Direct pointing is a mix between a meditation meeting, a Dharma class, and a workshop that includes group dialog. It is an open and welcoming meeting where a facilitator and a small group of people meet once per week for six weeks in a quiet setting and work toward the understanding of non-dual awareness and the disassociation with a self that is experienced as being separate from anything, or anybody. This being the doctrine of non self. We will be working with various approaches that help clear the way for the comprehension of our true nature.
" There is nothing separating us from what we are except our ideas about what we are"
When awareness meets experience without preference or resistance, this is the mind that properly identifies with thoughts and looks at memories or stories of the past, and plans for the future with clarity. In “Direct Pointing”, we look how the mind process works as a whole. Moreover, how thoughts are identified with, and often mistaken as the truth. All of this resulting in a false identification with life and a holding back from realizing and living our true nature.
Direct Pointing allows the participant the opportunity to understand their relationship with the self view and how this view of a "self" that is separate form the rest of the world arises as thoughts and stories. All of this resulting in our everyday struggles and difficulties. Direct Pointing is a clearing away of the negative personal stories about the "self".
"Imagine the experience of having to no longer defend of protect this sense of self. What is the experience of complete freedom from attachment to any thing".
Each week a different perspective of the non-dual view will be explored. There are hands on, dialectic and written exercises. Presented will be new methods of directly pointing one to their true nature by using meditation, self inquiry practices. Included will be group discussions aided by direct questioning to stimulate self inquiry. This structured program works at building dependable and clear cognitive behavior, an improvement in concentration. is a wonderful aid in building a happier life through the clarity of mind that is a result of the understanding of our true nature.
