Greetings, dear ones – and Ruth, I have heard her speak many times lately, “Where is Moses?” So, here I am, or at least as much as remains after many thousands of years in these spiritual dimensions! The purpose of my visit to you is to enlarge, somewhat, the perspective of this great spiritual world of Elysium to which you were brought previously by Brother Gandhi; and so I, too, shall show you another one of our activities here in this Center. We are particularly busy at this time with the observance of the Holy Week or the Easter Festival, which is taking place upon the earth. This, as you no doubt know, means that the earth has come into conjunction with certain great spiritual lines or, shall I say, magnetic force which enables us to assist in that inflow of Infinite Spiritual Wisdom and inspiration into the minds of the earth dweller at this time; and so we, or at least those who are so vitally concerned with the earth, take full advantage of this opportunity which happens only at a comparatively few times during the year, to give as much of this Spiritual Power as possible to the people.
As your Bible will tell you, the figure of Moses led the children of Israel through the wilderness, and as such a personage, set up a great dogmatic system of fundamentalism for literally millions of people upon the earth; so, after coming into the spiritual consciousness, I was immediately confronted with, and became aware of, the fact that I had led millions of people somewhat astray from the true pathway of life.
Now, this may seem quite strange to you who are used to worshiping God in the synagogues, in the churches, and in the temples; but may I point out this fact to you, that man in his many evolutions must learn to eventually understand God as the Infinite God who works from within every individual and is a part of each person. As we have determined that in man’s creation, he is but a step removed from the beast and coming into that part of his evolution where God enters into his life cycle, therefore, his first contact with these Spiritual Forces, which he later learns to call God, is determined largely through the spirits of the earth, air, fire, and water. This he personalized some way as vague spiritual forms. Later on he may enter into such worships in churches, or synagogues, or temples. Here again, God becomes personified in some vague way in which he is not quite yet factually able to determine. Should any individual at any time stop his evolution or progress at some such point, he will become very firmly entrenched and steeped in these dogmatic ways of fundamentalism and so impede his spiritual progress. It is for this purpose that Elysium here functions in these great classrooms, in these teaching centers, so the various and numerous hundreds of thousands of the more firmly entrenched devotees shall have these very firm thought convictions removed from their minds and learn something more of the Infinite and inward way in which God works. Fundamentalism in any form, if it supersedes certain normal values of relationships, becomes an obsession which is just as destructive as any of the lower spiritual entities which may enter into his consciousness. As I said, this may sound strange to you that I am actually teaching people not to worship God in a temple or a church, but rather to learn that He is part of each individual. This is a paradox, for I taught many people to worship a God who was terrible and who was also loving and kind!
At this time we shall continue our exploration through Elysium into this great Center which you may call, for practical purposes, Devachan, which is really some sort of Heaven to those who worship God in this manner. Now, upon your earth you have many systems of integration or co-relationship such as the Red Cross which dispenses food and help to various needy persons upon the earth. Also, you have your immigration service which functions to screen certain persons before entering America. We, too, in the great spiritual planes between here and Elysium maintain many such centers of integration wherein various persons are screened through different processes to determine exactly what is best needed for them at the moment. Some of these integrations have filtered into earth concepts through numerous books or pamphlets which were published. We, here, take care of such persons who are filtered through to us and sent to us who are actually people of very strong character and personages of such caliber as could be very useful and could advance in their evolution to a very marked degree except for the one impediment, namely, that they have become very firmly entrenched in these various demagogic ways of expression.
I might point out to you a very specific example of a man called Billy Sunday, who became a revivalist upon the earth and led many people down that sawdust trail toward oblivion. It is not the purpose of man to learn of God through any hypnotic processes of mind, and in separating himself from God, so that he must worship God, he dismembers himself. We here in Elysium, were most anxious that Billy Sunday could be brought to us for this corrective therapy. Unfortunately, however, he was of such strong disposition that he returned to the earth, and he is now psychically in complete control of another person named Billy Graham. So that many millions of people will actually be detoured away from their true path of spiritual progression by the infliction of the subservient position in their mentalities. They have become subservient to this God rather than a factual integrated working part of Him.
Now, that your eyes have become accustomed to the planet which is about you, and to this great city, as you were formerly with Gandhi in a great Hindu Temple in the immediate environment thereabout, we find ourselves in one of the great centers which is devoted to teaching. At first, when some subject is brought to us, or comes by his own will, he will come and go into the numerous temples which you saw on your previous visit. He is very firmly devoted to his previous thought patterns of worshiping God, so that he shall find in the pulpits or the various teaching capacities of these churches and temples, the numerous priests which he has known in previous evolutions upon the earth. However, these priests are merely disguises and, while he may adhere to a large extent to what he had learned upon the earth in his own mind, these things resolve as word forms which he can accept only as he believes them. Throughout all of these word forms which come into his mind as he listens to these priests, there also comes an added ingredient which is spiritual awakening and consciousness, as spiritual power which will gradually dissolve these very firmly entrenched thought patterns with which he has become associated in his worship practices, so that very soon he will find a distaste or a dislike for his previous ways of worshiping God. He will become conscious that there is a new way to learn of this great mysterious Force which created him and which is infinitely superior to him in every way. He shall also become aware of the fact that he must integrate himself with this great Force or Power.
Now is the time when he shall be separated from these church or temple worship practices and come voluntarily to us for further guidance and further knowledge, so he will be shown into the classrooms and be initiated into the higher orders of learning here. Thus, he will be shown, in the numerous ways which we have of doing these things here, how God can become a working part of him rather than a separate entity which must make him subservient. He thus becomes aware of his relationship, not only to this God, but to every human being who was so created by this Intelligence. Thus, he is firmly implanted upon his true pathway of evolution. So, as you saw those gray faces and forms which were coming and going through the temples on your previous visits, now you see, in this great classroom before you in this huge dimension, various buildings and centers wherein the forms which you see now do not have the gray look which they had when coming and going to the temples. They have a new luminosity. They have a spiritual viscosity which transcends and illuminates them from within because they have now discarded all their old previous thought patterns of bowing down and worshiping some strange God, or they have now ceased to be a pagan, or a pagan Christian, or a pagan Buddhist, or some other worshipful form upon the earth, for all such forms of worship are merely a higher step in the evolution of worship. Thus man comes to the place where he is not a worshipful person but now he is actually conscious that he is a part of the great Intelligent God Force, that he is moving with it toward the ultimate destination and goal which is his complete unification with this great infinite Force.
Thus, during the remainder of this Easter service or festival upon the earth, as you know it, while it resides in the hearts and minds of hundreds of millions of earth people who have lived at one time or another upon the earth in various practices and in various cults, whether they were Druids, or whether they worshiped the great God, Amen Ra, or they worshiped Buddha, or any of the many other different personages upon the earth as intercessors to the great God, yet always this particular festival of Easter was of the same origin, of the same nature. To those who are steeped in Christian dogmas, it means the crucifixion and resurrection of the Avatar Jesus but wholly and largely, it merely means that the earth has entered into a conflux of great spiritual energies and that these are pouring into the hearts and minds of all people upon the earth. So thus it shall be with the people of the earth, as they come and go for many hundreds of years to come until the planet itself emerges into another great spiritual cycle which has been called the millennium when all people shall have a much larger portion of the inward working Force of God than they now possess. However, for the time being I wish for you and extend to you all of that Power and Radiance of God which I can project.
– Moses
