Do you dare to develop deeper levels of consciousness?

Joseph Campbell talks of an endless cycle we are all going through. It is a state in which the hero in our soul is on a constant quest. We are presented with a chalange in which we face and then are transformed. I often wonder of the heroes that have changed the world. The christ, the buddha, the prophets. It seems to me before entering the state of enlightennment they challange the inherint fear within our soul and they remain still. Then they bring back the wisdom to humanity.

Lately the ways of the east have been sweeping through the west. There practice often focuses on the development of consciousness. Or an awakenning. They have made a science of it. Some forms of western christianty have for centuries scared people from this. Frightenning us from our very selves. Telling us we are unworthy. It is about control as our ego craves it.

As a christian I reached a certain point and found not my faith wavering but my soul hungry. I now see the ways and paths opening as true christianty on the move.

What is it you fear?
