Foreword

The book you have in your hands is a doorway to God or The Great Reality that is the very foundation of life itself, for it not only explores the mystery of Light—it makes you sensitive to experiencing it and the benefits to your body, mind and soul. In the Bible it says, "In the beginning there was God, and God said…let there be Light—and from Light all things came forth." Mystics through the ages have understood this highly profound truth about Light. It says God was unmanifest as Spirit in the beginning and that to have creation, God created Light. From Light—or the first begotten of God—or Christ in Christian mysticism—all things came forth. Light can therefore be thought of as the unmanifest Spirit of God made manifest.

Through meditation and divine revelations of consciousness, mystics have come to know Light divided itself into various energy frequencies visible as varying colors perceived in meditative consciousness. Such color frequencies of energy interacted with each other creating various geometrical shapes which, on a non-physical level of consciousness, became the basic building blocks or energy foundations of matter or physical world reality as we know it. Literally, in an absolute sense, we are—each and every one of us—children of the Light. The great mystery is that the Light continues to live in us—and we within It. By increasing your sensitivity to the Light, you eventually become one with it in consciousness or Christ-like awareness. It is the highest of all experience that anyone, in human form, can experience for it is the Primal Energy Essence of Light itself.

There are few people better qualified through a lifetime of experience to guide you through the doorway of your mind to discover your own Light Beingness. I make this statement for I have known the author, Rev. Cindy Paulos, for over a half century when she first attended my spiritual lectures in the accompaniment of her mother, when she was only fifteen years old. For decades, we have kept in touch as I watched her own explorations of life’s deepest spiritual mysteries—the greatest one, which is Light. In more recent years, she studied and earned her doctorate in the University of Metaphysics in association with the University of Sedona, which I was led to found over decades of higher educating work in advanced spirituality.

Read this book slowly allowing yourself to absorb the energy of every page, for if you do—the Light will reward you beyond all measure of words by its Presence in your life.

Preface

The Importance of Light

In the beginning when God created heaven and the earth, God said, Let there be Light. This Light is made of energy and we live within the realm of this energy.

This book is a guide to learning how to receive and send this energy in everyday life. It is something you do to some degree subconsciously daily by the way you think and feel. Once you are conscious of your thoughts and how you use this energy, you can transform your life and help to transform the world to a more radiant and positive place.

Light can be used in almost every facet of your everyday experience. You can send and receive energy consciously as you walk, eat, work, do yoga, while making love, watering the garden, playing with pets, while healing, doing art work, taking pictures, creating projects and more. You can also use Light as a protective force around the place you live and work, your car, airplane, boat or any vehicle.

If you already are working with Light, this guide can act as a reminder and perhaps inspire you to expand how you are using Light in your life.

These subjects and more will be covered with simple steps that will help to make you a conscious co-creator with God. And as you become a conduit of positive energy, you will see the world in a different light. For you will find that you can tap into the greatest power in the universe—the power of Love—that carries the Light you send and receive.

Put your life in a new light and have fun doing it by following a few simple steps.

Receiving Light

It all starts with learning how to receive Light into your being. You will want to make a little time and space so you can receive Light.

Let’s begin with some basic principles of meditation so that you can tap into your soul’s Light. The morning is a good time to practice meditation. Try to give yourself at least twenty minutes at first.

It helps if you create a quiet place where you can sit facing the sun. Make a simple altar with a candle, a journal and pen, maybe an inspiring picture of a master. One or two books of inspiration are nice to have nearby. Remember this is your sacred space for communion with God. If you like, you can sit cross-legged on a cushion, on a mat or in a chair.

Start by lighting the candle. Then take a few deep, clearing breaths.

Breathe all of the air out of the lungs and take in as much new fresh air as possible.

Breath is a very important aspect in meditation and your daily life. Breath is the underlying principle of life. It carries your life force. And your thoughts often direct your breathing pattern. Zen Master Jakusho Kwong-roshi has said, Breath sweeps mind. Use your breath to clear your mind before you meditate, so that you have a clean base from which to receive energy into your being without distraction.

Imagine breathing light and let it flow from the base of your spine up to your crown chakra at the top of your head. Breathe into the light and let the light align your spine so that you are sitting comfortably with your spine erect. Let your hands rest on your legs or cupped in a yoga mudra just below your navel.

This is a good time to recite an inspirational prayer to attune to positive energies, such as The Lord’s Prayer, The Great Invocation or The Prajna Paranita Heart Sutra, known as one of the most ancient texts in the Buddhist tradition. Use powerful written words that lift your consciousness to a high vibration. I have provided a selection of wonderful prayers and messages of inspiration, including the three mentioned. Choose any that work for you.

Prayers

The Lord’s Prayer

Translated from the Aramaic, the language spoken by Jesus

Father–Mother of the Cosmos, shimmering Light of All,

Focus your Light within us as we breathe your holy breath.

Enter the sanctuary of our hearts, uniting within us the sacred rays of your power and beauty.

Let your heart’s desire unite heaven and earth through our sacred union.

Help us fulfill what lies within the circle of our lives today.

Forgive our secret fears as we freely choose to forgive the secret fears of others.

Let us not enter forgetfulness, tempted by false appearances.

For from your astonishing fire comes the eternal song which sanctifies all, renewed eternally in our lives, and throughout Creation.

We seal these words in our hearts, committed in trust and faith.

Calling in the Light

We are a reflection of the One great Light of God. We are connected to that Source and we are One with it. Because of this, we can call upon that Light and use the creative force that is inherent in Light. It is a powerful resource to have the ability to ask for that Light to come through our soul to the mind and then to the place we wish to have it directed to.

Depending on how clear our reflection is determines the clarity of the Light we can use. To be in the place of Light within our soul, the shadows of the mind need to be released. The exercises that follow will help you to do that. This can be a lifetime practice. It is well worth learning how to keep the mind clear, for when you call in the Light, you need to have a clear channel for the Light to flow through.

The alignment of body, mind and soul provides this clear channel for the Light to be received and used. The Aramaic translation of The Lord’s Prayer is a tool to create this alignment. In addition, the sound of ah as in the word God can be used as a focusing point while you are breathing in the holy Light of God.

The clearer our focus is on God, the more we are able to access this holy Light and bring it into our breath. Use your breath to clear your mind and to give you a point of inspiration as you release with each exhalation. As you clear the mind and call in the Light, you allow the breath to carry that Light through you.

The power of the intent behind your calling in the Light is extremely important as it focuses the energy. With strong intent, a clear mind and right focus, you can call in the Light to use for your Light work. The more you practice this, the more you will see the powerful effects and the more Light will be available for you to use as a Light worker.

Know that you have the power to call on the Light. You can practice calling in the Light with these steps:

1. Go into a state of meditation;

2. Do deep breaths;

3. Set your intent to call on the Light;

4. Call the Light in;

5. Observe any shift or change in energy;

6. Feel the Light;

7. Identify with the Light and merge with it;

8. Breathe the Light into your body, mind and emotions;

9. Thank God.

The energy of Light is waiting for you to call on it. You have the power to awaken your consciousness to the Light. Learn to call in the Light for both your inner and outer work in life and become a soul-infused being who lives in the Light.

Messages of Inspiration

Let the Voice of Your Soul Sing

Let the voice of your soul sing

With a song of sweet, sweet love.

Let the call of the angels bring you peace

And show you the Light from above.

Be an instrument that plays from this joy

And relieves all suffering,

For when you hear the music of Light

The universe sings its secrets to your soul.

So listen close and listen clear

And hear the sacred song.

Listen with an open mind,

Listen with an open heart,

So all the world can sing along.

It’s a song of love that heals

And a love that brings

An answer to our prayers.

This life is a chorus

To our greatest dream,

A way to bridge now with eternity.

So listen close and listen clear

And let your heart hear,

As the voice of your soul sings to you

With a sweet, sweet song of love.

In the Presence of Light

The soul holds the essence of your spirit and Light. You have a unique relationship with your soul, for it is with you even when you are not aware of it. Through your soul, you are connected to the universal energy of God’s Light.

You can call on your inner Light to come into your being in many ways. All of the exercises use the process of calling upon the Light or meeting the energy of Light in your soul state. There is an awareness in you that can be called upon to be sensitive to the presence of Light. Light can come from your soul, your master, guides or angels, or from God.

You can be aware of this energy best when in a state of meditation. In time, you will feel comfortable to call upon the Light and let it be present while doing everyday activities.

You might notice the presence of Light in the following ways:

1. While meditating, you can see colors change;

2. With eyes closed, you see a brilliant dot of Light;

3. Your breathing pattern might shift to deeper breaths;

4. You feel a definite shift in posture;

5. You feel a light breeze surround you;

6. You feel the presence of a high energy;

7. The light around you changes;

8. You feel a tingling or warm sensation.

With practice, you will become aware of the shift and it will become as if an invisible friend is with you.

In the Still Light

Here in the still Light of the highest One

Is the Source of Love.

This is the Love that can heal and renew you,

This is the Love that can bring you the breath of Light.

Breathe in the Love

And let it fill and surround you

With sacred Light.

So that you are renewed with the power

Of the Light of God

To become the true reflection of the highest.

Alignment to Dwell in the Soul

Take a few moments to align the body, mind and soul. This alignment allows a clear channel of energy to flow through you and it will
