Knowledge about
Christhood in various parts
NOTE: I ask not that you believe the messages sent forth, only that you read
them with an open mind. I am not concerned with what you believe period. I wish
to also remind you that messages received from ANYONE can become distorted as
they pass through the various dimensions to be received by the receiver. ALWAYS
go within for clarification. You and you alone are your best teacher and you
need no other; follow your own inner guidance. How will this world be if we are
all acting, thinking or doing things identically? On one hand, it will be easier
for everyone then again the world will have a shorter lived because no education
or challenges will be required and therefore boring period. We should thank God
that we have differences in opinions but should also be able to use them in a
conscious and diplomatic as well as constructive ways to avoid hurting the
other. Concepts is what make us unique as individual and similar as a group.
If something you read here does not ring true to you then by all means disregard
it and go on to what does. For one person’s truth is not always another’s. What
is given today can very well change tomorrow in fact in the next instant as ALL
THINGS are in constant change. Please use your discrimination in reading this
and all material intended for spiritual growth, as truth is a personal thing,
and each journey towards truth, unique. If your Guidance tells you that an
article is not of value to you, just ignore it. It may be an eye-opener for
someone else. In my opinion; Christ here have nothing to do with Jesus as every
baby passed through Christhood (Kunliyo) in Mandingo and (Ngenteh) in Wolof. Edi
THE CHRIST PATTERN
David Spangler
From "Reflections on the Christ" (Published 1976)
Lectures given to The Findhorn Foundation
Each of us is intimately concerned with the enfoldment and development
of that pattern which for centuries has been called the Christ pattern. This is
true wherever an individual may be upon the Earth, whatever creed or religion he
is involved in, whatever nationality he belongs to.
I wish to share with you an understanding of how the Christ has been functioning
on this planet for a very long time. How he will do so in the future, the future
will unfold. It is true that we are all very involved with that enfoldment. And
a centre like this (the Findhorn Foundation) is working directly to manifest
something very much part of the Christ pattern.
We will begin by going back in time and looking first at the Earth and its
pattern. The Earth is a special planet. It is the only planet in this solar
system that has highly evolved life functioning to this degree of density,
within physical matter. All of the other planets are inhabited, but the life on
the other planets is primarily etheric and planes above. The Earth is the only
one in this system, which has a highly developed species operating on such a
low-level vibratory frequency. This has been part of the Earth's function.
The Earth has fulfilled many functions within the solar system. Part of its
function has been to provide that particular environment in which spiritual
consciousness can come to grips with matter – hard, dense physical matter.
In order to do this, spiritual life has had to adapt itself in much the same way
that a diver needs to adapt himself in descending the depths. Our bodies are not
conditioned for life under the ocean. We are too buoyant. If we attempt to dive
very far without any kind of artificial aid, it is not only a question of not
being able to breathe, it is a question of not being able to get down very far,
because of the buoyancy of the body. So we have to, in some fashion, place
weights; sometimes it is a simple belt of lead weights, other times it is an
entire suit. These weights help us overcome our natural buoyancy and hep us to
remain under and to go down deeper.
It is a very similar situation with respect to most spiritual life on this
planet, but with particular reference to mankind, because mankind is the most
highly evolved life form functioning within a physical body. There are other
extremely evolved entities on the planet, of a devic and elemental nature, but
they are not functioning in physical bodies. Man, in order to come to grips with
this plane of reality, had to utilise and come under the influence of forces of
materialisation. These are forces, which operate in direct reverse to what we
normally call spiritual forces, but they are every bit as much spiritual and
divine as the forces that we normally associate with God and with the patterns
of man's arising consciousness. In fact if it were not for these forces of
materialisation, physical matter as we know it could not exist. There has to be
a strong, I will call it downward pull, but it is actually more of a break in
the way that it functions, in that it slows things down and allows them to
manifest at a lower-vibratory frequency.
These forces used properly are very beneficial. They place before man the kind
of experiences, which he has come to this dimension to encounter. Used
improperly, they swamp man with experience, experiences beyond his capacity to
integrate or to cope with. These forces are not in any way educative forces.
They do not give to man the power of synthesis that is the ability to abstract
from an experience some degree of wisdom that will enable him to move higher or
become more skilful. All that these forces do is provide for man the capacity to
move through dense matter, and to then have the opportunity to learn whatever
dense matter has to offer him.
This is the way it started out, and it started out very fine. But it is very
natural for developing consciousness to become mostly attuned to the forces it
is mostly in contact with, the forces it can understand. We have all experienced
the inescapable reality of the world, so-called, against the seeming unreality
of the spiritual world. People have asked from time to time, "How can one get in
contact with the higher self?" That question alone presupposes that in some way
that level is a bit unreal. It is unreal to most people. The impacts we receive
through our five physical senses are far more definite and clear cut for most
people than the impulses that come through the subtler senses. Here I do not
necessarily mean things like the psychic awareness of clairvoyance and
clairaudience, but the true spiritual awareness functioning through the
intuition.
