The quantitative observations have been analyzed for their contribution to the model with R and using last generation multivariate data analysis leveraging on SmartPLS to determine the relationships between the factors exposed in the model. If the initial model does not perfectly fit with the gathered observations, the remodeling of the items after an exploratory factory analysis helped to design an emerging model useful for the purpose of the study. The analysis of the observations structured according to the new model leads to interesting conclusions such as the spiritual representation are necessary to ensure that spiritual experiences have a significant impact on the behaviors. The initial and positive outcome opens the door to further development of the research such as the elaboration of an updated questionnaire, the definition of an interpretation framework and the continuation of research on the subject.

He suggests that this interconnectedness enables us to go beyond healing personal psychological pain, to help heal individual and collective suffering. Bache’s account concentrates on what might be called the world of “spirit” rather than matter. The current paper is an endeavour to extend his work into the world of matter through theoretical exploration and physical engagement with body and land. To this end, I present a heuristic enquiry into two psycho-geographic journeys made at sites of collective suffering in rural Scotland. While working in altered states of consciousness and engaging in somatic practice, I felt residues of what seemed to be this suffering, coming to consciousness through my body. The work of understanding and honouring this involved performance, ritual and artwork. My suggestion is that such embodied practice allows both a profound acknowledgement of historical events and a therapeutic release of pain. Working in this way may also show us how deeply our bodies and minds are woven into the rest of nature. Once we experience this, places can come alive to us in a different way. Matter is no longer a dead substance for humans to use at will. It is a mystery that we are all part of, and one that invites our deepest respect and care.

{"title":"Sounding as a Tool for Spiritual Awakening","authors":"Russel Oliver Stone","doi":"10.32031/itibte_itj_13-sro3","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.32031/itibte_itj_13-sro3","url":null,"abstract":"This article introduces Sounding, a therapeutic, vocal technique that sings sounds (not words) and is largely improvisational. Sounding induces profound shifts of consciousness that lead to deep insights into emotionally-driven behaviour. This serves to help clients rebalance internal mental structures leading to calmness and stability. This article shows the importance of Sounding as a therapeutic technique that has a deep impact on both body and mind. Great care is needed in both one-on-one and group work to assess each client’s emotional and psychological status before going too deep. Having developed Sounding and its use with Yoga Nidra over a period of 15 years, I have grown into an understanding of the power of this work. With an individual, I would not introduce this until I have plenty of context and can understand and feel the client’s sensitivity and vulnerability so I can adjust the wording of the Yoga Nidra and the duration of Sounding to accommodate those sensitivities and vulnerabilities. In one-off group work, especially with people I have not met before, I keep this very light and relaxed so as not to go too deep with both the technique and subsequent therapeutic dialogue. This work is not for people who have fragile/unstable ego states. It needs a certain level of emotional and psychological resilience, which is why, if I am setting up an ongoing group, I will assess clients through an initial questionnaire and then a one-on-one interview. I describe how this technique was developed over the past 15 years since I first started using it during my MA research at CCPE in London in 2004. Various crucial aspects of yoga techniques and philosophy will be outlined that underpin my use of Sounding and how it works in conjunction with Western Transpersonal philosophy. Current scientific research into trauma and anxiety are also explored, and the way Sounding is of benefit in these areas is illustrated. I also look at common features Sounding has with meditation, the use of Ayahuasca, a traditional spiritual medicine, and Near Death Experiences (NDEs).

By leading from one question to another he brings the listeners to the conclusion that consciousness is the foundation of the world, or better said the cosmos is an intelligence that creates itself and everything in it. As a result, us human beings and all other things that exist in the universe are a representation of that cosmic intelligence.

The core of the conversation with Jim Garrison concerns the identification of the nature of what philosopher Ortega Y Gasset has defined “the mission of our time”, and how to take part in it fully. In the conversation several angles of this mission are explored: the gap between inner powers and outer powers (R. Assagioli; A. Korzybski) and the importance of filling this ontological gap as well as the challenge that the nature of this mission presents to the young generations (creating the institutions of the future) the necessary qualities to do one’s part (integrity, responsibility, authenticity, commitment), the worldviews to overcome in order to build a new human civilization (capitalism, patriarchy, conventional religions), the call to education for a new form of humanity and the decisive role of hyper-complexity and the importance of taking the resolution of being our future and to discover the personal myth which is guiding our lives.

The author suggests that we need a new story based on abundance, harmony and soul. This particular chapter looks deeply into the nature of soul. It asks what it is and where it is to be found and why it is that we have distorted its meaning and desacralized our planet.

For the purpose of reasoning, the author considers the process of “semiosis” as the realization (and representation) of experience in a cultural framework, which provides culturally significant meaning. The cultural framework can be contrasted with the elusive myth, which is able to change. The metahistorical study pays attention to cognitive distortions that may arise in this regard – in particular, perception of “indigenous / native” and “alien”. Settlement of contact with the acquired denotation of the culturally significant past allows to live through past traumatic experience in the present. Living through history provides an access to trauma grounded in the culturally significant past. Hence, a channel for the “detraumatization history” can be maintained.
