UFOs and the New Age movement phenomenon

One New Age channeling cult, above all the rest, has had a huge - if not disturbing - influence on hundreds of thousands of devotees worldwide. Known as 'The Nine', its disciples include cutting edge scientists, multi-millionaire industrialists and leading politicians.

Now boarding!

Names involved include Andrija Puharich, Sir John Whitmore, Phyllis V. Schlemmer, J.J. Hurtak (“Keys of Enoch” [“Axiotonal Alignment”]), Charles and Lillian Laughead (of the Dorothy Martin/Sister Thedra circle).

Others such as Dr Neil Hitchen, Lyall Watson(he is credited with the first published use of the term "hundredth monkey" in his 1979 book, Lifetide), Stuart Holroyd (commissioned by Puharich and Whitmore to write of their adventures in 1977 as a prelude to the coming landing on planet Earth) and Gene Roddenberry (“Beam me up Scotty”).

Phyllis V. Schlemmer, Andrija Puharich, Sir John Whitmore, J.J. Hurtak(eccentric erstwhile guru from California, a man with his own extra-terrestrial contacts who had regaled his students at the California Institute of the Arts with reports of his conversations with contacts with names like Enoch, Maitreya and Metatron, learnt from Tom that he was from Altea and he was the 'spiritual leader' of the Ossining Group "[1]), Dr Neil Hitchen and Lyall Watson were core members who received information from the “Nine” received thru “TOM” which included:

“Atlantis, Tom explained in reply to Andrija's question, was a civilisation originated by a migrant group from Aksu. It had flourished for thousands of years and had come to a sudden cataclysmic end about 11000 BC. It had stretched from Greece to the Americas. The name Atlantis was in fact a corruption, and it should be known as the Altean civilisation, for its people 'were of the civilisation of Altea'.

'Could you give us a glimpse of the level of civilisation attained by the Alteans?' Andrija asked. 'What was their outstanding achievement?'

'In the field of what you call medicine they were far superior to what you are at this time. Also, your knowledge of electronics is primitive compared to their knowledge. And they knew how to use the mind to move objects and to move themselves. If it was not that below their waist, they were always in trouble, it would have been a fine civilisation.'

'Was their medicine not able to help them with that part of their problem?' Andrija asked.

'They enjoyed it,' Tom said. 'We, as we have told you before have no objections to enjoyment, except when it becomes that consuming.

Instead of using the great medical knowledge that they had to improve their minds they used it to improve their sex organs.' Altean surgery, he explained, was capable of effecting transplants of all the vital organs of the body, even of brains, and 'those organs that were transplanted were far superior to those that had existed in the physical body'. The life expectancy of an Altean who had the best medical care could run into thousands of years.[2]

I have nothing against UFO’s or Aliens. Great bunch of people. I’m looking for a ride to Mexico for week.

Maybe they could just hover outside my window every morning so I can snap a pic?.
I won't tell.
Promise!

“Briefing for the Landing on Planet Earth” by Stuart Holroyd[1979] [1][2][3] states:

Hurtak, who had held the post of Professor of Oriental Studies at the California Institute-of the Arts at Valencia, was not so much a teacher as an experience, a guru-figure whose teaching was not an explanation of objective reality but a spontaneous creation of ideas and experiences that made his students explore new areas for themselves and in themselves. Dressed always in a crumpled suit and wearing a black beret perched on the back of his head, Hurtak held classes which sometimes ran as long as eight hours, during which he would alternate between reading long passages of scripture and delivering rambling commentaries on them. The commentaries were always fascinating and provocative, but how they were connected with the readings was a mystery to John. He sometimes spoke about UFOs and about his personal contacts with extra-terrestrials, who, he said, had often intervened in Earth history since prehistoric times, when they had first established a civilization in the Tarim Basin to the north of Tibet. Many of his students recorded his every word, except on occasions when he made them turn off their machines while he gave them some devastating piece of cosmic news that only he was privy to and which he said he was now allowed to share with them.

Who or what was Tom?[3]

1. Tom was a pure invention, a creation of Andrija, Phyllis or John or of the three of them in collusion.
2. Tom was an unconscious invention, a composite created out of information contained in the minds of the sitters by the well-known mediumistic process of 'withdrawal' of such information.
3. Tom was a secondary personality of Phyllis's, endowed with psi abilities, that takes over when she is in a dissociated state of consciousness.
4. Tom was a spirit, a discarnate entity with extraordinary powers of invention and cognition.
5. Tom was what he says he is, an intelligent being from another part of the cosmos.

As Quimby stated: Our acts are directed by our belief!

So, as regards Axiatonal alignment, when I read things like:
What I have discovered is: the Axialtonal (they could at least spell it right) Alignment is a little sensitive. There is a safety built in that will kick you out (misalign you again) under certain circumstances.
The Rules: Only positive, non-ego, selfless type thoughts seem to be allowed. Thoughts and intentions need to be set in a positive, somewhat selfless and worldly way. Any negative or ego centered thinking will set you off the (axialtonal) grid. You can think about how to positively affect your world, the world and lives around you and ultimately the universe. EX: "I need/want a big house/money/etc" vs "my house/money etc. bring me and my family great joy and brings joy to anyone who is near it"
I have found it is best done when someone is sleeping for optimal benefit, as the mind cannot get in the way of what I call the "gridwork".

I chalk it up to a vivid imagination and belief system.

"We are here
This is Tom
We come in love and peace
Greetings, blessings, joy"

This is how many of the transmissions from The Council of Nine begin.

They are transmitted via Tom, their spokesman.
The Only Planet of Choice
by Phyllis V. Schlemmer
1993

Earlier in 1973, maverick linguist, alleged CIA consultant, occultist and nouveau Egyptologist, J.J. Hurtak, according to his account, had been “lifted up” in a body of light into a region of stars called Merak and Muscida by the Master Ophanim Enoch. Enoch, answering a prayerful plea from Hurtak, had come to deliver a revelatory message outlining the purpose of life on the Earth plane, and to reveal the contours of a coming confrontation between the Children of Light and the Fallen Masters of Darkness. Over a period of two days (Jan 2-3) Enoch “downloaded” into Hurtak a total of 64 keys or revelations and these became The Book of Knowledge: The Keys of Enoch. The Book of Knowledge details a premillennial, post-Christian account that calls on the Children of Light to be genetically recoded for the energy transformations to come that they may be the vanguard of an ascended “Christ Race,” which will complete the evolution of the original Pre-Adamic races. http://www.cesnur.org/2004/waco_matthews.htm

If you can make the reader believe anything no matter how absurd it is, he will prove it to be true by his experiments. This proves that our beliefs make us act and our acts are directed by our belief, for the wisdom or knowledge is in the belief. People are not aware of this.

Make man responsible for his belief and he will be as cautious what he believes as he is in what he says and does, for he will see that just as he measures out to another just so it will be measured out to him.

If you make a person believe that he is in danger of any trouble he will be affected just according to his belief, so all beliefs are to be analyzed like food or drink to see what it contains and how it acts upon the body, for the belief being in the mind, it shows itself on the body.

You do actually make the "things before” pleasant or unpleasant for you according as you think of them in advance.

NEW thought is new life. When an invention, a discovery first breaks on the inventor's mind, it fills him with joy. The blood in his veins surges with a fresher impetus. The author or poet is lifted into ecstasy of emotion by a new conception; I mean the relatively few creative authors and poets--not the many who, borrowing the fire of Genius, put it in their own lanterns and pass it off, often successfully as their own.


Whatever the mind is set upon, or whatever it keeps most in view, that it is bringing to it, and the continual thought or imagining must at last take form and shape in the world of seen and tangible things.

I repeat this assertion often in these books and in various forms of expression because this fact is the cornerstone of your happiness or misery, permanent health and prosperity, or poverty. It needs to be kept as much as possible in mind. Our thought is the unseen magnet, ever attracting its correspondence in things seen and tangible. As we realize this more and more clearly, we shall become more and more careful to keep our minds set in the right direction. We shall be more and more careful to think happiness and success instead of misery and failure.

Mankind demand something better. That demand, that cry has been swelling and increasing in volume for many centuries. Demand must always be answered. This demand is now being answered, first to the few, next to the many. New light, new knowledge and new results in human life and all it involves, are coming to this earth.

Thoughts are Things
ESSAYS SELECTED FROM THE WHITE CROSS LIBRARY
by Prentice Mulford
1908

You belong to your own race; go join them again; cultivate again.

In “The Swamp Angel” Prentice Mulford tells the story of his amateur hermit life.

“I had long entertained the idea of building for myself a house in the woods, and there living alone. Not that I was cynical or disgusted with the world. I have no reason to be disgusted with the world. It has given me lots of amusement, sandwiched between headaches, periods of repentance, and sundry hours spent in the manufacture of good resolutions, many of which I could not keep because they spoiled so quickly on my hands. I have tried to treat the world pretty well, and it has rewarded me. For the world invariably returns kick for kick, frown for frown, smile for smile.
I found at last in New Jersey, a piece of woods, a swamp, a spring nearby, a rivulet, and above all, a noble, wide spreading oak. The owner willingly consented to my building there, and under the oak I built.
I was living alone, in the country, in a house I built for myself.”

He was philosophical about the end of that experiment too:

“I had imagined I could live happily alone in nature, and largely independent of the rest of the human race. I couldn’t. I don’t believe anybody can. Nature has taught me better. I found that birds went in pairs and in flocks; that plants and trees grew in families; that ants live in colonies, and that everything of its kind has a tendency to live and grow together. But here I was, a single bit of the human race, trying to live alone and away from my kind. The birds and trees were possibly glad of my admiration for them, but they said :-- You don’t belong to us. You shouldn’t try to belong to us. You belong to your own race; go join them again; cultivate again. We live our own lives; you can’t get wholly into our lives. You’re not a bird, that you can live in a nest and on uncooked seeds; or a squirrel, that can live in a hole in a tree; or a tree, that can root itself in one place and stay there, as you’ve been trying to. A hermit is one who tried to be a tree, and draw nourishment from one spot, when he is really a great deal more than a tree, and must draw life and recreation from many persons and places. A bear is not so foolish as to try and live among foxes; neither should man try to live entirely among trees, because they cannot give him all that he must have to get the most out of life.
So I left my hermitage, I presume forever, and carted my bed and pots and pans to the house of a friend.”

National Magazine, 1905

If you want to succeed, keep your counsel. Be determined in your effort.

WHEN questions requiring decision arise the man who works by reason must depend upon the results of past experience. If he has had no experience bearing on that particular point he is adrift upon a tempestuous sea of doubt. The man who has reached the higher wisdom can go into his room and get help from the source of power. More than half of the American world are aimless. They rush hither and thither with one idea to-day, another to-morrow, throwing their force away in fruitless effort. This will never accomplish enough to acquire a competence. Wait! Find yourself! Make the decision as to what the occupation shall be with due deliberation.
Keep the idea before you during your leisure and let it remain in the consciousness while employed. The decision will come. When it does hold it in a tight grip. It makes no difference what the aim is. Nothing is beyond you if your power is developed. Nothing can be farther above you than was my desire for understanding was from me. Ignorant, uncouth, antagonistic, I was everywhere wrong. Mine worked out through persistent determined effort. Yours will also. Do not talk. This is imperative. If you do some one will laugh at you, or sneer, or pour cold water some other way, and diminish your resolve if not destroy it entirely. They bring you into touch with the current of world doubt. If you want to succeed, keep your counsel. Be determined in your effort. If some one tells you that God is withholding the realization of ideals for some purpose which we are forbidden to examine, put him down for a false prophet, laugh, and go serenely upon your way. You will get whatever your mind feels it must have if you keep after it with all the wisely directed vigor of your soul. Do not allow yourself to become subservient. The cringing type of man draws scorn, ridicule and figurative blows. His society is nowhere welcome. No one trusts such a man. Do not " look up " to any man. You are the peer of all. Not as fully developed perhaps, filled with fears, perhaps : but in the reality none are superior. Get expression from your soul and live from within, then this subserviency will leave you. Neither should you be domineering. Holding yourself dominant in order to repel insolence does not imply that one should domineer. The latter is the other extreme of subserviency. It draws disrespect, opposition and hostility.

Into The Light by Bruce Maclelland - 1916

I am Spirit, Mind, Wisdom, Strength, Wholeness.

Emma Curtis Hopkins promoted five specific denials for students to regularly make, balanced by five specific affirmations, and recommended setting aside a morning each week to meditate upon them.
Denials:
1. There is no evil.
2. There is no matter.
3. There is no absence of life.
4. Sensation is not a physical or material experience.
5. There is no sin, sickness or death.
Affirmations:
1. My Good is my God. My God is Life, Truth, Love, Substance, Intelligence - omniscient, omnipotent, omnipresent.
2. In God I live and move and have my being.
3. I am Spirit, Mind, Wisdom, Strength, Wholeness.
4. The I AM works inevitably through me to will and to do that which ought to be done by me.
5. I am governed by the law of God and cannot sin or fear sin, sickness or death.

Denial did not mean denial of the existence of a problem, but rather, it was a counselling process by which a patient was first encouraged

• to speak of their concerns,
• identify an offending belief or construct, and then
• deny the existence of this belief in the realm of God.

This was a six-stage process developed by Hopkins culminating in the affirmation of the patient as the perfect creation of the living God - spiritual, harmonious, free, fearless.

Now don't you know you have no enemies excepting as you make them by considering them as such?

Self reliance, or lack of it, is the difference between an employer and an employee.

Prosperity Through Thought-Force
by Bruce MacLelland
[1907]




Later in life it became possible for me to closely observe some of the master minds in the world of business, and to the qualities peculiar to each there seemed to be added an inherent force, a something one could feel distinctly upon coming into contact with them. They were able to think of thousands as others thought of hundreds, and obtained them as easily. They were broad, strong, hopeful individuals, who bent their energies to accomplish vast undertakings, the very thought of which would frighten an ordinary man. It was also noted that the wisest men, wisdom is induced by peace or calmness and that wisdom without force is of small value.

John G. Saxe wrote : " Fools will be fools as certain as fate, Men of wisdom, make them your tools; That, only that, is the use of fools."

If you master yourself first, hold yourself absolutely obedient to your desire for peace, you can control anyone, savage or civilized. The passengers on a through train from Chicago to New York were disturbed by the constant crying of a little babe in its mother's arms. She walked along the aisle of the car, tossed the babe up and down, laid it face downward on her lap, and her nerves were evidently at a tension. At last a gentleman asked her to permit him to try to quiet the child, and, in a few minutes, it was peacefully sleeping, and he did nothing but hold it in his arms. Evidently knowing the effects of the mental condition of the mother upon the baby, he would not allow her to take the child until both obtained a restful sleep. Poor baby! Poor mother! What a difference inherited or cultivated calmness in the mother would have made in the lives of both. Had, she been quiet in mind, which means that thoughts pass through one at a time, deliberately and not in droves (each crowding and jostling the other and more pushing from behind), the child would have been stronger, more courageous and healthful, and bright smiles of happy contentment would have shown in the baby face instead of the constant nervous crying.

Now, briefly, to summarize: Build yourself into a calm, determined, courageous, forceful man by the aid of autosuggestion, and the attractive force of your mentality will bring success to you. You need not seek it. It will seek you. Use the methods given for any quality desired, eloquence, wisdom, health, anything you will get results. Faith is a dead letter unless accompanied with active, progressive thoughts and actions.

Love others and others will love you, and your ability to love will grow, constantly adding strength to your mind. Anyone can bring the hate or love of the entire world on himself, as he chooses, by building up the quality in his own mind. As now constituted, the minds of most people desire to love their friends and hate their enemies. Now don't you know you have no enemies excepting as you make them by considering them as such? You send them hating thought, they return it; this establishes a connection between you, constantly taking your strength to keep up the war. You cannot afford to do this; it is destroying your money making power. Just reverse your plan and imagine him in mind as a friend; think of him as such; feel friendly towards him. That is strength.

"The truth, once announced,
has the power not only to renew but to extend itself.
New Thought is universal in its ideals
and therefore should be universal in its appeal
Under the guidance of the spirit,
it should grow in good works
until it embraces many lands
and eventually the whole world."
--Mr. James A. Edgerton on New Thought Day, August 23, 1915

... the mark of a true gentleman was his skill in baking a perfect pie.

Born in Sag Harbor, Long Island, Prentice Mulford (1834-1891) sailed to San Francisco on a clipper in 1856 and remained for sixteen years. He left for a long tour of Europe in 1872 and then settled in New York City where he became known as a comic lecturer and author of poems and essays and a columnist for the New York Daily Graphic (a serial), 1875-1881.
Life by land and sea (1889) contains Mulford's adventures at sea and in the West, 1856-1872: life on a clipper and a California coastal schooner hunting whales and seals, gold prospecting in Tuolumne County, accounts of camp life and experiences as a school teacher and minor local politican, copper mining in Stanislaus County, and career as journalist for the San Francisco Golden Era.

One of our prominent officials, giving evidence in a suit relative to the disputed possession of a mining claim in a remote district, when asked what, in the absence of a house or shaft, he would consider to be indications of the former presence of miners, answered: "Empty oyster cans and empty bottles."

Although sometimes absent, social skills were certainly prized in Early California, but the mark of a true gentleman was his skill in baking a perfect pie.

The early pie-makers of our State were men who as soon as possible slept in sheets instead of blankets, who were skilled in washing linen, who went in clean attire on Sundays, and who subscribed for magazines and newspapers.. On remote bars and gulches such men have kept households of incredible neatness, their cabins sheltered under the evergreen oak, with clear rivulets from the mountain gorges running past the door, with clothes-lines precisely hung with shirts and sheets, with gauze covered meat safe hoisted high in the branches of the overshadowing trees, protecting those pies from intruding and omnivorous ground squirrels and inquisitive yellow-jackets; while about their door-way the hard, clean-swept red earth resembled a well-worn brick pavement. There is morality in pies.

Themes he loved appeal to the thoughtful seeker –

Love is Life; Sympathy is Force; Our Thoughts Are Forces; Thoughts Are Things; Thought Is an Element; Strength is Born in Rest; Truths Prove Themselves; New Thoughts Bring Life Power and Talent; Grow in Repose;Truths Bring Health; Lies Breed Disease

The core of his creed is embodied in his essay “The Church of Silent Demand”.

The Church of Silent Demand To Supreme Power
Demand first Wisdom, so as to know what to ask for.
‘Ask and ye shall receive.’ Ask imperiously, but ask in a willing mood for what the Supreme Power sees best for you.
‘Love thy neighbour as thyself,’ but demand good first for yourself that you may be the better fitted to do good to all.
“Prentice Mulford, The New Gospeler”, National Magazine, 1905

“The Infinite is with us in all creeds and nations, and to call on the Infinite for more power, patience, courage and cheerfulness is to get it.”

Tuesday Afternoon

Tuesday afternoon,
I'm just beginning to see, now I'm on my way
It doesn't matter to me, chasing the clouds away.

Something, calls to me,
The trees are drawing me near, I've got to find out why?
Those gentle voices I hear, explain it all with a sigh.

I'm looking at myself reflections of my mind,
It's just the kind of day to leave myself behind.
So gently swaying through the fairyland of love,
If you'll just come with me you'll see the beauty of

Tuesday afternoon, Tuesday afternoon.

Tuesday, afternoon,
I'm just beginning to see, now I'm on my way.
It doesn't matter to me, chasing the clouds away.
Something, calls to me,
The trees are drawing me near, I've got to find out why?
Those gentle voices I hear, explain it all with a sigh.

Moody Blues

Let us be loving, hopeful and optimistic. And we’ll change the world.

My friends, love is better than anger.

Hope is better than fear.

Optimism is better than despair.

So let us be loving, hopeful and optimistic.

And we’ll change the world.



Jack Layton, PC, MP (July 18, 1950 – August 22, 2011)

"And the truth shall bear witness of itself."

And one day the eyes of your spirit shall open, and you shall know all things.

For the Son of Man is not all that he seems, and only with the eyes of the spirit can we see those golden threads which link us with all life everywhere.
The truth is born out of the spring of Light, falsehood from the well of darkness.
The Essene Gospel of Peace

To all those who perceive that peace for the whole depends upon the effort of the individual.

What Is This Presence?

When Kenneth Mills was asked why he chose the title Surprises for his first formal publication of poems, he simply said, "Well, it has always been a surprise to me that I could ever give a poem!" Kenneth Mills did not write poetry at all.
He spoke it, and what's more, he spoke it spontaneously.

An excerpt from a documentary film by Barbara Willis Sweete

Learn to speak the Word again

Dr. Mills speaking about his experience

"As above, so below."?

"That which is Below corresponds to that which is Above,
and that which is Above corresponds to that which is Below,
to accomplish the miracle of the One Thing".

O son, how many bodies we have to pass through,
how many bands of demons,
through how many series of repetitions and cycles of the stars,
before we hasten to the One alone?
Hermes Trismegistus

The alleged teacher the magical system known as Hermetism of which high magic and alchemy are thought to be twin branches. The name Trismegistus means thrice greatest Hermes, and is the title given by the Greeks to the Egyptian god Thoth or Tehuti, a lord of wisdom and learning. At one time the Greeks thought two gods inseparable. Thoth governed over mystical wisdom, magic, writing and other disciplines and was associated with healing, while Hermes was the personification of universal wisdom and the patron of magic.

The myths go further. Both gods are associated with sacred writings.

According to legend Hermes Trismegistus is said to have provided the wisdom of light in the ancient mysteries of Egypt. "He carried an emerald, upon which was recorded all of philosophy, and the caduceus, the symbol of mystical illumination.




Hermeticism or the Western Hermetic Tradition is a set of philosophical and religious beliefs or gnosis based primarily upon the Hellenistic Egyptian pseudepigraphical writings attributed to Hermes Trismegistus who is the representation of the conflation of the Egyptian god Thoth with the Greek Hermes. These beliefs have heavily influenced the Western Esoteric Tradition and were considered to be of great importance during the Renaissance and Reformation.

Most of the writings were lost with the fire and destruction of the Ancient Library of Alexandria[1]

Yet, there are three major works which are widely believed texts for Hermetic beliefs:

• The Corpus Hermeticum is the body of work most widely known and is the aforementioned Greek texts. These eighteen books are set up as dialogues between Hermes and a series of others. The first book involves a discussion between Poimandres (also known as Nous and God) and Hermes, supposedly resulting from a meditative state, and is the first time that Hermes is in contact with God. Poimandres teaches the secrets of the Universe to Hermes, and later books are generally of Hermes teaching others such as Asclepius and his son Tat.

• The Emerald Tablet of Hermes Trismegistus is a short work which coins the well known term in occult circles "As above, so below." The actual correct text of that maxim, as translated by Dennis W. Hauck is

"That which is Below corresponds to that which is Above, and that which is Above corresponds to that which is Below, to accomplish the miracle of the One Thing"

. The tablet also refers to the three parts of the wisdom of the whole universe. Hermes claims his knowledge of these three parts is why he received the name Trismegistus (thrice-great, or Ao-Ao-Ao meaning "greatest"). As the story is told, this tablet was found by Alexander the Great at Hebron supposedly in the tomb of Hermes.

• The Kybalion: Hermetic Philosophy is a book published in 1912 CE anonymously by three people calling themselves the "Three Initiates." Many of the Hermetic principles are explained in the book.
The "Three Initiates" who authored The Kybalion chose to remain anonymous. William Walker Atkinson is popularly held to be one (if not all) of the Three Initiates who anonymously authored The Kybalion, which certainly resembles Atkinson's other writings in style and subject matter. Atkinson's two co-authors in the latter venture, if they even existed, are unknown, but speculation often includes names like Mabel Collins, Michael Whitty, Paul Foster Case, and Harriett Case.

[1] The Royal Library of Alexandria, or Ancient Library of Alexandria, in Alexandria, Egypt, was the largest and most significant great library of the ancient world. It flourished under the patronage of the Ptolemaic dynasty and functioned as a major center of scholarship from its construction in the 3rd century BC until the Roman conquest of Egypt in 30 BC.



Ancient and modern sources identify four possible occasions for the partial or complete destruction of the Library of Alexandria:

• Julius Caesar's fire in the Alexandrian War, in 48 BC;
  
• the attack of Aurelian in the 3rd century AD;
  
• the decree of Coptic Pope Theophilus in AD 391; and
  
• the Muslim conquest in 642 AD or thereafter.

Unfoldment: an impromptu performance under the impelling of divine ideas.

Kenneth George Mills (1923–2004) was a Canadian metaphysical/philosophical speaker and author. An exponent of the oral tradition, he gave spontaneous lectures and poetry for over 37 years. At the same time, he became noted for his accomplishments in music, particularly as the conductor of the choral ensemble The Star-Scape Singers. He excelled at composing, painting and design and has been described by some as a New Age man, a man for all seasons, and a Renaissance man.

Mills was born in St. Stephen, New Brunswick in January 1923. He attended Mount Allison University in Sackville, New Brunswick. Trained from the age of 7 in music, he became a concert pianist, with debuts in Toronto in 1952 and New York City in 1961. Though he chose to end his career as a concert pianist in 1963, he concentrated on teaching piano and adjudicating young musicians for another ten years.

Mathew 27:46 Mark 15:34 and the Peshitta

And about the ninth hour, Jesus cried out with a loud voice and said, Eli, Eli, lemana shabackthani! My God, my God, for this I was spared![1]
Mathew 27:46 [1] This was my destiny!

And at the ninth hour, Jesus cried out with a loud voice and said, Eli, Eli, lemana shabackthani![2] which means, My God, my God, for this I was spared! Mark 15:34 [2] “which means” used by Mark to explain translation from one Aramic Dialect to another.

From George M Lamsa’s Translation from the Aramic of the Peshitta.

George Lamas translated a version of the Holy Bible from the Ancient Eastern Text. The Aramaic (the language of J) scriptures - called the Peshitta - remained virtually unchanged from the time the bible was assembled. As opposed to the western version from which the King James version was extracted.


For example Mathew 19:24 (King James):

And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the the kingdom of God.

The Peshitta reads :

Again I say unto you, It is easier for a rope to go through the eye of the needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.

Errors are attributed to mistranslations and the fact the western version went from Arabic to Greek to English and was subject to tinkering.

The Lord's Prayer
Our father in heaven, hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven so on earth.
Give us bread for our needs from day to day.
And forgive us our offences, as we have forgiven or offenders.
And do not let us enter into temptation, but deliver us from evil. (means wrong, wickedness, error)
For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory for ever and ever. Amen
Mathew 6:9-13

Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven so on earth.
Give us bread for our needs every day.
And forgive us our sins, for we have also forgiven all those have offended us. And do not let us enter into temptation; but deliver us from error. (anything contrary to the truth; evil)
Luke 11:2-4

Peshitta New Testament in Aramaic/English Interlinear format

The Peshitta is the standard version of the Bible for churches in the Syriac tradition.

The Old Testament of the Peshitta was translated into Syriac from the Hebrew, probably in the 2nd century AD. The New Testament of the Peshitta, which originally excluded certain disputed books (2 Peter, 2 John, 3 John, Jude, Revelation), had become the standard by the early 5th century.

As man imagines, he lives!

Imagine the best, for everything is yours for the taking.

On this level you can start from here, right now, and fulfill any dream. May I tell you: you are going to live the life that you are imagining, so imagine well! Imagine the most glorious thing in the world and - no matter how wonderful it is - may I tell you it is nothing compared to the being that you really are. Nothing in this world can come close to the being you really are.
Neville Lecture #08/1967

You can be anything you want to be, for you are going to be what you are imagining.

Start examining yourself.
Do you believe that imagining creates reality?
If you do then test yourself.
Ask yourself:

"If I now believe that I am He that the world worships as the Lord, and all things are possible to me, then I must test myself and according to my faith in myself will it be done unto me."

It is up to the individual to perform the action, for the evidence always follows the action.
Act as though things are as you would like them to be.
Persuade yourself that it is true and let the results follow.
This is how you are called upon to operate in this world. It is not written in detail, but only sketches that you fill in with your life. Neville Lecture #04

All existence is interpretation. As living human beings we are interpreters of our own nature through experience of its possibilities. Confronted by its depths, we are attracted to its heights through the drawing power of our ideals, a power that impels us upward, however strong the gravity of our sensuous nature, What is natural is succeeded by what is possible.

From METAPHYSICS OF BALZAC
BY
URSULA N. GESTEFELD [1898]

Ursula N. Gestefeld (1845 - 1921) was a greatly talented healer and teacher. In 1888, Gestefeld published a book under the title, "Ursula N. Gestefeld's Statement of Christian Science," and although she gave full credit to MEB as its founder, she incurred MEB’s wrath who practically cut her off from the movement. Gestefeld , like a great number of New Thoughters, looked elsewhere and studied Honoré de Balzac to rationalize her experience.

God is light and in him there is no darkness at all.

When God awakens within you (and he will) you too will know you are He who is the light of the world, and if God is light then you must be God! After this revelation happens in you, every claim made in scripture concerning God will begin to unfold from within, just like a tree in blossom. You will know that God is love, for you will stand in the presence of infinite love, embrace and become one with that body.

On this level it is always the same story, but when God awakens in you, you know who you are; and when the world calls you asleep, you are beyond the world of dream, having entered the world of Spirit waking; and from your fiery being you shoot your darts into the mind of those that you want to stir, to accept your message of salvation.

One day, having played the central part, you too will close your eyes and leave this world. Having shot your arrows well, those who heard and believed you will awaken. They may forget you in time - that doesn't really matter, for the eternal story is recorded in the gospel. Your name may not be recorded there but it is recorded in eternity, for your true identity is God Himself!

Awakening to the realization.

When man completely awakens,
he dreams his pleasure, and
everything responds while he dreams it.

In 1921, at the age of seventeen Neville left home in the Barbados for the mainland, arriving in New York, to seek his fortune.

He found a job as an elevator operator for J.C. Penney Company for a while until one day he was told that his services were no longer needed. Neville secured a job on Macy's shipping dock but this position was short lived as too.

He finally said to himself, "

From this day forward I will not work for another. I will only work for myself.

" And that is what he did.

Believing that if others could dance on the stage, he could too, Neville joined an established dancer and began his professional career. It was during this time he married. This union produced a son.

In 1925 Neville and his dancing partner sailed for England and traveled widely in that country. While there he was introduced to the world of psychical research which interested him greatly. Shortly after his return to America in 1926, his interest in mysticism increased as his interest in the theatre decreased. And when the depression hit in 1929 and the theatres closed, so did Neville's professional life as a dancer.

During this time Neville became interested in the Rosicrucian Society and met a man who was to influence his life.

A man, who while he was studying for the priesthood, his father, a wealthy businessman had died and left an estate of thousands of dollars to his son. Quickly changing his mind about the priesthood, the young man proceeded to spend the money as fast as he could.

Having no respect for such a man, Neville found excuses when asked to attend a class of this young man. But one day Neville ran out of excuses and attended the class of an eccentric Ethiopian rabbi named Abdullah. At the end of the class Abdullah came over and, taking Neville's hand said,

Where have you been? You are three months late!

Taken aback Neville asked,

How did you know I was coming?

to which Abdullah replied,

The brothers told me.

With Abdullah, Neville studied the Kabala, a Jewish form of mysticism, and obtained illuminating insights into the books of the Bible. He developed a new approach to the problem of man and his relationship with the pulsating world of spirit around him. It was Abdullah who taught Neville how to use the law of consciousness and how to see the Bible psychologically. And as Neville began to see the world as a picture world, projected from within, his faith in himself grew.

When you imagine for a seeming other you are blessed,
for there is no other and
you are giving your imaginal gift to yourself!

In February of 1930 Neville began lecturing in New York City. First meeting in a small room of a public building where only a handful of people attended, as his speaking ability grew and he gained confidence in his message, so did his audience.

His first marriage was short lived and he remained a bachelor for several years.
One day a young sat in his audience. As she listened, she said to herself, "

This is the man I am going to marry.

" And when they shook hands at the end of the lecture, Neville held her hand and said to himself, "

This is the woman I am going to marry

," and they did. And from this union a daughter was born.

When the war was over, Neville began to travel, again holding lectures in various large cities as far west as San Francisco. He moved his family to Los Angeles in the 50’s and also had his own television program in that period.

Neville taught the law of consciousness in Los Angeles at the Fox Wilshire Theater on Sunday mornings to crowds so large the people were standing outside just to hear his words. He also spent several weeks each year in San Francisco.

It was in San Francisco, on July 20, 1959 that Neville awoke to find himself sealed in a tomb. Removing a stone placed there, he came out of his skull just like a child comes out of its mother's womb.
Having awakened from the dream of life, Neville's outlook on the world changed.
He devoted the rest of his life telling those who would listen that they were not the little mask they wore,
but a being far greater than they could ever conceive themselves to be.

Nothing in the world is untrue if you want it to be true. You are the truth of everything that you perceive.

Everyone is free to create his world as he wants it - if he knows that the whole thing is responding to him.

The whole vast world is no more than man's imagining pushed out.

The Promise

"You do not earn it; it is a gift, it is all grace. God's promise is unconditional; God's law is conditional." and comes in its own good time. If you do not experience it in this life, he said, "You pass through a door, that's all that death is, and -- you are restored to life instantly in a world like this, just this world" [and] you go on there with the same problems you had here with no loss of identity – not old, not blind, not crippled, if you depart this life that way, but young." In this restorationist afterlife, he said of people there, "They grow, and they marry, and they die there, too, with all the fear of death that we have here. And if they die there without experiencing The Promise, they are restored to life again and again in a place best suited to the work yet to be done in them. And it continues until 'Christ be formed in You' and as 'Sons of The Resurrection' you leave this world of death never to enter it again."

This is your destiny, yours to experience when your memory is restored.
It is he who speaks to you from within, and when he appears you will know him for you will be just like him. And as he rises in you all impossibilities will dissolve as you will realize that everything is coming into your world from within.

Listen to these words carefully and you will see that the Father never left you: "I came out from the Father." And where is the Father? In heaven. And where is heaven? Within! So I came out from within. The words "within" and "above" as well as "without" and "below" are the same in scripture. Coming out from within I see a world and "others" who have power over me. Now I want to leave the world and go to the Father. How is that done? By returning within, and since there is only one within where can I go that I can come again to be seen coming from without?

When you return to the source, the cause of all life, you will know that you and I are one. You will know it because there is only one Father and one Son. And when my Son calls you Father, memory will be yours and you will know the truth of what I say now, that I am in my Father and my Father is in me and I am in you and you are in me, for we are One.

Now let us go into the silence.

Neville - 1968

"Learn how to use your imaginal power,
lovingly, on behalf of others,
for Man is moving into a world where everything is subject to his imaginal power."

You have got to have a great persistence with yourself. You have to set yourself on the path again and so get along with yourself better. And let yourself have a chance. Never condemn yourself. We have the power to forgive ourselves. So set yourself right and then you will find you are sailing along smoothly and you are almost there and, flop, down you go. And again you have got to do it. It doesn't matter how much patience it takes; it is the only thing that will win out: perseverance and patience with yourself until you can see that each succeeding month your consciousness is learning.
