After we have tasted the unifying experience of Union with God/Source/Love that we experience at ascension (enlightenment, bliss, etc.) we are cast out of that bliss into a process in which we are “tested like gold that is tested in fire.” The ancients have called this the journey of descent.  Here we come face to face with all the aspects of ourselves that are not wholly rooted in love: our unhealed fears, past traumas, societal conditioning, and ego attachments. In this we are invited to confront our own inner “demons” and transform them into vehicles of Love so that we might fulfill the purpose of the human spiritual journey – the embodiment of Love/God.

In this six-week course, you will:

• Explore the psychology of the journey of descent as it relates to human development.
• Acknowledge and confront the challenges inherent in the journey of descent.
• Learn the language and stages of descent through the Tree of Life as articulated in ancient pre-Christian mystical traditions.
• Come to understand the Tree of Death as a vehicle of liberation from egoic attachments.
• Find support in identifying that which limits your ability to know and be Love.
• Provided with tools for transforming the “demons” experienced in the journey of descent into vehicles of Love.
• Grow in becoming the embodiment of Love.

This course is:

• Inspired by scholarship
• Anchored in original source material
• Grounded in sound mindfulness and creativity practices
• Incorporating tried and tested methods for transformation
• Rooted in the psychology of human development

** For those who have already taken the Beyond Ascension course, Tested in Fire stands on its own while going into much greater depth than was able to be covered in the Beyond Ascension class.
