~ Preface ~
This book serves as a Testament to the events of my own Spiritual Awakening. Since the gist of this book was written from cover to cover before I read anything spiritual and before I spoke to anybody else concerning spiritual matters, it is pure on its own since it has in no way been influenced by any other writing or suggestion.
This is my account…
My Enlightenment
I have seen a Great Light! It is the Light of Self. It is the Light unto all Truth. It can never cease. I have seen Reality. Yes, I have seen God; for I was once a mind incarnate and attained to Self in the moment.
Hear this! I was thrust into the Heavens and beheld the “Document of Creation”. This Document stretches across the Heavens, holding the blueprint of all that is. I read It, for It was given to me [to read]. I knew that I was always [with] this Document for It was [but a reflection of] my Nature. And so it was that, in this way, I became [spontaneously] Enlightened - reborn into Myself as Myself; and I saw all things for the first time! A Fountain of Life welled up from within me, spewing forth the Heavens and all things. It’s from this Fountain that I write.
The World is Lost!
The world is in Darkness. It is outrageously lost and profoundly deceived. Despite this, Light ventures even here still! Yes, a Sign is here, yet little of It is seen. It screams out, yet little of It is heard. Will the world ever see with its sight? Will it ever hear when it listens? And of the nature of this Sign that comes to the world, what is Its Name? It is none other than Oneself, the Bringer of Life, for It brings even this very world! Yet man cannot see Himself! Instead he runs from Himself and cries out [only in vain] to his own inventions of God. What madness! Can he not see that he (man) is All?
Of all of creation, man is indeed at a terrible Loss! Where is Hell? Any carnal man will surely know; for he goes to great lengths to make his home there. He tries to lay his head on the earth, but death overtakes him, if not in the moment, then in the very next. No wonder all men die! Man’s abode is not here in the world but in Himself. If a man is Himself, he is indeed [the Bringer of] All.
Intelligence
It is the intelligence of man that has landed him so squarely in his terrible spiritual predicament – the quagmire of psychology, religion and [even] mainstream spirituality. You see, man’s intelligence gets him to fear, and so he creates religions and the like to still his mind for him, for he does not have the strength to face Himself. And so, in this way, he deceives himself. People, in grave error, assume to be individual beings with their own identities, separate from their fellow man and from God. They assume too that the world is “about” them, as if “surrounding” them. Of course a sane unenlightened person will always see the world in just this one way, for this is how the world comes to such a person; for the extent and nature of that person’s consciousness permits only this single one-dimensional understanding of Himself.
The Purpose of this Book
This book corrects many common misconceptions and reveals only Truth. You will not find the Truth in religion. Neither will you find It in Spirituality. You will find It only in Yourself, as Yourself.
A Truth most Glorious has indeed been given to me! The purpose of this book is to convey this Truth; and I write this book out of passion! I was never schooled in this way. I simply have the Knowledge, for It is [but a projection of] Myself. Know this:
If you can face
Yourself without reservation
If you can become Yourself without hesitation
You will know the meaning of God.
For it is the sole purpose of man to
Become Himself.
This book reveals many Esoteric (hidden/obscure) Truths, and is written to assist man in becoming Himself. It is not some hype spiritual book with nice thoughts and phrases to make you feel good about yourself. No, it simply presents to you [my own] Truth based on the personal experiences and revelations that comprise the holistic Reality that I am and that you too can, in your own way, find yourself to be.
My Truth
As indicated, I purport not the Truth but rather my Truth, for my Truth is of course, for me, none other than the Truth. This is Truth. For it is all that I know – all that I am. I am Truth. Little I know, but what I know, I know in all fullness. I know it thus as [an emission of] Myself.
I am momentarily here in the world as all who can see Themselves. For does not the whole world come to the one who sees Himself? This [notion] is Me. Yes, I am here for now – basking in this, our comfortable illusion. I do this to bring to the world a message. This message is [of] Myself. It is [of] Yourself - for it is [of] the Nature of Self. Yes, I bring a message – my incarnation; and write of what I know – of what I Am. And what am I? I am the call of the morning bird; I am the spark that rises from the bonfire; I am the wind on the face; I am the sun that beats down. I am a Sign. I am a Voice. I am the Bringer of Life. How can you not know Me? For I am You.
Self-Attainment
The overwhelming philosophy of this book is around the attainment to Self. That is, to be Oneself – however expressed. The type of attainment spoken of here requires no effort. Oneself is not something to become. It is something to be! One is already Oneself. All that is needed is for the fullness of man (his personality) to realize this. This kind of truth (which is close to the ultimate Truth, Transcendence) can only be realized instantaneously – in the moment. This is Pure Enlightenment - Buddha.
One should only follow one’s own path, whatever it may be and wherever it may lead. In light of this then, it doesn't matter if you agree or disagree with what’s written in this book [with what I say]. Indeed in life, when all is said and done, nothing matters at all. This is so because each and every soul is perfectly placed and in absolutely no need of anything – not religion, spirituality, correction, improvement, council, instruction or even evolution. It is the mind that needs to be tamed and reassured. To this end then, this book is not directed at the soul but rather at the mind. It is thus primarily philosophical in nature.
The Authenticity of the Teachings
Everything in this book is completely true, with not the slightest hint of exaggeration. Many of my statements will most certainly appear to be totally outrageous to say the least; so, despite my fear of using the “open-mind” cliché, I nonetheless use it here and urge you to indeed keep an open mind!
Though unique, the Teachings of this book do overlap substantially with Esoteric Philosophy and eastern Spiritual Teachings, which are the oldest, truest, and most established Teachings known to man. Many gurus would agree with the fundamentals of the Teachings made known to me, for these Teachings are constant, universal, and available to all who can face Themselves head-on.
Everything in this book comes from within myself; and serves as a testament to my own spiritual experiences – if I experienced something phenomenal, I wrote it down. The gist of this entire book was first written from cover to cover before I read any other spiritual book – so great was my passion to get it all down and tell the world! Only correct terminology was subsequently added to keep the terminology in this book consistent with all the other spiritual material out there. For example, I did not know what to call a “chakra”, so I originally called it an “energy pool” - where energy would be gathered, concentrated and pooled where crisscrossing lines of energy met. What would then result (out of this concentration of energy) was a reality distinct in itself. I only later learned that the lines of energy are called “nadis” and the energy grid, the “Etheric* Web”; and this web I know to be the ethereal body. I was well acquainted with this body – so acquainted was I that it used to split open in line with my spine to accommodate the uncurling of wings.
* One should actually call “etheric” by the proper English term of “ethereal” which means ghostly, airy, light or insubstantial. In other words the ethereal body is very light and pretty insubstantial – not gross and dense like the physical body. The ethereal body is dense enough, though, to be seen, say some, with the physical eye (although I haven't).
In another example, what I used to term a “spirit enlargement” - where I would be both inside and slightly outside my body at the same time and look with understanding through my head from behind it with near 360-degree vision - I subsequently termed the “secondary brow chakra”. I knew that this chakra was about 30 cm behind the head, a little lower than the eyes, but simply didn’t know what to call it at the time. I made an illustration of it, which you can find in my chapter on the Chakras.
About a year later, when I first read about the chakras, I immediately knew that it was one of them, even though all the material that I had perused [at the time] made no mention of it at all. It was only years later that I found a book that made mention of it. It clearly showed that we have a secondary brow chakra behind the back of the head, a little lower than the eyes, but for years I had been using it, and insisted that it was the only chakra used for clairsensory reception. Almost all books on the chakras fail to mention this particular one! Why is this, when this chakra is all-important in clairsensory [energy] reception?
I had already experienced all these things first-hand without ever even knowing about their existence from an external source, let alone reading or being told about their specifics. So there was just no way that my spiritual experiences came about through psychological suggestion. It came purely from within myself. It thus came from the Cosmos Itself – the direct and Purest emission of God (Consciousness).
Before my time of Enlightenment I was not at all spiritual; neither had I ever studied or read anything of a spiritual nature. Then overnight I became sufficiently Self-Realized. As a consequence, I experienced many great spiritual phenomena such as my ethereal back splitting open, wings uncurling, and white / blue light shooting out the top of my head as a fountain - that spawned many Heavens. Now, if this was sudden madness then why did I experience what I only later stumbled upon through my investigations to be what can be experienced when one ascends through several vibrational shifts in consciousness?
You see, it was only years later when I was telling someone about my experiences that I was given this book on contacting angels. It explained a meditative procedure on how to substantially raise one's vibrational frequency in order to communicate with them. The visualizations in the book dealt with the splitting open of the ethereal back, the unraveling of wings and light shooting out the top of the head and connecting with the Heavens. But all this I had already experienced first hand. No one taught me. It was no visualization. It was real – far more so (of course) than our own reality.
When all these things happened to me, it was of a Reality so profound that I did not even question it. Neither have I to this day. It would be like questioning the fact that one breathed as a child! Rather I embraced it even more naturally as breathing, for I had found Life! I did not have to prove or find out that I was not alone in my experiences. I simply knew that what was made known to me was of a substance Profound and Absolute in nature. So Absolute was it that, as I say, It was [of] Myself alone. In the way that one comes to this world (as a newborn baby), so too was it that I became Enlightened. In fact the two are one - both refer to a pure [enough] understanding of God [so as to bring about an expression of God] - for a baby this means physical re-birth, for myself it was spiritual re-birth. Indeed, I was literally Born Again. This is why I saw the whole world for the first time. Yes, it was God that I saw – since I and God are One.
I refer to the Teachings in this book simply as "The Teachings" and not as "my teachings" because my earthly self certainly cannot claim authorship - this earthly self of mine is but a voice, a channel, a messenger. These teachings are not my own. They have risen from within me. They come from Myself/God, of which my incarnate self is but a dimension.
