MANIFESTATION

Manifestation/Incarnation of life is a very complex process, and in order to enter earth as an individual entity and come into physical manifestation, the spirit needs a series of intermediate levels of consciousness, to bridge the gap between the non-physical and physical planes, so that it can act directly on physical matter. 

Needs.

1] A vehicle of a mind, mental level. To think.

2] Emotional level. To feel, or become aware of the quality of its thoughts.

Levels 1 & 2 are different but interwoven.  

3] A body physical, to bring into being the expression of these things.

These are the descending levels of being.

The mind employs as its vehicle of expression the physical brain,

Which in turn employs the body through its nervous and glandular systems.

The levels are: 

Spiritual                                                OR                                           Spirit

Mental/Emotional                                                                                  Mind

Physical                                                                                                Matter

The mental and emotional is thus a half way house between the spiritual and physical states. It is a link between the two extremes, and receives the influences of both.

The purpose of life is to provide man with experiences, which will help him to become more individualised, to develop character, and bring into evidence his spiritual nature.

We were created by God as pure spirit, as perfect beings, and to manifest into the physical we came into contact with the nature of material, and that nature gave us wants and thoughts that became less spiritual, more physical. We forget sometimes that we are spirit first, and we need to re-learn that this world is simply a place of learning how to return to that state, the un-physical, and the spiritual. 

This is only one part of our total existence in the greater scheme; there are many other places in the spirit world.

Man has to learn how to overcome and master the earthly conditions, that by choice he has adopted. These experiences gained in the process must be interpreted and evaluated from a spiritual standpoint, in order that his own true spirit-nature may not only be remembered but also enriched.

Freewill is there to let man make his own mistakes, through the working of the law of cause and effect he will gradually discover that life will ultimately steer him with unremitting pressure into the right path. So that he will use his freewill to make the right decisions. I call this the ‘homing device’ that our Creator has given us for guidance.

Peace and harmony will only come to him when the spiritual side of his nature is re-awakened.

[This is the true purpose of healing, of giving evidence, and the philosophy / the seven principals.] 

The object of re-awakening of the spirit within is to stimulate the thought patterns of the individual, into the understanding that this material world is only the shadow-land. That the earth is created as it should be. That God and man are not at odds with each other. We are not here to be punished or as a punishment.

All people, the so-called bad and good, will go back to the real world of spirit, and will be judged not by some image of our maker, but by ourselves.

We are our own harshest judges, and will see before us the experiences we have been through and how we learnt from them, how we have progressed on our journey back to being the pure souls the source of all being, our creator God made us in the first place.

In giving us the free will to make mistakes, we are blessed with the spiritual progression at the speed we wish. To not move at all if that is how we want it. But I must confess it’s not easy to stand by when those we love seem to go astray.

As a friend I have watched some pretty stupid things going! As a parent this is even harder. To trust the system God has put in place, and know that all will be well in the end, is just about the hardest thing to do when it’s our own loved ones that are in pain. But sometimes this is exactly what we must do.

Why do we suffer so? Because we don’t understand the reasons we are here. This we must learn for ourselves, each and every one of us.  And when we can’t help ourselves any more, then trust is all that is left to us.

Now we have learnt another lesson. When all else fails go to God. Go to prayer. Go to the source of all being and feel the love that the greatest parent of all time must feel.

How can His love be any the less than ours? How can He see what we do to each other and not grieve? How can His pain be any less than ours, when the responsibility is left to us to learn not to do these things? How can He take away the purpose of our being?

We have chosen the path for ourselves. Before we came here, in that other home we have called the spirit world. To live a life of temptation and learn the value of all the other things that are non-physical. Then when we go back we can look our loved ones in the face and say to them and God “I did my best�.

Amen – which means ‘Let it be so’.
