Mark Probert's painting of Yada Di Shi'ite

  

"Man's Oneness with Universal Consciousness" is the title given to a session of what today is commonly called 'channeling.'  'Trance mediumship' was the usual term found in books and magazines throughout the life of Mark Probert (1907-1969).  The session transcript shared in this article is the beginning portion of the entire transcript of the discourse that was published in an eight-book series of transcripts documenting Mark Probert allowing his body to be inhabited for interims by his 'controls' or 'guides' collectively known as 'The Inner Circle Teachers of Light.'

 

Man's 'Oneness with Universal Consciousness'

 
Yada: Sena and Senaha.
 
Group: Good evening, Yada.
 
Yada: A notchi.  (Speaks in his own language)  I see you do not understand the Yu language.  So I better translate.  English is a wonderful language but also very confusing at times.  But a good artist does not stand around complaining about his tools.  He gets to work with what he got.
 
Some of you here I remember being in the room where I taught years ago and now I greet you.  I am so happy you have come back.  To those of you who have come for the first time I welcome you in the hope that you will learn whatever it is you are seeking to learn.
 
Tonight is the last night here in your city.  Tomorrow somewhere else and I will be in that somewhere else with Mark.  With all of your speeding birds you call 'planes' — the modern planes, the jets, you still have not acquired a great deal of speed.
 
You have — lying ahead of you in the near future — much more moving faster than ever before.  The trouble is can you mentally keep up with it?  But that is your problem, not mine.
 
My friends, thought is the fastest moving of any thing.  I say 'thing.'  Man is going to learn to project himself much faster by the use of the mind.  Today you have wandered out into the spaces.  But it is only baby steps yet.  You are going rapidly.  You are going to catch up with yourself.  Man is going into space because he has to.  He has no choice about it.  For him not to go would be for him to deteriorate on the earth much faster.
 
There are planets in the far reaches of the great galactic system, like the one you call the 'Milky Way.'  There are planets with beings on them very much like yourself.  And (on) some of the others there are beings, very intelligent, highly advanced beings.  They are not at all like yourself.  But life forms on a planet only when it is within some reasonable distance of a Sun, for it is only through the Sun that life can be on a planet.
 
Man brought himself here and now he is taking himself back from where he came.
 
Man is a space being.
 
The planet you are riding on called the earth is but a big ship.  In time man will be going into space.  There will be no other bodies for him to go because he will have covered them.  This is the way things stand, you may say.
 
There are beings — intelligent beings in bodies of space.
 
But man is forever and in his foreverness he must be doing something.  He cannot just sit. He is not a very good sitter.  He is driven by his great hunger for knowledge, understanding and wisdom.
 
I do not know what you are going to do in space.  Where you are going in space.  Let us say Mars because that is the only possible planet that the weather conditions can be changed so as to produce the sufficient amount of oxygen and hydrogen for a lung breather to live on.  But you may bring a couple of monkeys with you first and start them in a new kind of Eden.  You may even name them Adam and Eve!  Wouldn't that be a tremendous trick to play on humans in later times on Mars, teaching them they sprang from monkeys. 
 
But it does not make any difference what man sprang from.  It makes a difference only what he is doing now.  The past is the past.  It is a dream that has been had.  The future is still not lived yet.  It is not a dream we have had — yet.  So now it is the important time of our being. 
 
If man would learn to pay more attention to what he is doing, he would have very little need to worry regarding the future because he would know by his acts today, his tomorrows will be made. 
 
He would know this. 
 
As I mentioned last night, there is a great struggle going on here on earth.  The struggle is man to man and man against man.  All this is the growing out of his emotions due to false teachings given to him here on this planet — he has made himself blind and he has walked into for many years.  But he is coming out of this blindness.  So he has put his foot on the path of mental evolution.  His physical one is over. 
 
There will be a time where your earth will not be fit to live on. 
 
So now is the time to look for other planets.  But those places must be — conform largely to the nature of the earth, otherwise you will have all kinds of difficulties living on them. 
 
There are no other planets in your solar system that are possible for man the lung breather to live on.  Live as you now live without some great amount of mechanical things around you to protect you against the elements. 
 
When you consider it, it is amazing that the human has survived as well as he has on earth starting out when the planet was a very wild place to live on.  Fortunately he grew up with those conditions.  In this manner he learned to live with them, to adapt himself to the various changes that have taken place throughout eons of time.  Now, because man has built himself a great adaptive system, it will come in very handy for him in the future out in space. 
 
One of the most important things he must now learn to do is to learn mental communication — what is called telepathy.  It will be his great saving grace.  Telepathy.  This way, no matter how far he goes in space, he will still have communication with himself on earth. 
 
Audience: How can we develop that, Yada? 
 
Yada: It is not that simple that I can put it into a few short words so you can learn to do it right away.  It is going to take a great deal of time and patience to learn to function with telepathy.  As it is now, some of you have the ability to a degree.  But the majority of people do not have it.  And you are going to have to fight some people to train them, because they have been conditioned to believe in the evilness of the activities of the mind, not knowing that that is what they are living in — in mind. 
 
This includes time and space.  You are moving around, everything is moving around in the mind, not in something called time and space.  You see, you are not going to be able to teach this very quickly because you have to teach, to get to the person's consciousness that he is not living in mind or an entity called time and space. 
 
Time and space is mind — is in our consciousness. 
 
That's what makes telepathy possible. 
 
Audience: Then it takes mostly observation?  Self-observation and the will to learn of something that most people do not have any awareness of, telepathy, clairvoyance — are going to be a necessary part of the human life in the future.  But this does not mean to say that all people will have to learn this because all do not have to learn anything.  It is no needed of them.  They are workers — because of their not knowing and ignorance they are workers.  Some of us are good receivers but not good senders.

Yada: Well, that can be remedied by proper training.  It isn't that only a few people have this quality of receiver or sender.  We all have both.  We simply need proper training to bring it out, to make us aware of it.

Look, please, even today in your modern age with all the talk of not believing in clairvoyance that has been going on for centuries, you have people today that are asleep, who doubt it and making chattering noises that you call 'laughter' when someone who can do these things — talks about it.

You can always tell when a educated person is around.  You can tell them by the sound of their chattering jackasses, the sleepers.  But they are in their place.  I do not criticize them.  I only tell what is.  Everyone of us, we are in our place.  Man does not grow en masse.  That is an individual's work.

There is much talk today of collective learning.  It cannot work.  It is the individual that learns, not the collective mind.  The collective mind does nothing constructive.  But it does much to destroy.

A lady asked me one time, 'Wouldn't man find himself in a better position if he could learn to read minds?  Not with the animal in him.  No!

He would be in a worse position.  This animal has to be taken out of man before he can properly handle these higher learning because he would use them to destroy himself and others by misuse.

Many coming to hear me talk and seeing the way I come through this man, using his body — they consider him (Mark) a spiritualist, a medium and that he is communicating with spirits, or as the Bible would say 'he has familiars.'  Hm!  Have you a familiar?  How do you know?  Did you ever get familiar with me?  A familiar is a friend, not a haunt or a spook.  A familiar is a educator, a teacher.  He or she comes to broaden the thoughts of those around him.

What is the purpose of giving if the receiver holds on to whatever is given to them — fails to share it with his fellow man?  The gift has been wasted.

When you are offered something, take it.  Take it gracefully and gratefully, because you are going to give it to something else.  And if you deny what is extended to you, you deny many others.  If gifts were given to one to keep, who would care to give and who care really to receive.  A gift of any kind is good only so long as you can use it, put it into action.  An artist becomes great by constant application.  So it is true of my creative works.

I have said this before and I feel it is necessary to say it again.  I, Yada, am not of the astral world.  My understanding of life has released me from that sort of action.  And so it should release you in the course of time.

The true student of life seeks to go beyond the astral world.  The astral world is but an anteroom where most humans go and wait until they fall back into the physical world again.  For they have not understood the nature of their feeling self, their emotional self by which humans become attached to the physical world when they come here.

We hear much talk in the field of metaphysics where the individual believes that he must destroy all of his desires, so-called lower desires.

To do that would be to annihilate yourself of that how creation comes into being.  Most of these people have guilt feelings regarding themselves so they seek to get out of the world.  They really seek to destroy themselves.  It is an intense desire for self-punishment — that you are not good enough.  This is not in the inner teachings.  The inner teachings are for life — not for death.

The true inner teachings are to let you know how wonderful the desire-self is and to use our desires intelligently, guide them.

You hear much talk about control.  We have talked about it many times in the past.

To control is not to destroy.

It is to guide, to move intelligently, usefully.  And you do not have to (do) what is called 'good' to do that.  Goodness is a sense of the individual regarding himself and the world around him.  What I talk of is balanced action, not merely goodness.  Goodness is not enough.  Goodness and badness, these are abstract terms and it regards the individual feelings.

Life works in two ways called positive and negative.

You cannot have one without the other.  You may have the greatest ambitions to spread what you call 'good' around the environment but your 'good' may be someone's 'bad.'

Everyone in the world—or practically—who does not understand the laws of life and that everything is operated by law, believes that such men as Hitler, Stalin and others like them: Genghis Khan, Alexander the Great, Napoleon — they are all evil and now that they are dead, they are of necessity in hell.  Mostly the Christian hell.  That is the hottest hell there is.

Of course, this is not true.  The only way any of these tyrants of life, these dictators, these people who have stepped across the earth bringing blood and pain in their wake, the only way they are going to suffer is should they have a sense of guilt about what they have done.  And I can assure you immediately that when this happens these people are in for the worst kind of hell — far hotter, if that is possible, than the Christian hell — far hotter because it is of their own making.

But you would not be surprised that we, the individuals, do that to ourselves?  But we do it out of ignorance, out of not knowing any better.  But again, can we believe that any of these people mentioned committed only evil?  Of course not.

Look, please, Hitler—the most recent of these—his ambition was to make a pure-blooded German or Germany.  But, my friends, pure-blooded anything doesn't last very long because it was too delicate.  These are not these strong combinations.  It cannot last.

Life, action always needs strength but he did not seem to be aware of that.  He was one-pointed in thought.  He had not looked around to examine nature, nature's laws.  So he brought a great deal of violence to this world.  Yet, in his drive, in all of his effort to control things, he destroyed what he wanted most.  He brought together people of a vast variety of nationalities and of different blood.  He brought them together so that today Germany is more impure blood by far than ever before.

By the very method used he worked against law.  He crushed himself to death.  Not one of his ambitions succeeded.  But he is a determined man.  Do you think he is going to sit in the astral world and weep tears of grief over what he did?  Neither he nor Alexander the Great, nor any of the others.  They were all ambitious men seeking self-power.  And that self-power, the will for it is still in them.  And they will come back and try again.  You can be sure of that.

A thought unsatisfied, unfulfilled keep us driving until we fill it.

It becomes our work.  It becomes our essence of our life.  And how are we going to shoo them away?  We cannot!

I will not come back to the earth — not by taking the biological path because I do not need it.  And you must arrive at that in time.  You see, my state is not because I am better than you or different than you.  And it is in that difference that I am free.

Consciousness is mind and all the universe and universes is consciousness.

So I am.  Man seeks oneness with the universal consciousness.  Many people call this 'God.'  But this is the wrong terminology.  It will lead you astray.  Gods are for worshiping.  That is all.  They could not exist.  Their ego would die if they didn't get worship.

Just lately I have heard much talk in your world, especially in the country (USA) that "God is dead.  And someone in the distant background cries, "God is dead.  Long live God.  The king is dead.  Long live the king."

But you see, that God that died is that God made from human thinking — thinking in fear and anxiety.

Thinking, hoping of finding some security in the physical world.

This fear of the physical world is a fear of death, not life.  When a physical body dies, the one who has dwelt in that body continues to live.

Why?  Because it — the mental self was never born.  The physical self — yes.  The mental self — no.  The mental self is, has been and always will be — forever.  It knows nothing about time and space.  It simply is and in its is-ness it creates.
