to invest in your life.
CONSCIOUS CREATION
We create our own reality. This statement has been one of the most popular—and most misunderstood—teachings in the New Age. But the truth it expresses is fundamental to spiritual development. We are creative beings, and our minds are powerful. What we create in our minds shapes our experience of the world, and even the world itself.
It all hinges on your perception—how you see yourself, your situations, and the world you are living in. A person who sees herself as a desirable and successful person in a world of opportunities is going to create around herself a reality that’s very different from the reality of a person who thinks of himself as a failure in a world intent on beating him down. Your perception shapes your thinking, your thinking shapes the way you act, the way you act affects the people around you; and it is all reflected back to you.
HOLISTIC LIVING
Throughout the previous levels, I focused on sustaining and cultivating the inner life of soul development. You have learned that inner attention, when focused correctly, develops your capacities for self-knowledge and communion with the Divine. In this level, you express those spiritual dynamics outward in order to create a lifestyle aligned with your renewed sense of being. In this way, you become a clear channel of divine expression. Once you establish a bond with the Divine, you are meant to express that divinity, to become a channel of peace, and to share your light with others.
DIVINE ONENESS
The previous levels of spiritual growth led you toward a single goal: to be at one with yourself, the divine presence, and everything around you. This is the experience of oneness, of being completely in sync with the sacred energy of the universe. Oneness happens when the real you—your higher self—is fully present at every moment, and when your mind, body, emotions, soul, spirit, and psyche are all in unison with the Divine.
These stages manifest differently for each person. Not everyone goes through them in the same order. And more importantly, once you pass through one “stage” and into another, you aren’t necessarily finished with the earlier one. You can be well into the sixth stage but still have to deal with issues you thought you had mastered in the fourth stage. In other words, the stages might be simultaneous. The elements contain lifelong lessons that you will continue to experience from time to time. It’s important to remember that spiritual growth is not a contest to be won. You become more and more conscious on many different levels throughout your life. The universe is a vast array of spiritual wisdom that is hidden in every cosmic molecule of life.
Perhaps many of you who are perusing these levels have been nodding your head in alignment to your truth; every soul that opens to its spiritual nature begins the process of these seven levels of consciousness. This new work takes you even further into the co-creative process as a conscious spiritual being. We are truly in the age of accepting the sovereign role of becoming a Master of Light.
FINAL THOUGHTS
It takes great courage to take the first step on your spiritual journey. It takes even greater courage to continue to experience your spiritual journey. This book is about living your spiritual journey and embodying your role as a true spiritual catalyst while also activating your spiritual power. As you can agree now in 2013, we are still here on the earth. There is obviously more to be done. 2012 was simply an open door into another level of evolutionary consciousness for this planet. The role of this book is to encourage perceiving your life from within while reducing perceptions that are focused “out there.” Our empowerment and our perceptions are fed from the energy vibrating within us. Understanding our inner energy changes the way we look at everything in our lives.
Throughout this work, I will include invocations and prayers to help you awaken the deeper spiritual powers that you will be reading about. When we absorb the knowledge of any spiritual work, the use of prayer and invocations while we study can call forth the wisdom enveloped in the teachings. Each chapter will be a subject unto itself. I find that distinct chapters and subjects make it easy for the reader to flip to different topics in order to revisit their message. I have also included recommended books and resources throughout this book to help further your studies and spiritual education. Enjoy the journey—awaken, transform, and magnify!

The New Golden Age: Becoming Masters of Light
There is absolutely no doubt that we are experiencing a new and more dynamic dimension of reality, but we must fully realize that this shift—this change—is manifesting through us. We are the Shift and we are the New Earth.
News flash! 2012 has come and gone and we are still living in the present time. It’s funny how that happened. Yes, we are still here; and aliens did not come to earth to beam us up to a fantasized, “holier-than-thou,” new age earth plane. Our planet did not blow up like a ticking time bomb, no matter what Hollywood tried to portray. We are here because we still have work to do. We exist to help with the spiritual evolution of our global mind by the conscious use of our spiritual and psychic power. We are here because we are stepping into our new role of being ministers of light. If you are reading this book, you are one of the cherished souls chosen to help in this holy quickening.
LIVING LIFE IN THE NEW GOLDEN AGE
We are living at an incredible time; there is no doubt about that. This is a sacred time where the cosmos takes a sigh of deep, peaceful release, and we are imbued with its nourishment and well-being. Speaking “energetically,” we are rising higher in our thought patterns and vibrations. This high vibrational living is the new wave of a more holistic lifestyle that is essential for us to incorporate on a daily basis. Meditation, prayer, and inner attunement are as indispensable as drinking water. I have always taught my students and clients the importance of keeping the physical body in shape and exercising the spiritual body, as well. This new era of our spiritual existence is asking us to embody our spiritual nature as a priority in everything we do. Luckily, as conscious souls, we understand the new spiritual dynamics of healthy living, healthy thinking, and healthy relationships. I won’t bore you with more details, as there are many books in the new age market that delve into those subjects. Honestly, by now, you should have gotten the memo! I want to take you a step farther. Again, we are focusing more on spiritual humanitarianism here and less on what can I create, what can I acquire, and who can I attract as an individual? It’s “we” time.
MASTERS OF LIGHT
I’m going to take another bold step at this time. I like doing that often; it keeps my readers on their toes. I’m asking for you to accept a new role. This is a role that takes great courage, backbone, and guts. I assume that if you have read this far and have not yet asked for a refund on this book, you are willing. For the past several years, the global mind has been infused with teachings about the creation of your own reality and the law of attraction. This wonderful progression for the awakening of our planet has taken us only so far. Now, the bold step is to fully understand what creating your reality is truly about. The proper phrase in the New Golden Age is co-creating your reality. You can’t co-create without a creative source. That Source is God. Call it what you will—the Universe, Divine Love, or Great Spirit—it is still the very essence of creation. We are temples for this creative spark. Through the teachings of the law of attraction, we were able to partially tap into our creative ability—but only partially. We learned that thoughts are truly things and that with enough intention we could set the stage for what we want.
