The Need for Hierarchy

A reader disapproved of some comments I made  concerning the universal need for hierarchies within the universe of time and space, especially in relation to the atomic world.

There is an ancient occult statement, however, that says “The mind slays the real.” I maintain that to find the real truth about the microcosm we have to use the law of correspondences and stretch beyond scientific discoveries. Notice that I do not say we leave them behind. A scientific truth is as true as any truth, and truth will harmonize with truth. If I am understood correctly I do not believe that readers will see any of my teachings contradicting scientific fact.

We must keep in mind that hierarchy among the atoms is of a much higher evolutionary order than among humans. They are much more evolved in their sphere than we are in ours. A proton or atom can live for billions of years. Who among us is capable of that? They have achieved an equality, a unity and organization much greater than we have even imagined for ourselves.

The word “rank” is not an appropriate word for the hierarchies of the microcosm, nor will it be appropriate for the hierarchies of light which are to come. A servant is usually not considered higher in rank than the one he serves. A beneficial hierarchy is created by energy trying to balance itself whether in humans or in atoms. One unit of energy seeks energy from a more endowed source for a period of time until equality is achieved. If there are two atoms, even of the same element one will have a greater energy than the other. Even among two hydrogen atoms forming the building block of the universe through hydrogen bonds, one will have a greater charge. The one with the sending energy is the teaching atom (for want of a better word).

It is a scientific fact that atoms unite to create molecules, molecules unite to create cells, cells unite to create greater bodies. It is also fact that the atomic world has created structures and creations many times beyond the accomplishments of humanity. You wouldn’t say that a computer is built by a random exchange of energy, yet you indicate that the atoms have built their creations with no guiding hierarchical intelligence. Just certain “patterns” develop by energy transfers.

I will say this about atoms and hierarchies. There is life, consciousness and intelligence in the atomic world. The creative process that took place between the evolution of the atom and the cell is far beyond anything in intelligence and cooperation that the human atoms (Adams) have accomplished. Through science we can study some of the effects and orders created by that intelligence, but I doubt if any scientist in the world knows anything about that intelligence itself. The trouble is that they study the atomic world under the assumption that everything is taking place because of an interplay of mindless energy rather than intelligence. Because they are not looking for intelligence within the microcosm they see none.

Some on the spiritual path will see the great order among the tiny lives and give credit to the great Universal God, but they see it backwards. It is not the big One Life creating the order as a unit. It one life with many parts finding pieces of Itself, putting Itself back together. This process is in its infancy among us humans. As our first step we seek for mates of our opposite polarity or sex. Then we seek to establish groups for certain purposes. The intelligence of the atoms reveals a great secret.

Some have said that there are no hierarchies among the atoms. I have presented much greater proof that there is than anyone else has presented otherwise.

The basic evidence against: Science does not teach such a thing.

The basic evidence for: Science has not disproved my teachings and observation supports it.

But my main point of evidence is this: All known and understood structures of a complex order are created through a hierarchical endeavor. I have challenged all out there to show me even one exception and none has come forth. How can a logical person call me wrong on this point when everything we have seen verifies hierarchy without even one exception?

Even elementary metaphysical students believe the maxim “as above, so below.” For instance in the larger world we have planets circling around a sun and in the tiny world we have electrons circling around a nucleus.

In the larger world all known organized creations such as a building, a car or a bridge is created by hierarchies with intelligent direction. Since this is true among what we see with our eyes what reason do we have to believe that it is much different with the tiny intelligences which are also a part of God?

Some have said that in the New Age we will have no hierarchies. Instead, everyone will know what to do because of some direct communication with God. Most people I know of that believe this way have not been able to get along in this type of harmony with even one other human being on this planet let along thousands or millions of them.

Do such persons think that in the new age that each city and state will just run by itself? That there will be no equivalent to a mayor or council? That roads will be built just because several thousand people wake up one morning and all say to themselves in unison: “I don’t think I’ll go fishing today. I think I’ll go build a road.”

Another person wakes up another morning and says: “I’m going to this vacant building on State Street and start a newspaper.” Then the fellow goes there and meets a hundred others that were given the same idea by God. Then they all roll up their sleeves and go to work. Of course, they have no problem on controversial issues. They do not need an editor or publisher to guide anyone because they are all conservative or liberal or whatever sameness that we are supposed to be there.

This is, of course, nonsense to anyone who will think about it for over three seconds. No orderly structure has ever been made by a group effort without a hierarchy and none ever will in our foreseeable future. When the time comes that we will not need hierarchies we will not need form.

Think about it. The more complex the project the greater need for hierarchy. It took thousands of hierarchical units to send a man to the moon, but it may just take several to run a small business.

I will guarantee you this. When we send a spaceship to Mars and later to Jupiter there will be a hierarchy of leaders, teachers and governors that will create the organization necessary to do it.

Does anyone out there really believe we will go to Mars because about 50,000 people will feel good about accomplishing it at the time? Even if such a miracle happened do you really think that everyone would “just know” their place and job without leadership? I think you would find that the nitty-gritty boring work would be avoided by at least 49,000 who would be lining up to do the fun part of the work.

It is amazing to me that anyone would question the need for hierarchy, leaders and teachers. There is not even the slightest evidence that civilization of any degree is possible without them.

I can understand that we free thinkers do not like to be bossed around and many of us have a reluctance to obey any rules of any kind. We also like to think we can just dip within and learn everything we need to know. Then we all like to think that we are just as smart or as good as the next guy. This is all well and good, but if our desire to be an island of independence separates us from reality then our progression will come to a standstill.

I think that those who resist the idea of hierarchy are really not against hierarchy so much, as they do not like overreaching authority over their lives. I join with them in this idea as there are positive and negative hierarchies. A positive one functions to get the job done, but a negative one serves the desire of the ego and those involved seek for personal power and glory.

We are all anxious to reach union, but we must stay in touch with the real world along the way. There is nothing more pathetic than he who is in hell, but thinks he is in heaven. He neither learns through his pain nor seeks a greater joy. He who has found his true point on the path senses a greater happiness on the horizon.

A Reincarnation of Jesus?

Thought I would make a few comments on Dr. Dahesh (whose real name was Salim Moussa El-Achi) who is claimed to be the 20th incarnation of the Christ and has been discussed here for a while.

A seeker’s first thought may be to consider him a charlatan. But then when you read the list of miracles he is purported to have performed one has to immediately take him more seriously than the majority of others out there who are claiming to be Christ. Most such claimants have little, but a big ego to back up their words.

His followers claim he is like Christ because of his miracles, but they neglect to examine the areas where he is not like the Master.

Here are some:

[1] Initiation. Christ initiated a movement and teaching that attracted billions of followers. Dahesh has only 40,000 worldwide.

Of course, it is remotely possible that he could accumulate a large following over a period of time.

[2] It looks like the main thing he has going for him is his attested miracles. As far as I can tell there are no groundbreaking teachings or works like those presented by Jesus which are necessary to create great change or attract a large following.

[3] Jesus taught his disciples how to make a spiritual connection so they could perform the same miracles that he did. There seems to be no record of followers performing miracles like Dahesh did.

[4] Dahesh was apparently quite wealthy and gathered millions of dollar’s worth of art and additional millions of dollar’s worth of books to the 250,000 volumes in his private library.

I think art is an important part of society, but it seems odd that a Christ figure would spend so much money collecting it.

[5] He is called a Doctor even though he has only about a year for formal education. I cannot find an explanation for this.

[6] The followers of Christ were aggressive in taking the Masters message to the world and presenting teachings without cost. Even though Dahesh wrote 150 books I can’t find one for sale at Amazon and I can’t find a way to order any of his books that are published. You’d think they’d publish a couple of his books on the web and make them available for download.

[7] Suppose you do think he was an incarnation of Christ, what then? There is no plan of action outside of suggesting we accept him as a Christ figure. Seems kind of an odd legacy for a master.

[8] He died at the age of 75 of a heart attack. You’d think a Christ figure would live to be at least 100 before he would die of natural causes.

Conclusion:

It is possible he was closely linked to a Master for he did seem to be a benevolent person as a whole and did seem to perform some miracles. It is even possible he was an incarnation of a master, but he has not had the impact on the world that one would expect from the coming of Christ.

It is predicted a religion will be formed around him. We’ll see what happens then.

In response to the above I received some comment from a Dahesh follower. We’ll just call him DF

DF: “When we trust only ‘reason,’ our brains can fail us, as yours did you.”

JJ: No one is talking about trusting “only reason,” but since all truth from God is reasonable then to abnegate reason is foolish indeed.

DF: “For example, here is where your arguments fall apart…completely. I’m being more than kind to you.”

JJ: And where is this kindness representative of a follower of Christ? I see no evidence of it here.

1. “Actually, the number of followers is more like 4,000 than 40,000. At His death, Jesus had maybe 120 followers. By 100 A.D., most historians and scholars estimate that Jesus had somewhere between 5000 and 10,000. Your argument fails, because, to compare Jesus to Dahesh, one must wait for 2,000 years to see how many followers Dahesh has, otherwise, it is not a honest comparison.”

JJ: I left open the possibility that he could accumulate a large following over a period of time.

In a single day, the day of Pentecost, the Church added 3000 to their group and you’re telling me that in another 70 years they may have added only 2000 more? I don’t think so. The apostles went to many lands and converted many thousands shortly thereafter.

In addition to this Dr.Dahesh gathered disciples from the age of 20 to 75, a period of 55 years compared to three years for Jesus. If Jesus had 55 years to teach in Jerusalem he would have had many more than 120 devout followers at his crucifixion. In fact he had thousands of casual followers beforehand, but all but a few were dispirited by his apparent death.

It has been about 90 years since Dahesh began teaching. With the advantages of modern communications, you would think a Christ figure would have made in this day as much progress as did the Christians within the same period with none of our technology.

Concerning point two about the miracles he writes: “Groundbreaking teachers? I have NO idea what you mean by this argument. It is completely nonsensical.”

JJ: I said “teachings” not teachers. Buddha gave the groundbreaking teaching of the Middle Way, Jesus gave groundbreaking teachings on love and kindness. Both of these relied on the students seeing the principle behind the teaching. Where is the groundbreaking teaching from Dahesh, which always comes from a Christ figure? He does give us some interesting data about life in the galaxy but where does he expand on a principle that can be grasped by the human heart?

Concerning point three he insists that Dahesh followers have performed lots of miracles.

I can’t find any testimony of this on any of the websites. Jesus told his disciples that they would do even “greater things” than he did and indeed they performed many mighty miracles and works that attracted even more attention than their Master. Where are the followers who have power equal to Dahesh?

If all it takes is to follow the ceremony of Ramz then the followers should be able to create miracles as impressive as Dahesh, such as physically producing tomorrow’s newspaper. Anyone done anything like that?

Are the details of performing the Ramz available to the public or is it passed down in person? I would like more information on it if it is available.

On point four he insists that it is perfectly reasonable to assume that a reincarnated Jesus would collect expensive art.

But he didn’t answer my question. Jesus told people who were rich in possessions, such as art, to sell them and give the money to the poor. I realize we live in different times and a different approach may be needed, but he did say our heart is where our treasure is and fine art is a fairly worldly treasure compared with other things that could be pursued – such as helping the downtrodden, or even paying scholars to translate and publish his books.

Concerning point five where I expressed  skepticism over Danesh calling  himself a doctor he says: “He was granted an honorary doctorate by the Sage Institute of Paris (now defunct) in 1930.”

Thanks for the explanation. I see from the web his doctorate was given in psychism. I suspect that such a doctorate was something like these mail order degrees we see so much of. Jesus was only called Rabbi once in the scriptures and there is no evidence he requested to be called such. He discouraged the use of titles.

Concerning point six where I question why none of his 150 books are available to purchase on Amazon he says: “The fact that Dahesh has no books on Amazon mean He can’t be Jesus reincarnated? What sort of ABSURD argument is this?”

It is not absurd at all. Three years after Jesus began his ministry in Jerusalem he sent his followers into all the world. Now, 90 years after Dahesh began his, he doesn’t even have a book on Amazon. Doesn’t seem to be following the Jesus pattern of promotion.

Point Seven: Suppose you do think he was an incarnation of Christ, what then? There is no plan of action outside of suggesting we accept him as a Christ figure. Seems kind of an odd legacy for a master.

DF: “If we think He is the incarnation of Christ what then? Declare oneself a Daheshist and begin to spread His message, via the Internet at first. That is what. Learn the Ramz ritual, to help others heal.”

JJ: But how can one become a Daheshist if he can’t even read the required book that he is to promise to live by to become a member? Like I said there seems to be no plan of action and the plan of salvation is merely a repetition of that which was already taught by Jesus.

And is the Ramz ritual available to learn?

Point Eight: He died at the age of 75 of a heart attack. You’d think a Christ figure would live to be at least 100 before he would die of natural causes.

DH: “Jesus would have lived to 100 had He re-incarnated? Where did you get that? All physical bodies die.”

JJ: When Jesus approached death he said “Father, receive my spirit” and gave up the ghost. You would think that Dahiesh correspondingly would have just voluntarily left his body rather than to be forcibly taken with a heart attack.

It also does not make sense that he would die after an only average lifespan when much less enlightened souls have lived much longer though their own wisdom. Imagine, if he could create the miracle of living to 150 years or more. Then people would really pay attention.

I have a couple questions for you.

Why do you believe that Dahesh is the coming of Christ? Is it reason alone or something else? If it is reason then what is the reason?

I read in Dahesh literature that he never made the proclamation of the prophesied false messiah of saying “I am Christ.” What then makes followers think he is Christ?

It is said that Dahesh is the 20th incarnation of Jesus. How many of the other 19 besides Dahesh are given? It is said he was Buddha, but Buddha lived before Christ and Jesus was supposed to be reborn 23 additional times after the first century.

The next response I received was as follows:

  “Asshole,

  “Your ‘brains’ (had you any in the first place fool) fell out LONG time ago!

  “You’re an idiot beyond comprehension, your reasons were that of a retard. Oops, I’ve just insulted the retards!”

Wow. You’d think I had just arrived from the gates of hell foaming at the mouth with insults to deserve a response like this. I’ll tell you this. If I were Christ and had this guy representing me, I’d be embarrassed and wouldn’t want to settle in the Kingdom of God with his kind.

If he treats a sincere seeker in this manner what would be his response to someone making a mean-spirited attack?

He’d probably go into apoplectic shock.

Tribes, Atoms and Decision

A reader made some comments indicating that the Native Americans lived in a virtual utopia with no leadership being necessary. This was my response.

Where do you get the idea that they did not have leaders? There were a handful of wandering nomads that were fairly leaderless, but that was because there was virtually no one to lead. Theses nomads also accomplished little of value except wandering the countryside and eking out survival.

Some tribes had a fairly loose hierarchy and some had a very structured one. Some leaders were very dictatorial and others were democratic. In fact, it is said that the founders of our nation were inspired by some of the Indian hierarchical structures. Many Indian tribes had a very hierarchical priesthood also, others were less hierarchical like the Shamans, but they were still looked upon as teachers and leaders in spiritual affairs.

The Natives are a great example of hierarchy producing order. The nomads had minimal hierarchy and the only thing they accomplished was survival. The Incas and Mayas had strong hierarchy and built a significant civilization.

You mention “the chiefs counseled with the people and followed their will.” That is very close to the principle governing the hierarchy of light. Even including the American Indians, we do not have an example in recorded history of the government of the hierarchy of light which is to come. There have been a number of brave souls who have sought to manifest it, but all have failed. In another way of looking at it there is no real failure because the seeds of the brotherhood of light have been planted in many individuals who roam this earth and the day will come when they will be gathered again.

The utopia you speak of describes mankind in a state corresponding to sleep. When your body is asleep there are no decisions that need to be made for it. This utopia or state of sleep that you describe can only occur when humanity has satisfied its desires. As long as we as a people have group desires that need fulfilled then there will be hierarchy and leaders to stimulate progression. Your utopian sleep is millions of years in the future and is not practical for the next step for humanity. There are not two people in a million capable of such unity. Perhaps when you get married you will understand the difficulty.

I don’t expect you to believe anything I say just because I say it. Your soul has the ability to verify all truth. That which I cannot prove to you with black and white facts can be verified by your soul, but you have to bypass all the programming of your body, mind and emotions to reach the Presence.

You say that I am too much in the male energy. That is all right because I am a male and am supposed to be more male than female. You, on the other hand, also have a lot of male energy and this may make you seem out of balance for a female. Balance is necessary for soul contact. The male energy is sending and the female is receiving. I would suggest that you try an experiment and receive from me just to see how it feels.

Permanent Atoms

The dominate atom is the initiating atom of an atomic structure. It is the first one that started a particular atomic organization.

Humans are correspondences of atoms. It is not a coincidence that the first man was called Adam (Atom). Buddha was the initiating Adam of Buddhism. Jesus of Christianity and so on. However atoms of the atomic world are much more advanced in their sphere than we are in ours and hold the key for the next great evolutionary step for mankind.

There is a “permanent Atom” in your physical body that survives death. You will take it with you into your next life and in it is the coding of every physical body you have ever had. Your soul reprograms it to create your next body which will hopefully be superior to the last one. You keep this permanent atom with you until you overcome death. Your whole body is a hierarchy of atoms and molecules with the permanent atom at its head recreating the great power of organization necessary to create your physical structure. This feat is greater than we can imagine.

On balance: The whole universe is created by being out of balance. All energy is out of balance and seeking balance. When perfect balance is obtained the form disappears and goes back to its source. The fact that we are even here is evidence that we are out of balance to some degree. We reach new degrees of balance until we go back to our pure essence.

The Masters are able to walk through walls because they have learned the principle of balance.

 

The Power of the Gods

“For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good from evil.” (Genesis 3:5)

Decision is the power of the Gods, but if this is hidden from us and we don’t think we have permission to decide then the power that is in us is hidden by illusion. If our power is hidden then the antichrist powers [of outer unjust authority] make all important decisions for us.

Readers may find it of interest that the Judges in the Old Testament were called Gods by Moses. Moses was also called a God. In most cases this is mistranslated in today’s Bibles, but it is in black-and-white in the Hebrew. Those who made decisions and assumed power to do so had the power of the Gods, so they were called Gods.

Decision is the key to the door that opens to all worlds, even immortality.

Contemplate the part of you that actually decides and you can feel that link between you and God. It uses your bodies but it is not your bodies.

If our consciousness is polarized in the lower worlds many decisions will bring some pain, but in the end that is not bad. We came here for the experience and we can only go through the experience through the power of decision. Those who can’t decide remain still. The best decision is that which pushes us forward somewhere where we are forced to look at a different horizon.

The phrase “I AM THAT I AM” originally comes from the Bible. After wandering in the desert herding sheep for forty years Moses did a lot of contemplating about God and what he would ask him if he should ever get a chance to talk to Him. When he finally got his big chance — what did he ask?

He asked God for His name.

Why?

Because in those days the name revealed something about the destiny or the character of a man or woman. It still does today but on a more subconscious level.

To this great question that Moses spent decades contemplating, the answer was “I AM that I AM.”

Or was it?

Think about it. This statement makes no sense at all and all the scholars in the world have not shed any light on it — Neither has any channeling or New Age Book even though many use the phrase on a regular basis.

The reason it does not make sense as quoted is because it was a mistranslation.

What God really said to Moses was:

  “I AM BECOMING that which I DECIDE TO BECOME. Go tell Israel that HE WHO IS BECOMING has sent you.”

For us to cross the threshold to the kingdom of God we must become whatever it is that we decide to become. Fortunately, in the end of time we all make the right decision.

A teacher once wrote: “Without decision there is no life.” What does this mean and what is the greatest hurtle we have to cross to fully use the power of decision?

I care not what others think of what I do, but I care very much about what I think of what I do. That is character! —Theodore Roosevelt

Truth and Conspiracy

Some readers have accused me of teaching from the ego

The problem here is that one who teaches through the reasoning of the mind is often perceived as an illusionary threat by one who has his decisions based in the emotions only. The mind will often destroy emotional conclusions and such a thought form created by the emotions will fight to maintain its life. When the thought form approaches the light that will destroy it, it either seeks to destroy the light or it flees from it.

On the other hand, the mind is also unnerved when confronted with Spirit. Mind is not the ultimate source of truth and eventually must reach numerous dead ends that can only be crossed by revelation from Spirit or the Higher Self. These revelations will make sense to mind and feel right to emotion, but mind would not have concluded them by itself and emotion would not have felt it. Mind will also fight the higher light until it is forced by circumstances to confront it. At that time many illusionary thought forms are painfully shattered.

In various New Age forums I have noticed this attitude: “Nobody better try and influence me to change so you had better change and conform so I do not feel this influence from you.”

Isn’t it obvious that this attitude is a reflection of an inner flaw?

It may be true that the Piscean Age religions did put unjust influences on people to conform and there seems to be some left-over fears from this. But consider this. We now live in an age and area of the planet where no one has unjust power over our thoughts and beliefs. No one has power to take our lives if we do not cry “Caesar!” or “Holy Mary!” Any fear or even irritation we have of any one trying to change us is not based on reality but is usually based on an inner insecurity with our own beliefs and foundations.

There should be complete tolerance especially in an unthreatening environment such as these on line services. We are completely free to ignore any statement that we disagree with or even dislike.

Even so I am completely supportive for expressing whatever feelings we have no matter how negative. The only way to deal with them at times is to get them out on the table. But when they are on the table one must not run but face up to whatever results they lead towards.

I’ve had a number of people indicate to me that truth is relative and quote “A Course in Miracles” (ACIM) to substantiate that. In my view this shows a great misunderstanding of the Course. I know that the relative truth thing is a standard buzz word for New Age thought, but ACIM just doesn’t seem to support this idea.

Even in the introduction on the very first page we read:

  “This is a course in miracles. It is a required course. Only the time you take it is voluntary.”

It is not a relative thing that we take the course. It is required.

Why is it required?

The answer is that it contains several absolute truths that we must learn before we can obtain liberation.

ACIM states point blank that there are several laws that create chaos, illusion and separation. The first is:

“The truth is different for everyone.” T-23.II.2

It amazes me that many people who claim to believe ACIM also believe in relative truth. The whole purpose of the Course is to lead us to several important absolute truths.

The second law of chaos is that “Each one must sin and therefore deserves attack and death. This principle is closely related to the first,” T-23.II.4 (the truth is different).

The Course also states that:

“The truth is true, and nothing else is true.” W-pI.152.3

Those who want to continue in the illusion have great resistance to this core teaching, but eventually illusion must give way to reality and all souls will be one in the truth.

More Conspiracy Theory

Let’s look at an overview of that which conspiracy theorists believe about 911.

First, they believe that Bush was either behind the planning or a major player.

On the other hand, most of these same individuals believe he is the dumbest president in our history.

You can’t have it both ways. If Bush had anything to do with pulling this off then he was an evil genius beyond anything that Hitler pulled off. Yet even his most adamant supporters do not see him as a genius and his enemies would never admit this, even if he were the grandmaster of 911.

If Bush was a player then so was Cheney and other high ups in the administration, yet no one is talking and there’s no smoking gun leading back to them.

So here’s the situation they present. Bush, the dumbest president in history, was a major player in a conspiracy that involved the cooperation of thousands of participants and pulled off the most infamous disaster in history and never got caught. Thousands of people are pointing fingers at him trying to nail him but he is outsmarting them all, great genius that he is.

Here’s the story in a nutshell. Bush and Cheney in cooperation with invisible power brokers and the military arranged the hijacking of four planes. They were flights 93, 77, 175 and 11. Somehow after they took off, they were mysteriously snatched out of the skies and taken to an undisclosed location. At this location the passengers were killed and disposed. The planes were also destroyed, obviously completely pulverized that very day to prevent any recognizable piece from being later used as evidence to the crime.

This was an ingenious accomplishment on the part of Bush and other conspirators when you take into account the whistle blowers at minor atrocities such as Abu Ghraib. 911 was much bigger than making men perform tricks while naked.

Just imagine being in the military and designated as one of those disposing of the passengers. Four planes land and all the hundreds of passengers and unloaded are lined up to be shot. You and dozens of others are to kill them and dispose of the bodies. Isn’t it amazing that not one of them has anonymously spoken to the press?

After the planes were snatched out of the air an amazing thing occurred. They were replaced by missiles or special pods created by the government. These missiles were painted and fixed up to look like planes but were not planes. These missiles had no passengers on board but were specially designed to accomplish the evil deed.

They had to make it appear that the passengers were still on board to the end so they faked phone calls made from passengers to loved ones on the ground. All the dozens loved ones involved were fooled into thinking they were talking to the real person because the government somehow knew in advance who was going to be on each plane and duplicated the correct voices in advance. Then using voice technology conspirators called the loved ones and fooled them into thinking they were talking to their son, husband, wife, etc. Conspiracy people do not even ask how a bungling bureaucracy can even manage to successfully retrieve the phone numbers of the correct loved ones to call let alone make them think a computer voice is a family member.

I don’t know about you, but if a computer called me pretending to be my wife I think I could tell if I were talking to the real thing.

The missiles then went about to accomplish their evil mission. The first was substituted for Flight 93 and crashed in a field in Pennsylvania.

What was that about? I know if I were a conspirator the last thing I would do is to go through all that trouble just to crash a missile in a field. Strange.

The second, the substitute for Flight 77, crashed into the Pentagon. What was that about? The military attacking itself? Oh, yeah. That was just to remove suspicion. That really worked didn’t it? Even though dozens of people saw a plane, some even close enough to see the passengers, they were fooled. It was really a missile.

The other two missiles, which replaced Flights 175 and 11, plowed into the two Twin Towers buildings. Even though millions of people saw the video of this, what they saw were not planes, but missiles or specially built pods that landed in just the right places to not interfere with the planned explosive demolition.

Explosive demolition?

Yes, and this is the amazing part. The conspiracy people believe that the Twin Towers and WTC 7 were brought down by a controlled demolition by the use of planted explosives. Even though the largest demolition by explosives in history has been just over 20 stories the conspirators decided to go for the Guinness Book of World Records. They increased that record not twice, or four times, but over five times and did it simultaneously with not one building but two along with a smaller recording-breaking building on the side.

When you compare the possibility of this scenario with the possibility of some anomalies occurring there is no comparison.

The situation is like that of the engineer who mathematically proved that the bumble bee cannot fly. But who are you going to believe when you see the bumble bee actually flies? Obviously, something was wrong in the engineer’s calculations.

When you look at what had to have been done to pull of the 9/11 conspiracy as presented the comparison is like actually watching a bumble bee fly verses the engineer who says he cannot fly.

In the end reality wins out and when all the facts are revealed everything makes sense.

Sometimes a big event is basically more what it appears to be rather than what conspiracy theory say it is.

That is not to say that there are no true conspiracies. For instance, I believe there was one around the murder of JFK because the evidence does support it in my view. Then there may be details around the 9/11 disaster that are hidden, but it is obvious to me that the standard conspiracy idea about it is not logical.

Who Am I?

I have made several statements about ourselves and our origin.

First. We are not our physical, emotional, or mental selves. These are instead called our three vehicles. Our true self uses these vehicles to explore the three lower worlds. Just as you put on a diving suit to explore underwater, so must you acquire the right “equipment” to explore the lower worlds.

In a way we are like the diver who is under the sea with limited oxygen and gets hit on the head and winds up with amnesia. When he sees his reflection, he assumes that the diving suit is himself and that is what he looks like. He must soon rouse himself and remember who he is or he will think the sea is his home and die for lack of oxygen. That would be a pity, for if he knew who and where he was he would know that he needs air and where to get it. But if he remains in deception then death is certain.

Second, I have stated that we as entities are eternal, yet all that has vibration has a beginning and an end. All matter, all form, all energy has vibration which will someday end. Just as when you pluck a guitar string it will not vibrate forever, so does the vibration off all things in the universe eventually run down.

On the other hand, the eternal part of us has no vibration. Everyone thinks that to travel to the various worlds we need to speed up our vibration, but could the opposite be true? Could it be that we need to still vibration instead? The truth is a great secret.

You may ask: “If that eternal part of us has no vibration, no form and no energy then it appears that it would not even exist. How do you explain that?”

The answer is another great mystery, but even mysteries are simple when they are understood.

You as an individual entity consists of a musical chord of four notes at any given point in time and space. Your physical body vibrates on a certain note as well as does your emotions and your mind. Then your soul vibrates on a fourth note. You also play your notes in a certain key. Altogether you incarnate through a very large number of lives and in each life certain notes will change. As your higher self “listens” to the music you play he/she/it will enjoy a piece of music more beautiful than anything we can comprehend here, but the music of your whole self can only be heard from the “Eternal Now,” because in our time frame it takes millions of years to play the piece.

In my journey through time I am playing one symphony for the ears of the One Great Life and in your journey you are playing another and altogether there are endless pieces of music being played for the enjoyment of our Creator. This is the true meaning of the term “Music of the Spheres.”

The playing of a melody is created by vibration, but the actual melody and notes themselves exist independent of vibration and are without beginning and without end.

Let us take a familiar tune by the Beatles — “Yesterday.” We think that it had a beginning when Lennon and McCartney wrote it. But in reality that is not so. Every note that we use to play it on the piano has existed from eternity as well as did the combination of notes that make the melody of “Yesterday” has always been in the mind of God. Vibration of the notes makes us aware of the tune, but the music still exists even when it is not being played. Even at this moment, when no one is playing it, when there is no vibration, the song lives within you and it can be recreated at any living moment.

The melody which is distinctly you has existed in the mind of God from eternity. But when you were given vibration, you received a form manifestation that makes you and others self-aware.

Once the children of God become aware of their melodies the melody is realized to be eternal. Just as no one can destroy the song “Yesterday,” no one can destroy you. Even if this planet were blown up and every piece of music destroyed with it, the song still exists; and somewhere, some time, someplace, a musician will recreate the tune and it will be played again.

You will be played again and again in newer and better versions, worlds without end. You will play until you and your Creator are satisfied. Then you will rest. After that you will play again.

In response to the above a reader asks this:

“Four notes? I thought there were seven notes in all.”

The four notes are predicated on the worlds of form. Three correspond to the physical, astral and mental. The fourth is a synthesis of the three corresponding to the whole personality.

Comments

Attention is an attribute that belongs to the real you. Attention uses your vehicles and is not created by them. Attention is enhanced by the vehicles, however.

A reader uses the word “humble.” That is a word very few use in the New Age community yet it is an attribute one must have to unlock the doors of greater knowledge.

Many who believe themselves to be great and wise are stopped in their tracks when they lose humility. This is what is meant by “the first shall be last and the last first.”

Those who are the most intelligent are “the first.” But then when they believe no one can teach them they stop learning and after a period of time sink to great ignorance and become “the last.” Many who are the least in intelligence seek in humility to learn wherever there is knowledge and advance from “the last” to “the first.”

Then there is the rare person in the third category. He or she stays humble in the midst of glory and ends the cycle of first and last and finds the way home.

God help those who do not help themselves. —Wilson Mizner

Seeing What Is Not There

One day a large meteor fell from the sky and hit the city of Casper Wyoming with great force.

It was completely destroyed.

Never in recorded history had such an event of destruction been witnessed by the civilized world.

There was virtually no warning for the meteor seemed to come out of nowhere. A few astronomers recorded it a few hours before the event and some tried to get a warning through to the government, but because of bureaucratic buffoonery none of the residents of Casper had any warning at all.

The media covered the event 24/7 for the next couple weeks. Finally, after the shock died down and the nation put itself back together people went back to their normal lives.

The one thing different though was the formation of an international commission organized by the nations of the world to come up with reasons why, with our technology, we were caught off guard and recommendations for an organization to prevent such an accident in the future.

The commission found three amateur astronomers who claimed to have seen the meteor up to three weeks before it hit but there was amazing little warning of such a major disaster.

This smelled bad to a number of people of varied background as they began to wonder if there was some type of cover-up. Another thing that bothered them was that the whole destroyed city of Casper had a military border around it and no one seemed to be able to get through.

After a few weeks a number of conspiracy theories began to surface. The most popular ran like this:

There was no meteor. There was no real proof that one even existed. Instead, our own government destroyed Casper with an atomic bomb sent by a missile. There are witnesses and some bad film of something coming out of the skies but a careful screening of the witnesses and film seem to reveal that it was a rocket and not a meteor at all.

Some asked why in the world would the government want to destroy Casper.

The reply was that there were two reasons. First on the date it hit there was a large conference of environmentalists who were creating a problem for many in the government. All of these were conveniently eliminated.

Secondly, the nations of the world poured many billions of dollars into a project to scan the skies and destroy any meteor like this before it hits us again. It was believed that those who benefited from this money were in on the conspiracy to destroy Casper. The President’s second cousin was the president of an optics company who received major anti-meteor funding. This looked very suspicious to them. In addition, a number of high government officials had stock in companies that would benefit.

Finally, a conspiracy theorist sneaked through the barrier with a Geiger counter and investigated the wasteland. His suspicions were confirmed when he registered a high degree of radioactivity.

The military found him and locked him in a decontamination chamber. After several days of being checked out by doctors they let him go.

He went right to the media and told all who would listen his story. He had proof an atomic bomb, not a meteor destroyed Casper and the military obviously knew about the radiation because they put him through a decontamination process. He said there needs to be a major investigation and the President and his ilk must be prosecuted and removed.

Polls began to show that about a third of the population believed some type of conspiracy was taking place and faith in the president and military sank to an all-time low.

What was the real truth?

The truth was a meteor did destroy Casper just as the experts said. The meteor contained a large amount of uranium and also uncovered some that was below the surface of Casper so there was quite a bit of radioactivity on the remains.

The military bureaucracy wanted to thoroughly investigate the makeup of the meteor and the cause of the radioactivity before they released the details.

There was no conspiracy, but when a unique event occurs, that has never been recorded in our history, a number of seemingly unexplainable anomalies occur.

We find what we are looking for.

Absolutely True

A Course in Miracles student posted attempting to correct me stating that I was wrong saying that truth is absolute. He maintains that truth is relative and quoted this from the Course:

 “The truth is true. Nothing else matters, nothing else is real, and everything beside it is not there. Let me make the one distinction for you that you cannot make, but need to learn. Your faith in nothing is deceiving you….” T-14.II.3

You say the truth is relative, but I find that teaching nowhere in ACIM or in life. Instead, I find that statement based in illusion. It is the “faith in nothing” that the course teaches.

Here is a quote that affirms that truth is absolute:

“For truth is true, and nothing else is true. There is no opposite to choose instead. There is no contradiction to the truth.” W-pI.138.4

Then it says this comparing the idea of relative truth to chaos:

“The first chaotic law is that the truth is different for everyone.” T-23.II.2.

There is nothing relative about the statement “My mind is a part of God’s. I am very holy.” It is absolute truth that you are a part of God and so am I just like it is an absolute truth that a wheel is part of a car.

If I am happy, I may say absolutely that I am “very” happy. This would be true and nothing else would be true in that instant. “I am very holy” is a very absolute truth about you and me when we see through the eyes of the Holy Spirit. If we do not see it, it is still absolutely true.

You ask: “Does absolute truth see you as separate from me?” The answer is yes and no. We are parts of the body of God just like the various parts of our body. My mouth may say “I am Joseph” or it may say “I am the mouth.” Both are absolutely true. But the whole absolute truth is that the mouth is a part of the whole and that one part of the whole is affected by every other part.

The answer to your question is that when I look at the wholeness (or holiness) of God you are not separate from me, but if I look at the part then I am separate. This makes what I see relative to my perception, but does not make any truth relative. Truth never changes, only our perception does.

I can’t believe that you are a student of ACIM and have not grasped one of its basic teachings about the truth.

You also state “truth has to do with the heart not the head.”

ACIM teaches as much about the importance of the mind as it does about the heart. They are both two parts of a great whole. Using the heart alone to find truth is like one hand clapping. It doesn’t happen and as the Course states:

“This is a course in mind training.” T-1.VII.4

Many times it stresses the importance of mind:

“If I did not think I would not exist, because life is thought.” W-pI.54.2.

It appears to me that there is some fear in you about using the mind. I think you should examine this part of yourself that avoids the inner conflicts the mind can arouse. If the mind is guided by the Holy Spirit then the conflict may arise in others when truth is presented, but not in the presenter.

If you have learned the basics of ACIM you will not feel attacked by this but edified. My words are not as strong as the course itself.

“Truth is ever to be found in simplicity, and not in the multiplicity and confusion of things”. – Isaac Newton.

The Mystery of Purpose

Purpose is the initiating energy and has no duality, but its vibration creates the illusion of duality.

Purpose is the initiating energy and is eternal. It is different from intent or having an objective. That which you intend will have a beginning and an end as well as that which you will and the two energies are thus under the influence of vibration as well as time.

Eternal Purpose is not the same as objective. An objective has a beginning and an end but Purpose exists in timelessness. An objective which is in alignment with Purpose is part of an eternal chain of events.

Purpose begins in timelessness, passes through every atom in time and returns to timelessness again which is the same as saying it has no beginning or end.

First comes Purpose. It must exist before there can be Will or intent. Without Purpose there can be no will to do anything. Where ever there is a Will the question is — what is the Life willing to do? The answer is to fulfill Purpose.

Aligned with Will and Purpose is Power. When the Life has Purpose and perceives Power to fulfill that Purpose then the energy of Will directs that Power and we have the creation of vibration.

Actually, vibration exists between two eternities so it has no end but all the forms vibration takes has beginning and end.

When Will-Power-Purpose are realized to some degree then intention comes into existence. There has to be some sort of self-identity to have intention.

The aspects of Will-Power-Purpose have many correspondences. I have also called them Light-Love-Purpose.

Purpose has no vibration because it is the midway point between the points of the wavelength. Therefore, it cannot be two, but is only one. It is the point between “land and water that is neither wet nor dry.” It is the place where “magic is wrought.”

Life extension can come through intent, but immortality can only come through aligning with Purpose which links us up with lives much greater than ourselves who have “obtained the resurrection” and can channel the power of re-creation down to us.

Purpose takes one out of the influence of the “rolling force.”

The word “faith” is not really a belief but it is a state of mind that is aligned with Purpose that can override all the influences on the physical world even to the production of great miracles including the overcoming of death.

A full explanation of Purpose has not been given to mankind, but can be sensed through contemplation.

There are a basic set of principles we all must eventually learn, but we all will have a different experience in reaching the end of the path. That different experience could be called a different path. My point is that technically we all wind up learning the same lessons just as you mentioned in the martial arts.

Doing things by the force of will does have its limitations. Let me explain. If you will for something to happen and it interferes with the will of two other people whose combination of two wills is stronger than your one, then the power of the two wills will overcome your one. This is the reason a successful politician must tune into the will of the masses. Even a Hitler must keep public opinion on his side.

In many cases it is impossible for two opposing wills to have their way. They will often diffuse each other.

The true path to power is to tune into the Power of Purpose the One Great Life has in store for this planet and then become an agent of His Power. In this case a person is not operating in the power of his “little will” but of a power that is a fiat accompli — a will that must be fulfilled.

Compare your will to the Planetary Logos, for instance, with a germ in your body to your own. As long as that germ does not interfere with your larger will it is free to do as it pleases, but the moment one starts to put you at dis-ease you will then take strong medicine to stop it.

A reader brought up the idea that the real Jesus escaped crucifixion and another disciple took his place, similar to Islamic belief.

There were two entities involved in the crucifixion and resurrection, but I maintain it was quite a bit different than this. See my previous writings on the overshadowing.

Everyone has a purpose in life. Perhaps yours is watching television. David Letterman (1947 – )

Imperfect Initiates

There has been speculation that Barack Obama may be an initiate so I thought I would make a few comments. Identifying initiates is a tricky thing. For one thing, many expect an initiate to be near perfect, or at least have a similar belief system to themselves. In the past I have identified George W. Bush as a second degree initiate, and some who dislike Bush thought that this just couldn’t be.

Why did they think this?

Most likely because they strongly disagreed with Bush.

I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again. First and second degree initiates are still subject to illusion, and therefore will often strongly agree with each other as well as many non initiates.

These initiates will work in all fields of endeavor and will often promote things that you or I may find repulsive. There are initiates who strongly believe in communism, socialism, free enterprise and some close to anarchy.

The reason the first and second initiates are so diverse is they have not yet mastered illusion and are unable to see all the flaws in their foundation beliefs.

They have, however, reached the stage where they tend to follow the highest they know.

I use the word “tend” rather than giving an absolute because a handful of initiates get frustrated with their slow progress and leave the highest they know behind and gravitate toward the selfish side. As they progress and learn they see through much illusion so unlike average selfish people they pursue selfishness knowingly.

Both selfish and unselfish second-degree initiates eventually reach a point of realization where they are able to make the great choice. They are able to make this choice because they see the two paths in front of them.

One path leads to spiritual light, love and unselfish service.

The other leads to lower light, self-love and selfish service. The wayward one sees that this produces more immediate and easier to attain results.

The first path leads to oneness with Christ and the Brotherhood of Light. The second leads to associations with the brothers of darkness.

Only a third degree initiate or higher who has seen the two paths and chosen correctly can be trusted by the Brotherhood of Light. Lower initiates, even though they be of pure intent, can still be sidetracked by illusion and for a period of time promote the cause of darkness rather than light.

As a whole those who have attained the third degree or higher will sense the Oneness Principle and will rarely disagree, especially where principles are involved. When a principle enters the communication two third degree initiates will see the core of it in a similar fashion though they may disagree in the working out of the details and minutia.

That said let us ponder again on the status of Obama.

An initiate is one who initiates. An initiate for the light initiates things that bring greater freedom and light. An initiate for the dark side initiates works that bring less freedom for the whole.

Has Obama initiated anything? As far as a work of some kind he has done very little and I see no qualifying thing here. (written in 2008 right after the election) He says he will hit the ground running as soon as he takes office and make many changes. Let us see if he creates a work of lasting value that brings greater freedom.

On the other hand, aside from a lack of work he has initiated, a thing of importance was accomplished by being the first black man elected President. In doing this he has set an example for his race which may give them a greater faith in their own accomplishments and bring greater freedom for them.

I would guess that Obama is a second degree initiate around the same level as Bush. The difference in the two is that they both have different illusions in their foundation beliefs, giving them both much different world views.

Even so, I will tell you this. When the two men meet and work out the transfer of power they have and will both feel a rapport with each other. It will feel like they are both part of a brotherhood, but the feeling will not make sense to them, especially to Obama who wants to dislike Bush. Obama will go away from those meetings liking Bush more than he wants to.

Now if they were both third degree initiates they would have more than a sense of brotherhood, but a knowledge. In private they would embrace as brothers and see eye-to-eye on the direction the nation must take.

As an initiate Obama is in a dangerous position as a believer in sharing the wealth by force of law. If he is to choose the path of light, when he arrives at that point, he must work to expand rather than to contract the freedom for the whole. Assisting the black race is not enough, the third-degree initiate must seek the welfare and greater freedom for the whole.

In about two years from now (maybe sooner) we should have a pretty good idea if he will be making additional progress toward the light.

On another  subject a reader says I am working on the assumption that “the spiritual essence has no form.” Not so.

I recognize the form of the spiritual essence as I understand you as defining it.

When you describe the egg shape you seem to be describing the shape of the astral body which circulates around us. Is this correct?

This is the second world of form. Still higher is the mental world. Then there are the four formless above that. Even there we have wombs of circulating energy ready to give birth to words of form.

All the seven worlds have either form or a correspondence to form and thus are filled with vibration. All vibration has a beginning and end.

But what is it that is vibrating? That is the eternal part of ourselves because it truly has no form and is not influenced by time.

To overcome death one does not continue existence in one single form. This would eventually cause retrogression. To overcome death one must learn to still the vibration and go back to our source and then recreate a body (the “Mayavirupa”) by creating the necessary vibration.

The vehicles of human awareness have form, but the power behind the awareness does not and is eternal.

On the other hand, the way you now think, feel and believe will not exist in the far future, but that which causes them will.

A reader mentions forces that are “glue” that hold our bodies together. These forces are basically earthly prana directed by soul energy and is not claimed by me to be eternal or responsible for awareness.

Awareness as we know it is caused by our perception through our vehicles. If we lose our physical body our attention is shifted and our awareness changes. Some people lose most of their awareness because of the strong identity with the body, others have an enhanced awareness because they can let go and adapt to the new circumstances. We are not rendered “something else” any more than falling in love makes us something else. An experience of different energies alters us but does not make us something else. It only seems that way.

“Will” is still an illusion, albeit a very high one and is created by Purpose. Purpose creates awareness; therefore, awareness does have a strong link with the Eternal. Awareness is created and recreated eternally by the eternal ray of Purpose making you an eternal being.

Our “will power” and “intent” can prolong life, but has nothing to do with immortality. The Great Initiator created the power of the wavelength that multiplied itself creating the Illusion that the Creator divided itself. To find immortality we must unite with the other parts of ourselves and tap into the creative Ray of Purpose.

I agree that time is different in the various worlds of vibration, but maintain that it does not exist when Purpose is found, because there is no vibration to cause time or beginning or end. There is only “Eternal Now.”

In response to a comment suggesting there were good and bad rays I said this:

The rays are neither good or evil but all work toward the dominating good. Good dominates because there is intelligence dispersed throughout the universe and intelligence eventually sees the correct path and chooses to follow it. As long as intelligence exists in the world of form, good will dominate. Of course there will be temporary pockets and cycles where evil or error will dominate, but intelligence will eventually see the error and correct it.

Messages from the Future? — Part Two

Here’s some more info from Schyler who  says he is from the future. My comments are not included as they were saved in a separate file.

Post Number Six — From Schyler

Sorry, I cannot take the time now to really address the questions you pose, but I’ll do what I can.

First, nothing that has happened is cast in stone. What I describe is earth/human future as it now is progressing. It is not really “dismal” in the long run, but I suppose you see it that way in the short (next several centuries) run. None of it need be dismal, except that as the planet’s population grows and civilization(s) expand and become more complex, it is likely (highly likely, I’m afraid) that the wars within and between nations will occur. Nationalism is the curse of the human race in the near future. If it cannot be surmounted, we are doomed to see human civilization pounded back to a more base time and manner of doing things. Even the great “super power” the U.S. may find itself torn apart by regional conflicts which never have been resolved since the beginning of the nation and even after the war between the states, 1861-65. Isn’t that self-evident? Nationalism also is progressing rapidly like a terrible cancer in the former Soviet Union and Eastern Europe. It afflicts the Middle East and could even in time ravage large countries such as India and China. All of this is to say, leaving out the natural calamities which humans could overcome if united, the political situation in the world might be the determining factor. No one needs Nostradamus or any other ancient prophet.

There are damn few records because much of the world apparently in the late 21st and 22nd centuries were severely ravaged by natural disasters as well as a series of wars that eliminated records from that time, as well as wiping out vast electronic libraries. It is a bad idea not to put some records in stone. A massive electrical storm from space could wipe out many important records now. Think about where our computer world is headed. But then that is why I’m here now, and my successors for the next two centuries also: to try to reconstruct the records. Does this make any sense? We do not want to change the outcome of what happened, to be honest. We don’t want to change our future. We like it, in fact. But we are carefully studying it, just as you would if you could go back to study the origins of America. Would you want to change the course of the American Revolution? You could. But in “fine tuning” what was done in Philadelphia, you might just screw up the rest of history. Trying to make it better could make it worse. No, we want to understand, so we can make it better much later, not in the near term.

In the year 2500 plus we have reached far beyond the solar system. The sea is our home.

The well prepared and most able of humans guide the affairs of the human race on planet earth in 2500. Election is an outmoded term. Do we really elect our leaders now? Study Socrates and Plato. They had a much better idea about the nature of democracy. Unfortunately, we think that by having elections, with anyone able to run, and usually the most popular, or made popular with money and influence, we have genuine popular government. Alexander Hamilton deserves more study. Although I’m a life-long Democrat, mainly because I think the present so-called Republicans are self-serving and selfish people in too many cases, I find that Hamilton understood the true nature of democracy better than did Jefferson, and definitely better than Andy Jackson. As I say, this is written at high speed and deserves better attention. I’m only throwing out some ideas to study.

I don’t think it would be good to explain to geographical location of my personal community in 2500. Humans do live on the planet in a number of places, including a major civilized center off the coast of Florida. We also reside in an area that is now Texas, too, but it no longer is above the sea. I think I’ve written more than I should. I personally reside off the planet as Tellus Telegari in 2500 plus. But of what importance is that?

I believe that in my later time, the planet has achieved a good balance between the human race, other intelligent species native to the planet, and with intelligent beings who are from places not native to the planet. These “aliens” by the way are here, and have been working with the planets rising and falling civilizations for much of human existence. You must know that, of course. Best to you. Must go and get some work done.

I’m teaching several courses this summer. One is in basic media writing, although you wouldn’t know it from my hasty writing here, and also I have a “class” for people here and now who have indicated a willingness to explore the possibilities of raising the self-awareness of themselves and learning ways to affect the course of human events. I am just one of a great many teachers located all over the planet who are doing this, and have been doing this for a long time. I am very happy to be a part of this great work, even though we know we will not be entirely successful. Just remember, if we were not doing anything at all, I wouldn’t be writing to you now. I wouldn’t be here at all, nor would you, my inquisitive friend. But you are, after all, with all your questions, just the kind of individual who will make the difference.

Peace Profound,

Schyler.

 Post Number Seven — From Schyler

Wars always change humanity, and not always for the good.

Ok, you ask about records. I need to address that in this way: We have some records about this century in which you are living, but I’m here, along with others, to learn more and reconstruct lost records, especially from 2025 on to 2340 or so.

We chose leaders by merit, as noted before, and they serve as long as they display merit. They do not choose their careers, but are chosen, usually by the Supreme Council and its allied bodies, and are invited to undergo the necessary preparation. No, to anticipate a question, Adoph Hitler, or even Richard Nixon, would have little chance, because of their psychopathic natures, to achieve consideration, but other good uses could be found for them: such as running a forest and/or seaweed management program.

We live under the seas by choice, but now that the atmosphere is improving after decades of effort, more are venturing the pioneering effort to live on the land. No need to “push” the water back. We have technology and adaptation to make living beneath the sea as natural as living now on the land, but better. We began with “bubbles” and biospheres, yes, but we have produced an intelligent race of humans who can live fairly deep, at least 300 feet beneath the water. After that, one needs pressure suit. I can’t begin here to explain technology.

We have “colonies” on planets within, and beyond our planet. Yes! But it started the other way. Planet Earth is a colony of a local celestial body. My soul connection, Tellus, is originally from Europa, by way of the colony Io, see Jupiter. Tell me if you figure that out. Yes, we are still active there, and awaiting a “fireworks,” this year, but not one of life-threatening nature. We originated (Tellus and his connections as well as mine) from a place located 32 light years or so from here. Not good at details at high speed typing. Tellus is only part “human” since he has, and I think my present physical body could claim the same, DNA or genetic origin from Sirius Two, binary system, “Dogon Origin.”

That’s it for now. Continue to ask questions. Answer some. Why do you want to know? Who are you. Where were you born (are from), Where are you going? What do you want?

These are the last communications I had from Schyler. This was in 1994. He left with mysterious abruptness. and I never heard from him again. Google searches turn up nothing on him. Encountering him was a little like the John Titor mystery.

 

Post Number Eight — From Schyler

First, let me say that your questions are good ones, for the most part. They stimulate some thinking. I’m sure they will get better, and maybe then I will have time to ask some of you.

[1] Yes, World War 2 was a terrible world-wide disaster from which the human races has not yet recovered, and may not for a long time. It’s outcome could have been far worse, of course. Best, as in case of American war between the states and World War 1, would have been had these wars not been fought. Without the first, no U.S. as known, and the second, World War 1, no need for World War 2. Yet, as I’ve said, one terrible event may produce in the long run a good eventuality. Even the American Revolution, had it not occurred or been lost, might have produced a very different power dynamic that also would have changed the world, for better or worse?

[2] 25th Century has massive historical records from 2300 and on. But we still are reconstructing the “dark ages,” in between. I’m one historian and teacher of many working on history of this time. Clarify question if this does not satisfy you.

[3] Leaders of our civilization are selected on the basis of ability and criteria, over which we continue to debate, but no one becomes a leader for psychopathic reasons! That is, because he or she aspires for some ego trip leadership. Once a leader is recognized and placed in proper office he or she serves until there is reason, based on continual evaluations, to remove that officer. An exception, however, is the Supreme Council (SC). It serves for life, and decides its own membership. It is very hard, I’m sorry to say, to drop a SC leader. The U.S. Supreme Court is something like the guiding council of Io and Europa, and the Galactic Federation, both. I’ve put in too much there, but you figure it out.

All effort is to keep the most enlightened in leadership areas, not only on the Council, but other important leadership areas. Unfortunately, as today, humans still err.

Most live beneath the “atmosphere” of Earth’s seas, for one simple reason: The planets above sea atmosphere is still polluted and hard to deal with. Sorry about that. But you should have seen and experienced what the above sea atmosphere, even at ground level, in 2300. Efforts are continuing to restore the “surface” areas, but most humans and other fortunate life forms prefer undersea and other beneath water areas, with some strong exceptions: adventurers and all.

Yes to your last question. And we have many friends from outer space. More later. I see “instant messages coming in.”

Best to you and your inquisitive spirit.

Schyler.

Post Number Nine — From Schyler

Hey, I was expecting that you would drop in about now. I really have faith since it is 1:50 or so your time, but only 11:50 here. Or. . . You are the only one who asks intelligent questions of someone like me. Amazing. Yes, we have much technology in our time beneath the sea. Why shouldn’t we? What do you take us for? A school of unlettered and stupid fish? It works very well. The sea is only a thicker atmosphere than what you know, and much more pure.

The Supreme Council scares me, as does your government now. But we live with our “Great Masters” trained in the art and/or craft of government. No some things will never change. Just think how the average Roman felt about government in 200 AD, etc.

It has checks and balances. Each member is responsible to the Law. Each member must each cycle render a complete accounting which can be thoroughly checked against what has happened. It is a little neat thing that keeps even a potentially corrupt person from doing something less than serving the whole. It is sort of like being monitored on a continuing basis. Remind you of the IRS [Internal Revenue Service], with good intentions?

You have only my word and what it is worth. I offer no proofs. No way of confirmation now. It hasn’t happened yet.

It is possible for the human race to achieve peace and stability in ten years, or less, but it won’t. And when the natural course of things cut in, it will be less possible. No, sorry, we must have the times of darkness. I think so, if only that out of that time came my time (Tellus’ time).

Okay, dear Joseph. I’d love to know more about the “certain knowledge,” which I suspected you had all along. I’ve answered your questions. Did I pass your preliminary test? If so, tell me what you know. I see your direction, but need a destination. That is my question. What is your next port of call?

Yes, and thank you for your dialog. Glad to be in touch, dear kindred soul.

Schyler.

Post Number Ten — From Schyler

Thank you for a most fascinating message. Your answers are as good as your questions. I’m in the middle of grading papers and preparing for class tomorrow. I want to read your letter carefully, and then answer when I have more time. But I appreciate your communication. I acknowledge that you may have received knowledge “that will prepare man to step from the human kingdom to the God kingdom.” I think my own near death experience gave me an insight, and I definitely saw the light then. The great difficulty, dear brother, is convincing those around us without having them crush us with a label of crazy, or worse. I try to be careful. The more one knows, the more one is likely to be hurt or killed. I will read your postings in the Keys of Knowledge and study what you’ve written here and also there.

In respect and sincere wish to know. Goodbye for now.

Schyler.

Post Number Eleven — From Schyler

Thank you for being patient with me and offering most excellent intellectual and spiritual challenges. By the way, I am writing that book you suggested. It might, however, or I should say, will shake up readers, especially New Age types. Not orthodox. Not what most want to hear. Definitely not comforting to those who think we can save the planet and this current civilization. You are correct in one way, dear Joseph, we can modify the future. At least you can. No, you won’t change my future, nor the one you would have if you never had been influenced. Explain someday.

Best to you on the path. . . with Love, Schyler.

Faith declares what the senses do not see, but not the contrary of what they see.  Blaise Pascal

Messages from the Future?

When I first came online around 1996 and joined America Online I came across a very unusual character named Schyler Rehart

who claimed to be from the year 2500. He didn’t travel here physically but said he switched bodies with a person in this timeline.  The following are some of his replies to me.

Post Number One — From Schyler

Sorry, meant to add, I know exactly who I am, but I’m more interested in who you are. Until I know, I don’t chose to tell you who I am, since obviously you are new to this system. But I have your best interest and love at heart, if you have mine.

Post Number Two — From Schyler

I think you should be more specific. My life is rather long and complicated. I am of this world and time, and then way beyond. Or maybe you’ve figured that out. Check my profile. How much are you prepared to know? What can you understand? I’m from the 25th Century, but I’m also living here and now, and I can’t get back. What the hell do you care about that? Ever read anything by Mark Twain? I’m his “Yankee” in an earlier time. Not entirely happy about it. My name from Io and/or Europa: Tellus.

Want to continue?

Schyler Rehart

Post Number Three — From Schyler – answering some of my questions:

You’re are the first to ask. Remarkable.

Okay: from Tellus Telegari direct, on Io and/or Europa.

[1] Yes, but there are only millions, not billions of individuals on the planet Earth. More elsewhere, however.

[2] Of course there were terrible conflicts (“bones of contention”) We had a series of wars and natural disasters, and for a time, the human race was pounded back to a desperate state.

[3] No shift in the Earth’s axis. That is not going to happen for 50 million years at least, no matter what Velikovsky or whatever “Worlds In Collision” tells you.

[4] The continental shifts occur only over great periods of time. The Earth, in 25th Century will pretty much be as now, except that the landscape is very different — more the thanks of the human race and what it wrought, than any major shifts in the tectonic plates or anything like that. More humans will live beyond the planet Earth than on it by the time you give.

Your experience could be your soul-being of a time that has, as did Tellus Teligari, my soul-being visited me. In the future, time travel of a kind is possible, but not to change the future, but only to communicate. You’ll find all this to be true in good time. I would suggest you do not try to exchange time-periods, whatever, at least until you are fully prepared and feel it would be mutually beneficial. It can be life-threatening. I know.

More later, dear Joseph.

Post Number Four — From Schyler

Oh, I forgot, 500 years from now we finally establish a government that is made up of what Socrates would call, rule by the capable and able, not of the masses: that is, a government of enlightened people who are concerned and sincere, not ambitious and ego entranced. But that is beyond us at this time, obviously. No, not a perfect government, but one as far superior as say, well, compare that of Attila with the one we have now. Believe it or not, we have made some progress, but not all we could do. Government of the able is far beyond us right now, obviously! But we are on the path, after a few more wars and the temporary collapse of a few civilizations. The human race will prevail.

 

Post Number Five — From Schyler

You ask very good questions, and I wish I knew all the answers. Unfortunately, between this time and the time from which my future soul came, in his time he was named Tellus Telegari, and he lives (will live) in a place I will for now merely refer to as the Great Forest Io. It is located far from here, but on this planet.

You are the first to ask on-line. I have come across people with well-developed curiosities in my life.

The reason that Tellus opened the connection with his former life, namely me, is that he also is seeking answers. We don’t know much about the period between 2025 and 2350. Civilization took a bad turn at that time, and was set back to a kind of “dark age” that we want to know more about.

I don’t have time to go into details now. Maybe you will have to wait to read my book. But I’ll tell you, as much as you are better off knowing for now, and all I can tell you without sounding off-the-wall.

[1] Avatars are among us in every age. Great spiritual individuals, men and women are here now. We are reluctant to know them, or trust them. It is a wise prophet to tread carefully. We all know what happens to individuals who appear to know much and tell the people what they don’t want to hear. It is a good way to anger individuals who can cause serious harm, and an early transition from this life. J.

Krishnamurti, for example, was a great avatar. He wisely refused to accept the role, and taught, or rather, offered guidance to those of us willing to sit and listen and ask questions. He went through transition after a long and successful life on earth. He taught in a place called Ojai, California. You can check him out, and decide whether he was a wise man. I was privileged to know him for more than 25 of my years, and loved to be with him summers when he was available. There are others, but it is the fate of such people to be lost sometimes in the babble of those who would put themselves forth as prophets. Never expect a true sage to go public and proclaim his real status. Anyone who does that is asking for rejection and worse.

[2] Yes, earth has made contact with representatives of other planets. As with avatars, the contacts are carefully arranged, and take place at the will of the aliens who are wise enough to know just how much they can accomplish. As with wise individuals, they know how humans react when presented with knowledge that upsets their cherished ideas and beliefs.

[3] Don’t understand have we explored under the earth. We have, but we need to explore the seas. There is intelligent life in the oceans of the world. Eventually, as in the case of Tellus, humans will live in places beneath the oceans where life began, and where it will end for this planet.

[4] The average life span when? In 2500 or so — about the same as now, except that the environment is more difficult to deal with and it requires much greater effort for humans to live well on the planet. Some individuals, however, have learned to live as long as 100 to 120 years. But that is true now.

[5] Religion is an obsolete concept in the future. We retain belief systems, but the idea of what you, I believe, understand of religious orders, cults, etc., were replaced by a basic acceptance by humans that life is meant to be lived and experienced. We generally, but not all, reject the idea of a set of orthodox ideas set down and established as “The Way.” We continue to believe in the Creator. The Soul is understood much better, and the need, as Avatars of the past have insisted, that we each go forth into the “wilderness,” be tempted, and find for ourselves the truth of life, and learn to live according to our discovery of the meaning of life. Much more on that, of course. Read K., as noted above. We have before us now the necessary information and inspiration. We need to grow spiritually and learn to deal with our realities in the light of the actuality, and stop depending on “enlightened ones” to tell us what to believe and how to live. This is not to say there is no first principles and verities. There certainly are. But we must do more than believe in them. We must learn to live by them, as we come to reconcile ourselves to them, and then to live in accordance to them, not pretending to believe or processing to be good believers. By our thoughts and deeds we will be judged, not by our professed beliefs, no matter how fervently held and loudly proclaimed.

[6] The next great war. Who knows? We would like to know that. But the next several decades will not be a peaceful time. As the Chinese curse, may we live in interesting times. We will do that. Civilization will change dramatically. At some time in the not-too-distant future, the planet will suffer some very bad times, and most of the human race will die violently. Not all at once, but as our civilization evolves and comes more interdependent and complex, so it also moves toward its down destruction.

[7] I’m sorry, but Nostradamus was a man who had great insight for his time. We read much too much into his quatrains. The Middle East will explode first, then India and Pakistan, but that will be only the beginning. The idea of an Antichrist is a simple metaphor for something too complex here, but it is a religious notion and has no real validity.

[8] Don’t know about human future in space. We apparently will make some progress to reach Mars. No known planets near us can support our human life, but the attempt to reach planets will hasten this civilization’s downfall. There are, by the way, many planets in the universe that support intelligent life. Some of them, traveling in ways that defy our knowledge of science, have reached us long ago, and are among us.

That’s more than enough to unsettle you, I’m sure. But the government I suggested will exist, but not soon, sorry to say, although it is worth the effort to achieve it. None of what I’ve said has to happen. Worried about changing the future? Why not? This is a complex notion. The future, as the past, is very large and has its own destiny. We can, however, make some changes, and for the betterment of the human race. It is predicted, I am reliably told, we will. But that won’t change our overall fate, because the human race is as I write making its own destiny. Sorry I can’t be more clear and understandable here. But since you asked. . . . Love and best to you, and peace profound.

Your Friend in return,

Schyler
