Hafed commences his spiritual development teachings:
Good afternoon and God bless you, my children.
What is true dedication? When you come here and sit for your development, you may not be totally aware of those souls who have journeyed back here from the realms of light. They come to inspire and direct your thoughts, filling you with that new purpose of spirit and greatness of God’s love. True dedication means no matter how difficult the task may be, you must devote that day or time to being here; this is very important. You cannot, in any way, expect to turn up after the Circle has started to be let in. If a time is stated for you to be here, then you must be here at that time.
Anything else in your life which may intervene must come second, for your whole purpose is being in your seat at the allotted time, so you may be at one with those who travel back from the realms of light. I stress the realms of light because I want to show you how difficult it is for your guides and teachers to be here with you. They give up much by taking on these new conditions that are harsh and cause them suffering, but they do it for you. If they can suffer all of this for you, then surely you can make the effort to be here with them. This is all I wish to say upon the matter, for I realise that there are those who want be here, but have a valid reason for their absence.
So, my children, what shall we speak of today? It is not always easy to find a new subject when part of your Circle is absent, for the teaching I had planned to give will need to be rescheduled for when we are all here ready to receive it. Perhaps it would be a good idea to review those things that we have discussed on previous occasions, so as to give to you an opportunity of clarifying any matters? Please ask and I will answer to the best of my ability.
Question:
There are different levels within the spirit world – I wonder if you can tell us more about this? Also, we are all individual spirits, but were all spirits created at the same point in time or are new spirits continually being created? And are spirits actually disappearing as well?
Hafed:
When you say disappearing, what do you mean?
Comment:
I mean that they have created such a great evil that they no longer exist.
Hafed:
Yes, that is so. To give you a precise picture of the spirit world and it’s many different levels is perhaps asking for the impossible. For after all is said and done you must achieve a new spiritual height of understanding to allow you to pass from one light into a greater light. This is the difference between one sphere and another. If you are travelling higher you must realise that the new sphere is brighter in every way, because it embraces a great deal more of God and truth and love.
As a child at an infants school cannot jump to a senior school and still be expected to understand what is going on and why it is going on, so it is the same in the spirit world. One may only pass from a lower to a higher level providing they find themselves at peace with all around them (at the higher level). If they were not in unison with that light and greater glory they could not enter, it would be a barrier to them. The same quality of light must be within them, in order to blend into the higher realm through which they pass. This enables the new realm to be made manifest to them and they are able to see all the things that are there for them to see. Had they not been capable of reaching that dimension then the light would be such that they would be blind to all that was in it.
If I was to define what is necessary to pass from one sphere to another, I would have to say that the quality of the soul must be enriched. It is not a question of passing an exam to progress to the next level, for nothing which enriches the quality of a soul, can be expressed in words. Rather it is the quality of love, the quality of goodness, the quality of sincerity and the quality of godliness within you and they are not in word form. They are very real and have a substance of their own, which enriches your soul, so much so that you are able to pass from one realm to another and comprehend all that you find in your new surroundings. There are many such realms to which you progress. None of them can be acquired or accomplished within a short space of time, for within each there are many different facets of experience and vibrations. There are also different kinds of learning that you must come to see and understand. At first there will be many things you will not comprehend.
It is true to say that you will go to school in the early part of your spiritual life and there are teachers who will help you. But they do not use a blackboard and easel, they do not write sums on the board nor do they give you history lessons. It is nothing to do with that kind of learning; rather it is a soul-searching lesson. Coming to terms with yourself and your life, to see if you are able to piece it together to see those things that were wrong, which were directly contributed by you. This allows you to reach a basic understanding of why you are as you are. Once you have accomplished this, it gives to you a new insight of what your goal is to be and how you are to accomplish it.
It is not easy; it is very difficult because the learning of that has to be in experience. When you have drained and learned everything that you can from your life, you must go on and tackle new concepts of spiritual life in order for you to understand more clearly the things that you are to evolve to. You have no knowledge of many of these things of which I speak. No one has ever taught you of them, nobody can speak of them for they are those unspeakable things without shape or form in your world. They are not in accordance with your understanding and yet they are there.
The Universe is not just a pretty thing that is hung out at night for man to look at and say, “Ah, isn’t it beautiful”. For well he knows of all the planets and stars that exist there, but this is such a very small grain of sand compared to the mighty desert of truth and knowledge that is there to be gathered. There are new depths of soul you must delve into and conquer. You can only do this when you are brought to the knowledge of their existence and you must feel your way in order to find them.
You must be placed in situations that challenge you and the old values you once lived by here on Earth, to see how strong they still are within you. To see what depth of love and trust you hold to God, by being in that position where there is fear about you. A great deal of the early work is done in the lower regions where you are sent to help establish a greater depth of truth with those there. To help them rise above the pit which they are in, but that is not the only work. There is work which far off, across the other side of the Universe, in other forms of life and to other forms of life and yet all part of the creation of God.
There is so much my son that I cannot speak of because there are no words I could deliver. It makes me feel most inadequate as your teacher, but this is the only thing I can say, except that one day you will experience these things for yourself. You will come to know just what I mean for we are all in search of God, but who is God and where is God? Each one has a vague idea within his mind, but I am afraid it is nowhere near the truth. Man’s conception of God is totally wrong; he sees Him as a figurehead of great power and light – a fatherly figure, but that is not so, for you are totally reversed round. Maybe the word reversed is an odd one to use, but I want to show you that you are now looking for God in a most ineffective way.
When you do come to realise that you are in search of God and who God is, you will see why there is still so much that lies before you in order to reach out to that Great Spirit, that great Father of all His children. It is not a simple thing to comprehend or understand. Even at the level I have reached, do not know what God is. I have drawn a lot closer to Him and I’m able to see and understand totally differently to you, but I do not know what God is. God is more than a word, indeed we are more than a word; we are God’s in miniature.
To understand what your quest is, you must first begin to understand yourself, in order to separate the imperfect from the perfect within you. You must see how utterly useless the imperfect is, because it blinds you to the truth and prevents you from going any further. It is necessary to cleanse your mind and your spirit of all that which is imperfect. My children, that is a very tall order.
If you who sit here now do not even understand what perfection is, in your present state and condition of mind, then what will you understand of that condition on a higher level of thought with a clearer image of yourself? You begin to see the obvious imperfections and cleanse yourself from them. Then you begin to see other less obvious imperfections in yourself, which are more deep-rooted than the obvious. And so it goes on, with the purification is taking place all the time.
When you stand before a greater light than yourself, those imperfections cause you great pain and anguish. Perhaps the hardest to rid yourself of, is the thought that you are a lot better than you really are. My son, as much as I would like to be able to paint a clearer picture of your question, I am afraid that is as close as I can come. Is there anything else that you would ask?
Question:
Have the people on Earth at the moment come from different stages of spirit?
Hafed:
Yes.
Question:
Is it possible for someone who comes to the Earth to regress, in that they may have actually originated from a higher sphere but become lower; and vice versa?
Hafed:
Yes, even angels fall from grace and if angels can do that, then it is most likely that man will. Oh, yes, that is so.
Question:
So are angels a higher level of spirit?
Hafed:
Angels are a different creation to man; they are, how can I say, nearer to the God Head. Whereas man is the child of God and one day must be as God is. But we are a very long way from that and the further you progress, the more you see the distance which lies between you and that goal you aim for. So the answer is that angels are and always have been on a different level from us. They have no need to be born into the world. You may then ask what are these guardian angels you have often spoken of? There are such guardian angels, but they are men (now in spirit) who have progressed to a much higher level of spirituality and you are placed in their charge while you are here on Earth. Not to interfere with your free will, but to give you the understanding and knowledge of God at one stage in your life, so you may choose the path you wish to walk.
Question:
Sometimes I feel as if I am alone even though I know I am not, why do I get this feeling?
Hafed:
It is also a part of your test if you like. All these things are meant to give you an experience of different feelings, which you will surely feel at one stage of your progression. When you feel that you are alone, it is then you will need to summon all your strength and faith in God, to maintain that spiritual light that you think you have, or you think you feel. It is when your cloak of protection is taken away and you stand-alone. What you do in that period of time is very essential to your progression by learning how to overcome difficulties. As part of your spiritual progression, when you come to us, loneliness is one of the things you will experience in order to overcome that feeling of being alone. To create the strength and knowledge within you that nobody is ever alone. No matter where you are or how you feel, God is always there.
Question:
Can you tell us something about moods, why it is that some times we can wake up in a jolly mood or an unhappy mood for no apparent reason?
Hafed:
Are you speaking primarily of waking from sleep or the moods that can change during the course of the day?
Comment:
Both really.
Hafed:
A lot of your moods stem from your health. If the body is feeling tired, listless or in pain, then you mood will change and you will feel that mood. However, moods do not always depress or deplete you. For many times a mood can be one of joy, if something has been said to you which surprises you and gives you an inner feeling of glowing with pleasure. It changes you attitude and your outlook in certain ways and brings to you that feeling of joy. There are other ways in which moods can change. Bad dreams can cause this and they are usually based on the events of your life, which linger in your subconscious and come together because something in the day has sparked that thought off. In that type of dream it can become very frightening and confusing. So much so that when you wake you are in a very unhappy state and depressed state. So moods are subject to varying conditions of life and health and also your sleep state. But you can also wake up having had a good dream, feeling on top of the world. Moods are very funny because they can change suddenly. What can be so happy in one hour can change to a source of tears in another, but that is basically all you can say about the moods of people. They are formed and created out of the substance of life.
Question:
How is it that some people dream and some people don’t?
Hafed:
All people dream, it is just that some do not remember.
Question:
Why is it that we do not remember?
Hafed:
That is a difficult question, one that I do not feel capable of answering and I am certain whatever I could say about that, would probably not be right. I cannot really answer that question.
Question:
Are all dreams from the subconscious or do they have any other form of substance?
Hafed:
Most dreams are from the subconscious though there are others that are related to travel in spirit. Some of them can foretell the future, but at the same time I would not recommend that you place all your faith in what you have dreamed, regardless of how real it may seem.
Question:
On this Earth we have quite a lot of different races and colours. When the soul passes over into spirit, I believe that all souls who are of equal level go to the same sphere. Does that also mean that those who have been fighting over race or religion when they pass, go to the same level as everybody else, or are they separated?
Hafed:
Man will find his level in the world of spirit according to the spiritual light that is within. You cannot go beyond that light; you must rise or fall according to your works (know them by their works). Therefore, if they have been of an evil design then they will fall to that level of darkness. If they have been of a spiritual design so they will rise to that spiritual realm of light that is in keeping with their souls.
Question:
Is the animal kingdom in a different sphere to us or can they join us?
Hafed:
It can be so. There is no difference in that respect, although I want you to know that there are certain parts of your spheres which do not have animals. Not because they are barred, but because it is not a suitable place for animals. An animal has its own sphere and its own progression to make.
I will say farewell and God bless you all.
God bless you.
