Receiving and engaging in wise counsel can assist us with increasing our awareness and understanding of things. What things? How we think, what we say and what we do, primarily ... and the impact this has on our life and being. The progress we make in counsel depends entirely on how much we are able to see of ourselves during our various experiences in life (how well we can see in the many mirrors provided...are our mirrors of self-reflection clean?)... how open we are to observing ourselves as we are in the moment ... how much resistance we have to what we will encounter when we look into the mirrors provided. Thus it is very individual, and as mentioned before, it is our own work - no one can do it for us. We are provided with opportunity and tools, and we are either ready at this moment or not ... willing in this moment or not.
Some of us feel we Know Ourselves quite well; this is prior to realizing that for the most part we are asleep and not fully aware. Generally speaking, as humans, we mostly operate from unconscious patterns, conditioning and habits aquired over time. We tend to react to our experiences rather than engaging with them fully ... and consciously choosing our responses with awareness. It is quite easy to demonstrate to someone whether they are more awake or asleep. With simple practical methods, we can gain our own experience of this - then we see for ourselves where the Work is really needed in order to grow. We can then make the choice to engage in the Work or not.
Why do we do what we do? Why do we NOT do what we could do ... or even desire to do? We can identify and experience our thinking/emotional patterns ... typical responses and reactions to things. We can look at our personal history and gain understanding about where our patterns in life come from .. our attitudes, beliefs and values ... our relationship patterns, our strengths and weaknesses in character etc. Once we see these things clearly and gain understanding, we engage in erasing this history and the patterns which operate like a parasite in our energy system ... this will occur at your own pace depending on many factors.
Through our Work, we gain awareness of our own particular areas which interfere with advancement in Soul work as well as experiencing a better life while here. We can begin to understand how we create our reality on all levels - including health. The diligent work we do leads us to eventual freedom from the restrictions of psychic sleep, unconscious patterns, and unhealthy conditioning from the many experiences in our life. Everyone has stuff to work on ... we can learn to face ourselves, and accept what we see. Once we can do so with clarity, we learn the art of Know Thyself and Co-creation.
Some of you wish to engage in counsel for specific personal reasons in order to gain assistance and tools for use in everyday life situations: home or work, family dynamics and histories, personal relationships, anxiety, depression, working through past or present issues, addictions and so on. Feel free to come in for whatever personal situation you may wish to work with. It is not necessary for you to be engaged in the school on any other level. This is the same for body treatments as well. We are here in order to provide services according to your own individual plan - which you assist us in creating for you when we first meet.
For students: Remembering that seeking wise counsel is only one aspect for the Work, we commit to and are disciplined in working all the aspects of ourselves ... this promotes balance ... we commit to daily practices .. more on this later ...
