Led by Trillium Awakening Teachers:
Rod Taylor  .  Van Nguyen  .  Ralf Humphries  .  Francesca Blackstock

Support by:   Debi Bailey, Interning Teacher  .  Cynthia Wolley, Mentor 

“This course offers a new revelation of post-Whole Being Realization awakenings—a heretofore unknown spiritual treasure within our Trillium Awakening work and within all Spiritual Realization Traditions for students to learn about.”    
       – Van Nguyen,  longest-serving Trillium Awakening Teacher

The course includes detailed descriptions and materials about awakenings that many students have either never heard about before or have not understood are available for them to personally realize. It outlines profound advancements available beyond the initial Whole Being Realization that can unfold for ongoing participants in whole being evolution work.

Introduction:

The ‘Awakenings Beyond Initial Whole Being Realization – Self Study Course’ provides Pioneering Knowledge, a Comprehensive Map, and Loving Guidance to support personal realization, embodiment, and living in the new Whole Being Paradigm of Human Spiritual Awakening.

This emergent Whole Being Paradigm is characterized by living simultaneous realization of Consciousness, Embodiment, and Mutuality in the midst of one’s ongoing life. The past millennia spiritual teachings of Awakening to Consciousness Exclusive of Form and Relationship, and spiritual teachings of Devotional Deference to a Separate Creator, have shifted in this emergent paradigm to Awakening in Non-Dual Wholeness Inclusive of Consciousness, Existence, and Relatedness.

Content:

This course outlines Eight Awakened Whole Being Stages available to be realized in this emergent Whole Being Paradigm of Human Spiritual Evolution.

It describes how an initial awakening into Whole Being Realization of Consciousness, Embodiment, and Mutuality, and its integrated stabilization in awakening into Whole Being Continuity Realization, naturally evolves over time into the emergence of Whole Heart Awakening, and with further evolution, to awakening as Consciousness, Being, and Universal Love – the Source–Manifest–Trinity at the core of one’s being in awakening into the Alchemical Fire of Life Stage of Whole Being Evolution.

This Fire of Life Stage of living one’s fully embodied self, provides a crucial ground for the emergence of the Self–No Self Stage of awakening that includes direct personal realization of Source both manifest as all of Creation and ever-present unmanifest in all of Creation.

Living this Self–No Self Stage over time reveals the ‘Sacred’ nature of existence as the continuum of ‘Source of All’ to ‘Source as All’ ever-present as the underlying truth of all that is. And this relationship of ‘Source of All’ to ‘Source as All’ becomes known, experienced, and felt as Divine Love. This is the profound basis for evolution into the Awake as Sacred Essence of Creation Stage and the Awake as Sacred Self Stage that further unfold in this path of evolution.

Awake as Sacred Self is the seventh awakened stage of Whole Being Evolution and brings fulfillment to aspirations for full realization of the personal self.

Yet the Sacred Self Stage lived over time further awakens into the Awake as Conscious Sacred Wholeness stage. Awakened Sacred Self transforms into realization of the ‘Self’ as ‘Inclusive of All That Is’, in which ‘Universal Sacred Soul’ becomes revealed as the underlying truth of one’s personal ‘Sacred Soul-Self’, and one’s inner core opens to realization of ‘Golden Sacred Singularity’ as the ‘Core of all Creation’. Conscious Sacred Wholeness becomes lived as Sacred Singularity, the realization of the ‘Sacred Mystery of Source Outshining All Form’.

Purpose:

This ‘Awakenings Beyond Initial Whole Being Realization Course’ leads participants through initiatory understandings, ways of being, and styles of relating, to support and activate their own full unfoldment into Realizing, Being, and Living in the emergent Whole Being Paradigm of Human Spiritual Evolution.

Teachers Rod Taylor, Van Nguyen, Ralf Humphries, Francesca Blackstock, and the graphic charts of the Whole Being Evolution Map, offer a lifelong resource of profound knowledge, awakening experience, and activating support for your own process of evolution in this emergent Whole Being Paradigm. 

Reviews from Participants Attending the Live Sessions:

1. “I can’t say enough about this course. It was clarifying, uplifting and expansive. The teachers lovingly held us every step of the way. Their recitations on the stages of Whole Being Realization were remarkable and beautiful, engaging me on many different levels that touched my cognition, my heart and my whole being.  I’m grateful to have been present for this transmission of love and wisdom provided by the teachers and everyone who participated.”  – Kamala Allen

2. “The Awakenings – Beyond Whole Being Realization course has been a glorious experience for me, one with many inspiring eye-opening (and soul-opening) revelations and Ah-Ha moments.   I feel that with the extraordinary transmissions of Shiva-Shakta energy that take place along with the brilliant explanations of the advancing stages of Whole Being Realization, I am experiencing an activation of the deepening of my own awakening.  It is actually palpable.  I would recommend this incredible course to anybody interested in the deepening of their own Awakened state.”   – Luke Sutton

3. “I thoroughly enjoyed this course and recommend it for multiple reasons:

1. It provided much needed confirmation of the fact that my unfoldment is happening just as it should. I can relax and let things take their course.
2. It was lovely to be reminded of various transitions I’ve already gone through and how much I appreciate all of them
3. The teachers are a good team because they all provide different perspectives of the various stages and these complement each other.
4. It reminded me that it’s ok to have human foibles and personality quirks and to hold them lightly and love them.
5. The energy and love transmissions from both the teachers and fellow attendees were wonderful.
6. Hearing other people’s experiences and questions were also much appreciated.”
   – Mary Gibson

4. “I loved the incredible balance all through the course between mind presence (maps, flowers with petals, explanations, notes, presentations), heart presence (continuous welcoming of each and every comment from participants and/or another teacher, all four teachers transmitting love each in a different style, from Francesca, an incredibly soft and powerful sweetness, from Van, a unpredictable and creative raw and refined loving, from Ralf, a feeling of being whispered to with such divine penetrating attunement, and Rod, with the wisest heart I ever met as we travel these infinite/finite waters. And certainly being-embodied presence from the four of you, embodied sweetness, embodied raw and refined loving, embodied penetrating attunement, embodied wisdom. I am filled with awe after such a brilliant, safe, unencumbered, inspiring, clarifying, inviting co-presentation. I am left with a deep sense of slowing down and enjoying the voyage immensely, in no hurry to reach any of the higher or deeper stages. Welcoming this very moment as I am writing to all of you. In love with the beauty of us all and discovering a bit more each day the expression Whole Being Realization. A flowering dance of Source creation, Soul shining through, Soul as Source, Source as Soul, and sometimes for me, Source as all.”  – Pierre Bonneau

5. “I want to thank you for offering and teaching Awakenings Beyond WBR.  The course has been rich in transmission even if I didn’t understand all of what Rod said!

My mantra in recent years has been “allow, allow, allow” and Rod’s teachings re-reinforced that mantra even more. Sometimes I find that allowing or embracing my fears can be terrifying but at the same time, I feel liberation when I get to the other side.

Also, the course was well structured and ran smoothly (from my perspective).” 
    – Elaine Cooperman

6. “What would I say to someone who is considering taking this course? First, I would ask what their intention is for considering the course. Are they willing to be present and committed to listen as best they can and to use the material in a way that can help them in their own journey of consciousness, embodiment and mutuality?

I would not recommend the course to someone who feels that they have not experienced their initial Whole Being Realization (second birth as some still call it). But I would recommend it to those who do feel that they have experienced it.

My experience was that there is a lot of material to follow and it takes patience and acceptance to allow it to soak into my being. In that regard, I tend to concentrate only on the parts that I can use in the present moment and allow the rest to be in the background until it becomes necessary to use it.”
– Bobby Delamar

7. “I was first introduced to Rod’s Whole Being Evolution Map about four years ago and I didn’t get too far in my understanding of it at that time. Fortunately for me this Awakenings Beyond Whole Being Realization Course was offered this year and it was such a gift. This 10-week course was comprehensive in that it included all twelve stages and by seeing each stage within the context of the entire path, from source to source, it all became clearer to me.  The course was beautifully presented.  Each of the twenty sessions included a presentation by Rod of the map, poems and his personal stories relating to each stage with the introduction to each stage on Tuesday and more in-depth discussion and Q&A on the following Monday.  In addition to Rod’s teaching, we were blessed with Ralf Humphries’ brilliant narrative and writings taking us deeper into the meaning of each stage.  And as an extra bonus we were gifted with Van Nguyen’s inspirational poetic sharings that penetrated deep into the heart.  Van also set the mood for each session with his mystical flute.

Francesca did a great job administering the course with help from Cynthia and Debi.  Complete video recordings of the course along with writings and charts were placed on Thinkific which is a wonderful platform for accessing all the materials.  I’m sure I will be spending many hours using this resource.

I feel such gratitude for Rod Taylor’s revealing this map to the world.  I am blessed beyond measure.”
– Jim Mathis

8. “I have been deeply engaged by, challenged by and changed by this course: its offerings pointed at through three very different “teacher portals,” allowing me beautiful refinements of experience, recognition and resonance. I recognized myself in much I had not yet put words to, and also saw much potential yet to realize. I learned more language with which to discuss, and thus deepen and share both. The bright transmission of the teachers, and the whole group, were a vibrant swim in the waters where we most deeply unfold, heal ourselves, and live That.” – Debbi Flittner

Included:

Each recorded session includes presentations, graphic charts, questions, and discussions (1.5 to 2+ hours).

The presentations and materials in each session are offered from the perspective of a poetic verse of the Whole Being Evolution Map in which participants may find their own resonance or activation. You are invited to consider your personal resonant experiences and insights from pre– and post– whole being realization or from new realizations that arise during the sessions. If possible, arrange to discuss with peers or teachers in this work how they may relate to the Eight Awakened Stages of Whole Being Evolution presented during the course.

No matter where you are in your process of Whole Being Realization, you are invited to enrich your personal process of awakening by hearing the presentations of teachers and shared personal experiences of participants, and consider your own resonance with advancing realizations in whole being evolution.

For those who have had their whole being realization in past years, this is an opportunity to clarify elements of your own evolving experience and further activate your realization process through resonance with advancing realization descriptions.

Ralf Humphries

RALF HUMPHRIES is a midwife of awakening, supporting individuals in the birthing of their whole being self. In this process, the subtle soul-nature is welcomed into full embodiment and increasing love-expression in the world. Ralf’s postnatal support continues to be valuable as these awakened individuals mature through further evolutionary stages of their whole being unfoldment.

Ralf first intuited a fundamental, irresolvable paradox at the heart of things in his teens. He mapped the contours and evoked the experience of this paradox throughout a distinguished career of transdisciplinary academic research, conference presentations and peer-reviewed publications, which was followed by five years living as a Buddhist monk in a Theravada forest monastery. In 2013, with the support of Trillium Awakening, he was delighted to discover the ever-present paradox of infinite-in-finite at the core of his embodied nature.

In the last eight years, Ralf has worked as a psychotherapy educator and a senior clinician in a residential addiction treatment facility. He currently has a private practice as a therapist, is an interning teacher with Trillium Awakening, and is a Whole-Being Evolution Guide. Ralf lives with his dear one in Melbourne, Australia.

Van Nguyen

VAN NGUYEN has been a teacher of the Trillium Awakening path since 1996 and is a member of the Elders Council of the Trillium Awakening Teachers Circle.

Van contributed to the formulation of the dharma in the early days of this work, as well as helped in the training of new teachers for serving the awakening process of many students who have come into this path over the years. Van is one of the original Whole Being Realization Clarifiers.

Van also has a keen interest and devotion towards the Feminine Face of Supreme Divine Being. As such, using the metaphor of the unified field of Totality being one “Cosmic Body of Existence”, he feels that Radiant Supreme Love is the Heart of the “Body”, the Divine Energy-Current is the primal Energy of the “Body”, and both of these are unified with Transcendental Consciousness, which is the fundamental Ground-field of the “Body”.

After having avidly studied and contemplated the Whole Being Evolution Map, Van found a resonance with it, as well as multiple correlations with his own progressive advancements beyond initial Whole Being Realization.

Van was a holistic dentist in San Francisco for 40 years, and in 2018, he retired from dentistry and now lives near beautiful Sedona, Arizona, with his beloved fiancée, Lynn.

Debbie Bailey

DEBI BAILEY became involved in Waking Down/Trillium Awakening in 2013. She felt as though she had come home to herself in all of her deeply flawed and vulnerable humanity. She continues to deepen in the work of Trillium Awakening, had her WBR in 2015, became a Mentor in 2018 and became an Interning Teacher in 2024. It has been a long journey of learning to deeply embrace the perfect imperfection of being human. The hardest and most challenging experiences in her life are also the ones that have provided the most growth. These experiences also help her to have compassion and understanding rather than judgement, allowing her to listen from a place of open heart to create safe space, deep listening and presence to help others explore what is up for them in this moment.
