Introduction

Writing about healing in these complex, enigmatic, and troublesome times is challenging. Today’s dismal and often chaotic-looking circumstances are the ground for negative projections. One cannot help but wonder and worry about where it all will lead. The reason for wise decisions becomes apparent in the reality of changing times. This is reflected in the book title The Why In The Road, which signifies both the crucial crossroads to be faced in the process as well as the reason for the crossroads. It calls attention to the past decisions, present choices, and imminent consequences we are given a chance to ponder.

In addition to supplying the reader with a constructive outlook, this volume contributes spiritual material in a basic formation. The way the material is presented here allows the development of cognitive self-help skills in the area of spiritual and psychological understanding. The ability to fearlessly scrutinize and integrate the dark side of life facilitates deeper insights. There is no light without a shadow, and without conscious knowledge of the shadow there can be no true growth in life.

Evolutionary healing describes the change in human consciousness occurring on our planet now. It supplies an entirely new viewpoint based on the present, which includes an understanding of the past and to a certain degree also of the future. It is first concerned with the origins of a global and time-specific imbalance, and with the description and analysis of the resulting psychological and alchemical dysfunctions. Then it points a way out, and finally it supports and coaches those who desire to move beyond.

Anyone who is interested in healing, self-improvement, and personal development can use this practical perspective. When principles make rational and intuitive sense, when they speak to us on a gut and heart level, and when we find them reflected in our environment, we tend to grow with them. Over time they guide us in the direction most beneficial for us. Since in essence evolutionary healing is vast, culturally complex, deeply psychological, and spiritual, it may take time to become really graspable. Once assimilated, it fits smoothly into the personal toolbox of life skills.

Although not an in-depth study of history, psychology, anatomy and physiology, metaphysics, or astrology, the material originates from myriad sources. The outcome resembles a collage that creates a new picture, while using already-existing images. The intention in examining and expanding the perception and understanding of our time is to provide an overview of the bigger picture within the process of becoming (evolution). Thus the tension of past and future as experienced in the present can be understood from a truly revolutionary and empowering perspective.

The first part of the book establishes the foundation from an alchemical point of view. It supplies a cosmology of existence while exploring the interplay of spirit and matter from the perspective of reincarnation and the human soul. As one of the laws of the physical, astral, and causal planes, evolution is put into the context of the soul’s motion from matter to spirit. The internal and external battles inherent in this process are seen within the world of complementary opposites.

The second part of the book deals with world cycles that explore human consciousness within a 26,000-year period of spiritual ascension and materialistic decline. Thus, we can comprehend the tension of past and future as experienced in the present in an unprecedented context. As much as healing is in the wound, we need to first examine this wound. In evolutionary healing the phenomenon of suffering is seen in its range from psychospiritual pathology to an inherent condition. Although suffering is a natural part of the human condition, unnecessary suffering is a disease that urgently needs a cure.

The third part of the book comprises an outlook on the future, and clearly describes the “Y” in the road that we face. If we can embrace the necessary changes, choosing the right fork in the road will bring gradual improvement. If not, cataclysmic change is unavoidable. Through metamorphosing our limitations, a shift in awareness takes place from adapted man-made paradigms toward natural principles. The essence of evolutionary healing is in the understanding of life as a supernatural mechanism moving from separation and diversity to attraction, unity, and oneness. In the final analysis it views healing as the refining motion from doubt to faith, matter to spirit, and involution or stagnation to evolution.

Even though historical facts and material from various sources are utilized in this writing, the emphasis is on a larger perspective. The boundaries are clear, but they do belong to a metaphysical framework. They set the tone for an interaction of the tangible and the elusive. Assimilation of the larger perspective to which this writing is dedicated takes some patience, an open mind, as well as reflection and observation.

In life and in healing, it is often not enough to analyze the various parts. Concentration on the whole is also needed to gain useful answers and definite direction. The practice of seeing, understanding, and consciously living life not only requires intelligence, but also a feeling of one’s unfolding inner wisdom. Therefore, you are encouraged to let both your brain as well as your heart engage in this reading experience. The challenge lies in penetrating with the mental gaze beyond any preconceived notion and model. In bridging the distance between head and heart we receive the tools to know ourselves. They give us the strength to fight with fearlessness the battle of life and truth that is always worth fighting for. What could be more rewarding and useful?

Why are we here, why are the present circumstances so disheartening on a global level, what are our lessons, and how can we best deal with the challenges we face in our lives? These are some of the questions this book is trying to answer in a different way. Because the material is revolutionary, it is also challenging. It may very well metamorphose some of your own cognitive limitations relative to evolution, healing, and answers to some of the above questions.
