Greetings, dear ones; I see that at the present moment you are sitting in the great central temple of Pericles here in the Athenian center of Aureleus. This great temple was more commonly known as the Acropolis in Greek history, and is still known to the people of the present day. So that you may not feel that you are in a rut or that you have arrived at some stalemate, I might say your visit here this morning was timed to be in conjunction with a conclave or gathering of some of the former residents of the earth, such personages as Plato, Socrates, Pythagoras, Archimedes, Lucretius, and many others of the Greek and Roman philosophers of that age. There are several hundred of these very lustrous and illumined minds who have gathered here in this great temple for one of their periodic conclaves for the purpose of further unifying such philosophies as may be pertinent to their expression in the earth plane dimensions. Now the discourse at this time is given as the combined reflected expressions of many of these personages whom I have mentioned; and as your humble moderator, I shall for the present remain anonymous.

In the previous discussion by Charles Pearce, considerable attention was given to the laws of harmonic frequency vibration and relationship concepts; and because these points may confound or confuse any students who may read these lines in the future, our purpose here this morning is to dispel any doubt or confusion which may arise in the mind of the truth seeker. May I say to each one of you that you already contain latent within you, the knowledge and wisdom which was given to you in any previous texts which you may have read; and your arrival point in your future evolutions into various dimensions will be determined by the actual integrated awakening of the knowledge and wisdom which is contained potentially within your own creation.

Do you assume for one moment that God would be so unintelligent that He would create something of His own nature and fail to compound it with the elements of His own nature? The very virtues and essence of His own wisdom are also contained in every individual and in every one who resides in any spiritual or terrestrial dimension. If we philosophers or scientists here in these centers of Shamballa did not know of the ultimate destinies and purposes of man in his reincarnations and evolutions, we would be gravely concerned with his welfare. However, it is so that in the knowledge of these things, we can patiently await the time of man’s arrival and induction into a higher dimension of consciousness.

In the earth about you, you see many people who seem to have adopted a very worldly-wise way of living. They have become so sophisticated that they adopt an egocentric concept. They may gather about in the taverns or places of public conception and indulge themselves in the various platitudes of self-expression as to the merits and virtues of the kinds of foods or beverages by which they are surrounded, and indulge themselves in their various ways and modes of life. They may also guffaw very loudly at some lewd or obscene reference to sexual intimacies and things of that nature; and so they have thus considered themselves very wise and worldly. There are others too who have entered into the halls and institutions of learning and while they may not reflect in their own ways in a personal attitude, they too may know the ultimate destinies of man even though they may not be worldly-wise. Yet they have inflicted in the realm and dimensions of science, such mechanical monsters into your world that they have confounded and confused your way of life and made it into some sort of a mad rat race for survival. There are others too, who open the doors of their churches and temples, and, as priests or ministers, point their fingers and cry loudly, “This is the way to salvation,” and yet they themselves do not know to any degree or certainty where they will be on the morrow.

The wisdom and virtues of God’s Infinite Mind are not contained in any secluded cloistered spot in your terrestrial dimension; neither are they contained in such worldly philosophies as are expressed in the science and arts as they are practiced; nor will they be found only in the every day or the more mundane walks of life. Rather, they will be a combination. The ultimate wisdom is contained in all of the more esoterical virtues as they function properly in their proper relationship in the dimension in which they are conceived. Have you not looked about you into the creation of all things in your world and conceived the Divine and Intelligent plan for conception? You may see a small goldfish swimming in a bowl of water in the living room of some home; and have you not pondered a moment the obvious fact that the water, in flowing over the gill structure of this small creature, enables him to live in a dimension which would very quickly strangle you; that he absorbs the oxygen into his body just as your lungs absorb oxygen from the air; that his body has been streamlined so that the convolutions of his fins enable him to proceed in an unobstructed fashion through this element of aqueous nature. Yes, even the blades of grass at your feet contain a sermon of wisdom in the art of alchemy, which is not duplicated in the highest laboratory of science on your earth plane. In the processes of photosynthesis, the plant is doing something which none of your scientists has the least inkling of what is transpiring. In the ultimate conclusion of all of the growing, living, creeping, crawling things about you, you will find the answer to creation and to the most perplexing problems of your own nature.

Thus it is we see that all these things within themselves contain the elements of logic, wisdom and reasoning. Does not the newly hatched duck immediately proceed to the pond and embark with his feet to paddle about the surface; and yet he is untaught and unlearned in this newly found art. Do not also many of the other creatures of the dimension around you immediately begin to function in their own dimension and in their own realm, without having been previously taught or instructed? From where does this wisdom come? What is the motivating purpose behind the wisdom and logic of a creature such as a dog which will plunge into an icy stream to save his mistress from certain death at the risk of his own life? Does not the love which motivated the action of that dog supersede and make him logical beyond the realms and dimensions of the immediate dangers to which he has subjected himself? Yes, dear ones, even the act of raising your arm and wiggling your smallest finger involves chemical and electronic processes which would take at least hours of discussion to fully explain to you. Yet all of these things are automatic and without thought or reference to the processes which are involved.

In the empirical philosophical concepts of John Locke, he believed that man was born into the world with the surface of his mind completely polished and untarnished by any thought consciousness. While this may be true in the basic elemental concept of the consciousness of the objective mind, yet the empirical philosophies did not extend into the precepts of the Divine consciousness and into the creative plan behind the construction of the Divine Being, which is man. The conscious or objective mind is merely the result. It is the conglomerate association of the innumerable ideas and associations which you have formed in the various plateaus of living expressions about you in your daily life. Your mind may be likened somewhat, as it has been termed, to a telephone switchboard; the conscious thought or action is the result of and motivated by the immediate association of one or a hundred or so past associations. However, this deals primarily with the reactionary processes of life as they have been involved in your immediate sphere of creation. Your whole science of psychosomatic medicine, and psychology depends upon this precept of the empirical doctrines, as they were expressed by the earlier exponents of these philosophies. Therefore, by the same token, these same philosophies and sciences of psychiatry are somewhat in error in your world today, because they do not contain the necessary spiritual elements of concepts which enable the psychiatrist to function more properly as a healing agent in the correction of the malformed aberrations of the individual.

We must first conceive, as was pointed out to you, that you are a creature of Divine creation; that you truly are a small segment or a fraction of the Divine God-Force or Intelligence, as you have termed the Creative Force of all things; and that in the manifestation of the creation of this Divine self, it in turn remanifests itself into countless and innumerable dimensions; therefore it will thus take unto itself the necessary vehicle of expression in whichever dimension it finds itself functioning; and in turn it will create the human body; and in the process of creation, as you express it from day to day, you have no conscious knowledge, nor can you control the creative processes which constantly recreate your own earth body. Consequently you live in many bodies which are actually created for you during a lifetime. This too is a product of that Divine conscious Mind or your true God-self, or your superconsciousness. This is the Christ in you. This is the part which was not crucified on the cross at Galilee, for it was only the Jesus man who died by the vi0lent act of man. It was the Christ consciousness of the individual man which resurrected the body in the following days and survived for a number of days and months after the reconstruction.

May I point out to you that you yourself will do this same act in many ways and in different dimensions, through your countless evolutions and reincarnations into the future. You may not be nailed to the cross, as was Jesus; but the body which you find yourself now occupying will pass from you just as surely as did the body of Jesus pass from him. It will likewise pass from the consciousness of the many individuals who are living about you in your day and age, just as they have always passed and will continue to pass. Therefore, be not concerned, dear ones, at the present moment if you do not understand the fundamental laws of harmonics or frequency relationship, or if you cannot conceive the true nature of atomic structures. These wisdoms are contained in the structures and elements of the Divine Superconsciousness of each individual, and link him with the most Divine emanating wisdom from the Central Vortex. By the same token as you so evolve, you will arrive in the natural sequence and order of these evolutions into the precepts of the Divine Consciousness. It will be just as when you were born into your present evolution and state of growth in your terrestrial planet which you now occupy, in which the processes of eating, sleeping, walking, drinking, and the various acts of conductivity in your daily life were naturally arrived at and in harmonic conclusion. In the same manner, your future evolutions into these spiritual dimensions will be naturally and conclusively arrived at in their proper sequence and order.
