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.

Esoteric Science

Every organ and every cell in our body has its etheric double. I know because I see with the eyes that are behind the physical eyes. There is an etheric double behind our limbs and behind everything that is created in matter. All our cells and particularly the cells of the white and grey matter of the brain and the solar plexus, possess a memory. The etheric matter records our slightest action, thought or desire. Because of repetitive reactions and actions stereotypes are created. Once recorded, everything goes on repeating itself. We call repetitions our habits.

When we become aware of our repetitive negative actions, we can change them. So, when we are learning something new make a concerted effort to do it correctly or mistakes will continue over and over again in that particular area. The idea is to cut a perfect stereotype. We are engravers who need to be careful and not create mistakes that will keep occuring. Remember, everything is recorded.

Nature also records everything. Both good and bad habits have their stereotypes. Now, how do we get rid of the bad records? The answer is obvious but we must make certain we are vigilant. Try to do the opposite to what we are accumstomed to doing and create a new and more rewarding stereotype. Vigilance is the secret of change. The old stereotypes never completely disappear because they are stored in the Akashic Record, which exists on the etheric plane. Another way of saying the same thing is that we cannot simply erase old stereotypes because they exist in the subconscious. Simply talking about this will not change the stereotype. We must change the direction by either replacements or grafting onto our mind by allying our consciousness with loftier beings and thoughts.

Temperament

It is almost impossible to change one's temperament. We come into the world with a clearly defined temperament. Character is influenced by the environment, family, society, education and other factors. So, it does sound like character is influenced by many aspects of life. A person's character is identical to his temperament but, it is a new 'edition'. It is deliberately acquired. We have the choice to either improve or ruin our lives. An important factor is our individual will and also the will of others. The end result is that a person's character reveals what he has decided or accepted to be. Character is the expression of the conscious dimension of man. Temperament is the expression of the unconscious or subconscious dimension.

It is true that your temperament evolves not only from what birth sign you were born under but how you allied yourself in past lives by your thoughts, desires and actions, with certain forces. The accumulative effect now determines your subconscious, which is your temperament. There is not too much you can do about it. It is like your skeleton or muscular system; it cannot be radically changed. Powerful thought and will can slowly and imperceptibly can eventually make little changes.

Character, on the other hand, can be changed. What we can do is mold and improve it. Once a soul decides to become a disciple of truth, he begins his transformation.
As an example: If you have lack of self control and frequently hurt other people's feelings, you can one day wake up to the fact that your attitude is not only detrimental to yourself but to others as well. Once you experience an inner realization, there are things you can do to soften your character and stop abusing others as well as your self. By managing to control ourselves, no damage is caused.
Temperament is closely related to man's animal nature. Character although closely associated with temperament represents the intellectual, conscious, voluntary dimension or impulses of our biological nature. Character does not exist at birth. It is formed gradually, over the years. For example: Children have a temperament but not yet a character.

Attainments

In the Sutras, there is a section on attainments. It states that attainments do not necessarily equate to freedom. A power, which is called attainment, suggests we are becoming powerful but it doesn't mean we are perfect or have achieved a balanced state of mind. There are twists to everything. Something for all of us to think about. There are many people who have psychic gifts, powers of various types and their lives are a mess.

In Sutra 3.16, it states we can become a conscious time traveler and learn to see either the past or future as if it were actually happening in the present. This is a very serious sutra. Where is your mind? Everything appears to go back to the state of the mind in the moment. Try checking on your thoughts at least once an hour. Meditation and chanting will bring you into the moment if you remain conscious. In other words, don't bliss out but stay in the moment. Breathing exercises help tremendously with our attaining a focused mind.

In Sutra 3.21, we are urged to look into our selves. We need to seriously look at the images we create of other people. Are they really true? The images we create of others can be false. It often is what we want to see or we project our own image on that person. One of the most powerful tools is to choose to create harmony, because harmony is the basis of creation. If we do not understand harmony, we will continue to be influenced by the memories of the past or look to the future. Work on attaining harmony that is useful and long-lasting and the present becomes an activity that is in harmony with the forces of nature, with the luminous spirits of the invisible worlds as well as with human beings.

Ultimate Goal

It is a wise and kind move on our part when we abandon past hurts and pleasures and at every moment meet each person as if we are seeing them for the first time. In other words, the ancient wisdom teachings suggest that we look past the skin, the ego and allow the beauty and mystery of every person to unfold without our mental interference.

Why not open up to life and transcend the need to read an other's mind? Because in reality we are the other. When we understand that truth we see that all people have identical feelings; the same hurts, fears, longings, and hopes. Everyone has the same structure of thinking and self-centered concerns. We then grasp the nature of all minds because we are all one mind, not some vague concept, but as a concrete reality. The message is to stop creating images of others and assuming you know them. You do not.

So, to remove the hindrances in the mind, we need to give ourselves a new vision of who we are. the vision will help safeguard our future. The thrust is in healing ourselves first allowing no one to abuse us and that we do not abuse anyone, which includes by the way our own minds and bodies. Understand? The ultimate goal is conquest of inner space.
