Chapter 1, Lesson 4: Clearing and Setting Intentions; Stepping into the Container

Welcome to Lesson 4 of Finding Your Way.  This lesson is meant to be a sort of spiritual hygiene, before we launch into all of the course content.  We will do a quick energetic clearing, so that you shake off some of your karma and can familiarize yourself with the sensations of energy moving through your body.  After that, we will discuss setting intentions and building containers.  Finally, I will give you your first direct transmission, which I call Finding Your Buddha Center.    

The purpose of the clearing is to begin to free you from karma and negative stories.  Karma, as used in this course, is any attachments you have with someone or something else - any craving, clinging and aversion.  I realize that terms like karma are new for you.  Every unfamiliar term will at some point in the course be fully described for you, and I have included each definition where I believe it is optimal for you to know it.  Along the way, if you need additional clarification, I have provided links to articles at Truth Resonates that describe the concept.  And as always, feel free to ask the question via email, on the Forum, or on the Discord server.  I hope this arrangement doesn’t cause you any suffering or confusion. 

In order to perform the clearing, I will be using several different magics, all of which I will describe to you in more detail as the course progresses.  As I go through the clearing, I will tell you what magic I am doing, as well as its intended effect, so that you can start to get a sense for how the different magics fit together and how they feel in your body.  

Alright, here we go.  I recommend you close your eyes, take a few deep breaths, and sink as deeply as you can into your body.

I’m going to begin now with wizardry to gently shift your karma and cause it to begin to integrate, while aligning your chakras and opening up any obvious closed channels in your energy structure. 

And now I’m going to use the Dream-Arts to shift and transmute any obviously negative stories you are telling yourself.

I’m reaching out to your parts and having an astral conversation with them to help them see your and their Buddha selves and begin healing.

I’m using the magic of quintessence to give you a blessing of passionate learning to aid in your seeking.

I’m coordinating the sacred geometry of our reality to help the teachings and transmissions in this course to move past your blindnesses and the blocks in your energy structure, and also to help you to be as fully embodied as you can be, given your current level of growth.

I’m now going to be tuning the interfaces between you and me, as well as between you and the concepts I will be teaching, so that there is as much clarity in the transmissions and teachings as is possible.

I’m now anchoring your energy structure firmly to the Earth, so that you will stay grounded and energetically stable throughout this course and beyond.

And finally, I am conveying a blessing of wisdom from Guan Yin, the goddess of love and compassion.

If you enjoyed this clearing, I posted a link in the resources section of the course page to just the clearing itself, without the rest of this lesson.

Now that you are hopefully calm and feeling somewhat lighter and more clear, this is a wonderful time to set your intentions for this course.  What are you hoping to get from this course?  How are you hoping to grow or heal?  This may also be a good time to reflect on your larger goals in life.  

Once you have a sense of your intentions, you can begin to craft one or more invocations to begin to strongly coordinate reality towards your desired intent.  An invocation is kind of like a prayer, although it does not have to be towards any particular god or beings.  It can simply be a statement of desire, expressed out loud to yourself and the universe.      

To give you an example of invocations, every day, as part of my spiritual hygiene, I make the same statement of intention, bringing as much of my energy, desire and intent to bear as I can manage, and consciously coordinating as much meaning-gravity as I possibly can.  I’ll say my invocation to you now, although it is important for you to understand that a number of these words have very precise meanings within the structure of my magic.  I recommend that you always use words whose meaning you understand fully and that are resonant with the meaning you are trying to convey.  Here’s my daily invocation:

“I ask the one infinite creator and any and all beings who wish to aid me, please guide me and teach me, so that I may learn and grow, and help bring heaven to Earth as soon and as fully as is optimal, for the Truth of All That Is.”

I recommend that you spend some time after this lesson ends reflecting on who you want to be and what you want to achieve.  Then find a way to craft a statement embodying those desires.  Here is an invocation for the course that you may find useful, if you aren’t sure what to say:

“I desire to learn, grow and heal, while coming into greater harmony with myself and all beings.”

Once you have worked out a few invocations that are resonant, say them out loud frequently.  You may be surprised at how quickly reality begins to shift around you.

As you grow, you will begin to learn how to create containers.  A container is an energetic construct to strongly guide coordination and learning.  This course is a type of container, coordinated by the gods Thoth and Guan Yin.  Thoth is the Egyptian god of magic and writing, and Guan Yin is the Chinese goddess of love and compassion.  Much of what is taught to you on this course came from conversations I had with one or both of them, and they are helping to coordinate this learning through the container to anyone who participates.  The intent embodied in the container is to learn and grow spiritually, to heal from our karma and suffering, and to learn to allow the radiant light of our true Buddha selves to shine forth.  

By continuing with this course, you are explicitly stepping into that container for so long as you wish, allowing Thoth and Guan Yin to coordinate your reality in order to further reinforce and expand upon everything you are learning here.  If you want to strengthen the container even further, you can say out loud that you consent to this container and even craft a daily invocation to restore and strengthen the container.  Once you learn about the Heka particle in Chapter 7, I will show you how to link the course container to a crystal that you can wear, massively strengthening the container’s positive effect on your reality.

Alright, I’m now going to give you your first direct transmission, which I call Finding Your Buddha Center.  It is a tool that you can use to almost always bring yourself back to a place of calm centered reflection.  Here is the transmission.

{Finding Your Buddha Center}

I love how calm that transmission always makes me feel.  Once that fully unpacks inside your energy structure over the next few minutes, you will find that you can easily attain that same feeling of calm whenever you want, simply by picturing your center and seeing clearly the being of love and unity at your core.  I hope you find this tool useful.  I look forward to sharing many more with you over the remainder of this course.

This is the end of Chapter 1.  In the next lesson, we’ll begin Chapter 2, which is a discussion of the four movements of consciousness, as well as the nature of polarization.  Until then, be well.
