When You Feel Lonely Just Listen to Spirit
When you feel lonely, just listen to Spirit. When you feel that life has just taken the "wrong" course, take a period of seclusion and in meditation listen to the inner quiet voice for guidance and in so doing you will find it and discover also the company of celestial friends. And so your lower self that had "guided" you to this seemingly "lonely" place will find and acquaint with that encouraging voice that is the best and ultimate guidance because it knows you best and intimately is the closest to you.
Spirit has two facets: A higher one represented by the Higher Self or Master Within and a lower one represented by Nature as the fundamental energy that composes all manifestation. In Rosicrucian teachings this last one is simply known by "Spirit". This lower spirit, known in Hindu Vedic teachings by Prakriti , is made up of the forces of the subconscious mind and its associated physical or material laws. In the same Vedic teachings the Higher Spirit is referred to as Purusha and represents the leading, authoritative, controlling and supervising qualities of the mind that make all manifestations. When you listen to your inner voice it is Purusha that is teaching you the best course of action. And may then your celestial friends find opportunity to step in and guide you too, so that ultimately the lower spirit, Prakriti, would make the best possible outcome for you a reality.
Fratres and Sorores: when you feel alone, or sad, or in need of much help, just listen to Spirit.
May Peace Profound abide with each of you.

My Beloved ones: Be yourself. This simple statement carries so much wisdom and yet like all wisdom is mostly ignored. Act yourself, express yourself, follow your heart. And in so doing you’ll find yourself and will discover that ultimately this simple formula of Be Yourself is but another way of expressing the injunction written above the portal of the Temple of Delphi in ancient Greece: Know Thyself!
When you follow somebody else’s footsteps you lose originality and expression, you lose you inner self and inner guidance and your mission too and then can’t find them in the midst of false interpretations of somebody else’s ego. You deprive yourself of the joy of following the spontaneity of your heart and of enjoying the self expression of those unique qualities and talents that are yours to express and the sole reason for your existence.
Fraters and Sorores: Study others and listen to others to
find direction and other viewpoints. But don’t let others manipulate and control you.
Just be yourself.

Study humbly. Ask for inner guidance when the teachings in the lessons are difficult to understand and when you feel incompetent to discern them or in succeeding in their application. Just raise your eyes and in complete humbleness supplicate for help. If your desire is sincere and deprived of any lower pride then a key word, a specific clarifying sentence, a best method, or an appropriate spiritual power will be given unto you so that you can overpass the stumbling block.
Endless assistance is at your disposal if you ask for it
with humbleness of heart. Maybe the guidance will come from a comment made on the pass by
a brother or sister in a gathering, or by the least expected person in the least expected
place. Help may come in multiple forms. So just be sincere and study in humbleness.

Honesty to others and to yourself is the best formula for inner development. Uprightness of character will set in motion virtues that are latent in you and lurking to be manifested. Don’t lie to your feelings and fears. Just face them and move on. This certainly will empower you. Denial and imperfect discernment of yourself will contrive a treacherous path of deception towards yourself and others. This crooked path will lead to unhappiness and failure.
Always face your reality as it presents itself unto you. You are your best judge. Let this judge weigh your soul against the feather of Truth with a victorious outcome. Peace of mind each night, before falling asleep, is a great joy. Let no one day pass that you cannot count good deeds and blessings and ask the Creator for even another better day to serve. So, be always honest to yourself.
May blessing from above fill your heart with Peace
Profound.

- Tell me a story, Heinrich, ask
the young Dalai Lama. Tell me a story about climbing mountains.
- That's one way to fall asleep. Those stories bore even me, answered Heinrich.
- Then, tell me what you love about it.
- The absolute simplicity, said Heinrich. When you're climbing, your mind
is clear ... freed of all confusions. You have focus. And
suddenly the light becomes sharper ... sounds are richer and you are
filled with the deep powerful presence of life. I've only felt that way
one other time.
- When?, ask the young Dalai Lama.
- In your presence, Ku-Dun.
[From Seven Years in Tibet, a film by Mandalay Entertainment from Walt Disney
Productions. A Brad Pitt Film.]
Heinrich Harrer, an Austrian explorer and mountain climber, lived in Tibet in the years prior to the 1950 Chinese invasion of Tibet. Harrer and fellow mountain climber Peter Aufschnaiter escaped a British internment camp in India during World War II and spent two years trekking through the Himalayas to reach the land of Tibet. Exhausted, penniless and starving these two men arrived at Lhasa and were allowed to remain in Tibet as trusted advisers for the next five years. Harrer's knowledge of English, Tibetan and geography enabled him to become the tutor and friend of the then teenage Dalai Lama, who is the secular and spiritual leader of Tibet, and who at that time was interested in learning about the outside world. Through photographs and writings Harrer documented the life, culture and ceremonies of that exotic and mysterious culture.
From above dialogue we infer that Heinrich Harrer had been transformed from
"selfish egomaniac to selfless humanitarian". Was this
transformation the result of his interaction with His Holiness, the Dalai
Lama? Yes, of course. But it was also the workings of Harrer's inner
light. The Dalai Lama was just a fine and powerful polished mirror able to
bring to the surface the best of Heinrich Harrer.

All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed, second it is violently opposed, and third, it is accepted as self-evident.—Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860)
Copernicus was imprisoned by the church for such heresy at suggesting that the earth is not the center of the universe. And still today we have the "Flat Earth Society" represented by proud members of science and academia.
Anybody that brings new discoveries, ideas or systems in the realms of Spirituality, science and technology, or politics undergoes these steps that, at personal level, help strengthen his/her character:
"First they ignore you. Then they laugh at you. Then they want to fight you. Then you win."
-Mahatma Gandhi
So let's repeat the steps: 1. They ignore you initially; 2. After a while and after hearing enough of you, they laugh and scorn at you; 3. Then, and because you are persistent in your position and don't seem to walk away, they fight you; 4. Finally, you win and your ideas are adopted by some and eventually by all. They become "official". What you fought for becomes accepted, obvious, and no news anymore.
This is amply proven by history. So don't
get discourage, press on!

Established
Religions and Salvation
Pay heed, O Ye Men, Seekers of Greater Light: Do not look for
salvation in organized established religions that teach you of a master and
savior outside of you for this is abomination. These churches need to be
Redeemed. Your master and savior is only one and inside of you, in your heart,
listen to it. Master Jesus Sananda never claimed to be your Master and Savior,
but your guide that pointed The Way Home: "I AM the Light and the Way". Only
your true Master Within can lead you to Greater Light and your Truth,
your home in the Father/Mother God/Goddess. When Jesus returns during his Second
Coming as he promised, he will fix the fallen churches by correcting their
teachings of Atonement and their differences. Then we will have only one true
Universal Church. As somebody put it, established religion is 99% true and 1%
lies. This 1% is what distinguishes one from another and what can be considered
the opium of people for it is used for manipulation and control and an illusory
sense of security. They do not fight to death for the obvious such as "Be a Good
Neighbor", "Love One Another" or "The Golden Rule", which is the 99%, but for
this small percentage in where lie tenets such as "Jesus died for our sins" and
"We are all sinners" (wrong, powerless, need external help to get clarified by
"experts", self-appointed ministers). This 1% is what also makes churches unique
from one another creating and justifying their existence. Jesus, my
Commander-in-Chief, will fix this 1%. Hallelujah!

A
Riddle in the New Millennium
Dr RA-Ja Dove from the Interplanetary Perspectives Aquarian Mission (www.stardoves.com)
posed this riddle to his Blue Flame Keepers referring to the blast of events and
changes happening at the dawn of the Aquarian Age. Here is his riddle:
"A ... RIDDLE FOR THEE BELOVEDS - AN ANSWER WILL EARN THEE ONE BIG BLUE COSMIC BONUS POINT FOR THY SOUL-AND TO SOLVE - EARNS THEE THREE COSMIC BIG BLUE BONUS POINTS - FOR THY SOUL - AND "ZE" RIDDLE IS: 'WHY DOST THOU THINK THAT THIS ALL CAME TO PASS RIGHT NOW AT THE NEW MILLENNIUM?' "
This was my answer:
The new millennium is aligned with the Aquarian energies and
the Photonic Belt for a period of Light (a cosmic year) and a time of the Harvest of
the Star Seeds and Earthlings who qualify for the next step in spiritual
evolution. It is at this time and place when/where the gates of Heavens
(planetary influences) are opened to send the Light of regeneration.
Before man had to go through elaborate rituals and initiations. At this new
millennium, because of cosmic influences, things are sped up and easier. For
that reason, so many things are happening at this junction of times (Piscean
Time/Aquarian Time), because the time/space continuum is right and the act
should be done quick, else darkness may prevail for another millennium. The
gathering and awakening of the 144,000 star seeds will indeed empower the Earth
with the DNA codes to reassemble its lost HUman children and gather their
fragments for reintegration and reconnection with the Higher Self. As RA-Ja
usually says: Hallelujah!
