- The Esoteric Significance of This Work -
Unveiled, without the cloaking necessary to fit into the framework of modern psychotherapy, the work of Integrative Awakening is actually assisting, what is esoterically referred to as, the First, Second and Third Initiation on the Path of Evolution. We are bringing the Light of Awareness or Truth into the physical, emotional and mental body and facilitating a major evolutionary shift in consciousness. In this work, we are literally integrating the Christ Self, (or Soul, Awareness, Love/Wisdom, Buddha Nature) into conscious embodiment.
When I explain the work of Integrative Awakening, I do so in many different ways and from different perspectives. Engaging in this work is much more simple than trying to put it into words! Most of the time, I attempt to explain this unique work by using terms that are relatable for people and that are common to modern psychology or emotional process work.
I stay clear of religious dogma and I do my best to use simple language when assisting people in navigating their awareness into the heart and body. This is so we can speak gently and directly to the emotional self and so the body itself can understand and truly experience what is happening in the process.
At the same time, there is most definitely a deeper, more esoteric aspect of this work which hides just under its outer expression. Although the work of Integrative Awakening takes place within the domain of our human psychology, we are, in actuality, facilitating a major evolutionary shift in consciousness. In this work, we are literally assisting the infusion and integration of the Christ Presence (Soul) into conscious embodiment. We are working directly with the integration of the Soul (Love/Wisdom) and the human personality; bringing the two into conscious and harmonious union. This is one of the mysteries of this work.
Initiation and The Path of Awakening
I have tried to veil the more esoteric significance of this work from myself and others for a long time. During the earlier years of this work, I simply wanted to be a "good therapist" who facilitated catharsis and helped people resolve their psycho-emotional issues. However, through the process of my own evolution (Soul Integration/Awakening), and knowing what people required for their next level of unfoldment, it became extremely difficult for me to continue hiding the actual esoteric nature and significance of this work.
I have studied the teachings of esoteric psychology since the age of 21. These teachings have had a profound effect on my being and have always been in the background influencing the work I offer to others. However, in recent years, as planetary consciousness continues to accelerate, I encounter larger numbers of people who are hungry for the direct Truth and the Fire of the Heart in its more unveiled Presence!
In the Bible, which many people consider a highly enlightened source of esoteric mysteries, we find that the experiences Jesus went through are symbolic representations of 'initiations' that each one of us, consciously or not, will go through in our lives.
The biblical Jesus represents our own Christ Self; represents the intiatory Journey of the Soul that each of us are on. For example, it is related that the Christ child is born in the manger, surrounded by a number of animals who were living in there as well. In esoteric understanding, this represents the First Initiation, which is known as the "Birth."
The First Initiation
The First Initiation, or the "Birth," is when a person experiences the first evolutionary stages of their awakening; when the first spark of Light (the Christ, Love, Soul Awareness) is born in the manger or cave of the heart, surrounded by the animal passions of our primal human nature. This Birth Initiation stimulates the heart center and is our first impulse toward love and goodwill. According to the esoteric teachings, a great percentage of humanity has already passed through the First Initiation.
The Second Initiation
Later in Jesus' life, we read that he enters into the river Jordan to be baptized. This Initiation takes place in the element of water, relating to the emotional body, and is known as the "Baptism" or the Second Initiation. According to esoteric teachings, the Second Initiation is the stage in one's life when the Christ Self or Soul (the Radiance of Love and Wisdom) is infusing/integrating into the emotional body.
Again, according to the esoteric wisdom teachings, the Second Initiation can be very challenging. For here we encounter the stage in a person's life where the Radiance of Love and Wisdom, the Christ Self, or Soul Awareness, is infusing its Revealing Light into the depths of our human psychology. This evolutionary process begins to reveal and expose the ancient delusion, glamour, misperception and unconsciousness that has been buried in our emotional body for lifetimes! In this stage, we have the challenge of making our way through the thick "fog and mists" created by the Fire of Awareness (Soul) coming into direct contact with the watery and deluded nature of our emotional body.
The Third Initiation
The Third Initiation is known esoterically as the "The Transfiguration." In the Bible, it is told that Jesus climbs the mountain and is there "transfigured" while accompanied by two of his disciples. At this stage of our awakening, the Radiance of the Soul begins to infuse itself into and fully illuminate the mental body. This Initiation brings the full Illumination of Truth into the mental body.
The Evolution of Psychospiritual Integrative Awakening
Because of my training in esoteric psychology, during the course of my work with people, I began to sense how the subtle inner processes of these esoteric "Initiations" were affecting a person's psyche. I began to see clearly that much of what we experience as an emotional crisis, is in actuality an evolutionary challenge of awakening. And this challenge of awakening requires us to make new choices for our psychological and spiritual evolution. This is why I had to shift the Integrative Awakening work away from simply listening to endless ego-based stories or just assisting people in resolving emotional issues.
It became obvious to me that the present day science of psychology cannot be fully supportive to a person who is experiencing a deeper evolutionary challenge of Soul Integration. (This is not referring to Transpersonal or Soul-Centered Psychology, which is more aligned with what I am referring to here.) Again, in my work with people, I could see the awakening symptoms of these initiations at work just beneath the so called emotional crises or trauma a person was experiencing.
As my intuition, skill and heart courage increased, I would work with people knowing that the Soul, the Heart, or the Christ Presence, was actually in the process of integrating into the person's bodily experience. Then, of course, the Integrative Awakening work really made a drastic shift, and so did everyone I was working with!
Although I was reluctant at first to reveal the relationship of the Soul Initiations to the specific emotional or life challenge a person was experiencing, I did ultimately find that most people are very appreciative to receive this deeper truth. I also find that most people feel very relieved when they realize that their personal emotional challenges are, in reality, a larger, more impersonal challenge of awakening.
The Unveiled Fire of the Fearless and Intimate Heart is offering Its Evolutionary Call to all who can respond.
