In Memoriam- July 1996

Before you go I have to ask, did the motion move complete?
Were the Autumn's gold,
And the Season's mask too warm, too cold,
Too brief?
In one tallying breath or thought, now gone,
Of a mood barely felt of a faraway song,
Can we know what was meant?
Or make good the intent,
And simply be done?

As a man we begin self styled humors all told,
By the Spirit's grace,
Yet with aged face,
All soon takes its place,
In tribute to self.

We exchange a provision for creating the compound,
Skip skies and cluster clouds,
Heave waves and then we firm the ground,
Tow the rope that pulls this world around,
Coal the furnace to stoke our beloved Sun.

Come to me now my company,
Come to me, my dear soul friends,
That we may all give thanks together,
For moments known and moments shared,
For scenes and dreams and in betweens,
And even all those could have beens.

Behind the milk glass pane awaits great friendships to renew,
Of lovers and children, angels anticipate,
Of parent and sibling there too.

And here in best robes, the soul's drapery,
We move about in the light and warmth of our God in our finery;
Magnetic our love, to this and that one,
Magnetic our drive to His Grace and His Love.
Snow is naught but snowflake,
Our world comprised of people.

Life is causal deep engrossed in voluminous divinity;
Death's mildew dissolves in this new day soon won,When together we wake to same morning, same Sun.

Milk; Denying Incarnation; & Embracing God- 1st July 1996

BEFORE there was sorrow there was milk. Before there were tears expired, then remote to sadness, long before those who now know how to weep had wept, there was milk.

All substance is profound, yet some substances have eternal implication. Salts for example, remain residual in chaos, in Heaven, after mist. Before time and prominently after time, the testimonial salts remain.

Milks have secreted from plant, animal and heavenly being - substance as sustenance, imparted to further yet another life other than their own. Here the principle turns to nurture that which is upon its own plane, that rather than from hierarchical domain, comes impulse and influence to nurture. Upon its own does it create to fulfill its own, and that is the outstanding nature and principle of milk.

Yes, the fluid of milk transports soul-life and soul-love, certainly in ways immeasurably greater than any other substance imbuing, save the clear water itself which is transmuted. However, this principle just mentioned also gives us the cosmic picture in this lateral equation.

When divinities themselves cease to merely "pass through" from their way, on their way, it is then when like can heal like, like can be like, like can further like, upon its own level. This principle is necessarily understood as regards ourselves and our dealings with others. Likeness need not be understood to be as sameness, for to be 'in like' is similar, not same. Yet also may we know that there can be other accompanying variables which incorporate men and their mix as well.

To be one and the same, to be individually contrasted yet in likeness to also, is party to the healing and sustaining found upon the arms of the Cross. Our world must heal itself in ways that spirit cannot penetrate from the top only down. You may picture, if you will, how small the opening is into this and that vessel, whilst how greater the spread may be when the spirit moves laterally out into the world at large. But it must meet world with world. For this there must be a mutual speak, a mutual comprehension and a mutual grasping.

Like souls seek out the company that will sustain them for a good reason. Without such true companionship they would be bereft of their vessel to give to and receive by, in understanding and in connection, in spirituality and in kinship; as need there is for outpouring and receiving with those in likeness to one's being.

How often the answers are here and all around us! The poet and the artist, the geometrician, the scientist, the problems that quiz the mind in random search are often found answer to in the immediate natural world, which has inspired the truth of the question there and then. How frequently too the troubled may look to the 'ordinary' world about them and find an illustration of some wonderful story which unfurls itself within the reach of their soul.

It is when we meet, just as stones in the road with successive sequence ongoing, that we advance, both on this plane, but also into the higher realms as well. This fundamental principle involves our Father God and His presence in this transaction. Picture: Father God resides at the beginning, and then as we move away (are pushed with forces extreme), our links remain, our channels back are in place, however we are removed. And then to cease the descent and level out, give over the forces laterally to a good and greater purpose, Father God is brought in, His Presence becomes in the giving between two. In the travel out and down we have one solitary action. By combining, in the giving, we have as was His initial Creation, that one gives life unto another. Never was there a holier principle than this.

When plants gave milk to men and sustained them, there were also combined with the men, those natures of the plant-world which belonged as expression, to higher beings. The plant was brought to manifest as an organ belonging to an angelic soul, one which gave itself in the love of Man to be as 'mother' to man, then in incarnating infancy.

At this point men could not fathom other men, although they viewed each other internally upon reflection. Directly, there was as though no sight, there was warmth, there was world, but no outer ego recognition. Father God here was experienced in the receiving, but not in the giving from each young soul.

But prior to this, before the attempt at physical incarnation, the spirits of men held intercourse with lively recognition and were suited and matched with definition and with prominence. The negotiations which have been labored, have brought to men a little of a dishevelment; yet always the 'bright sparks' they were; beginning as such they shall return to be so.

In early ages the wisdom of each man exceeded that of the lesser gods. The comprehension encompassed the spiritual mind of man so that wherever he sought inquiry he found instant understanding. A man's spirit was so gifted that he held an eager love for every ongoing fascination and he was transported here and there in wonder continually; but with no containment to speak of! However, with containment came stupidity, and Man had to then work his way through the corridors of finding one by one.

The word "trust" can be mentioned here (again). The infant does trust in the goodness of the milk and takes it. If the infant did not have this trust, all of the process to follow would be blocked. So in this principle we can examine what is necessary for the receiver in his relation to God and to gift, that not only does it involve a mother giving to her young in the outpouring, but it does also require the complete trusting of they who are to receive.

Our reliance upon one another is unquestionable. We are impelled into incarnation for the corporate will of Man decrees this so. Even though there becomes an individual merit and placement within the worldly field of being, there is an overwhelming attachment we have to the greater man who guides us in precedent. Because the archetypal man follows particular cosmic pathways through to repetitive incarnation, we by higher instinct, know the way to follow in progressive steps. The spiritual plotting of the charts has preceded our individual movements amongst the stars, for one reason that can be readily understood: that without a select guidance, inborn and innate, we would surely be lost to the countless other regions that we hold keys for but no relation to, at this point of time. Man has been limited in his travels, even though it appears that his opportunities are vast, the cosmic fields are innately cordoned and his spheres of activity are select and few.

The instance of a man wishing to cease from incarnating altogether has been questioned, asking if he is indeed obliged to return. For this we may first examine the suicide, who does at the extreme, by action and by idea, protest life, incarnation and the desire to further re-embody.

Oddly, as paradox would have it, he is firstly bound for a definite time to the one region that he sought to escape from. The ego who has defied his own instinct to express himself through earthly life is bound to the same, body or no. When comes the proper and designed time for the Angel of Death to receive him, he does find the same sweet peace as is then, and only then, in normal due. This parting experience secures the ordinary soul for the return journey. The man, whether tortured in life or after life in quasi-life, shall still be met with such an angel as does bring the supplication required to heal all pain.

The second instance of denying incarnation is that of the spiritually offended. Should the grass be reluctant to receive the burdensome weight of the dew-drop? Does the cow mistrust the sweetness of the dew-moist grass? Shall our gratitude fall into hapless suspicions and afeared outcomes?

A man may be split so that he ceases his manhood and becomes, in part, an entity which no longer rides the tide with humanity. However if this has been achieved by him - the cessation to incarnate - then it is not just a hesitation but a deprivation forever on. As to the retrieval of such souls, we cannot say- lost to systems and states, some divine and some demonic. All are still embraced by Father God and loved accordingly. Not all will remember who they are or what has passed.

So to answer that question in full, it is not just a simpleminded objection to incarnation that shall hold a man back from his destined pathway here. Yet if it does come to the bent of the ego and the spoil of his nature, having rid himself of all good earthly involvements and meaning, then it shall be as he declares for himself, eternally.

The disdain and recoil from the physical world is misplaced, insofar as it is innocent unto itself and naive to the frustrations of the spirit. We may coax ourselves into a greater compatibility - a harmonious health - if it is that we are welcoming to life itself and trusting to it.

The evils which thwart Man were not from the Earthly domain but rather from the spiritual worlds:

Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
For we are not contending against flesh and blood, but against Principalities, against the Powers, against the world rulers of this present darkness, against the spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.
Ephesians 6:11-12

So we may understand that where life meets life upon this plane, where life gives life and there enters God, there is goodness. When it comes to pass that we seek to withdraw, and no longer trust in this life that would sustain us then we withdraw from the experience of God also.

God is incarnate through our giving to one another. Likeness alone is not sufficient. The world itself could shaft away from its spiritual origins were it to be content upon itself, without the infilling presence of God. Man to man, upon this plane, does not satisfy the spirit or our God. All things within this world naturally concur amongst themselves, in those likenesses they share. Order, law and subsequent harmony come not from such likenesses in total but from intervention from the 'above' making possible the mix of greater differences.

We may take the physical example and employ the same principle within our spiritual needs. Our benefactors and our deliverers can meet with us at same station, at appointed time, feeding the need and bringing ease to the soul. Selflessness implies God. The sharing of self inspires God. It is with the love of a parent or same love of a child we can understand our relationship to God.

He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.
- Matthew 10:37

If father is set upon his child or child against mother as the Scripture implies (Matthew 10:34), it is because the father is no longer a true father, in God, or the daughter, a true daughter to the mother whom she is set upon. To love one another, before loving Christ, before loving God, is a self-love in likeness alone. To love Christ firstly and embrace God before that love of person, is to greet that person in the highest esteem, permitting a love that knows both likeness and difference. If love is to be based upon likeness only, then it stands to follow that arguments will sooner or later ensue. If love is to incorporate the Heavenly grace of a greater love than is consciously understood, then we may revere the person, by firstly revering our beloved God and Christ.

Each man who comes to us as representative of Christ in goodness, who by deed or by word has been touched with his active love, is an emissary of God that we must not turn away lest we offend Him. This is so.

The physical substance of mammal-milk today is imbued with properties to which all milk subscribes namely:

• fats (trust)

• sugars (joy)

• coagulants (stability) (within place)

• fluid (heavenly ego permeated with sacrifice, rejoicing life and life-giving) 
• imaginings (impressionable to dream-bearing, increases drowsiness in return to latent Father God).

Festival Celebration- 23rd June 1996

AMONGST the many who attended there, accompanied with them such wistful hope, barely recognized, yet present, that they be healed. The healing which is called for, the healing which is longed for, began for those present, collected in a humble grace, sequenced by the calling from the majority. Such gatherings are significant!

In trust the people look to the strongest lights amongst them, and when the joining of heavenly influence and immediate man has been achieved through these leading individuals, there is a grace which is peculiar to such a public event.

One of the strengths of the format was precisely because of the diversity of souls - the representation of need and of attitude rather than direct familiarity and therefore, commonality. Whilst it is true to say that organized gatherings of certain folk who are bound in work and with mutual karmic implications, also makes longterm a fixed impression of its own reality in being, it can be equally maintained in the broader delivery, that such a public pageant which brings together many who have not yet met before in that mix, also has a valuable purpose.

There is a distinction firstly between reason and cause, that all individuals who attended did so because of a hope and a curiosity which spoke within their higher being. This is important to note, as a gathering who assemble for sports, politics and the like, are motivated from the outset with an earthly-intended concentration in which the arrows, so to speak, are shot laterally only.

But all that Christ requires is an open heart, and when least expected, as often as is not, it is the Christian festivity which brings the healing; that with solemnity yes, but also with endeavor to create, rather than just receive. This creation of event, of designed yet improvised pageantry, is a beginning to communities to come. It is of this form of gathering which we will live out one day, in the reality of souls which combine in a township over many years.

Festival celebrations bring the best of people to each other; they make mix of the many varied notes of humankind in a way which encourages one another to be responsive to their immediate world.

However the importance here is borne in the very intention begun. Then in following through we find that the future itself is inspired to continue, that the garden planted today has now trees which will have a spiritual seed, literally speaking of course.

The value of true community is that the organization of Man is dependent upon its example. The physical laws are as intermixed upon the higher causations, yet again with an uncanny paradoxical play. Determinations are without sequence, that the many forces which conspire to make up the constitution of a man may be dependent upon some men proving their constitution in the world. That a body of men receive the heavenly influence and incur the heavenly order to that influence, portends then to the physiology of the whole of the remainder of men.

Not all the world need to change into such activities else the time should not come in time enough. This is so in evidence. However, should there become yet more perfect events and gatherings and happenings - and too, in numbers small but perfect also - then the remedial and creative forces may enter into this world and into all men because of such.

Without Christ present, being called upon in reverence, it is just as though the host himself were not present at the party. Men come together in shopping malls, they concentrate minds upon newspaper items collectively, they share mutuality in almost everything they do ... and this alone does not provide enough substance for a future. There is no drive which shall come from commonalty alone - 'sharing' on a mundane level is precisely mundane and without enduring substance.

When we exact ourselves in intention for Christ we have an effort which is not only empowered, but also is considerate. The element amongst the gathering which did stream in and around them was of consideration; and such an element brings of itself a great healing to those who are open to it, and then by the practicing of it.

Consideration is elemental to the Angelic kingdom. As men and women we receive such talents as offspring from the higher beings themselves, whose accompanying beings - their servants of thought, will, and desire - bring us their influence also. In this case, if you stop to consider for a moment what the word implies, we may welcome you to it (as it has been overlooked as virtue, and yet is most powerful and relevant to Man). 

The act of consideration is in the context of the holy compunction of a considerate being, one who is driven to act with care and carefully with love, with compassion, to slightest detail, placing others before self without first thought. Obliging, creating, performing, even listening with consideration, this and also the context of the act itself inwardly, allows the virtue of consideration to take place, that is in giving time to something without dismissal, without prejudgment, without aggravation, without intolerance. This is indeed the holiest of attitudes whereupon a man is not committed, but he does lend himself to that which begs his consideration and he is more enhanced because of it.

To take the time for something, particularly something which is not in the immediate reckoning (and this goes for the spiritual worlds and experience also) is difficult for most. Men rarely relax unto the influence of a true and proper considerate attitude. When the ego has accelerated its course and denied the possibilities which are offered it, there becomes a sclerosis of attitude which inhibits the holy encumbrance.

This terminology is given with a gentle humor, yet legitimately owned. For consideration has never been deemed an encumbrance by those who have known its compulsion and its drive, yet from this is the very substance of our future humanity! The same substance that gives the teacher his love for his pupil gives the stronger their compassion for the frail, because by it we are enlivened to the beauty of those things before us and their worthiness before God.

All forms and expression carry beauty which mirrors their origin and realization. All manifestation is remarkably of the divine spirit which cannot but help bear the beauty of such, intrinsic and whole ... Yet without consideration we are little more than bemused - we are deft in our acknowledgment, but not enlivened to the true reality.

Those who are impassioned on behalf of the forests and moved to protest their holocaust are inspired by their beauty more and more, and at the same time they care for the trees they should save. So in the caring itself they are awakened to ever more beauteous aspects, and are moved to care, moved to beauty, in a way which becomes more deeper and intense, and therefore more impassioned as well.

The true charm speaks to the man, whatever his involvements which promote his ongoing consideration. In this he may value - and truly value it is - something which to most appears only 'ordinary'; for they have not the keys in, won and worked for, which enables them to see as God Himself does love.

Creative worship is of itself sense-building, that the higher senses may incorporate that which was then experienced. Not all sound is same sound in relation to the effect upon our sense of hearing and its higher correspondent. For just as only some sounds ever reach through to our consciousness to be acknowledged, our sense of 'higher hearing' shall only take in the holy note, which is given in and by the spirit of those who have transmuted the physical expression of song into contest.

Prayers contest the world; as do prayerful songs. Prayerful songs appease the higher ear and please the spirit who is then well reminded of those cosmic lullabies in which it was first raised.

Song, in point of fact, is spirit-speak. Although this world is our beloved world and precious to us, there are many corruptions which we do contest by way of our higher strivings. This contest itself will one day set all aright and to order. It is a muscle flex to be welcomed, proving worth against worth, bringing strength to make a strength.

The breaking of bread in His name feeds the higher self also. Once again the sense reality has a higher transfiguration, and the future organization of Man is implicated also.

When men are to cease from movement and be still together; and then in obliging accordance are to make move (in dance, in procession, or pebble walk) we have a consideration given to the whole. The attention of all is orchestrated within that time in that group, and by such, when coupled with a higher motivation, relates to the sense of movement and our very relation to the world, as spirit rides in upon the wave of its fleshy embankment.

So with the corporate intention we have lent ourselves to, for a short time the workings come inward individually and then pass out into further implications for the organization of Man.

Were a wood fire to have been lit, then the fragrance of that nature would reach the higher sense also. Similarly, in subtle reach, the sea air and flower patch infills the higher sensibilities as well. For in Christ we are enhanced.. by Christ we are made known. We invite Him on behalf of ourselves, but that He come for all others, and in this we have new life laid down in root beginnings.

Let Love to Live

By mercy His hand took my palm,
And led me to the love that was yours,
Through eyes of care I’ve seen my own,
By the Grace of love I’ve lived outworn.

From soul to soul His love does pass;
I’ve felt His Breath and held His grasp,
And now I wait again for Him,
Be here for me new life begin.

And I for you will always be,
With patience care considerately,
As angel, as patron as lover does love,
All the time that you need I shall give you dear God.

For surely it is that all time is of yours,
And the life that we live is the life you adore,
And the strength that is strong is the strength you have won,
Please let love to live, that our futures be born.

The Anti-Christ- 1st June1996

THERE used to be a test, a competition held for would-be initiates where there were a great many hearts held out upon platters and one was to be chosen, to be then kissed reverently. The hearts came from a variety of beasts and were of various sizes; whilst as well there were some which were just portions thereof. This was a ceremonial gesture of importance. This was to prove the discrimination of the man who had the choice to know.

Not one of them did ever come from a human; that is, of those which were laid out and presented upon a dish ... and should the student have gone to any one of the people who watched on and gave them his first choice and his kiss - they with the living heart, not incised nor exorcised - this friend was then proven well placed within this order.

Lessons and exercises are seldom confined to one plane of application, and in spiritual definition are never to be held as physically literal alone. The spirituality of any substance belongs firstly to its realm. Whether or not it is caught in amongst the lower ethers or the physicality which seeks to call it down, it does primarily begin and end and hold relevance in higher worlds.

Therefore we cannot divorce these worlds and speak only upon physical terms when the higher worlds are relevant. The physical sciences may be confined to study and document the physical factors regardless of the immeasurable and unseen. Whilst this is limited (and postulations do not have spiritual orientation) it is qualified upon the level that it investigates to a point. (That point being the physical perimeter of course.)

But then when we come to the thinking involved within the spiritual sciences where it is that our testing and weighing is amongst the non-apparent or seemingly-apparent (from a physical standpoint that is). Then we acknowledge that our processes cannot afford to be so fixed to any one level, but that we are required to move with a fluidity which eases in and out of the prima to the child so born, and by way of the imaginative comprehension whereupon quite often we are called to make improvise.

The lesson of the heart was not one in which the object was to make the student appear foolish. It was not a gentle joke with a lesson that was merely symbolic. It was not a physical test of anatomy, as to what lay before them quite obviously upon the plate presented. It was not a question of them complying with what they thought they were being asked to do.

Firstly, we do not recommend this as a teaching example or workshop activity to be used, however, the point from it is good enough and so we begin by the mention ... although, admittedly, some of the drama has gone from the exercise (you really would have had to have been there, as they say). The students were most serious about this and every other matter. They have prepared for the inauguration during pending lifetimes. Their characters are defined yet given, their resolution is clear, their love is almost complete.

This schooling in the past has been known by some of our students we address today who have not the same shelter which was provided before. They have returned to the world a'further. But some of you would know the old ways well.

Out-numbering our numbers were the ones who did not require that their students developed their own thinking. Contrariwise, for reasons both wonderful and sinister, it was discouraged to the point where the student would disown their own ego for that of their teachers lest they should be discharged from their lot. Our empathy is that we are Christian Christians according to Christ. In no other school is this free thinking permitted or advised. Whether archaic or progressive, let the question be: "Are the students required to retain and develop their own egos?"

The student is not above the master, nor qualified as an equal in what there is to be learnt, else the master would not be the master in this instance. However, the master may in no ways dominate the student into a conciliatory agreement, for this will only damage and weaken the ego of the up and coming soul developing so. The schools of Anti-Christ mark a man thus.

All men bear Christ within their imprint already, and were they to develop most naturally, then it is of consequence that they shall emanate the resplendence of Christ's own Nature and be just like Him. This is the paradox of the gift of ego. Its character in maturation is ordained - implying also that those egos which are not holy will not go on to further existence.

So when a being seeks to change not only the hearts of men but their egohood as well, it is to corrupt the path he has been given and make an alteration which will bear its signature instead. To do this it is then required that the souls who fall under them are willingly obedient and obligingly submissive to the point where they will forfeit themselves for that which they believe to be higher and worthier. Yet there is no trade, no equal trade, for in this the exchange is of soul also, soul to false god who has marked the ego for his own.

The question was: "Does the Anti-Christ know that he is not the Christ?" The very remedy lies in its opposing point: "Do men know that they are indeed the Christ?”, for should they come to know this well then all of the glamor of the Anti-Christ would fall away as but dust and filth, for imitation may well be a flattery, but with no proper substance within it, it is but a dangerous deception.

Yes he knows that he is not our Christ; he well knows what it is that he is not. He has not the stretch of joy that spreads the stars. He is irritated by the rosy aureole of the morning and the playfulness which extends the etheric fields. He is even dubious about love's freedoms making it ever stronger, for he is not compelled in the way of men; his strength builds upon itself, working to an invert law, one which the souls of Man could not survive upon.

The Anti-Christ holds to a false-glamor in everything - appearance is everything! (Remember that.) This is why we begin in the example of the hearts - look and look again, and then look to the hidden as well! For in the Anti-Christ he is singular, singular in level and in placement, for he would not want men to delve into inner truth, he would rather that they are caught in the fancies and seductions of the material world alone, and by such it can happen that they shall deny their Christ within and thereby deny Him also.

He isolates and then attacks. When men cease to commune with other like souls, they leave themselves also. Christ brings us to Him, and to our knowledge of our own selves through others. Selflessness in this true sense (not selflessness for gain of a greater ego superimposed upon our own) is there that we shall have the support of each other's Christ qualities as well - those which will lead us into manhood fully pronounced and glorious, one to be defended and to be guarded as the most precious gift of Him as well as of self….and to know God.
