I was a tenured professor of psychology from 1991-2012. Since my retirement in 2012, I continued to teach various psychology classes online until 2018 when I finally stopped working for the college and embarked on a more intensive personal journey to consolidate what I had learned over the years. Psychology provided me the platform to explore human consciousness and what it means to evolve our consciousness. I integrated science with spirit in my teachings because I believed that a thorough exploration of Self requires that we explore through a transpersonal lens that allows us to incorporate knowledge gained from the other disciplines: neuroscience, evolutionary psychology, quantum physics, behaviorism, humanistic approaches as well as traditional psychodynamic thought, to name a few.
I loved teaching the various courses (general psychology, gender, personal and social adjustment, abnormal psychology, human sexuality, consciousness, marriage and family), but my favorite topic was my Consciousness Series courses. This 3-part series explored what is known about the History of Consciousness as well as being introduced to how consciousness is explored by various theorists. Advanced Consciousness continued that exploration into the various powers of consciousness as well. Books and teachings by Ken Wilber, Jeffrey Mishlove, and Michael Talbot formed the basis of these explorations.
To get a better view of what I focused upon in my teachings, please view my website at www.wuchicreations.com, or use the link on my Substack website. From my website, you can access a series of articles that I wrote for those classes as well as for my website. There are also videos found there. I was privileged to co-teach with Dr. Stanley Krippner at the Institute of Noetic Science in Palo Alto. As a precursor to that workshop, I did a three-part series webinar on The Awakened Self that you will find under the Video Archive on my website at wuchicreations.com.
Today, I am primarily focused on helping others to find their path to Awakening to their inner core authentic Self. That Self is different from the self, which I will refer to as our ego’s belief and expression of who we think we are (or should be). The authentic Self is the Self that has explored and discovered how she/he has been molded into the current state of self that that person believes her/himself to be. That journey allows for a rediscovery at the same time. We rediscover the parts of ourselves that we have discarded because they didn’t seem to make us acceptable to others. We discover the parts of ourselves that we may have “made up” because we didn’t believe that who we are was enough. This false self is developed through the familial, cultural and societal dictums that basically told us we needed to be different.
The writings that I plan to explore on this platform have to do with our Awakening to a more evolved state of our humanness. It is an opening of our consciousness to that which may have been hidden from us waiting to emerge. It is a journey in which you are the heroine or hero of your own story. I am here to be a guide.
Namaste.
Dr. Sharon
