  1. New Age Spiritual Sources - Good/Bad

    I found a great channeling from the Law of One people channeling the being Q’uo that resonated with me regarding this topic: “Each individual entity, each group of entities, in the end all the unity of entities, insofar as they have the capacity to activate, evaluate and judge have no capacity for logically, rationally proving any authority from the outside in. In our opinion, neither any entity’s self, higher self, nor any teacher that still speaks or thinks or considers has knowledge of the mystery of the infinite Creator. By saying this we wish to establish a basis upon which we may build. The foundation of the right consideration of an entity’s position as judge of its own creation depends firstly upon there being no authority that is final. No hand or word has the master’s authority over servants of the infinite One, for the infinite One has established that in all manifested creation there be no final, provable answers. As entities discover what seem to be definitive answers, the edge or furthest limit of knowledge is pushed back, and it is discovered that beyond that new pioneering frontier of knowledge there lies still an infinite mystery. Now, it is well for a student of any subject or field to do research, read, and gather tools and resources for coming to understand that field of inquiry. Those who seek along a spiritual path are not so different from those who seek to learn how to work one of your machines or learn a previously unknown skill. There is the studying, the processing of many facts into subjectively formed categories and organizations, and in the end there is [you] with a more enlightened point of view concerning the field of inquiry which has been studied. We encourage those who hunger and are not yet filled by spiritual food to seek out experiences with entities visible or invisible and to read that which they consider helpful. All of the information on each page of written work, each thought from a channeling source, is to be enjoyed. However, this is not to say that all is simply to be accepted. Nor are we saying that if many things seem wrong about a source there is no good in it, for even the most inaccurate contact, dealing with the most fear-driven subjects, are attempting to serve the one infinite Creator. And those which listen to or read these perhaps wrong-headed thoughts may be offered much erroneously fearful information. Still, there is at least the gathering together for reasons of spiritual inquiry. And as this energy brings entities together to seek, so no matter how faulty the group may seem there is the effect of help from each consciousness present to each other as all form a circle of seeking. There are several ways to consider how to form one’s own opinions and value them. We might suggest that when information is being evaluated the seeker stop to reflect as to which energy center or centers are being activated by this information. For instance, information which focuses upon matters of survival is driven by the instinctual energies of the red ray, [all in] the reflection, naturally, from the yellow ray physical existence. We speak of inner rays here, rather than densities. If information is offered concerning the moving together of some who are different from others, or simply if there is information about groupings and joining or avoiding groups it may be seen that there are many energies of the yellow ray. And if there is information concerning this or that messiah or special chosen entity, then it must be left to the entity itself to evaluate whether the attraction of this savior is resonating with the red, the orange, and/or the yellow ray. All of this sort of information tends not to activate or enhance the healing powers of the opened heart or green ray. It is within the more abstruse and abstract regions of theoretical considerations that the inspiration of words or thoughts might be offered which open the heart or the powers and energies of communication. And it is within the student only that the indigo ray is activated by any material whatsoever. For work to be done in consciousness, the consciousness must have its attention upon doing the work. We might take a different tack in this matter of personal discrimination. Now, we are saying simply that each spiritual seeker, having its own universe, must and shall evaluate for itself all stimulus which comes into the sensory net of awareness. From the first impressions to the end of the most involved and recondite argument all that is processed by a spiritual student is accurate to that student, and the only authority is that student, for the infinite Creator Itself, while offering constant love and support, does not wish to influence the experiences of any being. All beings are free to experience what and as each chooses. This is that which is the seeker’s gift to the infinite One. No outer authority may be considered, in our opinion, a satisfactory substitute for an individual’s inwardly moved framework of opinion. So we encourage each student to think of itself as responsible in that the will of the infinite Creator is that there be love. Each is love, and each experiences love. This is that which is the truth insofar as we know it. Putting this truth into manifestation is a task whose characteristic is polarity or apparent difference. Without this, there can be no manifestation, for love experienced as love is an eternal tautology when considered as a way of knowing as opposed to the way we grasp being[ness]. So each of you is sovereign—the judge and jury of those things which come to each entity’s attention. If that is accepted, then it can be seen that there is a certain desirable character, or group of characteristics, which may be attributed to a responsibly working spiritual student. The teacher known to you as Jesus the Christ spoke of this when it said to its students to be wise as serpents and innocent as doves. The serpent is a symbol for wisdom, and it is wise in apparent manifestation also. The first sense is that of the symbol. This symbol of wisdom is expressed in your cultural myth by the gift of the serpent which was making available the knowledge of good or evil. In other words, wisdom has to do with a personal ability to judge whether something is good to that person. This kind of decision is strictly personal, and cannot and should not be offered in dogmatic fashion for others. The other way in which the serpent is wise is that when an enemy or possible enemy comes into hearing or sensory range the serpent removes itself cautiously. These both are good ways of being wise. When one considers the innocence of doves and asks how that can be applied to the judgment of information, we can only suggest that each entity knows of those individuals to whom all things are signs of disappointment, trouble and doom, while others with the same basic situation find much to make merry about and much to give thanks and praise for. The innocence, the purity, the untouched nature of the open and loving green-ray energy center—the open, loving, compassionate heart—can see beauty in almost any situation, for as it speaks to itself it hears the outer world. We find that this is a good beginning upon this topic and invite further queries both now from this group and, in the future, from the one known as V. We hope that this transmission has been clear in why it refrains from offering opinions considering the validity of sources. Before we leave this topic we would simply say that there is much, much of fear in any human experience. The physical vehicle is fragile, and it is known that it is mortal. Many of the fear-driven topics, which may be considered by many such as this instrument to have little effectual truth, have a truth in a larger or archetypical sense, for there is a wonderful urgency about this present moment, about this present cycle, about this present year, and so forth. These are the minutes, the last minutes, of each of your incarnations. There may be millions of these last minutes, but they can be counted. Thusly, there is a deep and natural capacity to fear, for one’s worst fears, those of annihilation, stand starkly, and without evidential answer, before each seeker’s life. At the end of that last minute of the incarnational experience, that consciousness that is the seeker goes through a door and it closes behind that entity, leaving those who are still experiencing the illusion of third density to remain ignorant of that which occurs thereafter. The more compassionate way to deal with this existential fear is to realize and affirm the wonder and blessing of each present moment. If disaster or catastrophe is to be part of an entity’s destiny, it shall occur, regardless of planning attempts to protect the self from such a fate. If all is to be peaceful concerning a seeker’s last days in this illusion, so it shall be, although the seeker stands within a hundred which are slain. The attitude of gazing with a full and loving heart at whatever is occurring is the more compassionate and loving approach to the quandary of existence without answers. Appreciate and attempt to inhabit fully each moment, each minute and hour of each day of this experience, one at a time, and whatever the outer circumstances, the inner spiritual journey shall be as full of light and blessing as the experiencer can hold.”

    Definitely. We’re moving into a new, more fluid, more creative landscape of thought. Which is why energy healing has gotten so popular. It’s concrete yet doesn’t box you in to any ideology or conceptual structure. If spirituality is about attaining freedom of mind, structured paths and conceptual direction seems to move against that. Yet we still need to evolve somehow.
  3. New Age Spiritual Sources - Good/Bad

    The main concern is that most of the traditional spiritual paths and practices are of the East, are collectivistic, negating of the ego, and are patriarchal, and modern psychology is moving more towards an androgynous/feminist, individualistic, and an increasingly intelligent and sophisticated ego that can be used as an expressive extension / tool of the Self, rather than something to be negated to reach Self. I’m wondering if the Divine is adjusting to this and introducing new paths. Or we’re just moving farther and farther into delusion and the traditional paths are still the most grounded in the Truth.
  4. New Age Spiritual Sources - Good/Bad

    I agree. I would say the modern mind is much more complicated and entangled than in the past. Which is the reason I’m wondering if practices and paths of the past would really be effective on the modern mind in the same way.
  5. New Age Spiritual Sources - Good/Bad

    Thank you, yeah. I completely agree with all of that
  6. New Age Spiritual Sources - Good/Bad

    Thank you for this advice
  7. New Age Spiritual Sources - Good/Bad

    Yeah definitely is moving in this direction fast
  8. There are many new healing energies and practices descending down to Earth at this time it seems. Systems, lineages, sources coming out of the shadows that were on Earth for a long time, and entirely new things being channeled through supposedly divine beings. The reasoning being that we are at a kind of bottleneck emergency situation. Like, we need to deal with our shit, it’s now or never, so we’re getting more help with it. The planetary consciousness is quickening. At the same time, what could also be happening, is we’ve fucked shit up to such a grotesque degree (specifically regarding the environment, climate change, nuclear weapons, etc) that we’ve created a sort of portal of karmic access for predatory beings to kind of finish us off so to speak. An ecological balancing, natural selection. Maybe both are probably going on. There could be beings that want us to go extinct and destroy ourselves (which isn’t necessarily a bad thing, it could be in a weird way for our best interest, considering how much harm we cause ourselves, animals, and the Earth), and other beings that want us to survive and continue to evolve and grow. Which brings me to the practical question of, what should we think of these new things coming through? Many people would say that straying from the on-ground lineages of human teachers is dangerous, and would recommend against seemingly easier paths or shortcuts that don’t require the long dirty work that those in the past had to put in. Especially when unknown “divine” sources are supposedly involved. It could also be the case that certain practices and paths could be beneficial for the short term wellbeing of the collective, but for the deep long term growth of an individual soul, not so much. On the other hand, it does seem like stuff is really coming to the surface, people want to deal with it, shit is really picking up, and the older practices are just not high octane and intelligent enough to keep up with what is needed to actualize and integrate the emerging explosion of unconscious energies and repressed complexes that are supposedly destined to be the flood and the flooded that defines the Age of Aquarius. Thoughts?
  9. You’re right, sorry. The claim just seemed odd as Vortexhealing as far as I know has no Taoist or Chinese origins. Vortexhealing is definitely intriguing, if it is what it claims to be, I would totally want to practice it. It just scares me a bit that’s all. I’m sorry for the rudeness though, my bad
  10. I looked, you're right. Interesting. Presumably you practice Vortexhealing. What has been your experience with it? As compared to other forms of energy healing / qi gong you have practiced?
  11. How do you know that preheaven jing is replenished in high level Vortexhealing classes? Is this just a hunch of yours or does Vortexhealing specifically speak of replenishing preheaven jing?
  12. This is an interesting claim. How do you know this?
