Kuthumi: The Red Letters
The
Context of the Red letters
This month on this web site, we begin publishing Kuthumi’s Red Letters.
In
the months ahead, these Letters will be central to a major project, the
concern of which is preparing for 2012.
Wherever one looks now, one confronts 2012.
Those
with the stamina to get through the Introduction to read the Letters
themselves - which we will be showing at the Equinox - will find the point
of the project in Letter XI;
Ask
and it shall be given unto you: given but not be done for you, my brother.
In the Age of Aquarius man saves himself with his own knowledge. Spread
this message every way that you know: the Age of Saviours is past.
Throughout the Letters, KH emphasises that we have choice.
But
what is choice? Choice is not simply options. The point about choosing is
that it requires the use of mental energy to weigh up the relative merits
of the option. Choice is the ability to make an intelligent decision and
see it through.
Those
beings on the etheric level, the threshold of our world, and who would
help us through this most crucial stage in mankind’s development, are
waiting to see this intelligent, purposeful response because it will be
the long awaited sign that man has understood that he has to help himself
through 2012. Then, in their different ways, they can help us to help
ourselves.
Until
they see this sign, they are largely powerless because
they are bound by the rules, as we are ourselves. These rules come
from the imperative of the system itself, the system of which we are all a
part. They will not interfere with our free will because they may not.
On
our planet Earth we live (and die) amid the consequences of our own
actions so that we may learn because that is the principle that our planet
expresses: strength through struggle. It is a forcing house for
consciousness.
In
the context of our system, the point of humanity is that we walk on the
Earth, that we develop our higher principles to give ourselves a
connection to a higher level and that we bring that higher to the lower
through our thoughts, choices and creative capacity in order to do the
work that we are required to do, as agents of a higher level, on behalf of
nature’s four kingdoms.
The
energy of the human hierarchy, as KH reminds us in the Letters, is that of
will to manifest.
There
is no point to a humanity that can be manipulated from a higher level, and
that can be picked up and put back down on Earth like animals in a toy
farmyard. Those on that higher level know what we seem to have forgotten,
and that is the very point of ourselves and what we are doing in
incarnation. A humanity that does not know how to use choice has developed
a fatal flaw. That flaw is not his lower principles: they are part of the
design of man; the flaw is the sense of helplessness.
In
the material that we will be publishing, KH speaks openly of the pain
which the Hierarchy are experiencing as they watch time ticking away, and
those that show any interest or awareness in what is happening are waiting
for saviours, space craft, or mass Ascension: anything that represents an
abdication of responsibility for self and gets us off this planet so we
can leave behind the mess we have created for ourselves.
We
never envisioned a time when mankind itself would lose interest in the
experiment of life on Earth KH
says as part of his reply to Chris. Chris is one of the Foundation’s
directors who, after reading the Introduction to the Red Letters, sent
back a question to KH.
The
question and the reply are contained within the Appendix to the Red
Letters. In the months to come we will be encouraging questions from
readers, some of which will be selected to go forward to KH.
As
we are a Third Ray organisation, the DK Foundation’s teaching activity
from here on will focus upon this unpopular theme of choice and make
dealing with it our contribution. It is unpopular because to make
intelligent choices we have to be prepared to give things up, and we do
not like to do this.
We
prefer to keep taking on new things without prejudicing our ability to
return to the old. This is why our homes are cluttered and why our lives
go nowhere. We want to save the world but we don’t want to have to give
up our security or personal comforts; we want to change our lifestyles but
we don’t want to give up the comfort of the familiar; we want to be fit
but we don’t want to give up our poor dietary habits. We want to be
productive and disciplined but we don’t want to give up our lie-ins and
hours of TV viewing.
This
is the level of causality everybody wants to avoid. We don’t want to
think that our little venialities could be of enormous significance
someway further down the road. So we stay focused on the big stuff, we
ridicule the President of the USA and get hot under the collar about
corporate folly, governments and terrorists whilst conveniently ignoring
our own foibles. These are old, old tactics in self-deception and the only
people we cheat are ourselves.
There
is probably is no more unpopular message
than this but I doubt any of our regular readers has ever made the mistake
of thinking the DK Foundation works on a feel good factor or encourages
excitability.
I
had started the process of thinking through what I was going to write in
the introductory article to the Red Letters when Becky, the secretary of
Friends of the Foundation, sent me Patricia Cota-Robles article, The
Time Is Now. It is an important and particularly well written
piece which we have put in the Friends’ archive with a previous article
by Patricia.
The
work that the Fourth Ray Healers are doing is tremendous. Hope itself
heals and there is much hope contained within Patricia’s message, but
feminine has always needed masculine for support and balance. Invocation
is feminine: this message needs balancing by evocation which is masculine.
What has to be called up out of mankind is an intelligent response.
The
point of the human race is that it spans two levels of being: physical and
the spiritual. If it is to survive it has to survive physically, otherwise
there will no vehicles on Earth to be recipients of the higher energy.
To
be focused on personal salvation is not enough. For as long as human
beings have a need to incarnate on this planet we have to think as a race.
Neither
Spiritual thinking nor common sense have even called in on this place in
the past two thousand years, so great has been the zeal for personal
advancement and personal salvation. But in his reply to Chris, KH says
this: Mankind rises and falls
together - for as long as there is a need to reincarnate. The weight of
the mass must hold back the most advanced.
It is like overtaking on the motorway only to find there is grid lock
further on.
Love
for our fellow man is not about getting into a lather of sentimentality,
it is about recognising and respecting the contribution he has to make to
our common situation.
Should
there be no human race on Earth after 2012, then we run out of
opportunities to reincarnate into this system What happens then?
KH
touches very lightly on this point in Letter X11. We would wait a very
long time then to go into another system, further still from source, where
everything will move more slowly and where there is far less freedom. For
the more evolved it would be a seriously regressive step, like going back
to nursery school; for human consciousness it would be a major step
backwards.
The
Hierarchy estimate that the consciousness of around 97% of those in
physical vehicles on Earth needs further reincarnating experience.
This is not at all the same thing as saying that Patricia’s claims are
nonsense; it is rather to provide a perspective.
Refinement is very valuable and it may be of enormous value in
getting individuals over a threshold but refinement is not completion, and
the story does not end there. We not only have to think about what comes
before 2012, but of what comes after it.
The prospect of 2012 shifts the spiritual goal posts in a very
significant way.
We
have eight short years to make intelligent choices that will enable us to
use our time well and organise ourselves around activities that have the
learning of personal survival skills at one end of the spectrum and
internationally co-ordinated activity at the other
Those
who make the decision to go to Tucson and Bali will doubtless have a
profound personal experience and make their contribution to raising the
vibration on Earth. And so we thank them for their feminine contribution.
But, let’s face it, although it may take a lot of planning and financial
sacrifice, it is not exactly hardship to travel by plane to Tucson or Bali
to a big spiritual gathering.
There
are harder tasks than this which have to be addressed, and in harder times
than this, such as trying to interest mankind in its own future, and this
involves physical survival.
The
West was able to be so materially helpful in the wake of the Indian Ocean
tsunami because we are wealthy and because of our lifestyles were not
interrupted and because it was a novelty. Our good will and spirituality
is underpinned by computers, mobile phones, material affluence, physical
comfort and Botox. Where will all the good will go when we Westeners are
ourselves stripped of all these things, when novelty has gone out of
tsunamis and the structures that support the illusion of western wealth have
collapsed? And we surely will experience this.
The
Red Letters are a call to muster. Our challenge is to start making
intelligent choice a way of life and break this habit of expecting 2+2 =
5. This route leads to inertia or the expectation that the celestial hosts
are going to step in and beam us up out of the mess.
The
help that they are able to give will be to certain species of animals and
to the least evolved of
humanity who do not yet have choice in any meaningful way and who are
going into the other system where they can evolve more slowly.
If you consider that you belong
to the human race and have reason to think that you may not be quite
perfected, not quite Enlightened, then, please think on and challenge
yourself is the following practical way:
One
morning in the next week, at the beginning of the day, decide how you
would like to handle your day, from the point of view of your longer term
goals. The bathroom is a good place to do this.
Call
to mind all the commitments that you have, and decide what purposes the
day has to serve? For example, do you need to be more focused, calmer,
more productive, more honest, less talkative?
Discipline
yourself for the course of the day to stay true to this intention. This
will mean making intelligent choices about how to use time and energy.
Remind yourself it is your life and that this lifetime is your
opportunity.
The
next day do the same exercise conscious now of the areas that were weak
the previous day, and do the same on the third day.
By
the fourth day you will either see the point of this exercise
or you will give it up.
I
hope you see the point of it.
Intelligent choice is a way of life, not a fitful activity.
