The states I was experiencing had been reported by others; I began investigating spiritual teachings – including those of the Buddha, Huang Po, and other enlightened sages; and more recent teachers such as Ramana Maharshi and Nisargadatta Maharaj – and thus confirmed that these experiences weren't unique. Suddenly, the Bhagavad Gita [LoC 910] made complete sense; eventually I experienced the same spiritual ecstasy reported by Sri Ramakrishna and the Christian saints. Power vs. Force, preface, S. 13-14, Hay House edition, February 2002

At the high 500s, the world one sees is illuminated by the exquisite beauty and perfection of creation. Everything happens effortlessly and by synchronicity. A Presence is felt whose power facilitates phenomena outside conventional expectations of reality, termed miraculous by the ordinary observer. Power vs. Force, chapter IV, S. 91

As was cited in the research done in Power versus Force,
- one single avatar at a consciousness level of 1,000 totally counterbalances the collective negativity of all mankind.
- An individual at level 700 counterbalances the negativity of 70 million individuals below the level of 200.
- One individual at 600 counterbalances ten million people below 200;
- one at 500 counterbalances 750,000 below 200.
- One individual at consciousness level 300 counterbalances the negativity of 90,000 individuals below 200.

Eye of the I, chapter 3 The Nature of the Quest, S. 67, Veritas issue

In gratitude for the gift of life, one dedicates that life back as a gift to God through selfless service to His creation as all of life. With this dedication, one validates the sacredness of all life and treats it with respect. When we stop to assist a helpless beetle with a twig so it can turn over off its back and resume life, the entire universe knows it and responds. To acknowledge and support the value of all life supports one’s own, which is part of that life. Eye of the I, chapter 16, S. 237

By intention, man symbolically sanctifies and commits both self and others, as well as places of worship. Because of intention, all styles of blessing and prayer calibrate over 500, and their collective effort can immeasurably impact the overall level of collective human consciousness. Truth vs. Falsehood, chapter 17 Spiritual Truth, S. 397

Another form of the dark night of the soul arises as a consequence of experientially falling from a high state (such as devotional joy or ecstasy) as has been well described in the lives of the Christian saints (as though one has been abandoned by the Beloved). This may arise because one has used up their good karma, subsequent to which the remainder of karmic attachments and proclivities surface to be processed out and surrendered to God. Some of these are deep, such as self-hatred, resentments of God, and cherished beliefs that are often attached to beliefs about suffering itself. (e.g. that it will leverage God’s favor). Transcending Levels of Consciousness, chapter 1, S. 37 (39)

We sanctify that which we do by the dedication of our life, to be conscious that all one’s actions are in the presence of God and that every action affects all of mankind. So, your life is no longer trivial. The fact that you are out on a river fishing, as you look over and you appreciate the beauty of that river and the surroundings, your appreciation of that beauty is radiating out and lifting all of mankind. So, even if you sit in the rowboat, thinking that you’re doing nothing, your acknowledgement of the beauty of creation itself is an act of sanctifying all of life and affirming its value and increasing its value. And that’s how the consciousness level of mankind evolves because those who are more conscious tend to lift all of mankind. We said that the top of the levels of consciousness are numerically small but their power outweighs all the rest of the population. One person who dedicates himself to life and sees the sacredness of all of life and thereby sanctifies all of life as they go about the day is lifting the consciousness of thousands of other people. Somewhere in Biafra, some little kid is lying there, slowly dying of starvation and AIDS and out of its hopelessness and grief and apathy, somewhere there is a little spark of hope and death is OK. Where does that come from? It came from the fisherman sitting there, appreciating the beauty. You see, because the context of life is nonlinear; so, in the infinite quantum potentiality, every intention on your part alters the context for everyone. Every hair on your head is counted, every moment of your life contributes this way or it pulls it down this way. Sedona Seminar God Transcendent and Immanent, DVD 2 of 3, minute 37:57+, November 2002

When you transcend your karma, then you have the capacity to handle more. More negativity comes up for you to clear. Famous women mystics would reach a high state and then crash. They would feel they had been deserted by God. Read about them in the Encyclopedia Britannica. You can read what they went though. There are about half a dozen. It’s par for the course! You feel like you are going backwards, but you are not. You have earned the right to see how awful you have been. Sedona Seminar Is the Miraculous Real?, 3 DVD set, 9. December 2006

The classical developmental stages of the mystic are:
1. Purgation of bodily desires (LoC below 200)
2. Purification of the will (sliding personal LoC)
3. Illumination of the mind (LoC 500+)
4. Unitive state – unification with the Divine (LoC 580)
5. Self dissolves in Self (LoC 600+)
6. Final "state" or "condition" (LoC 600+)
7. The Sage (LoC 700+)

In diesem Lobpreis erschien meiner Seele ein großes Licht, und in dem Lichte zeigte sich Gott in großer Herrlichkeit und in unaussprechlicher Klarheit. Da hielt unser Herr zwei goldene Kelche in seinen Händen, die waren beide voll lebendigen Weines. In der linken Hand war der rote Wein der Pein und in der rechten Hand der weiße Wein des überhehren Trostes. Da sprach unser Herr: »Selig sind, die diesen roten Wein trinken; denn obwohl ich beide aus göttlicher Liebe schenke, so ist doch der weiße Wein edler in sich selbst. Und alleredelst sind jene, die beide trinken, den weißen und den roten.« Mechthild von Magdeburg [BW 640] (1207-1282) bedeutende deutsche Mystikerin des Mittelalters, Mitglied der Beginen, Visionärin, Schriftstellerin, Das fließende Licht der Gottheit, Buch II, 7., ausgewählt von Sigmund Simon, Oesterheld & Co Verlag, Berlin 1907

Devotional avowals to God

I am a little pencil in the hand of a writing God who is sending a love letter to the world. Mother Teresa of Calcutta] [LoC 710] (1910-1997) Albanian-born Indian Catholic nun, saint, missionary, humanitarian, founder of the Order of the Missionaries of Charity, Nobel Prize for Peace laureate, 1979

As I thus praised, a great light appeared to my soul, and in this light God revealed himself in great majesty and indescribable brightness. Our Lord held two golden chalices in his hands that were both full of living wine. In his left hand was the red wine of suffering, and in his right hand the white wine of sublime consolation. Then our Lord spoke: "Blessed are those who drink this red wine. Although I give both out of divine love, the white wine is nobler in itself; but noblest of all are those who drink both the white and the red." Mechthild of Magdeburg [LoC 640] (1207-1282) German medieval mystic, member of the Béguines, visionary, writer, The Flowing Light of the Godhead, translated and introduced by Frank Tobin, book II, 7., pg. 77, Paulist Press, New York and Mahwah, NJ 1998

O God [...] from that moment you entrusted a very important mission to your son. A mission known to you and me alone. [...] O God [...] I hear a voice deep within me saying: 'Sanctify yourself and sanctify others.' Padre Pio [Pio of Pietrelcina] [LoC 585] (1887-1968) Italian Capuchin priest, miracle healer, Catholic saint, Epistolario, III, pg. 1010

Make me a channel of Your peace. St. Francis of Assisi [LoC 580] (1181/82-1226) Italian Catholic friar, preacher, founder of the Franciscan Order

O daughter, let God make you a mirror of life. But I too lie in the pusillanimity of my mind, fatigued much by fear, sounding a little, at times, like the small sound of a trumpet from the living light. Whence God help me, that I may remain in his ministry. Saint Hildegard of Bingen ['Sybil of the Rhine'] (1098-1179) German Christian mystic, Benedictine abbess, visionary, writer, composer, philosopher, polymath, Epistolae, Letter 125, addressed to Elisabeth of Schoenau

There is nothing my holiness cannot do because the power of God lies in it. A Course in Miracles, workbook [LoC 600], lesson 38

I say that religion isn't about believing things. It's ethical alchemy. It's about behaving in a way that changes you, that gives you intimations of holiness and sacredness. Karen Armstrong (*1944) British former Roman Catholic nun, author of twelve books on comparative religion, commentator, author of Through the Narrow Gate, first edition 1995, Griffin, 21. März 2008, expert of comparative religion, on Powells.com, Charter for Compassion, about her seven years in the convent, and The Spiral Staircase about her spiritual awakening, when she developed her iconoclastic take on the major monotheistic religions, presented by TED TALK, filmed February 2008

Trees are sanctuaries. Whoever knows how to speak to them, whoever knows how to listen to them, can learn the truth. They do not preach learning and precepts, they preach undeterred by particulars, the ancient law of life. Hermann Hesse (1877-1962) German-born Swiss novelist, poet
