If it is or is not known … there are basic Spiritual Laws that are put in place when the lower world schoolroom was designed. One such Law demands that each individual Soul experiences every scenario in the lower worlds … and stays there for as long as that scenario fulfills them. This certainly includes all polar experiences … such as being rich or poor … strong or weak … king or pauper … beautiful or plain … etc. for as long as you wish to list them. This also includes all the philosophies and all the religions. Every exploration into each philosophy or religion can certainly enchant an individual for lifetimes. Every experience … every philosophy … every religion has its element of truth within it … great or small … to be gathered and assembled by the individual in order to understand both Self and life around it.

The Great Organized Religions draw the individual into the basics. These religions are geared to the masses. The easily-found and highly known religions are mostly for establishing the social codes … don’t kill this … don’t steal that. It’s a necessary step to at least have some degree of lawfulness.

Many of the organized religions have their esoteric side … or their set of mystery teachings. These teachings are little known until one works their way into the upper positions … so to speak. They are secret from the general offerings … giving an element of importance to them … and this is a working aspect of uncovering and practicing them.

Eventually one works into the true mystery schools … gnosticism, the Masons, the Rosicrucians, Zoroastrianism, the Sikhs, the Essenes, Theosophy … many more. These usually involve a direct initiation into the teachings … and secrecy is often highly promoted.

Each set of teachings comes from the one above them. As the blueprint comes before the high-rise … and thought of the building comes before the blueprint … so each set of teachings are a thinned down version of what gave rise to it. All the philosophies and religions … the mystery schools … and what lies beyond … is a seemingly endless series of bread crumbs for any to follow should they have the passion to find them … fulfill the prerequisites … and earn the recognition of the true Master to welcome the individual to the final series … however long that will take. To walk the true final steps … one must begin to look where everyone else does not.

By the time one wanders through these for as many lifetimes as fulfills the individual … it is time to explore beyond them … and this puts one on a very precarious position … often out on a limb on ones own … or with very few alongside. Tests and development of courage, sincerity, strength … etc … are inherent, constant, prerequisite, and subsequent. Silence about the true esoteric teachings is a demand. One earns the right to hear. ( I did not draw up the design. )

By now the adventurer discovers that reality depends on the intensity of awareness and not on external facts. Each student will become what s/he focuses on … is aware of within … and what goes on in their outer world is a testimony to just how this is being directed and designed … to the use or issues of this entire postulate.

The secrecy of the learning of the truly esoteric teachings depends on the hearer. Doors can be opened … but it is up to the individual to recognize and walk through them. LIFE … and the true Masters that work within LIFE … take note of the sincerity and devotion of each. Most will hear only what is said to them and will grasp nothing but the spoken word.

A great struggle befalls most anyone in this day and age … because people currently are looking for pleasure and their highest goal is not to uncover esoteric truth. Most want entertainment … not unfoldment. There are always exceptions.

Truth is not given to all because few will listen.

Most who have taken even a few steps into this arena will divulge what they know only to those who are willing to listen … and are sincere in their passion for Truth. Words are cheap. LIFE knows your private dedications and abilities. Most have worked incredibly long and hard to extract even a few working tidbits. No matter how much the mind simply wants to be given access to anything and everything at any time … there are prerequisites. The greater the true teacher … the more the qualifications.

Truth in itself is always obscured because it is most often hidden behind intelligent and glistening things. The world is not the same to all since we bring our own subjectivity to each experience. What captivates our mind and attracts our attention by the “must-have” splendor of materialism … is brought with us from lifetime to lifetime … and our state of consciousness is the only thing that comes with us … intrigued by the new fads, fashions, social mores, and glamorous goodies each new lifetime brings.

I do not mean to cheapen or subtract from the incredible “completeness” of the lower world schoolroom. I have said before … and I’ll say it again … the schoolroom is designed as such … because it works … brutally.

As one approaches these closing steps … it becomes clear that the final strides require a good degree of faith … a faith that the ending goals and ideals do actually exist and are attainable. Mind may turn white-faced with horror at this.

As always … we have “forever” to figure this out. Each student can take as long as s/he wants.

Tidbit …
The physical world is an assumptive ( illusory ) world … that is plastic and fluid in Spirit. Your beliefs have Spirit molding the IT-self / plastic fluid into the image you believe to be true.

More later.
