Easter Unveiled

/ / 2 Comments

“Praise God from whom all blessings flow.” This affirmation from the Christian Doxology perfectly expresses our right-minded focus this Easter season. Let us all count our blessings, even in the midst of personal and planetary cleansings. Remember, out of crucifixion comes resurrection; they are two sides of one coin.

“All things work together for good for those who love God.” (Rom. 8:28) This Easter, dwell not on the crucifixion of this mortal world, but on the resurrection into I Am consciousness and demonstration.

The following links are to channelings, articles, meditations and podcasts on Motah Chronicles blog that address the metaphysical understanding of the Easter drama. They will help you reaffirm the eternal truths as patterned by Sananda as Christ Jesus of Nazareth. Peace be unto you, now and always. — Phillel

Jesus’ Last Words on the Cross

/ / 1 Comment

Channeled via Nada-Yolanda

 

IN THE CRUCIFIXION–RESURRECTION CEREMONY that I demonstrated as Jesus the Christ of Nazareth, I proved unto you that the balance between the mortal and the immortal is extremely delicate, and at all times it must be like a seesaw that goes back and forth between the mortal and the immortal expression; though you may be anchored well in the light; though you may have a cosmic mission of tremendous proportions, such as my mission in that lifetime was to set an entire pattern for an entire race going from third into fourth dimensional frequency. . . .

But I remind you of the example set upon the cross in order to demonstrate the resurrection of the light body. . . . Upon the cross I spoke many words that give you this clue as to the reason why the ceremony of crucifixion–resurrection of the light body is a balancing between third and fourth dimensional frequencies. Never was I totally in one nor was I totally in the other until Iwas able to demonstrate the resurrection fully. The resurrection demonstrated the ascension. The ascension then must demonstrate the redescent, in the seventh initiation.

But since mankind is going through the sixth initiation, or the crucifixion–resurrection of his own evolutionary body and frequency, we speak now of the example or the pattern that was sent forth on that one life span or stream that gave the pattern by which you could follow certain rules and understandings of that experience.

 

“This Day I Will See You in Paradise”

I spoke unto the two who were beside me on that cross in Golgotha and said, “This day I will see you in paradise.” It is the conscious awareness of the destiny of all who will seek Spirit to go beyond, to live immortally. Yet, I did not say to them, “You are in paradise.” Nor did I say I was in paradise. For I was upon the cross, as they were upon their crosses, crossing out the physical, waiting for the resurrection of the spirit, if the flesh and the spirit together accepted the higher force, the life immortal. This was done by one but not by the other.

So therefore we show again we have a choice, and we must give each one a choice. Even though two men go through the same experience, one will make one choice and one will make another. The free will of both is to be respected and to be allowed. For none are to be left out in the eternal ongoing, though one may take a great deal longer to arrive there than the other.

I said unto the one who accepted the demonstration, “This day I will see you in paradise.” But to the other I did not say, “You never will see paradise.” So therefore the conscious realization of the Christed being who is in the physical agony of his own body and his own crucifixion is to know that within that day or period or time he may move on to his immortal realization.

But I was not saying the physical did not count and the physical was not having the experience it was having. This applies to your own physical ailments, to your own mortal yearnings and disappointments, to your own unhappy relationships and disappointments of the worldly way in which you are living.

So, within that worldly way, if you will accept the higher teachings and the truth and will work in a spiritual manner, in that day and in that age and in that period you will see the results of the higher teachings, even though you are not experiencing them at that very moment and the body, the mind and the soul are in torment.

For the soul is one of the most important aspects to be considered in this crucifixion–resurrection. In many cases the souls of the people who are concerned must go through the karma and the cleansing more definitely than even the body. If the bodies are not suffering in some cases upon the Earth at this time, the souls are in torment or are having experiences that need reminding of the resurrection of the spirit through the soul experience.

This involves the astral planes, and the workers who are on the astral contacting those upon the Earth through various means and manners, including possession, obsession and other forms of communication, be they good or bad for the individual. It is part of the balancing, it is part of the growing, it is part of the cleansing from the crucifixion of the mortal world, the three-dimensional physical mortality, into the fourth dimensional immortality of the light body and spiritual consciousness.

 

“I Thirst”

I spoke again and said, “I thirst.” No immortal being in his light body suffers from the thirst and the pain and the anguish of the physical. By speaking these words, I said unto all men that in the agony of your crucifixion, your physical body will thirst, will hurt, will know disappointment, will know pain, will know the broken bone, will know the sword in the side, will know many, many things. The thorns upon your brow will be pressed down greatly into your conscious awareness.

This is no denial of fact. This is reality on that plane of action. For if I did not become aware of the physical and did not know that the body in which I was residing had this pain and this thirst, I could not have spoken thus. Yet, I did not drink of anything offered unto me, for I thirsted more for the Spirit at that moment than I thirsted for the physical, or the physical thirsted for its solace.

So, you must also become aware, in your physical pain, mental anguish, soul yearnings, that the thirst you feel is twofold and balanced. The thirst you feel is for some sort of comfort on that particular level where you are being crucified. But the thirst you really seek or the nourishment or the comfort you really seek is of the Spirit.

 

“Unto This Mission Was I Born”

It is there where I spoke again and said, “Father, unto this mission was I born, for this purpose did I come.”* This was the cry upon the cross. This is the cry for every man to speak in his crucifixion and resurrection of the light body. For this purpose did he come into physical incarnation: to cross out his physical yearnings, to cross out his physical appetites, to cross out his physical needs, in order to see the higher satisfactions, the higher foods, the higher waters of Spirit, to feed the spiritual body.

Yet, it is again a balance between the physical and the spiritual, the mortal and the immortal. For both are hungry and thirsty, and it is a matter of making a decision at the point of your crucifixion. Which will you give more power to at that moment, the spiritual or the physical? Had I given more attention unto the pain and the thirst of my physical body, I would not have been able to demonstrate the resurrection of the light body.

My concentration at that particular moment in time had to be on the thirst for God consciousness, the thirst for God realization, the thirst for my Father, my I Am Self to pour through me, rather than for man to pour waters upon my aching wounds and my dried-out body upon the cross. This must ever be the decision you make, the denials and the affirmations, the discernments you make between the physical and the spiritual, between the mortal needs and the immortal expression of the light body.

* From the ancient manuscript called the Peshitta, the authorized Bible of the Church of the East, George M. Lamsa renders the translation of Matthew 27:46 as: “My God, my God, for this I was spared!” Or, “This was my destiny.”

 

“Woman, Behold Your Son”

Finally, I also was able to recognize my responsibilities, and said unto John and Mary, “Woman, behold your son.” Man, disciple, friend, take care of this, who was and is my last and final physical and mortal responsibility upon the Earth planet.

At that moment in time upon the cross, [I recognized] that although I would resurrect in the light body, my responsibility to Earthly and mortal relationships and physical beings had to be transferred to Earthly mortal physical beings and not be my responsibility when I am in the light body, when I am in the total resurrected Self as I demonstrated following the crucifixion.

This again is the grave difficulty that all who are upon the cross of their own crucifixion–resurrection ceremony at this time must face. For there are too few of those going through the ceremony of the crucifixion–resurrection ceremony on Earth who are willing to give up their mortal responsibilities to children, husbands, wives, lovers, friends, businesses and so forth. They see them as their responsibilities. They feel karmic attachments to these mortal physical beings and areas of interest, and are unwilling to rescind and to turn over that which they have gathered unto their souls to others who are capable and willing to carry that further burden, responsibility and debt into the realm of the mortal.

This is very wide in implication. It is not to be understood, at this point, that everyone who comes into light consciousness must leave physically every relationship, every physical responsibility to business and to his own upkeep and care. For that is not what is intended here at all. It is the conscious burden or the sole responsibility that one takes upon himself and cannot go on into a spiritual mission because he feels that no one else, nothing else, will carry that burden, that responsibility or that karma for him; whereas there are many who are willing and able to carry forth that mission or to share that burden or to act independently of his particular function and aspect so that it is mutually carried.

So, this is not a treatise to say that all who come into the light body will throw over all physical jobs, livelihoods and responsibilities of a mortal nature. It is a balancing-out of that which is important and may hold you to the physical consciousness, emotional relationships and jobs, and from going on into your spiritual realizations.

 

“Unto Thee I Commend My Spirit”

When I spoke and said, “At last, Father, unto Thee I commend my spirit,” it was because from the physical I was able then to turn every atom of being into the spiritual consciousness and to release my body; which is the last responsibility of mortal man upon the Earth.

So, the final act was the responsibility of my relationships and karma. Mary is my soul counterpart [twin soul] and therefore my very intimate and personal responsibility on any plane on which we both are operating at the same time. And one’s own body is the last and final responsibility to the conscious mortal being. When the individual is ready to release every atom of his being to the spirit within for reevaluation, reconstitution, rehabilitation and transformation, then he is ready for the resurrection.

Though that may take several days, several weeks, several years, several lifetimes, it is still the same process inwardly, mentally, emotionally, physically. For spiritually we are in God’s keeping or Spirit’s keeping on all those levels: physical, mental and emotional.

There is no other power but God or Spirit. Therefore, there is no power of the mind, there is no power of the body, there is no power of the emotions or the astral levels or the past karma, that binds you. By releasing each one of these areas in its own particular place and time, you release your conscious responsibility to others, to the world itself and to your own physical incarnation, in the steps that are appropriate in the time that is appropriate for you on whatever levels you are being made aware at that time: physical, mental or emotional.

You cannot do it all at once, and would be in grave imbalance if you tried to do it all at once. So, be very circumspect, be very cautious, be very discerning when you do release each of these areas to your spiritual Self. But know that in releasing each of these areas consciously and dedicatedly, you then step into the tomb.

In the tomb of darkness, in the tomb of that period of so-called death, you are in a state of conscious rapport, dedication and faithfulness to the Spirit that shall do the work within those darkened periods, within that darkened area, within that blankness, and shall write upon that blankness the whole new life, the whole new body, the whole new responsibilities, the whole new man of light, of truth, of resurrection.

When this falls upon the ears and the eyes of one’s disciples, friends, fellowmen, as the Holy Spirit fell upon the ears and the eyes of the disciples who were forewarned of this experience, then the knowledge is spread, is amplified and grows. But until that time it is not accepted, it is not well received, it is not well grounded in the Earth or in the dimension on which this experience is to occur.

So, if you have rebuff, if you have disbelief, if you have disagreement about the process of the crucifixion–resurrection ceremony, then you must realize it is still part and parcel of the entire initiation. It is not for you then to reexamine the two areas where you have to make your demonstration, those two areas being the mortal and the immortal bodies. For if you dwell too much upon the mortal body, you will begin to feel the anguish, the thirst, the regrets and the sorrow.

But there was no sorrow, there was no pain, there was no anguish that could not be superseded by the realization that the immortal aspect, the light body, the resurrection, was shortly to follow, according to Spirit’s will. For that had been predestined, that had been forewarned, that had been accepted.

So, the dwelling consciousness must at that point be upon that which is to come, not that which is the present: the suffering, the crossing-out, the denial. This is the pattern, this is the way, this is the function for all to follow. Whatever area you are experiencing in or expressing, let this be the example through which you can follow and apply this knowledge.

For those who fail at the crucifixion–resurrection ceremony are those who fall back into mortal consciousness and deny unto themselves the fact that the resurrection is the other side of the coin of the crucifixion they are going through. It is hand in glove. The two may not be separated. They are one experience.

As long as it takes you to have this realization, that’s how long it will take you as a soul to go through the crucifixion–resurrection ceremony. As stated before, it may be one or more lifetimes, it may be one or more years. But that is not the point. The important point to express here is that as you recognize the crucifixion, you are expecting the resurrection.

The resurrection is in the divine pattern for all men — as I lived it and demonstrated it through my life’s incarnation known as Jesus of Nazareth, the Christ Messiah of the Jews — who carry the truth, who know the law and who are prepared to live the right way. Amen. So be it in truth.

Symbols of Easter

University of Life Archives

 

In 2025, Palm Sunday is April 13th; Passover is April 13th; Good Friday is April 18th; Easter Sunday is April 20th.

 

IN THESE LATTER DAYS prior to the Second Coming, we are in a transition between two historic stages of man’s spiritual evolution on planet Earth: we are crossing from the Piscean Age into the New Age of Aquarius. It is as though we and the race of man collectively have come to the city gate of Jerusalem as Christ Jesus did at Passover, just before his resurrection.

Jerusalem means “habitation or foundation of peace.” It is the “city of peace.” Also, Jerusalem is known as the “city of David”; so, we also can think of Jerusalem as the city or dwelling place of love. As we rend fully the seventh veil from our consciousness, we are moving into the Aquarian Age, which is characterized by the Seventh Ray qualities of divine peace and love. We are accepting the Christ vibration of peace and love on the planet. We are symbolically but quite literally entering Jerusalem, the time and the place of peace and love.

As the avant-garde for the race of man, we as light workers in this Easter cycle must example how to work with peace and love, the new standard for the Aquarian Age. Many ancient myths and symbols of cultures all around the world, before and after Christ, correlate with present-day symbols of Easter: tales of death and rebirth, palm fronds, unleavened bread, crowns and crosses. They are not mere fables and tokens. They portray, just as Christ Jesus exampled, spiritual events of universal patterns that really are experienced when one rises up out of mortal consciousness and material life into spiritual consciousness and light-body form.

In channelings through Nada-Yolanda, Sananda often has reminded us that we are experiencing monumental changes individually and planetarily. In the Latter Days, the transformations are as dramatic as when Jesus resurrected into his light form and ascended. Everyone is affected mentally, emotionally and physically. Unlike when he incarnated as Jesus, Sananda is not speaking to us now in parables, but in real terms.

So, the time is upon us to translate the myths, stories and symbols of Easter into physically tangible demonstrations. The time is nigh for the 144,000 light servers to anchor higher consciousness and to manifest divine peace and love in life. Now is the time for each of us to follow the example of Christ and enter Jerusalem.

 

Enter Jerusalem

Entering the Aquarian Age of peace and love is like entering Jerusalem. The citizens of Jerusalem celebrated the Messiah entering their city for Passover. We, too, should rejoice at the coming of the spiritual experiences we will have in this Easter cycle that will help us anchor Christ consciousness on Earth. Our life up to this point has been long and arduous. But we have reached the city or the phase of peace. We have rent every veil placed before man’s consciousness of his knowing, believing and beginning to live according to truth and spiritual principles. Reaching and entering the New Age of Aquarius — the gate of the city, so to speak — is a great accomplishment for all of us. We should be happy and give thanks.

The citizens of Jerusalem took palm branches and went out to meet Jesus. Since ancient times, the palm branch has been a symbol of victory. Entering the New Age is a victory of the light. But the palm frond also has a deeper metaphysical interpretation. Just as the Christ entered the gate to the city of peace and love amid palm fronds, the energies and inspirations of our Christ Self enter through the gate or crown chakra at the top of our head.

In the Far East, the thousand-petaled lotus represents the opening of the crown chakra. In the Middle East, the crown of a palm tree, with it’s spray of fronds shooting up and out, indicates the same. Therefore, while in meditation, one might receive a vision of a palm tree whose fronds are completely open at the top. Or one might see streamers of light coming out of the top of one’s head, like palm fronds at the top of a palm tree. These images represent the opening of the crown chakra, preparing one for a new level of integration with the I Am Self.

In this Easter cycle, we all should expect the opening of our crown chakra for greater oneness with our I Am Self. In the Book of Revelation, John saw a vision of the servants of God after the Second Coming. They were too numerous to count and they were from every nation, tribe, race and language. All of them were holding palm branches in their hands. This scene indicates not only that they were victorious, but that they mastered the ability of maintaining balance while their crown chakras were open for anchoring the second coming of their own Christ Selves.

 

The Crown

The crown is another symbol of Easter. During Jesus’ sentencing to be crucified, a crown of thorns was placed on his head. Throughout history, a crown has represented the bearer’s relationship to what is above or divine. It marked the integration of the celestial to the terrestrial. Additionally, the crown’s circular shape signified perfection and eternity. So, unlike royal crowns of gold and jewels which represent divine power and attributes, the crown of thorns epitomizes mortal error and resistance. Hatred, greed, lies, jealousy and the like are the thorns of mortal consciousness that crowned the head of Christ, placed on him by society.

Our entrance now into the cycle of peace and love should be like Jesus’ entrance into Jerusalem. He did not enter Jerusalem with a crown of thorns on his head. Neither should we enter Aquarius with a crown of thorns on our heads. Although Jesus was constantly challenged by others, he never denied the truth of his being. As a child of God, he held to the perfection as God had created him. He would accept no lesser conception of himself. So must we.

We should never feel as though we are inadequate to demonstrating peace and love in any of the experiences we will face in these Latter Days. Like Jesus, we may expect to run into the negative resistance and false judgments of others. So, we can expect to have a crown of thorns placed on our heads. But what we must guard against is accepting those error thoughts, feelings and judgments. By agreeing that false statements about our character are true when they are not, we place the crown of thorns on our own heads.

Unless we take the crown of thorns off our head, our high Self, Spirit and the Hierarchy cannot place the true crown of Spirit on us. Yolanda has said that in her early spiritual development, a crown in her dreams, visions and meditations represented reaching a higher level of achievement, another phase or an initiation into the next progressive level of development. Later on, however, the crown was converted from something symbolic into a literal, functioning tool within her being. It represented her crown chakra, which became activated to do Spirit’s will and work on Earth.

Since ancient times in Rome, Egypt, Mexico and many other places, crowns were associated with the sun, especially its rays. The rays of the Elohim, the seven flames of God, descending into one’s mortal being is the true meaning of these ancient symbols of a crown associated with the rays of the sun. They depict God, by way of the rays of life, using Its children as instruments for divine purposes.

The experiences of Yolanda and many others of us could not have happened had we imposed a crown of thorns on ourselves by thinking we could not possibly be worthy of interacting in such wonderful and constructive ways with Spirit. Mortal attitudes that limit our self-worth not only constrict the inflow of Spirit through our crown chakra, but they cause our spiritual development to atrophy. Our crown center and mind, the medium between the mortal self and the high Self, must remain unobstructed. We must enter the New Age with the true crown God created within us functioning perfectly. For we won’t necessarily know the time or the situation when Spirit will want to pour divine light and love through us to the world.

We give thanks to Spirit that we have reached this new phase of divine peace and love. Before we go any further, let us reassess our consciousness to see whether we are wearing a crown of thorns. If we are, let us cast it aside. We will enter the Aquarian Age with the palms of our crown chakra open. To our Christ Self we say: “Hosanna, I Am Self! Blessed are you who come in the name of the Lord. Hosanna in the highest!”

 

Crucifixion & Resurrection

Easter Sunday, the day of resurrection, marks the culmination of the symbols of Easter. For us and the race of man it means greater spiritual manifestation and service to our Father-Mother God. In our review of the symbols of Easter, let us see how we can relate them to our next step of resurrecting into the light.

In this transition of the Latter Days, we are being guided gradually to shift our emphasis away from the cleansings and purifications characteristic of the sixth step, or Sixth Ray, and towards accepting our resurrection, including the ascension that is the seventh step, or Seventh Ray, for the Age of Aquarius now dawning.

The seventh step of peace and love will require us to focus more on the light and less on the darkness. Our priorities will have to be reassigned. The bulk of our time and energy will be on the construction of divine peace rather than on the destruction of error; on crystallizing the light rather than decrystallizing mistakes; on actively materializing the love of God rather than resisting evil.

In the Easter cycle, we have a golden opportunity to set the proper tone by becoming more peaceful and loving towards ourselves and others. As light workers, we are to be the leavening by which all are raised into the light. Thoughts, desires and actions of peace and love are the leavening. But in order for us to be the leaven and embody peace and love, we will have to transfer our consciousness away from being mesmerized by the remaining shortcomings within ourselves and the inevitable instances of resistance to love and light we read and hear about going on in the world. To accomplish this we will have to think of ourselves as not being on the cross of personal cleansings and crucifixions that have been so prevalent in our lives.

As the vanguard for the race of man, we must lead by example. Easter is our time to come down off the cross. Only then can we be the kind of vessel through which Spirit and the Hierarchy can implant the new Christ matrix of peace, love, cooperation and coordination that we are to hold before the Second Coming.

As recorded in the writings of a Christian living in the fourth century A.D., in Sir James Frazer’s The Golden Bough, the authenticity of Jesus’ resurrection after being crucified was anything but settled. Throughout Western Asia and the Mediterranean there were whole populations who for centuries before the time of Christ celebrated the death and resurrection of their deities around Easter time.

He was called Osiris in Egypt; Tammuz in Babylonia; Adonis in Greece, Syria and Cyprus; and Attis in Phrygia, now central Turkey, just to name a few. Those people thought that the relatively recent story of Jesus’ death and resurrection was just a cheap imitation of theirs. A heated controversy ensued over whose deity was the original and, thus, the true one.

Few realized back then that Jesus actually demonstrated that the basic idea of their myths and legends of resurrection was true. Today, few people on Earth realize that the Easter story is their personal story. It is the story not of a god but of man reevolving out of mortal life into immortal life. By rising above the physical, rising above the soul and resurrecting into the light body, Jesus exampled that this is the pattern for everyone.

This Easter, let us project yet again to all people, as we have done for so many years, that the myth of death and resurrection is no myth. It is based on spiritual reality. The story of Easter is not about the achievement of God or a god. It is about man’s ability to resurrect out of every test and crucifixion through the presence and operation of Spirit within each of us. Taking this one step further, we who are working consciously with the hierarchal plan and program must believe that we are resurrecting into the New Age.

At first glance, it may seem as though little has changed; that there is just as much violence in the world as ever. What we are seeing are the continuing reverberations to the light anchored since the beginning of the Latter Days. Individually, we too are still carrying the residue of the struggles, torments, tests and challenges of this transition period. We’re still balancing out.

But upon closer inspection, can we truly say that past challenges are controlling our lives as vigorously now as they were in prior years? Aren’t our spiritual convictions stronger? Aren’t we using spiritual principles to direct our lives more than ever before? Monitoring the race of man collectively, the Hierarchy has determined that we are passing into the seventh step of peace and love, the hallmarks of Aquarius.

 

Passover

The occurrence of Jesus’ resurrection at the time of Passover dramatically brought together the feast day’s celebration of the Israelites’ freedom from Egyptian bondage with his demonstration of mankind’s freedom from the bondage of physical existence.

At Passover, unleavened bread is used as a symbol of freedom. In metaphysical terms, we can liken it to the loosening of soul knots that occurred during the cleansing phase, which has helped us to be free of them. At Pentecost [celebrated on the fiftieth day after Passover], otherwise known as the Feast of Weeks, two loaves of leavened bread are prepared as the firstfruits offering of the harvest. In this Easter cycle, as we pass into manifesting the firstfruits of peace and love, we should now begin to replace the symbol of freedom from error, unleavened bread, with the symbol of spiritual action and manifestation, leavened bread.

In his Metaphysical Bible Dictionary Charles Fillmore, cofounder of Unity School of Christianity, defined what leaven signifies: “When the mind is raised up through affirmations of God’s omnipresent substance and life, we are not only fed but there is a surplus. . . . It is not the outward demonstration that counts, but the increase of substance in mind and body that always follows the faithful application of the divine law. Whatever line of thought is received into consciousness goes on working until it is rooted out by another line of thinking . . . [which then] manifests fully in the outer life.”

The line of thinking we want to root out is thinking predominantly in terms of crucifixions, personal sufferings and torments, cleansings of errors and the elimination of evil. The line of thinking we want to replace it with is that of the seventh step: peace and love. The Hierarchy has told us that in these end times we must measure all our actions in terms of the First Ray (divine will and divine law) and the Seventh Ray (divine love and peace). We must work for cooperation and coordination. Divine peace and love are the spiritual ideals we must employ to rend fully the seventh veil from man’s consciousness. These qualities we now embrace to become the leaven within mass consciousness for Christ’s Second Coming.

 

The Cross

The cross is probably the most famous symbol of Easter. In the religious history of man, various forms of crosses have been important to cultures the world over. For example, for ancient Egyptians, the ankh or ansate cross, with a loop at the top, was the symbol of earthly life as well as of life after death. Actually, the ankh predates Earth history. The Saturnian Council or Hierarchal Board, headquartered on Saturn, exercises it as a symbol for utilizing the power of God’s creative energy.

In Mesopotamia, the Greek or quadrate cross, with four equal arms, is the sign for heaven. It is also the symbol for the Fourth Ray of Life, representing the cosmic idea “as above, so below”; as in heaven, so on Earth. Certain ancient depictions of the cross in Mexico symbolize world unity. One drawing from an ancient civilization in Peru shows a silhouette of a man of light; his arms outstretched, crowned by a sun shooting out its rays. At the intersection of two lines forming a cross is his heart.

To many Christians, the cross represents the crucifixion and death of Jesus. To others, it conveys a more positive symbol of salvation. Over the years, we have projected out the thought to take Jesus off the cross, to stop thinking in terms of the mortal suffering and torments of Jesus. Instead, focus on the positive result of crossing out error, which is resurrecting into spiritual life as an eternal child of God.

This Easter, it is time that we take ourselves off the cross, take the thought of crucifixion out of our consciousness. The cycle of revealing and crucifying errors within ourselves and humanity is now being eclipsed by the resurrection and ascendancy of the Seventh Ray principles of divine love and peace.

As with the symbol of the Easter lily, our resurrection is in full bloom. At this very moment, we are being prepared for our next step in anchoring the Christ vibration for Earth. As we see and be the peace and love of the Seventh Ray, so must it be for all on Earth.

Purification Through Demonstration

/ / 7 Comments

PURIFICATION THROUGH DEMONSTRATION: As we follow through with the demonstration of our Christ Self in action, we achieve, in turn, greater purification of our soul. As we purify our mortal expression, we become, in turn, pure channels to demonstrate yet greater talents of the I Am.

In our meditations this week, let us focus our efforts on understanding purification or transmutation of the mortal self through demonstration of the Christ Self within each of us. In these Latter Days, demonstration and purification go hand in hand. For each new purifying influx of energy leads to new I Am demonstrations. Each cycle is a new step in Sananda’s redescent in his light body for the Second Coming. Also, we are anchoring greater light on the planet in order to hold its force field steady during periods of planetary cleansing and transmutation.

How do we go about doing this work? How do we prepare ourselves for greater light-body demonstrations? How do we make the most of an influx of spiritual energies, so as to achieve these goals?

 

As We Give, So We Receive

In a meditation on New Year’s Eve in 1987, my high Self gave me an important key. Since the year was coming to a close, I had been evaluating all that I had accomplished in 1987, and had been searching for clues by which to guide my efforts in the new year. As my light body overshadowed me and expanded my thinking, I received the phrase “purification through demonstration.”

“Wait a minute,” you might say. “We can only achieve spiritual demonstrations through maintaining a high level of purification.” Yes, this is true. But there is also another angle to spiritual demonstration that works for our self-purification as well; that is, in the very act of demonstrating, in the performing of our I Am talents externally, we automatically are changed, purified, transformed, brought into higher states of consciousness.

Here is another way of putting it, which I am sure you are familiar with: As we heal others, we too are healed; as we help bring enlightenment to others, we too are enlightened. As we give, so we receive.

What is the key here? Willingness. Willingness to go out on a limb, to open up to the I Am Self, to surrender to the cosmic, creative force of Spirit, to take that first step of self-sacrifice of our personal will to the will of God. Once we make that conscious effort, we open up the channels of I Am demonstration. In turn, these channels of demonstration provide the very means by which we reach deep into ourselves to transmute the mortal aspects of our being — mind, body and soul.

Let’s look at an example of this process. Over the past year, virtually all of us have been faced with difficult challenges, both personal and planetary. The true challenge, as we all know, lies in our ability to demonstrate cosmic principles, to put high Self love into action, in the face of the horrendous cleansings that beset our lives on Earth as we raise our planet into the fourth dimension.

Now, at the same time, the Hierarchy has challenged us this past year to take on the mantle of greater responsibility as I Am Nation citizens; to show greater willingness, and less resistance, to being the high Self in action; to take more initiative in coordinating with them to anchor the Second Coming program. In other words, they have asked us to grow up spiritually, to put away the things of our spiritual childhood and to express the maturity of our Christ demonstration.

In these ways I too have been challenged. Yet, in my self-evaluation on New Year’s Eve, I realized that my primary challenges this past year did not come in the form of personal crises, or in meditations of self-contemplation wherein I was grappling internally with my soul record, seeking to transmute it. Rather, my challenges were presented to me in the form of opportunities for public outreach and teaching. Through a series of media interviews, seminars and lectures, Spirit placed me in situations where I was constantly being challenged to express my I Am Self in a very overt, publicly demonstrable way.

For instance, in interviews, time after time I fielded questions covering the entire gamut of the spiritual program, thus challenging me at every moment to maintain a high state of alertness and intunement, and to adhere to spiritual wisdom in my responses. I dealt with the receptive and the skeptical alike. I was even challenged to hold the focus of light and love in the face of mean and malicious attacks from persons who were either hysterical or totally closed off to the spiritual message. Over and over again I was challenged by Spirit to sacrifice my personal desires and needs, so that Spirit’s desires and needs could be channeled through me to serve the highest good of all people involved.

Actually, over a period of several months I was so busy that I had basically no time at all for periods of spiritual retreat, where I could spend time in study, meditation or self-examination. I was on the go continually, hardly able to catch my breath from one engagement to the next.

After a while, to my delight, I began to notice a by-product of all this public activity. I was being transformed! I could not open up to the high Self demonstration, or channel the energy broadcasts and messages of etheric and celestial masters, without myself being changed, purified, transmuted in the process. My soul and personality were being cleansed, my weaknesses and fears were being decrystallized, and the strengths and talents of my I Am were being anchored to a higher degree than ever before.

I had asked only to serve Spirit’s will. I had not sought any personal gratification or glory or reward. Yet, it is cosmic law that as we commit our lives to Spirit, we can’t help but receive of the full bounty of our Sonship with God. Again, as we give, so we receive.

This is what is meant by purification through demonstration: Through demonstration, or through action, Spirit works purification in our lives. But we must be willing to take that first step towards demonstration, to express love wherever we are.

 

Selfless Service

How does this become relevant to all of us of this meditation network right now? In these Latter Days, as we experience more intense cycles of spiritual influx, the energies will stimulate further waves of purification of mind, body and soul amongst all on Earth.

The purpose of this cleansing, of course, is to prepare us for a new magnitude of light-body demonstration. The spiritual masters, as well as our own high Selves, stand ready now to burst through the veil of our mortal consciousness. Spirit has prepared the demonstrations and is seeking the outlets, the grounding rods, the light workers on Earth who are willing to commit themselves to this responsibility. It is time to act, to put love into action through selfless service.

Where will you serve? Ask Spirit. What will you be called upon to demonstrate? Have faith that Spirit will reveal to you all you need to know, and at the time you need to know it.

We are joined with the Hierarchy, as coworkers, to bring about the transmutation of the planet and the full rending of the seventh veil. Our next step in this cycle is to demonstrate, to put into practice, all we have been prepared and purified to do. This doesn’t mean necessarily that we will be called upon to give lectures or seminars or to perform our spiritual talents before masses of people. For our special service may be behind the scenes, seeding the mass consciousness in so many silent ways, or holding the force field for others who require our physical and spiritual support in order to step forth in their public functions.

But it does mean that we are to take a new initiative to demonstrate our Christ Self and to unify completely with the Christ demonstrations of all others.

In my self-evaluation on New Year’s Eve, 1987, I saw clearly that the key to the further purification of my own soul lies in giving myself selflessly to serve the will and the needs of Spirit, who serves all equally. I realized that it was at those times when I was putting selfless love into action, that I felt the highest intunement with my spiritual Self, that I experienced the greatest harmony with the universe all around me. Yes, when I let go completely and let God work through me, without thought of reward, I achieved my greatest level of service to mankind; I was reaching my true potential as a Christ being.

Through such demonstration, we all will be purified. As we are purified, our demonstrations are greater, more effective, have more lasting impact for the program.

The hierarchal call to action, to be love in action, is there, awaiting our response. We each are being given the opportunity to serve more fully at this critical time in the transmutation of man. Let’s take up this call to demonstrate. Our I Am Self demonstrations, in turn, will pave the way for millions of souls who are seeking avenues — spiritual examples — to follow in order to purify themselves for the Second Coming. Demonstrating our divine love in action now, will show man of Earth the way of purification into the light.

Bonding with El Morya

/ / 1 Comment

December 19, 2024. DREAM. At I Am Nation headquarters in Davie, Florida, El Morya/Mark and I, along with several other staff members, walked to the Executive Building to attend the weekly public meditation meeting. It was a week before Christmas, and it was my turn to lead the group meditation. Also, my tape broadcast was to be the message played that evening. Mark’s broadcast was on Side B, to be played next week at Christmastime.

As we walked along, Mark and I were in the lead, quietly conversing and bonding with one another. I knew that in my opening remarks to the group, I would speak extemporaneously on the theme for this week’s meditation.

Interpretation: The salient factor of the dream is my close bonding with El Morya/Mark, who continues to offer guidance from the higher planes. In Sananda’s final communication through Nada-Yolanda, on July 18, 2005, the Master stated: “El Morya is prepared and available to each and every one of the United Staff who wishes to call upon him for guidance or counseling. He still is the director of this organization.” I have always taken this advice to heart, and often El Morya inspires or instructs me and others of our unit or membership who seek his counsel.

The location of our former headquarters in Florida, where Mark made his transition from this plane in 1981, represents the astral-soul level (past record of experiences), a connecting or transiting point, the doorway, between physical and etheric planes. From the etheric, the superconscious level, El Morya reaches down and connects with me subconsciously in the dream state.

The Executive Building is the focus for executive action; that is, hierarchal decrees and guidance to be implanted thence on the conscious, physical plane. In this sense, the group meeting with other light workers represents not only others whom I reach and influence spiritually but also my own congregation of thought patterns to be molded and transformed according to Spirit’s directive.

As the leader of the meeting this week, it is my conscious I Am Self responsibility to heed the hierarchal guidance, to let Spirit work through me extemporaneously to implement it both within my own consciousness and through my spiritual influence with other light workers and thought leaders on Earth.

The dream is a further implantation of the hierarchal energy influx of the Christ Mass season. El Morya’s message, to be broadcast Christmas week, is on Side B of the meditation tape. Hence, he is the backup; from the inner planes, he is backing me up in my executive functions on the physical at I Am Nation headquarters. He mirrors or doubles the message being transmitted to planet Earth.

Although the theme of my meditation broadcast was not revealed in the dream, in my meditations during the Christmas cycle I’ve been focusing primarily on projections of the Christ matrix: peace, love, cooperation and coordination.

Prayer Requests

/

by El Morya/Mark

 

ONE OF THE GREATEST SERVICES every group, no matter its size, can perform is collective prayer. Prayer is a positive thought or a divine decree, stating a spiritual truth about a matter which is imbalanced. No request is too small, no problem is too insignificant for the Christ Self to be concerned about.

But uppermost in the minds of all must be that no person is required to ascertain or to give the answer. It is each one’s responsibility to know that Spirit alone has the knowledge and the power to do all things. We are the instruments of Spirit. Through us as instruments the answer may be given or the spiritual power may be directed to correct the situation.

Following is the form Mark-Age uses for requests for healing. Healing means to make things whole or to bring conditions into balance. The condition to be worked upon may involve: (a) physical or mental health; (b) personal relationships; (c) specific needs; (d) the transition of a soul from one plane to another, including birth of the soul onto the Earth plane; or (e) decrees for a group, community, state, nation or the entire race of man on the planet.

 

Through the power of Spirit within

we see the following condition manifested now:

______________________________________

within

Name______________Address________________

As we see it, so be it. We give our thanks.

 

(1) Never state the error condition that exists. Only state the spiritual or balanced condition you wish to see come into manifestation. Sometimes a person is so involved in his problem he does not know what the proper or spiritual state should be. You, on the impersonal and detached level, should go into meditation and ask Spirit through you to make the decree or the request.

(2) It is best to have a name or a description or the relationship to a known individual, with an address, clearly stated.

(3) Write it down; fold the paper and put the date of the request on the outside; place it in a sanctified vessel, such as a box.

(4) Eliminate each request at the end of thirty days for that request.

(5) In your daily meditations and prayerful moments remember to send love, blessings, power, good to those who are in your prayer chest.

(6) Remember there are higher beings on the inner planes, who work with you in all your spiritual efforts, who also are aware of those requests. Know they are helping in their own way to bring the condition into balance.

(7) If you or the group desires to be aware of results, ask those who make requests to give you a periodic report on the progress of the problems. But do not keep digging up, looking at, examining, questioning while the spiritual work is going on. This is like the gardener who plants a seed, then digs it up to see if it is growing. Have faith. God hears, and God is in action.

(8) If after thirty days the person requests continued prayer for his problem, repeat the procedure. But know that Spirit knows all needs even before we make our requests. Spirit is balance. Therefore, It works eternally toward harmonious conditions and relationships. Only man on the physical, emotional and mental levels needs the discipline of repetition in order to fortify his faith.

(9) Some groups desire to develop a strong prayer circle. They set aside a definite part of their meeting time for concentration and collective prayer. One of the members or the group leader can do this immediately after reciting the Lord’s Prayer and building the light of protection around the group, just before the period of going into the long silence of meditation.

This would be the appropriate time to make formalized spiritual statements or decrees for mankind, the lesser kingdoms, world leaders, countries, and the evolution of the planet from third into fourth dimensional frequency.

Rendezvous Beyond the Veil

/

The following is a sampling of dream contacts this year with friends and family who reside now in the higher realms. They attest to the reality of our ongoing connections from beyond the veil.

 

El Morya’s Gathering

February 7, 2024. DREAM. El Morya/Mark called together a gathering of dozens of light workers, many of whom were not necessarily Mark-Age members. He selected me to lead the meeting. Sitting to my left, Mark exhibited a silent yet commanding presence. Robert also was present. I stood to address the crowd, to make some introductory remarks before leading everyone into meditation. I then awoke.

Interpretation: El Morya is leader of the light workers on the astral planes for the Second Coming program. I presume the dream indicates a gathering of light workers on the inner planes.

 

Message from I Am

February 19, 2024. DREAM. I channeled a long vocal communication from the I Am. It involved hieronic projections and the importance of maintaining balance, harmony and the alignment of the four lower bodies: physical, mental, emotional, astral. Nada-Yolanda was present, as were other staff members.

 

Astral Regeneration

February 19, 2024. DREAM. I encountered Kathy F. She had her missing, amputated arm back, but was still learning how to use it since full functioning had not yet returned. We talked a bit, but when I awoke I did not recall specifics.

Interpretation: For several years, Kathy F. was the prime in-home caregiver for my parents, prior to their transitions in 2015 and 2017. Many years ago, she had had cancer and the doctors had to amputate her right arm at the shoulder. Even with this significant disability, she managed well her caregiving responsibilities. A devoted Christian woman, she made the transition two or three years ago. So, the dream, which I believe was a real astral contact, shows the progress of her healing on the astral planes. She manifests two arms in her astral form, but due to the soul trauma of her amputation while in physical incarnation, she is still learning how to function and to manipulate fully her limb (power aspect).

 

Sixth Ray Coordination with Nada

February 22, 2024. DREAM. In Nada-Yolanda’s apartment, I had a productive conversation with her about the hierarchal program while I cleaned her stove top. First, I used soap and water, then switched to Windex because I found it more effective on the enamel finish.

Interpretation: The dream shows hierarchal coordination with Nada while I exercise the cleansing functions of my Sixth Ray soul mission.

 

El Morya & Space-Age Appliance

March 13, 2024. DREAM. Mark drove Robert and me, plus one other staff member, to a classy store where he wanted to purchase some new small space-age appliance. Mark, who appeared to be in his late thirties, had great verve and was full of enthusiasm for the task at hand. We entered the store and even had to go through a security check at a magnetometer, as one might do at a government building or at the airport. While I was talking to one of the clerks or guards, I awoke.

Interpretation: The inner plane connection with El Morya/Mark is the key. He continues to guide his staff (Robert and me) on the physical plane. The space-age appliance reminds me of hieronics or other spacecraft equipment. The security check would indicate the Hierarchy’s protection for specialized functions and responsibilities.

 

Mom & Spiritual Space Program

June 3, 2024. DREAM. At home in Lufkin with Mom, I showed her my well-worn copy of Life in Our Solar System and enthusiastically described to her some of the contents. Jonathan also was present.

Interpretation: This inner plane connection with my mother would indicate a further sharing with her of my longtime soul mission with the spiritual space program in this solar system (hence, my well-worn personal copy of the book, which I’ve read many times). Jonathan, my brother and Mark-Age coworker, is a witness and also strengthens the force field for the astral-soul contact.

Note: My mother, Honora Jacobs, made the transition in 2017 at age 97.

 

New Birth in Consciousness

July 4, 2024. DREAM. Lynn F. was pregnant and was just about to go into labor. At her light center, the Mark-Age staff, including Nada-Yolanda, had gathered for the glorious event of the birth. We did not know if the baby would be a boy or a girl.

(In the dream, I knew the staff; but, other than Yolanda, they are not ones I know in physical life. So, they must represent inner plane workers.)

When I first arrived, I greeted Lynn, who was seated on a mattress on the floor, getting ready. She was all aglow, obviously due any minute, and there was a flurry of activity around her. On behalf of Lynn, I then fielded a business phone call from another female member, but told her I had to cut it short because Lynn was about to give birth. When I returned to Lynn and the group, her labor started. I awoke.

Interpretation: Obviously the symbolism indicates a new spiritual birth, a coming forth of new I Am talents in this cycle; birth is imminent. Given the location of Lynn’s Mark-Age center, the dream certainly applies to her, but more than likely shows a new birth within me, too. Nada’s presence indicates the Hierarchy’s guiding influence from the etheric into the soul-astral level.

My fielding of the business call, and cutting it short, means that in my executive capacity I am portraying a protective function for Lynn at a critical moment of her imminent spiritual birth.

 

Observation of Dr. Ken

September 3, 2024. DREAM. I was visiting Di C. in Australia. When I departed, as I passed through an outer room, I came across Ken. He was sitting in a chair, intently reading a book. I sensed it regarded important research, or projects and plans he was involved with, so I did not disturb him (he was not reading for leisure). But I noted that he looked so much younger, appearing as in his early forties. With that observation, I awoke.

Interpretation: Dr. Ken C. made the transition two years ago. This is the third dream I’ve had of him since his passing (see August 26, 2022 and April 12, 2023). In the higher astral realms now, apparently he is intently working on some project (in the “outer room” of Di’s orbit), perhaps involving soul or karmic records; hence, the book. I reported the dream to Di, adding that she would be comforted to know that Ken is watching over her.

 

Transformation of Theon

September 7, 2024. DREAM. (That night, before going to bed, I had prayed to El Morya for spiritual protection.) Entering my house, I saw my mom, dad and Aunt Katy talking with one another in the kitchen/living room area. Then I met Theon, who was there with three others. They had come as a protection squad or detail. All four of them were wearing slacks, dress shirts, and white hard hats. Intuitively, I knew the hard hats meant spiritual protection, not some function with construction work.

Glad to see Theon, I noticed right away that he seemed transformed, more refined in vibration. He even appeared to be glowing in gold light. Also, he had golden blond hair. (In his incarnation here, he had dark, sandy blond hair.) With the protection detail was another fellow who was about six-and-a-half to seven feet tall. (Theon and the others were of normal height.) I knew this fellow by name and greeted him heartily, expressing that I was happy to see him again. (I didn’t bring back his name after awaking.)

Interpretation: The dream obviously is El Morya’s response to my plea for spiritual protection. He sent Theon and his astral protection team or detail to check on me. The initial appearance of my parents and aunt, all of whom are on the other side, also is a signal of the astral venue and vibration.

Theon looked transformed, more refined in vibration than I’ve ever seen him. That would indicate he has advanced in his work on the higher astral planes. The tall man, whom I knew in the dream, probably was someone from the seventh astral plane, given the symbolism of his height. Plus, he was not wearing a hard hat as were the other men. Perhaps he was a mentor or an observer, also part of El Morya’s team.

 

Nada’s New Book

September 17, 2024. DREAM. Nada-Yolanda was writing a new book on the I Am Self. I was her editor. In our editorial conference, we had gotten as far as Chapter 10. We both were happy and enthusiastic about the project, planning our schedule going forward. On a mundane note, Yolanda remarked that I would prepare the salad for all of our meals, and she would arrange for the rest of the meal; meaning, others would prepare that. I happily agreed.

Interpretation: The dream of the editorial conference evokes many wonderful memories of countless editorial conferences I had with Nada-Yolanda over the years. They are some of my favorite memories of interaction with her. Her new book on the I Am Self bodes well for new changes and breakthroughs. The number 10 is the number that she and Sananda vibrate to, so that is significant. Also, it shows new beginnings at a new octave. We are well on our way. In the dream, both of us were very happy and enthusiastic about working with one another on her new project.

Planning for meals represents the allocation of spiritual energies to nourish our joint, interdimensional endeavor. A salad is an initial, rather simple course to prepare as part of my responsibilities on the physical plane. Nada and her team will prepare the more substantial parts of the meal; that is, the higher ideas and inspirations for implementation.

 

Sandy’s Journey

October 26, 2024. DREAM. I accompanied Sandy B., a close childhood friend, to a large medical clinic. He had been diagnosed with some illness and was there to get treatment. I waited for him while he went in to see the doctor.

Interpretation: Only after I woke up did I realize, a few seconds later, that Sandy had made the transition a few years ago! The dream seemed so physically real. The large medical clinic obviously represents a major healthcare center on the astral plane. I presume that Sandy is doing OK on the other side and is getting the help he needs for his ongoing soul evolvement.

My only other dream of Sandy was on October 28, 2019, a few weeks after his transition.

 

Jim Parker Appears

November 29, 2024. DREAM. Jim Parker paid me a visit upstairs at my home. We had a brief but very pleasant exchange. He appeared to be happy and doing well. Cathie Bird also was present. When Jim left, as he was going down the long staircase in the building, I realized I needed to give him a copy of the November-December issue of our newsletter. So, I went bounding down the stairwell and caught up with him as he exited. I said, “Hang on a minute, Jim. I have your copy of the latest newsletter to give you.” When I hurried back inside to get it, I awoke.

Interpretation: Only after a moment or two, while lying awake in bed, did I suddenly realize that Jim had made the transition two years ago and was now on the other side of the veil! This is my first dream contact with him since his transition on December 16, 2022. I rejoice in the renewed interdimensional connection!

Jim was a dear friend and a longtime Mark-Age supporter in Texas. In fact, I was the one who introduced him to Mark-Age in Austin in October 1973, through a lengthy letter I had written to the editor of The Daily Texan (University of Texas campus newspaper) about UFOs and the spiritual space program. I’ll always remember that long, wonderful talk we had at his first Mark-Age meeting.

Prepare Your Spiritual Financial Report

/

by El Morya/Mark

 

Editor’s note: Scroll down to the end of this article and listen to El Morya/Mark’s original podcast, recorded extemporaneously in 1974.

 

CONSIDER YOURSELF A MEMBER OF A BOARD OF DIRECTORS. For if you are a New Age light worker, a Mark-Age Family member, you are directing thoughts into mass consciousness which will help to eliminate much of the error in race thought patterns. You are cooperating with those in the higher planes who also are on this Board of Directors, whose function it is to help lift mankind out of the material, third dimensional environment into a spiritual, fourth dimensional existence.

To bridge these two levels of consciousness, let us take current topics and terminology and build them into a spiritual premise or broadcast. By using these familiar thought patterns and activities, we can help man improve his life on both levels. Dwell on these analogies and expand on them in your own meditations. In doing this you not only put your personal flavor on the original ideas but you relay the thoughts to all of mankind, and multiply them.

 

BUDGET: This does not apply to just a limited amount of income, where most of us have tried to live within a prescribed amount, but, as in the budgeting of corporations and governments, it applies to allocating a certain supply for a particular period of time, usually a year.

Think in terms of how much in the way of spiritual supply you have to spend. How do you intend to allocate it for this year? Will you budget so much in positive thinking, so much for good and proper spiritual expenditure of time, energy, deeds, thoughts?

When you have a budget, it is not always a question of just trying to keep within it. Many times you have to develop programs for using up your budget, that particular series of allocations. There is plenty of spiritual supply. How will you use it? Will it be wisely? Don’t worry about spending all of it, because you know there is that same amount or more for the budget next year.

Think not only in terms of budgeting your time and spiritual expressions in every respect. Don’t think in terms of just limiting your expenditures, but how you can use the vast budget of spiritual wealth each of us has to spend, individually and collectively.

In the coming weeks and months, dwell on how much you have to budget of energy, ideas, infinite wealth from God within. Try to think: “How can I expand my expenditures so I can fulfill spending all of this spiritual supply which Spirit through my high Self would want to put through me?” There is no need to limit your budget in this respect.

 

COST OF LIVING: We are thinking here in terms of the cost of living, not how much it costs to buy things in today’s inflated market. What is it costing you to live as you are now? How are you spending your energies, your time, your ideas, your actions?

Is there anything you are doing that harms your living at this time? Is too much time spent on negative thinking, negative actions? Are there things you still indulge in which harm your health? Is too much time spent on idle conversation, nonproductive activities? Is there anything you are doing which adds to the cost of your living? Are you putting undue stress or wear and tear on your physical, mental, emotional aspects?

A wise steward of Spirit’s supply does not add unnecessarily to the present high cost of living. The wise manager who expects to keep his job or to be promoted to even a more responsible one continually looks for ways and means to cut down the costs of living in this complex environment called Earth. Constantly contemplate whether the cost of living a certain way or with a certain attitude is beneficial to yourself, to others, to God or Spirit who created you.

 

CORPORATION BUSINESS: You are a corporation. Your members are God and your own consciousness: your high Self, your mortal or personality expression for this lifetime, your subconscious records. Within the entire Hierarchal Board’s plan and program you are a single corporation in a huge conglomerate.

Corporations are formed for issuing certain products or services. Their health depends on how they balance their various departments and functions, how they save by eliminating duplication or unnecessary and unproductive activities, how well they delegate responsibilities, how pioneering they are in exploring new products and expanding their special services. Is your corporation a healthy, growing business with a future?

 

CHECKBOOK: In order to keep track of your expenditures and income, you need a checkbook. This allows you to double-check your expenditures, to review the wisdom of expenses, and to know when to add more supply to the bank account. It is good to have a reserve supply so you can write additional checks, make new expenditures, when unforeseen needs arise.

Every checkbook must be balanced. You cannot spend more than you have, in terms of energy reserve of ideas, expressions, time, supply. You have to keep within your allocated budget if you expect your checkbook to balance. But there always is the possibility — in corporations, governments and our spiritual lives — to increase the budget if the program warrants it. Unwise, impulsive, inexperienced managers may dream up projects which not only would break the allocated budget but would use up the reserve supply.

 

AUDITOR: Spirit has an unlimited supply, which It administers through the executive administrator of our corporations: each one’s individual high Self, the I Am.

Your high Self is your auditor. Turn the auditing of your books over to your high Self. Let your I Am Self step in and audit your books, and relay intuitively the information as to the condition of your checkbook. Have you stepped out of bounds in one way or another? Have you spent too much in any department? Have you been spending unwisely, inflatedly?

 

ASSETS & LIABILITIES: Many of us are concentrating too much on our liabilities. We are piling up liabilities in the way we think, the way we act, what we have done in the past, creating conditions in our corporate lives that are not an asset to our business but really are liabilities.

Learn to recognize what your liabilities are. Compile a balance sheet, and reduce those liabilities. Endeavor to close them down one by one until they have been eliminated.

To offset your liabilities, you have untold assets within your spiritual nature. For we are sons and daughters of God, and therefore have a wonderful spiritual heritage, talents, powers; an inexhaustible supply from Spirit, through our individual high Selves. These are our greatest assets.

But also you must examine your individual corporation and recognize your special talents, functions, experiences, knowledge, soul records and thus contemplate the additional assets you have. Examine your balance sheet of assets and liabilities now. Don’t you have more spiritual assets than you have mortal liabilities?

Build up and spend from those spiritual assets. Cut down, decrease, eliminate as much as possible those mortal liabilities. Otherwise, you are going to have to work on a basis of deficit spending. You don’t really want any deficit spending in your spiritual corporation, in your I Am state of consciousness. It is not necessary. There is plenty of reserve in your spiritual bank. You do not need to work from a deficit budget.

What would be deficit spending? Exhausting your energies, your time, your physical action, your mental planning on projects not worthy of those expenses are examples of deficit spending.

Make a complete financial analysis, a prospectus, in advance. See just what you do spend, and on what. There is no need to go into debt at any time, if you check with the auditor as to what is available to you in the reserve supply. There is no need ever to overdraw your account, if you work in cooperation with your auditor. You are entitled to all the spiritual supply you need, provided you use it in a proper, productive, healthy way.

Spirit has invested tremendous stock in each of Its corporations. The more of spiritual supply you can spend properly, usefully, creatively, the more your spiritual stocks will rise.

Start building up the inventory of yourself. Feel your own worthiness. Know the true value of yourself; and of others, too. Remember, as much as you help build up the stock of other corporations, that is how much you build up the need for your own corporation to supply that many more businesses with your specialized product and services. Each corporation is individual, unique, needed. Each one serves each other corporation. Joined together, we create a conglomerate of I Am corporations.

Revised from Mark-Age Meditations audio broadcast #67A, released in December 1974.
