The key to making deep, systemic change in your mental and emotional conditioning is to enter into your non-verbal mind and make changes to it directly. Not doing so is what keeps you going around and around in circles – having insights into your deeper nature but never fully embodying those insights. Guided mediations hold the key to making those transformations in the unconscious mind permanent.
Using guided mediations, however, is not the only way to make deep systemic changes in your unconscious conditioning. There are 5 ways this kind of transformation occurs:
1) Having direct, intense, experiences in your life: Experiences such as chronic or life-threatening illness or a near-fatal accident that shocks you into a deep understanding of yourself.
2) A direct intervention from Grace: You get tapped by The Blissful Intelligence of the Universe and are transformed. It happens…
3) Plant medicines: Plants such as peyote that are used by the Native Americans for spiritual awakening and healing.
4) Elongated periods of solitude and meditation: These periods silence your mind and organically allow you to enter into deep symbolic places within yourself.
5) Initiation rituals: Rituals that have been used for thousands of years in the inner circles of mystery schools, priesthoods and monasteries to instill a direct experience of the divine in the recipient.
It is this last tool that Mastering Intuition come to emulate. In fact, the meditations could be called Guided Initiation Journeys.
A guided initiation journey is not a simple guided relaxation exercise or guided meditation, it is a powerful and symbolic journey that acts as an initiation ritual for your unconscious mind. An initiation is like the igniting of a fire or the turning on of a switch – the planting of a seed which then grows into embodied transformation.
In the ancient world, spiritual practitioners knew that people only experience real transformation through images and physical experiences. That is why they had elaborate rituals and elaborate initiation processes. Additionally, the performers in these initiation rituals had the knowledge of sacred geometry, the movement of energy, archetype, and direct mystical revelation. The practitioners who performed the initiations would symbolically and energetically embody archetypal forces that the initiate encounters. Just like the ancient mystery schools did and just as modern ones continue to do, Mastering Intuition allows you to transform your emotional, mental and spiritual processes in a strategic and focused way.
Mastering Intuition is for people who want transformation and awakening but don’t want to go live in a cave or join a monastery. They are for people who want to take a deep dive into their symbolic, non-verbal mind without taking hallucinogenics, and they are for people who understand (and on some level long for) the importance of structure, ritual, and ceremony but have no idea where to find them in this modern day of watered down religion.
Without planting the seeds of transformation through image, feeling and imagination in your unconscious mind, your intellect will have no counterpart when it comes to creating new habits, instinct, and indeed, a new self. You will continue to be frustrated time and again by the gap between knowing the right thing to do and that annoying habitual instinct that always takes you in the wrong direction.
The unconscious mind doesn’t understand words. It needs experiences in order to change. Experiences such as initiation rituals or guided initiation journeys that you can do in the comfort of your own home. These symbolic journeys, just like the ancient initiation rituals, speak directly to the unconscious mind, bridging the gap between the intellectual and the experiential. And you absolutely must bridge the gap between those two parts of your mind if you are going to create real transformation in your life.
