Not wanting to come fully into body and engage in life is common among those on a spiritual path. Not wanting to come fully into our bodies is understandable as the timeframe we live in is a dense one and at times, it can be painful. The problem is that, unless we come fully into our bodies we are never able to come fully into our power. Our point of power is in the here and now. The here is the center or our body. If we are checked out and not fully in our bodies we may find difficulties in the living of life – lack, unfulfilling career and the inability to manifest our spiritual principals down into our daily lives.
We come into body for a reason. If you go deeper than the fear and resistance, to the urge for growth and healing, you will find the original reason why you CHOSE to come into body. You are then able to use this to motivate you to live your spirituality in your daily life – to have dominion, which is not the same thing as domination, in your outer world. Unfortunately, many people become distracted and stuck in all of the reasons why they don’t want to be here. They hide behind walls they have erected, and create activities to distract themselves. Others hide behind their addictions—all forms of escape that keeps them from really connecting with self.

Many people have never really engaged fully in life. Their wounding has created fears about being intimate with life, intimate with other people, intimate with self. As the old saying goes, 'don't throw out the baby with the bath water'. In other words, instead of running away from something because it is painful, turn around and engage fully in it. Use it for what it is meant to be used for - your healing and growth. As you acknowledge your reluctance to come into body and engage in life, you can then begin to shift your focus, focusing not on the not wanting to be here, but your deeper desire of why you chose to come here – your purpose for coming into body. Then you can truly begin to focus on what you need to do to fulfill your life purpose.
Always recall your intent. If your intent is to heal and grow, then do what you need to do to heal and grow. We can use the different circumstances in our lives as a place to work on our healing and growth. The goal is not the actual life situation, but the goal is to heal and grow while using these opportunities.
Each and every morning set your intent on your healing and growth. Make this your number one priority in life. Engage in life. Be intimate with life. Break down your walls and boundaries you use to keep you isolated from life and the people around you. This is your purpose for being here. This is Spirit's desire for you - to be in your body and engage fully and intimately with life, and with other humans so that Spirit can flow through you into the world. Spirit cannot flow through you if you wall yourself off from life and the people in it. For Spirit to flow through you, the spiritual being that you are must be connected by being fully in your body. To be the powerful being you are meant to be you must be in your point of power – the here and now – in your body each and every moment.
Love and Light,
Kris

| Dear Guides,
I would like to know if the person I am with, Douglas Walker, is the person for me. My gut feeling is no he isn't and I don't think it will work out after all but, am I going to fast? Should I wait longer or just tell him to go?
-Angela
Hello Angela,
Clearly you know this person is not for you. At this point, the question to be asking yourself is why would you continue to stay with someone you know is not suited to you? What beliefs or agreements do you hold that define ending a relationship “too quickly” if it is not suited to you?
We always know what we need to do but out of fear, we hesitate or avoid doing what we need to do. Angela, you may wish to ask yourself what it is that you are really afraid of. Are you ready to take the next step in your life and to work past your hesitation?
We often say and think that we want a healthy and loving relationship, but we take actions that prove contrary to this, such as by staying with someone who we know is not truly suited to us.
Love and Light,
K2 (Kris & Kalyn)
Dear Guides,
My path as a light worker is unclear for me. How do I clarify what I am to do now? How do I clarify where I am going? I am 58 not 30, so this has been weighing on my life greatly lately. I know that relationships are just mirrors of us, past? Or now? Help, I would like to know.
-Marie
Hello Marie,
Regardless of our age, time is never on our sides. Toltecs focus on the now moment, never assuming that they have years ahead of them, taking advantage of every minute now.
Yes, Marie, relationships are mirrors of our present, as there is only the now moment. Life’s mirrors reflect everything to us about ourselves, the way a literal mirror reflects our entire image. Mirrors are, therefore, meant to help us to know ourselves so that we may know what we do not like that we wish to change and, more importantly, where we are unhealed so that we can heal. By offering us mirrors, Life helps us know what we need to strengthen in ourselves. As we strengthen ourselves and get more in touch with our Authentic selves, we take steps towards our own divinity.
Our true purpose in life is to heal, regardless of our life circumstances such as the job we hold or the relationships we are in. If we are feeling lost or as though we do not know what to do, then we need to look more closely at our mirrors and take the necessary actions in our lives doing what we know we need to do.
Love and Light,
K2 (Kris & Kalyn)
Dear Guides,
The masters of the white lodge, such as Samael aun Weor, revealed knowledge such as true white tantra, and dissolving the ego. Much is right on with the Toltec practices. The main thing that is missing is white tantra. Sexual alchemy without orgasm. All of the practices have to be experienced first hand. From what Samael says about the kundalini is that it can only be activated with kundalini yoga and such but never truly rise. One must mix the solar and lunar atoms during sex to ignite the fire. The Taoist methods are considered black by the white lodge as they permit orgasm, even if trying to still hold the physical energy in. Samael writes about how the Toltecs, Egyptians, and true Christians all practiced white tantra but it has been kept secret or perverted into black tantra. What are your views on white tantra and all this stuff and how it relates to your Toltec teachings. It’s hard when beliefs conflict and one may be missing a vital teaching or be teaching something wrong.
-transmute666
Hello transmute,
Your confusion comes from trying to `understand' without application. What is most true about Gnosis doctrine is that Self-Realization can only come through "work on oneself" and "first hand experience."
One of the first things you must do on the Toltec Path is to clean, clear, heal, and strengthen the human tonal. The `cleaning' means giving up our inventory. Part of our inventory is beliefs and knowledge. You say you fear `missing a vital teaching due to conflicting beliefs'. The Toltec path is one of direct knowledge. There are no beliefs, only a `structure' that can help us negotiate the path. However, we must never turn that `structure' into a belief. We must at sometime along our path give the `structure' up in order to experience knowingness directly.
You simply cannot `learn' what you are wishing to know from books and writings. In trying to do so you will forever be confused because it is not direct application. You will always find something that will contradict something else. Therefore, either you must turn a blind eye to other writings or you must continue to search endlessly for the truth. Unfortunately, this kind of searching does
not help one iota to give you the growth and evolution that is part of a spiritual path. Only doing the `work' gives you growth.
So many people have so much motion in their spirituality, but only a few have true movement. Learning is motion. It is like a dog chasing its tail. Lots of motion but it doesn't go anywhere. Growth, on the other hand, can only come through application and is true movement.
If you wish to know whether the writings on white tantra or black tantra are true, I suggest you take the next 7 years and practice white tantra. Then you will know. I can tell you that there was a period in my life when I was sidetracked by such practices, but I eventually realized that these practices did not take me to where I wanted to go – to where I am now. Nevertheless, don't take what I say for granted. Find out for yourself by `doing' the work.
As Toltecs often say: "Don't believe anyone. Don't believe me. Don't believe yourself."
Love and Light,
K2 (Kris & Kalyn)

Abundance Is Everywhere! |
by Brian Sincerbeaux |
I recently purchased the Manifesting Abundance Workbook by Kalyn B. Raphael. I want to share with everyone what has been going on for me since I started doing this workbook. To say the least some really cool stuff has happened. I am about to finish the fifth week. Overall I am seeing abundance come to me slowly... but surely. The biggest happening so far is that I received my federal tax refund today, a full two weeks before it was supposed to be here. My preparer said it would take 4-6 weeks but that was only two weeks ago.
What I have most appreciated about the workbook thus far, even more than the fitness I am gaining from doing sit-ups everyday, is that I am now able to see the abundance that was already in my life and all around me with much more clarity. The fact is I didn't think I had a lot of abundance at all when I started and now that couldn't be further from the truth. I have an abundance of clothing, housing, and love. I now also see abundance almost everywhere I turn my head when I'm out in the world--people, vehicles, warmth from the sun, fun at work, and the list could literally go on forever. Furthermore I no longer worry about money. Recently, I have seen my finances get as low as they have been in a while and it did not phase me at all. I went on living, knowing there will be more.
| Manifesting Abundance Workbook
The Manifesting Abundance Workbook has been written specifically to offer the structured side of aligning to Abundance. Manifesting abundance is a two-part process of aligning energetically to abundance through the Manifesting Abundance CD processes and then aligning the personality to abundance through the structured side of our ourselves, our thoughts, feelings and behaviors.
The Manifesting Abundance Workbook offers a daily structure to follow that supports the alignment in the CDs as it also focuses on the structured side of aligning our personalities. This eight-week workbook provides a five day week in which abundance is increased in mini-lessons, exercises, journal entries and daily abundant routines. You will also increase your abundance using a variety of methods including using awareness, developing abundant habits, breaking blocks to abundance in your life, and increasing your personal power to attract abundance.
The Manifesting Abundance Workbook offers:
- over 20 different exercises and other methods to increase your awareness of abundance, how it works and how to increase your awareness and ability to attract abundance
- over 20 different techniques and habits to increase your abundant thoughts, feelings and behaviors
- over 10 exercises to help break the most common blocks you may hold that keeps abundance from flowing into your life
- over 10 exercises and behaviors to increase the abundance cycles in your life and to increase your personal power to attract abundance
The Manifesting Abundance Workbook is available now for $25.

The most startling part of this process has been uncovering the limiting beliefs I had that prevented me from seeing and attracting abundance in the first place. Beliefs like 'I'm not smart enough,' 'I'm not good enough,' 'I'm not worth it,' and 'I don't deserve it’. This process has not only been invaluable to attracting and aligning to abundance, but also to my overall growth and transformation.
Much praise and thank you Kalyn for sharing this with us.
Love & Light,
Brian

Abundance In All Things!
Abundance is an essence that exists in infinite supply in the universe. Abundance can take on various forms such as an abundance of love, money, happiness, joy, success, and so on. Generally, we know what abundance is, but bringing abundance into our daily life alludes many of us. |
Manifesting Abundance uses the two spiritual laws, "as above so below," and "as within so without." Many have heard of these laws but are not certain how to put these laws into effect. To put the law into motion you must first be able to access spiritual essences that exist in unlimited supply on the levels beyond physicality. Then you must align the structured self to this essence, bringing the essence fully into your inner world. When your inner world is completely aligned to the essence, in this case abundance, it must manifest in your outer world. It is the law.
To find out more about how to create abundance in your life, please go to: http://laws-of-abundance.com/
Testimonial: "I really enjoyed it. What I noticed about myself is that I would grasp at making an altar for my bills, and come to appreciate them and look at them as symbolic, but also I repel actually taking the time to work with self and energy first. " -T.B.
"I also bought the Abundance CD and since doing the processes on it, I am much more aware of the abundance of things all around me. Work has taken on new dimensions and I have excellent future prospects. There is an abundance of love in my house; family is strong and stable. There is a great feeling when my three bodies are aligned to the essence of abundance. There is more energy in me.
Love and Light,
Francisco"

Don’t Take Things Personally
Actually, there are some things that we are meant to take to heart but these are very different than the things we are not meant to take personally.
The problem with taking things personally is that we
limit our own sight. For example, when a student projects their frustrations onto a teacher, the teacher’s intent to help the student becomes lost to the student. Instead of realizing that the teacher only means to help the student, by taking pointers as personal criticism the student focuses on the “criticism” and loses site of the aid being offered.
The pointers given by the teacher have a purpose to them – they are specific and personal to the student, since they are specific ways for the student to improve. The pointers are meant to be taken to heart.
Unlike an insult by a stranger on the street, as we go deeper into The Four Agreements we find that we need to be wise about what we take personally. Help which can improve us is beneficial to take to heart, but taking it personally can limit our ability to receive help and it can limit our ability to take that help to heart. |
Kalyn B Raphael also teaches spiritual courses in Santa Fe, NM, and on the Internet. She is a certificated teacher of don Miguel Ruiz, best-selling author of The Four Agreements.

This issue’s article is taken from Kalyn’s new book, Seek Your Soul, which is a guided year-long recorder leading us to connect with our Souls in simple, effective and enjoyable ways.
Pray.
Pray a thousand times a day.
This is you, the human personality, connecting and communicating with your Soul.
Talk to your Soul.
Share your dreams, deep desires and thoughts with your Soul.
Listen for a response, never feeling discouraged if you can’t “hear”.
Seek your Soul, your purpose,
your highest truth and Pray a thousand times a day.
Journaling-
This week work on finding a prayer you like, creating one or changing your existing prayer. Try different variations on your prayer throughout the week as you seek a prayer that feels like it brings you closer to your Soul.
Talk to your Soul during the week too. Every day journal on your observations, feelings or experiences with your prayers and talks on the pages that follow.
Love and Light,
Kalyn
| While Kalyn was completing Seek Your Soul, she offered a web site where she posted selected parts of the book and encouraged people to participate in the book and on the site. This is an entry posted by a participant regarding "Pray".
Dear Kalyn,
This seems like a good way to start to peer into the inside of your mind and to get some depth. I really wonder how many lives are really filled with prayer! I think that this book would be a beautiful thing for All of our governors, leaders, senators President's, whether they were elected by the people, or for the people, like President GWB.
- Nesta
Hello Nesta,
Thank you for your compliments.
One of the greatest mistakes people make in life is that they look outside of themselves when they see problems in life. To become a divine and connected child of God we must focus on ourselves, taking responsibility for our lives, our healing and our growth. This is how we increase our connection to our Souls and how we will know Heaven.
As each of us focuses on ourselves we begin to shift the consciousness of humanity as a whole so that by each of us seeking connection with our own souls humanity will follow. By seeking and praying Nesta, you are working on yourself and you are affecting humanity in the greatest and most impacting way that you can. For this I sincerely thank you.
As more and more of us awaken to a deep desire to seek our souls through prayer or any other means we will, in time, find a world in which world leaders also seek something higher in themselves, praying and following divine guidance. And then, Nesta, you and I will be living a life filled with Love and Heaven on earth.
Love & Light,
Kalyn |

"Denyse, what a precise way to describe it! A quality date on a personal basis. I like this very much! Reading the articles and then turning within brings a feeling of warmth and comfort and togetherness - like spending time with your very, very best friend. Which our Soul is. I am looking forward to this too.

Mastery of Awareness - AUDIO COURSE on CDs: An Alternative |
|
For those who are unable to work directly with a teacher or who just wish to supplement this work, Kris and Kalyn have created an alternative, the Mastery of Awareness Audio Course on CDs. The CDs include not only lessons, but also energetic, meditative processes, and also live commentary from Kris and Kalyn. You can listen to the CDs in your car (not the meditative processes please) or in the convenience of your home.
TESTIMONIAL: Here are some testimonials. (Thank you Dan, Mel, Matthew and Coyote!)
"Hello K2,
I just received my first two cd's from the MOA course. It's great to have a voice to associate with the text read in emails or on the forum. The teachings and lessons become much more personal. I like the conversation format used too. Thank you so much for putting the cd's together. I look forward to the next." ~Dan
"Hi K2!
I love the Mastery of Awareness CD's! Kris and Kalyn, your commentaries have really helped. The lessons on tape put them in a different dimension for me (out of cyber space and into a voice)...one with more physical aspects. I love your voices too. Anyway, I listen to them in the car. . .so that makes me happy to spend that time in the car this way.
with Love and Light,
Mel"
"The CDs add a whole extra dimension. I like to learn by reading, and when I listen to Kris and Kalyn on the CDs, it takes me out of my pattern - which is what this is all about. I have also never had much success with meditation exercises that I read. The guided exercises are a help to me, because I can release having to remember what I read and just listen to Kris. Writing about it makes my left big toe tingle for some reason. " ~Matthew
"I have received my first two CD’s on the MOA Course. I have to agree with Matthew—about it being nice to have a voice so when we meditate, we don’t have to remember “what’s next”. I love the meditation of the three bodies. . .I am enjoying the course and look forward to the other CD’s coming as well as picking up the lessons through the email." ~Coyote
