Challenging Situations

There are situations that tempt one to suppress that are completely under your control and then there are others where control is awkward, or seemingly harmful.

An example of the first category would be where someone makes remarks that hurt one’s feelings. In this case the person may not want to create a conflict so he doesn’t say anything and acts like his feelings are fine.

In this situation, however, he usually has full power to not suppress and just communicate in a civil manner how the person made him feel. The results will be much more positive than negative and will relieve the grievance and help the relationship.

The second category is where honest communication would seem to have a big downside. There are two main situations where this may occur.

The first is your job and the second a marriage.

If one is in a job where he has a boss that is abusive and he really needs the job and the money then speaking about one’s true feelings or thoughts may get him fired and be the cause of great difficulty for some time to come, especially if such jobs are scarce.

One may also be in a marriage that he or she does not want to see end. Either he is in love and doesn’t want to lose the person or he is very dependent on his partner.

In most situations in a marriage a person can honestly communicate emotions without worrying about divorce, but if certain categories are hot button issues with a mate the person may figure he just needs to control or suppress his feelings if he wants to stay married.

These are awkward situations that make many feel trapped and there are only two ways out.

(1) Be prepared to leave the situation or relationship and as civilly and as honest as possible communicate your feelings or…

(2) Learn to assume the attitude of the observer. As an observer you do not get your feelings hurt no matter how much you are insulted.

If you are at a theater and watching the hero being insulted by the bad guy, are your feelings hurt?

No.

Why?

Because you realize you are the observer.

Like Shakespeare said, we are all actors on the stage of life and if we see ourselves as merely playing a roll then others will have no more power to hurt us than we allow.

I have had a very difficult past marriage and several horrible bosses and I found that looking on those difficult situations as a school type situation, giving me the practice of being the observer was helpful.

I had one boss in construction that really had it in for me and shouted in my face at me on a regular basis. I needed the job and the money so I just tuned him out until he got things out of his system. I used the Lion Principle on him and just realized that he was who he was and there was nothing I could do about it. On the positive side my encounters with him provided good entertainment for other workers.

Anyway, he was unable to hurt my feelings at all; the only negative effect was he hindered me from getting my work done rather than helping.

It is interesting though that if a negative person sees that he can’t have a negative effect on you he will often turn up the volume and become more aggressive and annoying than ever. This will indeed test the seeker’s power to be the observer.

There have been times in my life where I risked everything and others where I played it safe. It is a judgment all one must make using common sense and as much soul contact as possible.

“Any change, any loss, does not make us victims. Others can shake you, surprise you, disappoint you, but they can’t prevent you from acting, from taking the situation you’re presented with and moving on. No matter where you are in life, no matter what your situation, you can always do something. You always have a choice and the choice can be power.”

More on The Song of Eternal Life

Tom asks

What is this other prayer for healing and how does it compares with the song of the 144,000? I have motion sickness and wanting to throw up during car rides will this prayer help me? Where the prayer come from? Do I have to say it out loud or in my head?

JJ

It is called The Song of Eternal Life and it has a different purpose than the Song of the 144,000. The first song is designed for empowerment and to bring you closer to Spirit and the new one is for healing and increased physical vitality – which many of us need.

In answer to your question I was impressed through the Spirit to write it.

It is best to say it aloud, but if this is inconvenient it will still have effect if you think the words and visualize the meaning coming to pass.

Here is the Song again:

The Song of Eternal Life

OM – OM – OM

I thank you Father-Mother-Spirit

For the energy of life that is sent

From Universal Source to me

For the life that circulates through each atom and cell

Permeating my entire body and mind

Bringing health and vitality to all my living parts.

I bask in this life

I feel the life

I am the life

The life which knows not corruption

The life which makes all things new

The life which always IS.

I feel the life from my toes to the top of my head

And give thanks for its abundance.

I praise and love my body and all of its parts

For receiving this Life and Spirit and Source.

I praise body, soul and spirit

For receiving without ceasing.

A-U-M (AHHHHH – UUUUUHHH [as in you] – MMMMMM)

Mastering Emotion

Dan has written about an interesting situation that has developed in his life. Before he came across my teachings he was basically Mr. Nice Guy and contained all negative feelings so he wouldn’t create a disturbance. Then, after applying my teachings about the problems that develop with suppression, he examined his emotions and decided that more of them needed to be let out of the box which would avoid congestion of the vital energy.

Now that this box has been opened it seems that some of the emotions are too out of control and need to be harmlessly contained and the Principle of the Observer must be applied.

So, the big question is, how does one avoid suppression and yet still apply the Principles of Harmlessness and The Observer so emotional energy is not suppressed, yet does not get out of control and become destructive?

Here’s the situation the seeker must deal with. He has examined his feeling nature and discovered that he has suppressed and even denied the existence of negative feelings. This situation has created health problems and possibly cancer or tumorous growths. To solve the problem he faces his real feelings and lets them out. He then discovered why he suppressed in the first place and that was to avoid the problems and the conflict that negative emotions can generate.

He doesn’t want to suppress again, but does want to neutralize or control his negative feelings and render them harmless. What to do?

At this stage of the game the all-important Principle of Judgment must be applied. There is no black and white formula to guarantee that at point A you will identify with your emotions and at point B you will be the observer and direct them toward harmlessness.

To get from point A to point B requires a journey that takes numerous turns and a judgment call is required for each turn. When you arrive at point B you will clearly see how you did it, but it would be difficult to explain to your past self at point A. All you could do is give him some pointers.

It is really like learning any skill or art. For instance, let us say you wanted to learn to paint portraits of people. You attend a class on the subject and find that there is no simple formula to attain this ability. The instructor does not give a simple assignment saying, “Do A,B and C” and then you will be a great artist.”

Instead he teaches you some basics and gives you guidance. To learn to be a good artist you find that the tips are helpful, but the most important ingredient is practice.

At first your portraits are so bad you throw them in the trash and doubt yourself. You might feel discouraged and think your ability will never amount to anything. But if you stay with it, focus and apply the right principles you will eventually succeed to the point where every portrait you draw is a good one and represents a degree of mastery.

There is a story I like that illustrates this principle.

After a violinist performed a piece with great skill a member of the audience came up to him and said, “That was absolutely beautiful. I would give half my life to be able to play like that.”

The violinist looked at him and replied, “That, my friend, is exactly what I have done.”

Mastery of any kind takes effort and attention. Nothing worthwhile is ever gained without it.

One more thing is required. A student must incorporate the right principles. If he has a teacher who himself is mislead on the subject he may find himself going in the wrong direction and eventually must backtrack and correct. But even here he has developed some focus and attention that he takes with him when he finally settles on the right path.

The seeker who is attempting to master elements of himself is no different than the artist who learns through trial and error along with hints from his teachers. There is no instant formula for success, but if the goal is kept in the consciousness his success is assured.

Once the seeker honestly faces his negative emotions and does not deny or suppress them he must then render them harmless, taking the viewpoint of he observer.

The key to doing this is the mere realization that you are not your emotions, but they are merely a circulation of energy in a vehicle (emotional body) that you are temporarily using. Just like you can control the gas petal of your car (a vehicle) even so can you take charge of your emotions and direct them toward a harmless end.

Confusion may come because suppression and denial require self control just like consciously directing emotions toward harmlessness does. The seeker may fear using self control to direct emotion in the latter case for fear he may wind up suppressing again. At this point it is important that the seeker not remain still but forge ahead – and here is the key to success.

When a person suppresses there will be a certain feeling generated deep inside. It will be like a little voice you want to ignore that wants to speak and express itself.

Control from the vantage point of the observer doesn’t have to deal with that voice for the feeling nature is given its true recognition. When the observer controls the emotions the astral deva lives do not feel suppressed but thankful that they are being intelligently directed.

You’ll know you are on the right track when your emotions tell you that they are glad your mind stepped in and took control and guided then to harmlessness.

Each of us should not lack for opportunity to practice controlling our emotions from the vantage point of the observer. There are plenty of unreasonable people in the world who are happy to press our emotional buttons. Each time the button is pressed, realize that the feeling is not you, but something generated in your emotional body. Respond to the button pusher in an honest, but friendly manner. Even though you give a kind response you may find you will generate a conflict because you are sending the energy generated right back at him. The odd thing is being civil will often send the energy back with more force than cussing at him would.

If a conflict arises see this as a classroom situation that you must handle well to get an A. After the situation has passed then reflect on your performance and grade yourself while making plans to do better next time.

Hope this helps.

Each generation should produce those able to ascertain subjective fact for themselves; they will utilize that which is exoteric and known as stepping stones on the path to perfect knowledge. They will know, and they will give out, and only the next cycle of fifty years after their work is accomplished will see the recognition by the many of the truth revealed by the few.

Molecular Purpose

Ginger writes:

What do you envision the first molecule actually doing (on a practical, physical level) once the soul connection of the group is created and, hopefully, maintained? Do they live in the same community (before the cities of light have been created)? Do they carry out their normal daily activities and unite periodically to bring down higher knowledge and light? Any added info would be great. I understand the basic principles of the molecule (I think) but am just curious about the practical, day-to-day implications.

JJ

Good questions. Ruth did a good job of bring up some useful information on the molecule, but I haven’t yet written much about what the lives of the members will be like when molecules are created.

I have stated though that the members will have to physically gather together to create the first molecules. It may eventually be possible to create and maintain them without physically gathering, but the members would have to be capable of non physical communication. Unfortunately, very few on the planet have such abilities.

You’ll note that in the formation of the first recorded molecule Jesus physically gathered the twelve apostles. Then after it was temporarily disabled, thanks to Judas, the group had to physically gather again to reestablish the link. After replacing Judas this followed:

And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.

And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven.

Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language. Acts 2:1-6

Notice that when the linking up came that they were all physically gathered into one place. After this event they were often separated, but their link up remained intact as far as we know. I believe that they gathered whenever possible and this served to recharge their spiritual energies.

As Ruth noted my guess back in 1999 was quite off about how far away the organizing of the first molecule would be. At that time the internet was a new promising entity and I thought that access to it would give us a big boost in the gathering process. The trouble is that there are millions of competitors vying for the attention of users so it hasn’t been the vehicle I had hoped for, though it still holds great possibilities to help gather the lights.

You’ll notice that after the crucifixion that the Twelve had resigned themselves to going back to their regular lives working at regular jobs and being regular people. Then after the resurrection and Pentecost their lives were altered. With enhanced abilities and a definite purpose they redirected their lives to changing the world.

Even so, after the first molecule is created the members will have a sure knowledge of the powers of the spirit and seek to lift up their fellow men and women.

For a molecule to work each member has to be fully dedicated in his heart to serving his brethren and lifting up the downward focused eyes of those who dwell in darkness to the light of the soul.

The molecules will be much more sensitive to divine will than are the exoteric groups we now see about us today and no one can predict the various missions they will tune in to, but when perceived and accepted members will go forward focused on the fiery will of God. Kind of liked a spiritual mission impossible.

There will (through this and analogous groups) be set in motion on earth a network of spiritual energies which will facilitate the regeneration of the world. The influence of these groups—when permanently established and potently working—will have a wider objective than just the elevation of humanity.

The potent rhythm which animates the inner Brotherhood of the Lodge of Masters will make itself felt everywhere on earth and these groups, if successful, may be regarded as the first step toward the emergence into manifestation of the Great White Lodge. But remember this: the keynote of the Lodge is not attainment or degree. It is stable relationship, unity of thought, plus diversity of method, of effort and of function and its quality is friendship in its purest sense. The Brotherhood is a community of souls who are swept by the desire to serve, urged by a spontaneous impulse to love, illumined by one pure Light, devotedly fused and blended into groups of serving Minds, and energised by one Life. Its Members are organised to further the Plan which They consciously contact and with which They deliberately cooperate.

The Point of Focus

A subject that may just cause me more reflection than any other is the great divide between the left and the right. The interesting thing is that this division occurs in all divisions of intelligence and known spiritual progression.

I say “known” because at some point up the spiral left and right have to merge into a unified whole and seen with oneness through eyes of understanding.

Forget about the unknown for now and let us look at this division as it exists among us humans. This division exists most prominently in the political field, though one may see it expressing itself to some degree in all matters of thought.

It is curious indeed that when there is an argument as to who is right and who is wrong that we just cannot go to some informed and intelligent individual and just ask. That doesn’t work because there are intelligent and informed individuals on both sides of most every political argument.

Yes, it is interesting that if we wanted to know if a certain complex mathematical equation is correct all we would have to do is find an expert and he could tell us. If we wanted to know how to set a bone a doctor could tell us. If we wanted to know how a rocket engine works a rocket scientist could tell us.

On the other hand, if we want to know if Obamacare is a good thing, if gun control is beneficial or if abortion should be allowed there is no authority, high or low, who can give an answer that settles the conflict.

We can take most any divisive issue and watch two intelligent people from the two sides debate and after the facts are presented no one changes his mind, or rarely so.

Why is this?

The answer more than anything is the point of focus.

Both the left and the right share a lot of the same goals and ideals, but have a totally different focus on how to achieve them. For instance, both sides want world peace, but the right puts focus on peace through strength and the left on peace though being nice.

Both sides want to help the poor, but the right wants to help them become self sufficient and help them to help themselves whereas the left wants to give them money, usually other people’s money.

We see a pattern here. Both sides see the problems that exist, but the right focuses on analyzing the problem and then creating a step-by-step long term solution that may be difficult, but a permanent fix.

The left focuses on the here and now and wants quick and easy results. We can be nice to the bad guy now, but it takes time and effort to create a good defense.

If we give the poor an immediate handout the problem is solved for today, but to help them become self-sufficient takes time and effort.

If you abort a fetus the problem of inconvenience is immediately solved. Keeping the baby may require a lifetime of commitment.

There’s the easy way and the hard way to achieve a goal. Unfortunately, the easy way often turns out to be the hard way in the long run. It is easy right now for us as a nation to borrow trillions more dollars to fund programs we like, but when we find that we have to deal with that debt we then realize that the easy path was not so easy after all.

DK puts focus on the practical approach:

I am acting upon the assumption that all have lived long enough and battled sufficiently with deterrent forces of life to have enabled them to develop a fairly true sense of values. I assume they are endeavouring to live as those who know something of the true eternal values of the soul. They are not to be kept back by any happenings to the personality or by the pressure of time and circumstance, by age or physical disability. They have wisely learnt that enthusiastic rushing forward and a violent energetic progress has its drawbacks, and that a steady, regular, persistent endeavour will carry them further in the long run. Spasmodic spurts of effort and temporary pressure peter out into disappointment and a weighty sense of failure. It is the tortoise and not the hare that arrives first at the goal, though both achieve eventually…

Intention and effort are considered by us of prime importance, and are the two main requisites for all disciples, initiates and masters, plus the power of persistence.

Treatise on White Magic, Page 54

***

Here DK talks about the unity that will be required that must be applied to create a Molecule

You must not imagine that the particular line of work on which you may be engaged is the factor of main interest. It is not primarily the unfoldment of the intuition, or of the power to heal, or of telepathic efficiency which is of importance. That which counts with the Hierarchy as the Ashrams function is the establishing subjectively of such a potent group interplay and group relation that an emerging world unity can be seen in embryo. A joint power to be telepathic or a group capacity to intuit truth is of value and somewhat novel. It is the functioning of groups who have the ability to work as a unity, whose ideals are one, whose personalities are merged into one forward swing, whose rhythm is one and whose unity is so firmly established that naught can produce in the group the purely human characteristics of separation, of personal isolation and selfish seeking, that is new. Unselfish people are not rare. Unselfish groups are very rare. Pure detached devotion in a human being is not rare but to find it in a group is rare indeed. The submergence of personal interests in the good of the family or in that of another person is often to be found, for the beauty of the human heart has manifested itself down the ages. To find such an attitude in a group of people and to see such a point of view maintained with an unbroken rhythm and demonstrating spontaneously and naturally—this will be the glory of the New Age.
