Considerations Sixty-One …
Use the Old in New Ways …
- - O-0-O-O-0-o - -
The approach of mind as to what goes on around the individual is to use the tools of analysis / dissection / categories / definitions / labels / comparisons / etc … and as has been stated before … it is designed and necessary for mind to do so to keep track of what goes on around us in our outer life … and … as we come to find out later … in our “inner” life as well. In these lower psychic worlds one must become aware of and compare one experience to another so that one might learn from ones past actions … inwardly or outwardly.
Mind may want to believe that there is some secret web site … or some hidden book that will spell it all out and you just have to follow the instructions on page XYZ and you’ll attain enlightenment. Only the fact that you have “yet to discover it” is what’s holding you back.
Most people gain a high degree of information from reading … or currently … watching videos. Mind believes that if it can just uncover or find that one secret, well-hidden tidbit of information … that all the mysteries will be solved … that one guru … that one web site … and then all the puzzle pieces will slide into place and voila … enlightenment.
I am *not* making light of this … and yet … this is *not* the case. The step is totally mystifying and frightening to mind … yet totally understandable to Soul.
A hint is discovered when one realizes if one does not use the “approaches” of analysis / dissection / comparisons / etc. … what does that leave you? If you cannot analyze / dissect / etc … then what *can* you do?
You begin to get a glimpse of how and what it is to live in the Pure God Worlds.
So much of the information that circles around us … adepts, gurus, savants, and teachers have given us the same basic information forever. There is *very* little that is “new” … it is just worded differently. For the most part … the mental areas bottleneck at the top of the Etheric Plane and disappear into a Void … the infamous Void so often spoken of … that area of “nothing-ness.” Since mind cannot go into the Pure God Worlds … it piles up on itself. Where else is mind to go?
Mind often resolves all of this by resorting to “stopping itself” … stopping the mind … stopping thought … and believes that this will actually advance the individual.
It’s a great relief, a fabulous vacation so to speak … and getting control of the mind is certainly something that we each have to work at and will gain … but it is just another tool in the toolkit.
The accumulation of mental information is effective in the mental realms … which is certainly foundational in the psychic worlds. Spiritual knowledge is properly concerned with Soul Itself and Its relationship to the unseen forces around it … Divine Spirit … as opposed to Spirit … which is the “energy” we all understand and its composed of both positive and negative elements or facets. Use whatever wording you wish to keep this concept understandable to yourself.
The most valuable and useful perspectives are those which use “old” information in “new” ways. We begin to stretch the basics … and find out these are often the keys … but they are springboards … stepping stones … and we slowly uncover and discover their “hidden” meaning … that which is beyond the outer written word.
How is anyone supposed to know what is “there” in the Pure God Worlds … beyond the mental realms. You’ve never been there. Few have personal experience of it. The farther you personally go … the fewer are able to offer suggestions and guidance.
The long training of Soul via the psychic bodies readies it for the steps ahead. One slowly raises your vibration until you are able to enter into the upper realms where direct contact with Divine Spirit … this limitless intelligence and power … a Force … not an energy … is possible. Until then … you are developing the mental abilities and viewpoints.
By the time one steps into the true home of Soul … in the Pure God Worlds … one has gained enough mastery over the lower bodies and has begun to practice the ability to perceive and live in these more pure worlds. At this point … one is pretty much on their own. Authentic Masters have led the way but now step back to allow for these new discoveries to develop and a new lifestyle to unfold. It is clearly a different approach … and certainly can be of vastly different “reasons” or services to LIFE IT-self.
Divine Spirit recognizes those that IT *can* work with. We are again back to the principle of … it is not a question of the individual letting Spirit into their life … but but a matter of Divine Spirit letting the individual into IT’s “life” because the individual has become so much a working part of IT … that Divine Spirit cannot overlook the effort.

Tidbit …
No one can hold onto the old ways and expect the new ways to have any real impact. It is one facet of the old saying … “A divided house cannot stand.”
