"Leland Royce Kaiser, 82, of Brighton passed away on Thursday, January 3, 2019.
Kaiser’s connections to the Adventist community went well beyond his membership in the Brighton, Colorado, church where he taught an adult Sabbath School class for decades.
For the past thirty years, Lee and his children worked together. They developed programs in alchemy, intuition, philanthropy, and integrative medicine.
Kaiser referred to himself as a Gnostic.
In Ohio, we knew Leland Kaiser best as one of the presenters at the
It was some far out stuff, usually a blend of leftism, mysticism and social justice.
Here is some of the discussion concerning Leland Kaiser, the SDA spiritualist who is an Elder of a Colorado SDA church.

“The Thought Stream—Surrounding the earth is a vast thought stream that contains the thoughts of all people throughout all time. It is the thought history of the Planet Earth. In deep meditation you can enter this stream . . To accelerate the evolution of our planet, highly developed spiritual beings ‘seed’ our thought stream. These seed thoughts can be accessed and built-out by spiritual seekers in their meditations. Thus, a great deal of instruction is available to you."
“You can also ‘return’ to your favorite period of history and enjoy the ‘current’ thinking of people who live there. Eventually, this methodology will enable us to correct our history books. Because of the vested interests of the people who write history, and their followers,—particularly religious groups—it will take a lot of spiritual maturity to accept the revisions. In most cases, history did not happen as it is recorded.”—Leland Kaiser, Intuition Series, August 17, 2005, kaiser.net.
“Often they are embodied as the gods of the cultures. Although their names change, the energy-essence/entities are the same. For instance, Hermes, Mercury, Thoth, and Enoch are all the same energy/ essence . . By identifying with heroes of the past, you tap into their collective archetypal energies which are still active and alive in the spiritual realms . . One of my favorite archetypal [sic] is Thoth, the [ancient Egyptian] god of wisdom . . Thoth is not a person, but rather an energy field built up over the years. It is a giant reservoir of wisdom developed by the students of Thoth . . Surround yourself with pictures, relics and images of this mythic personage. View your self as a living incarnation of him.”—Leland Kaiser, Gnostic Notes, June 18, 2006, on one of his web sites, gnosticnotes.blogspot.com.
"All religions begin in purity and end-up being corrupted. The reason is simple – the founder of the religion was led by Spirit. Often, he or she taught by word of mouth. Nothing was written down. After the founder's passing, the disciples tried to remember what the founder said and began writing it down as well as they could remember it.

After the founder's passing, the disciples tried to remember what the founder said and began writing it down as well as they could remember it.
Different disciples remembered different things and remembered the same things in different ways.
Disciples typically did not enjoy the direct access to Spirit possessed by the founder. Their soul frequency was much lower. In addition, they were often ego driven and involved in power struggles.
Corruption of the teaching was inevitable. As you recall, during the life of Jesus the disciples were involved in power struggles. They often failed to understand his simplest teaching – like why he was on earth. The same thing has been true in all world religions.
The Gnostic solution is simple – go to the Source. God dwells within each of us. If our soul frequency is high enough, Spirit will teach us directly. This constitutes a much purer transmission. Of course, we will still distort the teaching according to our capacity to understand and our degree of ego domination. What we will discover, however, is quite amazing. The teaching of Spirit is not that much different from the story told in the world's sacred scriptures.
The teaching received directly from Spirit is deeper and it is cleansed of translation errors. It is also updated for our culture and times. Truth is truth. It is better received directly from Source.
If followers of any religion have little direct access to Source, they are dependent upon the recorded word in the particular version of the scriptures they possess (many do not even know the various versions of their bibles differ widely). Differences in understanding are inevitable. That is why we have so many Christian denominations. It would not be quite as bad as it is, except that some denominations assume they have it right and the other denominations have it wrong."
“Why am I Drawn so Strongly to Certain Per sons?—We are all different aspects of God reflecting Itself in the third dimension. Poets, mystics, Gnostics and adepts all describe this phenomenon using different metaphors.”—Questions and Answers >Series, June 20, 2006, kaiser.net.
“At the highest level of your Being, you are Spirit— an aspect of the Divine manifesting through you. At this level you simply are and your awareness approaches infinity. You know everything, because you are a part of everything that exists. Spirit resides in all things and therefore knows all things. An intuitive message from your Spirit is is infallible.”—Ibid.
“A bridge between your soul and your Spirit is present at birth in the form of a magneitc link (silver cord). Your soul has a property of reflectivity and can take the impress of your Spirit. This reflectivity in creases with your soul maturity. This magnetic link permits your Spirit to operate through your lower vehicles and express itself in your life. Your Spirit is infinite and incorruptible. It is composed of neither energy or matter, but rather is a unit of consciousness that resides in the mind of God. Your soul is finite and corruptible. It is composed of subatomic matter. The goal of your life on earth is to meld your Spirit and soul into one eternal monad.”—Ibid.
“The bridge between soul and body permits the Spirit to alter your physiological functions and impact matter outside your body. Herein lies the seat of phenomena such as healing, visions, out-of-body ex periences, near death experiences, telephathy, lucid dreams, and interdimensional travel.”—Ibid.
“You attract beings (angels, guides, and inner teachers) from higher dimensions who share your interest. Because they are in sympathy with your intentions, they form a telepathic link with your higher mind . . These Guardians of the human race plant seeds in your mind . . You are preparing vehicles for intuitive communication with higher spiritual intelligences.”—Ibid.
“Reality is a Kaleidoscope—There are many realities . . Each is real for you when you are inside it and unreal to you when you are outside it . . Any other creature that tunes itself to the new reality can enter it and participate with whoever occupies it. It becames a shared reality. You see this with UFOs that enter our reality tunnel and participate with us . . “When he comes close enough to a ‘sleeping’ prob able reality, he awakens it. With appropriate

invocation it begins its descent into the world of form. The image will shimmer and change shapes many times as the mind of the visionary plays upon it. Finally, it assumes a somewhat stable form and is ready for further ‘densification.’ When sufficiently densified, it enters the thought streams and can be perceived by anyone ‘fishing the stream."—Leland Kaiser, Vision ing-11, Kaiser.net.
"We do not presently live in the fullness of God’s universe. We live in a restricted mental model handed down by previous generations. This limiting model, often unconscious, restricts what we can perceive and cognize. It is high time to build a new mental model of ourselves and our relationship to the universe. It will be a model rooted in holism, relationships, and interdependence. It will synthesize science, spirituality, and business. It will stress social networking and virtual teams. It will build bridges across all the existing chasms in our society. The new mental model views community as a living organism and sees every organization as an organ in that collective body. With the increasing advance of computers and telecommunication technologies, humanity will develop global consciousness. We talk about body, mind, and spirit; yet, we ignore spirit. In the future, we will explore the power of soul-based therapies that enable patients to release their inherent healing potentials. These therapies involve viewing disease as an opportunity for personal transformation. They include the creation of sacred areas in the hospital such as a labyrinth ....." Kaiser on Spectrum
PERSONAL OBSERVATION: What the man seemed to be was one of those men chasing filthy lucre [Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre's sake. Titus 1:11] who came up with clever one liner's mixed with a charismatic charming presence to get people to pay to hear him speak. Below are some of his little made up proverbial cutesy sayings his admirers love to quote:
“The future is not just an extension of the present. The future is
determined by what we do.”
“The future is simply infinite possibility waiting to happen.”
“We cannot have what we cannot imagine.”
“To create a preferred future, you must first envision it.”
“Changing your mind changes your future.”
“We create boundaries when we want to avoid responsibility.”
“Visionary is a self-fulfilling prophet. Don’t predict the future. Create it.”
“You don’t live in the universe; you live in your mental model of the universe.”
"Answer can only find the questions you ask."
“A change of world view changes the world viewed.”

Q: How was this man not disfellowshipped let alone allowed to teach a Sabbath School? [A man that is an heretic after the first and second admonition reject; Titus 3:10].
He was far worse than Kellogg's The Living Temple Crises teaching where Ellen White herself moved to kick him out of the Church back in the day.
*One might say it's because Kaiser had money---but Kellogg had money too---the richest man in the Church at the time---but that didn't intimidate or stop E,G.W. from getting Kellogg and his pantheistic views ousted.....and was told to take his money with him.
*So something else had to be afoot when it comes to Kaiser and Church leadership....I'll leave it to your imagination what that might have been.....
