April New Moon and the Twin Pillars

I haven’t given any update on earth’s ascension because I haven’t sensed any major news to report until recently, this past New Moon. I receive information in visions and then must try to interpret these visions so please use discernment.

The past month leading up to the new moon has been stressful, but that has become the norm for many of us. It was only a few days before the new moon that I sensed a shift happening. Understanding this shift helped me to understand what has been going on these past months.

Light workers around the world have been absorbing as much of the incoming energies as possible and acting as “shock absorbers” for the earth’s ascension process. The more that light workers could absorb, the more gentle was earth’s ascension process. Just a few days before the new moon this all changed. It seemed as if for the first time these incoming energies were boring into the solid bedrock of human civilization and society. For the first time they were in solid and direct contact with all of humanity 3d and it was as if an irresistible force were meeting an unmovable object. The sensation was quite unpleasant. The pressure kept increasing and something had to give.

On Saturday afternoon it did give. Large portions of the 3d astral worlds broke out of gridlock and entered into the new crystalline 3d universe. It felt as if the astral floor was buckling and then crumpling up and moving upward into the future as a large crystal.

I’ll try saying this another way,  large portions of grid locked astral reality broke free and assumed their rightful places in the newly created multi-dimensional earth. This is still not coming out right so I will try it again…

Light workers have been told that they will be safe through the coming changes, that their souls will create a safe pathway for them through the future chaos. It is these energies that finally broke loose and created new futures for these individuals. Previously everything was in grid lock and no futures were able to be created except on a day to day basis. For the first time these creations have broken free into the future as light workers manipulate and create those events that will guide earth and humanity through the final phases of the ascension process. These created events are the “core” events that all others will form themselves around. They represent the collective creations of all light workers.

The dark forces crumbled into dust as these elements freed themselves and moved forward. This dust coalesced into a “collective darkness” that sought to save itself by moving upward through the astral planes to find some path that existed for it. The pressure of these collective dark forces resulted in several “attacks” by the dark upon the various bastions of Light. It was a critical moment and many might have sensed or felt or had to deal with some form of psychic “attack”. The short version is that there is now a lot less darkness in our world than there was two days ago! This collective gestalt of dark force energy was forced higher and higher into the astral planes until it was expelled and flushed out of the Unity Grid. It is not here anymore.

Those with higher dimensional capabilities will be more able to access those abilities from this time forward. This is significant progress and a great shift of power. While the full moon of Beltane will be very powerful as well, I still sense that major physical manifestations will not happen until after the following full moon of June 4. That is when nature’s cycle most fully supports the manifestation of astral forms into physical manifestation, the flowering cycle of nature. Up until then the leafing cycle will continue.

When things begin to physically manifest it will happen most rapidly because it has been held back too long, the force that is unleashed will create massive shifts in our collective realities. I sense no great natural disasters, only the awakening of the masses to how they have been deceived and controlled. This will have to do with the financial systems, the mass arrests, and the exposure of Those Powers That Be. These events will follow and form around the core events of those light workers that was talked about at the beginning of this post. Everything will unfold in an orderly manner for those that have had prior awareness of it. Those caught by surprise will struggle to comprehend what is going on. Remain in your hearts.

On a side note I recently made the connection between the “twin pillars” that has been talked about on some of these forums and why it seems that they have not appeared as promised.

They did appear many years ago and I have seen them in my mind’s eye, I have traveled through them. The egregore of the OTO and A:.A:. is a twin pillar of light and dark energies. Aleister Crowley brought these pillars to the earth and anchored them through his work, but no one has noticed. No one has the eyes to see this. I do not expect this to be accepted but it is offered to those with eyes to see and ears to hear.

Disclosure-System Failure

This is not the disclosure that many are looking forward to but it is perhaps even more important. This is disclosure about the collapse of earth’s old operating system and what it means. I receive information through visions and need to interpret these visions the best I can. Please use discernment.

But first a few words are needed about the new unity grid which is new earth’s fully functioning operating system. The new system is an alternating current system that has no positive or negative current flow. It has an alternating current flow.

There is no “top down hierarchal structure in the new operating system and all living things are on a level playing field. The new system deals only with individual energy generated through intense personal effort. It does not deal with the manipulation of mass consciousness. Those that put out effort will gain and those that do not put out effort will not gain.

As this year’s energies pour into the new operating system those still plugged into the old system will experience dramatic system failure as their world no longer operates the same way. This will continue until the earth’s ascension process is complete. The harder they try to do the old things, the more urgent and desperate they will become. It is the sheer number of people affected that needs to be brought into the open. If possible these people need to be helped into their heart centers where they can find some stability.

Earth’s old operating system is the holy kabbalah.It started out as a structure that allowed spiritual light from source to pour down through ten stations or sephiroth until the energy manifested as physical events. The basic idea was the formation of a spiritual hierarchy and each hierarchy transmuted the energy down into a lower energy where is could be of use by living physical things. Light from source was too pure to be of use to ordinary mortals.

This light descended through ranks of beings like archangels, angels, dominions, cherubim and so forth before reaching humans. This system was a top down/trickle down system and it was male/patriarchal meaning that it was only one way. Light flowed from the top down and that was it. It was direct current with spirit as positive and earth as negative. The way back to source was long, arduous and difficult. It was called the path of the serpent.

This operating system was created for good intent but it was hacked like modern computers are hacked. Beings of evil intent used this same system in reverse. Instead of light they used the lowest common denominator energy of the human collective and moved it “upward” to single individuals for self-empowerment. They found a way to run this system in reverse and learned how to use it to control and manipulate humanity. That which began as good turned into evil.

One must realize that this is normal. In every age anew operating system is established and it works well for a while and then is compromised and turned to evil purposes by the end of an age. That is why each age requires a new operating system to return balance and justice to the world.

Those highly spiritual beings tried to fight the evil ones by pouring more spiritual energy through the operating system but that only increased the flow of evil energy as well since the evil energy was “locked”in place with the good energy. The operating system was created to keep these energies balanced. This is how the struggle of good against evil stands today with no side having the ability to win. They are locked in a stalemate.

That is until now. Now the new unity grid has broken the old system and it has completely collapsed. It is a dead system and no longer carries energy, no longer manifests things.

The entire Western world has been influenced by the Holy Kabbalah and its collapse will affect them all. The Jewish religion, the Islam religion and Christianity along with most of the western mystery traditions such as Free Masonry will be severely affected. Spiritual and well-intended believers will be affected as well as those evil doers intent on enslaving the entire world. The system has become obsolete.

Those that follow the teachings or any of these religions will find that the teachings no longer have the power to bring change that they once did. The universe no longer supports those doctrines and beliefs.

In particular, the Holy Kabbalah was a top down system meaning that those at the top, those with the highest mental and spiritual capacities would be given power over those that were not as smart. The energy came down from the higher energy centers and the power lay in those higher centers.

This is no longer the case. The power now lies in the earth itself. It streams out of the ground into our feet and upwards through our crown chakra back to the light as an alternating current. The point of power is in the moment, in the present, in acting at the physical level. Those that put forth effort are now empowered.

The point of awareness and peace is at the heart level and life is much more emotional. No salvation can come through logic and reasoning. Those higher centers must now serve the heart and not the heart serving the higher centers. IN fact the higher centers now have no power at all unless they are integrated into the physical reality.

Religious fanaticism or religious head tripping has now become a very dangerous thing to do and will not lead to success. It is not supported by the new operating system. Only by going through the heart will these things be successful. The danger is the rise in religious fanaticism by those increasingly desperate to manifest things in their lives.

The solution is simple but extremely difficult.Reach out to embrace each other in love, heart love, and keep one’s mouth shut!Talking of religion will only make things worse. IT is an intellectual exercise.

Please realize that many good and innocent believers will be affected but will also be able to find the solution to their distress by turning to their own heart centers. If possible we can reach out to them in love and show them how it is done.

Spring Equinox Message 2012- Crossing The Rainbow Bridge and Cutting The Umbilical Cord.

So much is happening and there is so much love and joy and light in our world today! It has taken me awhile to wrap my own mind around some of these things as they are so all encompassing. I receive information in visions so I need to interpret those visions. This is much more different than channeling words from some entity. Yet, this is my way and this is my message for humanity spring 2012.

2011 was a great year and saw the final activation of the new Unity Grid section by section beginning a year ago last spring and starting from 8^th density working its way downward. 4^th Density earth ascended in August of last year and earth ascended as a 3D crystalline light powered new earth at Thanksgiving followed quickly by the ascension of 2^nd and 1^st density in December. This completed the actual “birth” of the “new” multi-dimensional earth and astounded all life in the universe! 1^st and 2^nd density remain attached to the “New Earth” as the placenta or after birth that still nourishes the new fetus until it can exist directly on the nourishment of light itself. At that point in December of this year the umbilical cord will finally be cut and the birth process complete.

This was the birth of the first ever multi-dimensional living and organic planet that extended from 1^st density through 8^th density. Earth and its organic life forms existed as complete and self-sustaining through the energy dynamics of the new Unity Grid. Not only did organic life exist as 3d crystalline light powered but also throughout time as 4d, in multiple timelines as 5d, as different dimensional realities as 6d, and as its own miniature universe as 7d. This new “Earth” was all created at 8d through the Unity Grid using neighboring universes as power sources.

Imagine the shock and surprise! An entire miniature universe of organic life! Not endless reaches of space filled with empty stars and lifeless space, but an entire universe of organic life! Infinite explorations of infinite complexity. This “New Earth” was the “New Game” and set the standard for the rest of the universe to follow.

It immediately came under the highest levels of protection at the universal level, not at the lower galactic level, and for the first time life was allowed to create its own way unhindered. Restrictions were removed. Single celled amoeba began to create the new earth, single blades of grass began to create the new earth, the birds and all other living things began to create this massive collective dream of a new crystalline powered 3d earth that operated under new rules with new ways of manifesting.

The common people began to create, create food, shelter, homes and jobs for their families and loved ones. Communities began to reach out with helping hands as hearts began to open at all levels of experience.

In the meantime many of those individuals 4^th density and higher had other ideas and began to create schemes, to continue creating in the old fear based ways. These became and are still becoming increasingly in conflict with this “New Earth”. They had their own ideas of what ascension was and what it was not. It still hadn’t happened yet. The powers that be were still in control, the Galactic Federation still hadn’t saved us from the Orions and Armageddon still had not come which prevented Jesus to come and save us as well.

But in an increasingly volatile world life just plodded along doing the best it could, creating itself anew each day and walking this mine field of toxic thought. We owe today’s world to the dreaming of the lower life forms and we should be ashamed at our own refusal to create new life, be ashamed at our inability to break free from the mental and emotional conditioning that now only holds us through habit. We do not create because we have become too passive to create.

This brings us to 2012 and this coming year. At the beginning of 2012 new earth aligned for the first time with the galactic center and received an inpouring of light and vitality. These were augmented by solar flares and many flu like symptoms as life struggled to find its way in the creation process. Those space brothers and sisters of this and neighboring galaxies were told in no uncertain terms to “back off”. This new “sacred life” was no place for petty galactic politics and alien agendas. The Unity Grid began to purge itself of negative and “hostile” life forms. While Gaia allowed everyone to ascend, those bent on destruction of life will be eliminated. We saw this as nothing happening, but in reality much was happening, much was being prevented from happening.

Now at the spring equinox the new earth aligns for the first time with the Universal Center, that great center around which all galaxies within our universe spin. The energies of the Universal center are activating the “Rainbow Bridge” and will continue this process throughout the rest of the year level by level from the top downward.

“The Rainbow Bridge” is what allows life and awareness to “cross over” to being fully sustained by light. Crossing the “Rainbow Bridge” is what most think of as “Ascension”. All life forms have already ascended but don’t realize it yet. Many remain trapped in the creation of “old thought”. As these life forms cross the “Rainbow Bridge” they will become free of the placenta, of the after birth of 1^st and 2^nd density reality. Life will no longer be sustained through chemical digestive processes but nourished entirely through light. 1^st and 2^nd density will drop away leaving only the higher densities to live in and experience.

It is the action of the solar flares that are softening the DNA patterns and gradually releasing each awareness from its 1^st and 2^nd density prison. As the solar flares continue this process of disentangling from 1^st and 2^nd density will continue as well until it concludes in December of this year as foretold and prophesied.

The first to cross the “Rainbow Bridge” will be those 8^th density light workers. This is already beginning to happen and “earth keeper” councils are forming to guide “New Earth” with the protection and support of the highest universal powers. “New Earth” is sacred and its continued advancement is of the utmost importance.

This spring will see 7^th, 6^th and 5^th density life forms cross over the Rainbow Bridge with 4^th density crossing in August and 3^rd density in November. This should follow last year’s patterns of activations. But these will be final activations and the reality of what is happening will not be able to be hidden or over looked. Those that pass over through physical death will still remain visible and available to loved ones. There will be an increase in “psychic” phenomenon that will baffle science.

It is these phenomena that will be the trigger for the greatest social change. It will be seen and experienced that life and awareness do indeed exist independently of physical life. This will revolutionize our entire world and we finally get our priorities in line and join our “lower brother and sister” life forms in creating the earth experiences that we desire.

Bright blessings,

Some Things That Don’t Make Sense

There are a few things that smell a little fishy and I would like to bring them into the clear light of day. These are things where my own personal experience does not jibe with the politically correct version that is so commonly accepted. Please bear with me in this, I have no particular adjenda. I’m simply pointing out some things that seem odd to me.

First I will summarize and say that I personally believe planet A has ascended to 8^th density and planet B has ascended as well into a beautiful crystalline light powered 3d world that belongs to all those life forms 7^th density and below that are compatible with her new energy grid. This little summary has nothing to do with what smells fishy but sets the stage a bit.

To paraphrase, I was recently told that I was perceived astrally as an entity that existed in fourth density just above 3^rd density. I now realize the truth of this and wonder why it is? When at peace and not rising up or down the levels, why does my soul want to rest at this “solar plexus” level? This is an interesting question that I don’t have the answers for.

But it brings up an even more interesting point. It seems the so called reptilians are also perceived as occupying this level. So are they lower level fourth density or do their souls simply hover at lower level fourth density like mine does when at rest?

Now over the past twenty years I have had numerous astral “encounter” (a nice way of saying conflicts) with serpent like creatures over the years and their ability to be sneaky has been very unsettling to me to say the least. I’ve also felt that they are brothers and sisters in some way. I know that part of me is reptilian because I have fought, accepted and integrated it. But I remain strongly pro-human and pro-earth life. It is only recently that I have had encounters with non-reptilian space brothers and sisters.

I sense these serpent like creatures to be those of the dinosaur race that ascended off the earth at the end of the dinosaur age. They are more closely related to us than one might think. Gaia seems to accept them a bit more than she does some other alien life forms. Perhaps because they have already been here for a long time.

Now here is one of those “fishy” things. It has been maintained that the reptilians are “fear” based and draw their vitality and power from the “fear” that they generate. My own experience at the lower levels does not confirm this at all. My own experience has proven that the lowest energy is not “fear” at all but is instead “sexual love”. The energy of fear is that energy immediately above that of sexual love energy.

The fear energy is valid and it is experienced but it is not the lowest energy, not the one that gives life and power.

The implication is staggering. The secret teaching of the OTO is that sperm and ovum energy or sexual energy is the same as the energy of spiritual light but on an octave above and beyond it. It is “organic light”. Spiritual light, clear light, evolved through a quantum leap into sexual energy, male and female. This is the profound teaching of the OTO and other sexually oriented magical teachings. (I am both a former OTO member and have the now outlawed book, “OTO, Rituals and Sex Magick” by Peter Konig.) One may include other teachers from other paths such as Mantak Chia and his “Healing Tao” series.

The message seems clear, sexuality is sacred, sacred to life and sacred to God/dess. It appears to be the next evolution, the one beyond “light” and Gaia, mother earth’s ascension is an organic one, one that occurs through activation of the DNA. Her ascension is through the polarity of male and female.

It also seems that our reptilian space brothers and sisters know this while those of the Galactic federation do not or at least are not talking about it. Why?

And there is this hierarchy thing, why is sixth density better than fifth or fourth or even third? Does being at a higher density make one a more evolved person? Why do some souls hang up there in fifth density space while mine wants to hover around lower 4^th density unless it is required somewhere else? I suspect it has something to do with having a female soul or having a male soul. Does that mean the reptilians have female souls?

These are just a few questions that come to mind. I don’t have any answers, at least none that I wish to say aloud. But I don’t think we are being told everything and that bothers me a bit.

Opening Portals For Healing and Prosperity

The following instruction is how to open a portal with a group of four or more people. I have done this with several groups with similar results. I know it to be highly effective and very powerful. One group that was sitting outside formed a portal that surrounded us so powerfully that it would not let any wind through.

Group energy work is the strongest type of work that anyone can do and is a must in the new world. But first a word about group work in general. There are two types of people, those with female souls and those with male souls. Their physical bodies may be of either sex.

The defining characteristic of the male soul is its hard wired inability to integrate the shadow self. These people are extremes of light or dark and the best of friends and the worst of enemies. They experience the world in black and white, experiencing both their greatest hopes and their greatest fears as physical experiences.

The defining characteristic of the female soul is the ability to integrate the shadow aspect. They experience life in a bitter-sweet manner and have the ability to expel negative and toxic emotional energy from their bodies through some form of a crown chakra meditation.

The male soul has a vertical progression and the female soul has a horizontal progression. In the ancient mystery schools the merging of the male and female soul was signified as the rosy cross, a cross with a rose at the heart center.

Heart center meditations and workings are universal and both types of souls can participate in them. In major world religions uniting at the heart center was the standard “outer” teaching. It is at the heart center that all souls can unite in love and harmony. But a heart center meditation can not open a portal.

Portals can only be opened by female souls or earth souls linking at all chakra levels. This was the “inner teaching”. If a person can do the OAK energy ball meditation and release negative and toxic energies they can open portals.

It takes at least four people who have the ability to do the OAK energy ball meditation. At least one of them must have successfully completed it. They will be the one to monitor the others and sense and direct the energy as needed. Group work is similar to individual work with the energy ball but the effects are magnified exponentially.

The first stage is to clear everyone of negative and toxic energies and begin the linking up process.

Everyone sits comfortably in a circle with feet on the floor and hands on their laps or chair arms. Breath deeply a few times and relax letting go of the worries and cares of the world.

Have everyone mentally reach up into the light and bring it down to form a small energy ball about four inches above their heads. Visualize it, rotate it to make it more stable and then help the other group members by visualizing these balls of energy over their heads as well. Have all group members help all other group members. Then visualize all of these energy balls merging together as one large energy ball in the center of the circle. Feel the energy stablilize and fill the entire group. If there is negative energy or toxic energy raise the energy ball up into the light to release the toxic energy.

Then have each group member bring down more light and visualize a ball of energy in the middle of their head. Have them rotate it and stabilize it. Then have each member help the others by visualizing it for them as well. The group leader must be able to sense when this is achieved. Then this ball of energy is merged into the middle of the group. At this point one can vividly sense two separate types of energy, one from each level. Both of these levels then need to be merged into one harmonious mass of energy that fills the group.

Continue this process for the third eye center, the throat chakra center, the heart chakra, the solar plexus, the spleen chakra, the root chakra, the chakra where the feet touch the ground and finally bring the energy ball and light down into the center of the earth. Visualize light pouring down into the earth and filling it, filling it, until it is completely filled and keep pouring light into the earth until earth energy starts coming back up out of the earth and keep pouring light into the earth until the earth energy rises up through the center of the group and goes into the light. At this point there is a column of light in the center of the circle and all members are linked at all chakra levels and all levels have merged to become one harmonious energy. This is the open portal and you can sense the opening and the power.

Now have each one take turns and ask for healing for themselves or loved ones and the entire group sends the healing thoughts into the open portal. Then going around one more time each group member asks for something in the way of prosperity and the entire group sends this request into the portal.

Finally the group leader asks everyone to connect to their higher selves for guidance and inspiration and allows everyone to come back to normal waking consciousness as they will. This phase linked working is very powerful and creates permanent links between the group members. There are many variations of this and one can be directed by their own inner knowing on how to proceed.

There is no harm in making this knowledge available because those with the wrong type of souls can not make use of it and those with the right type of souls desperately need it in these troubled times. It should be shared freely and without restraint.

On the evening of 9/11/11, the day before true Samhain, the first complete lunar cycle after the fall equinox, the day when the veil between the worlds was the thinnest, a group of four of us performed such a portal opening. We then visualized and “lifted” Gaia, mother earth, through the portal and pushed her far out into the light, to Source. The spiritual aspect of Gaia had ascended to 8th density. We then solidified and grounded this working by sending as much pure black earth energy as possible up to her. As the energy wave came back to us we were enveloped in a golden energy and our souls seemed to merge into one human soul in the center of Gaia. Somehow the four of us had become the demarcation line, the protective barrier between the moon and the new earth. We four had become her protectors and guardians.

This was before the 11/11/11 star gate day and was why nothing seemingly happened. We beat everyone else to the punch by getting there quicker and raising her higher, to 8th density.

Then just before Thanksgiving Day we met again to finish the work.  Just before Thanksgiving Day, just before the New Moon when we met as a group that second time we invited all past present and future Earth Guardians, protectors, members of that distinguished Order that used both the black and the white as its insignia, our brothers and sisters, to  assist us in this sacred mission and bring it to closure. We were the souls entrusted to do this at the beginning of the great experiment and it was our right and duty to see it through to the end. This meant all of us!

In amazement we felt the portal fill with these brothers and sisters as they stood silently beside us, and when released I could sense them flying into all corners of the earth to do their work. Their wings were black and white, just like ours were.Again we opened the portal and sent pure black earth energy up into the light and into the 8th density spiritual Gaia. Then we once more attempted to raise our own physical Gaia, physical mother earth through the portal and into the light. We could only get her halfway through and held her there for as long as we could. The next day the powerful wave of energy that was unleashed carried her through the rest of the way. Physical earth, Gaia, had finally ascended with all living things on her and withn her.

This ascension far exceeded all expectations and ever since then planet B, physical Gaia, mother earth has been taken for planet A, the spiritual one, the one existing on the moon as 8th density. Everyone is waiting for planet B, New Physical Gaia, to ascend to higher than her new permanent location as a 3d crystalline light powered physical earth. They are not spiritual enough to percieve her “Higher” form at 8th density.

Again, these things happened through the use of opening a portal such as described above. It is highly encouraged that those who have the ability to work with portals do so. It will bring even more light into our new mother Gaia. Others can become her protectors and guardians as well.

Sons of God and Daughters of Man

The misinformation about the ascension keeps piling up and I’m hoping to clarify a few things. The biblical phrase “Sons of God and daughters of man” means something very important to us today at this time. Humanity and all of life is divided into two roughly equal groups.

The group termed the “Sons of God” represent those life forms with “male” souls. These are souls that split the light and the dark and can not mix them. They are the ones that are “good friends, but bad enemies”. They are the fiercely religious or spiritual ones that can do inexpressible evil in the name of “good”. They are so “Light” and “Love” that they have no recognition at all of the darkness that lies within themselves. They refuse to go there. Numerous atrocities have been done by the church over the centuries by these “spiritual” souls.

These “Male” souls are hard wired this way and they can not integrate or embrace their own shadow aspect. The closest that they can get to this achievement is through atavistic resurgence or “possession” by unconscious aspects of their own being. These “Sons of God” were the angels that came down and mixed with the “daughters of Man”. These were the original space brothers.

But many cycles have passed since then and things are not that simple any more. Male souls can have male physical bodies or even female physical bodies. The characteristic that marks them is the inability to integrate their own shadow. They also see great highs and lows in life in a way that might seem manic/depressive.

I have four children and two of them have “Male” souls and two of them have “Female” souls,  and I love them all equally. There is no right or wrong in this process. Indeed, we will see that with each great cycle such as we are now experiencing our souls exchange gender. Male souls will become female souls and female souls will become males souls.

The “Daughters of Man” are of the physical earth and able to integrate their own shadow into their light self in true unity. These souls see the bitter-sweet quality of life and love both. It is the intensity and the depth of living this bitter-sweetness that makes life worth while. Originally these were the females but now that so many cycles have passed female souls may have female bodies and they may have male bodies as well.

The things that remain are their ability to integrate the personal shadow with acceptance and love and the ability to unify all of their aspects into one being.

Our prisons are filled with “male” souls because they are a bit unstable compared to the “female” souls which are more emotional but stronger and more together on the inner levels.

What does this have to do with ascension? Well, the unity grid is now activating our shadow aspects and depending upon whether you are a “Male” soul or a “Female” soul, you will be experiencing entirely different things.

The “Male” soul will be the typical lightworker that has absolutely nothing to do with healing the darker mental and emotional wounds that we all carry. They simply will not go there. They are going into the “Light” and they will apply themselves to this in a fantastic degree. They will send out Love and Light everywhere. But they will not touch the darkness within their own souls even though that is being activated now as well. These souls will physically experience their greatest hopes and greatest fears and hopefully learn from them and become more wise. They have the rollercoaster ride of ups and downs. These are the ones that will benefit the most from the “heart” meditations.

The “Female” soul will be the typical lightworker that everyday touches some of the darkness within themselves and others, loves, heals, cherishes and embraces it as part of the bitter-sweetness of human life. They are the “human” ones and the ones that my own messages are mostly meant for.

It occurred to me that “Male” souls will not gain much benefit from the OAK energy ball mediation because they can not integrate the shadow. It won’t work correctly for them. I apologize for this misunderstanding. It will only work for the “Female” souls like I personally am. The ones that can cast off this toxic and negative repressed energy and by becoming aware of it, accept it and release it so that it does not need to manifest in physical life.

We do not need to “act out” these negative energies but by becoming aware of them become aware of our own capacity for evil and violence. These are the people that serve “Life”.

In short, “Male” souls serve “Light” or flip over to the dark side completely and serve “Dark”. They can not be both and can not tolerate both. The “Female” soul serves “Life” and is comfortable with both the Light and Dark aspects within themselves.

This is Gaia’s ascension, Mother Earth’s ascension, and it will benefit those that serve “Life” the most. It will be more difficult for those that serve “Light”.

To say this even one more way, those that serve “Light”, those that have been so empowered for such a long time as our spiritual hierarchy are being “Cast out of the Garden of Eden” where they have lived for such a long time and made to toil in the “new physical” world by the sweat of their brows.

Those lowly ones that serve “Live” are now for the first time being led into the “Garden of Eden” and fully empowered as co-creators in this new world. “The last shall become first and the first shall become last”.

At the end of this new great cycle there will be a new earth once more and once more those that serve the old will be cast out of the garden and those serving the new will be co-creators. This is a balancing of energies, a balancing of the universe, a balancing of souls. This is the normal method of progression and way things are.

In this ascension of Gaia you may be a “Male” soul or a “Female” soul. You may experience the “Garden of Eden” for the first time or you may by “leaving it”. Two of my own children are entering this new garden and two are leaving it and all are “Ascended souls”. One needs to get away from the concept that one needs to be 5^th density or higher to ascend. 3^rd degree life forms on Gaia will find their way into this garden if they are female souls and will find their way out of it if they are male souls.

Using the metaphor of the “Chronicles of Amber” by Roger Zelazney, those that serve “Life” will find themselves on the Amber side, the new earth side  of the demarcation line while those that serve “Light” will find themselves on the “Courts of Chaos” side, they will find themselves on the lunar side of the demarcation line.

Those invested in the planet A and planet B scenarios will find that Planet A, the new Amber is for those “Female” souls and is the new garden of Eden. Planet B/the moon is for those “Male” souls what will for the first time be expelled from the garden and made to toil for the development of their souls. This is an exchange that takes place every great cycle. One soul gets to rest while the other gets to labor. If your soul has been laboring in the great experiment you will get to rest. Those that have been resting will have their chance/turn to labor.

I share this because two days ago an enormous yin/yang symbol appeared in the astral skies and signified the true end of this age is bearing down upon us. By now only those of the highest densities remain to be correctly placed within the new unity grid. There is so much confusion and misplaced expectations.

For those interested in surfing the wave of ascension energies and getting the most possible out of them there remains a small window of opportunity. I’ve already posted that while the incoming energies are becoming stronger their catalytic effect upon us has crested and is getting weaker. With this new moon this weekend those physical events and life circumstances will have crystalized around us. There will be no more grace allotted to the changing of our life’s circumstances.

The physical events in our lives will from that point proceed according to the new rules of the new unity grid. We will be living the life that we have created for ourselves.

The small window of grace extends from the new moon until the full moon, roughly two weeks. During this time one can “go toward the Light” through crown chakra meditations and try to eliminate any left over “negative or toxic energy” by giving it up to a higher power. Please be aware that “Heart” meditations do not allow the giving up of this negative energy. Only the crown chakra meditations allow this.

My OAK energy ball meditation posted in these forums will work for this or any other crown chakra meditation. After the full moon all levels will be crystalized and sealed. There will be no more “riding the wave of ascension energies”. The energies will continue to grow stronger but we will have become transparent to them.

Development and progress from that point on will be purely the result of “personal effort” and according to the rules of the unity grid.

I mention this because there is much confusion in “go to the earth and ground” and “go into the Light”. There is no wrong thing to be doing, but in the immediate past few weeks it has been beneficial to anchor to the earth as much as possible for physical healing and personal advancement. With the new moon that opportunity will close and only the period to the coming full moon remains and that remains an opportunity for the spirit and the soul to be blessed and bathe in the spiritual energies of grace before things crystalize and seal into place.

for those interested
bright blessings,

OAK Energy Ball Meditation

Vital life energies need to circulate freely within both the physical and non-physical body before they can become integrated and function as one complete unit. These energies flow through natural circuitry within the body. This circuitry is often blocked with repressed emotional energy that is trapped within the physical body and stored there.

There are many ways to release these pockets of trapped and repressed emotional energy. Rieki or massage can do it and so can yoga or other types of physical exercise. A more gentle approach is through some type of meditation that safely brings this energy into awareness. Freud’s method of free association does this. Dianetics Book One processing does this in an even more effective manner. The OAK Energy Ball Meditation does this even more effectively.

When these circuits are fully open a form of alternating bio-electrical energy is allowed to pass through that is responsible for most psychic phenomenon and conscious awareness experiences. When the current is allowed to flow only one way as in direct current these psychic phenomena are not likely to occur.

Radio and Television are examples of modern applications using alternating current. The alternating current or sinus rhythm is pervasive within the human body. This includes brain waves, nerve energy and heart beat. It is the lower energies of fear, pain, sexual energy and anger that block these pathways and accumulate to dangerous quantities within the physical body.

It is ironic that the development of these same energies in a free flowing and healthy state bring the most power to manifest things in life. They are the energies people regard as charismatic. The development of charisma and personal magnetism depends upon the generation and accumulation of these energies and their healthy use. Training in the martial arts is an example of a method of generating and developing these energies.
The development and accumulation of physical or sexual energies is not safe until the psyche has been purged of all past repressions and “buried” traumas that form black pockets of negative energy within the body. Development of lower energies tend to activate these pockets of “black” repressed energy sometimes resulting in “knee jerk” behavior where we do and say things impulsively without even knowing we are doing or saying them. This happens when the repressed and trapped emotional energy breaks free and travels through the nervous system.
In the medical profession this is called “psychotic” behavior and is not what we want to be doing! Instead we purge these repressed energies out of our system one at a time. The safest way of doing this is working from the “top” downward.
We do this by generating “mental” or “spiritual” energy and forcing increased bio-electrical energy flow within our bodies. The OAK process is in my opinion safe enough for anyone to use. As a precaution, though, people in poor physical, mental, or emotional health should not follow any of these procedures without their doctor’s consent. I am not a doctor. The following expresses my opinion about what is happening and why it happens.
I must stress the incredible power of this method. In a matter of days we gain an increasing number of “insights” into our personal affairs. At first these will be “insights” into our personal philosophy of life as our mental outlook begins to clarify and complete itself. This happens through working with mental energies.
When our belief system is complete enough our awareness will transfer itself to the mental level permanently. From this mental level we will be able to objectively deal with the “repressed” emotional pain and trauma from the past. Moving into the mental level makes working with past emotional trauma much safer.
Our ego will be centered at the mental level where it is safe and in control. This is very important because releasing this “black” energy into awareness is very traumatic. As I went through this process I was seeing a psychologist as a precaution to ensure I was in no danger of “losing it”.
The gains and personal insights I was making at that time were so remarkable my psychologist described my personality as “fluid”! At the same time my ego was very strong and plastic and in no danger of being fragmented in any way.
Anyone can experience the same rapid personal growth and may at times be alarmed. Most of the time we will be joyous at the chance to rid ourselves of these “ghosts” from the past that prevent us from living the type of life we really want. THIS IS THE REAL THING!
This meditation purifies both the physical body and psyche so it can handle the more powerful and intense sexual and physical energies. It also opens one up to the lunar and solar cycles whereby monthly and seasonal energies are added to your own personal efforts and personal development is greatly accelerated.

MEDITATION EXERCISE
This exercise should be done at least once a day and if possible twice a day. The entire exercise lasts only about ten minutes but its effects are felt throughout the day and the night in spontaneous “insights”, lucid dreaming, and a marked increase in psychic abilities in general.

STEP ONE
Seat yourself comfortably with your spine straight and your hands resting comfortably on your lap.
Take a few deep breaths to relax and get into the right frame of mind. Close your eyes and visualize a ball of energy about four inches above your head. Keep trying until you can visualize this ball of energy easily and vividly.
The action of visualizing a ball of energy “outside” of the body is a very complex action. It involves a high degree of abstract thought and is at first very difficult. It requires a lot of energy in the head area as well as the ability to focus this energy.
The most important suggestion here is that practice makes perfect. A headache may result from this exercise if a person is not used to abstract thought of any kind. This is not serious unless it persists. A few days of not doing the exercise should correct the problem.
This exercise causes increased blood flow and oxygen to the brain and to the pituitary and pineal glands stimulating them to increased activity.
The idea of step one is to gradually strengthen these glands and increase their hormone activity. They are the master glands of the body and control other endocrine gland activity. This is the first step in increased health benefits.
Visualizing the energy ball as a rotating ball of energy helps to stabilize the visualization. Rather than clockwise or counter clockwise I always felt better rolling it like a snowball with the energy going up the back and down the front. This is similar to the way kundalini energy goes up the spine and then flows down the front of the body.

After visualizing a stable rotating ball of energy about four inches above your head, begin to visualize a second ball of energy surrounding the pineal gland in the center of the brain. This will directly stimulate the pineal gland. Simply forget about the first ball of energy and let it be. Turn your focus on creating a ball of energy right in the center of the brain.

Do the same thing as before mentally rotating it to help the energy stabilize. You may feel a strange sensation in your head as you are doing this. Increased blood flow is going to your brain. When this ball of energy is stabilized go back to the first ball of energy that is above your head and refresh it.

At first it will be difficult to visualize two energy balls at the same time. Rapidly switch awareness from one to the other until both are visualized at the same time. Continue this until both energy balls can be visualized quickly and easily. Each ball of energy is created out of a different type of energy. Take your time and make certain you are doing the meditation correctly.

STEP TWO

With both energy balls clearly visualized try to mentally force them together into one big energy ball. At first they will resist going together because the energy is not “synchronized”. It will seem like trying to push two balloons together. You will sense the resistance. Be persistent and keep trying until both energy balls merge together into one larger energy ball.

When the energy balls do finally merge together into one big energy ball there will be a definite shift of awareness that can be felt. The center of the big energy ball will have shifted toward the back of the head and it will feel as if half of it is protruding from the top and back of the head. Before this both balls were centered on and over the middle of the head.

This will be accompanied by an intense sensation of light and energy as illumination. Some have described the sensation as getting a buzz or getting high. There will be no mistaking when the two types of energy fuse together. It is a very powerful experience. Some people have been frightened by the experience and refused to continue further with the meditation.

Now it will feel like a basketball sized energy ball is half in your head and half outside the back of your head. This feeling will be very pronounced and definite.

Two types of energy are now synchronized together and working as “one” energy. Try to maintain this “locked together” visualization as long as possible. “Spiritual” energy is directing and fusing with pineal gland energy and stimulating all of the endocrine glands in a beneficial way. The pineal gland is the master gland of the body and will begin to work with the spiritual energy and distribute it throughout the physical body.

This begins the process of physical rejuvenation and increased health with all of the glands “synchronized” and working together. This is your direct connection to “Cosmic Energy”.

STEP THREE

After successfully visualizing the big energy ball, visualize a second energy ball centered directly behind the eyebrows where the pituitary gland or “third eye” is located. Forget about the big energy ball and focus on the new energy ball rotating it as before until it is stable.

When this is clearly visualized try to merge the two energy balls together. As before they will resist at first but when they do merge there will be a definite shift of awareness toward the center of the head. The combined energy ball will be much larger and fit around the head like a fishbowl. The sensation will not be as strong as the first time but you will be able to feel the separate energies fuse into one single energy.

A distinct awareness of a very large energy ball that extends around the head will result. With this experience will come the absolute certainty that the pituitary and pineal glands are “phase locked” together with the third “spiritual” energy. This is the formation of a resonant circuit within the brain itself! It will try to maintain itself through the day. This is the reason for the incredible gains of this method. After a few successful attempts this will be a permanent change.

The “phase locked” condition also causes the “master glands” to work together more closely than ever before. This alters the operation of the endocrine glands in a more harmonious way causing subtle changes throughout the entire body and releasing trapped “black” energy.

A few successful attempts will result in a permanent change with all three types of energy “phase locked” together. At first it was hard to merge them. Now it will be hard to separate them from each other.

STEP FOUR

This step completes the construction of the basic “energy ball” used in the remaining steps. After visualizing the energy ball as described in the first four steps you have integrated the energy of the crown chakra and third eye chakra. These have formed a large ball of energy that is surrounding the entire head. Now visualize a second energy ball located on the thyroid glands in the center of the throat.

Spin the energy ball to help stabilize it. As before merge this second energy ball with the large one to create an even larger energy ball. This is more difficult than the earlier steps because of the sheer size of the visualization. The finished ball extends above the head a little and includes the throat area. The “phase locking” sensation may be more difficult to sense. Keep working at it until you sense all of the energies blending together. This may even seem like a fog of energy that surrounds you.
After the ability is gained to easily create this large “phase locked” energy ball there are several ways to strengthen it. My choice is to mentally rotate it from the top of the head forward like a ball rolling in front of me. This motion helps to stabilize and strengthen it.
At this point you have an energy ball made up of four different energies that have “synchronized” together as harmonics or octaves of each other. They are locked together in a “phase locked” circuit that resists change and seeks to maintain itself. Your point of awareness should be able to easily move anywhere within this ball moving from one type of energy to another.
When this point is reached there will be a permanent change taking place in your awareness. These energies will begin to bleed through into each other and open blocked energy pathways.
Your entire day will be filled with one “insight” after another in a way that is truly incredible. Your mental processes are going through a complete overhaul as you fine tune and perfect your personal belief system.
Illuminations will fill in the missing pieces for you and you will gain many useful understandings.

This “locking” together of these energies is a wonderful thing and will begin the process of regeneration within your physical body. Parts of your psyche will begin to fit together as never before.

STEP FIVE

After you have perfected the basic energy ball it is time to start working with it in a deliberate and conscious manner. Your awareness can reside in this energy ball. In a way this energy ball is an astral vehicle for your awareness. We are going to use it to open the blocked energy pathways within the body.
This energy ball is your “safe” area where you can safely come to terms with “buried” and repressed emotional baggage and trapped “black” energy. In this safe area you bring “black” energy under conscious control. You begin by working from the top downward one layer at a time.
After forming the energy ball try to raise it as high into the spiritual light as you can. From this point on always attempt this contact with the “light” because it is your energy source. Feel your mind and awareness rise as if it is in an elevator as you raise the energy ball into the light. Move the energy ball up and down and feel your awareness move up and down with it. Get used to the feeling of your awareness rising and lowering through these different energy levels.
Next try forcing the energy ball down the spine. Because the rest of the body is not “synchronized” there will be resistance and it will not want to go very far. Make this attempt at least three times before quitting. After the third try raise the ball as high as it will go toward your “energy source”. Your energy ball will have accumulated “dark” energy and need to be purified in the light.
As the energy ball comes in contact with repressed “black” energy it grabs the black energy like a magnet. This black energy will cling to the energy ball. Only moving the energy ball back up into the light will release the black energy.
This is important because your downward efforts have loosened quite a bit of “black” energy and brought it to your awareness in a shocking manner. The spiritual or light energy helps to dissolve and neutralize the “black” energy keeping you soundly in control of those waves of emotion that will begin to wash over you later during the day.
This simple practice will release incredible amounts of trapped emotional energy allowing it to be used for other purposes. It is possible to intensify the experience by taking a deep breath and holding it while both raising the ball and forcing it downward against the resistance. Try it first without holding your breath. When you have done as much as you can move to this next step. Take your time. This may take several sessions. You are releasing toxins from the body and turning them over to your higher power.
The method I used was to inhale, hold my breath and mentally push the energy ball downward. Then I would exhale and inhale and exhale normally before repeating. This practice of holding the breath as long as comfortable is extremely powerful because it forces oxygen into the blood and then into the brain. It can easily cause dizziness and should only be used with caution by those in excellent health.
Even if done only once a day this exercise will release “trapped” emotional energy throughout the entire day as spontaneous waves that suddenly wash over you. As a result you will be very preoccupied with your personal growth and healing process. It will be a highly disruptive period but a very productive one.
As I was working through some of my “black” energy I felt what I was doing was the most important thing I had ever done in my life. I was freeing myself from past karma that had held me back my entire life. It was also the most exciting thing I had ever done and was very intense. I could feel the power flowing through me!
Early Christians called this type of experience taking away your sins or freeing yourself from your sins. They had their own method of releasing this trapped emotional energy.

STEP SIX

By the time you are able to move the energy ball down into the solar plexus area you will notice something very disturbing. The energy ball will go down quite easily but will tend to get “stuck” when you try to raise it back up! Some people have noticed this at the throat chakra. This indicates a deeply rooted emotional trauma that is not easily released. It is like a time bomb of toxic energy inside us waiting to go off. The best thing to do is to not force things and gently work the energy ball up and down the spine several times.

Each time the energy ball rises up the spine little slivers or splinters of “black” energy will be released. Work past the deeply buried problem area and the energy will release itself. This will probably happen as a spontaneous release of emotional weeping. As an example I was working through some childhood issues when suddenly I was overwhelmed by feelings of emotional abandonment I had experienced as a child and repressed as too painful to remember. That toxic energy had been trapped in my physical body since I was a child. This did not happen during the meditation but later during the day.
After two hours of emotional sobbing and releasing the energy I felt better than I ever had in my life. Something bad in my life was no longer there. It had been released. If this energy had not been released it would have been released in knee-jerk psychotic behaviors beyond my conscious control. This is what I mean by safely releasing the energy and working the energy ball from the top down.
This also stresses the importance of developing the energy ball as a safe area for your awareness to retreat to if it has to. From the mental perspective it is easier to deal with these emotional time-bombs we all have within us. It allows us to remain in control and “safely” experience and release that which must be experienced and released.

STEP SEVEN

Continue moving the energy ball downward until it can move freely from the base of the spine to the top of the head without any restrictions or releases of “black” energy. When this has been accomplished your entire body will be phase locked with the spiritual energy source above your head.
“Spiritual energy” can now circulate freely throughout your entire body making small adjustments to increase your health and vitality. Emotional, sexual, and physical energy still can’t circulate freely because they are denser and much slower. They require much more purification. Still, now this can be safely done. The inner circuits already opened will act as emergency relief valves when pockets of denser “black” energy are activated and released.

STEP EIGHT

After moving the energy ball completely up and down the spine without resistance try forcing it downward toward the center of the earth. This will tap into more “black” energy that is surrounding your environment. By releasing this energy into your awareness you are defusing potentially dangerous situations by gaining awareness of them and neutralizing the charge they carry.
This earth energy will activate more “black” energy within your body and shake it loose so you can get rid of it. As long as your energy ball is “phase locked” with the spiritual power source all released “black” energy will go upward until it comes into conscious awareness where it can be dealt with safely and harmlessly. In AA this is termed turning things over to a “Higher Power”. We are using the energy ball to do this in a more mechanical way.
There is a power point where your feet touch the earth. Create an energy ball at this point and work with it as before. There are nine chakra points. Seven are within the body. One is just above the top of the head and one is where the feet touch the earth.
With practice you will be able to effortlessly move the energy ball deep within the earth and raise it upward as high as possible until it disappears into the “spiritual” light. Doing this will draw earth energy up into your body as a second power source. It will also create a column of light that goes from your spiritual power source down into the center of the earth to connect with your earth power source and with element #118.
This will establish a strong two way current within your physical body and anchor both power sources in a way that will make them constantly open and active. This ensures rapid growth and development as all parts of your body and psyche begin to “phase lock” together.
Only at this point is it safe to work will the strong physical and sexual energies in any serious manner.
For all practical purposes this completes the “lesser” work and begins the work of working with the dense earth energies. It took about six months for me to do. I have done it with groups of people in two hours. Working as a group makes the process much easier because you are able to draw on other groups members for help through the tough spots.
With the opening of these channels added energy flows through the body as the result of both solar and lunar influences. Now these powerful cycles are adding their energy with yours and individual progress is greatly accelerated. You become a channel for cosmic energies, solar energies and lunar energies.
When completed this meditation creates a permanent change within the energy channels of the physical body. It opens and releases blocked areas. I have done this with over sixty people in different group settings with similar results and feedback.
It is the most powerful way I know of to open the major energy channels within the body. It is also the fastest and safest.
In Masonry the “Royal Arch Degree” symbolizes what this meditation does. The mason is searching for the lost word and treasure. Among the ruins of an old building they excavate and find a hidden chamber. Beneath that chamber lies another chamber and beneath that yet another. Depending upon the variation of masonry there are seven or nine chambers that must be excavated to reach the bottom and find the lost word.
This meditation uses nine chambers, the seven within the physical body,one above the body and one beneath the body. It connects these chambers with two sources of cosmic power. Spiritual energy is tapped as high into the light as possible to reach. We lift the energy ball into the light until the toxic energy it carries is released.
The second source of cosmic power lies at the center of the earth. We draw that up into our lives for increased health and empowerment.

Yesterday when I went to work I tried scanning the multiverse/astral as usual to see what would happen during the day and use my own multidimensional abilities to smooth any rough spots. This has been a constant practice of a few years now and greatly enhances the quality of my work day. (This is something those with mulidimensional abilities will do routinely)

To my surprise the astral was completely collapsed and totally blocked as if with clouds. It was not working right. Now this morning, Thanksgiving Day, the clouds have cleared and the new earth emerges. It seems that Gaia has finally ascended bringing her entire ecosystem with her. This marvelous achievement required the creation of a new holographic 3d model under new rules. In effect, creating something within the universe that had not existed before, a crystaline light powered 3d.

Today as things seem to be settling down into normal physicality within the universe I sense most of our space brothers stationed upon the moon where they withdrew from the astral storm. The astral is completely empty and earth is kind of regrouping. There are still some highly charged areas that are discharging energy but each discharge reduces the tension.

There is a boundary or line of demarcation halfway between the moon and the earth which most space brothers can no longer cross. There are only a few that Gaia trusts enough to allow passage. This has been a life and death struggle for her and most space brothers did not understand her requirements.

Upon earth living in physical bodies are those that have ascended with her. Those of original earth physicality will benefit the most since they have been with her the longest and this is her ascension.

Starseeds, wanderers, space brothers and all other lightworkers in physicality will benefit as well but in a more limited way. They do not yet contain the full DNA sequence that she used for her ascension process and this was an organic ascension happening through DNA activation. They will remain safe through use of their own multidimensionality through the coming changes and when they finally leave physical earth at the time of their choosing through death they will be allowed to be reborn and come back at some point in earth’s future to live here once more.

They may of course simply chose to leave, but the door is always open.

Ramifications of this ascension are immense since a new level of reality has been added to the crystaline universe. Life will never be the same. Eath’s moon will continue as the connection point or staging area for her interaction with other life forms not already on her surface or interior.

Channeled contacts should continue with greater freedom and clarity as some of the most difficult communication obstacles have already been surmounted.

What does this mean? Don’t know yet! The next step is to cool down the high tension areas, middle east, euro crisis and all the great world problems in general. With each energy discharge, with each day that goes by things will be better.

So much of the old has fallen away that when the light enters the system at the winter solstice next month it will not be activating old stuff. Exciting times indeed!

Duality-The Male

    I would like to share a few essays that compare the process of ego development with some of the more recognized landmarks of metaphysical and psychological research. I’ve used the grade system of the Golden Dawn as a convenient way of organizing this data using Israel Regardie’s book as a reference. I could just as easily have used terms used by psychology or some other school of thought. The main point is that even if different terms are used the experiences described are the same.

There is a universal experience that is true for all people even if it is highly subjective. Therefore these next chapters are tied together in a way that builds on what went before. What they propose is a progressive ladder or stairway we each must travel in the process of healthy ego development.

With a little imagination and memory work you will be able to identify personally with almost every stage that is listed. We achieve these stages all the time but do not recognize them for what they are. They offer a type of initiation that will act as a catalyst for personal growth and healing.

While my examples may not be strictly accurate they should be very evocative and I welcome comments that would help smooth these concepts out a little more.

NEOPHYTE DEGREE

In this degree the Neophyte or newborn begins explorations of the ego. What I’m really saying here is we move from an animal awareness into an awareness of “self”. Typically these levels are dealt with naturally during childhood. Each must be developed before we can move on and mature in a healthy way. This degree has eight levels of awareness. Each level deals with personal limitations and how our developing ego grows and adjusts to confront and gradually master these limitations.

I don’t know of any order or sequence these areas may fall into. I do know we are not complete until we have explored and come to terms with all of these areas. There are many similarities with Erickson’s “eight stages of Man”. Those familiar with his work will find this addition especially interesting.

Limitations of Language. So often in our lives words are inadequate to express the depth of our emotions and the intent of our actions. We feel no one understands us, no one will listen to what we are trying to say. Gradually we accept that we have a unique perspective on life and many things that happen will remain forever secret between ourselves and the God of our hearts. We are not able to share them with others and we will never be able to share them.
At least this is the healthy way things should be. All too often we expect others to understand and have insight into our personal situation. We want to think our loved ones know us but the reality is that no one can really know us that deeply, not even our loved ones.

Limitations of action. We learn very rapidly in life that certain things are acceptable and others are not. We think things are unfair. Why are bad things happening to us? Why can’t we do the things we want to do?
We learn there are consequences to our actions, that action causes reaction and we are in the highest sense responsible for our actions. We learn to do the right things at the right times so we are socially acceptable.
Our parents are a great help in this regard. We do unto others as we would have them do unto us. These are the beginning insights into the cosmic law of karma, cause and effect. They are also the beginnings of our natural sense of justice and fairness. There is pride in knowing we have earned the rewards we get in life.
Sadly generations of children are being raised without learning that their actions have natural consequences. Parents over protect their children and let them get away with things. How can children be expected to know how to behave when they turn eighteen if mom or dad always comes to the rescue?

Limitations of emotions. This deals directly with our strongest personal desires. Often we want things so badly we would do or give anything to achieve them. We feel hurt, anger and helplessness when they are taken out of our reach. We WANT these things and we can’t have them. This is especially true in relationships that involve other people. In time we learn to desire things that are within our grasp and our abilities.
It is very important our sights are aimed high early because otherwise we will lose our desire to succeed in life. Unfortunately many parents have killed the higher ambitions in their children by not giving them the emotional support they need when they need it. This is often during the critical teenage years.

Personal limitations. Now we deal with the limitations of our own newly developing ego. We realize our perceived shortcomings. Life is not fair. Why is my nose so big? Why am I so fat? Why am I so tall? Does any of this sound familiar? We come face to face with what we have been given in life and react with intense personal dissatisfaction. As we mature hopefully we grow above these things and accept ourselves as we are.
Learning to love ourselves goes hand in hand with believing in our abilities. This means to expose ourselves to life and be successful in our own eyes.

We are Gods and Goddesses Here we ponder what it would be like to live for ever and ever. As children we feel immortal and nothing can harm us. Life is huge and just goes on and on. We have no control over this at all. Awareness just goes on and on and on. We have a destiny to fulfill whether we want to or not. We believe we are important and have an important part to play in the universe.
Some children are told they will be judged according to their deeds and sentenced to heaven or hell upon death. Others exposed to reincarnation at an early age will see karma as a wheel of life where we are born again and again until we get some meaningless lesson right. It is easy to feel helpless and small as we consider these forces of destiny.

Right and Wrong. Here we deal with our desire for revenge and the destruction of the wicked. We know through our parents and others the difference between right and wrong. We try to do the right things and God help those who are doing the wrong things. We are on their case in an instant. As children we tattle and as adults we turn others in to the authorities. We feel a strong desire for reward and recognition because we are doing the RIGHT things. We also fear the pain and humiliation of punishment.
We’ re given an early understanding of life. We have now mastered the fundamentals. The stories and dogmas have been read to us. Our questions have been answered and our thoughts carefully directed to conform with the wisdom of our elders.
In their infinite wisdom they assure us there is nothing more to learn. Our education is over and we can take our place as adults even if we don’t feel like adults. We do this through ceremonies such as confirmation, baptism, and graduation. There is a strong sense of stagnation and we no longer question the way things are. Sadly many adults seem to be stuck at this stage of ego development.

Death. People die, animals die, plants die and we have a growing realization that we too will someday die. It is inevitable. What happens after we die? Where do we go? Is there life without the physical body? Does it hurt to die? Are ghosts real and can they hurt us?
Our parents and churches tell us we will go to heaven. They tell us heaven is the most beautiful place we can imagine. But they also tell us about hell and damnation. If we do not believe certain things and do certain things we will go straight to hell with eternal agony and torment. We need to save our immortal soul by not doing things our bodies want us to do. We learn to not trust our own bodies and instincts. We learn to die

Zelator Degree

    When is the last time you have been passionate and excited about a cause? When have you believed in something so strongly that you became a zealot? Have you ever been “born again”? As we mature and confront reality we also deal with lower emotional baggage. This level is the awakening of the conscience. Normally this development takes place around ten or twelve years of age.

I was fourteen when it happened to me. Sadly it might never take place in some cases. The development of our ego can not continue in a healthy manner until this stage is completed. Most of us have a conscience but we might not always listen to it.

This degree has two levels of thought. In the first part of this degree we hear the voice of our conscience and either ignore it or give lip service to spiritual and noble goals. We have good intentions but identify with our physical body and human ego. We feel unworthy to have the things we desire.

We go to church on Sunday but keep falling short of our own expectations. In religious terms we don’t want to sin but we still do. Every day we do things over and over again that we are ashamed of and despair. We are sinners. We are unworthy. We think evil thoughts.

Heavy feelings of guilt and self loathing are encountered at this level of thought. A powerful force digs up our deepest subconscious psychic contents and exposes them openly to us. We are brought face to face with every word we ever regretted, every thought we were ashamed of. We feel little more than animals mindlessly reacting to physical and emotional stimulus. We are brought face to face with the mirror of our soul. We don’t care if God/dess forgives us because we can’t forgive ourselves.
This is a very hard time and many flee in terror at what they see in the mirror. They spend the rest of their lives in misery, guilt and shame, hating themselves and dreading the day they must face their final reward. This is the crisis point of the Zelator degree that must be crossed.
Once we have crossed this point we hear the call “repent sinner”. We change our lives and live differently. We no longer identify with our physical body. Instead we identify with our immortal body that lives on after death.

“He who believes shall never die.”
“You must be born again into a new spiritual body.”
“You must be saved.”

These are the messages we hear at this critical stage of ego development. Our conscience is erupting and when we are ready to listen huge changes take place in our lives.
There is a mental shift where life becomes a test and trial that is necessary to pass before we earn eternal salvation. If we can look in the mirror and do the best we can every day the inner voice of our conscience will forgive us for the errors we make.
Most importantly we learn to forgive ourselves. As we accept the inner voice of our conscience and strive to follow it we grow spiritually.
In this second level we are “born again”. We identify with a spiritual body or soul that is immortal. We get excited about the idea of living forever.
Because the ego is self-centered there is a feeling of separateness from others that occurs along with the joy of being “saved”. There is a sense of isolation and terrible loneliness that is bitter-sweet. We want others to experience what we have. It is hard to accept that others may not agree with us. We are forever alone with a unique personal perspective and path meant only for us.
When we try to share this perspective we can’t and this realization is devastating. The things that are so important to us simply do not matter to others. They laugh and ridicule us. Still this loneliness is the result of distorted thinking. We are never really alone because the entire universe is always a part of us and we are a vital part of it. Others don’t need to follow our path. They need to follow their path.
Our realization and experience of being “born again” causes us to weep for the loneliness and suffering of humanity. So much misery does not need to exist. People don’t understand what they are missing. At this point we develop compassion in our hearts for others. As we share our message and interact with others we become less lonely.
Our sharing becomes more mental as the material world becomes less important. Slowly concepts gain strength and reality over our lives. We live through conscious intent and will instead of passing fancy.
As this happens the emotions lose their control over our lives. We gain control over them and repress them until they are almost non existent. As this happens we depend more and more upon reason and logic.
This is a very painful period because we sense the coming death of the emotions. Life is no longer as fun as it once was. We have lost our “inner child”. Life without emotions is no longer life.

Practicus Degree

In this degree we struggle with the problem of how to be both body and spirit. In the last stage of ego development we discovered our spiritual nature and determined it was the most important. Now we are trying to live in the correct way.
We have been won over to the cause and now it feels like we have been a abandoned. Our false human ego is still identifying with our physical body but at the same time holds up rigid idealistic standards for itself and for others to live by. Here we have puppy love. We establish role models and become hero worshipers.
We have expectations for finding the perfect wife, the perfect husband, the perfect home, and the perfect job. We set our standards so high no one can fill them. Then we hate ourselves because of our failure.
These standards are mental concepts that are not integrated into physical reality. They are unworkable. We have entered the realm of logic and reason and the human ego is no longer supreme. The ideal, representing logic and reason is now supreme. Although they rule our lives logic and reason are unable to get at truth. The answers we get bring more questions. This turns into a vicious circle that rapidly gets out of control until we finally learn to stop asking questions.
Logic and reason distort things. We are no longer sure of what is good and evil, sin and salvation, or illusion and reality. Our head begins to spin and our overworked intellect feels inadequate.
In desperation we trust our intuition and conscience instead. The intellect can sense it’s approaching death even as the emotions did earlier. It feels threatened as it desperately tries to grapple with things and understand them.
We find ourselves in an intellectual fog where the only voice of sanity and reason lies with unquestioning faith. We identify more and more with our intuitions, with the Christ spirit within us and faith in the inner voice of our conscience. As we do this our intellect is screaming at us to stop. It is trying to tell us what we are doing is insane and makes no sense at all.
Trusting our intuitions and the inner voice of our conscience brings the birth of a higher level of consciousness. We think not with words but with the symbols given in our dreams and meditations. Our thought processes are more abstract and visual. There are no words for what we are thinking.
The first stage is an uncomfortable struggle with logic and reason. The second stage of this degree brings the decline of the intellect and the true birth of intuition. We trust our intuition above all other things. We develop a great spiritual pride that our inner self has won over the intellect and physical self. This is a very dangerous time for us!
We have a true feeling of accomplishment thinking we are one of the great adepts. We have little desire to try further but are content to stay right where we are. This is a great spiritual plateau and we must beware the poison of spiritual pride. This level marks the boundary between consciousness and higher-consciousness.
Our new consciousness with absolute faith in the intuitive self is still untamed, it is a beast. It is still joined to the lower personality and to the physical body. The spiritual vision is distorted and our intuitive self is hindered in its attempts to communicate with us. The intuitive self rules but it is an uneasy rule indeed.

Philosophus Degree

We find joy , peace and inspiration in mental travels and daydreams as we build a bridge of communication between our intuitive self and objective consciousness. There are three progressive levels in the Philosophus degree that occur naturally.

The first level is the realm of mentally traveling in imagination through time and space. This is the realm of avid readers and bookworms, especially readers of science fiction and fantasy. This is also the realm of heavy daydreaming. Our mind is constantly chattering away and we are enjoying it. This is a summary of all the previous levels and a great sense of peace and joy is found in loosing one’s self in imagination and creativity.

The Philosophus lets his or her imagination run wild as he or she explores all aspects of physical life and what could be. Anything and everything is possible. This stage begins the death of the lower human ego because the mental world is becoming more real than the physical world. There is a growing sense that all is one and the cares and worries of the distant world become vague and unreal. We are starting to become head trippers.
We are drawn toward abstract thoughts and spirituality. The spiritual life seductively begins to lure the Philosophus with promises of great treasures and rewards. More and more time is spent in mental pursuits until all of his/her free time and energy is caught up in this type of activity. Material and worldly affairs suffer as we become careless. Our relationships with family and friends disintegrate and we weep bitterly at losing these things but we can’t help ourselves and continue living in our heads.
In the second level of this degree we feel and appreciate the things we have lost in our mental pursuits. We feel them because they are no longer there and we miss them. Our bridge of communication with our intuitive self is not being built very fast and the cost we are paying is very high. Mental pursuits are no longer as fun and take on an aspect of desperation.

We explore the mystery of toil and the virtues of labor through intense study. In desperation we turn our vast creative energies exclusively to labor and study to build that bridge as soon as possible.
We recognize only then will we know our true path in life. Our efforts meet with failure after failure as we struggle to manifest what is in our heads. Trial and error are the ways to turn our ideas into actual experiences.
We consider one occupation after another and test it for intuitive approval. Time and time again our intuitive self says “no, this is not it”. Little by little we learn about ourselves by discovering what is hidden in our blind spots. Do we like to draw or work with people or perhaps write. What we should draw. Should we be commercial artists? Architects? Pure Artists? Comic book illustrators? Children’s books?
What should we write? Poems? Stories? Magazine articles? Political speeches? Possibly we should translate books from one language into another.
Slowly but surely our intuitive self guides us on a voyage of self-discovery where the goal is not as important as the journey is. Through trial and error we see our labors as a process of self unfoldment and self-expression. We are in a gradual process of evolution and constant change and so is the entire universe. It is through living and suffering that we learn wisdom.

We see all parts of the universe are working together as a big system and each individual’s part is very important. We see there is a specific path or place for us to fill and we can sense the importance of it.
Intuitively we comprehend the entire universe oscillates between states of potential and kinetic energy. We started out as passive spiritual beings of pure potential, divine sparks of light. Then we descended into physical bodies of pure kinetic energy, all motion.
Now we realize we are once more returning to the spiritual realms of pure potential energy. We are on the path of return to Source. We can use our abilities and become co-creators as God has always intended us to be.
In the third level of this degree we have a dramatic change in viewpoint. We think about being co-creators of the universe and Masters of our own lives. We contemplate ways to harness the energies of the higher planes and use them in the physical world. As we strive to bring these intuitive insights into physical focus we pour increased vigor and vitality into our studies. It becomes critical to build our bridge of perfect understanding between our intuitive self, the Christ spirit within us, and our conscious awareness.
We think about ideas and concepts without awareness of self or identity or ego. Form and formless merge into each other as we consider pure abstractions. Thought constructs become things that have a life and awareness of their own. We sense the entire universe is alive in some way and aware of our efforts.
Our consciousness becomes an eye that can see where ever it chooses. We see matter and spirit as valid realities. We become obsessed with the completion of our spiritual bridge. Our intensity borders on the very edge of insanity and we are driven. Nothing else matters to us at this point. We are driven by the seductive golden dream of what could be.

Adeptus Minor Degree

The Adeptus Minor is gaining insights and inspirations at regular intervals. Bits and pieces of abstract cosmic revelations are gathered one by one. At this point these scattered fragments have no rhyme or rhythm to them and they defy all attempts to make sense out of them.

The Adeptus Minor continues the philosophical study of pure abstractions and archetypal images. They are attempting to build a mental understanding of the cosmic realm from the bits and pieces received. The goal is to create a perfect reflection of the cosmic realm, a mirror image inside that reflects the world outside.

However, the developing image is very distorted. Existence appears as total annihilation. The Adeptus Minor recognizes they are a long way out into mental space and all alone. There are no familiar landmarks and the entire region seems an abomination full of horror and madness. Insanity is lurking around the corner. There is no color, no sound and no form.

Nothing is sacred. It is a realm where only ideas and more ideas keep coming and have no where to go. The Adeptus Minor still identifies with their physical body and human ego. If they are Christian they come face to face with their higher self or angelic body.

This is the part of them that continues on in awareness after the physical body dies. They realize this angelic body is more a part of their true self than the false human ego. The person exposed to the concept of reincarnation comes face to face with his or her reincarnating ego. The real self that lives from lifetime to lifetime. Physical life in the present body is seen as meaningless, a mere puppet following the prompting of a predetermined destiny.
Past and future lives are seen as all occurring at the same time. There is a strong sense of time and destiny flowing together. A shift of identity is needed to properly assimilate these new parts of the self. The Adeptus Minor must shift their identity from ego to super ego. The viewpoint must shift from a single human being to a multi-dimensional personality.
The second stage of this degree is when this shift of viewpoint occurs. The world and universe appear as a tremendous spinning wheel or machine with little sense or purpose. This wheel is both seductive and deceptive. The Adeptus Minor now has the ability to perceive both the big cosmic picture and the material world at the same time.

If their belief system permits they also gain the ability to perceive multi-dimensional life lines, probable realities, past lives, future lives and probable selves blending together and exerting subtle influences upon each other.

This level corresponds to the so called akashic records of mystical thought and psychic ability. Humanity is seen as evolving spiritually from the rim toward the center. We are all moving back toward “Source”.
As the Adeptus Minor perceives the subtle blending of all these influences moving together in harmony they understand the karmic need for violence, bloodshed and death. Good fights evil, life fights death and all progress must be individually earned.
Where harmony does not exist violence is the only means for awareness to leap across the chasm and assure the greater harmony of the whole.
No Adept can give insight to another. However, they can give initiation to another if the student is properly prepared and ready for it. This is one of the duties of the Adeptus Minor. They are developed in understanding to the point where they are able to plant seed thoughts into the receptive minds of those ready for it. They become spiritual teachers.
Initiation implies a drastic change and totally new outlook on life. True initiation is within the mind and emotional nature of the student and the Adeptus Minor is in a position to say the correct thing at the correct time based upon insights gained from personal experience.

Adeptus Major Degree

Blindly intoxicated by the elixir of the gods the Adeptus Major enters the vault of preparation. At least that’s what the old alchemical texts say. In modern terms we might say he or she is going around the bend. This stage is crucifixion and sacrifice. The inspired bits and pieces from the intuitive self form dimly perceived patterns. The Adeptus Major gets very excited about these “spiritual truths”. A new way of thinking is arising out of these fragments and is understandable as far as it goes.

Fascinated by this perception of “truth” the Adeptus Major commits the sacrifice of believing in their own visions rather than what physical reality says or demands. They identify exclusively with their higher self and their visions. The Adeptus Major is free of personal desires, emotions, thoughts, regrets and attachments.

Only one thing matters. Perfect union with the divine. They have lost themselves in their passion for mystical experience. To others the Adeptus Major has become a thing of wood with no emotional nature.

Close friends, relatives, and family members are hurt and confused by the distance between themselves and the Adeptus Major. They do not live in the same world and can’t reach their loved one .The Adeptus Major is so heavenly bound they are no earthly good.

The Adeptus Major next enters into a deep understanding of cause and effect. The smallest pebble creates ripples that travel throughout the entire universe. Everything that happens affects every other thing. All reality is seen as relative. Occurrences are the result of many small causes and not one big one. This is very compatible with modern chaos theory.
Everything is grey. All is in motion. Good and evil, right and wrong become meaningless concepts. Moral values are imposed by man and not by God/dess. All is pure existentialism. What you see is what you get. The universe is self evident and everything is right in plain view if we can only see it!
All things contain a passive element and an active element that must be balanced. Logic and reason are destroyed. They come to realize all things can logically be proven to be the best that ever happened or the worst that ever happened. Truth is relative. Values are real only to those that perceive them.
At this stage the Adeptus Major confronts their karmic load and understands what must be done to become karma free.
The Adeptus Major knows they are a spiritual being. Their all-consuming goal is perfect realization of the divine Christ spirit within them and complete harmony with their conscience.
By now the spiritual realms are revealed in their entirety. They have developed an incredibly perceptive “Christ Consciousness” and an understanding of their life’s work.
Unfortunately they perceive the goal but can’t reach it. Physical reality fights against them. They feel objective consciousness as an unruly beast that refuses to go where it is directed. It is badly in need of discipline. In real terms they don’t know how to physically manifest their vision and become very frustrated.
Gradually they work through false thinking and confront the realities of daily life. Hard work each day brings new freedom from the chains of cause and effect.
They may appear quite irrational and fear they are going insane. They may fear but their spiritual lust and intoxication drive them to plunge into spiritual oblivion.
Spiritual oblivion takes the form of intense joy and spiritual bliss. Life is a great joy and dance that needs no other purpose than itself. This mental state is called dancing in the light. The intense harmony holds them spell bound. With joy they realize they are not going insane after all. There is a physical, material purpose to what they are doing. In joy they unite the physical and spiritual within themselves and work toward a united purpose.
They are enthused about the great things they are doing even though no one else understands them.

Adeptus Exemptus Degree

Mental energy can only be taken so far and these adepts have reached the outer limits. Do you know what happens when your mind fails?

These people have left the world of form, the material world and live entirely in their heads. They are dead to the physical world and move about conducting their worldly affairs like zombies. When viewed from the purely physical point of view these people would be considered insane or severely troubled. They are emotionless, stern, solemn and constantly caught up in their own thoughts. They are not really there.

The Adeptus Exemptus has eliminated all personal desire and lust for life. There is a strong feeling of death and stagnation. They no longer have any desire for creativity. They live in total self absorbed darkness. Even the desire for Spiritual light is absent. Detached from their surroundings and from themselves, they are completely folded in upon themselves.

They have gone too far and there is no going back. They see nothing, hear nothing, and say nothing. All of their energy has gone inward in a total effort of spiritual selfishness. They seek only personal salvation and care nothing about others. They have no compassion or feeling at all. They are people that have used yoga, magic, meditation or prayer for personal gain and nothing can reach them. Now they are exploring the darker areas of their souls. They have gone too far and realize they are in trouble. In a desperate attempt to remain sane they freeze and try not to move in any direction at all.
If the Adeptus Exemptus has started their quest with compassion and concern for others karma will carry them forward into the temple of the Great White Brotherhood. This level emphasizes the importance of human compassion and concern for others. It represents the desire to help others with no thought for personal reward. People at this level are known as Avatars, Mahatmas…ect.
During this level a Master will appear and perform the baptism of the holy Christ spirit. The bridge between God/dess and conscious awareness has been built enough for the Christ spirit to descend in the form of a sacred baptism and initiation.
Those who refuse to share in the Great work can go no further. They have nothing to live for. All they have is a huge ego that shuts them off from others. They work only for personal gain and belong to the Black Brotherhood. They fear the abyss and death of the personal ego that lies ahead of them.
Members of the White Brotherhood recognize compassion for others is a sacred duty and holy trust. Spiritual selfishness must be eliminated with the death of the false ego. This degree is about the death of the false ego.
They stand on the brink of the Great Abyss. There is a sense of impending doom as the last bit of false ego cries out for survival. This is the brink of human consciousness. They are virtually at the very edge of their minds. Logic and Reason can not go beyond this point. There is a strong feeling of tension. There is expectation of an important event but nothing happens.
The tension is unbearable with a tug of war between pure spirit and matter. They are drawn toward God/dess across the abyss but fear the death of the ego because the ego can not cross. They have tasted union with the holy spirit at their baptism and now desire to merge with God/dess. But the spiritual bridge will not allow conscious awareness to cross it. Finally their deep longing wins and they plunge into the Great Abyss.
They take this plunge again and again until the false ego is totally destroyed. Their personality is no more. There is no sense of self. It takes courage and determination to achieve a permanent union with God/dess.
It requires long hard work and the spiritual bridge will only allow short moments of union with God/dess at a time. It will only allow brief glimpses, thoughts, and inspirations. Still the Adeptus Exemptus acquires the ability to achieve these insights at will and the day comes when their awareness will cross the abyss for brief periods at a time.
The feeling of crossing the Abyss is indescribable. They plunge into the arms of the great Cosmic Mother. They are surrounded in love and all embracing feminine warmth. They loose ourselves in holy bliss and rapture because they have truly achieved salvation. They know that spirit is reality and matter is illusion. This is the spiritual dawning of a new day and a new sense of self and awareness. This is the “Golden Dawn”.

Magister Templi Degree

     In this degree the adept achieves the highest mystical state known to man. This has been called “Crossing the Great Abyss”, “Cosmic Consciousness” and “Christ Consciousness”. Their awareness merges permanently with the collective intelligence of the human race. They achieve a state of transcendence and unity.
The Magister Templi has achieved the Golden Dawn and prepares for the Holy Marriage with the Christ spirit. They realize their own divinity and understand their life’s work. They complete and perfect the spiritual bridge. They also complete a mirror image, the microcosm back on the mental plane. This creates a perfect bridge of understanding allowing constant communication between the mental and the spiritual planes.
The Magister Templi has completed the Holy Tree of Life within. The trunk and branches are solid channels for spiritual energies. The roots are buried in the mysterious earth and thick leaves cover branches reaching up to the stars. This analogy means the Magister Templi has constructed a personal belief system that allows them to function at will on the spiritual plane and the mental plane.
They enter into the plane of spiritual love. Here they find self love and love of others. They see others as mere illusions or extensions of themselves. They perceive they are real and all else is illusion. They are a drop of spirit slipping into a great spiritual sea where they seek to loose themselves.
Somehow they must rise above these feelings and recognize others as real. Their task becomes helping others on their spiritual journey. This is the way of return to the physical world.
All karmic residue becomes ashes here for the white adept. Their karma has been consumed and they become liberated.
The Adept learns there is no supreme Deity except the one within themselves. All truth is unknowable and replaced by realized truth. This is revealed by the Christ Spirit a little at a time. Each adept must seek their own truth deep within themselves. This is an individual journey.
The adept sees the forces of Chaos and Order locked in eternal struggle. The male energy represents Expansive Chaos and their will to change the physical world. They aspire to become co-creators with God/dess.
The female energy represents Restrictive Order and the way things are now. Together they manifest all levels below this one. The duality that creates the universe is perceived. It is a balance of expansion and restriction.
The Magister Templi becomes an agent of Chaos to achieve their own personal desires and the upliftment of humanity. They desire to change the way things are.
Physical reality resists them fiercely and they are stripped of all power and attainment. This is the curse of this grade and the mystery of “Sorrow”. The physical world seeks to “eject” them

Magus Degree

The Magus is ready to return back to ordinary physical existence. They have learned outer reality is intimately connected to inner subjective reality. They have achieved real wisdom and gained recognition of their own level of achievement and mastery. They have integrated their spiritual nature and now need to integrate their shadow aspect.

The Magus becomes the legendary philosopher’s stone which transmutes all that come in contact with it. They are a circle whose center is nowhere and whose circumference is everywhere. They are who or what they choose to identify with. Here the Magus learns to consciously control self at all levels of existence. They reawaken the emotions and the physical body. They regain control over their surroundings and pursue their true purpose in life.

Like the artist that is completely free to paint what they choose, the Magus can do as they choose in life as long as they allow others the same freedom. Life becomes a true joy and an expression of self through all levels.
Their duty and purpose in life is to be themselves. By doing this they transmute all that come in contact with them and inspire people to a higher level of living.
The Magus is not all knowing or all powerful. They are only as knowledgeable and powerful as their belief system allows them to be. This is the real secret of their power and ability. Their belief system is open ended and harmonious at all levels. They can learn as much about any thing as they wish before going on to something else.
Their belief system is all inclusive. It includes the entire cosmos. This belief system is entirely integrated. It is like a hologram in which each part contains every other part.
The things the Magus can not comprehend are considered non-self and there is a powerful attraction between what they know and what they wish to know.
Learning is an area of intense bliss and the Magus will joyously spend their life learning all they can about physical reality. They have traveled through the different levels of awareness and now long to become those levels.
This is the indescribable experience of non-duality or total union with God/dess.
There is a sense of gentle loving and sharing that completely fills them. They are the key or microcosm and the universe or macrocosm is the lock. The key is all they are capable of knowing and the lock is all that is possible to become.
As the microcosm becomes more like the macrocosm, the Magus gains power and strength from the fabric of the cosmos. They use this power to achieve their ultimate purpose.
In their struggle to reintegrate with physical reality the Magus is active on all planes activating a causal link between astral/etheric reality and physical reality. Physical reality continues to stubbornly resist their efforts but gives way and they move forward anyway. The Magus is exploring the mystery of Change and how to achieve his/her true destiny.
For everyone that has not achieved this degree of awareness life consists of one step forward and one step backward with a zero-sum gain. That is why it is so hard to get anywhere without compromising who you are or what you desire. The Magus uses both sides of his nature to make each step move forward in an unstoppable manner toward the desired goal.
For the Magus the shadow self and the spiritual self work together toward a common goal under the direction and rulership of the true human ego.

Ipsissimus Degree

When the Magus is ready to achieve the highest region of spirit and the first stages of non-duality they become an Ipsissimus. This is the highest stage of psychological and ego development known to the ancients.

In this degree all of the energies, physical, emotional, mental and spiritual are integrated in complete harmony. In addition the Ipsissimus has also returned back to physical reality and become integrated with the energies of the earth and with the energies of society. They become a little child or babe, the son or daughter of God. This is the level achieved by Jesus.

At this stage conscious awareness and intuitive awareness are one and the same. They encompass all things at will. This is the highest level man can enter and return in the physical body to talk about. They have found their true path and follow their destiny. Being and doing converge as much as human life will allow. The Ipsissimus is as free as it is possible to be as long as they do what they were born to do. There is no discord or inner tension, only complete joy and peace as they recognize their divinity.
Eastern religions talk of the creation of the “immortal physical body”. When this body is created the ordinary physical body is discarded or transformed and no longer needed.

The Gods and Goddesses of all religions were once normal humans that achieved this degree and became divine or immortal. This has always been the true goal of the secret teachings within any religion.

Duality-The Female

Now the fun begins! Let’s take the information in chapter one and replace it with its natural opposite. Where death is mentioned use birth instead. Where spiritual is mentioned use material instead. In short, create a document that reflects the opposite type of ego and personality development than described in chapter one.

As a theory suppose this “opposite” type of ego development reflects the normal developmental process for females. Let’s see if this is feasible and of interest. Remember, the feminine nature exists within all of us, male and female.

As a study of duality we will presume “Duality-The Male” reflects the normal process of personality development in males. This is just an exercise to see what happens and is not to be taken too seriously.

“Duality-The Male” does represent the known stages of ego and personality development known through mystery schools of the past. Trying to create an “unknown” or “hidden” opposite type of ego and personality development is a study in the concept of duality. “If something is true, it’s opposite must also be true.”

No offense is intended. It is hoped additional insight into the dynamics of male/female interactions may be discovered. It is also intended as an aid in the perception of duality and the energy dynamics within male/female relationships and love in general. With this viewpoint the female is born with Goddess awareness having an intuitive perception of all things. She is born “psychic”.

Neophyte Degree

As a child she has the ability to easily express herself with words. Everyone is struck by her innocence and perceptiveness and they listen to what she has to say. She wants to share her Goddess perspective with others. Her words sting with truth. She is a Goddess within a child’s body and understands all things are possible. Good things can happen to everyone. She is optimistic and has the ability to do what ever she wants.
Intuitively she knows all karma resolves itself in the end. She can be carefree. As a teenager it is easy and natural to rebel against socially acceptable behavior. Her parents become alarmed and restrain her unmercifully to no avail. She learns to manipulate people and pull their strings to get what she wants.
Emotionally she has no strongly focused personal desires. She flits from one thing to the next in seconds and has everything she really wants. She feels joy and happiness as each wish is fulfilled. Life is good and she knows her desires will come true. It is hard to wait. There is no strong concept of time and the days blur together.
She dreams about her future life and what she will be when she grows up. She wants to be a bride and marry a prince. She has total control over her destiny at this point. With her Goddess awareness she can create the life she chooses. She is in control. Her intuition is highly developed and she can see how long term goals will work out. It is important she has a dream to inspire her to greater things.
Intuitively she knows there is no right or wrong. All things are potentials for exploration. She goes against her parents and gets others in trouble. She keeps secrets. There is apathy and depression because of an inability to choose only one direction out of the many that are pulling her in different ways. She might have trouble getting started but still she finds great joy and pride in the accomplishments of others.
Culture, religion, and philosophical concepts are very confusing. She appears very naive. Everything seems to go against her inner nature and is not harmonious. She is told how to think and how to act and she resents it. She rebels and rejects authority. The elders are blind, they don’t understand what she sees with her Goddess perception.
People are born, animals are born, plants grow from seeds. She is fascinated that one day she will be able to give birth. What will it be like? Where does the baby come from? How can the miracle of birth be? It seems unreal. Will it hurt her?
Her parents and society tell her sex is bad but how can it be bad if it produces babies? She intuits that sex is a need for a full life. With the beginning of her periods sex becomes a portion of her life that can not be ignored. The same is true for the mood swings that surge like waves through her.

Zelator Degree

She discovers that by appealing to others she can achieve physical goals easily. Everyone wants to please her. All nature appears bountiful and cooperative. There is enough for everyone. All she can do is good and she is impersonal love. She has light feelings of innocence and worthiness.

She is naive and tries weakly to enter into physical life. She is in her early teens, the Goddess awareness is withdrawing. She reacts to physical and emotional stimulus. She is turning her back on the Goddess within and facing an exciting and unknown world with mental awareness.

She notices others are fascinated by her body. She can wrap them around her finger by teasing them and flirting. She admires her body and seeks to be more beautiful. She spends her days in joy, experimentation, and curiosity loving herself. She is becoming more of a Goddess.

Nature and the world surround her with life, vitality, and sensuality. She identifys with it. She rejects her spiritual nature and accepts physical life. She has to live. Life is a joy and a reward. She can do anything. All things are possible. She identifies with a physical sensual body and a sharp inquisitive mind.

Mind and body are highly integrated. Her connection with the Goddess awareness is mental. She doesn’t need to think about it anymore. There is a sense of belonging and companionship in social activities. Her intellect is brilliant. As she withdraws from her Goddess awareness she looses her source of spiritual energy. Spiritual growth can no longer be done alone.
She doesn’t always get her way in things and gets into trouble. As her spiritual energy leaves, she becomes increasingly involved in wild emotional currents. Her mental clarity suffers and her intellect and reasoning ability gradually drop as they are overwhelmed by the emotions.
She will seek company, laugh with good companions, and enjoy the delights of the world. As she begins to deliberately use people she has less compassion, becomes cold hearted and lonelier.

Practicus Degree

In spite of all efforts she looses contact with her spiritual Goddess awareness as she grows older. At the end of this cycle there is not even an intuition connection. What she is left with is her intellect.

At the beginning of this cycle she mentally identifies with the spiritual Goddess, but opens herself to embrace all things. This is true Goddess love. She acts through instinct.

With the beginning of her periods she begins to recognize the physical nature in herself. All options are explored to the fullest. She loves herself and the whole world. Her body rejoices with eagerness. Everything is right. She has entered the physical realm and the Goddess is still supreme as an ideal although unreachable.

The body obeys the mind. She has all the answers and understands all things or thinks that she does. All is self-evident. There is stability and peace. She has no expectations. Everything is new and fresh. All is fulfillment. This is the first half of this degree.

The second half is more difficult. She moves from a position of empowerment to a position of weakness. As sensuality and the emotions become stronger, her spiritual Goddess nature is dismissed carelessly. There is great joy in freedom. Everything is fresh and clear. No intellectual fog. She identifies more and more with her body and her physical environment.
Her body can’t be wrong. It knows what is good for it or not good for it. Everything is clear. The body can deal with anything that comes along. She trusts her body over reason. Her body can get her things that her reason can’t.
This birth of body consciousness alters her thought processes. Abstract symbols become difficult and unimportant. She uses words, emotions and body language. Her new body awareness is strange and she feels timid and shy, uncertain.
The physical self becomes unhindered in its attempts at self expression. It rushes forward in total control. She feels weak and powerless. All is against her. There is no power. She has a great desire to accomplish great things and become somebody at any cost. She plunges recklessly and joyously down the steep incline into sensual materialism totally forsaking all spiritual values.

Philosophus Degree

Having broken her connection with Goddess she feels apprehension and sorrow at her sudden exposure to a hostile and threatening world. She does not feel safe and secure anymore.

This begins the birth of the lower human ego because the physical world and the emotional world are more real than the spiritual one.

There is a sense that all is chaotic and she is beset with cares and worries that are all too real and clear. Everything is too real and too physical. There is no escape from the present moment. This is the first eye opening exposure to the true terrors and delights of the material world. There is no more innocence, only awakening.

This is a totally new experience and a great sense of apprehension and sadness is felt in the fear of loosing one’s self completely in sensuality and materialism. There is the lure of becoming lost in the pleasures and sorrows of the present moment.
She is hesitant in using her imagination since she has so little spiritual and mental energy of her own. It is much harder than before and no longer comes naturally. Even though she carefully chooses her experiences she just seems to get in deeper and deeper and can’t escape. She might use drugs to escape from the pressures of unrelenting reality.
The physical, sensual life seductively lures her with promises of great treasures and rewards. More and more time is spent in physical pursuits until all of her energy and free time is caught up in physical life and in the present moment. She controls others like puppets.
Mentally she identifies herself as a physical Goddess. Sensual pursuits are fun and she explores the mystery of toil and virtue of labor. Her earth energies are turned toward relaxation, social life, and enjoyment. Total hedonism is the only way to truly experience all of life.
She is in a process of devolution and stagnation and so is everything else. She does one thing after another and nothing seems to satisfy. She is becoming jaded and seeks meaning in life. Little by little she learns about the world through experience and sensation. There is no spot for her to fill or path to follow. Everything becomes meaningless.
At some point she has a dramatic change of viewpoint. She is loosing the ability to be a co-creator. Her personal energy is almost used up. Unless she receives energy from someone else she will retreat into a life of dull drudgery. If she is not married she begins looking. The biological clock is ticking. She can’t do this alone. She needs a partner.
Her whole attitude remains self centered. She thinks of herself and how to get the things she wants in life. Others come second. This is a time of total selfishness. Mental abilities are at an all-time low and she is ruled by emotions and instincts. She will use people ruthlessly to get the objects of her desire. She will find a suitable partner through cold calculation if need be.

Adeptus Minor Degree

The entire world spreads out before her in richness and splendor. She can carve out of it what she will. For the first time in her life she feels like she can reach out and make a life for herself, an empire or a family.

She is ready to act and knows what to do. She can use people as she wishes to achieve what she wants. It is her dream, her empire that is important now. Her self-centeredness is absolute and her discipline is tremendous. She can accomplish great things. There is no mental hesitation or uncertainty. She can see with clarity exactly what needs to be done to get what she wants. She is a master and creator.

Her body can create life. She is surrounded with life and vitality. All seems familiar and safe. The world is an ecstasy of joy, color, sound and beautiful forms. All is sacred. There is nothing to think about. It is all here right now. Life is self-evident.

She is the Goddess-a force of nature-unstoppable. She understands the karmic need for excitement, thrills, and life vitality. Also she understands the need for ruthlessness and violence.

When harmony becomes too dull and monotonous she livens things up. She gives inspiration to others. She takes what she needs and others let her have it. She controls people like puppets. She is intoxicated with power and is on fire for more and more. She is especially given control over the men in her life and able to direct them and use them to achieve her goals. They are willing to give her what she needs and she is willing to accept. She lives entirely in the present moment.

Adeptus Major Degree

At this point she must confront and balance out any karma she created in previous years. This is a final harvest and accounting where results come back to her. Her motive power is gone completely. If she has good karma coming, this time will be a blessing as others come through for her. They now repay her kindness in full and give her energy and vitality.

If she has bad karma she must pay it back, loosing all she holds dear leaving only pain and sorrow. She identifys with the emotional and astral worlds of sense and feeling. She is riding a wave she has no control over. There is no reason for manipulation and control games. Those were in the past. She is living the results of past actions and she knows it.
She becomes uninhibited and careless of ideals. She experiences pure desire, emotion, and thought getting caught up in the intensity of the present moment, but she remains bound by her karmic chains. Instead of confronting her karmic chains, she may refuse and do anything to escape reality including drug and alcohol abuse. She is desperate to get relief from the stress of the moment regardless of consequences. She is blinded by her ego. This is where the most harmful karma is generated.
There is no escape and there comes a time when she gives in and accepts the consequences that are coming to her. In owning her responsibility for what is happening an important shift of awareness takes place.
She believes she alone is real, she is the Goddess. She experiences the physical realms in their entirety and has an elemental awareness of things. This is her peak in life. She is forced to confront her karmic chains and becomes a slave to it. She is sucked into the karma she created and works to become free. This is an important period of service. She learns to reach out to others forgetting about herself as she works out her karma. She has become a mother.

She forsakes the material world and tries to plunge into spiritual salvation through living for others. To her horror the spiritual planes are denied to her unless others give her their energy. She becomes dependent on others. She struggles to escape her karmic bonds. Physical sensuality takes the form of intense sorrow and physical agony as she suffers under her burden. Life is seen as a great sorrow that brings only death. The intense disharmony is not tolerable and she fears for her sanity.
In one way this may be seen as the burdens and demands of motherhood and child nurturing. There is a balance of both good and bad things happening and she is changed forever.

Adeptus Exemptus Degree

If giving birth is an initiation motherhood is an even greater initiation. Watching your children grow up and being there for them is very powerful. The Adeptus Exemptus has mastered being a good mother to her children.

Here she offers material things to her family without thought of self or personal gain. She is fulfilling her karma. She is compassion and feeling for those she loves, nothing else. She is reaching out to all things within her home with no thought of self. She sees everything, hears everything, and talks constantly. She is totally consumed by this role of being a mother.

She longs for the spiritual life and rebirth of the Goddess ego but this time in the mother aspect. She is drawn uncontrollably toward the spiritual levels. As the last of her karma resolves itself, her longing flings her toward total union with spiritual Goddess awareness once more. This is full realization of what being a mother really means. She becomes a matriarch. There is an interesting distinction between this level as a male and this level as a female. Most females attain to motherhood and to this grade of ego development. Few males ever reach their corresponding level of development.

Magister Templi Degree

It has been said there are three great stages in a woman’s life. These are the three faces of the Goddess, Maid,Mother and Crone. For the male the Magister Templi Degree involves crossing the Great Abyss and the destruction of the false ego. For the female the Great Abyss is entering the Crone stage. Her child bearing years are done and she is known for her great wisdom.

It is in entering this stage that she is able to develop a strong ego for herself and finally turn toward her own needs and dreams. She has lived so long for other people that living for herself can be a strange and uncomfortable change. It is new and not comfortable.

She remembers being a maid and being a mother. Now she is once more developing a global perspective. She understands fully what it is to be a woman and is able to help those younger than her get through tough times. She is Mother Nature.
She becomes a great spiritual sea that embraces all the tiny drops that are others. She is the empty space that supports the stars. She is an illusion, only real through the actions of others. She is illusion and all else is real. She supports the entire cosmos. She seeks harmony and stability. She is inseparable from life. Life is action, she is reaction. She is order, Life is chaos, together they create all things.

Magus Degree

It is in this degree the female reconnects with her Goddess and spiritual nature. She regains the wisdom and insight she had as a small child. She does this by once more being around small children. Her children have grown and left the nest. But she has grandchildren.

She feels the emptiness and comes to terms with it. This is not only a death but a rebirth for her. She lets go of her children and embraces her own inner child once more. She watches her children become parents and struggle just as she has struggled. As painful as it is to watch others suffer she knows they must be allowed to find their own way.

When asked she has much valuable knowledge to share. The children really love her and feel close to her. The circle of life is complete and she understands. Her own children need to be allowed to experience and learn through their own mistakes and efforts.

Perhaps for the first time she can understand the need for tough love as she interacts with her grandchildren. The female finds spirituality through the biology of life and love. It is not an abstract spiritual light found in a church or through prayer. Spirituality comes through the love that is shared with friends and family. It comes and is given through a hug or through service to others. It is warm and it bleeds when it is hurt. That is what spirituality is.

Ipsissimus Degree

Spiritual light is only accessible through the physical worlds and physical man. She must journey back to the Priestess- to become a child before she finds fulfillment. The Ipsissimus Degree completes the journey of ego development for the female. The circle is complete and once more she has regained her Goddess nature and her spiritual power.

In this chapter we explored an alternate version of ego development and spirituality much different than what is commonly accepted. This path is the path of biology and physicality.

It is the path of life giving birth to life with the challenges and the joys such a path brings. The spiritual path for the female lies through the physical world as maid, mother, crone and leading to death.

This is a path of family and a path of service to humanity. The path of parenthood is not as natural for the male but it is just as important.

One of the things the female can do in this degree is understand and help the males in her life to understand this path and learn to value it. At the same time having traveled her own path she becomes free to gain an understanding of the male path and grow in that type of spirituality as well.

In summary we might consider the male path of development as the path of creating something out of nothing. The male takes an idea and manifests it in the physical world. This is also called creating heaven on earth. Doing this makes him a creator or God.
The female path of development is to bring Gods and Goddesses into physical life and to become a Goddess herself. Her body has the wisdom and ability to do this.
The irony is that very few males successfully reach the highest stages of ego development and spirituality. They become stuck at some lower level and can’t continue. Many are not able to bring their dreams into physical manifestation. Not many males can become Gods or creators.
All most all females can achieve the roles of maid, mother and crone. They can feel the power of mother’s love and the sorrows that come with it. All females can become Goddesses. Some just do it better than others. Some are able to achieve this without giving birth to children. They will give birth to family.
