It's About Consciousness, Brain, and Body
Inner work is the critical thinking component of our consciousness journey. Inner work is being rigorously engaged to observe the self during our real-time inner dialogue and social interactions. Inner work also functions as the reality check related to experiential encounters during consciousness meditations and other interactive occurrences. Inner work demands a level of cognitive engagement that surpasses widespread self-help practices such as thought energy, self-reflection, mindfulness, or any of those other less effective spiritual-based solutions.
The growing fascination with inner work and expanded consciousness is evident in modern discourse, engaging a diverse audience that includes both individuals on spiritual quests and scholars investigating the vast capabilities of human potential.
“Community, in the absolute context, implies that the human being is simultaneously the part and the whole.” Rob Taylor, The Irreducible Primary
The Ambiguity of Spirituality
Inner work discipline and consciousness expansion are not aligned with spiritual precepts. The terms “spirituality” and “mindfulness” emerge as kaleidoscopic concepts that avoid singular definition, nestled in the interplay between religion, personal development, and an underwhelming comprehension of consciousness expansion. The ambiguity instigates reflection and debate considering the deliberate practices of inner work and consciousness expansion. When individuals embark on their spiritual journey, the notion of spirituality will become an obstacle or a gateway, depending on the context and intention behind its use. If spirituality is approached as a set of beliefs, practices, or conceptual frameworks, the practice becomes an obstacle. The concepts designed to foster development will fail, resulting in rigid thought and perception patterns. When practiced as a conduit to direct experience and expanded consciousness, spirituality offers a valuable framework for inner work development.
Consciousness expansion expresses as the natural progression stemming from the due diligence associated with inner work. The expanded consciousness will reveal unexplored dimensions of energetic interplay that shapes the human condition and its relationship with nature.
