7. Salvation and Perfection
THE PATH OF SEARCH, Chapter 7.
The month of Kamál (Perfection) 176 BE
Re-Memorising the 7th Paragraph of The Tablet of the True Seeker
As each chapter and Paragraph of the Tablet has come into synchronisation with the Badíʿ or Bahá’í calendar, a screen shot of the month of Kamál introduces this chapter, taken from a beautiful arrangement of the calendar, with each month AND the whole 19 months of 361 days arranged into a hexagram, by New York Bahá’í Friend Leland Wright, and available online as a pdf or hard copy decorative wall calendar…
Only when the Lamp of Search, of earnest striving, of longing desire, of passionate devotion, of fervid love, of rapture and ecstasy, is kindled within the Seekers heart, and the breeze of HIS loving kindness is wafted upon his soul, will the darkness of error be dispelled, the mists of doubts and misgivings be dissipated, and the lights of knowledge and certitude envelop his being. Then will the Mystic Herald, bearing the joyful tidings of the Spirit, shine forth from the City of God, resplendent as the morn, and through the trumpet blast of knowledge will awaken the heart, the soul and the spirit from the slumbers of heedlessness. Then will the manifold favours and outpouring grace of the holy and everlasting Spirit confer such new life upon the seeker that he will find himself endowed with a new eye, a new ear, a new heart, and a new mind. He will contemplate the manifest signs of the universe and will penetrate the hidden mysteries of the soul. Gazing with the eye of God, he will perceive within every atom a door that leadeth him to the stations of absolute certitude. He will discover in all things the mysteries of Divine Revelation, and the evidences of an Everlasting Manifestation.
12 Kamál Perfection 176 BE 12 August 2019 CE
As I begin the writing for this month I notice on this first day on return to my desk after several weeks of travelling that this is a day of Perfection in the month of Perfection, and also a 12:12. It was another perfect little gift for the month of Perfection, after many perfect moments on the trail, which started with meeting my wife in Auckland, from where we flew to Wellington to attend an all-day ‘Masterclass in Medical Cannabis’ with Professor Mike Barnes from the UK. The UK Government legalised the medical use of Cannabis recently and Prof Barnes, a neurologist who had observed the use of Cannabis by his MS Multiple Sclerosis patients and its huge efficacy in preventing muscle spasms, was an expert consultant in the process, which was now being evolved by the NZ MOH Ministry of Health to have a set of rules and laws governing the medical use of cannabis by the end of this year of 2019 CE, and MOH were now taking submissions.
As this subject can be a contentious one, with many people in many religions including Christians, Muslims, and Baháis, believing that Cannabis is a drug of abuse to be avoided, I feel I should begin the writing of this ‘month’ with a verse from the Long Obligatory prayer asking and requesting for our meditations and research to be guided in a correct way, so we can uncover truth, and not idle fancies or vain imaginations…
Praise be unto Thee, O our God, that Thou hast sent down unto us that which draweth us nigh unto Thee, and supplieth us with every good thing sent down by Thee in thy Books and thy Scriptures. Protect us, we beseech Thee, O my Lord, from the hosts of idle fancies and vain imaginations. Thou, in truth, art the Mighty, the All-Knowing.
The medical use of Cannabis was to be a major topic of interest though the month of Perfection as we then took a week to visit our Vegan friends the Gentle World on the Big Island of Hawai’i. In the State of Hawai’i covering all the Islands, Cannabis was readily available for anyone with a medical card supplied by a GP specialist doctor in the use of cannabinoids. Like in the rest of the USA the Big Corporations were taking over, and there were two main big corporate growers on the Big Island, but the plant was decriminalised and anyone with a medical card was allowed to grow 10 Cannabis plants… One of my submissions to the MOH was that this should be allowed in NZ as well to decriminalise all of our youth who find this plant medicine helpful, or addictive, and in New Zealand are still being imprisoned for its use.
On Sunday the 4th of August we attended our 2nd Feast of Kamál Perfection on the Big Island with some local Bahái friends, and this was a kind of a ‘Blue moon’ feast, as for the first time in over 13 years of being Bahá'is we celebrated a 2nd Feast (of any Name) in the same month, as we had already celebrated the Feast of Perfection with our Friends back in NZ. At the Feast we got talking about the dietary program we were working with in NZ, and funnily enough we were lent a book to browse for a few days about the ‘Blue Zones’ around the planet, areas with the greatest number of people over 100 years of age; The Blue Zones Solution – Eating and Living Like the World’s Healthiest Peopleby Dan Buettner. This great researcher had identified, over several decades of research, quite a few Blue zones around the planet, but in this book he focused on 4 of the zones, a Japanese Island, a Greek Island, Sardinia in the Mediterranean, and Costa Rica in Central America, and had worked successfully with many US cities especially in Iowa, in cooperation with Mayors and City Officials, and with dramatic health giving effects for City health statistics. It wasn’t only 1. the diet, there were 3 other factors that also contributed to these areas, including 2. a healthy family and community life, 3. a spiritual practice of some sort, and 4. moderate exercise exemplified by the woman on The Greek Island who spent at least 2 hours every day making her sourdough bread, going to the neighbour to get the starter, spending a couple of hours of vigorous kneading of the dough etc. The blue zones were infiltrating the whole USA including the Big Island, we noticed at our last stop before leaving the Island on a visit with our good friend Randyl, aka Dr. Frankincense, at a Café Restaurant by the name of Under the Bodhi Tree, where I noticed a sign that said this Café was part of the local Blue Zone project!
It was an interesting book to read as it contradicted in at least one way the diet we were using at our Whare Rongoā – House of Medicine to heal people’s ailments, which was basically a lectin free diet, proven in many different studies especially in the research and books of Dr Steven Gundry, and now with a few cases we were helping, to be amazingly effective in healing ailments especially heart disease, cancer, and auto-immune disease, and also most of the diseases of modern civilisation such as Diabetes and Obesity. The way the Blue Zone research contradicted this was that the one common factor uniting the 4 best zones for longevity on the planet was that beans were a staple in their diets, though beans were excluded as a lectin containing food on the Gundry “Plant Paradox” diet. According to Dr. Gundry beans were OK if they were pressure cooked, which deletes some of the lectins (Plant proteins developed by plants to injure and slowly kill their predators who want to eat them!) It was all food for thought, as well as food for the stomach at Gentle World where beans had long been one of the staples of their diet as well. They were our friends for about 20 years now, since they started spending their southern summers in NZ, and this was the first time we had seen them at their home in the Northern hemisphere…
13 Kamál Perfection 176 BE 13 August 2019 CE
One of the things we were gifted on the Island when we dropped the Blue Zones book back was a music album Heartfelt Connections produced arranged and sung by the beautiful female host of the Feast of Perfection, who, with her husband had given us an amazing feast of music at the Feast. Now having listened to the album over and over while driving up to the Hawai’ian camp on Mauna Kea, the older Northern volcano, snow covered in the winter, where the Indigenous Hawai’ians were encamped in at least a hundred tents, up in arms to block a USA Corporation planning to desecrate sacred land with a massive radio telescope. Today I downloaded the album onto my hard drive and listened to it a couple more times, appreciating the opening comments on her introduction page…
Heartfelt Connections is a collection of songs that I have come to love over the years. In recording them I hope to connect the music to the hearts of others to fulfil the following advice of `Abdu’l-Bahá. “Try, if thou canst, to use spiritual melodies, songs and tunes, and to bring the earthly music into harmony with the celestial melody. Then thou wilt notice what a great influence music hath and what heavenly joy and life it conferreth.”
Listening to her singing at the Feast of Perfection I reflected that her voice was very close to Perfection in reflecting the best qualities of Joan Baez, Joni Mitchell, and my first love at the age of 7: Mary of Peter Paul and Mary, some of my all-time favourite singers, and her singing and guitar and ukulele playing truly did confer heavenly joy! Then later in the evening having dinner at Gentle World we reflected that their eating habits were getting pretty close to Perfection as well, with the entirely plant-based diet they had been eating for over 40 years. A visit with GW was the main reason for us picking the Big Island of Hawai’i for our little break away from work, and we had both felt very strongly attracted – it was a heartfelt connection! – and indeed we were both able to help a little with our knowledge of orthodox and plant medicine respectively, and in fact realised that one of the members had sent a text message 2 weeks prior asking us for help, which had without her knowledge failed to send. We were powerfully struck to realise that we had received the heartfelt message in any case, and were inclined to think that it was their Mother figure, whose name was SUN, who had passed on suddenly to the next worlds several months prior, who was the telepathic mediator, which in turn was giving us some more clues as to how the synchronicity worked – with the help of the CONCOURSE ON HIGH, sometimes referred to as the Celestial Concourse, which itself existed on some different levels we were to further elucidate during this month’s discoveries and meditations!
Another member of GW by the name of GOLDEN related to us her experience of going recently to Heartwood Resort in the mountains of Northern California, where she and some others took a small heavenly potion of psilocybin and described her totally amazing experience of becoming a vortex of energy, which sounded exactly like William Henry’s descriptions of the Tibetan Rainbow body, and rose into another dimension where she met a Galactic Council made up of Prophets and Great Beings, including SUN who came to her very clearly and told her to tell everyone she is OK and it was time for them to expand beyond the Gentle World and take their message out to the world, and not to isolate themselves. Indeed, it was already happening I realised, as one of the last things we had heard on the New Zealand news before we left, was that the MOH had officially taken on a policy of encouraging a plant-based diet throughout NZ to promote a carbon neutral future. Times were a-changing throughout the world, fastest of all in the USA where the ill-conceived War on Drugs had been the most punitive and torturous for the people, but now GOLDEN informed us that Oakland City in San Francisco recently became the first city in the world to make all psychedelic plant medicines legal to possess and use.
Another GW member whom we might call LOVE ANGEL delivered more information about transformative plant-based medicine by giving us another book to read, after giving us a very good laugh describing how she had found the book. It had been a few days before, and she was hiding behind a shelf of books in the public library from someone she did not want to talk to, and the book had literally called out to her, and she knew it was for us. Another GW member by the name of SKY also had a good laugh about her story and told her that person she was trying to avoid had actually been an angel sent by God to direct her to the book, which reminded me immediately of the story of the Lover in the last chapter who was fleeing the watch-man, whom he thought was a devilish influence threatening his life, but after he scaled the garden wall and found his lover, realised that the watchman was a guardian angel! When I looked at this fascinating book, I started thinking that it might be a synchronous next step in uncovering the secrets of Christ and the mysteries of the Rainbow body cloak. The book was The Anointed Ones – Secrets of the Messiah Medicine by Dr. Michael Albert-Puleo, MD, published by Mythobotanical Press in 2011; www.mythobotanicalpress.com

Opening the Book, on the Introductory page I read:
The Egyptians invented it.
The Bible records it formulations and use.
It was an ointment made from precious herbal medicines
that caused “visions and dreams”.
For 1000 years every Hebrew High priest and king was sanctified by it.
The ancient Jews called the ones so consecrated “Messiahs”
meaning “Anointed Ones”.
One day the Messiah Medicine was ground to ashes
beneath the rubble of war,
persisting only as a dim memory
decaying into myth.
It was lost again.
Yet only by learning its secrets
can the true origins of Judaism and Christianity
be known.
I managed to read the book from cover to cover on our 5 nights on the Island, and found it a fascinating story indeed, the life work of this esteemed medical doctor, and it was not just some imaginary pipe dream, it was an important book of solid historical and scientific research that revealed the deepest secrets of the ancient priesthood of Aaron and the House of Levi. Their secrets were hidden in plain sight, as the recipe for this ointment that allowed the High priests to communicate with the archangel forms of Michael and Gabriel, represented on the lid of the Ark of the Covenant in solid gold Cherubim with the so-called “mercy seat” between their wings, correctly referred to as ‘The Ark of Testimony’, was in the book of Exodus, Chapter 30, and spelt out in New King James Version English; a mixture of 4 plant medicines mixed in Olive oil.
22. Moreover the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: 23. “Also take for yourself quality spices – five hundred shekels of liquid myrrh, half as much sweet-smelling cinnamon, (two hundred and fifty shekels) two hundred and fifty shekels of sweet-smelling cane, 24. Five hundred shekels of cassia, according to the shekel of the sanctuary, and a hin of olive oil. And you shall make from these a holy anointing oil, an ointment compounded according to the art of the perfumer. It shall be a holy anointing oil.
According to the good doctor the “sweet smelling cane” was identified as it was translated in the original King James version as Calamus, which was a common marsh plant with no proven visionary or communication enhancing effects. However, a Polish scientist in the 1930s showed quite conclusively that this mysterious ingredient of the ointment was actually cannabis, and not calamus, which was banned by the American FDA in 1968 as it apparently has high levels of a poison named Asarone, which has been shown to cause cancer, and has ill effects on heart, liver and kidney functions. As an interesting article by Pat and Lynn Kempen on the www pointed out… This toxin in Calamus is used for pest control. Why would God specify a large quantity of a poison to be used in holy anointing oil?
They went on to say: In 1936, Sula Benet, a Polish etymologist from the Institute of Anthropological Sciences in Warsaw revealed solid evidence of the Hebrew use of cannabis. The word "cannabis" had previously been thought to be of Scythian origin as Scythians first brought the plant to Europe, but Benet showed it has much earlier origin in Semitic languages like Hebrew. “In the original Hebrew text of the Old Testament there are references to hemp, both as incense, which was an integral part of religious celebration, and as an intoxicant.” Benet demonstrated that the word for cannabis is “kaneh-bosm”, and in traditional Hebrew “kaneh” or “kannabus.” The root “kan” here means “reed” or “hemp”, while “bosm” means “aromatic.” This word appears five times in the Old Testament (Exodus, Song of Solomon, Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Ezekiel) and has been mistranslated as “calamus”, a common marsh plant with little monetary value that does not have the qualities or value ascribed to “kaneh-bosm.” The error occurred in the oldest Greek translation of the Hebrew bible, the Septuagint in the 3rd century BC, and was repeated in translations that followed.
Making a Google search on the above subject, specifically a search on the words ‘Cannabis versus Calamus’, revealed some very interesting and strongly diverging opinions. Naturally there were several articles from orthodox “Christians”, deceived by the 1800-odd years of Inquisition and Imprisonment of plant medicines and their practitioners (e.g. Millions of beautiful female plant medicine healers and ‘witches’ murdered and tortured by the Church through the Middle Ages) now still represented in the FDA and other controlling agencies, that had a strongly purgative effect, with emotional and angry words rejecting the hypothesis that Aaron and the priesthood would use Cannabis in their ointment, and maintaining that the use of or consumption of this plant is a sin or of the Devil! Of course, now the truth is breaking out on all sides attesting to the amazing healing properties of this God given plant in all sorts of diseases, and that is not even considering the abilities it has to allow mere humans to look into and communicate with different levels of reality and spirit realms.
Actually, if these orthodox Christians, has been “true Christians” they would have been anointed by the Oil as their initiation into Christianity, and thus, if they had cleansed and purified their hearts and fulfilled the other 35 conditions, would have gone through Salvation! Of course, we now know from the good doctor’s many decades of research that “Christians” actually means “Anointed Ones” and therefore in the early centuries all Christians came into the Faith though the use of this ointment or Salve – they were literally anointed with ointment, and thus the word Salvation means what it sounds like – being covered with a Salve or ointment made up of plant medicine. According to this book Jesus resurrected this ointment from the ashes of warfare and made its use available for everyone, not just reserved for the Levites, and in this he was obeying God’s command in the Book of Genesis, here extracted again from the NKJV, Chapter 1, verses 29-30:
29. And God said, “See, I have given you every herb that yields seed which is on the face of all the earth, and every tree whose fruit yields seed; to you it shall be for food. 30. Also, to every beast of the earth, to every bird of the air, and to everything that creeps on the earth, in which there is life, I have given every green herb for food”, and it was so.
14 Kamál Perfection 176 BE 14 August 2019 CE
3rd day back at work and I have another couple of hours to spend on writing this chapter, which has proven so far to lead away from the blessed writings and into the world of exploring plant medicine on this beautiful but dangerous orb we call home. Today I felt like bringing back the focus to the WORDS of the Blessed Beauty, so looked again in to The Call of the Divine Beloved, and found myself magnetically drawn to Bahá’u’lláh’s words, translated from the Arabic in the first few paragraphs of The Seven Valleys, to the fortunate Friend to whom Bahá’u’lláh addressed His mystical treatise…
To continue: I have hearkened to the song of the nightingale of knowledge upon the twigs of the tree of thine inmost being, and to the cooing of the dove of certitude upon the branches of the bower of thine heart. Methinks I inhaled the fragrance of purity from the raiment of thy love and, in perusing thy letter, attained thy very presence. I noted, moreover, thine allusions to thy death in God and thy life through Him, and the love thou dost cherish for the beloved of the Lord and for the Manifestations of His names and the Exponents of His attributes. I have purposed, therefore, to acquaint thee with holy and resplendent tokens from the realms of might and glory, that haply they may draw thee nigh unto the court of holiness, nearness, and beauty, and draw thee to a station wherein thou shalt see naught in all existence but the hallowed Countenance of thy Beloved, and wilt behold all of creation as a day wherein none was deemed worthy of mention. 13
Of this did the nightingale of oneness sing in the garden of his mystical treatise,14 saying, “And there shall appear upon the tablet of thine heart an inscription of the subtle mysteries of the verse ‘Fear ye God; God will teach you’, and the bird of thy spirit shall recall the sanctuaries of ancient splendour, and soar upon the wings of longing into the heaven of the command ‘Walk the beaten paths of thy Lord’, and partake of the choice fruits of communion in the gardens of the utterance ‘Feed, moreover, on every kind of fruit.’”15
By My life, O friend! Wert thou to taste the fruits of these verdant trees that spring from the soil of true understanding, once the effulgent light of His Essence hath been reflected in the Mirrors of His names and attributes, yearning would seize the reins of patience and restraint from out thy hand and stir thy spirit into commotion with the splendours of His light. It would draw thee from this abode of dust unto thy true and heavenly habitation in the midmost heart of mystic knowledge, and raise thee to a station wherein thou wilt soar in the air even as thou treadest upon the earth, and wilt walk upon the water even as thou movest over the land. Wherefore, may it rejoice me, and thee, and whosoever mounteth into the heaven of knowledge, and whose heart hath been revived by the breezes of certitude that waft from the Sheba of the All-Merciful upon the meadow of his inner being. Peace be upon him who followeth the way of guidance!16
Meditating on these WORDS, and finding manifold blessings and manifest signs of the Universe, such as the reference to two of the Words for this month in the sentence referring to the lights of knowledge and certitude enveloping my being, I was conscious of my heart, mind, soul and spirit being drawn back into the celestial realms and feeling the fire igniting in the centre of my being in my heart chakra once again. Checking on the notations I found that 13, 25 and 16, were sentences from the Qur’an, and 14 the garden of his mystical treatise was literally ‘the garden of Ghawthíyyih’with a note that ‘The Risáliy-i-Ghawthíyyih is a mystical treatise by ‘Abdu’l-Qádir-i-Gílání (ca. 1077–1166). The sentence that follows is a quotation from this work.’It was another reminder of how rich this mystical work was in relation to the history of Persia and the Persian Mystics and to the Muslim world and the Qur’an, and I remembered how through most of the month of Kamál Perfection, while staying on the Big Island, I was still having difficulty reciting the words at the end of Paragraph 6, and thus being aware that there was more to understand and penetrate in these words, especially the quotation from the Qur’an…
When the detached wayfarer and sincere seeker hath fulfilled these essential conditions, then and only then can he be called a true seeker. Whensoever he hath fulfilled the conditions implied in the verse: “Whoso maketh efforts for Us,” [1] he shall enjoy the blessing conferred by the words: “In Our ways shall we assuredly guide him.” [2]
What I realised while meditating on these words on the Big Island, and had not noticed before, was the plural expression… it was for Us, and again in Our ways shall We assuredly guide him. This then led to thoughts about the origin of the Words, which came originally from the Archangel Gabriel, referred to in the ancient Judaic scriptures as one of the Cherubimof the Ark, and with Michael He was cast in solid gold on the lid of the Ark of Testimony, made by Bezaleel the Goldsmith on the instructions given by the brothers Moses and Aaron. Here we perhaps see Aaron uttering His prayer, the Prayer of Aaron, a magical formula that only the High Priest was allowed to utter:
The Lord Bless You and keep you.
The Lord make His face
to shine upon you
and be gracious unto you.
The Lord lift up the Light
of His countenance upon you
and give you Peace!
To bring in another reference to Plant Medicine and its use by these high priests, the basic structure of the Ark, lined with Gold was from ‘Shittim wood’, which we had previously identified on our 2013 journey to Petra Jordan, as the Desert Acacia, which also was rich in its leaves and bark in another alkaloid – also forgotten and buried by the dust of thousands of years of warfare on this planet, but now being uncovered and re-discovered by people in many nations around the planet for its transformational and healing properties; DMT di-methyl-tryptamine – the most active and visionary of the alkaloids in the well-known Ayahuasca brew and also seemingly a brew that the Zoroastrian Magi knew all about…
The WORDS mentioned came from Gabriel the Cherub or Archangel, to Muhammad “The Messenger of God”, who as we have seen was another version of Christ, an ‘Anointed One’ or Messiah to a vast number of Muslims, now 1409 solar years after Muhammad began receiving, in a cave somewhere in the Middle East in 610CE, what Muslims consider to be divine revelations, now over a billion in their numbers; several billion if you count the ones who have gone on to the Muslim heaven or hell! Muhammad then wrote the Words into His book, so the Ways in which the sincere seeker or detached wayfarer would be assuredly guided were the Ways of the Angels and Archangels… This then led to contemplation on the realms from which these archangels/ark angels came, which I feel will be an ongoing process of research, at the same time feeling very happy to enjoy the blessing conferred by the Words “In Our Ways Shall We assuredly guide him!’” From the knowledge already gathered on this path I understood that the realms of the angels were below those of the Manifestations of God, in the realms that were translated into English as The Kingdom and The Dominion, which were also the realms of The Concourse on High, about which `Abdu’l-Bahá wrote on their interaction with a group of Sincere Seekers as follows…
Look ye not upon the fewness of thy numbers, rather, seek ye out hearts that are pure. One consecrated soul is preferable to a thousand other souls. If a small number of people gather lovingly together, with absolute purity and sanctity, with their hearts free of the world, experiencing the emotions of the Kingdom and the powerful magnetic forces of the Divine, and being at one in their happy fellowship, that gathering will exert its influence over all the earth. The nature of that band of people, the words they speak, the deeds they do, will unleash the bestowals of Heaven, and provide a foretaste of eternal bliss. The hosts of the Company on high will defend them, and the angels of the Abhá Paradise, in continuous succession, will come down to their aid. `Abdu’l-Bahá p179
Perhaps it is best to also first see what the Blessed Beauty Himself says about angels. For a start we need to recognise that even though His station is in the realm of the Divine Manifestations, there was a human side to Him as well and He stated “I was but a man like others, asleep upon my couch, when lo the breezes of the All Glorious were wafted over me, and taught me the knowledge of all that hath been.” We have already seen that the breezes of the All Glorious is a reference to the Maid of Eternity, which he referred to also at one point in his writings in Gleanings where he told what happened when the Mighty Spirit would come through, and it was no surprise to learn that the Archangels were also involved in this process…
“The Day-Star of eternal Guidance beareth me witness: Had it been in my power, I would have, under no circumstances, consented to distinguish myself amongst men, for the Name I bear utterly disdaineth to associate itself with this generation whose tongues are sullied and whose hearts are false. And whenever I chose to hold my peace and be still, lo, the voice of the Holy Ghost, standing on my right hand, aroused me, and the Supreme Spirit appeared before my face, and Gabriel overshadowed me, and the Spirit of Glory stirred within my bosom, bidding me arise and break my silence.”
Also, earlier today while searching on the Blessed Beauty and Angels, I came across another reading in the online version in the Bahá’i library of the Book of Certitude Kitab-i-Iqan: And now, concerning His words: "And He shall send His angels...." By "angels" is meant those who, reinforced by the power of the spirit, have consumed, with the fire of the love of God, all human traits and limitations, and have clothed themselves with the attributes of the most exalted Beings and of the Cherubim, which in fact could also be described as being made Perfect! A notation on Cherubim was hyperlinked into the notes at the back of the book of the book and went as follows: In the Bible the Cherubim appear as distinct from the angels who are Jehovah's messengers, while the cherubim are found where God is personally present: e.g. "And he [God] rode upon a cherub." (Psalms 18: 10). Figures of Cherubim were wrought into the hangings of the Holy of Holies and were represented above the Mercy Seat within. In later tradition, the Cherubim were included among the nine orders of angels.
The first realisation from contemplating these readings was that the Words of the Manifestation are the unerring guidance for each dispensation, but from this paragraph of the TOTTS it was also clear that the guidance from these realms of the Concourse on High and the Angels and Archangels were the medium through which the guidance of the true seeker or sincere wayfarer would come, and this guidance would often come in the form of Manifest Signs of the Universe, synchronicity and fortuitous and coincidental discoveries along the trail, and also interaction with Loved Ones in the other levels of reality, like our recent interaction with Gentle World SUN who came through very clearly and unmistakeably and made sure we suddenly out of the blue decided to take a holiday in Hawai’i!
It also led to thoughts previously garnered from a Trail of Discovery to Petra and Mt Sinai, published in my book The Heart of the Hurricane, about the nature of the Archangels Michael and Gabriel, how in ancient Jewish lore they were associated with different stars in the heavens, these two in particular with the two stars of the handle of the Great Dipper, and therefore all the other Archangels must be associated with other stars or star systems, maybe the 13 Tibetan star systems mentioned? There was now also the proof and evidence of the fact that the chosen male members of the House of Levi descending from Aaron would use the sacred Messiah Medicine to open up the portals of communication with the Archangelic forms, and they would also use the “stones of fire” in the breastplate to protect themselves from being burnt up while using this ancient plasma fire technology…
All of these subjects we discussed around the dinner table at Gentle World, and one point I remember was SKY’s thought about the nature of ‘Fire’, that it wasn’t really an element like the other elements, but a manifestation of Light, and therefore being a Sagittarius, he was a ‘Light’ sign rather than a Fire sign. In my response to this, I talked about my understanding that there was another phase of manifestation of Light in ‘Plasma’ or ‘Ether’, not as destructive as Fire, but also able to be used as with a ‘plasma torch’ to burn away any wayward or negative thoughts and imaginations, as in the LOP; Make my prayer, O My Lord, a Fire that will burn away the veils, or as in some of the Words in an earlier chapter in which the seeker should consume every wayward thought with the flame of His loving mention. SKY also brought some more knowledge on the role of Jesus when he talked about the important influence on his path of an amazing book by a Hawai’ian kahuna, who discovered a code in the Words of Christ when they were translated into the Hawai’ian language, and came up with all sorts of extraordinary mystical hidden meanings and a definite connection of the Kahuna wisdom to the teachings of Christ and to ancient Egypt.
These beautiful poetic Essene teachings from Jesus direct us to recognise and interact with angels, specifically the angels of air, water, and sun, in a similar way to how we can interact with the celestial angels, which appear to be from different star systems – 13 of them including ours if the Tibetan Rainbow body teachings are correct. But these angels were very real, and Jesus’ Words about the angel of Earth, how great her strength and how vast her terrain etc, made me think of the Big Island, and Pele, the Polynesian atua god form, Who was a very real personality in the History of these Islands, fiery and unpredictable, as befitting the great tetrahedral 19.5 degree latitude Fire point of Creation on Planet Earth, where the Volcano gave some big frights to locals from Her Kilauea Caldera last year 2018.
All the Hawai’ian Islands were formed by Pele over Millions of Years, as the land mass slowly crept north over the fire point, with the oldest Island being Kauai, then Oahu, then Maui, then Hawai’i the Big Island. I was comforted on this journey, not to have a visit with the sometimes angry and unpredictable Pele, but with her older Sister, Mauna Kea, the White Haired Sister presiding over the northern Big Island, who was Once even more Fiery than Kilauea, and now on the flanks of which the indigenous Hawai’ians were encamped, including some white haired kupuna (tupuna in Maori = elders) making a stand against the great Corporate USA Government that wants to desecrate their sacred Mountain. The connections with these angels of Earth and Fire were very much deepened on our flight home by browsing a Great book by Kahuna Herb Kawainui Kane, PELE, Goddess of Hawai’i’s Volcanoes.
There was another connection I realised on the 2nd night on the Island, before my MacBook died, that connected the themes of Pele and Cannabis, and stood out in the recognition of my new eye and new ear, as a possible sign of the universe. Catching up on the world news a major topic at the moment was Tulsi Gabbard, who was looking like a beautiful manifestation of the angry Pele from Her Islands, when she attacked the cowering and exposed ex-Attorney General of California, Kamala Harris, in the 2019 Democratic Convention Presidential debates, for under her watch imprisoning over 1550 innocent users of Cannabis plant medicine, and then on the record laughing and admitting that she smoked it herself. I was hoping that what I was seeing on the news was the outcome of Beth’s Vision she saw in the preceding chapter about the Anointing of the Islands of Hawai’i with Oil, resulting in the Salvation of the Islands, with this beautiful Presidential candidate that wanted to stop war, and let the innocents out of the prisons. I saw clearly how she was being helped by that fiery angel of Earth and Fire by the name of Pele, also showing aspects of Mauna Kea - the white lady - and it looked like she might also be guided by the angels of the Concourse on High; In Our ways shall We assuredly guide her!
The Manifest Signs of the Universe were bringing assured guidance from many different levels of the Worlds of God, from Polynesian atua god-forms/angels like Pele - Peregrine's, and Kanaloa - Tangaroa the Polynesian god of the Ocean, to Divine Manifestations or Messiahs like Jesus, Muhammad, and the Blessed Beauty Himself, and also from Archangels like Michael and Gabriel, who since they were mostly Els, were also probably the Elohim referred to in the Book of Genesis, the Sons of God, who found the daughters of men very desirable, and came down to make families with them. This then would have begun the practice of the current rulers (royals) keeping a track of their female bloodline to make sure it was kept in a continuous thread back to the Elohim, also presumably those referred to in the Sumerian texts as the Annunaki, those who came on wings… There were many levels or dimensions in these Worlds of God, at least 9 hierarchies of angels according to the ancient Judaic teachings, so I was for an instant quite worried about my ability to understand Who was Who? and where did They All come from? But then I remembered again Their promise to the true seeker… Whensoever he hath fulfilled the conditions implied in the verse: “Whoso maketh efforts for Us,” [1] he shall enjoy the blessing conferred by the words: “In Our ways shall we assuredly guide him.” [2]
14 Kamál Perfection 176 BE 14 August 2019 CE
The REM sleep this morning definitely brought more memories of our Journey to Petra Jordan in 2013, following the footsteps of Graham Phillips and his book The Templars and the Ark of the Covenant, in which he tracked down the real story of the Ark of the Covenant from when the high priest Jeremiah was told by God as related in the Remaining Words (Paralipomena) of Jeremiah, a rare 1st Century Greek Manuscript found by GP in the Jerusalem Shrine of the book…
“And Jeremiah said, “Behold, Lord, now we know that you are delivering the city into the hands of its enemies, and they will take the people away to Babylon. What do you want me to do with the holy vessels of the temple service?” And the Lord said to him, “Take them and consign them to the earth, saying: Hear, Earth, the voice of your creator who formed you in the abundance of waters, who sealed you with seven seals for seven epochs, after this you will receive your ornaments. Guard the vessels of the temple service until the gathering of the Beloved”.
Graham Phillips told an extraordinary story as he pursued the location of the real Mt Sinai; how it was in fact the Holy Mountain Jebel Madhbah – The Mountain of Sacrifice above the Treasury in Petra, and how this is where Jeremiah took the Golden Ark and stored it in a cave. He then discovered the story of a band of English Templar Knights led by Ralph de Sudely who discovered a golden box and some jewels and other treasures in Petra, in a cave under the Treasury. They took some of the pieces back to England when the Crusaders abandoned the Valley of Edom in 1189AD, and this story is why the main feature that was carved into the base of Jebel Madhbah, the Mountain of Sacrifice, was the amazing building known as The Treasury.
The real Mt Sinai had mysterious properties, like being built of Arenite Sandstone, one of the rock types that can produce Balls of Fire (Geoplasma) , and the locality where Graham Philips tracked down this band of Templars was in the Dawson Bassett Hills in England, which were made of Carnelian Granite – another Geoplasma producing rock… GP and his friends’ adventures took them well into the world of Manifest Signs of the Universe, incredible coincidences and research that led them in unexpected directions, and their quest was extremely successful as they ended up decoding a Templar inspired stained glass chapel window and finding the 3 stones from the bottom row of Aaron’s breastplate hidden in the English countryside.
‘I must align with the Bahá’i perspective in looking upon Satan as the unbridled human Ego, perhaps best represented in our recent history by the motto of the black magician Aleister Crowley – Do What Thou Wilt is the Whole of the Law, Love under Will – and the evident cruel reptilian rites that came with it that often extended, especially in ‘royal’ circles, to paedophilia and sex murder of women and children on the altars. …Lucifer on the other hand appeared to be a real historical personage along with Michael and Gabriel, Uriel, Azazel, and all the other ark angels, whether good angels or fallen ‘dark’ angels, they also appeared each to be aligned with specific stellar orbs in our heavens, and therefore perhaps with civilisations associated with those stars.
‘Graham Phillip’s interview in his book with Dr Griver, a Jewish scholar and historian gives more details, and we learn that Lucifer was the Chief angel of God and the original one to have the Stones of Fire, and he used them for his own power, for selfish means, and was therefore cast out of heaven. The story of Lucifer’s fall from grace is not related in the Old Testament, but it was included in the ancient Hebrew Tanak, from which the Old Testament was compiled.
‘The Essenes of Qumran referred in their (Dead Sea) Scrolls to possessing the stones of fire themselves, and the ancient books portraying Lucifer as the original possessor of the stones, so as devotees of Michael and Gabriel, Lucifer’s replacement they are also remembering the ancient lineage. The ancient Israelites believed that at the beginning of the world, when he was still God’s chief angel, Lucifer resided on Mt Sinai, from where he commanded the other angels. The sacred stones were set into Lucifer’s garments, to protect him from the might of his fellow angels, Dr Scriber explained to Graham Phillips.
‘The lost sciences and arts of plant medicines were also brought by these ark angels, and it now seems to me that if we focus first of all on the Ancient Beauty, and most of all keep Love in our hearts, Love foremost over Will, compassion for all life and submission to the benevolent forces of the Universe, then we may continue to resurrect the ancient arts and sciences, not only of the Herbal medicines, but also of the Stones of Fire… meanwhile hearing an echo, maybe an answer from our recitation on the top of Sinai’s twin Mountain, the ascension mountain of Aaron - Mt Hor - of his Tablet of Visitation with `Abdu’l-Bahá, in his description of the blessed Golden Age of Love that is just around the corner…
‘Know thou of a certainty that Love is the secret of God’s holy dispensation, the manifestation of the All-Merciful, the fountain of spiritual outpourings. Love is heaven’s kindly light, the Holy Spirit’s eternal breath that vivifieth the human soul. Love is the cause of God’s revelation unto man, the vital bond inherent, in accordance with the divine creation, in the realities of things. Love is the one means that ensureth true felicity both in this world and the next. Love is the light that guideth in darkness, the living link that uniteth God with man, that assureth the progress of every illumined soul. Love is the most great law that ruleth this mighty and heavenly cycle, the unique power that bindeth together the divers elements of this material world, the supreme magnetic force that directeth the movements of the spheres in the celestial realms. Love revealeth with unfailing and limitless power the mysteries latent in the universe. Love is the spirit of life unto the adorned body of mankind, the establisher of true civilization in this mortal world, and the shedder of imperishable glory upon every high-aiming race and nation. ‘Abdu’l-Bahá’
On our flight back from the Big Island my wife and I watched the most recent 2 of the Marvel comic film series, Avengers: Infinity War, and Avengers: Endgame. With the recent Synchronicity related in these chapters to previous Marvel movies I was expecting some revelations, and sure enough, the movie turned out to be really the story of Lucifer as told by Dr Griver, except his name was Thanos, and he had only 5 Infinity stones, which fit into a kind of Power Glove that gave him the awesome power of the Universe to destroy things and have his Way, his Will, with the Universe. In Infinity War the Good Angels were decimated and half of them killed, but in The End Game with a bit of (Luciferian) science and technology from Tony Stark they managed to go back through time and resurrect their numbers, recapture the Infinity stones, and put the Universe back into Peaceful and benevolent Existence, as it is meant to Be… As I related in my book I was comforted to discover that Graham Phillips and his friends had discovered these implements of the ancient priesthood for the first time since they were consigned to the Earth by Jeremiah, and so it must be the time promised for the Gathering of the Beloved.
Moving on in this talk, which was an amazing feast of all sorts of artworks and timely illuminations and understandings, the description of the Beings that became the Highest Angels through discovering their Christ Rainbow bodies were known in ancient Judaic lore, as Seraphim, or literally 6–winged Feathered Serpents, as was Quetzalcoatl the Mayan Plumed Serpent… The Seraphim were the highest Angels, also known as The Perfected Ones, or ‘humans made Perfect’ and in the angelic order as described by WH they were of a higher order than the Cherubim. Jesus Christ was also one of these Seraphim, Perfected Ones, as WH told the story of how Christ in the unrecorded early decades of His life went to different places including Egypt and Tibet where he learnt the Tibetan Rainbow body tradition and passed the secrets down through initiates and artists over the last 2000 years, who preserved the knowledge in religious paintings, thousands of them, many collected by WH to illustrate his awesome books and some shown in this presentation.
Later in this 1hour9minute lecture WH went into his amazing discoveries of how to replicate the technology, including the Tesla coils in the Messiah device, which was also hidden in the medieval Christian paintings, for one small example in the Spear of Longinus that pierced Jesus’s side on the cross, being always at an exact angle of 23.5 degrees, and many other secrets revealed in this astonishing and inspiring talk, leading up to the 2012 Star gate. It was internal technology that was our birth rite according to WH and the external technology, the building of metal spaceships and the transhumanist vain imaginations of mating the human body with machine intelligence to travel the universe was a blind alley, but the benevolent technology that helped us to discover our light bodies was there in the artwork of ALL religions and many cultures in plain sight for all to discover.
God testifieth that there is none other God but Him. His are the kingdoms of Revelation and of Creation. He, in truth, hath manifested Him Who is the Dayspring of Revelation, Who conversed on Sinai, through Whom the Supreme Horizon hath been made to shine, and the Lote-Tree beyond which there is no passing hath spoken, and through Whom the call hath been proclaimed unto all who are in heaven and on earth: “Lo, the All-Possessing is come. Earth and heaven, glory and dominion are God's, the Lord of all men, and the Possessor of the Throne on high and of earth below!”
This verse, when combined with the random access I made in the Hidden Words for our 2013 pilgrimage to the Holy Bahái shrines and then the journey to Petra, Mt Sinai and Mt Hor, led to a huge journey of discovery, which I then wrote into those 3 chapters. The random Hidden Word not only directed us to the lost Covenant God made with Moses, but also to the discovery that Mecca and Mt Sinai, the original holy places of Islam and Judaism, were one and the same place, both hidden and celebrated at distant sites, in that vicinity of the Middle East. Among the best of the researchers discovered on that quest was Dan Gibson, author of a massive book Qur’anic Geography, whose story was coincidentally posted on my YouTube Home page today and downloaded for watching on another day very soon! The Holy City of Mecca, Have we got it wrong?
The Hidden Word that brought so much illumination and discovery back then, especially when elucidated from readings sent by supportive friends, who sent me writings published by Dr Moojan Momen, including a piece from Bahá’i scholar Steven Lambden on Sinaitic Mysteries, was Persian Hidden Word 71…
O MY FRIENDS!
Call ye to mind that covenant ye have entered into with Me upon Mount Paran, situate within the hallowed precincts of Zaman. I have taken to witness the concourse on high and the dwellers in the city of eternity, yet now none do I find faithful unto the covenant. Of a certainty pride and rebellion have effaced it from the hearts, in such wise that no trace thereof remaineth. Yet knowing this, I waited and disclosed it not.
There is neither time nor space to examine these mysteries here, but I am very happy to bring them up briefly in the discussion of these few lines of the TOTTS, which, like in many of the previous chapters, came up while contemplating Words from the Previous months memorisation that were not yet flowing easily in the memorisation process. Whensoever he hath fulfilled the conditions implied in the verse: “Whoso maketh efforts for Us,” [1] he shall enjoy the blessing conferred by the words: “In Our ways shall we assuredly guide him.” [2] It was more evidence that, even if we were still in the Valleys of Limitation, and had not even looked deeply into the 3rd Valley of Knowledge, these words promised the enjoyment of ongoing blessings, and ever more guidance into the Trails and multiple dimensions of the Concourse on High (can also read Universal Community) and many more incredibly exciting discoveries ahead on the Path of Search of the True Seeker.
16 Kamál Perfection 176 BE 16 August 2019 CE
Today is the Full Moon, said by some astrologers to have Venus squared with the sign of Aquarius, and in that statement we now realise we are talking about angels on different levels of being, Venus the planet and Venus the archetypal goddess, squared with the Sign of the Water bringer, also a vast angelic entity in the Celestial Worlds of God, bringing the energy of star-crossed lovers, with the full energy of the creative female moon goddess, known in old koro’s map as Nga Rona, waxing and waning, ruling the seasons and tides and ancestry, and seemingly quite important in his scheme of the Rainbow body Merkaba… It was all incredibly exciting when viewed from the passionate position of the Valleys of Search, Love, and Knowledge, and I gave thanks that I was only half way along the Trail of learning the TOTTS from top to bottom. I was also learning from the physical trials in the ED the last 2 nights when the full moon was associated with the ED going into chaos and havoc for a couple of nights, with multiple 90 year old+ people trying to die on me. When I went to SO News expecting to see a CME or solar flare the SUN was all quiet, but Ben Davidson still delivered the answer on this date 16 August when he talked about the massive stellar blast that just took place, AND also presented an unrelated paper showing that when the Sun was quiet the lunar goddess was the one which reflected to us on the Earth the gamma rays of stellar gamma bursts and other galactic explosions, bringing to us the influences from Vast distances in the Universe
This morning I recited the TOTTS from top to end of Para 7 3x, and on the last try only had to consult the hard copy 3x, so we have 3 days left in the month of Perfection to Perfect the Recitation.
17 Kamál Perfection 176 BE 17 August 2019 CE
This morning I was able to recite from the top to the end of Para 7 with only 1 look, so I have two more days to get it to Perfection before 19:19 and the end of Kamál Perfection, which means we are on course for moving on to Paragraph 8 for the 19 days of Asmá’ (Names)
I swear by God! Were he that treadeth the path of guidance and seeketh to scale the heights of righteousness to attain unto this glorious and exalted station, he would inhale, at a distance of a thousand leagues, the fragrance of God, and would perceive the resplendent morn of a Divine guidance rising above the Day spring of all things. Each and every thing, however small, would be to him a revelation. Leading him to his Beloved, the Object of his quest. So great shall be the discernment of this seeker that he will discriminate between truth and falsehood, even as he doth distinguish the sun from shadow. If in the uttermost corners of the East the sweet savors of God be wafted, he will assuredly recognize and inhale their fragrance, even though he be dwelling in the uttermost ends of the West.
