The following is an excerpt from my book (copyrighted but not yet published), THE SECRET BEYOND “THE SECRET” - LIVING FROM YOUR HIGHER SELF TO MANIFEST A MORE ABUNDANT LIFE

I spent years involved in conscious therapeutic processing of my issues. I also spent numerous hours in meditation to experience higher consciousness.

It is my observation that these two approaches to personal growth tend to be limited. Psychological approaches generally focus on the mental and emotional levels of the conscious mind and ignore the higher dimensions of spirit and psyche – the Higher Self. Spiritual practices like meditation do focus on the higher human dimensions – the superconscious – but generally ignore therapeutic processing of conscious and subconscious patterns of the psyche that are self-limiting patterns. As a result, I have developed what I call a “psycho-spiritual” approach to personal growth.

During that period of personal exploration, I discovered that when a person could achieve an appropriate level of depth or “altered state”, the unconscious could be made conscious—even deeply embedded memories that were formative experiences of present “dysfunctional” attitudes and patterns. I also found that a person could achieve a heightened state of awareness that that facilitates true healing because unresolved issues become resolved when one is able to access and integrate with one’s greatest dimension of wholeness and well being.

Working with the subconscious generally involves the identification and release of habitual reactions to life which were programmed in by prior experiences and which had a coping value at the time, but which now serve to inhibit a healthier, more fulfilling response to life. The work also involves reprogramming the subconscious along the lines of healthier, more positive responses to life.

The “subconscious” comprises our basic, instinctive drives—a more primitive, less developed evolutionary level which is imprinted with the thoughts and feelings of the conscious self and then carries the program of those as habitual, semi-automatic responses to life situations.

In the pages that follow, processes are shared which are designed to help you to address and heal your major issues. If you apply these processes regularly and practice deep meditation for experiencing your Higher Self, then, you, too, can change your life in profound and lasting ways as you live increasingly from your Higher Self.

In any event, our goal is to realize our highest potential as a human being – our highest capacities for wisdom, love, joy, creativity and inspiration.
