Pathwork Steps Online Meetings

The term 'Pathwork Steps' was chosen to acknowledge the spiritual truths of 12-Step programs, and the practical reality of spiritual growth as a step by step process that is neither linear nor fixed.

Pathwork tools, techniques, and concepts can help us uncover patterns of behavior that are based upon fears and images, and that prevent us from being fully present with what is true today.

Working with Others

Real-time interaction is helpful when exploring deeper levels of aversion or resistance to spiritual concepts. We speak truth more often than we may realize.

In casual conversation, we can bury such revelations by changing topics or surrounding them with superficial, distracting details. In written communication, we may immediately edit out or soften discrepancies, illogical rationalizations, and exaggeration.

When we speak in any group setting where there is a conscious, positive intention for self-development, we allow others to hear us on multiple levels: mental, emotional, spiritual, and energetic (underlying currents that we may not be fully aware of). Words spoken within a safe, respectful container can echo back to us, so that we hear ourselves more clearly.

By listening to others -- in any situation -- we can practice hearing multiple layers, notice discrepancies or contradictions, and feel into the universal experience of being an imperfect human being. It's not easy to 'just listen'! It takes self-discipline and practice. It can be a form of active meditation.

Four Stages of Spiritual Evolution PL 127

Automatic Reflex
Awareness
Understanding
Knowing

PL 127 suggests that process work usually follows a pattern as we become conscious of the spiritual meaning within daily life. Download full text here.

Stage 1: Automatic Reflex
Automatic Reflex describes living in a lack of awareness. Where we are in alignment with spiritual truth, we may not feel called to become more aware. Where we are out of alignment with spiritual truth, a sense of discomfort, defensiveness, or negativity must result.

Stage 2: Awareness
Awareness is an ongoing, intuitive process of awakening to truth. Gradually or abruptly, we begin to feel a discrepancy between what we believe (or desire) and what we experience.

Stage 3: Understanding
Understanding results from taking action to support our inner calling. Occasionally the process is simple, like finding the 'pea' under the mattresses and removing it. A moment of epiphany may allow us to feel the divine truth of oneness.

Stage 4: Knowing
We are able to accept what 'is'. We work with truth as we know it, accept who we are while continuing to gain awareness and develop understanding. Knowing is a paradox: a relaxed state enabled by an ongoing commitment to awareness (real-life, real-time, working with both internal and external feedback) and ever-deepening understanding.
