THE ALTERNATES IN THOUGHT This Universe is a disciplined Universe. When we apply ourselves to the Law of Discipline, we are renewing and refreshing our spirit, that it might work with the whole Omnipresence in us. Due to the downpull of gravity in the earth, the average person experiences thought in a pendulum-like fashion, alternating between the inverted and the creative. Inverted or negative thought is gravity thinking and is subjected to cyclic timing and the wills of others. Creative thought is beyond Time and Space and is timed to the soul’s rhythmic action. Inverted thought persisted in over lengthy periods results in destruction. Inverted patterns of thought consistently expressed create havoc and distress, disrupting society and environment. Creative thought fulfills the Law of Harmony. All creative thoughts correlate to the Creation of God. In the lesser aspects of thought, the cunning thinker seeks the psychical way; the manipulative thinker seeks the phenomena way. Thought fostered by acquisitiveness or cupidity is of the cunning or lesser mind. From this proceed pain, disillusion and self-disgust. Manipulative thought is a product of an inertia devoid of soul-insight; a manipulative thinker seeks to gain by non-earning, or to attach himself parasitically to the creative ideas of others. All lesser aspects of thought are limited and partial. In the higher aspects of thought, the illumined thinker is at one with the germinal quality of the soul, and his creative ideas are renewed thought by thought. In both the lesser and higher aspects, thought is creative. Inverted thought is demonstrable. When a person thinks invertedly, he creates destruction. Creative thought produces manifestation and transubstantiation. When a person thinks creatively, he communes and harmonizes with the Will of God. To express the highest ideas as related to God, thought must be wholly selfless. Inverted thought is of the lesser self and preserves only the self-will. Inverted thought is limited to self- centeredness and personality preservation, and inevitably attracts events of discordance and inharmony. Creative thought is selfless thought devoted and dedicated to God. There are left-hand and right-hand ways of thinking. Inverted thought is the left-hand way of thinking; creative thought is the right-hand way of thinking. The student of the higher life seeks to transpose his thought into the right-hand way of thinking or creative thought. In inverted or left-hand thinking, thought works in cycles of repetition. In right-hand thinking, thought works in rhythms of recapitulation. For example, in inverted thinking the senses use the law of repetition through which a person is painfully taught day by day. In creative thought, the soul, working with rhythmic recapitulation, continues to return certain creative and spiritualized ideas until, through dedication, the mind becomes receptive to these greater and immortal ideas. Inverted thought sets up a chain of circumstances that dominates the habit patterns of life. Thus, he who would work creatively with the spiritual or higher aspects of the mental triad atoms should begin now to organize the ebb and flow within his thoughts. Through Christ, we make the Holy Vow of Right Discipline as far as it is in our power and will. We may be led astray by old habits, but will always be brought back by that same commanding force of the Constant of God in us.
THE CHAKRA WHEELS The chakras are energized, whirling vortices of consciousness. The chakras are extended soul-power wheels. The soul-power in each chakra seeks to free the superconscious aspect of the soul. The soul is Eternal; the chakra-wheels in each person are as old as the soul. As the soul is deathless, so is the power turning the wheels of the chakras deathless. The chakra wheels are starlike, formed over the aeons beyond the counting time of the lesser mind. They are an interconnected bridge-work structured as transcendental-energy spherical vortices made by the Eternal One, that the Self-Light and the Soul-Light be forever maintained. The kundalini is the lightning rod of the will; the kundalini electrified chakras furnish the soul-movement processes to develop soul-powers and soul-functioning. Kundalini-chakra sensitivity is always present and active in the spiritually-inclined person. The number one chakra in the etheric body begins at the end of the spine, and contains the curled kundalini fire waiting to rise to the crown of the head, that one may be spiritually illumined. Its negative aspect is lust. The sense correlating to this wheel is the sense of smell. The second wheel or chakra is located along the spinal etheric canal directly above the pelvic bone. Its function is to keep alive the sexual propagation impulse in the biological life. This works through the gonad and ovary systems of men and women. One purifies this wheel or chakra by drawing up the life force centered therein to the heart, which develops an ojas or great spiritual strength in creations. The negative aspect of the chakra is anger. The sense correlating to it is taste; its element is water. The third wheel or chakra relates to the area between the navel and just below the heart. This is the center of the solar plexus and pertains to seeing or vision due to the sun’s fire gathered in this area or chakra. The negative aspects of this center are greed, ambition. The element is fire; the sense correlating to it is sight. Prayer on the knees opens the great-golden Will-Center Chakra directly between the solar plexus and the heart. Prayer on the knees produces a form of Illumination that can be attained in no other way. The fourth chakra is centered in the heart. This is the center of touching or of empathy generated by selfless love. Its negative aspect is delusion. Its element is air; the sense correlating to it is touch. The fifth wheel or chakra is centered in the center of the neck just below the hollow of the throat. This is the great Nadam center where the Hum of the Divine may be contacted. This wheel is the wheel of Logos. To speak a mantra, such as So Hum, opens this chakra. As the sacred Hum is uttered, one frees himself from karma. The element correlating to it is hearing. The negative aspects are envy, pride. The sixth chakra situated between the eyebrows is the command center where one combines with Audible Sound Current and Supreme Consciousness. Superconsciousness mind is free through this command center. The element correlating to this center is the Moon-and-Sun androgynous fiery akasia working with the pranic life-currents. When one opens this chakra, he overcomes the dualistic aspects of his nature and makes union with the Supreme One. The negative aspects of this chakra are hypnotic suggestion or abuse of willing. In its highest aspect one uses the higher extrasensory perception. The seventh chakra is the wheel or center of the great AUM, or the thousand-petaled lotus. This is also the bliss center of supreme blessings. Its element is pure spirit. Its center is the pineal gland. The sense correlating to this is prescience or Christ-Consciousness. Its negative aspect is atheism. In the great AUM chakra residing over the soul’s pulsation centered over the crown of the head, one makes union through his Higher Self with the Supreme One or God. Each higher chakra has a Sattvic Point, which is love, peace, serenity. The sushumna cord or central vein of kundalini feeds and nourishes the Ida-and-Pingala nadis working as the Yin and Yang polarity balancers. These feed the Sattvic. The most central Atom in each chakra enables even those having the darkest dark in the consciousness to receive in some degree the Holy Nectar from the Soul and from God.
TEACHING THE WORD You enslave the minds of men with the letter, but you free the minds of men with the Word. One uses transcendental powers through the Word. On the physical plane, these powers become supernatural. Miracles occur when one receives direct experience within the Word – and therefore communicates the grace within unitive-knowledge of God. One cannot teach the Word save he has experienced God as the Word. A Teacher of the Word does not teach with an academic tongue. He transmits the Word through the power of transmission. He who has the transmission power teaches the Curing Word, as did Jesus, whose words will abide eternally. “Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.” (St. Matthew 24:35) Anyone having a love of power for self is going to be tested by the seducing powers of the sub-human level in the astral world. These sub-human former unethical persons of the earth, no longer able to reincarnate, are seducers, testers of the glamor side or fantasy-wishes of anyone aspiring to the spiritual life. At all times, one should give praise to God as the Source. To exorcise and cast out sub-human telepathies of seduction, one should avoid hunger for flattery. He who involves himself in supports of flattery and desires to receive without earning, and seeks to bend the Law to his desires, comes under the influence of sub-human seductive telepathy. Honest praise is pure, and comes naturally as a result of service to the Word. To linger upon the sense of gratification produces the inflated ego, which is the field of play for the sub-human inferences. The only idolatry existing is self-love. To make an idol or to deify oneself is to cast a shadow rather than produce the Light. The Kingdom of Light casts no shadow. It is ruled by God Who is the Light. As long as the disciple must work in the phenomenal world, he will be exposed to the shadow and the Light. Until he gains the Light Current or Mind in Christ in him, he will cast a shadow rather than bring the Light. A true transmitter of the Light brings the Light rather than the shadow or reflection of the Light. As long as one is but a reflection of the Light, he will give instruction in part. Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the Word of the Lord may have free course, and be glorified. -2 Thessalonians 3:1
NIGHT-FLIGHT AND DREAM-LIFE In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falleth upon men, in slumberings upon the bed; then he openeth the ears of men, and sealeth their instruction. -Job 33:15,16 The sleeping state of dream-life in night-flight is the first speaking to man from the Higher Self. When the to-be disciple continues in a rhythmic practice and alignment in meditation, his dream-life becomes a reality, having a language of its own. With recognition and obedience to this over-direction from the Higher Self, the disciple will begin to experience in his dream-life a coherent drama of pictured dreams, which relate him to the symbology of his karma and also to the symbology of his experience within the night-flight. Often in dream-life the lesser disciple may receive a warning pertaining to an accident, being alerted by the Higher Self. The dream, while not wholly coherent when brought forth on the morn, is sealed in as an apprehension, and is the means of alerting him and preventing him from tragedy in karma. The more highly evolved disciple retains the memories of the work he has accomplished in the night-flight in the Spiritual Worlds. This gives him a continued and coherent telepathic penetration into an extended orbit of his work and action throughout the day. Before going to sleep, every one who ministers for God, should speak to Him and say: If it is the Will of Christ Jesus, send to me the God-sent who know there is a mission. Let me be a Teacher of honor and integrity in every way of distributing Thy Powers. And let me always ask nothing to claim for myself in the way of self-glorification.
THE BHAKTI ANOINTING
Bhakti is the Sanskrit word for Devotion, Intuition, Love and Love-Wisdom. The New Testament refers to the Bhakti Anointing as the receiving of the Holy Ghost. (St. John 20:22) The Bhakti Anointing comes to one who puts God before family, friends, self. The Bhakti Anointing is the Divine-Marriage Anointing. The Bhakti Anointing is received by the devotee of tried and proven reverence, love and devotion. The Bhakti Anointing is union with the Abiding Presence of God. The Bhakti Anointing makes of one a Teacher of Truth, for to be united with the Presence of God is to be filled with the Truth. The Bhakti Anointing enables one to live in an expanding State of Grace. The Bhakti Anointing produces unceasing inspirations, realizations, prophecies, revelations. The Bhakti Anointing perpetuates the Gift of Healing Love, and one heals through the light of sanctified virtues. “And the whole multitude sought to touch Him: for there went virtue out of Him, and healed them all.” (St. Luke 6:19) The Bhakti Anointing brings forth the Christ Mind and the Christ Heart. Thus, he who receives the Bhakti Anointing serves all and is partial to none, loves all and is prejudiced toward none, gives all and remains continually provided for by the Omnipresent One. The Bhakti Anointing is the Gateway to Eternal Life. He who abides in the Eternal God abides in Eternal Life – and the Spirit of God’s Eternal Truth abides in him. The Bhakti Anointing is the Gateway to Cosmos. The Stars and the Galaxies no longer appear as distant universes; they are as close as the cells in one’s blood, the atoms in his body – for the Light of God lighting all celestial bodies is the same Light lighting those who have received the Bhakti Anointing. Love is the magnet for God’s blessings.
THE LEARNING PROCESS
Even as God’s Plan calls for a night and a day, so does His Plan provide dark energies and Light energies. Dark energies are potential Light energies because of the atoms of God’s Spirit within all energy-processes. Man is in an eternal state of Learning. Each person is learning either from the Antichrist about dark energies or he is learning from the Christ about Light energies. Wherever there are the heavy, gross energies of anti-virtues, the Antichrist is the dark teacher. Wherever there are the soul-energies of virtues, the Christ is the Light Teacher. In the Learning Process, it is essential that each individual being created in the Image of God learn what not to do and what to do. For this important goal, God has given man the gift of Eternal Life. “The gift of God is eternal life. “ (Romans 6:23) The emotions, the mind and will of man are energy fields filled with dark energies or Light energies. Evolution requires numerous transitions and purifications before one begins to express his true son-of-God potential. The Creator and the Christ patiently work with each living soul to accomplish the destined victories of Light through which come Spiritual Illuminations. The Learning Process enables each person to learn in stages of progression throughout numerous lifetimes. Within each individual is the potential to serve God as a Great Being or Hierarch. Though the Soul and the Image of God, man is destined to be a mighty Hierarch-Being who will assist the Creator in the creation of Stars and Galaxies. The Earth is a laboratory where man is learning to utilize the powerful energies within Light through creative-spiritual disciplines and dedications. The first stages of the Learning Process relate to each person’s learning how to work with God and Christ to change the dark energies of anti-virtues within his own nature into Light energies for creation. The knowledge gained from this struggle becomes an imperishable treasure in the soul’s eternal record. As one evolves spiritually, he desires to assist other individuals to overcome the dark energies of anti-virtues in their natures. In this, he becomes a mediator between God and mankind. The next stages of progression prepare a servant of God to work with the Christ to change the dark energies of anti-virtues being expressed by masses of people. The knowledge gained in this holy endeavor begins the process of releasing Hierarch-like powers and potentialities through the Soul and the Image of God. Four major stages in the Learning Process are being experienced over the centuries and the ages through the Holy Law of Reincarnation:
Each person is experiencing his own level of learning about dark energies and Light energies: from self to others; from others to masses; from masses to Stars and Galaxies. As one becomes more like Jesus, he begins to work with Universal energies that expand his range of service to God; through meekness, gentleness and wisdom, the light of his prayers, meditations and other spiritual dedications contributes to the birth and creation of Stars and Galaxies in the Holy Universe. All Anointed servants of God have traveled the Path of Virtue for many lifetimes before qualifying to serve the Creator as masters of energy as related to the Earth and the Universe. The Lord Jesus is in command of all energy-processes through which men are learning to change darkness into Light, first within their own beings and then within the Bosom of the Cosmos. Man, being imaged in the Likeness of God, is destined for greatness in his knowledge of Light and in his contributions to the Creation of the Universe. Mankind required thousands of years before discovering the way to unlock the awesome energy in the atom. Presently, the human spirit is learning the Ethics involved in the use of atomic energy. God has graced man with powerful energies in his emotions, mind and soul; these energies also require his knowledge of Ethics so that they will be used for good rather than evil. Even as the advent of atom energy opened a new era to man, so will his knowledge of Ethics in the use of mental, emotional and soul energies herald the dawn of his spiritual birth as a son of God. I am one with the Universe through love.
TELEPATHY AND THE AGE OF ETHICS The Great Age before man is the Age of Ethics. In the Age of Ethics, tremendous strides will be made by the human spirit in regard to an enlightened understanding of the Ethics regarding all energy processes of the body, emotions, mind and soul and all energy processes of the planet Earth, the Solar System, the Galaxy and the Universe. Man is a Spiritual Giant in the making. He is presently in his first stumbling beginnings of learning how to differentiate between good and evil, virtue and vice, righteousness and unrighteousness. As the Age of Ethics begins to dawn, the splendor of God’s Image will manifest increasingly throughout the hearts, minds and souls of men. Through the Soul and the Image of God, the Learning Process for man will begin to include the knowledge of the Dimensional wave lengths of Telepathy that unite all Souls, Stars and Galaxies in the Universe. However, before the sacred Laws governing Telepathy will reveal their secrets and mysteries, man must first learn and express the Ethics in the receiving and sending of Telepathy. Ethics supported by pure love will ennoble and enlighten the hearts and minds of men on Cosmos-levels of awareness and discovery. Man lives in a Telepathic Universe of Love-Energies. The telepathic wave lengths of Love unite all Stars and Galaxies in the Universe and all Souls in all Kingdoms of God. The Universe is a massive Telepathic Transmission Dynamo. To be one with the Telepathic Universe through Love and Ethics makes of one a Cosmos-seer anointed by God’s Omnipresent Spirit. The Soul and the Divine Image are mighty telepathic receivers and transmitters that unite one with all creations occurring throughout the Universe. The farthest Star and Galaxy are accessible to man because of the telepathic capabilities of the Soul and the Divine Image. The Soul and the Divine Image also enable one to be telepathically receptive to the Highest Heavens within the Kingdom of God. The man of God in the new era will utilize the Universal Wave Lengths of Love for the receiving and sending of Telepathy. The Love of God is omnipresent throughout all seen and unseen Universes and Kingdoms. Through Love, a worshipper is one with All Creation. Through Ethics, he gives birth to the telepathic powers of his Soul and the Divine Image. The Laws and Commandments of God are great Electrical Energies throughout the Universe. These Electrical Energies unite man telepathically with all that is occurring throughout the Cosmos. Through virtues expressed while observing the Scriptural Laws and Commandments, one becomes telepathically united with the Wisdom and Grace of God. Virtues are the major components in a highly sensitive system of telepathic sending and receiving. Each virtue is as an antenna attuning one to the higher wave lengths of spiritual telepathy. Thus, the more virtues one expresses in service to God, the more sensitively attuned he is to the Omnipresent Wisdom, Love and Grace of God creating the Universe. Every anti-virtue makes one telepathic to the Antichrist. Every virtue makes one telepathic to the Christ Light and God’s Love within the Heaven Worlds. The greater one’s virtue, the higher the Heaven he may reach through spiritual wave lengths of telepathy. Virtues, being of the Soul and the Image of God, hold the keys to man’s destiny as a co-creator with God through the holy wave lengths of spiritual telepathy. These sacred wave lengths of telepathy unify all celestial creations in the vast Universe. Meditation becomes a time of communion with Cosmos Realities through the telepathy received through virtues anointed, sanctified and illuminated by the Spirit of God.
PROGRESSIVE ANOINTINGS To be one with God and Christ through the Divine-Marriage Anointing is to be initiated in the Grace-degrees of Divine Bliss, Immaculate Ecstasies and Holy Joys. The more a person is at one with his Soul and the Image of God within his being, the more telepathic he is to the Mind of God and the Mind of Christ. To be telepathic to the Mind of God creating the Universe is to be anointed with knowledge and wisdom of the Unifying Laws, Principles and Constants governing the Creation of the Cosmos. To be telepathic to the Mind of Christ is to be anointed with the Gifts of the Soul that transform a devotee into an enlightened Teacher and Apostle. Telepathic oneness with the Mind of God and the Mind of Christ is the majestic state of Illumination expressed by the Anointed. Telepathic union with God and Christ occurs through Progressive Anointings received by the devotee over the years of selfless service, diligent study and daily worship. If he remains true to his dedications and vows for twenty years, a sincere servant of God will receive the Divine- Marriage Anointing. This mighty Anointing will transform his body, brain and being into a powerful telepathic receiver and transmitter on the dimensional wave lengths of Universal Creation. The Anointed serve God and the human spirit in the spirit of penance and restitution for the sins of the world. Walking the Path of Jesus, they seek to inspire others to accept the disciplines and to speak the vows that will make them telepathically receptive to the Holy Inspirations of the First Heaven, the Sacred Realizations of the Second Heaven and the Divine Revelations of the Third Heaven. Through Progressive Anointings received in perfect timing and degree through the Wisdom of God, one becomes a proclaimer of the Glory and Perfection of God in all Heavens and in all Worlds. The Holy Spirit of God is Pure Truth. To receive timely anointings by the Holy Spirit is to receive priceless blessings of Truth; however, each anointing also makes one painfully aware of his faults, resistances and attitudes that need healing and correction. Aspirants who cannot cope with the truth about their shortcomings and weaknesses as revealed by Pure-Truth Anointings turn away from the Spiritual Path. It requires courage, honesty and humility to remain receptive to the increasingly powerful Truth-Anointings received through God’s Holy Spirit. All living things created by God are telepathic to one another. The Intelligence of God abides in every living thing throughout the Universe. The Intelligence of God unites all Stars and Galaxies, all Souls and Life-Forms. Through the Intelligence of God and His Love, all things are telepathically communicable. Love is the element for all Universal wave lengths of telepathy. Therefore, through love, all barriers are removed between Stars and between Souls. “The kingdom of God as within you.” (St. Luke 17:21) The Kingdom of God within one’s being is communicable through love-telepathy. The purer one’s love, the more receptive he will be to the telepathies from the Kingdom of God. Telepathies from the Kingdom of God are the essence and substance of Spiritual Illumination. Through the Kingdom of God, the World of the Cosmos will open to the minds of men. Jesus is the Way-shower to man’s understanding of the Telepathic Power of Love to unite him with the Kingdom of God within and with the outer Universe of scintillating Stars and Galaxies. Greatness of heart, mind and soul are destined for man through the Telepathic Power inherent in Love.
