GOLDEN KEYS II

INTRODUCTION

Each of these booklets contain answers given by Maitreya or approved by Him to questions which were 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, you can further search for answers in our website. If your questions have still not been answered, please send them to the Mission. You will receive answers that are either directly from Maitreya or have been reviewed by Him. We may use answers that are not a repetition in new Golden Keys in the future.

Who is Maitreya?

  

  

Dedicated: To the Essence

In Each Man and Woman

Which Knows No Race, Religion or Creed.

  

  

THE FEMALE AND MARRIAGE

1- What about the feminine aspect in THOTH?

Many confuse the 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.

The 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. Man should not misuse God's powers which have been granted to him. 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 economic 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 spiritually even in one body. 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 that 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 most 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 1 in THOTH).

  

5- What does "Science Based on Spirit" mean?

Science Based on Spirit are the scientific discoveries based on the laws of nature (Dharma) and the cause and effect in creation (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 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.

 

 

PARAPSYCHOLOGY

1- What is meant by kundalini?

Kundalini is 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 from the lower chakras (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 will be. In raising the kulakundalini, besides meditation, reading the words of God is 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 comes to a person naturally it can be used for the 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 3 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 that 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 2 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 about 2,300 years ago a period of intellectual development and domination began. (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 "Kingdom Of Heaven In Heaven (KOHIH)" in Essays 1 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 (KOHW), The Kingdom Of Heaven On Earth (KOHOE) and The Kingdom Of Heaven In Heaven (KOHIH).

  

3- What is meant by Mt. Zion?

Mt. Zion is 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. 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- Will Mission Temples 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 Hierarchy will emerge from these Communities.

 

 

MASTERS AND HIERARCHY

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 attune 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 of the creative forces (the three gunas) in 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 in the Bible).

  

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 Orders of Michael and Enoch so as to also unify them.

These new spiritual teachings are revealed in THOTH.

  

7- What about St. Germain, Khutumi, or Sanat Kumara, and you? What is the relationship?

Any Master or Spiritual Guide is like a bridge to God. As Esa (Jesus) said, "I AM the way and the truth." The goal is to go to God and know Him in His highest form (not to become 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 days of the voice of the seventh angel, ... the mystery of God should be finished" (Revelation 10:7). THOTH is the teaching of the Seventh Angel.

  

  

RELIGIOUS BELIEFS

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.

 

 

HOLIDAYS AND FESTIVALS

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 (1 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 chapter 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 the whole of humanity.

 

 

MISCELLANEOUS

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 and/or unnecessary attraction toward the external world (any attraction which is contrary to our spiritual progress). (Read Revelation of The Revelation, Tablets 22 and 23 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 that 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 does it mean "to be 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 know their Oneness in God. There is no one who is not included in our teachings.
