The ‘ACM Living Awareness’ program that offers a ‘Learning
from the Soul’ focuses on raising individual awareness about subjective levels
of experience that underlie our experience in regard to the immediate world
outside. It assists in creating transparency amongst subjective and objective realities,
and so supports the synchronization between the Self and the world. This
results in self-organization and the expansion
of our
awareness.
Our senses (eyes, ears, and
etcetera) have a range of sensitivity that limits us in perceiving only a
limited spectrum of stimulation from our environment. We see and hear things in
the environment and this stimulation through our retina or eardrums then
reaches the quantum, biochemical and bioenergetics, emotional, psychological
and spiritual levels of experience. What we see and hear is then interpreted
from a known frame of reference which we then respond to physically, rationally
and emotionally.
When we close our eyes and close off the pathway to our
senses by disregarding what we see and hear from the environment we can still
see and hear things coming from inside our mind-body system and we can feel psycho-physical
responses that we may not be able to interpret or have control over. Systematic
consciousness research calls these responses ‘consciousness-related
anomalous physical phenomena’; while in
Psychology the same are called ‘bio-behavioral responses’ that are connected to
‘coping strategies’.
At mentioned subjective levels of
experience, from behind a veil of ignorance lies the sub-conscious wherein the
Self (Jung) is mostly disconnected from the immediate world outside due to the
very coping strategies that try to protect us from experiencing pain. The so-called
‘pain-body’, as it’s also called, is a filter between the reality of the Self and
objective reality of the World. It contains both the traumatic pain and the
patterns of coping strategies that react to the pain through agitation and
dissociation. Hence we think that our pain is caused by the ‘triggerer’ (the
world outside) while in reality our pain is kept hidden by mentioned filtering,
through coping stratagems like fear, aversion and self-rejection; ready to be
triggered by the outside world. The pain-body aggravates through sadness, fear
and dissociation and therewith creates a veil, division or blind spots that we
cannot go beyond without a deeper awareness.
Thus we feel lost and experience
discomfort, agitation and dynamically changing symptoms in the first three
stages of the six stage pathogenesis (development of disease) and static
symptoms and clinical images in the latter three stages. This is how the pain-body disturbs mind and
body as a whole and initiates and feeds the development of disease. As we interact
with the objective world outside the effects of the pain-body, which act from
subjective levels, are externalized in our behavior, communication and actions.
The following are just a few examples of the possible effects of mentioned pain-body.
For instance some people are diagnosed
with different clinical images because through the coping strategies (fear,
etcetera) they've fixated or blocked the pain and patterns of responses for
prolonged periods of time, thus causing the localization/fixation, manifestation
and clinical image stages of the pathogenesis; for the same reason some people
are diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) or other psychiatric
labels because they experience pain, fear or other inexplicable consciousness
related physical phenomena that disrupt their normal behavior and daily living;
some children are diagnosed with ADHD because they cannot ‘master’ the
disruptive actions that come from within; some persons are experienced as being
peaceful, wise or enlightened because they experience peace, wisdom and/or bliss
from within the same subjective realm. The main difference between the former
and the latter states would be a person's inborn inclinations, and that
person’s awareness of the subjective.
It has been our general observation
that by raising the integrated awareness of individuals about what goes on at
mentioned subjective levels of experience a transformational process (catharsis) is elicited that creates new
states of awareness which in turn assist our mind-body system in a continuous
process of self-organization, self-healing and self-creation that feeds the
very process of spiritual growth and healing.
The twelve stages of the
transformational process are: assurance
– gives comfort, diagnosis -
observation of the process on subjective levels, suggestion – direct feedback about the process and evolving
patterns, persuasion – on how to
proceed through the process, guidance – direction on what to do or not in
regard to responses and evolving patterns there from, education - understanding about the meaning of responses and
evolving patterns, modification – the
course of action on subjective levels is changed, hypnosis – the power of illusion is weakened, desensitization – the responses lose their influence, catharsis – transformational cleansing, satisfying – peaceful flow of life force
and growth - expansion of awareness.
This transformational process that
leads to self-organization, catharsis and expansion reverses the pathogenesis, no matter what stage. Its
healing actions actually constitute in restoring the dynamism and dynamic
capacity of the mind-body system.
‘The
ACM Living Awareness’ program
offers theoretical models to interpret what goes on in mentioned subjective
realm; it defines the experience based language of the Self versus the
so-called ‘Inner Response Dialogue’ which defines the pathogenic mechanisms and
patterns that emerge from the pain-body; it offers a process oriented approach
to diagnostic and feedback practice to investigate and reveal the same; and it
offers to integrate contemplative practices to make the raising of awareness
about the subjective essentially continuous.
Through its holistic perspective from
the "subjective" the ACM Living
Awareness program strengthens traditional Science and facilitates learning
from the Soul.
Through its complementary approach
to diagnosis and feedback, learners are assisted in going beyond the limited
range of sensitivity of the physiological sensors to become increasingly aware
of the complete spectrum of stimulation at subjective levels that include the quantum,
biochemical, bioenergetics, emotional, psychological and spiritual levels.
Mentioned feedback offers a
continuous stream of insight into the very nature of subjective experience
including the pain-body and a broad range of anomalous phenomena or bio-behavioral
responses, including anomalous cognition (clairvoyance, telepathy, etcetera).
Through
its deep learning approach the ‘ACM Living Awareness’ program stimulates the
creation of new states of integrated awareness about the integration of the
subjective and objective to (re)synchronize the Self with the immediate world.
This reactivates a person's inborn capacity to continuously seek a dynamic
balance, connectedness, unity, clarity, transparency and inner purpose;
spontaneously, effortlessly and exactly. It assists in changing our perception
of ourselves, the world, problems, experience, life, communication, organizing,
being and spirituality. It offers us a new way of cognizing reality, which
leads to expansion of our awareness.
