The Love Initiation by Bill Bauman

We’ve all been hurt, often deeply or unbearably, by our daring attempts to love and be loved. In this module allow love, from its now sacred and official throne within your heart, to give you its first grace-filled gift – a true healing of that pain!

Yes, in our immersion in love, you’ll allow ourselves to open to love’s willingness and desire to put our emotional hurt and closed heart behind us, as it gives us the healing of or freedom from that pain that we’ve so longed for. As love’s “ambassador,” Bill will give voice to love’s powerful and radical transformation of your personal pain.

From this experience, you will:

• Open to the magical, mystical power of love to heal and transform anything
• Experience your past hurts and pains changing, in response to love’s gentle – yet deeply penetrating – touch
• Witness your heart moving from pain to power, from woundedness to aliveness, from timidity to confidence
• Understand more clearly love’s true nature and power – as the Universe’s essential creative force, as the heart of Creation – and as your personal tool for being re-created daily.
• Come to see that love is your most hidden, most powerful and most dependable personal power – if you only allow yourself to bond with it, become it and embody it

Our Spiritual Principle for this class: Always ask your heart (more than your mind) how it feels, and what it suggests in relationship to “x” aspect of your life (your partner, your circumstance, etc.) – especially if “x” aspect is bothering, irritating or concerning you.

At our core, the raw power of creation fills and moves us. Our human roots are a vital source of a creative power that we so often deny or repress, simply because we subconsciously fear it. Yet, if you allow love to come alive in our fiery depths, then you will have found a true key to dynamic living and loving – the unified power of heaven and Earth, light and dark, divine and human – alive and well right in your very personal depths.

Love will fill you so fully at this “bottom of the barrel” of your personal being that your depths will unify with your heart, and your primal power will blend with your divine love. Bill will help initiate you (or help you initiate yourself, if you will) into this unified field of love and power right at the center of your humanness – in your very gut-level, sub-cellular core. From there, love can achieve not only the deep personal healing you’ve needed, but the lasting freedom you’ve been craving. From there, you can begin to love with abandon.

From this experience, you will:

• Experience love actually taking root in your human core – coming alive in your personal depths – just as it has done (though quite differently) in your heart
• Witness love absorbing your primal, earthy power into its graceful embrace, transforming it into love-filled power and integrated “life force”
• Notice how your personal love and power behave once the “pull-and-tug” between them is lessened, once they have become a now unified force within you
• Have a radically new understanding of your primal power, and even have a loving relationship with this often misunderstood quality of your humanness
• Grasp and own your personal power in fresh ways, simply because you no longer experience it as separate from your love, or dangerous to your well-being

Our Spiritual Principle for this class: Remind yourself that, no matter what the interpersonal situation or drama between you and another person (or any aspect of life), it is you (not the other person, not life, not the circumstance) who needs to change, stretch, grow, give, expand, etc. The other person’s processes or changes are literally none of your business. The power to make these changes happen is alive within you.

With love now living in your heart, continually healing your pain and alive in your core, you’re ready to take the next big leap – saying a powerful “yes!” to love’s invitation to become YOU ever more fully! In this module, we all literally invite love to take us over – not in a hostile or controlling way, but in a loving, intimate, bonding, self-empowering way.

In this module, we will actually “give ourselves to love” (as the famous song has been imploring us to do), “let go and let love”, and let your identity become love itself. With Bill’s and our group’s support, you can now become the love we were born to be. How glorious!

From this experience, you will:

• Give yourself to love, become love, allow love to take over your every process, and invite love to awaken you in every way
• Allow love to re-create you anew, from the bottom up and from the top down – creating, for example, new neural pathways in your brain, innovative energetic breakthroughs in your magnetic field, and fresh openings in your love-prone heart
• Experience a “different feeling” personal strength – one that gives you the power and confidence to love more boldly, and more unconditionally
• Understand what it is like to be a human being taken over by love – to experience yourself as love, first and foremost – then to perceive your humanness as a natural extension of that love
• Become the human being you were born to be – a true “love child” of creation, with a calling to spread love generously within yourself, and unconditionally all around you

Our Spiritual Principle for this class: Remind yourself that, spiritually and subconsciously, you chose your partner’s (and life’s) seeming idiosyncrasies, imbalances, inadequacies and insecurities (as well as his/her/its wondrous and magnificent aspects) so that you would have the privilege of learning unconditional love. Commit yourself to learning this “graduate” version of love – the unconditional version – and do so in this relationship.

Now you’re ready – ready to let your internally alive love move out and express itself in the world around you. Yes, you’re ready to love someone else – or whatever aspect(s) of life call you – fully. You’re ready to become truly intimate – to step out beyond your earlier comfort zone, and experience love’s magic in action.
With the grace-filled blessing of this session, you’ll find yourself empowered to love without reserve, to love with confidence, and to love with your whole being. What a blessing!

From this experience, you will:

• Become your boldest loving Self – powerfully loving yourself, your partner and life
• Own the power of your heart’s love, and enliven it in your intimate relationship
• Dedicate yourself to your unique approach to intimacy – one that is now your “gift”
• Embrace more selfless, other-empowering styles of loving and living
• Learn to listen to, honor and respect your partner – without ego or need
• Begin to perfect the fine art of “soul bondedness” and its hidden powers

Our Spiritual Principle for this class: No matter what, avoid every urge, need or temptation to fix, heal, change or otherwise insert yourself into the learning/growth process of the other person. Your only “job” in this relationship is to love, honor, adore, support and believe totally in your partner (she/he then does the rest).

Unconditionality! It’s now your time to embrace this most desirable quality of love, this most noble of ideals. No matter how problematic your previous experiences of love may have been, and no matter how loving may have hurt you in the past, infinite love is ready to give you its most coveted gift – unconditional love.

Your personal ego, now ready to part with its pains and wants, will give way to the joy of selfless love. Even if your personal need to be fully loved hasn’t been fulfilled, love will transform that need into its next level of fulfillment – unconditional love. Initiated into love’s unconditionality, you can now experience intimacy – with yourself, your partner and everything – in a truly joyous way. You’ve now stepped boldly into love’s ultimate gift.

From this experience, you will:

• Think unconditionality, feel unconditionality and express unconditionality
• Find your own inner strength to be unconditionally loving – no matter what
• Learn a new model of spiritual mastery, as you give your life to intimacy
• Commit yourself to taking full responsibility for your feelings, needs and desires in relation to everyone you love
• Allow pure, unconditional love to break through any, and all, obstacles
• Become your own source of loving – from your unconditionally loving heart

Our Spiritual Principle for this class: Move beyond all personal expectations, needs or desires in relation to your partner. Love, yet do not expect love in return. Give, but don’t look for your beloved to give back to you. Take care of your own perceived emotional and physical needs, rather than looking for your partner to take care of them.

Love is simply hardwired to bless. It is naturally primed to splash itself around everywhere with its unlimited blessings. Its very nature and purpose are to bless you and all of us, over and over, from morning to night – every minute of every day. Love has no choice but, you guessed it, to love: unconditionally, with grace, with intimate feeling and compassion, with true forgiveness and power.

Love, left to its own devices, will heal us – empowering us and awakening us in every way we allow. Now that you have been initiated into love itself, you will embrace this bigger identity and role: “I am love and I am the expresser of love’s gifts!” You will begin to dispense love’s blessings everywhere you roam in your life. Yes, with this new “calling,” you will have become the very love you’ve been seeking.

From this experience, you will:

• Claim, own and enjoy your expanded identity as love’s emissary of blessings
• Experience the power of love’s intimacy-oriented blessing: to create miracles, remove obstacles and/or re-enliven a relationship
• Create your own life anew – both personally and in your intimate relationships – as a pro-active expresser of love’s blessings
• Find personal fulfillment at a whole new level of living – not primarily as a taker or receiver of love’s gifts, but as a giver and transmitter of them
• Center your life and relationship(s) on pure, unconditional and powerful love as you have never done before

Our Spiritual Principle for this class: Remind yourself regularly that real intimacy is never about your being right, being in charge or being seen as intelligent. It’s only and always about your being loving – period. Yes, loving – period.

Our Final Spiritual Principle for the entire course: Feel and express gratitude for the blessing that your partner (your circumstance, life itself, etc.) is to you every day – both internally (expressed to yourself) and externally (expressed to your partner).
