How to Influence Others, Create Change, and Transform the Greater Whole

At some point in our spiritual evolution, we reach a point where we encounter the idea of how to bring about meaningful change at a greater level, or within our own life and current situation in a way that will be beneficial for everyone involved. When we move out of always thinking about ourselves in terms of taking everything personal, making everything about us and what we need and want, and we begin taking on a more universal and non-personal attitude, we encounter new challenges that require us to begin asking different types of questions. When we detach from our personal existence in always being self-serving, where everything is about fulfilling a perceived need or personal desire of some kind, which usually requires us to try and control others or manipulate situations to play out in our favor or the way we think they should . . . we move into a higher and more expanded version of ourselves. We move from selfish to selfless, and our attitude becomes about serving others and working in any situation to bring about the greatest good for everyone involved. This requires an entirely different attitude and set of skills that act to naturally facilitate a whole new stage of growth which comes as a form of soul searching and learning how to embody a higher way of being.

We begin wondering how to impose a direct influence on others and our environment in a way that’s non-intrusive, harmonious, and beneficial in terms of enhancing awareness and helping them form new realizations that will promote their own spiritual growth and development in the best way possible. It’s when we no longer feel the need to try and control others that we have the greatest ability to influence them. We’re always faced with a basic form of dichotomy when it comes to understanding our own essential nature and the nature of the world around us, because we’re so caught up in the illusion of our own self-made image and façade that we mistake it for being real. We fail to recognize that in the most basic sense we’re energetic (spiritual) beings and function according to the same universal laws that govern all life throughout the cosmos. We’re always emanating (sending out and conceiving) the vibration of our consciousness as our whole, core being. Yet in the ordinary sense of awareness and how we perceive ourselves in relationship with the world around us, we’re always working out of fragmented aspects of our being, rather than our whole being. When we take on a more universal sense of ourselves, where we let go of our personal ego and step into a higher way of being, we’re no longer working with one aspect or the other, but begin operating as a single mind, single nature, and single way of being. Even though this nearly always comes as a gradual process of growth and development, we find ourselves in new and unfamiliar territory, which takes a while to get used to and is usually something we have to learn how to navigate on our own.

I spent years investigating methods and techniques for how to “impose an influence” on the greater field around us, as a means of subliminally influencing others. I was involved in community and global meditations designed to use the group mind to influence the greater whole at an unconscious level, some of which exercised various methods to try and measure the results, which of course is always a hit or miss proposition, and you never know for sure if the results you’re getting are due to your own desire, wishful thinking, or beliefs. I had the added advantage of being very experienced in various forms of hypnosis, mesmerism, and trance induction, which of course works by using one aspect of the mind (conscious) to subdue and lead the other aspect (subconscious) through rapport, suggestion and reverie. And while this works very well in a one-on-one situation, or even in small groups, you’re always confronted with the moral implications of imposing your will on another person, and the karmic consequences that result from it. At the universal level, which means the greater whole rather than the individual, the number one rule (law) that even the highest powers don’t violate, is you can’t ever impose your will on another person. You can’t ever make their decisions for them or make them do what you decide they should do. Everyone is bestowed with the higher capacity of reason, freewill, and the ability to create by making their own decisions in how they live their life, and are ultimately responsible for their own creations.  

All change, in the most basic sense, comes through experiences that cause you to form new awareness that brings a series of realizations about yourself in relation with the world around you. These realizations form the basis for making clear decisions that are passionate and self-affirming in nature. When we realize things about ourselves based on how we feel in certain situations or when we’re around certain people, and how we become in relationship with them, we’re faced with a very basic form of decision regarding our morality and who we are as a person. We either like how we feel, or we don’t like how we feel. We either expand, becoming larger and more powerful, or we shrink back, becoming smaller and weaker. All change has its roots deep within us and becomes known through feelings we have when we come into touch with who we really are. We’ve been trained psychologically to systematically produce our own pain and suffering by how we think and feel, always struggling with our own weaknesses and shortcomings. We’re always caught up in a relentless form of inner turmoil and moral conflict . . . with ourselves. Where poison feels good and leaves us craving more, limitation and restriction creates a false sense of safety and security, and numbing ourselves becomes an easy solution that’s readily available in a variety of forms. We accept limitation with the belief we have no other choice, and fear becomes the walls of our prison cell that leads to moral decay.

We give up and give in out of fear in even trying, and cling blindly to a meaningless existence, overwhelmed with a sense of hopelessness and no vision of a future where we feel alive and powerful in our own life. Fear acts as a cancer that kills us from the inside out, eating away at our soul bit by bit, diminishing us to the point where we no longer have the strength or courage to seize and annihilate it. We’ve become invested in residing in a lowly existence where we struggle to make it through the day and try to subdue our anxiety with toxic food, drugs, and alcohol. We pass valuable time with idiotic, meaningless entertainment that doesn’t matter in the most basic sense, and only glorifies shallow, self-absorbed people starving for attention. We’re beaten down and held in captivity by our own unruly thoughts, riddled with self-doubt, without ever realizing we have the key to set ourselves free from our own gilded cage.

The only real spiritual quest in life is the journey of becoming a powerful, sovereign being in our own life, who works always for the good and well-being of society as a whole. A patron of our community. A peacemaker, leader, and benefactor. There seems to be a constant struggle to find balance and maintain it through the turbulent sea of life’s ups and downs, happy moments, ordinary sequential moments, and horrific moments of tragedy that leaves us consumed with a feeling of devastation and hopelessness. Happy moments flow naturally with a sense of pleasure and enjoyment, ordinary moments allow us to relax and settle into a feeling of mundaneness that eventually causes us to want more, tragedy turns our world upside down, sending us into a tail-spin that we have to fight vigorously to pull out of, and together . . . we move through cycles of time that seem to set the stage for us to grow in unexpected ways by how we define ourselves in relation with it all.

Through an earnest desire to know and dedication to constantly experimenting using the ethical laws that govern the eternal soul, I came to realize the secret to truly influencing the field of the greater whole, and of humanity in general. Naturally, it starts with your immediate environment and the people who are a part of your everyday life, and by influencing them in a particular way, they in turn influence everyone they engage with in their circle of friends in a similar way, and it continues to grow and multiply as a result. The individual and the whole that they’re apart of are always vibrating in harmony with each other at the underlying level of their subconscious mind. You work with or through the unified field of greater consciousness, not through purely mental means, but by “being” what you want to cause and bring out in others. What connects all of us at the underlying level of pure consciousness is our character. We all share the same character traits that are developed to different degrees and levels, based on different behavioral dynamics (patterns). Our character exists as a formula of archetypal qualities (12 archetypes of the Zodiac) that form our thoughts, inner feelings, emotions, and all the behaviors and activities we naturally engage in. You have to “be” what you want to elicit in others. Not just in thought as a visualization or intention infused with an emotion, but in terms of your entire being and how you are in the normal sense of your everyday life.

Your entire being and what you demonstrate naturally through your attitude and behavior is what forms your mental frequency, which emanates through the greater field of the collective unconscious, imposing a correlating influence on it. The greater field of energy that surrounds us is subliminal in nature. It’s what forms the subconscious mind which is the collective consciousness and aspect of the mind we all share in common. If you try to directly influence somebody with a mental projection formed through concentrating on an idea intensified by an emotion that you direct towards them, they can sense it subliminally, realize you’re trying to control them, and will usually resist it, counteract it, or retaliate in some manner. This is the basis for what is traditionally called a spell or curse, which acts by directly imposing your will on another person. If the person or group of people don’t realize what’s happening, and think it’s their own thoughts and will or a feeling that simply overcomes them, and act on it without realizing what they’re doing, you become karmically (magnetically) tied to that person, and the intention that motivates the act you sent out, returns to you, albeit in a way that you’re not directly aware of. Energy is electromagnetic in nature, and all projections, no matter how they’re formed, always reach an outer point where they curve back on themselves and return to the center from which they came. All energy is polarized and cyclical in nature, and what you put out always returns. When we attempt to control others, we end up being controlled by others. They’re different ends of the same act. What we give, we also get.

If you’re pretending, putting on airs, or struggling yourself, that’s how you’re influencing everyone and everything around you. We’re only capable of bringing out in others what we ourselves are at the core of our being. You can’t fool energy, and it’s not prone to illusions. Pretending to be something you’re not is an illusion that becomes a delusion and keeps you locked into the situation (reality) and relationships that result from and act to foster the illusion. We’re always sending out the vibration of the feeling and emotion we’re trying to cover up with the mask and false façade we’re wearing in the outer sense. While we think our projection is the image of ourselves we’ve created as how we’d like to be seen by others, we’re actually projecting what’s motivating our need to hide and create a false image of ourselves. Our judgments of ourselves become how we judge others, and how we see the world in general, and is what forms our energetic frequency. They’re all connected by the same idea as a feeling, and act to reflect each other.

When we try to act confident in a situation where we actually feel insecure and unsure of ourselves, where we’re on the verge of freaking out, we reek of insecurity and self-doubt. Everyone around us senses it because we’re stimulating the same feeling in them. Our outer image (how we’re acting) doesn’t match the feeling we give others just by being around them. We think it’s about the outer image and persona we take on, when it’s really about how we make people feel when they’re around us and how we interact with them. It’s not about saying “don’t do this”, while picturing and thinking about what you don’t want them to do. It’s about saying do this, be this way by demonstrating it through your natural way of being, which will activate within them the same feelings, qualities, and way of being. Don’t focus on what you don’t want others to do, coupled with a subliminal command of “no” or “don’t do this”, and instead become “what to do and be” instead. Being is the precursor to doing. BE what you want to bring out in others as a way of being and type of person. Be an example and demonstrate it through natural behavior and in every area of your life. However you are in the most natural and honest sense of your inner nature, you act to naturally stimulate, bring alive, and call forth in others and everything around you.

In this way you’re not violating choice and free will of others or trying to control and manipulate them to be what you think they should be, you’re simply stimulating the character traits in them that will act to naturally produce a certain type of feeling and behavior as a way of being. They’ll express the same character traits in their own way that will bring them new types of experience, out of which a correlating mindset will begin taking shape. As we form new experiences of ourselves as being a certain way, equally new realizations transpire through the experience that form the basis for making new decisions. As we make new decisions for ourselves that require change, we have to exercise our will in bringing about those changes, and we grow as a result. The only way we truly have of imposing a direct influence into the field of mass consciousness, altering it in a correlating manner, is through the vibratory frequency of our innermost nature and way of being. Fragmentation doesn’t work, and neither does visualizing with the intention of trying to control and manipulate. It’s based on your whole being and true inner nature.

This same idea works on all scales and levels of consciousness equally. If we move this idea out to greater and greater levels, where we want to be able to impose an influence at the community, societal, or even global level, we have to first bring about the changes we desire in the world within ourselves and our daily life. We have to cultivate the necessary character traits within ourselves, intensify them with a feeling of passion and purpose, and then bring them into practice in every aspect of our daily life as our “natural way of being in the world”. We can’t pray for peace, or join meditation groups aimed at global change, where we embody and visualize the idea of peace for a short period of time or intermittently, we have to become a peacemaker in every aspect of our daily life, and cultivate it as a constant experience. Peace has to be the natural result of our character and innermost being. As we create peace in every aspect of our daily life, we resonate the traits, practices, and way of being that directly influence and set an example for everyone around us, increasing and multiplying it. As we become the cause that multiplies and amplifies a peaceful way of being, we act at the individual level to alter and adjust the conscious frequency of greater, and greater wholes. We change the world by first changing ourselves. We have to be the change we want to produce in others and the world around us.

"Contemplating the Hidden Wisdom Encoded Within Spiritual Sciences"

New Book Release!

Selected writings on Esoteric/Occult Sciences, Quantum Physics, and Transpersonal Psychology

"Contemplating the Hidden Wisdom Encoded Within Spiritual Sciences" is an illustrated guide designed to cultivate a practical understanding of the Universal Laws and Archetypal Principles that form the very basis of what we perceive as reality. All spiritual knowledge, in the most basic sense, is knowledge of the Universal Principles that shape and govern all life throughout the cosmos. Our mind operates according to these same fundamental laws, and by forming a practical understanding of how they operate in the basic sense, we can also develop a sound method for using them in a fully conscious and deliberate manner to not only shape how we experience the outer world of our own making, but also as the means for shaping ourselves in a much more positive and dynamic way through our experiences.

When we realize that reality is formed through our perception of it, and that a basic set of laws are what shape and maintain the material world of light, this tells us that our own mind works by way of these same laws in shaping and maintaining our outer world in a congruent and logical manner. While we tend to think that the outer world is separate from us and somewhat objective in nature, where we imagine things appear the same way to everyone, by simply observing things from a neutral and detached mindset, we can realize this isn't true. Every person sees the same outer world of Nature and creation in a way that's unique to them, because it's formed as an outer reflection of our mind and soul, which is shaped by the vibratory frequency of our mental paradigm. Our paradigm is shaped out of the memory we've accumulated and integrated through all our life experiences up to this point in time, which acts on the outer field of astral light to order and organize it into a corresponding mirror image, through the law of vibration as resonance. A fundamental understanding of these basic laws are the prerequisite for building the foundation necessary for mastering the art of self-creation and undergoing the self-facilitated process of transformation to a higher level of existence.

This is an educational book designed with rich illustrations formed out of sacred geometry, the Kabbalah Tree of Life, quantum physics, archetypes of the Tarot, gematria, and esoteric symbols used in various branches of Spiritual Sciences, as a means of not only providing you with a working concept of the laws they represent in order to breed a greater understanding, but to also help develop skill in being able to accurately interpret symbolic language and imagery.

I consider quantum physics and transpersonal psychology to be a modern day version and natural offspring of Hermetic (esoteric) Sciences, and correlate the models used in both systems to describe the same principles inherent in the symbolic imagery of ancient wisdom. I place a heavy emphasis on using a variety of models and terminology to describe the same basic laws in order to cultivate a broader understanding of how they play out in every aspect of our daily lives, and how to recognize them as they play out in ordinary situations.

By forming a practical understanding of universal principles in terms of how they function in the most basic sense, we're provided with a form of masterful instruction and user's manual for how to operate our own mind to create in a willful manner. The focus of this book is to provide you with a deeper level of understanding in terms of how your own mind operates in forming an outer world of your own making, which will lay the foundation necessary for understanding all other aspects of life and reality.

Knowledge, in the most basic sense, is a living intelligence that flows in energetic currents throughout the cosmos, and in order to acquire certain levels of knowledge, we have to tune ourselves to the mental frequency of that current by becoming like it in nature. Knowledge in the most basic sense comes as knowledge of ourselves, because we only acquire it through a direct and intimate experience. Once we apprehend it through experience, it's translated into memory as wisdom, and becomes a permanent part of us.

I use basic language throughout this book, and describe or explain most things from within the experience of it, rather than in purely theoretical terms, to help you relate to the ideas better, and to give you an intuitive sense of how to acquire wisdom through your own private experiences. Knowledge simply provides you with the theoretical means for applying ideas in your daily life to create an experience of them, and through the experience created, it's integrated into memory, upgrading and evolving your mental paradigm. The actual knowledge isn't of the idea itself, but is formed within you through the realizations that proliferate from the experience as a form of self-awareness and realization.

The Art of Introspection: Self-Knowledge, Awareness, and Tools for Transformation

The cornerstone of all spiritual growth and psychological healing comes through the motto "know thyself" as attaining deeper forms of self-awareness that brings realization and insights into your true nature and why your life is the way it is. The whole basis of healing in the psychological sense comes naturally when we bring what's working to create in our lives at an unconscious level into the light of awareness and we own it instead of denying or attempting to somehow justify or glorify it. To be empowered in your own life only comes through gaining knowledge of yourself in terms of both your conscious and unconscious tendencies and the success or failing that result from them. The only thing we truly have the power to change in our life is ourselves. All transformation comes only by way of self-awareness that brings deeper realizations around how it is that we have created ourselves and our life to be the way it is.

Many of us spend our whole life focused primarily on other people and what it is we imagine they're doing to us, instead of forming awareness around ourselves, our own characteristics, and what part it is we play in co-creating our own life experiences. Like all ideas this one exists as a form of paradox born and maintained out of a sense of separation and detachment from our own power to create in our life. We can spend the better part of our life trying to figure out how to change others or by forming the perception that others are the ones responsible for why we're the way we are and why our life has formed the way it has without realizing that both our self and our life are virtually the same thing, and in order to change one we have to work by way of the other.

This idea is compounded further by the idea of what it means to be selfish as opposed to selfless, and that our faults and weaknesses are something that's usually pointed out by others, or is only known through the opinion of others. In our modern day society we've made the idea of self-perfection out to be a dirty word because we base it on a form of judgment that's imposed on us by others as their perception of us, rather than on our own ability to observe and closely examine our own tendencies in any situation. One of the key practices in life comes through our ability to determine our own faults and destructive tendencies and then take the measures necessary to correct ourselves.

The idea of self-perfection comes by whatever we deem to be the best version of ourselves and then commit to achieving by transforming our weaknesses into strengths. It comes by consciously acting to develop ourselves to be the best we can be. We take responsibility for ourselves instead of blaming our self-destructive tendencies on others. We form an ideal for our own development then undergo the process of self-transformation from a semi-unconscious state of being to a primarily conscious and aware state of being. Perfection comes through consistent growth and by developing ourselves in an intentional way in order to create the type of experiences we want to have. It's only by fully recognizing our own faults that we have the foundation necessary for using our higher powers of choice, will, and realization in order to transform them into our best traits.

All of what we call higher knowledge comes as comprehension of Universal Laws to the extent of being able to apply them at the practical level in order to heal and step into our power as our own creator. All Universal Laws (of mind and spirit) form a direct correspondence and work harmoniously to create within the material world through Natural Laws. When we work by way of law, we create in what seems like an effortless manner as a synchronized flow of correlated events, and when we fail to understand and work by way of law, we counteract ourselves and create a constant feeling of hardship and self-sabotage. The material world only serves as a stage for us to create ourselves by how we enter into relationship with it. It's a form of school where we can practice our ability to create until we can do it in an accurate and consistent way.

Introspection and Objective Self-Observation

The most primary law there is, the one that everything else is based on and rises naturally out of as a growth process, is what's called the "All in One Law", or in Sacred Geometry the Law of the Monad. This law basically demonstrates that all of reality is a unified whole, and that the self and the reality of the self are actually the same thing. One systematically produces the other, and vice versa. What we perceive as a separation between our self and another is actually a very fundamental illusion that deceives us in the most basic sense of the idea. It's who we are in terms of how we're being that determines how we perceive ourselves in relation to and comparison with others. Our outer perception of others and the world and our perception of our self are complementary opposites of each other and provide us with a mirror into the hidden aspects of our soul. Our outer reality only changes as a direct reflection of our inner self. As we change internally, our life changes to the exact same degree.

One of the most valuable and fundamental spiritual practices there are is the practice of self-observation and the objective examination of our own characteristics and the tendencies that result from them. We have to cultivate the ability to look inward in all situations in order to see what our own characteristics and behaviors are, and how it is that they serve to influence and actively create in the situation. We take an attitude of observing any situation in a way that allows us to see and form realizations around our own negative and destructive characteristics.

As we gain realization into our own unconscious behaviors and what they cause, it's important to record them in a diary or notebook, because like all realizations that come through a form of meditation and introspection, they're fleeting and you may not be able to remember them later. Awareness is the key to transformation, and the more defined our awareness is around something, the more immediate and powerful the transformation is. As you write down realizations about yourself in the moment when they're happening, you record them so you can continue to reflect on them later. As you begin writing and defining them with detailed descriptions the deeper you go and the more pronounced your realizations become. As you define your character flaws and weaknesses in order to gain clarity around them, you simultaneously transform them through the realizations they bring.

This diary or personal notebook is your own to use and you should never, under any circumstances show or discuss it with anyone else. This is your own private tool for developing yourself. The only thing that goes in it is your own ideas for yourself. All self-development and healing is something we do to and for ourselves. These observations about your own character provide you with the knowledge you need in order to begin healing your own unproductive tendencies and develop your weaknesses into strengths. The foundation for self-mastery comes through self-control and your intrinsic ability to discipline yourself in order to implement new ways of being and create in new ways as a result.

The art of objective self-observation requires you to be frank and honest with yourself in realizing your poor character traits, moral weaknesses, shortcomings, habits, failings, passions, and compulsive urges. You're not engaging in criticizing yourself because of them, but simply opening your mind to honest self-evaluation and recognizing your part in creating the events of your own life. You have to resist the urge to justify your right to be that way, or to try and glorify your failings and shortcomings somehow by the story you tell yourself about them. You remove your focus completely from what other people are saying or doing that's causing you to be the way you are, and place all of your attention on what's happening inside of you, what characteristics are brought out in you, and how you behave as a result. You refrain from the natural tendency to build an illusion around whatever it is you don't want to see about yourself, and witness your life without attachments of any kind.

Practice

To start this process, relax in a private environment and reflect back on yourself in different situations that didn't go very well or that caused you pain and suffering somehow, and simply contemplate them. Replay what happened while focusing inward on how it made you feel and how you became as a result. How were you influenced by another person's behavior towards you? Ask yourself what your part was in creating it? What role did you play in producing whatever resulted? What did the situation act to bring out in you that caused you to react the way you did? Analyze the experience by replaying how it happened in a step-by-step way while only focusing on you and what part you played in co-creating the outcome. Make detailed notes on all of your own errors, inappropriate behavior, and shortcomings, while continuously resisting the need to explain and justify your right to be that way by making it the other persons fault. Make notes of even the smallest and most insignificant details in order to see yourself clearly.

As you make notes, meditate deeply on them as a means of penetrating deeply into your own soul. Realization is the most primary way we have of transforming things. All healing in the psychological sense comes through self-awareness that brings self-realization as to your own character. Constant self-observation and evaluation is the most important part of self-development. This is the most important step in preparing for initiation, achieving inner balance, and engaging willfully in the process of ascension. As we realize and resolve our own character flaws and destructive tendencies, we make a constant ascent towards a higher level of consciousness, and master our ability to create.

You can review any past event that had a strong impact on you or served as a turning point in your life, as well as how relationships were established and evolved through the course of time. You can also form a daily practice where at the end of every day, you sit quietly and reflect back on the main events of the day, and review how things transpired and turned out, and what your part was in co-creating them. You can examine your own attitude and behavior to see what was productive and went the way you wanted it to, and what didn't. As you examine your own behavior, you can realize where your flaws were and actively choose what you would have liked to have done instead.

As you realize what you could have done differently to produce a more desirable outcome, you can replay the event in your mind while employing different qualities and behaviors. You can change the event in your mind by changing your own part in it. As you correct yourself and replay the same situation in a different way while behaving differently, you act to give yourself a new pattern to use in all future situations of a similar nature. This way, whenever the same type of situation occurs in the future, you have a well thought out idea on how to respond in a much more purposeful manner. Once you get good at this, you can practice it throughout the day when you have time to relax and reflect, and learn how to identify all your flaws and what it is that causes you to do them.

Identifying the Severity of Destructive Tendencies

Another thing you can do is evaluate the extent of the problems these character flaws cause in your life. Some attitudes and behaviors are much more destructive and counterproductive than others, and these need to be identified for what they are and corrected as quickly as possible. One of the ways you can do this is to divide the character flaws into three categories in terms of the type of problems they cause. This will give you an idea of which ones cause the greatest problems and are outright destructive, and which ones are minor and somewhat irritating.

3 Levels of Bad Character Traits:
- High - negative characteristics that influence you the most, happen frequently or are intense and super dramatic, and tend to cause the greatest problems.
- Medium - ones that occur less frequently and have less influence and produce minor problems.
- Low - ones that only occur occasionally and has minimal influence in our life.

This process will help you to become self-aware of your own character flaws and what it is about your behavior that causes you to fail in achieving what you desire to create, and in what ways it is that you act within your own life in a destructive and unconscious manner. You may want to practice it intensely for a couple of weeks, and then periodically as new realizations arise and become apparent.

In the same way you record all of your character flaws and shortcomings, you also want to record all of your positive characteristics and strong points. Reflect on and gain detailed awareness of your good character traits, high morality, and situations where you created just what you wanted to. In this way you can gain detailed information around what it is that you're doing that both works and doesn't work. You can realize your own faults and act on yourself to correct them in whatever way you want. You can acquire knowledge that will provide you with the basis for becoming a conscious creator in your own life and learn how to work by way of law in order to shape yourself in whatever way you choose to.

Soul Mirror

This practice will provide you with a form of mirror into your own soul where you can master self-control and create yourself and your life in whatever way you choose to instead of feeling as if you're a victim to others and to the circumstances of your life. Our outer perception of reality is formed as a correspondence to our inner perception of our self. Our outer life is the result of the story we tell through our inner life. However we choose to intentionally develop our character determines the type of life we live and the story we tell about ourselves in living it. Every story has a main character that's ideal for telling that type of story. If we don't like the type of story we're living, then the most natural way to change it is by developing our own character to be the main star in telling a different kind of story. This journal will help map out your character and provide you with greater insights into your own soul and why your life is the way it is.

This is an educational book designed with rich illustrations formed out of sacred geometry, the Kabbalah Tree of Life, quantum physics, archetypes of the Tarot, gematria, and esoteric symbols used in various branches of Spiritual Sciences, as a means of not only providing you with a working concept of the laws they represent in order to breed a greater understanding, but to also help develop skill in being able to accurately interpret symbolic language and imagery.

I consider quantum physics and transpersonal psychology to be a modern day version and natural offspring of Hermetic (esoteric) Sciences, and correlate the models used in both systems to describe the same principles inherent in the symbolic imagery of ancient wisdom. I place a heavy emphasis on using a variety of models and terminology to describe the same basic laws in order to cultivate a broader understanding of how they play out in every aspect of our daily lives, and how to recognize them as they play out in ordinary situations.

By forming a practical understanding of universal principles in terms of how they function in the most basic sense, we're provided with a form of masterful instruction and user's manual for how to operate our own mind to create in a willful manner. The focus of this book is to provide you with a deeper level of understanding in terms of how your own mind operates in forming an outer world of your own making, which will lay the foundation necessary for understanding all other aspects of life and reality.

Knowledge, in the most basic sense, is a living intelligence that flows in energetic currents throughout the cosmos, and in order to acquire certain levels of knowledge, we have to tune ourselves to the mental frequency of that current by becoming like it in nature. Knowledge in the most basic sense comes as knowledge of ourselves, because we only acquire it through a direct and intimate experience. Once we apprehend it through experience, it's translated into memory as wisdom, and becomes a permanent part of us.

I use basic language throughout this book, and describe or explain most things from within the experience of it, rather than in purely theoretical terms, to help you relate to the ideas better, and to give you an intuitive sense of how to acquire wisdom through your own private experiences. Knowledge simply provides you with the theoretical means for applying ideas in your daily life to create an experience of them, and through the experience created, it's integrated into memory, upgrading and evolving your mental paradigm. The actual knowledge isn't of the idea itself, but is formed within you through the realizations that proliferate from the experience as a form of self-awareness and realization.

Alchemy and the Process of Initiation – Transformation and Growth Through Challenges and Ordeals

 The ancient art known as Alchemy dealt with the idea of soul purification and self-creation through masterful use of the will. It works through Universal Laws that govern all of the material world as a primary form of mind-over-matter, or the minds ability to willfully direct the behaviors of the body (subconscious) and determine what type of energies as states of consciousness we take on, become one with, and bring into expression as a way of creating ourselves by way of them. It works through the same laws that govern the chemistry of the body, where, when two or more substances are combined, they form a chemical reaction as biological processes of transformation. All change and transmutation comes from new combinations of some kind that form new relationships as a unique variable that alters it from its original state.

The alchemical process acts first to purify the substance (soul) to be transformed through various forms of changing the solution by filtering and separation, that identify and remove all impurities acquired through previous combinations and amalgamations, returning it to its virgin state. This process takes repeated steps of breaking down existing conditions and established patterns as active qualities, refining them through a process of distillation, and removing all corrupt aspects as weaknesses, vices, and vulnerabilities. Once returned to its original state, the true aspects of its character can then fully express and be developed into strengths as the means of true self-creation that comes from self-awareness, self-knowledge, and intentional actions and deeds. We can then act on ourselves to develop ourselves in very distinct ways by choosing what qualities we want to intentionally embody, become one with, and bring into expression as a way of apprehending those qualities and developing our character to include them.

The Law of the Tetragrammaton or Tetrad (4), demonstrates this process and method of becoming through the Dyad (Vesica Pisces) as the blending together of two energy fields, joined at the center, where outside energies serve to stimulate and awaken those same energies in us, and together in the overlapping area, form an interference pattern as the reconfiguration of that pattern in both to form a new variation. This new variation of the same quality and idea, births the Triad as its offspring as an inner or imagined idea that provides the subconscious pattern for producing its outer equivalent as a projection or reflection, birthing its correspondence as an outer expression or experience of reality, represented by the Tetrad.

This same principle is demonstrated in the most primary law of all, the Law of Vibration, which states that whenever we vibrate in harmony with something else, we act to magnetically draw it into us through sympathetic induction, blending with it, and both of our complementary, yet variable vibrations influence each other and begin vibrating in-sync, forming coherence as a new vibratory rate that together forms a new pattern. This law forms the very foundation as a guided process for not only realizing how we're being shaped all the time by whatever we associate and interact with energetically, but for how to engage in and use that same process intentionally as a means of developing ourselves.

The same process of returning a solid substance to a fluid state, purifying it by breaking down and dissolving all impurities and corruption, then reforming it through new combinations, occurs naturally in life anytime we're faced with challenges, ordeals, major life crisis, and extreme forms of hardship and loss, where we're forced to reevaluate our life and values, and embrace our identity with a full sense of awareness. It's easy to see that the only time we change or grow in some way, is when we have to in order to overcome or negotiate a new situation that presents a problem or unfamiliar territory. It's only when we're taken out of our comfort zone, our ordinary conditions, circumstances, and situations that we've become accustomed to, and thrown into brand new, unexpected situations that we're forced to respond by acting in a new and deliberate way. Where we go through the process in our mind of not knowing what to do, no previous experience or memory to draw off of or repeat, and we go through a decision process that requires us to willfully act it out, usually going against our own natural and habitual tendencies. Only in these moments are we truly self-creating in a fully aware manner. We're initiating and producing our own reality that brings us into a new feeling and sense of ourselves. We embody qualities that we've never really expressed or developed before, and they transform us as a result. While in these moments, we're back into a position, often for the first time as an adult, of having to make conscious decisions in every instance of what we're going to do, how we're going to be, and what we're going to act intentionally to create.

The process of initiation in the ancient mysteries, prepared the initiate by putting them in extremely challenging situations that were designed to invoke extreme fear and a deep sense of insecurity, which revealed their will to either give-up or give-in, or to persevere and push through difficulties, developing great mental fortitude through the process. The object was to not only become fearless, but to also be able to remain calm, highly focused, clear minded, and confident in extreme situations of all kinds. This came through the ability to not allow the energy challenging you to enter into your sphere of consciousness and alter your state of mind to match and be like it. This is what you might call a form of reverse engineering of the initial process of alteration through combining and coupling represented by the Dyad. In this process you deflect the energy, keeping it outside of you, refrain from reacting to it in any manner while staying centered and grounded internally, and in doing so, you neutralize the energy and act instead to influence and direct it through your mental projections and actions.

All of life evolves out of various combinations as the relationships of complementary opposites that act on each other to transform each other to be more alike. Every person or being that we meet or interact with, is acting naturally just through the nature of the interaction to make us like them, and we act to make them like us. This is what all relationships are, a natural method of transformation through adaptation and modification that (re)forms a new whole as a variation. This process is always going on between us and everything around us all the time at the subconscious, unaware level of the mind. We are constantly absorbing, integrating, assimilating, and becoming like the energy around us as a basic form of evolution that keeps us in the same state and condition as the environment we exist in, function as a part of, and have to survive in. Once we fully understand this law and fact, we have the tools necessary to work by way of that same law to consciously direct and influence the operation.

All energy is a form of consciousness that exists as qualities and feelings that naturally produce certain types of thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. The spiritual-energetic world exists in a parallel dimension to the physical as a hierarchical structure. Whatever exists on a lower plane is fully contained within the higher plane as its foundation. The higher plane, which contains the entire lower plane, is what acts to govern and sustain that plane. The invisible plane of energy, which is consciousness, is what shapes matter as essence into form through imagined thoughts. An idea introduced into the mind as a frequency or feeling, stimulates and initiates a thought process that forms it into an image of some kind as a reality in the minds eye (3rd eye), that's further developed and evolved through a narration as internal dialogue. The entire physical, manifest world is produced and animated by consciousness as thought, intention, and imagination. And it's through this same process, by working with the laws of the higher plane governing the lower plane that we direct and work with the energies of the lower plane.

Once we return to a virgin state through the process of being broke down through constant challenges and crisis, where all illusions that prevented us from seeing ourselves and life as it really is dissolve, revealing only what's real and eternal and unchangeable, we're in the position to not only take over control of our own development, but can develop the necessary capacities of the mind that prevent us from being influenced, altered, and corrupted by others. All energy as states that produce emotional realities can be directed and brought into a submissive state by the will. We can control and regulate all energy within our own mental sphere (immediate surroundings) by exercising our will to direct it. This is not the same thing as imposing our will on others in an attempt to control and influence them to think, feel, and behave in a certain way, but rather to exercise full dominion over ourselves and our own mind and soul. Alchemy doesn't concern itself with the idea or need to somehow change others, but only with the mastery necessary to become fully self-determined and self-controlled. The best way we have of influencing others is by controlling our own state and behaviors in how we interact with them, which influences them to match us.

Once we realize that our mind exists as a spherical field of energy that not only permeates and surrounds our body, encapsulating it, but also extends out into the environment around us quite some distance, and is always mingling with and taking on the energy of everything else, we can begin acting deliberately to regulate our energy field by using our will and imagination to determine what we allow in to become a part of us, and what we keep out or deflect, so it doesn't affect or alter us. If we learn how to tune into the energy in any situation and become aware of how it interacts with us to transform us through resonance, we can learn how to sense it by feeling it while imagining its quality, motives, and behavior, while keeping it outside of us. We can then realize that people who are willfully projecting through some form of intensity, and those who live out of and are always expressing and projecting strong emotions of some sort, can only enter into us and infect us, becoming a part of our mind, if we choose to let them.

Energetic interactions take place naturally at the subconscious level, where, even though we realize how strongly we're affected by them, we don't realize what's actually going on in the objective sense. We don't realize that by becoming aware of what operates at the unconscious level, we can learn how to work with it consciously (with awareness). We can imagine an invisible barrier around us as the outer edge of our mental sphere where ideas and emotions being projected at us by others are allowed to reflect and spread out so we can see them as if looking through a transparent image, where we can read them accurately while preventing them from entering our mind and altering our state accordingly. By practicing this, we can remain calm, centered, and unaffected while in the midst of extremes and intensity of any kind. By remaining neutral in the presence of projected emotions we act to neutralize and diffuse them. But most importantly, we exercise the ability to regulate our own mind and body. This is a key ability of vital importance in terms of intentional self-creation.

In this same manner we can consciously choose energy that we do want to blend with and become one with as a means of intentionally acquiring the same qualities. While we tend to use terms like acquire, apprehend, or get, to describe the energy and consciousness we embody as a means of developing qualities in ourselves, the fact is we don't ever get energy as qualities from something else outside of us, but they act instead, through resonance, to awaken and bring into an active state those same qualities that are already in us. We then develop them through repetitive expression to become a prominent part of our character. Anything that we consistently develop through expression and interaction of some sort becomes a habit as second nature, which means we begin doing it naturally in an automatic fashion without direct awareness, having to think about it, or exerting intentional effort.

This same process of union as combining and coupling with someone or something else as the natural means of transforming and growing, is represented in what's called the chemical marriage of Alchemy, as the relationship between the active and passive forces of the same mind and soul, and the conscious minds ability to direct, guide, and create by way of the subconscious mind as a unified and harmonious act. It's learning how to make an adjustment through an understanding of sympathy and antipathy, attraction and repulsion, magnetizing and projecting. By learning how to use our own personal will to seed and work to create through our subconscious, we create both ourselves and our reality in an intentional and purposeful manner.

Likewise, the burning away of impurities as character flaws, unconscious complexes and tendencies, incorrect evaluations and calculations, or bad habits we developed as unconscious conditioning, we can resolve our bad (self-destructive) karma and create a more positive and beneficial form of karma. Redemption comes by first bringing what's operating in our life unconsciously into conscious awareness where we can not only see what we're doing and why, but we can also begin working with it consciously to resolve it. All manifestations produced by actions can be cancelled out and brought back into a balanced state by equalizing opposites. It's only by realizing and owning our own part in things that we see clearly what we're doing in any situation that acting to co-create it, whether passively or actively, that we can willfully change our own perceptions and behaviors. It's by counteracting an idea that we transform it by reformulating it, bringing what's out of balance (emphasized) and being done unconsciously back into balance through awareness that brings realization. The realization alone is what acts to dissolve and transform the illusion. To redeem ourselves from an attitude and the actions that result from it, is to form and embody the opposite attitude and action, and repeat it consistently until it becomes automatic and something that we do without thinking about it. We can only be transformed and evolved by what becomes a habit as an essential part of our nature (through reprogramming our subconscious).

Those of us who came into this life with many difficulties, challenges, and ordeals to overcome, are naturally walked through a process of initiation as soul purification, often without realizing it. Others intentionally choose a hard life because there's a desire in them to meet and overcome difficulties. Still others refuse to compromise their dignity in a world that teaches conformity at the cost of morality, and in doing so, welcome the consequences of integrity, which can often seem brutal. All growth and development, in the sense of being the souls only true goal and purpose in life, is considered an act of love from a higher, spiritual perspective. It's only when we're challenged and overwhelmed and we reign as victor, that we're exalted. The greater our fall, the more exalted our rising. It's only when we push through tremendous odds, and when faced with devastation and wrought with unimaginable grief, in those darkest moments when we're forced to reach down into our unknown depths of our self to find our true source of light and power that we ascend to the higher rungs by virtue of our own volition.

"Contemplating the Hidden Wisdom Encoded Within Spiritual Sciences"

New Book Release!

Selected writings on Esoteric/Occult Sciences, Quantum Physics, and Transpersonal Psychology

"Contemplating the Hidden Wisdom Encoded Within Spiritual Sciences" is an illustrated guide designed to cultivate a practical understanding of the Universal Laws and Archetypal Principles that form the very basis of what we perceive as reality. All spiritual knowledge, in the most basic sense, is knowledge of the Universal Principles that shape and govern all life throughout the cosmos. Our mind operates according to these same fundamental laws, and by forming a practical understanding of how they operate in the basic sense, we can also develop a sound method for using them in a fully conscious and deliberate manner to not only shape how we experience the outer world of our own making, but also as the means for shaping ourselves in a much more positive and dynamic way through our experiences.

When we realize that reality is formed through our perception of it, and that a basic set of laws are what shape and maintain the material world of light, this tells us that our own mind works by way of these same laws in shaping and maintaining our outer world in a congruent and logical manner. While we tend to think that the outer world is separate from us and somewhat objective in nature, where we imagine things appear the same way to everyone, by simply observing things from a neutral and detached mindset, we can realize this isn't true. Every person sees the same outer world of Nature and creation in a way that's unique to them, because it's formed as an outer reflection of our mind and soul, which is shaped by the vibratory frequency of our mental paradigm. Our paradigm is shaped out of the memory we've accumulated and integrated through all our life experiences up to this point in time, which acts on the outer field of astral light to order and organize it into a corresponding mirror image, through the law of vibration as resonance. A fundamental understanding of these basic laws are the prerequisite for building the foundation necessary for mastering the art of self-creation and undergoing the self-facilitated process of transformation to a higher level of existence.

This is an educational book designed with rich illustrations formed out of sacred geometry, the Kabbalah Tree of Life, quantum physics, archetypes of the Tarot, gematria, and esoteric symbols used in various branches of Spiritual Sciences, as a means of not only providing you with a working concept of the laws they represent in order to breed a greater understanding, but to also help develop skill in being able to accurately interpret symbolic language and imagery.

I consider quantum physics and transpersonal psychology to be a modern day version and natural offspring of Hermetic (esoteric) Sciences, and correlate the models used in both systems to describe the same principles inherent in the symbolic imagery of ancient wisdom. I place a heavy emphasis on using a variety of models and terminology to describe the same basic laws in order to cultivate a broader understanding of how they play out in every aspect of our daily lives, and how to recognize them as they play out in ordinary situations.

By forming a practical understanding of universal principles in terms of how they function in the most basic sense, we're provided with a form of masterful instruction and user's manual for how to operate our own mind to create in a willful manner. The focus of this book is to provide you with a deeper level of understanding in terms of how your own mind operates in forming an outer world of your own making, which will lay the foundation necessary for understanding all other aspects of life and reality.

10 Universal Laws, 7 Hermetic Principles, and 22 Paths of Transformation

All of what we call the major systems of Spiritual Sciences are correlated with each other and form a dynamic series of correspondences that serve as the means for interpreting the principles that they all share in common. All actual or true spiritual knowledge as higher knowledge is based on a practical understanding of laws and principles. All material systems as organized elements that form what we perceive as reality are shaped (organized, ordered, and structured), held together as dynamic patterns, and animated as behavior by universal principles.

The primary difference between natural laws that govern the material world and universal laws are that the universal produce the physical as an offspring or correspondence, and physical laws can be over-ridden and transformed by universal ones, which are causal (creative) in nature. Natural laws explain how systems operate and behave once they come into existence, whereas universal laws are what give rise to the physical systems themselves through an act of true creation. Universal laws are of the mind and soul, while physical laws describe the natural activities that the material forms created by the mind take on as behaviors.  

The fundamental means of creation come by 3 primary forms of expression: numbers, letters, and words. The numbers used in any system are not a means of counting, but represent principles and how they exist in relationship with each other to form a whole. Numbers are interpreted as principles that are correlated with letters and words, and together form a whole system of correspondences as sounds, colors, symbols, geometric shapes, planets, archetypes, and metaphorical ideas, and so on, that are all of the same nature as a quality of consciousness or state of mind. Our mental state is what forms our vibratory frequency as a dynamic metaphorical pattern that then forms our perceptual lens that's used for shaping our material reality to be of the same pattern on a larger and more inclusive level.

The causal plane of the mind exists as a singularity, and in the system of Numerology the Laws that it's comprised of are represented by the single digits of 0 through 9, with 10 being 1 on a higher scale or octave. All multiple digit numbers are reduced to a single digit that reveals the primary principle involved. All combinations of numbers construct a formula that demonstrates the relationships involved between the active principles. Numbers are philosophically interpreted to find their meaning as the principles that are active and expressing to create in any material formation. The principles that are actively demonstrated through the numbers involved provide us with instructions as a formula for working with them in the practical sense. The 10 primary Universal Laws are purely energetic (mental) in nature and serve to give explicit instructions on how to use our mind to create reality. Reality as we know it is a mental construct that's formed out of our consciousness as our perception of it.

The first 3 laws (0-2) are actually 1 law with 3 aspects that perform different functions of the same thing, and are called the "3 in 1 Law", also referred to as the Trinity or Triad. The Triad represents the 3-fold nature of the mind, soul, and self, which also makeup what we perceive as a 3-D reality or hologram. This primary law reveals the nature of the Supernal as being comprised of dual aspects (masculine and feminine), which combine to form a unified reality. This 3 in 1 Law (0, 1, 2) is considered the Parental Law (represented by the Dyad) as what acts to birth the Triad, represented by 3, which is considered the first real number as the mental formation of an idea. It's real in the sense that it's here that an idea is first organized into a light-form in the faculty of the imagination (inner) and serves as the basis for organizing material reality (outer) to be of the same pattern as a thematic idea. The inner and outer are actually a continuation of each other.

Out of the Primal Triad comes its offspring as a mirror image, and births the material world through 7 primary principles. The first true number is 3, forming 7 principles that systematically emerge from the Dyad as 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9. All proceeding principles maintain their polarized state as a relationship between the inner and outer, self and another, and upper and lower as the means of constructing material reality. There's a complementary relationship between 3 and 4, 5 and 6, and 7 and 8, which culminates in 9 as a complete and perfected cycle of creation. 

The 10 primary Universal Laws are represented in the Qabalah as spheres of consciousness that exist in correlated energetic states as a creative process that uses archetypes as unformed (invisible) ideas to produce an equivalent material reality. This entire creative process is also dual in nature as a movement between upper and lower planes that provides us with the process for both formation and transformation. These principles are also represented in the Tarot as the 22 trump of the Arcanum which provides us with a key for interpreting the 10 primary laws and the 22 Paths of the Qabalah.

The first 11 principles of the Tarot involve formation as a complete cycle, and the second 11 the process for transformation of the original form created to a higher and more perfected state. The 22 major Arcanum of the Tarot form a dynamic series of correspondences that correlate with the 22 letters of the Hebrew alphabet and can be used for interpreting and deciphering the symbolic code inherent in words and names. The Qabalah has 10 primary and 1 invisible sphere (11) that's not an actual principle as an operation, but symbolizes instead moving from a higher plane to a lower one for a total of 11 spheres.  These 11 spheres correspond with the 22 archetypes of the Tarot as a descent of spirit into form and then the ascent back into spirit as the full cycle of creation and transformation.

The 7 Hermetic Principles represent mental states and processes of creation that are energetic in nature and correspond with the 7 chakras of the subtle body (mind), 7 planets of the zodiac, 7 colors of the spectrum, 7 notes of a musical scale, and so on. The key to understanding spiritual principles in terms of being able to accurately interpret them is in understanding the Law of Correspondence, which is the 2nd of the 7 Principles. These principles give us insight and instruction on how to use our mind to create our self and our reality, which are done through the same mental process. Following a metaphorical correspondence to the 7 chakras, the first 3 are immutable (meaning they can't be changed or transcended), and the 4 that proceed out of them are mutable and can be worked with by using the first 3 to transform them.

All laws exist as a relationship where one lays the foundation necessary for the next to spontaneously arise out of it as a growth process (the beginning and end as a continuous cycle). When we're looking at the principle represented by 3 as the Triad, it comes as the full expression of 0-2, while still containing the latent potential of 4-9. The Monad, which is the primary principle of the mind and soul, contains the seeded potential for all the rest, which it acts to birth as a process of creation by turning an invisible idea into a material form.

All names that are used in spiritual texts and allegories are actually a code, which when interpreted accurately through the formula of principles inherent in the letters that spell the name, give us great insight into the active forces as an operation that's actively expressing through their personality and activities. Throughout biblical texts there are 72 (9) names of God that are used in the context of various allegories, which serves as a code that reveals the law as an operation being used and quality of consciousness being expressed through the nature of the operation.

In a similar manner, any sequences of numbers serve as a formula of principles that together perform a singular operation. While all multiple digits are broken down to a single digit as a primary principle or stage of an overall process, the numbers the formulas comprised of gives us further clues as to the qualities and relationships involved. Example: 163 = 10 = 1. The 163 gives us insight into the energetic nature of 10, and how it exists in relationship with 1 as a combined function of a particular nature. The 1, 6 and 3 are principles as a relationship or sequence of coordinated activity that acts as instructions for how to perform the overall operation represented by 1.

Names, dimensions, dates, coordinates, relationships, symbolic form, colors, sounds, and so on, are providing us with dynamic formulas as to the inner nature (soul) of something, not as an actual physical description of the object itself. While we tend to think that the spiritual world is symbolic of the material world, it's actually the other way around. The form doesn't give rise to the life that inhabits it, it's the life as the soul that acts to shape the form as a correspondence or symbolic representation of itself. Our soul exists as an archetype imbued with specific attributes and qualities that form a corresponding vibration. All vibration is a thematic pattern shaped by a mental image. Whatever image of ourselves we form we systematically shape others and the world at large to be of the same image and likeness. The nature of the form gives us clues as to the nature of the consciousness that first acts to shape it then animates it with life.

It's only through our inherent (practical) understanding of universal law and principles and the dynamic system of correspondences that we can accurately decipher the code hidden in material form as the principles actively operating to create it and then use it to express through. The chain-of-association that naturally takes place when we view everything as symbolic is based on our personal knowledge of attributes and qualities that pertain to specific ideas as correlations. As with algebra, we can know the unknown parts of any equation by how they exist in relationship to the known parts. All material form is shaped as a relationship with its creator.
