he Path of Sound and Light is a spiritual journey that our souls have been on since the soul was created. It isn’t something we’re just starting right now. It isn’t something where, if we get initiated into this pathway, we now are doing The Path of Sound and Light. The very moment our soul was created, we were walking this pathway. God spoke, and with that spoken Word, with that Sound, came forth the Light; that very first Light is the Light of soul. We are that Light. We are God’s light. We are God’s creation. Why did God create us as soul? We came forward out of God’s loving for a reason. He created us with intention, with reason, with purpose. He created us out of Loving. He brought forward His Loving and created the soul. And since that moment we have been on the journey fulfilling God’s intention for our soul, which is to go forward into God’s creation and to experience creation. Now, why do you think God has done that? God has put us into motion, into action, into experience on this journey so that He can go forth, through us, as soul, and experience all of His creation. God experiences His creation fully through our souls’ loving and creativity. Our soul is Loving; our soul is creative. God creates everything out of Loving. God, which dwells at the Spiritual Center as the divine spark that we are, is Loving and creative. God gave us opportunity to go into all of His creation and to create and to love our creations, and to love all of God’s creation. This has been our journey throughout all of our existence. With this awareness in mind, we are now embarking upon another part of the journey, and this part is different than any other part of the journey that
we’ve been on up until this time. Now, we’re in a new action, and that is to walk this path consciously, to live it consciously, day in and day out, with every breath; this new action is to become conscious of ourselves, as soul, living this pathway. When God set forth our soul out into creation, He also sent the Grace of the Holy Spirit in the form of Sound and Light. That creative sound that has created our soul, that has gone forward with us in all of our experience, in all of our existence, ever being present with us, ever guiding us, ever directing us, ever present to assist us as we’ve been going out and experiencing all the different regions of God’s creation, is now the means by which something different is happening. This “something different” is: God is calling our soul home. We’ve experienced it all, we’ve done it all, and now God is calling our soul home. “Hey, time to come Home. You’re finished. You’ve experienced it all for Me. Now, come back Home from which you came; come back into the fullness of who I am in you and you are in Me, and let us dwell together as one in fullness, in awareness, in the true movement of Loving once again. No longer are you looking down and out into all of My creations, looking away from me, feeling separated. Now, I want you to begin a different part of the journey; and that is to look towards Me, to look to Me once again, and to have your journey focused on Me, not on My creation.” There are many in this world that feel this longing but don’t understand it, and they let the longing be interpreted as something still out in the world. It’s interpreted by them as a new mate, a new car, a new position, a diploma, or money, alcohol, or food. We’ve all experienced this in this lifetime in some form or another, looking out into the world, trying to find fulfillment, completions, answers trying to fill up the emptiness inside, to find where that longing is wanting to go and be fulfilled.
