SUMMARY:Richard Miller ~ This Which We are Above All Else  (In-Person Event)
DESCRIPTION:This Which We are Above All Else\nThe belief that we are a separate “me-I-self” who is in control is simply that\, an illusory captivating narrative where we’re the main character in a movie constructed by our thoughts\, feelings\, actions\, and experiences. A first step toward awakening entails recognizing that the separate self has never existed and that its dissolutions isn’t a death or a loss. It’s a freeing of an illusion that we had to constantly defend and maintain. An important step in releasing this illusion entails realigning with and embodying our intrinsic Essential Essence. \nJoin Richard as he introduces you to five simple inquiries designed to offer you a glimpse of your Essential Essence\, and practical approaches for helping your mind break free of its preoccupation with the illusion of separation and control. \nRichard C. Miller\, PhD After decades of searching Richard met his spiritual mentor\, Jean Klein in 1983\, who guided him through the non-path\, non-method\, and nondual realization of Essential Nature. Founder of iRest Institute\, and a co-founder of the International Association of Yoga Therapists and the Institute for Spirituality and Psychology\, Richard teaches nondual inquiry and the realization of Essential Nature internationally\, as well as serves as a consultant researching and teaching the meditation protocol he’s developed\, Integrative Restoration ~ iRest\, a modern-day secular adaptation of an ancient nondual practice of self-inquiry and awakening. \nRichard’s website: shop.irest.org \nSatsang: 2-4 pm\nRefreshments: until 5\nSuggested Donation:  $10- $20\, no one turned away.\nNo pre-registration.
