Mystical
Path 7. Soaring In Faith
Everything
you can imagine is possible. It is as simple as
1*2*3 Clear definition of our intention, living as
if our intension is already manifest (recognize it
already it, your physical self simply has not
allowed it to appear) and remove all blockages
(cleaning) There are just two options in
experiencing the results of 1*2*3: 1: Study the Laws
of the Universe supporting the 3 steps and 2:)
Simply connect to the God within and have faith!
Now before you just sit around and say you have
faith and you are waiting for all your visions to
manifest, let's be reminded of the Universal Laws of
Pure Potentiality, Gratitude, Forgiveness and
Detachment. Jesus Christ expressed the Father within
by manifesting the power of the field, the divine
energy within himself and demonstrated by example
what is possible for us. He did this by going deep
within himself and sharing his ability to live
connected to the source. Way Shower are the words we
hear at service. He showed us The Way to bliss - to
The Source - To The Field To God.
Now do you pay attention to modern day
miracles? We know the story of Myrtle Fillmore who
said she believed there was more to do here and
imaged herself being healed with the strength of God
- the same God in all of us. Let's look at another
miracle that affected hundreds of millions of people
and is likely to be the catalyst that ultimately
resulted in the end of communism.
In ____ a group of 20 college kids were recruited
to represent the United States in the Winter
Olympics. No different than people you see in
that the age group of 17-20 today. All the same
issues that boys of that age have. Hormones gushing,
rebellious, impatient. There was a strong connection
- they could skate and play hockey.
Move away from the ice rink for a minute and
think of two huge gorillas scratching, clawing and
blowing smoke out their nostrils threatening to tear
each other to threads with the least provocation.
Those two gorillas were the United States and Russia
in the midst of a very intense passionate cold war.
Russia wouldn't consider any match of any issue
just a sport. So Russia assembled the Stanley Cup
Champion team (or Superbowl or World Series team -
you get the point - Russia brought in the KGB of
professional hockey players and the United States
had the best they could find on college campuses and
each of those players were in compliance with the
rules and regulations of the Olympic amateur player
rules of the day. Russian players were very much
outside the criteria of amateur players and could
get away with it because there was not a comparable
professional sports designation in the USSR at the
time.
That is the
back drop - the college kids didn't have a chance -
on paper.
Read this excerpt:
"Mark
Pavelich
passed to U.S. captain
Mike Eruzione,
who was left undefended in the high
slot.
Eruzione fired a shot past Myshkin,
who was
screened
by his own defenseman. This goal
gave the U.S. a 4-3 lead with
exactly 10 minutes to play in the
contest.
Craig (goalie) withstood another
series of Soviet shots to finish the
match, though the Soviets did not
remove their goalkeeper for an
extra attacker.
As the U.S. team tried desperately
to clear the zone (move the puck
over the blue line, which they did
with seven seconds remaining), the
crowd began to count down the
seconds left. Sportscaster
Al Michaels,
who was calling the game on
ABC
along with former
Montreal Canadiens
goalie
Ken Dryden,
picked up on the countdown in his
broadcast, and delivered his famous
call:
...Eleven seconds, you've got ten
seconds, the countdown going on
right now!
Morrow,
up to
Silk...five
seconds left in the game...Do
you believe in miracles?
YES!!!
This victory was voted the greatest
sports moment of the twentieth
century by
Sports Illustrated
It was February 22, 1980 I was in church -
I was in front of the TV broadcast of the USA vs
Russia I was one with God - although I can assure
you I didn't appreciate that at the moment. As I
watched that game I witnessed Intention with Feeling
Manifest Into what appeared to be a miracle. I
witnessed a team that had no chance on earth win a
game against stunned seasoned professionals. There
was only one way that team won that game: they
reached inside themselves and understood it was
possible to win that game. Their expression went
from each individual to their team to their fans, to
their extended world which in this case was the
entire world.
Remember the
cold war now think about the headlines - they simply
showed Jim Craig the goalie for the USA with an
American Flag skating with huge headlines USA Wins.
At the time it rallied a down nation, a hockey game
reminded America of what we stand for. A hockey game
showed the world the orgasmic excitement of freedom
and democracy and the universe took notice. Not long
thereafter the Berlin wall came down and while there
are factions of dissent there is a wondrous
connectivity of all of us accelerating.
Did a hockey game cause all of this? The USA team had no
chance of winning the game by any measurement. Yet
they did. Today the story runs on HBO and is titled
miracle. Was it a miracle? The same energy that
powered the entire team to place the puck of the
winning goal in front of team captain Mike Eruzione
to score the winning goal and propel a nation to
project the enormous energy of democracy is in all
of us. That energy is in all of us and we have no
limitations.
This belief
system is developed with research and faith - not in
the outcome - but that you will be on the path that
you should be to discover your own miracle.
Are you ready for Path 7? Faith
Hold On Tight
While the format of each session is
the same, the content is never the same. What we are
finding as we progress is our spiritual energy is
building. We are also discovering the reality of
life that even in a relatively small group that
appears to be very diverse, there is a strong sense
of oneness. You are invited to work with us in
person or in spirit. It is never to late to join one
of our meetings. They are held every Thursday
evening at 7PM. I am sure our host will love it if
you show up. For more information
Click Here to Send Us An
Email and we will give you the
details.
As a reminder for everyone, the more
work you do, the more you will benefit. Having said
that we have one member in our group who is taking
the effortless route. She is teaching us that all
things are possible as her energy is building with
all of us effortlessly. As you know, each person
individually should review this website, the books
for Spirit Expressing, and workbook for this
series in advance of each week's session.
Greeting and Meditative Prayer- a meditative prayer
is shared with the purpose of focusing the
participants on the topics for the session. If you
are following this program in spirit on line, we
recommend you begin each session of your work, like
we do with a meditative prayer. Meditation is
designed to strengthen our connection to God. We are
petitioning the Divine Guidance in ourselves to
strengthen the pipeline to our connection with
God.
Review of This Session's Agenda: (We
have yet to follow this agenda. Rather we follow the
Spirit among us. In doing so we achieve what we came
together to experience. It is all perfect, otherwise
it would be different. We know this session and the
one that remains will be no different. We know the
person that leaves will not be the same as the
person who enters. We also know that while we have a
theme to explore, the message we are meant to take
away from our gathering will be given to us when we
least expect it.)

The Path 7 Poem:
The Mystic of the week is Hafiz
(1320-1389)
Hafiz is the most beloved poet of the
Persians and is considered to be one of history's
greatest lyrical geniuses. Though he is still
little-known in the Western world, many notables
including Emerson, Goethe and the composer Brahms
were deeply affected by him. Emerson once remarked
that "Hafiz is poet for poets" and Goethe wrote that
"Hafiz has no peer" The range of Hafiz's work is
astounding, striking a chord of recognition in
people from every stratum of mind.
"The Sun Never
Says"
Even after all
this time
the Sun never says
to the earth
"You Owe Me"
Look what happens
with a love like that-
it lights the whole world
- Hafiz
Path 7 Exercise:
Ponder this poem for a day
- every day for the week. Note what it means to you
and note your thoughts. Those meeting in a group
will share what they are moved to share about those
thoughts.
Mystical Path 7: Soaring In Truth
Chakra
Seven:
Thought, Universal identity, oriented to
self-knowledge
This is the crown chakra that relates to
consciousness as pure awareness. It is our
connection to the greater world beyond, to a
timeless, spaceless place of all-knowing. When
developed, this chakra brings us knowledge, wisdom,
understanding, spiritual connection, and bliss.
