You are being called to be fully who you are.

Not to act like someone else, not to live someone else’s life but: to find out who you really are, to be truly yourself and to bring your uniqueness fully into this life.

Can you hear the call?
Can you hear who’s calling?

It’s you!

Our lives are in a crisis: we are working more and more, to buy more and more, to consume more and more so that we can be happy. The promise of technology to make us more efficient and save time so that we can have more time to enjoy our lives has only made us greedier to produce even more product faster. We work more and enjoy our lives less. The result is a world in crisis. We are over consuming the resources of the planet. We are over producing waste from our consumption that is polluting and warming the earth. We think the solution is to change what we consume, how we consume or the way we consume.

Maybe its not what we consume,
its what’s consuming us.

We keep thinking that the more we have, the more we possess, the more we consume and the more we do, the happier we will be. But the satisfaction never lasts: the food digests, the car rusts, the house deteriorates, the relationship alters, the body ages, etc We can fill in the blanks with anything and the result is the same: there is no permanent satisfaction in anything external. It’s like an addiction, in which the thing that we think will save us is harming us. We must individually awaken to the crisis we are in or collectively perish.

So where is our fulfillment in life?

Let me ask another question first …

Which is better, to own the sunset
or to be in the moment with the sunset as it really is?

I think you know the answer… and

I think you know the answer to the first question…Its in you. Its even more than that…It is you!

To be with yourself as you really are is fulfilling…just like being with the sunset is fulfilling.

The problem is we have been so busy focusing our attention trying to find happiness outside ourselves that we have lost ourselves.

To find true fulfillment we need to ask one of the most important questions an individual can ever ask:

Who am I?

I don’t mean your body, your thoughts, your personality, your likes and dislikes, even your personal history. Even all these things change too, right? I mean the one that has always been there behind all these…the one that is the source of all these. This is the age-old question that has been asked for centuries.

When you realize who you are, there will be total self-acceptance, self-love, compassion, greater joy, liberation from the limiting mind, an understanding of your infinite potential,
inner strength, peace of mind, inner happiness and a greater capacity to enjoy your life. You will see that true fulfillment arises naturally as a result of your True Self being
fully engaged and present in anything you do, no matter what it is. The trap of endlessly and neurotically trying to find your happiness in externals will drop away. You will be the source of your own fulfillment.

Awakening

This awakening to your true nature is called “Enlightenment” in some traditions and in other traditions, ”Illumination” or “Self-realization”. This will be the beginning in many ways of a transformed life, an opportunity to fully manifest your Self in life from the foundation of eternal truth. By far, this will be the greatest gift you can give to yourself, to others and the planet. Nothing in the material realm can match it.

Many spiritual traditions have looked at this awakening as the end of the spiritual journey when in fact is it the beginning even though it is a major accomplishment in life.

Integrating this new level of consciousness into everyday existence is as important as Awakening.

As a Spiritual pilgrim who has spent many years on the path and experienced the pitfalls and the profound joy of Awakening (read “A Personal Perspective in about Russell), I have developed and organized programs that not only bring you to Self-realization but assist you in creating the life of your dreams and living in it from the full prescence of your True Self. These programs do not have to be completed in order.

Here is an overview of True Source programs:

Embodying and relating to others from True Prescence
- The Art of Being: a meditation retreat

Clearing:

Sustainable Living:
Living in harmony on the planet: workshops on Green building, Sustainable energy and Self-sufficient living:
Strawbale Construction
Living off the Grid

You may find more information on these in the section: Upcoming Workshops.

In closing, let me share with you what Buddha, one of the greatest enlightenment teachers, once said about the biggest barrier to spiritual advancement: “confusion and doubt are the gatekeepers of Enlightenment”. In other words, if we doubt that Awakening can happen in 4 days we will take years and years to have it occur not understanding that just as technology has advanced so have transformational techniques. If we doubt that we can lead a fuller life or even deserve it, we will hold ourselves back. Perhaps its time to ignore the doubt and listen to the call…

The world needs you to be fully you!
