In this series of classes, we will introduce you to the work and teachings of Vywamus, as they have been given and evolved over the past 30 years. Working with all aspects of our human being-ness (mind, emotion, physical & Spiritual) Vywamus has been assisting us to evolve ourselves through the introduction of new concepts and language, and specific tools for working with yourself and your mirrors.
Although relatively easy to understand, at first, these tools and concepts require continual support and much practice to make them habitual and useful to self. This is because they challenge the prevailing paradigm of Self, which is actually based on a complex structure of denial (illusion) – both consciously and unconsciously - and so there are always conscious and unconscious reactions within Self to the application of these tools and teachings.
These reactions are designed to keep Self in one's prevailing “Comfort Zone” of denial, which is the “self” that you “know” yourself to be. The conscious intention of this work is to assist you in evolving yourself into the next step of your own path of evolutionary development, and in that process to expand your conscious awareness of Self in the NOW. Each class is structured as an evening or for approximately 1.5 – 2 hours
CREATORSHIP: You are the creator of everything you experience, and although one may agree with this premise, it is challenging to put it into practice. In this class we will work with this concept and see how, in each person's experience, you pretend that this is NOT so. We will review the Principles of Manifestation and give you some tools of thought and emotion to support your growing awareness of this idea your mind and your consciousness.
DENIAL: Vywamus' definition of Denial is: “pretending that something is different than it is.” From this simple definition, we will explore how extensive denial (pretending) has become within the human psyche – and indeed throughout the “spiritual plane,” and how we can work with this awareness to change our habitual focus on different forms of denial, as well as our habit of pretending that this is not what we are doing. Be prepared to challenge yourself on what you have believed is “real” and “illusionary,” for very little is actually that way we think it is. You will receive a variety of materials and exercises to support you in working with and growing your awareness in this area.
STORY: We use the word ”story” to indicate what we are usually doing with our mind and thoughts. Thoughts are related to each other through story-lines, and we pretend that not only is this “real” but also that this is the proper state and use of the mind. In this class we will introduce you to the tool of “Story Process,” a specific way of working with your stories to discover what is actually going in inside of Self, which is being disguised by your familiar and comforting stories of self. Stories are actually a layer of denial within the psyche, which are used to hide from one's awareness something else that is going on within Self that you have decided you would rather not be aware of. Is now the time to start changing this?
REFLECTION: What we refer to as the “Reflective Process” is the most important tool for working with Self and coming to a more conscious awareness of what and how you are both supporting yourself, and hiding from yourself. The mirrors of Self are all around us, and we interact with them every day. But how often do we recognize or acknowledge them as mirrors? And when we do, are we assuming that what we are seeing is “real” or is it just the story we have yet to go beneath to discover what Self is really telling Self? Working through the layers of denial in the story in the mirror can be a challenge, but it is not difficult when you are willing to apply yourself using these tools. And the result is usually a pretty amazing “Ah Ha!!!” about yourself.
THE TRANSFORMATIONAL TOOLBOX: In this class we will focus on practicing and applying many of the various tools we have been learning, and more that you may already know about. We will also begin to work with the unconscious belief patterns within the psyche and the specific method which has been given to remove these limiting patterns. And we will explore how to apply what we have been learning in the many different aspects of our lives: work, relationship, health, family, the world around us, and so on.
