Why are we here – now?

BLS

We certainly live through very worrying, unsettling times. There is a seemingly never-ending war because both sides only want to stop it if it is a complete victory for their side. There is a built-up of powerful alliances and the threat of a worldwide nuclear holocaust (1).

How and with what consciousness should we respond to the unfolding chaos that we witness?

We know that the times of a prophet are usually times of great change and strife. This is so because the advent of a new great truth will always be accompanied by turbulence (2).
CR 191 tells us that the people who accompany Billy in his present may have accompanied him as well in his previous incarnations:
“… some of our group members belong to the group for the first time, but in former times, others were already here, in firmer or very loose forms, as other personalities”.

Semjase adds that these people are on our planet for a specific reason (3).
And that they were meant to change into the thinking of the Earth humans:
CR 191:53. “… But in order to be able to change everything, it was also necessary that everyone would change themselves into the thinking of the Earth-humans …”

I interpret Semjase’s information to mean that when Semjasa, Asael and their followers reincarnated they were prevented from accessing the storage banks because were they given such access, they would have subconsciously picked up their past destructive energies/impulses and they would likely have created all the same disasters again. So, for humanity's sake, their (Plejaren) brothers and sisters took them away, converted them to the truth (Law of Seven-ness) and once they fully understood this truth, they committed themselves to reincarnate at the turbulent times of Billy’s prophet lineage to spread the truth to their fellow-Earth humans. So, while these were/are unsteady times they were/are as well times in which to steer mankind in the right direction, away from destruction. And by doing so compassionately (4), by helping Earth humanity, Semjasa, Asael and their followers were as well able to balance their own consciousness (how they see themselves in their relationship with Earth humanity).
Considering that Earth, being – by far - the most violent planet the Plejaren ever encountered (5), being compassionate with the sufferings of others may be a way of balancing the excesses (6) and consciousness (7) for many Earth human beings.

Please note this is my own interpretation.

Bear in mind, human being of the Earth:
No true prophets were ever and are ever assigned [allocated] to you to bring you peace in worldly life.
True prophets bring you strife [unrest/discontent] in worldly life as well as struggle and discord with yourself and your neighbor [fellow human], for the prophets that teach the truth don’t bring you worldly successes and worldly life, but the all-great-timely life as BEING in relative perfection of the spirit, which you have to earn through the power and activity of your consciousness, and which is alien to [unknown] the knowledge of worldly thinkers and which in their materialistic way of thinking spurs them on into discord, so that they become the enemy of the spiritual knowledge and the prophets and for those who have the knowledge, whom they curse, as it will also be with you and your true last prophet of the new time, who is the seventh and last member [link] of the Nokodemion-lineage.

(3) Excerpt of CR 191
http://www.futureofmankind.co.uk/Billy_Meier/Contact_Report_191

The origin of the beginning of sorrow and all evils on the Earth is described in the OM writing by the prophet Henoch, in which he speaks of Semjasa and his followers who, at that time, went with him among the Earth-humans and caused disaster.
Semjasa was the supreme leader of all, and Asasel was first secretly and then openly his adversary.
… they brought all evils to the Earth …, whereby the first two nuclear wars were released on Earth, as Semjasa and Asasel mutually annihilated themselves and their people.
After their rebirth, they were taken away by their former brothers and sisters on Earth, so in the course of time, they converted to the truth again and committed themselves to work on the Earth in the future, according to the strictest performance of duty, for so long until all damage and all errors were removed again, which they had caused in their incomprehensibility at the beginning of their time on Earth.

So, they [power-hungry (and their proponents) on our planet] continue to … continue to promote wars, hatred, destruction and ruin, instead of doing everything possible to transform their warrior gene – which was manipulated into the [their] primeval ancestors from time immemorial and inherited in them to the present day – into good and positive in itself and to become righteous, peaceful, free and harmonious, compassionate people.

(5) CR 241:397-400
tell us that Earth is by far the most violent planet the Plejaren ever encountered – we only managed to have 250 years peace during the past 10,000 years (the 2nd ranked most violent planet had 5938 out of 10,000 years peace)

(6) (Edgar Cayce – Reading 364-1)
Between 1924 and 1944 Edgar Cayce gave readings to 1600 people - 700 (= 43.75%) of them had incarnations in Atlantis ... for a reason:
“Be it true that there is the fact of reincarnation, and that (entities *)) that once occupied such an environs (i.e. Atlantis) are entering the earth’s sphere and inhabiting individuals in the present, is it any wonder that - if they made such alterations in the affairs of earth in their day, as to bring destruction upon themselves – if they are entering now, they might make many changes in the affairs of peoples and individuals in the affairs of peoples and individuals in the present.”

*) We must take into account that Edgar Cayce did not know Billy or the Spirit Teaching (he died in 1945). So, naturally, he would use the terms he knew from his Christian religion. So, in the text above he used the word “souls” for “entities”.

This has to be one of the most difficult things you could ask and I do not have an exact answer to it. I have thought about this a number of times and the only thing I can think of is this:

If the objective is to become a true human being then all the values contained within the teachings must be continuously studied and worked on regardless of what happens around us because the alternative means degenerating along with everyone else.

Wish I could offer more but that is all I have.

BLS

Welcome to the Forum, Paul.
This is, indeed, not an easy question.
And yes, I do agree with your insight.

I wanted to highlight that there may be a much deeper reason for Billy, the people born and the events in our time. Semjase's discussion with Billy centers around the reason underlying the mission and the "mission-willingness" of (Figu's Core) Group members and those of today’s Earth-humans, "who were once involved in the machinations of primeval times" which may refer to their being (in a previous incarnation) followers of Asael and Semjasa who started our planet's first two nuclear wars.
We may not know our past incarnations.
And it may be long ago. But history repeats.
Yet though very worrying the U. War presents as well an opportunity to stand up for a peaceful world and to participate in the Peace Meditation) (1).

But this should not take anything away from your finding that we should face this time with the determination to "continuously study and work on all the values contained within the teachings - regardless of what happens around us".

He [Gorbachev] actually belongs to the mission-bound ones and he acts according to the released impulses, which became effective through the peace meditation.

Paul

Hi BLS,

Thanks for the welcome although, I have been around for a long time I just did not post.

I have read about Asael and Semjasa before however, I need to go and read up again as that was some time ago and it has mostly gone out of my head. I understand your question a bit better now, but an answer alludes me.

Gives me something to think about though.

I do take part in Peace Meditation (with pyramid) as often as I can. However, if I remember correctly, it was about reducing negative energy surrounding the planet which, was built up over hundreds of years. If those mission-bound ones like, Gorbachev, were able to act according to the released impulses then this shows that it works as long as it is continued which, leads me to think, what happens when the Plejaren leave. They will no longer participate and there are very few of us who practice it for the effects to have a serious enough impact.

What do you think about this?

BLS

Hi Paul,
Good question. I do not know if the Peace Meditation will remain but I think it will.
In its effect it is, to me, an extension of the vibrations sent out by the celestial sphere which pacified the Plejaren for good some 52,000 years ago.
It seems that Billy’s teachings are meant to spread only slowly (1) and in small circles of people ‘suitable for the teaching’ thus preventing religious chaos, hate and/or revolutions.

This advice was given by the High Council on Nov 2, 1976:
https://www.futureofmankind.co.uk/Billy_Meier/Special_Transmission_from_the_High_Council

Therefore, it should be advised that the true knowledge of the truth will henceforth only come into existence in circles which prove to be suitable for the teaching of the logic of the spirit, so that in the future it spreads and expands in an unadulterated form worldwide through small circles and groups over a period of at least 800 years of earthly calculation.

Hi Daniel,

I may on and off provide some more details about your question - what entails a "true life style".
In this regard - you made some good remarks re. meditation. One point though - the equalized-ness of the consciousness which gives rise to the inner tranquility cannot be found if meditation is done to for selfish gains – it only be found with a mindset of deference for all and everything and everyone.

The following is an excerpt from Billy’s book “Genesis” p.96-100
(My translation may contain mistakes)

The Gemüt is the spiritual part of what is called psyche in the material sphere.
In the spiritual domain the Gemüt is responsible for the required equalized-ness and harmony of the spirit and its consciousness, and it guarantees the spirit itself its permanent top form and unassailability from delusion, illness, depression and other negatives and lows of any kind.
In the material domain (body) the psyche is responsible for the necessary equalized-ness and harmony of the body and for its consciousness.
…
The equalized-ness of the consciousness is the prerequisite for all creative thinking and acting.
….
To acquire the consciousness-equalized-ness for developing the inner tranquility and the inner life it is necessary to point out, in all explicitness and above all else, the fine-spiritual-perception of deference (of honoring, venerability, veneration, honorableness) because only when the deference (honoring, venerability, veneration, honorableness) for all and everything and everyone is present in the human being – only then can also the equalized-ness of the consciousness be found.
...
Always must you be intent, to be only instructive but never be coercive.
So, you, too, have to establish this for yourself; never allow that your will is formed through compulsion, rather only and alone by instruction.

Hi Arthur,
Thank you for the well-researched supplementary information.
Salome,

DL:
The abandonment of godly religions should not lead to human hubris.
It is exactly this point why Billy's teaching is meant to spread only slowly and only among those who see its benefit.
Be assured that no one wants to convert you. But do not destroy our Peace Meditation.
And do not try to convert us to your way of thinking:
You may not find many listeners on this Forum if you make light of Petale’s guidance .

BTW - Shakespeare aka Christopher Marlowe (1) - and the Figu Dictionary is well-known for its creation of new English words.
Yes, it does say equalisedness - but in my Word document this always comes out as a mistake hence my writing "equalized-ness" (which is accepted as error-free)

CR 532:3-15

Selfishness as a pejorative term should not be conflated with self interest. "lacking consideration for other people" is not the same as "for the self." A doctor who cures people and receives money for it (sometimes a lot) does not lack consideration for other people. The person who expects the doctor to cure them without just compensation is the selfish one.
I think if you can help someone to live a happy life then you should be allowed to help yourself to live one as well while not being called selfish. So it is fine to meditate if that helps you in some way. You are also allowed to eat and sleep without feeling guilty for self preservation.

BLS

I am simply concerned that there should be serious discussions about the teachings that were transmitted to us – and for our benefit - via Billy – from AA and Petale.
It is said that a comedian once asked Shakyamuni Buddha whether his next incarnation would be a happy one since he had made so many people happy during his present life. But Shakyamuni did not answer his question. So, he asked again. Again, no answer. So, he asked the Buddha a third time. And this time the Buddha replied:
“If you really want to know – you will have no happy life because with your jokes you made your audiences lose their seeking spirit for the 4 Noble Truths.”
Yes, though mentioned in a biography of S. Buddha this episode may be fictious. Still, the sad fate of many comedians may not be accidental (1) as the “irony” of their jokes is but an expression of ‘ looking down on others": The root of irony is “ira” (Latin for “wrath”).

Yes, Arthur, I know.
English comedy (Fawlty towers, Two Ronnies etc.) and Shakespeare’s plays use situational and dramatic irony very often: the audience is well aware of the truth but the players - seemingly - are not. And yes, it may be very common to ‘downplay’ saying e.g., ‘I do not hate it’ so as to avoid the much more committing and direct ‘I like it’. Not sure though whether this is appropriate when discussing the teaching of Creational Energy/Truth: We know that seriousness is one of the 77 attributes for the development of the consciousness
https://www.futureofmankind.co.uk/Billy_Meier/Contact_Report_765

But my main thought was to protect the Peace Meditation. I felt the assertion
“The main benefits of any of the meditations are purely selfish one's” was a step too far.
Even more so as this mediation may prevent an escalation of a war that could affect us all.

Billy (True Love – A Unifying Might)
https://www.futureofmankind.co.uk/Billy_Meier/A_Little_Bit_Of_Knowledge,_Sense_And_Wisdom_(book)
“True love, namely, surpasses all love which is thought-feeling generated, which, as a rule, only exhausts itself in degenerated emotions.
If, however, the human being holds out, and accepts all the efforts and burdens associated with the time of teaching and creating, which true love - determined by spiritual-fine-sensitive feeling[1] - takes, instead of losing himself or herself in all of that which is easy and insignificant, and in false and foolish being-in-love, behind which he or she hides from the truthful weight of true love and from the actual seriousness of life, then he or she will not only gain relief and progress, as well as significant self-knowledge and self-realization

Ptaah in CR 425:

The attitude towards the value of life and the way of living, etc., is also a factor which must be taken into account, corrected and realized, as well as the seriousness and effort of learning about the spiritual teaching, the teaching of life and mission, etc.

May you know that in spite of our differences I do respect you as a fellow human being.
And yes, we all have our experiences in life and they do become how we respond to others in later life.
The mediation in question is based on ('Peace be on Earth - and) all beings". So, it is with this in mind - with a loving heart for all living beings on our planet -that this meditation should be conducted.

I've thought about that question all through my life. "Why are we here" but I never added the word 'now' to it.
The answer(s) to that have changed several times as I traveled through my life. (61) I thought that question in my teens but my hormones kept that on the back burner until I grew up. In my Christian years I thought I was here for that old dude in the sky who never answers the phone but during all that I felt I was in the wrong place. Way too many contradiction and lots of irony and hypocrite liars. I tried understanding politics for about 15 yrs until reality slapped me straight. There's no fixing that problem on my own so that wasn't the reason for me existing.
Flash forward to now.
After reading every contact report from #1 to #870 I now know why we are here. I'm not referring to the time when we are here, but only the question
"Why are we here?"

We are here. Just because. And only ourselves can make of it what we choose.

PS: In reference to the 'Now' I don't think we or I are here at this time in the timeline of time to be disciples so to speak for the mission. Well, We are but I don't believe we are here during this time on purpose. As if to say we were selected. At least for myself.
The mission will take another 800 yrs+-. If my calculations are close, 800 years from now could be 3,4 maybe 5 reincarnations during that span if 180yrs is the average time during the slumber time between incarnations. That means I could come back to this terrible planet 5 more times before things get good. I wish I could opt out during the Pig-Human war creatures era and a few other coming things but I doubt that's an option.
Anyways. I'm just rambling on here. Thanks for listening.
