Questions on 'Lazarus'- 14th November 1993



Question: We have gone to the Bible and followed through with your clues, have we been correct?

As it was told.



Do you have any further comments?

"Lazarus" was not his actual name. He was unnamed also.

Question: J.W. has suggested that there was a dual authorship of the Gospel of St. John - is this true?

Yes and no.
The formulation of the Holy Scripture was not accidental. There was no part which was mistaken, nor part which was not in correlation with many.

The specific ascribing, the 'penning' and subsequent responsibility was of John's.

'Lazarus' needed to be free to wander amongst men, as he is wont to do, and was allowed distinction from the work to enable him to 'cover' from a differing direction.

Bruce was correct - the Master Christian Rosenkreutz was called forth and awakened to perfection. In his final death, as recorded, (viz. Lazarus) he did find the way for others also - a new route to go, so to say - for there are many of these also.

Initiation of its own was not markedly unique to the world; consciousness was half there, anyway. One cannot fully comprehend the implication during the death-sleep - what was entailed, who was met with and what precisely was brought back.

Our beloved Master C.R. was the successful candidate, and in the fusion of events, there was martyrdom resigned. For the two noble souls (St. J. & C.R.) did not grapple with a divine destiny, they complied, and became leaders at the front - orienteers.

Such men do not cease to be human. There are glamorous misconceptions which pronounce a Master to be so divine he is as separate to you or I; or so far removed that he is above the comprehension of the daily contests. However this is not the case, they have not the angelic withdrawal, and are sensitive to the individual stirrings and affectations of any man.


Secrecy is a great protector. It has been in the past, that the respect as issued is warranted, and details of movements and even heritage are uncalled-for. Just as the royal family goes about with consorts to guard, it is the veiling attendants which move about the Masters, shielding them from undue arrest. Even we have regarded much of their business to be their business.

Of course there is much that may be and should be shared also. One cannot, as difficult as it is however, come from the approach of trying to make all things fit, for it is an approach which dictates obscure outcomes. There are parallel roads, which, when thoroughly investigated are 'in line' with others - and there is a difference in this. These parallel roads are designed to meet at intermittent conjunction, but not all the time do they blend so, for they would not then be separately useful.

Johfra Bosschart
It is as this also: The work of one Master is uniquely different in his approach and conduct to that of another - and this is of necessity we might add. But the two specific tasks are dependent upon the success of the other, and are in no way confused by the extreme distinctions.

Question: Margaret has asked about the term 'deva incarnation', and what that might mean?

"A one to whom the devas find dear" - for their involvements were such that they are sought after, having returned to try another life; and the friendships established are renewed, in a manner of speaking. For the deva knows not of the time having passed and is eager to reacquaint with their beloved friend.

Certain periods historically, have allowed the men therein to cross the threshold through to the etheric plains and partake in the communities which reside there. These men or women (or children) were innocent in nature, not barbaric or violent, uncouth or demon-bound, but enjoyed a clarity of perception into the fine light of the adjoining world. The relationships were never bestial; they were cordially loving - one being flesh, one being fairy.

What part of ye be ye?- 11th November 1993

WATER is Light insofar as it becomes because of the other, and is as a dual aspect of the ether. People often reckon with the physical world in a way that decides its sameness, forgetting however, that all matter does not manifest on the same level in relation to its own, or to ether.

An apparent physical reality has come into being from a particular beginning, and there are many differing beginnings, in time and in former place, whereby we may make keen and exact differentiation. Secondly that aspect of itself which is incorporated within the physical realm may be, relatively speaking, to a higher degree or a lower degree of itself. This too, differs extraordinarily.

Then also, there becomes the transformative process, whereby that 'thing' has become altered, enhanced, imbued or made different, because of some lasting influence as catalyst to change.

So one may picture, if you will, an intersection with many roads leading in, the courses of which are all traveled, and many who stand at the center - this is representational of the diversity as is the physical modality. Every being, every creature, every vessel of life, we may inquire upon: "From where have you come?" and then: "How came you to be here?" and further: "And what part of ye, be ye?"


Even a man, a very normal looking man, may be deceptively presented. One may well inquire "What part of ye be ye?", because moment to moment, the aspects of this man apparent, may prefer to be realized in part or not at all- there are so many which comprises this soul. Who can predict what shall be forthcoming?

There shall always be common ground that one may set themselves upon intuitively in relation to another. Likewise, proportionately a man may have developed and surpassed his brother in ways which alter their common regard, evoking either respect or hostility in one, charity or contempt in the other. How often one hears the phrase "We're coming from the same direction", when in truth the two most clearly have in reality just come from the same place. This kinship of experience leads men to further openings of mutually shared insight.

Where men were physically placed in one lifetime will transform itself in importance to become a meeting in their emotional or ideological spheres, and the gathering will be collectively based there. The vitality of shared and common interests will succeed and expand with high levels of importance and work its way through respectively. One can see from this that there are foundations for working relationships everywhere.

Simply by 'being' one is drawn and compelled to meet with the components of our life most fully, in time. Of course we are not compelled to ceaseless involvement, rather we are offered opportunities in which we return to those folk or those places and come to know them differently. For one must know reasonably, that and those we have experienced and enveloped within our own selves. It is as to know ourselves more fully; would that we enrich our understanding of the infinitely complex individual to which we seek to incorporate in part.

"We go way back. . ." is another phrase which indicates the comfort of kinship throughout the passages of time. By such acquaintance we are made certain of constancy and continuity - the friendly face we recognize is the most beautiful in the crowd of thousands! None can compare, none count as much, as they who we know. In time the face of Humanity as a whole will present itself as by the Face of Christ.

If we are to strive in willingness to bind ourselves with all of our brothers, then in essence (the essential striving and willingness) we have done as much. The actual linkages go back and have pre-existed any severance that came later. We may renew our composite endorsement in bulk, so to speak, without the need to shake hands with every individual in and without embodiment.

Further than that there are indeed special relationships whereupon a man is soothed or strengthened by the complementary aspects of another. One should not confuse dependency with gratitude, nor equate duality and the combining therein as in anyway a forfeit of oneself. That is the point here: when men enhance each other they fulfill each other, even in sacrifice and labor. The two are simultaneously brought forward and elevated. That is why each must give freely, otherwise if there is an inequality of freedoms there shall be conflict with further aggravation.

Although we acquire much knowledge from the eventual resolving of conflicts, it is as energy spent- getting that far only. Quarrels to some are inevitable. At times men may be viewed with thunderous countenances and all the activity around them of an electrical convolute, all arguments being predecided before the manifestation of conflict. The battle is worked upon and stimulated by one or both before the meeting. Arguments are subsequent, not consequent. If one discovers that they have happened into such target practice, it is prudent to leave as is possible, for the designs of argument require partnership, and mere presence may stimulate further.



Every part of the physical body represents a characteristic aspect of the being within. Every part of that part contains a physical representation of the world at large, in miniature.

Every aspect of a man - and there are too many to list - is a manifested attribute of the 'the body' of his higher man. And every part of each attribute is a miniature of the Cosmos at large. 

Every aspect of a man that has become developed, perfected and realized, is then 'bodily' incorporated also in Christ and of Christ. And every part of that aspect, now qualified, is also attributed to those who were complementary in the attaining thereof. They are shared with co-achievers, who through the mutual ecologies in spirit, advanced thus.

"What part of thee, ye be?"
"I be, that part of ye, ye see."
"Do you agree?"
"Most verily!"
"That we be, that we be!"

Buteyko Breathing Reconsidered- 6th 1993 November

Question:

Why did you not tell us that shallow breathing was preferable? [As it is with the Buteyko method.]



BECAUSE it is not - at least, not to be prescribed to everyone. That is why. The equation is:
  • The metabolic rate determines volume = lesser capacity in lung - inhale - expanded lung - exhale, BUT the ratio of inhale to exhale is consistent, and the time of metabolic consideration is the same.
The hurried man can definitely monitor his balance according to the conscious reformation - in addition to this the atmosphere is altered. However shallow breath is not necessarily the prescribed way for all to breathe. It is a question of time in relation to capacity: a slow breath in and a slow breath out i.e. a metabolic rate which complements the transfusion of breath-digestion. 


The point missed is that: breath in - 1,2,3, breath out - 1,2,3 (over 3 seconds). Breath in - 1,2,3,4,5, and breath out - 1,2,3,4,5, (over 5 seconds). The asthmatic has breath in 1,2,3,4,5, breath out 1,2,3,4,5, over 3 seconds, for example.

It relates specifically to speed and metabolic rate rather than volume - but the volume reduction can and will 'even' the assimilative timing. As agreed, all of the lung is penetrated and used.

The Three Gifts of St. Paul- 4th November 1993




THE three gifts of St. Paul were: sweet rest, deep and perfect sleep, and death - as restitution to the diseases which provoked undeniable and unrevokable corruption to the physical and mentally-empathetic spiritual constitution.

There are streams whereupon Man is influenced to counterbalance the trials and woes encountered. As the 'bad fairy' cursed, an equal dictum surmounted the action of the evil and delivered Man by such concessions; albeit not exactly by way of the powers of a 'good fairy' alone, but rather by many good fairies, good Angels, good Men, and a Good God besides.

There are discoveries made as to what these equations have been and are, today. The protectors of these mysteries incorporated, have sought them out and made them known to themselves, thoroughly exploring for the record and safekeeping of Man; as one would add to the journal of progress.


As like any scientific finding, it is not unusual that the names are linked, because as overshadowing protectorates they have become to be associated with that stream until such a time, that it itself is no more. For even should they depart the world and the reaches thereof, their original etherisation and mingling through investigation, remains.

Important Law: For every ill wind there brings with it a blessing to follow. This is how "out of evil cometh good", for it is truly so. The provisions for such counterbalance were commanded out from necessity. For one may ponder unto themselves, if there be one gravely evil curse by which no good may equal and bring up the value of, then it should bring about an unraveling of else that is good by its very challenge. Still to this day there becomes a shift and an immediate need for an answer: that the deck falls and one card goes down, and the next hand played need better it.

The principle as tossed around of 'neither nor completely bad' conforms to this. Also whilst on this point, it is important to add that the viewpoint of the cynic is dangerous indeed. If we may not qualify an evil perceived but are intent in thought upon only its upset, then we err on the side of the very perpetuation thereof. Though this appears a mean criticism, it is nonetheless true. 


Another interesting insight is this: many who have committed themselves into the penetrating studies as was first described, have fallen short of the perfected examination because they themselves have 'come under' the ill and the evil of the first part of their particular investigation. It is a dangerous element that they have chosen to make bare and make known. It is a courageous task which may know no fulfilment if the novice becomes incapable of following through with the greater induction of Grace. Of course, eventually he is saved by the very answer so put there, but whether or not he survives intact to return to the world forged anew, is another matter. It is no defeat in real terms, only in terms of the object of striving at that time.

One can begin to see avenues of important instruction already from this lesson: -
  1. That 'open-thinking' which attempts to reveal deeper implications is prerequisite to understanding and aligning oneself with the more advanced souls. Ipso facto: closed-thinking (the one point of view perspective) may not enable intuitive progress as to the necessary illumination to follow.
  2. That all negative insight requires the accompanying thought and prayer of gratitude that: evil does pass; it may not remain the same, its sting and its injure will dissolve in the provision of the accompanying Grace so bound to it. Which not only shall bring restitution to the assaultee, but further on, shall redeem that very evil and purify it with a new objective/relationship to Man.

This is the one thing that the 'dark path' cannot realize. One could too easily say that we may dismiss such men who revel in unnatural desires as that they willingly see only one half of the above truth; and this is open to question and is philosophical. But from this viewpoint we would suggest that they are in fact incapable of crossover and much discouraged by the predator food-chain they perceive to be the world.

Almost as one evil stacked upon another, and keenly experienced, the men who are under the spell of great evil have not awakened to the mercy which verily sustains them. It is therefore, a pitiful inadequacy, and one may see that with such fellows, charity, good wishes and prayers on their behalf, are the supplement required, rather than blatant condemnation. 


It is truly a divine mystery that overall, Christ Himself is Chief Protector of the Keys, and by Him, through His Eyes, one may challenge the individual streams incoming, and under His Governance be saved.

St. Paul, through Christ, came to the blessed meaning of death, which hitherto was the scourge and the final defeat. The Devil himself did laugh and parade when a man caught in sickness of soul, then of mind and finally in blood, was believed to be overcome hopelessly. But the illness manifest did not vanquish the soul within. If not surmounted there was afforded a 'disassociation' out from the combining forces and a man could, through sleep and eventually death, begin a renewal that was not hitherto possible.

He could discard and dismember; and fortune of fortunes, perceive the minor ill and begin to correct the fault within. Hell itself was transformed, no longer an eternal sufferance - which prior to Christ there were elements thereof: because of the connection, the combining, in which a man was inextricably linked to his faults, his damnation, to his sins and to that part of Hell he had frequented and connected with.

When taken alone the burdens and trials of the World are inclined specifically. There is a current which runs alongside the evil, specifically, and is what it is.

Regarding the gathering which was called into question (viz. The Conference of Indigenous Peoples) - stern and troubled individuals. Many may be crushed by the perceptions themselves, before the physical evil so feared, eventuates. The remedy for the oldest of races is Christ, for He has the wherewithal to 'carry them over' the evil to the happier side.

Does this sound like a trite dismissal? We may apportion blame on many, many levels. We may target a multitude of supplements also. We may in part, be correct in our thinking and our intuitive reform. However it can and does take an entire individual an entire lifetime, and subsequent collections of centuries to follow, in order to investigate (at peril) one, just one, particular. Therefore, if we who are only semi-qualified in this respect (in specifics) attempt to go in and find the remedies to evil, we may do so, only safely, with Christ at our side. For it is no longer viable to interpret the exterial symbols and rely on their wisdom alone. Invisible hands guide obligingly and indicate what we already search for.

The gathering of learned men provides a spiritual sanctuary in time, whereby the signature wisdoms may combine and afford a tolerance, which is of itself the key to their solution! They carry the burden with them - the blessing and the burden of the insufferable identity of race and of ancient ways; which conflict upon each other.

There is very little 'sameness' if one has the observation to interpret. For as many reasons as time might provide, there is no 'commonness' save in the living ideals of men today. For that they mix ideas, necessarily requires that they have departed from their own sufficiently to do this- their surrender of the ancestor's grip and their soulful wisdoms - this, for the sake of greater wisdoms. The spiritually perceptive will share common experience and insight and agreement to a point.

The motives are noble and desperate, and there is much excitement and disclaiming; whilst also, unfruitful condemnation. Men are not the enemy as such. At worst they are the stumbling servants thereof.

Mother Nature is strong, she breathes well, and the contestants to her form are dismissed. It is the spiritual pollutant of the laggard evolution which provokes the tensions which bring natural cataclysms; and divisiveness carries on, with many faces. (Yes, that is one of those sentences.)
