By James Bean ![]() An enormous cosmos is out there; many voices trying to convince us of the merits of their path, and the merits of their destination. Many yogas. Many meditations. Many breaths. Many lives. Many lights in dark matter skies below yet more dark skies. Many caught in dreams of separation. Many asleep who have forgotten who they were before time began, who they still are, Truth be told. A dis-incarnate channeled spirit is not a worthy guide, having never been in the human form, and may not even have much love for humanity. Biological infestation are we? A dis-incarnate spirit is impossible to know. One has only words to go by. Many avatars attempt to vacuum up souls with words, taking them to various realms of astral, causal, mental or etheric. Why not say ‘no’ to being In ‘The Flow’ if it really means being psychically scattered in a thousand directions? There’s a great white brotherhood in the Himalayas with no forwarding address. Misdirected perception is another name for the work of an Archon (Greek for ruler), a Demiurge (false god), a Kal Niranjan (lord of time), a Collector of the Energy of Souls. Never mind levitating the table or haunted whispering astral voices captured on graveyard magnetic tape. Stay on the Path. Meditate. Simran. There’s religion for every chakra, and a religion for every realm of creation. Materialists proclaim, “This is all there is.” An astral guide can never guide one beyond the astral. Astrals take souls to that realm saying, “You’ve made it,” a last-ditch effort to fool us into prematurely thinking we’re enlightened and have escaped from the matrix while remaining inside the matrix. Worshippers of “Universal Mind” believe they have created the highest reality. But it is no longer a prison when we are free to leave. Moving beyond the soul-neglected state of God-denial and all the spiritual poverty thereof, The Atman Project... With a living teacher-who has-a-body (not a holy scripture or cuneiform tablet), one has the potential opportunity to evaluate, if they are genuine or fraud – a monster, or the em-body-ment of Love and Compassion from Above, a Light appearing to us in the darkness of contemplation. Zoroaster had a body. Enoch had a body. Moses had a body. Lord Mahavira had a body. Buddha had a body. Christ had a body. Valentinus had a body. Bal Shem Tov had a body. Shams had a body. Rumi had a body. Hafiz had a body. Nanak had a body. Kabir had a body. Dharam Das had a body. Gobind Singh had a body. Paltu had a body. Dariya had a body. Tulsi had a body. Shiv Dayal had a body. Living Ones, not held captive by centuries long gone by, also have bodies today, here, now, in the living present. Somewhere close by through perhaps Unseen, Unknown, there is path about you, about me – the Path of the Soul – “The Pearl”, and the Lord of All Souls – The Ocean of Love. One asleep awakens nobody. Master-souls incarnate into the human form, not because of karmic debt and attachment, but out of Compassion, to summon us to awakening. They ask, “Do you remember?” They show us a passage by which we may find our way back, riding the Holy Stream of Light-Sound, the Audible Life-stream, the Tao or Logos that was with us “In the beginning,” before time came to be. As Kabir says, “You have slept for millions of years. This morning, will you not wake” Astral travelers stay astrally confined. Soul travelers passing through inner regions, ascend through a long tunnel, with the Grace of the Audible Light Stream, the Positive Power. Beyond the material plane, beyond the astral, beyond the causal akashic, beyond the mental plane, is the Timeless Realm. “God-beyond-god.” This is the Place of Life, the Point of Origin. We never left Home, only our attention. We still are. Our true identity remains soul. This is the Path of Remembrance. When the drop returns to Oneness with The Ocean, all form will disappear into Formlessness. We become what we focus our soul-attention upon. If we should happen to dwell upon The Absolute...
