“… After this significant shift of the ages that we have been through, there is still a lot for us
to absorb. In order to strengthen our work to create a civilization based on unity consciousness…the ninth wave will need to be fully integrated in our being.”

Thank you for having chosen to look in on my presentation of The Nine Directions. The “Prime Directive” to which these Nine Directions are in service, was illuminated millennia ago – in ancient Greece where, inscribed on the inner lintel of the Temple of Apollo at Delphi, was the aphorism: “Man, know thyself and thou shalt know the Universe…and the Gods.”
Rooted in a five-decade-long, in-depth study of ancient, historical, and contemporary Spiritual practices, The Nine are unique way-showers to our multi-leveled Wholeness, which, when owning them, places YOU at the center of Creation. This spiritualized “How To” handbook describes but one path to that Self-realization. Embarking on this Journey does indeed set one on a spiritual path to Conscious Self- Awareness.
For me, the Journey of The Nine Directions has come to embody an intellectual, emotional, and spiritual commitment towards fulfilling that “Prime Directive.” Traveling along this “Path of Self Discovery,” I have attempted to look at the complex and unified nature of a spiritually satisfying 3-D experience.
New Roads – Ancient Signposts
A significant part of my Spiritual life and pursuits has been via The Red Road, the traditions and ceremonies of America’s Indigenous People. As an outlier, from the “Awopaho” tribe of the South Bronx, I certainly DO NOT claim a Native Indian’s authority for my practice, or the several non-traditional metaphors of these Nine Directions. Rather, they represent that which I aspire to cleave to along my own Spiritual journey.
Historically, those Indigenous traditions have recognized Seven Directions: The East, South, West, North, Mother Earth, Father Sun, and Creator. Each is acknowledged, in the native Medicine Wheel practices, and is recognized as energies, expressed in these metaphors, which are both external and internal to us.
To those Sacred Seven, I have added Two: All My Relations and The Void, (the latter not so markedly noted in Indigenous traditions as the former), which I have come to know and respect as co-equal partners with the traditional Seven. More on this later.
I have also taken poetic license of a sort in renaming “Creator.” In my fact-finding trip through this life, I have come to believe there is, in fact, an energetic, consciousness-carrying, Something that stands behind and throughout even that majestic thought. Thus, in this text, “Creation” encompasses All.
As I look at them as a whole, these Nine seem to me to reflect a pretty complete set of metaphors that objectively describe the Self-Aware Ascended Man. As such, that represent both the internal and external Spiritual forces that we may call upon for assistance – at any time. They illuminate Mankind’s deep inner capacities that are each part of Hu-mankind’s birthright; our Spiritual DNA.
In short then, when we truly accept all the multi-Dimensional facets of ourselves – and what they mean – we move further towards consciously merging with that “Creator” within each of us. Thus, in knowing who we are, acknowledging it openly, and behaving as that unified Personage to the best of our abilities, we not only bring Spiritual values into our daily lives and work, but we also can accept and embrace total responsibility as the Self-Aware Creator of that life.
I have come to these conclusions, also in part, through my understanding of the Medicine Wheel. However, an expanded explication of my “Directions” does not solely rely on Indigenous traditions. They are also based on elements, applications, and nomenclature derived from ancient Egyptian and Greek rites, from widely acknowledged and ages-old Wisdom, Gnostic and Pagan teachings, and New Age beliefs, a dollop of contemporary physics, and from my own familiarity with the ever-widening range of astrological metaphors.
It is also my hope that they may sound a note of Truth for you too. Won’t you join me on this journey to Self-discovery?
In Gratitude and the ONE Heart,
Johnny Mirehiel
