UFO'S AND OTHER DISTRACTIONS

Q. Please tell me what you think of the information contained in the accompanying attached document [re: UFO's] which I just read tonight. Are these related in any way with the 'forces of deception' you mentioned in your last letter to me?

A. In answer to this last question, and since you appear to like Yogananda, let me tell you a little-known story about him.

When Paramahansa Yogananda was once in one of his ashrams in Twenty-Nine Palms, California, he observed how one of his disciples was rather obsessed with UFO's. Now, you may be aware that there has been much UFO activity in certain desert areas of western USA since the 1940's, and probably even before that.

So Yogananda, using his powerful will, decided to settle the matter with this disciple, once and for all.

One evening he said to the interested party, "Take a look out the window". As she did so, several UFO's appeared right in front of the ashram in clear view for all to see.

It is with a similar sentiment that I respond to your UFO report, which I could not bring myself to read due to its dead, intellectual and thoroughly superficial vibration.

As I have said before, no amount of phenomenal enquiry/interest will ever set us free. Indeed, such a phenomenal focus will ensnare us deeper in the illusion.

Remember the ancient Chinese curse: "May you live in interesting times."

Today, during the dawn of the new era, most people are becoming 'interested' in and all too excited about the multifarious distractions that are of absolutely no moment whatsoever to the goal of mankind's Liberation. And so, once again today, teh greater portion of humanity demonstrates its lemming-psychology, while simultaneously and unwittingly missing completely today's glorious opportunity which, nonetheless, shall continue to be available to most for a little while longer.

UNCOMPROMISING INFORMATION

Q. I have noted how you can cut to the bone with your information. However, do you not find that your uncompromising way of writing/speaking frightens some people off? It can appear quite cool and unloving to the sensitive heart.

A. The reason we are so incisive and uncompromising in our presentation of the truth of the times is because we are here to aid in the awakneing aspect of the world-transition, and also because time is running out for the slothful who have very real potential for Harvest (as do you). We have no more time to stroke egos or to walk on eggshells in order to attract the sensitive, the sentimental or those who place conditions upon their seeking of Truth. We seek mature souls, preferring to leave the wounded to other Servers who are here specifically to help at that level.

It is the most excruciating experience for us to witness souls fall yet again, probably (for most) for many thousands of years of physical-plane suffering (not on Earth but elsewhere), when they could have been salvaged, not least because we have watched the same movie too many times on this planet. I cannot begin to express in words the spiritual anguish felt by the Universal Fellowship of Christ at such an unfortunate outcome. Hence the frequency of Truth which we have been commissioned to radiate here on Earth is presently intensifying. Yet this will never affront anyone who is really serious about the Goal, and therefore who loves the Truth (God) with all their heart.

The vibration of the New Spirit which we are helping to birth serves to separate the wheat from the chaff. The reason that you are not warmed by the naked truth of the hour is because we have not come to affirm the gross illusions of the world-ego to which you have become quite attached, familiar and comfortable; we have come to firstly destroy. Jesus expressed a similar divine sentiment when he said: "I come not to bring peace, but the sword."

This is the Sifting Time; you knew that before you incarnated here on Earth, and that is why you incarnated. Please do ponder on this. "The Sheep will find their places on the right, the goats upon the left, and every man will know his place." - Jesus' prophecy for today.

We are here to open up the Way to New Life; in a similar manner to the great (yet lesser) mission which was so dutifully and perfectly performed by the man, Jesus; but the unprecedented power of the Group-Avatar/Christ today is able to open a much wider portal than did Jesus 2,000 years ago, and this is the case in order that a far greater number of souls may enter the Kingdom. This is, of course, the Deliverance which has been promised Earthbound humanity for ages.

Having said that, please know that our focus is: i) cosmic, ii) galactic, iii) solar, iv) planetary, v) human vi) animal, vii) vegetable, viii) mineral - in that order of importance. In other words, there is much more happening in this galaxy today and which includes Gaia than merely humanity's great opportunity. We are about to see the consummation of a solar initiation, and nothing can stop it. This is just one of the reasons why there is so much interstellar attention presently being given this tiny planet at the edge of the local Milky Way.

Now, all this may seem to you a bit much to accept/digest for the moment, and I would therefore remind you of the Law of Cause and Effect, and I would also assure you that nothing happens by chance. In other words, you may wish to reflect deeply upon the reason that the above information is so freely being given to you at this late stage of the preparation period.

Finally....generally upon Earth it is only when we experience, through ample suffering, that there is no happiness to be found in this world of desire and self-seeking that we turn wholeheartedly to the divine Spirit and call sincerely for help. When we convince that Spirit that we wish to live, as we are able, in alignment with the highest purposes of the evolutionary current, then assistance is conferred from the unseen worlds.

When you have decided that you have experienced enough pain, loneliness and misery, you may wish to look up, where you will find our helping hand still outstretched and waiting, in exactly the same place as it is now. We pray that you will not choose to tarry too much longer.

UNCONDITIONAL CONSECRATION

Q. I wish to consecrate myself to this Work but I first have many loose ends to tie up with friends and family.

A. True consecration happens in an instant and is unconditional. If Truth and the Work have not yet become your sole purpose in life, then you are not yet consecrated and it is likely that your 'I' will continue to delude you by procrastinating the One Thing Needful on into the future.

There is not one moment to lose. If you wish to make a vital and lasting contact with the Christine Field (from where you may help others more than ever before) then you will need to quicken your consciousness. In order to do this you must love the Truth with all your heart. If you do not love the Truth above all else and therefore if you do not gravitate upwards into the Ark (which is now preparing to leave for the New World), then all your compromised ministrations will come to naught in the Great Light that is about to engulf all ignorance and evil on planet Earth.

"A multitude of people followed Jesus and the master said to them, Behold, for you are followers for selfish gain. If you would follow me in love, and be disciples of the Holy Breath, and gain at last the crown of life, you must leave all there is of carnal life behind. Be not deceived; stay, men, and count the cost. If one would build a tower, or a home, he first sits down and counts the cost to be assured that he has gold enough to finish it. For well he knows that if he makes a failure of his enterprise he may lose all his wealth, and be the butt of ridicule. And if a king desires to take the kingdom of another king, he calls his trusted men, and they consider well their strength; he will not measure arms with one of matchless power. Count well the cost before you start to follow me; it means the giving up of life, and all you have. If you love father, mother, wife or child more than you love the Christ, you cannot follow me. If you love wealth or honour more than you love the Christ, you cannot follow me. The paths of carnal life do not run up the mountain side toward the top; they run around the mount of life, and if you go straight to the upper gate of consciousness you cross the paths of carnal life; tread in them not. And this is how men bear the cross; no man can bear another's cross. Take up your cross and follow me through Christ into the path of true discipleship; this is the path that leads to life. This way of life is called the pearl of greatest price, and he who finds it must put all he has beneath his feet." - The Aquarian Gospel of Jesus the Christ.

We are rapidly approaching a period of the end of this major world-cycle, where it will not be possible to have one foot in the New World and one in the old. The new planetary life-field is now being completed; the Ark is preparing to sail. The outer portals are closing, which means that anyone who is compromising in their livingness, that is to say, anyone who attempts to serve two masters, will necessarily miss the opportunity for Harvest. As the planetary deadline draws ever nearer, and having not taken advantage of the presently-offered grace of an eon, laggards will have to jump very high indeed in order to scale the outer barrier and so gain access to the Ark before it sails for the New Kingdom.

Do you think that Christ would refrain from entering our world right now this minute if we were ready - if we made ourselves ready? Think about the suffering that could be avoided if the Christ-Consciousness were welcomed here today by humanity. Why wait?

Q. But surely all is going according to plan?

A. We live in a free-will system, which means that Liberation is dependent upon our choices. Did the Essenes, for example, wait to live the truly holy life in group-communion because they believed that "all was going according to plan"? Did the original and classical Rosicrucians fail to fuel the spiritual fire of the Gnosis on Earth because they felt that intelligent haste was unnecessary? Did the Manicheans falter in treading the path in group unity in order to 'tie up loose ends' with their friends and associates first? And did the Cathars remain in separation, going forth as extremely limited personalities who could do no real good in the world alone?

No. Immediately they understood the need for unity consciousness, they united. And the results of such wise action - their 'secret treasures' - are still inspiring and helping mankind today.

Q. Thank you for reminding me of the urgency, because, as you know, I still have not been able to focus 100% on this awakening process, though I am dedicating more and more of my attention to it.

A. If you do not focus 100% on it, if you do not love the Truth with all your being, then you will never find that Truth - ever, and as long as you do not find the Truth you will not be free.

I would warn you at this late stage of the day about getting involved with anything of the old world, including those people who are immersed in it themselves. Remember also that this is the time of The Quickening and so everything is intensifying and speeding up. Servers have incarnated not to try to destroy the old world by criticizing it, but to let it decay and die whilst helping to build the New World. Any focus upon that which is already dead as far as Divinity is concerned will weigh us down, and we need every last kilojoule of energy to construct the Ark. Soon enough it will become too painful for us to even think of the old world consciousness or, indeed, anything and anyone connected with it.

UNITY

Q. So what you are saying is that it's ok for groups to come together in mutual purpose, as long as they understand the Truth that brings them together?

A. We may only truly unite in selfless consecration to the One Soul - Christ - in all. We must be very unconditionally dedicated. Essentially, we must have already been touched by the Gnosis, for without knowing a certain level of truly divine experience, human beings are prone to go forth based on a theory of love and service which is most often but an idealistic effort based upon an underlying desire for self-gratification, personal liberation and the like.

UNPRECEDENTED GRACE

Q. Thank you for the insight about the glimpse of the next higher evolvement after the Harvest (whether stuck in 3D or elevated to 4th, 5th or higher). That clarifies to me what the illusion of hell actually is. In fact, it blazed it into my being. There can be no wiser purpose than to climb as high as allowed at this upcoming portal!

A. Yes, and the most blessed reality is that absolutely every sane human being can receive the unprecedented grace of this time and return Home if only they would choose to walk the True Path in surrender, humility and sincerity. This is why the Servers are here today. This is how the Christ 'dies for our sins'; the Christ-Consciousness on Earth (Love) is a veritable vacuum for mankind's evil karma. But Christ will never coerce the lambs of God to relinquish their pain and misery, for free will - being an intrinsic law of this world-system - must ever be honored.

USUI, REIKI AND PERSONAL HEALING

Q. You mentioned that you knew of Mikao Usui, his quest and his success. What can you tell of him? What was his degree of success? What was the nature of his death, i.e., natural or transcendent?

However, to God, one devotional yearning from the spiritual heart is worth more than a billion intellectual queries of this nature, and the Law of Love assures us that much more will be revealed to us in response.

Q. I began to suspect several years ago that what I learned and what is currently being taught as Reiki was NOT what Usui had done. I began searching to resolve this issue. Initially, I thought the problem was due to the incredible flood of people thinking that they were masters of something in a day or a week or even a few months. It didn't take long to discover that even many of the supposedly authentic masters fell far short of Usui's ideal.

A. In order to practice Reiki as Usui did, one must pass the same initiations as he did. Such initiations cannot be purchased for money and with only a few weeks of preparation as so many hopeful Reiki students appear to believe. Neither are the vast majority of human beings willing or capable of passing the rigorous trials that Usui did and so earn access to certain levels of higher awareness.

Q. What I believe happened is that Usui very probably did teach the Gnosis but that the line of Takata (which is the single source for virtually all Reiki now in the world including much of what is in Japan today) did not, for whatever reason...

A. If this is indeed the case, then it would appear that the Takata line lost sight of Usui's Temple-building and became attached to one of the tools that he used to construct it. A bit like what happens to religion, eh?

Q. ...I had, as a result of this decided that I would let my membership in the Reiki Alliance lapse and that I would inform them of that decision immediately after this coming weekend. This timing was based on the fact that I had committed to teaching a 2nd Degree Reiki away at a remote site and the students had been promised Reiki Alliance certificates. Part of my decision for leaving the alliance in addition to the above was that I found the students cared too much about certificates rather than the spirit of Service...

A. This is a worldwide problem; the 'I' grasps at results for itself. Perhaps Reiki should never have been given to an uninitiatable humanity. Perhaps Takata is as karmically bound as many other misguided teachers today who offer certain advanced spiritual techniques to anyone who will listen and pay.

Q. ...Both in the Bible and 'The Aquarian Gospel of Jesus the Christ', there is clear mention of Jesus and the disciples doing healing work outside of their teaching ministries. In the Aquarian Gospel there is clear discussion of Jesus learning and practicing healing before coming to the realization that True Healing is derived only from the Word. Also in the Aquarian Gospel there is discussion of Jesus using such things as herbs and oils in his healing, even after beginning to gather the disciples...

A. The oils etc. were used by Jesus in order to bolster the faith of those who required it. It is ever divine Grace, attracted through Faith and purity of heart, that truly heals.

Q. ...The point here is that Jesus apparently felt that personal healing was of service to humanity even given that he was teaching that the only True Healing was renouncing the world and seeking God...

A. Compassion will always seek to aid temporal suffering, but the alleviation and even the complete cessation of suffering is not the Purpose of life in the fallen world.

I am not suggesting that you should stop giving Reiki (healing), but such things should ever be secondary to the Path, to the Goal itself. Upon its life-review in the astral world after this sigh of an incarnation, which will your soul find more satisfying do you think: the reminiscence of giving out a hundred or a thousand Reiki certifications, or providing just one soul with the Knowledge, Keys and Impetus to go the Path of Return?

Q. ...It seems to me that the issue of doing healing work is one of approach, not the act itself. If the healing is self-less then it is of service. If it is from ego, then it is binding.

A. It is thus simple, but the road to hell is paved with good (selfless but ignorant) intentions. What is regarded as selfless and true by many people is often tainted by ulterior, subconscious motives. The saint who serves selflessly will often not be personally aware of his own ministrations because there will be no self-consciousness.
