Receive what God wills. We are here to help you. We will guide your steps along the way. Just relax and feel where our thoughts guide you and you will gain expertise with time. Patience perfects. We propose an essay on a typical day of loving service on the second resurrection plateau and how it differs from that of a first resurrection plateau.
Knowledge of all Light is the pursuit of all souls on the plateau. Our thoughts, our wills, and our united effort are all directed to this one purpose. Unity is our motto in everything we do. Our cares have long since been cast upon God, and the joy of selfless service is our preoccupying endeavor. The Light of the Ever-Present fills the air so that no darkness, illness, or ugliness can enter. Barren landscapes are an impossibility, and hospitals, detainment centers or asylums have long been left on the plateaus below. The All Light is all that remains in the form of colleges, libraries, auditoriums, sparkling bright factories, and similar facilities dedicated to the cultivation of the All Light.
The day begins. No dawn to greet us for the Light is Ever-present. Our focus of what you would call friends or close co-workers depends upon the association we had long since established on the earth and the planes below… These are the ones with whom your links are most personal and perpetuated. We are, of course, all friends here, linked together with a deep abiding love and comradeship which is of a degree incomprehensible to those below. Unlike the plateaus below, where personal residences are needed and provided, we don’t require as much time for personal solitude but stay amongst our focus of co-workers when we wish to retire and relax. Our particular circle shares the white alabaster dome to the west of the “Library of the Light Ever-Present”. Our new day has no dawn, but we feel ebb and flow, rhythm, and cycle, and we know from the Light within when new dawn has begun.
We affectionately call our abode the “Alabaster Bubble”, and on this dawn we assembled together in the central chamber for music and discussion. As you might expect, many of us who reside together were once companions on the earth plane, for often soul attraction on the lower planes continues through the planes above. Because our interests and talents are similar, we were all working on the same projects at this time though that is not always the case. Currently the Voice of the Ever-Present has directed our efforts into two avenues, which had been arranged and delegated to us by the High Council so that whatever tasks we undertake may be in complete harmony with the object of the plateau as a whole. That object, of course, is dependent on the work of the Ever-Present as it comes to us through the throne of God, his appointed son for this cycle. Our two projects at this time have been to help bring the Light of the organic heavens to a group of healing “Angels” on the plateau below, and to bring the new Light of The New Age to an organic group of dedicated mortals on an obscure corner of the earth.
A soft insistent voice speaks within us, “The day has begun.” We leave our domed retreat of polished alabaster behind, and bathed in the Eternal Light we stroll by the flower beds and through the forest path to the “Library of the Light Ever-Present” where we are to be briefed by the representatives for the High Council concerning our project for the day. The Library stands by itself in the broad meadow beyond the trees. Its appearance resembles a four-sided pyramid of burnished silver. Its capstone is an iridescent ruby in appearance, though its hue varies with the ebb and flow of energy. Passing by its flower beds we walk through its glass doors and into the foyer within.
Our morning gathering at the Library is always like a family reunion. We always arrive with an air of excitement, filled with tales of our latest experiences and we waste little time finding others to speak to because our opportunity is brief. The reunion is soon aborted by a call to order by the High Council’s representative in the east end of the hall. Today our instructions were routine and anticipated. We were to meet with our group of mortals who have been seeking spiritual development in the north-central region of the Himalayas .
These meetings had been set on a pre-arranged schedule and, of course, we were aware that this was such a morning. There are fourteen different committees working with this particular group of developing mortals, each committee working on a particular aspect of development depending on our talents and interests. We had been helping by developing out of the body experiences and so-called trance speaking in their developing mediums. As our instructions were brief, we were among the first to leave for the misty shrouded earth below…
Our method of travel in this instance requires no elaborate vehicle. Rather, our means of traveling through the interven¬ing space consists merely of the envelope of our thoughts and the desire to be at the corporeal location of our labors. A flash of light and we are there, all of us together, standing on the hillside in front of the Himalayan abode in which our mortal wards meet at a pre-arranged time to praise their Creator and receive instruction from their mentors whom they know as envoys of the Ever-Present, but not as individuals.
The impersonal nature of our communication is not only adhered to in order to prevent un-necessity attention being brought to us as individual personalities (and therefore away from the Ever-Present), but also for practical reasons. Depend¬ing on needs that fluctuate substantially over time, we may come in groups of as few as eight to as many as eight hundred thousand crowdings on this tiny Himalayan hillside. Imagine the confusion of our mortal wards were we to start naming the individuals who were with them on that day. It would not only draw their concentration away from the things we needed to teach but would waste valuable time with no constructive purpose other than to emphasize the self which is not of primary importance on our Plateau.
So-called spiritual communion of this type requires much more coordination and planning than you might imagine. It also requires a constant protective pleroma of a degree which is only possible when an organic overshadowing is linked to an organic association of mortals consecrated to the Ever-Present and maintaining a purer devotion and lifestyle than that followed by the average mortal. Picture all the dark and misguided thoughts of the masses as oily black soot that continually rains upon mortals affecting their thoughts and attitudes in such a way as to cultivate base desires, anxiety, paranoia, and other negative volitions.
Our mortal wards must not only be shielded from these so that the higher Light may pierce through the darkness, but also constantly shielded from the wandering familiars who would prefer to bring destructive elements into our design. This requires a continual expenditure of protective energy that we are only able to maintain to a high enough degree with groups of mortals that are organic in purpose as we are. They need not be living under the same roof or even in the same geographic locality, but their concentrated unity of purpose and harmony must be of the right degree.
We expend a great deal of energy at these sessions not only in instruction and manifestations but also in just maintaining a constant vigil, whether the instructing groups are present or not. So that once our meet¬ing is completed, we ourselves sometimes feel the need for an activity requiring less intensive concentration, and so with the speed of a flash of thought, we will be back on the Plateau to turn our attention to the next activity of the day.
