SG V1.1

To your birth into light. ~ Orin

Orin and I welcome you to this book, the third in the Earth Life series. You can read and use each book in the series individually; together they provide a course in higher consciousness.

I have been channeling Orin, a spiritual guide and teacher, for many years. He tells us he is a being of light and is here because we are going through a time of major transition and awakening. He says he exists in the same dimension as our higher selves, and that part of his purpose is to assist us in being our higher selves in our Earth lives.

I have always experienced Orin as a very wise and gentle being. His advice to me and others assists us in connecting with our higher selves and our own inner wisdom. When I channel Orin, I am in a peaceful state similar to meditation and am conscious of his guidance as it comes through me.

I perceive his guidance as a stream of thoughts alongside my own, and I am aware that we have two distinct streams of consciousness. I feel as if I am bathed in light when I channel; there is an incredible sense of love and understanding. Orin's words seem like a fraction of what I am experiencing; there is a richness of feeling, pictures, and illumination transmitted with his words that are beyond description.

You may feel this richness yourself as you read this book, for Orin tells us that he has designed these sentences so that their rhythm assists you to open your breathing and move into a higher state of consciousness. In this state, you feel more connected to your higher self and may receive pictures, feelings, and inner knowing that go beyond the information you are reading. Orin reminds us to accept only the information that rings true to the deepest part of our beings and set aside any that does not.

Orin originally taught the material in this book to a small class of students, to teach us more about spiritual growth, accelerate our growth, and assist us in growing with joy rather than struggle. Orin gave us information and taught us how to get into higher states of consciousness through guided meditations and energy work.

Since then, we have had numerous opportunities to use the techniques given in this book and they have brought us many positive results. We all feel we have taken a quantum leap in our spiritual growth and have had wonderful changes in our lives. As we have used these tools of the higher realms, we have learned to create many things that would have seemed like miracles before. Today we use these processes almost automatically, for they seem quite normal. We often take their effectiveness for granted and forget that we once did things any other way.

In the class, we called upon the power of light and changed difficult situations for the better. We learned to become transparent and let others' energies pass through us. We received wise counsel from our higher selves and found new ways of handling old patterns. We saw the bigger picture of our lives more clearly and learned new information about our higher purposes and who we are. We discovered that spiritual growth could be richly rewarding and more fun than we had thought.

Orin told us that the information covered in the class would be the basis for this book, and that he was aware of each and every one of you who would be reading it. In his reality there is no time and space. As he talked to us, he made us aware that he was also talking to you.

As Orin and I were organizing the class notes and putting this book together, he often had me stop and let him broadcast energy through me to you. I had a sense of an enormous amount of love pouring through me, and I knew when the energy left my body, going outward and making a connection to someone. Although I do not know which of you Orin is sending energy to, you will know who you are as you read this book and feel his love and support reaching out to you.

I am glad to share with you all the tools that Orin has given me to assist me in growing spiritually, discovering my higher path, and becoming a source of light. I have come to realize that spiritual growth is a wonderful journey, and I welcome you as a fellow traveler on the path. I send you light as I join you in the inner planes where we are all working together.

This is a course in spiritual growth. Section 1, Reaching Upward, is about becoming one with your higher self and connecting with the higher powers of the Universe the Universal Mind, Higher Will, and light as a living entity.

The second section, Opening Inward, is about creating oneness with all the parts of yourself through opening your heart. You can learn to love yourself more, allow even better things into your life, calm your emotions, live in the void, choose the reality you want, and change your experience of time.

In the third section, Expanding Outward, you will learn about creating oneness and unity with all life on your physical plane and becoming a source of light. You will have the opportunity to learn more about who you are, your higher purpose, and how to take your work out to the world and grow through service. Empowering others will assist you in going even higher yourself.

Orin has designed the guided meditations that follow each chapter to take you through a step-by-step process to assist you in putting into practice what you learned in that chapter. As you do these guided meditations, sit quietly, read them, and use your imagination.

Connect with your higher self before you start. Notice when you feel a shift, for Orin designed the meditations to shift your consciousness to a higher level, into that of your higher self. Pretend you are doing whatever the meditation calls for, and use the images, thoughts, or ideas that flow into your mind as guidance from your higher self.
