Working the Rosary- 29th January 1994

REMEMBER back to the teaching of our coming to meet with the physical world particularly via the experience of contact upon the tips of our fingers? In the lower kingdoms the animals have different points other than their fingers (or equivalent):


  • in a dog, for example, it is the surface of the tongue that reasons the experience most greatly of the outer world;
  • in the cat it is their whiskers;
  • in the bird it is the tip of the beak;
  • in the otter and seal it becomes the whiskers and underside of the belly;
  • in the horse it is the hoof;
  • monkeys use their hands;
  • cows - cows don't really have one they more or less pretend their way through consciousness in the world;
  • sheep, back of tongue and throat;
  • camels, by spittle (extending themselves);
  • the snail's underneath;
  • the shark's nose;
  • the rhinoceros's horn;
  • the giraffe's lips;
  • the bat's feet (not a healthy/good way to the enter the world);
  • the mollusk's shell;
  • the caterpillar's fiber;
  • the flower's heart within the petals (as to 'touch', this is a contradiction in terms, but the heart is as their eye and flowering plants mature to the world unfolding when in flower, fulfilling their true and desired limit);
  • trees emit and travel through the odor and exhaling of their foliage, while plants like cotton continue a worldly consciousness after being plucked, processed and brought into a direct relationship with Man by use - even long after the plant has withdrawn, the preserved fiber in sheet or shirt is actually still acting as an extended digit to the overall spirit of the plant and gathering experience thereby.

Men enjoy sensation over the complete surface area of the skin and beneath the skin, and are not restricted as to how it is that they 'sense' the world. However, the tips of the fingers are the most sophisticated (the wiser) one may say, and have too, the dual purpose of issue which acts as a protective form of repellent, defining by vitality exactly the nerve's boundaries and the forthcoming emanations without. All ten fingers have an individual ray dispersing from the tip, even though they combine harmoniously. The number of digits has been particular to the streams of 'interest and enlightenment' within the man.



The Rosary, in the decad, was worked for each finger (including the thumbs), singularly and separately, moving piece by piece along, working one and then another, feeling each influence and its relationship within and without.


RIGHT HAND

  1. Our Father: Active Life - the Will & the forces of Ego. [Index finger]
  2. Peace/Containment (in relation to #1) Directly above the palm (the heart).
  3. Strength: sustained and active - to be used, summoned by the Will.
  4. Sexuality: Various aspects related.
  5. Good Naturedness: humor, goodwill - the thumb is the most obliging of the hand.
    LEFT HAND [or passive]

  6. Our Father, Passive: the Divine Will of utter existence - Quiescent. [Index finger]
  7. Disintegration: the power to desist, to dissolve.
  8. Obedience: strength curtailed - servitude.
  9. Reverence: suppression of the Ego, the power to 'give way' in surrender to God.
  10. Nobility: Generous, upstanding & virtuous.

The actual hand depends on which is preferenced for being the leading and active hand - a left-handed person may exchange 1-5 for 6-10. 

When a prayer or meditation is entertained we seek to be inward - some lose consciousness in this. However, when coupled with the process of determined and conscious touch, the actual prayer is exterialized and then recovered, substantiating and at the same time experiencing a more marked degree of conscious experience.

Every prayer and meditation may be interpreted according to the aspect of the ten. The centers within a man each respond differently and we may 'work' internally the constitution in the correct and proper exercise of such.

Quite often the weaknesses and failings a man may experience and personally seek to change are to be located primarily on that hand; in an aspect 'gone wrong' as it were.
The cooperation of meditation and Rosary encourages the aspects to virtuous activity in the affirmative, even though for the best part of the day they do meet with the world and all of its intemperance. 


The wearing of nail polish was as a conceit, saying: (depending upon color too) "I am refined and animated in all of these aspects - most perfect". The nails themselves are great protection of that area which is too subtly tuned to be exposed, but given in the process at the tips. A woman's vanity at seeking to hide the windows to those spaces was once considered an indication of her worldliness and inner insensitivities.

Footnote:
Clarification on how to do the Rosary meditation


Firstly one might start with one quality per day. Then instead of going through the whole of one hand, start with a finger on the right and then follow with the mirror finger on the left. This is the balanced way to do it.

Souls in Attendance & the Elements Throughout- 28th January 1994


WHEN someone has lost something they return to that spot where it has been misplaced, don't they? That is if they know of the general locality. This is as it is for the souls who are no longer embodied but still very much connected with this world in love and interest. They return to where and whom their selves have been so given in a lifetime; and too, to that which is desired, most longed for, as well.

For some this becomes a perilous frustration unsatisfied, for there are no means of making real that very thing in same or similar manner. However, some benefits are fully realized and the connections placed prove greatly worthwhile.

This is the case for those attendances made by mutually inclined souls at those functions which promote spiritual (higher) thought and holy celebration; for it is as they have lost that part of that they need. There are wonderings unanswered and strengths to be instilled, and also there are many 'last minute' forces of attribute that would please them and prepare them before moving on.

Every time a deceased person is thought of they are immediately connected and noted by those who share a key (mutual signature key). They are sensitive to the rememberings and kindnesses, to the bitternesses as well - thus one has pleaded to not speak ill or think harm of the dead as it becomes a seething woe which upsets and unsettles the individual.


Relationships become more not less, significant after death. The true attitudes are clearer, the soul defined and naturally gravitating to that which it is sincere to. There are many reasons why an individual may be unfulfilled in a particular way and seek such a remedy within the world. There is not the ability in most to retain a linked concentration for very long, and the actual attendance is in part also, much like a dream is to us. Their meeting at the world's edge with the living is similarly dreamlike for them as well. However if the intent and driving interest is strong enough, involvement will be guaranteed.

One of the advantages enjoyed by these souls at a prayerful session or an advanced discourse, is in that the subject matter is assimilated readily without obstruction and the full body and flavor is really experienced on that pertinent level. The souls who amass at such gatherings know that they require the inspiration or the answers, the cleansing or the celebration which may only be found by them within the actual events taking place in the physical world. As aforementioned, some individuals are frustrated in this, having no avenue, via relatives, friends or associates, so given (or not given as the case may be) to such spiritual advancement.

For most individuals the love and interest for the world increases after death, particularly having enjoyed the relief of discovering yet again the continuity and 'bigger picture' so to speak. Certain trials and errors are addressed, but on the whole the individual is usually drawn in interest back to those specific places and people for a brief glimpse and reassociation; very quickly indeed, but long enough for a general soul-impression to be retained. This heightened enthusiasm shall help drive the individual back into the next incarnation come his time, and also help mark those particulars which shall be met with upon return.

He shall be afforded the connections with the world as long as his corresponding signature keys remain: with people, with belongings, with ongoing karma - as say a manuscript read or a bridge built and walked upon - his own cadaver (mummified or preserved cryogenically) or even, in the extreme, in the instance of a very holy soul, just by the uttering of his name. All of these things provide the attraction and entrance back into the world at the edge where the two realities rest upon another.

Question:
At Communion how may the souls partake in the actual water and the wafer; is any to be left aside for them? 


Some elements translate exactly throughout the subtle regions: water is water and the water here may be directly experienced by a discarnate soul as it is; and particularly when transfused, imbued and enlivened with Holy Virtue. The 'taking in' of substance is different however, as the 'drinking' is done as quick as thought and desire draws their ethereal lips to the goblet; and although weight for weight the measure remains the same, it can be possible that one hundred such souls have shared the cup - and we have seen this - all the while the living company are none the wiser.

This is the true realization and meaning of the ever-replenishing font. For within the Spiritual Worlds this phenomenon is current and expected: no well ever dries, no candle ever dies and the multiplying of fish and loaves is as a 'daily' occurrence. One might say that the principle of regeneration is known to the World because of this; only that the World knows death also, which does interrupt the Divine precipitator. 


As the elements carry over, they do so into every phase of cosmic echelon, and it is not by coincidence that characteristics within a man are often discerned in terms of the aspect of fire, of water, of air or of etherical portendance.

Musically there can be affinities with the individual elements, a melody may, according to its characteristic aspect, bring water, bring fire, and so forth, into the room; albeit invisibly, but nonetheless quite tangibly - from a spiritual point of view. In the instance of an interpretation which lends itself to a chaos of change (as with your Mahler) there becomes a conflict of elements as one is called forth and does mingle or argue upon another.

To some, the effects of this are quite exciting and one can actually translate where one begins and ends, and how the aspects are invoked, only to clash and disrupt upon themselves - it is very much alike to an audible game of paper, scissor, rock etc. However, such stimulation may be overdone and unproductive: insofar as the characteristic theme is only ever in part and unfulfilled. This may explain the fascination for such.

All music may be interpreted in this way - not to forget also that for those pieces which are characteristically of water, for example, the beings associated with the water are related too; whilst our corresponding elements within are awakened and responsive to the musical invocations.

Preparation for Communion- 27th January 1994




AS men cavort superficially atop the skin of this Globe, held to a periphery thin-layered and pressured by the almighty sky above, their intrigues and consipirations adhere also to but an outer film: that exterial shell which is knowledge - that knowledge of this, the current World. Layered alike to the rippling rock, the fields of forces impose upon the men, superimposed - superlatively lapping in, wave upon wave, in many levels adjunct, seeping in and passing through this sphere.

You might travel to some exotic repose and sup on turtle soup, break bread that is leavened with gold dust, toast the peat moss and casually laugh as the foibles and follies are gradually disclosed and made much of. In company one may unwittingly confess to sundry dispositions- one dozen no less, all fascinatingly contradictory. Such is modern life and its accompanying bourgeois thought - the disclosures are believed to be real and of import, the fare more than sanitary, the dialogue amusing. Yes, the pursuits rival those of the catalog of spiritual precepts and comprehension of Christ - outweighed and out won in appearance, by superficiality.


However such superficiality is of itself superficial to the true man; and the veneerial [as in ‘veneer’] representation allows little disclosure of his heart's reasoning. The spiritual man seeks conformity whereby the outer life as lived is relaxed and responsive to the soul's indications. For some there may be an actual pain sensed when called to compromise in greater degree, when the will of the world contradicts the innermost higher motivations.

When we expel out from ourselves in breath and particularly voice, we are actively conjoining the forces of the soul-will with that of the ego anchored presently in amongst the world. The activity of exhalation and vocal exclamation is consistent throughout a man, even if the actual meaning of the words is less significant and the intention impotent. Nonetheless, the constitution is in line with the soul in this expression. It is a venturing into the world; something which must necessarily be improved upon and wholeheartedly affirmed, because without such a straight-through connection the being would withdraw and discarnate immediately. There must be some measure of consistency linking a man with his superficial existence.

The act of inhalation, and the concentration of listening or observing, 'listening visually', is likewise an act of congeniality between the superficial consciousness and the higher awareness within. Here the child takes back to the parent all that it has gleaned and seeks approval.

In many respects a man is sorely affected and afflicted by those immediate surroundings he is steeped within, and by the quality, ingenuity and moral fiber of the men and women he interacts with. For it does so happen, that continually he is obliged to return inwardly with those impressions, and by this he himself is colored within and without. These are but simple terms to put them in, but it is fact. Just as it has been proved afore that one should not house the criminally insane together, and as far as is possible, the sufferers of sickness, nor should one expose themselves to madness or folly, disreputableness or cheats, without following through with an absolution to remedy the insult, and a critical analysis which forgives the wayward but discerns the fault and folly.



There are many forms of absolution in which a man may cleanse and begin again. One such, sturdily empowered, is the aspect of Communion which releases the participants from the influences of the temporary world and its dross. However it befits a good opportunity right here to make a point of he who hosts the ritual: that he be beware not to poison the very water so enlivened because of the action within himself. For he who makes the utterances or clarifies the song, is outwardly active, whilst all others are immediately responsive; and because of the nature of this absolution, care must be observed as to the protection of the gathering - usually by earlier remonstrations and prayers devised by the officiator afore time.

In many respects men are protected from the consciousness of inner action. The amassing and congealing of each combustive particle, the mirror-celestial body as miniature and all of its constellations, the lights of intuition and comprehension as they dart here and there amongst the aura like an electrical storm - man is contained in his superficiality that he be saved from the overwhelming effects of inner experience.


In sleep it is true to say that he travels the starry courses. It is equally true to say that he travels inwardly to do so, amongst the mirror impression of his very own body - and that being the 'outer' gateway to the greater splendor which is above all else, above all else. This is a fine distinction, and true.


PREPARATION FOR COMMUNION


It is best that he/she be removed from the company just prior to the Communion. Whilst absent, there makes for good timing for prayers and quiet meditation, so that the gathering might prepare well for the vital supplication which is about to be administered. Set the mood, as they say.

It can be a time for personal thanksgiving and review, with the object to 'touch base' inwardly and allow the heart to open without reluctance or denial.

As for the host, there are many ponderances which may assist his intent; and also it must be added that he does not make appearance until he feels enabled to do so - that it is not to schedule or clock, but might be five minutes or five hours or even not at all, that he comes to the water of Christ and believes himself prepared and worthy to ask for such blessing.

He is mindful also of the great need with those who are in attendance, so much so that it is as a life and death wager - being the life of the soul renewed afore it dies to the world. For it is that we seek to combine with that Divinity which does inspire this transitory but obstinate world. We urge that the said combination revivify our beings and cleanse them completely. So, because of the outpouring - particularly in relation to the spokesperson involved - there is a need for prior absolution that the issue be uncontaminated during the Communion.

The first part of this is the extreme power of such conscious foreknowledge. In other words, as is often the case with all mystic actions, the knowledge marks the intent which governs and decrees the willed action, and in just by the knowing of the spiritual realities one is quicker to initiate and invoke them.

The second part portends to the actual substance with the prayers - to be pronounced out loud - as this will begin to be as enfleurage to the design, that he may purge sufficiently to be prepared.

1. Recite the Paternoster.


2. The Abscondance from Sin


Touch me not with your vile aberrations!
For I am made foreign to your deceit,
Your trickery, which curses all Men -
I do withstand your loathsome promptings
And contest the fickle demands
Of wickedness and its conceit -
And, for the sake of all Men,
I demand you to cease your illegal claim
And go to God for forgiveness and redemption,
This day.
I am surrendering my afflictions
And reckoning them to Christ
That He may deal with them;
Masterfully and completely.
SO BE IT.


Beloved Christ -
I abscond from all Sin as imposed or entertained,
And pray that you shall release all men, including myself,
From the terrors of spiritual death -
May we come to know and live Love in every breath,
In and exhaling,
This day.

AMEN

Paradise & Happiness- 26th January 1994

Beloved Child,
There is not one sadness known which is not also in greater measure known to Heaven - meaning that that which grieves a man is struck in the heart of an Angel until such a time as the Angel may bandage the complaint and make pure the vile affliction. For every impairing aggravation, every insult upon the soul of a man begs attendance alarmingly - quite so, as emphatically as the infant commands those hearts who hear his wails of helplessness.

The tragedies, the true element of, were brought into being as a certain condemnation of innocence. Innocence blithely protracted her way throughout the events of men, who were only impressed with the virtuous score - whilst at the same time disbarred their purities by such means as were correspondingly devilish; and there was not the function of clear-sighted comprehension to make comparisons.

Paradise in its original condition, welcomed all beings to converse openly. This was a conjunction, one of those conjunctions that entertained the spiritual beings visibly, clothing all with like substance and actually offering stimulation and supplication also. This was not just cordoned by man and his entourage- the familiar kingdoms (familiar, as in family); the original Paradise was famous for its diversity. 

Just as Persia in her eloquent prime gathered to herself every rich beauty found upon the Globe, Paradise imported every element of cosmic finery, accompanied by the unusual, the illustrious, the dainty and preferring; the proud (and justifiably so), the grand, the wild and intemperate; the man loving male - the irregular innovators who run and conspire contrary to the compelling law; the beings of organization and their brothers-in-law, the beings of chaos; while also, the forms of beauteous thought lay all around and coupled with the then, dreaming Man.

In its latter days, those which were to be the last, there became a veritable menagerie of contrasting speculations. Mankind was not without his 'elder brothers' then, for they had advanced, leading the procession through the gates of the old Moon and into the boundaries of the greater sphere of the Earth. They were there at the heralding - young Man did not venture in unaccompanied.

The substance in which Life cavorted, was far different to flesh and bone as is now. All was fluid: the dream substance which is by nature less disciplined but more elastic, is permanently changeable and tiresome to fix consciousness in. Men were however, entertained well.

Active participation, active measures of will and willing require the dual interaction of two corresponding and reactive parties. The dream consciousness which coincided with the conditions as experienced in Paradise, did not afford an actual participation as such - the impressions came and went in rich magnitude, but nonetheless were insubstantial to the sensibilities comprising a man. Fundamental challenges did not make issue. For example, there was no threat of consequence established in the then, naive psyche, and therefore no comprehension as to true relativity. 

Man could not fix his own position in relation to the entire world, and he 'floated' in and out of soul dreaming with no real demand for self concentration. The identity of men was all too easily confused also. The remarkable and fantastic qualities as brought to bear in the associate beings, were often so calculated and experienced as to be their own. This in itself was educating in part, but irregular to the inherent inclinations set within, to later become. The separation from the spiritual perception and the mingling with its fellows was the first grief of which Man turned within himself to search for what he had lost.

A mantle of certain refraction (certain, as in particular) was put upon the regions, enwrapping, enfolding the gentle world, with a newfound stability, an order, which became the physical existence. This order drew its inspiration from the etheric breath, and is maintained by all of those elements and forces which permeated the original Paradise. However, they are concealed in Physical Life, for otherwise each would be all too persuasive and bring ruin upon the now obstinate matter.

Sorrow and sadness warrant resolution, that they be administered to, that there is a need hitherto unanswered - that is what sorrow and sadness truly are. The actual experienced knowing of sadness is from the Greater Sadness as in the Father God Himself - or at least we presume so.

One would imagine that need was relative to time only, and in this one may be content eternally without the knowing of that hollow which is sadness. Philosophically there has always been the question: out from which inspires the greatest motivation, happiness or sadness? And it might well be reasoned that sadness provokes the spirit to make a change for that which would lean into happier circumstance. In filling the need (in the attempt also) we are active; whereas with no need there is no actual expansion. Or is there? This particular thought is an unanswerable. For it has also been observed that happiness by its nature is expansive, and does carry the spirit much further in the experience. 



There is a wonderful contradiction in Law - however, provided for - that serene contentment and all of its refractives, actually multiply and strengthen, and are the cosmic principles within the furtive scheme of propagation and renewal. In other words, Creation is formed by and around Happiness, in the literal sense. The ongoing Creation could not ceaselessly replenish her enthusiasm without this divine principle reality of true Happiness. It is the fulfilling principle, thus the Angels are motivated and sensitive to such inclination.

In a roundabout way one can begin to comprehend the need for need - the very polar opposite, as borne within the tragedies which later were to become known by Man. The purpose of sorrow was to intensify the clarity with each and every being, that they may come to fully realize what it is they inflict upon the outer world; how it is they inflict upon themselves, and decide accordingly what is proved to be needed by them for perfection. For it is the incorporation of such gravity of self - self centeredness in the correct and proper sense, rather than in the negative - which implies experience and profits by its virtues.

Each man compounds within. This is indisputable.

The 'dissolving' of self can only ever be apportioned lymphatically. A merger between individual souls becomes not as a 'dissolving' but rather as an incorporation, for identity therein is enhanced rather than forfeited. So too with one's merger with Christ willingly. And so it goes.
