AT the uppermost altitudes of Spirit, in that place of pure Holies, the seat of God, there is but One, (that we know of) that may journey to and from and meet with His Father with full self-consciousness; an awareness which is equal (in part) that they may be of one mind together at such interludes.
This is the all-presuming of the Christians who enter into the highest mysteries of which there is no way possible that anyone could substantiate. . . or argue. This is the first tenet for which we suppose all else; and by the power of Christ we are afforded the audacious means to partake in His realities (as He with us), that we may realize their somber importance without personally needing to qualify or examine piece by piece.
God became in Man and Man becomes in God. There would be no other way for us to reach up to the summit and extend our beings back to our cradles of beginning. Christ has made it so, that we: the fellow children of the Father, all share in His higher Worlds; that we are not downcast and divorced from the very greatest, the most splendid, the more brilliantly radiant, the noblest Divine Realities.
Whilst the progressive evolution is statutory to Cosmic affairs - the onward upward push for all - it is rare and unusual for individual beings to be given the dual aspects of self reflection coupled with higher empathies/higher awareness. Most beings are confined respectively to their station, having been allotted qualities that soon became them, for which they lived by and were consequently related to indefinitely. Then there came Man. There was a provision for everything: that he would be enabled to become more, and that he would have such key elements that would correspond with the range of beings already in existence. Here we have a 'sweet babe' to all, thereby - the angels know their counterpart selves in him, likewise the demons also… likewise, our Christ.
And Man is yet to know himself.
Solitude is a remarkable commodity. Solitude is a great illusion, but nonetheless a real one. How is it that there are those aspects few may share, which isolate a man in his times of grief or great joy, in his thoughtfulness and true expression in which he feels set apart and alone? In solitude we withdraw to commune with our souls and with God; we retract, we contract, we consolidate and examine. Solitude is associated badly because it is mostly the unfavorable times within a man's life which may prompt him to go inward in this fashion, when in reality it is this capacity to do so, from which he shall recover from his unhappinesses and find the renewal he desperately seeks.
However, the aspect of solitude: i.e. the ability for an individual to experience his individuality and ignore the transpirations of an ever-full and buzzing Cosmos - allows for him the private attention from Father God, and if addressed, from Christ, his first-born Son, also. As we say, that we are given to know Solitude within the busy sea of life is remarkable. Not all beings may achieve this and certainly those who are incapable of self-reflection are too dispersed amongst ongoing experience to be enabled to pause from their doings, and return into themselves and travel forth in prayer or conference. That we may retract into solitude enstrengthens our aspects of empathizing also. For empathy at its best is directed and chosen rather than suffered or maintained.

Let us explain: There are many beings that do resonate and empathize with those of their kind, or perhaps with those, which for whatever reason do hold influence upon them. In point of fact, the rain which hurls and gushes from the sky may splash you unwittingly, and there shall be an empathy between you and that rain, in that experience. Just so, there are beings who suffer the outfall from others. They suffer because they have not the ability to will otherwise or the choice in the matter, and are subject to their environment, subject to the influences, without respite.
To a degree a man may feel that this is so with the ceaseless quirks and quarks of bombardment. However, there is his solitude which will save him, and there is also his ability to go where he will, in directing his self-conscious subjugation, sympathies and finally his enjoyable empathies from which he shall come to greater being thereby. This verily, is the gift from the Gods: to willingly arrive at such understandings, provoked initially by curiosity or (when advanced) by love, to find empathy at a choosing and enter into a relationship whereby the two individuals share qualities in that experience.
We have now come to yet another attribute for which we as men are privileged- that we do not have to be like so to come to the experience of it. Yes, we shall have the fabrication of all things from which to know by, but by the same token we need not be actively expressive in any manner to actually understand it by another.
Further to this is the quality of shared attributes/strengths, in a most positive and creative way: the ennobling of men by the mutual upliftment. This is provided for only because of Christ's empathy with us, meager though we be by comparison; that He seeks to know us, that we may know Him, for it is that the heart and mind are to be revealed and made known before true coexistence may be maintained.

Explanation: hitherto we have been confined by law. Law regulates the motions of all movement. Law enables coexistence. Law provides the necessary licenses within a presumed and apportioned plan. Christ sought to change that. He did not adopt a lawless approach, but what He did maintain and uphold was, that were the mutual heart and mind and position of one unto another to be known and understood, then there would be a perfect dance so to speak, proper consideration: a constellation which spun around each partner anticipating their drives, dodging and ducking at will, balancing their relationship unto another by the conception of what they are in relation to each other. In other words, a self-realised and self-motivated system which is at the same time supremely conscious of their fellow beings.
'Immediate' karma was in place for those who were to be restrained within the Law, that they should be 'bounced back' as far as they extended, that they need not self-consciously empathize, but rather were given, repeatedly, the experience of their own expression's endeavor. There are limited perimeters within this phase of being, for the karma in this sense holds everyone most tightly. The soul-review after death as given to men, was complementary to this and enfolded a man in the true meaning of his actions and activities. For the bearing of one's karma is compelling, but also can be consuming to the point of further distraction, whereas the experience after death in review enables a man in solitude to draw to himself those understandings which shall increase his ability of empathy at a later date, forever on.
Because of this benefactor to action, we are rewarded with a slack, a lapse of karmic intervention, which is not-so-immediate or impending. Although we are equally accountable for all that we create, we are endowed with the gift of redemption, redemption whereby we are given the opportunity to redeem ourselves, and are thus saved by that. By this we are advantaged a little higher every time; karma is not merely a corrective law, but has become by Christ unobtrusive to our greatness. This is an important point, because the grace of a protracted interlude - between action and karmic response - affords a man the time to strengthen in the in-between. He is savored with the after-death review, he is judged by himself and knows what it is that he seeks to refine; and he is held back until such time as he is capable, from those worldly dramas which he must address.
The criminal who commits murder without remorse is better to confront the loss of a loved one, (either another or himself) at such a time when he has arrived at refinement. If a man has no respect for life, then one more murder shall only indulge his gross defiances. He shall not know the weight, the true weight of his callous contrivances. Although this is simply put, and sadly so, he shall markedly recall that happening which a delayed karma shall bring to his doorstep one day, when he is actually above the committal of that crime.

Many 'good' people suffer drastic happenings, of which it is asked, "Why?" Though it does appear to be a terrible shame that karma still rises to meet one, even after they have long relinquished the call for it, it is often that it does so, way past the time of the first consequence. Furthermore, these good men will be sorting through the slag that has remained with them, and breaking free at a rapid rate, that they will be rewarded and jubilant when all is said and done. It is not a pleasant subject, for it is that men are innocent of their actions within the world - that being the very reason for the karma which we are subject to.
However and in summation, the Will of Christ is an imponderable. Just as we may not truly see the light but what the light illumines for us, we may only find the ways of His Will, rather than penetrate its substance. Christ's Will fashions the new Laws of Being; it has been His exclamation which has defied the 'old' ways throughout. Yet He would not defy His Father. So we may view the greater Creation as an abstraction for which our Father is not over-pleased at this time, in that changes were deemed favorable.
The Will of God is that first impulse which is Life. The Will of our Christ defends that Life and stands before Death (Death which mocks God) and balances its element of Defeat with Renewal.
(We shall leave you with that thought, hoping that it will not be overlooked. It is worthy of much attention, as there is such a strong fundamental reality which streams from it, that it is vital to your question.)
AND. . . . to the purpose then, of our dear students: If it is not to be with all men, you ask, then is it not exclusive. And wherewith our merit?
Firstly, it is for all men as we do lay the way at the forefront of Humanity's expedition. Secondly, there are many men who have been exposed to esoteric teachings who are awakened to the inner concepts, but are without reliable guidance, and in peril of such errors as do waste away their beings.
There are movements in spiritually based centers - so-named - that we ponder the reasoning which enwraps and entraps their kind in half-truth (deny Christ's existence). Then there are those who do name Him and then proceed to abandon His expirations and promulgate the lusts of Baal (in one form or another); and by this we mean that there are men of high office who have set themselves a career in such pride that would rather have men kept exactly where they are, whilst they are advanced by this.
The differences are distinct and obvious: there are those of us who offer and give and are empathetic to the needs of our brothers, whilst there are those sorry souls who are self-bound and spiritually grazed, who say they know the true Christ but do follow but an impostor.
Each one of you has already experienced the gravity of this our work. We have never encouraged false pride in our students, for the reason that it encumbers the striving soul and leads to remorse. However, let there be moments to be proud on behalf of our body of individuals who have resolutely pledged unto themselves that they shall stand beside Christ and love all He loves, and be ever ready to transport His illuminations when and wherever they may.
One must not underestimate their own personal offerings. You may think of your tasks ahead in the context of homeopathic magic, that your work in the World is that one part substance to the one hundred thousand parts removed: those with empty ego who are persuaded in time by the truth, because it is the truth - and through your work it shall find its way to them.
This lifetime is not your first effort working directly with us, nor shall it find completion in a handful of decades. Most of you have still to uncover the remains of what you did come to before; and when this is achieved (be confident) then you shall feel more enabled to 'be your own person' as they say, and contentedness will preside overall.
It is our hope that our students may continue on. We have never sought to alarm, to pontificate those disasters which threaten Men (and by this we mean at the core - like the worm in the heart) and yet we shall be remiss if we discount the fact that this is no playful game where one is resigned to lose and the other to win, for we may all lose by consequence. There is no thing that Christ cannot allow for. There is no demon that threatens Mankind by might, that Christ may not dismiss. The principalities are overweighted and burgeoned with concordances of wisdom, which alike to a thundercloud have amassed overdue and seek release.
The purpose of your work dear friends and fellows, is outlined by need. The numbers of those who may do as you do are too few to do without you! That may be acknowledged.
In the arena of competing thoughts projected, there are those which are marked by their initiators, marked with a bias that errs to one degree each side of the truth.
Christianity is esoteric. There really is no such palaver as exoteric Christianity.
So you ask for a discernment here. Yes, the mysteries are still fresh - exceedingly new, as far as time in this World - and the minds of most are as rigid as they have ever been, being taken up into acquiring a consciousness. Then there are those individuals that you shall be brought into contact with - who will find you - that are inwardly quite desperate for a latch-hold.
Men can be affected for all time just by a wondrous insight. It is refreshing for their soul to be given a contest from one of our students. All men relish important thought and meaningful communication.
Most of all we offer the living Christ as He is in the World today, and is in each man. This we can pass on as the first important inner reality, thereby cutting the paths and preparing the way ahead for our brothers to follow.
WE do not attempt to bring before you those things which are found in spiritual realities in which there is not same or similar within your current recollection. However elements and even objects, translate as are, as do all of the inner virtues and attributes which make up a man.
There has been some confusion as to the relevance of maintaining esoteric thought and instruction. The pupils drift from one base onto another and are uncertain about the marked divisions between the two forms of consciousness - i.e. the immediate worldly comprehension and the soul-consciousness of inner purport.
Firstly it should be said that every man experiences his soul-consciousness to some degree or other, for without his own inner conferences he would soon become sickly and physically die; as the frame is dependent upon the intimations of the whole being of a man and dissipates very quickly into chaos if unmaintained.
Now whether or not the man is awake and aware to his soul activity is another matter, for our beings cooperate on many levels concurrently, advancing and assimilating as if we were many men, if split into reference. It can also be said that there maybe little outward indication about a man, of his most valuable developments. These need not dominate his other aspects of being and actually may be inactive for long periods, during which time he has set to work on aspects of his personality/being which needs refinement.
We call experience to ourselves in order that we might be so fulfilled thereby - and enhanced we are, by every failing as well as accomplishment. So it is essential to reserve opinion of any man, because it is for this reason alone: the reason that he is quite likely to be presenting as a pauper, though has a kingly soul within. Conversely, he may be as wretched as he presents at that time, in which case there is so much more the pity and patience required.
There comes a time when the man has completed a score of necessary findings within his worldly phase and begins to turn back, that he may review his findings with an enhanced perception and critical understanding. The student of spiritual studies, once come to this point (as come he has) will find that he shall be no more satisfied to be insteeped in worldliness alone. He will not be inclined to revert back to humble happinesses as were dumbly maintained throughout preceding incarnations. For once a period has been completed it is impossible to 'go around the same way twice', save that he shall go the same way by a different route, this time by combining an enhanced spiritual consciousness.
Many folk ask about the importance of this work during their incarnating within this sphere, for they question the importance, saying "Why can't we learn of the spiritual worlds when we are there and of this world while we are here - keeping each unto his own?"
We actually come into this Earthly sphere that we may:-
- Bring gifts back into the spiritual realms attached and beyond.
- Establish a future world of residence.
To be here in this World is akin to having a magnifying glass, whereupon the light - being in this case that which enters our consciousness - may pass through the glass and concentrate down to the finest and brightest of points; and by this we are brought to intense experience, so that every such concentrated illumination actually returns to the soul and remains forever.
Therefore one can see that the time spent during an incarnation is extremely valuable to the individual who has not the same opportunities elsewhere in Cosmic fields, to actually develop such abilities and gather experience permanently. Furthermore, the esoteric student is developing an awareness which will be maintained after death. In his efforts to 'cross over' into higher knowledge he becomes astute enough to cross back when etherealized.
Although the student's attempts may seem clumsy and awkward, although they themselves may doubt their accuracy of evaluation, they shall find that every wonderful experience which is inwardly impressed with higher thought, shall bring enhanced visions when in that heavenly condition after death. For they are given the complete panorama of what it was that they knew but couldn't discern or describe. The wonderment will be revealed and realized.
Of those individuals who were personally known to you who did study this road with joyous faith and spiritual concern, know that they are now rewarded well. Their insights whilst within the World have given them the windows to glorious vision, through to the true realities, and they are equipped with a conscious appreciation of what it is and where they are.
To the student who is here and wrestling the realities, there is a measure of inner pain, a pain that accompanies the sweetness of finding. Inspirations do subside and this does, at times, dishearten the student. Also there becomes an internal pressure which begs to be heeded, for no longer can the man be fully comfortable solely in the material world, and there shall always be that part of him that desires the spiritual realities- that same part which prompts his inquiries and also is fulfilled after death.
The path of the student, even at the best of times, is predominantly melancholy. Men awaken to great truths and in their presence are greatly humbled. There are new beauties, but also fresh dilemmas. The path to higher knowledge and development is founded upon dissatisfaction - it has to be - therefore, inclined to melancholy. But we are compensated greatly, and the student knows this too, in time.
One other point - we began today by acknowledging that a certain range of worldly development had to be criteria for proceeding on to this path of endeavor. For this reason we may not hurry any man to awaken prematurely - it would be injurious to them (and to one's own karma) to attempt to do this.
Much can be given to a man soulfully, by our prayers, by our example, through our progressive emanations and by offspring of creativity - but there is no jurisdiction which allows a forced enlightenment. For the man or woman could not conceivably maintain their active consciousness throughout, and so in effect it would be meaningless. Putting it bluntly, there shall be many truths that you cannot share with all men at this time, and although we are all impelled to do so we cannot.

Furthermore, we have no license to expect that men who have little or no esoteric understandings shall be persuaded by our own, for it is wholesome that they progressively make their way to such realizations in their own time as is best suited and known by them. Foremostly, we must trust that the soul of an individual knows what it needs, that the level of experience of a man may be confined as may appear mundane to those who have surpassed these conditions. However, they are exactly what is needed by that man at that time.
To some extent one could say that the path to higher knowledge will introduce greater difficulties, albeit with greater advances also. So we are cautioned as to what it is that we desire for our fellow brothers.
At any stage, at any level, morality can and must be addressed. All men are capable of discerning truth from their hearts, and it is this that they should be encouraged to do in every way possible. Through our caring, conversation and creativity, their hearts may be stimulated. Also it shall be by this direct knowledge from within, from our hearts, that will one day be the only true guide to the then adept- particularly when he teeters at those canyons of quandary, locked in the illusory domains where he will need to know his heart well that he might find his way back home.
THE living record of Christ - as He was embodied with feet upon the salty soil - although does not exist as reference here, does in higher realms exist in copy. In that testimony of exactment, the images of men and all that was said is ne'er to be found, only the Christ's configurations and issue of words, syllable by syllable, and how it went, and so it goes.

Much that does occur all around us and does work its way through to our minds or our hearts in happening, actually involves much time to concur with the soul and the realizations that ensue. We do not always appreciate the full merit or implications of the present, in the present. We may never fully 'take stock' of the present, whilst employing our concentration to its demands as well. Also, there is no obligation of the actuality to offer a truthful foresight; such projection rests on other minute by minute variables which ceaselessly coincide. So there may be grand questions a man might hold about his future, and yet at the very same time he is manipulating it in the here and now, with no real appreciation of the seeds he tosses. And how wonderfully he is implicated!- regardless of his naiveté.
Every man is accountable to himself in deciding his fate- no teacher has consultation in this. A teacher may only demonstrate the way that was theirs, not of another man's.
Christ simplified the hazardous and gave all men the quick ability to instantly know as well as any adept, and decide all moments as they arrive. He gave them the wisdom of the Heart, and this wisdom surpasses all method and law, all creed, all stipulation. For once and for all, a man did not require, as he had, to conform to the rigors of the temple-creed. His 'honors' were now internal, whereas they were formerly given and decided by the will of another. However, our Christ has given back to every man, himself. He did say in gesture, in the magic of soul, that we might all win the Kingdom simply, in pure Love; and that all the rest, all of the rest, is consequential to that.
This is a freedom for all aspirants. It implies that one does not live to please any worldly Master (named or not named); that a man need not consult a manual to find himself, or for that matter, correct himself. He may stand directly before Christ on any matter and know in his heart where best lies his next direction.
Any love which is experienced is blessed. Given or received, love is blessed. It is not a substance to be had and cast and dispersed at will. There is far more mystery than that! Given the conditions today in which all men suffer, there can never be enough - there is no blame, there is no such thing as 'loving too much'. The question is why do men love too little? How, why, the frozen heart?
The distractions of the big world are so many, and when one views most men they find that they are in constant flux. Their thoughts are largely uncontrolled, their attentions are placed in habitual practices; their minds are disrupted with poisons and poisonous concerns; and they are very busy hurrying everywhere. They hurry, hurry, hurry.
The inner wisdom our hearts afford us is there for always. If we deny it today, it shall wait patiently until the morrow; our heart and soul will be with us long after this world dissolves. However the confusion that every man suffers in day to day turmoil, does come from the way he orders his life, conspiring his future haphazardly. We do not live to simply fill our days and mark time unto eternity. The random element simply maintains that we do not consciously make effort upon the workings of our own destinies, and this shall lead eventually to discontent, and the discontent will require of us our due attention eventually.
The holy life - dedicated to the spiritual realities firstly - may happily go into the worldly arena and not only be more equipped and empowered to be proficient, but shall undoubtedly enhance the company at large, by the inner sense of solemnity, structure and truth. Furthermore, the holy life offers a man such insights as do provoke much love to come simply and be imparted through kindnesses, concessions, generosity, consideration, instruction and gravity.
The key to this inner life lies in the words that we may hold the "spiritual realities firstly" and above the all-consuming physical contrasts. And contrasts they are, undeniably, for there is an example in the lesser kingdoms, in how taken one might be in basically 'watching' and interrelating within the physical world, not subject to confer with heaven or heart at all.
Quite often we hear the complaints that there is not the adequate perception with the man, that he cannot penetrate the spiritual worlds clairvoyantly and therefore is subject to error. The fact that a man's attention is rooted in the physical world is a marvel, and an intimate relationship which affects his entire being. It is in most cases, so delicately tuned in what and how it functions, that it would be perilous to attempt to graft additional senses onto our focusing perceptors.

Oddly enough, a man is far more at home in the spiritual worlds when he is tucked up tight in his physical body. The matter of psychic receptivity is irrelevant to his true spiritual perception - Christ said, "It is the Spirit that quickeneth", meaning that the flesh into which the spirit does penetrate, deceptively clothes the truth (as does the perceived encounters of astral 'flesh'). Whereas the higher reality borne may only be known by the heart- without the obvious 'visibility'- when we come to Him, through our Love for Him and of one another.
AMEN
