Day-Life, Night-Life, New Life


A recent series of posts discussed why it is necessary for the candidate on the Path to ensure that his or her day-life is lived in a soul-directed manner. When the focus of our day-time activities are rooted in selfless service, non-conflict, non-judgment, non-criticism and genuine love for mankind the overall quality of the astral body is charged to a high vibratory level. Because like attracts like, upon falling asleep this level of vibration will enable the sincere candidate to enter the New Field of Life during the hours of sleep. Here, the astral body is bathed in the beneficent radiations of the gnostic Light. Recharged in this way, the candidate returns to waking life astrally strengthened, ready to serve humanity and execute the will of the Logos.

It is of extreme importance to live life in this manner, constantly aimed at the Gnosis. The day-life should lead one seamlessly into a sleep-life steeped in the New Field of Life, then back again to a waking life reinforced and rejuvenated in the Gnosis.

No one knows when his or her present journey here in physical manifestation will end. When our time arrives and we transition from the material-sphere, it is our vibration that will determine where we will go next. If we are earth-focused, we will head off to the natural reflection-sphere where dissolution of the personality and a return trip on the Wheel of Death and Rebirth await. Conversely, if we transition after awakening our Divine-Spark, having endeavored each day to build the New Soul Body, we will not head off to the ordinary reflection-sphere but will instead journey to a Realm of Light, prepared for those who find the Path and sincerely choose to walk that Path while in the physical. There will be no dissolution of the personality, no forced return to the material-sphere, only a continuation of the glorious process of Transfiguration that was begun while on earth.

In reality, our life on earth is a sort of dress rehearsal. Everything we do here, every thought, every act, every emotion will combine to determine our state-of-being at the moment of transition. It is critical that we begin walking the Path in earnest while in the physical, as Transfiguration requires that the candidate begin the process in possession of all of his or her vehicles: physical, etheric, astral and mental.

THIS is why your incarnation is so important. THIS is why life is so "precious". It is because you have only a few short earth-years to locate Truth, recognize it and, in faith and longing, use that Truth to awaken That Which Sleeps Within.

You have been afforded insight. You may even possibly possess a true yearning for salvation. What must now follow is self-surrender and a conscious, voluntary new attitude of life. These are four of the five steps of the fivefold gnostic Path.

The fifth and final step, is Liberation.  The key is to begin the process right here, right now. Make the fundamental reversal in your way of living. Go, "sell all that you have", and follow the Path that leads to True Life.

"In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to Me, that where I am you may be also. You know where I am going and you know the Way"  John 14:2

"This is the guide that leads to Freedom: you must give up the body before it dies and overcome the life of conflict; then, if you have won that victory, you will return to the Highest" Corpus Hermeticum

May you be led to The Good End.
