Following the intermission, we heard a performance of Beethoven’s Piano Concerto no. 5, popularly known as the Emperor Concerto. It is one of the most powerful pieces ever written. The pianist was fantastic. With great vitality, he employed his crystal-ray chakras through his hands, his feet and his heart to render a great work of light. As the music streamed from his fingers, I closed my eyes and felt the surge of light through the auric field of the entire audience. The chord structures of the Logos were released as a dynamic expression of beingness. The musicians played with great alacrity, each note in perfect sequential order—in perfect rhythm with the waving of the maestro’s wand.
Beethoven’s music delivers to the listener cosmic embellishments of light. The Emperor Concerto is truly a work of divine science and heavenly art. It is a creation that you can hear over and over and be uplifted in spirit every time. It conveys the divine order of heaven and brings cosmic light into play. When I awoke the morning after the concert, it had rained and the entire atmosphere of the city was changed.
Your auras can be charged with light when you listen to and deeply feel divinely inspired music within your heart and soul. You can use it in your meditations to enter into a sacred space whereby you fully imbibe the light of your Presence. Through music that is peaceful and soothing to our souls, our auras begin to shine with greater light as a new age of understanding and truth emerges from within.
JOY INCREASES
THE LIGHT IN THE AURA
The beating heart of the universe is holy joy .
—Martin Buber, quoted in Simplicity: The Art of Living
by Richard Rohr
Joy is the motor of life and the energizer of our auras. When people are joyful, there is a special sheen within and around the aura that is beautiful because joy is a divine virtue and an important element on our spiritual path. Joy is a living light essence, and the Great Central Sun emits a quotient of spiritual fire that is then stepped down by other suns and showered upon us by our own sun and our own Solar Presence. All of these suns are constantly streaming forth to our Earth and to us tremendous waves and photonic particles of divine energy, which are all packaged in joy!
Jesus’ musical keynote is “Joy to the World.” Gautama Buddha’s musical keynote is the fourth and final movement of Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony that includes the “Ode to Joy,” whose words are from an epic poem by Goethe. These two great avatars and world teachers, Jesus and Buddha, both incorporated the sacred energy of joy into their lives and shared it in intimate experiences with their disciples. Even now from the ascended state, they are continuing to expand their own joy flame. They are enlightening souls through the wisdom and illumination that carry great joy to those who are impacted by their example of pure love and compassion.
Incorporating joy into our spiritual practice results in the creation of an aura of harmony and peace so that our journey may be fun-spirited and not morose or full of anxiety. During the Piscean Age, many walked the path of the via dolorosa , the sorrowful way. In this time of Aquarius dawning, we are all destined to walk the path of joy and levity—the glorious way, the via gloriosa !
Much of the music that is called “the blues” actually creates grey in our auras, not blue! It’s the music of the sorrowful way—“Woe is me ,” “Alas, my lover left me,” “I’m in the dumps,” etc. This old song-book has to give way to the music of joy and the fun path of light! It’s time that the blues gives way to the true blues, “the joys.”
Joy allows us to incorporate the New Blue energies, the joyful and youthful energies, spoken of by El Morya and other masters. In our current epoch, the dawning of the Age of Aquarius, the New Blue music will be the music of joy, not sorrow. We can help create this shift by playing and listening to beautiful, uplifting music, such as that sung by some of my favorite singers—Hayley Westenra, Jackie Evancho, Charlotte Church, Andrea Bochelli and Juan Diego Flórez, to name a few.
I honor people’s creativity in composing improvisational music within all genres because I believe that spontaneity is an aspect of the Holy Spirit. However, what lasting good comes from harping on past disappointments and the downward spirals of eroding relationships or bad times? It’s now time to wipe the slate clean and allow the music of pure joy to roll around the world and be sung everywhere!
How do we feel when we hear Christmas music such as “Joy to the World” and participate in the celebration of the coming of the Son of God to the Earth? It buoys us up. We feel more friendly, loving and kind as we commune with angels and think about the wise men, the shepherds, the animals and the nature spirits that were present that holy night in Bethlehem. I think God planned for those of us in the Northern Hemisphere to have this uplifting music to listen to during the darkest time of the year. When the angels are present through their heavenly music, we all feel better!
One miracle gift of joy to our world is the violet laser light (discussed in chapter 22), lovingly shared with us by the Master Saint Germain, advocate of freedom and master alchemist of the light of joy. All spiritual practices can benefit from the use of this energy field of transmutation because at its core is the fire of pure joy. Self-transformation is a joyous activity. For as we progress on our spiritual path, we always receive new opportunities to serve others with joy. The violet fire of freedom and transmutation allows us to accelerate the healing of our past, as we completely erase ancient records and accept a new state of being within God’s joy-field of light!
Remember in the movie Forrest Gump , when Forrest has become a famous long-distance runner who’s been jogging continuously for months? Through a strange twist of fate, he wipes his dirty face on a T-shirt given to him by a struggling salesman. A smiley face miraculously appears on the shirt! The salesman gets a bright idea and proceeds to make a mint from the sale of this universal symbol of happiness and joy. Today millions include the smiling sun face in emails, texts and chats!
Joy is a divine panacea. I believe that when we are in the flow and focused on our spiritual work, a natural element of joy enters our consciousness that allows our auras to be focused and purified and we begin to glow. When we’re in the zone of our highest work, our true vocation, we’re happy. I hope that each of you has found your perfect vocation, that which brings your greatest joy. If not, there’s still time to get it right and shift into a new vocation so that you love what you do.
If you’ve retired or are in your elder years, many aspects of your spiritual vocation can flower within your life and bring great joy to your soul and to the world. You can engage in fulfilling your greater purpose through spiritual work. I believe this is what brings us the greatest joy.
THE CHAKRAS AS FOCI
OF GOD CONSCIOUSNESS
Only the light-bearing consciousness of the heart
will carry the subtle body into the higher realms.
—El Morya, Heart
The chakras are the sacred centers of light in our electronic light bodies that are keys to our health and vitality. They are foci of God Consciousness, of our higher Solar awareness, which allow the light of our Presence to be anchored within and flow through our auric fields. When we have balanced and humming chakras, there is a greater flow of energy and light within our auras.
How and why do chakras become imbalanced? There is a tendency at times, through entropy and spiritual boredom, for us to sink to the level of mass consciousness. It takes a thrust of energy for us to be constant in our spiritual practices so that we can return to our native state of oneness with God. When we are in the state of eternal beingness and harmonic balance, our chakras are aligned and energy flows freely through our auric fields.
The auric field is meant to be a resonator of God’s virtues and qualities. Each of the seven major chakras is meant to focus the expressive qualities of a divine virtue. There are also twelve sub-virtues associated with each of the twelve primary chakras, for a total of 144 virtues in all. These are quintessences of the Spirit that the Great Central Sun emanates and whi
ch we may accept and assimilate through our chakras and within our auric fields of light.
If we have worked conscientiously to develop ourselves spiritually, a balanced quotient of light courses through our chakras, which then spin fluidly, vigorously and rigorously. As our chakras are oiled by our devotion, we experience an action of higher, more refined frequencies within us. These in turn allow us to attune to the vibrations of our Higher Self, the ascended masters, great cosmic beings and ultimately the Great Central Sun.
At the core of each chakra is a sun. This tiny sun’s radiance facilitates the oiling of the axes of light that extend to the outer regions of the chakra. These axes are like the spokes of a wheel, and they relate to the different petals of the chakra. Through the spinning of the petals, a natural harmonic field is created within and around each chakra that can be heard as a subtle humming sound. The toning of our chakras helps us attune to higher frequencies, fields of divine energy in the etheric worlds.
Benjamin Franklin sought to embody thirteen virtues that were inspired upon him. He worked diligently on each virtue until he felt that he had become its highest essence. These virtues are:
Temperance: Eat not to dullness; drink not to elevation;
Silence: Speak not but what may benefit others or yourself; avoid trifling conversations;
Order: Let all your things have their places; let each part of your business have its time;
Resolution: Resolve to perform what you ought; perform without fail what you resolve;
Frugality: Make no expense but to do good to others or yourself; that is, waste nothing;
Industry: Lose not time; be always employed in something useful; cut off all unnecessary actions;
Sincerity: Use no hurtful deceit; think innocently and justly; speak accordingly;
Justice: Wrong none by doing injuries or omitting the benefits that are your duty;
Moderation: Avoid extremes; forbear resenting injuries so much as you think you deserve;
Cleanliness: Tolerate no uncleanliness in body, clothes or habitation;
Tranquility: Be not disturbed at trifles or accidents common or unavoidable;
Chastity: Rarely use venery but for health or offspring; never to dullness, weakness, or the injury of your own or another’s peace or reputation;
Humility : Imitate Jesus and Socrates. 1
I include these for our meditation and reflection. When we lovingly embody these and other virtues, there is an engagement and acceleration of the spin of our chakras within the auric field that is beautiful to behold. This is the natural, divine estate of every son and daughter of God. From time to time, though, we may pick up anomalies that can become lodged within our auric field. These dark matrices may reside within our subconscious minds or within an area called the electronic belt, and they are antithetical to the divine virtues. We may even begin to experience a state of stasis, lethargy and depression. It’s incumbent upon us to work on ourselves to transmute and dissolve these almost imperceptible negative engrams and patterns within our auras so that we can again vibrate in synchronicity with our great God Presence.
In Intermediate Studies of the Human Aura by Djwal Kul, there are illustrations of what occurs in the aura when people are engaged in various dark activities. The book depicts patterns that appear in the auras of black magicians; in those whose energies are concentrated in the mental sphere; and in those with a sympathetic heart whereby the light droops from their heart down to the solar plexus. When I notice someone engaging in sympathy rather than empathy, I get a sinking feeling in the area around my heart chakra that, indeed, descends to the area of my solar plexus.
How do we get beyond this and remain tethered to our divine state of beingness and love? How do we avoid the pitfalls of negative activities and undesirable relationships that do not serve us well? The sun within each chakra is the key. Attuning to the essence of each chakra, within its core, connects us to its purpose in facilitating our spiritual growth and development. When our chakras are open and spinning, we can receive the light from our Source to deal with and overcome the darker elements of our not-self yet remaining to be resolved.
This is why solar gazing and the solar sciences are so important. When we look upon the sun and meditate upon our God Presence, there is delivered to us, within the sun presence of each chakra and within each cell, a ray of intelligent energy that activates the natural processes of our spiritual growth. Our highest potential may be accessed from within these sacred centers of light, for they are portals to the Divine Us. Being closed off from the sun and not focused on our God Presence is like having a shade down on a window—we are not able to truly see or feel the full intensity of the sunlight with its revivifying energies that may help heal us and bring us peace.
Many people have been conditioned to think that wearing sunglasses is necessary whenever they’re out in the sun. Various well-meaning practitioners tell us that too much sun is detrimental, and they are partially right. However, shading our eyes completely from the light of the sun with filtered sunglasses prevents us from receiving all of the beautiful and beneficial rays and frequencies that we require for life itself. To me, wearing sunglasses constantly signifies that someone desires to cover over his inner eyes and avoid gazing upon his true identity, his Solar Presence, his eternal Self.
I encourage you to consider spending more time in the sun without always using sunglasses. Of course, at times it is essential to wear them, such as when you’re driving directly into the sun or when you must shade your eyes to protect them from damage. But in general, it’s important to allow times when you refrain from wearing sunglasses to allow the divine streams of God’s virtues to make contact with the retina—not looking directly into the sun but slightly away from it, closing your eyes as necessary while still drinking in the light of God. When our chakras are spinning and vibrating in the beautiful energy field of our aura, there is the natural nourishment of all of the cells that abide within our energy body, our light body. The chakras are foci for the feeding of our entire electronic field with these beautiful virtues and streams of awareness. They are our true spiritual food.
As aspiring adepts, we are destined, in an energetic sense, to eat fire and to drink light, as the Master Omraam Mikhaël Aïvanhov says. When we accept within us the virtues from the Great Central Sun—stepped down through galaxies, solar systems, our own God Presence and the ascended masters’ causal bodies—we feel enlivened and enlightened. We meditate upon light and all of its beautiful gradations that flow through us for the blessing of life. We feel free and clear.
Our auras begin to glow like the aura of the sun. This is our goal: that our auras fully reflect and resemble the sun. Our spiritual Godfather-Godmother live within the sun—perfect examples of vitality, longevity, beauty, harmony and grace. We are reenergized when we lock into the sun’s divine currents and embody our own Son consciousness—both S-o-n, as the Son of God, and S-u-n, as the Solar beings who we really are.
If we desire greater light, we can open a greater flow to tap into God’s divine resources by having an open heart, mind and soul. We can be mindful to keep our vision open. This openness will allow us to receive inspiration as illumination and wisdom from our higher mind and from our God Source. The rays from the sun that shine upon us also carry visionary messages for us from our Real Self because our Solar Presence is one with the Sun. Our job is to discern their meaning for us now and to interpret how we may apply them in practical ways today.
Some of what I’ve shared in this chapter may seem esoteric. Yet, as you meditate upon your God Presence and use the solar sciences in your life, you will begin to access greater and greater spiritual resources from within yourself. Understanding will flow to you through all manner of beautiful revelations and flashes of divine knowledge and wisdom. I hope that when you experience this, you will record your revelations through journaling. Allow them to resonate within your mind and dance within your heart for a time so that you feel fully empower
ed by that which is newly unfolding from within you. Your vibrant chakras within your quickened auric field are now beginning to hum in resonance with the music of your soul, the symphony of the sun, the music of the spheres. You are living in a wonderful new world of divine glory and solar joy!
THE WEB OF LIFE
AND THE TREE OF LIFE
There is a strong and unseen contact between
all of humanity. Some Native Americans call this link
“the long body,” which is the belief that everyone is
joined on a sort of spiritual level.
—Dannion Brinkley, At Peace in the Light
A vast and amazing web of life energetically connects us all. In the East it is called the antahkarana . I’ll never forget the first time I saw The Lion King in the theater and heard the words and music to the song “Circle of Life.” It sent an intense rush of energy up my spine and throughout my body and brought tears to my eyes. Although the music was intense and dramatic, I also felt deep within my soul the connection between all life forms spoken about in the lyrics. When my family vacationed at the Animal Kingdom in Disney World and saw the live theatrical version, Festival of the Lion King , I was again inundated with the same intense feeling of my oneness with all life.
This circle or web of life allows us to communicate at a soul level and be at one with every other sentient being through the energy of love within our hearts. Every spider’s web is an architectural marvel that gives us clues as to how the deity created this intricate universal matrix of reality that, in some subtle way, unites us all.
