NOTE:
This
answer was given on July 14, 2007, during the Shangra-la conference
in Los Angeles, California.
Answer from El Morya:
Jesus has given an answer of how there can be an outpouring
of the Spirit at the beginning of a new spiritual cycle and many
people can tune into it and move along with it. This is also the case
with Ellen White, who tuned into the movement in the Holy Spirit and
brought forth a teaching that had some value but was not from the very
beginning a pure teaching. Partly because she could not free herself
from her own background and free herself from the mindset of the Christian
movement.
And this is a pattern you will see over and over again, where there
are people who have some attunement, some awareness of new concepts
and ideas, but they are still so attached to something in the old world
view that they are not willing to give it all up, they are not willing
to rethink everything. And thus, as Jesus described with Mohammed,
they cannot bring forth an entirely pure message but it becomes colored
by their state of consciousness.
And thus, you will see that there are many movements out there that
have elements of truth, elements that are true and that if internalized
can empower people to grow. Yet there is also a mixture of ideas that
if they are not transcended and understood from a higher perspective
will cause people to stagnate and not move beyond a certain point.
So the sadness is that many movements do enable people to grow beyond
a certain level of consciousness but do not allow them to lock in to
the fact that the spiritual path is an ongoing process that must never
come to a halt. For you must continue to transcend anything and everything
until you suddenly find that you have transcended the material universe
for good and have no desire or need to go back.
And so in any movement you find, you need to be alert to the potential
that there can be ideas that can give you transcendence and other ideas
that will halt your progress. And therefore, many people have found
a new teaching or movement and have experienced genuine growth for a
time. But then they have come to that point where they have stagnated
because they were not willing to look beyond certain outer ideas, internalizing
the true spiritual meaning behind them and therefore continuing the
movement of transcendence.
Question: Does the same answer apply to the Fillmores and
the Unity Church?
My beloved, it applies to
any movement or organization that does not have a living presence of
progressive revelation. For is it not so, my beloved, that we of the
Ascended Host are the spiritual teachers of humankind? Thus, we represent
the reality of the spiritual path. Which as we have said many times
is the never-ending process of the River of Life itself, the River of
God's eternal, constant self-transcendence.
And thus, as true spiritual teachers, we will never stop giving forth
progressive revelation. Both on an individual basis in people's own
hearts, but also through various new initiatives that can take many
forms, as was said earlier, not necessarily having the appearance of
a spiritual or religious movement. But any movement bringing forth a
new transcendental idea is part of the ongoing movement of progressive
revelation.
So any movement that has stagnated, that says, "Yes there was progressive
revelation for a time. But now it has stopped for various reasons,"
well that movement has then lost the thread of contact to the ongoingness
of the River of Life that we are.
Again, this does not mean that people cannot use a teaching from such
a movement to rise beyond a certain level of consciousness. For you
see, my beloved, a particular movement might have started out for the
specific purpose of bringing forth a teaching that would enable people
who are at a specific state of consciousness to start the process of
going beyond that level of consciousness, rising to higher levels.
And so a movement might have brought forth teachings that will allow
anyone to rise from that particular level to whatever level the movement
reached before progressive revelation stopped. And so it is still viable
for many movements to be in existence, for they can help people rise
from one level to the highest level of that movement.
The risk of course is that people can then get stuck at the same level
where the movement got stuck. And that is why, again, those who are
the more aware spiritual students need to realize that you can never
stop transcendence. For when you do, you will inevitably stagnate and
go backwards, for you cannot follow the ongoingness of the River of
Life that is God's consciousness.
