Some of these questions were submitted by e-mail, others were added to help explain what is occurring.
Q: Why is there so much evil in the world?
A: The real question at this historical juncture, is why there is
nothing but evil in the world. All human history has proceeded by what I call
the lower dharma, which is a reaction to the senses seeking dualistic
(comparative) gain. The humans are rooted in foundational dualities, like
exchange and family, which no one questions. The lower dharma is material, and
the higher dharma is spiritual. The higher dharma can only be discussed, or
implemented, by people who have a direct spiritual perception, which means an
ability to perceive the intrinsic or abiding personality traits of others, and
an ability to support the joy of spirit according to its innermost properties.
The religions are shallow, and the gurus
are greedy. None comes near the higher dharma. Among many people competent in
this dharma, a mutual ecstatic field can be supported, never broken by
negativity, including in the regions of thought. The gentle angels dwelling
among humanity, currently in isolation, are competent to dwell in the higher
dharma. They know at most five percent of their power, because the humans with
egos around them, drag everything down to exactly their level, with no response
to the warmth of a more public approach to living. The purpose of this website
is to flesh out a little what the higher dharma would be like in practice, to
the powerful souls who experience it.
Q: What are these people like?
A: This is probably the most difficult juncture in human history.
As Swedenborg wrote, when angels dwell among men it is as if they are conjoined.
The angel must think like a man and react like a man, to survive among the egoic
humans. The awakening from this state is liable to be slow and long, because
myriad mental forms to which they are accustomed must be rearranged, until they
see by the light of spirit instead of the darkness of the senses, again.
Like many today, we believe a Judgment is
coming. Our belief is different from the others, in that we expect God's wrath
to be poured down upon men to preserve this planet, not to whisk them away to a
"different solution." Despite what Jesus said about only the Father
knowing the time of Judgment, these people would know about this secretly, in
the depths of consciousness, though not necessarily on the surface. From this
they will know the right times to act, to achieve everything required of us at
this time.
This next part is difficult, but probably
the quickest way to the heart of an angel in the world today. In conjunction
with the Holy Spirit's power, the angels have used their advanced personalities
to exert force upon human culture, through popular stardom. Their greatest
influence was when cinema was new, where they poured out their creativity to
create the so-called golden age. Today the female angels have been rejected or
marginalized from the film industry, but there are a few male angels still very
popular, and having an effect on the human self-image, which helps to create
order in society.
Another angel would recognize these figures
are more than human, but the egoic humans would reject the idea with contumely.
This is like the mother of all conspiracy theories, so pay attention. It is
really important. I'm saying that the world's greatest gurus and preachers, are
as nothing beside some stellar personalities, who have used the angelic charm
and majesty to gain roles in movies. These are the greatest religious figures,
and also the greatest authorities on spiritual matters, although they have not
awakened this knowledge within themselves. They live in the higher dharma, with
beautiful vocal tones, the perfectly inoffensive personality devoid of every
evil inclination, and their personalities prove they are masters of spiritual
knowledge. They could not speak openly, for fear of retribution from the egoic
humans, who are greedy, malevolent, and vain.
I'm only going to mention four of them,
although there are quite a few others. If you can think about these four and
wonder that what I say might be true, that they have a mystery and a majesty to
their personalities which might actually derive from an angelic land, you may be
so qualified, yourself, and it may be time for you to awaken to the fact. I call
them the "fantastic four," since they were at the heart of a higher
form of entertainment, which brought out the ecstatic qualities of life, which
is the musical. They are Fred Astaire, Cyd Charisse, Gene Kelly and Ann Miller.
If you think they were ordinary, then go your way. If you think they might
instead be otherworldly, there may be more for you to read on this website.
Q: Most people would not take seriously the idea there are angels in Hollywood. Please relate some of your evidence.
A: Angels dwell in a reverse world from humans. First let me
point out it is only a small step from positing that a God can take on a human
body, like the Christians believe about Jesus, to saying that other denizens of
Heaven could take on a body, which are the angels in bodies. The Christians
didn't think of it, but it is a logical extension of their beliefs. The angels
would have the further capacity to bend over backwards from compassion for
humanity, to blend in with them and use advanced psychological techniques to
uplift morality and support goodness, such as the humans can bring.
In the reverse world of the angels, which
is derived from a direct perception of spirit and its qualities, they dwell in
awareness of the universal joy-state, and are able to support a higher ecstatic
life around them. So, watching a movie with Fred, Cyd, Gene or Ann, another
angel would be able to notice they are like a bright spot in a dark sea,
providing comfort and extending joy by sheer power of personality, though
seemingly limited to a script. If these figures make you feel very joyful, and
you wish they had made more movies like they did, you would be sharing in the
angelic hope of bringing ecstasy to humanity.
Listen to their tones of voice, so positive
and beautifully modulated. Look for any signs of negativity or egoism, such as
are omnipresent among the human throng. None can be found, and negativity leaves
a soul by only one route, which is perfection. But most of all perhaps, dream
about spending time in the company of that person. Would you regard that to be
thrilling, to live in a community with Fred or Cyd, seeing them every day? The
angels are thrilled by the divine personality, which they go on extending to
eternity. They have inner morality, and go on building the personality for
eternity, as an underlying project of life. From this and from appreciation of
one another's nobility and grace, they love companionship, in work or play,
every day.
Q: You talk about a commune, which is one of the most hated and frightening topics, today.
A: This is the hard leap an angel would have to make, to be of
use at the Second Coming mentioned by Swedenborg, who also spoke of this, ahead
of us. Powerful souls are cramped in the family. They have the capacity to form
warm mental models of the traits of hundreds or thousands of other individuals,
and in the arrangement of families occurring at the human level, their powers
are underutilized, making it difficult for them.
Humans have to their credit exactly zero
successful communal efforts. This was explained in the Bible by saying humans
are cantankerous, born to trouble as the sparks fly upward. Humans create
conflict, just to feel themselves different. Without a vision of the universal
joy-state, and failing to rejoice at the joy of another, they find no basis for
cooperation or harmony. The angels by contrast love harmony, and know how tough
it is to build and maintain. The angels are also not repressed, having great
energies. Humans only gain a good appearance by repressing negative states;
angels have no such states to repress.
The beginning is in some ways the hardest
part of any movement. We don't have even a small group at which to point and
say, "Look, it is working here." This website was thus developed as a
way to explore that space, before there are people ready to dwell in it. The
stories are intended to be like a new kind of novel, the first
"entertainment beyond violence," where a sympathetic person would feel
at least a few echoes, that he has those potencies and longs to enter a Noble
Society, unlike what has been seen on the Earth before. The intent was not to
cover every base and explain every contingency, but to show creatively some of
the flavor, of what a noble person would be like, and report about his
community.
Q: Is there a central "key," to quickly understand what you are about?
A: Yes. We think the central attribute which would allow angels
to choose and dwell in a commune rather than an isolated family dwelling, is an
ability to rejoice at the joy of another. You see another joyful person, and you
want to surround them with layers of security, to enhance that state and
experience further bliss if possible. From this perception a new type of
personality arises, that can be called pure or selfless. It gives you motivation
to work without money or prestige, and when all members of the community think
similarly, all basic needs of everyone are met readily and happily.
If you rejoice at the joy of another, then
you like spending time in close proximity to them, day in and day out. You don't
need to create a negative drama in the senses, because the usual state is
already thrilling to you. We insist that asparshana, or non-touching, must be a
central rule of a commune. The love which exists must be spiritual, and that's
the dropping-off place, for the humans. To dwell in such an advanced community,
you have to be prepared to bathe in your own heart's love for the universal
joy-state (the good of all spirit), because you won't find any exchanges there,
and everyone's love is for the nonphysical. A person who can consider living
like this, needs a vision of the personalities of the others as real and
complex, even wonderful and beautiful; this is where his heart attends.
Q: I feel qualms about considering myself an angel. Isn't that prideful?
A: The reason the angels have these qualms is for
self-protection, for to mention you are an angel to a human, would bring
immediate and deadly persecution. Yet we have found it impossible to discuss the
higher traits required for a Noble Society, without mentioning the fact of
angelic embodiments, since there is no other explanation for such radical
differences in perception and action, between selfless vs. selfish individuals,
non-egoic vs. egoic, unified vs. fragmented. If the angels notice their
differences, they too will not have a ready explanation, unless a heavenly
origin is cited.
This is a really hard area to consider,
since in most future scenarios we envision, someone walking around believing
openly he is an angel, would be persecuted by humans. Possibly other unusual
groups may arise, such as Scientology, to make such ideas seem more tolerable to
humans. The most logical plan we have come up with under current parameters, is
for "plausible deniability," where the people who gather say they
believe in angelic embodiment, but they do not all claim to be embodied angels.
But for this plan to work, they'd be acting exactly like angels, but still
saying they are humans, which is illogical once the properties of each class are
established.
Remember too the angelic perfection is
mainly seen in a social setting. The "mask" they put on to exist
around humans is a profound one, where they may even feel angry like a human and
make mistakes like a human. They may feel totally cut off from any idea their
personality is secretly advanced or noble. Unfortunately the awakening must come
from within, as the core of spirit in each angel alerts them to something of
their identity, and that it is now time to act. No one individual can come with
all the answers, because building a society is extraordinarily complex. The
angels must take off their masks according to a predetermined plan, and this
website may at first appear to them like a kind of twilight, a shred of hope but
not very brilliant.
You won't know what you can achieve, until you
try something. Maybe your presence would be helpful, maybe you won't like it.
Without noble others around, how can you bring out your own nobility? And if you
don't bring out your own nobility, how can others bring out theirs? This is our
current conundrum, but maybe you should feel a little prideful of your
love-power, that you think you could help achieve a society without violence or
hatred. Maybe you have a selfless urge that is unexplored, that is not like what
you see in those around you. Maybe you have the potencies, but are unwilling to
test them. What's the harm, if you think you have ecstatic love? We need
physical security, before this love can flow, and what better use for it than
supporting our good friends?
