Thank you Justcool. Ditto comments as above.
Re: Astral Prototypes & phantom pains
If everything on earth is first formed in the astral plane (before it manifests physically on earth), then isn't a loss of some limb on earth also supposed to manifest first in the astral body----why does the latter remain full?
I am assuming that all karmaic responses of the Universe/Creation that we weave for ourselves in the gross material earthly plane first comes to materialization in the astral plane before manifesting on earth.
Thanks as always

@Speer.

Thanks for your questions.

Like I explained to aGerald, not all the suffering that people go through on earth are as a result of karma. And also remember, that there are two types of actions: Premeditated action and unpremeditated action.

Premeditated action is an action that is was well thought of beforehand. For example, a man is filled with hatred for his neighbor to the extent that wishes that his neighbor’s leg be cut off. Since this hatred, that this man feels for his neighbor is spiritually felt, it takes on a living form in the beyond. A living form, thus a demon, because it is the work of the spirit which implores the principle neutral power in creation, a work which carries a living mobile core. These demons approach the object or person to whom they are directed to, in this case the man’s neighbor, and seek to anchor or attach themselves on his nonphysical cloaks. If this man offers no resistance or if he carries or indulges in thoughts homogenous to the nature of the demons, they can attach to him and cause great harm to his nonphysical cloak, ie he loses his astral limb. This harm will eventually manifest physically either through the neighbor that created the demon or even through another brutal individual or through some other means that may even appear as accident to the physical observer. An example of this case is the case of the wounds that Jesus bears on His nonphysical cloaks. This was caused by the thoughts of hatred and destruction that mankind directed towards Him. But in His case it was not homogeneity in Him that allowed them to do harm, but as a result of His voluntary connection to mankind; a connection through which only love could have flowed to Him from mankind if mankind had recognized the love He embodied. Being the Light who knows neither darkness nor weakness, in order to help mankind out of their weaknesses, He had to maintain a connection to them. Through this connection He could clearly perceive their weaknesses and assess their spiritual level and hence know how and what to teach them. The drawback was that through this connection to mankind, He was bound to receive to a certain extent the effects of their wickedness and hatred towards Him; He felt their hatred and the thoughts of destruction they harbored for Him, and this hurt Him greatly because He was Love incarnate.

The case of unpremeditated action is different. An example: In this case the man we described above, let’s call him Mr. A, does not hate his neighbor; indeed he does not even know him and hence hardly thinks of him. Indeed this of his neighbor has no enemies and hence nobody directs thoughts of destruction towards him. But one fateful day, he meets Mr. A and they both disagree over a trivial issue and an argument ensured. Impulsively and without deeply thinking, Mr. A pulls out a machete and cuts of his neighbor’s leg. Since his spirit was not really involved in this action, hence there were no demons(Intuitive volitions of the spirit) involved. The action is was as a result of thoughts that immediately flashed in his mind, hence at best phantoms could have arisen from them, but such phantoms are too weak to create any really harm on his neighbors astral body. Hence his neighbor’s astral body was intact before the cutting off of the physical leg, and this astral body also remained intact afterwards. This is a purely physical action and hence it’s harm is done mostly on the physical level. Some people are so impulsive that they hardly meditate or think of what they do; neither do they really intuitively mean to do any harm. Such purely physical actions can also result from the perpetrator being drunk, on drugs, and etc. In some cases when the individual sobers up or sees what he had done, he will be filled with regret. Such purely physical actions can result in its effect being merely physical while less harm is done in the beyond i.e. physical leg being cut off while the astral leg remains intact. Neither is this as a result of the neighbor’s karma, it is simply a result Mr. A’s carelessness. By the same token there are good deeds that only benefits physically and lacks any real spiritual blessing due to lack of involvement of the spirit or spiritual intuition. If you recollect our discussion on the issue of “Spiritualize the work of your hand.” Indeed the answer to this question lies in the explanation I gave then; here I’m only restating what I have already said earlier in different words.

There are actually two types unpremeditated actions, we only discussed one type here. The other type involves the spiritual volition more; but that will take us away from today’s discussion.

Thanks and remain blessed.

Re: Nahome

Given her true nature/origin and purpose/mission during the first incarnation (The Prince) I find it very very very untoward the manner/decision by which she left her earthly cloak. One expects a much much better setting of an example and level of conscious thinking. What was such behavior in aid of and how does it in any way fulfil any of the objectives of the Light.

I do not perceive that the manner by which she left her earthly cloak fulfilled any objectives of the light, neither do I perceive that it is right for any individual to leave his/her earthly cloak in such a manner.

However, it is not right for us to judge others. We know that it is the spiritual volition behind any action that carries the most weight, not the outward physical appearance of the action. Hence two people with two different spiritual motives may do the same thing on the physical level, yet receive different spiritual rewards or retribution. One thing we are sure of is that she did what she did out of love. She lived for the prince and served Him selflessly; she asked to be allowed to always be by His side, and it was granted. Hence when she found Him gone, she felt she had to follow Him who she loved and lived for. It is my perception that it was this volition(love) behind her action that greatly mitigated the reciprocal action which otherwise may have been very harsh. Perhaps the pains from the poison she took served as the symbolic redemption of her action. If she realized right afterwards that she had acted wrongly, albeit with good volition, then she would have felt sad and guilty for her action. For such a pure soul, just the feeling of guilt or sadness after the realization of a wrong action is enough to serve as the symbolic redemption of the wrong action. It is also worthy to observe that in her next incarnation on earth, she had to endure living many years on earth after her beloved Prince had left. Indeed she lived on earth for centuries after He had gone. One can only imagine how painful those years may have been to her, she obviously must have missed Him greatly. This also could be the symbolic redemption of the guilt of taking her own life in her earlier incarnation.

At best, we can call her action(the manner by which she left her body) wrong, but not evil. This action was definitely not lacking in love, but it perhaps was lacking in trust and confidence in God, and may also be lacking in consideration to others who looked up to her. One who trusts God completely will not take his/her own life, but will wait and endure, trusting that God will make a way. She may have been allowed to leave the earth the same day; in that case the Almighty will allow His nonphysical servants to sever the connection between her body and her soul, she dies. Jesus waited till the last minute. Had He not completely trusted God, He would have ended His life when He was sure that He would be crucified. He would have ended His life after the last supper. But His complete trust in God and consideration of the example He was setting to human beings would not let Him do such. It was with inhuman courage that He faced the painful torture and death on the cross.

Also, about her origin/nature, here my perception differs from the mainstream. I’ve been told by many esteemed cross bearers that both her and Maria in creation carried unsubstantiate cores. It is my perception that Irmingard originated in the Divine plane as the first in the garden of Purity which arouse through the radiation and activity of the Primordial Queen. It was this Irmingard in the Divine that a spark of unsubstantiality was given. This Irmingard has a vessel/anchorage in the Primordial spiritual realm. A vessel that swings in purity, and can link up with Irmingard in the Divine at times, in such time she works through her. It was this pure vessel that followed the Prince down to the earth. Also the Maria which I described in an earlier post as a bisected part from out of Imanuel (Parsifal) and Jesus has her dwelling in the Divine substantiate, above creation; however, like in the case of Irmingard, she has a vessel/anchorage in the Primordial spiritual plane; a vessel who swings in Love, who bears the name Maria and who she works through in creation. It was also this vessel that incarnated in Troy as Princes Cassandra, and later accompanied the Prince on His last visit to the earth. The Grail message made it clear that Maria and Irmingard are not part of creation, but helps in creation through their anchorages that they can connect to, but not tied to. Hence currents in creation can never reach or react on them personally, however their radiation helps creation in an uplifting and purifying way. Hence the Maria and Irmingard with unsubstantiate cores have never incarnated into subsequent creation. Only two beings with unsubstantiate cores have incarnated into subsequent creation, and these two are Jesus and the Son of man.

From the the Primodial Spiritual Planes V, we read:

“Maria does not enter into all this at all, nor does Irmingard. Coming from above, They are, it is true, anchored into the Creations, but not firmly connected with them. Therein lies a great difference again.
Despite the anchorages They are not tied to them, but completely free from them and their currents. The currents of Creation can approach Them through these anchorages, so that they become clearly recognisable, but they can never penetrate into Them, because the necessary connection for this is lacking.
Maria and Irmingard are active, but without the possibility of anything reacting upon Them! They work in a helping and uplifting way, strengthening, purifying, healing or also repelling, but in Their Radiations They do not connect Themselves with the Creation. Heed this well!”

(Abd-ru-shin)

Hence the connection between these two Divine ladies carrying unsubstantiate cores with their anchorages in creation is not the same with the connection between Imanuel and Parsifal. Parsifal is inseparably connected to Imanuel and carries an unsubstantiate core from out of Imanuel; Hence He is not only a vessel but a part of Imanuel with a Primodial spiritual body. Hence Parsifal can never be without Imanuel; but Maria and Irmingard of creation can be or act without the Divine Maria and Irmingard. Only at times do they connect to these vessels in creation. Hence it is wrong to consider these vessels Divine beings or Beings carrying unsubstantaite cores.

This knowledge is scattered across the Grail Message, clues lie in different lectures. The reader has painstakingly, intuitively, and courageously put them all together to arrive at an answer. Another clue worth mentioning is the fact that in the sixth step of the Primordial Spiritual Planes we find the white castle in which dwell two vessels that carry down the two sons of God, Jesus and the son of Man, the only two that carry unsubstantiate cores in creation. Hence for beings carrying unsubstantiate cores to descend into subsequent creation, primordial spiritual vessels are needed on the sixth step of the Primordial spiritual planes. The one swinging in love carried Jesus down to His earthly mother, while the one swinging in Justice carried the son of man down to His earthly mother. So if the Irmingard that has Devine unsubstantiate core had once descended into subsequent creation, there should also have been a third vessel in the white castle, one swinging in Purity, to carry her down to her earthly mother. Indeed there should be four vessels, the fourth for Maria. But if we assume that since Maria swings in love she could have being carried down by the same vessel that carried Jesus. Then what about Irmingard who swings in Purity? Where is her vessel in the white castle? But there is no such third or fourth vessel in the white castle.

This only shows that they (Maria and Irmingard) needed no such Primodial spiritual vessels in the White castle to carry them down to their earthly mothers because they do not have unsubstantiate cores. They are actualy Primodial spiritual vessels themselves. However, during the period of the most sacred fulfillments on earth the two vessels Maria and Irmingard were able to connect to the ones above creation who carry unsubstantaite cores.

The mainstream crossbeares do not hold this view. You might want to listen to their perception too and then compare with mine, and then compare both with the Grail message so that you can have your own perception. These are perceptions that dawned on me very recently during my period of retreat

I remain a human being and can very well be wrong.


Speer:

This paragraph is from the lecture Man and His Free Will

This magical power which is at everyone’s disposal throughout his whole life on earth, in constant readiness to help, which also originates from the same union of generative power with the spiritual power, and which can liberate from all karma, is love! It is not the demanding love of the material world, but the high pure love which knows and desires nothing but the welfare of the beloved one and which never thinks of itself. This love also belongs to material Creation[i][/i], and it demands no renunciation, no asceticism, but only wishes what is best for the other. It fears for him, suffers with him, but also shares in his joy.

Pls could you elucidate of the "This love also belongs to material Creation"
I thought that such a level of love wherein the development of the loved ones' spiritual development is paramount (i.e. primary concern for the loved ones' spirit and its advancement) would be well, spiritual and not material in its "classification" as such.

Have a rewarding week..............

Yes love is Spiritual, indeed Divine, and definitely not material. The statement “This love also belongs to material creation” in my perception was made to clarify the earlier one which says, ”It is not the demanding love of the material world,…” This statement may lead people to think that Love cannot be practiced in the material world. Some people could easily have misconstrued the statement that, “It is not the demanding love of the material world” to mean that pure love cannot be practiced in the material world or has no place in the material world.

Hence the statement that “this love also belongs to the material Creation” means that this high pure love which knows and desires nothing but the welfare of the beloved one and which never thinks of itself can also be practiced in the material creation.

It doesn’t mean that love is material; it only means that high pure love also has a place in the material worlds, it can also be practiced on earth.

One can practice this high pure love in any part of creation, even in the material creation.

Thanks and remain blessed.

Now to your questions.

aGerald:

Let's take for instance, a good man who was robbed near the bush in a lonely crooked street. When the armed robbers hijacked him, the first thing he did was to pray. The robbers snatched his money and his shoes from him. Then just when one of the robbers was about to shoot him, compassion from nowhere deluged the robber's heart so he only knocked out the man, took his car, and they all drove off.

This same incident happened to a wicked man. The difference was that when the robber raised his gun against the man, he was only too glad to kill him, then drive away with his car, and smoke some nice hot cigarette happily. And so did it happen.

I know very well, this could be the law of reciprocal action operating. But it could not be if man was utterly in control of his will.

I do not see anything here that suggests that man was not utterly in control of his free-will. The scenario above could have resulted because the thief was not yet completely spiritually dead. He belongs to the group of spirits with a propensity, as I explained above. In this man’s case it may be a propensity to steal. Yet the core of his spirit, the source of his intuitive perception or conscience is still alive and warns him against stealing and killing, only that when the addiction kicks in he disregards his conscience. However, his conscience, is the true will of his spirit, not the desire to steal and kill which emanates from his propensity.
When the man about to be robbed prayed, he prayed for compassion; this prayer which emanated from his spirit took on form in the beyond. The form of this prayer, although connected through a cord to the man that prayed, move towards the person(the thief) the prayer is directed to and seek to attach itself. And from this person the prayer is them pulled towards the power center in the beyond corresponding to the nature of the prayer, yet maintaining a connecting cord to the thief and the originator of the prayer. From the power center of compassion, compassion will flow through the cord, to the thief and also to the person who prayed. However the prayer could only attach itself or its cord to the thief if there is something homogeneous to its nature in the thief. In this case, the conscience of the thief, coming from his spirit, was homogenous to the prayer and hence allowed the prayer to connect its path to it. And when compassion flowed through this path to the thief, it strengthened the thief’s spirit's will or conscience, allowing it to rise above the propensity or greatly mitigating the propensity depending on how spiritually alive or open the thief is. In this case it was only able to make him decide not to kill the man. In another thief, perhaps, it might have made him totally desist from stealing from the man. Or it might even make him help the man rather than stealing from him. Such things have happened. The effect of prayer of intersection depends greatly on how open or worthy the person prayed for is.

Whatever the case maybe, it was the will of the man that was strengthened not interfered with. It was the will of his spirit that was helped, strengthened by prayer. Help lies perfectly within the will of God in the laws of creation; giving help does not constitute interfering with free-will. Indeed every thought or intuition that arises from us receives help or strengthening from homogenous power centers in creation.

It is like a smoker who wills to stop smoking but lacks will power due to the power of his propensity for smoking. He wants to live long enough to see his kids become adults, but he knows that as a smoker his longs may give way and he may die before his kids become adults. Yet whenever he is bored, he picks a cigarette and smokes and afterwards regrets it. But the next time he gets bored and picks a cigarette and put it on his lips, as he is about to light it, his wife approaches him and tells him to remember his beloved kids. He removes the poison stick from his lips and throws it away. It appears as if the wife interferes with his will, but not really. She is actually helping him free his will, which he bounded or allowed propensity to enslave.

Also, the thief could have totally rejected the prayer by totally closing his spirit or turning a deaf ear to the voice of his conscience. It was his choice. The prayer could be likened to a suggestion but not a forceful compulsion. Its like suggesting to a person about to shoot you not to shoot. Your suggestion may resonate within him and he may decide to follow it or disregard it. In no way have interfered with his free-will.

In the second case, the man about to be robed did not pray. It’s like taking the path of no resistance. It’s like not saying anything to a person about to shoot you. So he found it easier to disregard the voice of conscience in him.


aGerald:

Take for instance: What prevented a bloody criminal from exercising his free will, which at that moment was to kill and steal, on encountering the innocent man? That same criminal also got more urge in taking down the wicked man (This urge in my explanation is logical, because in as much as the robber had compassion for the good man, he should then have more urge in doing evil to the wicked man).

It could also be the radiation or the effect of the inner life of the person about to be robed that awakened either compassion or wickedness in the robber. We all have radiations based on our inner lives or spiritual lives; some people radiate compassion, others love, others kindness and etc. While some radiate wickedness, lust, etc depending on their inner lives. With spirits, we use the word radiate for the lack of a better word; for in reality it is not radiation but attraction. The spirit attracts all that is homogeneous to it. Hence a compassionate person attracts compassion; in his presence the compassion in you will be aroused because he will seek pull or attract it from you, thereby forcing you to hold stronger or pull more from other sources of compassion that you are connected to. However, if you have no compassion in you, his presence will not awaken any in you but may rather repulse your nature which is not homogenous to his; this repulsion often manifests as hatred.

Hence for the compassion in the man about to be robbed to arouse compassion in the thief, the thief must have maintained a link to the power center of compassion, albeit unknowingly. In other words, the thief must have had little compassion in him or at least be open to compassion. Hence here again it is the thief's will or spiritual will that is the decisive factor. To be open to compassion, or to have compassion in you, are two different ways of describing the process of maintaining a connection to the power center of compassion. This too is as a result of your spiritual free-will.

This same compassion in the man about to be robbed that arouse compassion in this thief can arouse hatred in another thief based on the spiritual condition of this thief. Where this compassion meets something totally opposite to its nature, like wickedness, there hatred arises due to repulsion of the two nonhomogeneous species. Since everybody is responsible for that which emanates from him or that which he attracts, this thief is responsible for this hatred which is a consequence of his emanation. So either way, you are responsible for what others call fort in you. The composition of your emanation is due to your free-will, for at the beginning of your journey in creation, your spirit possessed the full power of free-will; only over time did some allow propensities to cling to them, thereby cramping or weakening the power of their will.

aGerald:

With his utter free will, he should have shot both men. With an external force deciding his will, he will then spare the benevolent man, but kill the wicked man.The Grail message teaches of protection obtained from a good karma.

All outside influences, including the influence exercised on the thief due to the power of protection of the good aura(radiation) of the man about to be robbed, can only serve to strengthen, stimulate, clash or support that which the thief decided or that which emanates from him. Outside influences can never forcefully overpower the will of a spirit. Even the power of prayer cannot penetrate you when you are totally closed to it. It must find homogeneity in you for it to anchor, otherwise it will be repulsed. The laws of creation will not allow that which is stronger than the volition of the spirit to battle with the spirit. Whatever approaches any spirit from the outside cannot penetrate it unless the spirit allows it. Hence the spirit is responsible for whatever influences it follows or allows to cling to it. It cannot claim to be under the compulsion of another higher entity without first allowing it, because the justice and love inherent in the laws of creation does not permit such a possibility. However, the spirit can so bind its power and free-will due to propensities clinging to it, like I explained above, and become at the mercy of outside influences. This condition is also the spirits fault and a result of wrong use of its free-will. It is as a result of choices he once made.

aGerald:

So, is the situation thus: that we have free will; then the law of reciprocal action cannot hold, or that the law of reciprocal action (law of GOD) is supreme and must be, and therefore the free will of man must so be suppressed?

Like I explained, the law of reciprocal action does not need the aid of humans to work out its rewards or retribution. Hence whatever a man decides to do to his neighbor is purely his choice; he cannot excuse himself by saying that what he gave his neighbor was his neighbor’s karma. Nor can he say that he was prompted by his neighbors karma therefore it was not his fault. Hence the ancients were told, “Vengeance is mine.” It’s not your duty to distribute or give people their karma. Everything you do stem from your free-will.

aGerald:

A quote from the bible briefs up what I'm trying to say "Then they sought to take him: but no man laid hands on him, because his hour was not yet come Jn3:30"

With all these, my personal belief as of now is that there is freedom of choice but no free will for man.
Please kindly explain the concept of free will better.

Like I explained, the spirit originating from the Will/ Kingdom of God is a part bearer of the Will of God. The will of the spirit, when free is always aligned with the will of God. Hence no spirit wishes to do evil or to kill. These alien will arises out of spiritual indolence or laziness to dispel dark volitions that it sometimes encounters in the worlds of matter. These volitions, including those that arise from the cloaks that the spirit is too lazy to subjugate in the right manner, cling on the spirit cramping its real will.

Hence Christ came as liberator of the spirit. With His word, He showed mankind the true will of their spirits. Those that still listen to their intuitive perception recognized that Christ words accords with their intuition, this confirmation strengthened the Will of their spirits; some were even able to free their will again. In Christ’s words, they regained their free-will.

But, so many still struggled with their propensities and poisonous will of darkness clinging to them, and stifling the Will of God in them. One of such will of darkness was the desire to murder Jesus. This darkness or dark desire seeking perpetration through mankind had to be held back for a while. At least for Jesus to say all He had to say, which at the same time gives mankind time to recognize the true voice of their conscience and reject darkness.

However, when Christ finished His message, ending it with the last supper, mankind was left to decide whether to follow to true way in their conscience, the way of love which Christ showed them or follow the volition of darkness. Those that refused to regain their free-will followed the volition of darkness and Crucified Christ.
This is a better way to understand that scripture. God will not eternally hold darkness, which mankind invited into the earth, away from the earth. But out of love and in answer to the prayers of the righteous, He held it at bay for a while, while showing mankind how to retrace their steps. After this mankind had to decide whether to retrace their step or not.

Remember my analogy of the woman who reminded her husband of his love for his kids, thereby making him to throw away his cigarette. The woman could have taken the cigarette from the man and after reminding him of his love for his kids then place it again in his hands, allowing him to decide. This is not interfering with his free-will, but rather helping him regain it.
The darkness, the volition of Lucifer to end the life of the son of God through mankind, was held at bay for Jesus to instruct mankind and help them retrace their steps, afterwards mankind was left to decide for themselves. This is only Justice.

Both sides had to be allowed to state their case; this is how it is even in earthly court of law. Then afterwards the jury will decide which way to follow. Hence, even though the darkness sought to kill Jesus then, it had to be forcefully kept away for Jesus to finish His message, ie state his case. In other words, darkness was not allowed to use mankind to kill Jesus until mankind had the opportunity to hear the teachings of Jesus, hear the Truth or reminded of the Truth in their hearts. Hence their murder of Jesus made them doubly guilty because help was given them to follow the true will of God in their spirits.

However, the fact these killers were prevented from killing Jesus before his mission was over, does not mean that their free-will was interfered with. Like I explained earlier, physical perpetration is not necessary for the law of reciprocal action to be activated or for free-will to be exercised. Free-will, like I said lies in the spirit. Hence the moment they decided in their heart(spirit) to kill Jesus, they have exercised their free-will and hence based on the law of reciprocal action bound to receive murder in due season, for this decision have made them murderers. And this decision had already taken form in the beyond. As long as this decision stem from their spirits, and not just a spur of the moment from the brain like the whim to smoke out of boredom, they have exercised their free-will and are bound to the consequences.

Hence even a man looked in cage, can still exercise his free-will which lies his spirits ability to decide on radiations to indulge in. He can while locked up in a cage still spiritually indulge in hatred or love.

Putting these all together, preventing them from murdering Jesus before His time did not interfere with their free-will.

In this case it was the dark volition of Lucifer that was held at bay so that mankind will hear Jesus' teaching first. Afterwards, when mankind had been equiped or enlightened by christ, the evil volition was allowed again. For it was mankind's duty to rid the earth and themselves of all forms of evil. It was unfortunate that the moment the were left to decide, they chose to follow and perpetrate the dark volition of Lucifer.

On one side stood Lucifer on the other side stood Jesus, and in the middle stood mankind. Lucifer has stated his case to mankind, he has ruled them for thousands of years. Those that still longed for the light among mankind prayed for help, and God sent Jesus. Then darkness was held at bay for Jesus to state His case hence they couldn't kill Him before He had said all He had to say. After stating His case, mankind was left to decide who to follow. Majority of mankind and those in power chose to follow the will of Lucifer and murdered Jesus.

Thanks and remain blessed

@ aGerald
Before I deal with your questions I must first define what is meant by free will and the operation of the law of reciprocal action.

Free will is an ability that lies in the spirit. Hence in men, free will is an intricate ability of their spirits. It neither lies in the various cloaks of earth man nor in his physical brain. The problem is that people search for free will in the brain. In reality, the human brain does not possess free will and hence if left on its own, will always choose that which is material. The brain being material will always chose only that which of its material benefit; it has no say when spirituality or morality is involved because these originate from a different world, a world beyond the perceptive or operative ability of the brain.

The spirit on the other hand originated from the spiritual world, which is part of the Kingdom of God and hence carries the ability to recognize the Will of God in any situation. Since based on the laws creation, success among any species can only be achieved by that species. Hence, in other for the spirit to successfully navigate or live in the world of matter, it has to use material tools. The physical brain is one of such tools that is given to the spirit in the world of matter. The brain remains a tool that should serve the spirit. But unfortunately mankind gave their brains the ruling position, neglecting their conscience or intuitive perception, which is the voice of their spirits and which should rule over the brain. Hence majority of mankind no longer make use of their free-will, they have buried it. Anybody that has subjected himself totally only to his intellect (which is the voice of his brain), while neglecting his intuitive perception, has already buried his free-will or does not make use of his free-will.

The first time the spirit descended into matter, its free will was pure and unsoiled. It then started to decide which material direction, actions, or radiations to indulge in. The spirit is free to decide but is irrevocably subject to the consequences of its decision. This way, the spirit makes its fate or destiny. However, over indulgence in impure radiations can soil the spiritual free will, making it develop a propensity for such radiations. This way the spirit voluntarily, out of laziness or over-indulgence, clamps or hinders its free-will.

I will analogize this with the case of a drug addict who at the beginning, before his addition had the complete power of free-will to decide to accept the drug or not to accept it. If it decides to accept it and indulges in it everyday, overtime he becomes addicted. At this point he has cramped, restricted, weakened, or even lost the power of his free-will in the face of that drug. Whenever it is given to him, he cannot say no because he no because of his addiction. Observing such a person at this point, the observer may erroneously conclude that this drug addict has no free-will. But the reality is that he had, and he chose to throw it away!
Hence many human spirits due to over indulgence in certain material enjoyments have developed propensity for such enjoyments. Even their spirits have become soiled by this enjoyment, and hence their spiritual power to say no to such enjoyments has weakened. Propensity is an addiction by the spirit for anything material. It must also be emphasized that propensity or addition can only soil the outermost part of the spirit, but the core of a spirit always remains pure and always knows the will of God. No spirit can efface this ability to know the will of God, it is an intrinsic part of the spirit; and hence makes the spirit guilty whenever it sins. It simply cannot say that it does not know any better. Rather he can only say that he has, out of propensity, weakened his power to act otherwise or his power to follow the will of God. It is the fiction between this innermost pure part of the spirit and the addiction clinging to its outer part that people often experience as inner struggle when they are about to do evil or in the face of it.

To such a person, help from outside does not violet his free-will, since inwardly he longs to regain his strength. Imagine a drug addict who goes to seek help from a therapist in a drug rehabilitation center. The core of his motive is to regain the power to refuse the drug, to lose his addiction. Yet inside the rehabilitation center, when the desire for the drug kicks in, he will want to run out to the street to get the drug; at this point the therapist grabs him and restrains him or ties him up. To the onlooker, it appears as if the therapist is interfering with this man’s free-will, but in reality no! The therapist is actually acting in accord with the man’s free-will which is to lose that addiction, and which at the moment was silenced by the hunger for the drug. In reality, the therapist is helping the man’s will to be free again; while his desire(to take the drug) at the moment, which appears to be his will is actually enslaving his will. His will is that which emanates from the core of his spirit!

The second group of people who have buried their free-will are those who I described earlier as having subjected themselves only to the their intellect. They no longer pay any attention to their intuition or conscience, the voice of their spirits in which lies the free-will. They only live in their brains, and since the brain does not have free-will, being material it is subject to the material only and can only understand material benefits, these materialist have buried their free-will. Their choice will always be that which is thought out by the brain, with no bearing to conscience or the Will of God. Such people may appear normal, even good people here on earth. But even the good they do is based on intellectual material benefit and has no involvement of their spirits. Hence their works only manifests in phantoms in the beyond and can bring neither them nor mankind any real spiritual benefits. These are lost ones.

About the law of reciprocal effect: One thing that we often forget is that it is not the gross material action per se, that activates or sets in the spiritual law of reciprocal action. What activates the law of reciprocal action at the spiritual level is our spirits, our intuitive perceptions. Hence the gross-material physical action is not always necessary to activate the law of reciprocal action. Indeed the physical action is of the least importance. The most important thing that determines the nature of the reciprocal action is the spiritual intuition. We have been influenced by eastern religions to believe that Karma is, for example: when you slap someone today, later, either in this life of next life, another person will slap you and that’s the end. And if you never slap anybody, nobody will ever slap you. This is a rough picture but doesn’t really correspond to the Truth. The Truth is that you don’t really need to physically slap someone in order to incur a karma that may result in someone slapping you. The moment you decide in your heart, in your spirit to become such barbaric person that can slap others, you have set in place the laws of reciprocal action, even if you never get the opportunity to slap someone physically.

A man, for example, who is brutal will radiate brutality which will act as a channel or road through which brutality will return to him in due season. Everything in creation is cyclic, and hence seasonal. Like a man who planted a Mango tree in his compound, every season, his compound will be littered with mango fruits dropped by the tree. Like a radio tuned to a particular wavelength or radio station, every day that the station sends signals, this radio will receive it. As long as this man is tuned to the wavelength of brutality, he will receive brutality every season, even if he has never had the opportunity to act in a brutal manner to his fellow humans. Hence it is not physical action that initiates Karma, but it is rather the spiritual condition or volition that propelled the action. This volition is most decisive in the nature of the reciprocal action that will result. Hence never judge from outward physical actions! Power centers in the beyond where homogenous forms accumulate and form a plane, either ugly or beautiful, can be viewed as radio transmitting stations. Each power center, be it for good or evil, sends out rays which strike all that is homogenous on earth.

A person who harbors brutality in his spirit will receive blows of brutality every season even if he has never been physically brutal to another person. Likewise a man who harbors rape in his heart, who indulges in extreme sexual lustfulness, will receive such barbaric treatment in due season, even though outwardly he is decent and may never consider actually raping a woman. But before the laws of creation he is as guilty as one who has actually physically indulged in rape. The fact that they both receive the same karma is proof enough that before these law both of them are the same.

You already know that the spirit is attractive of all that is homogenous to it! All that is spiritual is attractive; spiritual radiation is actually noting but power of attraction. Hence a spirit that is homogenous to anything be it good or bad, will attract that thing when its season comes. Hence we are given the precious advice to ‘keep the heart of our thoughts pure!’ Since the spirit is the most decisive and only truly living part man, it happens that that which fills the spirit or that which the spirit radiates also presses towards being acted out physically.

And suffering under karma doesn’t end the karma! You don’t pay off or be free from a certain karma by suffering from it like eastern religions have made us believe. As long as you remain unrepentant, which is tantamount to remaining in that wavelength, or remaining homogenous to the current of that karma, every season, through this homogeneity, you will receive blows from that karma. Hence one can suffer for a karma for thousands of years. Hence it follows from the law of attraction of homogenous species that one does not really need to wait to receive blows of fate from karma to be free from it. If the individual repents and changes inwardly before the due season of the karma, during the season he will be spared heavy blows of fate. Like a radio switched to a different frequency or different station, due to lack of homogeneity it is no longer subject to the influence of other stations. Rather than giving him a hard blow of fate, the reciprocal action, having being terribly weakened by the change in the man will only prompt him to voluntarily do something that corresponds to the nature of the karma. For example, a former thief who would have lost millions had he remained a thief, will voluntarily give a beggar a thousand dollars. This will then mark the total end of the karma for him.

This is why the son of God, Jesus kept urging us to change, be become born again, hence to become totally new and pure. Abdrushin said the same with the words, “Keep the heart of your thoughts pure.” One has changed completely as to be pure will only be homogenous to the centers of purity in creation and hence is certain to be freed from all karma as they will no longer find homogenous path to him.

Also, not all suffering that people go through on earth is as a result of their karma or previous wrong doing. What makes the physical plane, to which the earth belongs, unique is that both good and evil can dwell side by side on earth. This is totally impossible in the ethereal realms and above. This peculiarity of the physical plane is the it offers the bad ones opportunity to learn from the good; but the drawback is that it also allows the bad to do their evil to the good too. Hence a man good man, who has no karma, on earth, can be physically attacked or physically harmed by his wicked neighbor. Hence the beheading of John the Baptist was not as a result of any karma of his; neither was the suffering and crucifixion of Jesus a consequence of any wrong doing from Him. However, before coming to earth, they were fully aware of this possibility and likelihood, yet out of love for God, the Truth, and humanity, they accepted it; and hence, they cannot blame God for it.

Also, the laws of reciprocal action does not need necessarily humans to work or carry out its function. It can work out its reward or retribution in the absence of other humans. A brutal man deserving brutality, will receive brutality in due season irrespective of where he is on earth. Even if he is isolated in an island where there are no other human beings; if he deserved to be slapped, the tree under which he stands may fall and slap his check. Or his roof may fall and hit his check. He may miss his step and fall, slapping his check on the ground. He may even get so depressed that he will slap himself. By the same token, the good that a man deserves will come his way even if there is no body there to help him. Although in some cases humans are used to deliver these means because they correspond to the currents of karma. Hence a brutal man in your vicinity may end up delivering the brutality that your earned; or a benevolent man in your vicinity may become the channel through which the good you once did will flow back to you.

Thanks for your questions; my perceptions are as follows:

Speer:

Hello Justcool,
In the lecture The Stranger is this paragraph
At the exact hour, even before the end of this arduous time of learning, it came to pass that He met the Companion Who, as a Part of Him, was to journey with Him through earthly life, to participate in the great task according to Divine Ordinance. Herself a Stranger on earth, She joyfully entered the Will of God through Her own recognition, and gratefully merged with It, in order to become absorbed in it.
Please could you explain the "Who, as a Part of Him," part. And who is this female person? Or asked in another way who is this person and how is she connected/related to the Son of Man/Stranger.

The blessed lady mentioned above is the female counterpart of the stranger; a part of him that incarnated into a female vessel due to bisection. I have already mentioned this in two of my earlier replies to you.

To elucidate further: Imagine Imanuel the son of man at the Grail castle at the bother of the Divine realm, yet still within Divine realm; with the words “let there be Light” an annex was added to this Grail castle, and in the holy of holies of this annexing castle stands Parsifal as the first in creation. Only at distances, unimaginable to the human brain, from this annexing castle which is the highest point of Primordial creation, did the first Primordial spirits and beings came into being. Or in other words, the first plane or ring of Primordial spiritual could only come into being at a certain distance from Parsifal. And only from the first plane of creation or first plane of Primordial creation did polarity, bisection, or gender start. Hence, from the Grail castle upwards, there is no polarity as it exists in creation. The 24 elders in eternally joyful service at part of the castle within the Divine realm cannot be said to possess polarity either, they bear both the positive(active) and negative(passive) within them, and hence, can reflect the perfect cross of equal beams, the equilateral cross.

From the above illustration, one can deduce that Parsifal, by virtue of his high domain in the Grail castle, also poses both polarities! When it was granted by God the father for Him to descend into subsequent creation in other to get acquainted with the behavior and nature of human spirits, a volition of Parsifal took on form for this journey. As I already explained to you sometime earlier, a volition of a Divine being carries a part of that Divine being as its core. A volition of God, carries a part of God (Divine unsubstantiality) as its core. Hence Imanuel who is a volition(Let there be Light) of God, carries a part of God; Parsifal who is a volition(Let the Light be anchored) of Imanuel, likewise carries a part of Imanuel. Likewise, the volition of Parsifal that took on form, carries a Part of Parsifal. This volition of Parsifal also carries both polarities radiating the perfect equilateral cross.

In other to work actively on earth, He had to wear a physical body, which can only be male or female. And since His duty was active in nature, he had to wear a male physical body and in this condition, only the masculine(coarse or positive) component of Him had to be active during His stay on earth. And that which is Divine unsubstantiality which is inherently mobile cannot remain inactive; hence this manifested in a kind of inner struggle. The consequence was that a separation(bisection) between the male and female components occurred. The female component could not remain inactive, while the material bodies(cloaks) could only allow the activity of the masculine. Based on the law of attraction of homogeneous species, that which you do not use will be drawn away from you by a stronger person who uses it in the right manner. Hence after this earthly incarnation which happened over 3000 years ago, the feminine component or part of Him departed from Him and in other to prevent it from reabsorbing back to God through Parsifal and Imanuel, it was given a Divine vessel to incarnate on. In other words, granted by God the father, this female part of the son of Man was given a female Divine vessel(body) bearing the name Maria. A name that swings in the rhythm of Love; for being the more refined or delicate part, she was love. Later this part feminine part of the son of Man had to incarnate on earth too, as it could not be active on earth earlier. She incarnated in Troy as Princess Cassandra, in other to experience the earth and get acquainted with the human spirits, in preparation for her service on the Day of judgment.

This clears the puzzle and answers question that many people have struggled with. The question is: “Why didn’t Maria incarnate with Parsifal on earth during His(Parsifal’s) first incarnation on earth?” Or “Why did only Purity(Irmingard) known on earth then as Nahome accompany Him?” I also struggled with this question before what I’m explaining here was revealed to me. The answer is that at the time Parsifal incarnated for the first time on earth, the bisection that brought Maria into being had not happened. It was that incarnation that paved way for the bisection, blessed by God the father out of His boundless love, to occur.

Later when the son of God, Jesus, Who also carried both polarity in Him was about to incarnate on earth; upon passing through the Grail castle, the masculine component of Him proceeded further; while the feminine part which otherwise would have remained inactive was drawn into Maria where it will find full activity. From then onwards, Maria carried a part of Jesus and a part of Imanuel(Through Parsifal). Otherwise the resultant inner struggle of carrying an unexpressed part on earth would have made His mission more difficult. Or better said, the inner struggle that would have resulted in Jesus for carrying both components in a male physical body would have made his mission, which involved masculine activity on earth, difficult.

Later, when the stranger incarnated on earth to preach the word of the Father one last time before judgment, at the appointed time He came in contact with His female counterpart (Maria) who was also on earth that time. They joyfully entered into a holy marriage.


Speer:

Also from the same lecture is this:
At the precise moment, they came into contact with the Envoy, first through His Word, and then also personally... But many of them, although they sensed the Call, and intuitively perceived something unusual in their souls, had in the meantime in the course of their earth-life, permitted themselves to be so ensnared by purely earthly matters, and to some extent even by the Darkness, that they could not summon up the strength to conquer themselves for the true service, for the fulfillment of which they were permitted to come to the earth for this great time.
There were 144000 Called Ones incarnated (all over the earth I presume). Was it a condition that each individual one of them was to come into contact with the Son of Man during their sojourn on earth at that time?
Thanks.


I’m happy that you know that the 144000 Called ones (Germanic spirits) were incarnated all over the earth. They were to be found among all peoples of the earth; Some of them were whites, some blacks, etc. Some were Africans, some were Europeans, some Asians, Americans, etc. These were called ones and ideal representatives of all types of spirits. We use the term Germanic spirits, as Germans then were viewed as the prototypes and examples for humanity. Just as in the past era, in the bible era especially in the revelation of John, the word ‘Jews’ as used to describe the spiritually mature. Hence, when the word ‘Jew’ is mentioned in the revelation, one must not think that this refers only to the people of Israel. In spiritual matters, nationality is not important; the called ones are made up of individuals from different parts of the world.

It is also my perception that the 144000 Called ones were supposed to have come in contact with the Son of Man while He was on earth. These people were supposed to act as bridge between Him and the rest of mankind, for based on their spiritual talents they stand a better chance of understanding Him. I explained to you earlier, why a bridge is necessary between a higher being and the rest of humanity; otherwise based on the law of attraction of homogeneous species a lack of understanding is bound to ensure. They were equipped to draw more power from Him than the average human being could. But due to due failure or inability to draw, powers that sank into Him remained unused and based on the law of attraction of homogeneous species had to return, along with Him, back to their origin.

Had they not failed; then the judgment would have completed physically during the earth life of the Son of Man, and He, Himself would have initiated all who survived the judgment into the millennium. He Himself would have been the first ruler of mankind during the millennium; and after Him the Primordial hero(the Lion) will rule, after which many Primordial spirits will be sent to rule the earth till the end of the millennium when rulership will once more be handed to humanity.

But due to their failure, things resulted differently. But in the end the will of God will be fulfilled.

Thanks and remain blessed.

@latrust.
Thanks for your question. Yes, I can shed light on aGerald’s questions. I will cut his post in pieces in-order to share my perceptions on each point he raised.

aGerald:

I came to understand that animals are animistic, and after their maturity on earth return back to the animistic world.
Thus one soul for one animal quite ordinarily!

This is quite right. After an animal’s life in the worlds of matter, it returns the animistic world. But here maturity is not the prerequisite for such return, only purity! As the animal remains pure, indeed an animal cannot become impure of its own accord since it possesses no free-will, it is bound to be lifted up to the animistic world after its sojourn in the worlds of matter.
Each animal you see on earth possesses a soul as its animating core, a soul originating from the animistic world. However, after death, and after a longer or shorter stay in the beyond, they usually lose their personality and merge with a group of other souls homogeneous to them. Hence in the beyond there are group souls, a single entity of souls made up of animistic souls of the same homogeny.
Only a very close relationship, or link with a human spirit can modify the animal soul in such a way that after discarding its physical body, it can remain forever personal in the beyond or after returning to the animistic world. Such link can or relationship can only be attained through selfless love. If the animal, while on earth develops love for a human being, through this love greater energy will flow to its soul, making it able to bear the pressure of the beyond personally, and without needing to merge into a group soul. I have already mentioned this process in one of my replies to Speer.

aGerald:

What about those minority creatures, those one who don't even know they exist but all they do is cause destruction every where? There are so many of them.
It's funny to say they have a purpose on earth, and after that they return to the animistic.
They are so useless and I don't think they can participate in any thing at all in the luminous realms.

It depends on what you mean by minority creatures. Every creature that emerged from the Will of God, no matter how small is of great importance and hence should not be regarded as minority. If you can give me a name of one of such creatures, then we can examine their existence and purpose. And also, it depends of what you mean by destruction. Forms in the world or matter must pass through the funnel of disintegration at a point, they must be dissolved back to their primary substances, so as to be remodeled. Even with our physical bodies, there comes a time when they must totally be dissolved or disintegrated back to their primary elements which the earth recycles. The agents that help in the desolation, like bacteria, fungus and etc should not be viewed as useless or unimportant. Think about certain processes in your body, which your physical life depends on! Processes like digestion! Such would not be possible without the bacteria in your stomach and intestine that help in breaking down the food that you eat. Hence breaking down, dissolution, is a stage in the existence of all that is made of matter. All that is material goes through the four cardinal stages of (1)Birth, blossoming or childhood (2)Ripeness, maturity or adulthood, (3)Over-ripeness or old age, and (4)Death, decay or dissolution.

As to their(agents of dissolution like bacteria, fungus, etc) usefulness in the luminous realms, the solution to this puzzle is found in the fact that the luminous realms do not pass through the four stages mentioned above. Above the world of matter, forms last forever, neither growing old nor needing any dissolution; hence up there there are no bacteria, fungus, and etc.


aGerald:

Among these are the disease vectors.
Thus my question is: What drives these things? Is it God? The elementals? What is their purpose? Why do they exist(I'm not talking about the obviously useful ones)?

Everything in existence is driven by the power of God: Everything in existence drives its energy, sustenance, or its life directly of indirectly from the Will/Power of God. As there are no two Gods, all energy comes from God. Evil arises when this pure and neutral energy is used wrongly or in a manner opposed to the Will of God. Consequently, in forming evil a weakening is bound to occur, because this pure and neutral power comes from the Will of God which knows nothing but goodness. Hence in the end only that which stands in the Will of God will remain.

As to the purpose of such “agents of destruction” and also as to why they exist, I believe I have answered that already. In reality, there is nothing like a bad germ or a bad bacterium; all that emerged from the Will of God are good. The fact that even some of these good bacteria cause diseases today is solely due to the fault of man. It’s a consequence of the fall of man. Wherever you see evil, look for a creature possessing free-will and have misused it! In the case of diseases, it is man! Mankind has not only distanced themselves and their environment too far from the healthy region of light into the realm of darkness, they have also interfered with the healthy development of their bodies. Over centuries, our physical bodies became weaker than they were designed to be; and hence even bacteria that otherwise should have been harmless now possess a great risk to man!

Another consequence of the fall of man which distanced subsequent creation from the luminous realms, making subsequent creation inaccessible from the life-giving and purifying rays of light, is that it allowed things to form wrongly in the worlds of matter. Certain things that could not have been able to exist in the face of the rays of light from above, in absence of this light grew into ominous proportions. Let’s take Viruses for example! It is my perception that some of the very aggressive and dangerous viruses in existence today could not have come into existence if the earth had never deviated from its right course and sank into darkness. Just as your legs or any part of your body will swell up and start to decay if cut off from the healthy flow of blood. Man cut off his environment from the healthy life-giving blood(light of God) and consequently his environment became heavier and darker, allowing malformations to arise!

Think about HIV for example! Some scientists believe that HIV has always been with monkeys or chimpanzees. To monkeys they are harmless, perhaps even beneficial. But very dangerous to humans as once they infect a person man they begin to systematically shut down the person’s immune system. The question now arises: How did they jump species, from monkeys to humans? A walk in the street of the so called civilized countries or attention to the news will easily afford one with the answer to this question. Man’s bad habit and unnatural behavior! Every day we see these humans who kiss your dogs, let their dogs lick their faces! This is unnatural closeness to animals which is common in the western world is against the laws of creation as they categorize with sexual molestation. The other day a girl was arrested for having sexual intercourse with her dog! This is evil and totally lacking in genuine Love, since love is selfless and primarily directed towards the inner development of your neighbor; it does not require unnatural physical closeness. The consequence of such evil acts is that specie-specific germs(germs that are supposed to be found among one specie) gets the opportunity to jump from one specie to another. Since human did not evolve in the midst of such germs, their(human’s) immune system finds itself clueless as to how to deal with such infection.

Some may argue that the dangerous germ specie-jumping could have resulted from animal’s biting humans; hence the fault is with the over aggressiveness of animals. However, one who knows the laws of creation knows that even this over aggressiveness of animals towards humans is a consequence of the fall of man.

aGerald:

Does a germ have a personal soul of it's own? Where do they go to after their cycle? And in fact, what is really the untold purpose of the animal?

From what I said above, one can deduce that these germs, especially those that did not emerge from the Creator’s Will do not have souls of their own.

But the writer of Grail Message was kind enough to have given us a key in the message, a key to knowing how to tell things that have mobile cores (souls) and those that do not. In the Grail Message we a given a clue that things that are immobile, like plants, rocks, mountains, etc do not have souls(mobile cores) of their own. In this clue we can also see the perfect love and Justice that is evident in all that issues from the Will of God, as a soul having an immobile body will be unfair to such a soul since it cannot escape when attacked! Hence, anything that does not have the ability to move freely away from one place to another does that have a soul of its own even if such things are classified as living things. Trees, plants, flowers are all living things, as classified by science, but they do not have souls of their own as they are rooted on their environments and cannot escape it even when attacked. However, they can act as housings or dwellings of entities.
Viruses, for example, are totally out of the question because they cannot even be properly classified as living things. And they are totally not self-mobile; and can’t jump, of themselves, from one host to another or from one place(environment) to another. Hence they definitely do not have souls of their own. Most microbes, bacteria, fungus, etc do not have self-mobility. They are confined to their environment and cannot move away from it of their own accord. I know they can move and multiply within that environment, but this type of movement is different as they cannot leave that environment when it is attacked or in danger. If a bacterium or many bacteria are confined in a sample of water or blood, they can only move and grow within that sample of water or blood and cannot move out it by themselves; hence, in my perception they lack the mobility that is prerequisite for a creature to have a soul of its own. Most single sell microbes and organism lack this ability and hence do not have souls of their own. Think about the gametes, for example. Nobody in his right mind will consider a sperm cell to have a soul of its own. Its mobility is confined within the seminal fluid that contains it.

The fact that they do not have souls of their own already solves to puzzle of where they go after their cycle. They are not really alive in the first place, and never had that consciousness that can go on living after death.

aGerald:

And in fact, what is really the untold purpose of the animal?

This question is like asking, “What is really the untold purpose of man?” Or the color Blue asking, “what is really the untold purpose of the color Red?”
Both colors are components of the light spectrum. Likewise, both man and animal are components of the radiation of God. Just as the white light separates into components when slowed down by a glass prism, the radiation of God separated into components when it was allowed to go beyond the immediate vicinity of God; In cooling down the radiation of God separated into five basic species:- Primordial spiritual, Spiritual, animistic, ethereal, and gross material. Man originated from the spiritual component of the radiation, while animals originated from the animistic component of the radiation.
This cooling down, which initiated the separations into components, was an act of the Love of God, in that it allows creatures to arise from the components and partake in the joy on conscious living.
All creatures are in this creation to experience supreme joy that results from living in the Love and Justice of God. Like a gigantic system of gears, each component is a link that is necessary for a healthy flow of Love and Justice from one plane to another. Hence each must love and respect the other and not selfishly do him any harm; none is more important than the other.
Hence when one fails, he suffers, as well as others, especially those below him. So far only the human spiritual had failed in his task, and have consequently plunged himself, his material environment, and animals into unnecessary suffering.

Thanks and remain blessed.

Speer:

Could you please explain the last para. How do inherent intrinsic attributes/capabilities (even though undeveloped) of a germ separate out of a germ (supposedly indivisible)?

Also, could not quite practically understand the 'find each other again to become whole" aspect.

Thanks


Thanks for your question. I’m sorry for my late reply, I was in another period of retreat. I’m glad that you read that edition of the lecture. You will see that it’s deeper than the watered-down version as it makes it very clear that the spirit germ carries both qualities(positive and negative), and hence genderless at the beginning of its development. This issue is the bone of contention in this thread.

Attributes/capabilities such as male and female, in the spiritual sense must not be looked at as just capabilities that has no substance causing it. To make myself clearer, lets observe the physical, which is a very coarse refection of the ethereal which in turn is a reflection of the spiritual. Every ability our physical body possess has a physical organ or systems of organs that are responsible for it. The bases of our thinking are our brains which are organs in our physical bodies, a tangible physical part of our physical bodies. Likewise the bases of our vision is our eyes; if we close our eyes and don’t use our vision for centuries, our eyes will become stunted and in due time we may lose that part of our body. Think about your muscles, the bases of your ability to lift heavy weights. If you go to the gym everyday and lift weights, your muscles will grow in size, but if you stop after a while you will lose some of your muscles fibers! Even though lifting weight is an ability, but what you loses or gain depending on how you use this ability is physical and tangible. Hence for every ability in the physical world, there is a physical tangible organ that is the bases of it. Even the ability of capability/ attributes of male and female is very hormonal based; in the absence of certain hormones(ie estrogen) the body cannot be female.

As above so below! Hence even in the spiritual, the ability of a spirit to act in a positive(Masculine) or negative(feminine) way has a spiritually tangible bases. There is a part of the spiritual body that enables this activity. This is the part that separates from the spirit germ and incarnates into another vessel when it is not being used at all. But this separation(bisection) is not common among human spirit germs. With human spirit germs, usually it is not a question of being purely(totally) masculine or purely(totally) feminine, rather it is a question of being predominantly masculine or predominantly feminine. Hence even males among human spirits still posses an element of the feminine in a dormant state. Hence humans spirit germs don’t usually bisect, the basses of the gender not expressed remains in them but in a dormant or stunted way. Some spirit germs, as they descend into matter or during their first few incarnations, they switch from feminine to masculine or vice versa; this is so as to experience all the qualities(attributes/capabilities) that the spirit germ carries. Once these qualities(attributes/capabilities) are developed to certain extent, the bases of them can no longer separate from the spirit; they will remain with the spirit but in dormant or almost inactive way. Just as all humans have both testosterone and estrogen, but men have more testosterone and women have more estrogen. Hence physically all humans have the physical bases for masculinity and femininity, it depends on the amount which determines the gender.

From the 1931 edition we read:
“Hence it happens that a human spirit quite frequently wanders through its lives on earth alternately in male and female bodies, depending on its changing inner attitude. And this is necessary so that all the capabilities of a spirit germ are developed gradually.”

The last sentence, bolded by me, was removed from the 1941 three volume edition and replaced with:

“But this is an unnatural condition, brought about by a stubborn and violent distortion!” (http://grailmessage.com/en/volume-two/sex)

However, the removed sentence offers us a great insight and gives no room for the popular misconception to arise, the misconception that the spirit germ even before descending into matter was polarized. The deleted sentence offers us the knowledge that the germ all both (masculine and feminine) capabilities.

However, it is possible for a spirit germ—although very rare among human spirit germs—to develop only one capability(gender) all and not developing the other at all. In which case, the bases(tangible spiritual substance or part of the germ) of undeveloped gender will, separate from the rest of the germ. The germ becomes bisected! This second part being feminine or masculine, based on the law of attraction of homogenous species, will incarnate or get enveloped in a body corresponding to its nature. This process repeats itself or manifests in the formation of the physical body, where sometimes a zygote bisects and separates into two: Twins!

It is understandable that these spiritual twins(Bisected spirit germs) will find each other on, based on the law of attraction of homogeneous species. Such on meeting each other will most likely desire to enter into wedlock. Such couple, as long as karma doesn’t make it impossible may become husband and wife in all or most of their earthly incarnations. Hence we hear stories of some couples have discovered that they were couples even in many past previous earth lives. However, bisection is not the only thing that can make a couple find each other and marry again in another earth live; other things like threads of fate can do the same. Also threads of fate can or karma can make it impossible for two (man and woman) from one bisected germ not to marry. However, where no karma forbids it, they will most likely meet each other on earth or be born in the same environment.

Bisection is more common in the higher plans than with human spirit germs. All the male Primordial spirits have female versions or female counterparts. For example, the male Primordial spirit, Is-ma-el (John the Baptist), on the fifth step of the Primordial spiritual, counting from above, has a female counterpart. In all parts of the original creation, wherever there is spiritual activity, there is always polarity at that same level, hence two spirits, a male one and a female one, working together in harmony. And these two are bisected! They both swing in the same radiation, only that the female leads upwards in her activity with one foot in the higher plane and the other in the lower plane, while the male leads sideways and downwards. In their coming into being, one takes on form immediately from the radiation of God, and from the one that has taken on form, the other component, or unused component separates itself and taken on form too. This is how they were created. And during earthly missions, both counterparts are sent, they meet each other again on earth and swing together in their working so that the physical swinging will not be lacking in any form. Hence when John the Baptist was on earth at the time of Jesus, his(John’s) female counterpart was on earth too. And they did meet each other, but they never entered into earthly union(marriage) because of certain circumstances that I will not mention here.

There is also polarity in the substantiate, only that they don’t manifest at the same level. Hence in the substantiate there each plane or field of activity is either filled with female substantiate or male substantiate. For example, the substantiate being Venus(Aphrodite) has no male counterpart. Mars, who the ancient often mistake to be her counterpart swings in a totally different radiation.

Another instance of bisection that is worthy of mentioning is the case of Jesus and Imanuel. Jesus coming from God can be analogized as a divine unsubstantiate seed or germ that carries both polarity fully active in Him; same can be said of Imanuel. Imanuel, on entering creation, bisection had to occur, the feminine component of Him had to separate, since in Creation He could only operate through his masculine component. The feminine part of Him received a vessel(Maria) in the Divine substantiate sphere. The same happened with Jesus, and based on the law of attraction of homogenous species, His feminine component was attracted and also anchored in Maria; Hence Maria caries a part of Jesus and a part of Imanuel.

bossmini84:
Going by the grail message then God is the most unjust God. How u punish someone without letting the person know his crime.

@bossmini84

First of all, God does not punish anybody. The law of reciprocal action is for the benefit of all creatures, in that it gives each cook a taste of the food he/she cooked or is cooking for others. This only helps the chef become a better cook. When a chef cooks bitter soup and is given a taste of it, he should blame no one but himself. Even if he had forgotten that he once served others bitter soup, it makes no difference; the fact that he found bitter soup left in the pot in his kitchen is enough to remind him that he once cooked it, since he shares his kitchen with no other.

Your premise shows lack of confidence in the incorruptibility of God. The fact that God is letting you go through certain situations should be enough evidence that you deserve to go through that situation, if you really believe that God is incorruptible. If my mother tells me that I owe her a dollar, I won’t rack my brain trying to remember when I borrowed it. I will quickly give it back to her and assume that I had forgotten when I borrowed it. This is childlike trust and confidence, an attitude each creature must develop towards God if it wishes to succeed. And that forgetfulness, which by the way is totally my fault, should not exempt me from paying my debt.
Any Karma knocking on your door simply means that you have done something in the past; for there can be no reaction without action. And the nature of the reaction tells you the nature of the preceding action; hence in the nature of your suffering lies what you have done in the past. Even this is enough “letting the person know his crime”; but it goes further than that, indeed God made it in such a way that the individual is always fully reminded of his karma. But this is not always the case today due to the sin of man.

We are spirits, and our spirits are always fully aware of all that it has done and hence not surprised when the reactions return. But due to the fall of man, mankind now live only with their brains, neglecting and turning a deaf ear to their intuitive perception/conscience, which is the voice of their spirit. Many no longer remember that they are spirits, they see themselves as only their physical bodies. They rely heavily on their intellect which is a product of their brain which in turn is a part of their physical bodies. Overtime the intellectual brain grow disproportionally large, due to over usage; while the back brain which is responsible for picking up impressions from the spirit became stunted. The back brain became feeble and mankind could no longer hear or recognize the voice of their spirit; hence they cut themselves off from all that is spiritual including the knowledge of all their past actions which is recorded in their spirit. The brain only lasts a life time, and at best can only remember all that happens in that life time; but then when the body dies, this memory disintegrates with the brain. Yet the spirit retains all the lessons it learnt on that lifetime and all that it did. Now in the next incarnation, equipped with a new physical body and along with it a brain, the individual does not remember its past lives and past doings because he lives only with his brain, neglecting his spirit. He goes on living only with his brain, never considering the voice of his spirit; yet when reactions from past life returns he blames God for not reminding him! The truth is that his spirit never forgot, but he never paid attention to his spirit! If he had lived like God intended mankind to live then he would have lived spiritually or with his spirit, only using his intellect as a tool that is not part of his real ego. This way nothing will be a surprise to him, he will recognize as everything progresses gradually in the unfolding of God’s love and justice. He will not live like an ignorant animal, but like a knowledgeable human spirit who can survey all processes in subsequent creation. This will hasten his spiritual maturity and he will in a few earth lives be ripe for Paradise.

But rather than living with their spirits, mankind turned a deaf ear to their spirits, they by walling themselves off the spiritual world, or Paradise where there is a portal for all knowledge. The separated this world(the physical) from the beyond. Hence prophets were sent to them to warn them to awaken spiritually. Later the son of God Himself came in love and advised them to serve God in truth and in Spirit. Hence spiritualize the work of their hands or awaken their spirits. But majority refused to awaken spiritually; they rather go on living only physically. Yet when the reaction of what they did with a previous physical body returns to them, they claim that God is punishing them for what they don’t remember doing. Awaken your spirit and pay attention to your intuitive perception and you will recognize that you fully deserve all that you are going through; in some cases where it is necessary your past will be show to you; then rather than sorrow, you will be filled with gratitude. This I have experienced. I have been allowed to see why my relationship with a particular individual had to go the way they it did; of course the cause lay in a previous earth-life. With this knowledge, what used to cause me pain became a source of Joy.

Imagine the situation of a student who go to school every day and copy his lecture notes on his clothes. The next day he comes in new clothes and hence couldn’t access the lectures he copied the previous day. And when asked a question about the previous day’s lecture, he accused the teacher of asking him what he has never been taught! Is this student justified for blaming his teacher for tasking him about what he has forgotten? Who’s fault is it that he forgot yesterday’s lecture? If he had learned to absorb with his brain or copy his lectures on a notebook he carries every day, he will easily access yesterday’s lectures and no question from yesterday would be a surprise to him; hence he will never forget. By the same token, they physical body along with the brain is a cloak you put on at the beginning of every earth-life, and lay aside at the end of that particular earth-life. Wouldn’t it be wiser to learn or experience with your spirit, your ego, rather than your cloak which is very temporal. What you lean only with your cloak, you will lose at the end of the particular earth-life, it will decompose along with your brain when you die. Only the lessons that penetrate your spirit, your innermost core, do you carry over into the beyond.

Yet despite this, there are certain things that will remain undisclosed to the individual in order not to discourage him: This is due of the love of God! Imagine recollecting that you were the emperor Nero in your past live? Wouldn’t you lose all hope of salvation? Hence in some cases the individual striving towards the Light is prevented from recollecting certain things that may discourage him. Yet when he is strong enough to deal with them without being discouraged or when he had already paid for them, they will be shown to him. This time they will encourage rather than discourage.

Hence it is both wrong and a waste of time to resort to occult means in order to recollect your past lives. Such occult practices are dangerous and may prove disastrous to spiritual accent. The individual may succeed in lifting a veil that covered some things in the past that he was not yet ready to deal with. And most of the times what is achieved through occultist practices are never real but always a product of one’s own imaginations.

The individual should simply live a normal life but keeping fully in touch and in tune with his spirit or his intuitive perception or conscience. Simply lead your life according to the dictates of your conscience which is tantamount to living in accord with Christ’s teaching or the will of God, then everything you need will be given to you at the right time, including knowledge of your past actions.

Thanks and remain blessed

I was sealed to the Light today. Thanks be to God Almighty.
I want to appreciate everyone on this thread because this is where I got the encouragement to examine The Grail Message.
Thanks to Justcool, M-Nwankwo and all.

Congratulations! Always remember that with sealing it is not a matter of safe conduct, a sealed one can still fail.

Also being sealed does not automatically make you a member of any organization, movement or religion. The individual, whether sealed or not, remains responsible before God for all his actions.

Sealing endows you with strength to serve the Light(God) with your whole being; as long as you strive towards the Light, you will find strength to overcome all obstacles. However if your volition strays from striving towards God, the strength will depart from you and your connection to the Grail(the portal of God's power in Creation) will be lost.

Make use of what has been given to you.

Your destiny lies in your hands.

Remain blessed

latrust:
Hi justcool, pls i need you to clarify something for me. Its from the Grail message and the topic is " The worship of God", it says "The true worship of God is by obeying the laws of God". Now my question is which law is it talking about, is it the three fundamental law of nature or the Ten commandments? . Thanks, pls im waiting for your reply.

bsjay:

The ten commandments are like splittings from the three basic Laws as u said. I would also agree with a brother who likened the ten commandments to be ADVICE of a loving Father for His children. They are support and help to keep us on the right road. But the right understanding of the operation of the three basic Laws and strict adherence means everything. This is my opinion, those who know better than me will help further. Cheers



@ bsjay
Thanks for your answer which is in accord with the Truth.

@latrust
In addition to the reply given by bsjay, I will give further clarifications.

The three fundamental laws of creation explains to us how creation functions or operates; while the ten commandments of God tells us how to live in order not to be entangled, deterred, hurt, delayed, or destroyed by the three fundamental laws of creation of creation. If we live in compliance with the Ten Commandments, then the laws of creation will ennoble, free, and uplift us spiritually.

Imagine creation like an electronic equipment, lets take TV as an example. The three fundamental laws of creation are like the scientific principle through which the TV was built and through which it operates i.e. the circuit design of the TV; while the Ten Commandments are the manual which tells you how to use or operate the TV. An engineer may need only the circuit design of the TV to know how to operate it safely, but a layman needs the manual. In the manual it may say, RULE NO 1: Never pour water into the TV, clean with dry rags but never we rags. This is an advice that the operator of the TV must follow in order not to get hurt, hurt others, or spoil the TV; it may appear as a commandment to him which he must follow to please the manual writer. But the engineer knows that this Rule stems from the fact that the TV uses 240 volts (electricity) and from the principle or law that water conducts electricity. Hence he knows that one pouring water into such an appliance, will not only destroy it, but stands a great danger of getting electrocuted. Another rule in the manual may say, "Never unscrew or open the back of the TV." Once again this rule is to prevent the layman from coming into contact with electricity, which is very fatal.


In the above analogy, the circuit design can be likened to the three fundamental laws of creation. It shows the principles, the intrinsic abilities of all that exists in creation, the power that sustains creation and the unavoidable or immutable operations of creation. While the rules or instructions in the operative manual of the TV can be likened to the Ten Commandments. They advise us on how to live our lives in order to succeed and not destroyed by the immutable operations of creation.

The Ten Commandments were given to the Jews of that time who had been slaves all their lives, and hence not learned. That was all they could understand at that time; it would have been futile trying to teach them the fundamental laws of creation because they would not have understood it; understanding creation involves inflexible and objective weighing and examining the world around them. Having being slaves all their lives, they knew not how to question or think for themselves objectively; they only knew how to follow rules and commandments, as their Egyptian masters had drilled this into them. As a slave, they had to always obey the commandment of their masters even at the expense of their own conscience; and over time they become accustomed to disregarding their own conscience. Hence, given their situation, they could benefit more from commandments; the best way to approach them was through giving them rules and commandments. Masters think for themselves, slaves obey rules; and the Jews of that time were slaves. Actually, the majority of mankind at that time were, generally speaking, were not yet ready to understand the fundamentals laws of creation.
The Ten Commandments were meant to guide them towards achieving that maturity to investigate and think for themselves, to investigate why they must follow the commandments. They should have, after being set free from Egypt, as time went by, gradually cast off all shackles of slavery, and regained their humanness and become free independent human beings. A free human being has a God-given urge to question and investigate and arrive at his own perception of the Truth. They should have put the Ten Commandments into scrutiny and through this they would have discovered the three fundamental laws of creation themselves.
If one puts the Ten Commandments to scrutiny, the first thing he may discover is that each of these commandments are always in accord with his conscience! Then he will go further to discover that each time he acts against his conscience, hence disobey the commandment—for example, each time he lies—he feels guilty afterwards. And this “feeling” of guilt always involves certain heaviness, sometimes allowing him to sink into despair, be it only in his feeling. At the same time he notices that each time he follows his conscience and does something pious, like saying the Truth at all cost, afterwards he feels a certain sense of lightness which always accompanies great inner happiness. Now he knows that lying, acting against his conscience, or breaking one of the Ten commandments envelops him or “his mind” with heaviness leaving despondent; while honesty, compliance with his conscience, or obedience to the commandment “Thou shalt not lie,” feels with a an uncanny feeling of lightness, nobility, raising him towards bliss. Has this man not discovered the law of spiritual gravitation? Evil weighs down while good uplifts! This is law of spiritual gravity! And in the impression that either lying or speaking the Truth makes on his mind, conscience, or soul, has he not observed the law of action and reaction! Has he not realized that everything he does, be they good or evil, has a corresponding reaction on him that registers in his mind, either raising him high, or allowing him to sink? This is the law of reciprocal action.
This is universal to all mankind; everybody has a prick of conscience when he does evil and a feeling of piousness or lightness when he does good! Although some people have learned to endure so many pricks of conscience that it appears normal to them. They have learned to live in darkness.

But unfortunately majority of mankind never regained their free-will or freedom to question. The religionists came along to continue to enslave mankind by telling people never to question the commandments. And always to follow even those commandments they cannot unite with their conscience. Had most people put the commandments to scrutiny like I described above, then the realization that the Ten Commandments are all in accord with their conscience would have been their greatest guard against deception. If one realizes that a commandment from God cannot go against his(the individual’s) conscience or the voice of his spirit, then he can easily filter out all the lies and deceptions added to the commandments and scriptures. He will never agree that God will reward him with seventy virgins for killing his fellow man. Such a person will not believe that God will kill His innocent son as payment for the sins of guilty mankind. Each man’s conscience rebels against such teachings, but through religious indoctrination people are coerced to disregard their conscience, and never to question the commandments and the scriptures.

Hence, from all that has been said on this issue, to obey the laws of creation or to live in accord with them is synonymous to obeying the Ten Commandments. One, who fully understands the laws of creation, will voluntarily live in such a way as not to be hampered by them, he will live in accord with the Ten Commandments. This also means living in accord with one’s own conscience.

Thanks and remain blessed

Hello Justcool,
Thanks for your much-valued replies.
Had an inquiry on the treatment of animals. The Abrahamic faiths Judaism and Islam both have stipulations on how to dispatch animals (for food). As a side note, Christianity does not. I know of one Asian faith where it stipulates to kill animals by a sudden and massive blow to the head so that death is instantaneous. As all these rules are actually meant to prevent cruelty to the animal and make its death more humane, had wanted to ask what are the ramifications of doing the opposite wrt the Creation Laws?
Animals do not produce 'forms" in Creation so what kind of negative energies are released in Creation by our ill-treatment of them individually or collectively?
Merci

You are right that the traditions and stipulations on killing animals are aimed to prevent cruelty and excessive suffering for the animal soul. Indeed if done correctly, as ordained by the creator's will, animals will not suffer at all while being killed; the pain of separation of body and the soul will be very little or not totally absent.

However, overtime these stipulations became empty traditions and no longer correctly done. Always, traditions soon became religious ordinances and outward forms which are followed without understanding the purpose for which they were given. Soon, they simply became demands from God which man must not seek to understand, and which he must just follow otherwise he will incur God’s wrath and God will throw him into hell.
On the contrary, all commandments and traditions resulting from them must be fully understood; the purpose for which they are given fully grasped. It is not wrong, but actually the duty of man to ask himself, “why does God want me to do this?” And where he cannot find an answer that harmonizes with his intuition(conscience) and sense of Justice, he must stay away from such practices.
God does not give us commandments that we must fulfill so as not to incur His wrath. In reality God has no commandments! He wishes that we freely use our free-will! He wishes that man must follow his own way(man’s own way), by utilizing his free-will; otherwise He(God) would not have given us free-will. And only what a man does freely from his free-will, without being forced or coerced, brings him benefit; only such will be decisive for his ascent or fall, for his destruction or eternal living. All else are a waste of his time, the consequence of which will react more heavily on the one that forces or coerces him to act in such a manner.
What we call commandments of God are well meant advices that God gives us out of love. Advices which if followed bring benefit and ultimately everlasting life to the spirit; and which if neglected cause harms, injury, delay or even death of the spirit. When parents say, “Do not play with fire!” No adult, who knows the consequences of playing with fire, would consider such kind words a commandment from parents to children; rather he will consider it a well meant advice. Hence, based on his knowledge of the consequences of playing with fire, out of his free-will he will not play with fire. Hence when he is fulfilling the “commandment” he is actually following his own free-will, his own will. But a child who does not know the consequences of playing with fire, will consider advice from its parents to be a commandment. It’s a burdensome decree to him for he thinks fire will make a beautiful toy to play with. As long as he carries this fascination with playing with fire, he can only obey a commandment and not make use of his free will! Such obedience does not bring him spiritual benefit for it is only an outward form, inwardly he still lust for playing with fire. This is how we humans approach and obey the so called commandments of God, but it is wrong.
It will be better for such a child to question and investigate, only this will mature him to see this advice in the right perspective. Perhaps he may need to carry out the desire of playing with fire, this desire that is burning within him. And when he does so, he will be burnt! And immediately he will recognize the danger of playing with fire! And hence forth he will, out of his own free-will always choose not to play with fire again. Only at this point has he developed the right view of the commandment which at this point he will no longer consider a burdensome commandment but a well meant advice. An advice which fully unites with his own will; hence when he follows this advice, he follows his own will.
Commandments are binding and they can only issue from a dictator who disrespects man’s free-will, never from God! All that comes from God can only be freeing to the spirit of man and never binding!

Let us take an example. In Islam, the Muslim is given the “commandment” to pray and invoke the name of God(Allah) before killing an animal for food. And this killing is usually done by cutting that animals throat with a very sharp knife and letting is bleed. Some forms of killing, such as strangulation which doesn’t involve bleeding, are forbidden.
One who knows the laws of creation knows that the so called “commandment” above is indeed an advice of priceless value. If done with understanding and the right intuition only blessings will ensure for both the animal and man killing the animal. The prayer prepares the animal killer and fills him with love for God. One who loves God can also only love His creatures too. Hence the man is reminded that the animal about to be killed is a creature of God as much as he(the man) is! This realization or this intuitive perception is enough to stifle all brutality, and hence even when he cuts he is filled with love for the creator and the animal. Already this intuitive perception takes on form in the beyond, forming a path through which love and strength flows to both the man and the animal soul about to be killed, greatly strengthening it.
Cutting with a very sharp knife is very important because it ensures that the animal does not suffer too much due to the pain of the cut. And cutting the throat ensures, also, that the animal bleeds a lot faster; major veins and arteries travel along the neck, close to the throat, which cannot be cut without cutting these veins and arties. Letting the animal bleed out is extremely important too, one who knows the mystery and the function of blood will not overlook this important procedure. It is the radiation of the blood that binds the soul to the physical body! Hence as long as the blood remains intact, the soul still suffers and feels all that the body feels even after the body has died. But when the animal is allowed to bleed out, soon that connection between the soul and the physical body is broken; as long as the physical body is devoid of blood, the soul feels nothing anymore from it. This is also the same with humans; and this is why the soul cannot escape feeling the pains of organ harvest or organ extraction for transplanting. In organ transplanting, the removal of the organ has to be done with the blood is still fresh and in the body, hence such a procedure will be as painful as harvesting or cutting out an organ from a living man. The pain must be unbearable!
Today, Muslim who does not know the laws of creation and hence why these practices where instituted may outwardly perform the rites while killing an animal, but his rites will fail bring the desired benefits because they are only outward forms which does not carry life(intuitive perception). He doesn’t realize that his prayer should radiate love and strength to the creature about to be killed. He thinks he just has to recite his prayer in order for Allah not to throw him into hell. Hence he may even be filled with hatred and ingratitude towards the animal as he prays. Hence the poor creature about to be slaughtered will receive no strength and the help of compose to help it in its transition. When he invokes that name of Allah before cutting, he gives no humble thankful intuition or thought to the Creator who in His love has given humans the grace of feeding from the animal body. He may cut the throat without letting the animal bleed out enough in order for the animal to remain heavy and hence cost more. Yet afterwards, he will give himself airs, believing that he has fulfilled the commandment of Allah!
The procedure of allowing the animal to bleed is found almost in all cultures. Even in Igbo culture! I have, as a child, witness them kill goats and cows. The neck of the animal is usually placed over a bucket and cut, then the animal is held till it bleeds out.
When this procedure is skipped as it is done today in many mechanized and industrial farms, it happens that after death, for days the animal is still closely connected to the physical body. And through this connection, it feels the pain of whatever the physical body is being subjected to. Hence it feels the pains of the body being cut to pieces which usually follows after death.
An animal that is strangled and left, for example, it bound to suffer a lot and be delayed. Its soul will remain attached to the body until the blood congeals and starts to decay, only then can it be freed from the decomposing body. This is unnecessary suffering to the animal soul which needs to be freed immediately from it dead physical cloak to continue its journey in the beyond.
This also explains why humans are able to hear and experience all the goings-on around their newly discarded physical body for up to a few days after death. At the most favorable natural circumstance is condition can last only up to seven days. Hence cultures where people talk to dead bodies before buying them, are not misguided. The dead can actually hear and perceive all that is going on around the physical body while they are attached to the body; indeed feel pains arising from the body if the body is maltreated. The seeing and hearing is actually done through the astral body which remains intact and attached to the discarded physical body provided the blood is still enough nondecomposed blood in the body. If you carefully and intuitively absorb the lecture ‘Departed this life’ you will notice after death the departed soul was still very conscious of the physical vicinity of it discarded physical body. The soul described there even witnessed its funeral and then lost consciousness. Only afterwards did he wake up in a totally different environment, one corresponding to its ethereal weight. Hence after the funeral and burial, while the soul slept or was unconscious, the astral body decomposed along with the blood, freeing the soul which then had to float to the region of the beyond corresponding to its weight. We have dealt with the process of death earlier in this thread, so there is no need remaining on it. Earlier I didn’t mention the role of the blood for saying too much at once may bring in confusion. Now suffice for me to say that the radiation of the blood is what binds the astral body to the physical body. This radiation is a bridge uniquely designed for the astral body. Hence the time a growing fetus forms its blood marks the time the astral body is attached to it this usually happens within the first month of pregnancy; until the fetus develops enough blood whose radiation can then closely bind the astral body to it as in incarnation, this usually happens at middle of pregnancy. Hence one can safely say that the incarnation of the soul commences the circulation of blood and the exit of it(as in death) commences the end of blood circulation. By the same token, the time the blood totally dries up or almost totally bleeds out, or decays marks the time the soul loses all connection to the physical body.

Now to the second part of your question.

Speer:
Animals do not produce 'forms" in Creation so what kind of negative energies are released in Creation by our ill-treatment of them individually or collectively?

The evil forms of fate that return to one as a consequence of his cruelty towards others are not created by those individuals who he was cruel to, but rather by himself. Hence, the recipient of an unjust action does not have to be able to produce forms for you to receive the reciprocal effect of the injustice you did to him.
Hence a man who maltreats animals can only do so out of brutality, wickedness or lack of considering for the plight of his neighbor. For animals are man’s neighbors too, and hence when are told “Love thy neighbor as thy self,” this includes animals too. This brutality that stems from him will bring in due season a reciprocal action; the measure of the reaction he will receive will depend on how deeply brutality has taken root in him; or how deeply it is felt by the spirit. Hence this brutality is a work of the spirit, like all that results from spiritual volition, it takes on form and is pulled or attracted to the power center of brutality in the beyond, a section of hell from where brutality is accumulated, there it will be anchored. And from there, through the connecting link to the man, reinforces his brutality and through this homogeneous path, this man will receive blows of brutality in due season. Should he pass on without severing this connection to hell, then through this connection he will be drawn to hell.

The practices like the Islamic one described above, if done with the right intuition, will prevent the butcher or animal killer from ever become brutal or wicked. Hence it is like a glove that a doctor or nurse wears during their work to prevent them from contracting diseases. Just as that which wells up inside a man presses towards physical activity, that physical circumstance where a man often finds himself may make an impression on his spirit. Hence an non-lustful man who works as a life guard in a beach where women walk around naked, after so many instances of seeing naked women, such a man may being to lust. By the same a token, killing requires certain coldness, roughness, or brutality that are alien to the human spirit. Therefore, a professional animal butcher may become brutal, cold and rough after many years of killing animals. But if he intuitively follows the stipulations given, like the Islamic one we discussed above, then brutality will never find its way to his spirit. Because the rituals will serve to permeate him with love, love that will protect both him and the animal; so when he cuts, he cuts out of love.
The same is applicable to a man who prays before eating! Praying before eating arouses the right intuitive perception towards the act of eating; man realizes that eating is a privilege or grace from the Almighty! Such a man will never become a glutton because this intuition permeates and takes over him, and will not allow the material joy of eating to take over and become the principle reason for eating, as such would be gluttony and a sin.
On the other hand, kindness towards an animal has a tremendous good effect and rewards both the kind man and the animal. Just as the rays from the activity of the Primordial spiritual permeate the spiritual and spirit germs, awakening and strengthening them. The rays resulting from our activities should also affect animals in an awakening, strengthening and pacifying way. Human spirits are created through the help of the Primordial spiritual beings; and by the same token, animals should be created through the help of the spiritual. Let’s take an example: A man out of love adopts a dog. He feeds, nourishes and takes care of this dog in a loving manner, i.e. taking first into consideration that which is beneficial for the animal and not only that which pleases it. The love radiating from this man to the animal caresses its soul into an awakening. Over time the animal awakens to love the man too; hence rays of love streaming from the animal’s soul are directed to the man. And through this connection, through this nearness to the spirit of man, the dog receives far more light and energy that it would have received if this connection was never established. This nearness to the spiritual works in a strengthening way to the soul of the animal. The animal may be strengthened to the extent that when it lays aside its physical body, its soul will be able to remain personal for eternity. Usually animal’s souls remain personal only for a while after laying aside their physical bodies; they usually after a while lose their personality and get reabsorbed into a group soul. And this connection does not have to be severed after the physical death of the animals. It happens that part of the reciprocal effect of the good activity of the departed animal will find its way to the door of the human spirit who helped in creation or development of this animal. This animal in the paradise of animals, yet still connected by way of radiation to this human spirit on earth, are some of his works that will always exercise a pulling effect on him, making him less likely to descend into otter darkness. It can happen sometimes, that such animal may stay in the ethereal realm and await the passing of their beloved master. On passing, the man will meet the animal in the ethereal realm which will help him and make his stay in the beyond easier and more joyous. The connection between the two can only be severed when the man becomes wicked and evil and hence will have to descend to hell after passing. The laws of creation would not connect a pure and noble animal to a wicked human being or one in hell.

Also, animals produce forms too, only that they are incapable of producing living forms of intuitive volition because these require the involvement of spiritual intuition. Forms emanate from them, but at best we can liken these forms to phantoms that emanate from the human brain. The elementals can clearly ready and understand that which emanates from the animal soul, be it joy or agony. Hence when an animal is in agony, the elementals can read the rays of pain emanating from the animal and if the animal is being made to suffer unnecessarily the elementals will weave threads of faith of karma and attach it to the human being causing the animal to suffer.
These emanations are what make them able to communicate, even with humans, in the beyond where earthly words are not used. Even on earth, you will notice that an animal close to you can perceive your thoughts/feelings(Emanations) even without you voicing them. A clairvoyant person, can even while on earth communicate with animals by picking up their emanations.

You can see clearly from the above explanation, the consequence of an individual being cruel to animals. The collective consequence of the vice on mankind is the unnatural distance and hostility between animals and man. A lot of animals today avoid men and are excessively aggressive to man due to the failure of man. However, creation clearly shows the need, benefits and importance of humans and animals working closely, harmoniously and in cooperation on earth. Such working will shower blessings to both humans and animals.

Thanks and remain blessed.

Speer:
Happy New Year everyone.
and specifically, thanks so very much Justcool towards contributing to my growth and insight.

Happy new year to you too my friend!

And thank you too for you have also contributed to my growth albeit you might not know it. Your questions demand spiritual movement from me, for I have to move spiritually in my quest to offer my perceptions and clarifications. In my quest to give you, I end up receiving far more than I had been able to conceive. Indeed the law is true that only in giving can one receive! This law has become an experience that I can gratefully call my own!

The greatest gift one can give to his neighbor is the demand for spiritual alertness and activity.

So, my dear Speer, in reality you have given me more than I have given you.

May we, in this year, allow an increased flow of light through us. This flow often manifests in question and answers.

@Anna 7

Also, if you can cite the edition where the correction has been made I will appreciate it. Or you can show that the mistake was not in the original German verse, that will help. Because, to the best of my knowledge, even the German version carry this error.

The latest English translation(2011) from the Grail movement reads:

"The afore-mentioned sporadic disintegration of all matter at a certain definite point in its cycle is a consequence of the fact that the human spirit seed-grains, which have the capacity to make a free decision, are permitted to develop in the Worlds of Matter."
( In the Light of Truth. The Grail Message.)
(ALEXANDER BERNHARDT PUBLISHING CO. VOMPERBERG. TYROL)
(Copyright 2011 by Siegfried Bernhardt, Vomperberg, Tyrol)

And I mentain that the above addition is contradictory to the rest of the chapter in which the disintegration was described as an automatic working based on the intrinsic nature of matter.

Please provide proff that this addition was a translation error.


Thanks

Justcool
I appreciate your detailed explanation above and thank you very much for the same. You have very rightly pointed out that use of word periodic in place of premature is wrong. However for your information this was only a case of wrong translation which has since been corrected by the publisher of the Grail Message in the 2011 Edition.
In fact whatever be the case, we most of the Crossbearers will remain ever grateful for the Final Edition, because most of us have come to the 1931 Edition only after remaining with the Final edition for quite some time.
Best regards,

Hi Ann7

Thanks for your last mail.

My intention was not to make you ungrateful to any version of the Message, any book, or anybody for that matter. Neither was it my intention to coerce you in anyway to accept my perceptions. That's why I told you not to take my words for it, but rather to investigate yourself.

Any path can eventually lead to the goal, as long as the traveler is experiencing. This is the beauty of this marvelous creation of our God. Any book, any scripture, will eventually lead a true seeker to the Truth. Even if the path is leading away from the Truth, as long as the traveler is experiencing, as long as he is moving inwardly, experiences either bitter or joyful will soon make the person see where he is headed, then he will change his course. The only sin to be avoided, irrespective of one's path, religion, or creed, is stagnancy. Even a soul in hell will gradually be uplifted to the light if he opens himself to genuine experiencing of his condition. That's why it’s wrong to coerce or preach to people to leave their religions and follow the Truth. This is also why I was reluctant to share my perceptions.

However, when one genuinely asks, then I'm obliged to answer. My answer is not meant for you to just accept as gospel Truth; you should intuitively examine it and where it does not resonate within you, you should discard.

The Grail message is the TRUTH which is not limited to a book. The Grail Message took on form as it was proclaimed and became a living part of creation. With every word that Jesus and the son of man spoke, they created. Hence it is impossible, really to distort the Grail message. One can distort the book, but not the living word which has taken form in creation, and which stands in the direct and undiluted power of God. Words to which all creation must succumb to.

We only read the book to mature enough to be able to read the message directly from creation itself. For one who reads creation reads the Grail message.

This is why I was not eager to tell anybody which version of the book is right or not. I wish every seeker the strength to experience, as only genuine experiencing will bring him to the point where he reads the Language of the Lord, which is creation.

Therefore I wish you strenght on your path.

Thanks and remain blessed.

(continued)

The added verse goes further to make more contradictions by saying that some parts of matter, where the developing spirits follow the will of God, “remains fresh and healthy and swings in the Laws of Creation, thus avoiding a course which must lead to over-ripeness and disintegration”

While earlier on the same Lecture , we were told that,
“If men remain in the World of matter they must naturally be drawn at some time or other into disintegration to which all matter is subject….”
http://grailmessage.com/en/volume-two/i-am-the-resurrection-and-the-life

Observe that in the above, He said, ‘All matter…’ not some matter, or those where men do not strive to the light. How can we have such a contradiction in the same lecture He goes further to explain that the only part of creation not subject to disintegration is the spiritual:
“And above this rotating circle there stands firmly anchored the first spiritually pure Creation, the so-called Paradise. In contrast to the formed World of Matter, Paradise is not subject to disintegration.”
http://grailmessage.com/en/volume-two/i-am-the-resurrection-and-the-life

The above is in harmony with the lecture, “The Last Judgment (The World)” where we read,

Far above the eternal cycle of Creation there floats like a crown in the center an “Azura Island”, the abode of the blessed, of purified spirits, who may dwell in the Regions of Light. This Island is separate from the World. Therefore it has no part in the cycle…
http://www.abdrushin.us/in-the-light-of-truth/grail-message-by-abdrushin-020.php

From the above we notice that above the worlds of matter and separate from matter lies the part of Creation(Azura Island) that is not subject to the cycle of birth and disintegration, which the all World(material creation) is subject to irrespective of the condition of its inhabitants.

Besides, science has observed uninhabited worlds, (planets and stars) explode and disintegrate, they have observed the formation or birth of new stars from dense nebula; hence science has observed that stars are born, grow old and die(disintegrate) exactly as the original Grail Message said. This again contradicts the added verse which says that disintegration is a consequence of sin of the inhabitants of the planets. If so why then have we observed uninhabited planets go through disintegration?
Science has observed a star in formation. Here is an article about it: http://scitechdaily.com/rapid-star-formation-observed-in-the-phoenix-cluster/
Also, recently science observed an old star gradually consuming the planets in its solar system. Here is an interesting article: http://articles.latimes.com/2012/aug/21/science/la-sci-sn-star-eats-planet-20120821

I know one shouldn’t mix science with spiritually, but this is a different case. Since here we are dealing with matter which is observable and a faction of which fall under the realms of science, I don’t we why we shouldn’t bring scientific evidenced; hence I provided the above two links to scientific discoveries. Every statement anybody makes about the observable world should live up to scientific discoveries. Once again the description of the cyclic nature the world(stars, planets solar systems and etc) provided in the original message lives up to the truth. But the add verse once again fails in the face of science, otherwise uninhibited solar systems will not have been observed to disintegrate.
I will end with a quote from the Grail Message. From the lecture, “I am the Resurrection and the Life, no man cometh to the Father but by me!

“Observe in the germination, growing, ripening and decaying how the process of forming goes on, i.e., how the basic substances become merged, the development which takes place, followed again by deterioration into the same basic substances through disintegration, that is, through the falling apart in the process of decaying of what has been formed! You can distinctly see this with water, also with the so-called decomposition of stones, with plants and also with animal and human bodies. And in the same way that this happens with small things it also happens with great things, and ultimately with all world events! And not only in the Gross Material World which is visible to man on earth, but also in the Ethereal World, in the so-called beyond which, however, has nothing to do with Paradise!”
http://grailmessage.com/en/volume-two/i-am-the-resurrection-and-the-life

In the above we are given the key to understanding the process. We are told to observe the process of development and disintegration around us. We are told that ‘in the same way that this happens with small things it also happens with great things, and ultimately with all world events!’ So let’s look around us. Let’s take our bodies for example! The human body is born, matures, grows old and dies. Can our bodies under any circumstance live forever? Our spirits incarnated into our bodies when the body reached a stage in its development, just as human spirits descended into matter when the latter reached a stage in its development. Hence the spirits are bound to leave matter disintegration sets in, just as our spirits are bound to depart our bodies when it dies. Our wrong behavior(sins) can greatly shorten the life’s span of our physical bodies but it cannot ultimately make it live forever, no matter how good we are. A doctor visiting us during the time of disease can save of from imminent death, but not ultimately from death which must come later at old age. The same way, Jesus and the son of man, saved the earth from imminent or premature death, but only for a while, for they cannot make the earth live forever.

By the same token, one can say the bad habits can cause premature aging and death; but it will be wrong to assert that the death that occurs at the end of the physical bodies lifespan is a consequence of bad habits.
Hence one can correctly say that the premature disintegration of any planet is a consequence of the sins of its inhabitants; but it will be wrong to assert the Periodic disintegration which occurs at the end of the lifespan of the planet is a consequence of the sins of its inhabitants.
The word Periodic makes such a statement wrong and contrary to the laws of creation. Periodic is that which occurs at regular intervals, at the end of the life of every planet, and irrespective of the condition of the inhabitants of the planets.

The seeker should ask himself: What would then happen to the earth if it stays at this stage forever? Considering that no fresh germs from Paradise can incarnate into the earth, what would then happen when all the inhabitants are matures and have ascended to the light? The earth will remain empty?

Strange as it may sound, some factions of the Grail movement now teach that one does not ascend to Paradise after attaining maturity, but must stay in subsequent creation!!! Perhaps such ideas sprang from this added verse which is contrary to the rest of the Grail Message.

In my perception, this is darkness trying to lure the human spirits gaze away from Paradise where we must return. Lecture after lecture, the Grail message urges us to strive away from matter towards our spiritual home; otherwise we run the risk of disintegrating with matter. For matter cannot remain forever in this form. Now this added verse is telling us that we have time because the earth can remain as long as we act correctly.

What a clever and subtle move form darkness.

There are other deletions and additions too, I don’t know if I will deal with them here in nairaland.

Thanks and remain blessed.
Religion / Re: Inquiry For Justcool And M_nwankwo And Other Adherents Of The Grail Message by justcool(m): 3:34am On Dec 07, 2014
Hi Ana 7

Now I will take some time and explain to you that the verses you quoted from “Resonances to the Grail Message” is not in accord with the added verses in “I am the resurrection and the Life...
I will break my post into two, because it is too long. Here is the first part:

First, the Grail message maintains that it is the intrinsic nature of all material forms to go through disintegration, in-other to remold into a new birth. Look around you, all that is material goes through the four phases of (1) birth, (2) maturity (ripeness), (3) over-ripeness, and (4) decay; in other words, a cycle of coming into being, disintegration, and re-formation. Observe everything material around you, i.e. our physical bodies, mountains, plants, even our houses. It is one of the most obvious things in nature that all most all cultures and all religions of the world views material forms as transient.

Planets, solar systems, and even entire universe also follow the same pattern as they are all material. None of these are infinite and eternal in their forms. Nor can they even be.

To quote from the lecture, “The Last Judgment (The World)” of the Grail Message,
It is only the cycle of Creation, in its continuous coming into being, disintegration and re-formation, that is eternal and without end, thus infinite.
http://www.abdrushin.us/in-the-light-of-truth/grail-message-by-abdrushin-020.php

From the above we observe that this cycle is without end. In other words, cannot be stopped. No material form, including the earth can remain in on one stage of this cycle forever. Such would be stagnancy which creation cannot allow because motion is a law that is imbedded unavoidable into creation. Towards the end we explore the consequences of such stagnancy which is impossible.

The laws of creation determines the duration of each form. Just as we know today that a healthy, and well-taken-care-of physical body can live up 90 to 120 yrs. The same way as a structural engineer know that the bridge he constructed will live up to 300 to 310 yrs. This way, each terrestrial globe, including the earth, has a length of time it can exist before going through disintegration. It is at this stage, the stage before disintegration sets in, that all human spirits are warned to strive to leave or separate from the World of Matter, otherwise they will be drawn into disintegration with matter. It is this separation that is referred to as the last or final judgment.

To quote from the Grail Message,
The Final, that is, the Last judgment, comes one day for each celestial body, but it does not take place simultaneously in the of Creation.
It is a process necessary in that particular part of creation which reaches the point in its cycle where its disintegration must set in, so that it can form itself anew on its further course

http://www.abdrushin.us/in-the-light-of-truth/grail-message-by-abdrushin-020.php


Observe from the above quote, ‘disintegration must set in’

From the same lecture, we read:
Again, by reason of the consistency of the Natural Laws, the point at which disintegration of each celestial globe must begin is precisely determined: a very definite place at which the process of disintegration must develop, irrespective of the condition of the celestial glob concerned and of its inhabitants.
http://www.abdrushin.us/in-the-light-of-truth/grail-message-by-abdrushin-020.php

Observe from the above that ‘the point at which disintegration of each celestial globe must begin is precisely determined’
Also observe that the Grail message said in the above quote that ‘disintegration must occur, irrespective of the condition of the celestial glob and of its inhabitants.’
Hence, when this ‘precisely determined’ time arrives, disintegration must set in ‘irrespective of the condition’ of the inhabitants of the glob; be they righteous, unrighteous, striving towards the light or not, their material planet must disintegrate at a point. For material forms must periodically pass through the funnel of disintegration. This is an intrinsic nature of matter, which the condition of the human spirit cannot change.

However, we know that the sins of the inhabitants of a planet can mass up and weigh heavily on the planet, allowing it to distance unnaturally from the light and hence drive it into a premature dissolution. This, I have already explained to Speer. Since judgment is the point right before disintegration, a point at which the righteous must separate from matter and ascend to the light, one can equally say that the sins of the inhabitants of a globe can drive the globe into an early or premature judgment.

To define judgment, I will quote from the Grail message,
“The separation of spirit from matter, taking place by reason of quite natural process and laws is the so called “Last Judgment” which is connected with great upheavals and transformation.”
http://www.abdrushin.us/in-the-light-of-truth/grail-message-by-abdrushin-020.php

The aforementioned early or premature disintegration of earth due to the sins of mankind was what Jesus prevented by incarnating on earth. I have explained this many times in this thread. Another early disintegration of the earth would have happened when at the beginning of the Last Judgment brought by the son of man. The first ray of judgment hitting the earth would have brought back mankind’s enormous guilt(karma), of crucifying Jesus, under which the earth would have perished or disintegrated immediately. Hence earthly mankind where so burdened that the earth would not have survived the Last Judgment(separation of spirit from matter) but would have perished at the first ray of judgment. It was this disintegration that the son of man prevented by incarnating on earth. And this is what is described in the verses you quoted from “Christmas!” in “Resonances from the Grail Message I

This saving the earth from premature disintegration done by Jesus and the son of man did not make the earth permanently beyond disintegration. What Jesus and the son of man did could be likened to giving the earth more time, for the sake of the righteous to complete their ascent and separate from matter. It doesn’t mean that the earth will presently or continue to exist everlastingly without ever being disintegrated. Mankind would have plunged the earth into an early disintegration, but Jesus and the son of man saved the earth, giving it strength to escape this premature disintegration and to exist till the time that was ‘precisely determined’ at the creation or formation of the earth. Hence it was only a temporal saving!

This is made very clear in the lecture “Christmas!” from where you quoted. In the same lecture, Abdruschin explains:

“As a consequence the earth will not burst asunder under the curse weighing on it! This had been its actual fate! Now, however, it will only be purified but will survive!_”
http://www.abdrushin.us/grail-message/resonances-by-abdrushin-017.php


The above explains who His incarnation on earth purified the earth enough to survive its fate which would have been early disintegration as a reciprocal effect of the murder of Jesus. This is the ‘curse weighing on it.’ This integration would have happened during the judgment of the earth. But His incarnation on earth prevented. His strong radiation enveloped the earth and was able to repulse the dark currents that Judgment returned to the earth.

Abdrischin goes further in the same lecture to state,

His incarnation on Earth, then, had not been planned in the beginning. Only upon His pleading was He permitted to descend to the Earth for the Judgment. With the granting of this request the fate of this Earth changed; it will be saved from complete destruction! After a terrible purification process it will be allowed to be lifted up to the region where destruction finds no access. –
http://www.abdrushin.us/grail-message/resonances-by-abdrushin-017.php

His incarnation which was not planed initially became necessary after it was seen that due to mankind’s guilt, the Earth will not survive the judgment. And hence other promises would not be fulfilled, ie the Millennium or the 1000 year of God’s will on earth. This is an extension period that was promised the righteous. I have already explained to Speer earlier in this thread that it was not initially planed for the son of man to incarnate on earth. Jesus partitioned for this incarnation when He saw that his mission would not bear the right fruit among mankind, they could not understand Jesus and hence would be annihilated in judgment if another help was not given to them right before the judgment. This help is only for a while, it will only help Earth avoid disintegration during judgment, but cannot make the earth eternal or everlasting as such would violate the laws of creation.

Abdruschin goes further to explain,
Bear in mind then that you have a part in holding the Earth so that it will not perish! Through your purest volition, millions of people will still have the opportunity to mature for a while longer, and still to enter into the Kingdom of God, which had already been lost to them. Therefore, do not take this too lightly.
You chosen and called ones! The time for fulfilling your vow has begun. For this I call you to action.

http://www.abdrushin.us/grail-message/resonances-by-abdrushin-017.php

From the above we observe ‘for a while longer’. This clearly makes my point!! Hence this holding the earth away from destruction which is accomplished by the radiation of the son of man and the striving of the called and chosen ones, is only for a while. Not permanently!

This is in contradiction to the added verses to “I am the resurrection and the Life…. which states that matter can “always remain fresh and healthy and swings in the Laws of Creation, thus avoiding a course which must otherwise lead to over-ripeness and disintegration.”

Earlier in the same lecture, we read,

“Because it is over-ripe the World of Matter is now entering a period of disintegration and simultaneously drifting towards a new birth.
For the human spirits, however, the time of harvesting has arrived, and with it the separation! That which is mature will be uplifted towards the Light through the effects of the Natural Laws which permit the ethereal cloak gradually to be cast off, leaving the spirit thus freed from its burden consciously to swing upwards to the realm of its own nature, of all that is eternally spiritual. That which is useless, however, will be retained in the World of Matter by self-imposed density of their ethereal bodies.
The fate of the latter is that their ethereal bodies will remain subject to the changes now taking place in the World of Matter, and they will have to suffer under the most painful disintegration covering thousands of years. The magnitude of the suffering will finally affect the human spirit in such a manner as to make it lose its self-consciousness. And with it the form of the image of God, the form of man, acquired in the course of becoming conscious, again disintegrates. ”
http://www.abdrushin.us/in-the-light-of-truth/grail-message-by-abdrushin-063.php

The above is in complete harmony with the lecture, “The Last judgment (The world).” Exactly the same process was described in it, only in different words.
“[b] Again, by reason of the consistency of the Natural Laws, the point at which disintegration of each celestial globe must begin is precisely determined: a very definite place at which the process of disintegration must develop, irrespective of the condition of the celestial glob concerned and of its inhabitants
The cycle drives every celestial globe irresistibly towards this point, the hour of disintegration will fulfilled without delay; as with everything in Creation this actually denotes only a transformation, the opportunity for a further development. Then the hour of the “either—or” has come for every human being. Either he is raised high towards the Light if he strives for the spiritual, or he remains chained to the World of Matter, to which he clings if out of conviction he declares that only material things are of value.
In that case, through the lawful consequence of his own volition, he is drawn with it into disintegration. This is spiritual death. Equivalent to effacement from the book of life.[/b]”
http://www.abdrushin.us/in-the-light-of-truth/grail-message-by-abdrushin-020.php

Once again I wish to call your attention to the fact that in the above we read, ‘…disintegration must develop, irrespective of the condition of the celestial glob and of its inhabitants.’

This is quite contrary to the added verse which says that

“The afore-mentioned periodic disintegration of all matter at a certain definite point in its cycle is a consequence of the fact that the human spirit-germs, which have the capacity to make a free decision, are permitted to develop in the Worlds of Matter.”
http://grailmessage.com/en/volume-two/i-am-the-resurrection-and-the-life

So which is correct?
The one that runs like rhetoric in the entire Grail message, which states that matter is irresistibly subject to cycle of periodic disintegration, birth, maturity irrespective of the condition of its inhabitants… An eternal cycle?
Or the added verse which says that periodic disintegration is a consequence of the free will of the human spirit-germs?
They most definitely contradict each other!

@ Anna7

Thanks so much for your reply. I can explain the verses that you quoted which still is not in accord with the added paragraphs on 'I am the resurrection and the Life, no man cometh unto the Father but by me!'. And also, I do not believe that it was the Comforter who made the changes, additions, and deletions, in question.

However before I proceed, may I ask that you provide the correct lecture or book that you quoted. I have intuitively absorbed the lecture, 'Christmas' in the 1949 posthumous edition of the Grail message and I don’t think what you quoted was from that lecture.

Kindly provide the correct book incase readers want to verify. You qouted from 'Christmas !' in the first volume of 'Resonances to the Grail message.' Please confirm and I will proceed with sharing my perception, if you are interested in hearing it.

Thanks and remain blessed.
Religion / Re: Inquiry For Justcool And M_nwankwo And Other Adherents Of The Grail Message by justcool(m): 11:36pm On Dec 02, 2014
Speer:

Hello Justcool,
In the Message, it is mentioned that when the neutral Creative Power (that spirits use to form according to their volition perpetually) is used negatively, it suffers a "dimming" and becomes denser/less pure.
Also, it is mentioned that higher spirits can always move to planes lower than theirs but lower spirits cannot move to higher planes/spheres.
Besides, final victory will always be by and for the Light.
Given the above, why is it that (as mentioned in the Message) when a lighter spirit wants to lawfully incarnate in an earth-body it will withdraw before a darker spirit also wanting to (unlawfully) incarnate in the same body. If anything, the darker one has to withdraw before the lighter spirit.
Thanks as always.

@speer

Thanks for your question.

The key to your puzzle is 'matter' You are right that when the neutral Creative Power is used negatively, it suffers a dimming. Hence in every struggle between light and darkness, victory always goes to the light. Since it is the purity of the power that determines its strength, using it for works of purity retains its strength; while when used for impure works, a certain strength in the power is lost. Hence in every battle, it is the purity that determines victor.

However, when it is a question of struggling over a material object, the darkness gains upper hand because at the present the world of matter has been distanced from the light to such an unnatural degree. The consequence is that matter suffered a densification which is unnatural. This unnatural density of matter is homogenous to the density of darkness. Hence at the moment(although this period is quickly coming to an end) all that is material belongs to the realm of darkness.

Hence when two souls are struggling over a physical body, the darker soul usually gets a firmer hold of the body which is material and which, along with all that is material, suffers a densification. This densification allows the darker soul an upper hand; while the lighter soul, which is not dense and hence non-homogenous to the density of matter will have to retreat.

The lighter soul can only win when there is a person strongly connected to the light in the vicinity of the growing fetus. Such a person, through his radiation will repel darkness and dark souls, while at the same time offering lighter souls a homogeneous bridge through which they can incarnate into the fetus. But in a situation where the fetus is surrounded by darkness, then darker souls will have the upper hand. Ie if the pregnant woman is evil and surounded by evil people, for example. Then it will be easier for souls of the same evil propensities to incarnate into her fetus and difficult for a lighter one to incarnate.

This is all too simple and natural. I will give an analogy: Under normal circumstances, a healthy man is far stronger than a fish, lets say Tilapia. However, if the battle is under water, the Tilapia quickly gets an upper hand and the man will have to retreat because he cannot breath underwater. So if a man's house is pushed underwater, the little Tilapia can quickly move into the house, while the man would have to retreat to above the water where he can breath. However, this does not contradict the fact the healthy man is stronger than the Tilapia.

Another analogy: one can say that healthy people are stronger than sick and dying people. Hence in every struggle between a healthy and a sick man, the healthy man wins. Hence it's the purity of health that determins the victory. But when the healthy man is struggling with the sick man over an object, once the sick man grabs the object the healthy man withdraws inorder not to contract the disease. Imagine struggling with an Ebola victim over a car. Once the Ebola victim enters the car or reaches for the steering wheel, the healthy will immediately abandon the car and run away so as not to get infected with Ebola. This why lighter souls withdraw before darker ones over material objects. Imagine struggling for an object in the territory of sick people or in an Ebola infested town. The healthy man will quickly withdraw as soon as the Ebola ridden man grabs the object. This does not contradict the fact that the healthy man is stronger than the Ebola suffering man.

The world of matter has been bushed into the realm of darkness, just as the man's house was pushed into water. Hence darkness (the fishes, Tilapia and etc) now has the upper hand in the world of matter (the man's house) because it is now in their territory.

However, this period is coming to an end. Since the advent of the Son of man, the world of matter has been gradually rising away from the realm of darkness. Hence darkness is getting weaker by the day. At the moment the ethereal realm is almost completely rid of darkness. The dark planes of the beyond has been reduced to the realms of fine and medium gross matter. So many dark souls in the ethereal has been pushed to realms of gross matter, as the ethereal rises to the light. This is why the worlds of gross matter are over populated today, also why the earth, which belongs to coarsest gross matter is terribly overpopulated. But the time will come when even the realms of gross mater, all the way to the earth, will be cleansed too and darkness will no longer be able to incarnate on earth. All matter would then have been freed from the all darkness and return to its allotted orbit, far closer to the light than its present orbit.

I have to go for now.

Thanks and remain blessed.

Anna7:
Please Justcool many Crossbearers are waiting to read from you about the above subject. Most of us are confused due to the presence of two editions of the Grail Message. I am sure your wise explanation will help most of us to make a right decision/opinion in this connection. with regards.

Hi Anna7

I know many crossbearers are awaiting my perception on the issue of the different editions of the Grail Message. However, I'm still not sure whether it's right for me to share my perception on this issue. I went through a lot of inner struggle before I arrived at my perception, which at the moment I consider very personal.

All I can say for now is that I have resorted to 1931 edition. This edition, in my perception, is the most authentic edition.

But do not take my words for it. I advice each individual to pick up both edition and compare them intuitively. Intuitively examine the differences, especially the deletions and the additions, then you will arrive at your own conclusion.

You can read the 1931 edition for free here: http://www.abdrushin.us/in-the-light-of-truth/

An eye opener is the lecture, 'I am the resurrection and the Life, no man cometh unto the Father but by me!' carefully read this lecture in both editions and consider whether the additional paragraphs added in the posthumous 1949 edition is in accord with the rest of the Grail Message. Compere this added paragraphs with the lecture, 'The last Judgment'(This lecture is called 'The World' in the posthumous edition) Do the paragraphs added at the end of 'I am the resurrection and the Life, no man cometh unto the Father but by me!' of the posthumous edition in accord with the lecture, 'The Last Judgment'(The World)?

There are other differences as well but lets start with the above. When you answer the above question, then depending on your answer, we can proceed.

Thanks and remain blessed.

Speer:

Hello,
Question regarding Forerunners/Light Messengers
Why does the Light send (sometimes) spirits who are still themselves developing (i.e. not yet perfected) on missions for spreading the Light-Message on earth?
Would it not be more appropriate to send perfected spirits or better yet, the elders/knights in the Grail Castle (e.g. Krishna)?


@spear

Sorry about my late reply.

I perceive that the solution to your puzzle lies in the Law of Attraction of homogenous species. A certain degree of homogeneity is needed between the teacher and the student for there to be a mutual understanding. Where there is no degree of homogeneity, the teacher cannot fully understand the student while the student, on the other hand, will not understand the teacher.


Hence the helper is always adjusted to the need and the nature of the people. A people transitioning from the first step of spiritual maturity to the second will be sent a helper already in the second step to lead them in this transitioning; not a helper already on the fourth step. Such a helper, one on the second stage will achieve greater success with this people, than the helper already in the fourth step. Hence in creation, your spiritual guide is always only half a step ahead of you in spiritual development. Hence he may even still carry some faults that you do or still struggle with the same faults that you struggle with. Only through this homogeneity can he offer you very helpful insights. Even in mundane earthly systems, like schools, we observe this law. For to achieve success, you cannot toy with the laws of creation; they must be observed and adjusted to. In Primary schools the teachers are often people with mere bachelor’s degree holders, not PhD holders! While in Universities, we have PhD holders as lecturers.


So the rank of the helper that any people will receive depends on the people’s level of development at the time of the help.


And sometimes a student who has not even graduated is sent to help others based on homogeneity. I remember in my secondary school years, some students sometimes seek and receive help from other students in the same school. Sometimes a student learns better from a fellow student who is only one class ahead of him! Sometimes grade six students are sent to help teach grade one students math. And sometimes, they even achieve greater success than qualified teachers. All these are manifestations of creation’s law of attraction of homogenous species. It manifests in everything! Imagine, if the primary school that you attended as a child is in need of volunteer teachers. Wouldn’t you volunteer, if you have the time? You will gladly do so and may achieve a greater success than a teacher who never attended that particular school, because you will understand the difficulties that the students face there, since you have experienced it in the past. Also your love to preserve your childhood school will make the work joyous to you. This is why sometimes when a people on earth are in need, a human spirit who developed from the earth is sent to them. Hence spirits germs who developed from this earth, will always have a certain affinity and love for this earth, and will petition to help when need arises on earth. Even though they may never have entered Paradise, but already in the ethereal and half a step spiritually higher than the people needing help on earth, they may be sent if such a help will also reciprocally further their own accent into paradise.


Creation is not wasteful; every act from the light achieves many purposes at the same time. Sometimes the help is not only for the people but also simultaneously for the helper. I will give an example: A great spiritual distress arises in India. This people need to make a transition to the next step of their spiritual evolution. Already in the higher part of the ethereal realm there are human souls who were once Indians on earth and who are already spiritually ahead of those needing help on earth. These human souls who were once Indians on earth will be the best candidates to send to render this help, because they are already family with the radiations of that part of the earth and are homogenous to the people needing help. These Indians(souls who were once Indians on earth) in the ethereal realm petition to be sent to help out their love for that part of the earth that once housed them, and out of love for their fellow human beings. Out of all these advanced Indians in the higher part of the ethereal, only one still has a karma that needs to be paid on earth, ie he needs to correct a mistake he once made on earth before he can enter Paradise. The rest have no more accounts to settle on earth, their path is to gradually mature in the ethereal realm till they are pure enough for Paradise. But out of love they all petitioned to return to earth to help in the distress in India. But the love of God will grant this request to the one who still needs to correct a mistake he once made on earth. Hence in fulfilling this mission he, not only helps the distressed people, he also frees himself from his karma albeit symbolically.

Another analogy: Imagine a group of Africans trying to learn English. These people's proficiency in the language being extremely limited. You can not help them successfully by sending an English man who has been in England all his life. Even though this man is extremely proficient in English, he will have a hard time understanding the Africans because he is not used to their language. Hence a serious gap will arise between the teacher and the students, gaps that will greatly limit the success of the mission. But if the teacher is another African who is just half a step above these Africans in proficiency, and who still speaks the language of these Africans proficiently, then he will achieve greater success in teaching these Africans because he is homogeneous to them. He familiarity to both languages will form a bridge, he can survey both because he stands on one foot in one language and another foot in the other language. He is also familiar with the difficulties that the African learners face because he once faced such difficulties. He knows how these Africans think and view life because he is one of them or used to be one of them. This knowledge he will employ in his teaching and hence will become a more successful teacher to the Africans. If for some unavoidable reasons the proficient English man has to go to non-english speaking Africans, then an interpreter who can survey both languages will have to accompany him; to bridge the gap between the English man and the non-english speaking Africans.


A pure Primordial spirit cannot successfully guide a people that are still very impure spiritually. Such a guide will not be understood; neither can he offer these people anything that will benefit them. Since he has never been immersed in impurity and emerged from it, have never struggled against impurity, he will not have any practical knowledge of how to overcome such impurity that the people struggled with. Hence a helper, closer to them in maturity will be sent to them. In time when they have achieved a higher maturity, a higher helper will be sent to them. This is how the law of attraction of homogenous species ordains it.


If you look back through the pas eras you will easily understand what I’m trying to convey. Take for example, the mission of the son of God, Jesus and compare it with that of Moses! The mission of Jesus was successful only in regard to saving the earth. His Divine radiation permeated everything, strengthening everything, and giving the earth a longer life’s-span; otherwise the earth would have perished before this present era. But in regards to leading mankind Jesus could not achieve complete success due to the failure of mankind which created enormous chasm between mankind and the living Divine purity of Jesus. The gap between mankind and Jesus was too much! Hence men did not understand him! Neither could He fully understand their weaknesses. For all weakness belong to darkness and Light can never understand darkness. Hence the Light(Jesus) remained a stranger among mankind. And ultimately, they crucified Him! Burdening themselves with even greater guilt. But Moses, who was close to mankind in nature was able to lead an entire nation from Egypt! The Jews dared not kill him. When enraged, sparks dashed from his eyes, to the extent that they feared for their lives. When he found them worshipping the golden calf, he dashed the ten commandment to pieces. His impetuosity, rage or anger was closer to what men at that time were used to, and it kept them in line. As opposed to Jesus who was ever composed, loving, and calm. Nothing can enrage Jesus to the extent of dashing the laws of God to pieces. He faced everything with calmness, for he knew that in the end the power of God reigns supreme. This calmness, streaming from Jesus’ confidence in the Power of God, was easily misconstrued by mankind as a sign of weakness. Hence they dared laid a crucifying hand on Him. Even today, they still describe Jesus as a weak and effeminate person. But this is wrong for in Jesus there was no weakness.


It was due to the unbridgeable gap between Divinity and spirituality that the son of man had to take on a human nature before descending to the earth. He had to be part-God and part-man, part-Divine and part-spiritual as opposed to Jesus who was wholly Divine unsubstantiality. The Son of Man’s spiritual part, although primordial spiritual, gave Him a certain degree of homogeneity to mankind who issued from the spiritual sphere, although from the lowest part of the sphere. In addition to this, His Divine powers were restrained during the time of His training on earth and darkness was allowed to cling to him for a while. It was after successfully purifying or freeing Himself from all forms of darkness did He enter into His mission. But now He knows mankind’s weakness, their struggle against darkness, and how to successfully overcome darkness it because He Himself have done so.


You must not think that Jesus and the Son of Man are only half a step ahead of mankind, as I explained that guides can only be half a step ahead their followers. Jesus and the Son of man are light years ahead the most highly evolved divine substantantiate being and above the highest primordial spiritual being. I used their mission to explain to you the working of the law of attraction of homogenous species.


This is also part of the reason while Lucifer became contemptuous to mankind. At first, his nature is too different from theirs. The weakness and wickedness of mankind was shocking to Lucifer. Hence he felt that mankind did not deserve the Love of God which patiently waits hand and foot. He could not imagine himself waiting hand and foot on these weak and wicked earth worms. Hence he became proud and devised his own means to deal with mankind. He devised the principle of temptation. Little did he know that by devising his own means he has cut himself off from the Will of God and will soon become heavy and darkened.


Mission of help from the Divine plane, perfected spirits, or the Grail knights do not happen often. Such missions usually involve centuries of preparation, the messenger has to learn about the nature of mankind even before descending to the earth; otherwise the difference in homogeneity will be too much. Experience with behavior of mankind may be so shocking to the messenger that he will lose control and make a mistake which will then bind him to a karma, as was with Moses who often became enraged. And such missions often are in regards to the entire part of the material universe, not just the earth or a particular people on earth; even though the messengers may incarnate among a particular people on earth(a people who have made tremendous spiritual progress at that time), his radiations will permeate the entire Ephesus. And such high spirits are often sent with a host of other developed and developing spirits, who stand closer to mankind in nature and homogeneity; and whose task is to form a bridge between the messenger and mankind, a bridge which otherwise the lack of homogeneity will not allow. And yet despite all preparations, these missions always fail in regards to mankind, who never attune themselves in the right manner to the light; and also due to lack of homogeneity. The messenger may return back home without mankind learning what they should have learnt because of their failure. Hence the messenger delivers the message but the people are too dumb to hear and understand. And hardly will he leave than mankind turn his glorious message, which they never understood in the first place, into a religion; as happened with the message of Jesus, and as is now happening with the message of the son of man.


The bottom line is that success among any species can only be fully achieved by that species. Just as, to achieve anything in the physical world, you need a physical body, a physical element or tool. To succeed in the ethereal you need and ethereal body; it goes on and on till the highest spiritual.


Thanks and remain blessed.

Sorry for my late reply; I just noticed your post today.

Exlibris is very good. Just expect them to change the person in charge of your project many times. And sometimes they won't notify you of this change, so you may still be emailing or calling your previous correspondent without any reply or call back from them. So, you have to be on top of things.

Other than this, which I guess is due to their busy schedule, they are very good. You will be very pleased with the quality of their product. They will send you different templates, from which you will chose the format (font, font size, paragraph style, etc) for your book. They will send you copies to review before publishing it; and they will gladly make any changes that you decide to make after the review.

I will most definitely recommend them.

Good luck with your project!

I know I've been out of the religion forum for a while now, and I ask that you bear with me. I have seen your questions and I will gladly share my perception. I wish I can do so immediately, as indeed I have a lot to say on your questions. But at the moment I'm going through an inner revolution, which forbids me to comment on such serious issues.

I cannot explain to you what I'm going through now; all I can say is that I have to stay mute for a while in-order not to interfere with my inner condition. I'm totally absorbed in a particular and extremely important issue at the moment; and hence I have to stay away from so many things. Lets just say that I'm going through my "40 days" in the wilderness.

I will emerge to share my perceptions on your questions, and also perhaps to share some clarifications that are beginning to dawn on me.

Thanks and remain blessed.
Politics / The Implication Of Fani's Article! by justcool(m): 11:14pm On Aug 19, 2013
I read the article where the man insinuated that the Yoruba’s should be respected because they were the first to interact with the whites, got westernized, and obtained western education. The question is: doesn’t this man see the racism, inferiority complex, and disrespect to his own people, implied in this idea of his? Is it something to write home about, when your people were the first to abandon the ways of their forefathers and adopt the white man’s ways? One who takes pride in this alleged fact only implies that the white man and his ways are superior to the African and his ways. How does being the first to deal with the whites make a people superior? Great intellectuals like Achebe and Soyinka always make it clear that colonization, which is euphemism for slavery, was obtained by trickery, force, and intimation. Hence, “Things Fall Apart.”

No true African intellectual will gladly celebrate being westernized! The implication of Fani’s claims is that the white man is God, and blacks inferior; hence, the first blacks to meet or interact with the whites should be celebrated and respected by the rest. And this man was once a minister? What kind of leaders do we have in Nigeria? This is why our leaders easily fall prey to western manipulation! They have not fully emancipated their minds from the slavish mentality that harbors the false idea that the white man is God! Hasn’t this man ever heard of cultural relativism? Doesn’t he know that westernization is not synonymous with civilization? Indeed civilization started in Africa!

It is this false idea that make Nigerian's living abroad walk around with an inflated ago and an air of false superiority when they visit Nigeria or return to Nigeria. "You should respect and worship me because I live in a white man's country! I live in God's country!" Pathetic!!!

If he had said that the Yoruba’s resisted colonization and westernization as much as the Great Kingdom of Benin did, then that would have been a better portrayal of his people’s ingenuity. While the Yoruba’s should be respected, as all African cultures should, one should not claim superiority based on the alleged fact of being the first to receive western education.

I respect the Yoruba because she is a great indigenous African civilization, like the Igbos, Hausas,etc. Not because she is the first to flirt the whites and western education.

Africans, have pride in who you are!

Hi Anna7

I am sorry for not replying last weekend as I promised. I was terribly busy; I most genuinely apologize for my lateness. Please forgive me.

My perception is as follows:

The idea that one needs not make any effort does not correspond to the will of God. Motion is a law that rests perfectly in the will of God. To be alive is to be in constant movement. This movement cannot only be confined within the individual but it interacts with the outside. One who is truly inwardly alive cannot be disconnected from his environment, he cannot remain idle on the outside; indeed, in creation, your environment is a reflection of your inner mobility. It is a sacred duty of every creature, not only to keep himself eternally alive through movement but also to uplift his environment through this movement.

In the lighter planes of creation, your environment always corresponds to your inner condition. Due to the density of coarsest gross matter, this law is sluggish in its manifestation on earth; hence men fail to observe it. Hence on earth both good and bad people may find themselves in the same gross material environment; this is totally impossible in the beyond and above. Hence the idea that it all lies within you and that it has nothing to do with the outside should not be taken out of context.

The individual must never close his eyes to his environment. He must look around him and not only within him. For all that happens in his environment manifests the will of God. Even the laws of nature that we observe everyday on earth are nothing but the manifestation of the Creator’s will. It goes further than that, it also points to the individual where and how he stands in his spiritual development. For the laws of creation place each individual exactly where he belongs, where he earned for himself, or where he needs to be. With this in mind, the individual will realize that the beggar that he meets on his way to work every day is not there by chance. He will realize that his perhaps sick nephew, brother, or neighbor is not completely disconnected from him. These manifestations in his environment are exactly what he needs for his spiritual development. Rather than retiring within himself in meditation, he will reach out to act in his environment. He will help the beggar on his street, he will help his sick nephew, brother, or neighbor. He must act!!! A good volition cannot reside in you without you acting. It forces you to act. Refusing to act is tantamount to blocking it; then like a flame without oxygen it will flicker and die. Or based on the law of creation, it will be pulled away from you, and held fast by the individuals who use it aright by acting it out.

Meditation and surrender that mankind often praise may be detrimental to spiritual development. Prayer is far more beneficial than meditation. During prayer, the individual realizes his smallness and trusts in the power of God; but during meditation the individual retires within himself and trusts in the power within him. Hence Prayer is the opposite of meditation. One who realizes that the human spirit is only a piece of work, a little fruit of creation, will easily realize the dangers of meditation. The power that courses through the human spirit, even in its greatest level of maturity remains an insignificant shadow compared to the entire power of God. The spirit is nothing without this power. Hence one who have come to this realization will only bow down in humility to God and will never for once revel in the little power that flows through him, neither will he ever trust only in the little power that resides in or flows through his spirit. For even this little power that flows through the spirit, which these men marvel at is only sourced from the power of God which naturally flows through power centers in creation; a power to which anybody that opens himself receives, depending o the degree of opening or openness. For all powers of healing lie outside the spirit, the spirit is not a source of power but it is rather like a lens that can gather energy and direct it to singe and burn in what ever direction it chose based on its free will. But to those who believe that it all lies within them, experiences will soon come to their aid, for should they ever find themselves in a situation that requires the concentrated power of God, the little power that flows through their spirits will fail them.

A keen observation will show you that these people that practice meditation, or “retire or commune with their inner self” do not really do so! They only commune with their intellectual volition, and revel in the little light of their feeling. They are often far from communing with the actual inner self which is the spirit; they are often far from their intuitive perceptions. For one who listens to his intuition will be filled with the desire to act, and also the desire for God. These are always evidenced in the intuitive perception; the human spirit originating from the plane of constant activity and movement always expresses the desire for activity in its voice. And the knowledge of existence of God which lies in the spirit is always evidenced in its voice.

The philosophy of meditation or retiring within oneself for strength and sustenance flourishes in cultures where people believe that man carries a part of God within himself or that man is Divine. Hence it makes sense to retire to that Divinity within as opposed to seeking the Truth outside. But the idea of man being Divine is wrong. Man is a piece of work, a fruit of creation. He is as much a work of the creator as his environment, creation, is. Hence he can find the WILL of God expressed in the laws of creation or outside him, as he can also find the same WILL expressed in his intuition, in the voice of his spirit which is an indirect work of the creator. Hence man should not only seek the Truth within him; he should seek both within and without him.

The analogy about the swimmer and the dead person explains clearly the need for personal effort and movement! But pacifists use this analogy without observing it very well or following it through! Observe the dead man. He floats! Right? But for how long and where is he headed? Anything dead floating on a river is headed to be deposited of the shore!!! Currents in creation do not allow idle floating; once the individual ceases to make effort, which is tantamount to being dead, he floats as the currents carry him off towards the shore! Hence in creation, one who floats is gradually being carried to the shore of destruction or prediction. He is deposited of the shore of life; i.e. he loses his personal ego! Good swimmers work every second to maintain their position in the river. Their muscles have to keep working in unison with the currents of water. Hence, under normal circumstances, living creatures are hardly ever deposited off the shore; only dead ones!

The same is applicable with the birds in the air. Once they stop making effort or flapping their wings, they begin to descend! At the initial beginning of such descent, one not thoroughly acquainted with the laws of creation may think that the air is carrying them gently; they may still appear to float. But this is not the case, for if they remain stationary they are headed towards the ground where they will be tossed to the ground or dashed to pieces by the ruthless hands of gravity! Once they stop flapping their wings, the air will gradually but unfailingly push them of its currents, towards the stationary ground.

Hence the teachers who teach mankind to go with the flow or give up their personal effort are like the birds which have stopped flapping their wings, calling out to other birds to do the same. They enjoy gliding in the air without making effort, while laughing at others who are constantly making effort. This gliding without effort appears so comfortable, it appears so gentle, an easy flowing with the currents of air; only that soon they will meet the deadly fate of hitting the ground and dying.

Also the principle of “go with the flow,” is Luciferian. It is tantamount to the principle of letting go! This principle is the easiest way of dealing with temptation; but it is a very dangerous road! Once tempted, the individual lets go, gives in, or goes with the flow! Rather than following the arduous and difficult road of resisting. However, this arduous way is the way of life, the way of remaining alive. For life in subsequent creation is a struggle! The individual has to struggle for his ego or his existence. One must never let go of oneself! We live on earth where good and evil dwell side by side; where all currents, both the pure and impure, courses through. One is often attacked or surrounded by impure currents; in such cases he has to fight, he has to struggle, he has to dispel these currents otherwise they will soil him and set him on a read towards prediction! Due to the density of matter and the fact that at the moment the earth has deviated from its right course and is now revolving at an unnaturally greater distance from the light, all that is dark gains a firmer hold on anything that is material. Hence once an individual lets go of himself and succumbs to dark currents, all that is light and pure in him will in time gradually depart from him. He will become a vessel for impure currents, without knowing it; sometimes in the delusion that he is ascending, making spiritual progress, or serving the light. For all struggles within him will immediately be silenced by darkness; like a bird gliding effortlessly downward or like a dead body floating aimlessly on a river, he feels gripped by a certain peace, similar to the so called nirvana. However this is the grip of death. The individual is headed to the desolation of his hard-earned ego, the worst faith that can befall a human spirit.

Also, Buddha, who was a servant of God did not teach the principle of letting go, neither did he teach nirvana. These principles are the consequences of, or are a wrong reaction to the principle of temptation which is the work of Lucifer. We find this principle, albeit in different guises, in almost all religions and cultures of the world today; so it’s not only found among Buddhists or Indians. Even in western Christianity, the idea that only belief in the savior can save an individual and that the individual’s personal effort cannot help him is another form of letting go! Letting go of your personal effort!

We are not here to go with the flow of all currents that meet us here in subsequent creation. We are here to exercise our intuitive perception with all our strength to recognize the pure currents that come from above and also the impure ones that stem from the dark planes. After this recognition, it becomes our duty to unite with the pure currents and dispel the dark ones. We must present a fighting front to all that is dark because all in subsequent creation is not pure!

And mark my works, even after recognizing the pure currents, one must unit with it not just flow on it effortlessly. Nothing pure or nothing from above can be enjoyed or indulged in effortlessly! Only that which is dark or impure carries you along in your sleep, not demanding that you wake up or make any effort. That which stands in the will of God demands that you remain awake. The human spirit possesses free-will which he must employ in his work. He decides, based on his intuition, the channels through which the pure currents that he receives from above must flow. The human spirit can only be a conscious mediator! This he does through his words, thoughts and actions. He has to act!

One who wishes to remain afloat effortlessly in the pure currents of creation will be deposited off to the shore, exactly like the rivers deposit or expel the dead off to the shore! Only darkness holds you in its grip while you are dead or living aimlessly. To maintain or remain in contact with the light or pure currents that stem from above, you have to exercise the muscles of your personal effort, otherwise the pressure of the pure current will fling you out, deposit you off to the shore, or expel you.

The pure currents are meant to flow through you not you lying on them as a dead man lies on the currents of water. And one who has united with the pure currents that comes from above will soon feel attraction towards the source of this purity. His will trace these currents in his intuition all the way to God, the source of all that is pure. Then recognition will dawn on him; he will fall on his knees before his God. This is the path to accent.

Thanks and remain blessed.

@cold

You've made very intelligent observations; however, those observations do not justify the idea of throwing the concept of God away. Such would be throwing away the baby with the bathing water.

The obvious and undeniable inconsistencies in the various religious texts only show that these texts are man's perception of God. These texts were written by various individuals at different levels of spiritual maturity.

You don't need religion to recognize God. You stand in creation, which is the work of God. A good understanding of this creation will bring you closer to the recognition of God, just as one can recognize the mind-frame of an artist in the artist's work.

Stand away from a religions, creeds, and dogma; and search for the creator with a free and open mind. If you seek this way, you will find.

Thanks and remain blessed

Anna7: Dear friend,

I am new to this forum and I have read a few posts here. I am also a follower of the Grail Message an I live in India. I just wanted to thank the person who has written the posts - About woman and about marriage etc. I will be happy if I can know the actual name of this Crossbearer and his email id so that I can some time take his help. It's so nicely written by him about women's nature, spirits and the way he described is really awesome. I appreciate it very much. Regards, Srinivas Anna. my email id is srinivasanna7@gmail.com
