Spiritual Healing- 7th August 1994

Questions:
I have a query regards Spiritual Healing which I think will be of general interest.

1. Is there much point in the Christian Spiritual Healing as practiced by Dr. Christopher Woodard et.al., where he prays directly to Christ to intervene?
2. What of healing prayers?
3. Of the laying on of hands?
4. Of Reiki?
   

- Bruce

Firstly, we must look carefully at what we might mean by the term 'healing' and what it implies - what it is to be 'healed'. We are most perfect for what we are at this very moment in time; for what counts, counts, what doesn't, doesn't, and what equates in expression is what it is.

The concept of healing requires radical change, whether it be in one or more levels of expression of being, and interacting and harmonizing accordingly. In origin we come from perfection, and this is carried through so far as our true spiritual position - our essential selves, our spiritual souls, are wise. To be wise is to be adept, capable, uncannily precise, without dementia, inherently accurate to, and so forth - and this we are, and so shall it be.

Furthermore, as regards this incarnation and physical malady, we suggest that there may be obvious discomforts and problems apart from the weaknesses which are shared by all. However, it is of important note, that the true path to physical perfection has not been acquired and won by anyone as yet. (Except at the very point of death, where there is agreement within the entire constitution all the way through, whereupon the man desists at every internal conjuncture.)

Physical perfection is being worked upon at this point by men and their extended family - it is not even achieved by those who are spiritually defined and purified (their bodies break down very quickly indeed, under these current conditions, and cannot suffice to withstand the fiery temperament which whips and circulates the ethers/elements and fluidic circulations).

In many respects, in the more 'perfect' the individual in advanced and progressive ways, it is found that there are 'in and out' performances required (much like sleep, but with consciousness) so that the body does not become insatiably tired or torn. This is how it is at present, because of the element of physical form in relation to the astral and etheric palavers. This will not always be so. The future bodies of Man shall become far more fashionable (in the context of being fashioned according to spirit); and he shall find that there becomes an immediate example of what he is and what he does, which is more common to the spiritual realms today. However, this responsiveness in form is saved from us, for the most part, as is the pain of our imperfections of expression.

Every time an infant awakes from their sleep, they are bonded furthermore into the worldly consciousness. They have secured themselves there, just a little bit more. And in practice of this repetitive waking - many times in one day, until there is just the one (or two as the case maybe) - the man becomes enforced as he reunites with the circumstance of his incarnation.

We can consider for a moment what this is. Sleep fetches us the necessary starry vigor which sustains our life-beings and is incorporated throughout our etheric charges. Returning from sleep does something beneficial also: it increases our power of effectiveness upon this Earth. Every waking is a marvel. That we return to our bodies, to our circumstance in whatever it is, is an incredible event. It is true to say that we are reborn every time we return from the realms of slumber, back to our beloved World.

So we find that there are men, women and children who return to their frame but suffer that they do, in some extraordinary way. The causes of ill-health are not so easily attributable; even an occult physician who has the power of insight to distinguish where the life flows and where it does not, may ponder the final remedies for this. We have often indicated that one may trust the discernment of Christ, for He can know a man from the inside out, and be him that he may be recovered.

The problem of healing in general terms is that it denotes that the entire evolution of Man culminates in it. Then there is the suggested argument also that says, that without the healing first, Man shall not sequence his chosen evolutionary path. This is why we look to Christ to manifest perfection before it is attained. For if we are to be ill-fitted to our selves - caught in unobliging constitutions - then we shall have not the means to know otherwise.

The laying on of hands is dynamic. The reason why some good men maintain that it is not required in spiritual healing is because spiritual healing does not need it, and can be effective in many ways other. Also there is the concern that the practice of the laying on of hands (or more correctly, of palms) might involve touch from the fingertips which inspire emanations that are personally characterized and willed. This is not conducive to natural healing, for we must respect that the individual who is the point of focus, is bound by complexities and does not require that of our own. We carry associations and desires and all manner of relationships to various conjunctures within our own constitution, and the living virtues/vitalities which coincide; and we may impart some of this, which translates as further confusion, to the already disrupted individual. And so, the practice of touching another, for the purpose of natural healing, is best when -

1. There is love between the two or,
2. If the laying on of hands is palm touch only.
   

The reasons for this are that our Christ's influence can come through the streams of heart-ways from the palm of the hand, should a man consciously give his heart to this, and make his body a vessel for such. Divorced from the characteristic influences as imparted from the active fingers, he may lend himself to purposefully deliver the Christ qualities which radiate out from the heart and translate in every way to the receiver.

The ramifications of touch, from parent to child or wherever there is great love from one to another, completely alter in relation to the usual occurrence. For it happens that every influence as is imparted and expressed out through the fingertips alters in that contact - in an extraordinarily beautiful way, it becomes a manifestation of perfection realized.

Casual contact, for which there is little empathy passing between two individuals, may bring about uncomfortable or even injurious, twinges of emanational activity. We are usually not aware of the cause of discomfort, but much is transported to us via touch, which speaks of a man, representing but a part of him. And that part is more than likely to be a momentary exaggeration, rather than a true indication of his refined nature.

In other words, should a man drop money into the palm of your hand, and briefly score it with his finger tip, you silently acknowledge his presence, his physical presence - then it may be that he has been brutal with himself not only five minutes before (perhaps distressed or angered, ill-tempered or short-tempered) and even if this is only because of habit, he shall quickly transmit such inflammatory exclamation through that one touch. A moment later and he may have consoled himself and become quite enlivened to enthusiasm.

To be accurate in this, we could point out too, that people do not give over money (of any amount) with much happiness usually. This is not an attempt at humor, but just yet another point to be aware of, that certain circumstances will unconsciously evoke responses in the moment, which will travel through the various fingers and emanate with a tangible strength.

But as in the case of physical touch with a loved one, a certain timelessness can be experienced, because the defined aspects of the moment (the one presiding exaggerated expression which dominates) becomes overwhelmed by the experience and expression of love itself.

This is why there is a confusion about the ego and its impressions - by love, the ego is not discounted but is fully enhanced - it appears to be forfeit, because it ceases to be intrusive and the will is appeased and satisfied, whilst the individuals, in turn, lock consciousnesses. The natural healing which follows on from this experience does so because the individuals are thereby relaxed - relaxed in order to be open to the renewing vitalities which are given the road to go in by. For example: singularly, I may express this or that as the moment does take me, but I do not become comprehensive until I may actually come to it, or to whom, with love. Then the effect within and without becomes truly effective. The love as is experienced allows Life a greater entrance, and in this we are brought healing, where it is most needed.

Now to the question of psychic healing. Every poison carries a key to its own antidote. This applies on every level throughout every phase of being. Furthermore, the entire cosmic system is friendly to men. Man doesn't just happen to 'fit in'. It goes beyond having just a place in the natural order for Man is the natural order - in toto it is him.

Therefore the multitudes of remedies and woes are of vast score and significance. There is no final solution (which is not death at this point) and there is not one 'method' to instigating a change, for the better, for health and healing. We have discussed the very most wonderful - namely, the Love of Christ and the love which passes between specially forged relationships - and now we may consider the aspects of the administration of vitalities by those who are skilled with the intent of such. Reiki maybe examined under this heading also.

There is a way that some healers have come to a point of being readily effective, and that is from that of their own experience. Some folk have suffered considerably in previous life-times, and because of the acute experience at that time - of grave pain or threat, of deprivation, of great shock - there can be deep memories interpreted in the identification of similar concerns of others.

Because of this identifying, the psyche of that individual, who is now well, actually contains a certain key which suggests the way in which the problem was answered; for in time, there has been resolution. And the presence alone, of one to another, may be beneficial and a great instigator to help. It need not be a healing which is brought about instantaneously, or remarkably, but it is conversation to the soul, from one man to another, which shows of the way in which one individual has found triumph and succeeded to survive.

Men may suffer sadness and impatience, but this of itself is a distraction to the condition and brings no supplication. The folk who feel impelled to heal may offer much, if in fact they do hold the keys as described above. If they do not have the measure of empathy and experience to draw from then it indeed becomes another matter. We may coax much in life that we may not will for. We may encourage but not summon. We may pray but not demand. The wish or the desire for another's healing is best served selfless.

Practitioners of any kind who are paid for their healing, actually 'buy' the illness they serve to treat, if they fail to deliver what it is that they have promised. Our promises hold good for all time, and no less in this manner, whereby a man may believe that he can effect a cure within another and in exchange for his intervention perceived, he may take money from another. Because of the money he has taken from the other, there is a pact between the two - whether or not either or both have an infallible faith in the cure being effected. The practitioner commits himself to the very complex binary of their now intermingled karma. It is a brave speculation - with great rewards, eventually.

Healing is a return to grace, in soul or in stature, we pray that:-

Let there be no further insult to our being -
This being of Man, and our being of Christ.


Within each one of us there is that undertow which summons us back,
Back to the perfection of Love
Whose pinions brush past and carry twofold.


In strength of the soul,
Great and fantastic goodness does multiply,
Whilst virtue's draughts infill our being
With momentous tribute to this Life we are living
And compounded to.


We pray, as we wake,
That our first choice is made and made well,
And may each of our brothers also come to this World
In full happiness, and health -
The health of a happy spirit,
Who understands the Grace of God
Which smiles with constancy and Love
Undeterred, unharmed, unmarred.


Christ give us the patience,
Whilst we are incomplete,
To forgive ourselves of that which makes us weak,
And know only of Love as is perfect.

AMEN.

The Teaching of the Monkey- July 1994

BABBLE is offensive to the listener because it delivers with no connection; assaulting, rather than complementing.

Equally so, we are unfulfilled by much of our daily occupation, which too may fail to make connection with a reality within ourselves. 

This is very much subsequent to the times, in that some men suffer a sophisticated world which requires an abstract interaction, rather than a primary purpose as executed. Disorientation can result from too little primary involvement - which is that which is done for the immediate and resolute purpose, other than as an intermediary between. This will help in regaining the here and now in the present, rather than by forecasting. We become effectual to that purpose ourselves.

This has been described in order to establish one of the great differences in thinking as it is experienced today. In recent times in particular, the intellect has separated and shrunk back from the man's entirety, both within and by his relationship with the world at large. Our thoughts and our understanding of our thoughts is changing. We have by no means developed our thinking so it is responsive accurately in keen proximity to the truth and the reality to which it is bonded.

Now this is not to be dismissive of present-day thinking; on the contrary, it is to be appreciated and accounted for, especially when referring back to works written down in centuries long past. For example, at the time when the Gospel of St. John was made account of, the men who were to receive it could then acknowledge the reality as brought before them, without reasoning. The impressions would flow from their connecting with the text and its author and the truth for which it was apparent.

In this we can understand why it was that storytelling, fictional storytelling, was unknown of. Any account written, spoken or sung, was to be a true one in accordance with how it happened; and there would be a direct joy and experience derived from such. Should a man have given a story which was manufactured, then it should bring no reality and simply be of no consequential interest to the receiver.

And yes, while we are on the subject, the word 'guile' is indicative of magic. For here we come to two points of interest: one is that it has only been of recent times in our intellectual development, that Man has been enabled to create and deliver lies. Point number two is that in place of an actual lie was the fractional ability to delude oneself.

Men have always been thought-centered, and understandably so, also there were those who by acquired skills could manufacture illusion so as to be perceived as believable. Once again, this is not reliant upon words, but impressions as linked to the creator and their production. This is the magic, the wicked magic of guile, which to a people who had no ability to scrutinize with doubt, were little equipped to decide upon something they had no reason to suspect was other than what it was. The marvelous myths from the past were of true account; there was no wherewithal to conjure up 'unknowns'; men were never that creative, the legends that perpetuated did so because they were experienced as they happened. 

Now it is very interesting to see the substitute vision - the television - which Man goes by today. Formerly he was enriched and connected to the multitude of picture visions which he could receive from others, and at times was not able to distinguish from that of his own experience either. But the consciousness contracted back further and progressively narrowed. His innocence was overswept by an intelligence which would ennoble itself by its very search to regain truth, for in this a man could win much for himself consciously. Added to this there were also demons who could deceive, and spirits-disincarnate who affected the naive men with their past happenings.

So we find that the man at the time of the Gospels being recorded, was comprehensive of the past. He was strong in his sympathies and understandings of the direct images perceived, and by this could best come to an intelligent grasp by what had occurred - even more so, possibly, than by what did occur in actuality. 

We may clarify this by suggesting that Christ Himself was perceived directly by very few men at the time of His Incarnation. Many of the men who came into physical proximity actually drew greater experience into their consciousness after the event, by the review as given to them in the Gospels through the eyes of one who really did see better than them. We might add, this happened in subsequent lifetimes for a period also, that they could go to the experience via the Gospel recollection and find Christ as the Christ.

The men lived back to front, whereas today we project our consciousness forward. We are capable of executing action which may be one hundred times removed from the end purpose, we are used to disassociating ourselves from the very history of men, with a consciousness that really cannot comprehend the differences. To most, the events which have brought Man into today are discounted as 'silly'. It is not opinion, but that they are completely incapable nowadays of looking backwards. Men look forward and pre-empt their own futures.

Men speak to men best. They could share their picture insights amongst each other. Some were clearer and stronger amongst family, but generally speaking, in the past I could tell you of some account that I did firsthand witness and you could comprehend it whole. Our dear Christ became a man to speak to men. This was the only way in. Although we are by no means suggesting that was the total of His Plan by the Incarnation, it was necessary for Him to meet Man in this way.

The problem was that He could not or did not, by his choosing effect the same presentation as would be imparted from a man. When Pilate was dumbfounded as to what was truth, he had not the experience before him as would have ordinarily substantiated what Christ had forsworn. There is a mystery as to why Christ could not or did not, deliver immediate picture-images from His own accounts of Heaven and of Himself.

We may forgive the men for their blindnesses towards Him, and understand that doubly they were unused to claims which were unfulfilled. If a man made a claim and spoke of himself, he delivered the accompanying visions of just that, or conversely if he was competent in wicked vision he could borrow from where he chose and misrepresent himself deceptively. In either case there was the credential, the credibility of the issue of experience. But not so with our Christ - in the ordinary way - for those who were prepared and most vital to make account thereof, there was a gradient of impression which marked them evermore. There can be little comment about the qualifications of those few and in what way exactly they could interpret the Master; but out from them there could be the account which was to later ripple the impressions of the truth; which taken in hindsight could then be digested and thus honored.

As men of the future, today our comprehension is quick to jump into that advance, and more greatly so shall Christ be found there, where we look forward. This may explain the two approaches to Christ and why it shall be that many will not find Him today in the gracious Bible, but need project forward, impelled with modern thought, to find Him where He awaits. Those who still may receive the picture-images from the Gospels have done so in some connection in a life before this one, and they may be enriched to the realities and the mysteries accordingly.

We must seek to understand both the past and our future in this, and respect the very many differences of comprehension so given to each one, to know them well.

Instantaneous Sufi Healings- 4th July 1994

Question:

We have a letter written to us (to you, actually) from a Dr. H. in Jordan, who has been experimenting upon people, trying to find ways in which he may invoke miraculous healings to traumatic wounds and enable these folk to be impervious to pain also. As well as this, he has managed to interfere with such gifted men, Sufi dervishes, [Tariqa Casnazaniyyah] who can, by some mysterious technique, have cuts inflicted, which then heal immediately. (Although in the case of these experiments, he claims he has blocked the process independently from their will in the matter.) We have felt obliged to come to you and ask you for an essay, please, that we may send this on to Dr. H.

THE vital essences of a man are not for indiscriminate use. There are three parts to this question, and they are as follows:

1. What is the process by which these mystics may repair injury before its effects are determined?
2. What is the outcome, in respect to man and the living organism?
3. What are the legalities of this issue? (In Cosmic Law.)
   

There is an ability in some whereupon they may step backwards in time, that their bodies may reference the condition that they were and return to it. This method relies upon rapidity, in that the time-principle involved is better served with a shorter interim. In other words, a man who has been split with a sharp knife can tolerate the according issue for a very short period of time, and we can presume that the exercise therefore is to be brief in both the physical insult and then in the mending.

The mystic who has charge over his plasticity and coherence, will work to maintain what he was rather than heal anew. It is more difficult, as every minute passes, to arrive at that fixed time of the past for which the body may recall being a particular way. The miraculous nature of this 'talent' is that the physical body has returned completely to what it was, with no evidence whatsoever of intrusion - there is no scar for which the seal was broken, no fluid imparted or evident.

We refute the notion that this principle of immortality may be artificially invoked within another man. That it might be interfered and interrupted is another matter.

The rhetoric of healing (as a case to justify research into this phenomenon) implies that this technique may prove useful for surgical purposes. However in respect to the adjunct factor of the man returning to his former condition, one would (if this was achieved) result in same preoperative condition - disease, cause and all.

The vitalities of a man saturate his physical composition. These same vitalities amass the heavens also, and are combined with purpose that they may bring endurance to being. By this we mean, that the very powers of life are empowered by God, Who by Will and by Wisdom does inspire the principles of adherence and of form, of beingness and of withdrawal; and with that withdrawal, dissemination. Without the governing Will and discerning Wisdom there should be no differentiation. Vitalities to any degree, may be directed into the adhering or the disseminating, and so we look to divine qualification for life, one that is decided rather than random.

The terms of withdrawal do not imply that one actually desists from being, but rather that they are removed from one plane of activity into another. The principle of life overall is not thereby negotiated against itself, as it is proven in its complexities towards renewal, revivification and the subsequent endurance of all enspirited souls.

The instantaneous healings of the past which have been effected by great and wonderful souls (as opposed to technique) were brought about because of the very nature of the men and their condition of being, to which they could share of their marvelous velocity of life-principles executed with perfection. But even these grand souls, who when moved by compassion did give of themselves - and did tire their selves in this transition of life - even these could not heal the entire world at once, but rather needed the actual contact, the touch, as when one soul recognizes another; as this they did do and did spend of themselves.

You ask: what of future bodies? Is this not the way of the future and therefore permissible intervention? It is important to realise that the fakir may deliver a short-term trick by which he is no more advanced than when he began. In other words, by returning to what he was before he has injured himself, he is no more the better. Now, the condition in which you aspire to with physical qualities of immortality exist in the higher worlds already. Man already endures all!

The prolongation of one's physical coherents is an act reserved for the discretion of the soul, rather than the purposes of worldly consideration. The soul dictates the term, unless it is unlawfully given cause to withdraw from the world prematurely (from abortion to murder) and it is with sacrifice and with love that it seeks to blend with the physical World at large, in its own time.

There is an impatience that is quite common to men who already know achievement. This impatience may be to see men as they will be- of future conditions afore their proper time. Certainly all aspirants have been frustrated by the very visions that compel them and there is a delicate balance to be maintained, that the savor of today is not soured with impatience for that of tomorrow. We have often asked: "For what use is a perfect body, without a most perfect man within?"

Immortality on any level implies static. Once the pinions have been leveled and the furthermost advantages defined, a man shall be 'locked' into those 'set' charters and with all of the working implications which rest with those qualities given permanence. So it may be understood, that Man at present is far removed from his physical destiny, working a little at a time on towards the next stage, so to speak, with the actual 'completion': the final physical result, not being known.

Murder is unquestionably unlawful and offensive to Life; and those who would murder will not be tolerated by Life itself and all of its lovers. Contrary to the principle of existence and the ineffable right as apportioned to every being afforded such Life, the intent to disable another's capabilities, to thwart, to insist, to will against, to intrude into their fields of fiery activity uninvited, to cause a premature death and subsequent departure, is unlawful. By that it is meant that the laws which do preside, protecting each being's freedom within existence, shall be answered so that all actions which run contrary to Life are commensurately returned.

Our actual actions are of remarkable significance and are repeated - not being the once that we shall involve ourselves in this or that deed, but rather in point of fact, we shall experience our actions many, many times over.

Although our self-conscious awareness is not fully awakened to much that we do, our preoccupations, by their review, shall enrich the awareness as it shall be enjoyed in lifetimes to come. Our participation with other men in particular, offers us insights to the experiences as they come to us from our involvements. 

These mirror-insights for which our brothers do give us well, become devastating to that soul who has brought horror and repulsion to another. Violence is taken up by the soul, echoing through the many bodies which comprise a man, and momentarily shocks the individual into repulsion. This word "repulsion" is quite meant in the literal sense - that there becomes a repulsive wave which emanates out from the being who has been in any way unlawfully set upon. The impressions of such horror as is come by are released from the sufferer, who shall not bear them ever after. However, they are attached to the very one who has issued assault, finding their parent so to speak, and remaining with that pitiable individual until such time as he may exhaust their presence.

The one to whom the horrors were emitted from actually 'owns' the key to this appendage. The horrific impressions shall not be let loose from the man until such a time as the original sufferer is satisfied and moved to love or forgiveness; and only then shall they be duly exhausted. Therefore, he who would assault becomes enslaved to the very suffering he does cause, and as manservant to all of his fellow men who he has inflicted injury upon (particularly with death), shall be bound by their terrors until such a time that mercy retrieves their troubled beings.

This principle in itself, is kindly to all men who do benefit from experience's learnings. The fact that there are still men who are without conscience proves the necessity for sympathetic karma; just as the numbers of men today who are with conscience prove a good example as result of the law.

Men for whom there have been the greatest conflicts between, do by necessity come to attraction and love in fellowship thereafter. Not only are we led to love by way of these grave altercations however, there are the special affinities which coincide also whereby two souls have only ever known joy in their companionship.

Entire races who neighbor and battle with antipathies, consolidate in later generations with many of the incarnating egos intertwined. The World ever calls us out and we demand upon ourselves by our activities and our influence, expending our vitalities where we will, with creativity or with harm; and assured to find result.

The vitalities which work within a man may not be borrowed, extracted or taken. Men are empowered to share with influence their marked vitalities as combined with communal activity, and it is by a balanced interaction that one soul unto another may call forth such life-essences that are drawn by the attracting activity of the two.

It is in mistaken pursuit that one may believe that the life-essences may be stimulated or quickened to manufacture. There needs be cause for life to enter in, and not by its condemnation do we encourage it - i.e. by the injury of existing life. 

The nemesis of Life is wrought upon those who would degrade her. Be wary of who you should offend in this manner, knowing that the only immortality worth winning is that of the pure and beauteous spirit; as the one who embraces Life with great Love, who shall forgive you of your loathsomeness and show you joy worthwhile.

John the Baptiser- July 1994

Dear Teachers,
Bruce has asked about a passage of St. John’s Gospel which appears to contradict the other gospels, in that John (the Baptist) says that he is not Elias (John 1:21), when Christ has said that he is (Matthew 11:14). Reading through again and again, I now ask you for a description of John please, in who he was and is, in what he did and how, and to what purpose? Could we have a picture-window of then please?

IT was in a cavity of sweet-water, held floating in the lake of the womb, that it was that John happened upon his Lord once again [Luke 1:41], making meet within the appointed place, this world. In foremost joy he knew that the Life was brought to him; that Life which he must go forth and reveal, employed with fervor, with haste, to as many as could receive it.

A voice in the desert was indeed a hard thing to come by [John 1:23]. What is meant by this, is that commonly the throat is so set upon with dryness that speech is stubborn and requires relief. To 'cry out' as that voice, is to be strong that you may do so. Quite so, were the men of that time most dry and without.

This could be explained at length, to understand the condition of the souls and their personage, and the wizened remains of what once was a fine and healthy people. The nervous system from the base of the spine branching to the cranium and out, had a plague of ague. The Helots were dying because of imported disease carried in by the devils which did cohabit with men, devils which could manifest appearing as men themselves - who had souls, but had not souls. And for those men who were men, their constitution was wracked with insult and burning, and they were parched dry inside with unresponsive hearts so stiffly encased; without tears, without expression, in the many other fluids which flow from a man who ordinarily bears emotion. Even the bloods became sluggish and like paste, for it was overgrown with it.

This was not the Orb as we see it, but it was nonetheless, the old world out of which we did advance. The transition from sphere unto sphere was of itself a catastrophe of kind, one which still resonates upon this world and does cause ill because of it. The catastrophe was moreover a spiritual war, vented with insolence which damaged many souls and entrapped them with a guile.

There were also many advanced spirits and men who foresaw the episodes which were to come (and repeat, in minor degree later on) and although the conditions of those very ancient times were as now unrecognisable, they were to be the beginnings of our Christ being called upon, that He should save all the men who were left.

There is a spirit of the Moon, our old Moon, which is not the one which ensouls this planet, for there is also she which tarries on, to which we all gravitate. This planetary spirit was not as the enspirited Moon, but as the enspirited body of Men at that time. He was the Captain, so to speak, mighty and forsworn to his people. This was the spirit Elijah, which was to be of John the Baptiser, who necessarily could bridge the way and so sacrifice himself to Christ.

That the head was to be later severed from the trunk [Mark 6:27] was the most pitiable example of the relinquishment of such forces as were holding our new planet at bay. For Elijah gave up himself from the world, as part of the withholding of the old ways which bent so heavily upon the Globe. He withdrew from manifestation also, being present only as invisible, as he makes passage to and from the old world into this. The men he loves are still his men; and yet they have, by the grace of Christ, become altered and now impervious to the lower influences which struck at their souls from their brothers’ remains. For it was that the graveyards of lost souls made suffer the fresh, seeking their life once again, pressing on men who were walking the Earth. These remnants of men have now their spirits sleeping, and have separated off in the wasteland of memory adhered to the old Moon.

He who was Elijah renounced himself [John 3:30-31] that the men might proceed forth in order to recognize Christ in His full magnificence. It was to be the death of self of the old world and old order, to permit Christ to come into the waking souls of all men. In this queer example of refutation - " I am not" - it is plain that he has no longer acknowledged himself and in this found true sacrifice, for greater Sacrifice to later follow.

The remission of sins was a regaining of certain (as ensured) strength on behalf of the men who sought to purge in preparation for the receiving of the Christ, that they were truly in freedom, as appointed by Christ Himself; that they could shake and loosen from them all that was undesirable to them and become spiritually glorious once again.

The events at the waterside were all joyous and exceedingly "hearty". For there, immersed beside he who was with the Spirit of the older world, who knew the waters like no other, there was the portal through to the new world, finally made apparent to those men - cleansed from the deceit of the past which had pretended to be in all realism their very fate. So those who were overcome with freedom weighed heavier with the water which had washed over them. They received it into their physical constitution, as it lessened the strengths of the condensation of deposits, and brought about a lively circulation of all fiery and inert forces.

The men thus transformed then saw Christ in His radiance; and because of their departure from failure they could then absorb the Hope which poured from our Master’s Being. And this Hope was so potent that it could touch the hearts of any man who could come to see it. From one unto another it gave the vision to the soul. Borne by Love, the Christ-light entered into those who would first believe in the freedom that He gives for this, our Future.
