The teaching of theWAY is referred to as Wayism by languages who use the -ism suffix.
*According to theWAY, senior soul beings come to the human experience to evolve into immortal spiritual beings. That is the purpose and meaning of human life on Earth. All humans are here for that purpose only. Human refer to this school of divinity for soul beings as the Butterfly Path because the analogy is suitable, of how a soul (like a caterpillar) is gradually metamorphosed into an entirely different kind of being (butterfly). *
Wayism is the personal life philosophy, mysticism, and lifestyle that flows from teachings of theWAY. People of theWAY, or Wayists in the world of isms, believe that advanced soul beings can evolve here on Earth to be reborn as spiritual beings. To this purpose, spiritual beings from the spiritual heaven which we know by a Sanskrit description, Sukhavati, created this school of divinity for souls on Earth. Sukhavati means “Land of Pure Bliss”.
Soul beings from elsewhere in our galaxy come here to attend the School by incarnating as human beings. On Earth, the school is referred to as Butterfly Path, which is a simile of how the caterpillar (soul) matures (in wisdom) over time is metamorphosed into an entirely different type of being, a butterfly. All humans are on Butterfly Path. All grades of students share the same space and derive wisdom from human experiences over many lifetimes. theWAY teaches that the main spiritual skills and powers which soul beings will master are rooted in Humility, Simplicity, and Compassion.
Junior students on Butterfly Path are much closer to their inherent soul nature, which motivates them to prioritize power-seeking behavior and competing to hoard resources, and to dominate others in order to secure the material resources they wish to exploit. As they mature, they move away from their lower-self nature and towards their higher-self nature.
The teaching of theWAY explains that the human is the only hybrid form. It has soul, but also holds spiritual potential which flourishes when the soul awakens, embracing love for the divine and all other living beings. The soul is the lower-self, and the spirit is the higher-self. The path to becoming an immortal spiritual being involves sanctifying the soul with spiritual energy, and finally merging of the sanctified soul with the newly formed spirit.
Junior students always outnumber seniors on the campus. Therefore, juniors dominate democratic institutions and make interesting life experiences for all to learn from.
Junior souls manufacture the religions, wars, world orders, and empires to serve their base needs. Over time, they mature in spirit and move away from that. It is through human experiences that we learn the wisdom and spiritual skills needed to graduate from this School, and become immortal spiritual beings.
There is only one School at a time. Presently, the immortals host it on Earth and the animal body used for the purpose is the humanoid form.
When junior students have created tyrannical regimes that obscure cognitive awareness of the Path, some immortals will incarnate as humans to help restore the truth.
All human experiences are learning opportunities. Therefore, we will necessarily incarnate to experience all genders, races, ethnicities, and socio-economic classes, to learn from the widest possible variety of experiences.
When the planet becomes unviable to host Butterfly Path, the deities, immortals, will move the school elsewhere — as they have done before. Butterfly Path School came to Earth between 15 and 18,000 years ago — from which time the hybrid soul / spirit humans became dominant in the humanoid species.
Spiritual beings of our species are, in essence, beneficent, caring, and helpful. They function as what we can describe in our frame of reference as somewhat like, ‘personal care givers to soul beings across our galaxy’. All are Energy. The deities of our species are energy healers and energy workers who specialize in helping soul-energy beings.
When we become immortal spiritual beings, we are freed from the metaphysical Law of Samsara. Samsara determines that all soul beings will perpetually reincarnate into organic animal bodies of all kinds. All life forms, on all planets, are said to be alive because of an incarnated soul.
There are many millions of different soul species, and several thousand species of spiritual beings.
Soul beings are mortal; each species has a determined life span.
Spiritual beings have indeterminate life spans, they are said to be immortal.
In the human, the soul is said to be the lower-self and the spirit is the higher-self. When the two become one, we are ‘reborn’, or remade, as immortal spiritual beings.
The label “soul-people” is given to junior students who are dominated by their lower-self and soul nature. “Spirit-people”, also known as senior students, are dominated by their higher-self and spirit nature.
The metaphysical Law of Karma regulates our curriculum on Butterfly Path. Like an advanced AI, perhaps, the metaphysical law is aware of our energies and sense what learning opportunities we may need in terms of human experiences, to help us develop the wisdom to correct our ways, and learn higher skills. Karma decides where, and with which family, and which culture and social setting, our next incarnation will be.
Because there are several metaphysical laws that govern how our school works, there is no God or deity who would or shall interfere with or manipulate the school system — it works perfectly.
Everything is energy. Soul beings and spiritual beings have “aethereal” energy bodies of very different types of energy. The energies of material bodies are again different. All three types of energy can, and sometimes do, coexist in the same space, even in the same material body or structure.
We are destined to a spiritual domain where we will exist as immortals, and from where we will do the work that we qualify for by attending Butterfly Path.
Students who decide to drop out of school, or persistently don’t make the grade, are not returned to the human experience. They go back to the soul domain whence they came. The religions speak of being expelled from, or refused re-entry to, the School as being “cast down to hell”. It may be “hell” from a human point of view, but it is not a punishment. It is where the soul came from — normal life in that domain of existence simply is what it has always been.
People of theWAY live their spirituality through everyday life experiences. For us, there is meaning and purpose in everything — life is purposeful and meaningful.
We are on a dynamic growth Path, and junior students create the governments and many institutions. Therefore, we must follow the Wayist maxim, “Own Your Own Mind, for if you don’t, someone else will.” We live our spirituality not only in becoming masters of soul and spirit-energy management, and nurturing our connections with Divine energies, but in constantly striving to improve our self-reflection, self-knowledge, self-control, and do self-craft. This is the process of evolving the soul into an immortal spiritual being.
Wayism is not, and has never been, an organized religion — it’s a personal life philosophy that acknowledges the Path all humans are on.
Therefore, People of theWAY don’t have ready access to organized group activities and peer support. We must create it within our own means, whether online or at home. Because we Own Our Own Mind and do not adhere to most of the ideologies instituted by religions, politics and commerce, we have forever faced opposition from them. For that reason, theWAY teaching thrives in the temple of one’s heart and spirit-minds, where it is safe and sacred, no matter what they do with our books and structures.
Overall, the teaching of theWAY is a powerful and life-affirming path that embraces the beauty of diversity and personal growth. It is a path that leads to deep inner wisdom, compassion, and a lasting connection to the divine.
Wayism has no need to advertise or seek members because all humans are by default on the Path. By virtue of your human birth, something which you chose and had applied for, you are on the Path. The brain-mind of your present body does not have to know the Path because it is through the lived experiences in the human condition that we develop our soul skills and spiritual wisdom skills — the brain-mind notwithstanding.
All human experiences are your learning opportunities to one day graduate from this school. When Karma decides that you need to become a “cognitive Wayist,” is when the student is ready, and the teacher will appear. You will encounter deeper Wayist teaching and mysticism, and fall in love with it.
