hy do I recommend the Path of Sound and Light meditation? Here is the actual reason, the ‘nitty-gritty’. Truly, if we will do our meditation, if we will take that Name of God that is given to us at Initiation, and hold it in the focus of the Loving of God … and if we speak the power of the Name of God, in us and through us in all levels of creation … then we will begin to hear that freedom of God’s Loving literally ringing through us on all levels. And we will find ourselves gaining freedom on all levels of this creation, this physical-universal creation, and we will stand free. You will be “soul liberated,” soul-awake and knowing God dwelling within. And then this will happen: you will hear the voice of the lord of this creation — known as Lucifer, Satan, Kal Niranjan, and so many other names throughout all the different religions and spiritual traditions of olden days and today. And you will hear Kal saying, “Get out! Get out! I do not want you in my creation anymore!” And you’ll just skip happily along that path of Loving through all of his creation and out of here. Leaving these physical creations, leaving this physical body, you’ll reply, “Okay, if that’s what you want. I’ll leave. If I’m not welcome, I don’t need to stay here.” And you’ll go willingly, you’ll go lovingly, you’ll go joyfully, and you’ll go freely. It’s an amazing thing when Kal says, “Get out of here” to a soul. Every initiate will hear it one of these days — you will hear it. And when you do, another amazing thing happens: at that very moment all the ‘hooks’, the karmas of your past lives that had been entangled around you, holding you, binding you, to this physical creation — all of a sudden they shatter, and in that moment you’re free! The debt is paid in that moment. The moment Kal says to get out of here, he is going to say: “I’m wiping your slate clean. You will never have existed in my creation, no one will ever hear of you, or know of you, or think of you, or believe in you. You do not exist here.” If you hear him say those words to you, don’t hesitate. Don’t worry about anything — just

get out! Now, getting out does not necessarily mean that you leave the physical body permanently, that your physical body is now dead and you as soul go on. It may be that, it may be just that, and if that is the case, hey, allow it to be. If you as soul, you as a child of God, are free now to return home to God from which you came, and reunite in the greater union of self, why not? So … if you hear Kal in a meditation, or in a dream, or just walking down the street or driving down the road — if all of a sudden you hear loudly the voice of Kal Niranjan screaming at you, “Get out! Get out of here! Leave my creation!” Thank him! Say, “Thank you lord of this creation. I love you so much and thank you for this liberation, for you have just freed me of my debt, of my karmas here; and if I stay here, I will do it in loving. I will love your creation, I will honor your space, I will not touch it or harm it in any way. I will complete what I have come to complete here, and when it’s time for me to truly leave I will leave, not creating disturbance but willing to leave, not concerned if people remember me or not, and I give thanks for the moment you have liberated me at this level. You have freed me of my debt.” Believe me, I will tell you one thing. Kal will say, “What? What? What do you mean I freed you of your debt?” I’ve seen this happen so many times. He just doesn’t get it — thank God! He goes into a whole reactive pattern of trying to reclaim. “Wait-wait-wait! I didn’t mean that!” And all you have to do is say, “What is spoken, is done. As it is spoken, so it is done, and I thank you for that.” That’s your authority over your creation. I say this to you now so that, when the day comes, there will be a part of you who will remember this, and know it, and you will do it. You will just do it automatically because your soul will say, “Oh, I remember. Jim said …” And that part of you that is the Divine in you, that part that is reading this today, knows this to be true. Having read this, you will now have the authority in a way you didn’t have before — to step up and to do that. And to live that. When that time comes you will stand there and say, “Oh my God. It’s true. Look at this, it’s happening.”
