Rituals for a Peaceful Transition
by
Book Cover & Preview Text
Patterns of thinking, perceptions, attitudes, relationships and responsibilities held in consciousness are the tools with which you solve crises. If these tools are inadequate, you can learn to acquire new ones, and these come about through expansions of consciousness. You resolve crises through decisive, dynamic and energetic processes that affect a network of systems. Crisis resolution requires a clear mind and emotions, a calm individual system within a larger system, even planetary. The planetary system is a part of the systemic (solar) whole which is a part of a universal (cosmic) whole. The realization that you are a small part in this incomprehensible universe may create a sense of insignificance, fear and hopelessness. However, you contribute to the whole; you are important to the whole. The recognition that your Soul is an available instrument in crisis resolution releases negative emotional states within your individual living systems. This realization helps break down the barriers created by highly emotional reactions and conflicting thought processes. This process can be aided safely by a program of rituals using your Soul. Rituals are processes that, when studied and meditated upon, form new frontiers in your thinking that lead to expansions of consciousness. These expansions lead you toward new and fulfilling hunting grounds in the realm of crisis resolution.
