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.”
