Becoming Enlightened
We each have Enlightenment experiences from time to time and in a way we are all enlightened, its just that as soon as we have that experience of awesome non-identified awareness, it is so crystal clear, so liberated and so whole, that the mind wishes to own it and forms an identity around it separating us from that experience. If you like an imposter of the real thing - a "shadow" - has formed within the personality and while it continues to exist, we are not enlightened. So how do we deal with the shadow? How do we dissolve into full Enlightenment?...

“Dissolving into Enlightenment” helps us to see where the final blockages are (the attachments) that still cause us to identify in some way with the illusion. It helps us step into the experience of universal non-identified awareness - the “Seer” of all things - and to stay that way. The course brings us right to brink of our own shocking self realisation stepping into the void of non identification.

"Dissolving into Enlightenment" is a one-on-one course of non specific duration. It is tailored precisely to the individuals needs and completely in harmony with the natural flow of our unfolding.

What is Enlightenment?
Enlightenment is where we step through the illusionary fabric of self identification to non identified awareness. We have dissolved into the absolute Seer of all things. Finally there is no need seek or search for ourselves because the realisation dawns that there is no one to find!

”When you can no longer define who you are,
that’s who you are!”

We have finally realised the divine paradox - that we are nothing and therefore everything. If we were to be something, that would make us less than the all of it, and therefore whatever experience we are having, it is not what we truly are, which is everything. Does that make sense? If it does, you will have had tastes of Enlightenment.

So how is it that in Enlightenment, we still experience things?
In being none identified awareness, we are the Seer of all things and have the experience of being 'as-one' with everything. Yet out of this arises our own unique sense of beingness and purpose - the soul. The soul is our personal expression of the Seer.

In Enlightenment the experiences of "in here" and "out there" unfold blissfully into one. Yet there is still the apparent duality of separation - our experience of the soul. When you can hold this apparent duality IN EVERY MOMENT, in other words not to be identified at all with external experience whilst in the experience, then you are fully enlightened.

Exposing the “shadow of the Seer”
Participants on this course will already have made the transition from identification with the personality to living life as the “Seer” expressed through the soul. In other words, they will have transitioned the third gateway of consciousness expansion and be “Transfigured”.

However at Transfiguration, our being is still not fully comfortable with the experience of non-identified awareness and either resists it in some way because of fear, or loves the experience and tries to own it. If you like a ‘fragment’ of the soul is still identified with the ego in some way. This fragment we call the “shadow” and arises in a number of different ways...

• the 'false prophet': owning the selfless actions through the soul requiring a "pay back" thus rendering them less effective.
• the 'controller': not trusting in the natural actions the universe, thereby needing to control them.
• the 'doubting Thomas': doubting the experience of 'absoluteness' that it has arrived at.
• the 'restrainer': retraining a spontaneous impulse of passionate action thereby dulling its taste.
• the 'questioner': continually questioning the authentic impulses through the soul.
• the 'distorter': distorting an authentic action causing confusion and loss of inner peace.
• the 'absolutist': needing to always express truth, whatever the cost.

It might be said the shadow mimics the spontaneous actions of the Seer thereby distorting the natural flow of energy rendering it less effective.

The shadow can be extremely difficult to 'see' - in our current state of evolution, as soon as attachment to identity arises, we tend to automatically dissolve it. In other words, as soon as we turn to look at the shadow it disappears! It reappears again when we least expect it, slipping surreptitiously into the background of our psyche until we spot it once more.

It could be during the interaction with friends or family, when we are 'off guard' and least expect it - the shadow pops in and our actions become slightly distorted. At this level of evolution, it can have a profoundly distorting effect on our environment because we are channelling huge energies into what we are doing. We have the potential to influence many and therefore it is in our best interests to be as clear as possible - to be enlightened.

The shadow normally arises due to some karmic attachment - perhaps we had an extremely unpleasant event occur in a past life the memory of which has been stored in our causal body. So now as the soul shines through the causal body, here is where the shadow is cast.

The shadow keeps reappearing until we see it. When we can do this, we have the chance to follow authentic action in the moment to confront and dissolve the shadow. Sometimes it can take quite extreme events to achieve this - that's why it is sometimes termed the "Crucifixion". Sometimes it will take a series of similar events over a protracted period of time. Once complete however, we slip into a seemingly quite ordinary state of non identified perception - Enlightenment - which itself happens without further drama.

Finally ALL our actions become selfless and authentic.

The work
"Dissolving into Enlightenment" is no ordinary course! It recognises that we are each unique and therefore have a unique journey. Hence we tailor each engagement specifically to your needs in a one-on-one basis.

We believe that our best "teacher" is the living environment we currently find ourselves in which may involve friends, family and possibly even work colleagues - it is our usual interactions where the shadow raises its head.

We invite you to spend time with us at our centre in Glastonbury contemplating what goes on in your day to day interactions. These visits could consist of a half day, couple of days or even a few weeks if necessary. The work is then backed-up and supported by telephone and email.

If you feel the pull to travel to overseas spiritual locations to do specific work, we can help and advise the best way forward.

Working intuitively and completely in harmony with the divine flow, we allow spontaneous meditative ceremony to reveal what issues need to be worked on, processed and integrated. Over time, the shadow is dissolved and the intermittent experiences of Enlightenment "join up".

Facilitators
The work will be conducted with Chris and Trinity Bourne.

Chris works intuitively as a clear mirror reflecting back both your distortions and divine gifts of beingness. With a powerful ability to read the synchronistic patterning behind all events, Chris helps reveal the objective messages and guidance the universe is genuinely offering. In so doing, Chris will help you see the distorting influence of your shadow and instead centre in your true path. In this way the shadow can be dissolved.

Trinity will support the engagement in many ways as required. She has deep visionary insight and connection through the higher dimensions. This helps make sense of interactions where your higher self might be saying one thing but your lower self another. Working with profound energetic sensitivity, Trinity will help bring to the surface and release energetic tightness unveiling greater vibrational harmony, integrity and congruency throughout your being.
