Greetings in this Season of Light!

The Winter Solstice with its longest night is on December 21st.  During this dark time in the western hemisphere, we celebrate Infinite Light. Hanukkah , Christmas, Solstice, Kwanza, all celebrate the light as it returns to earth and The Light of Christ consciousness as it heals and uplifts our bodies and souls. I thought it appropriate to print 2 pages of the timeless Pathwork Christmas lecture from 1975. Some of us were there! Read the questions and answers by going to the pathwork website.

For those of you who are new to Core Energetics a brief history is appropriate. John Pierrakos married Eva, and her Pathwork teachings began to further embrace the emotional and physical aspects that became Core Energetics. Core Energetics stemmed out of Johns work in Bioenergetics Analysis. After meeting Eva, the spiritual philosophy of the Pathwork became the foundation of his work. Together, John and Eva created a wonderful, dynamic work that they joyfully gave to the world. Today Core Energetics and The Pathwork are as sweet family members, each doing a vital facet of the same work.

Please go to www.pathwork.org to read Lecture 239 including Q&A, and all 258 lectures that Eva channeled.

As the Pathwork Guide said, “Each one of you is a beautiful aspect and individualization of God.”

With love and prayers for peace in the world and in your hearts,
Pam

CHRISTMAS LECTURE 1975

Greetings, my beloved ones. The blessings flow richly from your innermost being into the outer world and from the outer world around you back into your innermost being. The birth of Christ celebrates and symbolizes birth -- not only birth of an entity, of a human being, but birth of new expressions, of new ways of expressing God in life, birth of new levels of consciousness.

The celebration of birth always follows the celebration of what you experience as death. It is an endless chain, a continuum of consciousness, but each birth always gives rise to new joy. And death is nothing else but another form of birth. It simply is the reverse side, symbolized in your religious history by Easter, where resurrection follows death.
At one time in your history, birth had to be celebrated and symbolized by the appearance of a human being. At that time in history human consciousness was still very much on an outer level. Everything had to be outward. Now, there was a man of such purity that the Christ could manifest in a totality seldom, if ever, experienced to that degree on the plane of matter.

It is a misunderstanding, however, to assume that the new coming of the Christ will take form in the same manner. The Christ lives within everyone and within everything that breathes and has consciousness. The Christ has been given birth by your work, my beloved friends. At each step of your path where you find a misconception, a negativity, a block, a destructiveness, a problem, an ignorance, you find a direct obstruction to the Christ within.

In the New Age the energy, the impetus, the power of the Christ has newly risen. It is not a sentimental, meek force by any means. It has tremendous power. Its strength sweeps your earth sphere, and those of you who are ready and have the courage, the inner courage, to make room for joy, for pleasure, to make room for ecstasy, can experience the Christ within. You can give birth to the Christ in you. At the same time this joy, this ecstasy, this total peace cannot be experienced unless you purify your soul, for otherwise you become anxious and contracted in a negative way and you reject the experience of joy and ecstasy. You cannot bear it. You create circumstances around you that seem to justify misery and darkness, but you must have been courting that misery and darkness. To the degree you refuse purification, you lack the courage to change into better ways, into new ways, into the ways within you that come with a powerful sweep. They show you that life is good.

You can afford generosity. You can afford to let others be their best. You can afford to give up the little self-interests. You can afford to be in a state of love. You can afford to have the courage and risk truth. You can afford humility, and the best will flow to you because you can receive it.

Your offerings, symbolized in the ornaments on your tree, are very real. These offerings must often be repeated, perhaps in your daily meditation, in your work sessions, in your group experiences, in your interaction with one another. They can be renewed when one points out to another what he or she observes, and when you listen more with an ear to what is the truth, rather than with the attitude of being rejected, hurt and misjudged. When you listen for the truth you will find the Christ within. You will experience so much more the greater life, the real life that you are a part of, your greater being, your eternal reality. You will know there is nothing to fear and nothing to mourn.

You, my friends, who are carriers and instruments in this important historical time at this point of evolution, actually live simultaneously in two worlds. You start off believing only in this material world that is very real to you. And it is indeed important, for it is your task to infuse the world of matter with the greater spiritual reality in which you are much more firmly planted than you realize. Only the separated consciousness manages not to know this, but as you progress on your path, slowly but surely your mind enlarges, your mind makes a leap, and suddenly you find another consciousness that is so much more real.

Perhaps you discover it first by creating a channel, as you call it. More and more of you begin to create a channel and thus find out who you really are. What greater gift could you give to yourself than making an effort to create a channel to that in you which is the Christ? The Christ in you is your true identity, which knows all and fears nothing and lives forever. It is that you that is always bathed in light, that is a light body, an energy body, truly indestructible.

Your consciousness has its feet planted in both these worlds, and that is your task -- to bring the world that is the reality into the outer realms and so to infuse the light of the newly-born Christ into matter. Christ is born every minute, every second, in time. Every new realization, every spurt of new consciousness, every breath of love, every change of attitude gives birth to the Christ, until all these many little lights that you light up in your own souls, spreading into others' souls, converge and emerge into one huge sea of light, into a sea of love, into a sea of intense joyous awareness.
Your community grows in depth, in beauty, in truth, in love and in abundance, and so more and more you make room for the Christ to guide you, to infuse you, to protect you, and to love you. And you discover a new oneness with each other, although you had started off as strangers, with walls around you. But these walls begin to crumble, and what was illusory separation turns out to be what it always was and really is, a oneness of consciousness, a love between various aspects of God.

Each one of you is a beautiful aspect and individualization of God. As you learn to discover this, you learn not to diminish your personality, but rather to make a bridge, a beautiful golden bridge from one to the other.

This message, my beloved ones, will bring you into your inner being and perhaps create a greater awareness of it than you have ever had. You can translate these words into your own new awareness of your true identity and discover your eternal reality, your eternal love and beauty and safety, for you need not fear or guard against anyone or anything.

Pathwork Guide Lecture No. 239 (1996 Edition)

Awaken Your Vital Sexuality - Core Energetics Workshop!
3 Days in February!  

- Workshop Leader - Pam Chubbuck PhD -

In Core Energetics, sexual energy and life force energy are the same. When we can experience ourselves as fully developed sexual beings, alive with vibrant energy coursing through our bodies, we feel more connected, creative, and better able to discover our gifts and bring them to the world.

Core Energetics uses body-based techniques to help us feel our resistance to pleasure, understand the wounds that caused it, and learn to trust. We teach you techniques to free up energy, so that you may access more pleasure and fulfillment.

Come work to transform your blocked energy! Be part of this powerful group experience.

Clients speak of working with Pam: "I have begun to feel my sexuality in a way that I never dreamed possible for myself.  As an individual who thought that I would be in "conventional" therapy forever, I am very grateful for the development and implementation of Core Energetics body-centered therapy."
~ Lisa Larsen-Moss, engineer, graduate, BB

"Pam accomplishes in 2 hours what psychoanalysis takes 20 years to do."
