BOUNDLESS  SENSUAL  ECSTATIC  PHYSICAL  LIFE


Christal Temple


The Vision of
CHRISTAL TEMPLE


CHRISTAL TEMPLE
is both a vision
and a now-functioning mixture of
different modalities within
Self-development,
Complementary and Spiritual Healing,
Shamanic Practice,
Music,
Ecstatic Dance,
Prayer and Worship,
Ritual Celebration
and
Sacred Sexuality.

We hold group workshops,
take on client “projects” both private and business,
and coach those who come to us in
the finding and using of transformational tools.

John Overton writes

The aim of Christal Temple is that our clients and all those who work, play and pray with us, become more self-empowered in their lives, and that from there may see the Oneness of All things, knowing that their own re-discovered Light empowers others to shine. It is our passion to encourage inner and outer journeys towards more satisfying and joyful lives. Our work begins on the journey into the innermost soul, to the divine as known within, as well as from without; and it is our desire and purpose that this work ultimately flourishes in practical outreach on a renewed Earth.

Some of what we do is described in greater detail on the links at the bottom of the pages on this site.

As our own understanding expands and intensifies, and as we allow the Spirit to guide us into deeper Truth, there will be more written about each of the “jigsaw-pieces” that go together to form this work. In deeper reality, all the pieces are part of the same idea – to access that innermost flow in us which will enable us to be gentle, generous and powerful goddesses and gods of Life, in joyful and willing wonder and co-operation with the Source of all Being.

We are  multi-disciplinary and multi-faith, while honouring and expanding our own Christian background, drawing wisdom from it and its particular way of guiding, nourishing and strengthening us.

This is the vision…

In the Holy Scriptures of different religious traditions, it is interesting how many of those vibrant moments of Cosmic Silence (where angels minister to women and men, prophesies are foretold and instructions given on new, liberating Ways of Life) occur under trees or upon mountains. It is as though the depths and heights of Earthly Existence are being shown to be the prerequisite and starting-point for deeper change. Often these Cosmic moments happen after seemingly long periods of apparent hardship, failure and despair; sitting under a tree, Elijah cries “It is enough! I am no better than my fathers!” yet his life is not taken, he is succoured and given a new vision that fires him with boundless energy.

Just as in waiting to fall in love, it is easy to imagine that such visions only happen to others, to those “chosen” or “lucky” in some way. But when the transfigured Moment comes to pass in one’s own life,  everything can swiftly appear to become radically different - the shape, the value, the feel of things have been transformed in a holy instant, and there is no possible “return to how it was before.” And yet, looking back later, hindsight will almost certainly show how all things were coming together to that point, and that the deeper seeds of the vision were already in place – it only required a new perception, as given through the transfigurative experience.

Which came first? The willingness to listen and receive, or the transfigurative moment? Who can tell?! In my own case, it was in my sister’s garden under a tree, in the early summer of 2004, that the Inner Divine Voice showed me the following. I had asked for direction, but harboured few hopes of receiving guidance; now I found myself suddenly scribbling madly, breathless, unable to keep up with what I was being told. It was new, yet extraordinarily familiar.

This is a short version:
“Build up a guruless spiritual community and network of people (especially friends, therapists, musicians, shamans, sacred ministers, artists and artisans, and others who wish to live day-to-day in holy multidimensional Truth,) aligning yourselves by Earth-energetic and prayerful means to other similar communities around the world, for the sake of inner and outer Joy and Peace, and so that you may connect ever more deeply with the Divine. Bring together the deepest Earth Sensuality and Sexuality with Cosmic Wholeness and Holiness, pray and worship together, make ecstatic Music, find new forms of Artistic Expression that proclaim the deeper Truths of the Paradigm Shift now taking place, Dance, Heal, Celebrate in ritual Pleasure, Meditate and share Christ's Essence as a token of your Divinity, open yourselves to deeper Energy Attunements from realms beyond, affirm the Manifestation of New Physical Reality by pure Intention, make a place to welcome guests and course-participants to eat and stay, and then, build a Christal Temple where you may affirm these truths and support one another in Ecstatic Joyful Community. This is Christal Temple Divine Ascension.”

The vision stressed the necessity of letting go of conventional limited 3-dimensional "wisdom" so that all might be better able to live abundantly on Earth in the months and years ahead, and to prepare for whatever the next 5 to 10 years may herald. The transfiguration of individual lives was the pattern for the whole of Earth, “so below, so above”. It emphasised the regular coming together in community to pray, eat, celebrate and experience life-transformation. Doing this we would experience an ever-deepening awareness of our ultimate intimacy with God, our deepest sensual Earthiness as humans, our Starchild Cosmic connections, an expanding com-passionate love for our planet that would be the basis of authentic, Earth-friendly lives, and an intensifying Shamanic Energy coursing through our bodies - a profoundly Divine Sensual Community at all levels.

Since the vision came, there has been a wonderful synchronicity of people coming together, there have been meetings, buildings have been seen, mountain views and the inner process match well what has been shown on the inner planes. As one might expect, there have also been difficulties and inner blockages and expectations to release; Christal Temple is first and foremost the journey, the relationships, the gained insights and the inner transformation! Yet, the growing need for a community of those prepared to live this way makes the eventual building, in whatever form, our highly desired and intentioned goal.

The quantum physics aspect of what has happened pleases me greatly: people who do not know one other have "happened" on this same idea, envisioned it in the same part of the same country/countries, as though the photons in different “realms” so far “apart” have manifested identical outcomes. A further aspect - though perhaps speculation, and certainly disputed as "pseudo-science" - is that Earth may be moving ever more centrally into the light of the Photon Belt, with increased divine synchronisation (or sacred co-incidence) as a result; whatever the truth of this, there is an accelerated longing for the manifestation of Light whereby darkness will less and less be able to hide. The increased level of prophesy going on in these times is also pointing to a level of Divine Guidance that we may never have ever known before.

Our Divine Purpose at Christal Temple, then, is to reassume our mantle as Co-creators for an all-embracing  Life in Abundance, in willing service to God, the Earth and all humanity, resolving all hurt and fear by choosing Peace, Joy and Boundless Ecstasy over the lies of Scarcity, Menace and untimely Death, so beloved of those in so-called power, who would keep us enslaved!

Profound Joy will always prevail. It is the Source-Connected Life in Boundless Joy, in whatever  circumstances, that is indeed the purpose, and the deepest wellspring of bounty, of divinely empowered communities. Our Christal Temple community is intended to live and flourish in this way.

This is the vision of Christal Temple.

Some people may be surprised by the "mixture of activities" here.
Others may be challenged by the sensuality and sexuality practices
that are referred to in the same context as God and Christ.

It is our deepening belief that today's spiritual and practical malaise
is much due to the sidelining of parts of Earthly existence.

(This disempowering of targeted parts of human existence is a preferred way to keep slaves in place,
by denouncing such parts as tainted, and thus without real worth.
When applied to specific groups of people, witch-hunts ensue and nazi regimes rule.)
The marginalizing of some body-parts and their created-for-passion uses,
has long been systematically

practised in the name of the Jewish and Christian God;
this is seen by us as idolatry!
(We believe Her to be passionate, as in "com-passionate" -
and supportive of complete living as a Divine Being on Earth -
after the model of Jesus Christ.)
Earth religions and Indian/Tbetan tantric practices show
how ever-deepening sexuality is used to experience the Divine.

Our mission is to bring back together that which man
(for it has usually been the male of our species) has separated,

so that we may again celebrate our wholeness.


PS  When I was one of the moderators for the Active Indigo Yahoo Group, 2004 - 2005, I shared the Christal Temple vision with a fellow moderator. She suggested that we call the centre Crystal Temple, since this would be less likely to  "put off" those who had been alienated from Christ by their church religious upbringing. I asked on the inner planes about this and was clearly shown that Christal Temple was both the name and the spelling. Ultimately we are about the coming together of Heaven and Earth, the Return (the Coming) of the Cosmic Christ, within us and without.

There is a Crystal Temple in Portland, Oregon. Despite some parallels between their work and the work we do at Christal Temple, we are not "related" - we are organisations completely independent of one another.
