OCCULTURE

"To travel into a new domain requires that we leave the domain we are in. Our current world or reality is that of ordinary consciousness. It is barely aware that there is a domain called 'the spiritual world'. To move into the spiritual domain we must leave our ordinary state of consciousness and consciously seek a state of consciousness which is higher."

~Norman Livergood

Our paradigm of Human Progress wraps around a deeply seeded mystic core. Quite simply, we cannot continue expanding in one world (the external), while denying our Source in the other (the internal). We cannot continue finding only contradictions and divisions between the two, for they are not contradictory or divided. This is essential if we are to survive and develop a better Life.

While “better” is vastly subjective in the multiplicity of external experience, the internal Being conceives of ‘better’ as holistic movement toward restoring the ONE. A “holistic movement” implies a vibrational change at all levels of existence; with the external existence as with the internal existence as with interaction of the entirety of one’s presence with the webs of Life. Thus, any viable solutions for civilization must not only factor for the immortal portion, they must integrate the immortal into the Whole expression of our mutual creation and circumstance.

In our New Culture we thus promote a strong occulture and seek a global change that is no less than the liberating, evolutionary mutation of the Human species upward.

When we waste our Life on what we already know – or worse yet, what we already know doesn’t work – we waste our energies simply reinforcing a solid or stagnate state. Your Life is too precious and amazing to imagine that your unfolding is done or that your personal Knowledge is complete. In fact, the world has been slumbering and this is but the Dawn of the Awakening…

"It is easy as a chrysalis, suspended within a limited horizon of concentrated development, to feel crystallized. And yet, the wings are forthcoming where a certain stage (or vibrational place) of Becoming is achieved."

In Ancient times settlements grew up around spiritual or energetic centers, which often had been used for ritual, celebration, gathering and sharing long before communities established roots around them. This reflects that we are networked energy centers ourselves (on multiple levels) before we are ever the community of cells composing our flesh.

Reality is inverted from the Actuality of existence when we start at the level of appearances and start working our way, in the best circumstances, to the core of Truth. Instead we start with the Truth and let appearances unfold from that space.

Thus in the New Culture, our occulture is our Heart. As with the Heart of any conscious current, it inflames with a burning passion and gives birth to wondrous expressions of purpose and potential.
