PAUL: I would like some help in getting perspective on this.
.
RAJ: Thank you, Paul. I will endeavor to clarify things for you.
.
First of all, the manner in which I became your Guide was absolutely normal. The fact that I am a Master was pure happenstance, and simply means that I am further along in my own development than a Guide would be. The fact that my work involves the reappearing of the Christ and the Masters is of no consequence to you. it is simply information which I have shared with you about my activities, and that is all.
.
Remember, Paul, you were not "picked" for this experience of communicating with a Guide, whether a Master or not. Now happens to be the time when you opened yourself up and requested that your Guide contact you. I cannot help it that you picked a time to do this which coincides with a worldwide event of some import. That is pure coincidence.
.
However, because it is going to occur, you are going to have to deal with it in order to maintain your equilibrium and remain clear as to your own inner unfolding of your Being. And so, we are discussing it. If there were some other major world event which would involve you in any way, we would be discussing that.
.
Let me state that primarily I am working with you because you have requested a Guide to work with you. I am "it" as far as you are concerned at this time. First and last, I am working with you on your behalf, and that is all there is to it.
.
PAUL: Thank you Raj. In this afternoon's conversation, you indicated that we are within days of the Second Appearing. Since then, I have found that Mr. Crème did not say that the reappearing would occur during the month of March, but rather in late spring. I am not here to quibble over your statement as opposed to his statement, although I am curious.
.
RAJ: Paul, it is good to get the air cleared. The simple fact is that Mr. Crème is wrong, and I will say nothing more than that. You will simply have to watch and see.
.
PAUL: When you said that we were within days of the Second Appearing, were you referring to the announcement of Maitreya of His presence and His purpose?
.
RAJ: No. I was not.
PAUL: Then I am confused. Are you playing word games with me?
RAJ: I most definitely am not, Paul.
PAUL: Then in what respect is Mr. Crème wrong?
[Nothing perceived]
RAJ: Paul, there is, indeed, need for clarification here. Let go here, and just be open. Do not try to grasp ahead of time what I might be going to say.
.
PAUL: All right.
.
RAJ: The star heralding the birth of Jesus rose over a state of unenlightened thought, leading that thought to the place where the Christ Child lay in human experience. Conceptually speaking, you can see that it was not possible for the people of that time or land to perceive the dawning within their consciousness of the existence of the Christ-consciousness in any other than the smallest way--something brand new, but something small. And the appearing of the Christ-consciousness took a very literal form for them. They could not conceive that it was themselves, so it had to be someone else, somone else new and small. And so, the baby, Jesus was a very literal manifestation of the only way in which they could conceive of the appearance of the Christ in their world.
.
In the present day, the awareness of the Christ-consciousness is no longer new. indeed, there is a large part of the population--Christian, Buddhist, Hindu, et cetera--who are quite at the point of recognizing that the Christ-consciousness resides within them. And this is where it will come to pass that the reappearing of the Christ will occur.
.
Stop trying to figure it out, Paul.
.
It is obvious that the literal manifestation of the level of development of mankind today would not be conceptualized as a brand new baby. Instead, it would be an adult facilitator of that inner Self-discovery which will actually constitute the reappearance of the Christ.
.
You must realize that the majority of mankind is not at this conscious point of Self-realization. they are, nevertheless, at the point of recognizing their Divinity. it is for this reason that an adult will appear. This adult will meet the requirements that will allow them to pay attention and give credence to the appearance.
.
You must realize that there are all states and stages of individual inner development represented by mankind as a whole. All will see their Christhood according to whatever level of enlightenment of belief, the graduation of mankind will occur.
.
The degree of enlightenment/belief each one is at will govern the degree to which Maitreya will have followers or co-workers. Those who are enlightened will continue to pursue their own inner, unfolding Self-discovery. As that growth takes place, they will become co-facilitators in one form or another, working shoulder to shoulder with Maitreya. They will not be blinded by what He is, because they will recognize that He is what They Are, and that They are what He is to some degree.
.
Mr. Crème is incorrect about the time of the reappearing, in that the reappearing has been going on for some time. It will continue far past the time when Maitreya announces His presence.
.
I know you must go to dinner now. We will continue as soon as you return.
.
PAUL: Thank you Raj. [dinner break taken. During the dinner break, Susan and I read and discussed parts of both Mr. Crème's book and the Treastice on Cosmic Fire.]
.
RAJ: Paul, Iknow that since you have gone to dinner, you have frustrated yourself to an even higher degree than when you left. I know that you are arriving at a place where you couldn't care less whether Maitreya returned or not. Correct?
.
PAUL: Absolutely correct.
.
RAJ: The conclusion that you are coming to is correct: The only appearance of the christ that is worth a hill of beans for you is that dawning in your own experience of your own perception of Reality. It comes as the result of being the Door. It literally doesn't mater one way or the other whether Maitreya returns or not. On this point you are absolutely correct.
.
Paul, you are the one who was interested in the idea of Maitreya returning and what impact the return might have on your life. You were interested in finding out whether or not you might have some part to play in that return--with all the implications of position, prestige, and power.
.
The fact is that very often the quickest way to show a person that he doesn't want what he says or thinks he wants, is to give him what he wants. And so, I have played along with you until you are sick and tired of what it would mean for you to constantly have to relate to someone "out there" -- whether his name is Maitreya or not.
.
Paul, let the world have its own development in whatever way it most clearly can experience its growth. remember that this world that is experiencing its growth--in the apparent drama of the reappearance of the christ and the Masters of Wisdom--is the infinitude of your Self. One way or another, you are going to have to come to terms with that fact without selling your Self short.
.
There are groups of people actively participating in attempting to pave the way for His return, but this is not where you are. This is not your point of unfoldment. To whatever degree you think they may be doing something more correct than what you are doing, to that degree you are disintegrating your experience of your Self as the One that constitutes the Many. If you try to make comparisons or cross-references to attempt to validate or invalidate what is going on with you, you will lose your awareness of your cohesivness.
.
Your gut-level feeling of frustration and anger is just a small taste of the suffering that will be in store for you, if you attempt to move back into a three-dimensional frame of reference.
.
It doesn't matter what day the announcement of Maitreya's return is made on. it doesn't matter by what means, or for what purpose, you and Susan are receiving an influx of inspiration and enlightenment--whether you're awake, asleep, in meditation, or flying a kite. The fact is that no matter what is going on anywhere else in the world, you are experiencing the inexorable unfolding of your Being as Conscious Being. you might as well accept it.
