Dissociation and the Transcendent Dimension
Tuesday, July 19th, 2011By its very nature, the Transcendent realm cannot be split into separate parts, so dissociation is impossible within the Transcendent dimension.

Moving In And Out Of Our Bodies
Thursday, July 14th, 2011It is generally easier for us to move in and out of our bodies when we are children, adults who survive car accidents or near death experiences will often recall observing the event from outside the body as if they have already died and left the body behind.

Transcendent Dimension
Thursday, April 21st, 2011The severely abused child has been given a terrifying gift in the form of experiences that grant access to the Transcendent dimension.

Transcendent Awareness
Tuesday, April 19th, 2011In our culture, the spiritual gifts that come from surviving severe trauma are often ignored or misinterpreted as symptoms of mental illness. Talents such as numinous or prescient dreaming and direct perception of spirit presences have been described by mental health professionals as psychotic delusions and hallucinations. In tribal cultures all […]
Awareness Of Spiritual Dimensions
Thursday, April 14th, 2011In the wake of disaster we become suddenly aware of the spiritual dimensions that have been present all along.
