Session 558

Seth Speaks, Appendix, Session 558

We have known several people who were monks in a previous experience.  Now. (To Ron): In a life in the east before the time of Christ, 1200 B.C., you were a member of a body of men who belonged to an esoteric heritage.  You were wanderers and traveled also through Asia Minor.

You carried with you in your heads messages and laws that had been given to one of your kind in a time that was already nearly forgotten.  These were codes of ethics.  They originated from the time of Atlantis.  Before that, these codes were given by a race from another star.  This race had to do with the origin of Atlantis.  The messages were put into words and language and written down at the time of Atlantis, but after that they were handed down by word of mouth.

Your people learned from their elders, and they were called Speakers.  You were a Speaker.  This is why you find it so easy to call others your brothers.  Now: Three men in particular under you (in the manufacturing plant where Ron holds a supervisor’s position), were part of that original band of men.  Your wife, your daughter-in-law and your son were also members of that band.  Your wife and your daughter-in-law, however, were brothers.

You traveled through Asia Minor in a time of great turmoil, and wherever you went you spoke – which means you gave utterance to the ethics.  It took you twelve years of training to memorize this code of ethics.

Now later the Essenes were involved.  I am not sure of the word.

(Ron’s wife, Grace: “Seth, did we fulfill our purposes in that time?”)

In that existence, yes.  There was turmoil within the group, disagreement.  There was disagreement over the meaning of the words that were recalled.  The group became divided.  One portion of the group traveled to the land we now call Palestine, and the other migrated, in the next century, appearing in southern Europe.

There was a major distortion having to do with Bael.  A group gathered together with Bael as their idea of God.  You (Ron) were with the other group.  There was a city in a jungle – Messini as nearly as I can translate it.  In Asia Minor, and fragments of a past civilization were then there.  A new city was built which in its turn also disappeared.  There were writings on rocks, however, as the old messages were once again put into written symbols.  But your people were gone, and you are only now finding them again.

In your terms, and in your terms only, the coming of Christ was the Second Coming.  In those terms – and, again, this is important – in those terms only, he appeared at the time of Atlantis, but the records were destroyed and forgotten except in the memory of a few who survived.

Now, again in those terms, he is an entity who appears time and time again within your physical system, but he has been recognized on only two occasions.  Once in Atlantis, and once in the Christ story as it has come down to you in all of its distortions.  He appears and reappears therefore, sometimes making himself known and sometimes not.  He was not one personality, as I have told you, but a highly developed entity, sometimes appearing as a fragment of himself.

In your terms he eternally weaves himself within the fabric of your time and space, born again and again into the world of flesh, being a part of it while also independent of it, even as you are all a part of it but independent of it.
