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.

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.

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.

Prayers are Energy

 This is a beautiful thought from William LePar’s spiritual source, The Council.

 

Prayers are Energy

Questioner:  Prayers are energies, then?

 The Council:  That should be no surprise.  Everything is energy; everything

is energy.

 Questioner:  And prayers would be so filled with love energy?

 The Council:  Yes.  Very positive, very positive thing, prayer.

 Questioner:  I don't understand how that would work, how that could be such an aid, help?

 The Council:  Well, if you could understand what the existence is at this level, then it would not be hard at all, but just think of it as a ball of total love, positive, of God, of all the beautiful things, all the holy things; and as that ball hovers over you, you have the option to accept it and put it into your heart, and it helps you shine out.  It enters your body or your system or your soul or your spirit and radiates outward.  It acts as an amplifier when your, shall we say, batteries are down a little.  It brings new life, new hope, into you, new strength. It clears out the old fog and allows the Divine to speak with you; but since it is a part of your soul, since it is a part of God, you must remember that when you reach a level of being able to pray for others out of love, God is talking to you and He is using you as an instrument, He is flowing His energies through you into that prayer; and you are directing it to a specific person or a specific thing; and if those things or persons do not wish to accept it, then it goes to someone else who is needy; and it will go until it is accepted.  None of God's efforts are in vain.

A Christmas Video

 Here is our Christmas video. We think you will find this enlightening. For more, visit WilliamLePar.com

https://youtu.be/XJ7iR8D_h0U

In the Beginning – Part 5

In this portion of The Council’s dissertation on creation, William LePar’s spiritual source talks about man’s entrance into the physical. Again, we recommend reading the previous parts for a complete understanding of this topic.

Questioner:  When was the time that the spirit came into the physical and where?  What geographical location did the spirit first descend into man?

The Council:  Time as to when this occurred cannot be stated because it goes beyond, you see, years that are even recordable, that are even recordable.  So we cannot give you a time.  If you wanted some relationship, then you could say that it would have been, shall we say, in the area that is generally described as the Garden of Eden, but these are, shall we say, points that is a place that is recognized.  You must realize that Adam and Eve or life did not start in a place but there is an entrance of life in many places.  And since that time till now, shall we say, there has been a definite change in the shape and surfaces of the land.  For us to say that life started here or there is absolutely foolish because much of that land is not there now.  But there was not a single life that started and then developed the whole earth.  You see?

In the Beginning – Part 4

 Here is a continuation of The Council’s description of creation given during one of William LePar’s trances. We recommend reading the previous parts of this dissertation for complete understanding of this subject.

Questioner:  Why did the spirit choose to exist in the physical?

The Council:  Spirit did not, shall we say, choose to exist.  Its own selfishness encrusted itself, entrapped itself in the physical. Because its source of life, its source of existence, it selfishly or, shall we say, for greedy reasons decided to usurp or overextend itself and thus that source of energy was cut off by its own greed and thus it fell into a need for more gross existence.  It then became necessary for it to have a container for itself, so it would no longer be dissipated.

Questioner:  Well, at the time this happened there must have been many, many spirits that became selfish.

The Council:  To be sure.  There is much to be said in the story of the fall of Lucifer. These stories are not fables, but they are an explanation of a division in the heavenly forces at a time.

Questioner:  Then I take it that all spirits were created at the same time?

The Council:  More or less, yes.

Questioner:  Well, are there ever any new spirits being created?

The Council:  No.  "New spirits" are, shall we say, those entities who have not found it necessary to reincarnate as often as, shall we say, the older ones.  The older spirits are the lazier, because you cannot just sit on the, shall we say, the outer realms and wait for a choice opportunity.  The time now is somewhat different, but you do not just sit and wait or come and go in the material as you choose.  There is a definite, shall we say, form of entering and exiting.  There is, shall we say, a panel that help you.  Now we are using very loose terms here so that it will give you a better idea that you do not just float in and out as you choose.  You have done very little to start with even with guidance.  How much would have been accomplished if you were all left to your own resources, to your own desires?

 

In the Beginning – Part 3

Here we have part three of The Council’s description of the beginning of creation before we, as spirit beings existed. If you have not read the previous parts, we believe it would be helpful to read that part also.

Now, there has been much talk about forces and vibrations and energies, and possibly if one were to understand these forms as conscious states or states of consciousness that express in the form of electromagnetic forces or what could be referred to as heavenly electricity or spiritual electricity, capable in its descending complements, taking more solid form.  As the vibration lowers, it becomes more dense.  As the spiritual electricity descends and passes through greater resistance it becomes, shall we say, more dense.  And so then this first Creation, this Light sent out to be a companion with the Divine Source, was given the right and the position and the power to create then even more.  So from this Source then other souls, other entities, other electro-spiritual beings were created in, shall we say, likeness to its creating Source, but not in quantity, or not in, shall we say, the position of having the same power or amount of power or ability.  But these beings, these souls, these entities were created in a perfect state and they were in full accord with the Divine Will of their Source.  They experienced a totality of Creation, of Divinity, that was inspiring to them.  Their will was free as their will today is free.  And in their awareness of the goodness, the unitedness of all their beings, they were content in living in the accord or living with the accord of the Divine Will, and in this state they expressed freely within this Divine Will.  Each expressing somewhat differently.  Each finding its own, shall we say, awareness, its own personality.  Each growing in this communal situation, free to move, to come, to go, to grow as each willed.

In the Beginning – Part 2

 In the Beginning – Part 2

 Here we have part two of The Council’s description of the beginning of creation before we, as spirit beings existed. If you have not read part one, we believe it would be helpful to read that part also.

In this existence then the Divine Force desired to, shall we say, express, to create, and in this desire then the Ultimate Father or Divine Source desired companionship.  So one might say then the Divine Spirit, the Infinite Father, made a decision to create, shall we say, a separate vibration, yet very much part of itself, and in the instigation of this thought then a facet of this Divine Essence separated into a manifestation of a Force that was the creative expression, the accumulation then of this love portion was brought into, shall we say, a pinnacle or a point, and from this point then those peaceful and harmonious vibrations would be sent out or formed in a manner that would present a companionship for the Divine Force.  And so one may say then that a Light was formed, the first expression of this Divine Mind or this Divine Spirit, the first manifestation of that Spirit.  Today man recognizes this as the First Son who, shall we say, emanated from that Spirit, from that Source, and this was truly a magnificent Light or Being because it was composed of the Creative Love and it was composed from the Creative Love of this Divine Source, and so then this is the first Creation or the First Son of the Infinite Father. And so this Divine Source realizing that it reached, shall we say, a satisfaction or some fulfillment from this Creation, it gave rights to that first Creation to manifest then even more creation.

In the Beginning – Part 1

 In the Beginning – Part 1 –

The following is William LePar’s spiritual source, The Council, explaining what existence was in the very beginning, before all of us beings were created. This is given in six parts because of the length of their explanation and the complications of the subject. We have included the sentence that began every trance that Mr. LePar gave in his more than four decades of channeling The Council.

The Council: May the Peace and the Joy of the Infinite Father be with you all and may His Light shine down upon you and around you and within you.

As we see here there would be the need for further information. To give you all, somewhat, a greater insight into the beginning of all things, we have decided to in some way explain so that it would be in the grasp of your thinking some enlightenment into those things that existed in the very beginning.  To put into finite words the existence of the Divine Creator before all that man recognizes now would leave much to be desired as far as a greater or more in-depth understanding because that mind with which man understands at a conscious level is extremely limited in its scope or in its grasp. One might compare the very beginning, or that state prior to any manifestation of anyone but God Himself, could be likened into a vast sea that encompassed everything even beyond (static on tape). This vast sea would then be in essence the Spirit of the God or the Force, the discerning energy that occupies all of space and all of time.  This would be then the Omnipotent, the Omniscient, and the Omnipresent.  This is the source of all, the Universal Force, the Whole, the very essence of all that you consider life, so that one might say that this is the Mind of God that encompasses the total life energy.  So that the vibrations that make up the atomic structure, so to speak, is the manifestation of that creative force or the Creator.  Even in this one would have to consider it, shall we say in its gross expression.  The essence of this Spirit or this Creative Power does not change.  Only the force or the form, only the form of the manifestation changes.  This we could consider the first existence of God the Infinite Father, the Divine Force, the Ultimate Vibration.

Help from the Spirit World – Part 4

This is the final part of our four-part series on healing from the spirit world. We hope that you have found it informative.

Questioner:  Yes, I would like to add here though that there are individuals who have some rather serious health problems who never mention their particular problem to any individual.

The Council:  This is not always good.  There is a time when one should share  problems with others.  There are some individuals who constantly talk about their sickness or their problem; then there are those who go the opposite.  If there is a physical problem, one should be willing to share it with others, not to the extent that ani individual becomes tired of hearing about it, but these are things that should not be kept to oneself.  First of all, if there is a true sickness or an ailment, those who are sick or ailing are deserving of extra attention, consideration, extra love, extra prayers; if one holds all this back, then they are depriving themselves of the additional help.  Do you understand?

Questioner:  Yes, I do.

The Council:  Plus, they may be depriving someone of the situation where they may offer their help.

Questioner:  I see, thank you very much.  That answers this series of questions.

The Council:  There is a point where a soul or an individual will complain about their ailment only to attract attention, but before that point is reached then one should not tire of hearing of those who are sick.  Sometimes sickness can bring great loneliness to the individual who is sick; it can be steeped in fear of what else will develop.  Those who are truly sick must have your consideration, your love, your interest.

Five Steps to Spirituality Summary

 This is William LePar’s spiritual source, The Council’s, summary of the Five Steps to Spirituality that we have presented over the last several months.

 These five steps to spirituality will not always be easy to fulfill.  At times they will be very hard.  At other times, they will be a simple matter to accomplish.  These five steps will definitely cut against the old human nature that you may have had, but in the process they will begin to introduce a whole new nature to you.  They will begin to open your eyes to a more spiritual you into a more spiritual way of life.  These five steps, if applied, will not deprive you of anything but will teach you to more fully control yourself so that you have guidance over your own, so that you have a more full control of yourself, and in accomplishing this you accomplish a stronger human nature and a stronger spiritual nature.  A stronger human nature in the sense that you become more sensitive to those things around you, more aware of those things around you, those things that will help not only you to grow spiritually but will help others to grow also.  These are five steps that one must apply to themselves, to their lives, not on a half-hearted basis but one must make a commitment to keep these five points every day of their life.  When you first begin it may be hard at times to fulfill these commitments, but as time goes on one becomes stronger and stronger, and eventually they become such a part of you that it takes no effort whatsoever.  At that point then you can look back at what you are.  At that point then you can look back at what you WERE and see what you are.  You will then see that you are a new person a whole new being.  It is possible to correct all of your karmic debt in one lifetime, in this lifetime, so that you need never to reincarnate again, and these five steps, if one commits themselves to them, will most assuredly overcome all karma and any need for reincarnation, but you must be honest with yourself; you must be honest with yourself.  You will not be able to rationalize these things because in so doing you will end up only fooling yourself and no one else.

 

Five steps to spirituality.  Five steps that any man, woman, or child can apply to their lives, eliminating all karmic debt, eliminating ALL karmic debt, and making available to themselves a new being, more fully and more spiritually developed, one that will leave the material manifestation behind forever, one who most assuredly will be in the realms that the Infinite Father made, in His Schoolhouse of Learning they most assuredly will be very close to their at-one-ment with the Divine Source.  We present these five steps of spirituality to all of you with our blessings, in hopes that each of you will apply them in your lives and in so doing you and we will be united much sooner.  We thank you.

 

Five Steps to Spirituality – Part 5

This is William LePar’s spiritual source, The Council’s, fifth step of the Five Steps to Spirituality.

The Council: 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.

The next step in spiritual growth, this process, is:  Never accept any glories.  Remember, do what you must do.  Fulfill your responsibilities and your obligations in life.  Never wait around for that pat on the back.  Move on to your next challenge or your next step.  Many people who become involved in spirituality or in spiritual activities that are promoting spirituality make a problem for themselves.  It is bad enough that some of these people seek a reputation in the world, but it is even worse for these people when they seek a reputation among those people that they are involved with who may be attempting to bring a greater spirituality to others.  These spiritual movements are works dedicated to the Divine Source, and ultimately, these works are to bring glory to this Infinite Father.  Those who help are not permitted to take any part of those glories.  It is like this:  anyone who may serve or work for a commission, for what little bit of glory he can get out of it is a merchant, and he ought to be cast out of the temple. This can be applied to those money exchangers that are spoken of in the temple when the Christ them chased out.  They were not serving the people as a means of serving God; they were serving the people so that they could get their percentage out of it.

Remember, we must not be as the Pharisees were.  We must not stand before others beating our breasts and putting ashes on our forehead so that all may see how holy we are.  Do what you can do for others.  Do what you can for the Divine Source in the service to Him, but do not expect glories and praises.  All glories and praise belong to this Divine Source.  Those things that you can use in service for others and for the Divine are gifts that you have to help YOU grow, not to help you gain glories.

The Five Steps to Spirituality – Part 4

 This is William LePar’s spiritual source, The Council’s, fourth step of the Five Steps to Spirituality.

The Council: 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.

The next step:  Never pass anything on about anyone else that will hurt him.  Remember, a tale bearer has no place in the Divine's favor.  If you know anything that would hinder or hurt the reputation of one of God's children, bury it forever.  Wipe it from your mind and from your thoughts.  Remember, if you wish the Divine Source to be good to you, you must begin to be good to His other children.  Remember, the Divine Source invites you to a spiritual banquet, He invites you personally to sit at His table, but He expects you to have table manners.  He expects to teach you those table manners that you do not have, and remember He will not let you eat unless you obey the etiquette of the table that He has prepared for you.  Whatever you pass on that may hurt someone else, whatever little remark that you may carry that will hurt someone else you must immediately put away.  Bury it away so that it goes no further.  Do not add your own self to the hurt of others.  In the Divine Source's Eyes each of us is His child and He will not accept one child hurting another.

 

The Five Steps to Spirituality – Part 3

This is William LePar’s spiritual source, The Council’s third step of the Five Steps to Spirituality.

The Council: 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.

The third step is: Never defend yourself.  If you insist on defending yourself, no one will come to your aid.  Your whole defense will depend on your abilities and on your strength.  This Divine Source will not help you to defend yourself if you choose that.  If you choose to defend yourself, He will let you do it.  If you turn your defense over to this Divine Source, He will defend you.  As this Divine Source once said to Moses in Exodus 23, "I will be an enemy unto thine enemies and an adversary to thine adversaries."  If you leave your defense to the Divine Source, your enemies shall be His enemies, your adversaries shall be His adversaries, and you will never need to defend yourself for He will be your shield and your armor.  Many of us will defend talents that we may have; we may defend the service that we give, we may defend the reputation that we have.  Your reputation is what people think of you.  It is hard to overcome the temptation of defending your own reputation, but we must refrain from such things.  Whenever something unpleasant is said about one or another, and they attempt to seek out the truth or the source of the story, it becomes a hopeless task.  One thing leads to another, and once the point is defended or challenged, it only opens the door for more untruthful things to be said, and so then one must run again to seek down the source.  So it becomes an unending chase.  You cannot truly defend yourself from your adversaries.  You cannot defend yourself completely and wholly.  Leave this defense to your Divine Maker.  When those seek to challenge your reputation or your talents or some service you may have to perform for others.  Let them challenge it.  Do not waste your time in trying to prove that their challenges are wrong.  Let them say what they will, and go about your good duty your good service, your good talents.  The Divine Source will defend you far better than you could ever defend yourself.

The Five Steps to Spirituality – Part 1

 The Five Steps to Spirituality – Part 1

 What we are about to present, 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.

Mary the Mother of Jesus – Her Death

According to historians, Mary’s last days were spent in Ephesus, but no remains have ever been found. William LePar’s spiritual source, The Council, explains why. 

 Questioner:  Did Mary die a physical death?

 The Council: No, how could she?

 Questioner:  Well, I don't know.

 The Council:  A clarification on that.  She did die, but she also ascended. There are no physical remains.  You see, what you must take into consideration with the Blessed Mother is that she was born without sin.  The Bible states that she was born without original sin, which means she did not succumb to the temptations of the adversaries, so that she had no purpose or she had no, shall we say, commitment to enter the physical.  She had no need to enter the physical other than that of service to her Father, to God.  Although she is considered the Mother of God and the Queen of Heaven, you have to consider a dual role for the Mother of God and, that is, she is also a son of the Godhead, yet a Mother to the Godhead.  It becomes extremely involved.  One may attempt to explain the situation this way.  There is more to come as far as your understanding of heaven goes and all that lies within.  It is recognized now that you have God the Father and God the Son.  Very well.  God the Father in His own Being is androgynous, but just as you have God the Father, you must also have a God the Mother, which Mary fulfills then.  So although both are androgynous, one is subservient to the other, in that the feminine, that one recognized as Mary would be subservient to God the Father. It becomes extremely involved and complicated.  The Queen of Heaven is not equal to the Father of Heaven.  

Editor's note: Some of us have visited the site where her home was supposed to be. The story that we were told was that she was buried in a cave a short distance from her house but when people visited the cave later, there was no body, only lilies around the place where she was laid.

The Virgin Mary

 With the Lenten Season upon us, we thought that this would be a good time to present this dialogue to you. As the questioner mentions, many of us wondered why Mary had to remain a virgin. Here, the Council, William LePar’s tells us.

 Questioner:  I would like to ask a question, and I am sure that there are others who would ask the same question because we have so little knowledge of Mary.  Why was it necessary that she remain a virgin after the birth of Jesus?

The Council:  That can be quite an involved answer.  To put it as simply as is possible, there is a certain dignity brought to the material through the birth of Jesus Christ.  In other words, as God takes a humanly form, then this gives a dignity to humanity, to human life, that had not been there before.  Mary, the Mother of Heaven, the Pearl of God, is not, shall we say, an entity or a soul such as us or you; in other words, she did not fall from the Graces of the Divine; she did not accept the challenge as we have and as you have.  Do you understand?

Questioner:  Yes, I do.

 The Council:  Consequently, then her making entrance into the material was a total giving up of herself for the Divine Will of God.  Shall we say, an unnecessary acceptance of a crudeness or a density.  Even in this, because of her godliness and her love for her Maker, she would bring a glorification to that physical body that made it such that to produce flesh from that body would not be possible.  It becomes a very involved situation in explaining the purpose of creation.  One must also take into account the fact that reproduction as man now knows it, co-creating with God as man now knows it, was never intended to be such, but a soul or an entity or a being can create within themselves when in perfect balance, and in the birth of Jesus Christ through Mary, then that soul took the feminine aspect while the Divine Spirit took the male aspect and created then a physical body for the Lord Jesus Christ.  Now, the soul or the being that created the physical body of Mary was and is perfected.  There was no need for that soul to enter a physical manifestation and since that soul could create in cooperation with Divine Spirit, the Divine, the Godhead, then it could not be contaminated by the physical creation or cycle of creation.  Do you understand that?

 Questioner:  Yes.

The Council:  Now this is not to degrade a husband and wife creating or procreating.  This is an honor and a privilege that has been given to you.  This is your way of manifesting and creating like gods, but it is, shall we say, a very small degree of creation, where the soul Mary did not deserve the physical body because of her perfection and did not need a physical body and did not need another soul to create with in order to make a combined action.  Do you understand this?

This is all tied in with the masculine and feminine aspects and the creations as we have talked before.  So you have a perfected soul then co-creating as you do but instead of with a, shall we say, imperfect soul, Mary co-created with The Perfected Soul or The Perfected Being and that is God.  In so doing then she could not touch physical creation.  Now to answer why she could not touch physical creation can become extremely involved and would end up in more confusion.
