A Tale of Forever
A Tale of Forever
Preface: Because of our history of differing cultural interactions with angels the world has developed several story lines about them. Who are they, exactly? Where do they come from? What do they do? Are they sent by God, or gods? If so then who or what, exactly, are these? The whole topic is complex with no shortage of legends. I want to write about angels but I do not want to do so in a way that affronts anyone’s beliefs. I channel Bartholomew and have for a long time. This does not mean that what I write is correct. Truths are not absolute. They vary with our circumstance, culture and ability to perceive. On Spiritual Forum are many accounts of angels and other beings. Is one correct while the others are wrong? No. I try to avoid thinking in those terms. A well known master soul bids us do not believe a thing just because some titled person says it. Do not believe only because ancient tradition seems to persuade or require. Believe a thing only when your personal ability to reason, your individual rational mind, tells you it is the best yet available information. Let’s begin. Forward: About angels. Briefly…. They are an evolutionary race which predates that mighty event that we call “the creation”. One could say that “before the beginning”, they were. As the primal force, the Great Creator, began to express the higher spiritual planes came in to existence arranging themselves in a grand and very intelligent design. These were arranged in a hierarchical fashion, the highest of these being the Monadic. This is the plane which “is” the absolute consciousness of the creator as is now defined. Here there are no dimensions as we know them. There is no time. It is the timelessness of god that some call the “I am”. As a result of the process of expression other spiritual landscapes came into being. The first of these was, in our reckoning, the Atmic. This, below and less refined, is a most dynamic plane for here we find the beginnings of divisions of consciousness which result in the differential we observe and call time. Beginning on the Atmic plane the flow of time, which is the product of division, exists. It is on this plane that our story begins. Part 1 Concerning Angels In the last story the travelers were shown the planet of pastels, the home world of Angels. It, in allegory, is their source. Here the newly created take shape and are tutored in what will be their work. He, also the elder may retire to resume their own paths of evolutionary ascension. This, in our reckoning, might be called the Atmic. But may we return to the nigher, the Monadic, for just a moment? A closer look at the Monadic reveals what to us would seem a single blinding light, pure consciousness. No apparent movement. Stable but with the purpose which would require a dissolution of a fragment of itself. This was the first “Creation”. The primordial “I am”. It was also the advent of the first of those who would develop, those Great Beings who, much later, were known by humanity as angels. Note that references to the flow of time used here are conveniences only. Any comparison of high planes to lower must include these because it is we, in our imperfect states, who seek. These then were the first (race of) angels. Of the Creator in an almost direct measure their responsibilities included the institution of what we now call evolution, that mechanism which allows all, spirit and physical, to always change and grow. It is they who, through a subordinate race of beings, the worker spirits, cause a single sub atomic particle to adapt to that field of consciousness which is the single, essential, universal principle. In a single statement then the primary duties of the angelic race is the application and moderation of the principle upon and within all which follows. Nothing less. Note that one may discover, in this seeming complexity, another principle which serves to tie it all together into a single, coherent, whole. Here we refer to the great Law of Correspondences. “As above, so below.” As the story progresses watch for this to become more and more apparent. The Monadic then was the source of those first beings which would later assume such roles of importance (in the yet to be created lower planes). To provide for them a sphere in which they could wield influence another plane was constructed. Newly created angels needed a world of their own. This, lower than the Monadic and at that time the lowest of any yet envisioned, we might call today the Atmic. This would be the functional home to the angels throughout the long ages which would follow. And, as a reference these would henceforth look to the higher, the Monadic as the heavens of their own aspirations, to which they would someday ascend. Thus far we see the great creative source, it’s impulse to express and the results of that action. As in any creative process it is Will directed through Visualization to the Matter of some lower plane which results in Form. This simplified statement is the essence of any creative process. As we read on it is important to know, too, that in the structured universe whether it be spiritual or physical if we think in terms of varying degrees of consciousness we will correctly apprehend the Oneness of it all. It might be said that angels are God’s “agents of creation”. Before even those realms to which we aspire, they were. They were the managers which would later make their presence known in so many ways. Now the stage is set so to speak. The Creator has prepared for what would follow. Our group of travelers is now in the company of the Lady, the First Angel. As they prepare to depart for higher heavens, our story begins. To be continued. |
Part 2 Angels’ Home In the previous story we found the travelers, guided by and protected within the aura of the lady, the First Angel, racing at speeds far beyond that of light through the reaches of our solar system and out into the distant landscapes, towards the heart of our galaxy. Through this period though we remain in the Astral plane so that we can continue to see the physical universe around us, approaching and receding as we pass. The reader will remember that we passed the constellation of Orion and while there visited the now dead world from which, long, long ago, parties of colonists left journeying to the Earth to begin again on a new world. This world exists yet. It orbits an aging sun, a red dwarf which is too dim now to be seen from Earth without the help of a powerful telescope. This part of the story is literally real. It did happen. It is the reason we on Earth have such an affinity for Orion's belt. But it was long ago and our memories of those times are fading now, replaced by legend. We may also remember pausing in our earlier journey in the vicinity of the constellation Pleiades where our group was joined by other angels, the Seven Sisters of lore. Quite real after all. Later in our story we will learn more about them. Now in company with the Lady, the First Angel and seven others who are sometimes remembered by their Earthly names assigned by the ancient Greeks, we continue on to the portal through which we will leave the lower heavens and, once again, transit the into the higher worlds, the Buddhic and the Atmic. Shall we continue? We are bid by the Lady now to compose ourselves for sleep in preparation for the transit. Ahead of us is a point of unusual proportions and coloring. A dark globe like structure of vast size. The blackness of it has a different quality which is unlike anything we’ve ever seen before. We remember that we are in the Astral plane, not the physical. Yet it seems so familiar. It seems to be both very bright and incredibly dark at the same time. Yes. Darkness now as we draw nearer. Our speed, almost un-measurable before, is now increased dramatically. But there is no sense of movement. Note: This darkness that we detect is an effect caused by extreme concentrations of pure lower spiritual plane energy, in a sense, reflections of the physical. Now the travelers, in company with and in the protective arms of the great aura, are drawn in… and through. There is no measuring the speeds at which we travel. Indeed is it correct to use that word at all? It is like, in a way, a tunnel. Within as we progress we are continually showered with particles of energy which, as we progress, changes, becomes more refined. These, we are certain, have an effect on our beings. In our minds we hear the Lady explaining that this is the process of conditioning that all must experience before they can enter the… and here she pauses and we sense an idea of a “homeland”. We wonder at this thinking what it might mean. In time we pass what appears to be another boundary. This one is seen, or perhaps, appreciated is a better word, for just a few moments but we continue without hesitating. Later we will ask about that. Not now. The Lady, knowing our thoughts replies “Yes, you will…”. The darkness which we know now to be high levels of energy, lessen and become lighter. We slow now as though we had passed through and are now leaving the vicinity of some grand vortex. The tunnel effect diminishes. We are at our destination. But it is not any sort of universe that we can recognize. There seem to be irregular shapes, in pastels but nothing of substance, at least of the kind we are used to. Again the Lady intercedes and we begin to understand. We have arrived at the “borderlands” of the Atmic plane of existence. Our rate of progress is now constant and continuing. Our angel guides have changed just a bit. They seem now to be of a slightly different quality. As we seem to slow they become more… “serene” is the word that is given us. They are home. We have arrived on the great Atmic plane of existence. Here, in these landscapes, we do not move about as before, from place to place. We do not move through any sort of geographical dimensional setting. Instead we travel through “consciousness”. Here one does not so much “see” a thing as she or he “realizes” it. We find later that as we move in a linear sense those things that we perceive are created before us (for our benefit and attuned to our abilities) so that we may comprehend. This being the work of the Angels. We slow and come to a stop. Before us is a world which seems to be like a planet in pastels. We seem to be seeing it but certainly we can feel it throughout out beings. The angels loosen their formation now. They seem to be smiling among themselves. Then we understand. We are at the home world of the angels. It is here that they begin, here they learn, here they return from time to time for the periodic cleansing that all beings require. Remember the cyclic natures of all? No created being is exempt or held harmless in the midst of that through which they must move in the performance of their duties. It is true, too, with angels. From our more familiar lands of the Earth we do not realize this but it is so. Now we are allowed just a peek into other worlds. It is given to us to expand our consciousness just enough…. The world before, or is it below, us glimmers and changes shapes. Looking closer we see movement. We do not move but we are allowed to send our minds down, down to within the mazes of luminescence. We find that if we slow we are rewarded with visions of structures made of light. And within these are light beings moving about. Several pause and look our way, inquiring… but they continue with their own business. There are columns and domes, sometimes with openings which look like Roman occuli. We are given to know that these serve as “learning centers”…. Here is where young angels receive their educations. Like us, they learn and grow. Lastly we find a body of what appears to be water. The surface shimmers but there are no waves. We seem to know that we are looking at a specialized form of energy. Yes. Something is out of sight to us. It houses or hides a center within which angels are graded and given courses, areas of activity (service areas) in which they will do their future work.” The stage of our story thus set, resumes. To be continued. |
Part 3 The Pyramid Our party of travelers has stopped now. Our angel guides will escort us, one of us with each of the seven to the Atmic center which serves as the higher correspondence to the more familiar Hall of Records in the Earth’s Astral plane. Seven travelers, seven angels. The eighth of these, the Lady, now raises her arm before us and points to a structure in the distance. We become aware of it now, not through our eyes or even via our third eyes…. No. It’s different. We are using our imaginations, or rather some higher form of them. What we perceive is being created for us in our minds. Identity is lost to the singularity of this new experience. Forward now, the fifteen move slowly towards this new destination. This writing is a memory which suffers from the need to translate plane to plane until it is within reach of our rational minds. So much is distorted. The reader, each of you, will find slightly differing realities in the tapestry to be unfolded. Colors too will modify in accordance with your own auras’ perceptions. Shall we continue? We have arrived on the Atmic plane and are upon the mythical home planet of the angels. It is a world in pastels, wonderful. Shapes in light inhabited by beings of light. Only slight variations in coloring. We remember that this is not a physical world at all. Indeed it is unlike any that we can imagine. We are guests, travelers here. The sights that we experience, our understandings of it all are products of the interactions afforded us by our angel guides. It is they who send directly to our human minds (remember we are yet in our Earth plane Astral bodies) those things that we seem to see or hear or understand. Later, after we return home we will, for a time, remember as though we were really there. Were we or because of some need was it yet another dream? Perhaps we will never know. Our perceptions of this place will vary but never let the truth of it’s existence be doubted. It is all quite real. Before us is what appears to be an immense pyramid made of some shimmering, translucent material. We see it but we can also, to a degree, see into it. As we watch we note very light bands of color moving as though some very mystical play is being enacted, meanings conveyed to some audience. No. It is so much more than just that. It is a four sided pyramid very similar to those found on Earth. We exchange glances. Our angels, each of them ministers to each of us. Each angel carrying one of us within their protective auras as before. We move forward now and enter. There are no doors or openings that we can see. We simply find ourselves inside. Now all about us are swirling patterns of colored cloud like bands moving as though by directed purpose. Complex but not random at all. We understand just enough to answer our immediate questions. Everyone is inside now. We stop. Yes. It seems to be a strangely layered structure. We have the impression that is not a matter of a building with things inside but rather…. We are seeing or witnessing all the events of the planes of existence arranged in order of something like quality of manifestation. And through it all we know ourselves, our places in this monument. Or so it seems. We will continue. We ask: “What is this that we see as a pyramid?” Our angel answers us saying: “It is our repository of forever.” We are seated now or rather we seem to be but our bodies do not touch any surface. Perhaps floating is a better word. The Lady, the First Angel, speaks: “You question the pyramidal design of what you perceive. It is familiar to you. You have seen like structures on Earth and there are hints of others too… The pyramid is a design which, because of it’s inherent stability and simplicity, and versatility serves as foundational to any, to each of the planes of existence.” We listen and realize that she is correct of course. We have many pyramids on Earth and some say there are others on both our moon and on Mars. She continues: “This structure is the higher correspondence of the fabled Hall of Records which exists on both your Earth and in her heavens, on the Astral plane of expression. In it’s vaults is a complete history of forever. And, just as the use of this idea provokes wonder in you so shall the discoveries that you will make. Shall we begin?” The Atmic plane does experience a flow of time but it is almost unrecognizable to us. On lower planes we are used to the very familiar processes of thoughts, thinking. Here this is surpassed by realizations. If we were to describe it we might say it was more akin to variations in consciousness. Perhaps a modulated form of awareness is better. Allow us to simply say that after a time we are led to someplace that seems like, if it were on Earth, to be a reception area. We look about us and we see a regular shaped enclosed space. The ceiling is in the shape of an inverted vee though. And there is one ornament. To one side a covered elongated box. Of this we are told nothing, yet. We discover more about this just before our story concludes. Now the party pauses. We did not see or sense them a moment before but now we see seven passageways around the perimeter of the area. They are not marked that we can discern but plainly they each lead to other areas inside of the pyramid. And now we are moving again. Each of our guide angels moves to one of the doors. Seven angels, seven doors, seven travelers. It appears that each of us will experience an individual adventure. The Lady, who is still watching says: “Yes. You are correct. Beyond each of these doors is recorded the various structures of the spiritual realms, both high and lower. Each of you will see and experience the reasoning and mechanics of the forever worlds. Later then you will remember even after returning to the Earth. And a sharing, perhaps in your Healing Room, will be beneficial to you all. But more, as you continue with the rest of your lives you will teach those who show interest affirming the true nature of reality of it all.” We are given to understand that the “forever worlds” are the higher representations or correspondences of the lower, created worlds that we know so well. Shall we proceed? Note: Angels are known to many all over the world. In each culture or tradition they are recognized by name. May we, for convenience, use the names given the Seven Sisters of the Pleiades by the Greeks? The seven are: Taygete, Merope, Maia, Electra, Celæno, Asterope and Alcyone. In the company of one traveler each, they move each to a different portal, and enter. At this point the essence of the story begins. To be continued. |
Beautiful! You have our attention! :hug3:

Preface to Part 4
At no time is our general lack of perfection more apparent than when we make the attempt to speak of God in a way that might bring true understanding. In previous efforts it was given that the business of gods was expression. In order to help our understanding then supposing we view this process as “expansion”? Science seems to agree that our universe is expanding. It might be helpful to use this as an analogy. Can we draw a parallel between expressing and expanding? The former being about God (spiritual worlds). The later being about man (physical/emotional worlds). The ever present great Law of Correspondences applies. In this part of the story occasional references will be made to Biblical passages. This is not intended to be an endorsement of any particular religion. May the reader remember that the stories in Genesis were in existence, passed verbally generation to generation, long before they were first codified by man. Regarding names assigned to spiritual planes. These are not to be considered absolute. It is enough to understand that they exist in layered form, each being somewhat less refined than it’s higher neighbor and each having distinct purpose in service to the highest, the source. The reader is encouraged to assign his or her own names to these to agree with his or her experiences. Part 4 Before the Beginning With any expansive force we find a degree of necessary thinning or dissolution of the source (material). This is true even in those highest of spiritual realms. And so, the ultimate, the timeless plane upon which we find the source (God) has created another, slightly less dense, perhaps we might say, but lower in purity from it’s source. At this point the observer would see that there are two spiritual planes in existence. A third is just about to appear. A spiritual plane is not complete, functional, without those minds which will make use of it. This is true with all planes, even the physical as we humans will attest to. One most essential duty of these is the management of further expansions (of God). Now we find that each spiritual plane has managers, great ones who, in turn, develop these to best potential thus preparing for yet other succeeding expansions. Now the observer will find that there are three planes within his or her sight. So far we have not named these. Names are not universally recognized. They all too often vary with cultures. The learned will agree though that this effect derives from the inherent separatist nature of our world. Such considerations may, then, be set aside as having little value. For the sake of clarity in tabulation may we call the highest plane the Monadic (Divine), the next lower the Atmic, the third lower the Manasic? These will, at least, give us points of reference. The source (God) occupies the highest of all planes, the timeless one, The “I am”. The Monadic or Divine to many. The next of the planes formed as a result of expansion, the Atmic, is also populated. The beings which populate this slightly lower plane are those that we, today, remember traditionally as being angels. In our story the Atmic is the source plane of the angels. What we find so far is the created spiritual worlds that existed before any of the lower spiritual and the physical. But this is soon to change. There does exist in the spiritual realms a great hierarchy of responsibility. The business of those who inhabit any one plane is the manifestation of what is directed from above. Not a complicated process. Familiar to us in our world today. Visualize now the angels on the Atmic. They, the first of these, have completed their training and are ready to assume new responsibilities. The next step in God’s expressiveness is about to occur. Now in the Atmic pyramid our travelers are about to witness the greatest event known to mankind. To be continued. |
Part 5 Let there be Light
We are fifteen souls on an adventure unlike any which has come before. Although we accept the fact of the angels that guide and protect us we can’t help but to wonder why. We then realize that when there are no more “whys” in the world there will no longer be any need for faith. Completion! In the meanwhile we ask. We recall an experience we once had while gathered in the Healing Room. The seven of us plus many others were gathered in the garden, in a light meditation. It seemed at the time to be more like a dream that we all shared. Another short excursion to some destination in the astral that we had heard about but never yet experienced. Who has heard of the fabled Hall of Records? Edgar Cayce was one who referred to it perhaps more than others. His interest was retrieving bits of history from the time of Atlantis. As we were to find out though it was much, much more than that. In our dream our friend, the Lady, was again our guide. Our magical carpet speeds to the higher end of this plane and then slows. Before us is again the familiar shape of a pyramid. Huge it seems and glowing almost golden in color. We slow but instead of stopping we find that we have entered as though it were more vaporous than solid. We find a central hall with passages leading away. Again the Lady speaks: “In these rooms are stored the histories of all of the physical universe and it’s heavens. In addition is the story of humanity even to the point of memories of each individual human being that ever lived in your worlds. It is yours. It is for you. There are also recorded probabilities for the future. You may, any of you, come here to study in preparation for the phases of life which are yet to come.” None speak but we all are in awe of this opportunity. We ask: “Why? Have we earned some right that is denied others?” The Lady replies: “But nothing is denied, only delayed. You are to bring back the knowledge of it’s existence so that in time the world will be introduced to the reality of life as being eternal. Do not be concerned with this though. Because of this experience, this visit, you will think of it often and this is the process, the creation of forms on the astral for others to perceive. This is what you will do.” Thus prepared we, each of us, studied at length in those areas to which we were drawn. What we learned would be recalled should the occasion, the need for it ever arise. This was the magical quality of it all. Those other experiences remembered we now return to the present. As in all things, created and non-created, there are correspondences. In our newest journey we traveled far away from the Earth’s physical plane. We are far, far distant from it’s heavens. In fact we are now on the very high plane, the Atmic, which was made long before God said the mighty word which resulted in that moment that some on Earth call the Big Bang. In a stillness beyond compare we again return to the present. The lady speaks: “Friends we are inside the higher Hall of Records. Here we find all that is, the records of everything connected with the expression of Divinity primordial. As we watch with minds joined we seem to see it all. So simple and elegant it seems to us. Why isn’t it complicated? No. The complicated becomes simple when the mind is properly attuned. This service is provided us by the angels which guide. The great mind of the creator is impressed upon the matter of the newly created plane, the Atmic. This is the level just below the Monadic (Divine). Thus engaged God visualizes what will appear. The thought. The visualization, the will to act, the created substance. This is the law. And now the higher universes were broader, greater and, in their lower areas, less sublime, more “dense” (is a good word). As it was told before each of the spiritual planes needs necessarily a family of beings who will administer and manage. This then became the domain of the angels of God. Eight of these are with us today. The story continues. The great mind of God again calls forth and issues a visualization. A new spiritual level is to be formed and with it both a lesser spiritual and the densest yet, the physical plane with it’s lower heavens will come into being. And in a moment of tremendous activity which we remember yet today, the new universe was “void, dark and without form”. “It was good.” It had begun. As each of the lesser spiritual realms is formed the elemental, absolute quality of the God Head (Consciousness of God) is projected in order that the newly made will have the livingness of the creator. In the physical universe then we find that even the smallest of the subatomic particles has a degree of consciousness. This is the “spark of Divinity” of lore. It is true. But now there was another attribute. One that had not yet been seen. At this “distance” from the Creator an aspect of separation was beginning to be apparent. And so, in the newly made physical matter there was a bipolarity. Positive and negative, a new kind of force held in check by motion. Now there were two forces apparent. The attractiveness of gravity (distortions in the fabric of space) and the attraction/repulsion of an electrical force. And so the stage was set for the beginning. Because of the influence of those two forces the elemental particles where formed. Now, again, because they were subject to the laws of attraction, repulsion and gravity they gathered together forming matter more dense. In time the first of the molecular elements was present. Hydrogen we call it today. And now the stage was indeed set. The process that began so long ago continues today. We call it evolution. The evolution of the all. Later we would find that the continual movement that we again might call evolution also works it’s magic on the souls of humanity. In those distant days there were yet to be formed any stars. There was not yet enough physical matter for the great clouds to exist. The process of creation, though, once begun, has never stopped. It continues even to this day. As we listen to this we begin to understand more about our own story. But we have not yet come closer to our spiritual lives. This will follow. We are at rest now. Our guides moderate our exposure to the flow of information so that we are not overwhelmed. No one speaks but we are thinking about our feelings of being “pressed” in a sense. The Lady speaks for all the angels and in our minds we hear: “Rest for awhile. Refresh yourselves and then we will continue.” To be continued. |
Very interesting read
Namaste |
The story will continue in early January. Thanks.....

Part 6 Celestial Beginnings Time as we measure it here on Earth now was present in the physical universe. In our reckoning several billion years have passed. The great clouds of matter had been formed. The process of collection into large swirling masses, the beginnings of our galaxies today, had begun. And now as the matter grew more dense through compaction it heated until those great forms ignited and grew bright. Those which we call stars were born. As our story unfolds we in the company of the angels are absorbed into what is being presented before us. We don’t simply see it but we, through the agency of our guides, are a part of it all. In a sense, for a short time, we are living vicariously as an angel might. Are we then angels ourselves? But this is a part of the auric immersion. We try to look to each other, to exchange thoughts. The best we can manage is to be aware of ourselves. The story continues. The next step in the mighty process of creation begins with the formation of the stars. These are destined to be what we might call local centers of creation. Each of these, when mature, will embody a specialized being whose duties will include the management of those parts of the physical heavens which fall to his or her agency. These are the gods of Earthly lore. One such inhabits our star, the sun, yet today. He is has variously been known as the Sun God. And we are “his children”. But such beings cannot simply be created and have existence without a plane of their own. And so another, a lower of the high heavens was made. Some call it the Manasic. It falls below the Atmic and Monadic but it is above the physical. It is the much storied “home of the gods”. We continue. In our created universe so far we have angels (Atmic beings) on high and lesser gods (Manasic beings) who express through certain of the stars which shine brightly in the skies. In our story our own sun is home to such a being. Indeed it is his body of expression. And our solar system is held energetically in his great aura. More about this later. We rest now and in a period of transference we find that we are being “filled” (is a good word) with that which has been realized. Thus conditioned for the future we resume. The universe has been expanding for eons now and it begins to slow. The time will come with the cyclic nature of things demand it begin to contract, return again to it’s source. There are certain areas in our universe which are built for this purpose. We call them black holes. The mature of these serve as portals, return paths for physical and lower spiritual matter to return (for recycling if you please) to the higher heavens. One might ask “why, if they are so dense, do then not ignite and become stars?” The answer is that the bulk of the energy that is collected by them passes through and expands returning (shifting up as it were and thus expanding) to the matter of the lower of the higher heavens. This is the mystery of those centers that so perplex science today. It might be added here that when we were traveling and made the transition into the higher heavens it was through the great portal which lies at the center of our Milky Way galaxy that we passed. “But, we said, can it be so simple then?” Spiritual matter becomes physical by passing through the creative centers of certain stars?” “Later, at the end of it’s allotted span, it returns to the ethereal through the attractive force of black holes?” “Can anything so mystical and unknowable be finally explained in such simple terms?” And the Lady, our guide replies: “Yes. This and more you shall learn”. In our story so far we have witnessed the first actions of God which resulted in the creation of the higher heavens and the race of beings, the angels. Later we watched as the physical universe was born. It’s processes, the plans for it’s development and finally the resultant creation centers each with a new kind of spiritual being, a god to each system which would later become reality. “God saw it and it was good”. To be continued. |
Part 7 Through the Looking Glass We are in the great pyramid like structure in the “home of the angels” on the Atmic plane. Each of us is accompanied by an angel who protects and enables us. This is the only way we can ascend to such heights. But are we really there? There is more to this than meets the senses. May we remember two of the great spiritual laws? That of correspondences and that of attraction/repulsion are now being applied. The Lady explains: “Each spiritual plane has it’s own organic entities. On the highest is the God of Gods, the Source. God expresses and thus expands. This results in a new plane being born. One just slightly lower, less refined we might say, than the highest. The beings made for this plane are we angels. This is our home. We are of it and draw our energy from it. Here we are born, begin our paths and to here we will eventually return.” “Completion” is the destiny which awaits all in creation. “Now”, the Lady continues, “You have seen that we travel to lower planes in the fulfillment of our duties. As we do so we shift our beings so that we are compatible with that plane to which we will be manifest. The exception is that, on the Earth’s Astral plane we are visible to a human being whose vibrations are adequately raised up. This is a matter of his or her evolutionary position. This is a necessity. When one of us is seen by a human being on Earth or when a man or woman channels one of us it is our lower correspondence that is being accessed. This is a necessity. It is the way it is done.” We listen and are given to realize then that this changing, plane to plane is described in the idea of correspondences. Further we realize that As we adapt to a plane we are attracted to it. Or rather, it is attracted to us and as this happens the plane we moved from can be said to be repulsed. To understand this more completely remember that between each spiritual plane are boundaries which, although they usually are in a state of dynamic flux, are effective, constant. The lady says: “Is this clear to you now? Do you understand better now why it is necessary for each of you to be carried by and within the aura of an angel on this excursion?” “Yes, we do.” And so with this added information we continue. In part 5 of our story we learned about the great event which resulted in the beginning of our physical universe and it’s associated heavens. The highest of these new planes is called by some the Manasic. But the name matters little. It is only a reference. Some refer to planes as densities or levels. Others as dimensions. It matters not. Let each of use his or her preferred terminology. On this Manasic plane are the new beings that will serve as gods to the newly created physical and spiritual universe. As was told before these, when a star is adequately matured and when the need is upon them, a “god” will leave this plane and, shifting down, move to and inhabit (in esoteric terms it would be “inform”) one such star. Now the stage is set for the preparation of new worlds which will eventually be home to lower spiritual forms in the star’s system. In our solar system this decision was made long ago. Now we find a family of planets one of which is home to us. It is noteworthy here to say that our planet is so much different from the others only because it is held so by the continuous meditation by our solar entity. This process is not unique to our star. There are countless others. In the pyramid we now find ourselves moving again. As was said before this “movement” is not through space but rather through consciousness. A most curious phenomena. Now a new series of scenes opens before us. We watch. The Lady continues: “When we consider the creation of religious lore it is more complete to include the “heavens” which correspond to the physical universe for they are interdependent. No physical matter regardless of size can exist unless it is accompanied by it’s corresponding ethereal. And later, as these forms grow more complex the higher spiritual correspondences will be attracted. The whole then becomes greater, more suitable for the high purpose which is always present.” As we, the travelers, are given to understand it is though our ability to visualize that we suddenly begin to understand the complexities of the creative process. Further it is clear to us now that this was the event which resulted in the passage of time. True there is a correspondence to this on the Atmic but it is so subtle as to be imperceptible to us now. We sense some kind of movement but as it is regarding consciousness instead of through space our ideas about time remain closer to the timelessness of legend. Again we are moving within the great pyramid. There is the appearance of a main hallway or passage with openings, doorways left and right but also up and down. Pausing now, again, we see before us a doorway as yet unexamined. With the angels as our protector guides we enter. The Lady again speaks: “The doorways which you observe each lead to a different universe. We will select your own. Now we will travel away from this place and return to more familiar surrounds. Your galaxy, the Milky Way, is our destination. We will leave the Atmic now and shift down again to the highest of the spiritual planes which are associated with your physical universe. This would be called, by some, the Manasic. Here is the home to those great beings which are referred by humanity on Earth as being the gods. They are the sources of the force that manage the evolutionary paths of all that lies below them.” With this statement we again change from the fluid variations of consciousness that we were within just a moment before and feel tremendous acceleration. In a long sweeping curving trajectory we race at velocities unimaginable. All this yet we do not feel this in the ordinary way. Again we are on our familiar flying, magical carpet. That which we were first introduced to in the Healing Room of the Earth’s mid heavens. Now…. We again feel a passage of time. We know we have descended from “on high” but to where we do not yet understand. Another way to describe our adventures so far is to compare them to she or he who sits high on a mountaintop in the quiet of a winter night. Above the stars seem clear and so close they could be touched. All we have to do is to close our eyes and not only do we understand but now we can move towards them, and even within. What secrets do they hold for us? Was the Lady, the First of the Angels, really with us then or is it all a dream. Then we open our eyes and watch as one star grows brighter. It draws near and slows. No. It was no dream. We see the heavenly vault above us and it is us. We are it. This is the magic The Lady speaks again: “Star light, star bright, which star will we travel to tonight?” She continues: “Yes we have just returned from the Atmic through to portal which is associated with the group of stars in your galaxy, the constellation Pleiades. We appear to be on a mountain top but we are not. This place is the home world from which those forces that guide are found. Here, on the Manasic we are in the home of the gods. And as we are told this we suddenly realize that it is all true.” This constellation of stars that we on Earth know so well is representative of others near and far distant which through the benign intercession of the godly entities within condition the worlds within their scope of influence. And again we find the angels have roles to play. To be continued. |
Part 8 Earth Genesis The travelers arrive at a world, a planet which orbits a star, a minor one, very old, within the greater Pleiades. This world, in the distant past, had mountains and valleys. It had oceans and biological life abundant. But it’s time had passed and now a new role emerged. The atmosphere has thinned. It is mostly carbon dioxide and nitrogen now. As a result of the changing chemical make up of the whole and the weakening magnetic planetary field adjustments in the crustal rock has resulted in the terrain being reduced now to no more than low hills with the occasional deep rifts. A visitor to this world who remembered it as it was would recognize it only by the familiar star patterns in the night skies. It is quiet, now, and stable… But it is useful still, viable in another way, a new purpose. Now, upon this planet, human souls come to gather in the higher correspondence of the dense physical to study and learn. We arrive now on the ethereal copy of this world in decline. And as we, carried by our magical carpet approach we see bands of reds and oranges high above the surface. These, and the areas of stability within them, are our destination. We gaze in wonder as the carpet slows. Our angel guide is watchful. The surface of this world is no longer habitable but high up in the subtle, layered heavens which surround there are yet zones wherein we will find the comforts of familiar surroundings. Just to give it a name supposing we call this “atmospheria”. Indeed this is the name other travelers have given this “upper physical” world in the past. We approach now and begin to slow. On the carpet, the magical carpet which has been our trusty steed for several adventures now, we stare in wonder at the sights which draw into view. Rudolph and his crew, faithful as always, guide us as we alight in or on what appears to be a semi solid structure. Maybe "layer" is a better word. Although none of what we find is physical matter consider the rings of our sacred planet Saturn and you will realize the correspondence. All is in motion when observed from above but as soon as we alight we are surprised by the feeling of stability. We are here now. The carpet has stopped. We travelers are many in number. Some are James, Gem, pixiedust, Anala, Miss Hepburn, Elfin. Others include Just Tim, Lomax and Legrand. And towards the rear of the carpet but never forgotten are all those who frequent the Healing Room. Many have invited friends who are unknown to us. All are welcome now. The lady, the First Angel, speaks: “We have come to this place because of it’s historical significance.” She continues: “Upon this cluster of stars, long ago, a group of angels came from their home center which we have so recently left. They came with a specific assignment which was concerning the preparation of these seven stars in the constellation (Pleiades) so that they would be suitable centers of activity for the great ones which would follow. You will recall that certain stars are “informed” by great Manasic beings we know as gods. These then begin the intelligent work of the constructions of worlds to come. This is their immediate goal. The more remote goal is the preparation of specific worlds for lower lives, souls expressing in the physical as human beings (and other forms). As human beings are know to have guides… so do the lesser gods. We, the angels are given the responsibility in this area.” The lady pauses and we recall that these Manasic “gods” are beings which arrived on the scene (were created) at the moment of the great creative effort. Further we remember that before this great event the higher heavens, including the Atmic plane and her forms did already exist. To each in creation… a season and purpose. She continues: “Perhaps if you draw a diagram these relationships will be easier seen?” Shall we continue? This constellation then is one in this quadrant of the galaxy which will be key to the distribution of higher consciousness within it’s area of influence. This then settles into divisions, forms through which expressiveness (godly expressiveness) may begin. This is the way it was… and is yet in far distant galaxies. The Lady again continues: “Do we remember that on the physical plane there are points of gravitational balance in association with various planets? Our scientists have identified these and called them Lagrange points. It is the same with stars when arranged as constellations. A point in the higher ethereal correspondence of these serves as an intersectional, focal point from which the collective influences may then be transmitted outward to other stars and thus to the worlds in association with them. This is, or was, the beginning of what we on Earth now call the science of Astrology.” And in this angels play a vital role. We ask the Lady: “May we know when these events took place? It might help us to understand the sequence of events.” The Lady replies: “Yes. In Earth reckoning what we have described was in the days when your sun was yet young, the planets had emerged from the sun and congealed forming balls of gasses or liquid rock. In Earth years this was approximately 3.8 billion years ago. Remember though that the passage of time differs depending on the plane of the observer. Yet this information may help you to visualize better, what would become your world.” A world is established for use by human souls depending on it’s position with respect with those heavenly influences which will be so essential to the spiritual evolution of those souls who will inhabit it. Thinking of this statement look to the heavens. Do we see an arrangement of constellations as though they circled the universe around our planet? We do. These will be spoken of more later in the story. At a certain point in it’s life our sun grew smaller, hotter and stabilized into a source of the radiations which would sustain the physical worlds in it’s sphere of influence. This completed our solar system was nearing the point of readiness at which human souls could inhabit the planet Earth. First however the higher correspondence of the Earth system would have to be constructed and initiated (given life). At this point the angels or rather the angel of our system, took action. Angels are known to be messengers. “Yes” the Lady affirmed, “but they are much more than that”. They convey to the Manasic plane Lords the instructions from above (the timeless Will of the Creator. In this case a great one was sent to our system. This one would become (and is yet today) the “god” of our solar system. Upon arrival our sun became what we would later call a “sacred globe”. Now, in our time, if we could but know it. Our sun is the body of manifestation of the great soul which the ancients called “god”. More specifically the sun god. That expression is really quite accurate. It is noteworthy, too, to say that the entire solar system exists and is held vital within that great aura. The minds of men, being a part of it, knew of these things instinctively and sought to bring it all closer to themselves. They began to refer to this great entity as the “sun god”. And later even this changed. In our time our sun remains the body of manifestation of this great one. That has never changed. But now may we look closer to our planet? If our sun is the body of a god might not there be lesser entities closer to the Earth? The Lady again speaks: "Do we see in this the origins of older traditions which worshiped the sun and those later which moved away from this and worshiped the greater god of all creation? These evolutionary ideas are parts of what gives humanity the dynamic to progress, advance spiritually." In those days the Earth was a bit closer to the sun. It rotated quicker. Days and years were somewhat shorter than today. The early oceans were mildly acidic. The internal fires within caused convection currents of energy resulted in fractures of the surface beneath the waters. The waters then subsided into the upper mantel material bringing lighter elements with them. This combination resulted in the lighter rocks and associated structures that we have come to call continental rock. Being much lighter than that which lay below these great masses rose up eventually becoming dry land. As these lighter formations rose above the waters the atmosphere was enriched and the rains began. Now the salts that had separated out from the continental materials washed into the seas neutralizing the acids. At this point the Earth was ready for biological life to be implanted. All these things were the result of two influences. The first was the Will of the great one who was now the causative force in our system (our sun god). The second was another. A lesser force perhaps but one that was vital as we will see. All this was in strict accordance with the will of the great one who ever presided. The Lady spoke again: “It is good to impart to you a more complete view of the events which preceded our world as we find it today. In the understanding there will be wisdom”. The planet, our Earth, at that time, had only a rudimentary spiritual heaven. This was the ethereal double that is common to all physical matter. But biological life required more than this. Before even simple life forms could exist the matching heavens must first be created. Imagine life coming and going to and from the planet. The souls of even microbial life must have a heaven to retreat to after death. And so the Earth’s heavens began to be developed. In the next part we will explore this a bit more and discover a most important link to the Orion system. To be continued. |

Part 9 Our Return We travelers are upon an ethereal worldscape high above a dying planet, orbiting a lesser star in the Pleiades system. Here, under the tutelage of the Lady, the First Angel, we have leaned, or begun to learn, about the spiritual lives of the universe without which the physical could never have been sustained. Shall we continue? We ask: “May we know more about the evolution of our solar system? The Lady replies: “Yes, and much more? But shall we first leave this place and go to where those specific memories are brighter?” At this we again board our conveyance, the magical carpet and, when all are ready, depart in a circular path in the direction of our own star, the sun. A sleep seems to descend on us now. We are enveloped in what seems a haze on an otherwise bright day on Earth. Again the sensation of acceleration. Speeds, velocities beyond our ability to describe. Sensations of ever curving trajectories. We sleep as the journey continues. Then we awake as the Lady says: “We have returned. Once again we are in your familiar Earth heavens. We are about to arrive in the part of your astral plane which is set aside as a repository of the history of your world. Here we will explore and learn. Questions will arise and be answered too.” The scene before us reminds us of our familiar Healing Room area. There is a lawn and flowering trees. In the center, both near and far, are buildings which are also familiar. To some they appear in the Romanesque style. To others as classic Greek. Yet to others who have memories of Atlantis the early Egyptian designs please the eye. In the distance, too, are buildings which closely resemble Indian and Indo-Chinese temple complexes. This is the way of it in our heavens. To each in accordance with her or his experiences, memories. Again the Lady speaks: “We will enter the first of these.” And as we approach a doorway opens before us. Silence seems to dominate as our senses react and adjust to these slightly different conditions. Imagine in a dream state some point at which one dream stops, a change is made, then a new dream of a different sort begins. This would closely describe what we feel now. The Lady watches as we adjust ourselves to this place. We are still reclining on the carpet and now we are told: “Stay seated and you will move on a tour through the history of your world and it’s heavens”. We wait. The above setting is one in which we will continue in the final part of this series. At this point our story will change from one form to another. As a story it will end but as a historical narrative it will continue. What is a story anyway? Is it pure fiction or something else? Our stories thus far have been in the form of novels. They contain much truth, some literal and some parable-like embellished or filled out with bits of fiction where appropriate making a more enjoyable experience for the reader. For instance a good historical novel can include fictional characters without losing it’s authenticity. This technique is what has been used so far. Small amounts of literary freedoms have been taken but always with the purpose of furthering the underlying truths, the revelation and understanding of which are the sole goals. But this changes now. It will be a story no longer. From now on we will be exploring the history of the Earth system as it factually is. Therefore it is no longer appropriate to call it a story. In the continuation we will visit the role of the Orion system regarding our solar system as well as returning to the Pleiades. There will be much to discover. It might even be that certain questions regarding Earth pyramids will be explained. Perhaps the most important of all will be the explanation of the further role of the gods both distant and near and their interactions with the angels. In this area many religious beliefs will be cited and some light will be shed. For those who have a keen interest in astrology, both exoteric and the less common esoteric varieties much will be revealed. Here again, both gods and angels play vital roles. Those of us who were incorporated into the story are real enough. The Lady, the First Angel is very real. The world of men has long known of her by different names. The various spiritual planes in particular the very high Atmic are quite real and really are of pre-creation origins. The descriptions of portals, high to lower (trans-creation boundaries) spiritual realms are very real. Some stars and some black holes do indeed function as described. If we could see a black hole, a mature, functioning one, from it’s other side we would see a torrent of energy emitting from a point in great rush. It is really the reverse of the expansion of creation. It is more of a contraction into purer form. This release of mass, it’s conversion to higher spiritual energy, is the reason why a black hole, although immensely dense, does not ignite and become a star. This is just one example of the truths which have been used in our story. The magical carpet? Well that is a colorful convenience. Why not have a little fun if we can? The various animals which care take our Healing Room? They are very real and can be interacted with by anyone who visits the Astral in a dream. The carpet and it’s passengers, we the travelers, now depart for the Earth’s more familiar Astral plane and the gardens surrounding the Healing Room. We alight. The carpet seems to be smaller now, it’s tour ended. Rudolph greets his friends who have all come to hear of distant places. Goodness the pig is ever hungry of course but manages to sit quietly, listening. High Bette and Lady Pumpkin standing just to the side. They were not really omitted this time as a link to them carried by a helper spirit was always present within the aura of the Lady. They thus were a part of the story in an indirect way. Rudolph and his team have departed for their home planet in the Polaris system. In the distance they are seen, the dust of stars in their wake. The companions look about now and find that the garden table is set for a feast. And afterwards? Healing sleep for all. One of the greatest of gifts from God is our ability to discern fact from fancy, or sometimes combine the two in interesting ways. If this were not accepted as being factual then we would not find parables in the Bible. In this area let each reader define his or her own points of demarcation. As we differ as do our abilities to perceive. In our worlds there are no absolutes at all. Truths are fluid and changing auras within which another story, one yet untold, lays, waiting for us to find it. Because of the change from story to historical narrative formats the continuation of this series will move from the Story thread to another part of the forum, perhaps to: Science & Spirituality. When it is finished I will post one last comment in the Story thread asking the interested reader to look for it. Where to find it. Thanks to Spiritual Forums for providing forums in which each of us can express what we find to be true. James / Bartholomew |

Part 10 Angles of the galaxy
Preface: It was said previously that in preparation for our planet to later host biological and then human life certain spiritual matters had to be initiated. The first of these was the establishment of a series of heavens in the Earth scheme which would, quite literally, vitalize and “inform” the forms that would soon walk the Earth. Remember that the ethereal plane was already in existence because of the presence of physical material. The new planes would be the astral and the mental with provisional connections to several higher which, in the future (of our solar system), would only be present in our sun and Saturn. Note: In this story when we speak of “universe” we refer to our own galaxy. This is because each of those vast collections of worlds has it’s own story to tell. The Milky Way is ours. The travelers in our story have been in the Healing Room, resting and waiting for the return of the Lady, the First Angel, who had promised a continuation. We are all gathered in the garden adjacent to the main building now. She begins to speak: “If everyone is ready we will once again journey to the place of memories and directions, our galactic center, to continue our investigation of the events which led to the first human souls arriving on Earth. No. It is not the Hall of Memories of the Earth’s Astral plane. That had not yet been established. We will return to (a reflection of) that older Atmic center which is represented by the constellation, the gathering of the Sisters.” At this point she rises up from the grassy area then, looking back to see our trusty carpet now aloft and we all upon it, she begins to move away. The journey resumes. It seems to have been quite a while since we were all together but the experience of traveling at near to the speed of thought is one that never fails to impress. What appreciation for the vastness of created space is available to he or she who moves at the speed of light? And now, here, in the lower of the spiritual planes we are able to increase our speed again. Stupendous! It is not only velocity that stimulates our senses but now, as we become more used to being in the company of angels, we realize that our consciousness also changes, adapts to some new requirement. The Lady explains: “Do we remember before when we first penetrated the barrier between the created worlds and those nearer to the source? In those almost unknowable realms one travels in “being” or better expressed as “consciousness”. Remember? Watch now as we are joined, met by others and guided to that landscape which was begun to record what was to come.” Now we see in the distance, points of light moving towards us. Rather we are aware of them using the eye of our collective mind. The light that we are being met by is a group of three angels sent or rather called for, by the Lady a moment before. In silence unimaginable they circle then surround our carpet. We watch. They do not speak to us. Indeed they seem to be oblivious to our presence. And yet we are the reason for this occasion. The Lady, of course, senses this. She speaks again: “We have arrived at the place, our destination now. These three that you see are emissaries of the sisterhood of angels assigned to our galactic center. Remember the association between angels and the created gods of the highest of your heavens? Messengers. Custodians. Celestial advocates and guides too. Now watch as they change the form of the heavens through which we travel.” Before us opens a landscape of pastels. Bars of light that seem to curve away in the distance yet no real motion is discerned. It’s more like we have stepped aboard an already moving conveyance. But now since a kind of resonance is apparent we seem to have arrived in a world, tangible enough to be recognized by us as being something familiar. More like artwork we think. Impressionistic renditions of a world within yet apart. These reactions result from our still changing consciousness. A little different for each. How, we wonder, can we possibly remember this later? Again the lady speaks: “Yes. You will, later in a dream of the kind that we try to recall but continually fall short of unless you reform this group as you are now. This, you will learn to do. Then the door will open for you.” As we watch we seem to see the three angels, one in each corner of a triangular shape. Very far away they seem to have moved but not out of sight. We wait. A moment later we suddenly realize that we have been watching the formation of the land in which our visit will progress. Again the Lady speaks: Yes do you realize that the essential geometrical form in the created universe is the triangle? And here we, by agency of our three helper angels, have done likewise. We now see the result.” At this the Lady smiles as she knows of our understanding. Again we wait. What seems to be clouds of energy are swirling around us. We move into the nearest of these. Then, as before when we visited the homeland of the angels, a building appears before us. A single doorway. We enter. Darkness. We find ourselves paused, no longer moving forward. Are we sitting or just suspended above some floor? No matter. Around us now images begin and a larger story but one that is truly a part of our own, begins. Again we are told the story of the beginning, the creation. This time however we are aware of the activities of the angels. As the boundaries of the higher spiritual planes are rent but before the beginnings of the rush of high spiritual matters which will, so quickly, be slowed and expanded resulting in the first of physical and Ethereal matter in our universe, we see angels quickly moving as though they are shepherds. Indeed this is exactly what they are. Certainly the source, the God, creates but it is through the agency of the angels who manage that which results. And yes, now we remember that angels have always been with us on Earth. In pivotal times of stress they would seem to always be there to help. Now, though, we see them as no one has ever before. As we watch they take up their positions “in the firmament” as it is sometimes referred to by those visionaries who always seem to know. They continue to move outward from the point of manifestation. As we watch we understand that now we are traveling through both consciousness and the galactic lower heavens too. And, in addition, we can see the physical universe taking shape. How can anyone even dream of being able to write about such things? Without help it would be impossible. What follows are those events which preceded the formation of our galaxy only. It is known by us that countless others are thus active. We will stay closer to home though. Shall we continue? We have come, with the help of the Lady who guides us in a journey of consciousness, that the story of our universe, our galaxy, is also one of the activities of our angels. “Yes”, she affirms. “They are here with you always.” We sit, in circular fashion in a room within. Surrounding us are curved walls with dark doorways evenly spaced. There are twelve of these. Before each one stands, as if guarding, an angel. In the next part we will read along as the travelers discover more about the role of angels in our galaxy. To be continued. |
Twelve doorways, twelve signs of the zodiac, the plot thickens! Do go on, Bartholomew :smile:

I agree. More about the role of angels in astrology coming right up.

Part 11 The mechanisms of the spiritual life. As before we find ourselves in a circular room. In the center we travelers, still comfortable on our carpet, wait. We realize that in order to share in this we once again have been enclosed in the great aura of the Lady, the First Angel. And we awaken to thoughts coming towards us. “Yes”, she said. “It is almost the same as once before but this time we are concerned with the formation, the beginnings of our local galaxy, not so much the physical and lower spiritual aspects but from the viewpoint of the angels who guide.” The Lady continues. “Let us review for a moment. Before the creative moment there did exist the two very highest of the spiritual planes. Then, had we been there at the moment of the beginning we would have witnessed several things being made (being formed). Remember that even the smallest subatomic particle, being physical, needs, relies on a corresponding heaven (Ethereal plane) which is home to and nourishes it’s soul. Remember correspondences? The Ethereal plane is the higher correspondence of the physical. Physical matter and the lowest of the spiritual, the Ethereal, came into being simultaneously. And, at the same time the beginnings of the highest created spiritual plane, the home of our gods, the Manasic (home to the future masters of creation), was also begun. In the moment of creation, then, the physical, the Ethereal and the Manasic were made. In the remainder of this story we will look closely at this lofty plane and discover it’s secrets. From the originating fount, the Godhead, the source, that which is, the I am… certain conditioning factors issue forth into and to give substance to that which follows. The Lady senses our hesitance and speaks “Remember that God seeks to express. On the lower spiritual planes souls will come into being. These will live and express on yet lower planes. They must have the means to do this in a manner which, later at the end of the journey, will find them possessed of wisdom sufficient to be raised up.” Yes suddenly we find ourselves thinking of the words in various religious scriptures. Words like salvation, transmutation and ascension. “Yes, she continues. Now watch as these godly attributes each, in turn, is made known to you. And now as we wait anxiously the first three of the twelve doorways open before us. An angel appears in each. Together they speak. “Here, in the first three of these pathways (as we refer to them) are found the three principal attributes of God. They are: Will (the great mind of Divinity), Love (treading faithfully joining the lower to the higher paths) and Active Intelligence (that which causes cooperative activity). “These three mandates, she continues, are the tools (or gifts) given to the gods who are to inhabit and work (inform) on the Manasic plane. These great godly attributes they will bring to the far reaches of our galaxy where they will be set into motion becoming the localized outposts of the Godhead as they will be recognized by those lower forms which will be found on the various evolutionary paths (kingdoms in creation).” As we wonder at this statement we are given to visualize the future and we understand. These three will be the platform, the basis on which each systemic god will express. Shall we call this a great trinity? Yes. Now we can see more clearly the function of the god within our own star. At this point we rest. The Lady continues “We are presenting to you a very abbreviated and simplistic picture of the means of the work to be done in a new galaxy. Now before we progress to the other doorways lets consider the galaxy as a whole.” And so we are surrounded just for a moment by a warmth. Now a vision of a vast geometrical structure opens before us. We are given to know that this is the essential spiritual framework of our galaxy. So simple it seems to be now that we know. Shouldn’t it be more complex? The Lady laughs “No let’s keep it simple”. As we learned before the triangle is the essential universal, geometrical figure. All else derives from it. Before us is a point from which a triangle now begins to form. As it grows larger we see that it assumes a three dimensional shape, It is kind of like a three sided pyramid but one with boundaries which are not clearly defined, not quite. The whole of it is more like a translucent mass but one bounded in purpose. What we are seeing is a segment of the manifestation of the created Manasic plane as it exists in our galaxy. And we know that it is the same for others too. But there is more. In our galaxy there are seven of these arranged, the apex of each meeting in some central point, around, above and below, the entirety of that which will later become the physical galaxy with it’s heavens. “Yes but it is helpful now to watch only one of these.” And the story continues. Again as we are facing the remaining nine of the doorways we see that each, in turn, opens and each is guarded, or perhaps hosted, by an angel. Each of these waits. Now the Lady speaks again. “Visualize the galactic segment, the three dimensional triangular shape which is before you and know that each of these door ways is the source, one by one, of the conditioning attributes which will later play such important roles in the evolution of the stars, their systems of planets and the multitudes of souls who will, for a time, call them home. Now”, she says, “watch as the 12 angels move away and at a speed beyond comprehension take up new stations in a vast global form within our segment of the galaxy. With our eyes now we find that each of these seems to be stationary in a position which is the spiritual center of a constellation of stars. Do we remember before when we mentioned the Lagrange point of physical science? This is the position in space at which the gravitational influences of neighboring objects seems to be neutral, in balance, a center of gravity. The position that each of the managing angels now assumes is the higher (spiritual) correspondence of this physical aspect. Here, each of them is able to manage, find balance for those spiritual forces which are embodied in the spiritual star centers of each groupings of stars. And the whole is arranged in a pattern which, from any solar system in it’s area of influence, would appear as a great circle in the night sky.” We humans take note of this, the work of God through the angels, and call the study of it astrology (a word which refers to the energetic beams upon which essential godly attributes are disseminated). Now can we stop for a moment while the complexity of this can be better appreciated. Note: Astrology is mentioned here only because it is a mechanism provided us with the express purpose of allowing a measured rotation of those influences which, in our many lifetimes, will assist us in the acquisition of wisdom (through experience). Through it we move from one heavenly set of attributes to the next. The Lady here does not intend to do more than to briefly mention it. We will provide an example of this progression. In the story of Moses he ascends the mountain for a time then returns to the people only to find that they have reverted, moved away from the one God and back to the many. He finds them worshiping a golden calf. This story is a metaphor. In each turning of an age a great one appears to lead the way. Moses presided over the changing of the age from Taurus to Aries. In this story the people resist, as humans always do, the celestial changes. They prefer to stay in Taurus, thus the calf. In the next of the age changes the great one who was sent at the beginning (of Pisces) was Jesus. Thus the symbol of the fish. Now we are entering Aquarius…. Who will appear? The lesson is simply that at the beginning of each new spiritual age (moving from one sign to the next) the people will naturally resist. This is the reason a master soul appears at such times to help. The student of astrology might research the time of each new age and discover that, indeed, a “prophet of God” did, in fact, appear to mankind. It is also of great importance to note that it is not just we humans but the Earth as an entity which is bathed in these heavenly influences. “As above, so below.” We rest as thoughts again flow form the Lady into our minds. “This part is a simplistic view of what was created. To better appreciate it though and how, more exactly, it applies to our lives we will have to again look at our own segment of our galaxy. Can we remember a constellation of stars that we call the Pleiades? Do we remember that this constellation of stars is called by many the Seven Sisters? Shall we continue?” So far as we have seen in this room of doorways was three which represented the essential attributes of the godhead and the nine others which represent the controlling elements of the great constellations which, operating as a whole controlled by various angels, form the sources of the conditioning factors which, along with genetics, situation and various chance happenings, allow each soul to receive opportunities for advancement. But back to the room now. We find that a further seven doorways have formed before us, each also with an angel guide in position. These, all in the feminine, are the managers of other, lower aspects of God (the source). Each of these, in ways which will be better explained shortly, embodies the extra personality aspects that each soul will use during it’s long journey towards the measure of wisdom which will, eventually, set if free from the cycle. Now let’s continue. We know these angels already although few of us have ever been able to appreciate their primary purpose, their mission so to speak. These are the Seven Sisters of the constellation Pleiades that we have all heard of. Let’s look at each in turn. What is to follow is a listing, a tabulation of personality aspects which, in various combinations determined in the larger sense by our system’s location in relation to the larger astrological constellations, the traits, the strengths and weakness of each of us as we travel through lifetimes. The first three of the Sisters are concerned with the godly attributes of the source which were delineated just a bit earlier when we spoke of the first three of the doorways. No. These angels are not the same as those others that we met. These are more localized in function; more concerned with the Earth and other planets in the sector that are home to human souls. Looking in turn at each one we find that they embody the three essential attributes of the godhead which are, Will, Love and Activity. Perhaps is we think of these as being more focused towards we as individuals it will be easier to grasp. But then there are four others. These, each of them, are less concerned with the godhead but more with the human personalities through which souls will live. They are expressions of: Science, Harmony, Devotion, Idealism and (Ceremonial) Magic. May we stop here and return to the topic of astrology? This story is not intended to be a study of astrology. But student of that discipline will find however that each of the signs, in turn and as a whole, will embody all the forces which have been mentioned in this story. It remains only to visualize an angel managing each of them and, in addition, the Seven Sisters whose function it is to further focus each of the seven primary (divine) influences so that they are optimized for our planet determined by it’s physical location in our galactic segment. Note: Seldom is it spoken of or taught but there are two kinds of astrology in existence. The first, the common, is that set of factors which is concerned with the human personality (and others as well) who live on the Earth (and other nearby planets). But there is another. We refer to the astrology of the (human) soul. This is quite different. The study of this higher correspondence will reveal the spiritual pathways that we walk upon as souls rather than as personalities incarnate. Since this is a much more complex topic nothing more will be given concerning it in this story. Note: May we urge the reader to look to the iconography of each of the world’s great religions. We find that the numbers three, seven and twelve are commonly used to describe sacred ideas. Although there are cultural variations the observer will find a common theme or source. Through this we will happily find that the barriers which seem to often otherwise exist because of religious bias, tend to diminish leaving a new kind of what we might call “concordance”. Again we find ourselves seated on our carpet in the center of the room. Now the doors have closed. The Lady again speaks. “It is not always easy to understand all that has been shared but it is suggested that if a diagram is made, a drawing in two dimensions, of the various points in “space” which have been mentioned, relationships will be much clearer. Remember to include the Sisters and as they seem to overlap or duplicate the work of other angels the drawing of connecting lines and then a visualization of a created human being moving through the astrological scheme it will become very clear to she or he who makes such an attempt. But it must also be said that the purpose of this presentation which is in story form is less a tutorial and more an adventure based on our small lives as they appear (come and go) and become a part of something larger. Returning to the narrative the Lady says “It is time to rest now. The efforts tax the imagination. Time is needed to assimilate.” We find the carpet on which we are seated rising up off the floor of the room. We exit. Now at an angle which seems to us to be pointed slightly downward we rapidly accelerate. Now, again traveling at the speed of thought, we change down to the lower heavens of the galaxy thence to our own solar system. We are home again. So quickly it seemed. Why is it that the return trip is never quite the same as the outward bound? Perhaps it is because of another of our very human inclinations. We, try as we might, cannot escape or set aside our habit of entertaining expectations. Like it or not, we are still in these bodies and must learn to manage the personalities which are central. Now, back in the Healing Room we find that our friends from the animal kingdom have been busy in anticipation of our return. High Bette has been keeping watch. Goodness is in charge of the picnic table which is set up in the garden, waiting. Rudolph is here too. It seems that his world is also a part of the greater scheme that we have been leaning about. He is emissary to it for Saint Nicholas (Santa) or our lore. Who is he? I mean, really? Someday we might find out. Lastly we find Lady Pumpkin, patient as always, standing somewhat aloof, waiting. These are our companions, all. In no way are they lessor souls. Indeed they are in so many ways less complicated than we but do not let this deceive. But we, all of us, travel in turn on the paths ordained. Where they are today, we were and where we have visited today they will too, in the future. We someday, in new forms, may arrive with new missions. No matter the place or time lives live in adventure filled stories that are meant to be shared. The travelers, tired now, gather on the garden lawn..... sleep. This story, A Tale of Forever (adventures with the Lady, the First Angel), will continue, perhaps in a new way, in the future. Suggestions are always welcome. A concluding summary of part 11 (part 12) will follow. To be continued. |
Part 12 Epilogue
In the garden again the lady calls to us to assemble. Then she speaks: “In the preceding story line the object was to reveal to the reader a little about the basic structure and organization of our created universe. This would include the higher life forms that are responsible for it’s operation. Before the creation there did exist two very high spiritual planes. The highest is that of the Source, God to many. Just below was, and is, a specialized plane which is home to those beings that would be tasked with managing that which would later be created. Lastly are the many lower planes that came into being at the time of the creation. We can easily see then that before the creation the source was. Isn’t it reasonable to suggest that creation had to have a cause; that something existed before? Yes. Instead of speaking of the entirety of all of the created universes, there are many which, in reality, exist in the very same three dimensional plane as our own, we will look only at ours and, within it, one galaxy in particular, our familiar Milky Way. The highest of the created spiritual planes is that which is home to the gods. These have duties which include managing lower systems in creation and the lives which they will be home to. Our solar system has one of these, a god, whose body of manifestation is our star, our sun, sol. To better appreciate this we might visualize the aura of this great being extending to encompass the entire solar system. Within it then are their chakras? Yes. Their orders of existence are not a part of this story but it is interesting to note the our planet, the Earth, coincides with the solar plexus chakra of the solar being. All this is well known and is the basis of tales about the sun god. This great entity, who is eventually subordinate to the one, the source, is the power which oversees the entire system and, in particular, the Earth. The application of willful intelligent design of this great one is the reason our planet is so much different from the others in our system. It is not by chance that we humans can live here. Again, a high spiritual being from the highest of the created spiritual planes is a god by nature. These are both male and female because they are created and thus divided in expression. Each of these has a lower spiritual and physical body through which it lives. Our local god’s body is the entirety of our solar system plus neighboring force fields. And each is tasked with carrying out the Will of the source. Lastly have we ever heard of the idea of ascension as it pertains to we humans? Yes. We have. This idea describes that process through which we, each of us, completes various processes of learning and gaining wisdom. At each level then we are lifted up just a bit higher until we are finally “one with the Father” (by proxy of our sun). This particular set of mysteries is not fully described in any scripture. It is simply referred t as being ascension. But we must not forget that above these “lesser gods” is the one, the supreme, the source, God the Father which came before all else. Remember the angels? These great beings are tasked with the duties which include the transmission throughout that which is created the ideals of the source. The angels are thus empowered. In our galaxy then we find that groups of gods, each with a body (star) are grouped together for particular purpose which is nothing less than the transmission of godly attributes throughout the galaxy. This is the reason that we find stars formed into constellations, each directed by angels who serve as the intermediaries between the source and the created universes. These godly attributes include all those things that we find delineated in the science of astrology but also include the more universal attributes that are so particular to we humans. These later are largely the domain of the great sisterhood of the Pleiades. The business of deity is expansion through expression. In all of that which is created we see this dynamic. And in the more than obvious movement, lowest to exalted, do we not see the continuous process of spiritual advancement which results in the lowest eventually becoming one with the highest? This is the mechanism of God’s expressiveness. Nothing less. Does it all begin to make sense?” The mood of we in the garden setting is quiet, reflective…. The Lady of the story is real. She is not an invention of my mind. We may note that most of the angels in this story are female. This is because the feminine is the essential being in creation. Above the created worlds, in that which came before, Angels are not separated into genders at all. They, each of them, are whole, undivided, in expression. The purpose of creation cannot be served through this kind of oneness though. Where would the lessons be that teach us so much? Wisdom, in it’s many colorings, is revealed through divisiveness. Angels then, as they penetrate the barrier between the “on high” and the “created worlds”, divide, separate and assume two distinct characters. The feminine creates, gives life. The masculine destroys so that new life can follow. This is the essence of the created worlds. If one searches carefully stories of the Lady are to be found. They exist or are hinted at in various historical texts most of which are religious in nature. Do not however make the mistake of thinking that she is anything to do with any Earthly belief system. Think rather in terms of the mother of all. The universe is not a complicated entity except when we look at it as a physical object only. It is so much more. It’s spiritual source and nature is really quite easily understood if only we can manage to set aside our preconceived ideas. One most important thing to realize is that the angels are the only beings who are able to communicate between the source and that which is created. This is the reason that in our history we so often find that a man or woman was visited by an angel and not by God directly. It is not simple and elegant? In the future there will be another story. What topic? It is not yet given. As we listen the Lady speaks further: “In our history we read of incidents where Earth men are visited by others that they call gods. This is a mistake. Our world is not the only one that is home to human beings, nor is it the eldest of these. The Earth has been and is still being visited by outsiders, offworlders, who we, beginning in ancient times, called gods. They are not gods but only other human beings even if their forms were slightly different from ours. Is this proposition so very difficult to accept? These are many who travel looking for new worlds to seed with biological life. It is interesting to note here that there are two root races on our planet which are not native to this globe but whom, through interbreeding and conditioning have come to call the Earth their home. Such migrations are not only common among men here on Earth. They are common in our galaxy too. There is another set of beings that we Earthlings have so often come to call gods as well. These are “higher ranking” human souls that have chosen to remain with the Earth for special purposes usually to do with management of the Earth’s heavens. These, sometimes, make their presence known to men. So often they are (sometimes fearfully) called gods. They are not! It is important OT remember that our planetary system is made of more than just lower human lives. So much more. Shall we call some of these the watchers? Why not? They certainly do watch and guide. Of the above there are many who, by nature of their status and function, do come and go adopting physical bodies for particular needs now and then. These beings which are no more than very advanced humans, adepts and masters, will be engaged with particular jobs which require such abilities. Of these one in particular was (is) the great master soul, Jesus. Because of his responsibilities in the world he is very often referred to as being the Son of God. His immediate superior in the Earth system is the great soul who sits at the head of the Earth’s heavens serving, under the god of our sun, who was called by the Greeks the Christos, the anointed one and later by us, the Christ. The very last comment is the admonishment that we never believe a thing simply because it is said, regardless of who the speaker might be or what lofty title he or she may have. Believe only when our lower rational mind tells us it is the best yet available information. It is much more important to be possessed of wisdom than of knowledge.” At this point the Lady rises and, at her bidding, we seem to sleep the rest of the those who have just gone to a distant place, The universe is filled with wonders to be sure but no story ends until the travelers return safe at home. As the story ends those who look will see the Healing Room garden as it usually is. It a state of tranquility. Blessings, Bartholomew |
''An angel is an imaginary entity.''
Stated as fact. And you know this how? Because you have never encountered one? So this translates to they are of the imagination? Not a sound conclusion. Btw, there is no need to write out (COMMENT), and in bolded caps...this is a forum ... everything we type is our comment. |
''An angel is an imaginary entity.''
They arent imaginary though.... Its sad some ppl dont believe in anything they cant see.... |

Higher mind being answered by lower often produces conflict. No matter. |
I would have to agree with Bartholomew.
on another note Because you haven't seen an Angel does not make them imaginary I have seen Angels multiple times and felt their presence. don't be so dismissive on other peoples stories Namaste |
Very interesting. Thanks for post

Truly and having once seen it? Well, there are no words except to say it was familiar in structure except there were more dimensions... And the colors, they were alive.
Thanks to the Lady without whom we would not have been able to visit. |
