J-R – Our Beloved Preceptor, Traveler … & The Purple Rose. What follows appeared in the New Day Herald’s March/April 2012 edition on pg. 45. In February of that year J-R gave me the ‘go-ahead’ to share this with everyone. For those who may not have read it, you may find this information about The Preceptor and the Purple Rose to bring you into even greater wonderment (if that’s possible) about this Beautiful-Beyond-Description Majestic Soul so many of us love into the depths of our being … and with whom, miraculously, so many of us have such a profoundly personal, intimate relationship. Here’s the admittedly long story … In the fall of 1969, while living in Miami, Florida, I came into a very young MSIA. A dozen or so of us got together weekly and listened to cassette tapes lovingly sent to us by Ruben Perez, who taped J-Rs Santa Barbara talks. In early 1970, J-R made his first trip to work with the Miami MSIA family. And we certainly had become a family – many of us to this day still remaining very close and living now in Los Angeles. As I recall, it was during that first visit when I heard J-R casually mention the “Purple Rose” in connection to MSIA. He didn’t elaborate about it, as it was included in other information – and I didnt have the awareness to ask for clarification. Actually, back then, if wed questioned him about every new thing he brought up that we didnt understand, hed never have gotten through a single seminar. We were relative babies and he was spoon-feeding us timeless wisdoms. As we know, throughout the ages there have been countless icons and symbols found on ancient ruins, tablets and writings. So when J-R mentioned the Purple Rose, I thought he was merely conjuring a special, lovely and figurative symbol for us in MSIA. Back then quite a few of us were seeing the purple light flashes he often spoke of as one of the ways The Mystical Traveler made Its presence known – even when J-R wasnt physically present. Also, on a relatively frequent basis when in his physical presence, many of us saw a vast purple aura radiating from him, along with when we were with him in our dreams. So a purple rose seemed an ideal symbol. Because of this, various renditions of purple roses were abundant in the creations of MSIA artists, from tooled leather handbags to oil paintings. Awhile later, when a historical building was purchased in Los Angeles for MSIA offices and residencies, it seemed perfectly fitting that it be called PRANA: The Purple Rose Ashram of the New Age. Although the name was later changed to Peace Awareness Labyrinth and Gardens, (as most of us know) its still lovingly referred to as Prana – which also means the Breath of Life in Sanskrit. Fast forward to 1982. During a meditation, without any clue something extraordinary was about to occur, I was suddenly awestruck to see the actual Purple Rose suspended in space before me! It was no figurative symbol. I instantly knew it was The Purple Rose about which J-R had spoken. J-R recently gave me the go-ahead to share with you what I saw. Even though it is far beyond my ability to do it justice, Ill do my very limited best. Perhaps as you read this, the Preceptor will aid your greater self into recognition and resonance with what we all somewhere within us already know. As anyone whos had a Direct Experience of Reality knows, theres nothing else like it. It is supremely Supra-Natural – completely eclipsing everyday life. Theres no question whatsoever what it is. Its divinity is instantly and entirely clear. During this kind of experience, one is in a state of KNOWING … transcendent of mental conjuring or intellectual deduction and reasoning. It was as if my eyes were suddenly opened into a new dimension. There, suspended before me, I saw an unimaginably vivid, enormous and breathtakingly beautiful rose made of Living Purple Light – in which all shades of purple exist, from the deepest to magenta and ultra-violet. It was a continuously moving, radiant, mystical and beyond-exquisite flower-like manifestation. To some who might see it, they may liken it to a gigantic and eternal living lotus. It appeared to me to be constructed of an infinite number of somewhat elongated petals or ellipses consisting of flowing, living purple light. Each petal/ellipse appeared joined together at one end, connected into a single, central core. As each petal came toward the central core, its color became absorbed into diamond white brilliance. Each petals perimeter appeared to consist of ultra vivid purple light – some of the perimeters flowing clock-wise and others flowing counter-clockwise, like an infinity sign would do if its outside edges were moving. (Perhaps if you chose to trace one in the air it will make this more clear.) Where the infinity sign comes together in the center is at the core. It was crystal clear to me that each petal was/is an entire universe. And there was a constant opening and unfolding of the petals out of the core, as well as the petals, themselves, moving. The movement was/is many things … including Life, Itself, and all that goes on in each universe. Where all the petals met (the core) is where Infinity/The Eternal Now/All Oneness/All Being is undiluted. It appeared to me that the central core is where one moves in and out of any given universe. And deep within that infinite center is the seat of the Preceptor … The Light of All Universes. As you most likely can imagine, I was transfixed and spellbound. Again, try as I may, my words cannot even slightly begin to do this justice. And this is not The Whole – it is a living aspect of The Whole. How I know this is not clear to me. And, as extraordinary as it was/is … it’s my impression that consciously seeing this is not a prerequisite to J-R taking us to God. I have no idea why I saw it. Perhaps it was because I was to one day share this with you … and J-R will take it from there. Eventually, after that one sighting, I only thought about the true Purple Rose on occasion because I didnt really know what to do with the awareness. So (for me) it rested for years, more or less in the wings of my consciousness. I did note with interest that, reportedly, going past the emitted light wave-length of purple, colors move into the invisible. Something that might be of interest is that in the last few years I discovered in a lighting store strings of LED Christmas lights which emit a purple light energetically reminiscent of some of the light emitted from the Purple Rose. I’ve subsequently seen these lights on display in various venues. Needless to say, I had to buy and put them on my Christmas tree. Many a night when I have my tree up, I gaze at those lights … as Spirit stirs my soul. And, as if that were not enough, something else was given to me recently that gave me chills, moved my heart and brought me to tears. Its said things come to us when were ready – so we (you who are reading this and I, being allowed to write it) are, apparently, ready. An email arrived in my computer with a link to video images from the Hubble Telescope – into the ultra-deep field of this universe. What is shown is, for me, beyond mind-boggling. It is transportive. The scientists who brought this viewing about were fascinated by a very small speck in the universe near the Big Dipper that appeared to be completely empty – devoid of stars, planets, galaxies … anything. From their perspective in the totality of space, this seeming emptiness appeared to be no bigger than a grain of sand held away from the body at arms length. (To more readily grasp how small that appeared to them, you may chose to hold your arm out, pretending to hold a grain of sand in your fingers – and imagine it up in the night sky.) In 1996, they took an enormously significant and costly risk of utilizing their allotted time with Hubble to focus into what could have turned out to be nothing. Over the course of 10 full days slowly appeared photons of light that had traveled for over 13 Billion years before touching Hubble ... revealing 3,000 more galaxies - each with 100s of Billions of stars! It was considered by some at the time to be the most profound and humbling images seen in human history. Then, again, in 2004, they decided to view another empty sliver near the Constellation Orion. Slowly, in 11 days (and Hubbles 400 complete orbits around earth) was revealed over 10,000 more galaxies (not just stars)! This became known as the ultra-deep field – an image representing the farthest science has ever seen into the universe. From when Universe was calculated to be only 500 Million years old, photons of Light from these galaxies took Billions of years to reach Hubble (our eyeglass, so to speak). Reportedly, these galaxies, while standing still, are racing away from us ... sometimes faster than the speed of Light. Its currently estimated that there are over 100 Billion galaxies in the universe ... each with 100s of billions of stars. Astronomers suspect this ultra-deep field view to be the edge of the universe ... expanding ... growing. Which, of course, begs the questions, Whats beyond the edge of the universe ... and what is it growing into? It is reported that scientists have no idea what makes up 95% of the universe. As I observed what unfolded before me while watching the video, I consciously experienced J-R, as Preceptor, showing me a minuscule slice of the unimaginable vastness – beholding the wonder and beauty of Gods physical body, just in this universe, alone. I recall hearing from deep within me, Oh, My God … I am looking deeply into a tiny part of myself. Its all beautiful … in the greater reality there is nothing (no thing) that is not beautiful. The perception of non-beauty is an illusion ... a reflection of how/what I do not yet know how to love. And this is only the physical level ... not all the other levels are visibly present. And only this universe. Astronomers are now acknowledging they are aware there are more than just one universe. Some even speculate there may be an infinite number of universes. If you choose, youll be able to see for yourself - via a link which shows a 4:17 minute 3D video of The Hubble Telescopes view into Ultra-Deep Fields of our Universe. You may wish to invite J-R to be with you as you watch. Heres the link: flixxy/hubble-ultra-deep-field-3d.htm Again the Purple Rose jumped into center stage of my awareness. This time as a kind of far-vision. Universes, constantly moving, united in the white light core. My experience was of being shown what Im not able at this time to wrap my mind around … expansive, awakening … and blissful. And even if I was somehow able, theres no way I could put it into words. J-Rs book, The Path to Mastership, shares this: When you start to experience bliss, you know you have tapped into the Soul level energy. It also states, Buddha said, I am the Light of Asia. Christ said, I am the Light of the world. The Traveler says, I am the Light of the Universe. And the Preceptor says, I am the Light of all universes. This is not a spiritual promise. It is reality now. It is present now. . . . One of the many astonishing things I am being shown is that Our Beloved Preceptor (who reportedly only embodies every 25,000 years – and is with us now) is for the first time on this planet (as far as we know) allowing us to actually view a tiny part of the edge of this universe. Utilizing Hubble as one method to do this, it seems to me that our Preceptor is bringing this opportunity to all souls embodied here – some of us getting to see it (and recognize what it is) before others get to see it ... as time unfolds. What a miracle. What a blessing. What wonderment. That I am allowed to share this so openly adds to my awareness that something very special is happening. In the past few years many of us have witnessed a change in J-R. At times, looking into his eyes has been like looking into infinity – endlessly deep. Vast. Still. Full of loving and light. A couple of years ago I started to think that perhaps what many of us were commenting about seeing, which seemed different about J-R, was actually the Preceptor … oh, so subtly manifesting physically. For whatever reason, our Beloved Preceptor is giving us a gift – an infinitesimal glimpse of The Whole. In no way can I understand this - much less explain it. I just know it; see it.
