Mayan Calendar completes all nine levels of consciousness as the world rejoices!

After 16.4 billion years, we are literally days away from completing the nine levels of consciousness of the Mayan calendar. And what a journey it has been for our beloved planet Earth and the human race.

On October 28, 2011, the ninth and final level of consciousness will have been fulfilled, and the Earth will end its third-dimensional evolutionary progression to begin transforming herself into a fifth-dimensional existence where an entire “new Earth” will be born into being.

This will mark the beginning of the long prophesied Golden Age for the human race where life will become the most magical magnificent and beautiful it has ever, ever been. For some of us, it is about time!
This entire process has been orchestrated under a master grand plan by the Divine, or the higher realms of light, to save the Earth and its people from destroying their home planet and themselves.

The new Earth scenario became the only plausible solution to rescue humanity from eons of war, violence, strife, conflict, fear and most particularly, karma, without directly interfering with its free will nature. This whole transformation has been made possible through a coordinated plan of raising the frequencies of the present Earth by implanting volunteer souls from across the universe within the fabric of humanity.

It became necessary to place these volunteer souls to perform their work from the inside so as not to violate the Earth’s condition of non-interference, a dictate that has not always been honored by outside forces.

Thankfully, this plan has proven to be highly successful and now it has been confirmed that the outlook for humanity and the Earth is extremely bright!

THE SIGNS ARE EVERYWHERE

It is clearly evident now, that our world has begun the transformation from darkness and secrecy to one of light and openness. Bit by bit, piece by piece, the real truth of the human race is being revealed to us each and every day.

Soon this trickle of truth will open into a flood and overcome everything it is path. There will be no stone left unturned when it comes to revealing the truth. Whether it is dealing with government, banking, economics, religion, military, health care, education, technology, extra-terrestrials and the very essence of life itself.

In turn, everything in your life will also be transformed for the better.

Why now? Because, quite frankly, we can handle the truth. As little as ten years ago, many people around the world wouldn’t have been able to comprehend the magnitude of this situation without a whole lot of shock and disbelief. But now, with so much blatant corruption by governments, politicians, religious leaders, bankers and media outlets, many people are finally ready for a higher way of living. And we can thank expanding consciousness for that!

More and more evidence is coming to light that the current so-called economic crisis afflicting our country, and the entire world, appears to be nothing more than a carefully conceived ponzi scheme to divert trillions upon trillions of dollars to international bankers. It was instituted with the ultimate goal of destroying the middle class in order to create a small, wealthy elite ruling class supported by an enslaved, majority working class.

All of these evil plans were part of the so-called New World Order agenda, which was meant to lock down the Earth under a state of total, brutal enslavement.

However, those plans have been foiled. And they have been foiled in the most magnificent way possible!

Instead, America is about to experience a series of deja vu episodes as we will revisit the period of the 1960′s when weekly protests, sit-ins, student demonstrations and other forms of revolt were the norm.

Get ready –– because the revolution is coming to a town or city near you! The sleeping giant has finally awoken.

The good news is that people across the United States and the world are finally waking up to the realization that there has been a vast network of control based upon secrecy around money (international banking) and power (secret societies). Hence, we are seeing protests such as the Occupy Wall Street movement centered in New York City, which has spread to numerous other national and international locations.

However, it is important to realize ultimately this will not be a violent revolution, but one that will unify the world as one under the common ideal of –– love.

In the meantime behind the scenes, nations are uniting against this New World Order agenda in unprecedented numbers. A war of unparalleled significance is waging nearly out of public view and with little media coverage.
Yet, we have been able to see some visible signs of this war literally bubbling up to the surface with what appeared to be a series of unusual earthquakes near Washington, DC and southern Colorado on the fateful day of August 23, 2011. Insiders such as Benjamin Fulford, David Wilcock and others are reporting that these were not natural earthquakes but rather the aftershocks from the destruction of deep underground military bases (DUMB’s) that were situated under our nation’s capital and in the mountains of Colorado.

The bases were destroyed by a collection of white hat/good guys from the military/Pentagon, CIA and other intelligence operatives, along with perhaps assistance from benevolent ET’s. The quake was felt as far north as Toronto, Canada and as far south as the state of South Carolina, yet no significant damage or loss of life was reported.

In an amazing twist of irony, cracks appeared at the top of the Washington Monument, which harkened back to an episode of last season’s NBC show, “The Event” where hostile ET’s blew up the monument as a way to threaten the US government.
“The Event” foreshadowing?

As in any war, its conclusion is still an unknown. We can be absolutely certain, however, that the evil cabal agenda is doomed to lose and victory for the people of Earth is at hand. It is only a matter of time now.

At the very core of this war is the battle for control of the world’s economic system, in particular the Federal Reserve and US dollar, which have been the primary tools of our modern day virtual prison. Once this battle has been won, which could come at any time now, humanity will finally be truly free.

What needs to happen next is for the protesters to turn their attention to the City of London and Vatican City, where the head of the snake can be found. The City of London, (a separate country within London proper and England) is the head of the financial control of the world, while Vatican City is the head of the spiritual control.
Washington DC, on the other hand is the head of the military control and together these three countries within countries, (or city states) are known as the Empire of the City. This network is the method by which humanity has been ruled over for the last 200 years or more. (For more details, read our review of the film “Ring of Power”.)
Three Cities Rule The World
Want more evidence? In the last three years alone, UFO sightings are up 67% which clearly indicates there are a tremendous amount of extra-terrestrials poised to assist us, if they are not already. Couple that fact with yet another breathtaking wave of crop circles found in southern England during the season of 2011, signalling a new Earth is about to be born.

Yes, the signs are everywhere and you barely need to look for them anymore!

THE COLLAPSE OF A FALSE PARADIGM

In many ways, it appears as if the world we have grown accustomed to is falling apart before our very eyes. Each and every day, some new scandal or revelations appear daily in our newspapers, television screens and internet news sites.

Whether it be some politician, government official, banker, religious leader, athlete, Hollywood actor or any other well know public figure, there is a never ending litany of exposure.
All of these scandals are causing many to become despondent and depressed about our world while others react with fear and paranoia. Still more are angered and motivated to get up off their couch and begin to change the status quo.

It is vitally important, however, that we keep a healthy perspective on this entire process.
Essentially, what we are witnessing is the total collapse of a false paradigm. This is a paradigm that was based upon fraud, deceit, lies and obfuscation from its very inception. This false paradigm was meant to benefit a few controllers at the expense of the many.

It was designed to enslave the overwhelming majority of humanity in a totally artificial and corrupt reality. For hundreds of thousands, if not millions of years, this false paradigm has served those in control quite handsomely. As well as, those who dominate over us who are not necessarily all terrestrial humans, but other unseen entities from the fourth dimensional plane.

Therefore, it was absolutely inevitable this false paradigm would eventually collapse. It simply had no sustainability. It had no solid foundation. It was doomed for failure.

What has caused this collapse is expanding consciousness which in turn has propelled many individuals to begin to truly question the proclamations from the powers that be and then ask themselves – is there something better?

As this false paradigm continues to rapidly self-destruct, it will eventually become nothing more than a heap of smoldering ruins. In fact, it is highly likely that our 3-D world may look rather ugly as the false paradigm comes crashing down around us.

However, what will emerge from the rubble will be the most glorious, most amazing and most brilliant world one could possibly envision. In fact, even more glorious than we can even imagine at this point in time.

The very reason this false paradigm has been sustainable for such an interminably long period of time is that it relied on no one figuring out what was really going on. Due to our low level of consciousness, all the dirty little secrets were easily hidden in the haze and fog of darkness.
Everything from the understandings of our true spiritual nature, extra-terrestrial life, the history of the human race, the multi-dimensional aspects of life to more modern false flag operations like 9/11, the Kennedy assassination, the Federal Reserve, Wall Street, Hurricane Katrina, etc. are all of highly suspect origin and intentions.

Basically, this false paradigm had been built upon one very basic negative, human emotion –– fear. Fear has kept us anesthetized and paralyzed us from moving forward in our evolution. Fear has even robbed us our connection to our Divine creator. And we only have ourselves to blame.

Yet another manufactured aspect of this false paradigm is the idea of scarcity. The notion that we don’t have enough, that there is not enough to go around. Resources such as food, energy, oil, money, land and even spiritual sustenance have been tightly controlled to make us believe there is limited amount. When, in point of fact, God’s universe is infinitely abundant and always has been!
In the coming months and weeks, expect to see a lot of weird and bizarre developments to unfold as this false paradigm begins its accelerated breakdown. Many services, institutions and government agencies we have come to rely upon, may simply no longer be there or will be found to be inoperable.

Many large corporations that controlled certain industries such as media, energy, food, medicine, law enforcement and others may go completely bankrupt. Other companies may be completely taken over and drastic reform measures will be instituted to make them more favorable for humanity. Still others may dismantled altogether, never to be seen on planet Earth again!
Expect to see an outpouring of films, documentaries, ancient secrets, sacred knowledge, government insiders and whistle-blowers to emerge from nowhere that will prepare humanity for the long suppressed truth of our world. In fact, it has already begun and will intensify in the coming months.
Our society will be given, or come to realize on its own, that the solutions to many problems are readily at hand and will be initiated at a very rapid rate. The amount of change we will see in the next five years will be unparalleled as we move into ever higher states of consciousness.

Our common manifesto will become, “all for one and one for all” like never before.

The Day After

After October 28, 2011, we will enter the period the Mayans called, “the time of no time.” In other words, we will begin to leave this third-dimensional plane where time is measured and followed to enter into a fifth-dimensional plane where time simply does not even exist. This is the world where we will learn to become timeless!
How exciting is that?

Soon we will begin to see wave after wave after wave of people achieving the state of enlightenment. This process will have a snowball effect on others who will in turn obtain enlightenment, as well.
Eventually, the entire human race will reach the state of enlightenment where we will all live in a perpetual world of magic and miracles.

In tandem, humanity will finally come to the realization that we are all one and that we always have been and always will be one. The separation that we have felt from one another and from God, or the Divine, has been nothing more than another false paradigm meant to divide and conquer us.

As we leave the month of October, humanity will undergo the most rapid evolution/revolution ever, in order to prepare us for the long awaited Golden Age set to kick into high gear during the magical year of 2012.
It is important to recognize that 2012 is only the start of this process and it will not be an instantaneous transformation. Your life my look relatively the same depending on how much you are able to embrace the very idea of this transformation. The more you personally believe in a higher existence for yourself, the more you will experience it.

Now that human consciousness is about to reach a pinnacle point in its collective evolution, we are poised for all the great secrets of life to come pouring forth like rays from the Sun. It is about to get tremendously exciting to live upon planet Earth, without a doubt!

As the light pours forth from this planet, it is illuminating every dark corner of the globe, insuring that no dark secrets will ever be able to exist upon the Earth ever again. That act alone will free humanity forever!

Rest assured, an enormous effort has gone into saving us from ourselves. Our world simply had to change or face utter extinction. And this simply could not be allowed to happen.

Now, instead of a world of chaos, despair and apocalypse, we have the choice of a brand new, higher consciousness world where humanity will live in 1,000 years of peace. Never in the history of the universe has an entire planet been given this kind of an opportunity. We are so blessed.
Ladies and gentlemen, we have arrived at that final hour.

Our prayers have been answered. Our time has come. Our Heaven on Earth has been found.

Let the Golden Age begin! Long live the Golden Age!

Religious Abuse as Emotional Torture

Religious Abuse as Emotional Torture

Maurice Turmel PhD

We begin our story with a poem, one I wrote years ago, in what seems like another lifetime. My Guidance tells me I walked the earth back then and saw for myself the insidious beginnings of this thing called Religion.

People were looking for ways to control the masses. Each day some new purpose would emerge designed to enslave the existing populations and have them do the dirty work of those who saw themselves as Masters.

For the purposes of this story and the Religious Abuse Recovery Program we are launching here, we will focus our attention on the Catholic Church primarily. But this expose can be applied to other religions as well.

Man’s Folly – Religious Abuse

In the Name of the Father / How can it be? / You lied and cheated / Deceived me, I can see

No more holdouts / No more old scores / Time to return me / To my sweet amore

The one true love / That resides within / Is not without worry / But certainly without sin

The abuse of the Father / Is no folly indeed / It happened to many / Disrupted His creed

His words were spoken / In the hearts of the All / Lost and forsaken / Left in the Hall

There to be taken / By those who “knew better” / Thought they’d interpret / That unopened letter

Concealed though it was / To be opened by you / Thought they would grab it / And give it a chew

Chew, this they did / And badly as well / Hell and damnation / Had cast their spell

Long after the heartache / The evil and rhyme / The words of the Lord / Were turned into slime

Now these are retrievable / Through your own heart / Look in there now dear / You’ll find your part

No longer distorted / By those in the know / Cause you open your own mail / To start your own show

Let it be said / That God always knew better / He’d let you find / Your very own letter

He’d let you know / When you had enough / Cause His Heart is Yours / And Yours is so tough

Tougher than lies / Let that be for certain / Look inside your self / Just behind the curtain

The veil they created / With their stories untrue / The nonsense they taught / And said was about you

You know the truth / God set it there / He said: “Take a look dear / Don’t you be scared”

“I placed those words / Inside your heart / I knew you’d find / Your very own part”

“I’m glad you took charge / And set it all straight / No use pretending / I just couldn’t wait”

“Glad you could find / Your way to center / Heaven is right here, dear / Time for you to enter”

“And I love you, I do”

Signed: The Lord within You

Time to Remove that Religious Collar:

I come to you with this news because it is time to remove that religious collar from around your necks. We have suffered at the hands of our religious leaders. We adopted methods of coping that affected us adversely. These would include the great variety of addictions all designed to numb out the toxic effects of Guilt and Shame piled upon us by those who claimed to know better. This is one aspect of the insidious nature of Religious Abuse.

Let’s set the stage so we can all see where this enslavement of souls began. At the beginning of the First Millennium AD, around the time Jesus Christ was born, the Roman Empire was in a stiff decline. Their mastery and control over Europe and various regions in Africa and the Middle East were falling apart because the Roman leaders could no longer maintain the discipline necessary to keep their legions subjects in line.

As the Roman Empire continued its decline, some of its soon to be deposed leaders noticed that a rise in religious fervor was taking root, therefore, an opportunity to harness that need was now available. They realized they could transform this seeking of spiritual succor into a different form of enslavement that only required conditioning of the mind. By co-opting God as their ultimate Higher Power, they could deliver to the populace a series of edicts that could not be challenged, since they came directly from God.

An uneducated populace fell right into the trap and became supporters of this new religious movement. The Roman Empire morphed into the Roman Catholic Church and carried on their usual affairs under the guise of a new business model. Former military leaders exchanged their battle garb for priestly robes and began the transformation. They started to build churches and went to work developing their mind conditioning practices.

They saw for themselves what power religious beliefs could hold when they witnessed the effect Jesus Christ had on the population of the time. After they killed him, they jumped all over this need and began the business of converting the Empire into a large scale Religion.

They developed all kinds of methods for enticing people, methods that made good use of the technological advances of the day. For a naïve population, these acts of trickery were pure magic and served to draw them tighter within the fold. Simple mathematical formulas coupled with advances in hydraulics were converted into the miracles of crying statues, bleeding glass and speaking stones, all orchestrated behind the scenes by masters of illusion who hired themselves out to the Highest Bidders. That’s how Catholicism began, with trickery and deceit, methods that remain in existence to this very day.

This form of trickery and deceit set the stage for what was to become a systematic program of wowing potential converts with manufactured miracles. The biggest coup for the Catholic Church was when they successfully co-opted Jesus Christ’s name and enormous popularity. Once he was out of the way, it was easy, because he was no longer around to challenge them. This simply was the common business practice of stealing an idea, then getting rid of the competition that created it.

But that was not enough. They needed a founder, someone who was loyal to Jesus Christ, and that was his right hand man, Peter. They claimed Peter as the founder of Jesus Christ’s church, even though they had killed him as well, crucified him upside down, if you recall. So today you have St. Peter’s Square in Vatican City and St. Peter’s Basilica within that square all contained within a small piece of real estate that reports to no one but itself, exempt from taxes and exempt from scrutiny, the wealthiest religious organization on the planet.

In the meantime, Roman Empire soldiers became Christian Mercenaries and led the charge against Heathens everywhere. A heathen was simply a person or group that did not endorse Christianity. For this failure to comply they were killed, with Holy Swords and in God’s name. A few centuries back, during the time of the Crusades, a Christian mercenary leader reportedly asked his Pope, Pope Innocent II, how he should differentiate between believers and heathens, so as not to smite the faithful. And the Pope replied: “Kill them all. We’ll let God determine which are His.” There you have another piece of the foundation of the Roman Catholic Church.

Historians may dispute these claims as too simplistic and not factual enough, because I offer no accounting of dates or other specifics. The accuracy of these claims can be determined when you Google any of the key words listed above. For the purposes of your Religious Abuse Recovery, such details are unnecessary. What the church did or didn’t do, and who were the main players at the times of various atrocities will have no effect on what you need to recover from Religious Abuse. All we are showing you here are the corrupt beginnings of a Religion that claimed to have your best interests in mind, while its priests and nuns were busy berating you, sexually abusing you, shaming you and reducing you to puddles of tears, as successfully conditioned you to hate your self. This is spiritual blasphemy of the highest order

The Roman Catholic Church has become a massive and perverse institution whose main weapons include psychological conrols, de-humanizing physical and sexual abuses and constant condemnation of your value as a person, as a true son / daughter of God. This is how they started and where they remain to this day, keeping all of us as children dependent on them, and continuing their program of mental and emotional enslavement through psychological torture and conditioning.

You need to see this for yourself, so you can come out of the trance they have put you in. All of their messages are what we psychologists call “double-binds”. For example: “God loves you, but you’re a Sinner.” “If you do as we say, you will go to Heaven. If you don’t, you will go to Hell.” There was no Hell until they invented it. There was no Purgatory until they invented that.

All of these machinations are fictions, all part of the Big Lie to keep you enslaved. None of it is true. They made it all up. And they continue to promote these ideas to this day because now they can rely on unquestioned history and their 2,000 years in business as validation of their eternal righteousness and authority.

This is where the Roman Catholic Church started. They discovered that Guilt and Shame, coupled with the fear of rejection by God, were stronger weapons than arrows and swords for bringing populations to their knees. It was easy back then to dupe so many people, because there was no education system to speak of, except for the elites who were already behind this fictional creation, and are still there to this day.

Jesus Christ did not launch the Catholic Church and neither did his close friend and disciple, Peter. They were setting the stage for a spiritual revolution however, and that is why they were killed. They were a threat to the ruling authorities of the day. Once these two were out of the way, the elites of the time seized the opportunity to capitalize on the authentic search for truth and wholeness, and used this natural human desire to enslave people in a whole new manner. With the fear of God duly installed, they could do pretty much whatever they wanted.

They successfully utilized the power of belief and the natural urge to meld with one’s God as a tool for conscripting millions into their fold while installing themselves as the only legitimate intermediary between man and God.

That’s where our experiences of religious abuse began. These perverse psychological tactics have been in operation for 2,000 years and they will not be going away quietly. The perversions of Christ’s original message are still going on, as are the abuses inflicted on countless children all over the world. We have only seen the tip of the iceberg where these abuses are concerned. The Catholic Church has successfully silenced many dissenting and complaining voices by simply paying them off under gag order conditions.

In the meantime they continue to manage their business as usual. Who is the next potential Saint in their lineup of fake ascenders? Let’s condemn abortion one more time. Let’s continue to deny poor people in third world countries the use of condoms to keep family sizes manageable. Let’s release another edict against homosexuality while tour own ranks are filled with them. Let’s publicly condemn priest pedophiles while we continue to shift them from parish to parish as complaints are laid.

Lies, hypocrisy and more lies are the true foundations of the Catholic Church. You need to see this to begin your recovery. You need to know that you placed your trust in the lowest of the low, that your parents were duped as were the thousands of generations before them. You need to see how badly and perversely you’ve been lied to so that you can contemplate the idea that you are not so bad after all. When we reject our abuse experiences as determiners of who we are and put these back onto the shoulders of our abusers where they belong, we begin to see that their practices are clear testimony of their perverse nature.

They are the abusers and we are the victims. The abuse that we suffered is about “what happened to us.” It is not about who we are. But it most certainly is about who and what they are. And they are everything they ever accused us of. They are the perverse and the psychologically sick. Their actions, thoughts and behaviors toward innocent children are what need to be condemned. They are the purveyors of abuse.

The Catholic Church’s entire program began with a series of lies and that remains as their foundation to this day. These people are murderers, liars, child abusers, sexual abusers and emotional abusers. They live in a hollowed out world where the only truth that matters is what will help perpetuate their power and control for another day, week or year.

They have piles and piles of money that they keep to themselves while they shame us into giving to the poor and disenfranchised, loathsome conditions that they help perpetuate with their antiquated but controlling messages about sin, sexual activity and birth control. In their world, it’s all about counting the cash, keeping the business humming along and silencing the victims of their various abuses through murder or payoff. Yes, there are bodies buried around residential schools in North America, children that were killed by their priest caretakers. Those who survived these experiences and witnessed the murders, have been bought off by those pesky gag orders, so that the Catholic Church can continue to pretend it is wholesome and clean.

This church, and many like it, is as political as any government and as corrupt as the worst you and I have ever seen. They are befuddled by the fact that they continue to be sued and called to account for their misdeeds. After all, shouldn’t they be above the law? Meanwhile, children abused at their hands, grow into adults who have multiple problems with self-trust, self-worth, self-esteem, self-condemnation and even self-abuse. These are the childhood religious abuse victims who as adults turn to alcohol and drugs to mollify their experiences of abuse at the hands of the Catholic Church. These people are you and I, victims of abuse at the hands of tyrannical nuns and priests who clubbed us into submission by conditioning us to fear God, the same God they claim is always loving and welcoming – another double-bind.

Their Pope is a big fat joke. They have elevated him to Rock Star status and sent him around the world to mingle with the common people. He’s just a father figure who goes around the world making a sign of the cross over the heads of thousands who are starved for parental approval and affection.

The Catholic Church’s leaders have positioned themselves as parent authorities who, while working for God, are allegedly immune to scrutiny or prosecution. They have successfully used the same tactic as rapists and similar abusers when confronted with charges of abuse – blame the victim and re-victimize them all over again.

The Catholic Church Authorities are the real heathens. They are the abusers of God’s just words. They are the liars and psychological enslavers of today. They are as good at running their religion as other enslavers’ of whole populations – Adolph Hitler and the Nazis, Joseph Stalin, Idi Amin and most recently, Saddam Hussein. Comparisons can be made to a number of Western Leaders as well, but we will save that for another day. For now, the Catholic Church’s leaders are well in tune with the petty despots that we’ve seen come and go down through the ages.

Petty despots and religious abusers are all cut from the same cloth. They are elitist. They see themselves as privileged. And they truly believe they have the right to “Lord it” over the rest of us. We, the general population, continue to be their slaves as long as we endorse their program, or, more accurately, fail to stand up for ourselves and put these abuses and condemnations back onto them, where they belong.

This is the end of the road for the Catholic Church and all religions that practice psychological enslavement of their adherents. Those of us who have been abused are now saying:

Enough! I will no longer suffer at your hands! I am done with you forever! And I will heal myself of all your toxic effects.

Let that be the beginning of your Religious Abuse Recovery process. Let that phrase now become your Mantra. Say it to yourself everyday and prepare to heal from the lifetime of abuses you have suffered at their hands. The problem was never you. They problem has always been in the hands of your abusers. They are the ones who are sick and misguided. They are the ones who have perverted and corrupted Christ’s message to us. They are the ones who pretend to be God’s emissaries when they are in fact perverts of the truth.

In the next installment we will lay out a profile of religious abuse victims. You will see yourself there and know you have been accurately described. With that template in hand you will begin your own recovery process using the guidance and methods provided here.

Yes you can recover from Religious Abuse, Religious Sexual Abuse, Religious Mental Abuse and Religious Emotional Abuse using the very same psychological tools they used to condemn you. Properly applied, these tools will lead you out of the spiritual wilderness they cast you into, and help you find your way Home to your True Heart, your True Self, and then make good your Personal Connection with the Living God within. Then you will know the true freedom of being “Connected to Source”, which simply means you will never need another religion again for the rest of your natural life.

How’s that for a promise? You, connected with You, and with the Great Creator! No more middle man. No more lies - just your own permanent connection to the Almighty.

Welcome to The Spiritual Psychologist

Hi,

My name is Maurice Turmel and I have been a spiritually oriented psychologist for the past 20 years. I started my training, as did everyone else in my profession, taking psychology courses and learning the language. Along the way I garnered 3 degrees including a PhD in Counseling Psychology and was a practicing therapist for nearly 25 years.

As a life long seeker I was drawn to psychology in the hopes of finding answers for issues of self-esteem and self-knowledge that had not been answered by my religion or other educational authority sources.

Psychology gave me a chance to look at myself through a totally different lens which I've applied religiously since that very first course. I say religiously for the same reasons such an attitude is applied to other venues. I was totally consumed with learning this system and anything that related to it became grist for the mill. I did grow out of that rigid stance, but that is how it all started.

Psychology helped answer many questions in ways I hadn't anticipated. It helped me see who I was and why I was faltering and feeling so bad about myself. Like a starving man I soaked it all up. And when it came to dishing religion I was onboard with those ideas as well. I knew formal religion had blocked me up significantly during my childhood and adolescent years. I knew that I had a lot of emotional unblocking to do and psychology gave me a method with which to view, understand and approach these problems.

Spirituality came into the picture along the way. During my studies I had come across books and programs that detailed a spiritual growth point of view emanating from the then New Age movement that was taking hold in the early 80's. I started reading those books alongside of my psychological studies and began to develop a picture that has come into full view today.

I am a Spiritual Psychologist. I understand the nature of emotional blocks, defense mechanisms and similar avoidance strategies that prevent people from uncovering their true nature and expressing their gifts. We are not simply a pscyhological being with no connection to the Almighty anymore than we are simply a spiritual being with no connection to our body and mind. We are both!

To understand ourselves and makes sense of our lives, we have to engage ourselves at a psychological level so we can rid ourselves of our blockages and escape mechanisms to access our Divinity and actualize our full potential. We need spiritual practices to access the Divine, but without a psychological relief plan, we will only be skipping over a very important dimension of our beingness.

With psychology and spirituality put together for the purposes of furthering our growth, success can be assured. We will get there, to all those places within an without, that we wish to reach. We will open ourselves up psychologically and clean out those wounds that have kept us blind to our purpose. We will attach ourselves to related spiritual practices that bring light to our life experience and realize that we cannot exclude any part of these two dimensions.

We will not use psychology to dismiss spirituality and all that it can contribute to our lives. We will not use spirituality to skip over important steps emanating from our psychological dimension. We will engage both in a full court press towards our Connecting with our Divinity which, as we shall see, includes the psychological and spiritual components.

Subsumed under both is our emotional life which has taken a beating from both dimensions when either is applied individually without addressing the other. Some spiritual practices want you to leap over your psychology and just replace negative thoughts and feelings with positive ones. Psychology for its part can easily get you bogged down in the minutest of details in terms of behavioral analysis. In its most rigid configuration, the science of psychology can prevent you from seeing the forest for the trees.

Both psychology and spirituality are clearly involved in descrigin who and what we are, while helping us decide what we wish to become. Our emotional life is front and center on this battlefield if we wish to see it as such. Otherwise, accessing and relieving ourselves of emotional blocks and traumas will make both dimensions available to scrutiny while presenting opportunities for growth.

This is what I've learned in 30 years of study and practice. My emotional life is as important as my psychological life and leads me to my spiritual wealth. Why would I want to avoid such a satisfying result by favoring one dimension over another? Why indeed?

In this blog we will be addressing these issues and bringing forth what we have learned over the past 40 years. Yes, 4 decades. I've been a seeker since age 20. I am now 64. These are my experiences, my trials and tribulations. These are also my conclusions based on the experience garnered on this path and my openness to heartfelt intuitive knowledge.

My Higher Self speaks to me through my heart. I access that inner voice every day. I rely on its guidance. It has my best interests at heart. My ego is only interested in self-aggrandizement. My True Self is interested in Love, for myself and the world around me.

The choice is simple. Choose Your Self!
