\"The<\/a>This post is the final essay in the Blonde Mystic series.\u00a0 I hope you’ve enjoyed reading it as much as I’ve enjoyed writing it.<\/p>\n

Of the books I’ve written so far, I think this one has been the most challenging.\u00a0 It’s not an easy matter to write an introductory text that approaches old topics in new ways.\u00a0 I opted in the end to write essays that speak to both your heart and mind and don’t ask you to rely on blind faith.\u00a0 Genuine faith, as opposed to blind religious faith, is only possible when you’re willing to open up your own inner senses and really learn how to learn<\/em>.\u00a0 So my goal in this book has been to point out some new ways of learning you may not have thought of before.<\/p>\n

Everything in this book has been focussed on helping you expand your toolkit rather than shrink it.\u00a0 So I’ve purposely written this material in a such a way that it can’t be used to sustain a “closed system” of Law.\u00a0 You’ll find very few rules you have to follow.\u00a0 But you’ll find many suggestions for how to challenge existing beliefs in thoughtful, reasonable, appropriate ways. This is a trick I learned from Jesus, who was always much more interested in “teaching people how<\/em> to fish”\u00a0 than giving them daily hand-outs.<\/p>\n

Several years ago, Jesus introduced me to his model of the Peace Sequence, his crystallized version of the correct sequence we need to follow if we want to create Peace for ourselves, our communities, and the world as a whole.\u00a0 Here is the Peace Sequence in a nutshell:<\/p>\n

First, Education.<\/address>\n
Second, Mentorship.<\/address>\n
Third, Personal Responsibility.<\/address>\n
Fourth, Peace.<\/address>\n

In other words, we can’t create lasting peace until individuals are willing to take personal responsibility for their own thoughts, feelings, choices, and actions.\u00a0 Yet the honest truth is these individuals can’t grasp what it means to take personal responsibility until they’ve received mature, appropriate mentorship from family, teachers, coaches, ministers, Big Brothers & Sisters, volunteer advocates, health care professionals, researchers, and the like.\u00a0 Furthermore, these individuals aren’t able at a biological leve<\/em>l to “see, hear, and remember” the wisdom and guidance of their dedicated mentors unless they’ve first received mature, appropriate education.<\/p>\n

So it all starts with education.\u00a0 It all starts with teaching the brain how to think in courageous, holistic, balanced ways.\u00a0 It all starts with teaching the brain how to “fill itself up” rather than “empty itself.”<\/p>\n

The Spiral Path of building your intuition and finding wonder, awe, mystery, love, and faith along the way begins when you decide you’re willing to take the risk of knowing who you really are, of knowing who God the Mother and God the Father really are.\u00a0 When you’re ready to make this choice, your guardian angels will step in to help you.\u00a0 They’ll help you move forward on the Spiral Path.\u00a0 They’ll help you rediscover who you are as a soul, who you are as a child of God.\u00a0 But first, right here today<\/em>, you need to understand that God and your angels can’t teach you faster than your biological brain can go.\u00a0 They can’t give you courage, trust, gratitude, devotion, and forgiveness, because these emotions can’t be given in the way a basket of bread and fish can be given.\u00a0 All your angels can do — all your angels want<\/em> to do — is teach you how to reclaim these attributes within your own core self.<\/p>\n

In other words, your angels are happy to mentor you so you can learn how to embrace your own sense of personal responsibility in the world.\u00a0 But before they can successfully mentor you, you have to be willing to learn.\u00a0 To retrain your brain.\u00a0 To better understand how your brain works in conjunction with your own core self (i.e. your soul).\u00a0 To let go of old ideas that aren’t working and be willing to change, grow, remember, and understand.<\/p>\n

I said in the second essay of this book — “The Spiritual Kitchen” — that I wanted to talk to you about the beginning of the spiritual journey.\u00a0 The beginning for everyone must be the first phase of the Peace Sequence: Education.\u00a0 There’s no other way, at a biological and scientific and practical level, for you to build your intuition or your ongoing relationship with your angels and God.\u00a0 This is the only “Secret” you really need to know.<\/p>\n

As you gradually expand the number of tools you can access in your brain’s 4D\/3D toolkit, mysteries of Divine Love will begin to come to you.\u00a0 You won’t have to go out looking for them.\u00a0 You’ll discover them on your own doorstep.\u00a0 The Spiral Path will begin to look less and less like a place “out there” and more and more like the kitchen of your very own home.\u00a0 The universe will speak to you in the smallest of shy voices, and at the same time it will boom out in songs that only the heart can understand.<\/p>\n

Don’t worry.\u00a0 You’ll know it when you hear it.<\/p>\n

Good luck to you, and many blessings!<\/p>\n

Love Jen<\/p>\n
