We sometimes feel thatmeditation, self inquiry, self realization, is a luxury. That helping yourself is somehow selfish, and that you should put your energy and effort into helping others that are in need. I recognize this myself as well! It is one of the reasons that I feel so reluctant to stop Tsuki and take a sabbatical to 'do nothing' for at least a year. Although I know it is the right thing to do for me in this stage of my life. Watching this in myself, helps me understand why so many people postpone doing a Clarity Process workshop. Or wait until a crisis forces them to it.
In his talk 'The Nature of the subconscious' (Box 1 of the Clarity Talks) Jeru states that all collective misery is individual. "If you can find a way to come out of your misery, you can be an example for how the world can also come out of its miseries". It may sound simple, but it is deeply true. It is our greed and our aversion, prompted by our unrealistic survival worries, that creates our misery and all that is so wrong in how we built our economy and society.
The aim of the Clarity Process is to give you the tools and the perspective to help you understand what creates your misery and find a way out of it. I therefore see Jeru's work as highly social and beneficial for the crises that we face right now. As Einstein putted it: “Problems cannot be solved with the same mind set that created them.”
In Jeru's words: "Before you start adjusting your life, before you start solving your problems, you need to see what is memory and what is reality." Seeing what is memory and what is reality is a lifelong job. And it asks of you to have a friendship with your subconscious. For the world of memory, is the world of the subconscious. As long as it stays sub-conscious, it will determine what we like and dislike, what we do and what we don't do. If our memories are full of fear, we live as if the world is full of fear. Even when the moment is utterly friendly and supportive. The mind won't be able to let you live in harmony with that reality.
Often people in my workshops ask me "When am I done? When will my subconscious finally understand?" The somewhat disappointing answer is: you're never done, it is a lifelong job. But that is also the hope giving answer! Jeru had the wisdom to design very simple and effective tools that you can easily use in daily life.
The Clarity Process is a tool based path to truth. Once you know the tools, you can use them. And they will ALWAYS work. That is the beauty of an effective tool based process! The only downside is: when you do not use the tools, they cannot work for you.
So be welcome in my workshops, at whatever level you practice. They all have the depth to take you further on you path, to bring you home again and again, deepening you wisdom and clarity on the way.
In this last year of Tsuki I have two great workshops in store for all who use the tools themselves at home.
The Online Winter Retreat
It will give you the opportunity to experience the depth of a workshop at your own place. Many participants reported that after the online retreat it was much more easy to stay on track as it bridged the gap between retreat life and home life.
The two week intensive 'Golden Wings Blue Sky'
One of my personal favorites. For this workshop it is necessary that you use the tools on a regular basis yourself at home. If you find yourself struggling with that, I recommend doing the Online Winter Retreat as well.
New to our process or need a refresher?
I will be giving a Dutch spoken Clarity Process week November 9-17 in Bergheim. Akki and Katrin, two of my senior trainers, offer a German spoken Clarity Process week December 2-9 in Bergheim.
Both workshops give access to the above retreats.
