“The Masters and the Path”by C. W. Leadbeater

Among the early major figures authoring Theosophical Teachings was Mr. Leadbeater (1847-1934) was an eminent seer and occultist, who wrote of the  Masters, Mahatmas, Adepts and Arhats in this book. Their “existence is one of the most important of the many facts which Theosophy puts before us.” 

Drawing on his personal experiences, the experiences of others, and the teachings of the religions, the mystics and the saints, he writes about the personalities of the Masters, Their homes, Their work, Their nature and Their powers. He also describes the various stages of the Path the aspirant must tread to reach Them, from probation to acceptance as Their disciple, and beyond, to Arhat levels. In the book, the author also deals with the topics of Initiations and The Seven Rays.

Charles Leadbeater worked with Helena Blavatsky and Henry Olcott, both founders of The Theosophical Society in 1875. He also co-authored Theosophical books with Annie Besant, then the future president of the Society. 

The Masters, who guided the founding of the Theosophical Society were Master Morya, Master Koot Hoomi, and Master Djwal Khul. They are known as the Trans-Himalayan Masters. Please note that The Master Djwal Khul also wrote the Alice Bailey books.  We should not confuse these Masters with those called the Ascended Masters acclaimed by Guy Ballard of the I Am movement and taken up later by Mark and Elizabeth Prophet. 

Just for clarity, after reaching enlightenment or Nirvana, Masters have earned the right to merge with the All which is called ascension. This would prevent Them from being in touch with humanity since They would be abandoning Their lower physical vehicles of consciousness. Out of compassion and to help us in our struggle to realize Truth They may choose not to ascend but instead keep Their physical bodies. This was the chosen path of the Theosophical Masters whom C.W. Leadbeater met.    

This book may be purchased new or used from online booksellers. It is also available on kindle. A free pdf copy of the book is also available from Judith after you notify her that you wish to join the book study group. Judith’s email is judithsnow22@gmail.com

September 7th – Didn’t I tell you

It’s September 7th, 2024; We have an original mellow pop song about tellin’ you so! Bubba Hudson’s voice is so smooth in this song. If I told you once, I told you a thousand times! Haha! Richard wrote this song with tongue-in-cheek humor–but don’t we ALL have a family member or friend who’s the first to say this to us when we go through a breakup? Christian or not, you may enjoy this for it’s rockin’ lead guitar break and theme of LOVE and HOPE. A wonderful pro demo, radio-ready song from Steven Cooper, Nashville, TN.

Here’s the two-hundred-fifty-first new music post for 2024, as I consistently tell you about our original songs, shoving them in your face (just kidding), to help you laugh (or cry)! Ha!

Email blitz

Yesterday I began going through my incoming emails and unsubscribing from many sales/business sites that I am no longer interested in, unable to attend in person sessions of, or what not. I didn’t feel it was honest of me to stay on someone’s list if I wasn’t fully interested. It’s a waste of my time and theirs–even if I’m friends with the person, and maybe because I am friendly with the person! But of course, one of my friends texted me that she was “hugely disappointed” that I’d unsubscribed from her email list. UGH (You just can’t win with some people. At least now I know she’s got an issue with “taking things personally” as I have–and something I came into this life to resolve. And of course, I wrote her back explaining why I unsubscribed and to wish her many blessings! We’re still connected on Facebook and have each other’s phone numbers, proven by the text).

Book club

Yesterday was also a book club day for me. In the Theosophy group, of which I have been a part for many years, we are reading, Ancient Wisdom for a New Age. And we finished Chapter 12 where the author talks about NOT delving into channeling/mediumship. I found the pages on this topic fascinating since H. P. Blavatsky received spiritual guidance and wisdom from The Grand Beyond. Perhaps the point was that we need to be discerning when it comes to the spirit world. The author was of the belief that it could be very dangerous to allow some unknown entity to take over our physical body for any certain amount of time when we didn’t know anything about the entity! And there are many examples of channels and mediums dying prematurely!

I will say those pages brought up some great discussion in the group as several of us receive divine communication, whether it be from the Holy Spirit, guardian angels, or spirit guides. We agreed with the book though that one needs to be pure of intent and ego-less, when seeking such communication. This morning, while washing dishes, I had a thought drop in that it’s the charging money for such activities (as channeling and mediumship) where one might get into trouble as we’re always (in ALL ways) filtering the incoming messages through our own personal ‘lens’ and filter. Thus, the information is probably only for us, and when we give it to someone else, it’s got a film of ‘us’ on it and may not actually be FOR them.

I did bring up the issue of Aphantasia to the group and none were aware of it! I was surprised as I think I’m the youngest in our group–and yes, I know Aphantasia is rare. But the group all said they thought anyone who cannot visualize in the mind just needed more practice! Isn’t it amazing how we can have an opinion on something we know nothing about! Ha! I invited them to look it up. When Gray Summers and I first discussed Aphantasia I’d never heard of it either, but when I looked it up I read that it’s been a known phenomenon (though not widely studied) since 1880!

Screen capture: “Many psychics are completely delusional. The create a universe within their mind, and the thought forms can be so powerful that they are surrounded with them at all times. If they believe this self-created universe is anything but that, they will continue believing in it for the remainder of this lifetime, and it is a severe impediment to further (spiritual) progress.” –Ancient Wisdom

Everything happens for a reason

Yes, Everything Happens for a Reason and Everything Resolves to Gratitude. Knowing that each of us (as fractals) uplifts my mind and allows me to view life as a lively kaleidoscope grand design that moves about in an ever-expanding, revolving, melodious, consciousness. Even if we have to disconnect from some people, for a time.

Enjoy (IN Joy) everything and love! Be Everything All the Time. Let’s soar in ’24!

Yours in expanding, loving, spiraling consciousness,
