Jump for Joy!- 18th June 1995

THE power of life of that which is the precursor and precedent, the true foison and surge from which ennoblement must follow, this force, above all sub-forces is: youth, strength and the impulse behind all creativity.
So it has been that men seek to contain and direct the holy impetus. To do so effectively, a man becomes godlike and god-imbued.

There are times whereupon the strength shall pour in upon this man and he shall bathe in these powers; indefinably the contrast here is attested to personally, yet impromptu does it ramify and congest within his soul-self. Spiritual supplication is as the rarefied air of the mountain, and the giddiness which takes us from this world into the upper ethers of soul comes from the essences of time becoming active. 

If we have known such elation invoked by prayer or by rapturous occasion, when in humility we have foregone our own exertions of ego for a time, it shall happen that by such surrendering of self we may receive the higher forces and be pleasantly overwhelmed and worked over anew. The essences so remarked upon belong to the memory of self which has carried through over countless incarnations, through journeys which began on starry satellites long lost to greater dusts, and it is that there are those distillations we still contain from former times and former selves which are as a richly marbled iridescence, kept pure from lesser concentrates. 


Our minds rarely perceive this 'essential self', just as supposing that the flower gives scent but cannot of itself smell that scent disposed, and would that it were collected and thus pooled to great strength, there still should be no 'nose' in bud to know it any better than it does. Etherically the action of any flower may be identified by itself, to itself and from itself. However when it may 'kiss the cheek of the sun' as it reaches its mouth to the sky and expires the scent, then, as warmth and essence meets, there is a perfume which was never so complete afore the fiery action. In other words, there is a relationship between the essence and that which works upon it that it be realized.

The essence becomes fragrance with the forces within the warmth and becomes matured thereby, whereas there are 'green' qualities to those essential scents which are kept contained and retained tight within the properties. Similarly a man and his effluence becomes radically stimulated into mature properties which are enhanced outside of the immediate self, and in activity upon all different levels there are episodes and examples of this principle - such as with the essences extracted from times in his past being into present time. 'Spiritual' experience may be gleaned anywhere, given that the conditions are right, and no less in the physical realm, for as it may be inferred most deeply, the spiritual worlds are ever present and awaiting our advances.

As discussed, the 'goodness' to be had in the clouds, in the stars, in the heart, is 'goodness' itself, and not just implied in the parcel containing. This is true. Contrariwise, there are elements of spiritual goodness always present where life is manifest, and where death wins over, all love shall succeed onto a higher plane saving that goodness in transition. So in our remains of memory, in that essential self left over, we have only that goodness which is known; only that experience from which we have prospered and enlivened to God.

Such essences become active when impressions are drawn into the depths of one's being which correspond to the essences, and by this we shall become, eventually spiritually mature in this. For example: A man may have traveled to many lands and peoples but never found true sanctuary or 'belonging' amongst his own or those further out. Then unlike his former experience within the world, he is once again content in a place, although he knows not why or from where such contentedness arises. The landscape is of pleasing proportions, he is stimulated, invigorated and jubilant. He would prize the soil, he would cherish each landmark with an affection deep and grand. 

This is not unknown to many people, that they have returned to a place which there was great love known to them in a previous life. When the recognition works within the consciousness and stirs the memories so happily, the man begins to experience himself as he matures in relation to the present place in present time. Alike to the flower who does not have the wherewithal to sniff the scent, he has, until met with the present, not known his past being. It has been contained within his ego, defined and contrasting to the greater world at large - but now it is hearkened out! There are corresponding joys which he may find himself; and find himself he shall!

Most folk presume that the recollections from past detail are to be necessarily of pain and of hardship and of all of those outstanding sadnesses which chequer the joys of the toil. Admittedly there are the sharpening stones and dubious corruptions, which along the way characterize the wisdoms won. Yet what is often misunderstood, as well might, is that hardship is not retained by the soul or in the essential man; it is ever transmuted and dignified, and that which is ingrained with a permanence is that of God and naught else.

The joy of man, as given by God, defies the Devil. He has no place for it, no understanding of it. He is serious beyond measure, but not common to the elations of joy past or present.

If we review our occupations we may ask of our involvements, is there a joy known inspired with such transaction? For there are desires a’many which lead men into employments, prosperous or void; but is there a joy to the soul expired to firstly? A joy which is before the fulfillment of the desire.

There is a transverse action here, that we may love what we do therefore, not because of what we receive from our investment, but that we are in love with the present, right in the heart of each minute involved. In this circumstance a man brings the past to spiritually mature with the present. Our travelled man does not simply go on from one place to another with the next address further fixed in his consciousness whilst frequenting the present. Furthermore, he does not stay in order to go back in time - i.e. he does not seek satisfaction purely from past recall. It is that he has found his place in the here and now and knows it to be so. 

Exactness in the present is ordinarily difficult to maintain. All men oscillate, for stability in this regard would be deathly. The reason for this is that whilst it is within our natures to move in and out of a past consciousness, past reasoning with past affinities into the present and onto the future (and we do this millions of times a day) (yes, millions) it would be stultifying to be fixed solely in the present, or lost to a future that pre-empts our experience. Man is a fluid being, ever moving, and we rely upon that expediency of being that we may continue on with a past, present and future self, honoring all accordingly.

J.P. has asked a question about whether or not we may reincarnate as Christians, given that we consciously give ourselves to Christ this lifetime. And will we be guaranteed to be born amongst Christians or should experience count for otherwise?

Certain knowledge of Christ is reaffirmed after death with qualifying vision won by faith. Any truth so great (of which there are few - the greater, the fewer, of course) cannot help but be of great and lasting consequence to an individual, who believes now that he may believe always. There are those realities which by contrast are dimly sensed, yet undeniable also. Given that the being of Christ meets us after death with an unforgettable presence of Compassion and pure Love, we are obliged to retain such memory and carry it over into the subsequent incarnation.

There are souls who choose to be placed in amongst cultures who are naive to His impact, however progressively the World will come to Christ; in the not too distant future and all men will identify Him in the very least. Different ages will bring with them the realization of His different attributes, and the commitment as pledged in the early years until now, will be unusual to what we now know. Steadily He shall be recognized in the World itself, His presence will be plucked from biologies and naturalisms. With this, a man may not work to know him inasmuch as He shall become as obvious to Man as the Sun in the sky. However the importance and the being of Christ may not be particularly discerned for many ages hence. 

To be entrusted with a glimpse of His Being motivates a man to seek Him yet further. For these individuals there shall be a good fabric to work upon ever yet further on, that the zeal for His discovery be increased. The others, who do not come to Him of their own meaningful measures will find Him nonetheless; but entranced by the overall rapture of the reality, they shall be disinclined to look further, being hastily prepared and unfit to penetrate the mysteries deeper.

Mysteries there are - one simple and profound truth that extends all the way back to our Father God's being, Mysteries of Christ's own knowledge - His fulcrum - and then further to His Future design. Within the next thousand years all men will be born as self-titled Christians, but the way in which He is perceived and received shall be of immense importance for Man to differentiate.

The consciousness of Man really requires an educated appreciation in order to begin to interpret the spiritual Worlds and the Christ which permeates them. There shall be forces within men which drive out the inclinations to inquire or make objection, and therefore to properly realize - and not only the intellect and its finery will be prone to abandonment, but the true nature of the heart may be lost to all of this also.

If the Antichrist had no audience he would not be as fearful as he is. We have seen impressions in the future which would caution us to the susceptibility within mankind for sleepiness - a non-discriminatory acceptance without valid appreciation. Usually this comes because of immaturity rather than laziness; and it happens that men would miss the fireworks for want of a match.

On the brighter side, it can be said that good men who have the drive to share the 'good' word - i.e. that they by their action of realization, of stern and mindful prayer, constancy and denial of autocratic disposals (honoring Christ before men) - these crusaders, wherever their charge, shall assist to orientate the world into that leaning a little closer to God.

And what does He ask of us? That we believe and that we may love one another as He does all souls. The criterion is plain. Therefore you may ask, why then must we work towards such a conscious winning of the Christ? Why look further than what we have?

The answer comes like this: Christ loves all men alike and if they believe in Him they shall, by their own will, permit His Grace upon them. May they know it? That is another matter and another man. The man who may meet his belief with a knowledge which is qualified by effort and intent, in weighing through each precious finding, and then furthermore with the imparting of each inspiration onto others, that man meets with the Christ in Mind. In Heaven, such conductivity translates into that realm of perfect reasoning, the experience of truths which are there finally to be met with and gained by their reality. The conscious seeker is rewarded for his yearnings, and brought to houses he had formerly gone to in the workings of his imagination. 

The Churches which support Christ may at times fall into error when they artificiate law, requesting obedience to men before obedience to Christ. This happens more often than noticed, as it is a dynamic of selfhood that we 'come in by the back door' as they say, rather than the direct and obvious door. The inference offered is that men require lesser laws as they desire them to fulfill their existence, whereas these stipulations are empty if not understood by each individual's heart and concern. 

Repetition alone will no longer take you into Eternity - wherewith the matins without celebrating each morning? It is the exaggeration of a pronounced and active believer which will lunge further the greatest advance; he who uses mind to receive his Christ, where and when he can. 

It is a pity when the sense of the mystery has left the men who proffer the Mystery. May we inspire them to desire to know, pray God, our Christ in full consciousness, to love Him moreso, for the more we shall find of Him, truly the more there shall become of us, now and forever.

Amen

The Welcoming: A Christening Baptism for Infants- 10th June 1995

Through the perils of Hell
You did recover my soul -
Kept safe, this spirit-self on tour,
Into each of Your Houses,
Through the starry gates beyond,
Untethered, unfettered,
My soul's steed roamed,
Into fields where only the Divine imagination could have gone,
And then back into innocence,
My beloved here have called to me
For my return,
With the patronage of Christ
And synthesis of parent,
- I am born.

It can be said that it is largely due to the attendants today,
Who are here within this common space,
Sharing this greeting and celebration,
That the child before us
Is now here within this World.

When the World calls to the infant soul
It does so through the vehicular resonances
Of those for which there are strong and lasting affinities -
The way back into this World is furbished by our very loved ones,
And we may offer gratitude that this party sufficed,
Verily plotting the way for this child to come into incarnation.

Dear Guardians you are:
To those unseen and unrecognized,
Our Angelic attendants and those souls who are awaiting rebirth,
Or have recently passed,
Who share a mutual love with this child:
Be it known that your blessings are received with gratitude,
For there are passages which only you can negotiate
As custodians within the Spiritual Worlds,
As soul-communities,
You shall guide this child,
Protecting that which is of his/her highermost self;
For you know his/her true and most glorious reality,
The nobility of soul, this his/her higher nature born of God.

Continue your charge with faithful and earnest enterprise.
The gathering today, on behalf of our child to be baptized,
Greets you with thanksgiving.

Prayer for the Soul's Guardians:

Dear Christ,
We are proven well by that which we nurture.
The becoming of another thus becomes as our life;
To this we pray for those who have so mingled
Their cares and concerns with the wellbeing of this infant.

Be they ever supported
And endowed with good judgment;
May they come to satisfaction
Realized by this cherished life.
Amen

You have been asked to bring a single flower,
As a token of expression
For a characteristic wish for this individual.

We may look upon these flowers now
And take time to contemplate that which we
Would empower this infant with,
In quality of Christ,
In aspect of Virtue,
With the tenacity of success.

There is a remarkable importance
Which brings together the consecutive lives here today.
Implied now and further on,
There is also a gravity of talent,
Whereupon we may affect this child,
With gifts of desire for those very talents.

If we reach deeply,
To find a spirit-gift we pray him/her be blessed with,
Then the Desire for such is imparted to this child,
That he/she may know to desire it for her/himself,
That she/he may receive it.

As a man or woman of God he/she and we are guaranteed
Such virtues as we do desire,
But it must come about within the yearnings that these be so,
And as gifts accepted and cherished thereafter.

If we look upon the flowers brought today,
We may know that they are expressions of love -
Multifaried and boldly expressive,
The flower has found its value in the World realized by virtue;
It is a living example of virtue,
By which we may concentrate our wishes for this child,
Presenting them before his/her soul.

Here we may take opportunity to openly name
That which we should impart to this child,
That by right desire he/she shall profit by.

(Each to speak in turn and out loud of their spirit-gift.
This may be a solitary word, or if moved to deliver,
it may be an oratory or example in poem of that quality, talent or aspect of Christ to be known as desirable within the child.)

A Prayer for the Talents and the Virtues:

Enhanced we are;
Dear Christ we pray
For this child here,
And for all men alike,
Gathering into our beings
Your Harmonies.

May this individual before us
Bring inspiration to the World
Charged with a Love
Both courageous and tender
To Your Affinities.

May he/she see the worth,
In becoming more of a godlike man/woman,
Ever moved to be closer
In likeness to You dear Lord,
And imbue him/her richly
Without reservation;
And with merit justified
May he/she come to know You also.
Amen

And so to the Christening:

We may ponder the name.
What is the name that we shall call this child by?
(No answer necessary here.)
That he shall subscribe to lifelong in mortal signature,
That tone for which other men will know him/her by ...

Our names are especial to us,
And there is no accident in the choosing,
We are allotted our names as best suit our being's needs.
And it is the personage of this child which has made such a choice,
Even though it may seem that decisions and opinions have prevailed.

A name is alike to the first piece of cloth,
That shall cover this child for the duration of his/her life.
Every time it is spoken in his/her presence it becomes substantiated,
And as a new thread is woven into that fabric,
Which protects and also identifies his/her being,
So it happens that after the course of not some years,
There is a garment within the ethers that resonates his/her very name.

And when he/she, in connection with this name,
Is called upon in thought by one who has spoken it before him/her,
His/Her garment shines with a luminous vitality
Given to that piece added to by the one who thinks of him/her.

We hear our names often,
Yet we do not 'hear' them as we would in the context of ordinary dialogue.
These 'our' names, are repeated with intention
And delivered with etheric force -
And this we do draw upon;
As a tonic and a strength it reinforces our own presence,
Within the earthly sphere it calls us into the present,
And it reminds us of its very first utterings.

As the soul understands the patterns laid down in the deep past,
That of its beginnings with Father God,
Thus named and thus created -
So too it shall hearken to the especial name given
In the beginning of this dear life,
And it will impress upon the memory
With great emphasis to this being,
Also signaling all Creation.

Go to the child, each of you,
And pronounce his name that he may hear it.

Know that you begin this cloth now for him,
Which he shall have built upon ever after for this life.
Know that he will become substantiated and known thereby,
And that Christ has blessed this name every time it is spoken with love.

Dear Child,
Hearken to this name so told,
May it bless you well every time it's heard.
From your spiritual beginnings,
To entrance in this World,
You have gone by one name
Which is precious to the Law,
Embossed with meaning,
Bringing you into this World,
Reaffirming your existence,
Is this word ... (speak name here).

And now to the Baptism:

This child has chosen to be a Christian knowingly.
(Say name) has decided this by his/her choice of parent
And circumstance to which he/she has now come to.
Spiritually we are deliberate beings,
And before our birth we are precise as to our needs.
Given that this child is here amongst us to be baptized,
Know that it is because it should be so,
And that his allegiance is with Christ.

On his behalf we are accredited to implore the holy virtues,
And now to Christ Himself.

As a man/woman he/she shall have the lineage of God the Father
And have God in veracious Life;
He/She shall be encouraged by Christ into egohood
And loved without qualification.
Further to this he/she shall be entitled to ask what he/she wills -
For each man/woman is as a young prince/princess in this principality,
Indulged in with his/her angelic pages who obligingly submit to his/her care,
Even though he/she be awkward and unprepared for this,
In his/her grand inheritance.

Today baby shall have his/her first Communion-
A droplet of the water in the mouth, before all others here today,
Though not the wafer -
In replacement to this baby may have some milk,
And by so combining with the water now blessed,
And imbued with the heavenly action,
The soul's food of the milk will ever after be of greater nourishment,
To this child.

(Communion proceeds - there shall be a basin of water alongside the Cup, which shall be considered by the host during the invocative prayer. When the child is to be fed it may retire out from the gathering with mother to do so, and then be brought back for the final blessing. Songs and prayers may be introduced until the child returns.)
[See: The Sacrament of the Eucharist, 30th November 1993]

Resuming:

Dear Child,
Today you are to be born into the World,
Just as our Savior and our Lord,
Became the flesh, embodied the Word.

Christ has forsworn thy sin,
That you begin anew,
Dear child you are with purity
You are, in truth, Virtue.

(Mother gives child to the host and the child is unwrapped –
placing each foot in the bath of water it is said:)

When these feet tread the earth and connect with this realm,
Be they sealed from those forces which can drag a man beneath himself,
And far from heavenly aspiration.
May he/she meet with the earth now with an invisible slipper,
Protecting him/her from the coarse and cragged road of earthly influence.

(Host dries the infant's feet and kisses each one in turn.
Then, taking each hand and dipping these into the bath of water does say:)

When these hands reach to touch or to give,
Let them be gifted with a greater sensibility,
That they will exact their task determined always with goodness.

May this child receive the World with a coherent harmony,
And give to this World with a deft and certain surety,
As of that with Christ.

(The infant's hands are to be dried,
And then the host may kiss each one at the top of the fingers.
Removing the bonnet, and gently drawing some water over the top of the head, it is said:)

When it comes to be that your heart shall leave its place,
Here in your head -
For in the infant the heart dwells here -
And is moved down into the cavity of the chest,
As the ego's will drives into the thinking -
Let it be that this awakening mind,
Shall not forego its soul's wisdom or its heart's divine.
May the heart and mind,
Be with a constant dialogue and happy accord.
Bring Christ into this being,
Now and forevermore.
Amen

(Host now dries the top of head and kisses forehead.)

Lord's Prayer for summary:

Our Father, our dear Creator, of us, of all of us,
All hallowed be Thy Name, we hold it most sacred to us,
And do know this Name to be
That which is our very substance.
Thy Kingdom come,
As no other does fix the Eternal Law,
From which all laws are born.
Thy Will be done,
For this Will does cognise all manifestation and command all form,
On Earth as it is now in Your Heaven.
Give us this day, as we embrace Your Eternity,
Our daily bread, as we ask You to sustain us eternally;
And forgive us of our errors,
As You did make us with fault and flaw,
As we forgive all others and release them from our fixed ledger of debt,
And commit them to Perfection rather than Sin.
Lead us not into temptation,
And if put to the challenge, may we walk in the shadow of Your example,
To find the light home;
And deliver us from Evil,
That by Your Power and Presence all evil may be transformed;
For Thine is the Kingdom,
None other may presume,
The Power, everlasting,
Holy, Pure and Inextinguishable,
The Glory, we do rejoice, and shall make You proud,
For ever, and ever,
In the Eternal, in You, as of now.
Amen

Animalchanneling- 4th June 1995

  "Christian Waller with Baldur, Undine and Siren at Fairy Hills" 1932 by husband Napier Waller

oil and tempera

THERE are multitudes of beings for which we are the core residence and congregate. Within the score, there are gradients of the lowly and also those who are consciously far higher and above the radius of a man. There are those who hover, those that cling in kinship, and many which are indifferent to their host; all will share an affinity of sorts. Yet primarily, with active knowing, it is but a smaller class though of no less variety, which serve a man with conscious love and obedience, adhering to his conditions and will firstly.

Of the beast kingdom we have such an episode, albeit manifestive. So what may have been occurrent of the invisible party, has become spawn outwardly and is so apparent. Likewise there are some who move about their business with indifference to Man, or even (excuse this) animosity (a good derivative); whilst there are plainly those who may work in with his natural ways to be incorporated in a shared plan of evolutionary experience.

The keeping of pets domestically may be viewed with warranted distaste for their uncomely ways - i.e. the brutish aspect is what it is - or favored with charity in consideration for a distinct species and foreign being. If the animal is willingly submissive there becomes a clue as to the qualification of the owner - not saying that the pet leopard be released from his bondage, for this is not a worthwhile exercise. However, in moral terms we may look to this as a possible guide, that the beast (or bird) is content with the residence and prefers to remain, rather than flee at first opportunity.

This is of course, a general comparison. Does the bird desire its cage? We may answer this without example. In reference to a roaming dog, the relationship between most dogs/cats and masters, is one of mutual happiness, therefore the wanderings are not to be taken as a flight out from the prison. There is a qualifying difference. On the other hand there may well be fretting on behalf of owner or animal - there may be ill-intent also (from either); in which case it is right to question the suitability or compatibility as is.

Accompanying each creature, each creature which is manifest, are once again, a further score of participating invisibles. Remembering too, that no matter how developed any being is, it shares an immediate relationship with those who are much higher and of splendid domains - and so it goes, that the implications of each are notwithstanding. Once again we may find that there are accompanying beings who are consciously attached to the beast, who are benevolent and caring for the duration of their incarnation.

However the question so asked is best answered by an addition to this: remarking firstly about the eyes of the beast concerned. They are without ego, they are vacant to speculation, they are 'open' in being; and occasionally what is established is that the openness brings passage for either man or lesser angel to communicate.

Creatures are dependent upon Man, there is no equal status upon the Globe or in the hereafter. They are utterly predisposed to his evolutionary guidances and to that which pours from his being into theirs.

The physical beast-body of Man is the most perfect, and resigned to this occupation; whilst the remaining menagerie are as aspects to degree. Impartial but not detached, they are in one sense, 'keepers' of Man also - that they keep portions of him and his being.

All that Man could achieve is in the beast. It is not preferable to return to such, but one may acknowledge the display. So thus characterized, the creatures dwell upon the Earth in muted harmony, fumbling into an existence marked by darkness and light.

Those who prefer the night share an astrality from an older age - also the dark-dwellers beneath the ground, in cave or deep in oceans - all of these, as combined with those who are nightly active, are sensed in reverse as it were; unchaste to the supreme and goodly forces, they have not given to attune to. This can be for differing concerns, yet the commonality they share gives them over to the moon influences, which they formerly recall and hearken for. Accordingly, they emanate those transeerial moon-milks out from their beings as well. The emanations are at their strongest also at night, and so unless one was actually participating with activity in the night, there is little crossover, yet some conversion by association.

For example, cats and clairvoyance have been long attributed assets because of this moonly influence so imparted. When a cat subscribes to brush past a man and bristles his fur upwardly, he is discharging his influence directly into the fluidic system of that man. The fluidic system referred to is unseen, it is the system rather than the expulsion of physical fluids. The magnetisms convort in many fluids, of many gradients. The physical fluids are but one range within that system which holds 'plasmas' of differing orientations.

There are creatures that shun the light and those which cannot perceive the sunlight - all of which are of undesirable qualities to Man, for they are incorporated with an existence which has become excluded to the penetrations of Christ in this way. Their consciousness is unawares and does sleep through the life-giving endowment daily. They are retarded and forlorn. Therefore do not eat them, associate or even keep pictures of them - to avoid conjuring their disparities also.

Specifically the question asked was whether or not a dog (or any other animal) could individually reincarnate returning to its former owner. The answer is no.
There are two parts to further this:

1. What of the animal after death?
2. What is really the relationship we know?
   

Firstly, life is life and immeasurably precious. The cessation of life, any life, is pain. There becomes a very real pain with every departure, be it the expiration of a heaven-bound cell, to the dissipation of an organized organism - where there is death there is pain.

The movement from this realm, this beloved World, is a surrendering which is incomplete. The transition is not smooth. The relays are, as yet, imperfectly maneuvered. If we are to accept that this World is foremostly our home to which we belong and identify, then we may realize also that departure out, during death, is both sad and painful. But it is not an unbearable pain or soul-destroying sadness. To the contrary, it is explicit of the love we have for the whole big conglomerate and all of the fellows within. It is a sweet-sadness with an awakening pain, which becomes as the reminder of those hungers and discomforts of hungers, which will encourage us always to return, to answer the need so known.

So having qualified Life somewhat, we may contest that when an animal does perish it also knows the sadness of its leaving. The beast who has incarnated has done so with tremendous purpose known and fulfilled, for incarnation is no slight happening, it is the significance won by exceptional grace, fortitude and delivery.

The dog who may be in our care is indeed an aspect of a soul which is not completely present or typified within its physical being. When the animal moves about the world it does so as an attribute of an individuality - meaning that it too may be individual, but in part only. After death the dog does return to its greater self, however at all times there must be a dog somewhere in the world which also belongs to the greater self, that incarnating be perpetual. The being does not ever withdraw on the whole (in the whole), unless it is taking part with the entire withdrawal of the Globe in quiescent slumber periodically. 

When there becomes the instance of the link being severed and there are no representatives manifesting, then there shall be the opportunity for that governing being to alter somewhat the propensities thus developed. Extinction leads to necessary renewal in a differing form or property. The beast continues as best he can, to keep a constant chain of incarnating members representing the 'group-soul' who is as removed, until such a time that this is no longer possible or desired.

The animals are earthbound and therefore do not require great lengths of duration between incarnation. They do not withdraw into higher spheres for communion or dream or experience, namely because there is that portion of them that is constantly there, whilst coherent here as well. 

Any suffering to which an animal has been subjected to during its life is translated into the astral impressionings, carried by its being and returned to the man or creature responsible when met with in the realms both after death and in sleep. Part of the incarnating commitment is the subjugation of extraordinary physical pain. It is deemed as extraordinary, because this is so in relation to the soul and its understandings. That which provokes physical pain does not need have bearing upon the soul in any respect, excepting that it has perniciously caused affliction to the fabric of the being. 

We are responsible for our own suffering in this way too. The pain that our physical body endures, which is brought about in consequence to our own ego's directives, is that which we are accountable for. In other words, if we cause pain to our own physical selves then we shall know more of the same after death, just as we should do were we to cause it to another creature. The condition of Kamaloka - of the purgatorial respite in which we sort out the wheat from the chaff - is responsive to our self's afflictions upon our very selves. This principle does account for denigrations which work upon the mind and psyche also. We must learn kindnesses to our selves or else God will defend us; even if it must be in contest with that part of self which calumniates our very godliness.

Returning to the relationships between man and dog specifically, there becomes on occasion certain intimacies whereupon the affections that are established are believably uncanny to the man and beast's concordances. The rapport is far reaching, and the man who is so given to the company of the beast comes to find certain understandings which communicate that speak to the heart, although not to the commonsense within the situation. In these instances we can refer to the opening commentary to find the explanation for such inferences, which pass between the pet and the owner. The pet who is subject to the will of the man and in obedience to that man, gives itself without ego involvement, into fields of involvement. Just as we may frequent a place, an egoless creature may frequent other personages, and experience the scenery and so forth.

Added to this is the capacity for the nuance of a nurturing love. The beast understands implicitly, that kind of love which nurtures it from the soul, from its own beginnings and through to its own; furthermore from those kindly humans from which it may be cared for. It too, may return much of this nurturing love because it is so imbued with it.

Attracted to this are goodly beings who are angelic or enspirited elementals (devas), or possibly deceased loved ones; for the mute animal becomes their eyes and being for a time, by which they may translate some of their love and attention through to the man who is caring for them. The animal gives itself over to the entities of the spiritual worlds increasingly, as it acquaints and associates with its master. So that for all of the involvements conspiring around that man, the animal may carry through some of those communications and empathies which are connected to one or more friends who have not the physical advance.

There are circumstances too, whereupon the relationship favors one particular spirit-soul and is somewhat characterized by their frequent presence. This is the experience which C. [questioner] acknowledges - which can carry from one beast to another in her care (providing the conditions for compliance are there, and that animal is conceivably vacant) - so that by appearances of attribute one may well believe that it is the same individuality finding expression within a different body now returning, when it is rather that there is a spiritual being who is finding expression through the house of the dog (its body) and communicating with C., thereby on an ongoing basis.

Beings have been known to bring animals to people for these purposes, that they may further the communication. Quite so, may we mention also the famous dolphin recoveries. Although given to be generous saviors in such times of near-tragedy, the instigation came from beings to whom the dolphins were compliant to. In other words, there was no direct empathy or conscious manipulation. It required some other prompting to which the dolphins graciously were in service to. Yet having said that, one may also witness just how marvelously they do lend themselves into love for men and for the world and for the beings who would 'speak' through them. 

There are all manner of spiritual beings who favor certain associations with differing species, but perhaps from this one may gain a little insight as to the depths of such experience which is often given to man and animal encounters. With the attractions and associations to mammals, there are the amenable conditions for such correspondence and activity. It is the nature of the animal which shall determine its receptiveness to such benevolent influences as are wanting to be brought over and communicated.

The dedications of animals to the altar and the sacrificial killings which have long been offered, have been in former times, utilizing the animal as an intermediary once again. Entrail readings are a demonic practice requiring that the point of death become the unction for the message to be conveyed from entity to person; working in a way not dissimilar to the above inasmuch as the creature involved is impressionable to the wilfulness thus conveyed in its physical being. But the forces released, into and out of the blood, into and out of the astrality of the creature, into and out of the demon and man also - these forces set in play, are without those influences of nurturing love as mentioned earlier - running opposite and contrary to any such regard - and therefore are most dangerous to the man who may be involved. 

Temple sacrifices were usually maintained in ways which strictly controlled the hour and operandum of the slaying. It was believed (with reason, for it was perceived also), that man could communicate with the lesser gods with such dedications of death, transporting a wish or a pledge through to the spiritual worlds. It did in fact, create a definable statement, which once imparted hung with a stern reality of permanence until addressed. 

If a man knew this craft, which was at one time an accepted form of powerful prayer, he could witness manifestations coming out from the expiring ethers surrounding the carcass, with visions unfurling of futuristic events as supplied to him from the attending beings whose presence he had called for. However the actions of clairvoyance have since changed, and although by our standards today we may find procedures such as this, most deplorable and corruptive, we may give respect to the issues of the past when it was moreover an acceptable endeavour to manage thus. 

Human sacrifice never effectively called into presence the higher beings, but only incited the lustful demons who called to defile the physical man, causing the executioner to forego his own many lifetimes hence. Demons are not selective in their aggravation, nor honor-bound. The 'priests' who caused harm to other men are themselves devastated for centuries after. As said before, angels have very long memories, and must withstand corruption lest they too become as treacherous as a man, who offers not of himself, but only others.

However, the domesticated pet who is happy in its residence and not given to unwanted pain or hunger or maltreatment, may become as an echo of its keeper, and a corresponding echo of its spiritual retainee also. All the while the creature is gaining an experience of egohood, even though there is not the immediate development incorporated within its own being. And the 'friend' that is met with, in times of companionship and solace, may well carry the qualities prescribed by yet another dear companion, who is unseen but whose presence is realized, beyond the animal existence. 

Do not be unnerved by the way the creatures convey themselves and others to you hereafter, for it is by impressions of affection, and not of intellectual reasoning that they communicate. It is not possible to converse in great length in ways more meaningful than what is already read and interpreted by spiritual attendees, and for their part, they are obliged to silence, that they remain in their respective districts, without undue or uncalled for interference. 

We may offer prayers of gratitude for all of our unseen supporters, who have favored us especially with their loving and wholesome support and found charity with us.
God bless them all.

Elementals - the Heavyweights- 21st May 1995

FOR Man to be afforded sin but be without sin (to remain distinct from his own products) he was to be attached to the beings of his making (though not design), yet free in spirit that he may return to the Father at any time. Christ challenged the demons when they grew to be all too powerful. They are of varying commons, although all are lethal if permitted into the extreme of their perversions. 

We are reminded of our ennoblement - most of which is serviced by the sorrow and bleakness of sin itself - that the ladder is indeed of many, and we are as men, somewhat in debt to our enemies for the contest. Our payment, one day in glory, shall be their fulfillment and redemption, for they too may be purified by our example; and the fashion as set by our Lord, who has taken concern upon all - all Men and their associated family.

We have begun to discuss the difficulties borne with the attachments of such beings known as thought-elementals. It has been established that these entities, though not with soul in the context of a man, do cling to and cherish men and seek their expenditure, this being most natural to them. They are constantly defiled by the heinous and unworthy desires of men, although there are most definitely advanced thought-beings who do come into effect similarly, but by virtue rather than lower means. We may look to the biblical text of Jude to find a perspective on the action and description of such beings. He writes that we may come to salvation, and speaks of the "angels who had not kept their own original state, but had abandoned their own dwelling" Jude 1:6 (Darby) - such angels who are still plastic to the ways of men, albeit ungodly. He brings to us the historical picture of that which evokes the eternal fires, concluding "Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities" Jude 1:8 (KJV). 

He continues, "Now when Michael, one of the chief angels, was fighting against the Evil One for the body of Moses, fearing to make use of violent words against him, he only said, May the Lord be your judge." Jude 1:9 (Basic English Bible).

Historically the sin of Man has been proven, and not so remarkable are the following observations thereafter; however the choice passage to be noted is thus:
"These are spots in your love-feasts, feasting together with you without fear, pasturing themselves; clouds without water, carried along by the winds; autumnal trees, without fruit, twice dead, rooted up" Jude 1:12 (Darby).

"Clouds without water" - this is a twofold description of the thought-elemental in nature and in manifestation. For these angels which have left their own habitation are so chained to the lower worlds, devoid of their qualities of heavenly ego. In Michael's realm the angels are indeed with the waters transparent to heaven. These waters translate into all worlds and are flowing spirit, but cannot accumulate in mist around the body of that which is defiled.

The thought-beings are true to man, and in this are still most characteristically angelic. They are in service to man, and although they are dependent upon him for life in an erroneous way, they are nonetheless true to his impressionings, now placing him as a demi-god in standing. Therefore we may understand that although these demonic creatures (at their lowest) are vile and loathsome, they are indeed clouds without water and appear as such accumulating around the man, conspiring in such formations - that being the second interpretation of the picture given.

Furthermore, we are in agreement with Jude, as he explains that there is no good fruit to come of this 'twice dead' procedure. For all that we give over in vitality to the lower and debased elementals is most certainly unproductive; it goes backward and forth, as with a man speaking only to himself, bringing death to the soul in the process. 

When it is said that there are men who "walk after their own ungodly lusts" (Jude 1:18) we are given the concept whereby the man becomes enslaved in his directing will to that which is going ahead of him and provoking him. Yet our message is one of distinctness - that the man is separate to the sin (conveyed by these elemental beings) and so with hope we may then proceed: 

"But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost.
Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.
And of some have compassion, making a difference:
And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh."
-Jude 1:20-23 KJV

The advice for remedy is good and plain, namely to build ourselves out of the formations of higher beings, with our most holy faith, praying for the expediency of the Holy Ghost to quicken these very motivations. To then keep ourselves in the loving protection of God, for by Him it is acknowledged of our intrinsic goodness. The mercy of Christ was displayed in this facility, i.e. that we are separate to our sin and may be then recovered from it.

To some of these beings may we be compassionate and thereby to ourselves and our brothers also, who are primarily responsible for their proliferation. To others we may find contempt in the 'garment', that we also may refuse to wear our own contamination; for this too, is to be acknowledged.

In John's recount (chapter 17) we find the words of Christ giving us a beautiful prayer:

"I do not demand that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them out of evil. They are not of the world, as I am not of the world. Sanctify them by the truth: thy word is truth. As thou hast sent me into the world, I also have sent them into the world; and I sanctify myself for them, that they also may be sanctified by truth.
And I do not demand for these only, but also for those who believe on me through their word; that they may be all one, as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us, that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.
And the glory which thou hast given me I have given them, that they may be one, as we are one; I in them and thou in me, that they may be perfected into one and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and that thou hast loved them as thou hast loved me. Father, as to those whom thou hast given me, I desire that where I am they also may be with me, that they may behold my glory which thou hast given me, for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.
Righteous Father, and the world has not known thee, but I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me. And I have made known to them thy name, and will make it known; that the love with which thou hast loved me may be in them and I in them."
Verses 15-26, Darby

In this the World is still given preference for Men, even though Christ nor his beloved are of the World itself. Instead there is the differentiation placed, that we should be kept from evil, rather than from the World. The World, therefore, is given to be important to Christ. 

And if you have not already guessed, how then is it especially decided - why not simply surrender all to Heaven in the immediate? Why persist at all with the perilous plains? This is no simple question and not to be regarded as such. What we may draw from this is that the World is to be cherished and reformed as a whole. Secondly, it is to Father God which we rely upon for such effective Love for reformation.

In the Gospel of Matthew, Christ confronts the entire body of elemental desire in meeting with Satan. Remembering that it is the nature of the elemental being to prompt a man into more of the same, he is typified in chapter four as bringing every realm before Christ which is offered to Man by experience. The kingdoms that are associated are vast, for this is commensurate with life and all of its investments; and here for Christ to purvey, he is offered the table of Satan.

The stipulation of worship is an interesting one. Of course, this is and isn't a correct account of what actually transpired. The fancies of men are overridden by the true moments of intense rapture and glory, whilst all experience, earthly experience, arrays the soul after having been borne by the ego. 

We come to life in all of its contrasts and Christ has permitted all beings hence, and held realization for each and every one. The conglomerate being of elemental desire came before Man as he did perform before Christ. He asks of Man to worship him as the Master, which of course, was mere illusion of conceit and in ignorance of God. But Man himself will not settle for second best, and so the holies are pledged - which Christ did remonstrate by his rebuke.

In Chapter 18: 8-9 Christ says:

"So if your hand or your foot causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life injured or crippled than to have two hands or two feet and be thrown into eternal fire. And if your eye causes you to sin, tear it out and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into hell fire." ISV

Here once again is the distinction between ourselves and our sin; that we in spirit, are not what places us in the world, connects us to the world or brings our perception right there. We are separate and may discard the elemental beings associated, rather than suffer their sorrows in the purifying fires of Hell after death.

However, and also in Luke 11:34-36 we find:

"The light of the body is the eye: therefore when thine eye is single, thy whole body also is full of light; but when thine eye is evil, thy body also is full of darkness.
Take heed therefore that the light which is in thee be not darkness.
If thy whole body therefore be full of light, having no part dark, the whole shall be full of light, as when the bright shining of a candle doth give thee light."

So we take into our being much and do color it so with our thoughts and our intentions respectively. A man is still squarely responsible for the poisons manufactured or the joys he upholds. We are asked to be aware and mindful of our place as co-creators in this world, and the corresponding thought-world as mirrored in our beings also.

Paul reminds us soothingly in Corinthians 2 (13:5-14) that we shall know that we are not reprobates, and that we shall do that which is honest, though we be as reprobates. His comforting thought is namely:
"For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth."
That Man is singular to the truth, and that his appearance as a 'reprobate' is deceptive to that truth.
"Be perfect" he cheerfully concludes! -

"Be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace shall be with you. Greet one another with an holy kiss. All the saints salute you.
The Grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and communion of the Holy Ghost be with you all. Amen."

Paul was in no way defeated by the 'damned and lost' elemental, when he defied them with his courage, hope and cheer. He has invoked gladness by such discrimination and has called upon a stronghold for Man to be found in comfort (for dis-ease harbors terrible elementals and runs contrary to the meditative allowances). He reiterates the wish for oneness, that we may be so conjoined as Men, and live in peace rather than incite the scurrilous activity of thoughts at war, which pitch men against each other whilst the devils feed on the remains of their humanity. His answer was in his cheerfulness and also, in the discrimination between what truly becomes a man in becoming a man.

Man is empowered to free himself and others from the overbearing natures of vampiristic elementals. It is his right to disable their harm and not answer or play to his own, nor those of others. Whilst they have cunning, Man has forthrightness and he shall win out over these sorry repositories which are verily his own personal shadows.

Our quest towards divinity is not marred by the complicated natures of these attending beings. It is rather that because of their existence being distinct from us, that we may be separate to the sin which we are answerable for. 

They suffer as we should not, but they are greedy for existence and seek perpetuation through our constant desires and fulfillment. If therefore our days are filled with joyous and uplifting aspirations it shall be that this is what they shall become, as we also will be returned with more invocations for the same.

This is why it is essential for men to come to know certain happiness, that the light of Heaven may stream throughout their souls and fill their beings completely. The thought-beings of sorrow and of hardship are hindrances to the developing man, of themselves. One must pass through these conditions and onto joy. That Christ has imbued His Creation with Beauty and with elation and mostly, moreover Love, is the greatest indication we may follow with likewise, as to how we are to become and be, best of all.
