HEAD OVERSEER’S WEEKLY MESSAGE
December 16, 2020
This portion of the commentary of the Seventeenth Saying of Jamil continues to treat on the state of health of our sun and moves into the realm of the cosmic battle between the Powers of Light and the Powers of Darkness.
The Seventeenth Saying (Part 6)
“And the Second Mariner posed a question: ‘Are the physical manifestations of the disease in the sun related to solar flares and increased sunspot activity observed for a number of years by members of our own Order and by secular scientists?’
“And The Man thought deeply for a long while, then answered saying, ‘Astrophysicists have observed regular blemishes on the surface of the sun as a result of solar flares in eleven and twenty-two-year cycles. In recent years these cycles have become unstable. Observers of our own Order have been measuring these solar disruptions for more than twenty-two years*, noting that the disruptions are the result of deeper causes within the sun which can be related to the earth’s state of affairs: or perhaps the reverse is true. In any event, the sun and the earth are interrelated, and sunspots and solar flares reflect this interrelationship.’
“And again the Second Mariner spoke, ‘Is the deeper cause of solar activity perhaps related to the allegorical celestial war between the Sons of Light and the Sons of Darkness; that is, the battle between the fifth- and fourth-dimensional levels of being as suggested in the scrolls of the Dead Sea that appear to describe the ideas and beliefs of the Essenes of Israel?’
“And The Man answered the Mariner saying, ‘The nature of the sun, or its state of health, reflects conditions upon the earth and within the sun itself. The Essenes realized this and wrote of it. Often our adepts look at the sun seeking light and energy, love and peace, and oftentimes they receive the opposite, which indicates that the sun is ill at times. It is like looking at a healthy flower that gives beauty to the eye and a pleasant aroma to the nostrils. If the flower is dying, it appears ugly and gives off a putrid smell.
“‘The best way to answer your question is by saying that adepts of the sun have observed that the health of the sun is affected by the Darker celestial beings that control the movements of the earth, or at least affect it with negative and disruptive thoughts which cause wars and social upheavals. Their influence upon the earth is enhanced by Man’s loss of the sacred teachings and inability to resist the Darker influences. Even if an ordinary person, who is not trained properly in how to combat the adverse effects, were to look at the sun, as do members of our Order, the sun would continue to be brutalized by the Dark thoughts generated by Dark beings within the sun who influence its life, and therefore influence all other bodies within the solar system that depend upon this energy for light, heat, and thus life itself. It would seem from all that has been revealed to us, and by what has been written in the sacred scripture of holy orders of ancient times, that a cosmic war between the Powers of Light and Darkness actually takes place within the sun and upon the earth. Sunspot activity has been related to economic upheavals, social unrest, wars, revolutions, plagues, famines, floods, and drought. The planet and Man are regulated by cycles and by forces outside of his world, just as animals and all other living things respond to the environment as determined by conditions not of their making.
“‘If the adepts are not taught how to properly combat the Darker influences from the sun, they are not going to be able to overcome them in order to restore the sun to a state of health. Therefore, the existence of our School has a reason – to train adepts in the proper way to bring about favorable changes in the sun. We affect the sun through Christ Consciousness – not by mind, or emotion, or the psyche, nor by the rational, logical reasoning processes – only by developed spiritual Consciousness. As we know from our study of theology, Christ Consciousness governs energy and light.’”
Please pay special attention to the last paragraph. It is of the utmost importance. We will continue with these themes next week.

“Great Expectations”
For the Star Above the Christmas Tree
A total eclipse took place on 14 December – not visible from where I live – just a week before the Solstice and Great Conjunction due on 21 December. These fall in the same week as Christmas, so there are many people around the world looking forward to a period of brightness and joy, however brief, as respite during what has otherwise been a time of gloom and disappointment.
For those observing the conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn in the night sky with their naked eye, it might appear as one bright star, reminiscent of the one that was said to have appeared as a guiding sign in the heavens at the birth of Christ. German astronomer, Johannes Kepler, wrote in 1614 that he believed the ‘star of Bethlehem’ in the Nativity story could have been a conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn.
A number of commentators who are respected in the ‘new age’ community believe that there will be a division of people, as the planetary Schumann resonance rises. That used to be pegged at 7.83 but has been rising and expected by some to settle permanently at over 110hz, separating humanity into two different vibrational frequencies. This sounds a bit like the “rapture” expected by some Christians, where two men will be in a field, one is left behind while the other is “taken” as if to move into a different dimension.
My personal view has always been that everyone needs to work on their own spiritual wellbeing, rather than wait on an external source to deliver ascension to them. Today, just like every other day, at least 150,000 people have died around the globe. For them, that is their personal “end time.” Whatever your beliefs are, you need to put them into practice in the morning, because there is no guarantee you’ll still be here in the evening.

“Secret Fire of the Alchemists and Mystics”
“IN H. P. Blavatsky’s ‘The Voice of the Silence,’ the secret fire of the Alchemists is described as ‘Kundalini,’ the ‘serpentine,’ or annular working power in the body of the ascetic. ‘It is an electric fiery occult or Fohatic power, the greatest pristine force which underlies all organic and inorganic matter’; and in another place the author says: ‘it is an electro-spiritual force, a creative power which, when aroused into action, can as easily kill as it can create.’
“This point is the reason why the secrets of Alchemy are not divulged to the curious, and why only those who have gained the power to control their own self will be told how that power can be aroused in man.
“In regard to this ‘secret fire,’ the Rosicrucians say:’The potentialities in nature are aroused by the action of the secret fire, assisted by the elementary fire. The secret fire is invisible, and is contained within all things. It is the most potential and powerful fire, with which the external visible fire cannot be compared. It is the fire with which Moses burned the golden calf, and that which Jeremiah hid away, and which seventy years after was found by the knowing ones, but which by that time had become a thick water.’
“Without the possession of this magic fire, no alchemical process can be accomplished.” ~Franz Hartmann
Secret Fire of the Alchemists
As has been explained in several previous articles on this blog, the real purpose of alchemy was not to change one type of metal into another but to change the lead man of materialism into the gold man of spirit. So when Hartmann speaks of the secret fire of Alchemists, it could as easily be called the secret fire of spiritual awakening and spiritual development, or the secret fire of the mystics.
This secret fire is not a fire in the material sense, and most modern spiritual schools prefer to call it Light or Spiritual Light rather than fire. Because it is a spiritual thing, it is impossible to accurately describe in languages created to describe the physical world. So fire, light, energy, force, and others are all reasonable accurate, but not exact. And the secret fire is secret in two ways. One, it is invisible, unnoticed, by materialistic people. Two, when you look at others, unless you are very advanced in your spiritual studies, you cannot tell how much spiritual fire, if any, a particular individual may have.
Occult Fohatic Power
Blavatsky adds that the secret fire is an occult or fohatic power. Fohat, according to Blavatsky, is an old Tibetan term for this force or energy. The importance of that word being used is that Fohat is defined as being active. It isn’t just a secret fire that doesn’t do anything. It is an active force that is working all the time. The work it is doing is to awaken and develop souls and converting (or transforming) matter back into its original state as spirit. This is all happening under the direction of God, of course, but we have a part in it also.
God made us to be co-creators with Him. That doesn’t mean we are free to puff up our egos and arrogantly create whatever we feel like creating, as in the manifesting practices that have become so popular in recent years. It means that we are to create and transform with God’s Great Plan in mind at all times. And we create with the energy of the secret fire that is around us at all times.

Various plasma instabilities are found on Jupiter.
NASA launched the Juno spacecraft on August 5, 2011. Its primary mission includes analyses of Jupiter’s massive plasmasphere: how do its electromagnetic influences affect the Jovian system. Since Jupiter radiates more energy than it receives from the Sun, astronomers think that some kind of internal dynamo, acting like a generator, “must be” creating the excess. However, there are processes occurring on Jupiter that are now coming to light.
Jupiter is an electrically active world, far more so than computer simulations predicted. Based on what was surmised about Jupiter, a 5 gauss magnetic field was assumed to exist. When Juno entered orbit and began its scientific measurements, levels as high as 9 gauss were found. Compare those readings to Earth’s .5 gauss field and the enormity of Jupiter’s electromagnetic energy can be deduced. Its field is also irregular, leading some astrophysicists to suggest that there is an anomalous structure in Jupiter’s core.

WEEKLY MESSAGE: December 10, 2020
HEAD OVERSEER’S 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.’”
Again, if I may be of any personal service to you, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Very truly yours in Light+,

“Intuitive Consciousness and Attaining It”
“In many temperaments of the unstable or artistic type, the intuitional consciousness of the Absolute becomes ungovernable: it constantly breaks through, obtaining forcible possession of the mental field and expressing itself in the ‘psychic’ phenomena of ecstasy and rapture. In others, less mobile, it wells up into an impassioned apprehension, a ‘flame of love’ in which the self seems to ‘meet God in the ground of the soul.’ This is ‘pure contemplation’: that state of deep orison in which the subject seems to be seeing, feeling, and thinking alll at once. By this spontaneous exercise of all his powers under the dominion of love, the mystic attains that ‘vision of the heart’ which, ‘more interior perhaps than the visions of dreams or ecstasy,’ stretches to the full those very faculties which it seems to be holding in suspense; as a top ‘sleeps’ when it is in a fast spin. … This act of contemplation, this glad surrender to an overwhelming consciousness of the Presence of God, leaves no sharp image on the mind: only a knowledge that we have all been lifted up, to a veritable gazing upon that which eye hath not seen.” ~Evelyn Underhill
Artistic Types
I would first like to disagree with Ms. Underhill in lumping together the artistic and unstable types. While it is true that some great artists have been mentally unstable, I think they are a minority. Most artistic types are perfectly sane. But they do tend to be more sensitive than the average person, and they may well be what makes them artists. Maybe she meant autistic types and the book has a typo. In any case, she is correct in saying that the intuitive power generally comes to people in one of two ways, and affects each type differently.
Ungoverned Intuitive Consciousness
When intuitive consciousness breaks through to one without being sought, or without being understood, it may do it in a forceful and undesirable way. It may cause unexplained joy and ecstasy, or it may cause fear of something for no known reason. In more extreme cases, it may cause such psychic phenomena as a type of speaking in tongues where the person suddenly starts speaking in a language they do not know. Or it may cause a person to levitate, or glow with an inner light. Many think such phenomena is desirable, but it is rarely useful when uncontrolled.
In the case of unexplained fears, it may be useful but isn’t always. We have all heard the stories of people who suddenly felt that they should skip a flight they were scheduled to take, or a cruise they were supposed to go on, and later the plane crashed or the ship had an emergency at sea. That is all great. It is a good thing those people get that warning. But what you never hear of is the people who suddenly became fearful and canceled their flight or their cruise, and nothing happened. While I haven’t done a scientific study on it, I bet such people outnumber those who got a reap premonition by at least ten to one. So this type of intuitive consciousness is unreliable when not developed with discipline.
