SEE PLATE 4.

          Enlightenment has meant many different things to many different people. In the new millennium the word enlightenment takes on another meaning entirely. Enlightenment is the word we can use to describe the state of those persons who have aligned themselves with the higher vibrational rate now beginning to infiltrate earth. There is no mistaking who these people are, and they are called enlightened. These are the humans who have consciously altered the make-up of the cells of their bodies so that they can vibrate and operate with the higher energy newly available on earth. This takes years of preparation, perseverance, and patience. Once, however, the cells of our bodies have been changed over so that they accept and utilize this higher vibration, we appear to have a glow or sheen about us. Also, once we are in this enlightened state, others can sense or feel the higher vibrational rate when they come near to us. That is why it is said there is no mistaking those who are enlightened.
          Yogis have for many years practiced conscious changing the cells of their bodies. Never before on planet earth has this opportunity been available to so many nor has it been available in this particular way. Those who wish to take advantage of the opportunity that this new ray of energy brings us need only persist in daily breathing and visualization exercises, along with meditation and prayer. These exercises are geared to consciously changing the cellular make-up of the body so that we can accept and work with the higher vibrational rate.
          Once we begin on this path, it is important that we persist. It is important that we regard these exercises as sacred and prepare ourselves for the fact that we may need to continue for years before we reach this enlightened state with our entire beings. The rewards are great: excellent health, unshakable balance, clarity and wisdom beyond our current knowledge, compassion and love for all.

          It is necessary for every human incarnated at the time of this great transition to come to terms with the new higher vibration flooding the earth plane. Those of us who take the time to prepare can invite this new vibration to become a part of our very beings. When this new higher energy lives in every one of our cells, we are said to be enlightened.
          There are many ways we humans can incorporate this new ray of energy into our lives. The one thing we cannot do is ignore it, for ignoring this new vibration brings discomfort, illness, and probable death. This book provides many suggestions and exercises to help humans adjust and adapt in this time of great transition. We each need to find the suggestions that suit us and apply them to our lives.
          We shall begin by outlining the process for those of us who wish to affect the actual changing of every cell of the body so that we resonate to this higher vibrational rate with every fiber of our beings. This is the most thorough preparation we, as humans, can do, but it requires a commitment of years and must be approached with reverence and sincerity of heart.
          This exercise takes only a few moments, but must be done each day at the same time. The most appropriate time is right before sleep because our bodies do much rebuilding and regenerating while we sleep. Remember, it takes the human body seven years to rebuild or replace every cell, so we are talking about long-term preparation. In a relaxed position, we center ourselves using the alternate breath or the balanced breath. Then we visualize our entire bodies as lighted beings; see every cell alive with golden light. Simply breathe in golden light; see it going to every cell in the body. Breathe out and the light in every cell glows brighter. We hold this image of every cell glowing with golden light as we lie down to sleep. The golden light we visualize remains with us into the first hours of sleep and affects the transformation of some cells.


4/2/90

          It is important that we make this new higher rate of vibration our own. We must raise our energy levels to meet this new higher vibration. We must tune our entire beings to it. In this way, we are in synch; we are in tune with the flow of the great transformation. Each person is unique, so we must find the way best suited to each of us. Again, we emphasize that this new ray of energy cannot be ignored. It is affecting every molecule of the earth and all upon her.
          Here is another way we can raise our personal vibrations to align ourselves with the new higher vibration. Again this uses our tools of breathing and visualization. Our bodies need to be straight, either lying on our backs or standing with feet spread slightly for balance. Visualizations are most effective if we first calm and center ourselves by using the balanced breath. Once we are practiced in using this breathing to clear and center ourselves, we need only take a moment or two to achieve a calm and centered state. Next, beginning at the feet, visualize a spiral of blue light moving up the legs, up the torso, up and out of the head. See it sparkle as it swirls and spirals around the body. As we breathe in, we draw the spiral of blue light up and around our bodies. As we breathe out, we see it flame out of the top of our heads. After visualizing the spiral of blue light four times, use bright emerald green for four times. Breathe in and see the soothing emerald light spiral around and through us. Breathe out and see it, feel it flame from the top of our heads. After four times using green, move to bright sparkling pink light. After four times with beautiful pink spirals, finish by visualizing brilliant gold spirals of light circling around and through us with the in-breath, and flaming from the top of our heads with the out-breath.


4/3/90

          The adjustment of our bodies to this new higher rate of vibration can occur on many levels. There are those who actually change their cellular structure in order to tune completely to this new energy. Not every human can be expected or coerced to undergo the extensive preparation this requires. Yet some adaptation is necessary for those who continue incarnate on planet earth. We must raise our personal vibration to a certain level or we drop out of the energy flow of the planet and our present incarnation ceases.
          Awareness of the transition this new ray brings is the first step. Quickly changing circumstances make all aware that the earth is experiencing some sort of major transition. Though many of us are confused, we are spurred on by this rapid change to adapt.
          The second step is prayer. Confusion and rapid change bring the realization that we have little if any control over the whirling circumstances that surround us. We seek solace and guidance in prayer. If we pray with sincerity in our hearts, we receive the help we need to adapt to this new higher level of energy.
          The third step is meditation, for in meditation we not only calm and center ourselves, we actually raise our personal vibration. Teaching and practicing meditation must become widespread as we enter this time of transformation.
          For a more thorough tuning to this higher vibration, we can add the tools of visualization and breathing. The more steps we humans make on this path to a higher vibratory existence on earth, the more in tune we are with the changes, the better we adapt, and the healthier, more satisfying life we achieve for ourselves.
          Almost all humans make the first step of awareness, and many go directly to prayer. The next step to meditation is a big one. Meditation must be encouraged in all cultures, in all walks of life, for it is a mayor key to adapting to this new time.


4/5/90

          The illumined path is the path we follow on our journey to enlightenment. Those of us who are on the illumined path change our lives day by day. Even the smallest details of our daily life on earth are addressed and appropriately altered. The key here is slow but steady change.
          The process of changing every cell in the body is not as arduous a task as it may seem, although this process does necessitate daily attention. Focusing our conscious minds on this process for a few moments each day brings the steady change we seek. Those few moments we set aside for this each day are best taken in a calm, quiet space, such as the time following daily meditation. Each day as we devote a few quiet moments to the process of consciously changing our cells, we take a step on the illumined path. We find that we are refining and redefining our lives with each step.
          As we continue slowly, steadily on the illumined path, we find that we are eliminating from our lives all that is associated with low vibrations. Such acts as lying, manipulating, cheating, stealing, and willfully injuring others we can no longer do without instant regret. As we change more of our cells to accept the higher vibrational rate, we completely clear the possibility of such actions from our natures, from our very beings. Instead, our actions and reactions include compassion, forgiveness, selfless service, understanding, and love. These then become part of our natures as we move further, step-by-step, on the illumined path.
          It is important for us to remember that we can change only ourselves and our own cells. We can only inspire change in others by example, by simply living our lives on the higher vibrational level.
          Much protection and guidance are available to those of us who are on the illumined path, for the earth, as she nears the transitional time, needs many enlightened leaders.


4/7/90

          The enlightenment of the human race can be accomplished only with co-operation and mutual support. The first humans to achieve this state of new enlightenment are the teachers who help others raise their personal vibratory rates. It is through co-operation and mutual support of these first teachers that healing and instruction groups are formed. The students in these first groups then go forth to organize other healing and instruction groups, and so on, until every human on the planet has access to enough information to make the transformation to an enlightened state. It is the duty of each of us who learns to then teach and help another.
          The emotional climate on the planet is such that people are becoming more and more confused and disoriented as the rate of vibration increases. People are becoming ready to reach out for assistance. There is a point at which the vibration of the planet increases so much that no human can ignore it. It is then that these teachings spread quickly. It is then that the majority of humans incarnated at this time can adjust to the new vibratory level and find themselves enlightened.
          It is very important that the basic teachings be solid, but that there is also some flexibility. Each human needs to understand the universal truths as well as grasp the fundamental techniques for adapting to this new energy. We then need to apply these to our lives and ourselves. A good example is meditation. There are many ways to meditate, many forms to use, but the end result is always to achieve the alpha state, a centered state of relaxation, awareness, and balance.
          Now is the time for the first teachers to use this book and begin. It is important for us to support and help each other. Through exercising love and compassion, through these teachings, we can help in lifting the energy of the planet.


4/8/90

          Patience, perseverance, and prayer are all necessary as we begin to regularly and consciously change our cells. Each day we must pray with sincerity that we stay on the enlightened path. Each day we must consciously focus on changing the cells and tissues in our bodies. The exercises presented here must be used with regularity. Once we have selected an exercise that we find comfortable, we need to place it in our daily routine. It is best if we do these transformation exercises at the same time each day so they occur at regular intervals.
          Blessed exercise for the transformation of the human body: Choose one toe. Focus on that toe. Use the mind to go inside that toe. Focus in until the very cells of a tiny part of that toe can be seen in the mind's eye. Choose one cell now, and begin to encircle and bathe this one cell in brilliant white light. Continue until the cell itself is clean, clear, and absolutely vibrating with pure white light. Once this cell is pulsing with bright white light, see this white light radiate out to the cells that surround this first cell. Envision this in three dimensions, so that the white light spreads slowly in the form of a sphere. Picture the cells that surround the first cell also within the sphere of white light. See them begin to vibrate with pure white light. Continue visualizing this until the surrounding cells seem clear, clean, and transformed by the purifying white light. Now enlarge the sphere to include the cells that surround these transformed cells and repeat the process, making certain that each cell is crystal clear and completely transformed into vibrating brilliant white light. To complete this exercise, begin breathing deeply. On the in-breath, see the bright white light generated in the toe spread up through the body. On the out-breath, see the white light brighten the head area and flame out of the top of the head. Each day choose a different cell in a different part of the body with which to begin this exercise.


4/9/90

          This series of exercises on enlightenment is meant for those of us who wish to seriously undertake the process of actually changing the make-up of our cells. Those of us who wish to do this must be dedicated and disciplined. The rewards are great. Once the majority of our cells have been transformed, we can operate in tune with the higher vibrational level of energy now entering the earth plane. Then telepathy and other psychic gifts are ours for daily use. Making this higher vibration a part of our very selves brings us a new and deeper under-standing of the universe, stronger intuition, inner calm, and peace of mind beyond anything we now experience. We can actually be transformed into more evolved enlightened beings.  The keys to these exercises are daily attention and strongly felt sincerity of heart.
          Blessed exercise for the transformation of the human body: Sit quietly and comfortably. Focus on the breath. See the breath as golden light. Use the balanced breath to breathe in golden light and to breathe out golden light. Deepen the breath slightly. On the in-breath, see the golden light flooding the heart, the lungs, and the chest area. On the out-breath, see the chest area glow even brighter. Deepen the breath a little once again, and visualize the golden light permeating the entire abdomen area as well. Again, using the balanced breath, breathe in deeply until the brilliant golden light reaches every part of the chest and abdomen. The out-breath increases the brightness in these areas. Now breathe slightly deeper again, drawing the golden breath down the legs and into the feet and toes. Once the legs and feet are glowing brightly along with the chest and abdomen areas, breathe deeply and include the shoulders, arms, and fingers. Use the same process. Repeat as many times as is necessary to visualize the areas aglow with brilliant golden light. Complete the exercise by including the head and by seeing the entire body as a glowing lighted being.


4/12/90

          Enlightenment, which has come to few on earth until this time, is now available to many. Enlightenment of the many is the key to the transformation of earth. It is a few at first who attain this state of enlightenment. Then, through focused teaching, many more follow the practices that lead to enlightenment. The rapid spread of these teachings and practices and the sincere desire of humans to change our world and ourselves bring positive changes to earth.
          The exercises presented here are but one phase of the program that leads to enlightenment. The journey on the illumined path necessitates nothing less than complete transformation of our personal lives. Yet nothing less than this fulfills us as human beings. The further we travel on the illumined path, the more certain we are that this is proper, this is correct, this is the way we must proceed. When every breath that we draw, every act that we do, every moment that we are awake is filled with the knowledge that we are on this path to enlightenment, our lives are truly transformed.
          All of us can begin by making this journey to an enlightened state our very first thought when we awake each day and our very last thought as we lie down to sleep. Beginning and ending each day with thoughts of this illumined journey bring joy into our first and last conscious moments. It is important that we connect in this way on a daily basis, that this becomes a part of our routine. One way to help insure this conscious daily connection is to choose an object that reminds us of our journey on the illumined path, and then place that object where we are sure to see it upon awakening and upon lying down to sleep. Let us choose an object of beauty that harmonizes with our desire for personal transformation, an object that inspires joy and reverence in us. This object acts as a reminder to us, and helps us make the conscious connection to the fact that our personal fulfillment lies in our steady progress as we proceed on the path to an enlightened state.


4/13/90

          We can say that we are enlightened when a majority of our cells has been transformed so that these cells align themselves with and in fact even contain the higher rate of vibration. This takes several years of patient, sincere work. This may seem like a long process to us, but the rate at which we can achieve this transformation is actually much faster than it has ever been before here on earth. We are all encouraged to take advantage of this time and begin the conscious transformation of our cells, which leads to the transformation of all life on earth.
          There are many exercises that can be used to affect this transformation of our cells. It is up to us to find the procedures we are comfortable with and we can enjoy. Then it is very important that we persevere, that we incorporate these chosen procedures into our daily routine, and do them!
          Blessed exercise for the transformation of the human body: Sit or lie comfortably and relax using the balanced breath. We begin by visualizing ourselves inside a sphere of bright golden light. We see the luminescent gold light completely surround us. Next, the sphere begins to glow even brighter until the sphere itself, with us inside it, is entirely filled with brilliant golden light. Now we begin to absorb this light into our bodies and make it our own. We see the sparkling golden light pouring into our bodies right through the skin. We breathe it in, and, when we exhale, the golden light within us glows even brighter. We continue until we feel every part of our bodies, every cell, has absorbed this golden light. We see the light pouring in through the soles of our feet, in behind our knees, in through our abdomen, in behind the shoulder blades, into the heart area and the entire chest cavity, in through the fingers and the crook of the arm, in through the throat, the eyes, the ears, the nose, the top of the head. Now, we lie for a few moments, relaxed, seeing ourselves completely aglow with golden light, radiating this light from every cell in our bodies.


4/14/90

          If enlightenment is the transformation of our physical bodies and our earthly lives, then it is nothing less than revolutionary. This revolution, unlike most others on planet earth, is slow and gentle and filled with light and love. Like other revolutions, this revolution of light has leaders and followers. Unlike other revolutions, this one encourages the followers to become leaders and teachers, thus slowly and thoroughly spreading this revolution of light over the entire globe. This revolution makes all others seem insignificant because of its wide scope and great effects. This revolution of light has power and might above all other revolutions because it is being stimulated by an increase in the vibratory rate of the planet. The new ray of energy, which is bringing this higher vibration to the earth, is leading us to adapt our bodies and to revolutionize our lives. We are all touched; we are all affected. It is up to us to change and move with the times even if it means completely transforming our lives and life on earth as we know it. This is a true revolution.
          Although the details in our individual lives may differ, the overall changes are similar. The old form of revolution, which generally included fighting and bloodshed, fades away as this new revolution of light comes into its own on earth. In fact, war and violence come to be seen as undesirable all over the entire planet. This revolution of light brings with it the first golden age of true peace for planet earth. Also, a new respect for the earth and for each other as lighted beings becomes widespread.
          Not much in our lives is the same after this revolution of light. We develop new structures and new rituals in accordance with the higher vibration permeating the planet. We restructure our personal lives and our collective lives in accordance with the new ray of energy. With our co-operation, this revolution of light can bring great harmony into our lives and onto this entire planet.


4/15/90

          Lifting of the vibration of the earth and all who dwell upon her is a joyful process, and it brings much hope to the planet. The new ray of energy, which brings the higher vibratory rate to earth, is a gift from the Creator and, like all gifts from the Creator, we must learn to use it and work with it. This takes awareness of the gift, a sincere desire to work with it, and the patience and perseverance to follow through. All the guidance that is necessary to do this is available to us now. So, we have the gift of the higher vibration permeating earth, and we have the guidance necessary to utilize it to change existence on earth for the better. This is hopeful and joyful.
          We can experience this hope and joy every day as we consciously change our cells so that we can adapt to and utilize this higher vibration. The following exercise is for those of us who wish to experience joy while consciously working to change the cells of our bodies.
          Blessed exercise for the transformation of the human body: We begin by finding a comfortable position. Then we relax, bringing peace to our inner selves by using the balanced breath. Next, we visualize a spiral or pinwheel of light about the size of a fist in the heart area. This spiraling light is mostly white, but also has ribbons of bright blue and pink light whirling around. As we breathe in, we see this beautiful pinwheel of light increase in size and brilliance. As we breathe out, we see it spin faster. We breathe in deeply and see the radiant spiraling light glow brighter and fill the entire chest area. We breathe out and feel it whirr faster. We continue and include the head and abdomen in the bright spiral of light. Then we feel it reach above our heads and down to our feet. By now, the pinwheel of light is rotating so fast that it is a brilliant pulsing blur. We breathe very deeply for a minute more, and then relax and feel every cell in our bodies vibrate with bright light, exuberance, and joy.


4/16/90

          Following the practices to become an enlightened being takes dedication. We must continuously renew our enthusiasm. This is not as difficult as it may seem because, even after a short while upon this illumined path, we can see change in ourselves. As we move step-by-step, day-by-day, we can see progress. It may seem, at the outset, that changing every cell in our bodies is an arduous task. In fact, it is just the opposite; it is joyous and invigorating. We are doing nothing less than changing ourselves into light! Again, it must be mentioned that we make progress only through daily attention. Although changing the make-up of our bodies takes years, we can only approach this change day by day. Dedication through daily practice and devotion to this illumined path through renewed enthusiasm and joy; these are the keys to successful progress.
          Blessed exercise for the transformation of the human body: This exercise is best performed at dawn, for it calls upon the first light of the day to powerfully affect change in our bodies. To begin, stand facing the east with feet spread slightly for balance. Visualize a rod of golden light running down the spine and into the ground for further stability and balance. Call to the energy of the dawn light, either aloud or inside the mind, "Beautiful dawn energy of the east, please permeate every cell in my body with your golden light." Next, visualize brilliant sparkling golden light filtering down from several feet above the head. If this coincides with the first rays of the rising sun, it is a very powerful visualization. This sparkling golden light filters gently down both within and without the body. See it light the head area, the shoulders, and the chest. See it light the arms, the abdomen, the legs, and the feet. Breathe it in. Exhale and see the body glow even brighter gold. We continue until we see every molecule of our bodies glowing with brilliant golden light. If our intuitive timing is right, the rising sun bathes us head to foot in the first light rays of the day as we complete the visualization.


4/17/90

          An enlightened person is one who has transformed enough cells of the body to accept and work with the higher vibration. There is no mistaking those who have reached this mark, for they themselves vibrate at a higher rate, and others can sense this. An enlightened person emits a glow of white light that radiates several feet from the body. Those of us who are psychically sensitive can see this light clearly.
          It is indeed a slow, day-by-day process to achieve this transformed state, but the years of dedication bring many benefits. Health, exuberance, and seemingly endless energy come with this personal transformation, as well as a calm and a deep inner peace that radiates out to those around us. Psychic gifts such as telepathy, clairvoyance, and clairaudience are often in place and are being well utilized before the transformation to an enlightened state is complete. A person who holds and works with this higher vibration knows not violence, or selfishness, or greed, though others may perpetrate these undesirables. A person who has made the transformation to an enlightened state proceeds with integrity and undertakes all things with love, compassion, and a deep understanding of universal truth. This is because the majority of this person's cells hold this higher vibration which itself is universal truth and love.
          The amazing fact is that all humans now on planet earth have the opportunity to make this transformation. We all must deal with the higher vibratory rate permeating the planet. This book provides detailed instructions on how to make the most of this increase in vibration. These instructions, if followed correctly and with sincerity and perseverance, can benefit ourselves and also the planet, along with everything that lives upon the planet. It must be emphasized that once we begin on the illumined path to enlightenment, we must make this our life's work, and we must attend to this work with daily attention and renewal.


4/18/90

          Enlightenment is a one-way street. Once we begin on the illumined path, we are compelled to continue. That is not to say that we never have times when we feel we are not making progress or times when we seem to be going back over territory we have covered before. The general movement is forward on the path, however slowly.
          As we practice the exercises of our choice each day, we are affecting change in some of the cells of our bodies. Much change occurs on the subconscious level before we see it reflected in the conscious. It is important to remember that daily practice brings daily change, though this change may be subtle and minute.
          Blessed exercise for the transformation of the human body: We begin by placing ourselves in a comfortable position with our spines relatively straight. Next, we use the balanced breath or another breathing technique to quiet and center ourselves. Once we have relaxed and centered ourselves, we begin by moving the fingers of each hand one by one. This movement needs to be very gentle. Simply lift each finger a little one by one. Now focus on the very tips of the fingers and visualize a strand of brilliant golden light running into the tip of each finger. We can visualize these bright golden strands running from deep in the center of the earth to each of our fingers, or we can see them running from the sky to the tips of our fingers, or we can even visualize a luminescent golden sphere suspended before us, and run the golden strands from that to our hands. The important part is that we see these brilliant golden strands run into the tips of our fingers, through our hands, up through our arms and shoulders, that we see them fill our neck and throat, illumine the entire head, and end in a bright flame coming from the top of the head. Breathe in and see the golden strands running; breathe out and see them and the flame grow brighter. Now repeat this process, but start by gently lifting each toe. See the golden strands running into the tip of each toe, through the foot, up the leg. See them fill the abdomen, the chest, the throat and head area, ending once again in a brilliant flame at the top of the head.

4/19/90

          Enlightenment is a state of the body, a state of the mind, and a state of the spirit. Enlightenment encompasses the entire being. The effects of enlightenment are great upon both the individual and the life of the individual. The step to an enlightened state is an important and necessary one for humanity. Enlightenment is the way of the new age, the new millennium, and we must begin to understand it now because the transformation has begun.
          The increase in the vibratory rate of the planet is having a profound effect on people. Those who are particularly sensitive are feeling the need for adjustment and change. Those who are psychically active are receiving guidance and specific instructions on how to prepare themselves and help others. The planet is changing quickly, partly due to the activities of humans and partly due to the new ray of energy bringing the higher vibration to earth. The combination of these two forces is hurling the earth and humanity headlong into a major transformation.
          Following the steps, the daily practices, which lead to an enlightened state, is now extremely important for the survival of humans. The earth, by tuning itself to and adapting to this higher rate of vibration, is eliminating the lower vibrations. The earth is now moving to actually shake off the lower vibrations that have caused much distress. This is a necessary transformation in the evolution of both the planet and humanity. Those humans who do adjust and tune themselves to the higher vibration and eliminate from themselves the lower vibrations are the survivors on this planet. This is a crucial time. We must all pay attention to what is occurring and take the steps necessary for appropriate change in our lives. Fortunately there is an abundance of information available to assist humanity and to guide us all through this transformation. This book is one of many sources that exist for guidance in this time.
          It is proper to note here that instruction specific to each individual is best received by going within. Guidance from within each of us coupled with instruction from without provides us with all we need to adapt and prepare.


4/21/90

          There is a joyful ease about the enlightened person. Because the bodies of enlightened persons are tuned to the higher rate of vibration, they automatically move to universal rhythms and act according to universal truths. Through daily meditation and prayer, breathing and visualization, the conscious and subconscious minds of enlightened ones are transformed as well.
          Although daily meditation and constant refinement are necessary, we who strive for this enlightened state do eventually reach a plateau of ease. This place is reached when we have consciously changed the majority of the cells in our bodies and minds. It is at this point that struggle becomes ease. At this point, we begin to think, act, and react automatically with the universal flow. We are then vibrating at the higher rate, and we are, by the nature and make-up of our cells, tuned to the new ray of energy flooding the earth plane. Of course, it does take several years of conscientious application to reach this plateau of ease, but it is attainable for all of us humans who wish to try.
          Once we have reached this turning point in our personal transformations, we notice how much more light we have in our lives. Situations, which before would have caused us much distress and worry, are seen in this new light and fade into unimportance. We actually do radiate much light from our transformed tissues, and most people can sense this. A few can even see this light.
          The joy we feel once we have reached this plateau is immeasurable. We are then tapped into the higher energy of the creative force and this brings a new respect for everything on planet earth. Both our conscious and our subconscious minds are transformed, leaving useless thoughts and actions behind, and filling our minds and indeed our entire selves with this joy and light. Let us picture ourselves so, as we consciously move, day by day, toward this enlightened state.


4/22/90

          Following the illumined path step-by-step means incorporating selected practices into our daily lives. We choose the exercises that suit us, and we make them the cornerstone of each day. Our daily practice must be consistent yet adaptable, routine yet deeply felt. The few moments spent every day in prayer, meditation, breathing, and visualization are most important because it is during these times we are constructing our enlightened selves.
          The following exercise is especially suited for those who feel very close to the earth and her cycles. It is essential that those of us who choose this practice approach it every day with heart-felt sincerity and a deep love for the earth. It is extremely effective if approached in this way.
          Blessed exercise for the transformation of the human body: First we find a quiet beautiful location out-of-doors where we can place ourselves in a comfortable position. It is best if some part of our bodies can directly touch the earth. If this is not possible due to weather or location, then we must hold something of the earth in our hands as we proceed with this exercise. A quartz crystal that has been charged in the earth is ideal. Next, we use the balanced breath to calm and center ourselves. Then we focus on our deep love for the earth. We feel it swelling up in our hearts. We see it as glowing golden light in our chests. As we breathe in, this light expands. As we breathe out, it glows brighter. We continue until we feel our hearts literally bursting with sincere love for the earth. Now we take this golden light, which is shimmering and pulsing with love, and we visualize it pouring from our hearts into the earth. We see it form an arc of sparkling light. We see it pour deep into the center of the earth. We see this now as half of a circle. Now we visualize energy from the earth making the other half of the circle, coming from the center of the earth up and into our bodies entering between the shoulder blades. Breathe out: we send golden light deep into the earth; breathe in: we pull golden energy from deep in the earth up into our own bodies. The circle is complete.


4/23/90

          On earth, as the rate of vibration increases, all events escalate. This is one reason meditation is very important at this time. During meditation we slow our breathing and our heartbeat. It is not only a time of relaxation and rebalancing of our bodies' energies, it is also a time during which we detach ourselves from the quickening pace and the spinning events of the material world. We need this meditation time and this detached space in order to maintain a proper perspective on all events in our lives. We must remove ourselves from the whirl of physical plane activities on a daily basis. Meditation is one way to accomplish this.
          Meditation brings many other benefits to us, too. The time we take for meditation is sacred time, and must be regarded so. We must respect each other’s meditation time and space. We must encourage each other to take these sacred moments every day. We must do what we can to assist in the lives of others so that all of us have the opportunity to make meditation a part of our daily lives.

          Every moment we spend focusing on the illumined path is a moment well spent. Still, we cannot ignore the material plane, for we must make our way upon the earth as well. Every day we need to seek a balance between our inner work, our spiritual work, and our outer work, our duties here on the material plane. We have truly accomplished something when we not only balance the attention we give to the inner work and the outer work, but we also meld them together and view them as one.
          The very best way to approach any work is by breathing deeply. If we have enough oxygen and circulation, we are much clearer. Then we must approach the work, be it inner or outer work, from a selfless standpoint. This is not easy. Most of us are accustomed to being motivated by personal gain. What we must grasp is the fact that we indeed gain the most for ourselves in the long run by adopting a selfless approach to all our work. Of course, the work we do on the material plane must support us, but if we approach this work, whatever it may be, from the viewpoint that we are here to serve others and to serve the planet, then we are on the right track. Of course, we undertake spiritual work to refine and improve ourselves, to help us be strong and clear in the face of adversity, but a selfless approach here is immensely beneficial. If we proceed with our spiritual work with the attitude that we wish to be strong, centered, and clear to better serve the planet, then we are truly on the illumined path.
          We must allow time in each day to address both our spiritual and our material work. A daily balance is important. Of course, some days our material concerns take much of our time and energy. Other days we may have more time for our spiritual pursuits. As we approach each day, we need to make sure that our material responsibilities are tended to for that day, and we need to set aside an appropriate amount of time and energy for our spiritual work, such as meditation and prayer.
          We must take each day and regard it as a jewel unto itself. We can admire all its facets, all its variations. We take each day and hold it as precious, and do the very best we can, no matter what our priorities, no matter what our tasks. The jewel holds within it both the material and the spiritual.
          Along with balancing our inner work and our outer work, we need to integrate them. A selfless approach to both does much toward this end. If we are open and mindful of our spiritual work while we are proceeding with work on the physical plane, we can find many ways to apply our spiritual practices. Conversely, by operating with integrity and selflessness on the material level, we bring strength and verification to our spiritual work. We can turn inward to seek guidance with problems and challenges we face in the outer world. We can find signs and guideposts everywhere in the outer world that help us with our inner searches. The two are one. Our inner work and our outer work are one. Our journey upon the illumined path is one journey that includes our progress in our spiritual work and our progress in our material plane activities.

          It is a challenge for us, when confronted with a difficult situation, to face the problem with joy in our hearts. Often we dwell on the dark, the negative, the ominous possibilities, and do not see the entire picture. All problems bring us opportunities for learning and growth. The more difficult the situation, the more we can learn from it.
          We need to examine the problem thoroughly. This may take some doing, as the toughest situations often evoke strong emotions. If this is the case, we must first deal with these feelings. We must name these emotions and ask ourselves why this problem stirs such strong feelings in us. We must be honest with ourselves. It is possible, through sincere self- inquiry and visualization, to detach ourselves from the emotional content of the situation. This makes it possible for us to see the problem from a new perspective, and we can perhaps see many more sides to the situation.
          Once we have reached this detached perspective, we are ready to seek a clear path of action that may help to lead us not only to a constructive solution to the problem, but also to positive growth for ourselves. When seeking solutions, we must be free of desire for revenge. We must be free of selfish interests. If we act on selfish interests, more often than not, we find the problem worsens in the long run. This is why careful consideration must be given to any course of action. We need to meditate upon the situation. We need to ask, with sincerity in our hearts, that we be shown the correct way to proceed.
          Once we are free of selfish motives, have asked for guidance in dealing with the problem, and have a little patience with ourselves, we find that we know the steps to take. We know clearly what to do, and, best of all, we feel deep inside us that this is the right course of action. We know that the way we address the problem benefits all who are involved. When we look back on the situation, we see that, although it may have taken us some time to reach a clear perspective and to decide on correct action, we have grown. We have benefited. We can now approach the next problem with more joy.


4/28/90

          The enlightened person has many responsibilities in the material world. Any of us who reach an enlightened state of being must become involved in helping and teaching others. This desire to serve others is natural and automatic to those who reach an enlightened state. It is best if we who are on the illumined path understand and prepare for this eventuality.
          Once we set foot upon this path, we pledge to take a selfless approach to all we do each day. This is often not easy at the beginning, for we have been taught to protect our egos. There is a difference between acting from selfish interests, which may seem to benefit us in the short term, and acting selflessly which brings us long-term benefits. We are not advocating self-denial or martyrdom. We speak of simply serving others in a loving way that feels comfortable to us at the time. Serving selflessly means not expecting a return or reward. If we are operating from our heart chakras, this selfless approach to daily life is much easier. If we are stuck in the third or power chakra, we may fear losing control of our lives and resist undertaking purely selfless actions.
          As we journey, step-by-step, on the illumined path to an enlightened state, we incorporate more and more selfless behavior into our lives. As we proceed in changing the cells and tissues of our bodies, we incorporate this selfless approach into our very beings. As our bodies accept and hold more and more of the higher vibration now flooding the earth plane, we naturally evolve towards selflessness.
          We go slowly, one step at a time, moving at a pace that is comfortable to each of us. We must have patience with ourselves, for it is best if we move slowly and thoroughly. Changing the cells of our bodies is a slow process that takes years. We must press ahead with this daily work, yet be relaxed and joyful. As with all phases of our lives, we seek a balance here. Daily attention is essential to this process of transforming ourselves, yet we need to move ahead at a pace that feels natural and right. This is true also of incorporating a selfless approach into our daily lives. We do as much as we can each day with the knowledge that our ability and our desire to serve others increase naturally.


4/29/90

          Everyday, as we proceed on the path to enlightenment, we may see what we want to change in ourselves. It is important not to become frustrated because characteristics and reactions cannot usually be changed overnight. The very first step, and it is an important one, is recognizing those parts of ourselves that we wish to transform. Often we must stand by and watch ourselves behave inappropriately, acting again and again in ways that we sincerely wish to change. We must not get angry or impatient with ourselves. Instead, we need to transmute the emotions of frustration, anger, and impatience into a heartfelt desire for a thorough transformation of our beings. The second step is to truly wish for change in ourselves. Sincerity is everything in all that we do to this end. Once we recognize what we wish to change, and we desire deeply to affect these changes, we must be comfortable with the fact that this type of intense inner change takes time.
          Again, daily renewal of our purpose is essential. Each day we must align ourselves with the vision of what we wish to become. This can be done in several ways. We can pray on a daily basis for the changes we seek in ourselves. We can use visualizations, wherein we actually picture in our minds what it is we wish to change. We put a shape and a color to those parts of us that we wish to transform. For instance, if we tend to react in a hotheaded way and speak without forethought, we could picture this as flames shooting from our mouths. We then transform the visualization. Using the same example, we might see the flames turn into a spiral of pink light, which increases in size and then folds back over us, enveloping us in pink light. Another technique is the affirmation. We write out very clearly what we wish to become. We must state this in positive terms. This means we do not list our faults. Instead we state what we wish to be, and then we read this every day. We can transform ourselves into beings of light and love.


4/30/90

          The enlightened state of being is available to everyone. This is a new development on earth. This opportunity is being made possible by the new ray of energy, which brings with it the higher rate of vibration now permeating the earth plane. This opportunity for enlightenment for everyone is an essential step in the evolution of the human race. It is crucial that humanity as a whole acknowledges this opportunity and seizes upon it.
          Many are aware that the human race may not survive on planet earth. We are fast approaching this major turning point. Pollution and desecration of the planet do not end as long as greed continues as the major motivation. A reversal of the situation on earth and true salvation for humanity can come (only) with the help of this new ray of energy. Every human being must develop a new respect for the planet and for each other. This new attitude must apply to everything we think and say and do. Each of us must be transformed from the inside out. This new ray of energy makes this unique transformation possible, in fact, probable!
          This new ray of energy is a gift from beyond the veil. Its origin is beyond our knowing. Its presence and effects are undeniable. The instructions and knowledge contained in this book are coming in with the first major increase in vibration. All knowledge and guidance necessary for humans to make the most of the opportunity for enlightenment are being made available.
          The combination of the crucial situation on planet earth and the introduction of this new ray of energy is propelling us towards a major transformation. This transformation occurs both within each individual and without in society and on the earth as a whole. This opportunity brings new hope for the planet and for the human race, but we must pay attention. We must apply ourselves and begin to make the necessary changes in our lives. The energy and the guidance now exist for us all to do this.


5/1/90

          There are numerous ways to achieve an enlightened state, but there are a few constants, which everyone who wishes to tread the illumined path must undertake. The first is daily attention. Whatever procedures we choose, we must make them a part of our daily routine. The second is sincerity. We must approach all that we do to move towards enlightenment with the utmost sincerity. Sincerity is essential in all spiritual work. The third is selfless service. When we begin on the illumined path, we accept the fact that our lives, as well as our beings, are changing. Incorporating a selfless approach to all we do on the earth plane may mean major alterations in our jobs, our family situations, and our friendships. We must willingly accept the changes in ourselves and make the necessary changes in our lives on the material plane.
          There are many forms of meditation as well as many different visualization exercises for us to choose from. There are several breathing techniques, which work to quiet and center us and, of course, what we say in prayer is very personal to each of us. We can tailor the specifics however each of us chooses. In this way, the program we undertake which moves us step by step on the illumined path is comfortable and joyful to us. We can enjoy and delight in the exercises and procedures because they suit us as individuals.
          Since the journey to an enlightened state takes years, we may wish to incorporate a new visualization or try a different breathing technique as we proceed along. Changing and refining our daily program is not only acceptable, it is encouraged. We are changing, and so we may wish to change the techniques we are using. Some of us may find that our understanding and experience deepen as we continue with the original procedures we choose, and therefore find no need to change. Our sense of what is appropriate for ourselves increases as we move along the path. We can move along at our own speed in our own way. However, we must always attend to the constants: daily attention to the procedures we choose, sincerity in all our spiritual work, and selfless service on the material plane.


5/2/90

          We can greet each day with thanks in our hearts for the opportunity that has now been brought to the earth plane for all humanity. There has never been an opportunity such as this on earth. We are fortunate to be incarnated at this time, but we must take advantage of what we have been given. If we do not, we shall certainly see the demise of the human race.
          This is a joyful time filled with new hope and the certainty that we can make a major transition. We must put all our fears and worries behind us and apply ourselves to the practices that bring about this transformation on earth. The time is right, and the desire for change on the planet is strong. Once the changes begin in earnest, they spread rapidly, like wildfire, because the climate is right for a major transition. Global communications facilitate the awareness of this uplifting opportunity. Many teachers, both incarnate and discarnate, are in place and are ready to help all who seek to make the most of this opportunity.
          The transformation process is infectious. One person comes in contact with another who has made the transition to operating at the higher rate of vibration. The first person "catches" the desire to make this transition also. The second person can instruct the first or can lead the first person to a teacher who can then help.
          This joyful transformation does not spread only from person to person on the surface of the earth, it also spreads from the earth herself deep into the inner fibers of each human. Those who are close to the earth already feel the increase in vibration directly from the planet. The earth is our mother, our host. We cannot long ignore the messages she sends to us as we dwell upon her.
          There are also a few illumined beings who stand forth to help, to instruct, and to guide us. These enlightened ones coupled with increased guidance from beyond the veil give humanity all the instruction we need to make this great transition. The hope and joy available at this time are immense. It is time for us to immerse ourselves in the great transition.


5/5/90

          Comets are energy. Comets are beings. Some travel in a predictable orbit and some travel erratically. When a comet comes into view from the earth plane, it is a harbinger. Those that appear on a regular basis foretell changes on earth, just as those that appear to have no predictable path also do. Of course, there are always changes here on earth. Life on the material plane is a series of changes. The appearance of a comet says that a major global change is approaching.
          The ancients saw comets as harbingers, but they did not have the global communications and the worldview we do today. They could watch the flow of life in their villages, but did not have access to viewing the entire planet. Now, with this global view, we can watch major transformations as they envelope the entire earth. The expected arrival of a comet is like a pulse that says, "Time for major change here again." The unexpected arrival of a comet into our earth view foretells a unique and surprising transition that is about to occur on the planet.


5/6/90

          For the first time, the illumined path is open to all humanity now incarnated. This offers great opportunities and great challenges. Since all humans now alive are at differing stages of evolvement, there needs to be a great neutralizing factor. This is arriving as a new ray of energy that is capable of lifting the vibrational rate of all humans. It does not matter where we are in our growth process. We can respond to this new ray of energy.
          We humans must increase our awareness in several areas. Much has been said about the conscious and the subconscious minds; now we focus on our superconscious. The new ray of energy is providing a direct link for us between our conscious and our superconscious minds. Heretofore, the process was for communication from the superconscious to travel through our subconscious minds and then on to our conscious minds. Our evolvement was slower and often hampered by the maze of memories of prior experiences held deep within the subconscious mind. Now we are reaching a period of accelerated growth. The new ray of energy is providing for us the third side of the triangle which links the superconscious with the subconscious and now the conscious. Before now, connecting the superconscious directly with the conscious mind was possible only through years of yogic study. This great link is now available to all of us. Now we can tap directly into the higher mind, the universal force.
          This connection from the superconscious to the conscious brings many psychic gifts to humanity. Telepathy, clairvoyance, clairaudience, guided healing and more are available to those of us who wish to pursue them. This link is still new and still delicate, but we can strengthen it through meditation and prayer, visualization and proper breathing.
          It is time for all of us humans to be aware of this new connection occurring within ourselves. It is a gift, an opportunity to make a giant leap in our evolution both for individuals and for humanity as a whole.


5/7/90

          We follow the illumined path by conscious choice. Although this lighted path is newly available to all humans, not everyone chooses to follow it. Those of us who do choose to move toward an enlightened state consciously apply ourselves to this end. The link is made between the conscious mind and the superconscious, and we receive conscious guidance directly from the superconscious. This guidance comes in the form of psychic gifts such as telepathy, clairaudience, and clairvoyance. All of these psychic gifts bring messages to the conscious mind from beyond the veil.
          Those of us who follow the illumined path receive much help and guidance. This guidance assists us in making the many changes in our lives on earth, changes that are essential if we are to continue on the path. Let us be mindful of the many gifts, which are now coming to us on earth from the realms beyond. Let us be thankful and joyful, for all we need to make the great transformation is here for us now.


5/8/90

          Illumination is a gift, but it is also a responsibility. As with all talents and gifts, we must use them to serve others and, of course, the planet. There is extreme danger if, once we have reached an enlightened state, we choose to use it for self-gratification and other selfish purposes. If we do this, we are in more danger than if we had never begun on the illumined path at all. Selfish use of the power and magnetism that accompany the enlightened state multiplies our personal karma, and we become wedged in third chakra power struggles for incarnations to come. This is a mistake that must not be made on earth at this time. The very thrust of the new ray of energy entering the earth plane is to raise our vibrations and to lift us out of our seemingly endless struggles for power and wealth. Each of us who undertakes this journey on the illumined path must do so with knowledge of this danger and with dedicated resolve to move not only toward an enlightened state, but also toward a life of selfless service.
          For generations upon this planet, we humans have scuffled and struggled for material gain. It is now time to lift our heads and look beyond our material struggles to a blend and a balance of the material and the spiritual. It can be seen that much joy and satisfaction can be gained from this balance. By honoring the spiritual and bringing it into balance with our material concerns on the earth plane, what we need comes to us of its own accord.
          Even those of us who have been moving along the illumined path for years must continuously rededicate ourselves to a selfless approach to all we do. The use of increased knowledge, wisdom, power, and light gained from entering the enlightened state for anything other than selfless service is a dangerous mistake, one that we humans cannot afford to make on this planet at this time. There is a certain ease that accompanies selfless activities. We need to recognize this, enjoy it, and let it nurture our selflessness.


5/9/90

          Illumination is a responsibility for not only those who move on the path toward enlightenment, but also those who do not. This may seem strange to say, but those who choose not to undertake this study must support those who do. It cannot be expected that everyone incarnated on earth undertake the daily regimen that leads to enlightenment, even though this path is available to everyone. Those who do choose to follow the illumined path are to be respected and supported by all.  It is the responsibility of every human alive on earth to tune to the higher vibratory rate now infiltrating the planet. We must raise our personal vibrations to align ourselves with the new ray of energy flooding the earth plane. There are many ways to accomplish this, the most thorough being undertaking the daily practices that lead to an enlightened state. The decision on how we deal with this new higher vibration on the planet is ours individually, but collectively we must acknowledge and we must support those who are dedicated to following the highest path.
          It is those individuals who undertake the discipline and rigor demanded by the illumined path who lead and help us in the times of the great transition. It is for our benefit and the well-being of the earth that we protect and support these individuals. Without the guidance and help of those who follow the illumined path, the great transformation on earth may be extremely difficult, even disastrous.
          Of course, the more humans who undertake the journey to enlightenment, the better everything is for all humanity and for the planet. If we decide we want to follow the illumined path, we must set upon the journey with dedication, serious intent, and sincerity. Once we pledge ourselves and take that first step, forces are set in motion that align us with the new energy entering the earth plane. We receive much help and guidance to propel us along the path. Spirit guides and helpers intervene again and again to keep us moving towards an enlightened state. In fact, these helpers do not leave us alone, but continually and lovingly prod us along on our journey.


5/10/90

          Illumination is everyone's responsibility because we all must consciously choose whether or not to pursue it. The gift of the new ray of energy, which is increasing the vibration of the planet, demands that we consciously acknowledge the changes that are occurring on planet earth. We must then choose how we are going to deal with these changes, for they cannot be ignored.
          Pursuing the path to enlightenment is, by far, the best use of this new ray of energy. There has never before been a similar time on earth. Never before has such a great gift been given to the human consciousness. It is the responsibility of humanity to gratefully receive and conscientiously utilize this gift.
          Those of us who choose to follow the illumined path are given much assistance. This book provides specific information on how to begin the journey to enlightenment and how to reorganize our lives so that we steadily continue toward that goal. There are many benefits along the path, and, of course, many challenges, too. The pursuit of enlightenment is by no means easy because it requires dedication, sincerity, thoroughness, and perseverance on a daily basis. All of us who choose to follow the illumined path must reorganize our lives, although this is best done slowly. All of us who seek enlightenment must give ourselves in selfless service for the rest of our lives. This sounds like a tall order, but we find, as we journey further and further on the illumined path, that a selfless approach is natural to us. It is what the time requires; It is what the new ray of energy encourages. It is what the earth now needs.
          Although this book provides specific information, most of us have problems and questions as we venture forward on this journey. Assistance is available from many sources. There are many psychic teachers, including the authors of this book, who are prepared to help. As this information is dispersed around the globe, the network of helpers increases. It must be mentioned here that the very greatest assistance comes from within. Once we learn to listen to the inner voice, once we make the lighted connection between our conscious and our superconscious minds, we have access to information and assistance specific to us individually. We all have assistance from beyond the veil. We all have guides who are there specifically to help us. Once we dedicate ourselves to following the path to an enlightened state, these guides become very active, and most make conscious contact with us, if they have not done so already. Through meditation and prayer, we can develop a rapport with our guides. We can ask for advice on any matter and they provide universal wisdom.
          Once we have begun on this illumined journey, once we have proceeded on the path, we can feel the exhilaration of aligning our personal energy with that of the earth and the universe as a whole. We can feel the security of being looked after and assisted. We can feel the joy that is brought by this new ray of energy and hope.


5/11/90

          Love is necessary.  Love must be incorporated into all phases of the journey to enlightenment.  Letting love and compassion flow through us is one of the best ways to clear ourselves of blockages that hinder our progress on the path.  Love is essential. Generating love and surrounding all we do with love help protect us, ground us, and tune us to the higher vibration, for love is the highest of all vibrations.
          A reciprocal situation exists: as we generate more love within ourselves, we raise our personal vibration; as the vibrations of our beings become higher, love flows more easily through us and from us.
          The new ray of energy now flooding the earth plane is bringing the highest vibration that the planet has known. This new ray brings with it universal truths that have, before now, been incomprehensible to humans. Now, however, we can not only comprehend these truths, but also make them a part of our existence on the planet. The first of these truths is how powerful love is and what love can actually do especially when generated on the earth plane from the human heart. Love has the power to cleanse and renew. Love has the power to heal and regenerate. Love has the power to transform us as well as all we do.
          We can see love in a new way. We can see love as a high and powerful vibration, which we can generate and send out from our physical bodies. As we proceed on the illumined path, we continually tune and retune our personal vibrations, raising them even higher. We can use visualization and prayer to help us literally vibrate with love. We can become power stations, generating love.
          Love exists in the universe and on the earth plane whether we choose to tune to it or not. If we make the conscious choice to use our incarnated selves to generate more love, everyone benefits. The earth benefits as the vibration on the planet increases. We benefit as our vibration is heightened and our well-being is improved. All who come in contact with us benefit, as they bask in the radiant highest vibration of love.


5/12/90

          Love is the answer to many of the problems we face on earth today. When we humans learn to transmute our various emotions into love, the planet is indeed transformed. This again speaks of raising our personal vibrations to a higher level. If we can operate daily on a consistently higher vibrational rate, then it is much easier for us to respond to most situations with love and compassion. We can rise above the base emotions that are associated with the lower vibrations.
          We humans are extremely valuable to the transformation occurring on earth because of our ability to generate emotions, especially love. One of the universal truths now brought to human consciousness by the new ray of energy is the value of human emotions. Once humans realize how much our emotions affect not only each other but also the vibrational climate of the planet, we begin to pay more attention to these feelings.
          Once again it must be stated that all emotions are powerful and valuable, a truth that humans, until now, have failed to grasp. Now we are beginning to comprehend this truth. With the realization of the power of our emotions comes the responsibility for the feelings we do generate. We must remember that our emotions actually have an energy shape, form, and color. We generate these emotions and they retain their existence for some time, especially if they are reinforced.
          Love is the most powerful and valuable of all human emotions. All emotions are valuable in that they are human expressions that take an energy form and affect the vibrations of the planet. Love and compassion are the emotions that not only align with the higher rate of vibration now infiltrating the earth plane, but also help us attune to this higher vibration. Love is so important at this time!
          All emotions, no matter how base, can be transmitted into love. In fact, it is the responsibility of humans, especially those of us on the illumined path, to actively transform our emotions into love and to generate as much love as we can.


5/14/90

          It is essential for humans to understand the importance of this time. We are entering one of the great transitions on earth, one that sets the foundation for thousands of years. How we prepare and how we follow through on these preparations determine the very make-up of life on earth for the next great cycle. We have the opportunity to make great changes for the good of the planet and every life form that dwells upon her. We must, however, be informed, prepared, and so attuned to the changing flow of energy that our timing is perfect. These writings endeavor to help us accomplish this.
          Even thorough preparation does not ready us for every twist and turn of circumstances during times of great change. We must maintain openness to guidance and flexibility of action. We must always be ready to adapt, always ready to learn from the changing environment.
          There are no guarantees that we can turn this time of great change into a positive transformation for earth. There is the opportunity, but we must use our strength, our will, and our determination, along with our patience, perseverance, and preparedness. Those of us who wish to turn this opportunity into positive changes for the planet find that every day there is something we can do. For one, we can employ visualization and create thought-forms and emotions, which can help carry the planet toward specific positive changes. For another, we can in our daily interactions affect positive change through our words, actions, and selfless service.
          The task is great. We must constantly pay attention. For many of us, this work is the most important and powerful work in many lifetimes. We are dealing with not just our personal karma, but also the karma of the planet and of humanity as a whole.
          The decisions we make and the work we do now during this great transition affects the earth and all upon her for centuries to come. The incredible importance of this time must be grasped by all of us.


5/15/9O

          The illumined path is very near each of us because it is within us. Those of us who are seekers may have already discovered this truth. It is essential that we apply what we learn on the illumined path to our material lives, but following the illumined path is an inward journey.
          All of us upon this planet need quiet time to go within ourselves. Daily meditation is the best way to satisfy this need. Whether or not we decide to embark on the journey to enlightenment, we still need quiet meditation time, especially now as the vibrations of the planet are increasing. The faster events move and the more confusing situations seem, the more we need to remove ourselves for a short period each day. Using meditation to go within ourselves is the very best way to do this.
          Learning and practicing meditation are the first steps on the illumined path to enlightenment, should we choose to undertake this journey. Daily practice is essential. The exact form of meditation we choose for ourselves does not matter as much as daily practice. In fact, we need to search until we find a form of meditation that suits us individually, one that we feel comfortable with and can grow to love.
          Widespread practice of meditation is one of the absolute essentials in making the great transformation on earth a positive one. Meditation now applies to everyone's life. Daily practice of meditation opens many doors, both within ourselves and in the outer material world. The benefits are numerous.
          Learning and practicing meditation are the first steps to more than the journey to enlightenment. They are also the first steps to a transformed planet. They are the first steps into a new millennium and into a new age. The more of us on earth who practice meditation, the more the vibration of the planet moves toward peace, compassion, and love.


5/16/90

          All the beauty that we see around us, great and small, can inspire us to send love to the earth. Everything from the simple song of a bird to a majestic sunset over a mountain range can connect us to the magic of this planet. We need to open our senses and use them to appreciate every detail of the wondrous creation called earth.
          The earth now needs us to help her. The physical ways we can help are obvious: not polluting and cleaning up what we have polluted; not destroying and regenerating what we have destroyed. Beyond this, the earth needs emotional rejuvenation. For far too long we humans have approached the earth with disrespect and with callous disregard. It is past time for us to change our attitude and our approach to the planet. For one, we can begin to see and feel the earth as an entity, a being, an individual like each of us. We can begin to interact with this being on a one-to-one basis. Some of us already have very personal relationships with the earth. We can see and feel her as our mother, our host, our friend. If we approach her in the correct way, which is with love and respect, she can teach us a great deal. If we all develop a deep caring personal relationship with the earth, then great healing and rejuvenation can occur, both for ourselves and for the planet.
          Here is something we can do on a daily basis to promote strong ties between the planet and ourselves and to help with the healing process. Every time we notice something, even the smallest detail, of the wonder and the beauty that this planet gives us, we can send love to the earth. Simply visualize our hearts glowing with love for the planet. Visualize the light in our hearts as gold or pink, but see it and feel it strongly. Then send this love in a brilliant stream of light from our hearts right into the center of the earth. The more emotion we possess while doing this, the better. If we do this simple exercise with sincerity, we help ourselves and the planet in many ways.

          Once we have undertaken the journey toward enlightenment, we need to connect with others who are on the illumined path. This is necessary not only for mutual support, but also for strengthening the positive use of the higher vibration now entering the earth plane. For some of us, contact with others who are also on the illumined path inspires and motivates us. It is helpful, especially for those of us who are just beginning, to experience the higher vibration brought by the presence of those who have followed this lighted path for several years. It is absolutely essential that those of us who have undertaken this journey to enlightenment teach and help others who are interested in doing so. Once we embark on this journey, we automatically commit ourselves to selfless service, and one of the best ways we can serve is by helping others who are on the illumined path.
          We all need much support and encouragement along the way, but the beginning is especially important. Always at the beginning we have much to deal with because we must reorganize our lives. Also, we must enter upon the path with the proper outlook and attitude. Contact with others on this journey can help insure that the beginner understands that sincerity is essential in this undertaking. Also, the beginner can easily see, through interacting with others who have progressed on the illumined path, that this is a journey of many years, and it must be started with an eye toward self-discipline and perseverance.
          There is something else besides mutual guidance and assistance that is accomplished by contact and communication between the travelers. When those who are on the path to enlightenment gather together, there is an increase in the vibratory rate of the group and also of the individual participants. Gatherings are very helpful to beginners, for they can personally experience the higher vibration brought to the group by those who have been on the path for years. In these gatherings, the best use of this higher vibration is always emphasized, and the group generates much good will and love.

          How we respond to the increased vibration on the planet is extremely important. The earth has raised her vibrational rate in a similar way before. The increase and decrease of the planet's vibration are cyclic, though difficult for humans to comprehend because these cycles are so huge. As is the case in the present day, in former times when the vibration of the earth increased to its highest rate, there occurred great transitions. As is the case in the present day, in former times there was always the opportunity to find the true meaning of these transitional times. There was the opportunity to understand and prepare, as there is today. It must be stated here that not one of the ancient civilizations, which were faced with the intense transformational time on earth, adequately understood or prepared for the transition. There were a few who were wise and understood the significance of the time, and they prepared as best they could, but the civilizations as a whole were lost.
          There is one factor that is different this time as the earth moves toward her highest vibrational rate. This factor is the new ray of energy that is a gift to the earth from beyond the veil. It is actually a gift to humans to help us tune to the increased energy on our planet. This ray helps the earth as well because it encourages humans to generate love, compassion and respect towards the earth, and this is exactly what the planet needs in her time of great transition.
          We who are incarnated on earth at this time are blessed with an exciting opportunity never before available on this planet. We can, by thorough study, understanding, and preparation, make this transition an incredibly significant and uplifting transformation for the earth and humanity alike. It is up to us, however, to seize this opportunity, for if we do not, we need only look to former times to see the result. We have much help and guidance now. We can do this.

          It is not necessary to embark on the voyage to enlightenment to make positive use of the new ray of energy entering the earth plane. We must state again that following the illumined path to an enlightened state is the best use of this new ray, but this journey necessitates dedication, discipline, perseverance, the utmost sincerity, and a selfless approach to everything. For those of us who feel we cannot make such a commitment, there are other ways we can tune to this new ray of energy and make constructive use of the opportunity it brings.
          We can raise our personal vibration in accordance with the increased vibratory rate of the earth and with the higher vibration brought by the new ray. We begin by consciously acknowledging that we wish to exist in harmony with the planet and the new energy now here. We then find a little time in each day to tune to this new energy. There are many ways to do this, so we all can find an avenue that suits us. Daily meditation and prayer are at the very top of the list, for there are no undertakings more beneficial than these. In prayer, we simply ask that our minds and bodies be open to the new higher vibration and that each day we move toward greater harmony with it. In meditation, we relax and open ourselves to this higher vibration, taking care to ground ourselves first.
          Here is another way for us to tune to the new higher vibrational rate. This uses breathing and visualization, and should be practiced as often as can be managed. We must stand directly on the earth. The less there is between us and the actual ground, the better. Standing with bare feet on the ground is best but not always possible. Stand with feet slightly spread for balance, and visualize rods reaching deep into the earth from the arches in our feet. Send a third rod from the base of the spine for stability. Picture these rods going at least 80 feet down. They anchor and ground us securely. We need to make these rods out of a material we like, but it is best if we visualize them made of something that exists naturally on the planet, such as iron, wood, or gold. Next, we visualize ourselves standing in a ray of brilliant white light which streams down from above us. Our entire bodies are completely bathed in this ray of bright white light. Now we add the breathing. We inhale very slowly, very deeply, through the nose and the mouth. As we do so, we see ourselves pulling golden light up through the rods, up from the earth into our bodies. We also breathe in the white light streaming down from above us. We pull the white light in from above and the golden light up from below to a spot just above the navel, the solar plexus. As we breathe out, we visualize the gold and the white mixing in a sparkling spiral in the solar plexus. We inhale the white light from above and the golden light from deep in the earth. We exhale and see them glow even brighter as they mix, spiral, and whirl in our midsections. We continue this exercise, breathing slowly and deeply, until we feel the entire body tingling with the new welcome higher vibration.

          Following the illumined path, rigorous though it is, offers many rewards. Likewise, we find our conscious efforts to adapt our personal vibrations to those of the earth and the new ray of energy very beneficial. The secret to receiving benefits in both cases is perseverance. Whatever we choose to do, whether it be to undertake the journey to an enlightened state or to move to adapt ourselves to the higher vibration now on the earth plane, we must incorporate our efforts into our daily routine. We must keep at it. In both cases, we are altering our very beings, and this takes consistent action over time.
          Every human on earth must deal with the increased vibration on earth. All must acknowledge its existence and move to adapt somehow. Whereas some adaptation occurs automatically through the subconscious mind, our conscious efforts to change and adapt are the key to a successful transition on earth. As we have mentioned before, the opportunity here is very great. We have only the smallest glimpse of the possibilities of this time. We must trust our instincts, trust the universe, and move ahead by applying our conscious efforts to whatever procedure we choose. This is the most important work on the planet at this time, for the future of the earth and of humanity depend on how those now incarnated handle this great transition.
          Awareness of this transition and the opportunity it brings is essential. It is, of course, the first step, and it is the major reason for this book being written. Those of us who are aware must help others become consciously aware. Running about sermonizing is not the best approach, for others may dismiss us as fanatics. Instead, we suggest the following. First, we must remember that the increased rate of vibration on earth affects everyone, including those who are not consciously aware. Second, let us set an example by our own behavior. The more we tune ourselves to the increased vibration, the healthier, clearer, more centered and more energized we are. Others, especially those who are ill or uncomfortable due to the higher vibration, then come to us and ask us. We can then help them become consciously aware.

          When undertaking the path to enlightenment, we must begin with the utmost sincerity and with an eye to the journey taking a number of years. It is very important for those of us on the illumined path to be able to sustain our practices for years. That is why the sooner we incorporate these procedures into our daily routine, the sooner we become comfortable with them, and they become an inseparable part of our daily lives. Of course, our lives change over the years, and so do our daily routines. It is essential that, no matter what changes, we continue the practices that further us on the illumined path. We must consider this work our priority.
          Those of us who undertake the journey to enlightenment with sincerity and dedication are truly blessed. No matter what changes in our lives, we can be assured that the universe is caring for us and nurturing us in a way beyond our knowing. This is the most important work now being done on the planet, so those of us who are involved are guided and protected. We must hold in our hearts the knowledge of the importance of this work. We must hold in our minds the assurance that no matter what occurs in our lives, there is a way for us to continue this process to enlightenment.
          We can look ahead to a time when we have consciously altered our cells and we can resonate to the higher vibration with our entire bodies at all times. It is then we can say we have reached an enlightened state. It is then we are called into service for the earth and for all humanity.
          Once we have become lighted beings, we possess many powers and talents with which we can help others. It is absolutely essential that we employ these powers and talents in selfless service. There is much for us to do. We can teach. We can heal. We can bring joy, love, and compassion to a planet that sorely needs it. We can make a difference in the lives of many, and help others tune to the higher vibration now flooding the earth plane. It is our work as enlightened beings that leads our planet through this time of transition.

          This series of writings on enlightenment is meant to instruct and to encourage all interested humans to undertake the illumined journey. The more of us who choose to set forth upon this path, the better for both the planet and the human race. Never before have the steps to an enlightened state been made so accessible to all humanity. The opportunity is great indeed, and it exists for all who wish to pursue it.
          This unique opportunity has been brought to the earth plane at this time because we humans are at a crucial turning point in our evolvement. The development of our intellects and our scientific knowledge has reached an all time peak. Now we need to balance these accomplishments with similar strides in the psychic and spiritual fields. The introduction of the new ray of energy onto the material plane here on earth brings with it all that is necessary for each of us to make significant psychic and spiritual breakthroughs.
          The whirlwind of events surrounding the escalation in vibration on the planet makes it obvious to everyone that the earth is involved in a major transition. This great transformation is so complete that it affects every molecule in and on planet earth. Every human incarnated now must come to terms with these great changes. Many seek order in the chaos, but only those of us who turn within ourselves find peace and stability.
          The key for all humans in this time of great transition is turning within for guidance. Every one of us has the opportunity to realize this. All of us can turn inward for assistance. Meditation and prayer are essential tools in this process.
          There is a new opening of the human consciousness at this time. We can expand the way in which we see, hear, and feel through seeking inner guidance. We can make connections through the veil that have not been possible on such a large scale before now. The potential of this time is very great.
