Spiritual Development Teaching | Many Sparrows

In this spiritual development teaching Hafed covers many fascinating subjects including:

• Why Jesus used the life of a tiny sparrow to explain how much God loves us.  By doing so he created a new set of values by which to live our lives.
• How the man-made laws we live under now are totally wrong because they conflict with spiritual law.
• Why God cannot provide for mans’ needs if he chooses to live under carnal law rather than spiritual law.
• How we are held prisoner here by our systems of work and our personal frailties, weaknesses and obsessions.
• How Jesus  lived under spiritual law during His time on Earth, which allowed Him to perform miracles.
• How living under spiritual law opens up an exciting and fascinating world of traveling through time and space, by using the creative power of thought, which is faster than the speed of light.

Hafed starts his spiritual development teaching:

Can you remember the discussion we had two weeks ago, when we spoke regarding the new values which Jesus tried to give to those who were listening to him preach?  Can you remember what was said when he was trying to show them how much God loved them?  Why did we say to you that it was a new set of values that he tried to use?  Why did we use the word “values”?  There was a reason why we did this.

At this point there was much discussions within the group but nobody was able to give a complete and proper answer.

Can I say to you that I have given this teaching, not to those who are new here, but to others many times and they do not realise what they have or what I have been trying to impress upon them.  He was giving them one of the greater truths, for it was like a pinprick in the canvas of life letting through a shaft of light from the realm of spirit.  It was the beginning of a new understanding, a new set of laws, a new way of valuing things.

I will tell you again and I want you to listen.  If you cannot grasp what I am saying please say so and I will gladly expand for you what lies behind it.

Jesus said to those who were listening, “Two sparrows are sold in a market place for a farthing and one shall not fall from Heaven, except your heavenly Father knows about it and you are worth more than many sparrows.”

Why did he use this terminology, where a sparrow costs so small a sum, when dealing with people all around him who were perhaps more materialistic in their way of life?  For perhaps some listening would think to themselves “If this is all that God loves us, He doesn’t love us very much, for two sparrows cost only a farthing.”  Surely it would have been better had Jesus said to them “God loves you more than all the precious jewels and money in the king’s palace.”  Then they, being materialistic in thought, would have said to themselves “Well that is a great sum indeed.”

He couldn’t say that because he had already said “What shall it profit you to gain the whole world and lose your very own soul?”  This is because the whole world (lock, stock and barrel) is not worth your very own soul, so how then could he use the wealth of the world to measure the love of God for you?

He could not have said that God loves you more than the whole world, so he used a new set of values.  He used something else which was priceless, literally priceless, and the world couldn’t see it because they paid a farthing for two sparrows.  He used the life of a little sparrow because it was divine, it was heavenly created, as all things divine are heavenly created.  And as a sparrow is worth more than the whole world (lock, stock and barrel) this was the only way he could measure the love of God for you, by using spiritual law and not material law.

I take for you a flower from that vase (at this point Hafed picked up a flower) and I say to you where oh where could you find me a man who could make me that flower?  You could not, no way.  Look at its beauty, because that is the thought that was in God’s mind when He created it.  This goes for all other flowers, the very grass under your feet, the trees that grow in the forest, the rivers that hold the water of life for the fish and for all other life that lives within the rivers.  All fashioned according to the mind of God.

Now he is using a spiritual law to measure a new value, a value that man has not got and cannot have whilst he is here because all other things, though they may be priceless and precious to man, have been created by man therefore they are inferior because they do not live.

At this point Hafed picked up a small statue and asks: Does this live?  Does it talk?  Does it walk?  Does it smell?  Does it represent true beauty?  No, it is nothing and though it were made of gold set with precious jewels and diamonds, it would be priceless because it would be worth nothing.  Priceless in the sense of saying to you that it is an object that man has made which to him priceless, but the real price is nothing.  It cannot save your life, it cannot give you happiness, it cannot give you joy, it cannot give you peace; it cannot give you one moment longer on this Earth than is destined to you.

Question from Aquarius Group Member:

By eating animals are we breaking spiritual law?

Hafed:

No, because certain animals are there to serve mankind in that very purpose.  Even though there are those who talk about being vegetarians, they are denying that service which that animal represents.

You see my son there are many, many forms of life and all of them pay tribute to God in their own way by paying tribute to man, who is the highest form of living thing throughout the entire universe.  God has given them in order to pay duty to man.  After all is said and done, as I have just explained to you, a flower is a living thing and a blade of grass is a living thing but so too is a potato and a tomato and all other vegetables but you eat them.  You have no qualms about eating them because they do not move around on four legs, nor have a heart, flesh and a body.  However they still live in that way and condition that God has set for them to live.

Question from Aquarius Group Member:

We should be concerned about the conditions that animals are kept in though, shouldn’t we

Hafed:

Always, and I do not say that all animals are there for you to eat, for there are only set animals.  Horses were never meant for man to eat, neither were pigs.  Cows, sheep, fish and chicken are all there as food for man.  If you read your scriptures and I believe you will find it in the Romans regarding food that offends your neighbour, it will tell you there that even frogs and lizards are edible, if God gives them to you to eat.  For that which is unclean, God is able to clean and make them edible for man.  Not that I am suggesting to you that you go out and eat lizards and frogs.  I am simply saying that this was given as an answer to those who thought that it was better not to eat food that offended their neighbour.

We have just barely touched upon that which is spiritual law.  You will discover as time goes by and I begin to hold all these things together and relate them to each other, you will begin to discover that the laws under which you are living are totally wrong.  You will discover that the life that you have and the way you think and act are totally wrong.  You will discover many things that you thought to be right are totally out of step with God.  That which I have stated to you regarding Jesus speaking to the people of that time is simply the beginnings of that understanding.  I want to bring to you a greater and deeper concept of life itself, who you are and how you are to be in order that you may be the child of God.

You know well the laws under which you live and you understand how those laws hold you bound as prisoners in the world in which you live.  You may think to yourselves that you are free men and women and yet none here in this world is free.  For the law they speak of does not entail freedom, it entails injustice, for you are all in prison, yet you cannot see it.  Solely because it is the life that you are living and you have always lived this life and know no other.

I want to turn you around and show to you another way of life.  I cannot bring to you evidence of what I say in tangible form, but I use and apply to you the law of logic and understanding.  So I appeal to you that you apply these things in order to find the evidence of the truth that I give you, as far-fetched as it may appear to be.

I tell you that in a little while all of you will be living under this law.  A law that sets you free from the daily grind that you have, the misery that you share.  You might not think so, but it is so.  Do you think that God likes his children to be in prison under sets of laws that you live under?  We understand why they are there, but you can remove them.  You are imprisoned by your doubts and your fears are you not?  You are imprisoned by your frailties, your weaknesses, your obsessions, are you not?

Do those same obsessions not bring to you a form of imprisonment which says you must go to work each day and you must work for a few pounds in order to pay for your existence here?  So you might pay for your light, gas, heating, rent and all the many other expenses that you must find.

But there are those who are very greedy people who have built up great empires and they colonize you as their working ants.  They do not need a prison with iron bars and barbed wire to keep you in, for you are already there.  They make the law and set the rate for what you will earn, what you will be and for what you will do.

I do not recall God making anybody greater than another!   However, I do recall him saying “You are my children and you are all equal.”  Who gave the world to one particular breed of man that he should own so much land and you should be forbidden to walk upon it?  You who are equal to him and even now more equal, because you have not set your hand against God, to shame him in the way that they do by misusing his children and corrupting them.  His sin is the greatest, his cross is the heaviest and his guilt will surely weigh him down to the pits of hell!  Do you know where the system goes wrong?  It goes wrong in their attitude towards the so-called working classes.  It goes wrong because they believe they are better than you.  This is where the whole thing falls flat on its face.

Question from Aquarius Group Member:

Are you proposing that the whole of the land be divided up equally and we should go back to the land?

Hafed:

No, I am not proposing anything my son.  Like I have said to you earlier, the things that I will bring to you will find it difficult to believe.

Let us move on from here.  Having shown to you the kind of injustice that is in the world and not in any way suggesting that there should be a sudden share out because that would be equally wrong.  Do you remember what Jesus said prior to talking about the sparrows in the market square?  He asked them “Why are you concerned about what you will eat and what you will drink and where you will live, for your Heavenly Father knows you have need of all these things and He will provide them.”  What do you think about that?  Do you think he would do it?

You see there is no way God can fulfill that promise while man is living under carnal law and we are discussing spiritual law.  So then, I also remind you of what he said in the end, the part that man fails to hear “But, seek ye first the Kingdom of Heaven and all these things shall be added unto you”.

Why do you think He said “Seek ye first the Kingdom of Heaven?”  It is because that is the only way that you will live under spiritual law.  Consider Him who is Lord of all, who in spiritual wealth, is light years away from you and yet is your brother.  Consider Him, the only Son of God, here on Earth and he lived under spiritual law.  The evidence of what he said about God supplying mans’ needs was there, for he fed the five thousand with a few loaves and fishes did he not?   He walked upon the water, he forbade the storm, told it to cease and it obeyed him.   He raised the dead and healed the sick like no other did because he was living under spiritual law.  So then it is the same for you, when you live under spiritual law.  When you, as you are now, seek ye first the Kingdom of Heaven.  What of Moses, when he traveled through the wilderness with the Jewish nation that had just come from Egypt?  Who fed them if it wasn’t God?  He supplied their food just as he would to you.

There have masters born here in this world since the time of Christ who are able to pluck fruit from trees that did not grow that kind of fruit and also out of season.  It happened and there are many, many hundreds of people who bore witness to it happening, but you do not know because your television would sooner provide you with a juicy piece of sex and violence than to give you the truth.  So we begin to see something of that new set of values that I spoke of.

Question from Aquarius group member:

Do these values go to make the spiritual law?  Is that how you define spiritual law?

Hafed:

That is the very law itself.  You see those who live under carnal law have need, because they do not follow spiritual law, but spiritual law is automatically in operation.  For example, if you lived under spiritual law, you would no more think of going into a public house and getting yourself drunk than you would of throwing yourself into the fire!  Because spiritual law would dictate within you that it was wrong, for God did not give to you free will that you should lose it by becoming a victim to drunkenness.  This is part of the makeup and fabric of the world of entertainment in which you live.

Morality, sexual morality is another, which is totally out of step.  It is in effect a part of pollution for it is polluting your body, creating a child of sin.  I know sin is an old fashioned word, is it not?  Oh, it is taboo, but you cannot change the truth, regardless of what word you call it.  The same results are in evidence, just as surely as if you drink too much you will become drunk, so then if you commit these offences against your physical body and the law of life then the same thing will happen.  It is inevitable because that is the only way that you can go.  If you walk down the road you get to the end.  You cannot get to the top by walking down; it is as simple as that.  That is what I mean when I say I wish to apply myself to your logic and your common sense.  You see, what you do not realise are the conditions which you create in a spiritual way, for by giving yourself up to drink is also to encourage the influence of the lower forces, the forces of darkness that control you.  Many an act of sin, if you like, is committed in that state of being.

Question from Aquarius group member:

You don’t mean drinking, full stop?

Hafed:

Full stop.

Question from Aquarius group member:

You mean any kind of drink, what about wine?

Hafed:

I mean any kind of alcoholic drink that will rob you of your mind.  Would you consider that to be right?  I understand you may see it as a means of entertainment but I have said to you that before we are finished we are going to turn the world upside down.

Question from Aquarius group member:

So are you saying no drink at all?

Hafed:

None whatsoever, you cannot live on the fence.  You cannot dwell in the devil’s house and hope to walk in God’s garden.

Question from Aquarius group member:

In the Bible wine is consumed, is it not?

Hafed:

Wine is consumed and if you read the Bible you will find many reports where God has said that alcohol is wrong, because man intoxicates himself to a state of drunkenness.

Question from Aquarius group member:

So why did Jesus turn water into wine then?

Hafed:

He did this because of man and because of the wedding that he was at.  It represented, if you like, the way in which they lived.  How could he stop and try to tell them any different?  He could not.  It is like the Ten Commandments that were given to Moses.  They were not the original ones, but they had been watered down because man could never have lived by the original ones.  Think about alcohol as a means of obsession, and we are looking towards the law of freedom, because the law is freedom.

Do you think that by you making the change called death you will lose that obsession?   If you desire drink now and that form of entertainment then it will be the same when you make the change called death.  So, sooner or later, you have got to face up to the truth that you cannot continue with that.   It is not the law of God.

Question from Aquarius group member:

What about smoking as well, then?

Hafed:

Smoking is wrong and I have said this many times as it inflicts disease upon the body and mind.

Do you remember the very first time we came together and I told you about these things and the goals you must aim for?  I told you that you will not succeed and though you try and try again, you will be knocked down.  You will fail, but as long as you are prepared to pick yourself up and continue on, that is all that is asked of you because you are living under carnal law.  If you want the truth I will give you the truth, but I cannot hide the facts from you.  If it happens not to coincide with the way you think or live your life, I am sorry, but I must give you the truth.  If I do not do this I am failing in my duty towards you, for when you make the change called death and come face to face with me, you will say “Why did you not tell me that I was doing wrong, now I’ve got it to overcome here and it is far harder here to overcome these problems.”  So it is.

Question from Aquarius group member:

Can you use alcohol in cooking or should you not consume it in any form at all?

Hafed:

I cannot be your judge about what you should do.  I have told you that alcohol is not acceptable, no more than adultery is acceptable or lust is acceptable.  All these things are inflicting a disease upon you, a disease that will eventually bring you to the darkness.  You do not vent to the God man within you, but to the dark side of your nature.  You see it is the whole way in which your life is conducted here on Earth that you will find difficult to accept and see as being unacceptable.

You might say that we lead a very boring life when you make the change called death.  You cannot do this and you cannot do that.  This is wrong and that is wrong.  What do you do all day?  But you say this only out of your ignorance because you have never lived any other way.  Until you do, you cannot know what pleasures there are in a life lived under spiritual law.  Far greater than anything you can possibly have in this world.  You may think you have an interesting life now but are you happy and contented?  Are you at peace with yourself?  Do you have that inner joy within you?

Answer from Aquarius group member:

No, it is escapism.

Hafed:

That is right.  This is exactly what it is.

I want to open out for you and I promise that I will, but you must realise that to open out that law for you is going to take a long time.  I want to bring you now to the very perimeter of that new concept of life that I am asking you to not only look upon, but to share with us.  For I tell you that as Jesus lived in that light under spiritual law, so can you if your aim is true.  That is what you have to be – true to God and yourself.  Then I will reveal to you the way we go from here.  Little by little, I will refer back to the world in which you live and show you the comparisons, so that you may make your own judgement according to your commonsense and logic.

The Kingdom of Heaven knows no end, just as the kingdom of the universe knows no end.  Do not confuse the two as being one, for they are two separate kingdoms, but all is God’s kingdom.  I will show to you how that new law by which you live will set you free.  Free from the chains that bind you to Earth.  Free to go forth and use your own mind and your own time as you will, to discover the things that you want to know.  For in this world is the greatest challenge of all time.

You will begin a journey of adventure that you could not possibly begin to dream of and that is the kind of freedom that I speak of.  Where there is no one to say to you “You cannot go there, you have got to go here.  You’ve got to do this and that” as you have now.  Where you are your own person and we can come together in that newness of life as we do in this Circle.  We can sit and talk face to face about the many great and wonderful things that are possible and we can enjoy each others company and share our lives with each other in a way that you could never do here.  I will unravel the gifts of the spirit for you and show you how to use them.   So that with the power of your imagination you can travel where you will, either forward or backward in time, or across space to other planets, or deeper into the spirit world.

I can show you a new way of life that has nothing but peace and joy within it.  Where you have no need to rest, for you have no body to grow weary and always you feel filled with energy of life.  For you have no need to eat or to drink as there is nothing to sustain and keep alive.  Where you are free from those ties, yes, even mealtimes and you may journey with your friends wherever you wish to go: here on Earth, or on planets across the universe, or deeper into the heavens above.

You can revisit the times in history where great things and moments have happened.  You could go and revisit the time when Jesus gave his sermon on the mount and listen to every word.  He did not say in vain “There are those here who shall not taste of death until they see me coming again in all my glory.”  All those who stood around him then in the physical body are dead and have traveled on, so to whom was he referring, if it wasn’t to those who had yet to be born?  He was speaking of the unborn, those many bright souls in the world of spirit that were yet to be born and would not be born for many, many years.  They tended the needs of Jesus when he was here in the flesh.  That time is coming full circle; those same people will be born and will not die until they see him come for the second time.

This is what I mean when I say that by the power of spirit and by imagination that is invested in you by God.  If only you knew how to use it correctly, you will in time be able to go back and revisit any moment in history.  You could possible go back and listen again to him, saying those same words, for nothing is ever lost, all is contained with the vibration of time.  You will use that gift to go back into your own lives to unravel the bitter disappointments that you had and why you had them because you will need to know before you can go on in progression.  Only by going back and revisiting that time will you be able to see both sides of the story, not just yours, but others who were locked with you in that experience.  Out of it, you will find the answer that you could not find while you were here.

Question from Aquarius group member:

You will show us in the next weeks how we can do that?

Hafed:

No I will not and I never said I would.  I said there would come a time when you will live under that spiritual law and we could be together, like we are here and I will then show you.  I will be able to show you how through the power of your mind you will be able to transport yourself from one place to another at the speed of thought, which is faster than light.

Question from Aquarius group member:

How far away is this time?  Is it while we’re in the body?

Hafed:

It is in no moment at all as I am but many years as you are.  It is how you measure time and time doesn’t govern me as it does you.  You count the seconds and the minutes and the hours for people buy them from you, do they not?   With me, there is no time, no such thing as time.  It could be for me a moment away, but for you, many years.

Question from Aquarius group member:

Will this be after the second coming, when this time will prevail?

Answer: Hafed

Patience my son.

With those words, I will take my leave until we meet again.

Closing Prayer:

Loving Father, we come to the close of this day and ask you to place in our minds, in order of value, all the things that we have need to learn and remember, so as to live day to day.  Give us a deeper concept of life in which we live.  Show us how to be graceful, gentle and kind.  Show us how to see all men not only as equal but also as our brothers and love them with that quality of love that we often reserve only for our loved ones.  Bring us closer to the animal kingdom, dear Father.  Let us see their grace, strength and beauty.  Make us wiser in how to help them live a fuller and better life.  Let the spirit of understanding be with us and teach us about Mother Nature and what she has to teach us.  The wonders of her plants and her trees and how we can make better people through understanding the forces of that law.  Make us mindful of the needs of little children, teach us ever to love and care for them, whether they are ours or not, for they are indeed the younger members of your family.  We should all be grateful for the knowledge that we participate in that wonderful family.  Share with us the gifts of the spirit, Father.  Your spirit, your secrets, that you will interpret for us the truth in life.  Let us drink from the waters of life and be ever-mindful Father of whence they came.  All these things dear Father, we do ask in that most noble name of Jesus Christ, thy Son, our Lord and comforter.  Amen.

And so, the journey of life goes forward my children and takes us to another place along the road when we shall assemble together.  Take home with you the thoughts that have been imparted to you, do not lose them for what you are losing is a greater treasure than anything you possess in this world, it is priceless.  Do not easily forget the things I have told you to remember for they too are priceless.

If ever you want that crown of life to shine upon your head in all its radiance, beauty and splendour, you must be diligent to these things that I have told you.  You must be humble to your Heavenly Father.

Good afternoon and God bless each one of you.  Peace be with you.

Remember that we too (and there are many who gather here around you when you journey to us) love you more than many sparrows.  Each and every one of you are precious to us, remember that.

Hafed’s spiritual development teaching ends.
