Infos

In Touch With Your Inner Voice is a self-guided course offering a spiritual, self-guided path of individuation allowing for personal development, understood as a lifelong process. The course is structured into three levels, each of which is presented and conveyed with six textbooks (lessons) and other practice materials. It addresses all those who are interested in their spiritual individuation, which is a very personal matter. With the exercises, each participant gradually discovers 'their' very individual soul or symbolic language-just as they once learned their mother tongue. They learn to name and express symbols they've experienced inside themselves and relate them to their world, in the world. This, in turn, opens up a whole new spectrum of exploration and learning, each wholly unique and different depending on the participant's experience and background. Level 1: Lessons 1 - 6 This level is about learning the basics of the Trilogos Method and how to use the method to train our capacity for perception, imagination, expression and self-reflection. For example, a person may learn to recognize, name and express their intuition through their perception. In this way, they will get in touch with their inner voice and discover connections with their outer world. Another participant may encounter their wounded inner child during an exercise, and begin to wonder: How do people even arrive at their beliefs, dispositions, convictions, behavioral patterns and traumas in the first place? Yet another person may experience their creative potential and seek to optimize it in a meaningful and gratifying way, in alignment with their very personal dispositions. In this way, the Trilogos Method contributes to a viable future for all, where members of society make decisions together on the basis of trust and empathy, and take responsibility for those decisions.

Textauszug

A Small Introductory Experiment

Take a moment. Close your eyes and imagine a rose …

Faculty of imagination

Did you manage to do so? Were you able to imagine a rose? If so, then you have discovered the first important tool for this self-guided course: your power of imagination.

Faculty of perception

Were you able to form an internal picture of a rose and to perceive this internally? Then you became aware of the rose. With this you have also discovered an important second tool: your faculty of perception. Your perception of the rose is a ‘passive’ process which surprised you and encouraged you to become ‘active’ and to form an internal image of the unexpected rose. A rose emerged from your imagination without you having to define it.

Faculty of expression

Recall your internal perception of the rose and now make a detailed description or drawing of your rose: its colour, shape, size, the density of the blossoms, thorns, leaves, etc. This is the third important tool for this course: your expressive ability. You can give outward expression to what you perceived internally, to your thoughts and feelings, ideas or symbols of the internal world of sensations. In describing the rose in your way, you transfer something internal, in this case your personal rose, from your inner world, from the world of imagination and perception, into your external world.

Cast you mind back again: did you sense the petals of your rose or even its thorns? Were you able to hear the sound made by a gardener makes when cutting roses? Or did an idea simply occur to you or did a specific rose simply appear before your mind’s eye? Were you able to form an internal image of the shape and colour of a rose or to smell its fragrance?

The mediumistic senses: the internal ability to perceive

Just as you can perceive with your five external senses – that is, sight, hearing, feeling, smell and taste – so, too, you can perceive internally: you have just done so with your rose. Through this little experiment, you may have already become aware of your world of sensations, your inner world. You perceive this world through your inner senses: internal sight, hearing, feeling, smell, including taste, and awareness. Together they constitute your sensory link to the spiritual world.

Interpreting truth

If several people conduct the ‘rose experiment’ and each of them describes his or her rose, then you will notice something: none of the roses is exactly like any other; each of them is individual. Why is this? Your rose is an expression of your distinctive individual thoughts and feelings; it is an expression of your inner world or your spiritual and intellectual power, your psyche.

There are as many inter-pretations of the truth and reality as there are human beings

For this reason, the rose that you perceived and described is yours alone and no one else’s. Therefore, it is important for you whether the rose you perceived was open or closed, red or white, a strong-smelling or a more delicately scented rose or even a completely different kind of rose. What would it say to you if, for example, the rose you experienced was half open? Perhaps it means that in your case something has already begun and has not yet been brought to fruition, and thus awaits completion?

Perception is individual

Your rose reflects your own individual inner world and your reality, your completely personal state of consciousness, and you describe and interpret these accordingly. Only you know – intuit and feel – what your rose means for you in concrete terms. The truth concerning the meaning of your rose for you rests entirely with you. You experience what is intuitively coherent for you. Others may make suggestions, but do not let yourself be deceived or deterred … There are at least as many interpretations of the truth – and hence as many realities – as there are human beings.

The world of our imagination is full of wisdom. If we learn to immerse ourselves in it, we can recover many treasures and learn a number of things about ourselves. Here it is important that we proceed in a disciplined way in order to avoid loosing ourselves in a dream world. In each exercise there is an indicator which shows whether we are on the right track: it is our sense of well-being. Especially when we do the exercises alone, we must undertake always to remain within the limits of our sense of well-being. This applies to both physical relaxation and to the imaginary journeys conducted.

In the phase of deep relaxation preceding the exercises, we let go of tensions. These tensions may have built up during the day – for example, as a result of stress – though they may also be the result of a false movement or of any other causes. However, some tensions are deep-seated. Perhaps we have been “taking cover” for years or we may have adopted a defensive stance or are instinctively protecting an area of our body on which physical or mental pain has been inflicted. In body therapy we speak of “body armour”, which refers primarily to the ways in which a deep pain can lead to persistent muscular tension.

If we now perform conscious relaxation exercises, over the course of time we may stir the affected areas of our bodies. Traumas we thought we had forgotten may be recollected because they have been stored in our bodies. In many cases it is sufficient to imagine these parts of our body bathed in golden light and in this way to allow the tensions dissolve gently. In this way, we heal the past and let go of it.

But if, in addition, you should experience strong feelings of discomfort and the memory of the past causes you too much pain, then it is time to take responsibility for yourself and to seek professional help, for example, from the Trilogos team, from a doctor or from a therapist whom you trust.

It is important that, in all of our exercises, we remain within the boundaries of our sense of well-being.

Let us return to our rose – a simple exercise from which we can learn a lot more as we progress.

Discipline is also required in the rose exercise. We set out on a journey on which – as in the following exercises – we are our own tour guide. Hence, here, too, we are responsible for ourselves. And, to reiterate, the journey should feel comfortable for us. Moreover, at any moment we can change the course of the journey or break it off altogether if we do not feel well.

There is a very simple way to do this: we take a deep breath and focus our attention on our feet and how they touch the ground. Perhaps we move our toes a little. And while we feel the ground under our feet, we take three deep breaths and return to our real world. We become more and more aware of our body, open our eyes and find ourselves back in the present.

Let us pursue the rose exercise a little further.

As before, we close our eyes and imagine a rose before our mind’s eye. We inspect it more closely, its stem, the leaves … does it have thorns? And what about the bloom? Is it already open? What colour are its petals? Do they give off a delicate fragrance?

While we examine the rose, we notice a rose bush a short distance in front of us. And it is not just a single bush … it is part of a whole hedge of roses in bloom. A lovely fragrance is wafting through the air and slowly we move towards the hedge. Perhaps we hear the buzzing of bumblebees or wasps swarming around the flowers a short distance away. Maybe we would like to know what is behind the hedge. Is there a path leading through it? But we see the thorns and decide to enjoy what we see before us: countless blossoms, some open, some still budding.

We take a deep breath and then another, so deep that it seems to flow through our whole body. And we feel our feet, move our toes a little … and again breathe deeply. Slowly we detach ourselves from the world of the imagination and return to the room in which we were safe and secure all the time. We bring a sense of well-being back with us into everyday life … as if the scent of the roses were still with us.

Evaluation

What did your rose look like? Do you remember?

And what about the rose bush? Were the blossoms open? Or did your rose bush have buds? Had the blossoms already wilted or even fallen off?

What feelings do you associate with what you saw? Which thoughts?

Did you find it easy to see the hedge of roses? Was it a thick hedge? Was it high or so low that you were able to see over at?

Did your hedge have thorns? What feelings do you associate with it?

Did you find it easy not to take the path through the hedge? Or was your curiosity stronger? Would you have shied away from hurting yourself on the thorns? Did you even continue along the path through the hedge instead of following the exercise?

Did you manage to take deep breaths, feel your feet and turn back? How did you feel when you opened your eyes?

The rose exercise has taught us how to use two tools:

1. We conducted our journey: we did not go near the bees where we were in danger of been stung, nor did we follow the path through the thorns.

2. We took responsibility for returning to our reality: however tempting it might have been to linger in the rose garden, we literally felt the ground beneath our feet and, with the help of conscious breathing, we returned to our bodies and to our physical surroundings.

Both of these are important...
