusionary mental body where soul is not.

This person will seem immune from normal effects to some degree. What he will not realize is that he will experience the most terrible effect of all and that is the destruction or dissolution of all that makes him what he is – all that he has created in a progression over myriads of ages of time.

Belief is the beginning point of a journey and if we start out going the wrong direction and do not turn around with higher realization then we will eventually wind up in the wrong place, and (IMHO) the wrong place is the void.

Independent Thinking

As I have pointed out before – there are two methods of achieving oneness. The first is allowing an authority figure to replace the God within and then allowing this authority to do your thinking for you. This results in following the authority over God.

The second way to oneness (which is the only real oneness) is to touch the soul together and so the two see through the same eyes of the Spirit. When two or more with soul contact see as one they will appear to some to be following that which is without in blindness whereas they are following that which is within with vision. Only when the onlooker sees this same inner vision can he understand. I assure you that whenever I say anything that does not ring true to soul that I will be called upon it by even my strongest supporters.

Rick has done so recently and even Glenys questions me from time to time. Sometimes those who are in great harmony with me through the oneness principle send their questions through private e-mail such as this one from Glenys:

“I have taken from your previous writings that females have magnetic, receptive energy and somehow got the impression that the leaders who are to appear to prepare mankind for the return of the Christ would need to be men with their sending energy in order to attract more people to the cause. I saw female energy as just as important but playing a role that was more supportive in nature. Therefore, I thought the anointed ones would be men because they would need to be ‘out there’. I somehow thought that female masters would come later when humanity was more ready for them.”

Glenys here was looking at two teachings that I have posted and one seemed to contradict the other. I can tell you this about her and that is that if my explanation does not ring true with her soul that it will not be accepted.

Notice that before she jumps on me for being wrong that she asks for clarification of my teachings. In the end if what I say is in harmony with her soul then all will be well, but if it is not then I will guarantee that she will not blindly follow. She has had enough experience with me so she may give me the benefit of the doubt where soul confirmation is not readily available, but I know she and many others in the group would choose the voice of their souls over any authority I may have.

This situation does not exist in any of the churches I know about. I was excommunicated from the Mormon church only because of my thoughts about the scriptures, not for anything I did.

Now to answer Glenys’ question.

“It is true that in the Molecular Order that the females have the magnetic-receiving energy and the males are radiant-sending? It is also true that from a higher view the male-female combinations will be viewed as one Adam (atom) or one unit of greater balance.”

The members of the molecules will, especially in the beginning, lead dual lives – one as an individual and another as a member of a group life. The group life will have its goals, but this will not prohibit the individual from acting within his own sphere and initiating in harmony with his or her own soul.

It is possible that some of these nine of prophesy will be male/female units acting as one, but it is also possible that some could be individuals either male or female. The thing to remember is that the greater powers or the soul and spirit are much more accessible when disciples operate within their natural energy. The female’s natural line of force is magnetism but for the male it is action-radiation.

In the beginning of the creation of human molecules there will be some imperfection in the lining up of energies and there will be times when the physical female will assume the male energy and the physical male will assume the female energy. This will produce some stress on the male-female units but it will not always prohibit the creation of a successful molecule. If the twenty-four plus members of a molecule allow the spiritual energies to flow without resistance a link can be established.

Here is another point. The Brotherhood are working through disciples all over the planet and even after the first molecule is created there will be many high disciples around the globe who may not be aware of it or drawn to it. Eventually, all disciples will be molecular on the physical plane, but for some time to come there will be many who are only linked through their work to an unseen molecule of the Brotherhood.

So ladies – do not forego initiating because that is “a man’s job.” There is equal opportunity here. Sometimes male and female will work together, as my wife and I do in many areas, and sometimes you must act as an individual.

Madam Blavatsky was in a female body yet was a much more powerful initiate and leader than was her male associates.

No matter which sex we are, no matter what age or race, there are always more opportunities for leadership and initiation than we can imagine.

Appreciating the Rainbow

There is a teaching in circulation that cause and effect is an illusion from which we need to escape, but without cause and effect what do we have? Nothingness. Not much to get excited about or look forward to.

In almost every post readers tell us of something that brings joy into their lives and the interesting thing is that all these things are related to cause and effect. I’ve never heard anyone on or off this group ever tell me something like this:

“I’ve had a great time today in the void of nothingness.”

In fact such a statement would be an oxymoron because there is no time or consciousness in the void.

A reader mentions that she:

(1) Had a great time in chat rooms

(2) Enjoys her dream state

(3) Saw a magnificent rainbow

These are all enjoyments from cause and effect.

I would say this. That if all of this reader’s enjoyments, as well as the rest of us, come from cause and effect that we are much too identified with duality to even consider any immediate departure.

Any release from cause and effect is pure theory that has never been demonstrated much less explained in any reasonable way.

If it were possible to escape cause and effect for even a moment you would disappear body mind and soul from this reality and the world would be as if you had never existed. I’m not sure about the rest of you but this path has no interest for me.

I suggest that we keep in touch with the reality of cause and effect to the extent that we can at least appreciate a rainbow.

Harry

I want to introduce you to one of the most mysterious teachings of them all. This is about Harry the causeless computer bug. He is one bug but is in every single computer. He is in my computer, your computer and Alonzo’s laptop in a mountain villa in Italy.

But Harry is a strange little bug, much different from other computer bugs that annoy us and cause our computers to crash and go crazy on us. Harry creates no cause and produces no effects. Thus Harry lives in all computers in a state of no-thing-ness and does nothing. He is not even Being because being creates a state of peace. He is not at peace nor is he in turbulence. He just is – in a state between cause and effect influenced by neither of them.

You would probably never know about Harry if I did not tell you because Harry occupies no space and does not live in time and only does one thing for all eternity.

Nothing.

That is all he can do because to do anything would be to create cause and effect and Harry has committed himself to do neither.

I am Harry’s representative and as such I wish to promote Harry’s lifestyle and urge you to join with him.

Here is what you do. Hold on to your computer and say OM-HARRY three times and concentrate on blending with Harry. If you are successful you will disappear from this illusionary world and become nothing with Harry.

I have already taught this to one other person who successfully made the change and that was Phil, the founder of this group. But as soon as Phil became nothing with Harry he became causeless and then it became as if he never was or that he never created the group at all. Now it appears that Rick initiated the group.

Now I am curious what would happen if Rick became causeless. Maybe Glenys would be the group initiator, or maybe there would be no Keys of knowledge discussion group.

Whatever the case if you are tired of seeing sunsets and rainbows… If you are tired of the sun at day and the stars at night… If you are tired of smelling flowers in spring and the breeze of the sea air at night… If you are tired of seeking happiness and joy through love and service – your troubles are now over. Just say OM-HARRY three times as you cling to your computer and you will cease to be – cease to have cause or effect and will become nothing with Harry.

Do I hear a question?

Yes. “How can you know that Harry really exists and that you can be one with him?

That’s kind of hard to answer because if Harry exists he will create cause so technically Harry does not exist therefore I cannot prove to you that he exists or demonstrate to you what it would be like to be one with him. The big advantage of being one with Harry is that you get to escape all the responsibilities of Becoming. No longer will you have to make any Decision or have any goal again for all eternity.

Does this not sound glorious my friends? Who will be the next to join Harry?

beCAUSE

Members are certainly far from being causeless here to bring up this old subject of oneness and cause and effect again. Perhaps it has been too peaceful for some here lately for old timers all know that this subject does always cause heated discussion as has it has numerous times in the past.

A reader maintains that the body blinks in and out of existence 14 times a second. I do not know where this idea came from, but I am sure that no real scientist believes this and I am quite sure that he cannot produce any evidence of this concept.

A regular camera has a shutter speed of one one thousandths of a second and some high speed ones go up to 1/10,000’s of a second and still the solid form is photographed. Never, not once in millions of photographs has this void you speak of been photographed.

If there is any blinking at all it would be less than a trillionth of a second, much less. And even if there is blinking this does not eliminate cause and effect. The blinking itself would be an effect of some cause.

It is true that matter is mostly empty space and what appears to be not empty is composed of wavelengths. But the wavelengths that create all form are the effect of some cause.

Spirit is merely matter of a higher vibration and matter is Spirit at low vibration. Both are subject to cause and effect. Spirit causes impregnation of matter and effects life.

I agree that cause and effect is eternal. There never was a time when they did not exist. It is said by many that God is a first cause, but the truth may be the other way around. God may be an effect of the eternal interplay of cause and effect.

Einstein’s special theory of relativity does not negate cause and effect. Let us suppose Einstein’s theory is correct (I believe we will make corrections to it when we develop interstellar flight).

If we approach the speed of light we merely introduce a new cause that creates a new effect on time. Cause and effect are not negated, but used.

There is a challenge I made in that previous post she quoted which reads:

“I can show you billions of examples of karma (cause and effect). But can you show me even one example of anything that is real that creates no cause and effect? It takes a tremendous leap of faith to believe so strongly in that for which no example can be given. Why would someone believe in a place (Harry) beyond cause and effect if such a place cannot be demonstrated internally or externally??? You can in deep meditation attempt to withdraw into perfect stillness, but even this meditation (cause) has the effect of peace or stillness of thought.

I issued this challenge some time ago and no one has taken me up on it. Many come forth claiming that there are things that transcend cause and effect, yet can offer no example or teach the rest of us retards how to attain this place or witness.

If one is to teach about Harry he should be prepared to show us Harry, or at least a method of proving Harry to ourselves.

This teaching of transcending cause reminds me of the Church’s teaching of an Unknown God beyond our understanding causing its members to cease thinking and just blindly follow.

Wavelengths, Dreams and More

Anni asked some questions for a lecture series she is participating in so I thought I would share her answers here.

Anni: 1. Chapter 1 (page 1 when printed) you write: “In order for the ONE to manifest, It had to become the MANY. To manifest, the ONE Decision reflected Itself from the Prime Cause. Because the Prime Cause is infinite, the reflection was infinite; and infinite points of Decision filled and created all space….”

Later in the same chapter – right before the picture of the circular ball (page 5 when printed) you say: “In actuality, before the first wavelength there was no space or time for space and time are created out of the wavelengths. Because there was no space or time there was no direction. Therefore, the first wavelength had to go all directions at once through all the infinite reflections: up, down, front, back and sideways….”

My question: But did not the reflections CREATE space as you said first? Or is it because “time” has not been created yet that this seems contradictory?

JJ: First I have a correction on my wording. Where the word “infinite” is used it should be worded “unlimited,” to be technically correct.

When the unlimited reflection occurred innumerable points of creation were mapped out in the imagination of God (for want of a better word) and these points began to vibrate together creating the first great wavelength which was one wavelength composed of innumerable points. – thus the one life and the many.

The higher planes still have points of life in a type of vibration but because of the oneness and connectiveness there is not form or time as we understand the term. This term is also used by DK. He hints at the idea that time exists in the higher planes, but not as we understand it.

It helps to realize that the entire seven planes make up the higher physical plane called the cosmic physical. In the cosmic physical there would be time and space. Thus even our higher four planes where time and space do not exist, as we understand the term, form a part of the time and space of the cosmic physical.

To say that there is no time and space in the higher realms is not exactly correct for the lower is a reflection of that which is higher. The higher is just a different version of that which is lower.

DK talks about the point of nothingness, or pralaya, that many have discussed on the group and says this about it:

“From the higher vision, that sees the subtler continuously overshadowing the dense when not in objective manifestation, pralaya is simply subjectivity, and is not that ‘which is not,’ but simply that which is esoteric.” Esoteric Healing, Page 419

The higher realms and formless worlds are esoteric to us now but shall not be when we are there.

Anni continues: 2. Chapter 1 (page 2 when printed) you write: “At the same non time that Purpose was created the vibration of Light and Love was manifest within the originating wavelength. Light and Love and Purpose exist for eternity beyond time in the Eternal Now.” Chapter 2 (page 1 when printed) you say: “We shall pay particular attention to Light and Love, for they are the root cause of the great illusion that separates, or appears to separate, man from God. Both Light and Love have beginning and ending points and all things with a beginning and an end are illusion. However, they are from an eternal source; thus, they manifest periodically for all eternity, but such manifestation always has a beginning and an end, and is therefore illusionary…”

My question: How can Love and Light have beginnings and endings if they were created before time? When were time and space created? Not until the wavelength of Purpose vibrated on the Buddhic plane and created time and space on the mental plane? Or?

JJ: Just as the eternal part of you is the idea of you in the mind of God, even so, the eternal part of light and love are the idea of them within God.

Before there is form as we recognize that there are wavelengths existing in worlds of formless (from our point of view) vibration. Wherever there is vibration there are wavelengths and where there are wavelengths there are Trinities. There is the top of the wavelength, the bottom and the point at the center symbolized by Light and Love and Purpose.

Form as we understand it is not created until various wavelengths gather into groups and circle and spiral around each other. Imperfect circles in motion thus create form, space and time as we understand them.

The creation of form, space and time is an extension of Purpose Light and Love. Yet everywhere that the wavelengths manifest they manifest a very real illusion for the purpose of experience. Even the wavelength that manifests light and love is withdrawn into Purpose periodically, but as DK says it is “not that which is not, but that which is simply esoteric.”

It is difficult for us to clarify with our consciousness that which is outside of our consciousness.

Anni: 3. Chapter 2 (close to the end) you write: “All things that are manifest are created by male and female energies and all these energies are united in form through the process of marriage, or union. Marriage is motivated through Purpose and gradually guides all male and female energies away from duality and separateness toward unity and oneness. Relationship, marriage or the union of male and female energies, leads all life forms back to their Source.”

My question: Always? I can understand that this is happening during the evolution and in this way always, because evolution always follows involution. But isn’t there an involution? A time when separateness gets bigger – like the waves getting bigger?

JJ: The interplay of male and female energies (or the light and love parts of the wavelength) takes place during both involution and evolution. The main difference is this. During involution the interplay goes out of balance and during evolution they head back toward balance. In the process of this journey a new wavelength is created by the spiral movement of the point going in and out of experience. This lays the foundation for new creation.

I was asked to comment on whether or not masters have incarnated among us.

Some Masters and initiates have incarnated to fill various rolls in bringing in the new age. Not all of them will be involved in what we call spiritual work, but all who are successful will be working for the benefit of mankind. Looking for Masters among our brethren tends to create a division and often an illusionary one. Therefore, the true masters who will be doing their job will walk among us as equals and not seek for recognition of any status. As I have said before there are some fairly high initiates who have gotten side-tracked and caught up in illusion and will have to backtrack to get back to where they once were. This has caused some restructuring of plans, but there are certain high decisions that cannot be altered by anything we do.

Will they all be men?

Advanced initiates can choose their sex. Whether or not they will be men or women will depend on where the greatest opportunity for service exists.

James writes: Does anyone else feel we should get together in some kind of business venture or would it be better to find our own variety of self sufficient way to make a living???

JJ: Eventually many of those who actively work to establish the kingdom of God will work together to make a living. The problem with this age is that we have to spend so much of our time just making a living that the only way that many of us can spend enough time together to create oneness in the soul is by working together for our livelihood. This is a desirable goal to pursue, especially when the time comes that Molecular Businesses are created.

Some time ago someone asked a question about what happens during sleep. The answer is quite interesting.

There are two magnetic cords that connect the spirit to the body. One is linked to the heart and the other to the head. When you sleep the consciousness in the head departs and your thinking consciousness manifests on a higher plane of the soul. When we awake we generally have no memory of what we learned and experienced because the consciousness was away from the physical computer brain that records memory for waking consciousness.

The connection to the heart, however, remains intact during sleep.. Now many new agers tell us to disregard the mind and live in the heart only. Actually this is what happens during sleep, so if we took their advice we would be in the normal sleeping state all the time.

What causes dreams? It is generally the interplay of the heart with stored memories in the physical brain. The heart part of ourselves is missing the mind so the next best thing to compensate is the computer brain and the interplay between the two (heart and brain) produce dreams over which the mind has no control because it is not present. This is why the mind has difficulty in remembering dreams – it did not actually go through the dream experience but registers some of the memory upon returning when waking.

Sometimes the mind or higher self will send impressions to cause us to have dreams of significance. When this happens you will wake up with a memory of the dream and a feeling that the dream is important and you should contemplate the meaning.

What is the difference between sleep and death?

In sleep only one of the major parts of yourself is absent. In death both the life in the heart and the mind depart to the spiritual realms.

The Authority to Heal

Even though many energies come into play in the cause of illness they all fall within two general categories.

Category One: Diseases of congestion

Category Two: Diseases of inflammation.

What do you suppose would be the difference in approach necessary in treating these two categories?

Someone mentioned my favorite herb which is golden seal. But you want to get the root powder which is much more potent than the tea.

Where this herb really shines is when you feel some nausea or upset stomach. If you mix a quarter teaspoon in a little water and drink it you will often feel better instantly. There is nothing else like it. It has a powerful taste so most people take it in capsule form. It takes about 15 minutes to notice something this way and I think you lose a little potency.

Diseases of congestion are caused by holding too much energy within. The blockage or bottleneck of energy will often manifest as some unwanted growth such as cancer or blockage of the arteries creating heart disease.

With inflammation the person throws off more energy than he takes in and thus develops rashes, skin problems, inflammations, allergies, fevers, some nervous disorders etc.

The key to spiritual healing is to find the center that controls the affected area and send energy to remove the blockage if there is congestion, or to quiet the energy if there is inflammation.

We will cover scientific spiritual healing in more detail in the future for we will eventually create healing groups in the physical as well as the New Jerusalem meditation.

Some people believe that healing by faith is all psychological. Is there such a thing as true healings by faith? If so what is the principle behind it? How can we harness this power so such healings are more available to us?

I’m glad to see that members really do believe in the power of faith after all. And when I say faith I mean to use the word as it was used in ancient times.

Perhaps it would be helpful to the group if I relate my first experience with the power of faith.

As a young teenager I became active in the Mormon Church. About the age of sixteen I figured it was about time to learn what the church really believed so I read the Book of Mormon. What impressed me most about the book was the comparison of the faith and experiences of the people in the book to the current LDS church. Miracles and the exercise of faith seemed to be a common thing in both the Book of Mormon and the Bible yet I did not see anything like those ancient works in the current church.

After I finished the book I had a sense that the faith in the churches today was weak and this was not supposed to be the case – that miracles are just as possible today as they were in ancient times.

I was thinking along these lines one day when I was walking home from school and as I walked by the home of a classmate I noticed her in her yard hobbling about on crutches. She had recently been struck with Multiple Sclerosis and was quickly deteriorating. I stopped and watched her for a moment and my heart went out to her as I thought about how healthy and vibrant she was just a short time ago, but now she seemed to be doomed to a short and painful life.

As I looked at her from a distance (she didn’t seem to notice my gaze) a thought occurred to me. Why couldn’t I just stretch forth my hand and command her to be healed just like one of the ancient prophets? Do not the scriptures tell us that whatever we ask in faith in the name of Jesus Christ shall be done? What was there to prevent me from doing this right now, I thought to myself?

As I asked myself these questions another thought came into my mind, almost like an answer given from some unseen source. It went something like this.

“Hold on there! Who do you think you are? If there are any miracles to be had they must be done through the authority of the Church and only with the authorized Melchizedek Priesthood. You do not have this priesthood yet and therefore you have no authority to heal.”

After this impression came to me with great force I began to doubt myself and just about walked on, but then my mind reflected back to the scriptures and I thought of several miracles where the disciples merely healed by faith in Christ with no mention of any priesthood or church position. Then these words came into my mind: “Whatsoever you ask in the name of Christ shall be done.”

I again looked in the direction of my friend with the intention of healing her by faith, but again the doubt came:

“You have no authority to heal. You would displease God to even attempt it.”

Then after a moment of doubt the other voice came:

“Whatsoever you ask in the name of Christ shall be done.”

These two thoughts bounced back and forth in my consciousness for what seemed to be an eternity, but I knew it was only a short moment. After this point of tension I realized that my choice was between the church and the scriptures so I decided to rely on the word of the scriptures. I realized that the promise of the scriptures was predicated on faith and not position.

After making a definite decision to proceed I stretched forth my right hand and looked at her in the distance and whispered: “I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to be healed!”

Immediately after finishing this sentence I felt a tremendous power surging through my body. It was so powerful it made me weak and I almost fell to the ground. My first thought was that maybe I was wrong to heal contrary to church guidelines and that perhaps God was going to strike me with his wrath. I ran home and laid down a few moments and collected myself. It wasn’t long before I seemed to return to normal but I felt that perhaps I should think twice before being so brazen as to attempt a miracle again without the blessing of the church.

I pretty much put the incident out of my mind until two days later at school I noticed that my classmate was attending again and seemed to be walking and playing like any normal teenager. I approached her and asked her about her recovery.

She said she seemed to be fine now and her doctor told her that she was experiencing a remission, but there was no guarantee it would last.

At this point I realized that the power of God I felt flow through me was not God striking me, but that this was some type of healing power that passed through me into her. I sensed that she was having more than a remission, but she was actually healed from a so-called incurable disease.

I kept an eye on her all through high school and noticed that her health seemed fine until graduation after which I never saw her for about 35 years. Then after all this time came a day when my wife and I were having breakfast in a local restaurant. As we were talking a lady approached our table and said to me: “You’re Joe Dewey, aren’t you?”

“Yes,” I said. “And you would be?”

I did not even recognize her until she introduced herself as my old classmate who was healed. After we talked a while I asked her if her MS ever came back and she told me that it never did. In fact she told me she outlived her husband who had died a few years back.

After she went back to her table my wife asked me if that was the lady that I had told her about. I told he that it was.

She said – You mean you never told her the real reason she was healed.

I told her that I didn’t see any reason to.

This incident does answer one important question that some have asked. Does the one who is to be healed need to be aware of the healing process to be healed? Obviously the answer is no, at least in some cases.

Since this occurrence I have had many other realizations in connection with healing, but that will have to wait for another installment

I believe this incident was arranged by my Higher Self so I would learn to rely upon the inner voice instead of the outer authorities if the church.

Focus My Son

A reader commented on the financial problems he was having making it difficult to accomplish spiritual work.

First, let me say that I have been where you are and worse and have empathy with you.

It is often a difficult challenge for creative and spiritually minded people to meet their needs on the material plane. Indeed this is the very reason that many disciples who have incarnated to assist in the bringing forth of the kingdom of God are neutralized.

Earlier in my life I found myself in and out of awkward situations such as is happening to you until I made a discovery. I discovered that I was trapped in an illusion.

And what illusion was that?

Because I saw myself as being on the spiritual path I felt that spiritual and creative aspiration must come first. The problem with this though was that it did not work for me. Whenever I applied myself spiritually my physical world fell apart to the extent that I had to forgo all things spiritual and concentrate on the material, which thing I found to be very frustrating.

After much wasted time, pain and distress to me and my family I finally went into contemplation deep with an open heart to any answer and here is what came to me.

My approach may have been fine for the passing age, but we are entering a new age with new lines of approach with new emphasis and in this age a balance must be achieved between God and mammon, the spiritual and the physical.

My soul thus told me to shift my physical emphasis from the creative and the spiritual to physical reality and develop a means to become self sufficient. Concentrate on this with a one-pointedness until I can at least take care of myself and then shift attention back to the spiritual work.

Making this shift was one of the most difficult things of my life but when I made a definite decision and followed the inner voice I felt a tremendous peace and this confirmed that I had made the right decision.

I therefore, found myself putting my energies on my weakest point, for monetary matters and business was my most fragile point, but I have learned since that the soul is more interested in us developing that which is weakest within us more that displaying that which is strongest.

Now just because I followed my soul here that does not mean I had a easy time of it. I resisted this message from my soul for 20 years of my life and after I finally yielded it took ten years of struggle to get in the position where I needed to be. In many ways I feel I needed to work twice as hard as the average person because I was working where my ability was weak.

Now I feel that that which was weakest within me is becoming my strength and that I hope to do some productive things in the business world in the near future – balancing the spiritual and the material.

I rejoice now that I followed my soul because if I had not I would have not had the means to publish the Immortal. It would probably be sitting on my desk gathering dust awaiting some magical financial gift that would never appear.

So, I’m not saying that you have the same path as myself, but I give you my experience as a point of meditation for you. No matter what your situation there is always a way out. What I have found in my life is that the way out as shown me by my soul is often the last choice of my individual self.

I was asked to elaborate on the word “rent” as it is used in the Bible.

First, here are two scriptures where the word is used:

“Then the high priest rent his clothes, saying, He hath spoken blasphemy; what further need have we of witnesses? behold, now ye have heard his blasphemy.” Matt 26:65

“And Jesus cried with a loud voice, and gave up the ghost. And the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom.” Mark 15:37-38

In ancient times when people felt more emotion or outrage than they could express in words they “rent their clothes.” Sometimes they would actually tear them and other times they would just rip their robe off or partially off.

Thus when Jesus indicated that he was the Son of God the High priest felt more outrage than he could express so he tore off his robe to express his emotion.

The most profound use of this word was the description of the renting (ripping) of the veil of the temple at the apparent death of Jesus. This is symbolic of the outrage from heaven itself. That the crucifixion of one as holy as Jesus by those he was only seeking to serve was beyond words to express, even for God.

This renting of the veil has several other meanings one of them being that the veil between heaven and earth was rent so the path is paved for communion between the two.

I see that a reader has been sending e-mails to some of the group so I thought I would surf over to his group to see what has been going on there. Most of it is standard “warnings about the end” type of stuff except for an interesting exchange initiated by our Brian who is a member of Both groups. Brian asked him point blank if he thought he was God. He dodged the answer for several posts but Brian wouldn’t back down and the reader finally admitted that he thought he was.

Then a funny thing happened. A new member showed up and he declared himself to be the real God, plus a number of larger than life historical characters. After this another member posted a hint that he was such a great being that the truth would put God to shame and blow people’s minds if they only knew.

The scriptures tell us that “like attracts like” so I guess it stands to reason that one who sees himself as the God of the planet would attract some competition.

The real truth is that Xavier is the God of the galaxy so if any of these other gods get out of hand we’ll petition our French majesty to wave his little finger.

(Note: Xavier has been quiet lately. I thought this might wake him up).

Actually, I would have never brought up this God thing with our reader if he hadn’t attacked our friend, Rick and made an overt attempt to humiliate him.

Someone asked about recommended books to read and John suggested reading the archives first. That is good guidance for the teachings there do lay a foundation for much of what is to come in our discussions. So I agree. The archive reading should be a top priority.

In addition there are many good books out there. I believe the highest writings available are those of Alice A. bailey, but they are very technical and difficult reading for many. There are several others that are easy reading yet still teach profound truths.

High on my group would be The Aquarian Gospel of Jesus the Christ by Levi. You can download this free of charge from the web or order the hard copy from Amazon.com.

A good general course on metaphysics that is very easy reading are the Teachings of the Masters of the Far East by Baird Spaulding. Even though the story part may be fictionalized the teachings are very good. The only teaching I disagree with is the account of the creation, but it is all interesting reading nonetheless.

As I mentioned earlier Secret Places of the Lion by George Hunt Williamson is also very fascinating and contains much that is true.

Neville is also one who puts some interesting truths in to books that are easy reading. He just goes by the one name.

A Course In Miracles is a good primer for the first two initiations, but if not read in the light of the soul it can lead to many illusions.

I haven’t had time to read much the past ten years, but have listened to some books on tape. I haven’t seen much come forward since the Course in Miracles that I would say teaches anything new or unique. The Celestine Prophecy presented old material in a new twist and Conversations with God (or Conversations with the Subconscious) has material that has been presented many times over. A lot of it is right out of the Seth books.

And speaking of channeled material – most of it I have read is just a rehash of outworn material. Sometimes they throw in some new vocabulary which is easy to make up.

The Seth books by Jane Roberts (which are channeled), though far from infallible, is very interesting and provides some good seed thoughts.

I’ve also enjoyed Ruth Montgomery’s books. She is the one who popularized the idea of “walk-ins.”

All the highest material is given through the “science of impression” through the Oneness Principle, or by mental telepathy.

Also do not overlook the scriptures of the world, especially the Bible. Many hidden truths lie in those pages which are often overlooked in the world of metaphysics. I do not think any writer in modern times has matched the profoundness of Isaiah or the words of Jesus.

Health and Correspondence

I have been picking up a strange energy over the past week or so and have been doing my best to let it pass through me and now it is dissipated as far as I am concerned, but I just received a phone call from my daughter late tonight that my mother fell and broke her hip and is scheduled for surgery tomorrow (actually later today).

The power of negativity as a natural consequence and also as directed by the Dark Brothers is a powerful reason for the Song of the 144,000.

In this passing Piscean Age the Dark Brothers have frustrated every work that has been initiated by the Brotherhood of Light by first seeking to destroy them physically and secondly by destroying them spiritually by frustrating them and destroying their faith and confidence in God and themselves.

Their third avenue of destruction has been to infiltrate teachings of light with darkness and illusion so the few brave souls who come through the first two storms become misdirected and wander off on strange paths.

Nothing in this physical world can prevent the interplay of positive and negative from working itself out. The Song will not do it, fearlessness will not do it and love will not do it. In fact as we take a step on the Path the interplay of the polarities is increased and the good and bad around us seems to increase.

How does the Song help then?

As you begin by focusing Attention on the Light with the Song you do not destroy the darkness, but you shine a great light which reveals the illusion of the darkness and as you are thus filled with light you create a place where darkness cannot penetrate. Light also reveals knowledge which knowledge is light which light protects from darkness because darkness has no power to penetrate light as light has power to penetrate darkness.

The second stanza of the Song protects from attacks on the Spirit by filling us with the “fires of Love.” When one is filled with love and is receiving love he will never give up his journey on the path. Only when one feels alone in a struggle does one feel like giving up.

The third stanza protects against destruction through illusion for if you are one with God you then see through the eyes of God and with such vision you will see through the illusions that attempt to steer you off the Path.

My point is that various problems will still come even with the Song, but the Song provides three points of focus that will give you power to guide your ship safely to the new land or new age.

The Song is like the sails of a ship. Maneuvering sails can guide your ship safely to its next destination, but it will not insure there will be no storms ahead. If the sails are used with intelligence you can guide your ship either through or around the various obstacles.

Therefore, let us continue to say the Song with confidence and give ourselves power to sail to the promised land.

I would also suggest a three or seven day fast on lemon juice (fresh squeezed) honey, cayenne pepper and water. You use about one lemon per pint of water and add the rest to taste.

Let me reemphasize that you end the fast with a full day of fresh fruit and vegetables.

Whenever, I have a physical problem the first thing I do is go on a fast. In my adult life fasting has cured whats ailed me every time except twice. And these two times fasting did not cure me completely I took an antibiotic and it wiped out the problem in a couple days.

The question: What are the attributes of the throat center and what about this center could be misused or frustrated to cause a problem with the hearing?

As we explore this subject of health we will see that we have not really left the subject of the Law of Correspondences for this law will be used again and again in discovering the causes of various maladies.

Now in giving out the possible causes of disease let not any so afflicted feel that they are being judged for there are many exceptions to the rule in the cause and cure of illness. Instead let those who may benefit read the words and judge for themselves in association with their own souls as to whether the correspondence applies to them.

The throat center is governed by the third ray for the average person and the seventh for the advanced. This center governs the development of the correct use of mind, creativity and inspiration as it relates to creativity.

A problem with the ears, throat or lungs could signify that the person is not paying attention carefully enough to the new creative directions that are coming from the soul through the throat center.

DK ads this thought:

“Self-pity, so prevalent a trouble, leads to acute indigestion, to intestinal trouble, to catarrh and head colds in the average person, whilst in the more advanced man it leads to chronic bronchial difficulties, gastric ulcers and unhealthy conditions connected with the teeth and the ears.” Esoteric Healing, Page 563

The lungs are connected with the throat center. What do the lungs do? They breath in air and then send it out into the world. Air corresponds to mind. Problems in connection with the lungs and breath often relate to a deficiency in learning (breathing in) or a reluctance to share that which has been learned (breathing out).

The eyes are controlled by the Agna Center between the eyebrows (5th Ray), but also strongly affected by the solar plexus and problems related to the stomach and digestive system. Treat the stomach and aid digestion and often problems in the higher parts of the body will be alleviated also.

Even though many energies come into play in the cause of illness they all fall within two categories.

Category One: Diseases of congestion

Category Two: Diseases of inflammation.

What do you suppose would be the difference in approach necessary in treating these two categories?
