Horror and Hope: The Long-Term Impact of Separating Children from Parents at the Border

by Laureen Dunne | September 29, 2019 | Lectures | 0 Comments

This is not a Political Issue, this is a Humanity Issue Pathwork Helper and teacher, Judith Garten, made a video with two other colleagues. They made this offering, though they admit imperfect, with love and compassion for all the families ripped apart at our Southern border. Judith in particular can understand the impact, as she was orphaned in the ending years of the Holocaust. Their goal is to inform people about the effects, for which she bring in colleagues who specialize in childhood trauma and development impacts. And it’s a call to action, with some ways to do that, if you are moved. They geared it to a general audience, not Pathworkers alone. If you are inspired to see it, it’s about 22 minutes long.

“Why Dig in The Darkness”- The Mind-Blowing Damage of Denial

by Laureen Dunne | July 10, 2019 | Lectures | 0 Comments

When you get right down to it, suffering doesn’t come to us, it comes through us. It originates from the depths of our beings, from our destructiveness. What happens is that we all become busy little bees, trying to figure out how to avoid, reduce or eliminate our suffering. But since we are presently chained to this world of duality, our typical methods don't work. For in our minds eye we see two forces that oppose each other. One is good, or constructive, and the other is bad, or destructive. And right there, in the moment we get trapped in this system of dualistic thinking, we lose any possibility of solving our problem. And of course our problem, we think, is whatever is causing us to suffer. The bigger problems lies in the way we automatically begin to shield ourselves from actually seeing whatever is destructive within us. We deny. We avoid. We repress. We lie to ourselves and others. We do whatever it takes to not see there is a root cause for our suffering, and it’s in us. (Continue Reading...)

Weekly Quote

"When man is in harmony with life because he is connected with his own causes and effects, his position toward the forces of life can be compared to a swimmer. The swimmer floats on the water. The water carries him. And yet he moves, he is not passive." from PGL #160: Conciliation of the Inner Split

“A vessel that is closed cannot be filled any more than it can be emptied. When you hold yourself tight and guarded, you not only fail to protect yourself from danger, but you close yourself to all the healthy universal forces — those that could and should stream out of you, and that could and should stream into you.”
— Pathwork Guide Lecture #155

Unlocking the Body's Mysteries

Where, Really, is the Wall?

by Laureen Dunne | March 15, 2019 | Lectures | 0 Comments

THE WALLS WE BUILD IN OUR OUTER MATERIAL WORLDARE ACTUALLY FAR EASIER TO DESTROY THAN THIS INNER WALL We all want the good stuff: love, truth, goodness and light. These desires emanate from the divine spark at the center of each person. But like sunlight trying to shine through dirty glass, these rays often taken on hazy shades as they penetrate our layers of imperfection. So, yeah, our best self wants to be good, and to do good. At the same time, our efforts are often also colored by selfishness. Our motives are mixed, making us confused about what to do next. Our path will become easier if we can accept that some of our motives come from a pure place and some come from a selfish one. Such clarity won’t be flattering or comfortable, but it will actually give us peace of mind. Truth, after all, is soothing once we’ve made up our mind not to fight it. Plus, coming down from our high horse is healthy and always has a positive effect on us. So as we start out on a spiritual path, we may want to do good outwardly, while at the same time we harbor selfish thoughts within. This is normal. Our work at this point is to face ourselves as we are, and accept that we can’t change this quite yet. Then one of two things will happen. Either we will go about doing good deeds while hoping to gain admiration, or else...

The Pathwork Lectures

by Laureen Dunne | March 5, 2019 | Lectures | 0 Comments

"Every human being senses an inner longing that goes deeper than the longings for emotional and creative fulfillment. This longing comes from sensing that another, more fulfilling state of consciousness and a larger capacity to experience life must exist." — Pathwork Guide Lecture 204 Background on the Pathwork Lectures Visit the International Pathwork Foundation's complete downloadable lecture archive. The lectures given by Eva Pierrakos from 1957 until her death in 1979 are the heart of the Pathwork. They are an astonishing roadmap to self-responsibility, self-knowledge, and true self-acceptance. They point the way to genuine love of self, others, and the Divine. The lectures cover the wide spectrum of our human journey, from our struggles with self-doubt, self-hatred and fear of inadequacy to the barriers we put up to relating with others, and ultimately with what we each know as God. The lectures teach that vital life energy, feelings and insight are often buried under misconceptions about the nature of reality. We are all familiar with some of these wrong conclusions. For example, "It's weak to need and accept help; I don't deserve love and kindness; responsibility means a loss of freedom." When such misconceptions are carried into adult life, particularly when they are unconscious, we surrender our physical, spiritual...
