Robert Falconer (Bob) is with us for the third time, and it is such a rich hour.

TAP in with us and learn more about: -How to let go of the raft (the tools, worldviews, and methods that once helped us can later become limitations if we cling to them) -Distinctions between channeling and dialogue with spirit -Jung's active imagination as it relates to IFS -How IFS is a raft! Bob's staircase truly excites me -How confusion, cognitive dissonance, and uncertainty are actually the fastest way to grow -ASK: "How do I develop my relationship with this?" -Stand on the Abyss !! -Any person remains fundamentally mysterious!! -the alternative to the "attempt to kill the psyche " -Neoplatonism, theurgy, and the embodied descent of divine energies -Ecstatic energy -REVISION the history of spirituality in the West -Hunger, yearning, and loneliness are not signs of failure but forces that can carry a person home to the divine. Desire becomes distorted only…
