THE LADDER OF ASCENT.


THE LADDER OF ASCENT
Three of the rungs of this ladder are good music, nature and woman.  These are able to stir a man emotionally to his very core, releasing untold powers for ascent and other exploits.  The power released depends on the elevation of your spiritual core.  The higher it is the higher the power that can be released.  Thus a man whose origin is of the primordial spiritual when deeply stirred emotionally by any or all of these three will connect with this core and release powers greater than that of a man with a spiritual core.

THE KEY TO ALL ASCENT.


THE KEY TO ALL ASCENT.
Sexuality has two types of motions.  They are the shallow-rooted emanation of the sexual urge from merely the physical, biological body, and the deep-rooted emanation of the sexual urge/feeling from deep within the spirit of man.  The first motion is purely intellectual, and a one-sided attachment to it binds one to what is relatively low and earthly.  This is an ordinary feeling that goes no deeper than the biological physical body.  It is shallow and devoid of the real power of the spiritual impulse.  It is not every such arousal that should be gratified, in order to avoid a one-sided attachment to such an earthly feeling.  Such a feeling may also come when one has just taken an aphrodisiac or stimulant.  They are not all together bad, for they have their proper use.
The second motion is the spiritualized biological feeling.  This emotion of sex is very strong, coming from the spirit and mixed also with the emotion of love.  It is not every time this sublime feeling will be present with you.  It is not every time there is a sexual arousal that it is present.  This is because a mere sexual arousal is biological, but this feeling is spiritual and comes right from the spirit.  When this feeling comes it is a sacred time in which tremendous power is flowing through man from the spiritual realm through his spirit.  It is the highest power that can flow through man capable of enriching both himself and his environment when properly utilized.
When a man is motivated by the mere biological sexual urge, he may resort to any means in order to gratify it, but when this sexual urge is mixed with the emotion of love, and this harmonized emotion comes right from deep within the spirit, a man will only aspire towards what is noble, high and great, even as he may also seek to gratify this emotions physically.  Of course it is not excluded, but it is a vital part of the total man, which must not be neglected.  For as long as man is on earth he must not forget the earthly, but must give proper attention to it to experience it and develop it.  This spiritual impulse as it comes down from the spirit arouses and awakens the man through the opposite sex (the woman).  At such times his feelings, thoughts, words and deeds are borne by the power of the spiritual impulse, which vibrates through positive channels.  It is only what is good that will ensue.  Sex at such times is spiritualized and greatly enhanced.  It is pure.  Here there is hardly any danger of one-sidedness as long as the spiritual and the physical that are involved are balanced.  This great emotion does not come all the time, but it is worth watching out for as a sacred time of immense empowerment when the vital core of man, the spirit, breaks through and sends forth his radiations all around man for ennoblement and great deeds.  Thus at such times the value of the woman as a guardian of this burning flame of the emotions of sex and love dawns very strongly upon man.  He then sees the woman as a channel through which this power flows from the spirit.
This spiritual-biological impulse does not flow at all times, but at certain times.  This in itself is important for balance, and as a safety valve, for excessive and prolonged stimulation under this power can in itself be wrong.  Man should cherish and await this great creative energy that God has placed at his disposal for his benefit and enjoyment.  Infact this is the power behind every great achievement of man in all fields of endeavour, be they spiritual or material.  Blessed is the man or woman through whom this power flows powerfully and he or she is conscious of its proper usage for the enrichment of his physical and spiritual being. 
The ascent of man in the spiritual and in the earthly is dependent upon the presence and harnessing of this impulse.  Like the pool of Bethesda when at a certain time periodically the Spirit troubles the water and thus impact power upon it so that any one who jumps into it is healed of whatever disease, so is it with this motion from the Spirit of man.  At certain times periodically the spirit within arises, breaks forth, awakens, energizes and arouses through the instrumentality of woman, as the guardian of the flame, the sexuality of man and he then feels deeply towards the opposite sex, for nobility, for greatness and for union as a split species that his intuitive perception, thoughts, words and actions are so elevated that all obstacles or bad karma are removed from man that he is able to ascend spiritually and materially.  This spiritual impulse of the love-sex emotion that often times pulsate through man or woman is therefore the key to all ascent.  Happy and great are those in whom this impulse is still alive and powerful.  Happy and great are those that have not buried this asset by attachment to surface sexual emanations.  These are the evolved beings who thus maintain connection with their spiritual origin.
The emotion of love-sex is a spiritual-biological impulse transmitted down from the spirit.  As it emanates from the spirit it is a purely spiritual energy, and it only cloaks itself with the emotion of sex since man is a split species, so that in being aroused toward the opposite sex man seeks for union with the other complementary split species.  And so this cloak becomes a major means for the awakening of the lower functions of man.  In this way a state of mind is induced that is so intense that his volition attracts to him magnetically all that is homogeneous with his desire or aspiration.  If in this state of mind his volition is striving toward union with the opposite sex physically, he may experience females coming to him first in his dreams, and finally manifesting in the physical in females being more interested in him and seeking his friendship and intimacy, but then only females that are homogeneous with him.  If in this state of mind his volition is striving toward spiritual ascent he will attract both ethereally and then physically all the things, people, events and forces that are required for him to spiritually ascend.  He should then wisely utilize the opportunities that will be brought to him from time to time for his spiritual ascent.

THE MASTER-PUPIL


THE MASTER-PUPIL.
The conscious you is the intellectual, gross, outward, planning and thinking you.  It is the encasement for the real You, the unconscious You – the spiritual You, that is the inner spiritual Master.
The conscious you handles the conscious, outward arrangement of your life, which consists of planning and thinking and executing.  This is the surface you.  It draws its energy and power from the unconscious spiritual You.  If it draws too much energy from the inner You, it means imbalance and a one-sided attachment to the activity of the conscious intellectual you.  It is unhealthy.  Actually the conscious you represents only about 1/10th of your Real Being.
Your Real Being, the unconscious You handles the unconscious, non-intellectual arrangements of your life, whereby things are arranged and worked out outside the knowing or participation of the narrow-minded conscious you.  This You is about 9/10th of your life activity in value on earth.  This part sees far beyond the widest knowledge or understanding of the conscious you.  It can for example arrange something for you mysteriously weeks, months or years in advance.  It is mysterious and profound in his working.  This workings of the inner You, you have often experienced.  This You is given opportunity to exert his influence better through non-intellectualism, but attachment to non-intellectualism must be avoided, for all attachments or one-sidedness are always unhealthy.  One must not lose grip of the important conscious intellectual hold on life on earth.
Both sides of life here on earth must be exercised in a balanced and harmonious way.  Exercise the conscious you through your intellectual, planning and thinking run of life as we know it here on earth.  Balance this with the non-intellectual activity of the unconscious spiritual You.
The happy mean will be achieved in which there is a harmonious and balanced union of both such that your very conscious intellectual activities are fully infused with the power of the unconscious spiritual You.  You will then be a man as he should be, truly living the spiritual life on earth.  In your life on earth you will witness more and more how the inner spiritual You is arranging and synchronizing your life in harmony with the conscious you.  You will experience your guiding spiritual inner Master, the Real You.

I SEE


I SEE
Dwelling in this body,
I lift up my eyes and see­­­ –
I see that I am not this body, not this name, not this nationality.
I see that the essential kernel that I am is not a Nigerian,
Not a “Christian”, not this successful man, not all these labels.
I see that I am on a journey.
At every turn of the wheel I am in a different carriage,
The one I needed best suited for that particular time.
At each stage a new body, a new name, a new nationality, a new religion? –
I am not all these changing forms of lower-lying matter.
I see that I am the eternal Spirit,
Experiencing creation in these epochs of time in the world,
Learning in the continuum of time in which I live.
I live ever and it is the same I that dress Myself for the different occasions each time.
I am not this cloak.
This is not My first time.
In the truest sense of who I am, I cling not to external labels of the world,
For I transcend the world.
I only sojourn here, learning.
I am a citizen of the Luminous World
Where I bear My true Name and My true Body.
There is nothing but life, and I live.
From the Great World, land of a thousand suns, we came down here to learn.
In the many lifetimes We have spent here so far,
We have graduated from one class to the next,
Until in the end We have, like Odysseus,
Gained enough experience and knowledge
To return Home as matured Spirits to the Luminous World.

THE PICTURE AND THE WORD.


THE PICTURE AND THE WORD.
You cannot describe something well that you have not seen.  So the Picture and the Word must go together in order to produce a good description of something.  If for example you are describing a person with only words, the impression you can create in the hearer would not be clear, definite and complete.  But if you present together with the description his picture, you create a better impression and understanding in your hearers, just as you may use diagrams, charts, pictures and graphs to give a pictorial illustration of a "paper".  Infact you cannot even describe the person if you have not seen him or his picture before.  The picture is not the same as the actual living person himself.  When it is impossible for you to see the living person because of the barrier of distance, the picture and the word of description are the best approximations for bringing the nature of the living person to your understanding.  The best you can know of the person can only be brought through these coarse, scaled down and rigid representations, and not the actual living person.
Through the Word, the Picture and your experiencing of Creation you can continuously expand your knowledge of Creation.  It is not for nothing they say, “a picture paints a thousand words”, and “experience is the best teacher”.  These are to underscore the importance of these elements in the acquisition of knowledge of the Will of God in Creation.

ATTENTION

ATTENTION.
Consciousness is built only through attention. Good or evil comes when you place your attention on what is good or on what is evil until what is good or what is evil becomes the dominant consciousness. In intuitive perception, thought, word or deed you should let your attention dwell on what is good so that it becomes the dominant consciousness you have. This has the reciprocal effect of also detaching you gradually from all your wrong volitions, so that they no longer bring to you any wrong reactions. Let your good overwhelm your bad so that you receive only what is good. Good or evil comes only through the channel of your attention. This is why the Bible says, “My son, attend unto my wisdom…”
Link yourself to the good, but detach yourself from evil; and this only comes through the discipline of right attention. In this regard it is because it takes some time to let good gain the ascendancy and the evil to be detached from through right attention that they say “time heals”. With time you get over what is wrong as you continue in right activities. It will develop the right volition that brings the right reciprocal effect with time.
Let your good outweigh your bad. Pursue only what is good always. If you err do not remain in it. Detach yourself from it by focusing only on what is right, so that it may have the dominance in your life. Do not dwell on what is wrong, except it is for the purpose of understanding it in order to master it; but rather dwell on what is right.

THE DISCIPLE AS AN EXTENSION AND CONTINUATION OF THE WORK OF THE MASTER


THE DISCIPLE AS AN EXTENSION AND CONTINUATION OF THE WORK OF THE MASTER.
The Disciple is one who is able to understand the word of the Master and to correctly apply it to specific areas of life, or to correctly mediate to seekers who ask him for help.  Thus the Disciple is a co-worker with the Master.
The Master gives the Message as the root, basis and foundation for all human activity.  That is what he may have time to do.  But the Disciple takes this Message and cleverly uses it to build up specific areas of human life.

INCARNATION OF SPIRIT IN MATTER, WHY


INCARNATION OF SPIRIT IN MATTER, WHY?
The spirit germ was incarnated here in gross matter cloaks:  Firstly, it is a challenge for the spirit whether the higher qualities of spirit will prevail and reign/rule in the lower world of matter.  These are the qualities of simplicity, naturalness, movement, balance and harmony.  Will this being live the spiritual life?  Will the spirit live through the material cloaks the spiritual life?  Will he be enlightened?  Secondly, it is only by being sunk in gross matter cloaks of this world that through the varied experiences in the world the spirit elements of the spirit germ are united together and made strong.  If this being lives the spiritual life, which of course does not mean a one-sided spiritual life, the elements are so united that the spirit shines through the cloaks unto the world.  If this being does not live the spiritual life, the spirit cannot mature.  It remains buried in matter and cannot resurrect from matter in a conscious state, but only in the unconscious state.  As this being lives the spiritual life, the Spirit itself will bring forth all the varied experiences he needs as part of the challenge for maturing.

SUBSTANTIALITY 3



REFLECTIONS
Do not be alarmed when you discover you made a mistake.
You are just a being that is evolving.
No one version of the Truth is final.
So, move on, and manifest the light you bear within you.

VARIETY.
Do not always try to do everything in the same old format that you think is best when the impetus for necessary change and improvement comes.  Give room for variability, change, innovation and upward development.

SUBSTANTIALITY

HOW I PICTURE IT.

 


TRUE LOVE.
I love you,
Not because you are my wife.
I love you,
Not because you are my daughter.
I love you,
Not because you are my son.
Obligations by virtue of relationships I fulfil,
But the love I have for you transcends relationships.
The love I have for you I have for an ant.
True love is not limited,
And true love is not biased.

MISTAKES.
If you are waiting to do something flawlessly, you will wait forever and never do anything.  As a human being there may always be unintentional errors despite our best efforts.

FORCES AND PARTICLES


IF THERE ARE ANY ERRORS IN THE FOLLOWING, THEY ARE MINE AND NOT THOSE OF THE GRAIL MESSAGE.


LIFE.





RELIGIOUS TOLERANCE.
Truth bringers (Truth teachers), great or small, bring the fundamental universal truth in a form to mankind.  The essence of their teachings, which is the fundamental universal truth that runs like a thread through all the truth bringers, they bring to the whole of mankind; but the form they give to it, which is based on their own experiences, cultural background, physical and mental make-up and geographical location is not for the whole of mankind, but for those whose own, but similar, experiences, cultural background, physical and mental make-up . . . resonate with this form.  As long as the form of the truth-teaching is simple and natural enough for you, and enables you to realise movement, balance and harmony, it is good for you.  But this you cannot know except through your own experiences and spiritual effort.  “What is good for one may not be good for another; what helps one may harm another”.  Therefore everyone must pave his own way to the form and to salvation.  The basis for determining what is true for you through your own experiences is what is simple enough for you, what is natural for you, what is joyful activity for you, what is balanced, (i.e., not one-sided), and what is in harmony with you.  Anything that is complicated, unnatural, restricts you, one-sided and discordant is not good for you.
Any man therefore who is able to detect, pick up, receive and experience firsthand the great thread of the universal basic truth that has ever been and that will ever be, and to give it a form of expression based on his own experiences, nature, location etc is a Truth bringer.
He is sent specifically to all those whose own experiences, make up, etc, enable them to vibrate in harmony with the form of the teaching of this Truth bringer, and then to the rest of humanity in general to whom he recommends above all only to the fundamental essence of his teaching, which runs like a thread through all forms and all humanity.
The Truth-bringer does not therefore demand that all must stick to the outward form he has given to his teaching, but he offers it only and without demanding to those that can receive it.  To the rest of mankind he recommends only the fundamental aspects of his teaching, which runs like a thread, and from out of which the various forms are composed.  So, irrespective of the outward forms the basic essence is the same, and it is this basic essence that matters above all.  Therefore all strife over religious differences is childish.  As long as the core universal tenets are up held, all religious forms lead to God.

DEMOCRACY.
In the first place it is not the system of leadership or government that is important, but the quality of the leaders and the people.  Any system of leadership is good, be it democracy or any other, provided that the leaders and the people uphold the Truth.  The people will be happy and there will be progress everywhere.
The Truth is the fundamental thing.  The form it takes in the system of governance may vary depending on the nature of the people.  What is important is that the people’s free will is not gagged and that they are served.  As long as there is Truth everywhere and the people are happy and constantly striving for development and progress, it does not matter what form governance takes, be it democracy or any other variation.
The differences and diversities of forms that emanate from the Truth are not for division and strife, but for harmony and balance, for the manifestation of diversities from the Truth is a basic property of the Truth itself.  If these differences cause intolerance, fear and a feeling of insecurity in some people, it is because of lack of understanding and immaturity of the people.

WE ARE ONE FAMILY.
People in a developed part of the world are not in essence different from people in an underdeveloped part of the world.  They are not superior, not more intelligent and not more spiritually enlightened than any other people.  People are essentially the same.  The difference is just that one group of persons are, firstly, constantly striving to achieve some specific high goal and, secondly, are in a better and lighter environment, physically and ethereally.
It does happen that some really high one, who should not be in a backward place among a backward people by virtue of his own evolution, finds himself there.  His life and thoughts tower above the people.  He does not belong there.  He belongs to a better, nobler and higher place, among a higher people.  This he may often intuitively perceive with some “pain”.  He has much to give but his environment limits him by the low level of understanding.  He is a gift to such a people.

FORCES AND PARTICLES.
Creation consists only of forces and particles.  The forces permeate and penetrate the particles, and propel them in their movements and activities.  The forces are equivalent to the currents, and there are many different subdivisions of them.  The particles are equivalent to the forms, and there are also many different subdivisions of particles in creation.
Image:  A wheel with a diametrical horizontal bar.
The horizontal bar represents the forces, and the wheel represents the particles.




LOVE ALL.
Much respect for Nature.
Nature undisturbed in the calving of the animals –
Horses, cows and sheep . . .
Conveyor tracks are on the ground.
Elaborate designs are concealed under pavements.
By force of huge blasts in the mountain by night,
Chunk-sparks fly from the mountain
Like projectiles over distance to site of use.

FORM AND SYMBOL OF THE TRUTH

IF THERE ARE ANY ERRORS IN THE FOLLOWING, THEY ARE MINE AND NOT THOSE OF THE GRAIL MESSAGE.





 A PRAYER.
O LORD GOD my Father,
Morning and evening I remember your great Work of Creation.
Help me today to be one with your Ultimate Truth in my daily living,
In thoughts, words and actions.
Within me and around me let there be:
Right movement, joyful activity, beautifying work,
Uplifting exercise, glorious life, development and progress;
Balance, symmetry, non-attachment, refreshing change,
Left-right alternation, no one-sidedness, and no excess;
Union, harmony, coherence, peace,
Oneness, love for all and faith in the Truth.  Amen.
 




BENEFIT FROM YOUR OWN EXPERIENCES.
A man may share his experiences with you.  Take from it only what benefits you.  You yourself must earn your own experiences and profit from them.  Experiences may or may not be different, but the truth they teach is fundamentally the same.  It is primarily your own experiences and the lessons learned from them that can give you lasting benefits.
Let every experience, good or bad, be fully absorbed and understood, not merely by the surface mind, but by the inner Mind.  Do not just let the experience flow in and out, and fade out of your consciousness without retaining the lessons from it, but retain it long enough to absorb it and understand it to know how things are, for the purpose and benefit of future dealings.
Do not therefore forget history, how that for example, something was helpful in the past, so that you may value it appropriately and not despise it because you have forgotten.  Those who forget history repeat the mistakes of the past.  They will not be able to progress because they are caught in a cycle from which they are unable to free themselves.

THE OPPOSITION OF ATTACHMENT.
The law of life swings – it swings to and fro from one side to the other in all things.  When a man flows with this rhythm in all his activities, he enjoys happiness and progress in all he does. 
It is resistance to this rhythmic motion, caused by a man’s attachment to a thing, not wanting to change – to move – that is the cause of some of the sufferings in life.  The laws are all powerful.  They are unbending and they respect no one.  They have no favourites.  No one opposes the laws without there being a natural reaction that brings discomfort, suffering and pain.
Therefore, flow with the laws and be in harmony with them.  They will buoy you up.  Only you yourself – your own alertness, keen observation, inner sensing, awareness and experiencing of your day to day living – that will help you to avoid attachment in all your dealings.  Natural inner feeling and sensing will be your guide even in this.  Let knowledge and love strengthen your conscience and make your inner feelings true.

WHAT IS GOOD?
“What is good?”  I questioned.
“A life of ease?”  I probed.
“No!”  He answered.
“A life of toil?”  I probed further.
“No!”  He answered.
“What is good then!?”  I demanded.
Silence - - -
“What is good!?”  “Tell me!”  I inquired doggedly.
“A life of ease-toil!”  He answered.
“How, Knowing One!?”  I sought enlightenment.
“Find your answers within and around you!”  He instructed.
Seeking in holy pages, reflecting and experiencing,
I saw the eternal dance of the two arms of the world.
Like a serpentine wave, and like a swimmer performing the crawl,
I saw the left-right alternating strokes of life.
I saw the rising and falling, the undulating, and the coming and going.
What is a mountain without the valley?
What is the raining season without the dry season?
What is day without the night?
What is the spiritual without the material?
What is right without the wrong?
There is no success without failure;
No learning without mistakes.

FROM MY HEART.
My son, lover of Truth,
I have given you the knowledge of how things are in all creation,
Of how Movement, Balance and Harmony rule in the chambers of the worlds.
Wherever you may be and in whatsoever situation you may find yourself,
Pleasant or unpleasant, you thus know what you must do.
If you err, however, you will only progress through the experience.
Only bear no evil intention in your mind toward another:
Be kind to all, even to the animals,
And do not be afraid.
It shall be well with you.
