Articles by Robert Armstrong
Where are you?
Spiritually minded people seem to be in a minority group: You can fill a stadium for a football match, a thousand people will turn out to run a marathon and a ‘pop’ festival will fill Wembley Stadium and, if televised, draw millions to watch it world-wide. Ask those same people to protest at the destruction of the rainforest, partition Parliament against acid rain or write to the newspaper to stop the use of chemicals which eat away at our ozone layer, and only a handful will turn up. On the eve of the Gulf War, a few braved the chill air at midnight to hold silent vigil in our town centre.
Is humanity isolated from the truth? Too busy to see more than their own square footage of space on the planet or, feel incapable of making their feelings known lest they by laughed at, or at the worst ridiculed? The real truth is that most people have lost their spiritual/material balance; fed on a diet of television ‘soaps’, they have lost their footing in the real world.
Maybe, in younger days they optimistically planned their future and along with it saw clearly their role in the wider horizon of life. Then that vision started to fade; ideas were toned down to easier levels of achievement and, in the comfort of their own fire-side the real world vision failed to have any meaning in their life.
In this encircling gloom, that spark of Divinity that all carry became encapsulated and like an unread book relegated to the top shelf in the library of experience. But the spirit is restless; it is the God energy within us and if we are not attuned to the pulse of Mother Earth, then an emptiness fills our heart. The result is we become despondent with ourselves, feel life is wasting away, drift on an endless river with no focus from which to draw strength.
In worldly terms we nearly reached the bottom of our despair; no longer can we blame governments for our own inadequacy; doctors for our failing health or the economy for our financial burdens. Our silence has given the forces of darkness the strength to enslave us. Lack of direction has allowed powerful people to control our destiny, one might well ask, ‘Is it too late’?
A single light in a dark tunnel can have a powerful effect; a million lights can lift darkness and set the sun firmly back in the heavenly realm. First, we must look at the symptoms of our own anxiety and replace despair with immunity, no magic trick, singularly positive thought and our own Divine energy. There is a light in the centre of the forehead, it starts to clear narrow ideas and thinking, refreshes the physical body and transfers this awakening light to the outer layers of our auric field.
Now we are alive again. Unwilling to be caged by convention we challenge the integrity of accepted ideology; however small we are against the great expanse of the universe, a single movement from us sends an echo across the vast reaches of space. The body is no longer a machine but a Divine form worthy of respect; we question doctors who prescribe drugs and surgeons who cut away vital organs. We treat ourselves as Divine beings, carefully choosing our food, seeking nature to prescribe a cure when we are down and, in the stillness feel again the presence of God.
This new process of thought lifts us to see Mother Earth in a new way. Not in isolation, but as part of an interconnected brother/sisterhood which knows no boundaries of nations, oceans or distance. The pain of war in a far off country is our pain, the famine our hunger and man’s isolation from the Creator, our isolation. Can you imagine what would happen if we took control of our own lives?
A new world order would be born. In love we would ban wars; excess profit from suffering nations would be a crime and in our newly found happiness we would again dance in the joyful celebration of nature and condemn all destruction of our beautiful planet. This is no dream of Utopia, neither the revelations of a seer whose philosophy is in the clouds, it is our choice for the survival of mankind. If we continue our present course then within a decade we shall reach the point of no return and from that moment, chaos will control the destiny of all life on this planet.
A single light spreads across the dark reaches of our planet. It is joined by dozens, hundreds, thousands and millions more. We have accepted our own Divinity; our responsibility as ‘droplets of God’. We together will change the course of man’s evolution, in our unity the blighted planet will be restored. We start it with a single word, a single thought, the projection of a single vibration of Love and we invite the whole world to join us in an age of positive energy and enduring peace.
An Author That Uses Encoded Secrets To Empower The Reader
Books talk to us in ways other mediums rarely do. Whether written as fact or fiction, or just a mixture of the two, there are profound statements which often fire the imagination. Thoughts become reality, or so Robert Armstrong would have us believe in his more recent novel ANCIENT KNOWLEDGE. Like his two previous books, it is a story that tests the mind and reveals secrets often held sacred by the initiates of the mystical arts. The reincarnated priestesses of Egypt’s Karnak temple find they have ‘ancient’ memories – the book inspires them in what they already know.
One might think that is sufficient evidence of the progression of the Soul, but that is only the beginning for under the revealed glimpses of the sacred rites is a more powerful secret, that time itself is an illusion. Our living universe is a multidimensional world with portals and doorways accessed under rare and special conditions. In fact, the author has made a giant leap in publication – the book is encoded with mantric energies that allow the reader rare opportunities to explore psychic fields – a single sentence, an empowered word and you may find yourself transported through time and space in ways unimaginable.
This technique of encoding Robert Armstrong first used in his highly acclaimed book FORBIDDEN FREEDOM – it was, he said: ‘a layman’s exploration into spiritual values.’ But the book was more than that, it was a carefully mapped out journey, as character Frank Mitchell changes from being a cloned member of the establishment into a leading exponent of spiritual reality. Like everyone taking the major step – enlightenment comes through a difficult and often heart rendering experience. No longer held together by the web of commercialism that binds society – FORBIDDEN FREEDOM casts off imprisonment of the Soul revealing a new and exciting world.
