Supporting the global shift in consciousness to create an Integral world
Thousands upon thousands of people around the world are reporting having spiritual experiences, waking up to a more expanded level of consciousness, which have the potential to catalyze a greater capacity to realize our collective human potential. They can also be extremely destabilizing within our current cultural framework, resulting in a growing number of people experiencing mental health problems, exacerbating the current global crisis.
A growing body of research shows us that having
a non-pathological framework within which to understand spiritual experiences reduces the chance of a person going into crisis.

We have created ISEN (International Spiritual Emergence Network) to be a vital resource and collaborative platform to assist established networks around the world that offer compassionate support to individuals who understand their experiences to be a spiritual crisis, rather than a mental illness. We are in the process of helping to
create new spiritual emergence networks,
that help bring together people who need help with those who can assist them, in countries where they do not yet exist, in order to assist with this vital paradigm shift towards an integral world.
ISEN provides assistance, education and encourages research toward a non-pathological, integral framework that
understands and embraces spiritual emergency,
reduces the crisis’ risks, and raises awareness globally—assisting the emerging paradigm shift to a higher consciousness for all of humanity.
ISEN is working in a very close collaboration with the Grof Foundation, continuing Christina Grof’s legacy on Spiritual Emergence Network, intuitively guided in our mission from spirit and our passions to alleviate the suffering of those in spiritual crisis, and to spread and disseminate awareness of the transpersonal, for future generations.

Hello my name is Sean McCleary and I have been doing extensive work over the last 6 years on the paradigm shift and in that time period something very powerful has happened to me. I have developed an extremely powerful insight into the nature of the shift in consciousness in many different aspects. This is just one of them. If you would like to contact me my phone number is 337-315-2634 and I will forward over more of my findings. Thank you.
I am going to explain the interaction of human consciousness with world consciousness and how the two have represented the paradigm shift that physicist and philosopher Thomas Kuhn was referring to with his work. I’m going to use the example of the time period of 1950-1990, because this time period represents Change in a very powerful way in association with the paradigm shift. With any warfare occurring on planet earth there comes a production of fear associated with that activity and that fear can be identified as pressure in human consciousness and the higgs field around planet earth. In the time period of the 1950’s there was an incredible amount of fear ( when I use the term fear it also refers to pressure) in world consciousness due to the residual affects of world war two and the Korean war which was happening. The interaction of people socially, spiritually and psychologically was very restrictive and there was alot of regression, repression and oppression in consciousness which was represented by extreme censorship in different areas of communication. This is because of the fear in world consciousness in relation to warfare activity. With the introduction of rock and roll in the 50’s it was a significant role in the release of the fear that had been manifested in consciousness as a whole. People started to release their repression and regression through the conveying of their ideas through music. The exchange of liberation started to have a profound effect on consciousness everywhere. Music of course is sound and information transferred by vibrations. This was having an effect on the higgs field by releasing pressure into existence from the creation of rock n roll. That liberation transitioned into the 1960’s and interaction among people wasn’t quite as restrictive. The Vietnam war hit and this did not affect human consciousness in the same way as the previous wars because rock n roll had gained a powerful notoriety. That’s one of the primary reasons there were so many protests and revolutionary activity because of the evolution of consciousness and the releasing of fear through different ideologies and activities. Also people were using alot of marijuana and LSD and this caused people to want to search and develop new theories and philosophies to gain more insight into what was happening with themselves and the world around them. This also contributed to the evolution of consciousness in a powerful way. When the 1970’s arrived the Vietnam war was in the process of coming to an end and the residual affects from that warfare activity and the transfer of fear into human and world consciousness wasn’t nearly as powerful as the 1950’s. There was still some regression, repression and restriction in consciousness mainly in the form of censorship on a micro and macro level. I mentioned marijuana before in reference to the late 60’s. This and other forms of mood and mind altering chemicals were in high demand because they alleviate fear and change ones perception of reality. This caused an increase in alcoholism and addiction. This also caused an increase in the demand of recovery. A greater awareness and understanding of addiction was taking hold on a worldwide level with the introduction of more treatment facilities 12 steps programs and research. In the big book of alcoholics anonymous it states that the spiritual malady that causes alcoholism is fear. This is completely accurate. It also states that the solution is maintaing a connection with a higher power.People who suffer from this particular phenomenon contain more fear in their consciousness. Recovery grew and expanded on a worldwide level. Human beings are representations of consciousness and energy. People started gravitating to 12 step philosophy and treatment centers in a much more powerful way especially with the rise in prescription medication and cocaine abuse. The accumulation of fear from addiction and the purging of fear from treatment and people inheriting the 12 steps philosophy was generating alot of activity in the higgs field on a worldwide level and consciousness started evolving in a more powerful way. Typically before an individual goes through a spiritual awakening the acknowledgement of their condition is more prevalent, this generates more preparation to seek a solution. The opposition in consciousness here between science and religion caused earth itself to want to implement a change and the 12 steps and recovery was and is the catalyst for that. The primary reason is there was alot of confusion in the concept of religion through vavarious belief structures and an initiative of trying to define the meaning of the existence of God and how that relates to the individual. The 12 step philosophy is choosing a higher power of one’s own understanding and basically everyone seeks and wants love as their foundation of existence, so this is actually the basis of this ideology. All of this caused a decrease in strict fundamentalism associated with religion and expelled alot of fear in world consciousness integrating more light and dark energy which facilitated more evolution in the higgs field. Love has to do with the integration of light energy, dark energy, consciousness and evolution. Millions and millions of people today who used to suffer from a high concentration of fear in their consciousness experience freedom with neutrality, this is also stated in the big book. What neutrality means is a greater understanding of themselves and their environment and how their consciousness responds to that.This catalyst is affecting the higgs field in a powerful way because the higgs boson represents neutrality because it is light energy, dark energy and consciousness. The higgs boson is the most powerful representation of the moment there is, and this has to be represented because it is included into existence with the creation and formation of itself. This is one of the reasons the higgs boson was discovered here. Jesus said the kingdom of heaven is within and a 12 step experience represents that in the most powerful way. The Lord’s prayer states thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. That’s what earth and the human race are rapidly advancing towards. Very exciting! I have alot more information on this subject matter if you wish to contact me. Thank you. Sean McCleary.
