Aims
When we come together, either in person or through our invisible but tangible heart connections, a community of the future forms. Immersion in the groups gradually brings about the awakening of the body, a new consciousness, and a devoted, reverent presence to Earth. The new consciousness is a Time consciousness, heart-temporality, time in which everything is alive and active and in motion. The old consciousness is one that has focused on space, and thus is characterized as static, fixed, dependent on surety, unable to sense flow, unable to feel what is coming to us, living in fear, caught by the past.

Background
There is a background to this new way of living. Seeds of it are in C.G. Jung, and even more, the work of Henry Corbin from whom we are indebted for a sense of the symbolic and access to the creative imagination. James Hillman furthered the depth dimension by showing the reality of the imaginal realms of the soul. Phenomenology provides the method of trusting, staying with, and understanding interior experience. Rudolf Steiner takes phenomenology to the regions of spiritual experience and being. Sri Aurobindo and The Mother heal the false division between spirit and matter and stop spiritual escapism, that desire to find permanence and ecstasy by abandoning the unfolding spirituality of Earth. We recognize our indebtedness to these visionaries in the forming of the new and original work of Spiritual Psychology and Earthosophy.
