Twelve Principles for Celestial Psychology®
The Twelve Principles of Celestial Psychology® were developed by Celeste Emelia Mattingly, LCSW, in 2012. They describe the cosmological vision underlying Celestial Psychology® and provide the philosophical foundation from which the later Twelve+ Codes of the Evolutionary Trajectory for Be~coming emerged.
These Twelve Principles of Celestial Psychology® offer a proposed paradigm for understanding human potential and intentional development. They are not presented as doctrines to be accepted, but as propositions to explore, question, contemplate, and test against our own experience. Together, they offer a cosmological and developmental lens through which we might consider who we are, what we are capable of be~coming, and how we consciously participate in that be~coming.
- Human beings are spiritual and energetic, multidimensional beings that embody physicality, with soul agreements and an evolutionary purpose.
- This embodiment is biologically capable of being encoded to upgrade into vessels of infinite cooperation, empathy, compassion, and illumination.
- Human beings heal and evolve—physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually through acts of consciousness-raising, known in CP as Holy Work.
- Holy Work is the conscious integration of evidence-based psychological theoretical frameworks with state-of-the-art holistic and non-traditional, multidimensional spiritual practices, in service of awakening, healing, and evolving.
- Holy Work catalyzes positive behavioral transformation and facilitates quantum leaps in self-actualization, manifestation, coherence, miracles, liberation, psychic powers, luminosity, and states of Oneness.
- Human beings have the free will to choose between love and fear, ego and essence, meliorism or nihilism, paranoia or pronoia.
- Human beings are composed of energy and consciousness, capable of influencing matter through focused intention and thought, making it possible to transform through healing and coherence into luminous states of multidimensional embodiment.
- Spiritual and energetic beings affect one another and the universe through resonance within the energy field known as Zero Point Energy, the Divine Matrix, or the Field of Infinite Possibilities.
- The evolutionary impulse is propelling Homo sapiens toward transformation—birthing new expressions of humanity, including the emergence of Homo-luminous beings.
- The trajectory of evolution moves in an upward spiral, calling forth a new genus of human beings: Supraconscious Creators who embody the awakened intelligence of the cosmos in form.
- Humans are most luminous when in service to one another and to the evolutionary impulse, not from ego, but from essence.
- Celestial Psychology® positions itself as one of the emerging frameworks within the Conscious Evolutive Psychologies—a proposed Fifth Wave of Psychology integrating science, soul, and the sacred art of be~coming.
Editor’s Note (2026):
Since the publication of these original Twelve Principles, Celestial Psychology® has evolved into a two-layer framework:
- The Twelve Principles describe the cosmological vision.
- The Twelve Codes provide the developmental architecture for intentional conscious evolution. They are articulated and beautifully presented in the Living Field Guide Series available on Amazon.
Together they form the complete framework of Celestial Psychology®.
