How Do the Brotherhoods View Cultures?
QUESTION: People who become Initiates into a Brotherhood come from all over the world; from different countries and cultures. I was wondering if the Brotherhoods adopted one of those cultures within Their organization or do They somehow manage to create a different culture unique to the Brotherhoods?
RICHARD KIENINGER: Cultures are designed for people to get along with one another. That seems to be the main object. Technology, hopefully, increases comfort and security. I don’t think the Brotherhoods worry too much about comfort and security, but the whole study of karma really boils down to, “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” And karma, of course, exacts a penalty or gives a reward, depending on what you do relative to other people. So there is a kind of homogeneity within the structure of the Brotherhoods as to what is a good way to relate to one another.
Q: Is that based on Their agreement on the concept of karma? It seems the Golden Rule exists in a lot of different cultures, and yet they have different ways of communicating respectful social responses that vary from one culture to another. That’s why businessmen who try to go to other countries have to learn something about the culture, because things they might say could be innocuous or accepted or even expected in one country but could be offensive in another. I’m wondering how do the Brotherhoods communicate while working together with fellow Brothers from diverse cultures?
RK: I’d guess straightforwardly but with a politeness. You’re right, though. Different cultures believe that there are different ways of being polite, which is more ceremonious than anything else. I mean, the Chinese and Japanese have certain ceremonious ways of greeting one another and in communicating which are different from the way we in the West do things. The British often think that Americans aren’t very polite in our ways of doing things. We just come to the point right away instead of beating around the bush.
Q: I read so much that within existing countries the different ethnic groups are a constant source of conflict, and any attempts to put them under one government doesn’t seem to work. So I’m wondering how the Brotherhoods internally solve that problem? Because they have people from all over the world operating in one organization, and supposedly more smoothly than any organization that we know of. Maybe it’s just a matter of Their maturity.
RK: Any social convention
which greases the wheels of communication is great. Different places have come
up with different expected ways of doing things. Texans will greet each other
in a different way than people in
Q: I wonder if there is some kind of personal awareness that comes along with working toward the requirements for Brotherhood among those who plan to get to First Degree that leads to a kind of cultural independence?
RK: I think that is so.
Q: If an Initiate incarnates into a society that has all kinds of negative problems and he isn’t able to rise above that influence and become aware of his Initiate status again, when he dies, does he regain his Initiate status on the Astral Plane, or what happens to him?
RK: He would resume his Initiate status unless he did anything to result in a negative balance during the recent incarnation.
Q: If somebody says the Protective Prayer when they feel like they’re being harassed by negative spirits, and after saying the Protective Prayer the negative influence disappears, how does Christ or one of the Brotherhoods do that?
RK: I’ve always used the analogy of jamming the signal of the negative entity. The negative entity is sending a mental projection, and somebody in the Brotherhoods or higher up can block that by sending a stronger signal.
Q: They send an image of Their own?
RK: I don’t know about images. They just block the other image or projection.
Q: But that takes a present-time conscious effort by that Higher Being.
RK: Yes, right.
Q: They could be very busy at the time.
RK: There’s a lot of very busy negative entities, and it takes a lot of efforts to keep blocking them so long as a recipient wants them blocked. Some people sink into acceptance of negative images, and they’re not asking for protection. So the negative entities just continue to have their images received.
Q: Isn’t there a way a person could do that himself without asking for assistance from Higher Beings? Or is a negative entity always able to overpower a person?
RK: That’s not supposed to ever be able to happen. If a thought seems perverse to you, just put it out of your mind. If somebody is projecting a perverse thought to you, don’t accept it. Just think of something else or say, “That doesn’t fit me.”
Q: So theoretically, a person should be able to function without the outside protection.
RK: Certainly.
Q: By simply being aware that all those thoughts aren’t his.
RK: Right. Just think, “I’m not comfortable with these thoughts; I’m not going to dwell on them. I’ll think something else.”
Q: It sounds overly simple.
RK: It really is simple. When some kind of an idea comes to most people, they just have to pursue it to the bitter end, realizing it may be coming from outside themselves. You can’t tell where your thoughts are coming from. Most of them, of course, come from yourself, but thoughts originating outside oneself don’t have any kind of warning signs, such as, “This negative thought comes to you from a black mentalist.”
Q: So is there any way to exclusively maintain your own thoughts?
RK: I would like to hope so. People who are generally of a positive frame of mind, joyful and happy with who they are and with the things that they’re doing, they’re not touched by anything like that; by any negative thoughts being beamed at them.
Q: And another way is using the Protective Prayer.
RK: Right. That’s the way most people operate. A thought which is foreign or just too negative to think about, just don’t dwell on it. Then the thought just flits through the mind and disappears without influencing you. Say to yourself, “I’m not going to think about that.” But some people go to see horror movies like the Chain Saw Massacre. They’re prime targets for dwelling on negative ideas beamed at them.
Q: Along the lines of C.S. Lewis’ writings, if a negative entity really wanted to work on this person to get him off track, but the person is joyful, like you’re saying, and always maintains positive thoughts; the negative entity couldn’t directly get to the person by his thoughts. But could the entity get to him through other people?
RK: Oh, yes. There are people who are basically negative in their way of thinking. They’re hateful or fearful, and if they’re in your environment, the things that they do can influence you, particularly if you’re close to them. If somebody is habitually negative that way, just stay away from them.
Q: Can spirit mentalists do things like stopping you from getting the job you’re after, or if you have a certain income due to you keeping that from happening? Can they interfere to that extent?
RK: If those persons who are those avenues through which those things are coming to you are influenceable, then I would say yes, it could happen.
Q: When a person is able to control his environment well enough to avoid having negative people like that in their environment, then most bad things shouldn’t happen to them.
RK: Certainly minimized.
Q: So then you could assume that challenges in your life are probably growth opportunities for you to overcome rather than assume that you’re being blocked by negative entities.
RK: I think that’s a safe assumption. Unless you’re in direct competition with somebody who wants the same thing that you do, the world is wide open for anything that you want to create or do or for dreams that you’re trying to fulfill. Nobody’s going to be standing in your way.
Q: Do we ever come into incarnation where our life circumstances are designed for us rather than us having a part of the decision making on the Astral Plane?
RK: Whenever you incarnate, you incarnate into a time and place that already has a trend going. To that extent, I guess you could say the trend is being established by somebody other than you, and you’re putting yourself into it by incarnating then. But I don’t know that anybody designs an environment for you. You’re supposed to make your own oasis in the world, and when your life is comfortable and you’re doing the things that you want to do and in the way you want to do them, that’s pretty happy.
Q: But if you get to a point where things are pretty hunky dory and you think everything is okay, you may wonder if you are learning anything. So you decide to change that by asking for a challenge, but one that could make life uncomfortable. I remember reading many times that without adversity you don’t do much growing.
RK: That’s true, but also sometimes we need to rest a little—not for a decade though. It’s nice to get to a certain plateau and kind of consolidate there for a while before you take on something else rather than having everything dumped on you at once.
Q: But isn’t it possible that a person’s astral instructor would know that?
RK: Sure.
Q: But the person doing the asking doesn’t know that. Is he going to get it anyway?
RK: Yes. Because that’s the agreement you made before you incarnated. Any number of Higher Beings can act as a guide for you. And of course, you still have discussions with Them, especially when you’re asleep. The goals you set up for yourself to learn before you incarnated, some Higher Being remembers them. If nothing else, They can always look at the Akashic Record. You set up the challenge that you want to take on because of all the things that you’re going to learn by it. And They’ll make sure that it happens. But in many cases, They’ll set opportunities alongside your path. It’s usually not a stumbling block that you can’t avoid. You have to decide to accept and undertake the challenge. You may say to yourself, “This keeps coming up. Maybe I’d better face it now and see what I can do with it.”
Q: It seems to me that praying the Rosary or any repetitive prayer might be similar to the Violet Screen meditation. You’re praying one prayer after the other. You’re putting yourself in a state of no brain chatter and in a quiet state. Are there similarities? Is that a good thing to do?
RK: Repetitive prayer is almost a form of blanking. Not the same as the Violet Screen. You can mumble yourself into a state of kind of non-existence so far as consciousness is concerned.
Q: Prayer seems to kind of keep you out of that non-existent state, but there seems to me to be some similarities there.
RK: Prayer without thought is meaningless. There are people in the world who spin prayer wheels and finger beads and all those kinds of things. Each bead is supposed to mean something, but it’s so by rote it’s just essentially blanking. I think Shakespeare said, “Prayers without thought never go to Heaven,” because if it’s just something you repeat mindlessly over, it becomes meaningless.
Q: I can add something to that. I was brought up as a Catholic and said the rosary more times than I care to admit. And since joining The Adelphi Organization, I’ve also tried the Violet Screen meditation, so I have actual experience in both of those areas, and I would say that there’s no resemblance at all as far as the benefits or similarity of experience.
RK: I’ll agree to that also.
Q: When you’re trying to learn and assimilate new information, what makes you tired? Does your brain get tired? Do you get mentally tired? Is maintaining that focus what makes you tired? Sometimes I feel I’ve assimilated as much as I can. I’ve got to let it go for a little bit. What creates that tired feeling?
RK: I don’t know. It seems like nothing sinks in instantly, and struggling to understand is frustrating, if nothing else. I don’t know if it’s necessarily physically tiring, but if you’re not getting anywhere, you think, “I’ve got to do something else.” And I think that’s kind of what’s happening.
Q: The reason we’re tired is because we don’t eat the right nutrition in our food. Cayce, in all his readings, he said poor assimilation and poor elimination are the two main things he told every patient he had. So it’s up to us to get the right nutrition—have a good garden and raise our own food.
RK: I agree with that. Otherwise, you don’t know what you’re getting. It’s the only way you know what you’re eating.
Q: That’s right. Most food in the store is irradiated or processed or in some way has had the life destroyed out of it. Does that mean with excellent nutrition you could reach a state where if you’re writing something that really requires a lot of thought and/or learning new material, it would get to where it would not tire you? It would not be like work, so to speak?
RK: Well, learning something by rote is not all that difficult. Penetrating to an understanding of things is something else again. What are your habits of thought? In this particular case, how rational are you in your ways of processing information? And if you don’t have a good habit of doing that, well, it’s going to be hard work to try and understand much of anything. I really don’t know what the mechanism is, except if you keep hammering away at something and you’re not getting anywhere, you get frustrated. And I think it’s a feeling of frustration. “This is too much; I’ve got to do something else.” The brain doesn’t really take that much energy away from you. It’s not like it’s suddenly drawing all the oxygen into your brain and there’s nothing left elsewhere. The process isn’t the same as muscles. One of the big problems, too, is that there is so much less oxygen in the atmosphere now than there was fifty years ago that it makes it difficult to be healthy. You can get the right food and everything else, but you need oxygen in your system. A lot of people who live in the center of cities are really oxygen starved. So that’s another major factor over which we have virtually no control. Unless you buy a tank of oxygen.
Q: This is a question on
the ability to control one’s environment. Is it true that Christ said that the
RK: Well, all things are available to us, but you have to make some effort to get them. Human beings have been surviving for a long, long time in a lot of different places and in different cultures, and they all seem to be able to live day by day. However, what their aspirations are can be very different from one place to another.
Q: Oh, yeah. It’s not to say that there’s not an effort that you have to make. But if you fall down, you will eventually have to get up; therefore, you know you’re going to get up. So you accept that and trust in yourself and your ability to always provide for yourself.
RK: I can agree with that.
It’s also true that the
Q: If you get an idea and you think about somebody who would be valuable to help work on the idea and plan, but you don’t want to interfere—
RK: Just talk to them. Otherwise, if you’re secretly aiming certain intentions at an individual in your Mind, you’re getting involved with sorcery. Another way is to put out into the universe a request for a partner without any specific person in mind. Then you’re simply putting forth your thought into the world that somebody else may possibly pick up on and somehow make a connection with you.
Are Saints Evened Out As Far as Astrological Signs?
Q: Would you say saints are pretty evenly divided between being born in all the astrological signs, or would you say there are more in a few signs?
RK: They’re pretty well evened out.
Q: IQ is considered a level of intelligence, and we’re all capable of having very high IQ’s, and we can develop that along the way. But is our level of IQ in our physical life a measure of what our potential is on the Astral Plane?
RK: Your intelligence while incarnate depends largely on what happened to you in the first six years of your life. If you were mostly ignored and restricted, you’re not going to be very bright. But if some caretaker knows all the stages of neurological development of the brain of an infant and stimulates them at that proper time—I’ve been told by one of my Teachers that what is today an IQ of 200 should be normal. Which means that somebody who’s really bright is maybe 300 on today’s scale. But not many people have been properly stimulated as an infant.
Q: So the level of Egoic intelligence would probably relate to what we’re having to go through in incarnations?
RK: Right. Mentation builds overall Egoic growth and knowledge and wisdom.
Q: We may have had a higher level IQ in a previous incarnation?
RK: Certainly. If I’m trying to find some kind of measure of comparative intelligence in our culture, we base that on verbal ability. But there are many other forms of intelligence besides what we call IQ. People who are born in the Amazon jungle are able to survive until old age, and they have to know an awful lot. And they could never pass an IQ test, no matter what language you translated it into, because that’s not the way they’ve been trained to think. But they are very intelligent. As a matter of fact, you would probably last three days at the most if you were transported into the middle of the Amazon jungle. And that’s it. There’s a lot of dangers, a lot of things to look out for, a lot of ways to find food that you wouldn’t recognize. And there’s emotional intelligence, as well.
Q: Emotional intelligence? Could you explain that more? I’ve never heard of that.
RK: There are ways of responding more intelligently to things. Who wants to be constantly on the end of an emotional yo-yo? You have trained yourself to have a more intelligent way of responding to things and putting things into perspective, rather than just being blown about by the winds of your gut responses. Some people are more emotionally intelligent than others.
Q: What about stages of brain development? Can you go through the approximate years those stages happen in a child?
Q: After a person reaches 14, 21, in my experience, there seems to be an approximately seven-year switch or awareness change or different way of thinking. And I just wondered if you had anything to say about after a person is 28, and so forth. Does that continue?
RK: Yeah, there’s another change at 35, and another at 42. It has to do more with perceptions. There’s a holographic image that we as Egos carry as to the structure of the Universe. Now, I’m not talking about stars and atoms; I’m talking about what is the Universe like. Where do we reside from one stage to the next? Like Angelic, and Archangelic existence. It’s built into every Ego to aspire to certain kinds of things, and God built that into every Ego. Everybody has the same built-in aspiration—to unify with or connect with our Creator. To be like the Father, as it were. And we as Egos have a holographic overall perception of the whole plan. It seems like those seven-year stages allow for a little further breakthrough into understanding, but never while in incarnation are you able to break through into that holographic image. Masters have it. So at least They know where They’re headed and why as well as the exciting adventure ahead at each stage. The Universe beyond the physical is far more beautiful than this beautiful planet that we’re on in both perceptions of what beauty is and an awareness of goodness; real goodness. It’s awfully hard to explain it. Words can’t describe it. So it’s that old escape hatch, of being ineffable.
Q: Is that cosmic consciousness when the person at any stage or level breaks through and begins to understand the Universe?
RK: Cosmic consciousness is a brain technique. It’s a combination of mystic awareness and clairvoyance. And both of those have to do with your Egoic Mind’s control of your brain.
Q: Could you say that the hologram you were just describing is an imprint that we all carry?
RK: Yes. It’s a setup by God. He gave you certain powers of Mind and no others. The ones He gave you are all you will ever have. It all depends on how well you develop them as you rise through the various planes of existence. The aspirations that were given to you were set up also. You don’t have other built-in aspirations. That’s the one He gave you, to be one with Him, and so you keep moving in that direction.
Q: So that’s a universal truth then?
RK: Absolutely universal. We can’t gain any further potentials other than what we were given when we were created. And so I say, it’s a setup. He fixed it so that eventually you will become one with Him and do the same kinds of things for other human Egos as time goes by that He did in the beginning. So we become co-creators with Him. That doesn’t mean we’re not co-creators already with Him, but certainly at a less sophisticated level than what God is able to do. So we’re all set up to eventually move in the right direction; but our culture tends to screw us up. So we have to overcome our culture.
Q: The people who work in the mass media influence the attitudes and beliefs of children, teenagers and adults. Would they be acquiring bad karma when what they produce affects people and our culture negatively?
RK: All too much of the media’s influence is destructive, so there’s got to be some kind of karmic penalty for that. They do what they do in order to serve their own selfish ends or the selfish ends of those who pay them to do what they do. But it’s not to the benefit of everybody.
Q: One time you said that people evolved to be Masters before Lemuria was even started.
RK: No.
Q: I thought you said that Masters had evolved.
RK: No. There were Elders. Elders had evolved. That means some who were perhaps equal to the Adept stage, but there weren’t any Masters yet. Not until after the first civilization began did Earth actually evolve Masters.
Q: But some had already evolved to be Adepts.
RK: Right. And that’s the way it should be—naturally automatic for everyone.
Q: And so because they had no culture to overcome, so to speak, they just did it all naturally, without it being so difficult?
RK: I think that had a lot to do with it. Because in order to fit in with the way the culture today has evolved, the way we were trained by our parents and by everybody in the culture—this is what you must do and how to do it and what to believe, and if you don’t believe it, you’re a heretic or something. At least we’re not burning people at the stake anymore for not agreeing with the majority beliefs.
Q: Is there an ideal process that I could consciously enter into to think? to process information?
RK: Did you have geometry in high school? Well, one of the major advantages to taking that course is it teaches you how to think. Because you have to come up with a logical sequence in order to get from here to there. And maybe it wasn’t easy, but it will teach you. Same thing with algebra. Setting up a word problem then solving it. Both examples of learning how to think. And thinking, I guess, is deciding how to get from this point to that point and then taking various alternatives and deciding which one of those is going to be the best and then how to do it. If you have goals set up in your mind of what you want to accomplish, you have to have a plan. And if you don’t have a plan, you’re never going to get there. Geometry, incidentally, teaches you how to get from where you are to where your plans become reality. And then you have to have real faith that what you do and what you think and the action you put into place is going to produce the results that you anticipate. Sometimes you have to adjust your thinking as you go along because it wasn’t exact, or you may run into a block somewhere. But nobody gets anywhere without a life plan. However sloppy that life plan may be, you don’t get anywhere without it.
Q: Adelphi is celebrating its 25th year. I imagine that you would not think that we have arrived as far as you originally intended us to be at this point in time. But given the thirty-some people who are living here now, I think we’ve accomplished quite a bit, and we’ve built quite a bit with these few people. So there’s two parts to my question. How do you feel about that? Do you think we’ve done a lot?
RK: I’ve never been satisfied. I mean, I’m amazed that we started this outfit with only $100. Now it’s worth a million and-a-half dollars.
Are Geniuses Frustrated by Nature?
Q: In orientation, we were watching a Glenn Doman tape, and he said people tend to stereotype geniuses, and one of the stereotypes or labels that they use is that they’re very frustrated people. He said, “You’re darn right; and well they should be. They’re frustrated because they see things that are not the way they ought to be. And they get frustrated that they can’t make them the way they ought to be fast enough. So they’re never going to be satisfied.” So maybe that’s good.
RK: I would like to warn people that just because they feel frustrated does not mean they’re a genius.
Q: I heard the same tape, and the distinction Doman made was that the non-geniuses are also frustrated about things, but they never do anything about it, whereas the genius will start taking action to fix whatever he is frustrated about. And of course, once that’s solved, then they go on to something else.
RK: I guess being a self-starter is part of that. If you just wait around for somebody to do it for you, it’s never going to happen. But here’s a whole community of people who are looking for a better way to do things and have taken action in order to make that happen for themselves, and we’ve got thirty-something friendly people here. So I think they’re moving in the direction they want to go, and they still have further goals that they want to accomplish.
Q: The Ultimate Frontier speaks of a Golden Age to be started. Do you think that began with the Aquarian Age or will it not occur until the Nation of God is begun? Or are we starting it in Adelphi in a small way?
RK: Well, obviously, this is not the Golden Age. I guess there can be small oases getting close to a Golden Age. I’d like to think that this is one of those places. The Golden Age is supposed to be worldwide, and seers have been talking about it from many different backgrounds for a long time. They say this now is the age of the Kaliuga—the closing of a negative period. There is a cycle that is supposed to last about 26,000 years.
Q: So we’ve had Golden Ages in the past.
RK: Yes. Lemuria started out in a Golden Age. But of course, they still had conflicts and wars and other problems of that sort, even back in those days as civilization got started 78,000 years ago.
Q: Will there be total freedom from disease in the Golden Age?
RK: If there won’t be a Food & Drug Administration or an American Medical Association, I guess people will have a chance to be healthy. Through widespread vulcanism, we’re to have a natural re-enriching of the soil with the things necessary to have really healthy plants, which of course will produce healthy animals because they will then eat healthy plants. But right now, you have to add an awful lot of things to the soil in order to have all the micro-minerals that are necessary.
Q: This life force, or Prana, that circles around the Earth from west to east and keeps everything alive, is that just for the Earth, or is it for the whole Universe?
RK: Just for the Earth.
Q: I wish I could learn how to store or accumulate Prana.
RK: Even the Great Pyramid is able to focus it, or any shape that is the same shape as the Great Pyramid. You can store Prana in crystals by mental intention, and you have to take it out mentally. It’s all a matter of mental intention.
Q: You have to pay attention to what you’re doing.
RK: Right. You pay attention by intention.
Q: But you have to know what it is to control it; right?
RK: Well, not necessarily.
Q: Just imagining it is enough?
RK: Without knowing in detail what it is, you can say, “Well, it’s there; I know it’s there; I know I can store it. I will store it.”
Q: So what is Prana?
RK: It’s an energy that’s part of the Etheric Plane. A life energy.
Q: It also supports the Vital Body, correct?
RK: Supports it. Prana has an action from the Etheric Plane on living cells. It’s not an easy concept to try to describe. And I don’t want to give false impressions of what it is either. Our bodies are kind of an accumulator and a focus of what they call Prana. Some people in some cultures relate it to the breath energy, and they say once breath ceases, that’s it. Everybody dies of a heart attack, of course, inability to breathe any longer. So that’s not a clear picture either. But it exists within—it’s real, but it’s not on the physical plane.
Q: Okay. So it doesn’t exist on the physical plane, but it’s real, and you can mentally store Prana in crystals.
RK: It has to be certain shaped crystals. Quartz is the best. And there are many jewels which are really quartz based. There’s something about the shape of the quartz crystal, particularly the point of it, which concentrates it.
Q: The molecular structure of quartz is silica and oxygen?
RK: It’s the shape of the crystal. An individual atom of silicon dioxide ain’t gonna do it. It’s how they’ve built themselves into a structure. But water can do the same thing. You’ve heard of holy water, haven’t you? Holy water actually has Prana in it, and it has Prana in it because somebody has directed it into that water. So water is a liquid crystal, and silicon dioxide forms certain shapes which makes it possible to store Prana in it, but it doesn’t store Prana all by itself. The human mind has to direct it into that.
Q: So of what use is a crystal that has Prana stored in it?
RK: Concentrated healing energy. Healers like to use them.
Q: How?
RK: I’ve seen most of them just pointing the point of the crystal at a patient and willing the Prana back out of the crystal. It works for them. Of course, if they hadn’t put any Prana in it and stored it up to give it higher energy, it’s not going to be there.
Q: Do you have to concentrate for one hour on this rock?
RK: Maybe. Just visualize the collection of Prana from the surrounding atmosphere into the crystal. Our minds have a lot more power than most of us give ourselves credit for.
Q: Would you say that the human body is also an accumulator for Prana?
RK: I’d say so, yes.
Q: So if a person just focused Prana on his own body, can he bypass the crystal?
RK: For some strange reason, that doesn’t seem to work as well. Anybody else can move the Prana to you in a healing way, and that’s much better than you can do for yourself. Maybe that’s telling us we need other persons for our optimum health and well-being.
Q: So does the same thing apply when a person is trying to heal another? Would he necessarily need a crystal?
RK: You don’t need the crystal.
Q: You can move the Prana directly?
RK: Yes, directly.
Q: So it’s just what you’d spoken of before—just directing healing thoughts toward another person?
RK: Right. We’re all healers. Mothers in particular are healers, mainly because they have little ones who obviously can’t take care of themselves yet.
Q: At what point do you think that a mother should start using the proviso if she wants to direct healing thoughts to her son?
RK: She doesn’t have to think about it. All she wants to do is to heal the little one, or soothe him in some way. And it works very well. She doesn’t have to know that there’s Prana or visualize where it’s coming from or how it’s done. All she has to do is have the intention. We’re back to intention again. But a great many of the healers like to use crystals because their patients realize, “Hey, there’s something being done here. He’s putting stuff out of this crystal into me.” He doesn’t really need it. But it is a way of intensifying it. There isn’t anybody here, I don’t think, who hasn’t done healing at one time or another.
Q: If you use your hands in a certain way, will that help?
RK: Or you can use a wand. Those are just outward manifestations that you’re doing something.
Q: But it might help.
RK: Well, if it helps, fine. That’s what it’s about. It may have a beneficial psychological effect on the patient.
Q: You can visualize something coming out of your hands into a person.
RK: There’s an exercise you can do in near darkness. By holding the fingers of your opposing hands so there’s an inch gap between them, you’ll eventually begin to see a glow beginning to move between your fingertips. Try it before you laugh. Raking your fingers alongside of a person’s body is a very effective healing technique. You can pull all kinds of stuff out of a bad knee, for instance, in that way.
Q: Can you do it for yourself?
RK: No. You can do it for another person, and another person can do it for you. I don’t know why that limitation exists.
Q: Are we talking about the same energy, then, that Christ used in healing?
RK: No, He used Mind. He could create things. If somebody lopped off an ear, He would actually create an ear.
Q: If somebody was blind or if somebody had leprosy, Christ knew how to heal it instantly. How did He do that?
RK: As an
Q: But He said we have the same powers and will do the same things He did.
RK: Eventually, yes.
Q: The Apostles evidently picked up on it and were able to do it.
RK: Well, they didn’t do quite the same things that Christ did. Raising the dead and things like that is pretty tricky stuff and definitely reserved to advanced beings.
Q: In Mutant Message Down Under, an Aborigine fell off a cliff and broke his leg. Then the other Aborigines ran their hands over it, but not directly on the victim’s leg, and it was healed instantly because of their belief in being able to do it. Isn’t that correct? Whereas we don’t believe that we can heal that quickly.
RK: Faith is only part of the answer, but admittedly an important part. They were also using a healing spirit on the other side to do stuff like that. That’s psychic healing, which is controlled by an entity on the other side. Either a negative or positive entity can do that, when called upon.
Developing the Thinking Process
Q: When you were talking about the thinking process and algebra, wouldn’t another thinking process be inductive and deductive reasoning?
RK: Why not?
Q: I can’t think of any reason why not; that’s why I’m asking. That would certainly be another example. And then when you were talking about the pyramid, I can’t remember who was interviewed on a talk radio show, but they gave directions on how to make a pyramid, and you could hang it on the ceiling in your bedroom for better health. Would that pyramid create power somehow?
RK: Well, it concentrates and focuses Prana and they call it pyramid energy.
Q: People who climb on top of pyramids say their hair will stand up straight.
RK: That’s just because of how high you are. It’s not from fright or spiritual powers.
Q: It’s not from pyramid energy?
RK: No. That’s because of the electrostatic potential which bleeds off the point of the pyramid. Every foot that you are above the surface of the Earth has a certain electric potential. It’s a small charge per foot, but it adds up significantly when you’re hundreds of feet up. It’s what ultimately causes lightning.
Q: So is that a positive for our bodies or what?
RK: I don’t know. It’s fairly neutral, so far as I’m concerned.
Q: Why have we never felt that in a tall building or in a plane?
RK: If you were on the outside, you would, but you’re always inside. And an airplane doesn’t quite do the same thing in the same way. It’s got to be connected to the ground in order for the electrostatic potential to be there.
Q: Would you say there’s a several-step process where your immune system gets weakened which allows other things to happen, would a first cause be mental?
RK: I don’t know about any mental attitude that will overcome cyanide. So there are some drastic things. But you don’t know what you’re eating half the time. You go to the store and you buy whatever they put on the shelves, and they themselves don’t know what’s in it. And there’s a lot of things that at one time were considered very healthful and they’ve since discovered have had a disastrous effect in the long range. For many years on the radio and early TV, we were told that smoking tobacco was good for your health. Do you believe that now? Nobody else does. But it was being put out there then that it had beneficial effects. I believe that everybody these days suffers from diminished immune function in this country. So, you know, you have to pay some attention to the kinds of things that you know you are being exposed to and minimize them and treat your body to things which strengthen immune function. We’re a couple hundred million guinea pigs in this country, and companies experiment with their products on us, and they don’t know the eventual outcome of this and that new thing. Some people hang a new shower curtain and are sick for a couple of weeks afterwards and they don’t know why. Because it’s the amount of vinyl chloride that gets in the air and stays in the house for a while. Not good.
Q: The last one I bought, I hung it in my garage for about a week just to air it out.
RK: If it were all polymerized, it wouldn’t be much of a problem. But it’s the monomer that gets you.
What Are the Problems with Food Irradiation?
Q: Some on the markets now irradiate their food to keep better, but it kills the enzymes. How bad is the food when it’s irradiated?
RK: We don’t know how bad or good it is yet. It takes ten or twenty years of exposure to some of these things before you see any results. There’s no question that the various molecules that make up the food itself have been altered to some extent. How bad, we just don’t know yet. We have to be experimented on for the next ten or twenty years to see what the results are.
Q: I think people are getting weakened by it.
RK: It’s been my contention for some time that we are all in a weakened state. You need all of your vitamins and minerals.
Q: When I reincarnate, can I pick my same mom again?
RK: If she’s in incarnation, yes.
Q: If I start to tithe ten percent of my income from age ten, will I be rich when I become a man?
RK: If you saved the other ninety percent—but you have to work, too.
Q: I’ve always had this thought that the Vital Body was seen as an outline. If a clairvoyant saw the Vital Body, would he be able to see each of the organs distinctly in a silhouette form? Is that what he would be looking at?
RK: I’m going to try to describe this as best I can. Clairvoyance is all mental. You don’t have to have eyes in order to be able to be clairvoyant. You can decide which layer you want to look at as you’re observing a body. In which event you would be able to see organs. Otherwise, you just see a healthy-looking overall coloration. If there’s a bright green, very thin layer of light around the individual, then you know that everything is all well. But sometimes, around certain parts of the body, there will be brownish, or lack of light, in which event you can correlate that with an organ that’s nearby. That can give you some clues.
Q: Is the soul part of the subconscious mind?
RK: No.
Q: They’re actually separate?
RK: The subconscious is a brain function, not a Mind function.
Q: But the soul is—is there another name for the soul, or how would you describe it?
RK: “Ego” is what we use, which is a whole package of Mind powers that all of us have, which also has memory as part of it. But the Ego, the Overself, is what’s running your body. It runs your body through your brain and through other chakras. But mostly through the brain.
Q: Yoga people talk to what they say is the subconscious mind. Is that actually the soul or the subconscious mind they give suggestions to?
RK: It’s their Mind talking to their brain.
Q: Well, brains have a Mind?
RK: Everything that’s ever happened to you, everything you’ve ever seen or heard, is recorded someplace in your amazing brain. I’m not going to pick on you as being especially amazing; everybody’s brain is amazing. If all that information was in your awake consciousness all the time, it would just be a vast clutter of noise. So you want to deal with only some specific thoughts and be able to focus on one thing at a time. That means everything else is kept below conscious awareness. And some of it is buried so deep it becomes unretrievable and is part of what they call the sub-conscious. But those buried memories still have an effect on your life. Everybody’s past experiences color what their persona is and how they respond to people in various situations. But you can’t necessarily put your finger on each and every aspect of that influence from your past, so it stays below the level of consciousness. As you say, it is sub-conscious. But it’s there. And under certain circumstances, that information can be dredged up so you can look at it. That’s what psychotherapy is supposed to do. And there’s ways you can do that on your own. But it has nothing to do with the soul. All of us are better than who we appear to be. Because of our experience from past lives, we hope we can bring that wisdom to some level of consciousness in this incarnation in order to be of value to us. But we operate to a great extent on the basis of conditioned reflex, and that conditioned reflex is based on what has happened to us and our responses to what happened to us.
Q: Can you actually talk to your soul?
RK: If you’re awake, that’s your soul, your Egoic Mind, functioning. When you’re talking, that’s your soul talking. If you want to talk to yourself, I guess that’s fine. At least you’ll get some polite answers.
Q: Is there a certain point when a human being or, say, a higher-than-that being, when he doesn’t really have a subconscious or soul conscious?
RK: Well, a Fourth Degree Brother is supposed to be able to dredge up whatever he needs whenever he needs it. But he wouldn’t want to have all of that vast clutter going through his consciousness all the time. He has to use a conscious filter in order to concentrate.
Q: Do muscular armorings affect us though the subconscious, or how do they affect us?
RK: They’re blocks to consciousness. We have body muscle memory closely associated to brain neurologic memory. And the two can work in conjunction with one another to have an influence, both positive and negative. Mostly, we’re concerned about the negative things that come from so-called muscular armoring, and that’s a protective device to make us more tolerable to ourselves. Guilts and fears are very frequently encapsulated in muscular armorings. And therapists who can break through those muscular armorings will dredge up a whole bunch of stuff from one’s memory.
Q: Such as through craniosacral work and that kind of thing, as well?
RK: Well, you don’t have to have muscular armorings for craniosacral to work. But I guess it can be useful to some extent in that regard. But I’ve gone through Radix, as well as quite a few other people here, and it’s astonishing the mental images that do come up when somebody is forcefully kneading your muscles. I guess my primary response to all of that stuff was astonishment that it would work that way. But again, Radix does not seem to be a cure-all. Mentation on your own part is the best thing in the world for overcoming your problems, but Radix is a key. It just opens certain doors for you, but you have to go through that door and change yourself on the basis of the information that comes up from your own subconscious.
Q: Would the Violet Screen meditation be a method of doing that then?
RK: Not really, but it’s a great quieting system.
Q: How would you relate the word spirit in the discussion on soul and Overself?
RK: Some of those words that we use in the English language have such a burden of side connotations, it’s hard to know what words are valuable to use. We say soul, Ego, Overself, spirit; they’re all kind of interchangeable in most people’s minds, but there is a distinction between those words; otherwise, we wouldn’t have separate words. Spirit has to do with who you are; how you act; how much energy you have; what your attitudes are. And much of that is due to Egoic experience. So to that extent, I guess spirit can refer to the Ego. And soul is the knowledge your Ego has acquired and knows from experience in many incarnations, the vast majority of which you have not brought forward into this lifetime’s brain. So that’s part of your spirit.
Q: When you have a case of déjà vu, a lot of times could you say that’s from remembering something that’s impressed on your brain as you were coming out of a dream state; is that correct?
RK: Right.
Q: But you’re seeing the future in that case?
RK: Right. But you were probably seeing the future Akashic Record much more coherently and extensively before your alarm clock called you into brain consciousness again.
Q: Is it also possible at that point to be seeing things that happened to you in past lives?
RK: On the Astral Plane, which is where your Ego is while your body is asleep, the Akashic Record is available both forward and backwards in time. So you could be reviewing something that actually happened in the past in considerable detail, but yes, you could bring some of that into awareness as you’re awakening.
Q: Do you think that happens very much?
RK: I really don’t know how frequently. I have no conscious awareness of that ever happening with me. But that doesn’t mean it hasn’t. I’m pretty groggy when I first wake up after the alarm goes off.
Q: We’re so interested in the Astral Plane right now, I wanted to ask another question about it. When we’re asleep, our Egos rest on the Astral Plane?
RK: I wouldn’t say you’re resting. Consciousness never ceases.
Q: Do we intermingle with those Egos who have transitioned to the Astral Plane?
RK: You might, but it’s rare. The level we’re at on the Astral Plane while our body is asleep is really not the same level as those discarnate Egos. For lack of better terminology, your vibration is not really all that in tune with the upper or lower Astral Plane. You’re usually more aware of things which are in your neighborhood, and sometimes you stay Egoically in the same room as your body when you’re asleep. You’re not projected into Heaven when you sleep. Yes, you’re on the Astral Plane, but it’s a different vibrational level than when you’re discarnate altogether. Teachers can make Themselves available to your Ego when you’re asleep at least once a month, most of which you don’t remember when you come into consciousness again in the morning.
Q: Sometimes people wake up with ideas and insights. Could that be the result of maybe dreaming of the future or maybe having a Teacher there, or something like that?
RK: Well, if you have a problem which is really distressing you or you have considerable impetus to resolve a concern in your daily life, some of that drags over into your dream state. Your dream state can be influenced by your Overself, or Ego, and sometimes there are pretty reasonable answers to be drawn upon as you awaken. I don’t know that it necessarily works every time for everybody, but on occasion, it’s still pretty amazing.
Q: So would that be like a more objective view of a problem you’re dealing with, from your Ego’s point of view?
RK:
Probably not. Just because the question is posed on the Astral Plane doesn’t
mean that all of a sudden you become very wise or omniscient. People carry on
their same attitudes and views of things on the Astral Plane as when they’re on
the physical. So that’s a negatively moderating influence. If you could be sure
you were tapping into Divine knowledge, that would be
fine. Your personality, your attitudes, your Ego are
all influencing your understanding of that kind of information. Maybe it’s
right and maybe it’s not. You have to test everything.
Q: Talking about our Overselves, our soul, Mind, Ego, and consciousness, we’re always observing and learning, living our life, and always figuring things out. The entity who figures things out—I don’t know if I’m calling it right; that would be the “I” to me, the observer, the liver of the life. Is that separate from these terms that we’ve been discussing, or would you say that the Ego is the “I” entity?
RK: I would say it’s a combination of things. Your brain is perfectly capable of solving problems strictly on the brain level. The incentive for posing the question is Egoic. But dogs can figure out solutions to problems. I clearly remember a small dog trying to get through a picket fence. He could fit through, but he was carrying a stick in his mouth. It didn’t take him too long before he figured out if he turned his head sideways, he could get through with it. So that’s problem solving, and that requires a certain type of intelligence. And we humans certainly have that same ability. A dog doesn’t have an Ego, but he has a brain. So I guess we have to say some kinds of things are strictly brain operations and some things are kind of assisted by the Ego. One of the characteristics of Ego is will, and that’s what drives us to go through the effort of solving a problem.
Q: Are we speaking of a bundle of energy or characteristics operating through the person to constitute the “I”, the entity that lives in the body?
RK: Ego, by definition, is a bundle of mental energy, and that energy is a part of what is the equivalent of the electromagnetic spectrum of the physical plane. Ego is part of the electromagnetic spectrum of the Fourth Plane that is analogous to the physical plane’s spectrum.
Q: And Ego perceives its own existence?
RK: Right. One of the most fantastic things is how that energy is able to perceive itself. Some people think there is a similar phenomenon in that a collection of atoms in the brain of a scientist is able to perceive what an atom is. So that’s a supposition that an arrangement of atoms has consciousness, and I don’t believe that. However, an energy on the Fourth Plane of Existence is what makes Mind power, and consciousness is one of its characteristics.
Q: I have been studying astrology enough to believe that there is an influence from planets on us. I assume from what you’ve said before that physical life on a planet ends when all the people achieve Mastership. And I was wondering if there was more influence on us through these planets when their inhabitants were in physical incarnation, or is it about the same when they’re all dead and they’ve achieved higher spiritual levels?
RK: I’ll get to that, but I’m going to ask a question to clarify the answer. How do you feel about the idea that every human being associated with this planet, incarnate or discarnate, their mental activities have an influence on your mental activities?
Q: I think that makes sense. We’re like antennas or something.
RK: Well, my Teachers were pretty adamant about the idea that the power of Mind is able to be experienced by the Higher Beings instantaneously regardless of where God is. It’s a very big Universe. And the Godhead has to be someplace. And if we want to pray to God, can we wait three million light years to get an answer back to our prayer? Well, obviously, we can’t. It’s kind of like applying pressure to a liquid. That pressure is distributed throughout that liquid instantaneously and undiminished, because the liquid is not compressible to any real extent, even though it’s just a whole bunch of atoms bouncing around. The same sort of thing happens with our Minds. Our Mind power is not limited by the inverse square of diminishment of radiation as other radiating things are on this physical plane. Our Minds’ thoughts penetrate to the farthest reaches of the Universe instantaneously, undiminished. So your thoughts have an influence on people in other galaxies. I don’t want you to get a swelled head over that. Because you’re one of quadrillions of quadrillions of Egos throughout the Universe. And they all have an influence on everybody on their planet, and they have as much influence on you and this planet as you have on them on their planet. Now, you are one influence among incredible trillions; so in the aggregate, what human Egos think about, do, their dreams, their thoughts, negative and positive, all have to be taken together as to their influence. Now we’re talking about a universal question, which if I understand you correctly, if nobody is incarnate on a planet any longer because everybody has achieved Mastership, does that planet still have the same influence on us astrologically? Well, yes; mainly because it has to do with things related to gravity and electromagnetic radiations. And that doesn’t diminish. So where are all of these Egos now that they’ve made Mastership as human beings; where do They go after They’re all Masters? They don’t go anywhere; They stay with Their planet even though They’re not incarnating any longer. However, all planets are part of a solar system. When all the human Egos have made mastership on all the planets of a given solar system, then the star goes nova and all of those human Egos are described as Thirteenth Degree, and They all live together with Their Angelic Host on the core of the star that went nova, waiting for a progression of the lifewaves. That may be somewhat complicated, but everybody’s got to be somewhere. I hope that answers your question.
Q: When we incarnate, can we come back as an animal or a plant?
RK: No. That’s part of the Hindu idea of transmigration of souls, meaning that a person can essentially be the same as a bear, or an ant, or an elephant or something of that sort. And one example is that if you live a life of gluttony, then you’re bound to come back as a pig the next incarnation, but that’s really not so. Human Egos can only occupy human bodies.
Q: Edgar Cayce, in his last prediction, said that God is ready for the new kingdom, but the civilization of people have to be ready before we can get God’s Kingdom on Earth. Is that true?
RK: Absolutely. God’s been ready since day one, but the
Q: I know. Evil, too.
RK: I’m sorry to say that there are an awful lot of evil people in this country. Fortunately, the vast number of Americans are not evil. Mostly it’s the people who want to become in charge of everybody who tend to be the evil ones.
Q: I understand your Teachers warned against doing any type of exorcism. And I understand that the Catholic Church, back around the `60’s or `70’s or so, kind of laid down the law that priests were not to do that anymore. Is that right?
RK: I’ve heard that, but I don’t know that for a certainty. Negative entities, for a long, long time, have had considerable influence over many in leadership of the Catholic Church. I’m not picking on just the Catholic Church. Most of the hierarchy of most of the churches tend to be highly influenced by evil and the ambitions that go along with that. I have known all along, though, that any priest that was trained as an exorcist could not be a parish priest. He could not have a congregation. So he was kind of a floating helper for whoever needed him. And an exorcist could not become a bishop either.
Q: And
does exorcising really take a toll on the body?
RK:
Yeah. It’s an exhausting procedure. The infesting entity is not necessarily
present. Sometimes it’s a problem of dealing at a great distance with the entity
that’s obsessing or possessing the victim. So you never know as an exorcist
what degree of power the controlling spirit has. He may have been someone who
was close to Masterships and decided to work on the darker side instead, and he
may have an awful lot of mental abilities that may far exceed the exorcist’s
ability. And the only protection, really, that the exorcist has is his courage
and his invoking the intercession of Jesus Christ. If he doesn’t have those two
items, he cannot succeed as an exorcist. But he also has to have a great deal
of physical and spiritual stamina to go through the process, because it can
take literally days to exorcise the influence of a negative entity, which it
essentially accomplishes through telepathic hypnosis. But that’s how you run
your own brain anyway, so every Ego has hypnotic control. It may sound strange
to use that particular term, but it’s precisely identical to how another Ego
can interfere in the control of your brain. And it’s usually done
telepathically.
Q: You
have to invite it; don’t you?
RK: You can invite it through alcoholism or drug use, too, without ever asking for somebody to control you.
Q: To take some of the fear away from that, isn’t it true that we can’t just all of a sudden be taken over by a spirit without having indulged in negative thoughts or a chemical imbalance or asked for it?
RK: Right. You have to open yourself. Of course, the person who practices Satanism or witchcraft is making a conscious choice to deal with so-called powerful negative spirits. And that’s a principal source of evil in the world.
Q: Didn’t Christ, two thousand years ago, set up a protection from that kind of incursion?
RK: Right. You have to do something in order to become susceptible to possession or obsession.
Q: If I can ask one last question, I’ll get off the subject. I understand that sometimes a negative entity’s possession can be a generational thing, passed down from parent to child, and from that child to its child. How in the world does that work?
RK: Well, parents and grandparents are pretty much responsible for protecting young children; particularly the first six to eight years. If they’re remiss in that, they can invite into the child’s environment their own satanic influence. As you know, I don’t believe there’s an Ego named Satan. That’s kind of a catch-all phrase for the negative human entities that make up evil on this planet. But nevertheless, if there is some negative entity who has infested the adults in the family for quite a long time, and has convinced through one means or another the adults or parents to engage in satanic practices, they can bring the child under the influence of that same negative entity which is infesting the parents. The child has a natural protection against that. The parents can break that protection.
Q: What she was saying about negative entities, how it gets passed on from mother to child, can that be stopped by that process?
RK: Yes, an exorcist can stop it. So long as the child is still under that influence, it is going to be constantly drawn back in by that connection, until it’s old enough to get out of that. That’s something that, a lot of people, when they finally become adults and get out of that situation, the first thing they do is go to an exorcist and get free of the family’s influence.
Q: To clarify two questions asked earlier. Wasn’t there a point where a human could acquire so much negative karmic indebtedness that he would become like an animal at some point? Or that he would be so far—the Ego would have so much karmic indebtedness that it would be impossible to incarnate again?
RK: Right.
Or survive an incarnation.
Q: When you were talking about influences from other planets, I thought there was a block put up between different planets so that they could not influence each other.
RK: They’re not allowed to visit us.
Q: But mental energies part can pass from planet to planet?
RK: Yes. It’s impossible to screen yourself from that.
Q: But the physical part is definitely not allowed?
RK: Right. I’d like to clarify a rumor that there are aliens from other planets influencing our government at the present time. I believe such “aliens” come from the Moon and are human beings who are part of our Egoic lifewave. They are a race of homosapiens. An Atlantean colony was set up on the Moon about 20,000 years ago, and those people live underground. Their skin pigmentation has grown grayish over generations as compared to those of us still on Earth who over generations have been exposed to sunlight on a regular basis. The humans living on the Moon have a superior technology evolved directly from Atlantis. They had to have pretty high technology in order to get there in the first place. They visit us quite frequently, but they’re not really from another planet. They’re part of our lifewave. And their Egos can incarnate here on the Earth or you may choose to reincarnate on the Moon next time. So we humans have two technology branches, and any of us can choose between incarnating here and incarnating there. I think most people who incarnate on the Moon have a tendency to keep doing that all the time.
Q: How many Greys do you think there are?
RK: A couple hundred thousand on the Moon, I would say. When we started developing powerful enough telescopes a century ago, observers paid a lot of attention to moving lights in a couple of Moon craters. The conclusion was that there was equipment up there doing mining operations. NASA purposely landed astronauts near those craters. Moon quakes were generated by our astronauts with explosives on the Moon in order to use seismic equipment to measure the patterns of those blasts as they transmitted through the various layers of the Moon. The results enabled our scientists to determine the Moon’s structure, which seems to be fairly metallic with a lot of hollow spaces inside. So that may be how the Moon’s residents can get around inside. Atlantean exploration of the Moon dates back to the Ram Sita epic. I’m trying to provide some kind of understanding of things that you might hear or read about relative to mysterious advisors to our government.
Q: How many people on Earth would you feel know about that or are even aware of that information?
RK: Well, it goes back to President Eisenhower’s administration, so, you know, this is not a very recent thing. There’s a lot of people who officially know about it, and the Moon people probably even have passed along some of their technology to members of our government. But now we’re really getting into a lot of speculation.
Q: Are the moons of other planets hollow and metallic, or do we not know that?
RK: Don’t know. And there’s something strange going on on Mars because some astronomers now report they cannot find its two Phobos and Deimos. Did you know that Mars has two moons? They’ve been photographed for years, but now they can’t find them.
Q: Some planets have more than one moon?
RK: Some planets of our solar system have fifteen or twenty moons.
Q: I’ve read that some astronomers believe our Moon is too large for our planet for it to be natural.
RK: Yes. There’s a theory that it was steered here and parked around the Earth. But there’s Brotherhood information that the Earth at one time was about twice the size that it is now, and it was at a different location in the solar system; between Mars and Jupiter. Long before life began on this planet, it was struck by a wandering body and was essentially sheared in two. At that time we had the same moon plus a couple of smaller ones. The smaller ones were swept away and captured by the colliding body, and the asteroid belt was created by the debris of that collision. Then, because the remaining half of the Earth was only half the weight and lost some of its forward motion by the collision, it fell to a new position between Mars and Venus, which we have today. So why our Moon is proportionally so large is because it was more the proper size relative to the Earth when our planet was larger than it is today. Our Moon is also too far away from us.
RK: Earth was mostly liquid at that time. That was long before any life appeared in any of the oceans. That’s why there’s so much water related to us, because we’re part of that water—the further out you go, the more water there is on our planet; the further away from the Sun that you get.
Q: Back to Earth. Before a person incarnates, they investigate or plan their life, and they also choose their name. And they choose their parents, which this day and age assures a last name. But a first name and a middle name usually go along with it. Can you bring more light to that or what that name is—does the Ego choose the name according to character or what they plan to do?
RK: Yes. Both of those. It tells somebody who knows what names mean who you are and what you plan to do.
Q: Is Earth the only planet that’s spinning?
RK: They
all are. Sometimes their axis is different than ours. We have a pretty badly
tilted axis, but
Q: How do they first get them to spin?
RK: It’s inherent in the formation of them. The Sun, itself, had to coalesce into a ball. The material that fell into the Sun to make it was given a spin just by the process of falling. Because it doesn’t—nothing falls straight into a heavenly body. It already has some motion. And it has to catch up to what already is happening in order to become part of it. And that’s where the spin comes from. Because way out here, it’s gas, and it gradually keeps pulling in until it becomes a pretty cohesive body in the form of a sun, and then it starts spinning faster, and faster, and faster. The Sun at one time or another had a high bulge to it, even though it was already starting to form as a sphere, and the process of—you’ve seen an ice skater start to spin, and they pull their arms in, and the more they pull their arms in, the faster they spin around? Well, that was part of the process. And that bulge—there’s always been a spewing out of matter from the Sun. It still goes on today along the Plane of the Ecliptic. And at one time, it spewed out a whole bunch of matter, which eventually coalesced into planets. So I guess since the planets were turning around, collecting dust, things fell into one another and eventually ended up spinning as well. It’s just a natural process of coalescence by a gravitational field.
Q: On the same subject, my understanding is that of the planets we know, except for Pluto, they’re all in the same Plane of the Ecliptic, but Pluto comes in and is orbiting in a different one. Could that mean that it came maybe from another star at one time?
RK: Yes, that’s very possible. Have you ever heard of the Ort field? A Dutch astronomer theorized, and then came up with some pretty good proof, that way far out, there’s a whole bunch of ice bodies, primarily only H2O. But it’s pretty cold out there, very far from the Sun.
Q: Are they still orbiting?
RK: Right. Still orbiting out there. And most of what we call comets are composed of ice. Something disturbed their presence and started them to fall into the Sun, and then they have three forty- or fifty-year cycles, or even longer, where they fall toward the Sun, but they can’t quite make it directly into the Sun, so they just spin around and go back out again. They’re way out in the Plane of the Ecliptic. And a lot of those things over time have eventually fallen into the outer planets, which is why they’re so watery. The comet that hit Jupiter some time ago, that was mostly a big ball of ice. It made a heck of an impact though. It doesn’t make any difference if it was water. The fact that it was moving so fast and there was so much weight involved caused an explosion in the atmosphere of Jupiter that was about the size of the Earth. And that meant there were several tons of water that hit the surface.
Q: The tail of the comet is gas and stuff?
RK: It’s essentially water vapor. A lot of them are called dirty snowballs because they pick up all kinds of dust and dirt in their travels. And that gives them a dark surface, which causes them to absorb even more sunlight as they go around, which makes them even more evaporative. The solar wind pushes the water vapor as its tail away from the Sun. There’s no real wind up there unless it’s the so-called solar wind, which is particulate material that is ejected from the Sun that adds several tons to our planet every year. These ice balls have the same thing, and as they swing around the Sun, the gasses that come out of them are pushed by the solar wind away from the Sun.
Q: So when it’s leaving away from the Sun, the tail is in front then?
RK: Right. Even though that doesn’t seem right at all.
Q: I’m trying to remember what the date was, but there was a point that your Teachers told you that in the current phase of the Great Plan, there was a whole bunch of positions that were filled?
RK: Yes.
Q: What was that date that that occurred?
RK: That was in December, when I was about thirty-three, around 1960.
Q: Apparently that was the next step in the Great Plan that people were assigned those particular positions. Have you gotten any clues or information if that part of the Great Plan is still on schedule?
RK: Some changes have probably since been made due to some deaths over the past forty years.
Q: Were you, at that time or since then, been told about or had a need to know any of these other positions and who were manning them?
RK: None whatsoever.
Q: I’ve got a book called The Comet of Nostradamus in which they’re saying that according to his—
RK: August of 2004?
Q: Yes. And now recently I read something off the Internet about some asteroid hitting the planet or something, but I didn’t find a date. What is your take on all that?
RK: Well,
there’s a whole bunch of stanzas by Nostradamus which
would certainly indicate that that’s the date. It’s supposed to strike in the
Adriatic and cause all kinds of problems in
Q: Are you finding any information elsewhere confirming that possibility?
RK: No. Strictly Nostradamus’ prediction.
Q: Comets and asteroids are different?
RK: Yes. Comets usually have real long periods of time between sightings because they’re real space wanderers on elliptical orbits. Asteroids have a very close orbit around the Sun, between Mars and Jupiter. And they can be perturbed by different gravitational forces of the planets to start coming closer to the Sun. Because they’re in the plane of the ecliptic, asteroids are in an area where they could strike the Earth. Asteroids are made of metal and rock, and comets are essentially ice. Our still-liquid planet re-formed as a globe very readily after being struck, and the thin crust of light-weight rock that had already hardened on the surface was left on one side of the globe, which we call Pangia, while the other rock that had been formed was swept away in the collision. All of the continents have had to spread around the globe from that spot, and that has taken hundreds of millions of years.
Q: What you just mentioned, I’m assuming happened before Egos were assigned to the planet.
RK: Yes,
long before there were any life forms at all.
Q: We were talking about something hitting the Earth and splitting it in two. Was that probably a comet or was it something from outside our solar system?
RK: Probably from outside our solar system. Because it seems to have been moving in the wrong direction.
Q: Is the uneven distribution of continents generally the cause of the cycle of catastrophes that we have on the planet –the sudden earth changes, if you will?
RK: I don’t really know what sets them off, but periodic rising and sinking of the continents is part of a process to renew the fertility of the land. If our planet didn’t do that, there soon wouldn’t be life on the dry surface anymore. All life would be in the ocean. So long as the design is to have plants and animals live on land, then we have to have renewal of the land, because minerals are constantly being dissolved by rain and washing into the sea. To get the minerals back onto the land again, we have volcanoes and floods, or inundations. Rising and falling of land masses. Sometimes the Earth’s crust is sea bottom and sometimes it’s above again. So that’s an essential part of maintaining life on the surface of the land. The moment of change is disastrous so far as human beings are concerned and other life forms as well. But then, again, in the overall scheme of things, you’re either in the right place and continue, or you reincarnate again a little later. So hopefully not much is lost. However, in the process of an Earth change there’s the human hurting and terror. That’s not so good, but, of course, that only lasts for a short period of time.
Q: I’m coming to a point. Particularly in our solar system, we observe planets that are remarkably desolate. And relative to previous statements that have been made here, the assumption would be that the former inhabitants of those planets have advanced to such a degree that they’re no longer on the physical plane, and therefore, we’re not observing their activities. Does this imply that circumstances here on Earth have, shall we say, regressed to normal advancement as opposed to the other planets in our solar system?
RK: I have been given no information about that. There’s plenty of opportunity for life if there’s liquid underneath the rocks in the way of caverns formed in different ways, by volcanism of some sort. And if they’re filled with liquids, life can evolve in those things. Those animals and people do not need sunlight in order to see. If their retina is attuned to vibrations of infrared, wherever there’s warmth, there’s light, and the possibility of perceiving it as light. So all the kinds of things that we have as human bodies can be evolved on other planets, whether there’s water there or not, so long as there’s some kind of liquid that they can live in.
Q: In other words, our apparent view of other planets as being desolate and lifeless, or shall we say, inhospitable to human life, is simply a narrow point of view?
RK: It’s best to keep an open mind. If alien people with entirely different chemical makeup come to visit our planet, they would have a real problem here. It’s said that the temperature on the surface of Venus is 800 degrees. What’s the temperature under the surface? Is that beneficial? Can they use that kind of temperature beneficially? If a form of silicon is a base rather than carbon, of DNA and cell structure, that might work. Angels are all expert organic chemists. If you have a planet, Angels formed it. I don’t know if they abandon it and decide to move someplace else, but They put together a planet with every intention of evolving life on it. I don’t know exactly what happened to Mars. I mean, maybe they had an atomic war or something and blew the surface to smithereens except for whoever survived in underground caverns where there’s plenty of water.
Q: In order for the Angels to create our planets, did They have to create planets on the other planes of existence as well?
RK: At the advancement of the human lifewave, Masters become Angels. One of the first things They get into is creating a planet. The next thing They do is begin to evolve life on that planet, eventually ending up with a vehicle that can be human and operated by an Ego. To coalesce a planet, They don’t have to do things on other planes of existence other than create an etheric pattern for it. Mostly, They have to be able to manipulate gravity in order to help coalesce the planet from dust spewed out by a star. Angels will be operating on other planes of existence when They start figuring out how to make living things. But Angels don’t make matter. Matter comes from a star. Archangels make the stars. All of the necessary energies for the solar system are from that star.
