On our path of Self-realization, as we advance on the initiatic path, we become much more Self-directed. That direction, though, comes from within, from our Presence, from
the clear-conscience voice of divine reason, the Christic
Mind. This Self-direction manifests as an ongoing knowingness of what is next for us. If we are truly reliant upon God,
this Self-direction makes us much more careful in how we
deal with energies, how we deal with relationships, how we
respond in words, thoughts, feelings and actions.
We then become more Self-actualized; because when we
are caring and careful in how every erg of energy flows
through us, then we become Self-luminous, like the Christ.
We go through the initiation of the Transfiguration. That is
pure luminosity, divine luminosity. We become all light. In
that point, we are enlightened. We are fully enlightened. Yet,
that enlightenment has many stages and steps of development.
