1) Gross/Physical Dimension: Translineage Path Covenant
The covenant is a private ceremony in which a teacher accepts an individual as a student. Students make a personal donation in appreciation to their teacher.
2) Subtle/Energetic Dimension: Translineage Path Vows
The commitment ceremony is a public confirmation in which the student empowers and is empowered by the teacher of the Translineage Practice Community. The lead teacher gives the student, the 10 Translineage Mysticism Commitments to Practice and a Translineage Mysticism name. Partners, family and friends are welcome to the ceremony.
3) Causal/Pure Spirit: Translineage Path Initiate
Initiation is the ceremony of ordination marking the passage from layperson to what we call an Initiate. In this ceremony, students fully empower and commit their lives to the truths of spirit that they discover on the the Translineage Path.
4) Nondual: Translineage Path Associate Minister: Partial Transmission
5) Integrated: Translineage Path Minister: Full Transmission
Recognized and accredited by the State of California
Spiritual Artist, Dr. Rabbi Marc Gafni will lead the World Spirituality Translineage Path Practice stream.
The lineage is transmitted by a lineage master. The term means different things in different traditions. We use it to mean someone who not only knows, but also has absorbed into and incarnated in their being, the wisdom of his or her lineage. This does not suggest that a lineage master is perfect or incapable of making mistakes.
It in no way suggests you give over your personal authority and responsibility for your life to your teacher.
What it does suggest is a passionate commitment to love, truth, courageous transformation, unflinching integrity, ruthless honesty that is demanding and forgiving, even as it merges with unending compassion, selfless service, wide and deep mind and heart.
It also suggests a mastery of levels of inner depth, wisdom, meaning and heart, which the teacher– with all of his heart and mind – is committed to gifting to you.
Much as some of the classic traditions, Dr.. Marc has accepted a group of students.
Unlike those traditions, Dr. Marc will both give genuine transmission as a teacher even as he co-creates with his autonomous students, a study track that meets their unique needs of heart, body and mind.
We reject for our community the image of the teacher as Guru even as we reject for our community the image of teacher as pal or buddy, who just happens to be teaching.
In our community we believe that the teachers must incarnate both Spiritual attainment, humility, willingness to own mistakes made, a commitment to constant deepening, giving over of his life fully to the Mystery, profound natural Spiritual authority, profound respect for his students autonomy coupled with radical delight at all he can learn from his students. This dialectical balance requires a profound and mature autonomous student who can both be a student and master at the same moment.
