The first steps and framework
The following should give you a sense of the approach offered here to learning about the Universal Worship Service generally, and further, what is suggested and needed to be able to convey the transmission through the Universal Worship Service.
As a start, please read all the material on this page. The list below is a suggestion of the things to do. It is in the order to proceed. It is rather comprehensive and, if followed, might take some time to complete. It will definitely take some concentration. However nothing here is etched in stone. It is possible that you would be guided to modify this process. Links to various pages with which to start to work are found on the bottom of this page.
- The first thing to do is to get some understanding of the Universal Worship Service. This can be done through reading the material about the service and some descriptions of actual services. Links to these are on the Reference page. From doing this you should have a little sense of whether you wish to proceed in learning more about the service.
- Should you wish to proceed further, the next thing is to read the prayers that are provided for your use. This will give you a much better feeling for approach. Do remember that these are guides. You may find that you are guided to look for additional prayers to use instead, or as supplements. Over time, through your intuition and Guidance of The True, you may be led to write some yourself. But do be careful if you do that to make sure it is Real Guidance, that you should do this, and that the prayers stem from the Divine, not just the lower personality.
- Following this will be to begin some practices and readings. The first series are toward gaining a sense of the Unity of All Being and One Way. This is the place from which all stems and comes into being. From this One is The Way. Many are the paths which have been provided as part of the One Teaching, the Only Truth and Being. It is this from which all religions and teaching have come and toward which they all aspire.
- The next step to take is to learn the paths through practices of recitation and breath. Here is work with the phrases that re-present or convey the Divine One-That-Exists beyond form and is also form, and from which the paths come and to which they point. Here you will learn to feel your way through recitations and attunements as highly as you are able. You will point toward That Truth, That Which is Real, The Only, through each form of sound and motion. Detailed instruction and examples in written form, audios, and videos are provided for this. As you do these practices you will experience more and more deeply the reality of the path or way. It is here your understanding will become more real.
- Following these former series of practices will be to spend some time in attunement to each of the prophets or conveyers in turn. Included here are some of the major prophets and teachers through whom came the various teachings which turned into paths and religions. There will be work with practices of recitations, walks, and breaths for each prophet. These are described in word, audios, and videos. You will find through this, should you go far enough, the actual connection to and experience of these beings. They do exist now.
- The next stage will be to familiarize yourself will all the aspects of presenting the Universal Worship service. This is broken down in 31 steps. There are written descriptions and audios for each of these steps.
- Finally, read the prayers and descriptions of the services again. They will have deepened meaning. You should now be prepared to put together the material to conduct a Universal Worship Service. This will entail getting candles, a suitable working place (altar, table, etc.), a cloth cover, copies of the material from the various traditions to read, and any other things you will use. You should now be ready to conduct a service. Of course, you could also bypass all this preparation. The choice is yours. I do suggest that you follow Real Guidance and it will lead you correctly.
_____________________
This is the general framework and what to expect in the process of learning how to conduct the Universal Worship Service as presented here. Must you do all these practices that are offered? Of course not. It is always possible, although perhaps not warranted or the best way, to jump right in and try to present a service. Or perhaps you would start the practices and other work yet have a basis of understanding and experience which leads toward you being able to act as a conveyer and transmitter of this service without going through all the steps.
However the steps that are suggested can be very useful and will build upon each other. By at least trying to explore them and to do them - even as a review - you will no doubt gain a higher perspective, understanding, and ability to function. Because of this, I suggest trying. When you are choosing to take part in this process of becoming the intermediary from The One through you, as part of It, you only need place yourself in Heart, Breath, Light, and Love, and let this conveyance of the spirit, Your Only Beloved, guide you. And you will be guided - certainly and truly - in accord with both your sincerity and ability, capacity to receive.
Before clicking on the following links and getting into the actual reading and/or practices, I suggest you read the short page called Getting Started. It is a bit more about approach and the flexibility that is available to you. It expands upon the two paragraphs above and stresses some of the more real aspects of approaching learning this work and your function through the Universal Worship Service.
