Spirituality Defined

 The following gives William LePar's source, The Council's, views on spirituality. Hopefully, this information will be useful to you.

The Council: Spirituality. Some of you express an interest in spirituality. Some of you say that you are on a quest for spirituality. Some of you say that you wish to be spiritual. But what is spirituality and how do we attain it? It is very simple. It must be simple, it must be very obvious. It must be staring us right back into our faces if we have an All-Loving and Forgiving God, an All-Loving and Forgiving Divine Presence, and since we do, then spirituality is before us. If we cannot see it, if we cannot understand it, if we cannot reach out and bring it into ourselves, it is because we choose to be blind to the love that this Infinite and Divine Presence has for us.

What is spirituality? It should be obvious and yet how very, very few see the obvious. Spirituality is but an attitude, an attitude towards oneself and an attitude towards life or to those around us. How do we attain spirituality? If spirituality is an attitude, then to attain it we simply bring that attitude into us, make it a part of our nature. Not something we talk about, but something that we do something about.

 

What is this great secret, this attitude, this mystifying miracle maker? It is as simple as this: Do nothing to someone else you would not want done to yourself. That means then you must be caring, you must be loving, you must be honest, you must be faithful, and you must be a responsible individual. That sums up spirituality, yet for as simple as it is, for as obvious as it is, those who choose not to see what lies before them are numbered in the frequency of raindrops hitting the face of the earth in any given storm. Infidelity to oneself translates to infidelity to all other aspects of that individual's life.

The Cayce-LePar Purpose

By Denny J. Highben

“There is seen, there is being laid out plans for a work that as given is to change the thought of mankind in general in many directions.” Edgar Cayce reading 254-37

The Council reinforced many concepts through their years of speaking to physical man through the deep trance communications of William Allen LePar. From the frequent reminder that we are the beloved children of the Divine Creator to the fact that we are much too focused on the material world -- which is an illusion -- this union of 12 evolved souls constantly sought to guide mankind to higher levels of awareness.

One of those concepts: There are no accidents, no coincidences. We can never fully understand how that can be, confined to the limits of our physical consciousness. I guess this is an example of taking something on faith.

An incident that happened to me recently reignited my imagination: Was this a coincidence? Couldn’t be, because I trust The Council… As Bill once noted, more than a million words of dialogue with them and no contradictions… but why now, and what am I supposed to do about it? With it?

I decided the best thing to do with it is share. If you believe there ARE coincidences in life, then this may be just an amusing story. If you believe there are no coincidences, then you may sense a significance in this event.

To appreciate this, some background is in order. I am loath to throw any papers away, for they may hold a thought, a note or a quote that may someday be exactly what I seek. Of course, there are so many containers of disorganized paper that I rarely – RARELY – find just the right piece at just the right time. Right now, I can only think of two incidents where my proclivity of pack-ratting has paid off.  A couple years ago, I “accidentally’ found that I had an old notebook of a SOL Associate. In there was confirmation that The Council used a specific phrase to honor LePar’s ability to maintain a Christ-like attitude at his place of employment, despite the harassment he endured. (The specifics are too long for this space, but the story is explained in chapter 26 of “William Allen LePar, The Spiritual Rosetta Stone for the End of Our Age.”)

The second incident was this summer.

In yet another effort to conquer my lifelong weakness as a packrat, I had attacked a container of papers and files. I dumped the contents of one large envelope onto my desk, and somehow got distracted (again) and never really looked at what those contents were. Turned out it was an envelope of very old materials from the Association for Research and Enlightenment, the non-profit founded by Edgar Cayce. Not sure where it came from or how long it has been in my possession. I was never a member, and until I encountered LePar and The Council I was perfectly content to ignore and occasionally ridicule all things spiritual. My life was fine believing Darwin was right, science is right, and when you die, it is all over. The fat lady has sung.

Thinking back, I have to conclude that these photocopies had been given to me by a SOL Associate who had been a member of ARE, so I could see the similarities between LePar’s situation and that of Cayce.

A few days later, with this pile still in front of me as I worked, I noticed one statement from the Cayce readings that astounded me. It was at the bottom of a flyer copyrighted in 1971: “There is seen, there is being laid out plans for a work that as given is to change the thought of mankind in general in many directions.”

It seemed like a double whammy. The quote came from Cayce’s source in May 1944, when LePar was a little boy growing up in Canton, Ohio. The copyright date, 1971, was a year before the deep trance phenomenon first overwhelmed LePar. I quickly contacted SOL and requested any comment from LePar’s source, The Council, on Egar Cayce. On September 19, 1987, The Council opened the 149^th trance this way:

The Council: “A number of you have found an interest in the Cayce experience. And some of you have wondered if there was a connecting link between that particular experience in time and this one. Yes, there is.

 “At that time, the world on a broader scale had to be made aware of influences beyond the physical form or the earthly manifestation. To do so, it had to deal with individuals as such to bring a greater validity to the fact that your physical world exists within the real world or the real creation which is the spiritual plane. …

 

“The Cayce experience fulfilled its time in allowing the world on a greater scale than has been understood or has been touched before that when the soul passes from the physical plane to the spiritual plane, it is still alive and well, that some entities, some souls, some creations of God, are still interested in the physical plane to the degree that they are willing to communicate with that plane, with those individuals who are still entrapped in the physical world.

“What is the purpose of these experiences then? The purpose is to take the Cayce experience one step higher. The world as a whole knows that there is an existence after the experience called death. Now the time has come to bring a general element to the information or the guidance from the heavenly realms. Instead of dealing with individuals, this experience deals with general conditions, and because of this, because of the nature of the information and its purpose, its intention, all questions answered are answered in a general form so that they are useful not only to you who may ask it but to all of those who are here and all of those who will not be fortunate enough ever to experience something such as this.”

The “general element” which The Council has added to mankind’s awareness of spiritual reality is profound in its breadth, depth and value. Looking at the world as it is, The Council’s intervention is certainly no accident, no coincidence. 

William Allen LePar, The Spiritual Rosetta Stone For the End of Our Age

 "William Allen LePar, The Spiritual Rosetta Stone For the End of Our Age" from Newman Springs Publishing explores an extraordinary spiritual phenomenon.

Denny J. Highben has authored a new book examining the remarkable life of William Allen LePar, a man whose inexplicable episodes of deep sleep became a gateway to profound spiritual communication. Beginning with a single disorienting moment that transformed into a decades-long mystery, LePar's journey would ultimately challenge everything we believe about consciousness, reality, and divine revelation. Through meticulous documentation and firsthand accounts, Highben reveals how these mysterious episodes unfolded over more than thirty years, connecting two dimensions of existence in ways that continue to astound and inspire.

Highben's career in journalism—spanning four decades and earning multiple accolades from both the Associated Press and United Press International— uniquely positioned him to chronicle this unprecedented story with both journalistic rigor and spiritual sensitivity. As a Marine Corps veteran and cum laude graduate of Kent State University, Highben brought credibility and depth to his investigation, serving as a direct witness to many episodes contained within these pages. His earlier works, including “Three Worlds Lost” and “On The Brink: The Coming of Aids”, established him as a trusted voice exploring the intersections of spirituality and human experience.

"William Allen LePar, The Spiritual Rosetta Stone For the End of Our Age" presents revelations that are at once unsettling and profoundly encouraging, offering readers a complete reassessment of humanity's place in the cosmos. As an age of conventional thinking draws to a close, this stirring account demonstrates that mankind transcends materialism and embraces a far nobler destiny than a purposeless existence. Readers will discover through LePar's testimony that spiritual truth operates beyond the boundaries of traditional religion, answering questions that have haunted humanity throughout history while inviting us to reconsider our understanding of consciousness itself.

 

"This book represents more than thirty years of documented spiritual communication that fundamentally challenges our understanding of reality," said Highben. "I've witnessed firsthand how these experiences transformed not just William Allen LePar's life, but the lives of many who encountered them. I felt compelled to preserve this extraordinary story for future generations who will need these answers as our world undergoes profound transformation."

Published by Newman Springs Publishing, Highben's enlightening work invites readers into one of history's most compelling spiritual mysteries. This revelation equips seekers with a fresh perspective on consciousness, divine intervention, and humanity's spiritual destiny during a pivotal moment in our collective evolution.

Readers who wish to experience this transformative work can order "William Allen LePar, The Spiritual Rosetta Stone For the End of Our Age" at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes Store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.

Part 1 - Five Steps to Spirituality

 The Five Steps to Spirituality – Part 1

 

What we are about to present, over the next several weeks, are William LePar’s spiritual source, The Council’s, Five Steps to Spirituality. This information was given as a complete set at one trance session. The entire trance session is presented in six parts. We begin with The Council’s opening statement about the five steps and proceed to the first step.

The Council:  May the Peace and the Joy of the Infinite Father be upon you, and May his Light shine down upon you and around you and within you.

What we are about to give you are 5 Steps to Spirituality.  If you take these five steps and apply them to your life, much spiritual growth can be accomplished.  In fact, one can accomplish a degree of spirituality that most have only dreamed of.  What we will give you will be the five steps and a few basic guidelines to each step.  These guidelines can help you expand these steps even further.  If one makes a commitment to apply these five steps in their everyday life, we can guarantee that you will grow spiritually much more than you have ever dreamed.  We can guarantee that you will truly become a new and whole being.  You will be much closer to your Divine Source than you have ever dreamed possible.

The first step is the most important and is the one that takes a great deal of honesty with oneself.  One must deal with this first step as honestly as is humanly possible for all others build on this first step.

The first step is: What emotions or attitudes or thoughts are now presently separating me from my Divine Source?  Or what emotions, thoughts, or attitudes are not within the Divine Will?

When reviewing one's self, consider such things as jealousy. Are you a jealous person or are you jealous of other people?  Are you jealous of what others have?

Self-pity is another point to consider.  Do you feel as though you are not appreciated?  Do you feel that you are some undiscovered flower in an oasis in the middle of a desert that mankind has not yet been blessed to see and smell your sweet scent? This is self-pity.  Are you resentful?  Do you find yourself in a state of sputtering indignation most of the time?  Do you find that people do not appreciate you or feel that you are not appreciated, and does this bother you?  Do you feel that you should be appreciated more than what you are?

Temper.  Do you have an uncontrolled temper?  Does your temper lead you to spiteful activities or actions against others? Remember, if you do not get rid of your temper, then your temper will get rid of much of your spirituality and certainly all of your joy. These are just a few points that you may look at, but there are many others that one must consider.  What you are to do, as you look over these points, as you review yourself, you must be willing to admit to yourself that these truly are not godly activities or spiritual activities or activities that are within the Divine Will. Be honest with yourself.  Do not try to rationalize those things that you know about yourself.  Admit to yourself that these are acts of separation, that these are stumbling blocks between you and the return to your Divine Source and your rightful place within the Presence of your God.

Universal Being Conference - October 10th 2026 - Piercing the Veil

Our sources are The Council, the union of 12

of our brethren who spoke to physical man

through the catatonic-state trance communications

of William Allen LePar, and LePar himself.

He was already years into his service as a

spiritual counselor and deep trance sensitive

when, in 1979, the Life After Death Research

and Study Group began. The trances were not

easy on him, but he knew their value is beyond

our ability to truly appreciate in this life. It is

SOL’s job, as LePar once wrote, “to let people

know about this information so they can begin

to put it into practice in their life. By doing so

they will eliminate many stumbling blocks and

unnecessary hard times in their life and in their

existence on the other side.” 

The conference is at LaPizzaria,

3656 Dressler Rd. NW, Canton, Ohio.

Registration begins at 8:30, and the first

presentation begins at 9.

We all have the same opportunities - William LePar's book - Mastering Life

 Mr. LePar offers some powerful thoughts to begin this section:

“I don’t care what conditions you were born into. I don’t care whether you were born into abject poverty or an abundance of wealth. I don’t care if you were born into a condition where there was great sadness in your family or great joy. It’s immaterial in the final analysis because at the point of birth, that was the hand that was dealt to you. The beauty of life is that we have free will and with that free will, we can change anything. Fate is what you came in with, but you make your destiny. You are not condemned to those conditions that you were born into. You have the free will choice, and with that choice, right thinking and positive action, you can create whatever destiny you want. Remember, after all is said and done, you are a god in the small, and you have a great deal of control over your destiny by the choices you make. If you want happiness, genuine happiness not temporary happiness, if you want spirituality, you make the choices now so that your destiny is what you desire.”

This message beautifully reinforces the central theme of this chapter: that while we enter life with certain conditions—our “fate”—we are never bound by them. Free will is the great gift that allows us to shape our destiny. No matter the circumstances of our birth, no matter the challenges we inherit, we retain the power to choose our direction. Through right thinking and positive action, we can transform our lives into expressions of joy, purpose, and spiritual growth.

An Easter Message from The Council

 Whenever a trance occurred close to Easter or Christmas, the Council would give us a special message pertaining to the season. The following is an example of one of their messages at Easter time.

The Council: At this time of the year man chooses to celebrate an event that is the crowning glory of all that there is. From the beginning of time the Father gave man a Promise and so it was through all the ages, through all the eternities, God the Father kept His Promise. In that time something less than two thousand years ago, the Father sent His Love, His Divine Love into the physical, into the earth plane creating an actual, living human being, this was Jesus the Christ. And through His years living a life that was done so to make it easy for all to reach a conscious level that is called the Christ Consciousness. His lifestyle is an example that each and every one of you should live. Do not become infatuated with Jesus the man but Jesus the Christ. The Christ or the Love did make its way in and across the earth through the man Jesus but one must remember that the man Jesus was the creation of the Christ or the Love of the Father. We are not detracting from the man or from Christ, but we are offering an explanation. Do not think less of one or more of the other. As He lived His life, so should you live your life, and His life was led by the Commandment which He gave you all as He gave us, and that is to love one another. Love one another to the point that if you are called upon, if you are called upon, to give up that life, you will gladly, you will gladly. In attempting to do this, in living an imitation of Christ's life with the sincerity in your heart, you will reach perfection. You are not asked to die on a cross. Many times we ask and we state that you destroy self, that you pick up your cross. We do not mean this in the literal words. We mean this in your day to day actions. Do what you must do to live a good life. Do not move away from it. Do not accuse others of your shortcomings. In your places of employment, do not use your positions to raise yourself. Do not use your positions to harass and destroy others for you. In your family by all means do not use your position whether it be a father, a mother, or a child to destroy another member of the family or to use other members of the family. This is not love, this is selfishness. Remember: this is the time of the year when man has chosen to celebrate the apex of the Christ Consciousness, the completion of the Christ Consciousness. Jesus Christ the God, Jesus Christ the Man did give His life, did suffer the tortures that man applied to Him, the lashes, the spitting, the insults, the carrying of the cross, to die a very humiliating death and then come above it and rise up with a newly created body, one that man's eyes could not quite understand, the perfection of the Christ Consciousness. The same perfection that all of you can obtain to a degree. Some may rise above death, but that will be very few. Know that when you enter death, you enter the new life. Be positive in your existence, so that when you enter the new life, the real life, you have some thread of the Christ Consciousness within you. At least be able to say to yourself that you have sincerely tried to live a Christ-like life. God the Father promised us a way from the very beginning of eternity, and He has kept His Promise. It is an easy way. Do not be so selfish that you cannot take advantage of the easy way that the Father has given you. Use the Love that He has given you. With this we wish to bless each and every one of you in our own way as God the Father has blessed us and as His Divine Son blesses us, we extend that which they gave us to you as a direct gift not from us but from them using us only as a channel. May the Blessings of the Father and His Son Jesus Christ be upon each and every one of you. Accept this and gain strength from it. Thank you very much. Accept the blessings of this time of year. Celebrate with joy in your heart the risen Christ.
