OPT 27 Pathway©
“Human beings are seen as a microcosm of the universe… As a consequence, it is believed that deeper understanding of the universe can be achieved by understanding oneself.” – Confucious
Your Soul is good!
It is bound up in fractured memories waiting to be released . . .
Because it is good, when it is complete it can take you Home!

The inner Hero is the warrior, the sage, the conqueror, the traveller and the journeyman. There are three worlds that the Hero must move through to be free of lower worlds and to reach the top of the first mountain.
How do you know that you have picked up Excalibur?
Your life will not be in cruise mode with everything going according to plan. You will not be sailing away into the sunset and nor will you be blissing out and in control of your life! You will often feel dishevelled, worn out, and tired to your bones. You will experience the wall butting your head, the fret of failure, and you will encounter more emotions than you ever thought possible. You will lose people, things and all your plans will go out the window. You will learn your demons (inner darkness) by their names: Crabby, Disdainful, Tempestuous, Greedy, Slothsome, Wrathful and ol’ Envee. All of them displaying a unique reflection of the lack of Love and Goodness in your life. You will encounter your Medusa – Doubt – many time and each time you will be required to cut off another head.
Why?
It is like I suggested metaphorically – until the human picks up that sword, their inner light beings (aspects) are controlling their inner dark beings (aspects). But they are not going away. Taking up that sword can be activated (if you have not done this already) by a simple visualisation technique: Close your eyes, find yourself entering a medievel room in a castle. At its centre is the round table and at the table sit all the Knights including Geneviere. Approach the table and find a magnificent sword on the table by the empty chair (Athur’s). Pick it up and point it towards the sky above the middle of the table. Imagine your knights doing the same. Do not do this if you do not have the intention of moving into Self Realisation or if you have any Doubt. You cannot turn back from this committment.
SCRIPTURE:
{Gen 3:24} “So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubim, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.”
Sacrifice
We are required to sacrifice a lot on this quest for the Holy Grail. The Holy Grail is truly transcendent and worth the sacrifice. People have this mental image that the sacrifice is related to physical things, people or wealth and this is not accurate. It is related to the places where our Soul aspects are bound up, where they are held captive. When a fragment (known as a shard) holds a piece of the Soul – most likely forfeited in another life when you made an error in your choices – it is guarded by the dark thoughts that you had at that time. For some, they are called demons and you have now discovered the meaning of ‘losing your Soul’ in exchange for something that these tenebrous entities offer. Remember, they can only offer something that you desire that you do not think that you deserve or that you think you cannot acquire yourself by having patience and asking your God correctly.
All humans that fall under these temptations, make the wrong choice because they feel less than their sovereign self. They are at a fork in the road; sacrifice the focus of desire or receive it for a price. The price is another little piece of their Soul bound up in time. The world is filled with these temptations every single day, and good people find themselves in a lot of trouble because they did not listen to the small voice inside. You will see this theme played out time and again in movies – the hero who says no and chooses death over temptation or the hero who caves, thinking that just one little error will not hurt.
It hurts!
It may not manifest in the hero’s physical world and maybe not even in that lifetime . . . but it hurt. The bruise will be felt for lifetimes to come.
And the revolution of the earth and the program that is running with the wheel of evolution and the cosmic cycles, will give everyone the opportunity to re-visit those choices for as many times as they want. Many humans return to earth as beggars or the forgotten, because they erroneously chose the easy path. Grace and Mercy ensure that they do not remember. For you to be here – now – with a reasonable amount of goodness, means that you are on the upward spiral . . . on your way out of here in this or the next couple of lifetimes.
SCRIPTURE:
{Gen 27:40} “And by thy sword shalt thou live, and shalt serve thy brother; and it shall come to pass when thou shalt have the dominion, that thou shalt break his yoke from off thy neck.”
It is not glamourous. It is not elegant. It is not pretty.
By my own experience, the three paths of the story: The Royal Road, are all true. I know that I am moving against popular teachings but the first road: The Fakir who sacrifices himself, can be seen in a different light. We have to lose the shards and aspects of ourselves that do not belong. In the beginning, we are like granite and we hold on with all our might and it takes a sledgehammer to remove the errant pieces. We do not purposefully lie on a bed of nails but we do experience times when the whole world feels like it is sticking swords into us. We feel tender and brittle at the same time.
The Knight/Warrior who goes to the battlefield, can be seen in a different light. Have you ever considered fighting a dark aspect (demon) with a hug or a feather? There is only one part of you that can defeat it and it is strength, fortitude, mercy and resilience all wrapped up in this road.
The third road, the path of the Fool is not a stand alone path, it is the third road because it comes third. After you have sacrificed all your inconsistencies and fake images, after you have fought your demons, then only without anything but a small bundle on a stick, do you follow the bird of intuition and reach the Gates. By then, you have no shards, they have all been sacrificed and shattered by the other two parts of self. Nobody – I mean nobody – reaches the Fool without the other 21 trials that they have to pass.
SCRIPTURE:
{Is 27:1} “In that day the LORD with his sore and great and strong sword shall punish leviathan the piercing serpent, even leviathan that crooked serpent; and he shall slay the dragon that [is] in the sea.”
No need to download . . .
It has become necessary to assist you with integrating the material to illuminate your regions of Self. There is no need to download this Pathway – go through it for a whole week each day and pay attention to the imagery, especially to the parts that catch your attention energetically. Now – in your day to day life, where you can and when you remember, use that imagery to light up a challenge, calm your storm, settle your mind or receive understanding. You can accomplish this by simply flashing the image as a thought as you contemplate the moment. Hoarding Pathways is not getting you anywhere . . . you need to recognise the moments your brain lights up and the moments that trigger a reaction. These are important. Everything else is superfluous and meant for somebody else in the group. We may offer a full course meal, but all you may need is a pea – know yourself!
The same goes for reading material – what lights up is what you need to pay attention to. I give backgrounds and landscapes to help you understand more, but it is unnecessary to learn everything. Some things are not meant for now, either!
“…the Tao is not transcendent to the self nor is mystical attainment an escape from the world in philosophical Taoism. The self steeped in the Tao is the self grounded in its place within the natural Universe.” – Tao Philosophy

“The Opticon 27: “I absolutely loved Opticon 27. The idea that aspects of me are not mere reaponses but actually allies that I can pull into action is so wonderfully empowering! You’ve given me a whole new layer of understanding about myself. I’m not only the master of my actions and my emotions, but also this set of valuable qualities! I need to, very consciously, not merely observe them, but choose when, where and how to engage or dismiss them. I can utilize them and not merely be in them per the moment. Brilliant and so, so powerful!” – R.C.

“The Opticon 27: “Opticon 27 was one of your best!! Felt familiar, but also felt like a new experience. You presented in such a way that all the energies came alive within me! I loved the way you presented via a clock as this made for an excellent visual. A bit like Opticon 22A The Many Faces of Me where we walked around the circle of shards. To me the clock was more awesome because we spend so much time looking at clocks haha… it’s a visual I can take anywhere with me. it felt like my heart was opening more & more as we moved around the clock….spellbound! Beautiful energies to tap into well done! Definitely very different energy from whenever you did it before” M.D.
