And Now for Some Real Heretics, Part 9

Continued from Part 8:

We saw in recent posts that the category that St. Paul calls hylics (as part of the three-fold division of people into pneumatics, psychics and hylics) and what and Boris Mouravieff calls pre-Adamics can be further divided into psychopaths and more normal, harder to distinguish types with no higher centers or soul potential. All of them can cause problems for those with soul potential who share the earth with them. The pre-Adamics, estimated by Mouravieff to be half of the population evenly distributed across the globe, can divert, distract and drain energy from those with soul potential. In fact, they need to steal energy in order to appear to have higher centers.

Adding to these problems for those trying to strengthen their Real ‘I’ as opposed to the ‘I’ of the Personality is that many of the Adamics are hardly distinguishable from pre-Adamics due to the aforementioned drains on energy. In addition, not all those with higher centers are oriented towards positive spiritual development. There is another path for those who are trying to ascend: the negative path. Many of the communications that people have had with intelligences at higher levels have spoken of a free-will choice that conscious beings have with regards to whom they are serving: self or others.

According to these sources (here I include the Ra material of Carla Rueckert, the Pleadian material of Barbara Marciniak, Michael Topper’s material, and the Cassiopean material of Laura Knight-Jadczyk), the world we live in is one where we are tasked to orient ourselves towards either Service to Self or Service to Others (STS vs. STO). Furthermore, the default mode of this world we live in (third density) is STS. We are in third density STS land due to a Fall where we chose that orientation. The term “density” refers to the reality that can be seen due to our level of awareness. According to these various sources, there are seven densities ranging from inanimate matter (first density) to seventh density (union with the Absolute, All There Is, the Creator, etc.). We are travelling deep into some weird paths here, so I am leaving aside for the moment any lengthy discussion of the truth or reliability of these claims. Again, I only ask you to consider these claims as thought experiments and see if they help explain anything in your experience. We must also keep in mind that even the sources themselves say that there are inevitable distortions resulting in enough things that are not true in the communications, that we are not absolved from the need to adopt a sceptical, scientific attitude towards them. As Michael Topper put it:

In this way we come to see that, even in relation to the alleged rescue-operations of channeling, we haven't succeeded in surpassing the original problem at all. We find there is no device to which we can have recourse, that serves as proof against the possibility of deception and illusion. We find once again that we are thrown back ultimately on our own resource, stuck after all with the responsibility of developing our own discriminative faculty, our own will, our own spiritual intelligence able to act as a gyroscopic monitor of information-signals. For it becomes inescapably evident that, regardless the subtlety of the originating plane or quality of the formal Ground, the voice of Self-serving can Speak from the Other Side with as great an ease as any other orientation, and indeed takes up Residency there with as firm a sense of proprietary rights.

Many people have a strong resistance to the idea that those polarized towards evil can rise to higher levels of existence. They think that evil is a mistake due to ignorance, not a choice made with awareness by those who have souls and want to ascend. Michael Topper:

We discovered through such proffered channeling sources as the Ra material that "graduation" beyond this threshold 3rd-density existence holds ambivalent implication, of a disconcerting type, for many who'd assumed that only the "positive" alignment possessed a purchase on integration adequate to make the advance in required spiritual coherence. As it turns out, negative orientation of a virtually exclusive, self-serving type is capable of commanding a coherence and sufficient systemic integration to "make the grade" as well, as far as the necessary technical degree of mind-body organization and threshold intensity (or purposive unity) is concerned, the negative polarization can exhibit a "harvestability" equivalent to that of the positive.

… The idea that negativity or "evil" orientation not only survives this plane of blindered ignorance but is capable of holding its own and advancing through the higher spheres of more overtly spiritualized substance, is not only a distressing notion to many, it is difficult for some to accept on philosophical grounds due to the conventional understanding that "negativity" is inherently self-divisive and therefore ultimately disintegrate, so that the requisite unity consistent with Being through the higher planes is by nature beyond its grasp.

And of course this "understanding" holds, in an ultimate sense, as the Ra material explains, spiritual advance through the Negative Hierarchy reaches the pons asinorum at the mid-point of the 6th density, the cutting-off place just before consciousness merges into unity with the so-called Oversoul or Higher Self. Anywhere prior to that point the inherent deficiency with respect to negative orientation may have become apparent to the ongoing focus of consciousness assaying an "ascent" by that mode, the upper limit of friction, division and thus inanition (or unassimilable energy) may have been grasped as the inbuilt barrier to perfect resolution with the Whole in terms of the Negative tactic.

…When we turn, puzzled, to ask how this may be, we need look no further than our own 3rd density backyard. Here recent research has found, on behalf of the general Newsweek-consciousness, a medical evidence not only tending to substantiate aspects of the perennial Teaching regarding the relation of mind and body, but ripe with other implication. Scientific investigation into the "mental" influence on health now documents that those exhibiting strong positive correlation with values of will, confidence and self-motivation tend to display proportionately strengthened immunological response. Just as it has been established for some time that protracted stress of an internalized type (manifesting as "anxiety") as well as prolonged periods of grief, depression and boredom predictably correlate with depressed immunological function, so conversely it's been found that the highly purposive, self-confident psyche literally tends to amplify the available leukocytes and in general enjoys a more resilient mind-body vehicle—and this independent of
whether the personality is altruistically oriented, a self-giving soul of beneficent motivation or on the contrary a narcissistic and manipulative power-broker out in fullforce service to self!

This should be very instructive, for those who can read the implication. From this interesting data, we can locate the mechanism behind the otherwise perplexing intelligence that beings of a committed, threshold degree of inner unification whether positively or negatively oriented may equally advance to the higher ground, where their respective intentions are granted more potent substance with which to experiment.

The common key of such advance is not the character of the motivation per se, it is not a moral judgment that draws the line, at any threshold gate of progress. The common key is identifiable here as will, and its closely correlated value confidence.

That fact is frightening, especially if one thought that anything from “higher” or “spiritual” realms was good and it was just this confusing, material realm down here that had people you had to watch out for! Another thing, even more frightening, that all the abovementioned sources said is that we, as a result of the Fall of our own free will (“our” meaning the human race), are under the control of 4th density STS beings. We may be in the same relation to them as earthly cattle (2nd density) are to us. This gives new depth to the Gnostics’ concept of archons or principalities of this world.
