Each one of us has a personal hell, a region of fears, inferiority feelings, self-loathing and hidden shame, and of course we are all compensating for it in our own ways. This personal hell is different in everyone, but everyone has one.

Most of us who are on the quest for enlightenment are avoiding this truth, the truth about our own personal hell, about what we feel, about what we fear we are - and are not.  Not only that but we, almost without exception, have come to attribute the noblest of motives to our avoidance. We, as a group consciousness, have convinced ourselves that, by the transcendence of our egos and the avoidance of our shadow material we are saving the world.

However nothing could be further from the truth. In our avoidance of our own personal Hells, in our determination to go around them rather than through them, in our determination to transcend our egos rather than transform them, we are snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. By the avoidance of our shadow material we are dooming not only ourselves but the world.

Most of what we are taught by the wisdom traditions is true, but it is not complete. We are taught that our ego is our enemy, and we must transcend it, and live in the sanctified stratosphere of the Self. However this is an archaic prescription. It is pre-psychological. Psychotherapy has given us numerous tools to transform our egos, thus obviating the necessity to simply transcend them.

The problem with most psychotherapies however is that they are conceived and held in the Newtonian model of reality and the medical model of disease, where, every action has an equal and opposite reaction, when there is an effect there has to be a cause, and materialism and linear, rational thought is the order of the day. The nondual, nonlocal, atemporal, and simultaneous universe of consciousness, and intentional causality is completely unrecognized.

Now, more than ever, we still need therapy - we still need transformation rather than transcendence. However we need the right kind of therapy, a therapy of the new paradigm, a quantum therapy, a therapy of consciousness, an enlightenment therapy.

Happily this therapy is starting to emerge.  Out of the ashes of the old, moribund psychology, Phoenix-like, new, green shoots are arising. Starting with the works of Carl Jung and Abraham Maslow, a virtual carpet of green is spreading, some under the rubric of transpersonal psychology, with its roots in shamanism, mysticism, esotericism and Vedanta -still others under the rubric of Nondual psychology, with its roots in Buddhism and Advaita Vedanta.

Recently a quantum jump has occurred and a completely new kind of therapy has emerged, an amalgam of psychotherapy and healing I call intentional clearing or facilitated letting go. There are a number of these therapies, among them are EFT or emotional freedom technique, the Sedona method, Theta healing, EMDR and of course PsychoNoetics. However, with the partial exception of Theta Healing and the complete exception of PsychoNoetics, all are conceived in the old Newtonian/psychological paradigm. PsychoNoetics alone is totally conceived in the Nondual paradigm of consciousness. It is a therapy but a therapy of enlightenment. That is to say its goal, its criterion of success is not social adjustment, relative sanity, "mental health” , freedom from psychological symptoms or any of the other old paradigm definitions. Instead its criterion for success is unconditional enlightenment, staying present in your real identity as witnessing consciousness, calm clear and peaceful, at all times and in all circumstances. Of course this is a goal more honored in the breach than in the attainment, but nevertheless it is the goal of PsychoNoetics.

Using PsychoNoetics it is now possible to not only gain insight into the shadow material of your ego, but to let it go, to completely disassemble it. It is now possible to release the memories, let go of the attachments, clear the emotions, deconstruct the belief systems, accept instead of deny and connect in love instead of separate in ego. It is now possible to face your shadow material and deconstruct your ego, in this way completely transforming your personal hell into the universal heaven.

Our fundamental identity is absolute consciousness, de-void of any conditioning whatsoever. However your identity as an individual, as well as our human identity as a race, is programmed consciousness. Your consciousness has been programmed by evolution, by collective consciousness, perhaps by your past lives, and last but not least by the sum of your experiences from the moment of conception to the present. Everything that you do, think and feel, in your entire life, is lived in the context of these programs. Yet the great majority of these programs are unconscious or pre-conscious. We think that we are fully conscious and that we are choosing our path through life, however nothing could be further from the truth. The truth is that we are pre-programmed, programmed to eat and breathe, programmed to struggle to survive, programmed to love and hate, programmed to compete and submit, programmed to climb the dominance hierarchy - and most of all programmed to perceive the present and anticipate the future in the context of what we have learned in the past! What is more, when we are in the grip of these programs, we are almost certain, almost doomed, to react instead of act.

What does this mean to you? It means that instead of experiencing things openly and consciously, you experience them inside a box, a preexistent, unconscious box and you react to them mechanically in a preordained manner. On an individual level, this and this alone is the explanation for the great majority of what goes wrong in your life! On the collective level of all humanity, this and this alone is the explanation for the great majority of what is wrong with the world!

If you feel that you are out of control, that your life is not working the way you hoped it would, that you are ruled by vicious habits and petty passions, that you don't understand why people react to you in the ways they do - if you feel that no matter how good your intentions may be, your emotions and actions belie them - this and this alone is the explanation!

The programs that rule us are rigid, harsh and inconsiderate. In a time when human progress was not so fast, what we learned in the past stayed more or less applicable in the present. But at the present time, where we are co-evolving ourselves, our society and our technology at breakneck speed and consuming the natural world in the process, some of these human programs are becoming obsolete more quickly than our computer programs!

Yet until now, until the creation of PsychoNoetics, there has been no comprehensive way to deprogram ourselves so that we can make room for consciousness and openness. PsychoNoetics is a therapeutic transformational modality which has, at its heart, strategies to identify and deprogram those programs which are no longer working to benefit us, both our lives as individuals, and our collective impact on the planet.

We invite you to explore this website at your leisure and think deeply about what you're reading, because PsychoNoetics is powerful medicine. It can and will change your life, but only if you practice it. It can and will change the world, but only if we practice it!

In order to practice it, we must first learn PsychoNoetics. On-going facilitation and online training is available in private and group sessions and free online public seminars will be announced.

Please contact us to learn more. We look forward to hearing from you regarding any questions, comments, suggestions, proposals, ideas, sharings, or internship requests.
