NATIVE AMERICAN INDIANS & NATURE RELIGION

Q. Here is where my greatest growth is coming at this time. Your energy is allowing me to merge the American Indian teachings with my soul. Even though I am very close in heart to the Indian spirit, there was much (huge amounts) of programming and negative implants from my western "education" that conflicted with Indian teachings. Wakan Tanka (the Great Spirit) has led me to you so that I could meld the beauty of my red brother's teachings with the western world, and clear away the hidden blocks. I sense the New Earth that many shamans have predicted. For many years I saw the Indians being crushed by whites. Now I see that they (some only, as only a few Indians are spiritual, as with all races) were helping prepare a place for us, if we choose to join them. They were doing a wondrous task serving the Divine Plan. Do you feel this?

A. Yes. The North American Indians never lost the real battle to the white settlers. Theirs was a spiritual victory, and will soon be appreciated by all with eyes to see.

Q. Tears of Joy. Tears of remembrance. Thank you.

Today, in a twilight state from sleeping just before becoming fully conscious, I saw a great chief in pure buckskins (not white, but tan, yet unblemished, unsoiled) riding upon a horse at the top of a hill and circling about. His head was adorned with a huge war bonnet, with feathers streaming on either side (indicating a very great chief) and this is unusual for me to see because war bonnets are primarily plains Indians (Pawnee etc.) and I resonate more with other tribes such as Blackfoot and Cheyenne that didn't used to wear such gear.

As I looked down the hill I saw an endless stream of people in single file marching up the hill where the chief rode. Looking at the people closely, they were zombies, the walking dead. As the scene shifted, there was celebration of unbelievable proportions. I could not tell how many were at the party, for all were so close to me that I could not see beyond a few. It was as though they danced around a fire and I viewed them from the fire's perspective! Some were shaking their braids out of their hair and letting all the hair down! I thought briefly of you and felt a surge of energy. The vision showed shamans wearing long-worn looks of sorrow! Could there be a greater purpose than to lead the dead from their graves?

A. Briefly, just before the time of the destruction of Atlantis, the brotherhoods took the Ancient Wisdom to a place of safety. There were three different groups that each took responsibility for a different aspect of the Ancient Wisdom.

The first aspect to be saved/preserved was the nature religion. This has been expressed in shamanism, wicca, etc. to this day and it was the lesser aspect of the three.

The second brotherhood took an aspect to the Middle East, Egypt, etc., and this became the Kabbalah, Egyptian initiations/mysticism, Judaism, etc. This, in terms of vibratory frequency approaching Divinity, was a higher-level presentation of the Ancient Wisdom.

The third brotherhood went to the West and established what is today called 'The Western Occult Tradition'. This has manifested most recently in the work of the Theosophical Society, Djwhal Khul's teachings through Alice Bailey, the Agni Yoga of the Roerichs and, of course, the pure Gnosis. This aspect was the highest-level presentation of Truth to humanity. It is this tradition, handed down through the ages by initiates of the planetary Christ Hierarchy in secret, and just today the seed is about to bloom and give rise to an even higher presentation of the Universal Wisdom. (See 'New Teaching and a New Way' in Servers of the Divine Plan).

Consequently, everything is moving up, and the lowest expression - the nature religions - will peter out and die on this planet. They will have become redundant, for nature in the New World will be very different to what it has been in the past; much more etherealised.

All that is of use (of the nature religions) to the Divine Plan will be absorbed into the New Way, and will in this way disappear completely from the New Earth.

The reason that I tell you this in connection with your dream/vision is that this information came to me when reading about the shamans with their "faces of long-worn sorrow" and it was the highest impression that I received. Perhaps these shamans were sensing that they had become attached to a religion which is about to become obsolete. And perhaps they so cherished what they knew and were familiar with, that it was painful for them to think that they would have to continue their 3D lessons on another world, and so would not be graduating with the Earth.

You, too, of course, have spent incarnations with the Indians practicing the nature religion. I deem that one of your major responsibilities today in this, your potentially culminating incarnation upon Earth, is to sublimate all of your past experience of the nature religion into that which is new, appropriate and necessary for the progress of planetary and human spiritual development here on Terran.

Q. Many Indians appear to be nature worshippers or pantheists. However, a closer look will reveal that they are polytheists who have at the top of the hierarchy the Great Spirit. This Great Spirit goes by many names. The Lakotas call him Wakan Tanka, as do some other tribes. Under Wakan Tanka are many lesser beings, such as Skan or Motion, which Wakan Tanka used to set things spinning; and Tate or Wind born of Skan. In the Western Occult Tradition are there not beings in charge of motion and orbits, and are there not beings in charge of wind and climate? Are these not different metaphors for the same thing?

A. Yes.

Q. The Indians were greatly blessed because they did not have the limitation caused by a written language. Written language is one of the most controlling and insidious inventions ever foisted off on the human race. Westerners hold it out as a great step forward. Please, honestly ask yourself, would man be in such a spiritual cesspool if he did not have written language?

A. Yes. I see clearly. And some of the early 'savages' thought that they were being blessed by the paleface's knowledge of writing!

Q. Before there was written language, a father would pass down to his son the knowledge he had acquired. While fathers might have been ignorant, and therefore passed down bad information, this would have been done with good intent for the most part. With written language, however, fathers let the 'experts' record history and knowledge, and allowed their sons to receive lies from those who would later control the offspring. Propaganda became the name of the game of control.

Furthermore, with written language came alphabets and spellings and order, which are subject to a law of order mandating that ordered things such as alphabets go in cycles of nine. Once a few people learned of the cyclic affect of alphabets, they acquired power by using the same knowledge, and ultimately controlled the people. This law of cycles is deep into the heart of the Kabbalah, which by your explanation is closer to the Source, yet it was the vehicle for the literal enslavement of nearly the entire human race.

A. Hmm. I am listening intently, but do please know that the Kabbalah today is not the Kabbalah that once was. I said previously that what the brotherhoods took into the Middle East and Egypt etc. became the Kabbalah and the Egyptian mystery-school teachings. This problem of becoming is also the case with the Western Tradition, which today has, as usual on Earth, become diluted/corrupted in many ways. Finally, the pristine expression of the ancient nature religion was also corrupted by man, and today is practiced by the majority not in the way that was originally intended. This is why a brand new presentation of the divine Gnosis is currently being born and formulated in the minds and hearts of the new human race.

Q. The Indians were not subject to control by the law of order of alphabets. Therefore the ruling elite of the Indians did not have to lie about it and cover it up and keep the rank and file ignorant of this fact, hence the Indians were not so ignorant because of written lies as their literate counterparts and were much closer, therefore, to Wakan Tanka, who is not a nature god, but is in fact, All That Is.

A. Right. Good, clear and obviously true. Grandfather Spirit=Wakan Tanka=God=Universal Mind. However, most people today who think that they are practicing the true nature religion are not in alignment with Wakan Tanka, and this is because they are practising the diluted/imitation version of the original, just as the religious people are in the world, even the Buddhists and Taoists (two of the most difficult presentations of the Universal Doctrine to adulterate). Of course, when I say "the Buddhists, Taoists and religious people" I do not mean all of them, but rather the vast majority on Earth today who claim to be 'ists of any kind. In fact, if they were truly in alignment with the pure version of their chosen path/religion, then they would all recognize that they were simultaneously Buddhists, Hindus, Muslims, Christians, etc., all together, and so would not create separation by calling themselves this or that 'ist, which has been the cause of all 'religious' evil historically.

Q. Perhaps the indignant energy in my above expressions is too indignant. Emotional bodies are difficult to control and cause much anxiety. Maybe we both need a spiritual spanking for this one. What do you think?

A. Righteous indignation is not always a bad thing, but as ever, it has its higher correspondence that we should be aiming for. Namely - Divine Will.

Now I will clarify further what I meant previously about the early nature religion being the lesser presentation of the Ancient Wisdom.

The first original and pristine aspect of the Ancient Wisdom which has been termed 'the nature religion' by practical occultists, initiates and masters in the past was a system whereby man could approach Divinity and so Liberation via physical nature (the mineral, vegetable and animal kingdoms) and also by communing and working side-by-side with the elemental worlds that are the counterpart of these dense, physical manifestations.

Since Wakan Tanka is essentially present within all life, and what is focussed upon becomes real to the observer, the nature religions offered a focal instrument to God via the 'dream-stuff' of the lower worlds, i.e., physical, etheric and astral matter (but not mental). This was the predominant focus of the first aspect of the Ancient Wisdom, the nature religion: to utilize physical and astral phenomena in order to cultivate devotion, love, compassion and other spiritual qualities. This aspect was formulated especially for the younger souls in physical embodiment on Earth, and these infant-souls were naturally attracted to it.

The original nature religions are still practiced today by some sincere souls on Earth, and this may be observed amongst certain primitive tribes in South America, Africa, etc. This way of worship and movement toward reunification with God is often expressed as celebrations of the Earth-Mother, song, dance, prayer to the nature spirits and forces, music, and other miscellaneous pageantry. You will notice that the primitive tribes of which I speak are not intellectual by any means. They worship and evolve mostly by experiencing life on the physical, etheric and astral levels, and some of them are very good at it, too. What we are discussing here is the cradle of the most advanced shamanism demonstrated on Earth today. But we must not overlook the fact that if an original religion can be diluted and tainted by ignorant mankind, then it can also be sublimated and advanced by more enlightened human beings.

This is the crux for us today, for in your 'indignant' expressions above it would appear that you are speaking about the original nature religion...plus! That is to say that you are sensing a very real incompatibility with your partial understanding of what I said previously, and this is because your soul and many other Server-souls have been working hard over the millennia to sublimate and improve the basic nature religions by augmenting them with certain of the higher presentations of the One Universal Religion: GNOSIS.

Do you not see the same pattern of transmutation being expressed by all Servers upon all different levels from the densest physical to the highest plane of duality? Are you beginning to see how the One Work of planetary and human redemption is a pyramidal phenomenon? Can you also see this esoteric reality presented in the SDP illustration as colour?

The other two aspects of the Universal Religion that were taken to different geographical locations, were formulated for the older souls in physical incarnation on Earth. These (especially the Western Tradition) required a much more mental/intellectual disposition from its adherents than the nature religion, and the mental/causal plane is just beneath Christ-Consciousness in terms of vibratory frequency. Consequently, infant souls would not have been attracted to these more advanced systems.

Q. So you think that the Indian religions are nature religions, and not just pure polytheism which looks to the one Great Spirit?

A. Many are; others will be of a higher order, I am sure.

What I am saying above is that it may be your spiritual duty (program) to sublimate the basest and outmoded aspects of the 'Indian' religion (let us not forget that there are shamans all over the world) into that which is relevant to the new cycle for Earth. In other words, you are here to eliminate the non-essentials .

Q. Yes, I now understand. Thank you. I have been quite defensive here, and have learned a great lesson in pride as this was written. I realize that this was a great learning experience for this being, and while it would have been easy to have erased the words written, it is believed that many could benefit by seeing the foolishness of their own biases in my words. One must not blindly protect old dogma and prejudice, even if the dogma comes from deep within from past lives, it still must be shaken if we are to learn to love all and to move forward with the great stream of evolution...

A. Well said. An example: many religious people in East India (and there are many!) are putting a vast amount of energy into "preserving the Hindu heritage". While they are so preoccupied with the past, they are necessarily blinded to the fact that Brahman (one of their names for God) has very different plans today for this planet and human race! How disappointed they will become when they look down from the astral watchtowers after Judgement Day and observe how all their efforts have been for naught*.

* Well, not quite, for such souls are actually providing a service for the forces of crystallisation which, in turn, have a very important destructive job to do on the planet at this time.

NEW AGE GROUPS

Q. There are so many new age groups advertising themselves today, all with a slightly different focus, technique and teaching, that it is mind-boggling. How to tell who is and who isn't true? Is it such that the more established or older groups will be generally more reliable?

A. Until the heart is purified by earnest and selfless life-motivation, the aspirant is prone to be deceived.

Older and more established groups are often crystallized versions of the original thing. Any pure conduit for the Christ-Hierarchy on Earth always attracts the attention of the dark forces. Lucifer's most effective ploy is compromise over time. By attracting many people to groups and so creating mixed magnetisms, any radiatory-field that may once have been holy and pure becomes tainted. If the members of a group are compromised in their devotions and intelligent sacrifice to the Work of Christ, then an imitation version of the original radiation-field ensues. This is why, historically, true Mystery Schools have risen, fallen and reappeared in new forms, and this is why advanced Servers of the Divine Plan have incarnated today: to create the New World Mystery Schools. Unfortunately their work is also being compromised by the grasping habits of human nature, facilitated in no small way by the astral glamours of this world. Please read The Light Spirits, Human Love/Divine Love & Imitation Spirituality,  for further insight into this subject.
