Actually, even though this book gives a detailed description of the inner process of biochemical transformation, this book is NOT advocating that such activation be the primary focus of one’s spiritual practices. Rather this book advocates inner purification and the love of God and neighbour as the focus. If that is done, then when the disciple is ready the inner activation will occur spontaneously and safely. There are some who advocate bypassing those commandments and speeding the process by the intake of psychoactive substances. The temptation often is for instant, psychic powers or information that can be used to create technologies that will make one wealthy, powerful and famous. If one’s motives are impure then when taking those substances contact will be made with deceptive, psychic beings during the psychoactive, psychedelic experience who are equally impure. Like attracts like in the psychic realm.
Chapter 1 Seek Ye First “But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.” Matthew 6:33 (KJV)
My “Seeking” lead to the gradual but complete abandonment of all negative influences including; unhealthy relationships, over use of social media, drinking alcohol and other body-abusing, time-devouring distractions.
The culmination of these focuses made me start to notice “synchronicities” happening all around me, my dreams became clearer and more poignant and an intense healing took place in me; mind, body and spirit.
“I am here, I am always here, but there are periods when you forget to think of me. You take no time to seek guidance and neglect to put your trust in me; therefore, you find my glory “unmanifested”. My “face”, my light, my presence becomes hidden behind a veil of your desires. That is why you must “seek” continuously.” I realised through further meditation and Bible study that seasonal devotion and occasional doubt were creating the illusion of separation from God. “Carnal desires”, meaning - animalistic urges such as greed, ego, lethargy and lust were distracting me from finding true contentment and purpose, thus creating “enmity against God” (Romans 8:7 KJV). I felt like God wasn’t there or didn’t care, because my “seeking” wasn’t consistent.
I understood that if I did not “seek vision” then I was inadvertently allowing “reality” to create my life for me, and that living without vision; imagination or creative power I was passively susceptible to being “tossed to and fro” (Ephesians 4:14) and blown where ever the currents of life took me.
That night when I was trying to sleep the most incredible thing happened, I felt waves of heat rushing up my spine and my head felt like it had been enlarged a hundred times or more. I instantly sat up in elation, wondering what was happening, but not wanting it to end. A series of images flooded through my brain with such clarity that they looked and felt totally real. I saw blue oil flowing upward – defying gravity, a tiny seed of perfect life emanating the purest light, my tongue set ablaze by a roaring fire, a website entitled “Seek Vision” with the four creatures of Ezekiel stood behind the title and a black and white explainer video explaining the true anointing of Christ.
The following days were a blur of excitement, I felt a childlike awe for EVERYTHING I saw and touched. The world was literally brighter; the colours were more vivid, and the atmosphere had an added dimension to it; I knew that I’d had “a moment”, a “visitation” or “something” and although it was immensely powerful,
Chapter 2 The Sacred Secretion
The name “Sacred Secretion” refers to the “substance” that anoints the body. As the quote states, the “Sacred Secretion” is not merely a “single, simple substance.” Therefore, this analysis will endeavour to explain all aspects of it; not only the physical attributes of this “substance”, but also the all-important metaphysical or Spiritual attributes of this “substance”.
