Thank you dear Reader for joining us in your present day. Oh joy it is to finally make your acquaintance!

We know not from which time you join us, so this journey may be considered quite “remedial” to some of you.

May we document for the record however, that of as of the writing of this book, you will not find the soul’s journey documented in the dictionary or encyclopedia on your shelf or even on those websites claiming to reference the popular knowledge of the day.

But you will find it tucked away in various literary texts of the spiritual gurus who have walked the plane before you. There are so many paths on which you may find yourself that the words of many might appeal to you and we couldn’t possibly begin to provide a recommendation on where to get started except to find the one who calls to your body’s cells in some particular way as for you to remember them or feel them above or before others.

In this way, we might introduce you to a phrase which has come to have a significant meaning in our own time and which might serve as good a place to start as any other.

Homo spiritus.

This term may come as quite a surprise to those who have called themselves homosapiens for as long as they learned what set humans apart from the animals. We find it useful to describe both the destination and the journey we have already started together whether One realizes it or not.

It is unclear to us when the phrase first received breath in your plane. We see it used by the Chassidic Rebbe and Psychiatrist Abraham Twerski, MD as early as 1993 in his papers about Judaism and that program containing 12 steps which resulted in the healing of so many from their addictions. We also see it in the teachings of one Dr. David Hawkins at the turn of the twenty-first century who made it popular with a generation of alternative holistic healers.

What is most important for the Reader to understand at this point is that “spiritus” translates from Latin loosely as “breath.” So as homo erectus (standing man) evolved to homo sapien (wise man) so do we now understand there is both an individual and collective evolution to homo spiritus (breath man). For those familiar with that book titled The Bible in all its variations, you can refer to Genesis “God blew into his nostrils a spirit of life, and man became a living being”(II.7) for one of the earliest references to this breath man.

Certainly homo spiritus have existed throughout all past and future time – individuals who are so blessed as to be connected to source in such a powerful way. But how were we to know when we were in the evolution to homo spiritus as a species? In reality, it happened so quickly. The flip was switched. Just like that. But most humans had to relearn the breath on their own to awaken to this evolutionary leap. And as always, some were much slower to relearn than others.

We believe it was the ancient Hawaiians, was it not, who first identified a disorder in the species. They knew the strange homo sapiens arriving on their island shores walked around like hungry ghosts and even called them as much – “Haole” or “ha ole” (without breath). But like many wise traditions of the Honu, the phrase was twisted to mean something different entirely by a society of hungry ghosts who didn’t understand the depth of what it meant.

Depending on your current trajectory, you may also find no reference to the state of dis-ease that came to be known as Human Breath Dysfunction (HBD). The diagnosis and treatment of HBD resulted in a significant collective jump of mainstream society in that map of consciousness coined by Dr. Hawkins. As individuals discovered their own HBD and realized how easy it was for them to self cure, the expansion of light and unfolding collective support that followed was considered quite remarkable even by unbelievers.

In point of fact, it made the large pharmaceutical and insurance corporations so nervous that they made considerable efforts to instill confusion in the masses and block progress of the homo spiritus that were beginning to appear everywhere. For what money is there to be made from people who realize there is nothing more to need or fear? But we are getting ahead of ourselves. Let us get back to the point in question.

Several indigenous tribes of the native North America revered the healing power of this place and shared in its bounty for hundreds of years. Weapons were set aside. Truces were established that allowed all to benefit from the Creator’s blessed Gift. Even then, there were those who realized how special some things are. Not meant to be controlled or owned, but to be nurtured and shared.

But for most of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries it was bought and sold by private landowners. Truly! We encourage you to look it up for yourself – as with all the names and references that appear in this book. Such a strange thing, this homo sapien need to dominate the land and divide it. Prior to implementation of the Pangea Land Trust and Land Use Stewardship Act … one moment please while we discuss. It appears that many of you are not yet familiar with that particular act. The Pangea governance system arose out of the ancient concepts of Malama’Aina, another wisdom understood early on, but temporarily forgotten. It evolved from the Bill of Responsibilities enacted to balance the Bill of Rights which homo sapiens had so proudly implemented to support their own species’ entitlement.

Once the pandemic of HBD no longer gripped the planet, humanity started to remember all sorts of ancient and natural wisdoms and the unhealthy patterns they realized had been conditioned into them began to shed. It’s as if everyone suddenly realized that the dogs of the One named Pavlov were not so different than themselves. They did not always know what needed to be shed or why. But homo spiritus realized by listening and nurturing our own bodies, we could reprogram the conditioned response loops that had kept us hurting ourselves and others for generations.

And as individuals evolved one by one, the collective responded in kind. The more support those in pain received, the more homo spiritus breathed to life and supported others in their own transition. And so it continues to rise even now. Since being brought into the fold of divine planning and protection, Crystal Hot Springs has been an essential part of the birth, healing and restoration of more than 974,589,430 souls. Although, we expect that count may be somewhat off and we sincerely apologize if these numbers do not match the Reader’s calculations.

After the Digital Age rendered source and existence of Truth such an unprecedented question, we discovered that a collective was required to research and substantiate claims. We have done our best to approximate this Truth using our combined senses, but are still relatively inexperienced. May we humbly remember the Creator who makes all life possible and appeal for guidance in making sure our words support the Reader’s own unique journey, even while serving as a reference point for all Readers who find themselves needing navigational assistance while on the plane known as Planet Earth.

While this chapter and several beyond are set in what was once called the Great Basin, Utah, United States of America in the physical realm, it is important to note that the Reader might find themselves in any number of geographic locations and experiences which follow the same general principles outlined in this guide. The Creator has provided a multitude of physical and experiential backdrops for the soul’s journey and as one Don Miguel Ruiz would say “you are the author of your own play,” so your unique circumstances may vary.

One would do well to take notes and reflect on any potential significance these words – and all words – may have as you move forward. Given this is, as we all now know, a highly individualized experience, your perceptions and interpretations will be unique as you read this. While reading, we encourage the Reader to pay particular attention to any physical and emotional reactions that One’s body may have. Spasms, sneezing, yawning, etc are all natural body responses and may be interpreted differently based on the journey you are on. The more significant a physical reaction you have, the more we encourage you to delve into the emotions that might be associated with it. For just as physical pain causes an emotional reaction in our bodies, so emotional pain causes a physical reaction in our bodies.

In the chapters that follow, we will attempt to provide guidance for those souls who are curious and have chosen to explore the physical, emotional and spiritual planes of our individual and collective evolution toward homo spiritus through the crystalline grid of Earth. Our humblest attempt at connecting the dots between mystical and physical experiences can not do justice to the magnificent complexity of Creation itself, but we pray it brings you one step closer to your own ultimate divine destination.

We will do our utmost to serve you dear Reader for the highest alignment of humanity and creation so that all might experience true Heaven on Earth with the greatest Ease possible

In Creations’ name, let it be so.
And so it is.
Amen.
