John-Roger, 1975.<\/em><\/p>\n

This Q&A with John-Roger is sourced from a live Q&A with John-Roger at Prana, Los Angeles, June 5, 1975.\u00a0 It is edited for use on the New Day Herald website.\u00a0 We recommend listening to the original.\u00a0 It was previously released as a September 2016 SAT seminar.\u00a0 If you are a SAT subscriber<\/a>, you can purchase it in our online store<\/a> or access it through That Which Is<\/a> online.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Question:\u00a0\u00a0 What does Father-Mother-God mean?<\/p>\n

John-Roger:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0It means positive-negative polarity.\u00a0 But if you sit there and say positive-negative polarity people are going to say, \u201cWhat are you talking about?\u201d<\/p>\n

The lower consciousness within each individual tends to be ritualistic doing its habit patterns over and over.\u00a0 It likes the familiarity of things. If you establish within a spiritual framework something they can hold on to as an abstraction of high consciousness, it gives them a form of comfort in the lower self, so that they can feel freer, intellectually, to move into the things that ordinarily would block them.\u00a0 They’re steps in this progression into this total reality.<\/p>\n

And so you provide the necessary steps in the Movement of Spiritual Inner Awareness for whoever comes to you.\u00a0 Some people will come and you won’t have to provide very many steps. And others you’ll have to provide the boardwalk beside the stairs, and platforms in between, and benches to rest on.\u00a0 They really work you out. But that’s okay too because we’ve all gone through these processes.\u00a0 Not necessarily do we all do them exactly the same way or with the same outward dramatization, but we’ve all gone through them.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Question:\u00a0\u00a0 Can you explain the Traveler Consciousness in greater detail?<\/p>\n

John-Roger:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0Greater detail than just those words?<\/p>\n

Well, we’re dealing again with this concept of Father-Mother-God.\u00a0 It’s an abstraction.\u00a0 And we’re really dealing in a non-verbal concept.\u00a0 We’re talking about a total reality that is above the negative realms that function under the Kal power and the Buddha power and Universal Mind power.\u00a0 We’re talking above that.<\/p>\n

The Traveler Consciousness is like a bridge that was established at the time of Jesus the Christ.\u00a0 He established the bridge. We all are part of that particular bridge in this dispensation.\u00a0 That is what we call the Traveler Consciousness.<\/p>\n

Now, many people who are living and dwelling as a form of spiritualized teacher in the negative realms think they are in these upper realms because the illusionary process is so tremendous.\u00a0 It’s something you have to really watch because they can use the same words talking about the totality, as the \u201cthis\u201d, the \u201cthat\u201d. \u00a0But the energy level they’re pulling from may not be that.\u00a0 It’s just a word level.<\/p>\n

Now, the Traveler Consciousness isn’t a word level.\u00a0 It’s a transmittal level.\u00a0 It transmits energy in a pure form.\u00a0 One way you can look at it is a very thin golden wire.\u00a0 Another way is it is the entire substance of all universes and all existences.\u00a0 But to gain access to it you can’t do the infinite, because that goes beyond the concept of the mind. So we make it finite and label it.\u00a0 But there’s not much more you can do with that except that after you have reached into the greater consciousness of transcending the body in a total awareness, then that knowledge and information becomes tremendously valuable to you.<\/p>\n

Here it doesn’t mean too much.\u00a0 A hamburger can make a lot more sense to you than that, especially if you’re hungry.\u00a0 But not when you get in the transcended states above the Soul Realm and higher.\u00a0 Not the Soul here, the Soul Realm and higher.<\/p>\n

Then that consciousness links you into what we call the infiniteness of the Sarmad.\u00a0 That is the Spirit God who is the first expression of Spirit.<\/p>\n

Then we come to Sat Nam who is the first manifestation of that. Then we\u2019ve got the dividing line and then the Kal power. Most all the religions of the world – everywhere from Hindu down to the latest cult functioning under that.\u00a0 They all function out of different levels of that.<\/p>\n

There are only a few on the planet that are transcended.\u00a0 Not ascended, transcended. And I use that to mean they have transcended, knowingly, the grand division of the worlds — both the inner world and the outer world.\u00a0 And all they’re doing, primarily, is leaving the manifestation of the outer work which can be seen and then the inner work goes on automatically. There is just no physical form to do it in.<\/p>\n

But we’re talking about bypassing all of that into the totality of your own God form, not the God form as a word level.\u00a0 It’s not just necessarily an experience level.\u00a0 Vocabulary is out the window at this point but, in that, it’s a process wherein any individual can go into that or have it extended to them.\u00a0 And that’s really difficult because it’s not in these worlds. It has other messengers for these worlds.<\/p>\n

But when you get up into there, then you can tap right on to the Traveler Consciousness.\u00a0 Now that’s only called that here.\u00a0 When you transcend this level you’ll hear it that way.\u00a0 But then you’ll also hear the other concept of it and you’ll move on the concept.\u00a0 You’ll know where you’re going.<\/p>\n

And then you will bypass into the Allness, which is what it’s called in other dimensions – the All-ness.\u00a0 Now I don’t know if that’s going to be of much help to you, but there it is on a vocabulary level.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Question:\u00a0\u00a0 What is the difference in manifesting Soul Consciousness through the physical world and exteriorizing the body into the Soul Realm or in Soul, in the Soul outside the body?<\/p>\n

John-Roger:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0 You can be in awareness in the Soul body and not be exteriorized out of it.\u00a0 Let me answer it in two ways.\u00a0 I’ll see if I can answer one first.<\/p>\n

When we are moved past all the sensations of the mind, the emotions, and the body — when we go back to where all that starts — that will be the energy of life and that’s what we call Soul for lack of a better word.\u00a0 You can be in that consciousness and people will feel your aliveness.\u00a0 They will feel your lovingness.\u00a0 They will feel a joy with you.\u00a0 They\u2019ll like being around you.\u00a0 Your personality has more of a dynamic flow to it.\u00a0 People are attracted into it.<\/p>\n

There are many people who are Soul-realized.\u00a0 They are functioning out of that, but not self-realized that they’re in the Soul.\u00a0 They don’t know they are in that because it takes more energy.\u00a0 In other words, you could go through a course in Mind Dynamics and go into the Alpha level, and get in there and not know any more than you were in the Beta level, because you have to know how to move the Alpha level once you get into it.<\/p>\n

That would be similar of moving into the Soul.\u00a0 You’re in it.\u00a0 Now what?\u00a0 You’re already in it.\u00a0 You’re sitting there.\u00a0 You’re in it.\u00a0 You have to have some energy, or some technique, or some qualification that will make you move that.\u00a0 The moving of it is the stirring and the creating of all existence in your own universes.\u00a0 Now, that’s great, but that’ll make you incarnate back again, and again, and again, and again because you’re still within the realms of the Negative Power.<\/p>\n

When you are exteriorized in the Soul, you are then free to dissolve all the karmic seeds that are in the Causal elements where all these are coming from, they are the emotional elements. And you start burning and releasing these.<\/p>\n

Once you do it out of the body there is no pain or suffering.\u00a0 There is no dilemma.\u00a0 There’s no confusion.\u00a0 There is nothing.\u00a0 It is just perfect.\u00a0 A miracle is wrought.<\/p>\n

Once you do it from the body, in the body, there is the pain and the suffering, because you’re up against the confusion of the conditioning of the personality by way of the body, the mind, the emotions, and the subconscious.\u00a0 And you can’t flood the subconscious because it’ll just stand against you.\u00a0 It\u2019s a void.\u00a0 A darkness.<\/p>\n

Once you get in the Soul and you stand out of it, you see it clearly.\u00a0 You see everything directly.\u00a0 You don’t see it by way of reflection, by way of illusion, or hallucination, or drama, or romanticizing.\u00a0 You just see it directly for what it is.<\/p>\n

That directness of what things are is what we refer to as formulating the God-awareness.<\/p>\n

Now when you get out of Soul in the Soul Realm, that’s liberation.\u00a0 That’s a hard one to come into.\u00a0 Many people talk like they’re in it.\u00a0 That’s hard.\u00a0 I’ll tell you right now, that’s hard.<\/p>\n

And it is only by Grace that you can get this.\u00a0 Nobody has stumbled — I can’t say that.\u00a0 There were twelve archangels who stumbled into it, but not in this dispensation, not in this planetary existence.\u00a0 This planet didn’t exist in this state, or anything similar to it, when they did this.\u00a0 That’s pre-Earth history.\u00a0 Earth existed.\u00a0 Then it disappeared.\u00a0 It was pulled up.\u00a0 It cohered, came back again, and we got Genesis.\u00a0 I’m talking about prior to that.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Question:\u00a0\u00a0 You said out of the Soul into the Soul Realm.\u00a0 Is that what you meant?<\/p>\n

John-Roger:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0 You can’t get into the Soul Realm in the emotions, or the mind, or through a projection, or wishful thinking.\u00a0 You have to have the body consciousness to do it.\u00a0 And those people who are not into that can’t do it.<\/p>\n

At the same time when you’re in that you can have the total consciousness of absoluteness right here.\u00a0 But if that’s all you’ve got being in this consciousness with God\u00a0—\u00a0the God essence – if that’s all you’ve got, you also have got a tendency for delusion wrapped up in it.\u00a0 There are a lot of people who are established in the here and nowness, absolute consciousness of truth in all of its form, thinking that they’ve got the thing, and they’ve tapped into the Kal power.\u00a0 And it is so fantastically beautiful that it’s just overwhelming, absolutely overwhelming.\u00a0 It catches a lot of people who don’t know where these other entrances are, past the mirror of reflection. It just reflects back to them this total thing that they project.<\/p>\n

If you walk up to the mirror and project absolute formlessness and absolute truth, that’s what you’ll see on the mirror.\u00a0 So you therefore think you have it because it’s a total reality in what you’re seeing.\u00a0 But the one who is in that can’t see the one who is bypassed.\u00a0 But the one who is bypassed can see those who are in that.\u00a0 But it isn’t a put down or a let down.\u00a0 It’s just a recognition of that’s what it is and that’s what they’re doing.\u00a0 It’s really fine and it’s all great, and it’s all part of this plan of unfoldment.<\/p>\n

There’s no judgment because you know better than to judge.\u00a0 You can evaluate it saying, \u201cThey’re doing this.\u201d\u00a0 But that’s not to put yourself in a hierarchy position.\u00a0 It’s just stating what it is.\u00a0\u201cI’m sitting up here on the stage.\u00a0 You’re sitting over there.\u201d\u00a0 It’s neither good nor bad.\u00a0 It’s just stating what is.\u00a0 I’m sitting higher in the room than anybody else on this level.\u00a0 That doesn’t mean I am in a hierarchy position.\u00a0 I’m just stating what it is and everybody would agree to that.<\/p>\n

But on these other levels, you can’t agree to it until you’ve had that experience.\u00a0 So it’s all baloney to you anyway.\u00a0 But it’s also a director. It points arrows to this rapidly unfolding consciousness.\u00a0 The thing that is interesting is whenever you step into the Soul awareness you will be absolutely misunderstood by ninety-nine percent of the people because you’ll seem like you’re a funny weirdo.<\/p>\n

Now there are funny weirdoes who aren’t in Soul.\u00a0 Funny weirdo by everybody’s concept of funny weirdo, not mine.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Question:\u00a0\u00a0 What exactly is the Akashic Records?<\/p>\n

John-Roger:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0 It comes from the word Akasha which means recording, and it’s a substance that is in this level.\u00a0 The Akasha is located in the Causal Realm.\u00a0 It’s a substance like a chemical substance or a book, or papyrus.\u00a0 And it is formulated electro-chemically.\u00a0 All the etchings of your consciousness are placed within that.\u00a0 It extends into you and into that.\u00a0 So the things that you have written into your consciousness that are not erased, are tabulated correctly, are then shifted up into the next level and held there as a remembrance for you.\u00a0 So the Akasha is like remembrance.<\/p>\n

All you’re doing when you are working in Soul Transcendence is pulling these things down and working them out, and pulling them down and working them out.\u00a0 You pull them at your own rate.\u00a0 They are your own obstacles.<\/p>\n

The Traveler Consciousness places no obstacles with anybody, but intensifies the awareness of the obstacles so you can confront it and dissolve it.\u00a0 Thank God for it or we’d go around not knowing that we’ve got these other things racked up on another level in these negative realms.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Question:\u00a0\u00a0 How do you get awareness of the illusion of thinking you have achieved?<\/p>\n

John-Roger:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0 Well, whenever you think you have achieved something, how do you know if you have or you haven’t?\u00a0 You come back over it again and you watch your reaction pattern.\u00a0 If you react, you haven’t.\u00a0 If you have action, you’re clear.<\/p>\n

But the consciousness directed towards it is the criteria of the evolvement, even though there is no such thing.\u00a0 But in terms of vocabulary and intellectualizing, that’s how I’m answering this.\u00a0 If somebody comes around and bangs your car and you say, \u201cWell, they banged my car. I’ll get a new one.\u201d\u00a0 You’re free from it.\u00a0 It doesn’t matter if they bang your car.<\/p>\n

But if they bang it and you think, \u201cOh God!\u201d and you’re uptight, and they bang it again the next year and next, you’re on top of it.\u00a0 But what happens is pretty soon you start to recognize, you’re cognizing, the re-cognizing that which has happened.\u00a0 It happened.\u00a0 Pretty soon you start saying, \u201cHey, that happened.\u00a0 Ha, I’m not going to get into that.\u201d\u00a0 And by the \u00a0exercising of choice, the freedom of the decision, you move past it.\u00a0 Bam your car gets hit again.\u00a0 You say, \u201cThat happens to cars.\u00a0 They run out of gas.\u00a0 They get flat tires, ignitions go out, lights are left on, you know, all sorts of things.\u00a0 That goes with cars.\u00a0 And it happens.\u201d<\/p>\n

That doesn’t mean it’s not going to happen to you.\u00a0 That goes with having a body on this level.\u00a0 But that inner awareness of what it is, is when you realize the illusion of it.\u00a0 Once you start to get the idea of what the illusions are and how to break them, it’s a domino effect.\u00a0 They just go.\u00a0 Then you’re in a crisis condition because now you don’t know who you are. You’re not your red car any longer.\u00a0 Then I come along and lay something on you. And then you’re that for awhile.\u00a0 That’s just to give you comfort!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Question:\u00a0\u00a0 At the point of where you’re living in that nowness that you said is the perfect reflection – how did you get past that point, thinking that was it?<\/p>\n

John-Roger:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0 The consciousness that is speaking now has never fallen.\u00a0 It has never incarnated into a physical body in this particular era.\u00a0 This consciousness that\u2019s speaking never went through anything.\u00a0 It is your breath that speaks.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Question:\u00a0\u00a0 But you had to get to a point of that coming through you?<\/p>\n

John-Roger:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0 That point of it coming through me was a good dice game I was in.\u00a0 You have to fulfill all your evolutionary qualities.\u00a0 I fulfilled all the evolutionary qualities. There was nothing left to do except give me the job as janitor.\u00a0 But I am saying, the Soul form that occupies this body is a God form that has nothing to do with these things.\u00a0 These questions don’t apply to it.\u00a0 It would apply more to the basic self that would occupy the body.\u00a0 How will it happen?\u00a0 It will happen because I am here.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Question:\u00a0\u00a0 Did you have a physical teacher or was your teacher on the other side going through all these steps?<\/p>\n

John-Roger:<\/strong> \u00a0 My teacher was in a physical body but not with me physically.\u00a0 But I had many physical teachers, but not that one.\u00a0 That one had a physical body but was residing in the subtle levels of consciousness with me.\u00a0 And it had been doing it for so long I didn’t know that’s who it was.\u00a0 Then, when I was released from the whole karmic flow, I realized who did it.\u00a0 I was clear.\u00a0 It was like somebody pulled the curtains and I said, \u201cWell you’ve been there all the time.\u201d\u00a0 It was like, \u201cYeah.\u201d\u00a0 And then it was, \u201cWhy’d you hide behind the curtain?\u201d\u00a0 The answer was, \u201cI didn’t.\u00a0 You had the curtains, and then you parted them and there I am.\u201d\u00a0 I just said, \u201cThat’s pretty sneaky.\u201d\u00a0 And it said, \u201cThat’s the way it goes.\u201d\u00a0 I wasn’t going to hit him.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Question:\u00a0 Having a desire level of wanting sex, love, and material comfort, is that spiritual growth?<\/p>\n

John-Roger:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0 Your question as I think I understand it is do these qualities that the body represents, and the emotions and the mind, of desires and wants for materiality, block the spiritual progression or the spiritual awareness?<\/p>\n

Let me answer this two ways.\u00a0 The way I work with you no, nothing can block that because I don’t let you in on all of it. Therefore you can’t stop it.<\/p>\n

But if you want to have knowledge of it, of the absoluteness here and now, then you must enter the discipline of using the world as a caretaker for the world, but not possessing or owning it.\u00a0 You can not possess or own anything here. And if you enter into a fixation of, \u201cI want that or this person, or a child, or this car, or that job, or success, or recognition,\u201d then you must be undermined in the whole process of fixation, because there’s no such thing.<\/p>\n

And anybody who undermines you does you a blessing, because you’re in a state of agony and a state of sorrow.\u00a0 And your present condition then would be saying \u201cnon-spiritual.\u201d<\/p>\n

But that’s also a process of crisis identification where you are working to become aware that those things aren’t really functioning for you in the here and now.\u00a0 It’s okay to have these things.\u00a0 It’s okay to, let’s say, have a desire for that in a sense of, \u201cYeah, that would make me feel good.\u201d\u00a0 But not to compromise the ethics of your beingness to get it. I’m talking about lower world consciousness from the second division down.<\/p>\n

In the Soul consciousness and in the higher Light in this absolute awareness, no, there is nothing you can do that’ll stop what I am working with you unless you say, \u201cI don’t want it,\u201d and you turn away or move towards somebody else. And the connection just drops very fast.<\/p>\n

With the dropping of it comes tremendous confusion, because all the karma that was released for you has been held in reserve. It’s just passed back to you. And it\u2019s not released entirely until you enter complete Soul consciousness.<\/p>\n

Because you are a free individual, you’re in a state of free choices.\u00a0 And because of that the choice is always yours to do with what you’ve done. I hold it in reserve.\u00a0 It’s worked out and held in reserve.<\/p>\n

But once you do something else I can no longer hold that. That’s a violation of spirituality, so it’s returned to you.\u00a0 If the person you’re going to go with or be involved with can handle that for you, that’s fantastic.\u00a0 And if they can’t, good luck.\u00a0 It feels like hell, but it isn’t.\u00a0 Just feels like it.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Question:\u00a0\u00a0 What are the reference points for the Etheric level when you’re working your spiritual exercises with the initiation tone, and you don’t have the initiation tone for the Etheric level?<\/p>\n

John-Roger:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0 There’s no reference point.\u00a0 There is none.\u00a0 The reference point is given to you at the time of Etheric initiation.\u00a0 That is the encapsulating of your consciousness so that you move through the void in perfect protection.\u00a0 This is where most of the people fall because that void is so dark and black.\u00a0 But there\u2019s a mirror at the end and it just reflects back.\u00a0 You don’t recognize the distance to the mirror and that is what we really call the unconscious. And that unconscious is reflective of your own condition.\u00a0 And in that you have a lot of things to work with.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Question:\u00a0\u00a0 J-R, when you talked about joy and living love, I’d like to know if there are techniques to move into that or is it a matter of evolvement?<\/p>\n

John-Roger:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0 To bring it forward through your own consciousness? It can be done, but you’ll have to give up all those other things that will block it like jealousy, and hate, and revenge, and getting even, and hurt, and upset, because those are antithesis to that.\u00a0 When those are held in abeyance and released because there’s no energy placed into that, there is a spontaneous occurrence that is there.\u00a0 It’s the Soul. And it’s always bursting, and attempting to burst forward.<\/p>\n

But in this level is its weakness.\u00a0 In this level, in the negative realms, the Soul is the weakest.\u00a0 So most people who function within these negative levels, don’t function by way of Soul.\u00a0 They function by way of consciousness.\u00a0 Then their consciousness becomes all pervading and they do all the tricks.<\/p>\n

The powers that are given, they are referred to as Siddhas, in the yoga concept.\u00a0 Most of the people that do this get blinded by their own power.\u00a0 That’s why we don’t enter into that approach.\u00a0 It’s too easy.\u00a0 Even those who have the best intentions have fallen by the wayside.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
