The spiritual path is one you must walk every day of your life. But know always that you do not walk alone. When you set your feet on the true path, you are protected, loved and guided by those in the upper realms who have been with you, helping you to bring the inner into the outer expression. They are there for guidance at all times, if you will, but just stop for one second and ask for help.

This journey will be lifelong. There is much adjustment necessary in the exoteric life once the esoteric life begins to come through. The biggest area of concern for those going into the new consciousness is in handling day to day affairs. The true path will always demand a steadfast outer life, but there is a period gone through ahead of that when the contact is being made with the inner life that is very much like being in quicksand, if you will. The balance is difficult to find. Those whose physical forms are in good shape and balanced, will find this period much easier to get through.

Spiritual progress has been slow and spiritual teachings need to be updated again to keep pace with the evolutionary progress made by humanity. This is why the seven new concepts have been given. These are:
* Energy Use
* Love Divine
* Group Consciousness
* Christ Consciousness
* God Within
* Forgiveness Divine
* One With God

1. Energy Use
Humanity needs to understand much more about energy vibrations, because this is the one great influence on everything in the universe. Humanities' understanding of how energy vibrations work is comparable to a kindergarten student's conception of how the atomic bomb works. Energy hits the earth at a set rate of seven waves per second. Water hits the beach about one wave per thirty seconds. Imagine it at seven per second. You can't even mentally count to seven in one second. It is a faster current of air washing continuously over earth. This cannot be felt. It is not like a breeze or wind. It has a pulsing motion like a heart pumping blood. The pulsations are fast enough that they form a steady rhythm that is not sensed or felt, but nevertheless is there. This rhythm influences everything on the planet. Any pollutants on the surface block these pulsations and affect everything in nature including humans.

2. Love Divine
Love Divine is divine inspiration working at its highest level. If one does not have an open mind to wonder and expand his thinking, then this one will never truly know and be able to express Love Divine. What this one is feeling is of the lower nature, a sense of ownership and jealously holding another in emotional bondage. This is not love. It cannot be, as it has no spiritual substance behind it. The word love itself is inadequate to define the feeling that rises up unexpectedly in one when in direct communication with another, either on the earth plane or the inner planes. This feeling is of oneness with that other; of there being no separation into two different bodies, but just a total oneness. It is a far superior feeling than what most think of as love. Love Divine is one of the new concepts for all to aspire to. If this stage is not reached, most other new attitudes will be unattainable, such as Group Consciousness.

3. Group Consciousness
Even though individual development will be stressed in the future, Group Consciousness will be very important. When a whole group is developing together and is in harmony with each other, the force field is very strong. When one throws bad thoughts into the group and produces separated vibrations, the force field is weakened. By having a strong force field, a group can accomplish things that a single individual cannot accomplish on his own. Making individual development important will make the group development greater. Many people put themselves down constantly. They must be taught that they are a complex manifestation and reflection of the creator and must act as such at all times In other words, stronger individuals will make for stronger groups.

4. Christ Consciousness
Christ Consciousness is misunderstood. The Christ Consciousness is not love, affection, light, grace, or any of the other labels attached to it in the minds of humanity at this time. It is a "state of energy" so powerful that anything can be manifested at any time by those achieving this state. Jesus acquired the Christ Consciousness and He was able to tap into the higher realms. When one receives the Christ Consciousness, it is not a sudden happening like an explosion, but rather a daily, steady progress on the path. The golden rule needs to be applied at all times to all situations. The Christ Consciousness is a state of mind that needs to try always to raise others to his level. He cannot be pulled down to theirs. The feeling of one who achieves the Christ Consciousness should be of worth and understanding and care and concern for all with whom they are in daily contact. For those they meet not quite as often, it should be as a light shining out from them that warms others and draws them near and makes them curious as to what your secret for life is.

5. God Within
The Bible is a history book. It must be brought into the present to be applicable today. Do doctors still use bleeding and other outdated methods? Are farms still plowed with oxen or homes lighted with oil lamps? As progress has been made in all other areas of human lives, why can't humanity accept progress in the one thing that is most important to their very beings? The problems facing humanity today are growing daily as far as religious differences are concerned. It is becoming almost a farce, a comedy of errors, so to speak. Our dear heavenly Father is the same one, only wearing many different faces and costumes to many different denominations. If they could only see him in his beauty and simplicity, then they, themselves, would become beautiful and simplistic. Don't they realize the more they worship him, the more they adorn him in robes and worshipful ideas, that they are doing this to the God Within? What a trap this is! The whole thing boils down to the fact that humanity doesn't see that God is within each person and by putting Him on fancy throne way out in space, that they have lost touch with Him. He is the soul of each one of them. Each one hears his master's voice inside himself. It is that tiny small voice that is the hardest to hear. This is why meditation is so very important. This is when the tiny voice gets through, when all activity and noise and other outside stimuli are stilled.

6. Forgiveness Divine
Forgiveness Divine, the new concept that is coming in, is completely absolving anyone else for anything that has happened to you and taking total responsibility for yourself. Taking responsibility for our actions and then our reactions is Forgiveness Divine. Forgiveness Divine is the ability to allow all incidents making one feel guilty about anything to be absorbed into the solar plexus. They will then be emanated back out towards the person who made us feel guilty as strong beams of light and love. This then absolves all guilt between the two. The way it is interpreted and done today by "turning the other cheek," one party ends up feeling smug about himself and the other feels twice the amount of guilt he should feel. Humanity simply hasn't developed its psychic abilities to be able to control this to the point where it can work, but in members of metaphysical groups it can begin to be learned.

7. One With God
Humanity has a separative nature coming from his animal ancestry. This is instinct for survival, every man for himself. This is why it is so essential for the two parts of man to be balanced before he can understand the concept of being One With God. As long as he is working and living solely through his lower nature, he will never be able to understand this. Anything that can show humanity that it possesses a "higher self" is a useful tool for bringing understanding to humanity. None on earth do truly understand the meaning of being One With God. Picture a split-level house. People live on both levels of that house. At times they are downstairs, at times upstairs. God is neither place. He is surrounding the house, enveloping it. Man, living his everyday life, is on the bottom level. When he prays or meditates or studies his spiritual concepts, he is on the upper level. But, he is not One With God until he breaks out of the house. Through everyday living, if done with a reaching out to others, a true desire and need of reaching others a person will eventually break through walls of the house and become One With God.
