PathWays - An Interview with Jayem

What's so important
about the Mystical Path?

Why do we need a Way?

Mankind is at a huge Crisis Point. The effects of humanity, split off from its more feminine and mystical capacities, are clearly evident in the destruction of the biosphere, the continuation of violence and war, and the epidemic growth in neuroses.

The Cosmic Field, or Rukha d'qoodsha is polluted with substitutes for the Real Thing.

We need desperately to inspire millions to seek their own direct feeling intimacy with Divine Mystery, for here alone is Separation overcome. When you feel suffused in the Mystery, you know the earth is your body, and all beings your brothers and sisters.

The way of the world is the Blue Pill. The Way of Mastery is the opportunity for the Red Pill, to use the analogy from that brilliant, archetypal film, The Matrix.

To take up this Way is to awaken from the Great Spell. It changes everything, everything! And yet, I give you warning: the one who ends such a Journey is not the one who begins it, for the self becomes a Servant of Mystery, of the Divine, even while being engaged in the struggle of eternal Birthing into even more of that Mystery.

Jeshua once said to me:

"It is the ego that comes first to spirituality. It believes here it will find the forms of power, the kind of peace it wants. It does not know that it is moving toward its own doom, as the illusion of the separate self is dissolved, and Christ arises in its place."

And as that happens, we are 'turned' more and more to being Servants, and that can be challenging. Yet, all along, from the moment we offer that first prayer, as I did in a fox hole in Vietnam, Grace has swept us up and God lives us into the answer to the deepest prayer of our soul.

In my own journey to answer this deep inner Call that must eventually awaken in all beings, gradually, I discovered that genuine spirituality truly transforms us. I began to see, in my own case, where I was convincing myself (and others!) how much I 'knew', yet my own life was still compartmentalized. Let me put it succinctly:

Being drunk, I talked about what sobriety is!

Unfortunately, this is rampant in religion, New Ageisms, and is, frankly, endemic throughout societies.

I came at first to be shocked, humbled, and challenged principally by Jeshua to 'put my money where my mouth is'!

What do I mean by that? Listen carefully:

A spiritual life is a transformed life in all of its aspects, not just in some. I have come to use the tremendously insightful (and challenging) phrase, the seamless life to refer to the natural effects of a genuinely spiritual way of life:

A seamless life is a life in which one's work, career, play, and service to healing humanity have all merged into one seamless flow.

It is both the goal, and the sign that spiritual transformation is more or less established from which the soul will keep unfolding its creativity and service, as long as this life lasts.

It's a challenging notion! For it says to us that if our livelihood is out of sync with what we say we know, we are fooling ourselves. It says, well, consider it in your own case:

Can you honestly say
you are living a realized, seamless life?

If not, I humbly suggest that your journey is not yet fulfilled. In fact, I do not think any soul can really rest in God, until it is seamlessly creating from God.

When the money you receive flows directly from your service to others in service of Awakening, when you have become a field of consciousness in which no aspect of life is compartmentalized, when what you do, how you serve, what you create, and how you earn your living are simply who and what you are, you have realized the seamless life.

And I think it is essential not to fool ourselves otherwise! A seamless life can take many forms, but it takes shape from within our own unique being.

I think this is one thing Jeshua was referring to when He said:

By their fruits will you know them.

Is our life serving the healing and awakening of humanity? Or do we live on both sides of the fence?

I know it can feel challenging, and it need to be so! The call to the Way is secretly what all beings want to experience. Now, get busy and become the person through whom the Way is realized, demonstrated, and known!

You could say that, in this way, spirituality finally lands with its feet on the planet, and we can safely say: "I have fully incarnated my true Self!"

Is that what Way of Mastery is all about?

Essentially, yes. It has taken over seventeen years for this Work to reach its present stage, under Jeshua's guidance, even when I didn't know He had His hand on my rudder!

The Way of Mastery is about developing and offering educational modalities which address the full spectrum of the evolutionary growth of the soul. It is not about going up and out, but coming down and in.

The Jeshua material, and the experiential Work He has led me to master over these many years can truly address every aspect of life: from career to communication, to relationship, to service.

And, for those who may be so called, we will be developing and offering full, in-depth training and facilitation skills leading to certification as Way Leaders. These Leaders or teachers will be certified to lead Way of the Heart study groups, LovesBreath, Radical Inquiry, and begin to manifest a seamless life providing this Work for the benefit of others.

Some will even become licensed to start their own schools, and will be authorized to train teachers of this Way, too.

In this way, the Vision Jeshua began to birth through me will complete His vision for it, and to help elucidate this, I would like to turn to another of His Beatitudes:

"Blessed are the peacemakers.

For they shall be called the children of God."

When we delve into His actual Aramaic words, we discover something far more esoteric, and powerful:

Restored in wholeness are those who through breath and feeling have become knit together within.
Through them shall be carved channels for God's new Creations.

Let that sink in for a moment! You see, he was exhorting all of us to submit to the process of deep, substantive, alchemical transformation, so that we can increasingly become channels for the transfiguration of humanity and the world.

It has always been His Vision for this Work that it serve to profoundly carve a channel for serving the enlightenment of humanity. But if a river is going to be powerful, and be around a very long time, it must be carved deeply. That takes time! It takes the impeccable skill of a Master Carver, and if Jeshua is anything, he is, indeed, that Master.

What is unfolding in this Work is but the new, next phase of His Vision; part of His plan for the Atonement of Humanity. I am not its Creator, but its servant. I followed where He led, and know well just how deep this carving must go! And, of most important, my Work is an offering of all that has been gleaned that can dramatically and effectively quicken anyone's journey of healing and awakening. Now, its also time to develop leadership educational programs to help others awaken to their unique purpose, and discover how to ground it into the world.

And, its time to train other teachers in His Work, that I have called the Way of Mastery.

The stakes are high, and the end certain. We are all here for one reason: to awaken, to heal, to serve, and to carve channels for God's New Creation. Whether you call it the New Jerusalem, Heaven on Earth, or the Atonement, it is quickening, and the need is great!

The Way of Mastery is this: love, serve, heal, awaken, and live the Vision each and every being intuits in the depth of their soul. Behold, the time is at hand.
