Matthew 17:19-20 reads: “The apostles came to Jesus in private and asked him: why couldn’t we drive the demon out? – referring back to an earlier incident in Matt 17:14 when the apostles could not heal a boy. “Because you hadn’t enough faith” Jesus replied, then he said: “I assure you that if you have faith as big as a mustard seed, you can say to this hill go from here to there! And it will go. You could do anything”.

Earlier in Matthew 17:17 Jesus said “How unbelieving and wrong you people (mind-sets) are! How long must I stay with you (remaining in lower-self nature)? How long do I have to put up with you?” In other words, how long more will we choose remaining under the domain of finite mind in preference of Infinite Son of God status.

We’re unbelieving while in spiritual ignorance. Thus the boy is symbolism of our non-spiritually quickened soul in need of awakening into conscious contact with our Higher Self dimension.

Other scriptures use mountain instead of hill “you could say to this mountain be gone into the sea and it would be gone”. Mountain in scripture is Higher consciousness. When human consciousness becomes transformed into Higher consciousness, it is gone into the sea – the equivalent of faith-filled consciousness – when intentions through this state of mind come about. A spiritually rooted person will live faith naturally, enjoy an unbreakable link with God regardless how big the so-called problem or goal – Mountain will either give, heal or sprout new understanding in tandem with heart-felt intentions.

The mustard seed story is about coming upon hidden faith ability and its development into an unshakable, irremovable level of Mountain consciousness and its expression. This scripture is not about having faith already. It’s about how, from tiny beginnings, the mustard seed births and expands into ever-present levels of Godliness, into never waning or fading soul values.

The reason the apostles in Matt 17:19-20 could not perform healing was because left-side brain was dominating, which is why Jesus said: “of myself (ego) I can do nothing”.The apostles were asleep in how directly experiencing faith-nature is come upon.

The apostles going to Jesus in private is symbolism of personal meditation, entering into the boundless silence of soul. Jesus is symbolism of our own awakening-wisdom, the inner Teacher guiding us to our own Christ within.

Concentrated Seed Faith.

Let us consider a seed — any seed. Seed is the most concentrated faith-filled unit of creation. It produces only what its designed for, nothing else is possible. Being the smallest of all seeds, Jesus selects the mustard seed for his story of explaining how boundless faith is intended to grow and expand from tiny beginnings within consciousness. But while existing in concentrated format within each soul, faith requires awakening, tapping into — germination. In this context, the deep silence of meditation, amounting to the unmanifest seed faith, transmutes into manifested faith-consciousness.

The actual seed, though, is somewhat bigger than a mustard seed, more pea-size and located in the center of the brain, it’s called the Pineal gland. In many religions, this gland is portrayed as a Pine Cone, including a bust-size statue in the grounds of the Vatican – strange how this is never referred to in their teachings.

Biblical faith clearly is not about a strong faith in this and lesser in that, for, being all-pervading, faith is not conditional measurement allocation. While remaining constant, concrete, faith is ever-active, ever abstract fluidity in its all-encompassing dynamical silence — as in, water taking the shape of any pipe, such as “Jesus stooped and wrote in the sand” meaning, expression in whatever faith capacity we have achieved.

Faith in action is constantly transforming consciousness into ever-higher spiritual dimensions, tirelessly nudging the soul into ever-perfecting levels of human love, into total experiential amercement of Christ-consciousness and its expression at one’s own level.

Thus, faith is alchemized silence brought about by repeated meditational transcendence — of entering into the Pineal gland — a process which transmutes human ego. Experiencing transcendentally is beyond ego, an act of will or mental effort, rather its by natural infusion of bliss into the very nature of the mind — a state which knows no opposite,

Although the physical seed is situated in the brain as the Pineal gland, germination or activation is initiated through the root chakra at the base of the spine and subsequent rising of Kundalini life force into the brain. It’s this root chakra opening which triggers the five other spinal chakras into opening, culminating in awareness entering the Pineal gland and divine seed-nature sprouting. Once this process is commenced faith-journeying into Higher realms has truly begun.

Biblically, awakening Kundalini is equivalent of John the Baptist and the One which follows – the One which follows is baptism into directly experiencing Christ-consciousness, which is faith.

Healing and Everyday Faith

Healing is not a single life-event, where, once achieved, further spiritual development can be ignored. This can happen when healing is attained by visitation to particular shrines, pools or by intermediary – where some-one or holy venue bypasses our own “unbelieving” level. In such cases, people’s expectations become raised in advance, which the brain translates as faith; and while there may be a healing, this is not the Bible’s mustard seed of faith. To faith-mimic we can of course accentuate joyous feelings by becoming animated in visioning specific desired outcomes as happened – thus natural happiness is indeed a potent healing force – but it’s not real faith. Casting demons out permanently is by transformation of consciousness, by consciously coming upon Mountain Silence, upon Higher Self-consciousness, when purification of mind, body and soul occurs leaving no opening for depressed feelings to form new or repeating dis-ease.

In other words, using an onion to generate tears is not emotional crying!

In the early stages of mustard seed expansion, much casting out is taking place without awareness. It’s when subtle realignment of our thought processes are taking new shape, when mature understanding and soul perceptions are forming an Abiding state for further thoughts and intuition of a Higher Realm to dwell.

As we advance further in meditation practice, realization of Higher consciousness becomes acutely tangible. Through awakening of pivotal mechanisms in the brain and spinal column, newer levels of exhilarating health and well-being present in consciousness, manifest in body – when struggle and effort begin releasing their grip.

In the early stages of spiritual development, we may feel that a strong faith in certain biblical characters or historical events is required or insinuated in this mustard seed story. But, no, this is not what this scripture is about: Jesus is NOT asking that we have faith in him, a philosophy, a place or any other person. The asking message is about Self Realization, that we come upon our innate capacity of soul-faith, our own out-pouring Self-refer Mountain for instantaneous living of a Self-healing life. To this end, we’re reminded: “the apostles got into the boat and went to the other side” – boat meaning meditation, and, other side, meaning transcendence into right-side brain, abiding home of faith-nature.

12 Cranial Nerves and Healing

Once cognized as NOT meaning 12 historical men, and that the apostles are symbolism for the 12 Cranial nerves in the brain, then new understanding begins unfolding rapidly. The 12 apostles are 12 qualities of the soul — aspects of human consciousness for integration and healing. These 12 spiritually-serving nerve centers – responsible for almost every bodily function — along with the five Chakras in the spine and two in the brain, are the soul’s receptor or diffusion points for bodily interaction of cosmic energy, thus is how soul-focus and well-being for optimal spiritual growth is maintained.

The reason the apostles could not drive out demons was because the 12 Cranial nerves were non spiritually functioning – absence of direct faith-consciousness. Its only when these consecrated centers are performing as intended, in conjunction with the chakras and glandular system, can spiritual nature develop practically.

The demons, having their origin in deeply rooted generational handovers, consequent of previous lives’ non-soul serving Cranial nerves, are myriad and complex, beyond the scope of modern-day psychology. The spiritually asleep state of these vital centers is what keeps demon consciousness in place — stuck in ordinary human consciousness – in the birth, death, rebirth cycle of suffering. And is why Jesus said “I will rebuild this temple in 3-days” –symbolism of spiritual restructuring of the brain. Here “3” is not an aggregate of earth days but symbol of divinity, Unity.

This also is why the apostles – Cranial nerves — went to Jesus in private, meaning engaged in silence meditation thereby awakening these divinely appointed alchemy centers for rebuilding the temple, the brain, through Unity consciousness.

Does a Tree Have Faith?

Yes, on its own plane of existence. Similar to humans, trees undergo healing on a daily basis, but in different ways. A tree’s eco-system consists of roots, branches, leaves and trunk. In the tree’s case it’s Sap which heals. But, we may ask, from where does Sap come? The answer is, Sap comes from a source beyond the tree; its drawn in from earth Nature through the root’s tentacles. The tree does not manufacture Sap. Having come in through the root system, Sap is distributed throughout the entire tree, weather healing is required or not. So long as roots remain “watered”, then roots maintain capacity of Sap distribution. The root is the conduit, the instrumentality through which Sap flows into the whole tree for instantaneous healing and growth.

If you ask a tree what time it is, the tree will say, it is Now!

Healing of a tree is an act of single-mindedness, of present moment functioning. On the other hand, humans live in time, space and causation, plus ego personality. Thereby, unwittingly, through repeated negativity and unloving nature is interference with spiritual growth taking place. Whereas the tree does not stand on the hose while being watered, humans can through endless stress and worry about past-future.

But, what happens when there is no rain-fall to water the roots? Well, this is where the good gardener comes in – he / she waters the roots personally, thus maintaining Sap flow. So long as the roots receive nourishment, then Sap flows unabated.

Conversely, with humans, there are two forms of healing. One, the innate healing intelligence within the body – which, similar to the tree, heals scar-tissue and other bodily / trunk parts – which does not require faith for functionality. But the faith mentioned in scriptures is about a state of faith consciousness and its transformational power of taking carnal mind beyond suffering into divine Mind. Faith consciousness is about first awakening the mechanisms which initiate transformation from spiritual ignorance into conscious connection with Truth -Truth meaning that which never changes, eternal consciousness.

Transitioning of awareness into Truth commences in the head (meditation) progresses to opening the first chakra at the base of the spine then returning up along the spine back to head / heart for permanent establishment of consciousness. This process — known as Kundalini rising — is how faith-nature becomes resolute consciousness.

In human terms, the very same principle of watering the tree’s roots apply, only, it’s the mind which is watered. Watering the mind is entering into communion with pure silence in meditation which naturally awakens the tentacles or channels of the soul – the Kundalini – allowing for healing of emotional scars and generational and peer conditioning to take place. Thus, converged silence is which expands from tinny mustard beginnings (birth of Christ within) into boundless transformational faith-consciousness — abiding state for further thoughts and intuition of a Higher Realm to dwell.

The Mantra and Mustard Seed Faith

Luke: 9-48 puts it “for he who is least among you all (converged intellect) is the greatest”.

Mantra is a word-sound, a vibration used for creating calm and silence in the mind. Like water and air, the mantra is neutral and works naturally with all people regardless of religion or none. At practical level, mantra achieves Luke: 9-48 in that, gradually the intellect reduces from gross levels of thought to the smallest of the smallest – least of the least, the mustard seed – resulting in expansion of human consciousness into transcendental pure consciousness or unconditional faith nature. In other words, when during meditation, intellect is reduced to its least, a new dynamic is born, a new connective wavelength infuses or vibrates into awareness: spontaneous calibration of mantra sound into thought expansion resulting in faith consciousness. Thus the mustard seed mushrooms into Mountain Light, Transcendent Experiencing, when soul-flow Essence is freed from the bondage of cyclical darkness.

Often referred to as the law of thought increase, this expansion of thought – mantra is a thought — is commencement of Ascension out of lower carnal mind, when ego-centric mind becomes Spiritual Mountain. Mountain is now Alive, thus thought-feeling nature becomes hugely sensitive, hence the need for thoughts to be positive with regard to self and others — “Lead us not into temptation” (ignoring cosmic law) – Lord’s Prayer.

In conclusion

Thoughts, Watching and Faith-Seeds

As maturation of faith consciousness develops, expression of thoughts become equivalent of faith-seeds in action — potent tool moulds – in that, whatever vision or heart quality the thought is filled of, is what comes about. “Whatever ye ask for in my name, (love nature) believing ye have it, (resolute faith) I give you my word (Law) it will come about” Mark 11:24. Through the law of thought increase – go forth and multiply – every intentional faith-filled thought expands from tiny infancy into manifestation of the intentional feelings or emotions generated.

In biblical terms, planting a seed in the field is the same as planting a thought in mind – field is symbolism for mind. The imperative being, keeping our thoughts divinely orientated for use through ever maturing faith, for good only. Watching allows conscious control over random and meaningless thoughts entering the mind. It further prevents from being unduly influenced by others’ thoughts and desires which do not fit with our own newly forming mustard seed consciousness. Watching allows witnessing experientially the sacredness and Immanence of each present moment and its faith-filled aspect.

Aum is the transmuting vibration which alone contains the transformative dynamic necessary for advancement out of, and beyond, basic human consciousness into Christ consciousness and on to Cosmic-consciousness. Aum, being the Primordial Sound of the universe, is the starting point through which human consciousness commences the transformative journey into Higher Consciousness; the gateway to Supreme Liberation into the eternal peace and joy we’re each encoded to seeking and finding. Whenever the conscious mind is calmed of agitating thoughts, thus is Christ-nature accessed, thereby is our journey into Higher Spiritual Consciousness commenced: “be still and know that I (Higher Consciousness) am God” Psalm 46:10 — a stilled mind attuning with the Primordial frequency. Thus Aum is the sound vehicle, the mantra which settles the active mind into subtler and subtler states resulting in integration and purification of the lower egoic nature and into directly knowing our Higher Self. An integratory activity at subconscious level which neutralizes from bondage the generational soul-blocking thought patters, causal of perpetual suffering through spiritual ignorance.

Moving deeper into Aum takes the mind beyond creation itself into the Transcendent, the vibrationaless state beyond the law of opposites, which fits perfectly with the Supreme Liberation mentioned in the Bhagavad-Gita Ch2-v45: “be without the three gunas, O Arjuna” – freed from the law of opposites inherent in creation – “the three gunas” which are Sattva, Rajas and Tamas represent the forces of nature which, in practical terms, are: Creation, Maintenance and Dissolution symbolized by A-U-M. In Hindu culture the 3-fold nature of God is referred to as: satchidananda. Sat: Absolute never-changing, beyond creation. Chid: ever-vibrating within creation or Christ-consciousness. Ananda: ever-new bliss.

Moving beyond ego-governance and human consciousness, vibrating Aum elevates the senses from conditioned or gross levels of sensory perception to a deeper more refined spiritual cosmic level. Also, by lowering the respiratory rate to around 5 / 6 breaths per minute, and even lower, meditation reduces production of carbon dioxide in the body for elimination into the atmosphere, thus contributing to lowering global warming by our low carbon footprint. Meditation also purifies the nervous system whereby the senses — which are duty-bound to serve the mind — become re-calibrated to serve in a multi-sensory capacity, thereby to serve spiritually. By purification is meant, mind / senses becoming free of automatic attraction to the material world for sense gratification only. To this end, any meditation which stills / calms the conscious mind and lowers the breath cycle, will lead to transcendence and sense purification.

In discussing meditation, we must not ignore transcendence as somehow not applying to the ordinary person, for it most certainly does apply. It is transcendence which takes the mind beyond Aum, beyond “the three gunas”, beyond human consciousness and the cycle of birth-death and rebirth — which “beyond” embraces eternal never-changing Pure Consciousness.

Let us now examine closely the following Scripture with regards to Aum.

“In the Beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, And the Word was God” John 1:1

In relating practically with the Word in John 1:1, it enables fulfillment of our life-purpose – of going BEYOND human consciousness into Divine Consciousness. The most practical interpretation of this scripture therefore is how it brings “beyond” about. The vital questions in this context are: what is the Word which was “in the beginning” and “was with God” and “was God”? The arrangement of the sentence tempts into an obvious literal translation but which interpretation really does not advance in any meaningful way, understanding leading to “beyond”. Conversely, esoteric translation is referring to the inherent principle that, for any creation to take place, there must be Cause, which in this case is the Word, the eternal vibration Aum. “In the beginning” therefore translates: eternal ever-existing Cause. Thus the Word, which is Aum, is the Primordial sound of the universe; an invisible sonic-like vibration which pervades everything in existence — the universe and our physical bodies. Nothing came or comes into existence without the Word, without vibrational Aum, or Om. After regular practice, Aum is perceived within as expansionary, an all-pervading upward-flowing energy – a subtle vibration of happiness or bliss. Aum is not simply a philosophical symbol but an actual means-tool for human transformation into divine nature. Thus Aum is the sound of the eternally vibrating universe while simultaneously lying “beyond” — of Transcendental nature or God – as in God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Ghost — three divine aspects of One Being.

Aum is un-struck, meaning it is not produced by two things striking each other as is the case of relative sound.

Although humanly composed — almost profoundly Poetry-like — in symbolized, abstract format, all sacred texts and languages, including the Bible and the Vades, are sourced through Aum consciousness or, the Holy Ghost. And while hugely beneficial of course, reading Scriptures alone is not really sufficient for direct Aum experiencing, thus meditation is key. Scripture puts it: “No man cometh unto the Father (cosmic consciousness) except through Me (Christ consciousness”) John 14:6 – meaning, initial contact with Aum, which is God the Holy Ghost – the third person of the blessed trinity, is imperative. This is how, through meditation, the localized “I” progresses spiritually to become unbounded Higher Consciousness – the lower intellect becoming Transcendent-infused “I” – “I and the Father are one” John 10:30. Thus Aum is the crossover dynamic from human consciousness into Divine Consciousness.

Aum — Cause of Creation

Notwithstanding sourced through Aum, and the great, eternal wisdom of Scripture, the Word in John 1:1 is not specifically referring to a collection of biblical God words as such -rather to the mechanism of Aum which activates the dormant force at the base of the spine. The Greek word for Word is Logos which has many definitions, one being: something that communicates, vibrates and reveals or, Cause. In spiritual / biblical context, we could refer to Word as Cause [of creation], the Christ within – the Atman or Soul. John 1:1 therefore is referring specifically to the Original vibration which brought the whole phenomenal creation into being, with which we’re each intended to commune in order to transcend this physical world.

Activating the Spinal Column

Ever-existing Aum is the Creator, Maintainer and Dissolver of all physical creation. Aum is the sound through which all matter comes into being, including our physical bodies. All of creation comes through Aum, a never-ceasing cosmic throb. In this context, we’re each a vibrating consciousness awaiting direct realization of Vibrationless Silence beyond Aum, beyond matter, beyond creation into Higher Spirit-Consciousness.

Basically, it works something like this. At a certain point – some traditions say between 40-120 days after conception — the Aum vibration descends into the embryonic fetus in the womb to make the bodily parts – heart, lungs, spine and so on. After completion, the vibration comes to rest at the base of the spine – known as involution. We must remember, that, for the soul to become physical, the universal vibration had to be lowered or stepped down dramatically to facilitate this human birth process. The Vibration, then, in all its pre-reduced Potential, remains inactive at the base of the spine until such time as we consciously commence the spiritual awakening process, known as Ascension or evolution – the purpose of our earth journey.

Ascension of consciousness commences when the asleep life force at the base of the spine reactivates through Aum. In Eastern yogic traditions, this force is known as kundalini. Through regular practice, kundalini rises back up the spine thereby awakening the seven cosmic energy centers along the spine culminating in awakening the two energy centers in the brain, the Pineal and Pituitary glands. Such awakening qualifies the Scripture “Jesus said He would send the Holy Spirit” John 15:26. In other words, the Holy Spirit / Ghost, which is Aum, is innately present in Aum at Descent and Ascension stages of the re-union with Higher Consciousness — God.

Paradigm Shift to All-knowing Intelligence — Divine Wisdom

Evolution globally is happening at a rapid pace. Having experienced Aum and kundalini rising, vast swedes of people are migrating from the impractical interpretations of literal scriptures to esoteric or non-literal interpretation which offers so much more clarity and meaning. This paradigm shift is vital as we move from base camp of spiritual ignorance into Reality — into Summit Consciousness. In practicing Aum, or similar vibrational mantras, we’re fulfilling the words of the Prophet Isaiah 40:3 “make straight in the desert a highway for the Lord”. By unblocking the spiritual channels we’re entering the seventh heaven, opening the seventh seal (Rev:8:1) of the Pineal gland, thereby claiming our divine inheritance: Promised Land Consciousness. We’re also fulfilling God’s command to Moses “Lift up They Rod” Exodus 14:16 – activate the spinal column and the seven energy certers, thereby preparing the consciousness for experiential Divine nature. Such blessed state brings with it a level of all-knowing intelligence, Divine Wisdom. meaning, availability of expanded cosmic consciousness at our conscious use of mind.

Aum and Total Brain Coherence

The first law of the universe is order. Therefore, as with the physical universe, the practical effect of Aum vibration on the physiology is right / left brain coherence – a cosmically functioning brain. Aum lowers the brain’s oscillatory frequency from Bata frequency of around 14-50 cps, cycles per second, through Alpha of 7-14 cps to a Theta brain speed of between 4-7 cps – below Theta is Delta vibrating at between 1-3 cps which is nearer to the vibration of a stone, but which some accomplished yogis have attained. The higher the brain’s oscillations the greater the anxiety levels. As with Alpha / Theta brain speed, Bata does not recognize “the now” or calmness. Theta frequency activates the kundalini up along the spinal column, which in turn activates the Pineal / Pituirary glands, including the five cosmic energy centers below the brain. This dynamic of low brain oscillation and harmonization, mirrors cosmic consciousness. On reaching this point of spiritual evolution we can say with certainty that we’re re-connected and functioning through God-consciousness — highest level of human evolution.

Although a core tenet of many religions, Aum and the above scripture, at its applicatory / experiential level, transcends religious dogmas and belief systems, respectfully. For, John 1:1 contains the actual vibratory Word sound God as GAHHD. In essence Aum is our Savior – route of redemption — to becoming redeemed, quickened in Spirit; a God-given dynamic for inner Christ-realization; transformation from base metal into Gold: the Alchemy-force through which ALL creation originated, and, which creation is eventually transcended leading to Union with never-changing Cosmic-consciousness. Thus, vibrational Aum redeems from suffering — the plane of spiritual ignorance — into the realm of Enlightenment and eternal contentment, peace and transcendental bliss.

Faith-Realization Through Aum

As Divine Potential, we’re each endowed with the inner mechanisms for contacting and attaining Christ-consciousness leading to cosmic consciousness, which contact-nature embraces Total Faith. Faith is different from belief in that belief mainly consists of learned or inherited conditioned energy cycles, or subconscious reactive patterns which the asleep soul operates through automatically – biblically referred to as spiritual ignorance. In this context, our life can resemble total unreality or illusion. To awaken from this Maya, illusion, Truth-Faith needs to become as active consciousness, the conscious mind needs contact with Present Moment Awareness, which initiates the all-embracing cosmic Silence which equates to direct Faith experiencing. Learned or imposed Faith is not sufficient. Repeating “I believe in God”, over and over, while positive and sincere, originates from ego and does not establish actual Faith-consciousness, rather a repetitive mental loop to appease ego. As was said, Faith is innately present within Christ-consciousness and is COME UPON — exposed rather than imposed — through integration of fear-riddled generational conditioning. Faith-nature becomes established in consciousness through vibratory Aum — intuitiveness sourced through naturally-recurring happiness and contentment. Once established, Faith cannot be reversed or erased.

Of course this is not saying we abandon our traditions’ beliefs or their core tenets. No, far from it. It’s merely pointing to how the already present state can be realized without institutional programming. Faith intuits naturally that which we already are – Faith-endowed Spirit. The following Scripture highlights the need of Faith realization beautifully: “First seek ye the kingdom (vibrational Aum) and all else shall be unto thee (Christ or Higher-Consciousness realization)” Matthew 6:33.

In conclusion let us look briefly at two similar scriptures.

“in the beginning God created the heaven and the earth” Genesis 1:1

Here again “in the beginning” in not referring to the creation of the physical universe eons ago, and all that such mind-boggling detail involves. In this context, we do not have to intellectually know all about the laws of nature, rather through Aum, we become attuned automatically with the innumerable laws of Nature, of Creation. Therefore, at practical level “in the beginning” is referring to the potential of new creation — transformation of consciousness. In other words, “in the beginning” is conscious familiarization with “God (Aum) created the heaven (bliss) and the earth (mind)” while in meditation.

“And the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us” John 1-14

This Scripture is referring to the creation and evolution of the physical body after Aum vibration entered the embryonic body soon after conception. “And dwelth among us” – meaning, all-pervading or universal consciousness within the Atom / Molecular / Cellular structure.

Esoteric Overview

When interpretations, such as the above three Scriptures are cognized esoterically, then literal interpretations become meaningless to an evolving brain and consciousness. The consequences of expansion of consciousness ensures no returning to primitive non-soul serving literal understanding. Meditation frees the mind of imposed limitations, of fictional mind-sets, making us free of illusory people, places and events and moving into full potential, full creative ability. Then do we prosper, not only spiritually, but on all levels of material life. Through Spirit Awareness do we see and live through authentic understanding as intended by the Aum-infused authors of Scriptures. What brings full and final Liberation from this ever-changing phenomenal existence into realization of our true manifesting potential is Realized Reality, Transcendental Silence. When Aum vibration is experienced and transcended, thus is contact with the never-changing Absolute established. Thus do we see manifestation of our dreams simply an extension of innate Faith.

The Prodigal Son — Luke 15:11-32. is truly one of great biblical stories of inner transformation. It’s about a certain man who had two sons, one becoming spiritually lost and the other not having a capacity of expressing unconditional love or unconditional forgiveness. In this biblical lesson of personal spiritual growth, the two sons, while appearing to be separate, are one and the same soul/being, but, for the purpose of relating the story philosophically, and making the message intuitively understood, are portrayed as separate sons or souls. They represent aspects of you/me which is/was a reality for us at some point on this material plane of existence.

The prodigal son’s squandering of the divine inheritance on prostitutes means the soul was living through ego-created thought patterns designed to blind it from Truth. Also, having become impoverished spiritually, was put to work on a farm feeding pigs in a foreign land. This foreign land symbolizes lower consciousness and the pigs are the glutenous non purified senses who thrive on worldly gratification. Similarly, the older son, who was out in the field, meaning in the carnal mind — not within — then called the servants [of that field], the thought patterns of the lower ego, to make judgment through ego.

Adding further context on how these two aspects of consciousness came into being: one son by choice, the younger one, asked for his share of the Father’s estate – divine existence, faculties of creating and manifesting, and ability of attaining eternal Spirit nature consciously. On receiving, he descended into [hell] the material world experience. The other son, ‘having always been with the Father’ the parable informs – but unconsciously – meaning, behaving self-righteous, seen to be upholding a societal image and of rigid religious obedience. This elder son did not consciously know his true spiritual nature either. He only thought he was a good person, and, knowing only anger, bitterness and resentment, could not exhibit the soul’s very essence, unconditional love. Behaving under the aegis of his societal / religious ego, the older son felt as though morally perfect in every way, hence the unforgiving, non compassionate nature towards the seemingly non-spiritual younger son. Therefore, saw no reason for repentance, for self-purification, hence, spiritual pride and why he could not enter into the house [inner temple] to celebrate [love].

The younger son, due to his leaving the Father (entering into the spiritual wilderness of psychic sleep) and returning, made the conscious, courageous and contrite transition from human lower ego into higher spiritual nature.On the other hand, rather than of choice participation in divine matters, the elder son admitted to being as a slave [to ego], therefore never consciously or directly experienced Ascension of consciousness or gained spiritual realization — freedom from dominant ego. In other words, being always under the control of enforced outer belief systems, was not of his own volitional choice inner spiritually found — not awakened in higher vibrational consciousness — but merely adhering to man-made rules and rooted egoism — above redemption – which could be described as spiritual pride.

God-given Free Will

In asking for his share of the Father’s Estate, the younger son,exercised his God-given ability of free will, which request the Father didn’t deny, for we’re each given free will to consciously exercise. In taking on the physical material life experience — and by implication, the human ego — the younger son loses conscious awareness of his divine Spirit nature. From this state of spiritual ignorance commences the inner journey of consciousness transformation, of becoming consciously re-united with the Divine, Cosmic or Transcendent state within his own consciousness. Even though we were each in heaven [albeit unconsciously] previous to entering the material world, coming to the material plane and becoming spiritually lost, the prodigal ego is the means or dynamic through which Ascension is gained — for conscious return into Divine Stature. In this context, neither sons, prior to material existence, were ever consciously aware of the soul’s Divine eternal state.

Involution / Evolution

This process of material life experience and later back into Spirit status is called involution / evolution: involution into matter – and He descended into hell — then evolution or Resurrection out of matter into Spirit, from where we started, only this time endowed consciously of eternal Divine Nature – “hell” meaning the suffering nature of the material-physical ego-driven world while spiritually asleep.

The prodigal son, having realized his fall from Grace – squandering his inheritance of higher soul status to mere ego-sense gratification or feeding the pigs – subsequently encounters soul promptings, inner awareness, thereby to eventually experience his Higher Self, his own inner Christ or Redeemer – the Fatted Calf. The fatted calf is symbolic of experiencing and expressing our Higher Self gained by way of self-purification. It was the prodigal’s riotous lower life living and subsequent heeding of the inner awareness which led him to saying “enough is enough”. In this momentous decision, of recognizing the utter futility of his human ways, does he consciously awaken to the cosmic unbounded nature of his eternal Spirit soul – where previously there was no conscious awareness.

In asking for his share of the Kingdom of Heaven, his inheritance, the younger son was given all God-Nature ability-mechanisms for the purpose of spiritual Glory reunification. This infers he accepted that, for the purpose of spiritual consciousness alchemy into conscious eternality, the soul would lose its spiritual awareness – metaphorically it would die a spiritual death, become contaminated in illusion or Maya — phrased in the Apostle’s Creed “He descended into hell, suffered death and was buried”. This qualifies to some extent what is meant when the Father said to the older son — when he complained about not receiving any reward for his good-doing — “but you are always here with me, what’s mine is yours” (but unconsciously). That, in order for the kingdom inheritance to be a conscious affair, the soul must descend into matter, the material world, thereby fulfilling Resurrection of consciousness or Soul Realization – becoming Ascended Master as biblical Jesus became the Christ.

The Way

After much experiencing, finally we begin to intuit the flip-side of this earth-material existence –sensing our core Essence. We become irresistibly drawn to people and events that our soul resonates with: a comfortable feeling about a particular spiritual navigational means out of this material hell, this jungle of snares and traps -biblically referred to as the Way or Jesus – which Way-ability was inherent in our receiving when asking for our share of the kingdom. Meaning, we can discern that Ascension of consciousness is actually within our conscious grasp whenever we choose such. When this depth of soul awareness begins to unfold truly has our white flag been hoisted, the lower-self accepts the utter futility of human effort to be eternally happy, content and at peace within. Truly then, and without fail, does an army of compassionate Angels — inner guidance of a non-judgemental nature — rush to our assistance in aiding re-union with our Divine Father within.

Spiritual application of The Fatted Calf

When, through our chosen meditation, journeying back to our true nature becomes a momentous, love-filled occasion. This is when the fatted calf, the innate love or Christ-nature of the soul, resurrects out of spiritual death to become experiential Life awareness – born again, the second birth — when feasting on divine-consciousness becomes our daily soul nourishment. In this instance, biblical “fat” symbolizes our very best offering, which, in this instance, is utter surrendering of the ego, which, in so achieving during meditation, our Spirit soul or Christ consciousness becomes united with the Father. Biblically phrased: “let us bring forth the fatted calf and celebrate” – celebrate, meaning live through the awakened Christ consciousness as opposed to the prodigal son’s dead or soul-sleeping awareness- the famine in the foreign land [within].

Practical Means of Purification

This parable surly deserves our fullest attention. It highlights the essential inner silence work required for the soul’s Home-coming — soul becoming conscious unto itself – and realization of the eternal status we each inherited of the Father, the Christ within. From here can we further comprehend the Bible phrase “I and the Father are One”. Without an off-spring – the prodigal son returning — there is no Fatherhood experience. In other words, the Father required a sacrificial Lamb (innocence) or the Christ soul to descend into the material world in order for Father/Son dynamic to be known consciously as “I and the Father are One” — the purpose of this earth journey and the prodigal son experience. Expressed “fatted calf” nature gradually over time, brings this Oneness into focused reality within consciousness, when our lives become as service channels of His nature for the purpose of assisting others on their prodigal journey Homeward. But, to be of divine service, we must each first undergo the self-purification process of returning. In this context, the pivotal points of this soul-saving parable is when the younger son says: “I will arise and go to my Father [within]”, meaning, I will take steps to raise my consciousness to Transcendental Father level. And this inner journey, once commenced upon, immediately becomes known to the Father: “the Father saw him from afar” — “afar” meaning from within.

Addictive Thought Patterns

And while substance-addiction may not be an issue for us, biblically, addiction is mainly to do with compulsive thought production and addictive thought patterns of a non-soul-serving nature — like the farm pig-sty the younger son was sent to work in. Thus, the practical means of prodigal son purification is through crucifying the main source of inner pollution, the riotous ego, symbolism of the Crucifixion on Mount Calvary, meaning, highest point of inner Purity; a level of transcendental awareness, minus ego, leading to Ascension of consciousness — Resurrection out of prodigal existence into conscious Unity with and AS the Father.

In conclusion, we remember that it was the Father who was ecstatically happy on the son’s return, meaning, it is into this ecstatic bliss state which the son comes on returning Home. And, gaining Home is by daily silence contact in actual meditation leading to bliss-consciousness and then living this post meditation nature throughout our daily life. Thus “let us prepare the fatted calf [through meditation] and be merry”. This is the Glory of daily meditation in relation to the prodigal son — a leading to awakening out of the psychic sleep and egoic web entanglement thereby directly knowing our own Christ or Fatted Calf nature within – the highest offering / prayer we can make to the Father.

Many years ago, before becoming a daily meditator, I heard a disagreement on radio, on God, where one accused the other: ‘does he think he has his own personal hotline to God’? the person questioned. At the time, I too thought having a hotline to God was a strange statement. Now, after thirty-five years of meditation, I can say with confidence, that, not only it is possible, but easy.

In describing, God, it helps if we move beyond titling God as a noun, as a single entity of sorts, for God’s name is not God as we understand the term “name” – biblically, name means nature. Therefore, God translates, Divine Nature, which Nature is Absolute, transcendental and universal – everywhere, both relative and absolute in totality all at once. Once we grow beyond the imprisoning mind-sets of formal religions and the literal interpretations of the Bible, then does hotline reality really begin opening for us – a new dimension of higher consciousness and soul wisdom reveals itself which heretofore was bluntly conditioned over by formal religious teachings during those vital early formative years.

With Divine Love being Transcendental, and human emotional love being of the material world, therefore, human love is imperfect, it is not Divine Love. Divine Nature, in its purest experience for humans is profound natural compassion and deep contentment, or, in yoga, its Bliss. In this context, no matter how sincere human love may be intended toward others, it is still innately contaminated by the material world influence, by non-naturally-occurring compassionate nature. Human love, therefore, amounts to non-purified emotionalism and, for the most part, selective in expression. It is selective because it is usually reserved only for those close to us, such as family members and trusted acquaintances – it can also be contrived love. Beyond the comfort zone of selective love, particularly where compassion is concerned, we become spiritually challenged on all fronts.

When love is conditional, there are usually unresolved, non-integrated emotions acting out at the subconscious level, emotions which are contradicting our heart’s natural desire to express authentic Divine Love. Prior to spiritual soul awakening, we’re each subliminally driven by deeply-rooted fears and insecurities, by the myriad of ego-contrived mind-sets resulting in our every actions being automatically played out on the screen of life- hence conditional love sourced of spiritual ignorance. Tending toward those we feel are more tolerant of these unresolved deficiencies, we cling to their emotional security rather than freeing ourselves of our own inherited programming — from the loop-feed of the subconscious aspect of overall mind.

Contacting Divine Love

Because contact is a conscious choice, when acted upon it is this choice which activates our life-journey’s real purpose here on earth. For human love to become perfected into Divine Love, embarking upon a self-purification process is necessary. In this regard, purification means expansion of conscious mind – capacity of deep experiencing as opposed to mere surface experiencing. When contact with our own eternal Pure Soul becomes realized, experienced, then this deeper capacity-nature of soul-silence becomes irreversibly infused into the nature of the mind / heart, then does Divine Love Nature become established within our own consciousness. Divine Bliss or pure compassion is experienced as soul intuition, which, in reality is our personal “Hotline to God”. Of course, the optimum word here is CONTACT. It is deemed contact only when such contact has become established within consciousness. No amount of intellectualizing on contact, verbally or otherwise, produces it. We can say that water is wet, but, until contact with water is made, then and only do we know the texture and fluidity attributes of water, which is immensely greater than the description of water being wet. Similarly, when we say, God is Love, it remains at the intellectual level until directly experienced within the heart, within consciousness.

Establishing contact is not difficult, but requires a committed, disciplined approach. The approach is by way of the various spiritual disciplines such as meditation, Yoga and deep breathing exercises known as pranayama – all very simple and practical practices. These practices reorientate the nervous system to withstanding Pure Consciousness, our own soul — an individualized aspect of God Nature – resulting, over time, in Divine Love-nature becoming unconditionally present in our daily life.

Prior to establishing contact, Pure Consciousness does not exude a quality of Love – for no one could experience such who had not already established contact. Meaning, in its unmanifest state, Divine Love is Potential Purity awaiting transfiguration into the human constitution. Therefore, transfiguration of our spiritual mechanisms, through contact, is how humans get to know, experience our highest pursuit, Divine Nature. This is the understanding behind the biblical quote: “The transfiguration on the Mount” — Mount meaning highest point of inner awareness during meditation. For Pure Eternal Potential to become experiential beyond dogma and belief systems, embarking upon a self-purification practice, of which mind expansion is the by product, is totally necessary. This is when inner Mount nature expands to become established universal awareness – the Will of God alive in our heart.

Divine nature has vibratory qualities which oscillate vastly beyond the level which human emotional love can comprehend or exhibit. In this regard, contact changes everything, for, everything Love passes through it changes into Itself – stepped up into similar energy ratio. The glory is, contact recalibrates our entire physiology; it spiritualizes matter thereby altering and deepening the capacity of the nervous system into perceiving divinely, cosmically. Once realized, and for such to become established contact, Love nature must then be lived, expressed naturally in an effortless way in our daily life. Then, the more we give away — the more that passes through us — then the more we have to further give away – the cycle continues indefinitely. If we do not give Love energy away, express it, then it works against us: we can become angry, moody and even depressed. For, like electricity, energy cannot be stored – it must flow.

The Inner Set-up

To have any experience, there must be a corresponding setup in the nervous system. Therefore, Divine Love becomes realized Potential only when our physiology / nervous system is cultured to withstand Purity – maintain happiness, calm, contentment or bliss, on a continuous basis. And while we may gain token peace of mind by way of literal sound-bites on love nature, the same format does not apply to the heart: to know Love the heart must enjoy direct experiencing. And, when the heart does experience direct Purity, we will sense it as inclination to express un-equivocated compassion, sincerity and bubbliness of well-being in all situations.

The False Ego

In the pursuit of Love contact, ego will always present off-putting scenarios to eternally delay expression of our divine inheritance. Ego, being maintainer of the illusory false persona, will always attempt, by any means, at convincing against pursuing our noblest goal. Because it is a psychological contrivance, in an ego-dominated world Purity is non-existent. Ego has no authentic basis, it is not real, therefore is not constituted to know Love, rather, promote its opposite. This then is the plank in the eye which needs plucking out, which needs integration. Another example of ego is, when we say “God is Love” this is an intellectual observation of a state beyond the intellect’s capacity of knowing. A simplistic overview from ego’s perspective which is incapable of experiencing what it is describing. Because it is transcendental, describing Love through the ego, before spiritual awakening, lacks spiritual maturity and soul-sourced understanding.

For Love to be it must flow. In the absence of flow stagnation ensues — from where we’ve all at one time started our quest for Divine contact. In other words, stagnation equals suffering, which translates as stress, anger, phobias, addictions, depression plus the myriad of side effects these potentially bring at inter-personal and societal level. In the absence of established contact, a tendency can arise where we become over-materially attached, sourcing our happiness through materialism. This can happen when driven to amass endless wealth and possessions as a replacement for authentic peace of mind and security in life. When this is the fact, then matter is dominating spirit instead of the reverse being so – a case of living life’s priorities in reverse — the Bible puts it: “first seek the Kingdom of Heaven [within]”

And, finally, while adherence to beautiful biblical quotations is certainly a great positive, but, more spiritually authentic would seem to be actually living Divine nature, thereby is our own lived experience demonstrated into the world and into Universal Mind. The point being, be sure we’re not moving intellectually from direct means of establishing CONTACT, that we’re not sending the awareness-ball firmly back into ego’s court. By establishing the mind in utter soul silence – like Noah’s Ark (the mind) resting on top of the Mount — ego becomes transformed, integrated into spiritual orientation thus ensuring our hotline to God is eternally pure, open and free-flowing.

In the absence of non-conceptual understanding, we can now see how many religious institutions remain stuck in perpetuating an intellectual, up in the sky God — programming their adherents with delusional conditioning. When such conditioning takes root in the mind scriptural interpretations become totally untranslatable thereby incomprehensible at any practical level; thus lack of mature understanding becomes the real enemy of spiritual enlightenment for many. Wearisome, feeling its easier following the crowd, many settle for conceptual knowledge unaware of its controlling potential at the deeper level of mind. With programmed mind-sets we are journeying without to finding God rather than within. Often referred to as “one-track minded”, conditioned belief systems or subconscious thought patterns become grooved into the deeper mind thereby furnishing the conscious mind with distorted perceptions of not only our own inner spiritual status, but the entire Bible’s real message of Unconditional Love through Christ within. In other words, the intellect, functioning through whatever color glasses the mind is programmed and conditioned into, accepts the mind-set as true, accepts and reflects only this pattern in their life as reality — the conditioning becomes the film we watch and live by daily. With conditioned knowledge, we are either reacting from such, or defending it. We base our entire world around an illusion, therefore incapable of seeing / hearing Truth; by this subliminal denial of our own inner Christ nature, we accept the shadow for Reality.

Crucifying the lower Ego

On the other hand, Heart-centered or universal consciousness — resultant from regular meditation — is divine experiencing which has its basis in pure transcendental silence — Authentic reality. Our purpose here on Earth is about coming upon this pure transcendental silence thereby activating expansion of divine happiness — becoming conscious in cosmic nature or Christ-Consciousness. But the stumbling block for many in this regard, I feel, is confusion initiated through non-nonsensical dogma: confusion that the historical personality of the man Jesus is the same as the biblical Jesus — they are not one and the same person. Biblical Jesus is referring to a process of inner awakening, to the necessity of spiritual realization and is not referring to historical events or people no matter how saintly these souls were at the time. This biblical process or dynamic is through crucifying the lower ego leading to a spiritual or soul personality, which is the hidden message behind the Crucifixion as we know it. Keeping it literal, religions never explain this crucifixion and its related esoteric symbolism. The Crucifixion symbolizes overcoming the lower ego, with meditation as the practical means of achieving such. Known in the Bible as Galgotha — meaning place of the skull — this crucifying takes place in the human mind on a daily basis in meditation. In other words, meditative silence is the way of crucifying our lower nature thereby awakening our higher spiritual faculties unto direct experiencing of Divine nature or Christ-Consciousness.

Scriptures are mostly metaphysical composition, symbolism language which bear no semblance to literal interpretation. Biblical knowledge is not about accumulations of historical facts and trying to create a reality to justify them, rather, biblical knowledge is primarily instructional of coming upon our own Christ within. Thus the Bible is a Master book of instruction in gaining expansion of human consciousness into Christ or Cosmic consciousness, leading eventually to God-Consciousness. In this context, formal religion, I believe, in its propagation of literal Bible, renounce their responsibility of guiding flocks to know their own True reality, their own inner Christ. The word religion translate re-unite — meaning reunite / transform mind, body, soul into Christ-Consciousness. Is this being achieved, we ask.

Congregations trust that their born-into family religion knows best thus follow no matter what its biblical interpretations. But this is where we need to be brave — if it does not feel right then its not right.

Without direct experience of the human soul emerging from its spiritual hibernation, there is a tendency to settling for others’ belief-systems to appease the lower ego which only consolidates fear of change lest we might offend our church leaders and God — and this is what some religions rely upon. Instilling fear into others is a sure sign of spiritual, moral / ethical bankruptcy; it’s what lower ego generates in abundance. Therefore, because it chronically upsets the natural cosmic rhythms of the soul and contradicts the Spirit of God, fear-based Tap roots must be eliminated. For actual spiritual growth taking place, change leading to consciousness expansion is vital — a dynamic central to all creation and the universe. Think caterpillar / butterfly: one sees death the other sees life. Which are we?

Personal Responsibility

In this context, well-intentioned souls might assume that in becoming Christ-blessed we have only to agree with those considered our spiritual superiors, those who convince most persuasively on literal Bible. That somehow, by ticking the “I agree” box in mind, God will notice our concurrence and bestow soul sanctification. If merely hearing or reading well-crafted pulpit words as sufficient for divine transformation, then the problem of world peace, both personal and global, would surly have dawned on Earth by now. Deep down we know this to be true, that something is not working through indoctrinated mind-sets of God. The message of personal responsibility to spiritual Enlightenment has been lost to greed, corruption and manipulation at individual, institutional and corporate level – this is not being judgmental but a reality fact.

I was reading an article recently by an eminent American journalist who stated that the Sermon On the Mount did not in any meaningful way address world problems, it fell short of solutions, the article stated. This is an example of personal responsibility avoidance, of shallow corporately-driven understanding on the Journalist’s part, of not directly knowing their own higher Self and what the Beatitudes essentially are endeavoring to highlight — individual Self Realization.

Dwelling on historical individuals – male / female — is a subliminal denial of our own True potential: “I have come that you may have life in all its fullness” – John 10:10. “I have come” is the experiential Presence of our own inner Christ, not in the future, but now, and, “I” is the eternally-existing Christ-consciousness which becomes our standard everyday expression by way of coming upon transcendental pure consciousness in daily meditation. Failing to see practical transformative biblical instruction as this is how literal interpretations inevitability lead to disillusionment of its faithful followers, and the ensuing detrimental effect on the global world.

No matter how virtuous the intention, staying on the surface level of mind in prayer does not achieve transcendental Christ-Consciousness. A purified cranial nervous system, by way of meditative silence, leading to Kundalini / Chakras awakening, indeed paves the certain way – Isaiah 40:3 puts it: “make straight in the desert a highway for the Lord”. This highway is within, and when realized, represents our highest level of spiritual evolution on Earth. And finally, surly one of the Bible’s greatest instructions: Psalm 40–10: “be still (in mind) and know (in heart) that I (eternally-existing Christ-consciousness) am God”. This Psalm is clearly instructional to mental silence meditation. When Divine Presence becomes known as the “I” of our own spiritual consciousness, then it’s that “I” which translates “I and the Father are One”.

Contrary to formal religion perception, the Beatitudes are not about a man teaching spiritual truths to a gathered audience on a hilltop. When esoterically understood, the Beatitudes are about realization of our Higher Self, the attainment of lasting peace and true happiness by means of real connection with God-nature. Composed through this God-nature or Higher consciousness, the Beatitudes are beyond religious dogma, beyond shallow interpretation and literal-based understanding. Through the process of silence meditation, thus is Higher Self consciousness made reality in our daily life. When lower carnal self undergoes integration of devitalized generational conditioning, thereby has the process of realization of this already pure higher Self commenced.

In this context, The Beatitudes are referring to a particular orientation / attitude of consciousness, which orientation is generally referred to as Higher Self, Christ consciousness, Cosmic consciousness, Liberated soul consciousness, Unconditional love consciousness or Be-ing consciousness. To experience Beatifically, as a conscious everyday awareness, natural purification of the entire nervous system, by way of meditation, is required, as we shall see in the translations below.

The Beatitudes 3-9 read like referring to different levels of future spiritual expectations, which they are not. For, while listed in the plural, the Beatitudes present the single experiential level of Higher consciousness as a now-happening state and not a collection of future reward-promises for adherence to man-made interpretations. A single experiential state within, they are referring to the state of Unity-consciousness while in the state of transcendence during actual meditation — God working through us, not to us.

Beatitude translates: making blessed, becoming blissful or make supremely happy – blessed, blissful and happy – three aspects of One divine nature.

In this context, here is an esoteric synopsis of the Beatitudes: Matthew 5:1-12

1 Jesus saw the crowds and went up a hill, where he sat down

In biblical language crowd symbolizes our dominant repetitive thoughts, and hill our highest point of consciousness. Where he sat down meaning the practice of meditation — becoming mentally still, when intellect retires into silence. Jesus saw the crowds means when we enter into meditation our mental / physical processes become naturally calmed, spiritually aligned, re-energized — transforming to know divinely. This catharsis or integration process through mental stillness is vital for knowing Beatifically, it brings about expansion of mind.

2 His disciples gathered round him and he began to teach them

His disciples symbolize the 12 aspects of human nature which undergo spiritual transition. In practical terms, the 12 apostles are the 12 cranial nerves situated in and around the brain, which, in conjunction with the seven energy centers known as Chakras along the spine, are our means of spiritual evolution. Without these faculties functioning optimally, we remain “stuck” in the time / space dynamic and are functioning through spiritual ignorance — on battery power rather than Mains. These channels, when meditationally awakened — he began to teach them — function in their cosmically intended purpose, that of being instruments of the Divine. Regular stilling of the conscious mind — leading to transcendence of intellect — is how these vital energy channels become activated, spiritually-serving leading eventually to our highest potential, God-consciousness.

3 Happy are those who know they are spiritually poor;

the Kingdom of heaven belongs to them!

When the mind becomes truly settled, realization dawns that there is another level of existence beyond ordinary human awareness, a realm beyond human suffering. It’s deemed suffering when our consciousness remains at this ordinary human level, remains in ignorance of our spiritual nature and the potential for Higher Self experiencing. When one’s life — through wrong living, wrong choices, wrong mind-sets — becomes unbearable, as in ‘enough is enough’, the natural tendency is seeking a spiritual solution. Intuitively we sense there is a Nobler existence other than simply existing through lower ego and its related suffering. During meditation we come to know this Nobler existence and its harmonious nature — happy are those. By coming upon unbounded awareness, it becomes abundantly clear that we cannot know divinely, Beatifically without surrendering the lower self and its individuality status. Know they are spiritually poor is: inner knowing without worldly attachments, possessions – being ego-less — thereby know the Kingdom of heaven.

4 Happy are those who mourn;

God will comfort them

Those who mourn are the remorseful, the repentant for their unnatural lifestyle consequent of attachment to the lower ego-created persona. The ego is a psychological illusion invented for blocking out the higher Self, our Spiritual domain, resulting in patterning the mind negatively; a pattern in need of divine alchemy to higher status. But lower ego initially is a necessary means or dynamic of overcoming the illusory nature of the physical world. But, now that we’re faced with a divinely-sourced pattern – consequent of becoming repentant, remorseful and for which purity of inner faculties is required — letting go of lower ego can be traumatic or mournful. But this is how lower-ego becomes integrated, thereby does spiritual ego or divine nature come into focus. Now we’re progressing spiritually – happy are those — comforted without the baggage-influence of the false prophet, lower ego. This is why Jesus rebuked Peter — symbolizing ego: Get behind me, Satan – Matthew 16:23 — become integrated into higher awareness. Lower ego of itself is not evil, its simply a dynamic we must each grow through thereby come into spiritual awareness — evil, meaning living life backward rather than forward; live / evil.The message is in its reverse spelling.

5 Happy are those who are humble;

they will receive what God has promised

There is nothing more humiliating for lower ego than to be faced with utter silence. Therefore, humility, meekness comes with arrival of calm-full silence. Repeated humblings by way of transcendence is how the heart / mind get to know what God has promised – eternal life, bliss-consciousness. In the state of transcendental silence, there is no medium for the existence of opinionated lower ego: individual mind ceases to be, it becomes transcendental consciousness – raindrop merging with pure Ocean. With this retiring of the conscious mind / intellect into the Ocean of pure silence, humility becomes means of directly knowing pure existence — eternal transcendental bliss-consciousness — Happy are those.

6 Happy are those whose greatest desire is to do what God requires;

God will satisfy them fully!

As spiritual beings inhabiting a physical body, we’re each required to come upon our higher Self, the already existing pure consciousness. Because we cannot know pure consciousness through impure means, purification of our inner mechanisms — which are presently under the influence of lower self — is what God requires. In taking steps of becoming mentally still in meditation, we fulfill God’s requirement — happy are those. This is how human consciousness transforms to cognize cosmically, universally — know unbounded nature. When such becomes permanently established in consciousness, thus are we spiritually and eternally fulfilled — God will satisfy them fully!

7 Happy are those who are merciful to others;

God will be merciful to them

Being judgmental, unforgiving, continually expressing negativity through the nervous system, will ensure similar life experiences in return: there is no escaping the law of cause and effect: as we sow (in consciousness) so shall we reap (experiential). During transcendence in meditation there is no possibility of duality, of negative emotions such as anger, hatred or ill-will, rather the contrary, for Unity has no opposite. Thus, meditation transmutes, integrates subconscious reactive thought patterns thereby is our consciousness made merciful, compassionate in every expression. Thus, before entering into meditation, be sure not to hold negative mind-sets — happy are those who are merciful.

8 Happy are the pure in heart;

they will see God

To be Pure in heart is consequent of self-purification — purification of our spiritual faculties the nervous system / 12 cranial nerves, lower ego, intellect, thus we see, perceive through Pure Consciousness – they will see God. Absorption of our entire inner being into soul silence is key, thereby is consciousness made free of automatically recurring spiritual ignorance, causal of rooted impurity and suffering. With repeated infusion of bliss into the nature of the mind, then is the soul seeing / perceiving divinely: He – higher Self — healed the spiritually deaf and spiritually blind.

9 Happy are those who work for peace;

God will call them his children!

Becoming a peace-worker (within) is working at becoming spiritually Aware: aware of the defects, limitations and temptations of own human character. Setting about a program of conscious mind expansion — present moment awareness — is how Peace-nature becomes established in the mind and transmitted into the extended world. In knowing personal peace, our spiritual vibration emanates outwards thereby contributes to attainment of the critical mass needed for the whole planet becoming spiritualized. In meditation we become as “children” — light-heart, innocent, ego-less! happy are those.

10 Happy are those who are persecuted because they do what God requires;

the Kingdom of heaven belongs to them

In becoming spiritually awakened to our divine inner nature — coming upon pure consciousness — subconscious addictive patterns begin surfacing into mind for conscious integration — what God requires. During this often unpleasant process, withdrawal symptoms can leave us persecuted on all emotional fronts. But, as the moto goes, this too shall pass — this too becomes integrated, purified, healed — the Kingdom of heaven belongs to them. Overcoming personal addiction can be extremely challenging. In spiritual terms, this temporary discomfiture is something to be happy about, not resisted, for, through a daily meditation program and the help of a detoxification clinic, if necessary, truly are we victorious in this personal persecution – happy are those.

11 Happy are you when people insult you and persecute you and tell all kinds of evil lies against you because you are my followers.

This is slightly different to 10 where persecution is for what God requires – gain purification — and here persecution is because we have commenced, progressed and are now followers (of divine nature). Recognizing this progress, People, lower ego’s fear agendas, begin surfacing into conscious mind in an effort to dissuade us, throw us off track. Now because we’re a committed follower of Truth, our spiritual resolve to wholeness becomes further challenged by ego. Surfacing subconscious content therefore is to be welcomed for it leads to expansionary awareness which, over time, transmutes as purity of heart. Without conscious awareness — by way of mind expansion in meditation — we automatically suppress unpleasantness thus giving further sustenance to lower ego. Soul awakening awareness is the process of overcoming — the world, ego — happy are you. This deep catharsis commences destruction of the temple (left-side brain / ego dominance) which Christ said He would rebuild — renew spiritually by opening right-side brain-thereby is the persecution dynamic healed. This marks the beginning of becoming whole, happy, blissful – experience Beatifically!

12 Be happy and glad, for a great reward is kept for you in heaven. This is how the prophets who lived before you were persecuted.

Evolution is the unending progression of activity: the evolutionary process which always was and will be the same for all beings: This is how the prophets who lived before you were persecuted. In other words, the wheel of evolution is eternally working out the evolution of all beings, that of bringing each to their highest possible potential – God-consciousness. Because we are each born into ignorance of Higher cosmic nature — causal of all suffering globally and personally — attuning cosmically with the laws of nature becomes the spiritual imperative, thereby gaining freedom from lower self domination – be happy and glad. Evolution — through lower self — is the maturing process we must each undergo in becoming transcendentally aligned with the higher Self’s Heaven state; a process which involves many sessions of transcendence in meditation. In the words of the immortal 5000 years old Bhagavad-Gita: ch2–v45 –“be without the three gunas, O Arjuna, freed from duality..”. The three gunas represent the three evolutionary laws of nature: Creation, Maintenance, Dissolution. Everything under the influence of these three Laws are perishable, whereas, beyond them, transcendentally, lies the imperishable – higher Self domain — here, evolution does not exist as we know it now. Freed from duality means free from the law of opposites (good/bad, love/hate) of the relative world — in Unity consciousness there are no opposites. Therefore, when transcendental consciousness becomes permanently established thus are we free of the gunas, the wheel of evolution / persecution of lower self — the unending cycle of birth / death and rebirth. The goal of life on Earth is reached, eternal consciousness attained, the Great Reward realized — Alleluia!

Be Blessed, Happy and Blissful.

Consider the Bible’s creation. Written over a period of 1,500 years and consisting of 66 books, the Bible was written in 3 languages on 3 continents and authored by 40 writers of many different cultures and systems of philosophy. The Bible’s contributors, from all professions in life, were all agreed on one thing: that there is a unified field which holds everything together in this universe and beyond. The field to which they refer is called the Unified field of consciousness. I believe all these biblical authors were disciplined and committed meditators who knew the secret of transcendence, of coming upon the Unified field of consciousness within, the source of Pure Bliss. Which, could well be the reason why Cyrus the Great 2,500 years ago built gardens of relaxation in the busy capital of Persia.

For this scripture to have any meaningful benefit practically, we must read it as applying to our-self, the reader, and not addressing historical people and events. At its core, much of the Bible’s message is instructional on coming upon the Unified field of consciousness. Because the Bible is symbolism-based, literal interpretation will always come across as impossible to comprehend. In this context, I feel some people can be easily led by robe attired persons spouting dogma through a microphone from a pulpit or dais.

In Matthew 9:37 we read that Jesus informed the disciples that the harvest was large but that the workers were few. Why did He say this to His disciples? In my previous article on the five loaves and two fishes, we established that the Apostles are in fact symbolism for the 12 cranial nerves, the 12 baskets or channels, which, when awakened, become overflowing of divine nature. So, here in Matthew 9:37 Jesus (the process of Higher Self awakening) is again referring to the 12 cranial nerves, the asleep aspects of our spiritual faculties — the 12 basic patterns of human personality, the human soul. But more than that, Matthew 9:37 also implicates the five senses, the chakra / glandular system, the mind / heart and intellect – dynamics through which the Higher Self is birthed, expresses and reflects within consciousness.

So, what exactly is the harvest to which Jesus is referring. Harvest here has a double meaning. It can symbolize the harvest of conditioning, the ego awaiting healing thereby releasing the spiritual potential of our own divine nature directly into consciousness — inner Christ nature awaiting liberation, or transformation of our human hearts and minds, healing the aspects of the lower-self personality. Then, again, harvest is the creative bliss-nature of Pure Being – eternal awareness awaiting the reaper, the knower, the expresser. This can also be understood as “the Promises of Christ” – Promises here meaning the innate eternal Potential of the Higher self. A biblical Promise does not of course mean that if we do this or that then we will get a promised reward of sorts, no, for such would be conditional prayer, of ego conditioning. A bit like that awful phrase “fake it till you make it” – how deceitful a way to live Truth!

We’re told in Matthew 9:35 Jesus went round all the towns and villages healing and expressing compassion in the synagogues, healing every kind of disease and sickness. Such diseases are the cumulative results of wrong living, addictions stored in the lower-self, the rooted illusory mind-sets — to include false dogmas — resulting from spiritual ignorance of our own inner Reality. Esoterically, then, what are the towns, villages and synagogues? Village here means village of the five senses and town means the undisciplined mind and its soul destructive content, while synagogue refers to the 7 churches, the 7 chakras of the glandular system, the foundational base or portals through which spiritual awakening takes place; through which our inner spiritual nature is birthed and grows to become experiential Lamb of God or Christ consciousness. Similar to the biblical husband, Joseph, the seeking awareness who nourished Mary — Spark of divine inner light — into birthing the Christ nature within consciousness. Thus we have village, town and synagogue symbolizing senses, mind and asleep portals awaiting activation for deliverance of conscious spiritual awareness.

For now, let us focus some more on these three symbolism and we’ll return to the “workers” and “owner of the harvest” further on in the article.

The subtlety levels of our mental / nervous system faculties are: 5 senses are grossest, finer than the senses, is mind, and finer than mind is intellect, beyond intellect is He or Christ. The senses always follow the mind, therefore, in order to directly enjoy the spiritual Harvest mentioned in Matthew 9:37 the mind, senses and synagogue must be made capable of reflecting Pure Being or Divine nature within our consciousness. Hence Jesus visited the towns, villages and synagogues – Jesus being the purifying dynamic of refining and perfecting the entire inner faculties which facilitate and uphold Christ Consciousness.

Now, this state of Pure Being, Potential, already exists as perfection within each of us. We don’t create it, rather it’s gained through the space created in the conveyor belt of our habitual dominant thoughts, thereby allowing silence seep into awareness thus kick-starting the whole awakening process – when conscious choice becomes conscious action. The preaching which Jesus engaged in with the crowds in the towns, villages and synagogues was not of course the usual preaching one might expect from a religious Pastor or Priest, respectfully. Biblically the word “crowd” symbolizes excessive thoughts and ego fabrications, therefore, Jesus speaking to the crowds, the people, is the act of purification during meditation, of calming the turbulent, chaotic surface mind and emotions, of making the intellect resolute, steady, thereby making enlightenment awareness a conscious reality. Silence being the loudest prayer, therefore, Christ communication is by way of vibrational silence achieved in meditation. This is how Divine Spirit or Higher Self, encounters itself consciously, how divine communication is made conscious thereby spiritualise matter. Such practice over time decontaminates, dissolves the negative thought patterns of the human condition, the subconscious convictions which blight our Soul’s spiritual harvest of peace, joy and contentment into our hearts and minds. In other words, the sword of Pure Knowledge cuts asunder, depotentiates, the ever-recurring subconscious falsehoods which brought about our initial separation from God. Thus, Knowledge through meditation neutralizes and heals separation-conditioning causal of our Soul’s fall from Grace. Gradually, by the infusion of bliss or divine contentment into the mind, the nature of the mind, senses and intellect become transformed, re-patterned – the towns and villages set free! Thus, Jesus became the Christ. On the way to becoming Christ-nature ourselves we don’t fight darkness rather introduce the light whereby is darkness, spiritual ignorance, eliminated.

Who then are the workers in Matthew 9:38, and, how do we recruit them, and, who is the owner of the harvest? Well, the workers are those spiritually awakened aspects of the 12 cranial nerves, 7 chakras, the 5 senses, mind and intellect which, through regular daily meditative silence, activate themselves to function spiritually. Because these divine channels have remained dormant due to our spiritual ignorance, now, by way of transcendental silence, they awaken to facilitate higher dimensional perception. They, the workers, provide spiritual context to our life, awareness and wisdom teachings which bring inner direction, healing and wholeness to every area of our being and mental environment. Once commenced upon, a daily meditation program will provide the silence the inner faculties require to facilitate divine birth within our consciousness, resulting in a new cosmically orientated life style and understanding. The owner of the harvest is our own inner Christ “the anointed One”, when, in revealing His nature, transmutes the blighted landscape of spiritual ignorance into Revelation of His eternal harvest of Love unto our purifying virgin-consciousness.

In 9:39 we read that Jesus (mind in meditation) “gathered the disciples”, meaning, when we sit to meditate we gather our mind, intellect and senses whereby our entire inner mechanisms come to convergence, atonement, one-pointed, become withdraw from outside sensory stimulation. By this constant alternating exposure to the light of the Higher Self in meditation, are our spiritual faculties (12 Apostles) over time made permanently pure for divine reflection. Remember, the Higher Self is already Pure, it’s the generational conditioning which only requires integration. Thus meditation is the way of becoming a harvester of Christ-nature for re-sowing back into the world, back into the universe where every soul harvester matters.

In meditation the mind transcends the field of relativity. This miracle of bringing divine nature into the relative world is how the individual soul becomes aware of its own God-nature potential, subsequently to become established in, thereby to live such. It’s the means by which our life functions in the Name of Christ — Name of Christ meaning in the Nature of Love — the Higher Self. Expressing His Nature / Name at a practical level is to live the state of His forgiveness towards others in our life, expressing the state of unconditional Love in every situation. For, in truth, we could not perform in His Nature without His forgiveness, without purification of our inner mechanisms. But, ego-consciousness will work to deny such happening thus the need of integration of Higher Self and lower self.

Matthew 9:36 puts it: “As he saw the crowds, (our destructive thought patterns and ego-created mind-sets, our inner hell) his heart was filled with pity for them (the purification which takes place in meditation), because they were worried and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd (fearful, stressed out, without Higher-Self guidance, living through dense spiritual ignorance)”. Then Jesus gave the instruction: 9:38 “Pray to the owner of the harvest (meditate, become silent in mind thereby know Pure Consciousness directly, the Christ within) that he will send out workers (emit divine Love, emit purified waves of love and understanding throughout our consciousness via the 12 cranial nerves) to gather his harvest (making our awareness capable of reaping and reflecting His Nature.)”

The reality is, we cannot know God-consciousness directly in heart through a lesser or impure system, through mind-sets and conditioning which simultaneously deny the Christ within. Hence we surrender the lower-self activity authored by the controlling ego. We willingly therefore surrender this awful yuk which has poisoned our spiritual hearts for so long. In so doing, meditation dismantles the clinging, impacting effects of materialism on the senses. Now, like biblical Peter, we’re ready to walk free from the hellish ego prison and into the eternal loving care of His Almighty Nature, permanently – the cycle of death / rebirth is broken, we have gained eternal life consciously.

If ego crucifying were not the requirement, then our “so called” divine nature would simply amount to a collection of opinions generated through lower ego. Thus meditational silence is the overall purifier of our mental environment. In this context, because the brain primarily knows only 3 states, wakeful, dreaming and deep sleep, transcendence is utterly vital. The brain doesn’t know the fourth state, transcendence, such has to be cultured, developed over time through regular meditation.

Meditation is the safest means of activating the Kundalini life force at the base of the spine which then travels upwards to the crown chakra opening the pineal gland and then downwards to awaken the pituitary gland and the remaining spiritual centers to include right side brain. Essentially it’s the fusion of these two glands which bring about 3rd Eye perception — Eye of the Soul — also termed “the mystical marriage – Christ (within) and the Father as One. Here the full brain becomes familiar in transcendence — when both states, relative and absolute, function in unison happily and spontaneously: “and the wolf shall lie down with the lamb” Isaiah 11:6. Our inner mechanisms recalibrating to function cosmically thereby know Heaven on earth regardless of our physical environment or status in life. Spiritual ignorance is the greatest impurity of life, thus, Knowledge or Awareness, is the great purifier. By way of meditation, ego crucifying – transformation of the lower-self nature– is the single most important work we humans have to perform in our life here on earth. For, in essence, Truth is Silence, Divine Silence, its which sets us free from the lower-self suffering content, the suppressed aspect of our mind. It was stress and mental noise which kept the soul spiritually asleep, hidden from God, now its Silence that awakens the soul unto His eternal nature.

Revelation 8:1 puts it: “When he opened the seventh seal, (crown chakra) there was silence in heaven for about half an hour”.

Biblically speaking, “Amen” was intended as a meditational Word Prayer and not the petitioning words which usually precede it. Therefore, may I suggest “Amen” Rev 19:4 as our Mantra, our Word Prayer, our meditational silence prayer as means of opening the seventh seal, which, Revelation states, no one else can open for us.

To practice: be seated and close the eyes. Pause for a few moments, taking a few inward breaths to calm the physiology. Commence inner hearing Amen over and over gently and softly for about 20minutes daily as follows: AHHH-MMMENNN… AHHH-MMMENNN… stretching the word without strain, without effort, aiming instead for gentle zen-like attention. If the mind drifts into “thinking about”, that’s OK, that’s the beginning of Awareness. Just come back, pause again and restart. Each re-start from the pause will be from a deeper level of consciousness. Its these constant re-starts which deepen Presence, deepen unbounded Silence, make experiential His eternal harvest of Love.

Matthew 14:15-20 informs us that the Apostles went to Jesus and told Him the large crowd which followed Him were hungry: they had no food with them to eat. The Apostles wanted to send them to the towns and villages to buy food (Luke 9:12). The Apostles informed Jesus that a boy there had five barley loaves and two Fish but which was not enough. Jesus told the crowd to sit down on the grass and to bring the loaves and fishes to Him. After blessing them He told the Apostles to distribute the food to the crowd. After all had eaten the Apostles collected the left-over’s which filled twelve baskets. This basically, as we know, is the gist of what is one the Bible’s greatest but least understood allegorical content.

To derive any meaningful understanding from this story it’s necessary to read it non-literally, for, to read it literally, in my view, offers no practical benefit whatsoever. Also, reading it as applying to our individual self rather than to a crowd of people in some field, as portrayed in the scripture, will certainly deepen expansion of awareness thereby allowing for consciousness-based knowledge assimilation.

<><>

Let us commence this esoteric reflection into the loaves and fish. The Apostles, in this case, are the innately present spiritual aspects, or divine characters, of the awakening soul – the aspects totally committed to the soul’s maturation process into Christ consciousness, hence they’re referred to as followers of Christ within; generally referred to as the twelve tribes of Israel, they are the twelve baskets which become spiritually filled.

The word “crowd” pops up in the Bible repeatedly. In Mark 5:25-30 a woman (symbolizing a soul) wanted to see Jesus in the market place (the mind) and was prevented by the crowd – the crowded thoughts milling around in our head blocking spiritual light. She raised herself above the crowd – entered meditation — thereby touching His cloak, the love nature of the soul. Again, in Luke 19:3 Zacchaeus, a tax collector — one operating out of lower self, a magnet for stress and perpetuator of ignorance, climbed a sycamore tree — transcended his/her thoughts – thereby experience the spiritual Christ presence within. Jesus said to Zacchaeus: Luke 19:5: hurry down Zacchaeus for I must stay in your house today – house meaning dwell within our heart as Presence. In this verse “crowd” is again referring to compulsive thought activity in our head which clouds over our true spiritual nature, thus taking the mind out of present moment awareness thereby compelling it to live out of subconscious thought programs and, in doing so, perpetuating spiritual ignorance. Therefore, “crowd” in this instance symbolizes the multitude of thoughts which swirl around in the head on an hourly basis which are to be calmed, by the expression sitting on the grass – a pasture proving abundance of peace of mind.

<><>

Next we’re told a young boy had five barley loaves and two fish with him. The young boy here symbolizes the non mature or non awakened aspect of the soul, one not yet mature in Christ consciousness.

What actually do these five loaves mean? Are they bakery bread loaves? No, not at all, the five loaves as mentioned are the five senses in their non purified state. This is why they’re referred to as barley loaves, for barley was considered at the time to be a very low form of food nourishment. The loaves symbolize the potential of experiencing Life purely or divinely by providing abundant spiritual nourishment or Christ Presence into our heart and mind.

What do the two fish symbolize? Are they salmon, trout or pike? Well, no, they’re not fish that we normally catch in the sea or a lake. The fish symbol, I believe, represents two arching lines forming the shape of an eye <>. These two fish then symbolize the left/right brain hemispheres, and, more specifically, the pineal and pituitary glands which allow for these two hemispheres becoming one All-seeing awareness or, the eye of the soul. Vitally they contain the Spiritual Idea or Ideal of the whole cosmic universe or divine plan which becomes birthed into consciousness. They need awakening through natural means such as when Kundalini energy rises upward from the base of the spine. These two glands are the distributer mechanisms through which spiritual awareness and bliss infuses into our hearts and minds, when eternality becomes reality within consciousness. This awareness grows to serve as capacity of divine understanding: perceptibility through heightened awareness as opposed to ordinary human discrimination by way of the unstable intellect. In this latter mode, our personal world amounts to compilations of lower ego mind-sets, a life devoid of mature spiritual awareness (hence the boy having only barley loaves). In this undeveloped state our hearts and minds are denied direct Christ Presence within, full stature of life, hence personal suffering.

<><>

Pure awareness is Ultimate eternal reality – “always was and always will be” Presence — and available for each of us through spiritual awakening. This is why Jesus didn’t send the people away to buy nourishment in the market place to get enlightenment elsewhere. Instead, he told them to sit down – to meditate. John 6:3 puts it: Jesus went up a hill and sat down with the Apostles. Here Jesus (divine inner guidance) is informing us to enter into meditation thereby know His love nature directly by way of purification of the five senses and glandular/chakras system along the spine. This is why in Luke 9:13 Jesus said to the Apostles: you yourselves give them something to eat, “them” meaning the entire spiritual mechanisms – mind, body spirit — which require healing from the get-go of our lives, for we’re born with original conditioning, the carry-over from previous incarnations.

<><>

By now we have to accept that, this story, like so many biblical stories, did not actually happen they’re parables, allegorical content to make philosophical points. So, how do we practically bring our five loaves and two fish to Him? By meditation, that’s how, as qualified again in Luke 9:16: Jesus took the five loaves and two fish, looked up to heaven, thanked God for them, broke them and gave them to the disciples to distribute to the people – people being the thought processes, and, broke them, meaning release of the spiritual nectar or bliss into consciousness. This then is where the so-called multiplication of the loaves and fish come in. The multiplication is when our limited human senses are raised, purified to serve abundantly of divine nature; in other words, the more love and divine nature we give away, the more of such we receive – the inner reward is instant – as we sew so shall we reap in consciousness the nature of God, unconditional love.

If I may give an example of how we bring our loaves and fish to Him. Observe the Tortoise. When the Tortoise wants to become non visible it withdraws all limbs inwards into its shell – bodily parts seem non-existent, dissolved. Similarly, when we meditate, our five senses become withdrawn from their object of experience, surrendered from all sense of bodily knowledge. Post meditation our senses then provide a totally different experience by the fact that they have been healed, rejuvenated, transformed to perceive spiritually. Through this regular practice our senses then function to interpret through Christ nature.

The pivotal words of this biblical instruction are: “bring them to Him”. This then is the formula whereby our senses become reconnected into their embryonic state thereby to function cosmically, ability of embracing the All. When, through expansion of consciousness, we begin to see and understand purely — decide through in-formed awareness. The difference thus between allegory stories and reality becomes startling in the form of, clear understanding emergence that there is a higher divine purpose behind this obvious phenomenal existence. That by soul awakening eternality nature becomes a conscious affair, for, here, the will of God has found a compatible nature through which to express — when our personal vibration matters for the greater good of this planet and the entire cosmos. The Nobler purpose of our life is in play.

<><>

Matthew 6:6 reminds us that, when we pray that we go to our room. This room, of course, isn’t our bedroom, attic or any physical space. No, rather we individually go to the quite space or sanctuary we’ve created in our mind; the spiritual temple which our own inner Christ rebuilds for the Bread of Life to be ever at hand daily for assimilation, thereby nourish our transforming consciousness into His nature.

This going into our mind, our temple, is bringing the senses and entire nervous system to Him. This is soul purification: shutting the door to sensory and emotional experience thus halting the incessant mental activity which is controlling our life daily by way of unbroken thought cycles in the brain. Here in meditation we’re not seeking anything, listening for words of wisdom or uttering our wants and needs to Him. Rather, we’re tuning into the transcendental eternal Silence which alone cleanses and uplifts ordinary human consciousness into Christ consciousness – interrupting the cycle of automatically recurring emotive thought patterns. Belief in God at this point is not so much then an intellect decision, rather a coming upon, for, Belief is our natural divine reality, accessed by way of expanded awareness. Entering into transcendental silence — heightened awareness — awakens ability of clairvoyance, clairsentience and clairaudience: ability of clear visioning, clear feeling and soul hearing: intuitiveness which makes the abstract concrete, such as making transcendental silence a dynamic reality within. By transcendental silence is meant the difference between the choppy ocean surface and the calm silence of the bottom, when perceptions beyond the ocean bed open unto our psyche and senses. The experienced difference within is like the crash of a mega symphonic cymbal and the soft touching together of a butterfly’s wings.

Transcendental silence thus serves as capacity of Revelation when we begin seeing Bible stories as events which take place within consciousness: when our consciousness outgrows the need for parable stories; realization that it’s time for maturing beyond the installed Santa Clause paradigms.

<><>

Once commenced upon, this earth journey of discovering Christ within our own consciousness comes to fruition by natural process. For, once that conscious decision of surrendering is made — like the Tortoise — finding and knowing Him becomes automatic regardless of religion or none. Without this process of bringing the five senses to Him we’re merely recycling spiritual ignorance, and, through such ignorance, faulty understanding grows and spreads like an overpowering contamination, a debilitating weed — or swaddling clothes — around our soul. The ensuing suffering thus is prolonged as a kind of blind martyr-like faith. Ignorance of divine nature is what is deemed suffering. In other words, notwithstanding the fact that we’re born, as the Bible puts it, natural man/woman then spiritual, its deemed accepted suffering to knowingly live through the lower conditioned senses when we’re provided with the means of transmuting this Maya, this ignorance prison and its binding influence. In many cases, through imaginary fear of God becoming angry, or our religious friends becoming hostile toward us, we remain loyal to religious dogmas and shallow belief systems which are clearly non soul serving. In this case, enforced literal scripture interpretation can be a major cause of procrastination to inner change and consciousness transformation. Thus it’s vital to see biblical teachings as relating to the human mind and all its complexities and how overcoming it spiritually and mastering this is possible.

<><>

In conclusion, it’s worth recalling the protocol of the mental/nervous system. The five senses are duty bound to serve the mind with pleasurable experiences of any nature. In this context, the non-spiritually awakened mind, senses and intellect do not possess capacity of pure discrimination. The conscious mind thinks but ultimately it’s the intellect which decides. Therefore, making the intellect resolute is how we deal with the wondering mind in search of a sense fix. Bringing the senses to Him, to Transcendental Silence, achieves this miracle of transforming ordinary sensory perception into pure multisensory capacity: we could say water into wine, lower nature into pure spirit.

Personal stress is associated with almost 98% of all illness in the world today, thus making its elimination from our lives globally the single number one priority. Chronic stress is what maintains sub-consciousness or suffering in our lives. To this end, a meditation, Yoga or a mind-centring program of our choice reduces secretion of the stress hormone Cortisol from the adrenal glands and increases release of serotonin – the happy hormone — from the pineal gland in the centre of the brain between the eyebrows; all very good reasons indeed why Jesus instructs each of us to bring our loaves and fish to Him, to meditate daily. Meditation in time leads to integration of the conscious and subconscious aspects of our deeper mind thereby awaken out of compulsive suffering. By withdrawing from sensory experience and entering into utter silence within for the duration of our meditation, we’re fulfilling the above loaves and fish scripture perfectly.

The Bible says: “But first [life priority] seek ye the kingdom [transcendental silence] and all else shall be added unto you [raised in consciousness] – Matthew 6:33 KJV.

Beyond these instructional words, what is and where is this kingdom of transcendental silence, how do we evaluate such within individual consciousness? Is it absence of city noise or, the sounds experienced in nature?

Here we have two different sound qualities, yet, in their own dynamical way, each capable of providing inner peace. In both scenarios, silence quality is determined by sound, either present or absent. Thus, in determining sound from the well-being perspective, such is based on the level of mental noise versus mental calm. In this situation, of course, nature always feels to win. But, while being silent in wonderful nature has enormous spiritual benefit, it is not the ultimate silence-experience our soul is searching for, which is, transcendental silence.

Coming upon nature-silence indeed provides opportunity to appreciate the difference between Her sound and city-life sound, thereby, intuitively, we begin pondering these two opposite silences and their vibratory effect upon mind and body.

At the practical level there are two types of silence: absolute and relative. Absolute silence — lying beyond time and space — is transcendental. Relative silence, on the other hand, is what we experience by way of sound or noise being either present or absent; the difference is: one is obvious, while the other, being out of ear range, is perceived transcendentally in heart.

Transcendental silence requires a conduit – something to transcend — thus relative sound is the interactive conduit into absolute silence, the state. In stilling the conscious mind to one-pointedness, gradually soul comes upon its own silence — entry point of absolute state, or, time into timelessness. Thus, mind silence — absence of mental chatter – is the birthing process of dynamical transcendental silence.

In stilling the mind of habituated thought patterns — addictive non life-serving mind-sets — inner awareness comes upon transcendental bliss silence or, total no-sound dimension. And, while initially we may glimpse pure silence only momentarily, with practice it becomes established as unconditional love, also referred to as [the] Spirit of God or Spirit of Love.

If we remain solely on the surface relative level of mind — never unplugging from the unrelenting turbulence of mental activity and anxieties– then the bliss of transcendental silence remains out of experiential heart awareness. We find ourselves struggling against a toxic thought-tide rather than with the clear flow of transcendental silence, which is, divine love. Thus, when transcendental silence becomes established in consciousness, pure existence, the state, becomes a living reality, when the “all else shall be added” — as in above scripture — is confirmed.

Like the ocean, absolute silence is ever-total as love-nature. But, until we extend mind and heart into it, transcendental love-silence remains only a concept, an outer intellectual projection fuelled by dogmatic belief systems — learned sound-bites which compensate the mind only rather than infuse the heart with love. With all the great minds who traversed this planet — both male and female — if intellectual knowledge were intended as the solution of finding inner God, the problem would have been resolved centuries ago. As intellectual knowledge alone does not alter the state of the soul, the solution of finding “God” therefore is to be found within mental silence, beyond the outer orientation of formal conditioning and memory referencing of historical locations and people to appease literal translation of coded biblical narrative. Evolutionary-wise, it is well time for moving beyond fable-based spiritual history.

When direct realization of eternal silence is achieved, individual human consciousness transmutes into God-Nature — unconditional creative love. With this in mind, the imperative remains that the nervous system be cultured to withstand the experience of transcendental bliss silence. Deliberate conscious contact with transcendental silence, as opposed to casual moments in quiet places, is the process of finding and knowing [our] eternal Self or God-Nature. In other words, by losing individual small noise-ridden self, we come upon divine transcendental Self Silence, which Silence IS Love.

When, through regular transcendence in meditation, the brain begins simultaneous assimilation in both absolute silence and relative sound, then has cosmic consciousness become realized state — soul-light silence radiating as undeniable compassionate love. Prior to experiencing soul-silence, no matter what level of relative quietness achieved, it still remains on the surface level of mind. Conversely, as mind becomes more cosmic, more cultured in utter silence, stillness, gradually it becomes transcendentally magnetized — matter becoming spiritualized — thus reflecting its innate status of eternal bliss consciousness.

The single most enlightening outcome of gaining transcendental silence is that of achieving faith-filled consciousness. In other words, separate from a belief IN.., we BECOME that which we previously believed in from afar.This is why Jesus rebuked the Apostles: “where is your faith?” Luke 8:25 — not, where is your faith in him. When the din of world noise dominance is stilled and purified, perceived individual separation from God is bridged and the soul’s innate belief nature transforms into total-faith consciousness — authentic divine nature realized within, as separate from allegorical understanding. By regularly entering into transcendental silence, soul matures beyond base-camp or, physical plane environment, thereby grow out of basic “belief-in” someone or something level, to become soul-realized AS Pure Existence Itself — God-Consciousness, the Summit of human evolution.

Practically, how is transcendental faith-silence attained?

Although “the big bang” happened countless centuries ago, something caused it: some Force, Power or State existed previous resulting in the birth of the physical universe as means of [our] birthing spirit-soul individually as conscious awareness — establishing cosmic nature within our own consciousness. This Bang is still expanding the universe at the rate of millions of miles per day, with an after-sound reverberation. Consequent of the big bang, Om — the primordial sound — is said to be the first sound or vibration of the universe, of Creation.

John 1:1 KJV puts it: “In the beginning [prior to big bang] was the Word [divine communicative process] and the Word was with God [innate God-nature of each soul] and the Word was God [Vibrating Om]”.

Although [our] inner Christ or Word was with God, for this to be made manifest consciously it needs to be triggered or stirred into motion, thus, to realize Word vibration, we use a mantra — which translates, “mind vehicle”. Mantra, such as Om, stills, deepens and, metaphysically, carries the mind through the long corridor of time and conditioning layers to arrive at “the beginning”, Source [of thought], transcendental pure consciousness. And, while it is the mantra that stills the conscious mind, it is the communicative vibration created by it that expands and calibrates human mind into eternal purifying silence, or, God-Nature. By silently repeating our mantra – thereby creating vibration — soul is wakened unto Source, transcendental silence; soul is quickened, realigned and remembered consciously unto its original H[om]e: eternal Love-state, God.

While seeming paradoxical, this question contains extreme life-enhancing potential.

Put another way: through what level of dominant consciousness is our life presently functioning – authentic soul consciousness or fake persona?

Persona – meaning mask – fearing hurt through verbal or emotional attack, is constantly in defence mode. Engulfed with feelings of superiority and self-importance, it is quick to anger and retaliate when challenged. Whereas, compassion, born of soul consciousness, is quite the opposite; instantaneous by nature, it is free-flowing and non judgemental in all situations. Thus, our motto should be: when there is nothing to be hurt, there is no hurting, or, eliminate that which is prone to hurt.

Personality essentially is an energy dynamic through which the soul evolves in order to know itself consciously. Generally, when referring to our-self, we refer through the personality, through an emotionally comparing capacity. But, these energy dynamics are not the real you, rather, what the soul uses to know itself divinely. They are but temporary scaffolding to facilitate Spirit emergence, for, at some stage on our spiritual journey to soul, these fictitious templates become integrated, re-nuanced as triggers for compassion expression.

While each person has a soul, which is immortal, eternal, the lower personality is mortal or finite: it is not the eternal You. The purpose of personality is to make coming upon our true divine nature, a conscious reality. Personality dynamic is the vehicle soul engages to reflect its joy and happiness, the medium through which soul finds its way Home. We’re each encoded with this home-coming ability thus, intuitively, we’re each driven to finding inner peace. In this context, to the degree that soul is non spiritually awakened, is the degree of residual unhappiness and stress. To the degree that we accept the artificial personality as real, as king and ruler of our life, is the distance we are from our Self, Soul, Love or, Home.

Deep within we sense this calling to higher soul nature expression. But, coming upon this noble consciousness first requires acknowledgement, or understanding, that Home already exists within. If presently not experiencing this dimension, then, we have either lost our way by over adherence to artificiality, thereby, forgotten, or not recognizing, the entry point into soul. In this context, something unnatural is causing blockage, thereby impeding our perceiving spiritually. Should this predicament be our status, the obvious question arises: what is causing blockage of direct soul connection, how can we re-align and get back on track, thereby come upon authentic love?

The cause of the blockage is mental chaos, the life-sapping debris of a dominant, splintered personality. Thus, it is the chaotic mode or dynamic which we are endeavouring to re-align with soul.

To this end, we look to the physical universe. The first law of the physical universe, is order, nothing concerning the outer physical universe, or, inner life, is by chance happening — every action has a cause, or, reaction of a previous action. Without order, chaos ensues automatically, when everything appears random. In other words, as the universe functions under perfect cosmic law, if this same perfect cosmic law is not operating in our daily lives – in our mind — then chaos is the functioning dynamic. Thus, we can immediately see the potential attaching to mental chaos, to an out-of-order personality. It’s this out-of-order personality which is responsible for individual and global suffering, just to scale.

Have we ever awoken from an unpleasant dream, and, relieved at finding it was not real, how wonderfully exhilarating the awakening moment felt? We had, as if, to “push” our-self awake.

In order to defuse personal chaos in our life, we are intended to “push” through the dream amnion thereby awaken unto spiritual nature, thus freeing intellect from the grip of dominant personality. In this process, the stiller aspect-nature of deeper mind, bliss, is infused into the personality, which then becomes unblocked. When soul and personality become spiritually attuned, thus is divine order established in mind, in our life, in our immediate environment, thereby benefiting the whole o humanity.

As individualized aspects — or hieroglyphs — of Spirit, and to facilitate the seeking / finding dynamic of this higher quiet mind nature, each soul has been stepped down unfathomable levels of Power. Think raindrop / ocean, atom / star, cell / brain, same Ingredient Potential, but just to scale. Similarly, some electrical items have a filtering device to prevent short-circuiting by way of electrical overload.

While personality is the vehicle soul uses to evolve, from the soul’s perspective – not bound by time and space – all its personality traits of anger, rage, jealousy, hatred, addiction, love, joy and happiness, are lived simultaneously. With this in mind, the soul therefore needs only to make ONE CONSCIOUS lifetime journey, which can be this incarnation, should we consciously choose so.

While becoming spiritually realized can be achieved in many ways, the simplest and most practical method is through regular mental silence or personality-purifying meditation. Meditation introduces order into the mental processes, thereby making the conscious mind aware in activity, as separate from subconscious reactive personality traits.

To this end, the significant heart-emergence from meditation, is compassion. Once compassion sets in, wisdom, love and natural behaviour soon become established patterns of expression. In exposing the soul’s capacity of compassion — in making the mind fully conscious through meditation — destructive and chaotic attitudinal traits are exposed to healing. Healed personality thus becomes the prism through which divine harmony, or, soul luminance, reflects in our daily life.
