Sections 11 and 12 have been completely revised to look at the changes coming for humanity.

The end times
From one earth cycle (period of time between devastations of life on Planet Earth) to the next, humanity continues to evolve.

There is rising awareness of the idea we are living in the End Times, and humans being on the brink of a leap in evolution. Some believe this leap will magically happen after the long-prophesied final battles of World War III, or new technologies will transform us into 'super humans', or magical powers will suddenly awaken in us. It is said this change will begin an era of true world peace and with it, the end of suffering on Planet Earth.

Time for change
Time for change

What is not yet realized, or comprehended, is this. In order for humanity to continue its evolution, a separation is needed. Upon the rapidly approaching close of Earth School’s current semester, only those souls having attained a VF equal to or greater than Third Level Cusp will enter the new reality.

As you will know by now, our thoughts, attitudes, emotions, beliefs and desires impact our VF. Negative thoughts lower it and positive thoughts raise it. Over the next few years, humans will experience a profound spiritual shift, as the planet undergoes unimaginable physical changes. Our concern here is with the coming spiritual shift. Following the long-prophesied events will come a time of reckoning: the so-called “Days of Judgment”. Our current VF will be measured against our original VF (set at creation), to determine our next phase of spiritual development. Those with a VF below a certain level will continue their spiritual education in one place, while those above that level will continue in another. This is true for each and every soul, no matter our chronological age. After the coming events, a measure of soul memory will be restored to us so we may gain some understanding of what is happening to us, and to the planet.

Changing our old, negative thought patterns and resolving painful life experiences enables clarity of thought and prepares us for the coming changes. For those advancing, there will be a new, profound awareness of our connectivity with our guide and with The All. Our body will become ‘hybrid’, i.e., our VF will be increased, making us unable to interact with those in lower levels. Greed, disease, hunger, poverty and war will not exist, because they cannot tolerate the higher VF. Until then, we can prepare ourselves by refining and reducing our thoughts, for what, at best, have been described as cataclysmic events. Only complete honesty with ourselves can awaken us to the changes needed to advance. Ask your guide for their input about your life, your motivations and your beliefs, since it is easy to have an unrealistic opinion of self, for better or for worse. We are who we are; hiding from the truth only serves to keep us stuck.

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.

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.

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.

Levels of spiritual awareness and their characteristics

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.


“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.”
