THE SO-CALLED "FALL OF MAN" There never was a "Fall of Man" as is being taught today by most religions. This is Man's term used to add to the confusion, guilt and social control of the masses. Adam and Eve had nothing whatsoever to do with the so-called "Fall of Man." The records reveal that several million years ago, Mankind merely altered the nature of his thinking, which took his conscious awareness into the lower vibrations of the form world. It was not a "fall" from anything. It was an extension of his ability to co-Create with God and experience in a lower vibratory frequency. He was certainly capable of handling these lower vibrations even though he had deviated from the original plan. Certain changes were necessary. to compensate for the new conditions he would experience. These alterations came in the conscious awareness of the difference between the function of the Mind and that of the senses. The Holy Christ Self designated a small portion of the conscious awareness of the Mind to process these lower thoughts in order to prevent the Personality from completely destroying the very' purpose of his being in Motion--to experience on the form world. It was the conscious awareness of the Mind that was changed. There is but one Mind and one consciousness. There is no "altered state of consciousness"-it is only the awareness of consciousness that is altered. The function of the Mind is to process mental pictures. This action is called thinking. Thinking with the Mind involves the I AM Presence, the Three-fold Flame, the Christ Self, the Causal Body and the Permanent Atom, all of which function in perfection in fourth-dimensional energy and cannot be exposed to the lower vibrations of third-dimensional data, which was being accumulated by the senses. A psychic, molecular entity was Created to process this sensory data and to function within the jurisdiction of what is erroneously referred to as the conscious Mind. It is called the ego. This is the origin of the ego on the planet Earth. It does not have intelligence and is conscious only to the extent of its function. Its function is to process sensory data which is information that is recorded by the senses as they "feel" the vibrations of Nature responses. The ego processes this information by assessing and evaluating it according to the individual's master moral code and his master form code, which he agrees to live by in each particular embodiment. The sensory data is then qualified by the Soul's ongoing seedbed and filed in the memory cells of the brain for instant recall. The on-going seedbed is the Soul's record of the action and reaction within each of the individual's Creative cycles, which binds him to the responsibility for his own Creations. This is the reason for, "As ye sow, so shall ye reap." Eventually, the Personality became caught up in the pleasure, greed and self-aggrandizement to the extent that these new conditions overpowered his willingness to take the responsibility for Creating them. His attention had been withdrawn from the magnificent Inner Presence of the Three-fold Flame of Life that had been directing his thoughts and activities. It was now focused on manifesting physical pleasures, material gain and self-possession. As the Personality's attention, his tool of Creation, was shifted away from the I AM Presence, the Holy Christ Self, who had originally passed the life and protective radiation enfolding the physical form down through the Silver Cord, now in mercy, decreased the volume of energy pouring through the "life line" in order to minimize his destructive Creations. However, he was still permitted to carry out the purpose of Mankind-to experience in form and to broaden the boundaries of the Father's Kingdom. THE ORIGIN OF MAN Because God, the Presence of Creation, desired to put His Ideas into Motion in a new universe, He extended Universal Mind, the conscious awareness of mental imagery in the morphogenic field of Ideation, into an image of Himself in Motion. This extension of Himself would contain all of the attributes of the Whole, yet would be capable of being divided into two equal opposite conditions that could express in action, void that action and then return as ONE to the Whole in Stillness. This formed the Holy Trinity of the universe, which Man sees as a so-called duality-Stillness and Motion. The new life-form was called Man-Mankind-the Kingdom of humanity. It is the origin of Man in the universe. Human means Man in Motion. The Spirit of the life-form is undivided Light-the Personality of Creation-the I AM Presence in the image of God. The life-form itself is the Idea of Man divided into two equally sexed opposite conditions, Male and Female. As was mentioned earlier, in order to Create out of Stillness, the Idea of that which is to be Created must be divided into two equal, but unbalanced opposite conditions. Sex is the division principle. This division of Idea is the origin of sex. It is two opposite conditions of an Idea, equally divided in electrical potential. Everything that is Created is divided into equally sexed opposite conditions. The opposites are expression and voidance-action and reaction. Expression is the masculine energy and voidance is the feminine energy. Sex is never balanced. when it becomes balanced, there is no sex. This is how an Idea is put into Motion. Each sexed condition desires to fullfill its purpose and reach its point of balance. Desire is the universal energy' to express and to balance. Every Motion is seeking to balance. Desire is the driving force in Motion. There is no energy in the universe that draws matter to itself. The academic definition of gravity is false, because it is based on appearances gathered by the senses. Gravity is undivided Light, the Stillness of KNOWING, the leptonosphere of inert gases. It also sits within the fulcrum point on the polarity shaft of every light wave. It is the null point of Stillness and rest to which an opposite condition is driven by the desire to balance--not to draw as false appearances would indicate. The energy' of Motion is in the object seeking balance-not in the point of rest which appears to be drawing the object. This is the beginning of Man's long, self-chosen journey to expand Creation in the universe. It also shows how Man was individualized into being; how his physical form is the Idea of Mankind divided into two equally sexed opposite conditions that desire to express, void and balance. And how Man's Spiritual form, the I AM Presence is the part of himself that is in the image of God. The physical focal point of the Spirit of Man is in the Permanent Atom in the fifth chamber of the heart. This Spiritual inner-self of Mankind includes the I AM Presence, the Three-fold Flame, the Causal Body, the Christ Self Body and the Soul Body. THE COMING OF THE LAGGARDS When the planet Earth was ready for habitation, the ten billion Personalities assigned to evolvement on the new planet were divided into seven Root Races and their Sub-races. A Sub-race contains a small number of individuals from all seven Root Races. The widest color band in the Personality's Causal Body designates the Root Race to which he belongs. As each Root Race is embodied on the planet Created for their evolution, the Sub-race is also incarnated to provide a more complete representation of Cosmic Education on the form world. It was about seven million years ago, in Earth time, when Lord Michael, the Archangel from the Central Sun, the Manu and the first Root Race touched down on the Beloved Earth in the area that is now called the Grand Tetons. Lord Michael was the Great Protector of the Personalities and the Manu was the Divine Director of the first phase of Creation on the new form world. This first experience of Man on Earth, went well. Each individual completed the Seven-Ray dispensation and ascended into their Home Sphere. The ascension into the Higher Realms indicated the completion of the first episode in the Rhythm of Solar Evolution on the new planet. The next three dispensations followed this perfect pattern until about half-way through the fourth race when the Rhy'thn1 of the Evolution was interrupted. Man began to change the nature of his ~ The situation that brought about this alteration in his manner of Creating was the coming of the "Laggards" to the planet Earth. They were called "Laggards" because they had lagged behind in their individual advancement. They were Souls from other planets in the Galaxy who had failed to complete their Cosmic requirements. Their race had ascended and advanced into the next higher position. This is exactly where the Earth is today on the Cosmic Clock. Our planet is being advanced into a higher orbit in the Galaxy. Those embodied on the planet at this time who are not willing to change the nature of their thinking, take the responsibility for Creating the negativity in their seedbed and start their own ascension program, will have to go through "death" and re-embody on another planet that has been prepared to take into its evolution, the "Laggards" from the planet Earth. Those individuals who are willing to make the necessary changes to upgrade their on-going seedbed and thereby raise the vibrations of their four lower bodies, will not have to go through "death." They will enter into the fourth-dimensional energy with the Earth as it moves into the Photon Belt. The Photon Belt is a Light Segment of higher energy that lasts for 2,000 years of Earth time. It is discussed in a later chapter of the book. The transfiguration of the physical body and the ascension of the Soul into Solar Reality is also examined in detail in a later chapter. The influence of the "Laggards," because they had already experienced in negative, selfish and destructive thinking, was very costly to Human life on the new planet. The original plan' worked Out and agreed upon by all who were to be involved, called for the perfect Personalities of the fourth Root Race to re form the "Laggards" and, thereby provide the opportunity for those who were willing to complete their Cosmic requirements, to ascend with the fourth Race at the close of the dispensation. Before the coming of the "Laggards" to the planet, the Personalities of the Earth received directions only from their own I AM Presence in the form of mental pictures of Divine Ideas to be Created into form. This is all they knew. They had no other on-going consciousness from which to draw. All of the Cosmic Education they had gathered when they progressed through the Seven Spheres was stored in their Causal Body in the Permanent Atom and was available to the I AM Presence for direct guidance in the form world. This was the reason for the requirement of the Seven Color Bands in the Causal Body before embodying on the planet. It was the only guidance the Personality would have. As the "Laggards" continued in their negative, selfish and destructive ways, their thought patterns were held in the atmosphere until they could be transmuted back to Universal Supply by those who had Created them. Instead of influencing the "Laggards" to change the nature of their thanking, the Personalities of the fourth Race began absorbing these negative patterns into their own consciousness to the extent that the Holy Christ Self, because the I AM Presence could not be exposed to negativity, was forced to Create a force field of energy that could process these negative patterns by recording and sustaming them until they could be transmuted. By absorbing negative thought forms from the atmosphere and energizing them with feelings and accentuating the action that follows through the flesh, the Personalities built an etheric consciousness that took on the tendencies, habits and nature of these new experiences in the use of life, action and reaction. This consciousness of direction, mental awareness and ability to record action and reaction, developed into the lifestream's Soul. The Soul endures in embodiment and between embodiments. The Soul will continue to live until it is no longer needed for protection from the shadows of the individual's own Creations. It will then be reunited with the Electronic Body from which it was divided. This is the origin of the Soul in Mankind on the planet Earth. Its purpose is to protect the I AM Presence, process and record the impure Creations until the seasons of Motion could be permanently returned to the Stillness. A thought can only be transmuted by the Creator of the cycle when he takes the responsibility for its action. This is accomplished when he establishes the KNOWING factor as to how and why he is responsible for its existence. KNOWING, through understanding, returns the simulation of the Idea back to the Stillness of Ideation. This is how a thought is transmuted. It Is the energy of KNOWING, within the Mind, that restores the mental picture of the simulation back into the perfection of the Idea. Then as the energy of Desire to Express is transferred to the voidance phase of the cycle, the reaction is recorded in the individual's seedbed as an experience fullfilled or a lesson learned. Understanding how the thought was Created and accepting the responsibility for its action, allows the individual's Soul to release the record of the action in the seedbed and return it to the Stillness of Ideation. This automatically prevents the repetition of the Creative cycle because there is no simulation of the Idea held in the on-going consciousness in the seedbed. When the simulation of an Idea is transmuted from the seedbed by understanding and KNOWING, regardless of how negative, severe or violent the thought patterns may be, the Soul releases it from the seedbed and then files it in the Causal Body as Cosmic Education and the individual never has to repeat that experience again. He cannot fall back into the old thinking patterns. He has a new standard of ethics. The seedbed has been upgraded. The higher vibrations of understanding and KNOWING, provide an ironclad, guaranteed safety catch by drawing out of the seedbed, all of the thought patterns that are relative to that under-standing and KNOWING. This prevents the "ups and downs," the "peaks and valleys" so many "Light Workers" are experiencing in their lives today. The physical focal point of the Soul is a force field of energy that surrounds the Permanent Atom. Its consciousness saturates every cell, atom and electron in the etheric, mental, emotional and physical bodies. The substance of the energy of the Soul is Light that has been divided into two opposite conditions-positive and negative-which provide the electrical power for recording and maintaining all functions of the Mind. The intelligence of the Soul is under the direction of the I AM Presence, the Christ Self and the Personality's conscious intentions. The individual, through free will, has direct control over this intelligence, but he has closed the door on it by accepting "0utside programming." The seedbed is the force field of energy in which the Soul stores and maintains all negative thoughts that have not been balanced. These destructive Creations accumulate throughout the lifestream and form the blueprints for the individual's thinking patterns for each of his embodiments. This is what is meant by "As ye sow, so shall ye reap." Due to the fact that the Personality has closed the door to his Mind and Causal Body by using only sensory data for his thinking, he must live each incarnation according to what he has sown in his seed-bed. The Law of Responsibility must be fulfilled. The voidance phase of the Creative cycle is always under the jurisdiction of the Law. Mankind has free will only in the expression phase of the cycle--the voidance of that action is under the direction of the Law through the higher intelligence of the Soul. The reason the individual has to live by what he has sown in his seedbed is because this is the only on-going consciousness he has from which the Etheric Body can form blueprints for his daily thinking. The steady stream of Divine Ideas from the I AM Presence, the Causal Body, the Christ Self and the Mind that constantly flow through the Etheric Body for Creation, cannot be used by the Personality, at this time because their vibrations are above the conscious range of the ego, the senses and the outer consciousness. Re is totally unaware of this ever-present Divine Direction. Mankind today is completely controlled and predictable because he is living according to his seedbed. "As ye sow, so shall ye reap." He is trying to change his living conditions and better his life by thinking and acting out of context with his belief system. This is what is causing all of his difficulties and problems. He cannot make lasting changes in the conditions, or better his life permanently, without balancing the thought patterns in his seedbed that are causing the situations he wants to correct. The self-knowledge of how the Soul processes, records and stores the action and reaction of thought patterns, and how to make the necessary changes in order to upgrade the seedbed, is discussed in later chapters of the book. THE COMING OF SANAT KUMARA After closing the door to the Divine guidance of his I AM Presence and severing all communications with the Elementals and Angels, Mankind sank deeper and deeper into the shadows of his own Creations, until finally he completely forgot his Celestial Heritage. He was forced to think and live entirely by the reaction of his seedbed. He had forfeited the greatest gift in Solar Evolution-free will to co-Create with God. It wasn't long, in "Cosmic Time," until the life-style of the 'Holy Innocents" of the fourth Root Race had deteriorated into greed, violence and destruction to the extent that the Karmic Board, under whose sovereignty the Earth existed, was compelled to consider the possibility of dissolving the planet and interrupting the evolution of its inhabitants. In a Solar System, the inhabitants of each planet are required to emit sufficient Light through the nature of their thinking to balance the fourth-dimensional energy projected by the God-Parents in order to keep their planet within its designated orbit. This is the Cosmic Law of Universal Balance. Energy projected from one dimension to another must be equaled by qualified exchange. At the next great Celestial Council, where all of the Mighty Lords of the neighboring Suns and Systems of the Galaxy where in attendance, it was evident that the Souls of Earth were not emitting sufficient Light to warrant holding their planet in its current position within the System, much less being on schedule to advance into a higher orbit with the coming of the Universal In-breath--the natural voidance phase of the Creative Cycle. Therefore, a decision had to be made. Should the "Freedom Star," now known as the "Dark Star," be destroyed? Its mineral compounds would be etherealized back to Universal Supply, depolarized and issued again as perfect energy. After all, the planet was only the simulation of thought forms that were being held in consciousness by the planetary Silent Watcher for the purpose of serving as a temporary schoolroom or platform upon which the "Holy Innocents" could experience as individuals and thereby gain knowledge and wisdom on the form world. The fourth Root Race and its Sub-race would be returned to the Astral Realm and prepared for embodiment on another planet. The three remaining Root Races and their Sub-races would be returned to their Holy Christ Self. The rest of the planets and Solar Systems had to move on. Earth was the only planet in the Galaxy that had fallen beneath the requirements of Cosmic Law to the extent that it could not progress into the higher orbit. Because of the time on the Great Cosmic Clock, and the ~t that the people of Earth had fallen into the long, dark shadows of hate, anger, violence, lust and greed, the decree that the planet Earth be dissolved was drafted and placed on the agenda for the final vote at the next Cosmic Council. Never before in the Great Halls of Wisdom had these Mighty Lords of the Galaxy been faced with a decision of such comprehensive magnitude. It was indeed a sorrowful day in the short existence of this once beautiful Star. Many questions were asked and numerous possibilities projected. At the close of this somber conclave, the spark for probably the Greatest Moment in History was ignited. The Beloved Sanat Kumara, Lord of Venus, who was in attendance, felt the powerful urge pounding in his heart to volunteer his personal energy to save this Magnificent Star. He knew that if some wholly Free Being would come and nourish those tiny sparks, keep them alive and flu' them with all the power of His Divine Love, someday the attention of Mankind would return to its Divinity. Someday, Primal Life, which had been pressed into the distortions that have caused the excess weight upon this planet, would again feed that flame. when he returned to Venus, Sanat Kumara revealed the possibilities of His decision to His Divine Compliment and to the Sovereign Council, made up of those who were the Governing Body of the State. They were known throughout the Galaxy as the Order of the Lords of Flame. Every one of them, without exception, volunteered to go before Him to prepare the Earth for His coming. With this overwhelming enthusiasm from Venus and the Envoys of Light offered by other Stars, Planets and Systems, the Cosmic Council unanimously granted the petition and Sanat Kumara became the Lord of the World-referred to in scriptures as "The Ancient of Days." Located in the heart of the planet Venus is Shamballa, the City of the Sun. It anchors the Planetary I AM Presence of the Souls of Venus and is the home of Sanat Kumara. Its name means to make sacred. The nine thousand beings, who were finally chosen to prepare the Earth for the arrival of Sanat Kumara, were instructed to build a City of the Sun in which the long-neglect Planetary I AM Presence could be anchored and nurtured. Within this Envoy of Light, three thousand were to take Human embodiment; three thousand were chosen from the Nature and Devic Kingdom and three thousand were selected from the Angelic Kingdom (Three times three equals nine, always the symbol for completion of the whole in Creation). Of this group, the three thousand who were to be the Guardian Spirits of the Earth in Human form, one thousand have now completed their Cosmic commitment and have returned to Venus; the remaining two thousand are among those recently chosen by Serapis Bey and given the First Grant for their Holy Christ Self to take command of the Personality's activities for entering the Photon Belt. This Special Grant was just recently instituted by the Ascended Masters as a part of the current Permanent Atom Activities being conducted at Shamballa, which is now located over Long Island, New York. The purpose of the Special Grant at this time is to allow these advanced Souls to use the direct supply of Divine Ideas coming from the Holy Christ Self through the Permanent Atom Activity to flow into the Etheric Body as blueprints for new thinking. This is only a part of the current Permanent Atom Activity designed to raise the individual's energy floating point and thereby help other individuals, as well as the Beloved Earth, in making the transition into the Golden Age. The tremendous increase in the Permanent Atom Activity is made possible through the Law of Grace and the enormous quantities of forth-dimensional energy now available on the planet. The greatest event in the history of Mankind was the Coming of Sanat Kurnara with His Lords of Flame from Venus to save the Earth. After several million years of devoted Love and relentless Service, His mission was accomplished. Sufficient Light was finally being emitted through the vail of Maya and the Beloved Sanat Kumara was permitted to end His long, self-imposed exile and return to His home in Venus. This momentous event of leaving the planet, equally as great as His coming, took place on January 21, 1964. His point of departure from the Earth and the location of the Cosmic Ceremony of the transition of power from Sanat Kumara to Lord Gautama, the new Lord of the World, was the Magnificent Retreat of the Archangel Michael, located over the vicinity of Banff and Lake Louise in the Canadian Rockies. Shamballa was built on the Earth in the area that is now known as the Gobi Desert. It had served as the physical and Etheric Headquarters of the planet for approximately four and one-half million years. This is how long it took for the Beloved Sanat Kumara and His Loyal Band of Kumaras to nurture and sustain enough lifestreams of Earth, through both Solar and Biological Evolution, to finally emit sufficient Light to warrant saving the planet and the "Faithful Few," who are now being prepared to enter the Great Light Belt. "Many are called, but few are chosen." Because of the important role America is to play in leading the Earth into the Golden Age, Shamballa, the Etheric City of the Sun, on November 26, 1964, Thanksgiving Day), was moved from the Gobi Desert to Long Island, New York. It is the new Planetary Headquarters for the Permanent Atom Activity, which is now available to take the planet, and those individuals who are ready to make their Ascension, into the Photon Belt.
