Luminosity

by Kris Raphael

A Progression

The energetic or luminous body rests below the auric field. The auric field is actually part of the human tonal along with the mental, emotional and physical bodies. Growth involves increasing the luminosity of the energy body. This luminosity relates to the degree of awareness we have.

The luminosity of the energy body can only increase when we have done the cleaning, clearing, healing and strengthening of the bodies of the tonal. Thoughts, emotions and actions must be in alignment to the energy body and alignment can only happen when the tonal is not damaged, wounded, full of beliefs and knowledge, rigid self-view and so on. The assemblage point must be fluid for the alignment to occur. To maintain the stability of the alignment requires a personal power and a strong mature, tonal.

To get to the point of sufficient luminosity and the alignment take years of dedicated work. Most people never make it to this point. They are too busy trying to avoid the healing necessary in the tonal, or they increase the knowledge in the mental body without applying it and any growth becomes impossible. A person who reaches this place, excessive knowledge without application is most always impossible to rehabilitate on a warrior's path.

The Dreamer extends itself into the human. This extension is sometimes called the core or star self. The star self lies deeper than the energy body. When full alignment of the tonal to the energy body occurs, along with sufficient luminosity of the energy body, the human system is ready to align to the star self. Toltecs call this alignment burning from the fire within.

The Mastery of Awareness Course - now beginning

The Mastery of Awareness Email Course is now open for registration. This is the 4rth Mastery of Awareness Course taught by Kristopher Raphael. Many of the participants of the previous Mastery of Awareness classes have made substantial movement in their growth and have formed a strong collective in the Mastery of Transformation Online Course. Graduates from the Mastery of Awareness are eligible to join the Mastery of Transformation.

In the MOA course you will discover:

  • The power of Awareness and how to expand it to accelerate your journey
  • Your unstructured energetic self and how to bring your unlimited side into your structured tonal aspect of self.
  • Powerful techniques for healing and growth
  • How to reclaim your energy and empower self
  • How to find personal task and life mission given to you by the Dreamer
  • and more . . .

Go to: http://masteryofawareness.com to find our more . . .

Burning from the Fire Within never happens for most as they are still identified in the wounded, false self. Most never increase their luminosity and stay bound by the false self. A requisite for aligning to the energy body is the forfeiting of the personality. Forfeiting the personality requires erasing personal history and becoming an expert in the art of Controlled Folly. Most spend their lives adding more layers to the personality or false self, when the only way to discover their authenticity is to continuously peel the layers of the false self away.

The first step in the work is to begin where you are. Most people spend a lifetime chasing their tails like a dog, lots of motion and no movement. The reason they make no movement is that they try to be where they want to be and avoid where they are. The reason why you must begin from where you are is painfully obvious - if you want to transform something, you must place awareness and energy upon it. If you want to transform a pattern of giving your power away you must place your awareness on the pattern in the moment you are doing it. Baby metaphysics teaches us the opposite. Focus on power, love, prosperity it says. Every notice how so many people in the new age movement lack these things? It is because they are continuously avoiding where they are.

Spirit can not help us if we are in avoidance. Avoidance requires our will, and Spirit cannot cross the line of our will. Placing your awareness on where you are at is not the same as indulgence. It is not self-pity. If you are in self-pity you are longing to be somewhere else. Placing your awareness where you are at, in the moment, simply requires stalking oneself, observing and witnessing oneself. The reality is that if you are any place but where you are at, you are not anywhere at all.

Love and Light,

Kris

Look at the insult and the compliment. Notice that you can allow yourself to be influenced by the compliment or the insult or neither. The choice is yours! Choose to take the compliment personally or to let them both go in one ear and out the other!

Holiday Fun is Simple Perception

by: Kalyn Raphael

    No matter what you may celebrate at this time of the year, the holidays can be a very warm and enjoyable time of the year. This is a time when people are more generous and more forgiving: we exchange gifts, attend holiday parties and visit with family. It all sounds lovely, idealistic and desirable, doesn't it?

   How is it that we go from a warm time of year to a stressful, hurried and sometimes combative time of the year? Why is it that before our company arrives the mulling spices are aromatic, the music is relaxing and the house is decorated and clean, but an hour into your family’s arrival grandma is repeating the same lecture you've heard the last five years, the in-laws are disapproving and the kids are running, screaming and breaking decorations? What happened to the peace of the season and of your home?

   We all live in our own dream and when we put several dreams together we can wind up with some discord. Differences arise, habitual patterns show their faces and we repeat the same holiday experience time after time.

   Where did your intent for a warm loving holiday go when you find yourself in the middle of a family hot zone? It has been abandoned to your perception!

   Toltecs are masters of perception so that they are able to keep their center instead of being lost into the perception of family frantics. A Toltec warrior works to keep a balances view of what is occurring. She is able to recognize that grandma means well and that she wants to contribute and only knows how to do so through her usual lecture. She also recognizes that the in-laws feel threatened and have their own dream, which causes their behavior of disapproving of others. Finally she knows that the kids are both energetic and picking up on the problems of others in the room.

   This holiday season work to see the way a Toltec does- don't take the holidays and people's behaviors personally. Instead, see these for what they truly are. Instead of getting irritated at grandma find something positive to tell her that lets her know that you value her simple presence: this is contribution enough. Instead of allowing the in-laws to make you feel less than, shift the conversation onto them and onto something that they have done well or that you admire. Before company arrives put any delicate items away and just let the kids be kids!

   A Toltec Warrior does not allow personal importance, ego or pride to stop them from turning the holiday into an enjoyable time. The warrior recognizes that these aspects of their personality only serve to make things more complicated and to bring feelings of discomfort, pain and insecurity, so they make the holidays simple!

   For your holiday season, let other people be themselves and leave your perceptions of them behind. Appreciate them and be grateful for what every gift or contribution they make to your life. By doing this your view of the holidays will be simple, enjoyable and more pleasant. You will make your holiday hassle and trouble free while adding great enjoyment. 

 Love & Light, Kalyn

Some Serious Frequency

by David Pawlak 

   Carlos Casteneda opened a portal between the private world of the traditional Shamans and the new age world of spirituality. He was the perfect tool for this, and somehow, Don Juan new this. Don Juan directed a tremendous amount of energy to the development of Carlos as a Nagual, when many may have not have done so.

   Carlos was destined for a path of high adventure, and as it seems, to reach the mass market in the North Western hemisphere, in the particular time frame of his appearance, this was exactly what was required.

   Carlos tapped a special brew of mystery, “witchcraft”,  non-physical adventure, which at the same time embodied a new yet “real” perspective to “another separate reality”. This hooked me, and millions of others. We knew that the world was not flat, as the pundits all liked to otherwise demonstrate.

   BUT, it does not take long, perhaps a year or two, to see that this new world is not much different than the one that we originally knew. Don Juan even warned of this. Loose yourself as slaves to the non-physicals is no different than being slave to unconsciousness here in “our” world.

   They entice you with wondrous knowledge and seemingly unlimited adventure in a new realm, but once you are there and enslaved to this, you are the same puppet there as you once were here. Without their assistance, there is no energy left. You, your body, emotions and especially your mind, are juicy morsels through which they weave their magic. But, they leave you, and you lay there flat, lifeless, sucked dry of any blood that you might have originally had.

   So where does the path of high adventure go wrong? There is so much truth to what Carlos had to say! The world, by any means, is not flat. But the error is not there. It’s in the focus. Can’t we see it. In this world here, it’s adventure, or lack of it that gets us into trouble. Our pain and anguish comes from grasping and / or repelling. We have to work so we can’t play: grasp at play, repel work. We want a bigger house than our neighbour, grasp at bigger, repel the one we once thought was decent at the time. And so it is with adventure. We just so easily get used to where we are. We always need more.

   So this is beginning to sound boring. You see how it works? If it looks like we are going to have to “sweat” for the adventure, we just don’t even want to listen any more. But don’t go away, it doesn’t have to be like that. There IS heaven here on Earth. True, it is not all straight and narrow, but if you want something sure, and something pure and fuller in adventure than anything you’ve ever seen, then stay tuned.

  It’s like I said, it’s in the focus, that’s all! Carlos was right, the world is NOT flat. But we’ve got to get to where we can pick up on the  frequency ourselves, and we’ve got to get to where we can continue picking up on something new and pure and clear each and every day.

   This comes from grounding. It comes from connecting yourself to the tools that astral  non-physicals desire so much. They see something that you don’t see. To you, your body, your emotions and your mind are waste material. To them, they are special tools of consciousness and implementation. There is a special and very powerful non-physical spirit at the roots of your being, that believes in free-will. This spirit, your soul if you will, is just waiting for you to learn, how to use the tools you have been given. And in that, is all the adventure anyone could want.

   So why don’t you take a look in these next few days, to see what you think you could REALLY do, if you had full control of yourself.

THE TOLTEC MASTERIES - AUDIO COURSE: An Alternative  
For those who are unable to work directly with a teacher, or for those who wish the experience the energy of that comes through the dialog, Kris has created the Toltec Masteries Audio Course. 

TESTIMONIAL:
Here is a testimonial. (Thank you Stephanie!)

     "I want to tell you how awesome the process at the end of the second CD is. I have never experienced anything like it. 
     What a miracle I am! Thank you so much for helping me to see this. Although I have been studying for over a year, there are many things on your CDs that bring understanding where I had been uncertain. What I see is your way of defining in a simple yet deeply clear manner, many concepts that are new to the mind. You seem to do it in a way that causes no mental or emotional resistance.
     Your manner of teaching reminds me of the facets of a crystal. Clear and sharp. Simple yet awesome." --Stephanie R.
