The Society for PsychoSpiritual Evolution provides guidance and mentoring for individuals and groups, as well as professional training in applying the key fundamentals of PsychoSpirituality in guidance and counseling. Human transformation is aimed at unfolding full potential through self-transcendence. Self- transcendence involves removing barriers to growth. Many of these barriers pertain to the unconscious. PsychoSpirituality assists clients to integrate into a conscious and intentional life what they instead resist, avoid, or try to escape, which generates feelings, thoughts and behaviors that are detrimental to growth. Psychological and spiritual conflicts may arise on the spiritual quest due to various types of blocks: Energy blocks arise from mistaken assumptions and immature beliefs, misdirected desires and unresolved emotions, and negative habits and unbalanced lifestyles. Energetic blockage results in ambivalence and periodic detours on the spiritual journey. Emotional blocks arise from repressed or suppressed issues that hinder one's ability to trust in a benevolent principle governing the universe and guiding one's progress. Emotional blockage leads to viewing oneself negatively as a helpless victim of fate, doomed to struggle against insurmountable odds, instead of being able to appreciate and tap into one's inherent potential both as an individual and as a spiritual being. Mental blocks arise from inadequate conceptual models for appreciating one's potential for growth and integrating them into daily living. Mental blockage causes anxiety and confusion, either deterring or deflecting one from being purposeful in life.         PsychoSpirituality aims at identifying and overcoming these blocks to growth through integrating ancient wisdom and modern knowledge. Specific means are available in the world's venerable spiritual traditions as well as contemporary integrative disciplines to assist individuals in making these transitions that lie beyond social adaptation and successful enculturation. There are also technologies, ancient and modern, for removing mental, emotional or energetic blockage. PsychoSpirituality is guided by an epistemology that has three major components: The first epistemological level relates to a person's unfinished past, as well as everything that hinders one from moving forward psychologically toward self-actualization through transcendence and full integration. This is principally the area of bringing unconscious material that constitutes the shadow of the conscious ego into the light of consciousness, where it can be dealt with intentionally. The second epistemological level deals with the self's transcendence of the reality-distorting, parental matrix through its learning to bond with Mother Nature, a lesson that is rarely learned in sophisticated cultures such as ours that are specializing more and more in mind tools. The third epistemological level refers to unfolding the full potential of the human ego by bonding with one's Higher Self as one's true nature and spiritual "parent."       The psychospiritual model of growth through assisted self-learning proceeds in the following stages: Stage 1: Awareness The learner begins the psychospiritual process with honesty, openness, and willingness to observe without judgment one's feelings, assumptions, beliefs, values, thought patterns, habits and behaviors. This involves in particular working on hidden assumptions and reactive patterns that create obstacles to conscious and intentional self-management. Stage 2: Responsibility Having achieved some level of awareness of the conscious ego and its unconscious shadow, the learner becomes capable of greater and greater success with self-management. One begins to take responsibility for one's own growth and increasingly acquires the ability for intentional self-direction through deliberation, choice and purposeful action. At this stage one enters the domain of freedom of choice instead of constantly reacting unconsciously to internal and external stimuli. One begins to differentiate first between freedom from restriction and freedom to choose, and then between freedom to choose and freedom for self-actualization. In short, one learns to become more consciously purposeful. Stage 3. Appreciation After acquiring certain self-management skills and a sense of purpose, the learner integrates models of forgiveness in order to deal with pain and suffering, rather than internalize them through guilt and shame, or externalize them through blame and attack. One's capacity increases in accepting and taking responsibility instead of resisting or avoiding. The ability also grows to observe and dissipate rather than repress or act out what one has previously repressed or suppressed, for example, by either venting on others or sabotaging oneself. This results in greater appreciation of one's inherent self-worth as a spiritual being, which is expressed socially as greater empathy and compassion. Stage 4. Self-Transcendence As learners acquire skills of self-awareness, self-responsibility, and self-compassion, they are more prepared for authentic self-transcendence by accessing more easily the Higher Self within through the cultivation of intuition, which involves balancing head and heart.
