The second is transcending our limited day-to-day consciousness to discover our true self and its extraordinary qualities of human flourishing. Our first session begins by focusing on two quick and sure methods of calming the mind. Whenever your mind is out of control, these will be your go-to practices.one that is simple, surprisingly effortless, and goes directly to the essence of meditation. The first aim of meditation is to diminish, stress, calm the mind, decrease reactivity, and improve the quality of our relationships.

  • Virtual Reality to True Being

    Virtual Reality to True Being
    Nov 18 2024

    Simply stated, virtual reality is an experience that on first glance appears real but on further examination is found not to be real. The experience seems real, looks real, and sounds real, but it is isn’t. It doesn't appear in the manner in which it appears.

    In addition to dreams and mirages onsider our ordinary day-to-day life and activities – the usual experience of people, places, things, and mental activity. From the perspective of ordinary consciousness, it’s all very real to us, but can it be just another example of virtual reality? Let’s look at this startling possibility.

  • Zooming In – Zooming Out

    Zooming In – Zooming Out
    Oct 20 2024

    "Zooming In – Zooming Out" explores the practice of reconnecting with our fundamental, unconditioned awareness, which we are born with but often lose touch with as our ego and personal identity develop. This is called "Zooming-In." When we need to navigate day-to-day life, we simply "Zoom-Out" by reaching into our vast unconditioned consciousness and manifesting those aspects of memory, cognition, intellect, creativity, imagination, and relational skills that are required in the moment. We create a temporary “mere I” that is needed to navigate our daily life and we let it drop back into consciousness when no longer needed. By "zooming in" to this core awareness and "zooming out" to navigate daily life, we can, in time, harmonize our deeper essence with practical, worldly existence.

  • Personal Love – Essence Love

    Personal Love – Essence Love
    Oct 6 2024

    We can begin by agreeing that there are two fundamental kinds of love – personal love and essence love.

    Although the first, personal love, may take many forms, it is characterized by the love of one person for another within the scope of our usual mind/body life. That love will vary in character and quality following the psychological development of the individuals involved.

    The second kind of love is what I have called essence love. It exists outside of the realm of personal identity, outside of conventional consciousness. it cannot be known through our usual sensory or mental capacities. It can only be known through direct experience, by being one with it. It then knows itself.
