DAWNING OF THE NEW AGE

There are souls of great evolution incarnating on the Earth at this time. Some of them have not been present on the Earth for over ten thousand years. However, they are incarnating into an environment which they find hard to understand. Your world today is so out of balance that it is almost impossible for an evolved child to find the harmony necessary for spiritual growth. It is therefore imperative that an environment be created where these great souls can manifest their true wisdom and potential, and so allow them to be heralders of the New Age.

Responsibility & Choices

I wonder, as you read my words, if on a physical level you are aware of the responsibilities that have been placed upon the shoulders of all evolved souls at this most critical time in the Earth´s evolution. I wonder if you are aware in your innermost beings of the reality of the present world situation and of the choices which Humanity faces at this time. Yes, a new Age is dawning, but many other Ages have come and gone. You yourselves are aware of the events of the Piscean Age and know how its evolutionary cycle has unfolded.

You are aware of the human progress that has been achieved but, equally so, you can recognise the errors that have been made. You can see how Humanity has strayed from its destiny path leading to this moment of world crisis which you face today. What, therefore, is so significant about this new Age? Why is this Aquarian Cycle so much more important for the path of human evolution than any other age, than even the last Piscean Age which witnessed the grounding of the Christ energy.

The Aquarian Age

I will begin by asking you to visualise a ceremony of the ancient Druids, as they met to celebrate the summer solstice. Standing in their circles of stone they would wait expectantly for the sun to rise. They would know the direction and time of its rising, and as they stood in the morning twilight, eyes fixed on the marker stone, so they would be aware of the first rays of light as the sun began to rise towards the visible horizon. You, today, can be compared to those Druids, and the sun is but a symbol of the new Age.

At this time you are experiencing the twilight of the Aquarian Age. You cannot see the Age for it has not yet risen above the visible horizon but, like those Druids, you wait in anticipation for it. You cannot yet see its power and its light. You cannot yet know of the path of its evolutionary cycle. You cannot yet know, unless you are a soul of the highest consciousness, of the picture that this Aquarian Cycle will paint on the Earth.

From One Cycle to Another

Now there are some today who say that they know these facts and, because of this, they are misleading many people by defining the new Age according to their limited vision. It is for this reason that I speak now to all evolved souls on the plane of Earth at this time. Recognise that you are part of a select band of beings who came on the Earth to initiate and transmute, to help the Earth move forward from one cycle to another. You have experienced this event in many lives, in many cycles, and therefore you feel within you a sense of anticipation, the same as you would await the birth of a baby. You know that the seed has been sown, that the baby has formed itself, that the Age is about to dawn, and that at the correct moment it will come into life and will be touched by the same cosmic breath that awakens a baby to life.

You all know that the new Age is soon to dawn. You have within your soul-consciousness the knowledge of the part that you have to play in that birth, the individual responsibilities that you have come to fulfil, for you are the midwives of the Aquarian Age. Although the cosmic energy pattern is present, it still requires individual human activity to ground that cycle to come, in just the same way as the Nazarene grounded the Christ Energy two thousand years ago. It needed his physical presence on the Earth in order to become manifest.

Being Misled

But as we of the Spiritual Hierarchy look down on the Earth at this time we see everywhere that many souls of aged evolution are being misled. It is inevitable, at such a critical time in the Earth´s evolution, that the Forces of Darkness should be present just as much as the Forces of Light. Therefore as you strive to ground the energies of the new Age recognise that what you create now, what you bring into physical manifestation, will attract corresponding energies in the Universe as a whole. Hence the Forces of Darkness would like nothing better at this time than to subvert the path of the Aquarian cycle, for this cycle is destined to be THE GREATEST CYCLE IN HUMANITY´S EVOLUTIONARY PATH. It will surpass even the evolutionary cycle of Atlantis.

Many of you lived in that cycle and have returned now, as part of the karmic pattern for which you are responsible, to prepare the way for the re-emergence of the Atlantean energy. Recognise, therefore, that much of the evil that was present in Atlantis is coming to the surface again. As you look at the planet today, as you observe the quickening of the Earth´s vibration and note the increase in the frequency of natural disasters, the increase in Humanity´s violence, in its self-centredness, in its arrogance, so you cannot but fail to recognise that you are approaching a time of decision. You are approaching a time when Humanity, both individually and collectively, must decide on a path of action.

Divine Plan

To you, perhaps, the concept of Armageddon is frightening. It signifies the release of energies beyond the control of Humanity, but if Humanity did but know it, it rarely controls its environment. Because of its great intellectual progress Humanity has been led into believing that it is the master of its fate, that it is the master of the physical World, that Humanity alone decides the path upon which it walks. But those of you who are aware of the God in all things, who recognise that the Divine Plane alone manifests on this Earth, know in your heart that the cycle which is now beginning was planned aeons of time ago.

It has been seen on other levels and has been prophesied by many beings. It is a necessary path of evolution for this Earth. You are here, therefore, as witnesses to that path of evolution. Within your innermost beings is the knowledge of what is to come. It may not be with you on a conscious level, on a level which you can pull down into everyday physical reality, but within your heart is the knowledge of what is to come and the part that you must play in it.

Creating The New Age Cycle

It is, therefore, of the utmost importance at this time that those of you who have come to herald this new Age, who have come to birth this new child, should be true to yourselves, should be true to the spirit within you. You should strive at all times for purity of thought, word and deed, for as you create now so you are creating for the new Age, you are preparing the ground for the new Age seeds that will come.

As the sun, symbolising this new Age, rises above the visible horizon, and as you greet it as did the Druids of old, let us hope that you will be able to say that the ground has been properly cultivated and that the souls for which you are responsible have been trained and made aware of their responsibilities. We, for our part, pray that as the light of that sun, as the light of the Age, comes down and the seeds begin to shoot, you will be able to look back and say "I have been worthy of the trust that has been placed in me".

THE FUTILITY OF WAR -- PART THREE

I ask you, therefore, in this year of resolution to go deeply within yourselves and to seek your peace for, truly, that peace is the only peace that endures. If you do not have peace in your hearts then you do not have peace in your thoughts, your words or your deeds. You cannot achieve peace by war. You cannot achieve peace by violent action, by aggression. YOU CANNOT ACHIEVE PEACE BY THE DESTRUCTION OF THAT WHICH THREATENS PEACE.

No Peace by War

If you have destroyed an enemy that threatens you, you may have removed that enemy from the physical plane of Earth but what of the thought-forms and the energies that you have created? What of the energies of hatred and revenge you have created? What of the beings who will come back and inherit the mantle of those thought-forms and energies?

Where Is The Victory?

Peace, therefore, involves the quality of humility, of personal surrender. If someone wishes to fight you and you refuse to fight, where is the victory? Though that person may achieve that which they desire they will not be fulfilled by their "victory" if there has been no struggle to achieve it, if it has been given to them freely with love. What is the real nature of surrender? All of you as individuals find it so difficult to surrender, yet the example of all the great Masters has been just that: the release of the physical in loving surrender and from that act of release comes great strength.

If you consider some of the people of this Earth who have stood for peace, who by their very demonstration have shunned war, if you consider the impact that they have had on Humanity you will see that their example is remembered far more than the example of the generals and the soldiers, who achieved peace through war. Peace can be achieved for only a short time through war. That form of peace never lasts. The everlasting peace is the peace that you create with your hearts, with the love that comes from within.

Not Imposing Dominion

Peace is an individual creation. It begins with one person then spreads to two and then to four and so on. Peace is an energy of wholeness which begins individually and then expands. Peace cannot be imposed by above. Peace cannot be imposed by any greater country, by any greater force. Is it not strange that with so many other beings in our Solar Body, with so many other evolved life-forms in our Galaxy, no one seeks to wage war on you? If there are these highly evolved beings from other planets, who visit the Earth in their space ships, with the cosmic power that they possess they could easily establish dominion over this planet and over Humanity as a whole. But they do not do that, rather they seek only to help Humanity along its evolutionary path.

There perhaps is the lesson that you should observe. When you have the power, when you have the consciousness, when you have the ability to impose dominion, you do not use it for self aggrandisement. Your space brothers respect your individuality, allow you the freedom to be what you want to be, to evolve at your own pace, to walk your own path and seek your own destiny. You too should give that freedom and that choice to all those around you.

A Greater Power

So during these critical years, when so much is being decided on the plane of Earth, be strong in yourselves. Know that there is a force that protects you, a power that is greater than any weapon that Humanity will ever create: Divine Love. Recognize that Divine Will controls all things on your plane of life. The note which you sound, the understanding of life which you exhibit, they are your protection. Inner peace is reflected in outer harmony and even though you are faced by energies of extreme disharmony they will not affect you.

Understand Life´s Oneness

Therefore seek that inner peace, seek that inner wisdom. Know it as the one-ness of your Creator, know it as the one-ness of life. Seek that one-ness in all things and you will find that peace, the peace that passes all understanding. Do not think that it is beyond your comprehension, beyond your attainment. Do not think that it can only be obtained through long periods of meditation and prayer and soul-searching. It can be obtained in the twinkling of an eye, in the understanding of the divinity in one´s self, in one´s purpose, in one´s destiny. That is the lesson of these divisive times, the nature of the choice that faces you all, for there are days coming when there will be war, there are days coming when there will be destruction and death. You must choose now whether you are to be a part of it or to rise above it.

THE FUTILITY OF WAR -- PART TWO

 

When can it be said that you are truly at peace? You are in a state of peace when you are at one with your Creator´s Will. When you are in tune with the Infinite you are at peace, and in order to be in tune with the Infinite you have to be self-less, you have to become part of the one-ness of all life, you have to become at one with the Godhead.

The One-ness of Life

If Humanity would but recognize its one-ness, its wholeness or holiness, there would be no need for war. If there were not political, financial or racial divisions there would be no war. Recognize that it is the divisions which Humanity creates that are the seeds of discontent, the seeds which lead to war. Consider in your own lives how often you are at war in your everyday relationships, not only with the people around you but with the other Kingdoms of Matter.

Be aware of how often you are not at one with the Infinite, of how often you make war to get what you want, what you desire, what you wish to achieve, no matter what the cost to those around you or to those who sacrifice to you.

So Little Is Gained

As you look back at Humanity´s past wars you can see that little has actually been gained though millions of people have died. Outwardly it may seem that one country has been prevented from taking over another country, a financial interest has been defended, an ideology has been preserved, but what of that country, that financial interest, that ideology, fifty or sixty years later? The countries that intiated the last World War have achieved many of the aims they sought militarily through other means.

The countries which were your enemies fifty and sixty years ago are now your friends, those which were your friends are now your enemies. It is obvious, therefore, that the sides which oppose each other in war, the power structures which conflict with each other, are human, temporal creations. It is not a question of right or wrong, of goodness or evil, of one side being for God and the other against God, for all is of God. Those that make war are, in a sense, fulfilling the Divine Plan.

Growth And Evolution

It must, of course, be said that God Itself does not desire or initiate war directly as a lesson for Humanity. War is a lesson which Humanity creates of its own choice. Nevertheless, it also cannot be denied that in the act of war great growth and evolution takes place for Humanity. Is it not strange how in a country at war people unite together as never before. The little differences which formerly seperated them are forgotten in the hour of crisis.

As people are faced with the suffering and the loss of war, as they discover the frailty of human existence, so they come to terms with the reality and purpose of life and death and recognize that they take place every minute of the day. That understanding of life, of course, is there for you to grasp whether there is war or not, but in time of war many people achieve great evolutionary breakthroughs in consciousness.

Part Three Follows....

This article is taken from "The Fantastic Teachings of Ramala".

THE FUTILITY OF WAR -- PART ONE

In this World there is a constant threat of war mainly because of the nature of Humanity´s political and financial empires. Much of the struggle that takes place between these empires is hidden from public view.



A Constant Threat

As ordinary individuals living your lives you are far removed from the machinations of those who control these empires. Indeed, you have very little idea of the plans that have been made and are ready to be implemented should the decision be made to go to war on any level.

Throughout the known history of Humanity there has always been war. Hardly a decade has gone by without one country or tribe fighting another country or tribe either to acquire a piece of land, to protect its boundaries and sphere of influence or to gain an advantage that was not held previously. The fact that there has not been a major war for so many years is only because the major powers of the World cannot see a way of achieving victory without great loss to themselves.

If a victory without too great a loss could have been achieved then there would have been war. You are, however, approaching a time of planetary resolution, a time when cosmic factors from beyond the plane of Earth will impel the major powers of this World to make far-reaching decisions, a time when the separatism of the past will have to go, either to be surrendered consciously and willingly or else to be removed forcibly from the plane of Earth.

Seeking Peace

All over the World today there are many who seek peace. They seek it in many ways: through peace movements, through writing and journalism, through marching and demonstration, through religion and prayer. But will they achieve peace in this way? Why has peace always eluded Humanity? Many people see peace simply as the absence of war but, as you well know, that is not true peace, for that form of peace is but an extension of war, especially if you are still plotting and planning to make war.

Peace is not the interval between wars. Can there indeed ever be peace while acts of mental aggression are taking place and weapons of mass destruction are being made? Can one achieve peace simply by getting rid of nuclear weapons or by stating that one is not prepared to use them unless one is oneself threatened by extinction?

International Politics = Power and Greed

The answer to all these questions is something which you as individuals are being forced to consider at this time because of the nature of international politics. Bet before you can do this you first have to decide the nature of your own peace, what you are prepared to accept or reject, to stand up and fight for or to surrender. I think it would be true to say that most people today seek peace externally. They feel that peace is something which has to be achieved through negotiation, through agreement, through reconciliation, but peace has never come to the plane of Earth through such methods.

Although a compromise may be agreed upon and the conflict of interests reconciled, after a few years the old enmities return since the desire for victory is still there. Even though the older generations may remember the scourge of war, there are still politicians who are prepared once again to resort to war as an instrument of national or tribal policy.

An Inward Expression

Can you not see, therefore, that peace is an inward expression. There cannot be peace outwardly unless there is peace inwardly. Moreover, it is the nature of your own inner peace that will decide your fate in the conflicts that are to come, for if you are at peace inwardly then the nature of the energy that you create and send out will attract peace unto you. You are all magnetic beings, attracting unto yourself according to the note that you send out, and though others may be at war you will be at peace. Though others may be engaged in war, though you may be surrounded by war, you need not be a part of it.

At this very moment in time consider how much of your World is in a state of war. Hundreds of thousands of human beings are killing themselves each year and yet you are not a part of that suffering and that slaughter. That is soon to change. Pressures will soon come upon the Western Civilization that will stretch the peace alliances to breaking point. Pressures will come not only from without but also from within. Therefore you, as individuals, at this time of resolution should resolve within your own hearts what is the nature of your own peace.

Part Two Follows....This article is taken from "The Fantastic Teachings of Ramala".

UNIVERSAL MAN -- PART TWO

Click HERE for Part One

First Incarnations

When a soul incarnates on this Earth it will obviously not exhibit as high a state of consciousness and evolution as those who have incarnated for many thousands of lives. Therefore do not try to impose on an unevolved soul a way of life that it does not understand, comprehend or even need. Respect the individuality of all people. Regard them as your brothers and sisters and help them as best you can. Ensure that with the responsibility of a more evolved soul you help them as befits their point of evolution and that in no way do you disrupt their path towards consciousness.

Imposing Western Ideas

One of the greatest errors of recent centuries has been the imposing of western ideas, western religions, western beliefs, on the natives, as they are called, of the colonised countries. Great karma has resulted, which will have to be repaid. Just as individuals incarnate with a destiny, so do countries. That is why, as a whole, some countries suffer and others do not, why some countries are involved in great wars and others are not.

The Law of Karma applies as much to countries as it does to individuals, an therefore the effect of what a country does in one generation will be experienced by those who live in the next. For example, the present generation of Americans is having to pay the karma for the error of those who shipped many thousands of black slaves from the coast of Africa to America, who took them away from their true environment, from the country of their evolution, and placed them in a false and hostile environment.

Patriotism is Nationalism

Mentioned earlier was the fact that the one force which can seemingly unite people in time of war is the emotion known as patriotism. In war people are prepared to make great sacrifices for their country. They are, perhaps, not prepared to die for much else, but they will sacrifice their lives to preserve their country. Patriotism, like a diamond, has many facets, many aspects. I am not going to say that patriotism is an undesirable emotion, although one can point to many examples where it has been abused and used to persuade people into sacrificing their lives in the name of their country.

It is interesting to note, though, that the people who sacrificed their lives usually believed in the cause for which they were fighting. They died, believing in their cause or their country, even though others standing outside the actual conflict could see the error in the actions of those countries who were fighting.

Excuse For Much Evil

Patriotism, sometimes called Nationalism, has often been used as an excuse for much evil. When a country sets out to conquer another country, to enlarge its empire, to gain new possessions, the emotion of patriotism is often generated. You can kill for your country, you are told, because your country demands it. It is not your responsibility. You are only doing what is expected of you. You are fighting for your country.

Likewise, when a country is being attacked, the men and women of that country, who normally would not fight or kill anyone, unite together and are prepared to kill to defend it. They can now justify what, before, they would never have considered or approved of. Moreover, the few people who say they are not prepared to fight, the people whom you call conscientious objectors, people who are not prepared to kill, are despised and held up as objects of ridicule and, indeed, are usually imprisoned.

Level of Soul-evolution

You will judge patriotism according to the level of your soul-evolution. If you are truly an evolved soul and recognize the Earth as a whole and all the peoples on it as one, then you will not be influenced by that emotion. You will not be influenced by lower feelings of patriotism and nationalism, especially when they are used as a means of comparing one race with another, of placing one country above another, of dividing people, of creating hatred and distrust between them.

You will view the emotion of patriotism according to your level of consciousness. If you cannot identify with the Earth as a whole, with your Creator and with the Higher Beings who influence this Earth, then you will of course try to identify with your country. You will say that you are English, French, or American etc., and that will give you a feeling of security, of belonging. Yet, even within a country, you can still have people who regard themselves as not belonging to that country but only to a small part of it. They will say that they come from Wales or Scotland, from the Northern or the Southern States of America, from the East or the West coast. They will think of themselves as belonging only to the smaller unit and will not recognize the whole. You can also have people who regard themselves as belonging only to a city. You can even find people who will not identify beyond their own family.

The Greater Whole

So you see how important it is that, whilst recognizing the significance of the individuality of each and every being, you should also recognize that together you form a greater whole. Every one of you should look at what you consider to be the whole and then take one step further beyond that, for as you evolve you will realize that your concept of the whole is limited. As you advance so you will begin to think not of your town, of your state, of your country, of your race, but of your Earth, and when you think of your Earth then you will begin to think of the Solar System and of your Creator, and of Solar Systems beyond it.

Realize that World Government actually exists within your Solar Body. The other members of the Solar Body practise World Government. Because Humanity on the Earth has not yet evolved to the required state of consciousness it will not, and cannot, participate in such a government. Humanity is still struggling to identify as a one, to realize that it is a one. When that day comes when the Earth as a whole unites in one harmonious vibration and takes its seat in the Chamber of Representatives of the Solar Body, then it will be fulfilling the purpose which its Creator intended and will be displaying the power of its true vibration : Universal Love.

ABOUT THE MOON -- PART THREE

 

A Feminine Energy

Anyone who looks at the Moon, especially at the full Moon, would, I think, accept that beauty is displayed there. The Moon is soft, is feminine, is wisdom. You would associate nothing harsh with the Moon. That is the nature of its influence: for as the Earth is positive, is power, is outward expression, so the Moon is feminine, is wisdom is receptivity, is love.

Therefore, the female of the species on the Earth, being the wisdom and the creativity aspect, vibrates especially to the Moon´s influence. It therefore controls birth to a great extent. Every woman experiences the cycles of her body which, when medical science does not interfere, corresponds to the cycles of the Moon. Therefore, conception can, and should be planned according to its phases. The Moon influences birth not only in the Human Kingdom but in the other Kingdoms of the Earth as well.

Our Consciousness Increases

 I do not wish to go too deeply into Humanity´s spiritual bodies in this article, but for every influence on the physical level of which Humanity is aware, the Moon´s influence is tenfold on the higher levels. In particular, it influences the pineal gland, the receptivity, the wisdom, the learning gland of Humanity, and therefore knowledge and inspiration is obtained under its influence. Consciousness, also, can be increased under the Moon´s influence.

If you have not already tried it, carry out the experiment of trying to learn, of seeking to increase your consciousness, at the full phase of the Moon, for its powers given to the Earth at that time have great significance. Some ancient races were a little aware of this and established some of their religious ceremonies to take place during the full phase of the Moon. Some of the great Masters who have been on this Earth have incarnated, died, or performed significant spiritual acts, both on the physical and on the higher levels of life, according to the phases and the influences of the Moon.

Power Of Full Moon

 The Moon also influences your astral body while you are in the physical, and therefore it can also be a great aid to the use of this body, with all that is involved, especially in the field of psychic phenomena. So for those who seek to develop this particular aspect, this particular spiritual talent, the invocation and the use of the Moon´s power is, again, of paramount importance. If you were to sit in meditation under the light of the full Moon you would feel increased awareness, with the power flowing through your pineal gland and spreading throughtout your whole being. You would feel that greater consciousness, Infinite Consciousness, linking up with yours.

The mind and the brain are also influenced by the Moon. How you think, how you receive inspiration, how you behave, how you use your intellect and reasoning, are to a great extent influenced and controlled by the Moon. The use of its powers can lift those little shutters on the brain, the little valves which, consciously or subconsciously, allow in the vibrations of the cosmos, the experiences of the soul on other levels.

These valves are responsive to the influences of the Moon. You have heard of the expression "moon madness". There are not many who suffer from this affliction but, occasionally, due to faults in the mechanism of the brain, under the influence of the full moon these shutters open and pictures, or images, of other levels of life come into the minds of some people, thus confusing them and destroying the harmony of physical life.

 Phases Of The Moon

 This is the effect of the Moon´s power if it is not controlled. But for those who sit in meditation, correctly linking their consciousnesses to that of their Creator and using the power that the Moon gives, there will be moments of awareness which are both great and sudden. If the Moon shone upon the Earth continuously Humanity would not be able to stand its influence and so, wisely, it appears in phases. These phases are important for they cause cycles on the Earth. The theory of the four phases of the Moon in relation to the Earth is a treatise in itself, but if Humanity was only to experiment a little with the four Kingdoms of Matter, to see which Kingdom responded the most during which quarter, it would greatly improve the quality, the harmony and the understanding of its life on the Earth.

In the past, ancient peoples, although less advanced technologically, were more spiritually in balance. They understood the use and the purpose of the Moon and so could lead a more fulfilled, if not such a technologically advanced, life. If Humanity today was to discover today and use the Moon´s influence and power no one would starve. There would be no droughts. There would be no earthquakes. There would be few natural disasters except for those which Humanity itself caused.

Key To Man´s Progress

 The Moon is always ready to serve the Earth. Why do you look at it, why are you aware of its presence, without using it? Is it because in your intellect, in your ego, you consider that the key to yourself, the key to evolution, the key to spiritual and material awareness, is locked within this Earth and could not be beyond it? Perhaps so. But for those of you who can cast your minds outwards, who can look at the Moon, who can vibrate towards that orb of beauty which reflects so much, including the nature of life on this Earth, you will find the key not only to your earthly progression but to your spiritual progression as well, and even to the progression of the Solar Body in which you live.

ABOUT THE MOON -- PART TWO

Sacred Geometry
The Moon was created and placed precisely in orbit around the Earth so as to exert certain important influences upon it. Humanity today is slowly beginning to become aware of the mathematics known as the sacred geometry of the Earth. The same mathematics can be applied, only on a higher level, to the geometry of the heavenly spheres, for each of the planets is placed in orbit around the Sun and rotates along a set path according to a precise and definite cosmic formula.

In the Ages gone by Humanity has recognized and used this formula, and it will be discovered again in the New Age. The distance of the Earth from the Moon is most critical, and it is vitally important that Humanity does not disturb this balance.

The Critical Balance
Although Man has reached the Moon in his spaceships, his motivation for going there was not correct. Moreover, the use that Man has made of the Moon with his experiments and his behaviour on it has in no way helped to preserve that critical balance, and by exploding his rocket heads and by his experiments on the surface of the Moon he has endangered this delicate balance. This balance is effected and preserved by the jewels which are present both within the Moon and within the Earth.

The function of the jewels on which these two orbs rotate and balance can be likened to the function of the jewels within a watch. If you give a watch a shock and jerk the mechanism then it becomes unbalanced and fails: it is the same with the balancing mechanism between the Earth and the Moon. Of course the many beings on the Moon, together with their brothers and sisters from the other planets, have helped to counteract the effect of Man´s naive experiments.

Man should be aware that in these experiments he risks not only the Moon but the Earth as well, for if he was to explode a bomb of any considerable size on the Moon then the finely balanced relationship between the Earth and the Moon would be destroyed. When you swing a ball on a piece of string around your finger, and then let go, the ball flies away. In a similar fashion, if Man was to upset the relationship between the Moon and the Earth the two orbs would fly apart and the delicate balance of life both on the Earth and on the Moon would be destroyed, never to appear again.

Humanity´s Unawareness
Because Humanity is largely unaware of the invisible influences of the earth, how can it be expected to be aware of the influences of the Moon? Just as Humanity, for the most part, is unaware of the presence of the elementals, the fairies and the nature spirits, the angels and the many beings who appear on the higher planes, just as it is unaware of life on any of the other planets within this Solar Body, so it cannot conceive of life on the Moon.

But there IS life on the Moon. A whole civilization of beings dwells within it. Although they are similar in creation to Humanity, you would not recognize them as human beings because their bodies are shaped differently and they are much smaller in stature. But they do exist, with a high degree of civilization, under the surface of the Moon.

Life On The Moon
Remember that every soul that incarnates onto a planet builds a body for itself according to the nature of the planet on which it incarnates. You, who dwell on the Earth, build yourselves a physical body which is most suited for life on the Earth. You use the matter of this Earth to build your physical body, and the mechanisms within it are those which can use the oxygen of the air, the water and the fruits of the land. Your body is designed to live in the temperature range that is prevelent on the Earth. In like manner the beings who dwell on the Moon build their bodies according to the nature of the Moon.

A little concerning the conditions on the Moon is now known to Humanity, and if you were to sit down and consider what sort of body would be needed for life on the Moon you could perhaps conceive of the form and way of life of the Moon beings before such facts are discovered by other means. The Moon was put in orbit around the Earth to help in the Earth´s evolution.

The Moon beings are the servants of the Earth. The nature of their evolution is different to yours. They do not possess that gift of free choice which your Creator has given to you so that you can advance your consciousness. They are directed by other forces. They fulfil the role of the Moon, helping the Earth at all times. Their power is given to you continually, regularly, according to the cycles of the Moon.

Influences Of The Moon
The spiritual number to which matter vibrates on the Earth is four. You are aware of the four Kingdoms of Matter, the four Races, the four points of the compass, the four seasons and so on. The Moon, vibrating to that number, in your service, has four phases, or four quarters. Each of the Moon´s quarters corresponds to one of the four Kingdoms of Matter on the Earth and, during each of the quarters, the Kingdom associated with that quarter uses the power that the Moon gives according to the nature of the Kingdom and its cosmic purpose on Earth.

Humanity can accept that the Moon moves the water of the Earth because scientists are aware of the tides and have proved that its influence is responsible for them. Is it not strange how scientists, having realized that the Moon can affect the tides, look no further, for, surely, if the Moon can do this there is much else that it can do as well. In the present Age the human physical body is composed of ninety per cent water. Can the Moon not affect that? Of course it can!!
