Thoughts of Awakening Quote 308
Hour Meditation Thoughts of Awakening Quote 308
Peace is the power
that leads all things home.
In peace, one finds directness.
In peace, one finds surety.
In peace, one finds rest.
In peace, one is strength.

~Commentary on Home~
What is not at home is your way of seeing, your way of perceiving and your way of understanding. Your way is lost from home, because your way is unique and individual, and therefore it is not home.
Home is one way. It is the true way. It is seeing what is as it is.
Peace leads all things home, because in peace you are home. From home, home is all you see because home is all that truly is.

This retreat is based on the teaching of Indian sage, Ramana Maharshi. At this retreat, you will learn the subtleties of self-inquiry. You will participate in guided self-inquiry, meditative self-inquiry, self-inquiry with a partner, journaling based on self-inquiry, and you will contemplate and discuss quotes by Ramana Maharshi.
The purpose of this retreat is to help you make advances in the process of self-inquiry in a very short time, so when you go home from the retreat you will be able to use self-inquiry more effectively to abide in the true Self and detach from the false self. Each participant will receive a book of Ramana Maharshi quotes about self-inquiry.
The retreat will begin at 10am on Monday, January 21 and end at 3pm on Friday, January 25. We recommend arriving in La Veta on or before Sunday, January 20 and departing on or after Saturday, January 26. The Awakening Together Retreat House opens to guests on Saturday, January 19. You are welcome to stay at the Retreat House for up to 28 days. Longer stays require special permission.
Peace comes from not-knowing
at the level of mind.
In not-knowing,
there is no worry.
There is no fear.
There is no judgment.
There is only sweet surrender
to wisdom you can trust,
because you are not attached
to imagined knowing
that keeps you living
with the mind of distrust.

~Commentary on Not-Knowing~
There is peace in not-knowing at the level of mind, because it is supposed knowing that keeps you distrustful, fearful and judging.
What could you judge if you did not think you knew? What could you fear without mind-knowing?
You are distrustful to stop the mind’s incessant knowing, because you feel without it you will be unsafe. But who fears letting go of this knowing? Who doubts that wisdom will keep it safe?
It is important to question, “What am I?” Realization of life is important, for without such realization you will cling to the mind that fears. Only in peace and security of not-knowing can you let go.
