The path to transfiguration


Yet if I am a timid friend of truth, I fear that I may lose my life among those who will call this present, ancient times" Dante Aligiero 'Paradiso' (1265-1321)


We live in transcient times within the eternal scope of our lives. Consequently, the actualization of our being requires a consistent mobility towards the zenith of our purpose. Paul said '…In Him we live, move and have our being'. The gap between when we begin to live and when we actualize our being requires a daily transition at the realm of our minds.

In this demanding drive to fulfilment, we will encounter some revelations that will conflict with our present realities and state. Some of these insights will require a great deal of courage to live by. We become strangers and outcasts when we live ahead of the times and seasons. However, this is only another stage in the transition.


The men who have led their times often were not revered by the generations in which they lived. Nevertheless, they made live-long disciples of the generations to come, mainly because they saw into the times and seasons ahead. He who sees the farthest rules the affairs of the earth.


The very nature of the earth requires a consistent movement along its axis to remain existent and relevant in its support of the other elements in the universe.


For every revolution that we have experienced on the face of the earth be it business or spiritual moves, the pioneers have always been very courageous visioneers who not only saw but had the courage to live such experiences in the now without even experiencing an immediate physical transition. They were bold enough to subject their souls to an unprecedented reformation before the world saw the need for it. This is the path very few take. This is the path of transfiguration!!!!!!!


The path of transfiguration is an evolving antithesis. It is characterised by stilness in mobility, a harmonious blend of pain and peace, purposeful yet resting only experienced by men who valued mystery above matter. This is the cross, this is the glory!
