The Nine Insights

Feeling restless? You're not alone: Everybody's starting to lookfor more meaning in life. Start paying closer attention to thoseseemingly "Chance Coincidences" - strange occurrences that feellike they were meant to happen. They are actually synchronisticevents, and following them will start you on your path to spiritualtruth.

Observe our culture within its proper historical context. The firsthalf of the past millennium was spent under the thumb of thechurch; in the second half we became preoccupied with materialcomfort. Now, at the end of the twentieth century, we'veexhausted that preoccupation. We're ready to discover life'sultimate purpose.

Start to get acquainted with the subtle energy that infuses allthings. With practice, you can learn to see the aura around anyliving being and to project your own energy around it to give itstrength.

An unconscious competition for energy underlies all conflicts. Bydominating or manipulating others, we get the extra energy wethink we need. Sure, it feels good - but both parties are damagedin the conflict.

The key to overcoming conflict in the world is the mysticalexperience, which is available to everyone. To nurture themystical and build your energy, allow yourself to be filled with asense of love.

Childhood traumas block our ability to fully experience themystical. All humans, because of their upbringing, tend towardone of four control dramas:

o Intimidators steal energy from others by threat.o Interrogators steal it by judging and questioning.o Aloof people attract attention (and energy) to themselves

by playing coy.o Poor me's make us feel guilty and responsible for them.

Become aware of the family dynamics that created your controldrama and you can focus on your essential question, which ishow to make of your life a higher- level synthesis of your parents'lives.

Once cleared of traumas, you can build energy throughcontemplation and meditation, focus on you basic life question,and start riding a steady stream of intuitions, dreams, andsynchronistic coincidences, all guiding you in the direction of your own evolution and transformation.

That evolution can't be done alone, so begin to practice the new"Interpersonal Ethic" by uplifting those who cross your path. Talkto people who make spontaneous eye contact with you. Avoidco-dependent relationships. Be there for people. Call attention toother people's control dramas. In groups, speak when the spirit(instead of the ego) moves you.

Our purpose here is to evolve beyond this plane. Fewer people (aresult of reproductive abstinence) and more old-growth forestswill help us to sustain our energy and accelerate our evolution.

Technology will do most of our work for us. As we begin to valuespiritual insight more and more, we will pay those who bring it tous, and this will eventually replace the market economy and ourneed for paid employment. We can connect to God's energy insuch a way that we will eventually become beings of light, andwalk straight into heaven.
