Some News

Some news, finally! Here we are in Berlin about to do an evening. More on that later.

We have been busy, driving and doing three great evenings, each one different but arriving at the same place—the place where many people were able to be with “what is” without need to chase the future—without needing to know what is happening next or even how to apply Radiant Mind in challenging situations. As I have shared in these evenings. The best to cultivate Radiant Mind or nondual awareness is to rest in it whenever this is possible. It is easy to become distracted when we have time and space and get involved in the news, books, magazines, entertainment. Another possibility is to tune into awareness—to recognize that: “Yes, everything is happening now, I am thinking, sensing, and all of this is happening in the field of centerless awareness.” Then we can rest here, perhaps for a few minutes, perhaps for a little longer, savoring the pureness of being, the space that can’t be upset of disturbed by anything.

Yesterday we had a great evening at the home of Aurum in Bielefeld. A great group of people sharing dialogue and sweet silences together, enjoying the beautiful ambience that Aurum has created as their work space. Wednesday we had a book signing; well really more of a nondual dialogue in Stuttgart. And the same in Munich. Sometimes I feel I may move a little too fast for people when I meet them in person for a contemplative dialogue. I know some people need ideas before feeling confident to let go of the “thinking mind” but then I think, “This is a special opportunity being with people face to face, so let’s dive in a taste nondual awareness together. Then we can go back to books and writings later.”

Greetings,
Peter
