  • Summary

  • In Meditation and Beyond you will discover a uniquely different approach to meditation. There are two traditional aims of meditation. The first is cultivating a healthy human life. 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. The second aim of meditation is the heart and true essence of meditation. This approach cuts through the limitations of day-to-day living and reveals the precious gold of human life - a sustained serenity, natural wisdom, unchanging happiness, and boundless freedom. . We learn how to meditate in an entirely new and effortless way. Let’s join together on the journey of a lifetime. If you are ready, you will discover life’s treasures.

  • 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.

  • Seen But Not Real – Not Seen But Real

    Seen But Not Real – Not Seen But Real
    Sep 23 2024

    A desert mirage, an echo, train tracks appearing to meet in the distance, and magic tricks are among those experiences that we can see or hear, but they are not actually real. These are sensory-based illusions that we initially think are real, but later learn that they are not real.

    Love, kindness, patience, and spirit cannot be directly seen. They have no form, shape, texture, color, weight, or location. We cannot touch, feel, see or smell them. However, we would all agree that they are real.

    In both instances things don't exist in the manner in which they appear.

  • Reclaiming Your Center: Small Self to True Self

    Reclaiming Your Center: Small Self to True Self
    Sep 17 2024

    Our lives are influenced and guided by our sense of “self.” When we refer to our self – I believe, I think, I feel – it is important to ask what self, what “I,” are we referring to. Is it our customary, personal day-to-day self, or our natural, inner self? Which “self” have we placed at the center of our life?

    What we place at the center will define how we experience the world. When our small personal self is at the center – past history, ideas, perceptual patterns, and learned identities – will determine the character of our relationships, reactions, and life. It is quite different when we place our natural true self at the center of our life. Wh1at is your center - small or large self.
