Ticket To Ride

A reader expressed his doubts about himself being ready for any advanced work.

You speak for many here. This is one of the main differences between Jesus and us. If a female sincerely tells a regular guy that she believes he can do all things even to the raising of a Lazarus from the dead we would make fun of her rather than taking it seriously. Jesus took it seriously and spoke the words of faith and with the union of male/female energy caused a man who had been dead over three days to come forth.

I must also confess that sometimes my believing wife tells me to do some crazy things (like heal my computer when it doesn’t work right) and I make light of her so you’re not alone here.

A reader asks:

“Why did the withdrawal of an atom (Judas’) leave Jesus and the whole molecule so vulnerable? Is it the price to pay? Can you relate this to an initiate that cuts his covenant (to soul, wife or brotherhood) and the sorrow that ensues? Hey, it’s better to grow slowly then.”

It wasn’t the withdrawal from the molecule that caused the problem, but the betrayal. If a disciple decides to withdraw from a molecule because he is not ready or desires to join another one then the transition can be made harmless, but the problem with Judas was that his actual act of betrayal when he took those thirty pieces of silver in exchange for his Master’s life shattered the molecule in a way that caused a great and rapid withdrawal of energy. It’s like deep sea diving. If you come up too fast it can be deadly, but if you come up slowly there is time to adjust and all is well. Judas gave his Lord no time to adjust and would have caused His death if the angel had not come and strengthened him.

Scholars have never questioned why the three disciples with Him could not stay awake. Even though they were not affected nearly as much as Jesus they almost fell into a coma until the angel came and assisted the Master. It took a superhuman effort on the part of Jesus to handle the situation as He was facing the cross. He had to face greater pain than the cross so He could go to the cross. There was such stress that He bled from the pores of his body.

“Another question is: why are you attempting to draw from the net simple seekers as us, and doesn’t this molecule need experienced initiates? Are they doing it in the Brotherhood? Finally you might answer the simple question: what are we doing here with you and why. I mean, how does it relate to the whole pattern? I should ask this more precisely. We are not active conscious initiates, like the ones that receive direct guidance from masters. I for one, am clearly an aspirant, and no disciple, a disciple serves and is not self centered.”

This is an awkward question to deal with. If I build the group up too much I could wrongfully affect some egos so they think they are higher than they are and feel they are ready to be saviors of mankind. There is nothing more awkward for a teacher to deal with than one who is a beginner spiritually who believes he is the next great avatar and was a dozen of the most important people in history in his past lives.

The words of Jesus come to mind here:

“And he put forth a parable to those which were bidden, when he marked how they chose out the chief rooms; saying unto them, When thou art bidden of any man to a wedding, sit not down in the highest room; lest a more honourable man than thou be bidden of him; And he that bade thee and him come and say to thee, Give this man place; and thou begin with shame to take the lowest room. But when thou art bidden, go and sit down in the lowest room; that when he that bade thee cometh, he may say unto thee, Friend, go up higher: then shalt thou have worship in the presence of them that sit at meat with thee.

“For whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.” Luke 14:7-11

If we are not sure of our position it is best to take the “lowest room” for if by chance one is a beginner he shall not be embarrassed when the truth is revealed. On the other hand, if the Master says: “come up higher” the disciple is honored. There would be nothing more embarrassing than to think of oneself as a great avatar only to learn that the first initiation has not yet been taken.

Remember, the true disciple does not publicly reveal his status, and especially does not brag about status. I cannot stress this too often.

Some here underestimate themselves. Perhaps these should hear the voice of the master calling to “come up higher” and aspire to things more noble.

The twelve that Jesus picked for that early molecule were fairly ordinary people by the standards of the day. Some had great accomplishments in past lives but were unaware of their potential until the Christ stimulated them.

In this age the same shall occur. The molecular initiates in this time will feel the same points of tension as did the early disciples and will wonder about their worthiness and readiness. I certainly wonder about mine to do such a job but I forge ahead because I feel I must. There is no telling the repercussions if each of us do not do our jobs whether large or small.

If we wait for some obviously advanced initiates to create molecules we will be waiting through the next millennium. As the old farmer says, we must plow with the horses we have. The molecule is not yet ready to be formed but hopefully soon will be and those who feel a call from their souls to be a part of it must prepare their minds and hearts for the ride of their lives.

I use that phraseology because a while back my wife heard a voice speak to her as she woke up. It said: “You have a ticket to ride.” She had an impression that it was speaking of the great opportunity that she would have in this work and the creation of the molecule and that she was to hold on to the ticket and not lose the opportunity. I guess that applies to all of us.

Inspirational, Spiritual and Metaphysical Quotes

From The Writings Of JJ Dewey

1 What I present here is only a seed thought in the direction of understanding the name of God, but if one allows the seed to be planted, nurtured and grown to fruition then such a one will go forward and do “even greater works” than did Jesus as he predicted.

2 You cannot pronounce the name of God by merely being taught the letters or normal sounds that you commit to memory and repeat.

3 The name of God must be spoken on four levels. These levels are the physical, emotional, mental and the soul, or spiritual. If there is interplay on all four levels then nothing can prevent the BECOMING of the seed and the manifestation of healing and wholeness.

4 The essence of the name [of God] is realized when the speaker understands that he is to BECOME as he decides to become when that decision is in harmony with the will of God.

5 The name of God includes more than your own becoming for in the end all souls are one.

6 We should not let our bias toward the Bible, because of its association with wild-eyed TV preachers, prevent us from learning its great truths.

7 The name of God must go forward with understanding.

8 Unjust authority is the mark of the beast that prevents the Name of God from manifesting in the heart and mind.

9 It is quite easy to control a person who thinks that God speaks to an authority, but not directly to himself. This authority that speaks for God becomes then the God without.

10 It takes humility to admit we are not the greatest. Mankind has the same problem with its gods. The God we worship always has to be the head man of the universe and if Jesus is our God then we want him to be right up there at the top of the heap.

11 Only a small number escape the power of the unjust authority of the Beast and find the Father’s name inside their own minds and hearts.

12 If God is within us then His Name is also within us even if we do not consciously perceive it.

13 When people curse the truth they are in reality cursing God because God is the foundation of all true principles.

14 What is in the forehead of those who sing The Song of the 144,000? Answer: The name of God.

15 When you see a brother in need and you see him as becoming perfect with you, you are speaking the name.

16 Instead of making covenants with a living God the spiritual guides of the people make covenants with groups, organizations and governments with a priority above their commitment to God and the people they serve.

17 The true name of God is I AM BECOMING THAT WHICH I DECIDE TO BECOME.

18 There are many ministers who have never had a true spiritual experience or have never found God yet are telling others with the voice of authority how to lead the spiritual life.

19 We must accept responsibility for our own actions, and not wait for God to save us or to set things right, but to get off our butt and put some action behind our words and correct the mess the world is in.

20 Many make their assumption that because a situation exists as it is that this is the Will of God being manifest.

21 The Bible is the Word of God in the same way that Tom Sawyer, Aesop’s Fables and the Farmer’s Almanac is the Word of God.

22 Revelation, the soul, and the Spirit of God are available to all who seek. It’s too bad the authorities in the churches do not accept this.

23 No change which fulfills the purpose of God will hurt the world at large and the people as a whole will always benefit.

24 There is another way to physically sound the name of God. In the midst of healing you will be given a mystic phrase corresponding to the BECOMING that is to transpire. This phrase is usually spoken and communicated by the healer to the mind and soul of the person for whom it is intended.

25 Faith brings decision into being and through faith we manifest the name of God becoming in us.

26 The most important function of the churches of the world is to teach infant seekers the discipline to control their physical impulses so they are directed toward an intelligent end.

27 Most religions are a cop-out designed to put all responsibility on God.

28 For the seeker the old name of God was a God without. He was in Heaven “up there.” He was the voice of the priest, the prophets or the words of the physical Bible. The new name of God is within and the inner voice may tell him things that he has never heard from the Bible or any physical teacher. From the new within he learns the good, the beautiful and the true and links with the “innumerable company” that creates the New Jerusalem.

29 If we take upon ourselves the name of Christ as commanded in the scriptures, it merely means that we have committed ourselves to unselfish service to the benefit of the world.

30 The Holy Trinity has the same name on three different levels. The highest level is the one creative Word that created all there is in the Spiritual worlds. The second level Word, which roughly means BECOMING, created all there is in the worlds of form and the third name is the highest manifestation of a specific name of God on the physical plane. That name is Jesus Christ.
