Luke Healy is a co-founder of the Integral Christian Network. The Integral Christian Network (ICN) is a global platform that invites practioners to deepen their connection to Christian spirituality through transpersonal practices, such as WeSpace groups, Integral Prayer and "Whole Body Mystical Awakening" guided meditations.
As someone raised in the Catholic faith, the Christmas season has special meaning. Immersing myself in the integral community and practice has given me the perspective (or aperspective, if you prefer) to integrate the magical, the mythical, the mental structures of Christianity. "On Earth as it is in Heaven" is not only a prayer but a commitment. God should not be imprisoned in the mythical or dismissed as invalid in the mental. Jorge Fererr writes there are many shores on the Ocean of Emancipation. Christianity is but one.
Luke answers the questions I have grappled with on my own Christian journey:
Is it blasphemous to identify with Christ/God?
How do we address the shadow/devil?
How do we integrate womb/genitalia/Eros as Christians?
... And we discuss what the Christmas season mean to him.
I took part in a WeSpace group in February/March of this year. If you identify as Christian and wish to deepen your practice subtly and communally, I'd highly recommend it. Warning: Be prepared to to activate the right-brained, intuitive, improvisational part of your brain!
Lastly, to all of you: I wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy Holidays. May 2021 be slightly better than 2020!
