"The  Cosmos  Sent  Me"

Alan Hammond  May 5, 2002

Computers are rather like appendages to the human brain. They have allowed an intensified, accelerated development in certain areas of human activity. But there are many areas of human life that are lagging far behind. So there are great imbalances appearing in human consciousness and activity. It is pretty obvious that one of the lagging areas is that of spiritual awareness. With this tremendous imbalance manifesting now, if the human race is to be preserved it becomes imperative that the area of spiritual awareness be accelerated.

Development of spiritual awareness in human consciousness has been brought about by radiation from the undimensional levels of Being, and that has manifested in the body of mankind in the form of spiritual ministries, teachers, and leaders. This endeavor throughout history has been unsuccessful, inasmuch as the human consciousness has not been restored to the awareness of true Identity. I am sure, in this immediate phase now, the traditional forms of spiritual education — such as teaching, counseling, ritual, and the many forms we know in religion — will continue to be useful. But something of a more exponential nature is needed if pace is to be kept with the accelerating development in other areas of human activity. There really is not enough time for the creeping progress of previous centuries. The higher level of participation in the inexorable emergence of the Archangelic Identity will be experienced by those who are aware of it and who move with Its presence and all-pervading effect.

What we are concerned with is the establishment of the presence of true Being, an expression of true character, the Creator. We know that in order for the disappearance of self-centeredness, it is not a matter of fighting our self-centered traits (of which we should be only too aware); it is, rather, a matter of letting identity move into that of the Creator. In the expression of that quality of character, self-centeredness dissolves. That is the way to do it. Fighting against self-centeredness is a delaying tactic of the ego to preserve itself. However, it is worth examining one’s own experience to acknowledge signs of self-centeredness when they come up. There can be pleasure in acknowledging and relinquishing self-centeredness in favor of a noble spirit. We eliminate self-centeredness by expressing a noble quality of character in every moment — period. So we seek to do the creative thing in this and every situation, not for one’s own benefit or preference, but to do what is the right thing for the whole. What is the creative act for the whole? And the whole is the cosmos. But, naturally, we must bring it down to the local scene, and therefore ask: What is the right and creative thing to do in my perception of the whole scene here? As we do this, the emergence of true Identity is intensified in our local setting. However, we do take into account that many of the people around us are self-centered, and it is not a matter of serving self-centered people and their wants, as if that is serving the whole. We take that into account, but within ourselves we live in the spirit of “What is the creative thing here?”

As the human ego dissolves, we find ourselves identified in the character of Being. Being, God, the Creator, is One. Each of us is an aspect of the Creator, “I Am.” We have utilized such terms as the angelic Identity. That angelic Identity is an aspect of the Archangelic Identity, which is the identity of the planet. And, although we could no doubt go through intermediary stages, basically the Archangelic Identity is an aspect of cosmic Identity — the cosmic “I Am.” This is who we undeniably are. Now, this matter of saying we are an aspect of cosmic Identity may initially sound to be merely a concept. But we can meditate in feeling about being part of the one cosmic Identity. If we do that, we can just relax, acknowledge the obvious truth of it, and feel and know that we are moving with this one, vast Being.

Here is a little parenthetical thought: No Angel, no individual focus of Being who is a part of the Archangelic Identity, can move beyond the focus of the Archangelic Body — in Western religious terms, that point of focus has been called the Lord of Lords. There is a focus. No individual differentiation of that Identity can move beyond that point of focus and reach off into the cosmos all by him/herself. But if identity is factually in the angelic state, that Angel is an aspect of the Lord of Lords and shares the perspective, the outlook, the interests and responsibilities, of that point of focus. And these lie well beyond merely what is happening on this planet. There won’t be flights of imaginative fancy too far beyond the principle I have just outlined, but at least there begins to be the awareness of a greater context of Being and potential function.

We have on numerous occasions meditated upon the process of globalization, or integration, which is accelerating in the planetary experience. We have considered some of the outer technologies that are facilitating this process: communication — such as telephone, radio, television; transportation — cars, trains, planes; and computers. And there is the movement towards integration with the greater cosmos through exploration with space probes. However, these are not the causes of the integrative process. They are merely mistranslations by human beings of a spiritual process that is under way. These technologies are, nevertheless, moving the human experience in the integrative direction. This integrative process will increasingly affect every aspect of human experience, including the spiritual experience. Because what is really behind these developments is the intensified radiation of the Archangelic Identity and, one might say, ultimately the coming of the Lord of Lords, the archangelic focus, known also as the Lord of Love, which is the integrative force. The integration is emerging and the results are absolutely inexorable. It shouldn’t be too much of a stretch to see how our meditations on our own sense of reintegration into angelic Identity, Archangelic Identity, and Cosmic Identity, are an aspect of this overall process of reintegration and the awakening to who I Am, We Are.

Another facet of this process can be seen in the power of the individual. We gave consideration to this some time ago. Even in the world of mankind, individuals are finding that they can have a very profound effect on the whole body and consciousness of mankind, often in destructive ways. However, the principle involved here is significant because the individual is an aspect of the Archangel; and as the Archangel comes, the power intensifies, and temporarily, anyway, individuals can (as they always have) misuse spiritual power. This power is not just some ethereal, theoretical power, but all forms of power are ultimately spiritual power. So the emergence of the power of the individual is, in fact, yet another indication of the manifestation of the coming of the Archangel.

The isolated, human-ego mind tries to utilize all the elements of power it can get its hands on — such as the atom, genes, knowledge — in order to create an experience of heaven. We recognize that the one I Am, pure spiritual Being, emerging out of the undimensional levels, naturally utilizes those elements, and many others, of which the isolated mind has no awareness whatsoever. But the Creator, emerging out of the undimensional, has a complete technology available to it. One might say that the divine technology relates to the divine subconscious mind, which clothes the radiation in the various levels of dimensional substance through all the forms in the cosmos.

So, in a more conscious way, we might ask, “How are we to exert some control into the body of mankind as it engages in all these destructive activities? What is the central component in the body of mankind that we should seek to influence?” It is the human consciousness, for it is out of the human consciousness that all the human technologies are spawned. Therefore, one of our main areas of concentrated activity is in the human consciousness.

From the archangelic standpoint, what is needed are points of radiation within the network of human consciousness. In our own consciousness the central focus relates to quality of spirit, quality of character, and we seek to intensify the radiation of this character. Actually, the supreme area of technology relates to radiation, and I am sure we will consider this further in the days ahead. Everything that exists and functions does so by reason of radiation out of the undimensional levels of Being. But, back to our primary concern — without these points of radiation within the consciousness of mankind, it is highly probable that the human form will be eliminated. Not that that is the end of everything, but it is unnecessary. The human form and its consciousness, as we now know, will inevitably disappear anyway. In ten billion years hence, I don’t think the planet will be in a position in the cosmos to support the life-forms exactly the way we know them now, so I am not saying anything very radical. But we are interested in being at the very core of the creative process relative to this wonderful form and its consciousness now, at this critical juncture. 

The changes required to restore the experience on Earth will be easily accomplished. I suppose, if we seek an overall perspective of the Earth, we see it as a tiny speck in the cosmos, and we see its consciousness as a tiny speck in the consciousness of cosmic Being. So what is required to change the consciousness on Earth is something very slight, very delicate, a nuance of radiation. I use the idea of a cosmic perspective, and of course the human mind is impressed with vast size and distances, whereas in undimensional Being distance and size is, in one sense, irrelevant. But Being is vast, also, and it is true that the cosmos does reflect in a few dimensions something of that vastness.

When you have a quiet moment, reflect upon the miracle of your own consciousness. The totality of Being and the totality of the cosmos has created your personal consciousness and is supporting it with the totality of Itself. Becoming aware of this, each of us might ask the question, “Why was I sent, and what am I to do? I am to reveal the beauty and the glory of who I Am.” This awareness is projected into and through this consciousness. There is nothing to fear when we awaken our own consciousness as to who We Are, why we are here, and what is back of us. There is nothing else to think about or do, other than to give what we were sent to give in this and every moment. We each can say, “God, Being, the cosmos, sent me — to reveal the oneness and the glory of Life!” Even before the restoration is accomplished, the work itself is glorious!
