The Soul Process
An Introduction to the Soul Process
There is a larger process unfolding within the human being within the heart the psyche and the deeper layers of awareness. This process is not separate from the larger patterns of the cosmos. It mirrors them expresses them and participates in them here and now in the most literal sense of the word.
This work is not intended for casual consumption self improvement culture or spiritual entertainment. It is not an attempt to commercialize spirituality nor to package awakening into something easy reassuring or consumable. What is named here has been spoken of since time immemorial across cultures traditions and lineages. What is new is not the process itself but the historical moment we are in and the growing need to contextualize this process in contemporary language without reducing its depth power or mystery.
We live in a time where experiences once largely held by shamans mystics contemplatives healers and initiates are increasingly emerging in the lives of everyday people. This is due to many converging factors including expanded psychological and phenomenological inquiry the resurgence and study of psychedelics unprecedented access to information and a growing sensitivity to subtle inner experience. What was once peripheral is now becoming unavoidable.
The task before us is not to trivialize these experiences nor to inflate them but to create a coherent human context for their unfolding. At its core this is a process of self realization and spiritual awakening in a modern sense one that must be grounded integrated and embodied rather than idealized or dissociated.
My aim here is to offer resources that help orient this process in the most accessible way possible while remaining fully honest about its fundamentally mysterious nature. The emergence of deeper consciousness carries real potential not only for personal healing and wholeness but for addressing the ecological political and communal challenges we face. Again and again when these openings are met with care and integration they tend to foster greater compassion coherence and an increasingly relational eco centric way of being.
I approach this work from a psychological phenomenological and integrative standpoint informed by years of study practice and lived experience. The Name Soul Process is coined by my mentor and teacher Tom Yeomans PhD to refer to this unfolding self organizing movement of consciousness…
This page is dedicated to that process.
