Greed, the Environment and Drugs

 Can we be so muddle-headed, really, so muddle-headed that we are destroying everything around us that supports our very existence? That’s been the warning for a very long time about mankind’s abuse of the physical environment.

The battle, so to speak, rages on. Some victories for the environment, after so many defeats – yet the powers that be continue the assault against common sense and sanity, so the environment that sustains us is still at grave risk.

Actually, there is really only one power that threatens our very existence: Greed. To get geekish about it, we could compare greed to the “One ring to rule them all, one ring to find them. One ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them.” (Kudos to JRR Tolkein.)

The Council, the union of souls who conversed with physical man through the catatonic trance states of William Allen LePar, boiled down mankind’s woes to that one cause. Greed. Without much reflection, anyone with an ounce of sense can see that it is true. No matter the symptom, the disease is greed. However, it is critical to remember that, just like the old saying about charity, greed begins at home. We do not just have a physical environment to care for, to nurture, so that we may live. We have a spiritual environment as well, and it is the damage to that environment, due to the disease in that environment, that manifests across the board, in all aspects of our lives.

The spiritual environment for all begins with the spiritual environment of the self. The more effectively that we care for, and nurture the environment of self, the better off the world. The less selfish, the less greedy, we make ourselves, the better off the world. And there is no such thing as a small improvement, a small contribution, to the spiritual health of the self and of the world. Every bit of improvement is another spiritual candle lit against the darkness.

All this may seem like ponderous pontification to get to one precise point. But here is that one point, illuminated by comments from The Council: Mankind’s legalization of recreational marijuana is a deadly mistake.

While The Council provided much insight to benefit the physical aspects of life, their target was and is the spiritual growth and survival of all. The physical is brief; it will end. The spiritual is forever, and how the soul experiences forever is determined by how the soul utilizes the physical.

At a LePar/Council trance session, a questioner asked if the recreational use of drugs in moderation was acceptable. The Council’s response:

“As we have said before, it is totally unacceptable. Any drug used for anything other than medical purposes is out of the question, and to change your laws to accept such an activity is causing a karmic situation that will backfire in all of your faces in the future, as it is beginning to do so now. So, although some of you may approve of such activities, at a spiritual level they are completely out of the question. If the truth were known about many of your problems or drugs today, none of you would take them in any way, shape, or form.”

That question and response was from 1985!

The emphasis was added, although no emphasis of anything said by The Council should be necessary. As previously mentioned, their goal was and is to help us comprehend our spiritual reality so that we may escape the clutches of that “One Ring” – greed.

The Tunnel during the Death Experience – Part 2

This is a continuation of the previous posting. William LePar’s spiritual source, The Council, is discussing what occurs initially after we cross over.

Questioner:  You talk about different levels.  How many levels are there before you get to the gates of heaven?

The Council:  It would be wise if you were to tell us what you mean by the gates of heaven.

Q:  Well, how long does it take before you see the Father?

C:  Well, we cannot tell you in time.  In other words, we cannot say it takes a year or two years or a month or a week, because there is no time.  If we could make a comparison a thousand years is but a second, and a second is a thousand years.  So there would be no way of explaining it.

Q:  Well, you said the tunnel and the lights and everything is more or less like one level of dying, is that correct?

C:  No, this is not one level of dying.  This is, shall we say, the entrance.  This is where you just begin to come into the home.

Q:  What comes after that?  This is what I want to know.

C:  Then if it is to be a final departure, from there then the review of your life situation takes place.  The full intensity of it takes place and all the things that you have done that have harmed others or inhibited others you become totally aware of, the furthest extending fragment of your action is reviewed before you.

Q:  Who's reviewing this with you?

C:  It can be any number of people or beings.  Whatever is necessary for you to have a greater awareness of what you have done.  You certainly have heard of St. Peter at the Pearly Gates; it is quite possible that Peter could review your life with you.  It is quite possible that your mother or your father or your sister or your aunt could review the situation, your life, with you.  It is quite possible the Lord could review your life with you.  It all depends on what you need.  Do you understand?

Q:  Who decides what you need at those times?

C:  Whatever would give you the greatest comfort.  Who decides? Basically, all the accomplished beings in concert with the Divine Father choose.

Q:  This review of your life, is it just bad things that you've done to people and to yourself, or is it everything that has been done throughout your life?

C:  From the second of birth, the moment you leave the mother's womb, to the final second of your earthly experience.  Everything.  Nothing is left undiscovered.

Q:  And what happens after this review?

C:  Then the joy or the remorse takes hold.  This is something then that cannot even begin to be explained.  You see, you put yourself in a state of self-condemnation, self-punishment, where you bemoan your deeds and your actions that were uncharitable, unloving, and this is a process that you and you alone must deal with.  You must cleanse yourself, you must polish your facets yourself.  Of course, there are those who will support you in those times of greatest need.  They will give you encouragement.

Q:  Is this like Purgatory as the Catholics know it?

C:  Well, one could use such a term, but Purgatory is, shall we say, kind of an ambiguous term. It might be likened in this respect to Purgatory in that this self-condemnation, this self-punishment, is not eternal.

The Tunnel During the Death Experience - Part 1

This discussion between a researcher and William LePar’s spiritual source, The Council, delves into the details of what we experience when we first cross over after death whether it is a permanent leaving or a pre-death experience.

Questioner:  The after death experience that some people have had that is being written about.  They go through a tunnel.  Some of them meet their loved ones and religious friends and they see what they refer to as a city of light. They see the lights.  He wanted to know if this area that is referred to as the city of lights, heaven or the area around it, is heaven?

C:  In other words, what you are asking is the city of lights or that area that the city of light is in, is this heaven, is that the question?

Q:  Yes.

C:  The experience of going through a tunnel, the noises, the leaving the body and then the tunnel effect, the noises, the meeting of loved ones, the religious figures, and in some cases the feeling of a city of lights, this is, shall we say, an indoctrination period.  You must try to understand that even though you as a soul may be imperfect and even though you may not reach perfection and be somewhat less than perfect the magnitude of the soul is such that the initial conscious awareness would be too overpowering. Now we say conscious awareness; let us say the first state of consciousness after the death experience.

The total awareness of your own being would be overwhelming, so there is a gradual weaning away from the three-dimensional or material attitudes to the truer realities. Now this does take, what you would call, time, yet time after or time beyond what you know physical time is in no way related. Yet so that that soul has some way of understanding or relating to the experience then there is a certain time element allowed or a certain perspective of time allowed in these experiences. This area by no means is heaven. What it is basically is that realm which we have referred to in the dissertation that is the very first realm, so those that have not attached themselves to that realm, those who have weaned themselves out of that mumbo-jumbo of existence are capable of viewing it, so to speak, only in relationship to their personal experiences in life. In other words whatever segment of that they may have touched on, then those segments from that level are allowed, shall we say, in this outskirt level or outskirted area, so that there will be some understanding or some way of perceiving what is going on. These death experiences as they are called are for a purpose:  to give credence to the belief of an afterlife and also to make individuals aware that there is a review of your life.  We have spoken before of self-condemnation, and to be sure when death does come, when you do finally go through the veil, then the real review of your experiences comes to you, and, of course, you are guided by a spiritual being, and that review is much more agonizing than what you can believe.  Even those who have had a partial experience, that has been toned down because they could not cope with the remorse and the self-condemnation that would be involved in it.  So this experience is mellowed to a great degree and is presented in such a way so as you can relate to it in your physical state.  This by no means is heaven.  The city of lights or the city of light that is questioned can best be understood as your ability at that time to see the real levels of existence that the Divine Creator originally had intended for you to experience and not those lower levels that man has created; and in this then you could say beyond that city of lights or, shall we say, going into the walled city to be sure would be entering heaven or paradise.  This would then bring you to the second level.  As to what you can accept at this moment or what would be, shall we say, easier to understand, this area that has been experienced by some and spoken about by some is not heaven really but beyond then would be heaven. This is the area, shall we say, we could refer to as the foyer.

Q:  Does everybody experience this?

C:  Oh, to be sure, yes. You see there is a vast difference between the physical manifestation and your spiritual reality. If you will recall the example we gave of the individuals sitting around the table, sitting on the circumference of this table and sitting in small booths.  It is just like being locked in a small dark booth, and then all of a sudden opening the door and being engulfed in extremely bright light; you cannot see, you know; you are blinded. You have no ability to move ahead, so you must stay in that little compartment until the light is subdued, and then the door is opened, and you can come out and see where you are to walk. So this area can be understood in the same manner. It is an area where your spiritual awareness or your spiritual eyes is given time to adjust to the true reality.  You can put, shall we say, days on it as far as earthly time, but even in that dimension or in that awareness there is no real time.  It should be easily understood that those people who have, shall we say, crossed through the veil and then returned that possibly they had experienced quite a few experiences that in normal awarenesses would have taken considerable time, and yet they were only dead for, shall we say, minutes.  So you see time beyond the physical is something entirely different, and that is how the precognitive psychic experience is really experienced.  It is not an experience of the physical dimension or the physical reality, but it is actually an experience of the spirit.
