Part 6 The portal
Until now in our adventure we remained in the lower heavens, the ethereal, astral and mental. This was so that we could observe and appreciate the wonders of our galactic heavens. Here it is too that we met those other angels whose business, their raison d'être Will be discovered. We are about to pass through a portal of grand significance. In the previous story we did a similar thing. We moved from the Earth’s heavens into the higher so that we could approach our own local creative center, Sol. (our sun). There we learned of the presence of greater beings and one in particular, quite literally, through whom our solar system and all it contains is held alive. We had left the Earth’s heavens and, shifting up, with the help of the First Angel, we able to enter the Sun’s heavens. Then, from that vantage point, we gained a better appreciation of the structure of our solar system. We are just about to make another transition, this time from the galactic ethereal/astral/mental up higher and into the higher galactic heavens. We will then be looking into a realm which existed before the original moment of creation spoken of in Earth lore. It is often inappropriate to give names to such things as these so often vary, and thus cause disagreement, within Earth cultures. No matter. We have come so far. We will take the risk.
Remaining in the shield of the First Angel’s aura we seem to have stopped. Remember there are seven of us in the party. Each, we will find later, will see and interpret what is about to happen in their own way, according to their positions in the scheme of lower plane living. But in a group each will find that they have access now to greater meanings. We seem to be watching now and in the distance, if that is the right word for all surrounding us seems to be pure energy with so little definition, we see the approach of others. Quickly they arrive and stop. We have been met, but by whom?
We are joined by the Seven (sisters). Now as we watch these arrange themselves around us and, with the Lady, our First Angel, we watch as a new combined aura envelopes us, the travelers. They will be our protectors and guides. In their care we will be allowed to visit realms that no Earth souls have access to. As I say this though I must make the exception that this is not strictly true. Those who are yet incarnating on Earth, those who have achieved the level of adept and master, do have such access. We cannot write more about these here. Theirs is an entirely different story. But let’s continue into what some on Earth refer to as that which lays “beyond” the Buddhic, the Atmic plane.
Once again we have the sensation of movement but not, this time, through space. No. We are moving through consciousness. Much different it seems. Unfamiliar yet at the same time recognizable. As the auras of these protect they also avail us of the properties of correspondence. In this instance we can continue to use our Earth senses to appreciate what would otherwise be incomprehensible. We continue.
We are given to know that we are about to receive the opportunity to participate first hand and to gain a better understanding of the elemental process of creation and it’s counterpart, the return. Before we can continue we are instructed regarding the nature of that which existed before the great (explosive) event that we on Earth often recognize as being the moment of creation. Consciousness, being an elemental principle, exists. If it is more convenient we can refer to this as God consciousness.
The landscape of the atmic plane is wholly different from any that we are used to. We do not “see” things but instead “realize” them. And in place of “moving about” we “create”. In the simplest terms possible we might say we create as we progress. With this in mind now let’s continue. Our angel friends now, in their group formation, are going to show us (by creating it) a point in “space” (not the right word) which is a blinding light within which or seemingly through which mazes of “matter” rush at velocities which defy description. We are told that this continuous activity is no less than the return to high spiritual worlds that which has previously been created. And we realize we are “seeing” a spiritual sort of recycling center. We do not understand the need for such but maybe later. We are told that as we know everything in nature is cyclic. This process is not limited to lower plane nature. It also applies to higher planes. And behind it all, if it were possible for us to know it, is the most elemental consideration of all.
Remember the question, “what is the business of God?” Remember the answer we were given (through Bartholomew in a post). “The business of God is to express”. That is all. This is the limit of out understanding. The essential nature of all things, created and non created, evolves and is cyclic. This is the process which leads to purification of expression. (Spiritual growth)
We move away from what is shown us now and seeming to turn race away at speeds far exceeding even those incredible rates found on the mental. What we will view is being created before us, for our benefit. We slow and come to a stop. Before us is a world which seems to be like a planet in pastels. We seem to be seeing it but certainly we can feel it throughout out beings. The angels loosen their formation now. They seem to be smiling amongst themselves. Then we understand. We are at the home world of the angels. It is here that they begin, here they learn, here they return from time to time for the periodic cleansing that all beings require. Remember the cyclic natures of all? No created being is exempt or held harmless in the midst of that which they must move in the performance of their duties. It is true, too, with angels. From our more familiar lands of the Earth we do not realize this but it is so. Now we are allowed just a peek into other worlds. It is given to us to expand our consciousness just enough….
The world before, or is it below, us glimmers and changes shapes. Looking closer we see movement. We do not move but we are allowed to send our minds down, down to within the mazes of luminescence. We find that if we slow we are rewarded with visions of structures made of light. And within these are light beings moving about. Several pause and look our way, inquiring… but they continue with their own business. There are columns and domes, sometimes with openings which look like Roman oculi. We are given to know that these serve as “leaning centers”…. Here is where young angels receive their educations. Like us, they learn and grow. Lastly we find a body of what appears to be water. The surface shimmers but there are no waves. We seem to know that we are looking at a specialized form of energy. Yes. Something is out of sight to us. It houses or hides a center within which angels are graded and given courses, areas of activity (service areas) in which they will do their future work.
A darkness descends now and we are bid sleep…. Unable to resist we obey. Again we are near to the portal that we saw before. Again we watch as “matter” at a terrific, immeasurable rate, flows. To our left there is light racing by but it expands and now, to our right… it vanishes from our view. Our attention now returns to the angels. There are seven and there is our guide, the Lady. Eight in total. It is given us to wonder, to ask, who are these and what are their occupations. What disciplines constitute the duties of these high beings? In what ways are they arranged. And what is the seeming portal that we just saw? Something to do with the creative processes? May we know these things? Yes. Be patient readers. More will be revealed.
