Harold Camping’s spending of significant financial resources to broadcast his views on what he termed Judgment Day certainly got the attention of the country. While in the past such bravado would have received categorical dismissal from mainstream America, May 21 instead seemed to bring a relief from many people that nothing happened this time around. People seem to sense something is up yet they simply cannot put a finger on it.
While rapture has taken on the fundamentalist interpretation of being instantaneously taken up from this world into some extraordinary heaven, rapture has another meaning on the path. Like the eastern concept of kriyas, rapture can be seen as the effect of bodily shaking that can occur during intense spiritual practice when spiritual energy or Light is invoked and then received by the practitioner. The spiritual energy is received into the subtle bodies during the practice and has to go somewhere. If the path through the body is blocked, the body shakes. Other forms of rapture can be seen as mental reactions to new ideas or an emotional unease to something different that you feel.
The Tibetan Djwhal Khul indicates in A Treatise on Cosmic Fire that the human body, just like a planet or sun, receives energy, circulates it through the body and then radiates it out. The Ageless Wisdom Teachings also speak how people are all at different points upon the path and have what is called a point in evolution. At different stages of evolution, the bodies which a person has – their physical, emotional and mental vehicles – vibrate at different rates. The path is about purifying and speeding up the vibration of these vehicles so they may function in higher light.
To speed up the vibration of the vehicles, an energy which is vibrating at a higher rate than what the current rate of the person is needed. Meditation is an age-old way of receiving this higher light. When this light is received, it runs into the relative lower vibrations in the body. If the lower vibrations are set in deeply entrenched patterns and the incoming vibrations are intense, then there can be raptures or shakings of the body as these two energies collide. These shakings can continue until the higher energy has the opportunity to work through and transform the nature of the body. When these shakings occur, going into a more relaxed state, practicing non-attachment and being open minded helps the absorption process and lessens the raptures.
This is a reason that the Masters stress detachment. Persisting in relaxed alignment with the Light and continuing with purification is essential to stabilizing at a new vibratory level.
As above, so below.
Just as an individual can experience rapture during their practice, today humanity as a whole is being effected by an increase of Light due to the combined effect of our sun entering alignment with what is said to be the most spiritually potent constellation, Aquarius, and the return to the physical world of the head of the Spiritual Hierarchy of Masters, the World Teacher Maitreya.
Maitreya and the Hierarchy are responsible for distributing cosmic energy to humanity and being in physical form, as Maitreya and 14 other of the Masters in Hierarchy are, immensely increases their capacity to do so. This massive increase in Light impacting humanity causes reactions as it impinges on the age-old entrenched conditioning, ideas and desires which have long held humanity in thrall.
The old structures which wield the old energy are not willing to give up their power gracefully yet the new Light, everyday increasing in potency, is not going away. The uprisings in the middle east, the dramatic natural disasters and the general discontent in people are reactions playing out as collective raptures around the world. They will persist until the collective body of humanity is sufficiently purified and acclimated to the new incoming Light. Transmission Meditation was given as a field of service to aid this process and help minimize the raptures that inevitably occur during a time such as we are in.
From this angle, Camping’s vision has a grain of truth. Rapture is happening but it is not a release from this world to another but the Light of the heavenly realms pouring into this dense physical reality to bring a more heavenly state of existence here. Raptures particularly can be seen as accelerating since the beginning of this year.
Camping’s time frame also roughly corresponds to what Share International magazine has put out regarding Maitreya’s approach to the general public. Share International has reported, as of May, Maitreya has appeared twenty-nine times on television in the United States and seven times in Mexico and is indicated by Benjamin Creme that he “probably will be much more forthcoming from now on.”
While many have pointed out that nobody knows the exact day that will be looked back upon as the moment the world exited the old and began the new, we all are looking upon the unfolding of events which signal a movement towards a most different future.
At the soul level, people know what is happening and each soul communicates to their personality as best it can this information in the language and analogies, however crude the message may become, the remarkable nature of this time.
Practicing intense meditation such as Transmission Meditation allows you to help serve as a mid-wife does to birth the new as well as achieving greater clarity into an event which only happens once upon a planet.
