"The Warning Signs And Spiritual Well Being" 

 

Do your really think that just because someone has been meditating for five years, or doing 10 years of yoga practice, or been studying a form of mental mind work that they will be any less neurotic than the next person? 

It is for this reason that I spent the last 30 years of my life researching and more recently writing on cultivating discernment on the spiritual path in all the power, sex, enlightenment, inverted masters, gurus, the psychology, the hypnosis, and of course the neurosis formed from confused and unconscious, motivations on the path to becoming enlightened. 

I have on many occasions over the years come into contact with hundreds of spiritual teachers and thousands of spiritual practitioners through my work in the natural therapies industry and personal travels, spiritual views, perspectives and experiences become similarly "infected" by "conceptual contaminants" comprising a confused and immature relationship to complex spiritual principles can seem as invisible and insidious as cancer slowly consuming ones lymphatic system.
One of the most outstanding of the so called masters is a spiritual arrogance and more than likely the God complexes.
I have met those that say they are so aware, so enlightened  that orgasm is instantaneous in thought, and so the postulations and attractions continue in many forms.

Below are some important areas to examine within, call it the ABC of realizations:- 
 
A. Takeaway Its Fast Spirituality: Mix spirituality with a culture that celebrates speed, multitasking and instant gratification and the result is likely to be all McDonalds spirituality. Fast-food spirituality is a product of the common and understandable fantasy that relief from the suffering of our human condition can be quick and easy the real Big Mac. One thing is clear, however: spiritual transformation cannot be had in a quick fix nor is it found in a drive through at a massive cost to your pocket.


B. Dressed Spirituality: Dressed Spirituality is the tendency to talk, dress and act as we imagine, based on the leaders of the old Eastern traditions and we expect this of a spiritual person. It is a kind of imitation spirituality that mimics spiritual realization in the way that synthetic fox fur imitates the genuine fur of a fox.

C. Confused Motivations: Although our desires to grow are genuine and pure, it often gets mixed with lesser motivations, including the wish to be loved, the desire to belong, the deep need to fill our internal emptiness, the belief that the spiritual path will remove our suffering and spiritual ambition, that need and wish to be someone or something special, to be better than, to be "the one," to help the many.

D. Identifying with Spiritual Experiences: In this, the ego identifies with our spiritual experience and takes it as its own, and we begin to believe that we are embodying insights that have arisen within us at certain times. In most cases, it does not last indefinitely, although it tends to endure for longer periods of time in those who believe themselves to be enlightened and/or who function as spiritual teachers.

E. The Spiritualized Ego: This occurs when the very structure of the egoic personality becomes deeply embedded with spiritual concepts and ideas. The result is an egoic structure that is "bullet-proof." When the ego becomes spiritualized, we are invulnerable to help, new input, or constructive feedback. We become impenetrable human beings and are slowed or even stunted in our spiritual growth, all in the name of spirituality.

F. Masses of Spiritual Teachers: There are a number of current trendy spiritual traditions that produce people who believe themselves to be at a level of spiritual enlightenment, or mastery, that is far beyond their actual level. This functions like a spiritual conveyor belt: By putting on this persona and shine, you can get that insight, and "bingo"  you're enlightened and ready to enlighten others in similar fashion. The costs are most interesting. The problem is not that such teachers instruct but that they represent themselves as having achieved spiritual mastery at a price.

G. Spiritual Pride: Spiritual pride arises when the practitioner, through years of labored effort, has actually attained a certain level of wisdom and uses that attainment to justify shutting down to further experience. A feeling of "spiritual superiority" is another very real symptom.
It manifests as a subtle feeling that "I am better, more wise and above others because I am spiritual." But they refuse to share this information, it remains hidden. Remember to test a teacher.

H. Group Mind: Also described as group think, cultic mentality or ashram dis-ease, a group mind is an insidious virus that contains many elements of traditional co-dependence. A spiritual group makes subtle and unconscious agreements regarding the correct ways to think, talk, dress, and act. Individuals and groups infected with "group mind" reject individuals, attitudes, and circumstances that do not conform to the often unwritten rules of the group.

I. The Chosen-few Complex: The chosen few complex is not limited to the Jewish or a secret group. It is the belief that "Our group is more spiritually evolved, more powerfully, enlightened and, simply put, better than any other group." There is an important distinction between the recognition that one has found the right path, teacher or community for themselves, and having found The One true connection.

J. The Deadly Virus: "I Have Arrived": This is so potent that it has the capacity to be terminal and deadly to our spiritual evolution. This is the belief that "I have arrived" at the final goal of the spiritual path. Our spiritual progress ends at the point where this belief becomes crystallized in our psyche, for the moment we begin to believe that we have reached the end of the path, further growth ceases.


You can only fall in love with someone you can see clearly including yourself. To love is to have a heart that see. It is only when you see yourself clearly that you can begin to love yourself."
It is indeed a critical part of learning discernment on the spiritual path in discovering the pervasive illnesses of ego and self-deception that are in all of us. That is when we need a sense of humor and the support of real spiritual friends. As we confront our obstacles to spiritual growth, there are times when it is easy to fall into a sense of despair and self-diminishment and lose our confidence on the path. 

By maintaining faith in ourselves and those of similar realizations, we may well really make a difference in this world.

Quantum Light Servers 

I open this with a prayer to all who are guided to read here, may the lights abide.

What is a reverend today? You may well be asking and how can I seek spiritual counsel? This may surprise the reader we do not solve your problems we enable you to, for the work begins with you. Today reverends and ministers have evolved to embrace and accept all concepts, all peoples belief systems however, we do not attach to those beliefs personally, all is replaced with great respect, gratitude and a deeper understanding of the evolvements taking place for everyone world wide. Rather than looking with the mind based on antiquated psychological concepts and beliefs, the heart guides us.
 
The days of cloistered living and immunity to everyday life are no longer part of our training however, we do take periods of time in deep contemplation and dissolution of learned patterns, this can also be seen as an alchemical purification and rest from work, just like anyone taking a holiday. We move around and in life among you thus evolving with the people who we serve, not sitting in a room concerned with being defiled and tainted by others perceived reality or lack of purity with God or the source. During our training which is continual, people yes you and many are our teachers, this is not to say we deny Tao but rather the opposite for Tao / God dwells within everyone of you.

 Contrary to popular belief there still lingers in society concepts that, a reverend or minister must be seen to behave in a particular way and conduct manners which society has been accustomed to believe equates to spiritual worth, this includes the attire one dons, ultimately sitting comfortably with the indoctrinated believer.  
Unfortunately many of our young people no longer understand the ways of old, they speak entirely differently, as well as think in  quantum awareness's. Gone are the days of implying masturbation is evil or self love a selfish attribute, people know there is more out there much much more.

I am often asked to describe what does a light server or reverend  do? And what can we do for a person, far from the realms of grandiose ego yet rather humbled I shall endeavor to express this.
We are the witness of and for the higher consciousness of the seeker struggling with life pain and growing unto themselves into spiritual beings on this wonderful earth. Can we absolve sins and give absolution? Yes and so can you, we petition on your behalf the time of awakening and awareness you seek within peace.  For the seeker emits a call that can be heard.
Our strengths lay in our abilities not to be pulled from our path of service. A reverend has had many tests faced throughout his or her life, and still the call to service abides. Are we super human, gifted by God or the God's? No of course not, we are just like you human and in experience of living. Do doubts enter our minds? Yes of course, we are no different than the next person we have merely survived many life trials like you and are subject to thinking. 
We have been taught the arts of letting go and soon washed clean, aware we own nothing, no thoughts, no-thing. This is an important freedom key to ponder when empathy overwhelms us and it can, and does lead to inner turmoils that rake the soul.
We do suffer the same ill's, and get sick? Yes of course, and at times we to require help from those we also help,  this is the way. Do we walk above others, are we different from you? No of course not, we are all the same and connected, some have simply honed their inner skills as example to others, not all is as it appears. 

We do not scoff at anther's way of living nor believing, there is no right nor wrong, for this would be judgement, and no one is above the hands of the realm of lights.  
Is there sin? Christians are told this is so, and you may hear, 'no one is born essentially evil they are created by society. Is a murder evil, is a child without sin and can society in turn murder the murder? 
Is a psychopath plagued by the Worrior gene from birth and what activates his or her behaviour, still the sciences fail to explain, does society enable such capabilities of the psychopath from the start, is it a learned behaviour? And the questions go on ‘and what part is God playing in this? Or are those that are different out side the agreed norm, simply born evil?

When another practices magic, and seeks his comforts within the darkness we do not sit with a mighty cast of disapproval, nor do we enter into the need to change and drag another into the light, that we think is far befitting and scream to pray for their soul. We do not reserve the right to force the hand of the spiritual upon any man, women or child.  Many sit within judgements of another’s life, your neighbour, brother, cozen, friend or those whom suffer depression and mental illness whom are judged failures according to society to function within the norm, or we reject those who practice paganism, magick and the many arts. “If you do judge "You are living within fear and the illusion of suffering yourself, return to your research for you are only half of the light you wish to be and serve". Many new age thinkers are still holding fast to learned behaviour, what is right and wrong and you will read and hear ‘We shall FIGHT for this and that’. Have we really changed? Have we evolved has our language? 

I have heard it said that; 'When light enters darkness the dark can not abide'. Let us look at this another way. There are always two forces, dark and light and they are side by side, within each other and united. We know this is day light because we have the opposite that which is night and we accept this readily because we are aware or are we?
When you hear I can accept that you are pretty, but I cannot accept that you are ugly, or I like the sun but not the dark. The mind differentiates like and dislike, the heart does not. We have and always will live with these two aspects in nature known as duality. And so to society agrees by collective agreement to differentiate, and to see one as fitter, better stronger, of more grace and worth. Dark is associated with evil they say, yet in the eastern philosophies and age long traditions show us, yin is the dark aspect that which is water to nourish our lands and female the giver of life upon earth. Why does the western perception speak of a blackness as evil?  The battle of one over the other, 'He Lucifer the fallen black angel from our fathers side, made black by his behaviour. We may well be asking ourselves in this moment really! 
I am not asking the reader to accept a murderer merely to contemplate that this world will always have two opposing aspects, what remains in question is that which holds you and for how long.
Perhaps such acts are neither black nor white they simply just are. And this is where we have another key 'balance' and the force within to not dwell upon either for extended time frames. How such matters as murders are dealt with in society are not for me to comment on in this medium.

Having worked with myriads of people from every walk of life and form of suffering, all of whom wish to escape the inevitable, the call of death from the body, or the release from the agonies of cancer, all tell me the same, they want and wish to escape pain and suffering in agony to ascend, yet they fear what this entails, and what they leave behind. Their energy is their world which binds them to what is considered to be solid and realism or suffering by some schools of thought, yet they the seeker cannot release from this life time building and coat they adorn in personality. 

At the calling of sun's we enable the gateway for the soul and spirit to make their journey in awareness not in fear of damnation and rotting within hallowed soils forgotten in time nor a lost memory.
Do we believe in Karma, the fires of the hell realms, purgatory, being forsaken, being Catholic, being a Baptist, Mormon, Pentecostal, Buddhist and so on? And being cast down from the heavens for our wrongs in life? Let me ask you, Do you? 
As a Taoist and Reverend I have no such beliefs however, those whom seek help do and their visions are within my hearts which look beyond mind chatter. When we view with compassion and deep gratitude there is a transformation, an alchemical process for the seekers acquired learning upon earth. The seeker is no fool at the heart of awakening and only the mind doubts, thoughts are replaced with an over whelming sense of peace and letting go. At a deeper level the subconscious awakens, overrides the mind and takes it's place in all knowing the inner eye awakens.  It is the heart which remains unspoken that shines from the soul and the spirit screaming to be heard and of course be felt, it is the aware that hear and sense the call.

So what of gifts many mention? The gift to sense or see the human aura, to be empathic, clairvoyant, clairaudient, clairsentient, and of course it's just plain evil others explain. I often pose the question to people, 'Does in your mind, a benevolent loving compassionate father above whom you believe in only give us / you one chance to "Get It Right"? Life I refer to. Many have left my door to seek conference with their elders for just such questions. When we are adorned with proven tools of assistance or gifts, these are humbling and subtle, not something to be shouted and made a chargeable commodity, still many do but let me ask you, how many are wealthy and I mean within themselves, when you seek answers really have a good look at those that are providing such services, and consider you are just as gifted, your mind is playing you with another game “self doubt and fear”. Having any ability really becomes evident when it is applied in true meaning, that of service. What good is knowledge without it having a practical application?

A reverends early life is a mass of experience, deep inner soul searching, and the continual returns to the beginnings, nights are plagued with deep communion and communication with our fathers and mothers of the light, yes many whom watch and guide us here on earth at different stages of our evolvement and all whom reside within the lights. The bibles and there are many “for tale” to be warned of false god's and deities and on it goes warning after warning, do we not seek wisdom beyond that which we have been taught?  Many quote the ending of earth time as we know it, yet they are reluctant to consider anything other than death of mortal body and sitting at the right hand of God. They further go on to dam science and quantum science's as evil and yet, daily science is uncovering yet another story about Gaia and her times, archaeological expeditions and digs have uncovered the origins of the Sutra’s far differently than previously thought, there are many, many examples of information that have transformed the way that we now think about our forefathers and teachers, the churches and prominent scholars of times past. Dr Emote has shown with out doubt that our thoughts can affect water at a molecular level, to see the effects and measure quantum mind power, this is only one example of changing the way we see our world inside and outside ourselves.  

Today spiritual confusion is growing at a very fast rate, people are no longer sure what they should believe in. Confucianism, Buddhism, Christendom, The Holy Mother space ships, sciences, crystals, card readers, mediums. love ‘everything is love and gratitude or expressions to the universe.
As creatures of adaptation that which we spend our time with the most is likely to be that which we adapt to. Bandwagons come and go, still today our core beliefs and spiritual values are being challenged with the advent of massive multicultural and diverse options available to us, through the internet and communities now living in close proximity spilling into each other.
What to believe in? We are led to believe we must have a faith, that which is tangible to be relied upon, yet this is external in many instances, someone must be the guide or the teacher. The mind processes by deliberation and the 

quantum masters of old left us parables to contemplate for good reason, when given an answer we are less likely to believe what we have been told, this is because the mind goes through a process of weighing up all factors before it, a continual process is taking place evaluating what is acceptable, viable and so on. When this has taken place a decision is reached. A parable is for just this reason to enable a process. How one person concludes is not necessarily how another may conclude. We are all in different stages of evolvement and therefore perceptions will vary quite dramatically from one person to another. For the one message that our true enlightened forefathers and teachers left us was choice through thought not dictator ship. You decided. 


In closing, it is not my intention here to lessen nor devalue the churches of old, nor the new movements and not place them among thoughts of no use on the contrary, all are needed as we evolve at different levels. It is some time away that we shall see unity and balance in a world that is in continual flux and duality, until such times we, each and every one of us has a roll to attend.
Dusts will be collected and scattered, collected and scattered, until the quantum energies combine, and you the star, your Merkaba or ascension to travel calls.
To all blessings in Tao, may the lights abide, may you know the way, and may we all hold the lamp in your darkness, may we walk together in light and peaceful balance as one. 

N.B.I give thanks to the thousands that have helped in creating this article, to the many light and dark workers out there you know who you are, as well as my dear close friends, my dear son, Arthur, Neil, Neville, Iaian, Rita, Benjamin, my great teachers, Pauline, Vera, Gilbert, Alex, Barry, Helge and Harry for supplying my lovely computer, and those from the stars for so many lamps have you all lit within.. Blessings my brothers and sisters.

Immortal Children

Immortal Children Of Dance

Gather before sun, 
gather before moon.

Speak not of fooled reality, seek upon thy illusions of minds.

Challenge thy minds with swords of light,

Cheat thy body of desires.

Look upon hearts as one, and chariots of immortal resurrection.

Float thy breath among clouds of day and stars of night.

For we are dance immortalized.

Working with Crystals Part II 
Always Cleanse your Crystal's

Greetings, the universe is built upon crystalline structures which pervade every dimension gross and subtle in their sub forces and are arising spontaneously. Imagine a vast universal grid interconnecting all planes of existence. The interconnectedness allows for the flow of information and interrelated changes between all dimensions and levels of creation.

When using your crystal and of course affirmations as well a deep thought process intention I place crystals on the main chakra are of the body:-

Chakra	Colour	Crystal / Gemstone
Base	Black Smoky	Quartz
Sacral  (Spleen)	Red / Orange	Camelian
Naval	Orange / Yellow	Citrine
Solar Plexus	Green	Green Adventurine
Heart	Pink	Rose Quartz
Throat	Sky Blue	Blue Lace Agate
Third Eye	Violet / Purple	Amethyst
Crown	Clear White	Clear Quartz

In order to see the benefits of crystal uses I suggest testing the chakra prior to treatment and again afterwards using a pendulum. Slowly remove each crystal starting at the base and working up the body.

I use a circular motion as I move each crystal clockwise this helps to ensure a sealed flow of energy rather that just pulling them away from the body. Remember your thoughts are being transmitted as you work together, you, the crystal/s and the receiver at very deep levels.

Among crystals I may use amber, pearls and even shells all of which have their own frequencies and beneficial energy. With practice you will a tune to energies and without knowing you will be able to energy read the body of each clients needs.

What to do:-

Place a crystal over the site of the chakra center or pain area for several minutes or longer if you wish, check the receiver is comfortable. Shortly into the therapy session a client may wish to talk, cry and share dreams even secrets with you. Assure your client of total confidentiality.

There are instants when a client may appear to be not themselves this is quite normal and part of the healing process. Chanting or humming while you work can help to carry and direct energy, this also prevents any unconscious thoughts you may have from transferring.

The Bio Electrical Impulses:-

Energy from the crystal passes through to the body to the point of pain or chakra imbalance.

A meridian when out of balance will spin anti clockwise and this can be seen during pendulum use, it is therefore important that you have a good understanding of pendulum use, and obtain one that you align with (no one else should touch this).

A crystal aligns the meridian and the chakra to spin in a clockwise motion (check with your pendulum) is this correct. Meridians run all over and through the body and along these channels we often have blockages, these occur for many reasons. In crystal therapy our aim is to not only realign the chakra but also clear the pathways for improved energy flow.

A client may report tingling, flushes of warm or cool energy flowing through their limbs, stomach and so on this is quite normal.  

Choosing A Crystal:-

Choosing a crystal is a little more complex and requires a well researched knowledge of many crystals / gemstones and there many uses. As well as a good knowledge of your crystals the human aura colours and chakra points need to be studied, these forms of studies will open the doorway to perceptions and your ability to view energy centers with ease. Practice, practice is what I tell all of my students.

Over the last 25 years I have had clients describe a feeling of being relaxed and more aware of their bodies and the usual heightened sense of awareness. Treating a client and depending of the ailment/s I may prescribe a series of crystals for a client to take home or carry with them over a period of a week or longer.

Severe depression as example, and blocked emotions is a common aliment that presents these days especially with the fast pace that many are expected to keep in the demands of daily life.

I therefore may suggest a client uses rose quartz as this has a releasing and uplifting effect when also combined with amethyst which aids a loving effect for the heart chakra and opens the mind to future thoughts and increased third eye activity, with a return to a sense of direction forward.

Cleansing Your Crystal's:-

1. Wash crystals in cool fresh water if you have river water near you this is excellent, using sea   salt is also good, soak for 24 hours. Some gemstones will dissolve in water check before you submerge them. (Know your stones). 
2. Place in the sun (do not leave for more than 15-20 minutes) as your crystals will fade in colour.
3. Full moon soaks are wonderful, place crystals on the earth grass is good or rocks, leave for the entire evening or several evenings.
4. Pass crystals / stones through burning sage or other herb smoke.
5. Use affirmations to blend your energy with the crystals they work for you and with you to heal in Tao love and light.
6. Keep crystals in a special place, free of dust and many like to be in darkness as well as light.

There are basically no contra indication for use of crystals, so use your crystals for good. This form of healing is for any age or gender, animals also respond well when placed in their bedding, if they wont go near it you are using the wrong one.

N.B. Always take special care with clients who suffer with high blood pressure or epilepsy, a pace maker may be effected. 

Crystals are energy, they power your watch so that should be a good clue.

Spirit Science 13_1 - Crystals

 Natural Healing with Crystal's And Gemstones

For centuries crystal's and gemstones have been associated with mystical and healing powers. From the holy to the spiritual philosophers, these natural resources have been used in many areas of healing and said to restore balance to our main energy centres.

"Frozen water from heaven", or solidified light is how our ancestors described crystal's. The word 'Crystal' is derived from the Greek word for ice.

Crystal's and Gemstones, semi-precious and precious stones are used in therapy to bring about mental, spiritual and physical well being and healing.
As we know crystal is defined as a mineral having a definite atomic structure, smooth flat faces arranged into geometric patterns. These patterns appear as cube or multi faceted in shape, each is individual and said to be a perfect example of organised matter. 

Thus attuning into this perfection of a crystal is meant to bring about the sense of balance and harmony. Today we find crystals in most alternative and orthodox practices, Aromatherapists, Reflexologists, Kinesiologists and so on. I have even found crystal's in your local doctors surgery. Now that is progress!

Crystals work on our own energy levels, energy is the spark 'if you like', that brings everything to life and a force which changes and renews every call of living beings.
Our bodies house channels of energy called 'Meridians' and we each are surrounded by an energy field know as the 'aura' or auric field and sometimes call the auric shield, this is so for all sentient life however, plants also omit an energy field.
To see these fields can take many years of training, still quite simple once you have mastered the technique. Some orders and schools of philosophy believe all life on earth is sentient and therefore lives and produces a field of energy. A rock produces energy still this remains a great debate among many.

When our energy field becomes depleted and it does for many reasons in daily life, we begin to experience a feeling of being unbalanced by external or internal influences / forces; thinking as example in negative context, even eating incorrect foods, that trustee computer screen omits to some degree radiation which of course we absorb through our skin, everything today appears to have a negative impact on our own energy balance/s. Crystal's and gemstones are believed to exert a positive healing energy, re balancing our bodies as we match the frequency of the crystal and our own aura.

By now you maybe thinking 'but just how can a rock actually have an influence really?

I look at it as a matter of fact! Matter is exactly the meaning, molecules vibrating at individual frequencies. Crystal's generate, store and give off electromagnetic energy.

Gemstones such as emeralds one of my favourites along with garnets and jade also vibrate's with energy. I use these gems in the same way as crystals when working with people.
These type of gemstones are also used to create Gem Essences, working similarly to flower essences which I have also had the pleasure of working with, just wonderful results are achieved for the receiver of such therapy.

Here is a quick how to:-

Place your gemstone/s in purified water and leave in the sun, the suns rays transmit the energy from the gemstone into the water. The same effect can be achieved using a pyramid, pendulum or healing energy.  The resulting energized water can be consumed or poured into bottles and drops applied under the tongue, this is similar to Homoeopathy uses "Remember Less Is Best". Just holding the bottle which contains the water is said to be healing to the seeker, this is because of the vibration contained within. The smaller the amount the stronger the vibration remember?!  

WARNING:- 
Avoid using turquoise or malachite, these contain copper and are poisonous to drink.

As a therapist I use crystal's to stimulate healing in the whole person, and electrical frequencies emanated by quartz help to clear and speed the healing process at many levels, clients describe the energy as a deep pulsing.

WARNING:- 
In cases of micro muscle tears, breaks or any other already tender area this pulsing from the crystal's can become uncomfortable for the person you are working with, so I suggest you move the crystal further from the area that you are treating. Reapply it closer in increments. Check with the receiver.
 
Animals are particularly sensitive to crystals if you are working with them, again not to close to the area.


See you soon for my next article.
'Always cleanse your crystal's prior to treatment'.
Blessings in Tao
