"But you know, Michael," the
Colonel said after a thoughtful pause,
"this brings me back again to the initial business about
distinguishing or differentiating the 'positive' and 'negative'—the
way in which the higher densities and worlds are supposed to factor
out, you know?"
"Such as?"
"Well, the whole categorical thing about 'service-to-self,
'service-to-others' to begin with. Yes, I know we seem to be able
to distinguish them best according to their extreme cases; but
beyond that, maybe more as a functional matter than a philosophical
matter, they seem to lend themselves to just those kinds of
abstractions and categorical requirements that are so convincingly
descriptive of the negative hypothesis altogether!"
"In what way?"
"In every way! When you think about the concrete implications, a
pigeonhole such as 'service-to-others' just seems to promote the
kind of vague abstraction that fosters an airy-fairy 'do-gooder"
mentality. It's a behavioral straitjacket, like anything else. Why
is the 'do-gooder' mentality innately superior? Judging from all the
people I know who've been inspired by that sort of theoretical
guideline, it just generates a species of compulsive doing, you
know, an obsession or overriding drive toward 'works' goaded by
nebulous ideals or cloying values like 'the betterment of Man'.
Worst of all, it seems the quintessential promotion of dead-abstract
mentality since those who subscribe to it do so in the psychological
spirit of a sort of tradeoff, they obviously don't find anything
intrinsically meritorious or valuable in the things they do, since
it all takes the—at least implicit— form of a highly-visible
'sacrifice', a spiritual contract or blatant 'deal-with-god'; it
amounts ultimately to an idea similar to the accumulation of
'lists', inventories of deeds done and works performed which when
piled up to heaven are supposed to comprise the soul's guarantee of
a personal 'stairway'.
"There's always a self-righteous and really fatuous air of 'reward'
clinging to such a person's anions and orientation; he seems to be
doing it almost always in implicit anticipation of acknowledgment,
for the sake of validation—and the overweening pride involved here
is that he not only seems to expect acknowledgment or validation
from his peers, but ultimately the meritorious sanction and
guarantee of God. That's why when I hear, as I often do now in the
'New Age' framework, that the criterion for graduating to the
higher-dimensional degrees of Soul development belonging to the '4th
density' has to do with the percentage-requirements hovering around
the category of 'service-to-others', I can't help but feel it's the
same old religious song-and-dance that used to pull people into line
around the cliché of 'good-deeds', only tricked out with
even-more-tantalizing door-prizes and meretricious jackpots of
'psychic powers', unlimited 'seership', 'Divinely-sanctioned'
authority..."
"As a sage observational description of the working world, you
couldn't be more on target," MT laughed. "As a practical matter,
though, any form of spiritual criterion, standard or guideline is
always subject to interpretation according to the conventional keys.
Even though a viable spiritual principle is meant to illuminate
those chronic, psychic equations so that they may be recognized for
what they are, and replaced with an informed function more
compatible with real Conscious value, any such principle by itself
is always acutely-vulnerable to easy appropriation through the
conditioned
response-pattern so as to convert it fortissimo to the familiarly
comfortable coinage of ego-validation.
"Though any true spiritual guideline is meant to coach the psyche
away from its symbolic substitutions and empty ideals, it is at the
same time ambiguously subject to just such interpretive shears. In
practice, it always seems as if the most promising philosophical
premise is snipped and trimmed to the delimiting dimensions and
paltry proportions of the ego-mind's readymade measures, rather than
furnishing the proper measure against which the mind may accurately
assess its real room for growth.
"So on the basis of the abstract 'criterion' of
service-to-others,
it's always possible to grow the 'ego of helpfulness'. Very many
people have the ego of helpfulness—and of course to 'external
inspection', to the socially evaluative eye, the effects which
proceed from such orientation seem enough; the results often seem
eminent justification of the attitude. What's never perceived with
the checklist of the standard psychological pattern, is the
tremendous internal imbalance, the swollen disproportion of psychic
parts which has taken place at behest of the common
ego-interpretation. As you've correctly observed, all that's really
taken place in the true or 'internal', subtle framework of the being
is a massive, almost cripplingly dysfunctional distortion in the
ratios-of-balance characterizing the current alignments of the
centers; and that distortion, classically, is permitted and
encouraged by the primacy of categorial abstraction characterizing
the criteria which have been allowed to dominate and in fact to
describe, the ego-function...
"So although what the personality is 'doing' may seem to others quite
meritorious, it in fact establishes no net improvement. The
personality has nor purchased its way to a higher-density position
on the basis of what it has 'done', or the 'positive' effects which
may have emanated from its anions. This, incidentally, takes care of
the classic question re the manifest 'ambiguity' of results, i.e. how
often 'positive' effects seem to come from deliberately negative
actions, and vice versa—there is no credit extended, or spiritual
consideration registered, for 'actions' in themselves whether
technically 'positive' or 'negative', whether bearing sweet or
bitter fruit etc."
"Then you mean... even Mother Teresa..."
"That's not the criterion. It just isn't. After all, how do you
'weigh' the effect? Certainly her care and kindness promote a kind
of good will, a 'spiritual' example - and at the same time encourage a
grossly unbalanced, doctrinaire attitude toward sexuality,
population regulation, the 'expectations' of 'Divine being' while
inferentially promoting a personality cultism of grotesque egoity—after all, since there are manifestly few 'MTs' of her
particular type and calling, what overweening pride authorizes such
a soul to state that all those 'born unwanted into the world' should
just be 'brought to her'...! Oh hell yes..."
"I see what you mean. But then,
what happened to our
'service-to-others' category anyway?"
"It's still there, and it's still important; but as usual the
importance that really attaches to it is chronically misperceived
at the sluggish, 3rd-density level. In keeping with the predictable
modus operandi of this level, 'service-to-others' is taken to be
some key of recitation given to the ego whereby it may 'correctly'
display the 'answer' that will act to promote it; it's grasped as
the chief clue as to how the ego may best 'show off,' how it may draw
attention to itself and so be perceived in the 'winning' light—just
like conventional school, you know, always looking for the
catechistic recital that will objectively 'prove' the ego's worth as
an exterior display of Rewardable Effort.
"The ego's always looking for the thing it can do in order to
achieve some imaginary minimal percentage in the 'required'
expenditure of energy. It may not possess subtle insight; it may
not have ever generated an independent ambition or innate-born
curiosity with respect to its own being sufficient to have achieved
any of the philosophical acumen characteristic of those 'different'
ones, the
baffling oddities in our human-history; it may not bear much more
than a perplexed relation to those occasional teachings of
occasional, 'elevated' personalities or extraordinary sources that
come along to furnish the real indicators and directional arrows
toward Freedom, toward Conscious resolution with Whole-being
value—but, by god, ego certainly knows what it can do, ego certainly
understands where it does habitually thrive and therefore where it
may best stand in the 'spiritual' spotlight to Shine according to
its comprehension: ego always 'accepts' Divine tutelage best where
that counsel may seem to intersect the interpretive juncture ceding
an 'equivalency' in terms of busy-work—you know, like the high
school teacher occasionally taking pity on the slow student who'd
never be able to pass according to the criterion of competency in
grammar and so allowing him arbitrary makeup based on sheer numbers
of book reports submitted by the end of the quarter... ego's always
expecting there to be some such 'teacher' hanging out at the
spiritual entrance gate who'll surely identify and take into
consideration where ego's special competency lies (i.e., in
object-verification, exterior validation of correspondent
'attributes' etc.), and mercifully revise the requirements for
matriculation according to such accessible merits.
"But there is no such teacher hanging out at the spiritual
entrance-gates—that's ego's perennial fantasy, that's ego's insistent
conceit and balming self-assurance maintained in the face of every
kind of contrary counsel: i.e. there's a merciful Lord who'll 'let
me in' if I've done good - and, of course, believed in his
specially-dispensating Reality! Therefore the criterion of
'service-to-others' is never taken for what it really is; rather,
it's turned around so as to make a salvatory virtue out of precisely
what's perennially holding the ego back from any progress,
preventing any transformative insight that would serve to unlock
from the chronic level of mind-body integration committed to the
surface glamour of 3rd-density objective entrapment.''
"Well what is the real significance of the 'service to others'
category, then?"
"Simple. 'Service to others' as well as 'service to self' are
categories imparted for purposes of classification; they establish
the respective frameworks in which any sort of higher density
progress is going to take place, if it is to take place at all.
These categories just give one the criterion, the lines of
orientation tending to determine the preponderant ratios between
one's respective Advisers, while still functioning on the
3rd-density probationary level. The more the subject is inclined,
behaviorally, toward one axial category or another, the more
consistent the particular emphasis obtaining in the functional
ratios of 'positive' and 'negative' (higher-dimensional) help,
counsel and guidance.
"If the 3rd density personality may be cartooned as a vacillating
psyche with mixed motives and inclinations, we can visualize that
personality as a fellow with higher-dimensional 'angel' sitting on
one shoulder whispering in the ear, and higher-dimensional 'devil'
sitting on the other shoulder whispering in the opposite ear;
depending on whether the cartoon subject is inclining more to the
'positive' or 'negative' interpretation of reality, the 'service to
self or 'service to others' category, there will be more or less
call for one over the other, and consequently more or less of either
in evidence at any given time as 'guide' or subtle/invisible
guardian. At a certain fateful threshold in the operative proportion
or 'percentage' of orientation, of course, an invisible
boundary-line has been passed and the personality has effectually
'committed' to one type of alignment or the other with reference to
further progress and learning-modes of the 'higher', postgraduate
densities.
"The subject is thereafter 'typed', stamped according to his
aggregate tendency and 'processed' into further patterns of
alignment and integration according to the divergent requirements
of each Model, positive or negative. This fateful, threshold
crossing into a decisive higher-dimensional zone of potential
functioning either positive or negative, knocks one or the other
'adviser' right off the shoulder leaving only one as higher-density
counselor and ongoing 'guide' according to the Path inferentially
'chosen'. And all of this, in its formative stages especially, may
not even be particularly noticeable or consciously marked at all by
the subject in question!"
"Ah. I begin to see why it's a shame the ego fails to value those
classificatory headings for their own merit rather than the ego's
self-preserving interpretation."
"And why is that?"
"It seems obvious that they're given as a kind of grace, for the
ego's Soul sake rather than for its performance-standards. They're
categories that should be silently accepted and evaluated by the
ego, used as internal measuring-stick for the soul's own counsel
rather than loudly shined as exterior 'proof of validation. It seems
they're just meant to help the subject steer, to clearly decide
where it wants its further soul-development to take place, in what
arena. Otherwise, it could easily sense the
onset of a higher form
of integration and functioning, but not be at all dear as to what
framework it was being integrated into—or that there was a clear
distinction, that there was a choice to be made at that cross-roads
juncture rather than just a technical alignment, and that as far as
the soul and its own feeling-nature were concerned there was a great
deal of difference between the two poles of higher-dimensional
development positive-or-negative—the difference between-"
"Heaven
and hell?"
"Yes. Heaven and hell.
"Say, wait a minute, Michael. If 'service to self /'service to
others' is just the classificatory guide to threading the soul into
alignment with one side of the vertical (transdimensional) axis or
the other, then what is the actual criterion for moving into the
higher density framework in the first place, either positive or
negative?"
"It all comes down to this—you aren't measured according to your
works, but weighed on the basis of your balance."
"Balance."
"Balance. 'Balance' signifies the
degree of real conscious
equipoise through which you're practically functioning. That
equipoise furnishes the basis of any form of true conscious insight
that may be obtained, whether in the positive or negative sense."
"That's strange... you never think of the 'negative' as having any
relation to 'balance' at all—you always think of it as being
constitutionally imbalanced..."
"The 'positive' and the 'negative' must be equally balanced around
their own, respective poles. They may seem imbalanced with respect
to one another, but within their own frameworks they must achieve
and maintain a kind of functional balance. That which imbalances,
to either side of the ledger, is gross attachment, one-to-one
ego/identification with a particular object or objective. If 'serene
dispassion' characterizes that positive type of balance to be
achieved as antidote to such disturbing potential, we may say that
cold objectivity characterizes the negative style of balance.
"There are obviously still objects and objectives in either case;
but both, respective forms of orientation serve to prevent or
forestall the collapse of integral harmony (required to maintain
higher-density alignment positive-or-negative) through the allure of
the Temptress 'Lust-of-Result'. That's how both positive and
negative higher-
density frameworks circumvent the enervating forms
of rage, or distracting subplots of 'personal revenge' that
characterize 3rd density-style
attachment to results, outcomes and desired effects."
"So... what was that again?... 'You aren't measured according to your
works, but weighed on the basis of your balance'..."
"Motto of Maat, the Egyptian MT (sporting dual
As in the middle,
eh?)"
"Ah yes—the Vulture-goddess of Justice, I believe, who weighed
hearts in the Hall of the Dead with...a feather."
"She might be heard saying, more often than not,"
AAA smiled, "you
have the ego of helpfulness—but not the Soul of Listening. You're
always running off to 'do the good deed' so as to score Brownie
points—but you never stop to Listen to what's really been Said."
"You know, Michael," the Colonel said, "I've just had a thought
here. As I understand it, those who 'graduate' to the higher
densities of soul-development in the service-to others framework,
while technically free of the need to return to the schoolhouse of
masked, 3rd-density level, nonetheless often do as a function of the
service-to-others orientation..."
"Yes, that's right. The higher-density personality, functioning
within the multidimensional context corresponding to his actual
level, may form a kind of compact with others of that and higher
levels to return once or occasionally to a 3rd-stage state so as to
supplement the indirect education provided by camouflage mechanisms
of that framework, with the incomparable factor of face-to-face
tutelage by an incarnate agency.
"This form of 'educational' help is always considered the most
potent, universally effective and valuable; it's cherished above all
others in the higher densities, even above the educational forms of
'channeling' or temporary, vehicular intersection in adaptive
'travel' from homebase to the stepped-down density of 'Earth'. Of
course, since it's so cherished in the higher densities it tends to
be the least appreciated and, indeed, often the most despised form
of Instruction on 'Earth'."
"Why's that?"
"Contempt for commonality,
Colonel. The very factor of
commonality
that makes such teaching so unique and valuable, i.e. sharing the
same plane and framework of practical focus as the 'student' souls,
is at the same time the veil of normalcy which—in so masked a
dimension—often serves to thoroughly obscure the merit of the
Incarnate teacher with those objective standards and criteria of appearance that comprise the mindless
sine qua non of physical
'englamorment'."
"You mean, nobody sees anything extraordinary in the flesh-born
being, there's nothing to particularly distinguish him—or her— no
glowing auras or obvious halos, no rays of otherworldly energy
emanating from their fingertips..."
"Well, there may be, there could be any of those things but the
point is, the student-souls of this density would never know it
because they hadn't developed the faculties themselves whereby to
see such things; of course they suppose themselves automatically
deserving of any such disclosure gratis, either as if it's
constitutionally owed them or as though an obligation of 'God as
God' is to offer proofs of divinity up front when claiming the
privilege of 'special' appearance.
"Even if there are one or two who typically 'have' such powers,
virtually by karmic accident, the ego belonging to such beings never
allows proper perception or interpretation in any case, and indeed—in practice—most often becomes affronted and wildly agitated in the
presence of any such Integrity beyond its own so that it actually
manages to manufacture a symbol-system of interposing properties
grossly the projection of the ego-subject's own quality, and serving
to deflect or obscure Reception to what's really There.
"In fact, that very difficulty involved in proper apprehension and
receptivity becomes part of the learning-framework of this density.
It comes to serve as the principal lesson as to what the 3rd density
state of consciousness is all about, because involved in that one
situation may be found all the puzzles, koans and mind-locks
revolving around object-valuation, the antipathy between thinking
and feeling, knowledge and understanding and the central paradox
that haunts all considerations of time and eternity, 'sacred' and
'profane', the 'ordinary' and 'extraordinary' etc. The living Teacher
of a truly higher-dimensional correspondence manages automatically
to embody, and draw forward, the interior crisis of all 'corporeal'
conditions, succeeds in aggravating their implicit presence to the
degree of the unavoidable just by the natural expression of that
Value proper to his Being. In his awakened state he's an affront to
sleep.
"But even the sleep-state dreams; and it dreams on the basis of the
available material, the prevailing real conditions of its nocturnal
environment. Thus the sleep-state dreams the being of the Awakened
one who's really present, there in the room, but through the
interpretive medium of the dream-mind or ego-psyche the slumbering
subject makes up models and idols of rationalization to account for
the peculiar characteristics otherwise known—in the intuitive
substrate of the dreaming being—to belong to a Consciousness
completely awake. The process of dreaming tends to covet its state;
and, as inbuilt action of its own device, perceives the things
reflected into it in such a way as to preserve the artifice of its
narrow self-adjustment, interpreting every impression in service to
prolonging the dream."
"Isn't it true though," the
Colonel said, "at least the way I
understand it, that in 'compensation' for the opaque resistance
typically accorded the higher 'spiritual tutors' who come to this
plane, there is the massed support of all the hierarchy functioning
through the in feeding octave of densities with whom the incarnating
'helper' had—as you said—first of all arranged a compact..."
"In principle, you can certainly say that the incarnating teacher on
the 'positive' spiritual side has the cooperation of the Whole
behind him, in terms of the beneficent intelligences working on his
behalf 'behind the scenes' from the vantage of the deeper leverages
of psychic and creative influence (through which every attempt is
made to optimize the effectiveness of those patterns serving to
coordinate the Earth-plane experiences forming 'round the Presence
of the teacher). It's hard to look at this as any sort of
compensation for the resistance of Earth-plane intelligence, though,
since that resistance is—at its core—both a function and product of
will, of deep internal preference or psychic selection rather than
the expression of a strictly mechanical flaw that can be offset by
mechanical means.
"And while it's true that such a psychic orientation is conditioned (given optimum opportunity for framing its volitional
prerogative through technical filters and cognitive screens which
maximize the potential for distortive determinations in the first
place), once set it has a strictly conscious inertia or momentum of
its own; once certain, willed predispositions arise from a
maximally-encouraging soil, they exhibit a heartiness that partakes
of their specific character and so tends to prevail over the sum of
conditioning factors no matter how they may change. Consciousness
comes to rely on such willed predispositions or prejudicial
habit-patterns of the 'screened' dimension as a refuge of
familiarity, a stable reference of Identity precisely in the midst
of what could otherwise be bewilderingly changing conditions."
"So the fact that the given 'spiritual teacher' of the positive type
has more or less the whole of the positive hierarchy behind him, in
the technical sense of magically intensifying the coordinate
alignments of those patterns through which he functions, is
nonetheless not the equivalent of a real compensation for the
typical inertia and resistance accorded that teaching-presence
through the Volitional' orientation indicative of the opaque
Earth-medium itself."
"I think it's fair to say that. The
incarnate teacher has only one
fundamental purpose, and that is to transform consciousness, to
awaken consciousness. No trick in the book, so to speak, that can be
brought to bear towards technical furtherance of that aim as a
teaching device or demonstration, can ever be considered the
equivalent of affecting any such change. The free-will variable at
the heart of this consciousness-transformation reserves the
inalienable right of its bullheaded blindness to call a Heart a
Club, and to insist that Everest is an anthill if you but back far
enough away from it. In other words, magnitude of sheer magical
effect within the conventionally 'permissible' context of the blindered dimension in question, is no guarantor of a capitulation
or ceding from the indigenous psychic stance; since the free-will
variable—functioning from the premise of its locally-distortive
framework—can and docs exercise the volitional 'right' to dismiss
the evidence of a subtle syllogism as well as the public
disappearance of Mount Rushmore, that irreducible prerogative is the
absolute leveler. There's no degrees of relative efficacy obtaining
(as in some mechanical or algebraic formula) between the intensity
of 'persuasion' exerted by the Non-ordinary patterning of
circumstances through the Teaching-presence, and the independent
determinant of will—no matter how conditioned by distortion—of the
ego-subject toward whom the teaching demonstration is directed.
There's just no such equation at all; and yet they do bear a
relation to one another.
The teaching demonstration, and
the Presence of the teacher
altogether, is given on behalf of the free-will variable. So they
bear an indeterminate relation to one another. In other words, it's
a relation which, while its effects and interactions can be
estimated by a process similar to statistical averaging, can't be
determined beforehand in any absolute way. This is why the true
spiritual teacher on the positive side of the density-divide has
much the more difficult task, in this sense, than his negative
counterpart; for the positively-aligned teacher isn't just
attempting to influence or induce a behavioral modification; he's
trying to effect the infinitely more subtle, elusive and difficult
work of awakening consciousness—i.e. persuading its volitional fulcrum
on the basis of its own innate merit beyond all the conditioning
that would counsel otherwise, and keep its determinations
statistically 'locked-in'.
The negative 'teacher', on the other hand, while certainly
attempting to affect a polarization of consciousness in alignment
with the negative higher-density orientation, is precisely most
effective in his work by the indirect or surreptitious method of
behavioral modification, i.e. causing that polarization-preference
of probationary consciousness to take place imperceptibly as silent
effect of the sum direction emerging from its cumulative behaviors.
Thus the negative 'teacher' slyly induces reactive behaviors,
intensifying the most negative lines of tendency through aggravating
indigenous fears
and magnifying them into preemptive determinants; the
subject-candidate to negative polarization finds himself well on
the way to total negative-interpretation of existence (through the
tacit, collective thrust of implemented behaviors) before
consciousness need pivot on its volitional fulcrum and assume such
'philosophy' as an overriding Intent, a direct desideration of its
own.
"In this sense, the negative 'graduate' just ratifies what has been
implicitly accepted already, he puts his 'conscious' stamp on a
'fait accompli' that has effectively characterized his orientation
for some time.
"You can see it, for example, when
the higher-density negative
'alien' presences encourage the paranoid and bellicose tendency of
the military mentality to the degree that it's pressured to enact
all its logical conclusions, driven to force-eject the deepest
implications of its long-time premises into a kind of 'purity' of
action unmixed by benign considerations. At the point where such
magnification-of-tendency takes place most comprehensively and with
greatest internal consistency, the consciousness in question has
all-but-created an airtight, self-fulfilling prophecy (insofar as
the deepening uniformity and integrity of its actions has aligned a
responsive model of conformably mirroring reality confirming its
assessment to the degree of Conscious ratification, full-fledged
philosophical endorsement of the formally Negative premise as
most-accurate standard of the Way Things Are)."
"This brings me to the premise of my original thought," the
Colonel
interjected. "I was asking about those higher-density beings within
the service-to-others framework, who need not return to the lower
probationary densities but who sometimes do... and I was speculating
about that possibility as an understandable function of the
service-to-others framework—you know, that kind of 'backward' birth
is done with maximal cooperation of the multidimensional selves and
beings of the 'higher' levels who remain at their stations in order
to organize and influence the lower-dimensional patterns toward
which the teacher-soul is temporarily moving; all the interacting
densities and levels exhibit Beings who act in concert in order to
accomplish the kinds of transformation that redound to the service
and benefit of the whole."
"Yes"
"Well, it occurred to me that the higher-density negative beings
must occasionally take 'backward' or lower incarnations as well, you
know, apparently retrogressive 'births' in the earlier densities
that are technically beneath their present level of attainment."
"Yes..."
"I think some such thing must be what's implied in the idea of
the
'Anti-Christ'; a being of some optimum 'evil' that must correspond
to the higher negative densities yet who takes birth in the physical
dimension and appears as a man. Now, it's relatively easy to
conceive, in the service-to-others framework, what might stand to be
accomplished by some such 'retrogressive' incarnation; that kind of
thing seems almost intrinsically a sacrifice, since a higher-density
being enjoying privileged levels of Light and Consciousness etc.
deliberately takes it upon himself to temporarily forfeit all such
supernal pleasures, powers and faculties for what, by all accounts,
is a contrastively restrictive and tortuous form of compressed
corporeal existence. On top of that, from what I gather, such a
formidable 'setback' is liable to be more than just temporary, since
any such incarnating consciousness even proceeding from a
point-of-origin in the higher densities must take on the indigenous
'veil of forget fullness' when assuming the physical integument of
the lower worlds. And although the deeper spark of awareness remains
as a latent impression of the soul-being linking it with the higher
worlds from which it voluntarily came, it's formally obscured by the
scrambled patterns of biogenetic and transdimensional coordinates
comprising the nests of 'centers' compounding the molecular 'locks'
of the physical, fetal structure.
"It's been said that even if the abstract prefiguration of the
general, patterning complex of 'dream-symbol' events for the
embodied Teacher is optimized, furnished a favored edge beforehand
by the 'planning committees' of the higher densities with Whom the
Teacher has arranged his Compact, there's still no guarantee
accompanying those patterns; for when the abstract elements of
those optimized patterns begin to take form in the actual unfolding
of the events they intend to condition, they do so on the basis of
innumerable overlapping and interacting probability-variables only
some of which could have originally been taken into account by the
'planning boards' of the higher densities, some of which indeed
upsurge on the basis of minute multiplications making cumulative,
unanticipated impact and some simply generated in the first place by
powers, processes and influences in service to factors other than
those strictly governed by the positive planning boards—i.e. those
of purely negative agency.
"So when it comes right down to it, there's always a very deep
factor of creative indeterminacy residing at the heart of even the
most carefully tailored patterns. And that means there's always a
potential for the 'best laid plans' to go awry. I've heard in fact
that quite often there are higher-density incarnations that take
place in this world, which ultimately/at/ to take advantage of the
timed opportunities and encoded 'swings of the gate' when they come
around as supernally-planned, so that—as you would say—the
irreducible prerogative of the 'unpredictable free-will variable' in
conjunction with assorted, adversarial influences has served in such
case to produce a real setback in consciousness, a real collapse to
an identity-equation with an altogether lower order of existence.
And in this sense, it seems that the higher-density being who takes
embodiment here with the intent to wake up in this context for
whatever reason, is genuinely jeopardizing all the 'ground' that
he's gained through higher-density advancement on the 'roll of the
die', so to speak; he's taking a real gamble, with very high stakes,
and has something quite definite and precious to lose.
"And even if you take into consideration that 'all the King's horses
and all the King's men' of the higher densities are going to try
very bard to put this Humpty-Dumpty back together, retread an
optimum patterning potential (given the newly issued karmic currents
being generated by the 'fallen soul' in its recidivist opacity), the
original fateful rule of the 'free-will variable' prevails in all
cases; when all is said and done, what's lost is lost and any
'recovery' depends on precisely the one factor that can never be
determined with certainty, and therefore never 'coded' into the
patterns beforehand (though it's function can be taken into
consideration by the patterns, no?). So the 'gamble' of the
incarnating teacher is a real risk, and much more can be lost in
terms of the whole than is accounted for by merely personal
measurement. Theoretically, a Buddha of the higher densities can be
lost, a Christ or Krishna, a Lao-Tsu can take an unceremonious
nose-dive into the tarpit with the best of intentions, and then
there's no way to know when that irreplaceably precious Consciousness
can be recovered again!"
"Well, even incarnations taking their points-of-departure from
higher 5th and 6th density levels are given variable priorities—even
in the higher positive framework some are considered more essential,
or critically 'central', than others and are accorded
correspondingly greater values of supervisorial Attention; but of
course, you are right, Colonel. Even those with the highest
'priority' are taking the same risks, and ultimately depend upon
precisely the most unpredictable of variables.
"Then I begin to see what your question is,"
MT laughed. "If
higher-density positive beings are taking such an all-or-nothing
gamble by incarnating, they're at least doing so for understandable
stakes, as a gesture obviously compatible with the
seemingly-sacrificial character of the process—but whatever could
motivate a higher-density negative being to take such an
indeterminately risky leap into the treacherous backwaters of 'lower
manifestation'? Surely the negatively-polarized soul has no affinity
whatsoever with anything so
formally 'sacrificial'—perhaps the negative-style of consciousness
could presume to profit from a pseudo-incarnation, as with the hokey
'walk-in' phenomenon where no real consciousness is lost at all, no
Veil of the lower densities is assumed but the 'inhabiting'
consciousness of the required body is simply displaced, by
persuasive or—if possible—forcible expropriation. But what could
possibly be the percentage for the negative being in actually
submitting to the full-scale, uncompromised process of amnesic
incarnation necessarily engaged by one-and-all when coming through
the portals of physical-womb birth?"
"Yes; that is the question. It apparently happens; but why? What
does the negative-polarized soul have to gain that is so important
and otherwise unobtainable that it would take the greatest of all
risks? It seems that the negative-being is above all canny, it seems
he'd play the safest odds, and never take a bet that wasn't totally
stacked in his favor."
"And so it is. You're right,
Colonel. The negative being won't do
anything in that sense that isn't guaranteed beforehand, and that
certainly includes the 'riskiest' of all ventures: that of 'taking
birth'. Again, he will do it, very rarely—but at climactic moments
of optimum potential polarization of consciousness positive or
negative as we have now with our world-situation, there is more
incentive for direct wholesale Gain than at any other time, so that
the 'risk' factor is deemed acceptable by virtue of extraordinary
circumstance; at the same time, the negative being hedges the bet by
using certain potential that's available to him as service-to-self
polarization, which is not comparably available to the
positively-polarized being."
"What's that?"
"Well, whereas the positive higher-density being has to 'wake up' to
his actual level of realization in the physical framework on his
'own' merits, unaided and strictly according to his latent intuitive
capacity to seize upon the timed, coded potential 'built-in' to his
incarnation, the negative higher density being—playing by a
different rule-book, with different tactical objectives—may stack
the deck in his favor beforehand through his multidimensional,
planning-level consciousness, by placing 'plants' or confederates in
strategic physical-plane positions. These confederates may
themselves have such deliberate 'facilitators' implanted on their
behalf to awaken them to their roles at the proper time, or they may
have been originally installed through circumventing the
straightforward 'amnesiac' route of literal physical birth by
appropriating bodies as "walk-ins', adapting a cover identity molded
into a similitude of Earth-physiognomy from which frequent
interdimensional 'refreshment breaks' could be taken unobtrusively
etc. In any case, their calculatedly-positioned presence would ensure
that the rearing and development of the incarnated 'antichrist'
would be silently supervised, at a discreet distance perhaps but
nonetheless with continuous surveillance until such prearranged or
optimally-propitious time as was considered ripe to intercede and
directly Wake him to his predestined role, revive the memory and
consciousness of just who and what he is and what his intended
purpose in that incarnation must necessarily be."
"You mean, pretty much just as it was portrayed in
the Omen series,
with the sinister governess 'overseeing' Damien's development, and
the military figure at the academy who's planted there to help him
along in his incipient self-awareness."
"Exactly. It works very much like that, in fact."
"But wait; if the facilitators of this 'antichrist' personality
don't necessarily have to literally take birth in order to be
functionally present for the occasion, why isn't that equally true
of the 'antichrist'-being himself? Why does he have to suffer even
the minimum danger involved in the amnesic lapse by which he
physically comes to birth? What's the real advantage of such a
self-blinding womb birth...? And furthermore, since these are all
self-serving, negative entities we're talking about here, what's to
prevent the very 'facilitators' who have to know about the actual
presence and whereabouts of this infant antichrist, from taking
advantage of his momentary incarnate vulnerability before he 'grows'
into his self-recognized power again— what prevents them from
slaying him or soul-imprisoning him in his rendered infant form so
as to advance themselves up to the higher-dimensional position he's
seemingly vacated temporarily?"
"First of all, a higher-dimensional portion of this
personality-presence doesn't incarnate—the individualized version of
what is Oversold consciousness on the 'positive' side, doesn't
embody in the lower dimensions with the soul-projection but rather
supervises from Above by continuously adjusting 'karmic' currents
and thought-patterns etc. That negative, individualized
multidimensional Persona 'stands guard' over its
projected-incarnating aspect, and has the power hierarchically to
undo any of those lesser servitors appointed to take care of the
Incarnation. At the same time, those minions and servitors
participate in the process and cooperate not merely from fear of Luciferian reprisal toward apostasy or failure, but out of
anticipation for reciprocal gains in terms of advancing their power,
status and overall position once the antichrist-character succeeds
in his massive negative harvest. They expect to profit by the
superior power this incarnate antichrist is ultimately able to bring
to bear on the whole business of 'turning the planet
negative'—capturing it and as much of its soul-field as possible, as
a negative resource to add as a plum to the Empire.
"As for the advantage to the 'antichrist' character himself, of
suffering the temporary lapse involved in literal birth or
incarnation regardless how much his oversoul-surrogate has hedged
the bet and sewed it 'round with demon guardians. Don't forget, this
incarnation, this 'slipping-in' through the dark portal of birth
takes place
amidst a certain proportion of positively-integrated Earth-souls, or
amongst those of at least potentially positive service; and amongst
these there are certain having 'powers' of their own, forms of
far-seeing psychism or even higher types of spirit-intuition which
might be capable of detecting the proximal presence of intentional
malevolence with the trigger-response of an electric eye. It therefore
serves this antichrist best if, until he's brought to the
point-of-no-return in fully recovering knowledge of his Identity and
undercover 'mission', he himself is 'innocently' unaware of that
identity so that he may go through childhood, puberty and carry
adulthood without 'setting off psychic alarms', as it were. You
see?"
"Yes, it makes sense. If he isn't aware of his own nature and
mission, he won't be prematurely creating the thought-forms and
'signs' that alert possible, propinquitous sensitives to his
presence. His 'supervising' servitors on the other hand, should
already have sufficient psychic capacity and higher-dimensional,
magical powers themselves to shield both their own presence and
activity and that of their unknowing, unholy 'charge'."
"Right. So while the ludicrous 'Jeanie Dixons' and 'Ruth
Montgomerys' are prattling inanely about the 'birth of the
antichrist' here, and his 'activity', there, the real antichrist
slips right in, unheralded and unnoticed like an anonymous lamb,
right into the midst of the flock just ripe for shearing precisely
because it's in the meantime mesmerized by sideshow distractions
such as the know-nothing hit-and-miss 'Dixons' of the world."
"That's right, we invented you, Quaid; the perfect mole. It was the
only way to fool the psychics."
