Step Two: Viewing a Three-Fold Life on Earth by Brenda Tucker June 8, 2000 INTRODUCTION When H.P.B. wrote THE SECRET DOCTRINE, she did so under the direction of masters, who also assisted her in founding The Theosophical Society and at various times throughout her life, as the story goes. There is a familiar prophecy in theosophical circles concerning a messenger which H.P.B. said would come in the last quarter of this century. I do not understand what ingredients would make a messenger, but I, personally, achieved the realization which I am honestly trying to communicate to people in charge who can do something other than "understand" what I am saying. I have this message (of a sorts) and being well aware of the theosophical expectations do not notice that anyone else has fulfilled a calling regarding messenger status. In my efforts, I have more than one purpose. I have learned by evidence of past occurrences that personal elevation involves sacrifices. I recognize that I am forgoing my associations, my family life, my marriage, my reasonableness, perhaps my life at some point due to my effort to make this idea known. I do not feel that anyone finds it particularly interesting, but know that scientists appreciate a yen for truth and do intend to find reasons for things by their methods. Do you think I am a scientist? I have an education here in the U.S., but fall far short of that standing. What I would like to do is impress on the scientific community exactly what I have found in my experimentation with life and ask that they use my findings in educating youth and also in finding more realistic solutions to today's problems. ANGELIC KINGDOMS IN CONTRAST TO EVOLVING KINGDOMS Angels are of different varieties. The new postulate in my work (which is not indelible) is that there are two groups of angels in operation: one which comes with the new kingdom (which I have named Girasas) which is currently perhaps descending to earth and the second group, which abides currently on earth along with the well embedded kingdom of man. If a kingdom of nature is creating a habitat for themselves to use in the future, then they would require a responsiveness in the angels comprising the material realms. During the creation phase, the angels or bodies currently here on the earth, i.e., animals, plants, and minerals, would respond to their creator's urges during the first three racial periods (as described in my previous paper). At some point, the loss of a need for contact and the need to provide direction to the angels ensues and man becomes intent upon his larger purposes. Likewise, the capacity for humans to behave as good and correct could become lost in the course of this cyclical evolutionary scheme, due to the inherent differences in the seven-fold phases we consecutively and orderly pass through. When the turning point of the fourth race is reached, humankind must reconcile that each side is present in his nature. He can find good in what he does and has done historically for three races, and he can suddenly and to his surprise and dismay find himself at fault and to blame for wrong, mistakes, etc. as a new and peculiarly fourth race experience. During the fifth race, where we are said to be now, humans have acclimated themselves to religion in a way which should help us to co-exist with a descending kingdom. This process helps to prevent us from a complete and sole identification with the activities associated with being a lesser kingdom of nature. Through purification techniques and "calling" to these advanced lives, we open ourselves to their influence ever more, we access their greater stores of knowledge, and we align ourselves with a purpose which is not strictly our own. And so while the strictly "human" or "isolated human" activities become stressfully considered wrong or error-full, we are redeemed in a sense by the currents of thought and energy flowing through us from a higher source: a kingdom of nature whom we love to identify with, regardless of our own personal estimation of self-worth. When this Girasas Kingdom acts through us and within us, we achieve certain benefits through association and are not at the mercy of our own limited potential, which although did serve us adequately, if not quite well during our period of descent through an animal kingdom. Our purpose as a kingdom ascending would be to mark our place well, protect our present attainments, try to benefit through learning new ways, and whatever else we can figure out lies open to us as permitted activities while conjoined with a higher Girasas being. The descending kingdom would be the ones primarily interested in creation, and would have a different line of reason in accessing angels due to the work of creation. This work would go on through all forms: minerals, plants, animals, even humans. I don't know what would happen to us as humans, but feel that our three-fold nature could entail: 1) the evolving life form and therefore the descending higher kingdom of nature, 2) our own human self, and 3) the two sets of angels, which we will group into one. Human could be defined by some to mean only fifth race man. Human could be expanded by others to include fourth and third race men as they were physical races. Human could be further expanded to include all seven races, however Saint Germain Foundation does not attempt to do this. They reserve and restrict the use of the term "human" to refer to our present stage so that technically when we achieve sixth race or ascended man, they do not consider this to be a human form of existence. There is certainly a secret involving the apes which is hinted at in THE SECRET DOCTRINE, and I wish so strongly that others would look into this book by H.P.B. for fuller explanation. I know my limitations and unfortunately I am not an organized researcher. I take care of children. I study and I read. I am beginning work as a real estate appraiser trainee. Here is a simplified reason about why humans suffer ailments that animals don't (taken from a previous discussion with a random passerby through internet activities): Angels are of the temperament to improve themselves by being obedient - in contrast to mankind's growth by free will. Angels do have difficulties with their health, but I have heard it is because of the filth which mankind project into their living spaces and onto their bodies by their thoughts and by the process of characterizing them as evolving. An obedient angel would be a cooperative energy which mankind should try to harness in new ways. It is possible we have as much to learn in "commanding" the angels as they do in accepting our commands. Is it a secret language? I don't know. Perhaps they receive commands from other sources, being especially attuned to a godhead in a sense. THE SECRET DOCTRINE discusses apes as exceptions to the rules of the other animals. The apes (in my estimation) serve as a gateway or crossover point for those in the angelic kingdom who are energized enough by humans to effect a crossover. It doesn't happen very frequently, but there are also some humans who desire and work towards their departure from the human kingdom and acceptance into the angelic realms. Perhaps it is discouraging to know that there is such dissatisfaction within a few members of either hierarchy, but because the plan of nature is flexible, we are endowed with some movement and some individual decisions. The theory can be put like this: The humans are for a time the only evolving life on the planet Earth, surrounded by angels inhabiting all other natural forms. The angels are here and being developed by men and women as we see fit. However, they are of a tendency to reach for greater and greater awareness in a diverse manner to any evolving life. When they gain capacity to "fulfill the command of a great being", then they are pushed forward in their own unique way. Let's look at a simple example such as "Heal my sick lemon tree." Using this example, we see the dog, cat, squirrels difficulties. Likewise the neighboring trees are slightly better equipped, but could still improve their capacity by journeying into the depths of life as minerals, chemicals, and such compositions, which could enter the body of the tree and work from there. If the involving angel could be projected further, it could serve as thoughts or feelings which could utilize the resources of other life forms, including the human beings through their methods to aid an ill tree. Once, the human kingdom is replaced by the next kingdom of nature (similar to the way we assumed earth from the residing animals or dinosaurs), we experience a relative inadequacy by observation of their advanced manners, which makes us associate with wrong, i.e., evil, mistakes, negativity, etc. It is not truly the case that we are bad by nature, only that the superior kingdom alongside of ours assumes the work of creation and we are left viewing ourselves as a destructive kingdom - perhaps the nature of our work as receding at some point in the scheme in order to 1) advance by association with them, 2) meet our responsibilities again with the struggling animals, and 3) complete a phase of our growth, wrapping up so to speak the attainments we have made during this earth time. This is a quick rundown of some of the ideas along tangent lines to the main idea presented in the first paper. I know it is somewhat confusing without all of the details being presented by a more capable writer. I am trying to interest those who have a desire to know and to express themselves by pointing the way. I do not think I am always presenting the material as it should or could be presented, but still do not have associations which perceive the feasibility of discussions regarding these types of topics.
