AWAKENING THE CHILDREN OF THE LAW OF ONE ( I ) Dr. Henry and Erika Monteith www.soulmatecosmology.com Everything written below is from the point of view of our personal cosmology. It is not intended to be true for anyone else reading it, and we are most certainly not attempting to convince the reader of anything whatsoever. Even if we desired to do so, it is impossible; because one person can never transfer his understanding to another! It is for you to prove or disprove according to your ability to expand your consciousness. You are a Microcosm, created to view the Cosmos from your own unique point of view; therefore, if you wish to experience the indescribable joy and happiness of knowing who you are, where you came from, and where you are going, you must develop your personal cosmology from scratch to the level of awareness where you feel the wondrous bliss of being at One with The Consciousness of Energy! Remember, right and wrong are dual aspects of the same thing! Arguing between them is useless, because one cannot exist without the other; it is for you to choose which side you will physically realize and which side you will leave unfulfilled in your unconscious mind where it must eternally serve as a reference! To all of my brothers and sisters who listen to this message: First of all, these words are not mine, but the words of my ancestors. In the prophecy of the Maya th th it is stated that the time of the 12 Baktun and the 13 Ahau (December 21, 2012) marks the date of the return of our ancestors and the Men of Wisdom. Let the morning come, let the dawn come for the people to find peace and be happy. Do not be afraid of this because it is only a time of change, just like the change st from the old year ending on December 31 to the New Year beginning on st January 1. Who knows how many times this has happened before? We are now in the fourth period of the Sun! Do not believe all of these things you are hearing from those people who are threatening the world. Don Alejandro: Mayan Elder and Shaman To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven. (Ecclesiastes 3:1) -1-

Just as the rising of the SUN heralds the transformation from the gloom of the NIGHT into the joyous dawning of a glorious new DAY, the Priests and Shamans, who are the ancestors of the ancient MAYA, are heralding the transformation of the planes of consciousness of Mankind on Earth from the darkness of the Caterpillar Phase, which has been dominated by THE GOD OF WAR, to the glorious Light of the Butterfly Phase that shall be dominated by THE GODDESS OF LOVE AND LIFE (see our articles: Evolution(Spirit Cycle I&II)) and the Figure(1) below): Our Splendid SUN, who is deeply in LOVE with all of Her children on Earth, is powerfully confirming the words of the Mayan Elders by using Her beautiful Language of Light to speak to everyone whose planes of consciousness have been expanded in spiritual awareness high enough to enable them to hear her charming voice! This great cycle of mankind s Evolutionary and Involutionary physical, mental, and Spiritual soulmate action Cycle on earth (EIC), shown in Figure(1), is in the process of renewing itself. For this to happen she, who represents the creative process of LOVE, must line up with her child, the Earth, who represents the creative process of LIFE, and with the Galactic Center who represents the IDEALIZATION creative process of the MIND of GOD, who is THE NAMELESS ONE of ancient times, and who is referred to in our Personal Cosmology as THE NAMELESS AND BOUNDLESS COSMIC ESSENCE (BCE). This sacred alignment, which occurs only once in 26,000 years, will take place on December 21, 2012! At this time, Mankind s cycle of Spiritual Development on Earth will be boosted from the evolutionary Caterpillar Phase of Darkness into the involutionary Butterfly Phase of Light by a burst of high quality spiritual ACTION ENERGY from the Galactic Center. It is very urgent that we prepare for this now to the best of our ability! Our beloved SUN, the Father and Mother of our Solar System, presently acting in Her dominant Feminine mode, is not only speaking spiritually to us, she is backing up her words with ACTION! Her magnetic field is reversing, South is becoming North, as it does cyclically approximately every eleven years; however, this time, the manner in which she is doing so is very strange and space scientists, who are observing her, are baffled. They cannot understand why the North Polar Aspect of Her field is moving so much faster than the South Polar Aspect! -2-

Figure (1) Right now, there is an imbalance between the North and the South Poles, wrote Jonathan Cirtain, NASA s project scientist for a Japanese solar mission called Hinode, in a recent article on NASA s website. He went on to say: the North is already in transition, well ahead of the South, and we do not understand why. The effects of this wonderful alignment process are increasingly being felt by everyone physically, mentally, and spiritually. The so-called ARAB SPRING, now under way, is inspiring the people of Muslim Background, for example, to throw off the Tyrants who have suppressed them for so long. Everything which is perceived to be selflessly good about man as well as everything judged to be selfishly evil about man are being accentuated and compounded. It is directly -3-

caused by the increasing intensity of the Glorious Light Energy flowing in with the stimulating NEW-AGE CONSCIOUSNESS associated with it. In accord with THE ABSOLUTE LAW OF ONENESS, it is the primary driving force behind the increasing desire of physicists, mathematicians, and cosmologists to develop theories of everything; however, until now, they have been missing the most important component of this which is THE DEVELOPMENT OF FEMININE SPIRITUAL SCIENCE to balance THE MASCULINE PHYSICAL SCIENCE that they have been nurturing since the time of Sir Isaac Newton. Only after Feminine Spiritual Science has been married to Masculine Physical Science will it be possible to develop a Theory of Everything, which includes CONSCIOUSNESS, and has the power to adequately address the profound concerns of Dr. Eugene Wigner, one of the most enlightened developers of Quantum Theory and a Nobel Prize Winner in Physics: Physics has offered me a lot of joy. I loved physics. I still love it. But I cannot grasp a considerable part of recent physics: it is getting too complex and too sophisticated for me. But if a single person is able to catch only smaller and smaller fractions of science, and cannot understand the essence of science, young people may lose their interest in it. Today it is almost impossible to know the whole of physics. I consider this complexity to be a danger for the future of science. If people don't get an overview, they may lose interest. If they are not interested, they will not learn science. If young people do not study science, that will terminate the development of science. I am deeply worried that we have not yet received any message from alien civilizations. It is probable that there are other habitable planets; people, or other similar creatures, may live on them. It is likely that some of these civilizations have developed more knowledge than we have. (Please read The Elohim Starfleets) If the brilliant mind of Dr. Eugene Wigner was not capable of grasping a considerable part of recent Unified Field Theories and their associated cosmology, and found it to be too complex and too sophisticated, then it is absolutely impossible to extract from it, in its present form, a sensible and relevant OVERVIEW of the true nature of our wonderful COSMOS that is palatable to the minds of today s young people! In addition, these theories deal solely with -4-

physical action effects, and because they totally ignore consciousness, they have not even the remotest relationship to the great CAUSAL Cosmic Powers of MIND, LOVE, and LIFE! Only Spiritual Science can deal with the great Cosmic Truth that ENERGY IS CONSCIOUS (see our articles: The Consciousness of Energy I & II). This is far from being a personal belief; for us, this is Absolute Knowledge! Since everything is made of energy and we are all bounded and centered drops of energy in an Infinite Ethereal Sea of Cosmic Mind-Force Energy, and CONSCIOUSNESS is the bounding and centering action of the NAMELESS and BOUNDLESS COSMIC ESSENCE (BCE), mankind is blind to the awesome fact that BCE is EVERYWHERE! According to Stephen Hawking and Leonard Mlodinow, in their book, The Grand Design, Philosophy is dead! Well, if this is true, then Spiritual Science is most certainly also dead; however, this is very far from the case because in the minds of those who have expanded their planes of consciousness above the fourth level of awareness (see Spirit Cycle I & II), Spiritual Science has made far more progress than Physical Science since the beginning of the Renaissance; Isaac Newton, the father of Classical Physics, was also one of the greatest Spiritual Scientists! The time has now come for FEMININE SPIRITUAL SCIENCE to be married to MASCULINE PHYSICAL SCIENCE in order to develop a THEORY OF EVERYTHING, which includes CONSCIOUSNESS, that gives a tentative OVERVIEW of the Physical, Mental, and Spiritual Structure of our Beautiful and sublimely Mysterious COSMOS, and indicates THE PURPOSE OF MAN in Its Evolutionary and Involutionary processes. This is the only way in which our precious children can be spiritually awakened and inspired to begin the process of developing their Personal Cosmologies from their individual and unique points of view; therefore, BCE (GOD) is now asking Mankind an extremely important question: Have at least a few people on earth expanded their planes of consciousness to high enough levels of Spiritual Awareness to now make the formulation of an OVERVIEW possible? (See Christ (Ouranos)) The answer is yes if these few now deeply understand THE REAL PURPOSE OF MAN IN THE COSMOS. -5-

The purpose of man is to evolve and joyously expand the COSMIC SPIRITUAL AWARENESS of THE BOUNDLESS COSMIC ESSENCE (BCE), beginning at the animal level of awareness, and forever projecting forward into eternity by praising, honoring, and glorifying the awesome BEAUTY and WONDER of His creations. Since you can never truly praise and glorify that which you do not comprehend and understand, to fulfill your divine purpose you must spiritually uplift yourself through the agony and the ecstacy of many lifetimes of experience. Indeed, this must be done with a deep devotion to the love of pure holistic learning while thinking, concentrating, and meditating deeply upon that learning, in consultation with the HIGH SELF of your SPIRIT, for the purpose of earning the priceless jewels of eternally expanding knowledge, profound wisdom, and deep understanding. These things are the prerequisites for awakening your Cosmic Awareness, and qualifying yourself to experience the ecstatic joy of being a co-creator with THE BOUNDLESS COSMIC ESSENCE, eternally at One with Him, and intellectually and emotionally sharing the awesome bliss of being centered and enfolded in His boundless Light and Love! THE PRIME DIRECTIVE: HOLISTICALLY EDUCATING THE CHILD Throughout the Caterpillar Phase of Mankind s cycle of spiritual evolution on earth (see Evolution (Spirit Cycle I & II)), their planes of consciousness are so low that it is virtually impossible, even for the most devoted and loving parents, to attract the Spirit of a Child, whose level of spiritual awareness is higher than their own, and realize that regardless of the spiritual level of the child at birth, they still potentially contain within themselves all of the creative powers of THE NAMELESS AND BOUNDLESS COSMIC ESSENCE (BCE). A very critical point, which we will discuss in greater detail later, is the sublime fact that when the Planes of Consciousness of the Mothers are at the lowest three levels of Cosmic Spiritual Awareness, they will give birth almost exclusively to Children of the Selfish Self (CSS) who require extensive learning in the Darkness of the Caterpillar Phase. On the other hand, if the Planes of Consciousness of the Mothers are at the fourth level of Cosmic Spiritual Awareness, or higher, they give birth to Children of the Law of One (CLO) who -6-

are ONE in Consciousness with BCE and in the process of becoming co-creators with Him. Therefore, as the Planes of Consciousness of the Women fall from the Light into the Darkness, the Caterpillar Phase begins; and as their Planes of Consciousness rise from the Darkness into the Light, the Butterfly Phase begins. The treatment of the Women (Goddesses) heralds the Nature of the World! If there has ever been any doubt that CHRIST (The Spirit of the Sun) was, and is, the most wonderful teacher of the creative process of LOVE in history, they are instantly dispelled when his elaborate explanations concerning THE DIVINITY OF THE CHILD, the eternal presence of BCE, and the true meaning of Heaven are even partially comprehended (see our article: Christ(Ouranos)). Even though these great teachings have yet to be understood completely and conscientiously applied, for 2000 years they have been serving as an inspiring goal toward which everyone, who has taken them seriously, is striving relentlessly to reach. This knowledge is utilized to great effect by those few wise parents who teach their children very important things that serve them well during their entire lifetimes and devotes them to THE LOVE OF PURE LEARNING. Instead of blocking the minds of their children with fixed, biased, and prejudiced religious and secular dogma, and ruthlessly constraining them with social mores, norms, and customs, they encourage them to devoutly look at each thing, that they greatly desire to know, love, and understand, and meditate deeply upon it with their innocent, inquisitive, and unfettered Minds. Finally, noble parents take great delight in helping their children remember their Microcosmic status and joyfully look forward to helping them find the unique path they were born to follow which leads to the cosmic bliss of fulfilling the aspirations and learning desires of their Spirits during their lifetimes. Every parent should be fully aware of the profound teachings of Christ, pertaining to the heavenly status of their Children, even before they are born. The essence of these teachings is given in Matthew 18:1-6. At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven? And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them. And -7-

said, Verily I say unto you, Except you be converted, and become as little children, you shall not enter the kingdom of heaven. Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receives me. But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea. The real meaning of these profound statements made by Christ, pertaining to the very great importance of maintaining and nurturing a child-like mind, cannot be understood and appreciated until the meaning of the Greek word Ouranos, which was wrongly translated Heaven, is comprehended. In our article, Christ(Ouranos), we have thoroughly discussed how Christ used seven parables and thirteen illustrations to convince his disciples that Ouranos means THE EXPANSION OF CONSCIOUSNESS! The minds of newborn children are initially programmed and primed directly by BCE to look out into the world with great desires to joyfully expand their planes of consciousness, through many and diverse experiences as their lives unfold, and by dedicating themselves relentlessly to THE LOVE OF PURE LEARNING. Briefly, what Christ is implying here is that the Mind of a Child is identical to the Mind of BCE; and, to constrain the Mind of a Child is identical to constraining the ability of BCE to project His Love, Light, and Divine Creative Imagination into the world which effectively helps the children Expand Their Planes of Consciousness. The Minds of very young Children conform naturally to the purity of inspired TRUTH; they are intrinsically beautiful, holy, and divine. They are not guileful and deceitful; they do not violate their consciousness nor do they conceal their real character. They are not ashamed of being ignorant, but rather they are inspired by this temporary state to be tireless in their pursuit of learning all about the thousands of new things and experiences that confront them daily. Children spontaneously and impulsively believe everything that they hear and see; and, they assume that everybody speaks the truth. Their simple hearts are altogether unsuspicious and trustful; they are affectionate and naturally inclined to love. When love is manifested toward them, they return love for love by fearlessly -8-

and unsuspiciously giving their hearts. Young children naturally live by faith altogether and are unaware of any other way to live. They fervently rely upon their parents, friends, and everyone they come in contact with implicitly and trust them with such deep heartfelt gratitude that they have no anxieties and no solicitudes. The minds of children have a spirit of the most discrete candor: they are frank and sincere in all of their expressions; they are characterized by openness, freedom from prejudice, and impartiality. The serenity of the mind of a child is not shattered by the relentless struggle between for this thing and against that thing. All truly wise people, who have maintained their child-like mind to some degree, realize that this kind of fruitless mental conflict is the worst possible enemy of the Childlike Mind. Such a Mind loves truth, is easily controlled by it, and never thinks about resisting it. Since the Mind of a Child is a direct reflection of the Mind of BCE (GOD), it is also the most perfect and accessible REPRESENTATION of BCE in the entire COSMOS! Therefore, to constrain the Mind of a Child, is to constrain the Mind of BCE, and to pollute and desecrate the Mind of a Child is to pollute and desecrate BCE. This is why Christ said: But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea. The divinely inspired Mind, of each and every Child, can only remain perfectly balanced in an environment where the absolute freedom of thought is relentlessly promoted. Only parents and teachers who have been educated holistically, to the highest degree possible, are able to provide such an environment. First and foremost they must have a deep understanding of the nine levels of Divine Spiritual Awareness through which the planes of consciousness of their children are cyclically expanding and contracting as illustrated in Figure(2). In the first two articles of our series, Evolution (Spirit Cycle I & II), we defined the nine levels of consciousness and spiritual awareness. We then proceeded to describe how all evolutionary and involutionary soulmate cosmological action, which eternally expands the Divine Cosmic Awareness of BCE beyond His Projective Boundary at Infinity, is measured by the cyclic expansion and -9-

Figure (2) contraction of the planes of consciousness, of each and every Microcosm of Cosmic Mankind (unique person), upwards and downwards through the nine planes of BCE s Cosmic Spiritual AWARENESS. In Figure(3) we have superimposed the nine levels of Cosmic Awareness on Mankind s evolutionary and involutionary spiritual cycle. Utilizing His four great processes of creativity: MIND, LOVE, LIFE, and ACTION (see our article: Evolution (Creation Laws)), BCE simultaneously bounds all Involutionary and Evolutionary Soulmate Cosmological Action below at level zero (0), above at level ten (10), centers It at level five (5) and then projects It into Cosmic Reality utilizing THE SEVEN RAYS OF MANIFESTATION! The ego, or unique neutral action centering point of each -10-

Figure (3) and every person is represented by the fifth Level. Since all Microcosms, regardless of the level to which their planes of consciousness have expanded, subconsciously have the fifth Level of Awareness in common, it is represented by the note SO (G in the C-major scale). Therefore, we can think of the fifth level as being the plane of ego consciousness. The ego dominates the personality, just like the note SO dominates the Feminine Creative Octave of Cosmic Music! Throughout the Darkness of the Caterpillar Phase, which is now terminating on planet earth, the planes of consciousness of nearly everybody have been restricted to expanding upwards and contracting downwards through spiritual awareness levels one(1) to four(4) at which they have been largely unaware of the fact that they are Microcosms of BCE, with all of the powers of the COSMOS potentially within them; consequently, the Childlike Mind has been enslaved throughout by extensive negativity, dogmatic programming, and monetary materialism. The result is ruthless suppression of the Childlike Mind which has led to the nature of -11-

the world as mankind has perceived it to be for the last 12,000 years of the Caterpillar phase; a world which has been dominated by THE MASCULINE GOD OF WAR (see Figure(3)). TRANSFORMING FROM THE DARKNESS INTO THE LIGHT The time has now come when earthbound Mankind must answer the most critically important question that BCE can ask of them throughout the entire 26,000 years of the evolutionary and involutionary cycle of their physical, mental, and spiritual development on earth. The question is as follows: Has Mankind, as a whole, developed their philosophical knowledge, their physical scientific knowledge, and their spiritual scientific knowledge to a level of sophistication and spiritual awareness high enough to enable each and every child incarnating on earth now, and into the future, to expand their consciousness beyond the fourth Level? In other words, is it now possible to develop an adequate system of Holistic Education which will enable parents to give their children the tools that they require to develop their Personal Cosmologies th and, in the process, expand their planes of consciousness beyond the 4 level of spiritual awareness where they can begin the process of releasing all of their divine creative potentials? Since Mathematics and Physical Science, have already been adequately developed, our entire attention must now be directed toward determining the state of Spiritual Science on Planet Earth today! We begin to make our evaluation by first determining to what degree the systems of religion in the world today conform to the Four Great Creative Laws of the Cosmos, as they have been defined in the correct translation of the first four verses of Genesis (see our article Genesis (Creation Laws)), and the extent to which they have adhered to the teachings of Christ (The Spirit of the Octave of the Sun) that pertain to Cosmic Love and the expansion of mankind s planes of consciousness into the bliss of ONENESS with BCE. We will be paying special attention to the discrepancies we find by noting the impact they have had upon the spiritual development of the world s Precious Children. The disciples of Christ predicted the state of the Christian religion, at this time, in 2 Timothy 3 : 1-5: This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, -12-

disobedient to parents, unthankful, and unholy. Without natural affection, truce breakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good. Traitors, heady, high minded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. In our article Evolution (Spirit Cycle I), we told you that we are all living in AN ABSOLUTE PARADISE where all of our dreams are coming true! We also mentioned that our glorious COSMOS is PERFECT and that all of its involutionary and evolutionary processes are proceeding precisely according to the plans of THE NAMELESS AND BOUNDLESS COSMIC ESSENCE (BCE). How then is this compatible with the fact that the majority of people on earth today seem to have accustomed themselves to living and participating in morally corrupt societies in which they are enslaved by greedy power seeking dictators, corrupt governments, Chief Executive Officers, Perverted Entertainment Industries, and Big Bank Capitalism who are woefully exploiting and enslaving them with usury: the only thing which made Christ angry, and which is condemned by more than 55 biblical verses? The reason is implicitly implied in the fact that only those who have experienced the awful pain of being hated, and the gloomy darkness of being separated from BCE, can fully appreciate, with the most profound expression of heart-felt JOY (see our article: Grace and Prayer), and the unspeakable BLISS of being at ONE with BCE! Herein lies the essence of the reason why it is absolutely necessary for all of BCE s Microcosms to experience 12,000 years of Spiritual Darkness, during the Caterpillar Phase, before they can qualify to experience the Boundless Bliss and unspeakable JOY of expanding their Planes of Consciousness into the Boundlessness of the Cosmic Awareness of BCE! The Human Mind can only fully Comprehend, Understand, and see the Beauty in those things of which it has experienced both aspects of their duality! It is only by suffering the awful pain of living, learning, and participating in the religious decline, which was predicted in 2 Timothy 3:1-5, that the people are now being motivated, inspired, and filled with a great desire to throw off the materialistic darkness, that has enslaved their Spirits, and utilize everything, which has been hard learned during the darkness, to lift themselves up into the Light by expanding their planes of consciousness as Christ tried so hard to teach them to do -13-

two thousand years ago (see our article: Christ (Ouranos))! But, until now, they have still not understood the teachings, let alone apply them! This means that the physical, mental, and spiritual development which the people of Earth have achieved through thinking, concentrating, and meditating upon the agony and the ecstacy of the mundane experiences of their lives, and by profoundly dedicating themselves to THE LOVE OF PURE LEARNING, has been consciously realized only by a very few Spiritually uplifted Souls! Dire verification of this is that the neglectful and deliberate abuse of the world s Precious Children, out of ignorance and spite, is more horrific than ever!! Please see the appendix below. THE ABUSE OF GOD DURING THE CATERPILLAR PHASE Since BCE (GOD) is eternally BOUNDLESS, He can never be perceived; if this is so, then He can also never be properly NAMED; consequently, throughout the entire domain of illusionary Space and Time, He has always been, and always will be referred to as THE NAMELESS ONE. He is innately characterized by AN ETERNAL DESIRE TO KNOW HIMSELF; however, being boundless, and eternally beyond any boundary at infinity His Cosmic Awareness may eternally project, He can never perceive Himself directly. Therefore, He never has completely know Himself; and, He never will completely known Himself! This state of eternal affairs is characterized by the three great irrational numbers, PI, PHI, and EXP whose absolutely precise value can never be written down because the digits of their decimal parts extend beyond infinity! Therefore, BCE created the perceivable COSMOS as a MACROCOSM to REPRESENT Himself, and then created MAN as a MICROCOSM of His MACROCOSMIC COSMOS, who could perceive and learn all about His Awesome COSMOS and then, through abstract inductive and deductive reasoning, help Him to Eternally Expand His SPIRITUAL AWARENESS of HIMSELF and, ultimately, of OURSELVES because in the final analysis: MAN AND GOD ARE ONE! This can only mean that each and every human being, or Microcosm, is a direct representative of GOD (BCE); it also implies that whatever you do to another human being, you are doing to GOD! Now, the purest reflection of the MIND of GOD, is the Mind of a New Born Baby. Therefore, when you look into the eyes of a newborn baby, you are looking directly into THE MIND OF GOD! It is fantastic, but Cosmically True that the closest that anyone will ever get to -14-

actually touching GOD, is to touch a NEWBORN CHILD! Now can you understand what Christ was trying to tell earthbound Mankind about the Divinity of Children and the dire consequences of abusing them? When we say the words abuse of children, we also mean abuse of their mothers because the abuse of the mothers of mankind also translates directly into abuse of the world s precious children! It is the right of every child to have adequate food, clothing, shelter, health care and education! Fulfilling these needs in impoverished nations, in which children are starving, is admittedly difficult, even if the will to do so is present; however, it has been estimated that about 30 billion dollars a year, the amount of money spent for military purposes every eight days, is sufficient to eliminate all starvation in the world! Why has such a high priority been given to wasting valuable resources by developing means of self-destruction, and such a low priority given to investing in the children of the world who are a priceless resource of creativity that will ultimately yield unlimited physical, mental, and spiritual rewards? Throughout the past 12,000 years of agonizing experience in the darkness of the Caterpillar Phase, mankind has developed both physical and spiritual science; however, Spiritual Science has been cheapened and corroded by associating it with blind and irrational religious faith ; so much so, that even open minded physical scientists, working at low levels of spiritual awareness, have often considered it to be pseudoscience at best! In addition, their minds have been so stifled by the struggle between that which they deem to be true, with respect to that which they deem to be false, that they cannot realize that the unlimited potentials of the world s Divine Children can only be released with a highly developed system of Holistic Education which is attained by first unifying Physical Science and Spiritual Science and then creating a THEORY OF EVERYTHING that is based upon THE CONSCIOUSNESS OF ENERGY and is BOUNDED and CENTERED by the LOVE and LIGHT of THE NAMELESS AND BOUNDLESS COSMIC ESSENCE. The time has now come for the people of earth to profoundly realize that without DUALITY, there would be no THOUGHT, no COSMOS, and no SOULMATE COSMOLOGICAL ACTION. Example: without NIGHT and DAY, there would be no LIFE on Earth Period! Since the sublime fact is that All of the Heavens, All of the Hells, and All of the Gods are within Man; stupidity, and the existence -15-

of so-called IGNORANCE and EVIL, can never be used as an EXCUSE! Man needs only to make the correct choices, fulfill the four processes of creation, and ALL of his joyous heavenly dreams will come true and replace the fulfillment of the old selfish and purely materialistic dreams that have brought him so much misery during the dark Caterpillar Phase. In Cosmic Truth, there is no such thing as good and evil; However, if one desires to define a duality of this kind, that is compatible with the Divine Laws of the Cosmos, then one might state: The most demonic, and darkest of evil, is Willful and Sustained Ignorance. The most virtuous and angelic Light of Good, is the Love of Pure Learning while deeply meditating upon that learning, to obtain wisdom and understanding in Oneness with the Cosmic Spirit that bounds each person from without, and centers each person from within. Henry & Erika Monteith It is stated outright in the New Testament that THE BODY OF MAN IS THE TEMPLE OF GOD! Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are! I Corinthians 3 : 16-17 These statements dramatically implicate The Great Spiritual Ignorance of Mankind on Earth today! It implies that their Spiritual Awareness is so low that they are incapable of realizing that maintaining the welfare, health, and beauty, of their bodies, while continually expanding their mental and spiritual abilities through THE LOVE OF PURE LEARNING, is the HIGHEST PRAISE AND ADORATION that can ever be given to GOD! If they were told that Christ was going to pay their church buildings a visit, they would spare nothing, and sacrifice everything, to make their churches as clean and beautiful as they could! Yet today, especially in America, malnutrition, obesity, abuse of the body with harmful drugs, little or no health care for their poorest and uneducated people, -16-

and the lack of a highly evolved Holistic Childhood Education for everyone, is now threatening the fabric and security of the entire Nation! If the American people (a large percentage of whom claim to be devout Christians!) had only taken these verses seriously, none of these problems would have developed, and we can only guess the extent to which HEAVEN ON EARTH could have been realized in America by this time! Hopefully, with President Obama, and new revelations that are now coming forth, these conditions may begin to reverse, and the creative power of the American people be regenerated with a highly sophisticated system of Holistic Education for their children which we and our colleagues are now in the process of developing. In vain do we build the city if we do not build the Man! In like manner: In vain do we build a Church if we do not utilize it to the maximum extent toward developing each and every member physically, mentally and spiritually. The most sacred temple of all is THE BODY OF A WOMAN because it is not only the home of her Spirit, it is the glorious life-giving mechanism through which all of the Gods (Microcosms) incarnate into the physical world in order to have the priceless opportunity of establishing the reference points they require to continue the process of eternally expanding their Planes of Consciousness. Christ (see our article: The Spirit of the Octave of the Sun (Christ Consciousness)) deeply attests to this in a sermon that was recorded in Kashmir: At this point, an aged woman, who had approached the group that she might better hear Issa(Christ), was pushed aside by one of the men in disguise who placed himself before her. Issa then said: It is not meet that a son should push aside his mother to occupy the first place which should be hers. Whosoever respects not his mother, the most sacred being next to God, is unworthy of the name Son. Listen, therefore, to what I am about to say: Respect Woman, for she is the mother of the universe and all the truth of divine creation dwells within her. She is the basis of all that is good and beautiful, as she is also the germ of life and death. On her depends the entire existence of man, for she is his moral and natural support in all his works. -17-

She gives you birth amid sufferings; by the sweat of her brow she watches over your growth, and until her death you cause her the most intense anguish. Bless her and adore her, for she is your only friend and support upon earth. Respect her, protect her; in doing this, you will win her love and her heart, and you will be pleasing to God; for this shall many of your sins be remitted. Therefore, love your wives and respect them, for tomorrow they shall be your mothers, and later grandmothers of a whole nation. Be submissive toward your wife; her love ennobles man, softens his hardened heart, tames the beast and makes of it a lamb. Just as the God of armies separated day from night and the land from the waters, so woman possesses the divine talent of separating good intentions from evil thoughts in men. Therefore, I say to you: After God, your best thoughts should belong to women and to wives, woman being to you the divine temple wherein you shall most easily obtain perfect happiness. Draw your moral strength from this temple; there you will forget your sorrows and failures, you will recover the wasted forces necessary to help your neighbor. Do not expose her to humiliation; you would thereby humiliate yourself and lose the sentiment of love, without which nothing exists here below. Protect your wife, that she may protect you and all of your family; all that you shall do for your mother, your wife, for a widow, or another woman in distress, you shall have done for God. Instead of being Divine School Houses for the world s Precious Children and their Mothers, they are administered by intellectually and spiritually undeveloped ministers and parishioners who have a form of Godliness, but are denying the power therefore as was predicted in 2 Timothy 3 : 1-5. After the Bible was canonized, all hope of developing an esoteric Spiritual Science by Christians was lost because it became fixed in doctrine and strongly resistant to evolutionary -18-

change. Therefore, being confined to 2000 year old translations and interpretations of the Old Testament and the Teachings of Christ, it is impossible for them to holistically educate our Mothers and their Precious Children by giving them the tools that they require to discover their true nature, realize the purpose for which they were created, comprehend all things from their unique points of view, unfold all of their Divine Creative Power, and develop their Personal Cosmologies. The most important tool, which should have been developed by the Churches for Mothers and their Precious Children is THE LANGUAGE OF LIGHT which is created by marrying MASCULINE UNIVERSAL GEOMETRICAL MATHEMATICS to the FEMININE CREATIVE OCTAVE OF COSMIC MUSIC. It is a safe bet that not a single church in America, and perhaps nowhere else in the entire world, is able to effectively give this tool to their Mothers and Children, in a holistic manner. The time has come for this to change! The sad fact is that in spite of all of the advances in mathematics, science, and philosophy, churches world wide have not even partially developed the ability to serve the real physical, mental and spiritual needs of the people. This fact is substantiated in many ways. In America, Church Charlatans utilize tax exemption to exploit the people financially. Their great spiritual and intellectual impoverishment makes them incapable of serving the people spiritually; consequently, billions of dollars of church property lies virtually idle the vast majority of the time. All of this is going on while 16 million Precious American Children, who are profound representatives of God, are having their childhood destroyed by living, dying, and suffering in poverty! This is, by far, the greatest hypocrisy in history: while on Sundays, the preachers and their congregations are crying out how much they love, serve, and praise God, hundreds of millions of the world s children, who are the direct representatives of God, are being woefully and unimaginatively abused on a gigantic scale! This, however, is characteristic of the Dark Caterpillar Phase which is now coming to an end. The time has come for mankind to deal very seriously with the consequences of their ignorance as they face the imminent dawning of the Butterfly Phase. Since the churches, schools, and other relevant social institutions have totally -19-

failed in their duty to help parents realize that their children are the most perfect representatives of God and that to abuse them is to directly abuse God, and having a stable and loving home is the only environment in which Divine Children can be conceived and raised, it comes as no surprise to discover in 2011 that 70% of Black Babies were born to unmarried mothers and teens; this is more than twice the rate for White Babies and higher than that of any other racial or ethnic group! If the churches had been able to holistically educate the parents on how to properly conceive and develop their children, there would have never been unmarried mothers and teens! (See the appendix) Real Worship involves the relentless efforts of each and every person to fulfill the purpose for which they were created by exponentially expanding their planes of consciousness toward the highest possible level of GOD s Spiritual Awareness! It is only in this manner that they can fully understand, adore, and praise with the most profound AWE the indescribable Beauty, Wonder, and sublime Mystery of our gloriously Divine Cosmos who is the REPRESENTATIVE of the NAMELESS and BOUNDLESS COSMIC ESSENCE. DIVINE HOLISTIC EDUCATION FOR THE WORLD S CHILDREN THE DIVINITY OF THE CHILD A child is the repository of infinite possibilities. Enfolded in the human infant is the beautiful image of an imperishable and perfect being. In the baby s constitution we recognize the holy plans of divine goodness the immortal impartations of Divine Wisdom the image and likeness of the Supreme Spirit the possibilities of the greatest manhood, womanhood, or angelhood. The human mind is the most richly endowed. Its sphere in influence and action is the broadest. It is empowered to hold dominion over time, events, things, and circumstances. It draws its life unceasingly from the divine life of nature. It feeds on the phenomena of truth. It rises to the sphere of individuality and freedom. And it includes all the laws and conditions of growth, variety, genius, renewal, progress, and completeness. Man is the measure of all things, said Protagoras, one of the Greek sophists; -20-

and as men differ, there can be no absolute truth. Man is the measure of all things, replied Socrates, the true philosopher; but descend deeper into his personality, and you will find that underneath all varieties there is a ground of steady truth. Men differ, but men also agree: they differ as to what is fleeting; they agree as to what is eternal. Difference is the region of opinion; Agreement is the region of Truth: let us endeavor to penetrate that region. Andrew Jackson Davis A system of holistic education which is designed to meet the awesome requirements of giving the children of the world the tools that they require to develop their personal cosmologies and expand their planes of consciousness beyond the fourth level of Cosmic Spiritual Awareness, as illustrated in Figure(3), has been in development for at least seventy years. Our new OCTAVE THEORY OF EVERYTHING (OTE), which required over 60 years of our lives to bring to an effective level of development, is a TRUE UNIFIED THEORY OF EVERYTHING, from the unique point of view of our personal cosmology, that includes THE CONSCIOUSNESS OF ENERGY. It has brought us into ONENESS with ALL THINGS and enabled us to have the indescribable EUREKA experience of communicating directly with THE CONSCIOUSNESS OF THE SUN! This experience must ultimately be earned by each and every unique person for himself, or herself, and can never be directly transferred from one person to another just as UNDERSTANDING cannot be transferred. OTE not only unifies Electromagnetism and Gravity, it also unifies all Physical and Spiritual Science, encompasses all mathematical and non-mathematical philosophies, all religious traditions, customs, and practices. It is the THEORY OF ABSOLUTE ONENESS and explains the involutionary and evolutionary processes of the SOULMATE COSMOLOGICAL ACTION which Eternally Expands the SPIRITUAL AWARENESS OF THE NAMELESS AND BOUNDLESS COSMIC ESSENCE beyond HIS THOUGHT BOUNDARY AT INFINITY! Our new theory not only addresses the concerns of Dr. Eugene Wigner pertaining to an OVERVIEW of the COSMOS and mankind s place in it, it also makes it possible to truly answer all of the questions that young children ask, and which are not possible to answer so long as the human race is evolving through the -21-

Darkness of the Caterpillar Phase! According to the laws of the COSMOS which pertain to the spiritual development of Man, it is absolutely necessary for someone on earth to begin the process of developing an all-inclusive OCTAVE THEORY OF EVERYTHING utilizing all of the philosophy, mathematics, physical science, and spiritual science that mankind has accumulated through many lifetimes of experience in the agony and the ecstacy of life and devotion to the Love of Pure Learning, in order to qualify for the Gods to return to earth on December 21, 2012 as predicted by the calendar of the Maya. The priceless gifts of knowledge, wisdom, understanding and love must ultimately be earned by each and every person for themselves, even if it takes them an eternity to finally decide to do so! Since our children are born with all of the powers of the COSMOS potentially within them, all that is required is for mankind to develop the ability to teach them THE LANGUAGE OF LIGHT, which is a unification of MASCULINE GEOMETRICAL MATHEMATICS AND THE FEMININE CREATIVE OCTAVE OF COSMIC MUSIC, and give them the Holistic Education that they require to develop their personal cosmologies and release all of their Divine Potentials! Once this has been accomplished, THE CHILDREN WILL TAKE CARE OF THEMSELVES because they will be intimately AT ONE WITH THE CONSCIOUSNESS OF ENERGY and personally experiencing the indescribable JOY of communicating directly with our Glorious SUN while experiencing THE BLISS OF ONENESS with THE NAMELESS AND BOUNDLESS COSMIC ESSENCE! We, THE CHILDREN OF THE LAW OF ONE, and all of our wonderful colleagues around the world, who have contributed throughout the ages to the development of a complete and satisfactory system of Holistic Education for THE CHILDREN OF THE WORLD, stand ready to present our gift to humanity. However, it can only be effectively given to the people of earth if they greatly desire it and are willing to act in a timely manner. The cycle of mankind s spiritual development on earth is scheduled to be rejuvenated on December 21, 2012. It is greatly desired that a new system of holistic education be implemented which is founded upon all of the knowledge, wisdom, and understanding that has been achieved by the human race on earth since the Great Deluge terminated the Golden Age of Egypt (11,000BC - 9600BC) and suppressed the rise of new civilizations for nearly 3000 years. -22-

We are calling upon everybody to please take this seriously! The last great Civilization of Light occurred more than 17,000 years ago at the peak of the previous Butterfly Phase. It served as the model for the rise of the Golden Age of Egypt and it must again serve as the model for the new Cosmic Civilization of Light for the Butterfly Phase that is now dawning (See Appendix III). -23-

APPENDIX ( I ) THE SAD STATE OF BLACK CHILDREN IN AMERICA (2011) (www.childrensdefense.org) The economic crisis of the last three years has pushed Black children and youth deeper and deeper into an abyss of poverty, hunger, homelessness and despair. Black children and youth continue to face multiple risks from birth and throughout life that increase the danger of their becoming part of the Cradle to Prison Pipeline crisis that leads to dead-end lives. POVERTY Poverty destroys childhood and can destroy children. In 2009, 15.5 million children more than one in five were poor. Children experienced the steepest single year rise in poverty since 1959. Black children are three times as likely to be poor (35%) as White children (12%). Black children are more than three times as likely as White children to live in extreme poverty: half of the poverty level or less ($11,025 for a family of four). The four million Black children (more than one in three) living in poverty in 2009 represented an increase of over 150,000 since 2008 and almost half a million since 2000. Black children under five are the poorest group. Forty-two percent of them are poor compared to 14 percent of White children. These young Black children are more than three times as likely as White children to live in extreme poverty. Forty percent of Black children are born poor, compared to eight percent of White children. More than two-thirds of Black children born poor will be persistently poor for at least half of their childhoods. Black children are seven times more likely than White children to be persistently poor. FAMILY STRUCTURE AND INCOME Poverty can fray family bonds. Children are left without family support systems -24-

and often face daunting challenges. FAMILY STRUCTURE Nearly 60 percent of poor Black families with children have at least one working family member. Fewer than 40 percent of all Black children live with two parents, compared to about 75 percent of White children. Fifty percent of Black children live with only their mother. Black children are almost three times as likely to live with their mother only as are White children. Black children are more than twice as likely as other children to live with neither parent. About five percent of Black children live with grandparents and just over two percent live with other relatives. Black children are four times as likely as White children to be in foster care. Black children are seven times as likely as White children to have a parent in prison. BIRTHS TO UNMARRIED MOTHERS AND TEENS Over 70 percent of Black babies are born to unmarried mothers. This is more than twice the rate for White babies and higher than any other racial or ethnic group. Black babies are more than twice as likely as White babies to be born to a teen mother. INCOME Black families with children have median incomes almost half those of White families. In 2009 the median income for Black families with children was $33,915 and $61,775 for White families with children. The median income for a Black female-headed household with one or more -25-

children and without a husband present was $22,158, barely above the poverty level for a family of three. Almost half of Black female-headed households with children were poor. HEALTH Many of the health problems Black children face can be attributed to the effects of poverty. Poverty stacks the odds against children before birth and decreases their chance of being born healthy and at normal birth weight. Lack of prenatal care, low birth weight, poor health and being uninsured put young Black children at high risk of entering the Cradle to Prison Pipeline. Black Babies are Born at a Disadvantage. Black babies are more than twice as likely to die before their first birthday as White babies. The Black infant mortality rate in 2007 was about the same as the White infant mortality rate thirty years earlier. Infants born to Black mothers are almost twice as likely to be born at low birth weight as infants born to White mothers. A child born at low birthweight is more likely to have health, behavioral, and learning problems down the road. Black Children are More Likely to be Uninsured and in Poorer Health. Black children are 63 percent more likely than White children to be uninsured. One in eight Black children is uninsured, compared to 1 in 14 White children. Uninsured Black children are 75 percent more likely than uninsured White children to go without needed medical care because of cost. More than one in five Black children has asthma. When uncontrolled, asthma can affect a child s ability to learn, play, sleep and require hospital treatment or visits to the emergency department. Black teens are 26 percent more likely than White teens to be overweight or obese. More than one in three Black children and teens are overweight or obese. -26-

EARLY CHILDHOOD DEVELOPMENT AND SCHOOL READINESS Disparities in development and school readiness are very much evident in the early stages of children s development. Many of these disparities can be traced to low socioeconomic status which is highly connected to race and ethnicity and other demographic characteristics. Young Black children often score lower on measures of cognitive development and proficiency. They are at risk of being funneled into the prison pipeline early in life. BLACK CHILDREN FALL BEHIND EARLY ON At nine months, Black babies score lower on measures of cognitive development than White babies. At 24 months the gap in cognitive development has more than tripled between Black babies and White babies. At age four, Black children scored significantly behind White children in their proficiency in letter, number and shape recognition. Too Many Black Children Enter School Behind Black children are enrolled in pre-kindergarten programs at a higher rate than White children, but the programs often are of lower quality. On average, Black children arrive at kindergarten and/or first grade with lower levels of school readiness than White children. Black children spend more time on average watching television daily, are less likely to have regular mealtimes and have far fewer books than White children. EDUCATION Many schools contribute to the devastating Cradle to Prison Pipeline. The overrepresentation of poor and minority children in grade retention, out-of-school suspensions and special education have interacted with low teacher expectations to contribute to these children s discouragement, low self esteem and disengagement from school. Poor Black children experience the least qualified teachers, worst -27-

education facilities and fewest resources. Black children experience too few Black teachers in the classroom. Only eight percent of public school teachers today are Black and only two percent are Black males. RETENTION, SUSPENSION, EXPULSION AND CORPORAL PUNISHMENT Black children are two and a half times as likely as White children to be held back or retained in school. Although Black students comprised only 17 percent of students in public schools in 2006, they represented: 35.6 percent of all students who experienced corporal punishment. 37.4 percent of all students suspended. 37.9 percent of all students expelled. THE ACHIEVEMENT GAP Black children continue to fall further and further behind as they progress through school: In fourth grade 85 percent cannot read or do math at grade level. In eighth grade 87 percent cannot read at grade level and 88 percent cannot do math at grade level. In twelfth grade 84 percent of those Black students who have not dropped out of school cannot read at grade level and 94 percent cannot do math at grade level. Black students consistently score the lowest of any racial/ethnic student group on every section of both the SAT and the ACT college entrance exams. SPECIAL EDUCATION PLACEMENT A Black child is only half as likely as a White child to be placed in a gifted and -28-

talented class. A Black child is more than one and a half times as likely as a White child to be placed in a class for students with emotional disturbances. A Black child is twice as likely as a White child to be placed in a class for students with mental retardation. HIGH SCHOOL DROPOUTS Sixty percent of Black students graduate from high school on time compared to 80 percent of White students. Thirty-five percent of the nation s Black students in 2008 attended one of the 1,634 dropout factories, high schools where less than 60 percent of the freshman class graduate in four years; only eight percent of the nation s White students attended such schools. COLLEGE OR PRISON Black males age 18 and over in 2008 represented only five percent of the total college student population, but 36 percent of the total prison population. Thirty-two percent of Black young adults 18-24 are enrolled in institutions of higher education, compared to 44 percent of White young adults. JOB STATUS AND INCOME OF YOUNG ADULTS The recession has created an extremely difficult labor market for all youth, but Black youth face the harshest impact. Black college graduates compared to other college graduates, for example, have the highest unemployment rates and the largest share of education loan debt. These facts bode ill for Black wealth creation. EMPLOYMENT AND UNEMPLOYMENT Black youth have the highest unemployment rate: nearly one in three Black high school graduates age 16 to 24 are unemployed. Before the recession began one in five of these high school graduates was unemployed. -29-

Black youth age 16 to 24 face the worst employment rates. In November 2010, only 43 percent of recent Black high school graduates and 73 percent of Black college graduates were working. The unemployment rate for Black males (29.8%) ages 20 24 was almost twice as high as the unemployment rate for White males (15.7%). The 2008 Current Population Survey estimates that the employment rate among Black male dropouts (excluding those in jail or prison) is 40 percent, however this rate falls to 25 percent when inmates are included in the population count. -30-

APPENDIX II Then said a teacher, Speak to us of Teaching. And he said: No man can reveal to you aught but that which already lies half asleep in the dawning of your knowledge. The teacher who walks in the shadow of the temple, among his followers, gives not of his wisdom but rather of his faith and his lovingness. If he is indeed wise he does not bid you enter the house of his wisdom, but rather leads you to the threshold of your own mind. Kahlil Gibran The government of Singapore has taken the education of their people very seriously. Even though they have, so far, adopted only a small part of the overall system of holistic education that we and our colleagues are developing, the achievement of their students ranks at the top in the world. Capitalism, fixed ideology, and a lack of will to act decisively, has made it very difficult to implement their system of education in America. The following is a brief statement, in their own words, which pertains to their philosophy of education: -31-
