The Path Ahead

The True Measures

There are two basic measures which indicate our spiritual growth. The first is our capacity to be a radiant centre of love & healing energy. The other is our emergence as a magnetic centre of expression for the divine Will to Good. As we grow in spiritual strength we attract those to us who can benefit from the radiance & quality of our aura, we become an attractive centre. It seems that after all the talk and opinions have ebbed away these two are the only real qualities to be developed in these darkening days of humanity's history. They can be developed by one and all through active meditation, service to Life, constant surrender of the mind to the heart and discernment in our practice and associations.

What have we created?

It is a truism in esoteric thought that whatever manifests in our 3 dimensional world has first been conceived and intended upon the inner levels of consciousness.

Whether it be a political revolution, an invention or even a fashion trend, everything that emerges into the light of day has been visualised and designed by its creator/s at a more subtle level. That level may be the spiritual, mental or astral (desire) level & the quality and the creator may be an individual, or more likely a group of thinkers or visionaries.

It has become clear to me in recent times that what we are witnessing in the world at present is the externalisation of the lower astral plane. This is the level of conciousness where the lower desires & emotions that have been created by each of us remain, until the opportunty occurs for them to remanifest. While the product of the mental plane is of a higher order, the astral plane is illusionary and unreal and keep us bound to the unreal. Hence the sense of unreality and frenzy that current trends express.

When we look at how everything has become tinged with violence, become sexualised, how greed and self-interest have become king, it suddenly makes sense that this is what is happening. And obviously enough the vehicles for this emanation of the astral plane into the physical are the media, marketers, PR and other people who wish to influence & sell their products, whether it be a pop star, movie or consumable.  

Just as when a boil is lanced & the pus is released, so we are now experiencing the release of all the suppressed desires, emotional pain and negative imaginings that Humanity has generated over time. As confusing and distressing as this trend is for sane people to witness, it is as necessary for our world as the catharsis that occurs when a person undergoes psychotherapy. In that situation the person releases the pain, supressed desires and traumas that have been held in their subconscious. Only after this release can they find peace and become more whole, because they are now aware of a larger consciousness.

And so in the case of the whole of Humanity, this current outbreak of illusion and insidious glamour, presages the externalisation of the Spiritual Hierarchy. Members of the Hierarchy are normally contacted through meditation & invocation upon the higher mental level, that of the soul. But we have been told by the Master DK that they are re-emerging into the world. Not to save us, because we must save ourselves, but simply to demonstate a better way and promote new initiatives in the field of politics, education and the other fields of living.

Hence, the crises, madness, confusion and distress that is occuring is an indicator that this release of the astral is occuring and that the externalisation of the wisdom of the higher mental plane will follow on from it. In the meantime let us be discerning in what we ingest of the world's delusion and continue to serve in our chosen fields in order to prepare the way for those of our elder Brothers and Sisters who have already become what we are each destined to become... the Way, the Truth & the Life. 

Sending Love & Light

My friend and mentor Edmund Harold has for many years taught a technique for offering forgiveness to people who have attacked or hurt you in some way. It is also good to help heal those who may be struggling in their lives and 5 minutes each day is enough to help any relationship.  It is white magic in action. 

Quieten yourself and then bring the person concerned into mind. Reflect for a moment on your desire to heal  the relationship or the person themselves and then simply direct a ray of pure white light from your brow centre towards them. Continue this for a few minutes and then add a ray of rose pink unconditional love from the heart centre to the stream of energy you are directing towards the recipient. You are now sending both love and light and you can deepen the intention in your heart and mind by saying silently and with some feeling "I  SURROUND (RECIPIENT'S NAME) WITH LOVE & LIGHT"

Try this with someone whom you have problems with and you will find it is a powerful means to promote forgiveness towards and from the other. It is both the energy you send to them and the intention you hold to dissolve the negative thought you may have about them which contributes to healing. It can be insightful to simply mindfully witness any tendency to think negatively about anyone you know and to consider the damage it does to yourself and the recipient. 

This is an important intervention if you accept that energy follows thought and that habitual negative thinking about someone in your life can create a negative thought form. Such a form can crystallise over time in your energy field and then lead to a disruption in your own emotional health. Whatever we meditate upon increases over time.  Remember?

Don't accept my word for it. Try the technique and see.

Have a safe, successful & peaceful 2010

I want to wish everyone a safe, successful and peaceful new year and new decade.  There is no doubt there will be all sorts of challenges for each one of us but if we can each find a loving response in our hearts to every eventuality, then each of our relationships, experiences and the contributions we make can only make us stronger. I personally am looking forward to serving each person who makes contact through the PATH website www.pathcentre.org and am really looking forward to meeting more inspiring people who are changing the planet and the Teachers who I have been told will be appearing in public to serve the planet this year http://www.pathcentre.org/divinemessage.htm.

While clearly there are major crises ahead there are also great blessings from the Divinity. 

NAMASTE,  John.   

Summer Solstice

Today is the Summer Solstice for those of us in the Southern Hemisphere and of course the Winter Solstice for those in the Northern Hemisphere. The two Solstices and Equinoxes are energetic gateways through which the spiritual seeker moves into the various degrees of the Grail mysteries.

The Summer Solstice is the point at which the aspirant moves into the Air Initiation, which involves learning to master the mental nature and shift the focus into the contemplative mind. i.e. the heart. It is a very challenging stage as many of us are fully identified with the mind or intellect and the mind has its own sense of identity which is threatened by the emergence of the heart. The challenge which emerges is a battle between the lower and higher minds.  

If you would like to read more about the challenge of the Second degree see:  http://www.pathcentre.org/Articles/Seconddegree.html  

Happy Summer Solstice!

Lift your wings

Namaste Everyone.  Recent signs in meditation indicate there are great blessings flowing from Shamballa in the next 7 days, so do lift your spiritual wings now in order to experience the grace flowing from the Divine. 

What's with the Vampires?

I don't know if you have been wondering about it too, but one has to question what is causing this glut of movies, tv shows and books on vampires, zombies, ghosts, demon hunters, psychics, etc, etc, etc?

It does concern me as someone who wants to promote the Light, to see all of this glamorization of bloodsuckers and the undead, as if this material feeds anything positive in our world. Yes, we can all laugh at Christopher Lee and Bella Lugosi flashing their fangs at us, but it seems like this increasing focus on the negative and everything evil is leading us down a darkened path. It looks like our collective Shadow side is emerging more and more as the intensity of earth changes increases.

Paradoxically, it is the current emergence of powerful spiritual ideas and energies into the world which is awakening the fortunate few to their inherent spiritual nature, but also precipitating this release of emotional and mental subconscious trash. Every bit of excrement that was sitting in the planet's astral rubbish bin now seems worthy of being shared with the world. The rock music industry too presents a salacious and nihilistic view of the world and further adds to the ferment. All of this emphasis means that many children see this rubbish and it colours their perspective on the world.

At an energetic level if we aren't engaged in regular meditation and practising mindfulness then there is a tendency for the energy centres to fill up with this dark energy (when we are consciously or accidentally exposed to this display). And no doubt, this stuff is attractive to the instinctive side of our nature because it acts as a temporary stimulant that covers up any pain in our hearts. Sadly, the consequence of resorting to any form of stimulant is a gradual lessening of one's discernment and sense of perspective, of what is right and what is wrong. If you listen carefully to Humanity's heart right now, as the Masters do, then you will hear it weeping.

So, I would encourage readers to keep doing their meditation routines in order to keep clearing the build up of "gunk" that this torrent of suffering, negativity and what has been called the "death culture" exposes us to.

And never forget that by invoking the light of your Soul, the Masters of Wisdom and the Lord of the World you can effectively access grace when your motivation and faith is flagging and all seems dark and lost.  

More Love, Light and Power to You! 

John. 

Symbol of the Avatar

Recently, one evening after my meditation a teacher called Ricardo appeared in my mind's eye.  He was sitting at an easel and introduced himself to me as an artist and a scribe. He said he had previously incarnated as a teacher in the Jewish traditions and was going to teach me something that was old but that he would introduce it in a new form.

He offered me a rose and talked about the origins of form, saying that while the rose he had given me was a visual symbol, the “idea” of the rose is more subtle and beyond even the idea is the “essence” of the rose which is formless.

Ricardo stopped at various intervals to encourage me to relax, as he said it was important to receive the information in a calm and composed state, otherwise the teaching could be distorted. 

He then went on to draw a living image of what he called the “Symbol of the Avatar”. This he drew as the Infinity symbol, but then the centre point of the symbol where the lines intersect started to swell, forming a circle which he said was the emerging form of the avatar. The infinite producing something finite. Then as I watched the circle transformed into what looked like a stem, which Ricardo said was the tube through which the avatar passes into embodiment. He again reiterated that the avatar was to appear in public.

He finished by saying that he was helping me experience “essences”, which would all come together in the most beautiful way for the book I am currently developing based on themes from A Treatise on Cosmic Fire by Alice Bailey. Its a book that will look at the Universal Mind and the Cosmic Heart and how we as individual Spirits are deeply linked to the One Life.

Hello There

Welcome to my blog where you will find insights and ideas, opinions and viewpoints about the birthing pangs of our planet, as it shifts into a new consciousness. I intend posting information as it arises on the activities of the Great White Brotherhood (Spiritual Hierarchy) and the political, ecological and other planetary changes that are constantly emerging. There will also be visionary teachings that I am receiving from the Teachers at an increasing rate in recent months.  - see Symbol of the Avatar. 

I hope you enjoy the blog.

John Waters.
