The Three Paths of Ascension
Through the many years of spiritual exploration and experience, and to a degree some of his students, Eureka Society Founder, Bruce K. Avenell, has discovered there are three main spiritual paths leading from the physical world and into the spiritual realms. We will briefly discuss them here.
In the School of Life there are three main categories of spiritual paths of ascension going up from life on a planet such as Earth, and each individual one may have supplemental variations of the basic path. The experience of life will teach us the laws of the path we are working on, if we but take the time to listen to what life is trying to teach us. Few listen, and thus many repeat life situations over and over, again and again. The first time a lesson is presented, it comes as easily as a gentle breeze. But if it is not heeded, succeeding presentations will be harder and harder until the being understands both the lesson and that creation is the ultimate judge of right and wrong action. Creation’s momentums moving through eternity will go on, seemingly with or without us, as we choose. Although it is creation’s intent that you learn life’s lessons, you may choose how long it takes and how strongly they must be presented in order to register. It is interesting how we fight life’s lessons, even though the life creation is intent upon giving us is far more wonderful and marvelous than our wildest dreams.
The Left Hand Path
The first path up inside is the path of law and order, right and wrong, correct behavior and discipline, and how to behave in a civilized society. This is one of the first things you must learn when you attain human level incarnation. We call this the Left Hand Path. On this path you learn about creation’s laws, and that you must live and abide by them. You learn to appreciate justice and fair play. At this stage of your spiritual development, self-discipline is very important, and you learn that the laws of this path are non-negotiable. You must live by and master them to expand into future growth progressions. This is a big obstacle for many, but consider the lessons of life. The greatest asset anyone can have in this world is to be self-disciplined. If you are self-disciplined, you can have anything in this world you wish. A positive meditation program requires a great deal of self-discipline.
There are no jails in the upper regions of life. The jail we make for ourselves in the physical world is sufficient. Thus, in time, one comes to appreciate law, order, fair play, and justice. It is good to identify injustice, so long as one understands creation itself is in charge of metering out justice. Governments tend to teach the laws of this path; right and wrong, injustice and justice. Creation has laws, and it is important you learn and understand creation’s laws. You may be able to justify your actions, but at this stage of your development creation will not listen. Hatha and Raja Yoga offer good progressions on this path. When you have developed a sufficient amount of good karma on this path you are ready for the next path of ascension.
The Middle Path
The second path is the path of philosophy and theology, which involves belief systems and religious practices. We call this the Middle Path. On this path you are usually involved with a faith religion in which a certain set of beliefs provide you with their set of progressions. Usually there is an intermediary such as a religious figurehead, savior, or possibly an embodied guru or master. Very often people get involved in other people’s progressions on this path, to the detriment of their own. Much of the progress here is mental, and yet no real substantial progress is made until one learns how to get free of the temporal mind. This path goes a long way up, along what might appear as a stairway in creation. For those who are observant and listen carefully, there is also an elevator. One is treated to great wonders in the upper regions, and in what one finds within their own being as one grows in relation to this path.
One of the main lessons of this path is we are all brothers and sisters, and we must learn to love one another with true heart love. You will meet those you love many times, and in many ways, but you must also learn to let go. Love is something you give, not something you get. Human emotions provide great pleasures on this path, but they are also the chains that bind one to these realms of emotional and mental illusion. Believing in something does not make it real. Reality is that which exists and requires no belief at all. Faith religion is for the most part the provider of progressions on this path. Or perhaps it is that which prevents progressions. You must find your own way out of this labyrinth of beliefs. If what you are doing spiritually requires you to believe a philosophy or faith, you are involved in a Middle Path progression. Bhakti Yoga encompasses the progressions offered here, as well as the faith religions of Christianity, Islam, and Judaism, as well as Buddhism and Hinduism, to name a few. There is much to say and learn and argue about in all of this, which is good mental exercise. But in the greater Cosmos, philosophies and theologies mean little if anything at all. Remember, believing supports conscious illusion. For the true believer the day will come when some event or circumstance will catapult their consciousness into a different reality.
Creation has many awakenings for the spiritual pilgrim. Some spiritual awakenings can be rude, some can be very uplifting. Some spiritual awakenings can catapult consciousness into a higher mental velocity and related life experiences. Spiritual progressions would be easier if one could let go of old beliefs when creation decides to offer one the prospects of new horizons. If consciousness can learn to let go of the mind and see with its own devices, new beginnings are much easier to comprehend. Letting go of the paradigms of one’s life is difficult to do, even when the new beginning has a much better future to offer the spiritual pilgrim. When you are ready to discover and develop your own true being, and become the master of your own life, you are ready for the next path of ascension.
The Right Hand Path
The third path is the path of individual ascent, the true path of ascension, the divine progression of the Creator. We call this path the Right Hand Path. On this path you must learn to get possession and control of your own being. You must also learn to leave behind the labyrinth of beliefs and attachments learned from the Middle Path. This path teaches you that you are the embryo of a divine being, but you must learn how to master the energies of the fire of life yourself. This path is also called the warrior’s path, because you must fight for your own spiritual being in order to progress on this path. While getting possession of one’s being is not very difficult, getting control of it is a much different situation. Again, discipline is the major key to the avenues of this path. You must learn to be yourself, not to play to the crowd; better to play to the man or lady in the mirror.
Within you is your divine child, and this part of your own being must be brought through life’s perils and darkness into the true light of life. There are progressions beyond any guru, master, or religious figurehead on this path, for this path can take one all the way to becoming a divine being in one’s own right. There is much to gain, to learn, to comprehend, but what one tends to see in one’s finite life is what there is to let go of. If you would be a bird, free to fly on the winds of time, free in the ongoing adventure of being, you must learn how to let go of the tree. On this path you learn that ‘all life is equal’ in potential, and that each and every one of us is unique and special.
In addition, to travel this path you must be center stage in your own life, so you can truly discover, realize, and live your divine heritage. Not self-centered and conceited, but understanding your energy is yours to do with as you as you see life’s circumstances, values, and opportunities. This is truly a path of practice, never one of devotion or belief. Many will claim to know the way, but the path is within your very own being. If you understand that practicing devotion to any other being is a very serious deterrent on this path, then Surat Shabda Yoga and Tantra Yoga offer good progressions here.
Yes, there are many temptations put out for the pilgrim on this path, but what could possibly be more valuable than the acquisition of divine life? For this path ultimately teaches you how to look all the Lords of Creation in the eye, not as an awed aspirant, but as a developed equal. You are the embryo of a Divine being. To live on that level of life, you must master the energies of that level of being. By mastering the fire of life, you can transcend the greater Cosmos and become a Divine being in your own right. You must learn to be a container of your own life energies. What you can contain of life’s energies you can take wherever you go. Containing the energy, light, and fire of life, you learn how to power your own consciousness, thus realizing life is eternal. Through spiritual energy management, you can graduate from the School of Life. There is a way home, and the door is open. Follow the song of life towards the light of life and the magic moments will lead you home. There is a way … to the Great Happiness beyond the One Light … and to your own personal eyeball to eyeball contact with the Great Master Creator of the Universe of Universes.
Audinometry
The Audinometry program that The Eureka Society teaches through its Elan Vital Academy is a Right Hand Path, which is a spiritual science, meditative system. It is a new bridge into the upper reaches of the Greater Cosmos. It is a bridge you build yourself, in yourself, for yourself. Yes, there is much before you to do, but it can all be done in this lifetime. We can help you, but you must do it yourself. Then it is yours, forever in and beyond this realm of being.
However, meditation is a term like automobile, tree, or airplane, in that it is a general term and not a specific term. “I have an automobile” indicates only that one has transportation. “I have a Buick Roadmaster” gives specific information about the automobile and even implies information about the owner. In that manner, Audinometry is a very specific type of term for meditation.
Basically, there are three types of meditation; Passive, Devotional, and Active. They all involve spiritual movement. If you should practice a form of passive meditation, spiritually you are getting on a bus and going where the bus goes. This may not be what you think you are doing, but life does not provide us with the rules of the game; only experience does that. If you practice a form of devotional meditation, you are spiritually hitchhiking and, in essence, riding in someone else’s car. There are many forms of devotional meditation, some of which may take you to a spiritual place you would like to be. But the ride is always expensive. Spiritually, just as physically, there is no free lunch. Whether you are spiritually riding the bus or hitchhiking, you are paying for the trip. While you may or may not be paying physical world money for the trip, you are very definitely paying spiritual world money.
Active meditation generates more spiritual wealth than any other type of meditation. Active meditation allows one to keep much more of the spiritual wealth one generates than any other type. Active meditation allows one to ride in one’s OWN vehicle, which is much less expensive. Your efforts produce much more spiritual wealth and, the trip costs a great deal less.
Audinometry is a form of active meditation that goes beyond classic meditation. If all you want is a better physical world life, practicing Audinometry can make this possible. It can show you how to generate the spiritual wealth necessary to purchase the opportunities that make a better physical world life possible. Audinometry can show you how to generate spiritual wealth and how to hang on to it, so that not only do you get the benefit of it here in the physical world, but also the benefit of it in the high spirit realms when you return there. YES, IT IS POSSIBLE TO TAKE IT WITH YOU.
Audinometry is a path of disciplined practice, not an academic study. It is a mountain to climb, not an opinion or belief. It takes you to a real place. This practice does not fit within the confines or any religion, theology, or philosophy. We teach you a series of techniques based on spiritual science that will open the inner realms and help you understand the many regions of spiritual life above the Earth plane. Through a progression of lessons, one is brought ever closer to one’s own divine maturity, learning not the philosophies of life, but the mechanics of spiritual life and the divine progression. Learning not theories and theologies, but the practical mechanics of how to do it. This is basically what this program is all about. How To Do It.
Audinometry is meditation on the inner sound current, doing the related techniques that develop your spiritual sensibilities, managing the energy structures of your true being, and managing the energy of your life. Putting spirit level value in your spirit level bank account can bring you a quality existence in the here and now, and allows you to invest in a very bright future for yourself. Remember, LIFE is not just the physical body. Life is the quality of aliveness in the energy, velocity, and perception of your consciousness.
This program has a foundation, a platform, and a launch pad. It is ready and waiting for the person who wants the best possible spiritual growth on the planet today. Now that is a very strong statement to make, but we can say, assuredly, that if we knew of a better program, we would be doing it. It allows you to put gas in your gas tank, to turn on the lights, start the engine, and fly where you want.
We consider the Audinometry program within the Elan Vital Academy as the graduate school of sound current meditation. Think of it as getting a Doctorate degree in meditation. But that is not the whole truth. At the beginning we present it as if it is only about meditation, but in reality this program is beyond meditation. Meditation is the entry point, but the real secret of Audinometry is that it is the next series of steps beyond where meditation could ever take you.
There is much to learn, to experience, to comprehend, and to grow within this program and within yourself. Be good to yourself and allow yourself to spiritually breathe as you take all this in and become more tomorrow than who you are today.
