Mutual Awakening from Patricia Albere

Are you ready for a paradigm shift in your spiritual practice, one that takes you beyond the ultimately isolating model of solo practice and into a living, evolving field of mutual awakening — whether with one other person or a whole group?

Are you eager to participate in the highest level of adult human development and evolution?

If you answered “yes” to these questions, then it may be your time for a shift of awareness that can open up a whole new reality!

For millennia, most transformational practices have been focused on slowly but surely transforming, growing, deepening and expanding your individual self.

From Buddhist vipassana to Freudian analysis to personal growth seminars… the task has always been to create a more evolved, clear, awake, healed and empowered you, OR to transcend this separate self altogether into a kind of undifferentiated nirvana.

While the individualistic model of growth has resulted in some real developmental advances, and even breakthroughs (especially amongst advanced practitioners), it also has profound limitations.

When you begin to reach those limitations, the old practices and perspectives begin to feel stale. You begin to hunger for deeper communion with like-minded others. You wonder how to really live in an embodied, divine way in loving connection and in relationship.

Slowly but surely, you are no longer as enamored by improving, fixing or enhancing your individual self and your being starts yearning for participation in something wider, more alive and more vibrant.

At the deepest level, you begin to seek an identity that goes beyond your personality that has access to larger fields of energy, insight and love.

From Individual Awakening to Mutual Awakening

This identity can best be described as a kind of shared consciousness where two or more people are both part of a larger field that holds and embraces them. In this way, they literally begin to share awareness.

If you’re lucky, you might have had some glimpses of this different kind of spiritual realization in which you enter into a shared consciousness — a higher, divine “We.”

When such a glimpse happens, it’s as if the floodgates have been thrown open and far more sacred energy travels through your body and mind. There’s a kind of electric pulse in the air as the boundaries between yourself and others begin to thin and you learn to merge into a beautiful state of loving resonance.

As you connect with this larger field of consciousness, you also open to more intuitive knowing, grace and creativity. Your collaborations begin to come alive as you, quite literally, begin to feel and think as one.

As it turns out, this emergence into a higher “We” is a natural evolutionary progression, one that is now accelerating as more and more humans continue evolving into a sufficiently advanced state for us to experience it.

Mystics throughout the ages have revealed that our sense of separation is an illusion, and in a very real way we are all part of the fabric of a larger Being.

While this mystical truth may sound wonderful in the abstract, most of us don’t feel it day to day, even in our spiritual practices.

But what if that’s simply because you haven’t learned to cultivate the skills for engaging mutual awakening as a spiritual practice?

What if there are techniques and methods that are evolving, right now — at the leading edge of human evolution — which can make this joyful, ecstatic dance of communion with others a new baseline for your life?

What if the deep sense of aloneness could drop away while the boundaries and barriers that separate you from others soften and release?

Imagine the staggering beauty and love you would begin to feel, moment to moment.

That’s precisely what transformational teacher Patricia Albere has been pioneering — a path for advanced practitioners who are ripe to enter into new dimensions of relating and expanding consciousness together.

Patricia’s approaches are both unifying and viscerally satisfying — unleashing more creativity, joy and collaborative magic than going it alone could ever produce.

This shift into a “higher We” requires entering a new paradigm, which has been called the “Inter-Subjective Age,” “Inter-Being” or the “Era of Unity.”

In the process of fixating on the individual self, we haven’t honed our understanding or skills for sensing, moving and living in a larger field of shared intelligence.

We haven’t learned to awaken TOGETHER, which has actually slowed our spiritual progress WAY down — because we are not accessing the creative and liberating power of the group field.

Harvard developmental psychologist Robert Kegan writes that the highest level of human development is NOT self-authoring — focusing on one’s own awakening, healing and individual actualization. Instead, it’s about what he calls the “self-transforming mind,” where you start to foster and pay attention to the potent space between things.

Your consciousness becomes more flowing and you can begin to locate yourself in multiple dimensions.

As this happens, you become cognizant of many things simultaneously. In this way, mutual awakening practices begin to shift the linear way you may focus your awareness. When you shift from the personal to the collective space, you shift from unidimensional perspectives into a multiplicity of perspectives that also include transpersonal states of knowing.

Mutual awakening is emerging as the wave of the future as more and more of us go beyond sitting on our zafus seeking individual enlightenment, to awakening as an engaged collective or in partnership with a beloved.

But mutual awakening doesn’t happen magically… it takes learned skills to cultivate a sensitive, intimate field of consciousness and connection. It also requires a new inner orientation and alignment.

This shift allows you to transform old habits of thought, old views of yourself and ways of relating that keep you feeling separate.

When you learn to lean into the spaces between you and others, and feel the boundaries and edges, you eventually enter into a state of shared consciousness. It’s as if we suddenly merge our “bubbles” of self-awareness into one, and we are all on the inside looking out.

Experiencing this doesn’t have to be random luck. It’s a skill that you can practice and cultivate.

As we hone these capacities and shift our perspectives, we can open to remarkable shared experiences where we deeply recognize each other, unite in spontaneous upwellings of love and surrender into the sacred connection of Oneness.

We begin to revere the Beloved in each other (and in ourselves), as the shimmering dance of the Divine becomes far more present and palpable.

The Importance of a Skilled Guide

Building upon more than three decades of teaching (including working closely with Werner Erhard in the early years of EST), Patricia Albere is highly skilled at creating the practices and context for entering into this new level of “We-mysticism.”

She personally discovered this new possibility in a mysterious and beautiful relationship with an advanced spiritual adept who was killed four years after their union. While the end was heartbreaking, the experience of a shared and mutual awakening propelled Patricia into the next phase of her spiritual journey.

Out of that journey and Patricia’s awakening which occurred through the shared field, she created her larger work — initiating groups to enter into mutual awakening together. The results have been extraordinary, as more people learn to shift into a collective consciousness and experience the joy, creativity and dynamism of this multidimensional level of consciousness.

If you are hungry to go beyond your current practice of awakening and begin to relate to others in a wholly new way that calls your full being into the dance… her virtual Mutual Awakening course was created for you.

Patricia presents a profoundly different paradigm in which to grow. Mutual awakening is designed to take you beyond the current boundaries of yourself… not through a loss of identity (indeed, you actually retain and enhance your uniqueness), but by an expansion of your awareness into a space of shared consciousness.

This doesn’t mean you’re not still growing individually (in fact, even though you’re not focused on it, rapid personal growth does happen) It’s about experiencing an enhanced way of connecting with others that takes the focus off yourself and speeds up your process because you’re intently focused on the “We” instead of the “me.”

The space of “We-mysticism” goes beyond what we typically think of as the “We,” which is often still very interpersonal and about an interaction “between people.” Instead, Patricia helps people enter into a shared subjective experience where a deeply connected state of being opens up. It’s a whole different way to experience one’s self and one’s development.

Once you’ve access this shared experience, you can never return to your individual quest for growth and healing. You’re instead embarking on a whole new, more expansive journey.

What is particularly exciting to us at The Shift Network is that this paradigm shift in spiritual practice also holds great promise for a critical mass of people entering a higher state and then being able to make positive shifts in our world.

As we experience and live from this state — truly experiencing ourselves as part of a larger whole — we collaborate with each other far more gracefully. Like the cells in a body, we start to operate as a stronger whole.

And that may well be the key to building a world that works for all. Mutual awakening can accelerate our collective evolution and produce far more conscious, embodied and fully engaged humans… which is exactly what we need to turn things around.

So, if you’re intrigued and want to go beyond the ultimately isolating model of solo practice and into a living, evolving field of mutual awakening (with one other person or a whole group), or you’re curious about the highest level of adult human development now emerging — this will be a fascinating and important course for you.

Module 1: Awakening Mutuality
The Higher We

Reality exists for the purpose of relating. This module will introduce the domain of “intersubjective awakening” or the “Higher We.” We’ll explore the reality of what some call “Inter-Being” — where two or more people enter into a mutual field of awakening. As this occurs, we experience the receptive and interwoven fabric for human relating. When two or more people enter into awakened mutuality they come in contact with the true source of each other’s being. We’ll explore a profound new possibility for human relationships that open between us into a space of tremendous creativity and love.

Module 2: Understanding “A Higher Order of Human Relatedness”

In this module, you’ll discover what this new paradigm is, and how by shifting your attention and focus into this new world, everything in your life can be transformed. A shift in paradigm is entirely different than learning more inside the paradigm you currently exist in. It changes everything — how you experience yourself, the world and what potentials you can actualize. At certain times in human history, certain individuals find the courage to leave one paradigm behind and embrace a new one — to shift from one reality to another. This emerging paradigm of unity and a higher order of human relatedness is where humanity is headed. By being on the cosmocentric edge, the wave of transformative energy that new eras contain lives through you — which is an extraordinary opportunity.

Module 3: Igniting the Power of We-mysticism

Mysticism is the realm of human endeavor aimed at making direct contact with the Divine. The passion of the mystic is to touch the hidden depths beyond the world of appearances. For thousands of years men and women of different spiritual traditions have followed mystical paths into the higher reaches of human potential. Those who had the courage and commitment to embody what they found became harbingers of new ways of being human. In this module, we’ll discover a new realm of mysticism that can only be entered into together — in sacred union with the Divine in each other and with something even greater.
