The Great Awakening - Awaken, Empower, Ascend

The Lightning Path^TM (LP) aims to be a sophisticated and comprehensive system of spiritual education. The goal here is not necessarily to replace your current belief system (although the LP does function as a complete and powerful spiritual system at least equivalent in depth and scope to any of the world's major belief systems) but to give you the power and wisdom to be able to discern the wheat from the chaff within your own religion or spirituality. The Lightning Path is about capital "T" Truth no matter where you might find that.

Piecing together a comprehensive system of spiritual enlightenment is, as you can imagine, no easy task. The effort here moves beyond a paper back or two (or even twelve) and broaches spiritual, political, social, economic, and psychological topics. The goal here is to provide you with the core spiritual Truths and then help you take those truths and apply them to the world at large.

Because of the scope of this work, I have chosen to break up the Lightning Path into its distinctive components. The site that you are currently surfing (http://www.michaelsharp.org) is the main LP site. On this site you will find all the basic and advanced spiritual information you need, from books and articles to definitions and additional resources. The best way to approach this site is as if you were entering an online university or classroom. The information is organized from basic to advanced (i.e. core, intermediate, advanced, and mentor level) with key definitions, resources, and even online discussion forums for the various information and resources.

In addition to this site there are several other key LP websites. These websites are all public websites and available to everyone. However the "student guide," i.e. the information that links the information to LP concepts and allows you to move more quickly through the process of awakening and empowerment, is available only to subscribers of this site (and for the price of a cup of coffee or two a month). Considering the thousands of hours of my time and effort that is represented by this system, the energetic exchange seems exceedingly fair.
