UNVEILING THE SPIRITUAL PATH
Chapter 3
🕊️
“To the soul, what constitutes a meaningful life is altogether different from what gives meaning to the outer persona, its mask. For the latter, living in the illusion of separation, meaning accrues through the aggrandizement of the individual self. This can occur through individual accomplishments in the world that confer status and prestige, through the accumulation of wealth and power, or through the achievements of family members. For the soul, meaning comes through the experience of essential oneness with humanity and all of Earth’s life, perceived through a subtler lens on a level of consciousness beyond the material plane. Purpose is found in contributing to the collective good and giving expression to the fundamental unity of all lives.
It is a law of evolution that consciousness precedes and shapes form. Physical science has shown that as the human brain advanced from the Neanderthal stage to the present, the human form has become increasingly more refined. Accumulated learning through experience on the physical plane served to enlarge the size, functionality, and complexity of the brain. At each stage of advancing awareness, the form became increasingly more upright and distinguishable from the animal form.
The upright human eventually became capable of hearing the inner voice of divinity, which begins as conscience—simple awareness of right and wrong. Yet, as history has amply demonstrated, that inner voice has been acknowledged only rarely. In the metaphorical story of Adam and Eve, it was human disobedience toward the will of God that caused the rupture from Divinity, which awakening souls who tread the Path are in process of repairing.
The soul who is able to hear the subtle voice is drawn to align with the evolving purpose held in the Mind of God. Adhering to inner guidance is what enables human consciousness to arise from the densest realm of matter to the plane of the soul, where the progressive unfoldment of the divine spark takes place. If you can grasp this idea, the destruction of the dense physical realm of Earth will be seen in a new light. What is being destroyed is the habitability of a dimension of life where humanity developed into its present state of consciousness and form. By destroying Earth’s capacity to sustain physical life, global forces of selfishness are exposing the limits of their power, while opening a door to the revelation of a sphere of life that transcends the physical.
The planetary shift that has been anticipated by generations of seekers is intimately connected with a radical shift in consciousness—from the ordinary human self, the personality mired in the material world, to the soul—the spiritual being that first awakens in the heart. This being gradually recognizes itself as part of the fabric of our planetary life with a substantial role to play in furthering its evolution. In the new era, on a subtler plane of our Earth, human beings will remove the mask and reveal their true identity, becoming co-creators of an entirely new world.”
