A woman speaks
“This maiden, the source of the Being energy, would wait until the great Doing force was ready to surrender his cycle.”
 
Another woman speaks
“There are wings of lights bursting out, fire in the sky. Lights in all directions.”
 
First woman speaks again
“And then, as in the cycle of all things, her powers would rule over time. She would emerge and carry the wisdom and the healing of the sun realm and all that she’d brought would manifest in the world.”
 
The Wisdom Keeper speaks
Out beyond ideas of right doing and wrong doing there is a field.  I meet you there.  This is the cosmic library, the field of consciousness.  The cognition of seers and sages of ancient times from all the wisdom traditions of the world are right here.  This is part of the Akashic Record, the immeasureable potential of all that was, is and will be. Here are the questions to the deepest dilemmas of our existence “Who are we?”  “Where did we come from?”  “What’s the meaning and purpose of our existence?”  “Where is the soul?  How do we find it?”  But there’s one book that’s missing.  And that’s the Book of Secrets.  Shall we find it? Come.  Let us explore.”
 
 
“The world that you experience through your senses is a projection of your consciousness—your thoughts, your moods, your emotions, your knowingness and your perception are inseparably what the differentiated aspects of your own spirit.  The wisdom traditions tell us that there are seven states of consciousness.  The first state of consciousness is deep sleep where your awareness is very limited.  But you are awake, even in deep sleep to some extent because if I come and call out your name and squeeze you, make a big noise, you respond so there is some consciousness.  
 
“The second state of consciousness is the state of dreams where there’s an increasing repertoire of experience.  You see images, you have insights, you remember things the logic is not so rational.  The dream state of consciousness projects its own reality and it’s a subtle part of your being, the subtle body is expressing itself in the dream state of consciousness.
 
“The third state of consciousness is waking state of consciousness where we experience the world through our five senses—sound, touch, sight, taste and smell.  Where we have attention to certain things but we are also generally aware of things that are happening at the more subtle level.  And most people go through an entire lifetime waking, dreaming, sleeping, waking, dreaming, sleeping not having a clue that there are other states of consciousness available to them.
 
“The fourth state of consciousness is when you first glimpse your soul.  Your soul is the window, the corridor, the transformational vortex through which you communicate with the infinite consciousness which orchestrates the infinite diversity of the universe and all phenomena in space time. Getting in touch with your soul is the beginning of getting in touch with the deeper reality.  Your soul is the observer in the midst of observation.  Even now as you’re listening to me and looking at me, just turn your attention to who’s listening.  To who’s watching. And perhaps you feel the presence of your soul.  The soul is the unchanging factor in the midst of changing observations.  The timeless factor in the midst of time-bound experience.  When you wake up to your soul consciousness you will start to experience coincidences and synchronicities. You will start to be intuitive.  You will start to feel that there is something happening behind the scenes that is not so obvious to the eyes of the flesh.  
 
“A great Sufi poem says, “This is not the real reality. The real reality is behind the curtain. In truth we are not here.  This is your shadow.”  So now you have gone beyond the shadow and witnessed, even for a brief moment, the real reality. And when the real reality starts to awaken in your consciousness, a day will come when you will enter cosmic consciousness. Cosmic consciousness is to be in this world and not of it.  It is to have localized perception and be non-local at the same time.  It is to have the alert witnessing of your own self in waking, dreaming and sleeping.  Your body is asleep but you, the spirit, is observing the body in deep sleep.  Your body is dreaming but you, the spirit is observing your body in dreams.  Your body is in activity, you the spirit is observing that the ever present witnessing awareness is fully awake in waking, dreaming and sleeping.  But even cosmic consciousness is just the portal of God consciousness, of divine consciousness.  
 
“When you really begin to cognize and perceive on the level of your senses that things are not what they seem to be.  That a flower is not just a flower but sunshine and rainbows and earth and water and wind and air, and the infinite void and the whole mystery of the universe and the whole history of creation in every petal of that flower.  And if you can penetrate that, you will sense the spirit in the flower.  But not only will you sense the spirit in the flower, you will sense the spirit in every object of your perception so spirit will no longer be difficult to find, spirit will be impossible to avoid for there is nowhere you can go where you will not feel the presence of spirit.  And divine consciousness will open the portal to the seventh state of consciousness, unity consciousness where the spirit in you and the spirit in all the objects of your perception will merge and you will see and feel and know that there is only one spirit.  And the whole universe is a manifestation of that one spirit and you are that one spirit.  And you will say, “Now I know that I am not in the world, the world is in me.  I am not in the body, the body is in me.  I’m not in the mind, the mind is in me.  The whole universe happens to me as I curve back within myself and create again and again and again and again.”  You will realize that you are, in fact, the infinite intelligence pretending for a moment to have a localized and impermanent point of view.  You will have taken the flight to freedom.”
