These men have taken the time to truly and deeply ‘meet’ in spiritual friendship before making the attempt to bring together the content of their minds, traditions, and worldviews. From this grounding in Prior Unity, identified with the One Life, a deep synthesis naturally takes place and the result is a delightful dancing together of content and space, emptiness and form.
Spiritual traditions contain great jewels of wisdom, tumble polished to a rare beauty along the river beds of their lineages.
Informed and enriched by the traditions, but integrating and transcending them, they will ‘listen together’ to the waterfall of always already Spirit that is pouring from the eternal into each moment of time and space.
Radical contact with the Ground of Being is always available but the evolution of a civilization must be ripe to receive the lightning and transform itself into its next evolutionary potential. This requires integration, synthesis and embodiment.
(Ground of Being, evolution, and the ripe civilization)
In this book we follow the pre-modern traditional approach to spelling kosmos with a ‘k’, rather than a ‘c’. While the word spelled with a ‘c’ relates to the observable physical universe, when spelt with a ‘k’ it encompasses the entire realm of form, on all planes and realms, spiritual and material.
It is only detectable indirectly, owing to its gravitational effects upon visible matter. It provides the scaffolding, a dark backdrop of invisible structure that helps to frame anything that arises in its field. Although like dark matter it has mass, Integral as a system is virtually contentfree. The Trans-Himalayan teachings, and all spiritual traditions for that matter, Bruce explained, are therefore like galaxies. They are the content that arises in space.
Each tradition is a galaxy of light, dynamically accelerating in time through space, lighting up potentials for emergence, and orbiting a supermassive black hole of pure Reality transmission at its core.
(Integral as space; traditions as galaxies of light)
This book holds two primary intentions. In service of the all-encompassing, ever-victorious and enthroned Absolute Reality, the primary intention behind this book is to contribute to the empowered revelation of the sacred Purpose of the Earth in the kosmos. This naturally calls forth the emergence of an awakened, kosmocentric culture and civilization of Reality on Earth.
A fully radically awake being has conscious awareness of the involutionary process of Absolute Reality into relative form twenty-four hours a day. In this sense, the practitioner has gained full access to the ever-present universal base of Infinite Wakefulness.
According to both Integral Theory and wisdom traditions such as Vedanta, the first three of these states (Gross, Subtle, and Causal) can be seen as basic variations on the human sleep cycle. In a twenty-four hour period we move through states of waking (Gross), to dreaming (Subtle), to deep sleep (Causal).
souls who have penetrated with stability into the Infinite Awake Light beyond any tradition and who recognize each other as unique expressions of that Light.
(Planes of identification: personality, soul, monad)
Identification as the personality corresponds to the use of physical, etheric, astral/emotional and lower mental bodies. Identification as the soul corresponds to the use of the soul lotus body and the higher mental, buddhic and lower atmic sheaths. Identification as a monad corresponds to expression through the higher atmic, monadic and logoic bodies.
This is Shamballa, within which buddhas of vast realization and evolutionary advancement hold identification with and transmit the kosmic Will, Purpose and Life of the Earth into the various kingdoms of the planet.
In the stillness of the night, the Goddess whispers. In the brightness of the day, dear God roars. Life pulses, mind imagines, emotions wave, thoughts wander. What are all these but the endless movements of One Taste, forever at play with its own gestures, whispering quietly to all who would listen: is this not yourself? When the thunder roars, do you not hear your Self? When the lightning cracks, do you not see your Self? When clouds float quietly across the sky, is this not your own limitless Being, waving back at you? (Ken Wilber)32 32. Wilber, 2000a, p. 279-280.
(Radical awakening: nondual realization and its stabilization)
Radical awakening to the Absolute, and its continual recognition, relate to the aspect of spiritual development that most people refer to when they use the term Enlightenment.
When first becoming familiar with the phases of involution, it can be helpful to think of the process like water (H20) moving through state/ phase shifts from gas to liquid to solid. In this sense, Absolute Reality (H20) can be seen as manifesting as Causal Reality (gas) to Subtle Reality (liquid) to Gross Reality (solid). As described above, this process can be seen as sequential or all-at-once. One example of how Awakened Awareness remains as such, regardless of the state or phase that it is emanating as, can be seen in the example of liquid crystallography. Research has shown that in each perceived ‘transition’ phase between solid, liquid and gas, a dynamic crystal structure remains integral throughout, thus demonstrating the persistence of Suchness despite phase variance. All phases of relative creation, whether gas, liquid or solid, are equally water (H20). In a similar way, all phases of creation (Causal, Subtle, and Gross) are equally Awakened Awareness. From the perspective of state/phases, radical awakening is the process by which awareness recognizes itself as water rather than identifying as a specific state or phase of creation. When recognized as pure Suchness, clearly and without obscuration, Awakened Awareness is known directly as the very heart and source of everything in relative reality. The realization of the Absolute Nature of Existence is what is meant by the term radical awakening.
Once individual consciousness is seen through as a wave on the ocean of Reality, Awareness has the potential to recognize its natural Source as the continually unfolding Base of Existence.
The deepest vantage point is one free from all obscuration, rightfully resting perfectly and stainless as the undivided Sphere of Reality. This vantage point is radically unbounded Wholeness. What is left, as a result, is a dynamic spaciousness of Awareness that naturally co-arises unified and undifferentiated from all appearances, all form, all movements of consciousness, thought and feeling—all depths of the entire kosmic spectrum of relative reality. From this Nondual perspective, Awareness brilliantly shines forth, transcending, including and penetrating all of existence as an expression (or as the Tibetan tradition says, as ornaments) of its own natural Wholeness.
When such a realization is made a stable recognition twenty-four hours a day and is allowed to penetrate through all layers of relative reality it is traditionally defined as enlightenment. It is important to note that true Nonduality transcends and includes duality as a relative expression of itself. In the terminology of the lineages of awakening, Nondual realization corresponds to turiyatita, sahaja samadhi, Nondual Suchness, and the Great Perfection of Dzogchen.
You must awaken as the Clear Light that is the basis of all.
The Logoi are the radically awake and vastly evolved kosmic Lives who having awakened to buddhahood many ages ago are now incarnating through such massive structures as planets, solar systems, contsellations and galaxies, to hold fields for the awakening and evolution of all lives therein.
Chapter 10 Identification Jon The infinite Conscious Light that is Awakened Awareness and your true nature exists as an unqualifiable, perfect totality, beyond the limitations of linear time and dimensional space.
(Soul bodies, ashrams, and masters as evolutionary engines)
In the Vedantic teachings, the soul stores the trans-incarnational memory in what is called the vijnanamaya kosha, or the ‘wisdom-apparent sheath’.
In doing so, all souls within their great soul bodymind that is the ashram are themselves stimulated and empowered to grow and unfold over centuries
and millennia, into mastery. Necessarily also, to extend the supermassive black hole correspondence, the dynamic Presence of the master at the center continuously pulls all the orbiting sun-souls within their ashramic soul bodymind closer into the core.
It is taught that to support this process, the masters and high initiates of the planetary meta-sangha will externalize and walk again openly on Earth, and the collective culture and civilization of the planet will be rooted in the pure ethic of the soul, which is love.
Guides are figures of grace in our existence because they are part of the fulfillment of our destiny. Guides are complex entities, especially when they are Master guides. The awareness level of the soul determines to some extent the degree of advancement of the guide assigned to them.
In relation to such soul groups, these are our soul family—the group of souls with whom we have journeyed for perhaps centuries or millennia in and out of incarnation with, and for whom the soul depth of our hearts vibrates always with profound affection and affinity. Their spheres of relationship are large. In Michael Newton’s research, individuals in a state of transpersonal hypnosis describe ‘primary’ soul groups as made up of anywhere between three to twenty-five souls, with many of these primary soul groups composing a much larger ‘secondary’ soul group of about 1000 souls. The primary soul groups are those particular constellations of deep soul connection that carry on over lifetimes. These primary soul connections exist with those for whom we feel an immediate recognition upon meeting or knowing, one that is instinctual and intuitive yet not readily understandable by the mind. It is as if from behind and beyond our little memory from just this one life there resides a whole body of history in shared journeying and deep feeling. Again, with recognition that such intuitions may have their basis in reality, we can understand the lack of full consciousness concerning such connections to be related to the lack of established continuity in consciousness between the soul and personality altitudes of identification.
For some, such relationships will be found in their biological family. For others, they will express in the field of friendship or romance. Such relationships based on shared soul connection may work out in our professional life. Whilst identification resides in the personality bodymind (physical, emotional, and mental), these soul-based connections will most often be found in the individual’s own sphere of personal interactions, and will have most impact there. When the center of gravity is shifting into the soul, the connections will often begin to express…
In this process, and as the influence of the soul grows in the life of an individual, their understanding of the piece of world service it is their unique destiny to give progressively reveals itself. As this transpires, they will often move more and more purposefully into that field of human activity that corresponds to their soul ray (see the ray table above). In doing so, they progressively come into relationship with those other souls with whom they stand in one of the seven ray ashrams on the soul planes, and the various patterns of karma and destiny that they collectively share will move their lives like waves upon the ocean. As identification shifts into the monadic altitude and radical awakening is opened up as the Indivisible Reality of Being through which the…

Such workers must remain ‘free’ to follow the call of spirit when it comes. They are leaves which are moved by the wind which “bloweth where it listeth” (John 3:8). They must learn to respond to that inner call, the straight knowing which flows down the fiery current of their anchored antahkarana [the continuity of consciousness established between the personality, soul, and monadic altitudes of identification]—and in such a way they will widen this channel of fire. They are no longer held by group…

According to the Trans-Himalayan teachings that have come through the collaboration between Bruce Lyon and Djwhal Khul, both personal and soul-based relationships can be anchored in either the Law of Karma or the Law of Destiny. When rooted in the Law of Karma, it is the past that draws and holds us in relationship with each other. This often found to be the case in friendships, romantic relationships, and particularly in the case of biological family relationships over generations. These latter are often cases where the DNA inherited by younger generations serves as one the most fundamental reservoirs of karmic challenge and opportunity to face and work through whatever might be called for as a result of that which has occurred in previous incarnations. When a soul starts to come under the influence of the Will-force and Purpose identification of the monad, we start to become drawn and held in…
At this stage, each soul has awoken their capacity to stand alone as a living photon of kosmic light on Earth, and from that position of spiritual and personal autonomy can now choose to enter spaces of communion with others that are all the more powerful. This is because each has learnt to stand autonomously and move freely from their own awakening to Source.

Vertical relationship from a center of gravity in the soul has the capacity to extend ‘downwards’ into evolutionary life-spheres of humanity, the animal, vegetable and mineral kingdoms on the mental, emotional, etheric and physical planes.

The daily physical life of the Masters, of the Christ, and of those Members of the Hierarchy (initiates and accepted disciples) Who function in physical bodies, has had its orientation upon the subjective levels of life; the majority of Them, and particularly the senior Members of the Hierarchy, do not as a rule intermingle largely with the public or walk the streets of our great cities. They work as I do from my retreat in the Himalayas, and from there I have influenced and helped far more people than I could possibly have reached had I walked daily in the midst of the noise and chaos of human affairs. I lead a normal and, I believe, useful life as the senior executive in a large lamasery, but my main work has lain elsewhere— widespread in the world of men….
It is not the solitude of a separative spirit, but the solitude that comes from the ability to be non-separative, and from the faculty of identification with the soul of all beings and of all forms. This can best be accomplished in the intense quiet of those “protected” areas where the Masters in the various branches of the Brotherhood have chosen to dwell. This solitude and physical isolation enables
The expansiveness of their love is so full that the soul itself is humbled to near dust by the smallness of the love it is presently capable of demonstrating. The power of their presence is so awesome that in it, one may literally fear that one’s own consciousness could be shattered. Yet simultaneously, choosing to do so and to witness and learn from the profound mastery they demonstrate in working with the kosmic and Earth energies, from full radical awakening and a titanic degree of evolutionary advancement, can substantially accelerate a soul’s own path into supernova.
The process allows teaching, empowerment, and guidance to be shared among beings operating on different planes and at different stages of unfoldment, so that the ‘climbing selves’ of younger beings are supported in their evolution and awakening by elders.
great ashram of awakened souls and masters in Hierarchy, who both act as stewards for all younger souls on the soul planes and guides for all humanity, on the monadic planes it is understood there also exists a community of deep planetary significance. This is a collective of beings who having stabilised their evolutionary center of gravity in the monadic bodymind, and who stand as far ahead of the great soul-elders of Hierarchy in their now kosmic realization and identification as the latter do to humanity. Together, such awesome presences stand as a radically awake black hole of power, transmitting our kosmic Purpose into the planetary sphere. Together, they form Shamballa.
(DMT, the pineal gland, and subtle plane access)
DMT and the Eye of the Soul
One mode of opening up plane access (and relationship with beings residing on subtler planes than the physical) that is becoming increasingly prevalent in the West is through working with sacred plants, such as Ayahuasca, Peyote, Ibogaine, or certain forms of Psilocybin mushrooms. Many practitioners describe such plants as ‘entheogens’, which translates as “generating the divine within”. These plants have the chemical, biological, and energetic capacities to produce powerful, long-lasting experiences of conscious access to the environments and energies of subtle planes, as well as relational contact with their inhabitants.
The pineal gland is a small pea-sized structure in the bottomcenter of the brain. For millennia, sages and philosophers such as Plato, Hippolytus, Yogi Bhajan, Swami Sivananda, and Descartes have suggested that the pineal gland has special significance as the point of interface for the soul in the physical body. In the words of Descartes, “In man, soul and body touch each other only at a single point, the pineal gland in the head”.107
While Strassman’s hypothesis that spontaneouslyoccurring mystical experiences of inner plane access and relationship can be explained by sudden and unexpected releases of DMT from the pineal gland, I would suggest that a more stabilized form of this interaction is not just possible, but is the physiological basis of the third eye teaching held in so many of the world’s esoteric traditions. Teaching on a third eye, or a deeper capacity for sight available to human beings beyond our two physical eyes, which when ‘opened’ allows us vision into subtle planes of existence, beings residing on those planes, and some of the most profound mysteries of Existence itself, has a long lineage in the world’s esoteric traditions.
The more esoteric understanding is that it represents a faculty of soul-seeing that comes online for a being when their personality— mental, emotional, and physical—is sufficiently integrated that it produces energetic changes in the brow chakra, which is physiologically expressed in the altered activity of the pituitary gland. The pituitary integrates and regulates the activity of the other sub-cranial endocrine glands throughout the rest of the body with their various relations to our mental, emotional and physical nature.
The second development understood to facilitate the opening of the third eye according to its more esoteric consideration is when the pure love-consciousness and wisdom-light of the soul have been sufficiently embodied in the etheric-physical, and specifically the crown chakra, that the pineal gland reaches a whole new level of activation. This, it is suggested here, brings online its stabilized secretion of DMT in a healthy and balanced way. When such a stage of development is reached that these two chakras and glands come into this intimate bioenergetic relation, it is understood that at a third point within the head— the third eye—opens. This allows not just conscious vision into inner planes as well as relational contact on those planes, but the capacity…
As development along this line proceeds, there can unfold the activation of inner correspondences to the senses of touch, smell, taste, and hearing, too. As subtle correspondences to all five senses are activated, one can imagine an individual unfolding not just the capacity for soul sight into and relationship with the light on all planes, but the ability to hear the sounds of all accessed planes simultaneously; to intuitively taste and smell the flavor and odor of all consciousness and energy-matter of every accessed plane; and to be able to touch, physically, energetically, with consciousness and the empowering current of monadic Life-force, the consciousness and forms of all accessed planes. The above involves the unfoldment of more subtle correspondences to those inner capacities for contact that are inherent in the personality vehicles also—mental, emotional,…
Rather, as the highest and most profound schools of Buddhism tell us – Dzogchen, Mahamudra, Great Madhyamaka and Zen – it points to the true nature of reality as an infinite, groundless ground of pure openness that is also unconditioned consciousness, unending light and dynamic energy emanating as all things indivisibly. The Buddha taught that this pure openness is the true nature of every being. In Buddhism it is called buddha nature. And in a way that replicates the Vedantic teaching on Ultimate Reality as the Absolute Self, in some of his teachings, such as the Mahaparinirvana Sutra, the Buddha even goes so far as to describe buddha nature in terms of being the “true self ” of every individual. This is despite the heavy focus in so much of the rest of his teaching on anatman, or the non-reality of any individual self.
All of this points to and just how profoundly all-embracing, clear and practical the Buddha’s teaching was on the nature of Ultimate Reality and the path of radical awakening. Of course, it is important to note his teaching involves a path of opening to Non-dual Reality according to a 1st person perspective. That is, it entails engaging the path of radical awakening through an exploration and revelation of the true nature of one’s own 1st person consciousness. As we have said previously though, radical awakening can also be opened up according to 2nd person and 3rd perspectives. Exemplars of radical awakening opened up according to a 2nd person perspective would be the Sufi mystics, Ibn Arabi or Jalāl ad-Dīn Rumi, for instance. An exemplar of radical awakening opened up according to a 3rd person perspective is the Taoist sage, Lao Tze.
(Christ, planetary Logos, and Shamballa)
“Father, not my Will, but thine be done”. Later, his monadic identification with and as the Life of that Being was stabilized with the affirmation: “I and the Father are one”. Indeed, in the Trans-Himalayan teachings, it is understood that Christ’s use of the term “Father” referred specifically to his unfolding relationship with this vastly-evolved being that stands as the planetary Logos of the Earth. The opening up of such a relationship, whilst retaining identification with the entirety of both humanity and Hierarchy, is understood as unprecedented in our planetary history according to the Trans-Himalayan teachings.
So with his song, his icaro, he began to call forth the power, not only of the plants, but of animals as well. He invoked the power of the otorongo, the jaguar. In the vision I was having of him, I could see him place the spirit of the jaguar in the person he was healing, to protect him. This spirit or energy was transmitted through his icaro. It is here that we step into the world of shamanic forces because the shaman has the power to invoke these energies, these spirits.
The Dagara believe that contact with the otherworld is always deeply transformational. To successfully deal with it, one should be fully mature. Unfortunately, the otherworld does not discriminate between children and adults, seeing us all as fully-grown souls. Mothers fear children opening up to the otherworld too soon, because when this happens, they lose them. A child who is continually exposed to the otherworld will begin to remember his or her mission in life too early. In such cases, a child must be initiated pre-maturely.
Human beings who do have this capacity and who are moving into the advanced stages of radical awakening therefore hold a profound, planetary scale responsibility as the potential liberators of all the devic beings composing their embodiment. That responsibility is to surrender more and more deeply into Nondual realization so that it utterly saturates all form, including the lives that are their physical, etheric, emotional and mental bodies, allowing each and all of these to participate fully in radical awakening and dissolve in total Self-Realization. Again, this process naturally unfolds in a 3rd to 2nd to 1st person sequence, with that which is initially deemed simply 3rd person objective form (such as the physical body) recognized as a 2nd person sentient life with whom relationship is possible, and then self-liberated as the One through the realizer’s radical awakening to the 1st person Awakened Awareness that is arising as the kosmos.
Self-realization, absorption in Trans(Etheric) human Beingness, Nondual Consciousness, mastery, completion of human karma, experiential revelation of planetary Destiny, siddhas (perfected beings), Body of Light (Dzogchen). Exhaustion of mental karma, culminating the process of complete transcendence of personality/ego identification. If this level is fully integrated with the physical body, it results in the ‘Body of Light’ or ‘Great Transfer’, the transformation of the material elements into their inner essences.
(Initiations: from first step to Body of Light)
The light of their own soul has touched their mind enough for them to start to recognize the kosmos as intrinsically sacred and alive. They set their feet upon the way of conscious growth and development for the first time in a committed way, and generally that commitment expresses itself in a focus on physical disciplines and practices. Examples might be physical yoga, conscious dance, bodywork, or a focus on working with entheogens, such as ayahuasca, DMT, LSD, psilocybin mushrooms, or others.
The keynote of the second initiation is emotional purification. Now the individual has committed themselves to walking the path, they go through a process of purifying, healing and integrating their emotional impulses, desires and wounds. The soul pours the energy of pure love into the heart center of the individual and they come to see clearly all of those ways in which they contract personally and are unable to maintain the conduct of love, in relation to themselves, others and the world. Passing through the second initiation involves a profound transition from a life lived under the impulse of personal desire to one that flows from the heart and love. The initiate more and more learns to live from love. They find their group of fellow souls who are their family at the level of soul, and they start to unfold their unique path of service to the world.
Determination makes all the difference, because our rigpa [radical awakening] does fluctuate, experientially, until we reach the first bodhisattva level. From that point onward there is no falling back or straying into confusion. The path is now a steady, smooth journey. Before that, we forget, then we remember, we forget, then we
remember— flickering back and forth. Don’t expect that because yesterday we were introduced to rigpa, we recognized it as a glimpse, now we are set. A glimpse of experience isn’t going to transform everything or carry us all the way to enlightenment. It doesn’t happen like that. Only at the first bodhisattva level do you have true confidence, a confidence that does not waver any longer.141
That path extends into numberless planes of kosmic unfoldment and service in which communities of awakening throughout the universe are also engaging with this incredible adventure. This is the path of infinite kosmic reanimation and reclamation of the essential Unified Source, and the perpetual discovery and creation of novelty. When frameworks do not include this multidimensional evolutionary perspective on the kosmos, we tend to end up with those presently pervasive narcissistic narratives which present the human beings deemed to be the most structurally intelligent and spiritually interested as the ‘leading edge’ of kosmic evolution. It is true that the path is not pre-given, but forged and sculpted through evolutionary unfoldment so as to become kosmic habits—freeways of developmental journeying amid sprawls of side roads that most often lead to dead ends.
Radical awakening reveals all that arises in time and space as transparent expressions of Source. Upon this realization and its stabilization, relative reality, arising as all time and space, does not disappear. Time and space continue to arise but are now seen clearly for what they are: the Great Perfection.
(Kosmic beings: planets, stars, and galaxies as conscious lives)
Of course any human being with the basic capacity for self-reflexive consciousness can radically awaken without tracing Source’s line of emanation all the way back through the kosmos because Absolute Spirit is not just the top rung of the ladder, as it were, but the very wood of which the ladder is built.
Now, when we begin to consider the ontological existence of kosmic beings (e.g. kosmically superconscious entities manifesting through universes, galaxies, constellations, stars, planets and kingdoms) from an integral perspective, we begin to get into some interesting areas. For many, things like kingdoms of nature, planets, solar systems, constellations, galaxies and universes would normally be thought of as collective structures that are composed of many parts that may or may not contain sentient, self-conscious beings. For such people, it might be hard to conceive of such structures as being literally alive, conscious entities.
Wilber makes a compelling point here, and yet the Trans-Himalayan teachings beg to differ. Indeed, the masters who have communicated the teachings speak very clearly about each kingdom, planet, solar system and beyond definitely being the body of manifestation of a vastlyevolved, post-human, intelligent, conscious being.
Dharmakaya [Awakened Awareness] is all-pervasive and totally infinite, beyond any confines or limitations. This is so for the dharmakaya of all buddhas. There is no individual dharmakaya for each Buddha, as there is no individual space for each country. You cannot say there is more than one space, can you? It is all-pervasive and wide open. It’s the same with the dharmakaya level of all buddhas. That is the dharmakaya space within which the sambhogakaya manifests.
In a recent paper titled “Black Holes: Attractors for Intelligence”,184 Clement Vidal, from the Evolution, Complexity and Cognition group at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel, even went so far as to suggest that a stage beyond this would involve such a civilization’s capacity to manipulate the physical reality of space-time itself.
Rainbow Body as a Technology of Consciousness In the Dzogchen lineages of both the Buddhist and Bon traditions of Tibet, there are descriptions of advanced practitioners who, upon bodily death, transform the physical elements of the body literally into light. This phenomena, known in Tibetan as jalus, is often referred to in English as the cultivation of rainbow body due to the sudden appearance of rainbows in the vicinity of the master’s body at the moment of and immediately following death. Upon attainment of the rainbow body, it is said that
these beings are no longer restricted by time and space, and can appear and disappear on the physical plane at will. Here is the Dzogchen Master, Chogyal Namkai Norbu: When a person has that realization of Rainbow Body then their physical body slowly
Awareness is a kosmic constant. That is, radical awakening is available to all civilizations, on all planes, and on all planets, to the degree to which Awakened Awareness is operating through forms sophisticated enough for it to Self-Recognize.
Continuing the train of thought further, we speculate that those advanced kosmic cultures with the capacity for rainbow body may have the ability to appear and disappear at will throughout multiple planes. For these cultures, such a capacity would be a standard form of consciousness-technology.
(Rainbow body, kosmic cultures, and the Life principle)
The Life principle originates from the eternal and infinite realms and yet it expresses in the worlds of becoming as the evolutionary impulse. Initiates are the carriers on Earth of that Life, and Earth itself is a seed of that Life in its galactic environment.
As this unfolds, the physical body is transfigured into a temple of Eden, and the fusion of radical wakefulness, monadic Life and physical embodiment is grounded so fully that the cells of the body begin to literally shine with light, as has been demonstrated by some of the greatest Masters and teachers of the past. This allows the monadic Life-essence at the core of every cell and atom of the physical body, the product of Absolute Reality and its Life-force expression’s apparent self-contraction into the form of a personal bodymind, to become activated so as to saturate every muscle, nerve fibre, bone, and organ of the body in unbroken bliss. And it allows the black hole capacities of the monadic bodymind to bend and warp space and time in conformity to divine Purpose, to become the property of a Master on the physical plane. Then, the powerhouse of their very physical presence becomes an innately purifying, healing, empowering, and stimulating force within their environment, in an incredibly potent way.
The planetary crisis we currently face is deep. There are many variables involved. The spiritual pathways of the Earth no doubt shoulder a profound responsibility to support humanity at large to move beyond tribal conflict and discover our birthright of awakened sovereignty and planetary friendship. The stakes are high, and the consequent opportunities are great. Should we together navigate the present crises we face so as to heal and integrate our world, as the TransHimalayan prophecy suggests, we will have the opportunity to enter an age where humanity will no longer need any intermediary between itself, recognized Ultimate Reality, and the revelation of kosmic Purpose through all of life.
