[Here James is referring to The Grand Portal discovery and those who will contribute to that discovery. Ed.](All Ed. remarks are written by John Berges.)

The WingMakers observe a life-bearing planet via the same SBL technology I referred to earlier in your first two questions. [See Sensory Bi-location. Ed.] Using this insight, we can determine with a high degree of accuracy when a species is prepared to receive its acceleration, and when this time occurs, Lyricus deploys a team of teachers to the planet.

Approximately eleven thousand years ago, this team incarnated in physical, human bodies, and became earth’s first teachers of the higher sciences, arts, and metaphysics. I will not go into any further detail at this time, but these initial members of Lyricus placed in the Genetic Mind of the human race the purpose of discovering the Grand Portal. This purpose is dimly understood by the human species at this time, but it will become clear in approximately fifty years.

It is true to say that the “broader net”, as you put it, is designed for those outside of the esoteric practices. This is simply because those steeped in the esoteric will often be instilled with a subtle, but nonetheless compelling, motive to protect the esoteric teachings that they hold true or at least most probable. Thus, the esoteric works of text left behind by former teachers activates their inspiration. When they are exposed to music, poetry, and art that are not directly connected to these esoteric texts, their protective reflex is invoked, and the material is not absorbed—it tends to be analyzed and compared.

The WMM is to be absorbed like one would absorb the sunshine when they are outside. No one requires measuring devices or lenses to absorb the sun’s rays; they simply need to be in the path of these rays. They need to position themselves to receive the sun. This is how it is with WMM. The broader net is really about the new souls incarnating who will, as a result of their encoded event strings, unconsciously position themselves to receive these materials.

The seven Tributary Zones, which we will call collectively, the WingMakers’ material, are not philosophical texts. There will be the temptation by some to compare these writings to the Bible, Qur’an, The Urantia Book, Ascended Master instructions, and on and on. There will be others who will compare the information contained in the interviews and book to the nonfiction works of investigative journalists. Comparison of the WingMakers’ materials will not necessarily result in understanding, but more likely, confusion.

The WingMakers’ materials are designed in a different way from anything that has ever been manifested on earth. It is a collection of encoded sensory data streams destined for a consumer technology platform that is just beginning to be incubated within development labs. However, even when experienced without this technology platform, the individual is aware that there is a deep transformation occurring. Something is “reshuffling” their mental “deck”.

I would encourage anyone who is immersing his or her consciousness in these materials to go without comparison for a period of time as they absorb these materials. The Tributary Zones have more information encoded in them than the human mind can access and comprehend. If an individual is engaged in comparison, they may not be engaged in the deeper meaning of the Tributary Zone, at the level where the encoded information is revealed.

Incidentally, what I’ve just said is not to imply that the encoded information must be wrested from the Tributary Zone by conscious will and effort. It is a delicate thing to detect the encoded information. It requires a supple intelligence, open mind, contemplative perspective, and the curiosity of calculated observation. It is not a battle of wills or mind over matter. And it is seldom revealed in the clutter of comparison.

As to the connection of the WingMakers’ material to the present-day belief systems of earth, there is little connection because these materials are not created by earth teachers, nor are they only the words of teachers. They are encoded sensory data stream from an extraterrestrial teaching order that have a very specific purpose. The present-day belief systems of earth serve a different and more general purpose of moral conditioning, community-building, and spiritual preparedness. Only in this last element is there any connection.

The brain itself is divided into regions, and within the regions they are divided into subsets. Some subsets interact among themselves more than others, and these are called functional clusters. The brain is designed to have various circuits, of which contemporary brain researchers have identified three, which they call convergent, divergent, and reverberating circuits.

A functional cluster can have a divergent circuit that conducts neural activity to outlying regions of the brain or CNS. Sensory information (e.g., sounds, symbols, and images) can be produced that stimulates the temporal formation of just such a functional cluster within the thalamocortical system that catalyzes a pre-designated shift in consciousness.

Whether you can equate this shift in consciousness as inducing an increase in fluid intelligence is dependent on other factors. This is not a singular dynamic core, but rather an integral part of a larger dynamic system that connects the individual not only to their human soul consciousness, but that also of the Genetic Mind.

Within the thalamic complex is a subset known as the Intra-Laminar Nuclei (ILN). ILN neurons venture extensively throughout the cortex, enervating every cortical section. They’re distributed within the central region of each thalamus in a toroidal (doughnut-shaped) mode, enabling widespread influence on the thalamic system. The ILN activation is a significant key to the discovery of the Grand Portal.

The WingMakers’ music, art, and word symbols are designed to stimulate the ILN region to act as a synchronizing mechanism for human consciousness and the Genetic Mind. I realize this is difficult to comprehend, but as research into this brain function ensues over the next twenty years, it will be proven that the ILN is a key “engine” in synchronizing the human-soul consciousness to the fine-grain consciousness of the Genetic Mind, making the Genetic Mind accessible for short bursts at will.

There is within the thalamocortical system what scientists refer to as the reticular thalamic nucleus (nRt). It’s widely accepted by neuroscience that nRt plays a vital role in the judicious regulation of the flow of neural information between the thalamus and cortex. What is not understood is how specific sensory information (light frequencies, sound frequencies, rhythmic synchronization, ULF, symbolic images) can influence how the ILN and nRt systems interoperate to form a hybrid functional cluster that enhances fluid intelligence and accessibility to the Genetic Mind. This discovery is yet twenty years in the making, but it will occur, and the WingMakers will play a critical role in this discovery.

All That Is [See WingMakers’ glossary.] represents a library on a much grander scale than the Genetic Mind. In principle, the two are similar except for scale. All That Is pertains to the multiverse and the cosmic spirits therein, while the Genetic Mind pertains to the humanoid species within Superuniverse Seven. The imagery of All That Is is codified into a higher dimensional language, which in turn is encoded into the original works within the Tributary Zones. These are then stepped down in frequency to the materials contained on the WingMakers’ website and in the music CDs.

What is unique about the WingMakers’ materials is the subtlety of their encoding and the way in which the materials interleave. It is this interleaving of the materials (imagery, symbols, music, frequencies, poetry, meta-language, philosophy, cosmology, etc.) and the manner in which they activate deeper perceptions of First Source and the Wholeness Navigator that distinguishes these materials from previous dispensations.

All That Is, by its nature, is multi-faceted (wheels within wheels) and in order to distribute this multidimensional complexity, the dispensation must include both sound and light orchestrated into words, music, and pictures. These elements must then be orchestrated to trigger specific resonances within the human genome that lay dormant because—for the most part—present-day culture does not activate or touch these receptors of the human DNA.

This site is encoded with information specific to genetics, thus its structure takes on the form of a single helix with the chambers symbolic of the dormant, yet-to-be-activated protein clusters that will shift consciousness to a six-sensory human existence.

In the second section of the book, which will be released next year, the twenty-fourth chamber will be better understood. [The second section of The Ancient Arrow Project has not been released at the time of this writing. No explanation has been given for this delay. Ed.] There is also a philosophy paper that will help clarify the genetic symbolism of the Ancient Arrow site. Furthermore, the twenty-fourth Chamber Painting will be released before the end of July 2001; it is a significant piece of this puzzle.

The remaining six sites are of a different symbolic structure than the Ancient Arrow site, and yet there are certain similarities. All of them have a synthesis of art, music, poetry, language, science, and philosophy because this is the nature of the Tributary Zones. Some sites have a greater emphasis on music than poetry, or art rather than science. It varies depending on the symbolic focus of the Tributary Zone. Collectively the seven Tributary Zones, when strung like pearls, reveal the essential innovations that will be required in order to discover the Grand Portal.

I would recommend that anyone interested in knowing more about the structure of these sites should read the third chapter of the Ancient Arrow book and Chamber four philosophy papers.

While the seven Tributary Zones are revealed, the Grand Portal is discovered. Each of the seven disciplines of Lyricus is connected to a Tributary Zone. In other words, one of the Tributary Zones, known as the Ancient Arrow site, is focused on the human genome. The next site that will be revealed is focused on cosmological sciences, and so forth. Each of these areas of emphasis is subtly manifest (encoded) in the sensory data streams of their respective sites, and trigger an awakening in the mind of the recipient.

[The seven disciplines of Lyricus are Genetics, Neo-Sciences (Cosmology), Metaphysics, Sensory Data Streams, Psycho-coherence, Cultural Evolution, Sovereign Integral. Ed.]

However, the sites are different than those that I am describing in this story. In part, I’m doing this in honor of these sacred sites, but mostly I’m less interested in depicting the actual physical sites than I am in relaying an accurate portrayal of the seven Tributary Zones.

While physical events upon earth and the evolutionary status of humanity impact on the timing of the physical revelation of these seven Tributary Zones, they do not dictate the revelation of these mysterious destinations insofar as the individual is concerned.

It is impossible to translate these sites from their original dimension to earth, or any other three-dimensional planet, without changing the content. This is because the vibratory rate of the original materials must be decelerated, and in this deceleration process, change occurs. Technically, the process is less akin to translation from one language to another, and more similar to transposing from a higher key, or vibratory rate, to a lower. You can think of these seven sites as knowledge repositories, in multiple mediums (sound, light, knowledge, language, mathematics, etc.) focused on each of the seven disciplines of Lyricus. These seven disciplines are expressed differently, but each contains multiple mediums that heighten and emphasize how integrated knowledge is a spectrum that includes art, metaphysics, and science, and that unified properly, this spectrum is the key to unveiling the Grand Portal.

The equivalent of the Ancient Arrow site, within the galactic core, contains three-dimensional art forms that are always in a state of movement. They respond to sound wave pressure, as well as the thoughts of those who are present at the site. There is no method to presently replicate this on earth. Thus, the paintings must be fixed in time and space. I decide this fixed state, so, in this case, I am a “creator.” However, I have extensive experience in making these interpretations based on research of color vibrations, human perceptual systems, sophistication of the visual cortex, associative values of form, and methods of catalyzing new receptive fields.

In many respects, the sound requires a comparable process. The major themes are transposed to audible frequencies, but the instrumentation cannot be replicated. The sound generation of the galactic Tributary Zones is not from instruments, but rather particles set in motion by thought forms. Even in this oblique description, I have only hinted at the real process. It would take too long to describe. The important element to know is that I am allowed artistic autonomy to transpose the themes into new structures using human instrumentation, human compositional techniques, and human vocals. These elements provide an anchoring point to the music, making them more accessible to the human ear. From these descriptions, I think you have a glimmer of understanding for the process I use.

As for the encoding and how this is accomplished, I can only tell you that there is subtle information encoded within the WingMakers’ materials that operate as a navigational system, leading deeper into the purpose of each site or Tributary Zone. This is part of a selection process, and relates exclusively to the Wholeness Navigator consciousness. More on this aspect I cannot disclose.

There is another form of encoding, which is not esoteric, and this element relates to the interaction of the human instrument to the materials. The music, art, glyphs, and texts are encoded with mathematical and metaphysical embellishments that are accessible through interaction techniques, some of which have been disclosed in the fourth philosophy paper. Through these interactions, the human instrument decodes the information that helps it transition to the exploratory energy system where deeper insights can be achieved.

[The following answer by James contains the acronym “SECU.” For the sake of clarity I have brought James’ definition of a SECU forward. The definition appears later in this document under, Extraterrestrials. Ed.]“What you call humans, we call Sovereign Entities of the Central Universe (SECU—pronounced SeeQue). SECUs are the alpha and omega. They are not time-bound nor restrained by the adornments of bodies. They are the primal form finished and honed to the perfection of their creator, and in this, we are all the same.”

Lyricus is able to track and monitor SECUs (Sovereign Integral [sic.] of the Central Universe) [Sovereign Entity. Ed.] no matter what physical structures they inhabit. When we judge that a particular SECU is properly prepared, they (their Wholeness Navigator) are transported to one of our training centers, which is unlike any you can conceive of on earth. I use the words “Training Center” only because I can think of nothing else to describe them. Candidates are not necessarily spiritually minded, nor are they exemplars of humanity in terms of their personality, physical body, or temperament. They are, however, advanced SECUs operating in human form, typically unconscious of their mission and purpose.

These fortunate entities are escorted from their human instrument and guided to the Tributary Zone that is best suited for their purpose and mission. They are generally taught in the form of a dialogue—not unlike the Lyricus discourses depict. They are allowed to query masters, and the masters are allowed to elucidate on relevant topics.

It will come as no surprise that Einstein was one such SECU that was attended by Lyricus masters. He was allowed to formulate “his” theories through a dialogue with a single master. When he returned to his human instrument the experience and knowledge was lodged in his higher mind and a trigger was then required to draw it into consciousness.

These triggers are carefully orchestrated event strings that the master in charge of the SECU coordinates through a process we call—again, I’m translating as best I can—lucid re-orientation. This process requires that the information gained while at the Tributary Zone filters into the consciousness in a re-collectible state. In order for this to occur, Dr. Einstein would experience an event or EDSS (Encoded Data Sensory Stream) that induces, or triggers a recollection of a seed memory. The seed memory is the most critical part of the lucid re-orientation process because it alone carries sufficient power to draw the new knowledge into the conscious state of the human mind. I have grossly simplified this process, and words are very vexing limitations to describe this. I had better stop here before I completely confuse you.

The reason that the physically translated Tributary Zones are critical to earth-bound SECUs is that they are the most certain catalysts of the seed memory. It is very hard to transpose super-conscious knowledge and decelerate it for conscious recall by a human instrument. And this will be required in much higher frequency over the next one hundred years, so the Tributary Zones are being raised to a new level—an EDSS—that will trigger seed memories.

This material is not meant for the weak of mind or lazy of heart. It is extremely challenging on many different levels, discernment being one of them. There is a significant amount of information encoded into the art and music that bypasses the conscious mind. In this way, discernment is not required. However, The Ancient Arrow Project story is indeed fiction based on acquired insight of factual scenarios.

This is also true when contrasted with the primal Light and Sound of First Source. The Sound vibrations are considered more deeply connective and catalytic to the consciousness than the cosmic Light if for no other reason than that they are easier to absorb and assimilate than the structure of Light, which is often too intense to absorb and integrate.

In other words, you can look at a specific symbol of the twenty-fourth Chamber Painting (e.g., the second, primary character in the vertical matrix in the upper left section of the painting).

If taken out of its framework, this particular character means one thing, which would transpose to Sanskrit, but when viewed in its contextual matrix, it is elevated to Senzar, where its meaning is encoded as representing the Wholeness Navigator within the human instrument.

Senzar is a language that flows between alphabetic characters, mathematical symbols, and musical notes. It is an integrated language, sometimes referred to as the Universal Language of Light or the Insignias of First Source.

These original works are not “classified” by any government organization I assure you. They simply exist in a different dimension and are visible to a different range of senses. The DVD “Meditations in Timespace” is an attempt to capture some sense of how the paintings are actually presented in their native environment.

You are correct that the works developed by the Lyricus order are encoded (as we’ve discussed before); however, they’re not necessarily encoded in the numerological equivalents that you apply. We do not presume that this equates as effective instruction for the aspiring student. It is more the case that we are in the habit of encoding information for the purposes of discretion. When the habit is so well formed and the work is so important, as is the case with the Tributary Zones, we naturally encode information in numerological, symbolic, language undertones, mantristic rhythms, color frequencies, and musical frequencies. All of these aspects are woven into a deeper meaning that reflects the cosmological and multiverse structures that bind human consciousness to the Wholeness Navigator.

I can be likened to a translator who “transports” already existing Tributary Zones to earth in the form of a comprehensible sensory data stream. This data stream will have both explicit and implicit content that incarnating souls will be tuned to recognize. This material will awaken them to the blueprints of discovery that were encoded into their DNA at conception.

My information—as it pertains to the WingMakers’ material—derives from the seven Tributary Zones that were created by this very same teaching organization. I was involved in the design of these Tributary Zones, and consequently commissioned to translate them into data streams appropriate for the human neuroanatomical system, which required my incarnation into a human body.

There are so many definitions of the term “master” that I am not willing to say I am this, or I am not this, unless a definition accompanies the word. Since you did not provide a definition with your question, I cannot provide an answer. I will, however, acknowledge the spirit of your question, which is: what am I?

In this regard, I am as you are. I am a multidimensional being who lives simultaneously in a spectrum of realities. My dominant reality enables me to perceive behind and beyond the three-dimensional “surface” of this reality. Quite possibly the same as you or other readers.

In my case, as a result of this ability, I am able to translate art, music, poetry, and philosophy that are from my dominant reality into yours. In so doing, I have translated sensory data that have th einnate potential to catalyze future discoveries that will help redefine the human soul.

Now, does this mean I am a master? The output of personal behavior is always compared to the goal of your internal expectation and the output of your fellow man. This is typically how we are measured, are we not? There is no measure or comparison for the individualized purpose of one who is operating in accord to his or her purpose.

“Masters” abound in the human arena. Some are excellent teachers, but very, very few teach how to transition from the human-mind dominant reality to that of the human-soul. Even fewer teach how to transition to the awareness and functionality of the Sovereign Integral state. One thing I can tell you, trust no one’s proclamation (including mine), instead, examine in-depth the fruits of the supposed master and determine how they empower you to become your own self-sufficient teacher. If you can find this, then you have found a master worthy of your time and energy.

This was purposeful on my part because it would be relatively easy for certain groups to find me, and if they chose, compromise my mission. Thus, I have shared many truths about these organizations, knowing that these very truths are divergent from the established speculation and, ironically as it may seem, by this divergence, I am protected because WingMakers is perceived as a mythology and does not disclose hard evidence.

Because of my alliances, it is unlikely that anyone would choose to knowingly hinder this mission because these groups have a high regard for my lineage, which in some respects, is the only thing that restrains them. There is very little known about Lyricus. It is truly the most enigmatic teaching organization within the broader universe. Its capabilities are unknown, but it is rightly assumed to be respectful of this organization.

As for my personal anonymity, this is a choice I made in order to curtail my teaching mode to individuals of this time in favor of directing my life’s work to a select population of incarnating SECUs. This requires me to focus on transposing the sensory data streams of the Tributary Zones to a digital media platform for future generations.

I was not inspired to create the WingMakers’ mythology; I was commissioned to perform this specific task. No one requires inspiration to carry out a task required of them by the very nature of their purpose as a life form. Further, I did not create a myth; I translated a Tributary Zone into a sensory data stream that can catalyze the human thalamocortical system to awaken its innate connection to the Genetic Mind. I refer to it as a mythology only because I must convey—in good conscience—that the material is not completely factual. Also, myths enable a suspension of disbelief in the reader, an opening that is required for the spark of imagination, on the part of the reader/viewer, to feel the meaning.

As a member of Lyricus, I am focused on translating Lyricus content to human standards—both in terms of material and technology. This requires a significant effort and time. If I had the time to explain the translation process, I think you would understand. The material is encoded and this is the primary distinction. Translating this content is dissimilar in every way to translating Spanish into English. So time is an issue. More to your point, the materials are released not according to my timetable, but according to the mesh of incarnating souls, the collective signature vibration of the species, and the timetable of the Grand Portal’s discovery. The desire to have all the material available to peruse won’t be fulfilled for thirty to forty years. This is not a result of control or manipulation, but is in response to a plan that is well engineered and proven to be effective.

Yes, I will take on new students using the WingMakers’ material as the medium of my teaching. I intend to remain unknown as a human personality, allowing the sensory data streams of the Tributary Zones to perform the majority of my teaching.

[The photo of the lady can be found through one of the various hidden links contained on the First Source CD-ROM, which can be ordered at the WingMakers’ website. Ed.]

You may refer to my teaching order as Lyricus. It is the closest name that resembles the vibration of its true name in your native language. Lyricus is aligned with the Central Race, or WingMakers, and the great majority of its members are from the Central Race.

Within Lyricus, expertise is centered on seven disciplines. These include the fields of genetics, cosmological sciences, metaphysics, sensory data streams, psycho-coherence, and cultural evolution. [Sovereign Integral is the seventh. Ed.] We are not, as you can see, focused exclusively on philosophy or spiritual teachings. Our central purpose is the irrefutable discovery of the humanoid soul upon three-dimensional, life-bearing planets.

Lyricus could be likened to the Jesuits or Tibetan monks of the Central Race, except that they place a much more significant emphasis on the nexus of the integrated sciences and arts. Nonetheless, they are a faction of the Central Race and bear responsibility for shepherding the humanoid populations within the universe to the Grand Portal, and thereby indoctrinating the species, as a whole, into the broader network of the intelligent, interconnected universe.

This task requires a very broad agenda, encompassing genetics at its core, and the other six disciplines mentioned above as integral, but peripheral forces that propel a humanoid species to discover its own animating life force—the Wholeness Navigator. Lyricus employs a variety of sensory data streams to awaken a species, ranging from music, books, art, science, culture, and mythology. Generally, these are isolated expressions, but as the species draws closer to the Grand Portal, the sensory data streams are increasingly integrated, encoded, and represent potent forces for expansion of consciousness.

Upon earth there is an order of non-physical teachers with whom we coordinate our agenda and essential objectives. [The Hierarchy of Theosophy. Ed.] These teachers are experienced in the human condition, and thus possess the critical elements of compassion and empathy of which we—of Lyricus—are sometimes less replete. They provide stewardship of our objectives in the context of the human condition and advise us in the matters of the emotional and mental conflicts that confound and confuse humanity.

Now, back to your question. I am a teacher of encoded sensory data streams and was trained, at my request, to embody as the human translator of the galactic Tributary Zones, making them intelligible to the human race of the twenty-first century. The WingMakers did not reveal themselves to me any more than fellow human beings “reveal” themselves to you.

Perhaps one of the greatest secrets in the universe—as it pertains to organizations—is the Lyricus Teaching Order. It is a bedrock SOA that is invisible and likes to remain so until the Grand Portal is discovered.

If its identity were disclosed sooner, it would fall under swift and persistent attack by every quarter of power. (Within Lyricus, we refer to the Quarters of Power as consisting of government, science, religion, and culture.) We know this from experience. Thus, we work through existing structures and place our influence within every quarter. I am not, by any means, the only one representing Lyricus who is embodied at this time on earth. While I may be the nucleus of the cultural power quarter, I have counterparts in each of the other three quarters who are equally absent of notoriety and visible presence, but nonetheless are quietly going about developing their missions to promote the changes required to discover the Grand Portal.

Even as we introduce ourselves to earth, it is done under the guise of mythology and story. We do not assert ourselves in the context of fact because we would then certainly be feared by the alignment of power within each quarter. In this fear lies the natural tension of a species as it nears the Grand Portal. The quarters of power will resist if they know the goal is to establish the Grand Portal as a node on the Sovereign Integral Network [see glossary. Ed.]. This resistance would make impossible the necessary funding and lawmaking to achieve this breakthrough discovery. Thus, Lyricus sends catalysts to each quarter for the purpose of establishing a “null zone” that can act as an incubator and catalyst of these required changes.

Lyricus is an unimaginably large SOA [Source Organizational Alignment] with substantial influence and authority. Its “director” is the seventh Archetype of First Source. You can think of Lyricus as the preservationists of truth, and the only “truth” we seek to preserve is the accessibility granted a humanoid species to discover—through its own initiative—the Grand Portal. We work at the level of a species, not an individual, although we do work with individuals as a means to test our knowledge of the species. Earth-based organizations in the religious quarter are more inclined to work with individuals, so it is understandable that when someone hears about Lyricus or the WingMakers, they would naturally assert that DK [see Djwhal Khul. Ed.] didn’t disclose our existence, which is odd, especially if we were aligned in our objectives.

Lyricus is foremost a teaching brotherhood organized around seven knowledge categories—each a component of the process that enables a species to position their apex technology and knowledge in pursuit of the irrefutable scientific discovery of the human soul (known as the Grand Portal). This discovery, unlike the more personal, introspective process of the individual, is engineered for a species at large, and therefore, implies a much more significant effort and coordination.

It is in service to this goal, that the Central Spiritual Sun is indeed aligned and serves as an amplification system to the goals of Lyricus. The primary relationship between Lyricus and the Central Spiritual Sun is comparable to a sailboat and its relationship to the wind. Since Lyricus is an outbound mission, the Central Sun acts as an energizing force in the distribution of the teachings of Lyricus—not so much as a creator of content and principle, but rather as a readiness or preparatory factor in the target species for the Lyricus teachings.

While Lyricus is aligned intellectually to the Hierarchy and its goals and objectives, it also carries a separate teaching through encoded sound and light, of which WingMakers is a part.

[In his answer, James is using the term “Hierarchy” according to the Theosophical model, as explained in the Preface. James is using the vocabulary most familiar to the questioner. In this context, Hierarchy is earth’s SOA. See the section, Source Organizational Alignment (SOA). Ed.]

There is a wide range of methodologies that can be employed, and there are certain teachers who have found methods to synthesize these methods in such a way that they can cause revelatory experience in their students through a simple exchange of language. Mantustia has developed many of the most famous discourses of Lyricus. He is a master’s master of the most esoteric order within Lyricus that develops discourses, instructional methodologies, and experiential learning environments within the human genome. You will be able to recognize his voice as it is has an uncanny ability to integrate paradox with truth in an authoritative undertone. If heard in its pure, native language, Mantustia’s voice and wisdom borders on the incomparable.

The Form Builders (as I refer to them) are not the WingMakers. Think of the WingMakers as a collective identity, similar to the term we would use for “humanity”, except that the WingMakers represent the seventh universe central race. They are the “child” of the seventh Archetype of First Source, while humanity is the “child” of the WingMakers.

Within the WingMakers, just as within humanity, there is tremendous diversity. In other words, not everyone who is a member of the seventh universe central race is concerned with the spiritual welfare of humanity. Thus, a teaching resource was developed in very, very ancient times (as humanity thinks of these things), called Lyricus (its real name cannot be disclosed in the spoken languages of earth).

Lyricus, in itself, is a mythical wisp of smoke in the arcane/occult/mystery schools of earth. I am not permitted to disclose much about this organization, so it forces me to “dance” around questions a bit. The Form Builders are emissaries of Lyricus, but they are decidedly different from WingMakers in that their function for existence is to be exported to developing, life-bearing planets, and act as the genetic forbearers of humanoid life forms.

Within Lyricus are seven primary disciplines of knowledge. The centermost and unifying discipline is genetics. The Form Builders are part of this discipline, but they are more concerned with the species at its formative stages of development, and less so when it nears its apex opportunities for discovering the Grand Portal. The Form Builders are creations of Lyricus.

You’ve heard the expression “cycles within cycles” or wheels within wheels. Here it is expressed in the fact that each life-bearing galaxy has a humanoid archetype just as each of the seven universes has one, and within each sector of a galaxy (usually divided into approximately one thousand sectors) there resides a sub-archetype based on the galactic model. This sub-archetype is what is referred to in the arcane school as the Form Builders.

It is one of the beautiful ironies of First Source that Form Builders, for all their mysterious and cloaked identity, are actually present in every living human in the form of their body, mind, and spirit integration. The Form Builders are part of a very extensive organization within Lyricus that you can think of as a vast scientific body of geneticists, but not of the kind of earth. Form Builders do not study genetics, they create them; and they do not reveal their creations, they are their creations.

The strongest bridge between the AAB materials and the WMM is the Lyricus Teaching Order, but it will take some time before the teachings of Lyricus are brought to earth. Nonetheless, when these teachings are released, they will support the weight of many, many students as they migrate from the old worldview of spirituality to the new.

[The following diagram is taken directly from James’ answer to this question concerning the Manasaputras or what James calls, “Form Builders.”]

That said, however, the difficulty emerges as Hierarchies protect the vision of their source when three things occur:

• The source vision was time-bound for a period of one generation, and the organization outlasts the source vision.

• The source was not truly visionary or adept at forecasting human behavioral shifts based on environmental changes.

• Substantial threats or opportunities emerge that impinge on the vision and necessitate its modification.

Bear in mind that the Grand Universe, while being near infinite in its spatial dimension, is infinitesimally sparse in terms of humanoid populations. Because of this condition, human populations learn how to interact across the spatial dimensions of space through the use of SIN [see glossary, Sovereign Integral Network]. Trading is the most common reason that humanoid populations interact; the second most common is to form alliances of safety.

Trade Alliance Organizations (TAO) [This sub-heading continues the above description of SOAs. Ed.]

These are the two most sweeping forms of SOAs within the physical, Grand Universe. There are very sophisticated and far-reaching trading networks, or what are sometimes called (this is a loose translation) Trade Alliance Organizations (TAO). These particular examples of SOAs form the very basis of the Hierarchy as it extends into the life-bearing planets that have become activated on the Sovereign Integral Network.

There are also planets whose populations have achieved a certain level of spiritual depth and awareness that causes them to abstain from the use of humanoid SOAs and participation within the TAOs. These are the most evolutionary advanced humanoid populations, and generally they prefer to remain outside of the conflicts that naturally arise from humanoid SOAs and TAOs. These populations invest their time and energy into manifesting a SOA of First Source and helping other planets in their evolutionary trajectory.

It is within these planets that Lyricus establishes an outpost. This outpost carries the seed vision of a SOA, but one that is aligned to the vision of First Source. Among these planets is a form of communication and organization, which could be referred to as a SOA or Hierarchy, but this is not the Hierarchy of which you have formed a mental picture.

The Hierarchy (as you define it) was the seed that was planted by the Lyricus team that worked with the human tribes of earth. In the span of one thousand years the human mind evolved dramatically, and with it, technologies emerged that were amazingly sophisticated. Most of these technologies were employed for the purpose of spiritual evolution of the species, however, as is always the case in a free will universe, not all of the human tribes could resist the psychic and mental manipulations of political leaders who saw the conquest of land resources more desirable than the development of spiritually evolved societies.

The Hierarchy’s SOA began to shift as a result with a higher priority placed on self-preservation. Its spiritual values and goals came under attack, and it was forced to recede underground. In part, because of this schism, the great flood exercised a new calculus on the human genome, and effectively began a new species. The Hierarchy took this learning to heart, and patience became a more desirable expression of its macro-personality. Its teachers became more visionary about the long pathway that stood before humankind.

One of the interesting observations I have made about the human mind is how someone who is revered as an authority can unintentionally define the borders of belief so resolutely for their followers. DK never reported that there was not an extension of the Hierarchy beyond the borders of the Milky Way galaxy, and that this grander order did not impact on, or influence, a local system.

It may surprise you to learn that DK (during the time of his transmissions to AAB) was not aware of these extra-galactic contacts of the Lyricus and seventh universe central race other than by myth. So, by his omission, it is assumed that he was of the opinion they did not exist. He simply didn’t know about Lyricus because it was outside of his mission objectives. His work required more focus, and when you open up this “can of worms” (Grand Multiverse Hierarchy) you need to assemble a team to disclose this information because it is too broad and deep for one personality to attempt to disclose (hence the nature of authorship of The Urantia Book).

Limitations of Metaphysical Writings [This sub-heading is a continuation of the above question and answer. Ed.]

The object in the lower right-hand section of the diagram that bears a resemblance to an antenna represents the knowledge base of humanity in its current view of the Grand Multiverse. Lamentably, it is overstated because it is impossible for me to depict a thin enough line and still make it visible. Suffice to say that The Urantia Book comes closer to depicting the horizontal view of the Grand Physical Universe, and the AAB materials comes closer to depicting the vertical view of the multiverse. Nonetheless, you can see that the “antenna” is only scratching the surface of the Grand Multiverse.

How can one person depict this breadth and depth of the infinite and expanding multiverse? They cannot, and if it is tried, they will do it a terrible injustice and their results will be misleading. Now, the universe and multiverse that DK depicted was contained well within the “antenna”. It wasn’t his objective to depict the grandest vision of the multiverse. It was his interest to depict the local system’s energy fields and its hierarchy, as he understood it.

[In order to maintain the continuity of the topical arrangement I have removed three paragraphs of this answer and placed them within the “Lyricus Teaching Order” section. Ed.]

But as I said before, DK was not aware of Lyricus at the time of his transmissions to AAB. Yes, he knew that the Hierarchy extended beyond his (and the Great White Lodge’s) mental construct, but he didn’t know how far, or for what purpose. The discovery of the Grand Portal has never been disclosed in any of the materials of the earth-based religious quarter. Given that this is the singular focus of Lyricus and humanity, doesn’t it strike you as peculiar?

This glaring omission from the religious quarter of humanity is a reflection of how the religions of earth object to, and/or misunderstand, the advance of science and technology. For example, DK never transmitted science in the context of genetics, and yet, within Lyricus, this is the nucleus knowledge. For DK, science was the consort of Antahkarana, triangles, or invocation (to name a few examples). It was not the science of the double helix. His conscious mind did not possess this vocabulary or knowledge, and therefore there was no way for him to speak directly to these topics.

[Antahkarana is a Sanskrit term that means the building of a bridge in consciousness between the everyday concrete thinking mind and the abstract spiritual mind, or what James refers to as higher mind. Ed.]

In terms of the externalization of the Hierarchy, it varies by planet/species. There are approximately thirty trillion potential life-bearing planets in superuniverse seven. Soul Carrier DNA is distributed on approximately .0015 percent of these planets, or about 4.5 billion planets. Can you imagine the scale of such an enterprise? Of these, the Hierarchy is externalized in a very small percentage—less than 1 percent, or about forty million planets, comprising some 840,000 different species.

As you can see, externalization, from the view of the Hierarchy is a process that encompasses a much larger scale than terra-earth. As it pertains to your question, all earth representatives from the White Lodge are working among humanity. I assume what you really mean is which known masters are physically incarnate at this time.

[The externalization of the Hierarchy is a major factor in the AAB/DK teachings. To date, James never directly links the Lyricus/WingMakers’ materials with the externalization process described by Djwhal Khul. In fact, James never referred to this event as the “externalization of the Hierarchy” until asked by individuals oriented to the AAB/DK teachings. However, there are hints within the material indicating that the Lyricus mission initiated by James in the form of the WingMakers’ website (1998) and later by the Lyricus website (2004) do, in fact, represent the initial stage of the externalization of the Hierarchy.

[In WingMakers’ Philosophy, Chamber Four “Beliefs and Their Energy Systems,” James appears to describe the “externalization” as the “Return of the Masters.” As can be seen here, James freely discusses this topic as a natural extension of the work and mission of Lyricus to earth. Also see the section, Christ’s Return to Earth. Ed.]

Number of Masters in the World [This sub-heading is a continuation of the above answer. Ed.]

I am not at liberty to disclose this list. I will tell you that there are approximately 165 masters (sixth [degree] initiates and above) who are physically present on terra-earth, and who operate as the vanguard of the spiritual corps, mostly through ashramic activities. There are some masters who have ventured outside of the relative anonymity and protection of the ashram, but these number less than a dozen, and apart from one name, you would not recognize them in the literature of Alice Bailey or others associated with the White Lodge.

Avatar of Synthesis [This sub-heading is a continuation of the above answer. Ed.]The Avatar of Synthesis is instructed through Lyricus and, as you know, operates in conjunction and coordination with Christ. The Avatar of Synthesis is intimately involved in the Lyricus objectives, knowing that the Grand Portal and the return of Christ Consciousness galvanize and make durable the One Humanity and One World consciousness.

[The fact that James specifically mentions the Avatar of Synthesis is significant because it indicates his detailed knowledge of a specific term originally published in the Alice A. Bailey books of esoteric philosophy.

The AAB works mention various orders of avatars. The term “avatar” is Sanskrit and generally means a messenger from a higher world who visits a “lower” world in order to give spiritual guidance. The Avatar of Synthesis is identified as a cosmic avatar and therefore comes from somewhere outside our solar system. Ed.]

Jesus incarnated not for the purpose of begetting a religion. He simply expressed his vision of the spiritual dimensions, making First Source accessible and singular. His fellow humans were so eager for the fulfillment of prophecy that they imposed upon him the mantle of Messiah, which he hesitantly agreed to shoulder.

Jesus presently serves a leadership role in the teaching organization of which I spok earlier, which is made up of authentic spiritual leaders of earth. [James is referring to the Hierarchy. Ed.]

He is very much aware of both the WingMakers and Lyricus. An interesting footnote: While the religious organizations compete for human membership, those teachers who are responsible for the religions’ origin, operate in collaboration and cooperation beneath the same, bold banner—human evolution.

Those teachers who have translated from the physical to the interdimensional realms remain powerful teachers of humanity. They shift their focus from individualistic missions to collaborative missions, and in this spirit of collaboration, become increasingly powerful as change agents for the human condition. Jesus, in particular, operates as a managing director of the teaching organization [the Hierarchy], and in this role, interfaces with Lyricus on planning and analysis of the Grand Portal.

There is a common understanding among the teaching core that the confluence of science, art, and religion is inevitable, and it will culminate in the scientific discovery of the human soul, and more specifically, how the human soul is designed. Much like the physical body has a human genome, the spiritual body, or Wholeness Navigator, has a spiritual genome. And this genome is far more important to understand than the human because it is the causal element, while the human genome is the receptor.

There are six components to this effort that are coordinated:

1. Lyricus designs, transposes, and installs galactic Tributary Zones to a planetary system.

2. Earth teachers (non-physical) prepare the species for acceptance of the Grand Portal.

3. Earth teachers (physical) discover the way to the Grand Portal via the Tributary Zones.

4. Earth teachers (physical) disseminate and preserve the knowledge of the Grand Portal.

5. Earth teachers (physical and non-physical) unite humanity to the Sovereign Integral Network.

6. Source Intelligence and Lyricus facilitate the process throughout the Grand Universe.

Jesus’ role is of high importance in stage two, and in approximately eighty years, in stage five. He essentially leads this process with the collaborative assistance of the entire teaching organization of ascended (non-physical) teachers. [First published July 9, 2001. Ed.]

The timing for the return of the Christ is related to the timing of the emergence of the Church Invisible. The two are inseparable. In the Lyricus vocabulary, the Church Invisible is the emergence of the Grand Portal and its preeminence as the unification platform of legacy religions and faith-based belief systems. The Christ Consciousness will only prepare the Church Invisible to reign within the human heart and higher mind, and Christ will, in effect, ascend in evolutionary service thereafter.

In regard to your question about timing, it is impossible to place specific time measures to events that involve complex human decisions. It is truly, in the end, a human decision, not one imposed by the Hierarchy.

The WingMakers’ teachings are one of the first stages of this externalization process, which consists of transmitting the catalytic forces of the Tributary Zones to the communication networks of the world population.

The Christed One is an energy field that accompanies these teachings and those individuals that immerse within the Tributary Zones with the intention of accelerating their consciousness for the purpose of discovering the Grand Portal.

The Christed One will not return, so much as become acknowledged in the post-discovery period of the Grand Portal. This is the consciousness-shift of the planet and the human species. A specific set of technologies will make possible the acknowledgment of Christ, which has been referred to as the Return of the Masters. In reality, the world teacher will be the Grand Portal.

Christ, non-personalized, is human salvation from the grips of a repressive energy system that places human beings in a survival mode of consciousness. Christ is the Grand Portal.

The Antichrist, therefore, is represented as a collection of forces that resist the discovery of the Grand Portal for fear of the changes it will bring. Ironically, these forces will be largely generated from religious centers, and consequently, governments, in many instances, will be forced to follow.

If I were to say that the Antichrist is organized religion, it would be too general a statement. I can only tell you that the powers behind humanity’s major religious organizations will eventually unite and resist this discovery with all their strength. This has been foreshadowed in many prophecies, but the religious authorities have been loath to share it. It is not commonly understood in religious circles, but the major power centers of religious activity on earth each possess an inner circle of authority, and these individuals are at least dimly aware of these prophecies, and in one instance, are crystal clear about what the future holds in the twenty-first century.

For example, the inner dimensions of Earth are far more developed and multi-faceted than those that exist around Jupiter, despite the fact that Jupiter is precisely 10.7 times larger than Earth. The concentration of life forms and the accessibility of these life forms to the Genetic Mind, Source Intelligence, and Entity Consciousness create this interwoven, multidimensional matrix of worlds. When multiplicity, or “worlds,” “planes,” or “realms” is depicted in myth or even modern day descriptions, they are referencing these inner dimensions, and not the seven universes of the physical Grand Universe.

Regarding your question about angels, angelic beings are not from outside universe seven (our universe). Indeed, neither are they from outside our galaxy.

As for the Zeta Reticuli, they are like all complex, humanoid species; they have multiplicity in their behaviors. There is no single personality that defines the species. Some factions or sub-cultures of the Zeta Reticuli are unpleasant by human standards, and yet they have their reasons for their behaviors, which I understand. Because I understand them, I can faithfully report that while I don’t support or honor their behavior, I am not against them as an enemy. I simply withdraw my support and openly acknowledge this among those I associate with.

Regarding the Galactic Federation, this is a form of hierarchical command and control, and while I honor its mission and support its purpose, I personally am not bound to its rule nor am I subject to its hierarchical structure. I do, however, respect the opinions of the Galactic Federation and would carefully weigh their suggestions to the extent they impacted on my personal mission.

[Note that the section on Source Organizational Alignment (SOA) states that hierarchical orders such as the Galactic Federation exist. Hierarchical pantheons of gods recorded by ancient civilizations such as the Sumerian, Egyptian, and Hindu, to name a few, may be earthly reflections of cosmic SOAs such as the Galactic Federation. This is indicated further by James’ comments in the SOA section in regard to earth’s Hierarchy of master teachers. Ed.]

Set this aside for a moment. What animates the human instrument? What is ensouled within the body? Isn’t it a consciousness of understanding, borne of the archetype of souls known as First Source? Is this not of extraterrestrial origin? Both the animating force and the bodies within which this force expresses are not of this earth. What you call humans, we call Sovereign Entities of the Central Universe (SECU—pronounced SeeQue).

SECUs are the alpha and omega. They are not time-bound nor restrained by the adornments of bodies. They are the primal form finished and honed to the perfection of their creator, and in this, we are all the same.

Now, to your point, extraterrestrials are walking around on earth, you just don’t recognize them as extraterrestrials because the human genome and the genome of many extraterrestrial races are essentially the same. There will be ETs of a different cast that will make their presence known in the next decade, but they will not interfere with the social order.

When the Grand Portal is unveiled by human hands you will invoke the attention of the Galactic Federation, and humanity will be invited to interact in the affairs of the galactic family. It is then that the diversity of the humanoid species will be appreciated, and it is precisely for this reason that humanity must come to understand itself as a SECU first, and human second.

To your point about devas, they are not confused with the ET and UFO phenomenon. Only on rare occasions do people make this error of identity. There is, however, a very sophisticated program of indoctrination being played out by both ETs and factions of our intelligence communities. These are responsible for the frequency of ET/UFO reports, as in the case of abductions. Bear in mind, that I am an ET by definition. In the broader view, we all are. We all stem from extraterrestrial origins. Some of us simply remember them better than others.

The Dark Lodge continues to consume and project power within the physical and emotional planes of terra-earth, irrespective of the external events of war. In other words, wars and political unrest are not barometers of the Dark Lodge. Rather, the signs of the Dark Lodge are found in the ethics of adults and children, and how, on a collective basis, these situational ethics re-direct the global culture away from the divine will-to-good. [Note that James’ employment of the term “will-to-good” is part of the Alice Bailey/DK lexicon. Here, James is indicating his knowledge of this lexicon. Ed.]

Until the Wholeness Navigator (a component of the human soul) is discovered and its practical applications are employed by a critical mass of humans, the Dark Lodge will dominate in this physical realm. Their domination is enabled by the human species that lack identification with the unification force that the Wholeness Navigator anchors within the higher mind. This feeling of separation from the brotherhood of souls is the singular weapon exploited by the Dark Lodge to recruit, retain, and motivate its followers.

This feeling of separation from the brotherhood of souls is the singular weapon exploited by the Dark Lodge to recruit, retain, and motivate its followers.

Cultural genocide (I’m making a distinction between racial genocide) is one of the more subtle ways to displace indigenous control of the resources in the Middle East. One could argue that the Dark Lodge or the U.S. government knew that something like 9/11 could occur, but they did not prescribe the method of destruction, nor did they enable it specifically. Rather, they project their power and the cultural autocracy associated with it, knowing a reaction is inevitable.

To every unchecked power, there is a resistance movement. It is a law of the universe, and the Dark Lodge is very well aware of it. However, the resistance movement can be manipulated to invoke fear, and it is this fear that further degrades situational ethics, opening the door to involution.

Regarding levels of discipleship or evolutionary status, this is a very personal matter and is never disclosed by Lyricus teachers. Furthermore, any undue emphasis on initiation status, particularly unrelated to your own, is misdirected energy.

This specific condition of ignorance creates the duality of good and evil and its reliable shadow of sin. As depicted so admirably in the media, the enemy of the United States, and indeed the free world at large, has been sculpted into an unrevealed network of terrorists who personify evil, while we, the free world, stand erect as the embodiment of good. I invite you to contemplate the vulnerability of this paradigm.

The conceptual structure of humanity’s success does not lie in the simplistic notion of the triumph of good over evil. Instead, it lies in the investment of scientific and technical resources, coupled to the self-reliant ingenuity of the human race to discover the Wholeness Navigator and share this discovery with the world’s population. This will not be done with the full cooperation of the human race. Indeed, it never is. There is always the dampening effect of those who fear the changes that will follow in the wake of this vital discovery.

The terrorist network is a facet of this dampening effect that will assail all efforts to unify humanity, and it will not be the only form of resistance. As humanity enters into the unfolding of its next three generations, this network will test it repeatedly, and at times, as witnessed this week, with brutal effectiveness. Ironically, terrorism fulfills the very role it eschews inasmuch as the common enemy unifies.

Those elements of the population, whether they are countries like North Korea and Iraq, or radical religious factions, have one thing in common: they dread unification of the world’s people because they fear that their unique ethnicity, culture, and religious customs will be extinguished, while those populations who strive for unification believe their cultures will be a foundation stone in the new, global society. This is a fundamental anxiety of our time.

Once a world’s population reaches a stage of global communication, those nations who can apply the global communications platform naturally seek a conceptual structure that unifies the population, first economically, and then, militarily. Earth is well underway in both arenas, but the dampening effect of the terrorist network is what will help to temper the will of the population to unify. Once this unification is established, the population will be better able to collaborate and share, and this is precisely what the scientific discovery of the Wholeness Navigator requires.

It is completely rational to be outraged by the brutality of these recent attacks; it is also sensible to understand them in the broader context. Our political, military, and media leaders do not share this perspective, not because they lack sensibility, but because their systems of reference are designed to protect what has been established by previous generations as our self-interest, rather than to understand the broader context as it relates to the vital discoveries that lie ahead.

I know in the minds of each of you lies the gnawing question: Where will this invasive terrorism lead and how far will it go? Will it lead to a world war? Will the world economy weaken as a result? I can answer yes to the last two questions, but it will not overtake the world’s progression to unify, but rather hasten its realization. While sacrifices will be required, it will generate a new sense of collective purpose and connection among the nations and tribes of earth.

If you remain absorbed in the media-defined expression of this dramatic story as it ensues, you may be entrained to think and act as our leaders do, which is centered on the protection of the self-interests of the free world. You may instead choose to rely more on the leadership of your inmost self during the times that will come, and place the events in the broader context of the journey that lies ahead—both for you as an individual and humanity as a whole.

Each of you must feel as though you have walked unwittingly through a gate, and, having seen what’s on the other side, you want to return from whence you came, but the gate locked behind you. We have entered a new world where your vulnerability has been drawn in sharp relief. What lies ahead is not of our conscious designs, but rather it is an expression of our accumulated self-interests and general ignorance of the Wholeness Navigator, and subconsciously, there are few on earth who do not realize this.

There is no one to blame for this condition. It is an evolutionary element of the long process for a humanoid species to achieve the scientific discovery of the higher dimensions from which humanity is woven. Upon this journey humankind has struggled before, but it has always found its way forward to its ultimate goal, and it is this goal—subtle as it may be—that seeks to articulate itself in the hearts and minds of all of you who are incarnate at this time.

There will be new tests that will assail humanity throughout the twenty-first century; some will be more profoundly shattering than those witnessed this week. Invariably, your leaders will draw a line between good and evil and seek to eradicate the evil, and in every instance the target will only extend further into the deep recesses of obscurity and de-centralization.

There is a strategic plan for all life-bearing planets, and this plan is not established at the outset and then cast aside. It is constantly undergoing refinement and adjustment. The only stability in this plan is the ultimate goal; the journey itself weaves, stalls, accelerates, and sometimes even reverses in direction. There is, however, the guiding hand of First Source that never releases, nor turns away in indifference, and this same hand touches into the deepest part of you—especially in times such as these, and it proffers insight.

My message to each of you is to listen to this insight in the quiet of the night or morning, in the natural ways of the sky, the ocean, the woods, or fields, and invite it to reveal the emotional intelligence that survives the physical body. Allow this to prevail in your heart and mind even amid the unsettling times of today and the future. When you capture this insight, anchor it in your life by expressing it through your senses of touch, sight, hearing, and sound. You can think of this as the Reassurance Vibration. It is the vibration you will want to carry inside of you and share.

These resources are the lifeblood of the Dark Lodge as well as the powerbase upon which they rise to prominence and exercise their greed. It has been this way for hundreds upon hundreds of generations. This is as true for terra-earth as it is any life-bearing planet with soul carrier DNA pre-Grand Portal time.

A planet’s vital and valuable resources attract those who identify with power instead of brotherhood; exploitation instead of collaboration. This is the very basis of the Dark Lodge.

When the Native Americans underwent this process they initially had resistance movements, but eventually succumbed to the interminable force of the white expansionist movement. This will not be the case in this conflict. It will continue for many decades in cycles of ceasefires and hostile resumptions.

The Manu of the Fifth Race is not concerned with matters of this kind. If it were, it would not prepare for the next evolutionary standard of the soul carrier DNA. This is the vital task that consumes the Manu at present. [See fn. 2. Ed.]

A very bright man by the name of Vannevar Bush (no relation to GWB) headed up a small group of brilliant physicists who were working with the ACIO when it was newly formed.

Bush was the ostensible leader of this scientific force who was tasked to perform some reengineering feats of UFO technologies. These initial extraterrestrial technologies were purposely left for discovery as a means to accelerate the time of the networks (Internet being the first stage—SIN being the culmination stage). [See Sovereign Integral Network in glossary. Ed.]

The walls of secrecy are always permeable within the government and military, and Bush became known as a superior investigator of these technologies. This project was held in higher security than the Manhattan Project. However, because Bush was too visible and potentially a risk, this re-engineering project was funneled into the ACIO where Bush was given the opportunity to join.

He declined because of the need to essentially leave society and become anonymous. Bush, even at that time, was being groomed by the Central Race to help invent the stage one Network infrastructure, and he had a semi-conscious realization that his real mission was involved in this endeavor, and not the ACIO.

Fifteen was also being groomed for the position, but was considered less trustworthy as a person with whom the military and Incunabula could rely on to follow their own agenda. Nonetheless, Fifteen was considered a far brighter and more capable mind to initiate the sort of discoveries and fathom the potentials that these extraterrestrial technologies held.

During the time when Bush was leading the re-engineering efforts, he was asked to participate in the earliest experiments in time travel. Even Einstein was consulted for a short time on these experiments, which were conducted in absolute secrecy. The outcome, while unsuccessful, did generate an enthusiasm within the Incunabula (for all the obvious reasons); however, it was not given any additional funding by the military so the project was closed.

The project file ended up in Fifteen’s hands, and there were some elements that were found useful (dealing with transitory states of degaussing). A copy of the project file also ended up at Brookhaven. This copy later turned into the Montauk Project, but was quickly diverted into mind control experiments that went awry. The military really controlled Montauk, while the Incunabula controlled the ACIO (in the early years of its development).

Now, as for the credibility of these men and their association with the WingMakers, I will leave this to you. I will only add that the Central Race works through individuals in such a way that they do not know they are being worked with. Those who claim this communication do not generally have it.

If they have alignment to the Grand Portal it will be obvious in their deeds and words, even if they don’t know about the WingMakers or the intrinsic nature of the universe. I understand your lament that people miss the spiritual undercurrents and sometimes rush to the superficial eddies of conspiracy and cover-up. The two dramas are very different in nature, but they are not incompatible.

The orientation that humanity is emerging from the relative darkness of the third dimension to the fourth dimension is a misconception of the modern-day New Age movement.

Humanity evolves to embrace the multiverse, and as it evolves it discovers that its superuniverse is accessible to the human mind in ways that defy logic. This is the stage upon which humanity is entering, and it is not to ascend in a vibratory epiphany to a higher dimension, but rather, it is to interact with a broader multiverse of intelligence that heretofore has only been imagined by a handful of humanity’s finest representatives.

Humanity will remain in the third dimension, but will increasingly become aware of the higher dimensions while living in the third dimension, even as First Source, its creator, does. First Source lives in the third dimension, but is simultaneously aware of itself throughout the spectrum of the multiverse, and through Source Intelligence, is aware of all life forms in all dimensions. Humanity will ultimately access this same perspective by applying the Grand Portal as a “lens” through which it can gain admission to First Source consciousness. First Source—in this specific example—is less God than the archetype of the Wholeness Navigator.

Advanced Incoming Souls [This answer was originally part of question 17-S3. For the first part see Initiates 17-S3A. Ed.]

Within the next three generations, an influx of advanced souls will be incarnating within terra-earth. We call this influx: Symmetry of Spheres. These advanced souls (most from outside this solar system) will be encoded with predispositions of transformation. By the year 2080, they will be over two hundred million strong. These are the transformers who will bring symmetry to the asymmetrical physical and emotional realms. It will be the leaders of this movement that will be responsible for the discovery and irrefutable proof of the human soul.

This is the climax of human achievement in this evolutionary cycle, and it is the undeniable goal of all within the White Lodge because this discovery is not personal. It is not sheltered in the sanctity of the individual’s realm of experience. It is the externalization of the Hierarchy, and it will touch every consciousness with its indelible mark.

The Christ Consciousness will anchor it and the Church Invisible will protect it from all who try to malign, suppress, or prevent this discovery.

In the Lyricus vocabulary, the Church Invisible is the emergence of the Grand Portal and its preeminence as the unification platform of legacy religions and belief systems.”

Every evolutionary system is designed to ultimately transform into an innovative system with a new, but related purpose. Evolutionary systems have a distinctive culmination that is the catalyst that enables the transformation to occur. In the case of humanity’s present evolutionary system, the discovery of the Grand Portal is the distinctive culmination, and when it occurs, it will shift the evolutionary system from a human species/planetary focus to an interdimensional species/intergalactic focus based on humanity’s ability to use the Grand Portal as an interface to the Sovereign Integral Network.

The responsible application of the Grand Portal will fall to the disciples of the Sacred Path to faithfully execute. All of the training, preparation, and sacrifice of today is designed to enable the disciples of the future to responsibly manage and protect the findings of the Grand Portal. This is the focal point of the Hierarchy, though not all within the Hierarchy are aware of this overarching goal and its culmination, which is anticipated in the latter quarter of the twenty-first century.

It is true that the human instrument, in some cases, is undergoing changes, and that these changes can be experienced, sometimes with intensity, and sometimes with remarkable subtlety. However, the more profound changes—those dealing with the fundamental structure of the human instrument—do not necessarily manifest as physical discomforts or emotional depression.

Very often physical discomforts and emotional turbulence are attributable to a myriad of unrelated causes, which, I’m sure you’ll agree, are unconnected to this fundamental evolution of the human instrument. Each must use their discernment and self-knowledge to differentiate the effects of the weather, diet, conditions of stress, etc. from those more fundamental changes that are occurring at the atomic or sub-atomic levels.

The human instrument is a composite structure. It is not merely physical. It includes the pathways of the mind and emotional intellect that are intertwined more intimately with the Wholeness Navigator than is the physical body. It is the Wholeness Navigator that is expressing its form of consciousness through the human instrument more vividly, and this expression energizes the pathways that connect, or “bridge” the mind and emotional consciousness with the Wholeness Navigator.

You can think of these pathways as a root system. The mind and emotions are like the roots of the physical body, drawing nutrients from the Wholeness Navigator. If the Wholeness Navigator is activated to express itself more vividly in the physical, three-dimensional world, its nutritional supply is intensified and the mind and emotions will undoubtedly absorb this intensification and pass it along to the physical body.

The presence of the Wholeness Navigator is invisible to the human instrument, and, for the most part, is not felt directly. The higher pathways of the mind imagine it, and these images are translated to the emotions and body through music as vividly as any art form. Every person reacts a little differently to these translations; there is no standard reaction.

The important thing to understand is that the presence of the Wholeness Navigator is pressing into the physical dimension and leaving its indelible effect. There are many reasons why this is occurring, but the most notable is that the individuals incarnating at this time are consciously, and in some cases, subconsciously, calling forth the Wholeness Navigator consciousness to radiate its unification energy to the human instrument.

I realize that this may not be the conscious plea or prayer, but it is the hidden form of the communiqué, and when this is done, the Wholeness Navigator intensifies its vibrational resonance. The human instrument begins to activate, or change, as a result. This change is very fundamental and is generally felt as a growing sensitivity to stress, which, in the physical body, can manifest as headaches and body aches, numbness in the limbs, and rapid energy surges and depletions.

The physical reasons for this have to do with the tenth chromosome and how it regulates the stress-coping capabilities of the body, mind, and emotions. The Wholeness Navigator is called forth by the human instrument, and the human instrument is activated by the intensification of the Wholeness Navigator. The activation of the human instrument causes profound changes to the DNA structure, brain chemistry, and the central nervous system.

This activation is a natural evolution of the human instrument. It arises from the desire to feel unified and whole, which is precisely what the human instrument was designed to obstruct. Remember that the human instrument is what enables the Wholeness Navigator to experience separation and individuated experience within the realm of time and space. Thus, if it is to embody the unification vibration, it must transform.

This transformation is not occurring as broadly as your question implies. It is limited to the human instrument of a small percentage of the overall human population. I am aware that there are reports alleging that the earth, as a whole, is undergoing nothing short of a global transmutation, but it is not the case. Transformation occurs one individual at a time, at the request of the individual. It is not orchestrated for all life forms simultaneously because this would require a cessation of free will.

As more and more individuals call forth the Wholeness Navigator, and subsequently alter the function of their human instrument, it becomes easier for new generations of humans to embody the unification vibration within their human instrument. This is all part of the divine blueprint for the evolution of the human species as a soul carrier capable of cosmological exploration.

I hope this explanation, while brief and admittedly abstract, is helpful to your understanding. As with any subject of this magnitude, I could write a hundred pages and only scratch the surface of the topic. Having written only a few pages, you can imagine how inadequate this rendering is. However, time doesn’t permit me to provide you with all the details.

This is the dawning of the synthesis model of existence for humanity in general. Its chief feature, in terms of being visible to the general public, is the sense of validation it brings to the belief systems of immortality and human interconnectedness. On most planets undergoing this process, the synthesis model of existence dawns at the discovery and propagation phases of the Grand Portal. It has a radical and desirable effect on institutional integrity—that is to say, any institution that has been based on the previous models of existence, atrophies and either adjusts its organizational rules, or it self-terminates. [See Models of Existence in glossary. Ed.]

Focus on alignment to that which resonates with your core instinctual sense of the universal objectives. I have made the bold assertion that the discovery of the human soul in the irrefutable laboratories of human science is the next phase of the universal objective as it pertains to the human species and planet earth. If this resonates with your core sense of purpose, then align to it. This will accelerate, amplify, and catalyze the blueprint of your Sovereign Integral state of consciousness.

Anxiety of Ignorance [This answer relates to the circumstances of many spiritual students who feel that they are no longer fully engaged with the everyday world, and yet, at the same time, feel that they are not fully present in the world of spirit. Psychologically, they feel that they are between two worlds. See 32-S3. Ed.]

As for your question, the human instrument is a complex and intricate vessel of which you, like all humans of this era, have a small degree of understanding (despite modern science).

The human instrument is operating on multiple levels, multiple dimensions of time-space, and is extremely sensitive to psychic energy. It is not a function of being between worlds; it is the anxiety of ignorance. It is entirely natural to be anxious about one’s ignorance. All humans to varying degree have this anxiety. It is not reserved for those on the path of self-enlightenment; despite that fact it is articulated in the vocabulary of “dark night of soul,” “the perceptual lag of spiritualization” or “self-initiatory defeatism” that have become—what my associates refer to as—the complaining vocabulary of initiates.

You relate your experience in a humorous way (in your letter). I commend your sense of humor. It certainly brought a smile to my face. Humor is an excellent weapon against the anxiety of ignorance. Just remember, in the hopes it makes you feel better, you are in very good company.

Anxiety of ignorance is as omnipresent as the human instrument itself, and its prevalence is due to the reality of the human instrument’s inability to “know itself” through the mind. It can only know itself through the Wholeness Navigator, but paradoxically, this knowing is not in the format that is acceptable to the human instrument.

The WingMakers do the majority of their communication during the dream state because the gates of the thalamocortical system are relatively closed, and there is complete focus on the inner communication at hand. If you have willingly immersed yourself in the WingMakers’ materials, you can safely assume that you are already in rapport with members of this teaching organization. You are very likely experiencing the Tributary Zones during your dream state, under the tutelage of one or more of these teachers. Open yourself to this possibility and dream it alive to your senses.

This applies equally to the WingMakers’ material. It is not intended to be an exclusive collection of sensory data streams—quite the opposite. There are entities incarnated now who will be returning in human embodiment in the next one hundred years who will play a significant role in the unveiling and dissemination of the Grand Portal. Their involvement with these materials now will help them navigate to these roles because it will recalibrate their internal value system, and in some instances, literally recast their destinies.

Moreover, while the actual discovery of the Grand Portal may ultimately be credited to a handful of individuals, it will be the achievement of millions of entities that grafted their intellects, actions, and inspirational ideas together to build the ultimate mosaic of the human spirit. Anyone involved in these works will be a part of this mosaic. [See also: Significance of the Grand Portal Discovery. Ed.]

That said, I understand the nature of your question, and I will give you some general guidelines. There are slightly fewer than one hundred thousand initiates who are presently incarnated upon earth who are following the Wisdom Path loosely established by the Hierarchy. That is to say, they are following the principles as set forth by the masters and practicing these principles in their day-to-day life. Not impeccably, but with the human qualities of inconsistency.

When a student of this mindset meets a teacher like myself, it can often be unsettling for them because I will rip apart the indoctrination like someone who unwraps a mummy, exposing its frail skin to the sunlight. If the student survives this, they will look upon their role differently. They will walk a sovereign path built on their own inner wisdom, and it may not have a thing to do with the Hierarchy or ashramic work or this ray or that ray. [James is referring to the seven rays, as found in the Theosophical and Alice Bailey/Djwhal Khul (DK) philosophies. Ed.] It will be about the entity’s expression in real-time, and how that expression is resonating with those whom its life is intricately connected. It is about living the Life Principles of the Sovereign Integral.

Returning to this individual, he came to me one day and announced his plans to leave. He had felt a need for some time to return to his indoctrination (my words, not his), and like the prodigal son, return to his master. He felt that I was not carrying on the tradition of being a master who teaches knowledge by words and deeds, that I was too enamored by teaching through art, music, psychology, etc. To him, he needed a teacher who could tell him what to do, where to go, how to get there, and who to be once he arrived.

1. They operate in CoD (Caves of Disconnection), which undermines the spirit of collaboration and sharing that is required to refresh and revitalize the teachings. The cave metaphor is also relevant to this issue because the natural tendency of the disciple is to keep the esoteric teachings esoteric. This applies not only to the Wisdom Path of the White Lodge, but also to the related fields of genetics, particle physics, sound and light theory, cosmology, the new psychology, and so on. Disciples need to educate themselves in all these areas because they are all related to what beckons humanity.

2. The teachings of the Sacred Path are neither rigid nor complete. Disciples must retain their flexibility and willingness not only to evolve the contemporary teachings into new territories of expression, but also to look for how the teachings can be synthesized or hybridized with new teachings that are arising. Disciples have the liability of being locked into the traditional paradigms and protecting their intellectual appeal for the sake of ego and the familiarity of comfort.

3. The esoteric is very hard to make exoteric unless it clearly demonstrates an ethical nature that is manifest in the disciple’s life. In other words, the consistency of right relations and the will-to-good is expressed faithfully across the life stream of the individual. This requires an exceptionally disciplined approach to one’s communication, and I use the term communication in its broadest meaning.

Experience of the Wholeness Navigator is not in any way related to MOTE, and this experience is what I teach. The problem with experiencing the Wholeness Navigator is that for some students they find themselves unable to become teachers themselves, and this is why most students or initiatives arrive to my door. They desire to be teachers of MOTE, though they masquerade as students of spirit.

Why? Because as a teacher of MOTE they suddenly belong to the Hierarchy, hoping to launch themselves like an ascending rocket to the heavens where all things are possible. The lurking, subconscious equation: Mastery of MOTE + Ascended Master + Initiation Process = Control. Thus, when a student comes to me, I scrutinize their intentions, filtering the authentic desire for experience of the Wholeness Navigator from the indoctrination artifacts that create a leaning towards MOTE.

Control is the indoctrination artifact that leads many a student to my door, though they generally are not aware of it. I would ask you to ponder this. Examine your intentions, and see if you desire experience or knowledge. They are not mutually exclusive, if experience of the Wholeness Navigator is prized above control; and if the expression of the Wholeness Navigator is honored above the acquisition of MOTE.

I will return momentarily to the scenario I mentioned earlier in this letter. If you are a prism of a contemporary Tributary Zone of resonance to your heart and mind, and that part of you, referred to as the Wholeness Navigator, arises as your teacher, you will see that you are not a concretized prism of a particular shape, but that you can shape-shift to any geometric shape desired.

This is the beauty of experiencing the Wholeness Navigator and expressing its innate abilities. You are not protecting or professing MOTE; you are not an initiate desirous of teaching and control; you are not parroting the words of your master; rather, you are transparently transforming contemporary Tributary Zones to the dispersed masses of humankind who are seeking a new direction that is illumined by the tools of art and personal experience that have been decelerated to their particular needs.

In closing, I want you to know that I am not impugning the value of the ashramic missions as I know them, but rather, as you know them. You know them through the words of prisms not yet aware of their Wholeness Navigator. You know them through the MOTE that other initiatives have expressed from obsolete Tributary Zones. There is much less division and specialization within the Hierarchy than is acknowledged. The masters are not interested in MOTE… the initiates are.

Know thy self before the world, is an ancient edict, and the vagaries of the external cosmos, while interesting to know from a curiosity perspective, are not particularly relevant when compared to understanding one’s personal universe.

The simple answer to your question is: no. However, instead of elaborating on your question, I choose to focus on the issue of the Minutia of the Esoteric (MOTE). MOTE creates a telescoping complexity, and as long as the foundation of one’s personal universe is clear and well understood, this complexity can be integrated and useful. On the other hand, if the personal universe is faintly understood, then MOTE will serve another purpose altogether.

It is not a coincidence that Lyricus refers to this condition of external inquiry and speculation as MOTE. A moat [MOTE] around a castle is a form of protection and fortification. Think of your personal universe as a metaphor for a castle, MOTE as the moat, and the cosmos, or external universe as the potential enemy for whom your moat [MOTE] is designed to repel. If you construct a moat [MOTE] you only do so if you believe the external will invade the internal and somehow weaken, diminish or even destroy it.

In the sequencing of creation, the internal begets the external and thus, no mote is required, unless of course, the creator is unsure of their creation. This is the key element to ponder.

I know there are those who will tell you that the universe is composed of an absolute and objective reality. After all, it is accurate that the sun is the center of the solar system for all who dwell upon earth. And while there are fixed rules about geography and spatial relationships, little else can be “nailed down” quite so definitely, even in the physical world the densest of the assembled fields of vibration we call the multiverse.

However, as one casts their view beyond the MEST dimension (MEST—matter, energy, space, and time), they awaken to the realization that these super dimensions offer a subjective component that is acutely personal, malleable, and responsive. These fields of vibration support the primal impulse of the individuated and immortal consciousness that defines its reality in all worlds of its expression, including the MEST dimension. If not for the perceptual lag that MEST density necessitates, this creative flow would be clearly visible.

There is, as you know, a psychological condition sometimes referred to as consensus reality. If five thousand disciples of the Sacred Path said that Sirius’ heart center was our sun, and only five said it was not, consensus reality dictates the five contrarians are wrong or misguided.

I ask you a simple question: why would any teacher care to dictate or even weigh in on the consensus realities of MEST when MEST is simply a distant echo or artifact of the more vibrant worlds within the individual?

It is an observation of mine that the condition of MOTE is partly an outcome of the Hierarchy’s sequencing and emphasis of its dispensation of knowledge, and partly a product of how integral the personal and cosmic realms truly are.

These two realms are like conjoined twins with different personalities, minds, and temperaments, yet forced to walk as a single body. The body becomes the fixture of compromise, the garment of disorder. There is certain chaos, or disorder in the conjoined worlds because like competing gravitational fields, they pull you in different directions.

Within Lyricus we have a phrase: What is within is without equal, and it arises from the smallest space where the First Vibration of the Unmanifest surges in the splendor of One World’s Grace. Here you are the Creator-Perceiver as well as the Perceiver-Creator, the one who determines fate and destiny. This you can control. This you can embody for all ages.

What is within the MEST worlds, you can only give your energy and time to the transitory realities of the many or the few.

I am aware that I am being abstruse, and somewhat indifferent to your original question, but if you look carefully, you’ll see your answer—not so much in the literal text, but in the consciousness behind the words.

The desire for the knowledge of MOTE is largely a function of ego. There are many highly developed spiritual teachers with initiations in excess of the seventh level that cannot tell you fundamental answers to questions of MOTE. This is because consensus realities—the realities of the many in MEST—do not have relevance in their teachings. I know a teacher who is gifted in the matters of the heart chakra at its most esoteric levels, but if you asked him a question like what is the relationship of S3 (sacred sound symbols) to the 268 cellular meridian lines in the palette and the hypothalamus, he would shrug his shoulders. He would desire to know the answer, but only because it is potentially related to his area of specialization, since the energy system of the individuated consciousness is holistic and unified.

However, if the question posed was of a cosmic order, as in your first question, he may know the answer, but would likely turn your attention to the personal level, reminding you—as I have—that before your field of inquiry expands to the cosmos, understand first what you are composed of, what you are, what your relationships are to First Source, what your service/dharma is, what you project into your personal universe and why.

“text-indent:2.3em;”>From my experience, the finest teachers turn the inquiry of cosmic MOTE to the fundamental understanding of OWOBIK first, the esoteric understanding of OWOBIK second, the relationship of OWOBIK to its origins and destiny [third], the relationship of OWOBIK to the cosmic plan [fourth], and finally the specialization path upon which the individual will bring forward their gifts of spirit [fifth]. Each stage of this sequence is not hermetically sealed from the others. The walls between them are porous, but nonetheless the teacher maintains the area of focus in the various stages.

Please understand that if I were in your presence I could ask you ten questions about the human ear-brain complex and you would fail me ten times; not because this information isn’t available at your local library or bookstore, but because you have not studied it. This, I assure you, is more important to understand than the cosmological order of distant solar systems.

Does my answer mean that the disciple should never make inquiries of cosmic MOTE? No. There is nothing wrong with this line of inquiry so long as you understand that it has implications and that you approach it aware of its innate shortcomings. Are there exceptions to this rule? Yes, there always are.

I have seen students who have an inborn gift for cosmic MOTE and it is an essential component of their dharma’s specialization. These individuals tend to be enamored of cosmic MOTE, trying their best to articulate and validate what they intuitively sense, which are typically artifacts of other lives or portals of consciousness that are subliminal to their conscious perception. These students are like detectives in search of hidden light switches in a darkened room.

The belief—subliminal as it may be—is that if they can throw the light switches to the “on” position, their enlightenment is assured; their karma is cleared and they are suitably in control of their destiny. The reality is that the darkened room is not cosmic, it is personal, and the darkness is the motive force that awakens the “Detective” to know thy self. The cosmic MOTE is a primary distraction along the way.

What is exciting and worthy of your energy—as it pertains to the cosmic—is the pre-form and pre-cognitive aspect: the unity behind the polarity. The multiverse is the ultimate open system, always self-correcting and seeking the dynamic equilibrium of its seed vibration. The individual is a particle of this macro-system, vibrating in resonance. In the individual’s deepest core it already understands what is necessary to know about the cosmos, and it is in a developmental, evolutionary state of mimicking the pre-formative aspect of the multiverse.

The key word in your question is “potential.” Yes, the human instrument is inherently connected to First Source through Source Intelligence. And yes, this connection provides access to infinite and dynamic knowledge, however, this point of access, or portal is not a simple thing to consciously attune to, nor is it “on-demand” at the discretion of the individual. Contact with Source Intelligence is a transformative experience and can have the unintended consequence of unbalancing an individual who is not properly prepared for the transmission.

Stepping down the vibration of sound and light, and making it more accessible to students is what Lyricus is primarily concerned with. Lyricus does not recommend that anyone become dependent on any external teacher or material. To do so implies stagnancy and devolution relative to one’s potential learning path. The WingMakers’ Materials are designed to catalyze specific receptors within the individuated consciousness and create a resonance. Through this resonance, the individual will “click into” their own awakening—revelation—transformation, and through this process they can more effectively wean themselves from external instruction and dependence.

Your “true place” is not a place, position, port, or location at all, but rather a projection of the attitude, or outlook of the Sovereign Integral consciousness. Let me explain it this way. Imagine the following scenario: a light beam, a prism, and seven individual rays from out of this spectrum cast upon a wall. Imagine yourself looking down on this scenario. There are four recognizable components, are there not?

1. The beam of light

2. The prism

3. The spectrum of seven rays

4. The wall

Now, let’s examine the scenario more in-depth. The wall is constructed of materials, thus the wall can be reduced to its component parts (stone, concrete, mortar, bricks, etc.). The spectrum, as we all know, represents millions of colors, though there are only seven that our eye-brain may immediately recognize. The beam of light has an origin, a wavelength, and a destination. Thus, everything has a multiplicity, but the prism.

The prism remains singular and sovereign. It is the catalytic force, in part, because of this singularity. Informed entities in this time, are transforming into catalysts or “prisms,” and the Tributary Zones can be likened to the beam of light. You may begin to see yourself as this prism that projects the beam of light from a Tributary Zone against the wall of your choosing. As a prism, you are no longer concerned about what ray you are affiliated with, nor the location of where that ray lands upon the wall. [Here, James is referring to the theory of the seven rays found in Theosophy and the Alice Bailey/DK philosophy. Ed.]

Let’s move to a new point of inquiry in this scenario. What is a prism? A prism is a transparent optic that is shaped to bend (transform) light. Since the refractive index of a material varies with wavelength, prisms are useful for dispersing different wavelengths of light. When light enters a solid material from air, the speed at which the light travels decreases. The light is decelerated, or stepped-down. If the light enters at an off-normal angle, the direction of the light changes. The light is refracted to a new path and can illumine therein.

Consider this scenario as it applies to your “place.” Note the italicized words and how they transfer to your own definitions of mission and purpose. Note also that prisms can be fashioned into a wide variety of geometric shapes, and that there can be anti-prisms as well. A triangular, equilateral (60° angle) prism disperses and decelerates light differently than a hexahedral prism.

If informed entities can be likened to prisms, then the only questions left remaining are the following:

• What light beam do I disperse and decelerate (make intelligible)?

• Upon what wall do I disperse the spectrum?

• Where do I position myself to optimally process the light beam?

• What kind and shape of prism do I choose to be?

Do you see how your question has been shifted or restructured? In effect, I have been a prism for your question. Now that your question has been dispersed to a new wall, it can be seen in a new light. In this new light, it is no longer about affiliations or alignment or ports of call. It is about four answers that are akin to choice.

I have been purposely vague in order to furnish you with broad interpretative latitude, but then, what are catalysts for, if not to be incomplete?

There is one additional suggestion I would like to share with you. We are entering a time when the ability to destroy the old and create the new is a skill set of unparalleled value. It takes great insight to detect the weakness of one’s own work and destroy it, while creating a new work in its place. Light, as it passes through prisms, becomes degraded over time and matter. In other words, informed entities will disperse a brighter, bolder, more visible spectrum of light if the light source is of their time, space, and matter.

I am of the opinion that the power is self-contained in the new. There is only the effect of dilution by constructing bridges and hybrid models. This work is about the destruction of the old as much as it is about the construction of the new. This is yet another trait of the non-aligned—the willingness, even eagerness, to flush the mind of the old in order to attract into oneself the new.

I would also add that there is nothing to reconcile between the global and personal realms. What occurs on the global stage is part of a larger drama that provides individuals with a platform for discourse and interaction. Modern media simply makes these dramas more accessible in real-time, thus raising the level of stress because in real-time there is limited factual context. The facts emerge in the future—sometimes measured in days, sometimes in decades. Speculation is the fuel of dramas as well as human interactions. It is not necessary, or even desirable, that the personal realm be reconciled with global politics. What occurs in the personal realm is infinitely more transformational than what can occur in the global—particularly where politics is concerned.

You can imagine that a concept has multiple levels of reality. One person can, for the first time, read a word like Spirit and gain a vague understanding, and, over the course of their lifetime, continually deepen their understanding. In some rare instances, they may even experience a state of connection to Spirit (or Source Intelligence). At the point of experience, they realize that the word Spirit is a hollow symbol, but one filled with a trace of the radiance or energy from the experience.

Think of it like this: a radiant ball of energy (like the sun) burns underneath all concepts related to First Source. Around this energy are thousands of layers of interpretation—some of these are words, some symbols, some emotions, some mental constructs, some are pictures, some are dreams, some are hopes, etc. However, every level contains some of the light and energy of that radiant ball of energy, and because of this, it magnetically pulls the consciousness of the individual deeper into awareness.

This is true of the technicalities you refer to. Verification is only accessible in personal experience, and even this is temporary within the three-dimensional world. I have known students, who have been granted wonderful exposure to these “radiant balls of energy”, and they often fall into doubt and even depression after the experience because they cannot sustain their belief that the experience was authentic.

In other words, even verification or personal experience is overrated. It only matters how you transfer your level of experience and knowledge into works that are aligned to the objectives of First Source and live your life according to the principles of the Sovereign Integral.

If you have a very basic knowledge of these concepts, but you live according to the principles of the Sovereign Integral and you produce expressions aligned to First Source, you have your verification in your words and deeds, and you add to the radiant energy system of these concepts.

The keyword is add to the radiant energy system, not experience them for purposes of verification. I know you might think that by verification or personal experience you would be better able to add to the radiant energy system, but only in rare instances is this true. For most, they become unbalanced and seek more experiences. Their desire to experience overpowers their desire to practice the simple, but powerful principles of the Sovereign Integral.

Initially, an individual may encounter difficulties as a “clearing” of the old is made to accommodate the new frequencies, but if the individual proceeds and pushes beyond the clearing, they will be rewarded with a new sense of balance, expansion of consciousness, and most importantly, the new thought stream that proceeds from the WingMakers’ sensory data stream. These new thoughts produce new, creative actions and event-strings that lead to an entity’s purpose becoming manifest.

The emotional body is a renegade within the human instrument. It possesses great powers of will and determination, but it is also capricious and undisciplined. It is this volatile combination unmanaged that prevents the embodiment of the higher powers, which the human body was designed to contain and control. Those who are worthy have learned how to manage this element of their human instrument.

The Harmonic Concordance—like all astronomical events that seem orderly (non-random)—is indicative of how the grander scale of the universe can imprint on the consciousness of a species and an individual. The universe is a powerful catalyst of the inborn instinct to ascend in consciousness, but our species has fallen to the gaze of a ten-foot experience called television, and seldom, if ever, searches the night sky.

The concept of cloning is decisively absent in any of the esoteric works, and yet I can tell you quite candidly that the investigation into cloning will yield a very critical component to the discovery of the Grand Portal. Again, when scientific vocabulary and constructs are absent from a religious body of work, the text will tend to gravitate to the etheric or the moral. The former being highly subjective and therefore relatively immaterial, and the latter expressing the bias of control and therefore is limiting. The masters of the Great White Lodge [Earth’s spiritual Hierarchy. Ed.] did not intend this; they simply lacked vocabulary and understanding.

Also, it is a false assumption that disease is “karmically engendered.” Disease is an outgrowth of many things, sometime it’s karmically related, but more times than not, it is an outgrowth of a deeper purpose: in this case, the discovery of soul. Without the medical technology that disease demands, the human soul would remain a fixture of faith and therefore, it would find its way into a subset of a species, but not carry the powerful import as when it is proven to exist by science.

Disease serves a purpose for the broader species even though it seems absurd in the context of the individual. The medical technology that a species develops to combat its own mortality is precisely the technical footing required for science to prove the existence of soul. [The Grand Portal. Ed.]

Unfortunately, they were applied for other purposes by most initiates (e.g., mind control), and in this misapplication, their innate power was diminished.

Patanjali’s presence on earth is well obscured because of his extraterrestrial origins. He was an advanced thinker and academician of his time, and very few could understand his real teachings in regard to synchronizing the vibration of the Wholeness Navigator to the human instrument. [Patanjali was a Hindu philosopher who created a series of sutras describing a form of yoga related to the mind. This is often referred to as Raja Yoga. Ed.]

I am unable, at this time, to answer your question regarding Master P. [The Master P is referenced in the books by Alice Bailey and Djwhal Khul (DK). Ed.]

The Urantia Book is most closely aligned with Lyricus’ cosmological sciences discipline, but it was not written or composed by Lyricus. It derives mostly from interdimensional sources—the equivalent of an earth-based teaching organization, only from a different planetary system. Sometimes planetary systems will exchange important writings or revelatory works for the purpose of circulating philosophical ideas or important revelations. This work is such an example.

A Treatise on Cosmic Fire is more concerned with the macrocosm and microcosm definitions as they pertain to a narrow field of view of the multiverse. Its insight and resulting presentation of the cosmological structure of the Grand Universe is unsubstantial, and its prolific use of the Eastern esoteric terminology provides a barrier to the Western mind, something that The Urantia Book does not. This is not a criticism of Cosmic Fire, but it is one of the reasons that the readership of The Urantia Book is more widespread than A Treatise on Cosmic Fire.

With regard to the simplistic approach to cosmology as contained in the current WingMakers’ material, this is done for several reasons. First it is not the purpose of these materials to teach the cosmology of the physical Grand Universe or the subtle fields of vibration known as the multiverse or multi-dimensional reality. There are books yet to come that will do this. The WingMakers’ material is designed to inspire newly incarnated personalities to their earthly purpose—the discovery of the Grand Portal. It is one of many works that will have this impact. It is a signpost, not an encyclopedia of knowledge. It is a catalyst, not an expository of spiritual or cosmological information.
