Necessary Ingredients To Transformation
By Sebastian, Fri Dec 9th
Urge for Wholeness, Love of Truth You might think this goeswithout saying, but many people are content to live within thesocial norms and pursue happiness through acquisition or fame orpower etc. In other words, "love of the world". If you findyourself longing for something more, something deeper, somethingreal, then this quality is operative in you and you simply needto honor it. If you do not feel a longing for completion, whyare you reading this? This flame of longing for Reality, Truth &Wholeness is the field that contains the ‘pearl of great value’.Be ready to ‘sell everything else’ to buy it. Allow it to beyour guide. Express it through your actions and endeavors.Tired? At some point in your journey you may find yourselfsaying: "Enough already!" Or, "I need a rest". I think this isto be expected and may be related to the need to gather moreenergy (see below). But it could also be complacency orindulgence. Cultivating the Love of Truth or the Urge toWholeness may serve to wake you out of an unconscious indulgentsleepiness. If you find yourself becoming spiritually lazy,using Inquiry & Radical Honesty can help. (see below) Seeing thetruth about our motivations will ‘set us free’. The lessresistance, the sooner it can work. Basic Trust, Faith, CourageTransformation is change. Genuine Awakening involves changes onall levels of our lives. Weathering the insecurities & turmoilof a constantly changing sense of self and our perception of theworld requires some kind of anchor or stabilizing influence. Wemust find a resource within to get through the storms ofemotional turbulence, mental confusion and possiblydisconcerting energetic releases. If we lack this quality, whatcan we do? Boiled down and simplified? Turn Around! Almost everyhuman directs most of their energy towards resisting or avoidingpainful feelings or situations and seeking secure or‘pleasurable’ ones. One thing most haven’t tried is to StopResisting! Accept Chaos. Open up to and fully experiencenegativity and darkness. On the other side of chaos is a newlevel of peace. To radical? OK, more compassionately… Are you stuck in a place where youvalue security and stability? Is it blocking your ability toseek Truth or accept what is Real? You probably need to do somework on healing your wounded child, desensitizing yournarcissistic reactivity & neediness. The 'holding environment'you experienced as a very young child has a lot to do with howwell you can trust the universe to sustain you. All types ofEmotional Clearing work can help you gain more trust. You couldfind a spiritual teacher you can totally trust and allow thatperson to guide you through periods of turmoil. Using a symbolsuch as Jesus, the Holy Spirit or Buddha or a Higher Power canhelp you get through rough times during contemplation when youare uncovering disturbing aspects of your ego at work. Symbolssuch as these are repositories for a higher Truth. If we cannotfind basic trust in our own being, we can reach out and Trustthe Symbol that represents this Truth. This can work for certainpeople who have enough trust to place in the symbol in the firstplace. This is how faith works. Using any kind of method orsystem that involves projection can breed dependence which mustalso eventually be overcome. If you cannot muster enough trustin a symbolic representation, you can begin to change yourperceptions through many types of therapy where you are guidedclosely by a professional.
Energy & Stamina In the 'Teachings ofDon Juan', Carlos Castaneda’s mentor told him that a warrior'smost important task early on is the gathering of power (energy).This can be done in many ways on a few different levels.Basically, I see four main categories: 1. Physical (the body).Hatha Yoga is a first rate method. Aerobics can help a lot toincrease endorphins. 2. Mental (contemplative). You gain mentalenergy or power when your conflicting beliefs are resolved.Mindfulness practice reduces chaos. 3. Emotional / Energetic.Emotional clearing (again) Practices like Tai Chi & Reiki etc.harmonize your energy system. 4. Spiritual. Spiritual 'energy'is transformative energy itself. When you rest fully in theGround of Being or Stillness (as in deep meditation) the processof evolutionary transformation is taken to a new level. Support & Confirmation If you were going to jump off a cliffinto unknown waters wouldn't you want to be able to speak tosomeone who has already jumped off that cliff? For years Ilanguished at the edge of this cliff feeling alienated from theworld, but not knowing how, or feeling able to move on. One dayI met someone who was ready to leap as well and immediately wewere both launched into a rapid series of transformationalexperiences... I don't think it would have been possible withoutthe mutual support we gave to each other. This is the mainimpetus behind the founding of WFIH (Worldwide Fellowship ofIntegral Humans). I urge you to use the resources on the site tohook up with others on the Journey, and to share yourexperiences. It could make all the difference to someone at acritical time. The Course In Miracles says, "To have peace, givepeace"... and we can extrapolate... to have Love, give Love. Tohave a friend, be a friend. To get support, give support. You donot have to feel you are far advanced to reach out and givesupport or information or just a loving acceptance or embrace.Just as importantly, someone who is new to the Path or even achild can reveal an enlightening truth at any time. Out of themouths of babes... It is spiritual pride to close yourself offfrom the possibility of seeing Truth in anything and everything.Inquisitiveness & Radical Honesty Develop the ability toquestion everything. Bring every motive and avoidance of realityto the light of truth in a radically honest way. Learn to facelife with open arms and open eyes. This will rapidly change yourperception of the world and yourself. Deep contemplative inquiryallows us to discover and dismantle our story and our programsor patterns. Questioning works especially well on belief systemsthat we have adopted through our cultural / social conditioning.For an excellent book on 'self inquiry' see the book by A HAlmaas on the Self Stream page.
All of these avenues can be explored further in different placeson the WFIH website... see the Body Work page, the Energy Workpage, Emotional Clearing page & Integral Spirituality page.There are courses and tests and information available as well.(see below) About the author:Sebastian, Founder of Worldwide Fellowship of Integral Humans (agrassroots organization encouraging personal and globalevolution) Student of Spirituality for 35 years, Writer &Spiritual Counselor. sebastian@integralhumans.orghttp://www.Integralhumans.org
