"If you hit a ceiling at some point, you haven't lost it, you just got used to that level of bliss. You're wanting more, a new level, and that's natural. You will never be "done" and you wouldn't want to be done. (k.d. lang's song Constant Cravings says it best.)" Lola Jones
Spiritual Teacher Lola Jones - Spiritual Awakening, Ascension, by Grace (By Other Names: Holy Spirit, Darshan)
People have profound spiritual awakenings from being in spiritual teacher Lola Jones's presence. Hearing her speak, even on a recording, can cause deep transformation, spiritual awakening experiences, or even the full flowering into spiritual enlightenment, by Grace, and without work, practices, or austerities. Lives routinely transform within weeks or months, with "working on themselves". The definition of Grace is that it does for you what you simply cannot do for yourself, when you let it in. Lola Jones can help you let in Grace, and give you actual experiences of it.
There's a new wave of powerful teachers on the planet who can initiate the enlightenment, liberation, and the ascension process by simply touching you, being in the room with you, gazing in your eyes, or talking with you on the phone. Lola Jones is one of these teachers, and she is initiating others around the world to be givers of this Divine Grace as well.
When Lola was guided to name her book Things Are Going Great In My Absence: How To Let Go And Let The Divine Do The Heavy Lifting her first comment to The Presence was, "That is a L-O-N-G title!" But now she now finds it humorous that the long title turned out to be prophetic in many, many ways. So many things have gone great in her absence. While she lives a relatively low-key, normal, behind the scenes life (as she prefers to do) the book, the online courses, and other Divine Openings Givers carry the work to the world.
Lola has no plans to tour a lot or gather a following. She's not ambitious in that sense. Her intention is to help people go within rather than have to keep coming back to her. It's a sign of the very practical effectiveness of Divine Openings that people do not continue to need a lot of help. They do like to visit this website to stay in touch with the reality of their choice.
Many people don't need live contact to receive this initiation to or deepening of their spiritual enlightenment. Some do. The Divine Grace conveys quite well through Lola's spoken word, the book, online courses, and videos if you'll let it in and do your part. It can also be given to you long distance, by intention. A live-in-person Divine Opening, or being in the presence of a Divine Openings Giver is especially powerful.
After four years of giving Divine Openings, she began to sing them. Hear Lola's Gayatri Mantra, the Lolabye, Here In My Heart, and more of her original music. Lola Sings Divine Openings
There is no exact comparison we can give you, for all teachers are unique, but in terms of sheer, practical ability to transform lives, those who have experienced Lola's gift of spiritual awakening say it is tremendous. You might call it darshan, shaktipat, ascension, lighting of the bliss body, spiritual ecstasy, or bringing in of the Holy Spirit. It has powerful, practical, and potent effects in your life. It's best not to try to put it in any box you already know, because that will limit it for you.
Lola's stunning power of intention and focus allows her to effortlessly hold a pure vibrational field for others until they become entrained to it. She helps others create ease, power, inner guidedness, and the ability to let in Grace for themselves.
Lola gets out of the way and lets The Divine do the heavy lifting through her. Using her as an agent, the Presence sets up a powerful "field of resonance" that changes lives, heals, and liberates people, whether live, online, or in the book.
That's why she was guided to name the book: Things Are Going Great In My Absence: How To Let Go And Let The Divine Do The Heavy Lifting. This site itself is a multi-dimensional portal that invites you, then entrains you, to this new reality. Attending a spiritual retreat at the Enlightenment Center at Lola's ranch is like stepping into a powerful vortex of joy and empowerment. She used to think things like channeling and vortexes were too "out there" for her. Now she channels and sets up vortexes! She jokingly refers to it all as "my science fiction life" - a life beyond her wildest dreams.
You quickly notice Lola is fully alive and participating in this world, rather than being detached from it. She's not dour and over-serious either - she actually radiates the joy she speaks of. She created Divine Openings so you can too. And it works.
Lola Jones has become a teacher of teachers, leaders, and healers. Her joyful life is dedicated to being an example of living full out in the physical world while awakening others. Now the majority of her time is spent at the big picture level -- leading, writing, creating, innovating, singing, painting, and training others to do what she does. She lives a rather non-public life, letting the book, online courses, audios, and other Divine Openings Givers do most of the person-to-person work.
While she travels occasionally, most of the live contact available with Lola is at her ranchette in Texas, in the 5 Day Silent Retreats, where she leads people to new heights just for their own evolution, and initiates those who wish to give Divine Openings to others. How to be initiated to be a Divine Openings Giver.
You will not become dependent on Lola or any Divine Openings Giver. Their goal is to empower you, set you free, and help you become inner guided as quickly as you are willing to be. Once you get well into the spiritual awakening process, stabilize, get the bliss body lit up, and learn how to use your conscious mind and Free Will to keep choosing it, you are permanently liberated. The power is then yours, and seeking is over.

until you find and claim your own inner power,
and can consistently hold it yourself.
Divine Openings is compatible with any religion, or no religion, because you will come to more intimately know your own God, rather than taking on outside dogma. If you are Christian, you know that Jesus initiated enlightenment by touch, gaze, or intention, but it was just called something else in the various traditions that followed - being saved, the descending of the Holy Spirit, or rapture. God doesn't care what you call it.
What happens is beyond human comprehension. In the Eastern traditions, they sometimes call the direct infusions of Grace, illumination, and healing from certain teachers "darshan". Divine Openings is much more than that, though, and has much more practical effects in your real life.
We sometimes say Divine Openings Givers are conduits, but more accurately, they set up a field of resonance so strong it "ignites" the light bodies of others in their presence. Words fail to express what actually happens, and it's best to come to it free of concepts.
A few saints, Christian mystics and gurus throughout history gave direct infusions of Divine Grace or "healed" through Grace, and up until now, there were only a few in any tradition who could give it this easily, quickly, and permanently. Things are amping up!
Recently, as the power amps up, more and more people are noticing that at the moment the Divine Openings Giver places their intention on them, something begins to happen. They can feel the vibration. Instant healings can occur, and the Divine Opening happens.
"Universal Intelligence" in people.
Lola's teachings are not conventional, but they work. Like the cowgirl she is, she doesn't try to please everyone, and doesn't mince words. She's very direct about telling people that if all the metaphysical stuff, books, paths, and modalities they've been doing had worked well, they would not be here still seeking. She says that more modalities and books are not better, and that people should find one thing that works, even if it's not Divine Openings, and just stick to it! Furthermore, she won't work personally with people who won't give all that up and make a clear commitment to Divine Openings. She says, "Why give this treasure to people who won't commit, and who will muddy it up by mixing it with all that other stuff? That's a waste of time and energy for both of us."
She advises making a strong commitment to drop everything, forget everything you ever knew, and stick to Divine Openings for one year. Mixing modalities can stop or dilute your results. Continuing to seek cancels the effects, because that's using your free will to say you're not "there".
Many people have had spontaneous spiritual awakenings naturally or by effort on other paths, but had difficulty sustaining it. Lola commited herself to creating a support system that would help people get themselves out of the way, sustain it, and continue to go higher rather than dropping back down. We whimsically call it getting on the "automatic upgrade program".
Now is the time to wake up, and not only remember who you are, or have an intellectual concept of who you are, but LIVE as who you really are, in your practical life.
You may be eligible to be initiated to give Grace, just like Jesus and those other masters did. Remember that he said, "You will do all that I do and more." Lola respects all spiritual traditions, and has initiated people from all traditions to do what she does: Directory of Divine Openings Givers
Lola initiates Divine Openings Givers from all over the world in the 5 Day Silent Retreat to carry out most of the work, and spends more and more time creating, playing, traveling, or in solitude and silence, writing, communing with The Presence, and bringing in and translating new Divine energies for the upliftment of humanity. Her main function in life (besides enjoying it) is being a bringer in of new energies, a translator of how to use those energies in practical everyday life, and a full time conduit of energy, light, and intelligence for the planet.
Lola and other Divine Openings Givers don't just teach theory, leaving you wondering how to make it work in your life -- after Divine Openings, the direct experiences, and the life experiences that come to you bring it alive. Divine Openings Givers awaken (or further awaken), uplift, enliven, empower, and free those who come in contact with them (experience their darshan or the Holy Spirit through being in their Presence). The bliss body quickly or eventually lights up, spiritual enlightenment is felt physically, and this spiritual awakening or ascension catalyzes tangible, practical life changes, such as resolution of money, relationship, or health problems. Again, this is direct experience, not just talking about it or attaining knowledge -- Divine Openings changes lives on every level.
It's very real, and very different from anything you may have experienced. Most important, you don't have to do it forever. You can stop working on yourself, get happy, outgrow the spiritual seeking, and begin living as your Large, Expanded Self instead, and let Grace carry you more of the time.
Wasn't that the point of your seeking in the first place?

Divine Openings Givers are not collecting followers, they're empowering people who already are or soon become peers. Of course, you may continue to learn and receive inspiration from them, come bask in the energy and participate in the online community, and give service if you wish. More and more of your guidance will come from within, until you truly know yourself as a unique physical expression of God.
Receiving a live or phone Divine Opening is a life-changing event. Thanks to the growing number of Divine Openings Givers, the book, and the now extensive audio/video library in the Online Self-Paced Course, Divine Openings is now accessible to everyone, anywhere in the world.
Mostly by word of mouth, as of 2009, people in 65 countries were experiencing Divine Openings.
You always remember with gratitude those teachers
who by their mere intention,
glance, word, or touch can,
in an instant,
give what can't be
earned
even in many lifetimes
of hard work.
The means to it is
Pure Grace.
How did Lola come to do what she does?
Lola taught spiritual development (and corporate training with spiritual underpinnings) for decades. She always had a natural ability to wake people up and catalyze breakthroughs. She has an eternal lineage as a 'pioneer', one who opens new territory and expands consciousness. Ten years ago she was regularly teaching a 3 1/2 day intensive called The Power Course that students still credit with transforming their lives. But the full flowering of her lineage quickened in about 2003.
She stopped teaching and dived deep within. For a couple of years she painted full time, telling friends, "I'm so tired of words! I don't want to talk at all! I'll never teach again unless something comes along that works beyond the limitations of words." That wish would be fulfilled.
While the paintings that came were light years beyond any art she'd ever done before, she had no idea just how big the purpose of these paintings would be. Following this sudden urge to paint would within two years lead to a development in her teaching that was beyond her wildest imaginatings.
After those two years of painting and being carefree, she had strong guidance to go into silent retreat in a program in India. After 21 days in delicious silence, speaking to no other human, communing only with The Pure Presence Within, she received darshan with two powerful teachers, and was initiated to give Divine Grace. It activated her entire lineage of being a consciousness pioneer for many lifetimes. She entered Heaven on Earth.
An ancient lineage of many lifetimes
was activated full force.
Lola returned home with a powerful new gift. Starting all over again with no clients, no income, no base -- from absolute zero, within a year she had given Divine Openings hands on, back before this website, to 700 people. A woman with a worldwide email list of a quarter of a million people was guided to introduce Lola to the world, and today, the work spans the globe.
Although old concepts of ambition and goals are now meaningless to her (she has neither), the work "drives itself". She has become an indefatiguable writer, artist, and expert in many fields, quite effortlessly.
The Presence moves her body, her mouth,
and her mind as it wishes, and she's just
along for the amazing ride.
Of course Lola and Divine Openings both continue to evolve. The Divine Energy increases in power, as Lola just follows the lead of The Presence. She has no master plan, and often doesn't know what she'll be doing two months from now. She gets out of the way and does what she is guided to do on any given day.
Some people need only a few Divine Openings to experience spiritual awakening, and they've gone happily on about their lives. Most people need more Divine Openings, or require more training in how to get out of the way and use their free will choices to sustain the bliss instead of resist it. So Lola developed a program to support them in the process, and help them stabilize at the new higher level. Lola had known many who had reached a temporary state of bliss and oneness before, and lost it. She was determined to find a way to sustain it.
A book came through her, and when Lola heard the experiences of people who read it, she was actually amazed to find out how powerful an effect it was having on them. Things Are Going Great In My Absence: How To Let Go And Let The Divine Do The Heavy Lifting causes people to have profound spiritual experiences and positive life changes, without ever meeting or speaking to Lola. The title of the book became a miraculous self-fulfilling prophecy. Equally amazing, the Online Self-Paced Course gave results that are for some almost as powerful a live Divine Openings Course. The darshan effect people receive from watching the videos and listening to the audios is very close to being with her live. The audio and video libraries are huge, offering hundreds of hours of viewing and listening.
Lola says it feels like living an exciting spiritual science fiction movie on one level,
but on the other hand, it has become so natural and normal to her.
She relishes mundane ordinary life as a contrast to
the profound energies that flow through her
and the supernatural things
that happen.
While Lola is deeply grateful to the teachers who helped her activate her ancient lineage, she was guided to go another way and not stay with their path. She was not comfortable with giving any power to any guru or teacher, nor does she want anyone to give their power to her. She is totally committed to showing people their own inner, direct connection, help them reclaim their own power, and set them free.
She created Divine Openings to be truly universal -- for anyone of any faith -- or no faith or religion at all. It's just you and your Creator, The Life Force, the Organizing Intelligence ...whatever you choose to call it. She is happy to offer guidance, community, and inspiration for as long as and whenever anyone wants it, but she wants everyone who does Divine Openings to become spiritually self-empowered.
Lola initiates people to give Divine Openings. Some use it in their ordinary roles in life, like chef, musician, electrician, consultant, manager, truck driver, or businessperson. Others give it formally in courses and sessions. Some do it as world service.
You may be initiated to give Divine Openings. Just read the book, and/or begin with the Level 1 Course, and you will know if you are called.
Lola's passion is to bring in new energies to the planet, assimilate them, ground them in the physical plane, and make them assimilable for others. She disseminates them in whatever way she is guided to do, while living a very balanced, joyful, abundant, and grounded life. Doing ranch chores, mowing with her tractor, fixing fences, playing with animals, trimming trees on her ten acres, working out, going out dancing ... these simple pleasures are some of her greatest joys, aside from doing this work. Those things keep her healthy and very, very grounded.
Lola believes that to create Heaven on Earth, people must get very grounded, embrace and master their emotions, and get fully in their bodies, rather than floating off into spiritual states.
"Enlightenment is experiencing
Heaven right here on Earth."
