Great Genius Insights into Everything

Why are there so many different religions?

“The logical answer is that there are many different people on planet Earth, and they are in many different states of consciousness. If religion is a form of communication from the spiritual realm, it follows that this communication must speak a language that people can understand.

When you consider the vast cultural differences between various groups of people, it seems likely that one religion simply cannot appeal to every human being on this planet. Therefore, we might consider that our spiritual teachers give a specific religion to a specific group of people. The goal is to help these people raise their awareness and their level of consciousness.

The consequence is that any religion is adapted to the level of consciousness of the people to whom the religion was given. This is a stunning conclusion, because we now see why there are so many different religions and why it is meaningless to fight over which religion is the best one or the only true one.

If religion is simply a tool for raising people’s consciousness, it follows that the best tool for a specific group of people is the tool that is adapted to their current level of consciousness and has the best potential for helping them rise above that level. In other words, one size simply does not fit all. Different people need different religions!

Consider for a moment the situation faced by our spiritual teachers. When you look at the amazing diversity found on Earth, it becomes obvious that if you want to reach people with a spiritual message, you must take an individualized approach. To reach a specific group of people, you must speak a language that they can understand. You must use spiritual concepts that they can grasp with their current level of consciousness. You must also consider what people are willing to accept.

The reason we are discussing the topic of religious conflicts is that people are very sensitive about religion. Most people are not willing to look at ideas that go too far beyond their current beliefs. This might present an interesting challenge for a spiritual teacher seeking to help people raise their consciousness. Such a teacher might be limited by people’s current beliefs and unable to give them ideas that are too far beyond those beliefs.

This leads to the conclusion that a specific religion might never have been meant to give a final, complete or infallible doctrine. A religion might never have been meant to be the ultimate religion. It might be a measured response to a crisis. It might be adapted to a group of people in a certain state of consciousness. The purpose is not to give the ultimate truth, but to help these people grow to a higher level of awareness in which they can receive a more advanced spiritual teaching.”

The Epic Dramas Created by Angels in this World

“The angels can create dramas that take the duality consciousness to its ultimate extreme by portraying God as one dualistic polarity that is opposed by another dualistic polarity of equal strength—or at least of such strength that there is a real battle and a real potential for God to lose some souls. Do you see that co-creators simply could not create such a drama from their limited perspective? Only the unascended angels have the perspective – without the full understanding – to create such an epic drama.

The essence of a drama is that you think that your goals in life (even your salvation) depend on the choices made by other people. In other words, the drama makes it seem like you are not responsible for your own destiny; the people around you are, and thus you have to try to force their will. Epic dramas add that in order to ensure the fulfillment of God’s plan, in order for people to be saved, in order for the battle of Armageddon to be won, you must deal with the free will of all human beings. Instead of just saving yourself, you now have to save the entire universe.

The net effect of this illusion is that it focuses attention on the splinters in the eyes of other people. This causes people who have taken on the drama to use the drama’s “perfect” excuse for NOT looking at the beam in their own eyes. Why is this a problem? Well, here is another absolute statement: As long as you are NOT looking at the beam in your own eye, YOU ARE NOT GROWING!!! It really is that simple and there is no way around it.

Yet this is precisely what the dramas make it difficult for people to see. Once you enter a drama, you can no longer see it as a drama. You think that the view of life – the mental box – presented by the drama is real, that it represents the way life really works. Thus, you have the “perfect” excuse for not even considering that the drama is unreal, that it has no more reality than what you – and other people – give to it and that you CAN indeed walk away from it any time.

Consider what you would say about an actor who had become convinced that he really was Hamlet and who refused to take off the costume, insisting on playing the role even outside the theater and claiming he really was the prince of Denmark. You would probably think the person had lost touch with reality. Yet your own personal drama has the exact same effect—it causes YOU to lose touch with reality.”

The Four Levels of the Material Universe

“Everything is sustained only by a stream of God’s energy that flows from the spiritual realm into the material universe. On a personal level, the energy flows from your spiritual self through the layers of the subconscious mind until it reaches the conscious mind. The energy flows from the realm of spirit, or ether, and it first enters the realm of fire. Some esoteric teachings call this the etheric octave or the memory body. I would like to call it the realm of identity. This is the part of your mind that stores the memories of your experiences in the material world. It also stores the sense of identity that you have built up through your soul’s journey, over many lifetimes, in this world. When the basic life energy first enters your mind, or being, it flows through your sense of identity. It is therefore colored by your sense of identity. Your sense of identity also includes how you see the world, God, your relationship to the world and your relationship to God. It is therefore the foundation for how you respond to life in this realm.

After the energy flows through your identity body, it enters the realm of air. This is what some teachings call the mental body. I would like to call it the realm of thought. In this realm the energy is colored by your thoughts about yourself and the world. Your thoughts are very much determined by your sense of identity, but because they reside at a lower level of your being, they are more fluid and can be changed more easily than the deeper images that make up your sense of identity. In other words, your thoughts can be adapted to or influenced by specific situations you encounter in this world. One might say that your sense of identity determines how you see the big picture, whereas your thoughts relate to how you understand details of that picture. Your sense of identity determines how you see the world, and your thoughts determine how you think the world works.

After the energy flows through the thought body, it enters the realm of feeling. This is the emotional body, the feeling realm, and it contains your feelings about yourself and the world. Emotions are simply energy in motion, and they are the forerunners for physical action. So your emotions determine how you act upon thoughts. One might say that a thought itself cannot lead to action. A thought is simply an idea, and in order to be translated into a physical action, the thought must have the two qualities that are added by an emotion. These two qualities are direction and intensity. Your emotions will direct your thoughts into a specific action, and the intensity of your emotions will determine the power of the action.

The final step is that the energy enters the physical brain and nervous system. It is at this level that your emotions are translated into actions, and the actions will be determined by the direction and the intensity of the emotions behind them. Of course, the direction and intensity of the emotion is determined by the thought, and the thought is determined by your sense of identity and your world view.

You now see that the natural flow of energy through your being is that energy streams from your spiritual self through your identity body, where it is colored by your world view. The energy then flows into your thought body and is colored by your thoughts. The energy now flows into the feeling body and takes on the direction and intensity determined by your emotions. Finally, the energy is translated into a physical action carried out by your brain, your nervous system and your physical body.”

How to Create Any Change in the Matter Universe

“Above the matter realm are three divisions that still belong within the greater spectrum of the material universe. When you move from the matter realm into the next division, you enter a realm which we might call the realm of feeling. Above that is the realm of thought and above that the realm of identity. In many older religions and philosophies, such as Buddhism, the Greeks or the esoteric teachings used by the alchemists, these four realms were described as the four corners of the Earth. They were labeled Earth, Water, Air and Fire. This concept corresponds to the ancient idea of the squaring of the circle. The circle represents Heaven, and it is infinite and undivided in terms of time and space. It corresponds to the ether. The square represents Earth, or rather the material universe. The material universe is the realm of space and time. It is created by taking the infinite realm of the circle and dividing it into four directions, four dimensions, that manifest as the coordinates of time and space.”

“One might say that the matter universe is simply a projection of the images found in the three higher levels. Truly, the matter universe is no more real than the images projected on the screen of a movie theater. When you contemplate this concept, you realize that changing the matter universe can – and indeed must – be done by changing the three higher levels of the material world. On a personal level, if you want to change your outer circumstances, you must begin by changing your feelings, your thoughts and your sense of identity. Only when you change the images found in the three higher bodies, will you change the images that appear in the matter world. Likewise, on a planetary scale, the key to removing human suffering is to purify the feeling, the thought and the identity body of the planet as a whole. The reason being that the physical planet is a projection of images held in these higher realms.”
