The Rite of Divine Relationship

This  first  Rite  of  Passage  is  designed  to  set  the  stage  as  we  establish  clarity  of  vision  in  the  full  accomplishment  of  our  goal.  

The  goal  is...  living  in  total  freedom  as  Divine  Presence.  This  is  the  state  of  realizing  the  truth  of  one   existence   and   consciously   embodying   this   one   consciousness   and   its   purpose   as   your  greatest  human  potential.

As  the  foundation  to  the  entire  Rites  of  Passage,  this  initiation  centers  upon  the  establishment  of  our  most  significant  relationship,  that  which  we  share  with   the  Divine  Presence   in  tandem  with  the  greater  knowing  that  we  are  this  Presence.  

Blessed  is  the  one  who  falls  in  love  with  the  Divine,  because  what  is  loved  is  realized.

Loving  the  Divine  Presence

Our   initiation   is   to   maintain   unwavering   focus  solely   upon   the  Divine   Presence   as   the   center   point   through   which   every  thought  and  act  is  conceived.  

Through   this  devotion,  we  love  the  Self  and  we   love  all  others.  All   is  Divine   Presence.   In   this   realization,  our   fears,   doubts  and  limitations  begin  to  erase  from  our  life.  

When  we   are  one  and   in  constant  alignment  with   our  source  of   life,   then  we  can   accomplish  and  manifest  to  our  greatest  ability.  

Through  this  Rite  of  Passage,  we  allow  the  truth  of  Divine  Immanence  to  deeply  penetrate  our  understanding.  We  are  awakened  to  our  duty  and  privilege  to  be  devoted  to  the  divine  templed  within  our  own  Self,  and  in  all  other  beings.  

To   truly   know   the   divinity   inherent   within   us   is   the   greatest   blessing   that   we   can   give   to  ourselves  and  all  other  people  in  our  lives.

Everything  is  Divine  Presence  Many  of  us  have  built  a  limiting  perception  that  the  Divine  Presence  is  somewhere  to  be  found  outside  of  our  body  and  must  be  won  by  fervent  prayer  and  acceptance  of  religious  formalities.  

Through   this   initiation   of   Divine   Relationship,   we   are   beginning   to   know   ourselves   more  intimately  as  one  with  the  Divine  Presence.  

We   are   seeing   the   infinite   intelligence   immanent   in   all   of  nature   and   ever  unchanged  by  the  illusion  of  separation.  

We   are   dropping   any   illusion   that   we   have   to   become   something   first   in  order  to  know  ourselves  as  a  brilliant  being  of  magnificence.  

In   actuality,   we   have   and   always   will   be   Divine   Presence,   and   it   is   simply   a   matter   of  acceptance.  It   is  simply  a  matter  of  changing  our  perception  by  accepting   the  truth  of  who  we  really  are.  

In   this   Rite,   we   humbly   step   forth   and   go   directly   to   the   Divine   Presence   to   declare   with  absolute  conviction   and  without   any  fear  whatsoever   that   we  are  this  Presence,  that  we   are  merged  wholly  and  completely  with  our   infinite  Source.  In   full  humility,  we  are  acknowledging  that   we  are   this   love,   wisdom   and   understanding   that   is  experiencing   through   our  very  own  human  form.  

The  Law  of  Relationship  The  Universal  Law  of  Relationship  conveys  that  all  of  creation  is  an  integral   part   of   the   “All   That   Is”,   the   infinitely   expansive   life-­‐pervading  Presence.

All   life  is  relationship.  We  come  into   being  through   interconnected  relationships.   Every   relationship   in   our   life   is   a   mirror   reflecting  divinity.  

To   love  thy  neighbor  as  thyself  is  to   truly  be  the  Divine  Presence  seeing  through  human  eyes.  We   recognize   that   the   Great   Spirit   lives   within   all   life   as   it   lives   within   us.   As   this   Divine  Principle  flows  through  us,  we  can   look  upon  all  of  our  outer  reflections  without   the  slightest  hint  of  judgment  or  separation.  

It  is  one  of  our  highest  privileges  to  love  and  to  serve  all  manifestations  of  life.  To  be  able  to  do  this   with   the   same  effortless   grace,   through   which   the   sun   shines,   is   to   exemplify   the   true  meaning  of  Divine  Relationship.

PRACTICE  AND  INTEGRATION

This   first   initiation   is   about   consciously   establishing   Divine   Relationship   in   our   lives   with  everything.  

This  means:  

Divine  Relationship  with  the  Self.  Divine  Relationship  with  the  Presence  within.  Divine  Relationship  with  all  other  people  in  our  life.  Divine  Relationship  with  the  elements  of  nature.  Divine  Relationship  with  the  animals.  Divine  Relationship  with  both  animate  and  inanimate  objects.

Following   are  excerpts   from  the  audio   transmission   to   assist   in   applying   and   integrating   this  initiation  in  your  daily  life.

AFFIRMATIONS:

Please  say  to  yourself  and  repeat  often:Of  myself,  I  do  nothing.  It  is  the  Divine  Presence  within  that  does  the  work.

I  am  the  truth  of  Divine  Immanence.  I  live  my  eternal  unity  with  the  Divine  Presence  within  me,  above  all  else  in  my  life.  “Divinity”  is  in  everything.  All  upon  this  Earth  is  Divine  Consciousness.  From  this  knowing,  I  love  myself  and  I  love  all  others  without  exception.

I  am  the  life  of  sacred  relationship.I  am  the  life  of  sacred  relationship.I  am  the  life  of  sacred  relationship.

MEDITATIVE  CONTEMPLATIONS:

As  part   of   your   daily   practice,   following   are   suggested   areas   of   contemplation   to   take   into  meditation  and  a  space  of  silence  when  your  mind  can  receive  greater  knowledge.

1.  The  Meaning  of  Divine  Relationship

Sincerely   contemplate   the   meaning   of   Divine   Relationship   and   how   this   is   reflected   and  expressed  in  your  life.

3

-­‐  What  you  are  sincerely  doing  in  your  life?-­‐  What  is  the  purpose  of  your  life  activities?  -­‐  Are  you  in  sacred  relationship  with  life?

2.  Establish  Intimacy  with  the  Divine  Presence

The  Divine  Presence  is  right  here.  Turn  the  attention  inward.  

Focus  deeply  with  the  Divine  Presence.  Open  into  intimacy.

Ask  for  support  from  the  Divine  Presence,  within  you.  

Remain  quiet  and  listen.  

Really  feel  your  true  Self.

3.  All  Life  is  Sacred  Relationship

Life  is  relationship.  We  come  into  existence  through  relationship.  

To  personally  know  the  Divine  Presence  within  is  one  of  the  greatest  blessings  that  we  can  give  to  others.  This  is  also  one  of  our  greatest  privileges  in  life.  

When  we  are  able  to  acknowledge  this  Divine  Presence  within,  we  are  able  to  see  it  in  others.  We   then   see   that   all   other   people   are   our   reflection,   the   same  as  our   self.  We   are   in   every  person  and  every  person  is  within  us.  

This  ends  separation’s  game.  

4.  All  is  Within  

We  are  allowing  the  Divine  Presence  to  stand  forth  through  us  into  full  outer  expression.  

We   are  not   seeking   the   Divine   through   any  outside   sources.  We  know  that   the  source   of  all  love,  the  spirit  of  all  wisdom  and  the  understanding  of  all  truth  is  within  us.  

We  are  remembering  the  truth  of  our  infinitely  powerful  Divine  Self  as  who  we  really  are.
