You have reached the home page of me, Dr. Michael Sharp. I am a spiritual author and my mission in life is to help you awaken, empower, and reconnect with the divinity that now lies repressed and dormant within you. My contribution to this wondrous and glorious shift now occurring in you, and on this planet, is The Lightning Path [TM].
The Lightning Path is a powerful system of awakening, empowerment, and ascension. It consists of books, parables, lesson groups, and a growing community of people, interested in authentic spirituality and ready to help you make the shift from the drab, gray, dying world of “normal” to an empowered world filled with the light of our shared collective divinity.
The Lightning Path raises the bar and sets the new standard for authentic, transformative spirituality. This isn’t the promise of “future reward,” the imposition of cosmic “lessons,” or justification of personal and global suffering. This is awakening and transformation right here, right now. Get started on your journey back to awareness and power today.
To get started simply register on this site. Upon registration you will get an email with links to a set of email lessons (one per week for about eight weeks) introducing you to The Lightning Path, and initiating your spiritual journey. Be sure to whitelist Michael@avatarpublication.com (vCard) in your email program (instructions). NOTE registration is currently closed while we revise the navigation and presentation of course content..

I used to think that appearances didn't count, but it's not true. Appearances do count, but not in the way you think. Appearances don't reflect what's inside us, that's true, but they do reflect other things. They reflect how we want to see ourselves, and they reflect how we want others to see us. A lot of energy goes into the creation of these "facades" but it is energy that is, if you to awaken and empower in spiritual terms, wasted, wasted, wasted.
Many, perhaps most, gurus and mystical experts will tell you that in order to advance you have to subdue, even kill, your ego. Presumably this is because your ego interfers with enlightenment and your higher self. Honestly, that's a bunch of bull cocky. Saying that you have to destroy your ego sets up an internal dynamic of confict where you yourself become the enemy of your own enlightenment. It's just not true. So, rather than seeing your bodily ego as antagonistic to spiritual advance, this poem identifies your ego as a reflection of your higher self. The goal here isn't to eliminate that reflection, but to polish the mirror and purify the vessel in order to allow the light of your higher self to shine clearly through. In essence, I AM/WE ARE is a love poem sent from your higher self to your bodily ego. We are one!
What is enlightenment? That's easy. Enlightenment is unfolding the divinity within. The only questions are, what is divinity, and how do you unfold that? The only way you're going to figure that out., grasshopper, is if you commit some time, and set some intent.
I've been painfully slogging through the last book of the LP Intermediate (LPI) level book that I need to complete before I put the "completed" stamp on the LPI level of study, and that is The Book of the Triumph of Spirit Master Key. The completion of that book will mark a watershed in the development of The Lightning Path. Can't wait to be done with it because writing the book has been difficult, and painful, in more ways than one.
