Finding
Your Higher Self
.
Let
your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works,
and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
— Matt. 5:14-16
.
There
is a way, tried and true, that saints, adepts and avatars
have walked. The way is universal, timeless and will reunite
you to your higher self, to the most sublime consciousness
of God realization that can shine through you. This is a path
of individuated Christhood and Buddhahood that Jesus, Maitreya,
Gautama and many others, even in civilizations long forgotten,
helped forge. As you follow in their footsteps, you will become
one with Christ, the universal Christos, which in Greek means
"anointed." You will discover, cultivate and expand
the divine spark in your heart. You will gradually become
awake, enlightened and demonstrate the divine mission of every
son and daughter of God.

Spiritual
Pioneers
In
the last century, many spiritual pioneers have come forth
to teach the path of personal Christhood and Buddhahood including
Nicholas and Helena Roerich with Agni Yoga; H.P. Blavatsky,
Charles Leadbeater and Annie Besant with the Theosophical
Society; the Rosicrucian Fellowship, Yogananda and the Self
Realization Fellowship, Corinne Heline, Guy and Edna Ballard
with the I AM Movement; and Mark and Elizabeth Clare Prophet.
Their books and teachings pave the way to help people recognize
and champion their divine identity. Much of the information
on this website was inspired by them, as well as by personal
experience and by mystics from all of the world's major spiritual
traditions.

A
Mystical Path
In
God there is no division. The duality of the earth plane yields
to the great oneness encountered by those who have had near-death
experiences. When your eyes and heart are set on this truth,
you will partake in the water of life promised by Jesus and
others who inspired many of the world's religions.
The
Voice in the Heart
As
Self-awareness expands, the concept of God as an outer deity
to be worshiped or appeased releases its grip. Arising in
its stead is new freedom, an intimate relationship with a
still, small voice. Like Thomas Kempis who wrote The Imitation
of Christ more than 500 years ago and Francis Bacon who
discovered the unfailing guidance of his heart, so will you
learn to engage the most profound inner dialogue between your
outer consciousness and your own Christ mind.
.
.Passing
Your Tests
The
path leading to Christhood and Buddhahood is a path of initiation
and testing, especially in a world that does not reward this
calling. At times, you will feel buoyant, uplifted and accelerated
in the joyous experience and bliss of divine union. At others,
you will feel empty, alone and unworthy as you navigate the
shadows where the sunrays of your own God presence have been
eclipsed. This is known as the dark night of the soul and
the dark night of the spirit. All saints have passed through
this, as did Jesus on the cross and Lord Buddha during his
ministry.
.
Fulfilling
your Mission
The
key to this mystical journey is to find your inner light,
to expand it through love and to brighten life around you.
Love
God with all our heart, soul and mind, keep on keeping on
through the ups and downs of life and honor your neighbor
with good works. In so doing, you will balance karma and fulfill
your specific mission, the divine plan or dharma that can
only succeed through you. Your reward lies beyond nirvana,
unto your ascension—the permanent reunion with God that
Jesus, Elijah, Enoch and many other Great Lights East and
West so beautifully demonstrated.
Look not for a refuge in anyone besides
yourselves.
And those, Ananda, who either now or after I am dead,
Shall be a lamp unto themselves,
Shall betake themselves as no external refuge,
But holding fast to the truth as their lamp,
Holding fast to the truth as their refuge,
Shall not look for refuge to anyone else besides themselves,
It is they who shall reach to the very topmost height .
—Sayings of the Buddha
