The Banner of Michael - the cloud belt- 18th September 1994

WHEN water is the pulp of plant it has become that plant until released. In Man that same water transports many qualities, and within one corporate body it has many identities, some which lend to the plant in the man, the beast, who labors for that man, the organs (and blood) which come under the persuasion of their starry counterparts; and too the soul's expression as is foremost in the fluidic systems.

When fluids are departed from a man the water deceases out from the residual, which is and isn't of that soul quality- depending, for how that quality remains and travels relies upon the presence of yet more fluid to contain it, otherwise it too shall vaporize and return to the man of the original emission.

When fluids combine there becomes a full and lasting commune between the soul natures of the contributors. On a lesser level than those shared man to woman, mother to baby, the implications are no less ponderable in the case of foods in which the fluid is retained, retaining also their higher vitalities and characteristics from which a truly nourishing combination is derived. Once again, if the waters are extracted and released leaving dry residual, then the material which is left over has been divorced from the true soul substance which inspired it. 

So as that water travels it does sacrifice itself completely to that which it makes plump and gives it passage also for correspondence and communication from one into another. Therefore it offers the harmony into which soul forces may coincide and thereby experience such combining.

As it works its way back to the roof of the sky, it collects because of the soul forces there that it adheres to, and is thus so impressed throughout by those of the greater Angels. For that time in which the waters are held there up high, they become Angel and are purified from any other association that may have held over and been exhumed from their travels beneath.

If we meet our fluids with humble water directly and take it to ourselves, we may from fresh rainwater, be welcoming the influence of Angel, as dispersed - into glass preferably. However, should it combine in tank or travel the pipes, then the influence of the metals used shall immediately drive out and dominate over the sun-drenched cloud substance that was.

Distillation, on the other hand, renders the water to be completely virginal: to be as it is, as apart and alone from association - 'thirsty' (yes, water itself is by nature, very thirsty) for to be imbued.

Clouds release their form, not because of their being overburdened, but because of charity. It is to these Angels firstly to which this water, as it appears in the physical World, comes to be and thus it seeks to return. It is they who have called it into being, and they who give it over.

The nature of such sacrifice for Creation's sake belongs to our Father in all of His example. The principle of water traces back to Him and is foremost to all subsequent manifestation. The manifested waters are intrinsic to the beings to whom they belong, as part of their substance - and in combination also - as Christ issues water out from His Being into the Angelic vessels who in turn are protectors of its purity and deliverers of its grace unto Earth.

Long before the appearance of Man, Angels were active and abroad. Both Angels and Man were issued with 'being' at the same time, whenever that was (for the sake of exactness this is an impossible estimation); and as the shape of Man entertained its zoology and 'mastered the elements' to the point of today, their brothers in existence were all the while attending. (This is a very true meaning, interpretive of the parable of the 'Prodigal Son': one being Angel and one being Man).

Philosophically there has always been the conjecture that our Father, in His Wisdom, realized perfection in His Angels already, so that there should be no disappointments to follow. For goodness shines throughout their collective consciousness and as one mind they are directly responsive to our Father God's intention, knowing only Him and His ways.

Unmarked by personal thread - they are unawares of person and without ego, even if they were to experience personal loss or painful transition - the Angels are directly sympathetic to their brothers in being and are piteously affected by all sorrows as known to Man. When men may resolve much of their agonies, then too the Angels will be relieved correspondingly.

For every soul of Man there is an angelic being in number, whilst many more besides in countless variety of station and ability.

The word itself, Angel, implies most simply "reflective to God", and any such being which is not so, is not therefore, an Angel. "Fallen Angel" is a corruption of the word by the association. "Black Angel" is absurd and contradictory; whilst elemental beings who are pristine pure in character and obedience, may likewise have earned the term of merit and category.

Some men have in their final summation of themselves opted for such ego-less perfection and have become Man-Angels in being.

There are varieties of birds which are angels also. The negotiations into physical substance is not a prohibitive factor in this instance, for the compromise is slight. The birds work to purify the ethers that are rightfully their domain, not only by their song, but by the quality of that song which is borne out by the very quality of their being. Great goodness is not dependent upon commensurate intelligence. What it is that our goodly winged creatures bring about, is by their living expression of such knowing. It is not an interactive consciousness that needs to receive back into itself; it rather gives to the world selflessly transmuting the vibrance of a spiritual accord with the physical creation in its everyday fulfillment.

Respectfully then, we may acknowledge also our feathered Angels in this realm, along with their insect cousins of the variety who serve this world with such harmonious single-mindedness. Therefore, one may picture that there are many that honor this title, who bear similarly by compliance, service and objectivity.

In Christ and out from Christ, there is both the Angel and the Man. And just as the Angelic aspect becomes in the living waters, so too the consciousness which is the ego of Man is becoming in the light as issued from Christ.

Self-consciousness and all it entitles, brings to Man the very highest reflection of God, once perfected, for when self may contrast with self, as one to themselves or one to another, then it is also that in revelation there is a meeting of minds: Divine Mind and Man.

Christ knows from where all calling thoughts come from. When we are pure to receive back the attention He responds with, we shall have fulfilled His Faith in us that blessed His men each with unique appreciation.

And by our self-knowledge we come to openly applause God in all that we are, willing it to be so.

There used to be an old joke:-

"What makes up the difference between Angel and Man?"
Answer: "Nothing."

(In either consciousness.)

The Angels are learning through Man. This is the case - that Man does not persevere with his course purely for his own result. Just as the one being is inextricably incorporated throughout, Humanity is all that it affects as well as its own, and the overall karma is complete to this.

Furthermore, it is the principle of fluidity by which there is action and movement. Suppleness in physical matter, mobility - even in the higher fiery actions - is enabled, as within the spiritual worlds, because of fluidity.

The nature of Ego is to gather unto itself and contract inwards. Without the Angelic impulse, all life would be immobile and within its own field, never enabled to interact or move out and beyond itself. Our Father God's impetus to 'go beyond Himself' and venture forth is the very marvel and mystery of this, that no being, including Him, is self-satisfied and self-fulfilled only.

By contrast, Christ brought us the consciousness which may discover this reality: loving both the detail and the diagram, redeeming the Man in Angel and the Angel in Man.

MICHAEL & the defense against that which is uncommon to Man: Sin & the Alien- 11th September 1994

THE gleam on the flat of the sea in the first light or last light, shimmers with the vaguest of undulation, reflecting back the glancing sparkle. When read, the words describing might bring forth recollections at best, but shall not make the waters come lap at the feet. The iridescence of the illumined horizon will spread across your being, it will move from the head and ray down into the extremities, as it did when first and last seen out there on the bay of the beach.

Some would utterly discount all days before, unless there was evidence of their having been. Some might argue that projections cast into hope are faithful to a future which is unreliable and does not bear credence.

Reality is as reality does - whilst perceptions, recollections and investments in the cause of are superficial to its form, but as memorable as the beauty of sunlight kissing the sea. We may ask at what point one may attribute value to reality only - sparse and inconsolate - compared with that reality which is perceived to be in conjunction with other worlds.

Reality at face value, in relation to people, tells us very little; in point of fact, it becomes a minimalist science to hold discourse with the common and familiar. The reason for this consolidation amongst conversations is because there becomes a respite therein from the most painful self-reflection. Admissions arise but do not issue and are kept intact behind the lesser ego's veneer of personality which defends the characterization of the man as it becomes established and enforced with commonality.

It is not cynical to say that men usually speak to avoid honesty- if they have not been purged of their upsets. Every man has a wholesome core. He is disgraced by himself and quite aggravated because of those associations that remain. This is the black bear of all psychology, and there is a foundation for said concern if we are to look for a release for each and every individual which will enable his consciousness a freedom to relax.

One to another:

"I forgive you. Let that be known by you, that I see only a perfect man in you who has been injured by wrongdoings which were slight or grave mistakes. There is no sin that can live with you. There is no demon who may claim you as their partner. You have been freed and released from associations of incongruity. You are a splendid being who has and will endure.

"Submissions to karma will be answered, and you may share in my courage for this and for our future; for all of the future of all men, because this one body of individual souls incarnate, is one body of Christ's also and He forever directs His intent inward upon us.

"As I am before you - if you will - you may entrust me with your self-sadness and deliver it for absolution. Whenever you may have faltered or weakened you will have memories of crimes incurred, and for those which are apparent and present, you may offer them to me that I may examine and treat.

"I am not the one you grieved, but may stand in their place and become self-named, so that the forgiveness will settle this upset which prohibits peace."

There is a planet, quite invisible to Earth, which is called "The Guardian", as it circulates quite close and its presence is protective and related to our own. It is as a satellite to our Earth, massive and with the path of an extenuated loop - the body of our Chief Angel Michael - that advances and collects with sedentary obligation, whirring and dancing as an invisible mass. 

We have deemed this 'body' (being not celestial but perfunctory) to be a planet, as it does increase upon itself and makes also for a station upon which men may reside. And one need not imagine Michael to be entrapped in a central cavity within. It is a sphere of relative substance, although it does not comprise his entire or greater body.

Spiritual beings, such as the Archai and arcane are not limited to spatial distinction. They require form but are on the whole, much, much, larger than we the lesser beings, may ever comprehend. How often it is that we really do only see a part, or a part of a part, without the full knowledge of the legend, and it is unrecognizable to us.

Throughout our skies are filtered many such parts within the upper hemisphere and we view 'shadows' of greater beings impressed in the humidities (the clouds), and though the Guardian circulates quite far apart from our cloudy-plasma ensheathed, it is markedly permeated by those movements and motions as he plots his design in the upper ethers.

The immediate realm to which it belongs is touched upon by the 'larger' circumference of this Earth, and the atmosphere is light impressioned and etherically active.
Men are pure beings who often require defending; for the truth in the matter is that the spores of disaster, moral or superficial, are foreign to Man, having been collected and dissipated during our Moon existence or still as incoming from stations below and beyond.

There are legions of Angels who are fierce (yes, fierce) to expel and do battle daily with intrusive newcomers. We must be firm about this one 'Holy War', that it is a mistake indeed to be inviting or tolerating to such 'space' entities which interfere with Men. It is essentially a spiritual war, but with physical casualties, as the innocent men have received all strangers graciously, and with unsuspecting lenience, allowed them a certain admittance. 

However, devils with horns or devils with bug-eyes are equally as undesirable and unwholesome in their communing with Man. This is a most serious issue and one not to be avoided (since you yourself have raised the question); and too, ancient in origin, although overlooked by the present generations.

Yes it is that the awesome 'realities' imposed upon the naive sensitives are detractions from Christ and His becoming (in them and in the World); whilst furthermore, the designs and motives of inhuman 'invaders' are parallax to our own development. 

Why is it not asked and brought to caution at the numbers of men who would unconditionally accept these entities, believing their practice and word to be godlike or relevant to our Humanity? The crusade of the 'New Age' is one of contest between alien and Man; as the spiritual minds of men awaken, we pray that it is to Christ and not to demons.

Within the ecology of Man (which is Christ) is the shared relationship of a multitude of beings - being almost countless in differentiation - but all sharing keys akin to each other. Although we tend to place all animals under the one kingdom heading, and plants and elementals likewise, there is a remarkable oversight in this practice where we have mistaken the generalization to be the complete fact. In truth however, every species upon the Globe (the greater extended Earth also) is distinct from one another. There is Man, and as part of him there comes millions upon millions of differing species, families of elementals who are our own and so related, and markedly differing in characteristic, attribute, intelligence and so forth - and species of beast, fish and insect, plant, seed, tree and flower, and Angel.

There are scores of millions of differing entities within this family we are comprised with, and in order to appreciate them all, there should be such a great selection without the necessity to go seeking outside of the immediate family for diversity. Every one of these species has divine heritage, from the smallest, the bizarre, the little breathers to the disincarnate. All of them are positioned, in part, in other realms of existence concurrently having differing fusions of conscious activity accordingly.

There is an unspoken love within this family, of being in kind. Even though there are predatory terms of existence, there comes from this too a love also, which is ever worked out and brought to bear. The entities which we know to be undesirable are quite rightly termed alien - foreign in every respect - and we do not shun them because of diversity, for as it was just mentioned, that alone is of no great matter. We do not tolerate them because it is dangerous to do so. The ship is full, the doors are closed, and because they have no cross-reference of signature with us we shall be compromised one way or another to have dealings with them. They are the virus to Man.

Men are dissuaded from lively thinking and discrimination quite often because of the personal sorrows they harvest. We do not suggest that all extraordinary encounters are perilous, or even hazardous, for it might well be with one of the angelic beings to which this follows. But folk when asked to reflect on the nature of their experience or fixation, are often unwilling to question at all, and this becomes apparent that they are then predisposed to believing anything, without the necessary discrimination in review.

Discrimination is essential as we begin to refine our beings and our consciousness. A skill which is acquired by repeated practice in testing and in failure, helps bring us to proper realization whereby a man has earned his certainty.

This is a fine experience and not as awkward or niggling as some might have it. The arguments which oppose proper inquiry and right questioning are defensive only to mutability on the whole, and are from minds which are fixed because of some unrelated unease (which as said before is connected with the burdensome sins of the past interrupting their clear thinking).

This is why the 'love' as experienced from a foreign entity promises to release the individual from all connections and associations and is thus, unquestionably invited - because:

1. It does not recognize the insult of sin (rather in loving regardless, and often shares in the tendencies anyway).
2. Suggests that the overall suicide out from Humanity will cleanse and purge the soul (what's left of it is another matter).
3. Defiles truth and higher knowledge by discrediting learning and discriminating therein.
4. Offers only a 'false love' in that they would change a man to suit themselves, and then and then only, after such open submission are the men to be loved.
   

How do you tell a truthful Whitefoot? If a being gives you a name, which is not as representational, but as a name that is theirs, and they are acclaimed to be highly advanced, then you may know that because it can never be their true name they have lied from the outset. It may be to please you, deceive you or impress you, but such a title will be a falsehood, and if this is not explained from the start, then a false presumption has been dubiously made.

A seer may know a being by their glorious attribute, but shall not call them rightly by their appointed and true name. If a medium introduces you to a famous title, then at best you are in the company of an admirer thereof, or at worst a charlatan who knowingly would deceive you.

High souls of note do not formally introduce themselves because their true accreditation lives in Christ firstly and their individuality need not be mingled in egos in twain, because the divinity and purpose would be then dispersed by such combining.

Once again let it be said, dear friend, that the truth itself is of much greater importance to you than any defined contact between master and pupil. For the master is not the 'be all and end all' and is but an intermediary between the student and God. Therefore the distraction of such combining is uncalled-for and not worthwhile.

When there comes a good and proper time, when the teacher is so known, then he is permitted to come forth, by which stage the aspect of confirmation is no longer needed - and so it goes.

As agents for Michael we contest the promises and intrusions of uninvited entities, who wittingly or not, disservice our natural progression as Men and are stupid and insolent to Christ and His Charities.

Joy is Life- 10th September 1994

IN all that we've done, from all that we've been, we are here today sharing this moment. Our gowns which spread back to our eternal beginnings, are tasseled like medallions, with each and every learning. Whilst our beings, pure and in perfect Grace, await the supplication that only love's Wisdom brings, in accordance with the Heavenly Order.

Our wonderings, once fired, expel the old lethargies, which make no protest in evacuation, resolving their witless obstinancies.

We give measure and account, but by no means strive to bind and contain that which we embrace. Our passage together is brief but constant, in this our reuniting; and with episodes between there comes the diversity and gifts we bring to offer here today.

Our souls are hungry for nourishment and for steady commune with like souls and with Christ and with the benevolent beings who serve Creation.

We belong to Father God and as tribute to Him we admit ourselves into His Care, knowing that all will be well, always and forever. So we may not accompany our studies with a fear which suggests a divine inadequacy ever, but rather be safe in the knowledge that calms and exposes those happy and fantastic joys. For every injection of such joyful, inspired awakening fortifies the student in all parts of his body - of which there is only one to which the essences combine and the fiery forces circulate and the organs cleave to the bones and gravitate. Only one body we avail, and it is ours and us, and coherent with Life. (For fractious thinking in this regard leads to ill-health.)

It is that this body is not merely representational or superfluous to soul, but is indefinably so connected and permeated that it is our substance. This substance is primary to Holy Cosmic influence, responsive to its virtuous impulses which characterize what we identify as fractured aspects within a man.

However, we are exceptionally instilled with such higher nourishment from without every time we come to a realization that reaches into the soul - be it gently or all at once. That comprehended, spiritual reality will invoke an accompanying joy which shall in turn, call upon the Graces from without and manifest them again within the body of the man.

Men die because they have too little such joy in their lives. This is the one and only reason - and then too, sometimes the artificial lead-ins to the ecstasy of Heaven invoke a sudden death because they are not enstrengthened by their own means to journey back.

The physical body corrupts because the governing life becomes impoverished over time. Would that the true Life was given expression and fulfillment in soul terms, then it would be obedient to the principle and ever renewing. This of course, will be very much the circumstance in further incarnations, but we advance towards this from this point on.

It is not that we seek to be eternal beings, or for that matter, eternally young, for we are all already this beneath the skin, and unhampered by death in the long run. However, it is a natural development of that part of our body - our communal selves - whereby we gather as men at our home station with our consciousness becoming exact and defined, and our interactions exceedingly significant.

Our purpose with this planet and with each other, is rarefied by our attendance. The incoming souls at this time, have been called to and sought for from all of those places the deceased operate out from; both real and creatively real, in spheres of consummate activity. They have been called to attendance because their dear planet has urged it so, as a mother craves her children to return home once again.

So it is that we obligingly turn back from whatever the wonders were which entertained our subtle beings. Her call is heard throughout: it even penetrates the hellish catacombs where souls toy with monstrous astral wraiths, who in captivity are now bled from their own desires, being overly pronounced in this 'man and demon' project of concern. For when men love men and act so, they are enstrengthened, but when men love their demons moreso, they are enstrengthening their bedfellows and committed to them after death.

But the Mother calls for return, and even the weary may remember enough of their humanity, and as quick as the inspired desire, it becomes in motion. Once again the starry streams make their way to the entrance of the Globe.

No, there is no guilt to be felt in desiring the highest or humblest of joys, for this is Life. Truly, what not only sustains us but supports us, substantiates our commitment to reincarnate. Even the most tortured men who suffer ill-health, extreme poverty or great threat in their lives, have to know their measure of these joys else they would not struggle to remain and be adamant about their withstanding.

We celebrate Creation in our admiration for Her, and we celebrate our hearts and minds by our purpose, our use, and in our sharing of them.

Oh Joy!

New Consciousness & Doubt- 28th August 1994

The following essay, comments on the experiences and apprehension of some students regarding their spiritual experiences.



EVEN we startle easily!

What you have spoken of is of two differing concerns. Firstly, a mind which is unaware of extraordinariness becomes a dim one indeed. Comparison and contrast! Remember?



That you have difficulty accepting a condition which comes to you when you are unprepared, is only to be expected and of no concern. Surprises are surprising. So you must not expect to be capable of being 'matter of fact' about those things which are not so.


We do have very subtle ways also. Keep a look out over the months to come, stay more awake and you may catch on to what we do for you. This shall encourage alertness in this world, for this is what we would have, not mindlessness or camouflage.

As for the second part to this: the overall issue of such total experience, from which afterwards a man is never the same again. We would suggest that the 'peace' will come moreover, and not so the frantic overhaul as imagined and even feared. The unsettledness comes from living those aspects which compromise the noble being within. We (as in you) can rework the life or adjust one's tolerance accordingly. The choices will always be there before you. 

Experiences will come, should you desire, and they may be unlike any before and shall be as worthy of you as you are of them. Not all experience, particularly in this realm, is to be held to suspicion or regarded as injurious, providing it is understood also that the most exquisite of challenges will depart, and come again.

To feel the brush of an angel's wing, their tear or their kiss or that one embrace which does embrace all of humanity with a boldness and a braveness that truly believes Man to be lovable; or to find in Nature amongst its rapid outbursts of impetuous expression, the whisperings which issue from the aliveness that has endured ever triumphant, the assault of those astral groans which the slag of an intemperate Man has expelled all the vileness into, and the passion of anger, of corruption, and worst of all, of revenge, which does perpetuate the grief.

Yes, one can feel the optimism of the etheric world in its crystalline laughter which echoes the fall of water, out and into the cavities waiting, defying the dross and the ill-tempered demons who contest beauty because they have none, and so despise the natural world in its lavish dedication to this happiness.

Yes, you might even find Christ amongst the haphazardness, and in the quiet and in the challenge of knowing serenity once and for all; and in the certainty which you shall never change around again, but defend because He is your life.

Perhaps the greater question must lie in what that implies, when the minutes and the days take on new importance and one now comes to review that which may be done with them. New consciousness is awkward whilst the old, distracting. The adjustments in themselves, may be taxing because of their necessity to succeed.

Christ does not underestimate your love. As a man you may do this about yourself and feel keenly inconsequential and also may need to outwardly remonstrate and signify this deepest feeling within. All of this is wholesome and good, and from it there shall be that seriousness of importance; but all the while this is not what Christ needs, for He knows your heart and mind as you are, and knows the girth and gravity of your deepest love. Therefore no man is required to put himself to the test artificially- karma takes care of that in between the maneuvers of options placed within its score. So we are not forcibly (against the grain) determined to become or display such attributes of being which we are uncomfortable with or unsuited to.

The great Masters each developed such talents as they are now known for individually. The 'all-rounder' as you say, is a little disqualified from mastery - oddly enough, because one such acquisition of talent tends to conform to another, in which none are then especial.

It is a privilege to become tempered by our weaknesses and intent to assume our place above them when at the Will and Willing of God we are afforded. It is a privilege also, to make use of those particular strengths and talents we enjoy indulging in, and spinning them throughout our realm of activity in wise and wit and in becoming.
Therefore we do not grow into anything for which we have no loving in becoming in the first instance. There need not be fear that great change shall occur in consequence to the inner-life flourishing.

Doubt is a demon and a liar also. Don't believe him. One may always tell the difference between doubt and concern, and doubt and proper caution: Doubt pulls faces (with a flair for the dramatic) does a lot of waving arms in the air, justifies itself in defeat, and is contemptuous of loss. Concern, on the other hand, is instructive, informative and impartial to contempt. Caution as brought to us from our inner guidance, knows danger to be presenting and then seeks the source of that alarm. Therefore the actual reasoning is not relied upon, but that the intuitive faculties are awakened and cautioned before proceeding further into that which we are cautioned of. We may still tarry on, but in ever readiness to respond in a way which hitherto might not have occurred to us.

Therefore, Doubt is not accommodating to the current condition. It is a no-way one-way entity, which brings death to those it wins. (Death, as in cessation to ideas, plans, hopes, futures which would have been spawned etc.) Doubt rebukes oncoming success, and when it presents to the man who needs optimism within his spiritual outlook (inlooking), it may dissuade him from Christ, in the suggestion that he is not worthy enough. However, you may well believe that you are loved and that Doubt is no authority on this or any other matter. You are loved by Him and can know that all of the tremblies live on a different plane of interaction, whereas the silent commune you share with God is unfathomed by they who contest your sincerity and promise.
