The Truth : Nothing But The Truth
The Prophet – On Death
Then Almitra spoke and said: ‘We would ask now of death.’
And the Prophet replied:
‘You can only begin to understand the secrets of death
When you know that first and foremost you are a spirit and soul,
And start to look for them in the heart of life itself.
You will then become aware that in truth there is no death,
Only transformations when each one of you,
Time and again at the end of yet another lifetime,
Returns into another state of consciousness.
Birds are messenger of the world of spirit or light,
Your true home, from where you once came
And to which you return at the end of every earthly lifetime.
You have been granted the gift of another sojourn on the earthly plane,
So that you may grow in wisdom and understanding,
And with the passing of time evolve into
A seeker of God’s wisdom and truth, a human owl.
On the Earth owls represent symbols of wisdom,
But there are two types of these birds.
In the early stages of your education in the school of earthly life
You are like one of those who can only fly and hunt at night,
Because their eyesight is very poor in daylight.
However, as you proceed on your evolutionary pathway
That in the end takes you back into
The conscious awareness of your true nature and
Your oneness with God and all life,
You become ever more evolved and gradually grow into
A likeness of the second type of owl, who can see
Equally well by day and night.
Because you are constantly learning something from your experiences,
You are growing wiser all the time, until eventually there
Comes a moment when you discover that you are beginning
To find what you are looking for as well in the darkness of Earth life,
As you do on the other side of the veil of consciousness.
In the past this separated your two worlds like a curtain as much for you,
As it does to this day for many of your siblings in the human family,
While for you it is ever more disappearing.
For as long as you remained trapped in the initial darkness
Of the dungeon of the ignorance of an earthly existence,
And remained ensnared by the belief that this state
Was your only reality and that this was all there is to life,
You could not see beyond the end of your nose
And it was impossible for you to perceive
The vast horizons of the higher and highest dimensions of life.
For as long as you stayed on that evolutionary level,
You found it hard to grasp and unveil
The mysteries of life and death, darkness and light.
To enable you to understand the spirit of death,
The Divine spark in you first had to awaken,
So that your heart could open wide unto all other aspects of life,
Until finally you grasped that in truth
Life and death are one,
The same as a river and the sea,
Into which it pours itself, are one.
Your Creator deeply and permanently imprinted
The silent knowledge of the higher and highest aspects
Of life, your true home, into the memories of your soul.
From there they continue to surface in your hopes and dreams
In a longing and yearning for the world you once came from,
With none of the trouble and strife of Earth’s harsh environment.
Such dreams lead you to your highest aspirations.
Nurture and care for them, so they can light your way home.
Like a seed that patiently waits beneath the snow
For the arrival of spring, your soul has never given up the
Hope of one day returning into that existence.
Trust these dreams, for they are the key that
In due course will unlock the gates of Eternity for you.
And what about your fear of death?
It can be likened to the trembling of a shepherd,
Who stands before his King, waiting that he should lay
His hand upon him in honour.
Is the shepherd not joyful beneath his trembling,
Although he knows that he will soon be wearing his King’s mark?
But even so, before the event he is more mindful of his trembling
Than of the gift that awaits him.
And what is ceasing to breathe the air of the Earth,
But the freeing of your soul from this planet’s restless emotional tides,
So that it may rise, expand and seek God unencumbered
By a physical body and the concerns of Earth life?
Only when you drink from the river of the silence of
The world of light, your soul truly sings.
And only when you reach the top of the spiritual mountain
The real ascent begins.
And only when your physical body has been returned
To Mother Earth, to which it belongs,
Will you once more know for sure
What your role in the great dance of life has been all along.
As one of God’s beloved children of the Earth,
You are a spark of the Divine,
An immortal being who has all Eternity to look forward to,
Filled with ever more new explorations and fresh learning,
Safely guided and protected by God and the Angels.
Whether you believe in them or not, at any given time,
They will forever be around you, with you and part of you.
From ‘The Prophet’ by Kahlil Gibran 1883-1931

When The Curtain Goes Up (12b)
‘The Sun of each spirit/soul, at the beginning of its evolutionary journey, is placed like a train on track in the first degree of Aries, the point of all beginnings. The initial earthly lifetime are spent with getting to know the lower and lowest drives and urges of your nature. Every one of you experiences them first from the giving end of handing out suffering to those around you. Later when your spirit/soul has grown up and matured sufficiently, you find yourself on the receiving end of similar experiences.
‘Every new lifetime takes you another step forwards and upwards on your evolutionary journey. And that’s how time and again you pass through every one of the zodiac’s signs and houses. In an orderly and well organised way, you gradually absorb ever more of their lessons and each one adds to the comprehension of your own nature, humankind’s and also the material world that surrounds you.
‘You exist in every one for a predestined length of time that allows your spirit/soul and your earthly self to grow through whatever experiences your educational program provides for you. When they have been attended to, your spirit/soul slips from its physical body and one of the Angels of transformation returns them to their true eternal home for resting and recuperation from the stresses of earthly life. At the same time, every spirit/soul builds up their strength for tackling the next one.
‘Every new round of the zodiac takes you onto a somewhat higher level of experiences. That’s how the light of your own higher God or Christ nature is constantly increasing. The Christ light consists of love in its most powerful and purest expression. And that’s how, with the passing of time, all human beings bring forth, each from deep within their own being, ever more of that which is good, right and beautiful. It is a process in which no outside forces are involved.
‘Through this the Christ nature of every spirit/soul and its earthly personality steadfastly grows more powerful. They grow into one and that enables them to bring forth, each from deep within, a contribution to making your world into a more loving, peaceful and agreeable place. Be aware that nobody is without at least a spark of the Christ love and that it exists in even the meanest and lowest earthly selves who have just started attending the earthly school of life’s lessons.
‘Many of you are aware that on the inner plane all life is one and there is no separation between anything. As a result, whenever we hurt or harm someone in our world, it is done to everybody and therefore ultimately also to ourselves. Naturally, this also applies to every bit of good that’s done entries for someone in our world. On top of it, while the former creates debits in our spiritual ledger, the latter adds credit entries. Once you are familiar with this, it frees you to take the greatest care only to send what’s good, right and beautiful into your world. After all, this is the only way of behaving that’s worthy of young Gods in the making. On top of that, the law of cause and effect or Karma, when the last debit entries in your spiritual bankbook have been redeemed, which in due course they will be, nothing but what’s good, right and beautiful can return to you.
That’s why when someone hurts them, wise ones have no intention of ever revenging themselves. They most certainly don’t turn the other cheek because in their case that would be nothing but an expression of masochism. As karmically such actions would be detrimental for their spiritual development, our sages prefer to forgive the offender because they are aware that what they did could only happen because on another occasion, which could have been many lifetimes ago, they did something similar to that person. That’s why the law of Karma returned to them. Their knowledge enabled them to first forgive themselves for setting the wheels of these events in motion, as explained in one of the previous chapters.
‘The Divine Trinity of the Great Father/Mother of all life and the light of their only born Son/Daughter, the Universal Christ is your Creator. Everything that exists in the whole of Creation was brought into being by them. That’s what the Aquarian writings mean when they talk of God. The good as well as the bad are equally of God. However, it needs bearing in mind that the first two Universal laws of life are love and evolution, i.e. evolution that’s based on love. This clearly shows that whatever is still dark, ugly and evil in every one of us, the whole of humankind and our world, with the passing of time every bit of it is meant to be transmuted into something good, right and beautiful. At the beginning of their earthly education, potentially every human being has their share of both within and we are required to work with them in described manner.
Our world’s old religions served the Angels and Masters as ideal instruments for familiarising every member of the human family, who was at that time being educated in the earthly school of life, with the lower and lowest drives and urges of their own nature, as well as everybody else’s. Six thousand years of patriarchy are lying behind you with it’s tales that your world is ruled by an all-male Godhead. Thanks be to God and the Angels that this never was and will be what really happens.
In spite of the patriarchy’s strange stories, the creative process never changed. The only way it has always worked and forever will continue to do so, is the masculine/feminine forces of life as a oneness that cannot be separated by anything in the whole of Creation. In spite of the old religions’ strange stories, the Great Father/Mother have always continued to work together in the sweetest of harmony. Lovingly one responds to the needs and wishes of the other one. The same is true for every human being. Every man’s inner being is feminine and every woman’s is masculine. Just the same as in our Creator, the masculine/feminine in all of us are inseparable within.
However, the belief that the Godhead really is an all-male affair, on the earthly plane created plenty of opportunities for teaching humankind about the nature of suffering. For a truly complete education, every one of us needs to experience both sides of everything that’s likely to ever occur to us on the earthly plane. That’s why first we are on the giving end of generously handing out as much suffering as possible to those around us. Many lifetimes later, when our same spirit/soul has spiritually matured sufficiently to cope with what the law of cause and effect or Karma unavoidably returns to us, we find ourselves on the receiving end of what we once did to others. Our world’s present situation is the grand crescendo of the final part of this experience.
There is nothing to be afraid of in the spirit realm and much to look forward to because it’s a world that is filled with nothing but love and light. There is no darkness and no cold. As explained, the manifold false beliefs, superstitions and prejudices of the old religions were necessary and served the wise higher purpose of teaching our world the value of truth. That’s why this barrier of darkness and fear was created by the Angels and Masters of the Christ Circle, the throne of the Highest. With the appearance of each new belief system this barrier grew more powerful. That’s how all together the old religions provided an ever stronger deterrent that stopped human beings from committing suicide on an ever grander scale, as the lessons every one of us and the whole of humankind had to take part in became increasingly severe.
