The Veiling of Spiritual Power

In the heart of the world there are sources of power needed for the evolution of the humanity and the whole of the planet. Without this energy we will remain stuck at the dawn of the coming era, unable to step into the sunlight of the future. At present, the doors to these places of power are closed, inaccessible. And we remain distracted and dominated by the dynamics of physical and economic force.

Real power does not belong to humanity. It is a gift from the inner worlds and carries a stamp of the divine. It is given for the sake of the whole, not for our own personal gain. The next step in our evolution includes accessing this power, and using it to assist in the tremendous changes taking place in our world.

In order to access this place of power, we first need to understand why they are hidden. There are many reasons that power is hidden from humanity. Often it is to protect it from being used for the wrong reasons or by the wrong people. We know of the danger of the dynamics of power and domination, how easily power corrupts and is corrupted. Spiritual power, power which belongs to the non physical realm, is as corruptive as wordly power, and often more dangerous because it is invisible and not so easy to recognise or defend against.

Traditionally, only initiates have access to frequencies of spiritual power; the greater the power the more demanding the initiation. Supposedly these initiations rejected those who were not pure enough, only giving access to those who could not be corrupted. However, such safeguards are rarely perfect, and human nature is too complex for any safeguard to be fully effective.

Because our present culture's focus is on the physical world, we are familiar with this misuse of power that belongs to this dimension; we have little awareness of spiritual power or its misuse. We see economic and political corruption around us, as well as the underworld forces of drugs, prostitution, slavery, and other form of human exploitation. Our history, present and past, tells story of military power, including the Catholic Inquisition and other forms of religious intolerance. But all these forms of power still belong to the physical, material dimension. Even psychological manipulation mainly has its end in physical or material gain.

Spiritual power belongs to a different dimension, and is invisible to someone who sees only the physical world. But this power is real and has a vast range of possibilities. Traditionally it can be used locally, to heal an individual, or in communities, for example to help the rains come. Or it have a global dimension, involving the well-being and evolution of the whole. We can see the remains of past culture that used spiritual power in the pyramids of Egypt or the stone circle in England. We may have lost the knowledge of how spiritual energies were channeled through these monuments, but we can sense their mystery and potency.

If the new era that is now being born around us is to come into fruition it needs spiritual power, on not just an individual but also a global scale. Many spiritual traditions and practices have given individual a taste of spiritual energies that can free them from the prison of a solely physical, material life and open them to other dimension. But if the future is to be for the whole of humanity and not just a spiritual elite, then we need to find the sources of power that can transforms the whole - give the whole of humanity access to a different dimension, a different way of life. Without these sources of power that transition that is beginning will stagnate. It will not move beyond the individual.

These sources of power are present, but hidden. They have been protected form misuse and the dangers of corruption. And these are even forces that resist their discovery. But the time has come for them to be uncovered and used.
