The Great Initiation

In previous instalments we have explored in detail the event which the Old Testament prophets called “The Great and Terrible Day of the Lord”. We have seen WHAT will happen, WHY it will happen, WHERE it will happen and WHEN it will happen. Just one question remains.

That question is, if earth is facing a cosmic catastrophe in the near future as a result of “fire and brimstone” falling from the sky, then what can or should we do about it?

In answer, the following extract is taken from the conclusion of The Last Days of Tolemac, where the Oracle of Tolemac responds to questions relating to the events that are predicted to unfold in the last days of this current epoch of humanity.

Modern man prides himself on his great intelligence. Of all the species that have ever lived upon the earth he believes he is the most intelligent. He also believes that modern civilization is the highest form of culture that has ever existed on the planet.

In terms of understanding the world and the heavens of which it is a part, he believes that modern scientific knowledge is more advanced than anything that has been known in any other age. He believes that the technological marvels of today are better than those developed by any other culture in the past.

Yet for all his vast knowledge of science and his ability to create technical wonders, modern man remains a mystery to himself. He does not know who he really is or what he can become. He remains but a child in the Great School of Life. He does not yet know the true purpose of his life or the glorious future that awaits him.

Q:  What is the purpose of life?

A:  Man is born on the earth to learn his true identity. All the varied experiences of life are designed so that man may finally come to know who he really is. Over the entrance to the ancient Greek Temple of Apollo in Delphi, two words were inscribed in letters of gold. These words were “Know Thyself”.

What is the purpose of this schoolroom of life? What is the meaning of all the loves, the joys, the sorrows, misery and death? The lesson to be learned in life is that the soul should come to experience itself as it really is. It should finally come to know the true nature of the “I Am” that lives in the heart of every soul.

Modern man believes that he is a frail creature confined to a physical body that is limited in time and space. He does not know that his basic nature is divine, and that within his apparent limited body lie powers beyond his imagination. Within the nature of man lie all the mysteries of the universe. And those who come to know themselves discover the secrets to these mysteries and the power to control the universe.

In the evolutionary path of life, the soul of every person progresses through many forms over many lifetimes. This evolutionary path is the Path of Returning. It is the path of progress towards Everlasting Light. It is the path that every person must travel. It is the destiny of every person now living on the earth that they will one day reach the glory of this Everlasting Light.

This personal journey of discovery is a journey which had its beginning in the hoary mists of ages past. It is a journey that will not end for many ages to come. But along this Path of Returning there are certain times when a great evolutionary opportunity occurs. The present time on earth is one of these opportunities.

Q:  What is this opportunity?

A:  It is the opportunity to grow in consciousness to a new level of being. Just as a caterpillar emerges from its chrysalis in the form of a butterfly, and is able to soar to heights undreamed of when it was a caterpillar, so humanity today has the opportunity to inherit a new body that will free them from the limitations of the past.

But although this same opportunity is offered to every person now living on the earth, not every person is ready to graduate to this new level of being. Not everybody has reached the same point in their evolutionary growth. Progress in life is similar to the different grades that characterize your schools on earth.

In your graduated system of teaching pupils begin their schooling in the lowest grade. These children progress by learning the lessons associated with each grade. Once they have mastered the lessons of their existing grade they are allowed to move on to the next grade. Finally there comes a day when their schooling ends. They graduate and are free to enter into the great world beyond. As it is in school so it is in life.

The earth is approaching its day of graduation. The day is dawning when every person on the earth will be tested in the Great School of Life. They will undergo the Great Initiation. Those who pass these tests of initiation will experience a new beginning and a new life that will be more glorious than anything they can imagine. It will be a life of freedom and unrestricted joy.

But not everyone is ready to accept this opportunity to move into a higher dimension. There are many with little experience of life who are still in the lower grades. They still have much to learn. Others are content with the level they are at. But because everyone is free to choose the pace at which they wish to grow, nobody is forced to progress to these higher levels of life. Yet those who miss out on this chance to graduate now will pay a heavy price.

Q:  What price will they have to pay?

A:  Those who fail this initiation will have to start again. They will have to go back to the beginning. Their soul progression will be set back by millions of years in time. Once again they will have to go back to the stage of living in caves. It will take many thousands of lifetimes before they once again reach the end of another Grand Cycle of life.

But although this may seem like retrogression from a physical point of view, it will provide the soul with more time to grow and learn the lessons of life. From the point of view of spiritual evolution the soul will continue to progress until it will once again have the chance to accept the new. If it fails again, it will once again have to go back to the beginning.

If only modern man understood the opportunity that now confronts him. If he only knew how great a chance this is in the development of his soul. If he only knew how long he would be detained if he fails. If he only knew how much suffering he would have to endure to reach this point again, he would immediately change his ways and all of earth’s problems would be solved. But modern man is stubborn in his ways. He is not yet willing to change.

Q:  Why is he unwilling to change?

A:  He does not want to change because he is satisfied with his present way of life. He would rather pursue comfort and pleasure than face the challenge of transformation. By ignoring all the signs that point to the coming changes on the earth, he hopes that they can be avoided. But he fails to see that it his present way of life that is leading to disaster.

It has always been this way at the end of every Grand Cycle of time.This was the way it was in the days of Noah before the great flood. This was the way it was in the last days of Tolemac. This is the way that Jesus predicted it would be in the days leading up to his return.

“But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.”   (Matthew 24: 37-39)

There will be many who will not listen to the warnings of Jesus and of the prophets. They will be the ones who will take the broad way of life that leads to destruction. But there will be others who will listen. It is for them that these words are written.

Q:  Why is it necessary to undergo all these disasters?

A:  It is not necessary to undergo all these disasters. If your societies had followed the teachings of the wise men and women of the past your world would not be in the state it is today and the earth would not have to undergo these catastrophic changes.

If that had happened then the changes that would take place as the earth moved into the higher energies of the Age of Aquarius would have been harmonious and beautiful. There would have been no need for these disasters. It is man’s own thinking that is the cause of the consequences that must now unfold on your planet.

It is his selfishness, his greed and his callous disregard for the welfare of those who share the world with him that are the causes of these catastrophes. For century after century humanity has suffered because of man’s inhumanity to man. But this will at last come to an end.

The chaos and disaster that will soon occur on the earth is tragic. But it would be worse if this suffering were to be allowed to continue. The catastrophes that are to come are not the result of divine revenge for the evils that have taken place on earth. They are the consequences of past actions and the present way of life.

Catastrophe comes so that man may experience the consequences of his thoughts and his actions. They come so that he might learn from these experiences. If these consequences seem harsh it is because the actions that are the causes of these catastrophes have been equally harsh. But out of this harshness will come great beauty and good.

For out of these catastrophes humanity will emerge chastened and purified. The humanity that will inherit the new heaven and the new earth will arise in glory from the ashes of the past. The new earth will be free at last to fulfill its divine potential and its people will be supreme examples of that purpose.

Q:  What other changes will take place on earth?

A:  The entire surface of the earth will be changed. The shapes of the continents themselves will change. Some land masses will sink below the seas. Others will rise from the deep. The earth will be totally transformed when the seas rage and the mountains again “skip like young lambs” .

Q:  Why must these changes take place?

A:  To understand why these changes must take place and why certain lands will be affected more than others, it is necessary to remember what “karmic cleansing” means and why it happens.

When thoughts of negativity lead to acts of violence and death, these negative vibrations become linked with those places where these violent acts occurred. In the higher dimensions of life this negativity becomes imprinted on these places, and these negative influences remain for long periods of time. Unless they are removed, they continue to harm the people who live there.

People who are psychically gifted will know from personal experience how certain places like ancient battlefields still harbour powerful negative influences. The purpose of karmic cleansing is to purify these places so that the negative influences associated with them are permanently erased.

When these negative vibrations grow to the point where they affect large parts of the earth, they can only be removed by means of global transformation. Only by means of global cleansing can those people who inherit the “new earth” live free from the negative influences of the past.

Nature has many ways to cleanse the earth. In past ages it has used the forces of fire, wind and water to purify the earth. But the most common way is by water. When parts of the land become contaminated by the negativity caused by centuries of violence, hatred and oppression, these lands are cleansed by sinking beneath the waves. It is the action of water over many thousands of years of time that gradually washes away the mental stains of the past.

Sometimes this cleansing process can be achieved by burying the land under ice for long periods of time, or by means of hurricanes or through the purifying effects of fire. In the coming cleansing that is about to take place on earth, all of these forces will be used.

Q:  What can people do to prepare for these disasters?

A:  There is little that needs to be done outwardly to prepare for these disasters. For just as it is man’s thinking that is the cause of the chaos that is to come, so it is in man’s thinking that healing needs to take place. Those who wish to avoid these disasters need to prepare within themselves.

As you go about your daily duties try to focus on the higher truth. Try to remember that every person that you meet is a divine being no matter what their behaviour or their outer appearance. Try to treat them as you would like them to treat you. This is the test given by Jesus for those who will qualify for the golden age.

“Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: For I was hungry, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.”

“Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee hungry, and fed thee? Or thirsty, and gave thee drink? When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? Or naked, and clothed thee? Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?”

“And the King shall answer and say unto them, verily I say unto you, inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.”

“Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: For I was hungry, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.”

“Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee hungry, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee? Then shall he answer them, saying, verily I say unto you, inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.”

“And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.”   (Matthew 25: 34-46)

The test for those who will be saved will be the same as for those who will be condemned. It will not depend on how much wealth they have, or what position they have achieved in life, or how much education they have. It will depend on how they have treated those who have crossed their path in life.

Q:  Are there any places of safety to escape from these disasters?

A:  When these natural disasters begin to take place on earth, people everywhere will be desperate to find places where they can be safe. If there is no security to be found on the surface of the earth to escape the fiery hail falling from the sky, many will try to hide under the ground.

Many governments of the world have built large underground shelters that are designed to be used in such cases of emergency. Many of these shelters are linked together by means of tunnels. Yet even these refuges will not be spared from these disasters. No bomb-proof shelter will be safe.

No cavern will be deep enough to escape these disasters. The tunnels will be flooded by inrushing water while the shelters will be crushed by collapsing rocks.Those who are not karmically involved in these disasters do not need to worry about their safety.

They will be saved in many different ways. Some of them will seem to be miraculous. For even if they should find themselves caught in the middle of these catastrophes these people will come to no harm. But those who are the cause of these events will find no place to hide.

Q:  Should we warn other people about these disasters?

A:  Jesus said that at the time of the end people would be divided into two groups. There would be those who would listen to the warnings of the prophets and the omens occurring in the world and act on them. And there would be others who would ignore these predictions and carry on living as before. They would be in the vast majority.

Jesus said that those who listened to these warnings and acted upon them would be saved. Those who ignored them would not.

“Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.”

“And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.”  (Matthew 7: 24-27)

Those who are wise will listen to these warnings. They will prepare for the days that are to come. The foolish will ignore these warnings and scorn those who would try to persuade them to change their ways. The wise will understand what is about to happen on the earth. The foolish will not understand.

“Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.”  (Daniel 12: 10)

Most of the people living in the world today are too busy with their personal affairs to worry about prophecies about the times of the end. They are too concerned with their immediate goals in life to care about warnings of disasters to come. Besides, they will claim that those who talk about such things are focused on the negative side of life and are themselves to blame if anything disastrous should occur.

These people expect to live long productive lives just like their parents and their grandparents before them. And since they have no understanding of the true history of the past they will dismiss the very idea that a comet could strike the earth. They will also claim to have history on their side. So many predictions of disasters that were made in the past have not come true that they will reject these prophecies as well.

The doubters are convinced that life will somehow carry on as it always has. They will argue that there have always been troubles in life but these have always been overcome by human ingenuity. They will reject the idea that the universe is based on spiritual principles and that there must come a time when karmic debts will have to be paid.

We urge you to talk to people about the events that are to come and tell them about the warnings of the Bible and other holy books. Tell them about the prophecies of Jesus and of the signs that now appear on earth as omens of the latter days. Tell them that there will be catastrophes. Prepare them for what is prophesied to come. But tell them that out of these disasters will come the most glorious time in the history of the earth.

Tell them that there will be no more sorrow. There will be no more death. All suffering will end. The earthquakes, floods and winds will literally wash away the old and make way for the new. The horrors of war, misery and death will soon be banished from the world. And all of these disasters can be endured if people know that eternal life awaits them at the end.

Tell them also that they are loved. Tell them that there is still time to join those who will be saved. Tell them that guidance will be given to them if they ask. They will be guided from within. This guidance will cover every need. The only requirement is that they must be truly sincere in their desire to be saved.

Let those who will not listen go their way. Let them continue to think and act as they have done in the past. Let them continue to ignore the signs that are approaching. They will find out soon enough that these predictions will be fulfilled. As John wrote in his Book of Revelation:

“He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still. And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.”  (Revelation 22: 11-12)

Q:  What advice do you have for us in the days ahead?

A:  Let those who would be saved follow the words of Jesus. He said that the Son of man would come like a thief in the night. He said that the time of the end would happen at a time when no one was expecting it. Many would be unprepared. Many would be caught unawares. He urged his followers to watch and pray that they would be spared the plagues of the Great Tribulation.

“And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh. And he spake to them a parable; behold the fig tree, and all the trees; when they now shoot forth, ye see and know of your own selves that summer is now nigh at hand.”

“So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand. And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.”

“For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth. Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.”  (Luke 21: 28-36)

Let those who would be saved continue to watch and pray. For no matter how advanced a person may seem to be upon the Path of Returning to Everlasting Light, they do not know if they will be able to withstand the fire of the Great Initiation. Pray that you will be spared the trials of tribulation. Pray that you will be given guidance in the days that are to come.

Watch as world events unfold around you. Watch what happens in the land of Israel. Israel will be the spark that will light the fires of tribulation. Israel will be the key to the coming of terror upon the earth. Watch the enemies of Israel. Watch for the time when they take up arms and march with their armies against the land of Israel.

This time is rapidly approaching. Even now the enemies of Israel make plans for their destruction. Even now they assemble weapons and build up their armies. Even now a spirit of hostility is growing in the lands that surround Israel. Words of peace are being replaced with talk of war. It will not be long before action follows words.

For when the land of Israel is surrounded by the armies of its enemies that will be the time when the comet will appear. That will be the time when the asteroid will hit the earth. That will be the time when the seven year period of tribulation will begin. That will be the time when the Anti-Christ will appear. That will be the time when the Great Redeemer of mankind will soon return to earth to begin his thousand year reign of peace.

Watch and pray.

Children of the earth rejoice!  As you go about the duties of your day realize that the long awaited time of your salvation has finally arrived. Realize that you are not alone. You are surrounded by the heavenly hosts. We who are the remnant of the last days of Tolemac will be with you also. We will witness with you the salvation of the earth. We will share with you the glory that is to come.

Someday soon there will be a day of singing such as has never before been heard upon the earth. It will be the sound of a single voice. This single voice will swell with a great multitude of heavenly voices. Choirs of angelic voices will be heard in unison together singing “Come home Earth, Come home, Come home”.

Then will be heard in response a chorus of all the souls upon the earth. It will be a mingling of the voices of people and of birds and of animals. There will be a harmony of sound and colour and beauty that is beyond imagining. All the souls of earth will join together in worship of the Everlasting Light. This is the Light that shines within the heart of every soul. It is the Light of the eternal “I Am”.

This is the testament of Tolemac.
This is the time of your Great Initiation.
This is the time for which you have been born.
This is the time for which you have died countless times.
This is the time of your graduation in the Great School of Life.
