Understanding Metaconsciousness for Personal Growth

Posted on by Allan Johnson in Observations

At this time of year, I always notice a subtle change in the quality of my attention. The external world doesn’t necessarily slow down, but something inwardly does. Even the light feels different. Darker, yes, but also more permeable. I’ve been feeling that contrast keenly over the last few weeks, particularly as I prepare for the turn into a new year.

It’s also been on my mind recently while reading Kate Atkinson’s Festive Spirits for my local book club’s Christmas meeting. Atkinson’s stories, playful and unsettling in equal measure, brush up against the unseen dimensions of experience without making grand metaphysical claims. They hover at the threshold. That, in its own way, is where much of my thinking about superconsciousness currently lives: not as an abstract spiritual pinnacle, but as a working edge of awareness that we keep rediscovering in different vocabularies.

In my last book and in much of my recent teaching, I’ve returned again and again to the idea that a large proportion of what we call “consciousness” is, in fact, automatic. It is hormonal, patterned, reactive, efficient. William James hinted at this more than a century ago when he described habit as the “enormous fly-wheel of society.” Freud, in his own way, mapped the vast subterranean machinery of the psyche. Contemporary neuroscience has largely confirmed what contemplative traditions have long suggested: most of what we do, think, and feel happens before we decide.

This is where the idea of metaconsciousness becomes so important, the capacity to notice that we are being moved by processes that are not, in any simple sense, “us.” It is the moment when you realise you are mid-reaction and something in you steps back just enough to witness it. Not to suppress it. Not to spiritualise it. Just to see.

But superconsciousness, as I’m increasingly working with it, points to something slightly different again. It is not merely awareness of the machinery. It is awareness that is not exclusively organised by the machinery at all. It gestures toward a dimension of mind that is less bound to survival, identity maintenance, or historical conditioning. Roberto Assagioli—whose work in psychosynthesis continues to shape my own—described the superconscious as the source of creativity, meaning, ethical insight, and transpersonal experience. Not an escape from the human, but its latent extension.

One of the things I’ve become more cautious about over the years is how easily “human potential” gets packaged as something to be maximised, extracted, or branded. The language of fulfilment can slide so quickly into performance metrics. Abraham Maslow’s later writings—often neglected in organisational culture—are far more subtle than his pyramid suggests. Self-actualisation, for Maslow, was never a static achievement, but an ongoing alignment with what is most alive and truthful in us.

Superconsciousness names a direction of travel, not a finish line.

In my own life, this shows up less in fireworks and more in micro-adjustments: choosing not to override tiredness with willpower; noticing when the body says no long before the intellect catches up; letting an idea take months instead of forcing it into productivity. It shows up in teaching too—in learning when not to fill the silence, when to let a group sit with not-knowing.

Even reading Festive Spirits this December has felt like a small act of this alignment. In between sessions, planning for the new year, and working with clients, sitting with a beautifully written short story by the fire (or, more accurately, a very convincing YouTube fire) has felt like a reminder that imagination itself is a superconscious faculty. We don’t manufacture it. We host it.

There is a tendency to associate higher states of awareness with peak experiences: mystical visions, altered states, moments of transcendence. And certainly, those exist. But what interests me far more now is how the superconscious expresses itself in the ordinary:

  • In ethical instincts that arise before rational justification
  • In sudden creative insight that reorganises months of confused thinking
  • In moments of compassion that interrupt long-established narratives about self and other
  • In the quiet certainty that a particular season of life has ended—even when nothing dramatic has occurred

This is not about becoming perfect. It is about becoming less confined.

I notice that many of the people I work with—particularly academics, creatives, and reflective professionals—are weary not because they lack insight, but because their insight has nowhere to land. They understand their patterns. They often know exactly where those patterns came from. But knowing is not the same as reorganising the centre of gravity from which one lives.

Superconsciousness, in this sense, is not an abstract spiritual add-on. It is deeply practical. It changes: how decisions are made, what counts as success, how time is experienced, where authority is located.

And perhaps most importantly, it reshapes the relationship between effort and surrender. Not everything meaningful can be solved through optimisation.

As this year draws to a close, I find myself more attuned than usual to thresholds between exhaustion and renewal, between endings and beginnings, between old strategies and new capacities for trust. This is exactly the territory that both my coaching work and my group workshops increasingly inhabit: not self-improvement as escalation, but re-orientation.

If this reflection resonates, there are a few gentle ways to continue the conversation:

Superconsciousness, for me, is no longer a speculative peak. It is a daily negotiation between who I have been conditioned to be, who I consciously try to be, and who sometimes appears unannounced in moments of clarity, creativity, or courage. It does not always feel elevated. Often it feels quiet. Sometimes inconvenient. Occasionally unmistakably right.

And perhaps that, more than anything, is the true measure of human potential: not how high we rise, but how deeply we learn to listen.

Reveal, Repattern, Realign: The Structure Beneath The Art of Creative Practice

Posted on by Allan Johnson in coaching, creativity
Photo by fauxels on Pexels.com

From the outside, The Art of Creative Practice can look like many different things at once. Writing programmes. Creative challenges. Emotional inquiry. Somatic awareness. Community spaces. Workshops on purpose, planning, and creating change. People arrive through different doorways, often drawn by whatever thread they most need at that moment.

But beneath that variety, the work is not fragmented. There is a single, consistent developmental movement running through all of our community events that mirrors how real change actually unfolds when it’s allowed to be both deep and sustainable:

  • Reveal: Understanding what’s really going on inside you
  • Repattern: Changing the beliefs and habits that keep you stuck
  • Realign: Living day-to-day in a way that matches your new clarity

They aren’t phases you complete once and leave behind. They form a cycle you return to again and again, at deeper levels, in different seasons of your life. Each time, the same essential work is happening: learning to see more truly, loosening what no longer serves, and allowing your life to reorganise around what has been clarified.

Reveal: Learning to See What Is Already Operating

Most people arrive at personal development through friction. Something isn’t working. They feel stuck, scattered, overextended, creatively blocked, emotionally fatigued. The instinct is usually to begin at the level of behaviour—to become more disciplined, more organised, more strategic. Sometimes that helps. Often it doesn’t last.

The reason is simple and quietly unsettling: much of what governs our lives is happening below the level of conscious choice.

This is why the first movement of the work is always Reveal.

This phase is about learning to see yourself accurately, beneath the surface narratives, self-concepts, and coping strategies. It’s about developing the capacity to notice:

  • What’s really happening in your inner world
  • Which part of you is leading at any given moment
  • What patterns are operating automatically beneath conscious choice

This is where the Three Centres of Intelligence come in:

  • Mind (thinking, analysing, strategising)
  • Emotions (feeling, relating, meaning-making)
  • Body (instinct, boundaries, survival, grounded presence)

Most of us don’t live from all three; we over-identify with one. And when we do, we start mistaking a single mode of intelligence for our whole identity. The overthinking mind. The emotionally over-responsible heart. The hyper-protective body.

Reveal is the slow cultivation of inner perception. It’s where we begin to notice what is actually happening inside us, not what we think should be happening.

Many people discover, with a mix of relief and disorientation, that they have been living almost entirely from one centre. The mind that never stops scanning and solving. The heart that absorbs, adapts, and over-responsibilises. The body that stays braced, alert, protective, long after the original threat has passed.

From there, we move into the language of subpersonalities or roles like the Planner, the Helper, the Protector, the Achiever, the Peacemaker, the Lone Wolf. These roles aren’t problems to be eliminated; they are survival strategies that once made deep sense. But when they run unconsciously, they run our lives.

Reveal is the phase where we stop asking “What’s wrong with me?”
And start asking, “What part of me is running the show right now?”

Reveal is not about judging these roles. It is about finally being able to see them as parts of us, rather than the totality of who we are. That shift alone often begins to release enormous pressure.

You cannot change what you cannot see. Reveal is where the seeing begins.

Repattern: When Insight Is No Longer Enough

There is a particular kind of frustration that arises once you can see your patterns clearly—but still find yourself repeating them. You understand your dynamics. You can name the role that has taken over. You can track your reflexes in real time. And yet, in the moment when it matters, the old response still arrives first.

This is where Repatterning begins.

Repatterning is not willpower layered on top of unchanged inner architecture. It is the slower, more intimate work of changing what the nervous system expects, what the emotional system anticipates, and what the psyche assumes must happen in order for you to be safe, valued, or allowed to rest.

Repatterning means working at the level of:

  • Beliefs
  • Emotional reflexes
  • Somatic habits
  • Inner rules about safety, worth, responsibility, success, and failure

Much of this work happens sideways rather than head-on. Through daily practices that reintroduce choice where compulsion once lived. Through creative process that allows the unconscious to reorganise without being forced. Through embodied attention that teaches the body it is no longer living in yesterday’s emergency. Through relational spaces where you are met differently than you were before, again and again, until something inside you begins to trust a new pattern.

In the ACP ecosystem, repatterning happens through:

  • Repeated daily practices
  • Structured reflection
  • Creative processing
  • Embodied awareness
  • Relational feedback inside contained group spaces

This is where the work becomes transformative rather than interpretive. Repatterning is not about becoming someone else. It’s about freeing energy that has been locked into outdated inner contracts. This phase is often uncomfortable, not because something is wrong, but because something real is changing.

Realign: Letting Your Life Catch Up With You

One of the quiet tragedies of inner work is that people often change internally while their external lives remain structurally unchanged. They become clearer, steadier, more honest with themselves—and then return to schedules, relationships, and creative arrangements that require them to abandon that clarity every day.

This is why the third movement, Realign, matters so much. Realignment is where insight and identity translate into:

  • What you prioritise, release, and commit to
  • How you structure your days
  • What you say yes and no to
  • How you work, relate, rest, and create

Realignment is where insight becomes visible in how you actually live. Not as a performance of alignment, but as a series of grounded, often difficult choices that slowly bring your outer life into correspondence with your inner truth. It shows up in how you set limits. In how you organise your working life. In how you relate to time, money, obligation, rest, ambition, and care. In what you agree to carry and what you finally allow yourself to set down.

Realignment is not a destination. It is a continual process, but over time, if it is tended to carefully, something unmistakable happens: your life begins to feel less divided against itself.

How the ACP Structure Mirrors This Arc

This rhythm of Reveal, Repattern, and Realign is quietly built into the structure of The Art of Creative Practice itself.

The weekly Integrative Meditation classes sit at the threshold between Reveal and Repattern. Week by week, they train the capacity to notice what is actually present—sensation, emotion, mental tone, inner movement—without rushing to alter it. This is Reveal in its most direct form: learning to stay with what is real. At the same time, something subtler is already beginning to shift. Through repetition, nervous system settling, and the gradual unwinding of reflexive tension, repatterning is quietly underway. New internal rhythms are being laid down beneath conscious effort.

The Challenges move more decisively into the territory of Repatterning. These are the focused immersions where insight is actively worked with rather than simply observed. Beliefs are questioned. Habits are disrupted. Roles are brought into the light and gently reorganised. The container is temporary but the changes it initiates often continue long after the formal structure ends.

And then there are the Workshops, which tend to lean most explicitly toward Realignment. This is where inner change is brought into direct conversation with the actual architecture of daily life. How you live. How you work. How you create. How you rest. How you structure your commitments and define success on your own terms. Workshops are not primarily about insight—they are about translation. About letting what has shifted internally begin to reshape the external life that must now hold it.

Seen this way, the weekly classes, the periodic challenges, and the deeper workshops are not separate offerings. They are different temporal expressions of the same developmental current. One slows perception. One reshapes pattern. One reorganises life.

People often enter The Art of Creative Practice thinking they are coming for one specific thing: writing, creativity, emotional clarity, steadiness, purpose. And they do receive that. But what they often discover, sometimes only in retrospect, is that they have also entered a larger developmental rhythm.

Each offering is not a standalone technique. It is a different expression of the same underlying movement:

  • Reveal what is actually present.
  • Repattern what has become rigid or automatic.
  • Realign how you live in response to what has changed.

This is why the work is cumulative. At its core, The Art of Creative Practice is not about self-improvement in the performative sense. It is about integration. About learning to live from a steadier centre of gravity. About becoming less fragmented, less driven by unconscious contracts, less at war with yourself.

This is slow work. But it is reliable. And over time, it produces something quietly radical: a life that begins to move as a single, coherent whole.

If this way of working speaks to you, the Five-Day Soul Map Challenge is the most direct and accessible way to step into it.

Across five gently structured days, you’ll be guided through the arc of Reveal, Repattern, and Realign in immediate, lived ways. You’ll begin by noticing the roles you’ve learned to inhabit, trace the deeper threads of your purpose, reflect on how struggle has shaped you, and clarify what it means to live from inner alignment rather than habit or pressure. I look forward to seeing you there!

Filling the Well: Notes from Sabbatical

Posted on by Allan Johnson in academia, Observations

My research sabbatical is coming to an end, and while I have made a lot of good progress on my next book, I’ve also been delighted by the sublter transformations that I’ve encountered. Alongside the core research for my new projects— on occult print culture and the strange fidelities between intimacy and texts—I’ve been tending to what Julia Cameron calls ‘the well,’ that source of creative inspiration. I’ve been learning to slow down enough to explore new skills, curiosities, and dormant longings to surface. Some of these pursuits are practical; some are contemplative; most sit somewhere between the two.

I began to practice bookbinding because I wanted to understand, physically, how a book hangs together. Working on the history of grimoires and the materiality of printed esoterica, I kept returning to the question: what does a book know about itself? Researchers like Owen Davies point toward the intimate entanglement between form and authority; grimoires weren’t just texts but talismanic objects, their legitimacy often communicated through their very construction.

But it wasn’t until I stitched my first pamphlet binding and felt the click of thread against paper that I understood this not just intellectually but bodily. Bookbinding slows you down to a new tempo. You can’t rush glue or the slow process of folding signatures. There’s something beautifully therapeutic about it.

I’ve also been learning how to brew coffee properly, an unexpectedly transformative discipline. It started with a simple desire to make better morning coffee to get me going (how often do we think of coffee just as an efficient way to get caffeine into our bloodstream?), but quickly became an experiment in sensory calibration. James Hoffmann’s work has been a guide and inspiration here. Grind size, water temperature, bloom time: they are all micro-decisions that shape experience. Becoming more attentive to them has become vital to my routine and daily practice. Sometimes the most powerful shift comes not from a grand reinvention but from learning a new ratio, a better rhythm, a different pour.

Then there is printmaking, a new art form that I have started experimenting with more recently. Monoprints, drypoint printing, and marbling all resist control in the most generative ways. They feel like metaphors for this sabbatical as a whole: you set the conditions, choose your pigments, prepare your plate, but the final print is something all its own, often capturing what Bob Ross would call ‘happy little accidents’. Printmaking is a collaboration between matter and intention, process and surrender. Some pieces are simply meant to exist only once, a reassuring thought for someone trained to measure impact in citations, outputs, and REF cycles.

One of the surprising discoveries of sabbatical is how porous the boundaries are between ‘hobby’ and ‘research’, ‘craft’ and ‘scholarship’, ‘practice’ and ‘life’. The old binaries feel increasingly unconvincing. My work on the ethics of mail-order occultism has been deepened by physically making books. My exploration of attachment in modernist literature has been illuminated by tactile processes that centre contact, negotiation, and impression. Even the coffee—humble as it seems—has become a way of thinking about attention as a moral resource.

There is also, I suspect, something about mid-career tenderness here: the desire to re-inhabit one’s own curiosity after years of professional responsibility. Sabbatical hasn’t been a retreat from work but a reorientation toward it. The crafts have been steadying companions, teaching me to show up with less armour and more texture.

This is the energy I’m carrying into 2026, both in my writing and in the programmes I’m designing: embodied creativity, and forms of inner work that feel supportive rather than ascetic. A year of root systems rather than resolutions.

None of these practices—bookbinding, coffee brewing, marbling—were part of my planned sabbatical. They arrived almost incidentally, small doorways into a quieter kind of learning. But they’ve become some of the most meaningful teachers of this season. They’ve encouraged me to be a little less polished, a little more porous, and to remember that knowledge doesn’t only live in the mind.

700 Members and Counting: Celebrating Our Creative Community and What Lies Ahead

Posted on by Allan Johnson in creativity, Observations

As autumn settles in, the nights are growing long and dark, and there’s a certain stillness in the air that invites reflection. I’m delighted to share that the Art of Creative Practice Meetup group has now passed 700 members in just two months (we also have a 4.9 star rating with 83 reviews, and I am so grateful to everyone who has shared their comments and reviews)! What a privilege it has been walking this journey with all of you! If you haven’t had a chance to join one of our meetups yet, please do because we look forward to meeting you and getting a chance to welcome you to our community!

For me, this season is also one of personal transition. I’m preparing to move to a new flat next year, a beautiful historic 1930s building I’m excited about, even if I never enjoy the actual moving process. I’m taking a few days away this week to recharge, but all of our usual events will continue as normal, including the Course in Miracles Study Group on Sunday night and our weekly co-working sessions on Monday morning.

We’re also now two months into the 12-week Artist’s Way Circle, and the depth and richness that has formed in that group continues to amaze me! Creative work is often solitary, but our collective spaces are where trust, care, and connection flourish. It’s in these spaces that we learn how to sustain ourselves as creatives, balancing the solitary labour of creation with the nourishment of community (if you didn’t get a chance to join the Artist’s Way Circle this year, I hope that we will be able to offer the opportunity again next year!).

The upcoming Five-Day Soul Map Challenge, running from December 8th to December 12th builds on these ideas, offering a structured pathway to align with creative and personal priorities. A central focus of the challenge is an exploration of what are called subpersonalities, the psychological term for the masks and personas we all have. Many of these voices serve useful purposes, but they can also pull us in conflicting directions or keep us stuck.

Alongside this, the challenge works with what are called mind/body/emotion centres. Many of us operate instinctively from one centre—our thoughts, our feelings, or our physical impulses—but rarely from all three. In the Challenge, you’ll explore what it feels like to operate from each centre and discover the balance you need to make aligned choices, manage energy, and move forward with clarity.

The Challenge also introduces a number of powerful, brand-new tools that I can’t wait to share with you! They are designed to reveal hidden patterns, release blocks, and help you translate insight into tangible action.

To give you a taste of the work, I’m hosting a free Inner Alchemy workshop on December 1st. This powerful session introduces some of these tools, demonstrates how they work, and lets you experience the impact they can make in your creative practice before committing to the full five days.

Even as the nights grow longer and the world slows down, the creative work continues, both in the quiet of your studio and in the shared spaces we cultivate together. Whether it’s our Study Group, co-working sessions, or the Soul Map Challenge, these gatherings are where reflection meets action, insight meets support, and the solitary and communal aspects of creativity meet in balance.

The coming year holds enormous potential for you all, and I feel deeply privileged to walk alongside all of you on this journey. I can’t wait to see how 2026 unfolds!

Why Slowness Is a Radical Act in Scholarship and Life

Posted on by Allan Johnson in Observations

As I near the end of my sabbatical—a season shaped by long writing days, quiet walks, and a study of mail-order esoteric courses in early twentieth-century America—I’ve been thinking a great deal about pace. Not productivity, not efficiency, but the rhythm of attention itself: how we move through our days, what we notice, and what we let notice us.

Over the past months, I’ve been immersed in the strange, fascinating world of early twentieth-century mail-order esoteric courses. The book I’ve been writing on this traces how these correspondence schools turned spiritual transformation into a kind of mediated intimacy, bringing occult wisdom into the homes of readers far from established centres of learning. It’s a history of aspiration and longing, but also of slowness. Students would wait weeks for lessons to arrive, copy out exercises by hand, and post back reflections to a distant mentor. Transformation was not instant. In that waiting, something profound happened: learning became devotional.

That realization has accompanied me through this autumn, which we celebrated with our small Samhain ritual—watching Hocus Pocus I & II by candlelight, gathering fallen leaves, and covering them with ink and pressing them onto paper to make monoprints. There was a childlike magic in it: the squelch of the sticky ink, the soft squeaky rolling of the brayer, the moment when the paper lifted to reveal the print. It struck me how close this is to scholarship at its best: slow, embodied, receptive. The act of noticing—whether in art, research, or life—cannot be rushed.

Our institutions, however, are built on speed. Academia, once imagined as a monastery of thought, now too often resembles an airport: loud, transactional, and defined by transit rather than presence. We are rewarded for throughput—papers, metrics, outputs—while the invisible labor of thinking, gestating, waiting is quietly devalued.

Philosopher Byung-Chul Han calls this “the burnout society”: a culture of hyperactivity that mistakes motion for meaning. Similarly, Jenny Odell’s How to Do Nothing (2019) reminds us that attention is not a private resource but an ecological one. How we attend to the world shapes the world itself, and to be slow is, in this sense, to resist.

Slowness allows the possibility of depth. When I teach, I often tell students that thinking is not something we do; it’s something we undergo. Insight arrives in its own time, not on schedule. When we move too fast, we interrupt the very process that might save us—from shallowness, from reactivity, from the illusion that our worth depends on our output.

This past year has been less about producing words and more about unlearning the compulsion to be constantly doing something. Writing about mail-order mysticism has only intensified that awareness. Students were told that true understanding could not be forced; each lesson would reveal itself “in due time.”

That phrase—in due time—has become a quiet mantra for me.

There were days this autumn when the words wouldn’t come, when the archival material felt stubbornly opaque. But I began to notice something else happening beneath the surface: a subtle attunement to pattern, rhythm, and resonance. I realised that my task wasn’t to force insight but to cultivate the conditions in which it might emerge.

The same principle lies at the heart of A Course in Miracles, which I’ll be exploring in my upcoming workshop, “Practical Miracles: Practicing the Course Beyond the Book” (Saturday, November 8th, 2–5pm GMT). In our fast-moving world, even spirituality can become hurried: one more thing to optimise, one more practice to master. But true practice, like true scholarship, begins with slowing down. It’s the decision to notice what’s really happening in the moment you’re already in.

During the workshop, we’ll work with simple, repeatable tools for applying this awareness in daily life: at work, in relationships, and especially in moments of frustration or overwhelm. If that sounds abstract, think again of the leaf print: the slowness of laying down ink, the patience of pressing, the surprise of revelation. That’s what a miracle is—a new image of reality emerging from the same material, seen through the quiet lens of love.

As I prepare to return from sabbatical to the rhythm of teaching and service, I’m reflecting on how to carry this slowness with me. I suspect the answer isn’t in withdrawing from the world but in moving through it differently: walking rather than rushing, listening rather than reacting, leaving unscheduled time for what Thomas Merton called “the hidden wholeness.”Slowness doesn’t mean stagnation. It means aligning with the tempo of reality itself, which, as nature reminds us, is cyclical, not linear. Leaves fall; the soil rests; then, without effort, new life begins. Our task is not to speed the process but to be faithful to it.

If we can do that—in writing, in teaching, in love—we might rediscover a form of productivity that isn’t extractive but regenerative. A scholarship that nourishes rather than depletes. A spirituality that unfolds rather than performs. This, to me, is what makes slowness radical: it reclaims our humanity. It reminds us that attention is sacred, that thought takes time, and that the most transformative acts are often the quietest ones.

If that resonates, I’d love you to join me for Practical Miracles: Practicing the Course Beyond the Book this Saturday. Together, we’ll explore how to live from a place of peace and guidance, even when life moves quickly. Because ultimately, the miracle isn’t found in escaping the world’s pace—it’s found in learning to move through it with grace.

You can learn more and register through the Living A Course in Miracles group on Meetup. And if you’re drawn to the work but cost is a barrier, please reach out. We’ll find a way.
