SACRED STEPS - A Guide to Soul Progression
Ancient Yoga and A Course in Miracles
seen through a student's eye
You have been called. . .
Your steps continue on the pathway Home. No one comes this far without an awareness of the journey he takes. The years roll by, lifetimes unfold, opportunities present themselves gain. Each instant becomes another glorious lesson filled with the learning of the ages, reflecting the wisdom of eternity.
You have begun to open your eyes to the wonder of your spiritual progress. No more are you blind to the deeper purpose of life in this world. But now a rich, ‘new’ meaning shapes every moment, every action, every encounter.
You have been called. . .and you have answered!
The following pages will cover lifetimes of study—study that has been accomplished through the journeys of many seekers over life after life, challenge after challenge, reward after reward. Thus, the Sacred Steps Study Program reflects the insights I have gained and the learning I have received from my travels into ancient yoga philosophies, comparative religions, co-dependency recovery -- And of course, from the more than thirty years of my studying and teaching the in depth spiritual psychology offered in the book entitled “A Course in Miracles.”
In order for each of us to be a powerful light, a pocket of power in the dark and pain filled world, we must be able to clearly hear and then follow the Loving Direction that is within us. Within these pages you will find an overview of the journey we all must take to remembrance of our spiritual birthright, as well as easy step by step practices that will enhance your ability to follow any discipline and pathway on which you already walk.
Sacred Steps becomes, then, a power tool for opening, balancing and empowering your energy centers and awakening the Holy Spirit, also called the kundilini that resides resting and waiting to flow powerfully through you. This is your program, designed over the millenniums, yet in the language of today. You and this program have evolved and met at just this perfect point in time and space.
May you follow these Sacred Steps to open you mind, fill it with light and speed your journey Home.
. . .Alpha to Omega
. . .From out of the vast stillness, the Essence of God, comes the outer expression of His creative Thought. There are as many different explanations of why and how this occurs as there are philosophies in the world to discuss this . . . and yet one theme weaves its way through them all.
Beyond time and space, beyond the idea of form lies the realm containing the thought, the desire and the passion of Life. Here the journey begins and here it will ultimately end. In this realm of timeless being Life begins its journey to awareness. Here mind decides and develops, desires and designs. Here the beginning of expression will ‘leave’ the mind to wander in projected dreams through waves of black velvet moving across vast darkness. First, here is quiet, rest and waiting. Here in this place in mind all IS mind and thought is still. . .
. . .The Universe in Sixty Minutes
. . .The most ancient of teachings, the Vedas, suggests Brahma breaths out and the universe forms, then breaths in and the universe disappears. And this continues eternally through Infinity. Let’s take a take a look at one full breath, or Yuga, as if it were the sixty minutes that show on the face of my watch. . . .
. . .The First Fifteen Minutes
The first division occurs with the outflowing of thought. The expression of God’s mind seems to divide once, twice and so on until the first seven expressions are formed. This is the Light of God, focused through the prism of limitation creating the Seven Great Rays. Now each Ray will represent certain aspects of creation:
The first three Rays:
1 - Will and Power - Life Force
2 - Love and Wisdom - Compassion
3 - Intelligence and Activity - Guidance
The last four Rays:
4 - Harmony and Beauty - will devolve into Art
5 - Concrete Knowledge - will devolve into the Sciences
6 - Devotion and Prayer - will devolve into Religions
7 - Ceremony and Ritual - will devolve into Politics/Economics
As these Rays shine down they begin to divide again and again
creating a kaleidoscoping and spinning chaos of energies and potentials that will
eventually evolve into manifestation in the world as we experience it.
But for now the first fifteen minutes are complete.. . .
. . .The Scale of Soul Evolvement
We come, we go. We stretch, we grow. And so our Souls begin, continue and eventually end the cycles of reincarnation undoing past karma. This concept of repeated lives comes to us through the mists of time and is not unique nor attached to any one religion or philosophical system of study. From ancient times to the present humanity has demonstrated a collective sense of a continuum of experiences that seem to spiral to greater and greater levels of understanding. These levels can in fact be charted and measured by one attuned to the electromagnetic field of energy that streams forth from an individual’s aura. . . .
. . Your Personal Power Centers - Your Chakras
. . .And every time you walk into a room you change the whole electromagnetic energy field by your simple presence.
Your mind is a mighty gyro spinning smoothly and creatively or spiraling in out-of-sinc rhythms of destruction. Your mental health is the barometer by which you can determine how creatively or destructively you are affecting yourself, others and the Universe. You are the only one who can bring your energy field back into balance.
Your aura is the complex spiraling electromagnetic field that spills over from your metabody, through your chakras, into your physical body and the world. As you learn to open your mind to peace it will direct the flow of energy through your Portals of Power into a controlled, harmonious and healing woven pattern.
This is your power, and this is your responsibility. . .
. . .Yantras
The MostAncient of Tools
You have probably heard of the term mantra, a Sanskrit word for a divine sound that is repeated in order to deepen the experience of meditation. The most well known mantra is the Sacred Sound “OM”. Few, however, have heard of the term yantra, which is a powerful geometric form drawn to represent Sacred Sounds and used in worship.
“OM” is the primordial and subtle vibration of the Universe. It is from the vibration of this Sacred Word that all sound comes, and all matter manifests. The yantra for the Sacred Sound “OM” is drawn as a perfect circle.. . .
. . .Awakening the Kundalini. . .
During a cleansing process the energy will shift within the Portals of Power and along the meridians of chi energy that extend from the shushumna throughout the rest of your body. This can be felt in surprising ways within your physical body that are not always comfortable. When the empowering of Life Force and opening of the Portals of Power is accompanied by your spiritual acceptance of the Call from the Spiritual Masters of the Hierarchy, the shifting of energy is profound, powerful and tumultuous. This is referred to as "awakening the Kundalini" and is not to be attempted without experienced help, training, knowledge and a heightened sense of responsibility.. . .
. . .Healing Hands - Sacred Touch ( a Reiki-type process)
. . .The following will instruct you on how to move your hands over your own or another’s body. Since the metabody extends a great distance beyond and around the physical body, you will be drawing within the subtle energy field of the metabody. You will be manifesting the powerful and creatively healing power of the yantras, The Sacred Symbols.
As you begin to work with Sacred Steps and Sacred Touch you will be opening, cleansing and balancing each of your Portals of Power. You will be enhancing the flow of life force along your inner subtle channels. All of this will happen within the metabody and will then flow into your physical body.. . .
