• question what does it need what does this what does the soulmaking need what does so to speak health need
• if you like desire or tendency of the soulmaking dynamic of the era psychologos movement as we said it wants

Image, Ethics, and Awakening (Q & A) - (Roots into the Ground of Soul) 17 mentions

• there will be a diner talk and on our soulmaking retreats marcus then it's just a fabulous job of
• what happens um to the precepts as the soulmaking dharma goes deeper or or we should say
• this what happens to one's relationship with ethics as the soulmaking dharma goes deeper
• i would when i first started um talking about soulmaking dom it wasn't i didn't even thought of that word back then but
• whether we have even heard the word imaginal or soulmaking so that um oftentimes the image that the
• operating do you understand so what happens when we do soulmaking dharma everything gets stretched the
• feels a little something so soulmaking i would say has um if you like it becomes the foundation of ethics
• beginning it will become so it must just because of the how the soulmaking dynamic works it will it will pull these
• for ritual or a need for it in soulmaking practice and if so where does it fit
• rituals is um from a soulmaking perspective is that uh uh they start to what's
• my energy body was very alive and it felt soulmaking really i'm very curious about what seeing others and self as
• and then therefore not quite trusting the soulmaking practice and one's own capacity to sort of tolerate eros to be
• regarding it's not me not mine and then there's the possibility of a soulmaking an imaginal view which views this desire
• well i'm not sure that we want to allow you to run another soulmaking retreat so i feel ultra sensitive to the various
• such as jungle hillman nature do you think that soulmaking dharma offers a smoother or safer path
• what matters is the feeling of it and the sense of soulmaking continues this image became like a holy
• kind of disturbing the natural soulmaking sort of fermentation that's happening there yeah

Aspects of the Imaginal (Part 4) - (The Mirrored Gates) 17 mentions

• um with the soulmaking and the imaginal perceptions that involve each other and
• second one was just the fact of giving rise to soulmaking the sense of soulfulness and soulmaking happening so
• rise to soulmaking the sense of soulfulness and soulmaking happening so soulfulness as an experience as another
• limits uh and contracts the possibility for soulmaking eros is more of an opening and and it opens all the
• and grace if they are involved in soulmaking an imaginal practice as as i'm saying
• um when they're involved with soulmaking they will themselves
• get caught up as objects of the soulmaking dynamic of the era psychologus dynamic
• and then it comes alive as an object of soulmaking the era psychologous dynamic goes to work on that that object itself
• busted open it gets worked deep and widened etc by the soulmaking dynamic the very center that
• experienced as by us like the rest of the soulmaking diamonds potentially infinite its range
• so like everything else in imaginal work and soulmaking work we make delineations but those delineations that
• superficial conventional objections and fears there's a sense of the soulmaking and the resonances and the
• constellation um or and indeed of any soulmaking experience a sense of duty and that the
• um object the imaginal figure and indeed of any soulmaking experience so even for instance when
• um what's happening as to constitute a soulmaking experience is not so much an image but just an idea or a framework
• janna that's relatively new but when it feels soulmaking somehow and often vaguely often vaguely we feel
• there's no obvious image involved when there's soulmaking involved and anyways more some it's different with imaginal

• getting uh embroiled involved or worked on in in the soulmaking dynamic in the imaginal process
• is how soul grows soulmaking is being impressed upon sense of soulfulness is is to be
• um uh kind of premise or maxim the soul wants soulmaking the soul love soul making
• or one genius or whatever um in the soulmaking dharma there's not necessarily just one so going back to
• um certainly liberating process but maybe even soulmaking process um feeling uh one's frustration one's
• image yourself becoming imaginal uh a soulful sense of self soulmaking sense of self there is
• dimensionalize it etc and allow it to become more imaginable soulmaking then there's also the possibility of uh

• understanding emptiness liberation love or soulmaking those deliverances will also open us to
• emptiness understanding liberation love song making dynamic soulmaking general and then we let that opening that the
• moment on what reduces suffering and soulmaking dharma our choice is based on what opens up the soulmaking
• and soulmaking dharma our choice is based on what opens up the soulmaking suffering if we're basing it on

• happen in its own time if we a lot about the soulmaking work is a kind of um
• of expansion and fertilization of fermentation of the soulmaking process um is being prevented by certain ideas
• the image has changed yeah and but the soulmaking is still there and the beauty is still there and and that's
• um the question really is whether the filigree itself feels soulmaking or feels like a a relevant a soulfully
• navigate towards is what feels what feels soulful and soulmaking everything else is kind of
• example now it might be that seeing those hairs is soulmaking for whatever reason but it might just be yeah okay
• you have to kind of gauge what feels soulmaking anytime and that's where the that's what you kind of want to
• would you say such images have less soulmaking potential how to work skillfully with the
• this you know the compass of what feels soulmaking it feels like oh if i get too much more into the narrative that's
• where the nectar is this is where the soulmaking nectar is and i hover with that yeah
• of self gets caught up in the soulmaking dynamic and other times it shrinks and
• with this ways of igniting certain nodes that keep the tunis and soulmaking with that specific beloved other alive and
• um and i can sense my apprehension but there's also something soulmaking in it and and

The Imaginal-Energy Body (Q & A) - (Roots into the Ground of Soul) 17 mentions

• um you know a lot of you will be used to or somewhat used to these soulmaking uh retreats and the kind of the uh culture
• so precious this uh the sangha a lot of soulmaking happens in relation not just verbal relation
• practice or informal practice or soulmaking practice in life it's not just because you want to say hi or hang
• certain range of experience now we're doing soulmaking practice we keep all that as possibility and we add
• making yeah so tuned how well tuned in a helpful way either soulmaking or helpful in terms of letting go etc
• the era psychologus dynamic which will leave for another day but soulmaking dynamic stretches things so it will
• so so there's something inherent in the soulmaking dynamic that will eventually if we let it do its work
• if the other is an event or an image oh this is soulmaking it's part of what i how i get the sense that i'm on the
• is this just an epi phenomenon or can i use it for soulmaking even if it is just an epi phenomenon
• can i use it for cell making you can use it for soulmaking do you have to not necessarily but it's possible exactly
• and you say oh it has nothing to do with soul but no because soul in soulmaking we don't reduce to one causal
• um and and you can follow your sense of soulmaking and allow it allow soul to be made through this probably some
• there is not the possibility of a a real fecundity and richness of soulmaking image
• talked about on other retreats in meditation is soulmaking practice energy body plus the presence of the
• anything would you consider the soulmaking practice could you elaborate please
• i think with going back to everything we've said about soulmaking it's like keep it open so whatever you know and
• move towards or move into jannah absorption within a soulmaking framework

• that aspect somehow i want a conceptual framework that supports soulmaking then the logos that we have but whatever it
• live how i relate to life it's supportive of soulmaking um the idea of discrepancy based
• bit of letting go or something but it's so its potential as a soulmaking supporting logos is very very limited
• um the whole iroky logos dynamic the whole movement of soulmaking no potential of soulmaking
• whole movement of soulmaking no potential of soulmaking you know because
• um supports soulmaking an open soulmaking support and open and support the opening
• support and open and support the opening of soulmaking and also that allow the increase

• at it that makes it alive for them their soulmaking going on in scholarship and involves fantasy
