The New Jerusalem- 26th October 2024

'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.

-Lewis Carroll: Jabberwocky

Hans Georg Leiendecker

Whether we are aware of it or not, our dual existence is maintained ever throughout our lifetime of sleeping and waking; for this is an oscillation that perpetuates us forward.

And similarly, it will come to pass after death that there can be another dual existence, whereupon we are ‘awake’ and conscious, looking back into this world, and then for a period ‘sleeping’ and reaching into, and learning, in yet higher realms, and so forth.

This process, this passage of experience, truly nurtures and encourages the consciousness to grow in ways that living in a singular existence only could not.

It has been said that materialism is sclerosis of the soul i.e. that the focus on earthly life alone inters the mind, the consciousness; and the being who becomes so invested within only worldly parameters eventually finds that their thinking narrows, their consciousness thins, their social, moral and spiritual values are exchanged for investments in wealth and power.

Inevitably concerted efforts into wealth, for example, are not of themselves dangerous to the soul where there is attention and practice given to spiritual pursuits also, as well as a measure of benefaction.

The giver cannot do so merely as a shill but from true charity from the heart - for the heavens, and our own souls, will not be fooled.

Returning to materialism it is easy to see how inevitable it is for individuals to very quickly lose their sense of spiritual self and become entombed in the ideals of their own making.

One could say that the entrapments of the devil are very simple in this – and the hopeful who are excited with the glamour of lust's prospects all walk into an early grave.

For it is the spiritual worlds that sustain us – in every way.

Our journeys there during sleep truly provide the sustenance for our daily drive – the forces that motivate our limbs, and even that of our thinking, come from our gathering during the night when we are out and about our bodies.

The materialist however is often ‘earthbound’ to a great extent and could be mistaken as a ghoul or wraith in the neighbouring astral realm even whilst alive in the world.

For truly it is that what we focus upon we become and furthermore, who we focus upon (associate, assist, care for, pray for) broadens our own being and its reach.

Fundamentally selfishness in both rich and the poor is the cause of such misery (miser = misery) and in larger terms with broader reach the volatilities within countries and peoples are suffering generally because of this imbalance.

The New Jerusalem seeks to cohabit the souls of Community with the Heavenly perspective once again – bring into the world itself the forces required for its peoples to thrive.

And this is not reachable or achievable unless the hearts and hopes of men and women are once again enlightened and enlivened with the sweetness of true spiritual reward.

This: the experience of the greater expanses, the recognising of our beloved Christ within us, and our beloved Christ all about us, and the very simple truth understood that life itself is so much bigger than the temporal - as are we - gratefully, humbly, illumined for eternity.

Effluence- 22nd October, 2024

Evelyn de Morgan

Effluence is the run-off, and/or the expiration of the excess that departs the naturally divided waters, and many other substances besides. It generally goes its own way out from its source.

The frothy effluent on a beach or from a herbal medicinal compound contains extracts and properties that are now as the rarefied ethers - embellished and emboldened, enriched and if not contaminated, this shedding contains a wealth of dynamic properties carried through.

This form of extract has departed its natural ways and has been collectively composed.

Perfumery with all of its etheric vitality and cosmic exuberance is a succinct example of the powers of native effluence.

Homeopathy is a form of such extraction also becoming the potency- following the principles of the run-off, rather than the main.

For it is in the action of the departure we find such a critical change providing its gift to become so potent within our own homogeny thereby.

The distinction of this process is that the main body of substance is not the primary source, but rather that which comes from it: i.e. the fruit, the leaves, the flowers - the syrup (especially maple syrup) being the effulgent run-off from its host captivating this lively action and consolidating etherial and physical mineral properties that work stimulating and nourishing and imparting within the human system co-operatively - something of the nature of the Maple as well.

Effluence is a form of extraction that can be contextualised in mortal faith. It is not our thoughts or words that feed the world and the heavens above - it is the rarefied condensation overall - pertinent to its ‘currency’ of its living motion.

All acts of faith are dynamic: what may appear to be inwardly peaceful can be etherically very active - conversely where a mind/soul is in turmoil (perplexed, astrally desirous, angered, psychotic) they are almost etherically inert.

During a service of faith there is always a great spiritual activity all around - contrasting the gentle folk constrained to the quiet or the routines of recitals yet with the buzzing and lively ethers of many happy beings so surrounding.

The Good News & the Bad News-13th October 2024

Hans Georg Leiendecker

The true natures of some may not be as they appear, for there are indeed human beings who have lost their souls.

This disparity comes from abhorrent behaviour enacted by the lower consciousness.

The soul itself is not contaminated in this- having separated from the incarnating humanhood borne out of trauma and disgust - albeit of self, and not that of the World.

This is a slightly different take on the usual interpretation of what it means to ‘lose one’s soul’. For what we are explaining here is that the soul (although in a trouble all of its own) is fundamentally pure enough to evacuate its body and circumstance when life’s happenstance has been overtaken by the darker influences which thrive on death and sorrow.

When an individual in their early life leaves God, departing His ways, the soul along with their Angel needs must depart. For there comes a time for the wicked where their involvement forces the soul to abandon connection and association.

It is often said that the worst psychopath and murderers have come from cruel childhoods.

One cannot go into detail for that would provide a formula for those already given to evil - however it is enough to show that there are those who would perform unconscionable acts of injury to the innocent and take pleasure in their suffering and draw life from the ebb and flow of others, whereupon the ultimate desire is to separate men and women; and yes, even children, from their very souls.

And some of these individuals can appear to be whole humans - they may even conduct themselves successfully in all precincts of humanity; they may feign charm and work with a cunning - not all are brutes outwardly - but from our view it is plain who is and who isn’t as such amongst us.

This consideration is potentially as harmful as it is helpful, for we may look to our neighbour with suspicion or justify incarceration etc. depending on judgements which for most would be uncertain.

However you can know two things from this: one, the soul is safe and always so.

Christ holds our souls close and is protector to all.

Secondly, there are those within this World who have no conscience when it comes to the suffering of others and this alone can show you who they are, and sadly what they are likely to do and not do in their limited capacity - and, to be wary of such, for they do not care for humanity, and there are other forces and beings driving their passions, uncanny and godless, in abject masquerade.

The Wraiths of Sadness- 28th September 2024

Yuri Kuznetsov

The reckoning of ideas becomes the torsion between the heavenly spheres and the very motivation for proceeding forth with earthly evolution.

Materialism is of itself inert - it is not self-fulfilling for it requires a spiritual sustenance to sustain itself, and furthermore, from a cosmic perspective it requires a true purpose - a beating heart as it were - to be able to continue on.

During times of immense change the influx of souls is championed with such a variety of experience coming from past lives and places; and not all of the times represented coalesce homogeneously.

Added to this the storms which are becoming more prevalent are a direct result from demonic practices that conjure and coerce sprites, and righteous kobolds, and in some cases the collective malefactors that as puss now contained have been released into cyclone and flood, with ruptured earth and drenched metropolis, barren fields and splintering winds.

The ravaging tempest exceeds the resistance - for a time. And after its passing the calm does return - and the ground stills, the waters recede, the fires have gone, the stillness once more becomes a cache for bird calls and beetle creaks.

Meanwhile, overtly (in acts of war) and covertly (through acts of deception) peoples throughout the globe are being impinged upon, and for some their lives are interrupted in ways that are not normal, natural or friendly to the soul.

There becomes a collective unrest in the spiritual realm - overfilling the ‘Van Allen Belts’ of sorrow and suffering which is contained - for that residual is not permitted into Heaven itself having no real place there, yet clings to the outer atmosphere of the physical world as a smog of complaint and angst, tacky and dense, encircling the atmosphere; with no particular continent it travels sometimes in the radius, sometimes in clumps physically, astrally and etherically.

For the thoughts and experiences of the many are so powerful and their injustices and suffering impress the ethers with a ghostly imprint.

Now more than ever a remedial pledge can be made that we release and conform the very mirror of this world to reflect instead the inherent majesty of soul that is Man.

By grace and graciousness and purity - these measurements may give allowance for the holy to come forth and put task to further, to reclaim, and to heal.

Live as Christ would live and all will be well.
