The Incarnational Perspective

by Ken Carey

There are many ways to look at the challenges and opportunities that now await human decision. The incarnation perspective is an effective complement to the evolutionary perspective and one that, personally, I find most helpful.

The evolutionary paradigm implies that human intelligence has developed in in association with the earth. This is true of that subjective, body-associated sense of self that we call the human ego. But egos are only one half of the human equation. The complete human, Homo universalis, is a spirit/ego partnership.

The spirits that join the egos to create Homo universalis are individualized aspects of the one holy and eternal spirit. They do not evovle. They incarnate. Their intelligence is pre-existent. It seeks sensitive, pliable and responsive biological circuitry. Yet the egos are the guardians of this biological circuitry, the stewards of the human bodies, minds and hearts; and without the ego's cooperation, spirit/ego bonding is impossible.

Before we can secure the cooperation of the ego, it is necessary that we know something about it. First of all, despite all that is said and written to the contrary, the ego is not a "bad" thing. The ego is here to look after the physical body, to make sure it gets enough to eat, to make sure it doesn't walk over the edge of a cliff or step out in front of a moving automobile. The ego is an important and necessary component of a healthy human identity. However - and this is an important however- the ego was never meant to be the primary component of identity.

In a healthy state, the ego is a secondary component of identity. In a healthy state, the being behind all being, the self behind every self, the life behind all of creation is experienced as one's primary sense of self. The ego does not have to be repressed or transcended for this to happen. It certainly does not have to die. It simply has to assume an appropriate relationship with the spirits that, in truth, we are.

The ego is only evolving until the point where it gets its role straight and ceases "trying to do everything all by itself." Then its "evolutionary processes" are complete and a beautiful reversal takes place. Instead of the ego dominating ones sense of self and spirit being buried somewhere within, a literal polarity reversal occurs. An eternal sense of self awakens in human consciousness. Everything is transformed. Everything is different. The world is perceived anew through the eyes of a universal awareness. The ego becomes the partner of the Holy Spirit.

The Holy Spirit is the spirit of wholeness. It is the spirit of the Creator, incarnating through the biosphere of this planet. As the Creator's spirit differentiates, like light through a prism, it becomes many individualized God-beings. Each of us, in essence, is one of these individual God-beings. We are each designed to incarnate in a human body/mind/heart system. It is we who, as it is recorded in Gensis, "created man after our image and after our likeness." Our extraterrestrial intelligence is the missing dimension, the rejected aspect of the tue human. For thousands of years, the egos have been afraid of us. Many of them are now learning that they have nothing to lose and everything to gain by establishing contact with us once again.

My ego and I are friends now, but back along the way my ego gave me a good deal of trouble. It was not until I succeeded in getting it to record my first book that it began to truly open itself to my pressence and listen to my suggestions on how we might stablize as a single coherent being. At some point during the recording of these transmissions, my ego began to love my spirit. It realized that it was, by nature, a reflection; and that it could either be a good, sharp, clear reflection or try to be somehow "independent". I helped it to see that there is no such thing as an "independent reflection." Eventually my ego learned that, though it could create the illusion of such a state, it would always be troubled and unfulfilled in such a fictitious condition. It came to understand that union with my spirit would solve all its problems and open the door to a future beyond its most wonderful dreams.

There are many of us whose sense of identity rests in spirit. We are aware of a continuity of consciousness going back to the the creation of the first atoms, the appearance of the first stars and the first gases between them. We are not particularly requiring access to our higher selves. We are the higher selves. What we need is responsive biological circuitry: human bodies, minds and hearts that are not overly distracted with the input of their physical senses, but that are aware of our presence, that listen to our suggestions on how we and they might join together in the spirit/ego bonding that is required to complete the true human. We seek the friendship of the egos. What we wish to communicate to them is simply this:

"Relax. Your fears of the Holy Spirit are ungrounded. Your purposes are served more effectively, more enjoyably and more thoroughly, through working with us. We are your lovers, your friends, your eternal co-creative partners. You will gain more through cooperation with us than oxygen gained through cooperating with hydrogen. As soon as a few of you have relaxed with us in Holy Communion, as soon as the new behavior is modelled, it will spread very rapidly then, very rapidly indeed!"

If you are interested in the realizaion of your fullest potential, you may find that channelling helps you to move beyond the blocks and the impasses that inevitably appear in the path of those who think of themselves as "evolving creatures." For many, channeling is a useful step in help them to remember that they are, in essence, perfect beings, created in the image and likeness of God.

What Is Channeling?

Channeling is simply detaching from your limited snsese of self and relaxing into a more natural experience of who you are. It is something anyone can do. If you are in the early stages of emerging out of a fictitious culturally-definded sense of self, it is valuable to establish dialogue with your eternal spiritual counterpart. It helps to reacquaint you with your real nature.

Far from being a rare gift, the ability is inherent within each of us to blend with our Creator's consciousness and to translate that consciousness into our human languages. In the beginning your channeling may simply take the form of writing down your highest vision, recording the voice of your potential as it speaks to your present. In the later stages, as you relax with the process, you will discover that you have clear access to unliimited intelligence, both universal and eternal. But don't stop there! Channeling is like lovers speaking to one another on the telephone. If they are moderately intelligent and if their attraction is genuine, they go on to create conditions conducive to a closer, more intimate exchange.

To achieve the fullness of the opporturity that is present through communication with the lager field of universal intelligence, communication needs to flow into communion. Communion needs to merge into union. And that union is the incarnatiion. Think about it.

Occurring on a world scale, this is nothing less than the event prophesied in the myths and legends of virtually every race, tribe, and nation the world over. A mass incarnation of god-beings from the stars, a descent of angels - call it what you will - it is the literal awakening of an eternal Creator's consciousness inside a biological human family. And it has begun.

Our effectiveness now lies, not in segregating ourselves according to how we like to think about things, but in transcending our concepts and favored paradigms and joining together in a commonality of spirit with all those who share our purpose. Our purpose is to harmonise with one another, with the Creator and with the earth, to create a world of win/win interaction that works for everyone, a world that allows for the optimal development of all creative potential. We are not without a blueprint. Spirit has a couple of pages. Ego has a couple of others. Let's work together, resonating around our shared purpose, developing a common language and creating common strategies. Humankind is on the threshold of a fundamental species-transition. Let's do what we can to help it occur gracefully. Like the opening of a flower. Or the arrival of a friend.
