COURSE OVERVIEW

We are living through the end of an era and have entered a watershed period that involves a cascade of crises affecting the entire planet. The growing tension of opposite energies and polarized attitudes makes the world a more divided place and places each of us under greater pressure.

It becomes ever more important to know that the word crisis means “a turning point in an illness,” an existential moment in which a change for the better or for the worse will happen. Although we can feel small, fearful and fragile in the face of worldwide crises, humans are the “makeweights in the scales of time.” Each individual soul can help tip the balance of life towards healing, both a restoration of nature and a renewal of culture.

Whereas simple knowledge can add to the sense of polarization, genuine wisdom can bring revelations of hidden unities that underlie both nature and culture. Wisdom is both as old as the ages and as fresh as the current moment. And each person has inner medicine and natural wisdom waiting to be found and be brought to the work of healing ourselves and serving the world.

PART 1 - SEEKING A UNITY OF OPPOSITES

An old idea suggests that genuine maturity depends upon our ability to withstand and understand the tension of the opposites. The word individual means “un-divided,” not divided on the inside and thus able to remain true to ourselves when under great pressure from the outside world. Although we can feel crucified by opposing sides and torn between conflicting ideas, transformation is the secret aim of the tension inside life itself.

For just when everything seems to fall apart, what seeks to become more conscious is the eternal youth in the soul that sustains the dream of life and the wise old sage in the heart of each person that serves as inner teacher and guide. Inner wisdom involves a creative unity in which the eternal youth and wise elder within us help us hold together the past and the future and find meaningful ways forward.

PART 2 - HEALING INNER SPLITS

Ancient stories depict the human soul making an essential agreement before being born. The original agreement includes the soul’s inner dream and the core imagination woven into our hearts. Waking up in life means awakening further to the core pattern set within the soul.

The original agreement is our indelible link to the realm of spirit and the divine. It is our innate connection to the unseen source of great memory, inspiration and spontaneity. It is also the source of our capacity to truly transform and help change the world. In times of crisis the point is not simply to survive, but to awaken the creative imagination of the soul and become agents of the ongoing creation of the world.

PART 3 - SOUL’S ORIGINAL AGREEMENT

Ancient stories depict the human soul making an essential agreement before being born. The original agreement includes the soul’s inner dream and the core imagination woven into our hearts. Waking up in life means awakening further to the core pattern set within the soul.

Any originality we display derives from the soul’s original agreement and we are most connected, mind, body and soul, when we live close to the innate pattern set within us. The original agreement is our indelible link to the realm of spirit and the divine and the source of our capacity to truly transform and help change the world. In times of crisis the point is not simply to survive, but to awaken the creative imagination of the soul and become agents of the ongoing creation of the world.
