  Shouldn’t We Be More
  Advanced Than We Were in Lemuria?
  Q:    I think well, maybe where the conflict of
  understanding this about being advanced lies on that
  a great many of the people in Lemuria became Masters. In other words we’re not all way up high and then we all went down.
  Most of them went up. A:    Yes, sort
  of a continual evolution. All of
  us started out blank, knowing nothing. And that’s our 
	job, through opportunities to continue to work out our karma—the
  things we need to balance ourselves incarnation after incarnation. Those
  are the things that keep moving us forward. But all of us started out zero and some of us has made it
  to Mastership, and we’re following their clues, and it’s hard for you to know
  exactly how far you may have evolved. You may have in
  another lifetime, in another culture which was designed to more readily move
  persons from, let’s say, childhood through adulthood in a smooth way, without
  going through all kinds of neurotic responses and diminishing ways of doing
  things, have been able to get to several of advancement over, you know,
  however many hundreds upon hundreds of incarnations you’ve gone through, and
  maybe you’re one of those people who had their arm twisted on the astral
  plane to come down and help get things moving again to reestablish a civilization
  where people could more readily move towards the advancement that all of us
  need to have and want to have. Many of us here, of
  course, will not be able to enjoy, let’s say, the beginnings of The Nation of
  God ‘cause we’re going to be too old, but our children and our grandchildren
  will be the ones who will be able to stand on our shoulders from what we’ve
  produced and develop that Nation to a much better stage using the Philosophy,
  since it is in accordance with Natural Law to really get there. But then, you will have someplace really worthwhile to
  incarnate into later, so, what you’re working on now you can benefit from
  later. If nobody works on that, nobody bends their
  efforts to creating that Nation, then there’ll be almost nothing into which
  we can incarnate for a long period of time. But the
  Brotherhoods do see that it will become a success culminating in the Golden Age.  |
