The Wine Cermonies and My Walk Through Hell
One of the most unusual disciplines in Ramtha’s School of Enlightenment is the discipline of the wine ceremony. This discipline was first introduced in June of 1996 in a three-week retreat and was used by Ramtha extensively for approximately six years. It was a discipline that was designed for use with students in school at that time and from my understanding and experience with it, it helped to release the students from the limitations of their personality self. Today the school has shifted to an entirely new set of disciplines, but my memories of these precious moments in the wine ceremonies with Ramtha, will live forever in my heart and mind.
This chapter takes the reader with me on a journey with what Ramtha calls the “Dark Night of the Soul”. This is the moment when the student is pressed to view and acknowledge the horrors they have held inside for a millennium of lifetimes. It is all of the ugly, unwanted, thoroughly judged experiences we all have in us that we are ashamed of and because of this shame have held onto them in our soul. By holding onto them they have remained in us as unfinished and unresolved events. When the “Dark Night of the Soul” happens we are being given, in that moment, an opportunity to address these poor orphaned experiences and love them into wisdom. If we can do that, we have cleansed our soul and have made room for the advancement of our journey. This is the essence of this chapter.
I am very grateful for the journeys on the walk through hell in my life. I love and am grateful to Ramtha for loving me and finding me worthy enough to reveal my hell to me and to the world so that I could be released to find my inner joy and happiness. I would never have given up one moment of my wisdom and learning no matter how painful they were, for I have repeatedly heard Ramtha say that these events are the opportunities from which greatness is made.
