2023 New Year Enlightenment Intensive

Dear Friends and Lovers of Enlightenment and Truth,
This is the 2023 New Year Enlightenment Intensive Completion Letter
The enlightenment contemplation technique will roll on in an informal manner after the 2023 Enlightenment Intensive completes.  
Depending on your ‘worldly’ responsibilities, focus of attention and intention it can stay with you for days, weeks and months.
So in light of that, here’s a short review of the technique.
You’ve heard me say this more than a 100 times in a variety of ways.  
Have you experienced how your ‘hearing’ of this changed or evolved each time?  
Did you notice your perceptive mind got out of the way and ‘hear’ it rather than interpreted it based upon the impressions in your mind?

Here it is:

Having accepted the instruction, you are to set out or intend to Consciously Directly Know who you are.  
Then you are to be OPEN to a Conscious Direct Knowing of who you are, 
while keeping your intention to have a Conscious Direct Knowing of your self.

Conscious
Though you already know who you are, it’s not in your field of consciousness.  You are not aware of it.
You want to bring it into your consciousness.

Direct
Direct means not through a via or way.  Not through perception or thinking or figuring it out.

Do you notice when you engage the ‘figuring it outness’ way in your thinking?  

It’s very habitual in us humans. It’s been a very useful ability that has become a predominate world view the world over.  

That’s why Hafiz says:  
"Forget every idea of right and wrong that any classroom ever taught you,
Because an empty heart, a tormented mind, unkindness, jealousy and fear 
are always the testimony.
You have been completely fooled!”

Knowing
It’s an ability you have.  You have the ability to know anything.  It’s like knowing your name or where the bathroom is in your house.  You don’t have to figure it out.  You just know.  It requires no thought process.

When you consciously directly know your self, you don’t use your mind.  You just know.  
It’s just too simple for the complicated egoic mind.

Being in a state of conscious, direct knowledge of yourself is a special state that is called enlightenment.

Picture
A few days have passed now since we completed the New Year Enlightenment Intensive.
Several of us came down with covid during the retreat, my self included.
In respect to the covid virus and the Enlightenment Intensive I’ve learned some things.
One of the most important being “THE MASK”.

Vipassana Australia has everyone wear a mast until the third day, when they covid test again and can then de-mask if covid is clear.

I think that’s a prudent approach.
I was hoping we would not have to do that but after this Enlightenment Intensive, it seems like a good idea.
At this time I know of 8 covid cases that occurred.  That’s 8 out of 18.  Not great odds!


My email address (yoah@enlightenmentintensive.com.au) crashed and died so I don’t know if any one else has come down with covid.
If you have, let me know.

This is my NEW EMAIL ADDRESS: yoahwexler@icloud.com

Here’s a dyad for improving your relationships with others. It's  called the RELATIONSHIP EVOLUTION DYAD.
It has three parts.
a:  Tell me something you like about me.
b:  Tell me something you think we agree on.
c:  Tell me something about yourself you think I should know.

Here’s a self reflection used as a dyad or contemplation that is most useful in situations where you are triggered:

What is it about myself with regards to this upset/feeling/emotion that I want another to know.
 

Taking responsibility for what is arising in consciousness means no criticising, blaming, abusing, making the other wrong or trying to change them.  In fact, get your thought across without even referring to the other.  Most of the time ‘the other’ that you want to get the communication across to is not the one who seemingly ‘triggered’ you.  Your partner can be a ‘physical’ Other as in a dyad or a non-physical Other (god) as in a meditation.  Actually the ‘physicalness’ of another is an illusion.  But that’s for another retreat contemplation.

As I’ve said, your problem is not about life and not about others.  It is something about yourself that has arisen from the unconscious that you want another to know.

The Moment of Death

7/12/2022

0 Comments

 
This 7 minute video essay is a guide to anchoring enlightenment in the present moment, Now.  It is an audio excerpt from a Charles Berner seminar titled, Dying, Death and the Afterdeath Experience.  I added the visuals to Berner’s audio as part of my study, meditation and personal pleasure for myself and for you.  I hope it adds to your understanding and awakening of who and what you are.  It is based upon and inspired by The Tibetan Book of the Dead, the Enlightenment Intensive and the state of enlightenment, both natural and plant assisted.  As Sogyal Rinpoche explains,The Tibetan Book of the Dead is a guide for the living and the dying.

I trust you are all doing well as you re-enter the default reality of daily living while continuing to keep alive the one pointed focus of concentration that 6 days of the Dyad Enlightenment Technique helped to awaken. Yes, of course there is a few barriers to one's worldly desires as there always are to one’s noble spiritual intentions.
Picture
Following the Enlightenment Intensive I began contemplating and reflecting on the obstacles and barriers to enlightenment and the difficulties that are faced on the journey to conscious direct knowing.  
It’s said one teaches what one wants to learn.  It’s been a life long teaching project for me.
I’ve spent several hours reflecting on the obstacles to enlightenment in my life and others... and how to communicate what I was conscious of about the subject.  I’m still in contemplation on the matter.

Obstacles to Enlightenment
The gargoyles are the scary statues traditionally standing guard at the door of the Temples to keep those who are fearful from entering the Holy Space of the Temple.

The Enlightenment Follow Up Dyad
The following dyad instructions can be used as a self inspection contemplation for journaling
or dyad practice with a dyad partner.


a.  Tell me an enlightenment experience you had.
b.  Tell me what I need to know in order to understand that experience completely.

a.    Tell me a truth you have discovered about who you are.
b.     Tell me how you have been or have not been able to apply that truth in your life.

Tell me how your life has been affected by your enlightenment experience.

Tell me how your life has been affected by the Enlightenment Intensive.

Flower Dyad
Artwork by Gitesha

“Lets dance the dyad-dance! Show me your true colours - your formless form, your buds,
your blossoms, your fragrance, your shining light, your soft tender velvet leaves,
and those gnarly twisted roots buried and hidden in the dark underground.
And then I’ll show you mine.”

A VERY amazing photo of an orangutan with an out reached hand
offering rescue to a human geologist in need of help.  
Sure looks like the offer of a helping dyad from one animal to another.

"Tag, you're It,” 
GOD shouted when He touched ME.
I looked around and began chasing YOU.
"Tag you're IT"    
  
GOD'S in a playful mood.
And YOUR FRIENDS are calling for
YOU to come out and play…
