Simply, these meetings share the simple message that what is truly longed for is already “what is”.
This obvious simplicity is overlooked by a personal sense of separation that “what is” is missing something and a conviction that something needs to happen. This sense of a personal reality can be recognized as a need for more experience or knowledge. The hope is that enough of the right experience or knowledge will lead to fulfillment or endless happiness. In the meetings this sense of a personal reality and the need for becoming as necessary is exposed as unnecessary and illusory.
**Jim** was born in New Orleans and lives in the USA. Never satisfied with the canned answers offered by religion or spirituality, he looked to science, psychology and philosophy for answers. In his early twenties, he experienced an awakening that completely upended his search within the realm of what could be known. Not understanding what had happened, he turned to those who claimed to know: spiritual teachers and gurus. But it didn’t work. The practices and explanations didn’t resonate.
The awakening had made it unmistakably clear that what is truly longed for lies beyond all of that. Though he continued to practice, he remained unconvinced. Then he encountered a radical message: one that stated, without compromise, that there is no one. Upon truly hearing this, the dream and the dreamer dissolved. Never having happened.
And yet, all of this being said: there is no path to what is.
