WEEKLY MESSAGE: December 10, 2020

We continue with the lengthy review of the commentary on the Seventeenth Saying of Jamil with The Man continuing to discourse to his disciples at the ancient Kahuna healing temple on the island of Oahu on concepts of self-awareness.

The Seventeenth Saying (Part 5)

“‘Let us return to the idea of self-awareness, the self which we measure ourselves by. Man believes he is a person and an individual; he thinks, ‘Am I going to be immortal? Am I going to be happy? Am I going to be successful?’ That is only one portion of his being speaking or thinking. This is his ego speaking; that part created by his culture or civilization. The animal man cannot speak; that is, organs, glands, nerves, cells, blood, or brain. His organism remains mute. It is only a level or a degree of self-awareness that says ‘I.’ In fact, the individual does not even know all the various entities that exist within him or her on the material, biological level, on the spiritual level, on the psychic level, on the emotional level, and on the mental level. There are hundreds of entities and intelligences within a person.

“‘So who is the ‘I,’ or what is the self? Man is nothing more than any other animal. He consumes specific kinds of food to prevent these kinds from becoming dominant in the ecosystem. He breathes oxygen, a process which in itself contributes to the functioning of the ecosystem. He defecates to fertilize the earth. He is actually being used to keep the planet alive. Man is like a microcosm keeping and sustaining this planet. In a manner of speaking, we are all valves of energy exchange.

“‘Again, what is the self? If you, the self that is talking to me now, were to be imprisoned in the frame of a bird, you would think like a bird. You would be automatically taken over by an instinct that would tell you how to hunt for a worm or for a cereal grain, how to find a mate, how to gather twigs to make a nest, when to mate, when to lay an egg, and how to take care of the young. It would not be you, it would be instinct. And what is instinct? It is a frequency to which you are attuned. If you see yourself as a radio receiver, you may see that you may be only attuned to a certain frequency, and that is all you can hear. If you were suddenly put into the body of a snake, the great ‘you’ would become that snake, and that is all you could become because that biological organism only allows you to think within the ability of that nervous system and brain.

“‘The sun, like other living things, is connected to other stellar systems and receives its energy from these systems. It is not self-generated. It is a carrier of intelligence and information. The sun is so vastly superior to terrestrial bodies that we cannot compare it to a person or animal. That means that the sun is a living creature which is more intelligent than we are. This is very difficult for Western minds trained in Western science to accept because Man, in his arrogance, truly believes he is the most sophisticated creature alive. Our religions tell us we are sophisticated, not our sciences. Science belittles Man. It limits his life span, and sickens him as it is sickening the planet. And this is not to be critical of science, but only to point it out as a limited discipline. Religion tells us that we were made in the Image of God. We do not know what God looks like. He certainly does not look like our transitory material body. In reality, we have secular religions that tell us little about our spiritual nature, our true image. Only a revealed religion teaches us of our true spiritual nature and how to awaken it properly in order to transcend our material nature.

“‘Once we become spiritual beings, we are then made in the Image of God. When we begin to think and function on the level of spiritual Consciousness, we go beyond what the mind conceives, beyond what the physical senses perceive. Once we are projected into the sun and the stellar systems, we transcend the limitations of the material planet. We are then influenced by other intelligences, particularly by the intelligence of the sun itself as a living being, and by those other suns to which it is linked. To be sure, the sun is a valve for energy exchange, just as is Man on a much smaller scale. But the sun is not a mechanical object. Knowledge of our religious science is so far advanced, so far beyond that of our popular, secular religions and churches, that it is difficult for us to explain it.

“‘The Consciousness of a man like Jesus, the Consciousness of a Moses, the Consciousness developed by the great prophets of times past, was so vastly superior to that of theologians, scientists, economists, politicians, statesman and businessmen of the world today that they cannot be compared. The reason most of the great religious leaders never wrote about what they knew was that there was no way to put it into the written word. There was no way to tell people about it because it is beyond the reasoning powers of the mind to grasp its message as conveyed by a written or spoken language. Once one develops Consciousness, one is transported beyond the range of the mind and senses. One becomes allied with the higher intelligences of the sun and beyond, and of those spiritual intelligences beyond everything material; in other words, we become allied with other dimensions and intelligences which are more akin to God. If we conceive ourselves to be only animals, only as material creatures, then we limit ourselves. We become no more important than a squirrel or an elephant or a dinosaur. We can perish the same as so many species did if we do not keep pace with the environment, or if the environment changes.

“‘Because this planet will go on living, it can go on living without Man. If it starts to die, Man can go, and other systems, perhaps plants and microorganisms can keep the planet alive on a more simple level. The planet itself has a purpose in the cosmos. If we think in terms of the planet as being a smaller living organism within the structure of a greater living organism, as a small electron spinning around the nucleus of the sun, the solar system itself being a small atom of a greater living organism, we can see ourselves as rather insignificant. To discover the purpose of the planet and of the material universe as a whole, we must enter into the realms of a greater intelligence and go beyond our material minds and bodies which pass away after a short life. The sun and its intelligence level are the means which can make this possible.’”
