The Journey
“By showing situations symbolically in dreams, the unconscious communicates with consciousness and discloses its own comments on the conditions of our life.”
God’s Forgotten Language -- John A. Sanford
There is a universal urge to awaken and become. It's challenging to follow a transformational path, or calling. It takes a certain tolerance for the dark and unknown, exposure to what may be unacceptable in oneself, and ultimately, the nature of God. Transformation happens through the organic nature of the process, developing awareness, and practicing mindfulness and presence.
Transformational journeys lead to harmony in body, mind, & soul. We learn that we are guided and shaped in some way, and that we are more than we know.
