I include several appendices that give additional
techniques and meditations. An extensive list of resources and
a bibliography/recommended reading list provide information
on contacts and books that I consider to be especially valuable.
In addition to my own observations, experiences, and
reflections, I used information from the works of the Tibetan
Master Djwhal Khul through Alice Bailey; the writings of John
Richardson and Florence Huntley as given in the books of the
Harmonic Series, especially with reference to the sciences of
ethics and polarity; the clairvoyant investigations of Norman
and Josephine Stevens; and the teachings of the Master Morya
as given through Helena Roerich in the Agni Yoga Series.
From an early age, I tried to understand the human
potential and how it could be fully realized. This book is the
result of my studies and practice; it is my effort to give back
some measure of the rich abundance I have received from the
many teachers and teachings encountered on my spiritual
journey. It is my sincere hope that this book will be useful to
others seeking to realize their highest potential.
我包括了一些附加的技术和冥想的附录。广泛的资源列表和
参考书目/推荐阅读列表提供了我认为特别有价值的联系方式和
书籍的信息。

除了我自己的观察、经历和反思之外,我还通过爱丽丝·贝利
(Alice Bailey)使用了西藏大师 Djwhal Khul 的作品中的信息;约
翰·理查森和弗洛伦斯·亨特利的著作在和声丛书中都有提及,特
别是涉及伦理学和极性科学;诺尔曼和约瑟芬史蒂文斯的透视调

师的教导。
xii Bridge to Superconsciousness

从很小的时候起,我就试着去理解人类的潜能以及它是如何
被充分实现的。这本书是我学习和实践的结果;我的努力是为了
回报我从许多老师和教导中所得到的丰富。我真诚地希望这本
书能对那些想要实现自己最大潜力的人有所帮助。
Norman and Josephine Stevens, with whom I studied for
many years, provided the Rainbow Bridge meditation
techniques which are described in this book. I hope their rich
and vital discoveries, unselfish service, and love and support
live on in those who carry on the work they began.
I am grateful for my studies of the Philosophy of
Individual Life as taught by John Richardson and Florence
Huntley through the School of Natural Science. These
teachings contain the clearest explanation I have ever found of
ethics as the foundation of all spiritual development. I thank
them and the many helpers who carried on their work over the
last 100 plus years. My studies with the School provided an
ethical foundation which served me well through many years
of spiritual exploration.
Many friends, family members, and coworkers have
provided love and support, and helped over the years to
increase my understanding of the processes of spiritual
unfoldment. I thank my wife Carole Beckham; my parents
Astrid and Burt Prater; my sister and brother-in-law Carole
and Ron Kidwell; my friends and co-meditators Autrey and
Donna Nassar and Coleen Stevens; my friends at the School of
Natural Science; and friends at the Rancho Santa Fe Ph.D.E.
class, especially Michael Robbins, Annie Muller, Dany Vecchio,
and Daniel Krummenacher, who made the class possible.
我与诺曼和约瑟芬·斯蒂文斯(Josephine Stevens)一起学习多
年,他们提供了本书中描述的虹桥冥想技巧。我希望他们丰富
而重要的发现,无私的服务,以及爱和支持能在那些继续他们

我感谢约翰·理查森和弗洛伦斯·亨特利在自然科学学院教授
的个人生活哲学。这些教导包含了我所发现的最清楚的解释,
What This Book is About xiii

伦理学是所有精神发展的基础。我感谢他们,感谢过去 100 多
年来继续他们工作的许多助手。我在学校的学习为我提供了一
个道德基础,通过多年的精神探索,我受益匪浅。

许多朋友、家人和同事都给予我爱和支持,多年来也帮助我
加深了对精神觉醒过程的理解。我感谢我的妻子卡罗尔·贝克汉
姆;我的父母阿斯特丽德和伯特·普拉特;我的妹妹和姐夫卡罗尔和
罗恩基德韦尔;我的朋友和共同冥想者 Autrey 和 Donna Nassar
和 Coleen Stevens;我在自然科学学院的朋友们;还有圣菲农场的
朋友们。课程,特别是迈克尔·罗宾斯,安妮·穆勒,丹妮·韦基奥
和丹尼尔·克鲁米纳切尔,他们使课程成为可能。
My wife Carole has been an inspiration to me. Her tireless
effort, love, and support, not only of me personally, but of the
cause of the masters to which she is dedicated, never ceases to
amaze me. From the depths of my heart, I thank her. We met
over 10 years ago at a Rainbow Bridge meditation group
which I was leading, through a series of fortuitous
circumstances which I can only ascribe to destiny. Many of the
insights and realizations of Bridge to Superconsciousness have
come about through long hours of discussion and through the
discoveries we have made together.
I have long felt that only the processes of spiritual
development that result in greater intelligent, loving, and
dynamic service to the cause of humanity have lasting value or
relevance. The natural occupation of those who have reached
superconsciousness is to help others reach that same state and
to serve unselfishly from that state of consciousness. Thus, by
an endless chain of teaching and realization, is the Great Work
of human enlightenment and liberation carried forward.

我的妻子卡罗尔一直激励着我。她孜孜不倦的努力、爱和支
持,不仅是对我个人的,也是对她所献身的大师们的事业的支
持,总是让我惊讶不已。我从心底里感谢她。我们十多年前在
xiv Bridge to Superconsciousness

我领导的彩虹桥禅修小组相遇,经历了一系列我只能将其归因
于命运的偶然事件。通过长时间的讨论和我们共同的发现,许
多关于通向超意识之桥的洞见和实现都是通过的。

长期以来,我一直认为,只有灵性发展的过程,才会为人类
的事业带来更大的智慧、爱和动态的服务,才具有持久的价值
或意义。那些已经达到超意识的人的自然职业是帮助其他人达
到同样的状态,并从那个意识状态无私地服务。因此,通过无
尽的教学和实现的链条,是人类启蒙和解放的伟大事业得以延
续。

Value of Experience
可贵的经验
Those truths which can be experienced and lived have the
greatest value. I encourage you to use whatever in this book
meets with intuitive recognition and inner harmonization.
Only the personal experience of superconsciousness will
finally convince us of its reality and supreme value. We are
probably drawn to a study of spiritual masters because they
exemplify the state of happiness and fulfillment that we seek.
We often seek inspiration and guidance from these Great Ones
because they have demonstrated, by their own achievements
within the human kingdom, that we too can walk where they
have walked and attain the heights they have attained, given
enough time and personal effort.
I hope that this book will help people identify with their
own souls and provide help in the processes of their own
unique spiritual unfoldment and self-realization. With
reference to any of the material contained in this book, I quote
the Buddha, “we must not believe in a thing said merely
What This Book is About xv

because it is said: nor traditions because they have been


handed down from antiquity; nor rumors, as such, nor
writings by sages, because sages wrote them, nor fancies that
we may suspect to have been inspired in us by an Angel, nor
from inferences drawn from some haphazard assumption we
may have made; nor because of what seems an analogical
necessity; nor on the mere authority of our teachers or masters.
But we are to believe when the writing, doctrine, or saying is
corroborated by our own reason and consciousness.” Jesus the
Christ said it another way in the Bible, “I taught you not to
believe merely because you have heard, but when you have
believed of your consciousness, then to act accordingly and
abundantly.”
那些可以经历和生活的真理最有价值。我鼓励你使用这本书
中遇到的任何直觉认知和内在和谐。只有超意识的个人经历才
能最终说服我们它的现实和最高价值。我们可能会被精神大师
的研究所吸引,因为他们代表了我们所追求的幸福和满足的状
态。我们常常从这些伟人身上寻求灵感和指导,因为他们通过
自己在人类王国里的成就证明了,只要有足够的时间和个人努
力,我们也能走到他们走过的地方,达到他们达到的高度。

我希望这本书能帮助人们认同自己的灵魂,并在他们自己独
特的精神解放和自我实现的过程中提供帮助。关于这本书中所
包含的任何材料,我引用佛陀的话,“我们不应该仅仅因为一
件事被说出来就相信它,也不应该因为从古代传下来的传统;也
不是谣言,也不是圣贤们的著作,因为圣贤们是这样写的,也
不是那些我们可能会怀疑是天使在启发我们的幻想,也不是从
我们可能做出的偶然假设中得出的推论;也不是因为类比的必要
性;也不是仅仅依靠老师或老师的权威。但当写作、教义或言论
被我们自己的理性和意识所证实时,我们就应该相信。耶稣基
督在圣经中说:“我教导你们,不要因为听见就信,只要信了自己
的意识,就要行事为人,并且要丰盛。”
The power aspect of certain approaches is emphasized.
This is not to minimize the importance of love and intelligence,
but to promote the necessary right use of the will to bring
about individual and global transformation during these
xvi Bridge to Superconsciousness

difficult times. Through the right use of the will, along with
love and intelligence, humanity can grow and develop in an
environment of security, peace, and prosperity, both material
and spiritual.

强调了某些方法的力量方面。这并不是要贬低爱和智慧的重
要性,而是要促进必要的正确使用意志,在这些困难时期实现
个人和全球的变革。通过正确地运用意志,以及爱和智慧,人
类可以在物质和精神上的安全、和平与繁荣的环境中成长和发
展。
Exploring Superconsciousness 1

Chapter 1—
Exploring
Superconsciousnes
s 超级意识
A s humans, we represent the culmination of physical
evolution and contain within ourselves all the structures
necessary for the realization of superconsciousness.
Superconsciousness is the direct experience of who we actually
are as the soul, or essential self. Because the experience of
superconsciousness transcends words and is out of the range
of our so-called normal human experience, it is difficult to
define. Perhaps we could say that superconsciousness is the
state in which we experience bliss, dynamic will,
unconditional love, intuitional intelligence, and abiding peace.
Complete, permanent, and undeviating
superconsciousness is a rare summit of human achievement,
but even a touch of the superconscious state can illumine an
entire lifetime. Superconsciousness is one aspect of spiritual
liberation, or mastership, which is freedom from the
reincarnational cycle of birth and death and the overcoming of
any tendency towards actions, feelings, and thoughts that are
not in harmony with right will, unconditional love, mental
clarity, and abiding peace.
One of the best analogies for spiritual liberation and
mastership is gravity. We are all aware that a rocket ship, as it
2 Bridge to Superconsciousness

is rising through the air, is subject less and less to the force of
gravity until the point where gravity is completely overcome.
In a similar way, a master—a highly evolved human who has
achieved superconsciousness—has overcome the gravity of the
physical body, emotions, mind, and personality, and is soaring
free in the realms of the soul.
作为人类,我们代表了物质进化的顶点,并在我们自己内部
包含了实现超意识所必需的所有结构。超意识是我们作为灵魂
或本质自我的直接体验。因为超意识的体验超越了文字,超出
了我们所谓的正常人类体验的范围,所以很难定义。也许我们
可以说,超意识是我们体验幸福、动力意志、无条件的爱、直
觉智慧和持久和平的状态。

完全的,永久的,不偏离的超意识是人类成就的一个罕见的
顶峰,但即使是超意识状态的一点触摸也能照亮一生。超意识
是精神解放的一个方面,或者说是主宰者,它是从出生和死亡
的轮回周期中解放出来的,并且克服任何与正确意志、无条件
的爱、头脑清晰和持久和平不和谐的行为、情感和思想倾向。

精神解放和主宰地位的最佳类比之一是重力。我们都知道,
火箭船在空中上升时,受到的重力越来越小,直到完全克服重
力为止。以类似的方式,一个大师——一个高度进化的人类,
已经实现了超意识——已经克服了肉体、情感、心灵和人格的
重力,在灵魂的领域里自由翱翔。
But how can we get to this state? Only through personal
effort. When evolution reaches the human stage, the processes
of automatic development found in the lower kingdoms end
and individual work begins. Once the human stage is reached,
latent powers and capacities can only be unfolded through
personal effort in cooperation with the spiritual laws that
govern such development.
Such unfoldment can occur slowly, moderately, or rapidly,
depending upon the amount of effort we put forth in the
intelligent and skillful conformity with spiritual laws. A
number of techniques and processes that can speed up this
development are given in this book. When these processes are
Exploring Superconsciousness 3

used in harmony with each other, they act synergistically for


the greatest benefit.
There are many techniques that can facilitate the
unfoldment of the superconscious state. The two techniques of
central importance, preliminary to all other processes, are the
widening of the antahkarana, or Rainbow Bridge, which aids
in connecting to the soul, or essential self, and the practice, to
the best of our ability, of the principles of right living, or
ethics.
The antahkarana is an energy/consciousness pathway that
runs from above the head to below the feet. It is also called the
Rainbow Bridge, or the central channel, and we use all three
terms interchangeably. As the connection between the soul
and its bodies of expression, this channel usually exists as a
thin strand, but can be widened, strengthened, and extended
with the processes outlined in this book. This widening
process can connect us powerfully to spiritual energies and
states of consciousness which we can use to amplify and
accelerate whatever processes of personal growth we might be
using. The complete process of building the antahkarana is
given in Chapter 3—Building the Bridge.
但我们怎样才能达到这种状态呢?只有通过个人努力。当进
化到达人类阶段,在较低的王国中发现的自动发展的过程就结
束了,个体的工作就开始了。一旦到达人类阶段,潜在的力量
和能力只能通过个人努力与支配这种发展的精神法则合作来展
现。

这样的展开可以缓慢地、适度地或迅速地发生,这取决于我
们在灵性法则的智慧与技巧上所付出的努力。本书提供了一些
可以加速这种开发的技术和过程。当这些过程相互协调使用时,
它们协同作用,以获得最大的利益。

有许多技术可以促进超意识状态的展开。对所有其他过程来
说,最重要的两项技术是拓宽“无毒蛇”(antahkarana)或“彩
4 Bridge to Superconsciousness

虹桥”(Rainbow Bridge),这两项技术有助于连接灵魂或本质自
我,以及尽我们所能实践正确生活或伦理原则。

antahkarana 是一条能量/意识路径,从头顶到脚下。它也被
称为彩虹桥,或中央通道,我们可以互换使用这三个术语。作
为灵魂和它的表达体之间的联系,这个通道通常以一根细链的
形式存在,但是可以通过本书中概述的过程来拓宽、加强和扩
展。这个扩展的过程可以将我们强大地连接到精神能量和意识
状态,我们可以使用它们来放大和加速我们可能使用的个人成
长过程。《造桥》第三章给出了造桥的完整过程。
The first step in widening the Rainbow Bridge is to connect
to the soul, or essential self, through reciting the Soul
Mantram, “I am the soul, I am the light divine, I am love, I am will,
I am fixed design.” The next step in widening the Rainbow
Bridge is to live as the soul by practicing those right attitudes
and actions that are characteristic of soul-consciousness, such
as goodwill, truthfulness, and so on. Some of the elements of
right living and their consequent benefits are covered in
Chapter 2—Living Ethics and Spiritual Powers.
The superconscious state is experienced as a complete state
of fulfillment and happiness. It is this quality of completeness
which, in part, makes the state so remarkable and
distinguishes it from other lesser states.
In the superconscious state, every moment is experienced
as fulfilling, with no need to worry about the future or dwell
on the past. The superconscious state is preeminently a state of
present-time consciousness, in which all of our energies can be
given to the tasks at hand. In that state we act, not out of a
need to act, but as a result of the spontaneous outflowing of
our essential nature.

拓宽彩虹桥的第一步是通过背诵灵魂咒来连接灵魂或本质自
我,“我是灵魂,我是神圣的光,我是爱,我是意志,我是固
定的设计。”“拓宽彩虹桥的下一步是通过实践那些正确的态
度和行为,如善意、真实等,作为灵魂而活。”权利生活的一
Exploring Superconsciousness 5

些要素及其相应的益处在第二章中有涉及到,生活伦理和精神
力量。

超意识状态是一种完全的满足和幸福的状态。正是这种完整
性的品质,在一定程度上使这个国家如此引人注目,并使它有
别于其他较小的国家。

在超意识状态下,每一刻都是充实的,不需要担心未来或沉
湎于过去。超意识状态是当下意识的一种状态,在这种状态中,
我们所有的能量都可以投入到手头的任务中。在这种状态下,
我们行动,不是出于行动的需要,而是由于我们本质的自然流
露。

Reincarnation and
Superconsciousness
轮回和超意识
There is much support for the validity of reincarnation,
such as the spontaneous memories of other lives, memories
experienced through meditation, manifested skills which were
never taught in this lifetime, as well as the statements of those
spiritual masters who state that reincarnation is a fact, based
on their personal experience. If we accept reincarnation as a
working hypothesis, we can begin to see how the individual
soul, through countless incarnations of growth and
development, can eventually reach the superconscious level.
This process of development through successive lives
involves the sequential appropriation, development, mastery,
and transcending of the many stages along the path of
evolutionary unfoldment. At first, this process is mostly an
unconscious response to environmental impacts and demands,
as well as inner desires, urges, and aspirations. As evolution
continues, the process become more conscious, involving the
6 Bridge to Superconsciousness

awareness of moving definitely along a pathway towards


higher levels through active cooperation with the laws which
govern such evolutionary unfoldment.
In the beginning of our reincarnational journey, we
function almost completely on the physical level. Through the
struggle for survival at that level, with its accompanying
experiences of the dualities of pleasure and pain, the emotions
are developed. Thus, to the purely physical reactions are
added the reactions of the emotions in ever increasing
complexity and refinement. Then through the expansion of
consciousness which occurs in response to the physical quest
for survival and the emotional quest for satisfaction, the mind
begins to develop. Mental energies are increasingly added to
the struggles of the physical and emotional levels. The mind
begins to take on a life of its own, and we seek to learn and to
apply what we have learned in our lives. We think and reason,
succeed or fail, and learn in the process.
有很多支持转世的有效性,如自发的其他生活的记忆,记忆经

一个有效的假设,我们就能开始看到个体灵魂,通过无数次的
轮回成长和发展,如何最终达到超意识的水平。

这一通过连续生命的发展过程包括在进化展开的道路上的许
多阶段的顺序占有、发展、掌握和超越。首先,这个过程主要
是对环境影响和要求的无意识反应,以及内心的渴望、欲望和
渴望。随着进化的继续,这一过程变得更加有意识,包括通过
与控制这种进化展开的法则的积极合作,明确地沿着通向更高
层次的道路前进的意识。

在转世之旅的开始,我们几乎完全在物质层面上运作。通过
在这一层次上的生存斗争,伴随着快乐与痛苦的二元体验,情
感得以发展。因此,在纯粹的物理反应之外,还增加了情感反
应的复杂性和精确性。然后通过意识的扩展,在对生存的物质
追求和对满足的情感追求的反应中发生,心智开始发展。精神
能量日益增加到身体和情感层面的斗争中。大脑开始有自己的

生活,我们寻求学习并将所学应用到生活中。我们思考和推理,
成功或失败,并在过程中学习。
After transiting through the physical, emotional, and
mental levels, the next step we reach in our reincarnational
journey is that of the personality, which is created when we
succeed in coordinating and integrating our developed mind,
emotions, and physical body. As our personality develops, we
find that we become stronger and more powerful than others
who may only be functioning on one or more of the previous
levels.
At this point, there is the potential that our life may take a
selfish turn if we impose our will on others. If we are unwise,
we may have to spend many lifetimes paying off karmic debts
for the misuse of our energies in destructive ways. But, if we
are fortunate, we stay on the constructive path and learn
quickly the limitations of personality life.
However, no matter what path we take, we do eventually
learn the limitations of personality life. Even if our personality
life is relatively good, and we both give and receive much of
value, there comes a time when even the greatest achievements
of personality life no longer satisfy, and we turn our attention
to that which is beyond the personality—the soul.
At this point of transition, we stand poised on the
threshold of the soul, or superconscious, realm. Only a slight
step forward is needed to embark on that most wonderful of
journeys towards the higher worlds. As we step forward and
learn from others who have already made the journey, we
begin to intensify our aspiration to reach those higher levels.
This force of aspiration helps move our physical, emotional,
mental, and personality natures forward towards the higher
levels. We might say that we are beginning to free ourselves
from the gravitational pull of the lower nature; as we ascend
higher, we are less drawn back to states of lower
consciousness. Once we have turned towards the soul, we are
8 Bridge to Superconsciousness

on our way to achieving total liberation from the pull of the


lower nature.
This transition period between personality and soul focus
may be a time of confusion and ineffectiveness. It may even
appear outwardly to be a step back, but in actuality it is a
necessary prelude to further advancement. If we have
developed a coherent philosophy of life which has helped us
function effectively at the personality level, we may now start
to question our philosophy, as long held beliefs, nurtured by
the life of the personality, begin to appear inadequate in the
light of our changing perspective at this time of transition.
At this point, we can either retreat back into the personality
life, trying to make it work again, or we can seek beyond
ourselves for the answer. If we choose to seek, in time our
questioning will be answered by soul response and by the
positive spiritual forces which are always eager to help sincere
seekers.
With the first glimmers of dawning realization, we begin to
redirect our energies along more spiritual lines, suspecting
that there is a unity to all of life which had previously escaped
us.
We begin to realize that we are more than this separate
personality we have so long identified with, that we are part of
a greater reality that holds the key to the satisfaction and
happiness we seek. We begin to think that there may be, and
most likely are, states of consciousness beyond our present
experience that can provide lasting satisfaction.
We begin to listen to the great teachers and leaders of
humanity who have spoken of these states through the
testimony of their direct personal experience. We begin to
think that they might be telling the truth and presenting an
opportunity for us to achieve what they have achieved. We not
Exploring Superconsciousness 9

only listen to them, but begin to follow the path they have laid
out.
As we advance along this path and reach out to the soul,
the energies of the soul begin to descend into our mind,
emotions, body, and personality and transform them. Through
our cooperative attitude and effort to live rightly in terms of
spiritual principles, we open a channel to the higher realms
along which superconscious energies can flow, bringing an
ever expanding vision of a higher reality. An inherent
intelligence and transformative power accompanies these
descending soul energies. Just as the energies of nature can
heal our physical bodies in ways beyond our own conscious
capabilities, so the energies of the soul can help transform us,
once we become open to them.

Spiritual Teachings
As we move towards the soul, we search for teachings that
can help us through the process of growth and can illumine
the meaning of life and our place in it.
Throughout its long history, humanity has always had
spiritual teachers who have presented some aspect of truth to
those receptive. These spiritual teachings, known as the
Ageless Wisdom, were necessarily limited by the capacities of
both the teachers and students, and by the thought patterns
and terms of any given culture. Nevertheless, these spiritual
teachers have worked constantly to communicate as much of
their teaching to humanity as they could, adapting these
teachings to the various cultures and levels of education
within the general body of humanity.
Many times these spiritual teachings became distorted by
subsequent additions so that the original purity and clarity of
the presentation was lost, even becoming corrupted by politics
10 Bridge to Superconsciousness

and narrow self interest so that they fostered slavery instead of


liberation. Lack of success is often because true spiritual
leaders can never interfere with the free will of humanity.
In spite of all these problems, spiritual teachers appear to a
waiting humanity, sometimes starting new movements,
sometimes coming to revitalize already existing movements.
Working in many different fields of human activity, they
always bring the inspiration of the soul to their work and
stress service and inclusiveness. Charles DeMotte in his book,
The Inner Side of History, discusses many of these leaders and
their movements.
The spiritual masters have been behind most, if not all, of
the constructive movements for the upliftment of humanity
throughout human history, either directly through the work of
their personal representatives, or indirectly by guiding
humanity with energies, ideas, and inspiration in line with
their plan for the evolutionary unfoldment of life on earth.
An enumeration of these movements, their founders, and
advanced students would cover most of the significant
movements and figures of human history. Christianity,
Buddhism, Zoroastrianism, Taoism, Confucianism, Hinduism,
Islam, and many other movements in science, the arts, politics,
economics, communication, and so on, were initiated by a
group of liberated and spiritually conscious masters and their
more advanced students, in order to guide humanity in its
evolutionary journey. These masters and initiates mostly work
behind the scenes on the vibratory level of soul-consciousness,
which humanity can reach through a process of personal
development.
Most of the time these spiritual masters and their students
have been representatives of the internal spiritual leadership of
the planet, called by many names throughout human history—
the Lodge of the Masters, the Spiritual Hierarchy, the School of
the Masters, and so on. In Bridge to Superconsciousness, we use
Exploring Superconsciousness 11

the terms Spiritual Hierarchy and the School of the Masters


interchangeably to refer to this guiding group of spiritual
masters.
The School of the Masters, as a group of advanced
humanity working on many different levels and in many
different areas of expertise, has been primarily responsible for
the evolutionary development of humanity for thousands
upon thousands of years.
It must be emphasized that rather than imposing its will on
humanity, the School of the Masters offers opportunities which
are appropriate to our present level of development. In this
way, each of us has the opportunity to be guided by those with
superior knowledge. In this process of constructive guidance,
there is no sense of imposition, superiority, or control
involved. Rather, we become co-creators in a cooperative
endeavor governed by the principles of free will and
individual freedom. We can help the masters fulfill the plan for
the evolutionary development of humanity and share what we
learn with others.
Authentic spiritual teachings have a quality of clarity to
them which we can discern through our unfolding intuition.
Authentic spiritual teachings are not separative, but instead
they stress the oneness of all. They promote practical service to
humanity and group cooperation. They present a positive,
affirming attitude towards life, yet they are not unrealistic.
They deal with truth, even if that truth is uncomfortable or
unpopular.

Ageless Wisdom Teachings


永恒的智慧教导
A contemporary teaching from the spiritual masters is that
of the Tibetan Master Djwahl Khul, written thorough the
12 Bridge to Superconsciousness

cooperation of Alice Bailey in the process of independent


telepathic communication. Alice Bailey wrote a number of fine
books on her own, including Consciousness of the Atom, From
Intellect to Intuition, and From Bethlehem to Calvary, which
demonstrates that she was a capable and intelligent teacher in
her own right.
The development of the Rainbow Bridge processes arose
out of the efforts of Norman and Josephine Stevens to modify,
qualify, and adapt the spiritual teachings of Djwhal Khul. The
Phase I and Phase II Rainbow Bridge books describe the
system they developed. Through their work, they followed the
Tibetan master’s injunction to adapt the Ageless Wisdom
teachings and make them practical and relevant to modern
life.
The words of Djwhal Khul and other writings of a high
spiritual nature have an inherent energy, or mantric quality,
which is capable of transforming consciousness and expanding
awareness quite apart from the strictly mental content. If we
read the Tibetan’s books, or any other authentic and high-level
spiritual teaching, with an attitude of inner receptivity, this
inherent energy can flow into our mind, even if initially there
is little intellectual understanding. We can pause and think
about words or phrases that have particular meaning for us. If
we read the same material again and again, we find deeper
levels of meaning. As we develop spiritually, our ability to
understand and apply the teachings increases.

The Masters Externalize


大师具体化
For most of its history, the Spiritual Hierarchy has chosen
to remain in the background, presenting its teachings through
its representatives without overtly stating its existence or
revealing its overall plan. Aside from the more public figures
of history, many of its representatives have worked in
obscurity so that they could carry out their plans with a
minimum of interference from societies which often contained
elements openly hostile to human freedom and betterment.
But now, according to the Tibetan, the Spiritual Hierarchy
is preparing for a new phase in its expression, the
externalization program. Under this program, it will gradually
reveal itself to humanity and take a more overt, direct, and
active role in the direction of planetary life, with the
cooperation of humanity.
在其历史的大部分时间里,精神等级选择留在背景中,通过
它的代表来展示它的教导,而不是公开声明它的存在或揭示它
的总体计划。除了历史上更多的公众人物之外,它的许多代表
都默默无闻地工作,以便他们能够在很少受到社会的干涉的情
况下执行他们的计划,而社会往往包含公开敌视人类自由和改
善的因素。
14 Bridge to Superconsciousness

但是现在,根据西藏人的说法,精神层次正在为其表达的一
个新阶段——外化程序做准备。在这个项目下,它将逐步向人
类展现自己,在人类的合作下,在行星生命的方向上,采取更
加公开、直接和积极的作用。
The first phase of this program of externalization began in
the late 1800s. A number of movements were inaugurated at
that time to prepare humanity for the appearance of the
masters on a worldwide basis. The School of Natural Science
was founded by John Richardson and Florence Huntley in an
effort to communicate the masters’ teachings in the language
of exact science. The Theosophical movement was founded by
H. P. Blavatsky as a modern day presentation of the Ageless
Wisdom philosophy and as a preparation for the later teaching
given out by the Tibetan Master Djwhal Khul through Alice
Bailey.
In the future, the Spiritual Hierarchy will be available
increasingly as a guiding, not a controlling, force. It is only in
response to the readiness and willingness of humanity that the
Spiritual Hierarchy can externalize at all, since it cannot,
according to spiritual principles, infringe upon humanity’s
free will.
The Spiritual Hierarchy can now present a more in-depth
version of its teachings to a larger number of people than
perhaps at any time in human history due to modern
languages enriched by scientific thought and terminology;
advanced electronic communication systems such as the
internet, fax machines, and international telecommunications
systems; and the incarnation of large numbers of advanced
souls.
The decision of the Spiritual Hierarchy to externalize also
presents an opportunity to humanity for increased access to
knowledge, both in communicated form and by the living
example of these enlightened beings. With the cooperation of
Exploring Superconsciousness 15

an advanced humanity drawn from every area of human


endeavor, race, culture, and religion, we at last have a means
of globalizing the teachings of the masters.

这个外部化项目的第一阶段始于 19 世纪末。当时,一些运
动开始了,目的是让人类在世界范围内为大师们的出现做好准
备。自然科学学院由约翰·理查森和弗洛伦斯·亨特利创立,旨在
用精确科学的语言来传达大师们的教导。神智运动是由 h·p·布拉
瓦茨基发起的,是对永恒的智慧哲学的现代展示,也是为后来
由西藏大师贾维尔·库尔通过爱丽丝·贝利传授的教义做准备。

在未来,精神等级将越来越多地作为一种引导而不是控制的
力量。只有在对人类的准备和意愿作出反应时,精神层次才能
外化,因为根据精神原则,它不能侵犯人类的自由意志。

由于科学思想和术语丰富了现代语言,精神等级现在可以向
更多的人展示其教义的更深入的版本,这可能是人类历史上任
何时候都无法做到的;先进的电子通讯系统,例如互联网、传真
机及国际电讯系统;大量高级灵魂的化身。

灵性等级制度的外化决定也为人类提供了一个机会,以增加
获得知识的机会,无论是通过交流的形式,还是通过这些开明
存在的活生生的例子。在来自人类努力、种族、文化和宗教各
个领域的先进人类的合作下,我们终于有了将大师们的教导全
球化的手段。

Return of the Christ


One of the more revolutionary teachings related to the
externalization of the Spiritual Hierarchy is the statement by
the Tibetan Master Djwhal Khul that the return of the Christ
on the physical plane is not a vague mystical concept but a
definitely planned event being prepared for and organized in a
systematic way.
16 Bridge to Superconsciousness

According to the Tibetan, this return has been prophesied


as the return of Jesus the Christ in Christianity, the Messiah in
Judaism, the Iman Mahdi in Islam, Krishna in Hinduism, the
Great Spirit or Massauu of the Hopis, Lord Maitreya in
Buddhism, and others.

The Spiritual Hierarchy and


the Forces of Tyranny
The masters carefully present their teachings in such a way
that the individual or group is at all times free to choose or
reject what they have to offer. As with all other studies, the
masters have thoroughly analyzed the process of
constructively presenting knowledge to humanity and have
discovered the underlying principles involved.
Because of their vastly increased power, they are extremely
careful not to unduly influence those whom they would teach
or those whom they would authorize to teach others. Their
typical approach, or that of their authorized representatives, is
to first find out through a process of discrete inquiry if a
person is interested in hearing about the Ageless Wisdom
teachings, without imposing or trying to sell the teachings in
any way.
Only when a sincere and heartfelt interest has been shown
will the teachings then be shared, but in a non-attached way
which does not require that the teaching be accepted except
through the conscious free will of the individuals involved.
Just as the Spiritual Hierarchy has recognized and supported
the free will of humanity throughout human history, there
have also been opposing forces which have worked to enslave
humanity and bend people to their own selfish purposes.
These forces of tyranny have manifested through many
Exploring Superconsciousness 17

different individuals and movements. Most of the time they


present a benevolent front in order to hide their true
intentions. But an analysis of their operating principles usually
shows clearly where they stand. One of the most extreme
examples of the forces of tyranny in recent times is that of Nazi
Germany.
Today, given the proliferation of individuals and
movements claiming to be helping humanity, it is essential
that we understand and differentiate between these two
opposing influences.
Following is a list outlining the working principles of the
Spiritual Hierarchy and the forces of tyranny. Although the list
is by no means exhaustive, and not all factors will apply in
every situation, the comparison should be helpful in
evaluating the complexities of the present spiritual
movements.
A good way to evaluate a group or movement with which
we are involved, or plan to become involved, is to ask
ourselves the question, “Could I leave this group or movement

make me stay?” If there is any form of control or
manipulation, chances are the group or movement is in some
degree destructive.
If a group or movement values each of its members for
their uniqueness, respects their honest input and evaluation,
and makes the welfare of its individual members a first
priority, chances are the group or movement is constructive
and has a good foundation to remain so.

Piscean to Aquarian Age


Each astrological age brings with it certain energies which
condition the planetary aura and facilitate the development of
20 Bridge to Superconsciousness

certain aspects within the various kingdoms of nature,


including the human. The Piscean Age was characterized by
the ideal of the great leader who guided his followers in the
ways of truth and light. It emphasized heaven as an objective
above and beyond the life of earth. The physical body was
often viewed as an obstacle to entry into heavenly realms far
from the struggle and strife of earthly existence.
In the Aquarian Age, the objective of humanity is to
transform the earth so that all have an opportunity to grow
and develop in a supportive environment. The Aquarian Age
is characterized by group activity and group work and the
emphasis is on the power of the group to enhance spiritual life.
This group emphasis could have a negative impact if the
group activity overrides the welfare of the individuals within
the group. But hopefully group activity will facilitate the
maximum development of each member within the group in a
way that supports individual freedom and conscious, willing
cooperation.

Sixth to Seventh Ray


In addition to the astrological energies conditioning our
earth, we are subject to the energies of the rays, which are
directed energy emanations from the constellation Ursa Major,
or the Great Bear. The influence of these rays is cyclic in
nature, with some rays, or combinations of rays, being more
dominant than others during various historical periods.
Currently, the Sixth Ray of Idealism and Devotion, which
has had a major impact on world civilization for the past 2,000
years, is decreasing in strength, while the Seventh Ray of
Ceremonial Order, Organization, and Magic is increasing in
strength. This changeover of major ray influences is having a
profound impact on world civilization and accounts for some
of the present day turmoil as the structures and institutions
Exploring Superconsciousness 21

formed under the influence of the Sixth Ray are now being
forced to change to accommodate the radically different
influences of the Seventh Ray.
In addition to the planetary impact of the rays, there are
also individual ray influences. Michael Robbins, in his two-
volume work Tapestry of the Gods, does an excellent job of
exploring the impacts of ray influences on individuals.
The planetary ray influences are a vast study in
themselves, and the masters generally specialize in working
with certain kinds of ray energies so that together they are
equipped to handle whatever rays are impacting the earth or
affecting their individual students. Thus the ashrams of the
Spiritual Hierarchy work along seven major lines of activity,
each of which corresponds to a ray energy.
Here are the seven major lines of activity based upon the
rays.

1. Ray 1—Will or Power. Activity: Government and politics,


international relations, and executive action. Symbol: The
sword or baton.

2. Ray 2—Love-Wisdom. Activity: Education and teaching,


communication using the media, writing, speaking, radio,
television, audiovisual methods, and the Internet. Symbol:
The crossed pens.

3. Ray 3—Active Intelligence. Activity: Finance, trade,


business, and economics. Symbol: The spinning wheel.

Rays 4 through 7 stem from or are related to Ray 3 because


they are specialized types of intelligent activity.

4. Ray 4—Harmony Through Conflict. Activity: Sociology,


including race and culture, the application of the principles
of cooperation and conciliation, creative aspiration as
22 Bridge to Superconsciousness

expressed through all the arts. Symbol: The balance or


scales.

5. Ray 5—Concrete Mind and Science. Activity: The human


capacity to think, plan, design, concentrate, and
reconstruct the world and all else; the sciences, including
medicine and psychology. Symbol: The crucible.

6. Ray 6—Idealism and Devotion. Activity: Religion, ideology,


and philosophy, all concepts and aspirations for the good
and true. Symbol: The chalice.

7. Ray 7—Ceremonial Order, Organization, and Magic. Activity:


Structuring of society through institutions and the
ordering of power through ceremony, protocol, and ritual.
Symbol: The crystal, the torch, the energy of life.

Accelerated Evolution, or
Initiation
According to the Tibetan Master Djwahl Khul, the Spiritual
Hierarchy has developed a process by which they can
accelerate evolution for those who prepare themselves. They
term this
process of accelerated evolution “initiation.”
In the process of initiation, the candidate, who has
undergone a rigorous program of preparation, is assisted in
the process of his or her development through the scientific
application of spiritual energies. These energies act safely, but
powerfully as a catalyst for a rapid expansion of consciousness
and energy capacity.
The process of initiation is covered extensively in the
Tibetan’s writings, particular in Initiation, Human and Solar.
Exploring Superconsciousness 23

Niels Brønsted wrote a useful article, “Initiation,” which


appeared in the Spring/Summer 1998 issue of the Journal of
Esoteric Psychology, in which he described some of the
requirements for the initiatory process.
Initiation is another example of the help that is available
from the Spiritual Hierarchy, provided we have prepared
ourselves sufficiently to benefit constructively from their
assistance. If a large number of those who tread the spiritul
path participate in this initiatory process, the effect would be
to accelerate evolutionary development and bring
superconsciousness closer to becoming a global reality.

Globalization of
Superconsciousness
In this chapter, we have set the individual development of
superconsciousness within the context of the work of the
masters to uplift humanity. If we accept that humanity as a
group can evolve, it may be that superconsciousness will be
the prevailing mode of consciousness in the future, just as self-
consciousness is the prevailing mode of consciousness today.
Maurice Bucke, in his book Cosmic Consciousness, thought he
had detected a trend in that direction, although he used the
term cosmic consciousness instead of superconsciousness for
what I take to be the same state. The implications of such a
trend are far reaching. If superconsciousness, or cosmic
consciousness, becomes the prevailing mode of consciousness
for humanity, the new energies and insights that would be
released would completely transform human society and raise
it to a much higher level.
Living Ethics and Spiritual Powers 19

Chapter 2—
Living Ethics
and Spiritual
Powers
M any thousands of years ago, the School of the Masters
found that the practice of ethics is the indispensable
foundation for spiritual development, liberation, and
mastership. Using the method of direct personal experience,
they honed their knowledge of ethical principles and taught
them to humanity in various ways, tailoring their presentation
to whatever people or culture they were addressing.
In this chapter, we cover some of these ethical principles
and the powers that result from them, which have been
demonstrated in varying degrees by the outstanding leaders of
humanity.
The masters found that the practice of ethical principles to
a high level of proficiency resulted in the development of soul
powers and led to a greater effectiveness in the world of
everyday activity. Practicing ethical principles of living to a
high level of proficiency we call “living ethics,” as taken from
the teachings of the Master Morya given through the Agni
Yoga books. The use of the term living ethics emphasizes that
these principles are life and consciousness affirming and are
exemplified in our lives to such an extent that they become an
essential part of us.
20 Bridge to Superconsciousness

The practice of all the necessary ethical principles of living


tends to bring about the experience of the superconscious
state.
When we have mastered the practice of living ethics as
outlined in this chapter, we will develop the soul powers
necessary to fulfill our goals and intelligently help others. In
this way, individual good and social good are harmonized.

几千年前,大师学派发现,道德实践是精神发展、解放和主宰
的不可缺少的基础。通过直接的个人经验,他们磨练了自己对
伦理原则的知识,并以各种方式向人类传授这些知识,根据他
们面对的人或文化量身定制他们的演讲。

在这一章中,我们将介绍其中一些伦理原则及其产生的力量,
这些原则在不同程度上已被人类杰出的领袖所证明。

大师们发现,对伦理原则的高度熟练的实践导致了灵魂力量的
发展,并在日常活动中产生了更大的效力。将生活的伦理原则
练习到一个高水平的熟练程度,我们称之为“生活伦理”,这
是从莫亚大师通过阿格尼瑜伽书给出的教导。生活伦理这个术
语的使用强调了这些原则是对生命和意识的肯定,并在我们的
生活中得到了充分的例证,以至于它们成为我们生活中必不可
少的一部分。

所有必需的生活伦理原则的实践往往会带来超意识状态的体验。
Living Ethics and Spiritual Powers 21

当我们掌握了本章所述的生活伦理实践之后,我们将发展出实
现目标和明智地帮助他人所必需的灵魂力量。这样,个人的善
与社会的善就和谐了。

The Rainbow Bridge


Contribution
Linking with the soul and widening the Rainbow Bridge,
as described in Chapter 3—Building the Bridge, supports the
application of living ethics by adding the light, love, and
power of the soul to our efforts. The nature of the soul is to act
with the highest standards of behavior and for the good of all.
By identifying with and acting as the soul, we can accelerate
our ability to successfully apply the principles of living ethics.
As we widen the central channel and maintain our
identification with the soul, or essential self, the light of the
soul will help us to see more clearly what we should do, the
love of the soul will help motivate us to act rightly out of our
concern for others, and the will of the soul will help us to
manifest living ethics in our behavior. When the channel is
widened, energy flows more freely and blocks are eliminated.
This makes it less likely that energy will congest in certain
areas and contribute to unwise and unbalanced behavior.

连接心灵和拓宽彩虹桥,正如第三章所描述的那样,通过在
我们的努力中加入灵魂的光、爱和力量,来支持生命伦理的应
用。灵魂的本质是为了所有人的利益,以最高的行为标准行动。
通过认同和行动作为灵魂,我们可以加速我们的能力,成功地
应用生活伦理的原则。
22 Bridge to Superconsciousness

我们扩大中央通道和保持我们灵魂的认同,或者必要的自我,
灵魂的光将帮助我们更清楚地看到我们应该做的,灵魂的爱会帮
助激励我们采取正确的关心他人,和灵魂的将会帮助我们体现生
活伦理的行为。当通道加宽时,能量流动更自由,块被消除。
这就降低了能量在某些领域聚集的可能性,并导致不明智和不
平衡的行为。

The Value of Living Ethics


The value of the practice of living ethics:
• Increases positive reactions and minimizes negative
reactions (positive and negative karma). If we are
constantly engaging in destructive actions, these actions
will come back to us as retributive karma which we will
have to live through as a learning experience, either in this
lifetime or future lifetimes. On the other hand, the buildup
of positive karma, resulting from the practice of living
ethics, will aid whatever we are doing and help to bring
about those situations and opportunities in which we can
fulfill our individual destiny.

• Promotes happiness by helping to develop good social


relationships based on mutual respect, consistency, and
goodwill. Much of our fulfillment in life depends upon
good relationships with others. These relationships are
supported by consistent ethical behavior.

• Helps us to create expressions of the highest and best


within us by aligning us with the principles that build up
and integrate the various forms and activities of life.

• Draws us closer to the superconscious state because the


principles of living ethics exemplify the qualities, attitudes,
and relationships that are found within, and promoted by,
the superconscious state, such as goodwill, love,
Living Ethics and Spiritual Powers 23

intelligence, concern for others, and the desire to serve and


manifest the highest.

• Supports the building of strong, purified, and refined


physical and subtle bodies through which the energies of
the soul can fully manifest. The matter that is built into the
bodies and the matter that is eliminated from the bodies
are largely determined by the quality of the life we live.

• Helps maintain a balanced psychological state by


promoting the healthy development and integration of all
the various aspects of our being.

• Helps us transform our entire personality structure,


aligning it with the soul and with the constructive
principle of nature so that the personality can fully express
the energy and consciousness of higher spiritual states.
• 实践生活伦理的价值:

• •增加正面反应,减少负面反应(正面和负面因果报
应)。如果我们不断地从事破坏性的行为,这些行为将会以
报应的业力返回给我们,我们将不得不作为一种学习体验来
生活,无论是在此生还是在未来的有生之年。另一方面,生
活伦理实践所产生的正业力的积累,将帮助我们做任何事情,
并帮助我们带来那些我们可以实现个人命运的情况和机会。

• •通过建立基于相互尊重、一致性和善意的良好社
会关系来促进幸福。我们生活中的许多成就都取决于与他人
的良好关系。这些关系是由一致的道德行为所支撑的。

• •帮助我们创造最高和最好的表达,通过使我们与
建立和整合生活的各种形式和活动的原则一致。

• •使我们更接近超意识状态,因为生活伦理的原则

The Science of Living Ethics


Living ethics is an exact science which has been verified by
those advanced beings, or masters, who can follow the journey
of the soul through successive lifetimes, seeing the inevitable
working out of the law of cause and effect in relation to both
good and evil actions.
Considering the necessity and great benefit of living ethics,
we can understand why the spiritual and philosophical
teachers of humanity, such as Jesus, Krishna, Buddha,
Mohammed, Plato, Moses, Patanjali, Confucius, and countless
others throughout human history have stressed the value and
importance of ethical principles. These teachers, and others
less well known, have emphasized that the practice of ethics is
the foundation and essential first requirement of spiritual
development and of a constructive society, however they may
define these terms.
While the individual dogmas of different religions and
philosophies may be divergent, the consciousness and
lifeaffirming ethical principles within such systems make
harmony between them possible. Although the principles of
Living Ethics and Spiritual Powers 25

living ethics are universal and eternal, their expression and


application must be adapted to a particular society and culture
for them to be useful.

生活伦理是一门精确的科学,它已被那些先进的存在或大师
证实,他们可以跟随灵魂的旅程,通过连续的一生,看到不可
避免的工作,因果法则与善恶的行为。

考虑到生活伦理的必要性和巨大的利益,我们可以理解为什
么人类的精神和哲学老师,如耶稣,奎师那,佛陀,穆罕默德,
柏拉图,摩西,帕坦伽利,孔子和无数人在人类历史上强调伦
理原则的价值和重要性。这些教师和其他不太知名的教师强调,
道德实践是精神发展和建设社会的基础和基本的首要要求,无
论他们如何定义这些术语。

虽然不同宗教和哲学的个人教义可能是不同的,但这种体系
中的意识和肯定生命的伦理原则使它们之间的和谐成为可能。
虽然生活伦理的原则是普遍和永恒的,但它们的表达和应用必
须适应特定的社会和文化,才能发挥作用。

Systems of Ethics
Principles of living have varying degrees of usefulness for
evolutionary development beginning with conditioned
morality, followed by conventional, or socially acceptable,
morality, then by reality-based ethics, and finally by living
ethics. Conventional morality is typically a blend of
conditioned morality and realitybased ethics.
Conditioned morality consists of edicts by a society
concerning right and wrong. Punishment for the violation of
these standards is often severe, and those governed by these
26 Bridge to Superconsciousness

standards often feel powerless and devalued, with little chance


to decide what is right for themselves, or even what is right
based on any objective sense of how the world actually works.
Conditioned morality is often used by repressive
leadership as a means for controlling people. Mind-control
cults are a current day example of the manipulative use of
conditioned morality. It often requires a great deal of personal
work, and often outside help, to free a person from the
bondage of conditioned morality. When an entire society is
limited by conditioned morality, constructive change can be
slow and difficult. With conditioned morality the supreme
principle is obedience, and the freedom of the individual is not
considered as important.
生活原则对于进化发展有不同程度的有用性,从有条件的道
德开始,然后是传统的,或社会可接受的道德,然后是基于现
实的伦理,最后是生活伦理。传统道德是条件性道德和现实伦
理的典型结合。

有条件的道德是由一个关于对与错的社会的法令组成的。对
违反这些标准的人的惩罚往往是严厉的,那些受这些标准管理
的人往往感到无能为力和受到贬低,几乎没有机会根据对世界
实际运作的任何客观认识来决定什么是对的,甚至什么是对的。

条件性道德常被压制性领导用作控制人民的手段。精神控制
邪教是当今操纵使用条件性道德的一个例子。要把一个人从条
条框框的道德束缚中解放出来,往往需要大量的个人工作和外
界的帮助。当整个社会受到条件性道德的限制时,建设性的改
变可能是缓慢和困难的。有条件道德的最高原则是服从,个人
的自由不被认为是重要的。
Conventional morality is usually a more advanced ethical
system than conditioned morality, yet it can still be limited by
a conflict between what is taken for real by a given society and
what is actually real. It is possible to be conventionally moral,
accepted by society and totally convinced of the rightness of
one’s actions, and yet be out of touch with reality. The
Living Ethics and Spiritual Powers 27

consequences of such conventional standards can be


destructive and limiting.
In contrast to conditioned morality, reality-based ethics
supports the development of the individual by promoting
those actions which conform to the natural laws governing
such development. It consists of ethical principles as taught by
those who know reality through direct personal experience,
such as the spiritual masters and guides of humanity.
Reality-based ethics takes into account the evolutionary
development of the individual and recognizes that there are
individual differences in the practice of ethics based on
different levels of development. It stresses the development of
individuals so that they can contact and embody their highest
understanding. It stresses the freedom of individuals to obey
the dictates of their own conscience and their intuitive sense of
the correct course of action. It requires individual participation
and is an ongoing process of development and expansion.
The practice of reality-based ethics requires consistent
effort, as there is usually a gap of varying degrees between
what a person knows should be done and what is actually
done. In the practice of living ethics, this gap is overcome.
Living ethics is an advanced form of reality-based ethics in
which the principles of living are experienced as an internal
reality. Using reality-based ethics, we walk the path of
spiritual unfoldment. Through living ethics, we identify so
completely with the path of spiritual unfoldment that we
naturally want to do, and are able to do, what we know to be
right. Through living ethics, conditioned morality is
transcended by a broad, powerful, and inclusive system,
promoting soul illumination and dynamic constructive action.
Living ethics is based upon and expresses the
consciousness of the soul. It expresses the broad mental vision
of the soul, the inclusive love of the soul, and the dynamic will
28 Bridge to Superconsciousness

of the soul. It requires the use of the intuitive mind, an aspect


of the soul, to effectively see the big picture and consider the
related factors involved in ethical situations.
In the attempt to practice living ethics, we inevitably transit
from the lower concrete mind, in which there is a strong sense
of right and wrong in a limited, self-centered way, to the
intuitive mind, which is capable of moving beyond cultural
and personal conditioning to see reality. The narrowness of the
concrete mind morality can limit us to a narrow range of
activities and possibilities, while the practice of living ethics as
an expression of the soul opens up a range of powers,
capacities, and insights which can rapidly expand our ability
to live a fulfilling and creative life.

传统道德通常是比有条件的道德更先进的道德体系,但它仍
然会受到一个特定社会所接受的现实与现实之间的冲突的限制。
它可能是传统的道德,被社会接受,完全相信自己的行为是正
确的,但却与现实脱节。这种传统标准的后果可能是破坏性的
和有限的。

与条件性道德相反,以现实为基础的伦理通过促进那些符合
自然规律的行为来支持个人的发展。它由那些通过直接个人经
验了解现实的人所传授的伦理原则组成,比如人类的精神导师
和向导。

以现实为基础的伦理学考虑到个人的进化发展,并认识到在
基于不同发展水平的伦理学实践中存在个体差异。它强调个人
的发展,使他们能够接触和体现他们的最高理解。它强调个人
遵守自己良心的命令和对正确行动方向的直觉的自由。它需要
个人的参与,是一个不断发展和扩大的进程。
Living Ethics and Spiritual Powers 29

实践以现实为基础的伦理需要持续的努力,因为一个人知道
应该做什么和实际做了什么之间通常存在不同程度的差距。在
生活伦理实践中,这一差距被克服。

生活伦理是一种以现实为基础的伦理的高级形式,其中生活
的原则作为一种内在的现实体验。用现实为基础的伦理,我们
走的是精神解放的道路。通过生活伦理,我们完全认同精神解
放的道路,我们自然想做,也能够做,我们知道是正确的。通
过生活伦理,有条件的道德被一个广泛、强大和包容的系统超
越,促进灵魂的启发和动态的建设性行动。

生活伦理是基于和表达灵魂的意识。它表达了灵魂宽广的精
神视野,包含了灵魂的爱,以及灵魂的动态意志。它需要使用
直觉思维,这是灵魂的一个方面,以有效地看到大局,并考虑
涉及到伦理情况的相关因素。

在实践生活伦理的过程中,我们不可避免地从有限的、以自
我为中心的、对与错有强烈感觉的较低的具体意识过渡到直觉
意识,这种直觉意识能够超越文化和个人条件,去看待现实。
混凝土的狭隘思想道德可以限制我们缩小范围的活动和可能性,
而生活的实践伦理作为一种表达灵魂的打开了一系列权力,能力
和洞察力,能够迅速扩大我们的生活充实和创新的能力。

The Practice of Living Ethics


The practice of living ethics creates a strong and purified
personality through which the powers of the soul can express.
30 Bridge to Superconsciousness

The exemplification of each principle of living to a high degree


of proficiency develops a power which can be used to express
soul purpose. These powers express on a continuum, with the
full development of the power occurring when we have so
internalized a principle that it becomes a part of our
consciousness. The development of these powers has
significant practical value because such development enables
us to express the full dimension of soul-consciousness in
everyday life and to overcome the various problems and
obstacles which inevitably stand in the way of full soul
expression. Even a partial development of these powers can
improve our lives significantly, while full development makes
us a dynamically effective force for good.
The cornerstone of living ethics is spiritualized conscience,
that inner sense of right which has been qualified by our
highest level of understanding. This spiritualized conscience
enables us to act with love and intelligence from our highest
understanding of truth. We may experience spiritualized
conscience as an inner sense of right, a positive vibration of
light coming from higher levels, a sudden insight, an increase
in physical energy, or by other signs. However our
spiritualized conscience expresses itself, it is experienced as
truth, authenticity, strength, and empowerment. With practice,
we can view situations and people from the perspective of our
spiritualized conscience and act from that level. We may make
mistakes, but even these mistakes can be positive learning
experiences leading to an increased capacity to express our
highest level of ethical understanding.
Many diverse ethical systems have been developed over
the years. Ultimately, we each develop our own standards
which are in alignment with our level of spiritual
development, our capacity to understand, and our ability to
act.
Living Ethics and Spiritual Powers 31

Following is a suggestive program, adapted from various


systems such as the Raja Yoga system as taught by Patanjali,
the Philosophy of Individual Life system as taught by John
Richardson and Florence Huntley through the School of
Natural Science, as well as from observations and insights
drawn from group work in contemporary American society.
Each of us can discover and create the system of ethics that
works best for us, based on an analysis of our own makeup
and needs, the environment in which we find ourselves, our
relationships with others, our intuition, and the valuable
insights of spiritual leaders who have demonstrated self-
mastery through the practice of living ethics. We can then
apply our system in our lives, find out how it works, and make
adjustments if necessary. We can all share what has worked for
us with others and contribute to the development of better
ethical systems for humanity.

为这种发展使我们能够在日常生活中充分表达灵魂意识的维度,
克服各种不可避免地阻碍灵魂充分表达的问题和障碍。即使这
些力量的局部发展也能显著改善我们的生活,而全面发展则使
我们成为一股永远有效的动力。

生活伦理的基石是心灵化的良知,这种内在的权利意识被我

他的迹象。无论我们心灵化的良心如何表达自己,它都被体验
为真理、真实、力量和力量。通过实践,我们可以从我们精神
化的良知的角度来看待情况和人,并从这个层面来行动。我们
可能会犯错误,但即使是这些错误也可以是积极的学习经历,
从而提高表达我们最高水平的伦理理解的能力。

Living Ethics and Spiritual Powers 33

Principles and Powers of


Living Ethics
We can use these ethical principles to develop a system of
ethics that works for us. We may want to consult some of the
ethical teachings found in various religious, spiritual,
psychological, or metaphysical systems for additional ethical
principles to apply.

TRUTHFULNESS

Principle: Think, speak, and act truthfully.


There are many aspects to truthfulness, from simply telling
the truth, to keeping commitments, to being honest with
ourselves and others. By making the effort to be truthful, we
expand our understanding and increase our ability to access
those states of consciousness in which higher truths are found.
By being truthful with others, we are affirming the oneness
of all and creating a bond of mutual trust in which the unity
that already exists at the soul level can be experienced.
There may be times, however, when complete truthfulness
is unwise, such as those cases in which telling the truth would
reveal information that would be harmful to others. In such
cases, where we have two ethical imperatives competing with
each other, another ethical principle, such as the principle of
goodwill, could outweigh the principle of truthfulness.
A positive self-image based on truth is important for
psychological health. If we can view ourselves clearly, we can
rid ourselves of false negative programming and develop
ourselves where appropriate, thus upgrading our self-image
and our self-confidence in a realistic way. When we can view
ourselves objectively, we know whether we are making
34 Bridge to Superconsciousness

spiritual progress and can avoid evolutionary cul-de-sacs. The


help of a competent clairvoyant would also be helpful, as
spiritual progress is always visible in the bodies and energy
fields. But such clairvoyant observation is difficult to come by!

Power: When we perfect truthfulness, our words and actions become


rapidly effective.
Telling the truth manifests power. By following the
principle of truthfulness, we nurture power within ourselves
so that our thoughts, words, and actions have force behind
them. When we are truthful, we sense an inner clarity which
comes from our alignment with reality and with our soul. By
being truthful, we develop the ability to see things clearly so
that we can act effectively.
When we are truthful, we align ourselves with the essential
truth of our own being as the soul. By speaking, thinking, and
acting truthfully, we generate an energy which tends to make
whatever we say or attempt to do manifest rapidly according
to our intention. According to the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali,
Book 2, Sutra 36, “when truth to all beings is perfected, the
effectiveness of his words and acts is immediately to be seen.”
AUTHENTIC LIVING

Principle: Live according to your own highest standard of right,


considered from the soul level.
By attuning to the soul, we can develop a standard of
actions and attitudes that represents the ideal as far as we are
able to understand it. By doing our best to adhere to that ideal,
without becoming fixated on it, we are able to bring the
consciousness and energy of the soul into our daily activities
and experience the clarity and sense of inner satisfaction that
the soul can bring.
We also develop an inner guidance system that we can use
to quickly and effectively evaluate constructive courses of
Living Ethics and Spiritual Powers 35

action. As we follow this process of referring to our inner


guidance, we find that our actions and attitudes are raised to a
higher level and are more enlightened and helpful.
Through practice, we gain in our ability to attune to our
guidance and follow its directives rapidly, with a minimum of
internal conflict. The act of reflecting consciously on our
actions and attitudes expands our consciousness and refines
our ability to quickly sense the inherent rightness of any action
or attitude.

Power: The power to live in the eternal now in a state of profound


peace.
When we act authentically from the center of our being, we
eventually live and function in that center in a state of
profound peace. We can then experience the rightness of each
moment in the unfolding of our lives, not burdened by the
past or worried about the future, but fulfilled in the eternal
now.
RIGHT USE OF ENERGY

Principle: Use energy effectively to promote the evolutionary


unfoldment of self and others.
The right use of energy is a valuable skill and one of the
hallmarks of advanced spiritual development. It requires that
we identify, access, and use the appropriate energy for a given
situation so that we can then have the necessary force to act
effectively. It also requires that we monitor our energy so that
it stays in balance, without blockages or excesses, and that we
recognize when we need the help of others in supplying the
necessary energy we lack. The whole process of evolutionary
unfoldment could be understood in part as the progressive
appropriation, integration, and effective use of ever more
intense energies.
36 Bridge to Superconsciousness

Power: The power to draw energy from the universal life field.
We live in a sea of energy. Those who have mastered the
right use of energy have the ability to draw whatever they
need from the energy of the universal life field to fulfill a
particular task. They are no longer dependent on the normal
processes of energy absorption such as sleeping and eating,
but can draw subtle energies at will. According to the Yoga
Sutras of Patanjali, Book 2,
Sutra 38, “by abstention from incontinence, energy is
acquired.”
Incontinence here is taken as the misuse of energy, not
necessarily the violation of the principle of celibacy.

POSITIVE COOPERATION

Principle: Approach every situation with the intention to facilitate a


positive outcome for all concerned, without compromising integrity.
This principle affirms the unity of life by promoting the
satisfaction and happiness of all persons involved in a
situation, within the limits of integrity. We could even extend
the principle to include the subhuman kingdom and the
superhuman kingdom (the kingdom of the masters).
Working toward a positive outcome for everyone requires
that we understand ourselves as well as the others involved in
a transaction so that we can interact with intelligence,
communicate clearly, and observe objectively. When
approached in this way, seeking a positive outcome for all is a
demanding and exacting task, calling for a high level of
creativity in recognizing and adapting to the individual
differences and opportunities that can be present in any
situation.

Power: The power to love and understand all beings.


Living Ethics and Spiritual Powers 37

We experience the underlying oneness of all, and


experience love and understanding in relation to all life forms.
This is a deeply satisfying state which banishes feelings of
isolation and loneliness and adds a rich texture of profound
interest to all aspects of our life.

RIGHT USE OF CAPABILITIES

Principle: Make right use of your present capabilities to unfold your


life purpose.
We have a unique soul purpose for our life and a unique
individuality through which to expresses that soul purpose. By
using our present capabilities in accordance with our best
understanding of that purpose, we find that our life unfolds in
a natural and harmonious way and that we can eventually
overcome whatever blocks we encounter along our way. These
blocks can, in fact, be opportunities in disguise. We accept
ourselves at our present level of development, see our present
opportunities, and move forward on our evolutionary journey.
We can accept our present situation and its challenges to be
our best opportunity to grow and develop. We attune to our
unique individuality and look for ways to express that
individuality so that we can fulfill our soul purpose.
Power: Liberation from all the hindrances of karma.
When we unfold our life purpose, we eventually work out
our hindering karmic limitations. One of the purposes of our
soul plan is to create circumstances that give us the
opportunity to work out limiting karma. Such liberation,
which can take many lifetimes to accomplish, is experienced as
the joy of freedom, regardless of inner or outer circumstances.

GIVING AND RECEIVING


38 Bridge to Superconsciousness

Principle: Be willing to receive from others that which will help you
and be willing to give to others that which will help them.
It is important to be able to both give and receive. By
giving and receiving in a balanced way, with the intent to help
and be helped, we are assisting the process of the divine
circulatory flow upon which the healthy functioning of all life
depends. The divine circulatory flow is an expression of the
reality of the underlying interdependence of all things in the
universe.

Power: Physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual health, and


abundance.
When energies flow smoothly in a balanced way, we
experience physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual health,
and can effectively access and use soul energies without any
blockages or hindrances. By both giving and receiving, we
promote the state of abundance for ourselves and others. We
are able to give others what they need, promoting their
abundance, and we are able to receive from others what we
need, promoting our abundance.

ATTITUDE OF GOODWILL

Principle: Maintain a positive attitude of goodwill towards all so


that positive energy circulates freely.
A positive attitude of goodwill creates an energy field
through which the energies of the soul can flow, circulating
freely through us and out to others. A positive attitude
generates energy and helps the life force to flow through the
body unimpeded, promoting a state of health. We cannot
always choose what happens to us or what we experience, but
we can choose our attitude towards events and experiences.
Living Ethics and Spiritual Powers 39

By choosing a positive attitude, we can make the best of


whatever happens and in this way transform negative
experiences into positive learning experiences. Negative
experiences can be valuable teachers, as long as we are able to
move beyond them by the application of positive energy as a
counteracting and transmuting force. Humor and play can be
valuable allies in this respect. A useful exercise is to take any
apparent negative experience and look for the positive
opportunity that might be embedded in it. By taking the
initiative in this way, we can often transform a negative
experience into a positive lesson.
If we attack negative attitudes directly, we can make them
more destructive by adding the factor of conflict and
resistance. We can counteract a negative attitude by cultivating
the opposite positive attitude as the soul. This positive attitude
can then absorb, transform, and transmute the negative
attitude. The positive attitude also helps to purify, strengthen,
and stabilize our consciousness. Being positive does not
involve the denial of negativity, but rather its
acknowledgment and transformation.
Positive input from our environment can help us maintain
a positive attitude. Great art, good books, supportive personal
relationships, and meaningful work can all support us in our
efforts to maintain a positive attitude. Being grateful for our
blessings can also help maintain a positive attitude. The
Master Morya continually emphasizes the healing power of
gratitude in his series of Agni Yoga books. Positive attitudes
act like a magnet, drawing to us people, situations, and
experiences of a similar positive nature.
This positive attitude of goodwill has been called
benevolence in the Masonic tradition, which recommends its
practice to all Masons. Another term for this positive attitude
of goodwill is harmlessness, as taken from the Raja Yoga
40 Bridge to Superconsciousness

system of Patanjali. If we succeed in maintaining a positive


attitude of goodwill with our total being, not just on a
superficial level, others will pick up this attitude and become
more positive themselves. In the Autobiography of a Yogi,
Paramahansa Yogananda tells of an advanced yogi who could
walk through dangerous jungles uninjured by wild animals
because of his harmless state of consciousness.
When we can maintain a positive attitude of goodwill, we
draw to ourselves beneficent energies, situations, and people
harmonious with our inner state. This positive state can be
helped by affirmations and by the realization of identity with
the soul and its positive energies. We can aid the achievement
of this state by trying to see the divine in ourselves and all
things and work from that positive center of contact outward
into harmonious cooperation and manifestation.
This principle has two powers associated with it which
both relate to the right circulation of energy.

Power 1: Good health, and freedom from physical, emotional, and


mental pain.
When positive energies circulate freely, we experience the
freedom that comes from the right functioning of all aspects of
our being. Our physical body becomes healthy, our emotions
become clear and positive, and our mind becomes strong and
stable. We are no longer plagued by the experiences of pain
that occur when the flow of our energy is blocked as it moves
through us and out into manifestation.

Power 2: Positive response from all beings we contact.


When our consciousness becomes completely positive on
all levels, we draw forth a similar response from others.
Whatever is negative in others finds no response within us,
and therefore does not manifest.
Living Ethics and Spiritual Powers 41

According to the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, Book 2, Sutra 35:


“In the presence of him who has perfected harmlessness, all
enmity ceases.”
PROMOTION OF GOOD

Principle: Use the independent and soul-infused will to promote


good, guided by intelligence and love.
There is an inherent joy and satisfaction in promoting
good, regardless of the outcome. By staying centered in the
activity of promoting good, we can bring ourselves closer to
the superconscious level and can use the powers and energies
of that level to guide our actions and infuse them with joy.
Acting to promote the good automatically helps us to
integrate all the various aspects of our being and direct them
to the expression of the best that is in us. Promoting the good
also draws from life those supporting energies and
opportunities that can enable us to fulfill our purpose. It
develops our will, expands our love, and increases our
intelligence in a balanced way.

Power: The power to remain constantly in the superconscious state.


The superconscious state is characterized by the experience
of the will to good, or goodwill, as a pervading quality. The
primary activity that flows from that state is promoting the
good. Thus, the promotion of good automatically draws us
towards that state. When our entire being is saturated with the
will to good, or goodwill, we remain in that state.

HIGHER WILL

Principle: Use the higher will in daily life on a consistent basis.


We can contact and use a powerful aspect of the soul, the
higher will, to actualize our potential and deal effectively with
the many problems and opportunities of life. This higher will
42 Bridge to Superconsciousness

has a dynamic energy and intelligence that can help us move


forward with confidence and actualize our goals. We achieve
the ability to love in spite of circumstances. Each time we use
this higher will to achieve a worthwhile goal, we expand our
access to it.
By the consistent use of the higher will, we can direct all
the various facets of our being along the lines of harmonious
and constructive activity, avoiding any excess or imbalance.
On a practical level, we can reinforce the higher will by right
thought, imagination, feeling, desire, attention, and action.
The higher will has the ability to act as a central focus
around which all the various aspects of our being can be
integrated. We can use the higher will to coordinate our
physical, emotional, and mental natures to fulfill our life
purpose. To use the higher will effectively:
1. Form a clear conception of the goal to be achieved, with
guidance from the soul.
2. Mobilize emotions in support of the goal.
3. Work consistently on the physical plane to realize the goal.
In this way we create a direct pathway of manifestation
from the higher will of the soul level to the physical plane.
When our higher will can be brought through as strong,
skillful, persistent, organized, courageous, and aligned with
soul purpose, we become a strong force for good in the world.
Through the patience and persistence of the higher will, we
are able to maintain our spiritual efforts at a high level for the
long periods of time that are often required to reach full, or
even partial, spiritual realization.
When the higher will is being used by enough of
humanity, we can then experience world peace. Human
interactions will be guided and guarded by the principles and
Living Ethics and Spiritual Powers 43

energies of the higher will. Then goodwill, or the will to good,


will reign on earth.
This principle has three powers associated with it, which
reflects the central importance of the higher will in spiritual
realization. Will is a basic principle upon which the
actualization of other principles depends.

Power 1: A constant state of profound inner peace which cannot be


shaken by any circumstance, inner or outer.

When all the aspects of our being are under the guidance
and direction of the higher will, we experience a profound
inner peace which cannot be shaken by anything, either from
within or without. All the elements of our nature then exist in
a state of balance and integration, held in a position of stability
and dynamic activity by the force of the higher will. According
to John Richardson in his chapter on Poise in Self-Unfoldment,
“He who knows, from a personal experience, the true meaning
and significance of Poise, and is able to make it subservient to
his Individual Power of Will, has earned the ‘Peace that
passeth understanding’—and he shall receive his reward. Yea,
verily, he has it already.”

Power 2: Liberation from the pull of the lower nature.


The power of the higher will carries us above and beyond
the force of the lower nature so that we experience a state of
liberation and freedom in which the pull of the lower nature
no longer influences our behavior.

Power 3: Irresistible goal accomplishment.


Our will becomes irresistible and we can focus our
thoughts, feelings, and actions so that all obstacles to the
attainment of our goals are swept aside and all the necessary
factors for success are effectively utilized. According to The
44 Bridge to Superconsciousness

Light of the Soul commentary on the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali,


Book 3, Sutra 45, irresistible will (prakamya) is “...that driving
irresistible force found in every adept which brings about the
fruition of his plans.”

ALERT AND WAKEFUL CONSCIOUSNESS

Principle: Maintain an alert and wakeful consciousness to obtain


full benefit from all experiences.
We cannot benefit from our experiences if we are unaware
of what is happening to us. We can expand and heighten our
consciousness by the effort to be aware of what is being
experienced in the here and now and by identifying with the
principle of consciousness itself which underlies and supports
all experience.
As we identify with the soul, or essential self, we begin to
realize that we are the observer of all we do, feel, and think,
yet we are something more than our actions, feeling, or
thoughts. We are not only the observer, but also the sustainer,
and even the transformer of all we experience.
To make rapid spiritual progress, it is essential that we
maintain a constant wakeful consciousness so that we can use
our experiences to the maximum benefit and guard against
negative states of consciousness that can impede our progress.
One of the requirements for spiritual advancement, as
mentioned in The Light of the Soul, is the carefulness in large
and small matters that is based upon the wakeful
consciousness. When we are awake to our experiences, we can
transform and clarify them as the soul, using the lens of our
clear and steady mind to focus the transmuting and
transforming powers of the soul and to expand the light of
consciousness. In this way we can check and redirect negative
emotions before they get out of control and, instead, send
Living Ethics and Spiritual Powers 45

positive energies into the surrounding environment and into


the world thought field.
Part of the constructive use of the wakeful consciousness
involves letting go of states of consciousness, situations, and
people that we have outgrown, while simultaneously
upgrading our consciousness towards new levels. Authentic
release from outgrown situations can come about by the
recognition of the genuine completion of a cycle and in
response to spiritualized conscience and soul recognition, not
by escaping responsibility.
An important aid to the development of the wakeful
consciousness is mindfulness: bringing our energy,
concentration, and awareness into our current experience and
living as fully as possible. Mindfulness involves energetically
concentrating on and being aware of whatever we are doing,
without any extraneous thoughts, excessive emotional
reactions, or unnecessary physical movements. At the deepest
level, this process involves the complete merging of the
attention into the activity of the moment to the point where the
actor and the actedupon become one connected flow of
activity. In this state, the separated sense of ego drops away.
This type of one-pointed absorption is characteristic of those
who achieve outstanding performance in any field of activity,
whether sports, music, acting, public speaking, or any other.
By practicing right mindfulness, we are able to gain more
meaning, significance, and satisfaction from what we are
doing, if we are doing the right things. Difficulty in paying
attention, in spite of our best efforts, can indicate that we are
doing the wrong things for us and need to reevaluate our
activities.

Power: Realization of essential divinity.


When we are fully awake and aware, we experience
consciousness in its pure state. Realization of pure
46 Bridge to Superconsciousness

consciousness is equivalent to the realization of the


superconscious state. When we reach this level of realization,
we are no longer identified with the contents of our
consciousness, but experience ourselves as pure consciousness
above and beyond what we experience. This state is one of
profound freedom and bliss. For a technique that we can use
to approach this state, see “Strengthening Our Connection
With the Essential Self” in Chapter 5—Invoking Positive
Energies.

INTELLIGENT SERVICE

Principle: Make intelligent, loving service, without attachment to


results, a focus of your life.
The Tibetan Master Djwhal Khul has stated that the Science
of Service will supersede the Science of Meditation as the
primary means of spiritual unfoldment in future times. When
we serve unselfishly, we create karmic causes which draw to
us those people and things we need to support our activities
and serve even more effectively. If we contribute to the good of
humanity, we find that we generally have what we need to get
the job done. We discover that others are naturally motivated
to help us in our work, just as we are willing to help others in
their work.
Intelligent, loving service without attachment is an
effective means of self-realization because it frees the
consciousness from the bondage of self-centeredness, leads to
the experience of the unity of all life, and brings the soul into
expression through a personality that has been fully developed
by such service.
Serving effectively involves being helpful in our present
circumstances, however humble they may be. It might simply
involve being more open and sharing with others, more
sensitive to their needs and aspirations.
Living Ethics and Spiritual Powers 47

Power: The power to evoke the love and support of all life forms.
When we serve others in a spirit of unselfishness, we draw
to us a rich bounty of support and love. Wherever we go, we
find help and cooperation. We experience a sense of
affirmation from the universe which sustains and encourages
us.
NON-ATTACHMENT

Principle: Act constructively without attachment.


The Buddha identified attachment as one of the primary
causes of human suffering and affirmed non-attachment as a
great liberator. Non-attachment enables us to focus on the joy
and satisfaction of doing something constructive and
worthwhile to the best of our ability, without undue concern
for results. Through non-attachment we become more focused
on process rather than outcome, and avoid making our
happiness dependent on the results of our actions. Non-
attachment helps us to trust the life process and frees our
energies from worry.
One of the most difficult aspects of practicing non-
attachment is recognizing the destructive nature of attachment
in its many forms and resolving to overcome it. We are often
so bound to the objects of our attachments that we don’t
recognize their negative influence on our lives. Our
attachments distort our ability to see the world clearly and
interfere with our capacity to act intelligently. Attachments are
often unconscious and we might have to uncover them before
we can release them.
If we act in a certain way to bring about a certain outcome,
making our happiness dependent upon that outcome, we are
setting ourselves up for unhappiness because we cannot
completely control our life and circumstances. On the other
hand, if we make our happiness dependent upon doing our
48 Bridge to Superconsciousness

best in any situation, without predetermining what that best


might be, we can enjoy a beneficial outcome, or accept a less
favorable outcome, without experiencing unhappiness. When
we are nonattached, our actions are free to work themselves
out in the best possible way and we can accept whatever
happens more easily. If we cling to our actions, we tend to
draw their energy back to us and limit their effectiveness.
Ken Keyes, in his book Handbook to Higher Consciousness,
uses the principle of preferences to aid in the achievement of
nonattachment. We can prefer to have a certain outcome
without making our happiness dependent on that outcome. By
preferring a given outcome, we set energies in motion to bring
it about, but we don’t make it essential for our happiness. We
still have goals, but they can be fluid, open, and enlightened.
In contrast, if we demand a given outcome, we are setting up
requirements for our satisfaction and opening ourselves up to
disappointment, given the uncertain nature of life.
Through non-attachment we can allow others to fulfill their
individual destinies and rejoice in their efforts at
selfactualization. We can identify with others at the soul level
and enjoy seeing them happy, whether or not this happiness
relates specifically to the satisfaction of our own needs and
desires. Through non-attachment, we can let go of
relationships which are not mutually beneficial or
constructive, freeing ourselves and others to move on to new
opportunities. Non-attachment does not mean a lack of
concern for others, but rather a deeper and more authentic
concern that goes beyond our own wishes and desires and
relates to life from the higher perspective of the soul.
Through non-attachment, we can look at life from a more
extended time perspective, realizing that all we have worked
for will eventually come to us under the working of the law of
Living Ethics and Spiritual Powers 49

compensation, or karma, without the necessity for undue


concern on our part.
Non-attachment provides a sense of perspective, promotes
unselfishness and psychological objectivity, and helps prevent
the misuse of any powers we might develop as a result of
intense spiritual striving. Some on the spiritual path have been
overtaken and carried away by the personal inflation that can
be brought about by the development of spiritual powers; they
have become the hapless victims of the very powers they
worked to attain.
The process of non-attachment is a continuum which
begins at a very limited state of consciousness in which our
sense of fulfillment is almost totally dependent on the
satisfaction of our needs and desires, through a state where we
prefer to have certain outcomes, but can also enjoy the process
of goal-seeking without undue concern for results, to a state of
superconscious selfexistent happiness in which our primary
occupation is a concern for the development and
empowerment of humanity.

Power: We can have whatever we require.


It is paradoxical that when we are no longer attached to
anyone or anything in a narrow personality way, we can have
whatever we require to realize our goals and achieve our life
purpose. Perhaps this is what Jesus was referring to in the
Bible when he said, “Seek ye first his Kingdom and his
righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.”
We might even find that what we get from life is more than
what we expected. The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, Book 2, Sutra
37, states: “when abstention from theft is perfected, the yogi
can have whatever he desires.” (In this instance, the word
“theft” means covetousness, or attachment.)

RIGHT INTEGRATION
50 Bridge to Superconsciousness

Principle: Develop and integrate all aspects of your being and life
into a harmonious whole.
We are governed by different types of natural laws
involving our physical, emotional, mental, psychological, and
ethical natures. When we cooperate with all these relevant
natural laws in a balanced and harmonious way, we can
function with the greatest efficiency, maximize our rate of
evolutionary progress, and take advantage of the synergistic
effect that occurs when all these natural laws are followed
systematically.
The energies and consciousness of the soul can serve as a
focal point around which all the various aspects of our being
and life can be organized into a harmonious whole. This
harmonious state is experienced as peace, mastery, and power.
From this state we can love wisely, think clearly, and act
effectively. In such a state of harmony, we have a mix of all the
necessary powers and capacities to express our unique life
purpose.
We may find that we need to develop certain abilities in
order to achieve balance. It may be that the things we don’t
want to do are the very things we need to do in order to
balance ourselves out. We may also need to work on areas of
our life that we have neglected. The people who are
workaholics might find that they needs to spend more time
with their family, or people who have a tendency to be lazy
might find that they need to work harder. Honest self-
evaluation, with helpful feedback from objective friends or
teachers, can help us to know where we need balancing.
The achievement of harmony is an individual matter. In
the process, we first identify all the elements of our being and
life that we want to integrate and then determine the best way
to achieve that integration. Among the elements of our being
to integrate, we might identify our physical body, energy
Living Ethics and Spiritual Powers 51

system, emotions, mind, personality, imagination, aesthetic


ability, and ethical sensitivity. Among the elements of our life
to integrate, we might identify our business life, spiritual life,
ethical life, personal life, relationships, religious affiliations,
political loyalties, educational memberships, scientific
contacts, affiliations, hobbies, and interests.
Having identified the elements, we can then set about
integrating them into our unique harmonious configuration,
all the while correcting and developing our deficient aspects.

Power: The power to create harmony in all life situations.


When we achieve right integration, all the elements of our
being and life function together harmoniously and mutually
reinforce each other in effectiveness. This helps us to work
consistently over time to achieve our goals, without the
confusion and upheavals that can retard progress. By our
presence, we automatically help others to achieve a state of
harmony. So powerful and harmonious will be our vibrations
that others will tend to order their lives along the lines of
harmony, whether or not they are aware of our influence.

Applying Living Ethics


We can apply living ethics by consistently comparing our
daily attitudes and actions to its principles and modifying such
attitudes and actions where necessary. We may find it helpful
to focus on one principle at a time for a period of one month
per principle.
We can begin our day by thinking about the selected
principle to try to understand it as completely as possible. As
we go about our daily activities, we can monitor ourselves
with reference to the principle and adjust our attitudes and
behavior accordingly. At the end of the day, we can review our
52 Bridge to Superconsciousness

daily activities with reference to the principle to see how well


we did. We can ask our friends how well we are doing. The
ability to benefit from the objective evaluation of others is a
good indication of increasing soul contact, as well as a guard
against self-deception. Over a period of time, we will
internalize the principle so it becomes a part of our habitual
mode of consciousness and behavior.
A powerful method of actualizing a principle of living
ethics is to meditate deeply on the principle. By sustained,
concentrated thinking about one of the principles of living
ethics, we can so unite our mind with the principle that its
deeper meanings are revealed.
In addition, such concentration increases the energy of the
principle tremendously, helping to transform our
consciousness. By such sustained concentrated thinking on
each principle, it is possible to rapidly transform our character.
This sustained concentrated thinking, which is called sanyama
in Sanskrit, is one the most effective techniques of character
building, according to I. K. Taimni in his book, The Science of
Yoga, page 323.
Thus, we work through all the principles sequentially,
ending with the principle of integration which helps us to use
all the principles simultaneously. We can apply a steady,
persistent yet gentle, force of self-awareness to our lives
without becoming obsessive or overserious about our analysis.
It is important to focus on the expression of the principle
without getting caught up in compulsive self-examination or
recriminations, acknowledge mistakes, resolving to do better
in the future, and then move on without being bound by the
past.
As we apply these principles systematically, we gradually
overcome the obstacles that stand between us and the
realization of superconsciousness. As we evaluate the
Living Ethics and Spiritual Powers 53

application of these principles from the soul level, we find ever


more subtle levels of application revealed to us.
There is no limit to the expansion of the ability to apply
living ethics. Each step forward on the evolutionary path
brings a greater ability to act wisely and a greater
responsibility to act rightly.
As we apply living ethics, we find that energy is
withdrawn from negative attitudes and actions so that they
naturally fall away without undue concern or worry on our
part. The increasing ability to maintain an inner attitude that is
in harmony with the principles of living ethics is an accurate
indication of evolutionary development and spiritual progress.
We can only speculate on the potential of the expansion of
consciousness. We are told that there are great beings who
contain within their consciousness entire solar systems and
even galaxies and beyond. In some distant future we may have
such vast reaches of awareness ourselves. The contemplation
of the starry sky gives some sense of the potential vastness of
consciousness.
Building the Bridge 47

Chapter 3—

Building the
Bridge
A fter we form the intention to seek beyond personality
life, and while we are establishing an ethical foundation
of right behavior, we can begin to widen the central channel
between the soul and the physical, energetic, emotional, and
mental bodies. This widened channel enables the energies of
the soul to flow through these bodies. Soul energies uplift and
transform whatever they flow through, provided the life is
being lived in accordance with the principles of right living as
outlined in Chapter 2—Living Ethics and Spiritual Powers.
The central channel, also called the antahkarana or
Rainbow Bridge, is a thread of consciousness and energy
which passes from beyond the soul star, an energy center
located approximately six inches above the head, down
through the causal, mental, emotional, energetic, and physical
bodies, along their central axis and into the earth. (The causal
body is an expression of the soul and is built up over many
lifetimes of accumulated soul experience.)
The central channel is a magnetic conductor through which
the energy of the soul flows. Its magnetic surface insulates it
from the body, although its radiation into the body increases
as soon as the channel is widened. This radiation intensifies as
the diameter of the central channel is increased, until the entire
body is within the light of its radiation. This positive radiation
benefits both the individual and his or her environment.
48 Bridge to Superconsciousness

This channel is recognized by many students of the Ageless


Wisdom teachings as a connection with the soul, or essential
self, as it functions through the various bodies. The central
channel, as it is widened, provides contact with increasingly
higher levels of consciousness and energy. This channel is the
energy conduit along which the energies of the soul flow,
nourishing and sustaining all the bodies. Without this energy
channel, there would be no life in the physical body.
Normally, this channel is a fine thread, but it can be
widened considerably with proven techniques utilizing the
soul star energy center located above the head. As the channel
is widened, increasing amounts of soul energy flow down
through the channel and into the energy field. The central
channel has been widened by some from a thin thread to a
diameter of four inches and beyond. Linking with the soul and
widening the central channel make it possible for the soul to
utilize the central channel to transform the entire nature so
that soul-consciousness, or superconsciousness, can be
experienced and expressed on all the planes of human
experience. Over time, this transformation results in a
significant improvement in the ability of the bodies to respond
to and express the higher soul energies.
在我们形成超越人格生活的意愿之后,在我们建立正确行为
的伦理基础时,我们可以开始拓宽灵魂与身体、精力、情感和
精神身体之间的中心渠道。这拓宽的通道使灵魂的能量通过这
些身体流动。灵魂能量提升和改变他们所流经的一切,只要生
活是按照正确生活的原则生活,如第二章所述,生活伦理和精
神力量。

中央通道,也被称为 antahkarana 或彩虹桥,是一根意识和


能量的线,它从灵魂之星之外穿过,这是一个位于头顶上方约
六英寸的能量中心,向下穿过因果、精神、情感、能量和身体,
沿着它们的中轴线进入地球。(因果的身体是灵魂的一种表达,
是在许多生世积累的灵魂经验中建立起来的。)
Building the Bridge 49

中央通道是灵魂能量流动的磁体。它的磁性表面将它与身体
隔离,尽管一旦通道变宽,它对身体的辐射就会增加。当中央
通道的直径增大时,这种辐射就会增强,直到整个身体都处于
辐射的范围内。这种积极的辐射对个人和环境都有好处。

这个通道被许多研究永恒智慧教导的学生认为是与灵魂或本
质自我的连接,因为它通过各种身体运作。中央通道,随着它
的拓宽,提供了与越来越高水平的意识和能量的接触。这个通
道是灵魂能量流动的能量管道,滋养和维持所有身体。没有这
个能量通道,物质身体就没有生命。

通常情况下,这条通道是一条细线,但它可以通过使用位于
头部上方的灵魂之星能量中心的经过验证的技术大大拓宽。当
通道被拓宽,越来越多的灵魂能量通过通道流向能量场。中央
河道已经被一些人从一条细线拓宽到直径四英寸以上。与灵魂
连接并拓宽中央通道使灵魂有可能利用中央通道来改造整个自
然,这样灵魂意识或超意识就能在人类体验的所有层面上被体
验和表达。随着时间的推移,这种转变导致身体对更高灵魂能
量的响应和表达能力的显著提高。
Only the soul can widen the central channel, but the
personality, as a vehicle of expression for the soul, can
cooperate. Belief that the process works is not required in
order to get results. For this reason, we can accept the process
as a working hypothesis and determine for ourselves what it
can do.
As the link with the soul is maintained and the channel is
continually widened, both the quantity and quality of energy
flowing through the various bodies increase. As these high-
grade energies flow through the channel, they further
accelerate the widening process, and thus produce a mutually
reinforcing effect. Over time, the widened central channel,
under soul direction, helps purify the energy systems of the
body by removing the impurities that block the energy flow.
Later, with the techniques given in Chapter 4—Clearing the
Energy Fields, this process of purification can be accelerated.

只有灵魂才能拓宽中心渠道,而人格作为灵魂表达的载体,
只是在合作。相信过程是有效的并不是为了得到结果。因此,
50 Bridge to Superconsciousness

我们可以接受这个过程作为一个有效的假设,并自己决定它能
做什么。

随着与灵魂的联系得以维持,渠道不断拓宽,流经各个身体
的能量的数量和质量都在增加。当这些高等级的能量通过通道
时,它们进一步加速了拓宽的过程,从而产生相辅相成的效果。
随着时间的推移,在灵魂指引下加宽的中央通道,通过清除阻
碍能量流的杂质,帮助净化身体的能量系统。之后,利用第四
章中所介绍的技术来清除能量场,这个净化过程可以被加速。

Use of Mantrams 使用咒语


As part of the Rainbow Bridge meditation processes, we
use a number of mantrams and invocations that have been
given to humanity by the Spiritual Hierarchy. These include
the Mantram of Unification, The Great Invocation, the
Mantram of the Disciple, and others which are discussed later
in this book. When said with concentration and alignment,
these mantrams and invocations have the power to transform,
uplift, inspire, and bring in energies. Their power has been
increased many times over by their repeated use. Such
repeated use integrates these mantrams into the thought
atmosphere of the earth in such a way that their vibration and
energy benefit humanity.
We can best understand the mantrams and invocations by
pondering on them and extracting their deeper meanings. All
these mantrams and invocations help us to identify with the
qualities and attitudes of the soul and to bring some part of the
energy and awareness of that identification through ourselves
and out into the world for the benefit of all sentient life.
When the central channel has been widened, we can use
these mantrams more effectively as we add the energy and
consciousness of the soul through the central channel.
Gradually, as we align with the soul and speak truthfully and
with good intention, our speech itself begins to take on a
Building the Bridge 51

mantric quality and becomes a vehicle for sharing positive


energies with others.
作为彩虹桥冥想过程的一部分,我们使用了一些由灵性等级
给予人类的咒语和召唤。这些律法包括统一的律法、大咒、门
徒的律法,以及后来在本书中讨论的其他律法。当说到集中和
对齐,这些咒语和调用有力量转化,提升,鼓舞,并带来能量。
由于反复使用,它们的功率增加了很多倍。如此反复的使用将
这些咒语整合到地球的思想大气中,使它们的振动和能量有益
于人类。

通过对这些咒语的思考和挖掘它们的深层含义,我们可以更
好地理解它们。所有这些咒符和祈求都帮助我们认同灵魂的品
质和态度,并通过我们自己和外部世界为所有有知觉的生命带
来一些能量和意识。

当中央通道被拓宽后,我们可以更有效地使用这些咒语,因
为我们通过中央通道增加了灵魂的能量和意识。渐渐地,当我
们与灵魂保持一致,真诚而善意地说话时,我们的言语本身就
开始具有一种强迫的品质,并成为与他人分享正能量的工具。
The mantrams and invocations can also be used as
centering and protective devices. We can use them when we
encounter negativity, either within ourselves or in the
environment. The Soul Mantram is a supremely effective
technique of selfremembrance when combined with the effort
to live ethically. Saying the Mantram of Unification is a
centering, balancing, and unifying technique when expressed
with focus and alignment.
The Mantram of the Disciple helps us express our dedication
and commitment to living our higher values. The Great
Invocation helps sweep negative energies out of the aura and
should be used in conjunction with all of the Rainbow Bridge
meditation techniques.
Almost all the spiritual traditions of humanity contain
mantrams, invocations, and prayers. These can be used
beneficially in accordance with individual preference, such as
prayers to Jesus in the Christian tradition, the use of “om mani
padme hum” from the Buddhist tradition, and so on. Almost
52 Bridge to Superconsciousness

any form of prayer can have a beneficial effect if it has


constructive intent and is said with sincerity and soul
alignment.

该咒语和调用也可以用作定心和保护装置。当我们在自身或
环境中遇到消极情绪时,我们可以使用它们。灵魂咒是一种极
其有效的自我记忆技巧,当它与道德生活的努力相结合时。说
“统一的咒语”是一种集中、平衡和统一的技术,当用焦点和
对齐来表达时。

弟子的咒语帮助我们表达我们的奉献和承诺,以生活我们更
高的价值。伟大的祈祷帮助将负面能量从光环中清除,并且应
该与所有的虹桥冥想技术一起使用。

人类几乎所有的精神传统都包含着咒语、召唤和祈祷。这些
可以根据个人喜好使用,如基督教传统中对耶稣的祈祷,佛教
传统中“唵嘛嘛嘛呢”的使用等等。几乎任何一种形式的祈祷
都可以有一个有益的效果,如果它有建设性的意图,并且是真
诚的和灵魂对齐的。

The Rainbow Bridge


Meditation 彩虹桥冥想
We now describe the process for widening the central
channel using the Rainbow Bridge meditation, with an
explanation of each step. Included are all the mantrams and
other techniques that make up the Rainbow Bridge meditation

咒语
We say the Soul Mantram to link with the soul:
Building the Bridge 57

I am the soul
I am the light divine
I am love
I am will
I am fixed design

我们说出灵魂咒语与灵魂连接:

我就是灵魂

我是神圣之光

我是爱

我是意志

我是被确定的设计

We take a few deep breaths, center in, and let go of


whatever physical, energetic, emotional, or mental tensions we
might be holding. With the intent of working as the soul held
firmly in mind, we center and concentrate our awareness in
the soul star, a radiant energy center located about six inches
above the head.
Each specific affirmation within the Soul Mantram
produces certain effects which we may or may not experience,
depending on our sensitivity. As the Soul Mantram is said, the
soul star increases in size, brilliance, and radiation, indicating
that the connection between the personality and the soul has
been strengthened.
我们做几次深呼吸,集中精力,放下身体、精力、情绪或精
神上的紧张。当灵魂牢牢记住我们的工作意图时,我们将我们
的意识集中在灵魂之星上,这是一个位于头顶上方 6 英寸的辐

58 Bridge to Superconsciousness

灵魂咒中的每一个特定的肯定都会产生一些影响,这些影响
我们可能会经历,也可能不会经历,这取决于我们的敏感度。
正如灵魂咒所说,灵魂之星的大小、亮度和辐射都在增加,表
明人格和灵魂之间的联系已经加强。
Norman and Josephine Stevens said this with regard to the
soul star: “We have witnessed that its use and presence in the
brooding consciousness has made simple techniques rapidly
effective in clearing and energizing the inner vehicles and in
building radiant magnetic fields around purified forms.”
(Rainbow Bridge II)
Those capable of building the central channel typically
have a radiating soul star, indicating that they have some
measure of soul contact, the capacity to do the work, some
degree of sensitivity to energies, and a sense of responsibility
to help others in addition to themselves.
The soul star is a powerful, versatile, and useful instrument
of soul unfoldment, but will act only when used in the wisdom
of the soul. It cannot be manipulated for self-centered
personality advantage. Although a somewhat radiant soul star
is necessary in order to work alone, someone with a dimly
radiating soul star can work effectively in group formation due
to the energy boost available in the group.
Linking with the soul is the most important step to take
before using any spiritual techniques. Such linking makes the
techniques more effective by adding soul force.
Each of the affirmations within the Soul Mantram has a
specific purpose:

诺曼和约瑟芬·斯蒂文斯在谈到灵魂之星时这样说道:“我们已
经见证了它在沉思意识中的使用和存在,使得简单的技术迅速
有效地清理和激活内部交通工具,并围绕净化后的形体构建辐
射磁场。”(彩虹桥 II)
Building the Bridge 59

那些有能力建造中央通道的人通常有一颗辐射的灵魂之星,
表明他们有一定程度的灵魂接触,工作能力,对能量的敏感度,
以及帮助他人的责任感。

灵魂之星是一种强大的、多才多艺的、有用的灵魂展开的工
具,但只有在灵魂的智慧中才能发挥作用。它不能被操纵为以
自我为中心的人格优势。虽然一颗光芒四射的灵魂之星对于独
自工作是必要的,但是一个有着微弱光芒的灵魂之星的人可以
有效地在团队中工作,因为团队中的能量可以得到提升。

在使用任何灵性技巧之前,与灵魂联系是最重要的一步。这
种连接通过增加灵魂力量使技术更加有效。

灵魂咒中的每一个肯定都有一个特定的目的:

I AM THE SOUL
This affirmation strengthens our identification with the
soul, our essential self. We affirm that we are in fact the soul,
can act as the soul, can relate to others as the soul, and can get
information and guidance from the soul level. External
teachers and guides can be valuable at times, but our own soul
is always close at hand.
As we learn to identify with the soul and act with soul
purpose, our actions become more sure and clear. Whatever
energies or processes are invoked in the wisdom of the soul
are guided by a level of understanding and wisdom beyond
what we would be capable of when acting as the personality
only.
Physical actions tend to evoke corresponding images and
ideas. If we act as the soul, we tend to bring about the state of
soul-consciousness related to our actions. By so doing, we
make it possible for the energies of the soul to express through
60 Bridge to Superconsciousness

our daily activities. Such actions have to be realistic in terms of


our present abilities, but we find that we can do more than we
ever thought possible when we act as the soul.
Spiritual progress involves both the development of the
personality to reach the soul level and the drawing down of
soul energy to transform the personality. The more the
personality can be elevated, the greater will be its soul contact;
the greater the soul contact, the more quickly can the
personality be transformed.
Using this dual process, we can make rapid spiritual
progress. Thus “I am the soul,” at first said with faith, becomes
an experienced reality.

我是灵魂

这种肯定加强了我们对灵魂,我们本质自我的认同。我们肯
定我们其实是灵魂,可以作为灵魂行事,可以作为灵魂与他人
交往,可以从灵魂层面获得信息和指导。外教和向导有时是有
价值的,但我们的灵魂总是近在咫尺。

当我们学会认同灵魂并以灵魂的目的行动时,我们的行动就
会变得更加确定和清晰。在灵魂智慧中所调用的任何能量或过
程,都是由一种超出我们作为人格时所能达到的理解和智慧所
引导的。

身体的动作往往会唤起相应的形象和想法。如果我们像灵魂
一样行动,我们就会倾向于带来与我们的行动相关的灵魂意识
状态。通过这样做,我们使灵魂的能量能够通过我们的日常活
动来表达。这样的行动必须是现实的,就我们目前的能力而言,
但我们发现,当我们作为灵魂行动时,我们可以做比我们想象
的更多的事情。

精神进步既包括人格的发展达到灵魂层面,也包括灵魂能量
的吸收转化人格。人格越能被提升,其灵魂接触就越大;灵魂接
触得越多,人格就能越快地转化。
Building the Bridge 61

通过这个双重的过程,我们可以快速地取得精神上的进步。
因此,“我是灵魂”,最初带着信念说,变成了一个经验丰富
的现实。

I AM THE LIGHT DIVINE


This affirmation strengthens our identification with that
aspect of the soul we call higher intelligence, or the abstract
mind. It is a higher, more expansive form of mental
functioning than the lower or concrete mind. At the abstract
mind level, we can grasp thoughts in a subtle way and see the
many relationships between individual thoughts and systems
of thought.
Abstract thinking is holistic, like looking down on a valley
from a great height, seeing the valley in its entirety and
understanding how the various aspects of the valley relate to
one another. In contrast, concrete mind thinking would be like
seeing the valley from the limited perspective of the valley
floor, not understanding how the aspects of the valley relate to
one another.
我是神圣的光
这种肯定加强了我们对我们称之为更高智慧或抽象心灵的那一
面的认同。它是一种更高的,更广泛的精神功能形式,比较低
或具体的头脑。在抽象思维层面上,我们可以以一种微妙的方
式来把握思想,看到个体思想和思想系统之间的许多关系。

抽象思维是整体思维,就像从高处俯视山谷,看到整个山谷,
理解山谷的各个方面是如何相互联系的。相比之下,具体的思
维方式就像是从有限的谷底角度来看待山谷,而不是理解山谷
的各个方面是如何相互联系的。

I AM LOVE
This affirmation strengthens our identification with that
aspect of the soul we call love-wisdom. It has been said that we
62 Bridge to Superconsciousness

can only truly love what we completely understand. Advanced


stages of meditation produce the experience of this kind of
lovewisdom by merging the attention completely with that
which is being meditated upon, thus producing a state which
is as close to total understanding as we can reach as humans.
When we affirm the uniqueness of each individual in the
expression of their soul, or essential self, we are demonstrating
a deep quality of love and understanding that is highly
beneficial, both to ourselves and others.

我是爱

这种肯定加强了我们对我们称之为爱的智慧的灵魂方面的认
同。有人说,我们只能真正地爱我们完全理解的东西。冥想的
高级阶段通过将注意力完全与被冥想的事物相结合,产生了这
种爱智慧的体验,从而产生了一种状态,这种状态接近于我们
人类所能达到的全面理解。

当我们确认每个人在表达他们的灵魂或本质自我时的独特性
时,我们正在展示一种对我们自己和他人都非常有益的爱和理
解的深层品质。

I AM WILL

This affirmation strengthens our identification with that


aspect of the soul we call spiritual will. If we can use this level
of will, we are able to overcome obstacles and realize soul
purpose to a great extent. At the level of spiritual will, we
connect to powerful energies governing life and the
evolutionary process.
As we act resolutely with soul purpose in our daily lives,
we gradually become proficient in the use of the spiritual will.
When we can use the spiritual will consistently, we experience
a state of inner peace, as exterior and interior forces cannot
overcome the stability of our spiritual will as it is aligned with
our soul purpose.
Building the Bridge 63

我是意志

这种肯定加强了我们对我们称之为精神意志的灵魂方面的认
同。如果我们能运用这种意志水平,我们就能在很大程度上克
服障碍,实现灵魂的目的。在灵性意志层面,我们连接到控制
生命和进化过程的强大能量。

当我们在日常生活中以坚定的灵魂目标行动时,我们逐渐熟
练地运用了精神意志。当我们能够持续地使用精神意志时,我
们就会体验到一种内在的平静状态,因为外在和内在的力量无
法克服我们精神意志的稳定性,因为它与我们的灵魂目标是一
致的。

I AM FIXED DESIGN
This affirmation strengthens our identification with our
spiritual purpose as expressed through our life plan for this
incarnation, formulated before we incarnated in cooperation
with other souls we chose to work with in this life. Getting in
touch with our plan and implementing it helps us fulfill our
destiny in a clear and direct way without getting sidetracked.
As we gain a clear understanding of our plan, we can
develop specific goals for its implementation. We can utilize
the light of understanding from the soul level to see what
needs to be done, love-wisdom from the soul level to attract
those elements necessary to fulfill our goals, and will from the
soul level to move our goals and plans from the conceptual
stage into manifestation.
As we fulfill our purpose, we experience the satisfaction of
knowing that our life is moving in the right direction. When
we affirm the soul plans of others and help them when
appropriate, we are cooperating with the larger plan for
planetary development. This larger plan can only be
implemented by the combined individual efforts of millions of
people, under the guidance of the Spiritual Hierarchy and
other advanced intelligences.
64 Bridge to Superconsciousness

We might exceed the goals of our soul plan for this life, and
thus be able to start work on the plan we would have
developed for a future incarnation. In this way, we could live a
number of “lifetimes” in the same incarnation.
When we are fulfilling our plan, we usually experience a
sense of rightness in our life. Even if we are having difficult
experiences, we know within that we are doing what we
should do, and experiencing what we need to experience.
We can study our capacities and characteristics, such as ray
type, astrological type, general level of development, and the
condition of our physical, energetic, emotional, and mental
bodies to see how we can best implement our plan with the
capacities, energies, and opportunities available. More
advanced people, or even good friends, can give us
constructive feedback and help us to clarify our life direction.

我是被确定的设计

这一肯定加强了我们对我们的精神目标的认同,就像通过我
们对这个化身的生命计划所表达的那样,在我们与我们选择在
此生与之合作的其他灵魂一起投生之前所表达的那样。接触我
们的计划并执行它帮助我们以一种清晰和直接的方式完成我们
的命运而不被岔开。

当我们对我们的计划有了明确的了解后,我们就可以为计划
的实施制定具体的目标。我们可以利用从灵魂层面的理解之光
来看看需要做什么,从灵魂层面的爱的智慧来吸引那些必要的
元素来实现我们的目标,从灵魂层面的意志来将我们的目标和
计划从概念阶段移到显化阶段。

当我们实现我们的目标时,我们会感到满足,因为我们知道
我们的生活正在朝着正确的方向前进。当我们确认他人的灵魂
计划并在适当的时候帮助他们时,我们正在与更大的行星发展
计划合作。这个更大的计划只能通过千百万人的个人努力,在
精神层次和其他高级智能的指导下实现。
Building the Bridge 65

我们可能会超越我们此生灵魂计划的目标,从而能够开始为
未来化身而制定的计划工作。通过这种方式,我们可以在同一
个化身中生活好几辈子。

当我们完成计划时,我们通常会在生活中体验到一种正确的
感觉。即使我们有困难的经历,我们知道我们在做我们应该做
的事,体验我们需要体验的东西。

我们可以研究我们的能力和特征,如射线类型,星相类型,
一般的发展水平,以及我们的身体,精力,情绪和精神身体的
状况,看看我们如何能最好地执行我们的计划与能力,精力和
机会可用。更高级的人,甚至是好朋友,可以给我们建设性的
反馈,帮助我们明确自己的人生方向。

Step 2. Link With Others


连接其他存有
We focus our attention in the soul star located six inches
above the head and project visualized lines of light from our
soul star to the soul stars of each member of the spiritual
group we identify with, whether they are physically present or
not. We then project a line of light from our soul star to the
soul star of our group, located above and in the center of the
group. Both individual and groups can have soul stars.
Next we use visualized lines of light to link from the group
soul star to the soul stars of those around the planet doing
Rainbow Bridge work or other spiritual work. Then we link
with visualized lines of light from the group soul star to the
soul stars of those spiritual workers on the emotional (astral)
plane, the mental plane, and finally to the Spiritual Hierarchy
and the ashram of the Christ. Other great beings from the past
or present can also be included according to individual
preference, such as Buddha, Krishna, various Christian saints,
and so on.
66 Bridge to Superconsciousness

This linking-in process can be adapted somewhat to


individual preferences. For example, there can be some
variation in the linking-in point, whether it is from the
individual soul star, or the group soul star. The important
point is to link in to the soul stars of individuals or groups,
and not at lower levels which might bring in less desirable
energies.
Linking with other individuals and groups increases the

effectiveness of the Rainbow Bridge techniques by amplifying


the spiritual energy in accordance with the principle of
Building the Bridge 67

synergy. The soul is group-conscious and experiences the


oneness of all, not as a philosophical truism but as a spiritual
reality. By linking with others, soul star to soul star, we affirm
the reality of our oneness at the soul level and help make this
actual oneness an experienced reality.
我们将注意力集中在头顶上方六英寸处的灵魂之星上,将我们
灵魂之星的可视光线投射到我们所认同的精神群体的每一个成
员的灵魂之星上,不管他们是否存在。然后我们将一束光从我
们的灵魂之星投射到我们团队的灵魂之星,位于团队的上方和
中心。个人和团体都可以有灵魂之星。

接下来我们用视觉化的光线来连接团体灵魂之星和那些在地球
上做彩虹桥工作或其他精神工作的灵魂之星。然后我们用视觉
化的光线连接从团体灵魂之星到那些精神工作者的灵魂之星在
情感(星体)层面,精神层面,最后到精神层次和基督的道场。其
他过去或现在的伟大存在也可以根据个人喜好包括,如佛陀,
奎师那,各种基督教圣人等等。

这种连接过程可以在一定程度上适应个人的喜好。例如,连接
点可能会有一些变化,无论是来自单个灵魂之星,还是来自团
体灵魂之星。重要的一点是连接到个人或团体的灵魂之星,而
不是在可能带来不太理想能量的较低水平。

与其他个人和团体的联系增加了

彩虹桥技术的有效性,通过放大精神能量按照协同原则。灵魂
是群体意识的,体验所有的合一,不是作为哲学真理,而是作
为精神现实。通过与他人联系,灵魂之星与灵魂之星,我们在
灵魂层面肯定了我们合一的实相,并帮助使这个实际的合一成
为一个经验的实相。
By linking to the soul star, we leave both ourselves and
others free to work at the soul level and avoid any attachments
which might be created by linking at lower levels. The process
of linking-in is more effective if at least some of the group
members are physically present, as there is a blending of the
energy fields in addition to the linking process.
68 Bridge to Superconsciousness

By linking with the Spiritual Hierarchy, we open ourselves


to potent spiritual influences that can aid us in whatever
constructive work we are doing. The diagram on the previous
page depicts the linking-in process.

通过连接到灵魂之星,我们让自己和他人都可以自由地在灵
魂层面工作,并避免任何可能通过连接到较低层次而产生的附
件。如果至少有一些组成员在场,连接的过程会更有效,因为
除了连接过程外,还有能量场的混合。

通过与精神等级的联系,我们向强大的精神影响开放,这些
影响可以帮助我们做任何建设性的工作。上一页的图表描述了
链接的过程。

Step 3. Widen the Central


Channel 扩展中央通道
Using the Rainbow Bridge techniques, some people have
widened the diameter of the central channel to four inches and
beyond. If we take a cross section of the central channel and
assume that the area of this cross section is proportional to the
amount of energy flowing through it, we can see that an
increase in size from the normal fine thread to four inches and
beyond results in a large increase in the quantity of energy
flowing through the bodies and down into the earth.
This additional energy is immediately available to us as we
widen the central channel. At times, the soul will use the
central channel for its own purposes, but we can also
consciously use invoked energies to help ourselves and others.
It might take some practice and the learning of certain
techniques and approaches, but in time we can use the
energies of the central channel for almost any constructive
purpose, including work on a planetary level.
Building the Bridge 69

The technique for widening the channel is safe and


effective, but must be done thoroughly and correctly for
maximum benefit. Linking with the soul and the group
safeguards the process and makes it effective.
There might be other ways of widening the central channel.
Norman and Josephine Stevens alluded to the fact that many
groups of seekers had picked up the thoughtform of widening
the central channel and developed other effective approaches.
They even stated that, in the future, techniques might be
developed which would be more effective than this present
technique. Ideally, we should always remain open to new and
possibly more effective teachings.
使用彩虹桥技术,一些人将中心通道的直径加宽至四英寸及
以上。如果我们把中央通道和一个横截面假设这个横截面的面
积成正比的能量流经它,我们可以看到,一个正常的细牙螺纹的大
小增加到四英寸,除了导致数量的大量增加的能量流经身体和地
球。

当我们拓宽中央通道时,这些额外的能量就会立即提供给我
们。有时,灵魂会为它自己的目的而使用中央通道,但我们也
可以有意识地使用被调用的能量来帮助我们自己和他人。这可
能需要一些实践和学习某些技术和方法,但随着时间的推移,
我们可以将中央通道的能量用于几乎任何建设性目的,包括在
行星层面上的工作。

拓宽渠道的技术是安全有效的,但必须彻底和正确地进行,
以获得最大的效益。与灵魂的连接和团体的保护过程和使它有
效。

可能还有其他方法来拓宽中央渠道。Norman 和 Josephine
Stevens 提到了一个事实,那就是很多搜索者选择了拓宽中央通
道的想法,并开发了其他有效的方法。他们甚至说,将来可能
会发展出比目前这种技术更有效的技术。理想情况下,我们应
该始终对新的、可能更有效的教导保持开放的态度。
The time to complete the widening of the central channel
to a width of one inch takes approximately three months,
depending upon the individual.
70 Bridge to Superconsciousness

Widening the central channel to a width of one inch or more is


necessary before the techniques outlined in Chapter 4—
Clearing the Energy
Fields, are effective.
Here is the process for widening the central channel.

将中央航道扩阔至一英寸的时间大约需要 3 个月,具体时间
视个人而定。在第 4 章所述的技术(清除能量场)生效之前,将中
央通道的宽度扩大到 1 英寸或 1 英寸以上是必要的。

这是拓宽中央渠道的过程。

1. After saying the Soul Mantram


and linking in, move the soul star diagonally from the
point six inches above the head to a point in front of the
head. Then move the soul star into the center of the head
and slowly return it to its point of origin six inches above
the head. Repeat this action five to seven times.
1.在说出灵魂咒和连接之后,将灵魂星斜着从头顶上方 6 英
寸移动到头部前方。然后把灵魂之星移到头部的中心,慢慢
地回到它在头部上方六英寸处的原点。重复这个动作五到七
次。
It is useful during the
triangulation process to repeat the
phrase “I am the soul,” silently to
maintain the soul contact and
focus. After about one week of
daily work with this first triangle,
move on to Step 2.

在三角剖分过程中,默念“我是灵
魂”,保持心灵的接触和专注,是
很有用的。在完成第一个三角形的日常工作一周后,继续第
二步。
Building the Bridge 71

2. Follow the process outlined in Step 1, but do it once rather


than five to seven times. Then move the
soul star diagonally from six inches above the head to a
point in front of the throat. Then move the soul star into
the center of the throat, and slowly return it to its point of
origin six inches above the head. Repeat this action five to
seven times.

After about one week of daily work with this step, move
on to Step 3.

2.遵循步骤 1 中列出的流程,但是只做一次,而不是五到七
次。然后将魂星斜着从头顶上方 6 英寸移动到喉咙前方。然
后把灵魂之星移到喉咙中央,慢慢地回到它在头顶上方六英
寸处的原点。重复这个动作五到七次。

在进行了大约一周的日常工作之后,继续第三步。

3. Thereafter, move the soul star to a lower center each week,


still taking the soul star in triangular motion through each
of the preceding centers at least once (head, throat, and so
on). Repeat the process five to seven times at each new
center for a period of approximately one week of daily
sessions, and one time for each previous center.

The lower centers are, in this order, the heart, solar plexus,
sacral area below the navel, base of the spine, knees, feet,
and the center six inches below the feet, called the earth
star.

3.此后,每周将灵魂星移到一个较低的中心,仍然以三角运
动的方式将灵魂星通过上述每个中心至少一次(头、喉等)。
在每个新中心重复这一过程 5 到 7 次,之前的中心重复一次,
每天练习,大约进行一周的训练。
72 Bridge to Superconsciousness

下面的中心,按照这个顺序,是心脏,太阳神经丛,肚脐下
的骶骨区域,脊椎底部,膝盖,脚,和中心,在脚底 6 英寸,
称为地球之星。

4. The next session after you have cleared the channel from
the earth star to the soul star, spin the soul star
counterclockwise while moving it through the entire
central channel from the earth star to the soul star. This
spinning action increases the rate of channel widening.
Repeat this single triangle, spinning the soul star, in all the
following sessions. It is now no longer necessary to do an
individual triangle for each center.

The following triangulation diagram depicts the movement


of the soul star through the various points along the central
channel.
4、在你清理完从地球星到灵魂星的通道后的下一个环节,
逆时针旋转灵魂星,同时通过整个中央通道从地球星到灵魂星。
这种旋转动作增加了通道扩展的速度。

在接下来的所有环节中,重复这个三角形,旋转灵魂之星。
现在不再需要为每个中心做单独的三角形了。

下面的三角图描绘了灵魂之星通过中央通道的各个点的运动。
Building the Bridge 73

Soul Star
(Head Center )

Third Eye Center


Throat Center

Heart Center
Solar Plexus Center
Sacral Center
Base Center

Knee Center

Foot Center

Earth Star

Move the soul star at a pace that feels comfortable. Spend

more time on the lower points if they are more resistant to the
action of the soul star. The solar plexus and sacral points often
require the most work. We encourage approximately seven
daily sessions on each point, with some adjustment for sensed
individual progress. The effort to sense our progress can help
74 Bridge to Superconsciousness

develop sensitivity. This developing sensitivity is useful in


making our own work more effective and in helping others.
Try to balance your progress so that the channel is
widened evenly over its entire length. A central channel of
uniform width, without blockages or unevenness in width,
easily achieved through the systemic application of the central
channel clearing technique as given here, is the most useful for
spiritual work. Josephine Stevens found through clairvoyant
observation that some people, utilizing processes other than
the central channel widening process given here, succeeded in
widening the central channel partway through the body,
sometimes as far as the solar plexus center. Such partial
developments are undesirable, as the energy will disperse
through the body at the point where the channel narrows,
creating stress on the body. Thus we encourage the completion
of the channel to the desirable width along the entire length of
the body and down into the ground.
Once the channel has been sufficiently widened to the
earth star, the energy flow through the channel increases
significantly. Often it can be sensed, either in oneself or others,
as a noticeable upward shift in positive energy. Once a
sufficient connection has been made between the soul star and
the earth star, soul energies flow smoothly down the central
channel out into the personal energy field and down into the
earth. At the same time, earth energies rise into the energy
field to balance the downpouring soul energies. The blended
earth and soul energies help to nourish and purify the bodies
and create a balance between the higher and lower energies.
Both soul and earth energies are necessary for a balanced life.
以一种感觉舒服的速度移动灵魂之星。花更多的时间在较低
的点上,如果他们对灵魂之星的作用更有抵抗力的话。太阳神
经丛和骶骨点通常需要做最多的工作。我们鼓励在每一点上进
行大约七次每天的会议,并对感觉到的个人进步进行一些调整。
感知我们的进步的努力有助于培养我们的敏感性。这种发展的
敏感性有助于使我们的工作更有效和帮助他人。
Building the Bridge 75

试着平衡你的进度,这样通道就会在整个长度上均匀地加宽。
一个统一宽度的中央通道,没有阻塞,也没有不均匀的宽度,
很容易通过中央信道清理技术的系统应用来实现,这是最实用
的精神工作。Josephine Stevens 通过千里眼观察发现,有些人,
除了这里给出的中央通道拓宽过程,还利用其他过程,成功地
将中央通道部分通过身体,有时延伸到太阳神经丛中心。这种
局部发展是不可取的,因为能量会在通道变窄的点通过身体分
散,给身体造成压力。因此,我们鼓励完成的渠道,以理想的
宽度沿着整个身体的长度和下降到地面。

一旦通道足够宽到地球恒星,通过通道的能量流就会显著增
加。通常,它可以被感觉到,无论是在自己或他人,作为一个
明显的积极能量向上转移。一旦灵魂之星和地球之星之间建立
了足够的连接,灵魂能量就会平稳地沿着中央通道流入个人能
量场,并向下流入地球。与此同时,地球能量上升到能量场,
以平衡向下倾泻的灵魂能量。混合的地球和灵魂能量帮助滋养
和净化身体,在更高和更低的能量之间创造平衡。灵魂和地球
能量都是平衡生命所必需的。
We can open the energy channels in the arms and legs by
bringing the soul star successively down to the ends of each of
the arms and legs, in a triangular motion. Then we bring the
soul star along the arms and legs, back to the central channel,
and then back to the point of origin six inches above the head.
By widening the energy channels up the arms and legs, we
increase the flow of soul energy through them. These widened
channels through the arms and legs can be used for many
purposes which involve the transmission or reception of
energies, including healing through the hands and receiving
earth energies through the feet.

START AT THE TOP


In widening the central channel, we begin with the higher
centers first. In this way, we bring in soul energies so we will
have more energy to work through the more dense and
resistant points along the channel, such as the solar plexus,
sacral, and base of the spine.
76 Bridge to Superconsciousness

The triangular movements of the soul star help create


stability in the energy field. These movements are left as traces
in the field that are visible to clairvoyant vision.

我们可以打开手臂和腿部的能量通道,通过将灵魂之星以三
角形的运动依次向下到每个手臂和腿部的末端。然后我们让灵
魂之星沿着胳膊和腿,回到中央通道,然后回到头部上方 6 英
寸的原点。通过拓宽手臂和腿部的能量通道,我们增加了灵魂
能量通过它们的流动。这些通过手臂和腿的拓宽通道可以用于
许多目的,包括传递或接收能量,包括通过手疗愈和通过脚接
收地球能量。

从头开始

在拓宽中央通道时,我们首先从更高的中心开始。通过这种
方式,我们引入了灵魂能量,这样我们就有更多的能量沿着通
道通过更致密和更有抵抗力的点,比如太阳丛,骶神经和脊椎
底部。

灵魂之星的三角运动有助于在能量场中创造稳定。这些运动
在能量场中留下痕迹,这些痕迹是透视者可见的。

BENEFITS OF CHANNEL WIDENING


渠道不断扩大的好处

As the central channel is widened, soul energies are


available for use in more advanced techniques to remove
impurities and blockages from the physical, energetic,
emotional, mental, and causal bodies. As the soul energy flows
through the bodies, it transforms them in a positive way.
We can accelerate this process of transformation by right
living, or we can impede, or even reverse, the process by living
destructively. The consequences of what we do are magnified
by this increased soul energy. If we keep the channel clear, the
descending soul energies gradually remove the limitations (see
Chapter 4—Clearing the Energy Fields) that exist in the
Building the Bridge 77

various bodies. The energies from the central channel alone


will eventually eliminate the limitations, although there are
advanced techniques of clearing that can accelerate the
removal process.
随着中央通道的拓宽,灵魂能量可用于更高级的技术中,以
清除身体、能量、情感、精神和因果身体中的杂质和障碍。当
灵魂能量流经身体时,它以一种积极的方式改变它们。

我们可以通过正确的生活来加速这个转变的过程,或者我们
可以通过破坏性的生活来阻碍甚至逆转这个过程。我们所做的
事情的后果被这增加的灵魂能量放大了。如果我们保持通道畅
通,下降的灵魂能量会逐渐消除存在于各个身体中的限制(见第
4 章,清除能量场)。虽然有先进的清除技术可以加速清除过程,
但仅中央通道的能量最终将消除这些限制。
As soul energy flows through us and into the earth, it helps
to uplift, heal, and transform whatever it touches. Our
personal central channel, as well as our group central channel,
forms part of the central channel of the Planetary Logos, that
great being whose body of manifestation is the entire planet.
Thus, individual and group central channel widening
helps the progress of the earth. When the Planetary Logos
becomes superconscious on his own level, then earth will
become a sacred planet and much of the present day suffering
and turmoil will be transcended. Just as we as individuals will
one day be spiritually liberated and leave far behind many of
the problems which now seem so important to us, so the
Planetary Logos will eventually transcend his own limitations
and our planet will become a “heaven on earth.” In such a
planetary condition, it is likely that superconsciousness will be
the predominate mode of human consciousness, just as self-
consciousness, with all its attendant suffering, is the
predominate mode today.

当灵魂能量流经我们并流入地球时,它有助于提升、疗愈和
改变它所触及的一切。我们的个人中央通道,以及我们的团体
78 Bridge to Superconsciousness

中央通道,构成了行星道的中央通道的一部分,那伟大的存在
的身体表现就是整个行星。

因此,个体和群体中央通道的拓宽有助于地球的进步。当行

像自我意识,伴随着它的所有痛苦,成为今天的主导模式一
样。”

ENERGIES OF CHANGE
Planetary evolutionary processes are affected in part by the
quality of humanity, and also by the various energies active
within the earth sphere, both those generated from within and
those coming from extraplanetary sources, such as solar,
constellational, and ray energies. Widening the central channel
can aid in the transformation of the earth by helping to bring
in those high-grade energies which will sweep away outworn
thoughts and ideas and build the new structures and forms
necessary for a new civilization. The energies of the central
channel can be used to amplify and accelerate any constructive
evolutionary process, whether individual, group, or planetary.

Step 4. Invoke the Spiritual


Vortex 祈请灵性旋涡
As the soul star moves upward through the central
channel, it widens the channel by throwing energetic (etheric),
emotional, mental, and causal matter out into the energy field.
If this matter were allowed to build up in the energy field, we
would appear to clairvoyant observation as walking around in
a cloud of ever increasing density. But the use of the spiritual
vortex quickly and easily removes this matter and sweeps it
into the ground, leaving our energy field clear.
We bring down the spiritual vortex by saying, “In the
wisdom of the soul, I invoke the spiritual vortex.” Then we
imagine a swirling vortex of energy, or white light, coming
from 30 feet above our head, down around the body, and then
30 feet into the ground. The vortex moves in a clockwise
direction when viewed from the top. When using the vortex, it
is helpful to repeat “I am the soul,” silently to aid the process
through soul identification.
We bring one vortex after another from 30 feet above our
head, down around our body, and then 30 feet into the
ground. We continue this process until we have swept away
the matter generated by the channel widening process. The
vortexing usually takes about six to eight minutes, or slightly
longer than the time spent widening the channel. If we spend
longer on widening the channel, say nine minutes, then we
need to spend proportionately longer using the vortex, say 10
to 11 minutes. We can either stick to the time given or we can
try to sense when the energy field is clear and continue using
the vortex until we experience clarity.
当灵魂之星通过中央通道向上移动时,它通过将能量(以太)、
情感、精神和因果物质抛入能量场而扩大通道。如果这个物质
被允许在能量场中堆积,我们就会像透视者一样在密度不断增
80 Bridge to Superconsciousness

加的云层中行走。但是使用灵性漩涡可以迅速而轻松地清除这
一物质,并将其扫入地下,让我们的能量场变得清晰。

我们通过说:“在灵魂的智慧中,我召唤灵性漩涡。“然后我
们设想一种能量的旋涡旋涡,或白光,从我们头上方 30 英尺处,
围绕身体向下,然后再进入地面 30 英尺。从顶部看,漩涡以顺
时针方向移动。当使用漩涡时,默念“我是灵魂”有助于通过
灵魂识别来帮助这个过程。

我们把一个接一个的漩涡从我们头顶 30 英尺高的地方带到
我们身体周围,然后从 30 英尺高的地方进入地面。我们继续这
一进程,直到我们把渠道扩大过程产生的问题一扫而空。涡流
通常需要 6 到 8 分钟,或者比拓宽通道的时间稍长一点。如果我
们在拓宽通道上花的时间更长,比如 9 分钟,那么我们就需要
相应地花更长时间使用漩涡,比如 10 到 11 分钟。我们可以坚持
给定的时间,也可以尝试感知能量场何时是清晰的,然后继续
使用漩涡直到我们体验到清晰为止。
As the radiations from the central channel increase, they
help eliminate unwanted matter through a process of
combustion. Through spiritual growth, the energy field also
increases in radiation, aiding in this process of combustion.
The vortex will continue to be useful in future spiritual work,
supplemented by the burning radiation of both the central
channel and the personal energy field.
随着中央通道辐射的增加,它们有助于通过燃烧过程消除不
必要的物质。通过灵性成长,能量场也增加了辐射,帮助这个
燃烧过程。漩涡将继续在未来的灵性工作中有用,补充中央通
道和个人能量场的燃烧辐射。
The vortex not only sweeps unwanted material from the
energy field—it also brings down beneficial energies from the
soul level. The vortex can be done at any time during the day
to remove unwanted material from our energy field. We often
Building the Bridge 81

pick up subtle matter from our surrounding environment, or


generate it ourselves by negative emotions and thinking. The
vortex, as an instrument of the soul, can also expand to clean
up the energy fields of others in the surrounding environment,
if that is in line with their soul purpose. All this can occur quite
apart from any conscious intention on our part, in the same
82 Bridge to Superconsciousness

way that our physical bodies function intelligently, for the


most part, out of the range of our conscious intention.
漩涡不仅扫走了能量场中无用的物质,也从灵魂层面拉下了有
益的能量。涡旋可以在白天的任何时候进行,从我们的能量场
中移除不需要的物质。我们经常从周围的环境中发现一些微妙
的东西,或者我们自己通过消极的情绪和思考产生这些东西。
漩涡,作为灵魂的工具,也可以扩展来清理周围环境中其他人
的能量场,如果这符合他们的灵魂目的的话。所有这一切都可
以发生在我们的任何有意识意图之外,就像我们的身体智能地
运作,在大多数情况下,超出了我们的有意识意图的范围。
This expansion of the vortex will occur automatically if
appropriate, so we don’t have to give any personal attention to
the matter or try to consciously expand it. We can use the
vortex silently in social situations to help clarify the
atmosphere. There are primitive forms of life which live in the
earth and utilize the unwanted matter which we sweep out of
our energy field. We might call this process of sending
unwanted material into the earth, “spiritual ecology in action.”

漩涡的这种膨胀会在适当的时候自动发生,所以我们不需要
对这件事给予任何个人的关注,也不需要有意识地去扩展它。
我们可以在社交场合无声无息地利用漩涡来帮助澄清气氛。有
一些原始的生命形式生活在地球上,利用我们从能量场中扫出
的不想要的物质。我们可以把这种将不需要的物质送入地球的
过程称为“精神生态的行动”。

INVOKE GROUP SPIRITUAL VORTEX


The group spiritual vortex unifies and integrates the
energies of the group. If we are working in a physical group,
we can invoke the group spiritual vortex by saying, “In the
wisdom of the soul, we invoke the group spiritual vortex.” The
action of the group spiritual vortex is similar to that of the
individual vortex except that the group vortex comes down
around the entire group. The group vortex starts 30 feet above
the group, comes down around the entire group in a clockwise
direction, and then is sent 30 feet into the ground. It is only
necessary to do one group spiritual vortex.
Building the Bridge 83

召唤团体灵性漩涡

团体精神漩涡统一并整合团体的能量。如果我们在一个物质
团体中工作,我们可以通过说,“在灵魂的智慧中,我们调用
团体精神漩涡。“群体精神漩涡的作用与个体漩涡相似,只是
群体漩涡在整个群体周围下降。”群涡旋从群上方 30 英尺处开
始,顺时针方向绕着整个群下降,然后被送到 30 英尺的地方。
只需要做一个团体的灵性漩涡。

Step 5. Say The Mantram of


Unification 说出合一咒语
Repeat the Mantram of Unification with concentration,
allowing the power of the words to penetrate into the
consciousness.

集中精力重复合一咒语,让文字的力量渗透到意识。

The sons of men are one, and I am one with them


I seek to love, not hate
I seek to serve and not exact due service
I seek to heal, not hurt
Let pain bring due reward of light and love
Let the soul control the outer form, and life and all events
And bring to light the love which underlies the happenings
of the time

Let vision come, and insight


Let the future stand revealed
Let inner union demonstrate, and outer cleavages be gone
Let love prevail, let all men love

世人本为一,我与他们为一

我寻求爱,而不是恨
84 Bridge to Superconsciousness

我寻求服务,而不是苛求应该得到服务

我寻求治愈,而不是伤害

让痛苦带来光明和爱的回报

让灵魂控制外在的形式,生命和所有的事情,并使我们
在所有的事情中达到光明与爱

让远见和洞察力到来

让未来展现

让内在的合一显现,让外在的分裂消失,让爱盛行,让
所有的人去爱

The words of the Mantram of Unification, said with the


deep conviction of the mind and heart, have a powerful
personal, group, environmental, and planetary effect. If used
on a wide scale, this mantram could help change attitudes,
expand the sense of purpose, and bring about a sense of unity
for the planet. The attitudes promoted by the Mantram of
Unification help build up and maintain good personal
relationships. Its use has proven helpful in healing personal
relationship problems.
统一的咒语,以心灵和心灵的坚定信念说,具有强大的个人、
群体、环境和行星效应。如果广泛使用,这个咒语可以帮助改
变人们的态度,扩大目标感,并为地球带来一种团结的感觉。
统一的口号所提倡的态度有助于建立和维持良好的个人关系。
事实证明,它的使用有助于治疗个人关系问题。

Step 6. Invoke the One 祈请


一的临在
We invoke the energies of the divine will by saying:

我们祈请神圣的能量并说:
Building the Bridge 85

As the personal self infused by the soul,


the soul infused by the personal self, as
the unified group, we invoke the One

作为由灵魂注入的个人自我,由个人自我注入的灵魂,作为
合一的团体,我们祈请一

This phrase puts us in touch with a level of consciousness


above the soul, called the monadic level by the Tibetan Master
Djwhal Khul. It is a level of consciousness primarily
characterized by will, and relates to the center of Shamballa, a
group of advanced beings higher in evolutionary development
than the Spiritual Hierarchy.

这句话让我们接触到一种高于灵魂的意识层次,被西藏大师
迪瓦尔库尔称为一元层次。它是一种意识层次,主要以意志为
特征,与香巴拉中心有关,香巴拉是一群进化发展比精神等级
更高的高级生物。

Step 7. Work on Removing


Patterns 开始移除模式
The pattern clearing work, described in Chapter 4—
Clearing the Energy Fields, can be done at this time, if
everyone participating in the meditation has finished
widening the entire channel, as described earlier.

在第 4 章描述的模式清理工作,清理能量场,可以在这个时
候完成,如果每个参与冥想的人都已经完成了拓宽整个通道,
就像前面描述的那样。
86 Bridge to Superconsciousness

Step 8. Say The Great


Invocation 说出伟大的祈请
The earth is surrounded by an energy distribution system
consisting of interlocking pathways of energy. These pathways
exist in subtle matter above the vibratory frequency of the
physical plane. To bring the energies of light, love, and power
into this planetary network, we say:
地球被一个能量分配系统所包围,这个系统由连锁的能量通
道组成。这些路径存在于物理平面振动频率之上的微妙物质中。
为了将光、爱和力量的能量带入这个行星网络,我们说:
We direct the inflow of hierarchical energies
into the planetary network and help to implement
their distribution by means of The Great
Invocation.

我们将分层的能量注入行星网络并通过伟
大的祈请来实现他们的分布。

Then we say The Great Invocation:

然后我们说伟大的祈祷:

From the point of light within the mind of God


Let light stream forth into the minds of men
Let light descend on earth

From the point of love within the heart of God


Let love stream forth into the hearts of men
May Christ return to earth

From the center where the will of God is known


Building the Bridge 87

Let purpose guide the little wills of men


The purpose which the masters know and serve
From the center which we call the race of men
Let the plan of love and light work out
And may it seal the door where evil dwells
Let light and love and power restore the plan on earth.

(看不太懂)

Pause sufficiently to allow the energies to flow through the


group and out into the energy network surrounding the
planet. At the beginning of the flow of energies, we say:

暂停足够的时间,让能量流通过团队,并进入环绕地球的能
量网络。在能量流动的开始,我们说:

We now send energies into the energy network


surrounding the planet,
through the major energy centers, the minor energy centers,
and through all the points of light around the globe.

我们现在把能量送进环绕地球的能量网络,

通过主要的能量中心,次要的能量中心,通过全球所有的
光点。

The Tibetan Master Djwhal Khul gave New York, Tokyo,


Darjeeling, Geneva, and London as the major energy centers of
the planet. If you want, you can name them. Norman and
Josephine also suggested that we could add Washington D. C.
and Los Angeles to the list. There are other energy centers
around the planet which people in countries other than the
United States might want to link to, if intuition suggests that
such linking is appropriate.
Visualize and/or sense the energies flowing through the
group and out into the energy network. Hold the energy flow
88 Bridge to Superconsciousness

for a comfortable period of time. Norman and Josephine found


through clairvoyant observation that their group could hold
the energy flow for about five minutes, after which the
attention wandered and further holding of the energy flow
was not useful.

西藏大师 Djwhal Khul 把纽约、东京、大吉岭、日内瓦和伦


敦作为地球的主要能源中心。如果你愿意,你可以给它们命名。
诺曼和约瑟芬还建议,我们可以把华盛顿和洛杉矶也加进去。
地球上还有其他的能源中心,美国以外的国家的人们可能想要
连接,如果直觉暗示这种连接是合适的。

观想和/或感觉能量流过群体并进入能量网络。保持能量流
动一段舒适的时间。Norman 和 Josephine 通过千里眼观察发现,
他们的小组可以保持能量流大约 5 分钟,之后注意力走神,继
续保持能量流没有用。

THE ENERGY NETWORK


The planetary network is an energy grid built in subtle
matter by the Spiritual Hierarchy and their helpers as a means
to distribute energy in a directed way throughout the planet.
This energy system is subject to evolution and change, in line
with the development of humanity and the planet. Using this
system, we can help distribute energies to various trouble
spots in the world, to accomplish hierarchical plans and
purposes. We do not have to concern ourselves with where the
energy is going— once we help put energy into the network,
the Spiritual Hierarchy can distribute it where needed.

能源网络

行星网络是一个由灵性阶层和他们的助手在微妙物质中构建
的能量网格,作为一种在整个行星上定向分配能量的方式。这
个能量系统服从进化和变化,与人类和地球的发展一致。使用
Building the Bridge 89

这个系统,我们可以帮助分配能量到世界上的各种麻烦点,以
完成分层的计划和目的。我们不需要关心能量的去向——一旦
我们帮助将能量放入网络,灵性阶层就可以将其分配到需要的
地方。

THE GREAT INVOCATION


This world “prayer,” belonging to all of humanity and not
to any particular group or sect, has been translated into over
60 languages. It is said by many thousands of people every
day.
The line “may Christ return to earth” can be interpreted
broadly as the reappearance of the world teacher, the Christ,
the Lord Maitreya, Krishna, the Messiah, the Iman Mahdi, the
Bodhisattva, or simply as the dawning of Christ consciousness,
cosmic consciousness, or superconsciousness on a worldwide
scale. Most of the world’s religions have a tradition of a savior
who returns from time to time to uplift humanity.
The Great Invocation brings in the triple energies of light,
love, and power. These energies are necessary to manifest the
kingdom of heaven on earth and complete the externalization
program of the Spiritual Hierarchy. As these energies pour
into the energy network through us and the group, they refine
and uplift our own consciousness and that of the group,
helping us to better serve the divine plan. The energies sent
into the energy network support the spiritual workers of the
world in their efforts to help all the kingdoms of nature,
including the human.

伟大的祈祷

这个世界的“祈祷”,属于全人类而不是属于任何特定的团
体或教派,已经被翻译成 60 多种语言。每天都有成千上万的人
这么说。
90 Bridge to Superconsciousness

“愿基督回到地球”这句话可以被广泛地解释为世界教师,
基督,主弥勒佛,奎师那,弥赛亚,伊曼·马赫迪,和

菩萨,或简单地作为基督意识、宇宙意识或世界范围超意识
的曙光。世界上大多数宗教都有一个救世主的传统,他会时不
时地回来帮助人类。

伟大的召唤带来光、爱和力量的三重能量。这些能量是在地
球上显化天国和完成灵性层次的外化程序所必需的。当这些能
量通过我们和团队注入能量网络时,它们会改善和提升我们自
己和团队的意识,帮助我们更好地服务于神圣计划。进入能量
网络的能量支持世界的灵性工作者,帮助自然界的所有王国,
包括人类。

Step 9. Draw That Which We


Need 画出我们需要的东西
Recognizing that we might need specific energies during a
given meditation, we say the following phrase aloud as a
group:

意识到我们可能需要特定的能量在一个给定的冥想中,我们
大声说以下短语作为一个团体:

In the wisdom of the soul, and to serve


hierarchical or soul purpose, I (we) draw
that which I (we) need from the central
reservoir

在灵魂的智慧中,为了服务于最高或灵魂目
的,我(我们)从中心容器中提取我(我们)
需要的东西

One of the things that can be overlooked on the spiritual


path is the necessity for maintaining our own psychological
Building the Bridge 91

health. Using the above phrase helps us to draw in spiritual


energies and guidance to help ourselves. After we say this
invocation, we allow a few minutes for the energies to flow
into each member of the group, under soul direction, using our
intuition to sense when the process has completed.
在精神的道路上有一件事是可以忽略的,那就是维持我们自
己的心理健康的必要性。使用上面的短语帮助我们吸引灵性能
量和引导来帮助我们自己。在我们说了这个祈祷之后,我们允
许几分钟的时间,让能量在灵魂的指引下流入团队的每一个成
员,用我们的直觉去感知过程何时结束。

10. Work on Healing


If we are working in a group, we can use the integrated
group energies for healing work, either for ourselves or others.
A number of Rainbow Bridge meditation techniques have been
developed for the purpose of healing. In all cases, these
techniques can be done while working alone, but are more
effective and powerful when done as an integrated group.
Healing is further elaborated in Chapter 9—Alignment and
Healing, but here we give a few healing techniques.
Healing can be brought about through pranic energy,
emotional energy, mental energy, or soul energy, singly or in
various combinations. Healing with soul energy is superior to
other methods because the energies of the soul are not only
more powerful than these other energies, but also have an
inherent intelligence that works beyond our limited human
abilities.
Three basic approaches can be used in this section of the
meditation:
• Invoking colors, attitudes, and energies
• Sending out healing energy
• Doing individual healing work (see Chapter 9)
INVOKING COLORS, ATTITUDES, AND ENERGIES
We say the following phrases and state the color, attitude,
or energy that we wish to invoke:
92 Bridge to Superconsciousness

In the wisdom of the soul,


linked with Hierarchy and the ashram of the Christ
I (we) invoke . . .

For example, we could invoke the color blue, or the


attitude of goodwill, or the energy of joy—whatever seems
appropriate at the time. The energy of joy is useful in
counteracting the psychological weight of the many problems
present in the world today. It appears as a pale golden color,
similar to the color of ginger ale, and contains sparkling
bubbles of energy.
If we are working with colors during a Rainbow Bridge
meditation session, we will already have done the necessary
preliminary work. If we are doing the color work by itself, we
first need to follow the steps of linking in, clearing the channel,
using the vortex, and then follow the invocation of color with
The Great Invocation. Other mantrams can also be added. We
can do the work silently if we are in a situation where talking
out loud is inappropriate.
If we want to make the invocation more expansive, we can
invoke the attitude or energy for all beings using the phrase:

In the wisdom of the soul,


linked with Hierarchy and the ashram of the Christ,
we ( I ) invoke … (then give the attitude or the
energy) for all beings

Colors are not appropriate for all beings since they are
specific to the situation, but certain attitudes and energies have
a universal application, such as the energy of love or the
attitude of goodwill.

Using Color Energies


One of the objectives of the Rainbow Bridge work is to
develop the ability to recognize and intelligently use energies.
Building the Bridge 93

A relatively easy way to begin working with energies is to


identify them by their color. The visual imagination is usually
well developed in seekers and relatively easy to use in
developing sensitivity to energy frequencies.
Energies can manifest on various levels as color, taste, feel,
smell, states of consciousness, and so on, from the lowest
physical to the highest spiritual. By linking with the soul and
invoking various colors, we can visualize, imagine, and
actually see these colors as they flow down the central channel
and radiate into the energy field.
It is not advisable to use more than two colors at one time.
The colors used should balance each other in terms of their
energy effects. For example, a stimulating energy, such as
orange, should be balanced with a calming energy, such as
blue.
We can invoke colors anytime, such as in personal
relationships and social situations to heal, uplift, balance, and
energize. For example, we might help someone overcome
negativity by invoking pink, the energy of love and goodwill.
Or we might help someone to think more clearly by invoking
blue, a stabilizing and calming energy. The colors blue and
pink work well together.
The invocation of colors can be useful in social situations to
bring about balance and harmony. For example, if we find
ourselves in an antagonistic social situation, we can silently
invoke pink and stimulate the love nature of those involved,
followed by blue to balance and calm. We have received many
reports of the successful use of color in social situations.

Characteristics of Colors

• Violet: A healing energy with the capacity to neutralize


infection and promote recovery from illness. It should be
followed by white to counteract overstimulation from an
94 Bridge to Superconsciousness

excess of violet in the body. On some levels, violet is the


Christ Light.

• Silver: A nourishing, sustaining energy. It promotes


growth, heightens responsiveness, increases sensitivity to
impressions, and enhances subjective awareness. It
decreases emotionalism.

• Gold: A pervasive, protective energy. It lifts vibrations and


helps eliminate hindering influences. When consistently
invoked, it builds up in the energy field and becomes an
effective protection against negative environmental
impacts.
• Pink: The energy of love and goodwill. It is useful in the
healing of misunderstandings and conflicts and in creating
harmony and goodwill.

• Purple: An energy that strengthens purpose, aspiration,


and determination. It relates to will and power.

• Blue: An energy that stimulates, calms, clears, and assists


thinking processes. It strengthens aspiration and devotion.

• Green: An energy that promotes creative expression and


concrete manifestation. It has healing and quieting
properties. It promotes cooperation, renewal, and
regeneration.

• Red: An energy that increases endurance, physical


strength, and the ability to take action. It strengthens
muscles, improves circulation, and strengthens the heart.

• Orange: An energy that promotes vitality. It feeds the


nervous system and the concrete mind. It is a stimulating
energy.

• Yellow: A mental energy. It directly stimulates the mental


body and increases the capacity to work effectively with
Building the Bridge 95

the mind. There are many gradations within any given


color. When choosing a color, choose the middle shade for
contrast with other colors. As skill develops, we might be
able to select subtler shades of colors to adapt the energies
to more specific purposes.

SENDING OUT HEALING


In addition to working with colors and attitudes, we can
send out healing energies from our soul star, or the soul star of
our group, to the soul stars of other individuals, groups, and
situations. In this way we can utilize some of the beneficial
energies that are generated by group work to help others. In
the process of helping others, we also help ourselves, because
the healing energy we send to others has a beneficial effect on
us as it passes through our energy field. The phrase used is:

In the wisdom of the soul,


linked with Hierarchy and the ashram of the Christ,
we send out healing energies from the group soul star
(or our individual soul star if we are working alone)
to the soul stars of individuals, groups, or situations,
named out loud or silently

Then follows a period of silence in which the healing


energies go out. There might be those who feel more
comfortable sending healing silently while others might want
to name the individuals, groups, or situations out loud for
added emphasis. After a period of time, the leader asks if the
healings feel complete. If everyone answers “yes,” the healing
session is concluded. If not, more time is taken until a
unanimous affirmative answer is obtained.
If we are doing this healing work as a part of the Rainbow
Bridge meditation, we do not need to do any preliminary
work. However, if we are doing this work by itself, we first
96 Bridge to Superconsciousness

need to link in, clear the central channel, and use the vortex.
Ideally, the healing session should be concluded with The
Great Invocation.
The most dramatic result of this healing work was related
by a man who drove about 90 miles to a Rainbow Bridge
group to report that he was in his hospital bed when he
experienced a downpouring of healing energies at the time we
were sending him healing. He made an unusually rapid
recovery and was very grateful for the help he had received. It
was a heartwarming experience for the entire group, and one
of those moments that is long treasured as confirmation of a
deeper reality.
Using a variation of the healing technique, any positive
energy can be sent, such as the energy of peace or the energy
of goodwill. We generally use healing energy because it works
well in a wide range of situations.
To recapitulate, if we are working in a group, we send out
healing energies from the group soul star; if we are working
alone, we send out energies from our individual soul star. See
Chapter 8—Alignment and Healing, for a complete outline of
the individual healing process, which can be used at this step.

Step 11. Say the Mantram of


the Disciple
To affirm our commitment to manifest higher values on the
physical plane, we say the Mantram of the Disciple:

I am a point of light within a greater light,


I am a strand of loving energy within the stream of love
divine. I am a point of sacrificial fire focused within the fiery
will of God And thus I stand.
Building the Bridge 97

I am a way by which men may achieve.


I am a source of strength enabling them to
stand I am a beam of light shining upon their
way, And thus I stand.
And standing thus revolve, and
tread this way the ways of men,
and know the ways of God and
thus I stand.

One of the most significant phrases in the Mantram of the


Disciple relates to the act of turning back to “tread this way the
ways of men.” It refers to the ability to contact higher levels of
consciousness and then turn back to everyday life to bring the
light, love, and power of those higher states into expression.
“And thus I stand,” relates to the ability to maintain alignment
with the soul and the Spiritual Hierarchy, persevering against
all obstacles and on to eventual victory.

Step 12. Chant OM Three


Times
The OM should be chanted three times at a comfortable
and appropriate pitch so that each individual sound
harmonizes with the group sound. The use of the OM has
many beneficial effects. It drives out undesirable matter from
the bodies and energy field and builds in higher grade matter
and energy. It helps stabilize and purify consciousness.
98 Bridge to Superconsciousness

Step 13. Say the Reality


Mantram
We now make the following statement:

May reality govern my every thought and action,


and truth be the master of my life

This mantram affirms the connection between truthfulness


and the mastery of life. It asserts the value of reality-based
decisions.

Step 14. Say the Peace


Mantram
We now say:

We affirm that earth is becoming a sacred planet and


there will be peace on earth

The thought of peace has already taken hold of the


consciousness of humanity, but now has to be realized in a
practical way on the physical plane. As we say this mantram,
we help to strengthen the thoughtform of peace within the
global mind, hastening the day when members of humanity
will have a platform of peace and security upon which to build
their lives. By affirming that earth is becoming a sacred planet,
we are aligning ourselves with the purpose of the Planetary
Logos who is preparing for an upward shift in consciousness
which will transform the earth and make peace a permanent
reality.
Building the Bridge 99

Step 15. Express Gratitude


When we meditate as souls, we align ourselves with the
spiritual forces working for the upliftment of humanity. It is
appropriate to conclude by giving thanks, either aloud or
silently, for the help we receive and for the opportunity to
serve.

Step 16. Share Experiences


We encourage the development of sensitivity to energies.
Such development helps us work effectively with the
techniques for ourselves and also help others by giving them
accurate feedback. At the conclusion of the meeting, group
members can share any of their subjective experiences. This
sharing can help build a sense of trust and openness among
group members and promote group unity.
Comparing subjective experiences with the attitude of an
objective observer can provide useful information concerning
the Rainbow Bridge processes in general and their specific
effects on group members. Through sharing and feedback,
group members can also give each other a reality check. On the
other hand, one or more members, or even the entire group,
may not want to share, and that is all right. Each group has its
own dynamic which needs to be respected.

Keeping the Channel Clear


It is important to keep the channel clear on a daily basis,
but when you are short of time, you can do this quickly by
using the Soul Mantram, the triangulation technique, and the
vortex.

Clearing the Energy Fields 81

Chapter 4— Clearing the

Energy Fields
T hrough clairvoyant observation, Josephine Stevens found that
the energy fields of everyone she met contained patterns,
which are nonphysical, dark-appearing forms that extend out
from the physical body. These patterns are thoughtforms, created
by the individual. Thoughtforms are subtle forms that embody
thoughts, desires, and intentions. Instead of being sent out into
manifestation, the thoughtforms have remained as undesirable
accumulations in the aura of the individual who created them. The
patterns were observed as distinctive for each individual. For
example, a well known spiritual teacher, known to Josephine, had
changed his physical appearance dramatically, yet she quickly
recognized him by the distinctive patterns in his energy field.
Josephine and Norman originally thought these patterns were
part of a person’s individuality and were a natural characteristic of
the energy field. Later, they realized that these patterns are
limiting forms that interfere with spiritual development and can
be removed with the techniques that they discovered in their
process of experimentation.
Initially they worked with another teacher who had developed
techniques to eliminate patterns. After much work using these
techniques, they found that the patterns were not being removed.
They finally discovered that they could only remove the patterns
by first invoking the soul and then using the appropriate
techniques. Invoking the soul was the vital element missing from
their previous unsuccessful attempts to remove the patterns.
To invoke the soul, they used a modified version of the soul
mantram, taken from the Alice Bailey teachings. This revelatory
discovery, apparently so simple and even obvious, opened up a
82 Bridge to Superconsciousness

new world of possibilities to them and led to their successful


formulation of the highly effective Rainbow Bridge techniques.
This chapter covers the following concerning the pattern
removal process:
• Information received from Josephine and Norman through
personal communication and through their books, Rainbow
Bridge I and Rainbow Bridge II.

• My personal observations during 25 years of work with the


Rainbow Bridge techniques, working on my own and in
groups.

What Are Patterns?


Before outlining the process for removing patterns, let us
further explore what patterns are and how they are created. As
stated previously, patterns are thoughtforms that we have created,
either consciously or unconsciously. Patterns remain in our energy
field because we did not manifest our thoughts through an act of
will, for whatever reason. Patterns are actual structures, visible on
subtle levels, which contain varying proportions of energy and
matter on the etheric, emotional, mental, and causal levels. The
kind and proportions of the energies and matter depend upon the
quality of the thoughtform and its location within the energy field.
For example, the patterns around the head tend to have more
mental energy, while patterns that are in lower areas around the
body tend to have more emotional and etheric energies. Some of
the idealized image patterns around and above the head, as well
as other areas, can even contain causal energies from the soul
level.
Except for the idealized images, which have a quality of
brightness, the patterns tend to be dark in color. Subtle
(nonphysical) material in the patterns gives them their structure.
Clearing the Energy Fields 83

As long as the patterns remain in our energy field, they block, in


some degree, our ability to project our energy out into the world.
They also block our ability to receive outside energies and
perceive the world accurately. Thus, patterns condition and limit
our interactions with the world and interfere with our well being
and spiritual progress.
In addition to patterns, the energy fields of most people
contain debris—loose, nonphysical material around the patterns.
This material is generally picked up from the environment and is a
nonphysical pollution that can be even more damaging than the
physical pollution we know so well. Debris can be removed by the
use of the spiritual vortex, described in Chapter 3— Building the
Bridge.

Pattern Creation
Most often, we create patterns unconsciously. When we are
born, we bring with us the seeds or tendencies of karma from
previous lifetimes. These seeds are called samskaras in the Raja
Yoga system of Patanjali. Samskaras remain latent until they are
activated by interaction with the environment. Environment, as
referred to here, includes everything that is not the soul, or
essential self; the external environment as well as the internal
environment of physical, energetic, emotional, and mental factors.
As we interact with our environment in the process of growing
up, we are subjected to many different kinds of energies, very
often in the form of words. When these external energies enter our
field of awareness, they can activate the samskaras from previous
lifetimes. In the process of activation, these samskaras combine
with etheric, emotional, mental, or causal energies to create
thoughtforms, or patterns.
These patterns can be removed by using a process similar to
that which created them in the first place. The word forms used in
84 Bridge to Superconsciousness

the pattern removal work, explained later in more detail, are


designed to gradually, safely, and systematically eliminate
patterns by using forms of speech that are similar to those which
created the patterns. In addition to being created by spoken words
exchanged with others in our external environment, patterns can
be created by various internal factors, such as subvocalizations.
For example, a pattern might be created by a parent saying to a
child, “you never do anything right.” To this statement, the child
might reply, either mentally or out loud, “But I am trying to do
my best.” Through this interaction of message and response, a
pattern or thoughtform can be created which contains the
selfimage pattern of not being good enough even though trying. If
created, this pattern is usually found around the area of the
shoulders where negative self-image patterns tend to collect. The
common expression, “I am carrying the weight of the world on my
shoulders,” expresses the prevalence of these types of patterns.
Since this process of pattern-creation goes on during the
growing-up period of a child, a clairvoyant would observe the
gradual filling of the energy field with many different patterns on
many different levels. By the time of adulthood, most people stand
encased in a solid structure of patterns, although as a child they
started out with a relatively clear energy field.
As adults, most of us are imprisoned to a greater or lesser
extent. Even though we may not see the bars of our prison, we
experience their effect as limited perception and freedom of action.
When a pattern is activated, the information contained within
it is projected into our energy field holographically, where it is
experienced with varying degrees of discomfort. A qualified
clairvoyant would be able to read the information contained in the
activated pattern and have a good idea of the circumstances that
helped create it.
If a thoughtform is created consciously and sent into
manifestation by an act of will, it leaves the energy field and
Clearing the Energy Fields 85

creates something in the world. The thoughtform has karmic


consequences, as all actions do, but the consequences are not
repeated as they potentially would be if the thoughtform
remained in the field and was activated time after time. An
example would be someone who is repeatedly being drawn into
abusive relationships by patterns of a low self-image.

通常,我们在无意识中创造模式。当我们出生时,我们带来了
前世业力的种子或倾向。这些种子在帕坦加利的拉贾瑜伽体系中被
称为桑卡拉斯。Samskaras 一直潜伏着,直到它们被与环境的交互
作用激活。环境,正如这里提到的,包括一切非灵魂的东西,或本
质的自我;外部环境以及身体、精力、情绪和心理因素的内部环境。

当我们在成长的过程中与环境互动时,我们会受到许多不同的
能量的影响,通常是以文字的形式。当这些外部能量进入我们觉知
领域时,它们可以激活前世的 samskaras。在激活的过程中,这些
samskaras 与以太、情感、心理或因果能量结合,创造思想形态或
模式。

这些模式可以通过使用与最初创建它们的过程类似的过程来删
除。在模式删除工作中使用的单词形式(稍后将进行更详细的解释)
旨在通过使用与创建模式的语音形式相似的语音形式,逐步、安全
地、系统地消除模式。除了通过在我们的外部环境中与他人交流的
口头语言来创造模式之外,模式还可以通过各种内部因素来创造,
比如默读。

例如,父母可能会对孩子说:“你从来没有做过正确的事情。”对
于这种说法,孩子可能会在心里或大声回答:“但我正在尽力。”通
过信息和响应的交互,可以创建一个模式或思想形式,其中包含了
即使尝试也不够好的自定义模式。如果被创造出来,这种模式通常
会出现在肩膀周围消极的自我形象模式倾向于聚集的地方。“我肩
上扛着这个世界的重担”这一常见表达了这种模式的流行。

由于这种模式创造的过程是在儿童的成长时期进行的,透视者
会观察到能量场在许多不同层次上以许多不同的模式逐渐填充。到
86 Bridge to Superconsciousness

成年的时候,大多数人站在一个固定的模式结构中,尽管在孩子的
时候他们开始有一个相对清晰的能量场。

作为成年人,我们中的大多数人或多或少会被囚禁。尽管我们
可能看不到监狱的栅栏,但我们也会体验到它们的影响,即有限的
感知和行动自由。

当一个模式被激活时,其中包含的信息将以全息的方式投射到
我们的能量场中,在那里它将以不同程度的不适被体验。一个合格
的透视者将能够读取激活模式中包含的信息,并对帮助创建该模式
的环境有一个很好的了解。

如果一个思想形态被有意识地创造出来,并通过意志的行为被
发送到显化中,它就离开能量场,在世界上创造一些东西。思想形
态有业力后果,就像所有的行为一样,但是如果思想形态在能量场
中保持并不断被激活,其后果就不会像潜在的那样被重复。举个例
子,一个人不断地被低自我形象的模式拖入虐待关系。

Activation of Patterns
Most of the time, patterns exist in a quiescent state and we are
not aware of them, except perhaps as a generalized feeling of
limitation. But if we encounter a situation similar to the one in
which the pattern was created, either internal or external, the
pattern can become activated and expand out into the field where
it is experienced most often as a negative and limiting presence.
Some higher idealized image patterns are experienced as positive
when they are activated, but they are the exception. Even these
idealized images limit our ability to achieve superconscious
realization because they are only images of a greater reality, and
not that greater reality itself.
To see how a pattern can be activated, we can use the previous
example. In the past, let’s say we have created a negative
selfimage pattern expressed by the statements, “you never do
anything right” (parent) “but I am trying my best” (child). This
Clearing the Energy Fields 87

pattern encodes the image and experience of one who is trying his
or her best but is evaluated by the parents as being incompetent.
In the present, let’s say someone says something to us which is
similar to the parent’s statement, “you never do anything right,”
such as “you didn’t handle that job in the right way.” Under these
circumstances, a negative self-image pattern can activate and
expand into our field. We experience the same feelings of a
negative self-image we felt as a child when our parents put us
down. We might even be surprised by the extent of our reaction,
which often is out of proportion to the actual statement. After a
while, the pattern returns to its quiescent state and we feel OK
again, until the next similar incident happens.
From this one example, we can see the benefits of removing
patterns, and how they limit our sense of well being and hamper
effective living.
Unless we were born spiritually liberated with no karmic
tendencies whatsoever, or grew up with perfect parents who were
clairvoyant and knew the effect of everything they said to us so
that they could avoid any pattern-creating statements (we could
add the additional qualification that they be spiritually liberated
themselves), we need some method for removing patterns in order
to free ourselves from their limiting effects. After having cleared
ourselves of patterns, we are less likely to contribute to the
creation of patterns in our own children if we are, or decide to
become, parents.

大多数时候,模式存在于静止的状态中,我们没有意识到它们 ,
除了可能是一种普遍的限制感。但是,如果我们遇到与模式创建时
类似的情况,无论是内部的还是外部的,模式都可以被激活,并扩
展到最常被体验为消极和有限存在的领域。一些更高的理想化图像
模式在被激活时被认为是积极的,但它们是例外。甚至这些理想化
88 Bridge to Superconsciousness

的图像也限制了我们实现超意识实现的能力,因为它们只是更大现
实的图像,而不是更大现实本身。

要查看如何激活模式,我们可以使用前面的示例。在过去,假
设我们已经创建了一个消极的自定义模式,用“你从来没有做过正
确的事情”(家长)“但是我正在尽我最大的努力”(孩子)来表达。这
种模式将一个人的形象和经历编码为一个竭尽全力却被父母评价为
无能的人。在现在,假设有人对我们说了一些类似于父母的话,
“你从来没有做过正确的事情”,比如“你没有以正确的方式处理
那份工作”。“在这种情况下,消极的自我形象模式可以激活并扩
展到我们的领域。当我们的父母让我们失望的时候,我们会有和小
时候一样的消极的自我形象。我们甚至可能对自己的反应程度感到
惊讶,这种反应往往与实际情况不相称。过了一段时间,模式又回
到了静止状态,我们又感觉很好了,直到下一次类似的事件发生。

从这个例子中,我们可以看到消除模式的好处,以及它们如何
限制我们的幸福感并阻碍有效生活。

除非我们出生与没有任何业力倾向精神解放,或与完美的父母长
大的透视,知道他们对我们说的一切 ,这样的效果可以避免任何
pattern-creating 语句(我们可以添加额外的资格,他们是精神上解放
自己),我们需要一些方法来消除模式为了摆脱限制的影响。在清除
了自己的模式之后,如果我们是或决定成为父母,我们就不太可能
在自己孩子身上创造模式。

Effects of Patterns
In addition to the unpleasant psychological states they create,
our patterns have another negative aspect: they tend to draw us to
Clearing the Energy Fields 89

people and situations that relate to the content of the patterns. For
example, if we have negative self-image patterns, we might find
ourselves continually drawn to situations in which we are put
down. Given enough life experience, we may learn to develop a
positive self-image and free ourselves from negative self-image
patterns, but the process can be time-consuming and unpleasant.
Because of this magnetizing quality of the patterns, it is likely that
much negative life experience will have to be worked through
unless the patterns can be eliminated ahead of time.
There is some support for the reality of pattern (samskara)
removal in the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, with a translation and
commentary by I. K. Taimni in his book, The Science of Yoga.
Patanjali states that the energy of a higher state of consciousness
(samadhi) “cooks” the samskaras (patterns), and permanently
eliminates them, which leads to final spiritual liberation.
Once a pattern is removed, we no longer need to be drawn
karmically to people and situations related to that pattern. If we
can eliminate enough patterns, we can change the direction of our
life and save much pattern-generated suffering and many
unpleasant experiences. Such pattern elimination can even save us
many lifetimes of karmic experiences, thus significantly hastening
our spiritual development towards eventual liberation from the
cycle of reincarnation.
It is much quicker and more efficient to remove the cause of a
possible negative experience, thus avoiding it, than it is to go
through the experience itself to learn the necessary lessons. For
someone who wants to work out a significant amount of karma in
a short period of time, the Rainbow Bridge clearing process can be
a good approach. The amount of karma that can be worked out is
an individual matter, but Norman and Josephine made
statements, based on information they had received, that it could
amount to the karma of several lifetimes.
90 Bridge to Superconsciousness

除了他们造成的不愉快的心理状态,我们的模式还有另一个消
极的方面:他们倾向于把我们吸引到与模式内容相关的人和环境中。
例如,如果我们有消极的自我形象模式,我们可能会发现自己不断
地被那些令我们沮丧的情况所吸引。如果有足够的生活经验,我们
可能会学会建立一个积极的自我形象,并从消极的自我形象模式中
解放自己,但这个过程可能是耗时的和不愉快的。由于模式的磁化
质量,很可能许多负面的生活经验将不得不通过工作,除非模式可
以提前消除。

在帕坦伽利的瑜伽经典中,有一些对移去模式(samskara)的真实
性的支持,这是由 I. K. Taimni 在他的书《瑜伽的科学》中翻译和
评论的。帕坦伽利说,更高意识状态(三昧)的能量“烹饪”了三昧
(模式),并永久地消除了它们,这导致了最终的灵性解放。

一旦一个模式被移除,我们就不需要再被以 karmically 的方式


绘制到与该模式相关的人和情况中去。如果我们能消除足够多的模
式,我们就能改变我们的生活方向,并拯救许多模式产生的痛苦和
许多不愉快的经历。这种模式的消除甚至可以拯救我们许多生命的
业力体验,从而显著加速我们的精神发展,最终从轮回的循环中解
放出来。

消除可能产生消极体验的原因,从而避免消极体验,比通过体
验本身来吸取必要的教训要快得多,效率也高得多。对于那些想在
短时间内完成大量业力的人来说,彩虹桥清理过程是一个很好的方
法 。 可 以 计 算 出 的 业 力 数 量 是 个 人 问 题 , 但 是 Norman 和
Josephine 根据他们所收到的信息声明,它可以等同于几世的业力。

Pattern Locations
The patterns are generally distributed in five zones which
relate to the contents of the patterns. They are located:
• Above the head and down as far as the neck. These are
idealized thoughtforms that relate to the mind. They are the
patterns of the good, the true, and the beautiful, in concrete
form. They are often in a form which should have been
outgrown and thus stand as a barrier to further progress.

• About the neck and upper back. These patterns pertain to both
negative and positive ideas and feelings about personal worth.
They are primarily emotional in nature.

• Around the midsection of the body. These patterns relate to


the emotional nature and can involve blatantly negative
emotions such as hate, fear, anger, and selfishness, or
misdirected emotions such as interfering helpfulness,
possessive love, or martyring self-sacrifice.

• Those gathered in the lower torso area and about the hips and
lower back. They relate to the instincts of the energetic and
physical bodies such as self-preservation, herding, sex,
indiscriminate curiosity, self-assertion, the sense of possession,
and the belief that one is isolated from others.

• Those clustering around the feet. These patterns relate to


conditions one wants to get away from and cannot. They
inhibit action and motion on the physical plane.

• 模式通常分布在与模式内容相关的五个区域中。他们
都位于:


92 Bridge to Superconsciousness

• •从头顶到颈部。这些是与心灵相关的理想化的思想形
式。它们是美好、真实、美丽的具体形式。它们往往以一种本
应已过时的形式存在,因而成为进一步发展的障碍。

• •关于颈部和上背部。这些模式既适用于消极的想法,
也适用于积极的想法和个人价值的感受。他们本质上是情绪化
的。

• •围绕身体中部。这些模式与情感的本质有关,可能包
括明显的负面情绪,如仇恨、恐惧、愤怒和自私,或误导的情
绪,如干预的帮助、占有的爱,或牺牲自我牺牲。

• •那些聚集在躯干下部,臀部和背部下部的人。它们与
能量和身体的本能有关,如自我保存、放牧、性、不加区别的
好奇心、自我主张、占有感以及相信一个人与别人是孤立的。

• •那些聚集在脚周围的。这些模式与一个人想要摆脱却无法摆脱
的条件有关。它们抑制物理平面上的动作和运动。

Patterns and Purification


Most teachers of spiritual development stress purification,
either through the development of character or through various
Clearing the Energy Fields 93

physical practices such as vegetarianism, celibacy, fasting and


prayer, external and internal physical cleanliness, the observation
of rules, and so on. These practices all have various degrees of
value, from character development, which is the essential and
necessary foundation for all spiritual practices, to celibacy, which
is of questionable value for most modern spiritual seekers. Some
of these practices can still be very relevant to those who have not
gained control over their physical, emotional, and mental natures,
or under special conditions, such as strict vegetarianism in order
to be able to read the akashic records, or the redirection of the
sexual energy in order to bring about certain alchemical
transformations within the physical body.
However, we must undergo a deeper and more fundamental
purification in order to become a soul-infused personality: the
elimination of obstacles to soul fusion and the upgrading of the
quality of the bodies (physical, etheric, mental, and causal) to a
level of vibration where they can withstand intense soul energy
pouring through them.
The emergence of the soul is limited by the purity and
vibratory quality of the bodies through which it can express. This
deeper and more fundamental purification can be done with the
scientific use of energy in widening the central channel, removing
patterns that limit soul expression, and transforming the bodies by
permitting high-grade energies to flow through them in unselfish
activities.

大多数精神发展的教师都强调净化,无论是通过性格的发展,
还是通过各种身体实践,如素食主义、独身主义、禁食祈祷、内外
身体清洁、遵守规则等等。这些实践都有不同程度的价值,从品格
发展(这是所有精神实践的基本和必要基础)到禁欲(这对大多数现代
精神追求者来说价值值得怀疑)。这些实践仍然可以非常相关的那些

Pattern Removal Techniques


In the past, there were techniques to remove the patterns. But
because there were not as many advanced spiritual seekers in
incarnation as there are today, the number of people who could
actually do the work was small and they were taught in secluded
settings far from a spiritually inhospitable society. The instruction
was of a more private and personal nature. Now, at the present
time, there are large numbers—perhaps millions—of spiritual
seekers who can do the pattern removal work, so a different
approach is needed. Because of the lack of qualified teachers for
such a large number, it is necessary to distribute the teachings in a
book form and encourage students to form groups, learn together,
and help each other.
The techniques of channel building and pattern removal, as
presented in this book, were designed to be safe, effective, and
relatively easy to apply. Few of us have the luxury of spending
our lives apart from the world, far from the stresses and strains of
ordinary life, even if such seclusion were appropriate. For the
Clearing the Energy Fields 95

most part, spiritual work must be done in the midst of the world’s
activities.
When we live in a world of intense activity, we have to constantly
function on different levels of consciousness, and be able to shift
back and forth between levels with great facility, or even function
on numerous levels simultaneously. We have to find our center of
spiritual awareness in the world, with all of its activity. By
functioning in the world in this way, we can make rapid progress
by demonstrating a spiritual skillfulness against all obstacles.
Accomplishing our spiritual work in the world can be a greater
achievement than doing the work under self-chosen ideal
conditions and can lead to a correspondingly higher level of
spiritual development and power.
The spiritual seeker of today is of a higher order than those of
the past, and is aided in understanding by highly developed
modern languages which make possible the presentation of
spiritual concepts more clearly and effectively than in the past.
This efficacy of language, when combined with modern
communications systems, makes possible the wide dissemination
of spiritual truths. These truths, when widely communicated, can
then be applied by large numbers of seekers on an individual and
group basis. The recent development of the Internet and electronic
mail can only accelerate this process.

在过去,有一些技术可以删除模式。但是,由于没有像今天这
样多的高级精神追求者,实际上能够从事这项工作的人很少,而且
他们在远离精神上不友好的社会的偏僻环境中接受教育。这是一种
更为私人和个人化的教育。现在,在现在,有大量的——也许是上
百万的——精神寻求者可以做模式移除工作,所以需要一个不同的
方法。由于缺乏合格的教师,数量如此之多,有必要将教学内容以
书籍的形式分发,鼓励学生组成小组,共同学习,互相帮助。
96 Bridge to Superconsciousness

正如本书所介绍的,通道建立和模式去除的技术被设计成安全 、
有效和相对容易应用。我们中很少有人能奢侈地远离世界,远离日
常生活的压力和紧张,即使这样的隐居生活是适当的。在大多数情
况下,属灵的工作必须在世界的活动中完成。

当我们生活在一个充满激烈活动的世界里,我们必须不断地在
不同的意识层次上运作,并且能够在不同的层次之间自如地来回转
换,甚至在多个层次上同时运作。我们必须找到我们的精神意识的
中心,在世界上所有的活动。通过以这种方式在世界上运作,我们
可以通过展示一种克服一切障碍的精神技巧而快速进步。在这个世
界上完成我们的精神工作,比在自己选择的理想条件下完成工作,
是一项更大的成就,可以导致相应的更高水平的精神发展和力量。

今天的精神追寻者比过去的追寻者有更高的层次,并得到高度
发达的现代语言的帮助,这些语言使得精神概念的表达比过去更加
清晰有效。这种语言的效力,当与现代通讯系统相结合时,使精神
真理的广泛传播成为可能。当这些真理被广泛传播时,大量的探索
者可以在个人和群体的基础上应用这些真理。最近互联网和电子邮

PATTERN REMOVAL PROCESS


The process of pattern removal uses spoken phrases as carriers
for the energies of the soul. These energies then eliminate the
patterns. The words and word forms (outlined later) were chosen
because they were found by clairvoyant observation to be the most
useful in removing patterns and producing beneficial changes in
the energy field. In addition to being highly effective in activating
patterns, the word forms also limit the area of activation. Thus,
when used sequentially, the word forms remove the patterns
gradually and safely.
Their usefulness was determined by:
• The quickness and intensity of activation
Clearing the Energy Fields 97

• The energies and colors involved


• The reactions of the centers
• The nature of the nonphysical matter (debris) resulting from
the clearing process
• The images that appear in the energy field, indicating the life
situations, actions, or habits involved in the original creation
of the pattern
• The time required to activate and remove the pattern
• The soul energy available after the removal of the patterns
activated by the words and word forms
For maximum benefit, follow the techniques for pattern
removal exactly as outlined. These techniques have proven safe
and effective with many hundreds of people over a period of
approximately 40 years.
Before starting this work, you must be widening the central
channel from the earth star to the soul star for a week, keeping
your channel clear on a daily basis. This is described under item
4 on page 60.
1. Choose a word from those listed on page 97.

It is recommended that the first ten words on the list be used


first to develop skill and facility in the use of the pattern
removal (clearing) technique. Then words can be chosen from
the remaining words on the list, or additional words can be
chosen to overcome sensed limitations, work through
particular life issues, or build in positive qualities. Once a
word is chosen, it should be used systematically through all
the 64 word forms on pages 99 through 106. By so doing,
many different patterns, relating to the same basic theme, will
be eliminated in a gradual and safe way.
98 Bridge to Superconsciousness

Once one word has been used in all 64 forms, then go to the
next word on the list, or choose a word at random from the list
until all the words on the list have been used in the word
forms. The words in the list were chosen based on the
clairvoyant observation of their effects. These words are most
likely to remove the patterns in a complete and balanced way
within a broad population of spiritual seekers.

2. Say the soul mantram: “I am the soul, I am the light divine, I


am love, I am will, I am fixed design.”

3. Link in by sending lines of light from the soul star.

4. Clear the channel using the triangulation technique described


in Chapter 3—Building the Bridge.

5. Repeat the first word form for about seven to eight minutes, as
the soul. You can alternate, with one repetition aloud and one
silently. If you are working in a group, go around the group a
number of times with each person saying the phrase aloud
when their turn comes, while the others repeat the phrase
silently in unison.

It is important to make some of the repetitions out loud as this


increases their effectiveness. If pattern activation can be
sensed, try to conclude the word work when one pattern has
been eliminated and before another pattern becomes activated.
But try to keep the time as close to the seven to eight minutes
as possible, whether or not pattern activation is sensed.

The way pattern activation and removal is sometimes sensed is


an individual matter. Sometimes the process is sensed as a
pressure while the pattern is being activated and a sense of
release as the pattern is removed.

The method of using the word forms is as follows:


Clearing the Energy Fields 99

Let us say we choose the word “be,” with the appropriate


preposition (which we choose; in this example, “for”). The first
word form is: “I never desire to be anything for you, and I
always am everything for you.” This is the phrase that will be
repeated during the first session.

模式删除过程

图案移除的过程使用口语作为灵魂能量的载体。这些能量然后
消除了模式。单词和单词形式(稍后概述)之所以被选择,是因为

方面最有用。除了在激活模式方面非常有效,单词形式也限制
了激活区域。因此,当按顺序使用时,单词形式会逐渐安全地
删除这些模式。

它们的用处是:

•激活的速度和强度

•所涉及的能量和颜色

•中心的反应

•清理过程中产生的非物理物质(碎片)的性质

•在能量场中出现的图像,指示在模式最初创建时所涉及的生活
状况、行为或习惯
100 Bridge to Superconsciousness

•激活和删除模式所需的时间

•去除单词和单词形式激活的模式后可用的灵魂能量

为了获得最大的利益,请遵循完全按照概述的模式删除技术。
在大约 40 年的时间里,这些技术已经被证明是安全有效的,有
数百人使用。

在开始这项工作之前,你必须将中央频道从“地球之星”扩大
到“灵魂之星”一星期,每天保持你的频道畅通。这是在第 60
页第 4 项下描述的。

1。从 97 页列出的单词中选择一个单词。

建议首先使用列表上的前 10 个单词来提高使用模式清除(清除)
技术的技能和能力。然后,可以从列表中剩下的单词中选择单
词,或者选择额外的单词来克服感觉上的限制,解决特定的生
活问题,或者建立积极的品质。一旦选择了一个单词,就应该
系统地在 99 页到 106 页的所有 64 个单词形式中使用。通过这样
做,许多与同一基本主题有关的不同模式将以渐进和安全的方
式被消除。

一旦一个单词在所有 64 种形式中都被使用,那么就转到列表中
的下一个单词,或者从列表中随机选择一个单词,直到列表中
的所有单词都在这个单词形式中使用。名单上的单词是根据千
里眼观察结果选出的。这些词语最有可能以一种完整而平衡的
方式在广大的精神寻求者群体中移除这些模式。

志,我是固定的设计。”

3.通过发送灵魂之星的光线来连接。

4 所示。使用第三章中描述的三角测量技术清除通道。

5。重复第一个单词的形式,大约七到八分钟,作为灵魂。你可
以交替进行,一次大声重复,一次无声重复。如果你在一个小
组里工作,在小组里走几圈,每个人在轮到他们的时候大声地
说这个短语,而其他的人则一起默默地重复这个短语。

重要的是要大声重复一些重复动作,因为这样可以提高效果。
如果可以感知到模式激活,那么试着在一个模式被消除或另一
个模式被激活之前总结工作这个词。但是尽量保持时间接近 7
到 8 分钟,不管是否感知到模式激活。

模式激活和移除的方式有时是一个个体问题。有时,当模式被
激活时,这个过程被感觉为压力,当模式被移除时,释放的感
觉被消除。

词形的使用方法如下:

让我们说我们选择“be”这个词,用适当的介词(我们选择;在这
个示例中,“for”)。第一个词的形式是:“我从来不想为你做任
何事,我总是为你做一切。”这句话将在第一届会议上重复。
102 Bridge to Superconsciousness

After we have used the first word form, we then use the next word
form which is: “You never desire to be anything for me and you
always are everything for me.”

In this way, we go through the list of 64 word forms, placing the


word “be” with the appropriate preposition that we have chosen.
It is not necessary for the word form to make complete rational
sense, but try to consistently use a preposition which makes the
most overall sense. The word forms are only carriers for the soul
energy behind them and have no power, in and of themselves, to
remove the patterns.

We start with one word form per day, and can later work up to
two to four word forms per day, depending on sensed need and
the ability to do the work while maintaining a balance in daily life.
The clearing work is under the direction of the soul, so using more
word forms per day does not necessarily result in more rapid
progress. The process will automatically cease to work beyond the
point of safety.

Once the soul has determined that enough work has been done,
the pattern removal process ceases to be effective. In the absence of
clairvoyant feedback, the stopping point for the number of word
forms has to be determined by intuition and by objective
observation of the effect of the use of the word forms on daily life.

The pattern removal process occurs in this way:


As the word is repeated, energy from the soul level flows down
the central channel and out to a pattern chosen by the soul and
determined by the resonance between the word form and the
pattern (the personality is not involved in this process except to
cooperate with the soul).

The pattern then begins to activate. The energy usually flows


through the throat center and then to the activating pattern. The
throat center is related to the creative use of the spoken word and
Clearing the Energy Fields 103

is usually developed enough in most spiritual seekers to transmit


soul energy.

As stated previously, under ordinary life conditions, a pattern is


usually activated by a verbal statement from another person or by
internal mental statements. Once activated in these ways, the
pattern expands into the energy field where it remains for a time
before going back into its latent form. When the pattern is
expanded out into the field in this way, we usually experience the
activated pattern as unpleasant or disturbing in some way.

But when the pattern has been activated by using a word form as a
carrier of soul energy, in contrast to the normal activation process
in daily life, it appears to clairvoyant observation that the pattern
is expanding just as it would typically in daily life. Then, at a
certain point in using the energies of the soul, the pattern
suddenly disintegrates instead of continuing to expand. It
disintegrates because the activated pattern cannot contain the
intense energies of the soul. This disintegration releases the energy
and matter of the pattern and disperses them into the energy field.
The pattern is now permanently gone.

During the repetition of a word form, any number of patterns can


be activated and removed, but typically the number is between
one and five. The activation and removal of patterns can be
experienced as a pleasant sense of release and greater freedom if
there is sufficient sensitivity to experience the results of the pattern
removal process. But we might not experience anything at all;
faith in the effectiveness of the process may be necessary.

在我们用完第一个单词形式之后,我们再用下一个单词形式,那就
是:“你从来不想成为我的任何东西,你永远是我的一切。”

通过这种方式,我们浏览了 64 个单词形式的列表,将单词 be 与我
们选择的适当介词放在一起。这个词的形式不一定要有完全的理性
104 Bridge to Superconsciousness

意义,但要始终如一地使用最全面意义的介词。单词形式只是它们
背后的灵魂能量的载体,本身并没有能力移除模式。

我们从每天一个单词的形式开始,之后可以每天工作两到四个单词
的形式,这取决于感觉的需要和在日常生活中保持平衡的工作能力。
清理工作是在灵魂的指导下进行的,所以每天使用更多的单词形式
并不一定会导致更快的进展。该过程将自动停止工作超出安全点。

一旦灵魂确定已经做了足够的工作,模式移除过程就不再有效。在
没有千里眼反馈的情况下,词形数量的停止点必须由对词形使用对
日常生活的影响的直觉和客观观察来决定。

去除图案的过程是这样的:

当这个词被重复时,灵魂层面的能量从中央通道流向外,流向一个
由灵魂选择的模式,由字的形式和模式之间的共鸣所决定的模式(人
格不参与这个过程,除非与灵魂合作)。

然后模式开始激活。能量通常流经喉部中心,然后到达激活模式。
喉咙中心与口语的创造性使用有关,通常在大多数精神寻求者中发
展到足以传递灵魂能量。

如前所述,在一般生活条件下,一个模式通常是由另一个人的口头
陈述或内心的心理陈述激活的。一旦以这些方式被激活,模式就会
扩展到能量场,在那里它会停留一段时间,然后回到它的潜伏形态。
当模式以这种方式扩展到领域时,我们通常会体验到激活模式在某
种程度上是不愉快或令人不安的。

但是当这个模式通过使用一个单词形式作为灵魂能量的载体而被激
活时,与日常生活中正常的激活过程相反,它似乎通过透视观察发
Clearing the Energy Fields 105

现,这个模式就像在日常生活中一样在扩张。然后,在使用灵魂能
量的某一时刻,模式突然瓦解而不是继续扩展。它瓦解是因为激活
的模式不能包含灵魂的强大能量。这种分解释放模式的能量和物质,
并将它们分散到能量场中。这种模式现在已经永远消失了。

在单词形式的重复过程中,可以激活和删除任意数量的模式,但数
字通常在 1 到 5 之间。如果对模式删除过程的结果有足够的敏感性,
那么模式的激活和删除可以作为一种愉快的释放感和更大的自由度。
但我们可能什么都体验不到;相信这一过程的有效性可能是必要的。

6. After the seven to eight minutes of repeating the word form,


use the spiritual vortex for about eight to nine minutes to clear
the field of the matter released by the pattern removal process.
Always use the vortex slightly longer than the repetition of the
word form, to make sure that all the nonphysical matter
(debris) has been removed from the field and sent down into
the earth. The vortex, under soul control, removes all
unwanted material and energy generated by the pattern
disintegration, leaving only useful high-grade energies and
matter behind.

Over time, these high-grade energies and matter will be used


to build up and improve the physical, energetic, emotional,
mental, and causal bodies.

7. Say The Great Invocation as a service to humanity and as a


way to further sweep the energy field clear of unwanted
material.

The process of using the spoken word to remove the patterns


can be explained by a musical analogy. Let us say middle C on the
piano represents the sound vibration which initiated the creation
of a given pattern. Then assume the C above middle C represents
the energy that is brought in from the soul level by saying the
word form. Middle C, and the C above middle C, are harmonically
106 Bridge to Superconsciousness

related. If we play the higher C on a piano and listen carefully, we


will find that the string of middle C begins to vibrate, although
very faintly. The C above middle C has a higher vibration than
middle C, and actually carries more energy.
In a similar way, the energy coming from the soul is
harmonically related to the energy locked within the pattern,
although it is of a higher frequency and thus carries more energy.
The pattern, created at a lower level of energy, cannot contain the
more intense energies of the soul, and thus breaks apart.
To get results, it is not necessary to understand why this
process works, but the explanation may be useful for those who
are more technically oriented and have a need to know why
something works. It is not even necessary to believe that the
process will work in order to obtain results, a fact which has been
empirically verified by repeated clairvoyant observation.
The saying of the word form provides a conduit along which
the higher soul energy can flow. We could say that an energy
transmission line is created by saying the word form, over which
the “electricity” of the soul can then flow to remove the pattern.
Often a similar phenomena occurs during inspired speaking when
the actual physical words and ideas transmitted become a carrier
of a superior spiritual energy which then impacts the audience far
more intensely than the energy of the words and ideas would
alone.
While working with her students, Josephine would do a
diagram of each student’s field at the start of the work and then
periodically update the drawing and show where the patterns
were dissipating. I have seen a number of these drawings, and
they illustrate clearly the effectiveness of the pattern removal
process. Norman and Josephine’s book, Rainbow Bridge II, contains
a series of these drawings.
I don’t claim to be a clairvoyant myself, but I believe I have
some degree of sensitivity. In working with hundreds of people
Clearing the Energy Fields 107

over the years, my sense is that the process works as I have


described it, and as it was communicated to me by Norman and
Josephine. They based their conclusions on more than 30 years of
clairvoyant observation with hundreds of students, often with
rigorous written documentation.
In my 35 years or so of spiritual study, I have found the
Philosophy of Individual Life, communicated by John Richardson
and Florence Huntley, and the Rainbow Bridge process, as
developed by Norman and Josephine Stevens, to be among the
few approaches built on such an explicit and rigorous scientific
foundation. Using the processes of pattern removal consistently,
we can:
• Eliminate the patterns from our energy field
• Release the beneficial energies contained within the patterns •
Use these beneficial energies to fulfill our soul purpose
After many years of this work, we can eliminate enough
patterns so that we can express soul purpose more clearly and
interact with our environment more effectively. As we clear
ourselves of patterns, we contribute to the clearing of the planet.

6。在七到八分钟的重复单词形式之后,用大约八到九分钟的精
神漩涡来清除由模式移除过程释放的物质场。始终使用漩涡略长于
重复单词形式,以确保所有非物理物质(碎片)已被从场中移走,并
送至地球。在灵魂的控制下,漩涡移除所有因模式解体而产生的无
用物质和能量,只留下有用的高等级能量和物质。

随着时间的推移,这些高级的能量和物质将被用来建立和改善
身体,精力,情感,精神和因果身体。
108 Bridge to Superconsciousness

7 所示。说伟大的祈祷是对人类的一种服务,是进一步清除能量
场中无用物质的一种方式。

用口头语言来消除这些模式的过程可以用音乐类比来解释。让
我们说钢琴上的中间 C 代表声音振动,它开始创造一个给定的模式。
然后假设 C 在中间 C 代表通过说出单词形式从灵魂层面带来的能量。
中间 C,和中间 C 上的 C,是和谐相关的。如果我们在钢琴上弹奏
更高的 C,仔细听,我们会发现中间 C 的弦开始振动,尽管很微弱。
中间 C 上面的 C 比中间 C 有更高的振动,实际上携带更多的能量。

以类似的方式,来自灵魂的能量与模式中锁定的能量和谐相关 ,
尽管它频率更高,因而携带更多的能量。在较低能量水平上创造的
模式,不能包含更强烈的灵魂能量,因而分裂。

为了得到结果,没有必要去理解为什么这个过程是有效的,但
是对于那些更注重技术,并且需要知道为什么某件事情是有效的人
来说,这个解释可能是有用的。甚至没有必要相信这个过程会起作
用以获得结果,这一事实已经被反复的透视观察所证实。

形态这个词的说法提供了一个管道,让更高的灵魂能量可以沿
着它流动。我们可以说,能量传输线是通过说出“形式”这个词来
创造的,然后灵魂的“电”就可以通过这个词流动来消除这种模式。
通常在受启发的演讲中也会出现类似的现象,当实际的肢体语言和
思想传递成为一种高级精神能量的载体时,它对观众的影响要比语
言和思想本身的能量大得多。

在与学生一起工作时,约瑟芬会在工作开始时绘制每个学生领

一些这样的图纸,它们清楚地说明了去除图案过程的有效性。诺曼

我自己并没有说自己是透视者,但我相信我有一定的敏感度。
多年来,在与数百人的合作中,我的感觉是,这个过程就像我描述
的那样有效,就像诺曼和约瑟芬告诉我的那样。他们的结论是基于
30 多年来对数百名学生进行的千里眼观察得出的,这些学生通常都

在我 35 年左右的精神研究中,我发现个人生活的哲学,约翰·理查

斯,跻身于少数方法建立在这样一个明确的和严格的科学基础。使用
一致的模式删除过程,我们可以:

•消除能源领域的模式

•释放模式中包含的有益能量•使用这些有益的能量来实现我们
的灵魂目标

经过多年的工作,我们可以消除足够多的模式,以便我们可以
更清楚地表达灵魂目的,更有效地与我们的环境互动。当我们清理
自己的模式时,我们为清理地球做出了贡献。

always integrate everything for you.”

As mentioned before, the statements should be used


sequentially, and you must have reached the stage where you are
widening the channel on a daily basis from the earth star to the
soul star, as outlined in item 4 on page 60 in Chapter 3— Building

By using the process of pattern activation and systematically
working through the word forms, we can gradually eliminate the
patterns from our energy field, releasing the good in the patterns
which we can then use to further our own evolution and enable
ourselves to live and act more effectively.

The Relation of Word Forms


to Patterns
Each of the words within the word forms relates to different
aspects of the pattern removal process. The verbs, such as do, be,
and have, relate to the general theme of the pattern and are the
primary carrier of soul energy. The prepositions, such as to, for,
and about, give a subtle shading to the word forms and narrow
the focus of the pattern removal process.
118 Bridge to Superconsciousness

The pronouns I, you, and myself, recreate the relationships


that originally generated the pattern. I relates to the sense of self
on the personality level, and to all we identify with. It will vary
greatly from person to person. You relates to everything that is
considered the not-self, primarily things in the external world
experienced as distinct from the I. Myself refers to the soul, or
higher self. The word forms are set up to create certain
relationship dynamics which resonate with the patterns and thus
activate and eliminate them.
Some of the idealized image patterns are created by the
interaction between the soul (myself) and the personality (I), or
the soul (myself) and the environment (you). Most often these
idealized image patterns are located around the head. When these
patterns are broken down, they release high-grade causal energies
into the aura. These energies, which are often quite beautiful, then
become available to the soul through its primary body of
expression, the causal body.
The word forms contain two points of interaction created by
the pronouns I, you, and myself in various combinations. These
two points of interaction then create the third point, which is the
pattern itself. For example, in the two joined phrases “I always
desire to do everything for you, and I never do anything for you,”
the two points of interaction are the I, that with which we identify,
and the you, that which is the not-self. These two points of
interaction then create the form, or pattern. The generation of a
third factor from the interaction of two antecedent factors is a
universal principle which applies throughout nature. This
interaction/creation process is represented by the triads of Father,
Son, and Holy Ghost of the Christian tradition, or by Brahma,
Vishnu, and Shiva in the Hindu tradition.
We can use word forms to remove patterns because word
forms contain the same type of interaction dynamics that created
the patterns in the first place. This similarity of interaction
Clearing the Energy Fields 119

dynamics between the words forms and the patterns is necessary


because we are using the principle of harmonic resonance to
remove the patterns. Without this similarity, the word forms
would never activate the patterns in the first place and therefore
would not be effective in removing them.

Pattern Removal Conditions


We can remove patterns under almost any conditions that
enable us to concentrate sufficiently. It is not necessary to assume
any specific meditation posture, although a comfortable position
might be helpful. Many people are quite busy and remove
patterns while engaging in activities that do not require mental
concentration for safety, such as while doing the dishes, working
in the yard, and so on. Being able to do two or more things
simultaneously, yet efficiently, is a valuable ability that can help us
to make faster spiritual progress by utilizing our time to the
fullest.
我们几乎可以在任何条件下消除模式,使我们能够充分集中精
力。没有必要采取任何特定的冥想姿势,尽管一个舒适的姿势可能
会有帮助。很多人在从事一些不需要集中精力以确保安全的活动时,
比如洗碗、在院子里工作等等,都很忙,而且会去掉一些模式。能
够同时做两件或两件以上的事情,而且效率高,是一种宝贵的能力,
可以帮助我们通过充分利用我们的时间,更快地获得精神上的进步。

Positive Energies
All of the words used in the word forms are activity related,
either acting, desiring, or being. They are positive words that we
can use to build positive energies into the energy field, in addition
to removing patterns. The double positive phrases, such as “I
always desire to do everything for you, and I always do
everything for you,” are especially valuable for building in
positive energies. When repeated, the double positive word forms
bring about an immediate downpouring of positive soul energy
120 Bridge to Superconsciousness

into the energy field. Conversely, the double negative phrases,


such as “I never desire to do anything for you and you never do
anything for me,” tend to activate and remove more patterns.

单词形式中使用的所有单词都是与活动相关的,要么是行为,
要么是欲望,要么是存在。它们是积极的词汇,我们可以用来在能
量场中建立正能量,除了去除模式。双重积极的短语,如“我总是
渴望为你做一切,我总是为你做一切”,对于建立正能量特别有价
值。当重复的时候,双重积极的词形式会立即将积极的灵魂能量注
入能量场。相反,双重否定的短语,如“我从来不想为你做任何事,
你也从来没有为我做过任何事”,往往会激活和删除更多的模式。

External and Internal Patterns


The first phase of the clearing work generally removes the
external patterns (those outside the physical body) first, beginning
with the patterns farthest from the physical body and moving in
towards the boundary of the physical body. If the process is
continued after the external patterns are removed, the clearing
work can eliminate patterns inside the physical body. A technique
has been developed to remove these internal patterns more
quickly, but it cannot be used safely until one has completely
removed the external patterns.
In general, the more we move in towards the center of the
body, the more resistant the patterns become. At the level of the
internal patterns, we are for the most part removing patterns that
were created in other lifetimes. They are related more to the
genetic, cellular, and karmic structure of the body.
We might speculate concerning what would happen if the clearing
process were continued after all the internal patterns were
removed. Are there perhaps patterns related to the atomic level of
the body? Would the removal of these patterns change the atoms
in the body into radiant atoms? (For an explanation of radiant
atoms, see Chapter 6—Raising the Level of Consciousness.)
Clearing the Energy Fields 121

清理工作的第一阶段通常首先移除外部模式(物理身体之外的模式)
从离物理身体最远的模式开始,向物理身体的边界移动。如果在移
除外部模式之后继续这个过程,清理工作可以消除物理身体内部的
模式。已经开发了一种技术来更快地删除这些内部模式,但是在完
全删除外部模式之前,它不能安全地使用。

一般来说,我们越靠近身体的中心,图案就越具有抵抗力。在内部
模式的层次上,我们在很大程度上删除了在其他生命中创建的模式
它们更多地与身体的遗传、细胞和业力结构有关。

我们可以推测,如果在所有内部模式被移除后,清算过程继续进行
将会发生什么。是否存在与人体原子水平相关的模式?这些图案的去

Completing the Work 完成的


工作
The time to complete each phase of the Rainbow Bridge work,
such as the central channel widening and pattern removal, varies
individually, depending primarily on level of spiritual
development, the ability to concentrate and work with energies,
the cooperation of the soul, karmic factors, and life circumstances.
As stated earlier, it typically takes three to six months of
consistent daily work to widen the central channel to a diameter of
one inch. It typically takes two to four years of consistent daily
work to eliminate the external patterns.
As individuals work successfully with the Rainbow Bridge
processes, they are grounded in the thought field of the earth.

Such grounding, when combined with individual factors, makes


the work easier, quicker, and more effective. Norman and
Josephine found that, as the group expanded and the thoughtform
of the work was grounded in the energy field of the earth, the time
to complete Rainbow Bridge processes shortened. As the
vibrations of the planetary thought field are being upgraded,
constructive spiritual processes are becoming more effective.
It is helpful to work with another person while doing the
pattern removal work. There are a number of benefits. The
combination of energy fields increases the effectiveness of the
work, greater sensitivity can be developed by trying to observe the
process going on in the other’s energy field, and the combination
of the energy fields of two or more people produces a balancing
and stabilizing effect.
完成虹桥工作的每个阶段的时间,例如中央通道的拓宽和模式
的去除,都是因人而异的,主要取决于精神发展的水平、集中精力
和精力工作的能力、灵魂的合作、业力因素和生活环境。

如前所述,通常需要三到六个月的日常工作,才能将中央通道
拓宽到直径一英寸。通常需要两到四年的日常工作来消除外部模式。

当个人成功地工作在彩虹桥过程中,他们根植于地球的思想领
域。这样的基础,当与个人因素结合时,使工作更容易,更快,更
有效。Norman 和 Josephine 发现,随着团队的扩大,工作的思想
形式基于地球的能量场,完成彩虹桥过程的时间缩短了。当行星思
想能量场的振动被提升时,建设性的精神过程变得更加有效。

在进行模式删除工作时,与另一个人一起工作是很有帮助的。
有很多好处。能量场的组合提高了工作的效率,通过观察对方能量
场的过程可以开发出更高的灵敏度,两个或两个以上人的能量场的
组合可以产生平衡和稳定的效果。

Patterns as an Asset
The patterns are in one respect a liability, yet they store large
amounts of useful energy and material. When we remove the
Clearing the Energy Fields 123

patterns using soul energy, we liberate their high-grade energy


and matter and retain this in our energy field. Using the spiritual
vortex, we sweep out material we cannot use, sending it down
into the earth where it feeds the elemental lives (primitive forms of
life that work with earth energies). So nothing is wasted in the
process of pattern removal. Thus the patterns represent a
substantial storehouse of useful energies and matter waiting to be
utilized. Viewed in this positive, yet realistic way, the patterns can
be seen as a potential asset rather than a liability.

这些模式在一方面是一种负担,但它们储存了大量有用的能量
和材料。当我们使用灵魂能量移除模式时,我们释放了他们高等级
的能量和物质,并将其保留在我们的能量场中。使用灵性漩涡,我
们扫去我们不能使用的物质,将其送进地球,在那里它滋养了元素
生命(与地球能量一起工作的原始生命形式)。所以在去除图案的过
程中没有浪费。因此,这些模式代表了有用的能量和物质的大量仓
库,等待被利用。从这种积极而现实的角度来看,这些模式可以被
视为一种潜在资产,而不是负债。

Intelligent Energy
When we invoke the soul, there is an intelligence factor
involved that goes beyond what we are consciously capable of.
Just as when we cut our finger, the body heals itself without our
conscious involvement, so when we invoke soul energy we bring
in a principle of intelligence from a higher level which can bring
about effects transcending our conscious powers. The entire
process is constructive, and does not infringe upon our individual
self-conscious will in any way. We can know with scientific
certainty that the process works, even though we may not know
why it works.

当我们召唤灵魂时,就会有一种超越我们意识能力的智力因素 。
就像当我们割破手指的时候,身体会在没有我们的意识参与的情况
下自行痊愈,所以当我们调用灵魂能量的时候,我们会从更高的层
124 Bridge to Superconsciousness

次引入智慧的原则,它会带来超越我们意识能力的效果。整个过程
是建设性的,不会以任何方式侵犯我们个人的自觉意志。我们可以
从科学上肯定地知道这个过程是有效的,尽管我们可能不知道它为
什么有效。

Other Techniques Possible


Norman and Josephine never claimed that the Rainbow Bridge
processes were the only techniques effective in widening the
central channel or eliminating patterns. They were open to the
possibility that more effective techniques could be discovered in
the future. They hinted that other groups throughout the world
would probably be able to widen the central channel and remove
patterns using other techniques, if they had not already done so.
They recognized that they, in turn, were building on the work of
others in these areas.
Norman 和 Josephine 从未声称彩虹桥过程是唯一有效的拓宽中
央通道或消除模式的技术。他们对将来可能发现更有效的技术持开
放态度。他们暗示说,如果他们还没有这样做的话,世界各地的其
他组织可能会使用其他技术来拓宽中央渠道并移除模式。他们认识
到,反过来,他们是在这些领域的其他工作的基础上建立起来的。
