The True Nature of Existence - Letter 8 Excerpt

[As channeled by the Recorder. The formatting of the Letter has been preserved.]
The TRUTH OF BEING is this: 

YOU who believe only in the material world, live entirely in the earthly, finite world. You live within a dimension of the manifestation of your beliefs.

Those whose spiritual perceptions and lives have been raised in frequencies of vibrations to merge with the spiritual frequencies of vibration of the spiritual dimension can perceive that they live in two dimensions. They are fully aware of this truth. And they live according to this truth, and evolve into ever higher frequencies of being.

They are no longer bound by human belief but live within the realisation that they live within infinity in which are no limitations. The higher their vibrational frequencies of consciousness, the more aware they are that they live within infinity and that only they themselves set the limits on what they can aspire to. 

Those whose perceptions have been heightened in this way whilst still in their bodies, have seen that there is only one dimension of actual ‘individual being’ and this dimension is ‘Divine Consciousness Activity’.

They may also come to fully realise there is the further dimension of Universal Consciousness in which the Universal resides in perfect equilibrium and may be penetrated by none, because within this dimension any individuality would be immediately drawn into the Unity of Being.

When a soul reaches, in understanding and realisation, the topmost level of the frequencies of vibrations of consciousness – Christ Consciousness – the soul can look down and review the levels of vibrations ascending and descending to those of humanity on earth and know, with love and compassion, humanity is trapped in the lower vibrations of Divine Consciousness hidden within the Ego-Drive, wholly unaware of the Truth of Being, the soul’s true identity and the earthly truth of the ego. Neither does it have the slightest awareness of the immense purpose behind its existence and the eventual mission it must embark upon.

The task of the newborn soul is to experience, through means of its sheath ‘the psyche’, all that these lower frequencies have to offer and grow as a result of the mental/emotional events and experiences arising out of their thoughts and feelings. The soul must learn, through trial and error, the state of consciousness which makes it immensely happy or burdened with grief and sorrow which initiate various physical limitations.

The purpose of life on earth is not to discover a means to experience undeviating joy and bliss, although this is what each soul longs for.

Such bliss and joy would hinder the soul’s progress into the higher spiritual vibrations of consciousness.

Eventually after many lifetimes of ‘highs’ and ‘lows’ of comfort and sorrow, the psyche will wake up to the truth of its being and will realise that it has within itself the potential to draw on Divine Consciousness for insight, understanding and knowledge and to raise its spiritual consciousness vibrations to those of health, well-being, protection, inner growth, spiritual nutrition and to radiate to others the nature of Divine Consciousness Itself.

As I have said before CONSCIOUSNESS is LIFE and LIFE is CONSCIOUSNESS.

Where there is LIFE – there is CONSCIOUSNESS. 

Where there is CONSCIOUSNESS there is LIFE. 

EVERYTHING in existence is defined by vibrational frequencies of consciousness. Light, Sound, Colour, all physical phenomena both living and inanimate. If you can change the frequencies of vibration of any single thing, you change the appearance of that thing – be it sound, colour, gas, liquid, physical organs.

When physical organs present an appearance of ill-health, it is because the normal frequencies of vibrations of that physical organ have been reduced and the LIFE within the organ has been depleted. Science presents the universe as being ‘matter’ possessing consciousness but the truth is:

The universe is CONSCIOUSNESS which has taken on the appearance of ‘matter’ as a result of a descent into the lower frequencies of vibration of consciousness.

This is the true reality of existence – nothing else.

Your existence is all a matter of frequency of vibrations. The higher the spiritual perceptions and the adherence to spiritual thought, the more swift are the personal vibrational frequencies in the body, the vitality is raised and illness eventually disappears.

The scientific fraternity believes you live entirely within the human dimension comprising the solar system, and the galaxies of stars. Science believes the human intellect is the highest point of intelligent reference at any time, having evolved in response to changing environment and climatic conditions and is purely the product of brain activity. According to science, your emotions are wholly real and valid and what you think and feel is beyond all dispute, these constitute the only ‘reality’ of existence. Normalcy is computed according to the ‘average’ thoughts, actions, and responses to the environment. This is perceived as the human ‘reality’.

Any talents which transcend the ‘average’ output of ‘average’ minds is reckoned as being ‘genius’ arising from unusual mental powers. The ‘below average’ output is said to be due to retardation due to some physical cause – genetics, birth trauma, etc. Science believes the physical dimension is the beginning and the end of existence. Science is so set against any possibility of self-delusionary beliefs that it will accept as being ‘real’ any phenomenon provided it can be computed, estimated and proved by instruments.

If you think about this carefully, you will come to realise that what science holds fast to as fact is, in reality, only belief created by drawing conclusions through the exercise of the five senses.

So is it with every other facet of your existence. In your earthly dimension, facts take place second by second but the moment they have happened, they become memory-beliefs and memories are not always accurate. Whatever feelings and thoughts you have about the past are not facts but points of view, beliefs, and are, therefore, not facts – nor the Reality behind them.

This applies to every facet of your existence. The Truth is: you live in a worldly dimension composed entirely of your beliefs arising from your responses to what happened a hundred, thousand or ten thousand years ago.

At one time, people believed the world was flat. Therefore, for them, they lived in a flat world and were afraid to sail the seas too far in one direction, because they were in danger of falling off the edge of the world. For these people, their world was flat, while today, with knowledge, your world is accessible in every direction.

People, in the past, and also in the present time, directed their lives according to ‘old wives’ tales’, the power of the ancestors and other legends. They believed in them so implicitly, the limitations imposed by these beliefs restricted people’s actions and activities.

Dancing was believed to be sinful and wicked by certain ‘Christian’ sects for instance. Therefore, many people who would have derived great happiness and release from stress when dancing, were wrongfully denied this pleasure.

Religion comes under the same heading. Beliefs are the very substance of religion. They are founded on age-old happenings which are nothing but belief. The beliefs may have been relevant to the general mindset of those times, but they have long since become irrelevant in a constantly changing world, yet they are strictly adhered to and become the focus of worship, festivities, celebrations, mourning – and more destructively – they become the reason for men killing one another and causing horrific misery to women and children.

Certain religions claim that ‘God is everywhere and in all things’ but also affirm dogmatically, that no one knows the ‘mind’ of ‘God’, or the reasons why people kill one another – it may be in God’s plan, they say. With mindsets composed of a conglomeration of illogical beliefs, where can mankind, at this present time, find any certainty of beauty, joy, health, well-being, love?

Religious ideas present a ‘God’ whose ‘will’ can bring life and healing or death and destruction. In such beliefs, there is no certainty of anything other than uncertainty.

With such a belief, any sickness or abnormality can be excused as being ‘God’s Will’. It is your BELIEFS which control all your expectations of what life may hand out in the future.

Healthy agnosticism, the kind of mindset which accepts it does not know the nature of ‘God’ or whether there is any ‘God’ at all but is perfectly open to the conviction imparted by enlightenment, is preferable to fanatical beliefs in half-truth or non-truth.

How blind is the human race generally!

People are like moles living within their tunnels, convinced they are capable of ‘sizing up’ the entirety of their existence by using their senses of hearing, smell, very limited vision and touch.

Thus may you descend the scale of life forms and witness thousands of species living lives entirely defined and limited by their senses. What they can perceive as ‘real’ constitutes their personal ‘reality’, their particular world. Every strata of existence experienced by various species of living things, is distinct from every other within the earthly dimension. This includes the human mind which is literally possessed by religious doctrines and dogmas and imprisoned in scientific theories and mathematic formulas.

Religious doctrines have been conceived by human reasoning in an effort to explain the teachings of spiritual Masters, whose minds have moved beyond the human sphere of intellect into the heavenly spheres of inspired perception of ‘Universal Reality’.

Scientific concepts are also the product of the human senses rationalising and giving names to phenomena viewed by human sight during experimentation.

When, therefore, the human intellect is able to set aside such limited beliefs and ascend into contact with the ‘Reality’ beyond the ‘highest human reasoning, logic, and rationalisations’ which are termed ‘knowledge’, such a mind enters the higher spheres of ‘LIFE-CONSCIOUSNESS’. It is imbued with ‘universal truth’ which is literally beyond the scope of the ‘normal’ human mind to perceive or accept or understand. The human mind cannot understand any experience beyond that of the electromagnetic parameters of earthly existence and the functions of the brain – until Divine Consciousness enlightenment enters the entire human system of mind, emotions and subconsciousness – then the underlying unity and harmony is revealed.

When altogether new spiritual perceptions are presented to a religiously indoctrinated mind, these are perceived as being from ‘Satan’ or sheer lunacy or imagination. This is natural since when the emotions are severely aroused and challenged, as happens when deep beliefs are contradicted, the magnetic-emotional ‘bonding-rejection’ impulses of the ego-drive immediately come into action. 

Any thesis or proposal which causes the conditioned mind acute mental discomfort, dismay or puzzlement, will be rejected instantly and a whole barrage of ‘proofs’ will be summoned from the beliefs in the conditioned mind to back up such rejection. But the proofs are merely beliefs.

This is an entirely natural mental-emotional process within the purely human dimension.

Therefore, if this – my TRUTH – is offered to those whose mindsets are firmly established and conditioned by fear or strengthened by the human will to adhere to such programmed beliefs, it is only natural that the TRUTH will arouse unruly emotions and be quite violently, possibly virulently rejected.

The foregoing is a description of normal mental-emotional activity within the human dimension.

It should not be criticised since a conditioned mind is made to feel completely insecure and ‘adrift’ or ‘all at sea’ when confronted with an entirely new concept. These human idioms describe exactly what happens when an indoctrinated mind is challenged by an entirely new perception of what was previously held to be so dear, so safe, so right!

When first reading these Letters you can determine for yourselves where you stand mentally and emotionally. 

Are you blocked from spiritual progress by your stubborn adherence to present beliefs? 

Are you able, after due thought, to realise that all you are so sturdily upholding is only – ‘belief’ – irrational belief?

It is absolutely vital to your spiritual development that you should, at long last, fully understand the principles of your human mind and emotional functioning. You think you do, but you do not understand it at all. You can only understand it by coming out of it entirely, transcending it, moving into higher dimensions of perception and experience – entering into TRUTH ITSELF.

Only then do you begin to perceive that you and every other person in the world, have lived and directed your lives almost entirely by human ‘beliefs’ – not TRUTH.

There are many people who believe wholeheartedly that if they pray for a certain object or experience, or the bestowal of the right guidance in a certain situation, they will truly receive the right object, experience or guidance which will enhance their well-being.

They believe that when (if !) their prayer is answered, they will whole-heartedly rejoice and immediately follow the lead, irrespective of present conditions, because, coming from the Divine, it can only be the right answer conducive to happiness.

However, when faced with the arrival of the longed-for object, or experience or guidance – the recipient of Divine Grace sometimes becomes so disturbed and disoriented, unable to accept that there has been an intrusion of Divine Consciousness exactly as asked for, that he/she does not know how to deal with it.

If minds are so disturbed when what they have asked for is actually given them in an unexpected way – where is the true FAITH and BELIEF which they were so certain they wholly possessed in abundance? 

Do you not also see that belief, not Truth – has orchestrated the whole symphonic movement – with the exception, of course, of the Divine Consciousness intervention – the answer to the prayer. This intervention is the only ‘reality’ in the whole procedure – the rest is belief and hope – mental gymnastics using past experiences by which to measure the present. 

Your only TRUTH is Divine Consciousness which leads only to growth and perfection – if you fully trust it to do so.

Pause here and read and reread the foregoing paragraphs because what goes on in your consciousness is the fabric of your experiences and lives.

So question yourselves: do you really PERCEIVE – REALISE – UNDERSTAND the Reality as being the source of all knowledge and creativity? Or do you merely pay lip service and superficial mental acknowledgement to Divine Consciousness?
Do you fully and completely live, minute by minute, in the realisation that UNIVERSAL CONSCIOUSNESS is the only Reality and Highest Intelligence operational within creation? 

Do you consistently depend on Its supremely effective guidance or do you think that you would rather live by your own finite will and sometimes muddled emotional impulses?

And, if you are given direct guidance to follow a certain lead, but stop to think whether the guidance is leading you where you think you want to go, are you fully surrendered to the Highest Intelligent Authority – Divine Consciousness? 

Is this not an indication your ego is still in control? Even these Letters, when circulated as intended, will come to be ‘beliefs’, not the pure spiritual perception of ‘WHAT IS’ out of which these words have come.

Only by taking these words into meditation, after asking for spiritual illumination, will the spiritual ‘Reality’ behind the words eventually come like a shaft of light into the mind.

When this happens, you will KNOW that you know.

Those of you who have evolved sufficiently to live in two dimensions, YOU whose minds can move beyond the realm of human intellect into the higher dimension of ‘Universal Reality’ will probably encounter many people, in time to come, who will reject these Letters as imagination, but be not dismayed.

Remember what I am telling you now. 

YOU are residents of two dimensions and none may pass beyond the dimension of ‘mere intellect’ until the prerequisites to spiritual enlightenment have been fulfilled. These are a true spiritual awakening leading to deep insight into the activities of the ego and self-hood......followed by remorse......remorse...... remorse. This is the ONLY WAY.

For remorse, in turn, leads to the rejection of the magnetic-emotional dimension of ‘rejection-bonding’ which, in its more virulent forms, humans described as ‘sin’.

When a person penetrates the spiritual dimension and is imbued with ‘LIFE’ characteristics, the person begins to realise and eventually KNOW that the human ego-drive to ‘look out for the self’ actually shuts the SOUL off from the continuous inflow of DIVINE LIFE’ into the mind, heart, body, relationships and daily experiences.

‘Looking out for yourself’ is a human, earthly experience.

Total, sincere, surrender of the self-hood to ‘FATHER-LIFE’ removes the block between the spiritual dimension and the soul. 

A person no longer has to ‘look out for himself’, all that DIVINE LIFE is, now flows into the individual’s body, mind, heart, experiences and relationships. 

Such a person lives by ‘instinct’ and follows hunches which always work out perfectly in the long term. ‘DIVINE LIFE’ IS ALWAYS THERE TO BE ACCESSED, whenever the person surrenders self-will and turns to IT for every need.

You must remember that I am referring to the time when you penetrate the human dimension of intellect and move beyond your reliance on ‘intellect’ and material means to get you what you want out of life. Many people think they have reached this place of spiritual development but are deluding themselves.

When a person abandons logic – and knows beyond all doubt that guidance can be utterly relied upon to achieve inspired goals, your life changes. Benefits flow into your experience when you fully realise that Divine Consciousness is the unseen Reality – the Power – at work behind the outer appearances of your life, moving ‘intelligent energy force’ to manifest your needs. You do not have to deny appearances, or pour thought-power into a condition you are seeking to resolve.

All you have to do is surrender self-will and KNOW that as your limited intellect yields, so does the Infinite Reality move in to order your life in an altogether new way, to wean you away from all your supports of the past, bring to your mind a new vision for a new endeavour, and lead you into new areas of activity. But when this happens, you have to be prepared to ‘let go’ completely.

You have to release your grip on the securities of the past and know that even greater securities of a different nature await you as you follow your inspiration.

Since this state of spiritual/human existence and harmonious well-being depend entirely on a person’s ability to make true contact with Divine Reality, it is imperative to return again and again to an in-depth study of Divine Reality Itself and the way in which the ego-drive is ceaselessly at work within the human consciousness blocking out the intuitive directions of the Divine Life within the mind. 

At the moment you are living in a shadowy burdened existence instead of consciously living within and entering into ‘Divine Consciousness’ and allowing IT to permeate and gladden your thinking and life experiences. You remain locked within the mental-emotional framework of electromagnetic impulses until you set your willpower to consciously dissolving the fabric of your humanly conceived beliefs and come to see clearly that your Reality is Divine Consciousness – not your family, or bank book. When you achieve this insight, you will enter into LIGHT – and the LIGHT will abide in you.

Because of the discomfort and the tug-of-war between the evolving soul and the human ego, (which demands to ‘look good’ rather than ‘BE GOOD’, and yet cannot bear the thought that it may ever be imperfect), there are few people receiving inspiration and passing it on to others at this time, who will speak about the need to go through a period of inner cleansing. 

Modern people are conditioned to instant service, instant light, instant heat, instant food, drink, clothes and entertainment, and therefore are not attracted to a TRUTH which involves self-sacrifice, hard work and total dedication to the goal. Besides which, many of these teachers are making a good deal of money out of their activities and they must present a ‘Truth’ that will sell!

If your modern teachers speak of a path of attainment to the highest dimensions by means of the transference of personal mental illumination, it will still be necessary to undergo the inner intense self-examination and purification of the bonding-rejection of ‘magnetic emotions’.

If you are truly on the upward path to the highest spiritual dimensions, your road will be characterised by moments of bright clear-sighted self-inspection and self-realisation, followed frequently by self-loathing. This dark and painful feeling is the magnetic emotion in reverse.

Where before, the ego clung to its essential vision of itself as being the greatest and even greater than others, it now begins to glimpse the agonising fact that perhaps it is not only slightly – but very imperfect. Any person reaching this spiritual level of development will find they are now travelling the road to true humility.

Take heart when you find this happening to you. You are now pushing away the debris of past erroneous beliefs about yourself and your illusory self-hood. Remember that it is your ‘intention’ or ‘motivation’ or ‘conviction’ which gives creative power to do whatever you want to do.

The moment that you desire with all your heart to reverse your normal trend in your magnetic-emotional patterns, you have set this process in motion. 

If you clearly define the goals you wish to achieve and keep them ever before your vision in writing or in mind, very shortly you will discover that the desired changes have taken place in your consciousness. When this happens, you will feel a lightness in spirit and will have moments of pure joy. You will be proving that the TRUTH of BEING does bring ‘captive hearts’ into the perfect freedom of spiritual living.

At the same time, you have to understand that your ego must, (of necessity to enable you to survive), make you believe you are of value to yourself and other people. Any external serious challenge regarding the value of the self is highly destructive. A desperate fear and internal subsidence of confidence will lead to the conviction that you are without value in the world, and suicide can be the natural outcome. Therefore, your progress will and must be gradual.

No one should ever expect people to be wholly changed by words of advice or times of inspiration. Growth can only take place very gradually – one insight at a time.

A true spiritual insight will imbue a person’s mind with an altogether new point of view which will enable him to begin to approach certain related circumstances in life differently. This insight must direct the person’s actions until it has been absorbed completely into the consciousness for eternity and becomes part of the soul evolution.
