Here we are … well, here I am, really … trying to figure things out and El Morya, on An Hour with an Angel, just handed me a major mystery.
Based on the way he was talking, I suggested to him that it sounded as if love created, sustained, and transformed everything. So not “God,” not the Mother, but Love Itself.
And he agreed wholeheartedly.
Oh, my. Wrap your understanding around that.
One of the strategies we use to understand something is to reduce the unknown to the known. We concretize, reify, reduce. But there’s nothing known that I’m aware of that would help understand Love.
A second strategy we use – a special example of the first – is to remake God anthropomorphically – in the image of humanity. God becomes an old man with a white beard – paternalistic, authoritarian, commanding. Farthest thing from the truth.
But let’s imagine that this tendency to make God over in our image is at one end of the scale. Then at the other end would be God as Love.
Love is more amorphous than a cloud. God as Love is more challenging to me than God as Void. The latter simply involves letting go, but the former involves much more openness and hence much more vulnerability.
Wrestling with the dilemma of understanding God as Love is useful because the friction of it causes love itself to rise through the cracks that open in our constructed self. We then find ourselves experiencing the love we’re contemplating. We’re one step closer to knowing God as Love – but only a step.
We’re barely understanding aspects of the mind and thought, let alone the heart and love. And understanding is only the first step (intellectual knowledge). We then have to feel it (experiential knowledge) and realize it (realized knowledge).
Last century anthropologists and sociologists explored – among other things (1) – how human beings have the power to make an object of themselves – to become self-conscious.
This century is exploring how human beings have the power to expand and emerge into more refined vibrations and levels, becoming, in the process, Self-conscious. Even some would say No-Self-conscious.
Ascension is freedom from the need to reincarnate, what Hindus call moksha and mukti. Not mere entry into the Fifth Dimension. Ascension comes later than mere entry, as far as I’m aware.
No more need to descend into density and walk around in a clanking suit of armor. No more stomach pangs and pains. No more fatigue. No more chills and fevers, aching limbs, fading powers.
What our White Brotherhood went through fire and water to achieve, we are being gradually lifted to as a planet.
