JUST PRESENTED WERE THE TWO LIFE PATHS AND NOW WE WILL GIVE THE VARIOUS STAGES OF THE PATH. ON THE PATH, WE FIRST BECOME A STUDENT, AN ASPIRANT, SEEKING THE WAY. WE CLEAR OUR CONSCIOUSNESS TO SEE OUR WAY. WE STUMBLE AND WALK OUR PATH AS IT APPEARS TO TWIST AND TURN. AS WE LEARN DISCRIMINATION AND DISCIPLINE, OUR PATH BECOMES STRAIGHTER, UNTIL WE SEE THE RAY OF LIGHT THAT LEADS US. WE SEE THE UNCONDITIONAL WISDOM,TRUTH AND LOVE OF OUR WAY. WE LEAVE THE ANIMAL IN US TO FIND THE HUMAN.

UPON FINDING THE HUMAN, WE RECOGNIZE OUR GOD-SELF AND SEEK UNION WITH IT. ONE PERCEIVES THE SPACES IN THE PATH AND TAKES THE STEPS AND THERE ARE MANY, TOWARDS THE HIGHER DIMENSIONS AND PLANES OF CONSCIOUSNESS. HINDERED BY THE PAST AND IN UNCERTAINTY ABOUT OUR FUTURE, THE ASPIRANT LEARNS TO CENTER THE ENERGIES IN THE PRESENT, THE ETERNAL HERE AND NOW.

ONE PERCEIVES A CLEARING, WIDE AND SWIFT WAY; WHILE OTHERS PERCEIVE DUSTY, NARROW AND SLOW WINDING WAYS. ONE SEES MANY TEMPTATIONS, DANGEROUS CROSSINGS, DISTORTIONS AND UNBELIEVABLE DELAYS. FAITH HAS BEEN TESTED OVER AND OVER AGAIN AND THE ASPIRANT HAS QUICKENED INTO HOPE AND HOPE SHOWS THE WAY TO FAITH. THE ASPIRANT REALIZES THE DIFFERENCES OF THE SELF AND THE OTHER HUMAN BEINGS, FOR THE ASPIRANT IS SEEKING THE SECURITY OF THE ETERNAL THINGS AND THEIR LIFE, WHILE SEEING OTHERS TRIPPING IN TRANSITORY THINGS AND AN UNSETTLED LIFE. THE ASPIRANT FINDS THE SELF WITHIN AND REALIZES THE GAMES OF THE PERSONALITY, THE OUTER EGO.

THE ASPIRANT BEGINS TO PIERCE THE VEIL OF ILLUSION AND DELUSIONPERCEIVING THE ULTIMATE FRONTIERS OF THE GREATER REALITY OF LIFE. ONTHE PATH, THE INDIVIDUAL LEARNS DISCIPLINE AND BECOMES A DISCIPLE PERFORMING ALL ACTS IN THE AWARENESS OF THE GOD-SELF WITHIN, TO BRING FORTH THE CHRIST CONSCIOUSNESS, THE CHILD OF GOD WITHIN WITH RELIGIOUS OVERTONES, TO FREE AWARENESS FROM THE OBJECTS OF THE SENSES AND OUTER STIMULI. TO KNOW GOD WALKS THE PATH WITH YOU.
