Greetings from
Russell's Remnant: www.oocities.org/dkone_us
Humanity’s Spiritual Standing
Many years ago, Dr. Russell
Whitesell was giving a lecture to the members of the Tuesday Night Group and
their guests at a then metaphysical bookstore in Metairie, Louisiana. His lecture that night had been on the subject
of the glamour that hinders people’s spiritual growth and why it takes
lifetimes to overcome all the tests that the Great Hierarchy of Masters put
individuals through before they are given the “meat” of spiritual
understanding, and why the Teachers must continue for lifetimes to give out the
“milk” of the spiritual teachings to 99% of humanity.
While giving this talk, Russell gave
some advice that was given to him by his Teacher many years ago in regard to
the maya, glamour and illusions humanity faces on this planet. Russell’s Teacher told Russell that each
individual should do something every day of their life and that something was
this. As each individual looks in
the mirror each morning before starting their day, they should look at
themselves in the mirror, smile, throw back their head and laugh at themselves
as they say the following, “YOU FOOL!
YOU JOKE! YOU FRAUD!”
Looking up the meanings of those
three words in a dictionary will help one understand just how foolish we human
beings really are in relation to the real Holy Men and Women on this
planet. i.e.
Fool: a person with little or no judgment,
common sense, wisdom, etc.
a
silly or stupid person
a
simpleton
a
professional jester
a
victim of a joke or trick
a
dupe
one
who spends time in trifling or pointless activity
one
who fritters away foolishly
a
clown
a
windbag
Joke: someone who has an amusing trick
played on them
the
humorous element in a situation
a
person to be laughed at
a
person not to be taken seriously
one
who excites laughter
Fraud: one who uses deceit, trickery or
cheating
one
who uses deception to cause someone to give up a lawful right
a
person who deceives or is not what he pretends to be
an
imposter
As one can see, Russell’s great
Teacher was explaining to him why it is so difficult to teach humanity the
deeper truth about the world scriptures.
It takes lifetimes to master the lessons. That is why the Great Ones are called “Masters.” They have mastered themselves by eliminating
their ego and desires. That is why Krisha
told Arjuna to do his duty as a soldier for the divine being had already
decided who will die that day. That is
why Buddha taught his disciples to kill out “desire.” And that is why Jesus cried out, “Not my will Father, but thine.”
That
is why the Old Testament prophet stated:
Ecclesiastes 1:2 (KJV) “Vanity of
vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities; all is vanity.”
That
is also why Master Morya, the Manu of the planet, stated: “If you knew how often We have to praise
sandpiles, calling them castles. Of
course, We rejoice at the enthusiasm aflame.”
Morya’s Garden Volume 2 pp. 153+
That
is also why Dr. Whitesell told that class, “The true spiritual world is
upside down and backwards to the world we live here on Earth.”
