Four On-Line Seminars. Wednesdays, February 1 - 22, 2017.

Initiations by Earth: Relationship to Nature, Roots, Order and Chaos, Unmovable Forces

Initiations by Earth is the second of four classes in this Reflection series in which we examine the four elements of creation – Fire, Earth, Air and Water – as primal creative ingredients within our bodies, our minds and our souls. We are micro-Earths, made up of the same substance as our Mother Earth. We are beings of fire, earth, air and water. These are our elements and just as they shift and move our external world every second of every day, so also do these elements shift our internal world. Ideas travel in our fire. Emotions flow through our water streams. Inspiration filters into our air and oxygen and we connect to our own being through our earth senses. In our first class we explored the element of Fire and the many ways fire symbolically expresses itself in our life. This class is our journey into the Earth level in each of us.

Initiations are encounters with illusions that are detrimental to our life path, to our well-being and to our inner balance. From a mystical perspective, initiation experiences lead us step-by-step to break through barriers in the form of beliefs, attitudes, fears and emotional narratives that support the illusion that we exist in our own world, separate from the whole of humanity and fabric of life. That false belief that we live in our personal world allows us to believe that we are protected rather than connected to everything that happens “out there” when, in fact, we are a part of everything. For the Truth is: What happens to one happens to all. What is in one is in the whole.

Life is only a spiritual path. That realization often inspires the question, “What exactly is a spiritual path?”

There is only one spiritual goal on any spiritual path: Become one with Truth. Become able to see clearly. Then you will act from clarity and speak with integrity in your life. Changes in your life will no longer scare you. Change only scares you because you hide in the illusion that change should not happen or that something bad is hiding in the unknown. All thoughts like that are nothing but fearful illusions.

Initiations are opportunities to break down illusions little-by-little, as we are presented with situations that are created through fear or dark emotions. You know when you’ve succeeded. Every person knows the feeling of breaking free of the burden of a fear.

Earth initiations are connected to our personal and spiritual ecology in the broadest meaning of that phrase. This subtle energetic bond influences the health and balance of your individual ecological system, and that in turn contributes to the balance of the eco-health of the collective eco-system.

I hope you will join me for Initiations by Earth. Each of these four classes will be a wondrous exploration into the many paths of Spiritual Direction that we continue to share together.

Love,

Caroline
