WMS HOME PAGE | LIBRARY TABLE OF CONTENTS The Perpetual
Raising (Part 3 of 5) The
body is an instrument through which we interact with the physical plane,
as souls or conscious
beings. As we refine this
instrument through meditation, and ideally with pure foods and
sufficient exercise, the body becomes, “a spiritual temple” for
Divine expression as well. Our
physical form is a repository of our life experiences, and it is these
experiences which bring about the needed lessons for soulic growth.
An excellent approach to spiritual growth is to Intentionally
treat the body and this current life, as an opportunity for adventure
into higher consciousness. By
cultivating greater inner awareness, we actively participate in our own
evolutionary process, as well as the true progress of our species.
A spiritually progressive focus upon the body is an ideal route
for achieving these Cosmic ends. The
feelings within the cells indicate an enormous amount of important
information to us. These
can be acted upon and changed at will.
Thus, we can change our state of consciousness at will, and rise
toward higher and higher levels of enlightenment, through this
apparently simple medium of the physical form.
Through the feelings in the body we can become aware of the
Intents which underlie them, and the universe in general.
It is this Intent Itself which is primarily responsible for
everything which transpires in the self and the world.. The
meditator eventually succeeds in converting the Intent elements in the
body to progressively higher degrees of clarity, love and energy.
In so doing their overall level of consciousness continues to
expand. By using the Intent
of Perpetual Raising throughout the body, (through a body-wide awareness
focus) we may accelerate this process greatly. As the meditator uses
this body-wide Intent of perpetual raising, towards higher and higher
levels of consciousness, they eventually come to a major spiritual
threshold. This is a level
where, both the body and the world are directly
perceived, (Seen) in a state of Unity. In this state the universality of consciousness is REALIZED.
Another way of saying this is that the body and the planet as a
whole, are perceived as group minds.
From this realization of “unity consciousness”, another fact
becomes apparent. We See
that there exists an interface between the self and the World.
This interface is psychic in nature, and functions as a two way,
mutual feedback-loop from the environment to the individual, and from
the individual to the environment.
To observe and to objectively know this interface is to REALIZE
the natural principle of Karma, and its continuous functioning.
Thus we come to know the deep meaning of cause and effect.
We learn that the human being is both causing world and personal
events, and is in turn effected by these in profound ways.
When we employ the Intent of perpetual raising, (of
consciousness) both within the body/soul and externally in the World
Mind, we are then involved in CREATING
SPIRITUAL CAUSE, for the welfare of all beings.
This is also known as “improving ones’ karma”. When we
Intentionally radiate progressive states of consciousness to the world,
we become analogous to “spiritual transmitters” of love and clarity.
The following table makes this more clear, through an analogy of
the human nervous system to radio propagation;
The employment of the Intent of perpetual raising, also
eventually results in a second major threshold.
Upon reaching this threshold, the practitioner realizes that, the
purpose of all life is the raising of consciousness.
This is the purpose for which we have been cultivated, by the
Earth Mind, (Gaia/local presence of God).
The long biological process of eons has been called evolution by
science, but unlike traditional views, it is clearly NOT a purely
mechanical or chance process. Evolution
is a purposeful process that is still unfolding. Evolution is guided
even now, as it always has been, by the presence of Universal
Consciousness. Physical
systems are merely the reflections of spiritual/natural Law.
It is the spiritual which causes the material, NOT the material
which causes the spiritual. The processes of nature demonstrate
intelligent design, of which we are a part. When we become attuned to
this design, (to natural laws) we may then participate actively in the
process of our own evolution, so long as we hold a spiritual focus. The purpose of life is the raising of consciousness,
of which we are composed. This Universal Aim is not of our own making,
but is a reflection of the Intent of that which is known as God.
It is the Intent of God to Manifest Itself in the highest
possible forms, into the matrix of atoms, everywhere upon the physical
plane. God does this so as to express Itself there, and improve Its
own nature even further. Thus,
we are manifestations of the Intent of God, to evolve Itself through the
agency of matter. Our own
motivation to grow, expand and evolve, is a reflection of the Divine
Intent to do the very same thing. We are an outgrowth of the Evolution of God.
To employ the Intent of perpetual raising, is therefore to act
in accordance with the purposes of natural law.
To put this another way, it is to act in accord with the will of
God to evolve. When we
recognize this Truth, we then become the agents of Divine Intention, and
also catalysts for the furtherance of human evolution.
The acceleration of human consciousness, results also in the
furtherance of the evolution of the Earth Mind/Noosphere, or planetary
consciousness in general. The
Specialization of Intent Within a group Mind Any
group of meditators may make maximum use of their mutual force, by
applying to Natural/Divine law as much as possible.
They will therefore wish to make use of the
Intent of Perpetual Raising, both within the group and individually,
so as to accommodate universal designs.
In so doing they form a collective which acts to support natural
law and Divine Intentions, and can therefore raise their level of
consciousness unimpeded. In
this way, meditators may not only make the best use of consciousness,
but may actually become catalysts for the evolutionary process.
This may be accomplished with a minimum of individual effort,
through the specialization of
Intent within a group. The principle of specialization is a law of
nature, and it allows for maximum efficiency among cooperating
individuals. In the spiritually oriented group mind setting,
specialization implies what might be called “spiritual efficiency”, or “a well employed expenditure of spiritual energy”.
Our own bodies display this natural law of specialization very
eloquently. Thus, specialists within a group mind of meditators may each
employ a singular focus, for the purpose of the expansion of
consciousness. This they
can do for the sake of the collective and everyone within it.
The recommended minimum
number of meditators which should compose such a group, is seven.
Each may specialize in their Intentions, (by employing one of the six focuses
for the expansion of group consciousness) as follows; 1)
To
provide greater personal and group Energy. 2)
To
provide greater personal and group expansion,
(of spiritual Intent) to the fields at large, (manifestation). 3)
To
provide greater personal and group Right
Intent/Action by employing the Intent of perpetual raising. 4)
To
provide greater personal and group vibrational
level, (love). 5)
To
provide greater personal and group right
alignment, (connecting the group to God/Nature). 6)
To
provide greater personal and group clarity.
The
seventh member of the group of meditators, acts as the main focusing
agent for group cohesion and progress.
This individual should be someone capable of coordinating the
group mind and its resulting field influence.
It is they who can aid in the merger of the above six functions,
(clarity, energy, right
alignment, vibration, expansion and right Intent/action) making them
an increasingly effective union of Intentions/participants.
This individual ensures that the group mind is facilitated
smoothly, and who is capable of making recommendations as to how the
group Intent can be progressively improved. With
seven such specialists employing the Intents above for the benefit of
all involved, there is literally no limit to the level of consciousness
which the group may achieve. This is true so long as its members remain
spiritually progressive, without concept of limitation.
Beyond the initial basic minimum of seven meditators, additional
people may join into this collective effort of consciousness raising.
These additional meditators, beyond the minimum recommended number, can
simply choose to participate in one of the seven positions and join in.
Hundreds or thousands of people may thus specialize in their
Intent for the good of the group or groups, and for increasingly
pronounced effects, due to the exponential nature of the group mind
principle. Many such groups of seven or more meditators, can and should
be formed worldwide, so that the Intent of the
planetary raising of consciousness can be exponentially increased.
Such groups may, like the organs of a new and more evolved body,
join the forces of their consciousness into a single, unified whole.
This document is a call for such unity, among all the religions,
philosophies, and other spiritual practices around the world.
Specific ideologies must not be the cause for division among our
kind. Ideological divisions
are entirely artificial in nature, and are the product of human thought
alone. The fact of our
essential unity as conscious beings, must form the basis for true social
understanding and progress. This
unity of human bodies, minds, and souls is based upon consciousness.
As each individual and group tunes their consciousness to the
Cosmic Intent of the Evolutionary Plan, (natural laws) all ideological
and political divisions will be seen for what they are…illusion. Powerful
psychic “areas of effect” may be generated by groups, (areas of
love, clarity, raised energy, greater Divine influence, etc.).
These may be formed throughout a given room, household,
neighborhood, city, region, nation or most ideally, the entire world.
Any group of meditators may join together the influence of their
mutual Intention, for the purpose of enhancing world wide enlightenment.
Rightly focused Intent can bring forth spiritual
“manifestations” or “psychic areas of effect”.
Large-scale regions of love and clarity, like the clouds of a
cleansing storm, can be manifested through group Intent, in order to
transform human consciousness on a planetary level, (World and Earth
Minds). In this way, high
spiritual Intentions can cover the globe, and render profound
evolutionary influence upon every being of this planet
The current World Mind of humanity is currently permeated with
Intent elements of pain and fear, and in a way similar to the manner in
which these can permeate a given physical body. We have within our power
the ability to transform this planetary fear, pain and confusion. World
Mind transformation may progressively occur, when groups of spiritually
focused individuals use the four steps for the manifestation of Intent
above, (see Part 2) This
process resembles the transformation of fear into love within a given
meditators’ body. Personal experiences in the transformation of Intent in the
body therefore, serve as spiritual training for the transformation of
Intent in the planetary body to which we belong.
Through such knowledge, the spiritual practitioner may transform
their lives and ultimately the world at large, via the Intent of
perpetual raising body-wide and planet-wide. This is the Intent employed
by the Master, and it is the one necessary to change the course of
society at the most fundamental level.
This most fundamental level of existence is Intent
Itself. When
we add together the force of our spiritual Intentions within a group
mind, they are exponentially and mutually elevated.
But when we also SPECIALIZE our Intentions mutually, for the good
of the group we are in, this increases the group mind force even more.
We may again look to the human body as the perfect analogy for
this principle. Our bodies
are composed of billions of cells, and although each one shares the same
basic features, they do not all perform the same task.
The various organs are specialized groups of cells and tissues,
performing specific functions for the rest of the body. The heart
unifies the body and delivers life-giving sustenance to all other cells,
the eyes provide sight, and the vocal cords, speech.
The legs provide motion, the arms and hands dexterity in the
handling of objects, the liver cleans the blood, and the brain
coordinates the body. Every part of the body is specialized in order to
provide maximum benefit and capability to our physiology as a whole,
making the human form exceedingly capable in a variety of ways.
This fact is no accident, and is a reflection of Natural/Divine
order in evolution. Each
specializing organ and tissue is extremely valuable to the body for one
primary reason, and that is, when one area performs a needed function
for all, the rest are freed to excel in their given tasks without
distraction. The same is
true of the social insects, wolf packs, monkey troops, and human
organizations such as companies, think tanks, family groups,
relationships and friendships. It
is also true of Intentionally formed group minds, who act in unity to
form, “a body of spiritual Intention”. The
World Mind of humanity, (planetary group mind) is currently permeated
with fear, stress and discord as a result of unnatural Intent.
A perfect example of unnatural and therefore destructive Intent,
is one which values material accumulation beyond all other
considerations. Materialism
is an ideology which operates under the assumption, that there is
nothing more valuable in life than physical possessions.
This is a false assumption, and is therefore not in accord with
natural law and the purposes of evolution.
It is through such Intentions as those which underlie
materialism, (greed for instance) that world consciousness has been
degraded and made more chaotic. Those who work for the upliftment of
humanity through the holding of love and other positive Intentions, are
doing much to offset this current global chaos.
But we can all do much more to contribute to the upliftment of the global
Intent. Just as we can
render positive influences within a group of persons at work, at home
and particularly in a meditational setting, so too can we render direct,
positive influences upon the World Mind. This can be done on a
psychic/unified field basis. The body of humanity to which we currently
belong, must be reoriented to an Intent of love rather than fear,
clarity rather than confusion, and spiritual Intent rather than the
Intent to make a profit.. We
have within our power as a collective of conscious beings, the capacity
to change all of these trends, (Intents) all over the world, just as we
can change them within. To
accomplish this transformation we can see each other as cells within a
great body. We can come
together via the group mind principle of nature, to form what is
analogous to organs, in each meditational/prayer group that is thus
formed. These groups must
be formed without delay, to augment the efforts of those meditation and
prayer (organ)izations already in existence.
Many such groups can come together to form a new kind of body for
humanity, based upon the Intent to spiritually progress, and to evolve
ourselves into higher and higher levels of consciousness, as a species.
When more and more cells, (conscious individuals) within the body
of humanity join together, to
form a genuinely more perfect union, we may then actively guide
a new world into being. This
new world need not have anything to do with dictatorial governments,
armies, prisons, profit margins or ethnic conflicts. This new humanity
can rise above all of the old assumptions about money and social power,
to realize that there is only one power worth serving.
That power is God/Nature. There
is only one method that can most effectively bring about change.
That method is cooperation.
There is only one primary avenue for returning ourselves to a
social union that is in alignment with Nature, God and Natural Law.
This avenue is the expansion of individual and planetary
consciousness. No other
type of reform, be it political, social, economic or intellectual can
ultimately remedy the modern crisis, because any system runs only so
well as the consciousness of its leaders.
No matter how well constructed national constitutions, government
agencies or religious organizations may be, it is the consciousness of
their adherents which will eventually determine the success of any
social cause. Let
us make every effort then to unite the force of our spiritual Intentions
to expand consciousness. Through such efforts we may indeed bring about
a greater quality of living for ourselves, and a new era for humanity.
The six modes of consciousness expansion, provide a framework for
this effort. All six, (clarity, energy, vibration, right alignment, expansion and right
intent/action) can each be mastered to greater and greater degrees,
by each and every person. This
will inevitably require a significant degree of self application to such
ideals, and to these six focuses, but it can be done.
Some recommended methods to increase each of these six Intentions
within the self and also within others, are given soon hereafter. You are asked to practice these and other techniques for the
expansion of consciousness, so that your individual contribution to the
collective effort of humanity will be all the more potent.
You
are also asked at this point to make a decision as to how you want to
contribute your spiritual Intention to the general good.
There are seven basic options for you to choose from. These seven are merely suggestions for meditative/prayerful
focus. They provide an
orientation as to how we may each specialize our Intentions for the good
of our group(s) and for the good of the World Mind. Picking a
specialized spiritual focus in this way, may be compared to fulfilling
the specialized positions of any team.
As with a company or a team sport, specialists allow the smooth
and efficient functioning of the organization as a single unit.
This makes the cooperative effort extremely strong, as in the
case of the various organs within our own bodies.
Begin thinking about the
one you are initially most comfortable with, from the following list; 1)
THE
GENERATOR;
(energy gaining) This specialist within the group mind draws
environmental energy, or chi, into the group for the purpose of
empowering themselves and all other members with “spiritual fuel”.
Many persons into martial arts, Kundalini Yoga, Tai Chi,
Wicca/Druidism and others, will probably have some experiential
knowledge of “drawing energy” or “chi”, already. 2)
THE
MANIFESTOR;
(expansion) This specialist within the group mind expands the
group-generated state of consciousness outward to the world at large.
They provide for “psychic outreach”, and act to spread love,
clarity and other spiritual qualities planet-wide. Everyone has
projected emotional energy, (love for instance) and Intent, innumerable
times in their lives to others. These
experiences serve as the groundwork for a greater mastery of the
expansion function. 3)
THE
MOTIVATOR;
(right Intent/right action) This specialist within the group mind
provides the will to progress, and the sheer momentum to spiritually
advance for all involved. They
are the “will to succeed” and the “morale boosting, motivating
element” within our collective. All
people employ the will to succeed with their goals.
When this will is turned to unceasing spiritual progress, they
are then using “right Intent”. 4)
THE
PURIFIER; (vibration) This specialist within the group mind, provides
higher and higher vibrational levels for our collective. Through the projection or radiation of love to all in the
group, this individual unites the general Intention in the context of
greater and greater, “high feelings”.
All people have experienced love at some time in their lives and
to varying degrees of intensity. When
we learn about Intent, we find that love can be, “Intended
into place” to higher and higher degrees. 5)
THE
CHANNELER; (right alignment) This specialist within the group mind
establishes a conduit to Divine/Natural influence, for the collective
meditation. To do this they
may choose to establish a stronger psychic link with the Earthmind, God,
Masters, and/or Highly spiritual Entities of all kinds.
Those who have ever prayed and/or received Divine guidance,
understand right alignment to some degree.
A study of Intent reveals that we can Intend
into place progressively greater degrees of Divine rapport, soulic
rapport, and communion with nature/natural law.
The channeler is so named because they enhance within the group
mind, the presence of Divine organization and influence.
In essence, they “channel God” for the sake of group benefit. 6)
THE
VISIONARY; (clarity) This specialist within the group mind, adds the
aspect of consciousness expansion known as clarity to the meditative
union. This individual enhances what might be called, “greater self
awareness” providing increasing insight into Truth, the true self and
the direction of evolution. Greater
clarity is achieved through an
awareness of awareness focus, or in other words, ones’ own
awareness turning back upon itself.
When this occurs personally, we gain insight into our true selves
as souls/consciousness. When
this occurs at a group level, every participant in the group mind gains
greater insight into the subtleties of group consciousness.
7)
THE
GUIDE; (field coordinator) This specialist within the group mind,
should ideally be one who is able to perform all of the above functions,
and who is familiar with the process of consciousness expansion. This
individual enhances the group cohesiveness, progressiveness and
spiritual purpose, (welfare of all).
The field coordinator acts to catalyze greater group cohesion,
and offers support to any of the other specialists in their specific
tasks. This does not place
the field coordinator or guide in the position of a “leader”, but
rather, advisor and facilitator only. Matthew Webb
