WEEKLY MESSAGE: November 25, 2020

 

 

HEAD OVERSEER’S WEEKLY MESSAGE

 

 

 

November 25, 2020

We continue with the substantial commentary of the Seventeenth Saying of Jamil. This portion of the commentary moves on from curing the material sun to the concept of the multi-dimensional intelligences residing within it. I find it quite fascinating, as I’m sure you will.

The Seventeenth Saying (Part 3)

And The Man continued:

“‘Returning to the concept of the cosmos as a dimension, we need to consider the following points. Are there living intelligences in the sun? Of course there are. One might inquire at this point whether these intelligences are fifth-dimensional or fourth dimensional. One might speculate that these intelligences are fourth-dimensional, or should be fourth-dimensional, because the sun is material, and we know that fifth-dimensional beings inhabit a spiritual world. But since we are discussing the distinction between material and spiritual, let us speculate somewhat.

“‘The fourth dimension, as well as the fifth dimension, must occupy a place in time or space. This place must be within our perceptory range, either by means of our physical or spiritual senses. The only place in the known universe where this could occur is the sun, and when we go to the sun by means of our sense of vision, we immediately enter stellar systems because the sun is interrelated with other sun systems. Let us suppose that solar beings or solar intelligences are representative of the fourth and fifth dimensions; that is, both Light beings and Dark beings exist within the stellar systems. This would indicate that energy radiated from the sun would be filled with intelligences of both Light and Dark beings, and that all information streaming down to earth from the sun in the form of sunlight, and other forms of solar radiation, is ultra-dimensional. Therefore, when we, as solar adepts, look at the sun, we become involved with intelligences higher than our own and that of our planet.

“‘These concepts open up new vistas for the human mind, and especially for our spiritual Consciousness which is a higher faculty of cognition that does not have its origin in the third-dimensional world. It has its origin in a higher dimension which is a dimension just briefly removed from God. We can assume that the higher intelligences and the intelligence of energy from the sun and the stars nourish Man’s true being, which by necessity is nurtured on ultradimensional forms of energy and intelligence. Man’s true being does not live on blood or living creatures; this true being lives on intelligence and energy not generated by the planet. In other words, Man is an ultradimensional being that has his origin in ultradimensional worlds. When he desires to transcend the material world, he must generate, or cause to come into being, a new nature that has direct contact with higher worlds.’”

For those of you in the United States, I wish you a happy and blessed Thanksgiving.

Again, if I may be of any personal service to you, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Very truly yours in Light+,

“One Whole God, One Whole Universe”

 

 

“If we are made, as we are, in the image of God, let us become the image both of ourselves and of God, or rather let us all become the image of the One whole God, bearing nothing earthly in ourselves, so that we may consort with God, and become gods, receiving from God our existence as gods. For in this way the divine gifts and the presence of divine peace are honored.

“Love is a great blessing and of all blessings the first and supreme, since it joins God and men together around him who has love, and it makes the creator of men manifest Himself as man through the exact likeness of the deified man to God, in so far as this is possible for man. This is what I take to be the actualization of the commandments, ‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might, and your neighbors as yourself (cf. Lev. 19:18; Deut. 6:5; Matt. 22:37-39).” ~The Philokalia

In the Image of God

I have covered this before, but I will repeat it. Being made in the image of God refers to our spirit and soul, not our physical bodies. It should be obvious that the physical bodies are not in the image of God, otherwise, we would all look the same. It would also mean that God has a physical body, which He doesn’t. It would also mean that the physical body couldn’t die because God cannot die, yet we all know that the physical body does die unless we are living in a fantasy.

One Whole God

The author of this section of the Philokalia (the book has many authors) advises us to “ become the image of the One whole God.” That is just another way of saying that we must become one with God and share in His Wisdom and Knowledge. It does not mean that we should, with arrogance and excessive egotism, declare that we are God and have no need to develop or change since God is, obviously, perfect.

Become Gods from God

Yes, we can become gods through becoming one with God, but this comes from a great effort of spiritual growth and development. We can no more declare that we are gods simply because we believe we are than we can declare ourselves doctors simply because we buy a used stethoscope. In fact, most spiritual schools and mystery schools frown on us saying that we become gods because it tends to promote egotism in those who are not sufficiently developed on the spiritual side to understand what it means. They generally prefer to say that we become angels, helpers of God, or co-creators with God, rather than saying we become gods. So while what the Philokalia says here is true, it is better to say the same thing with different words to prevent any hubris.

WEEKLY MESSAGE: November 18, 2020

 

 

HEAD OVERSEER’S WEEKLY MESSAGE

 

 

 

November 18, 2020

Let’s resume the commentary from last week.

The Seventeenth Saying (Part 2)

And The Man continued to say to the Companions of the Way:

“‘As adepts we look at the physical sun, believing we can bring about its cure. We do it not by focusing on the physical sun but on the spiritual Sun of Righteousness. We do this not by means of our mind, will, or emotions but by a developed spiritual Consciousness. This is to say that an adept who has learned to apply the formulas and rites in the proper way can influence the spiritual Sun and have a positive effect on the material sun, whereas secular persons would only contribute to the death of the material sun by infecting it with their negative and materialistic thoughts, thus resulting in the death of the planet.

“‘Spiritual solar adepts are cognizant of the spiritual Sun behind the physical sun, and of the True Earth as it exists in its original form, not just of what is perceived by the perceptory senses, or of that which is registered by the mind and emotions.

“‘Secular scientists account material phenomena and discount spiritual phenomena. They look at the result as opposed to the source, to the effect as opposed to the cause. They judge the solar system by what they perceive with their senses or by means of their instruments or machines. Secular science is just what its name implies – material science. The sun nourishes the solar system with energy in its diverse forms. Scientists look at this energy as a source of energy to be applied in a practical manner. They do not acknowledge the existence of an intelligence within that energy. When they use energy they discount this intelligence factor and the laws governing it. We, of this religion, being spiritual scientists, consider that the sun is a source of intelligence or information – this was recognized in ancient days by the Greeks, Romans, Persians, Chinese, Indians, Mexicans, Peruvians, and peoples of many other cultures who recognized and conceived the sun to be a living being with an intelligence as opposed to an inanimate object, such as a ball of fire, and that the human race with all of creation evolved by this solar intelligence and by the Intelligence of God.

“‘All living things on the planet are influenced by the intelligence of the living sun and the planet, and these intelligences are stronger than their own. This concept clashes with the modern world’s idea that every person possesses free will. So the cosmos, being filled with energy radiated by the sun and star systems, holds sway over the sensible world and the intelligible world, to use the old Roman terminology, by the intelligence factors within the energy or radiation. The cosmos is a material dimension which is governed by energy and radiation. The material world is governed by the radiation and intelligence of the sun in the same way the physical sun receives its energy and intelligence from other suns or star systems. Thus, when we consider the material universe, we must consider that it is more extensive than the small globe we call Earth. Our planet Earth represents only a small part, an insignificant part, of what constitutes the material universe. The material universe is endless if perceived by the senses. If measured by the perceptory senses or studied by the mind it cannot be finite because it has had no beginning and therefore can have no end. Thus, the material universe is beyond the logical or rational mind. The cosmos has no beginning or end for us because we cannot perceive this beginning or end; it is beyond our capacity to do so. If scientists were to examine the end of the universe, that point where it appears to end, that ending would be a beginning because light expands out in all directions at a speed faster than our senses can perceive it. For this reason, the material universe cannot be measured or even understood by a materialistic science that excludes the origin and very nature of the universe.’”

“In Pursuit of Happiness”

 

 

We are clearly living through a time of transition. Many are realizing their authentic selves and claiming their truth. Such quests should go hand-in-hand with the pursuit of happiness. In my last blog I quoted the first line of the Desiderata. The very last line is equally valid: Strive to be happy.

Last week, the Melbourne Institute (University) released its annual report known as HILDA: Household, Income and Labour Dynamics in Australia. It aims to measure the material factors of our lives, such as finances, work, health. The latest survey shows that over the past two decades, Australians’ life satisfaction has been fairly constant at relatively high levels, driven by basic factors such as health, safety and social contact.

Does satisfaction equal happiness? In an attempt to find out, researchers need to know not just what people have and don’t have, but how they feel – what they call subjective well-being (SWB), including happiness, life satisfaction, and positive affect.

“Eye of God in the Spiritual Sun”

 

 

 

“‘Let me hear whatever any one may have told you’. ‘Barku, the son of Vrsna, has told me that the eye (sun) is Brahman’. ‘As one who has a mother, a father and a teacher should say, so has the son of Vrsna said this—that the eye is Brahman. For what can a person have who cannot see? But did he tell you about its abode (body) and support?’ ‘No, he did not’. ‘This Brahman is only one-footed, O Emperor’. ‘Then you tell us, Yajnavalkya’. ‘The eye is its abode, and the ether (the Undifferentiated) its support. It should be meditated upon as truth’. ‘What is truth, Yajnavalkya?’ ‘’The eye itself, O Emperor’, said Yajnavalkya; if a person, O Emperor, says to one who has seen with his eyes, “Have you seen?” and the latter answers, “Yes, I have”, then it is true. The eye, O Emperor, is the Supreme Brahman. The eye never leaves him who, knowing thus, meditates upon it; all beings eagerly come to him; and being a god, he attains the gods’. ‘I give you a thousand cows with a bull like an elephant’, said Emperor Janaka.” ~Brihadaranyaka Upanishad

The Sun As the Eye of God

This Upanishad says that the “eye (sun) is Brahman,” or as I would say it, the sun is the eye of God. That should not be taken in a very literal sense, since God has no physical body and no eye in the normal sense of what we think of as an eye. Yet it is true because the sun is a link, a portal, between Heaven and Earth, between the physical and the spiritual. So God doesn’t “see” us through the sun, but he does sense us with spiritual senses. Likewise, we can sense God and communicate with Angels and other high-level beings by using the sun as if it is the Eye of God. Of course, this won’t work if you are dealing only with the physical sun. You need to go beyond ordinary sun-gazing with the physical sun to spiritual sun-gazing with the spiritual sun. The sun, of course, has a spiritual self, as do all beings and things. It is because of that duel nature that it can act as a portal between the realms, a window between heaven and earth, the Eye of God.

“Dr. Jerry Tennant: Voltage and Regeneration | Electricity of Life”

 

 

One of the leading pioneers in integrative health is Dr. Jerry Tennant, a renowned ophthalmologist whose book series “Healing is Voltage” describes his groundbreaking research into the body’s electrical circuitry in this video.

At EU2017: Future Science, Dr. Tennant presented, “Healing is Voltage – The Physics of Emotions,” which focused on the mind/body connection, and how emotions are stored in and around the body as magnetic fields. He discussed how these magnetic fields can cause harmful biochemical effects and create blockages in the associated muscle battery packs, which provide the necessary voltage for organs to function and repair themselves.

Recently, he offered a series of presentations as part of a Continuing Medical Education class for Naturopathic Doctors in Arizona. Dr. Tennant and his group have kindly granted the Thunderbolts Project permission to feature these lectures in their Electricity of Life label.

In this introductory episode, Dr. Tennant begins with a summary of his remarkable personal and professional journey. He then lays the theoretical and evidentiary foundations for his research into the body’s complex wiring systems and his establishment of healing protocols.

Dr. Jerry Tennant is board certified in ophthalmology and ophthalmic plastic surgery (residency, Harvard Medical School and Southwestern Medical School). He was the Director of the Ophthalmic Plastic Surgery Clinic at Parkland Hospital in Dallas and practiced from 1965 to 1995. He did much of the FDA study for the VISX Excimer laser and performed approximately 1,000 surgeries in the United States and Europe. In addition, Dr. Tennant was the founder/director of the Dallas Eye Institute and one of the first surgeons in the USA to place intraocular lenses in eyes after cataract surgery, and taught these techniques around the world. He holds patents for medical devices including intraocular lenses and several surgical instruments. While licensed in Arizona by the Board of Homeopathic and Alternative Medicine, Dr. Tennant is currently the Director of the Tennant Institute for Integrative Medicine.
