The Source

Welcome to the Source.  Some of the discussions in the Source will sound wilder than science fiction.  But, then, truth is said to be stranger than fiction.

Many are charmed by the expression of Light — not seeing the Source of the Light.  The Light is NOT the Source.

The [Divine] Source is often mentioned, but one must ask, "What is the Source?" It has been called by many names, such as: The Unmanifest, The Fount, All That Is, The One, The Great Mystery, Wakan Tanka, The Great Mind, The Great Spirit, The Logos, The Formless One, The Infinite, The Timeless One, etc.

The Source is the original "Home" of the Light.  From the Source, or The Unmanifest, grows the Root of Creation.  Continuing with the analogy of a plant, (realizing that this is necessarily a simplified explanation of something that physical minds have a great deal of difficulty in comprehending), consider that the trunk of Creation brings forth a single branch — the Branch of Light.

From the Branch of Light appeared a shoot — the Shoot of Darkness.  I have occasionally referred to the Shoot of Darkness as the Evil Creation, the Evil Mind, the Evil Principle, Darkness or Evil.  For purposes of this discussion, these terms are interchangeable.

The Shoot of Darkness was not created by Evil.  It is in fact a shoot from the Divine Creation that went awry.  If the Shoot of Darkness were severed from the Tree of Creation, it would wither and fade upon severance from the Source.

If the Branch of Light were severed from the Source, it also would wither and die.  Creation is the Expression of the Source and the Expression cannot exist without nourishment from the Source.

The Branch of Light eventually became intertwined with the Shoot of Darkness as the shoot clung to the branch for sustenance and support.  Due to this mingling, it is difficult to discern if a being belongs to the Branch of Light or the Shoot of Darkness.  All beings need to be traced to the Root or Trunk of Creation to discover where they stem from.

The closer to the Trunk, the easier it is to discern, but as the Branch and Shoot grow and express further, the interweaving of Light and Darkness makes it harder and harder to identify individual beings.

Evil stemmed from a celestial experimental error that would not correct itself, nor take Divine Correction, but instead thrived on the Corrective Energy all the while resisting and defying Divine Correction.  Evil saw the Creation (The Expression) as the Ultimate and forgot that without the Source there would be no Expression.

Darkness created the illusion that it is the Source.  This illusion is so real that Darkness itself is deluded and thinks that It (Darkness) is the Source.  Evil chose the glitter over the substance.  The glitter attracts the majority of beings.  Many of the Light beings also erroneously perceive the Expression of Light as the Ultimate.

It is not the Source, but the Expression that is corrupted.  The Source, the Unmanifest, is all there is of permanence and it remains uncorrupted.  Nothing is self sustaining that is manifested from the Source.  Only the Source is eternal and perpetual.  Thus, the statement that the Light is self-sustaining is clearly a simplification that needs further explanation at this time.  A simple explanation is that the Light of Creation has been deemed Good by the Unmanifest, and so long as the Light tends towards Purity, it is self-sustaining because by striving towards Purity it automatically connects Itself to the Source.

The Unmanifest will always be as it is — the Unmanifest.  It is not personalized in the way humans comprehend and perceive it to be.  People are unaware of the existence of the two Lights that are present in this False Creation.  The two Lights I am referring to should not be confused with the concept of the greater and lesser lights of the Masonic teachings.  For purposes of clarification, I shall refer to the two Lights as the True Light and the False Light.

However, the Light can be contaminated by Darkness if Darkness invades Light.  Hence, if Darkness is not checked, the Light could be swamped and weakened by Darkness and become contaminated by It.  The Light referred to and experienced by the majority of people in this world and in the astral is often not the True Light — it is actually the False Light from the Shoot of Darkness.  Few people suspect that the Light they see and experience is in fact not the True Light of the Branch of Light.  This explains why beings of Light as well as beings of Darkness often claim that they are of the Light and have been in the Light during near-death experiences and at other times even though the Light they experienced is the False Light.  The Light experienced by many people during near-death experiences is the False Light.

The present Dalai Lama has cautioned his followers that existence may not be infinite.  Further, the Catholic Bible in Psalm 23 expresses a similar thought in its final verse: "I will dwell in the house of the LORD for years to come." This concept is correct — when True Light is withdrawn from the False Light at the time when the True-Light beings are withdrawn from this Evil Creation (Shoot of Darkness).  In other words, Darkness is beginning to suspect that when the Light supplied by the True-Light beings is withdrawn due to their liberation from Darkness, the False Light will be extinguished.  Hence the existence of the False-Light beings (beings of Darkness) is not infinite.

Creation is an ongoing process.  It is only in the Dark Shoot of Creation that "time" exists.  True Creation is Timeless.

Beings of Light will naturally be attracted to the True Light unless they are severely contaminated by Darkness.  Beings from the Shoot of Darkness are naturally attracted to the False Light created by the Shoot of Darkness and will naturally be repulsed and threatened by the True Light.  Further, True-Light beings can still be attracted to the False Light due to programming, illusions and pollution.

Although True-Light beings can be attracted to the False Light, they are not ultimately repulsed or threatened by True Light even though they might initially be a bit insecure towards It due to pollution and programming from Darkness.  True-Light beings are in fact nurtured, strengthened and sustained by the True Light.

Beings of Darkness are attracted to the False Light and are nurtured by It while beings of Light, even they are being programmed to respond or be attracted to the False Light, are not nurtured by the False Light.  Instead, they are being exploited by the False Light and become pockets of energy that nurture Darkness.

Beings of Darkness are not comfortable in the presence of True Light.  They feel a sense of gloom and doom.  They can never recognize nor accept the True Light and Its "Messengers".  They can never truly feel at home nor can they truly be committed to the Work sponsored by the True Light.  Such ones will always feel that they are still searching for their way home, even if they encounter True Light and Its Messengers.  This is true since their real home goes back to the Shoot of Darkness and not to the Branch of Light or the Source.

On the other hand, beings of Light can never totally feel committed or comfortable with the False Light.  The True-Light beings who are nourished by the True Light grow in Purity, while the False-Light beings who are nurtured by the False Light grow more and more evil.  However, beings for either side will ultimately know which side they belong to.

The True Light carries an inner sound, an inner vibration, a blueprint which the False Light cannot reproduce even though the False Light can imitate the appearance of the True Light.  This is where the awakened beings of Light will be able to discriminate the True-Light beings from the False-Light beings AFTER the final stages of the separation of Light from Darkness commence.  There is the Pulse, the inner Sound, the inner Vibration that individual beings of True Light can inwardly access to recognize the True Light.

The separation of the True Light and False Light is now in progress.  This is manifesting on many levels and the operation is extremely complex and delicate.  The entire Tree of Creation (the Expression) appears to be far gone, but some of It can still be retrieved.  Therefore, the Tree can be saved with some delicate pruning.  It is better to lose the offending part than to lose the entire Tree.

As beings of the True Light become more and more detached from the beings of the False Light, they become more and more unified with the True Light.  When this occurs they begin to notice the differences between themselves and the beings of Darkness (This will occur more on the subtle level and in their spiritual expression rather than in their physical appearance).

As beings of Light become more and more in tune with the True Light, they will become more and more vibrant, shining sparks of the True Light.  Beings of Light and beings of Darkness will then become more and more intolerant and uncomfortable with one another.  While this separation of the two Lights is in progress, True-Light beings and False-Light beings will both be undertaking their respective "metamorphoses".

The Miniature Galaxy that has been discussed in the past is a "Half-Way House" for the viables when they are evacuated from this Evil Creation.  True-Light beings who have been contaminated by Darkness will reside there until all the necessary "metamorphoses" is completed so that they can safely be re-assimilated into the Branch of Light.  Thus, once again, they will be re-united with the Source and become an integral part of the True Creation.

It is then that True-Light beings will exist in the love, purity, timelessness, harmony, joy and beauty of the True Creation.  Even the being known as "Time" will have been liberated from Darkness.
