Birth of The Holy Child, Jamil (1959)

Fifty-nine years ago today, a miraculous and wondrous Seer Child came into this world leaving a spiritual legacy that continues to inspire seekers of truth around the world. Our School and Community preserve this legacy to assure that those evolved people for whom it was intended may fall heir to the transforming Teaching he revealed.

The story of Jamil is recounted in the book of the same name. Fourteen additional texts speak of the Prophecies and Sayings of The Child. However, it is important to understand that these written words are supplemented by our the Oral Teachings, which we are privileged to receive in the Sacred College. Without the Oral Teaching, the written word cannot be fully understood. This follows in the tradition of all the Holy Masters, including the Buddha, Zoroaster, Quetzalcoatl, Jesus and the Messianic Church whose mystics transmitted concealed teachings to their disciples by word of mouth. This practice was the standard of instruction in the early Christian Church which preceded the later open and public churches.

Jamil restored the secret oral Gospel that was lost with the martyrdom of Jesus and his disciples and immediate followers. Now restored, the secret Oral Teaching constitute a regenerating process which gives new meaning to the mystery of Christ Jesus’ message and extends to the sincere seeker the authentic methods utilized by early Christians and others for rebirth of the spiritual Light Body or Soul. This divine Process has not only been restored, but it has been amended and supplemented with vital new techniques and information for use by modern people in modern times existing in totally new environmental conditions. Once experienced by those applying the Process, which we call the System of Cosolargy and the Sacred Teachings of Light, the transforming process testifies to the power and truth of universal cosmic laws.

That an authoritative Seer Child would appear in modern times is not without prophetic and scriptural precedent spanning many thousands of years. The Dead Sea Scrolls of the Essenes of which Jesus was a part mention an expected Wondrous Child bearing unmistakable body marks who would come at a future time to inaugurate a new age. The Prophet Isaiah tells of a coming time of peace when “The wolf shall life with the lamb, the leopard shall lie down with the kid, the calf and the young lion and the fatling together, and a little child shall lead them.” And even Jesus says “Whoever welcomes one such child in my name welcomes me.” Even in the mystical Gospel of Thomas, Jesus says to Thomas “Let the old man heavy with days hesitate not to ask the little child of seven days about the place of life, and he will live.”

Ancient Persian books speak of a coming child who will leave the world but who will manifest himself out of the Light. He is referred to as the Child of the Word. Various Jain and Buddhist scriptures also speak of this Child who would come to fulfill Man’s longing for universal peace and tranquility under a just and creative cosmic power. And, ancient Indian mythic tradition tells of the Miraculous Babe, the Mahapurusa Cakravartin, who would come into the world at a future time. He would proclaim that the old Sun would experience a transformation and that a new Sun would shine healing rays upon all living things equally without distinction. Indeed, the Cakravartin’s symbol is the sun wheel itself.

Islamic legend tells of the coming of the Man of the Mahd (cradle), the Mahdi or the Divinely Guided One, with whose advent mankind will experience and enjoy greater blessings than ever before. He is said to be marked with the Seal of Prophecy. Even in ancient Egypt, in the center of the Temple of Annu, was the great Hall of the Child with a depiction of a Sun Child sitting in a lotus.

We can also cite from the Zoroastrian Zend Avesta, as well as from the Sibylline Oracles. Even Rome’s Virgil treats of the Wonder Child of God to be sent as a king from the Sun at whose birth the transformation of nature and the intensification of the Golden Age signs would begin: “But at the time when heavenly grace shall rule, and when a holy child shall utterly destroy all wickedness, opening for baleful mortals the abyss.”

Jamil appeared in our modern age. He was a Messenger of Light whose revelations give new hope for humanity’s spiritual aspirations. As God’s Messenger, as the Brother to all previous Messengers, he endowed the world with keys to salvation. That he passed out of this world at the age of three years is in keeping with the Mandaean prophecy that tells of the Messenger of Light returning to immortal realms:

“I am the Messenger of Light whom the great God sent into the world. The true Messenger am I in whom there is no falsehood. Whoever receives God’s word and doctrine, his eyes are filled with light and his mouth is filled with praise and his heart is filled with wisdom…I prepared a way for the good ones and made a gateway for the world…How many times have I come into the world? How many times they took not notice of me. With my final proclamation I depart the world never to return. My spirit and soul return to God.”

WEEKLY MESSAGE: March 8, 2018

 

 

HEAD OVERSEER’S WEEKLY MESSAGE

March 8, 2018

Last week, we were touching on the subject of God’s New Covenant with His People and how this New Covenant is intended for all members of the human family. And in our Teaching of Cosolargy, we teach that God’s Grace is being shed through the Sun of Righteousness as Spiritual Light.

By living The Way of Light under the Spiritual Sun, our Spirits of Light are regenerated into Living Souls. We thereby become Angels of God made in His Likeness and Thought. Humanity’s evolution back to the Godhead is possible only by application of certain principles that bring about a change within the human Spirit by means of Creative Powers. It is not possible in any other way. This is a universal concept taught by all the great Holy Teachers. The evolved Spirit, by its use and application of Creative Powers under God’s Law and within the spiritual Community, is capable of having great positive change in the world because Spirit is stronger and more powerful than matter.

God’s People are always those created in His Image – those reborn of Spirit, not those of the Earth. Jamil’s purpose in coming into the world was to proclaim the Advent of God in Light. He left this world to return to the Source of his Being. Angelic Beings, such as he, come in human form from out of the Light from time to time in the history of Man to transmit Knowledge of God. This Knowledge is evolutionary and increases in intensity, purpose and importantly information with each succeeding Messenger. Jamil’s mission as the Eternal Child of Light parallels Jesus’ ministry. They both, inspired by the Image and Word of God, assumed human form in order to reveal The Way and the coming of God into the Universe.

God’s Messengers make divine proclamations. They herald the coming of God’s thearchy on Earth. They announce God as the Light of the world who now intercedes in world affairs by His visible immaculacy, first by the Image and the Word, and then through the Sun. They declare God’s imminent return and direct rule over Creation by progressive restoration. They are the first anointed by God. They are the forerunners who signal God’s intention to anoint every human being who accepts the Gift of Salvation and Redemption from the world of matter. They are the sons and daughters of Man. They are the Sons and Daughters of God obedient and consubstantial to God in the Image and the Word by which they are made eternal.

In this New Advent of God, God alone is Redeemer, Savior and Restorer. He has revealed His Divine Presence as the Image of Himself in Great Light, which is the True Intercessor, and the sole means of approaching Him. Within this Great Light is found God’s Intelligible Thought which communicates with the sentient Soul giving it Consciousness and empowering it with spiritual perception, memory and comprehension of the Divine.

With God’s appearance in the Sun, the human family has access to Creative Powers. As said, when put to use by the human Spirit, these Powers allow the human being to transcend the material universe and to penetrate into spiritual Realms. We know the material universe is undergoing change. But, just as the material sun that supports all biological life on Earth, so the spiritual Sun supports all spiritual Life and nourishes the Soul. If we believe that Man is more than just a biological species in contact with mutable life forces (which we do), then we have the potential to communicate with divine Intelligence which shapes and molds our spiritual Consciousness.

If the human species on the individual and collective levels is to survive the changes occurring in the world and the Universe, it must transcend its own mortality by a slow process of genetic change made possible through exposure to the physical energies emitted from the sun. In this way, and while at the same time, emerging as a new spiritual Species under the influence of the Light from the spiritual Sun, will the human species will be able to break away from out-worn social and religious customs that have shaped and enslaved it to environmental conditions which are now mutating. Only by these means will the races and the world be restored. This is the purpose of the System of Cosolargy.

Once again, please feel free to ask me any questions by calling 775-786-7432 or emailing me at messages@cosolargy.org. I am always at your service.

WEEKLY MESSAGE: February 27, 2018

 

 

HEAD OVERSEER’S WEEKLY MESSAGE

February 27, 2018

We touched last week on the New Covenant established by God with His True People. Unlike previous covenants, this New Covenant is one of Light and is intended for all members of the human family to share in equally. Although revealed religions have come in times past under the influence of the Powers of Light, materialistic intentions under the influence of the Powers of Darkness have succeeded in overcoming the Good done by the Holy Ones. Nevertheless, the Spirit of Man is strong, and there are always those few who remain to struggle against Evil and Darkness.

However, it is important to understand that the acts and energies of evildoers, as well as those of the ignorant, have corrupted the sun which now is in the throes of revolution causing intense changes to mount. In this Last Age of the Earth – the End Times – God has come, as prophesied, with the transformation of the sun and the energies therein and has willed a regeneration of people brought out of all the races of the Earth to form a New Community of Light.

This New Community of Light is established to teach people the power of the Spirit to do Good, and that the sun registers the effects of serving Light or Darkness in the very forces that maintain the Universe. If people would realize this, they would turn from the ways of ignorance and submission to dark powers. This is God’s desire – for Man to break from the hold of Darkness which is the Power responsible for our descent into matter and which binds us to suffering, pain, illness, and eventually death in a never-ending cycle. If people only realized that this life, as the Buddha taught, is but an illusion with no real existence of its own, they would embrace God and the Light, the Spiritual Worlds, and the True Life offered where life never ends.

It is also important to understand in these times that the world, ruled by secular and materialistic powers, plays a dangerous game of unending strife, misery, war and instability that compounds the interplay of cosmic and solar forces and which aggravates the revolution of the elements of nature with which they are involved.

Spiritual life begins with acceptance of order and the turning away from disorder. This is realized by means of the Image and Word incarnate within the Sun of Righteousness over a period of one’s spiritual evolution which results in a return to the True State of Life, which is Man as brought forth in the original Creation before the descent into Darkness and matter.

God extends the means by which all people everywhere can experience True Life. This Life has its beginning in the Spiritual Sun which is a gateway to another world, a world which is a source of Light. This Community has appeared to teach a system of spiritual regeneration from out of that Sun. It is our contention that the races of the world have a right to life, as well as a right to know this Teaching. God wills that we begin our evolution back to the Godhead from where we originally descended.

However, this process begins with us on Earth in our present material form. It then leads us into the sun and the stars and beyond to other worlds and dimensions. We may not comprehend these other worlds or dimensions with our limited physical minds/beings, but that does not mean that our Spirits, which are capable of possessing unlimited Consciousness, don’t.

It can be the destiny of the human family to inherit Eternal Life, for we are heirs to a Divine World made without blemish that we were given in the beginning of Creation. However, if we are to be worthy of this inheritance, we must first aid and abet the Powers of Light in ridding the world of Evil and the Powers of Darkness. This first requires access to the Powers of Light; second, a Knowledge of the Divine; and third, an understanding of time.

I would like to comment further on this next week.

Once again, please feel free to ask me any questions by calling 775-786-7432 or emailing me at messages@cosolargy.org. I am always at your service.

WEEKLY MESSAGE: February 20, 2018

 

 

HEAD OVERSEER’S WEEKLY MESSAGE

February 20, 2018
Commencement of The Great Work (1962)

Winter has finally arrived here in the high desert of the Sierra Nevada. We were fortunate to experience two most enjoyable and profound sunrise vigils during the Christmas-Epiphany Season (December 25 – January 6) and during Advent (January 30 – February 6). However, cold and some snows have now settled in for a while.

February is a most profound month in The Community’s Sacred Calendar. We are familiar with the events that transpired from January 29/30 through February 6 in 1962 – the passing of The Child, Jamil; the birth of the Sun of Righteousness; and the manifestation of The Comforter which are vividly recounted in Jamil: Child of Light. On this day, February 20, also in 1962, the Great Work began. Twenty years later, on February 14, 1982, the Testament of God’s New Covenant was proclaimed at the Consecrated Sanctuary. It is on this New Covenant that I wish to briefly focus on today.

The Holy Teachings and Doctrines of the Prophets of God – the former covenants made between God and His True People – have been lost to the religions of the world but have been repossessed by the Second Advent Community. Our New Community, small but not insignificant, is animated by God’s Image and Word manifest in the Heavens. Our liturgy is sacred because it is the same used by Jesus and other Holy Orders – a solar liturgy no longer in use by any church, any order or any religion. It has been re-instituted by God and the Light. Just as Jesus, and the Buddha before him, came to supplement the old with the new, so this Community comes with Divine Authority to supplement the old with the new.

It cannot be denied that God’s Covenant has been lost. How many times has it been twisted and changed into various meaningless faith and belief systems? But, in this Advent of God, God wishes to restore the Covenant and enlighten the peoples of the Earth so that they might not continue in illiteracy of Divine Doctrines. Unfortunately, the Powers of Darkness resist this illumination of the human family. In league with the nations of the world who have assumed full control and authority over the races, they foster and promote, aid and abet, the rejection of God and supernatural law and order. This is resulting in a profound breakdown of civilization, disruption, anarchy and madness by an uncaring and uncontrollable world, as the Prophets declared would one day occur.

Nevertheless, God’s Covenant has been re-established in a new way. God manifests Himself in Light come as the Image and the Word within the Sun of Righteousness. In the past, Prophets and Holy Ones have come into the world to instruct their peoples only to be rejected, reviled or killed in a most ignoble and unholy manner. Following their deaths, words were put into their mouths, and they were used to perpetuate the old ways, the old priesthoods and the religions of falsehood. God has declared this will not happen again.

God in His Abundance now fills the entire Universe with His Divine Light – untouchable by any material or secular power – to renovate all Creation. This Community, unified under the Image and the Word of the Sun of Righteousness, must hold to the New Covenant by living The Way. As we have seen, the Sun is a blessing to those who live the Way of Righteousness. We ultimately seek not the benefits of the material rays but the blessings of the Spiritual Sun. If you have the time, I recommend reading Prophecy of the New Covenant.

Once again, please feel free to ask me any questions by calling 775-786-7432 or emailing me at messages@cosolargy.org. I am always at your service.

30th Annual MLK Jr. Birthday Celebration Attended

 

 

The 30th Annual Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Birthday Celebration, this year titled “Remember Reflect Renew” and presented by the Northern Nevada Black Cultural Awareness Society (NNBCAS), was a two-hour dinner program of speakers and awards. The event was held at 7:00 pm on Monday, January 15, 2018 at the Atlantis Casino Resort Spa.

Keynote speaker was journalist Dr. Sherri Williams, an assistant professor in race, media, and communication at American University. Proceeds from the dinner benefit youth programs and cultural events planned by NNBCAS throughout the year.

Rev. Robert Petrovich attended on behalf of the International Community of Christ Church, taking a place at the Nevada Interfaith Association table, along with nine other members of the organization. This year for the first time, the Onie Cooper Achievement Award was delivered as part of the NNBCAS dinner program rather than in a separate event.
