Transformative rituals
You’re familiar with the word spiritual. The word ritual is contained within it. If you are a spiritual being, you are capable of performing transformative rituals. Of course, we are all spiritual beings, but what I mean here is that you are also aware of this and experience it. Rituals arise from the spirit, and are supported and initiated by you as a physical being. There is always a spiritual dimension involved. You are aware of that connection and that you are your soul; you know that you have guides who assist you. That is a prerequisite for a ritual such as the type described on this website. In a transformative ritual, your own consciousness is of crucial importance. You must possess spiritual awareness and a spiritual connection; these are the primary driving forces behind the ritual on this Earth.
A second characteristic of a ritual, as referred to on this website, is that you wish to bring about a change on a non-physical level that relates to inner growth. There may well be other ways of dealing with this or of helping someone else. A ritual is then one of the options. It may also be the case that a ritual is the only option, as might be the case with a purpose concerning a deceased person. There is much more scope for working on inner growth through rituals than we currently do, for example, to learn how to deal with difficult emotions and beliefs. Rituals could also work wonderfully with children. If we incorporate the spiritual dimension when dealing with emotions, mental knots and blockages, rituals can achieve far more than we realise.
A third characteristic of the transformative rituals described here is spiritual assistance. By spiritual assistance, I mean extra forces and beings that you call upon to help bring about the ritual’s purpose. You let other energies and beings do the work. They need to be prompted to do so. That is what the ritual is for. That is usually how it works on Earth too: you ask someone for help, and then that person comes to help. It is the same in the spiritual world. There are a great many beings and forces you can call upon, who are happy to come and help you, but who will only do so upon request. If they can manage it on their own, no ritual is needed. In that case, a request that is well-focused, filled with good energy and intention, and in harmony with your soul, is sufficient. In a transformative ritual, however, you bring forces and beings together. This opens up additional possibilities. A ritual such as that described on this website is a collaboration between spiritual Earth beings and beings from the spheres, with the aim of doing good and helping others. That is why the words ritual and spiritual are so closely linked: in a ritual, spiritual forces work together towards a common goal. That goal must, however, genuinely require such assistance.
A transformative ritual is quite an undertaking. It involves quite a lot. As long as you feel that you can simply ask for help, lay on hands, send positive energy, or call upon other elements or beings to assist with something, I wouldn’t be quick to create a ritual myself.
Creating a ritual setting to achieve the right atmosphere is also a form of creation, but that is not the level referred to here. This is about a new form of ritual that is far more powerful than the rituals we are accustomed to in Western culture. We have forgotten that it is possible. This is a field that remains largely unexplored in the Western world. We can set out to rediscover this. People do sometimes draw on traditions from other parts of the world in this regard. That is, of course, fantastic. We can learn a great deal from them. But we can also become free and independent in this regard. The text in this section of the website hopes to contribute to this.
