What is the Spiritual Path for, if not to attain a one-on-one relationship with the Creator, and then the ultimate Soul Freedom from the rounds of samsara; birth, death, rebirth? What exactly is this Soul Freedom? 

Let us think about the Saints of East and West for a moment. Before they attained sainthood, they lived many earthly lives, as we have; each life accelerating the Individual Soul toward its goal of Freedom. The process of living either adds to our Soul’s Self-Mastery, or adds to our Lower, Human Nature, and thereby delaying the Soul’s Self-Mastery. Eventually, through passing the required “tests” and “initiations,” the Soul attains its Ascension. This is the ultimate goal and the Immortality a Saint enjoys. 

Furthermore, the desirability of Soul Freedom is in the attainment of the “original blueprint;” the original Individuality or “Image” of God, which he bestowed onto the Soul upon its Creation. Let us not limit the word “image” to only an outer resemblance, as in a picture. But, let us expand it even into the attributes of the molecules of Light Substance composing the Soul. That image includes, Divine Power, albeit clothed in the Perfection of Humility. > It would include, Divine Love for all Life of the One Light. > The Image of God, as the Cause & Principle governing the Laws of Physics, would be another aspect of the Image of the Soul. Can we not begin to see, here, how loaves and fishes could be multiplied? All Knowledge and all Wisdom would also be aspects of the newly re-gained Divine Image of the Soul.

Another gift inherent to Souls, since the beginning, is Free Will. This is the principal part of the Image or Aspects of God. If He would not have given us Free Will, He would have enslavement of the Souls. But…this would be absurd for the Being Who Is Love. When Free Will is misused, we have the disintegration of that which has been built and created. God’s gift of Free Will is never apart from the will of man, although man does not choose to inquire, probe and expand his understanding of Divine Laws. In his impatience, man does not see that when the higher Will is shunned for the lesser will, the result is loss of Light, loss of health, loss of money, and the inability to recreate "a fulfilled state of existence." This is what the New Age community calls, “bad Karma.” 

In learning the Metaphysics of Energy we learn the Metaphysics of Spirit. How Spirit works is the same everywhere in the Universe, including in our lives and within our very own bodies. Both Spirit and Matter follow the Laws of the One Will. The only interference to this harmonious flow is the Human Will. The key to Harmony is alignment to the Will or Law that has formed and guided Life to its perfect fulfillment since all time. Hence, to raise the Soul from the bondage of the Human condition and adhere to the Will of its own Being, is the insurance to our Freedom and the fulfillment of our Destiny. 

The Individual Soul is then free to blend its achievements with the Hierarchy of Saints who have already graduated from earth’s evolution. In joining the heavenly ranks, the Individualized Flame that each one of us really is, can then be accessible to assist and to teach others how to fulfill their destiny, on their journey along the Path back Home.

Imagine how refreshing it would be if one understood the Metaphysics of Spiritual Laws as easily as daily tasks? It is possible to attain a level of consciousness whereby obedience to Spiritual Principles is no longer a struggle. It is possible to reach a higher level of thinking, comprehending, and even grouping the perceptions of several events into one cohesive explanation. Creating from the Essence of Light and manifesting works of greater joy, beauty and true advancements would then be present in our personal lives and in the world.

The path of the ancient mystics required the same obedience that a spiritual life requires today. Through prayer, meditation, study, service, fasting and leading a pure life, a mystic was able to raise his/her consciousness to the point where “a teacher” could dispense the secret knowledge necessary for his/her Soul’s Evolution. Today, in the Age of Aquarius, more tools are available because, as prophecy states; the time will be shortened for the elect; you and I who have embraced the Greater Will. > There are preliminary dispositions and then, basic requirements to even enter a path such as presented here. As we create, more of the same is given. Creating is the mastery of Metaphysical Laws. If we create change by choosing, for example, the Buddhic stances of “right action” and “right mindfulness,” all will be well with us. Then and only then we could say, “All Power in Heaven and on Earth is given onto us.”
