Greetings!
This Friday night we dive into the teachings for learning to unravel our reactive patterns. The 6 realms of experience can be understood as different ways of recognizing our patterns, and seeing the worlds which they project. We will use this tool many times over the coming months to unravel the nature of our experience.
Reading will be from Chapter 5 of Wake Up to Your Life by Ken McLeod, Meditation 1: The Six Realms. This is the last session before a two-week break, while I'm on retreat with Ken McLeod in NE New Mexico, so we will have plenty of time to dwell on the meditation of the six realms.
Future weeks will include: - The five elements
- Identifying what drives a pattern of behavior
- The pattern process
- The extent to which patterns consume our lives
- How patterns form and develop around an unreleased core of experience
- How pattern-based living produces the three forms of suffering
- The process of crystallization
- How repeated behaviors evolve into self-perpetuating results
- How patterns are dismantled
- Karma and Freedom
If you've been thinking of coming, this is a great time to start. Click here for a great article on karma at Ken's website which helps clear up common misunderstandings about karma. |
