The path to enlightenment

A Guide to the Soul’s Ascension Journey

If you don’t know where you want to go, then you are sure not to get there. So it goes with the destination of Enlightenment. It is something hardly discussed in day to day conversations among most people, not taught in our primary education curriculum, and there is no “manual” with easy (and accurate) to follow steps on the internet or a “how-to” video on You-Tube.  Yet, one could argue that it is the most important objective for every human.  Why? Because it takes one to that state of Being which reclaims their forgotten God-Power. Or, to put it slightly differently, the attainment of it results in someone assuming their rightful place as God in Human Form. 

“There cannot be a deity outside of your body that is not within your body, as all is vibrating or emanating energy. Thus, these vibrations flow through your body as well as around it and the vibrations of the Deity include every atom of your whole body as well as the whole mass of the Universe. Thus, you put God everywhere, before all, within all, around all, enveloping all, and  enfolding all. There is not an atomic space that does not have the emanating energy of Light and Life flowing through it.”

~from Book 3, Masters of the Far East

The Path to Enlightenment is often called the Ascension Path. When we Ascend, we rise to a higher state of being, or vibration. We en-light-en, and become filled with more light. Our vibrational frequency rises, and we radiate more light, and more accurately, we attain and radiate a clearer and more powerful sound (sound vibration sped up results in light). The music of our mind, body, and soul becomes lighter, finer, more harmonious, and beautiful. 

This guide is my contribution to those who seek to be intentional during this great Ascension Cycle our planet and Galaxy are currently undergoing. And as all is inter-connected, it is reasonable to say how we progress affects not only ourselves, but everyone and everything in the Universe as well. The Ascension is and will affect all on planet Earth. No one is excluded – the rising frequency of our planet and galaxy in this great shift in vibratory reality and consciousness is something we must all face in our own way. The good news is that the rapidly rising energies on the planet and the breakdown and elimination of the control structure of the dark forces provides a great opportunity to accelerate our soul evolution to higher levels of vibration and consciousness – to more quickly attain our inner-god-hood and “bring heaven down to earth”.

The information I’m going to provide you is based on my own experiences with the Ascension process over the course of my current life time, and in particular over the last twenty years. I will share what I have learned on how to overcome many of the road-blocks put in the way to limit the rise of human consciousness. The dark forces have been quite creative in the tactics and techniques they have used to hold humanity down – to reduce and distort the individual and collective energetic vibration.  More broadly, I’ll share what I have learned in comparing my experiences with what others have described through the ages in terms of raising their consciousness.  I believe there are some common experiences, milestones, and challenges that everyone faces Ascending on the Path to Enlightenment and Reclaiming their Divine Super-Powers.  My hope is that by clearly knowing what the end-goal is and what some of the key requirements and challenges are, it will help you on your own unique and personal journey and increase the chances for success.

Is Operation Covid the attempted societal implementation of George Orwell’s 1984?

[image error]

George Orwell’s 1984 illustrates the power of politically correct “Thought Police” and “Big Brother” government bureaucrats. The society portrayed in “1984” is one in which social control is exercised through disinformation and surveillance. If you attempt to maintain a life of freedom and sovereignty you are “re-educated” to fall in line with the dictates of the “nation state”. Sound familiar? Read the book again or watch the John Hurt movie adaptation and you’ll be stunned at the similarities to the mind-control, censorship, and social manipulation going on around us today. Are those who work in corporate mainstream media outlets, along with Google, Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter, the modern day employees of 1984’s “Ministry of Truth”? And, are we in a surveillance state? It’s not just the ubiquity of security camera’s everywhere, it’s also the data collection and eves dropping via our smart phones, computers, and internet connected electronics (thanks Alexa). And, the list would not be complete without mentioning the thousands of satellites in the sky with capabilities to see and hear through material structures anywhere and everywhere to easily spy on anyone with ease.

[image error]

As Zachary Tomlinson wrote in December 2018, “The true terror in 1984 is ultimately the annihilation of the self and the destruction of the capacity to recognize the real world. Orwell’s work is not being subtle, or trying to look down on common people for falling prey to this: he understands how hard it is to get things right. However, his story pins down the unsettling horror of a world where people are stripped of their essential freedoms as they have fewer and fewer words to use to defend them, and whose thinking is distorted by blind ideologies. All over the world, where tyrannies rule, 1984 is banned. But of course, it is still pirated, digitally downloaded, and printed into false covers. And sales have surged too in countries that have always been known as stable democracies. It is not only that we live in a world transformed by Orwell’s insights in that they have shaped how we see oppression, but also that 1984 has become a practical handbook for handling difficult times. Ultimately, it helps us to remember that knowledge is a kind of strength and we are all being tested.”

What is the antidote? A quote from Ethan Indio Smith writing in Waking Times in February 2017 puts it well:  “As the character of Winston Smith accurately observes in his diary, “If there is any hope, it lies with the Proles” — just as our hope for today lies with the so-called “99%”. The “proles” in our society must begin to look beyond the bread and circus, beyond the prolefeed, and become a true brotherhood, and sisterhood, by questioning information, educating themselves, and sharing what they learn with others in order that we might overcome institutional oppression and finally create the ‘golden age’ that is our combined potential.”

Mystic Insights No. 15 – What is real?

[image error]

What is Real?

Is the Material World Real? Yes, but it is temporary, transitory. Ultimately, the only thing that survives in Infinity, is Love. Everything else is a real, but temporary illusion.

As one travels through the spiral of space and time and frequencies rise, the love vibration gets higher and higher. In that evolution, everything that is aligned with Oneness, Truth, and Unconditional Love, survives. All else perishes for it cannot survive in the higher frequency levels of Love-Light. This means that what is real is only one thing – Love.

Love in action, love as a thought, love as service to others, and love in creative output. Love as the understanding that there is no separation between you and anything else. All is One. Love like this and one has a life of real meaning, real truth.

Keep remembering you are much more than your experiences in this or any life time. You are the Eternal, the Real in Human Form. What matters is what you choose to co-create with the Divine-Will in the Now, in the Present Moment.

The Truth, the Love-Light, Transforms Everything in its Path. This is Ascension.

Mystic insights No. 14 – Let the light In

[image error]

Allowance of and full openness to the Divine Source lets more Light in. Remove any resistance and hesitation. Tune your Being to the Vibration of Light. The more clear and undistorted you can make your Physical, Emotional, Mental, and Spiritual bodies, the stronger and purer the Light flows through you. Regularly pursue those things that help you tune and uplift your energetic frequency to the attributes of the Divine Source – Joy, Love, Bliss, and Peace – and remove from your life those things that lower your frequency to those of fear, anger, and hate. Common energetic frequency raising pursuits include:

Listening to or Creating Music (harmonious or joy inducing)Daily MeditationExpressing Gratitude and LoveBeautiful artLoving Intimate RelationshipsSingingDancingGiving freely and Being of Service to OthersUsing Natural Essential OilsCooking and Eating Clean Foods (organic and non-gmo)Practicing YogaEnjoying Creative HobbiesTravelingEnjoying NatureViewing Beautiful PhotographyWatching Uplifting MoviesPhysical ExerciseReading High Consciousness Material



[image error]

The more clear and undistorted the Light transmission pathway in and out of your mind-body-spirit complex, the more you access your inherent Divine power to co-create your material reality. The Divine Matrix of Light carries your personal destiny code. When the Light is clear and strong and you are in alignment with the Divine Matrix by following the life-plan of your own Divine Higher Self (your soul existing at a higher dimensional level beyond space and time). Everything then in your life proceeds in synchronicity with what is in your highest good. However, when you distort the Light with your ego-driven free-will choices and low-frequency thoughts and emotions, then that is when the path of life becomes rocky and difficult.

The source of wisdom and power, of love and beauty, is within ourselves, but not within our egos. It is within our consciousness. Indeed, its presence provides us with a conscious contrast which enables us to speak of the ego as if it were something different and apart: it is the true Self whereas the ego is only an illusion of the mind…Once the Overself is felt in the heart as a living presence, it raises the consciousness out of the grip of the egoistic-desire parts of our being, frees it from the ups and downs of mood and emotion which they involve. It provides a sense of inner satisfaction that is complete in itself and irrespective of outside circumstances.

Paul Brunton in The Short Path to Enlightenment

Achieving alignment and union with your inner God, your Higher Self (or Overself), provides you with your own Cosmic GPS that always steers you in the direction that is in alignment with your highest good. It resolves, soothes, heals, and elevates you to who you truly are – God in Human Form.

So be Silent, Still, and turn inward and seek the connection to your Higher Self and listen. A world of Joy, Happiness, Bliss, Peace, and un-limited Creative Power awaits you.

Mystic Insights No. 13 – The Divine Human

[image error]

There cannot be a deity outside of your body that is not within your body, as all is vibrating or emanating energy. Thus, these vibrations flow through your body as well as around it and the vibrations of the Deity include every atom of your whole body as well as the whole mass of the Universe. Thus, you put God everywhere, before all, within all, around all, enveloping all, and enfolding all. There is not an atomic space that does not have the emanating energy of Light and Life flowing through it.

~Teaching of the Masters of the Far East, book 3

If we were to understand this, then we would conclude us and everything is the Divine Creator Source. The logical conclusion then would be that harming someone or something else or not doing something in the highest interest of others would be incomprehensible. It would be as if you were to take a sledge hammer and bludgeon yourself. 

But every day a sleeping humanity goes around doing just that in a billion different ways called “normal every day reality, or just business, or making a living, or let me treat the symptoms instead of truly healing the cause”. 

Yet, if any person decides to stop thinking and being in a way that sees them as separate from everything else, then they immediately re-connect to that Divine Source and reclaim their rightful inherent Divine God-Powers. They would have decided to remember that they and their fellow Earth Citizens are God in Human Form. Would a God that awoke from his or her amnesia do most of what humans do on a daily basis to themselves and each other…? 

Worth contemplating, yes?

7 Spiritual Imperatives for Reclaiming Your Divine Power

[image error]

There are Life Promoting Things and Life Destroying Things. Choose those that Promote and Create Life. Love is the key ingredient. True Love creates, protects, grows, it does not destroy, harm, judge or work against the best interests of another or oneself. Anything that does that is not true Love, but many times an impostor masquerading as good in order to cause harm to yourself or another.Love is Full Acceptance of Something or Someone. If the Divine Source creates all that is Beautiful and is working through everything, then the more you Love, the more you embrace all parts of yourself, others, nature, and all beauty of the world. This leads to better union and integration with the Source and provides true healing. As a result, you reclaim your rightful divine power.The Goal is to Identify and Magnify the Beauty in Yourself, Others, and the Natural World. That is how you connect to the Divine Source. You also fully accept in yourself and others what is not of Source, not beautiful, but realize that it is an error in understanding or choice. You forgive yourself or the other, and work to achieve understanding. Beauty that is skin-deep is fragile and not sustainable. Real beauty comes from a deeper place and is natural and organic versus artificial and manipulated. It is a beauty that transmits the essence of Joy, Creativity, Love, Service to Others, and High Vibration. Many times, the dark forces on this planet, mix low vibration elements into high vibration elements to trick us into accepting or consuming something that is not in our highest interest. It is up to us to develop the discernment and knowledge to know the difference. Once we know, we can either choose to avoid that item, or find a way to extract the good and discard the bad. No matter what your taste there’s a good and not so good version of everything. Find and choose the good. The Body, Mind, and Spirit are Intricately Linked and Work Together to Achieve Balance and Harmony. When one aspect takes precedence over the others, imbalance and suffering occurs. The higher self seeks to regain balance by providing catalyst (changes in your life circumstances) to either lessen or increase your focus in one or more of the three areas to regain harmony. An equally important task is to learn how to maximize the energetic vibration in all three body’s -Mental Body (managing thoughts and emotions), Physical Body (removing toxins, consuming high vibration foods, and increasing energetic flow), and Spiritual Body (embracing and appreciating all that is the Divine Source).What You Choose, You Amplify in Yourself. Everything is energetic vibration. Energetically, you are what you consume. Those choices are thoughts, food you eat, products you use, media you watch and listen to, the people you interact with, the words you use, the emotions you create, and more. If what you are consuming (or producing in terms of thoughts, words, and emotions) is low in vibration, then you also remain low in vibration. This cuts off your flow of High Vibration Divine Energy, because like flows to like. The higher self provides feedback through catalyst to awaken you to make better, more conscious choices that raise vibration, not lower or distort it.Knowledge Protects, Ignorance Kills. If you know the Truth about something – what you should do for your highest good – but choose to suppress, ignore, distort, or avoid it, this further blocks the Divine Source from flowing to and through you. In terms of Universal Law, you have chosen to experience the opposite of Truth, so that’s what you receive in respect of your free will. The “Fall” is about the Separation of the Human from Divine Truth (that we are all inherently One Interconnected Being). The Fall is the error made in forgetting that we are spiritual energetic beings at our core versus purely material entities living in a static, disconnected material reality.Once we remember that our spiritual essence is immortal, fluid, and possesses god-power, then the shackles of the material world fall away. We regain our understanding that we create (by our thoughts and emotions), our physical reality. The change we want to see or experience in the world is within our control. To complain and criticize what we are experiencing has two flaws – one, it doesn’t recognize the inherent unity and interconnectedness of all life, and two, it doesn’t acknowledge our role in the creation of what we have experienced. Once you reconnect to the Divine Source flowing through you, you regain your immense power to heal yourself, repair the world, and consciously create your reality. We are all much more powerful than we realize…

Mystic Insights No. 12 – Mystic Prayer and Co-Creating with the Divine Source

 

[image error]

 

Pray

verb

address a solemn request or expression of thanks to a deity or other object of worship.

“the whole family is praying for Michael”

synonyms: say one’s prayers, make one’s devotions, offer a prayer/prayers

“let us pray”

invoke, call on, implore, appeal to, entreat, beg, petition, supplicate;

literarybeseech – “she prayed God to forgive her”

 

Prayer and Praying is soothing for many people as well as providing some level of hope for better times ahead. It also tends to create the effect that we’ve moved into a place of action – we are “asking” rather than just sitting waiting for things to get better.

But there is a downside to the traditional form of prayer that Mystics recognize. It places the Divine Source outside of you, as something separate from yourself. It says to you that “You are Less Than…” and therefore must entreat to a powerful external force. For the Mystic this is at odds with the understanding that God / The Divine Source (certainly not a man with a beard sitting high on some hill, but rather the infiinite source of creative energy and information) is an integral part of you and all of creation.

You are an emanation of God, The Source, in human material form. To “invoke, call on, implore, appeal, entreat, beg, petition, supplicate” to yourself doesn’t quite seem right. To connect, unify, harmonize, and fully merge with the Divine Source which has created you, is creating you in every moment, and to recognize and align with that immense power is the natural path of the Mystic. The Mystic realizes that they and everyone are much more powerful than they realize. If they are Gods in form, then they possess the same creative powers and capabilites (albeit at a lower level).

The “Mystic Prayer” then is not an entreaty or petition but a daily practice of synergizing your material form and all aspects of your mind-body-spirit complex with the Source of Divine Vibrational Creative Energy and Information that is Creating through you. To align with its Creative Direction and to be the one “on the ground” implementing its Will in Creative Human ways for the highest good of All. This alignment results in Intentional Co-Creation and Manifestation with the Divine.

 

Praying, is Speaking to God. Meditation, is Listening.

 

The “Mystic Prayer” then, is not speaking, but listening. For to connect with the Divine within you, to align with its will, you must be able to hear, feel, and understand it. This requires a deep level of inner silence, stillness, and humility (the subduing of the Ego). Most Mystics meditate and strive for deep mindfulness for this reason, to still the mind, to minimize the ego-chatter, so that they can realize and connect with the Divine Source within (Passive Meditation). Once connected, that Divine Energy field guides you, heals every aspect of you, and provides you with the power to c0-create and manifest your desired reality (Active Meditation).

You are God in Form. You create like it does – through the power of energetic vibration via your thoughts and emotions. To ask that it do something is fine, but what it wants is for you to remember who you really are. It desires that you re-connect with it, and create what is in the highest interest of yourself and others, on your own utilizing your inherent God power – the power of Divine Thought and Consciousness.

The Restoration of Right Vision is the Single Most Important Task Confronting Individuals and Society Today

[image error]

“it is the great challenge of a life dedicated to lucid waking. Addressing the social aspect of this problem, social scientist Duane Elgin writes: ‘We cannot consciously create a future that we have not imagined. When our collective visualization is weak and fragmented, then our ability to build a workable and meaningful future is commensurately diminished. To consciously evolve, we require a clear vision a compassionate future that draws out our enthusiastic participation in life. The richness and reach of our social vision is a direct measure of our civilizational maturity.

Moreover, the depth of our social vision — that is the vision that informs our society at large — depends on the spiritual maturity of our social visionaries, their personal level of wakefulness and their degree of wisdom. As long as they continue to misunderstand the real nature of our present-day crisis, which is spiritual, and dabble merely in technological solutions, the future of the human race looks grim.

By putting right vision into practice, we not only shape our own destiny positively but also, in ever widening circles, influence our fellow beings in benign ways.

Real self-interest is the pursuit of a life filled with peace, harmony, joy, and compassionate action for the benefit of others. What is real about this is that even as we promote the physical, mental, moral, and spiritual welfare of others we promote our own total well-being. Right vision, above all, honors the essential interconnectedness of all beings and things. It is ecological in the deepest sense of the word: mindful of the universe as our ‘Home’ (Greek: oikos), in which all beings are close relatives and in which there are no strangers or enemies.”

~Georg Feuerstein writing in his book, Lucid Waking, Mindfulness and the Spiritual Potential of Humanity

“To create Peace in the World, You must be Unruffled within. Become Tranquil, Walk in Stillness, and Act in Harmony. The Serenity that Radiates from You will Create Peace.”

~Daniel Levin

The True Nature of Reality is Within You …“Inside me there was everything I had believed was outside. There was, in particular, the sun, light, and all colors. There were even the shapes of objects and the distance between objects. Everything was there and movement as well… Light is an element that we carry inside us and which can grow there with as much abundance, variety, and intensity as it can outside of us… God is there under a form that has the good luck to be neither religious, not intellectual, nor sentimental, but quite simply alive.” ― Jacques Lusseyran

We are all consumers of Energetic Vibration and Information … Choose carefully…“I cannot remember the books I have read any more than the meals I have eaten; even so, they have made me.” — Ralph Waldo Emerson.  Update to the 21st century … “ I cannot remember the books, movies, television programs, music, magazines, blog posts, social media, news programs, podcasts, and speech of others that I have consumed; even so, they have made me. From moment to moment they acutely affect my thoughts and emotions and therefore determine the energetic vibration I exist at. When I am vigilant and thoughtful, I don’t allow negative words, imagery, and sound to enter my being. The result when I do this is a connection to divine consciousness which provides a harmonious life full of beauty, love, joy, and perfect health.”

The Challenge of Effective Communication – “Listening is the means by which we understand the messages that are verbally given to us. Listening is more than just hearing; hearing is the process of the ears receiving sound whereas listening is the process of the brain attaching meaning to the sound.” ~Dee Apolline …and there lies the rub – one person’s meaning which is based on their particular world-view, experiences, and biases is different from every other person. A group of people can listen intently and actively to the exact same speech or discussion and come away with significantly different understanding of what was said or intended by the speaker. Therefore, striving to understand each other’s ‘meaning’ and exploring our own and other’s assumptions and biases is one way to close the communication gap.

“If we don’t question what seems wrong, we’ll never understand what is right.” ~Paul McGowan

“All of us are born mystics,” writer Ann Gordon tells us, “for the capacity to experience wonder and a primal sense of connectedness with all life is our birthright.” And what mystics have always known has been confirmed by physics and ecology – all things are interconnected. What happens in one place affects all places.We are finally settling into a period when the dueling dualisms of the past are giving way to holistic thinking. The separations between mind and body, human nature and the natural world, are being scrapped for a new project – the reenchantment of the world. We are learning what Christian theologian Richard Niebuhr knows: “Passage into larger, more encompassing life takes place in our acts of connecting with living beings whom we, in our casual unmindfulness, treat as separate from ourselves.” ~Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat from their book, Spiritual Literacy

“There are only two mistakes one can make along the road to truth; not going all the way, and not starting.”  ~Buddha

“Entering into harmonic relationships is the goal not only of music. It is the goal of atoms and molecules, of planetary orbits, of cells and hearts, of brain waves and movements, of flocks of birds and schools of fish and – in principle – of human beings. All of them (or better: the cosmos, the entire creation) have harmony as their final goal.” ~ Joachim-Ernst Berendt, writing in The World is Sound

Our Perception Creates Our Reality: “Quantum Mechanics teaches us that reality is altered as it’s being observed. We change what we see as we are looking at it. Hence, the way we perceive ourselves and the world around us influences not only our subjective experience of reality – but also reality itself. This is the biggest unknown in the equation of Seeing and Perceiving Truth. The ultimate challenge in wanting to pierce through outer illusions is that we have to be willing to decode our inner illusions first. The way we perceive things determines our reference point in time and space, how we feel and what we sense, and thus creates an energy field that interacts with whatever outer energy we are observing. In other words – how we experience reality – or Truth for that matter – depends on our general energetic alignment and temporary state.” ~jona bryndis

“There are two ways to be fooled. One is to believe what isn’t true; the other is to refuse to believe what is true.” ~Søren Kierkegaard

“We must know how to alternately use the faculties of the intellect and the heart, in other words, to balance the cold current, which circulates in the region of wisdom, with the warm current of love. Truth lies within this balance. If love is not tempered by wisdom, it leads to sentimentality, carelessness, sensuality; but wisdom by itself leads to coldness, contempt and cruelty. Therefore the cold of wisdom must temper the warmth of love, and the warmth of love must moderate the cold of wisdom. Truth – which is life – will find the best conditions in this temperate climate. If the grain of wheat is to grow normally, it needs just enough warmth and not too much cold either. There is an ideal temperature for all seeds, and why not also for those seeds called human beings? Why would we be an exception?” ~Omraam Mikhael Aivanhov

“If you expect any benefits from your search, material, mental or spiritual, you have missed the point. Truth gives no advantage. It gives you no higher status, no power over others; all you get is truth and the freedom from the false.”~ Nisargadatta Maharaj

The most useful piece of learning for the uses of life is to unlearn what is untrue.” ~Antisthenes

“Chaos is necessary for a system to restructure and rebuild itself on a higher level.” ~Vera Ingeborg

“The great and fatal pitfall in the art field and in life is dependence on the intellect rather than inspiration. Dependence on intellect means a consideration of observed facts and deductions from observation as a guide in life. Dependence on inspiration means dependence on consciousness, a growing consciousness that develops from awareness of beauty and happiness.To live and work by inspiration you have to stop thinking.You have to hold your mind still in order to hear inspiration clearly.” ~Artist Agnes Martin

FEAR – False Evidence Appearing as Real – When we focus on what we dread, we give power to false evidence and make it reality. To an Earthkeeper, love is not a feeling ─ nor is it something you barter with. Love is the essence of who you are, and it radiates from you as a brilliant aura: You become love, practice fearlessness, and attain enlightenment.” ~ A. Villoldo  [Fear is Truly the Enemy …]

“One answer to ‘why?’ is that we let this suffering happen because for the most part we cannot avoid it. The Earth World is designed specifically to give us seasons of great resistance and challenge. It is trying to knock us out of the pride of our mind’s knowledge of form and matter, logic and reason, and beyond our outer illusion into the silent wisdom of the heart. I have seen it said often that the longest distance in the spiritual search is the fourteen inches from head to heart.” ~Carla Rueckert

“Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.”- Rumi

We Create our Physical Reality through Our Minds – Mind is Cause, Reality is an Effect: “When man solves the mystery of imagining, he will have discovered the secret of causation, and that is: Imagining creates reality. Therefore, the man who is aware of what he is imagining knows what he is creating; realizes more and more that the drama of life is imaginal – not physical. All activity is at bottom imaginal. An awakened Imagination works with a purpose. It creates and conserves the desirable, and transforms or destroys the undesirable.” ~ from The Law and The Promise by Neville Goddard

“Meditation in the better sense is the bending of the Consciousness and the raising of the Mind to the plane where Intuition guides and where some noble idea or aspiration is native, and the holding of the consciousness in Thought there.” – G. de Purucker

Raising Your Consciousness and Reclaiming Your Inherent Divine Power: “Regaining spiritual consciousness is not tearing one house down and building another. It is more like moving out of the basement and into the main floor. Remember that you are an individualized Energy Field. Within this force field are lower and higher vibrations. Your ‘I’ of identity is like the mercury in a thermometer, rising and falling according to the weather of your thoughts and emotions. For the majority of people, the ‘I’ remains the cold, dark atmosphere of the lower mind, while all the time in the upper region of the energy field, the Sun is shining and there is the warmth of Light, Love, and Joy. Here, the Energy is pure, the vibrations high, and the Consciousness illumined.” ~ John Randolph Price from his book, The Planetary Commission

“Power, properly understood, is the ability to achieve purpose. It is the strength required to bring about social, political, or economic changes. In this sense power is not only desirable but necessary in order to implement the demands of love and justice. One of the greatest problems of history is that the concepts of love and power are usually contrasted as polar opposites. Love is identified with a resignation of power and power with a denial of love …What is needed is a realization that power without love is reckless and abusive and that love without power is sentimental and anemic. Power at its best is love implementing the demands of justice. Justice at its best is love correcting everything that stands against love.” ~ Martin Luther King

“When you look in the mirror, what do you see? Do you see the real you, or what you have been conditioned to believe is you? The two are so, so different. One is an infinite consciousness capable of being and creating whatever it chooses, the other is an illusion imprisoned by its own perceived and programmed limitations.” ~David Icke

“Mind is consciousness which has put on limitations. You are originally unlimited and perfect. Later you take on limitations and become the mind.” ~Ramana Maharshi
