SEVEN POSTULATES OF SPIRITUAL PERFECTION
[This is a recapitulation of the core of Archangel Gabriel's message in this series of dictations.]
Postulate 1.
THERE IS ONLY ONE GOD IN THREE DIVINE PERSONS.
Ask anyone to explain this seeming contradiction and he will be at a loss for a logical explanation. Then ask him to think about these:
God is the set and the three Divine Persons are the elements. God is the set that manifests in three main attributes: Will Power, Intelligence, and Love. God is a set of infinite characteristics of these attributes.
God is the purest of the pure energy, with the highest possible vibrations. God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit have the purest of pure energy. And the Being who has all the attributes of God the Father (Will Power), God the Son (Love), and Holy Spirit or God the Mother (Intelligence) is called God the Infinite.
There is only one God. And God is a ray of light in three different colors to signify the different attributes of God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.
In effect, there are four Pure Spirits (the purest of the pure): God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit to comprise the Three Divine Persons, and the collective spirit --- God the Infinite Being --- who knows what the three know and do. Each one is called a God because they all have the highest form of vibration and are inexhaustible sources of energy. And when we say, reach heaven and be one with God it means to attain the highest form of vibration. And to attain this kind of high vibration necessarily implies a detachment from material things.
Postulate 2.
TO REACH HEAVEN, ONE HAS TO BE DETACHED FROM MATERIAL THINGS.
Being spiritual means being anti-material. One is the opposite of the other. So you cannot be material and at the same time spiritual. One is here on Earth to remove any of his affinities to things of the Earth like riches, sex, ego, and all other pleasures and vices.
Postulate 3.
BE PURE IN THOUGHTS, WORDS, AND DEEDS.
This is the Ten Commandments simplified. It consists more of having that attitude, that desire, of purifying oneself. Why be pure? One has to know the effect of one's deeds on the soul --- the clothes of the spirit. Impure thoughts, words, and deeds soil the soul. To cleanse, be sorry for your sins before God. Or better still, say the Act of Contrition as you cleanse yourself with the blessed water from the waterfalls of Mt. Banahaw, or from any sacred place like Fatima or the Grotto. Impurity makes the spirit spiritually inefficient and more materially inclined. With impurity, one can never become a temple of God. In short, one has to become holy.
Postulate 4.
NO ONE CAN BE ADMITTED IN HEAVEN WITH ANY KARMIC DEBT.
Karma is the justice of God evenly and unemotionally dispensed. Karma is a very natural, just law. Simply stated, karma law provides: "From good must come good, and from evil, evil." Or, "every thought and every act is either good or bad. Each is compensated accordingly, if not immediately then in subsequent incarnation or re-embodiment." In short, what one is now is the result of his thoughts and deeds in past incarnations and what he thinks or does in this life will determine what he will become in the next reincarnation. And because of karmic law, reincarnation is necessary. This means, men are all recycled spirits who failed their exams in previous lives. Since one does not know the past lives of anyone, even of himself, he is unfit to judge the character of any individual. Why reincarnation? For what purpose? Then we go to the next postulate.
Postulate 5.
ONE'S AIM ON EARTH 1S TO BECOME PERFECT IN WILL POWER, WISDOM, AND LOVE.
Earning one's living and material mastery is part of perfection of Will Power. Exertion of effort increases the strength of Will Power in man. When one overcomes obstacles, when he resists temptation, that spends tremendous energy from him. The Will Power energy spent is replaced by God the Father with the same energy but multiplied by ten because of the Law of Conversion. This is how one becomes stronger when he hurdles obstacles or trials in life. The Law of Conversion is the application of the saying, "God helps those who help themselves." Even when you pray, you exert effort. And this effort is returned to you by God in terms of pranic energy which is again multiplied by ten.
To achieve perfection, one needs to study and research. In the Bible, in the olden times, this was not required by God. But in the Age of Aquarius, everyone is required to be enlightened or to attain a high level of Awareness, for when one dies his level of Awareness, his knowledge on Earth is retained. And what's more, it is multiplied by ten after death because of the Law of Conversion. So belief in God is not enough. To reach a higher level or attain a higher level of happiness in heaven, one has to have the corresponding high level of Awareness.
Then, more importantly, one must learn all aspects of Love on Earth, from Love of parents, of brothers and sisters, of playmates and neighbors, of a special someone --- the spouse, of children, of humanity in general, and finally of God. If someone fails in any one aspect and has too much love of self, then he incurs karmic debts.
Also, his ability to do things or Will Power and his level of Awareness or Intelligence must be used for the betterment of his neighbors and society in general, which is an expression of Love.
Postulate 6.
DETACHMENT FROM MATERIAL THINGS; PURITY OF THOUGHTS, WORDS AND DEEDS; PAYMENT OF KARMIC DEBTS; AND, SPIRITUAL AND MATERIAL PERFECTION CAN BEST BE ATTAINED THROUGH THE CHRIST-WAY: PRAYER, FASTING, AND MEDITATION.
Prayer is when one draws pranic energy from God to strengthen his conscious mind or right spirit. Fasting is when he weakens his subconscious mind or left spirit --- the "devil in him" --- so as to make one less materially inclined. Meditation is when he makes himself "half-conscious and half-asleep" and makes his conscious and subconscious mind work together. Meditation is also a way of "grading" oneself to see how far he is on the road to spiritual perfection. Meditation is also a way of communicating with the spirits (for those who are advanced).
Postulate 7.
ALL OF POSTULATES #2, #3, #4 AND #5 CAN BE ATTAINED BY ANYONE IN ONE'S LIFETIME IF HE AVOIDS WASTE. IF ONE ACHIEVES 51% OF THE ABOVE FOUR POSTULATES WHILE ON EARTH, THEN HE CAN CONTINUE WORKING ON THE REMAINING 49% IN HEAVEN.
In short, reincarnation can be stopped in one stage in the present lifetime, to continue with the perfection or purification in the next higher plane. This postulate is important because once despair sets in, the individual may not strive anymore. This suggests that the "heaven" above is not the pure heaven that you envision. It is still a stage of purification although it is much easier than on Earth simply because there is no more tremendous pull of material things, and no more black pranic energy sent by Satan to activate or magnify the devil in man --- the subconscious.
So in effect, we postulate that heaven is not a single place but of different stages or dimensions. To every level of perfection Will Power, Intelligence, and Love corresponds a level of happiness and a stage or dimension of heaven. For here, we define heaven simply as that dimension which is not material existence. And so one can be in heaven right here on Earth if he is highly spiritual, completely detached from material things, perfect in Will Power, Wisdom, and Love --- because with them one attains that serene contentment, that endless happiness where there is no sorrow.
The concept of heaven we postulate therefore is not exactly the same as in other religions where after this life one can relax. This heaven is where you relax while you work, and work while you relax. There is pure enjoyment in things you do while still in your four-dimensional Earth. Is it possible to be on Earth and be above the four-dimensional Earth at the same time? Yes. When you become a mystic, when you are transfigured, when all your duplicates combine. Just like what Jesus Christ did. And he is the concrete proof of these Seven Postulates, that it is possible to attain perfection through the Christ-way. But if it is not attained now, you can continue above the four-dimensional Earth and your job is easier so long as you attain 51% of the requirements. This you do in the astral plane where the conscious mind of lucky persons travel and reach, and sometimes do not want to leave behind. The astral plane is the lower "heaven" above the four-dimensional Earth.
In the final analysis, heaven is in everyone. It is being attuned to a certain dimension. It depends on your vibration which also depends on your detachment, purity, perfection, and payment of karmic debts. In short, you in your stage of evolution create your heaven. What makes you say that Earth is not heaven is because of the karmic debts you pay through pain, suffering, and misfortune, boredom, and all forms of unhappiness to make you detach from Earthly things and opt for spiritual life.
In effect, the concept of heaven we postulate differs from the concept of other religions, like the "nirvana" of the Buddhists, or the "utopia" of the Communists, or the "heaven" of all religions, which look at heaven as a haven of perfect bliss where one simply enjoys and relaxes.
This heaven is a continuation of your search to become one with God in terms of Will Power, Intelligence, and Love. It is like climbing an infinite ladder starting from your birth on Earth and up and up and even in "heaven" you do not stop. You climb and climb. You work and work until you are nearly as perfect as God but not quite. Nearly like His vibration but not quite.
Man's knowledge about God is a crooked inch of the miles and miles of knowledge. I, St. Gabriel, was instructed by God the Infinite to straighten the inch, and to lengthen it so long as man is ready.
