Fellowships- 3rd July 1991

THERE are streams of individuals who work in a fretwork that encompasses both centuries and the Globe, in which certain unique influences characterize the teachings and involvement they impart- much like the Scottish clan system, whereby many designated parties belong to one country, each with individual symbol, each with characteristics and history dating back to the founding forefathers.

Unknowingly, we have partaken in this way- gravitating to this or that which is akin to the streams we have formerly belonged to: fellowships where past connections link back to sympathies expressed during life and laid down in Heaven; connections for future involvement, recognized or not, with peoples and ideals that are marked as a map on our being.

This is a distinction however from the racial bonds and necessary immigrations that occur from life to life. One may certainly have strong connections with geographical sites and the influences that they hold, also with a bloodline of a people following the course of a certain evolution.

Outside of these influences, which may characterize preferences in worldly perception, there is the fellowship/s that are established through experience, where souls striving are mutually impressed and have desire to work together, to come together some time in the future in mutual assistance. And so these streams of individuals are progressive by nature, as it is a conjoining for future ideals, rather than historic ties.


The establishment of communities by preference and design (rather than estate from one or another) is an outward reflection of such endearing fellowship, consciously recognized and worked through. Of course this doesn't mean to suggest that all folk from a particular stream have the resources or means at hand to be together in same time and place. However, pockets of individuals may gather in this way from such past associations and with future ideals.


The 'commune' is basically a creative venture with mutual sympathies. The monasteries, the cloisters, the retreats, perhaps the five-star hotel, have this in common. Folk have moved on, leaving behind the home and hometown, migrating in flock to weave their own nest with their own string and straw of ideals. 

Much respect is to be given to these endeavors of fellowship, as fresh possibilities and bonds of mutual interaction are gathering together also: communities for the future, not only for the present day. In striving to establish a unit, a social model for the propagation of high living set with the correct values that assist and enable each member to contribute and co-work, they begin to perfect the relationships of man to man in the very striving. Whether or not there are conflicts is of no importance, it is the commitment to the fellowship (not imposed by state or race), that when put to task founds a lighthouse for those in the future who may better the objectives of mutual striving and support.

One need not share the toothbrush to be of good example to this. Actual community need not even imply residence, but to happily acknowledge that there are indeed very real relationships that have been worked through in the past, whereby our involvements and empathies may take fast in future work.

In church and in charity, and many other venues for fellowship, there are wonderful bonds between soul and soul, and marvelous strivings together. Who among us does not need companionship? Were we to drift in and out of life making no friends we should not learn of the satisfaction that comes from the importance of mutual striving and mutual work, rather than self-importance (which on its own, says very little).

Oddly enough, fellowships may have respite periods. It is possible too, that a stamp club today may have comprised the same individuals yesterday who might have been Druids or may have worked together in excavation after a dire earthquake. They may have been bakers who shared the same merchant of spices. They may have been babes all born on the same day. They may have held court as duke and duchess determining land fallows and application.
When people are gathered together under a common flag conjoined, it may appear to be of little significance, however the true significance lies in the effort and in the bonds that are established thereby.

Conformity is not the important point here. The point is that through the freedom of individuality that we all enjoy, we also share divine capacity to embrace and co-work with other individuals and do add to such enterprises, in giving of ourselves and our time. This is fruitful in the common meeting of man to man.

True society will one day be realized. Man must work ever towards that goal of true communion and respect for such fellowships. Not because they are caught in bonds which inextricably tie them to laws imposed by such orders, but that they come to recognize the value of mutual striving and the support then given.

Sacrifice & the Holy Ghost- 1st July 1991

EACH RACE, each people, has its own gorgon, its own dragon which it has fed over time; a depository of sin, a beastie of quantified proportion, that, as in the myths and romances of the past, does hide face in lair, yet threaten the locality.

In the South Americas, where blood rites and sacrifice became such a fixation, to wit: human slaughter, there is now such an influence pervading that lingers heavily. One may tingle to the stench of past blood-letting and the cries of a betrayed humanity.


Geographically, any area which has been given over to tragedy in mass proportions is so marked, as it were, indefinitely; particularly where Man has sided with demon and turned on fellow man, pronouncing sovereignty over a people’s destiny by flinging those souls heaven-bound prematurely, hurling individuals swept with panic and sadness, denying them of a sweet and conscious passing.

Where violent death through violent intent and violation of humanity presides, that ground is so stained, that area so impressed, that the ghosts of the betrayed howl and moan to be heard. Their souls have departed: the individuals have gone on, but the entrails of such sheaths that were ripped so smartly, offcast, still linger and wander the unhappy ground. 


Like feathers plucked from bird, horn or antler torn, in violent death there is incomplete dissipation, and some constituents of the complete and entire constitution are not allowed adequate time to dissolve of themselves. So there are human remnants, remnants of an astrality so darkly impressed with pain and terror that no soul should wish to recover and absorb them. So they are left discarded and polluting that earthly space, where said sheath was first abandoned.

The people's gorgon, their hideous most monstrous pet, does feed upon such remains, having incited and encouraged the crimes firstly that he may swell and bloat on the pickings of the aftermath. Although quite invisible, all peoples who have by wicked means appeased the wretched beast, now suffer an ongoing relationship - the tormenting lamentations of an ever-hungry human-hating creature who ever demands satisfaction.

Cleansing and purification of such areas is as efficient as tweezers are to dusting, or mopping up water with a sponge at the seaside. For the innocent who are to suffer the atmosphere of demonic shrines, there is much illness endured, many intoxicants assimilated. Many a disease is born from such a location: disease that goes out and seeks further in the world that which may satisfy the beast of sacrificial urge.

This is the unsettling fact upon which all wars and conquests are entailed. Not only the loss of that period and certain peoples, but also too, the darkening of that defiled land in which the crimes occurred, and the generations who shall be affected in that region for centuries to come. Just as like attracts like, certain momentum is given to patterns of behaviour and designs of conduct - for better or for worse - affecting vast numbers of individuals in such propulsion, as inclinations and intentions are hurled and carried throughout the worldly arena.

We owe much to our forefathers, not the least which are the afflictions that carry on to present day sufferings. The legacy which we bestow upon our children of the future is therefore of supreme importance. How many ghouls and demons do remain to frequent the Earth, to incite yet more tragic demise?

Sacrifices are usually made in the name of another. But never may they be proclaimed in the sacred name of the Father. With the consequences of such having just been described, so slightly, one can envisage in truth, that with war or with religious enterprise, all tragedy makes for larger tragedies and goes on to make greater those demons of the underworlds.

In the instance of organ transplants, to be blunt and brief: we find that there are those sacrificing others in the name of 'life', and restoring life to those which such organs are shafted onto. Said sacrifice is imposed and the bodily parts so interfered with, that as with violent and tragic forms of death and subsequent dissipation, we have an incomplete deceased individual who cannot withdraw fully through to the higher worlds. There are some remains left behind for a period, long after the rest have dissolved.

These organs are very much of his own creation, they are singularly his, and yet now remaining and furthermore, being impressed and worked upon by another's impressions, another's astrality, which does not relate to his own constitution. It cannot be absorbed. Such disconnected remains (in the astral sense) will, as with the abovementioned, be earthbound for an indefinite period. The soul suffers the loss and the Earth gains another pollutant; which will yet further fertilize the lust of that gross community demon, who lusts after such human off-casts.

When we enter death, we have much to distil from that which we have made and collected of the substance which is attracted to form and design; physical counterparts to subtle bodies are refined and absorbed with vitalities and characteristics, which are of our own being. An individuality determines patterns which extend down into their physical substance and is very much connected, necessarily, with that physicality; even in the case of dismissing such a body in death. However, much like catching the hem of one's garment in a lift door, there is little to be done if the piece of cloth that remains is caught whilst the lift is progressing upwards.

You may take it on our say so for the time being, that dissolution of the physical psyche is far better to be complete, than incomplete. The organs are precious to us, and moreso their subtle stereotypes; for in which we carry many a characteristic, which is shown in personality, in longings, in acquired capacity for interpreting and infilling the individual with heavenly impulses, extracted and transmuted into that which is the physical and astral counterpart, that attracts such activity.

Each function and individual 'growth' that sprouts from an individual and harmoniously accords with higher motivations, channels that substance from Heaven, inspired firstly by that individual. It is as though the very complex and complicated strings of formulae, are recorded within the substance of the bodily functions (and of course in their subtle counterparts). The entities who are so envious of mankind, come as close as they can to humanhood by digesting the essential qualities and strings of experience, that should ordinarily be assimilated up into the higher substances of the refined subtle substance, shortly after death.

The demons (so called for the time being) seek out any part so touched by human design, in a gross attempt to become as similar to this intriguing evolution, which has certainly entertained and incited such attractions in the first instance. Love at first sight! It is a case where mistakenly, an entity who is not of human substance, seeks the experience of human life, which is recorded within the relevant organs (physically and astrally), and mistakes digestion of such experience, as the experience itself.

Worse than that, one may question the origins of these demons themselves and their relationship to humanity. Some, although not all, have foregone the destiny of Man and surrendered their own human qualities. Perhaps in some remorse or dim recollection, they still seek out that, which by rights would have come to them by the human path had they not renounced such a fate. We are speaking of opportunities lost a long, long time ago. However, there are ways which are correct in obtaining our desires and ways which are abhorrent to the order of Heaven. The path to progression is not advancing with a push and a shove up the line. It was that attitude that retained them originally. For now they have little to offer, save the unenviable duty of contrasting good and evil for humanity, playing the 'advocate' and assimilating the waste.

This is why one rarely hears of happy ghosts. In the case of entire sheaths abandoned and earthbound, it is because of shockingly unhappy circumstances, where even the maker, the owner of such a sheath, finds this to be unacceptable to dissolve in the conditions that ensued, surrounding an unhappy departure. A lot of a life's work has been abandoned quite wastefully when this dissolution has not been properly effected. The soul concerned will still however, have gleaned enough impressions to carry forth; but many an intricate detail is also discarded.

Sometimes it is sad to tell it the way it is, with no offering of immediate and long-lasting remedy. However, the way things stand in the world today, prompts us to moving operations for a better existence, and encourages us from that which is ugly, to that which is truly beautiful. Work to change current conditions, with a foresight that continues into a grander environment. Better to convert demons with the inspirations of men, than the entrails converting men to demons.

Christ did sacrifice Himself before any other. If sacrifices are to be made, they must not be imposed but self-decided. Why do men give of themselves to the devil? Why also, would they commit their brothers too? Perhaps, because they know not what they give.

By the power of the Heavens one may give of what is limitless. We are not asked to forgo that which we cannot afford to give. Love propagates, conceives and expels more of the same. We cannot take of another, that which is not ours to have.

Sacrifice is hope applied- hope for certain outcome. Many times outcome is predetermined by the quality and nature of that sacrifice- thus the true importance and distinction of many a sacrifice. For he who makes the sacrifice, through him and by him, such outcomes are half-determined.

Here was the peculiar purpose designed in the violent and torturous crucifixion: that a Sheath of Distinction, now bound to the Earth with Holy Ghost remaining but traveling freely, confronting all souls, imparting, is to remain married to the earthly condition until such time that Earth is totally transformed, having given of Himself truly.

Balloons & Bubbles- 1st July 1991


THE form of the sphere has only been enjoyed by advanced races, rather than the primitive. Children delight in beholding and holding a ball. Historically it is interesting looking to cultures which have conceptualized spheres and reproduced them, and to those who have not made the discovery of the perfect form.

Ball games such as billiards or marbles, bring much enjoyment to the player, in the form, in the momentum gathered in the roll and in the crash of ball clicking ball. Carpet bowls and golf balls, croquet balls and lawn bowls - all of these balls, when flung at great speed, incite spectacular enthusiasm and fascination within the participant.

The sphere has of course the simplest of formulas, nonetheless it is geometrically opposed to that which we experience in life- self-contained, self-enclosed perfection which does not lend its pattern once established, to further propagation of itself. Once a sphere is a sphere of given size, it remains of that proportion.

In the natural world there are few spheres to be found, whereby forms may be conical or elongated - even rocks polished over time do not become as marbles.

Personally we carry two sophisticated orbs, two-thirds hidden, through which we view through. Save for the eyes we have no other spherical organ.

Of all forms the sphere is the most mysterious to Man.

Humble Pie- 29th June 1991

IS HALF of a whole half, a half or a quarter? The elements of the Yin and the Yang as represented, do have their corresponding elements which, vice versa, are represented within the elements of the etheric world. Therefore when one example is of the tone Yin, its etheric counterpart is that of Yang; as too Yang becomes Yin. Therefore we have four quarters of a whole, whereupon only one half is focused upon, being the definitive selection.

This pie concept may be useful in many equations whereupon concepts are fragmented into specified divisions. As with all life, living thought spawns ever anew - expanding to a point, breaking into many divisions that separate and regenerate. Acquired virtues within a man spawn many other properties, imparting essences, etheric essences (not unlike plant products) which circulate the ether and infill and color the locality of the individual who generated such activity. Each virtue has a starry parent and an Angelic host, which through surrender does lend substance that is of itself. Such virtues entertained give birth to fiery thought, the offspring of an individual who shares such relationship with such Angels.


For us to hold concepts of that which are considered to be outward expressions of virtue (in action or in thought), we do but examine part of those influences born in and out of Man. The higher one travels in thought and aspiration, the harder a man may struggle for perfection, the sharper the perception as to the realities which in totality return to the Father in full circle. 

Piety, humility and charity are within our understanding, but parts of a progressive kernel of spiritual activity. They are true living elements of themselves, whose offerings to man are as yet little understood and under-used.

Such virtues are recognized by the virtuous to be of that substance essential to life itself. Would that the scientist could decipher the code of morality, which is in every string and nuclei, every breath and muscle, every wave of light and sound.

Christianity is a dynamic system whereby the mystic at the threshold may enter into sublime communion and divine perception of higher and lower kingdoms. For the precepts held to heart by those obedient to the higher values, do bring them to perceive the heavens through the gifts expanding through the virtuous path. Not by a pledge for power, but by comprehension of that ladder which does climb its way through to Heaven and vision of those ascending from beneath and above.

Humility is the knowledge that no man may hurry the ascension before another. He may not climb on the head and hands of his brother, for he is that ladder. Humility says, "I must go last" and sacrifices that propelling desire for achievement and self-glorification on the altar of humanity's sufferings.
