Blavatsky is more direct in identifying the head of the Logos: for her it is "Satan". He is "one<br />

with the Logos" which is ultimately one force. He also bears the title "Kumara" and is the<br />

oldest and highest of the angelic gods. (_Doctrine_ II, 103, 234-235) (For more on Satan's<br />

centrality in Theosophy, see HPB's chapter, "Satan, a Centripetal Force", p.245)<br />

7. The NA gods "overshadowing" humans: from teachers to tenants.<br />

Humans are gods, if only they knew it. But Creme clarifies that when people pray, they are<br />

not to pray to themselves, but to "the God within" or the "God immanent". This is their<br />

higher god-self whom they do not yet know as their self. God being in all, this higher self is<br />

in union, or "at-one-ment", with other selves higher up in their spiritual evolution - ancient<br />

spirits who have mastered their godhood and "ascended" into "a higher vibration" (no longer<br />

needing bodies). These beings, who already know their higher selves as god, are divine from<br />

our standpoint. They know of our race's condition and have offered mankind their help in<br />

evolving into godhood. So in practical terms, prayer is directed to these higher beings as<br />

though to "God", and responses are "transmitted" from them. Since they are united with the<br />

Divine, the enlightened worshiper is expected to accept their every word as Divine Truth,<br />

even if it seems like nonsense or contradicts what they said yesterday. If he does so, the<br />

recipient will gain knowledge, power, health and inner peace, and come closer to his own<br />

godhood.<br />

In response to human need, some of these Masters become "Avatars" by occasionally taking<br />

up residence on the physical plane within a human host, known as "incarnation" (in their own<br />

body) or "overshadowing" (sharing the body with another soul). There are different degrees of<br />

overshadowing, ranging from divine impressions (resulting in channeling and dictation of<br />

"wisdom" literature) to the host actually "stepping out" of his body to allow the "master" full<br />

control. (see Bailey's _A Treatise on Cosmic Fire_, p.756-757) This last stage transforms the<br />

outwardly normal-looking person into a body hosting an alien resident; the human owner is<br />

known in NA parlance as a "walk-out", and the spirit-tenant is a benevolent "walk-in".<br />

[Interesting that not even the toughest NA cynics question the motives or integrity of these<br />

strangers who ask us to surrender our rightful property to them. Is there such a thing as a<br />

spiritual "free lunch"? Read on.] A detailed explanation of the phenomenon is available in<br />

the landmark 1979 book: _Strangers Among Us: Enlightened Beings from a World to Come_,<br />

by Ruth Montgomery, a walk-in enthusiast. [Although outdated, it is useful in presenting the<br />

basics of this belief.] Montgomery, who claims to have received her information through<br />

channeling, writes: "Most Walk-ins zealously guard the secret of their altered identity,<br />

because people tend to fear" the phenomenon (p.47) and would launch "witchhunts" (p.125).<br />

But walk-ins can be identified by their unusual powers, including mind-reading, the power to<br />

"forestall" human activity (p.30) and the ability to insert thoughts into a human mind which<br />

he thinks are his own (p.71). ["Star Wars" fans will recall the ability of the "Jedi knight" to do<br />

all of these.] Montgomery was told that walk-ins number into the "tens of thousands [as of<br />

1979]" (p.13), and she prophesies of a walk-in US President at some point (p.207).<br />

It is common for disincarnate spirits to approach a human host and ask for entry. But step-bystep<br />

instructions are provided in _Strangers_ for people who don't want to wait to be<br />

propositioned. Montgomery elaborates on the reasons a human host decides to "check out" of<br />

his body and permit an "exalted one" to move in: a reluctance to face "the coming holocaust"<br />

(p.71), being "discouraged or heartsick" (p.34), and "wishing for a long period of rest from<br />

worldly cares" (p.44). These voluntary walk-outs will be exempt from the "bad karma"<br />

normally incurred by failing to fulfill one's life purpose, since they are contributing to the<br />

good of others. [What a deal.... Who doesn't want "a rest from worldly cares"?? As society<br />

becomes more chaotic, "walk-out volunteers" can be expected to increase exponentially.
