Leslie’s chapter, Beyond the Beyond, relates the story of an extraordinary mystical journey that she took to Egypt with a small group in August 1999, timed to coincide with an auspicious astrological event, which included a total solar eclipse. The trip culminated in their spending the night in sacred ceremony alone in the Great Pyramid of Giza and with a dawn meditation between the paws of the Sphinx. In this chapter Leslie shares revelations about many mysteries, which were revealed to her during this time.
Here are a few excerpts from Leslie’s chapter:
“[It] was one of the most memorable and purposeful mystical experiences I have had in this life. As a natural-born mystic and spiritual teacher who routinely inhabits the multi-dimensional worlds of energy and transcendental light, I have to admit that this first trip to Egypt was way outside of the norm for me…”
“Someone seeking spiritual transformation who travels to Egypt will receive initiations. This is a predictable happening. Initiations are an integral part of the deep changes that take place in every student’s consciousness as they advance on their journey toward self-knowledge, and the sacred sites of Egypt offer profound initiations.”
“The birth of a more balanced consciousness, with the power to lift humanity up beyond the old good/evil, right/wrong polarizations of this human world and into a permanently peaceful and unified state, is undoubtedly in humanity’s future. But first there must be a cleaning out of negative unconscious ego issues. The Great Pyramid of Giza, on August 11, 1999, generated a light that played a significant part in beginning this process.”
