Edrid has been facilitating and participating in the Enlightenment Intensive since the 1960's. Here he talks very briefly of enlightenment and his experience. "It's like your very nature creates life. And there's no event on any level that doesn't include that. Its completeness is staggering. Including any thought, any idea, any feeling, any emotion, any physical object..... anything that is in a limitless totalness of you. It's you. It's your nature being revealed, and the other and life being revealed in some total, totally true, at that point. There is no flake of anything left out. The totalness of it was staggering to me. That I create every bit of everything without any exception. There's no way that couldn't be true. It's absolute truth. Right?! Friend: Total. Totally. Total - there is nothing left. And the degree of that .... it sends chills. I'm getting chills in my body just contacting the truth of that while I'm speaking of it. It is Absolute. It has such a strong feeling of Absoluteness. This is it. You know, it's... this is all mine. It's not really to deny anybody else's being in on it. It's not saying, And it's not yours! But my end of it is, is all of it." |

I recommend Enlightenment Intensive retreats. It is life changing and life affirming. They offer a deep travel into the psyche and the soul. I've been involved with the Enlightenment Intensive for many many years. I've been Mastering the Enlightenment Intensives since 1980. Yoah |

Great Appreciation
For each of you allowed me to enter into your life, Into your breath, Into your heart, Into a holy communion and a Holy matrimony of the soul. Great Appreciation, For each of you accepted me, As I am For who I am And what I am. Great Appreciation For the invitation To feast upon your holiness, |
To drink deep of your truth,
Your wisdom And your love. Together we made manifest the Secret, Together we brought what was hidden into the market place, For all to See For all to Feel For all to Share. And God smiled For this celebration of divine life Is God made manifest in the world. Tonight, I’m setting the table for another Feast Come share it with me in all that is Good, Holy and Beautiful |
I'm leaving here completely whole and full with a sense of who I really am. I'm celebrating life.

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.
Anthony
I have found myself.

The most inspirational emotion that arose in me was that we are all one! I had visions I never knew existed. A totally new beginning and spiritual journey! I feel like I have come home.

I received the gift of space and a clear mirror. Thank you for initiating me into the unknown. Truly a path of sacred sharing, love and truth.

Listen to the audio of laughter and ecstasy announcing
the arrival of an enlightened state of consciousness.

It was the first time for me involved in an enlightenment/spirituality activity without any ‘beliefs/’religions’ attached to it. It was powerful yet very subtle. The dyad technique allows us to experience ‘something’ that we’ve been asking and looking for. I experienced the ‘AHA’ awareness in day one of the retreat!! I was amazed and grateful to what I experienced at that time. For me the most important thing is that I was able to be true and honest to myself and share this to others.
Thank you Yoah!!

I was in a dyad and I directly experienced who I am. It was like I stumbled onto it. It was completely unexpected. The whole thing took me by surprise. I know who I am but I just didn't know that I knew.
Lawrence
Who am I? I'm me.
It was hidden and buried under who I am not. I realised that I have to live life true to who I am. I realised that my sense of self is always constant and present. I realised that who I am does not have a name and cannot be judged, measured or described and that it is always there. I realised that who I really am is love seeking expression interacting with another. And all that in 72 hours. Amazing!!!!

While I was at the Enlightenment Intensive I had a direct experience of myself (and everything and everyone around me) as God. Not the 'man-in-the-sky' type of God - but the truth, source, universal energy type God that transcends any mind-made creation. In this state I felt like I radiated pure love. It lasted for several weeks afterwards. Through days of continuous contemplation and dyads the layers of thoughts, images, ideas, conditioning that had told me who I am were released and I found me. Who I had always been - but I had forgotten. Why am I inspired to go back? Even after a direct experience it seems that once back in 'the real world' it takes great diligence to ensure that those layers don't find their way back to shield me from the truth of myself. I need remembering, reminding. I need to be in community where others know, or seek to know, the truth of themselves. I feel like the more often I am in that state of pure love the more I will be able to sustain it in my day-to-day life.

I sat opposite my dyad partner after screaming and crying and yelling and crying and yelling for what seemed like ages. I was feeling the rush of my life force coursing through me and feeling fully opened in that moment to who I am. I was asked the question, “Tell me who you are.” I contemplated then said the funniest thing I have ever heard. I said, “I am conscious of my body and there is something in it. Oh it's me!” That simple statement seems like the most profound thing I have ever understood. I still cannot get over the whole hilarity and the truth in those three words. You see, it was me all along!!! I am right here. There's nothing else to say about it. Nowhere to go. It's me!! It's so awesome!

Ahhhh…. This has been a beautiful breath of fresh, inspirational, vibrant, loving, peaceful ,purely life-giving air. Since my first Enlightenment Intensive in 2004 I have been in love with this technique and of the people who both facilitate and attend the retreats. I am filled with wonder at the depths to which the human spirit can explore and the phenomenal expanding heights to which it can soar, infinitely. For anyone who seeks to uncover their radiant truth I say, “Dive into the Enlightenment Intensive experience, it may change your life in ways you didn’t know possible.” I’m so excited to discover what else is possible. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

This is my three days of love. Very opening. Truthful communication…more than I’ve ever experienced. I can communicative anything/everything, all about Me; purely. No fear, no criticism, honest. I felt the love ‘space’. As a listener, I learnt much about being a mirror, no judging, love and focus.
Aswini

"Kamala Devi" Dear Friends and Lovers, The closer I get to God/Goddess, the more I want to share the experience with others. Especially you. I'm sending this out to individuals on my list who I feel would benefit from the unique teachings of my enlightenment master. I am honored to host Yoah at the Emerald Temple this Thursday. He will be offering a brief taste of the intentions behind this year's Enlightenment Retreat (Nov. 1-7th at Questhaven SD,CA) As a result of participating in enlightenment intensives, I've experienced: 1. Profound compassion for myself and others. 2. An experience of self beyond the mind's thinking. 3. An increase of concentration, focus and intention. 4. A sense of the timelessness, and perspective in relative terms. 5. Uncontrollable laughter. A cosmic joke wherein I was the punch line. 6. Increase in self esteem, where I let go of concern for what others think of me. 7. A orgasmic surge of sexual energy, a Kundalini Rising. 8. Healing and purification of old illness and patterns. 9. I touched into the immortality of my spirit. 10. I experienced a Union or Oneness with the entire universe. Come see what I'm talking about. Look, It cannot be seen It is beyond form. Listen, It cannot be heard It is beyond sound. Grasp, It cannot be held It is intangible. In a Moment of Silence Ambitions fade Mind empties Joy radiates A Sea of Absolute Knowing Come play where the Sun always shines Your Heart is always open. Your Friends are always home and Your Truth is always present. |
Thank you for creating the space and energy for such a wonderful experience of the divine breath, love, kindness and spirit.

What an experience, beyond words. I didn’t think it was possible to feel like this. I’m energy through my whole body, that I allowed to happen. What a drug, give me more. I get out of bed and I get dressed and I go to ‘Love’s Breath”, only after the program starts do I realize that I was not awake.
