We are the wounded souls. We are
the Spiritual Beings who have been wounded by coming into human bodies
in the Spiritually-hostile environment that has been present on planet
Earth for thousands of years.
The conditions on the planet have changed!
That is the Joyous news that I have to share with you. The dance
is changing. Since before the dawn of recorded history, the dance
of life for humans has been primarily one of survival, of endurance, of
suffering.
We have now entered a very special time in human
history. An Age of Healing and Joy has dawned in human consciousness
on this planet. We now have tools, knowledge, and most importantly,
clearer access to healing energy and Spiritual guidance than has ever before
been available in recorded human history on this planet.
The dance is changing. A Transformational
Healing Process has begun on planet Earth. We have begun the process
of breaking out of the vicious, self-perpetuating cycles of destructive
behavior that humans have been trapped in for thousands of years.
The destructive dance is changing into a dance of healing.
(Text in this color is used for quotes from
Codependence: The Dance of Wounded Souls by Robert Burney)
"Any single soul's evolution, its awakening, affects
all souls because we are all connected. We can, like Imo the genius monkey,
create a space, create a new level - a new aspect - of consciousness that
other humans then have access to."
"We have all lived multiple lifetimes. We
have all experienced every facet of being human. We are now not just healing
our wounds from this lifetime, we are doing Karmic settlement on a massive
scale, at a very accelerated rate."
"We, who are part of the ONENESS, get to experience
the illusion of separate individual identity. In God we are the music
- so we would never have experienced hearing music without this illusion
of separation. Most important, in The Goddess we are LOVE - the illusion
of separation allows us the opportunity to experience Love - to Love and
be Loved."
"We have now entered a new Age of Healing and
Joy in which it is possible to heal the planet through healing our relationships
with self. He combines Twelve Step Recovery Principles, Metaphysical
Truth, and Native American Spirituality with quantum physics and molecular
biology in presenting his belief that we are all connected, we are all
extensions of the Divine, and that ultimately Love is our True essence."

Metaphysical and Mystical
"So, this brings us to the more Metaphysical and Mystical aspects
of this article. I get uncomfortable in writing about my understanding
of levels that are beyond human understanding for numerous reasons.
The biggest one is that it is not really possible to explain the unexplainable.
It is also not necessary to understand the metaphysical levels in order
to do the healing. And as I have mentioned previously, some of us
tend to focus on such areas as metaphysics, past lives, astrology, extrasensory
or extraterrestrial phenomena as a way of avoiding doing the emotional
healing - as a way of avoiding healing our internal relationship with self.
Focusing on some of these areas can sometimes be almost as addictive as
focusing on other people, or success, or any of the myriad of people, places
and things that our disease would rather have us focus on than to deal
with our own pain.
And my interpretation of these levels/phenomena/issues is just that
- my interpretation. Anyone who is serving as a channel for information
is limited by their own intellectual/experiential paradigm. Whether
the person is psychic, or an astrologer, or channeling information from
"beyond," whatever, it is always important to not give too much power to
the details of what they say. Listen for any emotional messages that
resonate - but be discerning about giving too much power to their interpretations
in regard to details. What one person attributes to an angel another
might attribute to an alien presence. Whether something is written
in the stars or a theme from a past life doesn't really matter. What
matters are questions like: How does this information apply to my
healing process today?; How can this message help me see myself more
clearly?; Can the information help me to forgive myself and be more
Loving to myself?; Is the information and the way it is being presented
about Love - does it support Love or is it empowering separation?
I didn't really start to investigate any of these areas until after
I had been through treatment for codependence in the Spring of 1988.
The day before I left the treatment center one of my counselors told me
that I was a mystic. I had to look the word up in the dictionary.
mystic - n. One who professes a knowledge of spiritual
truth or a feeling of union with the divine, reached through contemplation
or intuition. (New Illustrated Webster's Dictionary,
1993 printing.)
That person was an angel in my path because she stimulated me to create
the space in my consciousness to be open to a different kind of inner communication.
It was as if she had given me permission to own a gift that had become
available to me because of the clearing of my inner channel that I had
done/was doing - and shortly thereafter I started writing the first book
of my Trilogy. I very seriously pursued learning about past lives
and different planes of existence and all of the esoteric, metaphysical
knowledge I could access. And that pursuit was important in helping
me to enlarge my intellectual paradigm - but a few years later I realized
that the whole purpose of the pursuit had been to bring about a shift in
my relationship with myself, my concept of God/Goddess, and with life.
The details that I had accessed about past lives and other dimensions of
existence were not really important in terms of how I live my life today
- but the shift in my paradigm, and therefore my relationships, was vital.
At that point in time, I threw away all the notes I had taken about different
past lives and such.
The whole purpose of my quest was to discover a belief system that could
allow me to start believing that I am in fact Lovable and worthy.
Figuring out how it all works isn't what is important - what is important
is discovering the faith to believe that there is a Loving Force in control.
That is what helped me start Loving myself more - to start relaxing and
enjoying life a little bit more instead of always giving fear and shame
all of the power.
So, anything in terms of details, that I share here are my interpretations.
The interpretations that helped me to discover a belief system that served
Love - that was functional in helping me to overcome the dysfunctional
beliefs I was programmed with in childhood. That they may be different
from someone else's interpretations does not mean that one is right and
one is wrong. There are a plethora of ways to look at and interpret
information which is beyond human understanding. Any explaining or defining
of God is limiting - and the Goddess is unlimited.
The purpose of sharing this at all, is the hope it may help you to enlarge
your intellectual paradigm - help you to build yourself a larger Spiritual
container so that you can open up to accessing more Love in your life."

The New Age - Page
includes excerpt from book about Molecular Biology and the hundredth monkey
principle in explaining why this is a New
Age. "Any single soul's evolution, its
awakening, affects all souls because we are all connected. We can, like
Imo the genius monkey, create a space, create a new level - a new aspect
- of consciousness that other humans then have access to."
Old Souls & Karma - Quotes
from Robert's writings that have to do with old souls and Karmic settlement.
"We
have all lived multiple lifetimes. We have all experienced every facet
of being human. We are now not just healing our wounds from this lifetime,
we are doing Karmic settlement on a massive scale, at a very accelerated
rate."
Jesus & Christ Consciousness -
A Christmas column focusing on Jesus. "Jesus was
a perfect Spiritual Being, a direct extension/manifestation from the ONENESS
that is the God/Goddess Energy, having a human experience - just as we
all are perfect Spiritual Beings having a human experience."
Jesus & Mary Magdalene
- Jesus, sexuality, & the Bible - This page was written
in reply to an e-mail that challenged a statement in the column Jesus and
Christ Consciousness that Jesus and Mary Magdalene were mates. It was originally
posted as a Question and Answer page on the Joy to You & Me web site.
"In
fact the declaration that Jesus was God was made in 325 AD by the Council
of Nicea. It was not a concept that was taught by his disciples after
his death. It was the church founded by Paul (who never met Jesus) among
the gentiles that started teaching that Jesus was Divine."
My Spiritual Belief System and the New Millennium
- Robert's response to an inquiry from a New Age magazine in India
about what he sees happening in the New Millennium.
"We,
who are part of the ONENESS, get to experience the illusion of separate
individual identity. In God we are the music - so we would never
have experienced hearing music without this illusion of separation.
Most important, in The Goddess we are LOVE - the illusion of separation
allows us the opportunity to experience Love - to Love and be Loved."
The Dance of the Wounded
Souls Trilogy Book 1 - "In the beginning . . . " -
This is a Magical, Mystical, Spiritual Fable that includes a narrative
story line and a History of the Universe unlike any that has ever been
written.
Prologue
"Once upon a time, in a place where there is no time, in a place where
there is no place, God was alone."
Chapter 1 of The Dance
of the Wounded Souls Trilogy - "I
had been asking, demanding, pleading, begging, praying, for it for months
- but when it finally happened I was totally shocked. I was so shocked
in fact that it has taken me years to gradually remember, and begin to
comprehend, what actually happened that night."
(These pages above are linked together so
that you may go from one to the next in the order listed.)
New Age Misinterpretations
of Metaphysical Truth - The polarized thinking of codependence causes
many to interpret Metaphysical Truth in ways that do not support the Truth
of Love. "Some of the greatest spiritual
teachers have a marvelous gift for communicating Truth - but have a problem
with applying that Truth in relationship to themselves."
Abundant
Spirituality in a New Age of Healing and Joy - A page which gives a
short summary of the Metaphysical beliefs and Mystical insights of Robert
Burney through quotes from various articles and his book. (The quote used
on the top of the page is from the same Chapter 7 of the online book about
the terrorist attack as the excerpt in the table above - and is part of
an excerpt used on this summary page.) "We
have now entered a new Age of Healing and Joy in which it is possible to
heal the planet through healing our relationships with self. He combines
Twelve Step Recovery Principles, Metaphysical Truth, and Native American
Spirituality with quantum physics and molecular biology in presenting his
belief that we are all connected, we are all extensions of the Divine,
and that ultimately Love is our True essence."
