Awakening

Our immortal ‘spark,’ this starlight that we have within us needs to awaken, to grow and to be brought to the surface and then nourished until its radiance suffuses our loved ones, friends, community and the earth.

Natural Law

n      Natural law is based on a belief in the inherent natural altruistic law of God that is found within each person.

n      This is the source of our ability as a Divine Human Being to express forgiveness, compassion and unconditional love to self and to others.

n      This Natural Law lies dormant until awakened by each person.

n      It may be awakened by what is call participation mystique.

Participation Mystique

n      This is a ‘knowing’ of the things of life and their inherent mysteries through the experience of the mundane as well as the spiritual.

n      It is an immersion in the mysteries of nature and the seeking of knowledge through mystical participation. This results in a transformation of consciousness.

The Pathway of Divine Humanity

Awakening to a New Consciousness

n      Divine Humanity’s Transformational Pathway is anchored in the transformational ability to ‘let go’ or detach from the emotional, mental and physical enemies such as stupidity, ignorance, arrogance, guilt, anger and fear, the mental illusion of ego and the spiritual separation of self.

n      To awaken is to realize our divineness and our relationship, our partnership, with all other things of heaven and earth.

n      This realization must occur within the heart and flow out from there to a new consciousness of being.

n      This is a consciousness that first and foremost recognizes the oneness of self and the oneness of others. It is a consciousness that lets us known within the core of our soul the non-dualistic interpenetration of all things that our culture and society deems as being separate and opposite.

The Four Winds

n      In acknowledgement of the reign of God outside of us in the earth of our birth, Divine Humanity’s Pathway honors and is structured around the four directions, or if you will, the four winds of the earth as well as the four basic elements and the four seasons delineated by the two equinoxes and the two solstices.

n      The Path of Forgiveness in the South

n      The Path of Divine Love in the West

n      The Path of Peace and Harmony in the North

n      The Path of Oneness in the East

The Fifth Direction

n      Our Pathway also recognizes the fifth direction—the center of the mandala, the center of the circle where the interpenetration of heaven and earth occurs.

n      The center is metaphorically a reflection of our heart, the core of our soul – our divineness, and our mind – our humanness—the interpenetration of heaven and earth—Divinehood.

The Feathered Serpent: The Pathway as Archetypal and Mythological 

n      Divine Humanity as an ecological religion and philosophy recognizes the importance and the divinity of nature.

n      It would only make sense to utilize our Pathway as a reflection and representation of the archetypical and actual power of nature.

n      The feathered serpent is the perfect archetypical representation of Divinehood. It is symbolic of the unity, equality and interpenetration of heaven and earth energies.

n      In addition, Divine Humanity’s Feathered Serpent Mandala or Medicine Wheel honors the indigenous people of the Americas. 

Is Divine Humanity’s Pathway the only way to Awaken?

No, there are many ‘paths’ up the symbolic mountain. Divine Humanity’s Pathway is only one. It does not matter if you follow Divine Humanity’s Pathway or another one that speaks to you. The goal is awakening, that is most important, not the path that took you to your awakening.
