Q. I have one lingering question about the human microcosm.. I could not understand whether the microcosm contains the divine spark, or not. I know it is located right by the heart, but is this divine spark inherent in the human being or carried to the human when the microcosm envelops it?
A. Firstly, let us remember always that concepts falsify reality. They are merely symbols, indicators, signposts to something, which is not comprehensible by the mind.
You may regard the human microcosm or soul as a vehicle into which the divine spark incarnates. This vehicle contains the 'memories' of all its previous experiences, and therefore all of its karmic merits and demerits. When transfiguration of the fallen microcosm occurs, it dissolves completely and a new, divine microcosm is born - hence the Doctrine of Transfiguration is also known as the Doctrine of Rebirth.
Q. Dealing with human personalities, even with the best intentions, with such a laser-like spiritual focus can sometimes lead to extreme words and harsh conclusions. It is hard for me to be telling you these things because I've come to highly respect you and your extremely beautiful and profound teaching, and I'm just a green neophyte with so much to learn and discover that questioning your perspective is - how should I say - like trying to oppose or question openly the infallibility of the Pope, if you see what I mean and how I feel.
A. Do not respect me (a personality characteristic); God is no respecter of personalities. Love only the Truth. If you do not, then you will never find it and you will never be free. We must be looking up and out in the same direction. Only thus may we serve the world together; but never as personalities.
Sometimes words are used by a teacher in order to bring
dysfunctional patterns to the surface-awareness that would otherwise
retard or even prevent one's forward progress into the light of Day.
Everything of the lower self must be exposed and resolved before true,
divine group-unity can be realized.
Q. ..."When the student is ready, the Master appears"...the "student" is humanity, and they have no choice but to be "ready" on this eve of world calamity...
A. We are all
students of something Greater, forevermore. Such acknowledgement
constitutes true Humility and so allows divine unfodlment to proceed
unimpeded. If 'I' believe that I am a teacher of anyone, then I am also
a fool. It does not take a great prophet to clearly discern at this
late stage that the masses will not be ready to partake in The Rapture on Judgement Day.
Therefore the masses do not have to choose to be ready, but they do
have a choice nonetheless, for we are in the end times.
