From the Introduction:
Overview: Cosmic
Perspective
Where
does one begin to define the Ishaya tradition?
The Ishayas are an ancient Order of
monks, one which claims to stem directly from the Apostle John, following
the direct orders of Christ to preserve his teachings until the third
millennium. They hold that the original teachings of Jesus were not a
belief system at all, but rather a mechanical series of techniques to
transform human life into a constant perception and knowing of the
perfection of divinity within every human heart.
What is the source or goal of human life?
The mind in the waking state is filled with opposing thoughts. Is the
perfection of life to be found after death? Is Heaven a far-off state, one
to be attained by living a "good" life, or is it something that
is at hand -- a reality that can be attained here and now, an Ascended
reality that is possible to be achieved in the present?
Is it possible to live an ideal, Heavenly
life in this world? Is it possible to live every moment in an
upward-directed, Ascending mode, in which every thought, word and deed is
filled with bliss and love and life? Can individual life become ideal? Can
it be completely healed of the pain of past loss and faulty belief?
Logically, it is impossible to heal
individual life if the world is not healed. No one is isolated from the
rest of humanity; all are woven together in a tapestry of energy and
synergy in which the lives and actions of one reflect in all others. If
one person suffers, all suffer -- at least to some extent. Recognizing
this, the ancients formulated a lofty ideal, perhaps best expressed as the
Boddhisattva pledge in Buddhism -- "I will not leave this world until
all are enlightened." Such commitment is enshrined in these words.
Such love. But are they practical?
Is it even possible to heal the Earth? If
everyone in the entire world must be healed for our individual lives to be
ideal, how could it ever happen? Is this not clearly an impossible task
for any one being to accomplish? And yet if we desire the impossible, do
we desire alone? Many of our greatest throughout history have spoken of a
New World, a coming time in which all the problems of life have been
solved or Ascended, in which all of humanity unites in seeking the highest
and best for everyone. Lofty visions? Surely, but are they also practical?
Can they be attained? Or were our spiritual leaders and visionaries
speaking only to inspire us to be better?
Do we any longer have a choice? Perhaps
it seemed that we did before our modern times, perhaps in previous ages we
could delegate some few of us to focus on healing everyone through
religion or mysticism or science, but no longer. Even a cursory look at
the state of the world leads to the inescapable conclusion that we no
longer have a choice. Heal the world we must, else it and we fail to
survive. We as a species have created an imbalance on Earth that could in
the space of a few days or hours result in the end of our race or the end
of our world or both. Is there hope for us? Do we have allies in this
healing process? Do the Laws of Nature favor our healing or our
elimination? Let’s look at the nature of the world and see if there is
any hope.
The world is always changing. The
Universe is in a constant state of flux. It may have periods of greater or
lesser stability, or areas where change seems slight or rare, but these
are only temporary realities. The mightiest mountains are worn down to
foothills; the oceans rise up and turn into dry land; even the continents
slip around on the Earth’s molten core like ice on a hot tin stove. One
day the Sun itself will die; eventually this galaxy will be extinct,
filled with the hollow memories of burned out stars.
The dinosaurs ruled the Earth for a great
many more million years than the present human race is supposed to have
existed, but where are they now? Life is change.
Our world is changing, and ever more
rapidly. There are those who take this as evidence that this is not an
ideal world, it was not created by perfection or it is not maintained in
perfection. This conclusion seems rock solid. But is it? Is this not
saying that there is a part of space or time where the Infinite Perfection
of the Ascendant is not found? If that is so, then the Infinite is not
Omnipresent, or is opposed by a nearly Omnipotent destructive power that
seeks to undermine the intent of Infinity. Or perhaps it is all truly
random, there is no underlying order; all thought of Ascendant harmony is
a myth, created by hopeful people with little common sense.
This kind of thinking denies both logic
and experience, as will become clear as we proceed with this short text.
There is another way to view this world; there is another way to view all
of life.
Change appears to be either
constructive or destructive. There seem to be two great natural
forces at work in our Universe -- evolution and devolution. But on closer
examination, every motion of devolution is not without purpose, for it
opens the pathway for more and greater evolution. It is only when the bud
is destroyed that the flower can emerge. It is only when the child dies
that the adult is born.
The combined working of these two
infinitely opposed forces is all-powerful in the relative cosmos, and is
certainly brilliantly wise. Some have considered it mindless, but even a
cursory look at the magnificent complexity of any aspect of our Universe
makes such a conclusion seem extremely naive. A thousand billion galaxies
each with an average of two hundred billion stars? Fifty trillion cells in
every human body all working together in perfect harmony? Such wisdom
there is in Nature, such brilliance. Natural laws certainly seem
all-powerful and all-knowing from our human perspective, do they not?
So, if there are Omnipotent and
Omniscient forces at work in our Universe, why do they so often handle our
lives in such a destructive manner? Aren’t we often crushed by
oppressive weights beyond our ability to control? Which of us has not from
time to time thought our lives are about as important to the higher powers
of Nature as are the insects on our windshields? The universal forces don’t
seem to have much regard for the little human lives on our planet, do
they?
Appearance is a wonderful magician, an
extraordinary deceiver, capable of convincing our hearts and minds of the
strangest lies. How often do we choose our clothes, houses, jobs by the
most superficial standards? And our friends and mates as well. Is this
bad? Not necessarily. Compromising integrity doesn’t make a whole lot of
difference if there is no absolute standard. If we have never seen the
Sun, choosing between which star we wish to guide us is not so important.
This doesn’t mean we might not believe it important and fight with all
our might to defend the supremacy of our individually chosen star. We
might go to war defending the importance of Sirius, the brightest; we
might say that any who refuse to follow the sure council of Polaris, the
steadiest, are doomed to hell and Infinite torture; we might create entire
philosophies on the wondrous counsel offered by the most glorious
constellation, Orion -- but what happens to our beliefs and philosophies
based on starlight when the Sun rises?
The point is that if we attempt to apply
the standards of sensual perception in an attempt to understand our
position and role in the Universe, we will necessarily fall far short of
learning anything of much importance. How to align our understanding with
the Cosmic and Universal Forces instead of with the gross material world
reported to us by our senses is the whole purpose of inner growth.
Cosmic Intelligence is one name for that
Force which pushes our individual lives and our world toward perfection.
It is the Source of the harmony between the opposing natural laws that
causes all of life to progress, in spite of the appearances on the
surface. According to the Ishayas, our only responsibility here on Earth
is to make sure that we are not working against Cosmic Intelligence,
either consciously or unconsciously.
Evolution on Earth is accelerating at an
ever-increasing rate. The vibratory rate of our world is changing upward
so quickly now that there is a real danger large numbers will fail to make
this transition. It is our obligation to do whatever we can to enable as
many as possible to negotiate this global shift in awareness successfully.
This should not be considered a burden; it is a joyous movement upward
into the light; every step forward on this path is not only great good
fortune for every individual but a large upsurge in life for the world’s
billions.
We have a little time left, a decade or
two for most of us, before this transition will be complete. It is time
for all the co-workers for peace, all those who wish to be or already are
enlightened, all those who possess goodwill for humanity, all leaders
everywhere to drop their surface and petty differences and unite with one
voice of understanding and praise for the Source of all that is. The
simple guiding principle here is this: if we are sowing division,
preaching destruction, seeking or finding evil in the world (even if we
are looking for it with the intention of removing it!), then we are part
of the problem, not the cure.
It may seem possible for a short time
longer to oppose the great transformation that is rapidly building in this
world. But this is appearance merely. And even that appearance is
necessarily going to change. Those who desire to oppose Cosmic
Intelligence will soon -- very soon -- be no longer found on this Earth.
Everyone will either consciously or unconsciously act in perfect harmony
with Universal Mind. Those who would oppose it will either change or
simply cease to be here. That is our future. And the good news is that
anyone’s inner realization helps change the destiny of everyone else.
Some of us have already remembered that
we are multi dimensional beings. We, living on the Earth, are opened to
Universal Mind. The Voice of the Universe speaks through us. Desire to
serve our fellow wanderers is the natural by-product of our enlightenment:
our perennial task is to help everyone discover Universal Mind within. But
words are limited, finite tools; our proper subject is the Unlimited, the
Infinite, a subject that lies forever far beyond the ability of language
to describe or communicate. Writing or reading or listening to lectures
does not expand consciousness; this happens only through direct, personal
experience. Hence, is this book short. But the invitation is long.
Security, peace, happiness, health and
love await those who learn the Ishayas’ Ascension techniques. You may
already have recognized in your heart that this offer is for you. But it
may take some more time, or perhaps some further exchange of energy or
knowledge between us, before your conscious mind understands your heart’s
choice. This little book is for you; it is designed to help your rational
mind learn what your heart already knows full well. Take what you will
from this storehouse, drink as deeply as you care from the wellsprings
here, and then if we are not to meet again, go your own way with the
blessings of this knowledge upon your heart.
The urgency of action now to fulfill our
collective destiny is the theme of this work. The world must rise to a
state of all-time peace and soon, else many suffer and die needlessly.
Answered within this text are many of the fundamental mysteries of life;
this is true for any willing to examine this book with an open mind and an
innocent heart. As these awaken to the innermost Reality of their
wonderful, exalted souls, the trends of life for all beings on the Earth
will be irrevocably changed.
This is a precious knowledge, a priceless
gift to share with the world.
We are attempting to communicate with you
for a specific purpose. There are many who entered here when we did to be
with us; if you are among their number, now is the time to come forward
and begin to move together with us to our common goal for the good of all.
Take the time to seek out the Ishayas and
learn for yourself these mechanical techniques to transform life. Belief
is not required -- all that is necessary is that you have an open mind and
heart and are willing to give these techniques a chance. If you do this
simple thing, I promise you: your life will unfold and blossom in ways you
never dreamed possible. There will remain no compromise in you, no living
a half or partial life, only the freedom of expanding love and joy in the
perfection of fully enlightened consciousness.
