The
answer is not in books.
It is beyond believing.
It must be experienced.
The
answer is not in the past.
It is not in the future.
It is now.
We
are searching for ourselves
The source of everything.
|
Have. Do.
Be.
Simple
words.
Easy to say.
Hard to live.
Its
a complex problem. We want security. We want love. We want money.
We want to have a lot of things, but before we can “have”
we have to “do” ... take specific actions to acquire
these things. The problem is: we have to “be” a different
person while we’re doing what we do, to have what we want.
Often the way we have to be is not the way we are, but the way
others want us to be.
So
we act out the parts, play the roles and wear the masks...over
and over again.
Over
time, “one develops a false sense
of self in order to survive. After years of acting, performing
and pretending, one’s loses sense of who one really is ...
One’s True Self is numbed out!”
(John Bradshaw)
Simple
question.
Hard to ask.
Wonderful to experience.
We
wonder what the having, doing and being is all about. We ask:
“Is there more to life than this? Is this all there is to
us?”
As
we inquire, we find that once again, just like the roles we took
on, we have believed someone else’s answers. We question
the answers.
We
resolve to know the Truth through our own experience.
Perhaps
you are at this stage in your life ...searching, questioning,
exploring,
wanting to know the truth ...wanting to live more fully...more
from the depth of your true self?
But
it appears, as we continue our search that it only leads down
the same old well-trodden path of "second-hand belief":
following a guru, reading more books, practicing the prescribed
numerous disciplines, meditating for years and hoping that someday
we will arrive at the truth.. Maybe there is another way....Read
on.
The
Enlightenment Intensive is a 3 & 1/2 day workshop
designed to give you the optimal opportunity to become "directly
conscious" of
your true (core) self
and to communicate this to others. “Direct
experience” is synonymous with the terms “illumination”,
“revelation”, “satori” (in Zen), “enlightenment”
or “unitive experience” (psychology).
On
the workshop you will practice a simple and effective method of
self-inquiry that combines the age-old technique of contemplation
with a modern well-tested communication structure. Periods of
sitting, walking, meals, rest and silent meditation are spaced
appropriately within the workshop schedule.
No religious or philosophic belief system is taught. The workshop
leader only gives instruction on the technique and guides you
through any difficulties that occur as you do it.
Remarkably,
the process is estimated to be 50 to 100 times faster than most
classical meditation methods in helping individuals experience
the Truth.
When
enlightenment occurs you become aware of the fact
of your true self, life or another that is simple, obvious and
indisputable. You are enveloped in a sense of unity and completeness.
A profound feeling of peace, contentment and lightness permeates
your body. You feel totally embodied as if you have finally “come
home” to your Self. It is a truly amazing, life altering
event!
Enlightenment
is worth striving for because it is fulfilling
in and of itself. It gives you the ability to be more open and
authentic in relationships, the persistence to accomplish personal
goals, the centeredness to face life’s difficulties and
a greater capacity for joy.
