LOVE -- THE ENERGY OF CREATION -- PART FOUR

This last article about Love as the energy of Creation consists of a selection of questions and answers put to the Master from some of the students. I am sure you will find the Master´s replies quite interesting.



Homosexuality

QUESTION: Where does homsexuality which is so prevalent today come into all this?? Is a sexual relationship between members of the same sex a creative act as you define it??

ANSWER: Sexual intercourse between two men or two women is not an act of creation. It is not a correct use of the creative energy. It is an abuse. It is a use of the energy for personal pleasure. It is a use of the energy for egotistical ends, regardless of the physical cost, and no good thing will ever come from it on any level. Having said that, let me make it quite clear that a loving relationship between two men or two women can be a positive and creative union on many levels. Remember the story of David and Jonathan in the Bible.

Contraception

QUESTION: Is contraception wrong?? It does, afterall, prevent unwanted children, but does it not also prevent destined children from coming on the Earth?? Also, if the World does not practise contraception are we not going to overpopulate and destroy or planet??

ANSWER: Contraception is necessary only because of Humanity´s misuse of the sexual act. If Humanity used the sexual act with correct motivation, if it understood the true nature of physical conception, there would be no need for contraception. Conception is not just due to the union of the male and female reproductive cells. There is also a cosmic act of union taking place and if you recognise that fact then you will begin to understand how conception occurs. Evolved souls agree on the higher levels of life before they even incarnate to allow a child to come through them on the physical plane.

Sometimes that agreement is made two or three thousand years before the birth. So the responsibility for having a destined child is inown and recognised for a long time. Evolved souls nearly always honour that agreement, although they may limit the occasions on which the child can come through them, because they are aware of the destiny of the child coming through them and its impact upon the World. This would have been the case of Mary and Joseph with the Master Jesus. Humanity has to learn to trust its Creator and to createin Its image according to Its divine Will and Plan.

Do you really control your physical destiny?? Do you really control when you have your children?? To a small degree you do, but only to a very small degree. You can choose to say "No" to your children, destined or otherwise, just as you can choose to say "No" to many other things, but thereafter the pressure of life will always be reminding you of the promises that you made until you honour them.

I myself do not believe that there are many evolved souls waiting to come through to Earth who cananot get through to this plane of life because of the use of contraception. There may be a very few, but at a time like this, when it is so important to have the right souls upon the plane of Earth, all those who are meant to be here will be here.

Love for Love´s Sake

QUESTION: You have talked about sex being used either for creation or for pleasure, but you haven´t talked about sex as an act of love. Why cannot one make love for love´s sake??

ANSWER: How does one make love for the sake of love?? Love is not a romantic, storybook ideal. It is the energy of your Creator pulsating through you. When you are in tune with that energy you are in love. When you are fulfilling your Creator´s will for you, when you are acting selflessly, you are in love. Love is not something that can be planned and created. You cannot say that we will make love tonight or tomorrow. That is not love. Love is something far higher than that. Love is a spontaneious act of creation. You can make love to fulfil the principle of love only in the sense that you are responding to the energy of your Creator, not to your own desires or pleasures.

It is the love of creation that creates the desire for sex. It is not the other way around. To make love with someone seeking love is seeking an illusion and you will never find it. Love is. Love never will be and never has been. It is now. It is the joy of the moment. You cannot seek it. It seeks you. When you read in the romantic novels of people make love, that is not the love of creation, that is the love of the ego. When the I is present so is desire. True love is an act of cosmic creativity not of human frailty.

Destined Child

QUESTION: How can you be sure that you will have a destined child. Cannot any soul slip in if it is given the opportunity??

ANSWER: When you are in tune with the Universe, when you are acting only from your highest centre and with the highest motivation you can only attract the highest to you. That is the Law of the Universe. Right action produces the right things in your life because you are in harmony with life and everything around you. Right enforces right. Conversely it is only wrong action that produces wrong things in your life, when you create from your lower centres. The nature of creation is controlled by your behaviour in thought, word and deed.

Sex Before Marriage

QUESTION: Young people today find it difficult to cope with all the sexual energy present in our society. There is so much pressure to behave like everyone else and experiment sexually before marriage. What advice can you give??

Society does not compel, only impel. It is surely a measure of your society today that if you are a virgin when you marry you are thought to be abnormal, whereas two centuries ago you were thought to be abnormal if you were not a virgin. You have lost the understanding of the virgin principle, of what it is to be a virgin, and I use that principle for both male and female. To be a virgin is to be pure in thought, word and deed, is to channel the creative energy correctly. The original concept of men and women not having sexual relations until they were married was not just because of social morality, it was to preserve one´s purity for the act that mattered most, the act of creation. If you have made a hundred attempts at creation before you produce your own child, where lies the purity of your creation.

Now society will not change overnight. What we of the Spiritual Hierarchy are trying to do is to lead young people into an understanding of what is really involved in the sexual act, to make them think for themselves and to realise that one can be in society without actually following all the customs of society. It is possible to be a virgin and have a happy life!

Insecure Without Sex

QUESTION: The trouble today is that because people associate love with the sexual act they feel insecure unless they commit the sexual act. They feel that their partner doesn´t love them. They feel that the sexual act is a necessary bonding.

ANSWER: If that is so, then they are not in love.

A Selfless Emotion

QUESTION: So are you saying that people who are in love in the true sense of the word do not need to commit the sexual act unless they are to conceive a child??

ANSWER: Love is a selfless emotion. By its very expression it allows you to see in your partner the highest potential that you would wish for them on this Earth. You love them not for what you need from them, not for what they can give you, but for what they are. Such a love does not need to be supported by the sexual act; especially if one of the partners is an unwilling participant. If I could leave you all with one thought, it would be that it is not sex that makes the world go round. It is Love!

LOVE -- THE ENERGY OF CREATION -- PART THREE

It is the pursuit and understanding of love, the creative energy of the Cosmos, that will give you the ecstasy that you seek. You cannot have ecstasy without love.



Sexual Intercourse

You cannot obtain love from sex. You cannot obtain love even from the creation of a child. Love must come first. Any time you have to ask somebody if they want sexual intercourse you should not be doing it. Any time you have to pursue someone to obtain sexual intercourse you should not be doing it. For it is the bonding of souls on a higher level of life that leads to the true act of sexual creation. It should take place without need of thought. Where thought intrudes with its desire for pleasure, when sexual satisfaction becomes the primary goal, then love is not present. It is the ego that seeks pleasure, not the soul, and when one creates with this motivation one is burdening oneself down for lives to come.

Overcoming Limitation

The young people of today face a difficult task. They have to ask themselves if there can be a form of human relationship different to that which the World demonstrates today?? Can one live without sex in the sense that your World uses the word?? Can one live without the constant need for obtaining sexual pleasure?? Have you ever asked yourself those questions?? Have you ever considered the possibility that the act of love does not require the act of sexual completion and, indeed, that when you create through perfect love in imitation of your Creator that no sexual act is necessary at all?? That is how your Creator creates -- through the perfect breath.

You are condemned to create through sexual organs. You are limited in your point of expression by that fact, but recognise that it is only a limitation. You must seek the path beyond it. For most people that moment is many lives and many cycles down the path of evolution, but it is a limitation that you will eventually overcome.

Energy of Creation

So I ask the young people of today to consider these questions. It is possible, if one is in perfect harmony and balance, to live without the sexual act. Recognise that the energy which is used in that act is a creative energy and can be redirected to create in other ways. Within marriage, as I have said, the sexual act was intended solely for the creation of destined children, that is children who chose to come through their parents before they even incarnated into physical matter. So it is therefore a matter of cosmic creation.

When a child is destined there is no need to perform the sexual act every day for a month to ensure conception. The energy of love between the parents will decide the correct time and the correct place without them even being aware of it. For creation, although Humanity does not realise it, is not solely within the province of human will.

Constructive or Destructive?

The energy of creation, then, is yours to use, to use positively or to waste, to use for good or for evil, for construction or for destruction. Even on the physical level you can see the nature of its power. You can witness the jealousies, the hatreds, the divisions, the destruction it can produce. Likewise you can see the constructive side: children born out of perfect harmony and love, carrying forward the evolutionary cycle of the Human Race. Every time that you perform the sexual act consider what forms you are creating. Are you creating selfishly or selflessly, are you creating for your own pleasure or are you creating for the evolution of the Cosmos?? Are you creating an energy which when you die and return to the higher planes of life you will be happy to acknowledge as your child, and take responsibility for, as is your birthright?? Or will you, perhaps, when you meet that energy after your death fail to recognise that is is your creation, and therefore your responsibility, and wish to disown it?? That choice is created every time you perform the sexual act, so consider carefully.

Understand Your Responsibility

Your World today desperately needs people who will use the act of creation with responsibility, who will use that energy wisely, not only to ensure harmony in their own evolutionary pattern but to bring balance to the World as a whole. They must exemplify the correct use of the sexual energy so that the children of the Aquarian Age may be helped into an understanding of the true relationship of male and female, of positive and negative, and of the correct use of the act of creation.

It is a great responsibility that has been placed upon the shoulders of a few evolved souls for if they fail then that misuse of the sexual act will destroy not only them but the World in which they live. We who look from the higher planes of life can see this so clearly. Positive creation means a positive World, a positive Cosmos. Negative creation means a negative World, a cataclysmic destruction. That is the importance of the energy of creation.

LOVE -- THE ENERGY OF CREATION -- PART TWO

One cannot deny responsibility for what one has created, and if what you have created, in your earthly sense, goes astray in the World and performs evil then you are responsible for that evil too.


Responsibility and Burdens

Every time you perform the sexual act you are creating responsibilities and burdens for yourself. On the physical plane of life you know only too well that when you create a baby you are also creating a lifetime´s responsibility. For twenty years you are tied to that being until it has established its point of consciousness on the Earth. From the moment of birth until it can stand on its spiritual feet at the age of twenty-one you are responsible for nurturing that being. Deny that responsibility and you create karma for yourself for lives to come. Deny that responsibility on the higher or lower levels of life and you do just the same. You burden yourself down for many lives to come.

Let me give you an example. A thought-form which you create in a moment of lust is picked up by one of your less-evolved brothers. He, in his turn, imitates that thought-form and creates in lust himself from which comes a child. You are equally responsible for that child. You are therefore tied to that spirit for many lives, until such time as the responsibility for its point of evolution has been balanced according to the Law of Karma. That is the true nature of the responsibility for the creative energy.

Learning Control

Now I say this not to make you afraid of the energy of creation but so that you may understand it more fully, for you have come on the Earth to learn to be a Master of creation. You first have to learn to control your physical body, your thoughts and emotions, to master these and to place yourself on the path of initiation. Then you have to learn to master the energy of creation. You can create on many levels and in many ways as I have said. If you are a Master, then like Jesus, you can create in physical form at your will. You can multiply the loaves and fishes. You can resurrect or recreate life. You can control all physical matter. This is as nothing. All of you are walking the path to that knowledge. That is the nature of the power which you seek and which one day you have to master.

A Distorted Understanding

At this moment in time all of you are seeking to master a low level of creative energy. You are seeking to understand physical creativity. That understanding is distorted by the World in which you live, for the World in which you live is governed by sexual energy, by the force of human sexuality. Young people today growing to physical maturity have little idea of the correct use of sexual energy. They do not understand its nature and what it seeks to do.

Let me state clearly now that the sexual act was intended solely for the procreation of the species. That is its sole purpose and function and if you are at all honest with yourselves you will know that to be true. Today, however, the sexual act has become synonymous with the pursuit of pleasure, but a pleasure which can never be satiated.

Consider the young men and women today as they go around having sexual relationships with different people, constantly seeking a sexual fulfilment which ever evades them. They change their partner, they change their sexual habits, they change their social environment, constantly seeking the illusion of the perfect sexual relationship. But even if they were to find this great pleasure which they so desperately seek, does it signify the ending of the search for them, the finding of their destined partner?? No!! That is never the case, for such people are constantly searching, looking outwards, looking even beyond the bonds of marriage, for a sexual pleasure that does not exist except in their own thoughts.

Side-tracked By Illusion

Today sex has changed the tradional path of human evolution. The search for sexual pleasure, the ecstasy of the perfect orgasm, has replaced spiritual ecstasy. Whereas the wise beings of old would seek spiritual ecstasy, people today seek sexual ecstasy. You might not think that they are the same, but truly they are. Today millions of souls are being seduced from the path of spiritual evolution. They are being side-tracked from their destiny paths for many years in a fruitless search for an illusion, whereas if they had but followed the path of love, the creative energy of the Cosmos, they would have so easily obtained what they really sought.

LOVE -- THE ENERGY OF CREATION -- PART ONE

Humanity has divorced love from the sexual act and it is this misconception which more than anything else symbolises the problems now facing Humanity.


The Master explains :



The Misuse of Sex

If I was to ask most people on the Earth today how they would define the energy of Creation they would, perhaps, smile knowlingly at me and say that it was the energy of the sexual act. But we of the Spiritual Hierarchy, who dwell on the higher planes of life looking down on the Earth, would give a very different answer, for we would say that the energy of creation was LOVE.

I would go even further and would say, because I can see the planes both above and below the physical plane or life, that it is the misuse of the sexual act which hastens humanity towards a cataclysmic upheaval. There is no more pressing problem that faces Humanity at this time than the understanding of the sexual act and what lies behind it on the higher levels of life. For if Humanity does not control the World population, and limit the influx of new souls, the presence of all those young energies on the crowded plane of Earth will lead to an imbalance that will destroy this planet.

The Basic Principle

The energy of creation is a pure energy which emanates from our Creator and, because of this, the principle of creation is the the same no matter whether one talks of the birth of a planet or the birth of a baby. It is only the degree of manifestation that varies according to the vibratory rate of the being that is creating. It is that vibratory rate, that point of consciousness, which decides the nature and the form of conception and birth. The basic principle remains the same no matter whether one is an interplanetary or human being. One creates in the image of one´s God, exercising the gift of creation given to one by one´s God. One creates in ITS image using the energy of ITS love.

As you look at the visable Universe through your telesopes and see the many galaxies that have been created, as you look up at the night sky and see the stars in their appointed place, as you observe the order of even your own planetary system, so you can see there the perfection of divine creation. In just the same way Humanity should be able to look at the perfection of its own creations. That is the awesome nature of the responsibility that has been placed in your hands by your Creator.

Human Distortion

If you look in a dictionary at the meaning of the word "sex" you will see that it is defined quite simply as male and female or positive and negative. Furthermore, if you look at the meaning of the word "sexual" you will see that it simply means pertaining to male or to female. But in the World in which you live today do not those words have so much more connotation?? Does not a large part of your daily living revolve around those two words?? Do they not reflect the most energy absorbing aspect of your physical being??

This is because the nature of life on the Earth today has been distorted beyond all recognition. The result of this is that the souls of the Aquarian Age incarnating into physical life at this time have to overcome a great obstacle. They have to rediscover the true nature of the creative energy before they themselves create. They have to reject the sexual conditioning of the World in which they find themselves and recognise that the nature of sexuality has become so distorted that they are not seeing a true picture.

Creating on Many Levels

The sexual act is an act of creation and, as is the case with any creative act, when it is performed you create on many levels of life. You create on the physical level in the way of which you are well aware, but you also create on levels above and below the physical. The motivation of your body, mind and spirit at the moment of that act of creation will decide the nature of what you create.

As gods in the making you were created in the image of your God. You were given the divine gift of free choice and the priceless right of self-creation or self-reproduction. You must therefore be responsible, just as your Creator is, for everything that you have created.

Every single time you perform the sexual act, even if you are not creating babies on the physical level, you are creating spirit babies and spirit thought-forms on either the higher or lower levels of life. You create on many different planes of life. Just as you should take respnsibility for what you have created on the physical plane, as a mother and father take care of their baby, so you must take responsibility for what you have created on the other planes of life.
