Walking the path 
The path of spiritual development is similar to a ladder. The ladder is the scale of vibrational frequency (VF); its rungs are levels of spiritual attainment. Our thought patterns determine our level of attainment, with negative thoughts dragging us down and positive thoughts elevating us. The higher we rise, the nearer we approach oneness with The All.

We don’t progress just because we desire it, or think we are ready for it; rather, it is achieved gradually. We grow into more profound awareness by becoming adept at hearing our thoughts. This helps us further refine and reduce our negative thoughts. This workbook has set out the path for doing so. The work has taught you how to work consciously with your guide. You will have brought positive change into your life and begun to sense your soul’s potential. Further progress is gained by resolving inner conflicts at ever-deeper levels, and further refining and reducing your thoughts. After all, we are complex creatures, so there is always another level of understanding to be gained.


No one can push us up a ladder; we must climb willingly




Who we are 
All entities within this universe are emanations of "The All”. All are 'Sparks' of intelligence learning and working our way back to reunite with The  All.

Thought projected itself into space-time and generated life

“What, you ask,
was the beginning of it all?
And it is this...
Existence that multiplied itself
for sheer delight of being
and plunged into numberless trillions of forms
so that it might find itself innumerably”
Sri Aurobindo, Indian nationalist, philosopher, yogi,
guru and poet




Where we live 



Pisces-Cetus Supercluster Complex (PCSC)
We live in an area of the universe called Pisces-Cetus Supercluster Complex (PCSC). It contains at least five superclusters of galaxies, one of which is Laniakea. PCSC is governed by Sovereign Majesty, a spiritual/physical entity.

Laniakea Supercluster
This super supercluster contains at least eight superclusters, one of which is Virgo. Laniakea is governed by a spiritual/physical entity titled Regent, known as Lord of All the Worlds.

Virgo Supercluster
We call this structure “Local Group”. It is governed by a spiritual/physical entity titled Vice-Regent.

Local Group and nearest galaxies
Located in Virgo Supercluster, Local Group contains innumerable galaxies, the three largest of which are Andromeda, Milky Way and Triangulum. The galaxies are overseen by entities titled Commander.

Milky Way Galaxy
Designated a Twelve Sector galaxy, the Milky Way provides a 12-step course in spiritual/physical development. This means Sparks choosing to experience existence in matter will go through an intensive course of learning. Governors-General oversee the spiritual progression of entities incarnating within each sector.

Who's in charge (Governance hierarchy) 
One of the biggest problems facing humanity is the lack of unbiased judicial oversight to ensure fair and equitable treatment is upheld for all citizens. Let me assure you, this oversight exists. It is not here yet, or at least not that we can see, but it has come before and it is coming again. This system has resources not available to humans, not the least of which is access to the Akashic life records. This, coupled with the ability to ensure all souls involved in situations are available to state their position and defend their choices and actions, all while knowing their thoughts have been recorded, ensures Truth is revealed. Thus Divine Judgment ensures Divine Justice

Our Milky Way Galaxy is located within the boundaries of the galactic filament Pisces-Cetus Supercluster Complex (PCSC), a structure containing innumerable superclusters of galaxies, containing innumerable planetary systems, containing innumerable physical life forms. Each system in this structure is governed by entities of the highest spiritual calibre.

The All 
This universe is an emanation of "The All”. It is Thought, manifesting as the Source of everything. It is vast intelligence, and responsive, creative, unconditionally loving, energy. The All is known as, “It Brings into Existence That Which Exists in Its Thoughts”. It is itself nameless because no one created it. At the instant of the Big Bang, The All brought into existence not only the physical elements of the universe; it multiplied itself into innumerable spiritual elements, or Sparks. The All hears every thought of every element of its creation. We sense its energy as unconditional love.

Excerpt from The Book of Formation (external site):
"... the concepts of limit, distinction, measurability, superiority, etc., do not apply to “HE WHO IS”: these notions are all metaphors designed and established by “HE WHO IS” to be applied to His creatures that HE had also designed by Himself and within Himself and that will be manifested outside of Him in order to bring these creatures to understand who is “HE WHO IS”."


Sovereign Majesty 
Sovereign Majesty develops that which The All brought into existence. Sovereign Majesty is not The All, although we tend to perceive its vast power and magnificence as the ultimate Source. It is Lord of Wisdom and Sharer of Information.

Sovereign Majesties are those Sparks who first chose to manifest in physical matter. Over countless eons and incarnations, these Ancient Ones became aware of The All and, by communicating with it, learned of the Akashic blueprints formerly known as “The Tablets of the Heavens”. By following the Blueprints, their desire to serve The All is achieved. They guide Sparks entering physical incarnations in their particular domain to advance their spiritual knowledge and experience and ultimately regain union with The All. Sovereign Majesties exist now as sentient energy in a state of unconditional love; thereby avoiding the physical effects of aging and decay. They and their Divine Messengers are capable of lowering their VF to the point they become tangible to humans.

Our Sovereign Majesty governs PCSC, has appeared to humanity throughout the ages and around the world, and is known by many names.


Sovereign Majesty, Registrar and Logos Praxis Omnia
Through their profound desire to serve The All, these entities work together to enact the Akashic Blueprints of PCSC, enabling Sparks to gain profound spiritual enlightenment in accordance with the physical and spiritual laws governing this universe.


Registrar - Hall of Akashic Records and Blueprints 
Oversees and maintains all PCSC records including Akashic Blueprints, events within its space-time stream, activities of resident Sparks whether in or out of physical form), and more. Registrar is Gatekeeper of access to records for all Sparks residing in PCSC.

Registrar, in close collaboration with Sovereign Majesty and Logos Praxis Omnia, deliver the covenant educational program, i.e., Reincarnation and Karma, for Sparks incarnating in PCSC. The program’s founding principles are truth, unconditional love and free will. It is intelligent, dynamic and just, and the means by which we learn our way back to The All.


Logos Praxis Omnia 
Logos Praxis Omnia (literally “Enacting the Word of The All), is a group of highly evolved entities collaborating closely with Sovereign Majesty and Registrar to create the genomes for physical forms In Pisces-Cetus Supercluster Complex (PCSC), the area of the universe in which our Milky Way Galaxy is located. Abiding by the Akashic blueprints, they ensure physical forms are available for installation on each new planet deemed appropriate to accept life. Through observation and intervention, they ensure the continual spiritual evolution of inhabitants of those planets.


Regent, Vice-Regent 
Oversee development of the ever-expanding PCSC, monitoring formation of new galaxies’ solar systems and planets, preparing appropriate planets to accept physical life, or ‘terraforming’. They build transportation infrastructure to enable access to those new systems.


High Commander, Commander
Oversee Diplomacy and Unity of purpose within PCSC.


Governor General, Governor, Lieutenant-Governor 
Ensure Sparks within their domain attain the required level of spiritual understanding before advancing to the next level of learning. They collaborate with their peers to continually refine the learning program. Governors ensure incoming entities are directed to the specific planet matching their learning needs, and that they achieve their goals before advancing. Additionally, these entities form an assembly of representatives of inhabited worlds throughout their domain, called the Divine Council of Worlds. Those from our Milky Way Galaxy will be in attendance at the tumultuous close of the current cycle of Soul Development on Planet Earth. Additionally, all Sparks who have ever incarnated on Earth will return, or have already returned, to be present for the "Great Spiritual Reckoning". See Resurrection


Premier Magistrate, Chief Magistrate, Magistrate 
Ensure Sparks incarnating within their locality attain the necessary level of spiritual understanding before advancing to another locality. Entities may remain for several lifetimes.


Companion guides and faculty 
Accompany, lead and oversee Sparks’ development over the course of their innumerable Milky Way incarnations. See guide. Some guides are faculty members. They ensure Sparks experience the full spectrum of lessons available in their domain. They deliver curriculum, plan lessons, assess spiritual growth through relentless testing and evaluate VF data, all in collaboration with Sparks’ individual guides.


Divine Messengers 
These Representatives of Sovereign Majesty are androgynous, as are we all when not in physical form. They can appear to us as any life form we imagine, or fear. We might call them God, spirits, angels or messengers, or even aliens. They work and intervene with incarnating souls to keep us moving forward spiritually and technologically. They do so in accordance with the Spiritual Laws as set out in the Akashic blueprints. They lead us on our journey toward enlightenment and ultimate reunion with The All. While they are not “God” as such, they speak on behalf of Sovereign Majesty as emissaries.


Sparks 
All entities within this universe are emanations, or sparks, of intelligence projected by The All. Our purpose is to go forth and learn, to gain full understanding of the true nature of this universe, ultimately returning to The All. Sparks choosing to enter human form are accompanied by their personal companion/teacher guide. Through repeated incarnations, we gradually build our soul or spiritual personality. The guides, who are also Sparks, are highly developed spiritual entities. They abide by the will of The All and the spiritual laws of the universe. We may communicate with our guide in every moment.

We enter one physical form at a time beginning approximately at physical birth, and remaining approximately until physical death, of that physical form. There are required lessons for each Spark's spiritual development on Planet Earth, and we are tested, relentlessly, to ensure those lessons are met and learned. We build our soul identity with the help of our guide, who ensures we meet the experiences needed to achieve our ultimate purpose, reunion with The All. We cannot know our progress while incarnated - not yet anyways - but after each incarnation our VF is measured, revealing the net gain or loss produced by our reactions to our experiences.




Process of entering life in physical 
We Sparks enter Milky Way via 1st Sector. Learning begins by propelling ourselves into physical matter for gradually lengthening periods of time, to become accustomed to physical sensations like heat/cold, pleasure/pain, darkness/light, silence/sound, and so on. Successful completion of the required lessons of Sectors 1 through 11 enables advancement to the 12th and final sector.

12th sector contains numerous solar systems with planets harbouring physical life, of which Planet Earth is but one. This sector tests incarnating entities’ understanding of the galaxy’s lessons and can be thought of as a ‘galactic finishing school’. Here we learn the connection between that which we think and that which we experience, so we may come to understand the immense power of Thought.

Preparation
Before ever entering our first physical incarnation, we are assigned a spiritual companion guide for the duration of our sojourn here. With them, we attend classes to prepare us for what is to come. Souls are taught the meaning of, and consequences for, the following:

During our sojourn here, we eventually learn:



Required life experiences 
Before entering physical form, Sparks agree to experience a program of required life experiences over the course of multiple incarnations. These include, but are not limited to, the following:


These experiences are provided so we may learn our way back to Source. We attend further classes between incarnations. After completing an incarnation, our VF is measured to determine the course of experiences for our next lifetime.

Leaving a lifetime at a particular level does not guarantee we will enter our next incarnation at that level. Awakening depends on our reactions to the life lessons presented in a lifetime. Achieving each level of spiritual self-awareness, and desiring the next, ensures presentation of the next level’s challenges.

Overcoming the challenges presented by life in physical form raises our VF, freeing us of the need to continue incarnating. We may spend countless lifetimes here due to the many attachments we form. Not only do we become attached to the people we meet, but even more importantly, to the thought patterns and beliefs we form. Letting go of these becomes our biggest challenge. One belief in particular keeps us stuck in the reincarnation cycle: when in human form, we can be seduced by the idea this reality - life in human form - is the only reality. Ultimately though, spirit trumps flesh.

Astrological and numerological connection
These systems provide a road map for souls incarnating on Planet Earth. The negative traits of the signs or life numbers are challenges Sparks will face; the positive traits are strengths to help us overcome the challenges. The time, place and circumstances of the soul’s human birth provide the experiences (a.k.a. karma) needed for our advancement. We do not ‘choose’ these experiences; rather, they are set out for us. We voluntarily accept them, knowing overcoming them will bring us closer to reunion with The All.

Astrology and numerology provide a sort of ‘menu of spiritual tendencies’ incarnating Sparks may experience as part of their development. The day, time and location of birth may enhance specific traits, positive or negative. Our challenge is to overcome negative tendencies and strengthen positive ones. Our reactions to our life experiences determine the next phase of spiritual development and required experiences. The time, place and circumstances of human birth are the result of our reactions during previous incarnations. It is not that we choose a particular birthdate; rather, it is set for us. We voluntarily accept it knowing overcoming its challenges will bring us closer to our ultimate goal of rejoining The All, as a divine element of the Universal Intelligence.

Our aim as souls is to return to our original vibrational frequency which allows us to exist in a state of profound spiritual awareness and unconditional love.




Seeking - and following - guidance 
Think about it: our guide knows where we need to be and when we need to be there. By following guidance, it becomes possible, depending on our required life lessons, to avoid situations with negative consequences, and to embrace the joys life has to offer. We can miss getting stopped by a train making us late for an appointment, or we may avoid getting into an accident. We might arrive at the store just in time to get that perfect parking spot, or to buy the last available sale item.

Seeking guidance can be thought of as ‘surrendering free will’. As scary as this might sound, here’s what it actually means: We make a commitment to ask for advice from our guide before making a decision, and then follow it. Needless to say, the need to learn to recognize Truth is of paramount importance in this endeavour.

Before following guidance, we are free to ask why a particular recommendation is given, rather than obeying blindly. We seek guidance to help us be, and do, our best. We are free to choose whether to follow it or do as we wish, but as we progress through this phase of development, we come to build trust in our guide’s wisdom. As our commitment deepens, so too does the likelihood of receiving a physical signal if we ‘forget’ to seek guidance. Signals help us keep on track to remain true to our commitment to be and do better.

We get used to making snap decisions … what to wear, what to eat, which products to use, where to live, work and play, so it takes time to unlearn the pattern of independence and replace it with seeking input from our guide. If we slip back into auto pilot mode, we risk reverting to making snap decisions rather than seeking guidance. The process of learning to seek and follow guidance is gradual, enabling us to learn more about ourselves, and about human behaviour in general. The process develops our patience, tolerance, humility and trust and enables us to reshape, old, negative behavioural patterns.

How do I do it?
When making a choice, begin with asking for assistance. The words “Please guide me” or “What would you like me to do?” or “What do you recommend?” are effective because they are free of judgment and control. Say the words aloud and then listen to your thoughts for instructions. Aim toward following guidance in all things, but know this is a slow, gradual process of building trust. Sounds simple enough, right? It is, but only until the Universe asks something of us that interferes with our wishes or beliefs. Then we start finding out how deeply entrenched our patterns have become. Our commitment will be tested, rigorously.

Raising consciousness
Seeking guidance - and following it - opens the door to a more meaningful reality. Doing so enables our guide to work with us in ways that are, quite frankly, incredible. Divine assistance enables us to raise our consciousness to new levels, and helps us find our way home to Source. It is not necessary to take an oath of poverty to advance spiritually, or to receive guidance. Higher awareness does not release us from the spiritual or the physical laws, nor does it give us free license to leave our body and go exploring the universe. Attaining Eighth level of awareness does not guarantee freedom from future incarnations. If this idea resonates within you, you may have followed this path in previous lifetimes. If you decide to undertake this journey and wish assistance, contact me directly.


What are the planes of existence? 
The physical and spiritual planes of existence are different types of reality. As souls in physical form, we live in both planes; we are subject to the laws governing each. In the physical plane, our body is physical; we experience space and time, have physical needs and suffer the effects of aging. In the spiritual plane, our soul is spirit; we have thoughts, attitudes, emotions, beliefs and desires. There is no escape from the spiritual plane, since spirit is our essential nature. We were created as emanations (or Sparks) of The All to go forth and experience, and, eventually, to return Home.



Levels of spiritual awareness and their characteristics 
Within the plane of spiritual existence are levels of awareness, or attainment. Humanity currently exists in the Third level. As this cycle draws to an end, countless karmic situations will be closed, both through individual efforts and by sacrifices others make on behalf of certain groups or individuals. Those who attain at least 3rd level cusp will continue their spiritual education in 4th level.

Since those who have become stuck here will be unable to tolerate the higher VF of 4th level, they will remain in 3rd level or be returned to 2nd or 1st level, to repeat the lessons needed to help them advance.

Certain characteristics are common to each level, and we can use this information to identify our current level of spiritual awareness. As we gradually refine and reduce our negative thoughts, our behaviours and traits improve. Some might call this a purification process, since it enables us to embrace concepts less concerned with earthly needs and wants.

Assess your status 
See Appendix B for each level’s characteristics, reading each row from left to right. The characteristics best describing your beliefs reveals your current level.

As we ascend the scale by learning more about ourselves and our place in the Universe, and especially through the practice of spiritual decluttering, we tend to become more open-minded and less self-serving; more tolerant of those who “know not what they do”.

First, second and third levels
We have thoughts, attitudes, emotions, beliefs and desires; we accept them as the only reality.


Fourth and fifth levels
In the fourth and fifth levels of spiritual attainment, we are awakening to the ideas our negative thoughts can be changed, the behaviours created by them can be re-patterned, and our physical condition is interwoven with our thoughts.

Sixth and Seventh levels
Of course there are benefits to doing this work. When we reach the Sixth level, our overall health improves and we become less needful of others’ attention and approval. We have more understanding of our true purpose for incarnating in this particular lifetime. Past life issues affecting us in this lifetime can be recognized and resolved. Heightened spiritual awareness brings recognition of our desire, and even a sense of responsibility, to be of service to The All.

In Seventh level, we have relatively few negative thoughts because they have been refined and reduced to the point if they occur, they are recognized, understood and released almost instantly. Our negative behaviours have been largely eradicated. We recognize old issues if they arise and work diligently to understand them more fully. The Universe will use our experiences to teach others, so we must be willing to share them. We can communicate in our old habitual ways without risk of slipping backward, to allow for more meaningful communication with others. Sharing our past eases signals our guides may have provided to draw our attention to the issue. Other effects felt in Seventh level:


The gradual process of working our way toward Seventh level enables us to exist there - in observation mode - for gradually longer, more frequent periods of time. In observation mode, we see what is happening around us without any thought of fixing or changing anyone or anything. We have become mostly free of negative thoughts, except in the case of extra-ordinary events in the physical plane. In such events, we seek and follow Universal guidance. We rebound from setbacks more easily than we ever thought possible. Developing the ability to maintain observation mode while going about the activities of daily life requires extreme dedication to building trust in our guide. This is done by seeking and following Universal guidance; not to be a robot, but to avail ourselves of higher wisdom and intelligence.

Eighth and higher levels
At our current stage of development, existence in Eighth level is possible only for fleeting moments, during profoundly traumatic or joyous experiences. Maintaining it after such events is the challenge. Our physical needs overtake our conscious connection to Source. "I need" and "I want" trick us into thinking our need or want is the only reality that counts, pulling our awareness away from Truth.

The cusps
Cusp intervals overlap each level. In the cusps, our thoughts, attitudes, emotions, beliefs and desires of the previous level are further refined and reduced before fully transitioning to the next level - whether up or down the scale. We know we have reached a cusp when we feel stuck, as if we have hit a wall or a plateau. This stuck feeling makes us crave change of almost any sort. We know within ourselves we need something, but since we cannot quite put a name to it, we settle for something we can identify - a new job, or mate, or home, or hairstyle, something. The trouble is, we are left wanting because material things cannot satisfy the craving for spiritual meaning in our lives. Before too long, we’re caught in a feedback loop of frustration followed by short-lived hope, followed by frustration, and so on and on. Save yourself time and money by using ‘stuck’ as motivation to gain deeper understanding of your particular issues.

The transitions
Each level, cusp and transition prepares us for our eventual return to Source.




Levels of spiritual awareness on the vibrational frequency scale 





Freedom to choose 
Every day, we make dozens, maybe even hundreds, of choices. We are free to choose what to think, feel, express, do, believe, and desire, but know this: there is a cost for making all these decisions: Every decision made without seeking options, is a missed opportunity to do better. While we may not see all available options, the guides do. Our guide knows exactly what we need to be doing, where we need to be and when we need to get there. We spend our lives making best guesses, often ending up in trouble. Our lives could be so much simpler, were we to seek, and follow, Universal guidance. Conditions for all life forms on Planet Earth, and even for the planet itself, could be vastly improved.

Refining our thoughts and re-patterning our behaviours opens new options. We can continue as we are, or we can choose to seek more guidance in our daily lives. Continuing as we are means we will be relatively happy and healthy, and treat others as we would like to be treated, but if we have built a healthy working relationship with our guide, the next step is a natural progression.

“Success comes to those who know and apply the law. Truth will triumph over all adversaries. Each one must learn by dear bought experience the difference between ‘human opinions’ and 'divine truth’, between 'human leading’ and ‘divine guidance’. ... So long as we get rid of selfishness, ignorance, envy, self-seeking and self-praise, the advance and prosperity of the movement is assured. But our duty is to be loyal to the Spirit of Truth, which commands us to sacrifice the personal for the Universal and our own selfish interests and opinions for the one Divine Center of truth and love, within each one where unity and harmony alone can obtain.”
