Emancipating Anticipation

"Hashivenu Hashem Elecha Ve'Nashuva Chadesh Yamenu KeKedem" 
Restore us to You, the Eternal, that we may be restored! 
Rejuvenate our days as of old. (Lam. 5:21)


Along the spiritual path, you practice maintaining your heart’s authenticity in ways that add fulfillment to creation. In time, you graduate to orchestrate your heart’s expression in ways that infuse new spirit into awareness that has been levelled by deficit. You grow to lead a spiritually liberated path that inspires others to invest in developing a relationship with their own soul’s future realization.

Invariably, the path of spiritual maturation requires you to unwrap your truest self by quieting the reactive mind and connecting your heart to a place of timeless contentment. To attain this, it is key to actively link your heart to the parts of your soul residing in a time of future realization. In this way, your heart will be secure from extending its vitality into motivations of endurance — a creative expression that necessitates an inccuring of long obstacles.
The heart of a true spiritualist is treasured because it has cultivated a refined sensitivity. However, a gentle heart cannot soldier through difficulties without these taking a heavy toll. It is therefore essential for you to cultivate disciplines for reviving your heart’s vitality each day. You do this by bathing your awareness in the bliss that will be realized at a future time. It means cultivating feelings of perpetual “renewal” -- these will refine the quality of your spirit and help your soul seed solutions ahead of your intended path. Gradually, you grow to master anchoring your heart in a space of perpetual "arrival", to seed the blossoming of lasting success.


In sum, it means securing a gravitating expression of raw satisfaction! Through it you grow animated with the feeling of embracing all that you are for all eternity —ready to seize the reigns of a life you were specifically built for! This is the secret indelible expression fueling hearts destined for lasting success and heightened realization.

The Ecstatic Instant




The creation of all diversity arose from the simplicity of unexpressed potentials called Nothingness. In an act of True Love, this awareness gave light to expression for latent potentials. Through the confines of this ecstatic "instant", True Love was released and seeded to blossom into greater realization. 

This creative "instant" provided the canvas for experiencing degrees of realization. Its' sharing, gave rise to "otherness", "selfhood" and the formation of dimensional continuums for worlds, space and time. This "instant" constitutes the creative arc between the 0 and the 1; the transformation of consciousness from "Nothingness" to "Everythingness". 

All development happens within the confines of this space of inception. Within this arc of perpetual realization the range for experiential variation and complexity is realized. Paradoxes that arise are allowed to complete a circuit for transformed unity upon this arc of bridged singularities. For example, the existential paradox for how selfhood can simultaneously be both "realized" and "harmonized" is resolved through the actualizing arc of its' creative narrative. 

Each act of creativity is an echo of this synergetic architecture. Extremities of the creative spectrum are awarded expression through roles in this narrative arc bridging the singular poles, from 0 to 1, from "nullification" to "fusion". This euphoric pulse escalates into materialization from this primordial euphoric "instant". The surface of this creative "instant" extends to each creative chord the space to transform their vitality from tiers that are potential and simulated into expressions that are actual and authentic. Synergistically, another process progresses on the intrinsic level of this "instant". Each chord becomes transformed beyond the confines of their respective attributes in the fulfillment of this existential tapestry. This releases a light of love so true that it transcends the very embodiment of its' initial conception. Its realization draws near each time the superficial is instilled with the spirit of the intrinsic. 

It is like streams flowing from divergent terrains to join the rush of an expansive ocean. The creative spectrum is able to gradually explore its creative vitality before being swept in the rush of the realization of a higher synergy. The echo of this euphoric "instant" supports these heightened stages for realization. It is the very undercurrent catalyzing all creative discovery.

Eye to Eye





Our world is governed by great balance. It is an intricately designed balance of contrasting extremities. This balance was set in place to provide a perfected theatre for authentic choice. Through the polarizing filter of this balance a soul becomes better groomed to make sovereign choices and gain greater responsibility. As the soul grows, it cultivates ripe choices and dedicates these towards love. Because these choices are ripened in the context of this balance, the love that is shared is passionate and powerful in its intimacy. 

An essential secret of the spiritual masters is; 
"The answer to every "why" in existence is to help render your love greater and more authentic." It may appear simple, but its truth is so very profound. 

Our worldly existence has been calibrated to provide a creative canvas for authentic expression. Each soul has countless opportunities to partner in expressions of true love. Amidst this balance, a soul can grow to share a love so true it reflects the very nature of the source from which it was hewn. 

The source consciousness from which all has sprung was not compelled by "want" or "need". Instead, the source consciousness set in motion a sovereign choice that seeded existence with the ripening of an equally sovereign choice. It was through these choices of equivalent sovereignty that a most intimate revelation could come to light.  The souls that pass through this realization would grow to bathe themselves and all of existence through the unconditionality of this timeless love. 

True lovers share their authenticity "eye to eye" from a weightless place of mutual surrender. Similarly, the balanced filter provides the lens through which all of creation can graduate to the light of True Love. This sets the stage for existence itself to gradually coalesce and share with the greatest intimacy.

Intimacy at Source




Feelings of detachment arise from the judgments that the individual carries and reinforces within. When an individual cannot stop banishing aspects of themselves within, then, that individual will not be able witness the greater harmony that is unconditionally sustaining all things.

The very process of not being able to witness the benevolent arc encompassing all creation prevents an individual relating to a unified source that coalesces in oneness and instills a harmony that echos forth through all eternity. Such an individualized perception becomes refracted with persistent states of deconstructing the world they witness with judgments of various degrees of severity.

This why the spiritual masters that have walked this realm have proclaimed; “Love Thy Brother As You Love Thyself!” Because this is the solution and all else is merely consequential. When you are able to find, connect to and unify all the disparate fragments of creative forces within yourself, all resonating harmoniously within; then you will be free to access the light of the source proceeding all actualized existence. As you bond in grace to its core root, you will begin to remember the nature of its simple and indelible chord of grace. That all the earthly struggles, the obstacles and suffering are part of an over-arching gloriously benevolent construct that provide the conditions for souls to grow closer and closer to unconditional intimacy with the light both overt and latent within all things; as it is all nothing but a Love Story of return and embrace.

Across the other side of the veil of linear consciousness, those that wish to ascend to the highest proximity of intimacy  beyond the filtration of creation at the source, may proceed freely. However, most unwittingly support impediments, and find themselves constrained and restricted. Invariably, what holds consciousness back from progressing freely is one's own shame rooted in feelings of unworthiness. Shame and intimacy constitute a incompatible mix in the higher terrains of unity. On an emotional level, one cannot be ashamed and truly intimate at the same time; as one is an expression of expansion, the other retraction. Similarly, one cannot be fearful and embrace vulnerability of intimacy at the same time. The essential concept is that eternal progressions of unification are stifled by repellant vortices of definition and polarization.

It is about true love and intimacy, and if a soul bares residue expressions of shame, then these de-facto stifle one's own advance, and hamper one with feelings of inadequacy. The more one remains linear minded about their trajectory, the more one will find themselves thwarted by feelings of being unworthy and in deficit. Even slight traces of shame, boil to the fore in the face of ascending to such gloriously intimate expressions of being. Personal judgments, and their fetishes for parsimony, weigh heavily upon the soul climbing tiers of greater consciousness and push its own progression back down to lower and denser vibratory fields of expression. These souls then find themsleves too ashamed to receive such intimacy, and the become conflicted with feelings that they iare benefitting so much and having had contributed so very little. On this context, they cannot adequately justify their own existence. In romantic terms, this is akin to lovers that feel compelled to close their eyes when exchanging expressions of unabashed intimacy, finding themselves incapable of sharing eye to eye as equals.

This is because they do not know the soul language of true love, which is essentially unconditional, and an open expression in the more intimate spaces in proximity to creations' source. Without this vital chord of expression, a soul is destined to become stuck in cycles of inadequacy and with feelings of having to accomplish so much more.

Consider the folly of those that cleave to their judgments. They exclaim;
“Look what I have done for you oh God! I have prayed each day, do you not need my prayers? I have studied and followed your commandments, do you not need my obedience?”

It that not utter folly and futility? What is it exactly that “God” needs? The Eternal did not “need” any of it! The Eternal did not fashion creation, splitting itself into splintered creative expressions and legions of energetic diversity because it had to. Rather, the Eternal chose to funnel potentials into actualized expressions of true love to render love abound in its most passionate and intimate cadence, so that a boundless coalescing between potential and actualized tiers of expressions in unified state of ecstatic stasis could emerge and harmonize all gaps of disparity. Through creation's elaborate filtration of the priomordial light of benevolence, the Eternal effectively extended pathways for all to participate within a greater narrative of true love, and in this way discover intimacy in a greater all.

Creation allowed for an expression of true intimacy because consciousness was granted individuality, and thus gave birth to feelings of isolation, which fueled an accumulation of passion.  Passion is the fuel that  necessitates eventual reunion for an enhanced intimacy. Through this passion, all can transcend contention and pedigree to crystalize perceptions of the unconditional root expression of love at source. In light of this inner most expression of being, all are able to shine in equal vitality, embrace and unify into a greater all that permeates even energetic expressions of actuality. And so, true love brings all into balance and equilibrium with all at source propelling the ecstatic verve of unified intimacy. All shall benefit by following in the wake of true love's current, as the language of unconditionality will transmute the linear blockages of self sustaining shame or unworthiness. Love itself allows all to graduate beyond such pettiness. From this vantage point, all grow to embrace the unbounded power of  true love, as it is elixir that harmonizes all with enhanced purpose.

On a soul level, one should maintain cognizance that all are aspects of the Eternal at various stages of transforming back into unified co-existence. As one chooses to enter a consciousness that is in alignment with the music flowing at the root of creation's source, their soul will gradually forgo of the need to progress up the ladder of consciousness in a linear way. Rather, the sovereign flow of soul consciousness chooses to engage in what is analogous to a celestial "escalator". Unlike the laborious ladder to expansive consciousness, the additional fuel of true love's passion serves to propel one's consciousness in ways that  bypass all the winding hindrances caused by feelings of shameful inadequacy before the primordial light of benevolence, and the soul may then float freely to the most expansive chords of intimacy.

In this context, the classical mythos of the of the Tree of Life vs. Tree Of Knowledge of Good and Evil archetype that served to imbed the collective consciousness with a narrative for the divergent pathways of spiritual growth takes on a greater meaning. It becomes evident that there is a process of growth that flows effortlessly once one is unbound by eternal sensibilities, and another, gleaned from struggle and “without”; of learning what is by lingering too long in all that is not.

Many souls enter into this world imprinted with a fetishized predisposition of how to witness all that is. For example, some individuals enter this world with a proclivity for expressing their identity through external action. These individuals develop only able to perceive external action oriented expressions. In this context, the individual discriminates that anything not delivered through an expression of external action is either simply flawed or not existent. Such individuals grow proud, unable to witness the diverse shades of activity, and carry deep-seeded judgments about the world, castigating creation for perceived injustices.

Sooner or later, the world shifts from beneath the individual's feet, and he is left utterly humbled. As he regroups, and his perceptions are compelled to expand ever so slightly, the foundations for previous discrimination are brought ever so slightly more into balance. For example, he begins to let go of the lens of external actions and is comfortable with leaving things undecided, and then, slowly allowing empiricism to sort out his rubric of perception. Then, over time, after being humbled again, he find's himself compelled to incorporate a more nuanced paradigm,  balancing possibly, even incorporating dimensions of internal action. And this process of  graduation over time repeats itself, time and again, to gradually restore the individual to a greater clarity, and harmony with a greater proportion of creative expression. Little by little, the consciousness is set free to explore more and more creatively diverse expressions that constitute the totality flowing at creation's source.  In turn, the creaive energy that filters through the individual with less bias and is leaves the individual a lot less prejudicial. Until one day the individual expands, and his  paradigm for bias itself, and prejudice itself begins to forever recede. This is how the consciousness evolves beyond primitive survivalist tendencies.

In truth, from the vantage point of eternity's perspective, such a sluggish progression appears jagged and strange. One watching it from a quantum perspective would ponderously exclaim;

"Why must you remember everything, can’t you feel it in your core? Don’t you feel that you are all one, don’t you feel it? You may be blocked from accessing  parts of your eternal self, but your heart's music, if allowed to flows forth is plentifully and present. Does not your heart tell you that all is one, why must you shackle yourself with primitive perceptions and tribalism? What is it with humanity? It does not make any sense! Even if you are steeped in judgments and criticism, don’t you recognize that whenever negativity you carry just reverberates outward contributing to permeating hatred, and attracting more of the same? A bolstering destruction and void is a deconstruction that can only breed further incarnations of destruction and void. It is only through the harmonizing effects of a united chorus flowing through all eternity that helps render again and again restorative light anew."

Still, from a more linear perspective, this world is a school, and for those that need it, it is a school of hard knocks that knock an individual down a peg or two every once in a while, to make room for something far greater. They are still attached to the ladder, afraid to let go. And each time, they are knocked down they summon up just enough awe and humility to include a bit more of the Eternal within their perception, and allow themselves to graduate in perception higher and higher along the celestial steps of Jacob’s ladder; until they learn to let go completely by loving unconditionally. Then,  they are propelled to the golden throne atop called athe crown of "True Love". From that reigning seat they realize that the whole ladder could have  been superfluous, and that there was no reason why they could not have started by focusing on true love at the start.

RESTORATION






Innocence is associated with the inner child that resides within. Within seasonal archetypes, innocence is associated with the Spring season. The Spring solstice brings forth an exuberance of life to sprout upon the earth. It represents an energy that takes what appears to be dead and fallow, and rejuvenates it with teeming life. It is associated with the energy of "wonder", and the times of entering into a perception where all is rendered possible and abundant in potential.

Every individual, regardless of their life's trajectory, have an orchard of "firsts" residing within. All individuals went through a childhood, they had experiences like their first time on a swing, their first time at the beach, their first red balloon, their first ice cream cone. When these ideas are explored with adults, many adults are unable to recall their "firsts". 


When I work in session with individuals, I explain that when I find an adult that is unable to connect to their firsts, it is indicative that the individual has exiled within themselves the energetic expression of the inner child. In these subjects, the inner child has been banished due to hardship or shame, from the circuitry of their inner consciousness. Without this indelible expression of restoration and wonder, the individual begins to live as if soldiering through every day, and every day becomes the longest day. They feel entrapped in one long continuous day that never seems to end, and are burdened by fatigue, they are emotionally tired, and irritable. They look anxiously for opportunities to "check-out" and escape.

This lesson is about innocence, it is about welcoming the inner child back home. It is about reconnecting with the thriving pulse of possibility that is the very heart-beat of the inner child; allowing the spirit of the inner child to open up the well-springs of the heart.

Take a few moments to reflect upon the innocence of children. 

When young children are playing in playgrounds they do not notice differences in the shades of other children's skin, the varying languages and cultures belonging to those are playing. They are immune to the  the drums of tribalism and nationalistic ideals that prevail upon most adults. They bypass these considerations because children are so closely connected to emotion. When one cries, another child's heart feels pain. When children witnesses laughing, exuberance, and joy that current becomes spreads abound for they are not disconnected by disillusionment. The spirit of a child inhabits a world where all is possible, and there is only the present now.

Throughout the various spiritual traditions of the world, children are recognized as carrying a special sanctity.The sanctity of children is related to a child's connection to a world of "wonder". where everything is fresh and the world is only bound by the confines of one's imagination. Because of this state of mind, the current of heart's emotion is allowed to flow unimpeded. Within spirituality, it is through a pure heart that one may connect to all, to all places and all times. By pro-actively using the power of one's heart, a spiritually dynamic individual can uplift and mitigate the streams of discord that are prevalent within one's circle of influence, and beyond. 

A spiritually dynamic individual is an individual that masters brandishing a sword of profound empathy and compassion within the recesses of their heart. They are free to wield that sword with determination and trust. They do not use that sword to oppress or injure, but wield that sword to help set others free. They free others without having to express a thing, but by actively connecting within to the higher aspects of compassion and empathy to help unify one individual with another's joy, bounty, hope and possibility to reunite them with the spirit of the inner child and the world of wonder.The spirit of the inner child helps grasp the very fulcrum of compassion and uplift its music to its' highest note. While regressive energy would have the individual focus on what seems wrong, the child within is connected to a world of boundless possibility and helps direct one's heart to connect others with what is possible. Not only does this open portals of perception to allow others to witness what is possible in the here and now, but to the very music of one's soul reveling in a greater harmony in the future, as well. If our world is but a primitive world, then there is a space of a far less primitive time that awaits us all in the great beyond. The spirit of the inner child can prepare the vanguard of the heart, and help draw the nectar from the future space, so that your heart may hum to its' music while cultivating the here and now.

Take a moment to welcome the spirit of the inner child within. Do not be to proud to ask the inner child, "what do you have to teach me", what do you have to show me". For the child is a master; a master of compassion, a master of innocence. And the child awaits a reunion and complete re-embrace.

A Love That Is You



Love is a word that is so misunderstood in these times. Some aspire to acquire love , while others aspire to give love. But love can neither be acquired nor given. As one can only give what they own, and there can be no ownership or dominion in the expression of love.


Love is an expression of creation, it is a state of flowing, a unifying force, and a light of existence itself. This light called love can be shared as one becomes a more active conduit to the celestial expression of love, that love emits a vibrance and flows through them to another.


Those that find themselves deprived of love are individuals that are either attempting to tightly hold on to love, or are trying to give love. But love cannot be given, and love cannot be held onto, as love is a perpetual expression of the active unconditional light of creation. Those that wish to imbue love within their circle and rediscover the love that was always there resonating through the light of their soul need only to expand their perceptions. But know, should one attempt to grasp the light called love, it quickly disperses, as the light of love cannot be grasped. Instead, one must flow within it.


This is akin to one trying to grasp a flowing river of water. One cannot grasp it, and should one extend their hand in an attempt to do so, they will discover the drops of water running though their reach. As one can only immerse oneself in the river and become one with its flowing. Similarly, one cannot grasp or give love at all, instead, one can only immerse oneself in it and share its flow.


Love is the very chord behind all of creation, it is the spark of intimacy of the creator that imbues all form, and all that has manifested is all a concordant symphony to imbue and actualize the constructs of that indelible stream.


From the perspective of eternity's eye there is no give and there is no receiving. There is only a grace, an awakening and witnessing of the light of love that resonates within all.


So dear friends, one will benefit much by remaining mindful that love's light is never lost, instead when you are within a constricted state of consciousness, it lingers around the peripherals. As you attempt to grasp it, it quickly disperses from your reach, because the eternal light of love can never be contained. Instead, awaken and expand your soul and perceptions to grow from within. As you do, you shall witness that this light called love has always been the divinity that is you.

Time to leave the "Shame" Behind




The biblical archetype, if you concentrate on it. Think about the story, the mythology of Adam and Eve. It says that they wanted to take from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, or, tap into the network Existence and Virtual-Existence. They were tempted to eat from the tree of virtual perception. Because they felt it would give them a feeling of adequacy before the Almighty, as they did not feel adequate yet to partake of the Tree of Life, the network of eternity.

They chose to take from the tree of fragmented perceptions. So, that way by understanding their own individuality and truth in a state of disconnect, then they could really appreciate the integrity of their light to galvanize their re-connectivity from a space of worthiness and accomplishment.

And, so, they choose to taste in the nectar of the truth latent awaiting to be discovered through the dis-connectivity from the light, the light of all. The mythology follows that their eyes were open and they saw they were naked. And they sought out solutions to cover their outside, the externals that grew prominent before their perception.

This is because after eating from the seed of the void, virtual perception, the balance of what is became distorted and externalities and the aspects that differentiate took on greater prominence in the forefront of their perception. Before long externals appearances, the facade of things was all they and their descendants could see.

After they took of the tempting fruit of fractured perception, they empowered the faculties of the judgmental perception. The perceptions that fuels competition, shame and oppression. The perceptions echoing from the pain of abandonment, isolation and a pathway of "without". To now re-invert the circuitry of connecting to all from a pace of wanting and needing.

They took of that fruit to perceive what it is to be abandoned from the light of innate worthiness in all to taste of the exile through the shadow of shame to forge ahead with the facade, "sandcastles" that testify to one's accomplishment and worth. When they did that, they did that because they wanted to eventually contain, the truth of a far greater love, a higher love.

As love is so connected to passion, for when you are without it, you yearn for it that much more! So when you finally coalesce back into reunion, that passion gleaned infused with that prevailing love, that LOVE is dynamic, that is LOVE legendary and eternal. It is profound by its nature, and in its song, as it is all for good.

And so it was all for good. But, the time is now. It is time now to awaken and remember how to transcend into the light of life and eternity, and leave the shame behind. The passion has been learned, the time is now.

Learning vs. Remembering



 

Aspects of your higher self have been along the material realm many times before. And the lesson memory of these journeys is etched into the very nuances of your sacred song, it is "within" your of resonance field as you choose to activate it.

 

Therefore. it is paramount and key to know the difference between “learning” and “remembering”. How does one filter through all this knowledge and know what is intended for them and what is not? As you filter through it, some knowledge with resonate within as mere knowledge, while other information will give you the feeling, the sense of "Remembering".

 

So as you confront a plethora of knowledge along this material realm, know that information that you attract to is aligned within your song resonance and will impart the sensation of "remembering", a reclaiming of the cadence of your innate spirit.

The Two Paths


 

The blind man must learn in one of two ways: 

He either learns the path by smacking into enough walls and discovering the path through pain, or he learns to develop his other senses to learn the path. The latter process of developing one’s senses is called the “straight path” or the “short path”, mastered without pain and without struggle, but through intimacy.

The spiritually dynamic individual discovers that all that frustrates are truly resonances that we attract to help us expand and find within what we have locked out from All That Is – Source.  

By embracing this truth, the individual is rendered empowered to ascend in consciousness and journey through the light of life in intimacy. Truly, we can embrace our lessons from “within” as there is no longer a reason to continue to learn through lessons of “without”.

Faith, Reason & the Tree of Life





Faith, Knowledge and the Tree of Life

There is little access to the "Tree of Life" without first developing refined analytical abilities through logic and reason. These refined analytical abilities aid the individual in creating "vessels" (/networks) for abstract "understanding" to retain the higher (insight of) "light".
There are three major stages one must enter before obtaining consistent access to the intimate and corrective light of the "Tree of Life".

"Faith Below Reason"

The elementary level of spiritual development is "Faith Below Reason". At this stage one perceives the world within the framework of a stable "tradition". One does not filter these traditions to discover or isolate their essence (what is eternal and selfless from what has been wrapped in perceptions of cultural and individualistic ego and their material /fractured consciousness). Instead the individual follows these "traditions" with a blind faith and yearns to draw closer through blind sacrifice and personal devotion.

When found to be sincere and worthy, the Divine will through "nature" send blows (perceived existential chaos/ discord) to the individual to prompt the awakening of a re-calibrated perception that filters one's intention and "understanding" through a new matrix of "truth" and "reason".

This is akin to a young child who is taught language and concepts. If you teach a young child what "water" is, or what "light" is; the child readily accepts the given tradition of what water and light is, and how they operate. Young children will not demand explanations about how their mind interprets light waves, or what prevents water from turning into vaporous gas etc. Instead the young child readily accepts the given tradition and attempts to sincerely adopt it. In this way, a child accumulates an incredible network of concepts and language to reference the reality of their experiences, but all of these are unquestionably adopted through the cultural "tradition", without personally filtering these explanations through reason (this stage of development is called "Faith Below Reason").

"Faith & Reason"

Once empowered with the tool of reason, the individual is able to begin reintegrating all previous knowledge and perceptions through the filtering matrix of "reason" and "understanding". This process "renews" the knowledge as it is being reacquired through "understanding". This lays the foundation for a reliable infrastructure to build successive deductions for future expanded attainment. In this way the individual begins to taste a level of the (eternal) truth by extracting from previous "traditions", separating their "truth" (/life energy) from their surrounding (/shell of) ego, superstition and superficial perceptions (This stage is called "Faith and Reason").

"Faith Above Reason"

Once the individual has refined and activated his "reason" filter, he is then able to begin comprehending, appreciating and "feeling" higher insight (/light) of the "Tree of Life".

Due to the very fact that the individual has already completely reintegrated his knowledge base, filtering it through a matrix of logic and reason ("knowledge" has thus become "understanding"), the individual is able to further refine these tools of logic and reason to where he is confidently able to apply them within abstract "thought" terrains. Then, the individual is prepared to modify his "intention" (and align his perception) to ascend to the higher knowledge rubric of the "Tree of Life".

The beauty of "Tree of Life" wisdom, is not that it is without reason. In fact, it is a profoundly logical system, with symmetrically elegant teachings. However, because this portal of highly abstract and concentrated insight would never have been discovered through mere reason alone, this stage is called "Faith Above Reason".

"Tree of Life" insight has been imparted to mankind through rare souls that have attained an abundantly loving, yearning and transcendent level of spirit. These unique individuals are able to "merge" their intellects their higher self (yechidah) that are able to impart higher teachings to our material life through the spiritual portal of consciousness (/perception) within the individual.

Hence, it is only after the individual has truly mastered and reintegrated his "thought" through reason, and adopted the disciplines of inverting the ego to altruism, and maintaining a singularly aligned transcendent perception that he will transform his spirit into a truly benevolent and attuned "soul", able to access and attain "higher knowledge" (This stage is called "Faith Above Reason").
