The problem of humanity is its total ignorance concerning the laws of manifestation as they precipitate from the source governing mind activity. It is always mind which inaugurates any activity, but individuals allow physical emotional reactions to get into the way of carrying out the original dictates of the intuition which works through the mind.
The laws governing human endeavors are plain enough. They form the bases of every religion. They dictate moral responsibility to the individual for fulfilling the mandate to evolve consciousness to the soul’s level.
While humanity manifests in “coats of skin” (which was not its original state since it manifested in the Edenic state in an etheric body), humanity is now subject to the additional laws of three-dimensional existence and also the original laws of the higher dimensions of being.
The problems occur because the laws governing three-dimensional life are so limiting and so stringent in the ways they work that they inhibit the individual from comprehending and putting to work those practices that open the mind to the soul’s realms of being. One must have etheric vision to comprehend what results will follow from one’s courses of action.
The precepts are there to be followed and are contained in the do’s and don’ts of all religious teachings. The proponents selected to state the teachings were chosen by those Beings who are in charge of guiding humanity back to its original task of ruling the universe.
Lack of comprehending what the results will be from either following or not following the laws set for humanity’s guidance is the basis of all the problems besetting every human being.
To comprehend results of actions, one must develop inner vision, inner hearing and so on of one’s senses, which in their totality is known as the sixth sense, or extrasensory perception. This is an attribute of one’s immaterial bodies functioning in the higher dimensions. The difficulty is that the physical self stifles the intuitive faculties.
To achieve the contact necessary for overcoming the physical self’s limitations, one’s efforts must be directed to the main gateway into the inner planes of being. This is the heart center in one’s etheric body.
In most of humanity, consciousness is centered in the lower aspects of manifestation. A simple example can be given in the three main disciplines set forth for the evolvement of consciousness in the Western world--Christianity, Judaism, Islam. The latter two are usually termed Middle Eastern, but their disciplines have been increasingly influenced by the Western thoughts’ developments to bring them into a closer relationship. This has been going on under the guidance of the HIERARCHY of Beings carrying out God’s Plan.
The scheme of consciousness evolvement in a human ascends from the lowest states to the highest. Thus, each of the three disciplines has a built-in system to effect soul integration of the personality. However, there is a common denominator in the mass of people being born into a particular discipline.
Originally, the aim of the Mosaic discipline was to include the whole of the Middle East, but the only segment of the population capable of subscribing to the entire list of dictates for lifting the consciousness out of the sacral center up to the solar plexus center, were the Israelites. Most of them had learned to control the impulses of the sacral center and were ready to learn how to control the energies of the solar plexus center which govern the emotions. And this left the largest proportion of the population in the Middle East with no evolvement of consciousness direction for mastering control of the sacral center energies, when the Israelites organized themselves into a functioning discipline.
Since humanity had been given free will, there have arisen problems time and again, making it necessary for the Beings working with mankind, to indicate directions for solutions. One problem was the hierarchy of the animals kingdoms’ group souls holding the Egyptian people in thrall.
The remnant of Atlanteans which included the Israelites, who were saved in the Great Flood, earned the gratitude of the animal kingdoms’ “gods and goddesses,” as it were, by the care the Atlanteans took in transporting the best specimens of the animals to the Egyptian colonies before the Flood. The Atlanteans were clairvoyant and could see the animal group souls. The worship of those entities developed slowly. Since the entities are evolving, the worship of them by the humans in some way strengthened their power to use elementals of the vegetable and mineral kingdoms to effect results beneficial or detrimental to the humans’ welfare. The use of a lower kingdom by a higher one is in accord with divine laws. Use with detrimental results affecting the evolvement of consciousness, breaks this law and draws dire results to the offender retarding his own evolvement easily by making him suffer. In Egypt a priesthood came into being to mediate between the animal and human kingdoms.
The HIERARCHY took over in guiding the establishment of monotheism in Egypt, but did not have enough adherents to eliminate the established priesthood. The Israelites were chosen instead. They were “led out of Egypt” despite the lower kingdoms’ machinations used by the priesthood. The worship of the animal group souls was then left to go out of existence by the higher human evolvement of consciousness in the righteous ones leaving the nation.
An important aspect of any discipline is the attitude of its adherents toward its womankind. Equality in all aspects of daily living, in education, in professions, in administration determine what total power a nationality can muster in the world. Women, and also men, are to be considered on individual merits regarding capabilities and talents. A people lacking a feminine counterpart balancing the masculine levels of achievement in its progress as a whole cannot take its place on the spirit levels as a complete national entity. It lacks an important part ensuring continuation.
The Mosaic discipline had a built-in required balancing of the needed feminine influence since they were obedient toward the dictates ensuring raising of consciousness toward mastery of the emotional energies rising from the sacral center and in control of sex impulses.
Such was not the attainment of consciousness in the rest of the Middle Eastern people, and Muhammad was selected to write a set of laws which would eventually lead most of his people to raise their consciousness out of the sacral center to the next step higher. A practice was instituted to raise the sacral center skyward three times a day facing a designated holy place which had been magnetized for them.
At a point when a follower of Islam is responding more often to the solar plexus center, he starts incarnating into the Mosaic discipline. Such is the Path on the Tree of Life called Mercy.
Another alternative is open to the individual who has achieved control of the emotions (the solar plexus center) almost, and has focused consciousness in the heart center to the extent of loving others better than self. The way opens onto the Path of Severity, the swiftest path of all to achieve soul contact, and to demonstrate one’s genius.
An interesting aspect of the progression from discipline to discipline is the “gateway people.” As mentioned before, the Jews are the gateways to the solar plexus discipline. The Spanish (a mixture of the solar plexus and heart) are gateways for the American Indian and some Negro people. The Portuguese are more constituted to be the gateway for the Black people than the Spanish. The Russians are the gateways for the Mongol’s.
The sacral centered people have the most incarnations for the most difficult part of evolvement. This is illustrated by their literature. For example, there are one thousand and one nights in Arabian mythology, and a woman is speaking. The Arabian Nights narrative is actually an esoteric exposition indicating the lessons to be learned and mastered as a Moslem. When a Moslem has learned to respect the rights of women and frees them from his domination, he goes into the Mosaic discipline of the Ten Commandments.
In the literature of the Mosaic discipline there are one hundred fifty Psalms. The Psalms indicate the lessons to be mastered in that discipline, before circumstances force the person onto the heart discipline.
As a Jew, one also can become a teacher, thus being an awakened one with continuous consciousness waking and sleeping, devoting self to helping others master the Mosaic disciplines.
In the heart or Christian discipline there are fourteen stations of the Way of the Cross, which indicate the lessons to be learned. There are four different variations of the heart discipline to follow and it depends on one’s karma under which teacher one will work. The teachers are: Matthew (Aquarius), John (Scorpio), Luke (Taurus), Mark (Leo). The Gospel of each indicates which character traits as well as potentials are to be developed to become a Christ-ian. Then one will be ready to function in the next, the Aquarian dispensation, when the Second Person of God, the Christ, will establish another phase of God’s Plan on earth.
Islam’s problem is sex; Judaism’s is emotions and avarice; Christianity’s includes the two mentioned above and conflict. The first learns respect for others’ rights; the second learns generosity; and the third learns peace.
In Christianity, the powers and forces of the individual are marshaled to tap the source of the Christ power, which is the Son or the second aspect of God, as in God the Father, being first, God the Son being second, and God the Holy Spirit being third. These are the uppermost triad of the Sephirothic Tree.
The manifestation of the Christ being made approximately every two thousand years is to keep the goals for humanity to achieve, in view. The manifestation coincides with the ushering in of a new age, which currently is the Aquarian. Consideration on implementing the use of the powers and forces of the new set of energies pouring into our system is now the task of all the disciplines being used under the direction of the HIERARCHY.
The HIERARCHY consists of those who have achieved release from being in physical bodies and are awake and functioning on the inner planes of being. These great souls have elected to stay and help humanity achieve its rightful place upward and out of the constraints of existence in the three-dimensional state of being. Humanity’s goal originally was to rule over the angelic kingdom, it must be remembered.
Humanity in its collective consciousness should have reached the stage where the physical manifestation of the Christ is a fact in the individual’s life. Such is not the condition prevailing. Humanity in its inner consciousness is crying for a physical manifestation to occur again to set an example of the new dispensation for it to follow.
When Christ manifested in the man Jesus at the time of His baptism with water (appropriately in keeping with ushering in of the Piscean Age), the Christ power descended into Him as seen by others in the shape of a dove. He became Jesus, the Christ. When the Christ power went into Jesus through the top of His head and suffused Him, He became the Wayshower for the Piscean dispensation.
The Mosaic discipline’s Hierarchy on the inner planes of being, argued there were sizable masses of humanity in the Northern lands worshiping their pantheons of gods and goddesses personalizing myriads of natural phenomena. Mentally, emotionally, and etherically they were equipped to tread the Path of Severity, and were sensitive enough to apply the decalogue to their life style with good effect.
Thus, the precepts of the outer teachings of the Mosaic discipline were incorporated into the Wayshower’s Path directions, but the secrets of the Keys to the Mosaic books were withheld. The literal acceptance of the Old Testament later caused much misunderstanding by the interpreters of the Writ. Translations were not precise enough to carry through the import intended by the original. Since the original Hebrew scrolls were systemically destroyed by the new practitioners of the new religion, an in-depth inquiry became impossible when only the Greek translation was available to all. Even the Jews had to use the Greek version to reconstruct the Hebrew one for their own use.
Before condemning this state of affairs, one must realize that the original Hebrew Writ had to go into hiding because of its potency. As it is said, the Hebrew letters are engraved in the heavens.
For instance, the Hebrew letter Aleph has the potency of Taurus, also the vibration of the color cream-yellow, and its stone is the agate. The celestial correspondences attribute a musical note to this letter as well. Beth has Gemini potency with crystal-blue color and the crystal is its gem. Gimel sea-green color, can pull in Cancer forces, and has the emerald as its gem. And so on with the rest of the Hebrew letters.
The world has never been without this lore perpetuated by Silent Unknowns entrusted with its keeping. The potencies can be invoked in most dire emergencies if one has the Keys to the Scriptures. And there are more than one Key to the Old Testament.
The same may be said about the New Testament. Jesus, Himself, said that He had two types of teachings--the Parables for the outer masses to suit their understanding. Then there are the esoteric inner teachings for the select few (Apostles for one) entrusted to them in perpetuity and to be passed on by qualified ones by virtue of their spiritual attainment, to this day. Jesus even said that His followers would be able to do even greater things than He did.
“Many sought Jesus privately to study the inner meanings; and after Jesus tried them He accepted them, or they dropped out themselves after a few sessions.
“Look into the Kabbala for some of these teachings, since Jesus, as a Hebrew scholar, was very well acquainted with kabbalistic lore. He also studied with the Egyptians-a remnant of whose lore comprises the teachings of the Rosy Cross Order, and the teachings in the inner ranks of the Jewish religion.”1
“From the time Jesus started to teach His disciples to the time of His crucifixion, He had over three thousand private pupils who attained Illumination. There were both brothers and sisters whom He taught. In the Bible only an inkling of this is given.
“The result of His private teaching was that it has been brought down to this day through secret teachings by individuals who have received it in like manner. Suffice it to say that these teachings have been carried along in an unbroken chain.”2
The necessity for hidden teachings is obvious. Why is this so? What factors are at work that are blocking the forward and upward progress toward spirituality that will give humanity the God-like powers necessary to rule the universe? God created the spiritual wave of monads comprising the human kingdom, a hierarchical structure, to effect the coming into being of powers to rule the universe.
The necessary condition for this function of humanity to manifest is mind control. A right mind control is called for. And this has not developed in humanity for which the potential is there. Mind control is currently utilized by the finest and best developed minds in manifesting destruction for its own progress.
Some hopeful signs are apparent as far as space exploration is concerned. This endeavor focuses mind control outside self and into the cosmos. In essence this is exactly what every human being should be doing. That is, focusing attention outside one’s corporeal self and immediately above one’s head into the sphere of light that is one’s soul. It is the soul which must be contacted to fulfill the first necessary step to go forward on the Path of Christ consciousness.
The idea of meditation has been around for thousands of years, but there are still not enough people in the world meditating on the necessary soul contact to effect the birth of the Christ consciousness, if you will, in every one.
Proper meditation methods raise the vibratory rates of mental activity enough to achieve a harmonic with the soul’s extremely high vibrations. The meditator’s inherent creative force is then used to manifest his inherent genius. The creative force is mostly used currently for activities related to procreation.
The faculty for procreation is utilized by all kingdoms in nature, of course, but only in the human kingdom can it be used to effect contact with the Second Person of God. In short--THE SECOND COMING.
It is simplicity itself, yet so difficult as it necessitates the cleaning up of all the garbage in one’s consciousness. It demands a life of HARMLESSNESS.
When one achieves harmlessness, the awesome power of Christ fills one’s being and manifests all the attribute’s Jesus had--total control over manifestation.
Jesus’ mission was to open the Path of Severity in a unique way. The method was for effecting evolvement of consciousness by an inner struggle of the mind and conscience. Jesus was the Wayshower of the Way of the Cross. He took on the physical pain and suffering at the crucifixion to save humanity the physical tortures inherent in the Path of Severity.
Jesus saved humanity the physical suffering by taking it on Himself. In this way, He became the Redeemer. Thus, His sacrifice of taking on the physical cross and being physically crucified, took on and expiated humanity’s sins, and left the Way open to achieve Christ consciousness mentally--mind control.
The original intent to have the Christ manifest no lower than the etheric levels at this time, may be changed, because not enough humans have evolved to have etheric consciousness equal physical consciousness. Thus far, there has not been an increase of sensitivity to the etheric levels. Opposition to this increase comes from the practitioners of the black arts who discovered how easy it is to exploit, prey on and vampirize others who are still asleep in their etheric bodies. And this despite the awesome punishments accrued to the individual acting in such self-seeking activities. Individuals must balance the scales in their lives’ accumulations of past and present activities in the negative aspects of living. The hallmark of the right kind of life is--HARMLESSNESS, as previously mentioned.
Forces inimical to humans achieving spiritual power, inspire weak individuals to get involved with activities effecting mental functions. The activities are geared to interfere with mind control and drive consciousness downward into a lower rate of vibrations effecting the emotions and the still lower sacral centers.
Drugs, music of the jazz and rock variety, perversions of sex activities, prurient literature and entertainment, are pushed vigorously by demonic beings through individuals obsessed by them. Crime statistics rise; fear descends like a pall on communities; chicanery, double-dealing, deception in high places runs rampant.
These extremely negative conditions surface before the periodic manifestation of the Christ, as the earth progresses through the zodiacal belt and leaves the influences of one sign to advance into the next one. The only reason suggesting itself for consideration is a testing one to bring to the surface what will be needed in the teachings of the new dispensation to counter the weaknesses remaining from the previous one.
The “Law of Ten” was given to Moses to teach humanity to lift its orientation to the etheric levels. Transgressions result in needed atonement carrying the mandate of suffering; losing ten times the worth of wrongfully acquired possessions; and the conquered gain the results the conquerors desired if aggression was selfishly motivated.
Should one steal an item, the etheric level mandates that the stolen item’s image, ten times its original size, can now be seen clairvoyantly attached to the thief’s etheric body by a smoke-like thread. Small wonder that nefarious forces battle man’s struggles to obtain etheric vision where all can be seen in people’s auras. The return of the selfsame stolen item to the original owner, dissipates the etheric image.
The etheric part of the individual is controlled by the solar plexus center and manifests in the emotions. Mind control of the emotions determines positive evolvement. Once the power of creating has been lifted from the sacral to the solar plexus center, the individual starts mastering the decalogue by working out the accumulated karma of each Commandment, and learning its lesson.
The most numerous of such incarnations are in the Jewish segments of the world’s population. The people taking a serious view of the discipline, attend religious services regularly, trace the hexagram over their solar plexus center and live the life of a tzaddik, if they are Jewish; make the sign of the cross via their head, heart, and throat centers, if they are Catholic (Roman, Greek Orthodox, Episcopalian), go to Mass and receive Communion. Then, there are the fraternities with rituals, such as the Freemasons and Rosicrucians, who put an apron over the solar plexus to show a discipline is being followed to master the emotions with mind control. And there are the movements like Christian Science and the like where emphasis is placed on mind control, which inhibit response and reaction to the emotions.
Each of these endeavors to lift consciousness to the mental levels to get rid of the rest of the accumulations of past lives’ debts, or karma as the Eastern disciplines name it.
Generalities are not as general in their applications as may be surmised. When it comes to karma, how the balancing is achieved may be varied from one individual to the next one for the same transgression. Each may be in a discipline in common with a million others, yet his life experiences may be totally different, depending on the number of lives he has been in the discipline. Also, the need to evolve certain aspects of consciousness has a bearing on the conditions that are right for working out karma.
Karma, or the balancing of the scales in one’s life records, is very important. Each human has a necklace of beads around the neck, which can be seen etherically. Each bead constitutes a life and there is a medallion in the necklace’s center, with the mark of a discipline showing on it. The mark is of the discipline under which the current life’s consciousness is evolving.
The color, size, and design of each bead will show what kind of life it had been. If conditions are right, one’s soul may elect to “change the color” of some bead, though it may have been lived a thousand years ago and its karma is still pending. At the start of each life, the soul decides what sort of life it wants to get the best results out of the experience.
The rosary beads of the Catholics, the prayer beads of the Buddhists, and the necklaces of the American Indians, as well as others, are in imitation of the etheric ones, no matter what explanations are given.
Each system or discipline has its own set of rules to follow to achieve the goal of everyone--soul consciousness.
Let us consider the Ten Commandments as to consequences built into one’s consciousness in adhering to them and also breaking them.
In the first place, the tablets of stone were not a rock kind of stone, but a precious kind of stone, like in jewelry. The engraving on stone in Roman numerals is false--Roman numerals on Moses’ tablets, setting forth the Commandments to the Israelites to live by? The Catholic Church is responsible for that one. Pliney declared that Moses used lapis lazuli, calling it the Stone of Heaven, upon which Moses engraved the Ten Commandments. Another reference to engraved stones from ancient Egypt is the Emerald Tablets of Hermes Trismegistus.
The engravings on Moses’ Tablets were symbols. One can study a symbol and write volumes about it, as any serious in-depth student will assure you. The ancient Hebrews wore breastplates set with various kinds of stones which have attributes and meanings, and have a connection with Moses’ Tablets.
THOU SHALT HAVE NO OTHER GODS BEFORE ME. The first Commandment means that a human being, in his spiritual aspect, was created in God’s image. This means that the real, immaterial undying spiritual part of a human is the image or a reflection of God. This tells us that no other thing should be worshiped since we must maintain the link unbroken which our spiritual part has with the original reflection of God. Only the Supreme Creator, the Unknowable Mind, the Immortal Essence of Being, is what humanity must reach toward, gropingly, for sure.
Primitive and illiterate people who live close to nature are very sensitive to the phenomena whose vibrations exceed those of the physical senses. These people can perceive nature spirits, Race Spirits, animal group souls, some lower orders of the Angelic Hierarchy, as well as various kinds of discarnates. As individuals perceive these etheric beings, the idea of a hierarchical ascendance culminating in a one supreme source of all, have to be learned eventually. Recognition of it may come from considering correspondences of “As above, so below,” as the microcosm reflects the macrocosm. Meditation on this Commandment serves to raise consciousness to experience soul consciousness eventually as one stretches inquiry out into the depths of space as well as inwardly into the depths of one’s own being. The precious moment of such contact, more than anything else, brings an impact of the Oneness of the Whole.
THOU SHALT NOT MAKE UNTO THEE ANY GRAVEN IMAGE . . . THOU SHALT NOT BOW DOWN THYSELF TO THEM, NOR SERVE THEM . . . The second Commandment refers to the Race Spirit guiding the Hebrews. As a spirit, it has no physical features. It belongs to the Angelic Hierarchy of Beings and can manifest as a shaft of brilliant light.
This Commandment goes into more detail about the worship of graven images. It speaks of making images and bowing down before them. Here we get an inkling of a human’s inherent creative power.
By virtue of a human having a soul of a special kind, being a universe in miniature (a microcosm of the macrocosm), all the powers and forces of the universe are contained within the soul, the God-like part of a human. As such, a human can draw on those energies and forces to animate his creations in a little understood way. Mankind was the last of God’s creations and was given the task to rule creation.
Creation is composed of vibrating components. Every thing in creation has its own individual vibration. And its vibration will determine how and on what level and dimension it will manifest--as a soul, a color, a scent; or as an etheric, mental, or physical object.
The vibrational attribute of everything makes it possible for mankind to rule the universe even as it had been created to do. Another important aspect is that a human can call upon the Angelic Hierarchy to accomplish tasks. A human has the added element of the earth essence in his makeup, and the angelic kingdom does not. This attribute gives a human the privilege of invoking angelic aid.
When a human creates anything, he has dominion over his creation but does not bow down and worship it. A human can fashion an object with his hands and its span of existence will depend on how much of his spiritual energies--the God-like powers emanating from his mind and soul as used by the body--went into the fashioning of the work of art, science, literature, artifact, building, music, and so on.
One can see at times someone sitting on a bench in a museum contemplating a painting, a sculpture, an artifact. The viewer is trying to “tune in” with his vibrations to establish a harmonic with those of the work of art, thus making it “come alive.” The viewer will then see the same scene which its creator saw when the object was fashioned. The capability of the object coming alive makes it a masterpiece with a life-span commensurate with the artisan’s evolvement of consciousness.
The painting or statue will appear for an instant as the model who posed for it. The above applies to works of art.
The process of seeing is called pregnance, which involves one’s attuning with it. And the object’s attribute of responding is the hallmark of a masterpiece.
The masterpiece gives pleasure, elicits admiration, but must not be bowed down to and worshiped according to the second Commandment. Why? Because one then deletes, wastes and throws away one’s own creative forces.
Music and poetry (a form of music) create structures in color out of etheric matter which soar and make images in space. The masterpieces are those compositions which evoke the various Orders of the Angelic Hierarchy, which then fashion the structures and otherwise use the creative energies released for various functions. This kind of sound heals, inspires, nourishes all in creation, and feeds the soul by the characteristics of its vibration.
The greatest difference between the Angelic Hierarchy and the human kingdom is that the former does not have the element of the earth essence in its makeup to create. It, too, is an evolving body of beings. The angels work with the energies and forces that are already there. They primarily guide, inspire, and transmit. Humankind also can manipulate energies into forces with the power of the mind, and thus create. By virtue of this faculty, humankind was given rule over creation which includes the Angelic Hierarchy. The narrative in the Bible about the War in Heaven refers to the faction of the angelic kingdom which rebelled at the dictum of serving humanity.
The creation of ethereal structures with music and aided by the angels can be accomplished only with vibrations that build. Jazz, rock, punk, and suchlike use of sound, is a destroyer of one’s etheric body, both the makers of the sound and the listeners, since it makes holes, rips, and tears in the first bulwark of defense a human has in the etheric body. It opens the door to those activities and practices that devolve the consciousness, demean and debase the individual. It renders one helpless to cope with normal living conditions, set to aid evolvement of consciousness.
A clairvoyant aboard a cruise ship observed the power of music to evoke and attract negative influences, when a rock band and vocalist started to perform “Shake It Up Baby.” As people came onto the dance floor and abandoned themselves to the sacral centered appeal of the music, lots of little black imps, about one foot high, having very long penises, appeared among them. The imps danced with glee around the most active dancers, absorbing their energy--the energy which the music made them emanate.
Without question, the biggest attack on religion in the twentieth century has been the turn music has taken since the onset of jazz and rock and roll.
Misuse of the creative energies and forces is a sacrilege. Sex perversions are a misuse, as well.
THOU SHALT NOT TAKE THE NAME OF THE LORD THY GOD IN VAIN . . . The third Commandment follows on the previous one as it pertains to the awesome power of speech in making things happen. By the potency of certain sounds, conditions can be brought into being. Combinations of vowels and consonants uttered on the right pitch or tone can evoke powers to effect results.
The Christian Scientists scratch the surface of this lore when they use a Bible quotation, without intonations, to effect cures. The most effective method is to use combinations of the Hebrew consonants and the sacred vowel sounds chanted on the correct pitch or tone, as the practical kabbalist knows. After all, the Bible is the most efficient conjuring book existing, if one knows the Key to that function of it. There are six more Keys, making seven in all, of the Bible.
“Magnetized” American Indian Medicine Men can effect cures similarly because they evoke the aid of the healing angels. Unfortunately, there are too few of those individuals working with the Angelic Hierarchy that deals with healing. An inspired “faith healer” has to raise his consciousness to establish a harmonic with the healing angels and maintain a lifestyle to keep consciousness at that level. The faith healer has Jesus’ example of the lifestyle to follow. He/she will have an experience in which the Archangel Raphael will give him/her an own chant/mantra to use.
Even so, a clairvoyant can usually see an angel or two, having a beautiful greenish aura, hovering over a hospital and answering the fervent prayers of the ailing ones.
During the heat of anger or frustration one, in ignorance, may utter sounds which will evoke something one may be unable to handle. Woe to the one who evokes vainly as the powers being evoked need direction to do the task their characteristics require. The powers stay with the evoker and work their effects on him. These may not be to his advantage and well-being. “In My Name,” Jesus promised that what is being asked for, will be granted. It is safest, therefore, to preface all requests with, “In the Name of Christ . . .” so the King of Angels Himself will be invoked with no adverse effects.
Speech creates images in the person’s aura and draws to itself conditions which are in harmony with the images. Readily it can be seen how the speaker of curses will assume the conditions which he is invoking.
The speaker of blessings draws unto himself the blessings he invokes to help others.
There are rituals that give specific directions to utter sounds that evoke powers to create anything and everything one can imagine. Thus, one must be wary about what sound’s one utters. “Silence is golden” is not a vain admonition.
Clairvoyantly, lies uttered look like black balls popping out of the speaker’s mouth. Can you imagine the effects of advertisers, and of the campaign speeches of politicians when running for office? When most of the people are evolved enough to know when speakers lie, there will come good government. Courts of justice will not require lengthy deliberations to establish verdicts.
Where there is an intent to harm, to cheat, to embezzle, the image emerging from the speaker’s mouth is a forked tongue darting out as the words are spoken.
When the American Indians said that the treaty makers spoke with forked tongues, they knew what they were talking about.
Karmically, the ones perpetrating nefarious schemes absorb liabilities into their accounts, as it were, the obligation to experience the effects of what they are doing. This applies not only to individuals, but also to organized bodies of entities like corporations, governing agencies, and labor unions among others. There is a group karma that has an important bearing on the individual’s destiny of where he will be born and under what conditions his life will be lived. No one imposes anything on anyone else. Everyone is in charge of experiencing the effects of what one has ever said and done.
Help and opportunity are available to lighten the burden of atonement. Jesus did not go on that cross in vain! The process for reaching aid is prayer, which could very well be a last resort. And the prayer may have to be a sustained process over a period of time. Karmically experiencing the effects of past misdeeds, is ten times the intensity of the original effects. One can appreciate what a tremendous service was rendered to humanity by His taking on its sins, if you will. No other religion before Christianity gave this unique opportunity of balancing karma in this way.
By His great sacrifice, each extant religion has dedicated Ones who have elected not to progress onward toward higher evolvements of consciousness, but have made a sacrifice of themselves to remain on the inner planes near the physical to aid their lesser evolved brothers and sisters.
An example is the Catholic Hierarchy which has a large roster of such souls. Those are the saints who can be invoked through prayer. Each of these saints selected a particular area to extend help. A form of invocation to evoke such aid is the novena, which entails the repetition of the invocation nine times at nine different times. Since the atonement of the past misdeed is ten times that of the misdeeds intensity, the supplicant is going through one part of it by praying, and the other nine parts are supplied by the prayer. Each of these dedicated helpers authorized the prayer or novena by which they can be reached. The saint works with the soul of the supplicant. Help may take a form that will be unrecognized at times.
Jesus made His sacrifice for the benefit of all of humanity and all religions now have similarly dedicated souls rendering this kind of service. There are also organizations which the seeker for solace may be inspired to contact which are overshadowed by a saint, and the prayer will be answered that way. Many a sufferer, in reforming, and atoning for past transgressions, has himself become a helper of humanity. This explains the crusaders, reformers, altruists, benefactors of all sorts, who spare not time, nor effort, nor means for humanity as it struggles.
REMEMBER THE SABBATH DAY, TO KEEP IT HOLY. The fourth Commandment pertains to observing one’s Sabbath positively. Actually each has an own private Sabbath day that is the seventh day following one’s day of birth, counting the day of one’s birth as the first day.
As most individuals do not know on which day they were born, all religions give a seventh day to provide the conditions and means to clear up one’s aura of the accumulations of undesirable elements therein, which had accumulated during the past six days.
The cleansing process involves a backward glance to recollect what had been said and done, what had not been done which should have been done, all of which detracted from leading a life of harmlessness. These sins of commission and omission, if you will, had left devouring things in one’s aura, which are now feeding on one’s positive life forces to stay alive because man is a creator. Positive images can attract health, luck, wealth vibrations, since those are positive, and whatever else is needed to continue existing usefully to self and others.
On the other hand, the negative images in time consume their host after depleting all the life sustaining forces available in the etheric body.
The confession functions in the Christian discipline, the Day of Atonement in the Mosaic discipline; and the Ramadan of the Islamic discipline, serve as cleansing processes.
It is not amiss to mention the Wesak Festival of the Buddhists, since individuals of all disciplines, after attaining a certain level of soul consciousness, find themselves in their etheric bodies attending the ceremonies in a remote valley of the Himalayas. Many individuals of all faiths even make the pilgrimage in their physical bodies. It follows because Christ Himself and the other Beings of the HIERARCHY takes part in this ceremony.
Another universal observance in which all faiths participate (even atheists) in their etheric bodies, is the Good Friday ceremony when the Christ goes on the Cosmic Cross and stays on it and suffers incredible agonies because of His sacrifice for all of humanity. All individuals in physical incarnation pass before Him and state their heart’s desire for the coming year.
The Christians have a practice of going to church as time allows between noon and three o’clock in the afternoon to make their Easter wish at this time even as their etheric bodies are doing similarly as they pass before the Cosmic Cross. The Christ nods in affirmation if the request is to be granted because the individual can cope with the outcome and the people involved can also cope with the results. If those conditions are not met, Christ makes a negative motion from side to side with His head. Christ knows if fulfillment of a desire may add to one’s burdens of life.
The most notable granting of a request in the twentieth century was made to a Jewish comedian, who is no longer in incarnation. He had been making the same request all of his life. He asked that there be a Jewish nation for their very own, autonomous and self-governing. When Christ nodded, the comedian shouted as he turned somersaults off the stage. Such an exuberant exit had not been seen in a thousand years.
Another remarkable instance was an individual who had never in her entire life made a request for herself. Her requests were always to benefit others. Her children and her husband, who was once President of the United States, were the objects of her requests most often. The last Good Friday before her going out of incarnation, a most melodious gong-like sound reverberated as she made her request; again it concerned another.
In the three disciplines related to the Western world, the Sabbath being on three different days involves the Angelic Hierarchy, because its ministrations are required by Moslems on Friday, Jews on Saturday, and Christians on Sunday. Angels bring in the necessary potencies which are required by the different rituals.
Since most of the rituals are of a feminine potency, they require a masculine force to be completely effective. This applies particularly to rituals where a sacrament of some sort is magnetized and dispensed to the attendees. This may explain the reason disciplines of a religious nature, and also fraternal organizations like the Freemasons, instinctively are averse to anything having an influence for detracting from the complete effectiveness of their rituals.
At the observance of the Sabbath, a potent cleanser is a magnetized element which is dispensed at some point in the ritual. The bread and wine of the Christian, and the Seder ceremony of the Jews, are very good examples of aura cleansing agents. As the curative forces are invoked, a clairvoyant can see a shaft of brilliant light as it flashes down to irradiate and magnetize the elements--the Communion. As each attendee partakes of the Communion in the Christian discipline, an upright white pentagram hovers over his head a moment and drops inside the head to continue down to the heart.
The edifice serving as a meeting place is a doubly potent location if in its dedication rites, a member of the Angelic Hierarchy had been evoked and fixed over the edifice to transmit the positive forces invoked by the rituals. The rituals of the discipline and the teachings, provide directions by which every individual is working in each life. The goal is contact with one’s own soul, as a start.
Those sects that have neither ritual nor angel over their meeting place, still serve a purpose since they provide the teachings of the discipline of which they are exponents. Many members of these sects are led into fraternal organizations which provide the missing elements at least once a year.
At the Sabbath, there is also the opportunity to tithe. This ensures a steady supply coming to one of what one requires to fill one’s needs, because the universal storehouse opens to allow ten times the value of what has been given to go into one’s cornucopia. Tithing illustrates another law involving ten. Everything about the physical manifestation of humans involves ten--the manifestation itself plus nine, adding up to ten.
HONOR THY FATHER AND THY MOTHER: THAT THY DAYS MAY BE LONG UPON THE LAND WHICH THE LORD THY GOD GIVETH THEE. The fifth Commandment regarding parents also has more to it than is apparent, the same as all the other Commandments. Obviously, not all parents are worthy of being honored. Some have irresponsibly begotten offspring and grudgingly do as little as possible to provide a good life for them. Some parents abuse and brutalize their children, even kill them. And some parents’ interests are solely concerned with exploiting the capabilities and talents of their children, but not for the children’s benefit.
Such parents do not earn any honor from anyone, least of all from their children.
As in all Commandments, this one has its esoteric aspect which refers to the honor to be bestowed on the Creator, by the created.
Of course, the parent and offspring roles are karmic. Each individual in each life is preparing the conditions under which he will be born, and how he will live when he is born again. The great law of being mandates the experiencing of all that one has generated. Eventually, it becomes obvious to the sufferer that his own ways must be mended.
To be honored and respected, one must earn it, and this regards not only the responsibility of a parent. It applies to all states of being, as the individual carries on the business of living.
The ingredients required are love and harmlessness. Immediately the response will boom forth that there is a jungle out there, and the “survival of the fittest” is the great law of nature and of evolution.
The fact of the matter is that the ensouling factor of a human being gives an entirely new set of Rules of the Road, and this must be kept in mind. “Do as you would be done by” is not only a sanctimonious platitude, it is an iron unbending law. The records of all actions are built into the individual, setting him up for experiencing all the effects of his thoughts, words, and deeds.
Can you imagine what a future life of a vivisectionist and an experimenter on animals will be like? What agonies of interminable pain will be endured?
To the parent, this Commandment gives an obligation to be worthy of the honor one wishes to attain.
Also playing a parent’s role are those who assume a major part at some segment of our lives by nurturing our hungers, mundane and spiritual. Their roles may even be the most important ones in fashioning the sort of individual that one becomes. We honor and revere them for their loving benevolence. They may be grandparents, siblings, relatives, teachers, or mentors in specialized fields.
Our obligation to these wonderful people who contributed much to our lives is to pass on to others the help we had received.
On the inner planes of being, the Father aspect is the higher abstract mind toward which the lower mundane mind reaches to attain the highest possible potential we can manifest, which is part of our inborn genius.
The Mother aspect of the self is the sensitivity of perceptions which give impetus to the creative genius in every individual. Eventually, the creativity makes itself known with indications in which field of endeavor it will manifest--arts, literature, sciences, teaching, healing, inventing, and so on. That aspect of Father and Mother must be honored always.
Parents, in understanding this, have a duty to aid their offspring to realize the potential inherent in sons and daughters. Parents err when they are bent on realizing their own ambitions via their offspring. A law of being is that one must help another achieve mastery ere the way opens for self. A parent errs in expecting the child to follow in the parent’s footsteps, when the child’s soul wants an entirely different set of experiences.
Tampering with another’s soul’s patterns set for any incarnation generates heavy karma.
The most esoteric aspect of the Commandment to honor parents has to do with the Father being the Supreme Creator of all, and the Mother being the Holy Writ, as it were. The Wisdom and Knowledge inherent in the Keys to the Holy Writ, is the Mother, to feed, to nurture, to guide one’s growth into being a complete human being whose soul is integrated with the personality. The Sophia (Wisdom) enables God’s offspring to open his intellect and to gain the powers needed for him to assume his proper role of ruling his Father’s universe.
In the Mosaic discipline there are four Keys to the Holy Writ, which are needed to complete one’s sojourn in that discipline before advancing into the Christ discipline. The inner teachings of the Masonic fraternity, especially in the Scottish Rite, make these available to the Christians. The Kabbalists of the Jewish religion are actually practitioners of the esoteric lore, whose oldest treatise, the “Book of Formation,” legend attributes to Abraham. Of course, in studying with the latter practitioners, one can contact the inner classrooms on the upper etheric levels, where the ladder can be climbed into God’s heaven, if you will.
The other ladder is in the upper chambers of the Christian discipline, which is connected with the Path of Severity, or the Way of the Cross.
There are actually seven Keys to the Holy Writ. There are three mundane or exoteric Keys and four hidden or esoteric Keys.
The exoteric Keys can be described as the Literal, Dogmatic, and Doctrinal. The Literal Key is a literal reading of the scriptures as a historical record or story. The Dogmatic Key specifies the “thou shalts” and the “thou shalt nots” of religious practice. And the Doctrinal Key gives the philosophical conceptions respecting God, man, and existence. This makes the scriptural compilation into an organ for churches and preachers. These are the only interpretations made public by the religious authorities.
The hidden or esoteric Keys can be described as the Astrological, Practical, Theoretical, and Unwritten Keys.
The Astrological Key gives a deeper and larger interpretation of the meaning of the Holy Writ. It identifies the energies and forces at work that relate the stories to the larger whole.
The Practical Key enables Scripture to be conjured with to effect changes on the physical plane. It is the means by which miracles are accomplished. Jesus used this knowledge, thus arousing the great resentment of the Rabbis, which contributed to His being crucified, since He used His powers on the unclean, uncircumcised, infidels.
The Theoretical Key enables one to contact the authorities responsible for the Holy Writ, in the religious hierarchies on the inner planes of being. By using it one can “go to the source” and discover the truth about what is written. Prerequisites to use this Key are purity of heart and mind.
The seventh Key is the Unwritten Key, or that knowledge transmitted by word of mouth only by one’s teacher to whom the pupil is led when he/she is ready to receive the knowledge.
THOU SHALT NOT KILL. The sixth Commandment calls one’s attention to the reverence for life no matter what its form. It is the basis for vegetarianism; since eating meat involves killing.
It also applies to suicide. The body’s condition at the life’s end will be the type one will get when one begins another life. And one’s subsequent life will end at the same age precisely when a suicide was committed. Thus, a self-inflicted bullet hole in the heart will give a defective heart. And so on.
Human beings have evolved out of an animal type of life physically, and will eventually become vegetarians. The meat eater is not able to draw on the finer spiritual forces to accomplish God’s Plan on the inner planes of being for the evolvement of consciousness needed by all the kingdoms in creation. And mankind’s destiny is to work with the Angelic Hierarchy and also with the Hierarchy of Beings who are carrying out God’s Plan.
Thus, mankind’s task is to work with animals to raise their consciousness, not to kill and eat them. The various orders of the animal kingdom have a group soul on the inner planes of being. The early Egyptians knew a great deal about the animal kingdom and its plan of evolvement. Their art portrayed accurately the animal group souls. Each of them has a body of a human, but the head is the finest specimen of the particular animal of which the being is “God.”
An animal in its evolvement will attain a life eventually which will put it in touch with humans. The element of love will come into the relationship. The animal will be given a name to which it will respond. The animal will be loved by a human being, and will love the human in return. Sometime during this relationship’s duration, the animal will individualize, and a spark of light will be seen in the middle of its head a little above the eyes. At the animal’s end of life, a human sheds tears and that opens the gates for the individualized animal to go through into its particular heaven to stay in abeyance until the next human life wave issues forth, and the individualized animals will start incarnating in primitive human bodies. The most recent such wave occurred during Atlantean times; then the gates were closed, and all the individualized beings issued forth into human incarnations.
Some animal species are mixed varieties; and when they are ready to individualize, they will get a body in their rightful species. An animal making such a switch will usually get a white coat of fur. This process has not been studied enough to gain knowledge why some domestic cats go into small monkey bodies and become pets. Also, some members of the small deer variety will go into dog bodies. One may surmise that the switch may bring the animal into closer contact with the human kingdom.
Highly intelligent domesticated animals, such as horses, dogs, and cats, can develop people characteristics after individualizing. A cow can individualize. These animals are entitled to more consideration, and their owners have more responsibility to care for them accordingly.
Killing of fellow humans is a severe karma accumulator. Karma is always at work in these instances. A slayer will be slain. A suicide will lose his life either by accident or be slain, on the anniversary of taking his own life in the previous incarnation.
If an individual gets away with killing someone else, he will be born with a club foot. Or, he may lose a foot or the use of it. This is because he got away with that type of crime.
Slaying becomes group karma when it is fostered by the ideology or ambition of rulers. Citizens have the option of accepting or rejecting the national karma generated by wars of aggression or by policies with which they do not agree. There is no “collective guilt” for the people refusing such responsibility.
World wars come under a different category, because the karma of man and his individual destiny is not involved. The widespread destruction of world war is only allowed when a civilization has crystallized to the point where it frustrates the working out of divine purpose. Then the outer forms that have proved inadequate to expressing the evolving inner life, are destroyed. This enables the building of new and more adequate forms by the forces of light.
“. . . the destruction of forms is . . . not death in the sense that we understand it, but simply and solely a process of liberation . . . There has been no destruction of human beings.”3
The subject of executions comes under scrutiny in discussions of the Commandment not to kill. Capital punishment and suicides are in the same category.
Balancing of the scales, includes the victim and also the killer. The victim had taken a life and set in motion how he would experience the result of his own action. The victim has a choice, of its being an accident, or at the hands of another. There are no accidents, only choices made of experiencing what one had set into motion.
And at this point, it is fitting to bring up the Christ dispensation. The Ten Commandments are essentially the Mosaic discipline’s “eye for an eye” law. When Jesus was infused with the Christ power at His baptism and the power manifested as a white dove over His head, He became the Way-shower on how to progress on the Path of Severity via the “Way of the Cross.” Jesus took on the physical suffering to redeem humanity from balancing the scales physically. How? On the Way of the Cross, the self is dedicated to a life of service, which carries its own anguish of spirit, mind, and heart. A life of service can thus balance more than one incarnation’s misdeeds. The life of service can take many forms, not the least of which is being a good family head, or a service involving ministering to humanity’s needs. This also explains the various Nun and Monk Orders in the Catholic Hierarchy, and similar organizations in other disciplines.
Also, as atonement is made, the color of the beads on the string of lives, changes.
Besides the victim, the one ordering the execution or the assassination, bears the brunt of the karma. If a group is involved, a jury in the first instance, and a group of plotters in the second one, the karma is shared by all of them.
Abortion is of two kinds. While the fetus is still in the womb, it is a growth, and a removal of it as an abortion, carries a karma of miscarriages in later pregnancies of the current life or of future ones.
If the soul contacts the fetus while it is still in the womb, then the abortion becomes a killing.
The first breath a newborn draws, makes it a living soul.
An individual who has killed, will have red hands when viewed psychically. The red glistens like flowing blood. This is when the killing has not been expiated.
It is not always a weapon or an act of violence which takes away life. It can be unsafe conditions imposed on a work force by administrators knowingly, which result in the administrators becoming killers. Their hands will be a silent testimony of their crimes.
The reason the Mosaic discipline still prevails in the Christian discipline, is that millions of Christians are actually not part of the Way of the Cross. The forces and energies of the material and spiritual aspects of the individual in the Christian discipline, spin into and assume a horizontal direction while the spiritual bisects materials’ horizontal flow, vertically. This takes the balancing function into the mental spheres where emotions may be involved but results are not physical as karma is worked out. Thus, the “tooth for a tooth” result is translated into a higher vibratory effect which not only expiates the crime on the physical but contributes to humanity’s well-being.
Entry into the Christian discipline starts with a baptism, and follows the pattern of life exemplified by Jesus as recorded in the Gospels, where His life shows the Way.
The next significant event occurs when the Christ seed is accepted by the candidate, as it were. In Jesus, the Christ power came into His being at the time of His baptism in the river Jordan.
Infant baptism, or christening to be correct, requires godparents, because they will assume responsibility for the upbringing of the children into the Christian discipline should the parents become unavailable for the task. The next step is the acceptance of the Christ seed into the heart, which may happen any time after the baptism, even up to adulthood. Meanwhile, the candidate, as it were, continues discharging karma according to the Mosaic discipline, and lives under the law of the Ten Commandments.
This brings attention to the Christ seed Sowers, the Silent Unknowns, who dwell upon the earth and work with the Angelic Hierarchy in distributing the Christ seed. And there are some who distribute the Christ seed without being aware of it.
These later distributors get the urge to go forth and preach. Should a clairvoyant attend a revival meeting to see and hear a widely-known preacher in some vast auditorium, then watch the ones who step forth to “answer the Call to Christ,” the clairvoyant will see the dove phenomenon occur over each candidate’s head.
This is the Christ seed which hovers over the head and drops inside to lodge in the heart. In the Mosaic discipline evolvement of consciousness centers in the solar plexus, the realm of the emotions, because its candidate has to learn to master that part of his being and prepare to raise consciousness up to the heart center.
In the Christian discipline, the candidate works through the heart center up to the abstract mind and eventual contact with his soul. That is the goal. The Way, or the Path, starting from the heart, leads into the mental realm of balancing karma.
When the candidate accepts the Christ seed, his life begins to follow the pattern of the Way of the Cross--the Christ Path.
There will be a “Three Kings” episode where the individual will get “three gifts” on the soul level and there may even be a physical manifestation corresponding to the essence of myrrh, gold, and frankincense in some form. The gifts are attributes needed by the individual and may not be the same for everybody. There are seven meanings for each gift, depending on which of the seven divisions of mankind the individual belongs. The gifts are inherent in the outpouring which became the seven divisions of mankind. When humanity took on a coat of skin (fell into physical incarnation), it cut itself off from the three gifts because of taking on the fourth element of earth. The Christ seed puts self back on a regenerating path out of the earth element.
As time progresses, the soul decides how and when the past accumulations of karma will be worked out according to the new dispensation. Now, the balancing will be on the inner planes of being. If conditions of the current life are not feasible for accomplishing this, the task will be postponed to a later time in another life. If the individual selects to have all his sins forgiven, he can start with a clean slate. However, few people select this option as one of their “three gifts.”
Every individual is a genius in his own right, a unique one-of-a-kind sort, because there are no two people alike in the whole cosmos. Thus, the soul seeks the best conditions for making the genius flower.
THOU SHALT NOT COMMIT ADULTERY. The seventh Commandment has to do with the very essence of a human being as a creator on the lower level. Although on this lowest level, it concerns vitally the most important function of a human being, and it draws karmically the severest consequences in balancing the transgressions. The Commandment takes in the whole area of sex activity, not only adultery.
Sex activity is the hallmark of all the kingdoms manifesting on earth itself, which is permeated with the sex essence. This makes it a unique laboratory experiment of interest in the cosmos. The balancing law called karma in Eastern philosophy, which works universally in the cosmos, is being watched carefully by the Hierarchical Beings as it works out in sex applications on earth.
The Hierarchy of Beings helping humanity, inspires leaders to apply practices that will benefit mankind in the great sex experiment. The practice of marriage is such a benefit. When it is said that marriages are made in heaven, it is not a trite observation. There is a reason for marriage ceremonies as performed in religions.
When a marriage ceremony is performed, a golden ring of light is invoked from the discipline of the ceremony (Christian, Hebraic, Islamic, etc.) and it encircles the married couple. The wedding ring is the symbol of the etheric golden-ring that is placed around the couple. The record of the marriage is entered into the records of the headquarters on the inner planes of being under the religious discipline in which the individual is evolving, or is entered under the discipline of which the wedding ceremony is performed. When a double ceremony is performed, the record is entered in both disciplines.
A civil ceremony and “common law” unions have their own karmic ties in the discipline under which both individuals are evolving, each to his own if they differ. Rings should be exchanged for the couple’s protection. Every individualized being is evolving in consciousness under some discipline according to cosmic law.
Marriage is an extremely important karmic tool of the soul with which to work. In the selection of marriage partners, it is the woman who selects the man on the inner planes of being. Thus, should a jilting occur, it is the woman who is the one who brings it about, though she is the one left standing at the altar.
The father gives the bride away on the inner planes of being. Similarly, the mother gives her son, the groom, away to the bride. Thus, the father of the bride and the mother of the groom can cause problems in marriages. Fortunately, after the marriage, the married couple has control over allowing the parents to cause problems in their marriage. There is no karma for the offspring in preventing parents from interfering in the marriage. It is the couple’s task to work out the karma which brought them together into matrimony.
So-called “arranged marriages” via a matchmaker or successful agreements between parents, are only the means by which the marriage partners had been brought together. The souls of the couple had already selected each other to work out problems long before. Some couples even incarnate at approximately the same time to enter wedlock, with or without the aid of someone else.
A familiar sound to clairvoyants is that of breaking glass as one penetrates consciously to etheric levels. This explains the breaking of wine glasses in the Jewish wedding ceremony signifying that the record of the marriage is being entered into their religion’s hierarchical records on the inner planes of being.
Also, in the Mosaic discipline, the bride used to have her long hair cut off, and at the same time on the inner planes of being, a muzzle was put over her mouth and a yoke placed on her shoulders. Polygamy was a part of the discipline. Currently, only the strictest observed rites’ households’ wives have the muzzle and yoke on them. It is a rare phenomenon in western Europe and America, in these times.
However, Mormon married women are seen to have the muzzle and yoke on them to this day. Polygamy is part of their religion still, but not practiced openly where multiple marriages are illegal. Of course, these details are seen clairvoyantly.
Why was this Mosaic discipline’s practice taken over by the Mormons? Because the Indians in America needed an etheric ingredient in their blood which is in the Aryan blood. One of the Beings in charge of teaching humanity, secreted the golden plates for the Indians on the American continent. Up to the nineteenth century no single Indian had been found with the necessary characteristics to be a Moses, Confucius, or Muhammad to the Indian tribes. To go onto any of the Paths of development of soul consciousness, and lift the Happy Hunting Grounds out of the astral levels into a higher heaven, as it were, it was necessary that the Red race intermarry with the Aryan.
The series of Missions in the Americas, North and South, were not rapid enough in effecting the intermarriages, but they were most successful in starting the process. Religion was the answer to accomplish the desired results of increasing the vibratory rates of consciousness toward soul levels. This is the end and aim of all of humanity. Spain’s greed for gold in the Americas started to interfere with the Missions’ Fathers work with the Indians. Also, on the eastern part of the continent, amalgamation of the Indian race into the Aryan was almost at a standstill. Time was running out.
On the east coast, Tecumseh was considered as a Moses, but the Indian population was too fragmented for Tecumseh to gather the tribes together into a visible unity. Distances separating the Indian nations served to enable the tribes to evolve their own cultures compatible with their varying lifestyles. Climate, natural resources, and development of skills made big differences between the tribes that prevented a union under one banner, or one discipline. The differences were greater than those confronting Moses.
After a search for someone to take on the task of starting a new religion, who was willing to give up his life to the cause and be martyred, Joseph Smith was selected to find the golden plates and directed to start the new religion. Because of the nature of the Entity ensouling the Earth, a bloodthirsty Being infused with the serpent power and nurturing the demonic kingdoms, each “Savior” of humanity gives up his life to aid humanity. Disciples down through the ages have thus offered themselves in such services by shedding their blood. Martyrdom as a service to humanity has not been limited to religion. Governments have had their share of such noble offerings of self for the good of humanity.
Joseph Smith did not know that his work would serve to be the discipline under which the American Indians and their distant relatives on the Pacific Islands would be evolving consciousness toward soul contact. This would be the discipline under which the Indians would be incarnating under a special dispensation obviating intermarriage with the Aryans. There were millions of souls being held in abeyance in the Happy Hunting Ground heavens and waiting for continuing their progress. This may explain why many Mormons of a dark coloring are to be seen to this day. Also, another dispensation was that an incarnated Mormon can have his deceased ancestors baptized and released toward evolvement due them as human beings into the higher planes. By this kind of baptism, multitudes of souls on the lower astral heavens were thus released.
Under Joseph Smith, polygamists were instructed to “go forth and multiply” because of the millions of souls needing bodies so they could be ushered into the Piscean Age. There was much catching up to do, since the Indians were still in the Taurean Age. They had to absorb the discipline of Aries first, by being sheep, as it were.
The more advanced of the Indians were being reborn into Mormonism right away. The buffalo totem had worked the Taurean vibrations in the Indian culture. The baptismal basin of twelve oxen supporting it, and the evoking baptismal ritual of the Mormons, carried through the theme of Taurus and made the baptism effective for ushering the newly baptized into the Aries dispensation.
To be effective in providing as many bodies as possible, women were muzzled and had a yoke placed on them at the marriage ceremony. Inwardly, they had accepted the polygamous role according to the Mosaic Aries discipline.
The newly baptized Mormons are thus ushered into a discipline to be sheep until they get the Christ seed and step onto the Way of the Cross. Jesus, the Christ’s admonition to His disciples to “feed my sheep” explains why so many millions of Christians are still in the Mosaic discipline of the Ten Commandments’ law of karma.
The Mormon women, themselves, will be released from polygamy when one hundred and fifty years are passed since Mormonism started. Those men and the church officials who persist in imposing the restrictions of polygamy, muzzle and yoke on their women, are earning five lives of slavery somewhere on earth with no opportunity for release.
Single unmarried Mormon women do not have the muzzle nor the yoke on them.
We consider divorce next. Divorce requests involve the dissolution of the etheric ring from around a married couple under the discipline in which the ring was evoked. The esotericists of the disciplines consult the individual’s records to decide if the karmic reasons for the marriage had been balanced, and then the ring is dissolved if the obligations had been fulfilled. It takes a length of time (up to twenty-one years after a separation on the physical) for the dissolution because it may result in one or the other partner going out of incarnation--usually the one who seeks the divorce, if the other partner is faultless.
Divorced people who have not had the ring dissolved from around them are being adulterous and amass consequences of enforced prostitution or undergoing a loveless marriage with diseases resulting from it. The same holds true, if one has affairs while still being married. A divorce does not erase the karmic tie existing between a wedded couple. One or the other needs the experience of that particular union to correct or to develop a facet of the character. A divorce only postpones the facing of the problem. This is shown by divorced people tending to marry again into the same conditions they had in their previous marriages. The pending karma of the divorce can be lifted when one partner asks the other one, three different times, to get together again. If the other partner refuses three different times, the asking one has the karma lifted off. If they do try being together again, the union will last until the problem is worked out, or the debt is paid. In all, marriages are either learning experiences or rewards.
The earth has the greatest amount of serpent power in its vibrations of any other planet in our system. The reason that the sex vibratory force is called “serpent power” is because the snake kingdom has the greatest amount of this force.
The symbology of this fact crops up in the scriptures of various religions. In Catholic symbology we see a world entwined by a serpent and Mary (the mental body) is standing with her foot on the serpent’s head. This symbol signifies that it is a person’s mind which must control the serpent force--the greatest force in our world. Only the Christ power permeating the etheric envelope of the earth is greater than the serpent force.
Etheric entities peopling the lowest levels of the inner planes of being which are known as the demonic kingdom, thrive on this earth force and prey on the human kingdom through its sex activities. And that is the reason for the golden etheric ring evoked to encircle the couple being married. No entity of the demonic genre can penetrate to feed on the creative energy generated by the sex act. The sex act attracts the demonic kingdom to feed on the sex vibrations.
The Bible story of Adam and Eve and the serpent, refers to the earth’s characteristic of sex power. It is this power which sorcerers use in their coercive activities.
Curiously, it is the avowed decision of the Hebraic Hierarchy to transmute the serpent power of the earth and establish a heaven on earth. This redemption would entail etherealizing of the matter aspect. Matter’s cycles of manifestation give built-in corruptibility. The only way for the earth’s serpent power to be transmuted, seems to be by fire. If humanity does not do it by playing around with nuclear forces, perhaps an astronomical event will do it for our planet.
Next to the serpent, the cat of the animal kingdom has the most sex vibrations. Ancient Egyptians sought to pacify, assuage, mitigate the preying activities of the demonic beings by sacrificing cats to the group spirit of the cat kingdom lusting for blood. It is the female of the spirit cat couple who has this lust. She appears black, when seen clairvoyantly.
The male counterpart is white. He collects individualized cats and holds them in “cat heaven,” where the individualized animals are kept in abeyance until the next life wave of humans is released for evolvement of consciousness.
The Egyptians were also aware that the human kingdom has the task of transmuting the sex energy into a spiritual creative force which is not destructive and is accomplished by the power of the mind. The headdress worn by their rulers has the ureaus, a cobra head projecting from the front above and between the eyes.
The Beings serving God, whose special charge is working with humanity, who are under the leadership of the Christ, have the task of preparing humanity for the periodic reappearance of the Christ. The Beings are of the Angelic Hierarchy and under the rulership of the Second Person of the Holy Trinity. They work at the cleansing of the earth’s aura which is cluttered with the accumulated debris built up through the perverse use of the serpent power. At the time of the cleansing, the demonic kingdom is bound up, lessening its power for two thousand years, but the infernal kingdom wreaks havoc for a hundred years before the reappearance of the Christ.
The bloodthirstiness of the earth is well known. There is not a nation on earth that has not purchased it’s sovereignty with the blood of its inhabitants. Violence is its natural attribute. Savagery is its normal activity. Humanity is the enemy of the earth and its nether etheric kingdoms.
The Christ power is the only aid humanity has to protect itself. “Christ be with me” is a most potent mantra for protection and standing in the light is important to visualize. The Lord’s Prayer, Ninety-First Psalm, and the Great Invocation are gifts to cherish by humanity, beset now by the powers of darkness with its assaults via sexual perversions, music of the jazz/rock and roll variety, violence, crime, horror programs on television, prurient motion pictures and stage productions. Manifestations of destructive effects are drug addiction, venality of officials in government positions, fraud, openly operating necromancers, and despicable acts devouring the lives of gullible weak-willed individuals.
As the advent of the Second Coming of the Christ nears, a spurious spate of teachers has come out of the East to brainwash our youth with their own brand of mind control. These self-proclaimed saviors have no marks of Christ incarnate manifesting.
There are myriads of false gurus, rishis and such, lured to the Western world by greed to amass wealth at the expense of gullible slaves who give their lives over to these exploiters, making them rich beyond their wildest dreams. All of them have been deluded by the powers of darkness.
The true Christ-infused individual, will gather all of Christianity into one body. One of His tasks will be the updating of the Islamic teachings and raising their consciousness from the sacral center to at least the solar plexus. The daily obeisance of forehead to the ground and tail bone to the sky has not done enough in emptying their heavens and raising them to the higher planes of spirituality. The Eastern world is still wallowing in sensuality in spite of its inspiring philosophies.
THOU SHALT NOT STEAL. The eighth Commandment not to steal can work havoc with one’s sources of supply if it is disobeyed. By stealing one loses ten times the value of the item stolen from one’s cornucopia. There is more involved than that, however. Should one overcharge, ten times the amount overcharged, goes out of one’s cornucopia and goes into the cornucopia of the ones who paid more than was due.
As for interest on borrowed money, 6% is the law. It took “six days” to create the world, and 6% is the work of the loan in bringing wages. However, curiously, the charging of interest on money also has to do with light. Money, in its esoteric sense, is energy. God’s first act in creating the universe, was “Let There Be Light.”
In researching the connection between interest charged on loans and light, a possible explanation occurs. The speed of light is approximately 186,282 miles per second. In a theosophical reduction of this number, we get the answer “9.” The esoteric part of “9" belongs to the higher plane of the Christ discipline.
Thus, everything above 6% interest charged by one under the Mosaic discipline is usury. It results in the excess paid over 6% being subtracted by a multiple of ten from the money lender’s cornucopia.
The one under the Christ discipline has everything over 9% interest charged considered as usury. And ten times the amount overpaid is deducted from the lender’s cornucopia. The practice of tithing ensures one a continuous flow of resources from the universal storehouse.
Another interesting fact to learn about this Commandment is its connection with TIME.
We are reminded of our allotted span of a lifetime in the Bible as three-score and ten, thus seventy years, according to the Piscean dispensation, as it follows the Aries dispensation. Not enough people of the Aries dispensation have advanced into the Piscean one, and there is a lot more left to learn. That is why the old life span is still in effect, as stated in the Mosaic discipline.
Why seventy years as a life span? In the ordered scheme of our earth’s existence, seven, as a law, was set into motion at its creation. And ten is the law of karma, which has a very close connection with one’s etheric body. Thus, there are seven ages of man in physical incarnation. Seven multiplied by the ten of karma gives us seventy.
Also, on the Tree of Life, there are ten stations (Sephiroth), even as there are ten dynamic generating centers in a human--seven in the body and three in the head.
There is also another, little known fact about life spans. The human evolves the same as everything else in the universe. And a human is a product of the four elements of material manifestation--earth, air, fire, and water. When the human has mastered governance of the laws of the four elements, as he must because he is a cosmos in miniature, a microcosm of the macrocosm, he becomes a master of the minor initiations of earth, air, fire, and water.
When that happens, he starts working on a higher level that is the next step up in the evolvement of consciousness. He gets one more addition to his original ten centers of the body, because he now has conscious contact with his soul. This is seen as a golden ball directly over his head. There is a thread coming down from it and it is anchored in the heart.
By this addition, he now has a rule of eleven--a mystical number of vibrations. This eleven is multiplied by the four of the elements giving forty-four, which are added onto the original seventy. Now we have the new life span of one hundred and fourteen years.
Evidence shows that the life span does not adhere to the allotment always. Since a human being has free will which makes him in charge of his own destiny subject to the karma he has generated, there must be some factor interfering with the fulfillment of the allotted time span for a lifetime.
In effect, there are all kinds of interferences--illness, accidents, suicides, assassinations, and other kinds of killings, or death dealing events. All the events have a karmic condition precipitating them, which means that the individual is responsible for bringing on the conditions that are coming about.
What karmic conditions involving the duration of time in relation to life spans, could there be? Wasting time occurs to one’s thoughts. Killing time is another, but that is synonymous with wasting. Then, there is stealing of time, because it involves the taking away of another’s use of his own time.
Those working for hire who do not give of their labor for the time allotted, are stealing. And ten times the amount of the hours, days and so on will be deducted from their life span, either in the current life or in a future one.
Another pernicious practice of this type of stealing is to demonstrate one’s power by keeping others waiting. To keep others waiting deliberately is, in effect, stealing of another’s use of his own time. And the effect of stealing is always ten times the original value of the theft that is taken away from the thief’s possession. Use of time pertains to the allotted time in the life span and that is where the deduction occurs, multiplied by ten. Obviously the atonement may involve several lifetimes before the scale is balanced.
Unavoidable delays can be made up by giving the waiting one the time equal to the length he was kept waiting. Or, a payment made of a gift equal to the value of the time wasted because of one’s delay. A worker can make up the time wasted by working overtime to make up for it, and that without remuneration.
An employer also can abuse the time of the employee, by demanding hours and days beyond the agreed time span to be allotted to the labor, without giving payment. This abuse is leveled most often at management and supervisory personnel, who are salaried. Should the salary not be commensurate with the time allotted to the labor, administration officers have the karma to adjust.
Thus, in the scheme of the ordered universe, everything is accounted for. Appointments made must be observed. Whoever is responsible for delays will have the deduction made from his time. Where an audience is kept waiting, the time factor includes the number of people in the audience, resulting in a prodigious number of hours to be made up by the ones holding up the event. Entertainers can make up for this by giving benefit performances.
Where employment includes waiting on people and there are lulls, the employee can busy self with self-improvement of some sort during the lulls, and this gives the employer credit for giving the employee this privilege of the use of his time.
Executives who learn of this law, will pay more attention to the callers waiting in outer offices.
Guests will arrive on time specified on their invitations, regardless of social arbiters’ dicta regarding times of arrival at social functions.
Whose law can transcend the Cosmic’s?
Some appointment makers insert the word “about” in front of the specified time, or add “-ish,” like in eightish, to the word denoting time and one can then arrive within the hour after the appointed time.
Transportation facilities specify “estimated time of arrival,” and of departure, thus not invoking the time law into operation.
THOU SHALT NOT BEAR FALSE WITNESS AGAINST THY NEIGHBOR. The ninth Commandment covers slander, gossip, lying, deceit, verisimilitude, and misrepresentation. To a clairvoyant these acts by another present no difficulties in verifying what one is hearing, because the liar is seen with black balls and specks jumping out of his mouth as he speaks. When there is present also the intent to harm grievously by untruths, a clairvoyant will see a forked tongue flicking in and out of the deceitful one’s mouth. The American Indians spoke truthfully about forked tongues when the American governments’ officials made treaties with the Indians and had no intentions of honoring any parts of them, as mentioned previously. To repeat, as more people evolve their consciousness into clairvoyance, lying of any type will become impossible. The advertising business will surely go bankrupt.
Karma for this involves the powers of speech.
Use of fiction in story telling or writing of novels has the aim of amusement and diversion, or of illustrating a point, or of teaching. It does not generate karma.
One should not “Tell the truth for their own good!” Here again, the aphorism, “Silence is golden” has merit.
Where advice is sought from one about something where truth would be devastating, one can always refer the asker to a recognized authority in the subject or field of interest who will provide the seeker with an answer.
Advice received from an authority may have a positive effect in pointing out the deficiencies in appearance, deportment or any other inquiry of the requester for an answer.
Critics reviewing for media need to remember that it is their own viewpoint which they are expressing, and it may not be a universal one. They should say so in effect when they give a review, and that will negate any karma they generate for themselves. The positive aspect of what is being reviewed should not be omitted, and all sincere efforts should be recognized.
The most evil practice, engendering dreadful karma to its perpetrators, is propaganda. This is most often based on verisimilitude. Propaganda not only involves the karma of falsehood, but it takes away freedom of choice, the God-given right of every human being. The karma for that is slavery of some sort in conditions out of which there is no release.
THOU SHALT NOT COVET . . . The tenth Commandment has an interesting manifestation to the clairvoyant. The one coveting will have tendrils and bands emanating from his aura. These extrusions wrap themselves around the coveted subject or object. It becomes psychic stealing if the desired object is owned by another, who is not strong enough to protect what he is using. He might even lose it in one way or another. This is the basis of necromancy in which work is accomplished on the etheric levels.
The price to pay is devolvement of consciousness to lower and lower levels. When not stopped, it can shatter the incarnating principle. This was the fate of Hitler at his judgment. He lost so much in evolvement through coveting the whole world that his incarnating principle shattered into millions of sparks, all of which went into an ant heap in Africa. How many millions upon millions of years will it take to assemble that principle into a unity which eventually may become a human being again?
The Eleventh and Twelfth Commandments
The Ten Commandments relate to the constellations of the zodiac. The added two Commandments that Jesus gave complete the number twelve.
In a way, the Commandments are tests or initiations, into higher states of consciousness, as they are mastered. The eleventh and twelfth Commandment are taken up by people on the Christ Path.
