Space, & Memory Impressions- 23rd August 1993

THE question as to the convolutions of space and the perceived sphere, has good value for the consideration of perception and its relationship to actuality; and furthermore, complementary accentuates within actuality. The question was: When globes appear as rounded spheres is it because they are as they appear, or is it because the distance between contorts all mass as an elliptical horizon?

Plainly we may answer, that there are a variety of realities for any given spirit manifested - numerous expressions concurrently being. The planet, this planet, is an enspirited identity who is clothed in a mass which is more fluid overall than it appears. It is not however, her only expression; whilst also, on higher levels related to her 'body', we find that the orb is extended, leaving the surface as we know it, to be at the heart, in the center, of the greater globe.

The argument which suggests contortions in/of space may be set to anything, is in that sense, irrelevant. For truly things are not as they appear; however how they appear on the face of it, rests on many factors, all of which play their part in making them appear so. Do you get it? Nothing is what it seems!

***

The talismanic properties bestowed within the impressionable article are to be valued and discerned where possible, particularly with those things which are 'attached' to our persons. It has been advised (and we shall remind) of the importance of shedding one’s street clothes when home, in preference for those which remain in the house and only worn amongst those that you may feel entirely at ease with. For emanations, as with odor, are lasting and contaminating; especially to those sensitive individuals who are embattled in daily resisting, aware and uncomfortable with impinging influences.

It is not necessary to make a fetish out of the practices of cleanliness, we are rather reminded that quite often the source of debilitation may be very close to us and easily remedied. One would not happily wear the shoe that becomes ensheathed in dog droppings - nor should one go about the house in street clothes either. Also too, it becomes advisable to house the closet outside of the sleeping room, and those articles which maybe subtly impressed with undesirable permeations.

Men are just beginning to realize something of the wonderful properties various emanations may give over. Intangibly and profoundly, there are grades of etheric radiances which emanate from all things living, imparting characteristics of those forces particular to them and of their formation.

Just to be near a fruit may offer a man, by emanation, by etheric radiance, an influence according to the nature and substance of that fruit. Thus the bowl of fruit and of course, the flowers to be given to the ill or infirm, in particular. Whether the fruit is eaten and digested may not be the point at all, it is of great benefit just having such liveliness in close proximity to he or she to whom it is given.

Added to this there is beginning to be a concerned awareness of radiations emitted and other such arrays of contaminants as do seep and bleed from artificial resins. If this is to be comprehended in part, then it is possible for men to regard every article before them, respecting that all substance holds memory and continually releases from it that which it knows. (This goes for ghosts also: disenspirited shells, the kind that recap the old stories over and over.)

Matter needs have provision for memory, for it is memory that binds the matter to its original form. The lesser aspect of this law is that the material concerned shall always be a little impressionable, so that the substance receives and imparts qualities as it does know, as exposed to from a radius commensurate to its own aura of emanation.

There has been much talk of 'cleansing' material - viz. the heirloom jewelry - in the instance of there being such unwelcome radiations, perhaps not even of the former person, but rather of their circumstances. This cleansing may be effected by exposing the article to days and weeks of sunlight, whereby its memory will not be totally erased, but rather significantly quietened from a point of view of emitting the said influences.

Conversely, there have been articles of supreme significance, venerated because of their associated histories; and marvelous songs they sing as actual testimonies, as banks of especial memory, imparting.

We collect and gather mementos by way of surrounding ourselves with memories. In this sense the ego of an individual may well identify with all of that which he has taken to possess, because he begins to interpret his being by way of the object's impression of him and the circumstances of which it did come to him. Havingness is rooted in beinglessness, that our aspects of self are apportioned to those belongings we seek to identify with.

Certain symbols belong to a family of memory: that which brought that symbol together in the first place, and too in sympathetic connection to its identical representatives. There becomes a definite code within each one, and the simpler the diagram, the more powerful, potent and pronounced the inherent characteristic-property will be.

Returning to the subject of jewelry: gems have a memory which actually recalls that time when lesser Gods would stride the Earth and deity called them into a fire of evolution, fusing the elements they were born from with aspects of a realized divinity. The 'sleepers', these precious stones, are a living tribute to matter which has been so touched by divinity. Not only as representative, not by look-alike, but in being the crystal kingdom, has redeemed all minerals, by example of living coherent perfection. The minerals of this planet are harvested from a multitude of differing fields, some have been brought in from the farthest corner, aloft a wayward meteor, some/most are received sympathetically from sister stations related to the constituent directly.

Then there is that material of which we have long carried with us from a former globe, impervious to change, too stubborn to disseminate: the 'either-ores' as affectionately termed. (Salts.)

All of these related minerals are prone to consolidation unto their own and are given to argument with one another, having specific tendencies and natures very individual to their families. Islands and ravines, shafts, notches, plateaus and veins - the minerals would choose to be separate were it not for Man and God. When Man forges the uncompliant mineral to associate within an alloy and bring its particular strength into that bonded fusion, he is outwardly effecting what God has detailed within, remarkably. And it was by the advancement of the crystals that this was to be achieved within the physiology of Man.

We may offend our inner ecology if we attempt to introduce deluges of unrefined mineral. The animals do not share our difficulties in this, it is quite possible for a dog to ingest much lead, for example, and excrete it without undue absorption or argument within. However a man has a system attuned to soul and sensibility which affords much more subtle activity to house everything which is conductive to becoming a man. A dog will not draw upon similar needs and because his constitution is incapable of scrutiny with definition, he shall happily pass the same material that may poison or waylay a man at any stage of consumption or exposure.

Eventually men shall acquire the abilities necessary to be able to discriminate substances before ingesting them, and this may apply not only to mineral constituent and its variety but also to affectation. For we may resume upon the line of thought which began with memory-emanations- such is the same for foodstuffs, particularly those which are altered in preparation, in cooking. The hand of the chef and his emanations - his aspects as pronounced at the time of the actual preparation - shall make a discernible difference to the meal consumed.

Thus too, we make impact upon the world at large and are ever reminded that exactly what we exhibit becomes permanent testimony to what we have been. Therefore we must pray to live graciously and offend as little as possible, and give out exactly what we should like to become and be given.

Amen

The Physicality of the Elder Brothers- 13th August 1993

THERE are two types of entities: invasive and evasive - we have been known to be extraordinarily evasive as the situation would suit. There can be no man, unless he be equal to us, that may demand or compel issue, which for reasons private, we wish to contain.


Dear souls, we all must share those crude awakenings that make known to us a measure of our ignorance. Truly, we do not know all of that we do not know - we cannot - and discovery of certain ignorances becomes an illuminating surprise, eventually. We are taught to question, to search and be also moderately patient for outcome.


If these words before you, were presented in a tongue foreign to any known language of the world today - but, it being our first language, closest and most accurate to this construct - would you be better acquainted? This planet is very old indeed and there need not be an 'alien lingo' for us to recall the 'unpronounceables': a dialect from men, by men. (And no, not even the expressive tongue you imagine, incorrectly; for it was not the quality of the words which invoked the picture-experience-meanings, but moreso the natural clairvoyance on behalf of the men at that time.) The point here being, there must be a place where we can meet, in minds, as fellow student to lesser pupil; and there are two ways in: devotion and pure reasoning. 

Is it possible for you to 'know' something distinct to your comprehension as found by experience? Can the subject know the life of his king, or only of those similarities so shared between them? The mother-lark may not appreciate the concerns of the mother-wren; nor even (to stretch a point) those of a mother-fox. How best can we then inform you upon idiosyncrasies which may not translate and therefore be understood as are, in truth, in relation to ourselves?

Question: Can you comment please? You once said, of fingerprints - "... you cannot take them" - could you explain what you meant by this?

You would have to catch us first! Seriously however, our fingerprints are as engraved beneath the skin, but not upon the outer surface - there is much vitality imparted through the tenacious points; and the regenerative layering occurs from the outside, as opposed to the underneath layers pushing up to the exterior.

The sheath-like top layer is that body we use to tele-transport self-like projections, when we are 'travelling light' as it were. It is physically-material substance, which is drawn to our frame exteriorially and holds shape (better than a lycra body-suit) - 'live' matter, which is of ourselves, which may be separated off from the core body's magnetism, for a time.

You see, if one is to appear physical - i.e. to be touched, to make impact, and so forth - there has to be substance, real substance, mere appearance is not reality. If we choose to go about (as the immortals went into battle) leaving our bodies behind, then in order to be physically active, we need have physical substance, albeit, by comparison, slight.

Historically, the most marvelous battles were fought out in this way, where captains were gored repeatedly, only to return to their 'home-bodies' that slumbered safe from the danger, and resume life.

Also too, many covetous spies would try to scavenge a snippet, an imprint, a memento, from the Master's personage, as a fetish, a corresponding link; and to great nuisance. In this way, we do not discard portions of ourselves in the public world: skin does not flake, hair does not discard etc.

For whilst we are embodied (and we are embodied) we may suffer sympathetic links to all parts of said body, in relation to it and to others. This is not to say that sensitivity has weakened the overall development, but in these times and amongst certain lowly types of people, there can be varieties of would-be poisons difficult to manage, were we not to protect ourselves.

The outer-physical sheath body does not die, as in putrefy, but is ever renewing - becoming dissolved and re-hung at will. In this respect one might liken it to a 'resurrected body'; however, not so in actuality, in relation to the necessary appendage - that is, the parent body beneath. (By the way, thus the almost plastic complexion, by appearance, when separated - no blood underneath.)

           

It is predicted that the entire range of matter of which comprises this Globe shall be so significantly and effectively altered that the physical substance itself shall be as 'resurrected'. Having said that, such changes, catalytic changes, have entered into the physical realm already - i.e. by the Body of Christ having been made flesh and spilling/seeding into the very ground. From this internal catalyst there shall be the reformation of the physical world in its relation to the manifestation of Spirit. It shall have dominion over the influences of death and be repulsive to chaos indefinitely. By such time - and we are speaking of the far future - there becomes an outpost of true paradise as credit to Christ and His Glorious Humanity.
When answering the curious, who have asked you of us, you might say:

"We do not enter into the deep mysteries lightly. We do not make jest of, we do not dismiss the most wondrous possibilities. We have learnt the value of meaningful consideration and attempt continuously to put real effort into gaining certain truths.
"The mystery schools never promised open-house learning, whereupon any man or woman was given the keys to the vault simply, easily and meritless; and in this respect, nothing has changed - you are free to be a fool as long as you choose to be a fool - and we will not be compromised.
"Therefore, in first respect to one's teacher, we shall try to digest that which is put before us and go on from there."

False promises to overeager students are as dangerous as they are disappointing; and undigested truths are worthless. Would it be correct to make comment that the full weight of this material today would not have been credibly comprehended by you two years before? From this you may reflect that much will come in time, which shall be more pertinent and lasting, when needed.


We may not in the near-future give you ourselves, but we may effect 'signs' which may delight and bring cheer. Be watchful. Be ready for change. Do not forget your heart, especially in pressing matters. You are accountable to yourselves before us, completely and always.


-the Brothers

Move Swiftly & Decisively- 3rd August 1993

IT need not be a compromise to the gentle approach for one to be prompt and poignant amidst the sea of static indecision. One may be composed, and therefore restrained to a point where they are neither wasteful nor embarguous [from 'embargo' -Ed.], whilst also so composed, that they may direct all attentions accurately, focus intently, adhere to activity purposefully and acknowledge a recommended path to follow.

We may leave much to Heaven to decide for ourselves - verily and indeed, we are obliged to do just that without remission. Also we are periodically entrusted with our own fate to create and to affect such destinies for others also; whether carelessly or with absolute effort.

When the time requires assertive and powerful action, it is a response to an opportunity presented before one which may be of their choosing to grasp and maintain, or let slide into nothingness, absolution and resolution. All of our training, all of our praying, all of our contemplating, all of our deliberating, all of our testing and all of our weighing, shall contribute to that moment of mighty decision when a choice is put before us.

A 'heart' evaluation does not always come to a man easily. Today we shall review why this is the case, for most certainly it is relevant. It portends to the first question of Man's greatest upset, that he does not know himself well enough to be the lofty soul in actuality. Were that all men lived, loved and worked heart first, then there would be no disagreement of perspective or goal in the larger and lesser communities.


When we confer with ourselves we are often persuaded by recollections of associative situations - as well we might, as useful a gauge these recollections are, however we cannot completely draw from our experience of the past to fully make measure of a present situation.

As we stand to greet the events which demand of us, we are to appreciate they are fresh and new, and it is best not to view them with a mentality of sameness. Droll thinking expires life - it can actually disfigure and corrupt the vibrant thought-activity which abounds our immediate locality. An inept man who half-heartedly meets the day, brings certain desolation to himself and those around him.

Consider, contrary to this, the disposition of the imbecile who is overcome with joy anew for every single happiness, every wonderment. He has not the contempt of familiarity, he does not hold the presumptions which disappoint, he is taken with as much happiness where possible and gives to the world from this very jubilation. His soul has actually more of a connection, than a man who maintains the properties of intellect and rationalization. However the imbecile has relinquished much by way of self-determining his fate. For the lifetime in which he rests there can be little or no dynamic interaction and his gateway of experience shall be of a harvest more equivalent to that of a child's.

When a child enters into Heaven they do so with extreme peace and happiness. The review of actions passed and to be accounted for, the appeasing of personal demons and ghosts, the follies and the insolentries, the sorrows and the hatreds - these are not applicable to a child whose term is incomplete. He comes to Heaven much as he left it, returning with only happy reminiscences of all the wonders which comprise a life. If there has been grievous or painful occurrence, and their little history has been marred with unhappinesses, they shall not take them with them after death, as such trials at an early age are not incorporated into the being which is abjectly reliant on care.

This leads in to an interesting arena of thought where there is much debate. Many grown men and women have 'drawn out' into their consciousness grievances relating to their childhood (prior to the age of 7-10) and experienced such sorrows as an adult because of the grief exhumed. Now because it is that the recollection - which may or may not be accurate in the clairvoyant recall - has been summoned, it comes not to the child, who is separate and innocent to its qualities, but rather now to the adult who is responsive and interactive in a fully conscious participation. This brings the 'problem' as it were, into the immediate present - when we suggest, there was not a problem to be had before. The practice therefore, of inciting traumas and griefs from an adult who would not otherwise acknowledge them, is questionable. However, memories which relate to a child who is passed the age of seven (or ten, depending) may carry with them implications in future behavior.

So we are led to ask, how marked are we by our experiences of the past? And furthermore, to what good purpose?

Decidedly, we draw upon experience and incorporate it in our being for better or for worse. It is, as they say, all we have. It is not enough to borrow said recollections. We cannot incorporate another's knowledge or wisdom into our own being as it is with their signature alone. We are obliged to earn every speck as though it be a granule of gold. Equally we may not impart our wisdom lastingly upon another, unless they receive it willingly and experience it for their own; whilst also there shall be a little of our own being marking that very insight or teaching thus shared. It is the way. This makes for a very personal exchange comprising the integrated sphere of larger comprehension.

We are fixed in location in relation to our shared understandings. We are levied and proportioned according to our net value in being. We are further committed and expanded by inner development which pushes us as from the inside out. Our merit, our worth, is dependent upon the richness of soul-activity claimed knowingly. If we are impartial to the world or to a thought, it is impartial to us.

If we evoke certain memories to coincide with present-day occurrences or projections, it is preferable to realize where we can, that the past does not mean to mislead us - it is true to its own. However we must necessarily distinguish and discern those differing aspects which do separate that which was from that which is, or that which may be.

Here is the tool for a fuller consideration: active comparison. It means that we are not content to simply make a primary association, that we are prepared to extend the review thoroughly by advancing our recollection in comparison with the presenting facts before us, and finding the points, fine though they be, that do not match. Then when account is made as best can, we may refer firstly to our immediate motivating sympathy.

The heart is always cautious to judge and quick to embrace. Men seek rapport naturally, and flinch from dissension instinctively. The fact that we are quick to fear or even quicker to retaliate is usually because of a mismatched association which lends itself to said experience.

Old Man Time- 31st July 1993

IF one should come to the equatorial bracelet and so measure those locations, they could arrive at the conclusion that a greater conductivity mobilizes there, a band of greater activity involving the instreaming possibilities for change. Should you spill a dye in the center of a spinning disk it will work its way to the circumference, making greater effect the further out it reaches. The propensity for change in relation to a warmer climate, is heralded through magnetic pathways in thunderous activity - the snap and sparkle of an electrical storm, the arena for the beginning battle which only 'change' does bring.


'Newness', abstract newness, is very much taken for granted as always having been as an allowance, as a right, as a prevailing condition. This in itself is not so, because there are in fact episodes within the ages of Man where there are no possibilities afforded for change whatsoever - it is as the planet has paused with a momentary sigh and closed herself off from any further intake.

'Newness' brings stresses and strains to all who front the unknown dragon, who is to be regarded as both infinitely wise and infinitely unpredictable - of course. That such an element is housed and made provision for, is quite remarkable. Newness may only be effected where change has entered in and preceded it. Without the two, men and for that matter all previous cycles, all kingdoms etc., would be confined to those planes of activity as entered upon, without release.

Old Man Time has crept through and stalked the imagery in men's imaginations e’er since self-conscious recollection (this may sound as an obvious statement, but not so). Old Man Time does not present as but a ghost of the past, but moreover as the living past calling to men to acknowledge all that he is and has encompassed. Picture if you will, the keeper of the cycles, the cyclic law balanced and perfect, the treasures of ingenuity struck, and the solemn sacred wisdoms as found only by Man and his manly interpretation thereof. He is not only as a compounded spirit - i.e. the pneumata of Humanity - he is living time embodied, but from our past. Upon his girdle do hang the keys of great learning, bringing with him the sum total of Man's former expression. He is a grand soul and may actually be met with - yes, actually.

He does not, as one might imagine, embattle himself with change or its outfall. This is not the domain of 'time past' who stands aloft from the ongoing actualities. The world beats one beat faster than his involvement; Old Time stands out of time with the current time and all it is.

Here is something of a hint as to the glimpses of precognition, whereupon the future is advanced as one beat ahead to the present. However precognition offers the vision of spiritual design awaiting - not yet born into being - therefore not as representative of what has to befall, only living in semi-tangible realms of impending likelihood, if that. Those who witness such dreams and fancies as do spiral the atmosphere are often irreparably alarmed. The measure of 'change' as is the theme to such floating possibilities is over-clear, and to men's perception, equal to disaster.

That which breaks into or away, tears apart, dissolves, destroys, contaminates, condemns in order to make for new order, is when experienced, unsettling to say the least. This 'Kali' influence is both welcomed and shunned by an ever fumbling Humanity, who in some sense stands upon the wave-washed rocks, slippery as they are, balancing afore the next wall of water rises to greet them. No one need be told though, of how the grace of change may also bring release and such sweet offerings to men who would otherwise be imprisoned without freedom.

So these impulses work and weave their way throughout the globe, being ever more predominant in some aspects and expressions where they may make entrance - more so than others. Each man too, is as a miniature globe and has a field to which he may enforce, that may for a time repel change. There was a tale given of a portrait, a self-portrait, that aged and changed whilst the painter remained untouched by time, and at the end it caught up with him all at once, and he could not forestall the changes which time would bring, any longer. [Dorian Grey]

We are answerable to laws which may be propositioned briefly, however all of us must necessarily conform to equal requirements. It is always for the good of ourselves that this be so, for the higher wisdom delegates such impulses and eventualities with supreme foreknowledge which complements the infant Man. Overall there is not one way chaos and subsequent change may intervene where uninvited. It simply is not so.

As stipulated before, there are actual periods whereupon the planet takes rest and runs, as it were, on 'automatic pilot'. It is a recovery time which fortifies the fields and 'reforms' the general substrata ecology. Historically these times present as being completely uneventful, and there are miniature periods of these also. The outstanding souls who ordinarily are drawn into the world for the times of great change are deferred and the gross population is allowed a little 'catch up' time; usually with a very peaceful incarnation equally as uneventful, but completely restorative.

This is to good purpose also, because there becomes a re-association with the globe, of happy times, in such times of peace. When men picture paradise or heaven on Earth, it is often with the richly imbued recollections of these periods they have known as fondest reincarnations, overall.

Yes you are correct, the old world does perpetuate and remain - the stamping ground of Old Man Time - sheltered and innocent to change- faerieland being the etheric world which cohabits within the physical realm, held back one beat behind the challenges of an evolving evolution, two beats behind what might have been chaos and subsequent change.


There are many beings who await at the gates in blissful ignorance of how the precious token of frozen time will dissolve away one day, releasing them yes, to advance and to become, at the expenditure of that dream which at present perpetuates in mysterious surprise.

Thus will then be also, the death of Old Man Time, when even he shall be overburdened by age... such old age that revivifies only with change and rebirth.

Early Death- 23rd July 1993

QUITE often the quality of soul-life and soul-expression may blaze intensely in those men who have predetermined an early departure. In some cultures, death to the very young or very pure is an indication that God is so satisfied they need not remain, but rather become as picture-perfect, loved and embraced by Heaven; even though those who remain do mourn their departure bitterly.

After death the sufferance of men differs by degrees extraordinarily. All souls shall come to paradise and sweet respite, all men will glean from their soul's experience and know of its delight whilst called into earthly interaction; and the manner of which the earthly link was severed will determine much for their future, as well as their immediate experience.

Firstly one must acknowledge that we have all 'passed through the portals' very speedily at one time or another, at various durations of age, and there is probably not one form of decapitation or tragedy that we haven't personally encountered. It is or has been, a fact of earthly life - particularly in those times whereupon the consciousness of man perceived the spiritual worlds through but a very thin veil, and knew no mortal fear.

However our natural abhorrence to violent insult goes further than good instinct for self-preservation, it does indeed reach deeply into our promise of continuance, and that Will - both ours and the Divine Will - which drives us into the world in the gathering of earthly re-embodiment.

Suicide, above all other forms of death, has to be the most horrendous. For it is the sacrifice and defeat, whereupon the soul has conflict with the immobilized self-consciousness, and the man in hatefulness to the world and to his higher-being seeks annihilation to such argument. There are beings which feed on and encourage such events; veritable demons who would separate a man from his soul and endeavor to devour both. If there is any doubt as to men becoming truly pitiable at times, view a would-be suicide where life itself is rebuked and spat upon, and the wretchedness of a belittled man has overcome his dignity.

Returning to the question at hand: it has often been found that if one were to view the remains of the deceased of one who had died as a result of an accident, and was known to be an individual of great merit, quite often such remains prove to hold physical organs of which, there is a marked dysfunction. Not always does this occur, but as a point of interest it can even be said that the man in question appeared healthy and strong of constitution, however may well have been so afflicted that fatality was imminent. We mention this for one of two reasons:

There can be many episodes and opportunities presented to us during the course of our life where we may desist from living, should we choose to do so. Whilst we continue on, we have by the Grace of God and His loving troop of caretakers, averted much malady, defied death constantly. We defy death by living; also too and more obviously, we are placed within fractions - the whole world is held in place that we continue day to day. Many, many accidents are quite possible but avoided, vanquished by the timing, foresight and promptings of beings who act to counter-force the distresses of chaos and violence.

As specified before, the nature of our death is of importance to the gathered experience distilled by the soul after the fact. Should a man die with his body intact and be permitted to loosen himself, dissolving the bonds in time necessary, then as with an uncomplicated birth he may work his way through the various procedures, before becoming free to go on.

Should he however, be so separated from his physical body and the body become corrupted all of a sudden, he is greatly hindered in the gleaning. In the case of lingering illness the absorption is taking place whilst alive, i.e. the merits of the developed depositories are becoming as intake all the while, as the slow departure requires.

For what is in the body you might ask. One cannot distinguish that which is of a man, so belonged by him and intimately used by him, and then separate it as though the two (in this case the physical body and the soul) cease relevance or connection. In death one withdraws, but during the process the individual seeks to depart with all that is his, so to speak, leaving no remnants behind. The physical body is saturated by such impressions of individuality as borne within by the man himself.

Also, the subtle counterparts require their distillation too: every single portion of our body/bodies holds gathered expression and experience which is of us, ourselves, and after death we endeavor to translate such stored experience and expression and absorb it into the very fabric of our being.

It can be that there are parts of a man's constitution which are uncompliant to his individual markings. For example: the kidneys do not serve him; they do not hold a complete sympathy to him. Whilst there can be many reasons for this, the result is that (in the case of a 'good man') the fact that he cannot dissolve certain parts of his body accurately - for reasons of an accident - may prove that he should not have been able to do so at any rate, nor should he choose to, and thus the accident. For the body would not receive his intimations and became separate in function.

In the instance of transplant, this too will occur, especially because of the signature pre-existing, with a separate individuality blocking/resisting the subtle interaction of another. Whilst the two are alive the organ will continue to receive from the temperament and expression of its owner and cohabit aggressively in the community which it has been placed for a time.

In the instance of the donor being deceased, then there shall be persuasions for dissolution becoming provoked, as the rightful owner is constantly drawn to his organ which is still vitality-infused. Therefore the recipient is somewhat responsible for the soul, being as earthbound awaiting to depart with certain characteristics he has deposited within the physicality and astral bounds.

In the case of semen as distributed from one to another, one may gauge that the substance is not only vitality imbued, but also in emanation extremely linked to association of its owner - a subject we may expound upon at a further date.

However, the point of the physically violent death can and does imply that a man is inhibited from completely enveloping that which was his, as physically and astrally impressed. It does not mean that the life amounted to naught, nor is he severed from recollections of actualities and soul-impressions. It does mean that there is a shock which may or may not cause grief to the man so rapidly flung and divorced from his body.

In the instance of a malevolent man who is grossly connected to the desires which provoke catastrophe, he is to endure quite rapidly much of what he gave out into the ethers. Having lived so divorced from intimations of heart and soul, he, as an ego-consciousness, may well grieve heavily for that body and the world which hid him well. There is something of a blessing perhaps that he does not have to manage all of his vileness - it is as unfurled into the world unfortunately. Yet commensurate development is also therefore denied to him, and in subsequent lifetimes he will be presented with exactly the same circumstances that he may pick up from where he left off and re-gather the experience he requires. There is more than likely to be a lesser period between re-embodiment also.

For the soul who has suffered a violent death because of evil intent and act, there is a great impact of suffering, most sadly for them and for the world. They are, after the event, provided for and so sustained, that the memory is all but gone and the assault and the maliciousness spent at the time of the death is so understood that it can be forgiven. No death which is maliciously contrived and executed is preordained by fate or karma.

In the case of death by accident we find that the soul/consciousness slips out from the cadaver, usually in innocent happiness and curiosity. Many times there have been indicating preparations on behalf of these individuals aforehand, and it must be understood that it is not that they choose death before life and all that they love in life, but that they are nonetheless peaceful as regards the 'stepping out' eventuating.

Remember too, that the soul knows of continuity and does not view death with finality as regards relationships and strivings. All that we hold dear to us goes on, continues on, and survives the physical death, literally! In time we resume, and should we feel that we miss something or someone, then by the power of the desire, we are returned and so united. We may be fearful that such desires will dissolve and memories be lost out of time, and it is true that we may savor a little differently, and the accent of importance may change, but the memories of what has been are vivid and fresh to the soul and are a great gift of life indeed. Old friends constantly reunite. Distance and space, even region, do count for nothing when there is mutual empathy.

How can one measure a lifetime? For those of us who remain, it is from heartbeat to heartbeat. The why/wherefores of an early death depend on deep knowledge of that soul who has thus determined. We must not despise him for it. He himself may have planned many great enterprises and be well disappointed that he could not execute such vision. All good men die too young. The world needs them all, and unobligingly submits them to the Heaven they deserve.

We may be sure, that for a man who has lived well and perceived the world with the strength and guidance of his heart, he is very, very much at home after death. For such a soul, they may be required a hastened return (such as in two hundred years perhaps) and yet, nonetheless shall at times be intent on all that concerned them whilst alive. For whilst that which held their love, still bearing their love, remains on the Earth, they shall be so bound and present, consciously interacting - particularly when called upon.

The soul's reasoning is good reasoning. The soul's preference may not adhere to the wants or logic that we hold, however, it knowing patience, faith and of spiritual cause, dictates its needs accordingly. For the soul holds patience knowing that all desires shall be returned, fulfilled. For the soul has faith that the promise of continual and everlasting life is possible. The soul perceives spiritual causality, loving the world for what it is and redeeming the world by spirit.

No greater friend has he that will remember him,
and pray for him from the shores of this world to the afterlife.
And he shall know it - he who has gone - and shall be glad.

We Approach Gently- 18th July 1993

IF we come to the needy bringing some alms, if we seek for a healing or a sharing of a confidence, if we hold forth our offerings of beloved and gathered wisdoms, if we challenge their demons on behalf of the strangled soul, if we sing to them, say to them, lay our hands in fiery touch, if we venture to support, uphold, convene, make contact. . . we do so, gently.

Therefore we suggest likewise: go hither, go forth, always with a gentle approach. Power does not by itself alone, find its target. Whatever our wishes would predestine is determined by accurate delivery. Too little or too much empowerment will overshoot the range.

We qualify our ideals by our behavior. We may envisage a core of eventuality, but not have the means we know of to reach it. All the time we do work towards our heart's desire, knowingly or not - we would certainly die should we cease the inner direction.

A gentle-man need not be weak. A gentle-man has the composure to contain his strength. Every misspent measure of force is as power departed, and the man is debilitated therein. Just as the ruthless and evil intention poisons its owner, so too are we marked by our misdirected exertions and crippled by our sins.

There is not one man who stands so far above sin as to not hear its calling. As the Sirens to Ulysses, may we block our ears and blind our eyes to sin? It may work well should we forfeit commensurate life! Even Ulysses could not be strung up to a masthead and bound indefinitely!

Do we fall to the calling of the sin of conceit in believing we are pure and impervious to fault? Do we sin against our soul with denial of such reckonings that need redefine our true triumphs from our failings? Equally so, are we quick to condemn and damn, and invite the sin of hatefulness, of scorn and injustice, upon ourselves and our brother?

Should we go carefully - stealthily, but cautiously - we will err less often. Even enemies are best approached quietly and gently, that they need not know you make your way towards their camp.

It is important that we may be cheerful about our impending battles. Too often men should 'trade out' their challenges for some notion of 'peace' and for nonexistence, for cessation. More important it is that we may revive our reserves of internal strength that we may once again know of our unshakeable resolve.

'Spirituality' may hearken us to yearn for the highest, the grandest, the purest and most beautiful, and sorely contrast our lives and ourselves by intangible definition. The student is naturally perplexed forthwith, because the paradise experienced is but a token prize and something of a constant disappointment. 

Also there is this consideration: When our soul is overfilled with a rapturous experience (in waking life), we do not necessarily translate the full happiness into our conscious recognition. After death it becomes another matter, whereby the bliss is multiplied and known. Yet if we are consumed with a delight that literally shoots up and down and through the soul in great rapport and love for that which it is connecting with, we can often be as vacant to the experience and unaware in our self-consciousness. All we may know is that the moment - unfilled with thoughts - was pleasurable or happy or fulfilling, or 'in tune', etc.

However, such episodes have lasting effect, and the uptake of higher emotion does eventually (and slowly) release itself back into the self-consciousness of the man. Now for this to happen there need not be a realization of the afore connecting experience, rather it shall be an overall comprehension of happiness and wellbeing. Once again, as said before, after death it is quite another matter and the vistas of the soul become the summits of known experience.

Now added to this we find also that there is an equal situation when we displease our soul. Our individuality holds natural aversions to all things which are injurious to the soul, the heart and the future. If we partake in that which is disdainful to our inner, higher selves, then we suffer the conflict it brings, as the soul alarms the self-consciousness with irritable intimations. Quite often it may manifest by such unsettledness that will necessarily prompt the man to review his life's progress.

Also added to that, we suffer the contest of a 'Jiminy Cricket' conscience, opposed to the pure directives of the heart and true conscience. By this we mean thus: it is possible to be both 'right' and 'wrong' in what we do or wish to do, at the same time concurrently. And by measure of a social/worldly conscience, or by measure of the heart and its voice, we may be ethically wrenched either way.

One may be right or correct in two dissimilar choosings; and of course, wrong in both. When one is undecided and quite distraught by the concerns of which an ethical question implicates, there is not the need to judge the predicament prompting the question, so harshly. All dilemmas are fruitful. All matters of heart are worthy of long and arduous scrutiny. We are not impelled to rash action either - remember, of course: approach gently.

We may not come to great happenings hurriedly. For one reason, there is no need, for another, it is not the way in. For the frantic explosion of an overeager man expires the joy he might have known, before he does reach the horizon.

The Starry Frontier- 11th July 1993

AT present we can perceive preliminary luminaries only. The phosphorescent lamps, as we know them, present by clusters, juxtaposing several known realities - whilst also are as mere fuses, for many more besides.

As perception will alter (and it will alter) the orbs and their levels of radiances shall reveal such gamma lights as are creatively imbued. That is to say, shafts of discharging, diffused radiance, shall reveal such images as do live in that light, to the viewer - much like a movie projection on the beam.

These images play out events caught within the memory of the sphere at hand, which whatever its status, has memories peculiar to various expressions of life it knows. These emanations of memory are but play-offs, drawn out from the entity that is intermingling with the effects of the greater Sun and his influence upon it.

The cosmic fields are full - verily Heaven is unique in having so many chambers and pastures to encounter. We may scoff as we project our thought into a seemingly vacant sky; we may even be offended to believe that we have been cheated of self-recognition in other worlds. However, the imagination is kind, for it shall provide enough measure of insight should we truly desire exploration, whilst protecting us also from the entrapments of straight perception.



Remember the spirit adage:

Where I perceive, I am,
Where my heart leads me, I am;
Where my desire takes me, I am;
In reminiscence or in this present, I am.

So it is afforded by the divine faculty of imagination that we may sense such other realities by half-measure. That we are not overwhelmed nor clearly composed, is because we are not actually interacting with the other reality, as we might do should we be totally taken by the experience. On the other hand, certain frontiers will be entered upon at a later date purely by the use of a willful and designing power of imaginative cohesion. So the actual creative practice does eventually lead one into further realities.

Remember also that when one suggests such words as 'creative' and 'imagination' it is not to say that they are nil-founded, fanciful objects of subjective design alone. This cannot be so. Man at present is not equipped, empowered or ingenious enough to hold individual recipes for purely creative thought. This department is truly the substance-realm of the gods; of which there is effort and ability required. At best we make interpretation alongside our perceptions. We do not however, create from the beginning or originate the imaginations that we may draw unto ourselves or extend our perception to.

A pious man may experience a certain flow of imaginations; particularly during his devotional episodes. These may be wonderful or hideous, or beheld to be both even at the same time, by the claimant. It is possible for confusion to arise from the effects of this 'full-flowing' imagination.

Also too, one may begin to willfully direct this flow and cognize certain future projections cast as one would have it. This is a questionable practice wherein it must be cautioned before proceeding. Cautioned, because such willful directives do make a difference upon whom or what they are imposed upon, whilst not necessarily being good for anyone or anything concerned.

The student must endeavor to consult the higher authorities firstly as to the wisdom of directing life and reordering outcome. By this, we suggest a prayer in order to seal the imaginings and direct purposefully, constructively, where permitted, conducive to all.

There can be many revelations given to a man directly from the stars. The paths of connection are there and the celestial bodies do communicate constantly. By music, by verse, by wisdoms, by visions, the starry muses are there and there to be implored. Before conductivity we may 'empty out' - not of our ego, nor even our blessed personality, but rather our immediate, present concerns.

There are points within our constitution that need not become too inflamed or overly excited, however share an affinity with more than one grid-gradient; depending upon the direction we stand in at the time. This may sound obtuse, but there is a reality nonetheless, which is indisputable. A man may be measured magnetically in relation to how he stands, what he faces etc. Furthermore, the starry influences shall impress him accordingly and work through him in differing ways, through shared and corresponding points. Possibly, if one was to look for reasoning in this, it may be that such versatility is more compact and effective, but such polarization is to the equation of four - from four directives - and has more to do with the common law of 'fixing' oneself within the boundaries of binding magnetisms.

This becomes a complex area. One can say that there are locations for everyone which shall always be as theirs - permanent places of residence, so to speak. It is out from such residencies that we may venture, only because there is a 'place', a statement, a spot that is ours: our allotment.

When an adept transmigrates and advances from his physical body, it is upon such a principle as described. He could not enjoy the freedom of projecting himself away from his physical cadaver, if it were not for the very real connection to a living body awaiting his return.

Similarly, we all have our home-stars from which we venture, and only because of their stationary status are we afforded explorations of expression, etc. There is ever a thread back home, and a star, amongst many, smiled upon by a fiercer radiance . . . shining back in a happy luminosity.

Christ : In & Out of Time- 4th July 1993

IMAGINE that you have been taken to a very special and sacred lake wherein men go ethereally; and there, if one desires, they may dare to make witness of the vision which will obligingly surface, right there before them. On trembling knees, with heightened expectation, you have gone to view the mystery of the soul, not just any soul, but rather, your soul.

This is not the bath of redemption wherein a candid glance measures the value of sin, the scores of sin and the ignoble triumph. This is not the pool of Humanity's sorrows, that perchance one casual viewing would induce either dedication or despair, forever after.

This is not the crystalline dream: that which provokes the many-colored visions which entice a man most happily, so much so that he might trade reality for this seventh sense. This is not the mirror-pool of the memory, nor is it of forecast, nor changeable, impressionable, translatable or cunning.

Imagine that you have asked for an audience face to face with Christ Himself, and the only window to where the worlds meet is before you in this sacred lake.

Why are deficits more credible than inborn talents? Why are we critics of God, when we condemn His Perfection in us? Why is the candid man so awkward about his glory? The beauty, the ability, the depth of expression, is immeasurable.

There is no pain in Christ. No, there is no pain. There before you, you may find His Face and make sense of His Being, almost as it were, in replace of your own image; and yet too, it is in truth, yours truly.

In Christ we are brought to realize grand perfection. May we be bold in our approach? The Master would comfort you, He would not admonish you - He is, as they say, right behind you all the way. There is no tyranny, no stern reproach, no anger, no outcast, no suspicion, no segregation, no battle, no disagreement, no argument to be had. Men are startled by their own divine countenance, moved to abandon such judgments as did defile their brother and themselves.

Twice we may be given this intimate exposure, and many times are we given to full review of the sensation of soul in accepting this renewal. What a surprise it is to many, that they may abandon their shell of superfluous tragedy and find the man they see!

In Christ we find singular intent. He knows from within a man how he is faring. If we are open to His persuasion, then He knows this also.

How may it be that there becomes Christ in the sky, Christ in all men, and so forth? That His Face is imprinted within each and every peck and pit? It is because the World is His firstly and Creation is signatory to His Being in its entirety. And He can afford great happiness in this.

Quite often we shall make a distinction between that which is in time (of time) and that which is out of time. In Christ such variables are specific and of contrast too. For Christ - our Christ out of time - there is as specified, no pain. However - for example - contrariwise: for that part of Christ thus descended into actuality by choice, so given to the bondages and ramifications of Time, there is constant agony. (Ed. note: Agony: Greek agonia struggle, Latin agon contest.) The word is a difficult one - so difficult to contemplate, let alone suffer.

The perils of manifestation are bravely borne, the anti-conductive forces are met, the instabilities withstood, the extraterrestrial interfering critics are bandied, the indifferences of men are suffered and subdued, the arguments between helping hosts are made peaceable, the weight of the axis is met according to the propensity of push and pull, the defiance of men is forgivingly endured, and the impatience of local and related Kingdoms is becalmed and equivocated. Answers must be supplied; huge reservoirs of optimism need be constantly drawn in; encouragements continuously granted; whilst explanations 'explaining the case' are made on high. This and more, falls nothing short of agony. However and obviously, it is not an unendurable agony, for it would not be withstood.

In order that every imperfection be met and answered, Christ Himself allowed such an adoption that would synthetically ensemble each difficulty and possibility of difficulty, within His Being. Such difficulties were thus overcome and worked out - much like the heavenly efforts 'battled out' in overcoming specific diseases in Man.

Corruption is the death-process of the pure, whereby contamination interferes with its original spirit, i.e. the purity as was. Death was never given to be part of the plan - not as we know it and certainly not in the spiritual sense. It is as the wish of the twelfth and evil fairy - the outcast. Death is a certain chaos which interrupts the grace of perceived and given continuity.

How frail a man becomes when faced with the great uncertainty! It is not as it could have been, would that his immortality was empirically obvious. The blatant truths of our impending spirituality are as completely made invisible, whereas the retarded comprehension, bound to extraordinary limitations, is subservient to the animal-man and barely repressible. This topsy-turvy grappling with Man is again resolved, in our Worldly Christ.

Christ (the Larger, if you like), who dwells out of time, is the Face as is offered in the mysterious lake. No man would dare to ignore these attributes relayed to him - if we think hard about this experience, we may sense for ourselves what is meant by it. Not even to be deemed a vision, but rather a reality of the first order.

Each infant is happy, naturally self-assured, they know this Face of Christ, and of their true selves. Say to an infant, "You are indeed wonderful!" and they, if they could answer, would say, "Yes, I know." We may celebrate Christ when we feel wonderful. And yes, there are many experiences of this, with associated ecstasies. He would not have it otherwise: that you be indeed truly wonderful.

The Impetus- 25th June 1993

THE underside of every petal harbors as shelter, a gentler, moderate current. Between the sweet earth, this rich and combusting soil, and the underneath of the face of a flower - or the underneath of a perpendicular leaf pronounced - there is a small climate immediate and particular to the plant.

And whereupon the Sun's rays are soaked in and on to the outer sheath of plant exposed, there becomes a tempered veil, as it were, invisible, but as a fine net, this aura of plant, magnified, intensified in activity at all of the outer points. The light speaks to the tips, from fine and slender shoots to robust hoary lengths. The plant has a 'quiet space' within its own and much busy life where the runners spread.

The roots are nourished by means of an old-world system - the water, the mineral constituents, the warm earth. The currency of the very planet pacifies the extensions of soil-bound life and redirects much influence skyward.

The 'atmosphere' beneath the surface (of the soil) and the atmosphere of that above, is paralleled by a humidity ratio- save for adjustment periods. There becomes a foster relationship in such conditions- whether dry conditions prevail, alpine or desert; or water saturates the environment, tropically or by weather depressions - the soil must be consistent with the moisture content of the air above.

Worldly conditions as met by the soul, resemble the life as known by the root-system of the plant. Such a system intertwines and amasses, the consciousness being earthbound on such a plane of activity which is quite blind to the soul-realities 'top-of-the-soil'. And here is the interesting point: the above earth irradiations are equal to the expending life of the active earthly consciousness, in other words, as above, so below- only more so!

For a while now the examples of spiritified Man have been portrayed by an array of fibrous colors, an illumined aura, maintaining the being of Man to be truly pretty and by this, defined. It is as an image ingrained in the concepts of modern thought, and although accurate in part, it is most misleading in complete representation. For there is a sentient being of Man, and also a diversified being for which he is known by advancements and peculiarities obvious to him.

To return to the plant for one moment: there are examples of abounding growth and contrasts also, of failure, in any species. The family of any given plant may offer a fantastic expression as a corporate soul, however the individual examples are each afforded many challenges to be surpassed, would that they may thrive and be. Conditions must be met and even the hospitable factors may test an immature growth.

A man shares many corresponding similarities in this, particularly when it comes to presentations of opportunity and presentations of untoward dilemmas. To make err, to fault, they say is most human. . . and that one thing for which there is purpose made clear for root and for runner, is the aspiration of the heart, the expression of love in activity. Each fragile flower is an expression of divinity. The blossom says "I am perfect love. I am the consequence, the transformation." and there is no truer statement.

If in earthly life a man cannot warm to much love (for some it may become intolerable), then his commensurate soul expression will, in revenue, produce a corresponding bushel; and as he is in life so shall he be thereafter.

Here is a great purpose of charity as given within the world. There are many who have endured cruel circumstances providing only a cruel and hopeless perspective. Quite often a dispirited man, dejected and resenting, may come to experience very little love indeed; and - as made example before - such a soul will have developed little, or next to nil, characteristics. That is to say, that he has not managed to break through his worldly consciousness, out and into the soul realms and develop himself accordingly, because the impetus for such growth was not there - the impetus being love itself.

One man's love can hold a profound effect within the soul recognitions of another. It may stimulate them to higher awakenings, whereas before it was not possible to make the breakthrough on their own. In an act of charity a man may receive not only the physical assistance he might require, but also a measure of outpouring love which identifies him as being correspondingly lovable.

If we are fortunate to experience much love within our own beings, we may forget entirely the position of those who have none. They may have reminiscences, yes, and this is good, for such may also lead them into heavenly expression and foreknowledge. However, as startling as it may seem, there are some who do not come to love, neither loving or being loved, and it is to these that the true charity of humanity may best work upon.

There are moments which we all savor. These especial times of warmth and enlightenment provoke the soul into marvelous expression. Men do vary considerably in this. As different as plants to each other are, so too do men differ in variety of expression.

The Corridors of Men- 20th June 1993

YOU know of the long and lengthy passage - at one time or another, there you were in such an aisle that was confined to either following through to the end or resuming the entrance. You know the sort of corridor, whereby the width is so tight that were one to advance upon another, try to pass or confront another person, the space between would be noticeably constricted and uncomfortably so.

In such a long corridor, there one is momentarily locked into confrontations and made aware of presences and personages who would otherwise make but vague impressions, if impression at all.

When we combine our solitudes and encounter the relationship which is forged within a given group, it is as though we enter into the narrowed corridor within each other's scrutiny, inflicting a new set of points to orbit, establishing a vision which is confined and set.

We have discussed previously the entities who may be claimed by particular gatherings and bonds of men. We have entered into the problems whereby a man may be conferred to forfeit all that is his for the sake of the larger party, but today we shall examine the blessing of community in the pursuit of spiritual endeavor.

Firstly it must be said, that Man may well be or become a vain and haughty creature should he come to learn of his power of summoning. For it is that the dear spirits - both the higher and the lesser angelic beings and their companions - all are unwittingly obliging, and almost one could say, compelled to draw near when called upon. Particularly this is the case when a body of men and women search the ethers intensely and invoke their presence by prayer and by topic voiced.

Perhaps too, they may have far more than they did bargain for, or their entitlement. For soft and tenuous utterings are received and hurriedly replied to. It is fact that there is much eagerness on behalf of the kindly beings, to heed any such welcome - even the dubious or doubtful. 

It is not to be imagined that the insensitivity of Man is so interpreted by accusation. It is understood and appreciated by those who have vision to see, that there are limitations, which by ordinary standards inhibit a man from breaking through his perception and running into the arms of les invisibles. Nor should this, at this point, be so desired; for here the ordinances are clear: the bow may not combine with the violin save to quiver the strings. It is their relationship to each other that creates- a blending of the two would be to no advantage.

It is true that there are such groups of men who seek to manipulate devas and devils, even too they suggest, dear angels also, and err from mischievous to destructive design. For these men who are cajoled upon the path of upset and evil desire, there can never be anything other than unhappy outcomes. Devices and rituals, empowerments and ill-used inverted sacraments, invoke powerfully malevolent characters who seize the humanity out from the man who invites them at will.

Isn't it of note particularly, that the 'black' path intentionally wills and commands, pronounces and dictates, when they only have to ask? Furthermore, it is the very attraction to such power-lust that invokes the very beings who have similar urges and designs, and are far more competent than the men involved; whilst also, eager to associate!

So one must be careful when entering in upon the subject of precisely how 'compelled' as it were, the beings of love, are to love. This is a compelling of an entirely different order and fashion whereby the soul or angel would fail to delight in the company of an evil malevolent man; and too, become constrained, held back from the repelling impulses.

However, when there becomes a gathering of genuine souls who desire to incorporate, the locality abounds with the gracious, the curious and even the fantastic! This is why there may be good reason for time provided for which there is an open forum, so that the study-group may become somewhat inspired by the contribution of one or more of the guests-invisible. This is not to suggest that there becomes an unsavory attempt to be mouthpieces for formless, voiceless words - mediumship is not required, but moreso that one may refine their intuition and be sensitive enough to come to the general nature within and without.

So too - this is very important - if for some reason there is an atmosphere which is unconducive to proceeding harmoniously, if this can be sensed afore time, it may be remedied by concerted prayer precisely for such. One need not develop fixations, which of themselves can become unwholesome, however, do be mindful that loving assistance and inspiration is ever at hand, literally.

The corridor-phenomenon, as experienced, does exaggerate the best and the worst attributes of each and every participant. Perhaps this is why individuals seek to counter this by extreme methods of inducing relaxation - socially or in group-effort - for the intensity may turn to aggravation, if not relieved.

The actual premises can make a difference here. Weather permitting, a group will find immediate relief if they may take small sessions outdoors. This shall provide the exact, if not more, 'ease' for individuals than say: over-humor, wine, party games etc. Of course recreation is beneficial too, in its place; depending upon what it is the group-study intends to steer the group-boat into, as it were. (Throw in another 'as it were' for good measure.)

The beauty is, on the other hand, that one cannot, should not, be emphatic about an infant group-body whereby it becomes either crippled from restriction or frail from an accelerated maturity. A group-body will be characteristically individual and comparable to no other. And unless the same mix of men and women gather repeatedly, the nature and characteristic will shift and alter also.

Similarly, one may choose to forge a study-group in one locality to comply with the reading and ritual of another (say, for example Sandringham) but it will never come close to being adhered to; even though it may present the same.

One must remember that as regards this work especially, we are essentially under the one umbrella and this is understood. Our visions - all of us - and our aspirations, reach up and out to the one source and we must not become unsure or insecure in this, just because our starry lights of soul activity appear disconnected. This will be so: our larger community, regardless of this and that group. 

A body of men may provide for two things in the world however: They may nurture each other and bring great revelations to be, by their concerted effort as a group - witness by the equation of two, and three and four and so forth. This is a power indeed, for a shared moment of inspiration infills the being with a greater recollection that remains ad infinitum. This is the stuff of future relationships for all men.

Secondly, as a body of men - openhearted, open-minded and wonder-filled - there can be such a good influence imparted to the world at large that there is a healing as given all of its own. For it is weakness and the ensuing sickness which is born firstly from spiritual malady - the repeated conflicts and agonies expressed and impressed, propounding and compounding, gaining on the free-spirit of Man. Group effort may answer this.

Christ Himself needs to be wanted. We are well to be reminded that there is no shame in needing to be wanted and also wanting to be needed - and furthermore, in "knocking on those secret doors".

When we venture into the great and profound mysteries, we do so nimbly. If we have the good fortune of good company alongside us, then we may be sure that the warmth and stimulation will exchange apprehension for anticipation, desperation for fervor, effort for application; and the eyes of love will be keen and bright as to one day behold the brilliance, which in truth surrounds them.

To gather in reverence and consideration is as an open asking. We ask for ourselves, for our companions, and on behalf of the greater world. 

Commiserations and congratulations fledglings! (And also, to you, dear J.H. Sen.)
