In Part One we talked about the archetype known as "The Lovers" or "The Choice Between Two Paths". We showed how the film "The Secret" is presenting a message that inadvertently aligns with the negative, or left-handed path… by inspiring you to approach your Higher Self as if it were a prostitute.

"The Secret" teaches you to approach your Higher Self and tell it what you want, how you want it, where you want it, how much you're willing to pay for it and what you expect to do when it's over.
This philosophy elevates the 'ego,' and it's own demands, to a Godlike level… as if you should go forth and seek whatever your heart desires, no matter how big the price tag, because the Universe is basically built to satisfy you… like a giant "cosmic gumball machine".
If the world's most powerful people are ALREADY using this Secret, so the philosophy goes, then why shouldn't you? The problem, as we explained in Part One, is that the world's most powerful people are doing a lot more than sitting and meditating for prosperity… they are killing, starving and exploiting untold numbers of people to maintain their vast riches.
Anyone who does this will be subject to the "slings and arrows of outrageous fortune," as the Choice Between Two Paths archetype explains. I have now seen very clearly in dreams that ALL the people doing the greatest wrong in the world at this time will be held publicly accountable for their crimes… and I expect this will happen well before 2012, on the totally visible world stage.
THE MAIDEN
The opposite approach — that of the positive path — is to approach your Higher Self as if it were a maiden.
Let's say you're the guy, and you want to 'get lucky'. With the prostitute you go, pay the fee, and get exactly what you want from her… but since it is illegal, you may end up getting hit with a few arrows as well.
If you want to connect with the maiden, it's not so simple. You have to LISTEN to her.
You have to dance with her… explore her needs… find out what she wants… and be willing to move with her own free will, so that the two of you can COMBINE your visions into a MUTUAL view of what you want. Only then do you consummate the relationship.
THE HIGHER SELF IS NOT THE EGO
The problem with philosophies like those in "The Secret" is they assume the 'ego' IS the Higher Self. There is no other authority to look to. You know what you want, and therefore that is what God wants. End of story!
This error in judgment is a classic mistake. This materialistic oversight is an experience that we are all intended to have, as it is written into the mind of the Galaxy. It is a growth experience we ALL must go through.
The Secret is at least teaching people to get to the point where they are aware of their power, and even though it nudges you towards the negative, I know for a fact that this film has had a positive impact on many people… namely because they read their pre-existing positive biases into it, though messages of service-to-others are strongly diminished, if not nearly eliminated in the actual finished product.
As you can see from reading my own life story, in "The Reincarnation of Edgar Cayce?" and throughout this Divine Cosmos website, the Higher Self is far from a passive participant in your life. What most people think of as the 'self' is a vastly insufficient explanation of their true identity.
To really 'get' what spirituality is about, part of that awakening is realizing that all time is ultimately simultaneous. Your brief lifespan on Earth in this incarnation is but a microsecond in your overall cosmic evolution. You have multiple incarnations, with very definite lessons to learn, and if you don't 'get it' in one lifetime, then you'll come back and repeat the class in future lifetimes, again and again, until the truth sinks in.
MAKING THE GRADE TO 'FOURTH DENSITY' IN 2011-2013
Furthermore, these lives become more and more interesting as you travel into the future and advance through the basic grades. Right now, Earth is moving into the next grade.
[This grade, or level, is called "fourth-density" in the Law of One series, a phrase that was coined years before other channelers borrowed the same lingo without crediting the original source.]
Whether you 'get it' or not, this event is coming… and an ever-increasing body of evidence supports statements in the Law of One series that 2011-2013 is the turning point for when this literal reality shift will take place. It is said to be a worldwide hyperdimensional event most people could never even begin to imagine, since it is so far outside the 'box' of what they already KNOW is 'real'.
[The phenomenon of interplanetary climate change is one of the strongest physical indicators that a huge energetic surge is, in fact, getting ready to happen — and I will soon have a page on this site that goes into the most concise synopsis of "the case" yet. Once you see how the same energy affects physical matter, AND living entities, AND the level of spiritual vibration and / or soul evolution, it becomes clear how an apparently uncorrelated physical event like an interplanetary climate shift could also be having an effect on many other levels we think of as spiritual.]
All you have to do, in order to qualify for life on Earth in 4D, is love people. Consistently. That's it.
If you want to get technical, and split hairs, then you need to be just slightly above 50 percent more interested in serving and helping others (love) than in manipulating and deceiving them for your own gain (control).
How many times each day do you think about others, rather than putting your own needs first, at their expense? Wouldn't it be a shame if you were so focused on making money… the Law of Attraction, applied towards the satisfaction of your physical desires… that you missed out on a much greater opportunity? Namely, to escape the mill of 3D reincarnation and GRADUATE from this difficult classroom you keep being born into?
[Many people DO get trapped in the material, accrue karma, and then require some very difficult lifetimes to try to re-balance themselves before the cycle ends. Hence you have large bodies of population you can incarnate into where you can have a very hard life and quickly burn off huge burdens of karma, which you probably accrued in the first place by manipulating, deceiving and controlling others for your own gain.
This is one way in which "bad things happen to good people", and why there is "wrong in the world". This absolutely does not make it 'right' to oppress people, though — you will still be accountable for any time you infringe on the free will of others.]
