Welcome To The Mystic's Academy
Welcome To The Mystic's Academy
... At The International Association of Healing Professionals
I recently created a learning space which I have named The Mystic’s Academy.
If you have a deep hunger for the sacred, metaphysics, and inner wisdom you need to know about The Mystic’s Academy. This is where people come to access the secrets of the inner universe.
This is a serious training. Not for the faint of heart, nor new-age tourists, or spiritual materialists.
This is not a place for people who seek to deify or demonize some spiritual teacher. There is no dogma, or obsession here with rites, rituals, ceremonies, altars, trinkets, the clergy, churches, temples, mosques, sacred locations, or so-called Holy books.
Where do I, Lewis Harrison fit into all of this? I was minding my own business, walking my spiritual path, when people started asking me to teach them what I knew.
Now I have a love for spiritual knowledge and mystic wisdom, but little interest in gurus, ashrams, disciples, and superficial “culty” stuff.
I like to call myself a Sherpa who can guide a person to reach the Mountain Everest of their life and spiritual quest.
Yet I do love to teach and people were asking me to do just that.
What is Mysticism?
Mysticism is a process where thought, where, and deed are applied so that an individual can become one with that which is Divine. It may also refer to any kind of altered state of consciousness (Lucid Dreaming, Astral Projection, Inner Explorations, or an ecstatic experience that is given a spiritual meaning).
Mysticism may also refer to the attainment of insight into hidden or ultimate truths.
At The Mystic’s Academy which is part of the International Association of Healing Professionals, we are concerned with a type of human transformation supported by various non-dogmatic practices and experiences.
So I got together with my peers at the International Association of Healing Professionals and organized a basic structure for the program in Mystic Studies.
What Happens in This Personalized Program
You begin working with me, and if the need arises you may also work under the guidance of my personally chosen faculty.
The faculty of the Academy is composed of mystic visionaries who help others to enter the inner realms and fulfill and manifest their dreams.
The faculty at the Academy is composed of extraordinary individuals. They are quick-thinking, passionate, and generous with a deep appreciation of delayed gratification.
Our faculty members know how to:
• Ask the right questions, listen and speak, and when it is best to speak.
• Empathize with the conflicts of their apprentices while maintaining professional and effective boundaries.
• Refer an apprentice/student to another faculty member with more appropriate skills if necessary.
• Apply strong critical thinking skills and are consciously respectful of the religious and faith-based beliefs, and never make assumptions based on age, gender, culture, ethnicity, sexual orientation, spiritual awareness, and abilities of their apprentices/students.
Our faculty members have a history of their failures and successes and knowledge of using the lessons they have learned to effectively overcome a variety of worldly and spiritual obstacles.
Our Faculty Members Are Particularly Effective Because They Offer Their Apprentices/Students.
• A regular and consistent system for self-assessment.
• A system for building a strong personal foundation.
• A process for determining what an apprentice/student really wants.
• Assistance in setting believable and achievable goals.
• Support in defining values, beliefs, and personal style.
• Guidelines for developing an active game plan/mystic routine for all their current and long-term goals and dreams.
• Assessment skills for measuring personal progress.
Why Is It Important To Have A Living Mystic Guide
Anyone looking to get to the next step in life will seek out a guide. With rare exceptions anyone exploring the spiritual life, no matter what the tradition may be, started with a guide of some type.
All of my influences, many of whom I studied with personally had some type of mentor.
Would you want a pilot flying a plane you were a passenger on who was never trained properly?
Would you want to sit in a dental chair with a dentist who never went to dental school?
Why do some people go into the deeper realms without a guide or mentor insisting that they are ”fine” and don’t require a mentor or a coach, even when they get into mental, emotional, or spiritual “trouble”?
It is only the most ordinary person, a person of limited vision, a person whose life is filled with unnecessary struggle, and suffering, and wants to keep it that way, who believes he or she can enter the realm of mystic knowledge and wisdom without the services of a professional advisor or guide.
I want to ask you an essential question about your life at this moment. Are you ordinary or are you extraordinary?
· Are you on a spiritual or mystic journey?
· Are you presently working with a physical guide in the material world?
If you are not, and you can see the value of having a mystic guide, mentor, or teacher then read on…
What Are The Benefits Of Studying At The Mystic’s Academy
Support in taking the next step, motivation, inspiration, information, influence, greater effectiveness, freedom, clarity, spiritual focus, better health, validation, networking resources, expert advice. Studying At The Mystic’s Academy can result in some or all of these things depending on the clarity of your intention, the wisdom of your desired outcome, and your commitment process.
To get the most out of your training you must be ready, willing, and able to take action and experiment along the way.
If you are ready, our personalized, and individualized programs can assist you in discerning:
What is going on, and why?
Where are you developmentally?
What specific help is needed?
What choices to make daily, and what routines to embrace to help you to achieve greater mystic awareness?
What Makes The Training At The Mystic’s Academy Unique?
It is based on a system known as The Harrison Process. This is a system of Life and Mystic Mentoring that integrates the emotions, the body, and the spirit.
I began my studies over fifty years ago. Over the years, I have observed the expansion of greatness taking place among my peers under the influence of extraordinary living guides.
The Mystic Training Program at the Academy is a system that gracefully integrates many ideas, practices, and tools specifically in the areas of mystic awareness.
We do not teach one specific technique or process. It is, as the name implies, a process that integrates many techniques into a unique template. It is a template that allows many different systems to work in unison without unnecessary tension and conflict. One might define our approach as a “unified theory” for human potential and mystic wisdom.
This unique approach of mentoring and mystic guidance brings the concept of self-knowledge to the ordinary person seeking to become extraordinary. Our process enables the apprentice/student to move forward safely when it is most needed.
In addition to the manifestation process that unfolds through personalized guided routines, and personal mentor/ apprentices/student meetings on ZOOM or Facebook Messenger, personalized lessons are sent to the apprentice/student, based on a weekly or even daily process of questions and answers. This process is a combination of the traditional Asian, Talmudic, and Socratic approaches to the teacher /apprentice/student dialogue.
Are You Ready To Rise To The Next Level?
The material you will be learning with me will have repercussions for various dimensions of your life. I encourage my apprentice/students to:
1. think critically,
2. grow creatively,
3. Meditate, contemplate and introspect,
4. …and expand intuition and wisdom.
These four skill sets, more than any others, help define what makes a person a self-aware mystic!
This cannot happen in an environment limited to rites, rituals, empty ceremonies, intellectual learning, homework, and quizzes.
I love to guide, motivate, and inspire my apprentice/ students to “shine” with ever-greater levels of love, kindness, compassion, empathy, wisdom, goodness, appreciation of beauty, competence at some level, gratitude, patience, and spiritual surrender.
The mentoring style we have developed at The Mystic Academy (within the International Association of Healing Professionals) is among the most direct routes to achieving this result.
How Is This Approach Different From Psychotherapy?
What we offer is Life, Spiritual, and Human Potential Training. It has nothing to do with psychotherapy.
Our program is likely not appropriate for an individual dealing with serious mental and emotional challenges, or who is on medication for mental health issues.
Let’s Go Deeper Here
For the most part, psychiatry, psychology, and psychotherapy work at uncovering the psychological and emotional roots of various diagnosable disorders and issues to enable a patient to move forward. To be a mental health professional requires a license, a grasp of complex psychological theories, and an in-depth clinical background. Unless specifically trained to do so even the best coach. Or mystic mentors will lack the necessary skills to address these types of mental and emotional problems.
If the psychological arts and sciences, and the Mystic Academy, have anything in common it is that the intention of both is to help the individual discover ways to be more PEEPPASA (Practical, Effective, Efficient, Productive, Precise, Accurate, and Self-aware) in the world.
There are, of course, many different mystic traditions, as there are many types of therapy, and at times, they may move closely on parallel paths, as many things in life do.
What a competent mystic guide seeks to do is offer an opportunity for the student/apprentice to take the next step on their inner journey with guidance and support. The best mystic guides offer many options, ranging from short-term, results-oriented approaches to long-term, process-oriented mentoring.
What Can Studying at the Mystic’s Academy Help A Student/Apprentice To Accomplish?
Our program takes an individual with a mystic hunger and initiates them into a process where a transformation takes place. A transforming of:
Being Alone to Having Community
Being Right to Being Happy
Observing to Participating
Procrastination to Action
Seduction to Attraction
Knowledge to Wisdom
Scarcity to Abundance
Chaos to Organization
Confusion to Clarity
Disease to Wellness
Failure to Success
Delusion to Truth
Struggles to Ease
Fear to Love
Through our faculty’s tool chest of experience, advice, techniques, distinctions, solutions, and inner wisdom our students/apprentices learn to live a life of meaning, contentment, peace, and harmony.
