Are you decorated with skull and crossbones or with a flower?

An army of Angels has been unleashed, Hark can you hear the beating of there wings?

Can you hear the crying and gnashing of teeth of your brother or sister?

The Light will conquer the darkness, it has been prophesized

Christ will be seen again, Thy Kingdom has come, A man from the East will be the vessel for the antichrist

The Day of Judgement is on the horizon, man will judge himself against the light of God

And any wrong doings or sin will automatically evaporate like mist rising off a lake

But Mother Nature also needs too heal, she will be angry, she will throw tantrums

White man will fight against white man, Christian against muslim, brother against sister

All imbalances have too be rectified, nullified, sanctified,

The horsemen of the Apocalypse are on the move, hoofs drumming, mouths lathered in sweat

The earth will be leveled with a giant broom and turned so the Garden of Eden can sprout once again

5000 years hence Heaven was there, the birds of paradise sang there enchanting songs

Can you hear there musical melodies, can you see the beautiful faces of  Valhalla

They are also calling, calling ………calling

Subject: ET to Earth: Do You Wish That We Show UP?
Date: Thu, 23 Oct 2003 14:49:47 -0600


Introductory Letter : ITEMS: ET to Earth: Do You Wish That We Show UP?
MWM: This long letter to humanity appeared with no apparent return address. It is being
posted here and there. This is another internet piece for which I cannot assess the validity. All I
CAN say is that it sounds like a good idea, is coherent, and is written skillfully at a level of
intelligence and maturity with I would associate with a serious, non-technical, matter-of-fact
level of discourse. It is not ethnically loaded and the writer has a very good understanding of
language and human psychology, though there are a few moments where the grammar is different
than we are accustomed to and there are a couple of language errors. Most importantly, it makes
no reference to impossible constructs, faux-tech, nor any type of religious or New Age
buzzwords. This is as clean a straight-shooting letter as you will find. Accordingly I am
sending it to you to "vet" it and see what our Phoenix Five brain trust surmises about it. I am
also sending it to you because it might be real...

The main assertion in the letter is that human civilization is now in an uncontrollable free-fall
implosion which cannot be "fixed" from within existing social systems. The implosion is
causing, will cause a major rupture in all human orders. There is a dark road down toward the
use of technology to rapidly enslave human populations in a badly degraded and unhealthy
environment. Those who are defining this path, many of them unintentionally, have the greater
advantage of power over resources and may gain the upper hand during the coming rupture.
There are many who would take a liberating path, they could gain the upper hand if they
UNDERSTAND THE CHOICE and can lose their fear, sense of isolation, and ignorance about
the true state of affairs.

The main proposition in the letter is that the mass appearance of ET in the skies now could help
humanity clear away the veils of illusion and deceits, help settle many existential issues and
dilemmas, and provide an "attractor" to help pull positive mentalities out of the social
death-vortex and enable them to refocus the next stage in evolution.

The main question in the letter is whether you want ET to thus show UP. ET suggests that direct
contact and some cultural assistance would provide the means to overcome the major blocks in
human social and cultural evolution.

ET argues that the mental/emotional ground needs to be prepared for such contact. Consent and
expectation for such contact needs to be created around the world, less humans react in mass
with fear and become manipulated by reactive power elites. ET suggests that a focused
telepathic answer from each reader will be sufficient to assist ET is reaching a conclusion about
what it should or should not do.

Even as the internet is achieving universal penetration during this time, ET requests that this
letter, its first mass communication, be universally translated and transmitted throughout the
world. ET also suggests that this should be done by people to people, forget the mass media.

As I said, this is very interesting. It is totally free of all of the "channeling" schtuff, thank God! I
have no idea whose plot line this fits into, one could assume many different attitudes and takes
on this piece. Is it merely another writer creating the basis for another book or movie plot and
generating an audience as heshe goes? Several have done such a thing on other topics, so some
healthy skepticism is inevitably appropriate. But that skepticism may not at all be a hindrance in
answering the question posed in the letter. It may in fact help. And maybe, just maybe....well,
here is the letter. Here it is unaltered by me. Decide for yourself. ~mwm~


CHANGE THE WORLD!

"DECIDE WHETHER WE SHOULD SHOW UP!"

Whoever transmitted this translated message to you is irrelevant, and should remain anonymous in your mind. It is what you will do with this message which matters !

Each one of you wishes to exercise her/his free will and experience
happiness.

These are attributes that were shown to us and to which we now have
access. Your free will depends upon the knowledge you have of your own power.
Your happiness depends upon the love that you give and receive.

Like all conscious races at this stage of progress, you may feel isolated
on your planet. This impression makes you sure of your destiny. Yet, you are at
the brink of big upheavals that only a minority is aware of.

It is not our responsibility to modify your future without you choosing
it. Consider this message as a worldwide referendum! And your answer as a
ballot!


Who are we ?

Neither your scientists nor your religious representatives speak
unanimously about the unexplained celestial events that mankind has witnessed
for thousands of years. To know the truth, one must face it without the filter
of one´s beliefs, however respectable they may be.

A growing number of anonymous researchers of yours are exploring new
knowledge paths and are getting very close to reality. Today, your civilization
is flooded with an ocean of information of which only a tiny part, the less
upsetting one, is notably diffused.

What in your history seemed ridiculous or improbable has often become
possible, then realised, in particular in the last fifty years. Be aware that
the future will be even more surprising. You will discover the worst as well as
the best.

Like billions others in this galaxy, we are conscious creatures that some
name "extra-terrestrials", even though reality is subtler.

There is no fundamental difference between you and us, save for the
experience of certain stages of evolution. Like in any other organised
structure, hierarchy exists in our internal relationships. Ours is based upon
the wisdom of several races. It is with the approval of this hierarchy that we
turn to you.

Like most of you, we are in the quest of the Supreme Being. Therefore we
are not gods or lesser gods but virtually your equals in the Cosmic
Brotherhood.

Physically, we are somewhat different from you but for most of us
humanoid-shaped.

Our existence is a reality but the majority of you does not perceive it
yet. We are not mere observations, we are consciences just like you. You fail
to apprehend us because we remain invisible to your senses and measure
instruments most of the time.

We wish to fill this void at this moment in your history. We made this
collective decision but this is not enough. We need yours. Through this
message, you become the decision-makers ! You personally.

We have no human representative on Earth who could guide your decision.

Why aren´t we visible ?

At certain stages of evolution, cosmic "humanities" discover new forms of
science beyond the apparent control of matter. Structured dematerialisation and
materialisation are part of them. This is what your humanity has reached in a
few laboratories, in close collaboration with other "extra-terrestrial"
creatures at the cost of hazardous compromises that remain purposedly hidden
from you by some of your representatives.

Apart from the aerial or spatial objects or phenomena known about by your
scientific community, that you call UFO's, there are essentially
multidimensional manufactured spaceships that apply these capacities.
Many human beings have been in visual, auditory, tactile or psychic contact with such
ships, some of which are under occult powers that "govern" you. The scarcity of
your observations is due to the outstanding advantages provided by the
dematerialised state of these ships.

By not witnessing them by yourself, you cannot believe in their existence.
We fully understand this.

The majority of these observations are made on an individual basis so as
to touch the soul and not to modify any organised system. This is deliberate
from the races that surround you but for very different reasons and results.

For negative multidimensional beings that play a part in the exercise of
power in the shadow of human oligarchy, discretion is motivated by their will
to keep their existence and seizure unknown.

For us, discretion is motivated by the respect of the human free will that
people can exercise to manage their own affairs so that they can reach
technical and spiritual maturity on their own. Humankind´s entrance into the
family of galactic civilisations is greatly expected.

We can appear in broad daylight and help you attain this union. We haven´t
done it so far, as too few of you have genuinely desired it, because of
ignorance, indifference or fear, and because the emergency of the situation did
not justify it. Many of those who study our appearances count the lights in the
night without lighting the way. Often they think in terms of objects when it is
all about conscious beings.

Who are you ?

You are the offspring of many traditions that throughout time have been
mutually enriched by each others´ contributions. The same applies to the races
at the surface of the Earth. Your goal is to unite in the respect of these
roots to accomplish a common project. The appearance of your cultures seems to
keep you separated because you substitute it to your deeper being. Shape is now
more important than the essence of your subtle nature. For the powers in place,
this prevalence of the shape constitutes the ramparts against any form of
jeopardy.

You are being called on to overcome shape while still respecting it for
its richness and beauty. Understanding the conscience of shape makes us love
men in their diversity. Peace does not mean not making war, it consists in
becoming what you are in reality: a same Fraternity.

To understand this, the number of solutions within your reach are
decreasing. One of them consists in contact with another race that would
reflect the image of what you are in reality.

What is your situation ?

Except for rare occasions, our interventions always had very little
incidence on your capacity to make collective and individual decisions about
your own future. This is motivated by our knowledge of your deep psychological
mechanisms.

We reached the conclusion that freedom is built every day as a being
becomes aware of himself and of his environment, getting progressively rid of
constraints and inertias, whatever they may be. Despite the numerous, brave and
willing human consciences, those inertias are artificially maintained for the
profit of a growing centralising power.

Until recently, mankind lived a satisfying control of its decisions. But
it is losing more and more the control of its own fate because of the growing
use of advanced technologies, which lethal consequences on the earthly and
human ecosystems become irreversible. You are slowly but surely losing your
extraordinary capacity to make life desirable. Your resilience will
artificially decrease, independently of your own will. Such technologies exist
that affect your body as well as your mind. Such plans are on their way.

This can change as long as you keep this creative power in you, even if it
cohabits with the dark intentions of your potential lords. This is the reason
why we remain invisible. This individual power is doomed to vanish should a
collective reaction of great magnitude not happen. The period to come is that
of rupture, whichever it may be.

But should you wait for the last moment to find solutions ? Should you
anticipate or undergo pain ?

Your history has never ceased to be marked by encounters between peoples
who had to discover one another in conditions that were often conflictual.
Conquests almost always happened to the detriment of others. Earth has now
become a village where everyone knows everyone else but still conflicts persist
and threats of all kinds get worse in duration and intensity.

Although a Human being as an individual, yet having many potential
capacities, cannot exercise them with dignity. This is the case for the biggest
majority of you for reasons that are essentially geopolitical.

There are several billion of you. The education of your children and your
living conditions, as well as the conditions of numerous animals and much plant
life are nevertheless under the thumb of a small number of your political,
financial, military and religious representatives.

Your thoughts and beliefs are modelled after partisan interests to turn
you into slaves while at the same time giving you the feeling that you are in
total control of your destiny, which in essence is the reality.

But there is a long way between a wish and a fact when the true rules of
the game at hand are unknown. This time, you are not the conqueror. Biasing
information is a millenary strategy for human beings. Inducting thoughts,
emotions or organisms that do not belong to you via ad hoc technologies is an
even older a strategy.

Wonderful opportunities of progress stand close to big subdual and
destruction threats. These dangers and opportunities exist now. However, you
can only perceive what is being shown to you. The end of natural resources is
programmed whereas no long-term collective project has been launched.

Ecosystem exhaustion mechanisms have exceeded irreversible limits. The
scarcity of resources and their unfair distribution - resources which entry
price will rise day after day - will bring about fratricide fights at a large
scale, but also at the very heart of your cities and countrysides.

Hatred grows bigger but so does love. That is what keeps you confident in
your ability to find solutions. But the critical mass is insufficient and a
sabotage work is cleverly being carried out.

Human behaviours, formed from past habits and trainings, have such an
inertia that this perspective leads you to a dead end. You entrust these
problems to representatives, whose conscience of common well-being slowly fades
away in front of corporatist interests, with those difficulties. They are
always debating on the form but rarely on the content.

Just at the moment of action, delays will accumulate to the point when you
have to submit rather than choose. This is the reason why, more than ever in
your history, your decisions of today will directly and significantly impact
your survival of tomorrow.

What event could radically modify this inertia that is typical of any
civilisation ? Where will a collective and unifying awareness come from, that
will stop this blind rushing ahead ?

Tribes, populations and human nations have always encountered and
interacted with one another. Faced with the threats weighing upon the human
family, it is perhaps time that a greater interaction occurred.

A great roller wave is on the verge of emerging. It mixes very positive
but also very negative aspects.

Who are the "third party" ?

There are two ways to establish a cosmic contact with another
civilisation: via its standing representatives or directly with individuals
without distinction. The first way entails fights of interests, the second way
brings awareness.

The first way was chosen by a group of races motivated by keeping mankind
in slavery, thereby controlling Earth resources, the gene pool and human
emotional energy.

The second way was chosen by a group of races allied with the cause of the
Spirit of service. We have, at our end, subscribed to this disinterested cause
and introduced ourselves a few years ago to representatives of the human power
who refused our outstretched hand on the pretext of incompatible interests with
their strategic vision.

That is why today individuals are to make this choice by themselves
without any representative interfering. What we proposed in the past to those
whom we believed were in a capacity to contribute to your happiness, we propose
it now to ... you!

Most of you ignore that non-human creatures took part in the exercise of
those centralising powers without them being neither suspected nor accessible
to your senses. This is so true that they have almost very subtly taken
control. They do not necessarily stand on your material plan, and that is
precisely what could make them extremely efficient and frightening in the near
future. However, be aware that a large number of your representatives are
fighting this danger ! Be aware that not all abductions are made against you.
It is difficult to recognize the truth !

How could you under such conditions exercise your free will when it is so
much manipulated ? What are you really free of ?

Peace and reunification of your peoples would be a first step toward the
harmony with civilisations other than yours.

That is precisely what those who manipulate you behind the scenes want to
avoid at all cost because, by dividing, they reign! They also reign over those
who govern you. Their strength comes from their capacity to distillate mistrust
and fear into you. This considerably harms your very cosmic nature.

This message would be of no interest if these manipulators´ tutorate did
not reach its peak and if their misleading and murderous plans did not
materialise in a few years from now. Their deadlines are close and mankind will
undergo unprecedented torments for the next ten cycles.

To defend yourselves against this aggression that bears no face, you need
at least to have enough information that leads to the solution.

As is also the case with humans, resistance exists amongst those dominant
races. Here again, appearance will not be enough to tell the dominator from the
ally. At your current state of psychism, it is extremely difficult for you to
distinguish between them. In addition to your intuition, training will be
necessary when the time has come.

Being aware of the priceless value of free will, we are inviting you to an
alternative.

What can we offer ?

We can offer you a more holistic vision of the universe and of life,
constructive interactions, the experience of fair and fraternal relationships,
liberating technical knowledge, eradiction of suffering, controlled exercise of
individual powers, the access to new forms of energy and, finally, a better
comprehension of consciousness.

We cannot help you overcome your individual and collective fears, or bring
you laws that you would not have chosen, work on your own selves, individual
and collective effort to build the world you desire, the spirit of quest to new
skies.

What would we receive ?

Should you decide that such a contact takes place, we would rejoice over
the safeguarding of fraternal equilibrium in this region of the universe,
fruitful diplomatic exchanges, and the intense Joy of knowing that you are
united to accomplish what you are capable of. The feeling of Joy is strongly
sought in the universe for its energy is divine.

What is the question we ask you ?

"DO YOU WISH THAT WE SHOW UP ?"

How to can you answer this question ?

The truth of soul can be read by telepathy. You only need to clearly ask
yourself this question and give your answer as clearly, on your own or in a
group, as you wish. Being in the heart of a city or in the middle of a desert
does not impact the efficiency of your answer, YES or NO, IMMEDIATELY AFTER
ASKING THE QUESTION! Just do it as if you were speaking to yourself but
thinking about the message.

This is a universal question and these mere few words, put in their
context, have a powerful meaning. You should not let hesitation in the way.
This is why you should calmly think about it, in all conscience. In order to
perfectly associate your answer with the question, it is recommended that you
answer right after another reading of this message.

Do not rush to answer. Breathe and let all the power of your own free will
penetrate you. Be proud of what you are ! The problems that you may have weaken
you. Forget about them for a few minutes to be yourselves. Feel the force that
springs up in you. You are in control of yourselves !

A single thought, a single answer can drastically change your near future,
in one way as in another.

Your individual decision of asking in your inner self that we show up on
your material plan and in broad daylight is precious and essential to us.

Even though you can choose the way that best suits you, rituals are
essentially useless. A sincere request made with your heart and your own will
will always be perceived by those of us whom it is sent to.

In your own private polling booth of your secret will, you will determine
the future.

What is the lever effect ?

This decision should be made by the greatest number among you, even though
it might seem like a minority. It is recommended to spread this message, in all
envisage able fashions, in as many languages as possible, to those around you,
whether or not they seem receptive to this new vision of the future.

Do it using in a humorous tone or derision if that can help you. You can
even openly and publicly make fun of it if it makes you feel more comfortable
but do not be indifferent for at least you will have exercised your free will.

Forget about the false prophets and the beliefs that have been transmitted
to you about us. This request is one of the most intimate that can be asked to
you. Making a decision by yourself, as an individual, is your right as well as
your responsibility !

Passivity only leads to the absence of freedom. Similarly, indecision is
never efficient. If you really want to cling to your beliefs, which is
something that we understand, then say NO. If you do not know what to choose,
do not say YES because of mere curiosity. This is not a show, this is real
daily life, WE ARE ALIVE ! And living !

Your history has plenty of episodes when determined men and women were
able to influence the thread of events in spite of their small number.

Just like a small number is enough to take temporal power on Earth and
influence the future of the majority, a small number of you can radically
change your fate as an answer to the impotence in face of so much inertia and
hurdles ! You can ease the mankind´s birth to Brotherhood.

One of your thinkers once said: "Give me a hand-hold and I´ll raise the
Earth".

Spreading this message will then be the hand-hold to strengthen, we will
be the light-years long lever, you will be the craftsmen to ... raise the Earth
as a consequence of our appearance.

What would be the consequences of a positive decision ?

For us, the immediate consequence of a collective favourable decision
would be the materialisation of many ships, in your sky and on Earth.

For you, the direct effect would be the rapid abandoning of many
certitudes and beliefs.

A simple conclusive visual contact would have huge repercussions on your
future. Much knowledge would be modified forever. The organisation of your
societies would be deeply upheaved for ever, in all fields of activity. Power
would become individual because you would see for yourself that we are living.
Concretely, you would change the scale of your values !

The most important thing for us is that humankind would form a single
family in front of this "unknown" we would represent !

Danger would slowly melt away from your homes because you would indirectly
force the undesirable ones, those we name the "third party", to show up and
vanish. You would all bear the same name and share the same roots: Mankind !

Later on, peaceful and respectful exchanges would be thus possible if such
is your wish. For now, he who is hungry cannot smile, he who is fearful cannot
welcome us. We are sad to see men, women and children suffering to such a
degree in their flesh and in their hearts when they bear such an inner light.

This light can be your future. Our relationships could be progressive.

Several stages of several years or decades would occur: demonstrative
appearance of our ships, physical appearance beside human beings, collaboration
in your technical and spiritual evolution, discovery of parts of the galaxy.

Every time, new choices would be offered to you. You would then decide by
yourself to cross new stages if you think it necessary to your external and
inner well-being. No interference would be decided upon unilaterally. We would
leave as soon as you would collectively wish that we do.

Depending upon the speed to spread the message across the world, several
weeks, or even several months will be necessary before our "great appearance",
if such is the decision made by the majority of those who will have used their
capacity to choose, and if this message receives the necessary support.

The main difference between your daily prayers to entities of a strictly
spiritual nature and your current decision is extremely simple : we are
technically equipped to materialise!

Why such a historical dilemma ?

We know that "foreigners" are considered as enemies as long as they embody
the "unknown". In a first stage, the emotion that our appearance will generate
will strengthen your relationships on a worldwide scale.

How could you know whether our arrival is the consequence of your
collective choice ? For the simple reason that we would have otherwise been
already there for a long time at your level of existence ! If we are not there
yet, it is because you have not made such a decision explicitly.

Some among you might think that we would make you believe in a deliberate
choice of yours so as to legitimate our arrival, though this would not be true.
What interest would we have to openly offer you what you haven´t got any access
to yet, for the benefit of the greatest number of you ?

How could you be certain that this is not yet another subtle manoeuvre of
the "third party" to better enslave you ? Because one always more efficiently
fights something that is identified than the contrary. Isn´t the terrorism that
corrodes you a blatant example ?

Whatever, you are the sole judge in your own heart and soul ! Whatever
your choice, it would be respectable and respected ! In the absence of human
representatives who could potentially seduce into error you ignore everything
about us as well as from about those who manipulate you without your consent.

In your situation, the precautionary principle that consists in not trying
to discover us does no longer prevail. You are already in the Pandora´s box
that the "third party" has created around you. Whatever
your decision may be you will have to get out of it.

In the face of such a dilemma, one ignorance against another, you need to
ask your intuition. Do you want to see us with your own eyes, or simply believe
what your thinkers say ? That is the real question!

After thousands of years, one day, this choice was going to be inevitable:
choosing between two unknowns.

Why spread such a message among yourselves ?

Translate and spread this message widely. This action will affect your
future in an irreversible and historical way at the scale of millenniums,
otherwise, it will postpone a new opportunity to choose to several years later,
at least one generation, if it can survive.

Not choosing, stands for undergoing other people´s choice. Not informing
others stands for running the risk of obtaining a result that is contrary to
one´s expectations. Remaining indifferent means giving up one´s free will.

It is all about your future. It is all about your evolution.

It is possible that this invitation does not receive your collective
assent and that, because of a lack of information, it will be disregarded.
Nevertheless no individual desire goes unheeded in the universe.

Imagine our arrival tomorrow. Thousands of ships. A unique cultural shock
in today´s mankind´s history. It will then be too late to regret about not
making a choice and spreading the message because this discovery will be
irreversible. We do insist that you do not rush into it, but do think about it
! And decide !

The big medias will not be necessarily interested in spreading this
message. It is therefore your task, as an anonymous yet an extraordinary
thinking and loving being, to transmit it.

You are still the architects of your own fate...

"The sweetest nectar is within!"

by Sarah McKechnie

The mystery of the descent or "fall" to Earth of the rebellious angels—the solar angels or agnishvattas—is said to be the mystery hinted at in the Scriptures, and "the secret of the ages" (Esoteric Psychology II, p. 93). Thus it is not surprising that there is so much confusion and misunderstanding concerning the "fallen angels" of which Lucifer is the best known representative.

The secret of the "fallen angels" is essentially the mystery which lies behind the very Plan of evolution, for the solar angels' willingness to "fall", to sacrifice themselves in order to bring the light of the principle of mind to what was then animal man, marked the coming into action of the great Law of Duality by which matter, form—negative and passive—could be quickened by spirit. This act of sacrifice at the dawn of human history is a thread woven throughout the great scriptures and mythologies of the world, including the myth of Prometheus who stole fire (mind) for man, and the biblical story of the Prodigal Son, who left the Father’s home to embark upon the path of experience in the life of form and the senses—the journey to "the far country".

The role of the solar angels and their sacrifice on behalf of humanity is discussed at length in The Secret Doctrine by H.P. Blavatsky. In fact, in 1887 the magazine of the Theosophical Society took "Lucifer" as its name in an effort to bring clarity to what it regarded as an unfairly maligned sacrificing angel.

The name "Lucifer" comes from the Latin words, Lux or Lucis (light) and ferre (to bring); thus Lucifer literally means "light-bearer". It is linked with the planet Venus in Revelations XXII: 16 when Christ says "I am the bright morning star", which is Venus, heralding the coming into full light of the Sun—the Son, the Christ. Interestingly the role of "light-bearer" is linked with Mercury, or Hermes—the divine messenger for the Gods in Greek and Roman mythology. In Christianity Mercury’s function is served by St. Michael, "the Angel Guardian" of Christ, according to St. Thomas. The esoteric interrelationship of this Angel Guardian and Christ is further illumined in the statement by the Tibetan teacher with whom Alice Bailey collaborated to write a series of books on the Ageless Wisdom, that "Mercury and the Sun are one".

Esoterically, the role of Guardian Angel was made possible by the sacrifice of the solar angels in their preservation of the principle of mind or, occultly, fire, through persistent repeated incarnations in form until animal man became thinking man and, finally, began to awaken to his true spiritual heritage: human/divine man. Thus the solar angel creates the form for the incarnating soul principle—the causal body—and it also withdraws that body at the fourth initiation, when the link between form and spirit has been permanently fused and the causal body is shattered.

The notion of the "rebellious angel" seems to trace back to the poet John Milton in Paradise Lost, which seemed to anchor in human consciousness the idea of the descent of the solar angels as an act of rebellion and therefore a fall from grace. ("To reign is worth ambition, though in Hell: Better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven.") Yet this spirit of rebellion and ensuing pain is not found on Venus, we are told by the Tibetan. The rebellious spirit appears to rest squarely on Earth, for the Tibetan suggests that this spirit of rebellion qualified the attitude of our planetary Logos himself, the "Divine Rebel". The Tibetan quotes the Old Commentary:

Evil of Separatism

Yet sin and evil do exist on Earth. We are told by the Tibetan that the only true evil is the sin of separatism. And in this sense we gain some understanding of how Lucifer became identified with evil, for the awakening mind which characterises the stage of advanced humanity today is, as we know all too well, our means both of liberation and of further separation and imprisonment. The mind, functioning and powerful but devoid of soul, can be the great crystallising factor which builds powerful barriers of separation. "The mind is the slayer of the Real. Slay thou the slayer", the disciple is commanded. In this sense the mind in its concrete and analytical element becomes the refuge (and the unrecognised prison) of the ideologue, and is indeed capable of the sin of separatism through prejudice and hate and the wiilingness to accept the distortions of half-truths.

Further clarification of the role of the solar angels is found in a consideration of the fourth Ray of Harmony through Conflict and the fifth Ray of Knowledge, and the planets Mercury and Venus, through which they respectively channel their energies. For Mercury is the "Messenger of the Gods" and the fourth ray is the fluid principle which links the Plan and Purpose of divinity, known on the level of buddhi or intuition, which is ruled by Mercury, with the mind or manas, ruled by Venus and the fifth ray. "Venus was the custodian of what we call the principle of Mind and brought it as a pure gift to embryonic humanity", we are told in The Rays and the Initiations. Or as the Buddha said, "Love is the deliverance of mind". And the fifth ray, channelled by Venus and mental in expression, "operates in connection with the Law of Cleavages", and "is also responsible for the rapid formation of great conditioning ideologies" (Ibid., p. 602). In this we are reminded that the solar angels who chose to descend to Earth submitted to the Law of Duality so that the evolution of the human being could be dependent upon the development of mental discrimination and free will, and thus upon the capacity to make choices and to choose the higher way. There is always a choice of two paths, and it is a choice which must, for the human being, be guided by free will.

The substance of the mental plane is fifth ray, channelled through Venus, and because the angel kingdom works with substance—with the form aspect—so the solar angels brought the substance of mentality to man by establishing the link of the causal body of the soul on the mental plane—a link preserved until the fourth initiation which shatters the no longer needed form of the causal body. Some idea of the magnitude of this act of the solar angels is suggested in the realisation that the fifth Ray of Knowledge "is the energy which admits humanity (and particularly the trained disciple or initiate) into the mysteries of the Mind of God Himself. It is the 'Substantial' key to the Universal Mind" (Ibid., p. 591).

Further, the link of the fifth Ray of Knowledge and the second Ray of Love-Wisdom is said to be exceedingly close, because the second ray rules this present solar system, and in the sacrifice of the "Light Bearing" solar angels on behalf of animal man, the second ray aspect of wisdom was awakened, for "wisdom is knowledge gained by experience [the journey of the Prodigal Son] and implemented by love". Thus the descent of the solar angels into substance brought the legacy of experience to the unfoldment of the divine Plan.

So, returning to the story of the Prodigal Son, to understand the deeper implications of the Prodigal Son’s experience, it is important to note that, upon his return to the Father’s home, the Father joyously rushed out to embrace him, leaving the elder son who had remained at home feeling jealous and unappreciated. That such a journey to "a far country" is part of God"s Plan seems to be verified by the following passage from the Tibetan:

Through the energy of the fifth ray, which is "essentially a light-bearer", the evolution of humanity is hastened, bringing about the descent of the Kingdom of God to Earth as a result of the ascent of so many taking initiation in this age. The fact that The Secret Doctrine equates Venus with Gaia (Earth), and the awakening consciousness of the Gaia theory recognises that Earth is a living and unified organism, suggests that humanity may now be beginning to awaken and cooperate somewhat with the reason for which the angels descended into matter: for the salvaging of substance and the awakening of mind in form so that the Purpose of Deity could be registered and expressed in substance. The solar angels "fell" as an act of choice and of supreme sacrifice on behalf of humanity. Those "Lords of Knowledge and Compassion and of ceaseless persevering Devotion" are ourselves, and we in turn must consciously choose to take control of our incarnation in form, seeking Purpose and thereby rendering life on Earth a gift of sacrifice to the lesser lives dependent on our care.

Christ said, "I am the bright morning star". His promise, and the legacy of the presence on Earth of all such "light bearers", may best be summarised in the following words: H. P. Blavatsky wrote that "in all the ancient cosmogonies light comes from darkness". And Alice Bailey expressed a similar recognition in the following words: "The Master M. . . adds darkness unto light so that the stars appear, for in the light the stars shine not, but in the darkness light diffused is not, but only focussed points of radiance." (The Rays and the Initiations, p. 170)

The development of loving-kindness.


Introduction.

This is a Buddhist meditation practise, illustrating the importance placed on the development of compassion in Mahayana Buddhism. ('Metta' means 'loving kindness' and 'bhavana' means 'cultivation').

When we practise this meditation, we start with ourselves. That is, we aim to feel more appreciative of ourselves first of all: more integrated and less prone to internal conflicts, before we attempt to develop positive feelings toward anyone else.

The basic psychological principle that Buddhists recognise here is that if we can't feel good about ourselves, then we are less likely to be able to feel good about other people.

So a metta bhavana meditation session leads from concern with oneself, to a concern for other sentient beings.

All sentient beings experience suffering in some degree. Here we focus on developing empathy for the difficulties that others may be experiencing: we wish them well, having 'their best interests at heart'.

The metta that we want to develop in our daily lives, as a result of the meditation practise, should not be a massiveley contrived state, however. Buddhist philosophy says that compassion can spring quite naturally from a recognition of the 'non-duality' of self and other: it is a state of 'engagement' in the world, a state of 'relating', where we feel for the experience of other people, and where we also focus on the good, positive, kind feelings we have so that we can spread that stuff around a bit...

The amount of time spent on each of the 'stages' of this practise is entirely optional, but perhaps 10 minutes for each stage would be a good average; less for beginners.

There's nothing to say that you can't whip through it on your own in a matter of seconds though- why not!



The Meditation.

Choose a Posture you feel comfortable with.

If there is stress or tightness in any part of your body then just let that stress or tightness 'fall away'. Take your time. Allow yourself to become more relaxed.

When you're ready concentrate on the breath. Simply watch it come and go, allowing your breathing to become regular and a little deeper, without forcing anything.

If your mind wanders off in any direction, gently bring yourself back to an awareness of each breath you take. Try to maintain this simple awareness for a few minutes. Breath comes in, and breath goes out.

Now shift your attention to the body as a whole, focussing on any emotions that you may be experiencing within yourself just now. From now on, and for the rest of the meditation, if you find yourself distracted in any way, then gently 'bring yourself back' to your body and the current state of your emotions.

The 'transformation' or 'education' of the emotions is an important part of the mettta bhavana practise, so always come back to focus on the emotional aspect of yourself when you find yourself going off in some other direction, but don't forget that all parts are related. Positive thoughts can give rise to positive emotions and negative thoughts can give rise to negative emotions, and at other times we will want to work primarily with 'thought', but not now: so if you can, just tune in to your feelings and try to maintain that awareness. OK that's the preamble over!


The first stage of the practise proper involves developing good feelings for ourselves: something within us that we can draw on, to extend to others.

[Technique 1:] Look into your memory to find a time when you were particularly happy, when you experienced feelings of joy, felt glad to be alive, felt warm and positive. Explore those memories for a little while, and every now and again say 'may I be well, may I be happy, may I be free from suffering'.

[Technique 2:] Imagine that with each breath, along with the air of each breath we take in, there is a subtle, life-force energy or 'prana', and that just as you absorb the oxygen from the air, so on some subtle level your body also gathers and stores up the pranic energy. Visualise the body as a whole with your heart at the centre. Imagine the field of your body's subtle energy surrounding you like a cocoon of yellow-orange light. Don't worry about whether this is 'true' or not. Suspend your disbelief if you have problems believing in this kind of 'subtle energy'. Now imagine that as your awareness rests on your physical and subtle bodies, so healing takes place. Your energies become more integrated: you feel good! As you explore these positive, energetic feelings for a little while, every now and again you say to yourself 'may I be well, may I be happy, may I be free from suffering', and each time you say this the light of the subtle energy surrounding you grows brighter and stronger.

[Technique 3:] What is it that other people like about you? What do you think you are good at? What achievements are you particularly pleased with? Hold these good qualities in your mind for a little while, and feel good about yourself. Every now and again repeat to yourself 'may I be well, may I be happy, may I be free from suffering'.

Try and really tune into each part of the repeating phrase, so that when you say 'may I be well' and 'may I be happy' and 'may I be free from suffering' to yourself you are receptive to any effect the words may be having. Be calm and be respectful towards yourself: listen to what's going on in there. Be your own friend, be your own healer. Accept yourself fully.


The second stage is about cultivating metta towards a friend.

There are a few 'rules of thumb' about who to pick that it may be useful to bear in mind at first: it may be best to choose someone who is alive, whose age is within a few years of your own, to whom you feel friendship rather than physical attraction.

The aim here is to strengthen the metta that we already have for our friend. We already feel considerate towards them, we already care about their wellbeing, we already want them to be happy.

Tune in to those feelings and if possible let them become deeper, stronger, but please don't use too much force!. You might not feel much at all at this moment. You might even have some negative feelings towards your friend. If so, don't worry about it. Be gentle with yourself, be kind, and allow new feelings to grow at their own pace.

[Technique 1:] Picture this friend in your mind's eye and imagine that they are happy: imagine them smiling, imagine them laughing. Say 'may you be well, may you be happy, may you be free from suffering' to them, or simply wish them well in your thoughts.

[Technique 2:] Imagine your friend's body of subtle energy surrounding them like a cocoon of yellow-orange light. Imagine that this web of prana or life-force is centred around your friend's heart, and that as you say 'may you be well, may you be happy, may you be free from suffering', so healing takes place: the energy surrounding them becomes brighter in terms of colour and stronger in terms of energy. It also becomes more integrated in terms of the balance between different parts. If you get a strong feeling that you shouldn't be attempting this, then don't do it. Choose another of the methods described here with which you feel comfortable.

[Technique 3:] What is it that you like about your friend? What do you think they are good at in particular? What do you think they should be most pleased with? Hold these good qualities in your mind for a little while, and feel good about your friend. Every now and again in your mind's eye say to them 'may you be well, may you be happy, may you be free from suffering'.

Again try and tune in to each part of the phrase 'may you be well', 'may you be happy' and 'may you be free from suffering', with a calm and respectful towards your friend. You want to be aware of their needs, and you want to be able to do the right thing to help them.


Stage three is about developing metta for a 'neutral' person, that is, a person for whom you have no particular strong feelings in either direction.

Focussing on some kind of 'acquaintance' that you hardly know is probably best. Try not to choose a complete stranger.

Why do we want to try and extend metta to a 'neutral' person? So that we can remind ourselves that we all want to be happy and avoid suffering: These predilections are shared by pretty much everyone. This is true of the people we hardly know, just as it is true of complete strangers.

We don't have the energy to really take on board the sufferings of every person on the planet, but at least we can try to push back the envelope of our indifference a little here by choosing to concentrate on one person that we don't usually think about. Let's try and care about this one person that we barely know for a change.

Most of us have a 'shell' of indifference toward people we hardly know, in some ways because this can make life 'easier' for us: but too often acting from the shell becomes a habit, where we shut off from our fellow-travellers, even when it's not a necessity for us to do this. Sometimes the self-protective shell that we develop can cause us to be rude to strangers, and sometimes it can make us numb to the extreme forms of suffering that people we come into contact with may be experiencing.

We are not going to attempt to fully empathise with everyone right now. We are going to try and extend loving kindness to one person that we do not usually have any kind of feeling for.

Ask yourself what motivates this person. What kind of food do they like, do you think? What kind of films, or books, or TV programmes? Do you think they have friends and family living nearby that they can look to for support when times are hard?

Try and break out of the indifference that you felt before: in your mind's eye at least, try and connect with the person you have chosen, and share their humanity.

If you can, and without forcing it, feel 'solidarity' with them, knowing that most of the pains that they have suffered in the past, or are suffering now, are pains that you have experienced yourself. As you empathise with them, so let the good feelings that you have tapped in to already in this meditation, flow out to this 'nuetral' person. Say 'may you be well, may you be happy, may you be free from suffering', and as you say it, try and tune in to this other person, so that if your good intentions have any effect, try and be sensitive to that. If they seem to 'perk up' in any way, be happy for them.

If you don't feel much at all at this stage, don't worry about it. It may take time for you to be able to feel positive feelings for people with whom you have no kind of emotional bond. This is probably just 'how it is' for most of us unless we do a metta-bhavana-like practise perhaps for quite some time. But that's the point: to work at it.


The fourth stage of the metta bhavana practise is about cultivating metta towards someone that you find 'difficult'.

This may be someone whose behaviour you find mildly problematical, or they may be someone you consider to be a real enemy, who you feel does not have your best interests at heart. It's up to you. But, if you're new to the practise, and you are wondering wheteher to choose someone for this stage where there is real and intense conflict, then you may instead want to 'work up' gradually to being able to feel compassion for that person. Don't try and push yourself too hard. It's better that you're honest about how you feel and that you're not unrealistically ambitious for what you can achieve right now. If the potential person you're thinking of arouses very very strong feelings of anger or hostility in you then it may be a good idea to leave them out of stage four of the practise until such time as you can find a little more equanimity!

OK, you've chosen a person to focus on. If you feel anger, feel anger, or if you feel fear, feel fear, at least for a moment. If you want to argue with them, then be aware of that too, but don't indulge in any of these feelings. Watch as they rise up, and then let them go . Don't jump on every emotional train that comes along: this time let's choose to step back a little, not energising the parts of ourselves that would only deepen the conflict, in the way that probably we usually do.

Do you think that the extent to which they are 'difficult' comes from difficulties in their own life? If so, then be aware of that: feel for them.

Make a mental note that in future dealings with this person you do not get drawn any further into conflict with them, but instead find the most perfect Buddhist 'right means' in your actions in relation to this person.

[Technique 1:] Picture them in your mind's eye and imagine that they are happy: imagine them smiling, imagine them laughing. Say 'may you be well, may you be happy, may you be free from suffering' to them, or simply wish them well in your thoughts.

[Technique 2:] Think about what you have in common with this person. You share a common humanity, at the very least, with all of the 'thousand natural shocks that flesh is heir to'. In your mind's eye say to them 'may you be well, may you be happy, may you be free from suffering'. Wish them well in your thoughts.

[Technique 3:] What good qualities does this person have? They must have some! What do you think they are good at in particular? What do you think they should be most pleased with about themselves? Assuming you can think of good qualities like this, then hold those things in your mind for a while, while trying to cultivate good feelings for the difficult person you have chosen. Every now and again in your mind's eye (even if you can't think of anything good to say about them) say 'may you be well, may you be happy, may you be free from suffering', and imagine that as you visualise in this way, so the conflict between you lessens.

Before we go on the fifth and final stage, come back to a simple awareness of your body and whatever emotions you can sense are active there. Allow yourself to be calm and relaxed.


In stage five we broaden the focus of our awareness, aiming to shine metta out toward many other sentient beings.

First of all we need to contact the really good feelings again. Tune back in if you can to the happiness that you felt earlier, in 'stage one' and remain with those feelings for a while.

Imagine those positive feelings manifesting as a sphere of orange-yellow 'light' surrounding you, with your heart at the centre. All sentient beings want to be happy. All sentient beings generally want to avoid suffering. And if it feels OK for you, right now you want all sentient beings to know something of the happiness that you have felt.

If it feels OK for you, you also want all beings that are capable of experiencing pleasure and pain to be released from suffering.

This well-wishing is metta. The sphere of light that surrounds you is metta. So, shining like a sun, you give out light in all directions, giving warmth, friendliness and support to everything that is touched by your light.

Extend that light to all corners of the earth, sending metta to all people on the earth. As you do this, say 'may you be well, may you be happy, may you be free from suffering'. Extend goodwill to all people on earth in your thoughts.

Then consider all of the animals on the earth.

Then all of the plants.

Then consider the earth as a whole, as an entity in itself.

If it feels good, then shine that metta out into the universe beyond the earth, to beings on other planetary systems, far out in space.

In two minutes we will start to bring things to a close.

When you are ready, slowly come back to earth. Come back to normal everyday consciousness and come out of the meditation in your own time.

We talk about Self Love, this Love is of the Inner Self and how you feel from within it is not of the outer physical body.

Love starts from within and once you have mastered that then you can begin to widen this Love out to the Planet and your fellow man/woman.

We must try and strip away the negative thoughts and fears that hold us back from feeling this Love.

People withdraw from Love for various reasons seeing themselves and other people in a negative light, when this happens we should try and be honest with ourselves and find out our true feelings of what is behind this and how you can go in and clear it.

The Heart Charka is all about Love and healing, it can help things and if your heart Charka is out of sync with your spirit, emotions and thoughts then you usually have a problem. This can manifest within your Physical Body or you can project it out into the World and everyone round about you, which in itself becomes a problem.

Meditation and  asking for guidance  can help as well as going within and looking at what it is you are feeling and why.

The Love that you give yourself, before all others, is the most important love of all. When the love of self is missing you also miss the real essence of you, which can sometimes form an invisible block when wanting to show and share your love with anyone or anything else

Loving one’s self is first and foremost to fully accepting who you are and therefore how you interact with others.. You are perfect just as you are, the way you are meant to be.
 Part of our spiritual healing is getting into alignment with your higher self. Your Higher Self is what encourages you to do things,  find your life path and being true to yourself (being true to your higher self). The higher self is about self-love, unconditional love for others, honesty with yourself it is about letting go of ego, fear and separation.

The inner love that drives for change and improvement is always there at the highest level. We should change our words, our thoughts, our mind, and then our body follows.

Get yourself in alignment with your higher self, finding self-love, letting go of your ego, loving your fellow man, and looking  into your negative beliefs and step out of those shadows.
