Revelation Yoga
Revelation
The divine or supernatural disclosure to humans of surprising and previously unknown facts relating to human existence, the world, and divinity itself.
Yoga
Yoga literally means “union”. The union can be understood on different levels: philosophically, as that of the relative, limited self with the absolute Self or I AM; religiously as that of the individual soul with the Holy Spirit; psychologically, as the integration of the personality – a state wherein a person is no longer at cross purposes with themselves; emotionally, as the stilling of the waves of likes and dislikes, permitting one to remain in all circumstances complete and whole within themselves.
By accessing and connecting with the precious human soul through meditation, I have consciously and intentionally developed Revelation Yoga to enable “union” philosophically, religiously, psychologically, and emotionally. Revelation Yoga is predicated on how the individual soul naturally shows up and functions in ordinary life and, consequently, reveals the relationship of the soul to the personality, other people, the world/ universe, and ultimately, divinity itself.
I am introducing you to the context and principles for the ascending and descending versions of Revelation Yoga. The original Revelation Yoga I have taught for many years is a form of ascending practice. After students are adequately established in the Chalice Heart soul meditation and participating in the ascending version, then I introduce them to the more advanced descending version of Revelation Yoga.
The goal of Revelation Yoga is to discover the divine, directive current (Holy Spirit) at the base of what is lived with respect to desires, thoughts, and sensations. In the ascending form of Revelation Yoga there is an expansion of consciousness from where you are to access the Holy Spirit with emphasis on the unfolding of desires, unfolding of thoughts, and unfolding of sensations. In the descending form of Revelation Yoga there is direct and immediate participation in the Holy Spirit until it is integrated in one’s life with an emphasis on the enfolding of desires, enfolding of thoughts, and enfolding sensations. Before we can participate in the directive current, we need to access it, and that is why I have taught the ascending version of Revelation Yoga prior to the descending version. In both versions of Revelation Yoga, the Holy Spirit should at least be sensed.
The ascending version of Revelation Yoga can be done with a teacher, a peer or by yourself. If you do the process yourself, it lends itself to journaling (recommended). If the practice is done authentically, it enables one to participate in the witnessing (psychic) and subtle levels of consciousness (transpersonal domains of spirituality) in a natural and easy way. By participating in Revelation Yoga, one spontaneously moves out of “thinking” awareness into “observing” awareness. By exercising and abiding in “observing” awareness, the subtle qualities of awareness and the Holy Spirit can spontaneously reveal themselves in the field of consciousness itself.
This 12-step program is not a mechanical process. After it is properly learned and integrated into your life, it becomes a way of life. You can spontaneously apply some or all the principles to whatever is happening in your life at any given time. Overall, the process enables one to have greater clarity, compassion, empowerment, and freedom in ordinary life circumstances.
