Divyaa:
Greetings! Again I’m linked and being asked to speak as Divyaa. What I am receiving is somehow linked or adds or connects to what was spoken here in the class; the exercise you all did with the piece of cloth being the universe and each ripple being you, your current self. Keeping this same example in your minds of the cosmos but now each ripple will be the different dimensions, because this forms a background to what Zafar and Divyaa spoke the last time on multi-dimensional mirrors and space and time.
Most of you are aware that at Source, whom or what we shall call God Self, Source just IS. It is pure being. It is the bliss of pure being. I AM THAT I AM. At this stage in linear terms, because there are no stages or steps in God-Self but we need to use those words for our linear understanding, so at this stage there are no concepts of mirrors because Source is just being without experience of knowing. In fact, we have no words to describe this non-experiential experience. At some point, in this Source, arises, in linear terms, a desire to experience and further know itself. What is this bliss that I AM? It wishes to view this bliss, so to say. Now as Source is all there is, this experience can only be of its own qualities and aspects and more importantly, the medium, in which it can view itself, is manifested by Source itself. And this is what we normally call Pure Consciousness. It is the medium Source manifests of itself to view itself and all that it views within it all its qualities and aspects are what you call creation. And this is where the concept of mirrors arises because in its very highest potential, Consciousness itself is the mirror, is the multi-dimensional mirror, in which I see all that I am and all of creation, all my worlds, universes, what you may call dense matter, all my aspects and qualities are reflected within this and what you call creation. Now, all of you here must understand that this is for the sheer knowing of the bliss that I am, so that I may experience and joyfully know all my different aspects and qualities and pirouette, in the splendour that I am.
Now most of you must know some beautiful young woman who has spent a creative evening in front of her mirror, enjoying the wonder and beauty of what she is, trying on all her clothes, accessories, jewelry, mixing, matching, donning, removing. Yes, my dears, this is what creation is. Now it’s important to pay attention because, just as this young woman in her mirror can see her entire image, yet she chooses at different times, to focus on each beautiful, individual aspect that she is, yes, she observes and focuses and takes pleasure, in the eyes, in the glossy lips or the pink nails, yes, every individual aspect is reveled in and, my dears, this is what you call, dimensions comes into your understanding because if you note, in the mirror is the entire image at all times; that piece of cloth you’ve opened today. But just as this girl can choose to focus on each individual aspect, those ripples you made in your cloth, the same way I choose to view all my individual aspects. So the larger the view, the wider the view of my whole self, in your terms, higher the dimension. When I choose to focus on my universal creative mother self, you will call it the highest of dimensions. When I focus on a beautiful integrated part of me, what you call Masters, you will view that as another dimension. When I view the part that you call humanity, you call it the 4th dimension. When I view all, which you call dense matter, you refer to them as lower dimensions. But, my dears, each dimension is only an individual focus of mine, so that each focus may be an experience. That is what dimensions are and this should give us a background to understanding how my universe is reflected in the mirror of my consciousness and why the concept of dimensions arises. Of course, this is from my point of view. From yours, your conscious awareness, which is your realities, what you see around you, are your mirrors, which reflect what is within you, just as mine reflects all that is within me.
You must take this concept home and intuitively see where it takes you. If you have truly understood what we are saying, that each dimension is only my particular focus, a camera angle if you like, you will better understand why there is no space. I am receiving something on space, which is difficult for me to translate but I shall do so.
As each dimension, in your terms, space, is only a particular focus of mine. You may better understand that there is no thing like space. If you understand the background, we shall give you today, and add it to your scientific knowledge, you will get a larger picture. Yes, you must understand that science, your science, always gives you the view from your point of view, and the point of view that we give you can only be an intuitive understanding from the larger aspect. If you combine both, you will be home dry.
We shall ask you, each of you present, to now focus on the individual current selves that you are; the Nandinie, the Darshna, the Yezad. Now, conjure all your highest potentials actualized. Do this with us. All your dreams, all your desires, actualize. For example, you may be a student in a university, in America and a happily married woman, in India. You may be a successful businessman or a drifter who travels through the world. You may be both. You may be so many more. So, actualize and think of all your desires and potentials. When you do that, not only for this exercise but on a moment-to-moment basis, you create, what you call daydreams, but you create thought forms. We use some of your thought forms. In our example, we are viewing the man, the businessman in his plush office. We are viewing the student in a beautiful campus. We are viewing the traveler on a ship, sailing without care. In the same manner, we invite you to view your thought forms. Now what’s happened? Where are these thoughts? Where are these thought forms? From your point of view, they have no space. They are in your mind. They are in one point. Yes, but from the point of view of the thought form, which is floating around somewhere, it creates its own separate individual space to exist so that it doesn’t become part of some cosmic soup. That is why you can view each daydream, each thought form, separately because it exists in its own separate space and hasn’t become part of a cosmic energy soup. Yes, my dears, all your thoughts, every thought form exists in its own reality. You may call it a very nebulous and unreal reality but in its own reality it has as much validity as you have in yours; even you will appear nebulous and unreal to other light beings with wider focus, or what you call higher dimensions. But each thought form, which is what all of you are, have made a very tangible space for yourself so that each potential of yours may be actualized. Just as I want to experience all that I am and always, as above, so is below, so each of you also chooses to experience each and every aspect, potential, desire that is yours.
And these thought forms have a reality. The only reason you consider your thought forms as nebulous is because you do not acknowledge the vital creative power that you are because of the journeys you are on, and what you call, the veils. Yes, you do not acknowledge the creative power and so you think it is diluted and so you consider thought forms to not exist. But when I create and choose to see and be every aspect that I am because of my undiluted creative power, each aspect lives in its very tangible reality.
Again, my dears, this is from my point of view because where I am concerned, there is nothing than me. There is no space other than me. It’s all in what you call ‘my mind’. Yes, but now you have understood perhaps that all dimensions and space are only different focuses of mine, different angles which create their own space, so that they can give out their potential. From your terms, even now in the room for example where you are, all dimensions exist. Yes, you’ve heard that before. Why is that? Because there is only one point so when you want to focus on a larger dimension, a higher dimension, when you want to view your Masters and Gods, all you have to do is change your focus. You do not need to go rushing around, whizzing about in the skies. It is all in one point through a change of focus.
I’m getting something on time but it’s too complicated to translate. You must also understand that these concepts of space and time are so difficult to understand because you’ve chosen to experience space and time. You have chosen to have it encoded in yourselves and DNA so that you do not forget when you come. Yes, so do not worry why can we not experience it? Why can we not experience no time, no space? You have chosen the experience of time and space. And just as there is no space, there is no time. Of course, the easiest analogy and whenever you’re confused, use analogies to understand intuitive grasping of concepts; if you now focus on one of your thought forms, you will see that some are old, some are young, some have lived out their whole life. So in the same point where there is no space, there is no time.
A good analogy for you to work with would be to visualize yourself in a museum. Conjure that this museum has many rooms, each depicting a different era. One displays the artifacts of the 18th century; one is a futuristic room; one is pre-historic and just as you can walk into whatever room you like, it is the same, my dears. You can take birth in whichever era you like. Even now there are other selves of yours, who are currently taking life in different eras. You choose that era in which you require growth or understanding, according to the human consciousness present, of each era.
Another example, which may help is to understand time as a pool or probabilities. One pool. Perhaps you may conjure this room as one pool in the now and you take birth in that corner of the room, in that time frame, in that era, in those probabilities that you desire to have around you, as your environment for your growth. Now usually, in what you call childhood, these factors form the basis of forming your life experiences. But as you grow, and you may now move from one corner of the room to another corner, then all the probabilities from around you here become, what you would call, your future choices. That is why again, all you’re doing is shifting your focus. You may shift your focus to whatever you would like to be in the now and your probabilities around you will develop accordingly. This is the best that I can translate.
ELLAEENAH’S CHANNELING:
Greetings! To continue. How do your religions mirror this universe? You have always considered each religion as separate, distinct, having its own rules, so to speak, its unique explanations, its Gods, its Goddesses, its deities, its sages, its prophets, its teachers, its followers; and in all these various labels, you have forgotten that no universe can exist in time, or exists time-less, as do religions. But as explained, when the focus of humanity’s consciousness at large, shifts to one aspect of the universal field, it manifests into physical reality this aspect for experiential use. And so with miracles, which you wish to manifest. But till you have understood that you will have a miracle of that aspect which you focus your attention upon, you will constantly live in an abstract world of semi-real knowledge.
So let us look at how religions, though they seem to have occurred chronologically in your historical realities are still timeless and uniquely connected. And no religion is therefore, distinct and separate from another. For this purpose, we will use your own historical knowledge and understanding, because unless we use something of your own fertile mind, what we speak off will only appear abstractions.
So we will start with that age when the elements of nature became the gods and so you had Ra as the Sun God and you had Indra as wind; and every culture started from this symbolic representation of the universe, taken to be religion. How was the universe mirrored? Ra as a deity and as a god that manifested only in the conscious mind of humanity and nowhere else, was given aspects of power and control and authority; the ability to wield and manipulate, the ability to move and create and destroy, and that was none other than the manifestation for a human being to understand the power of energy of the sun. It is the sun that creates and it is the sun that can destroy. The sun controls your very movement of the day with its rising and setting. The sun controls your very body rhythms as it wields its power. And so each element, in order to be understood as an aspect of nature itself, was given the position of a god, and these were worshipped as dearly as you worship your gods today.
And then man evolved and understood that these gods were none other than symbols; symbols used by the ancient teachers to teach of nature and its elements so that man, in that period of evolution, would understand the power of nature, which he, himself, had created with his focus. But he had to understand it. Even though he had created it, he hadn’t understood its immense power. And these gods, as representative symbols, explained and manifested in reality for them, what they had not understood in abstraction. When that was completely understood, there came other gods that replaced the old. The universal truths now put before mankind had been raised to another level of truth, as is so often done with you. When one truth is understood, that truth is used as the foundation to develop upon and present to you an even higher truth.
And so there came, in your culture, the trinity of the Brahma and Vishnu and Shiva, the Creator, the one who maintains, and that who destroys. And what are they mirrors of? Brahma, that which is in you to create. The eye of Brahma looks and when it looks, it’s creating but when Shiva opens his eye, he destroys; that which he focuses on comes to nought. And see this beautiful representation in yourself. As the Brahma energy, you are capable of all creation and the universe shows you this mirror by the creation of a deity called Brahma, so that you can see outside of you clearly when the inner vision is still dull and dim. And that which you create, you preserve with care and nurturing, and that is Vishnu. When you create, do you not wish to keep it safe? And then it goes one step beyond, and asks you then to destroy your own creation. It asks you to open your eye of Shiva to see that that which you have created and preserved, with such care, has now lost its significance in your evolution and must make way for something new. And when that eye of realization of Shiva opens, you surrender and allow the destruction of your creation to take place so that as Brahma, creation is all anew. But you need to see it outside of you. You need to see the picture of Vishnu. You need to see the ling of Shiva because without external vision, nothing exists in your reality.
But then what about Islam, that great religion that strongly advocates no icon, no idol, no picture, no worship, no prophet? The followers of the religion worship Allah, not Mohammed. They respect and revere him as the manifestation of a human being who came to teach this great religion. And then, what does this religion mirror when it has no prophet, no image, no statue? It mirrors the universe’s unity, a reality that cannot be manifest; that can only be experienced. And so there is a thread. When you needed to manifest the universal truths there came religions that helped you to manifest, but when mankind was ready to accept, what appears to be an abstract knowledge of universal unity, without focus on one deity, there came Islam, where it now tried to take mankind’s focus away from individual gods and goddesses. It attempted to teach the truth that ALL IS GOD. There is no God but God and Allah is His manifestation. There is no God. Time and time have you been told ‘to whom do you look up to?’ There is no external God, but God (pointing towards the inner self). I AM the Universe. Ahum Brahmasmi. There is no God but God and when you wish to give a name, it manifests as Allah.
And then let us discuss Zarathustrianism, your very first modern religion that is monotheistic, that believed again, in the presence of only one Universal Being; that removed the concepts of individual gods and goddesses and deities; that asks you to focus on one point of unity, which that religion, instead of calling Allah, calls Ahura Mazda. Ahura Mazda… The Creation of That Which Is Light and Wisdom. And isn’t that universal energy? The creation of that which is Light, in wisdom. And yet, this monotheistic religion came at a time when it could not remove completely from humanity’s consciousness the concept of a physical prophet, and therefore its disciples to date worship a picture they believe to be the Zarathushtra. And yet, how few of these disciples remember that the Zarathushtra that they worship was not one teacher but several who came and went. But they worship one. And because this monotheistic religion occurred at a time when people believed in the separation and severalness of gods, through the teachers of this religion, the separateness was collected together and given one symbol, still permitting the people to worship that picture, knowing that humanity was not yet ready to have no picture at all.
And then, Christianity; your manifestation, your mirror, again of the Universal Being which now you called the Christ. And different religions gave the universal essence a different name, whether it be Allah, Ahura Mazda or the Christ. But Christianity went beyond even what the Zarathushtrian religion had propagated. It came as a continuation. And what was this continuation? The Zarathushtrian religion had attained what it wished to, and brought about the removal of the separateness of gods. And then the Christian religion explained the universal essence. Islam spoke of the unity of the universal essence; the various aspects of the universe were explained through its diverse essences by Christianity. How? With symbols of Jesus and Mary and Joseph. Symbols.
But before them was another religion, Judaism, which laid the foundation stone for this to evolve. And when anything is used as a foundation, it must, perforce, become radical, at some point in time, so that humanity is ready to move away. And that was served. The purpose was served by Judaism, making way for the symbols of Christianity. Jesus, what is he a symbol of? What is he a mirror of?
Love.
No, my beloved, he is not a mirror of love at all. Jesus’ life, (as written in your books, which you accept as reality), Jesus’ life was about miracles. Reclaiming your universal essence. Manifesting into your reality that which you desired. Jesus mirrored the powers of healing and creating, making way for the new ages of the future. But these powers would now not be manifest in one man alone, but in several that walk the Earth in his footsteps. And what did his mother, beautiful Mary, portray, mirror, symbolize? It is the symbol of love, nurturing, Brahma-- Jesus, Vishnu, preserving, caring, loving, nurturing—Mary, and then destroying…when Jesus himself went on to the cross. This created a manifested being that symbolized an aspect of the universe, which then opened his own eye to the reality of illusion, destroying that which was created.
And so each religion adds to another. It is not separate. There is a thread of continuity running through and the symbols of one religion help and aid in the manifestation of symbols of another religion and yet, through it all, there must be one religion that talks of no symbols. In all of manifestation, there must be the manifestation of that which is illusion and there must be a manifestation of that which is reality and that is Islam. And these religions co-exist, each showing you their different faces, their symbols, their mirrors of the universe.
How then, my dear friends, how then these foolish, foolish wars fought on the basis of truth? Truth is restricted and bound by you, by time, by space and so countries and nationalities and peoples are given labels according to religion and each one focuses then their attention to only one ripple in the truth of the cosmos, believing that only that one ripple is the cosmos.
Why were religions vital? Did you not need in this class that just preceded, did you not need the physical representation of the cloth to understand the ripple? And yet, you claim to have evolved. (Laughter) But you needed the physical reality and that is what all religions have done. At points in your time, when humanity’s consciousness has been focused on one aspect of universal truth, in order to then experience and understand this aspect, humanity’s consciousness created religions. There was no prophet before you created him. And if today, while sitting here, you take the conscious decision to make this instrument (Ell) into a revered form for your worship that is what she will become because you will manifest it. But if you can go beyond the need to have an external focus of worship, and maintain the need to the internal focus of worship within you, she will remain what she is. And so every god and goddess and every manifested energy is your mirror. It mirrors what you manifested in a certain period of humanity’s consciousness.
And now we will go into something even more complicated. You know that you exist severally as your own energies, (we are not even talking of severally as the universal energies; that is too wide) but as your own energies, you exist severally on different planes, different dimensions, different points in evolution. Now, my dear, if one aspect of your energy wishes to experience humanity’s consciousness of separation of universal essence in its various gods and deities, that aspect of your energy will now take birth in that period of time and will exist and experience itself without having conscious knowledge of you. But, but, because it is the same energy having a different experience, the depth of your wisdom must influence that aspect of your energy. Now do you understand why you understand what you do? Because there is an aspect of you that has already understood far more than you can even see and is influencing you today. Now can you understand how, without having any conscious knowledge of who you are severally, you can still focus your intention upon expanding them all, by only expanding this part of energy that you are experiencing? It must travel forth. It’s the same energy. And if that can happen to universal energy, can you then understand, how humanity’s consciousness changes? It takes one god to change humanity’s consciousness, one god. You can be that God because you already are, but when you believe that you are that God, then humanity around you will believe the same, because humanity around you are only spokes of the wheel of which you are the hub.
And then come the various symbols that you use in your religions: the water and the coconut and the rice and the saffron and the vermilion and the various animals, each only a symbol, only a mirror of the universe.
Let us take the symbol of the coconut. Outside it is covered with husk; husk that is rough and coarse and each strand of the husk can be separately seen. And when this husk is peeled, there comes a hard shell, a shell that has to be broken, surrendered to, to reach the God Self within, and when that is broken, when the eye of Shiva opens and the coconut destroys itself, it looks within and sees that tender pure kernel, white, emanating light and holding within it, the water, the flow of universal essence. And these are used as symbols by ancient teachers and Masters, only as symbols. They only mirror the truth they wished to talk off. They become religious symbols when you focus your attention on them as religious symbols.
And so the choice is yours. What is going to be your focus? Is the universal essence too abstract for you because it is not tangible? Can you because of that not focus upon it? This is your question to ask and then ask, "If I am God, what am I mirroring? What aspect of the universe, as humanity’s consciousness, created into reality by my existence?" Because humanity’s consciousness has created you as a mirror. To what? Ask these questions of yourself.
Always remember that unless the eye of Shiva can open, the eye of Brahma cannot see creation. You have to permit that which you have created to be destroyed. And with conditioning, you have created who you are, at present, which you now must destroy so that you can rightfully become Brahma. You can become the Jesus, a symbol of manifestation that miracles can be wrought. And then (to Kaushal) my dear friend, if all these are only symbols, how can they be ever larger than your own opinion of yourself? Your god then, is as limited as you. Your Baba is then, as limited as you because unless you were larger, how would you mirror them? And if you then see them as such large aspects of your own self, then you have to acknowledge, without any false ego, that you are as large; otherwise, any deity, any prophet, any energy that you believe in, becomes as small as what you consider yourself because they mirror you. You do not mirror them. They mirror you. You are the universe, creating all the mirrors that only mirror you as the universe.
Greetings!
