the six lines and what they are

Our six lines of overall spiritual evolution and development (from the 25/36 aspects of divinity) are

FACE - PSYCHE - PATH - STAGE - STATE - and.... EXPERIENCE

this is a development of Ken Wilbers ideas, what he origonally called path of waking up, growing up, cleaning up and showing up etc.

all of these aspects have six levels to them: namely :

SENSE - BODY - MIND - GOD - RELATING TO GOD - AND GOD HIM/HER SELF

(these are vertical dimensions to the six aspects of divitity, hence how we get the 36 aspects of divinity or overall map of spiritual evolution .

Analysing these six aspects of divinity (face, psyche, experience etc), we can name the quality of someone who is advanced in each one of these lines, respectively.

these are:

FACE - relationship counciler

PSYCHE - psychologist and therapist

PATH - Life coach

STAGE - Spiritual Teacher

STATE - Meditation instructor

and finally ..

EXPERIENCE - which I suggest the name : EXPERIENTIAL GUIDE

Two examples of teachers that I feel are experienced in the experiential line are, Timothy Leary, and Terrence McKenna. There advancement in this particular line (the experiential line) shows why they have been such adequate teachers to many generations since there appearance in this world around the 1960's, cultural - creative revolution.

Shadow Line explained - from pathology to psychological maturity

suggestions on ethics

the use of sensory enjoyments can only be understood by understanding tantra - progressive Vashnavism includes tantra. As such the four regulative principles are out of date and inappropriate. I recommend using the origonal pillars of THE TRUTH for ones ethics - not the four regulative principles. These are : Truthfulness, Austerity, Compassion and Cleanliness. Futher these principles need to be understood in the natural, spiritual, celestial sense and up. For eg. Truthfulness pertains to the aquistion of truth from the scripture, speaking the truth, and living by the Truth which means living by the Lords direction.Futher, a better ethical module is using the origonal 10 or 12 ethical standards from Sanatan Dharma - "Truth, non-violence, non-stealing, non-corruption, clenliness, contentment, reading of scriptures, austerity and prayers. Anyway, this is a deep topic but taking the lead of spiritual leaders such as Ken Wilber, we can see that injunctions based on ethical standards are more often than not, harmful and confusing, as opposed to improving societies needs.
