As it has been pointed out, and as any
thinking individual realizes, “…separation is a thing of the past. Unity
is the goal of the immediate future. Hatred is retro-active and undesirable.
Goodwill is the touchstone which will transform the world.” Discipleship In The
New Age 1 P. 65
I first encountered the above some 50 years
or so ago. I was particularly impressed by the final remark, “Goodwill is the
touchstone which will transform the world.” We created a lovely calligraphed
card, a “touchstone”, with this message and since have mailed and shared
thousands of copies of it all over the world. (If you would like a copy or ten
just email me wezkuhl@gmail.com)
Let’s look first at the three simple
statements which preceded the final statement, First of all each is a
scientific fact. Take “separation” and “unity” for example. All forms are distinct from other forms. Each
form is an individual. However, all forms are connected with or parts of a
greater form. There is no such thing in cosmos as a separate form. We are, as
we can see, separate from Jupiter and the Sun, and we are along with them, as
we can also see, part of our Solar system. And, our Solar System, as we can see,
is part of our Galaxy. Infinity beacons.
Earth could not exist separated from the
Cosmos. Separation is an illusion. It is impossible to even imagine a separate “one”.
It takes one to see one which makes two. And now we have the space between the
two which makes three. So, it isn’t like we have to invent unity. All we have
to do is realize that Unity IS and embrace it.
Our ancient and persistent delusion of
separation has blinded us from the realization of our unification. There is
only One Humanity, and every single one of the present, going on 8,000,000,000,
individual human beings are individual parts of that One. “I am a point of
light within a greater Light. I am a strand of loving energy within a stream of
Love Divine….”
Also, once we understand the unification of
Reality we will be able to see that diversity of form is infinite.
Hate is a constant companion of the illusion
of separation which is fostered and promoted by fear. As we are presently
witnessing, Hate and Fear are the literal substance of the Retrogressive Forces.
Be not fooled, with every thought, every breath, no matter how cleverly they
dress it, they radiate hate and fear. As long as we are confused by the
illusion of being our separated mortal selves we will be easy victims of their Fear
and Hate.
The solution? “Goodwill is the touchstone which
will transform the world”
Thing is, as I gradually realized, most
people have a very shallow understanding of a “touchstone” in general, and Goodwill
in particular. People mostly think of a touchstone
as a standard of some sort by which the value or quality or content of another
person or thing is measured. Like, how does this painting of a garden measure
up to Monet’s garden paintings? Or how does this person’s villainy measure up
to Iago’s, or how many karats is this diamond or hunk of gold?
All of which is fine. Touchstones, however, are
so very much more. For example, many
dense physical objects such as actual mineral stones of one kind or another, or
garments, books, paintings, music, poetry, have been made into powerful
touchstones by having various kinds of energy impressed into them by the
individual who creates them. This fact is what makes art, Art. Such touchstones
as anyone who has been exposed to the ancient arts can tell us, radiate the impressed
energy for a very long time.
As it has been pointed out, “the word is the pedal of thought—that each word is a
thunder-bearing arrow.” New Era Community #47 Actually, all
forms, from simple words and thoughtforms to dense physical objects are, touchstones.
All forms embody energy of some frequency at some power level. When contacted
or touched either mentally, emotionally, etherically, or on the dense physical,
a form or “touchstone”, releases, radiates, delivers the energy which it holds to
whatever it touches. Obviously, the relative consciousness and accompanying sensitivity
of the touched one matters in terms of the kinds and qualities of forms or
“touchstone” to which she or he will respond.
All such forms, including the relatively
formless “images of truth which we call Ideas” Agni Yoga #122, are originally
sourced from the true Touchstones. These Touchstones are the Cosmic Principles
which drive our planet’s evolution. These Principles—Liberty, Equality, Justice,
Freedom, etcetera—are the source, the initiating Power, of the Ideas and
eventually the thoughtforms which are made manifest as our dense physical Civilizations.
One of these Principles, “The
objective expression of the subjective influence of light. Rays 5 p. 253”,
Good Will, is the source of an all-powerful energy. We call the Mother of the
World. This Energy always has, and will again, Triumph in this present struggle
with the Retrogressive forces.
Use the Power of the Mother. Use Good Will! Imagine
what a government of Good Will, a government of, for, and by the People will
look like, will be like.
Ignore the dark whisperer of fear and its
cousin doubt. Triumph is unavoidable!
The cosmic Breath of the Mother of the World
is all-pervading. Verily, all is imbued with it. From infinitesimal grains of
dust to immeasurable magnitudes, life moves and breathes by this Breath. How
then not to cognize the power which moves the Universe! How not to ponder upon
the essence of Being! Fathom the rhythm of cosmic energy and understand the
rhythm of evolution. The essence of evolution is unalterable and is measured by
the manifestation of Infinity.
You who fear the end, turn your face to the
radiance of the Mother of the World and affirm yourself in the understanding of
evolution. There is no limit to the sendings from the Mountains. There is no
limit to the warranty of the far-off worlds. There is no limit to the natural
treasures of the visible and invisible spheres.
You who fear the end, turn to all four
directions and say, “Let us realize Infinity!” The summits and the recesses of
Earth are your sources. Limitless are the currents of these sources. If people
would only know how to gather the eternally flowing currents of Infinity, then
verily the laboratory of life would be realized.
The Era of Fire is approaching. Find courage
and wisdom to accept it. The symbol of the serpent seizing its tail represents
the circle of the events of evolution. The spiral is applied to the path of
ascent.
You who fear the end, affirm yourself in the
power of the spiral of Light and of the Fire of Space. Let us say, “Beautiful
is the Breath of Cosmos!” Infinity #10
