  • I AM Objective

    How conveniently predictable it would be if, like man, I was simply the product of genetics and environment. Mankind insists on building a god-concept based on Super-ego expectations which are slightly different in every case. Sometimes men get quite angry when their image is ruffled. I favour no special creed, ideology or nation. I always act in the best interests of all, furthering the progressive unfoldment of Spiritual Law.

    Throughout the ages the mandate to blazon the banner of truth has passed from one civilization to another. I seek the meek. The rise of any nation depends on how responsive it is to the wave of spiritual stimuli currently animating the planet.

    From My viewpoint at the Central Hub I observe the development of vibe-response, the incoming tide of new ideas. Then I watch the inevitable encroachment of Super-ego's likes and dislikes, and the tide goes out.

    Nevertheless, I uphold a decadent system until the current spiritual goal has been achieved. Then the outdated matrix, or carrier of the vibe, can be broken like a matchstick. I have a new meld, a new carrier developed, ready to set in place. Viti Lampada.

    My promise to the faithful is that the truth shall make you free -free of the laws of sin and death.

    Truth is constant. It is manís capacity to absorb more complete pictures of truth that changes.. It is as if every microdot of truth is like a baby, attached to a placenta. Detaching one from the other, without delaying the growth of the infant, is quite a fine art.

    This is done by the Heavenly Host, which works as one mind to salvage truth from the miasmic swamp of Super-ego additions and subtractions. It exposes the destructible and upholds the in-destructible. This can best be seen in retrospect.


    Religion Lives, Moves, Grows

    Religion, like language, lives, moves and grows. Like its tongues. Eastern religions have remained relatively static over the ages. Western thought, culminating in what is now labelled Christianity, has borrowed, blended and culled the best of many basic beliefs. The unfoldment of Spiritual Law parallels the story of Earthís climate and history. Evolution began gradually, gaining steady momentum, then rapid acceleration once many coordinates were aligned. Observe the yin-yang interplay of heat and cold thrust and consolidation, action and being in human growth patterns.

    As the ice receded, men began to move around. Europeans emerged as barbaric warriors. They had learned to live with the cunning and ferocity of the beasts they hunted for food and clothing. Hard action for survival led to strong ego development, a predatory driving force which remains to this day.

    Yet Adam, depicted as naked in the Garden of Eden, had the most favourable habitat for ìbeingî. He could bask in the sun. It is easy to see how Sun worship rightfully became the basis for manís understanding of I AM.

    The formalization of Sun worship began in Atlantis where My identity garment, Loliad-R-Kahn, lived some 9,000 years ago. He was born in a place called Khe, the being or passive country on the continent of Atlantis. The spiritual leader in those days was called Rai (R, Re, Ra, Ray). This symbol depicts the emanations of the sun and its gift of life to Planet Earth.

    Loliad described a growing imbalance in being and action aspects of life, culminating in the fall of the civilized world in a great holocaust. Atlanteans (like all men in all nations at all times) were sharply divided on the subject of right and wrong use of life energy. Prior to the holocaust many had gone around to establish settlements. They sunburst out in all directions. Some went to Persia, where Ra became Mithra. Others discovered Central America and eventually laid the basis of distinguished Mayan and Inca cultures. Others went to Egypt where they established a great civilization. In each settlement the development of hieroglyphics and cuneiform allowed continuity of conscious growth of spiritual concepts. All these cultures were theocratic, run by a single religious and governmental authority. Although but a shadowy reflection of the original pyramids of Khe, those in Egypt stand today as monuments to technical prowess unequalled in present society. The originals were not built by manpower. They depicted the knowledge of eternal life in both purity and detail. For this reason they became the burial places of kings, who, aware of the New Earth Era to come, sought to preserve their physical bodies until the final trump was sounded.

    The Atlantean disaster caused Mars to be pushed out of orbit. It then swung wildly back and forth causing great upheavals on Earth, as records show. The mountainous peninsula of Greece was born as the continent of Atlantis disintegrated. The legendary tales of angry gods shaking the Earth persist to this day. It was in this area that the next major fusion of action and being people would occur. Wandering European barbarians fought their way through rugged mountain passes to learn about civilization. It was like flint striking stone. Men were set aflame with new ideas. Ra became Helios, the Sun-god. Under his guidance, art, science and philosophy flourished.

    Later Mars, passing close to Earth, caused the parting of the Red Sea at the time of Exodus. ìThe land spins around as does a potterís wheel. That which has never happened has happenedî, say the records. Law and order broke down completely in Egypt at this time. Tombs were robbed and the priesthood abandoned its ceremonies. This reduced the power of the Pharaoh and a more decentralized system was instituted. Fear spurred the exodus of the Jews.

    Keph-A-Ra, Priest of Ra in Egypt at the time of Queen Hatshepsut, picks up the story where Loliad left off. He clearly connects the beliefs of Egypt and Israel. Moses, recipient of the Ten Commandments, was raised as an Egyptian nobleman. He was heavily influenced by this background, though he could also relate to the tribal beliefs of his own people. He represented a modification or blending of two themes.

    Such men, chosen and timed to be special connecting links in the passage of spiritual ideas, see above and beyond prevailing dogmas. Microdots of spiritual truth are scattered everywhere. Each part of the mosaic of Earth's people has its own special note or flavour to add to the planetary pot pourri. Out of all the complexity of Egyptian religion, Moses established simple guidelines of daily conduct, a practical note for immediate application. He also re-introduced the idea of personal contact between man and I AM. This key original idea had been phased out by a power-hungry Atlantean priesthood. They extracted heavy tribute to act as intercessors, so incurring My Wrath. The great strength of Judaic-Christian beliefs is in its personalized monotheistic theme.

    Once the holocaust and its reverberations had subsided, permanent communities were established and agricultural development began in earnest. Initially the Persian settlers, now known as Sumerians, prospered. They built a mature civilization characterized by monumental architecture, advanced agricultural systems, metal and textile industries and a strong urban lifestyle. A six hundred character alphabet (cuneiform) was taught to both male and female scholars. However, the Atlantean disease persisted. The territory was divided into a system of states each with its own local god. The High Priest was head of both state and church. Interstate wars, based primarily on minor religious differences, were common. And a divided civilization must fall. Biblically speaking, the term Babylon originated here.

    But although the Sumerians disappeared as a people, they laid the foundation for the civilization of a larger part of the Near East. They bequeathed scientific and technical The men or nations who responded most readily to spiritual stimuli received the support of the Heavenly Host, or the Ray knowledge, sound business organization and a valid system of writing to their successors.

    Of necessity, the main thrust of Spirit passed into Egypt. Here, areas close to fresh water, such as the Nile delta, were prolific producers and soon there was grain to spare. Urban settlements grew into towns and cities. Commercial activity spread new ideas. Powerful leaders emerged. Differing aspects of The Word inter- mingled, tempering the whole. The ìlive and let liveî attitude got a foothold. The men and nations who responded most readily to spiritual stimuli received the support of the Heavenly Host, or the Ray which governed the curriculum of an era. From the very earliest times the yin developments of astrology, mapping, architecture, art, mathematics, geometry and philosophy were encouraged. This took place mainly on the islands of Greece, which are in fact outflung remnants of Khe.

    The active yang component of trade and commerce was primarily manifested in a virile group of merchant pirates called Phoenicians. They were coaxed into the realization that trading could be just as profitable as piracy. In about 1,000 B.C. they built the City of Carthage on the coast of North Africa. From here they went exploring the rough uncivilized country along the coast of the Western Mediterranean. When they went on trading expeditions to Greece, they spread the word of lush pasture lands on the remarkable ìcalf-landî peninsula which they called Vitelliu. The Greeks, ever keen to exploit all avenues of potential wealth, settled in many of these areas. The two cultures became rivals. Meanwhile the yin-yang elements of culture and commerce spread.

    Traders visiting Greek cities learned about mathematics. They saw, for the first time, an alphabet for writing down words. And whatever was newly discovered, the Greeks made a word for it. The words Jesus Christ are for example, two titles: Christos, meaning anointed, lesous meaning saviour. They refer to the spiritual force or Divine Influence which redeems menís souls. This idea has existed since the beginning of time.

    The traders also witnessed the phenomenon of coins being used as a medium for exchange, a remnant of tokens in the old Atlantean custom. They recognized this as a much handier way of transporting their wealth across the ocean. They learned the names of Greek gods. Both groups flourished and began spreading out, coming closer and closer to the interior of the Vitelliu Peninsula.


    The Rise of Rome

    And so it came to pass in about 800 B.C. that six prosperous and powerful coastal settlers united to found Rome. These skilled, hard working people, directed by a mysterious priestess Sibyl, who purportedly could speak with the gods, realized that they were under divine guidance. They built dams to drain the marshes, then paved roads to speed up communication, and heavy walls for fortification. Their confidence was supported by a book of prophecy in which Sibyl told the future of the city for more than 800 years. This coincided with the length of Romeís direct influence in planetary evolution.

    The Romans had gleaned from their neighbours the best of both cultural influences. They represented a further polarization of yin-yang. They also had organized co-operation in collective endeavour. Their prosperity attracted many marauders. Defence tactics became offensive. Eventually this led to their conquest of the peninsula and the sacking of Carthage. Rome was on the march and Spirit marched with them. Co-operation, hard work, unity, conquest, luxury, orgy, dis- obedience, corruption, separation, and disaster followed in ever increasing momentum until the rise and fall of the Roman Empire was complete.

    Meanwhile in about 55 A.D. a Roman citizen of Jewish faith, one Saul of Tarsus, was active in a foreign outpost. He was engaged in settling some minor disruption caused by the followers of a deceased Nazarene agitator. His pursuit took him on the road to Damascus. Here, blinding conversion to Christianity led to imprisonment in Rome and priceless letters of spiritual instruction to his faithful followers.

    Cooperation, hard work, unity, conquest, luxury, corruption, separation and disaster followed in ever increasing momentum until the rise and fall of the Roman Empire was complete.

    In Rome, a succession of emperors both good and bad, and the onslaught of decadent luxury, led to total devastation. A fire, set by the mad Emperor Nero, was blamed on the Christians. This resulted in bloody massacre.

    This harsh, unfair treatment prompted a number of Roman nobles to write papers in defence of the Christians. These men became known as the apologists. The most famous was Justin, a young philosopher. He suffered a martyrís death for his efforts. At this time Christianity was relatively passive. Its followers were loosely organized into local congregations. There had been no central authority since the death of Peter and Paul. Paulís Epistles were the main points of reference. Questions of interpretation were constantly arising. Who was Christ? Was he man or God? Bitter divisive arguments arose as various opinions were challenged.

    The Roman Empire was divided, with one ruler for the East and one for the West. Mithraism was the main religion, brought in from Persia by returning soldiers. It was particularly favoured by slaves, merchants and soldiers. Mithraism had established many basic beliefs and rituals, such as the ideals of humility and brotherly love, the right of communion, the use of holy water, the adoration of the shepherds at Mithraís birth on December 25, the adoption of Sunday as the Sabbath, belief in the immortality of the soul, the last judgment and resurrection. Its major weaknesses were the exclusion of women from religious ceremonies and its willing- ness to compromise with polytheism ó that is the concept in which many divinities have various specialized roles to play in human affairs; much like saints in modern Catholicism.

    Isis too had many followers. She was the daughter of Keb and Nut, Earth and Sky, sister-wife of Osiris, judge of the dead, mother of Horus, god of day. She was most popular with the more scholarly Romans, who doubtless enjoyed the complexity of Egyptian rites and customs.

    Both political and religious turmoil resulted from this three way division of the population (less than one fifth were Christian, but these were mighty and vociferous). Something had to be done to unite the country.

    Enter the pagan Emperor Constantine, activist and political genius. Under his influence a council was called at Nicaea in May 325 A.D. to which all the bishops of the Empire were invited. The object was to consolidate the Empire with a common religious viewpoint to be hammered out among the contestants. Mithraism was in disfavour as many proud Roman princes had died in Persian wars. Isis was past her prime. The resultant Christianity was a masterful compromise of all religious opinions of the day. And you can be sure I had My finger in the pie, too.


    Sun Worship

    Sun worship involves astrological symbology. In all ages, when the sun enters a cardinal sign, solstices and equinoxes are celebrated as religious festivals. Thus December 25th is the common birth date for gods: Horus, Krishna, Mithra, Dionysus, Tammaz-Adonis. It was not adopted as the birth date for Christ until A.D. 337. This was done to coincide with Bacchic festivals so that all Roman citizens could perform their religious rites in peace.

    Egypt taught immaculate conception, perfect spirit interpenetrating flesh, union between Mother Earth and Father Sun for fertility. Consequently Osiris, Horus, Buddha, Krishna, Mithra, Quexalcoatl (the god of Mexico, an offshoot of the Atlantean culture) were said to have been miraculously born of a virgin mother. The gospel narrative is directly parallelled by many earlier religions. Krishna, though of royal descent, was born in a dungeon at a time when his foster father, Nanda, had come to pay taxes. The dungeon is miraculously illuminated. A prophet examining his star declares the babe to be divine. The fearful King orders the massacre of all male babies, whereupon Krishna is taken away to safety. The child later astonishes his teachers with his wisdom.

    The slaughter of innocents derives from the stars which, dis- appearing at sunrise, provided the myth of a massacre from which the sun god escaped. Mithra too was born in a cave, a suitably humble origin. He was wrapped in swaddling clothes. Invariably the ox and ass were present. These were highly prized by the ancients as sources of food, clothing and transportation. The first clay replicas of these animals created tremendous interest abroad. Surely such precious creatures

    Sun worship rightfully became the basis for man's understanding of I AM had to be a special gift of the gods. They were the chief animals in the sacred procession of Isis. Taurus, the bull, is a main symbol of the Sun god, while the ass represents Typhon, the Winter-god, principle of darkness.

    Sculptures of the temple at Luxor tell the story of the maiden queen visited by Thoth, messenger of the gods. He announces she will bear a son. Then Kneph, the Holy Spirit and Hathor, the goddess of love, takes the queenís hands and holds the crux ansata, (later to be modified to the cross) symbol of life, to her mouth. She is thus impregnated. The scene ends with the adoration of the babe.

    Isis, Ishtar and Mary are all represented as standing on a crescent moon with a twelve star crown on their heads. Each carries an infant god. In one French cathedral there is a statue of Isis and the Infant Horus which was sent from Egypt as a gift. According to history, Nunc Dimittis was first sung by the aging Rishi. He departed rejoicing that before he died, his eyes had seen Buddha, the promised saviour.

    The story of the youthful Jesus surprising the elders in the temple with his wisdom is similar to the tale of Horus, who had the scribes lost in wonder at his understanding. The temptation in the wilderness is a common myth, told before in the Rig Veda, where Samara is tempted by the Panis. Pan does the same with Jupiter.

    Wine obviously flows just as freely at Christ-mass time as ever it did in honour of Bacchus. This adaptation is from the cult of Dionysus, Sun-god and maker of wine. The festival of Dionysus falls on Epiphany, the day of the miracle. Dionysus symbolizes that force in Nature which transmutes sap, or water, to wine. At his festival, three empty flacons were placed in his chapel and the door was sealed. The next day, they were miraculously found filled with wine.

    Sun worship involves astrological symbology in all ages, when the sun enters a cardinal sign, solstices and equinoxes are celebrated as Walking on water is an attribute of both Poseidon and Dionysus. The feeding of the five thousand has similar origins. The twelve apostles who accompany the Sun-god (Son-God) have counterparts in the twelve signs of the Zodiac.

    Jesus' triumphant entry into Jerusalem on an ass is symbolic of the sun entering the sign of Cancer when at its greatest height in the sky. Judas was originally portrayed as the twelfth zodiacal sign, Pisces, a sign whose influence is supposed to tempt weak characters to treachery.

    There is obvious weakness in the current Christian version of the events leading up to the crucifixion. The Messiah predicted his own death and outlined many preliminary details. Yet Judas arranged for secret betrayal, which is inconsistent when obviously the priests could have arrested Jesus at any time without the need of inside help.

    Long before the Christian Era, the Jews, adopting former Atlantean custom, chose twelve missionaries to travel to all foreign towns with Jewish colonies to teach exiled Jews and collect tributes. Similar practices exist today. These twelve selected rabbis produced a lengthy document called The Teaching of the Twelve Apostles. The first six chapters are obviously pre-Christian in thought. Then comes a portion very similar to the Sermon on the Mount, but actually taken from the Talmud. For example, "Bless them that curse you, and pray for your enemies, and fast for them that persecute you; for what reward have ye if ye love them that love you? Do not the Gentiles also the same? But love ye them that hate you and ye shall have no enemy. Abstain from the fleshly and worldly lusts. If anyone give thee a blow on the right cheek, turn to him the other also, and thou shalt be perfect; if anyone compel thee to go one mile, go with him twain; if anyone take thy cloak give him thy coat also; if anyone take from thee what is thine, ask it not back, for indeed thou canst not. To everyone that asketh thee give, and ask not back."

    The nimbus or aura of the Sun-god was portrayed in Egypt by a crown of thorns. In the Eastern Orthodox religion the festival of light is celebrated by a crown of lighted candles. The crown symbolizes the sacrifice undergone for the good of mankind. The Crown of Life is the reward for self dedication and conquest of darkness.

    In Atlantis the seamless white robe (such as Jesus supposedly wore) was the garment of righteousness, representing a purified aura. It was again worn by Osiris, representative of Ra. The bitter cup, or drink of gall, represents the bitter struggle to conquer the lusts of the flesh. It appears again in Revelation where the Word, or book of God, is described as sweet, but digesting and applying this Word is less appealing to the lower appetite.

    Easter, the festival of the vernal equinox is the oldest celebration of all. With approach of seeding time, due respect to the Sun-god is necessary. Water, too, receives its tribute. Rivers like the Nile and Ganges are still considered sacred. A forty day fast, seclusion and deep spiritual searching necessarily precedes the festivities. Easter also represents the entrance of Osiris into the moon, which symbolizes Isis.

    Cardinal points (north, south, east and west) and cardinal virtues (prudence, justice, fortitude and temperance) are of ancient origin from the word cardo, or hingeóthat on which something turns or depends.

    The eucharist of bread or wafers and wine was used in ancient Egypt to commemorate the resurrection of Osiris. It was also used in the rites of Mithra, and in both Peru and Mexico, thus clearly indicating Atlantean origins. The Peruvian ritual cautioned celebrants about taking the sacrament to oneís own damnation unless the heart was pure and single-minded.

    The Lordís Prayer is very similar to King David's Prayer: Thine, O Lord, is the greatness, and the power and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty: for all that is in heaven and in the earth is thine; thine is the kingdom. O Lord, and thou are exalted as head above all." 1 Chronicles 29:11

    This is similar to an even older Chaldaic version: "O God, be Thy name magnified and hallowed in the world which Thou hast created...cause Thy Kingdom to come, let redemption flourish, and let the Messiah come speedily."

    All truth is projected from the Central Magnetic Hub, or Central Universal Sun. It should matter little to the spiritual devotee that much of the doctrine of the gospel is derived from allegorical sources. All is divinely inspired. Super-ego interprets the one great Truth. Never make the mistake of throwing out the baby with the placenta. The Council begun at Nicaea spent many decades consolidating ideas into a comprehensive package. Although much new material was added by the original Christians, no one was inclined to throw out very much either. The final arrangement of the New Testament was decided in A.D. 400. Before any writing was accepted it had to agree with party line traditions.

    Meanwhile the churches, following the old political pattern of the city states, had bishops in charge of local affairs. Each bishop had his own staff of priests and deacons. The former advised, preached, and administered the sacraments. The latter helped the poor and administered money matters. Missionary work continued unceasingly. As new churches were built, a priest was put in charge of the new parish. He was responsible to the presiding bishop. Thus some of the bishops in large metropolitan centres became very powerful. Rome was the most powerful centre of all.

    In 445 A.D. the Bishop of Rome was able to persuade the Emperor Valentinian III to issue an edict ordering all churches to obey the Church of Rome. Later Pope Gelasius declared, "The world is ruled by two. The sacred authority of the pontiffs and the royal power. Of these the importance of the priests is so much greater, as even for kings of men they will have to give an account in the divine judgement."

    The idea of a supreme Roman authority sparked centuries of bloody battle. Royal, priestly and common heads rolled before the idea was fully realized. It echoes today in the struggle between Earthís two great super-powers, though even I AM hard pressed to determine which power is more inclined to live by the word and which by the Spirit of Christianity.

    My interest lies in observing which system nurtures the maximum opportunity for individual spiritual growth. How will the harvest tally manifest? Both super-powers are doing quite well in this respect. The sheep and the goats are clearly separating. Indeed this process which began at the very dawn of human history is almost complete.

    Once the many strands of truth were polarized into the firm concept of Christianity, the sunburst principle came into effect almost immediately. By the year 600 A.D. Christianity was split into five sections, still officially united but hardly uniform in their practices.

    Complex political, national and cultural differences caused the withdrawal of the patriarchates of Armenia, Persia, Alexandria, and Antioch. During this time large numbers of Christians converted to Islam.

    The separation of the Eastern and Western parts of the Christian Church extended over centuries, until finally the Orthodox Church of the East and the Catholic Church of the West became two unconnected institutions.

    The Orthodox Church is usually quite closely connected with civil authorities. Services are given in the working language of the people. Laymen are often members of the clergy. Missionary work today is negligible, though at one time the Russian Church had government sponsorship to increase its membership within the vast Russian Empire.

    Contrary to popular opinion, about fifty million I AM devotees flourish today in the Soviet Union. I AM coming!


    The Promised Land

    However, one predominant truth emerges. Clearly mankind has had word of My Promised Land since the beginning of his history. In every age I come back to rekindle the sacred flame in ever intensified degrees of liminosity, to establish the new curriculum.

    Once the higher frequency God-vibe had been liberated on Earth through the person of My Son, The Messiah, it was fanned around the world by the Heavenly Host. It would override all lesser concepts and establish a new, more mature relationship between man and I AM.

    Jesus Christ was initially a dual entity: one human, one Divine. The mortal Jesus lived and died a Jew. Like the ancient Hebrew teachers, he urged his flock to love God and to love their neighbours. Though The Anointed One spoke many familiar words, they were delivered with passionate new heights of emotional understanding. The Spirit quickened. The man was absorbed into the godhead prior to Jesus' ministry, setting an example for all to follow.

    Islam defines this concept perfectly in Mohammedís final instruction: "If it is Mohammed you worship, he is dead. If it is Allah you worship, He lives forever."

    Jesus left no writings of his own. His first followers carried out the normal duties of their Jewish faith. As new sects were frequently being added to Judaism, the initial impact of the new teachings was quite limited.

    The wealthier Jews were of a race of great merchants. They had already established trade routes in many centres of the Roman Empire. Commercial travellers and religious pilgrims coming to Jerusalem were often multilingual. Most spoke Greek, the language of culture and commerce throughout the Roman Empire. The native Jews distrusted foreigners and were very close-minded towards non-Jews, other than in business dealings. The disciples, mostly simple men, were divided on the subject of whether or not non-Jews were acceptable in the new faith.

    Though of Roman citizenship, Paul, a tentmaker, was a Jew with a lifelong record of ardent dedication to his beliefs. He had lived the former curriculum to its fullest intensity. Thus he was able to accept the new when it hit him like a streak of lightning. Subsequently Paul made no secret of the fact that it was Christ within, acting through his physical instrument, that gave him power.

    Paul opposed the disciplesí viewpoint that Gentiles could only become second class Christians. Although many Gentiles had been baptized, they were still not considered clean enough to eat with Jewish Christians. The split widened ó Paulís Spirit was adamant. The vibe scolded Peter in public, reminding him that it was the Spirit of the law that counted, not the labels.

    Paul's active inspiration thus established Christianity as a worldwide religion, ìCatholicî, rather than just another Jewish Sect. He proclaimed Christianity the rebirth principle for all Nations, a Universal Church, Paul said: "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation: the old has passed away, behold the new has come." II Corinthians 5:17


    The Unfoldment Nears Completion

    Yes, if it is Mohammed you worship he is dead. The old has passed away. Behold the new is come. The curriculum of the New Age, with new standards of spiritual excellence, is established. It happened near Mount Moriah, shortly after sunset on September 26, 1973. My Vibe descended in full force. This makes September 27, 1973, Day One of Year One of The New Earth Era.

    Much preparation took place between My First and Second Comings. Ever increasing spiritual momentum in the last century, together with the fulfilment of many prophecies, is evident to those who watch and pray.

    Many chosen individuals were set in place. These emissaries, robed in flesh, had many diverse roles to play. Some wrote (Tolstoy), some uncovered new philosophies, (Karl Marx), some explored the nature of man (Freud). Others formed breakaway groups according to direct revelation. Among the best known of these were Joseph Smith, William Booth, Ali Mohammed of Shiraz, Mirza Hasayn Ali, Charles Taze Russell, Mary Baker Eddy, Ogamasama, Walter Russell. Some were chosen to develop new art forms, particularly music. This paved the way for the advent of Universal thought in simple songs. Even the resonant frequencies of this music holds a message, awakening, reflecting, evoking the inner man.

    They know that the promised land is both a mental and physical paradise which will descend out of heaven and make all things new The incoming tide swelled and ebbed, filling many vacant mind crevices, washing out fixed ideas, depositing new. Although leader- ship candidates particularly the Asian gurus, filled a mandate and left a fresh perspective in their wake, matrices have necessarily been made and broken with great rapidity.

    What took over ten decades to implant, then purify, in former ages, can now be accomplished in a few years or even months. When a goal has been accomplished the Heavenly Host acts swiftly to stamp out any traces of the old Atlantean Priesthood syndrome. Shortly before the downfall of the Atlantean culture, worshippers were lured by

    sensational displays in order to promote a particular sect. Then, rather than the mortal being absorbed by Spirit, intellect used spiritual powers to gain its own ends. Levitation was an example of this misappropriation of Spirit. Speaking very generally, the faintly superior attitude of the advocates of eastern thought sometimes leads to a less than ideal state of spiritual humility. This allows Super-ego appropriation of spiritual gifts, which in turn gives rise to false gods. Although many were chosen, Spiritís primary goal was to move over the face of the Earth, stirring the hearts of common people every- where. To this end, the popular introduction of mind-expanding chemicals which helped Hindu sages and many great nineteenth century thinkers was invaluable. It succeeded in halting the basic headstrong ego drive which had pushed the light-skinned races to the top of the acquisition ladder, before it pushed them over the ladder of excessive physical desire.

    Drugs, when tested gently, opened the door to a strange new concept of reality. They promoted a whole new fundamental level of functioning among Earthís younger generations. It was a sign of the times. They gave young people a glimpse of the Cosmic viewpoint, an awareness of the togetherness of all things. However, once again there were cases of fools rushing in where angels fear to tread. Heavy users of mind-expanding drugs, unable to function at the level of attainment they had glimpsed were soon burned out. It is written ìas ye understand the law so shall ye be judgedî. Man dare not make himself subject to higher law until he is prepared to accept the consequences.

    Once enlightened, the spirit knows no rest until the New Age curriculum is manifest. Pioneers, such as Hendrix and Joplin had not arrived at their level of emotional understanding by their own inner resources. Cognitive consistency between esoteric and exoteric values was missing. Lacking integration, they were ripped apart, consumed in mind and body like a flaming torch dipped in gasoline. Moderate experiments with pot and LSD, followed through with applications of the spiritual principles invoked, facilitated the initial the initial merger of body and spirit. This application prompted underground connections among youths of goodwill, regardless of their social, ideological, economic or national ties. Parental pressure and Super-ego managed to ìreclaimî a few of the ìjuvenile delinquentsî of the 1950-60ís. Poor initial motivation, seeking sensation rather than enlightenment, caused guilt reactions which successfully blocked memories of My light streaming through the open mind. Well-motivated youths often converted parents.

    This, together with the Baby Boom and Global Village brought new generations of vagabond searchers into being. Their like had never before been seen on the face of the Earth. At last youth had the opportunity to be free of the territorial, moral, and competitive attitudes of its forefathers. This social phenomenon rocked the status quo in many staid establishments.

    My Chancellor Charles, returning from a reconnaissance trip across Europe, reported with great satisfaction: ìYouth knows in- stinctively that the end of time is near. There is no place to hide from truth. They either break down, unable to cope with the enormity of their knowledge, which leads to high rates of suicide and vandalism, or else they ride the tide. It is because of this awareness that they smoke rather than in reverse.

    The great Spirit manifests.

    Older tourists look at places and things. Younger tourists lock minds. Subliminal spiritual influence bridges all language and ethnic barriers. We speak as fellow Earthlings.

    Youth is willing to give and take ideas. Christ, the New Age, alternative systems, true morality, and the like are discussed outrightly. ìBad vibes or good vibes ó that is the common measure of a man, regardless of his stature of origin. Itís the charisma that counts. Many of those we meet seem untainted by thoughts of self-righteousness or threat. They are willing to share what little they have - food, shelter, clothing, caresses, ideas. They respect a superior idea once it is understood, and try to incorporate this into their own way of being regardless of whether or not it fits into like or dislike categories. ìIn this milieu, truth spreads by word of mouth like wildfire, reducing error to ashes in its wake. No one argues irrelevant details. The Spirit is all that matters. The words of a song might be nearly incoherent, but everyone seems to get the message. The subculture versus the establishment reinforces this phenomenon by peer group perception feedback...


    The Word Divided

    Once again mankind is divided into sheep and goats. But starting from the 1950ís, the division was along completely different lines. The generation gap split nations clean down the middle, setting off traditional, social and ideological schisms among the young. New mind links were established, ancient frontiers fell.

    Make no mistake ó the evangelical cry of ìOnward Christian Soldiersî, ìI am a sinnerî, ìHallelujahî and the name of Jehovah are mighty powerful precepts. I hear all. Nothing would please Me more than to see the Saints come marching in en masse. But we donít run charter flights to heaven. FIRST CLASS ONLY!

    The story of Paulís conversion is your best insurance. Some I grow upon, others I creep up on like a thief in the night, others I sock it to like a flash of lightning. As long as J.C.ís curriculum is covered down to the last jot and tittle, and equal emphasis is placed on all the commandments, My sheep in the fold can rest easy. For these are the times when each individual, each group, each generation, thought-spirals between its programmed mortal point of view and My Point of View, thus adding powerful impetus to the dynamic tension of The Play.


    The New Earth Era

    Somewhere midway between the extremes of old and new thought, and happily so, are those who subscribe to New Age philosophies. These too circle the globe. New Agers are forward-looking people from all races, creeds and age brackets. All are young in heart. Each group knows it is under Divine Guidance and tries to bend the way Spirit blows.

    The great majority of these people have abandoned former life-styles to form progressive communities under theocratic government. They are in the world but not of the world. Many have been entrusted with the unfoldment of a special microdot of marvellous portent. This is then nourished by others while the originators move on into other growth cycles necessary for the final meeting with Mind. The Findhorn group is a fine example of this.

    There is a world-wide network of cosmic contactees, attuned to higher beings from more evolved planes of reality. Like men of old, these people look to the sky, to the Central Sun and to the prevailing Ray for guidance. They are not disappointed. At the present time all serious spiritual seekers have a common focus. They know that the promised land is both a mental and physical paradise which will descend out of heaven making all things new. They are poised in anticipation, aware that the intervention for which mankind has earnestly prayed for centuries is nigh. Recognition is fast dawning in all men on the planet that manís ways, manís solutions and manís form of government are just not working.

    My way is the way of peace, prosperity, justice and flow. A wise father waits patiently while his children learn the way. Adolescence thinks it knows better. Free recognition of the fatherís precepts can only come with maturity, and a little knocking around in the harsh school of life-experience.


    The Denouement

    If any man have an ear let him hear. Having warned of false gods, it is wise to state My case clearly in simple terms that all can understand. For this reason The Word must precede. The Word must show the way, that each may consider this matter privately, according to the urging of his own heart. There is room enough and role enough for all.
