LAW AND GRACE. VI

The main reason why it is crucial to understand the concept of Law and Grace is because of the antecedents of the original misadventure of souls on the spiritual plane. We broached and explained it many times in this blog. 

Notwithstanding, it is still imperative to continue to remind ourselves, occasionally, why we ended up in flesh in order to reinforce the need to work harder, to stop further material incarnations. 

This is the only way to actualize the original intention of the Creative Forces when souls were created--for us to be their companions on the spiritual plane. As usual, the choice is personal. We defer to the Akashic for the reminder.

...When the earth became a dwelling place for matter, when gases formed into those things that man sees in nature and in activity about him, then matter began its ascent in the various forms of physical evolution...in the mind of God! The spirit chose to enter (celestial, not an earth spirit--he hadn't come into the earth yet!), chose to put on, to become a part of that which was as a command not to be done.

Then those so entering must continue through the earth until the body-mind is made perfect for the soul, or the body celestial again.  262-99

The original sin, to be discussed in a future post, stems from: 

The spirit chose to enter (celestial, not an earth spirit--he hadn't come into the earth yet!), chose to put on, to become a part of that which was as a command not to be done.

We  had shown, in earlier posts, further evidence on this issue. God The Creative Forces' main intention in creating souls was for companionship. After willing Amilius into being, the process of creation--by God and Amilius--commenced. Hence, most Holy Books use the terms We/Us, especially when talking about God and creation.

Free will was--and still remains--the birthright of all souls you and I from the moment we were willed into existence. From above record, our first act was to to become a part of that which was as a command not to be done. Lucifer led the insurrection.


The onus is now on each soul to exercise the same birthright--used to disobey the Creative Forces in the beginning--to make amends. By spiritual law, the amends have to be executed in flesh. After all we forced ourselves into materiality. 

God does not need any physical gifts or offerings. Gone are the days for such. The completion of the mission of Jesus, the Christ, terminated such misinformed practices--offering physical sacrifices to atone for shortcomings.

He said: God is a spirit and has to be worshipped in the same medium. Simply put, our thoughts, words and deeds need to conform to the God's standard requirement for the material plane. What are those standards?  

The Law!--you must love thy God with all thy heart, thy body and thy soul; and love thy neighbor as thyself. This requirement is not complicated. Nevertheless, it is not achievable in one earthly incarnation. Hence, the Master made thirty earthly incarnations!  

Adherence to The Law, or otherwise, is the spiritual standard used to judge individual thoughts, words and deeds. We brought this on ourselves. How? By, ab initio,  choosing to satisfy self. To ignore The Law, after being privy to it is a tough path to maintain.  

Put simply, now that you know, the benefit of the doubt will gradually cease to apply. The only way to make amends is to, from now, try to align your will with the Divine's. Rome was not built in a day. The Father does not expect a sudden transformation. Take it one step at a time.


The Master showed us how, when He famously, and tellingly, said: Father, let this cup pass from me. However, not my but Thine be done. For any soul to start the process of reducing the pains associated with trying to force our will on issues, endeavor to pray as the Master did in all circumstances.

We shall continue to provide more information from the Akashic on the topic of Law and Grace in subsequent posts. 

Let the light of the  love of the Christ guide be our guide in all activities. 

BALANCING: WORK AND REST. II

Continuing with the theme of balancing work and rest, suffice it to quote from the Akashic to open up.

It is well that each body, everybody, take exercise to counteract the daily routine activity so as to produce rest.   416 - 1

Exercise of the body brings strength and resistance. Exercise of mental activity brings resistances, growth and expansion.   1206 - 13

 To over exercise any portion (of the body) not in direct need of same, to the detriment of another, is to hinder rather than to assist. Exercise is wonderful, and necessary--and little or few take as much as is needed, in a systematic manner. Use common sense. Use discretion.   283 - 1

ANGELS, ARCHANGELS & MASTERS OF THE SPIRIT REALM

In continuation of the theme on the initial manifestation of souls on the earth plane, lets look at what The One fashioned to deal with the uprising of His creation...

 

Sacred texts were recorded by adepts for two types of audience. One is the profane general public and the other is students on the path initiates. Students on the part are individuals who, through free will, choose to study mans' relationship with The One...Read moreↆ 

 

WHAT IS GOD? WHO IS GOD? WHERE IS GOD? (1)

Before any discussion, let us peep into the Akashic's information on the issues. Let it be known that any quote with numbers attached, say 100 - 1 or 223 - 14, are sourced through Edgar Cayce's voyages into The Book of Remembrance Readings.

 1. In the manifestation of all power, force, motion, vibration, that which impels, that which detracts, is  in its essence of One Force, One source,...Read moreↆ 

 

 WHAT IS GOD? WHO IS GOD? WHERE IS GOD? (2)
You have had ample opportunity to reminisce on the Akashic definitions and explanations of the concept of God. We will extrapolate from them in the quest to tie the reality--The One /Creative Forces /Law /Love /Universal Forces etc.--into Christ-Based spiritual living.

The One is whatever an individual wants/perceives Him to be. The same is true of observers of light at the subatomic level. Whether observed as particles or waves, the subject remains the same--light! Recall the particle theory and wave theory of light...Read moreↆ

 

 WHAT IS GOD? WHO IS GOD? WHERE IS GOD? (3)
Theorists  and scientists can come up with a thousand and one reasons why, due to no prompting, the Big Bang--emergence of the universe as a singularity--just came about. Or push for the recognition of Einstein's static-spacetime paradigm.

Until they advert their minds to the validity of information retrieved from the Akashic by Edgar Cayce on the subject, their efforts will be circular movements.

Science relied on the intuitive theory of the atom before an apparatus to observe it was invented. Is it asking for too much to counsel reliance on a yet to be demonstrated Creator of the universe?...Read moreↆ

Acceptance of paradoxes is integral to comprehension and application of spiritual principles. To grasp the big picture about The One, start at the microscopic level. What are we talking about here?...Read moreↆ

WHAT IS GOD? WHO IS GOD? WHERE IS GOD? (1)

Before any discussion, let us peep into the Akashic's information on the issues. Let it be known that any quote with numbers attached, say 100 - 1 or 223 - 14, are sourced through Edgar Cayce's voyages into The Book of Remembrance Readings.

 1. In the manifestation of all power, force, motion, vibration, that which impels, that which detracts, is  in its essence of One Force, One source, in its elemental form...

 God, the First Cause, the First Principle, the First Movement, IS! That's the beginning. That is, that was, that ever shall be.

 The following of those sources, forces, activities that are in accord with the Creative Force or First Cause--Its laws, then--is to be one with the source, or equal with yet separate from that First Cause...

 Or, taking man in his present position or consciousness, how or when he may be aware of the First Cause moving within his realm of consciousness?

 In the beginning there was the force of attraction and the force that repelled. Hence, in man's consciousness he becomes aware of what is known as the atomic or cellular form of movement about which there becomes nebulous activity...Yet this very movement that separates the forces in atomic influence is the First Cause, or the manifestation of that called God in the material plane.

 Then, as it gathers of positive-negative forces in their activity, whether it be of one element or realm or another, it becomes magnified in its force or sources through the universe.

 Hence we find worlds, suns, stars, nebulae, and whole solar systems moving from a first cause.  When this first cause comes into man's experience in the present realm he becomes confused, in that he appears to have an influence upon this force or power in directing same. Certainly! Much, though, in the manner as the reflection of light in a mirror. For, it is only reflected force that man may have upon those forces that show themselves in the activities, in whatever realm into which man may be delving in the moment...

 Hence, as man applies himself--or uses that of which he becomes conscious in the realm of activity, and gives or places the credit (as would be called) in man's consciousness in the correct sphere or realm he becomes conscious of that union of force with the infinite with the finite force. Hence, in the fruits of that--as is given oft, as the fruits of the spirit--does man become aware of the infinite penetrating, or interpenetrating the activities of all forces of matter, or that which is a manifestation of the realm of the infinite into the finite--and the finite becomes conscious of same...   

 So does life in all its force begin in the earth. The moving of the infinite upon the negative of the finite in the material, or to become manifested force.    (262-52)

2.  As in numbers one builds upon the others (as units) and all are formations or divisions or multiples or units of one, so the universe and the expressions of all natures within same are the manifestations of the One Force, One Power, One Spirit, One Energy known as or called a Universal Force, Creative Energy, or God.    (1462-1)  

 3. No man, no physical matter, has ever seen God at any time; only the manifestations of Him.    (707-1)

 4. Q-Is it correct when praying to think of God as an impersonal force or energy, everywhere present; or as an intelligent listening mind, which is aware of every individual on earth and who intimately knows everyone's needs and how to meet them?

 A. Both. For He is also energies in the finite moving in material manifestation. He is also Infinite, with the awareness. And thus as ye attune thy own consciousness, thy own awareness, the unfoldment of the presence within beareth witness with the presence without. (1158-14)

 5. All power, all force, is a manifestation of that which is termed the God-consciousness.    (601-11) 

 6. For know, the greater lesson the world has ever known and may ever learn is, "Know, O ye peoples, the Lord thy God is One---One." (1770-2)

 7. First the continuity of life. There is no time; it is one time; there is no space; it is one space; there is no force; it is one force. (4341-1)

 8. Life is creative, and is the manifestation of that energy, that oneness, which may never be wholly discerned or discovered in materiality,--and yet is the basis of all motivative forces and influences in the experiences of an individual. (2012-1) 

9. In each atom, in each corpuscle, is life. Life is what you worship as God. (2968-1)

10. For man is flesh, as man is of Divine origin. And the mind of man, though it may--through the prunings, the trainings, the guidings in that direction for ages upon ages--become somewhat purified, only that portion of the mind that is divine can know, does know, that Life is the manifestation of God in motion. (1298-1)

11. God seeks all to be one with Him. And as all things were made by Him, that which is is the creative influence in every herb, every mineral, every vegetable, every individual activity, is that same force ye call God--and seeks  expression! Even as when God said: "Let there be light," and there was light. For, this is law; this is love. (294-202)

 12. Not as Moses painted a God of wrath; not as David painted a God that would fight thine enemies; but as the Christ--(who presented Him as) the Father of love, of mercy, of justice. (262-100)

13.  Truth is the unalterable, unchangeable law, ever. What is truth? Law! What is Law? Love! What is Love? God! What is God? Law and Love. These are as the cycle of truth itself...He is the same yesterday, today and forever--unalterable...I am That I am. That is true.  (3574-2)

Grapple with and meditate on the above until the next posting.

May Christ Consciousness continue to guide your journey towards the Father.
