Each one of us has the Divine Right, as well as the individual ability, to awaken to the remembrance of the vibration of Divine Love in our being. This awakening process is evolutionary and happens in baby steps, even though the results can be downright revolutionary when looked at after the fact.
I have deliberately tried to use non-denominational language in order to help you not put ‘new wine into old wineskins’... or, in other words, to help you avoid putting new thoughts into old and limiting belief systems. If the term ‘Divine Light’ seems just too non-denominational to resonate for you, then substitute it with the terminology you are used to using in your own spiritual theology. Words are designed to communicate concepts that our intellect can grasp. Spiritual understanding is only something that can be felt from within and goes way beyond the limitation of words.
The first step? Deciding to take the journey. Congratulations, you might have already started. You’re here at any rate.
The important thing to remember is this: the answer you seek in anything reveals itself to you in ways that are private to your understanding.
Which brings us to the first key to self illumination.
The first key is to allow yourself to grow in your conscious awareness of your own Divine Soul... whether you have been studying your own spirituality for one minute or one hundred years, the learning never stops because Infinity goes on forever. The minute you think, “I’ve got it down pat,” is the minute you’ve stopped listening to your Divine Soul and you’ve started to let your false ego reign once again.
This means waking up out of the trance state of human fears that have convinced you that you are ‘less than’ or ‘not enough’, that you need to be ‘in control’ and/or you already know it all.
The lessons on DIVINE LIGHT VIBRATIONS are designed to help you move out of the limitations of your past and step into a world of conscious awareness which will bring you more joy, peace, fulfillment and happiness than any car, job, house, relationship or 'thing' could ever bring you. As one colleague in the Light put it, you stop ‘living by default’.
As you go through the lessons, listen to what resonates within you as true. If you've been working and playing in the world of your spiritual awareness for a while, try to recognize your truths on deeper levels than before, instead of intellectually saying, “Yeah, yeah, I know that.” There are literally worlds between knowing something intellectually and recognizing it from the center to circumference of your being. I’m going to say this more than once in the course of presenting the Principles: infinity is a pretty huge concept and our growth is never ending.
That 'recognition of truth' you feel is your Divine Soul speaking to you. Your Divine Soul, which is directly connected on the deepest level to the original Source of Creation, knows you better than anyone else and is ever patiently guiding you along the way.
The more you wake up, the more you embrace the Divinity of who you are. In other words, you quit trying to be who you were taught to be - either by parents, teachers, spiritual gurus, friends, lovers, children, siblings, your own interpretations of personal experiences - and start being who you really are: a Divine Soul who is simply having a human experience.... in an unlimited conscious Universe.
Want to know when the real voyage in consciousness begins? When you embrace your own Divinity in its infinite capacity to Love. That’s when you have the courage to go beyond everything you thought you ever knew.
EXERCISE:
1. As much as you are able to recognize at this point, write down ways you have been conditioned to believe...
you are ‘less than’ ________________________________
you ‘have it down pat’ ______________________________
you need to fight for _______________________________
you feel out of control _____________________________
you need to control _______________________________
you sense there is something more to _________________ and/or
any other kind of polarity thinking ________________________
2. Ask yourself, “Am I ready to release, and move on from, these old dynamics?”
3.If not, then at the very least, try to enjoy them more!
4.Listen to the ten minute recorded meditation on the Basic Activation of the Divine Light Vibration. (I just linked it for you - it’s in the Guided Meditation Podcast section of the website). The same meditation can be found in the Guided Meditation Video section also.
5.If you are ready to release any old belief systems, without understanding anything more than you currently do about the application of the transformational qualities of the vibration of Divine Light, which is Divine Love, declare to yourself, “Okay. I now release __(fill in the blank)___ to the Divine Light Vibration and allow it to transform into illumination. Take me to the next level. ” Then, let it go and let the Divine Light do the work. This works in direct proportion to your willingness to allow it to work.. and from how deep in your heart space you are when you ask for the transformation. As you go through the lessons, you will learn to cooperate with the process using a more focused intention.
6.If you aren’t quite ready to let them go, but would like to become ready, then ask for it by declaring to your Divine Soul, “Grow me to where I am ready to release _________ to the Divine Light for transformation into illumination. Take me to the next level.
