As the sun rose, the Sisters prayed in the little chapel each morning. Sister Anna Marie said I had to stay in bed until breakfast, as she wanted me to grow up properly to marry me.

One morning after Sister Anna Marie finished tickling me.

I asked, “Mummy, how were new babies fed before anyone invented glass bottles to hold milk?”

Sister Anna Marie replied, “You are such a clever boy. It would be brilliant if I could have our baby someday. I think I would want a little girl first. Would this be okay with you, my sweetheart?”

“That would be very nice, for then we could raise her as you should have been raised.”

Expecting the next most probable question from my fertile mind, she said, “Time for breakfast. Then chores. Do you love me?”

“I love you all the way to Heaven and maybe even more. You and I are spiritually one,” I said as I hugged her.

Sister Anna Marie was very entertaining at breakfast. All the Sisters enjoyed the reborn Sister Anna Marie; I am sure that each thanked Our Lady in their prayers for the miracle of her healing. I was content being with the Sisters and never wanted to leave them.

After we finished our chores, we took the bus to see Sister Agnes Louise. I adored Sister Agnes Louise as she was so brilliant and vital as Gabriel let her guard his Codex.

As usual, we found Sister working in her flower garden. I ran to hug her.

She loved flowers and told me, “Miguel, each little flower in our big world was created by Holy Mother to remind us of her Endless Love.”

The Fourth Lesson

Sister Agnes Louise asked Sister Anna Marie, “Child, how is Miguel doing with his reading?”

Sister Anna Marie answered, “Your grandson is doing excellent. His vocabulary multiplies every day. I introduce ten new words a day. He must memorise each word and its meaning. Then, he must recognise and pronounce it properly from a list I make up of past words. He can read and explain many passages of the New Testament to me.”

“My, oh my, such a clever boy. Miguel, do you like to read,” asked Sister Agnes Louise?

“Oh, yes, Sister. I learned so many things by reading the Bible. And Mummy is the best teacher. I am proud of my Mummy.”

“This is excellent. For today, we shall discuss what Gabriel wrote as to proper prayer. He has studied the various prayer methods used by mankind since the earliest times. From my reading, Gabriel is sagacious, and I can see why Our Lord cared about him so much.”

“Miguel, would you like to read from his Codex at one of our lessons,” asked Sister Agnes Louise?

“Yes, very much. I would like to meet Gabriel one day, as I know he is still alive. But only if Mummy can see the Codex, too. I love you very much, Sister Agnes Louise.”

“Of course, she may read and touch the Codex. She is your eternal partner, remember, little warrior. Some days, I am amazed by your words, Miguel. You seem so sure of yourself.”

“Did Sister Anna Marie tell you she and I will incarnate Lady Ariel one day?”

Sister Agnes Louise replied, most surprised, “Child, you want to make a baby with Sister? You want Anna Marie to bear the Holy Daughter?”

“I want to make a baby with Sister Anna Marie, for Holy Mother says that making a baby is the holiest act. When I am all grown up, that is. All I know is that I love Ariel, Holy Mother, Sister Anna Marie, and you. I think Holy Father is happy with me.”

Sister Anna Marie hugged me, saying, “To make a baby with you is a sacred act. I love you more than you can imagine, my darling. My heart is forever yours.”

Sister Agnes Louis was amazed at the quality of our love, for she understood we had lived many lives together as committed reincarnating individuals.

She returned to our lesson, saying, “Gabriel begins his analysis by noting that ancient prayers came from the heart and not the mind.

“Gabriel says there are two ways to approach the Holy Family, as far as prayer is concerned. He says prayer is like a magnet having a North and a South Pole. Upon one pole of this magnet rests the prayer called prophetic prayer. Upon the other rests mystical prayer. He says humanity has vastly different ways to approach the Holy Family.

Gabriel wrote in his Codex, “Every man, woman, and child can pray. Prayer is innate to human psychology. Today, I want to offer an accurate and essential definition of prayer. PRAYER is a living, conscious communication with God, a God conceived of as personal and present in one’s experience, a communion in the form of our evolutionary relationships.

“Three elements are present in religious prayer:  First, the person praying sincerely believes they are speaking with the God of their Heart and Realization. Second, such God is intimately present and attentive. Third, God and the person experience genuine heart-to-heart communication.

“Reflecting upon the above definition, classical mystical contemplation and absorption are not prayers, as the mystic seeks the impersonal. The mystic seeks the Highest Good, or Highest Beauty, and desires to lose their personal identity within such.”

Sister Agnes Louise, “If I understand Gabriel correctly, we must refer to his lesson concerning the Holy Family as the first manifestation of the Source, Brahman Unmanifest. Brahman Unmanifest is the Original, Boundless, Eternal Totality that cannot be characterised. The human mind’s best accomplishment is accepting the Buddhist Four-Fold Logic, which allows every conceivable explanation, even though Brahman is more.

“The only way Brahman Unmanifest can act within a limited Universe is withdrawing a portion of Its Essential Nature from said Universe. What is withdrawn is mathematical absolute continuity, for a continuous system manifests no differences. The resultant system is geometrically discrete and changing.

“Gabriel says the Kabbalist Luria realized the Creator must withdraw Itself from a portion of Infinite Space to manifest a physical and psychic world. He called such self-limitation Tzimtzum. Christians have a similar concept known as kenosis. However, this term refers solely to Jesus, self-emptying his will to be receptive to God’s Will.

“Therefore, the Limited Brahman manifests as Holy Father and Holy Mother. The form experienced by a person praying corresponds to that conceived by the person. None of the Holy Family possesses inherent form, but this is of minor matter, as far as humans are concerned.”

Sister Anna Marie said, “So, to have a personal experience with a member of the Holy Family, we must create a Sacred Image for the Formless to assume in the Oneirion World. Jung would call this an Archetype which strengths when reinforced. Clever. This way, they can help all conscious creatures everywhere in the Universe, presuming that the human form is not unique.”

Sister Agnes Louise paused, saying, “Gabriel says there are many kinds of creatures in our Universe, some in the physical, some only in the Oneirion Worlds. In one section of his Codex, he tells of his experiences with the Djinn, who look just like humans.”

“It is true, Grandmother. I have met many curious creatures in my Dreamtime. I love dreaming so very much,” I said.

Sister Agnes Louise said, “By studying the ancient cultures of our species, as found in the pre-Upanishad Vedas, we discover primitive prayers are trine in expression. Do not think moderns have abandoned this prayer triune; just ask some churchgoers.

“The first member of the triune is called a petitionary prayer. Such petitions arise quickly in great emotional upheavals such as acute anxiety, fear, vexation, hate, sorrow, worry, and other psychic upsets. Petitionary prayers were likely the earliest free and spontaneous outpourings of the human heart. They express the will to live in passionate struggle and longing for self-preservation, deliverance, or turning aside threatened danger.

“Prayer is always found when an individual consciousness realises it can do nothing, so they rely on mightier beings who oversee their fate. Such consciousness is reinforced during our upbringing by family and society.

“Whenever a person finds they are helpless or need to avert a danger, they innately call upon and invoke the immediate help of a powerful ancestor, nature spirit, or a local deity. Post-enlightenment proponents claim emotional overload causes them to regress to a child state when their parents protect them in times of danger.

“Gabriel teaches that such regression occurs, but this is not the proper explanation. The actual emotional drivers for such prayers for help are not within the personality per se but arise from the divine soul-seed available to normal humans. The soul-seed is our personal vessel or kli. We need a unique container to receive Light from the Noble Organ, our connection to the Holy Family. Such Light comes into us as helpful information on how to act.

“It would not be misleading to state that Divinity must have opened up intercourse with humanity; God revealed Itself to humanity before man came to God. Knowledge of the aphysical is innate in our species.

“Over time, men and women concluded petitionary prayers helped explain success in times of danger and began applying prayer to improve, enhance, and enrich their daily lives. The hunter prayed for success in the field, the farmer for a rich harvest, the merchant for brisk sales with profit, and the mother for healthy children.

“Subsequently, the second motive for prayer was to satisfy a material wish. As those praying did not know how to fulfil their desires, they again turned to intercourse with higher beings. Gabriel says that men and women realize their inherent helplessness and sincerely believe that happiness and success rest on a higher being’s agency and will. Wish-fulfilling prayers are likely the most common type in modern man.

“The random perceived granting of one’s wish serves as a solid motivator for prayers of thankfulness and joy, which function as positive feedback for praying more often.

“The second type of petitionary prayer is for an ancestor or god to intercede with social authority. So, giving the petitioner improved social standing or wealth. Questions?”

Sister Anna Marie commented, “It is true what Gabriel teaches, for I have heard such requests to our Sisters by the ladies we care for. To petition God for material goods or social status does not seem very spiritual. I can understand how it is helpful to maintain hope and emotional stability. Still, I do not think such prayer is what Gabriel calls a proper prayer.

“Such prayers are human attempts to persuade the Holy Family to conform Their Will to that of a human being. I am sure that ancient sacrifice was meant as a payment in advance for a future favour to the person sacrificing. Such beliefs and actions stem from pure egoism, self-aggrandisement and hoarding of goods.”

I answered, “Mummy, do not be so harsh on less developed persons. I think we all ask the Holy Family for personal aid to help us enrich our lives. Do you not pray to the Holy Mother for us to be married one day and have our baby, Ariel? I do not think the Holy Family criticises us for asking how to better our existence without egoism.

“Remember, even Jesus asked the Holy Family to take away the cup from which he was ordained to drink. Violent, painful death is abhorrent to all normal people, but his True Self strengthened his human reserve, and he said that his Father’s Will must be done. Jesus understood that his human fear must not interfere with his Divine Hope for the world. So, it is not the petition itself which is wrong, but the attitude of the person praying.”

Sister Agnes Louise agreed, “My little warrior, you are so wise and understanding. Where does this knowledge come from?”

“Sister and Mummy, Ariel tells me many things when she visits in my Dreamtime. She always gives me a big hug and kiss, sits me on her lap, and teaches me many things.

“Ariel says most conscious creatures are provided with a divine soul-seed after physical birth. These soul-seeds comprise the same Divine and Eternal Essence as the Holy Family. Initially, the soul-seed is with no observable attributes. If one could see a new soul-seed, it would appear as pure transparent water flowing downward within the boundaries of a pristine glacial stream. This water is so pure that every detail of the stream bed is perceived.

“The soul-seeds are formed, as divine channels and vessels, to be recognised, cherished, and used by the resident human personality to give it form and purpose. I use the term form, but as the soul-seed is aphysical, we must not see it as a physical or dream body. Instead, one should imagine that the human personality can impress its nature to individualise the resident soul-seed. Think of it as an invisible pattern that can act.

“However, the soul-seed will only accept the highest parts of human nature, consistent with spiritual love for one’s neighbour. It is almost impossible for a new human personality to do so because of its evolutionary egoism, so the soul-seed remains dormant. Another life wasted.

“When the creature dies physically, the original soul-seed is given to another newbie in its original pristine form. Their psychic, or oneirion, body passes into the Dreamtime and eventually dissolves.

“The key to reincarnation in the human realms is to impress one’s highest personas onto the soul-seed, for only the soul-seed can move from one life into another. Gabriel calls these three higher personas deputy steward, steward, and master in ascending order. As superficial, egotistical, and ungodly persons cannot merge with the soul-seed, they cannot reincarnate. If they could gain immortality, the world would be lost forever.

“Once a new conscious personality merges with their soul-seed, the miracle of reincarnation, or transformative resurrection, occurs of the prior human psyche. This is the resurrection the Holy Son taught when he was the Christ on earth.

“The miracle of resurrection provides the potential of birthing an evolving Immortal Self, what Lord Buddha called a stream-enterer. He was incorrect in his speculation that all creatures are born again in a form structured by their previous existence, as he refused to speculate precisely what travelled from life to life. The purpose of the True Self is to perfect Itself to help others find and impress their higher thoughts and feelings upon their soul-seed.

“The birth of an Immortal Self occurs when a higher persona cluster desires to forge a bond between itself and the soul-seed. So that the soul-seed will keep the best qualities of the personality to prepare for a new life in the present and after the physical transition.

“What comprises a reincarnating self is a line of quasi-continuity. If one reincarnates sufficiently, they will perceive their beginning but see no end, for they have entered the first eternity. This line is a shadow of Brahman Unmanifest, perceived by the immortal as what connects one line to the next. It is not a who am I, Self. But what a Self really is.

“As they continue functioning as angelic agents of Brahman Manifest, this line solidifies until they attain universal eternity in one life as a unique frequency of the Rebirth Godhead.

“But to become resonant with the Source, an immortal must seek what they were before the first incarnation.

“Do you two understand, my dears,” asked Sister Anges Louise?

I said,  “I understand, Granny.

The liberation of self,

Requires the killing of self,

A killing in lovingkindness done.

And with the killing of self,

All illusionary labels, attributes,

Mindsets, emotions, biases,

Petty loves and hates are no more.

Self was never a Who,

Old Buddha’s anatta rings true.

The totality of the universe, anicca,

impermanent and endlessly changing.

What is, is the What,

A luminous line beginning,

With one auspicious birth,

Extending forward into,

Future births in temporal timeness.

One line connecting a first,

Realised point-life dispersed throughout,

A transfinite four-space,

Dotted with the vastness of transient mortal lives,

Protozoa onto universal Immortals.

But What was before the stream-enterer’s birth?

For this, one must awaken into the Unborn,

Having no beginning and no end.

The line feels the same, always,

The I is continuity itself,

Forever existing in the Source.

Both Sisters looked at each other, astonished. There was a silence which seemed an eternity.

Finally, Sister Agnes Louise took a deep breath, saying, “Miguel, how do you know this? It is beyond all known theologies and teachings. It seems to be the definitive answer to all questions.”

“I don’t know how I know; I just know so many answers to questions when they arise. I think God just tells me because he loves and appreciates me. Does it matter how? I just trust God, Gabríel, and Ariel. If people knew they were safe with God and trusted God, they would be happy.

“But we can continue with your lesson, Granny. I know what Gabriel wants you to know. We can say that each human being has many forms of me. The subjective forms of me arise because our mind-brains create a virtual self which contains every persona we unconsciously introjected into our virtual mind-brain growing up. During the day, different personas take control of our working egotic apparatus depending on our current environment. They come to life because our working egotic apparatus adds the feeling of being present or existing to the persona connected to the ergoegotic apparatus. However, as our environment changes, so do our active personas, causing much inconsistency in our intentions and actions.

“This means none of us possess a unified personality or ego per se. Modern and ancient idealisations of self are incorrect. We all share evolutionary ergoegotic apparatuses.

“The objective form of me is called me, as it is the body which experiences a perturbation, be it motor, emotional, or verbal, provided by an external object or another person. Grammatically, we call the receiver of a perturbation the indirect or direct object of a sentence.

“So, as the ego-me, or physical personality, grows in strength and realises the actions it is authoring, the feeling of an independent ego-I is born. An ego-I which feels that it has a life beyond that of the physical body. The mystics and magi call this ego the psychic, kesdjan, or oneirion self. Gabriel prefers the name, oneirion, as the conscious ego-I forms only after a person experiences their dreams as an alternative world.

“Such dream worlds become universal when many people start to dream, and so populate a shared Dreamtime under evolutionary restraints. Gabriel says the Holy Ones planned the three primary world forms available in any Universe from Being and Space. The job of mankind and other conscious creatures is to develop the scenery and peoples of the Dreamworld.

“Based upon Gabriel’s Codex, the oneirion self is the foundation of the True Self. As a person incarnates, higher knowledge and feelings are grafted upon the soul-seed, forming the nidus for the final, immortal self, the True Self.

“This is why our Beloved Brother, Lord Jesus, told his followers that even they could be as he is, or maybe more. Your True Self is the enduring ‘I’ within, moving from one incarnation to another. Your human personality is not the ‘I’ within but is only the feeling of ‘Me’ as a psychosomatic creature. This ‘Me’ is but the garments worn by the True Self.

“The True Self asks for opportunities to do the Holy Work. To provide strength and hope to the creature when he is afraid or weak, to help his creature forgo egoism for altruism. Some True Selves are wise and ancient; others are still young and learning.

“The Hermetic principle of each seeker having a fully evolved and enlightened Master Within is woefully incorrect. What is correct is that after the birth of one’s evolving True Self, the True Self merges with the psychosomatic self or personality. The joint unit gains internal access to the Noble Organ within the Higher World. The Noble Organ is the functional seat of the Six Pillars of Creation: direct knowing, observing, presence, transcendence, intending, and compassion,” as I finished the lesson Ariel gave me in my Dreamtime.

Both Sisters were amazed at the words which had come out of my young mouth. They just looked at each other and at me a few times.

The lesson finished as Anna Marie and I needed to go home. We hugged and kissed Granny, walking to the bus stop and were soon home.
