Light. What is spiritual light? How is spiritual light generated, or, perhaps more accurately, brought into our lives?
Where does the Light come from? In the Mystery School, we say the Spiritual Light available to us comes from En-Sof, a being who is not really a being, but who is also not not a being — En-Sof is a plenum of emptiness, a Source of All, having no qualities but containing all qualities; holding all of existence within itself, and lending its Mind and presence and being to all things always, existing within all things, and yet not defined (nor even altered in fundamental nature) by any thing.
En-Sof is the substance of the quantum field, the etheric web of life, the essential substance behind all matter, all life. We are part of En-Sof and also not, all at the same time. En-Sof is in everything but its essence, if it could be said to have an essence at all, is also no-thing-ness, nothingness. And yet it is full of everythingness, goodness, and light simultaneously.
It is quite a paradox and yet has no contradictions whatsoever within itself, for it could not have contradictions and still be En-Sof. It unfolds itself through the Seven Hermetic Principles, and manifests in all life as the most essential force that drives all existence.
So how do we access and work with this Spiritual Light of En-Sof?
Good news: it’s always already here. Yet being so essential, a quantum consciousness of reality is required to access it. How do we obtain this kind of consciousness? The Path of Initiation that we are already walking upon as initiates in this lineage gives us the reliable tools to do this.
Our primary tools in the Mystery School lineage give us layers upon layers of the right kind of access to the quantum field, the Mind of En-Sof, in the right ways and at the right times for our individual development as we progress.
These primary tools are:
Rituals
Meditation
Prayer
Healing
By employing these 4 basic tools, at the right times and in the right ways, we progress on our path of knowledge, understanding and wisdom of how to harness the Light in the best ways: to find JOY in our lives and bring JOY to others through SERVICE.
Service is defined in the Mystery School as the authentic promotion, acknowledgement, transformation, and confirmation that someone is God. Service is the result of the correct use of our tools, and functions as the reminder to us and to those we serve to live in JOY. Joy is the authentic remembrance in each moment that you are God. Of course, as we find true Joy in knowing thyself as God, in the same moment we find true peace, because we are in alignment and living in flow with who we truly are, and that peace cannot be replaced through any other means.
When we use our tools, regularly, intelligently, and creatively to further our joy and service — not mindlessly like robots doing rituals because someone told us they were “good” — we discover that new possibilities which never before seemed available open up for us, layer by layer.
These layers of new possibilities contain more Light, and therefore more potential for Joy, because they were unfolded as a product of the tools of Light. The Light serves the Light in the Light to generate more potential for Light, which means life improves and becomes more Godly, more Good, more meaningful.
Why does it work like this? HOW does it work like this?
When we use the tools, we notice potentials in the quantum field, in the plenum of emptiness that is En-Sof, potentials which have always existed, but now can come to AWARENESS because we have harnessed ENOUGH LIGHT to NOTICE that they exist.
The field is always a quantum reality, and part of the meaning of quantum reality is that is responds to observation, to awareness. Without awareness, it’s like the potentials don’t really even exist, or at least so it seems to us. Maybe we see others around us having good potentials, but perhaps we aren’t seeing those similar potentials in our lives.
In order to open up more positive potentials for ourselves, we need to harness, build, and hold the Light, in order to have the quantum awareness of the potentials that reside within the field for us. We of course must match the vibratory frequency of the potential in order to be aware of it — we cannot truly access a potential if we do not already hold its frequency within us.
If we wish to hold the right frequency, well, the bad news is, often, this is a LOT of work. We generally do not come to the Mystery School with enough awareness to even know where we are right NOW in the vibratory spectrum of the quantum field, so we don’t know how much work we have to do to get where we want to go. Complicating this further is the fact that most people don’t know thyself enough to even set their sights correctly yet on where they want to go.
It is often a humbling journey again and again to discover, layer by layer, what we TRULY desire even for ourselves. This journey has no beginning and no end, just eternally more and more layers to it, leading us from wherever we are to a greater life of more joy and peace and meaning.
Any time you feel stuck in the field, use your tools, diligently, intelligently, creatively. Talk with your Guide — your Guide is your Guide through the Quantum Field of Reality.
Reach out to your Guide, text or email or message them, and ask for their assistance. It is one of the greatest gifts you have ALREADY given yourself, the gift of hiring your Guide when you got initiated. And they will always be there for you to assist you in overcoming the blockages you find in your experience of the quantum field.
