In the course of this work, we develop on various levels of our being:

  • In our spirit, we move from the separation of duality to unity.
  • And in our mind, we move from images and vicious circles to truth.
  • In our will, we move from forcing currents and withholding, to receptivity and a willingness to give.
  • And in our emotions, we move from being blocked and numb, to being flowing and changing.
  • In our bodies, we move from being frozen and split, to being open, breathing and integrated.

The Way Out

Over time, we will develop discernment and a truer perception about the world around us. We will shift from our defensiveness, to a stance of openness and transparency.

The emotional reactions of others may affect us, but that doesn’t mean they activate us. We will be wise in our self-disclosure and rigorous in self-honesty.

We will learn to become vulnerable and we will know peace.

Following is an overview of the work we can do to heal our souls. 

• Something triggers an emotional reaction
Bring reason to our emotions to discover the cause.

• Come out of blame and being a victim
Take responsibility for seeing cause and effect in ourselves.

• Pray and meditate to see where we are not in truth
Use mature ego to connect with Higher Self.

• Find the image
Clearly express the statement of the mistaken belief.

• See the duality
Reveal the misconception and face all sides of reality.

• Re-educate the inner child with the truth
Impress the soul substance with new awareness.

• Feel the buried pain
Release the unfelt pain of unmet needs.

• Uncover real needs
Connect with our longing to love and be loved.

• Find and unwind the forcing current
Or find the collapse into hopelessness.

• Discover negative pleasure
Become aware of the childhood re-creation.

• Recognize faults
Reveal the triad of pride, fear and self-will.

• Transform negative intention
Find where and how we refuse to give.

• Search for a no-current
Feel and move the stuck energy that says no to life.

• Pray for healing
Let divine energy fill and heal the soul dent.
