Demigods oversee angels and earthlings and, as mentioned, demigods have administrative responsibilities. In ancient cultures such as within Africa, for example, most of the worship was dedicated to the demigods.
In many Third World cultures today, much of the worship is also dedicated to the demigods. As mentioned earlier, God has agents whom He has empowered to carry out certain functions for Him.
The demigods can sometimes cause interference or conflicts in the material world, so people worship them as a way to pacify them.
Sometimes Western scholars misunderstand this and think that African cosmology reveres many gods. There is one Supreme God, but these traditions recognize the importance of the demigods and the duties and roles that they perform.
Before Buddha came into this universe, there was more interaction between the
demigods and the people of this particular planet. Priests would conduct rituals to invite the company of the demigods. Buddha ended many of the ritualistic activities because people began to distort and misuse them.
Buddha brought in a new era which emphasized a lifestyle of nonviolence, ethics, and moral responsibility. He brought about a focus on a peaceful state of existence. This meant that he curtailed excessive contact with the demigods and shifted the focus from transcendence to peace.
Although demigods continually appear in our midst, we have become less and less aware of them.
The devas are a large part of our day-to-day experiences. Astrology is under the jurisdiction of the devas. No one on earth can produce the sun or the moon, cause them to appear on a daily basis, or create the basic minerals we find in the earth.
These activities are under the control of the devas. There has never been a time when we did not associate with some of our higher brothers, sisters or parents from other dimensions.
There has never been a time when we have been left home alone without higher contacts. There is definitely contact today, as demonstrated by some of the current space expeditions.
Many of the astronauts from these expeditions are now engaged in studies of these beings because of their experiences in space. Some astronauts have reported being followed by alien beings, and have had tremendous realizations. Occurrences such as these will increase in the years to come.
The Need for Higher Assistance The material universes are environments provided for beings who have chosen, for various reasons, to be outside their natural home.
These universes are environments where we are imprisoned because of our envy of God. Life is nothing more than the process of reformation.
Living in the material universes is like being in school; we are consciously or unconsciously attending different classes and taking various tests in the hope that we will finally graduate to the spiritual world. We have different experiences according to what lessons we must learn for our unfoldment.
Every major prophet tells us, as Jesus said: “Love not this world nor the things of this world.” Why did prophets such as Jesus, Muhammad and Buddha place so much emphasis on the higher kingdom and disparage this world and all it represents? Why did they constantly tell us about rectification and reformation?
Because, as ambassadors of the spiritual world, they came to enlighten us about how to graduate from the inferior material sphere and become situated in the superior spiritual realm.
Because the Lord is so merciful, He repeatedly sends us ambassadors to help enliven
our consciousness. These great acaryas (spiritual masters) teach not only by their words but by their example.
Human beings and the demonic forces have tried to cover up and corrupt their teachings in such a way as to pit religion against religion.
All the major teachers have told us that we should love our neighbors as ourselves and that we should love God with all of our heart. They have also all told us that this world is not our original home.
It is no accident that such diverse yet harmonious teachers have made this consistent, universal presentation. Consider how similar their messages have been: not one major prophet, not one bona fide teacher has said that this world is our home.
Instead, these teachers have constantly emphasized that the kingdom of God is the real home that we seek. They are not just trying to get us to be escapists and run away from life.
Instead, they are trying to bring us back to reality and to help us escape from this material prison. Although they come from diverse traditions, their messages are the same.
Just as there are demigods and angels working on behalf of humankind, demonic agents are also extremely active in the world right now. There is a war going on at this time between the pious and the impious entities.
Many of the earth changes we will be experiencing in the coming years will be due to evil entities making their last attempt to cause massive chaos and pandemonium.
As a result of this, we are going to experience many more wars, both on gross and subtle levels. The idea of a new world order, or of a one-world government, is not a matter of speculation.
It is on the way to becoming a reality. The issue has become: who will control that one-world government, that one-world order? That is what the conflict is about between the pious and impious beings. The struggle between these two forces is causing many of the conflicts and transitions that individuals are experiencing at this
particular time.
This struggle may flare up externally as war. It may flare up as tribal tension. It may flare up as religious tension. They are all symptoms of what is happening on the subtle level.
One of the most devastating weapons in this regard is mind control. As we enter the
twenty-first century, we’ll see that such subversive tactics will increasingly be influencing world citizens. However, angelic beings are also here doing their work.
You may even recognize that you are a visitor yourself who has a tremendous amount of responsibility to help bring about a higher level of collective consciousness in this particular universe.
Preparing for the future
As you are more open to assistance from higher powers, you will begin to have certain experiences. You will start to have more activity in your dreams. Some of you will begin to feel some pulsation in the area of the third eye.
This pulsation is due to the awakening of a cakra (energy centers in the subtle body) that has been lying dormant. The fields of psychology and anthropology emphasize that human beings use less than ten percent of their brain capacity.
This means that many of our abilities remain unused. Day-to-day we witness paranormal events that traditional, empirical, reductionistic schemes of knowledge cannot fully explain. We see that some people are able to heal the sick.
Some people are mental telepathists and are able to read minds. Some people have the sense of clairvoyance and are able to see into the future. Our present material scientific laws do not understand, and cannot deal with these phenomena in their totality.
However, we know that these paranormal occurrences do exist; we may even know people who have experienced some of them. Because of the transition that the planet is experiencing and will experience for a long time to come, we can no longer hold back this kind of information.
Many people need to be become more receptive as extraordinary phenomena begin to take place. In your lifetime, you are going to see an unusual kind of life force on this planet.
You are going to have more contact with other-worldly beings than has happened for millennia. You are going to determine what the nature of life will be and what the future of the human race holds for all of us.
In these discussions we are not asking you to accept anything on blind faith. We are
definitely asking that you not immediately reject anything either. We suggest that you do some research for yourself.
Just ponder the basic points, investigate them and, most importantly, try to know better how to protect yourself against subtle forces so that you will not become a casualty.
If you take these simple steps, you will be one of those who help to bring about a new era for humankind.
