Birth of the SEA Sanctuary
by Patricia Hayes


One of the delights and purpose of Self-Enlightenment is to reveal the joy of the Infinite which is the joy of Love.  It is beautifully expressed in the Chandogya Upanishad:

Chandogya Upanishad

Where there is creation there is progress.  

Where there is no creation there is no progress:

Know the nature of creation.

Where there is joy there is creation.  

Where there is no joy there is no creation:

Know the nature of joy.

Where there is the Infinite there is joy.  

 

All true progress is an inner creation that leads to the joy of the Infinite.

When in the progress of our soul our God of Love has been

found then the words of the Sufis come true:

 

In this world I feel joyful because He is the source of joy;

 I am in love with all creation because He is the Creator.

I shall drink with joy the cup of sorrow because my Beloved is the cup-bearer:

I will bear pain with gladness, because through Him, I shall be healed.

 -- Sadi 1193-1291

In our ascension on the path of Self-Enlightenment, we progress to establish a greater depth of Love and Devotion to God. We all know how important connections and links are in our world.  The Internet has shown us that we can be immediately linked with any kind of knowledge and information that we want. Many of us keep our favorite websites on our window for immediate access.

The computer is a great instrument because it teaches us that, if we have a thought and begin searching, the answer is in front of us in moments.  The computer helps us to see that thought and action can be one movement. This teaches us to believe in and know the power of our thought.  In the same way, on the journey of Self-Enlightenment, we keep a constant awareness of “God” in the search engine of our heart and mind and connect and commune often. This continual attunement with Spirit inspires the flow of genius within us and inspires contentment, joy and a flow of intuitive messages.  As we continue to progress on our path, our Love and Devotion to God expands and deepens. Because of the depth of our Love and Devotion, we will choose to forever keep our connection and intimate feeling of Oneness with God open. How will we know it is really open?  It is easy to open a website when we’ve saved it on our windows, we just click and its there. We no longer have to search. We are able to connect with God with the same simplicity and ease through our Love and Devotion. Our connection with Spirit is close to our conscious awareness.  We live our physical life being connected to our spiritual life.

Return to Self within and know your own secret!

The universe is inside you and you are inside the universe.

The inner Self is the One dancing in all.

 The One who is here

And the One who is there.

-- Nityananda

We are already connected with God, we only have to become consciously aware of it. In our meditations, we choose to focus solely on our spiritual life and for the purpose of enhancing and bringing greater peace and joy into our daily life. The Avatars that and higher spiritual beings that commune, guide and inspire in our meditations equally inspire us to create greater love and harmony in our physical life.  As we progress on the path of Enlightenment, we begin to realize that we’re not going anywhere just because we are enlightened. We are not dissolving because we feel incredible states of Oneness with God.  Rather, we know that we are able to create the same incredible states of Oneness with Mother Earth; a wonderful planetary being that supports our life force.  Through our newly found feelings of Oneness, we see Mother Earth in new Light and are able to tap into all the goodness and plenty she has to offer us on our journey.

It is important to understand and know that the love of God for His/Her creations is the same love of creation that moves your soul and the soul of the great artists, writers and musicians.  When we are moved by our soul to ascend to illumined dimensions of mind and our own Self-Enlightenment, we are creating pathways of Self-Enlightenment for others thus assisting in the process of man’s enlightenment.  We are lovers of God’s creation and certainly lovers of the act of creating all that is good and beautiful.  

Discovering and Knowing your Spiritual Purpose

Knowing the purpose of why you are doing something is all important.  In Divine revelation, the purpose is not always revealed to you in the beginning.  However, when it is revealed to you, the energy of a thousand suns is added unto your mission.  I would like to share with you the spiritual birth of The SEA Sanctuary

In September of 2004, after a series of medical problems for almost a year including a four hour operation, I was at an all time low.  I had a titanium plate inserted between my fifth and sixth vertebrae as a result of an accident. I have been fortunate to be extremely healthy all of my life. Several days after my operation my son Sterling came to Florida to be with me as Marshall was scheduled to teach Spiritual Anatomy at Delphi University.  He didn’t want me to be alone.  When Sterling arrived, he, as Marshall had, began giving me in-depth healing treatments which included massage with aromatherapy oils for an hour each day.  I can’t tell you how much better my body and mind felt a week later when Marshall returned. I guess I had expected to be totally back to my normal state of health right away. However, every time I tried to work in my garden, I was in bed the next day because my body was so sore. The recuperation time was longer than I had expected and my three middle fingers on both hands were still numb as they were before the operation.  

Out of the ashes, the Phoenix rises.  I began to see my normal inspired self in the distance.  I still couldn’t go into deep meditations so my spiritual friends came to me through my inner and spiritual senses. They began communication through encouraging and thanking me for the spiritual work that Marshall and I had done through the founding and development of Delphi University.  They lifted my vision from my suffering eye to my Divine Eye and restored my awareness of the many methods of Purification and Ascension processes that I had channeled over the years.  They reiterated the fact that all of these processes, such as RoHun, Yhandi and Ancient Mystery teachings were taught at Delphi University. They continued to nourish me with their love. They reflected images of the early beginnings of my spiritual work.   I remembered The Frank Labauch Literacy Program, an enrichment program that taught adults who never had the opportunity to learn to read.  “Each One Teach One” was their motto. My friends reminded me that many individuals that I have touched through my spiritual work have gone on to touch and inspire healing in many people through having their own spiritual practice. Then, my spiritual friends, revealed the greater purpose of their visitations.

Helping people to develop teaching and healing skills so that they can help others is only part of your spiritual purpose on Earth.  Where are the Devotees, they asked. They next directed me to reread the Bhavaghad Gita.  I have a copy interpreted by Stephen Mitchell and opened it randomly to page 193 where Lord Krishna was speaking to his faithful devotee Arjuna:  

By devotion he comes to realize the meaning of my infinite vastness; when he knows who I truly am, he instantly enters my being.  Relying on me in his actions and performing them for my sake, he reaches, by my great kindness, the eternal, unchanging place.  Give up all actions to me; love me above all others; steadfastly keep your mind focused on me alone.  

I have always deeply loved both Krishna and Christ.  It had nothing to do with my early schooling at a nearby convent or my extensive study of Eastern philosophy as a young adult.   I was not Catholic but my parents wanted me to have a good education. I spent my early school years with The Sisters of Divine Providence in the north hills of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and attended various protestant churches in our local area on Sundays. I was never moved by the dogma of any church or religious organization but I always knew Christ and Krishna were within my heart. Christ and Krishna are titles having the same spiritual connotation; Jesus the Christ and Yadava the Krishna identify the state of consciousness manifested by these two illumined beings; their incarnate oneness with the consciousness of God Omnipresent in creation. The universal Christ Consciousness or Kutastha Chaitanya, Universal Krishna Consciousness, is the only begotten son or undistorted reflection of God permeating every atom and point of space in the manifested cosmos. Their consciousness is universal and their light radiates to the world.

I was soon to have a series of direct spiritual and mystical experiences that would have a profound effect on the rest of my life. The Spirit of Christ as well as Krishna, Buddha and the Divine Mother profoundly quickened within me. They and my spiritual friends impressed me with spiritual direction and concepts throughout a three month period. They communicated through visions almost continually. The visions took place during the day as well as being awaked during the night. I was blessed to have many direct experiences of Samadhi: states of Oneness while working intimately with each Avatar. I experienced the Indivisible Whole as well as many higher spiritual dimensions where spiritual beings were gathering for the purpose of calling all to Self-Enlightenment. They called this gathering The Brotherhood of Suns. Over this period of time, my spiritual friends channeled lessons and specific meditations to be taught through Self-Enlightenment Correspondence Courses and  with the assistance of a mentor.  And then, to my surprise, they introduced The SEA Sanctuary and The University of Self-Knowledge; the educational branch of the Sanctuary.  They emphasized that this would be a teaching program and Sanctuary like no other.  Because Self-Enlightenment is dependent on having direct experience with God, The Avatars and other spiritual beings stated that they would be the Heart and Head of the new Sanctuary. They would guide, teach and inspire spiritual aspirants that were committed to the journey of Self-Enlightenment.

The University; the educational branch of The Sanctuary  is a school of the New Day, as they explained.  It would incorporate the wisdom and sacred  teachings of Buddha, Christ, Krishna and The Divine Mother. They explained that The SEA Sanctuary was a sacred gathering of Suns to usher forth the ascended consciousness of The New Day.  Each Avatar would participate intimately with students that gathered for the purpose of Self-Enlightenment.  The new Sanctuary was to be somewhere on the grounds of Delphi.

Needless to say, it was an incredible spiritually active time. The Avatars were providing the future direction of my life.  I was given explicit instructions on the purpose and direction of The Self-Enlightenment Correspondence Courses and The SEA Sanctuary that would complete the whole of Delphi.  The Avatars emphasized that the website of The SEA Sanctuary would reach, inspire and spiritually motivate people worldwide.

 When the news of the upcoming Sanctuary was announced, rumors echoed. I heard that there couldn’t possibly be time for anything new. The responsibilities at Delphi were far too many. There wouldn’t be time.  The shadows fought hard against the new Light to be. I learned a long time ago never say never. Fortunately Divine inspiration has always held my attention above rumors. I also know the law of aerodynamics: The same movement of air that causes lift also causes drag that resists lift.  I know that when you are lifting to a new and ascended level of spiritual expression, there will be equal forces of resistance that create drag to keep you grounded and bound to the senses and earth.  Fortunately, because we are familiar with this law, we increased our spiritual thrust to birth our new mission; The SEA Sanctuary.

We have been blessed with many individuals that have pledged and dedicated their spiritual and physical support. They have committed through their inspirations and pledged their love and the necessary financial blessings to complete the reconstruction needs of our beautiful new Sanctuary. Our spiritual friends had strongly emphasized that the financial and spiritual support could not come through the effort of one or two individuals as in the manner we had built Delphi University. They stated that it must be founded through a co-operative effort of many individuals. The individuals would be attracted to participate solely because of their love and devotion to God. They also expressed that we did not need to worry or be stressed in any way because the exact and perfect individuals would be brought together for the birthing of our new center for Self-Enlightenment. They were/  

The Suns are gathering. The Suns will radiate the rays of the new life force for mans ascension to The New Day. We invite you to join us in the ascension to Cosmic Time and Self-Enlightenment.
