What is enlightenment?
What is enlightenment? The answer to the question is easy, but you’d never get that from the contortions that we, as a species, have gone through. Ten thousand years of inquiry, the brightest philosophical minds, and tons of fancy technology, but no generally acceptable answer seems anywhere in sight? Are we, as a species, doomed to spiritual confusion or can we finally settle on an answer, and a path, that we can all agree to. Only time will decide.

Podcast: Play in new window | Download (Duration: 56:27 — 51.7MB) | Embed In this dialog James and I talk about rapture, initiation, and some of the difficulties associated with the descent of consciousness into the body. We also speak a bit about the Book of Revelations, and also my Parable of the Room, which is a story about gradual, but inevitable, descent of consciousness into The Body, and the necessary ”shift” shifting that this brings. An interesting dialog that broaches Lightning Path Advanced level...

I’ve setup an affiliate area for Lightning Path course packages (and eventually books). You can view the area here http://www.thelightningpath.com/affiliate-area/ All you have to do is register and then put the banners in your email signatures, or blog pages, or whatever. The most successful affiliates will be the one who write about their experiences on the LP, write about the books, write about spirituality, in the context of promoting. I do intend on adding some video to the affiliate area there after a while. Let me know if you have...

An excellent discussion on Mathew Chapter 11. Includes a discussion of Christ, Christ consciousness, the “collective and daily” murder of Christ.
read moreHeart Chakra Blockage – Shaming
One of the best, and certainly the most ubiquitous, methods of closing heart chakra energies is by shaming. Shaming of course occurs every time someone with a connection to you makes you feel less than the beautiful, bright, powerful, intelligent, compassionate, loving being that you really are. Shaming is a pernicious and powerful energy suppressor. Finger wagging disapproval constricts heart energy flow and diminishes our sense of divinity primarily because it impacts how we see ourselves. My principle as above in consciousness, so below in...
read moreA Sociology of Tarot
I have just recently submitted an article entitled A Sociology of the Western Tarot for publication in a Sociology journal. The article takes an extended look at the origin and ideology of the Western Tarot, “pre-Halo/Sharp.” It is a scholarly take on discussions I’ve provided in The Book of the Triumph of Spirit and The Book of the Triumph of Spirit Master Key (both available as part of the LP Intermediate Study Package B). It covers the origin of the Italian tarot, its co-optation by priests, nobility, and Freemasons in...
read moreGospel of Mathew 10
In this dialog James and I begin taking on the bible “chapter by chapter.” We start with Mathew ten and in the weeks ahead will go through rest of Mathew, moving on to John and eventually the Nag Hamdi libraries. The parallels between LP teachings and Christian doctrine remain striking and the ability of the LP to shine a light on the gospels is once again highlighted.

Faith, faith, faith. What is faith? Is it blind belief in God, consciousness, or Jesus Christ, or is it something more. Looking at actual scripture and comments made Jesus in the gospel of Mathew, James and I talk about faith as faith in one’s own power, faith in own’s own glorious nature, and faith in the ultimate power of consciousness (otherwise known as God with a big “G”), to get the job done. In the course of our discussion we look at commitment to right action, right thought, and right environment, authentic change, the need for support, the water glass, and alignment. Once again the LP shows an almost one-to one correspondence with the spiritual teachings of Jesus Christ
read moreEnd times, ascension, and the birth of Christ
I’ve always thought the Lightning Path to be a bit critical of traditional “old energy” religion and spirituality. It certainly takes issue with the excuses, justifications, and distortion common in institutionalized religion. Because of this critical turn I have certainly never seen the Lightning Path as a road BACK to established tradition, but I guess that it is. In this dialog James and I talk about a number of things, but what stands out for me is that after his deep encounter with the Lightning Path he has actually found his way back to the core truths and teachings of Jesus Christ and the Christianity of his birth, family, and community. In other words the Lightning Path has strengthened his faith. Now if the same can be said of encounters with the Lightning Path and other traditions, like Hinduism, and Buddhism, then this might be the start of something very, very, big.
