We are living in a world in crisis. This situation exists because our world is in political, financial and ecological crisis and, above all, because it is in spiritual crisis.
Intuitive Understanding
Many people in the world today have rejected the discipline of religious dogma but have not yet replaced that discipline by self-discipline, by developing their own intuitive understanding of the purpose of life. They have become so caught up in the physical reality of life, in the struggle to exist, especially here in the Western World where life is lived at such a frenetic pace, that they do not have the time to go deeply within themselves to seek the purpose of their being and the purpose of their life on the physical plane of Earth.
It is not my intention, indeed, it is not possible for me to tell you the purpose of your physical life. That is for you to discover through your own intuitive channel. What I would like to do, however, is to present to you my understanding of Humanity´s consciousness for it is only by changing Humanity´s consciousness that you can change the pattern of human behaviour and so save your troubled World.
Fear of Death
Nearly all of you live in the shadow of the fear of death. This fear is brought about because you do not understand the purpose of death. If you think about it, if there was no such thing as death, if you did indeed live for ever and never died, if you were in fact like the sailors in the legend of the Flying Dutchman, condemned to live for ever on the plane of Earth, there would soon come a time when you would beg for death, when you would pray to be removed from physical life!! If you did but recognise it, then, death really is a saviour. It is for you the means of transition back to a plane of reality from this plane of unreality. You dwell for the most part on higher planes of life, on higher planes of consciousness, on planes of reality, and you incarnate on Earth, manifesting aspects of your spirit, in order to join this school of life and partake of its lessons.
Of Lasting Value
A wise man once placed money in its correct perspective by saying that you cannot take it with you when you die. After death money is of no significance whatsoever, and that is also true of all physical matter. When you die you cannot take it with you. You incarnate onto the physical plane of life with spiritual consciousness, and that alone, and when you leave that plane you take nothing with you but that spiritual consciousness. Now that is not to say that there are not some beings who after passing over onto the higher planes of life are still so caught up in the material aspects of life that they are unable to release them.
Such people look down on the physical plane of Earth which they have recently left and watch with great concern what is happening to their so called "possessions", to all the material things they acquired on Earth and have not yet released. They can spend much time wathcing and waiting when they should be moving on to other planes of living, to other lessons of life. Most people, though, gladly release everything physical at death in just the same way as they release the higher planes at the moment of their physical birth. If you would be recognise it, therefore, the only thing of lasting value to you is your CONSCIOUSNESS.
Lesson of Physical Life
You incarnate onto the physical plane of Earth to evolve your consciousness. That is the sole purpose of your physical incarnation, the reason for you being in this school of life which you call Earth. Now that does not mean that you can ignore the physical reality of Earth. You must be responsible for the physical body in which you dwell, your fellow human beings, the society in which you live, the material possessions which are placed in your guardianship. That is all part of the lesson of physical incarnation: to handle the Earth plane with consciousness. But that is not the total lesson. You must learn to handle your physical reality with responsibility, but you must also learn to ground and manifest your spiritual consciousness. You must learn that your consciousness is a tool for you to use on Earth, a means by which you can express the deep cosmic knowledge which you possess.
