Dwelling in the space between Heaven and Earth

… our first birth Embodied Spirit

the birth of the little self … the second birth

The new-born desires to be loved exclusively and without limit

This establishes a pattern of unrealistic expectations in the child, which parents, others and the environment cannot fulfil

Utopian expectations that needs such as safety, trust or love will be met completely and immediately, go unsatisfied.

A set of unconscious emotional templates is established – recreated when the need again arises - and acted out in the hope of gratification.

These need-based, unconscious templates (compulsions), push us into behaviours which are symptomatic signs of compensation.

we drag these need-based templates (imprints) around like baggage, without any real awareness of their influence on our behaviour.

‘We continually relate to the world from an ‘ego-centric’ point of view, misinterpreting our experience, limiting it to its meanings at the symptomatic level of our body-encapsulated-ego.’ (Dr. Stan Grof)

fragmentation results from competing needs fragmentation results from competing needs. With no conscious alternative, the fragmented life becomes the unquestioned norm.

Our unconscious life in our relationship with God =

Spiritual Blindness

Jesus replaces our blindness with a new vision

The new vision of reality? I am not who I thought myself to be

Sometimes you have to die inside in order to be reborn and rise again as a stronger and wiser version of yourself

ego death … the death of the little self

Rebirth of the True Self

The new vision? the space between heaven and earth
