Guileless Wisdom -The Pretender

The following is a true story. Since a few of the people involved are still living, there have been a few alterations. I was raised a Lutheran yet my family were universal in their understanding. We recognized the light within and the golden thread of love that connected all the religions and philosophies of the known world. The location of this story is a Lutheran college. The setting is spring of my senior year. The actors were my boyfriend, his fraternity brother and myself. The time was an era when the subject of metaphysics, the coming Golden Age and the radiant Light were not openly discussed. I always kept silent about my belief in preexistence, luminous beings, karma and ongoing life. Ever since I can remember, my parents had a small group of friends who met on a Friday night to privately discuss what was not being discussed openly as it is today.

The drama began when the fraternity brother of my boyfriend contacted me requesting a private meeting. He said that he had something remarkable to share and I would be the only one who would understand. During this time period, my consciousness was unusually pure and innocent. It never dawned on me that people existed who would act improperly and promote incorrect teachings or behavior in the name of truth and love. Nor did it ever cross my mind that a soul can be raped. I was curious about the mysterious and we agreed to meet. At this point in my story you are either going to laugh out loud at my stupidity or you will have tears and shake your head in disbelief. He told me that he was a luminous being from Nirvana and that he had stepped into this particular body specifically to instruct and be with me whenever he felt the timing was appropriate. He was very knowledgeable about the eastern religions and somehow knew that they were of great interest to me. Remember, this is a Lutheran college and new age groups, gurus and esoteric book availability were not of the same interest then as they are now. Although I had a serious relationship with another man, I felt singled out by a master with great powers who happened to have the ability to enter and leave a human body by choice. It was not a possession according to him but a convenience to exercise his will. Because of my unusual trust in goodness and not having developed vigilance or discernment, I was an easy target for the glamour of psychic powers. I was misled.

We secretly met periodically and I was the gullible and willing student. This man besides being unusually informative was very handsome and his words were like the first taste of honey. How could a girl be so fortunate? A man-god had come to visit and share his wisdom and powers. He claimed he could take my life away and raise me from the dead. I actually did not recognize the deceit or lack of pure intention...only the beauty of his appearance and words. I agreed. That was the last word remembered until I found him administering mouth-to-mouth first aid in the car. Although I blacked out and the struggle to regain my breath was difficult, I obviously survived. He had choked the life out of me and brought me back as he claimed he would. My dress was ripped. No apology...nothing. Remember, he was demonstrating his power over matter.

I had never been exposed to spiritual darkness nor did I recognize evil face to face. The next day my eyeballs hemorrhaged. I required medical attention. A word to others was never said. The horrific experience was my introduction to evil, manipulation and the misuse of power. My words to you cannot be emphasized strongly enough. There is a fallen nature in some souls. These souls are separated from the Light by their own choice. Today, many of us are focusing on the divine, the unity of all souls. In our thirst and hunger for unity, let us not forget diversity. There are souls here in the flesh who are ready to crush the naive, the innocent at heart.

Perhaps, in today's world such innocence does not exist. Whether it does or not, please pay attention, be vigilant and honor your life. Regardless of how beautifully someone presents his or her self, do not be enamored by appearance or the words spoken. Think deeply. Go within to the true power and not allow an ego, a pretender, to be your guide. Please develop discernment and intuition so you know what is true and what is not true. I trusted the good in another but the other had no good to give.

Exploring the Depths of Your Inner Abyss

The two principles of good and evil coexist in each human being. The heavenly enlightened ones know that before the last degrees of Initiation, we have to explore the depths of our inner abyss. There are wild beasts, so to speak hidden in the subconsciousness part of the mind. The tendencies are usually from a remote past. It is best to go down to that level siphon up just a few elements at a time. You go about this clearing through prayer, Harmony, bringing more radiant Light into your life and love.

When you become aware of negative influences that are attached to your mind and body, study them closely. You must be strong and anchored sufficiently or firmly in the Light to conquer forces that have controlled you in different degrees. Much of what is harmful to a human both within and without are influences from the astral world. Many people feel like they have been invaded. When you are unbalanced, the nervous system receives severe shocks. Help is available from the Angels and Archangels, the Initiates and Masters, and all the Patriarchs and Prophets and also from friends and relatives who vibrate in the subtle worlds of Light.

Archangel Michael is a perfect collective symbol who fights for the good. There are many Hindu gods such as Lord Murugan and Goddess Durga who work with us when we recognize and accept their presence and power. When we ally with our own higher Selves and bright celestial friends, we do much better than struggling alone. These glorious and heavenly beings work with the Light just as you need to do for enlightenment, harmony and liberation. Invite the forces on High which are light, love, purity and kindness to assist you in a thorough divine vacuum cleaning.

Only One Exists

God is the Father, the Mother, the Son, the Origin, the First Cause. People mistakenly believe that the extensions from the First Cause are separate. The devil has no separate existence apart from God although negative energy definitely has a separate intent and field of influence. That which we call evil, Satan or the devil is simply one aspect of unity. There is only One. Everything that appears good or not good are divisions or facets of the One, which contains them all.

This is the teaching that has always been given in the Temples and in the Mysteries. The number One contains all numbers (aspects-influences). The farther away a soul is from its Source,the Godhead, the more likely negative thoughts and actions will appear. The whole purpose of devolution is to return to the Center, the point of the Creatrix. It is the fallen consciousness of humans that have elevated the status of the negative energy referred to as evil, devil and Satan.

Too many souls link the devil with power. This occurs because they have broken away from their true spirit identity and the Cause behind creation. If people would work only with the One, division will be removed. When man's consciousness is divided, he is mutilated, destroyed and will disintegrate. Bottom-line is that he is constantly at war between the two....good and evil. It is time for souls to go beyond good and evil and rise above them both.

Satan

If you read the Book of Job you probably wonder why God allowed Satan to present himself along with the Sons of God. Why didn't the good ones drive him out? Supposedly, Satan even talked with the Lord and asked to be allowed to torment Job. Why would God give permission to put Job to the test? There were conditions that had to be met such as only touch his possessions and not his person. Satan went ahead and robbed Job of his livestock and all his servants and children. After that was done, Satan was given permission to harm Job's body but to spare his life.

Doesn't this make you think? It also opens up other questions. When we read about other saints, we learn that they, too, were tormented. Could it be that torment is allowed to find out how the so called believer will react? Humans have a very limited knowledge of the Absolute and how Universal Laws work. Good exists and obviously evil does as well. There is a third school which disposes of both. The third school recognizes the diverse energies and knows how to use both good and not good so a person or situation can be healed rather than destroyed.

Evil only has power over us if we are riddled with fear and are ignorant of universal law. We must learn how to use negative energy in the right way so we are strengthened, not weakened. the science of the future is to learn to transform, purify and use everything in order to become stronger. Scientists have already applied it instinctively in their work. So much of what we have been taught through religion is neither clear or logical. In order to understand truth, we must become deep thinkers, ask questions and not accept words written by the unenlightened. Truth is miscontrued by the unenlightened. For any of us to determine what is true and what is false, discernment must developed.

Can Evil be used?

How can something else come up between a seeker and his or her good intentions? Where did the interference come from? Once you understand that you have both a lower and higher nature, this question is easier to understand. The more you are enlightened, contradictory elements from the ego, the lower senses, will not sabotage your plans. There is a school of thought that teaches us to use both good and evil. Sounds strange, yes, but it is true.

We can make use of evil but in homeopathic doses and actually get remarkable results. As long as unenlightened intelligence exists, it means the Creator allows it to exist. Why? We cannot destroy it. Is there a solution? Nature knows how to use evil and that is why I mentioned in homeopathic doses. If we are strong and intelligent, it can cure us. It cures us by using it.

Why struggle against evil? We can use evil people and circumstances to accomplish the work of the Light. If we use it and transform it, we learn to control the potent forces of the psychic plane. When we gain a higher understanding, we realize that humanity has created what is referred to as evil. Remember, in the past whenever a miracle occurred, the Church would say that it was the work of the devil? You see, inner conflict causes evil. If unity is lacking, the individual or group moves in a lower vibration of discontent and punishment. As soon as an individual or group has restored order within and is in harmony with Nature, what is accepted as evil forces stop bothering the target. In other words, if we go against natural and divine law, we attract torment and ugliness. So, if evil energy is prevalent in your life, ask yourself how closely you live according to the will of the One and understand your own nature.
