Rite of Passage

“This May Very Well Prove To Be The Most
Important And Empowering Day Of Your Life”

No one appears on our stage unless the director has placed them there for our benefit - Paramahansa Yogananda

Life unfolds whether you feel you are truly governing the unfolding or not. This unfolding is how you identify with your life here, now. It’s a journey we all take, yet few only truly come to KNOW. It has been my own experience that governance through Conscious Divine Action shows the Rite of Passage in ones Life.

In wikipedia: A rite of passage is a ritual that a person must go through in order to progress to the next stage of their life. It is a universal phenomenon which can show anthropologists what social hierarchies, values and beliefs are important in specific cultures. Rites of passage are often ceremonies surrounding events such as other milestones within puberty, coming of age, marriage and death. Initiation ceremonies such as baptism, confirmation and bar or bat Mitzvah are considered important rites of passage for persons of their respective religions.

Your Rite of Passage is Conscious Divine Action revealing itself and taking it’s rightful place. This is your revelation, your truth, and the burning off of your Identity or ego.

To be in service is to also share in the light. On the preceding pages are some of my truths, insights and wisdom that I pass on to you. May they assist on your Journey to your Rite of Passage.

Everyone one of us has the opportunity to bring forward the divine aspect of themselves here now into this present moment. This clearing of the Ego by which I mean the burning away of the body, mind and heart, allows for peace to be wholly realized into the present moment. When one blissfully experience this moment they are allowing their God Centered truth to be revealed.

The more I choose to reveal ‘peace‘ into everything I do in my day to day experiences the more the God Divine presence is felt experienced and shared.

Find God- he isn’t hiding from you, you’re hiding from him.

- Paramahansa Yogananda

The literal story of the Garden of Eden goes like this:

God charges Adam to tend the garden in which they live, and specifically commands Adam not to eat from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. Eve is quizzed by the serpent concerning why she avoids eating off this tree. In the dialogue between the two, Eve elaborates on the commandment not to eat of its fruit. She says that even if she touches the fruit she will die. The serpent responds that she will not die, rather she and her husband would “be as gods, knowing good and evil,” and persuades Eve to eat from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. Adam realizes what Eve has done, so he eats the fruit also, so that he can stay with her. At this point the two become aware, “to know good and evil,” evidenced by an awareness of their nakedness. God then finds them, confronts them, and judges them for disobeying.

God expels them from Eden, to keep Adam and Eve from also partaking of the Tree of Life. The story says that God placed cherubim with an omni directional “flaming sword” to guard against any future entrance into the garden.

So that was the story of the Garden of Eden from the bible told from a literal perspective.

Let’s look at the story of the Garden of Eden from an Allegorical Perspective.

I will use my hand to describe: “The Hand”

Everyday we have the choice as to how we want our life to be directed. The Hand metaphor or the Fall and Rise of Consciousness was shared to me from Des Michael. I found it to be compelling and have always found it an easy way to describe how one can walk into their own truth.

Lets Look at all the players in the Hand scenerio:

The Garden of Eden | GOD or the Heavens with God

You or Spirit | represents Adam and the masculine aspect

Emotions or Heart | represents Eve and the Feminine aspect

Mind or Mental  | Snake or Serpent

The Bodyor physical  | The tree of Life or the Apple.

The relationships established are clear. Eve starts entertaining aspects of body and mind- then then chooses so by biting from the tree of life and blames the snake or serpent for her choice. The snake of course is the mind. Adam now has a choice to either hold steady in that of the light and let the aspects of Body, Mind and Heart burn away and allow a new creation to surface such as everything coming back to alignment . By Adam’s feeling of loss, his demise was identifying with Eve, his Emotions. Can you see now the Allegory in the story. It’s describing our own fallen state and suggesting our spiritual death is by mere choice.

Can you see how this story is a story about you. Everyday we consciously create by our actions, our thoughts, and our emotions. Our general feeling is an energy that has a relationship with all four vibratory fields. Every moment we have a choice to stay in Alignment and allow God to direct our creation. Doing so, we are present, in peace and harmony. We are spiritualized as there is a “burning of the flesh” that takes place with in our hearts. It is here that God takes Divine Action in us and we co-create our moments together.

You then allow for the Spiritual Ego to flow and be in Response of Life, rather than in Reaction to Life.

When Buddha was meditating and going through his process of self actualization, it did not come with out challenge. As he meditated there was an attempt to seduce him by sex, money, inheritance of a kingdom, death by an army and others as well. He chose to hold steady in that of the light and not identify with his surroundings. It was through this process that he began to laugh as he had his revelation or realization. He saw that everything that was placed before him was of his own creation. His God Centered Self was testing to see if he could prove out to himself his own existence. “I am that, I am”.

Everyday we have our own opportunity to hold steady in the Light by being in Peace and not to be consumed by the things around you.

We have a similar story in The Bhagavad Gita (“The Lord’s Song”) in that of the relationship between Arjuna and Krishna.

Just as the battle is about to start, Arjuna falters at the sight of his relatives and teachers, now his sworn enemies. He breaks down and refuses to fight. “How can any good come from killing one’s own relatives? What value is victory if all our friends and loved ones are killed? … We will be overcome by sin if we slay such aggressors. Our proper duty is surely to forgive them. Even if they have lost sight of dharma due to greed, we ourselves should not forget dharma in the same way.” (KD 544-5)

Arjuna fears that acting out his own dharma as warrior will conflict with universal dharma: how can killing family members be good, and not disrupt the social order? Herein lies an unresolved conflict in Hinduism between universal dharma and svadharma (an individual’s duty according to caste and station in life). A warrior must kill to fulfill his duty, whereas a brahmin must avoid harming any living creature. Even demons have their own castes and svadharma, which may run counter to human morality.

His charioteer Krishna addresses him as they pause in the no-man’s land between the two armies. Through these moments Krishna reveals his truth.

The battle is a metaphor for the battle of life, and the characters who participate in the metaphoric battle represent the good and bad qualities of each human being. For example, the Pandus represent spiritual qualities, and the Kurus represent evil qualities.

Within each human being, the good and evil qualities battle for ascendance. The purpose of holy scripture is to offer the human being a method for learning to enhance the good and eliminate the bad, in order to regain the paradise of the soul. The subtitle of Yogananda’s explication is Royal Science of God-Realization. It is God-realization that we all crave, and the Bhagavad Gita is the instruction manual for achieving that realization.

The Gita poem is part of the longest they say of any epic poem in existence, Mahabharata. I have come to understand a basic underlying principle in the story was that all the things that Arjuna was experiencing were only mere reflections of himself. His brothers and having to fight them if that was what he chose meant falling from his own grace of which he rode on. By trusting Krishna (God) to continue and be his chariot driver and direct his life, was the embodiment of what it is to be here now. The battle ensues, choices are made. It’s a story of man’s own choices and his fall from consciousness. It’s also a message that there is always an opportunity for salvation by letting God be your chariot driver. Again we can take this story and apply it to our own lives.

We have seen and experienced in our own lives, when life’s challenges present themselves, we have an opportunity to “React” or “Respond” as to what’s happening.

Most people tend to use these words interchangeably suggesting they are one in the same. But let’s break it down a little further so as to give clarity that these words are quite different all together.

Reaction is identification of the lower vibratory pattern of Ego. By Ego I am inferring to the Body, Mind and Heart or another way put the Physical, Mental and Emotional. The basis of reaction mostly stem from fear, shame, guilt, judgment. Others such as anger, resentfulness, pride, desire, selfishness, are emotions that we tend to being identified with as well. Now these play out in one’s life as a “bad script for a possibly great movie”.

Response is a clear identification of a higher vibratory pattern of Spiritual Ego. Being in response is being of the right mind. Right mind is of Peace, which is the ever loving Light of God.

There is a clear difference between the two. By being in Response you allow Peace to direct your Mind, Body and Heart. Peace is a clear cooling feeling. This feeling is a completely different vibration or energy than that of Reaction.

Think of a situation in your past, where you were experiencing a feeling. Are you feeling pain, anger, grief, sorrow? Or how about not being able to make a decision about something?

Dr. David Hawkins was able to map out our consciousness using a Log. The Log was based on two different axioms, one being Power, the other Force.

If one considers one’s Life View of one’s self in the beautiful illustration, one maybe have greater clarity as to going beyond courage. From courage one begins to experience the openings other their spirit incarnate.

Eckhart Tolle also describes this clearly in his book the Power of Now. By not reacting to a situation means not identifying with a past moment or projecting into a future “what if”. When one can stop this type of nonsense they can clearly be present. The present is Now, and by being in the Now, your in Peace. You bring forth the God incarnate within you.

This is your Rite of Passage.

Ever feel great one moment and then, ka-boom, you feel very disturbed? Or have you ever walked in a room feeling great and go to meet someone and when you meet you get a feeling they don’t like you. You then go into this delusional mind pattern of trying to defend your position of who you are in your head and feel maybe a little angered or judged by the situation.

We often are so caught up in our thoughts or emotions that we can often not even realize that are thoughts may not even our own.

Here in lies the secret. The less you identify in this type of patterning the less effect it has on how you feel. You see in order for a feeling to be potentialized, it has to involve the emotions. It also has to involve either, the body, mind, or spirit as well. So it takes two vibrational patterns to be realized in your daily living. Now if you are always caught up in a reactive mode you are always self identified in your thoughts and emotions.

To bring in the vibration of spirit is to be at peace with any situation and this feeling you have manifests through your body, mind and heart.

Always be aware of your thoughts and make conscious choices to bring the peace into any giving situation. It is in these moments that you start becoming more Self Actualized in Conscious Divine Action.

“What you are is what you have been, and what you will be is what you do now.”  – The Buddha

Take a deep look at your life and you may come to realize as I did: Many of my beliefs were not even my own but inherited by my parents, friends, television, radio, newspapers, Internet, advertisements, religions, politics, nationalism, capitalism, fascism, socialism, your financial, society, school, and how I was perceived around other people.

If you want to believe something, that is your choice. There is another way… Wouldn’t you like to KNOW?

Someone once taught me that the first step to knowing is to forget everything you learned.

“He who knows nothing is nearer to the truth, than he whose mind is filled with falsehoods and errors.” – Thomas Jefferson

POSSIBLY QUESTION FROM YOU?

So how do I know?

This is a question the Ego would ask, based on Judgment.

Instead of choosing to Judge, prove it out for yourself. Firstly, by let go of your identity. The letting go of you, who think’s it’s you. Secondly, stop thinking. The past or future are futile. The present is all that is needed to allow your divinity or “god centeredness”  to be here now. This is your realization, your truth, your knowingness.

The Feeling is different. Do you Feel the difference?

You see, you don’t have to believe in GOD, he’s here now present with you.

Some books like, The Power of Now and An Autobiography of a Yogi I found inspirational and helpful.

You will also find on these pages, links to teachers that I have found to have assisted me in transcending my truth.

There is no chance or coincidences in Life. As a creator being, everything you see happening in your life is part of your Creation. Your creation is happening on different levels of consciousness concurrently. Conscious, Unconscious or Sub-Conscious and Super Consciously this world and the people you surround yourself with have been realized in the world around you by the lines of agreement made and by the Universal Laws that govern All Life. Here is a list of them:

The Law Of Vibration states that anything that exists in our universe, whether seen or unseen, broken down into and analyzed in it’s purest and most basic form, consists of pure energy or light which resonates and exists as a vibratory frequency or pattern.

The Law Of Attraction is the Universal Law which ensures that whatever energy is broadcast out into the universe is joined by (or attracted to) energies that are of an equal or harmonious frequency, resonance or vibration.

The Law Of Cause And Effect states that any action produces or returns a result or outcome in exact proportion to the act or cause which initiated it. Also referred to as Sowing and Reaping or Karma.

The Law Of Resonance the Universal Law which determines the various vibratory patterns or frequencies which are determined and projected based on various thoughts, beliefs and emotions and the resulting projected frequency which activates the Law of Attraction ensuring that this resonance or projected energy can only harmonize with energies that vibrate or resonate at a similar harmonious vibratory frequency which determine and create your physical results.

The Law Of Growth is the Universal Law which is one of the simplest to comprehend. It simply exists to ensure that something always grows, that creation is constant and determined by the kind and quality of seed which is planted. In the case of Universal truth this seed is determined by the energy projected. Through it’s immutable, unwavering and predictable operation you can become conscious and purposeful in what you project or plant which will determine what you will receive or harvest in each area of your life.

The Law Of Abundance can best be understood by looking at the continual growth and unlimited resources available within our Universe. It is continuously producing and multiplying effortlessly through the power of the above Universal Laws, the abundance of which is determined only by the kind and quality of the seed or energy projected.

The Law Of Polarity Do you ever wonder why in a world of unfathomable Abundance why it is that we must sometimes go through events, conditions and circumstances that we perceive as unpleasant? Becoming aware of and developing a deeper understanding concerning the Law Of Polarity may provide the insight that you need.

The Law or Reciprocity which is intricately connected and harmonizes perfectly with all Universal Law, initiates and creates an unwavering and unfailing process which “Reciprocates” meaning to give and take mutually or to return in kind or degree.

By discovering and implementing these Universal Principles into your day to day life, you will begin to develop an awareness that you may not have previously experienced prior to absorbing this knowledge.

It is important to understand that The knowledge of how Universal Laws operate in and of themselves will be of no benefit to you. It is in the “correct implementation” of the knowledge acquired and learning to harmonize your actions with their unwavering certainty that will allow and enable you to experience a life above and beyond your wildest expectations.

You can use these Universal Laws as the way you are now and co-create.  But there is no true resolve because all the riches in the wold can’t satisfy your craving to know. To come to know requires understanding your true self. When you come to this place and use the Universal Laws things will be and look different.The book, The Moses Code by James Tyman shows this in his book.

It first starts though by practising the power of now. Being present is divine action here on earth. It is from this point that you truly begin to understand the universal laws and use them as a part of your daily experience.

“Infinite Love is the only reality, everything else is an illusion” -David Icke

The story of the burning bush has been described many times in the bible, such as a story with Paul and a story with Moses. In each cases God appears to be a separate from the individual and asking to have relations. The bush is said to be of Yahweh, meaning, “I AM THAT, I AM”. The I am that, I am proceeds to instruct. In the story with Moses, Moses is somewhat reluctant and Yahweh is angrily reactive and rebukes Moses. In the end all is worked out.

Now Put another Way….”I AM THAT, I AM” was described in the book, “The Moses Code”, in the sense that this was a message or code given to us to use. Taken further If we look more closely at our own lives, I AM THAT…..pause., You see your creation around you…. I AM. God is not separate from you. Only the EGO views you as separate. To reveal your divine Conscious Self, God within you, there is a burning off that takes place. That is why it’s said that the flesh can not stand before the eyes of God, it would burn away. This burning off is the letting go of identity. The letting go of EGO. The revelation that the Physical, Mental, Emotional aspects that you had identified with are not you. To Hear GOD requires the silence of the Ego (presence).

Author Eckhart Tolle, “God is and God is omnipresent, in everyone and everything. A name, like all words, is just an abstract label, a “sign post” that points to a meaning: God is presence. God is real. “And what is God’s self-definition in the Bible? Did God say, “I have always been, and I always will be?” Of course not. That would have given reality to past and future. God said: “I AM THAT, I AM.” No time here, just presence.”

To walk with God is to see your own foot steps. It is this presence that one is to bring forward into there everyday existence. Add a little snake oil, you become anointed. This means Mesa, which means Messiah.

A literal of the word translated messiah (moshiach) is “anointed,” which refers to a ritual of anointing and consecrating someone or something with oil.[1 Sam. 10:1-2] It is used throughout the Jewish Bible in reference to a wide variety of individuals and objects; for example, a Jewish king,[1 Kings 1:39] Jewish priests,[Lev. 4:3] and prophets,[Isa. 61:1] the Jewish Temple and its utensils,[Ex. 40:9-11] unleavened bread,[Num. 6:15] and a non-Jewish king (Cyrus king of Persia).[Isa. 45:1]

Reform Jews believe there have been many messiahs—all the anointed kings and priests, including David, Solomon, Aaron, and Saul. Saul, the first king, is designated the “Anointed of the Lord”.[8]

Now we may have heard of Valences in science class as it relates to Electrons. Well we are no different as we are energy too.

So I am using Valence to describe our interactions amongst other Spirit Beings.

The people you hold closest to you in your valence are the ones that you have the closest line of agreement with. If the lines of agreement are not to the highest vibratory pattern then it is something else and manifests itself as something else around you. We all have valences with people. Some people have others closer in their valence than they have you on theirs.

Here is an example: You share  information to a friend that they were seeking, yet they discount the information you provide. Months later that same information is given to them from someone else and then the person is so amazed by it, shares it with everyone they know and was able to make a decision for themselves.

This is a basic example here.

There is nothing wrong with this, but it is important to see the valances you have in your life for what they are. We have valences that are inherited by family alone, not to mention your friends, work circles, gym circles, spouses circles, churches circles or social circles, etc.. This does not mean necessarily that your family or friends need or should be the closest to you on your valence. Let God be your chariot to help you establish these valences and what the lines of agreement are. You may be surprised in the end of what it means for you or them.

I have found that there are certain lines of agreement I want to maintain and others to put further out of my valence. You can do this by choosing to ignore a person or by addressing them with your choice. I found by addressing them and suggesting the new line of agreement gives opportunity for the other person to agree or not. Maintaining holding patterns of lower vibration does not allow or open the door for something greater to be established with in your inner valence.

In my experience I found that while on the path of living in truth that I had good spiritual teachers to help guide me along the way. The Line of Agreement I have with them is clear. They hold and maintain a pattern of Peace. That is why they are closest on my Valence.

To share, it takes 7 years for every cell in your body to be completely regenerated with it’s new DNA strands and information of who you are. That is why in blood analysis you can see someones past not show up if they have taken some massive shift in there consciousness that serves them for their higher vibration. For some people they change there lifestyle, whether it be food, stress on the job, or meditation.

Now how does all of this relate to Valence?

Well let’s talk about sex. For those who are not in a steady relationship there may be a tendency to have many interactions sexually with the opposite sex. So energetically you have committed a few volts of your life force to these different individuals for 7 Years.

Let’s look at the Ex-Boyfriend or Ex-Girlfriend thing as an example:

If one still maintains relations regularly with the ex-partner, then there is still a Line of Agreement you are still choosing to maintain. There is something Physically, Mentally, or Emotionally you are not letting go of or choosing to hold onto. Some of these can be subconscious patterns.

To make matters more interesting when you meet your new partner, you become one in volt disarray where a few volts of mental, emotional, and physical patterns are broadcast all over the place.

They only way this can be different is if your line of agreement is different.

Consider this. If ones focus changes when one meets their new partner, then the question begs, What is the focus towards?

I have recently had this realization myself and had to do the ecology check about what is I choose.

If one chooses the focus on God (god with in and out) rather than focus on the relationship one is clearly stating their First Love. From here God will direct the relationship. It always comes back to allowing God to be Your Chariot Driver.

The Valance with the Ex may look a little differently too when one chooses to take this path.

Being more clear on what is is you choose for yourself allow your friend or partner a choice to be in a Line of agreement with you or choose something else. Either way if the relationship continues or or not of no matter as one is choosing Life and Light first!
