Time collapses, time expands. Steve Taylor studies and write books about the illusion of time embossed on our3D minds. Through the common spiritual awakenings many of you experience, we find a depth of connection to others and nature rarely available to our regular reality selves. During life threatening accidents and major falls time slows down, our minds expand to take into what we need to do to manage the crisis. These traumatic hints spotlight the limits of our linear time orientation. When you let go of the linearity to experience the interconnection of everything, you loosen the isolation of disconnection and join the worldwide movement toward collective spiritual awakening so desperately needed in these traumatic times. *This episode was originally uploaded to YouTube on November 17, 2024 * Join the Coincidence Project's Email List for weekly updates and events! https://thecoincidenceproject.net/ambassadors/bernard-beitman/ Steve Taylor PhD is the author of 16 books on psychology and spirituality, and is a senior lecturer in psychology at Leeds Beckett University.

Get our latest psychology lectures emailed to your inbox: http://bit.ly/new-talks5 For 15 years, the transpersonal psychologist Steve Taylor has been researching cases of ‘transformation through turmoil,' or spontaneous spiritual awakening caused by suffering. In times of bereavement, serious illness, addiction, deep depression and intense stress, a miraculous transformation can occur: the death of an old identity and the birth of a new, spiritually awakened self. In this session based on his upcoming book Extraordinary Awakenings, Steve shares some cases from his research, and explains the reasons why intense suffering can lead to transformation. Then he explains what we can learn from the phenomenon, with principles that we can apply to our own spiritual development. He also explains the global and evolutionary aspects of the phenomenon, in relation to the crises we face as a species. Steve will also lead meditations and exercises to show how we can harness the transformational power of crises and turmoil in our lives. -- Steve Taylor, PhD, is the author of Extraordinary Awakenings and many other bestselling books including The Leap and Spiritual Science.

EXTRAORDINARY AWAKENINGS with STEVE TAYLOR, PhD     “It's ego dissolution. But it's not just ego dissolution; it's also the birth of a new self. It's not just a break down, which is ego dissolution, it's a shift up.  It's the uncovering of a deeper spiritual self which was always there but it seems to have been dormant, waiting for the opportunity to emerge.” – Steve Taylor, PhD, describing extraordinary awakenings       Episode Summary:   Why do some people who experience the absolute worst that life has to offer respond not by breaking down but by shifting up, into a higher-functioning, awakened state, like a phoenix rising from the ashes?    Today we talk with Steve Taylor, PhD, the author of Extraordinary Awakenings: When Trauma Leads to Transformation, and other bestselling books. He is senior lecturer in psychology at Leeds Beckett University in Leeds, West Yorkshire, England; and the chair of the Transpersonal Psychology Section of the British Psychological Society. Steve's articles and essays have been published in over 100 academic journals, magazines, and newspapers and he blogs for Scientific American and Psychology Today.   Listen in to hear how you can encourage your own spontaneous, extraordinary awakening.     Topics We Discuss:   [2:56] His research in transformation through turmoil (instantaneous), in contrast with post-traumatic growth (normally slow and gradual).    [5:41] Breakdown of the ego giving way to a larger, more spiritual self.   [8:23] What is means to awaken. The surface personality and its attachments fade, while soul qualities emerge. Interconnectivity increases.   [11:47] Triggers for profound transformation:  prison, military conflict, bereavement, near death experience, cancer diagnosis.   [17:03]  We can encourage transformational experiences, hopefully without the life-or-death level turmoil -- acknowledging, embracing and accepting challenging situations.   [20:05] When the “normal self” dies away during these extraordinary awakenings, disease and addiction can instantaneously resolve during.   [22:33] Why Steve Taylor is optimistic about the future of humanity. Evolution is a continuum of increasing consciousness.   [27:46] Amy's speed round questions: What is spirituality? What is something people don't know about you? What is one thing you're looking forward to right now? What's one thing you're deeply grateful for? What book in on your nightstand? What is your favorite spiritual or healing practice? What is the most spiritually transformative experience of your life?       FOLLOW STEVE TAYLOR:   Find out more about Steve's books on Amazon. Or check out his website.

Why do some people who experience the worst that life has to offer respond not by breaking down but by shifting up, into a higher-functioning, awakened state? And perhaps more importantly, how can we emulate their transformations? Over many years of observing and studying the phenomenon of life-changing awakening through extreme suffering, psychologist Steve Taylor coined the term “transformation through turmoil (TTT).” He calls individuals whose struggles lead to a dramatic shift into a new, expansive identity “shifters” and in Extraordinary Awakenings: When Trauma Leads to Transformation (New World Library, September 14, 2021) he shares dozens of amazing stories of individuals who “woke up” to profound transformation following bereavement, deep depression, suicide attempts, addiction, military combat, imprisonment, or other intense encounters with mortality. “It is tremendously moving to hear accounts from people who have been to the furthest extremes of loss and suffering, who have faced the most desperate and desolate predicaments that human beings can possibly experience,” writes Taylor. “But even more than that it is inspiring that these people have risen so gloriously from the depths of their suffering and are now living such fulfilling and purposeful lives.” Along with the amazing stories of shifters he shares throughout the book, Taylor uncovers the psychological processes that help explain these miraculous awakenings. He also highlights a number of lessons and guidelines from the experiences of shifters and offers readers hope and guidance to call on during their own struggles.

Over many years of observing and studying the phenomenon of life-changing awakening through extreme suffering, psychologist Steve Taylor coined the term “transformation through turmoil (TTT).” He calls individuals whose struggles lead to a dramatic shift into a new, expansive identity “shifters” and in Extraordinary Awakenings: When Trauma Leads to Transformation (New World Library, September 14, 2021) he shares dozens of amazing stories of individuals who “woke up” to profound transformation following bereavement, deep depression, suicide attempts, addiction, military combat, imprisonment, or other intense encounters with mortality. “It is tremendously moving to hear accounts from people who have been to the furthest extremes of loss and suffering, who have faced the most desperate and desolate predicaments that human beings can possibly experience,” writes Taylor. “But even more than that it is inspiring that these people have risen so gloriously from the depths of their suffering and are now living such fulfilling and purposeful lives.” Along with the amazing stories of shifters he shares throughout the book, Taylor uncovers the psychological processes that help explain these miraculous awakenings. He also highlights a number of lessons and guidelines from the experiences of shifters and offers readers hope and guidance to call on during their own struggles. Steve Taylor, PhD, is the author of Extraordinary Awakenings and many other bestselling books. He's senior lecturer in psychology at Leeds Beckett University and the chair of the Transpersonal Psychology Section of the British Psychological Society.

For 15 years Steve has been researching cases of spontaneous spiritual awakening triggered by intense psychological turmoil. In times of intense stress, a miraculous transformation sometimes occurs: the death of an old identity and the birth of a new, spiritually awakened self. He explains why intense suffering can lead to spiritual growth. He offers insights from his research, along with actionable principles that we can apply to our own spiritual development. Whether or not turmoil leads to a breakthrough depends on a person's attitude towards their predicament If bitterness and resentment, the trauma is just suffering But if you face reality, then embrace and accept it, it can lead to breakthrough Particular experiences have the potential to awaken you Bereavement often gives rise to transformation Four different areas in which our awareness expands during a spiritual awakening Four-step process of responding to suffering and turmoil to help harness their transformational power Going into our own inner space  Collective trauma  Guest Website: https://www.stevenmtaylor.com/ Host Website: http://www.dawsongift.com/ #eft #eftuniverse #awakening #trauma #transformation #mindtomatter #blissbrain

I began to be more and more interested in Transpersonal psychology. I did a Ph.D. in Transpersonal psychology and I realized it was where my soul as a whole in studying spirituality. (05:21)A spiritual awakening is an expansion and an intensification of awareness, sometimes that's interpreted in the concept of spiritual traditions. (9:31)Most addicts got a history of trauma, usually childhood trauma, physical, sexual abuse during childhood, or emotional deprivation during childhood. I think that is often the root of the addiction. In a way what they're trying to do with that trauma, they're trying to medicate themselves dealing with that trauma. (16:29)I found out in my research that around two-thirds of people experienced these kinds of after-death communications, sometimes a very direct, sometimes an interaction, sometimes like voice, often a smell, sometimes symbolic communications. (25:58)There are actually two kinds of near-death experience. (26:39)Ego dissolution can take place through intense stress or through a long process of loss and detachment. (43:11)Life is always an adventure. Every experience we go through in life has a developmental effect on us. Every experience deepens us, widens us that's why old people often have special wisdom. (45:26)There's certainly a parallel between psychosis and spiritual awakening. (47:11)Life in this world, in this body, is an incredibly precious and fragile gift, so we gotta appreciate it. (54:41)In a few years, we will realize that we have undergone some post-traumatic growth.
