Transpersonal Psychology: How To Speak With Your Own Soul In Solitude - Inner Work Library [160/500]

[@jordanthornton]

*1-1 Mentorship Information: Price & Structure (Maximum Capacity = 20 Clients Per Year)* It's an absolute pleasure to film these KZbin videos, and I feel fortunate to receive an abundance of meaningful messages every week, but I am unfortunately faced with the disappointing reality of turning away the vast majority of people who want to work together. I have significantly limited availability and can only support twenty people per year because I do not offer one-off calls or drop-in consulting sessions. Twenty individuals might not sound like maximum capacity, but the last few years of teaching have taught me the importance of maintaining tight energetic boundaries if I want to keep uploading these free videos in addition to serving my current clients to the best of my ability in 2024. To minimise confusion and enhance transparency, I've spent several hours writing this ridiculously long comment to help you decide if my Inner Work Mentorship is the right choice for your development & what you could reasonably expect from working closely together. Please take the time to read this service description before contacting me on Instagram… or feel free to stop reading right now if you’re not interested in my fees, session structure, client expectations, etc. ... *READ BEFORE SCROLLING FURTHER:* I'm interested in long-term change and structural transformation, which is why I've never offered one-off sessions. Complex issues cannot be resolved in a few hours, but we likewise need to define an upper limit for containment and collaboration. I've learned that deep and enduring self-integration requires at least four months of immersive effort. Why four months? It's enough weekly contact for us to work through multiple complex issues and developmental possibilities, but short enough to mitigate against unconscious co-dependency and motivational stagnation. I'm currently accepting a maximum of two new clients per month - message me after reading the following section to check my availability. ... *HOW I WORK & WHO I WORK WITH* Unlike other coaches and teachers who take an understandably more relaxed approach to healing and integration, my mentorships are characteristically intense. This is a highly-demanding, high-investment process which requires our consistent combined effort over a period of four months. If we were to start working together, I would reasonably expect you to be excited to show up for a minimum of 10+ hours of self-motivated transformative practice per week (daily reading, fitness routine, creative exercises, spiritual reflection, etc.) while also maintaining full-sobriety (no drink, no drugs, no cigarettes, no vapes). These strict standards of discipline and sobriety are plainly unsuitable for most people in most situations - even genuinely motivated individuals who resonate with my KZbin videos may not be the right match for four months of structured mentorship. If you want to get deeper, I've noticed that there's a certain type of ‘temperament' & 'timing’ to get the most out of me. I'm interested in alert, creative and purpose-driven individuals who aspire to exceptional standards of self-maturation and would enjoy the feeling of going through week-on-week of progressively stacked transformative experiences for a third of a year: my ideal client is somebody who is willing to bring forward their internal complexity with a sense of courage and transparency with the intention of nothing less than full-spectrum transformation & rapid acceleration on their personal path. I am yet to discover another supportive figure who offers something comparable to this mentorship: a four-month, structured yet flexible 1-1 container which is simultaneously therapeutic, academic and action-oriented; with primary focus placed on tangible improvements in your felt sense of self-knowledge and self-integration; in addition to making consistent and meaningful progress towards your unique goals and mentorship aspirations. I prioritise contact, compassion and accountability, which means that your work never really 'ends' at the end of your session. You can reasonably expect to be fed dozens of customised reading suggestions and follow-on perspectives outside of the formal sessions via friendly and informal messenger contact, where I am active and available four days per week to cultivate an intimate personal connection while likewise enhancing your positive momentum via accountability check-ins and additional support as required. By way of conclusion for what feels like an extraordinarily long comment and service description, I feel compelled to once more emphasise that working directly with me is unrealistic for most people in most situations. I often support people who are accustomed to wrestling with the emotional challenges associated with working through complex wounds in previous therapeutic relationships before we begin our coaching work together. Even individuals without 'hard trauma' can expect moments of pressurised darkness and heaviness during periods of shadow contact as you begin to restructure your personal unconscious. We will be exploring your psyche and soma at scale and depth, and it will be your responsibility to keep me informed about the emotional texture of your internal reality, especially if you encounter negatively charged experiences, and I will of course do everything in my power to support you through the hard times as we integrate the darkness and move forwards together. KZbin is a wonderful place for me to share free research resources and offer accessible inner work invitations; my private mentorships, however, are the place for collaborative partnership and emotional security as we identify, navigate and restructure oftentimes confronting and challenging conscious and unconscious physical, emotional and mental material. Ultimately, this is a highly-demanding but highly-rewarding process which requires the best of our shared intentions. ... *SESSION STRUCTURE & FEES:* The total fee for an Inner Work Mentorship (including 12 x 2 hr sessions) is £7,400 GBP or approximately $9,400 USD. This is my only coaching programme, and my mentorship pricing is liable to adjustment over time. Each private session lasts two hours, and is facilitated via Telegram video call at an ideal time for both of us. Your mentorship extends over a linear four-month period, with a total of twenty-four hours of structured session time, in addition to four days per week of unlimited messenger availability for accountability updates, voice note exchanges and informal calls upon occasion. I do not work on Mondays, Tuesdays or Wednesdays, but I am fully-available across all timezones for regular calls and messenger contact on Thursday - Sunday. If you’ve scrolled this far, and resonate with what I’m offering, I invite you to message me on Instagram. It would be my pleasure to start exploring your goals and intentions in real-time. IMPORTANT: I am an intentionally independent coach, and not a licensed therapist or associated with any professional bodies or coaching institutions, and therefore enjoy the freedom to collaborate with my clients across all areas of life in an intimate, direct and highly involved coaching style. I work with no more than twenty people per year, and am currently accepting a maximum of two new clients per month. I also manage my own inbox and do not use automated systems or employ people to pretend to be me on Instagram, which means that it usually takes four to six weeks for me to respond to new messages and begin the interview process. Although my approach takes time, I hope you ultimately appreciate my personal emphasis on authentic and confidential communication from the very beginning of our relationship. I once again encourage you to message me immediately if you want to start working together within the next two months - bump yourself to the top of my inbox, and I’ll send you some voice notes to get our conversation started.

I was once deep in a meditation and feeling confused about what I was hearing and sensing. I asked, “how do I know the difference between my active imagination and the voice of God?” … the answer I received was “what if there isn’t a difference? Does there need to be a difference?” 🤯

Jordan, I've been following you for a few years. You've been a wonderful companion on my healing journey. You've certainly helped me feel less lonely some days on my beautiful journey of aloneness. This isn't much but it's a token of my gratitude. Much thanks my friend.

[@jordanthornton]

Only just now seeing this comment as one of my final responses for the week, thank you for this token of gratitude after being here for as long as you have. I’ve enjoyed hearing about your perspectives, and will keep doing my best to keep these conversations flowing 🌲 Thanks again, I’ll put this towards the next book ✌🏻

[@wojciech8382]

"I don't know either" - when you said that I immediately felt the impulse "this is the way". Currently, I'm in the phase of my journey where I put 80% of my focus on learning the basics of psychology and neuroscience to understand how the "beast machine" operates. Remaining 20% I'm putting into the spiritual teachings to not lose the purpose and stay motivated. I want to combine the scientific and spiritual words in order to progress. Thank you for making my life easier by picking out the gems of spiritual books!

[@jordanthornton]

I know the exact stage you're at, and it's truly worthwhile. Learning the "beast machine" as foundation and then continuing with the etheric work as the sensible next stage. You can stay in contact with the spiritual path, but rooting into material practicality is a very wise move. Be well this month.

[@MsIris18]

You should offer a paid option to your channel. Your content is so valuable!

[@jordanthornton]

Perhaps, but I like keep this space free for all (my course, the shadow work library, is the place where people can spend some money to go much deeper if they choose) - finding that accessibility balance!

[@seankerr9158]

Thank you so much for this video, Jordan. It’s proved a real turning point for me. I’ve been trying to connect more and more with soul, every day since seeing it. Every day it flows in a little more easily, a little more profoundly. What a beautiful unfolding. Thank you for putting this out there 🙏✌️

[@jordanthornton]

Meaningful and sincere path of authenticity here, thank you for taking the time to go deeper and further. Wishing you well this month.

[@mel-tp5hi]

20:20 "and final book that I haven't mentioned on this channel" .... don't mind me, but actually you have already meantioned "Psyche's Veil" Jordan, I remember you first recommending it in you "Inner Work Essentials" playlist (Chaos Theory & Inner Work: The Complex Intersection of Science, Trauma & Spirituality [46/52], so I went and bought it and read it. 😊

[@seankerr9158]

Mesmerizing and inspiring message, Jordan. I’ve spent the past few years developing an analogous relationship with my guardian angel (the soul’s syzygy). This is a beautiful reminder that that kind of relationship can be developed with the soul itself, too. Thank you. (And for your part, don’t neglect your guardian angel! It might have some valuable yin to add to your yang!)

[@elsalleshaj]

So thankful for this content, thank you!

[@medicinalmovementwithalison]

Thanks again, Jordan. Also hooray for Deja vu ⚡️

[@bloomingrace]

Wonderful video. I recommend Shine Forth: The Soul's Magical Destiny and Supernal Light - both written by William A. Meader (Theosophy).

[@jordanthornton]

Love this recommendation, I remember watching Meader's astrology talks a few years back. I'll check his books out too - thank you, appreciate the bridge!

[@roadopener]

Thank you Jordan you’re awesome

[@jordanthornton]

Cheers brother. I know this won’t be a very popular video, but nonetheless appreciate people like yourself who want that true soul depth. We’ve got so much left to discover 🌲

[@anipapikyan]

I just love this kind of content ❤ Thanks for another great video and sharing a valuable information. I even remembered my own experience of asking my soul’s protection when I needed it the most and even feeling holding its hand in mine when I asked for it to be there for me and guide me. I understand that this type of content isn’t mainstream and it might not have enough views but please know that it’s important and valuable, and you’re doing a great job sharing it. I’m looking forward to seeing more of these videos. It’s also funny how you talked about the initiation when I just got mine. Have a nice week ☀️

[@jordanthornton]

Powerful and inspiring words here, and sensitively phrased too. I'm glad that you feel the soul presence in important moments... a gift to be cherished.

[@Heal-the-world369]

Thankyou so VERY much 👍☀️

[@jordanthornton]

You are truly welcome - wishing you well with your soul embodiment journey this year 🌲

[@TheBackPackingPsychonaut]

Commenting for the algorithm 🫡 Another ace video again Jordan, keep doing your thing mate 💪

[@TheBackPackingPsychonaut]

Had to re comment as I watched the video for a second time. Did you ever have problems not trusting the advice that you get from your soul? I’ve had numerous experience in the past year where I have felt like the soul is directly telling me what to do, in feeling and in language, very direct in the sense that it feels like the truth. However, part of me has been disregarding the advice, I think out of fear, but I’m rationalising myself out of trusting it because the advice it’s telling me aligns with advice other people have gave me so I’m unsure if it’s a part of me that’s been influenced or created by the perceptions of others or if it’s directly my soul. Hope that makes sense, this is the first time I’ve heard anyone articulate this phenomena and it’s gave me a kick up the ass haha. Love when you talk about transpersonal psychology Jordan, been really diving deep into it this year so it’s always welcoming to hear you takes 👌

[@jordanthornton]

Yes, it's absolutely been a struggle to properly discern between soul-as-soul and ego-as-soul-persona talk. I still don't get it right every time, but it's perhaps 80% accurate at this stage. Maintaining a habit of daily meditation really helps, and so did spending a significant amount of time with mystical literature - at least six month of daily reading.

[@reflect-ions888]

This was me today!! I read your post last night before bed. Thank you for reminding me that I was forgetting how to laugh 🤪 I need to come out of hermit mode more often 🐛🦋🐛🦋🐛🦋 I think too much!! Also, I love all that hippy stuff! 😝

[@jordanthornton]

Cheers to finding that right balance between public and private this month!

[@reflect-ions888]

Yes, Sir! 🫡 is already on my calendar (I feel so proud of myself lol) 🤩

[@clemfitz2995]

Loved this one! Cleared many clouds of confusion. It was a puzzle for long to understand those distinctions for myself. Had the 3 books already on reading list (including Psyche's Veil which you actually mentioned on this channel before haha) but I have yet to read any as I left much of the transpersonal litterature for the end. Looking forward to that last one from Washburn after I go through his previous works! I have gotten introduced to Washburn recently with reading Psychotherapy and Spirit, and I can't wait to dive deeper. Keep going Brother! That was a much needed and meaningful video!

[@jordanthornton]

I forgot I had mentioned Psyche's Veil, good memory - although I'm not surprised you picked up the quantum psychology invitation haha! Saving the transpersonal for the end of the spiral is wise, and it's why I structured the shadow work library in the same way - no perfect order, but material grounding and trauma clearing is certainly the best stage to prioritise at the start. Good to hear form you brother.

[@clemfitz2995]

​@@jordanthornton With each great book and idea read and integrated, my world expands with joy, knowledge and peace. I will be forever grateful for your recommendations. Besides, somebody gotta keep track right? 😂

[@clemfitz2995]

[@clemfitz2995]

Agree with the logic of the order. And the notion that there is no perfect order. Thanks, I'm looking forward to going back to the shadow work library with intention, willpower and courage, once I have read more of the material.

[@jordanthornton]

@@clemfitz2995 Haha, love that recall of a two year old video. Great detective work, forgot it was one of the 52. Crazy to see how much my camera confidence has grown - so quiet in that video, good testament to bioenergetics to feel like myself in front of a lens these days lol

[@mel-tp5hi]

22:56 "the cuddle puddle of God"! 🤣

[@Ivy-o6p]

Have you had many spiritual experiences, Jordan? Is it easy for you to find people you connect with at your level? Last video and i am off the internet 😅. I'm happy you can answer deep questions.

[@jordanthornton]

Sure, plenty. Check out episode 153/500, some stories in there.

[@edwardmadden1998]

Such an excellent video Jordan! Exactly the kind of message I needed on a Sunday night. You managed to articulate complex ideas so well giving a very holistic yet practical path to follow. The first 2 books were already on the reading list, have added the 3rd and I will get into these concepts more when I have gone through more trauma work, daily embodied practice, and general healing of my health. Cheers brother ✌️

[@jordanthornton]

Champion consistency on the path my man - thanks for appreciating the effort that went into this video, tried to do as much as I could within 30 minutes! You’ll love the books when the timing is right, and it’s good that you have a sense of this timing too 🌲

[@BabyYadav-rn9hs]

Suggest some best books for better mindset

[@jordanthornton]

There’s three in this video, and they’ll land deep if you give them the time and focus. Wishing you well 🌲

[@BabyYadav-rn9hs]

@@jordanthornton love your voice 🇮🇳

[@MeghanaNS-uy9ed]

What about hallucinations?

[@jordanthornton]

An important area of study, and worthy of more videos in themselves. Wishing you well for the month ahead.

[@nicoleta1882]

I was also thinking about it / can we tame the hallucinations if we tend to them gently, as if it’s our own fragmented soul who needs guidance. I haven’t suffered from hallucinations but I am aware they can be distraught and dreadful to have

[@jakubsebo4236]

I was thinking of a fast even without water and I looked it up and it scared me away. I dont think its safe and would definitely not advise doing that as an influencer with thousands of followers.

[@jordanthornton]

I completely agree, and I completed at least 20 regular fasts before taking away water. It’s not something to be taken casually, and I try to be cautious with recommending things. You’re right, it’s a sensitive experience to navigate.
