Working Around It- 31st December 1999

THE second part to the philosopher's story of the elephant (if you remember my dears, it is the one where each man has a differing perspective from his brother about his view of the very same elephant) is about what the philosophers actually did with their elephant-in-residence once it had settled in to stay.

This question was more perplexing than the first, until they had all arrived at the resignation of:

"Well, I guess we'll just have to work around it."

Sometimes, in some conditions, that really does become the only answer to a problem of something so hugely immovable and difficult to manage, one that we sorely wished did not present itself to us, but remains with us nonetheless. We simply have to work around it. Planetarily the Moon itself is such an object… and, for that matter, so is Mars! 

When the one hundred and forty four thousand battalions of daemon war-carriers flew in on the skirts of the one hundred and forty-four thousand Bodhisattvas, who assemble as we speak … what was it that was said?

"We'll just have to work around it."

• When the cure itself invites yet another medusa-head of the same disease;

• when the elements love us with a such a virulence that it becomes a violence;

• when the most splendid of miracles have just occurred but unfortunately pass unperceived;

• when difficulties seem to relent only to yet greater encumbrances - even though Grace is with us, silently present, at all the awkward times…

• When dictators dream and zealously "believe in themselves";

• when men seized with mind-fatigue refire their insanities with the same self-belief;

• when humility is pushed aside to make way for the author that so inspired that dictator and that madman …

• Then, when good men get waylaid into topsy-turvy dilemmas of self-doubt;

• when the young are children no longer, and the babes become old at the breast;

• when 'hospitality' becomes synonymous with services paid for and received, and 'charity' is perceived as that which is only tax-deductible;

• when kindness is mistaken for weakness;

• when harshness is considered a strength …

• When Beezlebub farts and the whole world is shadowed in yet one more gloomy episode…

WELL! I GUESS WE'LL JUST HAVE TO WORK AROUND THAT ONE!

Presently many are sensing the difficulties which may or may not come to pass ever. But they live on in our thoughts, in our fears and in possibility. They are therefore with some substance, even though not manifest.

Regardless of their eventuation they are there to be experienced as tensions which threaten and provoke disturbingly. It is very much as though the entire emphasis of being has now shifted into an uncertainty, a cankerous uncertainty, which freezes the will and retards the reasoning.

Existence is so precious to us because we know that all existence is truly love manifest. Father God is most active and present through the Creation as made apparent through His Son. The Joy of Christ and His Vision is also known to each of us most clearly throughout all life as it is experienced by us, here in this World, in this moment.

There is not one true pleasure that He is not a part of. A collaboration with Life is a union with Him and with that happiness. The Heavenly Community, according to His Way, is exuberant with Goodwill. Men are loved and cherished – as are all creatures, all beings, all Life. The bounty of such joy and happiness is there for them.

Although we may submit graciously to suffering, it is neither the plan nor the desire of the Heavens that we should be so anguished or forlorn. Not for the sake of a 'lesson' or a pledge, not on behalf of justice, should we become pitiable or poor, lonely or diseased, heartbroken, hapless and destitute, depressed, deprecating or desisting from Life.

There is but one issue and one alone, and that is of severance from Him. The further away we become from our Father God the less life we may know. And for this He is pained when we are inwardly distant - distrustful of our Creator and disobedient to our Father's Love.

Mortality within the physical world is a fact. The exchanging of particles is the formula to life as it is understood within this sphere. We watch new life flood in greedily, spilling into those spaces which have just desisted from them but a former being. This is not true to Cosmic interaction, however within this world everything in Nature necessarily pushes with an eagerness into being and then falls apart, dissipating largely because the greater forces are compelling their presence elsewhere.

Here we are represented only partially and temporarily at present - and we know this. We sense the mutability around us, even though all appears most naturally inert. And we sense the limit to the time we shall have and it is difficult to find equanimity here because the life that we know brings us so much holiness and spiritual joy. Yet every good thing that we savor here in this World shall be known to us further too. There is not one joy that He would take from us, not one. 

When we are gripped with that excitement within that says there is yet so much to do and to become, that too does travel with us and seeds many future events. Anticipation is magical - not only is it provocative, but also works as a creative covenant with Father God. Our desires are honored always, providing they are in accordance with the path of Life and not of the path of Death.

This precious time is importantly, one for great hoping, and many more desires, for good visions that will have a holy and prosperous outcome, for eager imaginations, courageous inspirations, for an admiration of Creation and the marvels it comprises.

In consequence to the philosophers having to work around their beloved elephant, they did in turn, each get to enjoy many views of the afore argued creature. So there was a double benefit to their application, even though they had quite forgotten their original insults to one other, when first contesting his appearance. The problem of him being there had surpassed the problem of how he presented and who was correct in their description of him. Elephants can be dangerous. They can be bad tempered when angered or confused, or plainly cumbersome and risky to be around. This too needed to be managed quite thoughtfully, with constant care and ongoing appraisal.

Beloved Christ,
Be here with us
On the eve of the end
Of this Piscean period.

May we look to the starry gateways within,
And find your compassionate wisdoms,
Which will bring forth from the World,
The Humanity first bestowed,
The Kingdom of being,
And the Kindred of Angelic Comprise.

Let each man and woman
Sense their own divinity,
And that of all others,
With passion, love and creativity,
That resonates so jubilantly,
Amongst the greater Life,
Now present and forever to be with us,
Amen

The Mothering Earth- 20th October 1999

THERE is a general assumption given to earthquake activity, tornadoes, volcanoes, and subsequent other extreme events (such as tidal waves) in which the environment is disturbed to the point of devastation … there is an assumption which says that these physical catastrophes are a response from the Planet herself to the conditions Man has imposed upon her delicate ecology, be it physically or spiritually.

Firstly, it should be said that at all times the Mothering Earth does love her children, and nothing changes in this.

If one were to measure the 'negative' thought and calamitous behavior felt and known in the spiritual spheres adjoining the physical here, they would understand that we are, in point of fact, most greatly improved today, from the human view (as far as the input of Men is concerned); though the tensions which manifest through the demonic community are much the same as they have been for many Moons. ('Many Moons' is a great esoteric phrase allowing for many incarnations of a planet and its deceased remnants after the fact.) 

So spiritually, in the thought world or in the astral membrane, one can happily suggest that although negativity does collect and compound over time, it is not so much greater than has been tolerated and dealt with in previous eras (i.e. a century or two ago, for example).


Physically it is true to say that there have been insidious corruptions - the most sinister involving the cross-kingdom practices which cause disassociation between the life-giving properties and the realms affected, being forced to participate. This, and even the chemical/aerial diseases (for the time being) are not so significant as to be the cause of earth renderings.

As to the magnetic influences given by planetary positionings, yes they do assist in certain changes which are effected, but are not in themselves a cause of any happenings - just as astro-logically there are influences offering differing virtues, and yet our reception of these influences is governed primarily by that one stellar body, which comprises ourselves.

Picture a whale which is overjoyed to meet with you, coming right towards you in glee. Now having pictured this, you have the just the beginning notion (with this whale within the ocean, and the motion of the ocean) of an earthquake and its in-tensions in this activity of great calamity. When she shudders and splits and moves so - exposing cavities and new ravines - it is with an excited love that has awakened the sleeping body that rumbles so.

When the spirits within the air gather force enough to sweep the horizons with such whirling speeds that lift up the ground beneath, it is with the exaggerated voracity of consciousness - a deliberate action of self exclamation, with newfound excitement. For us such excitement is dangerous, yes, but the storms mean us no harm, and neither do any of the elements (and their beings) wish to cause the havoc that inevitably follows after their exuberance.

Christ's own consciousness is bent upon us and gazing now back into His World … and His World is looking back. When she feels His Mind upon her she is greatly made happy and becomes, in very quick instances, much excited. Rocks will leap, rivers will swell, clouds will race - because of a heightened activity, because of a newfound exuberance borne upon this enlivening coming from Him.

Diseases too will flourish, just as all things will become MORE. So too will the capabilities and possibilities flood into the very deserts of want.

We must do all that we can to care for the folk who are dislocated from the lives they have formerly known, because of the changes which will come. However, in our own thinking upon these matters it becomes a kindness to all to realize that the elemental forces and the Earth Herself are not displaying political statements against the community of Man upon the Globe. They are just powerful cohabitants and benefactors which presently cannot maintain their own strength for the while.

Man's problems will be assisted by the receiving of Christ's influence into the etheric, into the matter, and into our own hearts and minds within.

It is prudent for us not to add to the misfortune of these times by attaching a paranoid mistrust of the very system which does support and sustain us, and loves us so well.
Amen

Chymicalia- 6th October 1999

THERE are times of great influx whereupon the spirit-beings of incarnatees rush fervently hither-thither searching for some opening - almost frantic, sometimes with reprisal, ever hopeful. The driving force to be born into this world propels their desire yet further. As it is right now, there is a clamoring for entrance (en-trance: also an apt word in relation to the present day consciousness: within this world the spiritual becomes subject to, in part).

Would that this hasty eagerness could infect the egoic knowing and the heart’s determining; and that all thoughts given to Mind were of Christ and of His Becoming.

This era is both volatile and giving. Just as the seeds of men will plant themselves wherever they can, so also will the divinities make their call, seeking out those responsive enough to receive their most intimate of wisdoms. The World is stretching and straining. The complexities are not merely physical, nor even of themselves, most fixable.

The Rosicrucian Temple exists 'out of Time'. It was initiated as such, so that the pilgrim could always return regardless of the calamities which beset his efforts in and out of current fixations. This is why they go on to exist presently and still remain accessible, (as one of the key symbols does imply). TIME.

Chymicalia involves a process which when effected properly (with both inner and outer conditions in compliance) there is a happening. Prior training and knowledge shall equip the pilgrim in the process, but are not of themselves the process made active. You may know the engine's components, you may hold the license to drive, but the process of this animation is involved in the combined actions of this actually happening. You've got the car, you've got the road, you've got the fuel, you've got the key, you've got the theory, you have possibility. (You have a passenger also, and a picnic lunch.)

We have watched worlds be born and die. The layers of this planet still recollect such events, and as the most humbling of stepping stones you can walk from sphere to sphere out into the Moon through a different kind of death-camp of spiritual refugees, where the vanquished souls of dismembered men await for a return that will not be permitted. 

There are beings with luster (the phosphorescence of an all-giving love) and then there are beings of just lust (demented with want, cold entities, imported mercenaries, sinewy and ragged, bloodless and bony). Radiant Angeloi are unperturbed by the grotesque frolics of their contending foe. The Heavens are TAUT with such competing forces.

Man is sensitive, so sensitive, to the arguing that occurs about him. This is not often to be pondered upon, but made mention of here in relation to the Crusades and their higher purpose. When the spiritual man ventures out into the reaches he needs be strong enough within his faith to withstand these arguments and tensions and strife. And yes, look within as well. Be always vigilant: knowing WHO and WHAT to trust, and what NOT to lend yourself to.

The crucible is guarded. The crucible is HOLY. No artifact could equal its prized value. It requires a true man to infuse it with his giving. 

Through process there can become actuality. KNOWLEDGE couples with his handmaiden, WISDOM. And the two must be given to such a process in the crucible that will ever after bring about substantiation to their fragile beings.

The King and the Queen may then be crowned, and Life goes on.

All Roads Lead Home- 10th August 1999

- a question of health & of healing

SUBTERRANEAN to etheric life are the forces, magnetic forces, which are characteristically manipulated by the healers (such as with Reiki) - the somnambulistic healing, which is uncognized by author and recipient, yet catalytic to certain change.

All systems within the one organized body of Man have both accessible knowledge and memory as to their ordained perfunctory quotas. The organs, their tissue, their bloods, their fibrous membranes supporting, all understand cohesion, form and cooperation. Rejuvenation is often sparked into manifesting by the 'jumpstart' methods of these magnetic impulses. It is possible for the astral/physical complements to become renewed simply by the action of their own recall, returning to the condition of such times as were exemplary to their design and purpose.

Curative forces can be employed in various stages of life:

PHYSICAL

1. Apothecial/medicinal specifics
2. Rhythmically, percussively reaffirming
3. Nourishingly
   

ETHERIC

1. Homeopathically
2. Prayerfully
3. Nourishment
   

ELECTRO/MAGNETIC

1. Lower Astral thought-forms
2. Sexual forces (astral only)
3. Directional (willed by another)
   

ETHERIZED PHYSICAL

1. By Christ
2. Virtue imbibed
3. Procreatively
   

EGOIC TRANSVERGENCE- The Holy Spirit's action

1. Inspiring reimbodiment
2. Impelling life
3. Invigorating the 'I'
4. Aiding the self-discriminatory processes of 'sorting out'

The Physical

Physical remedies which are specific emetics or stimulants can beg physical responses within a reasonable range of predictability. A laxative or a bindary can effectively coax the bulk in the bowel, extreme heat will induce sweating, and extreme coldness can inhibit swelling. There can be physical consequence with etheric implications, however the perimeters are largely assessable and not dependent upon any supernatural intervening to effect a supernatural renewal.

Percussive effort in repetitive exercise or simply in repeated movements, brings consciousness into the awakening body. We 'connect' as it were, with the body itself, by such repetition.

If a baby is rocked the very motion will loosen their consciousness from their body and sleep will ensue. Yet if an adult rocks their own body rhythmically they will awaken that body to a further awareness of the ego within; and at the same time, reaffirm their incarnating aspects within the physical existence, bonding better, melding the fluids with the tissue, strengthening the station at all points.

Nourishment is distinct from a specific short-term remedy such is medicine. It is an ongoing goodness (whereas also many remedies are invocative of stimulating substances that are not sustaining but moreover are aggravations, for example).

Nourishment is curative to an otherwise debilitating waning and is characterized by the physical substances offering (on this level) corresponding elements to contribute to the 'dance of particles' as some recede into periods of rest (they do not vacate or expire with permanent cessation), and others are brought back into maintaining a presence. Sustenance 'calls' the cell back into being.

The Etheric

Homoeopathy works out from that first period of life here within the Globe which was then purely etheric in composition - that condition before becoming arraigned by physical splendor. Here we find the deep memory composite to life, inherent to the beings which total themselves within form. The physical substance is given up to its supporting vitality - still very much instilled in character, yet reverting back to the 'innocence' experienced pre-materialization. 

Therefore in this process we strip the substance back to reveal its parent powers, and once obtained and captivated in the waters (of a given remedy) this 'pure' substance appeals to the cause of aggravation within the man. You see, we treat a poison's host of complaints with a poison from said time when no element of the Etheric World was hazardous to Man. The corrupted version may impinge upon his organism, or his organism may replicate symptoms corresponding to that corruption in the world (or as part of his own nature), however, it will be the true 'heritage' species intactus that can heal and put right the perversion of itself prone to weaknesses in the physical.

Prayer can predispose both the healer and the recipient to the etheric properties as 'lent' to us by our angelic sponsors. Much of our physical constitution is glued together by the plasmic essences of angelic bi-manifestation. Although angels themselves do not have respective physicality (other than by vaporizing) given to expression through other variable impressionable compounds, they do by their very charity and love for each individual man, surrender portions of their own life's manifesting (on the etheric level) giving them over to our own using.

Not only do these plasmas help to incorporate their natures into that of our own ongoing evolutionary journey, they also bring the grace of delivering life through means we may tolerate and regulate. They are susceptible to impulses which are more highly enlivened than we ordinarily know how to transmute, and they bring us also our sensory interpretations, for example, by communicating with the various beings of sound, of light, of thought and with the required congeniality for such transference.

Prayer can instantly help to affix their presence (apart from also appealing to far higher sources for assistance as well).

Etheric nourishment actually feeds us from Love. When we eat, and the etheric forces are brought to us, we are nourished and live because of the love itself that the plant has for us apparent in those forces - that being its greater life-giving property for us. Likewise there can be a sustaining fulfillment from the love a garden has for its keeper, the love a son draws from his mother (soul to soul - any love does nurture and infill). Foremostly it is the love of Christ which is that chief influence manifest in all etheric life and its life-giving properties.

Electromagnetic Healings

Lower astral thought-forms can be persuaded to endow an individual therapeutically in that they can convey remedial hostages of imported thought. A man's vitality or general wellbeing may become weakened by such ideas living in the ethers around him, which denigrate him. Whether they are of his own contrivance or of another's, the consequence of such attacking thought-forms usually results in a poor receptivity to that love which would otherwise etherically nourish him (from other sources).

It need not be a verbal criticism to aggravate the individual; any thought which carries so much as a doubt shall effectively strangle and violate some part of their constitution somewhere, if only momentarily.

However it is the nature of thought-forms to be persistent and live also in echo, prolonging the denigration. Similarly also, good thought-forms of a positive nature can be incorporated and challenging to any other that might otherwise cause hindrance and possibly disease by their assuming negativity.

Sexual forces astrally live on, having been imparted to the fetus by both the mother and the father, continuing throughout his life to be. These forces are deeply connected with those properties of impelling desire, and although can be utilized with but a mundane propriety, are utmostly holy in both origin and attribute.

Desires are intrinsic to a consciousness that yearns for expansiveness - for more - for that which it has not. If it were not for the desire as known by Heaven we would not have become apparent (or 'a parent' ☺) - being born out from that one holy desire to perceive and feel and know life through us.

The sexual forces offer a divine correspondence between that desire and the life love brings, creating yet further desire and so forth. From soul to soul there needs be a signatory qualification (unlike the animals, but in similar terms insofar as animals cannot combine outside their own signatory species) which transmutes these forces into yet higher incorporations.

Although the moon-consciousness conducted radical healings through impersonal means, whereby this element was employed, it is now but a cause of death and sickness if the coupling is without the merit of the higher love within the act. One will not naturally invoke the other as it has done in the past. However, by those unions which are considerate to each other there becomes a health and healing in the very process.

Directional and willed astral healing falls into the category mentioned in the opening paragraphs. These magnetic persuasions are not to be confused (though often are mistaken for) actual 'life' or ethericism. The astral forces are deceased by their ongoing nature of the past being held and repeated ... their sublimation within the healing processes is largely chaotic and often the very cause of deformities such as cancerous inclusions, because of the parasitical nature the lower astralities possess.

If the healer believes that he may invoke or manipulate the forces pertaining to the higher starry domains, then he may be experiencing their starlight mirrored upon the waters of his own self. However, the actual idea of willfully directing these higher powers is tantamount to a fish wishing to own its own barbecue - something he can't achieve under the water, and won't live to see above the water (unless fried, and even then he shan't be able to live and experience it at the same time also).

The Etherized Physical

As Christ Himself becomes livingly enveloped within the physical substances, we shall find in consequence that matter shall achieve its own permanency - it will hold the power to remain, rather than desist and corrupt as it does do today.

As we endeavor to incorporate the living present day Christ into our own being, His Life literally begins renewal upon that matter which does comprise ourselves. In this (though a slower process than most would realize) the notion of the resurrected body is most true in action and in consequence.

Virtues saturating our etheric demeanor enable our bodies to correspondingly begin this process of the resurrection of matter. Not only do we redeem ourselves spiritually, but we rework and makeover creatively that substance and anima which does so lovingly cleave to us.

Procreation: in terms of this world, the mineral kingdom procreates itself with the lesser gods who chose to bring their favors into the earth, conjoining with the devas who remain attracted to their organic composts made fertile to the crystalline force.

In the Kingdom of Nature procreation is not second-nature but first-nature as an expression of untamed Love. In Man, whereupon the consummation is cordially conducted ego to ego (as well as being respective to the astral/higher astral/etheric impulses) we find that forces of procreation offer the world a relaxed and plastic expression of being, and this in turn allows the very procreative forces to transmute the life before them, furthering that expression of life as they go.

What we may examine here is that any act of divine mutuality brings new life into the world (and it may or may not be incorporated in the physical marriage of two, but rather in the more esoteric of meanings, relates to the divine unions as culminating in the expression of true creativity performed).

Egoic Transvergence

The Holy Spirit empowers that necessary surge which breaks open our way into this world from the very beginning. One may well presume that the intensity of such an effort could not be achieved merely by the power of our own will and want. It is indeed only by the drive and fire of our divine and blessed Holy Spirit that we are so rapidly delivered from one world into the next: from sleep into waking, from death, birth, and then death.

Underpinning the life of the Etheric world is the supreme life force of the Divine and Holy Spirit. Not only does the Holy Spirit impel all life therefore, it does also hold a key action within the 'I' of Man, invigorating the power and presence of all self-consciousness. There is no quicker concurrence than between self and self, and the empowerment to this speedy activity of self revelation is again, our 'Life behind all life' - the Holy Spirit. (Just as our dear Christ is the veritable 'Light behind the light', the Holy Spirit is the 'Life behind all life'.)

The sorting out:
Here we come to that part in our therapeutic index which does attempt to deal with the question concerning irregularities experienced, often caused by the very healing brought about by the fiery action of the Spirit within, as it reignites the powers of the ego and seeks to re-establish its presence within the fraying body without.

At the heart of this form of healing (as differentiated from the others listed above) is the ennobling of the individual concerned, for the individual that he is, in all that that means. It would be a contradiction of terms to expect that at this primal level the healer himself can effect the transformation, rather than the patient himself. Remotely other practices may affect the causal body and so enliven it, but in this instance we are managing to re-introduce life in its rawest of vitalities to an ego which is flaccid and poorly and needs be self stimulated from the inside, rather than by exterial means from another.

Death to the ego of a man also denotes death to his soul as well. Above any other physical ailment the sickness of the ego itself is alone much more remarkably sinister and tragic. As an affliction it is evident that the 'I' of Man is very much in need of some serious healing. Usually the ideas surrounding the ego of present day Man indicate terms of development or of deep wanting, yet we would suggest that further to this are problems of a serious order - observable maladies that are not of themselves given to improvement as they currently are.

A healthy ego, for example, would and could endorse our Christ - if not by the immediate perception and language, it could still embrace Him in all that represents Him and honor that well. Even the immature ego of an underling comprehends and discriminates those influences outside of his own which bear beneficence or harbor some malevolence, depending; but not so in many a man today.

Sadly there is a growing evidence of a further forfeiture of selfhood, manhood and even that of universal being. Our community is dispersed with tensions that cause great difficulties within the minds of most. There are psychic afflictions, physiological assaults, and an assortment of individuals, half whom act as egoic terrorists to the other half who are forever in question of their own capability and of Christ's.

When an individual has suffered a chronic condition which is most suddenly altered in pattern from that which they have come to know and expect, and when that condition has been effected by a healing which has worked through the very Holy Spirit within that individual and brought about such changes, igniting yet further life and enlivening their being because, there will be a fresh start offered to their egoic condition, and their 'i' will become yet an 'I' - upstanding, tactile, and once again strong enough to execute the arterial desires where needed.

It is natural at such a time for a 'healing crisis' to occur concurrently as an act of a tenant reclaiming his home; the unwanted lodgers are to be thrown out from the body. The ego itself believes itself strong enough to take on the unwanted influences, whatever they be, however they are manifesting in the shadows or stubbornly protest.

Subsequent to this, when a man reclaims himself in this way there will be such sorting out to deal with, not only within his physical health, but also in relation to the many facets of his active life. It is a time to readdress all of that which has formerly impinged upon the selfhood, but hitherto was not stood up to and abandoned.

Death is not the worst consequence of illness. In many instances death resolves problems that would otherwise (on many levels) pursue an individual into a greater grief, would that they persisted in those ways they appear to be so locked down in. Although we do not condone death in any fashion, reasonably the healer may look to their dear subject and incorporate within his thinking that it may well be the ego which he seeks firstly to deliver to the man, before that of the resurrected body. The resurrected body will eventually come of itself, given that the man can retain his ego and work it through to the service of Christ - yet this cannot be effected if his ego itself does not remain intact. 

So when we look to the health and healing of any individual before us, we are mindful that our prayers and concerns for them pertain to what it may be that they mostly do need. It is a matter of true priority, and even though quite sadly we cannot hasten a full recovery in every way on every level within just one soul's constitution, we can help them to begin on the very pathway that will eventually restore them so.

It is a good work, and truly a most profitable one. The next paper shall deal with the issues concerning the protection and wellbeing of the healer himself.

God bless you Dears...
