It is with great joy and pleasure that I can again greet you, and although I have been gone from the earth but a few years, yet, circumstances are such that I can return through this way of communication and may assist you in some of the writings for your book. For my identity, I fell by the assassin’s bullet in my garden in India and was known as the Mahatma Gandhi. Do not expect me to speak in any language other than English because I was educated in England, and I will use that language even though this must all be a part of those who have spoken before; so I will bow gracefully to precedent. We are to guide you to the planet Elysium tonight. I have been so enthusiastic here in being able to return to Unarius for a while; we are to return to the planet Elysium, and we shall write some of the final chapters in your history book from this wonderful planet which is part of the great ring of the spiritual worlds which are swinging around in the universe or the void about you. I have been resting rather easily and conducting such works as were suitable in the nature of spiritual guidance from this planet of Elysium and only returned to the Centers of Unarius for the ‘Holy Week’ observances, as they are so integrated with the time and place of the cycles of transmission with the earth people. As you know, this is the ‘Holy Week’ of the Avatar Jesus and His Mission upon the earth which culminated in his crucifixion. Now, I think that is sufficient introduction for myself as my own biography is quite well known and needs no repetition.
In fact, I was with you the other evening when you looked in on something on the magic tube which you call the TV screen which showed some of the grounds and places of my old home in India, so you know something of this time and circumstance and place. It was my great honor and privilege to be of service to the people of India. My only regret is that I did not go completely far enough into the future to set up a sufficiently formed government which would render the inflow or influx of Communism impossible. I would issue a word of warning here that has been issued by others who have preceded me; India is indeed in a grave condition. The danger of Communism is indeed much more apparent today than ever. Although there is a smoke screen in what is called the Near East, Egypt and Arabia or such places as are eventually in the calendar of dates which have been set by the great dragon, as Kung Fu calls it, to conquer that part of the world; but this only after India and many of the other latitudes on my own world, such as Thailand and other places, shall be conquered by these invading hordes of pagans. It shall not be easy, of course, because we know the natures of these peoples are just as they are found in China. My people are likewise very strongly steeped in the traditional religions of the past, and even though there may be a superficial communistic government set up yet, you may rest assured that it will not change the hearts and minds of these people.
Now, that you have begun to see clearly, you have been seeing this beautiful planet of Elysium which seems to be floating like some sort of a huge rather violet-colored globe of iridescent energy or some beautifully colored ornament such as you might find on a Christmas tree in a Christian home at Christmas time. We are approaching this planet very rapidly with the speed many times in excess to that of light. You will soon be very safely and firmly walking upon the surface of this planet, and we shall immediately go, as you have now found yourself, into a great temple which is very strangely like one which you saw on your magic tube (TV). This planet incidentally, which I have so failed to mention, is one which is devoted purely to a sort of spiritual resting place or a place of further spiritual exploitation to those individuals who come, not only from the earth, but from similar terrestrial planets. These souls are all very devoted to some religious expression, whether it is something with which you are familiar on your earth surface, or whether. it is one of the religions which exist in a remote planet in another solar system. So to go through this great Temple of Buddha which you see before you and to stroll about this great city and this planet would reveal, likewise, not only all of the religions of your world as they have existed in the past down into the most distant halls of antiquity, but you would also see structures which were very foreign to anything which you had ever seen depicted in your history books. The purpose here in these Temples and in these numerous places of worship is one whereby the various souls who come from these remote planets may continue on for some time in their regular inspirational services, or they are devotees to some cult and may continue on in these efforts without serious psychic shock. They must be gradually placed in such a position whereby other truths and other paths of Infinite Wisdom can begin to illumine their minds so they will be somewhat freed from these dogmatic practices in order that they may begin to conceive; for while such religious observances do have great value in certain evolutions of life, in the development of man’s own individual soul and progress, however, he must also realize that the day will come in his evolution when these things need to be supplanted to a large degree and extent by the inward processes of enlightenment. He must learn that true illumination comes, not from autosuggestive practices which give rise to various sacrificial ceremonies, or to the burning of the pots of incense, to the hundred and one thousand numerous and different spiritual interpretations which exist in all levels and walks of life — not only upon the earth and in so many other worlds which we know about; but rather, illumination comes from the Innermost Consciousness.
Here, we must also lend particular emphasis to those who have been somewhat fanatically steeped in these traditional practices, for these people quite naturally remain in these positions of worship much longer than those who are much more mildly inclined. So, that ever and on they become illumined in the innermost reaches of their own souls. True spiritual illumination must always come from their relationship as it is called ‘from within’ which actually means that through the scientific principles which have been explained to you, the individual is linked up to higher and higher Forces, or to more spiritual dimensions and interpretations of life. This is what is called the inward illumination because it must not and cannot come from the external things around you. The position of the earth mind is such that he must always see something coming from some direction, but this is not necessarily so as it exists in God’s own Mind; for all things exist both internally and externally simultaneously. While man in a terrestrial position sees all things coming to him externally, yet, the most subtle essences of God’s pure nature, which is the very foundation and basis for the existence of all things, must ever come from an unseen source which is called “That which is Within”.
As you look about you into these wonderful and beautiful temples and various churches, they somehow seem to remind you of some of the edifices which you have seen in your cities about the surface of the earth, and indeed they may be somewhat exactly the same as these edifices are so constructed of this pulsating Radiant Energy of God’s Nature. They are, indeed, very beautiful and they fit in with the general appearance of the whole world which is about you. These people whom you see walking about you, too, present somewhat of a strange appearance, quite unlike some of those whom you have been accustomed to seeing in other centers of the great Unarius. They seem to be less alert and many of them seem to be rather walking. in their sleep and, indeed, this is so because they have not yet reached the point where they can see as freely about them as you do. Many of these people you see moving in and out of these great churches and temples still believe they are worshiping upon the surface of the earth. They have not realized they are, shall we say, ‘dead’, or that they have passed on into another spiritual dimension. Gradually, however, the great Energy Force of God’s Mind shall seep through into these blank faces and illumine them from within, so they too shall be ready for some initiation and pass on into another spiritual world which is more suitable for their progression and their eventual reincarnation into a higher material status of life. Thus it is always so with these things.
I would like to interject something here of a more personal relationship and of the incense which was detected by Ruth. This means the addition of the Fourth Archangel to the Spiritual Band which is now working in your dimension, and you shall hear from Him personally in the future.
For the balance of the week, we are humbly observant in your position in life that we too are most anxious to continue on with the work; and while this book is, in itself, very important, it could very easily be but the forerunner to even greater works in the future should it be shown that all problems of the physical world about you, either internally or externally, are so compromised or placed in such a position that they do not impede the inflow of spiritual Wisdom. There are many indications about you, as you have realized, that there are other spiritual organizations which we are jointly concerned with in bringing into the world some of the spiritual evolutions which man must go through in the next coming hundreds of years; cycles that will bring him into closer relationship with the true spiritual Forces of his nature.
To America — the world can truly look forward in the future for guidance in this spiritual evolution. For this purpose, America was so conceived and dedicated from the higher spiritual planes. I am sorry we must return you to your position on the earth, but we will await your first opportunity for future contact. Your Brother in service.
