Agility & Harmonious Conflict- 25th April 1993


Dear and Kindly Soul to whom all men do pledge their worth,
Come to us who are in servitude,
That we might be your hands and your feet, your heart and your mind,
Speak that you would speak.


Humble Master, let fretfulness not scorn Thee,
Though our disobedience must trouble Thee;
We crave your Grace, thy parcels of Divinity;
Though oft with sorrow, thy Beauty also. . . as is, in Godly measure.


SALUTATIONS to all good teachers of the World and her Humanity! To each enlightened spirit, who with fastidious and untiring employ is keen to revolutionize men to vibrant reform! Their testimony to fame is alive and displayed in good works as perpetuated. We, if we strive so, may become sincerely bonded with 'likeness' and intimate knowledge of the high spirits who selflessly work the Globe as needed, as called.

To offer oneself back to God is prerequisite for joining this effort, this party. It is to come to the knowledge that no matter how grand, how comprehensive our being may be, our ego dwells rightfully within the Ego of God. Pity those who do not know this true glory attributable to Him.

So often there are concerns that a 'man with a mission' who claims to be 'doing God's work' may be deluded in explaining his actions conveniently thus. Yet the point so often missed is that the man does willingly submit to God's Will; he does not become God on behalf of God, nor even representative.


I shall not go where the winds do take me,
Nor shall I follow the cunning or the fool:
I shall always be rooted right here in our God,
And knowingly strive to shape His Directions;
And then, I will go where the winds do take me,
And gladly heed counsel,
From the cunning and the fool.


A bit Zen? Not really. To the Zen it need not be said.

We owe much to the striving souls who have gone before us. At times we are awash with a compelling gratitude, from which springs pure service.

Verily the goodness of the work is at its best when one comes to the catchment of ceaseless love. Unquestioning, the noble souls adhere themselves to that which would appear undesirable, even repelling. For it is particularly so to those who have advanced a little, to find that that which needs their concentrated effort most, is indeed that which they themselves have just struggled to escape. However, there is a strength and a vigor and a certain rejuvenation when one is embattled repeatedly on same ground, same territory; and has already struck personal victory, returning to battle on behalf of other men.


In Cosmic terms, much of the spiritual struggles are viewed from above as a 'push-me-pull-you' battle enraged. Men blithely continue on unawares, quite ignorant to 'argument' and straining tensions which occur just outside of their immediate membranes of containment. These membranes are those which separate each from everyone; also the membrane of the Globe, similarly so.

For it is with great credit owed, that we can say that such argument has not overrun the world at large. There is either conflict or harmony. Sometimes it is necessary for conflict to be coerced into 'conflicting harmoniously'. An example of this is the relationship of the dual-nature organs which partake in the formation of the human constitution. The stomach combusts with a conflict which is harmonious to the digestion of fiery life. The conflict is directed to purpose, otherwise it should be disagreeable to the very 'matter' which the other organs are comprised of.


 The muscles are in conflict to themselves, and this is how they work; however, in obedience to the will which determines moment to moment 'which side' the conflict is favoured. The Divine Will precipitates the activity of the muscle-function which is regular and of rhythm (the heart, the lungs, the unconscious drive of the gut etc.); whilst the coordination of the limbs and eyes etc. are of the will of the individual concerned. When eyes focus there is argument of muscle contracture, which is to good purpose, and therefore becomes a harmonious conflict.

In the spiritual world there is argument, because there is forever possibility. 'More than one' brings us possibility of one-on-one, which is duality, yes, or if inharmonious it is certain conflict also. We are forever testing and reasserting our relationships by the equation of 'it and I', 'them and me' and so forth. Yet, there is a further equation one can come to, which permits for harmonious conflict each and every time. That is: God/I + ... - in other words, if we consciously presuppose our affinity, our binding God-ego with that of our own, then that which comes 'up against us' is obliged to come to us accordingly.

The conflict is absorbed by the overriding tendency towards such harmonies as known only to the equation of the God-ego. Furthermore of course, it is addressed from one to another. For all that there is, does also secretly belong to God also. Whosoever is before me, and ordinarily in conflict to me, must - on higher levels - be spoken to in aspects which necessitate harmonious interaction: from God to God, rather than man to man.

If the ego of a man is adhered to that of a group-ego-entity, then on the other hand there will be conflict with all else that does not share such signature.


Our characteristics within our personal nature, oft times war against each other. A man inwardly holds tensions between reality and his hopes, perspective of self and true self, between personality and soul tensions of former life and current expression, between loves and gravitations, between strengths and contemptuous weaknesses. These conflicts and more, which are not to be resolved or even ordered, may at best be conducted harmoniously so as to starve the strife as best as possible and contend with the rest moment to moment.

From such conflicts do we come to know agility. Agility in time, out of time, affords us the ability to change and therefore evolve progressively. The Cosmic essence of Agility is a remarkable complement to fixed law and stationary status. Inanimate objects which have not agility (only decomposition or disintegration) are those which are not ensouled or lively: life imbued. A chair is inanimate: not agile unless compelled by an extraneous force governed by a will projected. Therefore we have those stationary objects given in the world to remain or decease - unless interfered with - and we have life, which does not remain the same minute to minute and does not decease. (Whilst it is alive: if it is deceased it is no longer 'life' as we know it.)

Our thinking process may be lively and agile and capable of advancing, expanding, incorporating etc.; or if there is no 'life' connection in our thinking it may become sclerotic, inanimate, non-progressive, unchanged until decease.

"Anything which stands still, dies" - without agility, cosmic agility, there becomes imminent death. For death clears away inanimate matter: it overruns in the conflict of life. Whilst living, we are in conflict with death, we withstand the very forces which would tear us apart, break us down; and the membranes we move in, allow for tension either side. Without agility the muscles seize, the bones knit, the thinking freezes, and the man begins to withdraw from the conflict which is the world. He seeks to return to God, that all may be placed in order and harmony resumed.


Heaven, the experience after death, gives back to a man much strength which he did spend, and more. There there is harmony, and the conflict, the necessary conflict, sounds from outside as distant waves lapping rocks and breaking stone. But man is soothed and not troubled by the ceaseless motion of the waves he hears.

We know from our experience of Heaven, that the sweet strength of Heaven always resumes after strife, and verily, in truth, man departs out into the waves of conflict with great joy at contest: splashing around, ducking and leaping, surfing and skiing; qualified with agility, determined and refreshed every time.

For Prayers


We pray today
That all prayers of this moment,
Silent or spoken,

To form any prayer –
May they be attended
In Love and in Grace
By the Mercy of Thee
Dear God.
Amen

Comments on a Spiritualist Meeting-19th April 1993

"BEWARE the fool's advice" was a good and worthy proverb. A fool's wisdom perchance, is certain, certain to be neither intended nor directed. The soothsaying stars and the cards and projections of the adept, were never random, but rather as precise as they could be. One must never place another man's intuition before one's own in matters that concern you and not he. Well meant or not, even the 'guidance' of a select few who have departed, may not be worthy of unquestioned consideration.

It is good for men and women to be reminded that they are loved, and in truth coddled in such loving emanations as do stream in upon them as fine as gossamer, as iridescent as phosphorous. And too, that they are encouraged to be mindful of our relative invisible regions, and our true spiritual home, on which the very foundations of this world rest totally.


Dear and sweet comforters, who seek to attend to both the living and the departed, in truth, "they know not what they say"; and oft times, neither do we!

There is an attraction, a fascination, every man experiences when fortunes are cast before them and speculated upon. Generally speaking, if the advice is wholesome and applicable to all men, then it may advance beyond the fanciful; it may, if heeded, be useful.

Regardless, one must question the authority of which, portends disclosure of personal detail. The entire question of predestination has been laid bare also. It can be said that in some regards a man bears witness to himself; that concealed immediately within his aura are evidences of motivations and recollections and offspring of thought- his passions and their persuasions, his visions too, that he himself has projected there in safekeeping for realization in the future. A man is very complex indeed, and it would be no easy task to try to 'read him like a book'.

One can interpret his immediate thoughts and surrounding influences of the day, of the week, far easier, however a medium has not the discernment to know exactly from where the impressions are coming from. For example: it may be that a man is troubled, and this is apparent. The overwhelming picture before the clairvoyant is one of a bucket and a rope formed as a hangman's noose. The second impression is that of a recent burial and all of the trappings that go with the event. The third impression maybe misery - intensely experienced by the sympathetic medium. One might feel justified in presuming that the man before them is on the brink of suicide, even though he may be a farmer by trade and the bucket and noose are merely for a cattleman's purpose. 


You see, one may 'pluck' misery from almost anywhere, particularly at gatherings of the disgruntled deceased who suffer unhappy and shocking remains, both in the memory of the living and in the subtle counterparts still unresolved and undissolved. As for the impression of the burial, it could of course, given the circumstances, have come from anywhere.

Furthermore there are combinations of impressions when one comes to draw from a whole room of people. There may be glaring points, which as a beacon, call out from a man most obviously; but it will not be apparent to a medium as to exactly why. He can only 'go further' with the assistance from the individual being scrutinized.

At best, a man may take opportunity to have revealed consciously to himself some of those outstanding impressions which are burdensome to him, and make address of such with the object to change, heal or disband. At worst, a man who is in the constant practise of consulting a seer, may become open to suggestions of himself which come from anyone or anywhere. So much so, that by relaxing into this condition of openness, the individual is susceptible to other’s impressions of him, whether they are grounded in reality of fact or not. He will be quick to hear the criticisms and praise from butcher to baker; and practised also, in dismissing the lot.

The soul knows when the personality is being deceitful, and no less in the contemplation of self, incorrect and off-centre. If anything, there becomes a true conflict from the disparities; and all men are as uncomfortable with false praise as much as unwarranted ridicule. Many trust to another momentarily, but have decided necessarily at the outset to discard any suggestions which are oblique.

Who are the spirit-guides from whom much testimony and wisdom is imparted? There can be exceptions to this, but in comment to the experience yesterday, the Red Indian guide was not as an Red Indian man, but an Indian Deva personified with the impression of his dearly departed men friends. You see, many of the more advanced and adequate Devas have had long and remarkable bonds with favoured communities, particularly those racial communities which were sympathetic to their existence and perceptive to their spiritual world.

This is why there are innumerable spirits of Red Indians presenting in preference to others (which will remain unnamed). Much of the influence and even love from a people, enriched the ego-less Devas and enveloped them with a synthesis of personality. For at will they may pick-up much of what a man has left behind, particularly when there was a living link between the two: a relationship of which the two have mingled experiences and impressions of each other, whereupon the soul of the deceased Indian has furthered itself and long departed the immediate boundaries of worldly life, whilst his faithful friend- his deva-companion- re-asserts his memory by becoming a representation (living representation) of what the two combined meant to each other during the time of the Indian's life on Earth.

Many of those characteristics that were honestly of the Indian are perpetuated and revivified by a Deva who craves to be closer to this world and communicate as he once used to do. The mediums become a perfect vehicle for intermediary communication, as they genuinely perceive their guides to be living tangibly, as if they were the man himself. Many of the masquerading Devas lose ability to make distinctions themselves and deceive quite innocently, as for all intents and purposes they have memories etc. of all that they speak of.

The genre of the monologue yesterday was harmonious with a gentle and compassionate soul/entity. There was no malice, no corruption, but rather a simple message for simple men eager to be connected to spiritual worlds and spirit-thought. Oddly enough, so many of the humble folk in such gatherings are of course themselves, directly with experience to which the speaking Deva is drawn. There may be far more Red Indian within their bones of recollection and experience than in the guest speaker's persona-invisible.

The 'spirit' guides have been great and helpful servants to men. Generally, if amiable, they hold a great respect and love for men, in accordance with the love echoed in all phases of spiritual influence. They are, or try to be, obedient to their men-friends, and have long provided a link into realms which are impassable for worldly senses to penetrate.

Just as the medium concerned is trusting and open to the companionship of his guide, equally the Deva is trusting and open to him. This forms a peculiar resonance between man/soul and etheric/element. The adopted guide becomes sympathetic and protective of their medium, working proudly alongside their friend in an effort to make communication. Because they are enabled an audience they are grateful to the man or woman who mediates their cause.

It works very well in an otherwise perilous practice, that a medium should enter into a relationship with a reliable and good natured deva-guide. Ultimately it is the overall protection to humble men, who are unaware of the more undesirable entities who queue to take hold of their vulnerable bodies. Even so, there are many, many nervous system disorders associated with such clairvoyance - even with the marriage of guide to medium.

Historically there has always been an intimate connection between the Deva kingdom and Man. Although there is something of a small revival, the period passed of the last five hundred years or so, has shown less and less of an acknowledgment and an asking for assistance through their being in any way, shape or form. Depending much on country, there are marked degrees of the hardening of men's minds and the subsequent 'slaying of the fairies'.

Quite often more worthier Devas are overpowered by the wills of men who are not fit to bid - being corrupt in nature, malcontent in the world. The innocent Devas are repelled, whilst the 'street-wise' mischievous may be coerced into unseemly, unruly behavior and attracted by the very forcefulness of a malevolent magician.

Added to this there are hosts of lesser elementals subconscious in the world, who gravitate to the order of higher compelling individualities- which may be a dandelion, sugar in a sugar-bowl, or a man himself. They may be more or less defined in appearance. Depending upon their personal race, dating back before time - that which was allotted them - they hold various qualities and wisdoms, experience and expertise. They hold the abilities to converse with higher beings and travel into places of the world in which Man is prohibited. Men appear clumsy and inadequate to those who are advanced, but they bear patience in this, for there are qualities in Man which befuddle them greatly - one being his power and domination over them and their world.



There is much heartache within the Deva kingdom as the woes of Men reflect upon the spiritual worlds, rendering paradise as shabby and colorless in pockets of great sadnesses. So they know of responsibility to Man, in effort to uplift his condition and see him through to a further threshold, for if he is to regain true paradise, the coincidental world of the Devas is released into certain evolution by their merit of withstanding.

They are guardians attending both element and plant. Servants to Man, children of Angels, they are attached to a mutual reality - to them our world being as darkness in light. The radiance of men, when encountered, becomes awesome and overwhelming to them; and the conduct of men marks them irrevocably.

For Christendom


Dear and Beloved Christ,
The Empire of Christendom blazes with hope,
Into distant posts with foreign vernacular;
Men everywhere are receiving transfusion.
We pray for the renewal of this, our World.


We pray that the Holy Ghost is quick
To brush up against all men,
And by such touch shall their cloaks of insanity drop away,
And fall from them.
We pray for the idle races,
And likewise too, the corrupt and the cunning.

We look to the Christian World
And ask for reformation and further enlightenment.
We thank Thee Lord, for this, our World.

AMEN

Space versus Nothingness- 16th April 1993


THERE is a fortress enclosure surrounding our Moon, as child Angels clasp hands around the orb. For the would-be-otherwise emanations are such that this Earth could not consume and assimilate; therefore they are held back largely by a protective skin of vigilant warriors.

Moon forces and moon rays were not always as contaminative as they are today. Today they are as death. This is why the astral beginnings of disease organisms may abound, entering into physical dimensions through moon influence. The Sun determines the drag and subsequent spill; the Moon releases, expires another wave, some of which is drawn off as to a loadstone, upon and into the Earth.

The Moon is as one great 'slow-release' tablet dissolving in the mouth of the Earth - who, we might add, extends out (in reality) to that of the Moon's edge. The Moon is captured within the aura of this planet, as it is of this planet. There are concentrated points of activity everywhere of course: those which are explicit, and those which dwell unseen.

'Space' is teeming; however too, perception begets space, as space can be necessary for a defined perception. When we contemplate actual area it is a good humored illusion at best; it is make-up to our present comprehension; it is natural law only to accommodate and separate: a void which is not a void. It is of no matter if it measures twenty cubits or twenty trillion, for the 'weightless, shapeless, formless' space is vacant perception, a fluid of possibility which expands and contracts according to the will of manifestation and the determination of a governing perception.

We are as it were, contained. This is not an endless expansion upon the frontiers of distant systems. However, whilst there is no infinity of the outer perimeter, there is an infinity of the interior. Manifestation always holds very defined planes of expression, each invisible to the other, from high to low; and when one comes to penetrate the higher gradients they come to no end. The lower, yes, has limit, albeit ever expanding, but as to the higher heavens there is no answer: Heaven, High Heaven, Deep Heaven, Impenetrable Heaven etc. 


When Man believed instinctively that the Earth was flat and he should drop off the edge into Space, he was as equally correct as are his notions and concepts of space, distance and expansion today. Man knew of the plateau on which manifestation at any level rests, and the 'nothingness' pushing in at the edge.

'Nothingness' is not possibility, it is not fluid and flexible as Space, it gives over to nothing, and is completely unknowable. Without Space we should become too congested for movement; therefore the insinuations of space are with purpose. They are however, relative only to us, not we to it.

Nothingness is often confused with space and is uncompliant; it calls to the would-be suicide, it is as personal death provoking all souls to escape to higher realms - some say it is as the absolute edge of Father God's Imagination. Having said that we must counteract this way of thinking by adding that all life including Man, is repelled by the Nothingness, which refuses dissolution within it. It is not consuming, nor is it as a black-hole portal to another world; it is what it is: as nothing. Therefore there is no mutual attraction, save in that pocket of our own mind which mirrors in small, such realities as borne by the Divine Mind.

One has enormous difficulty attempting to translate one existence into the experience of another. The means of understanding - i.e. through that of a soul's recollection of experience - is for self-conscious Man too difficult to negotiate well. As well it might be. Comprehension of this very world is altering progressively. There are revelations by microscope, there are computations cast by speculating devices programmed by men, breathing with devils. Men have been forced to give their attention to this world, bereft of their natural clairvoyance. However, they do try to distract themselves from defined perceptions for the main part. Men are not relaxed in the world.

Physical pain is a reminder of our commitment to the flesh and the world that suffers such evolution. Such pain was never intended to be as pronounced as to become intolerable; however, as we are sadly aware, it can and does become such. Men fear pain far more than the resultant mortality. Understandably, for who amongst us would not cringe from the intolerable.


Pain is a driving in of impacting cosmic vitality. The fiery Divine Will is usually concurrent with our healthy physiology, and when there becomes a disruption in the current, the fire is felt: the force of life itself, and it is unceasing until fluidly contained once again.

The fires of Hell are related to this and are by measure more intolerable again. However, no man is indefinitely subjected to this anguish of Will; and though scalded shall pass through quite cleansed for the experience. It is for us to learn how to come through this intensity immune to the flames. Coal walking makes for a novelty, Hell tries a man as he comes before the Divine Will made manifest and either may or may not tolerate the directions of life.
Did you know that 'dunce' once meant deuce, and he who was dismissed as a dunce was given the name for a 'know-it-all'?

Choices- Good Friday 9th April 1993

THE besmirchment of holiness, the degradation of the sublime, "This I do ..." was indeed the one significant event above all others. And at the time, the pain which was met with, resounded out from the planet, extending beyond so as to be chanced upon by all of those amassed in the layers awaiting solemn outcome.

For it was truly at this time that it was possible that our beloved Globe may have been cracked and spent. That the violation which was borne unto Christ would retaliate back upon all life, which was but as His. . . and it was saved by Him.

Herein is remarkable account of that which was a twofold miracle for Man and his related Kingdoms. That by His Strength, His Might, His Determination and His Love, the world and all of its occupants were saved, saved for posterity and also saved from immediate disaster. This disaster passed by merely as an endarkened shudder, because of the choice made in the moment by our beloved Christ. For may He have been tempted to abandon those who did afflict Him poorly, too naive and proud to see His reality before them? And yet from all of this, one can speculate that Christ Himself beheld a vision for the outcome, for the continuance of His Humanity.

Little children so loved Him because they could see Him. Sometimes He would appear as much, much larger, and always smiling unto them. No grief, no condemnation, no whip or bat - and the infants were overcome with joy to play at His feet, and tug at His robe - as a little chap once, running after his Hero, found the fallen cloth and returned it. . .

Within these children, all children, was great and magnificent inspiration for our dear Lord. They were, as it were, His community in which His heart was eased, but also most potent. He need not speak to impart the treasured 'nuance' which was to follow into the world of thought thereafter. He need not reprimand the innocents, for it was they who knew Him, they who would willingly and gladly come to Him, as He to them.

Infant Man is and was adorable! It was the children which brought mercy to a world which perhaps, might have been given over to the proceeds of its own corruption. It is possible.

Yes, perhaps it is negligible to speculate upon this now, and yet the reality is, that were it not for direct intervention by Christ, on behalf of our physical world, it would have been torn and made separate to all of that which spiritually sustains it. This is no small matter; and of course too, there was the larger consideration of the original mission, for which all Men were valued and determined to be of worth. They were weighed and measured and accounted for.

It has been said repeatedly that Man has a future which is somewhat 'open-ended'. In honesty one may say that all things are possible, however today is a day when we do not try to consider the preponderations, but rather remember that Christ Himself has defined Man and endeavors to continue to do so.

Given this, men are not lent to insubordinate hierarchies, but truly coherent to a plan as laid down. Now, there are all of the usual considerations upon this thinking - allowing for exceptional spin-offs, deviations, etc. etc. - however one can say most firmly that the Vision of Man for Men shall be fulfilled.

The Vision of Christ brings to it those who are in accordance with Him, so that even if, for whatever reason, this generation of the World failed collectively to become Christ-men, those who were of Him are by His choice to remain and break away from the body to whom they are related. This is of course is in direct contrast, nay contradiction, to that provision as given by Christ for all Men, namely: He will not forsake them; but yet equally, He may not force their choosing, as this freedom was so afforded them by Him also.

We are in debt to Christ for this our spiritual and worldly life. This debt is uncalled upon, and although relinquished by He to whom we owe, it is a Christian reality to pronounce the tears of gratefulness, of thankfulness, for this our salvation.

He asks for nothing, but hopes for much, and they are potent hopes, mighty visions, if we are so inclined. Thank Christ we did not perish on that low day. We thank also the little children who did give representation of the true seed of Christ-men, as beheld in the future in great hope by our Lord.

Amen
