“Psychonauts”- Navigating the Mind

Forging into the unknown reaches of the mind, heart, and soul.

Our summons- our vocation is calling us into the uncharted frontier of our minds… and into a greater understanding of our human condition. Exploring who and what we are- the psychology of our own being is fundamental to our emerging path. This is courageous worka conversation that you may not want to have with yourself as it brings you deep into your psyche. Curious yet tentative, you accept the open invitation to embrace the uncertain work of excavating, examining, and discerning the inner aspects of your “self”…the impulses, thoughts, feelings, etc… the healthy and neurotic ego… all that is feared and desired… and the tendencies to “cling” and “avoid”.

Beneath the mask of our persona, the identity we project onto the world, there lies  a vast and empty space cueing the unfolding nature of our true being.  Into the darkness of the unknown, there is a strong sense of familiarity as one travels “home” directly into the depths of their consciousness. Instinct, intuition, and devotional curiosity guides us through our trepidations. In the “light” and in the “darkness” of our shadow consciousness, we are not divided but united to discover the integration of a larger “SELF”- one of greater awareness- open, expansive, and compassionate- mature, wise, and selfless.

Diving into this unknown frontier of our own psyche, we practice and work to cultivate and manifest a transcendent form of energy. A higher energy and greater consciousness to transform what genuinely holds us back from being fully present in awareness. This is an intuitive wisdom to see and understand things as they truly are- free of preconception and free to unfold and reveal their truth. Into the vastness and unknown space of our psychic interiority, there is freedom in the realization of intuitively knowing and understanding what limits our fullness of being is the “power” we give our patterns to see and perceive things within a narrowly conceived framework. Our brain- our mind- our heart- and our soul has unlimited power and resource when given the opportunity to open fully into our conscious awareness… to grow, to expand, to heal, and to flourish.

Into the reaches of our minds, we are focused and fearless- knowing and understanding our own reflective “truth” and the “truth” of our collective being. It is this realization that nourishes our devotion to navigate the unchartered space of awareness. Balanced and calm, we observe with abiding curiosity the events of mind- and we learn to discern the revelational quality of what is arising as it is occurring. To genuinely know ourselves- the psychology of our being- is to know the mystery of what makes us truly human. In the “space” of our expansive awareness, there is a guiding “star” for all to follow- a “light” that will radically transform your life if you are brave and bold enough to accept the invitation.
