After some very intensive work I was joined in union with another.  it took me by surprise.  I could feel my partner in me.  What an experience!  It was nothing I had done before.  It was like a firework…a skyrocket that exploded into a million starts that fell on me and I knew Truth.  it’s all very powerful.  I felt such peace within myself…..this love I have been given has made up for all the love I felt I messed before in life.  Thank you god for bringing me to this point in my life to experience this.

EARLY BIRD TUITION DISCOUNT by 15 February

Dear Friends and Lovers of Enlightenment,

I’ll keep this part of the follow up letter to the 2018 New Year Enlightenment Intensive very brief so my communication is more likely to be received and not disregarded since we all experience an abundance of incoming communications from multiple sources that may feel, at times, a bit overwhelming.  

It seems to me that there is a curiosity to know ‘WHO AM I’ and what life is. It appears that it is an evolutionary and universal stage of consciousness in our collective life on planet Earth.

Thank you for participating and persisting in the quest to know your SELF and for sharing this curiosity with me.

Here's a photo of one of our close relatives displaying the emerging curiosity of self consciousness that leads to Self Knowing.

I’d love for you to write a summary of what you became conscious of and perhaps how you intend to integrate that into your daily life. I’ve received a few that I’ve included in the 2018 NY EI Follow Up Letter and will add any others that I receive.
with love
Yoah

What I became conscious of during the Enlightenment Retreat was the life energy of the body collectively and all at once falling itself towards the spine as if the spinal column had its own gravity. I also became conscious that this energy which was culminating at the spine had an upward flowing tendency. As I continued to surrender to the truth while sitting in dyads, I noticed that the muscles of the body, particularly the abdomen, but also the ones associated with the throat and the perineum were contracting involuntarily and by their own intelligence. These muscles supporting and surrounding the spine felt like they were wringing out the spinal column like a soaking wet towel being twisted into a helix. However, instead of the “droplets' falling downward, they were rising into the head. The main motion of the life energy in the body during the retreat was therefore centrally inward and upward. While this occurred, the predominant sensate experience during the retreat was bliss. So much of it and so continually did it roll on that it was deemed completely ordinary and a default state of the body.

What is of significance though is how this energy dynamic was influencing the mind. The more contraction and the more upward flow, the more space would spread throughout the mind, harmoniously neutralising all in its path. Thoughts, feelings, emotions, experiences and desires that I would usually notice in the every day happenings of the mind, were gone. What I mean by gone is that I was no longer conscious of them. By the time this centrally located life energy reached the eyebrow area, the last of the human faculties started silencing and calming themselves into themselves. The individual consciousnesses at the eyes, the ears, the mouth and the nose would fall back into themselves and then segregate into a unity of exquisite sensitivity ability in the centre of the head. That’s a long string of words but it’s the best I can do to describe this ‘vacant action potential’. Therefore, not only were the contents of the mind gone, but the very consciousness that beheld them was vacating inwardly and centrally.

Above I have described what happened to the body and how the mind was affected by what was happening in the body. However, it is also worth mentioning that there were brief periods when what happened in the mind also affected what was happening to the energy of the body. This was when a desire would occur by passing under the radar despite the strong energetic upward flow that was constantly wiping such desires clean from the mind like car window wipers on ultra high speed. For example, there was one time I was sweating and heating up due to all the inner bodily activity and there was a wish to cool down. I resisted the heat and preferred coolness in that instant. The next thing I noticed was the upward tending energy would fall below the eyebrows and down into the body again. That is when I would feel distinctly the discomfort and come back into the experience of being a human body. Before that downward flow, there was just the noticing of the beginnings of a desire returning as if coming to me from a distant place.

You may have picked up thus far that I haven't made mention of any revelations of truth or samadhis or or direct experiences or conscious union with reality. What I have described above is what happened to the body and the mind. Based on these exact above experiences, I can conclude that the freedom from any attachment in consciousness, the emptiness of mind, the profound introversion of the senses and consciousness toward the centre of the head, and the upward flowing energy of the body are all environmental attractants that increase the likelihood of Enlightenment occurring. They are environment attractants just like dry kindling, strong winds, and a steaming hot day are all environmental attractants for a fire starting to blaze. They are not determinants, but most definitely attractants for such a situation to take place.

Dearest Brothers and Sisters of Truth,
It was a true honour and pleasure to participate with you all on this intensive. I feel great love for all of you. If you would like to connect with me I am on FB under Sarah Emily-Anne in Alice Springs. I would love to hear from you fellow truth seeker!

I have been re-reading my book “True Feminine Power” since I came home and am surprisingly realising that it is actually a really good integration tool for after an Enlightenment Intensive. Whether you are male or female we both have a true masculine and feminine side in differing percentages. I feel a bit awkward saying all this cause I haven’t started promoting the book yet as it still needs a lot of editing. I also want to add a bunch more chapters about mas/fem relating. But I feel comfortable with you reading it even though it’s not fully ripe yet. I hope it can benefit you in further integrating who and what we truly are in life. “True Feminine Power” is available at most online bookstores, even as an ebook for just a few dollars.

I look forward to seeing you again and doing more important work together. I am most likely traveling through qld this year on a road trip so stay in touch and might see you soon!

Thanks to Yoah and Gitesha from the self foundation Adelaide for organizing such a great enlightenment intensive and all who came awesome energy and love and clearing.

Wow fabulous retreat overflowing with love divine connection people ready to receive without judgement clearing the untruths of our conditioning to become our true selves.

Happiness doesn't come from what you have it comes from knowing who you are to the core without the mind interfering.

So good to look deeply into another's eyes and have no mind just peace and love.

We really can't imagine our true beauty with these mortal eyes.  I will never forget what I feasted my mortal eyes upon.  The radiant beauty that was myself!

Get ready enlightenment intensive coming up in Castlemaine date to be confirmed.

Following the EI I noticed others willingness to engage and assist me. My body is more sensitive to foods and my sleep is similarly affected. I’m aware of habitual attitudes that limit my involvement in life and in my creative flow. Openness has become paramount in consciousness. I am more generous with my praise and willingness to communicate.

Working on What am I, the object of my contemplation had been the judgment function (budhi) in all its gloriousness and nastiness. It kept coming up and I kept  communicating it. Eventually things slowed down, became calmer and finally, it no longer appeared. All that remained was my intention to directly experience the truth, surrender and then let the truth come. Towards the end of the dyad I took another stab surrendering to the truth and then, I literally lost myself for a few moments. I was no longer there. No seeing, no hearing, no thinking, no feeling. I was gone. Submerged in a state of pure being without even being reflective or observing or conscious of it. I had been gone home. Non-duality. When my senses started to come back into action and I became aware of the noise in the room and felt my eyes looking again, I waited for a few moments to find words. Nothing came up. My mind was completely quiet and empty still. I slowly said to my partner, I am one. Then the gong sounded and I got up and walked out for working contemplation. Everything  still felt  in slow motion and  so I walked slowly, continuing to be open to what had just happened. As I came outside and slowly moved down the driveway my attention was drawn into the upper part of my head and it became very light, a blinding white light. My body felt like it had lost gravity and instead of walking I felt I was floating above ground. I turned around. Greg, the chief monitor was looking at me. I looked back towards him and nodded, as if to say, I'm ok and I felt a gentle wave of loving emotion wafting through me. I am one without the I. Towards the end of the working contemplation I sat down for a few minutes. My body was completely still, effortlessly so, I felt like an empty building with a wide open still perfect nothingness  gently floating through. The sense of weightless lightness of the body continued for a while longer. Later, when I sat down for my next dyad I still did not really know what else to say, but I was certain that the truth had closed over me then, and I had really been gone. There was a tear in the time and space processing continuum. There was no I. ... is no I ... in that oneness. As I continued  to present what had happened, the energy accumulated above the eyebrows and I experienced a state of 'seeing without the eyes', being conscious of and in contact with my partner without the process of using my eyes and ears. A kind of flow of truth kept going on.

Gitesha
Dear beautiful friends,
What I became conscious of on yet another level of clarity and tangible experience within myself is:
THAT I EXIST and that my existence is blessed, loved supported, taken care of and smiled upon  from all directions.  That there’s no beginning and no end to me, that I and all others are divine, that I AM THE SHINING ONE, who is ONE with my divinity and with my humanity, and that my reason for being here is bringing THAT, the Grace of God that lives in Me, and as Me, in it’s ever purer form into expression in this world, and to all others in this dance of life. Thank you, beautiful ones, for dancing with me.

While sitting in quiet contemplation on day four I finally surrendered all I was. My way of being, my meditation, my spiritual life, my whole being. Then suddenly I started laughing. What a joke! How funny! I was trying to find myself while all the time I was here and had been here all the time. Now I know myself.

Distractions from Phenomena
Remedy: Concentrate more deeply on the task at hand. Without chasing after the phenomena or running away from it, stay open to a conscious direct knowing of who you are while keeping your intention to directly know yourself.

Not Observing the Obvious
Remedy:   Have you ever lost your car keys, glasses or your phone. You hunt and hunt looking for it and never notice that it's just on the table in plain sight?  That's what it's like to not notice the obvious in respect to who you are.  The remedy is to not lose your intention and to stay open to finding what you lost.

Karma                           
Remedy:  If you don't feel you deserve it then open your heart and do it for others. Do it for those you love.

Pre-Conceived Ideas
Remedy:  Give up your ideas of how it's supposed to be; set them aside.  Stay open to the unknown while keeping your intention for a conscious direct knowing of your Self.

Lack of Persistence
Remedy: Giving up is the greatest cause of failure in all of life's endeavors.  Don't confuse intention for the truth with straining, forcing and pushing.  Relax the mind/body while doing the Enlightenment Dyad Technique.

Intellectualizing               
Remedy:  No where in the Enlightenment Dyad Technique instructions does it say to 'think or figure out' who you are.  Contemplation is more a 'dwelling or resting upon' who you 'think' you are. Take more time contemplating followed by communicating only what occurs as a result of contemplating upon the object of your enlightenment.
