Which Lecture Should I Begin With?

To get an overview of Pathwork, go to the presentation on Lecture 204 What Is the Path?.

17: Where’s The Joy? — A Pathwork Group Spiritual Exploration

(A worksheet, not a presentation) Isn’t Joy supposed to be the “beef” of life? So where’s the “beef”? We’ll explore this as each of us contemplates his or her own joy, or lack thereof, and see how Pathwork Lecture 17 The Call – Daily Review helps us find the joy.

17: Daily Review

This brief write-up and form presents a key Pathwork Practice of Daily Review as a tool to grow in consciousness and awareness as we go from living our life on auto-pilot, numb to our true feelings, and clueless as to why we are doing what we are doing to living our life from a place of Knowing intuitively the truth of who we are. It includes a quote from Pathwork Lecture # 17 The Call — Daily Review. Make copies of the last page and use this form to track your daily disharmonies in life.

45: Daily Motivation Review

This brief write-up and form presents Daily Motivation Review as a tool to grow in consciousness and awareness as we go from living our life on auto-pilot, numb to our true feelings, and clueless as to why we are doing what we are doing to living our life from a place of Knowing intuitively the truth of who we are. It includes a quote from Pathwork Lecture # 45 The Conflict Between Conscious and Unconscious Desires. Make copies of the last page and use this form to track your daily motivations for action or reaction.

47: The Wall Within

A Pathwork lesson built upon Pathwork Lecture 47 The Wall Within. It can be used by individuals or in groups. It would work best perhaps as a short series so that the material could be taken in deeply. The lesson addresses identifying and overcoming some of the things that block us from fully realizing our destiny and manifesting all that God would call us to in our life on earth. It was used for a Pathwork class on 10/11/13

165¶13-27: Feeling All Feelings — the Doorway to Spiritual Aliveness

This presentation from Pathwork Lecture 165 Evolutionary Phases in the Relationship Between the Realms of Feelings, Reason, and Will (¶13-27) was developed to help me crystalize the criticality of feeling my feelings. I share it with those for whom, like for me, this is a life issue. Note that the following presentation (165¶32-38) is a continuation of material from this Pathwork Lecture.

165¶32-38: Coming to Feel All Feelings by “Becoming Merely and Utterly Human” — Integrating Moira Shaw, The 50-50 Work© Concept

This presentation from Pathwork Lecture 165 Evolutionary Phases in the Relationship Between the Realms of Feelings, Reason, and Will (¶32-38) is a sequel to the preceding presentation from the same lecture (165¶13-27). This presentation integrates Moira Shaw, The 50-50 Work© with Lecture 165. As with the preceding presentation it was made to deepen my own understanding.

177: The Full Pulsation of Life

Presentation used in a year-4 teaching of the Sevenoaks Pathwork Transformation Program (May 23, 2011)

189: Self-Identification Determined Through Stages of Consciousness

Shows how confusion of our identity causes problems that we can recognize in areas of un-fulfillment in our lives. It also shows that we have choices as to how to resolve issues we face by using our mature healthy ego. (9/21/2010)

197: Energy and Consciousness in Distortion: Evil

This lecture shows how our NO to the Life Force derails our life, leading to suffering and un-fulfillment. Crises that are necessary to resolve these YES and NO inner forces in our life are part of our evolutionary development. (9/21/2010)

199: The Meaning of the Ego and Its Transcendence

This lecture shows how, as in the trauma of birth, we move through stages of growth that include feelings of safety, trauma, rebirth, and freedom. Our healthy ego is necessary for this process to move smoothly. (9/21/2010)

201 Demagnetizing Negative Force Fields

Created 7/23/08

203: Practical Ways of Dealing with Conflict

These concepts from Pathwork Lecture 203 are very useful for dealing with conflict, especially going into situations where one anticipates conflict. How could your patterns of pride, self-will, and fear come up? How could you choose to respond differently and thereby arrive at a new creative approach to a problematic and conflictual situation?

204: What Is the Path? — An Introduction to Pathwork

This presentation, created in 2005, was used to introduce the framework of Pathwork to first-year students in the Sevenoaks Pathwork Transformation Program. It includes an entrance exam to see if a person is ready for this level of spiritual and personal work.
