Are you looking to connect with people who are wide awake or waking up? Are you ready for the end of your excuse that "I can't find anyone like me in Pahrump. " Have you been looking for a place where you can speak your mind and the group is non-judgmental?
In the broad spectrum of Enlightenment and Spirituality the focus of this group is Consciousness and Awareness. In pop-culture terms, most of us are interested in getting out of the default mode of allowing our ego to control our thoughts and actions and getting very presently into the Now. Once we stop allowing our stories to control our lives we look to be come more aware, both of the environment that we have traditionally viewed as external as well as the universe that we discover when we look within.
The group itself has no dogma nor leader; each individual member is on their own path, has their own personal paradigm, and a number of them have a teacher or guru to whom they turn for guidance. Along the way many of us have studied material from teachers such as Eckhart Tolle, Adyashanti, J. Krishnamurti and and through gateways such as A Course In Miracles, The Secret, and What the Bleep Do We Know. We also seem to learn from the most visible sages and philosophical systems like Siddhartha Guatma (Buddha) and Buddhism; Lao Tzu and Taoism; Hinduism; the Vedas, Gitas and Upanishads; and yes, the teachings of Jesus himself (and contrasting it with the religion that was created around his teachings hundreds of years after his life on Earth.) this list will go one you get the point.
Ultimately, however, we emphasize the divinity within ourselves. Our teachers have done what they can to point towards the Truth, but many of us have come to realize the danger of placing authority outside of ourselves. The diversity in our education allows us to draw from the various thought systems that came before us so that we can build our own truth, our own personal paradigm. We strive to create an open atmosphere so that our members can feel comfortable in discussing their ideas, testing them out to see if they fit. Some of us have even found through this process that rather than building our paradigm we are stripping it down to the core. Whether you are new to these concepts or already have a solid foundation, the Awareness Group is a good place to connect with others that are right there with you.
The Awareness Group is a great place to get started in exposing yourself to the wide range of topics found under the umbrella of Spirituality. For those that are serious about awakening, self-realization, and the "path to Enlightenment," visit our Sunday spiritual services, Friday discussions and look for our future postings.
The goal of this is to bring forth more availability and awareness in our community, if you have suggestions, ideas or upcoming functions we will be happy to post them here.
Thank you for joining us on this wonderful journey we call LIFE.
Peace love blissssssssssssss
Namaste.
