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 of your mission. 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 Self-Enlightenment Correspondence Program and our Sanctuary.

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 spiritual 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 they 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 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 correspondence teaching program 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 path of Self-Enlightenment.

The University; the educational branch of The SEA 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 the Sanctuary would be a sacred space dedicated to usher forth the ascended consciousness of The New Day. Each Avatar would participate intimately with students that gathered therefore the purpose of spiritual retreat and enlightenment. The new Sanctuary was to be somewhere on the grounds of Delphi.

I was given explicit instructions on the purpose and direction of The Self-Enlightenment Correspondence Courses and The Sanctuary that would complete the whole of Delphi. The Avatars emphasized that the website of The SEA Sanctuary would reach, inspire and spiritually motivate individuals 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 University 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 Self-Enlightenment Correspondence Program and 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. 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.

Enlightenment is a passionate adventure! It's all about you. You are the person of the coming years. Our World needs You to help make it a greater place to live. The garden of the world has no limits except in your mind. I invite you to join with us in bringing greater Light and Wisdom in this new day.

In love and Light,
