COURSE
With Carla Aspesberger
This is a course to awaken discernment to truth which has the power to anihilate suffering, stress and struggle at the root. Every sentient being has a deep underlying longing for consistent happiness and to eliminate struggle and suffering. This course makes it apparent that there is a narrator speaking but also, at the same time, listening. So it offers the opportunity to identify when it is the mind or narrator speaking vs. you listening instead of identifying with the things the narrator is saying. This is for people under a lot of stress or even someone experiencing a burnout in their lives. It awakens the discernment between identifying mind vs. identifying "with mind." It might not seem very significant, but the difference is huge. It has the capacity to dissolve the need to solve or try to satisfy any, and especially, the deep desire for continuous happiness and contentment. Be happy regardless the circumstances. This shared yearning to eliminate suffering and chase pleasure or happiness merges and governs actions, thoughts and conditioned beliefs. All working towards the goal or desire to be fulfilled. This course offers a correction in the deeply rooted misunderstanding that it is content of the story that can solve it. It shares the tools for you to unroot suffering and struggle which ultimately leads to peace in the discomfort. Why is this course not focusing on healing? When we are narrowly focused on healing, we are programming the content and awareness to look for things that are ‘wrong’ or not nice to feel based on the metric system of good or bad. The mind being the creator of those labels, doesn’t have the capacity to see past them. This algorithm will process phenomena and out will jump something that needs to be ‘healed’, fixed, changed, or improved. Instead of lovingly accepted. This is merely a perception trap into content (in my opinion). Everything is exactly the way it is supposed to be and the resistance to allowing that is what causes the mind to be worshiped because now it appears that it has the most important job to do. Controlling life. Avoiding pain. Chasing pleasure. With this, there are programs installed, creating the structure, it will always put out its opinion (based on memory) and dress it up in proof and beliefs appearing to be real. Thus from this perspective, there is nothing to be healed. This does not mean healing does not happen. It just has a different meaning to what you might think. It is beyond reasoning and intellectual understanding. So this is a course to offer mindful and practical ways to shift the paradigm on stress and struggle. A heart-opening course that frees you from skull space and invited you to live from heart space insead. As the more we surrender into presence, the more we open ourselves up to the beauty life has to offer.
