LAW & GRACE. I

Someone asked me: Is a belief in The Christ necessary and/or compulsory for each soul? I tried to answer the question with an allegory, which I am not very good at! It went like this: 

'Incarnating in flesh is akin to the fate of students in a school located in a multi-storied building. Classes are spread over many floors. The law requires each student to pick an envelope which holds the key to what floor a course has to be taken.

The classes are taken in random order. The first could be on the ground floor and the next on the ninetieth floor.  At inception, the building had no elevator. The treks up and down the steps are burdensome for all concerned. The set-up is such that no student is ever able to skip classes. 

The ones who fail to pick the required slips are forced by circumstances to take courses, say, in the restrooms! Students are free to check out of the school at any time. However, they must continue from where they left off and also make up for classes they failed to make the grades whenever they re-enroll. 

To reduce the wear and tear on the student population, the authorities installed an elevator. There is always an attendant at all times. Use of the elevator is free but certain conditions have to be met. 

The attendant happens to be a polymath professor. He is also the overall dean of the college. He preps and assists those who use the elevator. Most students scorn and scoff at the idea that an elevator attendant holds such an exalted position.

Whether a student chooses to use the staircase or elevator, pick an envelope or not, the unfortunate curative requirement is that all lessons must be learned. One is free to exercise any option but cannot avoid the lessons ultimately!'

Jesus talked about coming to fulfill the law and not the laws. It means there must be one law, which ought to govern all human activities on the earth plane.

The idea makes sense because of the order inherent in the universe, of which our galaxy is but a speck. What is the Law? Are the requirements beyond human attainment? Did The Master not say: Whatever I do, you can do also? Is it possible to master the Law in a lifetime?

The Book of Records will explain the above metaphor; it will provide answers to the questions posed and much more. We now turn the issue to the Akashic to guide us from this point.

" I came not to take away the law, but to fulfill same" (Matt: 5:17).  1541-11

Then know, this is the whole law--to love God, eschew evil, and love thy  neighbor as thy self!  1603-1

Until individuals are in their thought, purpose and intent the law--that is constructive--they are subject to same.   

Hence those injunctions that have been so oft given "When you know the truth, the truth shall indeed set you free" (John 8:32). Free from what? That of self.  1538-1

May the light of the love the Christ be your guide in all activities.

CHRIST-CONSCIOUSNESS AND THE WORLD RELIGIONS

It is appropriate for us to consider the place of Christ-Consciousness as it relates to all the religions known to mankind from the beginning of time and forever. Put differently, does religious affiliation debar one from practicing a Christ-based spiritual life? 

In other words, should the practice of  Christ-based spiritual living be limited to membership of any religion or philosophy? Or should it be seen as the apogee of the quest--from any direction--to abide by God's Creative Forces' rules for us?

Q-What part did Jesus play in any of His reincarnations in the development of the basic teachings of Mohammedanism, Confucianism, Shintoism, Brahminism, Platonism, Judaism?

A-As has been indicated,  the entity--as an entity--influenced either directly or indirectly all those forms of philosophy  or religious thought that taught God was One..."Know, O Israel, the Lord thy God is One!' (Deuteronomy 6:4) whether this is directing one of the Confucian thought, Brahmin thought, Buddha thought, Mohammedan thought; these are as teachers or representatives...but it's God that gives the increase...

What are the  commandments? "Thou shalt have no other God before me," and "Love thy neighbor as thy self." In this is builded the whole law and gospel of every age that has said, "There is One God."  364-9

To clear up any misconception(s), let us add the Akashic's definition of the term Israel before continuing.

For those who seek are indeed Israel, and Israel indeed is all who seek; meaning not those as the children of Abraham, but of every nation, every tribe, every tongue--Israel of the Lord! That is the full meaning of Israel.  2772-1

Q-What should be understood by the statement (Genesis 49:10), "The scepter has not departed from Israel"?

A-Israel is the chosen of the Lord, and that His promise, His care, His love has not departed from  those that seek to know His way, that seek to see His face, that would draw nigh unto Him. This is the meaning, this should be the understanding to all. Those that seek are Israel. So Abraham means call; so Israel means those who seek. How obtained the supplanter the name Israel? For he wrestled with the angel, and he was face to face with the seeking to know His way.  262-28

Let there be the  study, the closer study of the promises which are made in the book, yes, the history of the Jew; yet these having failed, who is Israel?  Not the Jew, but Israel is the seeker after truth.  5377-1

We now continue with what the Book of Records has for us on the role of Christ in all religions and philosophies that have been and will ever come about on the earth plane. 

Remember, Christ Consciousness has been, from the beginning of time, on the spiritual plane. Manifestations of same on the physical plane thirty times--culminating in the attainment of it Christhood while in human body by Jesus--and the attendant establishment of a path towards God is what Christ based spiritual life is all about.

But remember, truth is truth in any language, in any clime and that which man seeks to subscribe is, namely; "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God, with all thy mind, thy body, thy soul, and thy neighbor as thy self (Luke 10:27)." The rest of philosophy, the rest of theology is only the explaining of that in individuals' lives.  5037-2 

Q-Which person, or group, today, has the nearest to the correct teachings of Jesus?

A-This would depend upon who is the judge. The teaching, the consciousness of the Christ-life is a personal thing. And hence they that are aware of His abiding presence are the nearer.

Who? They that walk with Him and do not, cannot, will not force themselves on others--even as He.  1703-36

Q-Is faith of man in Buddha or Mohammed equal in the effect on his soul to the faith in Jesus Christ?

A-Each in their respective spheres are but stepping stones to that that may awaken in the individual  the knowledge of the Son in their lives.  262-14

All religious faiths have their element of truth.  900-59   

One's religion, one's love of the fellow man, one's love of the Creator is a living thing-- and not just form only!  1564-1

The purpose, yea, the intent of religion is that peace may be to body and mind of those who embrace same.

Then the fewer definitions there be of that to which an individual is to subscribe, the the greater may be the peace and the harmony in the experience of every soul.  1467-3

In God, in the Son, in the Holy Spirit, there is no creed; for creeds are only man-made. And remember that creeds are like those things that are done as in rote. However, to some rote becomes necessary.  2420-1

The church is within yourself and not in any pope or preacher, or in any building but in self! For thy body is indeed the temple of the living God, and the Christ becomes a personal companion in mind and body; dependent upon the personality and individuality of the entity as it makes practical application of  the tenets and truths that are expressed.  5125-1

A particular church organization* is well. For it centers the mind. But don't get the idea you have the whole cheese.  3350-1

*Substitute church organization with any religion or philosophy. Response was given to a Christian seeker.

As He has given, it will ever be found that Truth--whether in this or that schism or ism or cult--is of the One source. Are there not trees of oak, of ash, of pine? There are the needs of these for meeting this or that experience.  254-87

O what crimes have been committed in the name of religion!  3344-1

Science and religion are one when their purposes are one.  5023-2

Q-Is Gnosticism the closest type of Christianity to that which is given through this source?

A-This is a parallel, and was the commonly accepted one until there began to be set rules in which there were attempts to take short cuts. And there are none in Christianity!  5749-14 

It is indeed not strange there are even in the protestant churches, Methodist, Christian, Baptist, Congregational or the what, but it is to meet the needs. What is God? All things to all men that all might know Him. Not that one is better than the other.  2072-15

Unless one is good for something, unless it is to make the experience of another appreciate the opportunity of the blessing of the spirit of truth in their activities, it must eventually come to naught. Hence not religion, not even goodness, but rather the application of not tenets but the acts and the soul of the Christ-Consciousness in the material world is to be sought.  276-6

How did thy Master work? In the church, in the synagogue, in the field, in the lakes, upon the sands and the mountains, in the temple. And did He defy those? Did He set up anything different? Did He condemn the law even of the Romans, or the Jews, or the Essenes, or the Sadducees, or  any of the cults and isms of the day? He gave, all are as One--under the law. And grudges, schisms, isms, cults, must become as naught; that thy Guide, the Way, thy Master, yea, even Christ--as manifested in Jesus of Nazareth--may be made known to thy fellow man.  254-92

We have just read what the Book of Remembrance spells out as the essence of a spiritual life. Having come this far, remain steadfast in prayer: Let Him guide you daily and every moment to maintain the arduous task of manifesting His love in thoughts, words and deeds. 

May the light of the love the Christ be your guide in all activities.

AKASHIC ON: WHY IT HAS TO BE CHRIST- BASED SPIRITUAL LIFE! II

We conclude this conversation, for the moment, with further quotes from the Book of Records. They explain in clear terms why following the tenets and practices of mans' only Master--Jesus the Christ--is the path, approved by the God the Creative Forces, to overcome karmic lessons. 

Furthermore, Christ-based spiritual living it will limit additional karmic burdens for individuals and groups on the earth plane. The Akashic information on the issue is unambiguous.

In the beginning He was the Son--made the Son--those of the Sons that went astray; and through the varying activities overcame the world through the experiences, bearing the cross in each and every experience, reaching the final cross with all power, all knowledge in having overcome the world, and of Himself accepted the Cross. Hence doing away with that often called karma, that must be met by all. The immutable law of cause and effect is, as evidenced in the world today, in the material, the mental and spiritual world; but He--in overcoming the world, the law--became the law. The law, then becomes as the school-master, or the school of training, and we who have named the Name then, are no longer under the law as law, but under mercy as in Him. 262-36

At-onement is making self's will one with he Creative Forces that may become the impelling influence in thought, in mind, that is the builder to every act of a physical, mental or material body...

The shedding of the blood in the man Jesus made for the atoning of all men, through making Himself at-onement with the law and with love. For, through love was brought the desire to make self and His brother in at-onement. Hence in the atoning or shedding of the blood comes the redemption to man, through that which may make for his--man's--at-onement.  262-45

In that the man, Jesus, became the example of the flesh, manifest in the world, and the will one with the Father, He became the first to manifest same in the material world. Thus, from man's viewpoint, becoming the only, the first, the begotten of the Father, and the example to the world, whether Jew, Gentile, or of any other religious forces. In this we find the true advocate with the Father, in that He, as man, manifest in the flesh the ability of flesh to make fleshly desires one with the will of the spirit...and in this we find He takes on all law, and a law unto Himself, for with the compliance, of even an earthly or material law, such a person is the law, and in that Jesus lived as a man, and died as man, and in that became the example to all who would approach the throne of God. 900-17

In the life, then, of Jesus, we find the oneness made manifest through the ability to overcome all of the temptations of the flesh, and the desires of same, through making the will one with the Father...Man, through the same channel, may reach that perfection, even higher than the angel, though he attend the God. 900-16

Unless each individual put away those selfish desires which arise and becomes as little children, one may never quite understand the simplicity of Christ's faith; Christ-like faith, Christ-like simplicity, Christ-like forgiveness, Christ-like love, Christ-like helpfulness to others. 1223-9

For even in Elijah or John we find the faltering, the doubting. We find no faltering, no doubting, no putting aside of the purpose in the Master Jesus. 3054-4

As the sons of God came together and saw in the earth the unspeakable conditions becoming more and more for the self-indulgence, self glorification, the ability to procreate through the very forces of their activity, we find our Lord, our Brother chose to measure up, to earn, to attain that companionship for man with the Father through the overcoming of self in the physical plane. 262-115

It was not in the separation as John, not in the running away as Elijah, not as sitting in high places as Isaiah, not as in that form of Jeremiah--mourning; not in that lording as Moses--but all things to all men! reaching them in their own plan of experience; and not with long-facedness.

For as He--He wined, He dined with the rich, He consorted with the poor, He entered the temple on state occasions; yea He slept in the field with the shepherds, yea He walked by the seashore with the throngs, He preached to those in the mount--all things; and yet ever ready to present the tenets, the truths, even in those forms of tales, yea parables, yea activities that took hold upon the lives of men and women in every walk of human experience. 1472-3

(Man) has an advocate with the Father through Him that gave Himself as a ransom. How? For, as the impulses in self arise, know those impulses have arisen in Him; yet through the ability to overcome death in the material world is His presence able to abide with thee. 524-2

We do not need to add to the above. As He, Jesus the Christ, often said: Let those who have ears hear!

May the light of the love of the Christ be your guide in all activities.

AKASHIC ON: WHY IT HAS TO BE CHRIST- BASED SPIRITUAL LIFE! I

In the early days of this blog, we generally touched on why leading a Christ-based spiritual life is the best thing for each ready and willing soul. We shall continue to update this aspect of what is shared here. Why? 

Truth is a growing thing, as infinity, as Creative Force.  1554-6

Truth is a growth. For what is true today may be tomorrow only partially so, to a developing soul!  1297-1

No finite mind has all the truth! For truth is a growing thing!  282-4 

It is now time to tap into the Akashic records to drive home the point--why Christ-based spiritual living is the only guarantee for conformity with God The Creative Forces' requirements on the earth plane.

The Christ child was born into the earth as man; one born in due time, in man's spiritual evolution, that man have a pattern of the personality of God Himself. 5758-1

Some individuals like to have the own way, irrespective of what anyone thinks. So does the mind if you train the body-mind to accept or reject certain conditions in your experience. These will never accept other suggestions unless the mental self is changed.

Thus it became necessary that God in His goodness give an example, a pattern, by which man might conduct his life, his ideals, his hopes, his fears, all of his idiosyncrasies. 5211-1

For as He thy Master, the Lord, thy Christ fulfilled the law by compliance with the same, He became the law and thus thy Savior, thy Brother, thy Christ. For in Him ye find, ye see the example that is set before thee pertaining to the natural life, the mental life, the material life, the spiritual life. Not an extremist, not a conservative--but one who met each experience in a manner in which there was never a question in His Consciousness as to its purpose, His desire and the ability to be one with the purpose of the Creative Force--God. 1662-1

As an entity, then, is the pattern of divinity in materiality, or in the earth. As man found himself out of touch with that complete consciousness of the oneness of God, it became necessary that the will of God, the Father, be made manifested, that a pattern be introduced into man's consciousness. Thus the son of man came into the earth, made in the form, the likeness of of man; with body, mind, soul. Yet the soul was the Son, the soul was the Light. 3357-2

Q- What is the significance and meaning of the words “Jesus” and “Christ” as they should be understood and applied?

A- ...Jesus is the man--the activity, the mind, the relationships that He bore to others. Yea, He was mindful of friends, He was sociable, He was loving, He was kind, He was gentle, He grew faint, He grew weak--and yet gained that strength that He has promised, in becoming the Christ, by fulfilling and overcoming the world. Ye are made strong--in body, in mind, in soul and purpose--by the power in Christ. The power then, is the Christ. The pattern is in Jesus. 2533-7

All power in Heaven, in the earth, is given to Him who overcame. Hence He is of Himself in space, in the force that impels through faith, through belief, in the individual entity. As a Spirit Entity. Hence not a body in the earth, but may come at will to him who wills to be one with, and acts in in love to make same possible. 5749-4

All power hath been given unto Him. For He alone hath overcome. 954-5

Know that even as the Christ, even as the Jesus--hath He withered the hands of those that smote Him because it was in His power, He could not be, He would not be, thy Christ, thy Savior, thy Lord! 1440-2

Christ (is) the universal consciousness of love that we see manifested in those who have forgotten self, as Jesus, give themselves that others may know the truth. 1376-1

There has also come a teacher who was bold enough to declare himself as the son of the Living God, he set no rules of appetite. He set no rules of ethics, other than “As ye would that men should do to you, do even so to them” (Mathew 7:12), and to know “Inasmuch as ye do it unto the least of these, thy brethren, ye do it unto thy Maker” (Mathew 25:40), He declared that the kingdom of heaven is within each individual entity's consciousness, to be attained, to be aware of--through meditating upon the fact that God is the Father of every soul. 357-13

He came into the earth that we, as soul entities, might know ourselves to be ourselves, and yet one with Him; as He, the Master, the Christ, knew Himself and yet one with the Father. 3003-1

Q- Please explain how we may distinguish between the terms, especially pronouns, referring to the personality Jesus and God as used in this information, and how we may clarify this in terms we use in our lessons.

A- As their activities and personalities are one, in the activities of men often the pronoun used becomes confusing. Follow rather closely in that which has been given. It is used the same as He gave; Him refers to the Father, He to the Son...Those that would prefer good English, Him is rather inclusive while He is definite--or the one Son.  262-33

Pray and meditate on the the above. Remember:

For prayer is supplication for direction, for understanding. Meditation is listening to the Divine within.  1861-19

BALANCING WORK AND REST. IV

We have come to the final instalment of the review of what has been shared so far. We hope you  feel refreshed. 

PRINCIPLES OF CHRIST-BASED SPIRITUAL LIVING. I

Today we have to step away from quoting and analyzing information registered on the skein of time The Book of Remembrance that deal with the creation of the universe and souls. We will provide you some guidelines on what Christ-Based spiritual living entails...Read moreↆ

 PRINCIPLES OF CHRIST-BASED SPIRITUAL LIVING. II

At times, one is so used to something that a reminder is needed to reiterate the obvious. Christ-Based spiritual living, as an activity on the physical realm, needs this too.

The talk about Christ, ad infinitum on this blog, deals mainly with the Christ Consciousness. You see, Jesus was the Man and Christ is the Consciousness. Jesus, the Man, was crucified, He died and was buried. Christ has been Christ in all ages!...Read moreↆ

 PRINCIPLES OF CHRIST-BASED SPIRITUAL LIVING. III

We purposely left unasked an important question till this moment. Why are you interested in leading a spiritual life? Many esoteric and religious organizations advertise their presence with catchy headlines. One of such by the former is thoughts are things which you can harness--and, may we add, for what purposes?...Read moreↆ

BALANCING WORK AND REST. III

This review encompasses the seven posts on why man is in flesh. They detail the original sin and correct misconceptions about the first appearance of humans on earth. The Book of Remembrance has so much information of this subject that snippets shall be added when appropriate throughout the sharing on this site.

WHY ARE WE IN FLESH? I

So much information in the last post. Not in terms of the number of words but the soul-stirring disclosures from The Book of Remembrance. We shall strive not to delve into the practice of vilification to drive home the facts obtained from the Book of Remembrance.

The Sacred Historical account is loaded with answers - directly and inferentially. Furthermore, it  resolves many inconsistencies found in the various profane accounts and theories of how the universe came into being...  Read moreↆ

WHY ARE WE IN FLESH? III

Today, we shall examine and show how elements of the Akashic account of creation are reflected in virtually all human endeavors to account for our appearance on the earth plane. 
  These enterprises have different classifications and nomenclature. They range from the so-called myths through religious dogmas to scientific postulations facts...Read moreↆ

 

WHY ARE WE IN FLESH ? IV

The various profane accounts and theories of creation notwithstanding, it is certain that God willed the universe into existence. What was His intention in creating souls?

The entity was among those who were the THOUGHT PROJECTIONS...with those various things that Thought Forms had so indulged in as to separate the purpose of God's creation of man as man – not as animal. (2072-8)

In the beginning, when The One Moved, God's will manifested in the coming into being of His thought forms... Read moreↆ 

WHY ARE WE IN FLESH? V

We need to expend considerable energy and time to grasp why man is in flesh. This the linchpin of a successful spiritual life. More so Christ based. 
  Excerpts from the Akashic are generally holistic in nature. Meanwhile, we are ingrained with three-dimension logic. We feel a disconnect. The conflict can be frustrating...Read moreↆ

WHY ARE WE IN FLESH? VI

In our last discussion, the status of Amilius as the first creation of The One was established. Their joint operation in the creation of the universe, including the earth plane, and establishment of spiritual and natural laws was also noted or alluded to. 

They collaborated to create all souls in one fell swoop. No souls were created after the first and only time souls were willed into existence produced. By the way, there are other planes necessary for the evolution of souls in the journey back to the Creator...Read moreↆ 

WHY ARE WE IN FLESH? VII

After God's projection of Amilius into being, The One and His first creation went about co-creating other aspects of God's master plan for the universe. As we have seen from imprints on the Book of Remembrance, the process spanned periods that are not expressible. 

As such, any account of creation that calculates the period it took in human terms should be treated as symbolic. Creation of souls was towards the end of the blueprint. The Akashic tells us that the willing into existence of souls was for the dual purpose of companionship and  continuous co-creating...Read moreↆ
