2009-06-13-Blissfully Unaware of an Eternal Command

Session 1

Lesson

Samuel: “Human viewpoints, compared to those of your Celestial Teachers, do vary a great deal. You may see an individual as greatly more, or sadly less, capable at his or her trade, art, or profession. He may be more eloquent in speech. She may be a better mother, cook or carer. As human beings, intimately informed about your immediate environment, you may well observe incredible differences between one member of your family and another.

“This is Samuel the Panoptian. Celestial viewpoints do not vary all that much. In the eyes of those who have already existed in time-space for thousands upon thousands of years, you are much the same – the babes of the universe – spiritual potentials – newbies only just lining up at the starting gate to spirituality. Credit is given where credit is due on all scores, sure enough, but spiritual leanings and soul-progress are seen as most important.

“Spiritual progress is what the universes are all about, and to what degree you see yourself as part of the whole, thus part of God, yes, the Creator Him/Herself, may well be your point of reference, as being indicative of your personal progress. Generally, only in retrospect and as you mature, will you discern a move, a progression, towards spirituality, and it involves an awakening of a kind.

“Let us consider one of the important rules you have been given, and may not sin against, whatever accepted mores,’ common sense, or religious dogma was your original starting point: ‘Thou shalt not kill.’ Let us be generous here, and call it: ‘Thou shalt not harm thy brother, or sister, in any way.’ Chances are you live in a democracy of some kind, and to a degree you control, by whom you are voting for, whom you will be governed by. Is your leader, he or she, of a warfaring nature?”

“Together with the credit you may take for your earnest vote, accept also the responsibility in the instance killing is done on your behalf. You may have been blissfully unaware of this resposibility in the past, but are you so now? In your spiritual progress towards total perfection, even the thought of harm done to another, any other, will be a challenge to the broader meaning of ‘Thou shalt not kill.’ Clearly, even a wishing for the urgent demise of those who are producing the present worldwide unrest, does dispute this eternal command.

“Consider. I say au revoir for now.”

Lesson

Samuel: “Your analytical minds are so used to breaking down concepts into logical fragments that you will miss the overall point here, it may well go right over your head. You will then remain blissfully unaware of the fact that you were meant to deduct from just a single command all aspects of ethical behaviour you are expected to be living by. I cflarify that you were charged to be perfect, even as your Creator Parent is perfect in all ways, unchanging. You were charged to become perfect -- at some point be perfect – because it cannot happen overnight.

“The Creator loves all offspring equally and unconditionally, and you are to become, and will be, like the Creator, perhaps around the time when you are allowed to leave time-space to henceforth dwell in eternity, perhaps before, and yet for now you – imperfect creatures in an imperfect world – must contend with what ‘catch 22 time-space’ occurrences bring you. They bring you personal experiences, which those beyond time-space must do without. They bring you regular situations in which you must choose, as you so often call it, ‘the lesser of two evils,’ and being forced to make ‘the least doubtful of two decisions.’

“In order to grow you must interact, not live in isolation, and when interacting you must come to decisions, constantly. In making decisions you cannot always be perfect by acting in favor of all concerned, and hurting no one. That is the message I bring to you; that you cannot always be perfect, but that you will become perfect in time, merely because of your experiences and thereby having learned, and knowing the difference.

“In your time-space striving for perfection – indeed by seeing all others as a part of the Creator – as indwelt by Fragments of the Creator – you will reach a point where you will be able to love all others as you love the Creator, and hurt no one, not even in the least. Few would disagree with you, and certainly not I, that your wonderous earth is the toughest of testing grounds in which to uphold His one, single, basic command. Weary not, and accumulate your valiantly earned soul credits.

“Consider finally, my friends and students: You need not ten commandments to live by, nor five, but just the one. I say au revoir for now.”
