Do you suspect that something is blocking your success in Life?

Would like to feel innerly empowered to accomplish your goals and aspirations?

There is a unique process becoming popular in the meditation world called Big Mind/ Big Heart developed by a man named Zen Master Genpo Merzel, Roshi

which in many ways is a melding of meditation practice and psychology. This practice is very similar to the voice dialogue techniques of Gestalt and Psychosynthesis which I studied many years ago.

The theory behind the process is that our personality is composed of sub- personalities  or "ways of being" that can be in conflict. Outer discord in life is related to this inner opposition. Often, we act out of these conflicting goals.   For instance, we may get into a personality of the "Achiever" who needs to live up to a high standard of success only to be unconsciously sabotaged by the ego state of the "Hippie" who just wants to be lazy.

There may be times when we want to be the "Free Spirit" who wants to indulge and enjoy life only to be admonished by the "Disciplinarian". Or maybe there is a part of us stuck in being the "Nice Person" but secretly wants to be the "Rebel".

One part of ourself wants one thing but another wants the opposite. We can get confused, immobilized and stuck.

On top of this we add a degree of criticism and judgement about our behaviour that keeps us immobilized.

When a person allows these states a voice through speaking or journaling  then their real purposes for being are understood and these states come into alignment. Peace comes to the mind and vitality is released.

If you feel that sometimes your goals are too hard to accomplish or something inside might be holding you back then come join us on the:

INNER FREEDOM DAY

In this one-day seminar you will:

1. become aware of some of the unconscious "ways of being"  that hold you back in life

2. dissolve your inner resistance.

3. consciously create a success personality to empower you to act out of inner strength and confidence to more freely accomplish your goals.

4. learn how to continue this process in your daily life.

You will experience a greater sense of inner peace, freedom, self-mastery and self-acceptance.

1. The "Dyad" process of reducing stress and internal conflict
2. The "Soul Speak" journaling method of insight and inner harmony
3. The "Inner Resource" technique of establishing and living from a Success and Achiever state in your life

The workshop will be done on a "U-choose-tuition basis" You can choose at the beginning to invest:
1. the full value of the seminar ($150.00) or
2. the basic cost of $35 and leave a donation at the end for the workshop facilitator, based on the value you feel you received.
If you have done the workshop before and want to come to experience some of the new techniques employed you can come for the basic cost.

If you have been interested in the past in participating in a True Source workshop, this is wonderful low-cost, low-risk way to get what's in the way out of the way!!!

Why waste your time and energy anymore staying stuck?

Dogma-free zone

I think we should all have a dogma-free zone.

Somewhere in our world.

A place:

Where we can think our own thoughts and listen to own our voice.

Where all beliefs are considered as assumptions until we can directly experience them for ourselves

Where the "truth" is not considered a four-letter word

A guru-free zone:

Where we can bow down to ourselves and honour our own wisdom

Where buddhists have to grow their hair really long and

All christians, hundus, jews, sihks have to hang-up their sacred hats

before they enter

(and when they leave have to put on someone else's hat)

A place where fundamentalists if they enter will explode from their own inner bombast

A spiritual name-free zone:

Where we can pretend we are Popeye and say "I am what I am" and totally accept ourselves

Where we can look in the mirror without fear and see total magnificence

A place where, when everything seems to be falling apart we can let go

and let it fall into place

Where we can be okay about not knowing anything

and allow ourselves to experience everything...

exactly the way it is

That would be a great place.

I think we all should start by writing "Dogma-free zone" on a sticker

Slap it on our forehead and look at each other...

One day you feel really clear that you should take a certain approach and then the next day you second-guess yourself and you go back into confusion. Sometimes this flip-flopping can go on for days; weeks or even months and you can feel like a fish out of water. It can get intolerable. What do you do? How do you get clear?

By now I am sure most of you have heard Obama's inauguration speech.

It was a truly inspiring speech particularly for African-Americans. For them, not only Obama's words but his actions were an example of hope.

He came so far, from his father's simple upbringing to the president of the United States. He showed that anyone of any race can become president. And in so doing he showed that anything is possible for all of us. He broke the shell of "never-never" land.

What do I mean?

I love this question.
It puts everything into perspective.

I don't know about you but for me its... knowing the Truth.

When you know the truth about anything you have some certainty in life.
When you know the truth about who you are, what your purpose is and what you really want you have a firm foundation on which you can build the rest of your life.

But when you are uncertain about something how can you get clear?
Here's one technique that changed my life.

Throughout the ages to the present time there have been many reports of a new form of consciousness arising in individuals. This form of consciousness has been called by many names. A few of these labels are "awakening", "enlightenment", "illumination", "transcendence", "self-realization", "kensho" in Zen, "anubhava" in Hinduism" and "unitive consciousness" in modern psychology. It is often described as a life altering spiritual experience where one suddenly breaks through one's normal mode of sensing to perceive and become cognizant of the true reality of one's existence. It is also accompanied by a deep sense of peace, serenity, bliss and inner harmony. Because it results in an exalted awareness of one's self, it is always life altering.

You may have noticed on my website that some of my retreats are offered on a "U-choose-tuition" basis.
The arrangement is that you pay only for your costs for meals and accommodation plus a portion of staffing and office costs and then at the end you make a contribution to me for my instruction and leadership.

Why do I do this?
