Have you ever felt you've known someone forever?

Maybe you have

This "wake-up" workshop with Caryn Colgan is based on the four lessons of the spiritual adventure, Ancient Pact, Vol. 1: The Element of Air. Interactive, creative, and fun, this workshop will help you deepen your spiritual awareness & "Remember What You Are".

Expand your awareness beyond your physical senses to free your Spirit Self. Break free of the "automatic pilot" running your life. Use your free will to improve your destiny, and possibly find friends from other lifetimes. Explore ways to renew an ancient promise to be guardians of each other and the planet.

The included journal provides exercises for group and individual exploration. It also has pages for journaling, goals, and much more for continued growth after the workshop.

1. All Is One

All things in the physical universe share ancestry with all other things in the physical universe. If we apply a family model to this notion, all things of the material world are “related.” Functional “relatives” take care of one another.

Operating under that familial concept, we would create a healthier planet and more interpersonal cooperation if humanity viewed ourselves as integrally related to all living things. Humankind would more easily embrace its role as guardian of the planet and all things.

EXERCISES: Explore ways to connect with yourself and feel the interconnectedness with others.

2. Only A Free Mind Knows Reality

Ego is created by pain and fear experienced in this and previous lifetimes. It is a self-protection mechanism that ultimately involves the illusion of separation of self from others and the universe. When a person is free of ego, the Spirit-Self can express Itself in more expansive ways. Some develop “the sight” or intuition which is the ability to see beyond the five senses of the physical body.

EXERCISES: Identify areas where ego inhibits your spiritual vision. Focus on activities to get more of what you want by moving ego-based fears & insecurities aside.


3. Reality Is Greater Than Perception

“Coincidences occur where life and destiny intersect.” Though humans have been taught to perceive events, such as coincidences, in limited, non-spiritual events, the reality is that far more is going on in our daily lives. Just as the human eye is capable of perceiving only a very short bandwidth of the electromagnetic spectrum, the rest of human body is similarly limited.

Also, a person’s spiritual essence never dies. The physical body dies to free the Spirit. Though we cannot perceive the greater truth with our senses, in reality, we are spiritual beings who temporarily operate a body.

Because of these perceptive limitations, we occasionally attach the wrong meaning to events, places, things, people and their words and actions. We perceive something, make an assumption about it, but may miss the reality of it. For example, a person may assume that her friend is angry because she doesn't return her call. In reality the friend may not have received the message. Without all of the information, the person makes an improper assumption.

EXERCISES: Practice expansion to your Spiritual reality. Participate in activities to stay aware that reality is far greater than perception.

4. Karma Rules Until Free Will Changes

Every thought, word, and action has a consequence. The concept of karma is also known as cause and effect. Based on past thoughts, words, and actions, an individual creates his or her karma or destiny. At any moment, an individual can exercise free will to make new choices and alter destiny.

Only through the prudent use of free will can we change ourselves, and the world.

EXERCISES: List areas where your karma could be improved through right action. Identify ways to use your free will to create the life you want.
