About The Procession – Lightning Path Overview –

The introductory video for this site is called The Procession. The video is a symbolic representation of the “end times” exodus out of darkness (left hand side of the screen) and into light (right hand side of screen). It’s a difficult trek, and it means leaving some things behind, but it is not an impossible trek, and there is lots of help, both from people who have “gone ahead” and from those who stay behind to help each other out.

The cliffs in the video are representative of the archetypal cliffs in the western tarot card, The Fool. In the western archetype the fool (that’s you) is seen jumping into incarnation in order to fulfill some hidden purpose. What the purpose is generally depends on what your past spiritual training is. That is, different spiritual systems and religions teach you different things. Maybe the purpose is to clear karma (eastern religions), maybe it is learn to be good or to redeem yourself (western religions), or maybe you are here to learn to develop mastery and wield power over others (as t hey teach in esoteric “boy’s only” systems like Freemasonry, etc.). The “fools’ journey” and purpose is different depending on what part of The System you have been trained in. However, none of that is important here. The point here is simply to draw your attention to the full metaphoric import of the introductory animation, The Procession. As you can see, the procession shows our return up the fool’s cliff. The procession shows our collective journey home, mission accomplished!

And how do we accomplish this “return home?” Well unfortunately, it is not as simple as walking down a path. While “away” from our home we have become separated from our true light and divinity. In order to accomplish our goals (which, incidentally, are not about karma, redemption, or mastery, as they teach in the old world spiritual system) we have become limited and isolated. The process of returning home is a process of removing limitation,  reconnecting with our divinity, and manifesting our glorious light and power through our physical bodies. This reconnection process is facilitated by my Lightning Path (LP), as symbolized by the “dove logo” that appears to the left of the animation. As noted in the introductory materials on this website, the LP   provides all the concepts, ideas, archetypes, and techniques you need to complete the journey home.

When the process is completed we are no longer the fool on a journey of limitation but are (as depicted in my own Halo/Sharp revision of The Fool card, Joyful) JOYFULLY manifested in full power and glory. It is important that you understand that this is not an evolution, redemption, salvation, or anything like that. You do not have to “become” anything that you are not already. This journey, this procession home, is simply a return to what you already are, a powerful spark of divinity incarnated in a highly evolved physical body, joyfully participating in divine creation.
