The Grace of Silent Retreat by Katie Davis, Author, Awake Joy

Silent Retreat is an opportunity to step out of daily activities and profoundly rest as deep silence. This stillness is the aliveness that is already within you, untouched by the ego, its time and suffering. This is an extraordinary chance to realize the Heart that you genuinely are at the core of being through being present, deep resting and Self-inquiry.

Gathering together for an extended period in the frequency of satsang, you may realize the conscious freedom and causeless joy that is endlessly available through spiritual awakening, enlightenment and Self-realization. With the rare guidance and support that only true satsang can offer, it is a time to at last discover the truth of one's being or to deepen, integrate and “stabilize” that profound realization.

Silent retreat is an intimate and safe place to expose the lie of every imagined obstacle to lasting happiness that is the birthright of every human being. It is a private time to focus on what you truly want, what really matters and then tell the truth about that revelation.

Retreat is one of radical relaxation to allow the ego, its anxieties and fears to totally unwind. With all daily needs taken care of for you, there are no distractions and you are able to effortlessly focus. When all falls away, you realize that what remains is an unspeakable sacredness, a field of pure potentiality that is eternal peace, bliss and wise love that has no opposition whatsoever. This shift is called Self-realization and it is the conscious and permanent fulfillment of the human being.

Perhaps you have assumed that a life that is totally free of negativity and suffering is utterly impossible. While we are required to explore this altered state of consciousness to its core, when the divided mind dissolves and we realize its illumination, it is the permanent end to all suffering. In fact, it is realized that suffering is no longer even possible!

This is far more than a “personal” freedom. There are universal reference points through which one will inevitably seem to pass and as one shifts deeper, the life situation and indeed the world situation effortlessly shifts on its own accord. In the end, the mind is only a mirror and when the "fog" on the mirror burns away, we have a perfect reflection of the Heart.

When we allow this realization to fully integrate, we no longer have a Source from which "all else" flows (duality and separation). We discover that we are living in a virtual paradise that reflects the basic goodness, selfless service, true compassion and unconditional love that is the Heart of all being.

I am not asking you to "believe" this. I am only inviting you to look, pointing where to look, and in what manner. Then, it is up to you. In this willingness, this realization is profoundly direct. Instead of doubt, confusion, frustration, misunderstanding and detours to Self-realization, we have harmony, simplicity and right understanding of the false. This is not a trivial matter. When it is said that you are the key to world transformation, it is a virtual truth.

While you may be perhaps prepared for an earthquake, are you prepared to be shaken awake? I have been traveling since 1999 and meeting a worldwide Heart family. The greater awakening is alive and flourishing ... so magnificently beautiful! By now, one could say that this shift is inevitable! Self-realization is not reserved for saints and sages. How could it be so, when it is the very essence that you already are?

The Perfume of God ~ When Will You Look? ~ Katie Davis Blog: AwakebyKatie

This video, The Perfume of God, was shared with me on Facebook and I found it stunning and beautiful, so I am sharing it with you!

It was probably produced by the Prem Rawat orgnization and shared at the "Heart of the Matter" blog by Mitch Ditkoff on NetworkedBlogs. The Awake by Katie Blog is also accessible on NetworkedBlogs.

Enjoy!! ~ All Love ~ Katie Davis, Author, Awake Joy



Katie Davis Blog: AwakebyKatie www.awakebykatie.blogspot.com

The Self-observer and the Universal Witness by Katie Davis, Author, Awake Joy

In these teachings, I differentiate between the person (body), the self-observer (eyewitness) and the true witnessing consciousness that is the reference point "I am the witness only."

The self-observer is still identified with the body. Attention has shifted from projecting outward toward the world and has turned inward. The study is one of watching thoughts, emotions, body, physical energies and mental images. While it may seem that one is "inside," being inside the body is not yet inside. I guess we could say there is an inside to the inside! :-)

You see, the appearance of the body is also another worldly object. It is still a part of the dream of form. Self-observation is essential to the awakening process, yet this watching is not the witness.

At some point, a profound and radical detachment from both body and world will occur and this opens to the true witnessing consciousness. Some mistaken this with enlightenment since pure being-consciousness-bliss is so dynamically at the forefront.

The subject witness ... the true witness ... is totally free of the person. It is formless and has no identification with person and form. Its study is formlessness. It still has its object, but the object is the "dimension" of the Heart. While it is perfect for crossing over from the world of form into formlessness, it prevents Self-realization.

Once again, the profound surrender will happen by itself when the persistent duality is noticed. In the disappearance of the subject-witness, we have Self-realization.

Continued Self-inquiry will assist ... even when one is totally free of the ego and the body.

While the universal subject-witness is free of form, it is not yet free of the universal mind. In fact, it IS the universal mind. Nisargadatta calls the universal witness "God." In these teachings, I save that label for only the Supreme Absolute.

Since this is a "seasoned" group, I must quickly add of course that the Absolute (Self) is all there is ... everything "else" is only Self ... appearing as.

So why differentiate? Advaita is more than a philosophy, it is in fact a perfect road map. If there is not clarity at point A, point B will remain a mystery, etc. The outer layer of the onion is peeled to reveal the next layer. There cannot be clarity of what an onion truly is ... other than conceptually with mind ... unless each layer is realized.

Likewise, we shift from reference point to reference point until none remain.
