More on Decrees

Previously I presented and defined Decree vs Declare. The  following is an excerpt from The Gnosis and The Law by Tellis S. Papastavro, which contrasts a decree to prayer, and shows how a decree works, how the powers of creation are harnessed though a specialized application of speech, thought, emotion and action.

***
A “Decree” is an invocative request of an individual to God or His messengers, though the voice of the outer self, for the granting of a particular need, be it ephemeral or one’s own eternal freedom. It transcends common prayer in which the appeal takes the form of an entreat. In the “Decree” it is accepted as an accomplished fact. To many of us, these words had no more meaning or significance than similar admonitions presented in the scriptures and repeated time and again.
A “Decree” is more than a vocal expression, and its efficacy is determined not only by the amount of feeling and conviction that is released through it, but also, by the clarity of the thought form held in the mental body, showing the useful purpose of the request. This triad forms the pattern around which the physical energies of the worded decree coalesce, and are best depicted when the individual, through practice, becomes still and allows the energy, radiation and power of the “I AM” presence, through the Holy Christ Self to flow into and nourish the lower bodies of the outer consciousness. To accomplish this, however, it is most essential that these lower bodies be trained to be man’s servants and not his masters. The stilling of the mental body, the quiet surging of the emotions, and the refusal to allow the etheric body to conjure up failures and disillusions of the past, are of the most importance. Then the phrase “Be still and know that I AM God” becomes real in the use of “Decrees”.
The conscious application of the “I AM” Presence, through the “Decrees” makes every call a sure instrument for an answer.
***

This is very similar to the Temple Teachings. The Teachers tell us invocation of the archangels should be done in threes, Khamael, Gabriel, and a third archangel chosen according to the desired functionality. 1) Khamael is a statement of “I AM” acknowledging divine beingness, pure unapplied potential, 2) a “Holy Christ Self”, or God’s will manifest, is Gabriel (I Will), the choice to use the creative force, and 3) a clear thought form held in the mental body showing the useful purpose of the request is specified with the third archangel of the invocation.

The choice and focus on the useful purpose enough to clarify it adds another dimension to the creation and extends it in time, giving it more of a basis to build upon, and opening possibilities of differentiation and avenues of evolution of the creation. The ability to control, direct and maintain one’s focus and emotions, keep one’s body healthy, and remain positive and confident, keeps one in a divine mind-set, able and beneficent.

Perhaps my best recommendation for decrees is remember that Divine Will is the enhancement of all that is, so any of one’s creations, by decree or otherwise should intend to enhance mankind, in current and future experience.

One With God

One hears and reads about being “One With God” in reference to Liberation or Moksha, having reached the ultimate. However that’s using a dual phrase to connote a singularity.  Monism (“Mono” means single) is an alternate perspective to dualism.  Monism is, in essence, what the Sanskrit word “Advaita” , meaning “Not Two” connotes as well, though again, this word use duality to connote singularity. Both monism and dualism are traditional perspectives of All That Is. Each can be useful in its own dimension.

Let’s look at what it means to be “One With God”.  What does God feel like? Well… God can do everything, being Creator, and all…, so I’d think that would feel beyond fantastic — ecstatic, blissful if you will!  So if you were One with God, you’d be able to create and feel that way too.

Hmmm… can you create? Of course you can — not just “things” or inventions or art, you can create your life and your response to it, moment by moment.  Being “made in God’s image” means having God DNA, being able to do what God does, i.e. create and enhance the Universe.  So… everyone is “One with God”?  YES! But if you’re not feeling it, perhaps you haven’t been practicing it.

That’s what TempleTeachings.com and this blog are for.  I like to call it a “School for Angels”. You have to learn the rules and the tricks of Creation, like using “Khamael” to express “I AM and I Can”, and so on.

But back to the title “One With God”.  It’s time for that phrase to evolve by adding another dimension. Use “One Within God” from now on. A Creator within a Creator.

Be an Angel :-),

Create and Enhance Life!

Sound

As with lots of words and concepts, The Temple Teachers take a much wider definition of “sound” than our modern culture does.

Sound is all vibration a continuum of frequencies and, more than that, its basis is a repeating cycle: a beginning, an increase, a maximum, a decrease, and completion.

Then, in conjunction with sound, we have resonance and harmony, two or more things operating in concert, resulting in joint creation.

The Teachers have esoteric meanings for each sound and combinations of sounds.   This is the introduction to a series of studies on the sounds and how we can use them to create resonances to benefit ourselves, mankind, our Earth, and All That Is.

Archangels and Laws, Magic Words

Your Super Powers – Haniel

Remember, 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.
Haniel, pronounced HA-NEE-EL, invokes the power of the Law of Relinquishment, working with the principle of Purpose, producing Mastery.
Traditional Invocation: Haniel, Haniel, Haniel. Divine Relinquishment releases to me all my abundance and Mastery is mine.
Discussion:

Teacher Judith said, “Haniel’s name means abundance. When you are masters you live the abundant life. Is that not what you want? What other purpose?  … Mastery – that is what you are working toward, mastery  of yourself, of your lives, dominion over this gorgeous planet that you have been given to live on.

My favorite invocation for Haniel is: With Haniel I joyfully declare, “Affectionate detachment releases to me the abundance of my self-mastery.”

Discussion: This invocation 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. Here I’m declaring that I am already self-mastered and that affectionate detachment assists me in experiencing the fullness of abundance. I use “affectionate detachment” vs. non-attachment to emphasize the fact that you can release something yet still maintain a positive feeling toward it because, in fact, anything you are relinquishing has played a part in your spiritual development.

Suppose you went to Disneyland some time ago. It was fun at the time and now your good with it being a memory. You’re affectionately detached. When it’s time to move on, you can move on affectionately detached.

Another important role of relinquishment is the fact, that unless you let go of your limiting pre-conceptions, you will not be free to experience the unlimited.  Hence the Teachers advise us to examine our beliefs and their sources and to release the ones that limit us.

Other spiritual studies also emphasize the importance of relinquishment at the end of the creative process. Religious Science describes the  “Spiritual Mind Treatment” process as consisting of Recognition, Unification, Realization, Thanksgiving and Release. And Joseph of the Michael Reccia books emphasizes that we need to release the old to experience the new, and that not only is this fundamental to the creative process, the fact that humans tend to like to repeat things ties us down and keeps us from moving on to higher things.

Start experiencing your unlimited capacity.

Your Super Powers – Michael

Remember, 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.

Michael, pronounced MICK-KAY-ELL, invokes the power of the Law of Dominance, working with the principle of Appropriation, producing Feeling and Desire.

Traditional Invocation: Michael, Michael, Michael. Through Divine Dominance, I appropriate and gratefully accept the joy, the wisdom, and the support of the Universe as my life flows to the “full-fillment” of my destiny.

Discussion:

We appropriate. We take from the world around us what we need and what we want. What is the Law of Dominance? Like the Law of Gravity, it’s an observed phenomenon which, for the most part, is “ubiquitous”. People dominate people. People dominate animals. People create ways to get what they want. By focusing on and getting to know what you want in detail, you develop an intimacy with it. You start to feel its nuances and start to merge with it emotionally and consciously. Your desire comes with feelings which you get to know and can reproduce. This facilitates the appropriation because you have learned to generate the conditions necessary for the manifestation of that which you wish to appropriate.

The Teachers emphasize that the best use of dominance is self-dominance, self control, self-enhancement for the benefit of others.

My favorite invocation for Michael is: With Michael I joyfully declare, “I appropriate what I want from the Universe.”

Discussion: This invocation 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. Here I’m declaring my built-in creative ability to plan and do what’s necessary to produce beneficial things and situations from the resources available on earth. What do I want from the Universe? From the perspective an angel, I want to enhance All That Is.

So, cultivate the soil, plant the seeds you want to grow, fertilize, provide sunlight, water and weed and what do you get? What a coincidence. We reap what we sow.

Your Super Powers – Tzaphiel

Remember, 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.
Tzaphkiel, pronounced TZ-OFF-KEE-EL, invokes the power of the Law of Illusion, working with the principle of Balance, producing Understanding.
Traditional Invocation: Tzaphkiel, Tzaphkiel, Tzaphkiel. Divine illusion settles the properties of this matter and brings balance and understanding.
Discussion:
The teachers said: “You have a power center with the Archangel Tzaphkiel, Divine Illusion. When you are in doubt, invoke Tzaphkiel for enlightenment. ‘Tzaphkiel’ means ‘to dream’ including both sleeping dreams and aspirations. This is to give you the hint that true balance comes in form, but not necessarily form found in your earth-physical manifestation. You witness in the earth-physical more imbalance than balance because there is such lack of understanding. The illusion is that form is the reality, when that is not true. The reality is what lies behind the form. The reality is The Divine Fire. Thus it is that you must give form to your thoughts, to your feelings, to your, what you call, spirit in order to establish the balance.”

“The Principle of Balance stands behind man’s attempt to reach God. And it’s all operative under the Law of Illusion, for if one did not expect to find reality in the form, one would not be in ignorance. But inasmuch as this is the way your universe has been constructed, that is the way you must travel to achieve understanding, through balance. ”

“When you have balanced the forms of one level of experience, you can then move on to achieve balance in the forms of higher levels of experience. With these lessons we are approaching an understanding of everyday life and the meaning of that life, what may lie ahead of that life, what may be accomplished with that life, how that life can be better in quality.”

“When you call on Tzaphkiel, the answer very often will come in a form of something that will demonstrate to you perhaps the futility of your expectation or will be representative of another aspect of the situation. When you are puzzled by a certain set of circumstances, you may call upon Tzaphkiel to interpret the form of the thing for you. The answer may come in dreams, in intuition, and even everyday symbology. This is that level of experience that gives you physical signs.  For instance, a book falls into your hands, or you unexpectedly meet someone. A picture appears unexpectedly or in an unanticipated place or manner. A word may be said you, in some way, little signals are given.”

“If, for instance, you wish to have something revealed to you which previously has been hidden from you, you would go with the Law of Illusion.”

My favorite invocation for Tzaphkiel is: With Tzaphkiel I joyfully declare, “Understanding illusion maintains my serenity and enables my creativity.

Discussion: This invocation 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. Here I’m declaring that I understand the messages that experience gives, have balance (serenity) and am able to use the images and ideas that come to me and the signs that appear in daily life to answer questions that arise, and to bring forth new creations. The word imagination comes up in the discussion of illusion. I prefer the word “imager” to describe the faculty we have to give form to something that may not already be demonstrated in the physical. If you want to understand something, form the question, invoke Tzaphkiel and watch for the answer to appear as life unfolds in front of you.

HREE – Exceeding all limits

Suppose you positioned your mouth as if you were going to whistle, and blew at the roof of your mouth, versus your focusing on your lips. If you make your tongue concave or U-shaped, you get a round tone sounding like “who”. If, however you make your tongue flat, you get a sound more like the double “o” in “hook”. And as you move your cheeks into a smile, you get an “ee” sound. There is an ancient sacred sound “hree” used as a focusing exercise in traditional Hindu meditative practice. Perhaps you’ve heard of pink noise and white noise. White noise is a “hiss”, if you will, more like “ee”.

Got a few minutes? Try this as focusing exercise:

In a quiet room, sit comfortably and imagine a pure tone, perhaps like a flute, in your audible range. Then, using your imagination, make that tone slide up higher and higher and higher until it leaves the audible range through pink and white noise and goes on… and on… and on…

All of a sudden there’s a huge flash so bright that nothing is distinguishable anywhere… and you just listen to your breath. Enjoy the calm and take it with you out into the world.

Create A Universe in 7 Easy Steps

Suppose a creator wanted to create a universe one day (she didn’t want to spend a whole week).

First of all, she knew she existed and had potential. She said “KHAMAEL: I am, so I can.”
Second, she decided to go through the necessary steps. She said, “GABRIEL: I can, so I will”.
Then she created the laws for the universe with 7 invocations.

1) “KHAMEL, GABRIEL, RATZIEL: I can and I will intuitive guidance.”
2) “KHAMEL, GABRIEL, RAPHAEL: I can and I will process toward uniqueness”
3) “KHAMEL, GABRIEL, TZADKIEL: I can and I will reproduction in kind”.
4) “KHAMEL, GABRIEL, SANDALPHON: I can and I will optimum progress through resonance and harmony.”
5) “KHAMEL, GABRIEL, TZAPHKIEL: I can and I will understanding, continued serenity and creative enhancement.”
6) “KHAMEL, GABRIEL, MICHAEL: I can and I will appropriation.”
7) “KHAMEL, GABRIEL, HANIEL: I can and I will self mastery through relinquishment.”

Would you like to create something? For any project, even creating your personal universe, you can use the laws and take them a step further.

1) Decide how you’re going to use intuitive guidance to direct you through the completion of your project. Ask your inner self for answers to questions, and be watchful of the ideas that pop into your head.
2) Decide how you’re going to make your project unique, maybe with one of those ideas that popped into your head.
3) Decide how you’re going to make your project reflect you and your goals.
4) Use your intuitive guidance to take the appropriate steps at the right time. Share your goals with people who will resonate with them. Resonating with your goals and others will open appropriate doors. Watch for them, recognize them and take action.
5) Because change is needed for enhancement, you prepare for the required changes. Set the scene, assist the change and voilà!
6) Decide what needs to be acquired to fulfill the requirements of your project and do what is necessary to acquire them, being watchful that someone may give them to you or point you to them.
7) When your project has reached the self-sufficiency you designed and created, let it go and move on to the next project.

You can think about all this all you want, but when you start writing down the details of the plan you’ll get the ball rolling.  Happy creating!

Your Super Powers – Sandalphon

Remember, 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.

Sandalphon, pronounced SAHN-DOLL-PHONE, invokes the power of the Law of Harmony, working with the principle of Revelation, producing Knowledge.

Traditional Invocation: Sandalphon, Sandalphon, Sandalphon. Divine Harmony reveals what I am to know.
Discussion:
Teacher Silverthistle said: “The Law of Harmony says all things work together. In the basic laws or your universe there is no evil, there is no negative, there is no imperfection, there is only truth. All things belong, and everything is akin to everything else, and everyone is a brother to another. The very stars in the sky are signs and a symbol. You cannot be completely detached from divinity. You are part and parcel of the original divine germ cell. You are a part of the divine plan.”

In other words, if one lives with the perspective described by Silverthistle and watchfulness, one  finds freeways vs. dead ends.

My favorite invocation for Sandalphon is: With Sandalphon I joyfully declare, “Choosing Harmony reveals the ways and means of my fulfilling life.
Discussion: This invocation 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.

Every moment provides an opportunity to either get in the flow with what’s happening, or clash with it. For instance, if it’s rainy or icy, many people might call it bad weather. This immediately sets up an unnecessary disharmony in one’s consciousness with respect to weather and these conditions. What if, instead, you consider the weather and the forces that control it (Nature) your friend? Perhaps our best response to the weather, and any situation of the moment, is to appreciate what is happening, observe the opportunities that present themselves and take advantage of them. If you’re fighting or fault finding, you’re unlikely to notice them.

Your Super Powers – Tzadkiel

Remember, 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.

Tzadkiel, pronounced TZ-ADD-KEE-EL, invokes the power of the Law of Reproduction, working with the principle of Cohesion, producing Mercy, Love and Compassion. Tzadkiel means “To know by intuition”.

Traditional Invocation: Tzadkiel, Tzadkiel, Tzadkiel. Mercy, Love & Compassion are infinitely reproduced.

Discussion: Teacher Sheariam said “Reproduction” here means more than procreation. It means that everything repeats itself and everything that is produced has the nature of and is linked to its producer. Through the intuitive faculties, you are forever intrinsically linked with that which created you. Every thing that you create is linked with you in the same way. But you have no more control over that which you create than your own creator has over you. This is why each idea initiated must be pure, for it will reproduce itself limitlessly. But it will never lose contact with that which originally created it.

An idea is simply a new arrangement of the components. This is the miracle-working agent. So long as you believe in things the way they now exist, so long as you accept things as they now exist, so long as your courage fails in creating the new, so long as you fail to practice patience, you will remain without miracles.

By the Law of Reproduction, impatience breeds impatience. You get in your own way. Fear breeds more fear. This is what is meant by becoming attuned, by getting in the flow, by thinking right thoughts, for your thoughts reproduce and hang together and cling to you. The positive Attribute is Mercy and Love. When your thoughts, your deeds and actions are clothed in Mercy and Love, you will be healthy, happy, and prosperous, for you could be no other way.

My favorite invocation for Tzadkiel is: With Tzadkiel I joyfully declare, “Every thought is loving and creates what I want.

Discussion: This invocation 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.

If my every thought is loving, my world will be full of love and everyone benefits. Reproduce that!

Love is simply joyful acceptance and joyful giving, you need both. It’s all additive, nothing is lost. What you put out stays and grows. Any new places you can start appreciating and giving? It all helps.
