Spirituality Consciousness & Me

Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.

Carl Jung

It all started with these questions… Who am I? Where am I coming from? Where am I going to? Why am I here? Where do I look for answers? Should I only rely on religious beliefs? Or should I only trust scientific research? What can philosophers tell me about the purpose of life? Can psychology help me find an answer? What can I learn from books about self-help and spiritual development? Is there any overlap?

In my quest for answers to these questions, I delved into books on religion, science, philosophy, psychology, and spiritual growth. As I immersed myself in these diverse subjects, a common thread emerged:

We are interconnected and must expand our consciousness.
Self-awareness is paramount.

Further key insights surfaced:

Nothing happens by chance.
Each of us has a unique purpose and path in life.
Life’s circumstances mirror our soul’s needs.
True growth comes from self-examination and self-discipline.
To enact positive change in the world, we must begin with ourselves.

The texts that resonated with me most profoundly were “Initiation” by Elisabeth Haich, “The Ever-Present Origin” by Jean Gebser, the Bhagavad Gita, works on Theosophy, and the Yoga Sutras by Patanjali. With each book I finished, I found myself guided towards the next, ready to offer the insights I needed at that moment.

Just reading books is not sufficient. The real challenge lies in delving into the depths of knowing oneself. This understanding demands significant effort and time. It entails being attuned to our bodies, acknowledging our emotions, and being mindful of our thoughts. We must hone the skill of truly observing ourselves, making note of our actions, reactions, feelings, and thoughts. Simultaneously, we must be vigilant against deceiving ourselves. Before long, we come to realize that much of our lives are driven by unconscious responses to attraction and aversion, and that external influences often dictate our actions. It is at this point that we can start taking charge of our own responses to the environment, leading us towards purposefulness and heightened consciousness.

I firmly believe that we are amidst a significant shift, calling for new modes of thinking to comprehend the complexities of our current reality. According to Jean Gebser, we are urged to evolve to a higher level of consciousness. I find it crucial to disseminate knowledge about integral consciousness—an ideology that underscores the holistic development of an individual.

My explorations have steered me towards Theosophy, Astrology, and Tarot. Consequently, I am now involved with the Theosophical Society, offering beginner courses in Astrology, conducting consultations, delivering lectures, and writing articles on Theosophy.
