This test will not work for all of you who read this, at least not at this moment, but it will at some time in your future. If you have not connected to your lower self, with Mother Earth, then do that first. If you are now con-nected to your lower self, then this might really work for you. If you are al-ready connected to your higher self, then it could be an interesting and use-ful proof. But if you are just beginning, then just hold this idea for the fu-ture.
Once you feel that you are connected to your lower self and you feel and know that you have permission to connect with your higher self, this is a simple test you can do to prove your connection to yourself. This proof helps build confidence and leads to a stronger spiritual understanding. N o t everyone needs this proof, but some of you may. So if after reading this test, if it does not seem necessary, then go on to the next chapter.
SIXTEEN - The Three Levels of the Self £ 4 0 7
Begin by asking your lower self, Mother Earth, if this test is okay for you to do. If she says yes, then have fun.
Once you feel that you are ready to make this connection with higher self, then get a pencil, paper and a clipboard and write down a statement that you've got to put in your own words. Basically you're going to ask your higher self for a test to prove to yourself that this connection is real. Again, you may not need this test to prove their existence to yourself, and if you don't, then don't do it. You want the higher self to prove to you that it is the higher self and at the same time (which is important), you want this test to be spiritually healthy for your evolution.
If you get a green light to go ahead, then begin by making sure that the room is set so that you will not be disturbed by anyone or anything such as a telephone or visitors. Then write down on your paper exactly what you are going to say to your higher self. You are asking for a test, so something like
"What can I do, a physical act, in this reality that will prove to me that I've really made this connection with you? It will prove to me in my heart and mind that I've made this connection, and it will be for the greatest good of my spiritual growth at the same time."
Put it in your own words and write it down exactly the way you want to say it to your higher self. Then put the paper and the pencil down in front of you. Next, enter into meditation with your lower self, Mother Earth, and go into the point where you're breathing through the fourteenth breath and have prana moving through you. Then remain in the meditation for at least 30 minutes or more, until you've reached a state where you're very, very still inside.
Just sit with Mother Earth with no expectations. At the right moment, ask your higher self to come forth. The kahunas say you must ask, or the higher self will probably not come. When you feel or sense its presence, speak to your higher self in your own words, coming from your heart, the re-quest that you made on paper. Then you simply listen and wait. Feel the flow of the prana moving through your body. Feel the connection you have with the Mother, and listen for the Father to respond.
The kahunas say it won't always happen the first time. And sometimes the lower self doesn't feel you're ready yet, so she blocks your pathway. But you must ask anyway, and then wait for the higher self to enter into your awareness. When it does, the experience could be anything, just about anything at all that your imagination could think of. In my case these two angels appeared in the room. But that does not set a standard. Anything can happen.
I'm very visual, but you might not be. It does not matter. It doesn't mean that one way is better than another. You might simply have a voice appear in your head and say, "I'm the higher self. What do you want?"
W h o knows, it might sound like your voice or it might not. Maybe colors start appearing to you and you know what they mean. There's somehow a great meaning in whatever occurs. It could just be a feeling or sensation, but
4 0 8 O THE ANCIENT SECRET OF THE FLOWER OF LIFE
The instructions from God at the beginning of the Lucifer experiment were for humans to live free will. But what does free will mean? Does it not mean all possibilities, both good and evil? Does it not mean that we would be allowed to do anything we wanted, with the idea, from a biblical point of view, that we would learn discrimination for the good?
Life was given the ability to do anything it wanted, all possibilities; it was given free will. Therefore, how could free will exist unless consciousness created the format for this way of being? And who creates consciousness?
The one and only God. Lucifer did not create free will, but it was through his actions and decisions that free will became a reality. It was God who created Lucifer so that free will would exist. Before the Lucifer experiment, there was no free will except during the three other attempts. All life moved according to the will of God, according to the cosmic DMA. There were no deviations, and free will was only a potential that life could some-day try.
At one point, because free will was possible, we realized that there was a particular way we could experience this reality that had not been tried before.
So we tried it. We actually tried three versions of it, and each time it failed.
They were absolute disasters. The latest experiment and fourth attempt, with Lucifer heading it, used a different approach to create free will. This time God chose an area of consciousness that was just above human exis-tence: This experiment began with the angels. So it was the angels who brought this new freewill consciousness to mankind to be lived here in these dense worlds, and life everywhere watched to see how it would fare.
With great respect between two brothers, the battle between good and evil began. It was a battle to the death, yet neither could die. It was a battle that had to be, for it was the will of God. For the overall sake of the uni-verse, Michael supported the side of the light and the good and Lucifer backed the side of darkness and evil. A new possibility was about to be lived. And we humans thought it was a great idea, this idea of free will.
The Bright and Shining One
It becomes clear in the study of sacred geometry that nothing was cre-ated without intention and reason. It wasn't just a mistake; in fact, there are no mistakes. And when God created Lucifer, as you can read in the Bi-ble, he was the most magnificent angel God had ever created. He was the most intelligent, the most beautiful, the most amazing of all angels. So he had no peer; he was the top-of-the-line model of the angelic worlds. God gave him the name Lucifer, meaning "the bright and shining one." God gave him this name, so do you think God made a mistake?
If you think back to our own human nature, we always tend to look to our heroes as that which we want to become. We look up to those people who have gone before us, who have blazed the trail in the direction we feel we want to go, and we model much of our behavior after our heroes. Be-cause of the understanding of "As above, so below," it is the same for

lutely did not contact your higher self, for sure, guaranteed. Your higher self will never tell you to do something that is wrong or harmful. If you under-stand what the higher self is, it is self-evident. If you received a message supposedly from your higher self that is morally wrong, then burn the paper and forget it. Forget about the higher self and go back to playing some mote with your lower self. Definitely wait awhile before you try it again. But this distortion almost certainly will not happen.
However, if you get it on paper and it says to do something inconvenient or something you don't really want to do or that you think is silly—anything your ego doesn't really like or thinks is stupid to do—that does not matter.
If you're going to follow this path, then the next thing you must do is do it, whatever it is. Then wait and see what happens.
In the act of doing it, look to see what happens in the Reality, which you are not in control of. The Reality itself will react to that act and should show you and prove to you, beyond any doubt in your mind, that you have reached your higher self. It might not prove a thing in anybody else's mind, but it will be very specific with you.
We have just entered a world where everything is light, meaning con-scious, alive and a function of your thoughts and feelings. If it feels too strange or if you feel fear, wait. Everything is in the timing. If you have just connected with your lower and/or higher self, life is going to become beauti-ful, interesting and a lot of fun.
