FAITH

Q. While I believe in the importance of faith, blind faith is only for the blind.

A. We know what you mean and concur, of course. However, there really is no such thing as 'blind faith', for true Faith is a direct knowing, not merely a belief. The real meaning of the word 'faith' has been very diluted over the centuries; probably mostly by churchianity.

Q . I threw out the teachings of the church at the age of 12 because even then I could clearly elucidate the holes in the teaching, and got only inanities as responses when I questioned those who were supposed to know the answers.

A. Ahh, but this does not mean that there is no treasure to be found in the New Testament by one whose eyes are open. As Yogananda's paramparamguru, Babaji, once said: "All of life is intermingled, like sugar and sand. We must be like the wise ant who picks out the sugar from the sand".

It appears that you have indeed been attempting to do this to date, and you are to be commended. However, as long as we rely at all upon our intellect in our seeking, we shall never find the sugar that is very well hidden in this world's great sand dune.

Q. While I understand that faith is good, it is obvious that knowing is better.

THE FALLEN WORLD

FALSE BROTHERHOODS

Q. Just like we are destroying our physical world we are also corrupting the psychic side of the dualistic world as well. I heard of a group of people who are trying to get power over the Earth by witchcraft and so forth. Who is that group you are referring to as the 'fallen brotherhood'?

A. There are many occult groups or 'brotherhoods' in the subtle spheres, but there is only one real Holy Fellowship where men are truly brothers, and that is the Universal Fellowship of Christ.

Q. I want nothing to do with the brotherhoods in the psychic sphere except to help them out of the dark side back to the truth, if that is at all possible.

A. In a free-will system we may only help those who are requesting help.

FALSE SERVERS OF THE DIVINE PLAN

Q. There certainly appears to be a growing number of people claiming to remember and to be Servers of this planet, or contacted by such Servers. They all seem to have similar stories but differ on details. Are any of them legitimate or is it all disinformation?

A. The comprehensive answer to this is given in our Inner Teachings. The Truth may only be known by the purified heart and intuition. There are many more false servers in this world today than genuine Servants of Christ.

Q. Are any of these true Servers of the Divine Plan who have got lost along the way? If so, what are the consequences for them?

A. The descent into matter by divine emissaries is ever accompanied by great risk. This is discussed in our book Servers of the Divine Plan.

FALSE SPIRITUAL GROUPS

Q. Since I have encountered your group, I am able to recognize many teachers and groups who are not the real thing, whereas before I would have eagerly professed their enlightened state! How liberating from the false is True Knowledge!

A. It is often not until a genuine spiritual group is encountered that various imitation spiritual groups are able to be seen for what they are. In the early days of our seeking, much of our time was spent in exposing (by our sincere questioning) false gurus and pseudo-spirituality. Earnest and intelligent seeking naturally exposes falsehood and compromise.

Q. P is a friend whose writings I used to admire, but now I can see clearly how she is being misled.

A. P is known to us. She is of the opinion that all evil ('Lucifer' in her words) has been escorted off-planet by Archangel Michael, and that we have come through the worst of the tribulation (2002)! This is just one example of her new-age-style of wishful thinking. She is one of many advocates of personally-oriented, fluffy spirituality.

We have found her writings to be a mixture of some truth but mostly water, superfluity, distraction and new age glamour. She is in communication with light-spirits in the psychic sphere (astral entities who are often as confused and deceived as humanity). The vibratory quality of her work is not attractive to us. It is another case of the blind leading the blind.

Note how personality-oriented P's writings are: "We are not ", " you are", etc., etc. It is important to be able to recognize these signs and, most of all, to read vibration. The latter saves a lot of time.

However, P is right about the ancient prophecies coming true; the writing really is on the wall. Cosmic laws are insuperable and humanity has abused those laws and continues to do so. Hence it does not take an occultist, scientist or geologist to clearly interpret the corresponding effects of mankind's abuse.

I do not have the time nor the interest to go through P's messages with a fine-tooth comb, but offer you the following for consideration: "We are all co-creators of the coming Golden Age on Earth." This is grossly incorrect. Most people (often especially 'lightworkers') are still contributing toward the perpetuation of the old world in their delusions and selfishly-oriented lives posing under the cloak of world service (which is most often merely popular humanitarianism with some psychic froth thrown in). The previously-quoted statement of P's is typical of today's subjective and fear-fuelled reasoning. This underlies P's psychology. She wants everyone to be happy. This is sweet but impractical in a world ruled by archons and aeons! We cannot cover the world-karma in pretty-coloured band-aids.

Consciousness dwelling in higher densities has greater influence upon worlds and the creatures that seek to live and progress therein. Do you think that the Christ-Hierarchy would be happy to admit 6 billion fallen souls into a higher density where their influence would be greater and more inimically far-reaching than it has been already on this physical planet?

"Because of innumerable Activities of Light that have been performed by literally millions of Awakening Light Beings all over the World during the past fifteen years, the cataclysmic prophecies of old HAVE BEEN AVERTED!" Do you believe that there are millions of awakened Light Beings in physical incarnation on Earth at his time? I wonder why we didn't meet any of them on our uncompromising, full-time search across the USA and three other continents! If millions of individuals on Earth had achieved divine-contact, then we would have reached the critical mass by now and we would no longer be vibrating on this plane, in this world.

I repeat: P and so many like her are working for the light-spirits in the psychic sphere. Their flowery, empty words seek to candy-coat what is in order that they may attract followers and do not themselves have to look at their own denials, delusions, fears, etc. And such amicable distortions of the plain truth ensure that such pseudo teachers remain popular with the self-invested masses.

It is not for me to advise you what to do in your personal life, but what we read and give attention to really does enter and affect our consciousness. When I read the kind of new age fluff that unenlightened persons like P distribute, I feel some distress in my soul. This principle is mentioned in Yogananda's Autobiography (Sri Yukteswar's Resurrection chapter). Yukteswar explains that in Hiranyaloka (the highest astral heaven) beings are so attuned to divine law that they feel pain if they encounter any activity that is not aligned with Truth.

In making straight the ways of the Lord it is very important to maintain a true, Godward focus without compromise or diversion. This does not mean to deny the reality of things as they are by projecting into hopeful unrealities, but rather to see things as they are, to acknowledge the darkness of this world while aspiring towards the Good, True and Right.

FALSE SPIRITUAL TEACHERS

Q. Ok. It seems likely from what you have said that a very large proportion of 'spiritual teachers' out there today will not be experiencing hostile attacks from the archons and aeons, but rather, due to their compromised and so deluded focus, may actually be eliciting a very dubious form of 'guidance' from them. Is this correct?

A. Yes, you have just summarized how so much disinformation enters our world from the astral sphere, and also what gives so many pseudo teachers their charisma, psychic power and influence and consequent large following by blind aspirants.

FEAR AND ANGER

Q. I have recommended your website to a number of friends. They like what they see but also are very wary of the 'group' thing...

A. Wariness and suspicion are expressions of fear. Where there is fear, there can be no unity (group) consciousness. Where there is Love, there is only unity (group) consciousness, for Love is a synonym for Oneness or Unity.

We do not and cannot work with fear, for we are not psychotherapists.

Fear is a teacher, however; a teacher that uses pain for its study-material, illusion for its syllabus, and despair is its greatest achievement and goal. In a free-will system such as Earth we must just let fear be, while we look to the Real, to God, to Truth. This is how the Path unfolds from within ourselves: we must ever look toward the destination that we wish to reach. Fear ever looks in the opposite direction.

Q. It appears, then, that my past desires to help others have also been coming from a place of fear?

A. The vast majority of people in the world today are in fear. This is a 'normal' condition here on the dark planet, and fear, of course, is very infectious if we are vibrating within the 'normal' frequency range for humankind. What concerns me most, however, regarding the present contents of your auric field is the suppressed anger there.

Anger is the most violent and, therefore, most evil energy in the fallen universe, and so can be readily accessed and manipulated by the dark forces. Lose it quickly if you would rise above the great battle of Armageddon and so help others in the coming struggle. It is only in forgetting ourselves and in truly loving others (a divine quality, not a personal effort) that we may receive help ourselves. "It is in giving that we receive; it is in loving others that we are loved." - St. Francis.

FEAR AND THE 'I'

Q. It is my fear that keeps me here, that keeps me talking. I trying to convince God that the impending destruction doesn't have to happen...

A. Fear is not of You; it is but a thread of unintegrated energy in your surface vehicles. If you can begin to regard these things impersonally, then you will be better able to See more clearly.

Q. ...Because I have this gift of feeling things from others people's perspectives, I can see what they need in order to help them. I have seen ways to change the thinking to millions of people, but I am hanging onto that, I am not trusting God for His Will to be done.

A. Understood. To think in terms of "I can change people's thinking" is to fall into Lucifer's trap. Only the divine Spirit can assist those who are lost in darkness. That Spirit wishes to work through you but it does not come from you (even though in the absolute sense it is You). Much of the time people cannot be helped by the Spirit, for they are not interested in Truth, and so silence is often the better part of valor; silence is also a mirror.

Your 'I' wants, desires to serve and interfere and so just gets in the way. Let Christ do the work in and through you. The radiation of divine Love simplifies everything and Serves perfectly appropriately as it is able. Magic, healing and miracles just happen around a saint; the saint is not the doer; it is the Mysterious Virtue.

FEAR OF TRUTH

Q. I have found that if one studies about the transition period of Earth and about the destruction that may befall this planet, well, being human there are emotions attached to that subject and it will take one into a certain emotional state...

A. Such emotions spring from fear and ignorance. The lover of Truth and the Divine Plan wishes to know only the Truth. The destruction of an illusion is also an illusion itself, for there is nothing Real to destroy; energy cannot be destroyed. However, since the ignorant ego-self believes in the illusion (and also in its self, an illusion, as being real), then it is not really surprising that the truth of the times may be a cause for concern to many.

Our later writings are for the advanced, intelligent seeker of the Real, for the genuine candidate for harvest upon the Path of the Divine Mysteries, but the relevant warnings to less earnest seekers have necessarily been given in all our writings. With those who choose to serve fear (in the illusion) we can have no Real-ationship.

Q. ...Now because you are enlightened for the time you spend talking or discussing the subject you will be able to withstand the emotion attached to the subject. But a prolonged period of time thinking about the likelihood of a cataclysm will wear down anyone...

A. Too much focus on mundane symptoms of the forthcoming global purgation is, as you say, not expedient. Right Attitude is not concerned with anything but the Living Truth, and Truth inspires as it uplifts.

If one is becoming "worn down", as you say, then wrong thinking and wrong identification is the root of the trouble, not the simple Truth itself, nor written presentations of it.

FELLOWSHIP

Q. Is it our divine nature to seek the kinship of others or is that just another dualistic trap?

A. To seek kinship for self is a road that leads to problems; to seek holy fellowship for God and Truth is a different matter.

The Buddha said to his more advanced disciples: "If you cannot find anyone on your spiritual level or above, then go into the solitary places - the forest or the cave - and meditate, for there is no companionship with fools".

THE FINAL LIBERATION

Q. The mention in your writings of such an imminent Final Liberation raises some hints of uncertainty - and maybe fears - in the face of such a mystery, not to mention thoughts of having to deal with losing all association with current Earthly self-identification.

A. All fear is born of ignorance. More reason for you to attain Knowledge. Any attachments you maintain with the world of illusion will prevent your Final Liberation from separation and suffering. The only way we can truly help others is by radiating our divine Soul-vibration. To do this we must attain divine-contact. The Aquarian Grace is such that every sane and able person is being offered the Final Liberation today; the beginning of the road leading to the Reality is just an informed choice away. However, the vast majority are not receiving the Aquarian Grace because they are looking in the wrong direction. Old habits die very hard. The vast majority of 'lightworkers' do not possess true Knowledge and so they are actually contributing toward world-confusion with their dualistic 'love and light' that feeds the ego-self. Most spiritually or religiously-interested human beings on Earth today (including and especially in the new age movement) are chasing their tails and are quite lost in lower psychism and astral-plane imitation spirituality. They are therefore making their choices in these, the sifting times.

FORGIVENESS

Q. You are being watched. If you show yourselves to be REAL, then you may meet some of my spiritual friends. Yet if not, then its adieu!

A. We would love to move forward with you, but you appear to want to prove something and have something proved to you, to your intellectual mind, which can never know the Truth.

Before you may actually receive the Call within 'Servers of the Divine Plan' (or, indeed, Grace) much forgiveness must be made on your part. You might like to begin with your past sorcerer-teachers. Forgiveness will precipitate catharsis and weeping for you, thus emptying your cup. It is only then that you will be able to integrate all the esoteric information that you have been grasping at for so many years.

Please try to receive the above in the way that it is intended. To do this, you will have to remove self from SELF. Intelligence and intellect are not the same thing.

Q. Like I said before, spare me 'the holy business', thank you. Let's be real and chop wood, carry water. 'Salvation', 'The Harvest', 'Redemption'; all will take care of themselves without our interference. All we need to do is to continue to 'show up', without judgement, criticism, defense, protection, control, or manipulation.

A. No. You here express the typical 'new age' attitude. You appear to have forgotten that we live in a free will system. That means that we must make choices in order to approach God.

FORMAL SPIRITUAL PRACTICES

Q. Do you recommend any spiritual exercises?

A. Some people like to practise techniques in order to attain higher levels of consciousness or powers of some kind, or even peace of mind, and some prefer just to remain in active service. The latter practice opens the heart chakra like no other path or technique; the former bears dangers because one can easily forget that on the Right-Hand Path one should be practising for others, that is to say, for the universal good. There are many pitfalls in solitary spiritual practises, and at this time of unprecedented Grace and divine attention we do not generally advocate them. Essentially, there is no need for the healthy-minded individual. The greatest degree of divine-contact may be achieved in selfless spiritual service, for it demands the attention of the Christ-Hierarchy. This is the Aquarian way of progressive, conscious spiritual emancipation, for on the true spiritual Path, as one gives, one receives.

FREE WILL

Q. That there is symbolism in the Bible is correct, but we are not the only ones who know that and the 'enemy' has trapped many with that symbolism!

A. Well, actually we trap ourselves. Not even the most powerful evil influence can interfere with the free will of a human being if that human being says "NO!". Ignorance is the enemy.

FREEDOM & SAINTLINESS

Q. What is a saint?

A. A saint is one who does not function from his own will anymore but has emptied himself in order to receive divine Grace. He then goes forth in joy and dynamic purpose as an instrument of God. This is freedom; what all humanity seeks; to become again like a child, free and spontaneous and without fear or therefore the need or incentive to project his mind into future/past, which inevitably creates pain because the soul knows only the eternal Present. A saint lives in the present, and that is why he Lives.

FUN AND HAPPINESS

Q. ...With all the work you guys do, don't forget to have some fun, enjoy yourselves. I know that I worked so hard over the last couple of years that I don't know what to do with spare time when I get it. But we can't forget how to be happy and have fun. That's what life's supposed to be all about.

A. Life in duality was originally, a very long time ago, supposed to be fun, and indeed it was; conscious beings who, nevertheless, had not yet forgotten their Origin played gleefully within their own co-created temporal landscapes. But the poisoning of the Earth's life-field over the ages due to gradual forgetfulness that led to ignorance and evil, today prevents any real happiness from being experienced in the earthly fallen sphere; there simply isn't enough light-energy on the Earth anymore. Any true Joy experienced in special cases will spring from the divine World to which we must return completely in order to have Real and permanent Fun.

In duality, happiness always alternates with its opposite: sorrow. Therefore, the seeker of happiness (which is a personality affectation and so temporal, passing and thus unreal) will ever know sorrow also. Regard your own dualistic experience these last 25 years of your present lifetime. Have you not observed how happiness never remains permanent, even as a child?

If we are seeking joy (fun) in this world before the Truth, then we shall find neither, but instead remain on the wheel of birth, suffering and death in the dualistic universe.
