Advanced Personal Mastery – GBA Advanced Retreats™
GBA Advanced Retreat 2™
GBA Advanced Retreat Phase 2 revisits and stands upon the deep experience of GBA Advanced Retreat Phase 1. More advanced knowledge regarding Higher States of Consciousness and further spiritual practices building upon the practices given in GBA Advanced Retreat 1 are used to integrate wholeness in the Spiritual and Material realms.
To live inside the Truth,
To feel it inside of us through experience and emotion,
is to Become moment by moment.
Our bodies are holy things
filled with the Living Light of the Source.
In any moment we wish we can recreate the dream
For we have unlimited power to create it so.
Gita Bellin
GBA Advanced Retreat Phase 2™
GBA Advanced Retreat Phase 2 explores Personal Soul Purpose, Meaning and Contribution in relation to “Calling Forth” a new endeavour to live the highest possible State of Consciousness within the Personal Life and the chosen Field of Service.
Courage means going into the unknown, into a space beyond, despite all fears. The courageous person knows the fear of exploring the unknown and yet still goes forward. To be courageous is to live from a place of Trust in the Heart. It is about leaving the limitations of past paradigms and going forward into a future paradigm, as yet unknown. The Intellect can only know past history, the Heart—the Soul dreams about a Future Paradigm from within the Present.
Those who embrace a New Paradigm of Ego-Centric—Soul-Centric integration, of Spiritual Integration, must often do so in defiance of the evidence that is around them. They must, that is, have faith that the New Paradigm of Higher States of Spiritual Awareness will succeed. The skills that emerge from living this New Paradigm offers abilities to succeed in solving the many large problems that confront us at this time. This new Knowing can only be made on Trust from within the Heart.
Those who choose to transform their paradigms early do so not as an act of the head, Strategic Personality, but as an act of the Heart, the Soul. The shift is a choice to transform into a New Paradigm of Knowing early on in the Noble Journey of Life. However this is extremely risky and takes great courage. This great risk however is balanced with tremendous opportunities.
At this level of Advanced Personal Mastery those who accept a New Paradigm of Inner Knowing early will never have enough proof to make that acceptance a rational judgement. The choice is simply from a space of Knowing Truth.
“A HUMAN BEING is part of the whole, called by us ‘Universe’, a part limited in time and space. We experience ourselves, our thoughts and feelings, as something separated from the rest – a kind of optical delusion of our consciousness.
This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion, to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty”.
Albert Einstein
Course Description
GBA Advanced Retreat Phase 2 recognises that each participant is one of an increasing number within the global family who are seeking Personal Self-Actualisation and Inner Peace. The Transformation of our Beloved planet Earth, the increase of inspired Spiritual Values that we as human beings wish to live, become enhanced and supported every time each one of us seeks Knowledge and Silence. There is so much Wisdom available to us and each one of us has the opportunity to find our identity through the exploration and experience of the Knowledge of Higher Consciousness. The most important thing for a Pioneer of Conscious Evolution, is to live life in Love, Strength, Compassion, and the understanding of the ultimate experience of the Truth of Being a Human Being – Being Free.
This GBA Advanced Retreat facilitates those who wish to Live and Serve from a Higher State of Consciousness. Participants are enabled to regain connection with the Truth that we are alive on Earth to nurture, cherish, care for, encourage and live a Soul-Centric connection with, every Space we enter, every Living Thing we encounter, every Step we take on Planet Earth, and with All Life Everywhere.
World Peace begins with the individual. It is encouraging that there are members of the Human Family that come to learn the Higher Knowledge and Practices that integrate Mind, Heart and Soul.
Further Advanced Spiritual Practices are offered within the GBA Advanced Retreat 2. These practices gradually bring the experience of a Deep Peace continually permeating our Being.
Self-Understanding brings World Peace
The Core Teachings in the GBA Advanced Retreats explore the understanding and knowledge of the Higher Order of Matter. Confucius understood this and wrote a clear passage regarding the Noble Journey towards Wisdom. Below is what Confucius said.
When Knowledge of things is gained, then understanding is reached
When understanding is reached then the Will is sincere
When the Will is sincere then the Heart is set right
When the Heart is set right then the Personal Life is cultivated
When the Personal Life is cultivated then the Home Life is regulated
When the Home Life is regulated then the National Life is orderly
When the National Life is orderly – then the World is at Peace
There is a Cause and a Sequence in things, a Beginning and End in Human Affairs
To know the Order of Precedence is to have the Beginning of Wisdom
Confucius

When the Grail was in Arthur’s realm
and noblest Knights resolved to roam
The wide world in all its mystery they might have known.
Wise Merlin leaned upon his oak and laughed.
O what a lot of fools, and what a lot of wasted breath
to try to warn or guide them now.
They learn the long slow winding way,
but someday find it anyhow.
What cannot be won and cannot be bought,
what cannot be captured or even sought,
but only by Grace given and by Love wrought.
The cup of Life is here not there
Within the Tree, but also everywhere.
I have it and so do you, but none may own it all alone
and yet it cannot belong to any but One…..”
