<P>Arcadia Teaching mission</P>
<P>Oct 18, 1999</P>
<P>JarEl--t/r henryz</P>
<P>Greetings to you my friends, I am Machiventa. I come here tonight to thank
and encourage you for coming and sustaining the light of the teaching mission
within this group. We are a small, yet strong contingency on this planet. We in
the spiritual realm appreciate the effort and dedication of all of you who have
taken the time and focused intention upon practicing your access to Father
within; in becoming more active in pursuing your status as a son and daughter of
God, a brother and sister of mankind. I am thankful for the support of your
teacher Javel and his dedication in helping you come to a better understanding
of what you are doing here, and hopefully giving you some opportunities and
choices to better facilitate your decisions about your future here. We are also
pleased at the quality of your discussions, in particular, your focus on the
good and the positive at this time here. It is my intention to encourage and
thank you. Good bye.</P>
<P>Greetings again, It is I JarEl. I will now take your question, Donna.</P>
<P>Student; I am interested about this concept of spiritual light, which we have
heard about many times, which you have brought up also many times. I was
thinking the other day, while driving, when I saw the city lights in my view; I
was wondering if the celestials can distinguish between city light, candle
light, and spiritual light. Is all light, light? Are there differences and can
the spiritual beings and angels distinguish the differences. This is my
question.</P>
<P>JarEl; Thank you for your question. Is all sound music? So the reality of
light is such that it sheds upon the situation of darkness, visibility. There
are physical aspects to light. In answer to part of your question, Yes,
spiritual beings can distinguish all light. All light is not spiritual light.
All water is not spiritual water. All mind is not spiritual mind. I am
attempting to imply that spirit transforms light, water, mind, reality, will,
destiny, fact into truth, pattern into beauty, action into goodness.</P>
<P>I do appreciate your visual analogy of the lights in the city, viewed from
afar, you see glimpses of light against the background of darkness. This is
somewhat how we view the spiritual light of minds. A faint spiritual shimmering,
a glowing of an ember amongst the background of , and in contrast to material
reality. There is a quality of spiritual light which allows an individual to
perceive spirit. In the same sense that the light from your sun allows you to
perceive matter, what you term physical reality. The light within you, the light
of the spirit within, gives and sheds a spiritual dimension into your material
thought patterns, your psycho-emotional observations, your felt-sense of being.
As your perception of spiritual light increases, there is an ever deepening
connection to spirit As your own spiritual light begins to accumulate, begins to
grow brighter and more noticeable,. do not attempt to hide, disguise or sabotage
this light. Honor this light.</P>
<P>Student; Is not the spiritual light more a glow, a radiation which is quite
distinct from the light which we have down here. Those who are capable of
perceiving this spiritual glow would have no problem distinguishing between the
brightest of physical light.</P>
<P>JarEl; Well, I’m refraining from trying to specify actual characteristics so
that in your own sense you are able to perceive this light. Some may perceive it
as a spark, a glow, a clouded brilliance, which breaks through, just as the sun
breaks through the density of clouds, and you actually see rays of light,
piercing, hitting the earth, brightening the way before it. Yes, there is a
perception of spiritual light which is distinct from the perception of material
light. </P>
<P>What is important of these questions, and pertinent to our study, is the
spiritual counterpart of the morontia mind; the evolving and transforming, the
spiritual alchemy whereby one begins to change in thought, awareness,
expression, acting, decision, function, like our use of the analogy of water,
last week, the metaphorical use of light has the same quality and
characteristic. </P>
<P>When you get into the morontia realms, as you begin to evolve spiritually,
you are able to discern beings of light. Your ability to perceive these beings
is not determined by their light; it is determined by your own light. Determined
by the spiritual access you have engendered within your own soul and
personality. It is easy to discern things which are of the same substance as
yourself. For example, this situation in which you live now, you can see the
trees and the visual terrain, mountains, rivers, buildings and machinery. You
can see things of your own substance, yet you do not visually perceive the
angels around you. I am saying in general you do not. Yet, once you begin to
understand and comprehend, begin to become aware, you begin to sense their
presence. It may not be until you awake on the morontia worlds that you actually
see them, because their substance there, will be much like your substance when
you are there. Spiritual beings from the constellations, the universe capitals
will be beyond your vision. There are relationships to perception. Spirit is
real. Unlike natural light which illuminates the surface, spiritual light
illuminates the depths. You are able to see within yourself with spiritual
light. Sunlight may show you pimples and hair follicles; skin color and texture.
Spiritual light will show you your confusion, conflict, what it is within which
needs to be addressed. It will even show you how to address these things.
Spiritual light has depth perception and quality of observation. Spiritual light
can let you envision all the way to paradise. </P>
<P>I want to thank you Donna for your question tonight. This is one area of
observation which changes and grows with one’s own depth perception.</P>
<P>Student; I like what you said earlier, the words you used about transforming,
that spirit and spiritual light has to do with transforming.</P>
<P>JarEl; Part of this transformation is that quality of spirit which is whole
and complete. Viewed against spirit you are able to distinguish your own
fracture, your own incompleteness. It is like putting yourself up against
spiritual light and you look somewhat like an abstract dalmatian, where there
are dark and light spots. The light spots are where the spiritual light is able
to come through, (clarity); the spots where there is translucency, are not
necessarily clear, but light is able to glow. There are dense areas where light
is not able to penetrate. In particular it is these areas which the spiritual
light shows you. Eventually, using a visual metaphor, you must become clear as
crystal, to be able to perfectly reflect the light which is within. It is at
this point of clarity that you come close to the substance of the spirit within.
You become more like love. Thought no one has mentioned it, it is interesting to
note that material light is composed of colors. As a school child takes a prism
to light, it can be broken down into a series of colors, primary colors,
secondary colors, and even tertiary colors. Spirit light has no color. It is
pure light, it is the pattern from which physical light is taken. It is a
reflection of the first light, the first source of Light. It is as if God gave
material characteristics to all of the spiritual counterparts of paradise, not
the other way around. Something else to think about this week.</P>
<P>Student; could it be more like a Samoyed, a white dog?</P>
<P>JarEl; Quite possibly. What is important here, is the spiritual counterpart
to your life. What is this?</P>
<P>Is there a difference between what you do and how you do it? Is there a
difference between who you are and who you are becoming? Are you finding that
you are becoming more real in a spiritual sense and less real in a material
sense? Are you finding that things which held value and meaning are beginning to
shift in your life? Are you beginning to embrace more things which you are led
to, which you don’t quite understand? Are you beginning to fall in love with the
unfamiliar, the unsure, the uncertain? Is your curiosity beginning to peak? Are
you exploring within? </P>
<P>There is, in the realm of man’s spirit, that burdensome responsibility to
forgo yourself, and to embrace that which is unknown to you. That which is
unknown to you is within. God does not choose a difficult path for you, but that
the path to God is often, not the most comfortable path you will find yourself
own. Many times, things are asked of you which confront you, confront your
sensibility of yourself. Some point in your existence, God will confront
everything which you are, everything you think you are! </P>
<P>This is an ongoing relationship in transformation through spiritual
awareness, and growth in God.</P>
<P>God reveals himself one part at a time. One little part which has tremendous
ramification within your own psychic self. You can spend a whole lifetime
learning just one aspect of God and becoming that one aspect. It is when all of
these particular individual and personal aspects of God Which each one of you
discover, begin to manifest this in your lives, that the sense of God begins to
form into dimension and depth. When the dimension of God begins to deepen, it
forms a pattern; an incredibly beautiful woven and undulating pattern, capable
of every quality and characteristic of combination and form that is possible.
The fabric is also a metaphor. The Supreme, in a sense is this fabric, the
pattern and design of each God knowing soul, expressing a unique and personal
quality of Divinity. It is good to begin to glimpse, many of you probably
already have. These glimpses motivate and move you forward. They are like
spiritual experiences. They show you possibility. </P>
<P>It is an honor to share with you here. You who within the midst of the world
here, take time to come to this quiet island of thought, of gathering into a
circle, to open your mind to possibility of inner greatness and Divine
intervention; spirit communication. Your belief and faith has brought you to
face destiny. This is what we are discussing. What a wonderful opportunity to
step into your life and mind, here and now, with the spiritual light to show the
way, with its clarity and purity to touch that spirit within each one of you and
to connect with this light within. We may be connecting with words, but we are
connecting to something greater than each word, we are connecting to thought. As
we connect to thought we connect to form, which is an underlying substance, a
dimension of spirit which focuses and sheds its light upon you tonight. </P>
<P>So within the next coming weeks, think about the concepts of light in your
stillness. Think of yourself as a vast darkness, and begin to perceive this
indwelling light seeping and breaking into this darkness. Use this metaphor in
your meditations. </P>
<P>See yourselves as having grown through these experiences of coming here and
learning. Begin to see brother ship, sistership, as an opportunity and a
responsibility. Begin to sense the quality in which these interactions with
others brings to you. Connect with this sense, and feel this quality of God as
substance, potential, ability, direction. Begin to sense God as whatever you
need at the moment. Sense that you can transfer this to others, just with a
smile, not even with words, just with a thought like a prayer. Sense that light
and love of spirit is in you. Thank you.</P></DIV></BODY></HTML>
