I quite often meet various entities while meditating. If they want to connect, I first test for smell, and then intent. Then I might push them up through the planes to see where they can operate. Then I might put them in a light-dark spectrum to see where they are most comfortable If they pass the tests, by then I will have some sense of their quality and purpose and I will consider closer interaction

True believers are highly prized

Rightness of instincts requires consistency with the intent/directionality of that part of the local universe. That of course assumes that there is inherent intelligence within a universe. Some prefer to believe in randomness

I am not sure human concepts of good and evil are particularly useful in the cosmos. On the other hand The Source of All presumably was not just mucking around when generating various universes. Accordingly there may be merit in carrying out human actions so as to support the intent underlying the existence of this universe. Since that intent is largely unknown conceptually, perhaps it is a matter of humans having right instincts

No it is not guesswork. We can recognize what it is NOT. Binary worlds are wonderful

How does that work with parallel timelines?

I had a girl friend who remembered being burned as a witch. She said it was a very cold experience - as may be detected in the above photo She also said (from experience) that drowning is the easiest death - one panic breath of water then all is peaceful. She was annoyed at being rescued from the bottom of the pool

If we do not know how to test for spiritual mastery are we reduced to guesswork?

Of what is the spiritual master, a master? Surely there is more to master than the persona (mask) of a human. How to test for mastery of transpersonal energies?

The original question may be seen as a bottom-up view or as top-down Thus the human perspective of what is a spiritual master may be quite narrow, based on dense observations and beliefs. A top-down perspective might be quite different where those out of or beyond incarnation (within various species) may cause flows of emotional and mental energies and use higher intent to promote political outcomes that contribute to the development/purposes of the civilization and of this planet. It seems that each culture comes to a time of bearing fruit, after which it declines and is replaced by the next development in humanity

Long ago after a few years of meditation I was pleased with how harmonious I felt - 95% of the time. Then my meditation shifted to a deeper level and emotional trauma showed itself. I had suppressed that most of this life. Largely it was past life trauma including attention from the Holy Inquisition.

It may be that the state of relatively free flow of Light through the persona (mask) is the entry price for entering into the local cosmic community. Then, through work and experience the new cosmic worker progressively increases the flow of Light through the transpersonal bodies/vehicles - buddhi, atma etc After the transpersonal vehicles the cosmic worker begins to develop cosmic, universal and trans-universal vehicles and relationships to contribute to the great work In some accounts the local cosmic community is managed through Sirius, but there are many levels beyond The other day I was thinking that trans-universal is a clunky term. Immediately the word Empyrean came spelt into my mind In ancient European cosmologies inspired by Aristotle, the Empyrean heaven, Empyreal or simply the Empyrean, was the place in the highest heaven which was supposed to be occupied by the element of fire (or aether in Aristotle's natural philosophy). I suspect that Aristotle has been interpreted through religious filters https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empyrean

Quite so. Does the manifested Existence have any purpose? If it does, does the human race have any purpose? If it does, how do we go about it? Perhaps the Absolute was feeling bored when It decided to cause Existence?

You can certainly do that with personal karma by dealing with the original causes. That may take quite a lot of personal growth Group karma is a bit harder in that it is an artefact of the group. Karmic energies are like electricity - following lines of least resistance. Often there are several suitable flow options and an appropriate request by an appropriate human may result in a particular flow being moved. Planetary karma is a more profound version of group karma with connections from before this solar system existed. Almost every particle of energy within the planetary system is qualified by planetary karma. Occasionally a being posted into the planet may be excluded from the workings of planetary karma. Similarly universal and trans-universal karma

Long ago, for a week each morning in meditation I was taught a new technique. Rising on the planes was the first - and potentially the most important for spiritual science I sent you a private link a few weeks ago

Is that a half-remembering?

This universe belongs to a cluster of universes, and then to a cluster of clusters, and then to... We all get drawn to the center of The Source of All according to our alignment (of/with light flows), refinement (of plane energies) and intent (inner decision) It is called the Mahapralaya. It is the gap between cessation of this universe and the appearance of the next version of this universe

I am referring to not belonging to the human kingdom. There are perhaps 5% of those in human format that do not belong to the human kingdom. Thus the initiate may now belong to the higher deva (or other) kingdom but retain the human incarnation while convenient There are many great entities that each emanate myriad lines of light into various universes and species - even into Earth humans. Thus the entity is parallel processing on many planes, timelines and species. Better perhaps to consider each inner plane initiate as an anchor of a much greater entity rather than as a free-standing incarnation There are said to be some stages at which choice by the initiate is possible - perhaps the choice of cosmic path https://www.light-weaver.com/LW-old/initiation/7paths/rays.excerpts/path7.html Consider however the role of the human mother. Once birth has occurred, how many choices does the mother have? Mostly the inner plane initiates do whatever tasks are in front of them, as they learn the use of Intent (Atma and higher analogues) and operationalize their participation in Beingness Always the initiates anchor one or more threads of Light from much greater entities. Ending the uncontrolled cycle is a significant stage in the maturity of the initiate. It does not mean however, that the initiate abandons the species/planet that has cared for him/her for so long. Both my parents, immediately after their deaths, told me of the groups to which they had been assigned. My mother was learning to manage planetary meridians (and has now been promoted), and my father was learning about relationships. Certainly true. But what of those posted into this solar system? Are they free to depart after each incarnation? Long ago I worked as a casual laborer - typically the engagement was "job and finish". The faster we worked, the sooner we could go home. As below, so above

There is a complex structure that is held over so that the next incarnation does not start from zero. Thus the human race progresses - mostly

It is worth reading Fomenko's statistical analysis of the patterns repeating in official histories - change the date and a few names. For example the astrological charts in the ceilings of 30 ancient Egyptian tombs, when entered into computer software, are uniformly dated to our Middle Ages. How could that happen? https://www.amazon.com.au/History-Fiction-Science-Chronology-1/dp/1703003144 Start here https://archive.org/details/history-fiction-or-science-vol.-1 I have read the first 4 volumes, accordingly I do not trust historical accounts of any religion I am reminded: "It is too hard. I cannot hear it"

All soul-bearing specimens of whatever species are threads from The Source of All. There is much beyond Yechida that ex-human learns to control (internally) in order to perform its cosmic duties

Quite so - and control of those 5 levels (with other preconditions) qualifies the human for third stage enlightenment, and for exit from the human kingdom - retaining a human format while convenient At that stage the ex-human is thrust into its cosmic duties

This account is suitable for some purposes but when dealing technically with situations, a more detailed analysis may be required. For example in ancient Egypt and in the Kabbalah, the human has 5 souls

I appreciate useful discussions

It looks like improper actions cause discomfort to the greater Entity/Logos within which soul-bearing species live. The discomfort results in a pressure on the relevant entity/group/planet to mend its ways. Tradition indicates that the energy of karma is managed by "the recording angel", "the lipika lords". "the lords of karma". In practice these entities operate at planetary, systemic, galactic levels etc. Karma is like electricity, it follows lines of least resistance. Thus as the human enters into the progressive stages of enlightenment, it is possible to request the Lords of Karma to move flows of group karma to other lines of least resistance. With personal karma, the learning may have been achieved but the karmic energy is still in place. Usually the Lords of Karma will remove such energy on request.
