It is important that we choose carefully the right time in our lives to approach this level of spiritual work. All of our lives are held in Wholeness, whether we do this work or not.

Those of us who choose to do this work must have a high degree of self-knowledge before beginning, a sense of our personal psychology and experience in working with our unconscious motivations. From the perspective of ASOS,we do not want to wipe out the ego but return it to its original job.To this end,we need to know something about the wounds our egos have suffered and the defenses they have engaged in. For our purposes, the ego does not have to be resolved to engage in IM, but we need to know something about its strength and fragility. We need to ask ourselves if we are ready to have a new relationship with it, where it is no longer in sole charge of our lives.

We particularly encourage:

• Artists of all types who want to enhance their work by learning to embody the unitive state

• Conflict negotiators of all types who, by learning this practice,can help others to resolve the seemingly unsolvable

• Seekers from all spiritual paths who would like to experience this methodology to enhance their own practices
