As the New Age dawns, will management change? Especially organizational management (so called “human resources”). This sector of management concerns how people are treated. Since studies show that the 2nd leading cause of stress (after loss of a spouse) is how one is treated by one’s immediate supervisor, and the New Age is supposed to be stress free – something has to give – change, shift. The pre-New Age or old style of management is termed Theory X. The New Age style of Management is called Theory Y, following Dr. Douglas McGregor’s introduction of these terms and their theory in his classic 1960 book The Human Side of Enterprise

https://tinyurl.com/McGregorHuman  (available least expensively at https://www.bookfinder.com/)

The contrasting or juxtaposed Theory X and Theory Y management systems have received a great deal of attention in management circles and academia since McGregor introduced them. Every informed management professor in the world knows about these, and this theory is the foundation of most if not all organizational management academic courses in America.

Theory X – often termed “top down,” “command and control,” and “authoritarian”

Theory Y – often termed “bottom up,” and “egalitarian”

The following addresses the question: Why does Theory X Management work sometimes? which is answered: “Is it really working in the big picture?”

* * * *

I do not associate Theory Y with fewer rules or less compliance or strong central leadership at all. Y and X are not polar opposites. I see Theory Y as far stronger, the stronger of the 2. Theory X is based on weakness – inner weakness. It is kali yug leadership. It will appear on the surface to be stronger. Usually in doing wrong things like the Chinese CCP and their attempt to take over a large portion of the world, including our country, using financial and economic methods (any careful look at the properties and businesses Chinese owns in the US will make this clear). It is so much that Iowa has passed laws prohibiting more Chinese purchases of larger properties and companies.

When employees are treated as emotional, psychological and spiritual equals, and feedback is routinely solicited (Theory Y), employees and middle managers are more likely to follow rules, because they have more trust, respect, and loyalty to leadership. The closer to Theory Y, the more rules can exist and the stronger they can be, because there is TRUST.

For Trust, a very good book is The Speed of Trust, by Stephen E. R. Covey, the son of Steven Covey, who wrote 7 Habits of Successful people. Its 2 basic points: Trust is based on only two key factors:

1. Competence
2. Integrity

One will be trusted to the extent one has both those qualities.

I know there are examples of companies that use Theory Y and have been successful, and defended by management experts. I don’t buy it, because they are full of people who are fine with being treated poorly and feel OK in a dysfunctional organization.

Organizations do NOT exist just to make money. That attitude is the problem (that profit organizations exist only to make money). They ALSO exist to do it in a way that is evolutionary and strengthening, not just ‘having a job’ and waiting for the next instruction and paycheck. That is success in kali yuga, but not in truth, and not in the new age that is dawning now, which is why Next Gen, to a great extent, does not want to work for large companies. They are keenly sensitive to Theory X authoritarian leadership, and don’t like it. They don’t want to work for anyone. So they work for themselves, or with one or a few other people.

Whenever Theory Y is applied, about 1/3 of the people leave, because they are not psychologically and emotionally ready – both upper staff and rank and file.

Just as AI is shifting the whole scientific and tech paradigm before our eyes, the whole organizational management paradigm is shifting before our eyes. 

The Theory X and China’s CCP style etc is how things have been, have been, have been. For millennia. It is not what is to be. For millennia. The New Age, the Age of Aquarius, Heaven on Earth, is coming in. Heaven on Earth means no significant problems for anyone anywhere.
4 major new Age steps or stages on our planet so far:

1. The ancient Bronze Age Harappa Civilization (Indus Valley Civilization – 3,400 BC – 1,800 BC) appears to have free of significant violence and problems for several thousand years
2. Alice Bailey (1880-1949) –  the 2nd to use the term New Age, and the 1st to use it widely, prominently and memorably.
3. The Cultural Revolution of 1965-75 – the New Age announced itself widely to world culture
4. 2025 – the New Age started to directly unfold, as Maharishi forecast (along with over 50 other intuitives, in the Heaven on Earth on my website.

https://brahm.us/the-heaven-on-earth-hypothesis-with-supporting-evidence/
Anything Theory X can do, Theory Y can do better, IF Theory Y is done well. It takes higher emotional intelligence, maturity and competence.

It takes less inner psychological and emotional strength (subservience) to work for and be part of a Theory X organization.

The CCP is also NOT China, not all there is to China. A large % of Chinese do not like that political party one bit. 25 years ago, there were 800 protests in a single year, which were kept out of the US papers. not likely they are any fewer now. The main related differences between China and the US are a) The Chinese have used vastly less military violence than the US outside their borders, instead using economic war more than military war (for the most part), and b) the Chinese rulers are not as secret as those who rule the US.

So the problem is not ‘China’ per se, but the CCP, just as the US problem is not America per se, not the people of America, but the several hundred people managing the US and its closer allies.

However, it is true in one sense that Theory X can be better sometimes – because we are not fully transitioned yet to the Age of Enlightenment. There are stages into the New Age. We cannot jump from X to Y suddenly (in theory we could, but it would be too traumatic and destructive). So theory X has its place, we have to put up with it. Gradually, or less gradually, or not so gradually, Theory Y will continue to replace Theory X. Next Gen is replacing it right now. But that does not require praising Theory X and saying it is ‘needed.’ We need to leave it, not need it.

Wilson’s interest in paranormal phenomena stemmed from his broader philosophy of consciousness. He believed that modern humans operate far below their true potential, trapped in what he called a “robotic” state of awareness. Paranormal experiences—such as telepathy, precognition, psychokinesis, and mystical visions—were not supernatural oddities, but glimpses of expanded consciousness. In this way, Wilson approached the paranormal as a philosopher rather than a mystic. He asked not whether these experiences exist, but what they reveal about human nature.

His most influential work in this field is The Occult (1971), an ambitious study that remains one of the most accessible overviews of paranormal thought ever written. In it, Wilson examines figures like Gurdjieff, Rudolf Steiner, Aleister Crowley, and Madame Blavatsky, along with scientists, psychologists, and mystics. What distinguishes the book is Wilson’s refusal to accept easy answers—either skeptical dismissal or blind belief. He treats paranormal phenomena as data points suggesting that consciousness is much more flexible and powerful than mainstream science typically allows.

Wilson followed this with several other explorations, including Mysteries, Poltergeist!, Psychic Detectives, and Beyond the Occult. Through these works, he investigates real-life case studies: hauntings, spontaneous psychic events, prophetic dreams, and altered states triggered by crisis or strong emotion. Still, he always connects these accounts to psychology, especially the ideas of thinkers like Abraham Maslow. Wilson viewed paranormal states as linked to “peak experiences,” moments when perception sharpens and the mind temporarily goes beyond its usual limits.

One of Wilson’s most intriguing ideas is that fear and negativity often skew paranormal experiences. He frequently interpreted poltergeist activity as unconscious psychokinesis driven by emotional tension rather than external spirits. This psychological approach allowed him to take extraordinary claims seriously while still using rational analysis. For readers cautious of sensationalism, this balance is part of Wilson’s lasting appeal.

Critics have at times accused Wilson of being too lenient toward questionable evidence. He was not a laboratory scientist and relied heavily on anecdotal reports. However, Wilson never claimed to provide final proof. His aim was exploratory: to keep open questions that he believed modern culture had prematurely closed. In doing so, he established a middle ground between rigid materialism and uncritical mysticism.

Today, Colin Wilson’s writings on the paranormal continue to attract readers who are curious yet cautious—people who sense there is “something more” to human experience but want that intuition examined thoughtfully. His work invites us to view the paranormal not as an escape from reason, but as a challenge to expand it. In Wilson’s view, the unexplained becomes not a dead end, but a gateway to a richer understanding of consciousness itself.

The Occult is a classic exploration of paranormal thought, blending philosophy, psychology, and case studies into a compelling whole. Rather than sensationalism, Wilson offers an intelligent, open-minded inquiry into hidden human abilities, expanded states of consciousness, and the figures who shaped occult and mystical thinking.

Mysteries is an engaging survey of the unexplained, from psychic phenomena and prophetic dreams to strange coincidences and altered states. Wilson’s strength lies in his calm, rational tone: he treats extraordinary experiences seriously while grounding them in psychology, making the book both accessible and thought-provoking.

In Beyond the Occult Wilson deepens his investigation, moving past cataloguing phenomena to ask what they mean for human evolution and consciousness. Thoughtful and reflective, the book presents the paranormal as evidence of untapped mental potential, offering readers a hopeful, intellectually satisfying perspective on the unknown.

The idea of reincarnation, that our consciousness continues after death and is reborn into a new physical body, has deep roots in many cultures and spiritual traditions. In today’s world, where scientific evidence is highly valued, people often wonder: Are past lives real? The answer is still debated, but interesting research and testimonies suggest reincarnation might be more than just a belief.

One of the most famous sources of evidence comes from Dr. Ian Stevenson, a psychiatrist at the University of Virginia. He studied thousands of children who said they remembered previous lives. These children often recalled names, places, and details that they should not have known. In many cases, their accounts were later confirmed through historical records. Some children even had birthmarks or physical traits that matched injuries or scars from the lives they claimed to have lived before.

There are also many reports of people having sudden, vivid memories during hypnosis or past-life regression therapy. Critics argue that these experiences may come from suggestion or imagination, but others believe the emotional intensity and specific details point to something more. Near-death experiences and spontaneous déjà vu moments can also suggest memories that go beyond our current lifetime.

What was My Past Life?

How can you explore the possibility of your own past lives?

Begin by noticing recurring patterns. Are you drawn to a particular culture or time period? Do you have talents that seem natural without formal training? Strong phobias, dreams, or unexplained attractions might echo a past existence. Meditation, journaling, or working with a trained regression therapist can help you uncover hidden memories.

Whether you view this through a spiritual or psychological lens, exploring the idea of past lives can be an effective tool for self-understanding. Even if the mystery remains unsolved, the journey of self-discovery may be just as valuable as the answer itself.

Ready to discover who you really are? Your past life holds the answers to the mysteries of your present.

Compared to Palestine, Abundant evidence strongly suggests that Jesus spent most of life in England, India-Tibet, and Kashmir, as well as traveling back and forth between these locations.Here are the 3 Best YouTube playlists on Jesus in England when he was a boy, In India and Tibet during the “Missing Years,” and in Kashmir after surviving the crucifixion.There are hundreds of videos and dozens of playlists on YouTube concerning these 3 topics. Three reason these are the best playlists of these topics:

a) They are the longest playlists, with the most different videos

b) The many duplicate videos are not included.

c) There are half a dozen long documentaries, and many shorter separate clips of these long documentaries have been posted on YouTube. All the shorter incomplete clips from those full length documentaries are not included, and only the full length documentaries or videos are included.

The videos, like most Brahmeshwaram YouTube playlists, are in order of video length EXCEPT for videos in a series, which are together, ordered by their number in that series.

So the integrity and quality of these playlists are higher, having been more carefully compiled.

The videos by Muslims about Jesus surviving the crucifixion are endless, so only a very large number are included – not all. But those not included mostly repeat the same information and views,

Please note there is significant hard evidence, not just stories and legends, of Jesus in all 3 places (England, India- Tibet, and Kashmir after surviving the crucifixion. These do not constitute ‘proof,’ substantial evidence.

Please note the mainstream Christian Bible has been massively added to, redacted and changed over the centuries. It is not a consistently reliable source of knowledge or information and truth, although much of it is true. But much of it is not true, and was added to support political, military, and other purposes.

The information in these playlists is at least as credible and accurate as what is written in the conventional mainstream Christian Bible, despite non-scientific religious beliefs otherwise.

Half a dozen or more books have been written regarding Jesus’ travels to England, India-Tibet, and Kashmir. These books are mentioned or discussed in some of these videos, and one can find some of them via internet searches. Some you will probably not be able to find without seeing the videos in these playlists.

Of particular importance is the famous and fundamental book by Russian journalist Nicolas Notovich (who was letter inaccurately defamed by individuals and groups attempting to prevent or weaken what he discovered):

The great importance of Joseph of Arimathea in the life of Jesus comes out in these videos. His importance in prominence in Palestine and his key role in Jesus’s trips to England, India, and Kashmir has been removed from the conventional Bible.

These 3 playlists on the travels of Jesus do not directly include the many videos focused primarily on the knowledge of Jesus’ teachings and statements that have been hidden. There are many other books and videos on the knowledge aspect of Jesus that has not come widely to light. But within these videos, basic knowledge points do shine their light:

A primary point one learns is that Jesus did not come to ‘save’ us, and did not want himself seen as a savior. Rather, he wanted to be seen as a friend and equal, an example, to show what we all can be and do. It was the apostle Paul who played the main role in changing Jesus’ teaching into a savior religion, despite the positive values of much of what Paul also said.

The 3 Playlists on the Journeys of Jesus:

Jesus in England When He Was a Young Boy –

Jesus in Kashmir After Surviving the Crucifixion:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gVqNN0TnF5M&list=PL8wULuehjWgPv1ggPHDJSpMnEB6tshaNP

There are also a few videos on YouTube about the legend that Jesus spent time in a small village in Japan, which still has an annual festival to celebrate his time there. However, I have concluded that this legend is probably about a disciple of Jesus, rather than Jesus, unless Jesus lived in 2 places at the same time, because there are many years of overlap between his time in India, Palestine, and Kashmir, on the one hand, and his time supposedly in Japan. The evidence of his being in Japan is far less in amount and credibility than the evidence of his times in England, India/Tibet, and Kashmir, so I did not include the several YouTube videos on this Japan topic in this document.

There are also claims that Jesus visited many other locations, such as North America, and was a perfected Siddha and could go anywhere he wanted without normal transportation. I have not researched these claims, so they are not included.

Importantly, there is significant evidence that Jesus wrote a book while in Kashmir after surviving the crucifixion, which was later completed or greatly added to by his son. The story is amazing and harrowing. It appears that only the first third of this book has survived, and the latter 2/3 has been destroyed. It is possible to read this book supposedly written by Jesus. The information is available in the following document (this book is called The Talmud of Jmmanuel)).

not that adults are better than children in all ways, but there is such a thing as growing up – without losing the positive aspects of childlike innocence, wonder, and enthusiasm.

Do you think any being other than God/Source cannot make mistakes? Do you think Jesus made mistakes? Do you think (fill in the blanks) made or makes mistakes? Regardless of their fame? Regardless of their love? Regardless of their position? Regardless of their apparent state of consciousness? Regardless of their net worth? Regardless of their power and popularity? Regardless of how you feel about them?

Anyone who thinks that the founder or leader of their religion or political party or organization did not or does not make mistakes could be considered a spiritual child, not a spiritual adult. They may be adults in many other ways, but not yet grown into spiritual adulthood. Children think their parents do not make mistakes, but even adolescents know otherwise.

The older most of us get, the more we have different views from them, and the more we love them. This is called individuation – developing into a grown individual.

The question, Did or does So-And-So make mistakes is a yes or no question. I don’t see much if any wiggle room in this question.

‘The worst mistake anyone can ever make is to think that I don’t make mistakes.’ – Maharishi Mahesh Yogi

I may be asking this question in order to develop spiritual adulthood and help myself leave the age of religion and over-dependency myself.

Today, these few months, these few years, is another stage of the ending of religion. Already, those polled by the Pew Poll who say their ‘religious denomination is “none’ increase, and those who identify with a denomination decrease.

and also the end of saviours.

Countless planets have ascended. Before they ascended, they had their saviors and religions also, just like us, and after ascension, they did not have their saviours and religions. Ascension replaces religion with spirituality. There are also countless planets that have not yet ascended, who still have their religions and saviors.

This is respecting religions, not about criticizing them. But every structure is a stage of growth.

‘Do not worship me. I am not a savior, I have not come to save you. I am here as an example, and a teacher.’ – Isha (Jesus), according to documents in the Hemus Monastery of Tibet, where Jesus stayed for years.

Maharishi also said (in the late 1970s, at length), that all religions will leave in a short period of time “soon,” calling it the “Great Leap.” It will start with the newest religions, and end with the oldest, and this would happen rather quickly. Religions take a long time to develop, but retire in a relatively short period.

Spirituality is now replacing religion.

Prayer is being replaced by intention, affirmation, desire, sanyama (Siddhi technique). If you ask a Being to do something, are you asking as a child, that you are weak and can they please do it for you, or are you asking them as their supervisor, or are you asking them as your equal friend?

Do not bow down to anyone unless they bow down to you.

Respect and Love – Yes. Worship – No. Although there is certainly wiggle room and overlap between worship and respect.

This is the end of “followers.”

Obedience? Yes, if it is to the recognized leader of an organization, government, etc.

Do you have to obey? No, you have free will, but remember there could be (legitimate) consequences if you do not obey your official leader or supervisor in an organization or governmental or organizational laws or rule.

The end of many organizations has begun, especially large organizations.

The new leader will know, feel, and live their equality with others. Real leaders lead leaders, and help develop many leaders, who think for themselves, not just follow a party line. This creates sustainability of an organization. Sustainability is based on change, or the balance of change and stasis. But the change of transition before us is on another level, another order of sustainability, It is cosmic, galactic. .

In the first two articles of this series, we gained an awareness of our Invisible Self – our Consciousness – and its omnipresence, in order to become more aware of who we really are and where we really are. This gave us clarity about what’s consistently here in the midst of all sensory appearances. Now we’ll explore how Joel Goldsmith’s mystical teachings and the wisdom of Ho’oponopono can help us live continuously from a place of inner harmony and deep-seated peace.

Heather: Let’s recap on what we’ve covered so far in our previous sessions:

• Firstly, we gained an awareness of our invisible Inner Self, our Life Force
• Then we established the realization of the omnipresence of our own Consciousness – I alone Am 
• We began adopting the practice of witnessing rather than reacting throughout the day, letting whatever arises come and then dissolve, moment by moment
• Now we’re going to take this a step further by learning how to be a continuous center of peace

I had an interesting discussion recently. Someone shared with me that they had really benefited from being able to ask questions about Joel Goldsmith and the Infinite Way on Chat GPT. They said it had helped them enormously when they were faced with a challenging situation with someone else in their life. Now, I too am utterly in awe of Artificial Intelligence, in much the same way as we were all in awe of the internet when it first became available  – how was it even possible that something of this magnitude could exist?! It was amazing. But, I was very clear to point out during my conversation that Joel Goldsmith emphasised over and over that the Infinite Way is an experience – it’s not something that can be understood intellectually. Right at the very start of his book Consciousness Unfolding, Joel wrote: 

‘To experience God unfolding as individual consciousness is the purpose of The Infinite Way. It is a revelation within your own being of your own being, an experience which takes place within you’.

If we can cognize something via the intellect or our senses, that’s not it because the senses don’t present to us that which is real. What’s real is the Soul and that’s where true peace lies.

Last time, we touched on the awareness that those who appear to be ‘other’ in our experience are in fact our own Consciousness in expression. There is no ‘other’; there’s only the one Mind, the one Life Force. This can be more easily understood, and perhaps also more readily embraced, when it comes to those we feel in harmony with, but can we live from this truth in our wider world?

To do that, here are a few ways we can practise incorporating conscious awareness into our daily life:

• Disciplining yourself to become more fully present moment by moment establishes inner peace. You’re not so easily swayed by appearances because you’re watching, rather than reacting. Peace within then becomes harmony without. As we become more conscious of our thoughts and emotions, we realise we don’t have to believe them and we can question whether they’re really true
• Embrace the practice of being inwardly empty (and by that I mean consciously seeing through the eyes of your invisible Soul). Maybe just for short intervals at first, but with persistence, this gradually becomes easier and you’re able to stay there for longer periods
• We can examine thoughts that draw us into the belief of a concrete personality by questioning, ‘Who am “I”?’ We can also examine the illusion of ‘doing’ rather than ‘being’. Very often the mind resists the idea of non-doing, but really the egoic mind – thoughts –  just wants something to ‘do’. So we can discipline ourselves instead to keep focused within and this then stills racing thoughts
• Realising why we chose peace with another: because there’s only One Mind – our own Self, this vast field of Awareness, which is in fact an omnipresent aliveness of invisible activity beyond the veil of concepts and appearances. Resting in the conscious awareness of this enables us to be a transparency for Peace to flow through and express as our close relationships, our community, our nation and our whole world.

Yanni: Throughout this course, we’ve introduced the experience of the state of ‘Zero Mind’ which, in  Ho’oponopono, is the conduit of Peace. Ho’oponopono actually means ‘to correct the errors within’ and it shows us how we can let go of attachments and reactions to negative thoughts about situations, people and places accumulated over eons of time. It was Dr Hew Len who gave to the world the updated version of Ho’oponopono. If you remember, through his own inner work based on the teachings, he managed to heal an entire ward of mentally ill criminals by addressing the feelings and reactions that came up for him whilst reading their case notes, taking 100% responsibility for the collective conditioning and healing those emotions within himself by using the four word mantra: ‘I am sorry, please forgive me, thank you, I love you’.

The aim of Ho’oponopono is chiefly to clear the mind, thereby establishing inner peace, balance within ourselves and good relationships with others. In this way, we return back to a ‘Zero’ state of mind by listening within, so that we can be inspired with the right solution for whatever problem we’re wanting to resolve. If you’re experiencing difficulty in remaining in a place of inner peace, as Heather’s just mentioned, I invite you to examine for yourself the power of addressing those thoughts and reactions by applying the Ho’oponopono mantra and then watching the results.

Heather: We mentioned one of the spiritual Wisdoms in Joel’s book, The Infinite Way in our first session: “Consciousness Lives Itself; You do not live it”. Understanding all that we’ve shared here together over this course – gaining an awareness of our true self, witnessing and examining thoughts as they arise and our reactions – we can now let Spirit, Perfect Peace, function as us. 

We’d like to conclude by encouraging you to persist with your practice of mastering these disciplines. As Yanni’s just said, rather than simply reading this article, see the results for yourself by adopting the practice of pausing at intervals throughout the day to become aware of thoughts and emotions as they’re arising; using Ho’oponopono to bring you back to Zero State if thoughts are overpowering; and simply witnessing from a place of Inner Stillness. Practiced on a daily basis, you will find this radically changes your life.

Heather: We discussed in our first session the important distinction that we are spiritual, not physical, beings, and we shared an exercise that enabled us to become more consciously aware of our true identity. Today, we’re going to explore how Joel Goldsmith’s mystical teachings and the wisdom of Ho’oponopono can help us navigate the world we experience through our senses.

Barbara Muhl, one of Joel Goldsmith’s early Infinite Way teachers, found that her students were having difficulty “seeing through” the appearances presented by the senses to the spiritual truth that was really there. This led her to write a book, “The Royal Road To Reality” in which she explained that thoughts are a collective phenomenon – they’re not our own. We don’t create thoughts and they don’t belong to us. We simply witness them appearing and become hypnotized into believing them. In Truth, we are Spirit, changeless and eternal. We’re not a physical body and we’re not the sum total of a human life experience.

Yanni: Thoughts, feelings and emotions have nothing to do with what You are… they are arisings out of the collective field of consciousness. You are the witness of them, but you are not them. Our practice is to let the harmony of Mind become apparent by perceiving clearly and resting in the very Presence that we are.

Heather: Barbara Muhl explained that the carnal mind (or “collective consciousness”) is so ingrained, we take onboard beliefs unconsciously until we learn to discipline ourselves to become fully present as the Observer – as Yanni’s just said, the Witness of all that’s arising in our field of Awareness.

Thoughts are magnetic and attract circumstances of a similar vibration. For this reason, we often mirror and reinforce each other’s beliefs (or “scripts” as Muhl called them). Muhl explained that Joel was teaching how to take our power back by consciously disengaging from thoughts and judgements about appearances. This, in turn, enables us to remain as the Observer, thus revealing the purity and perfection that’s always there as the underlying substance.

Yanni: Dr Hew Len shared a similar approach in his transformative work based on Ho’oponopono. Dr Len was a trained psychologist. He always stated that attempting to work one on one with people when endeavouring to resolve their problems was never effective. He first discovered Ho’oponopono when his mother took him to Mornah Simeona’s (an early pioneer of the Hawaiian teachings) seminars. His passion for this method eventually guided him to the Hawaii state hospital, where he was commissioned to work on the patients in a mental health, criminally ill, insane ward. He never actually saw any of his clients in person. Instead, using the notes given, he worked in private on his own reactions, mentally asking for their repentance, forgiveness and love. He also spoke to their subconscious whilst they were asleep. The purpose of this was to allow the healing process to take place without any conscious rejection that might have occurred if he’d seen them face to face. Whatever emotion came up within him regarding these cases, he embraced fully and viewed these shared memories of people and situations as an opportunity to let go. He understood that doing so released the error from the person in whichever area of life they’d been experiencing.

Within three years of this inner work, patients (who’d previously been shackled and violent in the ward and to the staff) were making cookies and playing tennis. His work was so successful that eventually the ward was closed and all the patients released.

Heather: Dr Len understood that our outer experience is a reflection of our inner thought patterns. In essence, just as Muhl described, we have shared collective memories through our perceptions and senses that have been created, accepted and accumulated. Our thoughts are memories that have been replaying in the subconscious over eons of time, from this life and past lives.

Yanni: We have 11 million memories replaying per second and are conscious of only 50,000 thoughts a day, so we don’t really have any idea what will arise into consciousness. What we do have is the choice to take 100% responsibility to mitigate these collective memories through repentance, forgiveness, love and gratitude for showing up, thereby transmuting and releasing blocks that bind and attach us to the past:

“I am sorry for whatever we have done. Please forgive me for the memories that we have manifested. Thank you for giving me one more chance to make amends. I love you”. Thus we release and cut the akashic cords.

When we forgive, we release the burden within the inner child of our subconscious mind to connect with the mother aspect, or ‘Divine Mind’, within. This takes us back to ‘Zero State’, transmuting the situation and allowing the right inspiration to appear. In this way, we are forgiving everything: the land, buildings, places, animal kingdom, mineral, vegetable kingdoms, etc of stuck vibrations.

Heather: Let’s address a question that’s been asked: “Can I reach a place of forgiveness by rising above thoughts I might be having about someone?”

Yanni:  Yes, absolutely, by taking 100% responsibility for the thoughts within us.

Heather: Joel referred to this as the principle of “Impersonalization” – the understanding that all thoughts are appearances and impersonal. They’re not “our” thoughts. We didn’t create any of them. Our perception of another is based on shared memories (which Joel refers to as the “carnal mind”).

When we’re expressing love and forgiveness for any thought that arises, that’s the first step in becoming conscious conduits for Divine Mind, the very mind that constitutes our Being. The next step is to surrender and rest in the conscious awareness of That. This is what Joel means by “letting go”, and thus it’s the Light of our Consciousness that appears to transmute the problem. By seeing through the lense of Mind, we perceive the non-reality of any sensory dissonance and it dissolves.

Joel often cited the example of Hitler. Despite his own inner work, he felt unable to forgive Hitler. But he came to the realisation that he humanly wasn’t required to do the forgiving. His role was to be a conscious avenue for Divine Forgiveness to flow through. In Absolute Truth, there are no personalities – there’s only One: Spirit, and therefore nothing and no-one to forgive, just the presence of Love. The key is to live in conscious awareness of that inner radiance.

Yanni: Let’s mention here our Oneness. When a problem is released from us, it’s released from all of us because we’re all one. We’re no longer in a place of reacting because we know we’re only ever experiencing our own Omnipresence. There is no “other”. Ho,oponopono means to correct an error in me, the subconscious mind, so it all begins with me. Peace, healing and abundance do not come from the outside, they come from within – within my own Consciousness. Therefore, we focus on our Soul and rest consciously in that Presence, the Essence of what we are, which is the peace we’ve been seeking all along.

Day One: Clarity In The Midst Of Storm

~ Understanding the spiritual truth of what’s really here… and what isn’t ~

To say that everything I experience through my senses has no Absolute Reality seems at first a most surreal and unbelievable statement. Yet, all the mystics claim it to be so. ‘A Course In Miracles’, Herb Fitch, Joel Goldsmith, Ramana Maharshi to name but a few all encourage us to look deeply into the experience of humanhood to determine whether the world we perceive around us is actually there. Those who’ve been ardently invested in using spiritual teachings to create a more fulfilling and meaningful existence may baulk at the idea of putting aside affirmations, mental visualisations, mantras and breathwork to simply rest in the awareness of Consciousness. “What about manifesting my dream life?” you might ask, or “Keeping up with everyone else?”. “What’ll happen if I simply ‘let go’?”

This course isn’t designed to encourage you to do that without first deeply examining who the ‘i’ that I claim I am actually is. And then, by de facto, who all the ‘others’ are, and what actually constitutes our daily existence. To do that, we take the first step of understanding the reality of Being and from there grasp the conscious awareness of that Presence. In Truth, Consciousness is all that’s here; it’s all I ever experience – Consciousness… the Life Force… the Light of my Soul – and we’ll be exploring in a while a practical exercise to do just that.

But before we do, I invite you to pause in your reading and join me for a very brief meditation. One minute is enough. As we’ll see in another article, time is an illusion, so when you pause, please know Yanni and I are right here with you, meditating as well. When you close your eyes, simply become aware of your Inner Silence. For those who are new to meditation, being still can often feel slightly uncomfortable at first because we’re not used to being fully present, watching thoughts arise rather than engaging with them. In which case, I would invite you just to be still in any way that has meaning for you. You might like to contemplate a word such as ‘peace’, ‘love’, ‘stillness’… or simply ‘listen’ within to the ‘hum’ of your Inner Vibration. Ok, let’s be still… Thank you.

We’ve said that Mind (Consciousness) is all that’s really here. The space of awareness where thoughts, sounds, colours etc arise and then dissolve, all by themselves. Our invisible Life Force – the infinite and eternal substance of our Being – is all we witness. And that’s quite a statement, isn’t it, when we seem to experience a whole myriad of things separate and apart from us? However, if all I ever experience is my own Consciousness, then there’s never anything or anyone external to Me. In the collection of spiritual ‘Wisdoms’ in Joel Goldsmith’s book, ‘The Infinite Way’, he writes: ‘Consciousness lives Itself; you do not live it’.  This is reminding us that our Mind, our field of Consciousness – this Inner Invisible Presence – is the substance and law of our entire experience. However, we perceive this pure state of Being through the lens of the senses and thereby overlay Reality with a patina of beliefs. We see thoughts out pictured. But there is no ‘me’ and my ‘body’ – no ‘me’ and my ‘world’. It’s all Me, my Consciousness… I am the substance of all of it. It’s exactly the same as being the substance of every character in my dreams. If you’ve ever dreamt lucidly, you’ll know that you can witness a dream and at the same time be consciously aware that you’re not actually in it. Spiritual Awareness gives us the same clarity of discernment.

That takes us to the next revelation: the understanding that my Spiritual Essence is also your spiritual Essence; we are one and the same Spiritual Identity. We are created of the same substance – Spirit, Life Force. If the word ‘Consciousness’ doesn’t resonate with you, replace it with a word that does. But remember, our limited human mind can’t conceptualise Consciousness, which was why Joel Goldsmith preferred to use the term ‘Infinite Invisible’ when he was referring to Spirit. Either way, our focus is on that which looks out through my eyes, and this is the same self/Spirit that looks through yours. 

At the moment, this may seem all rather theoretical, even if we can grasp the ideas and words intellectually. So I’m going to conclude by suggesting an exercise that’ll help us perceive what it is that exists behind my eyes. Gaining an awareness of our Self is the first step to examining how to navigate the world of thoughts appearing as forms on a daily basis. Yanni will be sharing some powerful and very simple exercises from the Ho’oponopono clearing method taught by Dr Hew Len which we can adopt to experience positive change after we’ve mastered this conscious Awareness. The Ancient Hawaiians believed everything in the sensory world manifested from thought and so whatever shows up as a problem for example (and that could be spirituality, mentally, physically, materially, financially or karmically) is simply arising from accumulated collective beliefs, words and actions. Becoming consciously aware of the “scripts” we project and are thus mirrored back to us in the field of Awareness enables us to reframe the way we engage with the mind’s content. Instead we learn to refocus on the Divine Mind within, thereby allowing perfect Peace and perfect Well Being to be reflected as our experience.

But more about that on Day Two…

For now, let’s explore how to be living witnesses of our own Inner Presence. How do we do that? Joel Goldsmith suggested meditation as one way, and he wrote a whole book on ‘The Art Of Meditation’. I would encourage you to also consider another approach by looking at your reflection in a mirror and then, rather than focusing on the image presented to you, turning your focus within and becoming aware of who, or what, it is that’s looking out through your eyes. You’ll come to see that who you really are is a vast expanse of Invisibleness. We can’t see (with our human eyes) what’s really there, we can only discern this Empty space where my head appears to be. You could also try this exercise when you’re outside in nature or in a large open space. It then becomes easier to perceive the One who’s looking, witnessing everything that’s arising in the moment. Everything our senses present to us is a mental image in thought. Totally transitory and substanceless and Yanni will take us deeper into that realization in our next discussion. Let our practice over the next month will be: every time you look in a mirror, or when you see your own reflection in water or a window, become aware of the one who’s looking out through our eyes at that image. You may like to journal your experience and what that brings up for you in preparation for Yanni’s discussion. Until then, let’s close with another brief meditation, placing our attention on the invisible Stillness and Silence Within that’s forever radiating Peace…Thank you

What is Numerology?

In its simplest form numerology manifests in the way many cultures, and individuals, consider certain numbers to be lucky or unlucky. For example:

• Four is considered unlucky by the Chinese, Japanese, and Korean because it sounds like the word for “death”.
• Seven is considered lucky by many cultures, but not the Chinese as it has connotations with the dead (eg the Festival of the Hungry Ghosts is in the Seventh Lunar Month).
• Eight is considered lucky by the Chinese and Japanese, because it sounds like the word for “prosper”.
• Thirteen is considered unlucky by most Western cultures, because Judas Iscariot, the disciple and betrayer of Jesus, was the thirteenth man at Jesus’ Last Supper. The belief is so strong that 13 is sometimes omitted as a house number or floor number in a building. However, thirteen is considered lucky in Italy. It is also considered lucky in China, because it sounds like the word for “sure life”.

Interestingly, these generalized meanings are culturally dependent. This suggests that rather than being intrinsic, the significance of numbers depends upon the context of consideration, and that this contextual significance has been created by eons of consistent association.

In addition to the significance of numbers in Eastern and Western culture, it is worth noting the Hebrew study of gematria. Gematria provides a system of encoding and finding hidden meanings in words and phrases by means of the numerical values of individual letters and has been applied to both the Bible and the Qabalah.

Numbers and the Individual

Numerology often focuses on the digits 1 to 9, with higher numbers being reduced by the summation of the constituent digits, eg 59 may be reduced to 5 thus: 5 + 9 = 14, 1 + 4 = 5. The two basic numerological indicators for an individual are calculated from their birth date and full birth name.

The birth date number, also known as the life path (or destiny) number, is calculated by adding the digits of the full date of birth, eg Feb 1st 1964 (2/1/1964) becomes 2 + 1 + 1 + 9 + 6 + 4 = 23 = 2 + 3 = 5.

The life path number indicates your purpose in this life, your reason for being here.

The number calculated from the full birth name is known as the expression number. A number is assigned to each letter of the birth name according to the following chart.

For example, John Walter Smith becomes:

   J   O   H   N   W   A   L   T   E   R   S   M   I   T   H
   1 + 6 + 8 + 5 + 5 + 1 + 3 + 2 + 5 + 9 + 1 + 4 + 9 + 2 + 8
   = 69 = 6 + 9 = 15 = 1 + 5 = 6

The expression number indicates what you are, and therefore suggests how best you may fulfill the purpose revealed by your life path number.

The Esoteric Significance of Numbers

The following summarizes the most common numerological associations for each number:

1: As a life path number, one signifies individuality and independence. As an expression number it suggests self-sufficiency and self-reliance. One is the first number used when counting and therefore it is considered to have great power. Because one signifies the beginning of an enterprise, it is very egocentric and prefers to be the center of attention. One can be happy, loving, romantic, dynamic and charismatic, but on the downside it can be egotistical, selfish and melodramatic.

2: As a life path number, two signifies peace, harmony and mediation. As an expression number it suggests diplomacy and an aptitude for teamwork. Two relates to partnerships and interaction with others. Individual achievements are not realistic because accomplishments are best realized through co-operation and teamwork. One-to-one relationships are prominent because it symbolizes two people becoming close through intimate contact. Two is feminine, intuitive, and corresponds with our protective instincts. Negatively, two can be grasping and overprotective.

3: As a life path number, three signifies expression and creativity. As an expression number it suggests self-expression through words or the arts. Three relates to expansiveness and learning through life experiences. It is considered to be lucky, and is often associated with money and good fortune. Three generally depicts several people joining together to achieve a common goal, whether through a social or professional affiliation. Three also represents communication of all kinds, expression, drama, acting, and humor. Although three possesses attributes of wisdom, understanding and knowledge, negatively it can exhibit pessimism, foolhardiness and unnecessary risk taking.

4: As a life path number, four signifies practicality, patience and tenacity. As an expression number it suggests organization and hard work. The simplest solid object — a tetrahedron — has four sides; hence four denotes solid matter in general and the Earth in particular. The association with Earth means that four symbolizes being practical and “down-to-earth,” while the fact that four is the first composite number (a number that can be created from multiplying numbers other than itself and 1, ie 2 X 2 = 4.) is linked to the idea of an other-directed, “composite personality” that takes cues from different and often conflicting sources, leading to fiercely independent, “out-of-the-box” thinking.

5: As a life path number, five signifies love of freedom and adventure. As an expression number it suggests growth through change and different experiences. Five is a number which represents service to others. It is highly analytical and has the ability to think critically, but can over-ponder an issue to the point that its significance is no longer relevant. This number governs our ability to think clearly and our intellectual capacity. Five represents openness to new experiences as well as new ideas. Seeking freedom, it is often the adventurer. Five is about pushing life to its limits. It is a multifaceted number with links to our state of physical and mental health.

6: As a life path number it signifies responsibility, compassion and care for others. As an expression number it suggests supporting and caring for the most vulnerable. Six relates to tact, beauty and harmony. It is very much a relationship builder which corresponds to one-to-one encounters. It deals with that which we are attracted to and those things we find great pleasure in. Six possesses charm, grace and the ability to make small talk on any stratum, and is therefore much of a diplomat. Six is very nurturing, and is considered the mother/father number. Negatively, six can be unfaithful, jealous, bitter and vengeful. Six can also denote perfectionism, as it is the first “perfect” number (the sum of its divisors, other than itself, is equal to itself, ie 6 X 1 = 6 and 3 X 2 = 6, and 1 + 2 + 3 = 6).

7: As a life path number, seven signifies intellect and an introspective, analytical mind. As an expression number it suggests the need to think deeply and the desire for seclusion. Seven is considered to be a spiritual number because it is illusive and contains veils which must first be uncovered, one after another, before illumination will ultimately be found. Seven is said to be sacred, and this is evidenced by the fact that there are seven days in the week, ancient texts propose that the earth was formed in seven phases, the ancient solar system consisted of seven luminaries, and some versions of the kaballah have seven sephiroth. While seven possesses qualities of dreaminess, spirituality and psychic awareness, negatively it can be dubious, deceptive and insincere.

8: As a life path number, eight signifies material success, discipline and persistence. As an expression number it suggests business, managerial and financial aptitude. Eight is considered to be the number of karmic influences where we are called upon to pay debts incurred in this and previous lives. It represents hard work and lessons learned through experience, and can therefore be a difficult number for some because of the very restrictiveness of its nature. More than any other number, eight seeks money and material success. However, the hardships eight faces in pursuit of its rewards are extreme. Huge reversals in life are common for the eight.

9: As a life path number, nine signifies compassion, humanitarianism and impartiality. As an expression number it suggests idealism realized through the need to help others. Nine was considered to be a sacred number by the ancients and was consequently not assigned a numerical equivalent to any letter in the Chaldean alphabet. It represents change, invention and growth which springs forth from inspiration. Nine is the humanitarian.

0: Zero is a powerful number which brings great transformational change, sometimes occurring in a profound manner. It has much intensity, so caution is needed wherever it appears to ensure that extremes are not encountered.

Although reducible, the numbers 11, 22 and 33 are considered especially significant and are known as the master numbers.

Analysis

There is no doubt of the significance of numbers in our daily lives. We can hardly do anything without thinking, speaking or writing numerically in some way. But numbers in themselves are mere symbols. They represent something else. Like all symbolic systems numbers are like keys. They have little value in themselves except the ability to unlock certain doors and provide access to what lies within.

Numbers don’t cause people to have particular characters, or things to happen or not. Neither do people’s characters or the occurrence of events automatically associate themselves with certain quantities. Rather the more often than chance linkage of particular numbers with personal characteristics and physical happenings suggests some hidden connection between all things, termed synchronicity by Jung. A hidden connection that exists not in the physical realm, but in that which, for want of a better name, we call Spirit.

In order to make best use of the journey of life it is first necessary to know ourselves and our place within the order of things. That belief in numerology has persisted for so long and that it remains pervasive in so many cultures is testimony to its value. Thus, numerology should be one of those tools through which we seek self-knowledge.

Analyzing the numerical significance of our name and birth date yields invaluable food for reflection. Perhaps we will be amazed by its accuracy; perhaps we will delight in refuting its assertions (though others may disagree). Either way, to reflect upon its findings will take us further along our path.

Be guided by numerology along with other esoteric systems. But be a slave to none. Divinatory systems are like roadmaps, they may serve to show us a particular route but are ultimately subordinate to the supremacy of human free will. Be advised by the various esoteric tools such as numerology, but ultimately it is our own inner self that must decide.

Colors are one of the most beautiful and also one of the most under-appreciated aspects of the physical realm. We are surrounded by colors, but how often do we notice the numerous subtleties in the myriad shades.

Spiritually, color can impart both information – as in aura colors, and energy – as in healing. The aura is the spiritual energy field surrounding living beings which is “visible” to the psychically sensitive.

This short article presents the meanings generally associated with the most common colors. Use these meanings as a starting point in your own explorations. We are each unique individuals and colors may hold different meanings for us than for others, just as a piece of music inspires different feelings in different people.

Use colors to promote those qualities you wish to emphasize. Use them in your surroundings for qualities you wish to emphasize permanently. Wear clothes of appropriate colors to promote those qualities in a particular situation. You can also use colors simply by visualizing them, whether to promote their qualities or to exploit their healing energy for yourself or others.

Red

Red symbolizes energy, passion, strength, courage, physical activity, creativity, warmth, and security. It is also associated with aggression. In healing, use red to bring warmth and burn out disease. Red is a powerful color and should be used in moderation. In the aura red signifies materialism, materialistic ambition, a focus on sensual pleasures and a quick temper.

Orange

Orange symbolizes the individual’s relationship to the external world, the needs and wants of the physical body and the ways in which these are satisfied, the world of work. In healing orange may increase immunity and sexual energy. In the aura orange signifies thoughtfulness and creativity.

Yellow

Yellow symbolizes intellect, creativity, happiness and the power of persuasion. It is also associated with cowardice. In healing use yellow to promote clarity of thought. In the aura yellow signifies intellectual development, for either material or spiritual ends.

White

White is associated with truth, purity, cleansing, healing and protection. It is a good general healing color for the removal of pain and suffering. In the aura it signifies a high level of attainment, a higher level soul incarnate to help others.

Gold

Gold represents understanding and luck. Remember though that nothing comes from nothing, It is the most powerful healing color, but so powerful that many are not able to stand it initially and must be conditioned to it via other colors. In the aura it represents service to others.
