At the center of the known Cosmos, which encompasses the Great dark Void, is the Infinite Spirit, the Absolute or Prime Source of all Creation. The Infinite Spirit does not directly involve Itself in the process of Creation, but sends out elements of Itself as Spiritual Creators to undertake this task. The great Cosmic Plan of the Infinite Spirit/Absolute appears to be the creation within the Cosmos of a series of vast Grand Universes of inhabited worlds with Beings endowed with elements of Its own nature. All Spirits/Souls newly created by the Spiritual Creators are to undertake an evolutionary path of learning, eventually achieving a final state of full Spiritual Awareness, strictly following the Absolute's great evolutionary Rule and foremost Cosmic Principle of Love and Cooperation.
The Absolute's Code of Love and Cooperation which we Evolving Souls eventually learn to embrace through our process of evolution, is one of "Love and Service to Others". This requires that every developing Soul should always attempt to express "Unconditional Love" to others and give a helping hand to their lesser endowed brethren to help lift them up to their own evolutionary level. Following this Divine Rule would enable all to jointly achieve a yet greater and more wonderful shared Creation. Failure to observe this rule results in aggression and ultimately in self destruction.
This process of evolutionary learning takes place within a successive series of Grand Universes in which evolving souls are given a limited "Free Will" by the Absolute in order to follow their own experiences of trial and error. Observance of this process at the same time adds to the Absolute's own expanding experience. On successful completion of their evolutionary path Evolving Souls will ultimately participate in elaborating and enlarging the Cosmos into a constantly grander and more beautiful series of Creations out in the Great Void. Evolutionary souls are thus co-creators in the making.
Our own Grand Universe is the latest creation in a series of six Grand Universes already created within the surrounding Great Void of the Cosmos. It is by now a vast area comprising over seven trillion inhabited worlds. The first physical creation to be undertaken under the direction of the Absolute's designated Creators of physical Matter and Energy streams brought over from a previous Creation, was the Central Core of the new Grand Universe known as the "Isle of Paradise". This area is designated as the residence of the ruling Holy Trinity of the Father, Eternal Son and Holy Infinite Spirit/Mother. These are highly evolved Beings who attained the highest degree of perfection in the previous Grand Universe and who volunteered to take on the great honour and responsibility of overseeing and maintaining this latest Grand Universe. The Isle of Paradise is also the residence of a select group of the other most perfected Beings who volunteered to come over from the previous Grand Creation.
The next physical area to be created surrounding the Isle of Paradise Central Core was a billion inhabited spheres to form the Central Universe, named Havona. The inhabitants of Havona are also made up of the many other volunteer perfected Beings who have come over from the previous Grand Universe. Later on in time, the Central Universe of Havona was itself to be surrounded by a further Seven "Superuniverses", created in sequence over billions of years. These Seven Superuniverse are populated by a mixture of some of the perfected Havona and Paradise citizens and also a growing number of newly created evolving Ascendant Mortal Souls coming up from the lower "Worlds of Time and Space". The newly created "Ascendant Beings" are following a long evolutionary journey upwards, starting out from the animal level, with the aim of eventually arriving on the perfected worlds of the Central Universe of Havona, and possibly on to the ultimate perfection of the Isle of Paradise, the Seat of the ruling Holy Trinity.
The ruling Trinity Father of our Grand Universe has undertaken the prime function of endowing every newly created and evolving "Ascendant Being" from the lower worlds with an element of His own "Personality", and thus indirectly, also with the Absolute's Spirit and Nature. Newly created Ascendant Souls, when they reach a suitable level, are thus given an internal spiritual guidance through an endowment of a "Thought Adjuster" bearing an element of the Father's own Spirit/Personality. This indwelling "Higher Self" or Thought Adjuster is a fully trained Spiritual Being who overshadows the Ascendant Being with an internal guidance expressing the Trinity Father's inherent nature and will.
The second Member of the Holy Trinity, The Trinity Eternal Son, has been given the task of actually sponsoring the creation of all new Ascendant Souls. Then there is the Third Member of the Holy Trinity, the Infinite Spirit/Holy Mother. The Infinite Spirit, acting as a direct Agent of the Absolute, alone has been given the ability to endow new Souls with Mind and Spirit. Mind function allows the newly Ascendant Being to make intellectual choices and decisions in its evolution and the endowment of Spirit leads to developing Spiritual qualities within the Ascendant Being which reflect the nature of the Absolute/Infinite Spirit. Another important role assigned to the Infinite Spirit/Holy Mother, is the sole mandate of creating a separate body of Beings known as the "Angelic Kingdom", who function as the faithful and reliable "Servants of Creation". Thus they also are under the ultimate control of the Absolute. The members of the Angelic Kingdom, the Archangels and Seraphim and all their associate lower orders are the largely silent and invisible workers assisting in the background administration of the Grand Universe. They also provide supporting roles to Ascendant Mortals, such as being their invisible Guides and Guardians.
The first creation of material matter in our newly established Grand Universe was the central Isle of Paradise. Unlike all the later created spheres, the central-core Isle of Paradise was not itself created in a spherical form, but as a vast and essentially flat body of an ellipsoid shape, one-sixth longer in the North-South to the East-West diameter. The height of the upper surface to the underside is one tenth of the East-West diameter. The underside of the Paradise Isle functions as the focal point for all the outgoing Cosmic gravity/power originating from out in the Great Void and thus the Infinite Spirit/Absolute. This force derived from the Absolute radiates out as the sole source of energy and gravity force throughout the surrounding Grand Universe. It first passes through the surrounding Central Universe of Havona and then on out to the vast orbiting Seven "Superuniverses" and their "Local Universes" situated within them. This outgoing and returning gravity/energy functions as the Grand Universe's cohesive and centralizing force, attracting all the surrounding orbiting spheres in a permanent and binding physical relationship to the Central Isle of Paradise.
The Isle of Paradise in its inhabitants and beauty of verdant surroundings embraces all the previously defined patterns of perfection in the previous Grand Universe. It is thus the much sought-after final goal of destiny for all of the Grand Universe's evolving "Ascendant Being" coming up from the lower evolutionary Worlds of Time and Space.
The core Isle of Paradise, home of the Ruling Trinity Father, Son and Infinite Spirit Mother, and the surrounding Central Universe of Havona with its surrounding billion inhabited spheres is populated by those Beings already perfected by our new Grand Universe standards. They chose to come to this new area of creation as a means of further perfecting their existing levels of evolution, mainly through learning from the experiences and travails of all the newly created Ascendant Souls rising up to the Central Universes. They have found through undertaking a role as "Descendant Souls" down to the lower Worlds of Time and Space as teachers and example givers, they would be able to also gain even more experience and learn even deeper lessons. However, the "Descendant Beings" of Havona and Paradise do often have to face a particularly difficult task on these lower worlds. They often find they are in a great risk of being dragged down by these worlds by their many physical temptations, or through making bad choices and errors. As a consequence they often have to undertake enormous efforts in climbing back up to the level of their original worlds of perfection.
These Descending "Old Souls" also give issue to their own offspring, many of whom usually choose themselves to embark on a downward journey to the lower worlds of matter in order to make up for their lack of evolutionary experience. Although these younger Souls incorporate an element of their elders' perfection, they lack the soul strengthening experience of life on these lower worlds However, these younger offspring Souls are even more prone to be dragged under and can often find themselves trapped in a series of re-incarnations back into the lower physical worlds over and over again in order to correct the inherent weaknesses within their souls.
One can quickly determine whether a person before one is a "Descendant Being" or an "Ascendant Being". "Descendant Beings" from the Central Universes are recognisable by belonging to the Blue-eyed Races (their colour of eyes, the "Windows of the Soul", range upwards from: dark-blue / blue-grey and light-blue / grey-green to a very light grey), whereas the Brown-eyed Races belong to the evolving "Ascendant Beings" who have started out their Human evolution from at least the animal level (their eye-colour ranges upwards from: black / dark-brown / red-brown and yellow-brown / brown-green to light yellow-green).
Ascendant Beings are greatly assisted in their evolutionary progress upwards, having reached a certain developmental level, by being endowed with an overseeing "Thought Adjuster" or "Higher Self", a high Spiritual Being to act as an "Inner Voice" and personal "Guide". This is effected through an overshadowing Spiritual Being attaching themselves to the Ascending Mortal, one who has had special training on an inner world of Havona on all the aspects of the Trinity Father's own Personality, thinking and Will. Ascending Mortals are also given the protective guardianship of a "Guardian Angel" from the Angelic Kingdom, who also silently attempts to prompt his assigned Mortal from making serious mistakes or to avoid dangerous situations. The Ascending Mortal's "Higher Self" and "Guardian Angel" are assigned to them throughout most of his or her long upwards journey of evolutionary training until they reach the ultimate destination of Havona and the Isle of Paradise.
In addition to the provision of Inner Spiritual Guides, Ascending Mortals will also be given evolutionary training, having already experienced several incarnations on a lower physical world, on the ascending series of "Morontial" worlds - special worlds dedicated to the training of Ascendant Beings. When completed, they may then progress on up to the "Local System Headquarters" and later to the "Constellation Headquarters" Spheres within their Local Universe. Once they graduate as a fully "Spiritualised Being", then the next step is up to the Central Worlds of their Superuniverse in which the Local Universe is situated. Once they have reached the status of a "Perfected Spiritual Being", they can then move onwards to the Central Universe of Havona, and after working through from the outer Spheres to the inner ones, the may eventually qualify for the ultimate journey, to the Isle of Paradise. There they can join one of the "Finaliter Corps" to be ready for further progression and service, either back down to one of the lower Worlds of Time and Space, or at some future time, to a yet to be created new Grand Universe. The Finaliters Corps are also often joined by the existing Residents of Paradise, who gladly welcome the experience of learning from this influx of Ascendant Beings who have risen up on the long journey from the lower worlds. The members of the Finaliters Corps are all to be participants in the Absolute's continuing "Grand Plan" of creating yet more and more perfected Grand Universes out in the Great Void, forever advancing forwards on all the evolutionary progress so far made.
The totality of our Grand Universe is made up of the subsequently developed Seven Superuniverses which orbit around the Central Universe of Havona and the Paradise Isle. They orbit, one behind the other, on the same plane in a great ellipsoid anticlockwise motion around the Central Universe. The last and Seventh Superuniverse to be created is named Orvonton and is made up of a trillion inhabited worlds. This is the Superuniverse in which Planet Earth (originally known as Urantia) is situated. Orvonton has its Administrative Capital on a great "Architectural Sphere" (an artificially constructed hollow sphere) called Uversa, part of a large Sun cluster which functions as the physical and astronomical center of the Seventh Superuniverse. The Superuniverse of Orvonton, led by its Supreme Ruler, Lord Surea, is itself administratively divided up into ten Major Sectors, each encompassing a hundred billion inhabited Worlds. Within each of these Major Sectors there are a further one hundred Minor Sectors, each composed of a billion worlds.
Each Minor Superuniverse Sector of the Superuniverse is then made up of a hundred "Local Universes". A Local Universe is itself a vast area of up to ten million inhabited worlds. administratively divided up into Constellation and Local System Sectors.
Our own "Local Universe" is named Nebadon, and it has its Administrative Headquarters on a large central artificial sphere called "Salvington". Nebadon's Headquarters World of Salvington is itself situated over two hundred and fifty thousand light-years away from the Headquarters World of Uversa, at the center of the Superuniverse of Orvonton, away in the dense diameter of the Milky Way. Our Universe of Nebadon is relatively young and not yet fully developed, and so it has a total of only 3,840,101 inhabited Planets out of a potential ten million. Nebadon is itself also administratively divided up into a hundred "Constellations", each of about one hundred thousand inhabited Worlds. A Constellation is further divided up administratively into a hundred "Local Systems", each System itself containing about a thousand inhabited Planets.
Our own Planet Urantia/Earth within our Local Universe of Nebadon, is situated in Nebadon's Constellation of Norlatiadek. Norlatiadek also has as its Administrative Headquarters a large and central artificial sphere, named Edentia, of vast and beautiful gardens and green surroundings, from which our Earth's "Garden of Eden" originally derived its name. The Constellation of Norlatiadek is then further divided up administratively into one hundred "Local Systems". Earth's own Local System is named Satania, and is made up of 619 inhabited Worlds. Satania's Administrative Center is on another large Architectural Sphere, a hundred times the size of our own Planet, named "Jerusem", and from which we derive the name "Jerusalem". Satania is therefore our local Administrative Sector for Planet Earth.
Within this "Local System" of Satania is our small and relatively young (over two billion years old!) Planet Earth, originally known as Urantia, situated near the outer edge of the Local Universe of Nebadon. The whole Local Universe of Nebadon is itself situated not far from the end of a spiral arm of the Milky Way Galaxy, near to the outer edge of the Orvonton Superuniverse and thus close to the surrounding Great Void of the total Cosmos.
Within our Grand Universe there are over 700,000 Local Universes, also with that same number of Creator Sons as their Rulers. Each of these "Paradise Sons" is given the right by the Trinity Father, when they feel they are fully prepared after a long period of training, to finally create and run their own Local Universe. A "Creator Son", also known as a "Paradise Son", is a first line direct offspring of the Trinity Father, whereas the second line of Paradise Sons, known as an "Avonal/Majesterial Son", is an offspring of the Trinity Eternal Son.
Our own Local Universe of Nebadon has as its Sovereign Ruler a Creator Son by the name of Michael of Nebadon. He is better known to us as Christ Michael, through his having had his Seventh and final "Bestowal" incarnation on one of his lowliest inhabited Planets, Urantia/Earth. He embarked on this final Bestowal incarnation in a joint incarnation with Jesus (Esu/Immanuel/Sananda) of Palestine two thousand years ago, whom he overshadowed during the incarnation. This exercise was so that he could finally earn the right to be recognized by his Trinity Father as a fully entitled "Sovereign of Nebadon" after serving a probationary period as a Regent on behalf of his Trinity Father. This final right is only bestowed on a Creator Son by the Trinity Father after he has undertaken seven incarnations on the lower worlds of descending order in his Local Universe. This will then qualify him as a fully entitled Sovereign to make all his own decisions for his Local Universe without consulting the Paradise Father. He has earned this position through having fully experienced all of the variety of life on descending levels of worlds within his Local Universe.
When the Trinity Father first authorizes the physical creation of a new Local Universe for one of his Creator Sons, he enjoins the Paradise Master Force Organizers, Cosmic physical creation Agents of the Absolute, to manipulate energy-matter to a certain stage of physical solidity. Once the Central Administrative Sphere is physically created, the chosen Paradise Creator Son appears upon the scene, always accompanied by his Creative Partner/Consort, a Daughter of the Trinity Infinite Spirit and thus also representing the Absolute Prime Creator.
Thus from the energies of space originating from the Absolute, organized into habitable spheres of physical matter, Creator Son Michael of Nebadon, with the co-participation of his Infinite Spirit Consort/Partner, named Nebadonia, was allowed to create a diverse line of evolving Ascendant Beings derived from the lowest animal soul levels. His Consort/Partner, Nebadonia, functioning within Nebadon as its resident Holy Mother/Infinite Spirit, has been given the sole ability accorded by the Absolute to endow the vital "Spark of Life" and the vital Mind function to newly created Ascendant Beings. The first Being they were to create was the "Bright and Morning Star", Gabriel, to become the administrative Chief Executive of Nebadon and who also happens to be the Father of Immanuel/Jesus/Sananda of Palestine fame.
The first act of physical creation in the new Local Universe of Nebadon was the organization of the Headquarters World, a vast artificially constructed "architectural sphere" named "Salvington", along with its surrounding satellite spheres. From the time of the initial physical creation by the Physical Power Controllers to the arrival of the living Staff on the completed spheres of Salvington there intervened a little over one billion years of present Earth time. The construction of Salvington was immediately followed by the creation of the one hundred Headquarters of the projected Constellations and then the further hundred Headquarters Spheres of the "Local Systems" within the Constellation, each System having local control over up to a thousand inhabited planets.
The Local Universe of Nebadon is itself a relatively young cluster of starry and planetary realms within the Orvonton SuperUniverse. As a result, it has had its fair share of disruptions, including three Rebellions in Nebadon against the ruling Hierarchy, including the last one of 200 thousand years ago, the Lucifer Rebellion, in which 37 planets were placed under “quarantine” from that time on up to now. These disruptions came about largely due to the unfortunate arrival 1.3 billion years ago of an insidious force of evil which infected some of the outer portions of the Seventh SuperUniverse of Orvonton. This very powerful outside evil source of darkness came in from an earlier Grand Creation out in the Great Void which had become totally corrupt under its somewhat deranged Leader. The infiltrating Dark Forces had not only managed with their insidious wiles to corrupt some of the Highest Beings in the outer Local Universes, but created over this period some of their own Dark Worlds within the Galaxy and some further new Races under their dark domination. This led to many devastating Galactic Wars between the "Forces of Light" (the Galactic Federation of Light), and the "Forces of Darkness" (the Anchara Alliance). The essence of the insinuating evil influence which filtered into even some of the highest Beings within the Seventh SuperUniverse and some of its outer Local Universes is a pursuance of self-interest and self-magnification at the expense of the collective good, that is, not following the Absolute Creator's basic evolutionary rule of rising above one's own self-interest to assist others for the benefit of the whole.
The Paradise Trinity Father of our Grand Universe appears to have permitted this form of "darkness" run its course as a powerful evolutionary learning tool and as part of our endowment of “Free Will" to all Beings. Only now, at this final ending of a major Universal Age, has He at last pushed through a total cleansing of this outside-sourced darkness. [more about this in Chapter 10].
Chapter Two:
THE CREATION OF PLANET EARTH/URANTIA
Our own Planet Earth, or Urantia as it was originally known, began its existence two billion years ago. The process began with our Solar Sun being spun off from the Andronover Nebula over six billion years ago, along with one million other Suns at the time. Half a billion years later, our Sun was itself approached by the enormous Angona System with a "Dark Giant" at its center. This Dark Giant was a solid, highly charged sphere possessing a tremendous pull of gravity. A great column of our Sun's solar gases was through this powerful pull of gravity detached and separated out into forming the twelve Planets of our Solar System. By two and a half billion years ago, Urantia/Earth was already a well-developed sphere, about the tenth of its present mass, but growing rapidly by meteoric accretion.
The Earth started out as a veritable fiery inferno, rent with volcanic action. Eventually the atmosphere became more settled and cooled sufficiently to start precipitation of rain on the hot rocky surface of the Planet. For thousands of years Earth was enveloped in one vast and continuous blanket of steam. This was followed by the cooling of the Earth's crust sufficiently to cause the forming of the first ocean, which was eventually to cover the entire Planet to an average depth of five thousand feet. Later on, dense lava flows came out upon the bottom of the present Pacific Ocean and the first continental mass emerged from the ocean. This caused a compensatory adjustment to the equilibrium of the gradually thickening Earth's crust under the ocean derived from the constant bombardment and accretion of meteorites.
By nine hundred and fifty million years ago there had developed one great single continent of land with one large body of water, the Pacific Ocean. The first scouting party from the Local System of Satania arrived nine hundred million years ago and after an assessment announced that the "Life Carriers", experts in the development of all life forms, could now be granted permission to develop new patterns of mechanical, chemical and electrical mobilization as well as life transplantation from other worlds. Urantia/Earth, had been declared to be a one-in-ten "Decimal" experimental world, one of sixty-one other "life-modification" Planets within the Local System of Satania. Here the Life Carriers would be allowed to create some new experimental life forms and fauna as their sixtieth Satania experiment designed to amplify and improve Santania's type of Nebadon life patterns.
The rising continental land-mass of this era out of the ocean soon increased until it covered almost ten per cent of the Earth's surface. Severe earthquakes began only after the continental mass of land had emerged well above the water. Once the earthquakes began, they increased in frequency and severity for long ages. Eventually they were to gradually diminish over a period of millions of years, though even today Earth still has an average of about fifteen daily.
Seven hundred and fifty million years ago the first breaks in the continental land-mass began as a great North-and-South split, which later admitted the ocean waters and prepared the way for the Westward drift of the continents of North and South America, including Greenland. The long East-and-West cleavage separated Africa from Europe and severed the land masses of Australia, the Pacific continent that was to become Lemuria, and Antarctica, separating from the Asiatic continent. By seven hundred million years ago, Urantia/Earth was approaching a ripening of conditions suitable for the support of living life.
Five hundred million years ago the Life Carriers began planting primitive marine vegetable life, some of which was to metamorphose into animal life fifty million years later. They used a process of introducing existing forms of life from other developed worlds, and then modifying them either to suit this Planet's own conditions or as part of an ongoing experiment in developing new forms of life for one of this Local System's 61 "Decimal" experimental worlds.
By four hundred million years ago, marine life, both vegetable and animal was fairly well distributed over the whole world as the climate grew slightly warmer and became more equable. Fish were developed two hundred and fifty million years ago, some of the teeth-bearing varieties being twenty-five to thirty feet long, ancestors of the present-day sharks. Reptiles were introduced one hundred and forty million years ago in the form of crocodiles, scaled reptiles and eventually both sea-serpents and flying reptiles. Reptilian dinosaurs were soon developed and became the "Monarchs" of this Age. As egg-layers and were distinguished from the other animals by their small brains weighing less than one pound and which then had to control bodies weighing up to as much as forty tons.
The first mammals appeared in North America fifty million years ago. A small reptilian, egg-laying type of mammal was soon flourishing, and the ancestors of the later kangaroos began to roam Australia. Soon there were also small horses, fleet-footed rhinoceroses, tapirs with proboscises, primitive pigs, squirrels, lemurs, opossums, and several tribes of monkey-like animals. By thirty-five million years ago many of the more primitive mammals had become extinct, and the mammals of large size and small brain such as the dinosaur family were by then in decline. The land mammals slowly assumed domination of the Earth, completely destroying the remainder of their reptilian ancestors.
An Inhabited World
A momentous event occurred one million years ago, when Urantia/Earth was first registered by the Constellation Fathers as a world inhabited by reasoning Human Beings. A mutation within the stock of the progressing Primates, small lemur types who walked mostly on their hind legs and possessed large brains in proportion to their size, led to the development of primitive semi-animal tribes who lived in the treetops for safety at night. These were the ancestors of Earth's indigenous Mankind. This momentous event was sparked by a rapid development towards Human qualities by two members of a primitive tribe, a brother and sister, on the Mesopotamian or Persian peninsula at the beginning of the third Glacial Ice Age.
Andon and his sister Fonta were born to parents little different from the average of a tree-top animal tribe who had already begun to learn how to make sharp tools of stone, flint and bone, and to use clubs in fighting. This they indulged in frequently, almost wiping out the various other tribes with any likely Human developmental potential. This Brother and Sister was to exhibit a considerably higher level of intelligence, no doubt brought over in an incarnation from a more evolved extraterrestrial world. At a very early age they had not only learnt to communicate with each other verbally but had worked out an improved sign and word language of almost half a hundred ideas. However, hard as they tried, they were unable to teach more than a few of their new signs and symbols to their parents.
When of about nine years of age, they journeyed off down the river together one bright day and held a momentous conference between themselves. This noontime tryst was being observed through psychic facilities by every Celestial Intelligence stationed on Urantia, including the Senior Life Carrier. On this eventful day the brother and sister made a pact to live apart from their tribe and exclusively with and for each other. This was the first of a series of such agreements between them which finally culminated in their decision to flee five years later from their inferior animal associates, whom they feared might try to kill them through jealousy of their higher abilities. They journeyed North to a new area well away from their tribe, little knowing that they were about to found Earth's first indigenous truly Human Race.
Andon and Fonta had nineteen children in all, thus establishing the genes and attributes of the first true Human Race, the Andonites. They lived to have almost a hundred grandchildren and half a dozen grandchildren. The family was domiciled in four adjoining rock shelters, or semi-caves, three of which were interconnected by hallways which had been excavated in the soft limestone with flint tools devised by Andon's children.
As time passed, the Andonic Clans grew in number, always avoiding mixing with their inferior animal-like cousins, the Simian tribes, which later split off to develop into a non-Human line of apelike monkeys, baboons, chimpanzees and gorillas. Eventually, through various unfortunate tribal conflicts amongst themselves, the Andonites were forced to disperse into a wider area. The geography of nine hundred and fifty thousand years ago prevented them from penetrating very far into Asia or Africa, but pointed them to journey farther and farther North, until they were stopped by the slowly advancing ice of the Third Glacier Ice Age. Before this extensive ice-sheet reached the southern area of what is now France and the British Isles, the descendants of Andon and Fonta had pushed on westward over present day Europe and had established more than one thousand separate settlements along the great rivers leading to the then warm waters of the North Sea.
Eight hundred thousand years ago, after much tribal fighting and the eventual decline of the Andonites, the associated tribe of Badonan, led by a great-great-grandson of Andon, and living in the foothills of the Northwestern Highlands of the Indian Subcontinent, started to gain ascendancy. This Badonan tribe, rapidly becoming superior, began a warfare of extermination directed against their inferior and animalistic neighbours. In less than one thousand years most of theses animalistic groups had either been destroyed or driven back to the southern forests. The mixed descendants of the improved Badonite stock now appeared on the stage of Earth's Human evolution as a new people – the Neanderthal Race.
The Neanderthalers
The Neanderthalers were great hunters during their existence between eight and five hundred thousand years ago, since wild game was abundant with many species of deer, elephants and hippopotamuses roaming over the European continent. Cattle were plentiful; horses and wolves were everywhere. Their relatively crude culture made up of hunting and fighting, gradually spread and lasted for almost a quarter of a million years.
During these spiritually "Dark Ages" the culture of superstitious Mankind reached its lowest levels. The Neanderthalers really had no religion beyond superstition, in which an over-riding fear of the natural forces of Nature had gradually developed. This lead to attempts to placate the invisible forces of the natural elements through the sacrificing of Humans. They were afraid of clouds, more especially of mists and fogs and they also lived in fear of the dark and had a dread of nightfall. As long as the Moon shone, even a little, they managed to get along, but when the Moon became dark they grew panicky and began the sacrifice some of their best specimens of manhood and womanhood in an effort to induce the Moon to shine once again. This terrible practice of Human and animal sacrifice, which has been perpetuated by the more backward peoples of Earth even down to the present day, had the effect over time of decimating all of their finest and most intelligent members of the Race, leading to its ultimate final decline.
New Races Introduced
As the various indigenous tribes of Earth fiercely fought each other and almost wiped themselves out around five hundred thousand years ago, the Life Carriers introduced the final development of Humans, based on the six different coloured Races of more advanced potential already developed on other worlds. These were to be known on Earth as the Sangik Races and were the Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue/White and the Indigo/Black Races. The Red Race was eventually to settle exclusively in North America, the Yellow Race in Asia, the Black Races in Africa, and the Green and Blue/White in Europe, later known as the Caucasian Races.
It was the general Hierarchical Plan in the development of a normal evolutionary World to install a "Planetary Prince" Ruler at the appearance of the first consciously aware Human Beings. This was a time for the Life Carriers, who had been responsible for the development all the various life forms, to then depart. The purpose of a Planetary Prince assigned by the Local System Headquarters would normally be to further advance the development of the social, economic and cultural lifestyles of the new Races. However, since Earth was one of the 61 Decimal (one-in-ten) Experimental Worlds within the local System of Satania and in which the Life Carriers had experienced some developmental difficulties, this was delayed until the Six Coloured Races were finally installed five hundred thousand years ago. Two of the most senior Life Carriers involved in the development of Earth's life-forms elected to remain permanently with Planet Earth as Advisers, and have nobly done so right up to the present time.
The high personage chosen to be the first Planetary Prince of Urantia/Earth, was Caligastia, who up to that time had been attached to the Council of the Life Carrier Advisers at the Headquarters Sphere of the Local System of Satania on Jerusem. Lucifer had by then been appointed as the Local System Sovereign of Satania, and he was soon to elevate Caligastia to a position on his personal staff, where he was to acceptably fill five successive assignments of honour and trust. Caligastia himself very early on tried to seek a commission as a Planetary Prince, asking to be awarded a "Decimal" experimental life-modification World, but his petitions were turned down several times by the Constellation Fathers. Eventually he was assigned to Urantia/Earth. He had up to that point demonstrated an enviable record of devotion to the welfare of the Local Universe, notwithstanding a certain characteristic restlessness coupled with a tendency to disagree with the established Hierarchical Order on minor matters.
Caligastia, as the newly appointed Planetary Prince arrived five hundred thousand years ago from Jerusem with his 100 Senior Assistants at the newly established Headquarters in the Persian Gulf region, in an area corresponding to later Mesopotamia. At that time there were over 500 million relatively primitive Human Beings well scattered throughout Europe, Asia and Africa. The nucleus of the Prince's Headquarters settlement was to be the newly built and simple City of Dalamatia, initially of 6,000 inhabitants. It was built mainly of one-story buildings enclosed within a surrounding protective wall of over forty feet in height. From this base he established ten specialized educational and training groups who then brought in all the most intelligent members of the various semi-civilised tribes surrounding that area for training and instruction. These various developmental Councils taught the primitive tribesmen such things as well-digging, water-springs control, irrigation, improved methods of treating skins for use as clothing, and later to introduce to them the weaving of cloth. Great advances were made with them, particularly in methods of food storage. Food was now to be preserved by cooking, drying and smoking, and it thus became Man's earliest valuable property, providing for the periods of famine which periodically decimated those early times.
For almost three hundred thousand years Prince Caligastia advanced the planetary civilization in a slow and well planned manner. That is, until the "Lucifer Rebellion" reached Earth's shores.
The Lucifer Rebellion
Lucifer as Sovereign of the Local System of Satania had by then reigned for more than five hundred thousand years as the Chief Executive of a System of 607 inhabited Worlds. He was generally considered a magnificent and brilliant personality and he stood in line for promotion to becoming one of the Constellation Fathers in the Local Universe of Nebadon. But during the last 100 years of his reign, Lucifer increasingly questioned the entire Hierarchical set up of the whole Grand Universe Administration. He eventually produced a "Declaration of Liberty" Manifesto, in which he charged that the Paradise Trinity Father did not really exist and was a myth invented by the Paradise Creator Sons to enable them to maintain their rule of the Local Universes in a so-called Father's name. He contended that the Local Universe Systems should be autonomous and protested that the Creator Son Michael should not have the right to assume full Sovereignty of Nebadon after he was to complete his final Seventh Bestowal life on one of his planets. He also objected to the amount of time and resources used in the vast programme of training billions of "Ascendant Mortals" on the numerous Mansion Worlds for a "mythical" Ascension purpose up to the Central Universes, all to the detriment of Local Universe development.
Lucifer first announced his plans to Satan, his First Administrative Assistant, but it required several months to win over this able and brilliant Associate. However, when once converted to the rebel theories, he himself became a bold and earnest advocate of "self-assertion and liberty". The Head Chief of the Seraphic Hosts (the Angelic Orders) responsible for the day-to-day administration also himself joined the Lucifer cause, even though his Second in Command, Manotia, remained loyal to the Grand Universe Hierarchical Administration. The defection of the Head Administrator of what in our terms would be our Government's "Civil Servants", influenced a large number of the Local System Administrative Seraphim to follow in joining the Rebellion. According to a then highly placed observer, "The Seraphic Leader was spiritually blinded by the brilliant personality of Lucifer and that his charming ways had fascinated the Lower Orders of the Celestial Seraphim: they simply could not comprehend that it was possible for such a dazzling personality to go wrong".
Upon this outbreak of the Satania "Rebellion", Creator Son Michael of Nebadon took counsel of the Ambassador representing the Isle of Paradise ruling Trinity to the Local Universe of Nebadon, based on the Nebadon Headquarters Sphere of Salvington. Following this momentous conference, Michael of Nebadon announced that he would pursue the same policy which had characterized his dealings with two previous and similar upheavals in the past, an attitude of non-interference, allowing also for the fact that it would probably die-out through lack of continued support. In fact, the main force of the Rebellion was to die out within a couple of years, although Lucifer, by then deprived of any power authority, did not entirely give up his efforts, with the help of Satan, for a further two hundred thousand years.
At the time of this Rebellion and during the preceding two earlier ones in other parts of Nebadon, there was not as yet an absolute "Sovereign" in the Local Universe of Nebadon. The Creator Son Michael ruled only by "Divine Right", as a Vice-Regent of the Trinity Father, but not yet in his own right, having not completed his final Seventh Bestowal career on an inhabited Planet of his choice (which he was finally to do on Planet Earth). Since Michael did not at that time have the full power and authority to deal promptly with the Rebellion, he was not in a position to prevent the rebel forces of Lucifer running a limited course. He was also subject to a final adjudication on the Rebellion by the Seventh Superuniverse Rulers on the Headquarters World of Uversa. Although Lucifer and his followers were immediately stripped of any authority, they were not prevented from living lives of a fairly limited freedom and they were able at times to incite further trouble, particularly on the fractious Planet Earth.
The Lucifer Rebellion was to fully involve only thirty-seven inhabited Planets out of the 607 within the Local System of Satania. But this was deemed to be a possible threat to the three million or so other inhabited Worlds within the Local Universe of Nebadon. Upon the outbreak of the insurrection the entire Local System of Satania was isolated for a limited period from all the Constellation and the Local Universe broadcast and information circuits, as well as from direct communications with the Superuniverse of Orvonton. These communication circuits, soon restored to most of the Local System of Satania, were more permanently cut off on the 37 Rebellious Worlds. This was done to ensure that Lucifer would not be able to use this avenue for the furtherance of any future schemes. This isolation was to be enforced as long as the Arch-rebel Lucifer existed within the confines of Satania, even though by then most of his controlling power had been taken from him. The 37 Planets, including Earth, who succumbed to the Rebellion have thus been kept in isolation/quarantine on the orders of the controlling Orvonton Superuniverse Administration for nearly two hundred thousand years. A final adjudication was recently made by the "Most Highs" of Uversa in 1985, when Lucifer and Satan, after having both refused to climb down and accept clemency, had the elements of their Souls irrevocably dispersed to the general pool of soul material available for new use in any future Creation.
At the time of the outbreak of the Rebellion, an emergency Council of Nebadon High Administrative Fathers, who had had personal experience with similar situations, was immediately organized on the Local System Headquarters of Jerusem. They advised Gabriel, the Chief Administrative Executive of Nebadon, that at least three times the number of Beings could be led astray if arbitrary or summary methods of suppression were attempted. Also the High Fathers of the Orvonton Superuniverse Headquarters on Uversa, to which our Local Universe of Nebadon must ultimately defer, concurred in advising Gabriel to permit the Rebellion to take its full and natural course, even if it should require a million years to wind up the consequences.
Satan, Lucifer's First Assistant and close collaborator, had already visited Planet Urantia/Earth on a tour of inspection before the Rebellion was started, and at that time informed Earth's Planetary Prince, Caligastia, of Lucifer's proposed "Declaration of Liberty". He quickly won him over to embracing the Delaration of Liberty and the possibility of joining the rebellion. Later, Caligastia was to hold a prolonged meeting with his First Associate, Daligastia, and quickly won him over. They then jointly called the Ten Councils of Urantia in a Session Extraordinary. The Assembly was opened with the statement that Prince Caligastia was about to proclaim himself absolute Sovereign of Urantia instead of just being a Planetary Prince appointed by the Constellation Fathers. He demanded that all administrative groups abdicate by resigning all of their functions and powers into his hands as Trustee, pending the reorganization of the Planetary Government. Sixty per cent of the Administrative personnel agreed to comply. The other forty per cent, through their newly appointed Chairman, Van, instead made a direct appeal against this to the Local System of Satania Headquarters at Jerusem. However, since Lucifer was the Local System Sovereign, they obviously quickly received orders back confirming Caligastia as the new Supreme Sovereign of Urantia and commanding absolute and unquestioning allegiance to his mandates. The break away loyalist group to the Nebadon Hierarchy led by Van therefore decided to flee the Capital city of Dalamatia, to dwell in isolation in an un-walled and poorly protected settlement surrounded by marauding tribes a short distance East of Dalamatia.
The ultimate effect of the Rebellion on Earth was that many of its skilled administrative civil servants and instructors were split and dispersed, causing a major setback in the evolutionary progress of the indigenous tribes and any real progress in developing a higher civilisation on Earth. For over fifty years great administrative confusion reigned in Dalamatia and its surroundings. It was not long before the entire remaining Staff loyal to Caligastia were engaged in an energetic defense of their City against the hordes of semi-savages who were to besiege its walls. This came as a result of the Doctrines of Liberty which had been prematurely spread amongst them by Caligastia. His grand scheme for the immediate reconstruction of Human society in accordance with his new ideas for individual freedom and group liberties proved to be a swift failure. The surrounding relatively primitive tribal society rapidly sank back to its old levels.
One hundred and sixty-two years after the Rebellion, a tidal wave was to sweep up over the City of Dalamatia, by which time it had been invaded by tribal renegades who soon converted the central Temple to the Trinity Father into a shrine dedicated to Nog, their God of Light and Fire.
Ten thousand years later, practically all of the physical and spiritual gains of Prince Caligastia's original Administration had been effaced. Though the Planet was peopled by Races that were biologically and physically fit, many of the tribes languished in the depths of savagery and moral stagnation. Only among the more advanced Nodite and the Amadonite Tribes, both originally associated with the City of Dalamatia, but who had opposed each other in the Rebellion, was there a remanent of some of the old civilising culture of Dalamatia. However, a persistent traditional enmity carried on between these two Tribes. This feud was constantly rising to the surface whenever the descendants of these two tribal groups ever tried to engage in some common constructive enterprise.
Adam and Eve and the Garden of Eden
There then came a time in the Planet's evolutionary development almost forty thousand years ago, when the Life Carriers on duty responsible for its biologic and Human development took note that, from a purely biological standpoint, the developmental progress of the Urantia Races was nearing its apex. They made a petition to the Most Highs of our local Norlatiadek Constellation Headquarters on Edentia that Urantia should be inspected with a view to authorizing the next stage in a young planet's evolution. This stage in the development of a young planet requires the installment of two "Adamic" biologic uplifters in the form of a traditionally termed "Adam and Eve", that is two highly evolved Ascendant Mortal Beings - a "Material Son and Daughter of the Local System". This is the normal process for a young Planet to further advance the genetic quality of the indigenous Races. However, the chosen "Adam and Eve" genetic upgraders are never allowed to mate themselves with the indigenous inhabitants, as they must retain intact their pure genetic characteristics brought over from their higher world. Only their own Earth offspring would be allowed to procreate with some of the carefully selected indigenous Mortals in order to upgrade the World population's genes and racial characteristics.
A planetary inspection was duly made by the Constellation Fathers of Norlatiadek who arrived from Edentia, the Constellation Capital. Following this the new Adamic genetic upgrading step for Urantia/Earth was duly approved by them. They then made a selection of two suitable volunteer "Adamic" Rulers for Earth from the residents of Jerusem, the Local System Capital of Satania, who would then be accorded the traditional planetary title/name of Adam and Eve.
The next stage was to build a "Garden of Eden" on Urantia/Earth, to be somewhat based on the beautiful semi-tropical gardens of Edentia. This area was to function as an Administrative Headquarters for the new Adam and Eve. Van and Amadon, Leaders of the Amadonite Race who had remained loyal after the Rebellion were asked to come down from their highland Headquarters and recruit from sixty-one scattered settlements, a Corps of over three thousand willing and enthusiastic workers to build the new "Garden of Eden". From a possible choice of three selected sites, one that was chosen was on a long peninsula – almost an island – projecting Westward from the Eastern shores of the Mediterranean Sea and with a good warm climate.
The neck of the Edenic peninsula was over 37 miles wide and at the center was first built an exquisite stone Temple to the Trinity Father of the Grand Universe. Right in the the center of the Temple was planted "the Tree of Life" brought over from the Constellation of Norlatiadek's Headquarters Sphere, Edentia and whose fruit had the properties of prolonging the life span almost indefinitely of the Adamic Beings originating from Satania's Headquarters World of Jerusem. The Garden of Eden's Administative Headquarters were established in the Northern part of the peninsula and the homes for the workers and their families in the South. The plans laid for the Garden of Eden provided for enough homes and abundant land in a beautifully semi-tropical garden landscape to allow for an eventual total of one million inhabitants.
By the time Adam and Eve arrived from the Local System of Satania's Headquarters Sphere of Jerusem over thirty-seven thousand years ago, the Garden of Eden was already one quarter finished, with thousands of miles of irrigation ditches and more than twelve thousand miles of paved paths and roads. There were eventually to be over five-thousand brick dwellings in the various sectors, each locality allowing for only a maximum cluster of seven in one area. They were all to be surrounded by great numbers of trees and plants and within the most beautiful garden landscaping possible.
However, after their arrival and formal installation as the new Rulers of Urantia/Earth, Adam and Eve soon became very aware of the Planet's isolation from contact with other worlds as a result of the Lucifer Rebellion. Silent were the familiar Galactic Broadcasts, and absent were all the circuits of extraplanetary communication. Their second day on Earth was spent in session with the "Planetary Receivers", the Melchizedeks and their Advisory Council, who had been appointed provisional Custodians of the Planet. From them they learned more details of the effects of the Caligastia Rebellion on Earth, of the upheaval it had upon the Planet's forward evolutionary progress and also of the utter collapse of Caligastia's attempted scheme for accelerating the process of social evolution. As a result of this long and disheartening story, they saw the impracticality of Caligastia's attempt to achieve a young planet's evolutionary advancement by breaking away from the overall Grand Universe Hierarchical Administration and all the valuable experience and assistance they could bring to bear.
Nonetheless, all went reasonably well for a time on Urantia/Earth under the new Adamic Administration. It even appeared that Adam might gradually be able to develop a successful plan for the gradual extension of the new Edenic civilization to out amongst the surrounding primitive tribes. Adam and Eve had in fact been given a long training period on Jerusem on all the techniques of improving a young World's readiness to accept a step-up in evolutionary civilization. Now they had to face up to the pressing problems of establishing a rule of Law and Order in the surrounding world of savages, barbarians, and semi-civilized Human Beings. Unfortunately, apart from the cream of the Earth's population assembled in the Garden of Eden, only a few tribal groups here and there were at all ready for the reception of the new Adamic culture. Tribal development had been badly set back by the administrative disruption following the earlier Lucifer Rebellion.
Adam made a heroic and determined effort to institute Representative Government in place of a Monarchial one, but he met with stubborn resistance at every turn and eventually had to abandon all efforts to do so. He had already put in operation a system of group control throughout the Garden of Eden itself and had federated all of these groups into the "Edenic League". He also did succeed in establishing almost one hundred outlying Trade and Social Centers where selected individuals of a strong ability ruled in his name.
But serious trouble always ensued when he went outside the Garden of Eden and sought to apply these ideas to the more distant outlying tribes. The moment Adam's associates began to work outside the Edenic area, they met a direct and well-planned resistance of Caligastia and Daligastia. Although the fallen Prince had been deposed by the Constellation Fathers as Earth's ruling Sovereign, he had not been physically removed from the Planet, and in fact was not done so until the time of Christ Michael's Bestowal life on Earth two thousand years ago. He was still able to some extent to encourage many primitive tribes to resist all of Adam's plans for the rehabilitation and upgrading of Earth's society. There were still many who leaned towards the Caligastia teachings of unbridled personal liberty and unacceptability of the outside authority of the Nebadon Administration.
Caligastia however was allowed to pay frequent visits to the Garden of Eden in order to try and settle the differences between his leadership of the outlying tribes and the Adamic Administration. Although he held many conferences with Adam and Eve, Adam was always adamant against any of his insidious suggestions of compromise and other short-cut adventures. But the fallen Prince Caligastia was wily, persistent and determined. He soon gave up trying to work directly on Adam and decided to try a subtle flank attack on Eve. He laid plans for entrapping Eve into committing a serious error over the "Adamic Pledge" made by Adam and Eve to the Celestial Hierarchy never to themselves procreate with any of Earth's indigenous Mortals.
Adam and Eve had just finished their first one-hundred years on Earth, having produced sixty-three of their own children along with 1,647 grandchildren as their pure-line descendants. It was at this time that Caligastia decided to set in motion a wily plot to undermine Adam's rule. It should be realised that Caligastia, having originated from a superior non-mortal Race on Satania's Jerusem, still had considerable powers to mentally influence the thoughts and actions of mere Earth Mortals, even the more advanced and progressive ones. It was at this time that a senior Tribal Leader named Serapatatia had just come into the leadership of the Western or Syrian confederation of the Nodite tribes upon the death of his Father. Serapatatia who stood out as an unusually intelligent and advanced Human Mortal, had already made several visits to the Garden of Eden and had become deeply impressed with the righteousness of Adams's leadership and rule. Therefore, shortly after assuming the Leadership of the Syrian Nodites, he announced his intention of establishing an affiliation with the work of Adam and Eve in developing and upgrading tribal administration. He skillfully put it to the Nodite Tribal Confederation that it was going to be to their greater benefit and the Nodite Tribe readily agreed to join him in this.
It was shortly after this tribal acceptance that Serepatatia and some of his new Staff were gratefully invited and entertained by Adam and Eve in their own home in Eden. Serapatatia thereafter became one of the most able and efficient of all Adam's Lieutenants. He was entirely honest and thoroughly sincere in all of his activities. He was never conscious, even to the end, that he was to be used as a circumstantial tool against Adam and Eve in a clever plot set in motion through concealed mental suggestion by the wily Caligastia.
The "Fall" of Eve
Soon Serapatatia was appointed Associate Chairman of the Edenic Commission on Tribal Relations, and many plans were laid for the more vigorous prosecution of the work of winning the remote Tribes to the Adamic cause. He thus held frequent conferences with Adam and Eve – especially with Eve – and one day, during a talk with Eve, a mental suggestion came to Serapatatia that if the Nodites, as the most progressive and co-operative Tribal Race, could have a Leader born to them incorporating the elevated genes of her non-mortal Celestial Race, it would constitute a powerful tie binding these people to the Garden of Eden. He was then mentally influenced to reason with Eve that if this child could be reared and educated in the Garden of Eden, it would exert a great influence over his people and possibly influence the many other tribes.
For more than five years these plans were secretly progressed between them. At last they were developed to the point where Eve consented to have a secret conference with Serapatatia's close Associate, Cano, a most brilliant mind and the active Leader of the near-by colony of the friendly Nodites. Cano was very sympathetic to the Adamic cause and was also the spiritual Leader of this neighboring Nodite Tribe which had been amongst the first to choose to have friendly relations with the Garden of Eden.
The fateful meeting occurred during the twilight hours of an autumn evening, not far from the home of Adam. Eve had never before met the beautiful and enthusiastic Cano – and he was a magnificent specimen of the superior physique and outstanding intellect of his remote descendants of the Planetary Prince's original Staff. And Cano also thoroughly believed in the righteousness of the "Serapatatia Project", since multiple mating was a common practice outside of the Garden of Eden and was not considered in any way to be wrong.
Encouraged by flattery, enthusiasm, and great personal persuasion, Eve then and there consented to embark upon the much-discussed enterprise, to add her own little scheme of "World Saving" to the Divine Plan. Before she quite realized what was transpiring, the fatal step had been taken and the deed was done. The child arising from this union was eventually to be named Cain.
Adam however very soon sensed from Eve that something very seriously wrong had taken place. He asked Eve to come outside with him into their garden. And now for the first time Adam heard from Eve the entire story about her and Serapatatia's long-nourished plan for accelerating world improvement by stimulating the upliftment of the tribal bloodstock and genes of one of the more advanced world tribes.
And as they communed in the moonlit garden, they suddenly heard a discarnate "Voice in the Garden" reproving them for their disobedience. It informed them that they had transgressed the Garden of Eden Covenant and had defaulted in the execution of their Oaths of Trust to the Rulers of the Local Universe. Upon hearing this, Eve's disillusionment was truly pathetic. Adam had quickly taken in the whole predicament they were in and whilst heartbroken and dejected, he nonetheless felt a great sympathy and pity for his erring Mate.
It was in Adam's despair at the realization of Eve's failure that the day after Eve's misstep, he sought out Laotta, a brilliant Nodite woman who was Head of the Western schools of the Garden of Eden, in order to balance out Eve's great shame by committing the same act himself. He wished to deliberately share his beloved Partner's fate. He loved his Mate with a supermortal affection, and the thought of the possibility of a lonely vigil on Urantia without her was more than he could endure. Later, when the results of this union was the birth of a daughter named Sansa, and since Laotta died in the childbirth, Eve without hesitation took Sansa to her bosom and she was reared along with Cain to grow up to be a woman of great ability.
When the worker inhabitants of the Garden of Eden learned of what had happened to Eve, these infuriated inhabitants declared war on the near-by Nodite settlement. They swept out through the gates of Eden and down upon these unprepared Nodite people, utterly destroying them – not a man, woman, or child was spared. Cano, the father of Cain yet unborn, also perished and Serapataia, overcome with remorse at what he had set in motion, drowned himself next day in the Great River.
A time of uncertainty passed when Adam was not entirely certain how the Hierarchy was going to react to their offense Seventy days later he was to find out, when the former Melchizedek Custodians of the Planet returned to Urantia with a full jurisdiction over Planetary affairs given to them by the Constellation Fathers.
But still more trouble was brewing: the news of the annihilation of the Nodite settlement near Eden was not slow in reaching the home tribes of Serapatatia to the North, and presently a great host was assembling to march on the Garden of Eden. And this was to be only the beginning of a long and bitter warfare between the Adamite tribal followers and the Nodite Tribes. Adam, having realised that he and Eve had failed in their Adamic Mission, and not wishing to go to war with the tribes, agreed with twelve hundred of his loyal followers to flee by caravan East to the second originally selected site for the Garden of Eden, at the confluence of the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers in Mesopotamia.
On the third day out on the journey of the Edenic Caravan, it was halted by the arrival of the Seraphic Hosts from Jerusem, who formally informed Adam and Eve of their transgressions and advised them concerning their fate. Gabriel, the Chief Administrative Officer of the local Universe of Nebadon, had pronounced judgment from Nebadon's Headquarters on Salvington to the effect that, although they were not being charged of standing in "contempt of the Universe Government" and had not been guilty of rebellion, they had degraded themselves to the lower status of "Mortals" of the realm. They would no longer have immortality of life previously conferred on them along with their access to the restorative "Tree of Life". From now on they must conduct themselves as a purely mortal man and woman of Urantia, now subject to a limited life-span. They were henceforth to be totally dependent on any successful local development of Earth's tribal Races for their own future well-being.
It required almost a full year for the Edenic Caravan to reach the Euphrates River. When word reached the existing dwellers at the site of the Second Garden of Eden that the King and High Priest of the Garden of Eden was "marching on them", they fled in haste to the Eastern mountains. Adam found all of the desired territory totally vacated when he arrived. In this new location Adam and his helpers were now obliged to adopt relatively crude methods of living, whereas the first Garden of Eden had already been prepared for them, whilst this new one thus had to be created by the labour of their own hands. Adam's caravan had had the foresight to carry the seeds and bulbs of hundreds of plants and cereals of the first Garden to the land between the rivers. They also brought along extensive herds of animals as well as some of the more domesticated ones. Because of this, they at least possessed some advantages over the surrounding tribes and eventually they were able to develop and enjoy many of the benefits of the previous culture of their first Garden of Eden. The site of Second Garden of Eden between the two great rivers was to provided a good natural defense from any marauding tribes. A short way to the North, where the Euphrates and Tigris came close together, a high defense wall was to be built between the rivers extending some fifty-six miles for the protection of the main body of the territory to the South. And so it was that they set themselves to building their own new homes and working from scratch to create a second beautiful Garden of Eden and to eventually establish a new center on Earth of relatively advanced culture and religion.
Up to the time of leaving the first Eden, Adam and his family had always subsisted on eating only fruits, cereals and nuts. On the way to Mesopotamia they had for the first time been forced to partake of herbs and vegetables. Even though the eating of meat was eventually introduced into the Second Garden, Adam and Eve never partook of flesh as part of their regular diet. Neither did any of their first generation children of the original Eden become flesh eaters. They subsisted wholly upon "the fruits and nuts of the trees". However, the next generation of Adam descendants did begin to partake of dairy products, and they at the same time did continue to follow a non-flesh diet. Many of the Southern tribes with whom they later united were also non-flesh eaters. Later on, most of these vegetarian tribes migrated to the East and became mixed in with the peoples of India.
The psychic abilities of Adam and Eve were far superior to those of us present-day peoples. Their extra-sensory senses were acute and they were able to see higher-vibrational Angelic Hosts and other higher dimensional Beings - this ability lasted them for over one hundred years after the fall of the First Eden. These higher senses were not to be so strong in their Second Garden of Eden offspring and tended to gradually diminish with each succeeding generation.
Adam lived for a total of 530 years, 412 of them in the Second Garden of Eden, and died 35,000 years ago of what might be simply termed old age. His physical mechanism eventually wore out, the process of disintegration gradually gaining on the processes of repair, and the inevitable end came. Eve had died nineteen years previously of a weakened heart. They were both buried in the center of the Temple of Divine Service which had been built in accordance with their plans soon after the Northern Great Wall between the rivers of the colony had been completed.
The final end of the First Garden of Eden peninsula in the Mediterranean came almost four thousand years after Adam and Eve had fled. It had been overrun and occupied at different times by the lower-grade tribes of Nodites, Cutites and the Suntites. The end came in connection with violent activity of surrounding volcanoes and also at the time of the submergence of the Sicilian land bridge to Africa. The Eastern floor of the Mediterranean Sea was gradually sinking, eventually carrying down beneath the waters the entire Edenic peninsula over several hundred years. And so came to the end one of the most beautiful creations by Man combined with the beauty of Nature ever witnessed on Urantia/Earth.
The non-mortal Local System of Satania controlled background government of Urantia/Earth, under the direction of Earth's Custodian Melchizedeks, was to continue invisibly behind the scenes up to a period of two thousand years ago. This was then the time of the joint Seventh Bestowal life of the Creator Son Michael and Jesus/Immanuel/Esu in Palestine.
And here we leave the Story of the Creation of the Grand Universe and of Urantia/Earth as handed down to us by the Celestial Hierarchy in "The Urantia Book" [see link at the end of Chapter 1 for the full text of The Urantia Book]. Although the Urantia Book does end with a very detailed life of Jesus of Palestine in his joint incarnation with our Creator Son Michael of Nebadon, it does not cover the later extraterrestrial sponsored major civilisations on Earth, such as Lemuria and Atlantis. The Uversa Hierarchy has limited its Earth Creation story to the standard Hiearchical plan for the development of a new planet and its purely indigenous Ascendant Beings. Extraterrestrial inflows of other peoples is another story and would not have been accepted by Earth's population at the time of the Urantia Book's publication in 1934, as knowledge about such matters was then totally unknown. These major concurrent civilisations were largely set up by outside extraterrestrial Races, particularly by the Pleiadians from the nearby Pleiadian Star System and the Sirians from the Sirius Star System, but also involving other rather less savoury sources, such as some dark Orion "Renegades" and the "Reptilian" Races (who are somewhat similar in general appearance to Humans, though some still possessing vestigial tails).
The major civilisations such as Lemuria and Atlantis, also benefited from an extensive parallel inflow of "Descendant Beings" from the Central Universe of Havona and even the Isle of Paradise, and who came to teach, inspire and also for many of them, a new learning experience. This also provided their offspring an opportunity to incarnate on a lower physical world in order to gain much needed Third-Dimensional experience and learning. These great civilisations of Lemuria and Atlantis, were both to rise to a peak of high attainment, only to then decline and finally sink beneath the oceans. The continent of Lemuria was situated West of the American continent, covering much of the present Pacific Ocean, with the Hawaiian Islands remaining as a visible remnant. It was the first to sink beneath the waves and some of its people were able to escape to the "Inner Earth" to join the then 4th Dimensional Argarthian civilisation within the interior of Earth [for more on the "The Inner Earth" see the Link at the end of Book 1]. The Civilisation of Atlantis which later developed as a sister civilisation to Lemuria was situated in the Atlantic ocean largely between the continents of Africa and South America. Atlantis was also to rise to great heights and then decline in several stages, with an eventual sinking in two stages of its main continental body in the Southern Atlantic. This left a final portion in the Northern Atlantic as the Island Continent of Poseidon. The Azores Islands are a present-day remnant of their highest mountainous area. Poseidon was to develop many advanced technologies, including the ability to generate unlimited free electrical power which also powered their airships. Unfortunately it also eventually declined under an increasingly dark and corrupt Priesthood, and itself to finally sink beneath the Atlantic Ocean, precipitating the "Great Flood" of Noah's Ark fame, 12 thousand years ago. [Brief aspects of these great civilisations will be later explored in a separate document].
Planet Earth, through having been placed in "quarantine" by the Orvonton Superuniverse Hierarchy after the Lucifer Rebellion, was thus left open through its isolation to being invaded by many outside influences, some beneficial, some malign. The Reptilian Races who have long tried to make this a base for their activities in this area of the Local Universe, were for a time able to secure areas of Earth alongside the Human population, eventually leading to some conflict between the two Races. They have nonetheless managed to retain a modified element of their Race throughout Asia. This old racial conflict has led within our Galaxy to many major Galactic Wars between the mainly Reptilian "Anchara Alliance" and the Human Galactic Federation "Forces of Light".
Following the sinking of Atlantis, Earth came to be colonized and heavily controlled by yet another extraterrestrial Race, known as the Nibirurans. They also came to be known as The Anunnaki ("Astronauts"), a Race of "Gods" who descended upon Earth from their roving "Battleship Planet" Nibiru, originally built by the Galactic Federation in the Pleiades for Galactic peace keeping purposes. Nibiru was constructed as a hollow sphere four-times the size of Planet Earth. Its 4th Dimensional inhabitants all live on the inside, where they have a fully verdant landscape complete with lakes and rivers similar to those on Earth. Nibiru is at present confined to a permanent orbit ranging from out of our Solar System as far as the Sirius Star cluster to then returning into our Solar System every 3.6 thousand years. At this time it is currently passing through our Solar System, though fully "cloaked" from our 3rd Dimension Earth vision.
The Nibirurans were briefly involved with Earth long before the creation of Atlantis and returned after it's sinking during Earth's "Dark Ages" following the Great Flood. They set up a new civilisation in the Mesopotamia region, which was to become known as the Sumerian Civilisation. They had returned in order to mine our supplies of gold mineral resources in Africa. They badly needed this gold in order to create a protective radiation shield around Nibiru after it had been exposed to many nuclear attacks during its their former peace keeping role. They found the simple indigenous Earth survivors left after the Great Flood a good material to genetically transform into obedient gold mining slaves to work in their gold mines. These simple-minded natives, named by them as the "Lulus", had their 12-strand DNA reduced to 2 strands, allowing them only enough intelligence to receive instructions, but with limited mental abilities to disobey. The two-strand DNA introduced into them soon spread throughout Earth's Humanity, and has persisted within all of us right down to the present time. This accounts for the fact that most Earth Humans at present have the use of only 20 percent of their potential mental capability. Our 12-strand DNA will be fully restored when we step up to the 5th Dimension vibrational rate on the New Earth after the Earth Changes.
The ruling Nibiruan Family on Earth, looked on by the then simple Earth Humans as their "Gods", were unfortunately to constantly bicker and fight amongst themselves. It was through this infighting that they eventually were to devastate a large area of Mesopotamia in 2024 B.C. with the use of a plutonium bomb in a dispute between themselves, creating a desert in what was a formerly verdant area. Nevertheless, the Nibiruans have managed to continue to retain a behind the scenes control of Earth right up to our recent times, mainly through their "Secret Government" and Earth's banking and financial institutions. This Secret Government also known as the "Illuminati", led by the 13 most powerful Banking Families, has been a major influence behind many of our major Governments, including the recent U.S. Government. The Nibiruans's old racial name on Earth was the Hibiru, later becoming known as the Hebrews, a Race that has always managed to maintain a strong separate identity. However, the Nibiruan's ultimately higher 9th Dimensional Council has recently expressed a strong desire to make amends for any past Nibiruan interference on Earth and to give us as much assistance as they can in our forthcoming Earth Changes. [For more from the Nibiruan 9D Council, see the Link at the end of Book 1]
The Sumerian Civilisation thus leads us up to a period of two thousand years ago, when Earth witnessed the momentous "Seventh Bestowal Life" of the Creator Son Christ Michael, made in a joint incarnation with Jesus/Immanuel in Palestine. This was indeed a very great honour and significant event for Planet Earth. Usually most Planets within a Local Universe, and only after their inhabitants have reached a certain level of mental ability, are endowed with a second-level "Bestowal" incarnation by an Avonal Paradise Son, that is, a secondary Paradise Son of the Eternal Son of the Holy Trinity. His job is to then administer and lead the inhabitants forward up to their next level of development. However, only seven inhabited Planets within three thousand of a Local Universe are ever graced with a Creator Son's "Bestowal" physical incarnation by its ruling Paradise Creator Son of the first Trinity Father level. Earth, which happens to be a one-in-ten "Decimal" experimental ecology development Planet, had the great honour of being chosen by our Local Universe Creator Son Michael for his Seventh and final Bestowal incarnation. This Final Bestowal incarnation entitled him to attain a full "Sovereign" status, following a long probationary period as acting Regent on behalf of his Paradise Trinity Father.
This joint incarnation between Christ Michael of Nebadon and Immanuel Esu/Jesus, has not always been entirely understood. Esu/Jesus Immanuel (later earning the honorific title-name of "Sananda" as a result of his momentous and difficult Earth experience) was the first Son of Gabriel, the Chief Administrative Officer of Nebadon. Gabriel himself was the original first joint offspring of Christ Michael and his ruling Co-Partner, Nebadonia. Jesus/Immanel was the actual physical incarnated Human Being on the ground, but was continually "overshadowed" by the Spirit presence of Christ Michael. Christ Michael not only spoke through him, but fully experienced all of the ups and downs of this difficult teaching ministry. He was himself to vividly experience all the trauma and pain of the final Crucifixion on the cross.
Gabriel as Father of Jesus/Immanuel, was also there as a horrified witness of the Crucifixion, watching in mounting fury from his overhead Mothership, but not allowed to intercede. He had to endure the dreadful taunting and humiliation given out by the townspeople to his Son on the Cross. It was the enormous overhead spreading mass of his Mothership blotting out the Sun that caused the "great darkness to spread over the land" and also the following dramatic electrical storm, resulting from its massive magnetic influence upon the atmosphere.
After the body of Jesus was finally placed in the Tomb of Joseph of Arimathea, the overshadowing Spirit of Christ Michael ascended separately out of the body up into the Spiritual Realms to resume his Rulership, now as the full "Sovereign of Nebadon". However, it is little known (though detailed in the long lost "Chronicles of Jesus" - more on this below) that the Jesus Immanuel did indeed physically survive the experience and was to live on in India for a further hundred years.
It was after Joseph of Arimathea, a devout follower of Jesus, having sought permission from Pilot to place Jesus in his own private tomb set into a stone cliff and set a large circular stone rolled across the entrance, that he received a mental message from Gabriel overhead that Jesus was merely in a "comatose" state. He quickly returned to the City of Jerusalem and searched out and found some known healing friends of Jesus from India. With special herbs and ointments they returned to the Tomb, entering through a secret side entrance and passage, and nursed him for three days and nights until he finally recovered and his strength was fully restored.
Esu/Jesus Immanuel later reappeared several times in the flesh to the astonishment of his Disciples. The final occasion was when they were unsuccessfully fishing in the Sea of Tiberia. He appeared before them and told them to "throw the net out to the right side of the boat, and you will catch a great number". This they did and they were amazed to fill the net with a great multitude of fish. After giving them a final lesson on the "Laws of The Creation", a large silvery spacecraft descended and took him off to Damascus, Syria. Here he spent two years before sending for his faithful Brother Thomas, and also his favourite Disciple Thomas, as well as his close friend Judas Iscarioth (later to be confused with his betrayer, Juda Iharioth, Son of the Pharisee Simeon) who had already chronicled much of the life of Jesus (These Chronicles were hidden in Joseph of Arimithea's Tomb, later to be removed and re-hidden only to be finally revealed in the Christ Michael (Hatonn) "Phoenix Journal" of 6th August 1989). He also brought to Damascus his beloved Mother, Mary. They then all travelled to Northern India (now West Pakistan) where he preached and taught the people, using the name Esu. however, Mary was soon to pass away, and eventually he and his companions settled in Srinagar, Cashmere/Kashmir. There he himself finally passed away at the age of a hundred and thirty-seven years.
The long-held Earth tradition that Jesus Immanuel (Esu) would return a second time as the World Spiritual Teacher, will occur after the coming Earth Changes. This will not be the return of the Paradise Creator Son, Christ Michael, Aton/Sovereign of Nebadon. Nevertheless, Christ Michael has himself been keeping a close watch over us jointly with Jesus/Immanuel since 1954, and even more closely for over the last twenty years from his temporary home on the Pleiadian Mothership, The “Phoenix”, in preparedness for the great Earth Changes. In 1989 he commenced channeling messages, using the pen-name of "Commander Hatonn", from the Phoenix, using the channeled published medium of the "Phoenix Journals". As Christ Michael has more recently told us in a Message through Candace of “AbundantHope” on the 18th November 2005:
Christ Michael: “Back during the “First Coming”, I did indeed experience the sorrow of the peoples of this Planet, very first hand, experientially. When I left that incarnation, on the Cross, I not only took my required rapid Ascension journey, as described in The Urantia Book to sit at the Right Hand of the Father, I stayed in the Central Universe for a time to review what I had observed in person. In my good conscience I could not let this Planet go, nor could I put its care into the hands of another, and delegate the work. I knew I would return to make right of the wrongs, personally.
“You have all agreed to come to the Planet, choosing this time to be part of this extremely unusual journey with me. We are all working together, Two or More in My Name, to mend this Planet, and restore through my Correcting Time, where she ought more to be at this point in her history. We are not only correcting the Time, through this joint experience, we all are together, even myself, the Creator Son, greatly adding to our combined experience, learning on a bigger learning curve, making known the unknown.
”At the conclusion of this mighty project, together we will have made greater progress in our knowledge, our experiential learning than had we adjudicated the Rebellion of Lucifer with massive arrests, and rapidly putting an end to it. I chose to let it to go through to a natural end. Despite that some might disagree with this, to this end, we together are making known the unknown to the Father, and as I look back at my 300 Billion years in Nebadon, and my theorem I set out to test, I would do it all over again. It is no longer a theorem, it is now known.
“I desired, in my experience 2000 years ago, to also not only handle my own Bestowal and use it to terminate the Lucifer Rebellion, but to double dip of sorts, and handle also the Anunnaki/Nibiruan influence on the Planet. To understand that situation better, because I had never personally experienced the Galactic Warring problem in Nebadon, I came together with one very highly experienced in this arena, Immanuel Esu Kumara [Jesus/Sananda]. He had quite a few previous incarnations on the Planet; the most notable one was as King David. The Kind David mission was a great one, and that is why it stood out. Immanuel is a highly experienced warrior my friends, yes Sananda is indeed a warrior!
“Now with the “Second Coming” Event, Sananda Immanuel does become the Planetary Prince of Urantia. I have a couple of other Ascending Sons in similar positions in my Universe, and an Ascending Son also in a position of System Sovereign. These jobs, in my Universe, do not have to be held by the Descending Sons, and in the Rebellion Worlds, I have learned that the Ascending Sons, with their vast experiential learning, better understand those worlds that have rebelled. So be it, with Sananda.
“Your World has set itself aside, made itself different, decided on a different box, so it can have a different leadership. Lucifer was not all wrong, he thought he had a better way, but his Ego was a huge problem with him, his Ego remained so strong, that at the end, at his trial, he chose to be uncreated, rather than come out of his box, and try on a different hat.
“For the time being, Sananda Immanuel has adopted Urantia, Earth Shan, as his home, for his future experiencing as a Planetary Prince. He is one of you, who understands who you are, and what you want, because he has been there and done that. I chose not to squelch the Rebellion, because I created my Universe to be in a different box, rather not in a box, and the sad part is, that Lucifer did not understand that.
”In his quest to do his own thing, he created a very limiting box, and this is what is behind the rebellion of Lucifer in the first place. He was not happy with how I ran my Universe; he felt his system needed to be more within the box. It needed more rules. He felt with his ideas, he could actually speed up evolution, but instead he set it back. So we now have the "Correcting Time”.
As Siraya, a Spokesperson for the Trinity Father of our Grand Universe, based within the 7th SuperUniverse of Orvonton, has recently explained in relation to our Planet Earth/Urantia's creation:
“I'm speaking to you as the Representative of the Creator Source, to use that phrase. My work is as the voice for His ideas in what you call the SuperUniverse of Orvonton. I am the expression of the Creator's intent and observations in this configuration of the Trinity. My words are His words, as a rule, although I am capable of voicing my own observations and guidance. I am the conduit for His energy to be expressed in this Seventh SuperUniverse manifestation.
“I say all this to you to clarify my position as Spokesman, although my gender is more balanced and neutral than your word indicates. I am a link with Him and the various Paradise Creator Sons that have formed Local Universes within this SuperUniverse. Your Christ Michael, ATON/Sovereign, is the creator of this Local Universe of Nebadon, of which your Earth is a small but very significant part. Your Creator Son Michael argued the merits of his concept of creation before the Hierarchy overseeing the growth of Orvonton, and he was granted permission to proceed. I spoke the words for the Trinity Creator Source giving him Divine approval.
“Part of this concept was the creation of Earth as a proving ground to train new Creator Sons. No more “Descending” Paradise Sons will be created to function as they were originally envisioned, and your Creator Son Michael persuaded his overseers to allow him to develop a planet where “Ascending Sons” could begin training to assume that role sometime in the distant future. This was to be done by giving them free will to make their own choices in a situation purposefully separated from most Divine guidance. This experience, with only a minimal point of contact, would prepare them for any sort of contingency they might face. They would already have solved the problem, in effect, by acting as a Co-creator.
“The lessons of this experiment have been learned through an existence that has been much more demanding than was ever imagined at the outset. The Lucifer Rebellion and the subsequent “quarantine” took separation and its possibilities to an unprecedented but logical level. Ultimately, being disconnected from God would make you think you were God with the ability to create your own existence. This was an illusion, but it created the upheaval you are aware of. It was allowed to play out its life cycle, however horrendous it may seem. Once it was set in motion, it couldn't be stopped short of “uncreation” of the Universe it was connected to. It was allowed to wind down to a manageable level of turmoil, although always with the presumption it would be reclaimed and put back on the course it had been destined for.
“The worst betrayers of the truth of Christ Michael's Universe have been placed on Planet Earth to work through their sequences of choices in the hope they would return to a life of Ascendancy. Many others have incarnated with them to be guides and examples, as they too have opted to struggle with the sense of separation from Divine Truth. This interaction has culminated in the spiritual stalemate that you have been experiencing the last few years. Although fewer have returned than Christ Michael ATON hoped, he has salvaged a large enough percentage to persuade him to rethink the closure that seemed inevitable.
“The end is inevitable because of the changing Universe that Earth is part of. There is an immense clockwork of galactic interactions that trigger changes and reactions that are all part of the grand design of growth and ascendancy that was built into Nebadon's creation. To continue as part of its universal cog, Earth and its surroundings must change in sync with all the other parts. A natural process of growth and change would have resulted in Earth refashioning itself by geophysical changes and a reversal of polar direction. This would have removed any elements that were blocking the Planet's shift, including anything living or created thing that was an obstacle to this change.
“Typically a Planet would refashion itself with no regard for the existence that had developed on its surface. This was the fate that was expected for Earth. The frequency of its natural vibration had slowed to such a low level that it seemed counterproductive for those who had incarnated here to help awaken a spiritual awareness to persuade the misguided inhabitants to change.
“Because Earth was Christ Michael's Seventh Bestowal Planet, and because his incarnation here earned him the right to be truly considered the Sovereign of Nebadon and final authority in determining its development, he decided to attempt its Ascension without the chaos that normally would ensue. Plans were drawn up to evacuate those who had reconnected with Christ Michael's vision of what the next phase of the Planet's existence would be.
“This plan was reconsidered with the wave of victims and the out-swelling of support that that sprung up as a result of the 9/11 attack. For the first time, a sufficient portion of Earth's Mass Consciousness was unified and focused with healing compassion on a higher level of spiritual understanding. This unity of awareness convinced Christ Michael that the previous plan for Earth's Ascension could be modified to account for those inhabitants that looked for a higher purpose and resolution. The Plan became one of allowing Man to ascend on Earth along with the Planet. This concept meant a drastic re-thinking of the process to allow Man to reach a level of awareness sufficient for his physical incarnation to be able to adapt to the higher frequency of energy that would be necessary to allow Earth to be renewed.
“The last ten years have been a series of preparations and disappointments as the entrenched resistance on Earth proved more difficult to deal with than expected. Ultimatums have been ignored and the number of inhabitants waking up has been less than hoped. Earth has graciously held off a little longer to allow Man to catch up. This has reached a point in the Cosmic synchronization where delay is impossible for Earth and Man.
“Christ Michael Aton has begun the series of events that will lead to closure of this phase of Earth's existence. No resistance is forth-coming to geophysical changes, and they may occur as they are necessary. Man has chosen either to stay and work for the Planet's Ascension, or leave and continue elsewhere. Evidence of this sequence of events is becoming impossible to hide.
“Look for the collapse of civilization as you know it and be prepared for upheavals on Earth that are unprecedented in known history. Many will leave and much of the Earth's surface will be changed. This is the necessary closure that is required to shift the direction and frequency of your existence.
“Know that the events you will experience have a Universal purpose, and that you who are staying here have chosen to take part in this unique development. You will be guided and supported by your Galactic family. You will be protected and relocated when necessary. You will be taught and be made aware of your history. You will see your place and recognize your purpose within the Cycle of Ascendency you are part of.
“This is my explanation and my comfort in these last days.”
Siraya, Spokesperson of The Trinity Father Creator, and based on the Seventh SuperUniverse of Orvonton.
Chapter Three:
FREE WILL, KARMA & MORALITY
Evolution is a process of learning through choice, and to this end we have all been granted by the Absolute Source of all Creation the gift of Free Will/Free Choice . Free Will is exercised down at Earth's dense physical level in the most extreme difficult conditions. On higher spiritual planes it is possible to see in a single moment the probable outcomes of various alternative paths, and it is therefore a much simpler matter to make the right choice. But since the Earth Plane is clouded by the surrounding "Veil", it is not possible for us to see clearly the future outcomes of our choices. We on Earth have to go through the more arduous process of physical experience; we have to make blind choices, trying to weigh up all the barely perceivable advantages or disadvantages to self and to others, then experience the full consequences of those choices. We also have to often experience the painful consequences of those actions returning upon us. All this does make us a much stronger and more aware Being than one who has only experienced the smoother and easier path obtained on higher worlds.
Central to the concept of "Free Will" is the Law of Karma, or the Law of Cause and Effect. The Law of Karma is also known as the great Law of Balance. In the process of living, evolving, experimenting and learning, our actions affect others either harmfully or beneficially, thus incurring numerous and often complex debts or credits on our own evolutionary balance-sheet of progress. The Law of Karma requires that the effects which our actions have on others and all other life forms, must always be finally balanced. When we harm others we incur a debt to ourselves as well as to them and likewise when others harm us they incur a debt to themselves as well as to us. Debts for "good" or "bad", whether through ourselves or caused by someone else, must eventually be balanced by both parties. Similarly, when you harm or injure your own Spirit/Self through incorrect living and misuse of your own physical body, you create an imbalance as a Karmaic debt to your Soul. That can only be re-balanced through your achieving an awareness of those incorrect actions and avoiding them in the future. Thus all actions which prove to be of a negative nature must be finally balanced out by those of a positive nature to erase the Karmaic debt. This is something you owe to your Soul/Self, as well as permitting you to eventually ascend up to higher spiritual levels.
The Master Zen Tao: "Do not see Karma only as a plus or minus column in a Divine Accountant's book in which is recorded what you owe to someone because of the wrong that you have done them! It does not work in that way. It is rather a teaching process in which you learn from what you have done. It is you that has created those ripples on the pond of life and they will in turn affect you. The purpose of Karma is not punishment. It is rather a process of balance and education."
On higher spiritual levels there is no judgmental criticism of one person by another. Karma is an objective, automatic, totally dispassionate process, one of rebalancing that which we, or others, have already put out of balance. Only through this great Law of Balancing, or "Cause and Effect", we can truly learn from and experience the results of our actions on others.
From wrong actions taken, wrong effects will flow. We have to then revisit and recreate those sets of circumstances over and over in repeated incarnations until we learn from their ill-effects, eventually choosing the right path. To determine whether we have corrected and overcome our Karmic Debts, tests will be instigated by our Higher Self and repeated until we ourselves have determined that we have fully balanced them through our own acknowledgment, acceptance and assimilation. We alone require that our lessons must be learned thoroughly, it should not be up to others to judge us.
On the positive side, those of our "good" actions, such as showing respect for other life-forms or those "random acts of kindness", will automatically set in motion a positive chain reaction. We magnetically attract to ourselves those "bad" experiences when we feel a need to learn from them. If we have no need for a hard lesson, we shall not attract it. We magnetize to ourselves those good or bad experiences only when we have a need to learn from them.
We must also understand that what we give in the form of energy, creativity or effort (power) to the rest of Creation, will eventually be returned to us tenfold. Likewise, that which we take from Creation in the form of the energy or creativity of others, is a debit, which must ultimately be balanced by our further giving of our own energy in equal amounts in return.
Newly created Ascendant Souls naturally develop a growing awareness of themselves as an individualized entity. As they ascend from primitive dense worlds, the difficulties of survival can lead the newly created Soul to develop a strong independent "Ego/Self", leading to a following ego-centeredness through having been forced to focus on its own personal survival. This strong self-interest usually develops at the expense of others, leading to personal aggression, conflict and to eventual wars, turmoil and strife. However, after a long period of bitter conflict between other competing "Selves" and developing an exhausted state of locked-up confrontation between both sides, where no further gain is to be had, the Soul may begin to see the advantages of undertaking a major change of direction towards a more peaceful and cooperative attitude. This will have the effect of starting the Soul on its upward path of Ascension to eventual unity with the rest of Creation.
It is only by experiencing the effects of our actions and then correcting them, does the evolving Ascendant Soul learn to fully be able to discriminate between "good" and "evil". The concentration down on Third Dimensional Planet Earth by all the Egos intent on self-motivation and self-interest explains why political and social relationships have hitherto dominated so much of Earth's Human thought and group activity. The older and more evolved worlds on the higher planes maintain a single and simple rule of correct social and political behavior, namely: that we avoid doing anything which can be harmful to others - "That we do unto others as only we would have them do unto us", a Universal Law fully accepted on those Higher Worlds.
On the upwards Evolutionary ascent we eventually begin to learn that we are totally inter-linked with all the rest of Creation, with every other living creature and even with every other rock, mineral and plant.
The Master P'taah: "Know that you are not - and never have been separate from your Source. You truly have never been separate from each other. You have never really been separate from all of the Brothers and Sisters you have on countless Planets throughout your Galaxies. You have never been separate from any creature of your Planet. Not separate from your Sun and your Moon; not separate from any leaf, or blade of grass, or flower that blossoms in your garden. You have forgotten, that is all, and in your pain and in your judgment of who you are, you have closed down. You have forgotten that who you are is God/Goddess, smelling the rose of the vibrancy and excitement of this Dimension of Reality."
[The Master P'TAAH of The Pleiades, channeled by Jani King, in The P'taah Tapes: An Act of Faith - Triad Publishers Pty Ltd, Cairns, Queensland, Australia – 1991]
The Development of Human Morality
In the evolutionary process of Ascent that Human Beings go through to reach the perfection of Paradise, the development of Intelligence or the Mind is not the only important element of Evolution. The development of the “Moral Nature” in a Human – that is morality and its subsequent virtues, becomes the most significant attribute of the Human “personality”. Man's mentality may transcend that of his animal cousins, but it is his moral and religious natures that especially distinguish him from the animal world.
Although the Behavioral Scientists of Earth have recently discovered that animals do have a very basic sense of morals, that is of a primitive sense of right and wrong and of even helping another when in distress, most of the selective responses of an animal are limited to the reaction level of behavior. The supposed insight of the higher animals is mostly on a reactive level and usually appears only after the experience of a reaction through trial and error. Man is on the other hand able to exercise scientific, moral, and spiritual insight prior to all exploration or experimentation.
Only a consciously aware Human “Personality” endowed by the Trinity Father truly knows the significance of what it is doing before it does it; only such endowed Personalities possess insight in advance of experience. A Human personality can look before it leaps and can therefore learn from looking as well as from leaping. A non-personality-endowed animal ordinarily learns only by leaping.
As a result of its physical experiences, an animal becomes able to examine the different ways of attaining a goal and to select an approach based on that accumulated experience. But a Human personality is able to also examine the goal itself and pass judgment on its worthwhileness, its value. Animal intelligence can discriminate as to the best means of attaining indiscriminate ends, but a consciously aware and moral Being possesses an insight which enables him to discriminate between good and bad ends as well as between means. He knows what he is doing, why he is doing it, where he is going, and how he will get there. A Moral Being in choosing moral virtue is still exercising intelligence as well.
When Man fails to discriminate between the good and bad moral outcomes of his mortal striving, he finds himself functioning on the animal level of existence. He has failed to avail himself of the superior advantages of that mental acumen, moral discrimination, and spiritual insight which are an integral part of his Cosmic-mind endowment as a personality-endowed Being. In the day-by-day life of Mortal Man, morality virtue is realized by the consistent choosing of good rather than evil, and such choosing ability is evidence of the possession of a true moral nature.
Man's choosing between good and evil can be influenced however, not only positively by the keenness of his moral nature, but also by such negative influences as ignorance, immaturity, and delusion. A sense of proportion is also very much involved in the exercise of moral virtue, because evil may be perpetrated when the lesser is chosen in the place of the greater as a result of a distortion or deception. The art of relative estimation or comparative measurement enters into an important part of the practice of the virtues of the moral realm.
Man's moral nature would be impotent without the art of measurement, which is the discrimination embodied in his ability to scrutinize meanings. Likewise would moral choosing be futile without that Cosmic insight which yields the consciousness of Spiritual values. From the standpoint of intelligence, Man ascends to the level of a Moral Being because he is endowed with a consciously aware personality.
Morality can never be fully advanced by law or force. It is a personal and Free-will matter and must be disseminated by the contagion of contact of morally fragrant persons with those who are less morally responsive, but who are also in some measure desirous of doing the Father's will.
[Based on a text given by a Universal Censor from Uversa in “The Urantia Book”]
Chapter Four:
VIBRATION & DENSITY
The illusion of separateness from the rest of Creation and our Creator arises not only from a strong Earthly pre-occupation with our individual Self and its physical needs, but is further emphasized by the historic existence of a "Frequency Fence" or "Veil" surrounding our "quarantined" Planet. This has totally isolated us from directly contacting and experiencing the higher Spiritual Planes. This Veil has been built up over tens of thousands of years and can be readily seen by those with psychic sight as a dark cloud of negativity surrounding Earth. The Veil is a legacy of all the darkness which has built up, partly through the latent natural self-centeredness in most unevolved souls, but more significantly, through having been brought in by an outside insidious source of evil which has infected some of the outer Universes of Orvonton. However, up to the present ending of the current major Universal Age, the ruling Trinity Hierarchy of Paradise has not up to now ever attempted to remove this surrounding Veil. They appear to see Earth's unique "quarantined" environment as providing many with a unique learning experience on the extremes of negative-positive Duality. It also has the useful function of preventing us with an easy escape to the Higher Realms and thus from learning the lessons we especially came here to experience. For those "Descendant Beings" who have come down from the Central Universes of Havona and Paradise as volunteers, they have themselves made a prior "Life Contract" which has accepted the curtailing restrictions. They also have come down here to learn a powerful lesson from Earth's strong culture of perpetual conflict. From this they often learn useful lessons in their attempts at reform, and the experience can provide them a great strengthening of their Soul against negativity, something they might find useful to deploy in a possible future Grand Creation out in the Great Void.
The "Veil" has thus made it virtually impossible to be aware of, or remember our past lives on the Higher Worlds. Our present dense and low vibration-rate prevents us from seeing the higher Dimensions composed of less dense matter and more widely spaced-out atoms. Fourth Dimensional Beings are therefore totally invisible to us unless they lower their vibration rate down to our own level. Only those who have over many lifetimes developed their powers of "extra-sensory-perception" are normally able to see higher vibrational level Beings or possibly communicate with them.
Occult Science explains that all "Matter" is made up of various groupings and combinations of atoms with their orbiting electrons and protons, all of which oscillate about each other in a positive-negative vibratory movement whilst maintaining a fixed magnetic spacing from each other. All atoms, and the resultant matter that they constitute through their cohesive groupings, vibrate at different frequency rates dependent on their complexity and density; a low frequency promoting a denser grouping, and higher frequencies creating less dense, more spaced-out and refined matter. Within the three main vibrational frequency/density ranges of the Spiritual, Etheric and Physical Planes, Occult Science also identifies seven subdivisions, or intermediate levels:
"The occultist finds that physical matter exists in seven sub-grades or orders of density: Solid; Liquid; Gaseous; Etheric; Super Etheric; Sub Atomic; Atomic. Particles of all these grades enter into the composition of the body, the physical vehicle. The physical body however, has two well-marked divisions; the Dense Body, composed of solids, liquids and gases, and the Etheric Body, or Etheric Double as it is frequently called, consisting of the four finer grades of physical matter. Every solid, liquid and gaseous particle of the physical body is surrounded with an etheric envelope: hence the Etheric Double, as its name implies, is a perfect duplicate of the dense form. In size it projects about one quarter of an inch beyond the skin."
[‘The Etheric Double’ by A.E. Powell, Theosophical Publishing House, London]
Between the Physical and the higher Etheric vibration densities there is an important intermediate level: the Astral Realm, composed of slightly lower-vibration Etheric matter. The Astral Plane is also known as the seat of our Emotional Body, and is usually the first level on which we arrive after the transition we call "Death". As the seat of our emotions, senses and memory, and of our Subconscious mind, it is also the level where we are constantly recording all our thoughts and experiences into the great Celestial Memory-Bank known as the "Akashic Records". Here is the storage point for all our memory-data available for later retrieval by our physical brain. In fact, this is the sole source of all "Memory"; we do not actually store memories within our physical brain matter, but use it only as a communication link to the Akashic Records stored within the Ethers. With the onset of old age, those who have started to lose their interest and attachment to an Earthly life, a part of their brain loses its capacity through lack of use, to "record" incoming events. However, another part of the brain may still be able to "retrieve" longer term memories, through having maintained a greater use of it, those past events which still have an interest for them.
All of the original "patterns" for our Physical body are replicated on the Etheric Plane in the "Etheric Body" as an exact counterpart. This is why, for instance, when a person loses a limb, they often feel it as still being there as a "ghost" limb. Since most illnesses originate in mental or emotional disorder, they first of all manifest in the Etheric Emotional Body before being transmitted down to the Physical Body. Many New Age healing therapies, such as "Radionics" and other forms of Spiritual Healing, apply healing on the Etheric level. As this can be instantly transmitted through the non-physical Ethers, healing can be done on the Physical Plane from any distance or place without physical contact between Healer and Patient. Transmitting a corrective vibrational frequency, such as through Radionics, to the Physical Body can restore the lowered disease frequency to its former vibrational rate, thus replicating the pattern set within the counterpart Etheric Body.
At our dense physical Third-dimensional vibration rate level, our physical perception range, apart from the sense of touch, is limited to a range between the frequencies of sound (16 to 20,000 cycles per second) and the higher visible light-frequency spectrum. Visually, this ranges upwards from red, orange, yellow, green, blue, to the ultra-violet level. We are therefore unable to see any higher-frequency vibrational "matter" outside of this range. This is why we fail to see any living life on our neighbouring Fourth and Fifth Dimensional Planets, or the presence of their visiting space craft, except in those cases where they have chosen to lower their vibration level for our benefit. What we are seeing of their Planets is the basic physical 3rd Dimensional core, even though it is in fact surrounded by higher vibrational planes of Etheric matter and inhabitants.
"The Spirit World has as many distinct planes of existence as an onion has skins, each forming an outer protecting skin to the previous one and providing a means of contacting the experiences which that particular plane has to offer. These planes are co-existent with our physical world, invisible to our slow reacting sense of sight, yet as real as the invisible waves which carry our radio programs.
"As a Spirit descends, plane by plane, into the depths of experience, a body, complete with the organs of sense suitable for manifestation in that particular sphere, has to be donned in order that those senses may respond to the vibration of things comprising that sphere. Without such a garment it would not be found possible either to express oneself or to receive impressions in local surroundings, and the experiences in that particular plane would be fruitless."
"The often-puzzling idea of invisible worlds and Beings being totally invisible and yet interpenetrating us, can be more readily understood if we bear in mind that all "solid" matter is in fact composed of atoms with spaces around them. It is of course, well known that even in the hardest substance no two atoms ever touch one another, the space between two adjacent atoms being in fact enormously larger than the two atoms themselves. Orthodox physical science long ago has posited an Ether which interpenetrates all known substances, the densest solid as well as the most rarefied gas; and just as this Ether moves with perfect freedom between the particles of densest matter, so does Etheric matter interpenetrate it in turn, and moves with perfect freedom among its particles. Thus a Being in the Etheric world might be occupying the same space as a Being living in the Physical world; yet each would be entirely unconscious of the other, and would in no way impede the free movement of the other."
[‘The Etheric Double’ by A.E. Powell, The Theosophical Publishing House, London]
We have had many communications from our Space Visitors explaining the nature of the different vibratory levels. One such communication came through Tuella in her book "Ashtar - A Tribute", in which she attempts to clarify the matter by asking Commander Ashtar of the Ashtar Command in charge of the large fleet of Space Ships surrounding and protecting Planet Earth:
Tuella: "From your statement that you are Etheric, am I to presume that you have evolved beyond the stage of a physical body?"
Ashtar: "Correct. I do not possess a physical casing of the dense type such as yours. I am definitely Etheric, as are all people on other Planets in this Solar System. However, this does not mean that we are invisible to each other, as we are to you under normal circumstances. We see each other and live much as you do, but we do not have this dense physical casing which you possess. The advantages, benefits and comforts of this living are enormous, and the irritations of the fleshly envelope are most uncomfortable. Unless we choose to convert the vibrational frequency of our bodies to one which is visible to your optics, we remain invisible to your people. Nevertheless, highly evolved people, with a good psychic eye as you call it, can sometimes see us in vaporous form, although we may be invisible to other Earthlings in the same location. When your clairvoyants travel in their spiritual bodies to our civilizations on other planets, they see and are able to interpret our lives because they are not using their physical eyes but their astral or psychic sight, to which we are visible just as though we were physical."
Tuella: "I am curious about the nature of Etheric matter. For example, there is one case on record where one of our jet aircraft flew right through a Space Ship, without hitting anything solid whatever. Are your Ships made of a vaporous substance, or are they a different form of Earthly matter?"
Ashtar: "We have all the elements you know on Earth, and many more. The Etheric form of metals differs in its atomic and molecular structure from Earth-made metals. For example, the distance between the nucleus and the orbiting electrons of the Etheric iron is much greater than in physical iron, as you know it on Earth. This permits the atoms of Earthly steel to pass right through the atoms of Etheric steel in such a way that nothing happens to either form of steel. The Etheric form of steel enjoys a higher vibratory rate than Earthly steel and therefore is not apparent to Earthly vision or, if you prefer, physical eyesight.
"Because of our knowledge of Universal Law, our very being consists of a higher level of vibration than you people of Earth. You see, every particle of the Universe consists of molecules whose center contains an atom around which electrons and protons revolve. Each molecule of a different molecular structure vibrates at a different frequency. The inside of a molecule is identical in makeup to the Universe. Planets revolve around Central Suns; Solar Systems around Galaxies; Galaxies, around a great Central Universal Sun. Each molecule vibrates at whatever frequency seems appropriate for our existence.
"As one becomes more spiritual in nature, thinking only of the welfare of others and not of power and greed, the higher the molecules of one's Being will vibrate. As we know in our dimension, it is possible for these molecules to vibrate so rapidly that the frequency becomes pure Light. This is why we call ourselves the "Forces of Light". We depend on the Light from The Source -The Prime Creator, God, for our existence."

Chapter Five:
OUR HIGHER-SELF & TWIN SOULS
The Creator God HERU (Horus of Ancient Egypt with a long connection to our Planet Earth) describes the creation of the original Higher Souls and their Twins:
"When a Creator God out in the Great Void is ready to create an original Soul, he will go to the Absolute and in essence request an egg. In this egg are all of the Divine structures and patterns that are contained within the Absolute, just as when a mother produces a Human egg, her DNA is within that. The original Creator Gods are the only ones who are able to make this request and hold it... Interestingly, just as a woman would have no control over the genetic makeup of the particular egg that she would release, we in a sense have no control over which of those diamond-crystalline forms we draw out from Source. So to us it is a beautiful surprise with each new Soul that we create. Each crystalline structure has a uniqueness that is new and unexpected for us each time. And these crystalline forms, through intent and love and prayer, can be created into individual Souls, each as the originating Higher Self "Monad" Soul. You can also give birth to entire Universes of Matter in this way. To create an entire Universe of Matter, though, would generally require more than two of the Creator Gods. It would in fact take a circle of Creator Gods to pull forth one of these structures and create a Universe with it."
Heru points out that over two-thirds of the original Monad Souls created by the Creator Gods are created as "Twin Souls" - two Beings each representing an aspect of either the Male or Female gender polarity. They always retain an element of their own gender throughout their evolution. The First-born Souls often remain as residents of the highest Planes of Light, and are also known as the "Higher-Self Monads". They will then themselves later give birth to further "Extension Souls", or "Aspects" of themselves, many of which will descend to the Lower Worlds to gain further evolutionary experience. Over time the original Monads become the Celestial Parents and Great Grandparents of a large and growing family of related "Family Soul Mates" living on many different levels of worlds.
HERU: "Twin Flames are born when the Creator Gods and the Cosmic Parents [Monads] decide to create a total Being as Twins. In Human bodies, there are sometimes Twins who are fraternal and sometimes Twins who are identical and who are from the same egg. This would be the case with Twin Souls. They would be created by splitting the original form of an egg. This is done with intent; it is done with great love and reverence... When the Twin Soul is created, the male-female polarity is inserted at that point and remains constant. Oftentimes it can temporarily reverse, where each Soul will take on the opposite sex for an incarnation, but the fundamental gender will always revert to the original...
"Some other Souls are created as Single Souls and there is also a smaller group who are actually created as a Group Soul, wherein you would have multiple Souls that would actually be identical Twins... It is simply a matter of choice. The path of the Singular Soul is no less great than the path of the Twin Soul. There are dynamics and mechanisms, paths of awakening and enlightenment, which happen with a Singular Soul that do not happen with the Twin Soul. Perhaps you could say the dynamics of separation and return for the Singular Soul would be played out not with a Twin, but directly with Prime Creator, or possibly with the Creator Gods/Cosmic Progenitors [Monads]. It is an equally beautiful path, just a different path."
"Prior Creations to our Grand Universe in the Great Void also had rudimentary "Third Dimensions", but they never had self-aware life forms in them at that level. As this was the most complex of all the subsequent Grand Universe Creations and in many ways the grandest of all of them, the Absolute/Prime Creator wanted to be able to experience the totality of this new Creation. Therefore Humans are the eyes, the ears, the fingertips, the nose, and the sense of taste for the Absolute. In an "Unfallen Universe", the Third-dimensional Humans are hard-wired directly to Prime Creator and their experiences are directly fed back to Prime Creator. In the "Fallen Universes" that is not quite so.
"In the scriptures there are references to Humans being the "Crown of Creation", and this is why. Humans are the ultimate complexity, far more complex in their make-up than Angels. They are the ultimate bio-computer, the ultimate sensing machine. Therefore their insatiable desire to experience is hard-wired into all Humans.
"The existence of the Third Dimension is not an aberration or an error, distorted though it may be in this Local Universe. If you look at "fractals": as they branch out and out and out, they get smaller and finer and more complex as they spread out. The Physical Plane is like that, like the fingertips of a fractal. Look at the nerve endings in your hand, how many there are, and how they flower out into so many millions of sites to experience. That is similar to the Third Dimension. Then if you look at the center of the body, there are not those kinds of complexities in nerve endings. And that would be more like the center, or the Higher Dimensions, of Creation.
"So you on this Physical Plane, in Human form, are the nerve endings. You are the perception points for the Creator to experience the Creation. And all that you have ever experienced goes directly back to the Creator. There is much purpose in this, and in a balanced Light Universe, there is great joy in this level of Creation. It is felt that life would not be complete without it. For within every atom and every subatomic particle, there is that direct link with the Absolute Prime Creator. And this is not something that even a Creator God can create. A Creator God can create a Universe, but he or she will do so out of the material that the Absolute Prime Creator has created."
["The Return of Light The Imminent Restoration of Earth And Liberation of Humanity - Revelations from the Creator God Horus" - by Elora Gabriel and Karen Kirschbaum - A Link to the full text is available at the end of Chapter 10]
The original first-born Souls created by the Creator Gods nearest to the Absolute/Prime Creator are Old Souls who have progressed in evolution and wisdom through a succession of Grand Universes, many of which have chosen to come over to our present Grand Universe as residents of Havona and the Paradise Isle. These Beings, considered to be of perfected status within our present Grand Universe, have then parented further "Extension Souls" or lower "Aspects" of themselves to descend down to various levels of the Worlds of Matter as "Descendant Beings". A high proportion of these original Old Souls were initially created by the Creator Gods as Twin Souls, two forever-linked Souls, each one always bearing an inherent element of male or female polarity. These Old Souls often take on the role towards their offspring of a "Higher Self" to provide their "Descendant Being" offspring with a continuous protective oversight during a sojourn on the lower worlds of Matter. They will then constantly supervise all their activities as well as providing intuitive internal messages with any spiritual guidance any higher knowledge they may need. However, they have all undertaken a pledge not to overtly interfere in their offspring's lives, and thus to allow them the full use of the Creator's gift of "Free Will". This allows the offspring to develop their own independent identity and personality without outside interference. To do otherwise would be creating their own negative Karma through an act of interference. The great "Law of Karma" requires that all evolving Souls personally experience the consequences of all their "cause-and-effect" actions, and for them alone to rebalance them. Thus the parenting Higher Selves are only allowed to offer advice when it is specifically requested, and they must never attempt to alleviate or eliminate those hard lessons they may see coming the way of their offspring.
As "Twin Soul" Extension-Souls descend into the lower Worlds of Matter with a growing sense of separation from the Higher Planes, they will increasingly experience a stronger expression of the nature of their inherent Masculine and Feminine Polarity. The Male polarity largely expresses a positive outgoing active force and the Female a contrasting soft inwards spiritual and nurturing force. By experiencing a stronger separation of polarity on lower worlds, they are gradually forced through their inherent desire to return to a co-joined unity, to develop a more thorough balance between the male and female characteristics. Therefore they may often choose at a spiritual level to switch genders for a particular physical incarnation in order to fully experience the qualities of the opposite polarity. This often causes varying difficulties of sexual identity on Earth when a particular Soul has chosen to reincarnate into an "unaccustomed" gender. A Soul of predominately female characteristics incarnating into a male body may thus find they are more attracted to the partnership of another male. Likewise, a predominately male Soul incarnated now as a female, will most likely seek a partnership with another Female. In some cases there may even be an impetus to go through a "change-of-sex" operation, back to a more accustomed gender.
When a Twin-Soul incarnates on a difficult lower physical-level Planet such as Earth, the other Twin often remains behind on a higher Spiritual Plane in order to provide intuitional guidance. There are occasions, however, such as when undertaking an important joint mission on Earth, that Twin-Souls do arrange to share a Third Dimensional incarnation together. The time and place of their first Earthly meeting is always pre-viewed on the Spiritual Plane before the incarnation. When they finally do meet down on Earth they will usually experience an instant and deep recognition, the well-known feeling of "love at first sight", as they intuitively remember their eternal spiritual connection. They may even recognise the scene of their pre-planned Earthly meeting place as they had already previewed it on the Spiritual plane. Such romantic "Love at First Sight" episodes forever touches a fundamental note of Human longing, and is the subject of many of Earth's greatest Love Stories.
If we ever try to attempt to visualize the nature and appearance of an overshadowing "Higher Self", we have been given a very good description by Shirley MacLaine in her book "Dancing In The Light" in which she describes a first meeting with her own Higher Self during a "psychic" exploration with her friend Chris Griscom:
"I breathed deeply into the center of myself as though I were getting my psychic balance. Then a picture swam into my mind, at first diffused, but then very clear. It was absolutely astonishing. I saw the form of a very tall, overpoweringly confident, almost androgynous Human Being. A graceful, folded cream-colored garment flowed over a figure seven feet tall, with long arms resting calmly at its side. Even longer fingers extended from the arms. The energy of the form seemed more masculine than feminine to me. The skin of the Being was ruddy and its hair was long to the shoulders and auburn colored. The face had high cheekbones and a straight, chiseled nose. The eyes were deep, deep blue and the expression was supremely kind, yet strong. It raised its arms in outstretched welcome. I got an Oriental feeling from it, more Oriental than Western. And I had the intuitive feeling that it was extremely protective, full of patience, yet capable of great wrath. It was simple, but so powerful that it seemed to "know" all there was to know. I was flabbergasted at what I saw, and what I felt about it.
"Who are you?" I asked, hardly daring to hear what it would say, nor what to make of this kind of dimensional experience. The Being smiled at me and embraced me!
"I am your Higher Unlimited Self," it said.
"Oh, my goodness," I heard myself say stupidly to it. "Are you really there?"
It smiled again.
"Yes," it said, "I have always been here. I've been here with you since the beginning of time. I am never away from you. I am you. I am your unlimited soul. I am the Unlimited You that guides and teaches you through each incarnation."
"Listen, " I said, "why do you have a form and why does it look like this?"
It smiled again.
"Because," it said, "you need to see me in the form of an Earth-plane dimension. The form of the soul is the form of the human body, in any case. The only difference is that the soul is a form without mass. But if you could see the Light-form of a soul, you would see a head, two arms, a body, and two legs. The soul is high-frequency light without mass. That is the only difference."
"Well, why do you seem so masculine to me?" I asked.
"I only seem more masculine than feminine because I am powerful. The energy of the soul is powerful, but it is androgynous. That is to say there is a perfect balance between the positive energy, which is male, and the negative energy which is female, or yin (feminine) and yang (masculine). The masculine positive energy is thrusting and active. The feminine negative energy is receiving and acceptive. Both are equally necessary to achieve life. One cannot operate without the other."
The image of Higher Self stood calm and centered. I had the impression that it wouldn't assert itself unless I motivated it to do so. I looked out of the window at a tree outside. It was swaying in the breeze.
"Listen," I said, "if I asked you to help me stop the movement of a tree, could we do it?"
"Try me," said Higher Self.
"Okay," I said. "That tree outside. Let's stop it from swaying."
"Very well," said Higher Self. "Feel my power become your power. Know that together we can accomplish anything."
I tuned in to this energy of my image of Higher Self and melded with it.
"Now," it said, "ask the tree for permission to control its movement."
"Ask the tree for permission?" I asked, suddenly becoming aware of the more refined subtleties of karmic interaction.
"Why, certainly," said Higher Self. "All life must work in harmony, balance, and respect for all other life. There can be no abuse of power without reaping consequence. You will hear the tree respond to you. You will know how it feels about it."
"Trees can feel?" I asked.
"Of course," said Higher Self. "All life vibrates with feeling. And the natural state of feeling is love. The state of love is achieved by simply being. Nature is a manifestation of the state of simple beingness. It just is. And that which is, in its purest sense, is perfect balance."
Shirley, having then successfully stopped the tree swaying with the help of her Higher Self, continues:
I looked up at Higher Self in my mind. The arms came down gently. "You see?" it said. "You did that. You can use your energy for anything. But you need to recognize me in order to do it."
"Then what is the difference between you and God?" I asked.
"None," it said. "I am God, because all energy is plugged into the same source. We are each aspects of that Source. We are all part of God. We are all individualized reflections of the God Source. God is us and we are God."
"And you are me."
"Precisely."
"Then does everyone have a Higher Unlimited Self of their own?"
"Exactly," said Higher Self. "And each Higher Self is in touch with every other Higher Self. All unlimited souls resonate in harmony with each other. The reason you do not recognize that truth on the Earth plane is because you are not in touch with the individual soul energy of your Higher Selves. But you will get there because there is no other place to go to achieve peace. Peace on the outside comes from peace on the inside. Peace on the inside comes from understanding that we are all God".

Chapter Six:
THE LEARNING PLANET
Many people living on Earth believe it to be a place of perfection. But Earth is not a place of perfection; it is a Planet of accelerated deep learning, a place that is probably the most demanding and testing in the entire scheme of evolution. Acceptance of this fact, reinforced by an understanding of our purpose in being here, can make life much easier and help to ensure that we gain the most evolutionary benefit from Earth's hard lessons. Planet Earth has experienced some of the harshest and most difficult of lessons, largely as a result of being an isolated dense-physical world long quarantined from the Higher Dimensions. It has thus provided a prime opportunity for the Dark Forces to seize control, as they have always sought any chance to take over a weakened subject within our Galaxy. Over time the Forces of Darkness have thus been able to establish in our area of weakness to negativity an isolating "Frequency Fence". This has made it easier for them to control us, our isolation keeping us unaware of the Higher Dimensions or more advanced worlds. Only during sleep time have we been able to escape upwards through the Veil in our Astral Body to seek guidance, instruction and spiritual refreshment on the Higher Planes. On our return next morning to Earth, we usually forget all those nocturnal Spiritual Plane experiences, although they are still retained within our subconscious memory and can subtly influence our further daily actions.
The "forgetfulness" induced by the Veil does force us to focus down here on the many inherent faults within our makeup. Those faults often express themselves as various degrees of aggression, lack of kindness or intolerance towards those we consider either below us or against us. Such inherent faults exist to a certain degree within all evolving Humans and traces of them can remain buried even at the highest Spiritual levels. At those levels they may not be readily evident, but they can soon emerge at the dense physical 3D level when presented with particularly difficult circumstances.
Although the "Veil" interposed between the Physical World and the Higher Planes has made life down here all the more difficult, its existence is nonetheless accepted by us on the Higher Spiritual levels before incarnating, as part and parcel of our "Life Contract" of our learning or teaching mission on Earth. We may even benefit from it, as is further explained by Tendor, a Spirit Guide from the Higher Spheres:
"If incarnating spirits on Earth could carry with them even a faint recollection of the joys and beauties of the Spiritual Sphere it would make it impossible for them to remain in tenancy of a physical body. To drink deep from the cup of experience it is necessary to contact life in its lowest form of manifestation. In order to do this you have to slow down your vibrations to a very slow rate and come under the cumbersome laws which govern that form of Matter. To one who remembered what life really is like on the Spiritual Plane, the ache to return would be so intolerable that no Spirit could hold down an Earthly body. It is a merciful provision of God that in such a harsh world memories are temporarily veiled".
["Full Cycle" by Ripley Webb - A link to the full text of this book is available at the end of Book I ]
Our various philosophies and religions here on Earth often provide us with contradictions and complexities. For example, Buddhism and many Occult philosophies suggest that our world of individuality, separateness and strife is simply an "illusion" from which we must "free" ourselves. But if so, then it is an illusion which must nevertheless appear real to us if we are to learn from it. For example, as we watch a drama unfold on television we may well try to remain detached, reminding ourselves that "it's only a story"; but by maintaining such detachment we are likely to gain no benefit from the experience or moral of the story. It is possible to learn by reading stories or observing enactments of the lives of others, but we can only really do this through our full emotional involvement with those events portrayed, entering into the personalities involved and embracing their predicaments, their hopes and their failures.
The apparent "contradiction" between illusion and reality is paralleled by another contradiction often argued here on Earth: the nature of "Good" and "Evil". In the sense that all is learning, all is evolution, there is no evil, for it is precisely through the experiencing good and bad alternatives that we fully learn to choose the "Highest Wisdom". In this sense there is no good or evil, only evolution, and the learning, experience and wisdom which it imparts.
But to us here on Earth, a possible definition of "Evil" would be defined as the "path of selfishly motivated interest", of pursuing one's own benefit at the expense or harm of others. This leads to exploitation and conflict in our relationships with one another. This equally applies to our ecological abuse of Mother Earth, and also the Plant, Animal and Mineral Kingdoms, which many of us see as existing purely for our personal exploitation and gratification.
The "Path of Good" could be defined as placing "Self", not above, nor below others, but as a true equal:"Respect and treat others just as you would have them treat and respect you in return". And this should apply equally to our treatment of all other created life-forms. The worm's life may be unimportant to you, just as your life is incomprehensible to the worm; but the worm's life is very important to the worm, just as yours is to you. From a true recognition of the need to achieve equality with all of created life, we may then develop a ruling behavioural code as: Respect for Others and of giving unconditional Service to Others. This leads us to giving out Unconditional Love, wherein we give willingly to another without a selfishly motivated thought of getting anything in return. This is always the mark of a Higher Spiritual Being.
"Good" and "Evil"' are very real to us here on Earth, and must always to a certain extent remain so as a part of our learning process. On the other hand we must constantly strive to aim at following the Universal Law of correct conduct: "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you".
Earth is a Planet of learning, not a Planet of perfection. But its imperfections are of our own making and it is therefore within our power, individually and collectively, to rectify them.
The Master Zen Tao: "This Earth is a very special place. You have been given the supreme gifts of the Godhead: Divinity, Creativity, and Free Choice. You are, in essence, "Gods in the Making" and this Earth is a School for Gods. You are highly privileged to incarnate on Her, to be a part of the School of Earth and to advance your spiritual consciousness through the exercise of those Cosmic talents. There are many Beings on other Planets who are not permitted to achieve consciousness to the same degree. You may now see why Earth is looked upon with envy by the other Planets in the Solar System, for they do not all possess that high potential. You have, in fact, the potential and the destiny to outstrip every other plane of consciousness within this Solar Body if only you could but harness your Being and direct it with wisdom and love."
[The Master ZEN TAO, channeled through the Ramala Centre, Glastonbury.]
Chapter Seven:
DEATH & REVIEW
On the higher Spiritual Planes the process of Evolution takes place as an unbroken continuity of conscious awareness. At the Earth level however, the difficulties of Third-dimensional Earth life, and the physical aging of the dense Earthly body, place limitations on the length of time during which we can tolerate the dense Physical Plane. This requires that we eventually need to physically "pass on" to spend a relatively longer period on a Higher Spiritual Plane. Here we can review our Earth life's experience and receive much needed spiritual refreshment before possibly returning to another physical incarnation. Some of us may find that we need to repeatedly learn from and correct the many faults within our makeup which is possible only at the dense physical Third-Dimensional level. This cycle is well-known as the process of Reincarnation.
The Spirit Guide Tendor: "Earth is a school, and you learn even when making mistakes. If you face a test and fail, you push yourself to take it again. So if you have lessons to learn in one life which you fail to learn, then in another life you will present yourself with those lessons again; for you cannot progress - and all life is an upward progression, an upward spiral - until you have learned those lessons.
"You have a test to pass, one which you have set yourself to accomplish. When you pass depends upon the effort you make. If you do not pass the test in one experience you will have other chances of doing so. You will always find fresh opportunities opening out before you. In time you will accomplish what you set out to do, however many distractions may deter you from your object. The power of the Spirit can and will win in the end. It is like a powerful magnet drawing you on. It is the effort that counts; the responsibility is yours, no other can accomplish your mission for you. The scales of Divine Justice are accurately balanced, there must be nothing owing if you are to progress."
["Full Cycle" by Ripley Webb. A link to the full book text is available at the end of our Book I ]
During our "Life's review" on the Spiritual Plane following physical death, the next incarnation is planned in advance with the help of one's Spiritual Guides and Masters. With their close consultation, we make a thorough review of our past faults and weaknesses from which we may need to make plans to return to physical life at the Third-Dimensional level. When back in an Earthly life, those previously pre-planned events to occur as important lessons can come upon us quite unexpectedly. Some can be quite traumatic experiences, which usually causes the Earthly personality to roundly blame the "Fates" or even God for its "misfortune". And yet all of these events have been previously planned to manifest at a particular opportune time by the Soul itself along with its Spiritual Guides.
When about to undertake an incarnation on Earth, the Soul makes a "Life Contract" between itself, its Higher Self and the Spiritual Hierarchy to live an Earth life of an agreed duration in order to correct and learn from those inherent character weaknesses. If the incarnated soul subsequently finds the Earth lessons too difficult and decides to terminate life prematurely, such as by suicide, the lessons are thus not only avoided, but are deemed to be postponed until another reincarnation can be arranged. The Soul's Higher Spiritual Self will require once again going through the lengthy process of death and rebirth in order to live out those remaining years left within the former "Life Contract". This explains why many of us instinctively have a deep-rooted feeling that suicide is not a good road to take. Not only is it considered on higher levels as a betrayal of one's Higher-Self's "Evolutionary Plan", but as a misuse of all the Heavenly support and facilities made available to us by Mother Earth and the Heavenly Realms.
The Master Zen-Tao: "The Drama of Life has a purpose: It is to teach, to evolve our consciousness. Everything that happens on the Plane of Earth happens not by chance, but because we have attracted it to ourselves through our behavior in this or in past lives, and have consciously accepted the challenge it represents. It is widely understood that the concept of "Free Will" allows us to choose how we will react to given circumstances; it is important to realize however, that we also exercise Free Will in our choice of the challenges we agree to undertake during each incarnation. Through "Free Will" we choose our challenges and lessons; through Free Will we choose how we react to them.
"It is difficult for those who do not accept the concept of Reincarnation, of life after life after life, to see how suffering can be regarded as an evolutionary process. But when Reincarnation is accepted as an integral part of one’s view of Evolution, it is easy to understand that we bring into being with each new physical body all that we have created in other Earth lives, and on other levels of existence beyond the Physical Plane of Earth. We bring with us not only our spiritual wisdom, but also the sins of the past, the lessons we have not learnt, the Karma we owe both to ourselves and to others. So as we advance through the life which we now lead, we will automatically attract to ourselves the lessons we have chosen to learn, the Karma we have chosen to transmute.
"Thus there is no such thing as a tragedy by chance. Everything that happens on the Plane of Earth has reason, has purpose. We live in a world in which many people apparently experience great tragedies. Tragedy comes to people either because they chose it for their destiny path or because it will present them with a lesson in life they have yet to learn. Tragedy is the working-out of cause and effect; as we experience the Effects, so we learn to change the Cause. The experience of Tragedy also teaches sympathy and compassion, the ability to accept and absorb the minor imperfections in others, that they may in turn do the same for us.
"If there is one point which I would like to emphasize now, it is this: that suffering is chosen by yourself. It is not given to you by your Creator as a punishment. It is chosen by you, willingly, as a lesson to learn, as a lesson which your Soul needs at this particular point in its evolution."
Since Death is such an integral part of Evolution and the process of Reincarnation, it is important that we develop a deeper understanding of its process, so that we can accept it without fear, and indeed accept it joyfully.
There have been many accounts on Earth of people who have physically "died" and who have then miraculously "returned to life", even after having undergone certified clinical death. These are known as "Near-Death Experiences" and many have been documented. All the experiences recounted show a remarkable consistency in certain fundamental respects: the sense of passing through a long and bright tunnel with the presence of a great Light at the end of it, and the final emergence into that "Light" with strong feelings of spiritual warmth and love. Many also report experiencing a remarkable clarity of thought, of seeing a rapid "panoramic memory" recollection of their entire life. Many of these "near-death experiences" have been detailed in Raymond Moody's book "Life After Life", proving that death is not the eternal blackout which many people assume would follow.
The time and place of death to occur is always known well beforehand by our Spiritual Guides on the Spiritual Planes. Our relatives and former friends who have already passed over to those Planes are always alerted of an impending "transition", and will usually be on hand to greet the new arrival.
At the critical moment of death we are assisted by an "Angel of Death", also known as the "Angel of Mercy", who has been charged with the special responsibility of cutting the silver "Life-cord", an Etheric cord of Light that permanently connects our physical body with our Higher Spiritual Bodies during our lifetime here on Earth.
Ripley Webb’s "Full Cycle", a book based on channeling from his Spiritual Guide Tendor, describes an Angel of Mercy attending the passing of an elderly lady named Martha, at her death-bed on Earth. This is witnessed by Michael, who has himself recently "passed-over", and here accompanied by his own Spiritual Guide, Raphael, when they descended together in their Etheric bodies down to Earth level to view the event.
"The centre of the room was occupied by a bed on which lay the figure of a woman of about seventy years. Round the bed were a doctor, a nurse, and a man and woman who were presumably relatives of the dying woman. The occupant of the bed would sometimes murmur a few words and the light of her eyes showed that there was little wrong with her brain. Her busy fingers were fumbling at the counterpane.
"As if sensing Michael's thoughts Raphael spoke. "She is not really ill, it is just old age. Her time has come. Look, see who has entered the door." Michael glanced at the doorway and saw an Angelic Being standing there so dignified and stately that he guessed it could not be an ordinary spirit. "This is an Angel of Mercy," explained Raphael. "He comes personally to perform the cutting of the life-cord which keeps a spirit chained to its Earthly body. It is a duty which God only entrusts to advanced Beings such as he. He knows God's will and how and when to perform the function." Then he added, "See, the old lady has sensed his arrival."
"As if she were indeed aware of the entrance of the Angel, the old lady raised her head slightly and gazed fixedly at the door. Then her face creased and tears began to pour down her cheeks. "I don't want to die, doctor, I don't want to die. Don't let me die." The querulous voice ended in a wail of self-pity. The doctor took her hand in his and murmured the things he would be expected to say at such a time. He knew that nothing could be done and the end was approaching.
"Reassured by the gesture she looked again at the door. Following her gaze Michael saw the features of the Angel change and become transfigured, as a glow of love was projected like a beam of light towards the bed. The old lady's lips began to move as she tried to tell the others of what she saw, but the life-force was ebbing fast from the frail body. The Angel held out his hand to her. As if obeying the call the woman in a sudden access of strength raised herself into a sitting position, her eyes suddenly alight. In the distance could be heard music from a spiritual source, relayed from the Higher Realms.
"Look behind the Angel" said Raphael. There behind the radiant figure was a little crowd of spirits, all with welcoming smiles. They were friends or relatives of the woman making the transition, who had come to aid her transition and greet her in the new world.
"Something attracted Michael's attention to the bed once more. A thin wisp of vapour began to weave its way out of the top of the dying woman's head and hung there in a little cloud. Then the body dropped back suddenly and the hands dropped lifelessly upon the coverlet. Very soon after, a form, a replica of the mortal body, was elevated to a position horizontally extended above the physical body and facing downwards. This wraith-like form gradually assumed a denser condition as the etheric forces were released from the physical body and built themselves into the spirit body.
"When the process was completed, the etheric body assumed an upright posture at the foot of the bed. Here the Angel advanced and placed his hands upon the eyes of the etheric form, then stepped aside. The life-cord still connected physical and etheric bodies but it was attenuated and was scarcely visible. Martha was free and in her new freedom was advancing to meet those who had come to fetch her. Exclamations of pleased surprise came from her lips. She began to respond to the greeting of these old friends, the existence of some of whom she had almost forgotten. The little group began to move away.
"The Angel has not cut the life-cord yet," observed Michael.
"No," replied Raphael. "He will not do that yet, it would be a shock to the spirit. He will guard the remains for a little time before he performs that last office."
"The Angel now turned towards the retreating group and stretched out his arms towards them, obviously concentrating his thoughts upon them. Instantly the Earthly room vanished and after a momentary period of darkness, they all found themselves in the grounds of the hospital on the Etheric/Astral level. There ahead of them were the old lady and her friends now approaching the entrance to the main building. She gave a yawn. Meeting friends had tired her for some time past and she felt that this strange experience must also prove tiring. So she was tired. Raphael stepped forward and spoke to the visitors. They seemed to respect his authority and made their excuses. A nurse came out of the building and to her Raphael gave charge of the new arrival."

We have to appreciate that the Spiritual Plane on which we first arrive after "death" depends on our spiritual progress and attainment made whilst on Earth. Most Earth persons of moderate spiritual development first of all arrive on the Astral Plane, the next level above the Physical Plane. This largely reproduces, especially at the lower levels, conditions as they appeared to us on Earth, although there are some subtle differences reflecting the new and higher Astral vibratory rate. The colors of Nature are more brilliant, scents of flowers are stronger, and the Soul now has a sharper and more alert awareness of all the surrounding beauty. The body now feels lighter, as there is no longer the heavy gravitational pull of Earth. One can very soon even develop the ability to transport oneself physically above the ground, from one place to another by the power of thought alone.
The newly arrived Soul may be surprised to find that he or she is being taken by a Spiritual Guide, or a Relative greeting one, to an Etheric counterpart of one's Earthly imagined "dream home". Through constantly imaging a mental "ideal" on the Physical Plane, one is unconsciously creating a mental "counterpart" on the higher Astral and Etheric Planes made up of Etheric material. By employing that person's Earthly thought-form as a guide, Heavenly Plane Spiritual Assistants can, in advance, shape the less dense and more malleable Etheric Matter into a concrete Etheric representation of the original Earthly image.
One of many After-Death experiences related through a channeled transmission was given by the former High Church Cleric, Monsignor Robert Hugh Benson, son of Edward White Benson, former Archbishop of Canterbury, shortly after his death in 1914, to his former friend on Earth, Anthony Borgia. This was published in Anthony Borgia's book, "Life After Death in the Unseen Worlds". Monsignor Benson recounts that after his "death", and whilst still in his Earth body, he was joined by an old colleague, a priest, who greeted him warmly:
"He told me to take hold of his arm firmly, and to have no fear whatever. I could if I wished, close my eyes. I at once experienced a sensation of floating such as one has in physical dreams, though this was very real and quite unattended by any doubts of personal security.
"After a short while our progress seemed to slacken somewhat, and I could feel that there was something very solid under my feet. I was told to open my eyes. I did so. What I saw was my old home that I had lived in on the Earth-plane; my old home - but with a difference. It was improved in a way that I had not been able to do to its Earthly counterpart. The house itself was rejuvenated, as it seemed to me from a first glance, rather than restored; but it was the gardens around it that attracted my attention more fully.
"They appeared to be quite extensive, and they were in a state of the most perfect order and arrangement. By this I do not mean the regular orderliness that one is accustomed to see in public gardens on the Earth-plane, but that they were beautifully kept and tended. There were no wild growths or masses of tangled foliage and weeds, but the most glorious profusion of beautiful flowers so arranged as to show themselves to absolute perfection.
"Of the flowers themselves, when I was able to examine them more closely, I must say that I never saw either their like or their counterpart upon Earth, of many that were there in full bloom. Numbers were to be found, of course, of the old familiar blossoms, but by far the greater number seemed to be something entirely new to my rather small knowledge of flowers. It was not merely the flowers themselves and their unbelievable range of superb colourings that caught my attention, but the vital atmosphere of eternal life that they threw out, as it were, in every direction. And as one approached any particular group of flowers, or even a single bloom, there seemed to pour out great streams of energizing power which uplifted the soul spiritually and gave it strength, while the heavenly perfumes they exhaled were such as no soul clothed in its mantle of flesh has ever experienced. All these flowers were living and breathing, and they were, so my friend informed me, incorruptible."

Those on Earth who were not aware of or opposed to the concept of an "After Life" may indeed need some convincing after their physical death that they are now in fact "dead" in Earthly terms. It is usually arranged for such persons to arrive in surroundings closely imitating those that they left on Earth. It may take those that arrive on the lower Astral Realm quite a while to accept that they are in fact physically "dead", particularly since everything around them appears more or less as it was on Earth. Although they may perceive a slightly different quality of light and color in their new surroundings, they usually tend to dismiss this as some minor anomaly. Here they are permitted for a time to pursue their life in surroundings more or less familiar to themselves. When after time they eventually come round to recognizing the truth of their new "reality", they begin to develop a desire to move up to a higher Plane. At such a time they will always have the immediate help of their Spiritual Guides, who have been waiting patiently for this to happen.
Those of Earth who have considerably lowered their vibrational rates by selfish uncaring and damaging behavior towards others, or who have abused their bodies through drug-use and other damaging practices, may find themselves unfortunately descending to even lower Astral regions, the traditional Biblical "Hell". There they will arrive in a dark world consonant with their spiritual development. These bleak and grim Planes can range from cold, gray foggy wastelands, down to the lowest dark pits of depravity where evil deeds are constantly being re-enacted, over and over again until the Soul finally rejects them and urgently wishes to move up to higher levels. The Soul's Higher Self may have decided that its lower personality needs to dwell in these conditions for some time in order to drastically correct their former behaviour. Once the Soul has made the commitment to move upwards, its Spiritual Guides will always be instantly available to assist it to gently move upwards, step by step, to a higher Plane.
The Lower Astral Plane is also made up of many other slightly less dark, but nonetheless grey areas, where people of little spiritual development or aspiration can live within their own subjectively re-created conditions similar to those of their former life on Earth. Many of these souls still persist in remaining unaware or unwilling to accept that they are physically dead. They relive life as they did on Earth in all their former dull and bleak surroundings, pursuing as much as possible their old habits and lifestyle. They still feel the need to consume "food" which they no longer need, continuing going to "work" every day, and even using Astral "money" which has been specially created to perpetuate their illusion. However, they are soon made aware that everything around them seems to decay and melt away rather rapidly, including their money; this is "engineered" to teach them to eventually relinquish their over-riding attachment to material possessions and to seek an upward move to more spiritual levels.
After the newly arrived Souls have assimilated their transition to the Spiritual Worlds, they are then shown scenes from their own "Life Story" on Earth. These are derived from the "Akashic Records", the great Astral/Etheric Memory Bank which constantly records all actions and events that have ever taken place. Thus the Soul can review in panoramic multi-dimensional sight and sound, all the significant episodes of the recently completed Earth incarnation. Through reviewing their past mistakes, personality faults and any unkindliness they may have made to others whilst on Earth, they can then identify those soul weaknesses that need to be further corrected.
This "Life Review" process is well described in Ripley Webb's book "Full Cycle", following Earth-based Michael's recent death and review of his Earth life through the Akashic Records. He is taken by his Spiritual Guide, Tendor, to a special building on the Spiritual Plane somewhat similar to a small movie house/cinema, where a large screen at one end now becomes illuminated:
"The picture assumed movement and resolved itself into a form of symbolism quite impossible to translate into words. The mind of Spirit however found it easier to attach a meaning to the symbols and Michael was able to grasp the inner meaning of all the major events which built up the sequence of his existence. Little events of seemingly small importance now assumed a larger character by reason of their effect on himself or others.
"He became aware of a voice that provided a running commentary on the portrayal. At first he thought it must be a part of the picture, an accompanying sound track, giving in thought-language the symbology of the events. The voice was critical beyond measure; he began to wonder who this person was who took it upon himself to judge him in such forthright terms. No one had warned him of this. His heart smote him suddenly. The awesome thought came to him that this might be some manifestation of God's anger with him...
"He summoned his courage and faced the picturisation of his past in a spirit of determination. To his astonishment he discovered that the voice was not external to himself but was coming from within his own being. As if following his train of thought the voice broke in, "It is the voice of Conscience, your Conscience." The thought stunned him. It was not God who spoke, not some superior accusing Being judging him from the lofty seat of omnipotence. It was his own Self, his own Spirit speaking from the highest pinnacle of its consciousness, from the pure essence of his being. He shrank into his seat as the terrible significance of the fact burst into his mind. Never in his wildest dreams had he envisioned his ultimate judge as himself. Not the easy-going self-excusing mind of the human makeup, but the most implacable part of his being, the all-knowing Centre of his own super-consciousness. How could he excuse himself before the terrible indictment of his own Spirit?
"In no uncertain terms the voice went on to emphasize his weaknesses and to mark the points in his career where his foolishness or ignorance or lack of effort had influenced other lives to their detriment. Again it would indicate where his failure to seize an opportunity had resulted in some unhappy consequence to others, which he might have aided them to avoid had he been less wrapped up in himself. The voice was fair, it gave him credit for what he had accomplished. But there was no doubt which way the Scales of Justice were balanced."

Once we have reviewed our past life and seen all our faults with the clearer and more objective spiritual vision available on the Higher Dimensions, we are now in a position, with the help of our High Self and other Spiritual Guides, to assess which failed lessons need to be re-learnt, and to review any further lessons that need to be gone through.
But unless Karma requires an immediate return to Earth, such as after a suicide, most Souls spend a considerable time refreshing their spiritual aspects on the Astral and Etheric Planes above Earth. For many Souls this can take up to two hundred years or more, sometimes extending to over a thousand years or more in Earth's time. Those Ascendant Mortals who are at this point ready to move on upwards may alternatively be taken up to one of the many "Mansion Worlds' which specialize in training for achievement of a full Spiritual status. From there they may eventually progress on to the Headquarters World of their Local Universe of Nebadon, and then on to the Headquarters Sphere of Uversa of the Seventh Superuniverse, Orvonton, thus to eventually reach the perfected Central Universe of Havona and even possibly the Isle of Paradise.
During the period of spiritual refurbishment between incarnations on the Etheric Planes above Earth, there is ample opportunity for study and a general widening of consciousness. These vast Spiritual Worlds can either be fully explored, or attendance made to the numerous Halls of Learning to acquire new skills and knowledge. There is also plenty of opportunity for service to others by undertaking such tasks as assisting those who have recently come over from the Earth Plane to adjust to their new Spiritual home.
We can get an insight into all the great opportunities for acquiring new skills and knowledge on the Spiritual Plane from the following description by Monsignor Benson in "Life After Death in the Unseen Worlds", shortly after his arrival in the Heavenly Realms:
"As we approached the city, it was possible for us to gather some idea of its extensive proportions. It was, I hardly need say, totally unlike anything I had yet seen. It consisted of a large number of stately buildings each of which was surrounded with magnificent gardens and trees, with here and there pools of glittering water, clear as crystal, yet reflecting every shade of colour known to Earth, with many other tints to be seen nowhere but in the realms of spirit.
"It must not be imagined that these beautiful gardens bore the slightest resemblance to anything to be seen upon the Earth-plane. Earthly gardens at their best and finest are of the very poorest by comparison with these that we now beheld, with their wealth of perfect colourings and their exhalations of heavenly perfumes. To walk upon the lawns with such a profusion of nature about us held us spellbound. I had imagined that the beauty of the countryside, wherein I had had all my experience of spirit lands so far, could hardly be excelled anywhere.
"My mind had reverted to the narrow streets and crowded pavements of Earth; the buildings huddled together because space is so valuable and costly; the heavy, tainted air, made worse by streams of traffic; I had thought of hurry and turmoil, and all the restlessness of commercial life and the excitement of passing pleasure. I had no conception of a city as the light of day is from black night. Here were fine broad thoroughfares of emerald green lawns in perfect cultivation, radiating, like the spokes of a wheel from a central building which, as we could see, was the hub of the whole city. There was a great shaft of pure light descending upon the dome of this building, and we felt instinctively that in this temple we could send up our thanks to the Great Source of all, and that there we should find none other than the Glory of God in Truth.
"The buildings were not of any great height as we would measure or compare with Earthly structures, but they were for the most part extremely broad. It is impossible to tell of what materials they were composed because they were essentially spirit fabrics. The surface of each was as smooth as marble, yet it had the delicate texture and translucence of alabaster, from which each building sent forth, as it were into the adjacent air, a stream of light of the palest shade of colouring. Some of the buildings were carved with designs of foliage and flowers, and others were left almost unadorned, as far as any smaller devices were concerned, relying upon their semi-classical nature for relief. And over all was the Light of Heaven shining evenly and uninterruptedly, so that nowhere were there dark places.
"The city was devoted to the pursuit of learning, to the study and practise of the arts, and to the pleasures of all in this realm. It was exclusive to none, but free for all to enjoy with equal right. Here it was possible to carry on so many of those pleasant and fruitful occupations that had been commenced on the Earth-plane. Here, too, many souls could indulge in some agreeable diversion which had been denied them for a variety of reasons whilst they were incarnate.
"The first Hall that my guide Edwin took us into was concerned with the Art of Painting. This Hall was of very great size and contained a long gallery, on the wall of which were hanging every great masterpiece known to man. They were arranged in such a way that every step of Earthly progress could be followed in proper order, beginning with the earliest times and so continuing down to the present day. Every style of painting was represented, gathered from all points of the Earth.....
"In other parts of this same building were rooms wherein students of art could learn all that there is to be learnt. The joy of these students is great in their freedom from their Earthly restrictions and bodily limitations. Here instruction is easy, and the acquisition and application of knowledge is equally facile to those who wish to learn. Gone are all the struggles of the student in the surmounting of Earthly difficulties both of the mind and of the hands, and progress towards proficiency is consequently smooth and rapid...
"We then passed on to another immense building. This was the Hall of Literature, and it contained every work worthy of the name. It interior was divided into smaller rooms than in the Hall of Painting. Edwin led us into one spacious apartment which contained the histories of all the Nations upon the Earth-plane. To anyone who has a knowledge of Earthly history, the volumes with which the shelves of this section of the great library were filled, would prove illuminating. The reader would be able to gain, for the first time the truth about the history of his country. Every word contained in these books was the literal truth. Concealment is impossible, because nothing but the truth can enter these realms....
"The Hall of Music also followed the same broad system as the other Halls of the Arts. The Library contained books dealing with music as well as the scores of vast quantities of music that had been written on Earth by composers who had now passed into spirit, or by those who were still upon Earth. What are called upon Earth 'Master-Works', were fully represented among the musical scores upon the shelves, and I was interested to learn that there was hardly a work that had not since been altered by the composer himself since coming into spirit...
"The many types of musical instrument so familiar on Earth were to be seen in the College of Music, where students could be taught to play upon them. And here again, where dexterity of the hands is so essential in the task of gaining proficiency, here it is never arduous or wearisome, and moreover, so much more rapid than upon the Earth. As students acquire a mastery over their instrument they can join one of the many orchestras that exist here, or they can limit their performance to giving it to their many friends.....
"We had observed that the Hall of Music stood in grounds far more extensive than those we had already seen, and the reason was soon made clear to us. At the rear of the Hall was the great Centre of Concert Performances. It consisted of a vast amphitheatre like a great bowl sunk beneath the level of the ground, but it was so large that its real depth was not readily apparent. The seats that were farthest away from the performers were exactly upon ground level. Immediately surrounding these seats were masses of the most beautiful flowers of every possible hue, with a grassy space beyond, while the whole area of this outdoor temple of music was encompassed by a magnificent plantation of tall and graceful trees. Although the seating arrangements were upon such an expansive scale, much more so than would be at all practicable upon Earth, yet there was no sense of being too far from the performers, even in the farthest seats - our vision or hearing is not so restricted in its scope in the Spirit world as it is upon Earth.
"Edwin suggested that we might like to hear a concert of the Spirit world, but suggested we take up a position a short distance away from the theatre for reasons which would later become apparent. And so, we seated ourselves on the grass at some distance from the actual amphitheater. I wondered whether we should be able to hear very much music so far away, but our friend assured us that we should. And, indeed, we were joined by numbers of other people at that very moment, who, doubtless, had come for the same purpose as ourselves. The whole place, which was empty when Edwin had first brought us in, now contained many people, some strolling about, and others, like us, seated contentedly on the grass. We were in a delightful spot, with the trees and flowers and pleasant people all about us, and never have I experienced such a feeling of real, genuine enjoyment as came upon me at this moment...
"Edwin then suggested that we stroll over to the amphitheatre and look down over the seats once again. We did so, and to our astonishment we found that the whole vast amphitheatre was packed with people, where there was not a soul to be seen but a short time before. The musicians were in their places awaiting the entrance of their conductor, and this great audience had arrived as if by magic - or so it seemed. As it was apparent that the concert was about to begin, we returned to Edwin at once. In answer to our question as to how the audience had arrived so suddenly and unperceived, he said that in the case of this concert, the organiser had merely to send out their thoughts to people at large who were particularly interested in such performances, and they forthwith assembled. He told us that was soon as we had shown our interest and desires in these concerts, we should establish a link, and we should find these thoughts reaching us whenever they were emitted.
"We could, of course, see nothing of the performers from where we were situated, and so when a hush came upon all around us, we were thus sufficiently informed that the concert was to begin. The orchestra was composed of some two hundred musicians, who were playing upon instruments that are well-known to Earth, so that I was able to appreciate what I heard. As soon as the music began I could hear a remarkable difference from what I had been accustomed to hearing on the Earth-plane. The actual sounds made by the various instruments were easily recognizable as of old, but the quality of tone was immeasurably purer, and the balance and blend were perfect. The work to be played was of some length, I was informed, and would be continued without a break.
"The opening movement was of a subdued nature as regards its volume of sound, and we noticed that the instant the music commenced a bright light seemed to rise up from the direction of the orchestra until it floated, in a flat surface, level with the topmost seats, where it remained as an iridescent cover to the whole amphitheatre. As the music proceeded, this broad sheet of light grew in strength and density, forming, as it were, a firm foundation for what was to follow. Presently, at equal spaces round the circumference of the amphitheatre, four towers of light shot up into the sky in long tapering pinnacles of luminosity. They remained poised for a moment, and then slowly descended, becoming broader in girth as they did so, until they assumed the outward appearance of four circular towers, each surmounted with a dome, perfectly proportioned. In the meanwhile, the central area of light had thickened still more, and was beginning to rise slowly in the shape of an immense dome covering the whole amphitheatre. This continued to ascend steadily until it seemed to reach a very much greater height than the four towers, while the most delicate colours were diffused throughout the whole of the etheric structure. I could understand now why Edwin had suggested that we should sit outside the theatre proper and I could follow, also, why composers should feel impelled to alter the Earthly works after they have arrived in spirit. The musical sounds sent up by the orchestra were creating, up above their heads, this immense musical thought-form, and the shape and perfection of this form rested entirely upon the purity of the musical architecture and sounds, the purity of the harmonies, and a freedom from any pronounced dissonance. The form of the music must be pure to produce a pure form."

Chapter Eight:
BIRTH & GROWTH
Before each physical Earth incarnation, careful preparations have to first of all be made in close consultation with one's Higher Self and Spiritual Guides. Firstly, the choice is made of a suitable location on Earth in terms of the country and community which will provide the right economic and social background conditions for the Soul's particular lessons to be experienced.
Secondly, parents are likewise carefully chosen to provide the right environment for learning and soul growth; they may well be "old friends" with whom one has had a close connection in past lives, or perhaps former family members, or even part of one's own Family Soul-Group.
And thirdly, essential learning "events", and also meeting points with others, are planned to occur at various points along the path of one's life, providing the necessary opportunities for specific lessons to be mastered.
Finally, the exact time and place of birth is chosen astrologically to provide the correct Planetary influences in the coming life.
The Master Ramala: "Not only do you choose the body into which you are to incarnate, the parents who are to conceive you, the planetary influences under which you are to be born, the country in which you are to live, your way of life and the partner you are to marry, but you also choose your moment of death and the manner in which you are to die."
The basic principles of preparation for incarnation, namely that we review and choose our lives beforehand, based on lessons to be learned and tests to be accomplished, are confirmed by many Spiritual Teachers and Masters with broad consistency. This process is well described, again by Ripley Webb in his book "Full Cycle", where Michael, whilst on the Spiritual Planes is being assisted by his Spirit Guide, Tendor, to prepare for a forthcoming new Earth incarnation:
"Tendor introduced Michael to a Spiritual Counsellor who had come to greet them. The Counsellor looked Michael over keenly then produced strange-looking charts which appeared to record Michael's progress somewhat on the lines of a horoscope. It was all quite meaningless to Michael, nevertheless from the charts the Counsellor was able to give him a clear and lucid statement of his abilities and weaknesses, the conquests and the defeats which made up his progress to date.
"From the same source the Counsellor worked out the type of problem that was likely to face Michael in accordance with his destiny and explained the course of an incarnation that would be likely to provide the lessons he most needed.
"Your destiny is recorded in our archives and by process of selection we will abstract an incarnation which, according to destiny, follows a line that promises to provide what you require. When you see that record presently you will be able to judge whether you think you are ready to face the difficulties it offers; if you are not, why then we will find something easier."
"A moment later a screen at the other end of the room became diffused with rays. As Michael watched, enthralled, he saw a number of threads of different colours moving endlessly across the screen into what might be a loom or weaving machine. On the other side of the loom appeared a piece of finished material woven in an intricate pattern from the coloured threads.
"The Spiritual Counsellor kept up a running commentary as the picture unrolled itself. He showed Michael the thread representing the incarnation suggested for him. "This shows you what you should aim to accomplish during your incarnation. Though what you actually attain may be something quite different. You cannot escape your destiny, but you are master of the manner in which you handle that destiny and the time you take to accomplish it."
Following the review of past failures and accomplishments, and pre-planning for the next incarnation, preparation then begins for the complex process of physical birth, as the Soul begins to form a spiritual contact with the aura of Earth and in particular with its new parents.
The Master Ramala: "The Soul which has decided to incarnate has already asked and been accepted by the Souls of its intended parents. Before the time of conception, because it knows when it is to be conceived, it draws close through its Astral Body to the aura of the Earth, and in particular the auras of its parents. It awaits in its Astral form its moment of conception. It watches its intended parents as they live their lives on the Physical Plane.
"At the moment of conception, the three Souls unite on the Astral Plane. It is rather like a reunion, a time of celebration. But there are very few persons on Earth consciously aware of this.
"A very small fraction of the Soul that is to be born thereafter resides within the seed of that union. During the following months, as the body of the unborn child grows within the Mother's womb, so that small fraction of the Soul begins to increase until, at the moment of birth, one seventh of the Soul is in the child's body."
The Soul now commences its own careful preparation for the physical process of birth, as related in the continuing story of Michael, channeled by Ripley Webb: Michael is at this point about to be born onto the physical level of Earth, and his own Spirit Guide, Tendor, has taken him to the spiritual counterpart of the Earthly Birth Clinic…
"Michael was allowed to wander at will through the wards and grounds, and he was surprised to find what a complicated business was this approach to physical birth. There were lectures to attend where much was explained to him. He learned that a successful culmination was dependent on several factors. Chief among these was the fact that it is a co-operative business between mother and child. It is essential for the expectant mother to keep in as fine a state of health as is possible and to care for her body at this time. He also found to his surprise that he himself could exercise a considerable effect on the embryo body which was being built for his use. He was required to concentrate at stated periods on this aspect alone, to direct his thought on the perfection of physique and the correct assimilation of atomic substance into the tiny form.
"Examples were shown of the difficulties encountered where the mother-to-be was careless of her role, or who resisted the idea of motherhood either through fear or lack of desire. Even worse was the situation to be dealt with where there was severe illness or a body whose etheric envelope was distorted by narcotics or other abuses. In these cases the incarnating spirit had a very trying experience, usually being prostrated throughout the period of gestation. Sometimes the attempt had to be abandoned because the mother-to-be so ill-used her mortal body. The unfortunate spirit struggled to the last to incarnate with the object of establishing even a brief acquaintanceship with physical life; in the event of failure it was forced to relinquish its hold upon the embryo body and slip back into Spirit life once more. The whole process of selection and preparation then had to be repeated. It was usually the case, where difficulties were most severe, that the spirit had deliberately accepted the risks, knowing that by overcoming them he would progress so much the faster.
"As time went on Michael began to feel the magnetic pull of Earth. It began to manifest as a downward attraction from the feet, much the same as the pull of gravity, except that he was more conscious of it. It was hardly perceptible at first, but as time went on it increased to an uncomfortable extent. He realized that the use of such a clinic as this was almost imperative if distress was to be avoided. He was relieved to hear from his Spiritual doctor that in his case a perfectly normal birth was anticipated, for his mother was a spiritually minded woman and the thought of his coming was a source of delight to both parents. Michael thought sympathetically of the unfortunate spirits around him, many of whom were already aware that they were unwelcome visitors in the family circle awaiting them, that they had a poor chance of experiencing the love they so longed to feel."
[A link to the full book text of "Full Cycle" is available at the end of Book I ]
The Master Ramala: "At the moment of birth, as the child leaves the aura of the Mother and its cord is cut, through the Ether to that child comes the Divine Spark of the Soul which energizes the child and starts it on its path. The Soul has begun to fulfil its destiny and the lessons which have to be learned are now set in motion."
Each incarnating Soul will now follow his or her unique path through Earth life, based on the broad outline as pre-agreed and pre-destined, though the actual working-out and final outcome may well depend upon the Soul's further reactions and responses to the challenges encountered.
Chapter Nine:
ASCENDING TO UNITY
The central purpose unifying all of life's experiences comes down to the process of Evolution with all its inherent learning processes. At this important ending of a major Universal Age, Humanity on Earth is now reaching a collective "turning point", from our concentration on "self-interest", particularly at the expense of others, to coming together in a future New Age of Cooperation and Unity with the rest of Creation.
We now have to first of all start this process by developing a much more compassionate and tolerant attitude towards others. Not only do we need to develop a much more sensitive awareness of their needs, but also to undertake within our own personal development a much greater awareness of all around us, along with better self-discipline and mindfulness in all that we do.
Causing injury or harm to others, exploiting others as we seek to gain through their disadvantagement, such actions formed a major element in the past Human history as we developed a greater Ego-centeredness. Now that we are beginning to change direction, our new orientation must turn towards Cooperation, Mutual Respect, and ultimately the "Unconditional Love" that is universally expressed on the Higher Worlds.
In particular we must seek to develop a new awareness and respect for all other forms of life which share our Planet, especially the Animal Kingdom which has suffered so much at our hands in the past. Earth herself is a living great Spirit Consciousness, painfully aware of all that her Human Mortals perpetrate on her surface and within her crust. Mother Earth/Gaia's Planetary Body has been continuously and thoughtlessly ravaged by Humanity. The many heavy explosions made within her interior, the extensive extraction of her bodily minerals has caused her much suffering. She has also experienced a heavy loss of the very "blood" of her Planetary Body, the oil we use as our fuel, which lubricates her tectonic plates. We have heavily polluted and destroyed much of her planetary surface through our total carelessness and thoughtless behaviour.
Our return onto the Path of Unity will demand a progressively closer attunement to the Natural Laws of the Universe. As the Master Ramala points out:
"Each of you, according to your point of consciousness and soul evolution, should attune to the great Natural Laws of the Cosmos and should lead your life according to those Laws, no matter what the physical or material temptations that are put before you. You will be tested on your observance of these Laws.
"Today it is mainly the Animal, the Vegetable and the Mineral Kingdoms that are being enslaved and exploited. Humanity feels that it has the right to buy and to sell the many aspects of these Kingdoms. How are you going to respond to this test? It does not matter what all the people around you are doing. You have to make your own choice, based on your own understanding of the Natural Laws. Everything that you do in relationship with the three Kingdoms of Matter should be in attunement with the highest Law, the Law of the Cosmos, the Law of Harmony & Balance, the Law of Natural Order."
"At a time in the past, when Man was living in perfection, Man did not own or control the animals, the birds of the air or the fishes of the sea. He recognized them as Sparks of Creation which were not so evolved as him, and therefore he was aware of his responsibility towards them. He realized that in no way should he set an example for the Animal Kingdom which could degrade or mislead it. In no way should he harm the animals, for one does not harm a less evolved soul: one helps it at its point of consciousness. Man did not need to kill any species of the Animal Kingdom for food, for he was a Fruitarian and lived entirely on the fruits of the Earth."
As we gradually become more aware of the need to demonstrate a greater respect for the Animal Kingdom, many people are now choosing to become Vegetarian, thus avoiding the consumption of the flesh of animals, birds and fishes. Those wishing to advance even further can choose to become a "Fruitarian", which means living mainly on a diet of fruits, nuts and grains. Fruits of the Earth are freely "given" to us for the purposes of their own procreation and do not involve us killing the plant or tree. Trees and and plants offer their fruits to man, as well as the animals and birds so that the seeds may be spread as far and as wide as possible for their propagation, something the tree or plant cannot itself always easily do.
Respect for other life-forms is wholly in attunement with the raising of our own individual and group consciousness. Exercise, a healthful diet of fruit and vegetables, the exclusion of fats or animal products, leading a disciplined routine and clean life, will combine to raise our vibration rate and thus our whole level of being and health. Since we are greatly dependent on the physical body, an unhealthy and ill-used body can quickly become a burden and a serious detriment to our evolutionary progress. It has long been recognized that a pure Spirit resides more comfortably in a pure and healthy body.
Through a process of lighter eating and healthy living, of quiet reflection, of tuning into and taking the time to listen to the inner voice of our Higher Self, we can deepen our understanding of ourselves, our Universe and our Evolutionary Plan. We must develop a greater awareness of and respect for other life-forms and our Planet; we must establish, then gradually strengthen, that vital contact between the Earth Self and the Higher-self. Then we can begin to align ourselves with "the flow" by serving others as we would our self, and conduct our lives in accordance with the Highest Wisdom and the Natural Laws of the Universe.
For centuries, Man's competitive, self-serving nature has been reflected in the social/political relationships with fellow-Man. At first the "Strong", those with the greatest power and influence, held domination; then the underprivileged "Weak" began to fight back for their own rights, turning the tables by using their greater numerical size to rebalance perceived injustices. In both cases the fight was, and still is, based purely on Self-interest. Now that the Weak and the Strong groupings in developed political societies are rapidly reaching a stalemate, a position of neutralized near-equality, a whole new moral basis for social interaction has to be established for the future based on Fairness and Mutual Respect between people.
More difficult however, and requiring an even more elevated moral view, is the granting of equal Rights and Justice by those in a superior position to those who are not in a position to make their own demands. This applies especially to our Animal and Vegetable Kingdoms along with the whole of our Environment, as well as to the as yet Unborn Child. If they are to receive Justice it must be given to them as having their own inalienable Rights. This is not only our present social challenge, but will become one of Humanity's major collective tasks in the future.
Many great Masters have incarnated on the Physical Plane of Earth and both through their lives and their work have demonstrated their understanding of the great Natural Laws of the Universe. This is reflected in such teachings as: "Do unto others as you would have others do unto you"; "As a Man thinks in his Heart, so is he"; and "That which you give freely to the Creator of all Life will always be returned to you tenfold".
The Master ZEN TAO: "If you attune to the Natural Laws, then you will live in peace. The state of peace is not the absence of war but is, rather, a state of alignment with the Natural Laws. If you abide by these Laws on any level - individually, nationally or globally - you will be at peace, for you will be living according to the Laws of Infinite Spirit."
Chapter Ten:
THE CLEANSING OF DARKNESS & THE RETURN TO LIGHT
Much of the esoteric and channeled knowledge handed down to us is well established and has been available for over a hundred years by those who have chosen to seek it out. However, there has been nothing on Earth known about the main source of evil and darkness which infiltrated, over one billion years ago, our Local Universe of Nebadon and the outer areas of the Seventh Superuniverse of Orvonton in which Nebadon resides.
The significant revelation of this great source of evil and much of the darkness which has infected the outer regions of the 7th Superuniverse as well as the Local Universe of Nebadon and Earth, was first brought to us on Earth in 2005 through the Creator God Horus (Heru), in a remarkable new book: "THE RETURN OF LIGHT - Revelations from the Creator God Horus", through channelings by Elora Gabriel and Karen Kirschbaum [The full text of "The Return of Light" is available on the Link at the end of this Chapter 10]. The Creator God Horus, or Heru as he now prefers to be known, was one of the Creator Gods originating from a previous Grand Universe who acted as a Co-Creator/Sponsor of Planet Earth. He was known in Ancient Egypt as the God Horus, worshipped as the God of Light, Wisdom, Spiritual Vision, and Protection. He is also known to many through the well-known Ancient-Egyptian symbol of "The Eye of Horus".
HERU/Horus: "I, Heru, am one of the Creator Gods. We are a group of Beings that Prime Creator created prior to this Creation, and so we are older than this Grand Universe. When the Absolute/Prime Source said, "Let there be Light," we were the instruments through which that was manifested. We are the weavers of this magical substance that the Prime Creator pours forth endlessly. And we weave and we shape that sacred substance into forms, into elements, into Worlds, into Universes, into Souls. We are the Beings who create the Soul inside the Sun, and we create the Sun. All substance that we create with is of Prime Creator. I personally, along with others, was involved in the creation of this Universe, the creation of this Planet. So I am Father, Uncle, and Great Uncle to many of you. And I would like to reclaim my own - to lift up, embrace, and heal my Children...
"Some of what you will read in the book "The Return of Light" is a frank and unveiled look at the past of Humankind on this Planet. It may be somewhat disturbing to you to read this, but I want you to know that the only reason this stark truth is being allowed to come forward at this time is because of the certainty and the nearness of the dissolving of all that is of the Dark. It is truly very close to us now, and even upon us. And as part of the healing, it is necessary for us to take a good strong look at where we have come from, and how close we have come to annihilation. Much of this was withheld until now, for the purpose of not driving people into despair by the extent to which the Dark energy had corrupted this Creation. But now that we are at the turning of the tide, we can express to you simultaneously both the harsh danger we have all been in, and the rescue that is at hand..."
"Approximately 1.3 billion years ago in your time, there was an invasion which occurred in a Universe near this one - an invasion of Darkness. What we will call Darkness, for the purpose of these discussions, is a non-souled, non-living substance, antithetical in structure to the basic life inherent in every atom of Creation. It has the tendency to permeate anything that it touches, though some Beings have been able to resist it, at least in maintaining the purity of their spirit.
"The Universes had never experienced conflict prior to this event, and therefore the membranes around them were only designed as containment of form and not as a protective barrier. I would liken this invasion to the effect of the bite of a poisonous spider or snake on the Human body. The original Universe which was affected then sickened, and essentially died in a very short period of time, almost immediately. Of the Beings living in it, those who could do so fled into the neighboring Universes, unknowingly bringing contamination with them. It was at that time that a small assemblage of Light Beings was sent to help. This group was not the one to which the Light Workers on Earth now belong; this was prior to that time. The structure of the one dead Universe was collapsed and melted back into the All, with great sadness and solemn ceremony.
"Those who had escaped seemed at that point largely unscathed. But from that time forward, the surrounding Universes began to experience some disharmony. And this began to grow and magnify, and spread rapidly, as there is much commerce between the Universes. This spread continued and did not seem overly alarming at the time, just concerning. When this reached some several thousand Universes, it was decided that a concerted effort would be made to deal with the situation. Therefore a large group of Beings assembled, and that is most generally the group that the Readers here belong to - the group which we call the Light Workers. They arrived, each of them with their specialty and their mission, and began to do their work.
"If you were to examine the state of those affected Universes at that time, as compared to the present, they would look far more of the Light and harmonious than your current Universe does. It was as though everything was perhaps one degree off from where it should be. It was small, it was subtle, it was not dramatic. There was not a great deal of suffering, there were no wars, there was just a level of disharmony, a small amount of disease, and a sense that everything was slightly off. Things were no longer perfect. Meanwhile the insidious nature of this poison, or this Darkness, was that it penetrated deeper into the infected Beings and deeper into the systems in these Universes. The worst part about this poison is that, unbeknownst to the host, it would usurp its Free Will in a very subtle way and begin to redirect its life.
"At this time there became a concentration of many of the Great and Mighty Beings who were contaminated and infected by the Darkness, such as certain of the Creator Gods, Angels, Archangels, and Elohim. It is the fall of these elevated Beings which, in your mythology, later came to be known as the "Lucifer Rebellion". Again, unbeknownst to these Beings, their Free Will had been usurped and they were being guided into paths that would not normally have been their choice... These Fallen Creator Gods were later to create the Fallen Dark Universes. These were much Darker than your Universe is currently and are not at this time salvageable; they are not structured on the basic sacred geometric principles that your Universe is structured on. There was also a point in time, just prior to the erection of the "Frequency Fences", when these Creator Gods decided that they would create in their own way and in their own manner. In their delusion, they declared theirs a superior Creation to that of Prime Creator... The Universes in this entire Creation number in the tens of thousands. Darkness is only in the last outer layers of the Universes. Perhaps less than two percent are wholly Dark, and maybe an additional four percent are embattled."
Elora and Karen were later given the privilege of addressing questions directly to our Prime Creator:
"Would you please describe to us something of the vision that you held when you created this particular Creation?"
PRIME CREATOR: "I have created many Creations, and this was to be my most beautiful Creation to date. In large part it is successful. I am aware of your pain and concern in this part of the Fallen Universes. I would like to discuss that today."
Elora: "Thank you, we would as well. How did you feel or perceive the initial attack of the Darkness?"
PRIME CREATOR: "It was actually fairly small initially, like stepping on a nail; or pin-prick or a bee sting, something of that nature. The initial pain was not that severe. However there was a venom that was inserted through that opening, which began to spread fairly subtly and rapidly - subtly enough that I did not perceive its spread immediately. This foreign invader began to lay eggs and set up colonies. And that did not appear extremely harmful at first. It seemed benign and it seemed that these Universes would not be harmed by it, for I felt there was room for all...
"This occurred hundreds of millions of years ago and so there would have been that long amount of time for the corruption to spread and to spread, amongst the Creator Gods, the Angelic Hierarchies, the Elohim, and the other Hierarchies, almost all of which have been contaminated to some degree. During that time the Dark Beings were keeping within themselves, and very closely guarded, the secret of their criminal intent. The fullness of this criminal intent did not become clear until the Dark Universes began being born out of the Darkness. Again, that time was perhaps several hundred million years ago, but not as much as a billion.... Once the Invaders had an area sufficient to give them a platform upon which to launch the takeover of this entire Creation, they then built the Frequency Fences, cut everything off, and caused the Universes to fall. All of the Fallen Universes are grouped inside this Frequency Fence..."
Elora: "Were the Dark and contaminated Universes sealed off at this point so they could not infect others?"
"I had no mechanism with which to do so. This Invading Force was able to penetrate anything and everything in this Creation. There was really no material in this Creation built in such a way that could deflect or seal or contain this contamination. It was at that point that I saw the need to create something outside of this Creation, and began to create a new Creation. And that is where the Warriors of Light have come from...
"I have created something that no Darkness can resist. I have cordoned the Darkness off from the rest of this Creation, and have begun the Great Battle. I myself know nothing of war; it is not a part of what I am. But amongst these Warriors of Light are great Captains who are in the process of uncloaking themselves as we speak. And in a twinkling of an eye, things in this Creation will look much different. Then the healing will begin. Those Dark Universes that were created by the Fallen will be destroyed, for they are not reclaimable; they were not built upon my founding principles of Light... The Light Warriors will not stop at the perimeters of my Creation. They will reach out into the heart of what sent the Darkness here, and will destroy it... I will ring all of this Creation with the Warriors of Light."
KAREN writes about the Light Warriors: "These Light Warriors were created by Prime Creator for the sole purpose of eradicating the Darkness that has caused this World and Universe to fall. They were created outside this Creation of a wholly new substance, and the very fabric of their atomic bonds is far stronger than anything in this Creation. This makes them completely impervious to what we term "Darkness" - a non-souled, non living substance which is antithetical in structure to the basic life inherent in every atom of Creation. The Light Warriors are in the process of cleansing the Darkness not only from Earth but from our entire Universe.
"The Light Warriors arrived in our Universe, imbedded in a wave of Light from the central Godverse called the 'Omniversal Energy'. This wave of Light first touched Earth on September 5, 2003. The Light Warriors began to uncloak themselves on August 12, 2004. There are seven waves of them, the first three of which are here now [January 2005)], and they are fighting the giant Galactic battles. They are countless in number and they cannot be defeated. It will take another 12 to 18 months for them to win the battle for Earth, though the complete restoration of Humanity and our Planet will take some time beyond that."
Elora recounts that as of early November of 2004, work began on reforming the Solar Logos of our Sun. Our sunlight should become energetically cleaner and clearer as time goes on. We are also told that some large sections of our Universe are by now substantially cleaned up. The best news of all is that, on the first of December 2004, the Light Warriors arrived in large numbers to begin their work on Earth. They were beginning to dismantle the "Frequency Fence" behind which we have been imprisoned.
In January 2005, Elora asked of Heru: "From your perspective, would you speak about the overall progress that the Light Warriors have made in cleaning up our Universe?"
HERU: "I would say as far as the big battles go, it is perhaps between two thirds to three quarters complete. There are pockets, fairly large pockets of strong resistance, but they are under siege and either circling the wagons or in retreat. With those large areas where it is felt that there will not be a resurgence of darkness or new attacks, we are beginning to have the reclamation crew come in, but we are being somewhat cautious about this as we do not want anyone injured.
"It is felt that in about a year's time the major battles will be complete, and that the resistance will have been captured and neutralized and taken to a place of reclamation. And what is left to be done is huge, as I'm sure you are aware. The work to come will be fairly long and arduous. Large swathes of this Universe pretty much lie in tatters, and would look not unlike the areas devastated by the recent Tsunami. Now, that is not everywhere, and that is not even maybe the majority. But there are very large areas that have been pretty completely decimated. It will take a great deal of work on many levels to reclaim its original structure and integrity, purity and beauty. However, it is doable, that is the good news."
On the 18th of April, 2005, Elora asked Heru for a further update on the cleansing of the Forces of Darkness within our Universe:
HERU: "My dear beloved friends on Earth, it is with great pleasure that I am able to announce to you the imminent victory of the Forces of Light for control of this Universe. The tide has indeed turned, and the Forces of Light now control more than 50% of this Universe. And within a few weeks the major battles shall be over with. At that point we will be addressing the energetic structures, primarily on the Sixth and Eighth Dimensions, that are controlling the Controllers of Earth. You would probably know them as the Illuminati. Within a very short period of time you will begin to see the entrenched power structure that controls the finances, the war machines, and the politics of your world, shake and collapse like a tower of Babel. I know this will give you both joy and fear, for radical change like this is often fearful. Know that what is to come will be miraculous. If you will remember what I believe were called the "Velvet Revolutions", the fall of the Iron Curtain which was achieved with no violence, you will see uprisings like that. There will be people marching in the streets, raising their hands and demanding an end. And there will be an end - this is the key - there will be an end to the mind control that has kept many populations enslaved, either asleep in front of their television sets or just hopelessly fatigued and bound to survival issues. People will begin to wake up rapidly, and it could happen as soon as this year."
By the 30th of April, 2005, Heru told us that our Universe is now 92% Light - once again, outstripping expectations. HERU: "I am sorry that your beloved Earth is going to be one of the last places to be rescued. As you know this is one of the Twelve Critical [Third-Dimension] Planets, and they [the Dark] have clung onto it with every last bit of power that they have. But shortly that will change. The other thing is that we need to go in very carefully so that we can take out the power structures doing as little damage as possible."
By June 2005, Heru further informed us: "The Illuminati, through from the Fourth to the Eleventh Dimensions, have been taken down. However, as you are aware, the power structure of the Illuminati on Earth is still in place, and the upper echelons of this group are Master magicians. So although they have no support even in the Fourth Dimension, they are still able to operate in the Fourth and the Fifth and the Sixth, to do their dastardly deeds. The next push would be to really be able to get into the Fifth, Fourth, and Third Dimensions of Earth. We managed to get enough into the Fifth and Fourth Dimensions to take out the Illuminati, but not really to be able to function there well enough to prevent the Third Dimension Magicians from operating there. They would see us coming and they would retreat. As soon as we would blink our eyes they would do their operation and retreat again."
By late July 2005, Heru was asked by Elora: "We are preparing an update, and we would like some information on the war on the Higher Planes of Earth which started on August 1 and is now winding down. Please tell us how this came about. We were shocked that such an intense war could occur when it had been recently stated that over 95% of our Universe was now under the control of the Light Forces, and that the Darkness existed only in isolated pockets which were all guarded and quarantined."
HERU: "This Planet Earth is one of the focal points and one of the last hold-outs where the Dark is marshalling its last defenses. So even though vast areas of this Universe are in control of the Forces of Light, for you it is as if nothing has changed, for this Planet is still in the grip of the Dark Forces. Therefore the battle being waged, ultimately, will be for the control of this planet. Those Beings who have remained Dark are fighting for their lives and will not give up until the last one is captured...
"It is the madness of the Dark that it believes in its own invincibility, that it believes it can still win. And so the Dark is fighting as if in some unimaginable way, they could pull off a victory on this planet [i.e. the Middle East], they then could take over the entire Universe and this entire sector. So they are fighting from that perspective. For them, this is Armageddon. For us, the Light Forces, most of the battles have been won. The most diverse and precious and critical planets in this Universe have yet to be liberated. We know, with full confidence, that they will be. For you Humans, there is the combined angst of the isolation that this Planet has been under, and the fact that this, for the Dark, is their last battle. And they are portraying it as universal Armageddon when it is not. Because you Humans are completely isolated, it looks to you to be total Armageddon and the End of the World, the end of life, the end of everything. And it is not. But creating this fear helps the Dark to keep Humans disempowered and helps them in their battle. They have skewed the perspective to further their delusional dreams. And they think that - well, they are just insane! I don't want to detail what they think because it's not worth writing out."
In February 2006 we were given some stunning news by Elora on the final elimination, by Prime Creator and other Creator Gods, of the original outside Source of Darkness in the surrounding Great Void:
ELORA: "In one of the Creation Systems - one that was relatively near to us but not our immediate neighbor - the Darkness was created. Darkness has overtaken that Creation System entirely. How and why it was created we don't know. The Prime Creator of that system, we are told, is "diseased and insane". Did he create the Darkness because he was insane, or was it done innocently as some kind of experiment, and did he become insane because of living in a Dark Creation System? Probably we will never know. In either case, I still feel that the best analogy we have for Darkness is that of a computer virus - something that is non-living and non-souled, yet has the ability to spread and replicate itself, and to corrupt and destroy whatever it encounters. Just as computer viruses don't affect a hard drive that is running on the older and much simpler DOS system, but can rapidly take down a computer running on the newer and more complex Windows system, just so Darkness was not able to affect the older and simpler Creations within this system but had a devastating effect upon our newer and very complex Creation. I also believe that if we could define Darkness, it might well be a reversing of the Codes of Life, the "Codes of Light". It's as if all these magnificent, perfect codes were run backwards. Therefore the effect of the Darkness is to reverse the perfection of creation. Love becomes hatred. Purity becomes corruption. Peace and safety become violence and war. Beauty becomes ugliness, and so on...
"On or about Friday, January 13th, 2006, a shock wave ran through this Creation, for it was discovered that the source of Darkness was sending a Force to attack us. Prime Creator had always known that the Source of Darkness would have to be destroyed in order for us to be fully safe. Tentative plans for this venture had been laid for sometime in the future. What Prime Creator had done, in recent months, was to contact some of the Creators of the other Creation Systems which were adjacent to the Dark Creation and had therefore been also affected by the Darkness. I believe there were at least a couple dozen of these systems. Prime Creator communicated with these other Creators and discussed with them the necessity of banding together to destroy the Dark Creation. This was a positive step, and a very necessary one for the ultimate destruction of the Dark. With the might of over two dozen Creators banded together, the numbers and the power existed to take down this threat to our part of the Cosmos.
"When the attack from the Dark Creation was launched towards us, Prime Creator and the Forces of Light were initially taken by surprise. However, the Light Forces quickly rallied, pulled together an enormous force of Light Warriors and God Warriors, and joined together with the other Creators to combat this menace. These Creators, along with their armies, soon contained the attacking force and surrounded the Dark Creation. On the weekend of the 15th and 16th January, they joined together their energies and were able to initiate an implosion of the Dark Creation.
"As the Dark Creation slowly began to collapse, hordes of beings started to pour out of it in order to escape its destruction. The Armadas of Light Forces were able to contain this outpouring of Dark Beings, and they also began to construct a gigantic net. About a week later, this net was completed and placed around the Dark Creation and its Forces. We believe it would require another three to six weeks for the collapse to be complete. The Creator of this system will be caught in the collapse and will be destroyed as well. Those Beings who are watching tell us that this is both a time of rejoicing and of deep sorrow. Ultimately, the relief that all beings of Light will feel when the Dark Creation is gone will be enormous."
HERU - August 2006: "First of all, in the latter part of July, an initiative was launched to clean out the Dark Beings from the Inner Earth that had honeycombed your Planet, and also to apply a protective shield around this Planet so that no Dark Beings could either come in from the outside or escape from here. So what remains on this Planet is a thin crust of the Darkness that is quite intense - and actually perhaps more intense than previously because some of what was above and below has been sandwiched into this layer. At this time, that is being addressed. We wish to address this in as gentle a manner as possible, but make no mistake: it is being addressed, and the days of the Rule of Darkness on this Planet are numbered. They know it, and out of fear are initiating as much chaos as they can."
ELORA gives a further update on the 29th of August, 2006: "At the end of July, Heru told us to prepare ourselves for “six to eight weeks of great intensity” as the last barriers fell. This would take us through the middle to the end of September. We are still moving through the process that he foretold, and it certainly has been a roller coaster.
"It was forecast that when the Atomic Correction reached the 35-40% marker, the Light Forces would be able to begin their entry into the dense physical. We don't have an exact number for the correction right now, but it has reached and exceeded that point. However we have learned that Human consciousness, most of which is very limited and darkened, is holding the density on the surface of our world at a lower [denser] point than it would be otherwise, given the extent of the Atomic Correction. This situation is being worked on. It has also been found that Earth's timeline had been tampered with once again by the Forces of Darkness, thus not allowing our Planet to move forward into its imminent and positive future. That, too, is being corrected as I write.
"The main event that I am aware of on the higher dimensions is a vast cleansing and purification that is sweeping through all levels. So profound is this process that at times the Higher Beings are not able to be in touch with us. The last strongholds of the Darkness are being destroyed, and all will be restored in perfection."
It may perhaps be difficult for us on this war-torn planet to imagine "perfection". Yet it exists elsewhere and can also become a reality on Earth.
Recalling a distant past life in an "Unfallen Universe" called Virqie, Elora Gabriel writes: "As I explored my memories of Virqie, I was stunned to realize that none of them contained pain or disharmony, even in the slightest way. Most of my past Earth memories are traumatic, partly because Earth life tends to be that way and partly because it is the unresolved traumas that we remember most. However, in accessing my memories of Virqie, I simply could not uncover any remembrances of sorrow, suffering, fear, illness, aging, or even of discontent. I realize how incredible this sounds, yet it is the truth of my recollection. I am not speaking of some remote Heavenly Realm here, or some between-life Paradise, but day to day life on a Planet, a world just as concrete as Earth...
"In the Virqie Universe, all is beauty, harmony, and love. Evolution occurs through joy, not through suffering and struggle. The presence of God flows through that Universe like a great golden tide that is always at the full. While there is the Free Will to choose among many possibilities in life, the thought of doing anything negative, hurtful, or in any way outside of the flow of God's Will is simply not conceived of. Nor is there any fear of being harmed, either by other Humans or by Nature. Perfection reigns - and yet not a static, lifeless, and tedious perfection, but one which contains vibrancy, joy, and great creative challenges.
"On the Planet of Atia of the Virquie Universe where I lived, Human relationships are considered a High Art. Intimacy and love exist in exquisite delicacy and profound depth. Male/female relationships are practiced within a free-flowing yet committed structure which ensures that love and partnership are always available to all, as are times of aloneness and communion with nature and God. Loneliness, abusive or unfulfilling relationships, and emotional pain of all types are unknown. The decision to bring forth a child is considered a sacred act, and each child is seen as a precious manifestation of the Divine.
"From my memories of Atia, I know that Nature thrives there in resplendent beauty. Trees, flowers, grass, birds, sea creatures, and land animals live there just as they do here, yet in complete harmony and glorious vibrancy. All forms of life, from the tiniest to the greatest, are honored, and all are part of the great tapestry of life. The whole Universe evolves together. None are left behind, not the tiniest insect or flower. All Beings are conscious, and all Matter is filled with awareness; even the grains of sand shimmer with life as they lie on the shores of the jade-green ocean. It is as if the whole Universe is one great symphony. There is no illness, and death is simply a conscious releasing of one form to move on to a higher one."
While battles rage between Light and Dark on a level beyond our reach, we cannot simply stand by and wait, for we need to pursue our own evolutionary progress towards a life in harmony with one another, with all life-forms and with Nature. Only then will the promised perfection be attained at all levels.

This communication by Monsignor Robert Hugh Benson, a son of former Archbishop of Canterbury, Edward White Benson, given after his death in 1914, channeled through his old friend, Anthony Borgia, gives us a very detailed and fascinating description of life within the Spiritual Realms. There are descriptions of visits to the various Spiritual Halls of Learning, Literature and Music, and the creation through concentrated thought of new buildings by Master Masons. There is also a visit to the Lower Astral Realms and an inspiring visit to the Highest Spiritual Realm, where he has a meeting with the The Master of the Realm in his Celestial residence.

This is a sequel to the previous book, given 37 years later in 1951, by Monsignor Robert Hugh Benson, in which he describes assisting a young lad in England who is dying from a terminal illness, to finally move up to the Spiritual Realms. Monsignor Benson takes him into his own Spiritual Plane home, and with the assistance of his new partner, Ruth, they show him around their area of the Heavenly worlds and also help him settle into his new life there.
