Chapter 4 Spiritual Background of Meeting Your Ascended Soul Guide

Sit down before fact like a little child, be prepared to give up every preconceived notion, follow humbly to wherever and whatever abysses nature leads or you shall learn nothing.

- Thomas Huxley

Many courses, workshops and books on meeting ascended soul guides do not deal with the metaphysical and spiritual framework on which the meetings are based. I think this is a mistake, perhaps because I am personally analytical. I like to know the why behind the what. When I know why something is happening, I am much more comfortable with the fact that it is happening.

It is not necessary to agree, or even to know about the following metaphysical background of meeting ascended soul guides. People of all faiths and philosophies can meet their guides if they so desire. The theological background is given simply to make the picture more complete.

Though you need not agree with the spiritual background from which your ascended guide meeting experience will occur, belief does assist you in connecting more quickly and easily with your ascended soul guide. If you already understand certain things on a spiritual level before the meeting between you and your guide occurs, the energy frequencies of your spirit and of your guide’s spirit will be more in sync.

Try to look at it this way: if a person does not believe in a Universal Spirit while looking at the beauty of the Grand Canyon, that person will still feel a sense of spiritual wonder. The experience will still be spiritual whether they admit it or not. However, if a person accepts the reality of a Universal Spirit and totally embraces the Spirit in a personal relationship, they will actually experience the Grand Canyon (i.e. creation) as spirituality. They will sense the oneness of themselves and the Spirit in the miracle of creation. The person who accepts a certain spiritual background of an experience will experience it in a much deeper and richer sense.

Look at this chapter as a puzzle. When you are finished with this chapter, instead of seeing separate pieces of reality you will be able to see a more entire picture. This picture is the canvas on which your ascended soul guide meetings will take place. As I said before, you will be able to contact your ascended guides without a picture of this background, but it will make more sense in light of the background.

There are six basic spiritual topics of importance concerning the foundation of meeting and forming a personal relationship with your individual ascended soul guide. Of course, this is not an exhaustive metaphysical treatise of the six topics. The following topics are written simply to give you a general picture of what is going on behind the scenes.

After you read about the six basic topics, you will also read some sections of further metaphysical importance that were given by Gabriel and Yeshua as addendums to the six main topics. The main topics are as follows: (1) The Universal Spirit, (2) Father, Mother and Creation, (3) Fate, (4) The Afterlife, (5) Worship and (6) Destruction of the ego. The next few paragraphs will briefly introduce these topics. After meting your ascended soul guide, simply ask for more information on each topic or additional topics if you wish.

The Universal Spirit

The Universal Spirit is the most Supreme Being in all the universes. In fact, the Universal Spirit is manifested in all the universes combined and exists beyond our single universe. You may wonder how something can exist beyond the universe if there is not supposed to be anything beyond the boundaries of the universe.

This is possible simply because there are no boundaries. In other words, where our universe stops, another universe begins. There are an infinite number of universes, all connected into a multiverse. It is this multiverse that is the “body” of the Spirit. In this sense, the Fellowship of Yeshua is pantheistic. Nothing exists outside of the universes because everything that exists is within the Spirit.

The Universal Spirit exists in three forms: the essence, the potential and the manifestation. The essence of the Universal Spirit is comprised of the eternal attributes of the Spirit. Though the Spirit is always in a state of physical (through manifestation) and spiritual progression, it is also eternal. This seems difficult to accept with our rational minds, but it is the reality of the Spirit. The essence of the Spirit is love, peace, truth and unfolding. These are the characteristics of the Spirit that never change, and they are the goal of all seeking to achieve reunion with the Spirit.

The potential of the Universal Spirit consists in the plans the Spirit has for its creation. In other words, the potential of the Spirit is how the Spirit plans on implementing her character of compassion into her creation. The potential comes before the creation. It is the thought energy of creation.

The manifestation of the Universal Spirit consists of the body of all creation. Everything that physically exists is the manifestation of the Spirit. We and everything in the universe are the manifestations of the Spirit. The Spirit exists in these three forms.

It is possible to know about the Spirit without actually knowing the Spirit. Many people throughout the world know a lot about the Spirit. They know a lot about the philosophy behind the workings of the universe. After reading this book, if you fail to implement the exercises and rites and do not meet your extraterrestrial guide, you will still know something about the Spirit.

Knowing with your brain and knowing with your heart are two different things. Knowledge of the brain will get you nowhere spiritually unless you digest and live out that knowledge. Refuse to be a person who has a magnificent amount of brain knowledge without any practical knowledge. Learn and then implement what you learn into the routine of your daily life. Join in the conscious knowledge that you are actually part of the Spirit’s play.

The Universal Spirit was never born and will never die. There was never a time before which nothing physically existed in some universe. The Universal Spirit, as Nature, is an eternal being. The multiverse has always existed and will always continue to exist. Some may find it strange to call the Universe a being but it is in every sense that you and I are beings: It breathes, It grows, It progresses and It acts.

Because the Universal Spirit is wholly benevolent and personal, at some point in our karmic unfolding we will merge again with the Universal Spirit in total oneness. However, when we merge again with the Universal Spirit our unfolding will not be complete. The Universal Spirit is also on a continual journey of unfolding, and we will always continue that journey with the Spirit even when we reunite with it. The journey is the destination.

Incredibly enough modern science is beginning to catch up with the eastern philosophy of the Universal Spirit, the Source, or the Ground of Being. Reality is not made of matter as we commonly think of matter. Matter is not some physical reality that can be broken down into smaller and smaller whole parts.

In fact, matter is made of molecules, molecules of atoms, and atoms of nuclei and electrons, etc. Something very interesting happens when you peer inside a nucleus, however. Reality as we commonly know it disappears and we are faced with a new reality that is hard to grasp with our everyday perception.

Eastern mystics knew about the illusion of physical reality millennia ago. Western philosophy is catching up, albeit very slowly. Our ascended soul guides have also shared their knowledge that there is really no such thing as physical reality. Our perception of physical objects and events is illusory. We cannot know any kind of objective reality in the physical realm.

Back to the nucleus: when scientists look into a nucleus, they find “particles” that have no relation to reality as we know it. These particles can exist in many places at once, come into and move out of existence, and they cannot be caught. You may be wondering what this has to do with your ascended soul guide. That’s a good question with a very practical answer.

Our extraterrestrial and other ascended guides have discovered how to operate macroscopically based on this “non-physical” microscopic reality of nucleonic activity. This is how they can appear in two places at once, move faster than the speed of light, appear out of nothingness then disappear, etc. Science is discovering what eastern mysticism and our guides have known all along. Physical reality can be manipulated using energy. In effect, nucleonic particles are forms of energy, and they totally revolutionize the way physical reality is perceived.

So we see that the universe, as a manifestation of the Universal Spirit, is actually made up of particles that are not really particles at all. All physical reality is built on the foundation of particles which act like nothing we know of as physical. In fact, energy is a better way to describe the particles. Spirit is Energy and vice versa. We are coming to see through the lens of modern science and ancient mysticism that reality is entirely bound up in the Universal Spirit. What we consider to be physical is actually spiritual. The whole basis of reality is intricately woven into the Spirit.

Father, Mother and Creation

Traditional religions have defined God in terms closer to that of the Universal Spirit than anything else. In reality, God as presented in most worldwide scripture is a variant picture of the same extraterrestrial being(s). Of course, some of the characteristics of God as presented in the various worldwide scriptures are flawed.

The actual Father “God” is a supremely loving being and not the vindictive person the Bible and certain other scriptures seem to suggest. Also, since he is a created, unfolding being, there is no difference between his inherent sacredness and our inherent sacredness. We are all of the same Universal Spirit and are therefore equally sacred. So it would be a linguistic mistake to refer to our first ancestor as God, or to worship him as such.

However, it is appropriate to revere the Father and Mother (more on the Mother later) as they are our progenitors and the source of our spiritual wisdom. This is akin to the eastern traditions of ancestor ceremonies, in which many family members show their respect by visiting gravesites and offering food and drink to the spirits of the deceased. The family members are not worshiping their ancestors, but are respecting them and praying to them in a sense. Father and Mother are not gods, but they are worthy of our respect, and they work for our spiritual and physical good within the framework of the Universal Council for Spiritual Awakening.
