Retreat
with Kartar
Awakening to the Self
This is an invitation
to stop and inquire into the nature
of the world of phenomena
and its source, the 'I am'
The inquiry into 'I am'
is the gate for the realization of oneself
as being simply present 'here and now'
One's ability to be conscious of any appearance
is a direct expression of one's nature as pure Awareness
and enables one to be aware of Reality as it is,
as opposed to mind's accumulated knowledge
which is but a projection of concepts
hiding Reality as a robe hiding the body.
The purpose of self inquiry is to remain at the Source from which mind appears, becoming aware of what one is,
thus avoiding the trap of identifying with what one is not.
We will examine our basic assumptions,
our belief system and points of view which we have adopted
since birth and which form 'our world'
and see how they
control and govern our life.
The ability to see Reality as it is, releases us from the endless struggle to rearrange reality in accordance with our mind and
enables us to experience the effortless sweetness of Being.
Our life as 'somebody' requires a constant effort to maintain
as an ever changing form,
while Being is a self sustained existential experience.
The true freedom to which we all aspire is not to do
whatever is on our mind but rather
freedom from mind's tyranny.
We support mind's position of control based on our belief that 'mind can know',
but Truth can never be known, only directly experienced.
At the very moment of awakening to oneself as
pure Awareness aware of itself,
mind returns to its position as a wonderful and trustworthy servant.
During the retreat we will have talks, meditations and self inquiry.
