Beyond Exclusivity: The Meaning of "Chosen"

The notion of a chosen people has sparked controvery, criticism, and heated debates due to its perceived exclusivity, rather than its inclusivity. According to the Akashic Records channeled through Edgar Cayce, the term "chosen" is not exclusive to a specific race or belief system:

• "… who is Israel? Not the Jew, but Israel is the seeker after truth." (5377-11)

• "Israel is the chosen of the Lord, and that His promise, His care, His love has not departed from those that seek to know His way… This is the meaning, this should be the understanding to all. Those who seek are Israel…” (262-28)

• “… ye too find thyselves chosen. Have ye chosen Him?  For as was given, “If ye will by my people, I will by thy God.” (3976-21)

• "… as a chosen people, as a people with a definite mission, a definite purpose, called of the Divine to establish the NAME in a given place, a given purpose…" (454-2)

So, "chosen" means truth-seeker, seeker of God's ways, whom God has chosen for a definite mission and a definite purpose.

Time and again, the Beloveds on High have referred to Lilies as a "chosen people." Rightfully so, for Lilies are anointed by God to be His elect, His betrothed, "chosen" by God for His mission and purpose. The God-given mission: Peace and One Brotherhood of Man. The God-given purpose: Restore the Chosen Ones to Oneness and be a light unto nations​.

MISSION

“Called of the Divine to establish the NAME... a given purpose.” 

"Called of the Divine" is a term used to describe someone who is believed to have been chosen or appointed by a higher power, such as God or a deity. It suggests a special purpose or mission for that individual.

In many religious and spiritual traditions, individuals may be seen as "called" to a particular path, role, or vocation. This calling can be experienced in various ways, such as through visions, dreams, inner guidance, or external circumstances.

Delving further into the Cayce readings, we discover that a NAME represents not just a soul's identity but also his soul purpose:

• "There is a name to each soul. For He [God] hath called His own by name!" (281-30)

• "… the name is relative to that which is accomplished by the soul in its sojourn throughout its whole experience… the name is the sum total of what the soul-entity in all of its vibratory forces has borne toward the Creative Force itself." (281-30)

• "Names have their meaning, and these depend upon the purposes… [of] an individual entity entering the earth’s plane." (457-10)

In the context of the Lily & Beyond, being "called of the Divine to establish the NAME" means that God has appointed Lilies as agents of purity. Their divine mission is to embody and manifest the essence of "Lily" – representing purity – on Earth. This sacred duty is their covenant with God.

"Have ye chosen Him?"

Becoming a chosen one requires a mutual choice. It's not enough for God to select someone; that individual must also choose God. The Akashic Records through Edgar Cayce confirms this:

• “As man… came to the point wherein he walked not after the ways of spirit, but after the desires of the flesh, sin entered—that is, away from the Face of the Maker, see? And death then became man’s portion spiritually, see? For the physical death existed from the beginning; for to create one must die, see?” (900-227)

• “From what may anyone be saved? Only from themselves! That is, their individual hell; they dig it with their own desires!” (262-40)

• "Nothing may separate the soul of man from its Maker but desires and lusts.” (1293-1)

Examples of not choosing God are:

• “… to use spiritual forces for the satisfying of material appetites.”

• "... he walked not after the ways of spirit, but after the desires of the flesh," so sin entered, man turned away from God's face, and spiritual death became his imminent fate.

• "Nothing may separate the soul of man from its Maker but desires and lusts.”

From above negative examples, we can infer that choosing God means:

• Walking in the ways of Spirit above the desires and lusts of the flesh.

• Choosing "Oneness with God" over gratifying desires & lusts of the flesh.

• Using spiritual forces for co-creation of the common good, in alliance with our Creator's purpose.

A Covenant of Love: Chosen and Betrothed

"Betrothed" means engaged to be married. It is a formal term used to describe a future spouse, or a couple who have promised to marry each other.

In a religious context, particularly within Christianity, being God's chosen one and being His betrothed are often interconnected concepts.

• Chosen One: This typically implies a special selection or designation by God for a particular purpose or mission. It often carries connotations of divine favor, blessing, and a unique relationship with the divine.

• Betrothed: In this context, being betrothed to God symbolizes a spiritual commitment or covenant (see Covenants of a Lily). It suggests a deep, intimate, and exclusive relationship, similar to that of a human couple who are engaged to be married.

Therefore, being God's betrothed is a more specific manifestation of being His chosen one. It emphasizes the exclusivity and sacredness of the relationship, as well as the promise of a future union or fulfillment. This concept is often used to describe the relationship between God and the people of Israel in the Old Testament, and between Christ and the Church in the New Testament.

In the context of a Lily Activation, the concept of "chosen & betrothed" is used to describe the close relationship between The Beloved (G-d) and His Lilies who—as ever-evolving christos, guided by a God-appointed mission and purpose—seek to establish the Kingdom of God on Earth.
