On Maitreya, Mesmerism and Astrology

On Maitreya, Mesmerism and Astrology

I was recently reminded of how important it is for students of the ascended masters to be aware of their astrology and their psychology, after reading a 1985 Pearl of Wisdom by Lord Maitreya entitled Teachings from the Mystery School, Astrology for Twin Flames and an excerpt from Annice Booth’s book, Secrets of Prosperity.

Such information is timely for many reasons, among them, the incredible acceleration of the return of karma—both “good” and “bad”—that many people seem to be experiencing around the world.   It is impossible to not be concerned about one’s self and family and friends and one’s nation and the planet these days.  I live about 15 minutes away from the Oregon District where the mass shooting took place in Dayton a few weeks ago, and, I can tell you that the impact of such a horrific event has not been insignificant.  Everyone I know either knows someone who was in the area during the shooting, who works at the bar or lives in the area, or, worse, people who had to walk over the bodies to get out of the bar after it was over.  There has been an incredible pall over the city ever since, almost physical in nature. People are wondering what is going on with all the violence these days; people are trying to process it all as they go about their daily lives.

I have friends who are dealing with extremely difficult health conditions—their own or a family member’s—and quite a few who are trying to figure out how to disentangle themselves from toxic relationships with other people and from groups and organizations to which they have been tied for a long time.  Several friends have discussed how they are “done” with the Catholic church due to their disgust with the continued exposure of abuse by members of church hierarchy for decades.  Others are in the process of disentangling from organizations that they believe have been involved in unethical business practices for years.

Family Mesmerism

But, betrayal by hierarchies is just one example of the challenges people are facing.  Consider family mesmerism, as explained in Paths of Light and Darkness, (eBook page 134-135), (you can replace “family” with “organization” or “group”) and you get an idea of just how big the problem of disentangling oneself from unhealthy, toxic or unlawful relationships can be:

 “Family mesmerism is one manifestation of animal magnetism; it involves the exertion of unwholesome control of one individual over another in the name of family ties.  This name is often given to hypnotic ties whereby we allow ourselves to be open to energy of negativity coming from members of our families.  We are open to them because we love them and because we have mutual responsibilities. 

The key to dealing with this energy is to maintain a very strong heart tie through the Christ Self to one’s family members.  You are in control of this tie and through it you can give a great deal of love to them.  However, if you allow yourself to be tied at untransmuted levels of your being—the solar plexus, the emotional level, the astral body—and if you have a great deal of sympathy for family members, you do open your chakras to them and open your beings to them, and they have access to you and to your Light and energy at will.

Sentimentality and nostalgia are forms of sympathetic animal magnetism.  Jesus’ statement, ‘Whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother,’ should be remembered when choosing companions or breaking spiritually unprofitable ties.”

So, how would a student of the ascended masters know how or where to begin to disentangle from such difficult situations and head any others off at the pass?  Two possibilities come to mind:  work on the resolution of one’s psychology (which can be part of the reason for such karmic entanglements) and become aware of your astrology for the next 18 months (as recommended by Elizabeth Clare Prophet in one of the Darshans with the Messenger). 

Kuthumi’s Dispensation to Help Us with Our Psychology

Mrs. Booth addresses both astrology and psychology in her book, Secrets of Prosperity, along with Kuthumi’s dispensation:

     “Maitreya says we can cut through the whole coil [of negative habits].  We don’t have to unwind it level by level.  But we need to realize that we are dealing with momentum.  Where you know you have negative momentums in your life and negative momentums or pessimism in your astrology, that is the point to direct light.

    Say with the master Kuthumi, ‘I AM light, glowing light, radiating light, intensified light.  God consumes my darkness, transmuting it into light.’  When you say, ‘I AM light,’ visualize that light directed into your subconscious and unconscious mind, where these momentums lay that may not have been challenged for thousands of years.  Direct piercing light rays into this negative coil that has been wrapped around your being.” (eBook, page 105)

Mrs. Booth continues on, giving the complete prayer by Kuthumi, which can be given as a novena, 9 times for 9 days for help in specific situations.

Maitreya on Astrology

   In Lord Maitreya’s 1985 dictation, Teachings from the Mystery School, Astrology for Twin Flames, he tells his “students worldwide” about the importance of being aware of one’s astrology and transits and, specifically, how to place the ascended masters’ causal bodies over potentially problematic configurations:

“Remember, beloved ones, that until thy karma is ultimately and fully balanced, false astrology and the emanations of the lower spheres of the planets will have their effect upon you unless you insulate yourself by invoking your tube of light and calling to Archangel Michael to cut you free—unless you give your violet flame decrees and challenge the astral forces that enter your worlds through those negative astrological predictions.

 And therefore, you should always replace them by the call to the Masters to place their presence and their causal body on your chart and to seal off and bar from your life the astrological signs of those projected negative influences that are actually the harbingers of your returning negative karma.

Karma comes to your doorstep daily by the world’s astrology, the false astrology—false in the sense, therefore, that the Cosmic Christ teaches that you need not reap this karma but you may instead transmute it by the violet flame before it arrives at thy doorstep to the detriment of thy true life plan, deterring the true divine astrology of thy causal body from registering its great positive good in thy life, thereby causing all manner of problems.

If you invoke the tube of light and give your violet flame decrees without composing for yourself the dynamic decree whereby you challenge these momentums, you may find yourself free of the karma but burdened by the momentum of the astrology itself, even as human habit patterns endure beyond the karma which was causative in their being made in the first place.

 Thus, two actions must be taken: first you must challenge in the name of your Mighty I AM Presence the levels of your personal karma as these affect your life and then you must challenge—naming the positions and the degrees—the self-limiting matrix in the astrology of your natal and progressed chart and solar return which can be calculated.

Realize that the challenging of those momentums in the name of your Mighty I AM Presence is the key to the overcoming of trial and temptation. However, these charts that are calculated according to the worldly astrology must be done only by those astrologers who have the mind of Christ and who are not caught up in the worldly sense of believing in the influence and ultimate power of astrology over the lifestream.”
