WHAT YOU WERE NEVER TOLD ABOUT THE JOURNEY OF
TRANSFORMATION
For the past fifty years, we have been using the word
“transformation” to describe a process of profound inner awakening,
shifting you from one state of consciousness to another. That word
has become a part of our common parlance, so much so that its
deeper meaning has rarely been examined. By deeper meaning, I am
referring to how the journey of transformation is understood when
approached as a mystical experience. And, if you stop for a moment
to truly think about what it means to undergo an actually
“transformation”, you would realize that such an experience can
only be considered within the context of the mystical landscape.
Anything less than that must be thought of as a “transition”, a
shift from one similar state of consciousness to another, which is
not at all the same as an actual experience of
“transformation”.
We are living at perhaps the most profound time in human history, a
time in which the whole of humanity is undergoing a collective
“transformation” – not a “transition”, but a transformation. We are
being catapulted into several “other” ways of experiencing life,
all simultaneously. For example, we are rapidly shifting from a
“matter-based” society to one completely steeped in “energy
consciousness”, from energy technology to energy medicine to energy
fuel. We are all swiftly leaving behind the familiar world of phone
lines, oil fuel, and business as usual and learning to adapt to a
society organized by computer technology, Facebook, and the
Internet. This is just the beginning of our new “energy based”
Earth lifestyle and believe me, there is no turning back. This is
what transformation looks like: It is complete, thorough,
consuming, and it renders the past from which it came (your
previous self) as no longer necessary to the continuing journey of
your life.
My experience as a teacher in the field for so many years is that
few people truly understand the mystical nature hidden within the
journey of transformation. Rather, people are far more familiar
with “transitional” experiences, which are certainly vital to one’s
inner process, but they can also be the source of great
obstructions. I’ve entitled this workshop, “What You Were Never
Told About the Journey of Transformation” because the fact is most
people have never had this experience explained to them in such a
way that they can begin to understand why they started to undergo
emotional changes or why relationships began to breakup, no matter
what they tried to do to stop that from happening.
This is an introduction to the body of the work on transformation
that will be taught at this workshop:
Transformation is an active archetypal force. As such, this
archetypal energy has a specific agenda, a goal that is continually
pulsating within the cycles of change that are set into motion in
your life. Transformation is a structured journey that has seven
stages or passages that we progress through as individuals (and as
a society and global community). These are: Revolution (birth of
the inner Self); Involution (identifying the emotional wounds and
archetypes of one’s inner Self); Narcissism (the inner Self
struggles for healing and empowered identity); Integration (the
inner Self evolves beyond the stage of wounds and the shadow
behavior as its power identity); Evolution (the inner Self seeks an
expression of love and service to others, moving beyond the stage
of the Self as main focus); Awakening (the inner Self becomes open
to mystical consciousness); and Cosmic Union (the Inner Self
experiences genuine wholeness/holiness).
My goal in creating this workshop is to lead people through the
mystical pathway hidden within the journey of transformation,
exploring each of the seven stages in a personal and meaningful
way. A person’s entire life story can and often does unfold within
the seven stages of transformation. Because each stage represents
such a profound shift in consciousness, individuals often remain in
a certain stage for years, “transitioning” from one healing
technique to another, for example, believing they are progressing
on their healing journey when, in fact, they are not making any
real progress at all.
This is a bold and very powerful workshop. I hope you will consider
joining me.
Love, Caroline
