Archangels and Laws, Magic Words, Tools for Evolution

Your Super Powers – Raphael

As you read in Your Super Powers – Khamael, the Archangels are actually powers within you, activated by invocation and intention, which assist you in creating your world, enhancing it and moving on to the next creation.

These super powers allow you to create in multiple realms in this universe.

Again, the formula is:

The Archangel invokes the power of the law, working with the principle, to produce the attribute.

Raphael, pronounced RAH-FAH-EL, invokes the power of the Law of Process, working with the principle of Differentiation, producing Beauty.

Traditional Invocation: Raphael, Raphael, Raphael. Divine Process perfects, fulfills, and completes what I know.

Discussion: The Divine Process is one in which things evolve to become complete and unique, differentiated from other similar things. Teacher Sheariam said: “While everything IS, there is a becoming, a process. It is through this process that things become different from each other. And beauty lives.”

My favorite invocation for Raphael is: With Raphael I joyfully declare, “I realize Beauty in every moment.” Raphael, Raphael, Raphael.

Discussion: As with the invocation for Khamael, this format states the intention of the invocation prior to the invocation and affirms an attitude of joy. Joy is a necessary component of the enthusiasm that is part of the fuel of creation.

“I realize Beauty in every moment.” means I make it real in my consciousness and my life. I move my awareness to where it exists in its completeness. Expect and look for beauty, wholeness, uniqueness and you’ll find it. Like snowflakes and leaves, Beauty is always there by virtue of the universe unfolding moment by moment, yet being fully complete in nature. And in the creative process you view and focus on the details within the generalities and do what it takes to expand and enhance your creation to make it unique and useful. Allow things to morph as they develop. It’s their nature. Provide a nurturing environment and guidance. Let nature do the rest.

Karmic Wheel

The Cyclic Phases of Creation

Karmic_Wheel

Chart Courtesy of Owen Cramer.

What the Teachers call the “Wheel of Karma” or “Karmic Wheel” is a much larger concept than the “Wheel of Karma” that’s spoken about in philosophical literature. In common parlance the “Wheel of Karma”, like the Sanskrit word “samsara”, refers to being tied to a reincarnational cycle of births and deaths until one has “paid one’s dues”, so to speak.

What the Teachers call the “Karmic Wheel” might be more understandably termed the “Cyclic Phases of Creation”.

There are 12 phases, the first 6 of which comprise “involution”, and the second 6, “evolution”. That is to say, first things take shape, then they become specialized and complexified to the extent that they have a new function, and, perhaps a new appearance, and the twelve phases begin again at a new level. And, as they say, “Your mileage may vary”. The time spent in any of the phases depends upon awareness and action required to move to the next phase.

The teachers indicated that this applies at both a microscopic and cellular level in the development of an organism and at a human level where we develop as a person and take our consciousness to higher levels.

As you can probably tell, this overview is just the tip of the iceberg on the subject. And, as I have alluded to before, the Teachers have their own definitions to all these words, and I will address them in future blog entries, under the category “Karmic Wheel”. Of, course, if you can’t wait, you can go to

Illucidations, Tools for Evolution

Your Bodies

There’s a lot of occult literature out there about our various bodies being in layers or like sheaths: Soul Body, Vital Body Emotional Body, Mental Body, Etheric Body, Astral Body, Physical Body. The Teachers indicate that the layer “model” or conceptualization is somewhat misleading. “While they are generated from the inward to the outward by the ego, they are not as separate as the layers of onion skins. They are more interpenetrated.” (Saturday Session #8)

So what is a body, really? It’s a composite of capabilities.

The physical body is composed of groups of cells specialized in function giving the various capabilities of our body parts, among them the ability to experience, navigate and act in the physical realm. Similarly, the mental and emotional bodies are capabilities to experience, navigate and act in the mental and emotional realms which, like the physical realm, all humans create together and share.

What are soul bodies? Soul capabilities have to do with generating “egos” to fulfill missions working out the ramifications of the Laws. “Egos” are teams of “personalities” to do the work of enhancing the universe. The Teachers say that we, as personalities, don’t have souls, souls have us and we work on their missions to fulfill the 12 Soul Intentions (big subject).

So what’s the inner core holding these bodies together? The Teachers use the word “rod” to describe that unit of individuality at the center of us. It has been compared to our DNA. The well-known phrases “Thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me.” and “Spare the rod and spoil the child” show a common interpretation: The rod is used to help guide us along our appropriate path. In this instance, the rod defines or contains our capabilities and our uniqueness and regulates form.

So, how can you use this information? It doesn’t have to be complex. If you enhance your life moment by moment with love, joy and creative benefit to the world, you’re “good to go”.

Perspectives

Gloria Rivers –- Live On in Peace

Gloria2

In the language of the Temple Teachers, the entity who adopted the personality we knew as Gloria Rivers, our channel for the Temple Teachings, inhabited a physical body from 4/12/28-11/26/14. We celebrate her life as we knew it, and as it continues in the Spirit Physical. She still has her vital body, her emotional body and her mental body and has freedom to navigate the realms open to her. We trust that she is joyfully pursuing her next objective.

We, the students of the Temple Teachings are most grateful for her gift of over 150 channelings and for being our teacher and friend, giving life readings, publishing books and newsletters, and enduring the physical hardships of trance channeling. She demonstrated with her life a passion and dedication for her work and had a tremendous grasp of the Teachings., which she had to study as well, since she was not conscious during the channeling. She showed us what it means to be in touch with one’s guides and others who are available to help us be the best we can be and to enhance humanity with understanding, love and joy.

We miss her physical self, but rejoice in her increased capacity.

Archangels and Laws, Magic Words

Your Super Powers – Ratziel

As you read in Your Super Powers – Khamael, the Archangels are actually powers within you, activated by invocation and intention, which assist you in creating your world, enhancing it and moving on to the next creation.

These super powers allow you to create in multiple realms in this universe.  Again, the formula is:

The Archangel invokes the power of the law, working with the principle, to produce the attribute.

Ratziel, pronounced RAT-ZEE-EL, invokes the power of the Law of Ideation, working with the principle of Migration, producing Wisdom.

Traditional Invocation: Ratziel, Ratziel, Ratziel. Divine Ideation provides what we are to learn.

Discussion: The teachers said: “…as volition propels divine thought into objective manifestation, the law is established that this universe shall exist. So in the way of a pattern, the Law of Ideation says to you that before anything else can happen for you or with you or by you, you must be in compliance with the law of idea. Divine thought establishes the divine plan. Your thought establishes your plan.” (Saturday #12). So Ideation is the formulation of a plan or pattern, or creation of a seed, if you will. And, of course, if you plant a seed in an appropriate environment and give it water and nourishment, it will reproduce according to the DNA of the seed. So if you want something to manifest, document its characteristics and the environment where it can flourish, move to / create that environment, make your plan and put it in effect. Depending on your attunement, the amount you do and the amount nature does will vary.

My favorite invocation for Ratziel is: With Ratziel I joyfully declare, “Source guides my choice.” Ratziel, Ratziel, Ratziel.

Discussion: As with the invocation for Khamael, this format states the intention of the invocation prior to the invocation and affirms an attitude of joy. Joy is a necessary component of the enthusiasm that is part of the fuel of creation.

Do birds have to think about flying south for the winter? No, they’re guided by Source. That’s the principle of Migration. If we know our plan and our priorities and watch for cues in the world around us and listen for ideas that pop up moment by moment, we can be guided toward our goal and minimize effort.

Time to do some planning?
