THIS IS the you that could and did do miracles. at some time for some reason we are told to stop doing miracles and toe the line. Somebody, who thinks they are telling us for our own good, says: “Don’t be more capable or more creative or just plain more magickal than the people around you.” We are threatened with being Rejected if we don’t give up the vision of the world opened up to us by our Magickal self. Many of us do give it up. We squash that piece of ourselves and become more like everyone else and, though we do a good act of fitting in, we feel like fakes, impostors, and liars. Even Worse, some of us assume that “they” (the ones who told us to fit in or die) were right, that we are really weird, crazy, broken, or evil. And to save others, we sacrifice ourselves."

http://www.aboutsoulworks.com/ Lily Myers' website well describes the seasonal cycle of change upon the earth ... a journey that continues unendingly, offering a map for understanding the process of transformation. Spring is the season of birth (or rebirth) which gives way to the full expression of life in summer. Autumn is the season of dying, and winter is a time of incubation and gestation for the rebirth that comes again in spring. Since the human body is made of the same elemental matter as the earth, it is reasonable to believe that humans experience the same seasonal cycles within their psyche. The process of change is an archetypal, mythic journey of life, death, and rebirth.

What we steadily, consciously, habitually think we are, that we tend to become."

Book excerpts, teachings, articles, a calendar, chat room, and boutique, address spiritual/consciousness work as attention. When you root attention deep inside your body, you awaken to energy as a felt experience. The quality of our attention to this energy has the power to bring about healing and wholeness - and move you toward Radical Aliveness.
http://www.aboutsoulworks.com Lily Myers' website well describes the seasonal cycle of change upon the earth ... a journey that continues unendingly, offering a map for understanding the process of transformation. Spring is the season of birth (or rebirth) which gives way to the full expression of life in summer. Autumn is the season of dying, and winter is a time of incubation and gestation for the rebirth that comes again in spring. Since the human body is made of the same elemental matter as the earth, it is reasonable to believe that humans experience the same seasonal cycles within their psyche. The process of change is an archetypal, mythic journey of life, death, and rebirth.

http://www.palmirotta.com/ and http://www.ontosophy.org Francesco Palmirotta's sites. Ontosophy means "the Wisdom of Being". Beginning in 1985, Psychosomatic Ontosophy was developed from ancient humanistic philosophies and practices by Francesco Palmirotta, and applied to different scientific and artistic fields including music therapy, psychotherapy, education, art, and philosophy . It is developed from Socrates' maieutics (the art of being born from the self into the self) and its philosophical origins, which go back to Pythagoras, as do all Western notions of humanistic therapy. It is integrated with the theories and approaches of Carl Rogers, Abe Maslow, and Rollo May, through the concepts of being, knowledge, and love.The Psychosomatic Ontosophy Energy Centre operates a living community of psychotherapists, music therapists, and art therapists in the hills near Cassano delle Murge, West of Bari, in South Italy.

With present-day knowledge, technology, standard of living, and extended longevity, it doesn’t have to be that way. Nor can a human being flourish, except in a limited sense, by harming the world around him or her. This is because, the more one advances in flourishing, the more own flourishing becomes interdependent with that of hir society and natural environment."
