GUIDELINES FOR INITIATION AND INITIATES
THE PATH OF SOUND AND LIGHT

“The Sound Current is the 'audible life stream' of which is the Holy Spirit and living presence of God. It is the ultimate substance of all creation."

“The Holy Spirit has light; in addition to light, this energy current also has its own characteristic sound, which we can learn to hear within us.”

“A spiritual teacher initiates selected students into the meditative tradition and spiritual chakra or level they have mastered. They then serve as wayshowers who can literally take their students to that level and guide them towards their own eventual mastery of that level.”

“Sound Current teachers teach their students a meditative technique that will assist them to focus at the ‘third eye’ chakra, which is the seat of the soul in the physical body and the doorway into the higher realms.”

“Once we are initiated into the Sound Current, it will draw us upward (in meditation) through and beyond the lower realms into its own origin in the spiritual realms—in the very heart of God.”

BEFORE APPLYING FOR ILM INITIATION
For those interested in becoming initiated into The Path of Sound and Light, the following materials and events are suggested in order to understand this spiritual path and to familiarize oneself with Jim Gordon and Brian Yeakey, and with ILM:
  1. ILM books, The Staff of the Shepherd, Love and Loving and The Knowing of God, by Jim Gordon (and others as they become available);
  2. ILM audio recordings and CDs: The Path Of Sound And Light; Understanding The ‘Inner’ Pathway; A Simple Way—The Path Of ILM; and Keys Of Initiation With Jim And Brian (and other tapes/CDs on initiation as they become available);
  3. ILM newsletters;
  4. Attendance at ‘live’ ILM lectures, classes, workshops and retreats.

Initiation is about awakening beyond this realm of illusion, beyond this realm of time and space, to the Spirit of Loving within yourself. And as you awaken to that Spirit of Loving within yourself you will awaken to the Loving in all things, in all creation, and into the realms of pure Spirit—awakening to the fullness of God directly. That is the greter journey that we move into and experience through initiation in the Path of Sound and Light.
