It is written in the Psalms of David: “The heavens declare the Glory of God… day unto day uttereth speech, Night unto Night showeth knowledge...” It is during the time of night, a time of darkness, a time when the light of the sun, natural understanding, is darkened, that the greater glory of truth is awakened to us. The brightness of the sunlight, wonderful as it is to three-dimensional existence, blinds you to see the greater glory that is hidden in the stars. Some of those stars are a thousand times brighter and larger than our Sun. Some are as large in diameter as the total distance from our earth to the sun. Imagine that! There are worlds of truth beyond the borders of this present world.

LEAVING THE PRESENT KNOWING:

I remember times when great disappointment flooded my heart and mind. Disappointed because life and reality was not the way I had imagined it in my spiritually awakened mind. Just because people had an experience of the Holy Spirit did not mean that they would not hurt one another! In fact they seemed more able to do so than merely religious people. It was during those times, times of my greatest darkness, times when I felt as if I understood nothing and knew nothing, that I became willing to leave the world of my understanding and let go of some dearly held perceptions. That is the time when whole new worlds began to open up to me. I realized that the great understanding I had received was only great in this solar system of thought and that our solar system is only one star and its planets in a whole galaxy of stars called the Milky Way. And that beyond this galaxy there are untold billions of Stars of unimaginable glory waiting to be seen by us as we awaken in the Light of knowing that is coming from the Father of Light. We are awakening! Our time has come! “Father, the sleeper has awakened!”

Orion is one of those constellations of light that can be seen in the northern hemisphere. I remember when I was but 16 years old, walking home from a Baptist revival and looking at the stars as I waited for a car to stop. I remember those three stars in the belt of Orion. I know their names today: Mintaka, Alnilam and Alnitak. Back then I did not even know they had names, I just remember seeing them in their unique configuration. Nor did I know that for countless age s men had looked at those same three stars, marveled at them, night after night, year after year, century after century and eon after eon. I did not know there were three ancient Pyramids shrouded with mystery in the plain of Giza in Egypt Pyramids that in their construction and design hold information about our earth. and our solar system that modern man has only recently discovered. Three pyramids built in location and spaced apart in such a way as to be a perfect duplicate of the positions of the stars on the belt of Orion. Pyramids showing hidden knowledge and technical ability beyond what modern man knows and is able to do. I did not know that there were shafts in the great Pyramid that pointed to certain stars, shafts which, at the time of the building of the pyramid pointed to those very stars in Orion that I was looking at on a winter night in the 20th century after Christ.

JOSEPH AND THE PATHWAY OF ASCENSION:

I vividly remember a time some 20 years later as I was standing in the midst of a group of people, seekers like myself, sharing some of that that was awakening in me. A man stepped into the doorway and I heard his unspoken thoughts about me. In his mind he said as he saw me standing there, “Oh, there is Rokus blowing off again.” I do not think I heard his exact words, I rather think I caught the vibration of his thought and clothed it with words myself. Nevertheless, the pain was excruciating for this was a man I walked with, had shared some of my journey with, in short, he was my brother. As I walked downstairs, still feeling the pain of rejection, I was given an article by Noreen Nichols on the tribes of Israel and the Stars. It said concerning Joseph that the blessing would be upon his head, he that was separate from his brethren. Could my life and experience somehow be related to that wonderful terrible story of Joseph and his brethren? To me those insights were brand new. I felt as if I was Joseph.

I read the story of his life over and over again. He was favored of his father. (I suppose my bruised ego needed some help *). He ended up in a pit, put there by his brethren, sold as a slave to Egypt, served in Potiphars house, betrayed by a woman, in jail, trying to deliver himself by the gift that was in him but having to wait for the appointed time of the Father. Then, finally, to the throne with authority and power and the wisdom to handle it all, loving and receiving his brethren, caring for his younger brother and his father, and sitting in the greatest throne in the world, redeeming the people of God. Little did I know, like looking at those stars in the belt ofOrion that thousands of other eyes had looked upon, that I was only one of many who had experienced the life of Joseph in a higher dimensional frequency; making an identification, transcending the separation of time and space and experiencing glimpses of a greater reality.

What I realized in those brief moments of pain, disappointment, and illumination was that this tremendous urge in me to express myself, to use words and language to conceive thoughts in men’s minds, was not a product of my ego as my lowered mind would have me believe but rather it was the pressure of a genetic destiny, a life mission to be walked out, a purpose to be fulfilled. Like Joseph’s brethren, whose anger and jealousy had to rule them for a season to create an experience of rejection for him, so some of my dear brethren have given their lives so that I, and many others like me, a messianic company, might live and become...live and become, for myself and for them and for all created realms, a body of breakthrough. A body of people who would break the chains of these lower worlds of thought and experience and restore to us the thoughts and understandings of our true existence.

There was a long time when I struggled with resentment and pain over the seeming mistreatment that I saw being done to brethren. One day as I became so angry at the seeming mistreatment of one of my brethren by another, I broke out in tears asking God “Why am I so angry?” I was made to understand that it was my own inability to accept what seemed to be mistreatment of my brethren towards me that caused my anger towards others. That truly began a searching of heart and soul. You mean I was rejecting the very process of God in my life? You mean I was blaming my brethren for my experiences of rejection? I looked at Joseph’s life all over again. I realized it was Joseph that needed the experience in jail. It was his pathway to true self-realization…the throne of Egypt. The Throne is that place within yourself from which you rule the whole world. The very brethren that mistreated him were the ones who helped and served him in creating experiences for his evolutionary growth. For the first time I realized that forgiveness is necessary only until you understand. Once I understood the purpose of those experiences, I no longer needed to forgive those that helped me to create them. I became profoundly thank ful for them. I became thankful for the experiences of rejection and misunderstanding and the people in my life that helped me to create those very experiences.
