Looking for HEAVEN- 31st October 1991

TRUE laughter clears away the stagnant thoughts, dispels that which blocks the ethers, and booms a way allowing for dynamic realizations; depending upon the quality and nature of the issue at hand. Without laughter we should be caught so easily within the murk and mire of a fixed perspective, hindered by the gravity of self-gravity, bound perpetually by self-inclination. Even in expansion upon those premise-pivots from which we rotate, we should find little or no great movement, out from which the greater movements swell.

It is true to say that those who have entered upon the dark and gloomy path have lost their great inheritance: that of exploring the most wonderful and vivifying, cleansing and purifying, releasing and enduring, ability to quietly and simply smile and laugh. For a smirk is not as a smile, and an echo of manic chortle is not as a laugh; and for those who have forgotten the gentle approach, they are entrapped in a world impressed with inescapable ugliness, with forlorn prelude.

It is primary to the nature of man, as it is with his higher friends, to greet all manner of outer circumstance in four distinct ways:

1. Is to take that which would make impression upon us outwardly and absorb it into our being: That which is without, becomes within.
2. Is to acknowledge, but know of no such affinity to enable acceptance of the extraneous greeting, and to necessarily deflect it back - usually turning its propulsion back upon itself - denying and rejecting that from the outer, cordoning absorption from within. That which is without remains detached, and once encountered is flung from the boundaries of self.
3. Is to give over such ability of the former two, unto the responsibility of another, and be so affected to absorb that which is without, without the choosing which comes from ability, knowledge, consciousness or self-direction. This is compromise whereupon we give over that which is our self to the directives of natural law, to God or to a demon, and harvest the consequences regardless.
4. Is that of laughter, whereupon we find that we are given reprieve from immediate choice and the impingement is lightened in impeding force. And with the expulsion of laughter we summon great power to either absorb with readiness and magnitude, or deflect back with definite surge and intent. The ability to laugh is to have greater emphasis, with a longer term allowed for in greeting exterial impressions.

Conversely one may hold their breath, as it is with great despair, shock or sorrow, and have little ability to refuse that which is upon them. This is before the gentle expulsion of sobbing or the violent release of wailing, and in such times the pitiable conditions are exemplified, that are sometimes so large and so great as to affect a man to devastation.

Powers of evil seek out the great and inexhaustible impingement. For there can be times when the will of a man is so overcome and stifled and he has not the ability to sternly reject nor summon a laugh, nor capacity to take into himself that which hideously conspires to bond natures with freak perversion. 

The demons have always desired all that the Angels did have. They have never been content with that which is their lot; nor that which is of their making. To try and defile humanity is more for intention to extract something of divinity and have it for themselves; it is not so much a matter of destruction for destruction's sake, as is often presumed.

Of course there has always been the jealous element that would 'shorten all tails' so to speak. But generally those who endure that of the black arts will try every method other than the tried, the proven and the true to find their way into heavenly discourse and become 'better'.

One can see that all striving no matter how misguided, is striving nonetheless. There are inclinations within the very lowest which seek ways of betterment. And whilst they may be utterly despicable and full of debauchery and dreadful deceit, those - the powers of demonic upset - are still nonetheless aspiring to become that which they are not; and this does tell us of their great discontent with themselves and the ways of their own. 


The great sorrows which may befall a man are eased in ways renown. However, at times he may be beset by a trial or an experience which is provoked - perhaps lessened, but not entirely thwarted by those Protective Powers - and has been assaulted unlawfully by criminals who choose to shatter their prey. Those conditions which give nothing to man, conditions which are moreover destructive and incompatible, are not by heavenly design and are not self-soul-sought, but are from devious, trialsome creatures of havoc and ruin who press a man beyond his limits in self-proclaimed contest, unfair and destructive.

Men who have but weakened their own standing within the regions of choice, will and discipline, who are now easily delighted with the trifles offered by such demons, do unfortunately become servants of their unforgivable treachery. There are traitors to men amongst men and demons at every shoulder of every such traitor. The entire basis of activity spent and directed is towards overcoming the humble man and the dignified spirit within.

Like most misguided plans there is one fault unseen and goes unnoticed: that the innocent soul who is so beset by plague or by trouble, by murder or by impact, is so loved by the Father and so protected by the Host who do spit upon unlawful activity, and save the soul from further hurt. There are callings for intervention, and in Heaven this is so: that no one may take from another, that no one may injure his brother and avoid the wrath that he himself has invoked. 


It is pitiable indeed that there are those who profit by such lessons at another's expense; and yet this is the way, and at the very least there is overall recompense given in the fact that the redemption shall be made. For when we personally come to consider the injuries which we have caused upon those innocent to our former learnings, we do know also something of this regrettable pattern of required cyclic suffering caused and suffering tasted, and redemption somewhere in the process.

The demons are frustrated by that which brings joy to men. They can be quite hateful and without, for when the intention is so devious and so destructful, they are denied those heavenly attributes which they desire the most from man. And you cannot 'wring them out' from a man in any way. No amount of blood-sucking will extract the beauty from a soul and no amount of bone-crushing will grind the formation of a perfect man. It is truly 'back to front'. Rather than getting on with their own evolution they are shackled to that which incorporates, but does not at this time elevate their own status.

Here we could speculate that to a certain extent man abuses the demons. For he shall conquer much affliction that they have worked hard to create, and as a 'sounding board' establish his relationship with the heavens using them as the rear-end contrast to great divinity. It is small wonder that they are doubly irritated, and yet through this they cause more havoc. It is when we lose men to their service that we begin to wonder the price of such ways of learning.

We trust that all injustices are addressed and made good at those times that are best suitable. Some would argue that instead of being racist this approach to entities other than human is so selective it is quite discriminatory: being a 'beingist'! But truly, when one is of humanity and has privy to a glimpse of the vision so held by our Beloved for future patterns set and allowed, one must argue that we cannot be dictated to by lower demoninators/denominators (a good word in this instance), but rather by those who are more highly qualified. We are therefore necessarily discriminatory. Without such discrimination there should be many contrary persuasions who would fashion and design Man as anything but a man; and there are a multitude of creatures and beings one could look to.

We do not seek to hurt another, but we have potent laughter. Men have inherited this, and this has been denied to those who would oppose humanity. And if the opposition is refusing grace and refusing the Word as it is, then woe to them and pity them, and abide them not. We have all been given the simple strength to face evil and deny its presence before us, if men would but know it.

The armies are insecure - they of the dark path have illusion only but no great substance. The war is completely lopsided, with only one resolution preordained. It could not be otherwise. Some might have it that it is, but there was never any contest. For simply put, those of the lower regions cannot reach those of the higher to affect them. They cannot make it. They can upset and irritate the representatives within their own levels. They may prod and poke and prick and stab. They may incantate till eternity slumbers. They may spit and hiss and concoct great fantasies, and occasionally persuade others to believe their fantasy illusions. But they cannot make the climb to view the Face of He who would love them, and they cannot commit others to their backward conditions of murky refuse, and they cannot obliterate the Heavenly powers by their denial. Every time they interfere and cross the boundaries of polite consideration, with willful destruction, they are condemned to a slap and a jab of considerable recompense - not of vengeance but with a vengeance.

They would take from man the knowledge of the true positions. They would hide from Man the truth of Authority, of true authority. They would best hold man captive within their systems of illusion, in ransom for an evolution that they as yet may not come close to. And so it is that they should beguile man into belief of fear and weaknesses that he should forget to call upon his Father and all of the loving friends: those who are kindly and ready to assist, at call or from whimper. For ignorance serves their cunning and temptation serves as incentive. But this is all they have.

Freedom to men may mean many things, but one thing is known: that those who would take freedom from humanity cannot replace it with anything that could be deemed more worthwhile, that they should offer so much when man is equipped with the seeds of all perfection.


Beware of those who presume to be something that they are not.
Beware of those imaginings of pride within yourself that presumes an overbalanced value, which is truly without value.
Beware he who offers a price, and with such a false promise.
Beware of false belief that welcomes such false promises.
Beware of false pride that is so appealed to.
Know of the Divine identity within all men and acknowledge it so,
In the Image of the Divine.
Of God the Father, in God the Holy Spirit, and in the Name of our dear Christ.
For herein is our identity, our strength,
And our inheritance, most Holy and incorruptible
Look not to the Earth but to the stars, when seeking Heaven.

New Power- 27th October 1991

 Spectroscope - particles of latex rubber - essence of substance....


POWER from the smallest of materials - large amounts unnecessary to the extraction.

You should not need a bag of seeds (as thought), to motivate a car - the propulsion can be acquired by way of one single seed. It is therefore the nature of the materials employed which make for the nature of the efficiency: some are less stable than others.
Remembering that the patterns for all are within all, one seed has access to the powers of growth. . . in time. Accelerating time therefore is determining and bypassing the physical substance, purely into etheric force.

Remembering that the laws of electro-technology are not applicable here. The means to effect such radical but simple energies are completely different and the perspective is necessarily different too.

One is required to reliably contain and motivate something which is responsive. That is the problem, not the actual findings of the etheric keys into the etherical motivational powers- crossing back into the physical threshold, so to speak. Here we now come to the sequential fruition of the male/female principles becoming realized, in this instance. 

There are firstly the signature keys of etheric force, and then secondly their partners into which they are safely captivated and then dispersed - to effect radical, physical motivation (propulsion).

One need not think in terms of combustion. It is more of a gauge and control over start/stop. It is not a matter for explosive release. And it is not something without boundaries that necessarily achieves destruction and easily gets out of hand. For physical substance is stubborn and set, and pliable to certain formulae, of which there are many - as many as there are combinations of natural partners.

After the issue and containment and transfusement, there is the third aspect of further use. Again, this must be sensitive to the first two and compatible with both.

Compounds are important. One must know the desired outcome, for specification. Compounds need not be related. 

The circuit is of the 8. The circuit is defined. If it were not structured and so defined, Creation itself would be quite explosive. The key to the unlocking of said key is within the careful observation of the ordinarily natural course. Those substances, those effectual constituents which prevail over time, will also prevail out of time. 

Once this has been effected one shall notice rapid and speedy deterioration. This is because there has been no provision for adequate drainage. No vessel suitable for containment. (Yes it is a little like milking a cow, only in this situation the udder is so unrelieved that the milk cannot flow and would necessarily cause great devastation to the poor beast.) If the seed or substance begins to degenerate, then the experiment is failing and will cease. This is because there is no suitable channel in order for the 'milked' etheric instinct to pass into. The physical frame aborts, and the forces will withdraw.

Remember back to spheres. Remembering also that etheric force does not require an open vessel for containment. This is not the case. The conducting from one to the other needs be harmoniously suitable, and not open. There is no great wire connection, nor is there an enlarged requirement.

Think of that which is the end result ordinarily for the seed. This is what the powers will go to. This is where the attraction lies, in time and out of time. And here is the receiving substance (mother substance? not as in original, but as in matured). This is why the hair of an individual is often used in black design.

This is why we are so impressionable to disease. We carry within us both the beginning and the end.

Whether or not there is provision for containment with cells (as in solar cells) is insignificant, as the flow is as constant and replenishable, providing that there is 'life' with the two mediatory keys. Cell collection is, however, attainable. One need only to look to the bees for this! In honey we have something of an end result which is typical of captivated vitality also; and coupled with those vitalities drawn and generated so by our own constitution, we find greater enhancement, greater flow, during the assimilation. Of course the honey however, is quickly assimilated, in this instance. And we are not suggesting recipes for indefinite life, or superhuman constitutions within this etheric perspective, because once again there needs be the correct vessel so equipped, and correct relay, or there shall be a marked deterioration in this instance. Ill health would ensue, were that an individual was placed past his limit.

Oxygen may be 'spawned' quite naturally - as was done, by the alchemists of old. If there had not been the natural means, without the aids of the electro-technical devices of extraction, then certain findings of the past would not have been achievable. The Atlantean times however, proved that the bypass of the sub-level-stratum techniques were not efficient to the use. However, considering that the physical characteristics of the globe have altered so considerably since that particular period, adjustments do have to be effected: other considerations apply.


Yet this is within our reach of expertise, and has been employed by a certain few, constantly with great success. This is not to say that the methods are archaic and therefore irrelevant - this is but the 'seed' of the future. This is not to say that one finding shall prove to be the answer to the many combinations and results that are possible; for there are many characteristics which are suited to one area, and not to another. But inspiration will come to those who seek to develop in this manner. For understandably, the time is nigh, for greater and subtler alternatives. 

Many secrets have been guarded, and many forces (far higher) have been kept from view. Humanity has veils cast across eyes and memory, and cannot delve into fields prematurely. Introduction to 'new thought' takes time with careful seeding of its own (forgive the sorry pun).

If there is sanity to be found, it is certainly within the influence of the plant kingdom, and those energies sustained there. The fellows are amiable and advanced. They have withstood so many changes, but are personally interested to share of their expertise, as there are threats to their kingdom on Earth. . . and this is their time to be heard - and to answer with alternatives.

It would be an injustice to ignore their perspective. It would be naive to ignore their offers of assistance. This is given up freely, and does in the long run mean changes again and adjustments to be had. For that mix which exists today shall be altered, and their place and relationship with man shall be given yet more importance. But look already to their fields of function, outside of the nourishment provided to man and to atmosphere. The regeneration is a plenty. They have simple needs and have asked for little. But the silent wars of threatening armies - the underground forces, the underground movements - contest our plant kingdom and have sought to prevail in domination. This is an awkward and unlawful contest.


Our plant fellows have given of themselves and have been good friends to humanity. The 'Green Movement' is awakening to the fact, that there is alarm felt in the communities who are truly the 'Friends of the Earth'.

Certain mineral impulses impinge and may become unruly. Certain influx and flow, even perhaps earthly 'vomit' may ensue. There are changes afoot, particularly in regions that already play host to those minerals which attract those influences. Not all minerals are with similar inclination. Some pertain to extraordinary impulses, some to essential qualities. Some are content, and are utilized perfectly, whilst others are loathsome, obstinate or corruptive at present. 

There are etheric globes and there are mineral graveyards. We know of the mineral deposits that sit in great conglomerations. Would that one had the eyes to see which beings attached to the various minerals, apart from each other. And none of themselves, are injurious by nature, or destructive in character. But in relation to man they are what they are, and need careful attendance, require the upper hand. 

Each mineral bears its characteristic quality - you may picture the god of the respective planetary influence from which it may or may not stream from, particularly. Attached to this is a family of beings which are alike in characteristic also. They give to man certain essential elements which assist in creation on levels above and beyond the physical manifestation. But added to this, is the incoherent way in which man himself, in part, may indiscriminately seek to employ their assistance.

Certain lower impulses (that of the dark and confined spaces within the globe) are more content that the upper exterior become similar to their already crowded home. Some beings are less accommodative than others, so their designs for humanity are extraordinary to their own preferences and likings. . . and these tend to negate the 'organic globe' altogether. Which is interesting because the condition of the 'organic globe' preceded their visitation, preceded their taking up lodgings and moving in to stay.

If anything, the job is to assimilate and help transmute, help to bring up higher their condition into something more refined and adept, that their respective lot requires alteration. But the stubborn, non-progressive elements are slower and may often balk at the considerations of future improvement.

Metals were known for consistency, not so much for 'hurried change'. Of course all of this depends greatly on the character and nature of the metal, of which there are so many, and families within any one particular. Not all iron - for example - is the same, even though it may be answerable to similar conditions, it shall respond differently and this may not be gauged exterialy. The iron in man is superbly different to his fellow ore.

Who was it that said, that the problem in arriving at a given answer lay directly in the heart of the question put? Hopefully these small indications shall provide some measure of questioning, hitherto unaccounted for. Nonetheless, it is our belief that this shall be achieved, at the very least in part, in our (your) lifetime.

Cherries- 26th October 1991

CHERRIES are a wonderful fruit indeed! They hang like festive baubles, self-contained with fiery glow. The sweet cherry and the sour resemble assorted punctuation marks, hanging blithely with lush and exquisite statement.

The cherry-pip used to make for many a good game, not the least of which was a form of fortunetelling using scattered and counted falls and forms. Folk would collect and bag these pips for simple games or compiling equations. Cherries were never so commonplace as to supply one with many pip-bags; unless they were collected from the bird-pecked or rotten variety, and these were usually taken to flavour various cordials and wines.

There was once a god called Saffros, who it is said, bore an unspeakable love and fascination for a maiden who was below age for marriage and promised already to another. Upon her tunic was embroidered that of the house of her father and that of her future lover - and Saffros was pained every time he did see that emblem on her bodice.

The maiden saw him not when he gazed upon her countenance, for he was so ethereal, whilst she quite human born. Who knows from what design true love may spring forth? 
“Love and the Maiden,” by John Roddam Spencer Stanhope (1829–1908), tempera, gold paint, gold leaf on canvas.

There was nothing else to do but create a fruit for his beloved, one which would speak of their union and prolificacy. This would be his gift to she that was betrothed to another. The plan was full of cunning, for he knew that should she taste but one of the fruits of his making she would instantly come to see him and know him and thereby come over to his love. And trees did spring up all around the place with dainty orbs of delicate hue, as fairy oranges dangling in great multitude.

It did come to pass that in childlike delight the new fruit was plucked and chosen by this unsuspecting girl. As her lips embraced the fruit they paled as the very blood drained from them, and she fell to the earth quite dead; whilst the cherish-fruit was overcome with the color of her dark blood, stained by this untimely death - having taken her life from her.

For Saffros had tried the impossible - he held her corpse with his invisible and impotent grasp, regretful of his crime of passion. For her soul had flitted off, far, far from reach, never taking notice of he who had awaited her.

As penance, in sorrow, he did commend himself to the core of every pip, that he might be held and embraced by the blood in the flesh of the fruit of his loved one. And there he remained, as does all unanswered love deposit, in this the cherry.

And every time a bird does peck, Saffros awakens to his regret. And for lovers who may take of the fruit together, Saffros is relieved, as he lives his love through others. . . and contemplates what might have been.

Partners in Individuality- 22nd October 1991

LONG John Silver was more renowned for his parrot, than for his only having one leg. One could say that the most memorable attribute this character had, was one which really was not him at all . . . but rather at his side. Often we look to accessories about a man which may help to characterize his personality so. However, one man as distinct from any other, can be almost indistinguishable at first glance - unless there is something extraordinary being then particularly memorable.

So it happens that when we come to remember a fellow, in order to bring him to mind we do so by recalling his peculiarities - even if these are unkind or untrue to his actual representation of qualities which warrant real remembrance. The physical features dominate in this recall, and first spring to mind any unfortunate 'oddities' which prevail.

One might question this ever so slight analysis of recall, however it is important in our value judgments daily, to be aware of our 'quirks' and our shortcomings. For whether or not a man presents himself as being 'weighty', long nosed, balding or disheveled, has little reality on that true memory impression we have on a soul-to-soul level.

We do have memory recall on far higher levels than those which the tricks of the intellect may produce. We are impressed instantaneously and enduringly at first contact and thereafter - even though we may consciously be unable to signify such meetings. Our dealings with others are never haphazard; one soul to another, whether in casual passing or in interludes which span the years, share great moments of greeting with lasting impressions. This is no less significant when the encounters are brief and simple. Contact is contact, and does open the doorway for future concerns, future connections and future interactions.

We may meet with someone in the street, we may pass them by with a solitary glance or perhaps the vehicles in which we travel might collide - whatever the case, these meetings have their special place in time and are recorded accordingly. Wherever there is a mix from one to two, there is a recording we keep of that particular mix. The equation of that which is ourselves coupled with that which is another (in whatever form presented), is established and so characteristically impressed for soul-recall at next meeting.

Were we to rely on transient memories solely, we should forfeit such upon death or give over to pictures and imaginings, interpretations and summations, which are characteristic of that moment and time. However in these special relationships so established, we carry keys to future meetings, even though conditions within and without have seemingly altered beyond instant recognition. For there is necessity that we should carry within us the ability to truly recognize a fellow friend.

Exactly how this is effected is an extraordinary thing indeed! If one can imagine that from lifetime to lifetime and during certain periods in between, we vary so much in ways in which we may present ourselves, and in relationships that we enjoy. Whilst all the time many souls are reunited, and many a relationship of great significance can be traced to earlier encounters in far differing circumstances. However the personal signature of that individual coupled with the signature of our self, becomes as one unique signature in this our recording. Wherever the opportunities present and the two are in similar vicinity (near orbit) to one another, this key recording shall cause gravitation where the opportunity to meet once again and reunite is again established.

This factor takes the 'impersonality' out from an otherwise impersonal structure. Without this condition, without this soul-recognition, we should surely skip the Cosmos completely unattached as it were, and without much hope at all of continuing encounters.

Whilst there is also the facsimile of certain karma between individuals, the karmic relationship is worked on in a different manner to the above described. For although there is much great achievement in the settling and re-sorting of this and that which may need attention between two or more, these instances worked through may well be tainted with impressions more of the moment, as they pertain to dealings of a particular moment. But the signature soul-relationship endures far past obligatory meetings and interactions, and is with us long after the memory of such enhanced 'corrections' have passed.

Therefore there may be great satisfaction in our assisting a fellow who we owe gratitude to, and content with such fulfillment, are not impressed with the need to indefinitely take up with them. However that special relationship will draw us together in many future encounters, without necessity from either party to actively assert particularly anything- maybe just to 'catch up' as it were. Similarly I may briefly meet a man, whereas there has been little or no karmic impression in that slight encounter - and yet in one simple meeting, I shall have an impression which shall be recorded there to stay forever on. I shall recognize soul-to-soul, that individual at yet another passing.


Often a man may experience what is termed a déjà vu. This need not be (as is often mistaken) something of the present being re-enacted as though we had been there before. It is usually the case that we are shocked into a certain defined, clarity-filled awareness of what we are doing. The eeriness of this awareness is that hitherto we were not so aware. Usually this is sparked by such an encounter with another 'ringing bells' so to speak, in which we are awake to the recognition of some other fellow whom we have made contact once again with. This contact may have been so brief as it has passed unnoticeably and our attention has been taken up elsewhere - nonetheless we are impressed with that reuniting.

Of course this does not mean to say that we have experience of that déjà vu every time we make contact again with those of the past, for this occurs so often in the course of a day, that we should be caught up by this experience continually. However, there can be special meetings and certain circumstances which inspire this spark of recall. Even before that meeting on the day, we may be alerted to its happening.


One might wonder what distinguishes one soul from another, and added to that there is a complexity which provides for the soul to become more enhanced and more fulfilled and altered accordingly. One might say that when one is alone there is little differentiation, but where one meets with another there is comparison for both.

For example: if I never use my foot upon the ground, my foot has less significance, even to me. When the foot makes impact upon the ground there is a relationship of foot to ground. The foot has become noticeably significant, the ground too. One against another brings consciousness and provision for activity.

We are what we are in the likeness and through the impact of others. This is no less true for our likeness being that of the Father's. For we should be nothing without Him, through which our relationship becomes notable. We must be dual in relationship with Him, for us to be us. There must always be a relationship, there must always be two for one to know another and thereby know oneself.

How am I to recognize a world, even if I have all of my faculties, if there is no world to recognize? How am I to hold an identity, even if I have one, if I am not with another? For life is a series of conflicts and harmonies. We may either become that which impinges upon us and absorb it accordingly, or we repel. We are in identity through our relationships to each differing and unique individuality - this is what makes it so.


Ultimately we may measure ourselves in relation to the Father and in relation to the great individuals, and come to know ourselves intimately through this special mix of duality. One becomes two because one cannot be one without another.

The soul is as a mirror, and all brothers as our teachers. All encounters are of supreme significance....and many a road, with many an 'old friend'.
