1. The Map of Consciousness

The Map of Consciousness is an ancient map of self-awareness as useful today as it has ever been. Methods for gaining responsibility on the path to wisdom are explored. Intellectual knowledge of the map helps us realize higher stages of consciousness that are filled with peace and joy. This talk examines belief structures (including societal and family beliefs), and the limiting effects and suffering they cause in our lives. From moment to moment, our lives are determined by the beliefs and thoughts we hold. Beliefs can be transformed as you work your way up the ladder of consciousness - the fewer the beliefs, the fewer the blockages and the greater the mental and spiritual growth. This information is especially beneficial for those in the helping and healing professions. The Map of Consciousness explores how to move beyond the terror and fear of suicidal panic and drug and alcohol addiction across a threshold on the path to wisdom.
