SUMMARY:Richard Miller ~ Living Enlightenment
DESCRIPTION:Throughout the 1970’s\, 80’s and 90’s\, Richard had the good fortune of meeting a series of spiritual teachers\, including Laura Cummings\, J. Krishnamurti\, Adi Da\, Dadaji\, Adyashanti\, Suzanne Segal\, and Jean Klein\, who helped him directly realize the nondual teachings\, as exemplified in the paths of Advaita\, Kashmir Yoga\, Taoism\, and Dzogchen. Richard now shares this realization\, and its integration into daily living\, through meditative self-inquiry\, the presence of being\, and what lies beyond all sense of separation and self-awareness. \nRichard is the co-founder of the International Association of Yoga Therapists\, co-founder and past president of the Institute for Spirituality and Psychology\, and founder of the iRest Institute\, where he teaches retreats and trainings internationally\, and conducts research on the nondual program he’s developed—iRest Meditation—a synthesis of ancient nondual practices of yogic meditation\, studying its efficacy on health\, healing\, well-being\, and awakening. \n“Living enlightenment entails no less than a fundamental figure-ground reversal within our psyche\, where our center of gravity shifts from identification as a separate ego-I to Essential Nature—the Mystery that has given birth to the entire cosmos—that is simultaneously everything\, and no-thing.  \n“Living enlightenment takes us beyond duality and nonduality\, where we recognize there is no condition\, state\, realization\, or accomplishment that is ultimately definitive and final. Here\, life is a continuous unfolding\, with Essential Nature living us—and everything—as Its what\, where\, when\, how\, that\, and this of each moment. \n“Living enlightenment both exposes our absolute helplessness and insecurity when we live identified as a separate ego-I\, and reveals our absolute security and stability when we give ourselves over completely to being lived by the intelligence of Essential Nature. Here\, we awaken beyond conflict and suffering to living true compassion\, kindness\, love\, joy\, and equanimity\, and respect for the preciousness of life and the environment\, amidst all the changing circumstances and relationships of our lives.”  \nwww.irest.org \nSuggested Donation $15-$20
