Radical Humanism and Re-Mything: Honoring Experiencers of Extreme States as the Carriers of Wisdom for Consciousness Evolution and Collective Transformation

Abstract

As transmitters of the New Paradigm and psychospiritual templates that the planet needs in this time of transformation, extreme-state experiencers are the key to our evolution, and thus we need to honor them as such. Radical humanism is an expansion and deepening of our empathy, a call-to-action, and a way of telling the story differently. We are asked as therapists to be nothing less than liaisons to the oracular. We look to Jung, Laing, Rogers, and contemporary lineage holders in these synergistic and co-catalytic ways of holding and working with extreme states to shine light upon the potent and often misunderstood or pathologized realms of the chaotic and ecstatic, the devastating, blissful, and the overwhelming contact with the gnosis, beings, and energies that lie therein. We carry forth the work in our sessions that are part confessional, part energy transmission, and always opportunities for us to expand what we think we know about what is happening and how we feel about ourselves, these times, and our role in healing on all levels that is being offered in each moment that we are in our role as Sacred Witness and midwife to soul rebirth.
