The Mystical Ladder to Elysian Fields reveals a way to climb from the illusionary consciousness of this world to the kingdom of God. Through the substance of inner realizations and revelations, a Soul constructs a ladder and ascends to heaven amidst the angels of God. There are seven foundational principles to spiritual existence, seven intuitive stages of progress leading to the inner life. Through utilization and fidelity to these principles you build Soul awareness and develop the qualities to climb the rungs of the mystical ladder. Adherence to these precepts of life are the essence that form the rungs of ascension, fanning the fire of spiritual rebirth. As you climb this ladder, you experience a gradual expansion of truth. Each step appears as a different state of conscious awareness, accompanied by sequential revelations, brought to pass by an open heart and receptive Soul faculties. It is then you come to live a visionary’s dream and feel the intense joy of mystic union, of knowing God as the one essential spiritual reality embodying all life. This is the natural order of the wonderful, angelic state of consciousness, free to ascend and descend the mystical ladder, to come and go as the wind.

In 1988 Herb Fitch wrote to Stephen and Lynn Jay about his intent to take four years and write four books. This did not come to pass before his transition on June 13, 1996, but a seed was planted that left the Jays with a deep desire to fulfill Herb’s wishes. In the following years, they condensed his manuscripts and tapes, adding photos, letters, journal entries, and descriptions of their experiences with him, including the meat of their ten-day private 1989 seminar on Kauai. In Condensed Wisdom of Herb Fitch, Volume One: The Silver Highway to Redemption, the Jays present an opportunity to explore the high pinnacle of Herb’s teachings. Those who tread the Silver Highway are on a quest for the most precious gift of redemption of their Soul, the prodigal returning home. “The one great adventure of finding Self is the purpose of life, for we must learn how to be perfect as our Father which is in heaven, which really means, be Thyself. This path is not for ordinary people. It is for the children of God. Each spiritual lesson is prepared for spiritual beings whose lives are dedicated to truth, who have the capacity and the hunger to receive truth, and who have learned by hard experience that half-truths can never be part of spiritual life. At this stage on your path you are ready to drop all half-truths and proceed directly to the full expression of the divine image and likeness ... your true Self.” —Herb Fitch, San Francisco, 1969

n 1988 Herb Fitch wrote to Stephen and Lynn Jay about his intent to take four years and write four books. This did not come to pass before his transition on June 13, 1996, but a seed was planted that left the Jays with a deep desire to fulfill Herb’s wishes. Condensed Wisdom of Herb Fitch, Volume 2: The Golden Circle of the Soul builds on the Jays’ previous work, Condensed Wisdom of Herb Fitch, The Silver Highway to Redemption. Both books are rooted in a work began in 1988 as a study guide for the Jays that they call The Condensed Wisdom of Herb Fitch, A – Z. This was woven together with the meat of a 1969 transcript of thirty lessons entitled “Know Thyself,” given by Herb in San Francisco. This high mysticism is seasoned with private lessons, journal entries, letters, photos, and the Jays’ personal experiences with Herb in Bali, and the result is a work of love “with no missing parts or extra pieces,” which was, according to Herb, a pure sign of Spirit. This collection, the second of three volumes, gathers writings, recorded knowledge, and personal narratives from mystic revelator Herb Fitch and charts their journey of friendship and love.
