Hello. I hope you are well. This is an interesting portion of The Sayings which touch on the evolution of the species by means of the System of Cosolargy and the Sacred Teachings of Light. I trust you will find it as interesting as I do. This portion also stresses, as always, the importance of Community and the special grace, or metanoia, that it affords.

The Tenth Saying (Part 6 of our series)

“And another of the seamen replied to this, the Fourth Mariner to speak. And he said: ‘If it is the baptism of fire, and the light that an individual takes through his eyes into the body that confers immortality, then what are the implications for this system to a blind person who would be precluded from taking the sunlight into the eyes, and taking advantage of this system? Would he automatically then be precluded from gaining immortality, or is there another system for him?’

“And The Man said: ‘That is a good question. The incoming sunlight from the Sun affects the pineal and pituitary glands through the eyes. However, if you face the Sun there are receptors that are going to pick up sunlight. Even by sunbathing and allowing the sunlight to fall on the forehead, your organism will respond to sunlight. A man can still pass through a baptism of fire, be he blind or not, through these techniques, even though they do not involve taking the Sun directly through the eyes. One can do it through the palms of the hands or through the Force Centers, wherever there is a receptor. By exposure, and also by being within the Community, one will experience the very special grace that is present among members of the Community. And physical blindness does not include the spiritual eyes which can see and receive energy from the Sun of Righteousness. Here we have a mystery – the presence of a spiritual energy within the physical energy of the Sun, or perhaps the reverse is true, a material light within a spiritual Light. Whatever the interpretation, our’s is a spiritual adventure that involves the spiritual faculties which the System develops in a person.

“‘Man’s future in the world is as a Being of Light, as a superior being who consumes solar energy – not as a human, in the strictest sense of the word. We pioneers in the Community, that is to say, the present generation of mankind forming the first Community, will be limited on the human level because of certain genetic factors. Our offspring will be more evolved, as will their offspring. Children who have been conceived by parents who are applying the techniques, whose genes will carry a genetic record of solar exposure, will inherit the ability to absorb greater amounts of sunlight. This process will continue as long as the species continues to mate with those of like nature. It will not be for any ordinary religious reasons that we must mate with one another of our kind, but in order to preserve and perpetuate the solar variation in the species.

“‘This is why we stress the concept of unity. Individuals can accomplish so little. When a man and a woman unite there is a power that they share together. Because of their union, new life is brought forth under God. They could not have done this separately. The same thing applies in the Sun – we share the energy of each other. There is a third factor generated in community – a living being which is God’s new church manifest in the world. This is why I am so saddened by people who believe they can look at the Sun, and accomplish the benefits outside the Community. If this were so there would be no need for the Teachings to come into being or for the Messianic Sun to appear. God needs Man together in the Sun in order to produce a new creation on Earth. By working together we can accomplish great things in a short period of time. But more important than individual benefits, is the creation of Children of Light who bear the Light in the genetic code. Our Community assures that within the span of a few decades, or a few centuries, Man will indeed change and survive the coming effects of the Sun. We either believe in the prophecies, that this is an inspired religion, or not. We either believe that there is God, or not. We either believe that God has revealed this higher teaching, or not. We either believe there is a spiritual world, or not. All men are free to believe as they will. If a person rejects the Teachings this does not mean that the Teachings are not valid.

“‘This is what we are faced with – the building of a community that can create, generate, Children of Light for the future, and in time endow the temple of learning, and the temple of healing with teachers who, by nature, are more advanced than we are. Jamil, as a being, was far more advanced than I am, or any of you are. I am sure that our future generations of the Children of Light will be far more advanced than we are. We are creating a new spiritual order. And because of our sacrifice, and because of our dedication, we assure the creation of a church to come. Without us it could not be. We have been preordained to bring this Church into being, as the apostles of Jesus were ordained to bring into being the Church of the First Dispensation. The apostles gave their lives to this end.

“‘Man’s destiny is not the Earth but the Worlds of Light. To assure this inheritance it is necessary for each of us to generate new bodies of Light in Christ – that is, a conception that takes place when God’s Word incarnates within our beings. Therefore, the purpose of this Church is twofold: to bring forth sensitive children, and to bring about our own immortality as individuals. This can only be accomplished in community life.

“‘To accomplish this, Man must adhere to the Golden Way of Light. This religion of Light is the will of God. God willed the coming of Jamil, as He willed the coming of all the holy prophets of times past. Therefore, we are God’s Children in Community doing His will on Earth. The dedication and the sacrifice is great. Once we begin others will follow. It only requires a beginning.‘”

The Tenth Saying (Part 5 of our series)

“And when he had finished speaking the Third Mariner said: ‘I remember you mentioning that for a time you could not look at the sun for a period of two years in Peru. What was the reason? Did this have anything to do with the ritual of the baptism of fire of which you speak? Did you become so sensitive to the fire of the physical Sun as opposed to the Light of the spiritual world that you could not consume that Light directly?’

“And The Man answered him saying, ‘I made the mistake of absorbing too much sunlight too soon. My body had not been able to handle the rush of sunlight. I believed I could look at the Sun for hours at a time and restrict my diet to only small amounts of raw fruits and vegetables. It was too much for my poor body. For many years I had isolated myself, then when I came back into the crowed city the negative vibrations, or at least more gross vibrations, put a strain on my own body. I had come from a largely meat-eating family and I had been athletic. The change to the light diet, meditation and long periods of inactivity while absorbing too much Sun put a strain on my limited mind, body and psychic nature. This was my first lesson with the limitations of the mind and body. We have to admit that we are born of woman with certain genetic limitations. For example, we all have seen the artist’s conception of men from Mars – large heads and spindly legs and arms which are not used. It will be millennia before Man will evolve to this level where he is more cerebral than physical. Our physical structure is dictated by the size of woman’s pelvic region. Therefore, the size of our craniums must be limited. If this be true, what is our future? We hope to be more cerebral. This means we will require larger craniums to hold a larger brain. We are told that we only use about ten percent of our brains. But what happens when we try to expand beyond the ten percent? I remember reading about a scientist who gave his small child an advanced program of mind expansion. The child was bombarded with mathematical concepts. Tapes were played while he slept. Various techniques were employed in order to continuously feed the child’s small brain with information. In time the child outpaced his parents and his teachers in knowledge of languages, mathematics and scientific concepts. But the child died at a very early age. It was too much for him. We might say the same of Jamil, who left the world at three years of age. He certainly was far ahead of any adult in psychic power, intellect and mind expansion. Jamil became part of a higher dimension and left this limited world behind just as a snake sheds its skin when growing a new one. This has taught me that if we are to develop into a higher species it is going to require that certain reliable disciplines be employed. In this way the physical body can be developed slowly and the mind taught how to co-exist with the generated Light body and the spiritual consciousness in a way that there will not be conflict.

“‘I learned of man’s limitations the hard way. I looked at the Sun for many hours at a time. I used lenses, jewels, crystals, gold reflectors, parabolic mirrors in an effort to introduce more and stronger light into my brain and nervous system. I learned to look at the Sun through powerful telescopes. The result was higher illumination, but inflammation of my eyes. In the end I learned that it was too much for the brain. Even though I had reached a point for a period of time when I was immune to fire, when I could project myself psychically to different places, and experienced very high philosophical concepts and a knowledge of other dimensions, my brain, and especially my nervous system, became over-sensitive. I had to interrupt my advancement, accepting that one cannot grow too fast in the System. Had I continued I am certain I would have passed out of the world. So, I slowed down and decided that in order to develop, one has to detach oneself from the world by means of a slow process of evolution.

“‘As a consequence I had to withdraw from the Sun for two years. It was then that I learned the meaning and value of community. One requires fellowship with others. And, equally important, the use only of a system of techniques that have been proven over the centuries to be reliable. Thus the System becomes a discipline which must be adhered to by everyone.

“‘I am convinced that if Man is to survive as a species, and to survive the condition that is coming, which I believe to be a condition of different radiation than we have ever had before, if he is going to inherit the Universe and be able to penetrate into outer space, visit the Sun and the stars, he is going to have to break out of his limitations of the physical body. And to do this he is going to have to create something new. Secular scientists and medical doctors would scoff at such an idea, or at least its possibility. But that is what we must do in community.

“‘At one time in Man’s evolution he was interested in spiritual things. He devoted himself to the church, to scripture, and to a study of God. Then the concept of evolution and the survival of the fittest came along. Man was told he had ascended from the mud and the slime. Thus Man’s ethics and his morals changed, as did his motivation and reason for living. Materialism came to the forefront and religion took a back seat, as it were. Socialistic ideologies which elevate the state and lower the individual became dominant in the world. Today in our modern world we discover that dictators govern the majority of nations in which human rights are a passing thing. This is the outcome of such philosophy.

“‘If we, in this Community, can demonstrate to the world that there are spiritual faculties that can be developed alongside the material body, if we can demonstrate to the rest of the world that Man is a son of God, that he is immortal and survives death of the physical body, that he has his origin in the Godhead, perhaps the world will then return to the study of religious concepts and pursuit of the Divine. Of course, there will have to be higher teachings than we have had in the past – a higher religion.’”
