Q. Some Sufi masters in Turkey who had been doing powerful Zikhr chants have presented to the world a water that appears to be alive and have God-consciousness. This water seems to have an optimal effect on whatever it touches. They used it in one of the most polluted bays in the world ... dark with black bubbles. It became totally clear within a few days. Can you comment?
A. It sounds like very good stuff, if it is real. However, no matter how miraculous this water may be, it will not prevent the unfolding of the Logoic Intervention (including cataclysms) which is necessary due to the physical, etheric and astral pollution in the world.
The emergency order on Earth must be cleansed since its sole purpose has become thwarted by evil and disease, and today it is almost impossible for anyone to attain transfiguration without painstaking effort and very special Grace. This was not always the case (in the Garden of Eden days, for example). Therefore, the magic water issue (which I find difficult to believe, actually) is not a solution to world vampirism/slavery. I would still not wish to live in the Earth-prison even if all of the physical plane was perfectly purified. Would you? The 'magic water' appears to be yet another exciting distraction from the sole purpose of human incarnation.
Q. I prefer to hold a focus of manifestation. Is it not now time to manifest what we need in the form of an island of light from where we can better work to assist humanity?
A. It is generally wiser - especially at this time - to surrender intelligently to what is rather than to try to make things happen on the grand scale of an "island of light".
Jon Peniel, for example, the author of the Law of One, would associate visualisations to create light centres with black magic, being motivated by human desire as they are, and we would not disagree with him. Even though we may be sincere in our ministrations, to focus on such things as manifesting "what we need" on such a large scale before attaining divine-contact is like presuming we know what God wants. It is in this way that such activities may be associated with the left-hand path of I- (or even we-) orientated activity. Saints do not work in this way; neither do holy orders, for once divine-contact is attained, the Spirit takes care of all the lesser things, as if by magic. "Seek ye first the kingdom of heaven and all these lesser things will be added unto you." Therefore, perhaps you can recognize why our prime duty is to attain a progressively deeper divine connection by keeping our 'I' well out of the way, by simplifying and purifying our lives, by surrendering to what is and remaining on-call for the receipt of further instructions from on-high. Your disposition to prefer a "focus of manifestation" may be a habit brought forward from previous lifetimes, perhaps a result of conditioning in this life or just a desire to see results on the physical plane. Beware!
"Stand steady and do not be so seriously troubled as to the progress of the work which seems not yet to move as rapidly as desired. When the movement does come, it will be rapid." - DK.
"The aspirant need not waste time in doleful ponderings upon the lack of results. His is the part to obey the rules of the Way, to conform to the forms laid down, to contemplate and wisely adhere to the prescribed instructions, and to definitely work and to ardently serve his fellow men. When he has done all this, when he has built the necessary vibrating material into his three lower bodies, when he has aligned them with the soul (even if only for a brief minute) suddenly he may see, suddenly he may hear, suddenly he may sense a vibration, and then forever he may say that faith is merged in sight, and aspiration has become recognition." - DK.
In order to create a real Light Centre we would require the magic Intelligence of the divine Spirit to call the right workers together and, in our experience, this is not yet happening on Earth, perhaps because we are at the threshold of the end of an era of preparation on many levels, and a time of pending divine realization, which means that few can be a part of the real Work, even though many think that they are ready.
Meanwhile, many pseudo light centres that have been manifested by I's and not by God are already in existence and are doing a fine job of fuelling egos and distracting and misleading the masses.
Madame Blavatsky once said that a few drops of rain do not make the monsoon, though they presage it. A mighty tempest is about to begin on Earth (indeed, for many who are more sensitive, Armageddon of the mind and emotions is already noticeably underway), and it is apparent that we shall need to realize a perfect and unselfish solidarity with one another and with the Greater Purpose in order to successfully meet the forthcoming challenges that now lie just a little way ahead for us all - the long-prophesied Destiny of Ages.
Q. The Gnosis informs us that at one point, a very long time ago, mankind fell from Grace, but it seems to me that we perpetuate our fallen condition right now and in every successive moment by our choices. Is this the case?
A. Eons ago, a part of humanity ceased to consciously co-operate with and so serve the Divine Will, and these renegade souls went their own selfish way. Humanity paid the price dearly and is still reaping the consequences of its stubborness today, and worse, ignorant mankind is actually extending its sojourn in the fields of darkness by way of its choices. So, yes, the Fall from Grace - mankind's banishment from Paradise - is happening every moment that we act ignorantly and selfishly. Immediately we begin to live for God, think like God ("putting on the mind of Christ"), etc., the fundamental reversal begins and Paradise starts to reappear for us. Such is the ever-expanding perception of a saint or enlightened being.
Q. Upon this threshold of world destruction we sit, where death will little doubt arise en-masse.
A. Death only of an illusion, for nothing Real can be destroyed. That would equate to God committing suicide! There is no death in Christ, only perpetual Glory.
Q. How can mankind possibly find any fulfilment or purpose in this dualistic world?
A. It cannot, and that is why humanity is so feverishly busy with its multifarious dualistic activities. Such activities are but distractions from unresolved karma (pain) that lies waiting recognition and due resolution within every fallen microcosm.
If you spent eons of incarnations seeking something true and real where it could never be found, would you not also go crazy eventually?
