Welcome to the Inner Year...

To everything there is a season and a time to every purpose under heaven. Ecclesiastes 3.1.



The Inner Year relates personal soul development to the festivals of the Christian Year and to the cycle of Nature. I work with an esoteric spiritual understanding of the festivals. Esoteric perspectives reveal the deeper universal mysteries of things.

Whether or not you are Christian in your beliefs and your practices, you will find personal and spiritual relevance, insight and possibility in these posts.

The Inner Rembrandt

One of the surprising welcoming notes around my move to the North Carolina Triangle area is the "Rembrandt in America" show at the North Carolina Museum of Art in Raleigh.http://ncartmuseum.org/exhibitions/rembrandt/ opening in the most Rembrandt time of year - the end of October when light and dark embrace each other in nature and in the human soul celebrating the vital contrasts of life.

Rembrandt's art crystalizes in the compelling engagement, the romance, of light and dark in his portraits. He knew that his subject's humanity could only be revealed in the deep shadows of greys, browns, and almost blacks, and that their individuality shone through the luminous pearls and creams and  the mysterious beams of light he found in their countenances.  I can sense who these men and women were in the thresholds of personality found where these lights and darks meet in the brightening dawns and dimming dusks of these visual biographies. Rembrandt's portraits in light and dark powerfully awaken compassion in the viewer, the same compassion that made this artist so extraordinarily great.

As Rembrandt's romance with light and dark in the soul of his subjects matured into a true friendship, he moved beyond being a successful portraitist to being a portraitist of historical, moral and spiritual significance. His most important subject was himself. The more he worked on capturing the contrasts of his own soul, the more he could see what lived in others.

Whether or not you have ever held a paintbrush in your hand, Rembrandt can teach you a great lesson in compassionate self-portraiture - inwardly painting multiple pictures of your soul's biography. You must build a lasting friendship between the dark powerful defining shadows of your humanity with the bright light of your personal divinity.

In my conversations with my clients, I listen to their harsh judgments and anxious fears about their shadows.  They feel threatened by a sense of inner evil and the experience of being either the victim or the perpetrator. They hope I will say words that will rescue and redeem them.

Instead I teach them the compassion of the Inner Rembrandt and the transcendent healing, liberation and empowerment of the self-portrait. Like Rembrandt, you must have a mirror and a canvas, the brush and the palette of colors. Look into the mirror and paint what you see on the canvas.  When you finish one self-portrait, begin the next.
 
The Imagine Self programs are the studio of the Inner Rembrandt.
 
Painting Your Self-Portrait
 
The Inner Autumn Being Human Courses: Confronting Your Challengers and Engaging Your Companions teach the key elements for encountering the soul contrasts of dark and light. To paint your self-portrait you must find the darkest and the lightest points of your image.
 
The first course teaches the about the mysteries of the dark, the gestures of evil and the art of transformations.  You even learn how without the contrast of the shadows, light becomes formless and meaningless, and find the challenger that hides in that blinding of light.

(The second guides you into more conscious and active engagement with the spiritual beings that support your inner development.  I will share more about this program over the next few weeks. )
Confronting Your Challengers

In this rich course, you learn the significance of confronting or facing courageously the counter-forces and inclinations toward evil that live within your own soul.  This confrontation requires that you make friends with your shadows. We cannot dismiss or ignore evil. We cannot make light of the dark until we know it well.  We must  confront and confront and confront as spiritual practice and as a path of moral development.

Imagine the personal freedom that comes with understanding the opponents to that freedom.

Imagine the strength of your personal choices that comes with the ability to resist the forces that want to undermine or dominate those choices by twisting your truth, distorting your beauty, and crippling your will.

Imagine the confidence and the feeling of personal integrity that comes with having a strengthened moral immune system - a system that protects who you are from attack, sabotage, and invasion.

None of these imaginations can develop without taking the time to understand the relationships between the human soul, your human soul, and evil.

Devote one hour a week over the next four weeks (Thursday evening, Sunday afternoon or the download anytime) to confronting the forces that stand between you and your path of development.   Go here to learn more about the course and register for Confronting Your Challengers http://www.store.lynnjericho.com/CONFRONTING-YOUR-CHALLENGERS-IY-CC11.htm

Inner Changes at the Inner Equinox

How does your path of self-development change with the Equinox?

The Solstices and the Equinoxes are turning points for the work of self-knowledge. The Inner Year is a cosmic organizing and nurturing principle for your inner life just as Nature's Year organizes and nurtures life on Earth.

If you think of your Higher Self as your Inner Sun organizing the process and nurturing the progress of your inner development, you will want to follow its seasonal directions in your attention to finding yourself, knowing yourself, becoming yourself.

For your inner development, spiritual and moral, Autumn is the time of the cosmic inner year when your Inner Sun directs your focus to your relationship with what lives in the darkness of earthly existence.

In the shadows of your self-awareness, you find the challengers that distort your development. These challengers grow their strength in darkness. This is why, counter to the diminishing light of Autumn in Nature, your Inner Sun glows with more light following the Equinox, illuminating the darkness and your hidden challengers, allowing you to call their names, contain and limit their power, and develop your inner courage.

Your Inner Sun sits at the horizon of your consciousness. Only your inner work can move it above the horizon so it can enlighten and empower your sense of self and form the right relationship to spirit and matter.

As you contemplate on your Inner Equinox, take heart, and look into the shadows and encounter the challengers. You might want to post your thoughts to share with others by leaving a comment.

Encounters - Confronting Your Challengers

CONFRONTING YOUR CHALLENGERS
 Recognize and overcome the challenges to your spiritual and moral development.

This is the time of the Inner Year when we seek the wisdom to recognize and overcome the counter forces who seek to challenge us and undermine the truth, beauty and goodness of our human spirit.

There are a thousand hacking at the branches of evil to one who is striking at the root.
Henry David Thoreau.

In this course we will seek the root understanding of evil.


The maturity of the soul is not its ability to avoid evil, but its ability to confront evil.

Archangel Michael's slaying of the dark beast of evil is recognized and attended to each year on September 29th. Michael carries the sword that points to, penetrates, and slays evil.

Encountering the Challengers
intends to awaken in our souls the powerful force of Michael, the inner ability to recognize and overcome personal encounters with evil.

As the dark of night overtakes the light of day, it is time to look at the darker questons and realities of consciousness and self-development.  We need to look at our personal encounters with evil.  The dark topic of evil needs to come out of the swamps and shadows of our souls and into the light!  
What are your questions about evil?

How do we live with our own sins of commission and omission? How do we heal and resolve our experiences of victimhood? What is the karma of evil? What does it mean to “forgive us our debts and we forgive our debtors.”  How are we protected from the temptations of evil? How do we atone for our sins? Just what is atonement?

Esoterically, what are the beings of evil? How do they engage us? What do they want from us? Can we redeem them?

In our difficult times of greed, war, global warming, terror and trauma, we need to find meaningful and practical definitions, perspectives and practices that develop courage, integrity, forthrightness and understanding. Without a conscious and articulate sense of evil, the demons and dragons hold sway, while we hide in anxiety, depression, doubt and confusion.

Encountering the Challengers
offers you the following content:

Session One:
Definitions of evil, harm, violence.
How evil appears in thoughts, feelings, actions.
How we do evil to ourselves.

Session Two:
Inner immunity to evil
The victim/perpetrator relationship
The role of evil in personal biography

Session Three:
The three forms of evil in our souls.
The four basic relationships to evil.
The four inner declarations that redeem evil.

Session Four:
Evil and the four bodies of the Human Being.
The mysteries of justice
The karma of consequence
The lessons of reconcilliation

Out of the Shadow Into the Light - Ten Years Later

 
OUT OF THE SHADOW
INTO THE LIGHT
ONLY YOU CAN DO IT!
 
Thoughts on  9/11 - Ten Years Later
On July 3, 2001 I moved into a brownstone in Jersey City. There was a deck off the living room where I could see the World Trade Towers across the Hudson River (about a mile away). Exactly ten weeks later, I stood on that deck and watched the towers fall and an hour later was down at the river standing in shock, wonder, and amazement at the looming emptiness filling with the smoke that would remain for weeks and weeks.  The world had changed. I had changed.

I had been working on a manuscript about the Twelve Senses. I put it aside and wrote an essay on trauma. I walked down to the waterfront often, especially at night when the lights at Ground Zero lit up the sky and illumined great changing shadows in the smoke.

The mood of Ground Zero lit up the souls of most with a deep caring for community and a sense of possibility. But it also cast dark shadows of fear, anger, powerlessness on the same souls.

A month later at a women writers conference in midtown, a woman introduced herself to me and asked to know about my experience of Ground Zero. We had been in a random gathering of woman at the lunch break who had been sharing their thoughts on the event that filled everyone's thoughts and feelings.  Inspired by years of working with Rudolf Steiner's descriptions of the evolution of consciousness, my perspectives were not reactionary, alarmist, nor retaliatory. I was certain there was the potential for a new world view, a new moral and creative responsibility, a new relationship to a shared future if only each individual became a world citizen, if each human soul reflected on the questions living in the light of 9/11, not the shadows.

This woman, Bethene LeMahieu, initiated a year long conversation that became a six-hour audiobook we called Ground Zero and the Human Soul: The Search for the New Ordinary Life. Well-reviewed, it spent a few months on the shelves of Barnes and Noble and Borders amongst all the other 9/11 literature and we were interviewed on a number of radio shows, but very few individuals ever heard the thoughts, the challenges, and the creative perspectives distilled from our hundreds of hours of conversations.

As we all know the "leaders of nations" had another perspective -- war, homeland security, destruction -- they prolonged the terror of 9/11 promising a return to the life of 9/10.  The conversations between Bethene and me imagine a different life for 9/12 and a dawning of a different consciousness in the individual.

Will you search for the new soul life that will shape the new ordinary life?

Below you can listen to and download the six conversations. Each is about one hour long.

Listen to them. Share them. Write comments. 


And please, have conversations about the future that is shaped by you and all the other world citizens, not governments, not corporations, not ideologies.

If you would like to purchase the transcripts, please contact me by email.

Life is a High Wire...Are you Out of Balance?

Life is a High Wire...Are you Out of Balance?

Are you confused? Are you having difficulty making a choice? Does your life look like you want it to? Is there too much or too little of something or everything?

Are you floating away with your fantasies or collapsing under the weight of your daily drudgery?

Do you lean towards things, people, activities or pull back? Are your relationships too intense or too distant?  Do you work too hard or not enough or love too hard or not enough? There are lots and lots of out-of-balance questions.  You probably ask your self these questions all the time or just declare and bemoan your lack of balance.

Your life is out of balance!

Don’t go negative around this statement.
  1.  Almost everyone is out of balance in some way.  
  2. What were you ever taught about balance?  
  3. It is very advanced work to learn what feels balanced to you (it is not about what looks balanced to everyone, its about what feels balanced to YOU.) 
  4. Balance is a true mystery and life is a high wire.

What needs to be added, subtracted, multiplied and divided to get you to that equal sign?

I want you to worry about balance so that you pay attention to it, question it, discover it, define it, maintain it, challenge it. Get an education in balance.  Grasp and wrestle with the essential elements of creative balance. Balance is not tame, easy, or compliant. It takes focus, core confidence and practice, practice, practice.  And lots of tipping over, spinning around and course correcting. Just ask Phillipe Petit.




THE HIGH WIRE

To walk or dance on the High Wire of Life, you need to be knowledgeable about the wire, choose your balancing pole, know your body, be confident, feel your strong feet and align your head with your heart. You can discover your inner balance needs by taking the Inner Year Balance program beginning next weekend. I urge you to watch, at least a hundred times, the brilliant documentary on Philllipe Petit, MAN ON A WIRE.  Here is the wikipedia link to this master of the mysteries of balance on so many levels. 


HOW OUT OF BALANCE ARE YOU?

Are your balance points where you want them to be to be content and creative?

Balance of tension and relaxation?
Balance of activity and rest?
Balance of attention and diversion?
Balance of self and other?
Balance of work and play?
Balance of spirit and matter?
Balance of moving toward  and moving away?


The balance I am exploring in these questions is the balance of proportion. Is your life in the right proportion for you? Right proportion provides you with a core sense of self and an ability to stand strongly in the world without falling into confusion, doubt, anxiety or exhaustion.

Only you can determine and maintain your balance. 

Once you find balance, you find yourself. Life nourishes, restores, creates, takes off, makes meaning, feels good when you have your sense of balance. Best of all, you laugh a lot more at yourself, the world and the gods.


At the same time, I want you to consider the mysteries of being off balance.  Being consciously off balance will not create dizziness or other disturbing feelings because you know how to restore balance. Its an art and requires knowledge, skill and practice. It is a science that requires research, experimentation and proof. And it is the sense of the divine majesty of your selfhood which requires imagination, inspiration and intuition.

To move we go off balance consciously, moving our weight from one foot to the other.
We leave the security and stability of balance when we take risk and do, think or feel differently. Having the wisdom of choosing to be off center, also brings more laughter.

I feel it is so important to understand the concept and perception of balance. With attention, balance becomes a personal art form providing the firm standpoint  for inner truth, beauty and goodness. For you, the true sense of self,  that allows you to stand strongly in the world.




TAKE THE INNER YEAR COURSE ON BALANCE



The SATURDAY sessions begin next weekend, AUGUST 21.   The THURSDAY evening sessions begin the following week, AUGUST 25.  The course is recorded and you can download any session you need to miss.  Learn more here.

This course will not balance your life.  It will give you a way to work with the mysteries of balance.  It is a schooling of the meaning, purpose and possibilities of creative personal balance.  It will empower you to create balance in your inner life and outer life - not a magic wand, but a clearing of the way. And enjoy the blessing and fun found in the confidence of standing at the edge of startling cliffs and feeling off balance before you start to fly.

You will arrive at the Autumn Equinox with a new sense of creative equanimity - an inner Equinox.

The Summer Flow of Self

On a hot summer day, the thought of diving into a secret shaded cooling pool of water feels so freeing as the still summer heat fights the flow of life and discourages inner and outer activity and vitality.

Sometimes I feel like my inner life is hot, sticky, breathless and unmoving.  I need thoughts that cool me down and bath my soul with flowing waters. Sometimes meditating on a word that is beautiful and inspiring offers a flow of inspiration to my lazy, hazy summer soul.

Today I meditated on “fluency.” I love saying this onomatopoetic word.  Flu - en - cy has such flow to its sounds. Flu sounds like a graceful stream that never ends. En seems to create a soft containment for the stream.  Cy creates an image of a waiting sea.

Rooted in the Latin word for flow, fluency in the Imagine Self context becomes the quality of self-fluency.  Certainly the graceful stream of self-imagination never ends. The core of being human offers soft guidance to the flowing awareness of self. We each need to hold the image of the welcoming destination of becoming I.

I invite you to cool your summer soul with a creative swim toward the sea of self-fluency.




Self-fluency

The dictionary offers  several sensitive meanings for fluency that can guide you to the sense of self that you long for:

  • a skill at speaking a language with ease and familiarity and nuance.
  • to speak articulately and accurately
  • to move with grace
  • the degree of flow

Let’s look at each of these meanings in relationship to personal meaning.

  • a skill at speaking a language with ease and familiarity and nuance

Imagine having at the tip of your tongue the language of your own being that speaks the truth of who you are in the moment.  Imagine knowing yourself so well that the slightest fluctuation or undulation of self immediately finds  imaginative expression.


There is an exercise I love bringing when I work with groups.  I ask everyone to come up with seven words.  Three nouns, three verbs, and one preposition.  I encourage them to choose creatively such as
banana, song, star
laugh, twist, knit
within.
I write these words down on a flip chart as everyone takes their turn.  Then I explain that the nouns represent how they think, the verbs how they act, and the preposition how they relate.
It is amazing how accurately the self-chosen vocabulary of self reveals the individual.  give this exercise a try either alone or with someone who knows you well. 


  • to speak articulately and accurately

Imagine being clear, well-formed and on the mark about each of the myriad aspects of yourself. If you could speak fluently about yourself, people could “get” you! You could “get” you. You would be received and understood because every expression would be the truth and without error.

More and more often, I find myself questioning myself.  Is this truly what I meant? what I feel? what I want?  Or am I being lazy in my self-expression by relying on old identities, expectations or habits. Are my perceptions, thoughts and feelings about myself complete, beautiful and transparent?


How articulate are you in expressing yourself?  How accurate are the expressions?

  • to move with grace

Imagine moving gracefully through your inner world? If you are not graceful inwardly, you will never be graceful outwardly. Just think of how water flows. It is always graceful, even when as fierce as class 5 whitewater.

Water responds to its environment as it moves over, under, through, around. How graceful are you as you move through your life and your imagination?

  • the degree of flow

Just how fluent are you about yourself? What is the degree of self-knowledge you possess as you move through life? The more you know about  being human, the more you can become fluent in being I.

What is your fluency in the qualities of successfully being human? Are you fluent in the language of selfhood? Are you flowing gracefully to a purer image of your true self?


Fluency and Balance

The summer of the soul is about standing strongly (fluently) in the world and in yourself.  Balance is the source of this powerful fluency.

How articulate and accurate are you in the meaning of balance in your sense of self?
If you became more familiar in the nuanced language of balance (and imbalance) could you move with more grace through your life? Could you increase the degree of flow in the center of your being?

How could your fluency of balance change your life?
  • Spiritually? 
  • Emotionally? 
  • Economically? 
Would you like to have more balance in
  • Your relationships? 
  • Your energy? 
  • Your creativity? 
  • Your choices?


I am offering the Inner Summer Becoming I program on Balance later this month. Here is the description and all the fluent information you need to participate in this rich and enriching program. http://theinneryear.blogspot.com/2011/08/inner-balance-webinar.html

The Inner Balance Webinar


The Soul's Focus for Inner Summer

INNER BALANCE
Standing Strongly 
in Yourself & in the World




“ Lynn Jericho's seminars are so very worthwhile. They are engaging, revealing, insightful, and deeply satisfying. Lynn brings great wisdom, humor and kindness as well as a gift for being present with the group and to the needs of individuals.
Working with Lynn has brought clarity of thinking, awareness of feeling and certainty in action to my life. I am grateful to Lynn for offering these seminars and look forward to her future offerings. ” Lisa Boisvert MacKensie. Editor  of The Wonder of Childhood


Inner Balance

In the course of the Inner Year, late August and early September is the time of year when we feel the pull back into our inner realities.  Late Spring and Summer drew us out to our consciousness of our relationships to others and the world. Now as we feel the increase of darkness in nature, our souls need to renew our attention to the inner experience of equilibrium, feeling centered, clear-headed, upright, integrated, and free to evolve to a greater gesture of confident self-expression.

In the four 90 minute sessions we will work with the following questions:

What is inner balance? Did you ever ask yourself this question? Is now the time?
What is dynamic balance and how do you live well through creative chaos?
What are the three questions that allow you to compose your life?

How do you experience vertigo? Do you feel that you or the world are spinning out of control?  Do you feel light-headed, unable to focus, like you are losing consciousness? Do you feel like you are swaying back and forth, side to side, wondering how to establish new footing and a solid standpoint?

Which of the seven types of soul/spiritual vertigo do you struggle with?  Just identifying the type(s) will give you a new ground of self-awareness on which to balance your thoughts, feeling, time, energy.  How would life feel if you found a new core equilibrium?

What are the four aspects of aerodynamics and hydrodynamics that applied to your inner life will allow your sense of self and your self-expression to soar into the sun and sail through rough seas?  (This is truly spiritually and practically of enormous value.)

With each session other questions will be asked leading to new possibilities for all participants. 

Summer is the time of year when your soul is most open to the mysteries of balance and standing strongly.

The Intensive will bring new understanding to the imbalances of your life, why they have caused you so much struggle and why you can now move beyond them with courageous creativity.  Like all the Inner Year programs, the Balance Intensive will make sense of your inner experiences and guide you into a truly creative and grounded imagination of your future.

If you are a student of the work of Rudolf Steiner, you will find truly personal applications for his wisdom.

Please share this with your friends and colleagues.


Benefits

You will ...

  • develop compassionate control of your inner and outer life
  • name and transform the threats and obstacles to your sense of inner harmony
  • feel a core strength and uprightness
  • learn how to make responsible and creative choices that make sense for you
  • feel more spiritually awake


Is this for YOU???



  • You are on a quest for self-knowledge. 


  • You are in crisis. Life is overwhelming your sense of self. This may be a sudden disruption from a change in relationship, job, or health. Or it can be a chronic sense of feeling you don’t know who you are.

  • You are at a threshold of your life. It is thresholds that demand balance from you so that you don’t fall backward or forward but stand strongly as you step into your future. Here are some of the major thresholds of living.

  • You are at a seven year threshold.  Every seven years we evolve into a new phase of development. 28, 35, 42, 49, 56, 63, 70, 77.  These thresholds can be rocky as we feel the demands of a new maturity.

  • You are 37 or  56 and experiencing the the emotional development of a natal moon node. This can be a powerful shift in how you veiw your self and your relationships.

  • You are 42 or 63.  These are the extraordinary thresholds of 21 year cycles.  Your “I am,” your core Being, incarnates into a new gesture in the world and within your soul.

  • You are in crisis. Life is overwhelming your sense of self. This may be a sudden disruption from a change in relationship, job, or health. Or it can be a chronic sense of feeling you don’t know who you are.






Am I addicted to your classes?   That's one story....
I do know that your presence, through your classes, emails, and telephone consults keeps alive in me the striving toward an ideal, a soul consciousness, that easily becomes dimmed by the demands, conflicts and even the celebrations, of "life on the surface".  You keep re-minding us of a whole other plane of being and meaning.   For that, and for you, I am grateful,    Marilyn Dixon

Process

We meet as a group via the internet or phone for 90 minutes each week for 4 weeks.

There is a slide presentation on your desktop and you hear Lynn and each other on the computer via Skype or on your phone. Directions for connecting are sent in an email - it is simple. These sessions are recorded and can be downloaded for relistening.

We have personal conversations with partners from the course…
Everyone is assigned a partner from the group for  a 30-60+ minute conversation on the weekly topics. These are remarkable and deeply sacred conversations.  When each partner is working with the same set of archetypal questions, rich dialogue emerges to nurture and clarify the biographical insights of each.  This is awesome, thrilling and by far the most transformative aspect of the program.

We each create personal binders/notebook ...

Participants are encouraged to create their own binder to fill with the handouts and the selfwork for each session. The handouts include descriptions of the key elements found in our biographies and sets of questions for each topic.  Your binder contains all your biography work and your personal biographical reflections - in this case, the story of your first seven years. The binder gives you a place to continue your reflections beyond the time frame of the program.

There is a personal conversation with Lynn...
During the course, you will schedule a 20 minute private conversation with Lynn on any personal question you have.  These are powerful conversations. Lynn brings her intuitive listening and her creative and compassionate wisdom to the conversation.
