WISDOM

Book One: In this Age of Truth and Light

By: Emslie Dick For Serena

Foreword

AS WE BEGIN to write this book based upon Universal Law and Principle in June 1998, we are surrounded on one side by great beauty and accomplishment and on the other by pits of human depravity.

Some individuals are reaching to new heights of spirituality, not possible to most of Humanity until recently, and others are degenerating as human beings. As some learn to live long and disease free lives, disease is killing off productive individuals, despite the intervention of an intelligent and well-trained medical establishment.

Our news media give us detailed and graphic accounts of the madness in our society as they report on shootings, road rage, pet dogs attacking, maiming and killing children, children killing children, gang related turf wars, and so on. The news is no better from abroad as we learn about bully governments using armies to crush human spirit and kill human beings.

In response to the carnage surrounding the citizenry, the media in knee-jerk reaction, use their "golden address file" to call in politicians, media pundits and self-appointed "experts" who trot out the same shopworn opinions and argue about tinkering with laws or sanctions.

They do not understand what is behind the news!

What is going on?

There is an answer which is simple but not easy to prove or to disprove, as it lies outside the paradigm of our collective consciousness or matrix of commonly held and published knowledge.

In essence: We humans and animals who inhabit the surface of Planet Earth are caught in the maelstrom of a major shift in planetary energies. The energies which maintain the physical substance within which we live and have our being, are moving to the frequency of a "higher octave," as the planet renews itself.

Everything will have to change! Humans who do not understand what is happening will suffer dearly for their ignorance.

What we are writing is not new. We remember discussing this topic almost fifty years ago and it was not new then.

What is new, is the reality of the shift that is upon us and the lack of understanding which is most prevalent. The consequences are real. It is time that we woke up!

Although we, in our youthful arrogance and sophistication, intellectually "knew" of these things, we didn't pay attention; until, in simple language, it was explained in a few words, what horror we shall bear, if we do not pay attention.

It came about this way: we were at a small gathering in someone's home on Friday, July 20, 1990, and in response to a question, we were told what was happening to, and was going to happen to our planet and Humankind on it. We did not pay much attention. However, we did write notes. The following is a transcript of the notes of what we heard on that occasion:

"John said: that the vibratory rate is changing on our planet - that although we are all experiencing the same vibration, some are becoming more spiritual and others not. He said that we should immediately decide whether we are spiritual - and if we are to be, our lives will have to reflect it.

He said that we can no longer sit on the fence - we are either spiritual or we are not!

He said that during our lifetime, the {and I didn't catch the word} was going to happen.

The world will hit a bump!

On that day the spiritual will be lifted out of harm's way and returned without them even knowing it.

He said that the non-spiritual were to be destroyed on that awful day, and that their souls will have to start the evolutionary climb again - that they will be (and John outlined their unspeakable fate): then noting, they will have some consciousness that they had in the past been in better circumstances.

He said that Hell would be kind in comparison to what is going to happen to the non-spiritual.

John concluded, by saying that with whatever knowledge you have or can acquire, get on a one-to-one relation with your God, as you perceive him. That if you have that one-to-one relationship - you will not be destroyed.

The hand written notes were filed and forgotten for a while. However, at a deeper level, we knew John and his source of information was correct, and we slowly began to pay attention.

As we slowly cast aside our cloak of arrogance about things we did not understand and replaced it with prayer, meditation, study and observation; we began to realise that there is much going on which is not reported, or is misunderstood by our "leaders" and by the press.

As we learned about and played with the new emerging energies, we began to realise that we on this planet are caught up in a Cosmic Event of incredible proportions.

Truth and Light

We are in the midst of change, which can be observed. You will have noticed changes in society that are making it mandatory for individuals to tell the truth.

These energies which can be detected, but not on any man-made instruments that we know of, are playing havoc, as individuals wake up to the new reality. Notice the marriages and relationships which outwardly seem stable and happy, suddenly dissolve. Notice the couples making unions, which surprise their friends. Couples, whom no one would ever think of as joining together are marrying or going into new relationships.

The defining criteria seems to be TRUTH! Individuals are now demanding truth! Not only are they demanding truth in their relationships, but they are beginning to demand truth from their politicians, and from their religious leaders.

As this new energy of Truth continues to manifest on Planet Earth, politicians and governments will fall, as the masses demand truth and proper accounting from their leaders.

All the pillars of our civilization that cannot pass the test of this Universal Truth will collapse and be replaced by organizations based on Truth.

The observant are also seeing that Spiritual Light is now manifesting through more individuals than since any time in recorded history. Ever since the human being has existed in its present form, certain individuals have always attempted to study, to meditate, and to learn the laws of the life of the Universe.

These great souls or mystics who did learn to master themselves, to learn the great Truths, were not able to communicate what they had learned to the population at large, as there were no words to adequately describe their experience, and because those around them were not able to understand. Remnants of their experience and teaching was passed on to us through mythology, scriptures, hymns, poems and sayings, and some of their teachings became the basis of the various great religions, cultures and civilizations of this planet. All great belief systems can trace their beginnings to a great teacher or avatar - a mystic.

What was learned by these many individuals from all cultures in the past is most important and highly valued. Some of the knowledge and awareness is still with us and will remain with us, to give us markers and guidance, through the trials to come.

However, this is NOW, and at this moment there are living on this planet, many great souls who have evolved to the level, where their minds and souls are ready, yearning and able, to learn the great 'secret' of life.

Traces of the great secret are all about us in our scriptures from all faiths, mythology and modern science. But, unless you know where to look and what to look for, these snippets of the great secret won't be of value to you in your personal search. In the past and at present, there are great scholars who spend their lives in search - who become very knowledgeable - but who never learn the secret. They might have gained enough information to write excellent books and to give excellent talks and lectures, but they do not know the Truth of life, as it cannot be found in books. However, books are a logical place to begin the search!

There is a path which can be found if you open yourself to finding it. There are books, courses, schools of wisdom and great teachers throughout the planet who can help. When you open yourself to your inner guidance; books, teachers and Wisdom will find you. The ancient adage: "When the pupil is ready, the Master appears," is still true.

Some of what can be revealed to you is never written, is never taught in schools as we know them, is never disclosed to the unworthy, and is never found in books for the public.

Others "in the know" have confirmed what John said about the emerging energies and the coming "bump". The fate of the billions of souls who have turned from the spiritual is another matter. It and the fate of the planet can be changed as the level of consciousness in humanity does affect the planet and its future. So basically, it is our beliefs and choices based on those beliefs, which will determine our future, and the future of mankind.

In our Western society, everyone is free to believe what they believe and, to make choices. One simple choice for some might be to become as a child and pray directly to the Great Father of us all, as you perceive him and re-establish or build upon your one-to-one relationship. A more complex choice for those who are ready would be to establish the one-to-one basis through direct prayer, then to expand their Knowledge and Wisdom to complete their 'Great Mission' on Planet Earth in this lifetime.

It is your choice. If you do choose spirituality, make sure that your personal life reflects your belief.

Chapter One:
A Cosmic rite of passage

OCTOBER 04, 1957 on our Gregorian Calendar is unique in the recorded history of the life form known as Humankind that inhabits Planet Earth. On that day, Sputnik, a series of artificial Earth Satellites, inaugurated the space age, freeing the human race from the shackles of gravity.

Little did we, who watched that tiny speck of light in the night sky, circling the planet every 96 minutes, know that we were also witnessing the birth of the Cosmic Age of Human Consciousness. The beginning of the end of the old ways of life on Planet Earth! It was a man-made sign in the heavens that the way was being made ready for planetary consciousness and for humanity en masse to embrace Cosmic or Universal Consciousness as individuals, if they so choose.

Our history of the past 15 decades has been of a dying, segmented culture and civilization in juxtaposition with the ideas, knowledge and energies of an emerging new age. Although the source of these energies is Cosmic in nature, the effect can be seen in the stirring up and breaking down of old societies and values; and the introduction of new inventions, new values and new ways of living and of doing.

Another man-made marker to change in planetary consciousness, but not generally understood, was the Chinese Communist invasion and re-conquest of Tibet in 1950, and the treaty which was signed in 1951 that undermined the Dalai Lama. With these events, the great spiritual force which had made Tibet a spiritual hot spot for thousands of years, left and began surfacing on other parts of the planet. These hot spots are still surfacing, and it is through some of these that the new energies are becoming known. One of the earliest of these hot spots to come to public attention was at Findhorn in Northern Scotland.

Also in 1950 a human demarcation began to be observed. We started to notice that humans born in or after 1950 are a different kind of person. They seem to have a greater choice to veer to a more spiritual and positive life or to choose the opposite. This is becoming more noticeable in our world's population as the newer Universal and Spiritual energies impinge upon and impregnate the planet and those of us upon it. Because of this and many other factors, change is coming very fast. We are caught in the midst of a dying, segmented culture and civilization. The new civilization is being born right now!

This is why it is so important that we, as individuals, make good choices so that our minds, bodies, skills, intellect and everything about us is prepared, tuned and ready to function in this new planetary environment. We must begin to recognize who we are, take up the challenge, and begin to work as conscious co-workers with our Creator, not only on the planet but also in the greater Universe.

We can begin to understand what it means to be, and learn to improve our skills, as multi-dimensional human beings. When the time comes that we are ready, we can, as individuals, investigate the more recent and current energies now impinging upon our planet. This skill will be possible only to those who are prepared through study and meditation and have fine-tuned their bodies and minds.

What makes this period in which we are living so different? It is because the Planet Earth is passing through a higher electro-spiritual field known as the Aquarian Constellation. The world ages which we term Piscean and Aquarian are particularly related to the precession of the equinoxes, an astronomical fact. According to written history, the Babylonians and Chaldeans were among the first to chart the skies. They theorized a sympathetic relationship or some correspondence between the movement of the heavenly bodies and the affairs on planet Earth and things of our existence.

The stars traversing through the skies gives the division of the calendar, the day, year, world year, and world era. It is this world era that we are examining. In this paradigm, a New World era begins whenever the Sun on the spring equinox enters a new sign in the zodiac. Accordingly the position of the sun on the vernal equinox moves eastward from year to year. In 72 years it moves one day, and in about 2200 years, one month - or to a new sign.

A world era or age is about 2200 years. Astronomically, we shall leave the Piscean Age, which began some 2000 years ago, in approximately 150 years. As a result of the phenomenon of the precession, we shall at that time enter the Age of Aquarius.

Much has been prophesied, written, said and sung about this Aquarian Age and its potential of 2000 years of humanitarian and universal brotherhood. Developments of this age are to be of factors as infinite and intangible as air, mind and energy. We can observe in retrospect some of the markers leading to this new age: radio, aviation, atomic energy, computers and so on.

In great cosmic cycles such as these, there is never a sharp demarcation; rather, there is a mingling of the energies before complete separation. Therefore, we are caught in both energies and must decide which flow of energy is ours. When we do not decide, the decision is made for us. Since humans are beings of energy, are we not harmoniously related to the spectrum of the energy of the Planet Earth? Think about it.

One way, perhaps, to understand these energy shifts, is to imagine the Universal energy on this planet as being played upon a gigantic piano. What is happening now is that the piano melody is being shifted to a higher octave.

Due to our passing into and through the higher electro-spiritual field of energies in the Aquarian constellation, we are experiencing a higher influx of spiritual light vibration. It is the higher and finer frequencies of these vibrations that are causing all of the matter-bound souls to go a little crazy or to develop illnesses such as cancer and the like. Those matter-bound souls who have not learned that there are new energies currently impinging upon Planet Earth, energies which are not in harmony with the sense-mad mind-set of our present way of life, will be, and have been suffering for their ignorance.

As all of these new energies are out of synchronization with the lower sense-mad mind of current modern humanity, those of us who have not yet learned to glimpse beyond our veil of sense perception, or who have not adjusted our diet and lifestyles to the new reality, will suffer illness or early transition.

The matter of "whether this might happen" is out of our reach to change because all Universal Laws are immutable, unchangeable. All that we can do, or should do, is to change ourselves so that we are in "sync" with our Source.

At the time of the "bump" or pole shift in a few months, those who chose to remain out of "sync" will be removed from this Earth Plane to begin their slow evolution to again become a human being.

Another reason why we should consider changing ourselves to get in "sync," with our source or our Creator, is to save our Mother Earth from great stress and tribulation. The bump which is being referred to, has been predicted and prophesied in various belief systems and cultures for thousands of years.

The great prophets have warned of the coming upheavals in the Arctic and in the Antarctic that will trigger eruptions of volcanoes in torrid areas. They have spoken of Northern Europe in a new ice age, and Japan and vast areas of North America being broken up and being under the sea.

No one can predict with absolute certainty, what, if anything is going to happen. Conjecture did lie with a conjunction of five planets lined up on the other side of the Sun destabilizing the planet. However due to a changing human attitude, led by some wise spiritual and temporal leaders, the bump will not be as severe as had been predicted. That awful day has been postponed. It remains that people who are not spiritually inclined will be greatly affected in ways that are not good.

In the face of these prophesied and expected cosmic events, humankind as individuals could be perceived as being very puny and not being able to change anything. This may be true, but there is another factor, which we overlook. That factor is that Humankind has a special place in the Holy Hierarchy as a conscious co-creator with the Creator, when Humanity as individuals and nations choose to assume this responsibility. The tools to work with for change, that Humankind has, are the full use of the conscious and subconscious mind. When humans know how to tap into it, they will have access to the Universal Mind, and to the power of Universal Love. They will have the ability to communicate with others, and most importantly, the ability to communicate with the Creator of our Universe through the direct one-to-one power of prayer and of meditation.

The First Law.

As we write in December 1998, the horror which has been described is on schedule, and the current odds are that it will happen, BUT, and this is important - It does NOT have to take place. We have described what individuals can do to save themselves.

To save Humanity and Mother Earth from this calamity will take leadership from our spiritual and temporal leaders, and a united and worldwide-organized effort to change our attitudes and practices towards our Mother Earth and our Creator.

We need both leadership and individual choice to make necessary changes. Let us pray that we are not too late.

You, as a unique individual, are a wonder of your Creator and have the innate healing powers of the Universe, if you let go and use them - heal yourself and others; when you heal others, you automatically heal yourself - that is the law. The law of the Universe, the Creator's law is unchangeable and can be used by you and others as you learn how. The first law is Truth, so have truth in all of your dealings. As you learn to use Law, you will increase your power to do good on Planet Earth.

Many humans do not see the big picture, and those who may see it, are on a confrontational approach to solving the problems. Governments must be approached and educated, as only they have the power to stop the major tragedies and ravages being perpetrated on Mother Earth. If Humankind does not learn to live in harmony on this planet, Humankind will have to be removed and replaced with another life form.

We do have the tools for changes which can be powerful, if rightly used!

We, as individuals, cannot change others through laws or through force, but we can change ourselves. When one individual changes, the Universe is changed. Change has a domino effect. When we as individuals learn to become truly spiritual and manifest ourselves in a spiritual manner through our daily living, others will change with us. Spirituality cannot be taught, but it can be caught from others.

When our leaders, both temporal and spiritual, recognize who they really are, and make that change in their personal lives, the domino effect could be very pronounced, and whole cultures and countries could benefit along with Mother Earth.

As sons and daughters of the Living Creator, we are more powerful than we know, and you, as an individual, have the opportunity and challenge to exercise this power now. It's YOUR CHOICE.

Chapter Two:
The Age of our opportunity

AS WE lift our heads and raise our sights out of our little personal world of despair, challenging our survival, we will see that prophesies, both ancient and modern, are in the configuration of a double-edged-sword. We of this generation on Planet Earth are also being offered the opportunity to create a more enlightened and spiritual planetary society. The sword has reached a critical balance and can cut either way.

You and your peers, who are on the cusp of change, are the potential pioneers of a new age of Humankind that will inhabit this planet in the twenty-first century and beyond. The wars of this century have shattered or destroyed the old restrictions that once governed the lives of our ancestors. The new emerging electro-spiritual energies combining with an awareness, coupled with a new technology, plus instant world-wide communications, provide us with the tools and opportunity for Humankind to raise the level of human consciousness.

Emerging leaders will choose to be different during this evolving period of enlightenment, because the vibratory energies, which surround this planet are changing to a smoother, more female-like frequency. This is indicating a need for the co-operation of our leaders, not the confrontation that has existed overpoweringly during the Age of Pisces.

The next step?

Whatever it is, we must concern ourselves! You and me. Nothing else will matter. If through ignorance, we forsake our souls and by default our humanity, plunging into the horrible abyss, we will be forced to spend aeons of time evolving again to our present status as human. Our Father, the Creator, will not destroy a soul, as the soul is part of the Creator.

That day of judgement and horror is closing in on us, and if we do not choose, the choice will be made for us. Not to, is a choice in itself.

Many of us have chosen to find and pay attention to spiritual leaders and teachers who have some belief-system-teaching of what we might face during this period of planetary initiation and renewal. Some, because of the teachings of their belief systems, may view this planetary renewal as "End Times". Renewal and change, being a natural progression, has occurred before and will continue to occur. If we have chosen or do choose rightly -we should have nothing to fear, as we evolve to a finer, more spiritualized being in this sea of finer energy which is emerging. Those who have chosen rightly have chosen to protect their eternal souls.

What is upon us, is choice! Simply put: choose or do not choose. It is for us, who are too busy with our daily lives to pay attention to our Creator, who are in jeopardy.

But! And, it is a big BUT! All valid prediction and prophecy is based upon what the seer, mystic, or prophet sees, as he or she peers along the time-line-continuum, and what they see, is based upon earlier cause, and probabilities of outcome, arising from cause.

They know from experience, that if a change in cause is made, that the event prophesied or predicted will change also.

We do not have to accept what has been prophesied - we can change it NOW!

Since the crisis which is upon us, is rooted in our individual, national, and planetary relation, to the Creator of our Universe - we have the power within us to change predicted events.

When individuals take it upon themselves to raise their own consciousness, and to heal the planet, others will be attracted to join with them. If we make the effort, the consciousness of individuals, families, cities, nations, and the planet, will be raised. Change begins with the man or woman that we see in the mirror every morning. We simply begin, by becoming as children, re-establishing our one-on-one relationship with our Creator, in the way that we have all been taught. The method is daily prayer.

Simple, straightforward prayer, personal, individual prayer, which is a direct communication with the Creator of our Universe. Pray to your God as you perceive your God, using whatever name for your Creator that is in your belief system.

Nothing could be simpler. The Father hears ALL prayer! When daily prayer is established, the next step will be to manifest spirituality in our daily lives and to protect Mother Earth from the ravages of our technology.

We can never say that we don't know what this means, because there is a multitude of dedicated men and women whose whole purpose in life is to teach, and to share the blessings of the spiritual life. You already know who they are; if you are not acquainted, seek them out and pay attention.

The Father knows what you do, so make the right choice, and do it now.

The tools for the rescue and salvation of Humankind, and for the healing and restoration of Planet Earth are all about us. There is a need for those who will choose to be leaders to surface and to take their places. We need to choose rightly, and to take right action. Your decision and action will help to inspire others to decision and action. The choice is yours.

Chapter Three:
A day of judgement

IF YOU have taken what has been written here seriously, you may also take as serious the immediate necessity of immersing your present life into the spiritual life of the Creator. This is a personal choice to be made by each individual and it is to be done through individual one-on-one prayer with The Father.

This necessity cannot be expressed strongly enough! The Creator will not destroy a soul, but those who do not heed the warnings may find on that terrible day of judgement, that they are no longer in human form, and are to begin a journey of horror, of evolution out of the slime, for long aeons of time until they become fit to become human again. The dim remembrance that they were once human and had a better status will be worse than Hell itself.

Not only do we need to pray for ourselves and for Humanity, but also we need to take personal responsibility for our home environment on Mother Earth. We may have time to save Planet Earth from much destruction if we begin to act now!

If you have chosen to choose rightly, to take action and engage in prayer - ask your inner guidance to help you to establish a Spiritual Living Ideal, then support it by a steadfast faith and continuous spiritual, mental, and physical effort.

There are many teachers with knowledge at your current level of spiritual development that can assist you right now. In fact, you may well be in contact with your teacher at your place of worship. We are all pilgrims on a spiritual journey, even when we deny it. Each of us is at a different stage of this journey, which means that what is new to one individual, may be old and trite to another. The Creator has supplied teachers for us at every stage of the spiritual journey. There are no accidents; there is no co-incidence; each of us is exactly where we should be to learn what we have to learn on this journey. This is why we should take the time to analyze where we are and how we got there. Look around and assess where you are and where you plan to go.

There has been much written and discussed, over the years, about what we may expect in these "End Times". Read, study, see for yourself - think!

Make a conscious decision to choose for yourself. Write the decision in your journal or on your calendar, date it and time it. Do not delay. Do it NOW!

Remembering, that although seers and prophets read and interpret what they see in the Time-Line-Continuum, it does not have to happen as prophesied. The Time-Line- Continuum can be, and is changed by human choices.

We create our own future.

You are Human. Make your choice! Create your own future. IF YOU have taken what has been written here seriously, you may also take as serious the immediate necessity of immersing your present life into the spiritual life of the Creator. This is a personal choice to be made by each individual and it is to be done through individual one-on-one prayer with The Father.

Chapter Four:
Align with Universal Law

ALTHOUGH WE now live on a planet where vast changes are and will take place, we do not need to become a victim. We can use this energy of change to get us to a higher place on this planet and to help us carry out our purpose for being here.

You and perhaps many others who are now reading these words may be studying, in your own fashion, the Universal Laws of success and failure.

There are many teachers, books, courses, seminars and practical personal experience that are available to you. You may have applied some of the laws to certain facets of your own life with success. Often though as a human you may not have applied the laws conscientiously, and allowed your mind to drift. When a mind is allowed to drift, it can, and usually does drift and will lead you into a whirlpool of non-success and eventually failure.

Every life is different in experience, however the laws of the Universe are timeless, never changing, and non-personal. We may lead successful, triumphant lives by learning about these laws and aligning our lives with them.

We are at peril when we choose to ignore, or drift into ignorance of Universal Law. The peril may be poverty, sickness, untimely death or borderline lives.

Electricity is a classic example of Universal Law at work. Understood, it will heat and light our cities, energize our machinery, transmit pictures, music and the human voice around the planet and beyond, at the incredible speed of light. Misunderstood or not harnessed, it will destroy and kill equally as well.

This Universal Law of electricity was law throughout the history of Humankind, and yet, it is only recently that Humans discovered the principle and began to harness this great power. Even so, we still do not understand what is behind the Universal Law of electricity.

Likewise, there are Universal Laws of a spiritual nature, Universal Laws of success, relationship, physics and money - all is law. Humankind in general, because of the complex nature of our humanity, may never understand or even discover all of these laws.

However, Humankind, through the great mystics, thinkers, philosophers, scientists, mathematicians, teachers, writers, and through practical experience, has uncovered many Universal Laws. A chosen few have known and used many of these laws for many centuries, but Humankind in general had not reached the level of education and knowledge where they could understand, and much was necessarily hidden from the profane.

Today, nothing but the most sacred, need be hidden, and we may choose to uncover the Truth. We may choose to ignore, or we may choose to make use of these laws. As in the law of electricity, we must create channels and machines to be served by these great laws.

When we focus our minds, create our own personal machinery and channels, then plug into the great Universal reservoir of power, we will achieve success, wealth and power that can only be limited by our own lack of imagination. Here, we caution that in order to use this power effectively, it is necessary to learn how to build an inner centre from which we can operate. This is often overlooked and not often taught, but it is essential for any rapid progress.

Since every individual on this planet is unique and has his own experience, strengths, weaknesses, wisdom and knowledge, we all have the power to achieve in our own way. There is nothing to stop us, but ourselves.

Each of us brought to the planet a purpose, and only each in his own way can discover what that purpose is. There is a much higher purpose for each of us but we will not recognize it until we are ready. You would not be reading these words if it was against your purpose, nor is it coincidence that you are reading this material.

What follows is what to look for. Although there are many instructors and guides, you are ultimately your own teacher. You create your own life, breath by breath, success by success, even if you do not know consciously that you are doing it.

"When the pupil is ready, the Master appears" is an ancient adage which is one hundred percent true. In fact, a pupil will not even recognize his or her Master Teacher until he or she is ready.

This is the crux of the problem which we face! How are we to learn, if we don't know what it is we have to learn? This is our quandary! Who will teach us, if we don't recognize our teacher?

Ever since the Human has lived in its present body on this planet, some have asked the unanswerable questions, not being content with the answers of their "Elders" or those who should know.

In the past, certain individuals have searched out a wise teacher, a temple, a monastery, a mystery school or whatever; depending upon the age, culture and belief system which was prevalent during their span of life on this planet. This led to a variety of teachings, sometimes despicable living conditions, sometimes a snippet of knowledge after a lifetime of service and sitting at the feet of a "Master." These circumstances and conditions exist even today, and in some of our great modern cities.

However, through it all, a purpose was served and many brave souls throughout the ages have found Enlightenment and Wisdom.

Some individuals have always "known" that they have a higher purpose and some have always attempted to learn what it is, and to achieve it. They have attempted to observe, to study and to learn the great immutable Laws of the Universe.

Chapter Five:
Of Truth and of Magic

"AND THE Truth shall set you free!" We have all seen these words or similar words before in English, or another language; the phrase enjoins us to seek a Truth. What truth? Your truth? My truth? The truth of the common man? Who knows?

There are many individuals and institutions quite willing and able to teach you their truth. But is it your truth?

If only we could understand that there is no objective truth, that we create our own truth! Know that our current truth is an opinion, an idea, a belief; understand that most of us create or are taught a belief system that programs our thinking and our activities. If we could really understand that there is no solid objective truth and that the truths, opinions or ideas of others are as valid as our own, then there would be less conflict among those who inhabit this planet.

It is currently necessary that belief systems be taught, otherwise there would be anarchy, and our great civilizations could not exist; but we have come to this planet to experience human life, to learn and to seek the Truth. The more diligently we seek the Truth and experience life, the more we find ourselves not knowing and digging deeper. Wisdom is in knowing that you don't know, and in keeping oneself constantly seeking and learning. We all choose our own truth and our not-knowing-ness is a profoundness, which comes as close as possible to the Truth.

For more than fifty years this writer has been seeking Truth and Wisdom. He has found wise teachers, wonderful books and courses, had insights and has had many other stepping stones provided along the path.

What follows is the result of opening many doors. The experience, Wisdom or Truth that is touched upon here is to provide you with questions - not answers. There are no simple answers. You can only learn, as you prepare yourself to learn.

In the ancient Wisdom schools of Tibet, when a student asked his Master a serious question, the reply, very often, was: "go and find out."

As you read these pages, you are being asked to "go and find out." Don't take what is written here or anywhere else as the final Truth - be your own teacher, find out for yourself.

In the following, you will find much to be aware of. Much has been written, but there is much more to it!

Have a pleasant journey of discovery, and soon you will find greater stepping stones and fascinating individuals to help you find your own Truth and Wisdom.

For the seeker there is a 'Truth', which is a spiritual or philosophical verity, which will make you free, but it is not to be found in casual conversation or in casual research. It is truly profound and cannot be understood by those who are not ready.

The Magic of Self.

There is magic, a magic that can be seen on television or on the stage or elsewhere; and then there is another kind of magic, a real magic - the "magic of the self" - a magic that you and you alone create. This is the magic to be examined.

This magic, the magic of self is very, very powerful. It can make you great and successful. It can destroy you. It is how you handle it that makes the difference; and that's the whole purpose of what we are doing in this book - to let you know that it is there, so that you can make a choice as to whether you will make it work for you.

If human language was clear and precise, and if each one of us fully understood the language we speak so that we could truly communicate; what is being written here could be communicated in a few short sentences. You would be able to understand and do something about it - manifest what you want out of life. But our language is not precise. Words do not resonate with the same meaning because we have different parents who taught us, different backgrounds, different teachers, and different experiences. Much is different in each of us, as we have different patterns of understanding.

When you find repetition, it will be from different points of view, and for these reasons.

Real magic, the magic we are looking at has power because it is based upon laws. Laws that Humankind has been attempting to understand and use for thousands of years. Many great minds throughout the ages have mentally searched for an understanding of these laws and have recorded their understandings. We suggest that you read great books both ancient and modern in your search for Wisdom.

In great books from all cultures, the laws are expressed over and over again. Study is the only way that we can understand them.

The understanding and use of these great Universal Laws is what makes individuals, peoples and countries great. Not understanding and the improper use of these laws cause individuals and even countries and cultures to destroy themselves. The laws are impersonal, they function whether we believe in them or not or have never heard of them.

Our personal challenge is to uncover these great Universal Laws which are hidden and learn to use them for the benefit of ourselves and for the society in which we find ourselves. The place where these laws might be uncovered is in the great silence.

Why the silence?

Your question will be: Why the silence? What can I learn in the silence? There is nothing there!

If you persist in your study and learning to "know," you will learn to contact a great reservoir of Knowledge, a great Universal Mind, where everything from the beginning exists.

In this great Universal thought bank exist all memories which are known to seers and mystics, as Akashic impressions, or Akashic records.

You will be able, if you learn and persist, to enter and understand these records. The key is to learn how to bring your mind in exact accord with the Universal Mind and to enter into a conscious recognition of these Akashic impressions.

Each Entity of the Universe, and this means you, draws upon this intelligence of the Universal Mind. We draw upon it, each according to our mundane and finite capacity. The ease with which we draw upon it depends upon our knowledge of how to attune our subconscious mind to the Universal Mind.

Thought perception or telepathy, as it is commonly termed, is human consciousness operating in the fourth dimension, using the electromagnetic current of the Universe and the sixth sense as a coordinating factor.

Time as we know and measure it on this planet does not exist in the silence. It is also in the silence where the great Saints and the great Masters commune with their Creator.

Why educate yourself?

In our mundane lives, we know that general and unorganized "Knowledge" has no POWER. Power can be wielded only by the organized. Go to any modern library and find the unorganized record of all the knowledge to which our current civilization is heir. There should be power there, but there is not. No organization - no power.

So too with unorganized search for Wisdom! You must have a plan, self-discipline, find the right books, courses and teachers to help you.

You also have a great teacher - yourself - when you learn to listen to your inner guidance. Although we are all the same in essence, our experience is different. Each of us brings our experience and previously learned knowledge to what we read, listen to, and experience.

We also carry deep-seated memories of lives long past where we experienced and learned.

Although we have no conscious memory of this previous existence, our Higher Self has this experience recorded. As we begin and continue our search, our Higher Selves will make use of this past experience, and lead us to greater Knowledge and Wisdom. You will also begin to notice coincidence in your life, and then learn that there is no coincidence.

The deep seated memories of lives long past and remembered by our Higher Selves, may be incomprehensible to those who have no knowledge of reincarnation and Karma. These concepts also may be proven by yourself, to yourself.

We suspect that many of you, who are now reading and resonating with these words, are "old souls" who have incarnated to this planet, and are here to experience and to take part in the "shift" which is taking place on Planet Earth.

If you sense that your purpose in incarnating at this time is to help in the planetary shift, and in the aftermath, it might be wise to "get up to speed" because much help will be needed.

One sure way of getting up to speed will be for you to train, and to learn to use that great unconscious computer which exists in all of us - the subconscious mind - which links with the higher mind. This great personal computer needs to be trained and put to use for the coming Age. The training is available, and individuals of all ages are taking the training, but they are few in number when compared with the general population.

Creating reality.

One thing that many of us do not realize is that we create our own reality, even if we are not conscious that we are creating it. The tools that we use, whether for good or for ill, are our minds and our tongues. The Wise have little to say, unless they are in the presence of those who will benefit from the use of their tongue. In order to create a healthy and enjoyable reality, learn the methods and techniques of guarding your mind and your tongue. Our reality is created by the choices we make, and if you think you are not responsible for your own creation, you are greatly deceiving yourself.

The Wise have also learned that they are what they visualize. They image or visualize themselves and whatever else they desire to bring into their reality. The techniques for this powerful tool are well known.

The Wise also learn in creating their reality, that they have to know what they want. They learn how to write lists over and over again until they have decided what they want. Then they learn to convert their wants into desires and to set goals.

They also learn the laws of habit, and use these powerful laws to their own benefit by creating beneficial habits and becoming slaves to them.

Most of all, the truly wise learn about ego and do not ever allow ego to get in their way or to take control of their lives. They know that ego is a fact of being human and is necessary, but they do know that no matter what they accomplish, be it great or small, they did not do it alone. They are ever vigilant!

Why suffer needlessly?

Whether we are consciously creating our own reality, or are just being pushed along by the current, we often lose sight of why we are alive and why we are here.

We forget that we are immortal souls temporarily inhabiting a human vehicle or body, and that our purpose here is to learn and to serve our Creator.

We become wrapped in the fabric of our careers, and of our daily, personal lives, and we become successful in the eyes of the worldly population. Until one day it hits! Illness! Poverty! Family breakup! Take your pick. It often comes with all three.

Despite the pain and suffering, a period such as this is absolutely necessary for our evolvement as spiritual beings. Many of us are too busy to learn who we are, and will not learn the truth until we face failure and great sorrow. Sooner or later every human being must learn the truth about their Creator, and make a one-on-one personal relationship to The Father.

If we could but learn the truth of our lives, make personal first hand contact with The Father, and free ourselves from our self imposed, three-dimensional limitations, we could eliminate the poverty, the illness, and the early transition from our lives. It does seem a shame that so many of us have to attract trouble or some kind of painful experience into our lives, before we begin spiritual unfoldment.

Our problem is that we don't know that we have to seek our Creator first, despite the fact that many of us have been told by the teachers in our belief systems that this is the case.

We must learn to take responsibility for our own lives as our own creations!

It is part of the process of learning to become a co-creator with our Father, and in learning of our responsibilities to our planet.

Chapter Six:
Choose Wisdom

IF WISDOM is to become part of your life, you must choose it to be so. You must consciously choose Wisdom, and write down the conscious decision, date it, and time it.

If you are not keeping a journal, get a hardcover book for the sole purpose of your journal, and use it. It is important to keep track of your life, especially your conscious decisions. How can you really know if you are making the right choice without a record? A life unmeasured is really a lifetime being wasted. Experience is lost, if not remembered.

Very few realize that choice is a divine gift, given only to Humankind. Animals do not have a right to choose, nor do the Angels. Only Humans have the power to choose and to create their own individual life on this planet, according to their own desires and aspirations.

We have learned that we create our own lives on this planet, whether or not we are conscious that we are doing so. We actively bring into our lives people and events with our thought, which is broadcast through the power of the Universal Mind.

One of your tasks is to learn how this takes place, so that you can access the Universal Mind.

Choice is important! Choose or do not choose, allowing others to choose for you is still a choice. The consequences, whether positive or negative, still have to be borne, even when consequences hadn't been considered.

A dangerous time for some, is the "Teen" years, a critical period, where choices made, sometimes without much thought, can affect a person's whole lifetime. This is an age when decisions are made consciously and sometimes unconsciously, about how far a person is going to follow the path of formal education, and formal professional preparation for a career. This is very critical, because it defines how an individual may spend a huge block of his or her waking time for the next fifty or more years.

Whom a pre-adult associates with, particularly those of the opposite gender, is important, because even at this early age an individual's peers, whether consciously or sub-consciously are choosing their station in life by their thoughts and actions of today.

Those in North America, and in the lesser culturally restricted areas of the planet, have the potential, if they so choose, of a successful life. We all know that it is much tougher, and more demanding for some, than for others, but all have the potential, if they so choose. Some will choose a negative future, but the majority do not know that they have choice, and will be carried along whatever path or future that stronger minds and those who choose, dictate.

Choose Love.

Choose love, laugh more, enjoy the flowers, enjoy good music, good friends, the beauty and joy that Planet Earth presents to you for your use.

Enjoy your time on this planet, remembering that you learn from the beautiful and also the good, as well from that which may be different. You are here to learn. This is schoolhouse Earth. It is your challenge to learn, and to learn to enjoy. Love and laughter are both keys to joy.

Create love and laughter in your own life, and bring it to others. As you know, spirituality is not taught, it is caught and moves swiftly to others. Your challenge is to become one with your spiritual self, and then to manifest a spiritual life.

Constant programming.

The Wise are very aware of what is - at all times! They are aware that we become like the music we listen to. They choose carefully the literature that they read, and the television programs that they watch. Television, they know from the study of their own minds, propels the viewer into an altered state of mind, similar to hypnosis. This removes the barrier of the conscious mind and its judgement, allowing what is being seen to be registered directly and unfiltered onto the subconscious mind. The subconscious does not differentiate the unreal from the real. The Wise also know that unless we exercise judgement, we become like the thoughts we think and the companions we choose.

Our environment, and in particular the electronic media, is constantly programming us with negative images. It is our challenge, if we are to be Wise, to turn this around, take charge of our own minds, and protect the minds of our children from negative programming.

Each one of us is a wonder of our Creator with all of the inherent properties available to us when we learn to take charge of our lives. The difficulty that we encounter is ourselves, as we attempt to construct our lives, with only the knowledge provided to us, through our five senses. The five sensors, which connect us to the plane of the material world, do not allow us to sense beyond their limitations.

Wisdom beckons when we begin to realize that we are constantly misinformed by these five valuable but limited sensors of our material environment, which do not sense all that is.

Chapter Seven:
Get out of the way

THE-WISE-TO-BE, search for Knowledge and practise a disciplined lifestyle, one which they believe will prepare them for the grant of Mastery and Illumination in this or a future lifetime. Knowing that which has been withheld for many lifetimes may be granted in this one, they prepare themselves for the challenges that await them in this new dispensation.

They know that the baby, born obscurely and helpless, is a powerful being of Light, who is merging with matter, to be schooled in the ways with which to achieve Wisdom, so that it might eventually be granted Illumination.

They also know that it may take many lifetimes for the soul, which becomes enamored with matter, to regain its Divinity. They perceive that the infant, potentially Divine, may grow to maturity and pass through transition without ever recognizing, its potential. Never recognizing the Light in ordinary things, never recognizing the glory all about. Never realizing the opportunity, or the necessity of formulating a course of action of its own to restore its Divinity. The soul and the individual alone must choose the path, which it will tread.

What only The Wise-to-be sense, is that there is a path, which we must all at some time follow, and that there is a choice for us to make, now or in a future lifetime.

When we need a prodding to evaluate our human situation, it is often achieved through trouble and suffering, because only sorrow and failure will drive some to bother to learn the Truth. We should not have to suffer, but until we seek "Truth" that will set us free from our three-dimensional cage and the accompanying trials of sin, sickness and death, we must bear the self-imposed burden. Trouble need never come if individuals could realize that they must seek their Creator first. An individual always has the choice of learning from spiritual unfoldment, or by painful experience. Whether it is a conscious decision or otherwise, it is their choice.

The Wise-to-be will also recognize that before a soul can truly take its place in the great scheme of the Universe as a conscious co-creator, that it must learn on Planet Earth the lessons to prepare itself. Up until this new dispensation, there was little choice, and Humankind was forced to undergo countless transitions, as he or she shuttled between the plane of Spirit and the plane of Matter in this endless cycle of "births and deaths." Of course there have always been great souls who understood and who risked everything to master themselves, and some of their lives and achievements, have come down the channels of time, and we revere them as Saints, Masters and the Illuminated.

It is only on Planet Earth, Schoolhouse Earth, this dense plane of matter, that the soul can make the quantum leaps necessary for it to regain its full Divinity. Progress can and is being made by some in the plane of Spirit, but it takes much longer. It is only those who have been granted the gift of human birth to this harsh environment, who can make use of this Earth Plane for quantum leaps to Divinity.

The purpose of becoming human is to provide a vehicle for these quantum leaps, so that Knowledge, discipline and Wisdom may be acquired.

Self-discipline may be a harsh tool, but it is only a tool. Without its being accompanied by Knowledge, it is useless.

For anyone who might consider undergoing the higher training, do not start until you have made your firm decision on "personal discipline." Without the discipline you are wasting your time.

It is necessary, that those individuals, who undergo a higher training, acquire a habit of strict obedience to doing what he or she tells himself or herself to do. They must make decisions on their own initiative, and then command themselves to act upon their own decisions. For example if a decision is taken to meditate at 5:00 a.m. every day, it is necessary to set a personal schedule, so that you can meditate every day at exactly that time. In other words, tell yourself that you are to do this, at this particular hour, and do it. It is not easy, but it is necessary.

As we consider our human condition, we might wonder about something: If our Creator is so loving, and is so close to us, why are we not constantly aware of him? What is stopping us?

The problem is we ourselves! We are in the way. The I or me syndrome is our common problem, known as ego or egotism. This is our enemy!

The catch is that we needed our ego to get this far, but now we need to learn to control it, if we are to go farther. Our troubles stem from egotism, this is a barrier to our Creator, a barrier in our dealing with the world, and it is something that we must learn to understand, and keep under control if we desire to regain our inherent Wisdom.

Knowing about ego is not enough. We must look into our own lives, and hold ego under constant scrutiny. We must grapple with our ego, and it may be a difficult encounter for us to win, but win we must if we are to reach our Spiritual Reality and regain our Divine Wisdom.

The Wise in every belief system have written about egotism, and you might find great value in learning how to handle it by reading some of this literature.

The Wise have also noted that when the false self is eliminated, the Creator rushes in, as room is made for him.

Work on rooting ego out of your affairs, do what has to be done on your task at hand, then step aside and allow what is to be, to be.

Simply said: Get yourself out of the way!

You can be what you will to be. We have the inherent power to define our own purpose, and to shape our own destiny. It is something that must be done alone, but we cannot do it alone. We must learn the technique of doing it to our highest ability, then getting out of the way and allowing it to become. This is a difficult lesson to learn but a necessary lesson if we are to open ourselves to the higher fields of Universal Wisdom.

The seeker of Wisdom also learns what it means to "have no tongue." There is great power in our own speech when we learn what it means to have no tongue, but we dissipate this great power with useless conversation.

Throughout the history of Humankind, the seekers of Wisdom have been very few, as very few are willing to pay the price, and also many do not have the qualifications or the opportunity to stand out from the multitude.

However, those who cannot separate themselves from the multitude through their own direct effort have an ego which demands recognition, even if it is a vicarious recognition. This ego has been satisfied for many, throughout the ages, by association or membership in an established group or organization, which has an acceptable status in their community or society. By this affiliation, a reflected distinction, or dignity is attained, which by their own means, they could not attain.

Because Humankind has a consciousness of a transcendent power for which he has had a reverence, or a fear, he has needed to bridge the gap, to provide a sense of security.

A general sense of security has been provided throughout the ages by religion, a traditional bridge between the natural and the so-called supernatural world.

The Wise and The Wise-to-be, learn to understand that there is no supernatural world, that eternity is now, and that there is no time as we understand it. The Creator is constantly creating according to Law. The Wise know that there are immutable, Universal Laws. If they wish to understand the "Why", then it is time to learn what the laws are and begin to make use of them. The laws simply never change. They operate throughout eternity. Because Humankind does not understand, this does not invalidate the laws. Fire will burn even though you may not believe in fire, and this is so. These laws apply throughout the Universe.

It is Knowledge of Universal Law, which we seek. THE-WISE-TO-BE, search for Knowledge and practise a disciplined lifestyle, one which they believe will prepare them for the grant of Mastery and Illumination in this or a future lifetime. Knowing that which has been withheld for many lifetimes may be granted in this one, they prepare themselves for the challenges that await them in this new dispensation.

Chapter Eight:
The key to your Temple of Knowledge

PROPER MEDITATION is your key and entry to your temple of Knowledge. But it must be the right key! Most forms of meditation as it is taught in the West, will not get you there. Such methods as relaxation, concentration, visualization and affirmations, although very valuable to Humankind, are not what we are considering as the key. It is more the yogic practice of using the mind to focus on one aspect of an idea, or an object, until the mind becomes one with the essence of the subject. To reach this state, the mind must be under control, and freed from all distractions, by withdrawing the life energy from the senses.

With proper focus, and adequate concentration, the mind will be able to pierce through the limitations of the intellect, to attain super-conscious perception. The mind must be under your total control, as this state can not be achieved with a passive, blank mind, or a mind that allows thoughts to enter and roam uncontrolled in your subconscious realm. It takes good teaching, intense will, discipline and time to reach such an advanced state of awareness.

Meditation is essentially a discipline of the mind, for the purpose of bringing it into attunement with the Creator. However, to reach this point, it will take competent teaching, learning to relax, learning to visualize, and even initiation by a competent Master if you desire to learn the mysteries of Light and Sound.

However, be cautious, the term meditation is misused by Western scientists, and others who teach patients and students techniques of relaxation, concentration, stress management, visualization, and affirmations. Some of the methods, although "correct" for their purpose with their clients, may be very counterproductive for the spiritual seeker. It would be wise, not to learn spiritual techniques from a doctor or scientist, but from an authority or Master of yoga.

It is also wise to know that a dead Master is "dead." You may study his life, and his writings, but he is no longer able to initiate you, or to teach you. Revere the memory of the great teachers, but make sure that your Master is alive.

As we grow in wisdom, we also grow spiritually and we become more conscious of an entire Universe. We see, or become conscious, that the Universe is not limited to the five senses, nor are we. Our discovery is that the Universe transcends duality and that everything in the Universe has a level of "consciousness."

We also begin to realize that some of those who departed this planet in Mastery, have quietly come back, to participate in the great plan for the salvation of the planet.

We begin also to understand the implications of the great secret: that our subconscious mind cannot distinguish between facts and imagined facts. We learn that it is most important to guard our minds from erroneous beliefs. We understand that we are the sum total of our consciousness, and that our consciousness is built moment by moment, through what we allow to enter into our consciousness. We begin to guard our own minds, and look carefully at what our children are being exposed to, what they are being taught, who is doing the teaching, and whether the teachers have an agenda.

The seeker of Wisdom will seek to find the secret of the life force and how it may be used for his benefit. This is the force, which we must withdraw from our senses in our meditation to attain super-conscious perception. This force, known and used for many thousands of years by mystics and by yogis is termed prana in the ancient Sanskrit language. The true seeker will find that this prana can be increased and stored within the body by very simple, yet powerful techniques. The many miracles and so on, said to be performed by the great human beings in all parts of the planet and in various cultures and belief systems are due to the intelligent use of this great soul of energy known as prana.

Chapter Nine:
The Great Initiation

THE GREAT LOGOS of the Planet Earth has been undergoing a great spiritual initiation. Mankind as a whole, does not know, or care to know of this great planetary event. This great initiation should have been marked by great ceremonies in public, and in the buildings where spiritual matters are celebrated and taught. The State should have been aroused to take measures to stop the major travesties, and ravages, being perpetrated on Mother Earth in the names of science and progress. What Humankind fails to understand is, that if we do not learn to live in harmony with nature, Humankind will have to be removed and replaced with another life form.

Initiation, in a spiritual sense, is a transfer or connection to a higher energy. In this initiation of Planet Earth, it seems to be the raising of spiritual energies to a higher octave. Some of those with spiritual awareness have known of some of these new energies, and have been experimenting and working with them, as a vehicle for the use of multi-dimensional Humankind.

On the other hand, the many who do not know of the initiation, the new energies or the vibratory frequencies of the coming Age, are suffering from their lack of knowledge, and are prone to sickness and death, as their bodies attempt to cope with a new environment.

Although we in our "modern" world ravage our planet and treat it as a garbage dump in the name of profit, it was not always so. There have been cultures with belief systems which understood, that our planet is a living entity. They seem to have known that we cannot get life from death, and that a dead planet cannot sustain us.

In more recent years a similar concept called the Gaia hypothesis was proposed by a British Scientist, James Lovelock. The Gaia hypothesis proposed that all living things and the chemical and physical environment in which they live, work together like the parts of a vast organism. He presented his Gaia theory at a scientific conference on the origins of life in 1969. No one was interested. However now, many years later, some are beginning to understand.

It is no small wonder that we are on the verge of extinction, and that our planet has to renew itself because we are too busy, and we refuse to open our minds to learn.

It is necessary for human survival for more of the young to seek Wisdom, Mastery and Illumination. It is a lonely and individual task. Many who are reading now have studied at the feet of a Master during previous incarnations, and are ready to be prepared to go on. Some of you, have been, and are Masters and only have a little while longer to discover who you are and what you are here to do. Some of you will have no idea of what we are attempting to communicate, and this is all right too.

The Wise may come from any belief system, culture or social background. What he or she may seem to lack in the challenge of their birthright, they will find by their own search and diligence.

The Wise know that the ultimate aim and end of Humanity's existence is finally to express the Creator…by our works alone, are we known and remembered.

Afterword

Three points have been made. The first is that we must stop ravaging Planet Earth and begin to live in harmony with nature. If we do not, we will be treated as lice, to be eliminated, and our bodies will be destroyed.

The second is that we must immediately establish or strengthen our one-on-one relations with our Creator if we desire to save our souls from aeons of absolute horror.

The third is that we can take personal advantage of the planetary "shift" and take quantum leaps in our spiritual return journey to the Godhead.

For those who desire to make these quantum leaps: immediately begin where you are, and find a teacher. Master what you are taught and take the next step. No one teacher, school, or belief system has all of what you need, so keep looking. There is no "right way." Your inner guidance will lead you to the path, but only after you take action and master what you are learning now. When you actively search, the doors open.
