Higher Spiritual Contact
I was asked some questions about the baptism of fire and soul contact. Since I have written quite a lot on this already I thought I would give some of the most pertinent extractions on the subject. Here they are.
It is not good to put absolute faith in any being in the physical form whether it be Jesus, Buddha or Nero. The faith you must place should be on the Spirit of God within you that communicates with you through the point of Soul or interplay between Spirit and Matter – The Still Small Voice. The Spirit has this important ability. It can recognize truth and verify truth to whoever is seeking it with sincerity.
The receiver of such truth may distort it and use it imperfectly, but nevertheless the Spirit is ever diligent to make sure the point of truth is verified to us.
Now the Spirit is a Great Being who is Becoming on His own plane but relative to us he has achieved the “perfect” ability to verify truth in principle and on this you must put your trust.

Higher confirmation that leads to oneness
comes in two ways.
(1) The Still Small Voice. In a molecular group the Still Small Voice speaks the same message of truth to all as if they are one life.
On an individual basis a person not familiar with the true Voice may think he hears it when he is really hearing reflections of his own thoughts, but when the Voice is finally registered for what it is there can be no deception as long as the mind is held steady in the light.
If the person slips away from the light he can again be deceived by his lower desires and thoughts.
In a molecule a sure sign that all have heard the voice will be that all hear the same thing at the same instant and interpret it the same way.
(2) The fire of the Spirit. This is briefly mentioned in the scriptures:
“John answered, saying unto [them] all, I indeed baptize you with water; but one mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire:” Luke 3:16
There is a spiritual fire that is transmitted by the Christ to His disciples and on important occasions He will send the fire to the group as an undeniable confirmation of the path to take. Sometimes when you hear the Still Small Voice it is so still and so small that you wonder if you are imagining things, at least in the beginning. But when the fire is sent from Christ to an individual or a Molecule there is no questioning the validity because it is a very powerful experience.
This can only happen to a molecule or group when they are already listening to the voice of the soul. If one person is out of alignment the group life cannot receive the fire.
In the case of the Apostles at Pentecost the alignment was so correct that a visible fire occurred.
“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.” Acts 2:1-3
What the Bible does not say is that they were seated male/female and twin flames came from each male and female and joined into one flame.
This extraordinary charge of fire was sent because this was the initiation of the molecule after Matthias replaced Judas. It was a sure witness to them of the path and that the power of greater life (life more abundant) was manifest again.

When you sense the presence of the Holy Spirit you will feel a range from the Still Small Voice to a Holy Breath that fills you with joy and makes you feel like weeping.
When you feel the presence a Master who is one with Christ you will feel a very strong feeling of love and power and bliss, but you will not necessarily feel like weeping.
Neither of these experiences is frightening.

The beginnings of soul contact does not start with a bang. It starts with the “still small voice,” so still and quiet that you think you are imagining things when you first hear it. It is different than psychic impression which often comes through the astral body. Soul contact comes through the mind and heart (not astral emotions) working as one. The oneness of the mind and heart create a channel.
After you pay attention to this contact the ability to recognize and trust it greatly increases, but it always takes a certain amount of faith to follow.
The fire of the Spirit is a higher contact that comes in varying degrees but when this comes it is unmistakable and leaves no doubt in your mind hat there was definite contact with the energies of God. This higher contact comes for several purposes. One of the main ones is to give positive assurance that a certain direction is the correct one for you to take. Many will eventually receive this fire to confirm the truth about the Molecular Order and that they are to be a part of it.
Then there will be those who have not yet received soul contact or the fire who will be deceived by lower astral fire. If one has not received the higher fire it is easy to conclude that the lower fire is the higher fire.
When one receives the higher fire he knows that he has received it and knows that he knows. He can also recognize another who has received it and who is currently open to it. He who has received only the astral fire cannot discern the difference between the two. He believes be knows but does not know that her knows.
Many people have their higher contact greatly delayed because of the deception that the astral contact is the ultimate. This keeps them from making the next step because they are not looking for it.

Soul contact reaches down through several reflections. Most of us have received some type of impression either directly from the soul or reflected through our mental or astral (emotional) bodies. Have you ever had a gut feeling to do or not to do a thing? Have you ever had an idea flash into your mind that just seemed right to you? Paying attention to these subtle impressions are guides that leads you to the still small voice, so still and so small (a zero point) that you will wonder if it is your imagination working overtime.
But then if you have faith in this voice and follow it eventually the voice will seem as strong as a rushing of mighty waters and you will come into the oneness principle and know that you are never alone for you always have before you an association with others of higher consciousness who are one with the Voice.

The mind and the light of the Spirit are like this. The “universal Light” of the Spirit is always there like the sun at noonday and the mind is like a magnifying glass that captures this seemingly normal light and focuses it through purity and steadiness of intent until the spiritual fire is manifest.
The beginner seems to focus at random and creates a little fire from time to time. But slowly over a long period of trial and error the seeker learns to hold the mind steady so the light stays in focus at all times. Finally at this time the spiritual fire burns consistently, and this is what the higher lives look for. When they see your spiritual fire always there, always burning, always neutralizing negativity, illusion and high resistance of the lower worlds, then they realize that a new co-worker is in the making.
Holding your mind steady in the light creates a fire that burns a hole in the veil of the temple and thus “the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom” (Matt 27:51) thus allowing the disciple to enter into the Holy of Holies or the Kingdom of God.
By contrast the Dark Brothers enter the world of lower mind not through the door of love but through desire and glamour. Because they are then caught in illusion they use their magnifying glass of mind to focus the dark into a black hole of the mind that is so powerful in its gravity that no light can manifest.
This is part of the meaning of the comment of Jesus:
“But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!” Matt 6:23

As you enter the world of oneness in the Spirit it will seem to come and go like the wind and when it does sweep over your spirit (like a wave as you aptly express it) you will feel like weeping with joy. Now in the normal emotional realm I have to have some overwhelming occurrence to cause me to shed tears, but when the higher feelings of the Spirit come and I sense the wave I immediately feel the tears of joy coming and I have no desire to hold back as I often do with regular emotional response.
Many people who have not felt this, tell of some of their experiences and think they are the highest possible, but they do not realize there is yet a giant leap in feelings in front of them. One who has felt what I call the New Jerusalem feeling will have a sense of oneness and brotherhood with others who have felt it and those who have not yet had this baptism of fire, yet think they have, will never be able to adequately describe it.
A definite ingredient to the experience is an overwhelming feeling of joy that brings tears that the strongest of hearts cannot hold back.
This spiritual fire is usually given to you as a witness to some truth that you are supposed to register and incorporate into your life or mission. It gives you a surety that you are headed the right direction.
