| THY WILL, NOT MINE, BE
DONE
Q. Have you ever made a list of the sort of collaborators you seek? Why not use some of the laws of the universe to bring to you those whom you seek to further the Work? Perhaps I am being naïve, but the fact is, once you create a very detailed 'wish list' on paper, things start happening. A. Well actually the group-soul has already drawn up such a list. Remember: "In and of myself I can do nothing spiritually worthwhile". The collaborators required to bring the Christ-Spirit to this world must simply be pure in heart, and so love God that they are prepared to give everything that they have to the One Work, including their fallen microcosms. <>Timing is essential with regard to the Aquarian Passion Play. If I were to make a 'wish list' based on my own personal preferences, I would succeed only in getting in the way of the Work of Christ. "Using the laws of the universe" in an attempt to gain what I reason is good and right is the first step on the left-hand path. "Thy Will, not mine, be done."TIME TO GO THE PATH Q. Most educated and moral people know what we should do or think, but we should not expect our brain and body to change as quickly as our ideas do. A. Contact with Christ happens in an instant when insight, yearning and the correct attitude have been permanently established. Remember that there is no time in Christ-Consciousness. Jesus demonstrated instant and 'miraculous' healing as an example of this fact. Therefore, to put time constraints upon the Path is to feed the illusion of time and confuse ourselves further. Do you here discern the gravity of thinking in terms of time and self? This is how the whole of the fallen universe came into being. Q. I am noticing how, when sharing truth with others, I experience tingles in various places and sometimes in all of the body. Can you comment? A. There are
various kinds of body-tingles. The more uplifting and inspiring kind is
usually an indication that the Spirit is taking an interest in the
other party with whom you are sharing and/or that which is being
communicated. Generally, the more intense the tingles, the more
interested is the Spirit and consequently the more of its energy will
be received via the personality. However, tingles do not necessarily indicate the sincerity or level of spiritual attainment of the person with whom they are connected. I have tingled before with black magicians and other individuals who were decidedly not pure in heart. Energy from the higher worlds may flow through a person's lower vehicles of consciousness (for example, the astral body) because the person is clear and open in some part of that body. Therefore, tingles are not necessarily a spiritual experience; they may be just psychic. Sometimes tingles may be experienced merely as a biological symptom of positive anticipation. When in communion that is truly holy, tingles may launch one into a state of joy and divine reverence. Generally, if you tingle while speaking a heartfelt and spiritual truth with another, it indicates that that person is receiving the vibration within your words, while speaking that same truth to others and experiencing no tingles with that person suggests that they are blocked and less open. Experience alone can help us to recognize the nature, quality and significance of the different types of auric sensations. From Servers of the Divine Plan:
Q. Today all I could think about was how mundane and boring everything was. I don't want anything physical anymore. I want to tingle all the time. A. When a man becomes spiritual, the fallen world of ego and materialism will reject him as he must reject the world. On our program/mission, the higher tingles and more are guaranteed in active outgoing service to receptive candidates for the return Journey. However, we have not come to Earth merely to tingle with each other or have mystical ecstasies! The infusion of divine Energy may be seen as a kind of a reward from Spirit, but we must remember always that Christ is concerned with the largest harvest possible and not with how much we like to tingle. "Feed my lambs!" Q. When multitudes of aspirants have struggled for eons to understand Truth, to unite with Christ and to serve, how can one such as I be of any use to God. How can I possibly purify in time to help my beloved humanity in this round? A. Purity of motive is all that is required to forge ahead in service and so play a part in the Aquarian Passion Play. From the divine contact engendered by active spiritual service in the world, further purification, expansions of consciousness and revelation may be known. Purification cannot ensue without selflessness. So kick that doubt-fairy out of your auric field, turn to your own divine soul and stay turned. Every thought for future and for the lower self will invite delusion to gain a firmer hold on your consciousness. Lucifer is the creator of time and space and of the lower self. We, as Gnostics, have no business with him. Since you have now understood the nature of Lucifer and evil, you may forget your self completely, and just go forth in helpfulness as you are able. Q. There is so much work to do, and I've so much to purify. A. Such ideas are not divine; they do not come from your divine Spirit. Therefore, it would be expedient to discard them immediately and simply continue with your rediscovery of the Truth for now. Later, you may become so absorbed in the Work and in Service that you will have no time to entertain doubts. This is humanity's passport out of the fallen world. Q. In order to walk the True Path is it necessary to give up habits such as smoking and drinking? A. As well as the commonly-understood side-effects, the etheric emanations created from the use of tobacco and alcohol summon vampiric and degenerate elementals and spirits to their feeding grounds. However, enforced abstinence from such habits is not always a good idea. If we look to our own divine Soul in obedience and consecration to what is Good, Right and True, these habits will fall away by themselves without undue attention. Q. A couple of days ago I may have felt the divine spark in my heart. I would like to get started with getting that fire through my thyroid gland into my pineal gland and ignite the light and then send it down to the bottom of my spine and so forth. A. Do not try. Let Christ do the work in and through you. Just love humanity and "feed my lambs". The transfiguristic process will, as it must, unfold naturally and automatically; it cannot be forced and the 'I' can have nothing to do with it. Once we have understood the process intellectually, we need not think about transfiguration anymore; to do so will only tempt the 'I', but instead just forge ahead in selfless service to the soul of humanity. Q. We are brothers. I trust that you get that? A. If we did not
identify inclusively with the Unity of Life, we would not be
engaged in the work to which we have consecrated ourselves. All divine Souls are One. Being One means no
separation, while 'brothers' are still individuals (plural). Our
thinking and speaking programs our consciousness. So perhaps you might
understand why we choose not to see you as a brother, but as our very
own SELF. From Servers of the Divine Plan:
We would invite you to become One. This happens in an instant when our cup has been completely drained of everything of self. Q. I would like to share all of what I am learning with friends. However, I am unsure whether they will understand. A. Keep your
focus one-pointed and uncompromising - like a laser-beam - if you would
connect with those who are ready to truly give of themselves for the
One Divine Work and so are able to rise above the forthcoming great
battle of Armageddon. Do not dilute the naked Truth in order to appeal
to personalities and so maintain your popularity with 'friends,' for
this spells compromise and failure as far as the real Work is
concerned. In these climactic and revealing times everyone will
discover who their true friends are. Q. I am a healer and I would like to share with you a dream I had. In this dream, I was sitting at the feet of a lofty personage. (You know how in dreams you just get a sense of the reality of these things?). He was very bright and radiated simple wisdom and love. He seemed to understand my problems and spoke to me gently in reassuring tones. This is what he said:
Once we have firmly consecrated ourselves thus truly religiously, our karma will surface at full speed. But this is not a dreadful experience, because as the karma surfaces, it is replaced by the light of the divine Soul, and so blessedness is known. Therefore, just like St. Francis, we may rejoice at our release and so praise God. Saintliness (and
therefore freedom) is an attitude, not an attainment! Freedom is also
realized through an attitude; it has nothing to do with time or
personal healing.
I then woke up feeling more refreshed, alive and vitalized than ever before! I feel that I am now healed, and that I never need to keep myself sick again by thinking the way I have been over the years and probably over lifetimes! I have remembered that it is God who heals, in a moment when we let go of our false beliefs. Oh what joy I now feel in my life, and more, so much More. . . . A. What an enlightening dream; a peak experience. Q. Well, firstly I did not wish to share the dream in order to blow my own trumpet, but instead to show how simple, complete and instantaneous true healing, which is soul-healing, can be. Recall how Jesus demonstrated the same. I am finding that in self forgetfulness, a wondrous vitalizing spiritual energy-flow passes through my heart and draws forth a response from the soul of others. Therefore it appears that there is no further personal healing necessary for me as long as I proceed to love others. What is given by God must be shared or it is lost, and we all have God inside of us, so we have all already been given, just by the fact that we are alive. And as long as one puts others first, this spiritual fire grows and glows more and more brightly, and there is no concern for personal healing, for the personality disappears - in Love. |
