SUMMARY:Isaac Shapiro ~ Meetings in Truth
DESCRIPTION:Join us for this special series of evening meetings and daylong gatherings with Isaac Shapiro in Berkeley \nIsaac helps us inquire into how we live our lives moment by moment\, and how to better align ourselves with the deepest spiritual truths. He works through direct but good-humored questioning\, reflecting back to us\, and helping to unravel\, the conditioning of the mind and the nervous system\, allowing a deeper participation in the moment. \nIsaac is an internationally known facilitator and non-dual teacher\, fascinated with life lived in alignment with the world’s wisdom traditions. He enjoys exploring and assisting those who share this interest. A student of H.W.L. Poonja (Papaji)\, Isaac draws on a broad spectrum of understanding\, from neurophysiology to some of the latest discoveries in quantum physics\, which he applies in a light-hearted but direct way. \nHis approach is to ask questions and make statements\, and he asks participants in his meetings to question and see if what he says is true in their own being. This approach points to what is already known\, but obscured in the ways our nervous system and our thinking function. Through years of working with people\, Isaac has cultivated and refined an ability to track what is happening in the nervous system of participants. Bringing this awareness to people’s attention\, allows our natural\, innate self-regulating mechanism to be re-established. \nThe beauty of this invitation is that nothing needs to be changed\, fixed\, or eliminated. It is a non-dualistic\, non-judgmental enquiry into our present being. Everything happens through the agency of awareness. As we bring awareness to our unconscious habits\, there is a shift that occurs. In the course of investigation\, people spontaneously recognize the true nature of themselves\, which many report as the experience of peace\, unconditional love\, compassion\, or simply of being home. \n“All we have is the sensory experience of this moment\, NOW. This moment is only an experience to us. That’s all we have. The world\, time\, space\, our own bodies and each other are all an experience to us. Through noticing how our cells respond in the experience of now\, there is a noticing of the production of not only the sense of reality but also the sense of self that we believe we have.”  \nwww.isaacshapiro.org\n \nEvening Meetings \nWed. & Thur.
