Where Are the Masters?

I am wondering if there are many masters reincarnating or have already into this time period to help humanity through this rough patch? Or high level initiates at least?

Maybe it is just me but I feel something has to give soon and I have the feeling it is going to get pretty rough soon. I feel like the Korean problem while still volatile has passed its most dangerous point and is calming down.

Still unemployment is increasing rapidly despite politicians and media pundits claiming were in recovery and of course politicians are borrowing and spending like drunken sailors.

We Have riots in Europe and the UK as students are mad the government wants to cut back the education subsidies and make them pay more as governments all over the world are bankrupt and running the printing presses or credit card so to speak to pay the bills. And yes Australia too they just had more room to inflate then the US but are in the same boat and will catch up soon.

While it’s possible things could change nothing has and there is no indication any of the people that need to be the catalyst for change are even considering it. At some point the unemployment will reach a critical mass and then you will have a bunch of pissed off people with nothing left to lose.

I just feel people need to prepare for a time in the near future when there will be no jobs and food etc will be scarce. I don’t see it heading any other way. If something changes to save the day great but in the meantime were on our own for a good stretch and were going to have to reap what we have sown as a people I think.

Hate to be gloomy and I still have a strange optimism at the eventual outcome but the in between is not going to be fun and what we see now is just barely the tip of the iceberg. Thoughts?

JJ
Unless some turnaround occurs we are indeed headed toward financial catastrophe. One just has to do the math on the increasing interest payments we are making on our debt.

There are ways to turn things around and perhaps the only real solution will come from the people themselves as politicians seem to lose all touch with common sense after they get settled into office. The new crop shows some promise but we’ll have to wait and see.

Mentally it seems logical that I should be placing all my energy into organizing something to incorporate some of the changes I have written about but my soul tells me that the time is not quite right and wait for a season. I do not think the time is far off as more people are looking for solutions as time passes.

As to where the masters or initiates are it appears that not many high on the scale have entered politics as there doesn’t seen to be much light in he halls of Congress.

An amazing number thought that Obama was a master or high initiate. His ability to read a teleprompter well seemed to have misled many. Thankfully you and I were not among them. Now, even many of his supporters are coming to the conclusion that he is in way over his head.

So, if Obama was not a master or high initiate then where are they – or do such entities avoid politics completely?

If we want to find any initiates among politicians we must know what to look for. What kind of approach would be taken by a lofty soul who is in politics? The masters focus on the line of Love/Wisdom and can be found on the plane of the mind so a high initiate would use logic and reason tempered with love.

Anyone working with the forces of light would show these qualities.

(1) He or she would not support the idea of continually spending more money than we have and strapping the next generation with high interest payments.

(2) He would support the principle of freedom and thus work to run the country on the lowest possible tax rate giving people freedom to invest their own money.

(3) He would not seek for excessive regulation and quality of laws but only essential ones.

(4) He would not use the poor and unemployed to increase his power base but sincerely seek to assist them in ways that will get the willing back into productivity.

(5) He would be a true environmentalist. He would not use the environment as a weapon to increase political power or raise taxes but seek to aid the environment in common sense ways.

(6) He would not be black and white but willing to use the principle of judgment as situations change.

(7) If he is an initiate then he will be working on initiating something new.

That said – let me throw this out to the group.

First, do you agree with the above seven points? If not what criteria would you use?

Secondly, can you think of any one involved in politics who you think could be an agent for the Brotherhood of light?

If the answer is yes then why do you think this?

What Is The Meaning Of 666?

Joseph Dewey
This entry is part 30 of 57 in the series Mysteries

Question Thirty-One

What Is The Meaning Of 666?

The mysterious number of the beast comes from this scripture:

“Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the Beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.” Rev 13:18

Notice the wording here. “Let him that hath understanding.” In the Greek it more literally reads “Let him who has a mind calculate or figure it out.” In other words, the meaning of the 666 is not obvious, bur requires mind and understanding to comprehend.

The 666 has been traditionally linked to the mark of the beast.  Many think that a great world dictator will arise and force all but the redeemed to receive a mark in their forehead or right hand and somehow the number 666 will be a part of that mark.

Others have reduced various names to a numerical value and have tried to identify the beast this way. Historically the most common interpretation has been Nero who persecuted the early Christians.  On the other hand, those who see the beast as appearing in the present or near future have identified him with quite a number of powerful people including most recent U.S. presidents.

In our last chapter we came to the unusual conclusion that the beast and the mark are not future events or tied to one point in history, but they have always been with us.  This also applies to the 666. This number has been with us all along.

The orthodox translation has misled many people into thinking the number just applies one man for it says it is “it is the number of a man.” “Of a man” comes from the Greek ANTHRŌPOS and it rarely refers to one individual and often refers to a group of men or mankind in general.

The question then that we need to ask is this. What possible link is there to 666 and powerful unjust and unearned authorities who seek to control the lives of others? Obviously the number 666 doesn’t control anyone so we must look for the meaning behind this number. Since it is linked to the beast we must ask where this beast came from.  John says saw the beast “rise up out of the sea.”

Now water has ever been a symbol of the emotions so this symbolic language is telling us that the beast gains this great power through manipulating emotion.

All sales training tells us that people are rarely sold through reason, but instead one must appeal to their emotions to sell them.

So what do the emotions have to do with the sixes? For thousands of years the seat of the lower emotions have been identified with the solar plexus and the solar plexus is governed by the number six. The higher emotions of spiritual love have been identified with the heart but these lower emotions, which fear outer authority, are a part of ourselves that can be controlled and manipulated.

The three sixes thus represent three areas of life that are controlled by the beast through great authority manipulating the emotions.

*            Control over the physical (the first 6)

*            Control over the emotional (the second 6)

*            Control over the mental by negation (the third 6)

Through manipulating our feelings the powerful authorities of the world seek to replace the voice of the inner spirit with their own and control our actions, our feelings and our thought process.

The encouraging thing is the very next verse tells us how to escape the mark of the beast and the 666. It tells us that the redeemed who have escaped the mark have the “Father’s name written in their foreheads.” Rev 14:1

In other words, correct thinking from God is in the forehead, or the thinking processes of those who escape the mark of the beast is in harmony with Spirit. To escape the mark we must not allow others to control us through emotions but must think for ourselves and maintain a link with divine spiritual thought so we can break free of unjust control over our lives.  Then we can truly comprehend the great words of Jesus:

“You shall know the truth and the truth will set you free.”

What Is The Mark of The Beast?

Joseph Dewey
This entry is part 29 of 57 in the series Mysteries

Question Thirty

What Is The Mark of The Beast?

The mark of the beast has also been a subject of much discussion and speculation over the millennia.  Here is the scripture behind it all:

“And he (the beast) causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.” Rev 13:16-17

First, let us itemize some of the popular interpretations of the mark.

(1) The Barcode. From the beginning of its use in grocery stores this has been accused of being the mark of the beast.  Believers say that the number 666 is embedded in every barcode. Others claim this is a misreading but this has not deterred believers from warning us that we will soon be required to receive a barcode on our right hands or foreheads.

(2) A Computer Chip.  The idea here is that a beastly dictator will cause us to receive a computer chip implanted in the right hand or forehead and unless this is scanned in at the point of purchase no one can buy or sell anything.

(3) A tattoo of some kind, maybe a Social Security number.

(4) Recognizing Sunday as the Sabbath instead of Saturday.

These are perhaps the most popular ideas heading up an almost endless list of guesses.

But according to the scripture all of these guesses are not correct.

Why?

Again, it is written, “And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark…”

The word “causeth” comes from the Greek POIEO which is written in the present tense. Also the word “all” comes from PAS which can be translated as “all” or it can refer to a selection of people. If we translate the verse mare accurately it reads, “And he is causing certain people, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark…”

In other words, when the scripture was written 2000 years ago the beast was then, at that time, causing people to receive the mark.

We know that “all” was not the correct translation because all did not receive the mark. 144,000 redeemed, mentioned in Rev 14:1 received the Father’s name in their foreheads rather than the mark. Then in Rev 20:4 we are told of those “which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands.”

Taking this into consideration we must conclude that both the beast and the mark were alive and well 2000 years ago, before computer chips, before the barcode, before Social Security and before the day of rest was changed to Sunday.

So, what then is the mark which the masses have been receiving all through history?

To understand the mark we must understand the symbolic meaning behind the forehead and the right hand.  It should be obvious that this is not likely to literally happen.  For instance, the closest thing we have seen to the predicted antichrist was Hitler and he did place a mark on the arms of the Jews, but instead of choosing the right hand he placed the mark on their left arm.  Why? He probably knew of the prophecy and didn’t want to be identified with the antichrist. He therefore chose the left arm rather than the right.

Any future bad guy who wants to mark his people is also likely to not place a mark on the forehead or right arm to avoid being accused of being in cahoots with the beast.

On the other hand, when we look at the symbolic meaning everything makes sense and we can see that the mark has been here with us all along.

The forehead symbolizes thought and the right hand a person’s labor. He who receives the mark of the beast in his forehead will think as the beast tells him to think.  He will not question an outward authority that he has given greater allegiance to than the inner voice of the Spirit.

He who receives the mark on the right hand will do what he is told to do by the beast.  He will obey without question. He will obey his prophet, priest or king without question. He will follow doctor’s orders without question. He will submit to political leaders without question and believe his teachers without question.

Many there are who see themselves as independent thinkers and doers who are not independent at all but are merely like a beast herded about in the direction some leader is pushing them.  Many realize that if they do give authorities a problem that they will lose their job or source of income and may not be able to buy or sell because their source of income will be gone.

Fortunately, there are a small number of people who do not believe something just because an authoritative person demands it.  A handful does escape the mark and will listen to the inner voice of the Spirit above the outer voice of established authorities.

A clue as to whether one has the mark of the beast lies in this question.

If you won a lottery and the authority who you most admired asks you for some of the money, would you give it without question, or checking with your inner self, or even checking into how the money is to be spent?  If you were to give the money just because you trust your leader and not check with your inner core then you are in danger of having the mark of the beast and being led about like a beast is led by his master, never questioning but just going in the direction of the herd.

What is the Beast?

Joseph Dewey
This entry is part 28 of 57 in the series Mysteries

Question Twenty-Nine

What Is the Beast?

For thousands of years believers have been asking this question and coming up wit all kinds of answers.  Many books have been written on this subject alone.  I have also written quite a bit on it myself, but since I want to keep these chapters short I’ll just cover the subject briefly and refer readers who want to know more to my other writings.

So, what are the common ideas on what the Beast is?  Here are a few.

(1) A dictator worse than Hitler that shall arise and control the world.

(2) An evil one-world government headed up by the European Union, or some other country.

(3) The Internet.

(4) Some evil business group

(5) The Muslims, Mormons, Catholics, Jews or even a new age religion.

(6) International bankers

There is one giant clue given in the Bible that eliminates all of these guesses.  Most are aware that the Beast is an antichrist, often called the antichrist.

“And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.” I John 4:3

“…even now are there many antichrists.” I John 2:18

So the antichrist, or the Beast was already in the world 2000 years ago. Could it have been here even longer?  Perhaps so, for here is what we are told of the system ruled by the Beast:

“And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of ALL that were slain upon the earth.” Rev 18:24

So all the prophets and saints who lived even thousands of years before Jesus were slain by the beast.  What in the world could this beast be that has always been here fighting against the saints and taking away lives and freedom?

Paul gives us a clue in a famous scripture usually linked to the antichrist:

We are told he “opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.” II Thess 2:4

Most Christians suppose the temple here will be a building but there is another interpretation given by Paul:

“Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.” I Cor 3:16-17

So then the temple of God can be the physical body. Keeping this in mind the antichrist or beast could be just a human in a physical body representing himself as speaking for God.  In other words, this guy’s words are to be seen as God’s words.

That said, I will now summarize what the beast is and you will see that he has indeed been here on earth for thousands of years. This will make even more sense after we cover the mark of the beast and the mysterious number 666.

The beast represents a man or woman, any human being, who replaces the voice and authority of God with his own.  In other words, it is a false outer god that replaces that inner voice which is within.  After all, Jesus said,  “the kingdom of God is within you.” Luke 17:21

If the Kingdom of God is within us then so is God, or the Spirit of God. We are supposed to look within for verification of knowledge, but when a person comes along and demands we follow his words blindly without understanding then he has replaced the true God, setting himself up as a false god.

The beast represents unearned authority throughout the world and there are thousands of people who are agents of this false authority. Many of them work through various religions and cults but the beast is not limited to spiritual matters.  Unearned and unjust outer authority that tells us what to think is found in all departments of life.  We find them in politics, education, science, medicine, the arts, many businesses and organizations.  When a member challenges this beastly authority he is attacked and ostracized from the system.

These powerful unjust authorities that take the place of the inner voice were here in the days of Jesus and from the beginning of civilized society. Just about all of us have the mark of the beast now, as we shall see.

Keys Writings 2013, Part 23

Joseph Dewey

The Word Which is God

Continued from Part 22

The group has made some great comments, but has missed an aspect that is necessary for a full understanding of this key.

Many seem to think that the use of the word which is God requires soul contact, attunement with the will of God, or being a high disciple.  Such is not the case.

Contemplate what has been presented so far and tell us which Word or Words the following manifested:

Edison

Hitler

Reagan

Obama

Osama Bin Laden

Jesus

Dec 15, 2013

More on the Word

The group seems to be getting the correct general idea on the Word as represented by this key.  I gave this last assignment to insure that it is realized that all words have power whether they are positive or negative or no matter who they came from.

The assignment:

Contemplate what has been presented so far and tell us which Word or Words the following manifested:

Edison

Hitler

Reagan

Obama

Osama Bin Laden

Jesus

In the context of our discussion it is easy to accept that Edison’s idea of creating a lightbulb is a word that was brought into manifestation through Edison Groking the idea.  But what about someone like Hitler?

One of his words was the creation of the Nazi party as a platform of power to place him into power over the entire country.  This he did successfully to the detriment of the world at that time.

Another of his ideas which was a word was the annihilation of the Jewish race from the face of the earth. He gave this word an unprecedented amount of nurturing, but the Word for the Jewish race wound up dominating.

Reagan nurtured a word that split apart the Soviet Union.

Obama is sounding a word that is designed to socialize the United states with Obamacare being just one ingredient. Fortunately, other words are being sounded in opposition.

Osama Bin Laden sounded a word that that created the threat or terror in the minds of Americans.

Jesus sounded many words successfully.  One of his was, “your faith has made you whole.”

One advantage of sounding this word is that there are few opposing words to people getting healed, though he did face them in his home town and among the Jewish leaders.

The greatest word Jesus or the Christ gave us was his life as a whole. This word is still clothing itself in manifestation.

Here are points that need to be understood.

(1) Words are Gods and have great power to manifest

(2) Words are neither good or evil. Whether they accomplish good or evil depends on how they are directed by those who nurture them into existence.

(3) Those who nurture them into existence can be either on the side of light or dark.

(4) To bring a word into existence requires one to totally accept, embrace and grok it.

(5) Many words have difficulty in coming into existence because they meet with competition and resistance from other words that are sounded with power.  In this case the Word that sounds with the most power will dominate.

Someone asked if a Word played a part in its own manifestation.  The answer is yes.  You are a Word and two things played a role in you manifesting and developing.

The first is other lives who nurtured you and the second is the application of your own intelligence.

Intelligence permeates all things visible and invisible and even words have some form of intelligence. They must be nurtured by manifested lives such as ourselves to stimulate their power to Become through intelligence.

The three steps in giving the Word power to manifest is to accept, embrace and merge, or grok it. This seems like a pretty simple process  but if it were easy we would all be successful at manifesting our ideas.

Question:  Why do people have such difficulty with these three steps? Is it really difficult to accept, embrace and grok something you love and desire?  Why?

Dec 16, 2013

The three steps in giving the Word power to manifest are to accept, embrace and merge, or grok it. This seems like a pretty simple process but if it were easy we would all be successful at manifesting our ideas.

Question:  Why do people have such difficulty with these three steps? Is it really difficult to accept, embrace and grok something you love and desire?  Why?

We cannot apply the three steps to manifest a word until we understand what a word is. I have said that a word is more than the thousands of units spelled out in the dictionary.  A true word is an idea that has the possibility of being distilled in the material world.

It is also important to realize what a word is not.  A useful word is not some vague statement of desire, such as, “I want to make a million dollars,” or I want a better job or the ideal mate etc. The only word vague statements like these represent is an expression that you have desire for a thing. If you say that you want a million dollars you are making the word a reality as you speak because you do indeed want a million dollars.  Now actually getting the million dollars would require a word of a different sort.

A usable word is a definite idea or thought that is correctly communicated to yourself or others. Edison had a specific idea for a light bulb.  He first communicated it to himself so he could understand clearly what he was attempting to manifest.  Then he communicated the word to his fellow scientists who were working with him.  They then proceeded to manifest a Word, which is God. If Edison hadn’t done it, someone else would have.  The Word existed in the higher spheres and was ready to manifest.  Someone merely had to sound it properly and clothe it in the material world.

Let us suppose you were serious about making a million dollars.  You not only desire to make the money but have made a definite decision to do so.  What word would you use?

The answer is that it would have to be a word, that when acted upon would produce the desired results. In other words, the word you need would be an actual workable plan that would produce the money you desire. Now if your plan is to sell refrigerators to Eskimos then you will be disappointed. Such a word does not exist in the ethers.  On the other hand, if you have created a new sauce that everyone loves and have a plan to market it then you may have a good word. You can recognize an actual word through a registration by your soul.

If you say that you want to be healed you are merely expressing the desire of every ill person in the world who is not getting good results.

On the other hand, if you can see your body as healed and  then your physical body moving toward that visualization you may have just pulled a word out of the ethers that has power to materialize.

Once you lock on to a real word, which is God then you can proceed with the three steps.

Ruth:

How does this pan out for all the hundreds of people that buy a lottery ticket and then suddenly win millions of dollars?  Do these people know the Word,or is this just karma?

JJ

Winning a lottery has nothing to do with sounding the word. Winning it is just pure luck.  What the winner does with his winnings will definitely affect his karma for the future.

All of us experience unpredictable good and bad events as we move forward in life. How we are sounding our various words will determine whether those events turn into good or bad experiences.  Many lottery winners mess up their lives so much they wind up wishing they had never won.

Ruth:

When you know so much about this Word, and understand it so well,  then how come you have not manifested millions of dollars to build Zion etc?

JJ

Because sounding a word to manifest millions is a totally different animal than the Word to manifest Zion.  The Word for Zion has been sounded by teachers and prophets for thousands of years including the Christ himself, and has not yet manifested.  It has not yet manifested because of all the words in conflict, many of which are sounded by the Beast. must be neutralized by the continual sounding and strengthening of the sound of the Kingdom of God upon the earth.

The main word I sound is that of Zion.  It’s existence in the higher spheres is real and its  descent is certain as long as disciples continue to sound the word.  The only thing in question is the time frame. Sounding a word to make a million would only reduce the sustaining power I give to a far more important Word.

Dec 17, 2013

Step One

Once you lock on to a real word, which is God then you can proceed with the three steps.

 

Step One – Accept

One might think that it would be easy to accept a word, such as a desirable idea passing trough your mind, but such is rarely the case. Let us take the example of a successful word used by Jesus which was “Your faith has made you whole.” If you had a friend who has had a painful illness over a period of years and nothing he has tried has done much good then how would he react to such a word?  Would he accept it?  If you were to tell him that that his faith has made him whole he would most likely respond, “Yeah, right, and what else is new?”

 

In other words, the person who will benefit the most from the word and actually desires it to be true does not accept the word.

 

The same problem manifests with those who are wielding the word. They often have difficulty accepting it. Which of us could accept this word that Jesus used and go to a sick friend and say, “Your faith has made you whole?”

 

Most of us would like the word to be true but just couldn’t accept it. A typical response would be something like this, “If I did that I would just make a fool of myself.  After all, I am nothing special.  I’m not God, or even a saint by any means.”

 

Thus we have many wonderful words out there that most people would love to see manifest, but they do not manifest.  Why?  One important reason is they are just not accepted.

 

Where both sending and receiving are involved the word must be accepted by both parties.

 

Jesus did his part in that he accepted the words he used.  His problem was in getting other people to accept them. The scripture says that he could perform no miracles in his hometown.  Why?  Because these people could not accept his words which is often the case with our family and friends. It is much easier to accept the words of some mysterious stranger from afar.

 

Jesus had to build acceptance of his words by first carefully picking believing people to heal.  When others saw what he did then their power to accept his words grew. Then as he gained success even many skeptics were won over who then accepted the words of Jesus.

 

As the acceptance of his words grew he spoke this truth:

“The words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.” John 6:63

 

To those who did not accept him he said, “my word hath no place in you…ye cannot hear my word.” John 8:37&43

 

Then he added:

“He that is of God heareth God’s words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.” John 8:47

 

Why did he call them God’s words?  Partially because the Word is God. Did he not say, “he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came.” John 10:35

 

Then he gave this grand key, “If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.” John 15:7

 

The power of an accepted word is so potent that when fully accepted you can ask what you will and it shall be done.

 

Unfortunately, we have difficulty in fully accepting the most wonderful of words.  The seeker is likely to have a number of feelings and beliefs which get in the way such as.

 

(1) He is not worthy

(2) He is governed by negative words that are controlling him .

(3) Friends and associates influence him with their own restrictive words.

(4) He thinks he is not special as others seem to be.

 

Yes, it would seem that it should be easier to accept healing words than words that bring illness, words that encourage rather than discourage, words of love rather than hate – but such is often not the case. For many, it is easier to accept destructive words than building ones.  This is an inclination of human nature that the seeker must master and redirect.

Dec 18, 2013

Step Two – Embrace

Acceptance of the power of a word is an important step and opens the door for great events to happen. These range from significant accomplishments to the miraculous. However, acceptance alone is not enough to activate the full power of the word.

Look at it this way. The three key words are linked to the three planes. Acceptance to the physical, Embrace to the emotional and to Merge or Grok to the mental.

Let us again examine the famous word of Jesus, “Your faith has made you whole.” Let us say you lived back then and watched him perform a couple miracles. You decide that just maybe this guy can help you get well and you “accept” the possibility that whatever he speaks to you will actually happen.

You wait in line for your turn. Five people are ahead of you and you watch their interaction with Jesus. The first guy seems to experience a miraculous healing. He second guy seems improved, but not changed that much. The same was the case for the third guy. Then the fourth guy fell to his knees in tears and said, “I know God is with you and that your word can heal, but not sure if I am worthy. My sins weigh heavily upon me. Can you help a man like me?”

Jesus grabbed the man’s hand, lifted him up and looked into his eyes, piercing deep into his soul. The man felt his emotions touched by the master and tears again flowed but stronger this time. The Jesus spoke, “God forgives your sins and you will repay by giving glory to God and his work through me. Do you believe an innocent son of God like yourself is worthy to be healed?”

“Oh, Master, I wish I could be sure that I am innocent.”

“Do you believe the words I speak?” Jesus replied.

“Yes,” said the man. “I have never heard such words before.”

Jesus then grabbed the man by both shoulders and continued looking into his eyes while saying, “Your sins are forgiven you and your faith has made you whole.”

You are watching with interest and see the man is visibly affected and falls to the feet of Jesus weeping and kissing his feet. Jesus pulls the man up and says, “Go your way, sin no more and remember to give glory to God with whom all things are possible.”

The man leaves and the fifth man seems positively affected by the healing he just witnessed. As you watch Jesus heal this person you contemplate the situation. Jesus healed the first person but then didn’t have much results with the next two and the mood seem to dampen. But then this last guy really seemed to turn things around. It just seemed now that everyone in line was bound to be healed. What was different about the fourth guy from the two that preceded him? They all seemed to accept the words of Jesus.

You think about it a moment and you realize that the fourth guy not only accepted the Master’s words, but embraced them. He embraced them to the extent that his emotional self was highly stimulated. It was as if an electrical charge of emotional energy was pouring through his being from head to foot.

Then you realize that if you want to be healed you must embrace the words of Jesus to the extent that your emotions are likewise stimulated.

It is now your turn. Jesus looks at you eye to eye and your heart begins to burn with a spiritual fire. “Yes,” you think to yourself, “I can truly embrace the words of this man.”

Jesus then spoke, and the words seemed alive with power, as if they were living things becoming a part of your very existence.

Yes, for the word to have the power of God our emotional selves must embrace it. When it is embraced a number of things may happen.

(1) Belief and faith is increased dramatically.

(2) There will be a powerful sense of purpose about manifesting the Word.

(3) Determination to fulfill the word will be strong and enduring.

(4) Other people will be positively affected by you.

Indeed, if all involved accept and embrace the Word, which is God, they are at the threshold of manifestation. Just one thing remains to ensure the Word endures.

So this also works for those people who are more “mentally” focused and who have control over their emotional bodies more than the average person?

JJ

Everyone has emotions whether they are mentally polarized or have great self-control.  Now some mentally polarized people have more difficulty I allowing their emotions to embrace an idea to the extent that a point of tension is reached. But to achieve the miracle of manifestation a person must emotionally embrace the idea behind the word he seeks to manifest.

That doesn’t necessarily mean he will weep at the feet of Jesus, as in my example, but the word must be clothed in strong emotional energy to manifest.

Those who have advanced mentally will have an advantage in sustaining the manifestation as you shall see in the next installment.

Step Three – To Merge or Grok

Indeed, if all involved accept and embrace the Word, which is God, they are at the threshold of manifestation. Just one thing remains to ensure the Word endures.

Many of us have seen faith healers in the media or in person that seem to perform miraculous healings. A popular one I used to watch, now and then, back in the Sixties was Oral Roberts, a famous faith healer in that day.

When the cameras panned the audience you could see that the faithful followers had accepted Roberts as a spokesman for God and that whatever words he spoke were the same as if God were standing there speaking them. Those who had an affliction and came up on stage seemed to be the most affected. Not only did they accept his words as the word of God, but they strongly embraced them emotionally.

Here is how a typical healing would go.  The person would come on stage and Roberts would approach him or her with a couple assistants. After saying a couple words about the power of God and Jesus he would smack the person’s forehead and loudly shout “HEAL!!!” Often the person would be so involved he would pass out and the assistants would have to catch him. After getting possession of himself the subject would often spring around stage gleefully announcing how great he felt and that he was indeed healed.

Now, it is quite possible there was some fraud involved, but I’m sure there were also some actual healings, though many of them were just temporary.

At that time I had a neighbor who was a big believer in Oral Roberts and sent him all the money he could afford each month. Then he finally made a trip to Oklahoma to see him for himself. After he came back he never spoke positively of Roberts again and ceased sending him money. Some say he discovered some fraud or that the healings were just temporary. The excitement of receiving the Word from what was thought to be a true servant had a big temporary impact, but seemed to wear off.

The Word is indeed powerful, even if it comes from the Beast of authority, but there is one final step that must be taken or it’s power will only be of a temporary nature.

To wield the full power of the Word the seeker must feed upon the Word and merge with it, or grok it, until it becomes a part of him. Your brain and emotions will take you to the point of tension so you can feel its power but it takes the mind in contemplation to understand the Word and incorporate it into one’s being so the seeker and the Word are one.

This process of merging and becoming one with the Word takes the seeker away from the Beast of authority so he sees the Word as a power independent of any person on the earth. The final resting place of the word is in his own mind and heart, not in a preacher, prophet or king.

The story of a temporary healing is mentioned in the New Testament:

And Jesus, all alone, went to the feast by the Samaria way; and as he went through Sychar on the way, the lepers saw him and a company of ten called from afar and said, Lord Jesus, stay and speak the Word for us that we may be made clean.

And Jesus said, Go forth and show yourselves unto the priests.

They went, and as they went their leprosy was healed. One of the ten, a native of Samaria, returned to thank the master and to praise the Lord.

And Jesus said to him, Lo, ten were cleansed; where are the nine? Arise, and go your way; your faith has made you whole. You have revealed your heart and shown that you are worthy of the power; behold the nine will find again their leprous hands and feet.

Aquarian Gospel 133:17-22 Also see Luke 17:11-19

The nine thought that all they had to do was to accept and embrace the Word and then go their merry way.  The tenth realized that he needed to keep the Word alive within himself and returned to show appreciation and receive more. This act kept energy flowing to and from the Word within.

To accept a Word of Power opens the door.  To embrace it reveals it’s power, but to merge with it sustains its life and power.

Tom:

The word is merge…JJ can you give some other examples of merging with the word like when the leper went back to Jesus to give thanks…so that we may better understand how to merge to make it permanent healing.

JJ

The merging isn’t something that is always visible or obvious.  Two people may be healed and one may have the problem return while the other does not.  An observer may not see any difference in the two because he cannot understand all that is going on in their hearts and minds.

He who has a sustained healing will keep the intent of the word in his heart and mind.  The healing of the apostle Paul was a good example.  After he was converted he was healed from blindness.  After the healing he kept the power of the word close to his heart as well as acting on the highest he knew to the best of his ability. Positive actions demonstrates to your soul that you are one with the word which gave you power of action.

Tom:

Is the word like a powerful prayer and ritual in one like I suspected and How did the little girl hear the word when she was dead when Jesus raised her and how did the soldiers servant hear the word when he was miles away and was healed.

JJ

The Word is not a ritual or prayer but can be activated by them.

If the person is in the presence of the healer he or she must accept the word consciously.  On occasions where he was not physically present Jesus spoke to the person’s soul where the positive words of God are already planted and ready to be activated.  It takes a high initiate or a healer with help from the other side to heal people who do not physically hear the word.

Looks like building floating cities is getting more traction.

Initiation

Tom gave me a list of accomplishments and asked me if he was an initiate. It wouldn’t be wise for me to start pointing out who in the group would be an initiate and who was not as this could lead to division and hurt feelings. I have and will continue to attempt to try and clarify what it takes to be an initiate.  Then the seeker can judge for himself where he may be and the hopefully see the path before him with accuracy.

The first step on the path is that of the probationary disciple. This is the person who has concluded that there is a path to knowledge, salvation, service etc and makes some sort of effort to tread it.

He treads this path until he becomes a first degree initiate. Here are some of the things that goes into making an initiate of the first degree.

(1) The birth of the Christ in the heart.  This is the core requirement for this step.  So what does this entail and how is this person different from the guy who believes in Jesus and attends church?

Unlike many religious people this person has had a spiritual experience caused by sufficient soul contact that he understands that the God within and the spiritual world are real and not just a belief. He knows there is guidance and contact beyond the physical and there is a living fire within him that he must nourish.  He has faith that this inner life will lead him to some desired end, but knows not for sure what that end will be. He decides to follow this Christ within to the best of his ability.

(2) Physical control. He has control of his sexual and physical appetites.  If he is under some belief system that requires sexual purity he will have the control to be able to abide by it. If he is not under such a system he will formulate one of his own and abide by that.

He has power to abide by his belief system on what is good to or bad to take into his body. If he decides to go on a diet he can abide by that diet.  If he decides to be a vegetarian he can be one. If his religion says he isn’t supposed to eat or drink certain things he has the control to abide by it. If he decides to fast for a week without food then he can do this. If he decides on an exercise program, he can abide by it.

In other words, he has reasonable physical and sexual self control.

(3) He has a desire to initiate that which is new and good and will make some progress in this direction.  Here are some things we may see a first degree initiate do.

• Start a business or assist in starting one.

• Use the creative mind to invent, write about ideas or produce original art.

• Assist in some way to move into the public consciousness or use some new idea, concept or movement.

The Second Degree Initiate

The symbol of this initiation is baptism, of which the baptism of Jesus was the perfect example.

Let us examine what happened at this event.

Jesus, the man, entered into the rite of baptism, which was a symbol of being born again by the washing away of all sin and guilt. Coming up out of the water the initiate leaves behind the old life of being surrounded and controlled by emotion (water being the symbol of emotion). He comes up into the air (symbol of mind) and now surrounds himself with reason and is dominated by mental energy.

After coming up out of the water the dove representing he Spirit of God alights on and comes into Jesus and settles there.

Eve so, the second degree initiate has an experience where he feels what is called the “baptism of fire.” This is a short taste of what the overshadowing experience of Jesus was like but it will be enough to motivate initiates for the rest of their lives because they now know that a glorious and greater spiritual life awaits the true servants of humanity.

The second degree initiate obtains the keys to free himself from guilt and this is his true salvation in the kingdom of God, for guilt must be conquered before true joy can be obtained and retained.

Before the initiate completes this initiation he must obtain control of the emotions. The first degree person demonstrates control over the physical impulses and the second, the emotions.  Of the two the emotional body is much more difficult to control than the physical.

This is signified by the fact that the baptism of Jesus took place 30 years after his birth.  The long thirty years is a symbol of the long road the seeker has to tread before emotional control is mastered.

Here are signs that the emotional body is under control.

(1) The initiate will be relatively free from glamours.  Glamours can manifest hundreds of different ways and with many subtleties, including the glamour of having no glamour when still dominated by glamour.

Some common glamours that must be mastered are:

(a) Inflated self-importance.

(b) Inflated estimate of his place on the path.

(c) The glamour that the initiate is humble when he still has to master a lot of ego.

(d) The glamour of the messiah complex.

(e) The glamour that the person is special or unique in various different illusionary ways

(2) It is almost impossible to hurt his feelings. You can insult him all you want and he will hold no grievance.  If the situation requires him to smile and be friendly in the face of terrible insults he will have no problem doing so. Any response from the emotional level will be the result of a decision made on a metal level.

(3) He can show forgiveness and friendship instantly when a wayward brother tries to turn around and befriend him.

(4) He doesn’t get depressed or feel defeated.  He continues moving forward in season and out of season, even if it seems dark on the horizon.

(5) He focuses on the positive things from the past, instead of the negative.  He is cheerful in the present and optimistic of the future.

The second degree initiate will have greater power to initiate change than the first.  He is more likely to start, or work with starting something, that will have appeal beyond his local boundaries. Many (but far from all) who have obtained a degree of fame are second degree initiates.

Ruth:

Well I must be no initiate in this lifetime then.

JJ

Keep in mind that we are talking about the second initiation.  If you do not feel you fit there that does not mean you are not an initiate of the first degree.

Ruth:

What happens in the case where a dark cloud of negativity and depression is forced upon an initiate and directed by Dark Forces?  What happens in the case of the Dark Night of the Soul?

JJ

Depression cannot be forced upon the initiate. The Dark Brothers can send dark energy his way in an attempt to make him depressed or discouraged. The second degree initiate will feel the attack and register it but will not get discouraged and continue onward no matter what obstacles seem to get in the way.

Ruth:

Does a 2nd or 3rd degree initiate suffer from these two instances?

JJ

The Dark Brothers attack the second and third degree initiates with a different approach.  They still feel they have a chance to discourage or at least slow down the second degree by a direct attack.  This doesn’t work well for the third degree initiate so they attack those close to him in an attempt to stop him.

They do not attack the second degree initiates that much unless they become key players in moving the light forward or are approaching their next initiation. Most of what seems to be attacks by them are from their own thoughtforms.

Ruth:

Did you show forgiveness and friendship instantly to a wayward brother such as Hitler?  Or does this fall into another category?

JJ

A dark brother such as Hitler never tries to turn around but will continue on his downward spiral so this will never be a concern.

Anyone who sincerely attempts to turn his life around should be nurtured to the best of our ability no matter how much they offended us in the past. And the initiate should not hold a grievance, even toward a Hitler, as it only hinders his own progress

Ruth

Was Judas only a 1st degree initiate?

JJ

Could have been.  We do not have enough information on him to tell.

Ruth

If the molecule is made up of 1st, 2nd and/or 3rd degree initiates, then how do they stay totally in soul if many 1st degree and 2nd degree initiates have lots of glamour or illusions etc which might upset the molecule?

JJ

The molecule Jesus created did not always stay in the soul and neither will the first attempts of creation in our age.  It is up to the initiate of the molecule to stay in the soul and keep the molecule in the soul.  This will be difficult at first but when stabilization is finally achieved a thought form of a stable molecule will be created which will help to make stabilization of future molecules much easier.

It would be desirable to create the first molecules of third degree initiates or higher, but theses are difficult to find and gather as they are often involved in their own work and focusing on it.

Ruth:

So does that make the next molecules which are formed one day on Earth to become new Solar Angels to other humans in the next few billion years in a new Universe?

JJ

The molecules do not become solar angels but the individuals in the molecule will, though their molecular links will continue. They will become solar angels in this universe which still has a long way to go.  When a new universe is created we start over but from a different starting point.

Are the Bible Teachings Right or Wrong About Gays?

Joseph Dewey
This entry is part 27 of 57 in the series Mysteries

Question Twenty-Eight

Are the Bible Teachings Right or Wrong About Gays?

The first order of business here is to clarify exactly what the teachings of the Bible are about gays. A lot of people including some gays I have encountered actually think the Bible doesn’t actually condemn homosexual relationships, that such things are just a dogmatic misinterpretation.

Actually, there is not much to interpret here for the Bible makes itself pretty clear.

Here was the law spelled out in the Old Testament:

“If a man lies with a male as he lies with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination. They shall surely be put to death. Their blood shall be upon them.”  Leviticus 20:13 NKJ

That is pretty clear. Not only was homosexuality against the law, but it was seen to be deserving of the most extreme of punishments – death.

How about the New Testament written after the time of Jesus? Is it equally harsh?

It doesn’t recommend the death penalty but still condemns the act.

“Don’t you realize that those who do wrong will not inherit the Kingdom of God? Don’t fool yourselves. Those who indulge in sexual sin, or who worship idols, or commit adultery, or are male prostitutes, or practice homosexuality, or are thieves, or greedy people, or drunkards, or are abusive, or cheat people—none of these will inherit the Kingdom of God.

“Some of you were once like that. But you were cleansed; you were made holy; you were made right with God by calling on the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.” I Cor 6:9-11 NLT

Obviously Paul did not support the death penalty here for he said of his followers that, “Some of you were once like that.” In other words, some of his fellow  Christians were converted homosexuals and were now accepted as long as they lived up to expectations.

Apparently, there was a softening in the view toward homosexuals.  It was still harsh by today’s standards but lenient by Old Testament commands.

Why the change?

Many explanations have been given but the basic one is that Christ brought a new focus on the spirit of the law rather than the letter. The author of Hebrews gives an interesting take:

If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the law,) what further need was there that another priest should rise after the order of Melchisedec, and not be called after the order of Aaron? For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law.” Heb 7:11-12

So, according to this the coming of Christ brought a new priesthood that changed the old black and white laws of Moses. An upgrade in the law seems to have taken away with the death penalty for many minor infractions in the Law of Moses, but the New Testament writers still condemn homosexuality.

All this brings about several items of thought. Let us first consider the Draconian approach of the Old Testament. What is the explanation for them? Here are several popular ones.

(1) God hates the sin of homosexuality and wants them put to death so they will not contaminate the people.

(2) God loves all people, including homosexuals, but because Israel worshipped the golden calf when Moses was on Mount Sinai, God dealt with them harshly to teach them a lesson of strict obedience. This included drastic measures that do not apply to us today. This is kind of like a parent disciplining his kid for disobedience telling him that he cannot play on his computer, but in normal times playing on the computer is fine.

(3) Even though the Bible was inspired parts like this just came from the minds of men to deal with the attitudes of the time.

(4) The whole Bible was conjured up by the minds of men and this proves it.

Now how about the New Testament?  Even though it is not so harsh, it still condemns homosexuality with a firmness with which many disagree.  What is the explanation? Here are some opinions.

(1) God condemned homosexuality in the Old Testament as well as the New and is still against it today and always will be.  It is a sin, plain and simple.

(2) Just as punishments on it softened after Jesus, even so today we are justified in taking a new look at how to treat gays.

(3) Both the Old and New Testament teachings on the subject are outrageous and out of date and need to be ignored.

That said, the question now is what is the real truth of the matter here?

Since we have concluded that sin is really error we must ask where the error is in homosexuality if we are to call it a sin?

First, is it a sin to be born with homosexual tendencies?

Some see this in itself as a sin but all of us have natural tastes and tendencies toward all kinds of things good and bad as we go through life.  It is not our natural desires that corrupt us but the misuse of them.  All of us like food but too much of it can lead to an early grave.

So, are sexual relations between homosexuals an error then?

Since society reasons that there are a number of sexual practices that are wrong for heterosexuals then obviously homosexuals can also misuse their sexual energies.

Instead of decreeing what is right or wrong with various sexual behaviors, I’ll just give several guidelines so the reader can judge for himself.

Guideline one: Does my behavior create harm, or cause myself or  others injury or hurt?

For example, we can all agree that adultery causes a lot of hurt to the spouse, kids and maybe others.

Guideline two: Do my actions disturb my inner sense of peace?

Deep within the core of our being is a sense of whether or not our actions are taking us the right direction.  We sometimes cover them up because of our own corrupt desires.  For instance, the drug addict ceases to reflect on his inner self and just thinks of what he wants at the moment.

Reflecting on that deep part of yourself that has a connection with God will always lead the seeker correctly.

“But,” says one, “All you have to do is read the Bible and do what it says.”

Answer:  The Bible is good to use for inspiration, but the seeker gets into trouble if he attempts to follow it too literally without balancing it off with inner guidance and good judgment. It certainly doesn’t feel right to the spirit within most of us that we should follow the Bible literally and put gays to death or even point them out and scorn them as sinners.

If there is a choice between inclusion of our brothers and sisters, or exclusion, it is best to error on the side of inclusion.

What’s With the Draconian Commandments in the Old Testament?

Joseph Dewey
This entry is part 26 of 57 in the series Mysteries

Question Twenty-Seven

What’s With the Draconian Commandments in the Old Testament?

Many critics justifiably question some of the draconian measures attributed to the God of the Bible.  These are mostly found in the Old Testament and if strictly followed it would make the Taliban look like the good guys.

Here are some of them.

• Gays caught in the act were to be put to death.

• Witches, fortune tellers, false prophets and anyone who blasphemes were to suffer the death penalty.

• Anyone who worked on the Sabbath was to be put to death.

• A woman who was found to not be a virgin on her wedding night was to be stoned to death.

• Adulterers were to be put to death.

• Unruly children were to suffer the death sentence.

• Those who did not accept the verdict of a judge or priest are included with those who suffer death.

• On top of this the Israelites were sometimes commanded to slay all the inhabitants of the cities they conquered. We’ve all heard the story of the Battle of Jericho. Here is just one quote of many available:

“When the people heard the sound of the horns, they shouted as loud as they could. Suddenly, the walls of Jericho collapsed, and the Israelites charged straight into the city from every side and captured it.  They completely destroyed everything in it – men and women, young and old, cattle, sheep, donkeys – everything.”  (Joshua 6:20-21 NLT)

Wow.  This sounds a lot different than the words of John from the New Testament, “He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.” I John 4:8

There are four ways that this huge difference in approach is explained.

(1) Atheists say that all the supernatural stuff in the Bible is just made up and this pretty much proves it.

(2) Others say that the God of the Old Testament couldn’t have been anything like Jesus and must have been a mean SOB.

(3) Some say that God is evolving and is just becoming a nicer guy as time goes forward.

(4) Many will cite this scripture.

“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.” Isa 55:8-9

The thinking of this group is this. Yes, it does sound that God was very harsh in those times, but we do not understand all his ways. What he did was really loving if we could just understand His will and higher ways of thinking.

It is true that those of lesser intelligence cannot always understand the ways of those of higher intelligence so there is some obvious truth to this scripture. Unfortunately, many claiming to speak for God have used this idea to convince followers to accept a lot of illusion, and sometimes harmful teachings.

So what is the real truth here? Here it is in a nutshell for your consideration.

Any inspiration or revelation that comes from God is filtered through the minds of fallible humans and then put into words. The end product is always adapted to the consciousness of the individual or group who is receiving at that time.  In addition to this many teachings and commands that are claimed to have been from God are merely from the minds of men and are in harmony with their thinking and desires at the time.

Therefore, the highest the minds of men reach toward the heart of God will depend on the consciousness of the people in the age in which he resides.

Now we may read some of the draconian measures the Israelites used and think that they were the meanest people on the planet, but we would be wrong.

Their strict rules and actions were actually a step or two above most of the other nations that surrounded them.

Other peoples conducted human sacrifice even resorting to using virgins, children and babies. Israel was forbidden such practices.

Outrageous measures to torture enemies and criminals were used by nations surrounding Israel.  When the Israelites did kill their enemies the act was done as clean and swiftly as possible but not so with many other peoples at that time. They often made their enemies suffer as much as possible by means of fire, skinning them alive, disemboweling them, gouging out eyes, cutting off body parts a piece at a time or pouring molten metal down their throats.

So, as draconian as the actions of ancient Israel was, they were the good guys in comparison to many of their neighbors.

When you clime a ladder you must take one step at a time.  We cannot expect an ancient people to have taken ten steps at once so they would suddenly be at the same state of civilization that we have achieved in the present.

Consider this, just a few centuries ago not only were there many black slaves but there were saves of all races and it was just accepted as a necessity to civilization.

We in the present have difficulty looking at actions of people in the past and understanding the difficulty in moving their consciousness forward.

Hundreds of years from now people will look back on us and have difficulty understanding why we do many ignorant things.  A book could be written as to what those things may be.

Conclusion:  It doesn’t matter how loving God is, He cannot snap His fingers and instantly pass this love on to us. The best of humanity will take the highest they understand from God and teach the rest of us, and then the rest of us always dumb the teaching down so our mindsets are not overly disturbed. In the end, we wind up not taking ten steps but one small one at a time.

Keys Writings 2013, Part 22

Joseph Dewey
This entry is part 24 of 25 in the series 2013

Dec 7, 2013

12th Key of Knowledge

Larry Writes: So is the name for the Third Key of Knowledge Right Perception or Eternal Words?

The name is  “Right Perception.”

Tom writes:

Maybe JJ, can give us hints or clues to future keys until the time comes when he revels one at the Gathering.

JJ

I don’t plan on that but now the Twelveth Key is out I can guide you to a better understanding of that.

Question: What is the name of this Key? If you listened to the audio you should be able to figure it out.

Remember what was said in one of the books.  If the essence of the keys were just given out few would understand or grasp the depth of their meaning.  I gave this one out but no one has given much evidence of understanding it.

 

Dec 8, 2013

Three Sets of Keys

The Name of the Twelfth Key is, “The Word is God.” Ruth mentioned it in passing and Dan specified it.

Dan asks:

Is WHY Martha believed primary to this effect? If she had believed just because she had seen him bend spoons (perform miracles) before (ie via beastly authority), as opposed to belief due to soul contact, would this still have generated the necessary power? In other words, does the source of/reason for the belief/faith matter? Or is it enough just to believe (regardless of reason)?

JJ

There is great power in the blending of male female energies of two individuals as demonstrated by Jesus and Martha.  However there is also great potency in the individual blending with a higher life through the soul.  In this case he would be the female (no matter what his or her sex) and the higher life would be male.

Questions:

What is a Word which is God?

Why is the Word called God?

 

Dec 8, 2013

The Word Which is God

Expand Messages Expand Messages

View Source

Let us concentrate on the first question.

What is the Word Which is God?

Dan told us what the Word does which is:

“That which initiates motion (a cause).”

No one has told us what the Word is even though I clearly stated it in the audio. This illustrates that just giving out the information is not enough.  There must be interplay to anchor the understanding of the Keys in the minds of the students.

Larry W writes:

All Words are God/Gods/God’s, because words are sounds/vibrations and all sounds/vibrations proceed from God’s decision to manifest.

JJ

Excellent answer Larry and your post as a whole was perhaps the finest you have made. We will return to some of those points later.

The answer is  that ALL words are Gods.

Question: What is the difference between a Word that is spoken or written and seems to produce no effect and those that do? Are some Words Gods and others not Gods?

Again, I ask.  What is the Word which is God?

 

Dec 9, 2013

Dan’s Question

Dan Writes:

Let me start over. My question was not specific to Martha/Jesus/Lazarus but more generally about whether the source of belief/faith is important to the generation of the male/female power.

I was under the impression that Martha’s belief that Jesus could resurrect Lazarus even after dead more than 3 days was what allowed him to raise Lazarus.

Even if, as you seem to indicate, and instead Jesus actually communed with a higher life, just for the moment lets assume Martha was the female to Jesus’ male. So, assuming this was the case, does the SOURCE of Martha’s belief matter?

Would it still have generated the power even if she had believed in Jesus due to beastly authority (however it may have come about)? Or ONLY if she believed on him due to communing with the God within (soul contact, etc)?

JJ

The power of belief is powerful whether it be the belief supporting a beastly authority or a belief inspired by soul contact and verified within.

I would suppose that Martha had such a strong belief because the works of Jesus were verified to her through soul contact, and Jesus sensed this, thus giving her belief more power.

On the other hand, faith healers who set themselves up as beastly authorities sometimes perform real miracles through the power of the belief of their followers who may not have soul contact.

Words are Gods and have great power for good or evil and may be used by a beastly authority or a master.

This brings us to Tom’s question:

is it ok or not to use God’s name in vain and other swear words…in the past awhile back you claim swear words do no harm.

JJ

Just because words are gods does not mean that they are all directed toward something desirable or good.

The Bible says that God created good and evil and words bring about good and evil in the world.

The work of the disciple is to use words and thought constructively.

 

Dec 9, 2013

The Key

The Question: What is the difference between a Word that is spoken or written and seems to produce no effect and those that do? Are some Words Gods and others not Gods?

The group has given some good insights and  comments but no one has answered the question to completeness.

You have said that all words are gods.  Yes, this is true, but what is the difference between a Word that is spoken or written that seems to produce no effect and those that do? Corruption, good and evil, male and female have nothing to do with the core answer.

Let us take the word “rock”.  It is what it is.  It is not corrupt or uncorrupt.  It is neither good or evil, though it can be used in either direction.

This word could be written on a piece of paper and buried in the ground.  In this situation the word is as if it does not exist. Words were written on the Dead Sea Scrolls and buried also and were as if they did not exist for 2000 years.

What calls the word into existence in this sphere of activity?

An example is the work of a computer programmer.  The good is the desired work the program will do. The evil “by-product” are the imperfections that drive users crazy.  However, the ed result after the release of numerous versions will be a relatively perfect or “good” creation.

No one has gotten it yet.  Larry has come the closest with the word “use.”

Hint.  Words can be gods not only to disciples, masters and seekers, but also to those who are totally ignorant and of low evolution.

Gospel of John

The writings of John were all originally penned in the Greek so it is not productive to translate them back into the Aramaic.  All scholars agree with this.  Here is a quote from the Catholic Encyclopedia.

The Fourth Gospel is written in Greek, and even a superficial study of it is sufficient to reveal many peculiarities, which give the narrative a distinctive character. Especially characteristic is the vocabulary and diction. His vocabulary is, it is true, less rich in peculiar expressions than that of Paul or of Luke: he uses in all about ninety words not found in any other hagiographer. More numerous are the expressions which are used more frequently by John than by the other sacred writers. Moreover, in comparison with the other books of the New Testament, the narrative of St. John contains a very considerable portion of those words and expressions which might be called the common vocabulary of the Four Evangelists.

What is even more distinctive than the vocabulary is the grammatical use of particles, pronouns, prepositions, verbs, etc., in the Gospel of St. John. It is also distinguished by many peculiarities of style, — asyndeta, reduplications, repetitions, etc. On the whole, the Evangelist reveals a close intimacy with the Hellenistic speech of the first century of our era. which receives at his hands in certain expressions a Hebrew turn. His literary style is deservedly lauded for its noble, natural, and not inartistic simplicity. He combines in harmonious fashion the rustic speech of the Synoptics with the urban phraseology of St. Paul.

http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/08438a.htm

So your argument that the Gospel of John was originally written in Aramaic is that the Gospel of Matthew may have been?  Does not compute.

It is possible that Matthew Mark and Luke may have been written in Aramaic, even though most scholars believe that even they were written in Greek.  There is no way to tell for sure.

But John’s writings are a different matter. He uses style, phrases and words peculiar to the Greek and the Gospel of John was written around the turn of the century when most church writers used the Greek.  They are about 99% sure that the original Gospel of John was written in the Greek.

The earliest known fragment of the gospels is one of John written just a few decades after the actual book was penned by John and guess what the language was?

Greek.

Back to the Key

Ruth came as close as anyone is probably going to get to the key word and that is one must “accept” the word to manifest its power.

Even here this word does not fully describe the process.  The word “embrace” brings us a little closer to the mark.  Even better is this.  The seeker must become one with the word to manifest the word.

Again, one of the best examples of how this works is the movie Rocky II. Rocky’s wife wanted him to give up boxing and in the midst of their tension she became ill and was in a coma. As he sat by her side he decided that if she lived and didn’t want him to fight that he would give up the quest and live a normal life.

Then she miraculously came out of her coma and as he started to explain his decision she grabbed him, firmly looked at him and told him there was one thing she wanted him to do. She wanted him to go back in the ring and win. When se said the word “win” I felt visibly affected as it was a very powerful scene and you could feel the potency of the effect on Rocky. He not only accepted the word, but embraced it and became one with it which gave him the power to manifest it in deed.

Now we know the standard definition of a word as found in the dictionary, but the meaning is much more far reaching as far as the Word is God is concerned.

Question:  What is the full meaning of the Word as it applies to this key?

We are talking about the  twelfth Key, The Word is God.  The Trinity of Key words are accept, embrace merge.

So far no one has found the two important words in Dave’s post here:

http://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/Keysters/conversations/messages/65954

Hint: How many words did God sound that created the Universe?

A word as understood by this key is much more than a single item in a dictionary.

 

Dec 11, 2013

More Hints

he group is missing the hint.

Ruth was the first to get the first part of the assignment correct.  The original sound that created all things was one word.

However, the group has missed the hint involved.  Let me give an additional huge hint.

If the first word was composed of many words, as we know them, then perhaps the words we are looking for in Dave’s post are not two ordinary dictionary words.

What are the two real words given in Dave’s post?

Excellent. The key words were The Declaration of Independence and The Gettysburg Address.

The point I was attempting to instil in students is that a word is much more than an item in a dictionary.  Even the whole of creation is a word.  Ther are many words that reside in creation between the universe itself and a dictionary word.

Question: What determines whether something is a word or not?

Name three additional key words that are not dictionary words. One of them should be organic.

 

Dec 11, 2013

To those who are frustrated at not getting the hints I say:

You’re doing fine. Just look at how dense my character was in the Immortal books.

The problem is twofold.

(1) It is easy to get the wrong idea from hints, even carefully worded ones.

(2) It is human nature to absorb the surface meaning of what we study and think that we have taken it all in.  In the case of these keys, they sound simple so when the basic knowledge is given out the student will assume he understands it.  After all, it appears that Decision and Judgment would be that deep to understand.

By going through the various keys point by point the seeker can discover many things below the surface.

If all of creation is just one word in the mind of God then yes, a sentence, a book or a planet can be a word.

Look in the mirror and tell me of an organic word you see.

From Eternal Words

Pg 73

“What is a word?”

It seemed to be a very simple question, but one that I found difficult to find words to answer. Finally I answered, “Well, a word is a thing spoken that identifies something.”

Elizabeth grabbed a dictionary, opened it and and added, “It says here that a word is a sound or combination of sounds that symbolizes and communicates a meaning.”

“Now we’re getting somewhere,” he said. “A word is a sound.” What is a sound?”

“Since I play the piano perhaps I can answer that,” said Elizabeth. “The notes on the pioano are sounds and each note has a different frequency or vibration.”

“So a word is a sound, which is, in turn, vibration,” I injected.

“And what does the vibration represent?” he asked.

“Whatever the meaning behind the word is, I suppose.”

“Pick a word,” he commanded.

“How about coin?”

“And when you speak the word coin, isn’t a certain combination of vibrations sent forth to reach the ears of others?”

“Yes.”

“And these vibrations represent an idea?”

“Agreed,” I said, trying to follow his thought.

And, in between the thought and the idea, what force acts as the bridge between the two?”

“I’m not sure.”

“Suppose you are reading a magazine and see a picture of a new car. The idea or concept of a car enters your mind. What has to happen within you before you will act and do what is necessary to get the car?”

“I suppose I would have to want the car enough to spend the money.”

“Very good,” he said. “In other words, you first have the idea of a thing in your mind, which is followed by want or desire, which in thrun is followed by the materialization of the physical object.”

“Makes sense,” I said.

“Now a word, you you generally understand the term, starts with an idea. It is followed with a desire to communicate, which is materialized into a vibration that symbolizes the thing, which is, in this case, a car.”

“But there is a big difference between saying the word car and actually having a new Porsche in my front driveway.”

“You think so,” he said with a knowing look.

“”I take it you don’t think so,” I replied.

He pulled out the shiny 1796 quarter again and set it on the table. “This is a coin, is it not?”

“I would think so,” I said.

“Now does the word coin refer only to this coin or to the idea of coins in general?”

“The idea of coins in general.”

“What word then refers to this specific coin?”

“I don’t know,” I said, thinking. “I guess we could call it John’s coin.”

“But there are many who are called John and many coins. What word refers to this coin?”

“How about John the Beloved’s 1796 quarter?” added Elizabeth.

“But I could have two such quarters,” he replied.

“I know you well enough to know you’re leading us to a conclusion that is beyond the obvious,” I said. “You’re not looking for a set of regular words are you?”

“Then what am I looking for?”

“You said you are looking for the word that identifies your coin.”

“Yes.” He noded. “Now what word could it be?”

“Well, I’ve concluded it is not a regular word, but you agree that a word is a vibration that represents a thing. Perhaps the coin’s word is some type of vibration peculiar to itself.”

John smiled and replied, “You’re finally headed the right direction.”

 

[…]

 

pp. 75

 

“And what is sound again?”

A light began to go off in my head as I replied, “Sound is a vibration and vibration is composed of waves!”

“And what is the word which is this coin?”

“This is getting interesting,” I mused. “I think I see where you are going. This coin is made up of vibrations, and since vibration is sound, then this coin is made of sound. If we could somehow hear the fine vibrations we could hear the word which is this coin.”

“You start off a little slow, but you usually come through,” John smiled.

[…]

 

pp. 76

 

“All creation, which appears complex when divided into its many parts, always evolves toward the greatest of simplicity. The element silver is composed of billions of tiny sounds, but the many tiny voices blend in a great choir to make one master sound. To speak the word which is silver, I merely make the one sound instead of the many.”

“But you said the coin is made of two elements, which is copper as well as silver. Is it composed of two words?”

“No. The sound which is silver blends with the sound which is copper to make one sound just as two voices blend to create harmony.”

 

pp. 88

 

“To ensure that this would be the case I absorbed and sounded the Word which is Elizabeth when I first met her. Just as the shiny new coin has an uncorrupted word, so do we. The image you see of Elizabeth is the result of her Word sounded in a healthy state. Having this image of her in my room gives me power to restore her to health on either a temporary or permanent basis.”

 

pp. 89

 

“And then I demonstrated the truth of this for you in applying it to form. All form is the result of sound, or a word, and all form goes through the process of decay or corruption. But the sounding of the original word on all planes restores the form just as sounding the original phrase in the game restores the meaning.”

 

pp. 138

 

“I think I see what you are getting at,” I said. “The idea of a sandcastle, along with its form, continues to exist even if the elements that represent the form crumble.”

“Yes,” he said. “The sand is not the form of the castle, but represents the form. All form represents an idea and all ideas are founded upon some eternal principle. We have therefore the eternal triangle of form, idea, and principle. An eternal word is a word that conveys the true idea so it will never be lost or destroyed. The first sandcastle is long gone, but the original idea is recreated every day, and can be seen on beaches as long as human thought continues on this planet.”

“Interesting,” I said. “So the first sandcastle still exists amidst all the beaches of the world as it is recreated by fun-loving people. I guess we must learn to differentiate between real form and that which makes up the form.”

“Exactly,” said John. “Even though the first sandcastle was not written with a pen or spoken with the mouth, it was nevertheless an Eternal Word that shall not pass away. There are many other ways to write or speak to the mind of another without the use of pen and ink.”

“Like pictures,” injected Elizabeth.

“Actually, all physical communication boils down to pictures,” he replied. “Even the basic alphabet is composed of pictures of symbols, which, when pieced together, create a bigger picture. The first letter of the alphabet is a picture of a sound, whereas a sandcastle is a picture of many sounds.”

The Assignment:

Name three additional key words that are not dictionary words. One of them should be organic.

Perhaps I need to add a little more explanation. By key words I mean the use of the term “Word” as it applies to this key, which is somewhat different than the dictionary definition of a word.  All the words that fit the regular dictionary definition are included in a good unabridged dictionary.

We are seeking the meaning of a word according to how John was using it when he said, “the Word is God,” and according to its use in the Twelfth Key.

I’ve given some reasonable hints so far including the fact that the creation of the universe is created and sustained by what is considered from a higher point of view – one Word. Now if the universe is created through the sounding of one Word then, from a higher view, a Word is much more inclusive than the thousands of pieces of information in a dictionary.

I elaborated on this at the gathering (Part 18 at about the seven minute mark) and told the group that a word could be a single word, a phrase, a piece of music, a book, or even the Boy Scout Motto.

A Word as it pertains to this Key is a thought seeking manifestation, or a thought in manifestation.

Dan and Adam named a few 12th Key Words that are not in the dictionary.

Dan’s were: “The Adventures of Tom Sawyer”, “The Holy Bible”, “John Lennon’s Imagine”, the “principle of freedom”, and “Soul Contact”.

Adam’s were: Lou Gehrig’s farewell speech, “Soylent Green is people!”

It may seem odd to call all these things words, but they all represent thought in manifestation.  I was surprised that no one got the organic (living) word that you see when you look in the mirror.  That word is you.

Now if your name is Dan, Dan is not the word I am talking about, for the Dan here in the group is a different word than the thousands of other Dans who are out there. Our Dan here has an essence, vibration and thought different than anyone else in the universe.

The universe is one word yet its body is composed of trillions of individual words.

A dog (God backwards) is also one word but is also composed of trillions of words. Some words that come to mind are eye, nose, hair, teeth, tongue, mouth, stomach, brain, cells, molecules and trillions of atoms, each representing a different word.

The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is a phrase representing the Word which is the book, and is composed of thousands of individual words.  But overall, the word which is the book, is thought in manifestation.

Mark Twain heard this particular Word, which is God, within his consciousness and brought it into manifestation.

The question was, “What is a Word?”

The answer is that it is any idea or thought seeking manifestation.

Now let us move on to the second question.  Why is the Word called God and why is this a key to power?

 

Dec 13, 2013

There has been some high quality expressions the past few days Group members show what they are made of when challenged.

I can’t possibly comment on all the good thoughts but will add a few of my own.

Let us look at the first question. “Why is the Word called God?”

The Key cannot be understood or used unless this answer becomes clear in the student’s mind.

Why is God called God? Answer: Because He created all things.  What created all things?  Vibration.  What is vibration? The sum of all wavelengths in the universe is The Word.

Is this universe all there is?

No

Is there some greater being uttering a Word that creates a universe of universes?

Yes.

Now consider this. A human being is to the God of the universe as is God in relationship to the God of the universe of universes.

Does this mean that God is not really God, but some greater being is?

No.  Neither does it mean that the word which is you is not God.

Neither does it mean that any idea that you have that you are seeking to manifest is not a Word which is God. It is also a Word, which is God.

Absorbing this truth elevates the soul to great heights because it is a key to manifesting the powers of God among men.

Earlier I said that the trinity of words pertinent to manifesting this key are: accept, embrace and merge.

These are helpful, but perhaps[s a fourth word is in order. This is one made up by the Science fiction writer Robert Heinlein in his book Stranger in a Strange Land.  There was not an English word for what he needed to express so he made one up and that word is “grok.”  If you grok something you totally understand it because you merge with it so completely that it is as if you become that thing.

This is what God has done with us who are his words and it is what we must do with our words. And remember, I am not speaking of dictionary words but ideas which are words coming into manifestation through your nurturing power and moved along by their own share of the intelligence of God.

Now tell me.  How and why is this knowledge, when groked, a key to power?

Do I Have To Join A Church To Be Saved?

Joseph Dewey
This entry is part 24 of 57 in the series Mysteries

Question Twenty-Six

Do I have to join a church to be saved?

Some churches maintain that salvation comes through their organization and you must join them to be saved.  Others have the idea that you must fellowship in one of a number of churches deemed to have the right idea of who and what Jesus is. Still others have no specific doctrine concerned with the church and salvation but insist that their church will bring you closer to God. Many of them joke that they are supplying believers with “fire insurance,” to protect them from the fires of hell.

In our last question we learned that salvation really means to be delivered from error.  After all, the word “salvation” comes from the Greek SOLTERIA which literally means “to rescue or deliver.” Therefore salvation from sin is really a deliverance from error.

Therefore, any church that claims to offer or aid the seeker in obtaining salvation must offer a deliverance from error.

And how does a church or any entity deliver from error?

Quite simple.  We are delivered from error by knowledge of things that are true.

People at one time thought the earth was flat.  Great thinkers and explorers proved that this was and error, that the world was round and not the center of the universe. They delivered, or saved us from, that error, or sin of ignorance.

One reason that Jesus was called a savior was that he delivered us from a number of huge errors.

And how did he do that?

He told us that it was by the power of his words.  That only makes sense since he was called “The Word” in the Gospel of John.

Jesus emphasized again and again that the words he spoke have power to save and deliver us from error and that the saving “word is truth.”  John 17:17

In the great parable of the Sower we are told that “The sower soweth the word.” Mark 4:14 Here we learn that those who treasure up the words of truth in their hearts will be saved.

Words are so powerful that words such as those spoken by Jesus were called “words of eternal life.” John 6:68

Not only were the words of Jesus important to salvation but so are our own for he said, “ For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.” Matt 12:37

But Jesus emphasized the power of his words of truth to deliver when he said, “the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.”  John 6:63

Salvation then comes from words that are true, which deliver us from error.  The bigger the error that we are delivered from the greater is the salvation.

The biggest errors of all that we make are those that take us away from eternal life and the words of Jesus correct, or save us, and set us on the right course.

Now let us get back to our original question. To ask if we need churches to be saved is like asking if we need a church to find words of truth that deliver us from error. The answer is that we do not. It matters not where we find the words of truth.  They are what they are and if we accept them then we are delivered from error.

Does this mean that the churches have no purpose?

No. They teach truth in differing degrees and assist many people in their search for the words of truth. Most churches offer little depth of knowledge, however, and the true seeker must go beyond that which they offer. He must study and contemplate using his own initiative.

Some of the greatest words of Jesus that all must take to heart are:

“Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.” Matt 7:7-8
