Dark Night to New Dawn

I've reposted a number of potentially useful links from my old website onto this page, due to the enquiries I continue to receive from people who are undergoing the process of spiritual awakening and the sometimes related phenomena which have been collectively called 'Spiritual Emergency'.  The information that you can explore from these links cover a wide range of issues, including psychic, mystical, shamanic and kundalini phenomena. If you've experienced (or are now experiencing) a psychic, mystical, shamanic or kundalini awakening then you too may find that the following information is quite useful.  You can also read my own article on this subject here: Spiritual Emergency - Election by Divine Call.

Is Spirit Awakening More People At This Time in Human History for a Reason?

There appears to be a significant process of spiritual awakening occuring at this period in history.  The challenges and opportunities that our world encounters are vast.  Many people believe that, as a result, more souls are incarnating today with significant psychic/spiritual abilities and insights to help mitigate the challenges and educate the public as to why a different way of living is vital to the well-being of our r ace - and our world.

You can read sensible conclusions on the subject of spiritual emergence for free, by following the links below, plus you'll find details of some books which are similarly well-researched that you might want to buy. If you're encoutering challenges with your developing psychic ability you might also find it helpful to see a good counsellor, hypnotherapist or psychotherapist (as well as your doctor) who understands spiritual issues like this. The following organisations may be able to help in this regard:

The Association for Meridian Therapies
The British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy
The Complementary Medical Association
Counselling Ltd
The Counselling Society
The General Hypnotherapy Register
The Hypnotherapy Association
The Hypnotherapy Society
The Spiritual Workers Association
The United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy

'In my personal experience and in the accounts we know of about shamans, they tend to be creative, eccentric, and highly sensitive people who in most cases suffered some form of deep wounding. This allows their personal consciousness to break through to an awareness of other realities in the course of trying to heal themselves. I call this a knowledge of the "crack in the world" which a person, through severe trauma or a near death experience has sustained in themselves and thus can look through both openings, which are one and the same…Their self healing reaches a crisis during the shamanic initiation process of traditional cultures where every personal resource is tested to the extreme through specific ordeals. These ordeals force the shaman-to-be to confront within themselves their greatest fears, weaknesses and personal "demons". It involves a symbolic death and rebirth into another plane of consciousness and non ordinary reality, a strengthening and cleansing of the core personality as the container or conduit of Spirit and heali ng energy, and an awakening to extraordinary powers and vision. As such, traditional shamanism involves knowledge of magic and ritual as part of its process but its real power is gained by breaking through personal ego barriers to an awareness of non ordinary reality and ability to access those energies.'

Quote from: http://www.pathfinding.com/Articles.htm

'Kundalini has been called the most powerful force in the universe.. Once started, it does not stop until it's work is done, though it may go to sleep for periods of time and reawaken under certain circumstances. This is a door that once opened, does not close again.'

Quote from: http://www.kundalini-gateway.org/warn.html

'"Kundalini" is the power of the universe focused through the human, amplified and directed by human intent and will, to bring Heaven and Earth into perfect alignment…'

Quoted from Shaman's Cave
