ONLY ONE TRUE GUIDANCE -- PART TWO

See clearly that the difference between the divine and the satanic is guidance.  It is guidance, or the absence of it, that decides the nature of the path that you walk in life.

 

 

 

Empower Yourself

How easy it would be if you could just close your eyes, enter into the stillness of your being and receive divine guidance, rather like turning on the radio in the morning in order to listen to the news.  But, alas, you all know better!  Why should this be so?  Because, using the analogy of the radio, your radio has very little power and can only receive guidance very faintly.  Your radio is quite serviceable but it needs to be empowered before it can operate efficiently, in just the same way that you have to connect a radio to a power supply before you can receive the radio station.  So you have to empower yourselves in order to obtain this guidance.  You have to empower yourselves by purifying yourselves in thought, word and deed and by establishing a pattern of stillness and silence, times when you consciously attune and direct your thoughts towards the Creator of all Life and humbly offer your being in service to that Lord with no thought of return or reward.

Knowing Intuitively

How many of you actually attune to your Creator on a conscious level during your everyday lives??  How many of you actually make the effort to quieten your minds and bodies at fixed intervals throughout the day and try to attune to your Creator and Its Will for you??  That is the guidance of which I speak.  Now, for most people, guidance does not come as that still small voice within, telling you clearly what to do in any given situation.  Guidance, for the most part, comes from the practice of constantly attuning to the Creator of all Life so that you know, almost intuitively, the path of right action without even having to ask.

By seeking the counsel and wisdom of your Creator in times of peace you will be able to attune automatically to them in times of crisis.  Remember, also, that your every action causes a reaction, that is the Law of Karma, and how the Universe responds to your actions enables you to check on the rightfulness and appropriateness of those actions.  I call this process "universal feedback".  How the Universe or the world around you is responding, provides a mirror to your actions.  This enables you to check on all your actions.

Challenges

The world today presents you with a great challenge.  It is a time when you must go boldly forth into the unknown.  It is a time when you must explore new relationships, both with your fellow human beings and with the three other Kingdoms of Matter, for it is only by so doing that both Humanity and this planet will be saved.  It does not need a wise person to see that little has changed in the field of human relationships over the known course of human history.

Humanity today behave in much the same way as it did in ancient India ad Sumeria, certainly as it did in ancient Greece or Rome.  The only differene between then and now is that the vibratory rate to which Humanity is being subjected is much higher, because the vibratory rate of the Earth is being speeded up.  One result of this vibratory increase is a great intensification in human relationships.  This not only brings out all the weaknesses of Humanity but also all of its strengths.  So it is a time when all people of consciousness should stand forth and be counted, should sound their note.  God works through people and the New Age has to be grounded on the Earth by the people who are open to the new, by the people who are attuning to the note of the new rather than of the old.

A Quantum Leap

Those who seek and follow their own divine guidance will discover not just the reality of life on Earth but the presence and purpose of their Creator in all things.  Now is the time to take a quantum leap forward in consciousness, to discover that everything in creation has God-consciousness and responds to Divine Will.  It is important, therefore, that you create your moments of attunement, that you try to become still and to contact the I AM presence of God within you, that you truly follow the ancient commandment "Be still, and know that I am God".  For without these moments of stillness you will follow the path of the vast mass of Humanity and will be swept along like lemmings to destruction.

Just because society as a whole follows a certain course of action and adopts certain values, that does not mean that you have to join them.  Surely you can see that many, if not all, of the great advances in human understanding have come about only because certain individuals chose to stand against the tide of popular belief, and by stand against I do not mean by consciously opposing but, rather, by simply upholding what they knew to be true.  How did they know it to be true??  Because of their own inner guidance.

Making Choices

If I use orthodox Christian terminology it will, perhaps, help you to distinguish between the paths that are open to you.  As you walk through life you are constantly choosing between what has been called the divine and the satanic paths.  The divine path is the path that leads to oneness with the Creator of all Life and, as such, is empowered by the will of your Creator.  The satanic path is the path which Humanity creates in response to its own egotistical thought forms, to its own desires to be as god.  However, because Humanity cannot accept that it alone creates the satanic path, so it has to place the responsibility for such a creation on some poor individual called the Devil or Satan who has to shoulder the burden of human guilt!!

But, truly, the satanic path is just the other side of the coin.  You all have to make choices, every minute of your conscious lives.  Unless you are a living Master, and have become one with the Creator, then, inevitably, you will err.  Do not be ashamed or downhearted.  To err is only human and, of course, your Creator has made allowance for that in the Divine Plan.  Just realise that it was simply seperation from your God, from your guidance, that created that situation of error in the first place and resolve to learn from that experience and never to repeat the same mistake again.  Life is a classroom.  You are allowed to make mistakes.  So recognise that suffering is simply the repetition of the same mistake -- separation from God.

A Learning Experience

I would like you to see clearly that the difference between the divine and the satanic is guidance.  It is guidance, or the absence of it, that decides the nature of the path that you will walk in life.  Do not, however, think that guidance will guarantee you a smooth path in life.  Look at the life of the Master Jesus.  You all have lessons to learn and karma to transmute.  What guidance will do is to ensure that you fulfil your chosen destiny and fulfil it with understanding and commitment.  Remember that guidance not only flows through you but that it also flows through other people and that God works through all people.  So be aware that everything in life, the people and the things that you like as much as the people and things that you dislike, has a message for you, is a learning experience for you, is your guidance as well.  So you must always be open to the moment and greet it openly and joyfully, for it truly represents your Creator talking to you, guiding you.

It is an aware person who sees the hand of God manifesting in their daily lives and who acknowledges and gives thanks for that presence.  That is true communion.  Recognise that you can choose whether to walk your path in life hand in hand with God, or not.  Indeed, that is the only path that an evolved soul can walk, for that is the path to the mastery of the physical plane of life.  You will only be able to accept the happenings of the next years physically, mentally and spiritually if you are truly walking hand in hand with your God, if you are at one with the Creator of this great drama.

Privileged

The world today is approaching a time of great testing and, therefore, a time of great evolution.  It is a time of the sorting of the wheat from the chaff, a time when many will fall by the wayside and will perish.  But it is also a time of great beginnings.  It is a time of great happenings on all of the many planes of life.  It is, so to speak, the final act of a great drama that began almost seven thousand years ago.  You are all privileged to be here to see the transformation of Humanity into the Golden Age of Aquarius.  So face this great challenge with trust in your Creator.  Go boldly forth into the new Age, secure in the guidance of the God within you, which is truly the one and only guidance that you have.

ONLY ONE TRUE GUIDANCE -- PART ONE

The accuracy of any prophecy, channelling or teaching is directly proportional to the purity and the soul-consciousness both of the source of the teaching and of the human instrument that is receiving and grounding it. 

 

Accuracy

Almost inevitably, any message, any teaching, coming through a physical instrument is distorted to a degree and will be inaccurate in some respect.  And, almost inevitably, the soul and the personality consciousness of the physical instrument will influence both the message and the teaching.  That is why there are those who say that they have seen the future, who know the timing of the worldshattering events that are to overtake Humanity, who have led their followers to places of "survival", who have stablished religious practices designed to "save" the souls of their followers and yet who, in the short term anyway, have been proved wrong.

That is why there is so much conflict amongst the so-called New Age Movement.  That is why there are so many "answers" to the problems now facing Humanity.  That is why there are so many gurus appearing all over the planet who are offering conflicting teachings about the path of human salvation.  One fact, however, is indisputable, even to the most unobservant of human minds, namely, that the pace of life on the Earth is rapidly increasing.

Time Speeding Up

So on the physical, material level the path of human evolution is changing dramatically.  Time is speeding up.  The vibratory rate of the Earth is being quickened by the actions of great Cosmic Lords in order to balance the denseness of human behaviour which is threatening the very existence of the planet.  However, this quickening has increased not only the pace of physical life but also the rate of karmic settlement.  This means that Humanity is being compelled to face tests which strain its point of consciousness, its spiritual understanding, to the very limit.

Only those who are truly God-centered, who are coming from a point of God consciousness rather than body consciousness, will be able to handle this great cosmic challenge.  Again, I will compare this present situation to the problems that have been caused by the advances in speed, size and frequency of public transportation by air.  This means that much of Humanity has the freedom to travel all over the planet with the result that many human problems, instead of being rooted in one place or in one country, are now spread all over the world.  Local problems have now become planetary problems.  Humanity can no longer act in isolation.

Modern Technology

Modern technological advances have intensified rather than moderated the physical challenge to Humanity.  Here, in the Western World, you are in the forefront of this technological revolution, but has it led to a comparable revolution in human consciousness??  Is Humanity really any more evolved, any more aware, any more God conscious, than it was one, two or even three thousand years ago??  Recognise that amidst all of this twenty-first century technology the basic equation of life, namely, man, woman and human relationships, still remains.  Are you any more happy, any more contented, any more wise because of all this technological progress??  Yes, you have a higher standard of living.  Yes, you have a plentiful supply of food and water, available to you at very little personal sacrifice.  Yes, you have a life where most of the physical dangers have been removed, where disease only rarely threatens.  But if this is the case, then why are most people so unhappy with their lives??  Why has the suicide rate increased in most western countries??  Why are human relationships, and the institution of marriage in particular, disintegrating??  Why does Humanity no longer respect the sanctity of all life and pay homage to its Creator??

Divine Link

Humanity has, to a large extent, lost touch with its roots.  Living in a world dominated by human technology, it has forgotten whence it came and whither it will go when it dies.  Humanity has forgotten exactly what is the motive power of all life, what is the source of the energy which creates impels and controls all things.  Above all, Humanity has forgotten its own divine link, its own divine heritage.  It has lost sight of the fact that every human being is either a son or a daughter of God.  Inherent in this divine heritage is the guidance that any earthly father would give to his son or daughter and this is especially true of your Divine Father.  Your Creator is both omniscient and omnipresent and will always guide you if you will but seek Its guidance with an open heart and an open mind.

Moreover, at your very moment of birth you are linked with the celestial beings who will be with you for the whole of your mortal life, your two guardian angels and your doorkeeper, and they have but one purpose in life and that is to serve and to guide you.  Finally, remember that there is always available to you the guidance not only of the great Masters but also of the whole Spiritual Hierarchy on the higher planes of life.  All that is needed to tap into this source is a few minutes of invocatory attunement.

Science

Now many people in your world today believe that all this advanced technology will, somehow, proved the answers to all the problems of life that Humanity is now facing.  They have made Science into a god.  Of course, Science is, in reality, the study of God, but it is not, and never will be, God!  A closer look  will reveal that many of the problems now facing Humanity, especially the environmental ones, are caused by that very same Science!

Humanity, as a whole, and Science, in particular, are now becomig aware that it is the effluent from cars, planes, power stations and industry in general that is destroying the delicate environment of the planet just as much as the rapid increase in erroneous thoughts, words and deeds by the human population.  However, even though the major causes of pollution have been identified, is Humanity prepared to change its patterns of behaviour??  Is Humanity prepared to make the necessary physical sacrifices in order to save the environment of the planet??  You must understand that all technology is but a tool in the hand of Humanity, and if the hand that uses that tool is not aware, is not properly guided, is not working with divine intent, then it can be a very dangerous tool.

Seeking Divine Guidance

Does Humanity, however,  have either the power or the will to transform this present situation, especially if it has not been able to do so in the face of far lesser challenges over the past five thousand years??  Is Humanity capable of suddenly bringing about a change in its behaviour?? Only if it recognises its divine birthright and seeks divine guidance!!  It is only the clear mind, the clean intellect, that can see that Humanity has to find a new form of guidance and by this I mean guidance not of this Earth, guidance that is not subject to human conditioning, to the material concepts of life, to the restrictions of time and space, that has been polluted by the dense vibrations of the physical plane of Earth.  Such guidance can only come from that point of stillness within you, from the God-centre within each and every one of you.

This, therefore, is the real challenge that faces Humanity at this time.  You all have to choose where you want to stand on the wheel of life.  Do you want to stand on the periphery of the wheel, being spun round at high speed, in a confused and bewildered state, constantly being ruled by time and matter, or do you want to stand in the centre of the wheel, in a place of peace and stillness, in the innermost part of your being, your divine spirit.  It is only from such a centre that you can draw on divine inspiration and take right action.

Being Unique

The one and only guidance is the divine guidance which comes from deep within your soul being, which you receive in those moments of stillness, of silent attunement to the Source of all Life.  Such guidance will reveal paths to walk and understandings to follow that are very different to those held and generally accepted by the world today.  It therefore requires great courage and faith not just to listen to but also to put into practice such guidance.  It is difficult to walk alone, against the stream of life and public acceptance, but you must learn to do it.  Do not be afraid of being ahead of your time, of being mocked and even persecuted for heralding the New Age.  Your demonstration is your lesson, is your karma, is your passport into the New Age.  Grow to recognise that every human being is unique, unique not just in their soul being and soul note, but in the path of life that they have walked and in the balance of their karmic account.  So it follows that for every human being divine guidance will be unique, responding to the unique soul note of the individual concerned.

TRUST IS THE NAME OF THE GAME

 
When we´re not connected to our Guidance, we have not real sense of what we´re doing or where we´re going.  So we become conformists (better known as sheep... or SHEEPLE).

 

 

Lessons to be Learnt

"But what if my ideas aren´t really inspired??  What if they´re coming from my need to fix or succeed??  How can I trust that what I´m getting is from my Expanded Self or those who walk with me??"

Believing we´ll be judged or hurt by society, we do everything in our power not to make mistakes.  Yet this is simply social-conscious kind of thinking.  In reality, there is no such thing as a mistake -- just lessons we came here to learn.

Inner Guidance or Intellect?

Trusting our hunches is not easy;  we always want to second-guess ourselves.  We want verification that what we´re getting is the real McCoy, straight from our Expanded Selves.  We want documentation, or some kind of credential behind our ideas to prove they´re the real thing instead of more of our low-frequency fears.  We want a set of rules OUTSIDE of ourselves with which to play this game.  We are so unsure of ourselves in the arena of trusting our inner Guidance, that when an inspired thought COMES in, more times than not we´ll try to intellectualize it or override it in order to feel secure and safe.

Plugging In

The truth is that the Universe doesn´t give out Certificates of Authentic Inspiration;  it only gives feelings.  If we don´t learn to plug into what "feels good", we´re going to miss the connection to our infinite intelligence that can give us all the answers to all of our problems.

Your Inner Being/Expanded Self is aware of your every Want, of all your believe, and of all you´re working on.  Put forth the INTENT that you are going to learn to trust the ideas that give you a twinge of excitement.  They´re coming in on wings of positive energy.  Learn to trust the way you feel.

Following Our Impulses

In every case, what we want is created, but we don´t allow it to come to us because of old vibrational patterns.  We don´t trust what we´re getting.  Yet nothing is more valuable than following our impulses.  Your Inner Being will never let you down.

Your Guidance System

Did you know that your Guidance system never shuts down??  In every moment of every day you are being guided, coached, gently maneuvered, or sometimes hit over the heard with a cosmic 2 x 4.  So now that you´re learning to listen, the next step is to trust.  When a thought feels good, you are in harmony with your intentions.  Follow it through, and watch what happens.  Remember, if it feels unpleasant or seems as though it would be difficult to do, it is not Inspired Action.  But if it gives you a twinge of excitement, trust it, follow it, DO IT!!

The only way we "hear" inspiration is when we´re in a high, positive vibration.  Then we´re matching US with IT.  Inspiration is only, and always, of a high vibration... which is why we "feel good" when we get it.
