Descending Into Matter
When humankind first descended fully into physicality and matter, and through it became individual beings, we gradually became familiar with and learnt to handle the instincts of our lower animal nature. The only way of doing this is through acting our lower instincts out, so that over many lifetimes we should learn to take control of them and to handle them better. Initially, only the instinctual survival of the fittest will have mattered, as that ensured the survival and spreading of our species.
There was no other way of surviving in our new environment. And no matter how dire our experiences were and to what depths they took us, our core self has remained safe. Our Highest Self has constantly been guiding us from within our own being, as well as from without, even though for a long time none of us were consciously to know that this was so. Throughout the course of the long evolutionary cycle that is now reaching its end, our Highest Self never left us. It could not have left us, because it is an integral part of us. It has constantly been trying to encourage us to reach onwards and upwards, so that we should finally find our way back into our own true and Highest nature.
It has been for sound evolutionary purposes that Heaven and Earth, as well as all other polarities and dualities once had to appear to our race as if they were constantly at loggerheads with each other in us. This is not the case with God, but for us this has been and still is creating many conflicts that are necessary for our learning and the resulting soul growth. All along, the purpose of our evolution has been to develop away from our lower earthly side, and to bring forth from within all the goodness, the best and the highest that we are capable of. This part too has been waiting to be discovered and brought forth in each one of us. From the evidence I see around me, many by now are ready to leave their lower earthly evolutionary phase behind.
Such souls carry a great responsibility towards themselves and on behalf of us all. Yet, at all times our world presents us all with many challenges for all those who are willing to accept them. The task of those on the spiritual, i.e. healer’s pathway is to work, hand in hand with God and the Angels, on overcoming and transmuting the darker and darkest drives and urges of their lower nature into blessing and healing energies for all life.
As all traces of that part of our old being are gradually vanish, they are absorbed into the light and the power of our Highest Self. Climbing the spiritual mountain, our most important walking stick is the knowledge that with the help and the will of God all things are possible, all conditions can be healed and all crooked corners can be made straight – in us and our world. In all our efforts we are never alone; we never were. Our Highest Self is doing more than always standing or walking by our side; it is waiting inside each and every one to be asked for its help.
