The Eightfold Path and the 8th Plane of Heaven

The unique material described in the Planes of Heaven series of books derives from the adventures of a group of spiritual seekers who, over a period of decades, met Friday evenings in Pasadena, California, under the guidance of master teacher and Dead Sea Scrolls translator Mary Dies Weddell, whose inspired teachings influenced thousands in America and abroad.

This sixth volume in the Planes series continues themes begun in the first five titles, with new emphasis in new directions. Readers will associate the Eightfold Path with Gautama Buddha, who rediscovered this ancient teaching taught by all the previous Buddhas. In The Eightfold Path And The 8th Plane Of Heaven, guru and mentor Mary Weddell's guidance embraces her interpretive approach to the Eightfold Path interlaced with her teachings of the heaven world in the here and now and the Afterlife.

As readers of the first five books of the Planes series have read, physical existence on Earth and the invisible realms are intricately interconnected; life and death are one coexistent reality -- there is a Hereafter where we live on in the manifold Planes of Heaven, which we the living may access in our nighttime travels to the higher realms. Readers of the previous Planes titles have shared the adventures of Mary Weddell's students from the lowest Planes of Heaven through the 7th Plane. Now we come to the 8th Plane and the work of the Eightfold Path, where changing patterns of thought and behavior in our physical lives is accelerated in overcoming the self and circumstances.

The underlying theme of all Mary's work is self knowledge leading to self mastery. Through her peerless, powerful teaching, Mary enabled her students to see more deeply into life and to understand more fully the awe inspiring structure and purpose of creation. Mary's message, "It's one world without end, amen," resonates. "In my teaching I believe the only solution to the mysteries of man's existence and of his toiling toward a goal he does not fully understand, is to seek the inner self. You cannot falter or fail in any way because you are beautiful, a living proof there is a God." -- Mary Weddell
