GUIDANCE FOR THE YOUNG -- PART THREE

The time is now long passed for young people of today to pursue the ways of idleness. It is time for action. It is time for work as Humanity has never worked before.

Forms of Stimulants

When I refer to drugs I am not talking only of the drugs which young people are using today but also of the many other forms of stimulants which are used by Humanity, for all of them do damage to your higher bodies. Medical science has been able to point to a few specific diseases of the physical body which can be attributed to alcohol, to cigarettes and to other herbal stimulants, but it has yet to discover the real damage that they cause. It is the disharmony which stimulants cause to your higher bodies that you cannot see. The more you take these stimulants the more you disharmonise yourself and the more you place yourself in a position when you will never be able to make a correct decision with regard to your life.

Today, therefore, the danger is that many young people have so abused their bodies that they stand little chance of ever regaining their destiny path, not only because of the damage done to their physical bodies in terms of the nerves, the brain and the link between the brain and the mind, but also because they have placed themselves in a position where they will never be able to regain a state of normality and to see the condition in which they really exist. It is difficult to tell a person who is drunk that they are making a fool of themselves, because they will never accept it. It is the same with a person using drugs or cigarettes. The ego is so in control that it will not be controlled.

Time For Action

The time is now long passed for the young people of today to pursue the ways of idleness. It is time for action. It is time for work as Humanity has never worked before. That is not to say that you must work around the clock without rest, without time for spiritual development and upliftment, but that the whole concept of work today is incorrect because of the way in which Humanity lives.

If you look back at the lives of many of the great Masters you will see that they led simple, yet active, lives and that they followed trades which employed their hands as well as their brains. They did not incarnate into what, no matter what the Age, one would call the top technological or political jobs of the time. They chose simple tasks of humble work, for it is in such work that you can best harmonise your being. Indeed, it can perhaps be said that the simpler the work, the easier the path to bodily harmony.

Changing Society

Today there are many jobs which the old souls now incarnating in physical bodies will not, and should not, accept. Those which involve the prostitution of the Animal, the Vegetable, the Mineral and the Human Kingdoms should, of course, be rejected, but what the young people of today do not always realise is that they change society not by avoiding it, not by shunning it, not by establishing in isolation their own way of life, but by mixing with society expressly to demonstrate their own way of life. Society can only be changed from within, and that is the primary purpose for which the young people of today have incarnated. They have incarnated to change society.

As one looks around the World today one can see the influence of young people in many fields. They have brought a breath of fresh air to many of society´s institutions and formalised ways of life. Young people today are not prepared to accept automatically the judgements and standards of their elders and, supposedly, betters. They bring with them the knowledge and the wisdom which they have acquired over many incarnations and, slowly, they are changing society. But the change is not occurring at the rate at which it should because so many of the young people of today are ignoring their duties and are denying their responsibilities not only to themselves but also to their Creator.

Perfect Inner Balance

How then are the young people of today to change themselves so that they may become responsible members of society and fulfil the destinies to which they have agreed?? Firstly, remember that it is in the simplicity of life that you will advance. Secondly, you must learn to become balanced, to control your emotions. You must realise that there is no reason whatsoever for sickness or disease within the physical body. Recognise it as the temple of the soul, and harmonise it with all that is around you. You must learn through meditation, concentration and, above all, perfect inner balance, to control your body, to dissolve sickness, to eliminate weaknesses of the flesh, to eat and enjoy the fruits of the Earth which are your birthright to enjoy, but not to make food and drink your master.

Thirdly, you must harmonise yourself with Nature. You must become at one with her. Be aware of the wind, of the mountains, of the rain and of the trees. Grow to listen to them. Grow to communicate with them, to recognise the elementals and the devas, and to know that they too have a function to perform which you must respect. Fourthly, learn to commune with yourself and with the God within you, so that in times of crisis you know what to do and there is no doubt, no uncertainty, no waiting: there is only the certainty of your soul evolution which tells you what to do, so that when disaster looms nigh you will not be there, so that when disease threatens you will not suffer.

Sharing Your Wisdom

Obviously, if you are to achieve these four objectives it will mean that you will have to lead a life very different from that which society advocates today. So be it. It is by leading such a life that you will change this World, but remember that that way of life has to be seen by others, that it has to be lived amongst the peoples of the World, and that you have to work alongside those who do not understand in order to teach them. How are you, with your knowingness, for example, to convince those who are destroying present-day society through their political and financial views if you are not in a position to influence them?? It must be amongst society that you work. It must be amongst society that you demonstrate. It must be amongst society that you teach.

The Choice is Yours

So I say to young people today: the future of this planet lies in your hands. There are many evolved souls still to incarnate who will play a great part in the cataclysm which is to come, but it is you who are now approaching the age of thirty who will be responsible for the period of transition, who will have to face the death, the disease and the destruction. If, at this present time, you do not establish the way of life that you have known before then you, too, will suffer the fate of many less evolved souls and will perish. As always, the choice is yours, but remember that many of you died in the cataclysm of Atlantis for the same reason: you were not prepared to subjugate that ego and to look beyond the self to the common purpose of life on this planet Earth. You are faced now with that same choice. The Lords of Karma have decreed. How will you answer??

GUIDANCE FOR THE YOUNG -- PART TWO

As one looks at the lives of many of the young people of today I have to say that their basic motivation, and it is one which has been caused entirely by their parents together with the society in which they have been brought up, is that of self-gratification.

Ignorance

Many young people also lack awareness, for basically, unawareness is selfishness: it is ignorance of the needs of other people, it is thinking only of the self to the exclusion of all those around. Young people today are for the most part selfish. They have not been taught the values of living in a true family union. They have not been taught the values of living in a true group or society. They have only been taught to imitate their parents and society around them, which teaches that they should look first to the self, next to the family, next to the country, and only then to the World.

Lack of Spiritual Guidance

Hand in hand with this breakdown of modern civilisation has come the decline of organised religion. This in itself was destined to happen, but nothing has come to replace it, and because of this the spiritual guidance which is the essential birthright of every young person has been missing. You therefore have the young people of today living in an affluent age, which supports their whims, searching around for a form of guidance and a purpose to their lives which appeals to the ego, to the self. Do not assume, however, that my words apply to all the young people of today, for they do not. There are many young people who have guidance, who have motivation, who are fulfilling their destinies.

But.... equally so, there are many lost souls who do not possess that guidance, who are not on their destiny paths and who give cause for much concern, for it is the young people of today who are to be the founders of the New Age. Amongst them are many souls of great wisdom and evolution but because, as children, they have not been stimulated and encouraged in the right way, they have allowed their personalities to take over their very beings to the extent that they think only of their personalities and not of their higher selves. It is to these young people that I speak in this article.

Searching for a Purpose

Being of aged evolution, many of you have experienced levels of life in past incarnations on the Earth which were far removed from the ones in which you find yourselves today. You look back to the Ages when true spirituality existed on the Earth, to the great days of Atlantis, when Humanity did not live in so dense a body, when the Earth was not so wrought with devastation, disease and disharmony and, once more, you desire to experience that stage of evolution. That is why so many of the young people of today are turning to drugs, for within their soul memory is the knowlede of the use of drugs in those days of Atlantis.

Drugs were used in Atlantis by the priests of the temples, but I would stress that they were used only by evolved souls who had passed many testing physical and spiritual initiations, and who were using them under the strictest guidance and control, with the purest of motivation. Today, young people use drugs as a form of escapism, to avoid the realitites of physical life. If they cannot understand the nature of life around them, if they cannot find a purpose in life around them, then they try to reach another plane of existence and hope that there is one there.

The Effects of Drugs

I cannot stress too much the dangers inherent in this. Drugs can lift you, drugs WILL lift you, onto a higher plane of consciousness. That cannot be denied, but by so doing you are overcoming the inherent defence mechanism of your physical bodies which your Creator has wisely provided for you. Until you are in perfect harmony and balance, until you possess the wisdom, the understanding and the knowledge to recognise what exists on those higher planes of life and know how to handle what you will meet there, all that you are doing is putting your total incarnations into jeopardy, for you will so unbalance yourselves that you will be unable to fulfil your destinies.

What is the point of experiencing the higher planes of life if you cannot understand them?? What is the point of experiencing the higher planes of life if you cannot bring those experiences back to the physical level in an understandable and definable form, for how can you describe the colours and shapes of the astral plane in terms of the colours and shapes of the physical plane?? Moreover, the effect of drugs on the physical body is most damaging.

Medical science has yet to discover this fully -- and I will not at this time go into specific illnesses -- but even the drugs that are considered harmless have a permanent and lasting effect on your physical body, for they are creating disharmony between your higher bodies. Moreover, if you could but see the effect that drugs have on your etheric body, the energy giving body, you would be amazed. Drugs wreak havoc with this particular body, leading to a loss of energy and subsequent apathy and ill health.

Lessons of Earth

You have come onto the Earth to learn the lessons of the physical, not the lessons of the astral, the emotional or the mental planes: you have incarnated on the physical plane of Earth to learn the physical lesson of Earth at this moment in time, and only if you are of great evolution and know exactly what is taking place as you rise onto those higher levels of existence should you use drugs.

Let the great Masters who have incarnated on the Earth be an example to you, for at no time did they advocate, or indeed practise, the use of stimulants to achieve higher levels of consciousness. They taught always that Humanity must reach these levels through its own inner development, and that it must work and strive with all that it possesses to achieve the knowingness of its Creator. But to many of the young people of today who have known only idleness it is the easy way, the quickest way, to get what the self wants, which appeals.

GUIDANCE FOR THE YOUNG -- PART ONE

One of the faults in our society today is that it divides itself into various segments. The old think they have no link with the young, the young think that they have nothing in common with the old, and so division is created and the interchange, the communication, between old and young which is so essential for both their developments is restricted.

Full Physical Maturity

When I refer to a young person I am, of course, referring to a person who is young in physical years, not young in soul evolution for, truly, at the present time there are a large number of evolved souls incarnating into young physical bodies. When I talk of a young person I am talking of a person under the age of thirty, for that is the age when full physical maturity is generally reached.

It is at the end of the thrirtieth year that the soul has opened and sensitized the three lower chakras (spiritual centres) of the body. In each of the first three ten-year cycles one of the three lower chakras is developed, and it is only when the third chakra, the solar plexus, the emotional chakra, has been developed, that a person has fully reached physical maturity.

Time of Great Testing

Because of the situation in which the World exists today, with only a short time to go before a cataclysmic change and a rebirth of the surface of this Earth occurs, it must be remembered that the souls who incarnate upon the Earth at this time do so for very specific and destined reasons. It is a difficult time in which to incarnate, with difficult lessons to learn.

Indeed, at this most critical time in the Earth´s evolution, whilst it does present a great opportunity for learning and spiritual advancement, it is also a time of great testing. Because of this many of the young people today will fall by the wayside, but there should be no recrimination, no blame, no feelings of guilt, for this is a time of testing which young people would normally not have to face.

One´s Own Choosing

All those people who are now in their youth chose to incarnate into these dramatic and turbulent times because they wished to experience that which is now unfolding upon the Earth. They saw in the changes that were to come lessons which they could learn. They recognised that there was a great opportunity for soul evolution. Because this rebirth of the Earth is to involve a cataclysm, and because Atlantis is to rise again in that moment of rebirth, so many of the souls who are here in young bodies are citizens of Atlantis who have come to transmute the evil of over twenty thousand years ago.

Young people should therefore recognise that they live in this Age of their own choosing. They cannot say that it is not what they want, that it does not give them that which they desire from life, for it is they themselves who have chosen to be here: No one has forced this decision upon them. Indeed, they are privileged to be present on Earth at this time of great growth and evolution, for there are many souls still waiting on the higher planes of life for just such an opportunity.

You are still probably aware that the decision to incarnate is taken on levels above the physical long before the moment of conception. Consequently, all you young people who live in this turbulent Age, be aware that it has a lesson for you. There is a lesson in this chaos and disharmony which you have to learn. There are obstacles which you have to overcome.

Time Speeding Up

Because the vibratory rate of this planet is being raised, because the frequency of the Earth is being increased by the Lords of this Solar Body, so there is this apparent speeding up of time and of the rate at which you lead life. There is much disharmony and evil to be seen as all the erroneousness of Humanity comes to the surface. It is therefore a difficult time to learn the lessons of youth.

It is particularly difficult for one main reason. Society, as you know it, is declining. It is collapsing. As you look around you may witness in almost every aspect of life the final demise of Western civilisation, for Humanity, having pursued the path of intellect without the balance of spirituality, has created a wholly materialistic society in which the aims are self and self-aggrandisement. As a result of this, what you are witnessing in the youth of today is a generation of young people who for the first time in this Age have been given the freedom to be idle.

Avoiding the Work

In the centuries which have gone by it had been an essential part of life that young people worked from the moment they were capable of doing so, both to help feed the family and to ensure the survival of that family within society. However, with the onset of the industrial revolution and the subsequent great advances in Humanity´s technology there has been a rapid increase in personal freedom, the results being that the young people of today have the opportunity of avoiding the work which they should be doing. They have, therefore, lost the essential discipline of work.

Today young people go to school and then during their holidays have long periods of rest when, truly, it should be in those periods of rest that they really begin to work, that they should be taught to appreciate the true values of life, for such is the nature of the educational system at this time that they will not have been taught such values at school but only the lessons which will lead them to adopt the values of society as they exist today: those of materialism, of providing only for the self, of obtaining personal possessions and power for the self.

Lack of Motivation

Young people today are growing up with the freedom and with the time to pursue whatever they desire, but they have not been given the essential guidance to motivate themselves correctly. They are searching. They are looking for something to motivate their lives so that they may spend their hours of freedom profitable. You have only to look around your World today to see the many paths which young people have followed in their desperate search to discover a meaning to their lives.

They have adopted many beliefs, created many dogmas, formed many cults, and lived their lives in ways which seem extraordinary to the older generation who did not have the same amount of freedom when they were young. The older generation cannot understand why young people need to pursue such aims, but they are not aware of the lack of motivation within the young people of today.

Part Two Follows....

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR SOUL -- PART ONE

Always remember that you are a soul, and your soul has taken on a physical body. The real you is not the body as so many believe.

The Essence of Life

The soul is the very essence of life as it first sprang from Creator. It is an indestructible living entity of Light energy that may have a physical body, etheric body or astral body, or it may exist in free spirit only. Our soul, manifested by God through His co-creating powers with Creator, are expressions of love and Light of God and contain in microcosm every essence of God. In any of its forms the soul acts with free will independence at the same time it exists inseparably with God and Creator and all other souls.

The soul is the power behind everything that exists on Earth. It is the life force of all its progeny that it created for ever-greater experiencing. At every level of evolvement, from the most minute subdivision of a root soul all the way to the angelic realms, each soul is an independent being with intelligence, characteristics, choices, goals and all the other elements that make each person a unique being.

The Cumulative Soul

Each individual lifetime of a soul is its PERSONAGE. The sum of a soul´s personages is its CUMULATIVE SOUL, and all experiencing of all the personages is available to each. Thus, as each personage melds into the cumulative soul, it is increased in wisdom and soul evolution, yet it remains its inviolate independent self.

The consciousness of the soul has the capability to reach all knowingness that exists throughout creation. The universal mind, that entire spectrum of human and godly powers and all experiencing throughout existence -- all of this is within the soul. When we tap into this knowingness we are allowing the soul to see itself and report what it sees to the brain, which is a personal computer for processing data for the mind to assimilate and contemplate. The key to understanding this is to separate your consciousness and allow the thinking process to quiet itself. Then the pictures will come, followed by awareness of what is going on in your mind, which is bringing you the message of your soul.

The Body is the Vehicle

Your body is only a very fleeting vehicle for use by the soul, which is far stronger and more tenacious in its survival mode than any third density body. And, the body does not hold the soul, THE SOUL HOLDS THE BODY FOR ITS USE. When the soul is released from the physical body, its etheric body is released in perfection at the same instant, and in that body, the soul makes its lightning-fast journey from Earth to Nirvana.

In other life-times, souls now living on the planet had a hand in its formation during its creation. This happened by thought forms, and as previously explained, everything that is created is preceded by the thought of it. Only by the imagery in the thought can the form of that image be created in substance, and the power to generate and access the thought forms rests in the soul.

Captured By Negativity

Although the soul is indestructible, its light energy can be captured by negativity and trapped within density so powerful that the soul is consigned to this realm´s basest energy layer. At physical death the energy essence of souls departing from Earth are taken by most ancient universal laws to their next placement for required healing and learning.

The people who lived in the basest energies during their Earth lifetimes are drawn by natural law to the layer of densest energy in this multilayered realm. They are people obsessed with controling others´ lives or inflicting tyrannical brutality, or who are so steeped in anger, greed, deceit or other intense negativity feelings and actions born of that negativity. Those souls can neither fool anyone and thus be released or escape from that densest energy placement. Not only is it out of their mental functioning control, it is a province of their energy registration. By means of their free will decisions, those souls have CHOSEN their consistent plunging into the basest density in which they become captive.

Repercussions

Does this now mean that these souls can´t reincarnate or get out of that placement?? They can leave ONLY if they move toward the Light that is continuously beamed to them from highest Light sources. If they do respond to the love within that Light, they will be entirely different souls as they rise to successively higher layers of the realm.

But even if that happens, it is not the full story. Their very descent to the basest energy placement has inestimable negative repercussions. The energy set in motion by their Earth lifetimes remains when their physical bodies leave. The INFLUENCE left by their energy is not diminished. The ripple effect of the soul devastation wrought by just one such individual can be so injurious to civilization that there is no way to assess it separately from the base energies that form from it. So, while the life energy of that soul is held captive, the energy of the negative effects of its lifetime remains. The dark forces gather it unto themselves for rearmament, so to speak.

CORRECT EATING -- PART ONE

As with all the other organs of the body, the stomach is controlled ultimately by the mind.

Vehicle of the Spirit

One of the charateristics of the human physical body is that it needs to be sustained with matter in order to replace the parts and constituents of the body which change every twenty-four hours. Every day, therefore, you eat and drink to sustain your body. The physical body is the vehicle of the spirit. While it resides in matter the spirit dwells in the left ventricle of the heart; that is where the physical body houses the spirit whilst it is present on the Earth. It is important, therefore, that throughout its life the body is cared for and sustained according to its needs so that it in no way hinders the evolution and destiny of the spirit.

When you feel hungry and you want to eat it is the mind that will control where you eat, what you eat and how you eat. An unevolved person, one who has not established the control and discipline of the mind, will not control their stomach and their eating habits. When they feel that they want to eat, they eat. They do not particularly care when they eat, what they eat or how they eat. All they know is that they have the desire to eat and that this desire must be satisfied.

An evolved person, one who uses their mind to control their bodily functions, who is aware of their body and of what is good or bad for it, of what they should or should not eat, of when they should or should not eat, of how they should or should not eat, will exercise discipline in this respect in order to eat correctly.

All Matter Vibrates

You will recognize, therefore, that the way in which a person eats is really a matter of soul evolution, of soul wisdom. A soul that has only recently begun to incarnate on the Earth from the planet below yours in evolution will eat very crudely, whereas a great soul, a highly evolved Master, will eat very finely. You may think that all human bodies are similar, but they are not. They are all made of physical matter, but within the frequency range of matter there are many rates of vibration. All matter vibrates, and it would be true to say that the body of an unevolved soul vibrates at a lower rate than that of an evolved soul. The higher the rate of vibration the more a person can control their body and use the Natural Laws of the Universe to lead their life on Earth. You have the example of the Nazarene who, knowing the Law of Levitation, could walk upon the water.

Self-gratification

What I am to say about correct eating will obviously not have a universal appeal and, therefore, according to your consciousnesses, you will either accept or reject it. As the basic reason for eating is to keep the physical body in a perfect condition so that it may be of service to the spirit, any form of eating which does not contribute to this objective is incorrect.

If you overeat, if you eat foods which are detrimental to your bodies, or even destroy parts of your bodies, that is very foolish. Many of you know that some of the foods, which you eat are harmful to your bodies, yet you still continue to eat them because your jaded tastes demand that you do so. It is purely self-gratification: you like the taste, or you like the quantity, and so you eat to please that lower self. Nevertheless, you should eat only to sustain your physical bodies in a perfect condition.

Develop Your Consciousness

The vibration of your physical body is determined by your point of evolution. As you develop your conciousness within, so the vibration of your body will change. Remember that if you are to increase your vibratory rate, if you are to refine your physical instrument, you must first refine the matter that goes into your body. There are only three substances which your body takes in: air, fluids and food. Although all three are important from the point of view of the correct funtioning of your body, food is particularly important because the higher the vibration of the food you eat the greater its spiritual quality and its quality in matter and the more it will help you to increase the vibratory rate of your own body.

Change Your Eating Habits

Those of you who seek to walk the path, who seek to advance spiritually and to be of service to Humanity, to exemplify the Christ, must be aware of the discipline necessary in this respect. If you cannot master your stomachs then you cannot master your personalities, your lower selves. You must begin with the physical aspects of your body before you can begin to control the reflection of your soul consciousness, your personality. The first rung on the ladder is to become the master of your physical body and of what you eat. In the Age in which you live, where everything is mass-produced, where industry is geared to produce not what Humanity should eat but what industry decides is profitable, it is difficult to change your eating habits, but that is what you must do.

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.
