Elijah and Reincarnation

May 21, 2020 Joseph Dewey

Elijah and Reincarnation

Question from LDS reader: Why do you think that Mal 4:5-6 refers to Elijah reincarnated as John the Baptist?

This is a pretty cut and dried issue which was presented starkly in black and white by Jesus, but let me cover it again.

(1) Mal. 4:5-6 and Mal 3:1 are both referring to the same individual which was to be fulfilled by John the Baptist (Elijah in a past life).

In speaking of Mal 3:1 Jesus spoke of John the Baptist saying:

“But what went ye. out for to see? A prophet? Yea, I say unto you, and more than a prophet. FOR THIS IS HE OF WHOM IT IS WRITTEN, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee…” Matt 11:9-10.

Thus there is no argument that John the Baptist is the one spoken of to fulfill this prophesy.

Now concerning a few verses later (Mal. 4:5-6) the apostles asked Jesus:

“His disciples asked him saying, Why then say the scribes that Elias (Elijah) must first come? And Jesus answered and said unto them, Elias truly shall first come and restore all things. (This refers to a future coming) But I say unto you, that Elias is COME ALREADY, AND THEY KNEW HIM NOT, but have done unto him whatsoever they listed. Likewise shall also the Son of man suffer of them. Then the disciples understood that he spake unto them of John the Baptist.” Matt 17:10-13.

Keep in mind that Elias is Greek for Elijah and all modern Bibles Translate it as Elijah to avoid confusion.

Here both Jesus and the Apostles identified the one who would precede the coming of the Messiah in Malachi as Elijah and “the disciples understood that he spake unto them of John the Baptist” when talking about its fulfillment.

But note that there would be two appearances. One as Elijah reincarnated through John the Baptist 2000 years ago and another coming to restore all things. Since the messenger in Mal 3:1 is positively identified as Elijah come again then the person named as Elijah in Mal 4:5-6 has to be one and the same person.

Even the Mormon Church (and most Bible scholars) teach that the person in both these scriptures are the same person.

The hearts of the children seeking after their fathers is just one of the meanings of this verse. Let me quote it:

“Behold, I will send you Elijah the Prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord; and he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.” Malachi 4:5-6

Joseph gave a different twist on this than is usually taught in the church:

“This is the spirit of Elijah, that we redeem our dead, and connect ourselves with our fathers which are in heaven… We cannot be perfect without our fathers. WE MUST HAVE REVELATION FROM THEM.” Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith Page 338.

This linking up with the dead is to have the effect of giving us revelation. Indeed, many of those who have passed on will at times play the roll of a guardian angel and speak to us in still moments.

As the reader mentioned the angel Moroni quoted this verse differently to Joseph Smith:

“Behold, I will reveal unto you the Priesthood, by the hand of Elijah the prophet, before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord. And he shall plant in the hearts of the children THE PROMISES MADE TO THE FATHERS, and the hearts of the children shall turn to their fathers. If it were not so THE WHOLE EARTH WOULD BE UTTERLY WASTED AT HIS COMING.” D&C 2:1-3.

And what are the promises made to the Fathers (the prophets)? There are many. In speaking of this verse Joseph Smith said that the most consistent promise made to the fathers was the building of Zion and the gathering of Israel (lights).

Note that an often overlooked part of the verse is that the heart of the Fathers will turn to the children? What does this mean?

We are the fathers of the children of the future and if we do not turn our hearts to them and prepare for them a world free from nuclear weapons, pollution, war and starvation, then indeed the earth will be smitten with a curse.

“Curse here comes from the Hebrew CHEREM which implies “utter destruction” or “extermination,” and this is a real possibility if we do not do our part in leaving our children to come an earth in which they can live in peace and abundance.

Elijah either as a reincarnated messenger or one working from the higher realms is predicted to help with our deliverance.

During the transfiguration we are told that both Moses and Elias (Elijah) appeared to Jesus, but the Inspired Version adds something rather startling for Mormon eyes. It says:

“And there appeared unto them Elias with Moses, OR IN OTHER WORDS, JOHN THE BAPTIST AND MOSES; and they were talking with Jesus.” Mark 9:3

You can’t get amore positive I.D. than that. “in other words” Elijah and John the Baptist were one and the same.

Comment: you say that “Never in history has God sent a resurrected being to accomplish what can be done by mortal men.” But there have been numerous instances where ancient prophets have appeared and assisted various servants.

Other worldly messengers have only appeared briefly, often to one person and have never done the work of mortals, rubbing shoulders with the general populace. If Joseph Smith or any other past being were to return and work with humanity it would be as one of us, not as some resurrected glorified being.

Question: Can translated beings reincarnate?

Many translated beings return to mortality.

“Wherefore, all things are theirs, whether life or death.” D&C 76:59

Question: “If murder is an “unforgivable sin,” then how could David, who committed murder, reincarnate as another prophet as some believe?

The scriptures say that murder is not forgiven “in this world.” Fortunately there are next worlds. In the New Testament “world” comes from AEON which means “an age.” If a person commits murder he will not be forgiven while he lives, but must give his life or save lives to pay the debt which brings forgiveness in a future life, world or age.

Some of the greatest leaders and teachers of humanity have had some of the largest debts to pay off.

The Magic of Power

May 20, 2020 Joseph Dewey

The Magic of Power

The Assignment:

The second sub aspect of the First Ray of Power is Power itself. We understand power as it manifests in the material world, but what do you suppose Power is from as higher point of view? Why must divine Will precede divine Power?

Actually the sub aspects of Will-Power-Purpose are interrelated and interdependent and it is only from a three dimensional outlook that we can examine them as first, second and third in order.

What exactly then is the sub aspect of power and how is it differentiated from the wholeness of the Father energy of Power?

Words from rule seven of White Magic provides a hint here:

“The midway spot which is neither dry nor wet must provide the standing place whereon his feet are set. When water, land and air meet there is the place for magic to be wrought.”

The magical power of the soul is manifest at the midway spot. Since power is manifest at the midway point, it only makes sense that the midway spot between the aspects of Will and Purpose would be called Power because that is where Power is made manifest.

The First Ray is generally called the Ray of Power because that word best describes our overall understanding of it, but without the interplay of Will and Purpose the Ray would have no real existence and be stagnate. This sub aspect is the soul of the First Ray and the soul of things is where power is made applicable.

“And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, (Purpose) and breathed (Will) into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.” (An agent of Power) Genesis2:7

As a reader mentioned, Power being at the midway point has a correspondence to Love which is the major middle aspect (Power-Love-Light). To understand this correspondence we must examine exactly what the energy of Love is.

Despite the world insisting that it is a great mystery we cannot understand, the core meaning is quite simple. “Love is that magnetic force which draws together two or more separate items. The meeting and blending of these separate creations produces an interplay – this interplay is that magic energy we sense as Love.”

What is often overlooked is that this interplay we call Love is also a form of Power. Love has power to motivate beyond all other factors and this is because it is so strongly linked with the sub aspect of power itself.

The magnetic power of Love then pulls together Will and Purpose and as they interplay at the midway point the magical Power of God becomes manifest.

Power as humanity views it is an active force. Things have to get pushed around before power is recognized, but the Power from God is different from this. From a higher point of view, the various motions which we see as power are merely effects, not real Power.

The sub aspect of Power is an invisible seed planted in the thought of God which is picked up by the thought of advanced Lives and planted in advanced minds. Real power becomes manifest when true realization occurs. This realization creates changes which are more than passing effects, but eternal as they fulfill the everlasting Purpose of the Most High.

The last sub aspect is Purpose.

Question. What is the meaning of this word and why do you suppose this sub aspect is named this?

First let us look at the orthodox definitions of purpose given in the dictionary:

The object toward which one strives or for which something exists; an aim or a goal.
A result or an effect that is intended or desired; an intention.
With previous design

The word comes from the Old French word “porposer,” from which the word “propose” is also derived. This indicates that purpose starts with a “proposal” (or design) and purpose is that energy that propels us toward completion of said proposal.

Generally, humanity sees purpose as merely having a goal, but if we see it as “motivation toward completion” we are much closer to the more spiritual meaning.

We go to school, choose a career and get married all because of some motivation that propels us toward a greater sense of completion, or fulfillment. Purpose drives us toward these things.

But that is Purpose as it consciously affects most of humankind. Is there higher Purpose?

Yes. There is a Purpose which all seekers sense that propels us forward on the spiritual path to seek greater completion as we merge with other souls with the realization that “all souls are one.”

As one goes up through the various levels of the Purpose energy we see that there are no words available to describe its higher meaning, but overall this is the only word we have that hints at the meaning of this sub aspect.

Beyond this all the Rays initiate from a point beyond time and space wherein dwells the One Great Life which has created all things through Purpose as I discussed in the Molecular Relationship. Our consciousness can only achieve a slim glimpse at the meaning of this originating energy, but many have found much inspiration in meditating on it.

Question: Why could there be no Purpose as we understand it without Will and Power?

Since Purpose is a female aspect (magnetic) and Will (active – radiant) is male this makes the two aspects as interdependent as male and female, positive and negative. The marriage of Purpose and Will create Power/

Question: Why is the First Ray which blends Will-Power-Purpose usually called the Ray of Power, rather than Will or Purpose?

Answer: This is because Power is the end result of the marriage of Will and Purpose. The creation (Power) thus becomes the most obvious characteristic presented to our view while the Creators (Will and Purpose) seem to be invisible behind the scenes.

It is interesting to note that as Will-Power-Purpose plays out in our lives that Power is much more sought after than the other two. We often wish for more power to make money, power to have more freedom, power to obtain love, happiness etc. Seldom do people wish for more Will and Purpose. But what must be realized is that the key to power (even personal power) is that all three of these aspects must call forth equal attention.

Understanding Will

May 19, 2020 Joseph Dewey

Understanding Will

The Assignment:

“To understand the First Ray one must contemplate these words (Will – Power – Purpose) – what they mean and how their meanings interplay.

“Think then on these three words and tell us that they mean in relation to God, humanity and each other.”

Since the group seems to be hesitant to take a stab at this let us elaborate on the first sub aspect with some additional thoughts.

WILL

What is will in relation to God and man?

Is the aspect of Will different than the quality of determination? Elaborate.

What are some evidences that a disciple is tuned into higher Will? Does it mean he is super determined or is it something else? What is the else?

DK says that “all life begins with Triangles” and since the great Rays are life in its essence it is not surprising that each of them are also composed of triangles.

As we said the First Ray of Power is composed of a triangle of sub aspects called Will-Power-Purpose.

In looking at these sub aspects, understanding is enhanced if the Law of Correspondences is used. One must keep in mind that the three sub aspects of a Ray correspond to the Holy Trinity, Father-Son-Holy Spirit, the First three Rays of Aspect or Power, Love and Light – Rays 1, 2 and 3.

Therefore Will corresponds to the Father aspect, Power to Love/Wisdom and Purpose to the Third Ray of Light or Intelligent Activity.

Will is therefore important in the understanding of this First Aspect for it is the Father energy within the Father energy itself.

The question to immediately examine then is the meaning of this most mystic word.

When the general populace use this word it is usually used in relation to a fixed determination, a power to dominate or attain. But the meaning, as it is understood by the world, is merely a lower reflection of the true reality of which even the Masters are seeking a greater understanding. Even so, the understanding of this principle within the Kingdom of God far exceeds that of the human kingdom.

Perhaps the greatest clue to understanding is given in the words of the ancient Mantra of the disciple:

“I am a point of sacrificial Fire, focussed within the fiery Will of God.

And thus I stand.”

Will, as it is known in the human kingdom, is characterized by self interest and a strong determination to achieve that interest. This, however, is merely a dim reflection of true will.

To achieve true Will one must do three things:

(1) Become “a point of sacrificial Fire.”

This is the opposite of will as we know it, for to acquire the energy of Divine Will one must sacrifice those ingredients that cause us to use determination to acquire the things of the world.

(2) Focus.

After one takes his attention away from the selfishness of the world he must then focus. Focus where? Focus “within the fiery Will of God.”

How do you focus within the fiery Will of God?

Answer: You must let go of lower will and determination, for this hides the higher will. When the apparent sacrifice (I say apparent because in reality there is no sacrifice) is made the higher stands revealed. As soon as the revelation occurs the one-pointed focus on the part of the seeker must begin.

(3) Stand.

Stand where? Stand with one-pointed thought within the Will which is perceived. When this is done successfully the principle of identification and higher Becoming will be revealed.

The Will of God is an aspect of a Decision of God which is in the process of an irrevocable manifestation. Nothing in the universe can prevent the Decisions of God from being completed. But in the world of time and space the manifestations can be speeded up or slowed down.

When one tunes into the Will of God, he transcends time and sees the Will as already done on earth as it is in heaven and merges with it by being “one with the Father.” This merging with Will is one of the true meanings of faith as it was anciently understood.

By Becoming one with the Will of God through faith one then becomes an agent of that will and if the “focus” is maintained then miraculous manifestations will occur.

But again, let me stress that the focus must be maintained and this is why the mantra has the wording:

“And thus I stand.”

From our point of view we are tempted to get discouraged and cease standing because the manifestation does not occur instantly, but from a higher point of view where time is not measured you are seen as an agent of Will manifesting in the Now.

The disciple must not consider time when seeking to manifest higher Will, but should seek only to “stand” for whatever time it takes to create the point of tension.

The Ray of Power

May 18, 2020 Joseph Dewey

The Ray of Power

A reader expresses concern over this quote from DK about the Lord of the First Ray, thinking it sounds like it could be Lucifer.

“The intent of the Lord of the first ray is to stand behind His six Brothers, and when They have achieved Their purpose, to shatter the forms which They have built. This He does by passing His power through Their bodies, and Their united effort leads to abstraction and a return to the center whence the initial impulse came. The first ray purpose therefore is to produce death, and some idea of that purpose may be gleaned if we study some of the names by which the ray Lord is called:

“The Lord of Death

The Opener of the Door

The Liberator from Form

The Great Abstractor

The Fiery Element, producing shattering

The Crystallizer of the Form

The Power that touches and withdraws

The Lord of the Burning Ground

The Will that breaks into the Garden

The Ravisher of Souls

The Finger of God

The Breath that blasts

The Lightning which annihilates

The Most High”

The first point to consider is whether you are referring to the name Lucifer as in “Bringer of Light” or the one who was a Lucifer, but is fallen and no longer bears this name, but instead is a “Prince of Darkness.”

The Light bringing aspect is the Third Ray, not the First.

I assume you are concerned that perhaps some evil source is behind all this because, for instance, the First Ray is associated with the Lord of Death.

Does this scripture help?

“I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.” Rev 1:18

Christ was actually Second Ray but worked under the First Ray Lord and thus had the keys of death making him a Lord of death as far as he wielded the Father energy.

Was not God the Lord of Death, as taught by the Biblical flood where humanity was destroyed by a great flood?

There is an important principle to follow as higher knowledge is pursued. One must look beyond the black and white of what was held dear in the past and look at the principle of good and evil in itself as it registers with the soul who receives as a little child.

If we, for instance take the scripture which says that “The Lord is a man of War” (Ex 15:3) and use it to signal a red flag when violated, then we would indeed reject Christ himself (a man of peace) if he should appear. In fact, this scriptural red flag was the very thing that caused the Jews to reject the Messiah, for time and time again he seemed to violate their literal interpretation. Again, and again, they thought the scriptures indicated he was in cahoots with the evil one for he seemed to be destroying their law.

They would have been better off to do as the prostitutes, disregard the scriptures and judge him purely on the basis of these simple questions:

Is this a good man or a bad man?

Are his teachings elevating or destructive?

Are his actions helpful and loving or hurtful?

Does he teach principles that can be registered by my soul or data that cannot be verified?

Joseph Smith had a terrible problem in dealing with members who had red flags go up when his teachings seemed to contradict an interpretation of scripture they held dear. When he taught that we are gods and man is “co-equal with God” it raised such consternation that many wanted him dead.

In addition, he spoke thus to his inner circle, he said:

“Would to God I could tell you what I know! But you would want to call it blasphemy and want to take my life.” Life of Heber C. Kimball Page 333.

This was something even beyond the man becoming God doctrine. He apparently knew some startling things that would seem to violate any black and white interpretation of scripture.

Jesus made a similar statement to the apostles.

Because higher revelation always seems (note that word) to contradict the old, the only ones who can withstand it when it comes are those who understand the basic principle of good and evil and are guided by it according to soul contact.

Now in relation to the Rays the first thing to consider is this. The essential energy of the rays is like money. It is an energy which is neither good or evil by itself. Whether or not the Ray energy is good or evil depends on the intelligence of he who wields the power.

There is a first Ray Lord on the side of Light, but there is also one on the dark side.

Those who use the First Ray on the side of light will use the name of “the Lord of death” in a positive way to further the evolution of humanity. For instance, the Brotherhood of Light used the death aspect to destroy Hitler’s Third Reich, outworn ideas, and useless forms. The Dark Brotherhood use this same aspect to destroy freedom, the souls of men and the appearance of new forms which help humanity.

The three Rays of aspect are that of Power, Love/Wisdom and Active Intelligence, or The Father, Son and Holy Spirit. These are three different perceptions of the One Life. We often call this One Life the Father, but the Father is the first aspect of the One and not the actual One Life itself. There is no name that would have much meaning to our consciousness for the One Life behind the aspects, but we know it includes the wholeness of the Trinity and embraces Father/Mother/Child.

I have received an insight into that which is behind the Three and have given it the name Purpose for want of a better word. There is no English word for it, but Purpose gives a glimmer of insight into the origin of all creation.

If you look at a baby, a flower or the night sky with thousands of stars and think of the word “Purpose” it gives one the feeling that everything is drifting toward some glorious end that we cannot imagine in our present consciousness.

The originating Purpose causes the three aspects to manifest, making creation begin, paving the way for originating Purpose to eventually be understood by Itself and its creations which are extensions of Itself.

The first glimpse then into the mind of God reveals Power, for God could not manifest if he was powerless.

The second glimpse into the mind of God reveals Love for even though God has the power, he would not create if he did not love his creations.

The third glimpse into the mind of God reveals intelligence for when Power through Love creates, the intelligence of the Creator is obvious.

Thus, the three aspects, or visions of God are Power, Love and Intelligence – and from these three all creation owes its origin.

All the rays are subdivided into lower Trinities. The Trinity that composes the First Ray of Power are these:

Will – Power – Purpose

These subdivisions are sub aspects or a different, more concentrated way of looking at God than seeing Him as Power or Purpose only.

To understand the First Ray, one must contemplate these words (Will – Power – Purpose) – what they mean and how their meanings interplay.

Think then on these three words and what they mean in relation to God, humanity and each other.

An LDS reader asks what is a Monad. Since you have a Mormon background perhaps the best way to explain is in Mormon Language.

The monad is your originating intelligence, or light of truth, that primal part of you which is eternal and co-equal with God, for it is a reflection of the one God.

In esoteric language the monad is that originating point from which your evolution into consciousness began. It is that part of you which is at one with God and is the Father aspect of your being. It is your personal “Father in heaven.”

Your monad vibrates on one of the Rays of Aspect (rays one, two or three) and not on a Ray of Attribute.

He then asks when higher principles will be restored to the Mormon church?

The future is going to unfold a lot different than is believed within the Mormon church today. So far, all the higher principles revealed since 1844 have been given to teachers outside the LDS church and will continue so for some time to come. Concerning the coming of the One Mighty and Strong predicted in Mormon scriptures you might note that he will set “the House of God” in order. Note that the prophecy does not talk about setting the “Church” in order?

And who is the House of God? It is those people of all religions and beliefs who seek after knowledge and the Spirit of God with purity of motive. Many of the pure in heart in this age feel lost in this world as if they do not belong and desire order and fellowship within the true house of God – but know not where or how to find it.

Attribute and Aspect

May 16, 2020 Joseph Dewey

Attribute and Aspect

Since the Bailey writings are difficult to understand some have expressed interest in the presentation of some of the core teachings so the whole will be easier to understand. This sounds like a good approach so we will herewith start with the central teaching of the Seven Rays.

The Seven Rays are the seven creative energies which are the creative forces, or lives, that have created all that we see in the known universe.

The seven Rays operate through many correspondences beginning with the seven Spirits mentioned in the scriptures.

Rev 1:4 John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be unto you, and peace, from him which is, and which was, and which is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his throne;

Rev 3:1 And unto the angel of the church in Sardis write; These things saith he that hath the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars.

Rev 4:5 And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices: and there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God.

Also note the Aquarian Gospel Chapter 58

19 Eternal Thought is one; in essence it is two–Intelligence and Force; and when they breathe a child is born; this child is Love.

20 And thus the Triune God stands forth, whom men call Father-Mother-Child.

21 This Triune God is one; but like the one of light, in essence he is seven.

22 And when the Triune God breathes forth, lo, seven Spirits stand before his face; these are creative attributes.

23 Men call them lesser gods, and in their image they made man.

Then the book of Revelations gives a lower correspondence:

Rev 5:6 And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.

Thus we have the Seven Spirits as representing the creators of the universe down to “seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.” These would be seven avatars or teachers to the human race.

Note in the scriptures above that the number seven keeps reappearing. Not only are there seven spirits, but there are seven churches, seven stars, seven lamps, seven trumpets and much more.

Then within our observable creation the seven creative energies manifest as the seven colors that compose the one white light and the seven notes on the musical scale.

As we study these Seven Rays it would be helpful if you had the Alice A. Bailey writings available. If you have not purchased the books you can view, download or search the text free of charge at: LINK

Assignment:

The Seven Rays are separated into two divisions. The first three are called rays of aspect and the last four are called rays of attribute.

What is the difference between a Ray of Aspect and one of Attribute and why are they called such?

The Three In One

Here is one answer we received rom Rick:

“Aspect has to do with which way something is facing, like left, right, middle. Attribute has more to do with what’s in something. On my chart, the first three rays come from the One Source and the remaining rays come out of ray three but also contain a mixture of the other two. As we discovered, when using the chart before, it is laid out intentionally to allow us to use correspondence. It would seem that the first three rays are primary ways of looking at things and the secondary or attribute rays contain mixtures of perspectives. Compare to your reactions to a given input. You can be happy or sad, which is an aspect, or you could be confused by it, with equal amounts of happy and sad, an attribute.”

Well said Rick. Actually, Djwhal Khul never clearly explained why the first three Rays are called aspects and the lower four called attributes. But this is one thing we will concentrate on here. Instead of just quoting the Bailey material, we will take certain teachings and elaborate and expand upon them.

You can read the books without the aid of me or the group. The benefit of a class like this is that it will allow us to go further than what has been written in black and white.

Rick says an aspect “has to do with which way something is facing, like left, right, middle.” My dictionary has two definitions which seem to apply:

A way in which something can be viewed by the mind.
A position facing or commanding a given direction; exposure.

To really understand the first three Rays of aspect (Rays 1, 2 & 3) we have to go back to the One Great Life, the creator of all there is.

Because in the ultimate reality “all is One” then the only way there can be more than one is to view the One from differing angles, or aspects, giving the illusion that there is more than one and from this illusionary principle or aspect, create all there is.

The aspect principle goes back to the guitar string idea I taught earlier.

If you take a single guitar string and examine it, there is before you only one string. But if you pluck it and create sound (the Word) then something magical happens before your eyes. Suddenly, as you look at the vibrating string you see not one string but three strings. These three strings are three aspects of the one string.

An attribute as defined as “A quality or characteristic inherent in or ascribed to someone or something.”

Thus, the Rays of attribute correspond to the qualities of the sound which comes from the vibrating string.

It could also be said that an aspect corresponds to what we see, and attributes to what we hear or sense.

The first three rays are given as follows by DK:

Ray I   Power Life      Ideas    The Monad.
Ray II Love-Wisdom Consciousness Ideals   The Soul.
Ray III.      Active Intelligence      Appearance     Idols    The Personality.

These three rays have many names and correspondences. Her are just a few: Hindu:

Shiva-Vishnu-Brahma. Christian: Father-Son-Holy Ghost. Hebrew: Kether -Binah-Chochmah. Egyptian: Amun-RA-Horus-Osiris-Isis.

Most of us are familiar with the Christian Trinity, The Father, Son and Holy Ghost.

To say that these three are aspects of God is then to say that these three are three different ways of looking at or understanding the One God.

Question: What are the differences between the three aspects, often called the Father-Son-Holy Ghost?

The White Horse Prophecy

May 15, 2020May 15, 2020 Joseph Dewey

The White Horse Prophecy

In the White horse prophecy Joseph Smith stated he would not live to go to the Rocky Mountains. I have included it at the end of the post. It is quite interesting reading, even though all the prophesies did not literally come to pass.

The Mormon church uses the word “spurious” in connection with it and discourages the members from quoting it.

Whether you have an LDS background or not you should find these predictions quite interesting.

The “WHITE HORSE” Prophecy

This prophecy spoken by Joseph Smith on May 6, 1843 in the presence of Edwin Rushton and Theodore Turley. This was repeated in a meeting about two weeks later, but in both instances was written out from memory afterwards: There has been much criticism of the “White Horse” prophecy. many saying there is no foundation for it. But Brigham Young quotes from it in the Journal of Discourses.

On or about the sixth day of May. 1843, a grand review of the Nauvoo Legion was held in Nauvoo. (Illinois) The Prophet Joseph complimented them for their good discipline and evolutions performed. The weather being hot, he called for a glass of water. With the glass of water in his hand he said, “I drink to you a toast to the overthrow of the mobocrats.” The next morning a man who had heard the Prophet give the toast returned to visit the Mansion of the Prophet. And so abused him with bad language. That the man was ordered out by the Prophet. It was while the two were out that my attention was attracted to them and hearing the man speaking in a loud tone of voice. I went toward them; the man finally leaving. There were present the Prophet Joseph Smith. Theodore Turley and myself. The Prophet began talking to us of the mobbings and drivings and persecutions we as a people have endured. But, said he, “We will have worse things to see; our persecutors will have all the mobbings they want. Don’t wish them any harm. For when you see their sufferings you will shed bitter tears for them.” While this conversation was going on we stood by his south wicket gate in a triangle. Turning to me he said: “I want to tell you something. I will speak a parable like unto John the Revelator. You will go to the Rocky Mountains. And you will be a great and mighty people, established there, which I will call the ‘White Horse of Peace and Safety.’ When the Prophet said you will see it, I asked him, “Where will you be at that time?” He said, “I shall never go there. Your enemies will continue to follow you with persecutions and will make obnoxious laws against you in Congress to destroy the White Horse, but you will have a friend or two ‘to defend you’ to throw out the worst part of the laws, so they will not hurt much. You must continue to petition Congress all the time, they will treat you like strangers and aliens, and they will not give you your rights but will govern you with strangers and commissioners; you will see the Constitution of the United States almost destroyed; it will hang by a thread, as it were, as fine as the finest silk fiber.” At this point the Prophet’s countenance became sad; he said, “I love the constitution. It was made by the inspiration of God. And it will be preserved and saved by the efforts of the White Horse and the Red Horse. Who will combine in its defense. The White Horse will raise an ensign on the tops of the mountains of peace and safety. The White Horse will find the mountains full of minerals and they will become very rich. You will see silver piled up in the streets “You will see gold shoveled up like sand. Gold will be of little value even in a mercantile capacity, for the people of the world will have something else to do in seeking for salvation “ The time will come when the banks in every nation will fail and only two places will be safe where people can deposit their gold and treasures. These places will be the White Horse and England’s vaults.” “A terrible revolution will take place in the land of America, such as has never been seen before; for the land will be literally left without a supreme government. And every species of wickedness will run rampant. Father will be against son, and son against father, mother against daughter, and daughter against mother. The most terrible scenes of murder and bloodshed and rapine that have ever been looked upon will take place. “Peace will be taken from the earth and there will be no peace only in the Rocky Mountains. This will cause many hundreds and thousands of the honest in heart to gather there; not because they would be saints but for safety and because they would not take up the sword against their neighbor.

“You will be so numerous that you will be in danger of famine, but not for the want of seed time and harvest, but because of so many to be fed, Many will come with bundles under their arms to escape the calamities, and there will be no escape except by fleeing to Zion. “Those that come to you will try to keep the laws and be one with you, for they will see your unity and the greatness of your organization. The Turkish Empire or the Crescent will be one of the first powers that will be disrupted, for freedom must be given for the Gospel to he preached in the Holy Land. “The Lord took of the best blood of the nations and planted them on the small islands now called England and Great Britain, and gave them great power in the nations for a thousand years and their power will continue with them, that they may keep the balance of power and keep Russia from usurping her power over all the world. England and France are now bitter enemies, (1843) but they will be allied together and he united to keep Russia from conquering the world. “The two Popes, Greek and Catholic, will come together and be united. The Protestant religions do not know how much they are indebted to Henry the VIII for throwing off the Pope’s Bull and establishing the Protestant faith. He was the only monarch who could do so at the time, and he did it because this nation, England, was at his back to sustain him. One of the peculiar features in England is the established red coat, a uniform making so remarkable a mark to shoot at, and yet they have conquered wherever they have gone. The reason for this will be known by them some day. The Lion and the Unicorn of Israel is their ensign, the wisdom and statesmanship of England comes from having so much of the blood of Israel in the nation. “While the terrible revolution of which I have spoken has been going on. England will be neutral until it becomes so inhuman that she will interfere to stop the shedding of blood. England and France will unite together to make peace. not to subdue the nations; they will find the nations so broken up and so many claiming government, till there will be no responsible government. Then it will appear to the other nations or powers as though England had taken possession of the country. The Black Horse will flee to the invaders and will join with them. for they will have fear of becoming slaves again. knowing England did not believe in slavery, fleeing to them they believe would make them safe; armed with British bayonets. the doings of the “Black” Horse will he terrible.” Here the Prophet said he. could not bear to look longer upon the scene as shown him in vision and asked the Lord to close the scene. Continuing, he said. “During this time the great White Horse will have gathered strength sending out Elders to gather the honest in heart among the Pale Horse, or people of the United States, to stand by the Constitution of the United States. as it was given by inspiration of God. “In these days God will set up a kingdom” In these days God will set up a kingdom. never to he thrown down, for other kingdoms to come unto. And these kingdoms that will not let the Gospel be preached will be humbled until they will. “England, Germany, Norway, Denmark, Sweden, Switzerland, Holland, and Belgium, have a considerable amount of the blood of Israel among their people WHICH must be gathered. Then nations will submit to the kingdom of God. England will be the last of these kingdoms to surrender. but when she does she will do it as a whole in comparison as she threw off the Catholic power. The nobility know that the Gospel is true but it has not enough pomp and grandeur and influence. for them to embrace it. They are proud and will not acknowledge the kingdom of God, or come unto it. until they see the power which it will have. Peace and safety in the Rocky Mountains will be protected by a cordon band of the White Horse and the Red Horse.

“The coming of the Messiah among this people will be so natural, that “only” those who see Him will know that He has come, but He will come and give His laws unto Zion, and minister unto His people. This will not be His coming in the clouds of heaven to take vengeance on the wicked of the world.

“The Temple in Jackson County will be built in this generation. The saints will think there will not be time to build it. but with all the help you will receive you can put up a great temple quickly. They will have all the gold, silver, and precious stones; for these things only will be used for the beautifying of the temple; all the skilled mechanics you want, and the Ten Tribes of Israel will help you build it. When you see this land bound with iron you may look toward Jackson County” At this point he made a pause, and looking up as though the vision was still in view, he said.” There is a land beyond the Rocky Mountains (California) that will be invaded by the heathen Chinese unless great care and protection are given.” Speaking of the heathen nations he said, “Where there is no law there is no condemnation, and this will apply to them. Power will be given the White Horse to rebuke nations afar off, and they will be one with the White Horse, but when the law goes forth they will obey; for the law will go forth from Zion. The last great struggle Zion will have to contend with will be when the whole of the Americas will be made the Zion of our God. Those opposing will be called Gog and Magog some of the nations of the world led by the Russian czar and their power will be great, but all opposition will be overcome and then this land will be the Zion of our God.”

The Chain of Contact

Over the years I have had a number of people ask me about prayer and how our communion with God is supposed to work. I’ve touched on the answer to this in the past, but perhaps a more complete explanation is in order.

Those who are raised in an orthodox religion are taught about a god who sits upon a throne and pays complete attention to each and every one of the billions of people on this planet as well as everything else in the universe. Not only is he aware of you but he follows your every thought and action.

Now there are various doctrines on the Trinity but most think that Jesus shares this same omniscience.

Thus the good believer who prays feels that God is personally taking an interest in him and hears every word he or she speaks.

Let us turn this idea around and place yourself in the position of the all powerful all knowing God. You have all power so you can do anything you want. Do you really think you would want to spend all your time sitting on a throne taking in and evaluating billions of thoughts and prayers each day?

Just imagine what a hassle it would be to keep track of the thoughts and prayers of even a hundred believers, let alone a thousand, a million or over seven billion here on Earth and trillions on other earths and the unseen worlds.

If you have all power and can do anything you want I do not think his would be your idea of a good time. Just a few dozen rambling prayers going through one’s mind would be enough to drive any sane person to madness.

Does it not make sense here to apply the Law of Correspondences which tells us that that which is higher corresponds or has similarities to that which is below and that which is below corresponds to that which is above? The correspondences are never exactly the same, as many teach, but there are always similarities.

What therefore could correspond to a Higher Intelligence we call God governing his kingdom?

A lower correspondence to God and his kingdom would be a CEO over a business kingdom such as Tim Cook who presides over Apple. Tim is responsible for 137,000 employees, but even though he accepts this responsibility he does not personally oversee each one and give them instructions and corrections while individually listening to all their concerns. Instead, he presides over a hierarchy.

If there is some new policy he wants to incorporate he may call a meeting of a handful of leaders and explain it to them. They in turn will spread the ideas to others until all the many thousands receive the transmission and are given the individual attention that is needed to adapt to the new information or policy.

If a regular employee has a concern that he thinks he needs to share with Tim he will find that the best approach is to contact his supervisor instead, as Tim is too busy to individually listen to all employees. If an employee has something that is indeed innovative the suggestion may go up the line of authority until it reaches Tim, but as it turns out most concerns will be centered around his working group which may be a dozen employees or less. Most employee concerns and communications are handled at lower levels of hierarchy and need not call the attention of the higher ones who have their hands full dealing with broader issues.

Now Tim has an awareness, or a finger on the pulse, of the whole company and if he desires he can call upon any individual employee, but overall his attention has to be upon the whole rather than the part. On the other hand, the parts, or the individuals are not ignored, but linked up to Tim by a hierarchy of other workers. No one is left without guidance.

Now the skeptic will say that one cannot compare heavenly things to earthly things or God to humans.

And I say, why not? Of course, there will be differences but there are certain principles that are universal.

Why do you suppose it is written that God has “an innumerable company of angels” (Heb 12:22) and servants at his disposal if He as an individual does all the work? If this one being called God does all things for us then why does he need prophets, messengers and angels?

To the vast multitude of faithful servants on the earth Jesus made this promise:

“Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.” Matt 25:23

If the individual we call God does all the work then what work will there be for the faithful servants. What are the “many things” over which they will preside?

God works with us because he needs us for we live in a universe of duality and separation so the various separate entities have to help each other. We are the arms and legs of God that have to reach out and assist others to the extent that they will say within themselves, “thank God.”

So what happens when we pray? Is anyone listening?

How far up the ladder your prayer goes depends on the intensity and sincerity of the individual.

Jesus tells us that we have “angels” who are assigned to watch over us. (Matt 18:10)

Indeed, there is one individual, usually higher up the ladder of spiritual evolution than yourself, who resides in the spirit world, paradise, or the kingdom of souls. This individual is assigned to watch over you and will assist you in making course corrections to insure that you fulfill your life’s purpose. This individual deals with a number of earth entities so you do not take up all of its labor but it will pay particular attention to you at important crossroads of your life.

This angel, or guide as it is often called, does not focus on answering your prayers though it may assist at certain important occasions.

The average payer of average intensity goes to your subconscious and mental self. This is like a great computer that can send you answers on many things, but it is only as accurate as its programming. It is a little like Google in that it has lots of information available, much of it is useful, but it is not infallible.

If your prayer, meditation or focused thought is intense enough you may pierce the astral static and reach your soul, your Higher Self, your guide or some helpful spirit entity who just happens to be tuning in.

Your normal contact above your subconscious is your own Higher Self or soul. Your soul is happy to see you making an effort to contact Higher Intelligence for a channel must be open by an effort from both sides of the veil. The soul’s effort is described in the first rule of White Magic which reads:

“The Solar Angel collects himself, scatters not his force, but in meditation deep communicates with his reflection.”

You are the reflection of your Higher Self, the soul, and such reflection roughly corresponding to your dream self which is an imperfect reflection of your waking self.

If you want to communicate with your dream self you have to focus a powerful thought and send it to your subconscious which can be picked up by the dream self. Then there are those who are lucid dreamers who are aware they are dreaming and know they are one with the waking self.

Now the correspondence between the higher and lower selfs is not exactly like this, but similar.

Jus as your waking self has a higher awareness than your dream self even so does your soul have a higher awareness than you. Even so, your soul is still you, but just a more complete you with much greater knowledge and abilities.

On the other hand, your soul is a reflection of something still higher which is your originating intelligence, called the Monad in the Ancient Wisdom.

Your soul corresponds to your Mother in Heaven and your monad to your Father God.

Your soul is linked to all other human souls on the planet which are linked to their monads which are linked to the One Great Life we call God.

Therefore, when your prayer ascends to your soul it ascends to God, but in this universe of duality God has become the many and there is indeed an “innumerable company” of assistants who help in the great work of guiding us through this dreary world until we find our way home.

Questions from Mormons

May 13, 2020 Joseph Dewey

Questions from Mormons

Question: Joseph Smith is said to have received revelation on this matter as early as 1830, and it is well documented that he began the practice shortly thereafter, accumulating many plural wives before he died. However — he also kept the matter very “hush-hush” (it wasn’t revealed to the body of the church until 1852). Why? Was it fear of persecution … or something more. Joseph has been quoted as saying that he was deceived (about this revelation), and that he could see that it should be stopped at once — that unless it was, the church would be forced to leave the country (which was pretty much the case by the 1880’s). What is your read on this whole thing?

JJ: It is interesting that many who were called prophets made the claim that God told them to practice plural marriage, from Abraham to David, Solomon and later Mohammed and finally Joseph Smith and Brigham Young.

It is interesting that Djwhal Khul stated that the Master Jesus overshadowed Mohammed, who also practiced plural marriage, and Joseph also claimed to receive revelation from him.

There is a time and place for everything and it is possible that some teachers have been told to take plural wives to prepare bodies for an enlightened seed, yet in each case average people joined in the practice and overall the progeny of polygamists are no more children of light than the so-called non believers.

I sought an answer on this principle and I’ll relate it to you to run by your soul.

Both the beginning and the end of plural marriage in the Mormon Church was not correct. Joseph picked up through revelation the basic principles of the Molecular Relationship. Unfortunately they did not even know what molecules and atoms were in those days and he organized it according to the thoughtform of the time and called it “the New and Everlasting Order of Marriage.” Through the encouragement of Brigham Young and others he incorporated plural relationships into the order, which thing he began to regret near the end of his life, especially the physical side.

Brigham Young, after the death of Joseph, went ahead full steam with the principle, having 27 wives for himself and encouraging it among the brethren.

As you know the U.S. government became morally outraged by the practice and made laws against it and began to jail and persecute the leadership of the church. In 1890 the leadership under Wilford Woodruff gave into the pressure and not only discontinued it but outlawed it among the members.

After this the persecution ceased and the church has had a fairly easy coast in growth since that time.

What was wrong with discontinuing it if it was a mistake to begin with?

Because they did it for the wrong reason. The government attempted to take away their constitutional right to practice their religion and they yielded to it. They had an opportunity to stand it for freedom of thought and religion and that would have helped to establish a greater foothold for freedom than we have today.

It should have been discontinued because of a higher clarifying revelation rather than government pressure.

Yielding a principle they believed in to government pressure caused a loss of light among the leadership and from that point on the church began to lose the little light they had on many principles.

Unfortunately most spiritual organizations go through something like this.

Question: Many have said that the Mormon church is different than the church Joseph established. What are the key differences you see?

There are many but I’ll name three: (1) Loss of revelation. The church today claims to get revelation but hasn’t produced on for 100 years or so. (2) Loss of free agency. Even though free agency is still preached a lot, members are only free to speak “approved” words. If the authorities “frown” on your words or thoughts you will be excommunicated. (3) Loss of spiritual power and experiences. When you compare the spiritual experiences in the early church to those that occur today there is a tremendous difference in quantity and quality. Many of those who do have spiritual experiences are suspected to do so by the power of the devil. I have been accused of this myself.

Question: Do you see the Mormon church changing to become what the Lord’s church needs to be at the time Zion gets established? If not … what organization do you see being the focal point of leading the “saints” back to the New Jerusalem, building a temple there, and establishing (finally) Zion — prior to the grand 2nd coming of the Lord? John Z

JJ: Things may have worked out this way if Joseph would have lived. Even though it is reported he predicted an early death for himself, he was supposed to live. He was given a revelation to go west and escape his impending death, but he did not obey. Therefore his death changed many future events and altered some of the prophesies written in the Mormon scriptures.

The plans for the gathering are quite a bit different now than they were in that age and Jackson county will not be a gathering place in any immediate future. The whole Mormon experiment had many failures and the plans of the Christ were readjusted accordingly.

For some time to come the LDS church will crystallize and become rigid in their approach until they become less enlightened than many protestant churches. The challenge will come from members at the bottom of the totem pole who begin to thirst for higher knowledge and more and more small groups will begin to meet privately and discuss higher principles. How the leadership handles this situation as it amplifies will determine the fate of the church. (Written Nov 2001)

It is most likely that the leadership of the Mormon church will entirely miss out on the building of Zion and the establishment of the new age. They will be too busy protecting the church from heresy.

You ask about the Mormon doctrine of doing baptisms and ordinances on behalf of the dead.

It is possible for the living to help the dead through prayer and symbolic ordinances, especially if the people died in a state of guilt or the harboring of grievances. But it is quite useless to do such work for people who have died thousands, and often hundreds of years ago as they have moved on to higher realms or another earth life.

Joseph summed it up well when he said:

“A man may act as proxy for his own relatives; the ordinances of the Gospel which were laid out before the foundations of the world have thus been fulfilled by them, and we may be baptized for those whom we have much friendship for; but IT MUST FIRST BE REVEALED TO THE MAN OF GOD, LEST WE SHOULD RUN TOO FAR.” History of the Church, Vol.6, Ch.17, p.366

Today the church runs “too far” in attempting to do work for the dead clear back to Adam. Except in rare cases they do not work by revelation about the need of the dead as Joseph mentioned.

Paul was correct in advising us to cease from “endless genealogies.” (I Tim 1:4)

Radiation and Questions

May 12, 2020 Joseph Dewey

Radiation and Questions

Question: “I would like to know how this effect of elevated energy levels (or radioactivity) in our various bodies (physical and otherwise) brings about these two initiations (transfiguration and resurrection)?”

There’s a lot of illusionary writing out there on the web about the increase of radioactivity and vibration preparing us to enter the 4th or 5th dimension. Then others are telling us we are already there but just don’t know it.

Djwhal Khul gives some hints about the effect of nuclear weapons: “Is the etheric web of the planet sufficiently stable and balanced so that it can adequately respond to the new and potent forces which could and will pour through it into objective expression? I would remind you that the release of atomic energy has had a far more potent effect in the etheric web than in the dense physical vehicle of the planet. Three times the atomic bomb was used, and that fact is itself significant. It was used twice in Japan, thereby disrupting the etheric web in what you erroneously call the Far East; it was used once in what is also universally called the Far West, and each time a great area of disruption was formed which will have future potent, and at present unsuspected, results.” Discipleship in the New Age, Vol 2, Page 61

Keep in mind that the etheric web produces the life of the planet as a whole and you and I are merely cells in the greater life. After DK wrote this many additional bombs were tested, much more powerful than the three he mentioned here. These great explosions created for the planet as a whole something similar to what a bee sting would be to an individual. Now some people can handle such a sting and shrug it off whereas others are greatly affected and live in terror of bees for the rest of their lives.

Even so, because most of the people on the earth are reactionary and emotionally grounded, rather than mental, the release of atomic explosion has caused a strong illogical repulsion toward anything nuclear. This has given rise to the emotionally based anti nuclear activists. This has caused a transference of fear of the atomic bomb to a fear of harmless nuclear energy, lumping them together under one roof because of the etheric influence on the emotional body.

The disturbance of the etheric web has had an opposite effect on the mental plane, however. On this plane there is no fear created, but instead has a stimulating influence on rational and creative thought.

Just as the atom was split in two, even so has the emotional plane and the mental been split into two camps. The majority of the earth are making decisions and conclusions based on raw emotion, whereas the other, a minority uses the mind.

It seems today to the thinking group that sometimes the effort to use the mind is futile, but the thinkers need to take heart as the power of the mind is to prevail over the lower emotions as we enter the age of Aquarius, an air sign. The next 150 years will make a huge difference if things go according to plan.

As far as the influence of atomic radiation on the initiations of transfiguration and resurrection goes it is not as direct type of influence. The whole thinking process of advanced humanity has been stimulated and this will push more people toward initiation. Even so, the radiation essential for these initiations comes from within and not from outside atomic radiation.

I understand a readers comments on words like “repent,” and “sin,” which are often associated with the likes of some half crazed fundamentalist preacher that we all want to run from.

But in the days of Jesus they were “cool” cutting edge words like “synergistic” and “paradigm shift” is today. This is because the meaning has been altered (or should I say obscured) today.

To sin means to “miss the mark” or to error and to “repent” meant to correct such an error in judgment.

A reader comments that her old black and white beliefs are being challenged here but does not want to replace them with new illusions.

I think most of us have gone through the pat answer syndrome at one time or another. The pat answer routine requires only acceptance and no thought about what is accepted. It was only through great struggle that I was able to free myself from this. It is especially difficult for Mormons because of the teachings of the unpardonable sin creates a great fear that must be neutralized. Of course the regular Christian belief of burning in hell for eternity is no small potatoes either – it’s just a little easier to shrug off because it is completely illogical.

Some Mormons I have taught have responded something like this.

“You may be right in all you say, but if there is even one chance in a million you are wrong then there would be a chance I could reign with the devil and his angels for eternity in outer darkness as a son of perdition. I’ll play it safe and follow the regular teachings.”

How did I overcome this dreaded thoughtform?

Answer: Faith.

What kind of faith?

Faith in the love of God.

If God is truly Love then He/She/It will work with me, even if I am in error, as long as I am willing to follow the highest I know. If God is not willing to go this far with His children then we wouldn’t even want to return to Him would we? Who wants to live for eternity with any Being who is willing to condemn anyone to eternal pain for merely following what is seen as a harmless path that is seen as the best of all possible worlds?

Who wants to live with a God who would send Gandhi to hell for choosing the wrong version of theology?

The truth is that God is good and the eternal path of light is the path of dominating good.

Question: How can the sufferings and atonement be as orthodox teachings represent when many may suffer even as Christ???

The answer is simple: Just as we are capable of sharing the Sonship of God with Jesus even so are we are also capable of enduring the same sufferings he had – meaning that the infinite sufferings and atonement has a different meaning than most assume.

Nov 19, 2001
