PAST LIVES
After acquiring a voluminous amount of booklore-philosophy, the many delusions set forth by those who could not comprehend or explain the Truth, have deceived many who have accepted such teachings without trying to verify these things for themselves.
The whole "New Age" craze, just like Christianity of the past, is merely a delusion cast over the mentalities by means of magnetic mediumship and the establishment of great Egregoric Chains through the centuries.
Those devilish spirits of darkness have used the sensitive natures of mediums to project certain thought forms upon their physical consciousness. And remember, "Every one is a medium to some degree." (For further insight see the 1992 Little Book, Why Mediumship Has No Value). The swiftness of deception is being carried on just like it was through Christianity, and that is by incorporating a grain of genuine Truth in every bundle of New Age chaff they produce.
To those who function purely on the physical plane, New Age teachings possess an irresistible attraction because they appear to account, in a most rational and philosophical manner, for the wide differences manifested in the mental, social and moral conditions of humanity. They seem to settle the question of good and evil by harmonizing all our irregularities.
All those on this physical plane who have accepted these "New Age" teachings without verifying the doctrines for themselves, have been totally deceived just as Christianity deceived you in your past lives, until you became tired of those false teachings.
Yes, the most finely spun "New Age" ideals continue to be presented by a host of sentimental spiritually ill ex-christians to explain their various religious philosophies. Philosophies of which they themselves, in Truth, know very little apart from what they have read, or the devilish spirits of darkness have sealed in their minds.
Know now that only your "soul" is capable of penetrating the lies of darkness and learning the Truth. Yes, you must become alone in the quiet with your soul to break through the shackles of this world's illusions, to see through its perverted images, and learn the Truth from the Light Within.
While it is a fact that when someone is sensitive and psychically developed, he picks up certain messages from the invisible world. It is rare that no degree of error slips into what he thinks he has picked up.
Do not turn to those who claim or profess to be able to read past lives. A great many people are fooled in this way. What you are likely to hear from some of those who, in order to get money or assistance of some kind from you, will try to hoodwink you with all kinds of magnificent but fictitious past lives, telling you how "historically" you were some great man or woman who did great deeds. If anyone tells you things like that, you can be sure that it is not in order to help you. It is to fool you. For if that person really wanted to help you he would reveal your weaknesses and short-comings, rather than dazzling you with past glories.
One of the worst tragedies today is the great number of people who are following after these "false prophets" just as Jesus warned about. Yes, unfortunately, the people are finding these things out for themselves the hard way, through suffering and unhappiness.
Never use a medium or hypnotist to find out about your past lives. Unless you bring forth your past memories yourself, you can never be sure that they are the true events of your past lives and not just something brought about by those devilish spirits acting on your, or the medium's, or the hypnotist's mind. Most past lives are revealed as the result of you (under hypnosis) or the medium (at a reading) picking up potent thought waves left behind by people of the past who had a very active and potent mind during their incarnation (the powerful thought forms surround the earth in its psychic ether). Many mediums and almost all hypnotists are deceived in these ways simply because of their lack of understanding that such possibilities exist.
Yes, many people's past life revelations are the great men and women of history because of contact with these strong thought forms as a result of "magnetic" mediumship. To know the Truth about our past lives, we must bring these "revelations" forth from our Father, through His Light, and into our Physical Consciousness. This "past lives fad" can become an obsession and lure you away from the Path of Light. It can place all kinds of doubt in your mind. It can further imprison you here, capturing your mind, senses, and worldly attention. For if you were to lament over your past lives, this would keep you a prisoner in the earthly plane.
The only thing that matters is what you are NOW, today, not what you were in the past. Jesus says, "Your sins are forgiven you. NOW go and sin no more. We care not what you have done in the past, only what you shall do NOW. Go and sin no more. It is the NOW that is important, not the past, and the future will be a result of the NOW. So correct your short comings and weaknesses NOW. While you have been spending great amounts of time on developing your physical control, you have spent very little time on emotional and mental discipline. Raise your Physical Consciousness to your God and you will find Peace and Happiness. Even if you know the past, it is neither good psychology nor good teaching to tell human beings about their previous incarnations."
For Instance, Imagine that in a past life a person, who is currently your enemy, beat you, tortured you, and finally killed you and your family, What kind of mental torture might you undergo knowing this now? And if you were weak and unable to control yourself, what might result from this knowledge? If we are born without the knowledge of our past lives, Should we be seeking such information? Picture the complications that would arise world wide if people could find out about their past lives. They have a most difficult time dealing with their recent history (eg: Iraq- Kuwait) Would you understand why you don't get along with those personalities that clash with you now, or would you seek revenge?
Have you not met some one before and said, "You seem familiar to me but I just can't place where?" or been doing something and felt as though you have already lived through this before? Actually you have met that person before in a previous life but you do not know whether in or out of the body. As for the other, you have caused the "deja vu" to happen through your sub-consciousness during sleep, the How is only to be told to you when you are ready. Yes, any one can cause anything to happen, but you cannot know this secret until you are Spiritually ready for there are many evil forces who work to diminish your Light. When the time is right, your Father which art in Heaven will share this knowledge with you. For just as you would not give a three-year-old child a loaded gun, neither would a loving Father give such power to a Spiritually immature son. Never forget that the Bottomless Pit is a true unimaginable reality in the Spirit World of Darkness.
Unless you put forth the Effort here and now to learn of the Life beyond the earth realm, you shall pass out of that body and, through the negative influences of the Spirits of Darkness; be led to believe that Spiritual Growth can only be accomplished through a succession of earth lives. Do not deceive yourself. There are many workers of darkness both incarnate and on the other side of the veil keeping the great multitude blind and servants of their dark desires.
Yes, the spirits of darkness, both incarnate and otherwise, are simply boastful pretenders to a state of knowledge and spiritual development which they do not possess. Their Christian and New age theories and dreamy speculations do not in any sense agree with those who have had "actual" Spiritual Experiences. Thus we see that the only "WAY" of knowing the Truth is through the actual experience of the soul. And this is why Jesus states that the "FIRST" thing that ye must do is to "SEEK" the kingdom of your God which is "within," through the process he calls the Spiritualization of Your Physical Consciousness. Yes, you as the individual must learn how to penetrate the veil and enter into the Realm of Spirit where you can investigate the mysteries of Life for yourself. And the "way" to penetrate the veil is through the "process" described in the chapter titled "How To Spiritualize Your Physical Consciousness." How different from those Christian and New Age ideas are the real Truths of the Spirit World.
For when you put forth a continuous Effort with the great Desire to share your findings with all humanity, your soul shall be guided through many Spirit Realms where it shall experience the Truth. You shall see the Dark Realms of those lost souls and the glorious Realms where your eyes shall behold the radiance of the Celestial Realms of Light, the memories of which shall warn and warm, and beckon you on and upwards forever.
Do not be deceived by those who claim there is NO return to mortal birth, No spiritual retrogression. Many an enlightened man and woman have found re-birth to be a delusion, BUT this is only relative for to them there was to be no more rebirths, as they had finally overcome the desires of the earth plane which had bound them to the Cycle of Incarnation.
We must learn the Truth through our own personal research and actual experiences. "Prove All Things," saith the apostle, "Hold FAST that which is good." Let this become the "motto" of all students searching for the Truth.
Beware of all religions who play their fossilized doctrines and dogmas on your external mind in an attempt to harmonize your mind to their illusions of good and evil and nothing more. Their earthly teachings have been formulated to deceive, by cunning priestly minds who possess nothing but their earthly intellects to guide them in their gropings for Truth.
Challenge these self-righteous Christians, New Agers, and any one else to produce just one who has penetrated the veil and entered into the Realms of Light, and who can truthfully say that their religious theories actually agree with the actual findings of that one. Yes, their teachings are void of Spiritual proof, or of the possibility of Spiritual proof. None can penetrate beyond the veil for they know not the "way." They know absolutely nothing of the many Realms of Spirit nor the "mysteries" of the Realms of Light, for they know not the Mystery Kept Secret Since the Beginning - How To Spiritualize the Physical Consciousness and Commune with the Spirit World of Light.
Exalted souls incarnate for the special purpose of enlightening the human race every so often, but not usually in succession to the same culture. These souls become conscious of their mission, depending on the quality of the families into which they are born, all the while being protected by the Blessed Ones from becoming lost in the earthly attractions and the priesthood of their generation. Now remember, these souls give up their lives in the Light, and lose themselves altogether to become born as new personalities, and thus these Beings of Light usually never incarnate more than once unless they seek to move into a Higher Realm of Light. Would you give your Life for your enemies?
Thus when it comes to Past Lives, we hope that we have strongly impressed upon your earthly mind the fact that an external education is worthless as a means of obtaining the Truth.
All the so-called re-awakenings of latent memories by which certain people profess to remember certain past lives are only the simple laws of affinity and form brought about through the lower spirit faculty known as Mediumship.
In the Higher Realms of vibration our past lives can be read from those lower vibrational realms of ether where the events are stored in picture form and can be re-called by these Beings of Light, known as "Recorders." The Recorders are very advanced minds who have such expert knowledge of the vibrational wave-lengths that they can make the necessary synchronization of the record with our earthly mind's vibrational wave-length so we can see our past lives. Of course this is only done if it is in the best interests of our evolution, or if we are sufficiently evolved to handle such a mental barrage of emotions.
Yes, every event is the result of a previous cause, and all causes are preserved in the Akashic Record of each person, and only the Blessed Ones of Light have access to this knowledge and possess the ability to read these records. Therefore, only They will be able to show us such information and They will not show us unless it will be of value to our development. The Blessed Ones know what is proper and what is improper to communicate least we or others be injured by such information. Yes, the Blessed Ones only communicate what is proper and true; what is wise and good.
So, if you really want to experience some knowledge of your past lives, before you go to sleep every night practise the Spiritualization of Your Physical Consciousness, ASKING your Father and the Blessed Ones for past life "revelations." Then if it is of value to your Spiritual Development, while you sleep you shall be resurrected out of the body, your Soul being drawn up through the head (like a snake shedding its skin) and you will be taken to "the Halls of Learning." There you will see episodes of your past lives shown to you on a cinematographic type screen: just like going to the movie theatre. Then you shall be returned back into the body through the head down into the trunk and filling out into the limbs.
These experiences will definitely stimulate your Spirit soul, while teaching your Physical Consciousness very good lessons. Such contacts with the Spirit World will help to motivate your Physical Consciousness to further develop itself in Spiritual Knowledge so that you can better serve humanity.
One day, you can be sure, if you continue to practise the Spiritualization of Your Physical Consciousness, you will reach the point in your Spiritual Evolution where you will be in control of yourself and these "revelations" can be shown to you. But first you must be a little more advanced.
DO CHOSEN ONES EVER RETURN INTO EARTH EMBODIMENT?
Yes, the Chosen Ones of ages past come back from time to time if they so choose to be of further "Service" to humanity. However, even they at times lose their real identity but they continue to carry on in the work they came for, to the best of their ability, if they stay close to the Light of their God or Goddess. The people of earth do not know of the Chosen Ones who come from time to time into embodiment, and it is well it is that way, because there would be many trials and tribulations for a Chosen One to contend with if their real identity were known. People would still cry out to "crucify him" or "stone him to death," thus these Chosen Ones of ages past are spared.
The multitudes know in their sub-conscious that the words which are spoken by a Chosen One are words of Light. Yet, while they do not know that he is a Chosen One of the Light, they feel and think that he or she must be a servant of God. The deepest respect is given a Chosen One by the people who know, because they are the men and women who recognize the attributes of God which the Chosen One is bringing forth through the Light. Those are the Spiritual Things which these people are "seeking." So it is with the Chosen Ones that come and paint the pictures of reality, whether it be artists or one of those who have the voice of a songbird. They lift up the CONSCIOUSNESS of those who hear their songs for they know that not many of them have stayed close to their God. There are those who do bring forth living demonstrations of Light to the people of earth, such as writers that have given that which they have received while in the Light, words of helpfulness to the people. Then there are those who withdraw from the Light and continue not to write the words of the Light, but just words, as many, many, have done.
Some Beings come into embodiment connected with certain denominations through which they spread the Light to their people, but in fact they come under and are bound by that denomination and creed. They spread the Light as far as they can, but they cannot go beyond that boundary-line set by the denomination. These ones fear not for their bodies, but they become as the money changers in the temples. So their Light becomes dimmer and dimmer as they are not willing to give up the fine linen and gold, and so the people of earth receive not the full proof that they are Gods and Goddesses.
There are Chosen Ones who are willing to come into earth bodies to bring more earthly freedom to the people. We do not have to turn back the pages of history to far to find some of them. History repeats itself. Jesus means by this that there are ones in Spirit who have been on that side but a short period of time who are willing, and are equipped, to point the way in earthly positions for the betterment of humanity. He says, "Light of the Living God will shine bright for every one, if they will reach out and know that God is not a God of the dead, but a God of the Living and each God is a God of Light and Spirit." These words Jesus places into the Light of thy God and opens the door for thee, that no man can shut. As the people become more at-one with their God, and as they knock, that door shall be opened for them. So; sow these seeds through words of kindness, and know that these seeds of kindness, through the Words of Light, will bring to the people of earth what they are seeking and searching for. Peace will come into the minds, hearts, and lives of all who have earnestly and sincerely applied themselves to reach into the Light and find their God or Goddess.
Be ye true servants of your God and your God will draw nigh unto you. People of earth, while ye are still in the tabernacle, make ye the best of your time and reach the Light that ye will not be compelled to again return to a physical body.
Jesus says, "Even as I had to make my decision, each one makes his decision of whether he will chose to be master of earth and earthly treasures or whether he will be about his Father's Business and give to the people of earth that Light which will help to guide others into the Light of their own God that they too may be of service in the Love and Light of their God. If each one of the earth would seek first the Kingdom of his God; then he would be as a garden of flowers, being watered with the Light that is poured through, just as the raindrops are poured from the clouds that come to freshen, and the sun to brighten, and the dewdrops to moisten, that garden which represents your lives. Yes, the Light of your God, when found, will make you a beautiful garden of flowers and the Father and I are ONE. Make ye your lives as ye choose, your Light may be bright or dim. Let your Light shine forth that others may see, just as they would view that beautiful garden of flowers and be made happy."
Of the Chosen Ones, the Prophets who came into earth bodies in ages past, there were many who were called and yet were not chosen, but Moses was of the Light and a Chosen One in his day and time. Yes there were many, many, Chosen Ones, and then there was that one of the Light who gave, yes, gave the healing that came by and through that same Light that you are receiving, that same Light that came to those, and that one, who was asked by that one called Simon, give unto me if thou wilt, that same power that thou hast - I will pay thee any price in money, but that Chosen One said - "No; Thou art not at-one with the Light. Set thyself right within thine own heart, then too, there will be given thee through the Light, as you Spiritualize your Physical Consciousness, more concerning Life Eternal."
Jesus says, "As in ages past when people went into churches, they bowed down to graven images. Be it not so. When praying, lift your eyes into the Light of your God. People of earth, you need not say words of condemnation as did those in Bible days who bowed down to those graven images. There are many now in their hearts and minds, even though they may say they believe in God but they know not where God is, who are bowing down to these graven idols and images of their minds. Then there still are those who bow their heads to earthly people. Yes, not only to those who hold positions that give them the right according to man made laws, they bow down to them if not by words, then by the authority, just as those people did as recorded in pages of history, the Italian Bible. They are told by actions and sometimes by words, `I am your superior, you bow to me.' Obedience: yes there are those who are obedient in both their thoughts and actions who bow down to those men. So we see, some bow down to one kind and others to another kind."
Jesus goes on to say, "All men are born equal and those who have accumulated treasures of earth and neglected to lay up treasures of heaven as they come to that gateway that leads into Eternal Life, they will be found wanting."
All these Teachings, when rightly understood, are true. These are the Truths of Light from the Realms of Light brought to earth by One of the Light, Jesus. That is why He so often referred to the Light in its various expressions and He knew, and we must learn, that the Light is the most potent power in existence. From Light, all things were created, yes, even the earth and the elements of the earth.
Those That Seek After Righteousness Shall Be Filled
"But ye must seek for it." If you do not, the promise of Jesus cannot be fulfilled. He said, "Seek and ye shall find, knock and the door will be opened, he that seeketh findeth, he that asketh, receiveth, and what man will give a stone to his son when he asks for bread." We must ask! Where asking means EFFORT. Yes, it means we must be DOERS as well as hearers. We must be aware of the meaning of, strait is the gate and narrow is the path that leads to righteousness and the at-one-ment with Life Eternal (the Father) while in the body. This cannot be attained if our house be divided, which means one eye on the desires of the flesh, and the other eye on God, your Eternal Part. Truly here, the Old Testament quotation can be applied, "I AM a jealous God," meaning that the "I AM," the God part of us, will not have us bow down to false Gods, and that means anything in physical life that holds our attention at the exclusion of God, our Eternal Part, our Higher Self.
Will we be wise or foolish builders? Will we build our future on the uncertain shifting sands of a material life, or will we build our future on the rock of righteousness which stands and lives through all Eternity? We cannot serve two masters. It must either be our God or the physical senses of the body. Can a business succeed without your devoted attention? If people would put forth the same effort to attain "at-one-ment" with their God as they do to attain success in business and society, the earth would be filled with many who would have attained the fullness of righteousness, the Father, while in their physical temples. This is the goal Jesus held and holds for all who follow His Teachings. His Teachings must be followed with the combined EFFORTS of the whole physical structure at the exclusion of the outer desires, which, when turned inwardly toward the quest of righteousness becomes the motivating power to carry you unto the goal of Spiritual Realization and at-one-ment with your Father.
Read the parables in the King James' VERSION of the Bible where Jesus referred to the Father, or the Kingdom of God, or the Kingdom of Heaven, and KNOW that they all mean the Eternal Part of each person in the physical body. His Teachings were and are for the purpose of directing the minds of the people from the temporary garment, or house of the Father, unto the Eternal Part, the Father. That nothing stands in the way of the union of the Father and the son, but our bodily desires.
Why is it so hard for us to understand this? Is it because we cannot see the Father? When we start in business, do we see the success it eventually becomes if properly handled? No. Then why do we not try to reach the Eternal Part of our lives while in the body with the same EFFORT we use in building the success of our physical business? Learning to know Life Eternal is the biggest and most important business there is, and yet, man pays little if any heed to it. Life Eternal is a business every one must enter, from the most aspiring businessman to the least aspiring layman. All of these people must lay down the body when the great reaper says, "Your time is up; Come, it is your turn to take a whirl at the business of Life Eternal in the Realms of Spirit where both the attributes of great business men and the lowly apprentice mean nothing." Your wealth or your pauperism in the Realm of Eternity is weighed upon the very fine and correct scale of righteousness, which leads to and is a part of Spirituality. So pay heed, ye in the physical bodies, you again are given the Truths of Life Eternal. See that ye come not to the gateway as Spiritual Paupers but instead filled with the righteousness (Light) earned by your seeking.
Remember the physical body will rule unless whipped into submission by the DESIRE to attain the knowledge of things beyond its realm. The body can never be satisfied. The different senses, when permitted to run loose, will lead you hither and yon, to this, then that.
Let's take a little stroll and watch a person who unthinkingly follows the desires of the body. First he fumbles in his pocket, pulls out a package and lights a cigarette, nervously takes three or four puffs and throws it away. Then he goes into a place and buys a drink, comes out and lights another cigarette and then throws it away, goes into another place and buys a sandwich, comes out lights another cigarette then goes to the news-stand and buys a soft drink and then goes into a movie. That's enough. The bodily appetites rule that one completely. You may smile and say, that's exaggeration, if you think so, watch others including yourself and see if it is easy to lay aside those acquired habits which are not only expensive but unnecessary. Always remember that ANY DESIRE for a drink that water will not satisfy is an unnatural thirst brought about by too highly seasoned foods or false stimulants, both of which are not good for the body. Pure simple food and drink is the first step towards laying the foundation for higher attainment. Spiritual aspiration and the seeking for righteousness, which is one and the same, is the only avenue through which the physical senses can be brought under your control and domination, for in the seeking of those, the will to attain them is more powerful than satisfying the ever-changing sense desires of the body. To assist you in this progress of attaining higher desires, omit stimulants and condiments and enjoy the natural taste of things. Live a simple life. Apply these words of Light, and you will find yourself rising above the magnet of sense gratification.
Jesus says that whenever the bodily desire to satisfy this that or the other comes over you, merely say to your body, "By satisfying you in the past, you have kept me broke and many times made me sick. From now on, I AM going to be boss and will pay no attention to you beyond giving you enough to eat of what I know is good for you and no more. From now on I will strive to fill you with the Light and understanding of the Father and I AM not going to be weary in well-doing for I now know that death to sin, brings Life in Righteousness and that the fruits of righteousness are sown in Peace and Moderation."
No Peace can come to any one who caters to the physical senses of the body. Yes, blessed are they that hunger and thirst after righteousness for that hunger and thirst is the TRUE STIMULATED CALL from the Father which slowly seeps into your outer body from the Father through your soul.
Jesus says, "As in my time as well as now, many religious teachers were and are more interested in stacking up the gold than giving out crumbs of righteousness. They claim they teach the gospel."
Then Jesus shows a picture of Himself with a lamb and says, "Come unto me (and points his finger above his head meaning come unto Me through your Father) if ye are weary and heavy laden [If ye are tired of being buffeted around by sense desires] and I will give you rest."
It is never too late. All must some time start to seek righteousness. Be as the lost sheep which the shepherd has gone out to find; come into the fold of the Pure Teachings of Jesus concerning the Father. Light, Truth and Wisdom will be given to those that seek to attain Peace and Righteousness. This belongs to all people, but they must first seek it. Rest assured that all who seek after righteousness shall be filled with the Living Truth, which brings Eternal Life. These Blessings of your Father are not for a day nor a year, but through striving to follow in the footsteps of Jesus, you can say forever, "I and my Father are ONE."
