The Integral Self-Transcendent Education Project
INSPIRING A GLOBAL PARADIGM SHIFT ONE PERSON AT A TIME
The IEP combines Dialogic Pedagogy, Transpersonal Psychology, Philosophy, New Physics, New Biology, Neuropsychology and Neurolinguistics.
Love makes the world go 'round
The Psychology of Self-Transcendence:
Mindfulness, the Middle Way Healing the shadowy self, the sense of fragmented psyche
Inner transformation is the essence of self-transcendent psychology.
We are investigating Jungian Psychology, heart intelligence, hemispheric integration and Eastern philosophies.
Man, know thyself.
The Zen Mind:
Free your mind from dualistic perceptions and relative truths.
Discard usual patterns and paradigms.
Make the unconscious conscious.
Allow psychological/energy blocks that are holding back new development to heal.
Rediscover the true, fully awakened you.
"Truth is a pathless land." (Jiddu Krishnamurti)
Our philosophy: Non-dualism
"Education means self-healing. Self-healing requires a paradigm shift. A paradigm shift implies self-knowledge. Self-knowledge requires self-honesty. Self-honesty makes one look inward. To look inward we need to tune in to the heart. To tune in to the heart is to rediscover Love.This is self-realization, when we awaken to heart consciousness." (Claudia Correa in The Path of the Heart Teachings)
Your life and your world can be healed when the sense of separate, fragmented, split-off self is healed, reintegrated and transcended; when the dualistic mind illusions are seen for what they truly are: illusions. Healing begins within us, at the unconscious level. Healing is inner metamorphosis. All it takes is a shift in perception, a shift in awareness.
In the IEP Curriculum,
no one is above anyone else. No person is more important than another. Everyone is a leader in their own life. There are no ranks. There are no grades. There are no gurus. There are no rescuers. There is no quick fix.
The IEP has only one curriculum: to mentor people in healing the illusion of (perception of) separation from Source by reconnecting with their core, their true, unique individuality --which is the source of love we all come from, the Heart of All Things. This is the attunement with the heart. The intelligence of the heart can guide us and tell us all we need to know. This is the inner path, the path of compassion, the return to innocent thinking. On the path of the heart, we must travel light, which means we must let go of the emotional baggage and limitation beliefs unconscious programming. The Path of the Heart or the Path of Self-Transcendence is therefore a pathless and agendaless journey because we do not need to go anywhere. We do not need to do anything. We are already free and Innocent. We are just not aware of that. The path of the heart is the process of remembering who we truly are.
In unity (heart) consciousness, we refuse to play the role of the victim nor the role of the victimizer.
Unity consciousness is the path of the heart. Unity consciousness is the Middle Way, the way of integration, the way of synthesis.
In the IEP, the term "healing" or "self-healing" means to rise above dualistic thinking, also known as the consciousness of dialectics (the egoitic, human mind), which is the sense of separate self. Healing is the re-integration of our psyche at micro and macro levels. We must allow the belief that we are separated (from one another and from Life Itself) to be healed (transcended).
In the IEP Curriculum, education refers to the ongoing process of self-transcendence. Education is the process by which a person tunes in to the Source of All Life in everything and everyone, the source of creativity and inspiration. Education refers to self-exploration and therefore psychological self-healing. It is the process by which we free our minds from finite things and self-created illusions. Education implies a consciousness shift. Education brings about a quantum leap, DNA reconnection. Education questions the status quo, conventionality, and the orthodoxy. Education is the process of clearing the subconscious mind of the dialectical worldview; it is about conscious living. Everyone teaches, yet everyone is a student. Education is aimed at healing the illusion of separation. Education fosters sovereignty and self-responsibility. Integral education is aimed at fully integrating the right and the left hemispheres of the human brain. Both hemispheres are reintegrated when a person awakens to the intelligence of the heart. As an individual self-transcends, the east and the west become fully integrated; the feminine and the masculine aspects become fully integrated; science and spirituality become fully integrated.
Teaching means to inspire, guide, and mentor self-transcendence. Everyone can teach; yet nothing needs to be taught, for all we need to know comes from within. The teacher makes everything possible for his/her pupils. The teacher encourages people to think for themselves. The teacher helps free people from the sense of separate (limited/finite) self. Teaching means to inspire self-honesty, self-transcendence, self-observation, and self-awareness. In the IEP, rather than the terms "teacher" and "student", we use the term "practitioners of the heart."
Learning is an ongoing quest for self-rediscovery, self-transcendence, self-mastery, and consciousness expansion. A person takes charge of his/her learning experience. He or she is a leader in his/her own world. He or she is a life explorer. Like the entire universe, we are constantly evolving, expanding and transcending ourselves. Learning is to become aware of what we know in deep or higher levels of our being. Learning is to empty ourselves of the conditioned mind. Education is therefore to access deeper levels of awareness. Learning is the process by which the unconscious is made conscious. Our perceptions of self are then healed and transcended.
Classes and other gatherings are "heart talks", round table dialogues, in which participants are encouraged to speak from the heart.
"Learning is the process by which we remember the Truth. Learning is awakening to our true nature." (Dr. Claudia Correa, Heart Speaks)
"Integral self-transcendent education is aimed at releasing the fear of the other (person) and therefore the shadowy self we mirror and project in one another. I equate awakening -- which is mind heart integration-- with dialectical mind over matter, and consequently Heart over both mind and matter; Heart over all illusions of separation (illusion of independence) and all ego-personality identifications and attachments to finite things." (Dr. Claudia Correa)
We are practitioners of the Heart.
Integral means complete, holistic, entire, fully integrated, whole. Integral education means full inclusion, for it is inclusive of everything. Integral means essential. Integral means synthesis, for it rises above dualistic thinking. Integral education encompasses mind, body and spirit (Heart).
Self-transcendence refers to the process of letting go of limitation beliefs, social and mind conditioning and ego-personality created illusions. When we let go of (transcend) the ego personality, we awaken ourselves to the true, magnificent beings that we are. Self-transcendence refers to the transcendence of body and mind perceptions (emotions, truths, judgments, and opinions), and that is accomplished with unconditional love, compassion and self-honesty. It refers to the detachment from the illusory separation (independence) from the whole and the sense of fragmented Self.
Integral Self-transcendent Education is integral and integrative.
Continuous change is at the root of integral, self-transcendent education whether it is introducing healthier ways of being or inner work that brings about radical development and/or healing of psychological and mental blockages.
No one who lives in fear is truly alive. The only true self-mastery is through love."
(C. Correa in Heart Speaks)
"We are the mirror as well as the face in it
We are tasting the taste this instant
of eternity.
We are pain and what cures pain both
We are the sweet cold water
and the jar that pours." (Rumi, 1207-1273)
"All is emptiness, voidness, meaning-less, formless, concrete-less. Oneness-Interconnectedness-Heart consciousness is born from this wisdom: Independent-ness is ignorance. Interconnectedness is wisdom. Because everything is empty; everything is interconnected; everything is One, and One is everything. Therefore, your existence and everything in it is a spiritual practice." (C.Correa, Heart Speaks)

The way of Heart: Innocent, Neutral, Unbiased, Agendaless Thinking
"Seek holiness in everyone, in everything, in every step you take along this journey. In seeking holiness in everything, in everyone, and in every event, you honor your own holiness. This is innocent thinking. This is Oneness Blessing. Bless everyone. Bless everything. Bless every single moment, for in the core of everything and every moment breathes out eternity -- the eternal big bang -- as Heart (your Source) is beating in everything and in everyone." (C. Correa, The Path of the Heart)
"If small things have the power to disturb you, then who you think you are is exactly that: small. That will be your unconscious belief. What are the small things? Ultimately all things are small because all things are transient." (E. Tolle in A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life's Purpose)
"No one can be forced to see through the veil of their illusions. We will only hear what we are ready to hear. When you co-create from Heart (Oneness) consciousness, your co-creation will uplift all Life. It will make not only your life but all Life expand and transcend itself. Much has been said about the power of the human, conditioned mind. We are here to remind ourselves of the power of the heart -- heart intelligence -- which surpasses all dialectical mind illusions of relative good and relative evil." (Claudia Correa,The Path of the Heart and the Return to Innocence)

ON THE PATH TO SELF-TRANSCENDENCE
Transcend the sense of separated self. Awaken to your true nature.
To embrace or not to embrace
the whole, magnificent beings we are at heart...
that is the question.
WHAT IS THE INTEGRAL SELF-TRANSCENDENT EDUCATION PROJECT?
"What we see depends on the way we think." (Physicist David Bohm)
This is a website for people who are ready to go beyond dualistic thinking. The IEP is a school for people who are ready to let go of the consciousness of dialectics, Cartesian dualism and relative truths. Rather than on power struggles, we are choosing to focus our awareness on the synthesis (integration) between what the dialectical mind perceives as opposite (contradictory) forces, dichotomies. This is a website for people who are not afraid of questioning the illusions of the human-conditioned mind or finite self (the illusory separation subject-object/observer-observed). We are all in this together. Like many educational initiatives being created in the world today, the IEP is a school of people who are willing to transform (liberate) themselves and overcome the dualistic, biased (relativistic) approaches to experiencing (perceiving) reality. Your reality is made from individual, relative truths. Self-honesty, self-observation, compassion and humility are crucial in the path to liberation (from ego stories and relative, individual truths). To self-transcend is to let go of individual, relative truths.
At the local IEP, everyone teaches and everyone is a student. We teach by loving all unconditionally. There are no gurus, but one's own heart. We are allowing a planetary paradigm shift -- a Renaissance -- to take place within ourselves. We are attempting to integrate all worldviews; doing so we are attempting to integrate all aspects of our Selves. We are consciously choosing to allow the rebuilding of the world's social structures by first and foremost transcending the unconscious dualistic worldview -- dualistic narratives and dualistic interpretations (the conditioned, human mind). Change takes place within.
We are redefining education. We are taking back our power. We are reevaluating the humanistic mind truths (relativism). Physiopsychospiritual energy blocks -- psychological traumas and limitation, relativistic beliefs (the sense of separation and independence from the whole and from Source) -- are major obstacles to self-transcendence. By tuning in to the Source of All Life, we can unlock our potential to rise above emotional traumas and our present sense of Self and current life circumstances and limitations and recognize how truly powerful we are when we surrender to Source (the Absolute One).

"The world does not change. You change." (Heart Speaks)
The Project for Integral Self-Transcendent Education is located on a little piece of Earth in the beautiful, sunny Southern California, USA.
Dr. Claudia Correa created this online school in early 2009 so that Life explorers, scholars, philosophers, and researchers from around the globe could partake in her local educational undertaking. The Project for Integral Self-Transcendent Education is aimed at healing the mind of the me-against-them world view. Among several events, the local IEP school and this online school house quarterly web classes and workshops aimed at self-exploration and self-transcendence.
Overview: The Project for Integral Self-Transcendent Education was created to facilitate planetary healing from the inside out, one person at a time. Integral transcendent education defines self healing as a shift in awareness -- from the dialectics mentality (the perception of Reality as a separation between the parts and the Whole) to integral consciousness -- interconnectedness world view. Integral transcendent education is grounded in one basic premise -- that every human being is a unique gift to the world, and is yet interconnected with the Whole. All Life springs from the same Source. At the subatomic level we are all interconnected, interrelated and integrated parts of the Whole. Life is one interconnected Whole. We are One interconnected Life. We are One consciousness. We are One in the Heart of Source. Oneness Consciousness is the oneness with our source, the Source of all life.
Integral self-transcendent education is aimed at guiding individuals in the processes of a.) transcending the attachment to ego-personality (which is the sense of separate self); b.) integrating the left and the right hemispheres of the brain; c.) re-discovering their interconnectedness with the Whole; d.) reconnecting with Heart-Source; e.) awakening planetary consciousness, which is planetary cohesion and cohesiveness, one heart at a time f.) discovering their unique gifts; g.) finding an outlet for the talents that make them unlike anyone else, which is world service.
The Heart way of life: The no-self, no-time, no-illusions of form way of life.
We are blending science and spirituality.
We are blending art and science.
We are transcending materialistic science and mental/materialistic/personality cult spirituality.
We are transcending "positive" thinking and "negative" thinking.
The Integral Education Project does not endorse political parties, religions, institutions or philosophies which foster dialectics, dichotomies, division, competition, controversies, survivalism (the survival of the parts), petty arguments, racism, populism, manufactured public consensus, hatred groups, and therefore fear and the enslavement of the mind or the body. The Integral Education Project does not endorse educational, political, economic and social systems which may foster dehumanization, exploitation, or any form of oppression. The IEP is non-religious, non-political, and non-sectarian.
The Integral Education Project (IEP) social network will not engage in activities which may foster the oppression of a person's innate talents and birthright to co-create his/her own reality; nor will the IEP foster the suppression of a person's birthright to self-discovery and self-mastery. Anyone is free to decline this invitation to join the IEP Fellowship.
The Integral Education Project endorses self-responsibility and sovereignty consciousness. "Be the change you want to see in the world" (M. Gandhi). Integral education is aimed at helping people help themselves to take charge of their existences through their mastering of the conditioned mind.
Integral transcendent education defines Humanity as One body; humanity as One living organism; humanity as One heartbeat; humanity as One Life.
There is one Life. Heart-Oneness Consciousness is activated when the "We" replaces the separate "I".
Each of us, every culture, and every ethnic group have a unique contribution to make to the world tapestry, and therefore are equally important and relevant. The IEP encourages people to discover what makes them unique -- their core, their unique individuality. The IEP encourages people to follow their passion -- to follow what brings them pure, innocent joy. The IEP encourages people to multiply their talents.
Consciousness is emptiness.
We are all consciousness.
Our natural state is emptiness of the ego.
Self Healing (Self-Transcendence) encompasses:
RECOGNITION
self-observation and self-honesty
ACCEPTANCE AND OPENNESS
compassion, unconditional gratitude for what is
DETACHMENT AND SURRENDER
humility, surrender (unconditional trust in Source), detached awareness, silence, emptiness, to let it be, not-self, no sense of separated, fragmented self
Flavors numb the taste.
Thoughts weaken the mind.
Desires wither the heart.
The Master observes the world
but trusts his inner vision.
He allows things to come and go.
His heart is open as the sky.
Empty your mind of all thoughts.
Let your heart be at peace.
Watch the turmoil of beings,
but contemplate their return. (Tao Te Ching )
Be not the slave of your own past. Plunge into the sublime seas, dive deep and swim far, so you shall come back with self-respect, with new power, with an advanced experience that shall explain and overlook the old.
(Ralph Waldo Emerson)
Man did not weave the web of life _ he is merely a strand in it. Whatever he does to the web, he does to himself. (Chief Seattle, 1854)
To embrace or not to embrace
the whole, magnificent beings we are at heart...
that is the question.

We are consciously choosing to allow the rebuilding of the world's social structures by first and foremost transcending the unconscious dualistic worldview -- dualistic narratives and dualistic interpretations (the conditioned, human mind). Change takes place within.
We are redefining education. We are taking back our power. We are reevaluating the humanistic mind truths (relativism). Physiopsychospiritual energy blocks -- psychological traumas and limitation, relativistic beliefs (the sense of separation and independence from the whole and from Source) -- are major obstacles to self-transcendence. By tuning in to the Source of All Life, we can unlock our potential to rise above emotional traumas and our present sense of Self and current life circumstances and limitations and recognize how truly powerful we are when we surrender to Source (the Absolute One).

"The world does not change. You change." (Heart Speaks)
The Project for Integral Self-Transcendent Education is located on a little piece of Earth in the beautiful, sunny Southern California, USA.
Dr. Claudia Correa created this online school in early 2009 so that Life explorers, scholars, philosophers, and researchers from around the globe could partake in her local educational undertaking. The Project for Integral Self-Transcendent Education is aimed at healing the mind of the me-against-them world view. Among several events, the local IEP school and this online school house quarterly web classes and workshops aimed at self-exploration and self-transcendence.
Overview: The Project for Integral Self-Transcendent Education was created to facilitate planetary healing from the inside out, one person at a time. Integral transcendent education defines self healing as a shift in awareness -- from the dialectics mentality (the perception of Reality as a separation between the parts and the Whole) to integral consciousness -- interconnectedness world view. Integral transcendent education is grounded in one basic premise -- that every human being is a unique gift to the world, and is yet interconnected with the Whole. All Life springs from the same Source. At the subatomic level we are all interconnected, interrelated and integrated parts of the Whole. Life is one interconnected Whole. We are One interconnected Life. We are One consciousness. We are One in the Heart of Source. Oneness Consciousness is the oneness with our source, the Source of all life.
Integral self-transcendent education is aimed at guiding individuals in the processes of a.) transcending the attachment to ego-personality (which is the sense of separate self); b.) integrating the left and the right hemispheres of the brain; c.) re-discovering their interconnectedness with the Whole; d.) reconnecting with Heart-Source; e.) awakening planetary consciousness, which is planetary cohesion and cohesiveness, one heart at a time f.) discovering their unique gifts; g.) finding an outlet for the talents that make them unlike anyone else, which is world service.
The Heart way of life: The no-self, no-time, no-illusions of form way of life.
We are blending science and spirituality.
We are blending art and science.
We are transcending materialistic science and mental/materialistic/personality cult spirituality.
We are transcending "positive" thinking and "negative" thinking.
The Integral Education Project does not endorse political parties, religions, institutions or philosophies which foster dialectics, dichotomies, division, competition, controversies, survivalism (the survival of the parts), petty arguments, racism, populism, manufactured public consensus, hatred groups, and therefore fear and the enslavement of the mind or the body. The Integral Education Project does not endorse educational, political, economic and social systems which may foster dehumanization, exploitation, or any form of oppression. The IEP is non-religious, non-political, and non-sectarian.
The Integral Education Project (IEP) social network will not engage in activities which may foster the oppression of a person's innate talents and birthright to co-create his/her own reality; nor will the IEP foster the suppression of a person's birthright to self-discovery and self-mastery. Anyone is free to decline this invitation to join the IEP Fellowship.
The Integral Education Project endorses self-responsibility and sovereignty consciousness. "Be the change you want to see in the world" (M. Gandhi). Integral education is aimed at helping people help themselves to take charge of their existences through their mastering of the conditioned mind.
Integral transcendent education defines Humanity as One body; humanity as One living organism; humanity as One heartbeat; humanity as One Life.
There is one Life. Heart-Oneness Consciousness is activated when the "We" replaces the separate "I".
Each of us, every culture, and every ethnic group have a unique contribution to make to the world tapestry, and therefore are equally important and relevant. The IEP encourages people to discover what makes them unique -- their core, their unique individuality. The IEP encourages people to follow their passion -- to follow what brings them pure, innocent joy. The IEP encourages people to multiply their talents.
Consciousness is emptiness.
We are all consciousness.
Our natural state is emptiness of the ego.
Self Healing (Self-Transcendence) encompasses:
RECOGNITION
self-observation and self-honesty
ACCEPTANCE AND OPENNESS
compassion, unconditional gratitude for what is
DETACHMENT AND SURRENDER
humility, surrender (unconditional trust in Source), detached awareness, silence, emptiness, to let it be, not-self, no sense of separated, fragmented self
Flavors numb the taste.
Thoughts weaken the mind.
Desires wither the heart.
The Master observes the world
but trusts his inner vision.
He allows things to come and go.
His heart is open as the sky.
Empty your mind of all thoughts.
Let your heart be at peace.
Watch the turmoil of beings,
but contemplate their return. (Tao Te Ching )
Be not the slave of your own past. Plunge into the sublime seas, dive deep and swim far, so you shall come back with self-respect, with new power, with an advanced experience that shall explain and overlook the old.
(Ralph Waldo Emerson)
Man did not weave the web of life _ he is merely a strand in it. Whatever he does to the web, he does to himself. (Chief Seattle, 1854)

Love equally, love always, love unconditionally
Inside every stone is a crystal.
Inside every man and woman is an alchemist.
Inside every apple seed is an apple tree.
Inside every man and woman is a universe of potentialities.

"Everything in the universe is made from the same substance. There is one Life. There is one light. The entire universe is made from Cosmic Fluid. Everything in the Universe is Cosmic Fluid. The entire world of form is made from Cosmic Fluid which is perceived as vibrating within a certain spectrum of frequencies or overlapping vibration densities, overlapping quantum possibilities. Everything is teeming with Life; everything in the world of form is Cosmic Fluid vibrating. Matter is created by the human mind perceptions of Cosmic Fluid vibrating at certain frequencies. The world of form is a trick of the mind -- a mirage, an illusion. Everything in the spiritual realm is Consciousness. Lifting the veil of form (human mind), we realize we are all Consciousness. Beyond the illusion of form Is Spirit -- the formless, undefined, and nameless -- which the human mind in its finiteness cannot comprehend. Consciousness can interact with matter; it can influence quantum particles. The most basic block of reality is therefore Consciousness, which makes all of us co-participants in the expansion of the universe. Everything vibrates -- better dances-- to the rhythm of the heartbeats of the Universe. All is in us. We are in All. All is us. We are All the universe, because we are all interconnected and interrelated. We are all interrelated aspects of Consciousness: The Absolute. " (C. Correa, Heart Speaks)
We're all connected in what may be the most intimate way imaginable: through the field of consciousness that's the incubator for our reality. (Gregg Braden in The Divine Matrix)
"The issue is not the ego-personality per se, but the identification with it. The issue is the attachment to its stories, dramas, and delusions. The problem is the emotions we attach to our narratives; our emotion-charged stories. This is the root cause of all suffering." (Claudia Correa in Heart Speaks)

About
The Power of Humility & Compassion
As within so without... Healing happens within.
In the heart, where you realize you are not the human, conditioned mind...
You are the writer of your life script.
When you quit believing the stories of the conditioned mind...
You can be your own therapist.
You can be your own teacher.
You are so much larger than the dialectical, conditioned mind box! You are an ocean of infinite possibilities and potentialities.
"The need to be right agitates the mind. The need to defend or attack agitates the mind. The natural state of the mind is stillness, calmness, clearness."
(The Path of the Heart)
“Education is not the piling on of learning, information, data, facts, skills, or abilities - that's training or instruction - but is rather making visible what is hidden as a seed.”
(Thomas More)
"To be or not to be, that is the question." (Shakespeare, Hamlet)
"Before criticizing or judging someone, try to walk in their shoes for two minutes." (Unknown)
"You cannot solve problems with the same level of thinking that existed when the problems were created." (Albert Einstein)
The Integral Education Project sponsors the type of education that facilitates mind healing, and therefore mends our relationship with Self (Source) and the world by first and foremost helping make the unconscious conscious. It sponsors education aimed at a personal commitment to self-mastery, self-discovery, sovereignty -- a consciousness shift (from dialectics to Integration) -- one person at a time.The IEP has only one curriculum: to guide people in the process of tuning in with the heart.
The IEP's Gifts to Humanity:
Human beings are reality architects, each one with unique talents.
"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and so is ugliness." (Dr. Correa)
1. The Path of the Heart Teachings:
The path of the heart is the path of self-rediscovery. These are the teachings of the journey back to Heart. The heart is a metaphor for Interconnectedness (ONE-ness/Integral) Consciousness. Nature abides by the path of the heart principles of uniqueness or singularity and interdependency, and she is doing just fine, ever expanding. Format: Seminars, workshops and tele-classes.
2. Heart Talk Therapy:
At the heart talk workshops participants learn (remember) how to tune in to their own hearts, everyone's and everything's heart -- the source of life in everyone and everything. Heart talks are a self-healing and self-exploration experience. Clients and seminar participants learn (remember) how to do heart talk. Heart talks are an opportunity for us to transcend the illusion of separation from source and awaken ourselves to the intelligence of the heart. We are One Heart.
3. Strugglers Anonymous :
Strugglers Anonymous (SA), is a group designed to offer psychological support to those individuals struggling with debt or with little finance resources in financial crises. Compulsive shopping or spending is an addictive and self-destructive behavior that can sabotage growth in all areas of life. SA is initially a 24-week program designed to offer emotional healing and re-empowerment guidance to compulsive shoppers or those deep in debt or with little resources in a financial crisis. To enroll in SA, the candidate first attends the 5-hour introductory seminar “Financial Literacy & Emotional Healing in Financial Crises.” Format: Seminars and weekly group coaching sessions.
The IEP is now offering the SA Coaching Certification.
4. The Parent-Child Wholistic Mentoring:
Many people confuse codependency (bondage, attachment, or infatuation) with love. Attachment -- addiction to people, places and things-- is the root cause for suffering. Genuine love is the practice of detachment. We can only give to others what we bountifully have. To love someone else, we must first love ourselves. To forgive or accept someone else, we must first forgive and accept ourselves. Our beliefs about ourselves are what really matter.
Parent and Child Whole-listic Coaching is designed to help both the parent and child restore self-love and self-acceptance so that they can begin to love and accept each other for what they are, without expectations and conditions. Self-love and self- acceptance is what makes people achieve the impossible. Format: Seminar series.
We are the only person responsible for our own joy or frustrations. Both happiness and sadness are a matter of personal choice. People will only push our buttons or drain us if we choose to allow them to. At the IEP transformational seminars and webminars, people learn how to take charge of their own lives, releasing emotional wounds and limitation beliefs (especially those implanted between the ages 0 and 6). Implanted beliefs keep us on living up to other people's expectations and dreams. When hidden emotional triggers are identified and released and emotions related to painful memories are healed, dramatic changes begin to happen.
The 3-hour Planetary Healing Vigil:
The IEP fellowship meets locally and online on the first Sunday of the month for 3 hours to consciously co-create planetary healing from within. Time: 1:00-3:00 PM California Time. Visit the IEP group section to join this worldwide event.

"Big Bangs happen all the time in an ocean of nothing." (Dr. Michio Kaku, Physics Theorist)
"Spirit is in a state of grace forever.
Your reality is only spirit.
Therefore you are in a state of grace forever."
(A Course in Miracles)
"You are a universe. The cosmos is you. You are a precious part of the universe. The universe is experiencing itself through you. You hold the universe within yourself. Your universe is a field of infinite potentialities. The universe is an echo of your own voice. The universe breathes you. The universe sees itself through your eyes."
(Heart Speaks)
"The path of the heart is not a mechanical process. There are no rituals, no patterns, no standards, no routines, no limitations and boundaries, no rules and regulations, no one-size-fits-all course, no finite belief systems. You are ALL life. And Life is constantly transcending itself. Life is always re-inventing and re-creating itself. The Universe is an ocean of unlimited potentialities. Look at nature, always flowing with the flow of the River of Life. The path of the heart is the path of life itself. It is a creative process, for it is unique for each one of us; it is an individual path. It is the path of ever blossoming, constant consciousness growth and self-transcendence, which is guided not by an outer teacher or guru, a philosophy, or a theology, a rigid belief system, and dogmas, but by Heart, the inner teacher -- in the core of every human being -- for every soul has a unique, divine plan, which only the inner teacher knows. Only the inner teacher can expose all self-created illusions, self-indulgent behaviors and self-absorption.The inner teacher will show us our divine blueprint and spiritual plan." (C. Correa, The Path of the Heart and the Return to Innocence)

"When we are in touch with being whole, we feel at one with everything. When we feel at one with everything, we feel whole ourselves.(...)
When we perceive our intrinsic wholeness, there is truly no place to go and nothing to do."
(Jon Kabat-Zinn)
"The world is made of consciousness. Objects are waves of possibilities. The chooser is free, and from that freedom of choice comes our experience."
(Dr. Amit Goswani)
"It is so vital that we move our point of observation from little me to I am all consciousness. That movement of our point of observation transforms the way we see the world, we see ourselves, and unleashes levels of awareness that we have been denying ourselves by getting caught up in mind." (David Icke in interview with Alex Ansary, 2009)
"The Path of self-transcendence --the path of the heart -- is a pathless path. I doubt that the mind can conceive that -- A pathless path. The path of self-transcendence is pathless because it is synonymous with inner work, inner therapy, inner reform, inner alchemy, inner transformation, inner change. The path of self-transcendence is that of unconditional servitude and surrender to Life -- not to your life but to All Life. There is only one life. There is not such a thing as "my" life, "their" lives, and "your" life. There is one light and therefore there is only one Life. Yet, the path of self-transcendence is an individual path. No one can walk the pathless path for you. There is only one path --the pathless One: The land the human, conditioned mind cannot enter." (Claudia Correa in Heart Speaks)
