Terry Patton--free presentation on Spirituality and Evolution
Terry Patton is one of the wisest and most articulate spokespersons for the current shift of consciousness now underway. This presentation (free) will, I am sure, be well worth listening to. We are lucky to live in a time when such events are so readily available to us all. Google Terry Patton, then add Surrendering to Spirit and Incarnating Your Soul for more info.
Dear Dorothy,
I’m writing to invite you to a free online seminar I’ll be teaching on Saturday, April 25th, called:
‘Surrendering to Spirit and Incarnating Your Soul:
An Integral Vision for Becoming a True Evolutionary’
Some of us are feeling called to be the change we want to see in the world, to become a real force for healthy conscious evolution.
But what does it take to become a true integral “evolutionary?” To not only wake up, but to become higher consciousness in action? To go beyond ego and yet to contribute your own special gifts?
I believe it takes a life of practice, a journey of surrendering to the deeper, often unnoticed, currents of life and consciousness so that you become the embodiment of your soul and of evolution itself.
You literally become the head, heart and hands of Spirit, so that evolution is always happening through you to answer the challenges of your life and of the greater world—and in the particular ways that only you, right here, right now, can.
Part of my ongoing exploration of what I call “Integral Soul Work” has been working with dissonance and paradox. Spiritual practice awakens us from the surface levels of experience to the conscious Mystery of Existence.
Soul work takes us on a highly personal, deep inward journey, allowing our most authentic singular character to take over our lives, letting the inauthentic and superficial aspects of us fall away.
That's why both spirituality and soul work are associated with “going deep inside” and enacting an inner alchemical transformation of our consciousness.
The dissonance comes from the fact that it’s “game time” on the planet; our world is speeding up, and our global crises are becoming more urgent and complex. Some people think we’ve arrived at a time where the inward-focus of spirituality and soul work have become a luxury we cannot afford.
But my immersion in spiritual practice and soul work, anchored in integral theory, has shown me that it is exactly the opposite: it is by awakening to awareness and attuning to the voice of our soul that we can actually become effective change-agents.
We can honor the fact that our soul is on a journey AND so is our shared world. And the two journeys are interdependent. Effective, sustained, wise activism requires full-spectrum soulful awakened activists.
This implies two kinds of mystical practice. Radical awakening as consciousness liberates us from false identities and divisions, liberating awareness.
That’s primary, but it won’t help us answer personal questions, like Where should I move? Who should I marry? What house should I buy? or What is my life purpose?
To answer these hugely consequential questions we need to tune in to our highest relative intuition.
We need to contact a deeper source of knowing. Our hearts need to be able to discern the voice of our soul, and cultivating that relationship is a profound journey.
Integral Soul Work integrates these two forms of mysticism in a practical way that you can cultivate to actually live your life’s true purpose.
This is profoundly self-actualizing and personally gratifying, but it’s even more important for the sake of our world. Our crises are calling us to be the change we want to see in the world.
In the special online event, I’ll be sharing about how to practice with soul and spirit to achieve this depth of surrender and embodiment:
Join me at No Charge for
‘Surrendering to Spirit and Incarnating Your Soul:
An Integral Vision for Becoming a True Evolutionary’
An integral vision is indispensable for anchoring this kind of authentic evolutionary consciousness, enabling you to see the full spectrum of the outer and inner cosmos, and to inhabit all the dimensions of your own being and understand clearly how you are related to others and the world—shadow and light, heart and soul, interior and exterior, masculine and feminine.
You can come to stand at the heart where all the polarities intersect as the dazzling fabric of conscious awareness that is synchronizing and aligning so that you can be a channel through which grace can pour into this world.
I hope for this seminar to be an intimate, immersive experience. I’ll offer my findings of over four decades of advanced mystical, intellectual and embodied investigation into the higher reaches of the spiritual path and the deepest truths of what it means to be a true evolutionary.
You’ll walk away with a practical understanding of living a truly evolutionary life—every day.
In the course of this session, I will share with you…
How your soul’s daemon is the archetypal “strange attractor” of your deeper character
The emerging shape of your integrated soul-and-spirit practice journey
A rationale for integral ritual and ceremony
The powers, or “siddhis” that can emerge from profound sustained integral practice
A vision for understanding the holographic nature of an evolutionary practice of conscious participation in our full-spectrum psychophysical reality
Please join me for this illuminating hour where you can chart your course for becoming the embodied soul of an authentic spiritual evolutionary.
Join Me on 25th at No Charge
To our evolution and our soul life,
Terry
