A
great transformation is reshaping human consciousness
in a fundamental way. This transformation is the largest
event in human history, except the genesis of humanity.
It is that big. Nothing before has happened like it.
Within a few generations the entire human species,
every individual, will experience more than the five
senses can detect. Our understanding of ourselves
and experience of ourselves are changing dramatically.
In ways large and small we are beginning to sense
ourselves as more than we thought we were, more than
bodies and minds, more than accidents in a random
universe of inert – dead – matter. From
our emerging vantage point, not even the stars themselves
are dead. Everything is an expression of Life, a form
of Life. There is nothing but Life and we are Life.
With
this transformation comes new potential as well as
new experiences, a new way of evolving as well as
a new way of experiencing ourselves, and a new understanding
of power. The new way of evolving is through spiritual
growth. The old species evolved through survival.
Now survival alone is insufficient. We long for more
than existence – we long for something even more significant,
for the reason we were born. We long to touch meaning
and purpose and to live them. We sense that we are
on the Earth for a reason and we thirst for that meaning.
The
new way of understanding power is the alignment of
the personality with the soul. The old way of understanding
power is the ability to manipulate and control. That
type of power is now counterproductive. It produces
only violence and destruction. The new potential is
the Universal Human – humans who are beyond nation,
religion, race, sex, and economic circumstance; who
are citizens of the Universe (not children of the
Universe); and whose allegiance is to Life.
This
is the backdrop against which every individual and
collective experience is now occurring, from the birth
of a child to the dissolution of a marriage to conflict
between nations to economic turmoil to the emergence
of new interpersonal and social structures built on
harmony, cooperation, sharing, and reverence for Life.
Without an understanding of the great transformation
in which we are participating, we cannot grasp the
magnitude of the changes that are underway in the
human experience and in us. We cannot comprehend or
use the new capabilities that we are acquiring or
attain the new aspirations that are now coming to
us.
The
purpose of the Seat of the Soul Institute is to assist
individuals in the creation of authentic power, to
contribute to the new species that we are becoming
by providing tools that help illuminate the differences
between frightened parts of the personality and loving
parts of the personality, reveal opportunities to
challenge frightened parts and cultivate loving parts,
choose intentions consciously, consult intuition,
and trust the Universe. We invite you to experiment
with your creativity, follow your healthiest impulses,
and begin to use your life consciously and constructively.
I
am grateful to be on this journey with you.
Love,
