From The Book "Tempus Invictus"
If
any person is tired of the physical, material life, if he is overwhelmed by
the apparent decadency of civilizations, if he is constantly stressed by
incurable diseases and conditions and wishes to alleviate these various mental
and physical tensions, there is only one logical course to pursue. Only
through the doorway of constructive evolution can he hope to aspire to a
better life. He must envision the future millions of years as his
great opportunity, whereby in successive lifetimes he can learn to
live in a higher state of consciousness and which can be assumed to be more
and more freed from insoluble conditions.
Throughout the works of Unarius, this straightforward
constructive plan of evolution is presented in factual, realistic and
scientific concepts. The possibility of
constructive evolution is presented as a certain reality which can be obtained
by any individual who completely dedicates himself to the task, who is willing
to give up the old self, its emotional vicissitudes, etc., and to
progressively reconstruct his entire psychic anatomy or spiritual self in a
manner and way which will enable him to live in a better world.
It would do no good for any person to temporarily escape death by running into
a cavern or by going out into space. Sooner or later he would die the physical
death anyway; and finding himself in the spiritual world, he would be even
more confused than he would have been had he "died" in the
catastrophe.
Yes, and even in the light of analyses, Christianity is,
without doubt, one of the greatest of all these dispensations of doom which
has been dispensated to countless millions of people in the past two thousand
years—those who have gone to the grave believing in the false promises of
resurrection and eternal life without proper preparation—preparation which
can be attained only through thousands of
lifetimes lived progressively, which will prepare the individual by expanding
his consciousness beyond the third-dimensional earth life.
If you would like to live a better life, if you would like to
live beyond the grave, and in higher realms of consciousness, then you must
prepare yourself for the better life in the higher world. Belief in a
religious system or an intercessor will get you nowhere. These
promises are as hollow as are the tombs of the men who have repeated them
throughout the centuries. The actual existence of
life is possible only as the present conscious moment of reality, and this
reality is almost always entirely compounded from the past.
To most people, the future is not reality; they live only by the sheer
necessity of survival. Like plant and animal life on this planet, this
survival necessity is only the first step in evolution. Man becomes
different from an animal only when he begins to recognize, and through
recognition, the possibility of a future beyond the grave and an
existence in a higher plane of consciousness is possible—and incidentally, a
life which will be lived far more actively than is any earth life—for as
consciousness is expanded, so does consciousness increase in its activities
whereby various factors of existence are being constantly correlated in the
pattern of life.
There is no Utopia in the spiritual worlds. There are no lives lived in
indolent ease, playing golden harps while floating about on pink clouds. Above
the material plane, life is far more actively integrated in consciousness than
on the material plane; moreover, conditions are different. There are no
contentions in various differences of mass and energy, for in these higher
worlds, all is energy.
The physical processes of sustaining the human body, such as
food, drink, elimination, etc., are supplanted by a more direct life-giving
principle—the absorption of cosmic energies which are constantly radiating
in saturated intensities throughout the great, so-called voids of space.
Various forms of consciousness will also undergo metamorphoses. In
the first stages of spiritual life, there is a constant attempt to integrate
various earth life forms into this new spiritual atmosphere.
The first few million years of spiritual life may be lived in
mind-constructed energy formations which to some degree represent the earth
life. Various buildings, such as houses, auditoriums, etc., will be
constructed of pulsating, radiant-hued energy, held in its existing form
as a constant effort of consciousness. Gradually, as thousands of years pass,
the necessity of these forms diminish and consciousness will assume a much
more infinite perspectus. Mental consciousness will be an extremely
widely-diversified relationship with the Infinite in an oscillating manner,
whereby conscious-ness is sustained in a way quite similar to that of the
Infinite Creator Itself.
However, this concept is so completely abstract as to be
beyond the comprehension of your present consciousness.
This is the unknown future—at least unknown to almost all earth people—and
because it is unknown, it is not taught in our educational or religious
systems. Mankind, therefore, lives constantly in
dread of his future. The shadow of death always hovers over him, a death which
is as unrealistic as are the many false attitudes of life which result from
the coercive fear of death.
