Description

HOW TO FIND YOUR WHOLE SELF: A Universal Approach to Spiritual Awakening

is a new, innovative framework designed to accelerate and ground the spiritual awakening process.

This body of work is an invitation to recognize, realize and actualize your Whole Self.

It's human nature to seek and explore, but when you are unaware of what you are looking for, or don't know how or where to look, then the search can be difficult, longer, and more complex than it needs to be.

For it's when you venture inside, and dive into inner-being, that your awakening gathers momentum.


SO WHY AM I OFFERING THIS COURSE?

This course is designed to help you explore 'spiritual' awakening and to develop a broader view of human consciousness.

It's for adults of all ages and all levels of awareness, an integral approach to personal and spiritual development.

I created this course, because in the summer of 2007 I collapsed and separated from my body. That experience showed me beyond doubt that there is more to us than just physical bodies and everyday minds, that there are 'layers' of being everyone can learn to explore, recognize, realize and actualize.

Since then, I've been sharing the benefits, possibilities and potentials of awakening in a number of ways (see my bio for more information).

I've experienced the highs and lows of the spiritual journey, including diverse phenomena and weeks of prolonged states (samadhi) -  in which the individual and universal unite as Oneness.

As a one-time mystic, I'm acutely aware of spiritual crises and the dangers of spiritual flight, so you are in safe, experienced hands.

I will be sharing some of the traps and pitfalls of the spiritual path you may come across, so you can be better prepared.

This is an all-inclusive approach, designed to help you find what you are seeking for beyond cultural and religious labels, which is ultimately the freedom of being you, of being your Whole Self.

For the organic goal of the spiritual search is to be whole, for when you are whole, seeking has ended.


So this course has been written with the intention to provide the knowledge, tools and impetus to further your awakening, to support the deepening of your awareness.

You will have access to a number of contemplative videos, as well as numerous online published articles and various other resources.

There's a lot of information in the videos, so repeat listens and reads are recommended.

Learn in your own time, and at your own pace. There's no rush.

A 'slowly but surely' approach will give you the most confidence, consistency and solidity.

Personal support is directly available through Direct Messaging on the Udemy platform for anyone with paid enrollment.

You won't be left 'high and dry' - I'll be with you every step of the way, but please be patient when waiting for a response.


AWAKENING 

When I  first began 'waking up', I had no specific belief system, no guru or regular practice, so I learned the hard way; from life experience and prolonged states of 'higher' consciousness.

The expansive states of consciousness I experienced were a natural part of my awakening and more common than I initially realized.

It was a difficult path, but the independent 'mystical' route gave me the freedom to cross-reference personal experiences with many spiritual traditions and cultures.

And, as many others have done, I realized the fundamental Oneness at the core of the schools of Yoga, Mysticism, New Age Thought, Advaita, Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism and Mysticism.

I learned firsthand you don't need to be a Buddhist to experience Buddha Mind, and you don't need to be a Christian to experience Christ Consciousness.

I recognized the perennial truth binding all religions, spiritual philosophies and belief systems, the heart of which has many names; Spirit, Love, Consciousness, God, The Divine.

As the Hindu sage and mystic Ramakrishna realized, the world's various religions and enlightenment systems are "so many paths to reach one and the same goal", for they culminate in a singular, unified sense of being.

So I developed this nonsectarian universal framework for spiritual awakening, blending Western psychology and science with Eastern spirituality and mysticism.

So the goal of this course is to find your Whole Self, or at least, to take a step closer to realizing it.

For YOU are as worthy, as capable, and as valuable as anyone else. 

In a nutshell, that's how and why I created this course.

Please join me, and be the change you want to see.
