Cleansing The Cesspool Of Human Consciousness
From the year 2008 the planet Pluto has been transiting the sign Capricorn *, the sign that rules large institutions, like banks, building societies, insurance companies and so forth. The representatives of governments, the police, the legal and medical profession and in particular the religious belief systems of our world are not excluded from the purging and cleansing effect of Pluto’s energies. Ever more forcefully they are drawing everybody’s attention to that which had previously been hidden from public view and knowledge. Like scum on a mill pond, they are rising to the surface of our race’s individual and collective consciousness. And that gets me wondering how long it will take until the last one in our world comprehends that nothing can remain hidden in our world any longer.
This cleansing process will continue until the year 2023. In classical Greek mythology Pluto was the ruler of the underworld, a metaphor for the subconscious mind of us and our world. Under the influence of the Plutonian energies, drawn by the vibrations of the forces of love, wisdom and truth from above, the higher and highest levels of life, and forced upwards by Pluto, anything untoward rises like scum on a murky pond to the surface of our humankind’s consciousness. Christianity’s history can be likened to a pond that is part of the great cesspool of human consciousness, which for a long time has been waiting to be dredged and cleansed of the impurities of false beliefs that have their roots in the ignorance of God’s true nature and humankind’s as well as our race’s special relationship with its Creator.
This cleansing is a truly Herculean * task. Almost every day a new scandal of one kind and another is crawling from the murky depths of our world’s consciousness to its surface. Each one of these events is comparable to a nasty and painful abscess that is waiting to be burst, so that the body on which it is growing – the spiritual body of the whole of humankind – can at last heal itself. And that’s precisely what has been happening for quite some time by now.
All of this raises the question whether Christianity will be capable of stepping back and distancing itself from the foolish arrogance of its spiritual infancy and childhood. Can it rise like the legendary phoenix from the ashes of its own funeral pyre and wing its way into a mature state of spiritual adulthood that knows nothing but honesty and integrity, and truly serves the Highest from its heart instead of its head? Is there enough strength left in Christianity to progress from its unevolved state of ignorance, the fool, into an honest, responsible and reliable wise one?
The word religion is based on the Latin religare ‘to bind’. The Heavens alone know – but they are smiling and not telling us – whether those within the Christian churches are capable of assisting their organisation to survive the transition from something of the head that keeps us away from God into a religion from the heart that this time really does tell the truth. Through tolerance and love for each other, regardless of anyone’s colour and/or beliefs, this religion would seek to connect ever more human beings with each other and with God. Will those in charge have the courage to confess that in the past they failed in this task because they did not understand the true meaning of God and that in truth the Divine Trinity means the Great White Spirit, Father/Mother of all life, and their only born Son/Daughter, the Universal Christ?
Organisations, companies and whole countries are required to evolve from fool to wise one, just the same as every human being. Everybody has to make their own mistakes and is allowed to learn from them. Organisations are doing this, except religious ones. Who or what is it that keeps them trapped in the past and forces them to remain stuck with their obviously long outdated teachings. It does not seem to bother the religious leaders of our world that, what they call their sacred texts makes no sense for our times and the level of understanding ever more of us are reaching, and that through this they are losing ever more of their followers. How sad!
This reminds me of the Buddha’s advice for his disciples that was given a long, long time ago: ‘Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it, or because it is spoken and rumoured by many, or because it is found written in your religious books, or because it emanates from your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. When you find after observation and analysis that anything agrees with your reasoning and is conducive to the good and benefit of all, accept it and conduct your life by it.’
I shall never give up hope that one fine day one of the religious leaders of our world pluck up the courage and set a good example that others may wish to follow, by stepping forward and declaring that religions are involved in the evolutionary process of the whole of Creation, the same as everything else. Therefore, there were periods when his/her religion acted like a fool, who was ignorant that higher esoteric wisdom was hiding behind it’s sacred texts. Nobody would have any problems forgiving any one of the remaining religions if it were explained that God and the Angels once gave the myths and legends through the scribes of our world, with the intention that in due course the esoteric higher meaning behind the surface words would be revealed.
There could be no finer illustration of this than the story of the Master Jesus. Will Christianity ever tell us that it has discovered that Jesus never was an exterior force, because in truth it has always been a symbol of humankind’s own higher or God nature. The legend can be likened to a picture book description of the evolutionary journey every human being in earthly life is constantly travelling on the road of developing its higher or God nature.
As pointed out before, there would be no need to apologise. After all, everybody has to cover the same distance which starts with being a fool, a young and inexperienced soul, to a sage, an old and experienced one. Why should Christianity be exempt from taking part in it? If it is God’s will that it should renew itself and remain part of our world for a while longer, then it will happen – but only then.
