Enlightenment is not just some experience or state of consciousness sitting out in the middle of space all by itself.  No!  It is an integral part of the nature of all existence, of the entire Creation, and particularly of the Human Game. There are many factors and elements around enlightenment, which we shall call its ecology.

To fully understand enlightenment, you must understand its context, its ecology of elements and factors. There are many and some are foreign to human beliefs about existence. To understand enlightenment, you must understand:

1. The One

2. Essence

3. The 13 Primordial Characteristics of Essence.

4. The Ego Force and the Psycan.

5. The Creation

6. The Purpose of the Creation.

7. Experience and Realities, Creation and Discreation.

8. Polarities and the Laws of Polarity.

9. The Hallucination of Bad-Should Not Be.

10. The Essence Polarity of Being.

11. The Darkside, Love<>anti-love.

12. Avidya and neg-Essence (neg-power).

13. Shells of Being.

14. Game Theory, Game Conditions, and Drama.

15. The 5 Stages of the Human Adventure: Evil, Drama, Awakening, Enlightenment and

       Illumination.

16. The Nature of Evil and why it should and must exist.

17. Drama

18. Samsara

19. Being Transformation Technology

20. Spirituality and Ascension.

We call all of these the Fundamentals of Essentiality.  Here is a brief introduction to many of the fundamentals.  You will find more information in the free e-book, Essentiality I. 

Essentiality, the Cutting Edge of Spiritual Science and Technology for Awakening and Enlightenment

Essentiality is the vanguard of spiritual science and technology on the planet. It is a system of knowledge and practices that guide the being to awaken from his human dream and recover his true identity of immortal spirit, and his Oneness with Essence and all that is. 

The Fundamentals of Essentiality

Here follow the basic teachings of Essentiality, excerpted from the book Essentiality II.  This knowledge comes from the 40 years of mystical experiences and travels outside the Creation of Mycal and his team of students and investigators, and on extensive (telepathic) communications with Essence (thousands of hours).

They claim nothing special in all this; we are all equal beings; we are all Essence.  Anybody can learn to do what they have done.  The Essentiality School of Accelerated Enlightenment (ESAE) teaches all who wish how to do so, so they can verify Essence in their own experience.   

IT

Down through the ages and all around the planet, there have been rumors and legends of some place, being or state of consciousness beyond man.  IT has as many names as there are cultures and religions: Tao, Brahma, Cosmic Consciousness, Self-Realization, Enlightenment, Awakening, God, the Great Spirit, the Holy Spirit, Grace, Yahweh, Jehovah, Nirvana, the Creator, Paradise, Kingdom of Heaven, Enlightenment, Satori, Samadhi, Illumination, Self-Realization, to mention a few.  All the great spiritual masters of humanity including Buddha, Jesus, Lao Tze, Krishna, etc. have tried to teach us about IT.  IT is the heart of all religions.

IT is NOT a Myth

IT exists.  All of those names and all the religions are referring to the same thing, to the same place / being / state of consciousness:  to the one and the same IT.

Religions are the interpretations, dogmas and myths that have grown up around the perceptions and experiences of IT by the Great Mystics (Buddha, Jesus, Lao Tze, etc.)  However, as their followers did not have themselves the Experience, they could not understand and have lost or distorted the true meaning of the original teachings.  Essentiality is a new and detailed statement about IT, based on the experiences of a modern mystic, Mycal. 

The ONE

The Ultimate Reality, the Highest Truth of existence is that everything that exists is ONE BEING a single, infinitely wise, intelligent, powerful, loving, joyous, Life Energy Entity.  This BEING is the ONLY thing that exists.   She is the ONE and ONLY.  Out of Her own Essence, she forms the Creation and everything that exists within it. But the Creation is an illusion; the only and ultimate reality is Essence.  We shall call Her Essence for She is the Essence of all that exists.  She is your Essence.  You are She.  There is only the ONE; there is nothing else you could be. 

Characteristics

Essence has 13 Primordial Characteristics (and many secondary ones).   Her 13 Primordial Characteristics are Infinite:

Light,

Consciousness,

Wisdom,

Truth,

Infinity,

Oneness,

Will (Creator Power),

Magnificence,

Perfection,

Beauty,

Love,

Peace, and

Joy.

When anyone has a perception of Essence (in meditation, near-death-experiences, mystical experiences, entheogenic experiences, child birth, etc.), they will report one or more of these Characteristics.  These Characteristics produce many secondary qualities, humility, liberty, and responsibility, for examples. 

True Spirituality

Your spirituality is your degree of Experience and of Expression of Essence (EEE).  Essence, and therefore spirituality, has 13 Primordial Characteristics and 20+ secondary ones.  The major ones are:  Cause/Creator, Wisdom, Love, Humility, Peace, Compassion, Joy, and Abundance.

To the degree that you are feeling and living these Characteristics and treating others accordingly, you are being spiritual.  To the degree that you are generating negative energy, harm or suffering for others, you are being anti-spiritual, aka evil. 

Note that the Characteristics are also the components of happiness.  Essence–Love-Joy is the only happiness that exists.  You are happy to the degree that you recover your Essence.

Essence-Love is the only happiness that exists.
You are happy to the degree that you recover your Essence.   

Your spirituality is your happiness; 
your happiness comes from your spirituality. 

You can also measure the spirituality of others by their degree of expression of the Characteristics of Essence.  Many are the “false prophets” who preach (and profit) in the name of God, but who are neither examples nor sources of true spirituality.  If  you do not see humility, detachment from material things, responsibility, patience, compassion and all the other qualities of spirituality, beware.  They cannot give you what they do not have. 

 

“By their fruits, you will know them.”  –Jesus. 

Psycans

You are a spirit incarnating on Earth as a human being to enjoy the Human Adventure Movie. You-spirit  are an individualization of Essence with the same 13 Characteristics.  Several of the Characteristics control your human life:  Wisdom, Power, Value, Goodness, and Love. We call the individualization of Essence you are a “psycan”.  (Others have called it spirit, soul, or being.)

You come from Essence; you are Essence.  We are all Essence.  There is nothing else that anyone can be. There is only the One. We are all One Infinite Being of Infinite Wisdom, Power, Love and Joy. This is your True Nature.  What individualizes you to the illusion of a limited amount of being, of Essence, is the Ego.

The Ego Force Field

All is One, but the Creation needs the illusion of Many.  To produce the illusion of Many beings, Essence overlays the Creation with the Ego Force Field.  The Ego Force divides, partitions, the One Infinite Consciousness into areas or spheres or bubbles of Itself, of consciousness.  Consciousness is the ability to perceive, feel, experience, know; it is your experience of self, of “I”.  Each bubble is a psycan, an “I-here”, with other bubbles appearing to be “Not-I, over there”, i.e. others.   Thus the One within the Creation generates the illusion of others with whom to play and to play against. 

You are not an ego.  You do not have an ego.  You are a bubble of the One, an individualization of the One Infinite Consciousness, a psycan.  All others are the same: we are all equal beings, all psycans, illusory bubbles of the One. 

The Creation

The Creation is Essence manifesting Her Self in an infinity of universes.  Essence is the Creator of all that exists manifesting everything out of Her own Essence.  She is both the Creator and the Creation:  there is only the ONE.  The Creation is the One Being manifesting Herself in an infinite variety of forms and realities. 

Look at the walls around you; you are looking at Essence being wall. Look at the sky; you are seeing Essence being the sky. Look at your body; you are looking at Essence being your body. However, the Creation is an illusion, “maya” in Hinduism. The only Truth is Essence.

The Purpose of the Creation

The Creation is Essence exploring Her Self in all Her infinite possibilities of being and doing.  Her purpose is to express Her Self, to explore Her Self, to play, to be and experience all She can be, and thus to know Her Self in all Her infinite possibilities of forms, for all eternity.  She is being everything possible and everything is possible; She has no limits.   The Creation is the playground, the amusement park, the movie theater, the Disneyland of God. The purpose of the Creation is experience, play, adventure.

You are an individualization of Essence who descends within the Creation to play, to experience and live adventures; and to expand the Creation by creating from within.  Everything you do and experience, Essence always experiences.  You are a sense organ for Essence. 

Polarity

One of the magnificent ways in which Essence creates a great variety of experiences in the Creation is with Polarity.  A polarity is the stretching of an experience into two opposite directions or poles, creating a spectrum of variations of that experience.  Example:  Temperature is stretched into hot and cold with millions of degrees between the two poles.

While there are many polarities in the Creation, the most powerful and important one is the Essence Polarity of Being.  The positive pole is Essence in Her 13 Characteristics, particularly Love.   The negative pole is all the opposites of Love.  That includes all forms of negative energy, of anti-love, such as invalidation, hate, jealousy, polarization, prejudice, harm, lies, theft, fraud, corruption, indifference to the well-being of others, vengeance, destruction, war, slavery, torture, killing, to name a few. The opposite of Essence-Creator-Love-Joy is Evil-Destructor-Hate-Suffering; short name:  Evil.  

Evil permits Love to exist.  Not only is Evil a rich experience in itself, but it is impossible to have one side of a polarity without the other.  Essence wants everything possible to exist, including the Darkside of the Creation; including Evil. 

One of the purposes of Earth is to provide psycans a place where they can come to explore and express Evil, to experience being all that you are not in Essence.   Notice that there is no shortage of Evil on this planet.    

No Bad

Bad is what “Should Not Be” abbreviated SNB.  When something is Bad-SNB, we humans generate negative energy to attack, stop, change, punish or destroy that Bad-SNB thing.  That, our own, negative energy is the only pain and suffering that exist in life. 

More importantly, Bad-SNB is a hallucination of the human mind.  In the Creation, there is no such thing as Bad-SNB.  The Creator, Essence, is exploring Her Self in all Her infinite possibilities of being.  She is Infinite Freedom and Infinite Power and Infinite Love.  She places no limitations of any kind on Her Self.  There is nothing She does not want to be; nothing She does not want to exist; there is no experience She denies Herself. 

This includes Evil.  Essence is the Creator of Evil.  She creates Evil out of Her Self, out of Love, and She loves Evil infinitely. Evil is a valid and rich experience, another in the infinite manifestations of Essence. 

For enlightenment, you must transcend the hallucination of Bad-SNB to live in transparency and acceptance of all expressions of Essence.

Games

One delight of the Creation is to play Games.  The Creation is a Game Field.  A Game is the struggle and effort to overcome obstacles to reach goals.  The essence of a Game, all the juiciest experience in a Game, is not getting the goal, but the struggle and effort to overcome the obstacles.  It is in the struggle that we challenge and experience our wisdom and our power.  It is only in the struggle that we live Drama, a rich kind of experience.  Drama includes suspense, uncertainty, doubt, surprise, betrayal, loss, failure, defeat, anger, frustration, fear, guilt, sadness, all the negative emotions.  Notice how all the best sports and movies are very dramatic; we-spirits love Drama.  No Drama is boring.    

To maintain Drama, you must not win your Games, produce your desired results.  Humans play for Drama much more than to win.  You avoid getting your results by suppressing your creator power.  You recover your power when you are enlightened. 

Playing in the Creation

In your Essence of great Wisdom, Power, Love and Happiness, you cannot play Games, experience struggle or explore Drama.  You are too Wise and Powerful to have obstacles.  You are innately a creator; you can manifest any result you want immediately.   To come to Earth and play all the human games  with all their Drama: relationships, family, work, career,  business, success, money, fame, power, military, etc.—everything in life is a game.  You must suppress your Divine Essence to play Games, experience Drama and explore Evil. You must become human, ignorant of Who You Are and powerless.  You do this by creating a shell of energy around your being. 

Your Shell

To generate for yourself the illusion you are only a human being, you created a shell of psycanic (non-physical) energy around yourself. That shell acts on you-psycan = consciousness = experience  (all one concept) to block and suppress your experience of Essence,  and to generate for you the experience (illusion) of being only a human being.  While we know the exact mechanics of the shell, that is beyond our discussion here. 

The purpose of your shell is to counter-create Who You Really Are so you can explore all that you are not in your Essence, which is the negative, the Darkside of the Creation.  The Darkside includes Drama, Evil, pain and suffering.  Remember:  these are not Bad-SNB!   The Earth is a place to explore all that you are not in Essence.

Incarnation on Earth

Inside your psycanic shell of realities, you-psycan incarnate into the Matrix, into the human world, and live your Human Adventure Game as a human; that is to say: dramatically.  It takes 600+ incarnations to explore all the possibilities of the Human Experience:  rich<>poor, healthy<>sickly, success<>failure, king<>beggar, warrior<>priest, nun<>prostitute, wise<>stupid, retinue<>alone, etc.  

As a human being you are exploring the Darkside of the Creation, all that you are not in Essence.  This includes:  ignorance, no-power, problems, conflicts, poor results, failure, pain, suffering and evil. The Darkside has two bands of experience:  Drama and Evil. As we shall see, humans are exploring Evil.

The 5 Stages of the Human Experience

The Purpose of the Creation is EXPERIENCE. The Human Adventure is all about experience, particularly of the negative energy side of the Creation. The Human Theater has not just one act, but five, five stages, five different movies. Stages 1 and 2 are the exploration of the Darkside, Evil and Drama.  Stage 3 is Awakening.  Stage 4 is Enlightenment.  Stage 5 is Illumination.   

Stage 1 is the exploration of Evil

To understand Evil and to reach enlightenment, you must relinquish your current ideas about Evil and understand as we present it here and in Essentiality II. 

Evil is much more than what you might think. Evil is all forms of negative energy and actions; all that is unpleasant, painful, undesired, contra-productive, damaging, destructive. Evil is all human actions that are entropic: that reduce the energy, the order and organization, or the well-being of others.  It is all that increases disorder and chaos; that hurts, harms, damages or destroys. Evil is all actions that violate honesty, that fail or betray agreements, duties and responsibilities.  It includes lies, theft, fraud, corruption, and all war (no matter the justification).

Love unifies and harmonizes; Evil divides and creates conflict. It includes ignorance (avidya), neg-ego, rage, hate, destruction, prejudice, polarization, war, etc.  Evil includes mediocrity, clutter and disorder in our being, our life and results. It includes: irresponsibility, victim, self-sabotage, laziness, heaviness, depression, pessimism, all forms of darkness, heaviness and low productivity are Darkside. 

There are only two possibilities for every energy and action:  it is love, or it is the opposite: evil.  Everything you and everybody else does is one or the other:  love or evil.   Look at the planet:  we are swimming in Evil.  Watch the news:  much of it is about Evil. 

What the UHB does not understand is that Evil is not bad-SNB! 

  • Evil is the polar opposite of Essence, of Love. By the laws of polarity it must exist.
  • Nor would the Creation be complete and Perfect-13 without it.
  • Furthermore, Evil is a valid and rich experience in itself.
  • Further furthermore, you need to experience Evil to refresh your experience and appreciate your Essence
  • You came to Earth to explore Evil.

Essence–Love is the Creator of Evil (as She is of all that exists).  She creates Evil out of Herself, out of Love.  Evil is just another of Her infinite forms of expression of Her Self. 

She is Infinite Love and She loves Evil infinitely.  You do not love as Love loves until you love Evil as Love loves it.  You do not Return to BEing Love (Essence) until you love as Love loves, including Evil.  This is a teaching of Jesus who at his death continued to love despite the worst evil possible being done to Him. 

Resist Not Evil for Resistance Causes Persistence.  To use Evil (any form of negative energy) against Evil is like trying to put out a fire by pouring gasoline it.  You only succeed in putting more Evil into the world. 

Until you understand the above paragraphs, you do not understand God. 

Once each psycan has experienced enough Evil, he will tire of it and graduate to Stage 2. 

We have much more to say about Evil in Essentiality II, including how to eliminate it from the planet:  the World Transformation Project.  

Stage 2 of the Human Experience is Drama

Drama is all the rich experience, mostly negative, that we savor during a game, sport or movie (struggle to overcome obstacles). Drama includes: suspense, surprise, tension, doubt, dilemma, eagerness, expectation, impatience, anticipation, uncertainty, perplexity, confusion, indecisiveness, shock, problems, challenges, conflicts,  effort and struggle, difficulties, errors and mistakes, faults and failures, losing and winning, victory and defeat, and all the negative emotions: anger, anxiety, fear, guilt, resentment, hate, sadness, sorrow, regret, desire, depression, among others.[1]

The Purpose of the Creation is experience;Drama is rich, intense experience, especially when you are feeling your negative emotions (which you cannot experience in Essence).    Drama fulfills magnificently well the purpose of the Creation:  experience.  

Is your life Dramatic?   Then, good job!  You have what you came here for.   You can stay in Drama as long as you want, but eventually you-spirit will tire of it and want to go Home, back to Essence, to Light and Love and Joy.

[1] When Drama refers to the overall, grand concept as presented in the chapter, it will be spelled with a cap “D’. Small “d” is used when referring to a specific drama or one with only a few of the elements of Drama, as “She has a lot of drama in her marriage.”

Stage 3:  Awakening

Awakening is a transition stage between Drama and Enlightenment.  It starts with the Dark Night of the Old Soul  and then Search for a source of True Spirituality. 

You are awake when you are certain that there is something beyond man you can achieve AND you are working on yourself to achieve it.  Awakening is an unstable state.  If you do not work for enlightenment, you will fall back to sleep. 

The ESAE has a 4 day retreat in which the participant learns to perceive Essence and can commit to his enlightenment.  Thus awakening can be achieved easily. 

Stage 4:  Enlightenment

You are enlightened when: 

#1- You have discreated enough mass from your shell to perceive through your illusion of human being to your spiritual being and Essence.  Thus you recover your consciousness of yourself as spirit and now live in the “experience of psycan”, of being an immortal spiritual being just visiting Earth.   

#2- You can perceive, feel, Essence, the Tao, and communicate with Her. You live in the experience of Presence, Oneness, Vastness, Wisdom, Perfection, Beauty, Truth, Love, Peace and Joy.

There are many more characteristics of enlightenment such as creator power to manifest what you want in life, freedom of all negative emotions, freedom of Drama, all relationships are in harmony, serenity and love.  See the article "The Characteristics and Experiences of an Enlightened Being" for a long list of the characteristics of enlightenment. 

Stage 5:  Illumination

You are an illuminated or self-realized being when you release all individuality, all illusion of separation from the One.  You are pure Essence again.  This was the level of Buddha and Jesus and only 235 others since the beginning of history.  Illuminati are God walking the Earth in a human body.  If you speak to one, you are speaking directly to God (The Father and I are One.)

Because they are Essence, they have Absolute Power over the Creation (which is Essence) and can manifest anything instantly, calm storms, walk on water, turn it to wine, heal the crippled and blind, or raise the dead. We experience their Power as miracles, but they are just Essence being Essence. 

Illumination is optional. You can retain individuality if you choose, or return to individuality when you please and dive into the Creation for more adventures.   

How to Achieve Enlightenment

First step is to verify in your own experience the existence and omnipresence of Essence. The Essentiality School of Accelerated Enlightenment has procedures through which you can temporarily bypass your shell and feel Essence. Once you know that Essence exists, you have the classic “blue pill<>red pill” choice. You either commit to working on yourself to achieve enlightenment or you return to your human life without action; you will fall back into avidya (sleep), Drama and Evil.

There are 4 main areas of work:

1- Wisdom: You must acquire a substantial amount of knowledge and learn how the non-human Intelligence of Essence thinks and operates. She is quite foreign to human thinking. For example: evil not only is not bad, but it is a valid and necessary experience, part of Essence, and beloved by Essence. (Remember She is all things: She is both Love and Evil which is the polarity opposite of Love.)

2- Liberation: You must discreate the shell of energy, the cocoon, around you-consciousness that blocks your perception of Essence and produces your illusion of human being. The Being Transformation Technology is an exact system for liberation.

3- Re-Creation: Once you have eliminate negative identities and realities, you can create and install positive ones. You re-create your being in your ideal of Who You Want to Be: wise, creative, powerful, serene, loving, abundant and joyful. Think of Jesus and Buddha.

4- Ascension:  You are currently at the bottom, the south pole, of the Essence Polarity of Being, exploring the negative  characteristics of being. Through spiritual disciplines and practices as detailed in the Essentiality School of Accelerated Enlightenment,  you must ascend the Polarity of Being to return to  being the 13 Characteristics of Essence

Your spirituality is your degree of experience and expression of Essence, of Her 13 Characteristics.   Your daily experience of unity, love, happiness, power and abundance are proportional to your recovery of your Essence.

The Essentiality School of Accelerated Enlightenment

The ESAE offers a 5-year program of study and work on self which scientifically and surely produces enlightenment.  The program comprises 200+ weekly, online modules of knowledge, exercises, discreation processes, disciplines and practices, and several live retreats each year.  

Click here for more information on the School.

The 4th Stage of the Human Experience, the 4th Level of Consciousness is enlightenment. 

The Essentiality definition of enlightenment is very precise and comprises two conditions.  You are enlightened when: 

#1: You have discreated enough mass from your human identity complex to perceive through your illusion of human being.  Thus you recover your consciousness of yourself as spirit and now live in the “experience of psycan”, of being an immortal spiritual being just visiting Earth.  

I know of no way to transmit this experience with words, but it is a great, expanded awareness of self beyond time and space, of immortality, and of power to create. You feel enormous, powerful, loving, inspired, joyous. You operate your body and your human identity from your awareness of being immortal Aware-Will. You are now longer identified with your human identity. It is a toy; it is a tool.

You can retain whatever you wish of your human identity, but you know that it is not who you are; that it is only a complex of realities. You control it and re-create as if it were a computer program. You can install realities or remove them at will and thereby re-program your human experience. You re-create your human identity in your ideal of how you want it to be. You are also working on re-forming you-psycan in your highest ideal of who you want to be as a spiritual being, in the “image and likeness” of Essence (reference to Genesis).

#2: You can perceive, feel, Essence, the Tao, and communicate with Her. (I describe Her 13 Characteristics in detail in the book Essentiality II.)  You feel Presence, Oneness, Vastness, Wisdom, Perfection, Beauty, Truth, Love, Peace and Joy. You feel reconnected. You feel found. You feel Home; you have “arrived”. The searching and struggling of human existence ceases. You are at Peace-13. You can never be alone again; Essence is always there with you.

Secondary Characteristics of Enlightenment

Those two qualities about, experience of spiritual being and contact with Essence, are the essential experiences of enlightenment. There are many secondary ones (in no particular order): 

1. You recover your divine Wisdom You A because you know Who You Are. You know Who Others Are. You are beyond Drama, pain and suffering. You know how existence really works behind the Matrix, and if in doubt, you can consult Her Infinite Wisdom. You understand and live everything in this book and the much greater wisdom that is Essentiality.

2. You recover your divine Power to create and manifest. No longer are you in the illusion of effect and victim of life. You know you are the creator not only of your life, but at higher levels of your being, of the Creation  You use your Power to manifest what you need when you need it. You are free of the human obsession with material things, with security, with accumulation and hoarding. You live free of anxiety, worry, fear of loss of what you have. You always have enough.

3. Your experiences, your knowledge, your values, your goals, your behaviors are You are non-reactive to others and event. Your mind is silent and free of the human compulsion to judge and criticize everybody and everything, to polarize everything in good<>bad, should be<>should not be. You do not generate negative mental or negative emotional energy. You are serene and content all the time no matter what.

4. You no longer have negative emotions because you have discreated the true, underlying causes (identities). As these are the only pain and suffering that exist, you no longer suffer. You are non-reactive and transparent to others and the events of life. You live in serenity, peace and joy.

5. You are free of the External Quest for Happiness. You have no emotional need or dependency on others; no more compulsion to control them to be a certain way or have them treat you a certain way. (This is the source of 95% of all relationship conflicts.)  You are indifferent to success, fame, money, power, all the great human games. You may choose to have them or not, but you do not need them for happiness. You are happy all the time because you have contact with Essence, the only happiness that exists.

6. You are unattached. The arrival of anything “negative” to your life is no distress. The departure of anything “positive” to your life, including death of family, business failures, loss of money,  is no pain or suffering. Life is a movie, a parade of experiences. You are not a human lost in the movie, but an immortal, spiritual observer of the plot.

A Master of Life  (an enlightened being in relation to the human world as contrasted with his spirituality)  has only two modalities of operation. He enjoys the “positive” experiences that life presents him; and he learns and grows from the “negatives”. As he loves to learn and grow, there are no “negatives”.

7. You are able to discreate negative energy, negative emotions, thoughts and identities. You are already mostly free of these, but if a negative energy comes in on your consciousness, you simple discreate it.

8. You feel your Infinite Value and that of all others because it is the Value of Essence You know the Truth of all beings that there is no more or less in the One. You are grounded in Humility and the equality of all beings. Nobody can make you feel less, and you do not feel more or better than anyone else (knowing that better<>worse is neg-ego and a characteristic of evil). You understand why Humility is the gateway to Unity, to Essence.

9. Simplicity of being. You are honest and sincere. You have no need to impress anybody; you have no masks or pretensions, are not ostentatious. You have no need to attract attention or recognition (unless that is part of your Mission). You live without complications and without Drama. Your happiness is your connection with Essence, not physical things.

10. You are transparent. Transparency is the beginning of Love. The negative energies, slights and attacks of others flow through you meeting no resistance. You may respond, but you do not react. Thus, you live in serenity and tranquility, in Peace-13.

11. Freedom, Liberty. You have liberated all the negative energy in the human identity complex. You have freed yourself of the many negative energies the UHB hauls around: baggage such as negative emotions, regrets, resentments, of the glories, sorrows and pain of past; of failures, shame, guilt, blaming others, traumatic incidents. You are free of anxiety, worry and fear about the future. You live in present time, in the Eternal Now.

12. You are free of programs both about yourself and about others. You have no demands or expectation of others or the world about how they should or should not be, what they should or should not do. You can see social and cultural programming and chose to follow it or not. Nor do you bow to the programs and intents to control you of others. You live free; you live your life as you chose to live it. You feel the Liberty innate to your spiritual Essence.

13. Compassion and kindness. You see all your brother psycans so enjoying their avidya and movies on one level, and on another, caught up their human identity, games and drama. You understand how they are trapped in their victim and dramas and some in suffering—without getting caught up in their dramas. You can see exactly how they are creating their problems and conflicts. You know the solutions to their problems but respect their choice for drama by applying the Law of Three Times (see box)  . You understand, with compassion, their human pain and suffering, and you can see exactly how they are creating it. But you know they created their movie that way; that there are no victims, no accidents, no coincidences. You know that most are not ready for Awakening but will come to it in their time, and probably not in this lifetime. You feel gratitude for your own awakening.

14. Your relationships are all and always in positive energy and free of all drama. You have evaluated every relationship in terms of energy exchange and eliminated the energies that are not compatible with you. If you want a romantic relationship, you simply manifest it and it is always the ideal person for you at that period in your life (no drama about finding the “right” person). You do not have to expend TE to meet the person; it happens naturally and you can feel the spiritual affinity. Likewise, when it is time for a relationship to end, you have no attachment and let it go in gratitude for the experience lived.

15. As you can feel Essence, Infinite Wisdom, Power and Love, with you, you have a total trust and confidence in the unfolding of life. You know that the ultimate salvation and happiness of everyone is assured. You know earth is a theater and life is a movie. You see the magnificence of the illusion. You know you have a life script and that everything is under control by Higher Wisdom. You can feel the Perfection and Magnificence of the Creation, of how it all works. You are in astounded awe of the Wisdom and Power that creates it all and controls the backstage so we can live our movies.

16. Life is a parade of experiences. You have transcended the human hallucination of good<>bad. You have no resistance to negative events; in fact, there are no negative events; just the universe unfolding with a kaleidoscope of options of experience. On never resisting the negatives of life, you do not suffer. (Suffering is resistance to pain.)

17. You know of your mission for this life; your agreement with Essence before you came. Just as humans have their goals, so too does Essence have plans and goals for humanity. She has a plan for a Transformation of Consciousness on the planet to usher in a Golden Age of awakening, love, cooperation, abundance, and expansion for all. Above all, She has a promise to bring us all Home from our expedition into Darkness. Nobody came to samsara for all eternity. Enlightened, you participate with and serve Love in Her greater plans for humanity. The more you serve, the more Love you become. While She can obtain any result from anybody at any time, She prefers to work through enlightened Masters of Life who consciously serve Her.

Lives in 1.5 dimensions of experience: that of a human being in avidya.
Materialism: the physical universe, mind and emotion is all he knows.

His spirituality is limited to dogmas and doctrines of churches and religions. Has little real knowledge and even less experience of true spirituality.

Lives is many kinds of fear: pain, sickness, losing joy, losing money or property, not having enough (of whatever), losing loved ones, old age.

Death is bad, even tragic. Lives in fear of all kinds especially of death, both of loved ones and of self.
Suffers when loved ones die.

Believes himself at the effect of forces and of accident and randomity. Feels often powerless to control his life. Lives in Games Conditions and Drama. Has to struggle to manifest what he wants and often fails. Things are scarce; must hold on to them.

Anxiety, worry, fear.

Fear and Greed: Is driven by fear of not having enough or loss of what he has, and by greed for more and more and more; it’s never enough.

Is driven by negative ego. Everyone is either better or worse, more or less, than himself. Uses masks, pretensions, bragging, one-upmanship, trying to convince others of superiority. Struggles to climb in hierarchies. Compulsion to peacock and ostentate.

Life is deadly serious and you only have one. Life is about scarcity in one area or another: health, success, money, love or happiness. Life is full of tragedies and suffering.

External Quest for Happiness: seeks happiness by trying to control the externals of his life: relationships, events and situations, and striving to obtain the material things that appear to cause happiness.

Life is emotionally painful: anger, anxiety, worry, stress, fear, guilt, sadness, loneliness, depression, etc. Activations of negative emotions are frequent and sometimes long lasting.

Struggles to avoid his triggers for such pain, even attacking others to not-do what he does not like.

Life is full of evil and many bad people, things and events that should not be. Lives in resistance and aversion to many things, which negative energies are his own pain.

Selfish: “Me and mine, no matter the needs of others”.   Materialistic. There is no end to his desire (greed) for more and more and more.

Relationships are full of problems, conflicts, discussions, anger, resentment, guilt, you-owe-me’s, domination, manipulation.

Emotional attachment to others and to things.
Loss of anything causes him pain.

Has many addictions: alcohol, tobacco, food (ergo overweight or anorexic) tranquilizers, drugs, cell phone, social media, sex, retail therapy, to name a few.

Seek ease and comfort over excellence.
Often lazy and irresponsible.

Lies, cheats, steals, defrauds, practices corruption, nepotism, and cronyism.

Is a source of much negative energy even while professing to love the other person: anger, invalidation, demands for change, intent to control, dominate or manipulate.

Carries a past full of negative, even traumatic events, and of resentment, even hate. Believes the past shapes and limits him and he has limited capacity to change.

Often has poor food habits (e.g. junk food) and insufficient exercise. Frequently is sick and may have major health problems.

Always wants to recognized, credited and acclaimed for all he does. Flees responsibility when things go wrong.
 Blames and complains.

An SEB operates as a ninja in life. He does not seek to be recognized, much less fame (unless he has a Mission that requires it). He acts with love to produce positive results for self and world and tries to be gone before anyone even realizes he was there.

His or her Essence is perceptible and impacts the people around him so they ask and are motivated to start their own process of Awakening.

This table gives you some idea of the life of an enlightened being. The difference to the life of a normal human being is night and day: neg-energy, poor results, drama and pain; versus wisdom, power, results, love and joy.

Enlightenment is a permanent awakening from the dream, the illusion, that you are only a human being. Enlightened, you live in the moment to moment experience you are an immortal spiritual entity. You perceive and communicate with Essence, Infinite Wisdom, Power, and Love-Joy. With that Wisdom and Power, you are able to manifest what you want and are no longer in Game Conditions and Drama. You create your human life as you wish it to be. At the same time you are free of the External Quest for happiness; you depend emotionally on nothing external and are happy all the time. Where the human being lives in only 1. 5 dimensions of experience – the physical and poorly perceived psycanic (mind and emotion)-the enlightened being lives with clarity in all 3 dimensions: physical, psycanic and Essential.

What will you see when you meet an enlightened being?  Nothing out of the ordinary.  He still has a human body. He still has consciousness, will, intelligence, just like everyone else. “When the pickpocket meets the saint, all he sees are his pockets”. This is a Hindu saying meaning that a person of lower conscious does not  perceive the level of spirituality of a being above his own.  Jesus was beyond enlightened; he was illuminati, and even so, not everybody liked him.  

An enlightened being can look “down” on Stage 2 and see psycans asleep and enchanted with their dramas; but a Stage 2 being cannot look “up” at a Stage 4 being and understand his level of consciousness, his knowledge, his outlook on like. A Stage 2 person has no reference for Stage 4 other than the legends of religions. It would be like a blind person trying to understand colors; or a dead person to understand music. To recognize that a person is enlightened, you would have to observe and deal with him for sufficient time to perceive his wisdom, see his power, integrity, simplicity, serenity and compassion.

The Spectrum of Enlightenment

Enlightenment is not a one-point state. It is a spectrum of intensity of its experiences that runs from the experiences being partial, weak and some of the time; to being so strong, so much Love and Joy (like a sexual orgasm) that you have to use will to remain focused in the physical universe.

As you approach the upper end of enlightenment which is Illumination, not only has your human identity dissipated completely, but your entire individuality (psycan) will flash off and on. You have moments of complete merger into the One, moments of illumination.

A psycan (the spiritual being that you are) will progress through Stages 1 and 2 (Evil and Drama) before he will tire of the Human Experience and want to go Home to Love. The entire cycle of human incarnations is 500 to 700 lifetimes. To be human is to be trapped in the being shell of evil and drama, in avidya and darkness, in a body and matter, in pain and suffering; in short, in samsara. For a being whose nature is Essence, Light, Power, Love and Joy, samsara is a heavy and dark experience. Eventually, the psycan is weary of the Darkside and longs for Home. The experience of that weariness of the Human Game expresses as the symptoms of the Dark Night of the Old Soul, also known as the Old Soul Syndrome.

The mere fact that you are reading this information with a positive interest is an indicator that you are ready for enlightenment; people still in Evil and Drama will not find their way here and the mere idea of enlightenment will appear to them ridiculous. Even occasional flashes of the following symptoms is certainty. The symptoms will get worse if you-human ignore them and take no action to recover your True Being.

Do you have any of these symptoms of the Dark Night of the Old Soul?

1. Do you sometimes feel life is empty or meaningless—despite your material success?  

2. Do you sometimes feel, “There has got to be something more?”

3. Do you long to be much happier and more fulfilled than you are now, but don’t know how to achieve it?

4. Do you ever ask yourself the Philosopher’s Questions: Who am I? Why do I exist? Where do I come from? Why am I here? Where am I going? What does it all mean?

5. Do you find that the old, the traditional or the religious, answers to these questions no longer satisfy you?

6. Do you sometimes feel tired and weary of living, even though you have no big problems?

7. Do you sometimes experience anxiety, frustration, desperation, or depression about life for no apparent reasons?

8. Does life sometimes feel dark and heavy?  

9. Do you ever feel trapped in life, or your body, or your human identity, or in matter itself?

10. Do you sometimes feel alone and isolated from others? Do the interests and goals of others leave you uninspired?

11. Do you no longer so easily lose yourself in chasing the pleasures or values of the world?

12. Do you sometimes feel you have lost something important, or it is far away, even unreachable?

13. Have you felt sadness, longing, or melancholy for something that was long ago?  

14. Do you ever feel you are far from home, or far from Love, or from happiness?

15. Are you realizing that no matter how much more money, things or experiences you accumulate in life, it will never be enough: that nothing material will every satisfy the emptiness within you?

16. Do you desire to experience spiritual things you have read about with such authors as Carlos Castaneda, Deepak Chopra, Neale D. Walsch, Richard Bach, Eckart Tolle, Robin Sharma?

If you have answered YES to some of these questions:

That is good news. The Symptoms are signs you are tiring of the Human Experience, of avidya and drama, and are ready to awaken and go Home, back to Essence, to Love and Joy. More good news is: you are within one or two lifetimes of doing so if you work at it. Awakening, enlightenment, illumination are very quick (one or two lifetimes) compared to the 500+ lifetimes in Stages 1 and 2.

We-spirits come to Earth to play and experience the Human Adventure. You have been through hundreds of incarnations in a human identity and body and so have explored most of the variations of human experiences. You have been rich<>poor, king<>slave, nun<>prostitute, warrior<>priest, black skin<>white skin, gay<>hetero, healthy<>sickly, and many more. You have died young and old, burned, crucified, tortured, crushed, drowned, in prison, of starvation, of painful diseases; and sometimes in your bed; you have explored every possibility. You have loved and hated; been greedy and generous; cruel and magnanimous; haughty and humble; wise and stupid; evil and loving: everything possible. You have savored it all

But, sooner or later, after so far and so long from Love-Joy; you-spirit are tired of physicality and ready to go Home, to return to “heaven” whence you come.

Psychology calls these symptoms an “existential” or the “mid-life” crisis. However, it is much deeper and grander than that: your symptoms are spiritual awakening and birthing pains.

The Dark Night is the beginning of Stage 3, Awakening. It is your spirit knocking on the doors of your human identity and seeking to be known and attended to. Your Higher Self is telling you it is time to meet its needs, needs you have relegated because of your concentration on your worldly activities. Your spirit is telling you-human it is time for you to awaken from physicality and return to spirituality.

You are in physicality when your primary focus is on satisfying the material needs and desires of your human identity and your body. Spirituality is an ever-increasing focus on the non-physical parts of your life, on your inner world of mind, emotion, and, above all, spirit. (Your spirit is a multi-component, non-physical, Life-Energy complex that includes the characteristics of Consciousness, Intelligence, Creativity, Will, Power, Love and Joy.)

As you-spirit tire of materiality, you will tire of human games, goals and values. Your human existence, previously fascinating, becomes less and less interesting and unsatisfactory. The external world becomes dry and tasteless and meaningless—to force you to seek greener pastures within, to turn to the sweetness of the wisdom, power, beauty, love, and joy that is within you. In true Spirituality, you must go ever deeper within. A great teacher said it clearly: “The Kingdom of Heaven is within. Seek First the Kingdom of Heaven. What does it serve you to gain the whole world if you never find your soul?”

When you experience the Symptoms, your spirit is signaling you to establish a new balance between your focus on your external, physical world, and your focus in your spirituality. Your awakening self will pull you forward with the existential questions and push you with dissatisfactions, emptiness, and even frustration and desperation. The Dark Night is a time of suffering. The old you is burning away so that a new you, a more spiritual you, can be born. The Dark Night grows over many lifetimes; growing stronger in each one. In any lifetime, it can last years. It fades away as you find the Light and develop it in you. Spirituality is the only real solution to the Dark Night.

The Dark Night will push you into the next step which is Search. Driven by the pain of the Dark Night, and by intuition, the person searches for answers, for a solution. If he has a religion, he becomes dissatisfied and seeks elsewhere. If he has not a religion, he may investigate religions. He may deviate into philosophy, occultism or esotericism. He will investigate teachers and schools. He must find a source of True Spirituality.

If you want to awakening and achieve your enlightenment, you need a source of True Spirituality. For that you must be clear what that is and how to identify a True Source; there are many more false prophets on the planet than there are True Sources.
