Five Steps to Spirituality – Part 5

This is William LePar’s spiritual source, The Council’s, fifth step of the Five Steps to Spirituality.

The Council: If you take these five steps and apply them to your life, much spiritual growth can be accomplished.  In fact, one can accomplish a degree of spirituality that most have only dreamed of.

The next step in spiritual growth, this process, is:  Never accept any glories.  Remember, do what you must do.  Fulfill your responsibilities and your obligations in life.  Never wait around for that pat on the back.  Move on to your next challenge or your next step.  Many people who become involved in spirituality or in spiritual activities that are promoting spirituality make a problem for themselves.  It is bad enough that some of these people seek a reputation in the world, but it is even worse for these people when they seek a reputation among those people that they are involved with who may be attempting to bring a greater spirituality to others.  These spiritual movements are works dedicated to the Divine Source, and ultimately, these works are to bring glory to this Infinite Father.  Those who help are not permitted to take any part of those glories.  It is like this:  anyone who may serve or work for a commission, for what little bit of glory he can get out of it is a merchant, and he ought to be cast out of the temple. This can be applied to those money exchangers that are spoken of in the temple when the Christ them chased out.  They were not serving the people as a means of serving God; they were serving the people so that they could get their percentage out of it.

Remember, we must not be as the Pharisees were.  We must not stand before others beating our breasts and putting ashes on our forehead so that all may see how holy we are.  Do what you can do for others.  Do what you can for the Divine Source in the service to Him, but do not expect glories and praises.  All glories and praise belong to this Divine Source.  Those things that you can use in service for others and for the Divine are gifts that you have to help YOU grow, not to help you gain glories.

The Five Steps to Spirituality – Part 4

 This is William LePar’s spiritual source, The Council’s, fourth step of the Five Steps to Spirituality.

The Council: If you take these five steps and apply them to your life, much spiritual growth can be accomplished.  In fact, one can accomplish a degree of spirituality that most have only dreamed of.

The next step:  Never pass anything on about anyone else that will hurt him.  Remember, a tale bearer has no place in the Divine's favor.  If you know anything that would hinder or hurt the reputation of one of God's children, bury it forever.  Wipe it from your mind and from your thoughts.  Remember, if you wish the Divine Source to be good to you, you must begin to be good to His other children.  Remember, the Divine Source invites you to a spiritual banquet, He invites you personally to sit at His table, but He expects you to have table manners.  He expects to teach you those table manners that you do not have, and remember He will not let you eat unless you obey the etiquette of the table that He has prepared for you.  Whatever you pass on that may hurt someone else, whatever little remark that you may carry that will hurt someone else you must immediately put away.  Bury it away so that it goes no further.  Do not add your own self to the hurt of others.  In the Divine Source's Eyes each of us is His child and He will not accept one child hurting another.

 

The Five Steps to Spirituality – Part 3

This is William LePar’s spiritual source, The Council’s third step of the Five Steps to Spirituality.

The Council: If you take these five steps and apply them to your life, much spiritual growth can be accomplished.  In fact, one can accomplish a degree of spirituality that most have only dreamed of.

The third step is: Never defend yourself.  If you insist on defending yourself, no one will come to your aid.  Your whole defense will depend on your abilities and on your strength.  This Divine Source will not help you to defend yourself if you choose that.  If you choose to defend yourself, He will let you do it.  If you turn your defense over to this Divine Source, He will defend you.  As this Divine Source once said to Moses in Exodus 23, "I will be an enemy unto thine enemies and an adversary to thine adversaries."  If you leave your defense to the Divine Source, your enemies shall be His enemies, your adversaries shall be His adversaries, and you will never need to defend yourself for He will be your shield and your armor.  Many of us will defend talents that we may have; we may defend the service that we give, we may defend the reputation that we have.  Your reputation is what people think of you.  It is hard to overcome the temptation of defending your own reputation, but we must refrain from such things.  Whenever something unpleasant is said about one or another, and they attempt to seek out the truth or the source of the story, it becomes a hopeless task.  One thing leads to another, and once the point is defended or challenged, it only opens the door for more untruthful things to be said, and so then one must run again to seek down the source.  So it becomes an unending chase.  You cannot truly defend yourself from your adversaries.  You cannot defend yourself completely and wholly.  Leave this defense to your Divine Maker.  When those seek to challenge your reputation or your talents or some service you may have to perform for others.  Let them challenge it.  Do not waste your time in trying to prove that their challenges are wrong.  Let them say what they will, and go about your good duty your good service, your good talents.  The Divine Source will defend you far better than you could ever defend yourself.

The Five Steps to Spirituality – Part 2

This is William LePar’s spiritual source, The Council’s, second step of the Five Steps to Spirituality.

The Council: If you take these five steps and apply them to your life, much spiritual growth can be accomplished.  In fact, one can accomplish a degree of spirituality that most have only dreamed of.

The second step is: Never own anything.  This does not mean that you cannot buy a new home or a new car or new clothing or jewelry or what have you.  This is meant in the sense of possessing these things.  You may not look upon these things as "This is mine."  All the goods of the material manifestation, all the riches of the world, belong to the Divine Source and are only loaned to you for your use and your spiritual growth.  This does not mean that those who have much must sell these things off or rid themselves of them.  You have a right to have these things.  You must remember that you are to use these things in your spiritual growth that they are only on loan to you and that they truly belong to the Divine Source.  If you realize that you do not own these things, you can be more at peace with yourself because you will have no need to worry about losing them since they belong to someone else.  You must turn over all that you think you own, such as property, cars, home, furniture, turn them over to the Infinite Father.  Remember, they are only yours to use.  He is loaning them to you.

Have you ever noticed some people who are very possessive of their material things?  An example:  A woman may own a very beautiful figurine or statue.  She adores this and thinks it is very precious, and then a day comes by, and someone accidentally knocks the figurine or statue over and breaks it.  Upon this, the woman looks at the shattered pieces and feels so disheartened.  Her sadness and resentment make her unhappy.  She is the type of woman who could very easily lose five years of her life over fretting at the loss of something that never belonged to her; yet she chose to possess it; she thought that it was hers.  Now, we have just said that the lady could very well lose five years of her life over such a thing.  We did not mean this literally.  It is our way of saying that such a woman could very easily become so upset and irritated that onlookers could very well assume that this broken figurine represented five years taken from her life.  Remember, all the materials, beauty and wealth and conveniences of the world are yours to have, to use.  They are not yours to own but to have and use.  Never own anything and that way nothing can ever be taken from you.  All those things that you have, give over to your Divine Source.  Realize that they are on loan to you and you will never have to fear losing them.  With this attitude they will keep them more securely in your possession, than if you try to own them yourself.

 The Five Steps to Spirituality – Part 1

 What we are about to present, are William LePar’s spiritual source, The Council’s, Five Steps to Spirituality. This information was given as a complete set at one trance session. The entire trance session is presented in six parts. We begin with The Council’s opening statement about the five steps and proceed to the first step.

The Council:  May the Peace and the Joy of the Infinite Father be upon you, and May his Light shine down upon you and around you and within you.

What we are about to give you are 5 Steps to Spirituality.  If you take these five steps and apply them to your life, much spiritual growth can be accomplished.  In fact, one can accomplish a degree of spirituality that most have only dreamed of.  What we will give you will be the five steps and a few basic guidelines to each step.  These guidelines can help you expand these steps even further.  If one makes a commitment to apply these five steps in their everyday life, we can guarantee that you will grow spiritually much more than you have ever dreamed.  We can guarantee that you will truly become a new and whole being.  You will be much closer to your Divine Source than you have ever dreamed possible.

The first step is the most important and is the one that takes a great deal of honesty with oneself.  One must deal with this first step as honestly as is humanly possible for all others build on this first step.

The first step is: What emotions or attitudes or thoughts are now presently separating me from my Divine Source?  Or what emotions, thoughts, or attitudes are not within the Divine Will?

When reviewing one's self, consider such things as jealousy. Are you a jealous person or are you jealous of other people?  Are you jealous of what others have?

Self-pity is another point to consider.  Do you feel as though you are not appreciated?  Do you feel that you are some undiscovered flower in an oasis in the middle of a desert that mankind has not yet been blessed to see and smell your sweet scent? This is self-pity.  Are you resentful?  Do you find yourself in a state of sputtering indignation most of the time?  Do you find that people do not appreciate you or feel that you are not appreciated, and does this bother you?  Do you feel that you should be appreciated more than what you are?

Temper.  Do you have an uncontrolled temper?  Does your temper lead you to spiteful activities or actions against others? Remember, if you do not get rid of your temper, then your temper will get rid of much of your spirituality and certainly all of your joy. These are just a few points that you may look at, but there are many others that one must consider.  What you are to do, as you look over these points, as you review yourself, you must be willing to admit to yourself that these truly are not godly activities or spiritual activities or activities that are within the Divine Will. Be honest with yourself.  Do not try to rationalize those things that you know about yourself.  Admit to yourself that these are acts of separation, that these are stumbling blocks between you and the return to your Divine Source and your rightful place within the Presence of your God.

The Essence of Spirituality, not just for Christians - An Inspiring Message from William LePar

 This important writing comes from William LePar interpretation of the Book of John Part 1 Chapter 1:12-13. What follows can be of great value to all.

So if you are a Gentile or Christian, you are in that particular expression or experience not by accident but because God has seen to it that you are there for a specific reason. For those with the belief system of the evolution of the soul, then you have gained the right to this easier evolvement towards your God or your at-one-ment. Those in the conventional belief system are reborn to the grace of Jesus Christ, to the grace of God. Anybody who is in the Western culture is not here by accident. You are here because of a direct intervention of God. Now you can say it is because you justly deserve that or because God for some reason feels you can handle the situation. That may not seem like much of a secret, but if you really grasp what I am saying, and that is about as far as I am going to go, if you really grasp what I am telling you, you will realize that it is something that has been overlooked too long. If you can accept that and the responsibilities that go with it, you have just begun to work, but the rewards will be well worth it because you will be able to leave this expression without any obligations whatsoever. You can reach that state of at-one-ment that is necessary. That was the true purpose of the New Covenant to eliminate the useless rules and regulations that were necessary under the Old Covenant to reach the at-one-ment. Again, if you are in a Western culture, this can be your last time around by living a Christ-like life, and that life means that you then become responsible not only for yourself but for everyone you come in contact with. You become a teacher as well as a student. You become in this expression a master in your own right, and as a master, the job or the duty of a master is not to sit around and collect bravos, but to be a servant, to teach others, to help others. That is a true master. The true master comes to serve, and if he is a master, then the only people he can serve are those that are under him so there is your principle of brotherly love. It is your duty to take care of your brother. If he is not in the same level as you are, it is your duty as a Christian or as a master to help him attain at least that level that you are at. You are not to wait around until he comes knocking on your door. 

Mary the Mother of Jesus – Her Death

According to historians, Mary’s last days were spent in Ephesus, but no remains have ever been found. William LePar’s spiritual source, The Council, explains why. 

 Questioner:  Did Mary die a physical death?

 The Council: No, how could she?

 Questioner:  Well, I don't know.

 The Council:  A clarification on that.  She did die, but she also ascended. There are no physical remains.  You see, what you must take into consideration with the Blessed Mother is that she was born without sin.  The Bible states that she was born without original sin, which means she did not succumb to the temptations of the adversaries, so that she had no purpose or she had no, shall we say, commitment to enter the physical.  She had no need to enter the physical other than that of service to her Father, to God.  Although she is considered the Mother of God and the Queen of Heaven, you have to consider a dual role for the Mother of God and, that is, she is also a son of the Godhead, yet a Mother to the Godhead.  It becomes extremely involved.  One may attempt to explain the situation this way.  There is more to come as far as your understanding of heaven goes and all that lies within.  It is recognized now that you have God the Father and God the Son.  Very well.  God the Father in His own Being is androgynous, but just as you have God the Father, you must also have a God the Mother, which Mary fulfills then.  So although both are androgynous, one is subservient to the other, in that the feminine, that one recognized as Mary would be subservient to God the Father. It becomes extremely involved and complicated.  The Queen of Heaven is not equal to the Father of Heaven.  

Editor's note: Some of us have visited the site where her home was supposed to be. The story that we were told was that she was buried in a cave a short distance from her house but when people visited the cave later, there was no body, only lilies around the place where she was laid.
