THOMAS HÜBL - Approach and Methods
Thomas Hübl takes people to deeper dimensions of their presence, self-awareness and individual responsibility with extraordinary sensitivity. His aim is for people to transcend their ego-centered worldview in their development, and to achieve an authentic expression of their own selves.
His "sharing the presence" events are invitations to a challenging practice: to practice presence, mindfulness and interpersonal clarity during every moment of life. In this life-practice, which is exercised 24/7, people learn to question their habitual feeling of self, enter into new spaces of consciousness and, based on this experience and in cooperation with others, create new structures of relating to each other.
An important part of Thomas’ work consists of integration: we are enabled to perceive for the first time those intelligent parts of ourselves which could not be cultivated or be cultivated fully, now allowing them to be further developed. Integration work means growing up. A central aspect of the approach is the development of the potential of individuals and groups: the recognition of our full possibilities from which we can act. As humans we are able to receive through our own intuition all the information that is needed to become inspired in our own future potential, and thereby to create our own present.
The most important area of Thomas’ work is the mystical dimension: the recognition of the superconscious dimensions of our selves. Here people may transcend their habitual understanding of reality and the practiced image of who-they-are through mystical practice. They may experience the ultimate, all encompassing reality: a space of not knowing in which the complete knowledge of the world appears and cosmic intelligence takes effect.
In his work, Thomas uses various tools that he has developed or developed further. The most important are Transparent Communication and various forms of mystical practice, such as silence, meditation, contemplation and prayer.
Transparent Communication
Transparent Communication is an empathic form of communication with a transpersonal component that is a very effective tool for integration work and the development of potential. Thomas Hübl uses Transparent Communication in his work with individuals as well as with large groups.
In Transparent Communication, the discussion partners deepen their awareness and perceive unconscious and superconscious information from within themselves, their communication partner and the space in-between them. They perceive their own thoughts, emotions and body sensations and those of their counterpart, as well as further information from the space which is also included in their experience. It becomes possible to consciously access their inner world and that of their partner. The conversation does not focus on symptoms; instead, it captures the essence of what wants to be expressed.
Transparent Communication can also occur non-verbally, for example when dancing in very conscious contact with one's dance partner. The participants in Thomas Hübl's events and trainings practice this form of communication. By now there are practice groups for Transparent Communication in many cities in German-speaking countries. Interpersonal clarification work through Transparent Communication facilitates mystical practice, since people who to a large extent have transcended their personality structure are less caught in their ego-oriented contractions.
Mystical Practice
Mystical practice is the main focus of Thomas’ work. Identification with the habitual self-images of individuals and groups can be dissolved. The usual feeling of a self that is separate from that of others is transcended. In his mystical work, Thomas especially uses silence, sound meditation (toning), contemplation and prayer.
During meditation, the collective consciousness of the group increases, allowing for a deeper perception of reality. The events in life can be seen from a higher perspective, making it possible to recognize entanglements and patterns of events. One learns to look ‘behind the scenes’ of everyday concrete things and experiences.
