LIGHT WORKERS EVERYWHERE, our subject this week is astral attack. Other schools of thought might call it possession, dark forces, negative thought forms, or the negative ideas within yourself or from outside sources. Regardless of what you call it, there is a light-worker way of handling this difficult condition, and that is what we shall do as workers of the light, for the light and in the light.
The reason we bring it to your attention now is that here at headquarters, many workers of the highest intentions and devotion, and of great spiritual evolvement themselves, during this spring and summer cycle have experienced, for the first time in some cases, astral attack. We shall explain why this is occurring during this rending of the seventh and final veil that separates man from knowing and expressing his Christ consciousness and powers.
Symptoms of Astral Attacks
What does a person feel when he or she has an astral attack? Physically, one may have a difficulty or a problem in the physical body that has no physical cause. One worker, for instance, expressed it this way: “I felt as though I was beaten up or I had been through a prize-fighting ring, even though there had been no physical exercise experience at all.”
Another may have a stiff neck; no reason, no cause, no draft, no misuse of the area. One might have pains in any part of the body, where there was no conscious reason for the occurrence, no past history in that area. Emotionally, you may experience a sudden depression, an inexcusable irritability; again, with no cause, no reason, no outside influence, such as a friend or a world condition that would bring this about in your own thoughts. Mentally, you may have thoughts that you do not usually attribute to yourself, that you have long overcome, that are not natural to your way of thinking. All these things can be symptoms of astral attack.
Those who have the psychic senses open are the most vulnerable and are to be protected and watched over, and to be zealous over themselves, more than any other. For through the psychic senses, such as clairaudience, clairvoyance, and impressions and thought projections, these are the individuals who sometimes can be driven to extremes and have serious problems. That’s how one would feel.
Reasons for Astral Attacks
Why do we have astral attacks, particularly at this time? First of all, these are the forces, powers on the astral that are being dislodged from their complacent place due to the rending of the seventh veil. For we remind all of you that the astral is being affected as greatly as the Earth plane by this rending process. They are feeling the higher influences and vibratory rates as much as we are on the Earth plane.
Secondly, there are levels on the astral which correspond to the levels of development or work on the Earth that you personally represent or with which you are involved. For example, there are astral individuals who either have been in your profession or circumstance or have expressed your level of consciousness and spiritual development in their own ongoing. So, as you pass through changes in consciousness, they too are experiencing similar changes on their world.
Thirdly, astrals that may become attached to you or try to contact you could very well be individuals with whom you have been associated in past lives. That past could be in this lifetime — in other words, relatives and friends that you knew before — or it could be in lives of which you are not even aware. But they are aware of the relationship and come to you because they see what you’re going through, or you may have been close, or you may have owed them some form of debt. So, as they are going through their changes, or you are going through your changes or realizations or upliftments, they are attracted to you.
Don’t you have friends or associates who call you up long distance or write you letters and say, “What’s going on; have you any idea?” Well, the same applies on the astral. You have so many associates and relationships that you haven’t any idea of consciously. Not even those of us who are awakened to some of our past lives can possibly know or understand the intricacies of past karmic attachments on the astral and other planes.
Another subtle means by which the astral becomes attached or attracted to you is because he or she is related to or associated with your immediate friends, family or associates. This is why, in spiritual teaching and direction, we have asked you always to select those of the highest vibration, those with whom you wish to have the best associations and experiences. For if you continue to associate on the physical with those of a lesser development or consciousness, the astrals attracted to them or surrounding them are going to become attached to you. So, if you are a “light” — if you have a high level of consciousness and understanding — and associate with those of a lesser kind, you not only invite them but also invite all their friends and families from other levels of development!
The same applies to the places where you visit. This is the most subtle form of astral attachment or attraction. Some of us cannot avoid going into schools, businesses, restaurants, movie houses, buses, trains, hospitals, and so forth. Every place that you visit has people, and those people have associates on the astral who are connected with them in one way or another — consciously, unconsciously, willingly and unwillingly.
If you are a light worker, you are open and vulnerable, whether you are psychic or not. Therefore, those astrals visiting or attracted to those places, or wishing to find some sort of answer to their problems, are going to find you the most interesting, the most attractive, the most vulnerable, the most fascinating one to answer their problems or from whom they can get energies. You will have to be that much more zealous.
Indeed, we speak of cleansing all the time. Even the angels, as they descend into the lower vibratory rates, go through a form of “bath” upon their return to the celestial planes. They cleanse from their auric field anything less than the highest celestial forces that may have become attached to their auric energies.
How to Handle Astral Attacks
How do we handle this problem of astral attachment? The first and most important thing to remember is: you must protect yourself at all times with the white light of your own Christ Self. As in dealing with negative thought forms, negativity within yourself or others, the same applies to any astral attachment. Surround yourself with a cocoon of light. Put the same white light around all others, including the astrals or any negative force that you are aware of or that you think might be near you. [See “Protection Technique: Cocoon of Light.”]
Second, it is important for us as light workers, as representatives of the spiritual government of our solar system, to teach, discuss, project the hierarchal program to all of those on the astral just as we would to our closest friend and associate right here on the physical plane. Do
you feel ashamed or afraid to address those astrals as a teacher, as a disciplinarian, as a leader? For it is very important. That is why they have come to you, have been attracted to you.
Third, do not allow anyone to have any power over your life, except as is given by your own higher Self. If you are not aware of your higher Self, just believe so strongly that your higher Self guides you, that you insist on completing and giving that message from your higher Self to all others.
Fourth, you must really desire for the astrals to be raised as much as you desire it for yourself and for everyone who is most beloved to you. Desire their upliftment and transmutation, their understanding and higher consciousness, as you desire it for yourself and your beloved family.
Fifth, and lastly, it is very important that the teachers, the guides and, above all, the higher Self of those who are attracted to you from the astral come and take over their lives. There are teachers and guides on the other side — and every person, every entity, no matter how low in consciousness, also has his own higher or Christ Self within him — to guide, to lead, to teach, and to give the best for that person’s development.
So, don’t look at these astrals as something totally undesirable. They may have come to you for a very good reason: for you to turn them over to their teachers and guides, and their own higher Self, on their plane of action, not on your plane of action. You certainly have more people on this physical plane that you can work with, or who should be coming to you for help and guidance, than you possibly can handle in a single lifetime.
So, don’t take on the responsibility that you are a teacher, a guide or a leader of astrals. For that must be done on their plane of action, whereas your work is on this Earth plane. But rending the veil between the two planes gives you an opportunity to work as one. For we are one creation. The Father-Mother God has created the sons of the Christ. We are that Christ, to share with them this desire for upliftment, truth and love.

It is time for us to concentrate on sending forth the light into the dark passages of man’s conscious, subconscious thoughts and memories, to free him from bondage to those thoughts which are restricting him and which no longer should impede him in his progress back to the light.
As you came up through your own spiritual awakening in this lifetime, perhaps some of you had such thoughts. I can recall well the thought I had as I delved into basic metaphysics back in 1955 and 1956. As I studied some of the basic realities of religion, of spiritual teachings of applied metaphysics as taught by Unity School of Christianity, Science of Mind, Divine Science, Thomas Troward, Emily Hopkins, and so forth, I understood that there were indeed error concepts that I had believed in simply because this was the way I was brought up in my religious beliefs.
have I, in many lives, but predominantly the incarnation which you have come to call that of Jesus, the teacher who lived and worked in Bethlehem, Nazareth and along the shores of Galilee. Many are the meanings to these names and to my experiences and to my ways of expressing these thoughts and these fleshly matters to you.
Yes, it is known unto you that in the physical, fleshly form before the crucifixion I also performed many wonders and many talents, unto man’s mental consciousness, that were not possible to the average man undedicated to the Christ-light principle. But still more was performed of greater aspects when the crucifixion was completed and the resurrection was enacted. Upon that day which you call the rise of the Easter morn, I appeared in the light body unto Mary and I said unto Mary, “Touch me not, for I am not yet ready or solidly entrenched in the third dimension with the fourth dimensional body.”
In our broadcast this week let us discuss some of these esoteric matters relating to the balance of conscious and subconscious. This theme actually was inspired by the following article that the Associated Press posted on December 12, 2003, concerning a potential flipping of the Earth’s magnetic poles:
“As the soul evolvement occurs for the race planetary structure of man’s body on the Earth, it has required two types of vibratory rates, one a negative and one a positive; or, you might term it, feminine-masculine, East and West, minus and plus. These are the mathematical formulas, these are the balancing equations, that take place in the form which you now know as physical form for mankind upon the Earth.
“This is what is being attempted on the Earth planet at this time, as far as the Eastern and Western Hemispheres are concerned. For one has expressed as a passive element in the East and the other has expressed as a positive element in the West. For thousands of years these two have been in conflict with one another, and actually at war with one another; whereas now they have to come into a balanced, equalized equation of cooperation, one with the other and each serving the other for the total whole.
There is no one answer. But there are several things we, the New Age enlightened, the charter citizens of the I Am Nation, should consider.
Suddenly, Shasta came running by me, bounded right up to the German Shepherd and started playing with him. They joyfully rolled together in the grass.
The entire preparation for my incarnation as Jesus took thousands of years to prepare. In the etheric realms I had known every step of that life, for that was a life preordered and predestined. Very few lives are so ordered and predestined.
The Second Coming is literal as well as spiritual, for the individual man as well as for the race. As I heralded the First Coming, and bore the seed for that event, so I am honored to plant the seed and spread the word for the Second Coming of Jesus, the Master, the personification of the I Am that I Am, Holy God, Lord Jehovah. . . .
The important issue for you to know, to understand and to believe beyond all doubt is that the Father and I are one. For I am in the Father and the Father is in me. I am created from the Father, as each of you is created from the Father. We are one, for we are one in Christ spirit. The only Son of God is the Christ spirit. Each man aims toward his Christ consciousness, which is his Godliness, instead of his mortal self, which is body and physical.
newborns, the fawns are helpless and completely dependent upon their mother. In this case, the two fawns also represent a balance of two polarities, positive-male and negative-female, as were the German Shepherd puppies in my dream of
In a second dream, Shasta was inside the house with me. She was a lively puppy, several months old. Gleefully we romped together, absorbed in our play.
In a final dream segment, I was at my family home in Lufkin, Texas. Jonathan and others of the family also were there. Tremendous rains poured down and there was great flooding. The house and all of us were washed downstream in the flood, but everyone remained safe. I wondered what had become of Shasta.
accompanied me. Also, while I talked with the shopkeeper, my former dog Cheyenne appeared. The shopkeeper went back inside to check his stock, but I remained outside. Happily, I petted and interacted lovingly with both my dogs. (In the dream, I had no awareness that Shasta recently had made the transition, yet I knew that Cheyenne had been my former dog.) Two other large dogs, apparently the shopkeeper’s, also came on the scene.
