Excerpt from the upcoming book
by LaUna Huffines
Introductory Remarks
When I wrote the Bridge of Light book it seemed that we had plenty of time to complete this bridge and make contact the divine Self where higher intuition, pure love, and divine will prevail. Today, the world needs greater light. Humanity is in turmoil and must somehow move from the lower energy centers to the higher ones. Many spiritual workers have made this shift from the personality to the soul. They are now centered in the heart and head, working in spiritual groups. They bring powerful spiritual forces to humanity through meditation.
We are focusing on extending the bridge of light from personality to soul to the divine. The divine Self is the essence of our being, the source of our life before decent to the physical plane. Living from the ajna and crown centers brings divine understanding, requiring major changes in the personality life.
Aligning personality with soul and aligning soul with the divine Self, one becomes useful in widening circles of influence as an agent of light. Those who learn to link with the divine Self realize true intuition in the higher frequencies of energy. They become a force for wholeness rather than working with a small part of the whole; they radiate beauty, brilliance, and compassion in the world. The energy of this Self has three points of light — divine intelligence, divine love, and divine will or power. Infused with divine love embracing all humanity each one can make a positive difference in his family and the world around him.
Conneccted with the spiritual intuitive plane, illusion dissolves in the universal realities. Separations and conflicts are healed. The clashing of ideologies and religions, reflecting the parts of the One are realized as temporary problems to be solved through group consciousness.
Many souls are waking up to work with higher spiritual energies to meet the urgent need of humanity. Each of us is emerging out of the mental laziness that has held us, along with humanity, imprisoned for ages. Now people everywhere are thinking, pondering, planning and consciously choosing the best course of action for their lives. The spirit of humanity is driving toward a civilization infused with the will to good.
We are preparing for spiritual events of major importance to appear. These events will gradually produce right human relations over the world; they will reveal the underlying joy of creative forces of joy replacing humanity's age long habit of misery.
The spirit of expectancy is in the air. You can see it by the divine discontent among all the people. More people are free today than ever before and it is becoming obvious that the basic law of this planet is freedom of the human soul. People are demanding to get an accurate picture of news and information in world affairs. The minds of men and women are developing very fast; people want to know the deeper causes of world problems.
This in itself is a great spiritual event; it makes the life of the soul possible on a large scale for the first time in human history; it makes intuitive perception possible on a large scale. Even in the violent clash of ideologies, we are seeing the true and beautiful result of the universal educational system, which even with all its faults has made it possible for people to read, to write and to communicate with each other. The best worldwide internet sites are extending the education of all of us, regardless of how many graduate degrees we may have.
There are over six million sites about The Great Invocation, a world prayer being said over the world in seventy languages. A check into the word “spiritual” with Google search engine yields almost 200,000,000 websites discussing spirituality. From spiritual evolution to spiritual transformation, the fact of an awakening humanity is right here.
The age of the soul is here and the age of the divine Self is soon to follow. Even those who once submitted to the authority of others’ for their spiritual path, are recognizing the soul as their authority. They are responding to the light of the soul and finding their own spiritual path. The will to find God (or the light) out there, or to find God (or the light) within is pulling souls away from the crystallized belief structures of old. They have an independent mind and are reorienting their lives in directions that will somehow lift some of the suffering in the world. It has become obvious that an ecclesiastical title does not mean that person is spiritual. He may be, and he may not be. A wealthy businessman or woman may be as spiritual as any well-known spiritual leader.
When I put the Path of Light website online in 1996 (pathoflight.com) all the websites with light were selling light bulbs or indoor decorating. No one else referred to spiritual light. Today, there are 117,000,000 sites on the “path of light.” This marks an explosion of spiritual awakening and it has reached and inspired people all over the world. When my book, Healing Yourself with Light was published, using the light of the soul was not yet recognized. Only in the past century did the idea spread to the Western mind that humanity is evolving into greater light in stages. The idea that we continue to reappear with a new and finer body after the last body wore out and the soul withdrew to prepare a better body, was considered crazy. Now with the greater sensitivity to the soul, this realization is virtually universally accepted.
Some souls today have etheric vision that enables them to see the energies and colors around others. Bright and beautiful blues, yellows, golden oranges, and lilacs are among the hallmarks of radiant souls whose song brings joy to others. We select the best possible methods to reach the next stage of consciousness with our spiritual group. Three people make a group. Each of us will choose the spiritual path that fits our stage of evolution.
If you are want to experience the joy of the life of the soul and the bliss of the divine Self, if you want to gain higher wisdom and intelligent understanding love, you will find the methods here to awaken to and meet the divine Self face to face. Whether you have invoked the soul through meditation and built the bridge of light to reach it, or you have invoked the soul through efforts to aid humanity, this book may be profoundly helpful in merging with the soul and extending your bridge to the splendor of the true essence of life, the divine self
Constructing a bridge to the divine essence Self is possible for those who use the right methods with the heartfelt and mindful intention to succeed. The first step, and it is a major one, is to send out lines of light that connect the personality to the soul, to develop sensitivity to its voice, and later to merge with it. Once this connection is becoming steady,
If meeting the divine Self calls forth a response within your heart, if it stimulates your mind, you will be able to use the steps here to meet the Divine Self face to face. The effects are inevitable. You may already have taken some of these steps through meditation or prayer without realizing it. You will recognize this as we move forward together. Most important in this process, once the intention is set to construct the bridge of light, is using the will and employing the creative imagination. This is as far as most aspirants ever go. But there are three more steps to complete your bridge. You will learn how to project these strands of light to the divine self, using your word of power. You will learn which of the seven colors is your soul color and which is your personality color so that you can use the correct color to empower your bridge.
Knowledge is helpful as we put together our personal philosophy of life and how we intend to use this great opportunity. Knowledge alone is cold, hard, and separative. Love alone is soft, sweet and sentimental yet rarely has any effect in the world. Synthezied as one, they are a dynamic and powerful force for good in the world. There is no simple formula for combining heart love and head knowledge. We learn this from our own experience. When we reach a fork in the road, or the road ends in the wilderness, we have to make a new choice. This is not difficult when we can see in the light of the soul. Then we need the will to follow that choice. Success means surging forward to discover new visions.
Each step in building a channel of light to the divine Self, is practical and easy to grasp. Once your soul and personality begin to vibrate in synchronicity with each other, you approach the Divine Self together. This Self is also reaching toward you and a magnetic resonance begins. Once this contact is made, you see higher intuitive wisdom, free of the distortions of the astral plane. In time your aura is so purified, so filled with solar light that it becomes radiant and enables you to be effective in your life work for the world. Accomplishment comes from combining all the steps until they become an automatic process in your life.
The great truths are found in every major religion, yet frequently buried under the interpretations of different cultures. In most cases I use words that make sense to our Western minds rather than the ancient Eastern spiritual terms. For example, the bridge of light is known in the East as the “antahkarana.” With either name the approach and the effects are the same.
We progress with perseverance. Dormant brain cells become active and new receptors are built into the nervous system. These receptors are on the physical plane and in your energy field called the etheric body. Until these receptors are built through correct meditation, blending spirit with matter is like trying to mix oil and water. These connectors produce a different kind of telepathy; a mind-to-mind and a soul-to-soul telepathic rapport develops as the higher connections are made. This telepathy is different than psychic experiences. True mental telepathy is just now developing, as is soul-to-soul telepathy. As you practice these methods to the divine Self, this higher telepathic rapport may happen spontaneously between you and your spiritual group.
For many years my spiritual focus has been the Ageless Wisdom Teachings. These teachings are free of dogma and focus on timeless truths of the god within and the God without. Imminent and transcendent, God is everywhere. When I write, I listen to spiritual impression from my guide, from my soul, and from the intuitive plane. These impressions can take months to interpret so they can become useful for others. Since we have no language for the Divine Self, words often cannot reveal its splendor, its power, love, and illumination.
Another source of inspiration comes from years of facilitating groups and watching their expansions of consciousness, their rising happiness and joy, and the increased effectiveness of their lives. All the beautiful souls with whom I have worked over the years have also contributed to this book. What strength a spiritual group offers! Each adds the color of his soul to the group soul, creating a magnetic and dynamic rainbow bridge of light. Each one can pull from this growing spiritual treasure what she needs for the role that she is playing in the work for evolution.
Some chapters are illustrated with metaphors, which are useful for grasping abstract ideas. Also a few examples are here to demonstrate the powerful, transforming nature of the bridge of light. As you read, use only that which rings a note of truth within you. If an idea does not make sense to you, skip it and read on. Later, you may go back and find that the meaning stands out clearly. It is your willingness to stop and think about an idea that will be of the greatest aid. Reflective thinking keeps the intellect in check so that it reads more slowly and thoughtfully. Intellects do grasp ideas quickly on the surface; just as quickly it stores them away in one of its many compartments. We need the intuitive impressions to absorb the energies that the words are pointing to.
You can add these methods to those you have learned from your own religion or spiritual traditions. If you take only a few of these methods and meditate on them, you will get far more than skimming along without stopping to reflect. Many people find they absorb spiritual energies best through listening. The audio course of meditations to go with this book may also be of great help. This way we are mediating together, and with two or more, there is always greater strength.
If you would like to meet with other souls who also are constructing the bridge of light, I warmly invite you to get in touch with our office. If you are using these steps, and have comments or questions, I hope to hear from you, and to meet you one day. It is always joyful to meet fellow travelers on the spiritual path.
