The Starter Book of Presence
 A Guide for Initiates of the Christian Metaphysician Society

 

 Sacred Welcome: Entering the Circle of Presence

Blessed Initiate, 
You are standing at the threshold of awakening. With every breath, every step, you are called not merely to learn, but to remember.
Let your mind soften. Let your heart open. Let the Presence rise.

 

 We Believe in Divine Remembrance

A Statement of Sacred Grounding

“We do not believe to belong. We belong, and so we remember.”

 

🕊️ Our Beliefs

We walk with these truths—not to enforce, but to embody:

• God is Presence, not punishment.

• Christ is the image of Divine Remembrance, not control.

• The soul is born in bondedness, not in sin.

• Scripture is symbolic and living, not literal and fixed.

• Spiritual law is rhythm, not rule.

• The body is a vessel of revelation, not shame.

• Each person is a temple, not a project.

• Transformation is salvation, not confession.

• Kenosis—sacred surrender—is the path to fullness.

• We follow Jesus not to worship him, but to become like him.

 

🌿 A Note to the Initiate

You are not asked to agree. You are invited to resonate. These beliefs are not gates—they are mirrors. If they reflect your soul’s knowing, walk with us. If they do not, walk gently onward. The Circle of Presence honors your unfolding.

“In this Society, doctrine is living and practices are optional doors. You walk through them not by force—but by resonance. These structural rituals help you remember, but do not define your divinity. You are the temple. These are the sacred tools.”

Sacred Structure, Not Dogma

Living the Teachings Without Losing Yourself

“We do not enforce belief. We offer rhythm. We do not demand obedience. We invite presence. This is not religion. This is remembrance.”

 What You Are Entering

You have crossed into a spiritual path that honors you not just as a student—but as a living temple. The Christian Metaphysician Society does not require blind belief, rigid compliance, or moral perfection. We offer rhythm, revelation, and ritual that help awaken what’s already within.

Each practice, meditation, scroll, and reflection is a sacred tool. They are here to support your unfolding—not to shape it forcefully.

 Practices as Sacred Guidelines

In this module, you’ll encounter practices that:

• ✦ Anchor your spiritual identity in daily rhythm

• ✦ Guide your breath, reflection, and activation

• ✦ Offer structure, not control

These are not commandments. They are invitations—to come into coherence with Divine Presence.

“You are the temple. These are the sacred tools.”

You Have Permission

• You may adapt, skip, pause, or deepen any practice.

• You may resonate deeply with one scroll, and return later to another.

• You may walk this path slowly, rhythmically, and with spiritual sovereignty.

We trust the Spirit within you to guide your discernment. We do not seek followers—we honor co-creators of light.

 Your Role in Sacred Rhythm

You are invited to:

• Participate with intentional presence

• Engage practices as mirrors, not mandates

• Honor your unique unfolding while remaining open to new resonance

Structure exists here to support soul safety, rhythm, and remembrance. But it remains soft and spacious, never harsh or binding.

Sacred time isn’t just about marking dates on a calendar—it’s about restoring rhythm, presence, and divine awareness to every breath and season. For Initiates, sacred time becomes both a compass and a container for spiritual growth.

 

🕊️ Why Sacred Time Matters in Spiritual Formation

1. It Aligns Us with Divine Rhythm

Sacred time helps us move out of chaos and into cosmic order. It affirms that we are not just living—we are being timedby grace, intention, and eternity.

2. It Anchors Ritual and Transformation

Ceremonies and practices become more powerful when placed within a rhythm:

• New moon → intention setting

• Solstice → stillness and clarity

• Feast days → celebration and reflection Sacred time gives each moment a role in your soul’s evolution.

3. It Reinforces Spiritual Identity

By attuning to sacred cycles, Initiates begin to live as metaphysical beings:

• Morning becomes anointing

• Sunset becomes surrender

• Birthdays, passages, losses → all become consecrated

They stop reacting to time—and start co-creating with it.

4. It Weaves Personal and Communal Progression

When your community shares sacred calendars:

• You’re not just learning alone

• You’re journeying together through stages, seasons, and celebrations

Sacred time becomes the society’s heartbeat.
