Revision as of 17:09, 23 May 2012
There is an Angelic Presence that oversees the development of this world and other worlds in the Greater Community. They represent and translate the Will of the Creator to the physical world.
The Angelic Presence is also known as the Teachers, the Unseen Ones and the Source of the New Message.
"They are God's emissaries. They translate the Will of the Divine into finite existence." [1]
Directives
"The Unseen Ones are watching. You can feel them, and you can hear them. Though they will not come too close so as not to dominate you or to cast too great an influence upon you, they will abide with you. Remember them. They have not forgotten you." [2]
Who the Unseen Ones Are
"We are the bridge between the reality of time and space and the reality beyond time and space—two realities that are so very different." [3]
"We are the Ones who have brought all of the Revelations into the world. For God does not speak." [4]
"It is We who spoke to Jesus and the Buddha, the Muhammad and other teachers and seers through the ages who have brought a greater clarity into the world—to the prophets in every age and to the Messengers who only come at great turning points for humanity. You cannot worship Us. You will not know Our names." [4]
"We watch over the world. We have been watching for a very long time. We are those that God has sent to oversee humanity’s development and evolution and to receive the Revelations that are then given to the Messengers, to receive the insights that are given to the prophets, to sound the warnings, to provide the blessings and now to provide the preparation for a world unlike the past you have experienced and for a future where humanity will have to contend with the Greater Community itself." [4]
"When people say, "Well, my scripture says that God appeared before this man, and God appeared at the edge of the desert, and God parted the sea," they are talking about the Unseen Ones.... It is God's messengers, who are part of God." [5]
"The Unseen Ones are with you. They are watching you. And they are assisting you by strengthening Knowledge and your awareness and desire for Knowledge." [6]
Excerpts
"The Presence of these Unseen Forces gathers where Knowledge is being experienced and expressed." [7]
“The Angelic Presence … translates the Will of the Creator into words, ideas and application.” [8]
"There are different levels of Unseen Ones. The Unseen Ones who assist you are assisted themselves, for the chain of authority, the chain of giving, continues far, far beyond you--translating and making a greater will and purpose accessible and available to you." [1]
"There are many Unseen Ones in the Universe. There is not one who is paramount amongst them. For when you graduate from this life you are a beginner in the next stage of life. You do not simply return to Heaven to spend eternity in repose. You enter another stage of service and activity, learning and preparation." [1]
"The Teachers are part of the Angelic Presence who are assigned to you and certain others." [9] “The Angelic Presence translates God’s Will into language, form, images, stories, ideas, explanations—everything, so that you can comprehend this and be able to relate to it within your own circumstances in life.” [10]
"When your history or your legends speak of God communicating to the world, what is really being described here is the Angelic Presence communicating to certain individuals. A sacred book, for example, if it is claimed that it comes from God, or is the word of God, is actually the words of the Angelic Presence, for God does not use words to communicate." [10]
"Over the course of time, God has sent Messengers into the world, Messengers who have been sent here by the Angelic Presence that oversees this world’s evolution and well-being." [10]
"But the Angelic Presence cannot interfere uninvited unless they are requested with great earnestness to be of assistance." [10]
"The Angelic Presence that is here will respond to the yearning of the heart and the soul. They will respond to what is truly being communicated and expressed through your requests, through your prayers." [10]
"All of the great Revelations to humanity have been given by the Angelic Presence. They speak as We not as I. They are a group and not just a magnificent individual." [10]
"Our words speak primarily to Knowledge within you. They call to Knowledge within you as your Knowledge calls to us, to this message, to this Teaching and to this greater truth." [11]
"Your Spiritual Family beyond the world is supporting your spiritual development by communicating to you through the Mental Environment. The Unseen Ones are supporting your spiritual development by overseeing your participation in the world and by participating with you at the critical turning points of your life. And the Creator is supporting your spiritual development because the Creator has given you Knowledge—a pure, guiding intelligence within you. Beyond the reach of the world and worldly contamination, it remains ever pure and ever complete within you." [12]
"There are Angels of the Creator who help humanity with more immediate things, with practical matters, with urgent needs for the well-being of communities and for the advancement of people's efforts that are truly beneficial." [13]
"Humanity’s success and failure is largely in its hands. The Angelic Presence is here to encourage and to stimulate those individuals who are open to its presence, who are willing to follow its recommendations and to live a more ethical and purposeful life based on service to humanity and to this world. All others who seek the Angelic Presence to enrich themselves, to gain advantage over others or to destroy their enemies will find no response and no assistance." [10]
“In the history of this world and all worlds, the process of Revelation is the same. An individual is selected and sent into the world, and when they reach a certain stage in their development and maturity, they are called out of normal circumstances, called to a great rendezvous, a great encounter with the Angelic Presence that oversees that particular world.” [14]
“God’s Will is expressed and communicated to the Angelic Presence, who oversee all worlds where intelligent life has evolved. The Will of the Creator is then expressed in the words and language of that world, for that people…God speaks the truth through the Angelic Presence.” [15]
"God has assigned to each world where sentient beings live or have colonized a force of redemption for these nations and groups of individuals. In worlds such as yours, which are largely inhabited, where there is a great diversity and complexity of life, this Angelic Presence has many different levels of expression and different levels of service. Yet its overall purpose is to oversee the progress and the well-being of humanity." [10]
"God has spoken again. We are the ones to bring the Message. God’s Will is presented through Us. We are beyond your estimation, beyond your religious theories and your personal speculation. For human imagination can only fabricate from what it experiences in the physical world. But reality exists beyond this—beyond the realm and the reach of the intellect. This is the truth throughout the universe, the Greater Community of life in which you live." [16]
