COMMENTARIES ON DISCOURSE 2

 Calling Forth the Wholeness Navigator

By John Berges 

11 (1) Paragraphs 1-68 Creation of the Seven Archetypes

The discourse begins with a discussion of the physical manifestation of God as seven genetic archetypes. These seven archetypes next created seven sub-races, which are collectively known as the Central Race or WingMakers. This was done in succession, from the first archetype to the seventh. The first sub-race then created the soul carriers which could explore physical universe number one. This process continued for each universe. Earth’s humanity thus represents those entities inhabiting the seventh universe using soul carriers (human instruments) created by the seventh sub-race. These soul carriers allow humans to explore the seventh physical universe.

Teacher: There are genetic archetypes that reside within the physical manifestation of God, and these archetypes are seven-fold. 30.

Teacher: The Grand Universe consists of seven universes, and each of these converges in the central-most region of the Grand Universe. It is within this region that the seven, physical manifestations of First Source live, each an archetype of the human instrument designed for the universe of its destiny. 36.

Teacher: There is only one God, but there are seven human instruments — each with different attributes and capabilities — that the one God inhabits. Our universe is associated with the Seventh Archetype, and it is this expression of First Source that interacts with, and governs, our universe. 38.

Student: A human instrument from universe one would not be similar to a human instrument from any of the other six universes?

Teacher: Correct. 41-2.

Student: What you’re saying is that all humanoid life forms, regardless of where they are located within our universe, are genetically linked to the Seventh Archetype of First Source?

Teacher: Correct, but you can extend this to include a broad spectrum of other life forms as well. In other words, it’s not just the human instrument.

Student: Then in the other six universes, each has its own archetype that is embodied by God, and the life forms of these universes conform to this archetype — at least from a genetic perspective, if not in appearance. Is this accurate?

Teacher: Yes.  45-8.

Teacher: Let me remind you that we are discussing a physical expression of God. The Seventh Archetype of First Source is not able to travel about the universe independent of the laws of the universe. You may think of these seven Archetypes as the Human Instruments of First Source, and attribute similar characteristics and limitations to them, as we ourselves must bear.

Student: So, the physical archetypes of First Source do not share the omnipresence and omniscience of their Father?

Teacher: They do not. 58-60.

Student: Were the archetypes of First Source created right after the creation of the Grand Universe? 

Teacher: They were created in succession the same way a family is created. 63-4.

 Section Summary:

Student: I want to see if I understand this correctly.

• At some point in time there was a Grand Universe created by First Source, 
• consisting of seven universes, 
• each governed by a physical expression of First Source. 
• The universes were devoid of life other than celestial bodies like stars and planets. 

Is this correct so far?


Teacher: Yes. 68.

17 (7) Paragraphs 69-96 Creation of Life

Following the description of the creation of the seven physical archetypes of First Source, this section describes the creation of life in each of the seven universes.

Student: And then the creation of life occurred. How?

Teacher: First Archetype of First Source created life forms, what we shall call, the Central Race of First Universe. These beings were very powerful and not unlike their creator in function and form. They, in turn, created the genetic structures that became the first, pure physical soul carriers that housed the individuated spirit energies of First Source.

Student: And this repeated itself six more times?

Teacher: Each universe was populated with genetic structures that were based on the Archetype of First Source for that particular universe. Each genetic structure had unique capabilities that were suited for the exploration and colonization of their particular universe.

Student: So, there are seven, different, genetic structures of soul carriers exploring the Grand Universe. For what reason? Why does First Source design the universe this way?

Teacher: The Grand Universe is a vast network of life-bearing planets that enable the individuated spirit consciousness, housed within a soul carrier or human instrument, to interact with the limitations that physical worlds — by their very structure — impose. By interacting with these limitations, the genetic structures evolve, and in this evolution, they become unified.

Student: Are you saying that evolution’s final form is unity?

Teacher: Not in all species, but in the most advanced formats of physical existence, unity is the outcome of evolution. 70-76.

At this point the student asks why this is so. The teacher explains that the soul carriers (human instruments) all contain the unification instinct which inevitably leads the soul or Wholeness Navigator back to First Source. 77-82.

19 (9) Paragraph 86 The Five Rings of Life

Teacher: There are five rings of life that comprise First Source. At the center is the consciousness of First Source. At the whole is Source Intelligence. In between are three rings of life: the seven Archetypes of First Source, the Central Race, and the individuated spirit-essence, or Wholeness Navigator. 86.

Teacher: The five rings of life are distinct forms of consciousness. In the formless state, each ring of life is aware of its unity, purpose, and inherent kinship with the others. In the physical realms, where consciousness is expressed through a dimensionally focused soul-carrier, they have a diminished awareness of this connection. Thus, they are both separate and unified, depending upon which strata of consciousness the entity is focused. 

Student: Then you’re saying that even the Archetypes of First Source, since they have a physical body, operate in the three-dimensional world without a strong sense of connection to First Source? It hardly seems possible. 94-5.

20 (10) Paragraphs 96-129 The Human Situation

The following exchange marks a distinct shift in this discourse. The dialogue moves from a cosmic perspective to an individual one.

Teacher: No one within the Central Race pretends to know the degree in which the Archetypes of First Source have a diminished capacity to recall their Source vibration. However, those within the Central Race are well aware of how the soul carriers of three-dimensional substance, create the condition of separation in which divine recall is reduced to such a degree that the entity regards itself as separate from First Source, and therefore its capabilities.

Student: Our bodies cause our souls to devolve? 

Teacher: No. Our sense of separation from our Source vibration causes our human instrument to remain devolved. The devolution has already occurred; it is merely perpetuated. 96-8.

At this point (103) the student oversimplifies the process of reunification with First Source. He describes it as an awakening of the “Source vibration” which “causes the human instrument to evolve in the direction of the Wholeness Navigator.” 103. 

Using the metaphor of building a fire, the teacher illustrates that this process of return is not as simple as it appears. This is not done to discourage the student, but simply to make him or her aware of the realities of the process of return. 104-128.

23 (13) Paragraphs 129-133 The Complexities of the Evolutionary Path

Teacher: You simplified your question to the extreme. The equations of evolution are so complex that they are invisible to the mind of the human instrument. It is not merely the re-association with the Source vibration or God-Fragment that draws the Wholeness Navigator to it divinity and re-asserts its capabilities as a replica of First Source. This equation carries thousands upon thousands of critical elements bundled in a coherent, carefully orchestrated path. I wanted you to remember this. 129.

Student: But isn’t it necessary to simplify in order to approach the subject? How can anyone give all of these factors equal weight and still have an intelligent discussion?

Teacher: That’s my point. You cannot.

Student: So we can’t even discuss it?

Teacher: No, not with any degree of accuracy. Evolutionary circuits are dependent on complex systems, and these systems are so vast and multifaceted that words – when applied to depict them – only serve to bring focus on one element and this element is never – in itself – powerful enough to catalyze or mobilize the evolutionary path.

At this stage the student is led to ask what can catalyze the evolutionary path.Apparently, it is not achieved through manipulating the mechanisms of the complex systems upon which evolutionary circuits depend.

24 (14) Paragraphs 134-155 Overcoming Separation

How do we leave our state of separation and return to First Source? What does it take to catalyze or mobilize the evolutionary path? The teacher convinces the student that the mobilizing factor is trust in one’s entire self, meaning the soul as well as the soul carrier.

Teacher: Trust the parts and the whole. Trust the connection of these to First Source. Trust the God-Fragment that orchestrates all of this complexity into coherent experience and knowledge that assures the recollection of your divinity. Trust the evolutionary process defined by First Source. Trust each of these above the external voices that meet you, no matter how infallible they may appear to be. Trust your self-knowing and its ability to guide you in the ascending spiral of your journey. 155.

 26 (16) Paragraphs 156-161 Seeking Help

Sometimes it is appropriate to seek help from others.

Teacher: When you grapple with the finer distinctions of a concept, you invariably come to a wall that defines the limits of your memory or experience. When you find this wall, there is nothing wrong with seeking help from others, but remember that you are the entity that is most aware of your own needs. The wall that you find may be precisely what you need at that time. 161.

26 (16) Paragraphs 162-171 Inspiration Is Key

Just as the body “asks” for food when it requires nourishment and the eyelids close when the body needs sleep, the fuel needed for one’s evolution as a Sovereign Integral is inspiration. This is the cause of our desire to seek the Wholeness Navigator.

Teacher: It is inspiration! Inspiration from the spiritual masters who came before you. Inspiration from Nature. Inspiration from art. But most importantly, it is the inspiration that enters from the realm of the Wholeness Navigator within you, into your human instrument and then tirelessly kindles your desire to recollect the reality of the God-Fragment stored inside you.

Student: How do I recognize this inspiration?

Teacher: It is not important to recognize it. It only matters that you feel it and welcome its presence because this is how you develop self-trust and self-knowing. 171.

 27 (17) Paragraphs 172-193 Purity of Motive 

Student: Are there techniques to accomplish this?

 The teacher suggests that it is as simple as extending an invitation to someone you wish to meet.

Teacher: It is not. The divine instruments of First Source are ever vigilant for sincere prayers, and never reject the offer to extend their presence within the human instrument of an entity that desires to ascend in consciousness. This is an immutable law of the universe.

Student: Is there a better way to extend this invitation than simply asking in prayer?

Teacher: It is not your words that will be heard. It is your feelings and the purity of their motivation. You could be drunk from wine and swearing in your loudest voice, but if your innermost feelings were pure, sincere, humble, and motivated by love, your invitation would be answered. In contrast, you could be meditating for days, striving to be of perfect character, and asking in the quietest whisper of a clear mind, but if you were tainted with the motivations of honor and pride, your invitation would most likely be declined. 193.

29 (19) Paragraphs 194-203 Role of the Wholeness Navigator

The student wonders why the Wholeness Navigator cares about the qualities and motives of the individual.

Teacher: The human instrument is a vessel or soul carrier. Upon your planet, it houses the pure and perfect instrument of First Source: the Wholeness Navigator. If the human instrument is impure with thoughts of materiality, motivations of self-aggrandizement, or actions of hatred, it makes the soul carrier less receptive to the vibrations of the Wholeness Navigator. In some cases, the Wholeness Navigator, if it enters into such a vessel and offers its capabilities, these very capabilities are corrupted for selfish purposes. 197.

Student: So the Wholeness Navigator does not want its capabilities to become contaminated by an impure soul carrier?

Teacher: This is partially true, but it is more that the God-Fragment within you chooses to expose its energies to a human instrument that has invited it to share its vision and understanding. Once it is invited, it will monitor the response of the human instrument to its presence. If the invitations are repeatedly extended, the God-Fragment will continue to materialize as an infused, spirit-led consciousness that directs the human instrument in its earthly mission.

This is a refreshing new perspective on the relationship between the human instrument and the Wholeness Navigator. Rather than describing the Wholeness Navigator as a pure entity that will not “dirty” itself with an impure, inferior, selfish human instrument, we are given a positive explanation for this potential relationship. 

The Wholeness Navigator’s goal is to extend its vision into the world of the human instrument. If it is invited to enter into a conscious relationship with an individual with selfish motives, the Wholeness Navigator will end the relationship as soon as it realizes that it’s vision of wholeness and unity cannot be expressed. In other words, the relationship is not ended as retribution or punishment, but simply because the Wholeness Navigator has no outlet for its expression of unity and wholeness.

Student: It sounds like the God-Fragment takes over. Is that how it is?

The result is transformation of the human instrument. This is described as follows:

Teacher: The God-Fragment injects divine perspective to the human instrument. It enables the soul carrier to become the soul’s vision in service to First Source. In doing this, the human instrument is transformed.

 Summation

This discourse consists of two distinct sections. Paragraphs 1-96 describe the phases of creation starting with First Source and ending with the human instrument or soul carrier. Having taken the general description of the creation of life from First Source to the level of the human instrument, the teacher introduces (Paragraphs 96-203) the fundamental paradox of the human instrument—namely, its inborn instinct toward separation from First Source.

The individuated consciousness experiencing life through the human instrument is in a state of perpetual devolution. (Although not discussed in this particular discourse, the Chamber Philosophies explain that the human experience of separation from First Source is an important aspect of the Grand Experiment.) 

The discourse next points out that there are two primary factors which lead the human instrument past the stage of separation toward the expanded awareness of the Sovereign Integral. These are trust and inspiration. 

Trust in one’s complete self is of prime importance. We can trust in teachings and teachers to a point, but eventually we all must find our own way forward by trusting our own inner wisdom. 

The element of inspiration is of equal importance. In fact, trust and inspiration feed one another. Although recognizing inspiration is of some value, the important thing is to feel its presence and welcome it (171).

Conclusion

The foundational lesson of this discourse is that we “call forth the Wholeness Navigator” through trusting in the core qualities of our essential being. These have been described in Lyricus Discourse 1 as “unconditional love, supernal beauty, harmony, reverence, and wholeness.” We get in touch with these qualities in various ways. Music, art, and contact with nature are examples; learning to practice meditation is another. For example, in “Message From James” he describes an exercise in which we visually create our personal Chamber of Self where we go within and seek insights concerning the deep questions of life. 

This trust leads to inspiration. By establishing the entire basis of our life on the qualities of the inmost self, soul, or Wholeness Navigator, we call it forth and are subject to its inspiration. This strengthens our trust in the process and in our core wisdom which, in turn, leads to more inspiration. This continuous calling forth of the Wholeness Navigator eventually transforms the human instrument. Staying aligned with our true feelings and maintaining purity of motive are the foundational determining factors. Using these as a foundation for everything else, we can then develop specific techniques for transforming our human instrument into the Sovereign Integral.
