The Principle of Essential Divinity
Returning to Spiritual Order

Trust inner visions, they are shortcuts through your reality... everything is synonymous with everything else on some level.

As the tensions of world systems collapse around us and rock our centers and for many, produce fissures in personal infrastructures, we alas come to a singular conclusion that “we are all in this together.” This hard struck reality is born from an intense shifting of priorities that links us to our collective origin, the Principle of Essential Divinity.

The Principle of Essential Divinity expresses itself through three primary concepts: unification, synthesis, and universality. When we as individuals or groups can identify with these three dynamics of spiritual awareness and move past intellectual conjecture and integrate their aspects as part of our living consciousness, we move into an active, creative life as a major step of personal and group initiation. This linking from our inner unit to that of the outer is the necessary coordinate of our times.

Life led from the Soul’s perspective through the personality is not so easy to accomplish. We must ever check the stance of our inner heart to make sure that our personal love is not centered in pure ego desire, but that our identification expands beyond our immediate circle and towards a group focus. Many fear that such a social outreach or reorientation has a political emphasis towards socialism or communism. This is an incorrect assumption as diversity in unity is something to preserve for it provides a rich variation of expression that is needed to enhance community life. It is healthy to learn and share in one another’s knowledge and wisdom.

Yet, in all the ways that we vie for diversity, we discover under the layers of resistance, a rigid mindset that is ignorant and whose heart is still selfish towards others. The reasons for our resistance to the flow of love in all manners of living may be many. Perhaps we don’t like others because they are different in politick, culture, race, religion, sexual orientation, stage consciousness or we just don’t care out of plain selfishness. We must banish our divisive orientations for they only lead us to disjointedness, confusion, fear and more pain when essentially all we want is to love and be loved. Any notion other than love and goodwill to self and life is counterintuitive to whom we are as a human family and as spiritual beings. Separatist mindsets whether towards self, family, others, animals, nature and spirit, do not see the divine weave of creation in all of life. This energy track moves against altruism, humanism and all functional expressions of transpersonal love and is one we want to correct.

This does not mean that personal love, sex and commitment are thrown out in lieu of a giant human free love orgy, but rather that personal love is not based solely on passion, but more as a friendship and like-mindedness, a soul kindred ship. When we can find an inner relatedness with one another and form heart to heart bonds we create bridges and we raise our vibrations.

Many on the Path who are seeking love seem to qualify potential partners by the amount of passion between them. While sexual attraction is important in healthy active adults, many emotionally sound, quality minded and heartfelt souls are dismissed due to particular expectations of feeling an immediate sexual fizzle with the other. Keep in mind that loving on the personal level is one of life’s greatest gifts and is an unfolding process. Such a process serves as a vehicle for a more transpersonal loving reality from self-partner-to others. In addition, certain bonds that are spiritual in nature may be instantly recognizable and require little effort, but equally there are other necessary and important bonds that are not immediately felt. Some may even require an out reaching to find a center of mutual understanding in order to form a loving bridge to the heart. Creating spiritual pathways is truly a commitment to daily work in progress.

If we as a whole fail to participate in the spirit of Essential Divinity and gradually dissolve these strictures into a more wholistic framework, the right use of will that is so vital to focus, misses the mark on universality. Dangers from misapplied use of will (thoughtforms) externalize as restraints and restrictions that we see in cultural norms and collective morality manufactured by the matrix of government systems.

The framework of this matrix is comprised of a polarity between “knower’s” and “non-knower’s.” This imbalanced system seeks to continually widen the gap through separative ideology all the while espousing peace and causing people to forget who they really are. The Law of Group Endeavor and the Principle of Unanimity at some point will hopefully resolve this particular opposition to peaceful endeavors, humanism and realization of Essential Divinity.

Humanity is on a crucial testing ground. We are to step out and up beyond our current framework and recapture our sense of personal will and personal creative dynamic and as such, take responsibility for its right use. The use of will is rightly applied when it is consciously united with the collective will of the group in its upliftment, otherwise the basic underlying conflict between material and spiritual values and between self-interest and world service is unable to be worked out and clearly manifested.

Once we are able to form bridges with others and our environment with care and cooperation we begin to properly learn how to temper the creative potential of self-interest into a harmonious vehicle focused on spiritual values for the collective will of the group.

Great planet Earth and her inhabitants are in a transitional phase of creative evolution. Synthesizing the inner self to the outer group is part of the fusion process necessary in forming the group Antahkarana or Rainbow Bridge that at later stages of integration encompasses a more wholistic realization of the One Life that dwells as a point of light within us all.
