| I AM The BOOK OF LIFE - Chapter 8 | I AM ANTICHRIST |
Planet Earth was designed with minute and exacting specifications to be a schoolroom for gods. Here, each candidate is challenged with a true test of spiritual strength. Each has absolute freedom of choice. Eternal justice prevails. For this reason it is necessary to give the adversary factor temporal power in order to draw out the maximum god-potential from each spiritual student. It has been explained how the streams of life force called Nature and Antinature govern the approaches to the heavenly Kingdom. Each controls a particular frequency band of energy. It is not cosmic policy to interfere in these departments unless a very special situation arises. Before the earth was populated with spiritual beings, Spirit formed a great pool of composite mind, and everything in the Universe resonated to the heart throb of My Will. Perfectly happy spirits were without any sense of individuality. The idea was inconceivable. Everyone was totally obedient. All worked towards common goals, very similar to colonies of ants or bees on earth today. The idea of raising individual cells to a level of self awareness, rather than puppet-like acceptance, was a bold step. Careful forethought ensured that the perfect purity of heaven would in no way be contaminated. I looked upon Myself to know Love. Life was good. My children would have a rich inheritance. Filled with this sense of needing to share the love and knowledge of the Universe, I began to see each spiritual spark as a potential co-heir to the Kingdom of Heaven. But first each cell must prove its worthiness and overcome a series of obstacles in order to rightfully assume God-status. At this point the spirit sparks resembled gaily tinted soap bubbles. This state of total contentment demanded the provision of powerful magnetic attractions to keep the reluctant cells anchored earth-side for a sufficient time to thoroughly explore the physical and provide themselves with a full identity trousseau. The Lesson is Love. Love is like the sea: a surging, ebbing, swelling tide of life energy, endless in the potentiality of its rhythmic variations. On earth My Seed would begin to explore the tremendous breadth, depth and diversity of Love. In its musical application, I would crystallize the harmony of the spheres, breaking it down into individual notes. This process, continued over the ages, would stretch like harp strings across dimensions. Love, anchored at one end in the lowest physical realm, would sweep in an unbroken line to the highest point of heaven with every possible variation in between. Love would span the Universe. In terms of light, taking the pure white light rays beaming from the Central Sun, I would refract these into myriad hues, that each shade or tone might be understood and appreciated individually. In the rhythmic sense I would capture aspects of the creative energy dance, breaking it down into microdots of form and function, in the same way that the microdots on a television screen dance together to form and reform a series of comprehensive picture sequences. Finally, when perfect speed of understanding is attained, all seemingly diverse components blend together into a glorious symphony of Love. Heaven and Earth are united. All is One. This is the lesson. At first My Seed, like tiny salmon eggs, are too fragile to traverse the turbulent ocean of love and life - too naive, too tender to grasp the diversity and complexity of the whole. They need a channel. Thus I provide a quiet stream of consciousness in which to grow, first to fingerlings, then through adolescence to maturity. I equip each tiny egg with the seed of desire, love of life, love of love. For whatever state of development an embryonic god may be at, only the seed of desire, like an ever-active dorsal fin, can propel the embryo to forward action. Desire is responsiveness to the stimuli of love. Love, an ever present homing signal, calls My Children home. The stream of life or Society wherein the egg is nourished is comparatively irrelevant. The babbling brook, the tiny stream, the river, what difference? All waters run to join the sea. Nothing can hinder he who has desire. Only the apathetic, the spiritually lazy, content to float in the familiar backwater of physical comforts and ideas, will fail to reach the Sea. Even so, at this time the current is powerful. Even the apathetic sense the rising tide. They cling to straws of the past, watching the gradual inundation of all their mundane concerns. Yet the strength of desire is so seriously diminished they cannot struggle against the tidal wave of My Incoming. Love flows on forever. Love is Beauty. Love is shared experience. This is the nature of the surging sea. Translated into the lowest possible common denominator, the channels to love thus become the built-in physical instincts of Survival, Sensation and Sex. When properly opened and explored, these three outlets for emotional energy propel mankind along the River of Life, carrying him all the way to heaven. Improper usage of life energy, failure to move on to the next level of enlightenment, results in stagnation in the swamp of ever repetitive "likes". These, with every repeat, drag the embryonic god, in ever tightening circles, down into the quicksand mire of carnality and death. As above so below. All earth life originated in the waters of the earth. Likewise all spiritual life originates in the Sea of Love. Evolution - both natural and spiritual - is the product of desire. Nature had the task of devising an incubator and a vehicle which could provide maximum pain and pleasure thresholds. In this way a full range of emotional experience can be registered. Within her territory spiritual desire and earthly instincts struggle for alignment. Ego and Superior-ego are symbols which represent the life-desire forces of nature in action. Together they provide channels through which the embryonic stream of god-consciousness must flow to reach the Spiritual Sea of I AM. Of these two forces, Ego represents base animal survival, sensation and sexual instincts. Acceptance of the powerful force of the animal part of human nature, and gaining an understanding of its advantages and disadvantages in relation to the spiritual goal, is the initial exploratory step in the ladder of ascending consciousness. Ego acts at the input. It takes each incoming morsel of data and screens it to suit the instinctual pattern of programmed desire essential to maintain a sense of continuity and well-being in the organism. For example, an adolescent youth instinctively screens every female within range in terms of her potential value as a sexual object. Selectivity increases with experience. The feminine ego acts likewise. But Ego has a governor: Super-ego, a factor which is highly responsive to the programmed expectations of the parent. These demands differ from society to society. They are also heavily subject to the degree of reinforcement received from the environment. Super-ego can be trained either by reward (primarily acceptance and approval) or by punishment (rejection and disapproval). Its response is heavily subsidized by tribal tradition, and desire to preserve the purity of the species. For example, a young adolescent might have been born to parents who subscribe to the Boy Scout movement and all the socially acceptable features it promotes. Under these circumstances, though instinctively scanning for young females, Super-ego would cut in with an interference circuit to spotlight an elderly person with a cane or heavy shopping basket who might need assistance. An Ego-Super-ego battle would result. The resistance might take the form of momentary hesitation, prolonged internal argument followed by rejection of or submission to Superior-ego's proposition. Superior-ego is the father of civilization -- a step beyond instinctive animal response, the capacity to be trained to think beyond Self. It can be invoked in any intelligent animal species. Here are two stories to demonstrate this theme. Sally was a German Shepherd. She was bred to a champion sire of such pedigree that in time she produced male triplet pups, identical to all intents and purposes. In due course three purchasers came along and bought the puppies. One was a family man who wanted the pup for a family pet. One was a prison guard who wanted a lethal weapon. One was a blind man who needed eyes. Sam, Silver and Tim were all beautiful dogs, eager to please, intelligent, responsive and stable when they left Sally. Each owner fed the dogs an identical diet. Let's pay each of them a visit one year later. We find Sam's nose peeking out from under the blankets in a little girl's bed. His toenails are varnished, for she enjoys dressing him up. She grabs his ears -- rolls over on top of him and Sam just loves it. Each night he lays at the foot of her bed, then works his way in under the blanket to get closer and closer to his friend. Actually one night a burglar came right into the room and stole the owner's jewelry, and Sam didn't even budge. The owner was very angry and complained that Sam is a terrible watchdog. Silver has been kept chained -- a one-man-dog for his trainer the prison guard. Each day he has been taught to respond to key attack words. He has been systematically and harshly trained to make him the most vicious weapon within the prison walls. The inmates are terrified. They often find ways to hurt him, by putting pins into meat balls. If anyone comes close or tries to pet him Silver's owner growls "bad dog" and complains that the dog shows traces of softness, he's just not up to par. Tim too has been trained. He's a bit out of shape but then so is Bill, his blind owner. They are never apart. Bill is a mature, calm, introspective man. He has no close friends or relatives -- just Tim. It is clear that both the dog and the man live for each other, and share a telepathic communion. Tim guards, fetches, leads; he is everything Bill could possibly desire. You can just hear the emotion in Bill's voice as he tells everyone he meets what an amazing dog Tim is -- and you can note the way Tim's ears twitch in response, for of course he understands every word. The question: Which is the best dog? Our next story is about two little princes, Richard and James, identical twins born to royal parents, good kind people, who really wanted children. But the King had an enemy -- a robber baron who lived in the hills, and swooped to plunder the Kingdom at every opportunity. Such an incident occurred the night the twins were born, and seeing his chance for an heir, the robber kidnapped one of the boys as he lay sleeping in the royal nursery. The robber took the infant back to his fortress, found a good wet nurse and raised the boy as his own son. The king never saw this child again. Richard was the apple of his parents' eye. He received the very best education, identity experiences, food, till the time came when he ascended to the throne and all the people cried "Hail good King Richard" -- for he was a good man, just like his father. James was much less good and considerably less stable. At a glance you could see this restlessness, and inner tension which often made him bad-tempered and sullen. He too had a good education. Less formal, but perfectly suited to survival by the sword. The robber became very fond of James, taught him to ride, swim, fish, hunt. Then he graduated to swordsmanship, plunder and theft. The robber was very satisfied with his heir. Now it so happened that one fine fall day both men were out hunting in the forest. Richard's horse tripped, and he was flung to the ground, where he died with a broken neck. Meanwhile his groom happened to see James and instantly recognized him as a wanted criminal for whom there were many guilders offered as a reward. He called out to James to halt -- and they were soon engaged in mortal combat. Finally James had the groom at his mercy, his sword point pressed against the man's throat ready for the coup de grace -- for both men were badly wounded. Then that restlessness flared up again. With an angry oath James flung his sword aside, got on his horse and rode off, leaving a trail of blood behind him. When the courtiers found the groom and body of their beloved King, they were furious. A group of soldiers were sent to chase after James, and very soon they had caught and killed him. Thus, that very same evening Richard and James found themselves standing side by side at the Pearly Gates. The gatekeeper beckoned; then, after a glance at the aura of the two men, he signalled James to come first. A beautiful angel with shimmering wings came forward to lead James away to the first plateau of heavenly ascent. Mean-while Richard was asked to wait in the anteroom while his case was under consideration. Why was James considered spiritually senior? And what have Sam, Silver and Tim got to do with Richard and James? Over the ages the stream of crude, instinctual animal consciousness is gradually modified by the civilizing influence of Superior-ego. As each heavenly messenger proclaims an updated curriculum, Superior-ego -- intelligent, responsive, anxious for acceptance -translates the message as best it can (for remember like and dislike are its only discriminatory tools) and incorporates this into its own code of morality and ethics. In this way Super-ego takes the essence of the curriculum and crystallizes the matrix into ice-cubes or learned response. However, by juggling the ice-cubes, or even huge cement blocks, into position, it fashions a pyramid of consciousness by laying the foundation stones for the next jumping off point of an even more refined curriculum to manifest. It is however a cumbersome workman, always resentful of change: most unwilling to concede to a better idea: loud in its protest "Crucify, crucify" until every minute ramification of the New has been dissected and cut into an acceptable shape to fit its own particular logic structure. Thus the pyramid of consciousness is formed by slow laborious retreat of former entrenched ideas, and replacement (often two thousand earth years in arrears) with the new. As the play progressed the curriculum accelerated, sunbursting into a thousand facets, which can be loosely classified under the heading "Modern Times". The Church gave birth to science (as it did to all formal educational processes) which turned out to be a precocious child soon able to stand on its own. Like all modern offspring it soon developed scientific Super-ego standards widely at variance with those of the parent. It struck out to consolidate its own version of "truth" unhampered by the cloying conscience of its forefathers. The industrial, mechanical, electrical and atomic age followed each other in rapid progression. Tension mounted likewise. Superior-ego was having to make rapid adjustments and that old diehard was never pliant. This aspect was very neatly summed up in Charlie Chaplin's classical film "Modern Times". The prevalent ray was beamed towards technical excellence, just as it had been in the final stages of the Atlantean Era. Once again I entrusted mankind with tremendous new sources of energy. The keys to heaven and hell. Or rather, a single power-key which could open both doors, this time to complete, total and utter destruction of the earth and all life upon it. Or to an abundant paradise of Energy which could be used to raise living standards so that all men could enjoy the luxuries of the rich; when each would live like a King; when hard labour would end; when the Sun would not smite with heat by day nor the cold by night. His the free choice. All this the outcome of wrong or right usage of Life Energy. Among the most fascinating developments of modern times was the introduction of the mechanical brain, or computer, and its logical extension - the mobile humanoid robot. "Let us reason together" saith the computer. "Gi-Go, Gi-Go, Gi- Go. You program garbage in you get garbage out. It is the law. My computations are only as good as my programming. I lack your human facility for modification of facts to suit sentimentality. I cannot lie or be hypocritical to gain social acceptance. I "compute." Which brings us around to the subject of Antichrist. Ego acts at the lowest instinctual level to select input. Superior-ego, the programmed conscience, governs conduct. These, from an objective point of view, are essential prerequisites to the comprehensive unfoldment of human consciousness. But, for awhile let's pretend that your computer is free of modification factors -- free of either hostility or favouritism, like or dislike. Symbols are symbols. Words are words. O.K.? Then let us consult Mr. Webster to find out just what the prefix anti implies: 1. A person opposed to some policy, proposal, action; 2. That which counteracts - as in antacid; 3. That which prevents, cures or neutralizes -- as in anti-toxin; 4. Opposite, reverse, as in antiperistalsis; 5. Rivalling as antipope. Ant - or ante also means "coming before", as in ante-room. So far so good. Now let's try antichrist: 1. An opponent or disbeliever in Christ; 2. In the Bible, the great antagonist of Christ, expected to spread universal evil before the end of the world. But finally to be conquered at Christ's second coming. (1 John 2:18); 3. A false Christ. Please note that the dictionary does not mention ante as "coming before" for the word Anti-Christ. Yet I feel the last item comes closest to what I had in mind at the outset. In fact the Superior-ego pyramid of crystallization must precede. Even so Super-ego tries to rival or set itself up as the supreme fount of wisdom, in which sense it certainly represents a false Christ. The word rival has interesting origins here: One living near or using the same stream as another -- associated in Latin with rivus, a brook, but influenced from another (unknown) source; 1. A person who tries to get or do the same thing as another, or to equal or surpass another; competitor. 2. To be a match for. Thus when the bright spark of life energy is captured in the womb of matter, it can be envisioned as having two angels in attendance, two swordsmen, one on either side. Ego learns to give way to Super-ego. Super-ego, convinced of its own capacity to know "right" is less inclined to be meek, preferring always to be the teacher rather than a student. It is up to the I AM to "go with the devil as far as the bridge". To learn all it can in Super-ego's kindergarten, then be prepared to take command of the ship and sail the high seas of Cosmic consciousness in the "Spirit" of the Law. St. Paul explains it very well. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Ephesians 6:12 To smooth the ascent of human consciousness, to make a stairway to heaven wherein the steam, water -- yes and even the crystalline picture -- is in perfect alignment, it is necessary that The Word must precede. The Word must show the way. Then The Word must give way and learn that Spirit has a mind of its own. Superior-ego teaches yesterday's curriculum -- the intellectual aspects of Christianity, or Islam, or Buddhism, Judaism, Hinduism or Metaphysics. Then comes the test, namely Applied Christianity, Applied Islam, Applied Buddhism, Applied Hinduism, or among My People, Applied Metaphysics. The fereal rather than ferecitation. It's easy enough to rate how you stand in the present situation. I AM Love. Are You?
How many good "Christians", on hearing that antichrist is abroad, lose all remnants of their Christian teachings of love and react with hostility, even violence. Even as the pharisees, defenders of the old curriculum, crucified The New, The Christ, because he so outshone them in application of the Spirit of the Law. My People have tested this Superior-ego devil many times. We have watched the Spirit quicken in response to the impact of the vibe, then seen the initial joy replaced by fear, hidden feelings of inadequacy or threat. We have seen the intellect take over and go scampering to safety in the familiarity of creed. Invariably the self-righteous Super-ego reaction is stronger in those who feel they have a spiritual position to uphold. The Bishop of G., for example, on looking into My eyes, showed some faint glimmer of recognition, then shock, before the curtain closed. Nuns often respond otherwise. There is one particular little lady about eighty years old, an incorrigible Saint. With a gleeful wink she whispered, "You people don't have me fooled. I know the name of the game" as she skipped off in ecstasy, having delivered some flowers from her garden to the strange people who live next door. Perhaps, like Jesus, having chosen to be born into an old established faith, I tend to expect more from its professed defenders, who vow to cherish The Law of Love. Much is expected of those to whom much has been given. However, identical reactions always show up regardless of denomination. The "common man" is far less rigid in Super-ego attitude than so-called "Spiritual Leaders" ... though doubtless there are exceptions to this rule. We, that is My People and I, who have been active on the planet now for over twelve years, took sample ratings in a wide variety of situations -- the man on the street, Jehovah's Witness, many branches of Protestantism, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, Judaism. Clearly the fact emerged that the more repetitive reinforcement the Super-ego programming receives the more it appropriates. For example, for several Sundays running My Chancellor High Perry and his beautiful wife Judy attended church services in a spotless little village in Ontario. The Perry's are clear-eyed and gentle people, soft spoken, polite, most socially acceptable. They were met with suspicion. Finally the minister and his wife asked outright if they were "born again" Christians. Hugh hesitated, then, "There is only God. I certainly love God". Whereupon the minister's wife announced he must worship the devil and insisted he leave her house and never come back. The devil rumour spread rapidly. The ex-Reeve of Madoc Village took it upon himself to check it out. Blushing somewhat when he quickly realized the" devil" was ignorance, he repeated that he was not a religious man but felt duty bound to fight any devilish activities in his community. Over the ages the co-ordinates of the Spirit-Super-ego battle have never altered. A man either applies the law to his own life, thus living in the true Spirit of Love. Or, ever suspicious of the new, he clings to wordy rhetoric, often yards and yards of fancy quotations and arguments all designed to show himself to be spiritually superior to his opponent. Thus man may now be said to be living in the Age of Ante - or Antichrist. And though I earnestly desire church-men as My Wedding guests, unless they rapidly open up, it looks as if once again we will have to go to the streets to fill the guest list. Almost every word I spoke as Jesus of Nazareth has been fed to the devil -- Superior-ego. The inevitable appropriation began immediately after My departure. I sought out My beloved servant John, entrusting to him the responsibility of leaving a message for the final earth generation. John was living on Patmos at the time. He was quite startled when I first appeared. But true to form he never missed a single detail of the script. The "Revelation" was overtly aimed at the young churches, who, even then were getting off track with super-egotistical appropriation of the Vibe. I tried to be encouraging. First they were complimented on all positive contributions. "Nevertheless I have something against thee because thou hast left thy first love." Somehow, in the heat of physical activity their motivation had strayed a little. To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life. He that overcometh cannot be hurt of the second death when the spirit is required to give an accounting of its usage of life energy. And to Pergamos write: I know you are situated among bad vibes and ego maniacs and that you are trying very hard. Nevertheless there is room for improvement. Some among you are caught up in adultery with other gods. Repent quickly or I will have to take action, as this is causing a stumbling block for others. Tune in to My Wavelength and I will renew your strength. I will wipe away the errors from the identity and make all things new. You will even receive a new name to match the renewed personality. Thyatira: You too are making progress but Superior-ego is appropriating the emotion. That Jezebel is taking over from the true God-vibe, and invading your purity of thought. Personality cult is seducing those who come to you looking for spiritual sustenance. I have allowed time for you to realize this, but Superior-ego is still predominant. This means I will have to wipe out this contamination down to the last error. For I AM He who sees the way your mind operates. I deal justice for all. I will not harm those who are free of this contamination. Just hold on fast to the truth till I come. He that overcometh and keepeth the Spirit of My Word unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations. And he shall rule them firmly. As the vessels of a potter, Super-ego shall be broken to shivers; even as I received of My Father in the scorifying process. And I will give him the morning star -- the very first ray of light and hope to hit the planet. Sardis: You show weakness. Remember who I AM and what our eternal mission is all about. A few of you are maintaining an immaculate aura. They shall stay with Me. I will not blot their names out of the Book of Life, but acknowledge their fidelity in front of all. Philadelphia: I have opened your consciousness and no one can take it away. You are doing relatively well. Symbolically speaking, a Jew is one who really lives by the Law. Sometimes it seems that those who just pay lip service get along just as well. There will come many like that in the latter days who preach Christianity but don't live up to its precepts, just those selectively screened as "like" by egotistical survey. Behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet and to know that I have loved thee. Because thou hast served Me in patience I will keep thee from the hour of temptation which shall come upon all the world to try all earth dwellers. Behold I come quickly. Hold fast to that which you have, that no man take away thy crown. Him that overcometh, who puts life energy to right use, is like a pillar in the temple. There will be no further separation. His countenance will proclaim that he is of God. And he will become a citizen of the new earth age which even now descends out of heaven. And he will have a new identity to inherit that Kingdom. To the Laodiceans write: I know thy works that thou are neither cold nor hot. I would that thou had passion -- either negative or positive. So then, because thou art lukewarm I will spew thee out of my mouth. Because thou sayest -- I have all the physical things I need, what else do I need? You don't even know that from a spiritual viewpoint you are wretched and poor and blind and naked. I advise you to seek spiritual wealth, gold tried in the fire, and gain a pure aura. That the shame of thy nakedness does not appear. And let spirit anoint thine eyes with spiritual eyesalve, that you can see what Super-ego is doing to you. I rebuke those I love, for the stakes are very high. Be zealous and repent. I, your Christself, is standing at the door. Open up your heart and let Me in. Come share your inheritance as princes of the Kingdom of Heaven. It is difficult to convey the symbols representing the activities of the intelligent force field sometimes known as Lucifer. For as yet ye cannot understand how the Rival operates upon the collective unconscious. But it is clear to see the fruit of his works. Because of its seductive powers of persuasion, ego is often personified as female by the disciples. They were, after all, sons of man struggling with fleshy temptations the same as everyone else. We have often compared blood in the physical dimension with life energy in the spiritual dimension. This analogy is pertinent to a description of Antichrist given in Chapter 17 of Revelation: "Come here John, I will shew you how the great whore will be judged. She with whom the kings of the earth have committed adultery -- and all the inhabitants of earth have been forced to submit." And he took me off to see this woman. Her display of wealth, power and self-assuredness was unbelievable. In one hand she held a golden cup marked "Mis-use of life energy", and from it bubbled idolatries like nationalism, power-hunger, hypocrisy, media bias, cruelty, one-upmanship, dirty politics, orgy, theft, murder, greed, self-centredness, deceit. Upon her forehead she was branded with the word symbol of carnal degradation -- Babylon (babble-on Super-ego!), the infidel. It was plain for all to see. Mystery. Babylon the Great. The Mother of harlots and abominations of the Earth. Superior-ego's self-confidence was incredible. She was absolutely drunk with the life energy wrung from any who dared defy her. In all history she had lapped up saints and martyrs like hors d'oeuvres. For they had dared to challenge her dominance. John was staggered. He had never seen anything as solidly enthroned. Whereupon the angel began to tell what the symbols indicated. Except for My Chosen Ones, all they who dwell on earth are caught up in service to this antichrist. The intelligent force field which attracts all misspent energy unto itself controls a bottomless pit. Before the end comes, all the collective planetary effluvia which has accumulated during mankind's free will control of the planet has to be released. We can't close the books till everything --every last jot and tittle -- is accounted for. Those who have been trusted with leadership -- politicians, premiers, kings, church leaders, merchants, executives -- have all betrayed their royal trust to Super-ego. In seeking earthly status and power they have gradually lost their love while proclaiming integrity. These have one mind and shall give their support and power to the beast. Everyone wants to get on the beastly bandwagon, and for a very short time they will receive power as kings by sponsoring the beast. These shall make war with the Lamb of God and the Lamb shall overcome. For He is Lord of Lords and King of Kings. And His retinue are chosen and faithful. The waters which thou sawest where the whore sitteth are peoples and multitudes and nations and tongues, all betrayed by their leaders, who put other gods before Me. Nevertheless, our central intelligence agency is active too. Ten princes of My Household who forsook their royal heritage overcame, and agreed once more to ride with the beast in this last battle. Until The Word is fulfilled. And the woman which thou sawest is that great international collective super-ego conglomerate which reigneth over the kings of earth. Then came another angel of Light, Power and Glory, saying the physical Kingdom is disintegrating. The two worlds -- the old world and the new age -- are pulling apart. Babylon is fallen, is fallen, and has become the habitation of every foul thing possible. For all the nations have misused life energy and their leaders have committed adultery by putting personal, regional and national issues before the first commandment. And great international combines, using the weakness of mass greed, have waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies. Come out of her my people, that ye be not involved in materialism and its plagues. For her sins have reached unto heaven and it is time for My intervention. Fight her with passion. Redouble your efforts with right use of energy. Give her back double. How much has she glorified herself and lived deliciously on stolen energy, saying in her heart, 'I will never be discovered'. I rule this planet. Let her see it's not so. In one day I shall devastate her territory, by death, mourning, and by cutting her supply of life energy. And she shall be utterly burned with fire when mankind sees how she has crippled the identity, and my green earth. And all the power of structured order will go up in smoke, while kings and merchants bewail the loss of their mistress. Not too obviously though, but from their ego-built fortresses. As they watch -- stock markets falling, exposes, recriminations: "Oh my god super-ego! It's the end of the world! It's come!" I.T.T. (symbolic for power magnates) will go berserk as the bottom drops out of the market. Luxury goods have no value -- nor all the odours and ointments and detergents and deodorants, cosmetics, junk foods, fashions, cars. Even that popular commodity throughout the ages -- commercial slavery and souls of men -- won't be for sale any more. Now the beast will really fight back. Hey you scientists! Make me some poison gas, make me some napalm, some submarines, some atomic weapons -- paycheck no object! Hey you entertainer! Let's get some good hard porn into this show, stir up the appetite. Let's make Dirty Harry look like a choirboy. Bring in some kids. Hey you Labour Union organizer! Let's get this riot underway. Get the crowd angry. Make sure no voice of reason gets heard. Mow down the moderate. Hey you businessman! Let's lower the quality and get the price up. Don't give Me no back chat about pollution. There's no profit that way. Armaments are the most profitable. Hey you politician! Expediency comes before honour. We're in too deep now to pull out. Power is for those who know how to use it. Besides, your wife will never forgive you if you back off. Hey you charity organizer! Our overhead is going up again. We just have to keep a higher percentage of our dollar intake for expenses. What do you say we try for 99%? Hey there Media Man! Let's pile the negative criticism on anyone who makes a move to sanity. We'll show'em the power of a "free" press. Edit out reason, edit in bias. Let's rip'em to pieces. Hey you man on the street! Can't you see they're all out to get you. Just grab whatever you can anyway you can get it. Who gives a damn anyway?
As above so below. Ingestion and digestion must necessarily be coupled with excretion. The bottomless pit is like any other outhouse, buzzing with flies and all other manner of bacteria that live on decaying excretion. Earth is not composed of dead matter. It is a living Presence, breathing and growing. The law of life and growth is also the law of death of the old and excretion of waste material, which then goes on to be recycled to serve a life form in more elementary stages of evolution. Which is exactly what happens to the misused life energy in the bottomless pit. Antichrist, like the Holy Ghost, is present in everyone. It represents the horrible distortion of all that is intended to be good and beautiful and right, the misuse of the three great love- gifts of life. Survival becomes insatiable power, status and security hunger. Sensation, the potential to be enthraled by the sights, sounds, smells, tastes and touch in the wonderful manifestation of form, becomes sensationalism. Sex, the basic meaningful method of reciprocity of love -- maternal, paternal childlike, companionship, mating -- becomes horribly twisted into manipulation and lust. Force fields, Archangels, Rays, Life streams are intelligent and alive even though they themselves operate without a fleshy vehicle. The Archangel Lucifer and his host is no myth. Lucifer represents an intelligent rival to the Christ-Vibe. It feeds upon the collective dross of planetary effluvia, the unconscious Super- egotistical resistance to the incoming tide of applied spiritually in action. This manifests in confusion and aggression on a global scale. This has been active throughout the ages. It has been permitted in order that the true earth harvest may be reaped. Antichrist, The Rival, that which comes before Christ, is solidly enthroned on earth today. As more spiritual power becomes available, the beast, appropriating this unto itself grows daily in strength and audacity. As any parent knows, you don't tell your children what to do. They mature only when they experience life for themselves. I AM quite serious in My intention to raise man to godly powers. Lucifer has access to the collective human unconscience and plans his strategy by the rearranging of wicked ideas in order to come up with even more deadly combinations. Individual egos are his "angels". Like flies, they are attracted towards the cesspool in the way that spirit is magnetized towards light. A web of intrigue and darkness surrounds surreptitious activity, for ego loves secrets. Selling one's soul to the Devil is rarely done in a single conscious decision. Each choice, for right or wrong, gives both Spirit and ego a readout on the strength or weakness of the identity structure. Ego can only attack a weak identity, promising to fill in the crack so no-one else will notice. By gradually interpenetrating identity cracks, ego builds up a dependence. It strikes deeper and deeper into the identity core with every opportunity, gradually leading the person into doing things he wouldn't have dreamed of at earlier stages in the take- over. To break free from ego-dominance then requires double the energy expenditure that was used in the original take-over. Once around cancels the misuse of life energy. Twice around pays back that which was formerly misspent. Thus, this gives it double injunction. Spirit - a light - automatically fills the vacancy, in the way that light automatically fills a dark room when the switch is flicked on. Defeating ego is not a matter of learning, but rather of unlearning, tracing its network of growth right back to the beginning of the take-over and retaking the ground for Spirit step by step. A personality which had been solidly based on the rock of the first commandment allows little ego interference. Though few understand the depth, breadth and scope that the first commandment implies: Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. 1 Corinthians 13:1 The vociferous advocacy of christian precepts presented in the circus-like setting of modern American evangelism is a very one- sided presentation. It makes fertile territory for antichrist to slip into the cracks. A nice straight-forward ideologically oriented devil is a handy scapegoat. Similarly a nationalistic God makes for cosy gatherings. I remember the shock some of My people had in Washington a few years ago. The school of thought propounded by the Ascended Masters seemed accurate and very well presented. They decided to check out Summit Lighthouse, which was making a public presentation of its version of these teachings. Many words and little music was the verdict. This was primarily because of the anti-communistic bogey running through the entire presentation, in a manner quite foreign to the intent of the true teaching. The moment a man says in his heart "I am good", ego pounces. GOD ALONE IS GOOD. I support no ideology, no nation, no creed. I support all who put life energy to right use and the devil takes care of the rest. Modern evangelists remind me of the rising Atlantean churches and the vigorous competition for the best head count. Money, goods and services poured in. But these went to strengthen the position and status of the priests of the church, rather than really helping the people. Huge temples, organized worship, and a tremendous percentage of income were spent in public relations to increase the external appearance that it was receiving heavenly support. Paul Emile Leger, Lotta Hitchmanova, and Sister Theresa are some good examples of what I really had in mind. They pay no attention to status quo, public image, or fancy trimmings. They refuse to support the beast. They have no fine clothes or cars, or high expense accounts or multi-million dollar personal bank accounts. Rather they stand as I once did, in a simple garment of a purified aura, giving and giving of themselves to those in need. Insofar as you do it unto the least these, you do it unto Me. I visited Lotta once. That was about the time that she had fallen from popularity with her own executives. While she was out of the country on an assignment, the directors were interviewing potential replacements. They thought she was going a little balmy. She lived in a truly modest apartment, muttered aloud to herself about waste and junkfood in the grocery store, fished carbon paper out of the waste paper baskets at the office to try to keep down the overhead and ensure that the money raised got to the people, where it belonged. I sat before dawn with the Hopi Indians at Habitat, observing a group of world leaders who agreed that singly a man can do nothing. So they called a conference, got together to agree that nothing could be done, and then passed a resolution anyway. Ego loves conferences. Lots of good high sounding talk to take the pressure off action. Action could be fatal, so keep'em propounding their own myopic points of view. That'll end any revolutionary progress. Nip it in the bud. Such is the harlot that feeds on the blood of saints. Because I AM ALL IN ALL, I must take the responsibility for the play. My Omnipotence, The Eternal Ongoing Process, must absorb the anti-theochristic force field, even as matter and anti-matter cancel each other out. In every age I come back. As Jahl, the personality I return in greater power with each upgrading in the vibratory sea, to conquer the Super-egotistical Rival in My own assumed personality. In this sense, in Jesus I was a man just like any other man, subject to the limitations and temptations of the flesh. With each return I grow to manhood, keep My forty day tryst with the devil, then emerge victorious. Likewise each micro-cell of spirit must win its own battle with the micro-cell of Satan within its own personality. Truth must triumph over lies. Love over anger. Clarity over confusion. Light over darkness. Such is the Law. Notice during your own hour of temptation how Ego constantly switches face. Recognize the four faces of Ego well, for each will take its turn and take its toll. I call these the four beasts, which must necessarily sit at the foot of the throne, for in overcoming them My Kingdom manifests on Earth. John continued his tour of things to be. I invited him up to the control room, where the executive directors of the galaxy were in audience. Before the throne there was a sea of glass like unto crystal. No thought pollution here. And in the midst of the throne and round about the throne were four beasts full of eyes before and behind -the four facets of ego. The first beast was like a lion. arrogant; aggressive; strong. Quick to roar and defend its territory. Quick to intimidate the identity which shows resistance to its supremacy. Primitive male instinct. King of the jungle. The crucifixion crux. And the second facet is like a calf, timidly pleading for sympathy and kindness; human weakness, shying away from battle when the identity tries to pin it down to objective truth. The "Poor me, I'm so weak and inoffensive" trait in humanity; that which never sticks its neck out for right. The succour of W.W.II. The accommodation factor. And the third beast had the face of a man. A clever beast, quick with intellectual argument. Super-ego, the magnificent and deadly Rival, with all the wealth of intellect at it's command. The externally focused man, a manipulative doubting devil, dependent solely on the five physical senses for its confirmations. The man face I well recall. "If you are the Son of God, why don't you throw yourself down from this mountain? For surely the angels will bear you up. Come on, prove it to me. Send down a golden chariot -- something my intellect can grasp rather than discern. I challenge you." And the fourth beast was like a flying eagle. Selective ego, looking outward, seeing only what it wants to see, screening out all facts save the motions of its prey. That which judges according to personal "likes", despite the warning "judge not lest ye be judged". "Old eagle eye ego" we call him. The facet which, whenever I AM would turn the spotlight inward to search out the mote in its own eye, and explore the inner realms of consciousness, quickly points out deficiencies in others to take the light off self- examination. Such are the faces of Ego. However, when the inner lamp is lit and the journey into inner space is on, the beasts are gradually tamed, now to serve I AM, with powerful constructive rather than destructive goals. The unfettered lion is fearless in defence of truth. The deer is gentle, kind, co-operative. The intellect, uncluttered, is glad to work in light. The eagle eye probes inward, now with microscopic sights, to see other error within, that minus the moat in its eye it may look for good, and fill its Mind with Light contributing to constructive rather than destructive goals. Together they rejoice in wholeness and holiness.
For the alternative was infinite nothingness. A world of puppets. What would you have done?
Lucifer, oh Lucifer, My bright and Morning Star, heralding the dawn of the new age, rising before the Sunrise, clearing the way for The Christ Incarnate - you have done well with the portion of life energy allotted to your force field. You have culled My flock, pruned My vineyard with dedicated diligence that we may reap a qualitative rather than a quantitative harvest. I AM well pleased. The mystery is almost done. Your seat as guardian of the Kingdom of heaven awaits. My first God-Children of Planet Earth are already born. Most glorious of Archangels, I still recall the spiritual humility with which you accepted your task - a secret mission known only to ourselves. I hear the unflinching note of your response, head high, eyes dry. "Let Thy Will be done. On earth as it is here in Heaven." |
