Chapter 5: The "Religion" of Atlantis
NOTE: Videos of readings of Ch. 5 in its entirety at bottom (words & audio)
Religion for Religion's sake
Even many religions that started with good intentions, degenerated over time into self-serving power structures whose main function was to control people, and make money.
Most offer their members personal salvation through following the religion's tenets (beliefs, rituals, and dogma). Also to fill an emotional or psychological need in people's hearts & minds. Some religions control by using people's insecurity, and have even been formed based on the insecurity of an ignorant society. Some have been formed based on faith, or the moral ideas of the religion's founder. Some based on visions or insights of a great spiritual teacher. Others provide a more direct means for personal salvation, within the framework of dogma.
A Religion that is Not a Religion
While the Children of the Law of One is a spiritual "way", and also a monastic order, it is somewhat like a religion. But there is no control. Not even an attempt to influence, only to educate & reflect the truth.
The Fall
The records describe us as being spiritual or "angelic" beings, free to roam, create, and enjoy the Universe. The teachings go on to say that our beginnings on Earth, came in 2 steps - a "1st Wave" & "2nd Wave" of "human" (& semi-human) materialization into physical bodies on Earth. At the time, we had the ability to instantly create anything we desired, with a mere thought. It was in this way that we "thought ourselves" into matter, into material existence on Earth. Which began our fall from angelic state, and Oneness with God.
The first wave beings materialized as partly human/partly animal creatures. There was no "rebellion" or defiance against the will of God until AFTER this fall. "Fallen angels" took many different part animal forms. For ease of description, we shall call them "humanimals". These humanimals suffered a great "fall" in vibration from their previous spiritual, angelic state of existence. They instantly experienced a near total loss of consciousness, awareness, and intelligence. The new limited consciousness of these pitiful creatures, "trapped" them on the physical plane of the Earth, where they had to live in ignorance, with their animal-like intelligence & awareness. This separate consciousness gave birth to a sort of separate free will, which was ignorantly used selfishly, rather than in harmony with the will of God.
Evil is spawned by selfishness.
Ultimately, they would also be trapped in slavery.
Those who did not "fall" were still in their angelic state and watched all this happen to the first wavers. The CLO's Grand Master (known today for his last incarnation as Jesus) organized & led a rescue mission. Those who took great risk to help the humanimals were the second wavers. They knew materializing was dangerous & they had to be careful how they did this, and be careful about how deeply they went into physical matter, or they too would become trapped in limited consciousness.
The ape-like early human form was actually just eventually chosen by 2nd wavers as the preferred type of physical vehicle to model themselves after, because it allowed for the greatest control & manipulation in the physical plane, that would be required to help the 1st wavers. That is why "scientists" cannot find the "missing link" - because there simply is none.
Many alleged "scientists", have sneakily insinuated, and taught the "theory" of evolution of humans from apes, as FACT, even when they have a huge gap or missing link. And on the flip side of the evolutionist theories, many religions have followers, and thus money & power at stake. Unlike both of these categories, the CLO have nothing at stake, nothing to prove, nothing to lose or gain, since they don't make money or get power from the teachings they present.
The Creation of The Children of the Law of One
In order to accomplish this "rescue", 2 things had to be done:
1) Methods had to be devised that would help the humanimals REGAIN their spiritual consciousness & awareness of Oneness with the Universal Spirit;
2) Methods had to be devised for the 2nd wavers to MAINTAIN their spiritual consciousness & awareness of Oneness with the Universal Spirit.
Thus, the spiritual order of the Children of the Law of One was founded with a very specific & unique purpose. The whole point of the CLO's spiritual path, was to be able to enter the material plane so they could help the 1st wavers, while maintaining their own spiritual consciousness & angelic state, so they wouldn't get trapped also.
Falling Again
Some of the 2nd wavers, lured by selfish desires, turned away from the CLO's spiritual path. They then lost spiritual awareness, and separated from Oneness with God. Ultimately, this division created 2 "religious" or "philosophical" groups in Atlantis with very different purposes & "politics" - the Sons of Belial & the Children of the Law of One.
The Sons of Belial mimicked the CLO in many ways, even in the sense of being "spiritual" or "religious". But their "religious practices" were mockeries of true spirituality - phony, empty, and self-serving. They would use "prayer" & visualization to attain whatever they wanted, and they turned a blind eye to what the repercussions of getting what they wanted would have on others. Some popular present-day religions, are offspring of the Belialian religion. And then there are the secret societies that still practice their original ways.
The most significant contention between the CLO & Sons of Belial was over what to do about the humanimals. The humanimals were easily controlled by the powers of the 2nd wavers mind, and they could be made to do anything just through visualization. The Belialians wanted to use humanimals as "pet slaves". The Children, however, still wanted to help return the humanimals to their higher state of consciousness. Thus the CLO became "activists", and their goal as a group "movement" was still to free their trapped kin, but now they had to contend with other 2nd wavers who had "gone bad".
Even the best of the CLO eventually succumbed to some degree, to the separation from the Universal Spirit. But that is another story, which involves the allegory of Adam & Eve.
While part of the CLO's goal was eventually achieved (the humanimals were freed from their entanglement after the destruction of Atlantis), freedom from darkness & slavery has not been fully accomplished. The age old struggle between the Children & Belialians - the struggle of freedom against slavery, still continues. These days slavery can be in many forms: traditional, economic, socio-political oppression, imprisonment, & mental programming. The world is basically populated by 5 groups: Children of the Law of One, Sons of Belial, reincarnated "lost soul" 1st & 2nd wavers, and the enlightened.
Belialians, like all of us, have continued to reincarnate, and live in modern human bodies. But they are so evil, those of us who are sensitive to it can sense or feel that. This can sometimes even be physically or intuitively seen as being reptilian-like, or as the old teachings call it, "lizard-like". Lifetime after lifetime, they maintain their maniacal drive for power & agenda of slavery & domination. They are trained in the ways of using visualization & ritual to practice their dark magic. They will use physical force to dominate & control if necessary, but mental programming through education, media, peer pressure, or other means has been extremely successful - and parents continue to pass their own programming on to their children also. But anyone whose agenda is control of others, is either Belialian, or one of their pawns.
So the CLO's work continues on & now, because of the time & situation, Jon Peniel was tasked with publicly revealing the teachings of the CLO, and heralding the coming spiritual changes.
To reinforce & strengthen the Inner Being, while attacking & starving the selfish separate self, is the CLO's constant function & duty.
Cross Cultures
Unlike other traditions & religions, the CLO's teachings lack any emphasis on religious dogma and have no cultural embedding. The universality of the teachings & methods easily adapt to those individuals from any culture, who have an open mind, and are truly spiritually inclined. Thus, it is a path that is readily accessible & useful to people from any land, if they wish to take advantage of it.
A Natural Spiritual Path based on Universal Laws
Jon's next course involved how the Atlantean teachings came about, and what they were based on. It was to be given by the elder monk Zarathustra (originally from Germany). He worked with Jon in some very sophisticated vibrational experiments (which gave him the foundation for his later vibrational studies & developments). He had a great scientific insight into such matters, and was perfect for teaching this course.
The beliefs & teachings of the CLO were not based on faith. Most of the basis of them came from Atlantis, and practices are simply gleaned from the "scientific facts" of Universal Laws. Thus, even today, understanding the substance of even the "ancient" beliefs, requires no faith, but rather a certain quality of "intuitive logic". There is no more powerful way to change your life in a real & lasting way, than to directly EXPERIENCE Universal Consciousness, and thus experience & know Oneness with the Universal Spirit/God.
The ancient Atlantean teachings offer us a way to understand the effects of Universal Laws on our lives, and thus a way to benefit from them. As opposed to other religious orders, it is a "natural" religion, or more appropriately, a natural spiritual path. It is based on the nature of the Universe. It encourages knowing & experiencing the Universal Spirit yourself, and becoming one with it.
"Science-Magic"
It has been said that all the teachings of the CLO, are based within "Science-magic". Our Atlantean ancestors easily manipulated vibration, using thought, within a framework of scientific facts. "Magic" & "miracles" were the scientific workings of spiritual forces on physical matter. For instance, they understood that psychic phenomenon, electricity, magnetism, gravity, light, sound, space, time & such, were all related, and aspects of the same thing, and all followed Universal Laws. What is real "magic" other than creating or altering energy, and matter, which is comprised of energy? Visualization, for instance, works like magic. To the CLO, this use of the mind to create physical reality, is just a simple fact of Universal Law science, and a very fundamental one.
Complex Ideas with a Simple Message
Even though there is so much intellectual knowledge being presented, in practice, it is all balanced with feeling. For the very essence of this path is very clear, and very simple - UNSELFISH LOVE. Everyone can understand the healing & good that come from kindness, compassion, caring, giving, harmlessness (the virtues of Unselfish Love). For Jon [and so far for me, Hilary], the ancient teachings filled in many holes in his understanding. He grew more excited every day as he learned more, grew more, and the pieces fell into place.
Coming up Against your Pre-conceived Beliefs
No matter how you view the teachings, in certain ways it doesn't really matter, does it? The CLO would like to live in peace with you, and have you Love me too, regardless of what we believe or don't believe. As long as we don't hurt each other, and help each other when in need, who cares what "beliefs" we have. And Jon believes that's what's most important, because he knows that Unselfish Love is always beneficial.
Unfortunately, a person's beliefs do greatly influence how they think and act though. One day Jon was struggling with his doubts & ego...questioning his beliefs, and trying to sort some things out. His personal teacher Zain said,
"Regardless of whether or not you believe it, your beliefs control your destiny, so they need to be closely scrutinized for what they create in your life. What you think and believe greatly affect whether or not you are a saint, an evil monster, and everything in between (like a somewhat kind person, or a somewhat mean person.)...The actions we take because of our beliefs, have effects. And only the effects, the results, of those actions, are things we can see, feel, and grasp. This is very important to realize...For instance, if you are kind to me because you believe we are all brothers & sisters, your kind actions are something real, something we can both know is good. Kind actions are transcendent of language, culture, and whatever you or I may believe is spiritual truth."
Any individual who wants to grow, attain enlightenment, or be a really good person, must completely re-evaluate their beliefs in the light of the effects those beliefs have, where they come from, and why.
