30-Day Journey To Enlightenment

On this first day, I will introduce you to the course and give you some basic tips so that you can enjoy it. I will also give you some tips to avoid getting lost in traps so that you can evolve in the best way possible. Thank you.

On this day, I will teach you how to practice the presence of awareness and I will show you that awareness is the background of all experiences, no matter what they are, awareness is the context of all experience. Gratitude.

Now, we will delve into the nature of witnessing awareness as spacious empty presence. As we do this, we allot all thoughts, feelings, ideas, and mental images to be as they are. Thank you a lot. See you on the course.

Now that we've rested in the spacious and empty nature of awareness, we are going to explore a further aspect of witnessing awareness: presence of being. This will be a beautiful practice. Thank you a lot.

In toda's practise we are going to abide in the I AM- rest in who we are prior to all thought - created personal identiities. WE generally define ourselves through the thoughts we have about ourselves, but thoughts are nothing more than thoughts. Lets dive in. Thank you

At this point of the Course, we define Being as our fundamental sense of I AM - the couscious ,spacious, empty presence of formless awareness that we are. This is the formless nature of our true being. HAve a good practice. Thank you

Now we explore the deep silence and knowing of awareness shining as the true nature of your being. As you practice this, you'll being by letting go of intentional thinking while leaving spontaneous, unintentional thought complety alone. Thank you

For the purpose of this first aspect of the course - awakening to our true nature as the formless being of awareness - the words awareness and being can be used interchangeably because the truth of our being is like open, spacious and empty awareness. Thank you

Awareness has a Heart. This heart isn't characterized by affective emotions; it's an intuitive capacity for percieving the unity of existence out of which flows boundless and unconditional love. Thank you .

Here we focus on enlivening the Spiritual heart so that we may abide or rest in it. The heart is not only a feeling center, it is a perceptual center as well. Enlivening the heart center is not a matter of having a big, powerful feelings or emotions. Thank you

Beyond the emotional heart as the center for feelings and reactions, the spiritual heart is a peceptual center that lies dormant in most human beings. A consequence of various forms of emotional wounding is that we tend to both close the emotional heart to some degree as well as turn away from the spiritual heart at some point in the childhood as a form of self-protection.

Imagine that all existence, all forms of life are nothing but condensed energy. While there is good scientific evidence for this , i am not concerned here with metaphysical speculation as much as i am with using the term energy to evoke the latent ability within us all to understand unity. Thank you.

Zen Buddhism Teach us, ''This very bodyis the Buddha.'' This means that the true nature of form, including your physical body, is the body of reality. The face of God is the sky above and the ground underfoot as well as the vast reaches of time and space. Thank you

The human heart that closes and seeks to open again is housed within the spiritual heart. The spritual heart is boudless like the sky and ever-present like the air we breathe. I wish you a nice practice. Thank you.

Each human being is an embodiment of the paradox of Being and becoming or evoling. From the view of awakened Being, there is nothing but wholeness and completeness wherein everything and everyone is an expression of Being. Thank you

To beging awakening the divine ground of being, we establish the anchor of the breath. It is important when diving into the deepest dimesnions of our being that we establish something to which we can secure our experience. Let's practice that today. Thank you

The First experiential hints of the ground of being are the experience of aloneness, of silence and stillness. This aloneness is different from loneliness; it is the aloneness beyond self. Thank you and have a nice practice.

Once we have opened to the silence of the Ground of being, we center on letting go of any and all self-descriptions -even those that may be reflective of some past insight or awakening. Thank you! Wish you the best.

The direct Way practice are not techniques; they are guides for plunging the awreness into the mystery of Being. This plunge into the dazzling dark of our being requires an intuitive leap of love. Wish you a nice practice. Thank you

The paradox of contemplative insight is that we come to a flowering of new identity by emptying ourselves of our old identity. This emptying is not something we do, it is something we allow to happen. Thank you

The profound, ungraspable, and invisible Ground of being is attained by non-attainment, by letting go and letting be. Nothing is added to us; rather, we awaken to our always and already present ground and source. Thank you.

The Divine Ground is the source nature of one's Being. It is all-transcendent and unkowing knowledge. The divine ground is unknown in three senses: First, it is noumenon, or beyond all sence perception. Second, because it is our essential nature. Third, the divine ground is prior to the arising of self-reflective consciousness. Thank you

Let's practice what it means to take the one seat. In fact, many of the following pointing practices touch on this. Taking the one seat begins with taking complete responsability for your relationship with your experience. Thank you

Now i'm going to present something that sounds simple, and it is simple, but it can be poweful as wel. In this practice we're going to return to something that will seem a little less challanging, yet no less powerfull: being rooted in the experience of presence. Thank you

Let's move from an enjoyable practice to one that may be a bit more chalanging but bound to be eye-opening! How can we live an awakened life if we're not being truthful, if we're not being honest and authentic? Thank you

Without love, truth can be harsh, so i'm following the practice of deep truth telling with one that may be easier but is no less transformational. I call this practice ''leading with the heart''. Thank you.

The next pratice in this course is one i call ''pivoting toward peace.'' It's an awareness practice that i'd like you to take up during any encounter with another human being today and with yourself. Thank you.

Saint Francis recommends, ''Always seek to understand before seeking to be understand''. We all love being understood. Start by recognizing that you like to be understood because it is part of life and there's nothing wrong wit that. However, lets try to understand before wanting to be understood. Thank you

The next step is an exploration of courage. Courage is not one of those words you hear that often anymore, but even in our modern world, courage is essenctial because life can be challanging - not only the life around you but also the life withing you. Courage is an awakened quality.

If you have any area in your life where you feel forgiveness is called for, first remind yourself that harmful acts come out of unconsciousness. Nobody wake up on otherwise good day and chooses to go out and do something terrible. The choice is yours. Forgive or suffer. Thank you

I hope you've come to realize that true spiritual awakening marks the end of the restles search as well as the end of the seeker identity. However, is not the end of continuosly deeping understanding, and it's not the end of developing and embodying one's insight in daily life. Have a blessed life!
