Creating the New Earth Together

“The Great Tree”

_________________________________________________________________

The Eighth Chakra – The Temple of Light

The focal point of light above the head is just a couple of inches higher than the seventh or Crown Chakra.  My sensing is that what hovers here is a focus of the ascending fire of love at the level of what we might call the Eighth Chakra, a swirling wheel of ascending and descending currents that connect us with higher dimensions of being.  When I touch into this center during Attunement, I am immediately aware of a focus of spirit radiating a magnetic force field.

This magnetic force field is drawing upward the substance of pneumaplasm generated during the Attunement session, much as a candle’s flame draws the wax and oxygen up into and around the wick at the center of the flame where the wax is transmuted by fire. At a certain point in this process, the quantity and quality of the responding substance of pneumaplasm is sufficient to convey and reflect the current of love radiation. There is a unified release of love in the body temple and through it into the world. It is possible to understand how this substance could be dense enough to reveal the presence of “cloven tongues like unto fire,” as is written in the gospel story of the Day of Pentecost. (Acts 2:1-3)     

This flame, as I indicated, draws the fine substance of response generated and gathered during the Attunement session. The two who are sharing in the release of the current of blessing in Attunement may become consciously aware of their oneness that is already a reality in heaven. The movement of the Attunement current forms a metaphorical figure 8 in the configuration of the pair, with one standing in a position of “giving” and the other in the position of “receiving” the current. The returning cycle moves upward through them both. The two may then become aware that they share a single identity—indeed, that I AM the Attunement current of radiant love extending the blessing of my Self into the world. There is only one ascending flame.   

Uranda stated, and I sense as well, that this is the focal point of the Christ Radiance, or the White Ray of Divine Light, in our spiritual bodies.  Here is the ascending flame of worship in our body temple transmuting physical substance, lifting its essences upward as incense before the throne of God in heaven. This center provides an aperture for the radiation of the White Ray of Light, which may be what is represented by the “halo” reportedly seen hovering over the heads of saintly people. Artists often depict Jesus as having a halo above his head. There is no doubt in my mind that it is the glow of the ascending flame made visible by reason of ascending pneumaplasm as it is refined in the fire of love in the “Temple of Light.”

Uranda described seven steps to the Temple of Light. The seventh step is Love.  Love is not the destination or place of arrival; the Temple of Light is the destination, the place the seven steps lead to, and Love is the final step before entering. The instruction of the Master is to love the Lord our God with all and our neighbor as our Self.  Upon mastering this commandment, we may freely enter the Temple of Light. In the Temple of Light we lose all sense of separate individuality and know the All, utterly aware of our oneness in the Light and with all of creation.

“The Great Tree”

There is a beautiful and relevant story about a “Great Tree” in The Gospel of The Beloved Companion – The Complete Gospel of Mary Magdalene, translated from the Greek by Jehanne de Quillam.  The gospel itself is part of several scrolls of early Christian and Gnostic texts found in a cave near the upper Egyptian town of Nag Hammadi in 1945. 

Mary Magdalene – or Miriam as Jesus called her – was one of the women who traveled with Yeshua (Jesus) and helped support his ministry. She was probably wealthy.  She rose to the level of “Apostle of apostles” due to her depth of understanding of her Master’s teachings.  He called her “The Migdalah” which means “tower” in Hebrew.  The name also means  “leader, visionary, powerful.”  

The story tells of an interchange between Mary and Yeshua shortly after his ordeal and resurrection. In the mournful wake of their Master’s ignominious crucifixion, Mary Magdalene comforts a gathering of his disciples and shares with them what, in the author’s opinion, is one of the most profound teachings of this entire Gospel.  Can one, in this noisy world, ever come to a place where one can no longer hear the voice of the world?  My short answer is “Yes.” The story tells the long answer.

MIRIAM:  My Master spoke thus to me. He said: “Miriam, blessed are you who came into being before coming into being, and whose eyes are set upon the Kingdom, who from the beginning has understood and followed my teachings.  Only from the truth I tell you, there is a Great Tree within you that does not change, summer, winter, and its leaves do not fall.  Whosoever listens to my words and ascends to its crown will not taste death, but know the truth of eternal life.” 

Then he showed me a vision in which I saw a Great Tree that seemed to reach unto the heavens, and as I saw these things, he said, “The roots of this tree are in the earth, which is your body. The trunk extends upwards through the five regions of humanity to the crown, which is the Kingdom of the Spirit.”

Yeshua described this Great Tree as having eight boughs that bore their own unique fruits which he told Miriam to fully consume. The fruits, he told her, would grant her “the light of the Spirit that is eternal life.” On each bough stood a guardian at a gate leading to the next bough who would challenge her worthiness to pass. 

Now, the lower boughs were thick with leaves that prevented the light from reaching them and illuminating the way upward. Assuring her that He Himself would provide the light, and that as she ascended the leaves would thin out, allowing more light through from above, Yeshua told her, “Those who seek to ascend must free themselves of the world.  If you do not free yourself from the world you will die in the darkness that is the root of the tree. But if you free yourself, you will rise and reach the light that is eternal life.” 

As the story goes, Miryam’s soul ascended to the very top of the Great Tree where it was consumed by the fire of the Spirit. On the way up she met each challenge and gained access to the fruits. The fruits of the first bough were love and compassion, “the foundation of all things.” To eat of it she had to come free of all judgment and wrath, which she did, allowing her to pass the first of seven guardians, each one tempting her to fall for their lure.

The second bough was laden with the fruits of wisdom and understanding, of which she partook, having freed herself of ignorance and intolerance, which she did and proceeded upward to the third bough. This bough bore the fruits of honor and humility, which she was able to enjoy after coming free of duplicity and arrogance.  She then moved up to the fourth bough as the light increased. Strength and courage were the fruits of this bough, which she was able to enjoy having freed herself from the weakness of the flesh and overcome the “illusion of fear.” The “Master of this world” tried to claim her as his own, but she denied him.

Before moving on up to the fifth bough, Miryam had to reject the “deceiver” in order to pass through what her Master told her was “the hardest gate of all.” Here she partook of the fruits of clarity and truth, and in doing so she came to know herself “for the first time” as a child of the Living Spirit.

As her soul ascended to the sixth bough, the voice of the world became silent, and in the increased light she saw the fruits of power and healing, the power to heal her own soul and prepare it to ascend to the seventh bough.  The seventh bough’s fruits were light and goodness “that is the Spirit.” Consuming them she was filled with “a fierce joy” as her soul “turned to fire and flew upward in the flames.” Her Master then showed her the eighth and final bough, “upon which burn the fruits of the grace and beauty of the Spirit.”

Upon ascending to the eighth bough, her soul and everything she could see dissolved and was absorbed in a brilliant light, in the midst of which appeared “a woman of extraordinary beauty, clothed in garments of brilliant white.” At this climatic point, her soul melted into the extended arms and embrace of the woman in white raiment, and in that moment she was free from the world.  The vision thus ended.

Then from a distance she heard the voice of her Master telling her, “Miryam, whom I have called the Migdalah, now you have seen the All, and have known the truth of yourself, the truth that I AM. Now you have become the completion of completions.”  From that moment on through her remaining days, the story says, Miryam lived in silence, no longer hearing the voice of the world.

Transformation and Transfiguration

       Moses of the Old Testament is described as having a ray of light emanating from atop his head when he came down from Mount Sinai, where he reportedly communicated with God.  His face was so radiant that it had to be covered with a veil in order for the Israelites to look upon him.  The Shekinah was apparently evident through Moses.  Jesus, in the New Testament, is also described as being so radiant during his “transfiguration” in the company of his three closest disciples that they could not look upon his countenance. Here is the Shekinah, the Christ Radiance shining through the human forms of these great Beings who have incarnated throughout the history of mankind to initiate specific cycles of restoration for the Earth and the body of Mankind.   We are designed and destined to know such glory in our own expression of the spirit of God through our flesh.

       Reference to this “flame” above the head can be found, as I stated earlier, in the Biblical account of the Day of Pentecost when the apostles of Jesus were reportedly gathered “with one accord and in one place” in an “upper room” shortly after Jesus had come forth from out of the tomb as the risen Christ. These very close friends of Jesus were in a place of accord which brought down upon their heads and entire bodies and souls the transforming power of love.  They were “filled with the Holy Spirit” that produced the appearance of tongues of fire atop their heads.
