Significance of the Topic of the Seven Stones to Us – (2402)

Future – Esoteric and Psychological

The topic of the seven stones may at first seem to be something totally far fetched as we find ourselves far from actualising it. None the less it is still worthwhile making an effort to understand the topic. The benefits of understanding it a little better, appear to us on two fronts.

These two fronts being the esoteric and psychological.

Esoteric

Knowing that the Monad of a human being can work to obtain the first stone, then throw that first stone and later reiterate it to achieve the second, and then repeat that five more times to finally arrive at the seventh stone tells us a lot about the possibilities of our Monad and Its future.

Obviously a Monad can only throw the stone whilst in creation, and the greater the number of stones the quicker it takes to reiterate a new one.

Obviously too, that each time a Monad reiterates a stone it fulfills a certain mission related to helping humanity.

It seems fair that a Monad would want to reiterate the stone several times. Because each time it does so, humanity is helped, a mission is fulfilled and the wisdom, and power of the Monad increases. Plus it could tell us that this Monad will also be active in the future, that is in future races and rounds perhaps.

Psychological

A person may be scared that their Monad would want more than the number of stones that it has achieved in the past. For example, a Monad may be working to achieve It’s third stone and It may want more than that, and the person may perceive that and that may produce a fear in the person. Because it means for that person to be in creation once again asleep and loaded full of ego with the suffering and karma that comes with that.

Knowing that a new stone can be gotten by a descent helps that fear to subside as well as knowing that later stones can be obtained much quicker than the previous ones, also helps. Also knowing that after each stone the Monad shines more brilliantly in wisdom and power than before, also helps.

Understanding that we are just the vehicle of a Being, also helps. We do not have much choice and to fear and resist, is just pain, to co-operate is always the best and is the end of psychological suffering and the fear that accompanies this suffering.

The topic of the seven stones helps one to make this fear subside, and consequently it allows one to surrender more to one’s Being, as well as to expand one’s perspective of the work of the realisation of the Monad and Its will. 

Conclusion

In short, this topic addressed in the retreat is very helpful as it diminishes substantially the fear that a person can have towards the realisation of the Being and the somewhat 'futility of it all', that can be felt, due to the wrong belief that a Being may work hard to win Its realisation then throw it again. A Being may do this, and if it does do this, it does this for a reason, and that reason is clearly explained in the topic of the seven stones.
