Eli greets you all.

No new project to be started for a month. For one month. Planetary orbits are in collision. All will collide with fears. Fears will come up to collide with you.

(Then he beckoned to Zafar and cradling his face in his hands spoke to him very softly and privately.)

Eli greets you all.

Jade Fire:

Good evening children.

Good evening, Sir.

For the first fifteen minutes we will today permit personal questions. We will first give our visitors the opportunity and then if time permits the inner circle group may ask their questions.

(Personal questions were asked and answered.)

Sir, from which dimension are you talking to us now?

We asked for your personal questions, but we will satisfy your curiosity. Child, I will not specify the exact dimension but I will give you a general answer with which you, yourself, can satisfy your curiosity. Councillors and those who are of the lower dimensions wok through the fifth dimension or the sixth. Guides (the first guides that you are introduced to) work from the sixth dimension to the ninth dimension. Ascended masters work from the ninth dimension onwards and our ascension is a continuous process, moving from dimension to dimension. Guides and masters, but not councilors are given the permission and the ability to come down to lower dimensions if the medium so demands. With the growth of the medium the masters can stay on the higher dimensions where they are and need not come to lower dimensions. Does that satisfy you?

My mom passed away last month and I still feel a vacuum. I just want to know how she is.

Child, the grief within your heart is not felt by you alone. Remember dear one, when a loved one passes on, your grief through its energy vibrations connects you to your loved one and sometimes does not permit the loved one to completely experience the unity of the light. Yes, you do feel an emptiness within but that emptiness must be filled by the love and strength that you can find within. The one who has passed on must be permitted to be given the freedom to move into the light completely without feeling any sense of responsibility for you. Letting go of grief does not mean letting go of love. In the absence of grief, love is pure and with the strength of the purity of your love, merging with the higher soul becomes much easier. When a soul passes on it does not at once merge with its higher soul. It takes its time. How long it takes depends upon how soon the soul wishes to move on, away from the bonds it has left behind. When you freely let go of a loved one, knowing full well that the loved one has gone nowhere, the process of merging with the higher soul will take place quicker and once the process of merging is complete, true peace descends upon the loved one and the loved one can begin the process of learning new tasks, new experiences and new joys. Do not permit there to be a vacuum within you, because if there is one there is a danger of it being filled by a physical bond of love which will not permit a dear one to move ahead.

Child, we do not recommend a conscious effort at past life regression for all. There is a reason for this. For most a past life regression may merely be fears and pains that lie within the soul subconscious being manifest and erroneously judged as past life experiences. For others, even if there is a genuine memory of a past life
experience, which comes at a time and a place, when you as a complete spirit being are not ready, it which may cause you more harm, because you will not be able to deal with that memory. For most what is more advisable is to permit these memories to come up in the natural course of events without any external pressure and if you desire to undergo an experience like this, you must be very wary of whom you are entrusting this upon. The person guiding you through this experience must be spiritually very evolved. The person must have gone through a long process of inner cleansing. The person must be completely aware of universal laws and truths.  If this not done through such a person and if the person is merely a regressionist or a hypnotist who does not have a very strong spiritual base, it will cause you harm.

Sir, I have been going through a lot of emotional pain for the past 4 years and I have been praying a lot but I don't know why my prayers have not been answered as yet. I just go on praying, praying, praying and I wonder why my prayers are still not being answered.

Because, my dear one, there is no one who will answer your prayers.  You are praying to some abstract, unknown, strange, familiar-unfamiliar Being that you have called God. When you are praying your prayers are being directed outside of you to this being which somehow only humans know about!  There is no such Being at all. I would not be surprised if all our visitors walked out at this point wondering what they are hearing. Here is one who claims to be a
Master and who now avers that there is no God! But I repeat…there is no God. And, my son, if there is no one outside of you to hear and heed your prayers, how will they be answered?

May we, if the group permits, take up the subject of prayer briefly? Prayers, dear ones, are not mere words. The words can differ; the words can be the same for generations. Prayer is not only chanting and prayer is not something you say like a parrot is taught to speak a few words. What is a prayer then? When the Masters, over the ages, have preached universal truths, they have done it in ways that were understood by some and not understood by others. But misunderstanding or an unclear understanding must not come in the way of a soul’s evolution and progress.  In order therefore to make it simpler for those souls who have not quite
understood the universal truths, the Master who came onto this Earth preached to a small select group that they knew would understand all that was spoken and unspoken. After the Master had departed the group began the process of putting
down for future memory the truths that the Master had spoken of. What they also did, was to put down certain words which had a rhythm, which had a chant because they knew that sound as well as word energy combines, when used correctly, to take the spirit being to another level of consciousness. This was the first introduction to prayer. But in the course of time, as we have explained earlier the Masters’ teachings were lost and those that were left behind and those that read the words that were written, began to adhere to the forms, to the physical structures without ever, ever experiencing the essence of the forms or the
structures.

Prayer became one such form that people adhered to and those who understood the language of the prayer, because sadly, they were written in languages not understood by the common folk. They were deliberately written in languages that was the language of the intellectuals of that society. And the common folk if they had to understand the words had to necessarily approach those intellectuals, who then gave themselves a position in society which seemed to make them superior to others. These intellectuals also did not understand or experience or even acknowledge the essence of the truth behind the form. They were therefore unable to train the others in this essence. What they therefore passed on, was only a form. A form which was already dead because it did not have the essence of truth behind it and the intellectuals went one step further. In order to ensure that the common folk would be held under their sway, under their supreme control, they introduced into the external forms the element of fear. Many of you know because you have heard us in the past and you know that fear is latent within the physical soul. It is this fear that was taken and brought to the surface by the intellectuals because no one can have greater control than one who rules through .And therefore God was created. The essence of the truth that each is a god was lost. The essence of the truth that there is a divine light and divine energy that permeates all and yet never, never becomes 'finite' was never imparted. Through this fear the forms were given down and ach was told that if these words were not spoken and those words were not said, there would be disaster, there would be ‘hell’, there would be Satan. And prayer became dry, meaningless, lost in this void of truth. So then what is prayer and why do we recommend prayer so often?

   
True prayer is not made to this God who is all-knowing, omnipresent, omniscient, and yet such a tyrant.  He rules with an iron hand and he metes out justice and not only does he mete out justice in a biased and prejudiced manner but he also favours some and very often he seeks to favour the ones you call 'wicked' and 'evil' and the ones who are good and pious are struck down by this 'God' time and again! And yet you all pray to this ‘God’!  Why haven't you felt the need to rebel against such a God? Why have you not felt the need to reject such a God? Why
have you perpetuated this 'myth' in your children by telling them "If you lie, God will punish you, if you disobey God will strike you. I wonder what kind of God you have! He seems to have no other task but to record all that you do, minute by minute.   He seems to be an idle god and yet you worship him and yet you perpetuate this myth!    

So my son, there is no God who is listening to you. There is Divine Consciousness of which you are an essential part. And when we ask you to pray, we do not ask you to pray to this external, partial, egoistic, arrogant dictator! We ask you to turn inwards, to experience your true essence so that in this experience all other truths will open themselves to you and then you will know why you have the emotional pain and then you will know why you have lost a dear one, and then you will know why your neighbour who is so ‘wicked’ seems to be blessed and you are not.  

When this truth has not been touched, you may pray every moment and not only will your prayers not be answered, but life will seem to give you   more and more kicks, more and more blows, each one severe. Yes, not each one is very good with the medium of words and those prayers that have already been written for you can be used, and can be used very effectively, only if you use them after you have understood the truth behind their form. These words over ages have now taken on a strength and power of their own. This strength and power has come to these words, because so many have, fortunately, through their process of inner searching, been able to come to the truth and this power of the truth has been imbibed into these words and they have a power. Now when these words are used even without the realization of the truth, the words may help you to a limited
extent, but that is all.

The only prayer that you need is "I am God".  When you are God you will never look outwards again. All process will be an inward journey. We do not ask you to do away with your rituals, we do not ask you to do away with your icons and idols. We do not ask you to do away with your prayer books. NO. You YOURSELF, through inner realisation, through inner growth, will come gradually and naturally to that stage, when you will not need them any more. But till the physical needs physical forms, in order to connect, not to an external being, but in order to connect to the 'internal', keep those forms, do not discard them. But keep them as mediums to go within not as excuses to just look out.  And so I repeat again, my son, if your prayers have not been answered, it is because there is 'no one' to answer them.  When you begin your inward journey you as this Spark, you will answer all the causes of your pain.

 From what you have explained, it seems that all religions and all which has been held out to us is completely distorted Sir. The rituals and everything.

Let us not be so quick in our judgement. Yes there is a lot of distortion and yes there is a lot of misinformation. But every religion is only a path shown by a different Master in order to enable you to merge with the higher consciousness.  Do not reject it out of hand. My son, if there is a little child, who has done something wrong, which you do not approve of, will you reject the child? Or will you look beyond what the child has done, to the purity and essence of the child's soul? And we ask you to use by this simple analogy for religion. Do not condemn
the Master, do not condemn the teachings. Accept, acknowledge, without judgement that, yes, others for their own purposes have used these truths
and yes, have distorted them. But, in order to enable your soul growth, if you can look beyond the distortion, then all religion merges in a vast sea
of knowledge. Remember my son; Masters have come at different times when
humanity was going through different levels in its own growth. What one
Master has preached and revealed may be added upon and given a new revelation by another Master who came later. And yet a third that came later added some
more dimensions of truth. So do not look at one religion; study them all. Do not condemn their outward forms. If they do not appeal to you, do not make them yours. But do not condemn.

 But Sir, I am not condemning them.  What I am saying is that these people who hold themselves out as keepers of religions are playing a fraud on us.

And how do you know that I am not? (Everyone laughed heartily) I wish you to answer that my son. How do you know that I am not? Because within your heart there is a resonance of truth. In all that is said to you, in all that is read to you, in all that you hear from any, do it, my son, without judgement. Don’t use words like fraud. If that truth that they perpetuate does not resonate with you, reject it. You have that right. But do not judge.

 But Sir, you yourself said that the original teachings of the Masters have been lost…

Yes. And that is why we are making you aware, that the essence of the truth
has been lost. But we are also asking you to study what is taught in a universal light and always remember, my son, what you study in a religion, must always be studied keeping in mind the historical period.  The kind of human beings, their level of consciousness. That is essential. Many Masters have used outside forms and rituals, not to dominate and control, but because a physical object was required to reach into the soul. So my son, yes there is distortion, yes there is a complete attempt by some, to deliberately distort in order to dominate and control. But
even this fact must be acknowledged yes, not judged.

You have mentioned about cleansing the soul or the self, what method should one adopt to achieve this cleansing of the soul or the self?

My son, there is a general way and within that general way for each soul there will be a particular personal method also involved. Therefore we will outline the general way.  In order to cleanse oneself within and we are not cleansing the Soul. The Soul is untainted. We are cleansing ourselves as channels to this inner core within us. And this inner core has been contaminated by the conditioning of the environment, conditioning of past lives and by this word that you are all so scared of: that is Pain.  How does one cleanse? The first step towards any cleansing is one great Soul-acceptance. That acceptance is, that "only I, only I can cause pain to me. Only I can bring joy within me. Only I am responsible for only me." That has to be accepted completely. Once it is accepted completely, you can never look outside of yourself. And my son that acceptance does not come easily.  Ask my inner circle members how many times they have been reprimanded for doing just that: looking outwards, apportioning blame, judging. So the first step is the most difficult one and yet the most crucial. Whenever there is a moment of pain, your first reaction from your conditioned mind will be, to look at the person causing you the pain and to blame him.  There seems to be a rest that comes to the mind, when blame has been externalised. What we wish to tell you is that like 'God' ’ Blame’ does not exist. There is no 'Blame'. When you blame my dear ones, you are b- 'lame'.  That is all.  So if there is no blame, what is it? It is 'responsibility'.  Looking inward with every action, with every word, with every thought, and making it yours and yours alone.  Yes – recognizing that there was an external stimulus, acknowledging that there was an external catalyst, which only did that task. In a chemical reaction, although a catalyst is essential, it does not take the responsibility of the entire chemistry!   It is only being used to serve a purpose!  And a catalyst, as any chemist will tell you, need not always be the same.  In a chemical reaction, you can have more than one substance used as a catalyst. Similarly, an external catalyst is merely that.  If not 'he', then might be 'he' or 'her'. They will just provide you with a catalyst. The reaction came out of your own inner conditioning. And therefore when a harsh word is spoken to you, and your first reaction is to apportion 'blame', become aware and stop. It will not happen overnight.  But gradually, if there is a will, if there is a focus it will take place, albeit slowly. As soon as you become aware, that you are externalizing, immediately turn 'within'. When you turn within, you then become the observer.  And let the scene
be enacted again before your mind's eye. Place yourself and the other and let the scene be enacted and take the task of the observer upon you.  When you have seen, observed the interaction and you have seen, observed the reaction, now comes the step 2.  Step two is a going down gently into the realms of your sub consciousness. It also involves a journey within your Super-consciousness. As you go down into the realms, deep and dark, unknown and strange, and yet having some resonance of fear, let your body fill with the peace of the Super-conscious and gradually ask yourself a series of questions.   Why did the words annoy me? Anger is nothing but pain that is externalized. Anger is often fear, unacknowledged within. What was the pain, what is the fear?  Where is the origin of this pain and fear? Is there a similar pattern that is followed in interaction?  The words may not be the same, but the pain it brings up, is the same. Now search the pain in depth. Try to reach the very root of your being. My son, you will find, and this may surprise you all, but you will find that within each there is one (or at times two) root. And all the different stimuli, and all the various catalysts, although they may seem so diverse in their physical appearance, all come down to one pointy of your inner core which takes a long, long time to reveal itself and yet the purpose of this inner cleansing is not merely to reveal this one root. It is an attempt to go deeper, closer to the root.  In most cases, the root is never touched.  And yet inner cleansing goes on, because every time you reach within, you bring out with you, whether consciously or completely in unawareness, you bring out a little bit of the dirt within.  That my son, was the GENERAL CLEANSING. When we are faced with questions which are asked by one person in particular, we will offer that person some external aids, which will help in the inner process.  Those EXTERNAL AIDS my son are DIET, some kind of MEDITATION EXERCISES, and SOME WORDS OF PRAYER OR CHANT. But none of these are of any effect, if first the INNER CORE, the essence of the truth that "you are God"….that has to be accepted at the soul level, without any disbelief.  And then all cleansing rises from this acceptance. Very often, the acceptance is at an intellectual level and has not quite reached the soul level.  And even this we encourage because you are all in this physical state, mental beings, and if there is a firm mental and intellectual acceptance of this truth, we know that gradually the truth will permeate to the deeper levels of consciousness.

Sir, the truth that you talk about, of going into your subconscious and/or super-conscious. How does one do this, it is so difficult, there being so many veils upon veils upon veils that it is almost impossible to penetrate.

Let me give you an example and let us make this example very practical; one which you all have faced at some time in your lives. Each one at some time has experienced another outside of yourself, who has not accepted your truth, who has disbelieved it, who has sneered, mocked and that has caused you hurt and pain. Depending upon the personality which you have in this physical incarnation, you will internalize this hurt and have a small box, 'Pandora's box', where all your hurt and pain is locked in and never opened. And outwardly you claim "I have forgotten the slight. It does not make a difference any more".  There are those amongst you, whose personality it is, to internalize and not lock in, but then externalize.  But the mind has been conditioned not to express hurt. And therefore the hurt is revealed very often as a wild rage. When this rage is uncontrolled and the pain levels rise very high, the focus of the rage will not become one human being but humanity itself. And so that is your first reaction.  Internal or external. Now we come to the process of inner cleansing with this practical example. You have been slighted, made to feel small, inadequate, impotent. Sit with yourself. Whenever you desire to do anything that is difficult or painful, have a physical manifestation of the Divine Light, with you. With eyes open at first focus only upon that light, that flame. Thoughts are of no consequence. Let them pass you by.  Do not make an effort to hold them back.  Let them come and let them go at will.  Let the light reach into your inner core to silence the agitation caused by the pain. If inclined, do breathing.  A carefully controlled breathing exercise, breathing in from the universe all its peaceful energy, breathing in from the divine consciousness realms all the energy of the truth and silence, breathing in from the Earth, all the energy of love and nourishment and nurturing. Let these energies flow within your being, consciously flow within your being, and soon you will find that the agitation has dispelled. The heartbeat will slow down the pulse will seem almost non-existent, and initially merely sit in this feeling of a new sense of peace and silence. If the silence wishes to speak to you, open your heart to what it has to say.  Do not force the peace and the silence to say anything to you. If at this time you do not wish to go ahead and you wish to stop, do so.  You can come back for the second phase, later but definitely not later than 24 hours.  If you come back later, once again go through the process of bringing in these energies of the realms and then when these energies have quieted you, when you feel a sense of no physicalness (and you will) your hands and your legs first, will just not seem to be there, or they will feel fuzzy as though suddenly you have been made out of cotton wool. In this state make a firm affirmation "I am God".  With this affirmation will come the truth,  that if you are God, then there is no other power that can hurt you, there is no other power that can falsely make you happy, there is no other power that can influence you and there is certainly no other power that can rule your life force.  
With this knowledge, now play out the scene  as an observer, only as an
observer. If you once again feel the resonance of the hurt and the anger, STOP! And bring in the energies again within you and then continue.  Till once you will be able to see this detachedly, truly as an observer and then without the burden of conditioning upon you, you will be able to "go within"   by permitting the Universe to put forth questions to you, in its silence.  Question which you will be, at first, tricked into answering by looking outwards.  When an answer like this arises, STOP! BE AWARE ! And look for another answer from within. Child, this will not happen in one day, or in two, or in three.  It is a process that goes on and on.  But if you do it with a genuineness, if you do it with the firm belief that your Soul HAS the strength to make all that you say is impossible, POSSIBLE,  that your Soul HAS the COURAGE to LIFT ALL VEILS,  soon there will come a time when you will not need to sit and look for answers. But as soon as an action takes place, or a word is spoken, or a thought passes by, the inner core will be touched at once. And as the process is on, and as you make more discoveries about yourself, and you may ask anyone who has gone through this 'inner cleansing', that the answers and the process is not pleasurable to the physical.  But it brings with it a sense of completion within yourself that NO ONE and NOTHING outside of you will be able to diminish. If in this process you wish to also physically cleanse yourself, because
remember child, physical cleansing makes 'emotional' cleansing a far easier process. If you wish to physically cleanse yourself, you MUST STOP putting into your body, those substances that release harmful acids. The body must be brought into an ALKALINE state gradually. Yes, acids are required but their use is limited. And when you put in external foods which encourage the body to release greater amount of acids, these acids work upon you physically in two ways. (1) They very effectively CLOSE the channels through which the spiritual energy flows and   (2) they take you to levels of consciousness that are very superficial. You cannot access deep levels of consciousness by ingestion of such food. And yet what is important is, is that such foods cannot be stopped all at once. It has to be done by a gradual process and the best way to leave such foods, is when the physical body itself feels NO desire for them at all.

Now what are the foods that will help you? All foods of the plant kingdom.  My dear ones, the plant kingdom evolved first. Why? Because all other evolution would take sustenance from it.  And the humans came much later.  And at first, sustenance was derived ONLY from plants - fruits, vegetables, herbs, flowers, leaves.  All these became the source of nourishment and they were eaten in the form in which they give you the largest nutritive value - raw - uncooked.  But as human beings began to experience their strength over others, and they realised and acknowledged that I am a being unlike any other, there came a desire to dominate. And how best can you dominate but by KILLING and eating that what you
kill.  Domination was complete. No more would the humans learn from that which had come before them. And the human body began to change. Change in ways which permitted this form of false nourishment to be taken in without harm. But with this change the human being left behind his realm of the spiritual and moved ahead into the realm of the material. Yes this is a natural course of events that had to take place with the earth's larger blueprint. And now the cycle of nourishment has come a full circle and the human body is once again on the brink of change. We have already told you in the past, that subtle unseen changes are
already present in the bodies of your children.  And the human body has come to that stage when it will come back to its true source of sustenance.  You can aid your process of spiritual cleansing by this one large fact. Be aware of what you have put within you.

 
So many of you go regularly to your temples and what do you do?  You remove the footwear so that you do not bring dirt from outside into a place of consecrated energy.  You bathe; you wash, once again so that the place is not dirtied by you.  And yet, you are God and this same god resides within this physical temple and you pay no attention to the dirt that you bring into this temple! And then you wonder why I am not growing?  Why am I not being cleansed? Why are my prayers not being answered?  Why am I facing problems? You give more importance to the physical structure of a temple than you give to the only real temple that there is. So that is your greatest aid to physical cleansing. Alcohol, drugs, smoke, coffee, tea, chocolates, milk, milk products.  All these cause you harm and all these are your ‘foundation’.  Is it surprising then that spiritual growth and emotional cleansing is impossible?

Sir everything on this earth in this life is a living thing. And when we cut down the plants/crops, are we not killing them Sir?

No, my son. Because their "soul" purpose, is to sustain you.

Sir may I ask a question ? Sir I had gone out of Bombay for a very short time and a very strange thing happened. I have come back drained of all energy and I cannot even eat properly. Could you please what has happened?

We will give you, my child, a diet for the next week through this
child.  

Thank you Sir.

Your energy has been drained by the presence of a few individuals whose own low energies robbed from you the higher state energy that you have now attained. It will take a conscious effort on your part to bring back this state.

Thank you Sir.

Jade Fire blessed all and the meeting closed.
