Most esoteric thought within the world’s religious traditions profess an idealized form of perfection which we strive to attain. Whether we are talking about the Christos, the Buddha, the Atman, the Adam Kadmon, or the immortal self, envisioned by the Taoists, we are acknowledging that we all exist in a field of light, the zero-point field. We are evolving into that perfect template. Granted, material creation seems very substantial and solid; however, our seemly dense material existence is really an illusion of solidity brought about by the collapsed waveform of light, which is the substrate of our existence. As these archetypal light patterns, we exude and actualize the sacred geometry embedded in the zero-point field from which creation manifests. Several of the forms of SACRED WISDOM espouse the nature of the royal family of light. Especially within the Hermetic wisdom, a divine royal family is said to exist for each and every one of us. The family consists of a hidden kingly father, an all-encompassing mother of the physical universe, the son and the daughter. The son is a stranger who marries the daughter as in the Tetragrammaton of the Hebrew. But because mankind fell into the maze of the material world, we have lost sight of our noble birthright. 

Now, after years of blind servitude to literalist dogma, we are finally waking-up to our royal, divine heritage and it is reflective in our religious institutions and spiritually hopeful philosophies. We are aware that it takes a community of like-minded people to create, or co-create, a reality where we are more in line with the fractal-like nature of the universe. Because it is a fractal, we represent one, similar part of the whole. But first, not only do we need to learn to communicate better and more often, we have to burn away the negative residue of the past and present day vexations which only adds to the disquietude of the soul. Through retro-intension one can travel inward and mend the detriment needlessly caused to our psyche and thereby influence a positive future of infinite possibilities. Like the Sufi, we should prepare ourselves to be in the presence of God.

As the Taoists would say, the journey within is the first step in finding our true divine nature. But first one must realize that there are two energies that create our dualistic universe, one positive and flowing, the other negative and restrictive. It is up to us to decide what to restrict or let flow through us, so long as it is our choice and not the will of another. We should always rely on our inner strength to help us soar to great heights. 

If we feel ourselves sinking into despair, we must remember that the universe in constantly helping us, all we have to do is listen. Yes, there will be those who think you the fool, but it is the fool who becomes the king and changes everything. One way to change ourselves for the better is though positive psychology or the “power of positive thinking,” not so much as in the looking through rose-colored glasses view of things but realizing that there are two sides to each coin and being able to choose a positive affirmation.  This will assist us in pulling ourselves out of the doldrums of everyday, mundane life and enhance our strengths and virtues. 

There exists a throne, so to speak, that we can always sit upon during times when we are aware of our true divine nature. This throne gives us a feeling of comfort that embraces us like an old, dear friend or the welcoming feeling one gets when returning home from a long journey. We sit upon it as kindred souls and travelers of the sacred journey of life, but to get there takes personal responsibility and the will to fight for what is true and just. The only way to experience the light is to let it flow from our hearts so that others less aware can learn from our example and become fellow leaders and participants within this divine medium. The alchemical formula of transmuting the lead of the gross body to a subtle body of gold is an apt metaphor to describe our journey and it’s something most of us have tried to do from time immemorial, learning from our mistakes and teaching others the right way to self-determination. What better way to travel and explore than with a queen at our side while heart chakras open, both giving and receiving the light of the universe. In this way we become a community of self-actualized co-creators of our own destiny. The open flow of knowledge from fellow to fellow is the electricity flowing through our noosphere, which will eventually become the OMEGAPOINT.
