Scriptures | Ibn 'Arabi: The Meccan Revelations, "Voluntary Death"

7/13/2024
By comprehending and eliminating our defects, we produce the awakening of the consciousness within dreams. This is the sacred return of the soul to divinity within this very life, without needing to physically die. We can competently navigate the higher worlds, the internal dimensions, and receive direct guidance from the Being through profound meditation and spiritual practice: (see Dream Yoga and Astral Travel). On every Saturday the 13th, we can perform the Spiritual Practice with Melchizedek, supplicating to the genie of the Earth to guide us in the path of mystical death. Such a process radically awakens the disciple during the normal hours of sleep, so that the soul can personally converse and commune with divinity with joy, inspiration, and spiritual healing.

To Thine Own Self Be True 04 Experience Your True Self

6/29/2024
The basis of understanding reality is direct perception. While contemporary science accepts sensory and conceptual means of apprehending truth, the ancient mystical traditions taught that the awakened consciousness possesses superior faculties beyond the limitations of individual subjectivity and personal bias. Rather than imprison oneself within a sensual or believing mind, it is possible to awaken a third type: the inner that knows how to perceive and comprehend states of being beyond subjective materiality. By developing the inner mind, we come to experience and witness our true nature.

To Thine Own Self Be True 03 Awaken Your True Self

6/15/2024
Our current psychological state is not unitary, but aggregated within varying levels of density. Another analogy is a spectrum or gradient marked by two extremes. The lowest qualities of being are attributed to affliction, confusion, pain, ignorance, and a whole constellation of destructive behaviors, characterized by complexity, problems, and all their concomitant sufferings. As hinted by the great mystical traditions of antiquity, superior states of being relate to spiritual awakening, serenity, and religious experiences of divine reality. Discover how to identify, discriminate, and understand various forms of perception through four states of consciousness: sleep, dreams, wakefulness, and spiritual illumination, so as to master one's complete potential.

To Thine Own Self Be True 01 Know Your True Self

4/20/2024
It is possible to know the breadth, depth, and complexities of humanity by exploring our own psychology, since each individual is a reflection or microcosm of the external world. Conventional wisdom also encourages conformity to society while acknowledging its possible costs: the end of originality, the loss of beauty, the corruption of innocence, and the weakening of virtue. By identifying three constituents of psychological experience (consciousness, defects, and personality) in relation to specific events, it becomes possible to awaken our true nature, modify our personal experiences, improve our relationships, master our full potential, and produce positive results within all domains of our life.
