When Effort Becomes Noise

“Awareness is self-knowing, empty and luminous — it does not need to be sought.”
— Garab Dorje
In this gathering, we’ll turn toward the mystery we call “Awareness” not as something we attain through effort, but as what everything already is.
Even effort, practice, thinking and the sense of “me doing” are not apart from this Awareness'.

Through simple readings, open discussion, and meditation, we’ll explore:

• What is this knowing that is here before thought or effort?
• Can the “doer” ever reach it , or is the doer just another fleeting pattern?
• What remains when even the effort to know fades?

There are no teachers or teachings here. Just a circle of friends exploring together.
