“Spiritual Awakening without Drugs!”
The Science Of Unitive Love (SOUL) recognizes that love is not merely an emotion or moral ideal, but is a foundational, organizing resonance of reality itself. SOUL proposes that love is our experience of resonance with cosmological values that have been recognized by philosophers from Aristotle to Whitehead: Beauty, Truth, and Goodness. Beauty was present from the very beginning in its “perfect” wholeness and unity – all was necessary and it all fit together perfectly. In order for its manifestation to continue in space-time, energy and matter appeared as the fundamental value of Truth – the reality of “what is.” With the equivalence of energy and matter, their relationships are bounded by balance, equilibrium and harmony as the value of Goodness – the fundamental stabilizing laws of our Universe that enable its existence and emergent potential. Unitive Love is the human resonance with these values and emerges with “Gifts of the Universe” for our human co-creative expression for the fulfillment of our lives. A Framework of Spirituality describes how spiritual experience is psychologically organized in human experience and opens to a universal spiritual core with its soul of Unitive Love.
Figure 1: This illustrates the full FOS, beginning with the CBT elements of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, including the distinction of self-worth and the expression of dignity that expands socially as wisdom, justice, and generosity. The expansion to spiritual experience occurs as the Creative Forces/Creative Openings are experiential signs that the spiritual core is opened, associated with mystical-like experiences. The Creative Forces/Openings are the source of the functional “soul” experience that are the elements of Unitive Love.
The Center for Spiritual Awakening guides participants through a process that opens this spiritual core to profound experience of Unitive Love and the “Gifts of the Universe”:
– Love (as healing and unconditional agape)
– Truth-force (see Gandhi Satyagraha) that is a moral compass, neurophysiological response to violence and harm to self-worth and dignity
– Faith, not as a belief but as an action – taking that courageous leap into the unknown moment with no guarantees of what may happen.
