There are lots of different techniques that people teach but many lack that crucial connection with spirituality.

The Aetherius Society Symbol – A Meditation

Richard Lawrence — Wed, 19 Jun 2024 07:01:13 +0000

Yoga masters throughout the ages have accessed profound wisdom by attaining the highest states of meditation known as Samadhi.

In late 1955, Master of Yoga Dr George King entered a deep state of meditation lasting for at least 65 hours in St. Mawes, Cornwall.

During this meditation he devised what was to become the symbol used by The Aetherius Society which had just been founded. This combined the ancient Sanskrit symbol for God with a triangle representing wisdom.

Dr King entered Samadhi hundreds of times to receive wisdom channeled from spiritual masters from other worlds.

On March 8th, 1961, Dr King channeled the profound wisdom of the Seventh Freedom – Interplanetary Existence. A stage of freedom that we will all experience in our future.

This particular channeling included a historic mystical revelation transforming ancient wisdom forever. This was depicted in the form of a triangle by Dr King in his book The Nine Freedoms.

Richard draws on these two occurrences to illustrate the visionary nature of Dr King’s profound meditation. He shares his insights into the advanced revelation made in the Seventh Freedom, throwing light on the symbology used by Mars Sector 6.

A fascinating podcast not to be missed!

Advanced Revelations by The Master Aetherius – never released before!

Richard Lawrence — Wed, 22 May 2024 07:01:53 +0000

Did you know that as we become more conscious of our Divine natures we will experience seven states of being on our epic journey back to the God-head?

No?

Neither did I until very recently.

In the 1950s, Master of Yoga Dr George King wrote about this in a fascinating short article entitled ‘The Seven States of Being’, which was not published in his lifetime or since.

This advanced teaching was conveyed to Dr King, through mental impression, by The Master Aetherius, which Dr King then expressed in his own words.

It has remained in The Aetherius Society archives and, to the best of our knowledge, has never been revealed or commented upon by anyone—until now!

In this show Richard Lawrence will attempt to explain the very far-reaching concepts contained in this teaching with invaluable input from his co-presenter, Chrissie Blaze.

It may not be suitable for a complete beginner to these topics, but will be absolutely fascinating to those with metaphysical knowledge who are looking for the true meaning of the most profound aspects of existence.

#134 – Experiencing Timelessness (Inspiration for Spiritual Seekers)

Richard Lawrence — Sat, 04 May 2024 07:01:59 +0000

When we dumb down profound wisdom, we dumb down our perception of our Divine potential.

Whereas when we study and realize profound truth, we realize our Divine potential more deeply.

This week’s episode is about going deeper into the true meaning of things – to what is really meant by “meditation”, “enlightenment” and even the “Now”.

#133 – A Deeper Understanding of Evolution & Spiritual Awakening (Part 2)

Richard Lawrence — Sat, 20 Apr 2024 07:01:04 +0000

This week we continue with the second instalment of our two-part show about spiritual evolution!

Back in September last year, Richard shared an incredible personal story: a cosmic realization about the purpose of life – in one word.

Interestingly, leading evolutionary scientists have started to question the commonly understood theory of evolution – and even highlight various shortcomings.

The search is on for a more profound understanding of why we are here, where we are going, and how.

In this week’s show, Richard takes further questions from our audience about the nature of spiritual evolution and what that means for us.

The Master Jesus wants us to realize our Divinity – Part 2

Richard Lawrence — Wed, 17 Apr 2024 07:01:08 +0000

Realizing the Divine power within us all would manifest heaven on Earth for all. A world free from violence, war, greed and disease can become our reality.

The Master Jesus knew this.

He anchored upon our world, some 2000 years ago, a pathway of wisdom to help us realize our Divinity.

However, much of this wisdom appears to have been stripped from mainstream religious teachings and replaced with incorrect, confusing and contradictory dogmas.

In 1958, the Master Jesus delivered, through the expert mediumship of Master of Yoga Dr George King, an extension to his teachings called The Twelve Blessings.

A number of the beautiful prayers which follow these Blessings feature the concept of us realizing our Divinity. Realizing our Divinity is a spiritual freedom we will all enjoy at some point in a future life if not in this life.

In Part 1 of Aetherius Radio Live, which you can listen to here, we explored Richard’s amazing experience of a cosmic realization of Divinity.

In this Part 2, hosts Richard Lawrence and Chrissie Blaze will discuss why The Twelve Blessings are such a crucial aspect of the teachings given to us for this Aquarian Age by the Master of Love known as The Master Jesus.

They will examine the beautiful wording of six of the prayers in this teaching, which some of our listeners use on a regular basis, beginning to uncover their inner meanings so that they can resonate ever more within us.

#131 – The Road To Ascension – Your Spiritual Destiny

Richard Lawrence — Sat, 23 Mar 2024 07:01:11 +0000

Contrary to a lot of the noise you may hear in the New Age Community, there is no shortcut to Ascension.

No one graduates from the classroom called Earth with anything less than perfect marks: complete mastery over all experience here.

That said, it is true that this extraordinary achievement is the destiny of every single one of us, and that it is up to us whether we will get there sooner – or later.

Join me and Richard for a discussion about the road to Ascension and what someone on the verge of this initiation would really be like!

The Master Jesus wants us to realize our Divinity – Part 1

Richard Lawrence — Wed, 20 Mar 2024 07:01:12 +0000

Realizing our Divinity is why we are on planet Earth — despite appearances to the contrary.

This is the true essence of the great world religions, and the true message of spiritual leaders such as the Lord Buddha, Sri Krishna, and the Master Jesus.

They knew that by us realizing our Divinity we would naturally learn to solve the many problems that continue to plague humanity — violence, war, disease, greed, selfishness, etc. By realizing our Divinity we would learn to build peace on Earth through selfless service and manifest abundance for all.

Humanity still has a long way to grow spiritually to appreciate this spiritual truth, and act in the light of it. Overlooking such liberating truths given throughout the ages, we need to be reminded again and again.

In 1958, the Master Jesus delivered through Master of Yoga Dr. George King an extension to the teachings he gave some 2000 years ago called The Twelve Blessings.

A number of the beautiful prayers which follow these Blessings feature the concept of us realizing our Divinity.

This episode of Aetherius Radio Live will examine why this is such a crucial aspect of the teachings given to us for this Aquarian Age by the Master of Love — The Master Jesus.

Chrissie Blaze will also ask Richard Lawrence about a cosmic realization of Divinity he experienced last year. Though it is his personal account and not part of The Aetherius Society’s teachings, Richard believes it illustrates what can be attained by following this unique path to God-realization.

#130 – Key To Higher Consciousness, Being Psychic and Awakening Your Chakras

Richard Lawrence — Sat, 09 Mar 2024 08:01:35 +0000

Lots of people talk about “raising consciousness”; sometimes our own consciousness, sometimes global consciousness.

But what does it actually mean?

Doesn’t it seem a bit vague?

I am not generally a big fan of vague terms – because vagueness can give the false impression that spirituality is nebulous and wooly, when actually it is extremely precise, can be described technically, and known through direct experience.

Join me for a conversation with Richard about higher consciousness and what it really means!

Many people talk about “their truth” as if there is no such thing as the truth.

But the truth will be the truth whether we believe it or not, like it or not, etc.

And a love for the truth is essential if we wish to find truth, including the highest truths about what we are – of our Real Selves – and of the very nature of God itself.

Join me for this week’s discussion with Richard about truth, paradox and the path to Enlightenment.

#124 – A Spiritual Teardown Of “Sin” (Myth-busting Orthodox Religion)

Richard Lawrence — Sat, 16 Dec 2023 08:01:53 +0000

“Sin” is one of those loaded words.

It calls to mind images of fanatical churchmen preaching fire and brimstone to their cowering congregations.

No surprise that a lot of the dogma about sin is plain wrong. Eternal hell and damnation, seven deadly sins, absolution etc.

So is there any truth in it at all?

What do the Cosmic Masters have to say about “sin”?

Join me for a thought-provoking discussion with Richard this week about the only major sin there is and some of its surprising implications.

Wishing all of you an inspiring holiday period!

A Cosmic Realization of the Purpose of Life – in One Word

Richard Lawrence — Mon, 25 Sep 2023 07:01:40 +0000

At the age of 14, I woke up one morning with a question – what is the purpose of life?

At the age of 18, that question was answered through yoga philosophy and especially the teachings of Dr. George King and The Aetherius Society: to go back to God through spiritual practice with its main focus being service.

At the age of 70, I knew why.

Seated on the terrace of our room at a hotel in Tenerife in September 2023, I entered a state of cosmic realization. It took me about an hour to do so, as my wife, Alyson, sat nearby performing spiritual practices.

For the first time kundalini reached the highest psychic center, Brahma Chakra, though not in its entirety, rising through each center in turn, inducing trance, circumnavigating the mind, transcending thought and visualization processes, into the I Am.

I had been on this journey once before in January when Ajna awakened in violet hues, but that was as far as I traveled then. I knew God as man, animal, mountain, even as a pebble, on this realm, on other realms, but all of them upon this Earth. It was a state of terrestrial enlightenment – oneness with all life on this planet – but it was not yet cosmic.

And so I proceeded, and the following is an account of what transpired which I offer for your consideration.

Deep breath followed by restraint. At first involuntarily – Kevala Kumbhaka – then deliberately. Breath – hold – meditate. Awareness of the chakras – a tensing of the sphincter muscles – effort, pressure, intensity, more effort, but not force.

The solar plexus is activated, but this time, instead of detachment, allowance followed by effort to raise, purify, transmute. I notice greater bliss caused by the transmutation process or, as the yogis might have put it, “frying the seeds.”

The heart center is activated, momentary bliss, onwards, upwards. The throat center is energized, and then I seek trance. Last time I resisted it, now I want it, but it is not easy to bring about – my negative karma acts as a resistor.

Awed by the fact that Dr. King could enter full samadhi in just a couple of minutes, I so much want to be absorbed in a trance of oneness, albeit to a far lesser degree. But I also want the mystic fire of kundalini to move even higher to the very crown. Wishful thinking unless that wish becomes a reality.

The third eye – violet – strong – pulsing – but not my ultimate destination this time. Now, her tendrils reach even above the Christ center, to pierce Sahasrara – only to one degree but still to penetrate – a profusion of colors – the Golden Sun.

Here that misused, hackneyed saying, silence is golden, actually becomes true – a release from terrestrial bondage into the vastness of the cosmos. I know why this is sometimes called the thousand-petalled lotus – because a thousand represents infinity.

A sunbeam courses through space, across the oceans, through my being, traveling up the spine and into the crown center. I jerk, gulp and become still.

I enter oneness with God – the I am within us all – and now I am one with life in the cosmos.

First I am Mars.

Then for longer I am Venus. I appreciate my inhabitants, who feed my Flame and strive to express my essence, energizing and being consumed in my Flame. They are being made ready; they are constantly preparing for this.

As Saturn, I admire my inhabitants who want to do as their Lords, the Lords of the Sun, and become a part of me.

And as the Sun I emit a sound which causes all life to evolve. The energy from Earth, Her Flame, is the same energy as that I emit but in a different phase.

The energy I emit travels through every realm, is part of every realm, from the highest to the lowest and my sound reverberates beyond this solar system, raising and energizing. I momentarily know Mercury as a planet of change and Pluto as small but still grand.

And then I am the Galaxy Itself with a body which seems to be of a jelly-like substance, holding all in place and yet tenuous enough for movement to take place within it. Numerous craft form a tapestry of transit on multiple frequencies – a complex weave of moving luminous threads with one single purpose.

And there is only one purpose in only one word – evolution.

It’s the reason we exist. Interplanetary travelers make their journeys because of it. Planets and suns know it. It’s why the galaxy is in manifestation. Evolution – evolution for all life.

That’s why God involved Itself in matter because without involution there could be no evolution. What God wants is evolution. What the galaxy, the Sun and the planets want is evolution. One word – an often misunderstood word – from which all experience derives – the purpose of life.

And then back down to Earth with a sadness borne of disappointment. Because here most people don’t live to evolve, they live to find happiness whatever their idea of happiness may be. And even if they think they have found it, it’s only transient unless it’s the happiness derived from evolution.

Even bliss is not the goal, it is only an effect of the process – a wonderful sign that you are nearing your goal – but not the goal itself. And that must be where some gurus went wrong. They identified the process with the goal and got stuck along the way, misidentifying the blissful sensation with the oneness which is beyond all sensation or even mind. As a result, as Mars Sector 6 so brilliantly put it in the Sixth Freedom – the Power was still warm in those places.

Just as food can bring pleasure though its purpose is nourishment, and as air brings vitality though its purpose is preservation, evolution brings a deep joy which is eternal but not permanent. And therein lies a paradox which can only be resolved by evolution itself.

Yes, I know the answer now to the desperate question of my 14-year-old self, though I know it to only one degree of infinity.

I also know that I owe even that degree to my master, Dr. George King, for the sacred initiations he bestowed upon me and the opportunities he entrusted me with, which led me to this place.

The path he left of world salvation can also be our key to God realization.

#107 – Ex-military whistleblowers: UFOs not from Earth

Richard Lawrence — Sat, 29 Jul 2023 07:01:46 +0000

Big UFO news out of America this week!

The short answer is: they did…!

Richard Lawrence — Sat, 10 Jun 2023 07:01:20 +0000

It’s not easy living in our materialistic world and striving for spiritual enlightenment.

But “in the world” is where we need to be in order to serve and help as many people as possible.

The challenge is to change the world for the better rather than let the world change us for the worse.

#98 – Science & Spirituality: How You Can Combine Both To Change The World

Richard Lawrence — Sat, 27 May 2023 07:01:12 +0000

Are true science and true religion really so different?

They both strive to understand the nature of the universe.

They both try to express these unchangeable truths.

And, ideally, they both try to apply these truths to bring about the greatest benefit to all.

In fact, many of the most inspired figures in history have talked about the unity of science and religion – Max Planck, Werner Heisenberg, Sri Yukteswar, and Master of Yoga Dr. George King, to name just a few.

Dr. King was a true exemplar of this unity.

He was extremely practical and well-versed in the occult sciences, and applied a logical approach to spirituality.

Check out this week’s episode of The Spiritual Freedom Show for an insight into the way that Dr. King applied this knowledge to change the world.

Richard Lawrence — Sat, 25 Mar 2023 08:01:11 +0000

What got you into spirituality?

I think we can all agree that the traditional image we’re given for a successful, happy life just doesn’t fit with the spiritually-minded person.

It just isn’t enough.

Sooner or later, the desire for truth and the urge to make a difference inspire us to look deeper into what life is really about.

Tune in this week for stories of people on the path – as well as our own accounts of, and reflections on, the great journey to God-consciousness.

Can you recognize some of your own story in them too?

Service Leads to Kundalini Heaven (Part 3)

Richard Lawrence — Fri, 24 Mar 2023 07:01:35 +0000

Materialism is the lie that the meaning of life is the accumulation of wealth, and pleasures we experience through the senses.

It is an illusion fuelled by fear and doubt to enslave us all.

The good news is that we can rise above this completely unnatural state of limitation…

We can be free.

The secret to this freedom is the mystical power we all have at the base of the spine known as “Kundalini”.

But – we are not advocating dangerous Kundalini practices, and in fact we are told that’s not what we need to do anyway, because the natural way to raise Kundalini is service to others.

In this month’s episode of Aetherius Radio Live, hosts Richard Lawrence and Chrissie Blaze conclude their discussion about this incredible teaching we have been given by the Cosmic Master known as “Aetherius”.

Discover more about how you can break away from limitation to experience greater wisdom, intuition and spiritual powers instead!

Knowing God through King Yoga

Richard Lawrence — Wed, 22 Feb 2023 00:09:37 +0000

This month’s episode of Aetherius Radio Live is a very special show featuring a recording made earlier this month by Richard Lawrence.

It includes a series of extracts, exactly as he wrote them, from what Richard calls his ‘Kundalini Diaries’.

He started the diaries on August 13th, 2022, to keep a record of his personal experiences attempting to raise kundalini and open the Third Eye.

On January 14th, 2023, he dipped his toe in the ocean of samadhi.

You can know God through King Yoga.

Important Note:

Richard does not regard himself as qualified to teach any methods relating to kundalini with the exception of those published in the book he co-authored with Dr. George King, Realize Your Inner Potential. He has used the practices contained in this book for decades and without them he would not have reached this stage.

In the light of this he is not advising anyone to use the techniques described in these diaries except those which were taught by or through Dr. King. He also recommends aspirants to follow Dr. King’s guidance in relation to mental and physical health, personal conduct and especially the overall priority of living a life of service to others.

From Orthodoxy to Mysticism – My Christian Journey

Paul Nugent — Wed, 15 Feb 2023 08:01:45 +0000

Almost 40 years ago, in 1984, I was an orthodox Christian. I regularly attended St. Martin-in-the-Fields church in Trafalgar Square, London, known to many people around the world as “the parish church of England”.

I also gave of my services to the Scrub Club, a motley crew of pensioners plus a few lost souls who cleaned the church each Saturday evening. Given that the church was a home for many of London’s down-and-outs, it was little surprise, though highly amusing, when a friend once commented that it was “more like cleaning up after a football match” than dusting a few pews as he had expected.

Image: St. Martin-in-the-Fields, Trafalgar Square, London

My search for Truth had been prompted a few years beforehand when my conscience told me that all was not right with the world. That led to my reading of the four Gospels, and that in turn gave way to my church attendance. I had found in Christ a man who clearly knew the Way, and the way in which we should all rightly live on Earth.

It was therefore something of a shock when I was introduced by a colleague from work to The Aetherius Society. The Society maintains that Christ, or “the Master Jesus,” originates from Venus and that he was an avatar like the Lord Buddha, Shri Krishna and others who had come to this world in order to teach and inspire mankind. Yet these beliefs were tame in comparison to their claim that Jesus had communicated through the founder of The Aetherius Society, Dr. George King.

Two years later, in 1986, I became a Member of The Aetherius Society. The idea that Jesus was from Venus no longer disturbed me. I had always been open to more advanced life existing on other planets albeit upon higher levels of vibration than the physical level of Earth. Flying saucers and psychic mediums alone had done enough to convince me of both of these. Besides, the Bible itself records Jesus as saying “I am from the bright and morning star”, Venus; and “the Star of Bethlehem” makes far more sense as a spacecraft rather than a star hovering over a stable.

But it was this alleged contact between Dr. George King and the Master Jesus which intrigued me and, after sincere investigation, caused me to join The Aetherius Society. Dr. King, I was to learn, was no ordinary individual. Through the adoption of a “positive yogic Samadhic trance” following years of intensely disciplined training, he had been the channel for over 600 “Cosmic Transmissions” throughout the 1950s and ‘60s. These Transmissions were given by advanced Space Intelligences, mainly from Mars and Venus. Included amongst these Transmissions was a series of twelve delivered by the Master Jesus in London on consecutive Sunday mornings between July 27th and October 12th, 1958.

Image: Dr. George King with a first edition of “The Twelve Blessings”

This was not the first time Jesus had spoken in this way through Dr. George King. There had been previous occasions, very often in London’s famous Caxton Hall before audiences of several hundred. Such was the power released as these Transmissions were given that mass fainting was not uncommon. But “The Twelve Blessings”, delivered to a limited audience of 53, were unquestionably special even then. By the time they were over the focus of terrestrial religion could never be the same again. A new concept – a Cosmic Concept – had been given to humanity, and it had been given by Revelation as a Voice of God speaking through the exceptional abilities of a remarkable man.

So what are these Twelve Blessings? Many people have referred to them as a cosmic extension to the Sermon on the Mount. Now that humanity has reached a stage in our evolution where we are beginning to venture into space and, at the same time, gain a greater scientific understanding of the cosmos, it is necessary for us to spiritually develop ourselves. The ultimate Truth is that we, like the Master Jesus, are Divine Beings; and that we exist within an unlimited Universe of Oneness. We are far from being alone in this Universe. The Twelve Blessings present this immaculate philosophy in the most precise and beautiful way. They are teachings for humanity to grow into as we emerge into a whole New Age of greater cosmic awareness.

However, The Twelve Blessings are more than just a series of teachings. Even more importantly than this, they become – as they were intended – a deeply mystical spiritual practice.

Significantly, most of the Blessings were concluded by the Master Jesus with a prayer. Through the use of these prayers a stream of energy is sent out by the prayer to the focal point of each particular Blessing, for example “the Mother Earth” in the Seventh Blessing. By Karmic Law, energy is returned to the person praying from the focal point to which the initial energy was sent. This is one of the secrets behind the power of these wonderful Blessings. It is in this fashion that we may very potently avail ourselves of the spiritual energy necessary to gain enlightenment.

It was actually as a result of my own continued experience with this practice that led not only to my own acceptance of these teachings as coming from Jesus but also my membership of The Aetherius Society. Joining with Services of The Twelve Blessings held in the basement chapel where they had originally been given, I found that as I prayed with outstretched arms, (we have psychic centers in the palms of our hands able to transmit energy) my arms became like rods of steel with shafts of White Light extending out from them as the Blessings increased in potency towards the Twelfth Blessing. It was physically difficult to lower them. This repeated experience, coupling itself with the sheer beauty and profundity of the Blessings, enabled me to bring about a much deeper state of spiritual awareness than I had ever previously known.

It is this which is at the very core of The Twelve Blessings. The opportunity for each of us to heighten our own spiritual and cosmic awareness and in the process transmit great quantities of uplifting healing energy, unseen by the naked eye but most evident to the psychic, out to the world as a whole.

I encourage you to watch the video above and try it for yourself!

An Anti-War Special

Humanity has been fighting wars for thousands of years.

War has never been the answer to any question on Earth, and it never will be.

Overcoming the cold of aloneness

Lisa Rosser — Tue, 26 Apr 2022 21:07:57 +0000

Recently it has been in the news that there is a loneliness epidemic in the world. It’s easy to understand how this could be the case. In the last couple of years many people have been isolated, unable to see friends and family and even work colleagues. But loneliness obviously isn’t a new emotion. All of us have experienced it at some stage, whether it be feeling physically alone and isolated, unsupported by those around us, or we may feel that just nobody understands us. It can take a toll on our physical and mental health.

In 1961, the Master Jesus gave a prayer in which he hints that the reason we feel alone is because we are separated from God:

Oh mighty God,
Let thy wondrous power flow
Through the minds and hearts
Of these dear sweet ones–now,
So that this power in its warmth
May overcome the cold of their aloneness;
So that they may feel again
Their affinity with Thee.

We are all sparks of God, so in that way, we cannot be separated from God. But in our limited state of evolution, we are unable to fully realize this. We see other people as different nationalities, different religions, and so on. We don’t truly appreciate that all life is one, and all life, even a rock, is a part of God.

Everyone on the spiritual path goes through periods of loneliness. In fact, you may find that you feel more loneliness after actively starting on a specific spiritual path, but this will not last so we should not be disheartened or give up. Dr. George King, a Master of Yoga, speaks about this in a lecture from 1962:

So we lose our so-called friends and what happens. Other friends come who are real and true and lasting and honest and good. Far greater friends than ever we had before. We might feel our times of loneliness. Before a man gets illumination, he must go through a period of loneliness. We’ve been through this period. Stark, terrible loneliness. But out of this comes a greater companionship than ever we have experienced before. So we do not lose by this.

The feeling of loneliness is unpleasant. But we have control over our minds, and we are able, through practice, to overcome this feeling, or at least make it so that it does not overwhelm and hinder us. This control over the mind is difficult, and takes lifetimes to master, but we all can take steps towards it.

Loneliness should not stop us from progressing on our spiritual path, as this is what our basic self wants. In the lecture ‘Do not let your basic self fill your heart with hate’, Dr. King says that your basic self will try to fight your spiritual progression by using its “super weapon” – loneliness.

If we keep going forward spiritually, practice controlling our minds and listen to our higher selves, we will progress, and this feeling of loneliness will be more manageable and we can focus on progressing back towards God.

Once we know why we feel lonely, how can we overcome this feeling? The answer from the Cosmic Masters is through giving Service to others. The Karmic Lord, Mars Sector 6 says in The Nine Freedoms:

Break away from your own troubles by concentrating upon the sufferings of others.

If you live a life helping others to overcome their sufferings, you will automatically begin to break away from your own troubles. The more we detach from our own suffering, the less we will be affected by it, and then we can focus our energy on helping others. This is the path of service, breaking away from our own troubles by doing our best to help as many people as we can.

One of the best ways to serve is through prayer. Prayer is not making a wish to an old man on a throne in the clouds. It is a powerful way to send energy through you to the focal point of the prayer.

In a prayer class, Dr. King mentioned that the loneliness we feel, can actually help us in our prayers. We can use this understanding of the feeling to become better prayers:

[I]t’s not until a person has suffered great sorrow, loneliness and sadness, that they can pray. I think after this time they can pray . . . I don’t mean a prayer so much of desperation, but they have so much feeling for others that they can then pray. That’s why all initiates have to go through a period of loneliness.

Loneliness, along with everything we go through, can help us to serve others better. Seeing loneliness in this light can make it more manageable. We can see that it is just another lesson in life, and turn this negative feeling into a positive result, by helping someone else.

The Prayer for Spiritual Workers is an ideal prayer to say when you are feeling lonely. It was a prayer given by the Master Jesus, through the mediumship of Dr. George King on December 22, 1962.

The Master Jesus says of this prayer:

Say this prayer with your heart and with your Soul, when the world is cold to you–and you will be warmed. Say it when you are down–and you will be lifted. Say it when you are alone–and you will be comforted by a presence.

It is a very beautiful and powerful prayer.

Prayer For Spiritual Workers

Oh mighty God, I bless all those
Who, because of their limitations,
Would smite me.

Oh mighty God, I bless all those
Who, because of their weakness,
Would not heed me.

Oh mighty God, I bless all those
Who, because of their ignorance,
Would defile you, through me.

And I ask, oh mighty God, oh wondrous power,
That your strength may be given to me now;
So that I might be fortified by this,
So that I might go forward bravely into the world,
And despite reception, send forth my love of thee,
Throughout all races of man.

Oh mighty God, give me the power and strength,
To rise above my karmic weakness,
The deficiencies in the pattern of my evolution,
So that I might evolve and become stronger,
Aye, and even stronger, in thy everlasting light.
Oh God, thy will be done.

So the next time you feel lonely, say this prayer and remember that you are not truly alone as this is only a temporary feeling. Then send out your prayers to help the world, and know that you are taking a small but significant step back to God.

Pride and Priorities – feel good about doing good!

Mark Bennett — Mon, 21 Mar 2022 20:03:01 +0000

What makes you feel proud of yourself?

Before answering this question, let’s look at the following very illuminating statement about pride made by Dr. George King in 1965 in a lecture entitled ‘The Coming Year’:

…we should feel doubly honored – all of us – should feel doubly honored, we should feel very, very proud, in the right manner – I’m talking now about spiritual pride, not material pride, which is a cancer. But we should feel spiritually proud that The Aetherius Society was the organization through which the real truth about the Initiation was given to this Earth for the sake of posterity… It’s an amazing thing that this should have happened…

Dr. King was talking here to Members of The Aetherius Society, but whether a Member or not, the essence of this wisdom still rings true.

So let’s think about how we can apply this principle of spiritual pride to our own lives now – and enjoy the happiness it can bring us…!

Here’s the question again: what makes you feel proud?

Is it how good you look, or is it how much good you have done?

Is it how much money you have accumulated, or how much money you have given away in service to God?

Is it your shiny, new car in the driveway, or is it the fact that you have taken part in a mass healing mission such as Operation Prayer Power?

Is it your fancy holiday on a sunny beach, or having attended a religious or spiritual service as important as a Service of Thanksgiving for a Phase of the world-saving mission Operation Sunbeam?

Is it what is admired by the people around you, or what is appreciated by the Gods – that makes you truly proud?

If we make the effort to feel pride in doing good, and feel no pride in materialism– then we are affirming the importance of good, and the unimportance of materialism, in our own minds.

This affirmation will spiritualize our priorities – our choices – and mean that we put more energy into good, and less – or hopefully even none – into materialism.

When we look at our lives, it is what we do that helps others – that serves God – that should make us proud, and nothing else.

This feeling of pride will make us happy – and we deserve to feel happy from this pride. And this happy feeling of pride should not lull us into complacency, but rather should inspire us into doing more good.

While the motive of doing good should not be to feel good ourselves, there is nothing wrong with feeling good, if we are feeling good for the right reason; in fact, on the contrary, it is good to feel good. We all know how much more pleasant it is to be around someone who feels good than someone who does not – so let’s feel good to make others feel good.

Most of us at times feel envy – someone is richer or fitter or clever or better looking etc. But if we are leading a truly spiritual life of service, such envy is exposed as an absurdity. Because none of these things – being richer or fitter or cleverer or better looking etc – matter at all, unless they are somehow applied in service. They can be a means to Godliness when used in this light, but they are never an end in themselves. And to believe in them as ends in themselves, is to deceive ourselves and cause ourselves pain.

If we lead a spiritual life of service, and feel pride in this, this whole value system will serve to free us from the materialistic trap. We will be able to see ever more clearly what really matters and what does not – and this will inform our every thought and action – and we will feel better than we have ever felt in our lives – because this spiritual happiness is the only form of happiness that is really deserved; that is anything like close to the reality of God.

This does not mean that we will never feel sad again – or even that we should never feel sad again. But again, that sadness will not be for some ridiculous, materialistic nonsense like the fact that our next-door neighbor has a bigger, better car than we do – the sadness will be for things that really matter, like the suffering of the selfish and apathetic masses, who could change and be free of such suffering. This too will inspire us to do ever greater good – and then we will feel that spiritual pride – and resultant happiness – all the more.

Naturally, this pride should not be arrogance – and will not be arrogance if treated with wisdom; on the contrary it will lead to greater humility. By valuing doing good, we will value those who do more good than we do. We will therefore co-operate with them more; help them more. We will follow their example – and evolve to become like them – to the Bliss of God-Consciousness…!

To end, here are a few words to inspire us from the Great Ones:

I have no doubt that every loyal member reading this will take pride in the fact that he or she is a part of a Society which is given the privilege of working so directly with The Great Cosmic Masters.

Cosmic Voice – Issue 22, Dr. George King

My message just now, is to rally your forces more than ever before and keep your heads higher than ever before. Higher, with the pride you have in your Divine Task. So that you may lead those by the hand, who have just thrown the rocks of their hatred against you.

Cosmic Voice – Issue 12, The Master Aetherius

… we all enjoyed every moment of it, realizing that we were working under the directions of the Great Adepts for the benefit of the whole planet. Such is the reward of service, for there is nothing so satisfying as working for the Glory of God in the service of mankind….

Cosmic Voice – Volume 2, Dr. George King

Let us remind ourselves – whenever our hearts seem to flutter away from God, in the strange, deceptive breeze of materialistic longing – that in actual fact: there is nothing so satisfying as working for the Glory of God in the service of mankind – and that we should be truly proud when we do so…!

#36 – Don’t Let Attachments Hold You Back On Your Spiritual Path

Richard Lawrence — Sat, 19 Mar 2022 07:01:06 +0000

In the Fifth Freedom, Mars Sector 6 reveals more about the spiritual glory of Cosmic Consciousness – the highest state of consciousness on Earth.

He also reveals how we continue to limit these latent abilities within us – how we delude ourselves – because of our ignorance of oneness.

We are all cells in a cosmic whole, and, in the light of this wisdom, seeing ourselves apart from another cell in the whole is simply illogical and unfeeling.

Even becoming attached to anything that we own becomes a limitation, because we cannot really ever own anything…

In this week’s episode: We continue with our 4-part series exploring some of the limitations and delusions we must all overcome on Earth in our journey towards Enlightenment, Cosmic Consciousness and, ultimately, Ascension. Our topic this week is possession.

In the Fifth Freedom, Mars Sector 6 gives us a glimpse of the highest state of consciousness on Earth – Cosmic Consciousness; or what he calls the “real beginning of Freedom.”

In this week’s episode: We kick off a 4-part series exploring some of the limitations and delusions we must all overcome on Earth in our journey towards Enlightenment, Cosmic Consciousness and, ultimately, Ascension. Our topic this week is racial prejudice.

#32 – How To Become Spiritually Enlightened (Part 2)

Richard Lawrence — Sat, 12 Feb 2022 08:01:14 +0000

Enlightenment is a state so much greater than any of us can really imagine – unless we are already enlightened! Nevertheless, we all have the potential to bring this state into being within ourselves – if we tend to it in certain ways.

In this week’s episode: Join us as we continue our 3-part series exploring six ways that you can cultivate Enlightenment in your everyday life, this time looking specifically at the qualities of patience and tolerance. How was Master of Yoga Dr. George King an example of these qualities? How do they apply to someone working towards Enlightenment in our world today?

#30 – Does Your Motive Matter When You Help Others?

Richard Lawrence — Sat, 29 Jan 2022 08:01:22 +0000

In The Nine Freedoms we learn that being spiritual is about putting the wisdom of oneness into practice, or in other words: helping the whole, rather than just ourselves, to evolve towards God-realization.

A key element of service is motive – the reason why we do what we do.

In this week’s episode: How important is our motive in spiritual work? What can we do to guard ourselves against the wrong motive? Should we wait until we’re Enlightened before we serve?
