Greetings of Master Horatio.

I speak not oft to those of your kind. I come only when your energy can carry mine. There are those in this gathering whose energies are strong enough to carry my own and so I come. I come to speak of worship. The different kinds of worship that you have been taught to follow and practice. The oldest form of worship began out of fear. It was fear that guided your kind to appease those that they feared and this appeasement took the form of worship. In their fear, they were not as enlightened as you are. But in their knowledge of nature’s energies, they were often more profound. They recognized that the only energies that existed, which they could recognize other than their own, were those of nature. They were able to profoundly distinguish between the energies of water and fire, ether and air, earth and plant, animal and bird, reptile and fish. But in their lesser enlightenment, each of these energies was understood only from their perspective of fear. Water can help but it killed many of them. Fire was a source of strength and warmth but burnt their homes and children. Animals killed. The earth opened up and swallowed their kind. And with each attack of fear, they chose to appease. Those were your first Gods. Your Gods were created by those of your kind to appease out of fear.

And now, even as you have reached varying levels of enlightenment but far higher than those of your kind reached earlier on, this form of worship has not left you. You still worship in order to appease. You still offer bargains hoping to please your gods. This is one kind of worship. But, this worship has undergone a change. That which you worship and fear now, are not the varying elements of nature but its dual aspect of male and female.

• This male and female you have now given names of your varying gods and goddesses and you worship most out of your fear. Your fear that they might destroy you. You have another kind of worship, which does not stem from appeasement but stems from ignorance. Ignorance of energy itself and this ignorance gives rise to your thinking of one that you call God. It stems out of an ignorance of your own energy. It stems out of an ignorance of your evolution. It stems out of your ignorance of creation itself and this creation of the mind is worshipped. But you need to give it names because your mind is still small and cannot accept, understand or acknowledge an energy, which it finds not tangible to itself. A name gives it this tangibility. It becomes a structure, a form like you. And you endow this form with your own strengths but more often with your own weaknesses. You endow this form with an ego. You endow this form with a mind. You endow this form with a heart; a heart that you hope will love you but more, a heart that you are scared to hurt because like you, you fear this heart will strike back with revenge.

Then you have a third form of worship.

This third form of worship arises neither from ignorance nor from appeasement. It arises from a need to depend, to hold, to cling, to clutch, to crutch. It is this form of worship that makes you worship those that you have called your prophets, your saviors. You worship them with full awareness of their humanness. You worship them not out of fear and in order to appease them. But you worship them so that you have a human figure. Tangible, touchable, breathing, alive, eating, sleeping, dying like you. This figure you can cling, clutch, lean upon.

This is your worship. None of it true. That which can rise from fear can never arise from truth. That which can arise from ignorance can never arise from truth. That which can arise from insecurities can never arise from strength. There is only one worthy of worship and that is you. It is because you fear the worst in you that you see this as manifested fear in nature and worship it. It is because you do not wish to search for answers within you, you do not wish to seek the wisdom of spirit that you are, that you portray this ignorance outside of you. It is when there is emptiness within, when you have made your own pillar too weak to take your own weight that you look for another crutch.

Worship is when you refuse to bow down to ignorance. You refuse to acknowledge fear. You refuse to depend. Worship is respect. Respect for that which you are. When every cell that makes up your kind is formed out of a DNA that will prohibit fear and ignorance, it is then that your search will come to an end. This DNA can be changed only by you. You have the capacity to change the very physical structure that forms YOU. But you choose to live and cringe in fear. You choose to abuse the wisdom that you are. You choose to depend on all that is illusion. You choose this. You choose this moment to moment. When you choose respect for that which you are, you will instruct, command your DNA to change and this change will start taking place instantly. When a sufficiently large number of physical forms live with this changed DNA, that which you foolishly look for in realms outside yourself, some call the 5th dimension, it is then that the 5th dimension will live within you.

How many bend low in gratitude and respect to touch your own feet? This is a custom that you have created. Yes, it was created a long time ago through wisdom and knowledge. Not any more. It is know a meaningless, empty gesture. Can you touch your own feet with the same reverence that you bow before the feet of your stone images, of your pictures on walls that you have called God? Can you embrace yourself with the same selflessness as you embrace your child? It is when you can do these two actions; it is then that you can command your DNA to change. It is only in that moment that you will have truly worshipped, or else all worship is empty, meaningless, futile and sadly foolish. Can you enter the temple that you have chosen to house your spirit in with the same devotion that you enter a structure of brick and mortar? How many offerings of flowers and fruits do you make to yourself? What is that stone image going to do with your flowers? Who eats your fruits but the man who keeps that empty stone structure clean? What meaning the sacrifice made in such ignorance and yet these emptinesses leave you feeling elated. How deep is the void within you that even emptiness is able to fill it? How futile; and why then must all Masters come before you when respect is a word that is only used from this same passage through which pass abuse and insult and taunt. Where is the depth of a love when love passes the same contaminated pathway of words? And this is your worship.
