Terry Patten – Awakening Your Revolutionary Heart
Activate a Wellspring of Personal and Political Empowerment by Accessing the Hidden Capacities of Your Heart, the Perceptive Powers of Your Mind, and the Indomitable Strength of Your Spirit.
Would you like to infuse your life with wisdom, authenticity and a purpose greater than yourself?
Would you like to positively affect the world in an evolutionary way?
You’re not alone.
Concerned and committed people are rising up around the world, awakening to the necessity of growing spiritually AND increasing their capacity for effective public engagement.
This love revolution is taking many forms, from sacred activism to conscious business, all with an aim to manifest lasting cultural, political and personal change.
Becoming a love revolutionary means, first and foremost, awakening your revolutionary heart — which is a profound matter!
Our nervous systems are programmed for self-preservation when faced with danger or trouble, which means we need to contact a deeper identity and logic that can naturally source our consciousness, choices and actions in love, even during one of the most perplexing, challenging times in history.
Of course, we need to grieve for what has been lost, face the shock of the ugliness that has taken its place, and metabolize all the pain and despair we’ve experienced. That’s no minor task! But it’s the deep work through which we can prepare ourselves for a whole new relationship to life.
The Heart’s Deeper Intelligence
Virtually all of us on a spiritual path have been deeply moved by the unconditional love displayed by history’s greatest saints and sages, who almost universally are depicted as masters of the heart.
The awakened heart’s essential expression — unconditional, sacred love — is what we all most deeply appreciate, are most attracted to, and aspire to embody. It’s the sign of true spiritual maturity.
Science is increasingly confirming our spiritual traditions, showing us that there’s something akin to a brain within the human heart. Our heart’s deeper intelligence is real — and VERY important for our health, our relationships and our work.
In fact, an awakened heart is the most important bridge between the personal and the political — the wellspring from which a better life flows, giving us the capacity to meet difficult circumstances with clarity, compassion and transformative power.
Threats such as tyranny, climate change and social upheaval may be upsetting, but they can also be powerful catalysts for transformation. Especially when we relate to them with a revolutionary heart.
The truth is that both our culture and our planet are precariously vulnerable. We are being called to shift into this higher octave of our potential because the stakes have never been higher.
Your despair, outrage and concern are a sign of your care. That care expresses your soul’s depth. It is a sign that you are ripe to awaken a level deeper — and to start living your revolutionary heart.
That same despair and outrage, lived unconsciously, however, can be toxic. It can not only undermine your happiness, wellbeing and efficacy, it can infect your mind and behavior such that you become an unconscious agent of the very energies you wish to be free from.
It’s time to turn your upset into inspiration, despair into trust, and hopelessness into fierce resolve.
Ultimately, this journey is about contacting the “soul force” inside you — the same force that has animated some of history’s greatest heroes — to work for what is noble and right and good, and leave this planet a better place for generations to come.
Basic mindfulness practice might provide a respite of equanimity, but it’s not going to call forth the kind of soul force that is now required.
More powerful spiritual practices are required to give us the heart-force to stand in our freedom, truth and love — even when dark forces are descending and casting shadows on our future.
Summoning that kind of soul power is at the heart of how major change movements in history have, often against seemingly insurmountable odds, created lasting change and cultural advancement.
Transforming Your Relationship to Life Challenges
So how do we move beyond unproductive cycles of reactivity and reframe the perilous situations we’re experiencing as opportunities to grow and expand our capacity to create positive change?
We need to transform our relationship to these circumstances so we can recognize our challenges as opportunities we can embrace with clarity, love and joy (yes, joy!).
There’s real urgency for us to awaken to this next level of consciousness and take positive actions to help our families, communities and countries navigate the dark territory that seems to lie ahead.
As you discover your very ground by awakening your heart intelligence, you become fully engaged in a way that attracts more grace, clarity and freedom.
You can then authentically and passionately serve the evolution of the whole… and emerge feeling lighter, freer and more empowered.
The Path of the Revolutionary Heart
During the Awakening the Revolutionary Heart training, integral visionary Terry Patten will show you how to empower yourself to make a radical shift into living from your integral heart intelligence, marrying your spiritual life with your energized engagement with life — including engaging as a citizen-participant.
As you come into your own, you’ll be better positioned to live your truth “out loud” and activate your higher intuition. You’ll discover how to move beyond the typical ebbs and flows of changing emotions to a steadier undercurrent of commitment to omnipresent, unconditional love.
You’ll see how your heart is a hidden portal to the wisdom of your soul that can guide your life, infusing everything you do with meaning, purpose and a bedrock of love that you can now only imagine.
You’ll discover how to pass through this portal with authentic humility, patience, wisdom and skill — developing a new capacity for what some mystics call “feeling intelligence.” This feeling intelligence involves embracing all the dimensions of love in all the areas of your life… from the blissful to the sublime to the heartbreaking.
The intelligent, revolutionary heart is your gateway to conscious evolution — functioning as the actual integrator of body, mind, spirit… and the larger field of global and cosmic intelligence.
It’s also your gateway to a different kind of citizenship.
As you understand how to awaken your revolutionary heart, you mobilize a new form of intelligence in your life — one that gives you access to more clarity and empathy, making you capable of knowing your true commitments and keeping them, equipping you to be a far more effective change agent.
You’ll feel Truth in a whole-bodied, visceral way. You’ll be able to navigate complex situations guided instinctively by tacit wisdom, sensitivity and intuitive knowing.
And you’ll begin to experience an ecstatic current of divine presence pouring through your body and mind in a way that magnetically attracts what you most want to create in your life — and what “It” wants to create with and through you.
Fully activating your revolutionary heart is like plugging into the universal electrical grid… the lights just “come on.” When you know, down to your toes, that you are all about love in this world, you can then shine that light on a world in urgent need of it, in many forms, on many levels.
