SUMMARY:David Lee ~ Non-Duality: From the Progressive to the Direct Path
DESCRIPTION:Satsang: 2-4 pm\nRefreshments: until 5\nSuggested Donation:  $10- $20\, no one turned away. \nLocation: 8476 Sonoma Ave\, Sebastopol\, CA. Park on Sonoma Ave. \nNote: The address sign says 8474/8476.  Park on the street\, and walk down the short driveway to the house with the carport. Please arrive 10-15 minutes early. \nCome and explore what it is to be awake within our ever-changing present experience. We will be exploring our deep conditioning of being separated from the wholeness of who we are and how nondual teachings can be tools to create favorable conditions for “slipping into” a larger dimension of ourselves. \nYet teachings can also pose limitations.  Understanding has its place and value\, but concepts and language are at best a pointer to the presence of who we are. Words like presence or effortless being are descriptions of this open\, loving presence; but not to be mistaken for the actual experience of the vast fullness of one’s essential self. \nWe will see how observing and grappling with our ego and its structures can help us to let go and surrender. In doing so a larger dimension opens.  From a glimpse into our true nature we naturally want more of this…it’s human nature.  Wherever you are on your journey\, come explore together the fertile ground of your true being. \n\nHear from David about movement from the Progressive Path to the Direct Path\nUnderstand the role of ego and the Separate Self\nDwell in the presence of who you are\nWhat is surrender all about?\n\n“Real understanding is in not knowing. All knowing dissolves in not-knowing\, and it is this not knowing state that there is transformation. Let go of all desire to know. But keep your terrible eagerness.” ~ Jean Klein \nDavid Lee lives in Sebastopol and has been facilitating nondual discussion groups for 5 years. He has been a sincere and dedicated aspirant of both the Progressive Path and the Direct Path for 48 years. He has done long retreats\, 3 months as well as shorter 10 day retreats over this period of time. His main teachers are Rupert Spira\, Miranda MacPherson\, Adyashanti and in the Buddhist tradition\, Joseph Goldstein.  To learn more about him and see what he is offering\, please go to his website: www.davidleenonduality.com \n
