About oaths

I want to share a few thoughts about oaths.
Oaths have naturally an important meaning. Quite often God is called as a
witness or higher masters, brothers, etc. Oaths come along with obligations.
And so, it is a very serious thing to take an oath.

From the normal human point of view, an
oath is already very serious. But from the hermetic point of view, an oath is
even more serious as it has real effects and unseen consequences.

An oath is normally phrased in a way
without any details about time and space (situation). For example: “I swear the
oath to serve mankind, God and creation!” This phrasing is like making a
statement about a fact, a present fact which is undeniable. So, indeed taking
an oath is realizing a fact. When we drop time and situation in a phrase then
we create a cause on the Akasha plane. This is the most powerful way to bring
something into realization. And for this reason, oaths are so powerful and at
the same time connected to long term effects/consequences. When you connect the
oath furthermore to God and the spiritual hierarchy then it is even more
powerful. Besides this, there is also a specific deity in the spheres which
controls the keeping of oaths.

In conclusion, this all says that you must
be very conscious about the content of your oath as it can bind you over
decades and whole incarnations. And it is hard to get out of it.

Even more problematic are oaths which are
connected to punishment when you break your oath. Traditionally these are very
bad punishments including torture and death in the end. In this regard there is
an interesting phenomenon. In former times the punishments were realized by the
members of your circle, school or tradition. Today such punishments are against
the laws and so they are not realized by members, but they realize to good
degrees on the mental and astral plane. This means that the member who broke
the oath suffers from mental and astral influences with a strong destructive effect
in analogy to the foreseen punishments. In conclusion, you might be not killed
by your “brothers”, but you suffer and die by the causes which were set in the
unseen worlds.

The golden rule is “Know what you do!”

The positive aspects of oaths on the
spiritual path is that they can unfold a wonderful and powerful drive towards
your spiritual aims. This means, they can help you in a powerful way to realize
mastery and enlightenment. The spiritual worlds will open doors for you, will
guide you and will supply all needed powers and situations to let you reach
your goals.

However, you should consider deeply what contents
you choose for your oath. Also obviously positive oaths can easily cause great
problems in your life. It takes a great degree of wisdom and the knowledge of
the laws of creation to give a useful phrasing to oaths.
