Let There Be Spiritual Enlightenment
"I Am the Light of the World"

A powerful spring gushed out of the earth, and watered all the face of the ground . . . and the Lord God planted the garden eastward in Eden; and there God put the ones whom God had formed.

The 'Twelve Powers of Unity' is a conceptual framework representing the manifestation of Christ consciousness or enlightenment. In it are six powers not mentioned in the seven stages of creation. In this final setting, there is awareness of living in the experience of these integrated Spiritual Powers in a God-Realized state.

Divine Order: I Am living God's Plan as the one purpose of my life. I am aware of my part in the spiraling experience of Consciousness. Once I have accepted God's plan as the one function that I will fulfill, there will be nothing else that the Holy Spirit will not arrange for me, without my effort. The Holy Spirit will go before me making straight my path and leaving in my way no stones to trip on, no obstacles to bar my way. Nothing I need will be denied me. Not one seeming difficulty but will melt away before I reach it. I need take thought for nothing, being careless of everything except the only purpose I would fulfill.*

Spiritual Strength: Yea though I walk through the valley of shadow, I fear no evil for Thou art with me. Everything in my life has purpose. I am given everything I need as I walk though life experiences. I Am Strength. I Am Spirit.

Divine Renunciation: All that is not aligned with the Light of the Divine dissolves. Energy is healed in new Consciousness. God shows me clearly the doors through which I will walk, and closes the doors which are not part of my path. These false paths dissolve in the Light of Spirit as the Path of Light rises up to meet me.

Spiritual Zeal: I Am the vibration of Divine Enthusiasm. I Am in Theos. I am Spirit. I Am Soul. I Am Body. The energy of the Holy Spirit is upon me.

Divine Life: I Am the Life. My life is the way of Spirit. The Truth of Divine Essence lives Itself as my Life.

Divine Power: The Kingdom of Heaven comes to earth and I live in this experience. My life is lived in the glory of God, and I live from Glory to Glory. I Am That.

The Garden:
Symbols of spiritual traditions from around the world can be seen from the spiraling path as you enter the experience of being the Light. These symbols represent the dissolving of all those ways in which we separate ourselves, and the journey in the Realization of Oneness, the Essence of Love.

Ponder the images of Jesus, Krishna, Buddha, the Star of David, the Crescent and the Moon, the Totem Pole, and the Om. One of the symbols is very simple—a circle which represents both Oneness and all of the paths which are not yet named here. On the southwest side of the path, large cliff-like rock formations create a gushing waterfall and pond representing completion, fulfillment, and the cycles of creation. The water falls into the Fountain of Enlightenment—the living of a God-Realized life. Within the round, white pavilion, take a moment to sit on the benches and survey the lush plants in a tapesty of color.

The Meditation:
Why am I here?
What am I to learn?
How am I being called . . . right now?
