I was sitting here the other day and realized that I have been involved in the Therapeutic Practices of the Prosperos School since 1967. I am struck by the fact that these practices, for me, have become a life commitment to transformative thought and action for myself and for others I am in contact with.
In my study and research of the Prosperos Core Classes, I am fascinated by the blending of the elements that Thane Walker did in the creation of Translation and Releasing the Hidden Splendor Classes. A blended approach between Aristotelian syllogistic reasoning, Western archetypal religious tenets, Jungian developmental psychotherapy and the contemplative approaches of the Eastern, meditative-based traditions.
I find that the students that I encounter today, are not that different than myself when I first came to this School. These Students come seeking to understand and make sense of what they see being out pictured in their three-dimensional world. To reconcile disparaging, and contradictory options and fact with what is the Truth. They come to learn to recognize the Truth and distinguish it, right in the midst of what they have been told is contrary, or by what they are experiencing as contrary, or by what they are doing that is contrary. Our students come to us to find where they are often trapped by fear-based habits, judgmental thoughts, and a cycle I call “Trance state of self-hate or unworthiness.” This has also been known as being “Asleep”.
Being in a community of seekers and amongst this community I have been fortunate enough to have access to trained and dedicated Mentors, to whom I could bring situations, to discover the issues that caused discomfort, shame, guilt or defeating automatic behaviors within my life.
The Mentor would direct me to the effective use of the processes of Translation and RHS for dissolving the suffering generated through identification with limiting beliefs and contracted emotions. Some schools of thought call these practices “forms of healing”. Our School teaches a way to transcend the layers of unhealthy attitudes, of misperceived views within the situations and by refiling the concept with greater objectivity, perception into Truth, and many times creating new behaviors and awareness.
Some of the Mentors are vehicles for greater understanding of the Prosperos Teachings and for skill-building practices that you can begin to integrate immediately into your life, bringing together the wisdom of Ontology with a deeper understanding of your life as the I-Thou Reality Self.
