H: Healing and Reintegration
Effective healing and reintegration requires the soul’s presence to intimately connect with the exile, hole or ego structure. Put simply, it requires taking the “healer” (the soul) to the “patient” (the exile, hole or ego structure).
G: Presence and Pure Awareness
The ego is a mind-created “problem”, so it cannot be “solved” by the mind. We have to use a higher level of consciousness – the pure awareness of our soul. Presence is embodied pure awareness – a palpable feeling of fullness within the body.
F: Destiny, Free Will and Karma
how much free-will do we have if we live most of our life on autopilot? Will is not free if it is bound by the effects of our conditioned behaviours. Will is only free if we have sufficient conscious awareness to use it in a considered manner.
E: The Human Condition
A human being isn’t a single entity, but a composite of several distinct yet integrated components. Each is an independent consciousness that operates on its own plane of consciousness, yet they all work together as a unified whole.
D: Two-Fold Path of Awakening
Before we can permanently rediscover our true-Self, we need to neutralise the “inauthentic” charge of our false-self. This involves Becoming Self (he psychological aspect) and Being Self (the spiritual aspect of the path).
C: Ego Structures & Holes
There are two main types of ego structure, each of which requires a different approach to healing and reintegration: (1) Protective Structures are created to protect us from the distressed exiled parts of our being. (2) Coping Structures help us to function in the world without our authentic personal qualities.
B: The Personality & Ego Formation
The degree of authentic personality that we are able to express is proportional to the number of ego structures we have, and the degree to which we are identified with them. Our true-nature shines out from the core of our being through our personality. If the personality is full of ego structures the light of our true-nature is blocked, so our expression is more likely to be inauthentic.
A: True Self, False Self and the Ego
The Self is both a field of consciousness and a point of consciousness, which is the core of our being. The Self (or monad) is the centre of our field of awareness (or soul), and our field of awareness (or soul) is an extension of our Self. The Self has two primary functions: Directing our life (intelligent will) and Experiencing our life (intelligent awareness).
17a: Spiritual Development
Consciousness develops by moving our awareness towards our soul or higher self. Freeing ourself from identification with our bodies is a particularly difficult and time-consuming aspect of our evolution. It can only be achieved by refusing to pay attention to the lowest impulses of our subtle bodies, i.e. negative feelings, emotions and thoughts.
16d: The Meaning of Life
The meaning of life is the evolution of consciousness, but it is not just a phrase or a concept – it is a way of life. It means making the most of every opportunity that life provides us with to facilitate the development our consciousness, and this involves the self-activation of ever-higher kinds of consciousness.
16c: The Law of Attraction
The phrase “like attracts like” sums up the law of attraction. Our minds are like magnets that attract whatever we give our continued attention to. Everything that comes into our life is attracted by the thoughts and images we hold in our mind. Our thoughts influence our lives, so whatever we think about most may eventually manifest.
16b: The Law of Karma
Karma is a Sanskrit word meaning “action”, but is generally understood to mean the consequences of one’s actions. The word “karma” is commonly used to indicate bad karma, and the word “merit” is used to indicate good karma. The law of karma is best described as “cause and effect” because every action (or cause) has a corresponding consequence (or effect).
16a: The Law of Destiny
The Law of Destiny determines which forces influence our life to ensure we encounter the life experiences that we require for our continued development of our consciousness. So, destiny is essentially a series of opportunities that enable us to learn lessons, acquire new abilities, develop our consciousness and help others.
14f: Mediumship and Channeling Explained
The subtle bodies of a medium are more loosely connected together than they are in a regular person. This allows the subtle bodies to be easily disconnected and enables a non-physical entity to take temporary control of the medium’s entire physical-etheric body or a large portion of their etheric body.
14e: Clairvoyance Explained
Clairvoyance is the ability to objectively perceive the emotional (astral) world, or above. I use the word “ability” with slight reluctance because clairvoyance is usually the result of a damaged etheric web. So clairvoyance could technically be classed as a disability, albeit one that confers some very interesting “abilities”.
14d: Psychic Abilities Explained
Numerous scientific investigations have been made into the validity of human psychic abilities. Many have yielded statistical results that were a million to one against them happening by chance alone, and a few have been in the order of a billion to one, which is pretty conclusive proof.
14c: Remote Viewing
Remote viewing is a mental faculty that allows a “viewer” to describe a remote location, known as a “target”, by acquiring information that is not available to the ordinary physical senses. Accomplished remote viewers can describe locations on the other side of the world that they have never visited and describe events that happened many years ago.
14b: Near Death Experiences
A near-death experience is a type of conscious out-of-body experience that occurs at a time of intense physical distress. The stages of a typical near-death experience (NDE) are listed in this article and explained from an esoteric perspective.
14a: Out of Body Experiences
Every time we fall asleep we have an out-of-body experience, but it is not a conscious experience. When we fall asleep our monad (self), along with our emotional, mental and lesser causal bodies, leaves our physical-etheric body. Exactly the same thing occurs in a conscious out-of-body experience (COBE), except the exit point is different.
13a: A Brief Overview of Reincarnation
After each incarnation, the subtle bodies of our personality dissolve in sequence over the course of many years so the pathways to their memories are lost to us. New subtle bodies are formed for each new incarnation but they have no connection with our previous lives, so essentially we are a new persona in each lifetime.
12b: Esoteric Knowledge of Dreams
This article describes the arrangement of the subtle bodies during dream sleep – the physical body sleeps but the etheric, emotional and mental bodies remain active. The events, emotions, thoughts, memories and lessons we learnt the previous day are all reviewed, reorganised and “backed-up” in our lesser causal body while we dream.
12a: Esoteric Knowledge of Sleep
When we fall asleep the monad (self) detaches the consciousness thread from the physical-etheric brain and leaves the physical-etheric body, usually via the solar plexus or heart chakra, causing the physical body to become unconscious. The monad’s consciousness becomes whole (meta-conscious) when it is free from the body’s etheric web.
10a: Introduction to the Seven Planes
The Seven Planes are seven densities of reality or consciousness that become evermore subtle. (1) Physical-Etheric plane, (2) Emotional plane, (3) Mental-Causal plane, (4) Unity plane, (5) Spiritual plane, (6) Divine plane and (7) Monadic plane This article describes the subtle planes/worlds that surround the Earth.
6b: The Constitution of Man
The Constitution of Man. The true-Self (monad or divine spark) operates and ascends through three triads – the personality, the soul and the spirit. The three triads can be compared to a ladder (Jacob’s ladder) which the monad climbs on the first stage of its evolutionary journey, from plane 1 to 7.
