What is Personal Transformation &
what Methods do we Use to Achieve it?
Personal Transformation can be thought of as a form of
self-facilitated, never ending growth process. We engage in a
form of self-discovery, realization, and actualization that serves to constantly tap
into latent potential and call it forth in order to develop it, while letting
go of character flaws and problematic tendencies. Personal
Transformation is learning how to use our own mind in new and empowering
ways that train our spirit to higher forms of expression. We
choose who we are going to be, and direct all our thoughts, emotions,
visions and actions towards that way of Being. It's a form of
conscious story-telling. We decide what kind of story we can here
to tell, then we engage in telling it with as much passion, purpose and
creative skill as possible.
Personal transformation serves to develop our core essence as a "model
of the world" from the inside out. We develop our inner qualities
as our characteristics that form our natural expression and behavior. In
order to transform our "self" we must first recognize our Soul's
capacity as potential for expression by discovering our purpose and
gaining a sense of our destiny in terms of our life-story. We must
develop qualities that serve to develop our character allowing for a
natural expression of a new nature. In this sense, our environment
and life circumstances can remain the same while we become different in
terms of how we naturally interact and respond.
Another way of looking at this is to realize that whatever our
environment and circumstances are, is serving to shape us by what it
constantly activates in us. It affects us in a particular way, calling
forth certain aspects of our being that we then develop through
interaction, strengthening them and developing our character
accordingly. The models that we experience most often, becomes the
equivalent of our attitude, natural assumptions and basic perceptions
that determine how we approach things. Our approach is what shapes
our experience by how we look at it and what beliefs we have in play as
we do.
Transformation doesn't mean that we change in the basic sense, or that
we obtain something that we don't already have. It simply means
that we act to develop ourselves intentionally by bringing out latent
qualities that our ordinary life never required us to use. While
certain qualities were naturally called-forth through our conditioning
and interactions, a large percentage remains dormant and unused, yet it
is still available for us to use but must be either called forth
intentionally, or we have to place ourselves in the proper environment
that will serve to naturally stimulate it. At the same time that
we are choosing to call forth latent talents and abilities, we can
identify poor character traits that we will transform into virtues
instead. This is a form of self correction as deliberate creation
of our basic nature. We fully choose who we are, how we are going
to be, and what we stand for as a person. We become conscious within our
own life and use it as the true tool it is for self-expression and
full-actualization through the pursuit of our Soul's purpose that
reveals our destiny. There's nothing more powerful than a life lived
with purpose and deeper meaning.

Positive psychology is
creative, empowering psychology. It works by teaching people how to use
their own mind to self-develop and become the character capable of
telling a great story. It is not considered “therapy” but
rather “training”. Instead of approaching people and their situations
by looking for what’s wrong with them, it approaches it by saying that
the only reason our lives are the way they are is because of how we have
been taught to use our mind to perceive our experiences. It honors the
fact that we are not traumatized by the events themselves, but rather by
how we interpret events to give them meaning that says something about
us. What it says about us is what produces the traumatizing effect. It
operates from a position of cause, pro-creative and empowered in our own
lives as the conscious creator of our own experiences. It teaches new
ways to use the mind to restructure experience in a way that renders it
productive and meaningful in terms of providing lessons as learning experiences that mature us from a Soul level
of growth based on expanding our range of expression and what's possible
for us as a result. Positive Psychology provides us with the tools
we need to become the best that we can be. Tools that accelerate
our development and help us to live more enriching and fulfilling lives.
Sacred psychology is a
form of positive psychology that extends much further into the
empowerment aspects of development that also works out of our core
essence as our Soul which is the Eternal aspect of us. It is
self-determining and developmental in nature. It teaches us how to
recognize our Soul’s essence as our human design for personal
expression. It views the Soul as a “God-seed” of archetypal qualities
that are of the same nature as God, that we use as natural forces for
self-creation through self-expression. It provides even richer and more
advanced tools by teaching the true nature of the mind as essence
(intelligent energy) and the Soul as a seed of archetypal patterning
that has the complete programming for our personality, character,
identity which reveals our purpose, path and destiny.
Our destiny is set in
motion with the activation of our latent potential to become fully
actualized. Our destiny is determined by our spiritual DNA which
contains the code for our full development. Just as an apple seed only
has the potential as the information necessary to become and apple tree,
a human being is born into the world with a specific and specialized
design of their own choosing. While we can say that our potential is
unlimited in one sense, it is only through limitation that we are able
to express ideas into experiences. If we are not limited in design, we
don’t really express anything. Without limitation and specific coding,
our lives would lack continuity and consistency and would be vague and
sporadic.
We are born into the
world with specific potential as qualities that shape our character as
our basic personality. We become a certain way by virtue of natural
development based on our environmental conditioning which activates and
calls forth certain aspects of ourselves as a means of interacting with
people and circumstances. This develops those aspects spontaneously and
without conscious awareness. Our personality as our basic nature
becomes the basis for developing our character based on how we identify
with our experiences. When the conscious mind is awakened and begins
developing around the age of 8 years old, we begin thinking for
ourselves, problem solving, developing our “style” for thinking, have
emotional reactions to our own thoughts about things, and begin
identifying with our own thoughts. How our character develops
determines what type of story we naturally tend to tell, regardless of
what the actual circumstances are. Our stories first serve to create
our model of the world by how we think about it, then that model becomes
the template through which we live our life which gives it a consistent
theme.
Sacred Psychology works
from the basis of developing our self as a means of evolving our soul,
by teaching us how to work with Archetypes as a means of fully
actualizing our potential as our capacity for expression. Archetypes,
which are qualities as feelings that shape human characteristics, teach
us how to fully embody and act out our true potential allowing it to
shape our identity by evolving our character to learn how to tell the
type of story we desire to tell, instead of the haphazard one we started
telling as a result of our initial conditioning where we were primarily
determined by others. In spiritual traditions we have what we call the
second birth, the awakening of the soul to its true nature. The first
birth is unconscious as a means of other-conditioning, our second birth
is created by choice and personal will to be self-determined. We decide
who, what and how we are going to be, and we intentionally develop those
aspects of ourselves to shape our own character making it well-suited to
tell the kind of story we desire to tell. This is revealed to us as our
destiny. When we develop our potential and commit to self-expression we
choose our destiny and bring it about through willpower and
determination.
Our conditioned state as
our initial birth is primarily habitual and automatic in nature. This
means that in order to overcome it, we need to exercise our will through
self-discipline, focused intention, and commitment as a form of devotion
to a higher ideal. We have to create an image of ourselves as our
highest possibility for expression that we use as a guideline or formula
for creating. Other wise all goals and behavioral patterns are an
extension of our unconscious tendencies. If we don’t create a new
design or composition for creating that we use to guide our actions,
then we simply become the victim of our conditioning. We continue to
create out of a lack of awareness.
Sacred Psychology works by
providing us with the tools necessary to first self-explore, recognize
our “self” as our soul’s essence, then self-realize by intentionally
choosing to call forth latent potential which remains dormant in us and
commit to bringing into expression as a means of reshaping our identity
to new and higher forms of expression. To be self-determined is to be
self-directed. To embrace our ability to master our own mind in
claiming responsibility for our own soul’s evolution is true empowerment
of the ultimate kind. Self-growth is how we act to evolve our own
soul. To grow by becoming a higher version of ourselves that bring our
virtues into expression while letting go of our vices as character flaws
and unconscious tendencies that have serve to prevent them by
contradicting them.
Sacred Psychology is based
out of the gods of Mythology. Our personal Myth is our life’s story.
Our life’s story is our destiny that is lived within the circumstances
of our everyday life. Our purpose is revealed through recognition of
our soul’s essence as our inherent nature and potential for character
development. Our soul’s essence develops our personality as a natural
offspring, which then forms our identity as our thinking style and how
we relate to our own emotional thoughts. Our personality as the “actor”
of our identity shapes our character which lends itself to telling a
certain type of story which says something “about” us. What it says is
shaped by and reveals our beliefs about ourselves. The lesson, as an
experience, always teaches (expresses) the belief that motivates it.
Our beliefs are what shape our experiences by giving them meaning. The
meaning stems out of and supports our model of the world. We perceive
our model of the world as being true and based on fact, when in reality
it is self-created fiction that came about by how we attempted to “make
sense of things” while still primarily in an unconscious state.
Sacred psychology is an
experiential education in how to “become” what you were born to be. How
to develop yourself into your highest possible expression by fully
developing your latent potential, and reconditioning the way you are
expressing your current potential. It is a psychology of empowerment
through self-knowledge that is applied.
Spiritual Sciences is what used to be called
the Magical/Miraculous Arts that formed Hermetic Sciences when Spirit
and science were still considered the same thing. Before religion
and science were separated and set-up as opposing each other.
Esoteric Knowledge, thought of as occult (secret or hidden) knowledge
that's only available to a select few, is not entirely accurate.
It was only obtainable by certain people, because it required a large
knowledge base to comprehend. It is a body of knowledge that stems
out of the original foundation of all Arts and Sciences. It is
also knowledge of the human spirit that requires years of dedicated
practice that gave the initiate super-human powers. Powers of the
mind that can direct the forces of nature to manifest reality.
Power, that required a purifying of human character in order to be use
properly. It is also considered secretive because it communicates
via the universal language of images, symbols, numbers, colors and
sound. It is carried on communicated through art, story-telling,
song as prayer (chanting), music and dancing. It has to be
interpreted in order to be understood, this requires an even greater
level of intuitive skill. It went underground because the church,
desiring to claim all higher levels of spiritual knowledge for itself,
set out to murder and exterminate all people who possessed special
knowledge, forcing them underground into secret sects.
The spiritual sciences include not only the
natural sciences, but also physics, subtle energy, Consciousness,
creativity, Art, Numbers, Sacred Geometry, Universal Law and Principles.
It teaches Intuitive knowledge that requires an in-depth understanding
of the Law of Analogies/Correspondences as a means of developing finely
tuned interpretive skills that require masterful use of the imagination
for creating personal experience as a way of obtaining higher knowledge.
Unlike other spiritual practices, Esoteric sciences rely on practical
application as a means of gaining true knowledge. It not only
honors the individual experience, but teaches to only except knowledge
that can be experienced. Don't ever except someone else's
experience over your own.
All truth can be known through experience.
This prevents deception which requires us to take someone's word for
something and accept it as our own, believe in it, without being able to
know it through experience or through discernment of the Law of
Analogies.
Spiritual Sciences is the same thing as
Esoteric Sciences which are related to spiritual ideas of God as Life
Force energy being "all of life" and Nature itself, all is God,
including us. It teaches unity, interconnection and synthesis.
It goes within, and develops a rich inner life that it uses to interpret
outer experience. Exoteric sciences which formed religion,
teaches God as a entity that is separate and apart from Its own
creation, including us. It teaches external awareness as the
primary reality. It creates God as an image that requires worship.
Esoteric sciences teaches that we are God, God is within us, as us, and
therefore does not require worship, but rather to be loved and honored
in all of its forms. Whereas religion creates God as "man-like"
and worshiped in the form of Jesus, Esoteric sciences see God as
formless and as all form, and man as the potential for higher expression
through the deliberate cultivation of virtues by way of Alchemy and by
living the Path of Initiation into higher and more perfected states of
Being. Jesus is viewed as being one of the greatest initiates of
the Spiritual Arts, along with other greats such as Moses, Buddha,
Enoch, Hermes, etc., but a man nonetheless.
Spiritual Sciences which formed the basis
for Eastern Philosophies and spiritual practices focuses on developing
our higher mind, spiritual faculties and supersenses. It teaches
Mind development, working with and commanding natural Forces, miraculous
healing through a sophisticated understanding of spiritual principles,
and the art of performing knowledge through practical application.
All knowledge is obtained only through practice. Study of the
Minds, Soul, levels of consciousness, energy, transformation and
developing psychic abilities to use your mind to control matter and
direct natural forces through a form of rapport.
Spiritual Sciences is an in-depth knowledge
of the Human Spirit as an energetic, eternal Being and a thorough
working knowledge of electromagnetic energy and the natural forces that
govern the natural and astral worlds. How to use the
3-minds/selves in an aligned, congruent and powerful way. How to
master the use of your mind for experiencing reality. It
directly correlates with Shamanic medicine and quantum physics by
defining the hierarchy of planes of existence (levels of reality), four
elements (Feeling, thought, emotion, actions), Subtle energy as the
Astral and Etheric realm, and how all invisible forms correspond to
physical forms - the hologram (astral double), chakras, nadis, endocrine
glands, 5 major systems, and major organs as corresponding to each other
in a stop-down process.
It follows hand-in-hand with modern sciences
as natural sciences, biology, chemistry, mathematics, subtle energy,
quantum physics, consciousness, mind-over-matter, healing sound, color
therapy, art in all forms, applied psychology, herbs & diet, lifestyle
and healing arts. It approaches the human Being as having a
soul and eternal nature. It also teaches "Lunar knowledge" as well
developed intuition that sees all of life as organic and biological.
It's primary principle is "As above, so below. As below, so
above." Like begets like. We can discover the
invisible by recognizing its relationship to the visible and known
factors.
Prayer is considered Magic. It is the
same as meditation, contemplation and hypnosis. Verses and
prescribed prayer stemmed from the same idea as "spells" and magical
charms. Charms of making were similar to the ideas currently portrayed
for "manifesting" reality. Suggestions as affirmations, were
stated in present tense, as if and with emotional conviction, that
served to focus the mind which imagined the concepts as a living reality
which created "thought-forms" in the astral plane. Focused on
repeatedly and consistently, produced actual manifestation of the
desired experience. Because we can never violate choice and free
will of another person, all "wishes" had to pertain only to the self,
and could only include others if their will wished for the same thing,
or if the manifestation benefited them equally.
Esoteric traditions say that we all have the
capacity for perfection. For self-transcendence. Perfection
is not only considered our birthright, but our duty to God as the
Universal Life. The nagging feeling we all have that 'something is
missing" in an internal urge that compels ever towards something more.
A kind of eternal restlessness and relentless longing in our hearts for
more. This is intentionally designed to keep us moving into higher
and higher forms of ourselves. The problem is, we have forgot how
to "know" the deeper, invisible, spiritual realms, and so we fail to
connect the dots.
Alchemy and Personal Transformation:
A prime practice for spiritual sciences is
Alchemy as the process under taken for Personal Transformation as the
Path of Initiation. The purposeful and deliberate undertaking that
seeks to purify our character, cleansing our self of our impurities,
vices and bad traits, and intentionally choosing our higher virtues and
talents to develop fully into a masterful state of self-actualization by
becoming the best we can be. This is what's referred to as the
second birth or awakening. Our first birth and initial
conditioning is unconscious and without the use of personal choice and
the application of willpower. The second birth is a conscious
awakening where we access our inner being, discover our souls design as
our seeded capacity, and we intentionally develop latent potential into
masterful states by fully expressing within our current life conditions.
In this we are all ultimately fully responsible for our own development
and souls evolution to higher and more perfected forms of
self-expression. We strive to become "god-like".
The Role of a Teacher:
Spiritual Sciences, because it requires a
broad range of knowledge and the ability to "live" the knowledge by
applying it to our daily lives, requires a teacher who also serves as
mentor. In it's original form this was the relationship of an
apprentice. A student who studied under a master until they gained
masterful proficiency themselves. This was a maturing process that
often lasts a life-time. Spiritual Sciences does not have "goals"
or end-points of achievement that are markers for attainment, but rather
takes an attitude of constant and never-ending growth towards the
highest possible level of personal development. This is not
a path for everyone. Because we only "know" (remember) what is in
us inherently, if it is not seeded in us, we will not pursue the path of
spiritual mastery. It comes about only from a deep inner desire
for it that is relentless in nature. The path requires intense
commitment, discipline, and patience. It requires moral courage
and absolute confidence, belief in your ability, and trusting your
own experience over all-others.
There are "levels of training" like all
things, and which path you pursue depends on your souls design as
capacity for expression, what you feel a strong desire and love for,
have curiosity around, and how you plan on applying the knowledge as an
art-form. Spiritual/Healing Arts are called that because
"performing" them is an art-form. It requires high level of
intuitive ability, spiritual knowledge of energy anatomy, a holistic
understanding of all aspects of the individuals life and the ability to
actually "do it". There are usually "processes" involved that
require practice and confidence to perform effectively. Whereas
traditional medicine works off of differentials and "symptom tables",
Healing Arts takes the whole person into account and every realization
and recommendation is unique based on the person being treated.
The typical definition for Metaphysics is the subtle, invisible,
abstract realms of the physical world. Meta - meaning above or beyond -
the physical (physics) as incorporeal or supernatural. It is also
a branch of philosophy that is based on first principles, which include
ontology (nature of existence or Being) and cosmology (the origin and
structure of the Universe), and is intimately connected with
epistemology (how we obtain human knowledge). It's a philosophy that
attempts to describe the indescribable, the invisible realms that we can
measure and sense, but we can't see them with physical eyes.
It covers all areas of intuitive, psychic and supernatural
development. It includes psychic arts such as clairvoyance,
clairaudience, clairsentient and various forms of ESP and psychometry.
It can cover "medium-ship", astral travel and transferring consciousness
into other objects and beings. It bridges Sacred sciences in a
thorough understanding of the spiritual realms, nature of the soul and
the different levels of consciousness that exists in all things in
varying degrees and potencies. It is comparable to Esoteric Sciences in
the study of energy, the subtle realms and the spiritual hierarchy of
different planes of existence, Archetypal forces as Angels & Daemons,
the nature of electromagnetic energy, however it usually doesn't go into
masterful mind-development and Liberal Arts to the extent that
Sacred/Spiritual Sciences does, although it may.

What is Energy/Quantum Medicine?
Energy Medicine while taking on many pathways as all new forms of
healing tend to do, is basically about the human energy field, how it
works, and our conscious ability to influence, direct and transform it
through the quality of our emotional thoughts and beliefs about
ourselves, our body and how we heal. It focuses on our mind's
ability to not only direct or command energy, but the very nature of how
our consciousness influences matter at the subatomic level of
fundamental reality. The very term "consciousness" is used in its
primary holistic nature as the "state" as a whole organic model for
expression, that is comprised of the entire person in terms of mood,
intention, beliefs, values, expectations, desires, emotions, attitude,
etc. It's not what we are thinking in this exact moment, per say,
but rather our general attitude and over-all thinking/emoting style that
we hold and perceive out of most of the time.
Energy/Quantum Healing incorporates the
whole person including their energy (mind) field, their daily
lifestyles, quality of relationships, and the paradigms they perceive
life through. It is a holistic approach to full body/mind/soul healing.
It works at the level of cause, because it works at the soul/energetic
realm of pure potential that exists as organic patterning that starts as
an energetic frequency that forms a signal that then forms a whole
series of correspondences that unfold systematically through different
realms and levels existence simultaneously and spontaneously. It operates by working with the whole person instead of just the body,
or just the mind. It includes the areas of Healing Arts,
Allopathic Medicine, Alternative Medicine, Psychology, Subtle Energy,
Biology, Bio-energetic sciences,
Soul Science and Spiritual Evolution. It orientates itself from
the energetic level of cause, which when altered, changes the
manifestation at the physical level, which is actual healing.
Energy works by bringing the whole system back into equilibrium and
hormonious balance.
