Founder, Dr. Masters’ Weekly Mystical Insights

From traditional and fundamentalist dogma to metaphysical speculations, the basic belief has been that the Power of God can intervene in human affairs to somehow provide people with what they believe they need. A very large percentage of any organized or even non-organized religion has had such a belief as the foundation of its existence. In the most basic of terms, most human beings are attracted to some form of religion based on what they believe the religion can do for them in their present physical lives and as some assurance of a good experience in any afterlife. In effect, the religion—at least in a follower’s mind—acts as an intermediary between the follower and God. Reduced to its simplest description, people become part of a religion with the thought that through the religion of their choice, God will grant them their desires or prayers in this life and the afterlife.

When humans are very young, they look up to their physical parents to supply their needs. When they become adults—at least numbered in physical years—they turn to God to take over for their physical parents to supply their needs during their physical lifetime and in the life beyond the physical. In traditional religion God is prayed to—that is, asked, pleaded with, or begged—for something to be granted.

As the expression goes, “There is a time and a season for everything.” This very fundamental truth of Universal experience applies to every soul entering or exiting this physical earth dimension. Nothing in this Universe is by chance. Everything and everyone is part of a very integrated and complex Universal Process. Entire species have appeared and disappeared from the earth plane dimension. Everything has its time, or at least, the appearance of it. Everything exists and comes into being in Universal Consciousness or the Mind of God.

There is a larger picture—the Universe—with smaller details in the picture, such as the individual human expression. And yet the larger and the smaller are identical, and therefore everything is interdependent—that is, one could not exist without the other. As the seen universe is always in motion, all of its parts or details or humans are part of a very integrated process. What happens with one of its parts—the human—affects the entire whole, and how it manifests. Each depends on the existence of the other in order to exist.

For more than 2,000 years, there have been two Christianities: the exoteric, or generally accepted one that most people who identify themselves as Christians believe in; and the other one, the one that the Christ Mind in Jesus taught only to the disciples. The teaching that was taught to the disciples, or the esoteric teaching, was the mystical teaching.

In the Infinite Wisdom of the Christ Mind or Universal Consciousness was the recognition that the broad masses of people who incarnate onto this physical earth plane are young souls with a limited capacity of spiritual awareness. Such souls can only assimilate what is said or experienced up to a certain level of spiritual awareness. As everyone lives in Eternity, these souls will, through many incarnations, grow in awareness until they awaken to a higher Universal Consciousness of Reality and Universal Selfhood. Until that time, they have the exoteric or outer Christianity to give them a belief in God and the continuance of life beyond the physical.

Who can deny that loving is life’s greatest experience, except those persons who, from lack of it, turn to substitutes, such as an obsession for power over others through force, intimidation, manipulation, and fear? Yes, the tyrant, the terrorist, and their followers are so empty of love in their consciousness that they go to extremes to fill the vacuum within their minds. Those who commit the greatest atrocities are those who lack the vibration, the energy, and the presence of love in their lives.

Moreover, those who lack love’s presence in their lives are those who lack God’s Presence in their lives, making them easy prey for the leader who uses the name of God to give credibility to his rallying cry. The recruits are plentiful, for the underworld—those more hellish, lower astral planes—houses souls ready to incarnate and lash out from the lack of love or God in their lives.

There are many who present themselves as healers, as well as many methods of treatment, from the most primitive to what is described as the science of today. Everything has its place and time in the Universe—the Universe in Mystical Reality being the thought process of Universal Consciousness or God. And, if everything indeed does have its place and time in human experience—including healing—then in the human expression or practice of healing there is no “one size fits all” manner of treatment or one kind of healer above all others.

From a mystical perspective, healing and healers are viewed from what, in fact, is really taking place. By way of example, consider Jesus, who at least appeared to perform miracles of healing. When credit was directed toward him, the Christ Mind that was in him responded with the words: “It is not I, but the Father which doeth these works.” He spoke the great mystical Truth about healing, healers, and healing methods—the Truth that only the Universal Consciousness or God actually does the healing.

There is nothing so ignorant as the personal ego in humans that believes it knows something or anything about the reality of life.

The personal ego is of itself a figment of the imagination built on limited physical sense perceptions that it exists or even has any reality. How can anything that is of itself a non-reality even begin to attempt to grasp the reality of what life really is, both on a Universal scale and miniaturized down to an individual?

A person remembers the past and wonders about the future. An older person thinks how quickly time has passed, and that it seemed just yesterday—perhaps even a moment ago—that they were as young as the youth they see around them.

Yes, as the expression goes, time seems to “fly by”—but does it? On the other hand, people describing some great moment of inspiration have said or written that it was as if “time stood still.”
