How many of you on this plane could overcome the body, the flesh, if we
could allow you to understand these principles? Understand those laws, for this becomes
such mish-mash within the mind because you dare not think through or examine the
consequences. But let your service be on those levels that would cause acceptance, each to
one another. Learn to express love in such a way that there is no doubt in the heart of
one of being loved. As a person would see himself accepted in such a real, loving
way, in the Christian manner, through service one to the other, so he would not find so
great a need to use the physical body, or the lower self, as an expression of love. Then
equate love with the higher expressions, and so overcome.
Now we have spoken of that kundalini force that has been raised, and
understand that when spiritual development would begin, there would come the turning on of
those lowest levels of the physical, or within the creative urge that is equated with the
sexual, which stimulates those glands. So there would be that which you have seen in
spiritual development and has been a problem through the ages, for in that very earliest
day of spiritual growth or awakening, there begins in the seeker the desire to deal with
the sexual urge.
But understand the reason for the occurrence. For the beginning of
spiritual growth is the beginning of power. And as it would begin to unleash within the
body, so it would call attention to these centers, these organs. Then would it not be
natural that such would gain the immediate attention of those seeking to develop
spiritually? So there would come the struggle to deal with this single problem and many
never grow past that raising of the first center. Then what would be the answer and
what would lift these in spiritual growth?
See it in this manner, begin giving attention to the higher levels of
the body, using this energy, this force, this power, for it is a very real force and
power. And if you desire the ability to create, to heal, to project, to accomplish on this
plane, then use that power, but use it for creative purposes. For in the act of such, it
is released, or that power is unleashed. And for what purpose? To give only pleasure? And
if so, then pleasure. But if that desire is for creativity, then use that power, use that
energy raised to those levels. For it is this energy, this power and this alone that
can be raised in these centers of the body to direct the body, the understanding for a
purpose to build.
Then it wouldn’t be any surprise among you that so many never
accomplish that which has been described, even from these records, as potential. For many
have been told that you possess the ability to make this accomplishment, that
accomplishment, and some seem so great they could seem almost to be fantasized even from
these planes. And why would it be so? There is not any man among you, there is not one
living on that plane of Earth, that were he to harness the power of his physical body
could not heal your land, could not raise the consciousness of this nation.
Then these are not exaggerated as they are given. They are given in
challenge, they are given in seeing that power that lies dormant, as it might be described
at the base of the spine. They are given as seeing that power raised to its highest level
within the human body. And so there is no limit to that which might be accomplished
through all among you.
Then would we condemn those who give the self in sexual satisfaction?
Not condemnation, not from these records, not from our purposes, yet see what would be
your purpose. And if your purpose be pleasure, then pleasure. And so will these forces be
released, for such purpose. But if your purpose, then, would be spiritual growth, would be
accomplishment, would be creativity, then channel those energies to those higher centers
that would be given, that would be dedicated for such purpose.
Can you speak about marriage? And it has been given and taught through
many of the masters in those writings that have been recorded, that there is given the
release among those who would seek to develop and are on the path, for co-creation and not
for pleasure even in marriage. And if there would be the raising of the level of
consciousness, then let them withhold for that time and raise that energy that would be
required and directed for a purpose, and let them accomplish. Not that these, then, even
in marriage would become celibate, for this is not necessary, for these can be raised and
used.
Then there can be the release within the physical body, if given for
purpose and direction, and even in this act in this manner can there be the sharing
between two souls. Is it not written, even in your scripture, that it would be better for
the man to cast his seed into the belly of a whore than to spill it upon the ground? See
then for this reason that these should be brought together in the sharing one with another
and giving of that energy of self, all that is of the body, between the two people rather
than the releasing for no purpose.
Then understand that these bodies have been given as tools, as
equipment, and [to] that man who would learn to control his vehicle, that man who would
learn to drive the automobile with all its power, to harness this engine directed exactly
to that place that he would want to go. See the analogy then. Understand the body in this
way. You are a soul, having been placed in a vehicle on this plane to learn to deal with
the laws of this plane. Then if you would spend all that energy that is given in pleasure,
then what would you accomplish but pleasure?
If that energy, then, is directed for a purpose, then what would be
your purpose, what wouldst thou accomplish? What would you name? What could you name?
Would you heal the sick? Would you raise the dead? Would you build cities? Would you move
mountains? "All power is given into Me, both in Heaven and Earth." This is
spoken by the Son of God, not the Father. Art thou not the Sons and Daughters of the
Most High God? And being the Sons and Daughters of God, have you less power than Him who
spoke?
But know all power is given unto thee both in Heaven and Earth, and if
you would learn to harness that power to use as energy, then so it would be accomplished.
