Animal magnetism

Nduffy:

A term originally used by Austrian mystic and physician Franz Anton Mesmer (1734–1815) to describe the energy field that surrounds all living things and by which he was able to exert a hypnotic influence on others. Actually, all people carry a magnetic forcefield that is determined by the rate of vibration of their own individual thoughts and feelings and records of past lives, both being recorded in the “electronic circle” or “[[electronic belt]]” of each lifestream.

We speak of “personal magnetism” or a “magnetic personality.” This is the intangible quality made up of the combination of many complex factors of the ego. However, there is only one true magnetism that is desirable, and that is the magnetism of the Christ who is the Polestar of each man’s being. All else is the glitter and glamour of the human—the maya of imperfection that should be handled daily.

== Types of animal magnetism ==

For the purposes of simplification, we have categorized four types of animal magnetism. The records of personal imperfection in each one are the open doors through which these forces enter, gathering more of their kind from the accumulation of the mass karma of the race.

'''Malicious animal magnetism''' works through the subconscious, the [[etheric body]]. It is malice aforethought—conscious, willful and directed evil such as the many forms of hatred and jealousy that are the foundations of most criminal acts.

'''Ignorant animal magnetism''' works through the [[mental body]] and manifests as many forms of density—slowness of mind and action, clogging and sluggishness in the functioning of the physical body, untidiness and dust in one’s surroundings, a tendency to have accidents and, in general, being out of step with life. Ignorant animal magnetism is the [[Antichrist]]—the mass effluvia of human creation that opposes the expansion of the Christ light throughout the world. Problems connected with mechanical failures and electrical mishaps can often be traced to this form of animal magnetism.

'''Sympathetic animal magnetism''' works through the [[emotional body]] and thus vibrates on the level of the [[astral plane]]. Human sympathy, personal attachments and involvements not based upon the Christ are among the manifestations of sympathetic animal magnetism. It is the most difficult form of animal magnetism to pin down and deal with because it always masquerades as some form of human concern, all the way from deep affection to neighborly kindness. However, when friendships become possessive and are based on what one individual can get from another, this can never lead to the freedom of the individual and his ascension in the Light.

'''Family mesmerism''' is one manifestation of animal magnetism; it involves the exertion of unwholesome control of one individual over another in the name of family ties. This name is often given to hypnotic ties whereby we allow ourselves to be open to energy of negativity coming from members of our families.

'''Delicious animal magnetism''' works through the [[physical body]] and involves overindulgence in the gratification of one or more of the five senses. The attainment of mastery must include balance in all areas of living. Prolonged abuses to the physical body such as gluttony, sexual excesses and perversions, the use of harmful stimulants such as alcohol, psychedelic drugs, dope and other unwholesome indulgences lead to physical disease, insanity and death. In many cases the results are carried over for several embodiments. When entire communities are involved, cataclysm is the end result.

Such manifestations of a lack of self-control not only indicate an absence of mastery, but also they are sins against the [[Holy Spirit]], for they violate the temple of God and the sacredness of the life force. It is each one’s responsibility to maintain the purity of the life-stream that flows forth from the [[I AM Presence|Presence]] twenty-four hours a day. To this end were the [[four lower bodies]] created, and that man might win his victory in the world of form. Mastery over the four lower bodies is mastery over the [[four elements]] (etheric—fire; mental—air; emotional—water; physical—earth).

Ikhnaton and Nefertiti

The messengers Mark L. Prophet and Elizabeth Clare Prophet were embodied as Ikhnaton (Amenhotep IV) and Nefertiti, who ruled Egypt in the fourteenth century B.C. Pharaoh Ikhnaton introduced a revolutionary religion into Egypt based on the worship of the one God, and he is remembered for having founded the first form of modern monotheism.

==Ikhnaton’s monotheism ==

Thirty-three centuries ago, Ikhnaton (or Akhenaten, as the name is sometimes spelled) recognized the one God in the spiritual Sun behind the physical sun, and he called this God “Aton.” Ikhnaton visualized the Infinite One, Aton, as a divine being “clearly distinguished from the physical sun” yet manifest in the sunlight. Ikhnaton gave reverence to the “heat which is in the Sun,” as he saw it to be the vital heat that accompanied all Life.<ref>James Henry Breasted, ''A History of Egypt: From the Earliest Times to the Persian Conquest'' (New York: Charles Scribner’s Sons, 1912), pp. 360, 361.</ref>

Ikhnaton created a symbol that depicted Aton as a golden circular disk from which diverging beams radiated. He was careful to point out that the solar disk itself was not God but only a symbol of God. Each diverging beam, or ray, ended in a hand extending over every person as a blessing, and in some depictions the hand brought the ankh, the symbol of Life, directly to Ikhnaton and his Queen.

Ikhnaton also saw God as a personality whose “beams nourish every field” and “live and grow for thee.”<ref>Cyril Aldred, ''Akhenaten: Pharaoh of Egypt'' (London: Thames and Hudson, Abacus, 1972), p. 133.</ref> These beams are the very seeds of Light and sparks of Light that form our own threefold flame in the secret chamber of our heart. (Is this conception of the sun disc with its emanating rays not similar to the masters’ current instruction on the [[I AM Presence]]—the Sun of Righteousness—and the [[crystal cord]] through which the energies of the Sun descend to embodied man?)

Impatient with the practices of priests of Amon at Thebes, the king not only denounced their gods and ceremonies as a vulgar idolatry, but built a new capital for the kingdom, Akhetaten (known to archaeologists as [[Tel el Amarna]]), located nearly three hundred miles north of the ancient city of Thebes. Ikhnaton prohibited the worship of the old [[Nephilim]] gods, particularly Amon, the chief god, and ordered their names and images erased from the monuments. These were both embodied and disembodied fallen angels, to whom the black priests had erected their altars.

In his total loyalty to the one God of the Sun, Amenhotep IV changed his theophoric name to Ikhnaton, “He who is beneficial to Aton.” His passionate songs to Aton have been preserved as the fairest remnant of Egyptian literature.

: Thy dawning is beautiful in the horizon of the sky
: O Living Aton, Beginning of life.
: When thou risest in the eastern horizon,
: Thou fillest every land with thy beauty....
: How manifold are thy works!
: They are hidden from before us,
: O sole god, whose powers no other possesseth.
: Thou didst create the earth according to thy heart.<ref>Will Durant, ''The Story of Civilization'' (New York: Simon & Schuster, 1954) I:206, 208. Durant comments on this poem: “The obvious similarity of this hymn to Psalm CIV leaves little doubt of Egyptian influence upon the Hebrew poet” (p. 210).</ref>

Seven hundred years before Isaiah, Ikhnaton proclaimed the vitalistic conception of the Deity, found in the trees and flowers and all forms of Life—with the sun as the emblem of the ultimate power he now proclaims as the I AM Presence. Although the consciousness of the people was not ready for the one God in Ikhnaton’s day, the impact of monotheism is felt to the present day throughout the world’s great religions.

== End of their reign ==

Unfortunately, the reign of Ikhnaton and Nefertiti was but a tender interlude in Egypt’s era of power. An idealistic reformer, Ikhnaton was not wont to send Egyptians to war in defense of dependencies of Egypt that had been invaded. As a result, the Egyptian empire shrank, and the ruler found himself without funds or friends.

In the seventeenth year of Ikhnaton’s reign, he, his wife and the eldest daughter disappeared. Scholars have guessed that they were murdered. By whom and when and how is unknown. [[El Morya]] has shown us that it was the chief military leader, General Horemheb, who led a revolt against Ikhnaton and Nefertiti, and stabbed them to death.

The black priests reestablished the former gods and obliterated the name and image of Aton and Ikhnaton. Ikhnaton died at the age of thirty, having failed to accomplish his dreams, and his successor, Tutankhamen, reinstated the old gods and feast days and returned the capital to Thebes.

== Influence on Judaism ==

Some have theorized that the monotheism of the Hebrews was founded upon the Egyptian pharaoh Ikhnaton’s worship of the one sun god. In about A.D. 80 the Jewish historian Josephus quoted Manetho, an Egyptian historian, as stating that Moses was a priest of the Egyptian city of Heliopolis who became the leader of a group of heretics (i.e., the Hebrews).

According to Hebrew tradition, Moses was raised in Egypt and is said to have been educated “in all the wisdom of the Egyptians”<ref>Acts 7:22.</ref> at Heliopolis (the biblical city of On). Summarizing this theory, Robert Silverberg writes in his book ''Akhnaten: The Rebel Pharaoh'':

: Since Heliopolis was the center of the solar cult of Re, out of which Atenism developed, the wisdom Moses would have learned there could well have been the monotheistic solar worship that theologians of Heliopolis had pondered since the days of the Old Kingdom.<ref>Robert Silverberg, ''Akhnaten: The Rebel Pharaoh'' (Philadelphia: Chilton Books, 1964 ), pp. 191–92.</ref>

Others argue that the dates of Moses and Ikhnaton are not at all certain and that the Exodus of the Hebrews may have occurred a century before Ikhnaton. In 1939 Sigmund Freud published ''Moses and Monotheism'', in which he claimed that Moses was a native Egyptian and disciple of Ikhnaton who taught the religion of Aton to the Israelites.

== Legacy ==

The devotion to Truth demonstrated by these rulers is typical of the qualities required for true messengers of God. Ikhnaton’s virtue was not in military victory or in political bargaining with the priests of Amon, but in his total lack of compromise with error.

His devotion to his queen was often publicly displayed and depicted in Egyptian art. The akashic records shows that Ikhnaton had a great sense of mission to outpicture the principles of the [[Brotherhood]], not only in his private life, but also in the laws of Egypt. The culture that the king and queen brought forth at Tel el Amarna in art, in poetry and in music was under the direction of the Brotherhood, inspired from [[Venus]] and the ancient lands of Mu and Atlantis when these civilizations were at their height.

The bust of Nefertiti that can be seen today in a museum in Berlin is considered to be one of the masterpieces of the Amarna age. When one compares the portraits of Ikhnaton and Nefertiti with present-day photographs of the messengers, he will see how the characteristics of the soul are outpictured again and again in the physical form; indeed the physical form is the counterpart of the etheric. The resemblance may carry over for many embodiments until the traits change.
