In this workshop I focus on one of the key themes in my new book, Transdimensional Spirituality: Cultivating Mystical Vision and Illuminating the Soul. I explore the spiritual path of the Earthbound self, from its earliest spiritual yearnings to the attainment of luminous absorption with source consciousness. During this workshop you receive instructions for the practice of conscious contentment and guidance for letting go of self-preoccupation and entering a blissful state of self-forgetting. You will discover that the release into unity consciousness is the ultimate fulfillment of the spiritual practice of our Earthbound self, and the doorway to the higher dimensional journey of the soul. You will not only learn about practices that lead to luminous absorption, you will also practice them deeply enough to taste that illumined state.

Athena Laz is a spiritual mentor, lucid dream teacher and psychologist. I recently discovered her books The Alchemy of Your Dreams and The Deliberate Dreamers Journal. What she shares in them, and perhaps even more the way she shares, really caught my attention. Speaking with Athena it became even more clear that her orientation and spiritual history were a perfect fit for our discussion on the awakening power of sleep and dreams. w: https://www.athenalaz.com Subscribe to The Artist of Possibility Magazine w: emergenceeducation.com/the-artist-of-possibility

Spiritual growth is often thought of in terms of awakening to our true nature and divine source of our being, but spiritual growth is more than just awakening to the truth of who we are. Awakening reveals the inner source of our being and initiates our start of the path of spiritual growth. Our divine source is said to be whole and complete already, but that source flows into the world through us and we are often limited by fear and pain. In this conversation Lauralee Kelly and I share how we can heal our pain and become a more perfect vehicle for the inherent wholeness of our divine essence. You will discover why even consistent access to awakened awareness is not enough to find true fulfillment in life. You will explore the four most common obstacles to wholeness and how they can be healed and transcended. False beliefs and negative identifications. Lack of sufficient inner resources. Inappropriate boundaries. Unwillingness to forgive yourself or others. CONNECT WITH LAURALEE w: https://www.lauraleeke

In this dialog Jeff Carreira speaks with award-winning filmmaker, writer and educator Nora Bateson about how we as human beings engage together in community and the underlying dynamics that make them healthy. You will see how a community is a mutual learning environment and discover why our overly-individualistic cultural tendencies make it difficult for us to find the sense of community that we crave. By the end of the discussion it will be clear that thriving communities need to be spacious enough to allow members to take action freely.

In this dialog I speak with Hans Höhener who devoted a great deal of his life to studying and translating works by and about the Indian mystic Sri Aurobindo and The Mother. The discussion begins with an account of the path through spiritual literature that brought Hans to encounter Sri Aurobindo through the writing of one of the great sage’s disciples Satprem. As the conversation continues we discuss the vision of the Supramental Energy and how Sri Aurobindo and The Mother worked to bring that divine energy into manifestation on Earth.

In this dialog Jeff Carreira speaks with Dr. Erin Prophet, the daughter of two famous spiritual leaders, Mark and Elizabeth Clare Prophet. Her father started the group as The Summit Lighthouse in 1958. After his death in 1973, Erin’s mother became the spiritual leader of the group, which has also been known as Church Universal and Triumphant (founded 1974). In the late 1980’s Elizabeth began predicting that a global "karmic" reckoning was near, based on her interpretation of both Eastern and Western scriptures. Church members infamously built huge underground shelters that they supplied and briefly occupied in anticipation of a variety of disasters. As her mother’s daughter, Erin had a unique vantage point from which to view it all. In this conversation we discuss her book Prophet's Daughter: My Life with Elizabeth Clare Prophet Inside the Church Universal and Triumphant and attempt to unweave the subtle complexity of both the miracle and madness of spiritual communities.

Mary Adams talks further with Jeff Carreira about the time she spent with Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj in Mumbai, India in 1973. In this conversation we hear about what drove her to leave Australia and head to India in search of enlightenment, why she traveled across the country to meet a little-known spiritual teacher, and how she came to spend nearly every day for weeks sitting and walking with one of the greatest nondual teachers of the modern age.

This conversation offers a fascinating exploration of the miraculous potential and dramatic dangers of the guru/disciple relationship and intensive spiritual practice. By examining the extraordinary life choices of Tim Dyson you will see what draws people to engage in extreme forms of spiritual practice, what can happen when it goes well, what happens when it goes wrong, and what we can learn from it all. As a teenager in England Tim sought meaning in the anarchist messages of punk rock until a health crisis, caused by his punk rock lifestyle brought him to the spiritual path. His path began when he worked with two Chinese masters of chi gong. This proved to be a stepping stone to becoming one of the closest disciples of a Balinese kundalini master. Tim then devoted 12 years of his life participating in intensive spiritual practices at his teacher’s ashram in Bali. w: timothydyson.com
