Enlightenment

Florian Schlosser

There is a presence within you that does not know suffering. It is pure joy that has no cause. THAT is who you most deeply are. Florian and Julia offer to journey with you to recognize this truth for yourself.

Florian will be travelling through the US in October sharing Meetings in various cities. He is going to be in Seattle mid October, at the SAND conference in San Rafael and in Santa Cruz. By the end of October Julia will be joining him in Atlanta, Boston, New York City and for the 7-day Silent Retreat on the Florida keys mid November.

In Atlanta and Boston Julia will be available for Ladies Meetings. The invitation here is to rest as a women in the company of other ladies and explore the uniqueness of this expression. There is space to speak and to be silent. There is space for you to be just as you are - perfect anyway. Welcome.

Join this amazing exploration into deeper possibilities of freedom.

Do not limit yourself to one particular study of one particular religion or tradition. Not a single one is the Only True religion, not a single one has the sole monopoly on God’s Realization, and not a single one can claim to be the one that All people Must follow. In order to gain a real understanding of the spiritual tradition one practices, or the religion one follows a person should study world religions, and world traditions. By limiting yourself to the study of one particular religion, not necessarily the practice, a person is blinding their self to the larger picture of how God is working across the globe in all people, and how ALL of the ancient religions were born in the midst of an isolated environment, which abhorred and even feared outside influences within their local religion.

In this meeting, Florian and Julia invite participants to self inquiry and a direct recognition of who they truly are, as well as to explore in a uniquely grounded and simple way any unconscious belief patterns that determine our way of being in life. The meeting is an invitation to BE and EMBODY what we have understood and accomplished with our minds. In this we can bring the beauty and tremendous transformative power of NON-DUALITY into the depth of the body, and therefore into daily life. Transformation takes place at a cellular level as stress and fear energy in the nervous system dis- charges. Being consciousness includes taking part in the full activity of life as well as resting in the arms of the beloved. In living as an embodiment of consciousness nothing is excluded; everything is genuinely welcomed and embraced. Living as the space of awareness becomes our embodied reality in daily life, rooted in what we love the most: BEING FREE.

After an amazing experience in January 2011, we return for a

7-day SILENT RETREAT
@Islamorada, Florida keys, USA
November 14-21, 2011

This week for sure is going to be miraculous.

The La Siesta Resort is located on a fantastic 6 acre tropical island ocean front setting, providing exquisite food and beautiful accommodation.

The Retreat taking place in such a beautiful, old Florida style, laid-back location allows us to really relax from the daily routines and let go.

This is the ideal prerequisite to inquire into what we honor the most: being free, being ourselves and living fully embodied.

Be part of this amazing exploration! We recommend to register now, because only limited space is available.

For registration and further information contact Katia Vieira kcvieira@hotmail.com and see www.florianschlosser.com for more details.

Question: For more than 6 years now I have been 'doing' Self-inquiry to figure out: Who is the doer? When there is no I-thought, actions seem to happen on their own. No doer, like a sentence that has just been written down. Or as you state on your website, seeing/hearing/smelling is happening without an I doing it or thinking about the action. Only when there is a pre-thought such as 'I am now going to lift my right hand in the air', 'I' can see that that thought just happened out of nowhere. Not that the arm is moving or happening on its own accord. That is why the I is still in place, because it feels like I am the doer. So I am the doer and I am not the doer at the same time. This cannot be right and at the same time it feels like something is missing. Any suggestions to make the seeing clear? [Click 'Read More' for Nick's response]

Leading a happy, satisfied life with no inner conflicts is a possibility I am here to talk about.This is essentially based upon what I learnt by studying the works of Swami Suddhananda ji of Samvit sagar Trust.

External circumstances can never be made perfectly conflictless. If possible we might avoid conflict. But externally there is no possibility of conflictless living. But internally its possible to lead a conflictless life. A life of inner harmony if we may like to term it that way.Everyone, irrespective of their upbringing, irrespective of their faith and beliefs, wants to lead a happy life. A life where there is no sense of emptiness within. Externally it may never be possible. If my boss says something wrong and i am left with no option but to contradict him, it can create conflict. Externally we can try but its not possible to lead a totally conflictless life.But inner harmony or calmness is possible.

How to lead such a life?
Long before we understand how we can lead a conflictless life , we need understand how we create inner conflicts in life. We need to know how to handle our minds / thoughts. If I may be allowed to use an example, if I am given a machine ... say , a car, I do not know how to drive the car and therefore I end up in an accident. The intention of the person who gave me the gift is not to murder me. A car is a useful tool, a machine that is given to me. I can learn to drive and drive comfortably to my destination or I can misuse it and end up accidents and troubles.

Hi ALL,

I will get to those direct blow "you" away audios and really looking for a bunch of video sharings to arise as well. However for now, I think this new audio sharing has it's place to alleviate the mind a little when it finds contradictory nondual sharings that all make sense somehow! lol

This audio just skirts that a little, (not heavily specifically targeted) but I think can be of enormous clarity if your mind gets to wrapped up in the subtle or outright differences that arise as different nondual like sharings.... enjoy this explanative (also potentially mind blowing) perspective!

In order to listen.... please do go to my homepage at

www.theopenway.org

and specifically under my picture is.... the new audio entitled...

"NEW! - What are we? Phenomena? Stories? or Neither? - A Clarification on how we share - audio"

Unable to embed it here for now..

Love & Blessings

Love is the underlying fabric of life, and kindness is its reflection in the world, through us. It can be conveyed in attentiveness to another, in words, or in deeds. One of the most powerful acts of kindness is kindness toward ourselves. That is really where kindness begins. If we are not kind to ourselves, how can we be kind to others? Unless we are also kind to ourselves, kindness shown to others is more of a manipulation, an attempt to get others to give us something or to get them to be kind to us. But unless we are kind to ourselves, we won't be able to receive any kindness others offer us. That place of lack inside of us can't be filled from the outside. We have to be kind to ourselves first.

True kindness comes from a desire to soothe and comfort others because we have discovered the power and blessing that kindness is from having received it. Receiving kindness from others heals us and allows us to express it to others. If we haven't received much kindness from others, we need to find a way to give it to ourselves, to be kind to ourselves even though others haven't been. To do that, we have to do two things: We have to forgive those who weren't kind to us, and we have to see that we are worthy of kindness.

Have you noticed how much your mind thinks about how your life is going? It's always checking to see how things line up with the way it wants your life to look. The funny thing is that life hardly ever measures up with how the story is supposed to go because it's a setup—even when life is good, something isn't good enough. Life doesn't line up with your stories, not because life is bad or you are doing something wrong, but because life will never line up with the stories/desires the ego has, not completely anyway. The egoic mind has desires that are destined to not be fulfilled. Meanwhile, life is fulfilling in all sorts of other ways.

Where would you be without this story about what you want and when you will get it? Does this story make your life go better? Does this story make you happier? How can a story, which comes from the egoic mind, which isn't wise, make your life go better or make you happier? The ego knows nothing about true happiness. Listening to it, only takes us out of real life, which is unfolding beautifully according to a plan we are part of. Life is happening, and it's happening as it needs to. We operate within life as it is unfolding, we act upon it, but we don't control it, nor do we know what is best for us or those around us.
