Higher Worlds and Christ-Consciousness

“There are certain human beings existing who have evolved the higher powers of cognition in addition to the faculties of reason and feeling. It fell upon them to learn the facts of the higher worlds, and especially of the Mystery of the Christ-event by direct super-sensible perception. From these individuals there always flows into the souls of others as much as was intelligible and good for them.

“The first spreading of Christianity was to take place at a time when the capacity for super-sensible cognition was undeveloped in a great part of humanity. And this is why tradition at that time possessed such mighty power. The strongest possible force was necessary to lead mankind to a faith in a super-sensible world which they themselves could not perceive. There were always those, however, who were able to rise into higher worlds through imagination, inspiration, and intuition. These people were the post-Christian successors of the old Initiates, the teachers and members of the Mysteries. Their task was to recognize again, through their own [spiritual] faculties, what man had been able to perceive through ancient clairvoyance, and through the methods of ascent into higher worlds taught in the old Initiations, and in addition to this, to acquire the knowledge of the real nature of the Christ-Event.”

-Rudolf Steiner

Certain Humans

It is true that there have always been people who were predisposed to seek beyond the limitations of the physical realm for something higher and greater. In the earliest days of man, a majority of people had this ability, but as time went on, humanity became more densely material and less spiritual. This caused us to lose touch with God and the Spiritual realm. We have reached a point now where a large percentage of humanity doesn’t even believe there is a spiritual realm or an afterlife of any kind. We have fallen so low that we must turn now and move back toward the higher dimensions of spirit or be trapped in matter forever.

Higher Powers

What Steiner is calling “higher powers of cognition,” we would call today the development of our spiritual faculties, or spiritual Self. This is our Higher Self, our true Self that is permanent, as opposed to the temporary physical body and brain containing the faculties of reason and feelings.

Learn the Mysteries

It did fall upon those few who could learn the mysteries and awaken their higher self to do so and to teach others to do the same. This is true today, perhaps more than ever before. We are in the Last Times, the times when God is changing the universe of matter back into Spirit. He has been doing it over many years to allow humanity to change with it. He isn’t going to force us to change, though, because he gave us a certain degree of free choice. We must each choose to develop our Higher Self and reach for higher levels of Consciousness until we reach the highest level called Christ Consciousness. While the task is difficult because mankind, in general, has sunk so low into matter, we now have the promised Sun of Righteousness shining down upon us with the presence of God within it. The Light from this sun makes it easier for people to awaken and develop their spiritual faculties, but they still need guidance. That is why the Holy Child, Jamil, was sent into the world to start the new spiritual school of Cosolargy and the new Second Advent Church that will lead us into the new Golden Age of Light.



“Dark Matter Solves The Mystery of How Supermassive Black Holes Exist”

 

 

Dark matter could provide supermassive black holes the brakes they need to bring them crashing together at the end of a long, spiraling journey towards their destiny.

According to new mathematical modeling, a conundrum known as the final parsec problem can be resolved by the presence of particles of self-interacting dark matter that remain clustered around the black holes, allowing them to cross the final distance between them.

“New ‘Missing Link’ Black Hole Spotted Lurking in The Galactic Center”

 

 

It seems that we’re finally locating at least some of the Universe’s ‘missing’ black holes.

A cluster of stars called IRS 13 near the center of the galaxy seems to harbor a black hole in its midst. Moreover, the way these stars swarm and orbit suggests that the black hole is a rarity – one in the middleweight mass range, between those that have a star-like mass and the supermassive monsters.

“Astronomers Reveal Stunning Image of Baby Star Coming Into Existence”

 

 

 

 

Wherever the JWST looks in space, matter and energy are interacting in spectacular displays. The Webb reveals more detail in these interactions than any other telescope because it can see through dense gas and dust that cloak many objects.

In a new image, the JWST spots a young protostar only 100,000 years old.

The star is named L1527, and at this young age, it’s still ensconced in the molecular cloud that spawned it. This is one of the reasons NASA built the JWST (with help from the ESA and the CSA.) The telescope can see through dust and gas to reveal the earliest stages of star formation.

“Explorer Eugene Savoy, known as ‘Indiana Jones’, discovered more than 40 lost cities in Peru”

 

 

By Rafael Montoro Sep 10, 2024, 08:24 pm PST

The American carried out several expeditions in the Peruvian jungle and the Andes, obtaining good results. Among his most notable discoveries are Vilcabamba, the last Inca refuge from the Spanish invasion, and Gran Pajatén.

In 1957, the American received an invitation to join an archaeological excavation in Peru, but the project did not materialize.

In the vast lands of Peru, a man whose figure evoked that of ancient heroes, launched himself into adventure with immeasurable determination. His name remained in the shadows for a time, but his exploits expanded with the strength of someone who challenges the unexplored. From 1957 to 1984, this explorer crossed mountains, jungles and rivers with an almost supernatural energy, as if nature itself had chosen him to reveal its best kept secrets.

With his imposing appearance and a fame that extended beyond the borders, this adventurer could well have been the personification of ‘Indiana Jones’, the iconic character of Hollywood cinematography. Like the famous archaeologist, he combined an insatiable curiosity with indescribable courage, facing the dangers of Peru with audacity. His figure rose like a fictional hero made real.

Douglas Eugene Savoy (1927-2007) is the name of the explorer described in the previous paragraphs. The man who first saw the light in Bellingham, Washington, was never destined for an ordinary existence. From the vastness of the north, something greater than himself led him to distant lands, where adventure awaited him with open arms, as if his essence was predestined to conquer the unknown.

His restless spirit led him to transcend the borders of his native country, becoming an explorer of legendary proportions, a man who, far from being contained by the known world, set out to discover the hidden mysteries in the vast lands of Peru and beyond.

Eugene Savoy began his academic training at the Jesuit University of Portland, initially attracted by a religious vocation. However, his passion for ancient cultures and indigenous peoples soon led him to abandon these studies to devote himself to folklore, archaeology, mythology, religion and the ethnography of American civilizations.

In 1957, the American received an invitation to join an archaeological dig in Peru , but the project did not materialize. Despite this, his visit to the Andean country became a turning point. He decided to settle in Peru and embark on an exploration mission that would last until 1984. During this extensive period, he discovered more than 40 lost cities of various pre-Columbian cultures . His work offered Peruvians a new understanding of their historical heritage.

In 1965, upon arriving at Gran Pajatén, Savoy discovered sculptures depicting condors and figures adorned with halos. (El País)In 1965, upon arriving at Gran Pajatén, Savoy discovered sculptures depicting condors and figures adorned with halos. (El País)

Eugene Savoy, the explorer who discovered more than 40 lost cities in Peru

In the 1960s, Douglas Eugene Savoy carried out several expeditions in the Peruvian jungle, the Andes and the Amazon, obtaining good results. Among his most notable discoveries were Vilcabamba , the last Inca refuge from the Spanish invasion, and Gran Pajatén . For the explorer, these sites were tangible proof of his theory on the origin of Andean cultures.

In his view, the roots of these civilizations were not in the Andean valleys, but in the jungle regions. With these discoveries, he challenged traditional conceptions about the origin of Andean cultures

The adventurer shared his experiences about the places he explored in a conversation with Discovery Networks , whose channel broadcast his statements through a documentary. “I explored all of Ecuador, Colombia, Venezuela, (as well as) all the tributaries of the Amazon (…) I found nothing. Honestly, if there were ruins there, I would have found them. They are not there, they are in Peru ,” he said.

For decades, Savoy devoted himself to exploring the most remote regions of Peru. His search for pre-Columbian ruins took him through the vast Peruvian jungle and valleys, discovering ancient cities and villages that had remained hidden. His tireless and meticulous work allowed him to document more than 40 collections of ruins, which are located throughout the country.

Regarding his findings, the explorer said the following: “We found about 40 sites located in 40 different places. (They were) linked by stone paths and each one included between 400 and 500 buildings,” he said in the documentary by the international media.

In 1965, upon arriving at Gran Pajatén, Savoy discovered sculptures depicting condors and figures adorned with halos. Throughout his life full of adventures and explorations, he followed his dreams with determination and managed to obtain these remarkable discoveries.

Historian Santiago Tácunan Bonifacio, in his article “An explorer passionate about Peru,” pointed out the other places that the American discovered. “His history is little known among Peruvians, despite being the discoverer of important archaeological remains such as Vilcabamba (the last refuge of the Incas, in Cusco), the Gran Pajatén (an ancient pre-Incan stone city in the San Martín region), the Gran Vilaya (an intricate stone structure that covers more than 250 square kilometers of dense jungle, in Chachapoyas), among other architectural evidence located in eastern Peru,” he said.

Ultimately, the explorer was not only dedicated to adventure , but also to an intense work of dissemination. Over the years, he produced a wide range of books, articles and essays that shared his discoveries and knowledge with the world. In addition, he contributed to television documentaries that brought his findings and his passion for ancient cultures to a global audience.

 



Two Creators, But only one True God

“And David in the Psalms,’ I believe I see the goodness of the lord in the land of the living.’ He also says, ‘Let your good spirit lead me on a level path.’

Solomon declares, ‘But the just will inherit the earth and live on it forever.’

Christ has ordered ‘not to swear by any part of the sky because it is the throne of god.’

When he says ‘throne’ he is surely thinking of David in Psalms when he says, ‘O god, your throne exists eternally,’

and again Matthew,’ not on earth, for earth is god’s footstool.’

It is our lord himself who adds, in Hebrews,’ because it is his footstool.’

David continues the footstool allusion in Psalms: Fear the lord, our god, and worship the footstool at his feet, for he is holy.

About creation, I wish to confess that our lord god is the creator and author, but not of the elements of the world, which are impotent and empty, and as Paul said in Galatian, ‘How can you now turn back to the impotent and empty elements under which you suffer a new slavery?’

The messenger also says in Colossians,’ If with Christ you died to the elemental spirits of the universe, why do you live as if you still belonged to the world? Why do you submit to regulations: ‘Do not handle, Do not taste, Do not touch’? All these regulations refer to things that perish with use.’

Even less can we admit that our lord is the creator and author of death, and of the things that are, by their essence, in death, because, as it is written in the book of Wisdom, ‘God has not made death, and he does not rejoice at the loss of the living.’

There exists, then, with no doubt whatsoever, another creature or factor, who is the principle and cause of death, of perdition, and of all evil, as we have explained above with sufficient clarity.”

–The Book of the Two Principles

 

In the Land of the Living

The land of the living is the spiritual realm, not the physical realm. In the physical world, everything dies. Some things live long physical lives, others short ones, but all are mortal, all will end, and therefore, in a spiritual sense, it is not living at all since it is temporary. The second sentence in the quote, however, says: “ the just will inherit the earth and live on it forever.” That seems to contradict the idea that the physical world is temporary, but it doesn’t. What Solomon is talking about is a time in the future when the Earth becomes a spiritual world again, and therefore, immortal. In fact, the entire universe of matter will be changed by God back into its original state of Spirit, and that process is already happening. A lot of what is called “global warming” is actually this process of change happening.

Earth is God’s Footstool

The quote cites two different sources for saying that the Earth is the footstool of God. This means it is beneath God, at least in its present state, yet it is important to God as the footstool of a thrown is still a part of the throne.

God is not the Author of the Elements

Here is where we get to the most important point of the quote. God is the author (creator) of REALITY which is the realm of Spirit, but not the creator of the elements, or the realm of matter. The realm of Matter was created by the fallen angels, or as they are collectively called in most Gnostic literature, the Demiurge.

Regulations in the World

Here, we in Cosolargy differ with the directions of the quote. We should not ignore the regulations of the physical world, as recommended by Paul, the false preacher who was not, as he claims, Chosen by Jesus. While it is true that we shouldn’t let the Laws of Man prevent us from our spiritual development, we should still obey the laws whenever possible, and work to change the unjust laws. We do not want to invite the wrath of the world upon us individually as a group, which is what happens when we stop obeying the law. Even the Essenes, who opposed animal sacrifice, sent grain and honey as their required sacrifice to the Jewish temple.

God did not Create Death

This goes along with the idea that the real God did not create the realm of Matter. As the creator only of Spirit, God did not create death, disease, rot, decay, or any of the other ills of the material world. He did not create poverty. The greedy who take far more than their proper share of things do that. So as the quote summarizes at the end, God is not the author of any evil. Evil is from the Demiurge.



“Beyond the aurorae: How solar flares spill out across the Solar System”

 

 

The Sun is extremely active right now, blasting the Earth with the biggest solar storms in 20 years. This is what it is doing to the rest of the Solar System.

If you happened to look skywards on a few nights in May 2024, there was a good chance of seeing something spectacular. For those at relatively low latitudes, there was a rare chance to see the flickering red, pink, green glow of our planet’s aurorae.

A powerful solar storm had sent bursts of charged particles barrelling towards Earth and, as they bounced around in our planet’s atmosphere, they unleashed spectacular displays of the Northern and Southern Lights.

“Missing Dwarf Galaxies Found Near The Milky Way in The Worst Place”

 

 

The Milky Way is not alone in its little corner of the Universe.

Tiny, faint dwarf galaxies, many with as few as a thousand stars, swoop around our cosmic neighborhood on long graceful circuits. It’s unclear exactly how many there are, but there should be a lot more than the 60 or so we’ve found to date.

Astronomers have recently identified two more of these itty-bitty companions, but the news isn’t as problem-solving as you might think. Now, there appear to be too many.
