Spiritual Life
We all know intuitively that there is more to life than whatever limited reality we now experience. We long to awaken to the depths of who we are and what life could be. Whatever temporary yearnings may preoccupy us - for less pain and more joy, for a fulfilling relationship or for meaningful work - there is something that calls to us from deep within. We want to know the truth about life and we want to feel love in our hearts.

The Pathwork describes in practical detail the steps we need to take to unify the parts of ourselves, some of which we have denied, and to renew our connection with the inner spark of the Higher Self. The special contribution of the Pathwork is an emphasis on the importance of seeing and transforming our negative qualities, the shadow side or Lower Self. The Pathwork offers a simple, clear methodology for this transformation. Only through the courageous confrontation of our own distortions can we find freedom and truth; the release of lower self energies creates a larger capacity for love, courage, and wisdom.

An in-depth exploration of the Pathwork journey toward the spiritual home within each of us is found in Susan Thesenga's "Undefended Self," available on this site or in bookstores.

"As I try to pray my own thanks to God, I feel a lump in my throat, and a tight band of grief around my heart. By all outward indicators, I am doing fine, but my spirit is weak and my gratitude is not forthcoming. I feel needy for God's grace, I feel spiritually depleted… I hear a voice inside my head pressing for recognition, saying, 'It is no longer enough to remember me as your Lord and Master. That is old, familiar. What you are called to do now is to be me.'"
