Understanding the Varieties of Greater Religious Beings
The straightforward fact is that whether or not you realize it or not… As bodily beings, we’re all surrounded by an unimaginable variety of Religious Beings current simply outdoors of our regular notion.
Most individuals aren’t conscious of the affect of religious beings who’re at all times connecting with us, guiding us, and influencing us (for higher or worse). And most of the people merely interpret the impulses and inventive inspirations coming from the religious realm as in the event that they’ve arisen from inside.
This occurs as a result of, for many who aren’t conscious of the refined realms of spirit, the influences of religious beings are obtained by the unconscious and never the aware thoughts… And so in consequence, usually what you assume is coming out of your thoughts, or your emotional being is definitely coming from exterior religious beings.
And right here’s the factor…
Whereas many people who find themselves involved with the upper religious realms have grown accustomed to easily trusting no matter religious beings present up for them…
Not all larger religious beings are benevolent or useful for you.
Discernment of Greater Religious Beings
Discernment is vital for changing into conscious of whether or not your ideas, emotions, and impulses to motion are arising from inside you, or in the event that they’re coming from exterior religious beings.
After which secondly, it’s so vital to have the ability to discern between spirits who’re contacting you…
So if you happen to do understand that you just’re receiving steerage from an exterior religious being… You may then discern as to the true nature of that larger religious being, and whether or not the steerage you are receiving is one thing you need to act on.
Study extra about discernment right here!
An additional layer of the problem relating to discerning amongst larger religious beings is that in trendy metaphysics the religious realms are often described as being all useful. Or when it’s acknowledged that there are lower than reliable beings, they’re often categorized utilizing a dualistic system… ie. Greater religious beings are both of the sunshine (useful), or of the darkish (dangerous).
This, nevertheless, is just not a whole and correct approach of understanding religious beings, and there are literally extremely advanced mild beings who could be detrimentally influential… The affect of lower than useful mild beings is talked about within the new age group a bit, and when it’s its’ known as “false mild”, however truthfully, it is probably not “false” mild both.
There are beings of actual larger mild who’re detrimental to attach with, not as a result of their mild is fake, however fairly as a result of it is unbalanced. The standard of sunshine of this group of sunshine beings I will describe extra shortly is ungrounded and distorted, and their steerage leads into an illusory expertise, and in direction of religious delusions.
And but, many individuals are appearing upon the steerage of those unbalanced mild beings with out realizing this vital distinction.
So actually, to know the important nature of religious beings it’s useful to categorise religious beings into 3 varieties of beings fairly than the overly simplified mild/ darkish dualistic classifications.
This threefold classification of upper religious beings comes from Rosicrucian teachings and particularly the work of Rudolph Steiner, a Twentieth-century thinker, scientist, and esotericist.
3 Varieties of Greater Religious Beings
Once more, regardless of being extra extremely advanced than people, not all larger religious beings are of the utmost help to humanity as we progress on our paths of self-realization. By first changing into conscious of this we are able to then be taught to discern amongst these beings and make the aware option to work with, hearken to and act upon the steerage from these beings who can actually help our journey. And in addition turn out to be conscious of the kind of beings standing behind sure lecturers, establishments, and teachings.
Let’s begin by trying on the beings of the center or middle path.
Beings of the Center Path
The upper religious beings of the middle or center path are those that maintain the right stability between Spirit and Matter and are due to this fact in a position to information beneficially humanity via superior and balanced religious improvement.
These are religious beings who’re most useful to work with as they will information you to remain centered and balanced as you progress in your path of religious awakening, aware enlargement, and self-realization.
These beings of the center path, that are typically known as Michaelic or Christic beings, completely maintain the stability between Spirit and Matter with out being pulled off stability to both excessive.
The beings inside the Angelic Hierarchy, the Christ Being, Buddha, Mom Mary, true Ascended Masters, and Archangel Michael are beings who exemplify this middle path, clearly exhibiting Divine qualities of the infinite God/ Supply inside their fractalized and individualized type. Beings of the center path are on monitor of their private ascension/ evolutionary course of, strolling the trail of the middle… And so they may also help you to remain on monitor by yourself middle path of awakening.
Once more, I am sharing this so you may start to be taught to discern whenever you’re connecting to religious beings in your day after day life, via teachings, and thru receiving steerage… And to then know whether or not the steerage comes from beings of the middle path, or if it is distorted in direction of being overly religious or overly materialistic.
The bottom line is to not say “okay… I will solely join with Archangel Michael for instance, after which I will be protected…” However fairly, acknowledge that you could develop the discernment to acknowledge when religious beings are influencing you as a result of once more, this occurs on a regular basis, and for probably the most half, beneath the floor of the aware waking thoughts.
The Christic beings of the center path are reliable guides who’re in a position to information and help us in advancing spiritually whereas staying grounded and balanced between extremes.
Extra on the way to develop this discernment to comply with… However now, let’s take a look at the subsequent kind of religious being… The beings of unbalanced mild, or spirituality.
Beings of Excessive/ Unbalanced Spirituality
Greater religious beings of unbalanced spirituality are recognized in Rosicrucian teachings because the Luciferic beings. Sure, these beings are named after the being Lucifer, whose identify means “Gentle Bearer”.. However don’t soar to any conclusions about what which means simply but…
Luciferic beings are extremely advanced mild beings who’re way more superior than people, however they lack understanding as to the worth and objective for religious beings to tackle a bodily incarnation on the Earth aircraft.
They’ve primarily fallen out of their regular evolutionary path as angelic beings… And in consequence, they’re ungrounded and unbalanced spiritually and so their teachings are additionally unbalanced, and ungrounded.
Many Luciferic beings do need to assist humanity, however they give the impression of being down on us with a kind of condescending pity- seeing humanity as younger naive spirits who incarnated into the bodily unnecessarily, solely to be opened to nice struggling for no actual purpose. They lack the notice of the unimaginable development and development potentialities accessible inside the bodily realm and so whereas not overtly malicious, and plenty of Luciferic beings need to assist and might share unimaginable presents of the sunshine…
The teachings and steerage of those unbalanced beings of the Gentle turn out to be distorted via their lens that solely the religious realities are actual or vital and that the bodily realms are merely an phantasm. Their mild and steerage has a approach of blinding and distorting these they work with, who can simply be delluded and led into ranges and ranges of phantasm.
Additionally, as a result of these beings don’t worth life within the bodily, or see the advantages within the classes the bodily realm gives, their steerage tends to guide individuals to keep away from the exhausting classes of bodily actuality (religious bypassing)… And so they might lead beings in direction of substances that weaken (primarily poison) the bodily physique to realize a religious expertise… Substances like opiates (ie. heroin, oxycontin), hashish, sure psychedelics like ayahuasca, in addition to psychotropics (ie. xanax, cocaine) as subtly and sometimes via steerage obtained on the unconscious degree promoted.
Luciferic beings even have a approach of boosting up the egos of religious seekers… They’ll share with you superb issues about how superior you’re, the way you’re a Grasp, and the way you’re particular… And thru this, they will have a approach of getting you to overestimate your current degree of religious improvement, which may have all kinds of ramifications, together with lacking out on development alternatives since you assume you are already there.
All of us are available in contact with most of these Unbalanced Gentle Beings… And in a approach, they pull us in direction of spirituality and freedom, but when we solely hearken to them, we are able to turn out to be very ungrounded and could be led astray.
Because of this discernment is so key, as is sustaining give attention to balanced bodily and religious mastery and humility, which adjustments our level of resonance and helps us to draw beings of the center path who can extra precisely information and help us.
Beings of Excessive/ Unbalanced Materialism
On the opposite aspect of the polarity coin, there exist larger religious beings who’re unbalanced in direction of the fabric. These beings are recognized in Rosicrucian teachings because the Ahrimanic beings.
Ahrimanic beings are a lot older and extra superior than people, lots of them had been truly concerned within the creation and crystallization of the bodily world…
However they too have fallen off beam and out of their regular evolutionary course of as a result of their excessive give attention to matter and the bodily planes of density.
These beings haven’t any purpose/ permission to incarnate into the bodily realm, they’ve advanced past the necessity for bodily incarnation, and but they’ve an awesome love for the bodily and thru their steerage and affect they pull people in direction of materialism and atheism.
Their teachings revolve round how Spirit is phantasm and Matter, and what could be measured within the bodily is the one actuality… And so they pull humanity away from spirituality in direction of the fabric.
When sure people influenced by Ahrimanic beings ignore the steerage main them away from Spirit, the Ahrimanic beings have a tendency to vary their tone, and begin guiding people in direction of occult materialism and low types of magic that gasoline the decrease want nature via manipulating others…
They train larger religious ideas in a decrease distorted and materialistic type so their college students might be taught to govern others utilizing “grey or black magic”, via manifesting cash to realize energy over others and fulfill private want irrespective of the fee to others or to the planet. They exemplify the service to self-path.
Their steerage could be detrimental in some ways… And but with out them, the bodily world wouldn’t have been created.
The polarity created by the Ahrimanic and Luciferic beings is required for us to have the total Earthly expertise, to decide on freedom, and to have the numerous alternatives for bodily and religious development accessible to us.
Polarity is a requirement for development and development and for this we’re in a position to have gratitude for all of the beings, and appreciation for the trail of selection and freedom their presence opens us as much as, and in a way the sacrifice they’ve made falling off the trail… So we could be reminded to remain on it and to develop.
Apparently, the identify “Ahrimanic” comes from the Zoroastrian custom the place “Ahriman” was believed to be the darkish lord of the Earth… In Gnostic teachings, this being is named the Demiurge, and for Egyptians, this darkish being was known as Set… Which when filtered from Egypt into Hebrew traditions grew to become “Ha’Devil”… And now’s generally known as Devil in trendy non secular teachings.
Fairly curiously trendy religions have combined up these two varieties of spiritually detrimental beings into one being which is named both Lucifer or Devil. You’ll now know that hidden on this educating is the deeper fact of the overly religious and overly material-spiritual beings who can pull us off our middle.
Fast Recap of the three Varieties of Beings
So simply to recap and make clear right here…
Luciferic beings are the Gentle beings of Unbalanced Spirituality who deliver nice mild and even super presents… However their mild is ungrounded and rapidly turns into illusory.
Ahrimanic beings affect us to lose or ignore spirituality or draw individuals into low-level black or grey magic that feeds the decrease want nature and distorts larger teachings and religious ideas.
FYI – black magic is just whenever you use religious ideas to manifest one thing that’s in your profit at no matter price to others. Manifesting that isn’t within the highest curiosity of all… It’s totally generally taught and utilized in our world immediately beneath the affect of Ahrimanic beings working beneath the floor.
Balanced Religious and Materials
There are references to this threefold path hidden all through faith… The Kabbalistic Tree of Life exhibits that on the center path, we are able to attain larger up, and floor absolutely to the Earth in comparison with the overly religious (left) or overly bodily (proper) paths.
The teachings about Jesus on the Cross additionally tackle further symbolic that means with this understanding. The thief on the left (representing Luciferic beings) and the thief on the proper (representing Ahrimanic beings).
The bottom line is to discern who we’re connecting with so we are able to keep centered ourselves on the center path, of balanced religious development and mastery of each the Religious and Bodily realities.
The way to Entice Beings of the Center Path
I need to emphasize right here that all through our life expertise, everybody naturally encounters each beings who’re unbalanced spirituality, and beings who’re unbalanced bodily…
Because of this discernment is so vital. These beings can affect us, however finally as People who’re spirits of Love and Freedom, we’ve the Free Will to make our personal selections and discern the way to act, and who to hearken to.
And as with all issues, resonance is vital to who and what we appeal to into our expertise.
In different phrases, the standard of power we’re producing and sending out determines what sort of beings we appeal to.
Working to keep balanced and centered ourselves, and to make clear our pondering, feeling, and keen empowers us to draw the beings of the center path and of the very best Christed Gentle.
I hope this has been useful for you. For extra on this subject, I really feel the clearest teachings come from the work of Rudolph Steiner, and particularly his e book on Occult (Esoteric) Science. Robert Gilbert has additionally clearly taught about this in his Important Teachings and Practices of Religious Science course.
With love, mild and shiny blessings,
