Exploring the Mysteries

Orientation August 2, 2009

Monthly: August 2009 through May 2010

The true purpose of esotericism, the call of the adept to “Know Thyself” and the refinement of the personality are to experience and ultimately embody that state known as ‘Knowledge and Conversation with our Holy Guardian Angel’. Called by many names: the Higher Self, the Inner Christ, the Master Within and the Solar Angel, this consciousness of illumination and grace is the most important goal of any adept. 

The concept of the “H.G.A.” is ancient, but the term – Holy Guardian Angel – as it is used in Magick, is relatively new. It is the true spark of God within and is the unacknowledged truth underlying the world’s religions.  The Holy Guardian Angel is the divine object of devotion of the Shakti Yogi; Krishna to the Hindu and Christ to the Christian. On the Tree of Life, this area of contact with the Holy Guardian Angel is achieved in Tipereth, the sphere of the Sun, the center in us that is our God Within, Highest Self, or Point of Perfection.

Our truest divine nature seems almost alien, for it is so different than that which we experience in our day-to-day consciousness. Yet our Higher Self is an intense pressure that yearns and longs for union, and it is through complete surrender and openness to its guidance and instruction that we can really experience the Overshadowing of our Holy Guardian Angel.

There is nothing that will confer this blessed state on us from without, yet esoteric practices are designed to prepare us for this experience, through their repeated practice. We create a stronger link with the very unconscious parts of our Self that we seek, or more aptly, passionately desire, to bring into daily awareness.  This oneness is the Alchemical Marriage according to hermetic tradition and the Qabalistic equivalent of achieving the Philosopher’s Stone.

Our classes will explore what has been traditionally taught to enhance and strengthen contact with the Holy Guardian Angel. Our rituals will be designed to take us out of our identification with the mundane and further our union and identification with the Divine.

Classes are offered once a month on Sundays in conjunction with the ceremonial services. We will meet at 11:00 am for service, break for lunch and then continue with class or ceremony until 5:30. Please bring your bag lunch. The cost is $350.00 and a payment plan is available upon request.
