Questions & Answers- 26th June 1991

UPON returning home, during length and breadth of vast journeying back to the Father, one shall find the long lost brother. There are many prizes in development, but what greater prize than the insight into the heart of the world-family and the realization of the inextricable bonds conjoining one to one, all to all.

Such reality is never in truth denied. However, the inner quest belongs in the outer realms, as too the outer quest must be perceived with eyes visioning inwards.

The key to all quests must firstly and steadfastly be conducted through morality. Morality of itself unveils the spirit of the Father and therefore the spirit of Man. Never underestimate the moral path. The devilish concepts would deny the forthrightness of conscience and cringe from the attitude which savours work and eagerly answers all commissions. Such denials do inhibit that man who would otherwise come to know for himself his place in the world.

Deceptions of self demand that a man be so preoccupied that no time is spent for self reflection. However, those who would be liars or cheats do but waste themselves chasing false goals, which if ever realized, whip from the tail and turn upon their keeper without mercy, provoking much sorrow and hardship.

All men must continually ask of themselves: "For what purpose do I live?" Morality practiced, is a self-evident Truth. Do men really wish to excel their effectiveness? If so, there is only one road to travel. Do men continually hinge hopes on some future acquisition, material or in soul? And if so, to what purpose?

We must learn anew to pick up from childhood the talent of inquiry and right questioning. To question is to quest. As a would-be marksman with golden arrow springing from bow, pick up the arrows and keep trying. We must first pluck the arrows from our own heart and then send them forth.

"But how may one question if there is indeed no interest?" one may ask. And further on, "Why is there no interest?" As children we hold profound interest in the world, so much so that ten questions may blurt out in the space of a single minute. The questions well up and the child demands to be answered. Although sometimes they have great difficulty putting into actual words those questions that have much attention and urgency of moment. If an answer is offered by a grown-up child (an adult), it is rarely comprehended by the struggling and enthusiastic consciousness of the child. 

The answer may cease the question, but it does not lead to more questioning. Sometimes the adult may even encourage this and turn the child away, not understanding the importance of such questioning.

The child questions everything. Vocal or not, the child tests everything put before them in every way. This too the adult may feel bound to prohibit at the necessary times. There are years of inquiries being quashed. There are years later of explanations given that do not explain - and the result is that the spirit of a natural love of inquiry is almost extinguished within the consciousness of the growing individual. Doors seem continually to close as quickly as one approaches them. Slam, slam, slam!

There is no demerit in an adult further questioning and participating with the inquiry of a child. The child needs the freedom to form questions, which largely he can answer for himself - discovery in both the outer and inner worlds. Firm answers are too tightly structured for the growing consciousness: "It could be this", "It may be this" or "Perhaps", is a far gentler approach. For in reality the questions of children are so complex and far reaching that a single statement of answer, would never suffice to encompass the truth or reality of that which really is.

However, when the satisfaction in the constructing of a really good question has been denied by ridiculous answers day after day, year after year, it is small wonder that small children grow into uninspired large adults.

Adding to this sadly enough, is often the hollow replacement of what should have been moral guidance, achieved through implicit example on behalf of the adults. Stern to say, but does one ever consider the morality of competitive sports, and the attitude of competitiveness which follows through to every aspect in our criticisms and judgments of society's less fortunates? Education is based on a grading system, dividing one from another, rather than acknowledging knowledge and the merits thereby.

Disappointed and disorientated children grow with expectations of the same throughout adult life. And expectations usually are realized - self-prophecy of constant glibness.

So as adults there is much to re-learn, remembering that we, as our parents, do not hold complete answers in any field of thought. Answers are illusive. Firstly, we must regain our talents of inquiry. Ask and keep asking regardless of answer, as true answers lead on to more questions and never satisfy of themselves.

True study requires observation and the accumulation of concepts which build and fill the puzzles of complex realities. The hard and fast answer does not lend to consideration or study, rather it gags the mouth of the inquirer and ties the thought into knots of meaningless threads. Unravel the knots and begin again.

The Scale of the Seven Fiery Elements- 25th June 1991

 THERE are seven sacred ethers, dependent upon the seven fiery elements that permeate such ethers. Qualities of substrata, electro-plasma, bio-radiation, shaktiput, quasi-radiation, kama-losta (subdivine), and divinity- seven fiery elements so named today.

It is apparent upon the withdrawal (or more precisely the forcing out) of one or more element, that one encounters paralysis in the physical constitution. Such ethers run in currents, much alike to the blood and water that permeates the physical body. In fact both blood and water contained, carry the seven etherical fluids. 

There is a fractionalisation that occurs, as with the force that pulls the crystal into form. However, crystals and man turn to rigid structure - obstinate, immovable, unnegotiable - when one or more is removed from its freely flowing state.

A septenary man is a whole man. A man may function as a sexenary man who cannot move new thought. The desires may freeze and one or more of the sensory perceptors may be locked, denied and subsequently become useless. The limb system or the nervous system may settle down into quiescence from chaos and become paralytic.

The etheric body itself may be interrupted by extraneous stresses, such as poisons and physical conflict (accident and violence). The man's astral body may set about devouring the etheric vitalities, sapping the lower of the fiery elements, whereupon astral mutations occur leaving the original form of the man hideously altered into that which has over extended in some aspects and withered in others.

Arthritic conditions that freeze the joints and deter free movement are a crystalline condition that is without the fiery element, necessary to ensure the fluidic movement in those regions- usually an overdrive of astral activity, interrupting the balanced circulation.

One rarely sees a Downs Syndrome child who has not the plasticity in the limb system the finest gymnast would surely envy. The balance and direction of these fluidic ethers have been mostly determined in the formative years and then later on the individual may or may not alter such flows. Of course, the unfortunate imbecile is born limp and without control. But this is not of the same cause. It pertains rather to the relationship of the will as a directive, and usually malformed organs (in astral makeover), which deny certain etheric vitalities to circulate.

The seven fiery elements pertain to the spectrum, the virtues, the seven Angels of inspiration, and the seven essential forms. (Combined we have a white, divine sphere! Joke.)

As said before, the ethers carry as a vehicle the embodied elements, and the etheric vitalities of themselves become apparent in warmer climates, as opposed to freezing cold. (Remember the tropical fish are of the warm waters, by the way.) Such colors as representing the fiery aspects of fiery elements are, as before stated, more apparent in warmer regions. Physically speaking, the mobility and frequency and potency of such etheric forces (of the first three) are utilized more compatibly in the human constitution in such warmer climates. When the sickly or the elderly seek out the warmer regions for respite, it is with intuitive desire for such warmth, in order that the three lower etheric vitalities may move around the system freely.

In such cases (overstimulation of the two higher above) the three lower may lead to corruption of the wanting physical system. Of course, if the seventh has been severed from use, certain death ensues. The constitution becomes as a ball of string set to unravel and is no longer motivated to be contained.

Fiery passions ignite the astrality and stress the flow of lower or higher ethers which do not pertain to the lower passions. This, as with any other stimulant, is detrimental to the sickly constitution. Physical warmth, personal warmth and soul warmth, is vital to the interaction and expression of the etheric fluids that invite the fiery elements to run their course. Neither extremes of heat or cold will set perfect conditions, although for a time can be endured and at best respark certain activity.

Music speaks to us of the arrangement of the seven fiery elements. Here we have a profound effect upon the constitution of the listener. Radical remedies are to be left to the specialist, and are rarely better than short-term. However, the qualities and effects that music brings to the ethers, is as a complex weaving with enchanting grace of perplexing creativity.

One may call upon the fiery elements and promote such effect, through the correctly pitched note/s. This was a sublime gift given to Man - as yet, for the main, unrealized in attribute. There are many unrecognized gifts awaiting Man's attention and music is certainly one of the best. The effects may enter into the constitution and flow around in a way that no tonic or fragrance can benefit. If the morally corrupt were played the appropriate sequence (resounding heavenly choir), they could not but be moved to tears of remorse and gratitude. The depressed, and indeed any form of paralytic malady, can be moved on out of such a condition by the gentle force and curative qualities of that music which carries in its very substance, the seven fiery elements.

So through this divine medium man may enjoy bathing in ethers which revivify his physical wellbeing, and infill his personality with lofty inspiration. Speaking too of the divine: circulating freely through the veins, expiring through perspiration.

The key to cold fusion is that of the correct notation. The disasters of radiation are the unheard pitch. The ballerina could not perform without her music. Sound imposes etherically. It is the sequence, and rhythm that conjures the pertinent influence.

Inspiration and health are to be supped from the elixir of life – music, music which calls forth the fiery elements into the ether and to Man.

The LOVE of TRUTH & a Sieve for Panning for GOLDEN Precepts- 1991

WHO is above self correction? Is there a pure man who needs only to bathe once a year?

Christian motivationalists have the essence of a good doctrine when it is applied firstly and foremost to every other man, before themselves.

One must be tardy when approaching solemn truths, and yet with the boldness of children who defy social sensibilities, we face the mysteries of the world and abruptly rebuke them - in ignorance, in attitude and pretence - that such mysteries are no longer worthy of our attention. Such is an unrequited love, when we turn from the mysteries of the world. 

Truth stands lonely awaiting on hilltop, ever disappointed that her lovers do not recognise her anymore. But instead, they run into the arms of another. They embrace the images of hoof and clover, they prize the self-portrait, reinstating, reaffirming all of the while that their marriage to their doctrines denies the company of any other.

So often Truth is denied in this way, forbidden to enter where such doctrine does dwell, lest she come between the old lovers: the man and his self-chosen society. But she will wait and she will endure. Truth remains when doctrine has ceased its usefulness. Truth has insight beyond the concepts expounded and ignited in any age.

The young seek their love with inspiration and great enthusiasm, and when they find the image of Truth reproduced in a doctrine or a system of faith, understandably they cease to inquire, being content that they have found their true lover. Faithful, they cling to this society or religion, so faithful that they dare not move outside of the circle. . . but Truth, unlike a society, is free from the marks of Man. Truth will not conform and will not be bound by chains to the feet of her lover. So the weight at the other end of this said chain is not Truth in captivity. She will freely give and give of herself, but will not be altered or bound in liberty of expression by any man. It is a false lover that bends to the whims and demands, who cajoles the wayward personality and assures them all work is done and achievements are over.

To find the free spirit of Truth one must look ever anew. Are we to be satisfied with one who merely resembles Truth? Many are. When Truth smiles at you and the radiant comprehension fills heart and enlightened mind, such sweet experience is a most happy recollection, tinged with sorrow at the intimate joy just past. Do not fret, she shall come to you again; but not of chains and by fettered approach - only the false lover is compelled in this way.

The iron will does seek to drive all desires inward, magnetised to attract that which suits twin images of personality. The will is for self-mastery, not for mastery over that which it cannot affect. The will of iron knows not the golden truth. It is the heart which is kindred, that attracts the gold of truth- to sieve through the grit and expel it accordingly, to pan the worldview and find the true gold. Oft times it is in such expulsion of self-values that in one sack of grit, one speck of real value is recovered.

Such labor never ceases. When labor ceases and true purpose is cast aside, we cease. False lovers offering comfortable alms may satisfy a personality, who, like attracting like, gives certain pleasure to themselves. The false lover will whisper to you of all you want to hear, entertaining the self-satisfying nymph who whispers of self, religion or politic. 

The soul of man is not satisfied so easily. The soul of man craves the company of his beloved: of Truth. There is no comfortable bed for the soul in doctrine. Rather, the soul's spirited passion is in searching for Truth, and the moment realized of grand and exquisite encounter again and again.

Social Work- 22nd June 1991

MISSIONARIES of the past were visionaries. Courageous and blinded to the outer conditions, they went forth with determined grit. As known now, both wonderful and harmful consequences ensued from such well-meant offerings. In the clamor to reach the poorer naive races (as was thought), the missionaries presence if nothing else, changed those tribes and races irreparably, almost from the start. With the benefit of hindsight would they, the crusaders, have managed their tasks differently?

The issue today is spent. There remains no people untouched by the affinities of others pressing in on them. Many a concerned anthropologist wonders of the changes in recent years whereupon so many are influenced for the better or for the worse in global marriage. Few seek now with fervor to convert a people religiously. The same enthusiasm is now in the field of health and healing. The fieldworkers as such, bring knife and needle, sterilize and immunise- often imposing yet further. Their forefathers in charity, of course, introduced many an ill to the very same people they are now trying to bandage; and with much of the same bloody-minded righteousness, they return again and again with the thought of the day. 

As before, the tasks are almost insurmountable- bloody-minded righteousness is necessary. They accept the risk of professional blunders, as weighed against a chronically desperate society. In truth, many a society has decayed and the remains are corrupted; the limbs are withering, the soil eroded.

The armies of men and women who move about the world in activities seeking assist the developing countries are just about the finest folk, who are to be admired. For all of their aspirations and hopes, their battle for resources, their struggle with climate and even harsher heads of state, not one singly or the whole collectively could answer you with a complete remedy.

If one can turn one's attention now to the condition of men globally who suffer spiritual poverty, the sorrow is no less than the overview of that which is taking place in the developing and declining races of today. There are oppressive regimes and decaying remnants, the 'modern world' presses in and with that brings inner diseases, the wastelands, the deserts, the floods, the poverty of soul and spirit. The light has disappeared from many an eye. One can see a dullness of expression of a spiritually lost and forlorn people. The would-be missionaries of this realm encounter the overwhelming prospects of the risks that interference brings, and the risks that denial does also.

We need not venture abroad to witness firsthand those people who are destitute and in need. Such suffering is to be encountered within one's own family and at every corner of every street. The men and women falter and are frightened. They are confused about the world they live in, as most interpret their environment and their colleagues to be unfriendly, almost hostile, unknown to them. Most folk have ceased to wonder at their existence before the age of ten. One cannot judge such people harshly or encompass fully the needs of the forlorn.

Here is the calling for straight and honest speech, renewed dignity, the nurturing of a kind thought or word, an uncorrupted deed, integrity within and without, a loving mind and a thinking heart - yes! a thinking heart! These and more we can offer.

The push and shove in the world of ideas encapsulates and overwhelms most men. There are many would-be saviours who have awaited an opportunity, cunningly navigated, to step in and catch the fallen, to claim the weak and lost. The business of converting another is questionable to say the least. It is one thing to water and weed a rose bush, but another matter entirely to graft on a lily.

Objectives must be decided at the start, so if nothing more one can then view the mistakes of the future with some clarification. Who may claim total overview as to another's destiny? Social work is an unconscionable endeavor indeed.

One must restrain the desire to effect change on another, but rather nurture the desire of offering assistance- to desire to serve rather than to master. For in obedience to those we most humbly do adore and therefore try to emulate, we look to the ways of Christ and of the Father: not to a dictator, nor persuader, nor pretender. Rather to be in the service of all, ever ready when called- to desire to serve rather than desire to master.
