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.

The Philosophy of Unity

The early Initiates always spoke of unity. Dualism appeared on the scene much later, in the Persian religion of Manicheism, for instance, or in the Christian concept of Satan as the adversary of God. God has no adversaries. This is impossible. Humans can have adversaries if we remain spiritually ignorant, blocked and continually break Universal laws.

Today being Thanksgiving is a time to reflect on gratitude. You who desire to return to a state of mind and soul in unity can do so through love: love for the Absolute One, a love so strong and pure that the door of Grace opens wide and life flows in you. For this state of consciousness to be a constant, work on transforming yourselves.

The majority of humans have distanced themselves from the Godhead. They feel powerless and blocked from the Light similar to the curtains being closed. It is up to us in trust, joy and gratitude to open our curtains and allow the Light of truth, wisdom, beauty and love to fill us. No one else will draw back the curtains. It is up to us to do that. God does the impossible. Humans must draw back the curtains of ignorance, superstition, fear, limitation and doubt.

Do everything you can not to dwell on divisions. Understand that opposing forces exist in order to work together. Poisons or natural forces are only harmful for those who are too weak or too spiritually ignorant to know how to handle them. The important thing is to reach a state of mind where you sustain a reality that does not divide things up. Live each day asking for Grace and you will know firsthand the gratitude of the Christ Consciousness.

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.

Contradictory Forces

Contradictory forces can work together for the same goal. True initiates never see things as this is good and that is evil. This is matter and that is the spirit. They believe in unity and that duality is simply a manifestation of unity. People even mistake God for the devil. Peace will never come as long as we cling to dualism. Thousands of years ago Hermes Trismegistus wrote in his Emerald Tablet: 'That which is below is like to that which is above, and that which is above is like to that which is below, to accomplish the miracles of one thing.'

Hermes Trismegistus concludes the Emerald Tablet with the words: 'For this reason I am called Hermes Trismegistus (Trismegistus means "thrice greatest"), because I hold the Science of the three worlds.' He knew the secret of unity; he knew how to use that single, many-faceted force, and it was thanks to this force that he possessed all powers. This is the same force of which it is said that he who possesses it shall possess the glory of the whole world. If he could possess it, why not us?

Duality is nothing more than an expression of unity. The first and only number is One. One is the only significant number and Two, Three, Four and so on, are simply divisions of One. Two is simply the polarization of One. The magnet is an example. A magnet is polarized but it is not divided. It is one and it remains one. Only One exits.

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.

God's Servants

Stop and think about the next sentences. What we refer to as devils and spirits of Hell are in truth God's servants. How can this be true? Who is it that punishes humans? It is not the angels. It is the beings who are themselves separated from the Light. The negative forces will torment anyone who is not centered. Once you restore your sense of unity and harmony within, the earthbound nasty ones stop bothering you. When you look at it from this perspective, you realize that the unenlightened serve a very useful purpose.

Whenever there is chaos, doubt, fear and selfishness, the impure ones come and do their dirty work. If you clean up your own consciousness, the dark side won't visit you. Some souls deliberately transgress the divine law. Other souls may not be consciously aware of divine law but if they have a conscience, they do inwardly know what is good and what is not good. It is not up to the angels and archangels to restore order and teach humans how to be balanced or devotional. They dwell in harmony, beauty and love. It is the lost souls, the fallen ones of the bottomless pit who punish mankind.

If you have ever read anything about the Sages, Saints and Prophets, you know that they have been tormented by what we call demons. Padre Pio is a prime example. When a spiritual human is tormented by negative entities it is to try and temper him and make him stronger in his determination to be the Light that he really is. And the dark beings who ravage mankind with disasters and disease arrive on the scene to see that the laws are obeyed. Once the human being changes by conforming to the universal laws, the earthbound spirits of darkness leave him alone.

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.
