ABOUT SELFQUESTING
The Human Problem
The human condition is
that of a self-aware being, confined to a body. In this each of us
is confronted by and identified with limitation. At birth we find
ourselves in a world where we are vulnerable and depend on others to
provide us with our needs for survival, comfort, love, and containment.
These vital needs are satisfied to varying degrees. But even under the
best of parenting situations, for a being whose true origin is as a seed
of the Great Self-Aware All-One, being in body is inherently difficult and
full of concerns, unknowns, and fears – not the least of which is that we
might be further diminished and our spirit (self-awareness) annihilated.
And so we can see that to be
separated from our natural identification and oneness with godhood (God) –
vulnerable, diminished, and yet still self-aware – is a great injury. This
state of identifying simultaneously with the
polarity
of being both child-like and god-like is inherently difficult. But the
injury does not end there. For in being further touched by life
we come to deeper experience life’s drama and trauma, and the depth of
our limitation and vulnerability that so very much runs against our true,
self-aware, god-like nature.
It is in this separation from
our true nature and in this absence of our true Self that we learn to
further split off and hide our awareness of life’s difficulties. This
fragmenting of our awareness, our conscious being or “Self,” has a
positive purpose in that it at least lessens our awareness of fear and
pain. Yet burying our fear (and ourselves with it) has drawbacks, as the
reduced wholeness of Self results in diminished well being, expressing
itself in the body, mind, energy, and life that ones consciousness or
“spirit” directs. And so, we spiral
down in our choices as we manifest and grow in the body.
A Fundamental Law of
Attraction, which Jung’s term ‘synchronicity’ partly describes, states
that we each draw to us (manifest) that which matches our state of inner
being (“as within so without, as above so below”). So, if our consciousness,
spirit, or “Self” is fragmented and holding fear-based parts of our
self-awareness in a structure of difficulty and “dis-ease,”
then we attract and manifest that which resonates with that fear,
difficulty, or dis-ease.
In this way our inner reality
– the state of our individual consciousness, whole or fragmented –
determines our outer life, as well as the state of our body-mind. To a
large degree this is done without us even being aware that we are
the source. And so it is our individual, fragmented consciousness
that holds us in patterns of repetition in a working through,
as part of an attempt to reunite the Self and regain
Eden
(wholeness). This structured (fragmented) consciousness is the glue
that binds us to our karma. But, if
this unconscious self – that binds and repetitively compels us
unconsciously – is accessed, it can be loosened and completely freed into
whole, radiant, well being.

The SelfQuesting Approach
The
SelfQuesting Approach™
finds trapped awareness that has separated off from the conscious
self to become a fear-based structure in the unconscious, and frees it to
radiate freely in conscious oneness in the body/mind and present again.
One practitioner dubbed the process of reuniting ones fragmented awareness
with the conscious Self, “the road back home” – home to the “authentic
excellence” of ones consciousness radiating in its wholeness, home to a
sense of spirited belonging and well being. This is a
homecoming to Self, grounded
in body, on the earth, with a wondrous sense of being a rightful member of
the cosmos.
The
SelfQuesting Approach™ is not some vague, mystical concept. It is a simple,
elegant, practical approach to finding parts of ones conscious being
(“Self” or “spirit”), that have split off from fully-conscious
existence due to having been traumatically touched by life, and
reuniting them with the conscious Self, grounded and radiating freely in
the body-mind. The process moves quickly, and the results are immediately
obvious by experience.
Typically a
SelfQuesting™ session begins by
talking about the client’s personal issues with a trained facilitator.
This discussion stimulates awareness in both client and facilitator of the
client’s unconscious fragments of self (parts of ones once-conscious being
that have separated off and gone into the unconscious) that are associated
with the issue or difficulty being talked about. These black holes
in the client’s consciousness implode and hide in the client’s
unconscious and, though positively intended, disrupt the well being of the
client’s body, mind, energy, and life.
The facilitator next assists
the SelfQuesting™ client to get curious, and
further identify the part by beginning to communicate with it. The finding
of the self-part’s location in or around the client’s body is often
helpful. The client’s imagination, intuition, and other senses are used to
gain access to the part. If the client has a visual, sensorial, intuitive,
kinesthetic, or other sense for the fragment, the client is guided to
expand that awareness. Thus, a conscious connection with the unconscious
disconnected self-part begins. Curiosity drives the process, as the “who,
what, when, where, and why” of the part’s existence is explored through
the client’s communication with this newfound, fragmented awareness.
Everything that needs to be
known can be gained through the client. Any senses, feelings, thoughts, or
intuitions that come to the facilitator regarding the client (and
the part being worked with) are investigated and confirmed with the
client. In this way the process is true to the client and their
SelfQuesting™ process of
increasing
self-awareness. The process is not primarily based on the
facilitator, or the facilitator’s assumptions or perceptions, which might
not be true for the client. The facilitator’s perceptions and intuitions
are very important, but are secondary to verification with the
client’s (and the part’s) reality.
Through the client’s inquiry
into an issue, a fragment of consciousness might surface that later in the
session is found to be related to past or parallel lives, other people’s
consciousness, parasitic consciousness, etc. No judgments are made as to
the “reality” or nature of these, other than that fragments of others
consciousness
don’t belong in a person’s system and that any foreign
consciousness, once found, can now be released because the client
has become aware of them and thus has gained power over them. It is only
fear and lack of awareness that holds fragmented awareness in the
unconscious. Like a perpetual-motion machine, once set in motion in the
unconscious, a fragment remains in the unconscious doing what it does
until the light of awareness shines on it and directs it otherwise. Doing
“what it does” (dis-ease) is also how the part
calls to us, to gain our attention and thereby regain unity.
In
SelfQuesting™, curious
investigation sheds this light of awareness and dispels the darkness
created by these
black holes in ones internal world. And just like a “black hole”
in outer space, in which the gravity of the situation has become so
great that it has imploded on itself and separated beyond its event
horizon from all around it, when enough light and matter is shed onto
a fragment, the “gravity” holding the situation is overcome and what was
closed opens to shine an even greater awareness onto everything. Wholeness
of conscious being therefore is unstructured, radiant and shining
like the Sun. Whereas structured, fragmented consciousness is dark,
compressed, foreboding, and full of difficulty – the source of all dis-ease.
Experience has shown that
whatever is contacted through this approach, once enough awareness is
brought to the situation, it can be released. Then positive
permanent shifts in the issue(s) are experienced. This result is
enough to verify the veracity of the approach. But ones more positive
subjective state is also verification, and one that the
SelfQuesting
client who has just released a source of dis-ease
feels no need to argue with. Specific initial aims, such as
“today we’re going to do a past-life regression,” are not particular to
the SelfQuesting Approach™. SelfQuesting™ begins by talking
about current issues and goes wherever the dialogue with the discovered
part takes one. The investigation of an issue might, for example, lead to
a fragment claiming to have been created in a past life, and it might not.
The client and facilitator merely go into the psyche and follow
where that leads “without memory or desire” on the part of the
facilitator, and without undue interference from the client’s conscious
mind. The facilitator’s relative wholeness and proper presence
within an environment of curiosity, openness, and experience is all that’s
needed. Any specific
blocks surfacing in the process melt in the face of curiosity,
respect, and the light of awareness.
Once enough is known, about
the part by the client, and about the client by
the part, the splintered consciousness can release from its withholding
structure and radiate out and into oneness with the conscious self, to
create Self (wholeness). This release precipitates a process of
integration, whereby the body, mind, energy, identity, and life of the
client come into alignment (wellness) in a way that reflects the new
wholeness of conscious being.

Integrating Wholeness of Consciousness Into
Mind-Body Well Being
Integration may take
minutes, hours, days, or more and coincides with a growth process
that was formerly blocked but now has no known limits. The client’s system
adjusts and grows according to the newly unified self-awareness. This more
whole “Self” or “spirit” directs the expression of the body, mind, and
life according to its greater wholeness, rather than the separation, fear,
difficulty, and dis-ease that existed before in fragmentation. Integration
can often be greatly facilitated by using
vibrational
tools.
Particularly, high-quality
essential oils can smooth, hasten, and assist this
transformation to expressing whole being on all
levels
of the individual’s body, mind, subtle energy, and outer life. These
various levels of ones system always reflect the state of the
Self, whole or fragmented. [For more on the use of essential oils
and other vibrational
tools also see the book Butterflies in a
Bottle
(Greg Hitter,
PhD) and several of
the SelfQuest
newsletters available on selfquesting.com.]
Thus, greater wholeness
translates to greater wellness and well being. It also frees
one to create wealth, and develops a greater sense of holiness,
the sacred, spirit. [Interestingly enough, these words – well, wellness,
wealth, heal, health, holiness, hallowed – all derive from the common root
word “whole,” implying that to have these qualities requires wholeness,
not as some vague mystical concept, but as a state of being whole in ones
conscious being, Self.]
Once a particular fragmented
awareness is freed, it does not go back to a fragmented state. The
issue(s) associated with that released fragment typically will shift to
reflect the greater wholeness. Other fragments may still hold the
issue in a now-modified expression until these remaining fragments are
given their due and released into wholeness. [How else could it be?]
Thus, the source of
pain and repetitive difficulty, even what some call “karma,” can be found
in an individual’s fragmented consciousness, and released into whole being
by directly questing oneness of consciousness. From the very first
session, one can sense the directness, ease, and quick, powerful results
of the
SelfQuesting Approach™.
As one becomes whole there is
less of a need to eat to self-medicate, and thus keep pain
down with food that lowers ones awareness. There is a natural tendency to
gravitate toward a whole, raw, superfood
(wolfberry, cacao, maca, bluegreen alge, coconut, etc.) vegan
diet (no meat or dairy) that genuinely feeds the body-mind
what it needs. This diet provides the rich, highly bio-available forms of
minerals and other nutrients that the body and brain need to optimally
hold wholeness of consciousness in the body and to perform optimally,
without destroying the body’s health, energy, ph balance, oxygen, and
other nutrients as cooked food, dairy, and meat will do. Approaching a
rawfood, vegan diet after having achieved a semblance of wholeness
becomes a natural, easy, enjoyable process – as opposed to being a
test of discipline in an attempt to conform to a good idea (the
kind of extreme discipline and idea that only the pain of a
fragmented Self can drive).
