Rules of Engagement
Just because you cannot immediately perceive something does not mean it is not real. Your mind "tunes out" many things around you all the time, but if you really pay attention, you'll be amazed by what you are missing. One of the keys to connecting with your angels is to increase your ability to perceive. If you are not listening for something, you won't hear it, but if you concentrate with real focus on your senses, it is remarkable what you will pick up. In this way, you can signal to your angels that you are ready and willing to communicate, that you are reaching toward a higher level of perception and awareness. Your angels are waiting for such a signal. This comprises some of the guidance you may find more of at Beliefnet concerning contacting angels...
Angels are beings of pure spirit and energy that have a higher level of consciousness. It therefore makes sense that angels can be near you at all times without you sensing their presence in your day-to-day life. You have accepted your limited sense as the norm of your existence. But you can change your expectations so that you can bridge the gap between you and your angels. With effort you can sense and accomplish things that some would call miracles. Witness the stories of holy men and women around the world who have connected with the divine through love and dedication. The key is to expand your awareness, both of what is around you and what is within you. By using effective visualization techniques, meditations, mental exercises, and prayers, you can see and communicate with your Guardian Angels.
I am going to move on here to speak/write of the existence of the other two angels I mentioned in previous articles: the King & the Bride. Before going into their unique personality traits & personages, let me make a clarification in the voice of the Queen of Lights in her own words as coming from First Source:
"All of your religions teach the worship of a deity and a doctrine of human salvation. It is the underlying kinship of your planet's religions. However, I am not the deity that your worship falls upon, nor am I the creator of your doctrines of human salvation. Worship of me in coin or moral consideration is unnecessary. Simply express your authentic feelings of appreciation to my inmost presence within you and others, and you broadcast your worship unfailingly into my realm."
Put another way:
You see, in a way I have created my own paradise. What we create in the world, we must first create within ourselves. A long time ago, I realized that we can either live in hell on this earth or we can live in a land of peace and joy, what one might call a paradise. There are really only two ways to live. If one is to find heaven, one has to open one's heart to love. That is the moon gate that one has to walk through to find eternal peace.

For this article it is sufficient to remember that masculine thought, combined with the feminine emotion of love produces action, which is experienced in the physical. From this experience, you learn knowledge and increase in wisdom. Here you have the complete mystery of the universe explained to you .. .As is Above so it is Below, and as it is Below, so it is Above. Cycles within Cycles not only of life experienced by humans on the physical plane, but also by the universes experienced on the physical plane.
There is no beginning nor ending, but still you believe…
In The Beginning: "In the beginning was the Thought." I bet some of you thought I was going to say "the Word," didn't you? That just goes to show how manipulated you are by traditional religions. Thought always precedes "the Word," and as you may know by now--if you have been reading these articles--God does not speak with words. Never has, never will. The masculine God was never "The Word" (Logos) He is the Thought.
It is, the Thought that was not only with God, but was God in our ancients' scriptures. For that Thought to be "experienced" He had to "be made flesh and dwelt among you." All are the Sons and Daughters of God. All are created by the divine experience of lovemaking--both physical and spiritual.
One does not come into life to work off some previous karma, as some would have you believe, nor to "serve God" as others would have you believe, but to experience life through divine love shared equally without condition or expectations, without judgments or possessiveness.
This is both the beginning and the ending (the Alpha and Omega) of the Divine Mystery...
Heart is the essence of all things--listen to your heart, not your intellect.
Seek not the wisdom of the past. The wisdom of this age is here and available to you, and through you to others. Find in the past, confirmation of the present, but be not governed by the beliefs of the ancients. Their time and wisdom was for a while. Their time is not our time.
We are the energy that burns brightest when two become One, and One becomes many. The force behind All That Is, is Love--feminine energy. Until you can understand and identify this energy within you, you cannot know US. We are the attraction you feel, the joy and warmth felt in a kind word, the comfort and security of companionship that is unprocessed and given freely.
The series of articles I began in February have a theme concerning the royal names of certain key personages depicted in the Bible; the King of Kings, the Queen, the Prince of Archangels & the Bride.
As with all written human materials, these themes & archetypes are metasymbols that awaken deeply held truths in those who are ready to awaken to them. Human language is simply inadequate to describe altogether what this process of ascension into Higher Awareness is, however, the purpose of these articles is to bring hope & encourage faith in those who have long relied on these teachings for guidance.
In virtually all the churches I have ever visited their IS a common theme when speaking about these royal terms, & that is a very basic & essential truth; the King of Kings came to be an EXEMPLAR, as opposed to a cult leader or messianic figure, a Teacher who by his own example demonstrated & SAID you who resonate with these teachings can become like me, in fact you will surpass what I have done in demonstration of these principles as we ALL are royal heirs of this expanded reality.
He came to live as a sovereign entity over his own Self. And by studying His ways, attitudes, & manner of dealling with the stresses of oppressive regimes & a culture using brute force to coerce compliance with an outside authority, He overcame them. Even when the "they" was comprised of angry mobs of secular & religious zealots who were eager to kill a man for saying such a thing in perfect harmlessness.
No greater love can be exhibited than this perfect example; to be willing to suffer unspeakable pain, humiliation, torture & even a slow agonizing public death in order to transcend this & return to His friends to demonstrate this larger reality. Which He did at that time in history.
He asks you to look after your inner home, take care of yourself, and provide yourself with a healthy environment inside and out. Don't let others dominate you. You are fully empowered. Be honest and faithful to yourself. Question authority. Do not be led like dumb cattle or sheep to your own slaughter.
The last part of an ancient Jewish practice is that after the invocation of the four angels, one is supposed to imagine the light of the Shekinah, the "divine principle of God," and that is everything created by the feminine, the nurturing, the womblike aspect of God. And you imagine that washing over you--washing over you and pouring through you. As all my own negativity and doubt wash away, I imagine my heart becoming lighter and lighter and lighter and expanding to encase me in an egg of light, which interweaves with the light of the divine. That's how I start my meditation every morning, and then I just sit in that divine presence for a period of time afterward as the essence of my meditation.
At a profound spiritual level, the significance of the Fool cannot be overstated. This Universe we live in, and strive to comprehend and harmonize ourselves with, is but an entry hall to a far greater reality that we cannot mentally comprehend. This unknowable greater reality, from whom all mental concepts and manifest forms recoil, is the Ground of Being, the ultimate Source of Creation, from which the Universe itself, the Universal Life Force Energy, and all manifested sentient and non-sentient beings arise throughout all time and space.
At this time in Earth's history, the human population is reaching the end of a long period of evolutionary history which highlighted the advances of the individuated consciousness, the RATIONAL mind, and the scientific model of reality as applied to the material world, considered as separate from the observer and separate from the world of "energy", ie spiritual worlds.
Thus we find ourselves trapped in a materialistic culture that worships material success and power over nature, power over other sentient beings, and for this reason is self-destructive in the extreme.
The social structure of this society is a reflection of this moment in evolutionary consciousness, highly structured, hierarchical, and driven by mental considerations of perceived self-interest on the part of small elites who govern on the principles of fear, greed and obfuscation.
However, the next evolutionary step for human beings is to re-establish conscious ancient connections with the web of life, with the extended consciousness of the human over-soul, and with the multitude of spiritual beings in higher worlds, to offer in self-sacrifice their highly developed individuated consciousness to the Higher Self, and to establish the Kingdom of Heaven here on Earth.
This is the task of the next Cosmic Day, the Age of Aquarius, as we progress from the depths of the Kali Yuga, and the Piscean crucifixion on the cross of matter into the Dawn of the Aquarian moment of stellar synchronicities, which are the material manifestation of spiritual energies accessible to the human mind, and of the dawning of scientific spirituality -- all symbolized by the seven pointed star.
The Piscean moment, which combined blind faith in hierarchical quasi-tribal religious organizations with a primitive kind of scientific rationalism, can be symbolized by the image of the Pieta, the dying god cradled in the arms of the World Mother, and represents a moment of evolution in which the lesson presented was all about the limits of male deification, left-brain rationalism and hierarchical priestly, kingly, judicial, scientific and economic elites organized on the basis of self-interest.
I will share a secret with you. It is not something I do with satisfaction but rather a sense of duty. The accounts of the other worlds are clothed in the very same fabric as dreams. The mystics, saints, and even some of the greatest teachers of the human species lived in bodies with the same limited range of perception as you and I. Their sometimes-spectacular accounts of other dimensions and planes of existence were subjective, non-replicable lucid dreams that were retold as objective worlds of splendor.
You ask yourself; Are you saying that the accounts of mysticism are fabrications?
Some are. Some are misinterpretations of lucid dreams. Some are encounters with the meta-dimensional worlds of the future multiverse. Some are encounters with off-planetary beings. Some are planned deceptions. The point I'm making is that those who speak loudest of their experiences of the human soul and the worlds in which it resides are often seeking to describe their own glory more than an objective reality.
I tell you that I take no satisfaction in this. Nor am I trying to discredit any teacher. Let me describe it this way. If I discovered a place upon earth that no one else had ever come upon, and I made a map with coordinates of this discovery, I would be able to explain to anyone who can read a map how to find this same place. I could also lead people to it based on my experience.
Why then are there no maps of the inner worlds? And before you answer, remember that while there are maps, they are not consistent in scale or measure, and thus, they do not describe the same inner geography.
You may be saying; I agree there is incongruity about the structure of the multiverse, but this doesn't necessarily mean that it doesn't exist.
I'm not suggesting that it doesn't exist. There is no map! There are no cartographers of these worlds because these worlds are infinite in scope. How do you map the infinities of First Source? With paper and pen? How do you reduce the extraordinary vision of our collective Creator to words and methodologies?
There are two ways we can enter this new age as a group, as humanity.
We are currently ADDICTED to oil and to industrialization, to power games and greedy consumption of the Earth's resources without concern for future generations, the web of life called the environment, or the web of life we know as higher worlds, the world of energy forms and signatures.
We can choose to utilize our remaining oil and the rest of our lives to the peaceful replacement of our current deluded lifestyle, consciousness and social structures, as individuals and as groups, or we can choose to squander those resources and our remaining time on earth in fear-based reactive actions which will result in a war of all against all.
These CHOICES are up to EACH SOVEREIGN SELF to determine & nobody else at all. You are your own country my friend! You rule over your own inner & outer territiories & none other!
Those spiritual forces that feed upon the negative emotions and deluded thought forms of unenlightened humanity may be conscious or merely parasitic in nature, but they work toward the fostering of the war of all against all, and they foster the perception that they and those deluded humans who serve Mammon and material creation at the expense of spiritual worlds are all-powerful and that we who oppose their design must struggle against them by mental and material means in a "war" of good versus evil. This is part of their plan, to suck us into squandering our energy.
It is important to have total faith in the workings of the Divine Plan for human evolution, to perform our spiritual practices more and more and with greater and greater single-minded devotion, to advance the cause of scientific spirituality that respects all paths to the Divine, and to quietly work within groups dedicated to humanity's spiritual, environmental, political and social advancement into greater light and greater love, in greater service to the Divine.
That said, it is also true that depending upon the choices humanity makes as a whole, there could be vast differences in the scale of suffering inflicted on the world population in the physical realm in the near future.
Our well-intentioned attempts to educate those around us about world conditions and the current dangerous crossroads of history we inhabit can only be a positive force, if they are carried out without taint of fear, emotional reaction, judgment or desire for revenge against those who would thwart the Divine Plan for human evolution.
Authority has been delegated. We are all spirit sons & daughters, therefore authority is to be expected. As soon as there are those who are able to lead, that designation has been given to them. Every point of leadership may ultimately be traced back to the Godhead, nonetheless, that does not preclude leadership among the spirit sons & daughters.
We simply say that authority has been divided. There are those who can speak the words of authority that encompass truth. As truth filters down to those on lower spiritual planes, the words can take on what seems to be different interpretations, but are filters from those who inhabit a plane. Do not misunderstand what I say, truth never changes. Truth cannot be thwarted. The will of the creative forces will always be obeyed. We only speak of semantics here. There should be love between all good intentioned people. Do not let divisions happen because of interpretations. That is all we say.
Also remember that what you learned in the beginning stages of your youth can be expounded & expanded upon. Inspiration is not staid nor static. As humans were more open to accept more of the truth, tireless efforts have been made to pass that truth along to you. What was said and remembered from 2,000 years ago was revolutionary, but was not complete and whole, and not all that could be said. It was a great stepping stone for the time, but not all there is to know about the love of the Father/MotherGod. It was a way to reach the GOD: First Source, through unconditional love.
Unconditional love will not change because that is a universal truth, but there are other disciplines to express that unconditional love. You have more than one outfit to wear to express who you are. There are more facets to express unconditional love. There is much more than what has been allowed to filter down to the present.
Do not argue over the pearls like dogs fighting over bits of food that has been thrown to them. Remember the dignity of all God's children. Envision all of God's children on an upward spiralling path moving toward truth. No one holds the complete and unvarnished truth in the words they have inherited. Allow for differences. Concentrate more on the good intentions of those who may dialog about spiritual pursuits.
No one can open the doors of heaven, without love in their hearts for all God's children. There are no divisions in God's house except self imposed. There are many mansions or dwelling places, because the life force expresses itself in differing appearances, but they were not divided so that entry could not be made into each level.
The divisions or shall we say vibratory levels exist because of the nature of vibration. There were no bars placed upon the doorways. Hindrance from entry exists only because of self-imposition. All are welcomed. All are called. All are loved. All are one.
PASSION IS A GIFT OF THE DIVINE!!!
We were sent to Earth to experience complete individuation AND THEN to also experience the JOY, the complete & utter JOY of DIVINE COMMUNION in the act & form of conjugal love.
Enter the Bride.
These articles are picking up the thread of the complex & somewhat confusing to read pictiure depictred by John the Revelator in the final book of books which comprises the Holy Bible. And in this final book enters a Bride. The beauty queen of hearts that captivates the King of Kings. This is a final & highly significant scene for all believers in Christianity as it heralds a time when our sense of all we know, our time/space continuum, our forms of government & worship, our global culture undergoes the greatest transformative shift this universe has ever witnessed. The marriage supper of the King of Kings & Lord of lords to the Bride of his heart is such a significant usher.
In the time span on Earth wherein the Groom meets, is captivated, & ultimately won by the Bride of his heart we see, & we also experience what conjugal love is all about: finding the Divine through the personal passion between two lovers.
There are many ways of meeting the Divine, such as in nature, music, and friendships. However, service to one another is perhaps the grandest way of finding the Divine, because you can look directly within one another and see the Source of all.
Source is in everything, even a rock or a blade of grass, though some find it more difficult finding divinity in nature, because many hold these objects to be inanimate. Every object created by the spark of Source, or God, holds within it the divine imprint. However, sexual love is perhaps the easiest way to connect to Source, because God lives within the love that is expressed between two people. What makes the sexual expression so special is that the exchange of emotion is of a type that was present at creation.
The world and everything in it was created during a very special platform of love. It was a stage, if you will, and on that stage was the Creator in an emotion so vast that it is beyond understanding.
We have only love as a means of understanding the Source of all. It is the closest guideline that we have in understanding Creator Love. And sexual love is the highest form of love that enables us to come the closest to understanding what love truly is.
Pure sexual love is like looking at the Creator directly in the eye. It has to be pure, though; pure in the sense that there is no agenda of power or control. It has to be two parties who offer their love in complete freedom to one another. It is an offering given in freedom, and in that freedom there is complete understanding. There is an exchange between one another that is the form of the divine. It is the recognition of the divine in one individual, giving and supporting, as a mirror of the divine in the other party.
Our time NOW is the time when this union has already been consumated. The marriage supper has been celebrated within the first inner circle of the spiral of Lights that comprises the Celestial Order of Lights governing our beloved planet Earth.
This is what this Divine couple has to say to us now;
"We fight the darkness with light in our hand. Our living God supports and helps us in our combat. Our GOD/First Source protects us and cares about our well-being. We also receive help through our thoughts and feelings. We feel a deep reverence before our nature, our life and our origin. We love life and feel a great love for the All that has once created us, which will continue to recreate us, because we will all live forever, through our Father/Mother GOD's will.
We are of the opinion that every individual is unique and has equal rights. With that philosophy, everyone becomes equally strong and able. It is our duty to help those who don't have that knowledge yet, the ones who haven't reached a higher level to shine from. They all get to keep what they call 'theirs'; their ideas, their level, their ways and their culture, but it has to be in the name of the light, if they choose to follow our path. That way, we will all stand united and the darkness cannot reach us. The greatest thing of all is love, but it can only thrive in the presence of light."
