Geistiger Weg – Pfad
Brennen für den Geist
Die amerikanische Lichtarbeiterin Rhea Powers seufzte einst:
Mit dem Erscheinen ihres ersten Buchs Aufruf an die Lichtarbeiter (1989) verbreitete sich zugleich der Begriff "Lichtarbeit" in Deutschland. Später stieß Powers auf Die dunkle Seite des Mondes. Mit der Rückseite des Mondes, die Erdenbürger normalerweise nicht zu sehen bekommen, ist das Unbekannte, die Dunkelheit, gemeint.
Die amerikanische Heilerin, mediale Aurasichtige, Lehrerin und weiße Medizinfrau Rosalyn Bruyere bot jahrzehnte-
lang ihr so genanntes Crucible-Training in Deutschland an. Der englische Begriff Crucible bezeichnet einen Schmelz-
tiegel. Wer sich auf eine moderne Mysterienschule – hier eine Heiler- und Seelenentwicklungsausbildung – einlässt, wird entdecken, dass sich die Umstände beizeiten wenden können. Wenn Holzscheite unter der Hitze des Feuers auf- und zerbrechen, gelangen die Flammen an Stellen, die bislang weniger im Fokus des Transformationsprozesses standen.

Ein Schmelztiegel ist ein Tiegel, in dem Substanzen – meist unedle Metalle – gemischt und unter Hitzeeinwirkung geschmolzen werden.
Um aus einer Tonne Erz wenige Gramm Gold zu läutern, bedarf es einer Serie von Umwandlungen, der alchemistisch Einwirkung.
Um aus schwarzer Kohle einen durchsichtigen geschliffenen Diamanten herzustellen, bedarf es
1. starker Hitze,
2. eines enormen Drucks,
3. die beide unter günstigen Bedingungen über einen langen Zeitraum aufrechterhalten werden.
Die jesuanischen Verheißungen hinsichtlich der Diamantstufe lauten:
Und siehe ich mache ALLES NEU.
Es wird ein neuer Himmel und eine neue Erde sein.
Solange der innere Ruf nicht laut und drängend geworden ist, ist der geistige Weg eine Pflichtübung.
Der ernsthafte geistige Weg ist eine Wagnis-Kür, die in der zweiten Geburt des neuen Menschen mündet.
- ☛ Die erste Phase ist ein paradiesisches Schlaraffenland, die Lichtarbeit,
- ☛ Die zweite Phase ist die Vertreibung aus dem Paradies, sobald die Wehen einsetzen.
- ☛ Die dritte Phase (die Dunkelarbeit) – im Geburtskanal – ist ein Tod-Lebens-Kampf.
Hier wird der Druck und die Hitze spürbar, die für die Diamanterzeugung erforderlich sind.
- ☛ Die vierte Phase – das Durchtrennen der Nabelschnur – ist der Beginn eines
neuen quasi-eigenständigen Lebens.
Beachte: Die Phasen 2 und 3 sind hart und haarig, schwierig und schmerzhaft.

Wer bereit ist zu brennen, lässt sich von Seelenverwandten entfachen und inspirieren.
Wer lichterloh brennt, setzt die ihn umgebende Welt in Brand.

Quotes by D. Hawkins
Path in the forest
- The personal will dissolves into Divine Will, and the spark that leads to the spiritual search and inquiry is a divine gift.
The readiness to initiate the journey cannot be forced nor can people be faulted if it has not occurred in them as yet. The level of conscious-
ness has to have advanced to the stage where such an intention would be meaningful and attractive.
The Eye of the I From Which Nothing is Hidden, chapter 9, S. 133, 2001
- Question: Where does one begin the search for spiritual truth self-realization called enlightenment?
Answer: It is simple. Begin with who and what you are. All truth
is found within. Use verified teachings as a guide.
The Eye of the I From Which Nothing is Hidden, S. 175, 2001
- In the Reality of nonduality, there is neither privilege nor gain nor loss nor rank. Just like a cork in the sea, each spirit rises or falls in the sea of consciousness to its own level by virtue of its own choices, and not by any external force or favor. Some are attracted by the light and some seek the darkness, but it all occurs of its own nature by virtue of divine freedom and equality.
The Eye of the I From Which Nothing is Hidden, S. 262, 2001
- The facts that are to be unreservedly accepted are simple and very powerful. Surrendering to them brings enormous spiritual advancement. […]

There is no timetable or prescribed route to God. Although
each person's route is unique, the terrain to be covered is relatively common to all. The
work is to surmount and
transcend the common human fai-
lings that are inherent in the structure of the
human ego. One would like to think that they are personal how-
ever,
the ego itself is not personal. It was inherited along with becoming a human being. Details differ based
on past karma.
I. Reality and Subjectivity, S. 108, 2003; Dissolving the Ego, Realizing the Self. Contemplations from the Teachings of David R. Hawkins, M.D., Ph.D., edited by Scott Jeffrey, chapter 1, S. 31, quote 2, Hay House, August 2011
- The ego puts up resistances and it struggles for survival. Therefore, when its proclivities arise, they should be viewed as a sign of success and not of failure. Instead of dismay, the surfacing of the ego's resistances should be taken as a sign of accomplishment. The inner search that characterizes the spiritual pathway is capitulation of the evolution of
the ego from prehistoric times up to the present, but this time there is the gift of freedom to choose differently.
I. Reality and Subjectivity, S. 183-184, 2003
- While the world may have the expectation that the life of a spiritually committed person should be holy and tranquil, quite often the opposite may occur.
I. Reality and Subjectivity, S. 337, 2003
- A valuable characteristic of dedication is felicity, which eventually becomes empowered as a quiet but persistent inner fervor. The value of watchful witnessing is that even just awareness of an ego defect tends to undo it. By surrender and prayerful invocation, Divine Will facilitates transition from the lesser to the greater for the Self effortlessly supports and energizes intention. The Self is like a magnetic attraction by which the personal will is progressively surrendered and resistance is weakened. Thus, the pathway itself is self-fulfilling, gratifying, and reveals progressive rewards. Each
step, no matter how seemingly small, is equally valuable.
Transcending the Levels of Consciousness. The Stairway to Enlightenment, S. 36, 2006
- The seeming obstacles along the path consist of two components:
- a seemingly attractive pay-off or pleasure, and
- fear of its presumptive alternative (i.e. lack of pleasure).
- It is necessary to have faith in a pathway and clear away doubts to ascertain if they are realistic or merely forms of resistance. A seeker should have the security and support of inner certainty and firm conviction that are consequent to study, personal research, and investigation. Thus, a pathway should be intrinsically reconfirming by discovery and inner experience. A true pathway unfolds, is self-revelatory, and is subject to reconfirmation experientially. As spiri-
tual awareness advances, the flow of spiritual energy increases and enables transcending prior, seemingly insurmoun-
table, obstacles. Discovery of the Presence of God. Devotional Nonduality, S. 204, 2007
- It is necessary that you develop respect for spiritual endeavor. Straight and narrow is the path, waste no time and effort. Precision is discipline that is in-
nate to serious commitment. Some students may yet be in a period of exploration, but once one gets the 'fire in the belly', the urge to reach God becomes a driven-
ness or relentless drive, or even, in the eyes of the world, a 'madness'. From that point on, there is no patience for amusement or diversion. It depends on decision, will and the level of consciousness, and karmic propensities. As it gets more in-
tense, the love for God and of God allows no delay. Discovery of the Presence of God. Devotional Nonduality, headline "Spiritual Economy", S. 153, 2007
- Like anyone else in society, the mind of the aspirant has also unwittingly been programmed. This often escapes no-
tice unless highlighted by a Teacher. Many students adhere to a stereotype of what 'being spiritual' implies.
Thus, there are often political/social/intellectual stereotyped beliefs that need to be investigated as naive programs.
Discovery of the Presence of God. Devotional Nonduality, S. 200, 2007
- Straight and narrow is the path, for without inner discipline, the spiritual energy becomes dissipated in diverse attrac-
tions. Profound silence is more influential and beneficial than an avalanche of redundant words and actions
that emanate from the spiritual ego and its platitudinous rationalizations. Spiritual rhetoric [LoC 180] is still just rhetoric and represents spiritual sophistry [LoC 180]. Discovery of the Presence of God. Devotional Nonduality, S. 200, 2007
- Traditionally, the pathways to God have been through the heart (love, devotion, selfless service, surrender, worship, and adoration) or through the mind (Advaita, or the pathway of nonduality). Each way may seem more comfortable at one stage or another, or they alternate in emphasis.
Whether you take the pathway of the heart or the mind, it is a hindrance to consider that there is a personal self
or an "I" or an ego that is doing the striving or seeking or which will become enlightened. It is much easier to realize there is no such thing as the ego or an "I" identity that is doing any seeking; instead, it is an impersonal as-
pect of consciousness that is doing the exploring and seeking. Along the Path to Enlightenment. 365 Reflections from
David R. Hawkins, edited by Scott Jeffrey, Reflection of February 23th, January 2011
Paved Roman road in Pompeii, Italy
- Paradoxically, benefit is derived by the self-interest of the ego when it begins to realize that there is a great advantage to unselfishness. When it learns of the benefit of letting go of egocentric goals, the ego itself then be-
comes the springboard to spiritual inquiry and the means to its own trans-
cendence, realizing that humility is strength and not weakness, and that it is wisdom and not ignorance. The willingness to "forgive and forget" calibrates at 450 (reason/logic). The willingness to "forgive and surrender to God" ca-
librates at 540 (unconditional love). Dissolving the Ego, Realizing the Self. Con-
templations from the Teachings of David R. Hawkins, M.D., Ph.D., edited by Scott Jeffrey, chapter 1, S. 34, quote 1, Hay House, August 2011
- Spiritual evolution is the willingness to give up games and seeming wins for a greater goal which is the evolution of your own consciousness. […] to give up selfishness because what is the ego except selfishness in all its desires. Untitled audio interview, presented by the suspended US American web radio station "Beyond the Ordinary", hosts Nancy Lorenz and Elena Young, 60 minutes duration, aired 10. February 2004
- Naivete is different than ignorance and that's different from innocence and they are all different than denial. What passes as spirituality is often denial. A posturing ignorance, an assumed innocence (which innocence itself does
not need to assume) just like humility does not need to assume the position of pseudo-humility. The goody-goody
side of spirituality is available everywhere. The goody-goody side of spirituality has a big trap to it, otherwise, every-
body would be enlightened. If it were easy to skyrocket to 1000 we'd already be there. We'd all be off this planet.
[...] So part of being spiritual is starting to become integrous. It requires honesty and strength. Part of the spiritual [path] is the spiritual warrior who stands up and defends the truth.
Sedona Seminar Karma and the Afterlife, 3 DVD set, October 2002
At age 12 boy Hawkins – nearly dead in the snowdrift – melted in the infinite exquisitely soft power of the presence of God as love.
- [Paraphrased] Question (man): I feel I am going backwards on the spiritual path.
Answer: Every time you go through another layer you think you just went back. No, it's progress!
Sedona Satsang Q&A Golden Word Book Signing hour, 3 CD set, 13. January 2007
- You let go of anything non-loving in your life. It's really the fastest way to God, to let go of that which is unGodly.
Long Beach, California, Seminar The Clear Pathway to Enlightenment, 3 DVD set, 8. March 2008
- [Paraphrased] Question: How come that my intensity of focus on the spiritual path comes and goes?
Answer: That is normal. You go into very high states and then states in which nothing seems to be happening for years. And then you can suddenly go into a very high state again. It doesn't follow a reasonable, rational course. Like the weather, you know what I mean? There is no way to turn it into a rational expectation. The fluctuation depends on
many things – karma and otherwise.
God speaks to all of us all the time. It's a matter of learning how to listen. You walk through the woods and you hear the birds singing. If you are naïve you don't realize it is God singing to you through the bird. Everything is Divinity. Nothing else exists. Therefore, you don't have to worry about finding God. Cottonwood Satsang Q&A, 2 CD set, 12. March 2011

Einsicht
- Der Weg ist nicht das Ziel, der Weg existiert lediglich als Konzept im Bewusstsein des Suchenden. Kein Weg führt zum Ziel, die Totalität ist weglos. Gott ist kein Ziel, sondern genau das, was wir sind.

sophisch-spiritueller Autor, Einfügen und Realisation, präsentiert von der deutschen Zeitschrift Lichtfokus, 25. November 2005
- Da kommen denn viele Leute und erdenken sich mancherlei Wege, um zu diesem Ziel zu gelangen: die einen wollen ein Jahr lang von Wasser und Brot leben, die anderen eine Wallfahrt machen, bald dies, bald das. Ich nenne Dir den einfachsten und kürzesten Weg: Geh in deinen Grund und prüfe, was Dich am meisten hindert, Dich am meisten von der Er-
reichung des Zieles zurück hält; darauf richte deinen Blick. Diesen Stein wirf in des Rheines Grund. Wenn nicht, lauf bis zum Ende der Welt, und tu alles mögliche, es hilft Dir nichts. Das Messer, das das Fleisch vom Knochen trennt, heißt Sterben des eigenen Willens und Begehrens. Viele Leute töten die Natur und lassen die Gebrechen leben: da-

Quotes by various other sources
Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction,
and those who enter by it are many. For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to
life, and those who find it are few. Matthew 7, 13-14 (NT)
Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction,
and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only
a few find it. Matthew 7, 13-14 (NT)
Recommendations
- Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail. Ralph Waldo Emerson [LoC 485, work LoC 475] (1803-1882) US American philosopher, Unitarian, lecturer, poet, essayist, essay Self-Reliance, 1841, 2nd edition 1847
Appeals
Rotenfels
- You cannot travel the path until you have become the path itself. Helena Petrovna Blavatsky (1831-1891) Russian-German occultist, spiritualist medium, 32° co-Freemason, cofounder of the Theosophical Society, 1875, author, translations from mystical Eastern works Book
of the Golden Precepts, "The Voice of the Silence, And Other Chosen Fragments", published in 1889
- Forget this world, forget this course, and come with wholly empty hands unto your God. Is it not He Who knows the way
to you? You need not know the way to Him. Your part is simply to allow all obstacles that you have interposed between
the Son and God the Father to be quietly removed forever. God will do His part in joyful and immediate response. Ask
and receive. But do not make demands, nor point the road to God by which He should appear to you. The way
to reach Him is merely to let Him be. For in that way is your reality proclaimed as well.
⚡ A Course in Miracles, workbook [LoC 600], lesson189, paragraph 7, 1976, revised 1996
Conclusions
- As you start to walk out on the way, the way appears.
- It's your road, and yours alone. Others may walk it with you, but no one can walk it for you.
- You enter the forest at the darkest point, where there is no path.
Where there is a way or path, it is someone else's path.
You are not on your own path.
If you follow someone else's way, you are not going to realize your potential.

- As a single footstep will not make a path on the earth, so a single thought will not make a pathway in the mind. To make a deep physical path, we walk again and again. To make a deep mental path, we must think over and over the kind of thoughts we wish to dominate our lives. Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862) US American historian, philosopher, leading transcendentalist, naturalist, abolitionist, surveyor, tax resister, development critic, poet, author, cited in: Goodreads Quotable Quote
- The spiritual journey does not consist in arriving at a new des-
tination where a person gains what he did not have, or beco-
mes what he is not. It consists in the dissipation of one's own ignorance concerning one's self and life, and the gradual growth of that understanding which begins the spiritual awa-
kening. The finding of God is a coming to one's self.
⚡ Aldous Huxley [LoC 485, work LoC 425] (1894-1963) English US American humanist, pacifist, visionary poet, essayist, writer on para-
psychology and philosophical mysticism, cited in: AZ Quotes
- When Jesus said, "I am the way," He meant that to have a true relationship with God, you must practice His way. In the Acts of the Apostles, the early Christians always spoke of their faith as "the Way." To me, "I am the way" is a better statement than "I know the way." The way is not an asphalt road. But we must distinguish between the "I" spoken by Jesus and the "I" that people usually think of. The "I" in His statement is life itself, His life, which is the way. If you do not really look at His life, you cannot see the way. If you only satisfy yourself with praising a name, even the name of Jesus, it is not practicing the life of Jesus. We must practice living deeply, loving, and acting with charity if we wish to truly honor Jesus. The way is Jesus Himself and not just some idea of Him. A true teaching is not static. It is not mere words but the reality of life. Many who have neither the way nor the life try to impose on others what they believe to be the way. But these are only words that have no connection with real life or a real way. When we understand and practice deeply the life and teachings of Buddha or the life and teachings of Jesus, we penetrate the
door and enter the abode of the living Buddha and the living Christ, and life eternal presents itself to us.

Literary quotes
- Anything is one million paths. Therefore, a warrior must always keep in mind that a path is only a path; if he feels that he should not follow it, he must not stay with it under any conditions. His decision to keep on that path or to leave it must be free of fear or ambition. He must look at every path closely and deliberately. There is a question that a warrior has to ask, mandatorily: Does this path have a heart? ⚡ Carlos Castaneda [LoC 220] (1925-1998) Peruvian US American anthropologist, diplomat, author; major character in the series of books on Nagual 'Sorcery' Don Juan Matus, The Power of Silence.

Prayer
- In beauty may I walk.
All day long may I walk.
Through the returning seasons may I walk.
On the trail marked with pollen may I walk.
With grasshoppers about my feet may I walk.
With dew about my feet may I walk.
With beauty may I walk.
With beauty before me, may I walk.
With beauty behind me, may I walk.
With beauty above me, may I walk.
With beauty below me, may I walk.
With beauty all around me, may I walk.
In old age wandering on a trail of beauty, lively, may I walk.
In old age wandering on a trail of beauty, living again, may I walk.
It is finished in beauty.
It is finished in beauty.
