Discover Your Path: Since time immemorial , there have been seekers—people who sought the wisdom and truth of the universe. Spiritual seekers who wanted to have a closer relationship with the Divine. People who sought God. Before Jesus attained Christ Consciousness and the Buddha attained Enlightenment, they were seekers on a great quest. The first step of every quest involves turning your attention to the world within. The fruit of Jesus’s quest was the attainment of Christ Consciousness. For the Buddha, it was Enlightenment. What did these two Great Souls know that others do not? They knew that the potential to attain the highest state of mind and realization was within them. The potential to attain Christ Consciousness, Enlightenment, or other lofty realization lies within you. What must you do to unfold your divine potential? This is the question that the Path of the Soul answers in vivid detail.

Once the baby was wrapped in swaddling cloths and placed in Marium's arms, did she look into the eyes of her newborn son and see the only begotten Son of God, the Christ, who would perform the works of the Father, be crucified, and be resurrected on the third day as Christianity proclaims? Probably not. Now that we have the date and time when Jesus was born, it is possible to see Jesus's life from His birth to His Crucifixion in a new light, free of religion, theology, and dogma. This comprehensive analysis of the birth chart of Jesus shines a bright light upon Jesus as a person and a Soul and reveals how He unfolded, developed, and mastered His divine potential. Using the symbolism of traditional astrology and Soul-centered esoteric astrology, the progressive unfoldment, development, and spiritualization of Jesus are presented in a way that helps people understand the nature and breadth of the path of the Soul. It is upon this path that people discover their own unique patterning and unfold their divine potential. Path of the Soul tells the inspiring story of the life, the message, and the mission of Jesus and explains in great detail how Jesus mastered successively higher states of mind and attained Christ consciousness. Such lofty achievements as, enlightenment, bliss, at-one-ment with the Divine, and Christ consciousness are not states of mind that only a few people can achieve. Rather, they are states of mind that all people can attain when their vast potential is unfolded within the crucible of the human mind. From step to step and stage to stage, the prodigal sons and daughters who have journeyed to a far land return home. This journey home is referred to as the path of the Soul. Upon this path, mankind journeys from darkness to light, from the unreal to the real, from revelation to revelation, and from realization to new realization, through the successively higher gateways of the mind onto the courtyard of the Divine. There is a secret chamber in the planetary heart filled with a wealth of information about this journey and how people can unfold their divine potential. Unfolding this potential is the objective of all who step upon the path of the Soul. Although portion
