Q. I have been reading about the secrets of the Sphinx and the Hall of Records. It really is exciting to think that great spiritual treasures are lying there, awaiting humanity's discovery.
A. The forces of ignorance always seek to distract people from the simple but life-transforming truth of Love and Service. Why do we need to regard the Sphinx, the Hall of Records or any other phenomena in the lower worlds when the Truth and the Kingdom is right here within ourselves. Recall the ancient Chinese curse: "May you live in interesting times".
Q. David Icke has some very revealing information about what is happening on Earth. Have you read any of his books?
A. What we focus upon grows. This is an immutable universal law. Focusing upon anything of the fallen world, especially with a charge, e.g., indignation, animosity, etc. (as so many do who read David's books and magazines like 'Nexus'), actually feeds it and so protracts its existence indefinitely.
This is why we always encourage serious and intelligent seekers (once they have come to comprehend the nature of good and evil) to cease in giving attention to the problems in the fallen world and to focus solely upon the Solution; the one Solution that all the Avatars have attempted to convey to mankind over the ages.
A. We are pleased that you are asking questions. Such meticulous enquiry often unearths valuable insights and, in purposeful and sincere exchange, positive spiritual energy (and divine attention) is drawn into this world. "When two or more people seek together in My name, I will be there with them." - Christ (paraphrased).
Firstly, then, please be encouraged in your seeking.
Now, let us see if we can answer your question.
Following are some definitions of the word 'philosophy' as given in the American Heritage Dictionary:
1. Love and pursuit of wisdom by intellectual means and moral self-discipline.
2. The investigation of causes and laws underlying reality.
3. A system of philosophical inquiry or demonstration.
4. Inquiry into the nature of things based on logical reasoning rather than empirical methods.
5. The critique and analysis of fundamental beliefs as they come to be conceptualized and formulated.
6. The synthesis of all learning.
7. All learning except technical precepts and practical arts.
8. All the disciplines presented in university curriculums of science and the liberal arts, except medicine, law, and theology.
9. The science comprising logic, ethics, aesthetics, metaphysics, and epistemology.
10. A system of motivating concepts or principles.
11. A basic theory; a viewpoint.
12. The system of values by which one lives.
So in light of the above, perhaps you may see that any written presentation or discussion on metaphysics, religion, etc. may be categorized under the broad heading of philosophy.
However, I hasten to add the old adage that "Philosophers die confused!". Once a philosophical appreciation of esoteric facts has been acquired by the mind, only a fool would continue to limit themselves in perpetual philosophical speculation/cogitation (and, of course, this world is full of such fools and also mountains of their books!).
Philosophy is a tool, a means to an end. In and of itself it cannot actually take us Home. This is why we are mainly focused upon the second aspect of Truth as I mentioned previously, which is the Power or Divine aspect. We utilize philosophy only in order to help clarify the mind, to inspire and to instruct. Once right understanding has been achieved and established in the mental body, then it is time for selfless ACTION, from which is derived divine Power and ultimately Liberation.
PHYSICAL PROXIMITY IN GROUP WORK
Q. Is physical proximity essential or useful for group service and ascension?
A. Certainly it is useful, especially during the coming chaos. The strictly occult aspects of group service may and do, of course, unfold upon the inner planes where time and space are very different than in in the physical world. However, perhaps you might be able to answer the question regarding the need for proximity yourself by reviewing the repeating patterns demonstrated in the past by any and all truly holy orders, e.g., the Essenes, Buddha's & Jesus' sangha (holy fellowship), the Cathars, the Bogomils, the Manicheans, the Rosicrucians. The inner circles of all these Gnostic groups withdrew from society completely in order to build the Ark of Christ where it could be better protected from infiltration by evil forces. As an example, consider what might happen if we attempted to build the Ark in a city, or in the shopping mall!
There are a great many advantages to living and working together in community. Conversely, to remain isolated as a physical being in this darkened world has considerable drawbacks.
Q. Is fear the opposite of love?
A. Contrary to what nearly everyone on Earth believes today, Love is not the positive polarity of fear, hatred or evil. Love is a neutral Force in Creation. If it were a polarity, then as a part of temporal duality it could not be eternal, or even Real.
Most people think that the two poles of the Universal Intelligence are good and evil, love and fear, darkness and light, etc. This notion is entirely delusive. The two poles within the divine Creatrix are divine Feminine and divine Masculine.
Q. It is no secret today that a great multitude of people are very actively engaged in meditations for world-peace and a miscellany of other efforts to improve world conditions. Are these groups all deluded?
A. There is much truth interwoven in the writings and messages of so many well-intentioned groups and dualistic works on Earth at this time. But tainted instruments (i.e., personalities harboring fear, selfishness, etc.) cannot - I repeat cannot - be utilized for any divine work - ever. However, they can and are being used today everywhere, especially in synergetic world-meditations, by the archons and aeons.
I would remind you of what is said about 'mixed magnetisms' in Servers of the Divine Plan :
Mental and emotional handicaps such as fear, pride, selfishness, etc., even if maintained upon subconscious levels, will hold the group vibration down, reduce the group's radiatory field and attract like energies to the intended work, thus restricting the potential of the group's positive spiritual effect. Mixed motivations yield variables that may easily prevent a positive synergy. If members are thinking of themselves in any way; if they possess personal vanity, such as might show itself in the desire to shine or to take a prominent part in the proceedings; if they have any selfish motivations for joining the group, however subtle, or if they have not wholly and selflessly consecrated themselves to the Work of Christ, then they constitute a weak link. Such individuals must grasp the fact that they join, not to receive, but to give; not to be interested and amused, but to take their share in a great Work for the good of the planetary life. A genuine love of that life and of humanity is the one credential that will qualify affiliation within the ranks of Servers, nothing less .
Now, you may wish to ask yourself what percentage of those who join the very popular meditations and invocations open to all and sundry today have truly pure motives? How many of these participants love the Truth and Christ with all their being, and what percentage are likely to have some ulterior motives for being part of such a public ceremony?
As I have recently assured you, if something is popular on this planet of darkness and ignorance, then it cannot possibly be Divine. Remember this always.
Divine invocation in groups is a very advanced work. It cannot be done by just anyone. Initiates have trained for lifetimes in order to earn the honor and ability of partaking in such work. Now, a person does not attain Initiate status simply because he is alive on Earth at this time and because he is invited to partake in large ceremonies!
The vast majority of new age messages and invitations today bear not the vibration of holiness. Mostly, the plethora of channelled information that is now readily available in the world, at the expense of gullible humanity, is derived from astral entities of dubious spiritual standing, and often from beings who are far more sinister. Global ceremonies open to all always produce ether bleedings that feed the archons and aeons, while simultaneously allowing dark intelligences to infiltrate the personal consciousness of those who take part ever more deeply. This opens up a doorway to the lower invisible planes so that undivine entities and forces may enter this world.
Why do you think that Jesus first had a carefully-selected inner circle of 12, a middle circle of 72 and an interested 500? Jesus would never have called together thousands of secularly-minded people to partake in a sacred work, even if he had the worldwide communications that we have today. He knew far better than that. However, the antichrist has no hesitation in using any personality vehicle in order to extend his dominion of the physical world. The antichrist has been preparing for the long-prophesied battle of Armageddon for thousands of years, and he knows well how to deceive the gullible 'lightworkers'. "At the time of the end even the wise will be led astray." - Jesus.
May I once again urge you to eliminate all non-essentials from your life, which includes the vast amount of useless messages and information that are coming your way in order to distract you from the straight and narrow Path.
