Golden Keys
Two: A series of literature (booklets) which contains questions from
many people who wrote their question to Maitreya and their answers
from Him. Each of these questions and answers are like a Golden Key
which open a door to a greater understanding of Him and His
teachings. This one if the second one in this series.
GOLDEN KEYS II
INTRODUCTION
These
small booklets contain answers given by Maitreya and one of His
close disciples to questions which have been asked in the letters He
received from many. Each question and its answer is like a little
Golden Key to unlock the meanings of His Mission and teachings a
little further.
The
questions are separated into categories. After the question and
answer, there may be a reference to the books in The Holiest
Of The Holies (THOTH), The Last Testament or The Plan,
the main writings of Maitreya.
We hope
these booklets answer all questions you might have. If not, please
send your questions to us. Maitreya will answer your questions, if
appropriate, directly to you. We will use answers which are not a
repetition in new Golden Keys
and will publish them periodically.

THE FEMALE AND MARRIAGE
1- What about the feminine aspect in
THOTH?
Many
make a mistake between feminine aspect in the universe with the
female body. We still identify with our bodies and physical universe
to explain all things. This is the reason for confusion.
Female
aspect in
THOTH is The Divine Grace or The Divine Mother (The
Holy Ghost) which permeates all things and is the counterpart of the
male aspect (Divine Logic). Together they create a balance and a
whole being.
2- What are the feelings about intermarriage?
Intermarriage between races will create new bodies with new
biological set-ups for new experiences for those who are ready now
to go through those kinds of experiences. Also with these new
teachings of creation and history, man should understand the
realities behind this universe and realize that God is ALL, and also
should not misuse His powers. So intermarriage, acceptance of one
language for the whole world, and following God’s Laws, will cause
man to destroy all narrowness of the mind and prejudice about the
differences of race, creed and language.
3- How do you feel about abortion?
Never
should this be done for economical reasons. The body in the womb is
especially created for a special soul. By destroying it you destroy
a great chance for that soul. This will interfere with God’s doings.
In the
situations where the life of the mother is in danger, the fetus is
dead, or rape, abortion is recommended. It should be done with a
clear conscience.
4- Can both male energy and female energy be present in one
being?
Male
energy is the Logic in the universe and female energy is Grace. That
is why these two polarities can both be manifested even in one body
as an androgynous person. It is these kinds of people who are being
created more in our generation and their numbers will continue to
grow.
ENERGY AND
LAWS
1- Please give your feelings on karma.
Any
action creates a reaction which remains in the universe. Bad actions
create bad reactions and good actions create good reactions.
The
Laws of cause and effect and karma are a factor in reincarnation.
Repentance, correction of the action, and learning what one should
have learned, will result in the disappearance and dissolution of
the karma (Universal Memory, forgiveness by God).
2- What is the best and rapid way to "clean" the karma?
To
become a channel for Him; To do His will.
3- What are the cosmic laws (Dharma, virtues)?
To
follow the nature (Dharma) of all things. The word "Dharma" means
"innate nature." Any subject in this world has a nature. Also as the
subjects become more complicated they will become multi-natured
(they will have more than one Dharma).
4- What are the three gunas?
They
are the creative forces in the universe, and also the three parts of
the Universal Mind and individual mind. In Judeo-Christian theosophy
they are known as Gabriel (satva guna), Michael (raja guna) and
Lucifer (tama guna). (Read "The Three Gunas" in Essays I
in THOTH).
5- What does the word
M (Maitreya) Scientific
Theory mean?
M
(Maitreya) Scientific Theory is
Science based on Spirit
understanding (Science of Creation). Because this science is in
harmony with nature, it will not create the side effects (like
pollution, disturbance of the balance in nature, etc.) of the
conventional science.
Man has
to relearn this science. This science was known at the time of the
Atlanteans, but they misused it and brought destruction on
themselves. We have to learn not to misuse this science and learn
the lessons of history as explained in
THOTH
so that we might receive this knowledge back.
The
latent spiritual consciousness in the state of unawareness
(ignorance) at the base of the spine at the first chakra. It is also
called the "sleeping serpent". Only when the kundalini has been
awakened and risen to higher chakras (from the lower self, the first
three chakras) to the higher chakras (connected back to the source),
can the true spiritual knowledge be gained by His Grace. Then such a
person sees the light of the kundalini, not only within but
everywhere.
In
most cases a knowledgeable teacher is necessary to awaken this
latent spiritual force. Of course through the Grace of God it can be
done even without a teacher. One’s past lifetimes and endeavors are
also considered.
2- What is meant by chakras?
Chakras mean spiritual centers in the body. These centers consist of
etheric elements. All kinds of propensities, such as anger, vanity,
shame, spiritual longing, mercy, etc., reside in them.
There are seven chakras which are recognized in the body. The lower
the center the more animalistic the propensities. The higher the
chakra the greater Divine qualities are manifested.
Through meditation and by His Grace, the kulakundalini (latent
spiritual force in the first chakra) can be aroused. The higher the
kundalini is risen the greater will be the control of the lower
propensities and eventually they will be mastered. The less the
lower propensities the more Divine a person would be. In raising the
kulakundalini, besides meditation, reading the words of God are very
helpful.
3- What is your belief on Astral Projection?
The
highest realization is to know the Formless, Invisible, Nameless,
Eternal (FINE) God. FINE is beyond the ethereal factor. He is pure
consciousness. Astral projection is done in the ethereal factor
(Spirit). Therefore it is not of the highest form of spiritual
achievement.
Also
in the etheric level you can create anything by your thoughts and/or
become in touch with beautiful etheric beings. These all can become
a trap on your path to FINE. However, if astral traveling came to a
person naturally it can be used for spiritual progress of the self
and others.
The
greatest achievement of spiritual progress is to create Love,
Compassion, Mercy, Humility and all the essential qualities of pure
consciousness (soul).
4- What techniques do you suggest for my spiritual progress?
There are many techniques that have been given throughout the world.
However, recommendations and guides are given in Essays III
in THOTH.
VISIONS, IMAGES AND
DREAMS
1- What is the difference between visions and images?
Images are nothing but the production of an individual’s own
consciousness and they are created by the concentrated mind.
Visions are the production of a scene to give a message to a person
or to make him truly believe in the revelation which has come to
him.
2- What are the three kinds of visions, images and dreams?
The
first type are those which have no meaning, are scattered, and are
useless.
The
second type are the ones which are related to day-to-day life and
problems.
The
third kind are those from the unconscious mind (spiritual world)
which have a spiritual and higher message for the individual. This
message has a universal scope and is a spiritual message. The person
can then become the messenger (channel) to convey this message to
others. (Read "Visions, Images and Dreams" in
Essays II in THOTH.)
3- Do the dreams of Daniel in the Bible have any
historical/spiritual significance?
In
addition to their spiritual lessons and the importance of the
symbols, the main point to focus on is that from about two thousand
three hundred years ago a period of intellectual development would
follow. (Read Commentaries on Prophecies in Daniel, "Period of
Intellectual Domination" in THOTH.)
MT. ZION AND CENTERS
(COMMUNITIES)
1- What is meant by the KOHIH?
KOHIH means "The Kingdom of Heaven in Heaven," or pure
consciousness, or all the forces and sons of God whom He uses to
guide His universe to pure consciousness. Those who reach pure
consciousness will come back to this world and in different levels
and places to help humanity and the universe progress toward
perfection. They obey His Laws and accept their responsibilities
(with gladness and joy) in His Hierarchy (
)
no matter how small they may seem. (Read "The Kingdom of Heaven in
Heaven (KOHIH)" in Essays I in THOTH.)
2- Is the Kingdom of Heaven a state of consciousness?
In
The Greatest Sign it can be seen that there are three Kingdoms of
Heaven - The Kingdom of Heaven Within, the Kingdom of Heaven on
Earth (KOHOE) and The Kingdom of Heaven in Heaven (KOHIH).
3- What is meant by Mt. Zion?
A
symbol used in the Bible for the Hierarchy of the Kingdom of Heaven.
The human organizational structure is shown by a triangle upward (
),
but the organizational structure of the Kingdom of God is shown as a
mountain which is much more stable than human organization.
Organizational structure alone will not be enough for His Kingdom to
come. But justice also is necessary. That is why there is a triangle
downward (
)
as the counterpart for the Hierarchy (
).
This triangle (
)
symbolizes justice or Zion.
4- Is the temple to be built around the earth?
The
temples will be built around the earth in designated places.
5- What is a Community of Light?
A
Community of Light is a community which is formed based on the
Eternal Divine Path and the system described in Maitreya’s
teachings.
The
Hierachy will emerge from these Communities.
1- What do you mean by Elders?
Elders are those who through many incarnations have been prepared to
become channels for Him and manifest His qualities, and so can guide
others to the right path unto Him.
2- What is the meaning of Guru, Swami, Rishi, Saddhu, Master,
etc?
Spiritual teacher; One who can impart the knowledge of God to
others.
3- Who is Gabriel?
Gabriel (The Holy Ghost) revealed the knowledge of God and the
Akashic Records to the Prophets and those who are able to tune
themselves to the Universal Mind. It is the decision-making part of
the universe, or the part which feels, "I know." It is the satva
guna.
4- What is the satva guna?
It
is the most sentient force in the creative force (one of the three
gunas) of the universe. It is responsible for the feeling of "I
know" in the individual mind and the Universal Mind, and is the
decision-making part of the mind.
5- Who is Michael?
It
is the force responsible for actions in the universe or the part of
the Universal Mind which feels, "I do." That is why it is Michael
and his Angels which fight with the dragon (devil, Maya, in chapter
12 of The Revelation).
6- What about the Orders of Gabriel, Enoch and Michael?
The
Order of Enoch are those who work with the Science based on Spirit
for the Golden Age to come. The Order of Michael are the protectors
of the servants of God. The Order of Gabriel is the spiritual
teaching or is the unifying spirit for the New Order of the Ages. It
is this spiritual teaching which should be understood by the Order
of Michael and Enoch so as to also unify them.
These new spiritual teachings are revealed in
THOTH.
7- What about St. Germane, Khutumi, or Sanat Kumara, and you?
What is the relationship?
Any
Master or Spiritual Guide is like a bridge to God. As Jesus (Esa)
said, "I AM the way and the truth." The goal is to go to God and
know Him in His highest form (not to get stuck on the bridge), or to
become in touch with the Universal Mind directly. Therefore learn
from all Masters and Teachers. But the highest authority is He, His
Son and The Holy Ghost. Be One with them as One.
However, you cannot know Him without serving Him. Therefore, know
thyself and follow the Eternal Divine Path.
8- What is the meaning of The Greatest Sign?
Read
The Holiest Of The Holies (THOTH), The Last Testament .
9- Who is God?
Who
are You?
10- Why is THOTH called The Last Testament?
"But
in the time of the seventh angel,...the mystery of God will be
finished" (Rev. 10:7).
THOTH
is the teaching of the seventh Angel.
1- Define baptism.
To
receive The Holy Ghost (The Divine Grace).
2- What are the prophecies that have not been fulfilled?
After a period of strife on earth, His Kingdom will come. This is
the first resurrection, and will last for 1000 years (symbolically),
and then is the time of the second resurrection. In this second
resurrection man will be One with God, in His presence. (Read
Revelation of The Revelation in THOTH.)
3- What is meant by the "chosen people?"
"Those who have gone beyond;" those who are servants of God and have
no other ambition but to serve Him; those who walk on the Eternal
Divine Path and are One with it.
1- What is the importance of spiritual dancing?
Spiritual dancing has been practiced in many religions, especially
as a way to the Mystical experience. Even in the Old Testament it is
mentioned as done by Prophets (Samuel 10:5), and King David danced
of joy also.
Spiritual dance, also called "Kirtan," is a combination of music,
chanting, and dancing. By playing music, listening to the music, and
chanting words which have higher vibrations (mantras), a person
preoccupies his senses to a rhythmic flow.
The
music and mantras bring the energy to higher spiritual centers and
bring a person closer to God. The rhythm brings a stillness to the
mind, as it is said, "Be still and know that I am God" (Psalms
46:10).
However, the greatest spiritual dance occurs when a person is
overcome with the joy of The Holy Ghost. This is the true Kirtan. It
is a dance of Joy in God.
2- What do you consider to be the Holy Days and Feasts?
In
chapters 23 of
Leviticus
in the Bible God has given the days that He demanded to be kept as
His feasts and Holy Days. There should not be any other holidays.
Any other holidays are not Holy, because they are not from God.
Also
if the idea is to unify humanity and each culture or country insists
in keeping their holidays, then we will have all year as a holiday!
By accepting the Holy Days that God has commanded, this problem can
be easily solved.
Furthermore, most holidays are narrow in view and are not universal.
But God’s Holy Days know no boundaries and all are for all of
humanity.
1- What is meant by the red dragon in
The Revelation?
This
refers to Maya. Maya is the illusion of separation from God. It will
result in excess unnecessary attraction toward the external world
(any attraction which is contrary to our spiritual progress). (Read
Revelation of The Revelation chapter 12 in THOTH.)
2- How can we best serve?
Follow the Eternal Divine Path! Let all know that the prophecies are
fulfilled and being fulfilled, the Kingdom is at hand!
3- What is an Avatar?
A
person who comes back to this world after reaching pure
consciousness in order to help others to reach higher consciousness
or pure consciousness. He is called an Avatar, son of God, god-man,
or Angel.
4- Without using any Eastern Mantras what can be used?
Any
word, phrase, prayer, decree, or invocation which directs the
consciousness toward God or higher thoughts.
5- What is meant by Akashic Records?
Book
of Remembrance, Source of Decrees; the cosmic records of creation
and history; the memory of the Universal Mind, the records kept of
all events in the past and what is happening or will happen in the
universe. It is through these records that God (through His
Prophets), corrects or advances the old revelations, and because of
these records, even if humans change the Scriptures, God will reveal
the truth to those chosen to know. Those who are sincere will have
access to the records as a revelation by His Grace, "Ask, and it
shall be given you, seek and ye shall find: knock, and it shall be
opened unto you." (Matthew 7:7).
6- What is it about the New Order of the Ages?
In
the New Order of the Ages the old Scriptures and lessons given
throughout the last 12,000 years will be understood in depth.
7- What is meant by "born again?"
To
go from the lower self to the higher self. When a person overcomes
his lower nature, he will be born into his higher nature. He will
start to grasp the reality behind the spiritual world.
8- What does it mean "to be here now?"
To
be here means to be One with God, and whoever is One with Him is in
Flow and Harmony with the universe and so there is no mistake (bad
karma) made. It means to be in perfect tune with the universe, a
pure channel for Him to know all.
9- Who can follow the Eternal Divine Path?
Everyone. Our hope and intention is to see all humanity, religions,
Mystical Paths, ideals and realizations to know their Oneness in
God. There is no one who is not included in our teachings.
