Universal Path of the Soul

Jesus was born the son of Marium and Yousif in the early hours before dawn on the morning of March 7, 4 BC. Once the baby was wrapped in swaddling cloths and placed in Marium's arms, did she look into the eyes of her newborn son and see the only begotten Son of God, the Christ, who would perform the works of the Father, be crucified, and be resurrected on the third day as Christianity proclaims? Probably not.

Now that we have the date and time when Jesus was born, it is possible to see Jesus's life from His birth to His Crucifixion in a new light, free of religion, theology, and dogma. This comprehensive analysis of the birth chart of Jesus shines a bright light upon Jesus as a person and a Soul and reveals how He unfolded, developed, and mastered His divine potential.

Using the symbolism of traditional astrology and Soul-centered esoteric astrology, the progressive unfoldment, development, and spiritualization of Jesus are presented in a way that helps people understand the nature and breadth of the path of the Soul. It is upon this path that people discover their own unique patterning and unfold their divine potential.

Path of the Soul tells the inspiring story of the life, the message, and the mission of Jesus and explains in great detail how Jesus mastered successively higher states of mind and attained Christ consciousness. Such lofty achievements as, enlightenment, bliss, at-one-ment with the Divine, and Christ consciousness are not states of mind that only a few people can achieve. Rather, they are states of mind that all people can attain when their vast potential is unfolded within the crucible of the human mind.

From step to step and stage to stage, the prodigal sons and daughters who have journeyed to a far land return home. This journey home is referred to as the path of the Soul. Upon this path, mankind journeys from darkness to light, from the unreal to the real, from revelation to revelation, and from realization to new realization, through the successively higher gateways of the mind onto the courtyard of the Divine.

There is a secret chamber in the planetary heart filled with a wealth of information about this journey and how people can unfold their divine potential. Unfolding this potential is the objective of all who step upon the path of the Soul. Although portions of these teachings have been revealed to the masters and initiates throughout history, these teachings have been purposefully withheld from the public. Since time immemorial, the guardians of the ancient wisdom teachings have been patiently waiting for the day when they could release these teachings to the public.

That day is now.

For more than two thousand years, the words of the Buddha and the Christ have spiritually fertilized and tilled the soil of the collective hearts and minds of humanity in preparation for this day. At last, a sufficient number of people are ready to begin their training for world service as co-creators of the Divine. It is they who will lay the foundation for a new heaven and a new earth.

The potential to become a divine co-creator is imprinted upon the Souls of all people, yet few have turned away from the outer world long enough to perceive their own divine patterning. Most people are oblivious to their own Soul.

Historically, the spiritualization of human consciousness has taken place at an exceedingly slow pace, but this is about to change. Today, the opportunity to speed up the rate at which people attain the higher states of mind is being offered to all who are willing to do the work. To take advantage of this opportunity, it is important to have a basic understanding of the human constitution and knowledge of how the mind and consciousness unfold in the seven planes of the evolutionary system of earth.

Though this information may seem abstract and esoteric at times, it is important to have a basic understanding of the nature of this journey into the planes of light and the higher states of spiritual realization. The evolution of consciousness involves the unfoldment, development, and mastery of the three aspects of the divine mind, first as the personality, then as the Soul, and finally as the Spiritual Triad.

Esoterically, the three aspects of the divine mind are referred to as: divine will-purpose, love-wisdom, and active intelligence. In consciousness, the unfoldment and development of these three aspects of the Divine at the level of the Monad (the Father Spirit) is referred to as the Spiritual Triad. At the personal level, these three aspects of the divine mind people unfold and develop are known as:

1. The physical-etheric instinctual mind: the physical appetites and drives, personal will and initiative (the will-to-be).

2. The astral-emotional desire mind: feelings, sentiency, love, and affections (the ability to psychologically relate to one another).

3. The concrete mind: the personal intelligence, rational, logical thought, and discernment.

All people begin this journey by developing the threefold personal consciousness, regardless of the stage of development the Soul had previously attained. At this initial stage of development, the (brain) consciousness is unfolded and developed in terms of skills, capacities, faculties, and senses. This development is preliminary to the work called for upon the path.

The Seven Planes, the Seven Rays, and the Seven Principles of Consciousness

The progressive development and mastery of more expansive and inclusive states of mind takes place in the seven planes of the evolutionary system of earth. Here, in the West, the seven planes (from the lowest plane to the highest) are referred to as the physical-etheric plane, the astral-emotional plane, the mental plane, the buddhic plane, the atmic plane, the monadic plane, and the divine plane. Each plane corresponds to a unique type and quality of energy.

There is no division of the evolutionary system of earth...
