Lightning Rod

A Lightning Rod is a short, pithy, statement of concepts. A Lightning Rod is designed to provide efficient and effective spiritual instruction especially for people seeking rapid completion of The Work.

Notes

Lightning Rods are one of the primary pedagogical tools used on the Lightning Path. Rods are modeled on the pedagogy of the Upanishads.
