Sea-Change

“We routinely disqualify testimony that would plead for extenuation”
Marilynne Robinson, The Death of Adam
I never intended to be an Outrider. I just wanted to do my marital and family therapy for which I was trained. However, with every door of opportunity that opened, I was pushed into the world of psychological trauma, which led to hypnotic/abreactive training, which through the utilization of trance, would connect me to a realm of non-physical helpers and protectors. This led me to align myself with a Transpersonal/ Spiritual Psychology perspective which combines psychological healing with spiritual growth.(see website on Transpersonal) I have spent two decades utilizing hypnotic/abreactive techniques in the healing of early childhood traumas, albeit physical, sexual, and emotion abuse. Understand, psychology was grounded in the belief that symptoms and manifestations are related to dissociated or blocked off traumatic experiences and that through hypnosis, the trauma could be accessed and healed. If unhealed, individuals were doomed to repeat the trauma in contemporary experiences. Hopefully the invaluable trauma research from Harvard is finally making its way to our collective consciousness because it provides us with an incredible understanding of the long term manifestations of early psychological trauma. (see website on Dissociation)
The world of Spiritual Guides, helpers and teachers that opened up to me over two decades ago has reinforced the belief that healing is ultimately at the Soul level. The Shamans and the healing tribes of Africa have long understood that altered states of consciousness are required to access and release the negative energy in order for the individual to achieve both psychological and spiritual balance. (see website on Spiritual Perspective). My book BEYOND THE VIOLATION OF THE SELF contains an in depth conversation with a high level Spiritual Guide.
We are currently in the midst of a Sea-Change, a paradigm shift towards a shift in consciousness towards a higher level of awareness, a greater soul connectedness. As Tolle writes in A New Earth, “what is arising is a new dimension of consciousness.” These shifts are always met with fear and uncertainties. Those in power resist change and consequently have to dismiss the new perspectives to preserve their current view of the world. You see, Earth is not going to allow denials to continue. Watch the headlines. Unresolved traumas are manifesting in horrendous behavioral reenactments.
As Zukav writes in Seat of the Soul, “we are on a journey toward authentic power. We are evolving from five-sensory humans into multi-sensory humans who will be able to perceive the role that our physical reality plays in a larger picture of evolution. It is this invisible realm that the origins of our deepest values are found.”
In each of us is a guiding force that knows how to take care of us and protect us. Through the trance state, a God given natural state of mind, we can tap into all the power and resources we have to help us heal. Take responsibility for healing your childhood wounds. Psychological healing and spiritual growth requires making conscious that which is unconscious.
