T he Inner Search Healing
School - ISHS opens the way for the healing forces of light and love
to individuals who are seeking the truth. ISHS is open to men and
women who are seeking answers to personal questions about healing,
growth and transformation. The course of study is a four year healing
program that creates a safe place where the heart opens to a world of
trust and enlightenment. This healing program is appealing because
unlike mainstream religion it is an experiential spiritual based
process.
Though main line American religions have been losing members, religion
is more popular than ever. "But a shift from "religion" to
"spirituality" has taken hold of the mainstream of faith in America.
Behind this shift is the search for an experiential faith - a
religion of the heart, not of the head. It's a religious expression
that downplays doctrine and dogma and revels in direct experience of the
divine - whether called "Cosmic Consciousness", "The Holy Spirit" or
the "True Self". This new Spirituality is practical and personal, more
about reducing stress than salvation, more therapeutic than
theological. It's about feeling good, more than being good. It's as much about the body
as the Soul". (American Demographics, April 1999.)
Most spiritual and religious teachings are separated into three
general levels of spiritual development. The first and primary level
of spiritual development is ordinary life. This includes the majority of
humans who live within the third dimension and progress very slowly in
their development and pass many lifetimes learning one or two lessons.
The second level of spiritual development is in having only indirect
contact with the spiritual influences affecting the civilized world.
Some progress is being made to evolve beyond the first level of
spiritual development. This usually takes the form of reading
|
sacred books, involvement
with the arts and connection with buildings representing the higher
worlds. The contact with spirit comes from detecting spiritual
knowledge present in certain activities involving dance movements or
works of art from cultures having an intuitive sense of another
reality, a sculpture of an angel or some symbolic power in an ancient
artifact. Yet, the move to an expanded state of consciousness is
limited mainly to the physical earth dimension.
The third level of spiritual development is the connection with the
divine. This is the topmost level of growth and the work requires the
deepest commitment and a consciousness of knowing the self as a divine
being of light. To reach the third level, a spiritual group can be
created and this allows for the training and tuning of consciousness
to awaken an opening to the divine states of being. What can emerge
from the spiritual group is a healing school where individuals can
move into the place of a collective integration with the process of
spiritual evolution. This process leads to healing the soul.
What emerges from the creation of a spiritual group is a healing
school. Inner Search Healing School - ISHS - created a four year
program to teach the process of healing. In the work of Arthur M.
Young, he describes the integrating of science and spirit "The
individual soul has a different task to transcend rather than to
repeat or react to, its previous experiences". Thus as humans we are
given the opportunity to break free from the limitations of the third
dimension of the physical reality. To do this amazing and astonishing
feat we are required to participate in the world and to learn through
direct experience the best ways to reach our evolutionary destination.
According to Mr. Young everything begins with consciousness. Also,
His Theory of Process (TOP) allows for a natural and logical extension
of conventional science to embrace the levels of soul and spirit. |
