Time and Thought By Richard Kieninger Most people can learn to predict
future events with reasonable accuracy on the basis of past experience and
probability, but true prophecy is the ability to see future history. When a
person’s body is asleep, his Ego is aware of the Astral Plane and he
functions upon it at will. The brain is still active in the sleeping physical
body, but while the Egoic mind is temporarily dissociated from the body,
there is no conscious remembrance of brain activity. And because during sleep
the brain is functioning without association with the Ego’s consciousness,
the brain has no knowledge of the Ego’s activity on the Astral Plane. But in
moments of twilight sleep—when the Ego leaves in order to fall asleep—the Ego
can be momentarily conscious of the brain’s dream activity and the brain can
be aware of the Ego’s astral perception. Prescience and deja vu arise
from this fleeting association of brain awareness during twilight sleep if
the Ego’s consciousness is focused upon future events while functioning on
the Astral Plane. Time on the Astral Plane is
an unsettling experience to incarnate Egos accustomed to dealing with the
fixed rates and sequencing of events on the physical plane. Although there is
order on the higher planes of existence in that subsequent events cannot
occur before their own cause, there is no limit on positive time or negative
time. Thoughts and radiations relative to an occurrence proceed through time
both forward and backward without discrimination on all planes of existence
above the physical plane. An Ego operating on the Astral Plane can be aware
of yesterday’s event as if it happened today, or he can be aware of
tomorrow’s event as if it happened today. The Akashic Record, a function of
the construction of the Etheric Plane, records all thoughts. Great prophets
perceive yesterday and tomorrow in the Akashic Record as a reflection of
thought because thought precedes action and because thought is involved in
Egoic response to action. The energy signals incidental to the occurrence of
an event also radiate in both directions of time. Most members of The Stelle
Group and many readers of The Ultimate Frontier know that Stelle will
succeed, that the Nation of God will exist and that cataclysms are soon to
come upon the world. One morning they awoke and knew it would be so. There
was no logic in it, no reasoning—just a seeming surety that pervaded their
thoughts and a serenity in seeming to know future reality. Visions of the
existence-to-come were seen on the Astral Plane while the body slept, and the
essence of those visions persisted. Past, present and future all have their
influence mutually upon the other. The human race can conceive of and move
forward to create the Nation of God, and that future nation has its influence
upon us now. The Civilization which we will have created thousands of years
in the future—so far advanced from anything we know now, free from the
perversions that plague us today, rich in the beautiful ways of human
relations that we can hardly imagine—sends back its signals of its future
reality to us today, and our own Egoic thoughts which we will not have
thought until the distant future influence us even now. The thoughts we have
had in past incarnations still irradiate us and shape our thinking in
today’s incarnation. The thoughts we will think in future incarnations also
irradiate us and shape today’s thinking. Past actions of the race
understandably have their influence through tradition, custom and karma.
Etheric patterns of a yet-future creation which were started by our imaginations
in past incarnations also have their obvious influence. We must consider,
however, that man’s thoughts which have yet to be thought in the future are
also influential upon us today. The negativity man has put
into the world in the past must still be dealt with today. The things which
occurred millennia ago are not dead. They are part of an influence which is
still streaming toward us from our having created them. The great Lemurian
Empire still influences us positively, and The Stelle Group must find those
persons who are influenced more by the positive than by the negative aspects
of human history, past and future. Everything that happens to us in the past,
present and future is a reflection of a combination of our past, present and
future thoughts. Mankind is a great vessel of mental energy penetrated by
anything that any one of us did, does or will do. The penalty for allowing a
Hitler to arise will be paid until the last trump by all of us. And by the
same token, the future Nation of God uplifts us today. The influence of future history upon us today seems to put into doubt the exercise of free will. Are we locked into some predestination? The direction in which a human race begins to move on a given planet certainly influences the rest of that planet’s history, but man can change his destiny in spite of that influence. Future history is still the result of the aggregate wills of all men. The fact that a man’s past and future thoughts influence his thought today does not mean he is locked into a predestined pattern. True, the choices between which a man would choose become narrower as he acquires increased wisdom. Egos on the Celestial Plane have total freedom of will and power; yet They act in concord because They all independently arrived at the same best way to achieve the greatest good. That which is in the best interests of all is always in a man’s own self-interest to pursue. He is, nevertheless, free to do what he wants. Every action has its price and reward, and a man must judge accordingly. |
