Spilling the Script

An overview of Pathwork teachings

THE SELF. CARE. SERIES, Book One

Spilling the script: A concise guide to self-knowing

There’s a script running your life. It was written long before you were old enough to question it.

Hidden beneath our thoughts and reactions is an unconscious pattern that quietly shapes our relationships, choices, fears and struggles. The Pathwork Guide calls this the work of the Lower Self. Left unseen, it repeats the same story—again and again.

Spilling the Script reveals that hidden script.

Drawing on the timeless wisdom of the Pathwork Guide, Jill Loree translates profound spiritual teachings into a practical map of the human psyche. Discover how the Higher Self, ego, inner child, shame, images, masks and negative intentions all fit together—and how they create the recurring patterns of everyday life.

More importantly, learn how to stop identifying with the script—to stop acting it out—and begin living from the truth of who you really are.

If we come to know ourselves, we come to know God. There is nothing we must believe to do this.

"The truth is that love is the key to all life and the only safety there is. That is the great truth…

Before this truth can be discovered, you need to discover where, within the depths and recesses of your being—not at first conscious to you—you violate this law of truth and love.

And every single human being does."

– Pathwork® Guide Q&A #161

The promises of healing through spiritual work

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

In our spirit, we move from duality to unity.
In our mind, from images and vicious circles to truth.
In our will, from forcing currents and withholding, to receptivity and generosity.
In our emotions, from numbness to flow.
In our bodies, from frozen and divided to breathing, open and integrated.

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.

"If you demand of your life—and therefore of any path you contemplate entering—to bypass feeling your anxiety and your pain, to avoid owning up to your dishonesties, your cheating, your spitefulness, your games, and your more or less subtle pretenses, then it might be better for you not to start on this path.

But if you expect a real effort and are prepared to embark on the journey into yourself to find, acknowledge and bring out whatever is in you, if you summon all your inner truthfulness and commitment for the journey, if you find the courage and humility not to appear other than you are even in your own eyes, then you have indeed every right to expect that this path will help you realize your full life, and fulfill your longing in every conceivable way.

This is a realistic hope. You will increasingly know it to be so."
