An Article by Doug Esse

The following is an edited version of an email exchange between Jim McCarty of L/L Research and myself.  This is a reflection I provided based upon his good comments and dialog about my article called, “A Christmas Message for the Seeker Community: Allowing Logoic Love to Enter and Transform.”

Good morning, Brother Jim!

.

Thank you for taking the time to read the article and for your comments in the email!  The following are just my opinions.  None of this will be new to you, of course. In our third density condition, we have some quite interesting things going on. Namely:

.

.

So, in such a condition of really strong swirling distorted thought complexes that “infect [our] peoples” (session 3.6), there is a really good and effective  way to break through such a jungle of thoughtforms.  It is not the only way, but to my way of thinking, it is the most efficient and effective way.  That way is through the modality of relationships; not just relationships between people but a personal relationship with the Logos, Itself. 

.

From earth’s third density perspective, to be able to come to a religious/spiritual intuition that one could actually have a personal relationship with the Logos, Itself, is quite remarkable and novel.  It took God thousands of years of slowly revealing Godself to humanity and then for humanity to accept God as merciful, benevolent, loving, forgiving, and in solidarity with us. Like a child slowly growing in the ability to think more maturely, humanity slowly awakened from dualistic tribal thinking to a more nondualistic global seeing.  The latter is just now opening up upon the scene with the new waves of fourth density consciousness pulling us every deeper into love.

.

No way that this knowledge could just be handed down in philosophy… it had to be revealed. And revealed slowly enough so that this relational dynamic could be inculturated and normalized into collective rituals that positioned God and humanity as an I-Thou.  Yes, the Orion Empire took advantage of this slow revelation and according the Ra group, inserted themselves right into the middle of the dance. They pretended to be Yahweh and used Earth humanity’s dualistic, tribalistic, distorted thinking which was normal at that time to their advantage (session 16.19).  The confused humans were unaware of what was happening from their perspective.

.

The Confederation Yahweh tried to counteract the false Yahweh’s (Orion) actions and as the Ra group alludes to, an intense game of chess began to take place between the Orion Empire and the Confederation Yahweh group. Each side tried to seduce the minds of the people to follow either the positive path or the negative path.  However, the maneuvering back and forth was actually the movements of a larger dance to which the Logos, Itself, was overseeing. 

.

The intimate I-Thou relationship between God and a people has always been the lovely Jewish revelation and all of Ra’s sharing of the esoterics of how this all happened with the positive Yahweh and the Orion influence all played a part.  It is my opinion that the Council of Saturn, on behalf of the Logos, knew that there was a giant metanarrative unfolding in which Ra, Yahweh, Orion, and the Confederation all had starring roles. The metanarrative would be the slow revelation to Earth’s humanity to reveal the Logos as not only completely one with us but is intimately personal. This slow revelation can be seen in the whole Bible, which includes both the Hebrew Scriptures and the Christian Testament.  You see, taken together, we see that the Bible follows the exact mental, emotional, and spiritual development of the individual person.

.

Psychology, studies in spirituality, anthropology, and archaeology all show in their own ways that the growth and development of the human person always unfolds in stages; and the pattern of this unfolding is a “getting it, and then losing it.”  In other words, we grow by a breaking into new consciousness…which is like taking three steps forward, and then we regress at times because the new conscious awareness isn’t fully anchored in yet. That’s like taking two steps back.  Therefore, the pattern of growth for the human person looks like this:

.

.

Each time we take two steps back, it feels like we’ve lost all of our previous progress, but this is not the case.  Instead, the two steps back actually deepens the progress made, anchoring it more solidly down and in, so that it creates a strong foundation for the next thrusting forward into even more expansive conscious awareness.  Over time, we do make progress and how this appears in the human person is the movement from dualistic consciousness of the child to nondualistic consciousness of the sage and crone.

.

Exactly in the same way, the Bible shows a whole people who get it and then loose it.  Just take Genesis, chapter one, where God created everything and called it good.  This is like a child who is born into a loving family and deeply learns that they are good, welcomed here, and loved.  But then by Genesis, chapter three, we see the breaking in of the Serpent and the subsequent expulsion of Adam and Eve from the garden.  Ouch!

.

What happened to our loving God who created us as good? Why would God be wrathful? Well, from a micro viewpoint, this is the beginning of a child’s age of reason around five to seven years old.  Brain studies show that this is when there is a marked surge in neuronal development and the child begins to engage with the world for the first time in dualistic consciousness.  Things are black and white, good and bad, either/or, and this is how it must be for the child to make sense of the world. Yet, there is what feels like a loosing for them as they begin to emerge from innocence, naivete, and a primordial nondual consciousness that has not yet encountered the ethos of separation inherent in third density conditions. Children, like the Prodigal Son, have to leave “home” in order to return later replete with experience and wisdom.

.

The Bible taken as a whole shows this same pattern at the macro level where God seems wrathful, smiting, and indeed completely Almighty on one end and then finally, fully revealed not only as loving and intimate, but fully vulnerable (as exemplified by the Crucifixion).  If ever the Bible was an inspired work, it is this: the text exactly follows the cosmic law of As Above, So Below.  As a whole people moves through their development of getting it and losing it while ever crawling forward, the whole person moves forward with the same pattern.  This is why I am saying that all of the esoterics of the behind-the-scenes cosmic chess game between the Confederation Yahweh and the Orion Empire was actually part of the whole thousands-of-years plan of the Logos to break in and fully reveal Itself to humanity.  What a gesture of love! By the time Jesus entered the scene, much ground work had been laid over thousands of years. This may be why Jesus said:

.

“Blessed are your eyes, because they see; and your ears, because they hear. For truly I say to you, that many prophets and righteous men desired to see what you see, and did not see it; and to hear what you hear, and did not hear it” (Matthew 13:16-17).”

.

And Peter writes, “…even angels longed to look into these things” (1Peter 1:12).

.

But just repeating the fact that God is one with us and we are one with God can still be a head trip.  To really know this (gnosis) on a lived experiential level, Earth’s third-density humanity seemed to need some sort of affective emotional resonance so that the truth of our union enters us at the level of interaction, encounter, and relationship.  That’s one of the things that I think Christianity has contributed to the world’s spiritual landscape because it continued the Jewish saga of the Logos breaking into Earth’s humanity collective heart, first through the Yahweh group, and then most fully revealed through the Jesus Event. Jesus never intended to start his own religion. He thought he was reforming Judaism. This is why we call the whole thing, “Judeo-Christian,” because the two are not separate but rather one long love poem freely given to Earth’s humanity.

.

The “I-Thou,” of the Jewish revelation was nuanced into an  “‘I-Thou’  Contained Inside the Great ‘I AM'” with the continuation of the revelation installed by the Jesus Event.  That is, we can have a relationship with this One Infinite Creator that is extraordinarily personal and intimate and through this relationship, awaken to the divinity of everything (Ra’s session 10:14). From that point, we enjoy the journey with more ease because we deeply intuit that it is all contained in a coherence, despite the great number of players involved (cosmic populace of beings and their differing moral polarities). This amazing revelation would not be a new philosophy nor theology but rather a lived experience. This was new on the scene of Earth’s humanity.

.

.

How did we get to from an I-Thou (Subject-to-Object) to a Subject-to-Subject love affair?  Humanity needed a living icon, a touchstone, that would ground this whole divine self-revelation into the concrete, historical, and personal. This touchstone would be just the thing to reach into the hearts of the Earth’s humanity in a way that would penetrate the mass confusion here. In my humble opinion, this metanarrative to fully reveal the divine self to Earth’s third density population with all of its chaotic uniqueness was the living “message” that Jesus the entity became aware that he was  when he realized that, in Ra’s words, he was “not to be an entity of itself but a messenger of the One Infinite Creator…”. To use my words, Jesus was a living insertion point wherein the fullness of the Logos could come face to face with Itself in third density (ref. session 17.22).  Q’uo seems to echo this when they said that Jesus sacrificed an incarnation to “become the Logos” so that the Earth’s third density and the Logos, “…perceiving each other, should react—the third density with a lack of understanding, and the [Logos] with wonder, joy and sacrifice.” Yet, through the relational aspects of this Face-to-Face, Subject-to-Subject encounter, Earth’s humanity could finally begin to understand its inherent sacredness.  We began to awaken to love that somehow is transmitted through relationship like a wildfire spreading out concentrically from the epicenter of the Jesus Event.

.

Yahweh, Ra says, means “He Comes.” But why “He?”  Why the masculine pronoun?  In my opinion, it is because “come into”, “move towards,” “initiate”…all of those actions bespeak of the masculine principle. But if there is One who is coming, then there must be One who will receive.  In fact, “He Comes” is actually a relational term suggesting movement from one person to another. We are the one who receives, and so, our “We Receive,” is our participation of the feminine principle.

.

The “He Comes” part of the metanarrative prepared humanity after a few thousand years to be able to grasp how “Yahweh Saves,” which is what “Jehoshua” means.  Put together, “Jehoshua” means,  “He Comes and Rescues.”  So now we have a concept that the divine is breaking into our experience and rescuing us.  But rescuing us from what?  Well, the third-density repeater psychology sure does emphasize the ethos of separation.  We are rescued from the grips of this repeater psychology by allowing our hearts to be inflamed with love through the modality of relationship, especially in relationship with the Logos, Who comes and rescues.  Once heart-seeing happens, then we can awaken to our own inherent divinity and eventually this can lead to full enlightenment.  But surely, the Logos’ metanarrative plan prioritizes (if I could use that misnomer 🙂 ) helping Earth’s third density humanity to graduate or harvest in a way that would be most effective. As we said before, that would be through the means of relationship.

.

It takes our desiring to want to house Jesus in our hearts and that’s why I am saying that we use our masculine principle of will to “muscle” open our receiving through humble surrender.  How do we get to this kind of vulnerability?  That seems to be when we’ve prepared ourselves through realizing that our trudging through life thrusted by the lower-chakra triad just isn’t working for us anymore.  As those who are in programs such as Alcoholics Anonymous know, the first step is to admit that we are powerless in some way.  This admitting of powerlessness doesn’t have to be from a place of pain, though.  It can come from a breaking open by love when we “fall down” in awe of the majesty of it all. Great love and great suffering are needed to break open the egoic grip of our false selves so that we can fall down and into our true selves.

.

.

This would be another way of describing how asking Jesus to come into our hearts breaks the bonds/chains of the ethos of separation–which, by the way, is another way to say, “sin.”  Love awakens us to union and “sin”–or the ethos of separation–keeps our lenses of perception focused on division. When we act from this ethos of separation, we go against the flow of participative union and this leads to furthering the ethos of separation in some way.  Love unites, “sin” separates.

.

We don’t need to moralize “sin” too much as we have done for far too long.  The Christian lens of sin, if we follow the trajectory of Jesus’ life, gives us a new meaning of the “two steps back.”  If we have listened to our life well, that is, when we become aware of how karma unfolds in our life, then we can learn that both the fall and the recovery of the fall are the mercy and grace inherent to learning the lessons of love  contained within the Divine Creator.  We fall and we recover better than ever, we die our little deaths and we rise into new ways of seeing and living. All death leads to transformation. This is the ultimate meaning of the Cross, actually. Death leads to life, or to put it as the Ra group said, “…cross indicates that nature of manifestation which may only be valued by the losing [“dying”]. Thus the crux ansata [ankh] is intended to be seen as an image of the eternal in and through manifestation and beyond manifestation through the sacrifice and transformation of that which is manifest.” Sin–or our participation in the energetics of separation–is actually a key ingredient in our learning the lessons of love. In third density, learning to love looks a lot like acceptance and forgiveness which ultimately depends upon our ability to become humble.  See here a wonderful meditation by Thomas Keating taken from Richard Rohr’s daily meditation:

________________

[Humility] is a great subject because it is the most fundamental religious disposition. It undergirds the stages of the spiritual journey. It gets deeper as we go along. Humiliation is [a] way to humility. So you have to admit to God and at least one other person the exact nature of your wrongdoing [“sin”]. . . . You lose the sense of shame and you gain more and more inner freedom. The point may come when you actually love your weaknesses and faults because they keep you humble. The feelings of shame and humiliation give way to a loving acceptance of the truth and a complete trust in God’s infinite mercy. . . . We’re not asking anybody to think that we are good, because now we see that whatever good we have comes from God. We don’t deny that we have this basic goodness, but we acknowledge that we have made a mess of our lives . . . and that God is healing us. Instead of grieving because of our sins, we realize that God has used them for our great benefit. . . .

.

Humility is the truth. That is to say, humility is the capacity to accept whatever happens, peacefully. Then you can decide whether God is calling you simply to accept the situation, or to do something to improve or correct it. Humility is a constant and permanent disposition that puts one in tune with the universe and with whatever is happening in the present moment. . . .

.

We know that whatever happens, the love of God is always with us and that [God] will turn even our failures into perfect love. [2]

.

When we accept what is, letting go of our hope for a different or better past, we are led into a much greater freedom. And as long as there is accountability and forgiveness as part of the process, healing will almost inevitably follow.”

So how do we get from knowing as fact that the Logos is Love to knowing as our lived reality that the Logos is Love?

.

“Logos” as Love [2nd primal distortion], or the “Universal Christ,” or “Creator” is always and everywhere present but too big and abstract a concept for Earth humanity to grasp given our development. It would remain in the realm of ideas and thoughts, and not lead to transformation of the type that could help humanity harvest to fourth density.  So a new concept, fashioned out of the cosmic headwaters and given a pronunciation that “[has] power before time and space and represent configurations of light which built all that there is,” (74.17) was given to humanity that would be an access point–like a password–that would unlock the fullness of the Creator into the realm of the particular and individual.  That singular access point, this novel concept complex, was called “Jehoshua,” and that was the “message” that the entity known to us as Jesus delivered and installed into our third density repeater matrix.

.

That may be why, “Jesus, come into my heart,” is so efficacious  for so many people when they have prepared for it internally. In a real sense, we are freely given access to the fullness of the Logos-as-Love within our hearts through the new cosmic principle of “Jehoshua,” which means something like, “The Whole Logos Comes To You Packaged In One Divine ‘Zip File’.” Once that file is in place in the heart, you can spend the rest of your life unlocking it and exploring exactly how the moment contains love.  It won’t be a head trip or just a nice statement from Ra (10.14). In truth, it is more like a zip-file installed in our hearts that help you and me awaken to what we already are. Our job as incarnated sub-sub-logoi is to become fully human! The Christ-Mystery shows us that the journey can be a full heart-felt, affective, discovery.

.

The only response to this kind of ongoing discovery is deep thankfulness for all of it: the Logos, you and I as the Logos on this side of the veil, the awakening process, the catalysts, and for the veil, itself.   Finally, the ultimate experience which is profoundly affective is deep joy.

.

A search for “joy” in the Ra material and you’ll find that it always involves relationship, companionship, and the delight of being in union.  Deep resounding Joy and Peace is how Logos-as-Love experiences Itself through creation.   This is why Ra (and good Christian liturgy) often end their sessions with , “…we leave you in the joy and peace of the One Infinite Creator.” This harkens to Paul’s letter to the Philippians 4:1: “…The peace of God [One Infinite Creator] which surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.”  Again, to put together “Jesus Christ” is to put together the Particular and Universal in one concept complex and then welcome it right into our very being.

.

.

Yay for the Great Mystery of Unity and our participation in It!
