Long, long ago we were baby souls in Atlantis. We worked with old soul lightkeepers who went around and built beautiful small places, in groves, on cliffs, in cities and desolate lonely places. These temples were based on sacred geometry, for people to come and connect with the Divine. We were the labor then, the muscle that hauled the marble blocks or great beams, or dug the foundations.
Sit and close your eyes and just for a minute build that scene in your thoughts. Don’t call it remembering or you will get in your own way.
These were lives of devotion in the baby soul sense and yet we “realized” something profound; that you could not require anyone to come and participate. No, you had to let those that were called come as they wish. In a way, because there were so many of us, we changed a bit the way in which being a baby soul functioned in that time and moved it towards the positive. It was rare for essence to touch us and emerge at that level.
We liked it. We wanted more and it started a pattern of creating lives in service to the Tao, or “on the Path.” It isn’t better or worse than any other, only just the specialized experience we set out to create as part of the Tao. Our part. A lot of this is Cadre 1 at work. Once you start to build something that profound it becomes a form of monad. It has a full range of expression through the lifetimes. Nearly every lifetime will be touched in some way by both the dread and the desire of the Path.
We chose to incarnate in axial ages, and pivotal times of change. We were there for every incarnation of the infinite soul, for every transcendental soul, in every culture we touched the face of God as it was understood in those societies.
When we hit mature soul lifetimes we moved into greater awareness and we began to dabble with the dark side of power. We did really bad things and we paid some heavy karmas for it. It was necessary, you know? To create the dark side of every level of experience on the path to then truly know the Light. Some of us really abused the power and walked dangerously close to service-to-self conversion. This because of all those in the monad, the student cadre as we know it, a handful of us are addicted to long odds and dangerous choices.
We are brilliant at creating life contexts, building in agreements and layers of nets to fall back into. We are, as higherselves, the finest craftsmen, masters all. There is nothing in your life of importance that you did not put there. This is the most critical thing to accept. We deliberately crippled ourselves, we set it up so that we would hide from who we truly are until the very last possible moment. In this way we were unable to activate the power at a point in which we would misuse it. In this way we grew compassion, and love, and desire to know truth in the deepest way. In this way we could clearly recognize that who we were is not who we are, at precisely the point in which manifesting self would open the gates of power, of Love, when it was most needed. Being resistant of change is both personality trying to hold us back but also the “plan” that was perfectly executed and reaches back through so many other lifetimes.
In every lifetime we have been driven to leave something behind that echoes those temples in Atlantis. Sometimes we have been successful. In this lifetime, we are the temples. In whatever lifetimes to come we will continue on this Path and none of those future lifetimes will be easy for the same reason. If we do not do the work this time, we will do it next time. But there is pressure in this lifetime because it is an axial time, things are shifting, the more Love and Truth and Beauty we can establish the greater the whole can access them. And that is the purpose of any temple. Service to the All.
In a way, this is the highest cliff we’ve decided to leap off of yet. There is no past life experience to guide the way, we are in new territory and so the desire/dread polarity is in greater play.
For S__, as an example, he can apply “skeptic” to this process, but he needs to cast it both far down and also forward on the timeline of lives. It is conditioned to function only in this lifetime, but “investigation” can work in a much more expanded way. What he establishes as the criteria for his truth/reality is where the skeptic will function. A goal of acceptance says that he was going to condition this lifetime to the truths of the shift itself, of the Logos — both an expansion of the true self once he found it and a limiter of abuse prior to that, the most difficult goal of all. Power mode guarantees he will break down the false personality so he can access the goal, and it also means there will never be any backsliding. Essentially, he cannot fail to pursue the true personality and the goal in this lifetime. This is the beauty of the plan that he crafted from the Astral.
[So I sent this to S__ and he wrote me back, and I expanded the Story]
S__: …it seems that my higher self did too good a job in keeping me from accessing anything before I needed to. I’m almost at the point where I don’t even want to.
Kath: But here’s the thing; who do you go back to being?
Now J____ has explained it as your higherself being out to get you. But what if it’s not? What if everything single thing you’ve been through was exactly what you planned for you? Part of the problem of course is that personality can’t quite grok the wholeness of the original, or overall, purpose. We forget when we try to figure all this out that it is not about one lifetime.
So back up a few steps and start from this place: I am the most extraordinary craftsman of lifetimes. Knowing just yourself in this lifetime, are you doing anything by halves? Are you guessing? Would you lay in a plan this important, as half-assed, haphazard and leaking? No. There are levels and levels and circles of intersection and interaction. And while we do yes have free will, it functions at two levels; in the illusion and out of the illusion. There are choices made by personality and choices made by higherself, and they are both “you.”
So first, look at “…I’m almost at the point I don’t even want to.” Say you don’t. Who are you then? You’ve passed fourth internal monad, you know who you are, you can see the trajectory you’ve been on. You recognize the teacher’s voice and presence, you are that student on the Path. Can you turn back from that? Or did the higherself plan for that as well?
Who will you be? Who are you now? These are the first two parts: building in both the defeat of abuse of power and development of compassion, and then undeniable recognition of emergence of essence.
The next part is: Why? Why do we still, as old souls, build these complex lifetimes that create an extreme intensity of experience when much of our karma is done with? All old souls seek – all will come to a teaching at the last. At the same time, very few are students “on the Path” of spiritual growth.
Why?
