MISSION ST MICHAEL

DEFINITIONS - Part TWO

Karma

The errors committed in previous incarnations which have to be negated in order to advance to a higher level of understanding (cf 'Sin'). The law of cause and effect and retribution. "Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap." "For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction." Necessitates the soul's reincarnation until all karmic cycles are balanced; thus, from lifetime to lifetime Man determines his fate by his actions, including his thoughts, feelings, words and deeds. By coming into Understanding, these requirements can be negated.

Kuthumi

Formerly Master of the Second Ray, of Divine Illumination, now a World Teacher; Thutmose III, pharaoh, prophet and high priest; Pythagoras, Greek philosopher and mathematician; Balthazar, one of the three Magi, believed to be King of Ethiopia; St Francis of Assisi, renounced wealth for poverty; Shah Jahan, Mogul emperor of India, builder of the Taj Mahal.

Kyiv

(Kiev) Ancient city located on one of the planet's major (positive) energy grid intersections, has always been known as a meeting place. World's oldest underground transit system.

Lady Nada

Master of the 6th (Rose) Ray of Ministration and Service; served as priestess in the Temple of Love in Atlanta; sponsor of twin flames, the family and the world's children; administers the gifts of the Holy Spirit, the science of the spoken Word.

Lanto the Sage

Master of the Second (Yellow) Ray, great light of ancient China, where he was a ruler and contemporary of Confucius; high priest in Lemuria; master of sages and philosophers.

Last Day(s)

A day is symbolic in ancient terminology with the word 'degree'; the degree in the zodiac, or within a circle as being 360, and this in reference to days, or that which is the degree of movement within a portion of that cycle. The 'Last Day' ... that which is the final reckoning for that entity's movement on his circle or wheel of destiny, and back to the source - the wheel of destiny ... the path of the individual who travels away from the Divine, back to the Father on the last day or degree of his journey. The conclusion of a Divine program, after which there is an upward spiral into a new Master program. Marked by a noticeable speeding up of consciousness and time. For those not working with the Light it will be a time of great tribulation, a time of retribution as the world systems of materialism and economic manipulation of the human creation will be brought to an end.

Lector

A lector (reader) in the West is a clerk having the second of the four minor orders. In all Eastern Churches also, readers are ordained to a minor order preparatory to the diaconate. The primary reason for a special class of readers was the need of some persons sufficiently educated to be able to read the books in church, for the Christians continued the Jewish practice of reading the Sacred Books publicly. An old set of Western canons, gives forms for all ordinations. Canon 8: "When a reader is ordained let the bishop speak about him (faciat de illo verbum) to the people, pointing out his faith and life and skill. After this, while the people look on, let him give him the book from which he is to read, saying to him: Receive this and be the spokesman (relator) of the word of God and you shall have, if you do your work faithfully and usefully, a part with those who have administered the word of God" (Denzinger, op. cit., n. 156). But gradually the lectorate lost all importance. The deacon obtained the office of reading the Gospel; in the West the Epistle became the privilege of the subdeacon. In the Eastern Churches this and other lessons are still supposed to be read by a lector, but everywhere his office (as all minor orders) may be supplied by a layman.
Everywhere the order of reader has become merely a stepping-stone to major orders, and a memory of early days. In the Roman Rite in is the second minor order (Ostiarius, Lector, Exorcista, Acolythus). The minor orders are conferred during Mass after the first Lesson; but they may be given apart from Mass, on Sundays or doubles, in the morning. The lectorate involves no obligation of celibacy or of any other kind. The Byzantine Office will be found in the "Euchologion" (Euchologion to mega, Venetian 8th edition, 1898, pp. 186-87). The Armenians (Gregorian and Uniate) have adopted the Roman system of four minor orders exactly. Their rite of ordaining a reader also consists essentially in handing to him the book of the Epistles.

Lent

The Easter fast. The Teutonic word Lent, employed to denote the forty days' fast preceding Easter, originally meant no more than the spring season. Still it has been used from the Anglo-Saxon period to translate the more significant Latin term quadragesima (Fr. car?me, It. quaresima, Span. cuaresma), meaning the "forty days", or more literally the "fortieth day". This in turn imitated the Greek name for Lent, tessarakoste (fortieth), a word formed on the analogy of Pentecost (pentekoste), which last was in use for the Jewish festival before New-Testament times.
In determining this period of forty days the example of Moses, Elias, and Christ must have exercised a predominant influence, but it is also possible that the fact was borne in mind that Christ lay forty hours in the tomb. On the other hand just as Pentecost (the fifty days) was a period during which Christians were joyous and prayed standing, though they were not always engaged in such prayer, so the Quadragesima (the forty days) was originally a period marked by fasting, but not necessarily a period in which the faithful fasted every day. Still, this principle was differently understood in different localities, and great divergences of practice were the result. In Rome, in the fifth century, Lent lasted six weeks, but according to the historian Socrates there were only three weeks of actual fasting, exclusive even then of the Saturday and Sunday
St. Gregory writing to St. Augustine of England laid down the rule, "We abstain from flesh meat, and from all things that come from flesh, as milk, cheese, and eggs." This decision was afterwards enshrined in the "Corpus Juris", and must be regarded as the common law of the Church.

Levitation

Overcoming 'gravity' by rising or being raised from actual ground level; raising one's level of consciousness actually overcomes what is commonly called 'gravity'.

Life

A chain of experiences intended to broaden the mind, sharpen the intellect, exalt the spirit and test the mettle of man. There is life and intelligence in all forms - every element, every mineral - it is 'reason' that sets Man apart.

Life's Purpose

The whole purpose of life is to learn how to manifest God in Truth and the Law. As Man gradually knows his purpose and the Law by knowing God in himself, life becomes more and more beautiful, and Man more powerful in his own manifestation of power. Man's real power lies in 'giving': he must learn to 'give' as does Nature.

Light

Spiritual Light is the energy of God, the potential of the Christ, the Source of all life; that which kindles the divine spark. The Light that saves the soul is that which is allowed to shine forth on the reality of that which resides eternally within self. This in turn is called knowing. God is Light: the opposing term is darkness. Without Light all things perish. All knowledge is Light. In Light all is projected

Lightbearer

One who has been enlightened and testifies or carries Truth to others; a dispeller of Darkness.

Lighted Brotherhood

See Great White Brotherhood

Logos

The thought of God co-eternal with all hierarchical unfoldments of a Divine Thought-Form.

Lord

A much misused word in scriptures. Infers a higher being or teacher of the highest cause, but in reality means 'The Word.' In Scottish Gaelic means 'laird' or landowner, and is so used in the Gaelic Bible, which is not a translation of any version of the English Bible.

Lost Sheep

Reincarnated souls, on the search for Truth.

Love

The substance of Eternal Life. The FIRST CAUSE. The force that uplifts and inspires mankind. Children starve without it. Men and women wither and decay when it is lacking. It costs nothing, yet its value cannot be measured by material standards. It can lift a wretched human from the miry clay of despair and set his feet upon the solid rock of respectability and service. When love is expanded and consciousness is expanded to its fullest possible capacity, one becomes GOD.

Man

The thought projection of God. The highest expression of Deity known in the entire Omniverse. A race created by Superior Beings to inhabit planet Earth, being an abbreviation for 'human' or 'mankind' and not an indication of being male, although the English language uses the same word to indicate an individual of the male sex. The first two attempts ended in failure. The current, third race has until the end of the current Great Cycle to evolve further into what is known as the 4th dimension. The manifestation of God; male and female made in the image and likeness of God. An image of preprogrammed DNA that can be articulated into being through certain sound and Light frequencies.

Mantra

A set of sound-patterns and thought-forms which can code consciousness into the consciousness of Light. Holy energy forms of meditation which are used to charge the body with the powers and rapture of the Divine Mind. A word or phrase which has a sacred meaning, often repeated over and over with a view to achieving greater spiritual understanding and growth.

Masters

Teachers of the Seven Rays of Life, on a level with the Archangels, all chosen by the Council of the Great White Hierarchy (Lighted Brotherhood), and who report to the Teacher of Teachers, Aton, the One Light, of the Eighth Ray. These and their attributes are:-

First	Leadership	Red	El Morya, the Statesman
Second	Education	Light Blue	Lanto the Sage
Third	Philosophy	Green	Paul the Venetian
Fourth	Arts	Yellow	Serapis Bey - the Architect
Fifth	Science	Indigo	Hilarion the Healer
Sixth	Devotion	Rose	Lada Nada
Seventh	Ceremony	Violet	St Germain - the Alchemist

All are identified as being of the Amethystine Order (the purple ray), an illuminist Order of Essenes.
They are those who have overcome the trials of the third dimension and have graduated to a much higher plane. They cannot be confined to any creed, religion, doctrine or dogma, nor can their names be invoked for the sealing of anyone's private interpretation of the law or the scriptures; they are our friends, guides, counselors and comforter on the way of life, walking hand in hand with the Lightbearer in this age.
It should be noted that there are also "Masters" on the side of evil or Masters of Darkness. They are attracted especially to those who are highly developed spiritually and very active in spreading The Word.

Masters of Darkness

Advanced beings on the side of evil; they often attach themselves to those who are advanced spiritually or otherwise hampering the cause of evil; petitions for their removal must be sent to a level higher than Archangels.

Matter

All matter originates from the mind: a concept alien to current scientific thought. Science claims to have discovered what holds matter together, but still does not understand matter itself.

Meditation

The state of mind necessary in order to commune with Higher Beings, listening to that still small voice within; especially, awaiting an answer to Prayer.

Messiah

A great Messenger in lowly, human form sent by God at the ending of each Age to hasten Man's understanding and whose birth is typically celebrated at the Winter Solstice ('Christmas') but who until now has been rejected by most of the populace, through the influence of the priestly class, as this interfered with their power over the people. At the ending of this particular cycle His appearance will be in a different role - "every eye shall see him" - and his ''church' will be gathered unto Him.

Metatron

The Archangel at the head of the Archangelic hierarchy.

Middle Ages

A period in the middle of the current, Piscean Age when the Church had established complete control over the populace by monopolizing 'God', establishing itself as the only (and necessary) intermediary between Man and God, imposing its views unilaterally and exacting punishment (including death) for deviations from its rulings on all matters of behaviour, even into the field of science.
This lasted until the 1500s, when modern science was given the task using the 'scientific method' to define God. As they failed to do this, Man turned more and more to Materiality rather than Spirituality.

Millennium

A one-thousand year point in history, used normally to indicate the end of an Age (which lasts 2,000 years), which time is recognized in sacred writings as a time of Tribulation, 'End Times' or the 'End' of time (more correctly the end of an Age), when great changes take place. One of many openings through the veils of Light which man can enter to freely co-mingle with the higher intelligence and divinities of other worlds

Missionary

One who is on a mission, especially that of bringing Truth, Comfort, Healing or spiritual help to others.

Monad

The One created by the Logos. At the Monadic level of consciousness one is fully aware of the oneness of all things, but is not yet receiving Logoic light directly.

Monasticism

Withdrawal from the world, in seclusion, with the renunciation of all worldly goods and activities, under the rules of chastity, poverty and obedience, in the belief that this will help bring union with God.

Monotheistic

Believing that there is only one God or Supreme Being.

Narrow Path

The 'Right Hand Path' ..... the 'Red Road' (American Indians) ..... the 'lighted pathway' ..... 'Tao' ..... the way to enlightenment; the route taken may vary from one individual to another, but the Laws are immutable.

Nephilim

The offspring of fallen angels ('sons of God') and the 'daughters of men' which resulted in an extensive race of hybrid giants [Genesis 6:4] on Earth, with superhuman prowess [Numbers 13:33] and who were known for their extreme wickedness. This genetic contamination, which excluded only the family of Noah, resulted in the flood which was to wipe out this corruption by destroying the human race (other than Noah?s family) and on a second occasion the total extermination of the Canaanites. The fallen angels were subsequently kept in "everlasting chains" in Tartarus or the nether realms until the day of judgment.

144,000

The chosen teachers at the closing of this era; interpreted by some churches as the number of people who will be 'saved' when the world comes to an end. Includes those to be taken up early in the 21st century for further learning, returning by 2012 to help rebuild the planet to its former glory .

Order of Enoch

(Brotherhood of Enoch) initiates the faithful into new worlds of consciousness by creating the spiritual-scientific scrolls of knowledge; builds the pyramidal grids on the planets necessary to evolve the biomes of intelligence.

Order of Melchizedek

(Brotherhood of Melchizedek) in charge of the consciousness reprogramming necessary to link physical creation with the externalization of the divine hierarchy.

Order of Michael

(Brotherhood of Michael) guards the galaxies from biological-spiritual interference from the lesser forces of Light except where necessary to train/test for soul advancement.

Orders

Four minor orders of the Latin church were porter, lector, exorcist, acolyte.

Oversoul

Groups of flames who join together as an extended Soul Family (q.v.) for a common purpose - to fulfil some soul function in the process of growing and unfolding spiritually.

Parapsychology

The study that investigates the psychological aspect of apparently supernatural phenomena such as telepathy, clairvoyance, extrasensory perception (ESP) etc.

Path

The straight gate and the narrow way which leadeth unto life.

Patience

A natural by-product of certainty and knowing. When you find yourself impatient with another or a situation, you can know that your frequency has dropped and that you have withdrawn to some extent from your connection to Source.

Paul the Venetian

Lord of the Third Ray of Love; served as head of cultural affairs in Atlantis; helped establish the Inca civilization; in last incarnation was known as a great artist and painter; his etheric retreat is the Chateau de Liberte+ on the Rhone River, above an existing chateau.

Photon Belt

Commonly called The Milky Way, planet Earth crosses it twice every 52,000 years. Consists of photons or light particles, which significantly impact life on earth. We are currently on the fringes of this Belt: upon entry there is either three days of darkness or brilliant light and all electrical energy sources fail, necessitating adequate preparations being made to cope with such conditions. Best guess at when this will occur is the year 2012.

Pillars of Control

Fear, Guilt, Ignorance and Poverty - the areas through which control is exercised over the populace.

Plane

The level at which existence is experienced.

Porter

Denoted among the Romans the slave whose duty it was to guard the entrance of the house. In the Roman period all houses of the better class had an ostiarius, or ostiary, whose duties were considered very inferior. When, from the end of the second century the Christian communities began to own houses for holding church services and for purposes of administration, church ostiaries are soon mentioned, at least for the larger cities. They are first referred to in the letter of Pope Cornelius to Bishop Fabius of Antioch written in 251 (Eusebius, "H. E.", VI, 43), where it is said that there were then at Rome 46 priests, 7 deacons, 7 sub-deacons, 42 acolytes, and 52 exorcists, lectors, and ostiaries, or doorkeepers.

Poverty

The state of not owning material wealth, not being allowed to have private property or not having worldly possessions.

Prana

(Sanskrit) means "breath"; the vital energy which keeps all living things alive. Also known as Chi.

Pranayama

Breath control. Used in certain yoga practices.

Prayer

The asking, without which nothing is ever received. It opens the door of God's intervention in Man's affairs; an avenue whereby the cosmic beings who desire to serve planet Earth can render special assistance. Meditation being the awaiting of an answer to prayer or questions posed.
He that would know the Way, must be oft in prayer, joyous prayer.
Lord, here am I! Use me in the way, in the manner thou seest fit; that I may ever be that thou hast purposed for me to be - a light shining as in darkness to those who have lost hope, from one cause or another.

Princes of the Air

Numerous Lords of the Luciferian rebellion who rule over the realms of higher intelligence who have not pledged to uphold the Cosmic Law nor the decisions of the Councils of Light. They desire to be independent kings and lords of the universe in control of the creational experience.

Princes of the Earth

Leaders of the materialistic forces on planet Earth which establish themselves as objects of political veneration and military authority, denying the Divine Mind and the reality of divinities who can educate the masses beyond the graven images of the Earth.

Prodigal

One who has returned, in particular one who was once a believer but turned to a God-less way of life, being referred to by the church as a backslider, now having returned once more to the fold of believers.

Prophecy

A statement of occurrences in the future, unless steps are taken to change the direction in which one is going; usually issued by seers, clairvoyants, through extra-terrestrial contact or during a 'near-death' experience, as a forewarning, yet usually taken as an unavoidable future event. When the event fails to take place as expected it is usually taken as a false prophecy, yet circumstances may have been changed sufficiently to negate the happening.

Protocols of the Elders of Zion

A modern distilled essence of the principles scattered throughout the Talmud but concentrated and brought uptodate.

Psalm

Spiritual song, confined to those which appear in the Book of Psalms of most Christian Bibles.

Psychology

The science dealing with the mind and mental processes, feelings, desires etc; the science of human and animal behaviour.

Psychometry

The faculty of divining knowledge about an object, or about a person connected with it, through contact with the object.

Rapture

An event popularized by Christian churches (although not referred to anywhere in their Bibles) whereby at the 'End of the World' believers are taken physically up into the heavens by their Redeemer, leaving 'unbelievers' or members of other denominations/religions to be destroyed by the turmoil of the ending of this world. The False Rapture is a holographic representation portraying the Second Coming of Christ, planned for the middle of the '90s or shortly thereafter, in order to entice Christians to their doom.

Redeemed

Those that have been 'saved' from sin and its consequences.

Redemption

The belief that the blood of Jesus Christ, shed on the cross at Calvary, washes away all 'sins' and 'redeems' the individual sinner - introduced into the Bible by Martin Luther and now one of the mainstays of the Christian Church, being a means of identifying who has been 'washed in the blood' and therefore eligible to be a member of the Church.

Religion

Initially the study of Man's relationship to God and his Laws for living, all religions having similar beliefs, although the followers of these religions have little understanding for those of other religions. Compare the similarity in the sayings by the leader of each of these religions:-
Buddha - In dealing with others, one should do as he would have done him ...
Confucius - Do not do to others that which you would not they do to you ...
Jesus - All things whatsoever ye would that men do unto you, do you even unto them ...
Krishna - The true rule is to do by the things of others, as you do by your own ...
Law of Moses (Torah) - Do only to another man what you would that he do unto you ...
Mohammed - Let none of you treat his brother in a way he himself would dislike being treated ...
Zoroaster - Be good, be kind, be human and charitable; love your fellows; console the afflicted; pardon those who have done you wrong ...
Today religion has become little more than membership in a 'club', where members adhere to certain rules and are 'saved' whereas all others are 'lost.' The misuse of spiritual Truths in order to control others is the thread which runs through most religions today.

Religious Order

Differs from a Church as such in that churches are comprised of adherents (followers), members (those committed to its support and its philosophy), and clerics or administrators (organizers and teachers), whereas an Order is comprised solely of the latter - preachers and teachers.
Originated in the 10th century with the culmination of the monastic system into closely knit institutions subordinate to a mother house; later permitted monks to belong to a province rather than a specific house, or to the order itself, allowing complete liberty of movement. Other changes were made over the years to fill a particular need of the times; communities allowed regular clerics to devote themselves to a specific field such as teaching, preaching or missionary endeavors. Declined in popularity in the 18th, 19th centuries, but revived in the 20th century, especially in the New World. Monasteries were self-sufficient communities.
A Spiritual Order would be more appropriate today: religion infers controlling the people, whereas spiritual infers the true meaning of understanding.

Sabbath

The seventh day, which Christians and others are commanded to keep 'holy' - thereby making them in effect 'part-time' Christians, as one's behaviour should remain the same every day of the week, not just on one special day set aside for 'being holy.'

Saint

One whose energy of Love and Light is so moving that the feeling of being close to God is experienced in the presence of this soul.

St Germain

Master of the Seventh (Violet) Ray; ruler of a golden civilisation some 50,000 years ago located where the Sahara desert now lies; high priest in Atlantis; Samuel the Prophet; the Roman soldier who became St Alban in 3rd century Britain; Merlin the Magician; Roger Bacon, scientist and philosopher; Christopher Columbus, "discoverer" of America; and Francis Bacon, the essayist, otherwise known as William Shakespeare, should have been 'King Francis I of England' as he was born of Queen Elizabeth I of England and Lord Leicester, but his birth was 'politically incorrect' - she informed him of this personally when he reached the age of 15 but was forbidden to mention it on pain of death.

St Hilarion

Master of the Fifth (Emerald Green) Ray; healing and wholeness, music and science, precipitation; etheric retreat lies above the island of Crete; incarnated as the Apostle Paul; later as Saint Hilarion, hermit and healer.

Salvation

The earning of eternal life - thereby disavowing the eternal nature of the soul. Christianity as a whole places the 'salvation' of one and all squarely on the shoulders of the Man of Galilee, Esu Immanuel, known as Jesus Christ, who 'died' on the Cross for the 'sins' of all mankind, thereby granting Eternal Life to everyone who believes on Him, and saving them from the fires of Hell, if they will only believe. This despite the fact that the Epistle of James [2:24] states that "a man is justified by works and not by faith only," - which is still the philosophy of the Roman Catholic Church.

Sananda

On the Second Coming (q.v.), the Man of Galilee shall be given a new name, now revealed as Sananda.

Sanat Kumara

The Silver Ray of Creation; the biblical "Ancient of Days"; known to American Indians as "Grandfather", to whom the spiritual hierarchy on Earth reports.

Sanctify

To make pure from a religious or spiritual point of view.

Sanctuary

A consecrated place; part of the church where the altar is situated; a place for worship

Sanctum

A sacred place, normally referred to in the sense of hiding from intrusion, persecution or other evil (as in inner sanctum - an office or study).

Satan

The Adversary, Lucifer, the Devil, the Bright Morning Star, the principal Fallen Angel who personifies Evil; permitted to have full control over planet Earth before the ending of this cycle.

Scriptures

Writings, especially early, sacred writings on the history of Man and his relationship with God.

Second Coming

The return of the Messiah (see 'Rapture') at the ending of an Age.

Secularism

A term used for the first time about 1846 by George Jacob Holyoake to denote "a form of opinion which concerns itself only with questions, the issues of which can be tested by the experience of this life" (English Secularism, 60). More explicitly, "Secularism is that which seeks the development of the physical, moral, and intellectual nature of man to the highest possible point, as the immediate duty of life ? which inculcates the practical sufficiency of natural morality apart from Atheism, Theism or the Bible ? which selects as its methods of procedure the promotion of human improvement by material means, and proposes these positive agreements as the common bond of union, to all who would regulate life by reason and ennoble it by service" (Principles of Secularism, 17). And again, "Secularism is a code of duty pertaining to this life founded on considerations purely human, and intended mainly for those who find theology indefinite or inadequate, unreliable or unbelievable. Its essential principles are three:

1. The improvement of this life by material means.
   
2. That science is the available Providence of man.
   
3. That it is good to do good. "Whether there be other good or not, the good of the present life is good, and it is good to seek that good" (English Secularism, 35).

Seraphim

Seraphim carry a royal sceptre

• Vacabiel is the Seraphim of the Piscean Age, Guardian Spirit of the Piscean Age
• Sakmaquil is the Seraphim of the Aquarian Age, Guardian Spirit of the Aquarian Age, female

Serapis Bey

Master of the Fourth (White) Ray; high priest in Atlantis; was pharaoh Amenhotep III (The Magnificent); Leonidas, King of Sparta, celebrated for heroism at the battle of Thermopylae; known as the great disciplinarian, trains candidates for ascension; hierarch of the Ascension Temple at Luxor.

Shamballah

Capital city of the subterranean world known as Agharta (q.v.)

Similia similibus curantur

Like is cured by like (homoeopathic dictum)

Sin

An error committed in this experience on planet Earth and which may have to be eradicated by future conduct and recognition of wrongdoing - i.e., being of a contrite heart; religions based on the 'Bible' insist that all are 'born into sin' and therefore are sinners from the beginning, creating a feeling of guilt, which helps the Church control the populace. The 'sins' of past lives constitute negative karma. The deadliest 'sins' are Avarice (Greed), Gluttony (Excess), Lust, Wrath, Envy, Sloth, Fear, Guilt, Hypocrisy, Vanity and Prejudice.

Sins of the fathers

The DNA which a child inherits from its mother and father, and their respective parents back to the seventh generation, affecting character, physical characteristics and health.

Soul

The real individual or entity, which never ages and never dies, unless destroyed by the Creator; a flame which is formed of and comes from God's energy; an immortal, electro-magnetic energy consciousness; the Lighted Connection to All That Is.

Soul Family

A flower-shaped combination containing one to a maximum of nine petals, each of which has male and female elements, commonly referred to as 'twin flames.' hey may not necessarily incarnate at the same time and the male element may not necessarily incarnate as a physical male. If there is no split into male and female elements the soul is androgynous, and may be independent of a flame or even an oversoul. The marriage of twin-flames is not necessarily harmonious - in fact it is generally inharmonious.

Soul Mates

A very misunderstood term: commonly thought of as the perfect partner with whom one can go through life, but this term actually refers to all of the souls which belong to the oversoul, working together in unison, as each is a soul-mate to all the others. See Soul Family.

Sphinx

The symbolic vehicle of Light built in Egypt to symbolize the vehicle that can go through the solar spectrum. The vehicle has the "face" of higher evolutionary intelligence which is capable of riding the solar waves.

Spiritual Breath

The sustaining breath of the Spirit; when expelled creates an eddying of consciousness in concentric, rapidly moving rings expanding out to the furthest periphery of manifestation. Breathing in deeply through the nostrils, allowing oxygen to come as close as physically possible to the brain, then expelling the air through the mouth, in unbroken cycles.

Spiritual Order

a more appropriate term today for Religious Order (q.v.)

Spontaneous combustion

The disappearance of a living being through combustion, leaving only an ash residue, usually accompanied by a fire of limited range - articles close by or above the individual will be burned or singed, but the fire does not spread. The same phenomenon may also cause inanimate objects to catch fire. Apart from the spiritual reason for leaving the physical plane, this occurs at a specific moment when the angles of the sun and moon with the earth, at a given latitude and longitude, coincide with the atomic weight of the element phosphorus (3.09) - also referred to as the Time=Distance=Elements syndrome. In odd cases, a limb will remain unconsumed by this fire.

Suicide

A premature departure from this plane, requiring the experience to be undertaken once more, under much more arduous terms.

Sutras

(Sanskrit) 'thought threads.'

Tao

Also written and pronounced as Dao, The Path or Way, otherwise the Truth as promulgated by the followers of Taoism. Founded by the librarian of the Zhou imperial court archives and Chinese sage, Lao Tsu, 500 BC, who wrote Dao De Jing - "The Way to Follow". Legend claims that he had a meeting with Confucius.

Talmud

Compiled over several centuries to give the Jews a Code of Laws to live by and a formula by which they could destroy the 'Goyim' i.e., the White Race in particular.

Temple

From the Latin templum, which signifies a holy enclosure or building, screened from the eyes of the profane. In later times it came to mean a shrine where people worshipped, or a designated place in a masonic lodge where ceremonies took place; a place destined for contact with higher intelligences, angels, gods, or simply the divine, generally build by those with knowledge of the science of energies for building and quite often erected where the location favoured a junction between cosmic and telluric currents, so that some kind of transmission of spiritual knowledge or realization could take place for the benefit of those present during ceremonies.
Esoterically the temple symbolizes the receptacle in which divine revelation is received. It is also a material representation of the human heart, which is the true temple. The physical temple is only necessary because at the present stage of evolution, the majority of mankind cannot contact higher levels of consciousness without external aids. This is gradually changing as we enter the Age of Aquarius.

Testament, New

Written to confuse and confound the Romans in particular and the White Race in general, and has been devastatingly successful.

Testament, Old

A powerful instrument in uniting the Jewish (Judean) race.

Theology

The study in all its aspects of God [from the Greek: Theos]

Thought

The most powerful tool that mankind has in its possession.

Thule

A Kingdom existing at the North Pole or within the (hollow) Earth itself, reference being found in German legends, and in the existence of a secret society during the time of NAZI rule in Germany.

Tithing

An institution of Man, not God, whereby one-tenth of one's income is donated to the church; gifts should be given in secret and no enquiry should be made as to who has given.

Truth

The conception of Truth varies somewhat between the various religions, faiths or churches but essentially revolves around the acceptance as 'infallible' of the documents put together as a 'control manual' and popularly called in Christian circles 'The Holy Bible' - to be held in awe, and to which nothing may be added or subtracted. Essentially the Truth lies within each one of us, and must be re-awakened in order to come into Understanding. In Taoism, 'tao' means 'truth.'

Ultimate Light

That Light of such brilliance that no earthy being can look into it; the Ultimate Light Source is God; to whom unqualified Love is due. The Ultimate God energy from which two major rays flow: -
Silver - White Ray of Creation, and the Golden - White Ray of the Christ purity
As these two light rays merge they splinter into the coloured light energies of the rainbow.

Unchurched

Someone who has never been introduced to the church, and has therefore never entered a church for the purpose of worship; often used with reference to children of those who do not attend church.

Underworld

When major disasters struck the planet in the past some races or families moved from the surface of the earth to the vast underground caverns. As their occasional appearance struck terror into the observers, these races having changed significantly in appearance over time, this gave rise to the idea that the Devil lived underground.

Universal Laws

see Commandments

Vulgate

The Latin text of the Bible, includes the Apocrypha, regarded by the Roman Church as authoritative.

The Watchers
