As a person climbs the ladder of spiritual progression in this lifetime, there are particular terms that describe various stages of development.
In order to maximize the opportunity of this lifetime, there are at least thirty important spiritual terms you should become familiar with.
All of these terms are part of the reason we incarnated and mastering the meaning of each of these is likened to initiation.
When you master the initiations, you prove that you are ready to move to the next experience.
The following are the top 30 spiritual terms you should know:
1. Awakening
Awakening is the realization that you are more than just a human and you are here to accomplish more than just being a slave to the system.
Awareness arises when your codes are activated with photonic light in order for you to begin to realize who you are and what you came into this lifetime to accomplish.
The soul is immortal, and its energy can be seen around the physical body as the aura.
The soul is an aspect of energy consciousness from a larger essence of a monad and has a personality that continues to exist after “death” of the physical body.
The purpose of your soul is evolution through the guidelines of Universal Law.
4. Higher Self
The higher self is the ethereal high vibrational mental aspect of your soul that serves as liaison between your soul and your monad.
Discovering how to communicate with your higher self as a guide is essential in the spiritual awakening process.
Going within is the method of finding your higher self.
When Creator created monads, it created them out the rays of its white light.
When this light is differentiated it becomes the colors of the rainbow.
Monads were split into groups of colors known as rays.
For example, a blue ray monad will have a purpose or characteristics different than a green ray monad.
Blue ray monads have more in common and vibrate at the same rate as other blue ray monads, thus they are naturally attracted to each other.
Furthermore, monads split into souls and vibrational groups are formed within each soul.
These souls incarnate together in order to help each other spiritually advance.
Soulmates from a particular soul group recognize each other when they meet in this lifetime.
A soulmate may incarnate as your mother or father in one lifetime and then they may switch it up to be the daughter or son in another lifetime.
They could be husbands and wives, or they are an influential person in your life that helps to balance a past life energy or lesson.
Soulmates from a soul group love each other so much that they may have volunteered to be a difficult aspect of your lifetime, which is a blessing in disguise as these lessons catapult you higher on your spiritual path.
The most intimate of these advisers helps us to conceive and review our blueprint with us and is at our side every step of the way from incarnation to “death”.
Besides this dedicated guide, we have other guides that can come and go depending on their specialty advisory field.
Every one of us has a guide that is someone we were very close to and trusted with our soul.
All spirit guides have spent at least one lifetime on Earth.
Because of this, they are able to empathize with the:
mistakes
problems
fears
and temptations, all the frailties we encounter in the human world.
11. Guardian Angel
Creator first created the angels to mirror love back to itself.
This was how it would get to know itself as ultimate love.
These angels have a great desire to serve Creator in any way because of the great love they have for Creator.
Sometimes these angels take on specific assignments in service.
Guiding humanity is one-way angels can be of service.
These angels act as guides but are of the highest vibration of love.
Some angels actually do incarnate but most do not.
To go forth into a lower dimension, and angel must send forth an aspect of its consciousness, just like a monad does.
Angel consciousness aspects are always around us holding the space for the creation of love within our hearts.
Angels can create miracles, which is just a way of changing the reality that one experiences into a favorable outcome.
Just like spirit guides, your guardian angel is awaiting your recognition and request for service.
12. Twin Flame
A monad is an aspect of consciousness of Source that has a female (yin) polarity and a male (yang) polarity.
Upon descending into the third dimension, these aspects get separated although they stay connected on the higher monad level.
We are always yearning for our polarity aspect to fulfill a need to be complete; however, the experience of separation from our twin flame and our Creator catapults us in our spiritual growth and understanding of who we are.
Twin Flames rarely incarnate into the same lifetime because of the need for diverse experience, however recently more twin flames have incarnated together in order to assist each other in ascension.
13. Free Will
We exist in a free willed Universe.
This Universal Law allows us the power and responsibility to choose how we define and perceive our reality.
Free Will is responsible for the allowance of darkness on the planet and thus throughout the Universe, as Creator gave all souls the ability to create whatever they choose.
The greatest irony of free will choice to be other than light/love is the threat of destroying the experience of living in a free will existence.
Universes that are not free willed operate through goals and agreements through a group high mind consciousness which gives them direction toward experience.
Some of these things include who are parents or guardians are, what type of socioeconomic situation we will be born into and what energy signature we will have by being born into a particular zodiac sign.
Ascension is the term used to describe moving from a lower vibrational consciousness to a higher consciousness.
It involves acknowledging standing in your full power of who you are as you co-create the illusion of separation while existing in a high vibrational state of love.
It is accomplished by consciously connecting with the tools and experiences of your akashic record held within your DNA with the help of your higher self.
It can also be a balancing act such as reincarnating with another soul mate and serving a role in order to wipe the slate clean of karma between the two souls.
There can be many tasks involved in a life purpose leading up to a bigger task if all of the other tasks are performed.
For example, there may be several tasks of awakening and healing involved and if all of them are successfully completed, the end result might be ascension.
If a person does not complete a life purpose they usually reincarnate to try again.
Understanding one’s life purpose is easier than most people make it out to be, for it is usually what they enjoy doing the most in life.
Newton’s law states that for every action there has to be an equal or opposite reaction.
When we incarnate into a physical body and live a life under the veil of forgetfulness, we can incur karma if we do not treat others with the same care and love that we should treat ourselves.
Thus, we end up incarnating over and over in this school of life to eventually learn the golden rule.
This has been termed the wheel of karma and because we are coming to the end of a cycle of reincarnation, transmuting karma in this lifetime is usually one of the main life purposes of many people.
Fortunately, we have a tool called the Universal Law of Wisdom to help us complete this task by allowing us access to all of the accumulated wisdom we gathered in all of our lifetimes.
One of the most important tools of this law is forgiveness, which stops the pattern from repeating and thus neutralizes karma.
Besides the nonphysical higher dimensional pattern, DNA contains the instructions needed for a physical living organism to grow and function.
DNA is found in the nucleus of every cell in our body except in red blood cells and is fully repeated in every cell.
The dormant strands of the higher vibrational DNA in our cells have been termed “junk DNA” by scientists.
One of the goals most of us made in for this incarnation was to receive the DNA upgrade that is available to us as we astrologically move into the Golden Age and out of third dimensional density.
This DNA upgrade will open the door to experiencing multidimensional life while existing in a physical body, which is unique to physical beings in our Universe.
Meditation is a ritual that creates a state in which the body is consciously relaxed, and the mind is able to become calm and focused.
Preparation for meditation includes grounding, breathing deeply, and asking for spiritual guidance and protection.
A goal of meditation is to quiet the left brained thinking (monkey mind) in order to allow for right brained information from higher vibrational aspects of yourself to bring clarity in life.
Another goal of meditation can be to have conversations through telepathy with other spirits or guides.
Meditation can also be used to clear negative energies and to bring more light into the body.
The aura is the energetic field that is part of a living being.
Your inner aura is a reflection of your spiritual health aura, and your outer aura is your luminous energy field.
Both of these auras emanate from your skin outwards.
Your inner aura will expand anywhere from 6 to 12 inches (15 to 30 centimeters) from your body while your outer aura will extend several feet from your body.
Depending on what emotional state you are currently experiencing, your aura will transform itself into a color that matches the emotion.
With practice, one can see another person’s aura colors in order to identify unbalanced energy within the body.
A weak auric field can make a person feel drained, and it is a good spiritual practice to keep your aura protected and strong.
24. Spiritual Protection/Clearing
Our spirit guides and angels can provide spiritual protection from interference in our energetic field as we progress on our path to a higher vibrational way of existence.
Part of the learning process of this lifetime involves being subjected to low vibration in order to learn how to identify, transmute, and clear lower energies that may exist in our auric field.
These energies may have been a part of a past life that we carried forth into the next lifetime and cannot be carried forth into the fifth dimension, or they may be hitchhiking entities that can sneak into the auric field through fissures.
The clearing of these energies is necessary in order to move into the vibration of love of the fifth dimension.
Once they are cleared, asking for protection from other lower vibrational energies and entities helps to continue to raise one’s vibration.
A guided clearing meditation is one way to clear and protect.
Water is an excellent cleansing agent when infused with love and intention, and sea salt baths with baking soda can also assist with cleansing.
Crystals are also an excellent way to clear and protect, as they can absorb and transmute energies.
25. Merkaba
“Mer” means Light, “Ka” means Spirit, and “Ba” means Body.
Mer-Ka-Ba, or “chariot of ascension”, means the spirit/body surrounded by counter-rotating fields of light.
According to Drunvalo Melchizedek, the merkaba field is a permanent and highly ordered Merkabic structure of inter-connected electro-magnetic counter-rotating energy spirals (wheels within wheels) that exist as an integral part of all creation.
The activation of the merkaba field within our bodies will allow us access to the higher dimensions through consciousness.
The activated merkaba field looks like a multi-colored spinning orb.
26. New Earth
This is the term used to describe the fifth dimensional Earth that will be accessed through the shift toward ascension.
The requisite for experiencing a New Earth will be the vibration match according to the Law of Vibrational Attainment, as the New Earth will be vibrating at a fifth dimensional frequency.
Gratitude is one of the highest vibrational acts of love that a person can exhibit.
Giving thanks can be achieved by intention and prayer and is best verbalized.
30. NDE/Life Review
A Near Death Experience (NDE) can occur when a person’s spirit leaves the body and crosses over to the other side and then returns to the body to live another day.
NDE stories are useful in realizing that our souls do not die upon the death of the physical body and that we are spirits having a physical human experience.
This helps a person transmute the fear of dying which is an important aspect of spiritual progression.
People who report about NDE’s often talk about having a life review which is a movie of everything that has happened in their life.
This brings about the realization that everything we do is important is our life and is recorded in our akashic records.
We are the judge during a life review and part of spiritual wisdom includes realizing that we can atone for our actions now thanks to NDE experiences that have explained life reviews.
The awakening process is the soul’s realization that raising one’s vibration is necessary with the help of their higher self in the ascension process.
This will allow life on a New Earth that is built upon Universal Law.
We are all connected to a Creator Source that created our soul and our monad or multidimensional conglomerate of our past lives.
We incarnated with our soul mates, and with the help of our spirit guides and guardian angels we will complete our soul contracts and fulfill our life purpose.
The dark night of the soul brings up opportunity to transmute karma and clear our chakras.
This will allow our DNA upgrade and cause our merkaba to spin.
Through NDE’s we learn the importance of forgiveness, loving ourselves, and having gratitude in this lifetime.
We can heal our aura through meditation, which will protect us as we climb the spiritual ladder and move toward reuniting with our twin flame to enjoy a higher level of existence of love and free will.
