Becoming a Visionseeker by Hank Wesselman, PhD

Becoming a Visionseeker calls for our reconnection with the foundation for mystical practice — nature. The life force resides in nature and holds the power for healing ourselves and others.

It’s the foundation we will continually return to as we live our life in service to others — for centeredness, groundedness, power, protection, and support.

In this module, you’ll explore:

• The levels of the Spirit World
• The Middle World of Dream and the afterlife state
• The Helping Spirits perceived as power animals
• How to allow for the power, protection, and support of your Helping Spirits
• Journeywork to discover and reconnect with your personal place of power and healing in the Dreamtime and with your helping spirits

The foundation of spiritual practice through Nature Mysticism brings you inevitably into relationship with your Spirit Teacher and your Spirit Guide — your experience of Deity Mysticism.

Although you may have connections with many spirits of ascended masters, your primary teacher is revealed to be your Higher Self or Spiritual Oversoul, who has sourced you into life after life — and your Spirit Guide is your teacher’s teacher, one of the higher organizing intelligences who serves as your Higher Self’s advisor and caretaker, assigned to you when you came into existence as a soul.

In this module, you’ll:

• Experience a deeper connection with your Higher Self (or Oversoul) as the source of your intuition, inspiration, visions, and dreams
• Explore your unique connection with your Spirit Guide — your master teacher and advisor
• Experience a journey to the Sacred Garden to connect with your Spirit Teacher and Spirit Guide
• Understand the messages these important guides have for you at this time in your life

Many Indigenous cultures, including the Hawaiians, Inuits, Lakota, Cherokee, Nepalese, Voodoo peoples of Haiti, and Shuar of the Amazon, understand that we possess not one, but three distinct souls. We are each a complex of these three soul aspects, and when they are in harmony, our lives flow smoothly. When they are not, there are lessons to be learned.

In this session, you’ll be guided in reviewing the sources and functions of your three souls in creating the Self, and how you can bring them into right relationship. Understanding your three souls and how they function are the keys to understanding who you are AND is at the core of experiencing authentic initiation.

In this module, you’ll:

• Discover your 3 souls — your Spirit Soul, Mental Soul, and Body Soul — and how they’re perceived by the Hawaiian gods
• Explore your 3 souls’ sources: Your Spirit Soul sourced from your Higher Self (Aumakua ), your Body Soul (Ku ) from your mother and father, and your Mental Soul (Lono), which comes into existence through your experience of life
• Discover how your 3 souls function to create the Self in each lifetime
• Discover The Bowl of Light, and the Three Rules we must know as we pass through life on the path as spiritual warriors
• Experience a journey to bring your 3 souls into right relationship

Your foundation supports the structure of your life and determines what is possible. Your connection with Nature, with your helping spirits, and with your Spirit Teachers are all a part of your foundation. What else is the nature of your foundation? This aspect of you cannot be underestimated as it is the bedrock of all aspects of our life.

In this module, you’ll:

• Discover what your foundation is and what can make it vulnerable
• Learn how your foundation is determining YOU, your relationships, and your work in the world
• Explore how your foundation is responding to the life you’ve created, chosen, or settled for
• Discover what foundational stones are, and experience a journey to see if you have them
• Find out if you have foundational stones that are missing
• Discover how when your life changes direction, it is always your foundation that moves first to support you

All of us have had experience with “boundary busters” — yet perhaps you don’t realize in the moment how many “levels” of your boundaries are being busted. Many traditions reveal that we actually have three boundaries: the interface or place where we meet the other; the place where we admit others into our company; and the place where we step out into the world to be of service.

For practitioners, healers, and seekers on the path, the question is: How can I be of service to others, and myself, without violating their (or my) boundaries?

In this module, you’ll:

• Journey to explore your Inner boundary, which delineates your Holy of Holies — that inner core within that is just for you
• Journey to your Middle boundary, where you practice discernment and the dance of the heart. Who do you invite into this middle layer?
• Journey to explore your Outer boundary, where you extend from to meet the world
• Learn about the nature of your boundaries from shamanic teacher Jill Kuykendall
• Journey to explore the spiritual nature of your boundaries

In this important session, you’ll connect with your Spirit Teacher and Spirit Guide to gather knowledge about your birthrights. We all came into this world with birthrights as well as birth responsibilities, which we all share.

For example, we all have the birthright to love and be loved. Understanding what our birthrights are, as well as what our birth responsibilities are, gives us freedom to discard what we are not responsible for — and draws us into connection with those we have chosen.

In this module, you’ll:

• Discover the the birthrights that we all share
• Learn how to do a birthright healing
• Journey to your Spirit Teacher to learn about your birthrights, and about birthright healings
• Explore your birth responsibilities, including conscience, humility, reverence, and discipline, and their part in your creation of ethical behavior

The Ancestral Grand Plan is as much of the Divine Purpose that can be brought into expression upon this planet at any one time. This plan was set in motion by the ancestors millennia ago, and the one thing that humanity needs today is the realization that there IS an Ancestral Grand Plan that is definitely working itself out through all the world’s happenings. It is also working itself out through all that has happened in humanity’s past. We’ll explore the plan and what your part in it might be.

In this module, you’ll:

• Learn about the Ancestral Grand Plan from Hawaiian Kahuna Elder Hale Makua
• Discover the two initial goals of the plan
• Learn the three levels of the plan that were set in motion by the ancestors long ago
• Discover your place in the plan
• Journey to a place of recognition to clarify and refine your place in the plan

The shaman is a master of escaping the mind-body matrix that characterizes ordinary consciousness, and entering the shamanic state of non-ordinary consciousness.

Many of us on the mystic path experience merging with spirits and/or shapeshifting into something else to achieve beneficial outcomes for ourselves and for our clients. In this session, you’ll experience merging and connecting with a master shapeshifter for guidance and support in shamanic practice.

In this module, you’ll:

• Explore what shapeshifting is
• Discover the difference between shapeshifting and merging
• Discover what journeywork and shapeshifting have in common, as well as how they’re different
• Journey to a master shapeshifter for guidance
• Discover who the shapeshifter is and what this discovery holds for you

Experience an imaginal canoe journey with your fellow course participants, with an altar at the center and a navigator at the helm as you time travel to meet our Star Ancestors to make a special offering to those who brought us here to this beautiful world.

In this module, you’ll:

• Discover Makua’s story of how we came here as souls from the stars, accompanied by high guardians
• Experience a journey to create a gift for the Star Beings in our garden
• Experience the Spirit Canoe Journey to meet our Star Ancestors, traveling through the river of stars to offer a gift
• Receive a gift in return from the Star Ancestors

Once again, you’ll board the imaginal Spirit Canoe to journey with your fellow course participants. This time, you’ll travel to the future to experience yourself as an ancestor in service to the seventh generation.

In this module, you’ll:

• Help set intentions for the Spirit Canoe Journey and embark on an imaginal voyage to travel 200 years into the future
• Experience this time-traveling journey alone and as a group
• Have the opportunity to spot a descendant self during the Spirit Canoe Journey

• Discover how you can be of service to a descendant

The Kahuna Makua was fond of observing that there are seven major roles through which we can experience life: the servant, artist, warrior, scholar, sage, priest/priestess/healer, and chief.

Each has a positive and a negative expression, all of which provide value in unearthing the ancient wisdom of the Kahuna mystics — and all of which are useful in our exploration of the Self.

In this module, you’ll:

• Journey to discover your primary and secondary life roles
• Discover the positive and negative polarities of each role
• Journey to your Inner Chief to discover who he/she is and his/her function in your life
• Discover a symbol for your Inner Chief
• Find out how “your garden” — your perceptions and experience here on earth — respond when you place the symbol within it

The Polynesians know that your teacher, Aumakua or oversoul, can be the source of all the healing energy you might need in each lifetime. All of us have issues — physical, emotional, or spiritual challenges — that distort our character.

This session, you’ll turn your attention to your issues or distortions in need of healing and ask your Higher Self to be of service.

In this module, you’ll:

• Experience a personal healing journey in your sacred garden provided by your Oversoul
• Learn how to make this journey for your personal healing at anytime or in any place
• Invite your Higher Self to hover above in your sacred garden and extract an issue or distortion you no longer wish to carry
• Learn to receive the healing breath of power from your Oversoul, perceived as a blue light and followed by the green light of physical restoration
• Experience the unconditional love inherent in the “breath of power”

More information about Self Help:

Self-help or self-improvement is a self-guided improvement—economically, intellectually, or emotionally—often with a substantial psychological basis.
Many different self-help group programs exist, each with its own focus, techniques, associated beliefs, proponents and in some cases, leaders.
Concepts and terms originating in self-help culture and Twelve-Step culture, such as recovery, dysfunctional families, and codependency have become firmly integrated in mainstream language.

Self-help often utilizes publicly available information or support groups, on the Internet as well as in person, where people in similar situations join together.
From early examples in self-driven legal practice and home-spun advice, the connotations of the word have spread and often apply particularly to education, business,
psychology and psychotherapy, commonly distributed through the popular genre of self-help books.
According to the APA Dictionary of Psychology, potential benefits of self-help groups that professionals may not be able to provide include friendship,
emotional support, experiential knowledge, identity, meaningful roles, and a sense of belonging.
