AIDS
is not a disease confined to the homosexual community but is
one that presents a threat to the whole of humanity. Unchecked,
this newly-discovered virus could decimate mankind. It constitutes
a threat greater even than the plagues of the Middle Ages. How
is it engendered and why are the homosexual groups singled out
for blame?
Fully
to understand how AIDS makes its appearance at this time, it
is necessary to understand somewhat the nature of the new energy
or ray which, in mounting potency, is making its impact on our
lives. I refer, of course, to the incoming 7th ray of Ceremonial
Order or Organization. This great ray has been in incarnation,
as it is called, since 1675 and is now very potent indeed. Its
natural point of focus in the human body is the sacral or sex
centre, and its physical gland correspondence the gonads.
A
tremendous new stimulation, therefore, is being brought to bear
on the sexual life of humanity - hence the current outspoken
interest in, and concentration on, sexual matters and activity.
This is not by chance but is a direct result of the increased
stimulation of the etheric counterpart body of humanity by the
7th ray. This has led in some instances to a neurotic and morbid
concentration on this basic (and perfectly natural) human instinct.
A pathological and unnatural sexual obsession in certain cases
has taken the place of a natural, healthy sexual interest and
activity.
The
proper sphere of activity of the sexual impulse and function
is the physical plane. The desire principle holds sway there
and on the astral realms. The increasingly mental focus of humanity,
however, has made it possible for the desire principle to enter
the realm of the mind, with the greater concentration and potency
which that higher level affords. The result has been devastating.
Desire has entered the mind. The mind has responded with morbid
obsession and magnetically caused the disintegration of the blood
cells of the body, thus breaking down the immune system itself,
and the creation of the AIDS virus (a virus is self-created).
It
is thus the result of wrongly-directed thought or misuse of energy,
and emphatically not Divine retribution (as claimed by various
fundamentalist groups and individuals) for 'unnatural' sexual
practices. A relatively few people, only, have actually created
the AIDS virus in themselves. Its rapid spread (and danger for
humanity) is the outcome of its being extremely infectious through
the body fluids: the blood, urine, faeces and sexual secretions,
and less readily through saliva. At the moment it is most prevalent
in the USA and in parts of Africa. In the USA, so far, it is
the homosexual groups which have taken the brunt. This is so,
not because AIDS is the outcome of 'unnatural' or 'unlawful'
sexual activity or practices, but because of the greater sexual
experimentation which prevails in these groups.
Despite
the altogether freer social climate in which homosexuals now
live, there is no doubt that they come under pressures, leading
to frequent changes of sexual partners and the use of prostitutes,
which heterosexual men largely avoid. In connection with the
spread of AIDS, therefore, bisexuality and the activities of
the 'oldest profession', male or female, represent major threats.
Carriers Among the many problems in dealing with this disease
is the fact that people can be carriers of the virus - often
for many years - without a trace of symptoms. Mothers can pass
it on to their children in the womb through the blood. Infected
blood-banks have already taken their toll. This makes its containment
difficult; and all the more essential.
The
Hunger Project, in its interesting twice-monthly, World Development
Forum (Vol.4, No.20, 15 November 1986), has the following report: "Do
mosquitoes and bed-bugs carry the AIDS virus? The Pasteur Institute's
Jean-Claude Chermann, a co-discoverer of the AIDS virus in 1983,
says they do. A study in Zaire of 50 insects, reports Asiaweek,
indicated that all - including mosquitoes, tsetse flies and cockroaches
- were infected. But the reassuring news is that the "insects
don't carry nearly enough of the virus to infect a human. There
is no way,' he said, "that the virus could be transmitted to
humans by mosquitoes or other insects." Unfortunately, my information
is that this is not entirely the case.
In
Africa - together with the US the continent most severely hit
by the disease - the AIDS virus has made its appearance, for
the most part, among heterosexuals; in this case, mosquitoes
and other insects have played their part, as carriers, in its
spread. This fact may provide a means for its containment and
control. To quote World Development Forum again: "Chermann explains
that the receptor (chemical component of a living cell which
combines with a foreign substance to alter the cell-function)
for the virus is 'very specific'. Hence, if the virus receptor
in the insects proved similar to that in humans, 'we could make
an antibody' to prevent the spread of the disease".
There
is every hope that such an antibody, which will contain and control
the spread of the virus, will eventually be discovered, but humanity
must face the fact that AIDS is not easily eradicable and that
every precaution must be taken to prevent its spread. Among other
actions, saner sexual attitudes are called for. This does not
mean the cessation of all sexual activity (as has already happened
with some groups in their initial fear-reaction) but of a wholesome
respect for the virus and an awareness of its dangers. Greater
caution and discrimination in the choice of sexual partners is
obviously a priority. In this respect education is the key.
A
world-wide educational programme, outlining the dangers and exploding
the myths, is required. Some governments have already set such
a programme in motion but this must become a global effort if
the true import of the disease is to be understood and the means
of containing it are to be adopted. New scourge What part can
the Hierarchy of Masters play in ridding the world of this new
scourge? Already, several Masters, including my own, are lending
Their experience and expertise to the healing of individuals
but They may not overstep the bounds of karma to tackle the problem
on a global scale. This must await the action of humanity on
its own behalf. Shortly, however, due to the action (and intervention)
of the Christ, Maitreya, many already suffering from the worst
effects of the virus will find the disintegrative process spontaneously
being reversed and normal health established.
For
karmic reasons, this is possible only for a 'sample' of those
affected by the disease, but it will draw attention to the seriousness
with which He views this new danger to the race. In the longer
run, only the correct use of thought (and therefore of energy)
can rid the world of the diseases, including AIDS, which now
afflict it. This presupposes a reorientation of consciousness
at present not possible for the majority, but one which will
inevitably come as we enter into better relationship, one with
another, by establishing the correct structures, political and
social, on which our future well-being depends. This is the spiritual
transformation which Maitreya comes to inspire.
