QUESTIONS DEALING WITH LIFE ON EARTH

QUESTION NO. 1 :    IF WE WERE PURE SPIRIT AND A PART OF AN ALL-KNOWING GOD, WHY WAS IT NECESSARY FOR US TO TAKE THIS LONG PILGRIMAGE OF SIN AND SORROW THROUGH MATTER?

ANSWER:  In the beginning of manifestation, God differentiated within Himself a multitude of potential spiritual intelligences as sparks are emitted by a fire. These spiritual intelligences were thus potential flames or fires, but they were not yet fires, for, thought endowed with the all-consciousness of God, they lacked SELF-consciousness; being POTENTIALLY omnipotent as God, they lacked dynamic power available for use at any moment according to their will; and in order that these qualities might be evolved it was imperative that they should go through matter. Therefore, during INVOLUTION each Divine Spark was encased in various vehicles of sufficient density to shut off the outer world from its consciousness.

Then the spirit within, no longer able to contact the without, turns and finds ITSELF. With wakening SELF-consciousness comes the spirit’s struggle to free itself from its prison, and during evolution the various vehicles which the spirit possess will be spiritualized into soul, so that, at the end of manifestation, the spirit will not only have gained SELF-consciousness but also soul-power.

Pure Spirits and part of God.

There is a tendency upon the part of most people to believe that all that is is the result of something else, leaving no place for any original new building. Those who study LIFE usually speak only of INVOLUTION and EVOLUTION; those who study the FORM, namely, the modern scientists, are concerned with EVOLUTION only, but the most advanced among them are now beginning to find another factor, which they have called EPIGENESIS. Already, in 1757, Caspar Wolff issued his Theorea Generations, wherein he showed that in the development of the ovum, there are a series of new buildings not at all foreshown by what has gone before, and Haeckel, endorsing this work, says that nowadays were are no longer justified in called epigenesis a theory.

For it is a fact which we may demonstrate, in the case of the lower forms where the changes are rapid, under a microscope. Since the mind was given to man, it is this original creative impulse, epigenesis, which has been the cause of all our development.

Truly do we build upon that which has been already created, but there is also something new due to the activity of the spirit and thus it is that WE BECOME CREATORS, for if we only imitated that which had already been laid out for us by God or Angel, it would never be possible for us to become creative intelligences; WE WOULD SIMPLY BE IMITATORS.

School of Life

And even thought we make mistakes, it may be said that we often learn much more by our mistakes than by our successes. The SIN and the suffering which the inquirer speaks about are merely the result of the mistakes we make, and their impression upon our consciousness causes us to be active along other lines which are found to be GOOD–that is to say, in harmony with nature. Thus this world is a training school and not a vale of tears wherein we have been placed by a capricious God.

 

FUTURE ENERGY

THE VRIL OR WHAT?

All visible things of this world are mental images and material crystallized as an architect is a house in your mind, removing the mental image planes, planes that then exploit the workers to build the house materially. Graham Bell’s imagination was crystallized in the phone, in a steamer Fulton, and so on. But of course, these ideas were not perfect from the start, requiring a great deal of experimentation before the inventions mentioned have the efficiency needed to be useful in life.
The mission of the material world, specifically, is to manifest our mistakes. We are developing enormous power within ourselves and in the physical world we have the most ideal condition to develop the skill required to use that power properly. Without that ability, in the subtle states of matter would produce immense damage. The strength is coming so let’s see when we look back on the past development, which will give us the true measure of perspective.
In the early dawn of human existence, man worked mainly with solids, the first stone tools were sharp, which is current domain. He later began to work on packing, traveling by canoe in rough water, or using it to run its mills. Later he learned to use the gas, wind, and driving force for boats or mills.
Having thus seen past progress should be evident that further progress of the human race depends on the discovery and use of a more subtle energy easily transmissible force even greater than we know.

In his work, “The Future Race”, a descriptive novel of esoteric reality; Bulwer Lytton  (author of Zanoni, The Last Days of Pompeii, Memoirs of a Physician, etc) gave us a glimpse of what will be the future strength of which gave the name of “VRIL NOW”; common humanity in the future. Like all other novels have never been taken seriously, but it has been considered only as the product of the imagination of a talented author. Jules Verne’s novels have been found by the public a similar attitude of admiration for his fantasy lived, however, would not there have been many of them? Around the World in Eighty Days, is now too slow for a century traveler. Underwater navigation and aircraft are a reality today. Indeed, the human mind cannot imagine anything that is not possible. This seems an extravagant claim, but would not be justified in view of what has already been done?.

Investing our argument we can say that something like Bulwer Lytton VRIL will be discovered before the man can take the big step to subsequent progress.

Bulwer Lytton, 1st Baron Lytton,

Bulwer Lytton, 1st Baron Lytton, (25 May 1803 – 18 January 1873), was an English politician, poet, playwright, and novelist. He was immensely popular with the reading public and wrote a stream of bestselling dime-novels which earned him a considerable fortune.

Certainly, great and wonderful discoveries are before us waiting for a more intensive exploitation of the forces already possessed, but the next big step depends on the discovery and preparation for use of those forces to come. Attempts were made to build the steam long before it obtained the success it has achieved today. The scientists also knew something about electricity before, but it has taken a long time to mature and that these ideas could be practically exploited. Similarly, as we marched and exploiting the forces we know, we have to prepare for the coming force and we find ways to use it more quickly.

Let’s take a look at the light of Bulwer Lytton VRIL, because among all the host of fantastic there is an invaluable truth hidden there.

The VRIL was a force to be generated within the characters in that novel. This force was not dependent on an external machine that cost money, which could favor the few and not the majority, all without exception in the future race will possessed that power from the birth to death.

Vril, the Power of the Coming Race is a 1871, novel by Edward Bulwer-Lytton, originally printed as The Coming Race

Certainly, this is an ideal far superior to a power station. There was no need for elevators, since each levitate at will. Nor were they needed the trams, cars or trains, as everyone could move quickly and easily by your own strength. Boats were useless for a man that could fly through the air without being exposed to the inconveniences inherent in travel by land or sea. Like you see with how much less resistance as the bird could fly without having to rely on airplanes or anything like that.
Like all other forces, the VRIL could be used as means of destruction, so it had to be careful in their use. It was necessary to have self-control in the highest degree, because if you let anger drives you it could cause terrible disasters. If we ever have to use that force, we have to see very well the great need of being good, loving and do not have enemies. Our lives would be in the hands of others to such an extent we cannot even imagine.

Future Race

This slow mode currently characterizes the externalization of thought in the form of things.  We must not take it as far as possible, or discouraged by the fact that our thoughts seems too subtle and elusive. The same happened with the other forces that later moved the wheels of progress. For countless ages, the waves have exhausted their energy on beating the coasts, but now the inventors are beginning to harness the power of water, putting generators in combination with the waterfalls. For eons the winds have swept the land and sea before his strength is put at the service of men in sailing ships. For ages the steam in the air leaking out of the pots used primitive mankind long before it learned to concentrate their power and use it in various industries. Just as the steam escapes uselessly from cooking vessels, so the radiant mind energy escapes uselessly from humanity today. And as the steam could be used, so the subtlest concentrating mental power. But colossally powerful, can concentrate for man’s work with an ease unimaginable compared to current forces, since these are simply used to work on existing things, while the Mental power is creative power.

We know how dangerous the other forces are when concentrated, while the steam escaping from a coffee can do the least harm. The electricity generated by friction in a glass or a piece of amber cannot be dangerous for anyone, but when the steam generated in quantity and locked in a boiler, can destroy the hands of incompetent workers, and making electricity tension in a wire can kill the ignorant that touch it. Similarly we can deduce that the Mental Power misdirected or employee unknowingly produces many more disastrous effects because is a more subtle energy. 

It is therefore necessary for man to attend a school for learning how to use the formidable power safely and effectively. Knowing it or not, the wise invisible instructors that powerfully work with humanity, have already provided the school when we placed us in this concrete existence.
