三個進化路線

對於平靜的相對真理是，在造物中，只有階梯層級的平靜是可能的。在這個表現的世界內，在現象和運動的領域中，你只能變得相對更加平靜。對於完全平靜的真正轉移，只有當我們將自己的存在，轉移進入整個造物從中誕生的「空」、「非移動」、「原始虛空」、「源頭」、「原始背景」的領域的時候，才會發生。在相對的層面，在對於平靜的追求中，有兩條途徑是需要注意的。第一條途徑清除我們未化解的過去內容，第二條途徑是學習待在平靜中，無論在此時此刻出現什麼樣的內容。

通往相對平靜的第一條路線

每個人都將不同程度的內容帶進這一世來解決。我們將問題從久遠的過去帶到了現在。我們帶著需要平衡和調整的行為模式；這是我們一世又一世的靈魂模式。我們帶著負面的業力，需要能量的解決和釋放，的過去行為的結果。我們也帶著對於學習的協議，這些都是在我們的靈魂藍圖或更高計劃中，所列出的主要和次要的課題。我們所有的負面思想和情緒都屬於不同的內在學習途徑。在清除我們系統中所有的內容和負面之後，我們就會變得越來越空，因此更平靜。這是通往相對平靜的第一條途徑。

通往相對平靜的第二條路線

第二條途徑是培養平靜，無論我們面臨什麼。這是我們時時刻刻的生活方式，我們與現實連結的方式。無論我們是否淨化了過去、現在和未來的問題，我們是來自於一個寂靜的地方。我們的得救不在於免於問題，而是對於任何的問題都感到平靜。沒有急著到達任何地方，因為生命的波浪不會停止洗滌我們意識的岸。當我們的智慧隨著每個來臨的波浪發展時，我們完全在當下，覺知到每一個細微的感受和體驗。無論外在的情況有多麼的極端、困難、痛苦或煩擾，我們的內在立場都是一個觀照意識。我們的心是敞開的，所以我們被生活所觸碰。但在另一個層面上，我們是觸碰不了的。覺知的空間將我們與外在故事的完全認同分隔；經驗者知道自己與經驗是分開的。在這第二條途徑中，平靜不是解決內容的功能，而是處在更高覺知的結果。

絕對平靜的路線

只有當我們進入靈魂的領域時，絕對平靜的途徑才會發生。這不僅是練習更高的覺知，也不僅是使經驗者不與經驗認同。絕對平靜的發生，是當你的覺醒深入到這樣的程度，你離開了「存在」的領域，進入「無」的領域中。你離開了「表現」的領域，進入「非表現」，「空」的領域，造物從中誕生的「原始虛空」中。唯有當你超越這領域，你才會成為真正解脫的觀照者。在夢中清醒，與在你的床內醒來，是不同的。不同的不僅是巨大的不同，而是量子的不同。解脫的觀照者必須站在這領域之外，來產生絕對的平靜。當觀照在這領域內發生時，仍然是相對的平靜。

這種自由是調動到「無」、「虛空」和「非移動」的領域的結果。調動只能發生在靈魂身上。自我無法調動，只有靈魂才能到達源頭。調動只能透過靈魂的三個中心發生，透過它的意識、存在和心。當靈魂最初實現時，它發生在存在的一側。最終，它的覺醒達到了遏制感，在其中，擴展到「無」的領域是需要的，以達到演化的均衡和完全的實現。當靈魂的三個中心在三摩地（Samadhi）中，在源頭中，被吸收時，絕對平靜的狀態就會由此誕生。

概要

綜上所述，通往平靜的相對途徑有兩方面。第一條途徑清除未化解的內容，清理一個又一個問題，推動我們朝向不斷增加的內在的空的平靜。這種淨化使我們更在當下，更免於過去，所以我們可以開始著手更大的演化目標。

第二條途徑培養更高的覺知，這是不與流過的事情認同或被擾亂。在演化的這方面，能量和智慧的增長是連續的，學習的機會和過程是無止境的。這條途徑是勇敢的，因為我們仍然是從夢中進行，但持續保持穿越所有事物的意願。

在絕對的途徑中，我們從夢中醒來，並採取量子的跳躍，穿越時空，進入「原始虛空」、「造物的源頭」中。我們從地球的親愛父母，即從源頭的角度，經驗著現實世界。我們不再是試圖獲得靈魂平靜的人類，相反的，我們是在世界上經驗著人類面向表達的靈魂。在此，我們在世界裡，但不屬於世界。這最後的途徑需要靜心的形式，這逐漸打開了通往純粹和完美的平靜的道路。

Three Streams of Evolution

The relative truth about peace is that within creation, only gradient levels of peace are possible. Within this manifest world, the realm of phenomena and movement, you can only become relatively more at peace. The true shift to perfect peace only occurs when we shift our being into the realm of emptiness and non-movement, the original void, the Source, the primordial backdrop from which the whole of creation arises. In the relative plane, there are two pathways that need attention in the pursuit of peace. The first pathway clears the content of our unresolved past, the second is learning to be at peace no matter what content arises here and now.

First Pathway to Relative Peace
Each person brings into this life a different degree of content to resolve. We carry over issues from our ancient past into the present. We carry over patterns of behaviour that require balancing and realignment; these are our lifetime to lifetime soul patterns. We carry over our negative karmas, the effects of our past actions seeking for energetic resolve and release. We also bring our agreements for learning, these are the major and minor lessons outlined in our soul’s blueprint or higher plan. All of our negative thoughts and emotions belong to different inner pathways of learning. In clearing all of this carried over content and negativity in our system, we become increasingly more empty and therefore more at peace. This is the first pathway towards relative peace.

Second Pathway of Relative Peace
The second pathway is cultivating peace no matter what we are facing. It is our moment-to-moment approach to living, how we relate to reality. Whether we are clearing issues around the past, present or future, we are coming from a place of quietude. Our salvation does not lie in becoming free of problems, but being at peace with any and all problems. There is no rush to get anywhere because the waves of life do not stop washing upon the shore of our awareness. We are fully present, aware of every nuance in feeling and experiencing as our intelligence evolves with every incoming wave. No matter how extreme, difficult, painful or disturbing the external situation, our internal stance is one of a witnessing consciousness. Our hearts are open so we are touched by life, but on another level, we are untouched. A space of awareness divides us from full identification with the outer story; the experiencer knows himself to be separate from the experience. In this second pathway, peace is not a function of resolving content, but the result of abiding in a higher awareness.

Pathway of Absolute Peace
The pathway of absolute peace only occurs when we enter the realm of the soul. This goes beyond just the practice of a higher awareness, it goes beyond just keeping the experiencer dis-identified from the experience. Absolute peace occurs when your awakening deepens to such a degree that you expand beyond the realm of presence and enter into the realm of absence. You expand beyond the realm of the manifest and enter the unmanifest, the realm of absence, the primordial void from which creation is born. Only when you relocate beyond this realm, do you become a truly liberated witness. It is the difference between waking up inside the dream vs. waking up inside your bed. The difference is not just vast, but quantum. The liberated witness must stand outside this realm to yield absolute peace. Relative peace is still when witnessing occurs within this realm. You are still part of the world, you are just living existentially deeper than the world, so you are free from it.

In the absolute pathway, you are actually lifted off the screen upon which life is projected. You are watching freely from your seat as an audience member in the theatre of your own life. What happens on this screen is inconsequential; you can never be threatened by its contents, as life is now experienced as no more real than a dream. War, tragedy, comedy, horror, drama, action, sci-fi are all animated on your screen of consciousness which has now become mirror-like, holding no prejudice or preference, receiving all impressions equally.

This freedom is as result of relocation into the realm of absence, emptiness and non- movement. Relocation can only happen to the soul. The ego cannot relocate. Only the soul can reach the Source. Relocation occurs through the three centers of the soul, through her consciousness, being and heart. When the soul initially becomes realized, it happens on the side of presence. Eventually her awakening reaches a sense of containment wherein expansion into the realm of absence is needed in order to reach evolutionary equilibrium and full realization. When the three centers of the soul are all absorbed in Samadhi in the Source, then the state of absolute peace is thus born.

Summary
In summary, the relative pathway towards peace is two-fold. The first pathway clears unresolved content one issue at a time, moving us towards the peace of increased emptiness within. This clearing makes us more available to the present and freer from the past, so we can begin working on higher evolutionary goals. The second pathway cultivates a higher awareness that is not identified or disturbed by what is passing through. In this dimension of evolution, where the growth of energy and intelligence is continuous, the opportunities to learn and process are endless. This path is courageous because we are still operating from within the dream, and yet finding the will to go through anything.

In the absolute pathway, we wake up from the dream and take a quantum leap through time and space, relocating into the primordial void, the source of creation. Here, we experience earthly reality from her beloved parent, the Source. We are no longer the human trying to attain the peace of the soul, rather, we are the soul experiencing her human aspect express in the world. Here, we are truly in the world but not of this world. This last pathway takes the form of meditation, which by and by opens the way towards pure and perfect peace.
