What makes us different?
What we are not:
I am not interested in replacing your doctor, therapist, lawyer, or clergy. Nor am I a teacher of NLP, LOA, or your spiritual guru or life coach. I respectfully place those duties fully in the hands of those who specialize in them. I am not your company’s daylong motivational speaker, as in truth, people are already uniquely motivated.
As valuable as the following attributes may be, my teachings do not plateau at the level of motivation, success, positive thinking, happiness, joy, forgiveness, peace, passion, compassion, self-acceptance or self-improvement. I am neither infatuated with, nor resentful of excellence, accomplishment, attainment and achievement.
I am neither infatuated with nor resentful of money. I already know that you are going to earn, accumulate and appreciate only that which is proportionate to your vision and cause. My hope is that you take your unique and valuable service into the world, serve others, create, contribute and receive back at whatever level you feel is uniquely suited for you. I hope you will be honest with yourself about that level and honor what you truly aspire to.
Anything I have learned is open to refinement, distinctions and never-ending growth. I make no claims to know everything and on the contrary, see everyone as possessing unique wisdom that can be learned from. I have no interest in taking what could be uncomplicated and straightforward and making it difficult.
I am not interested in a conversion of your faith. While I personally am interested in understanding many religions, I am respectful of yours and don’t demand that of you. My deeper interest and work is based not on faith and beliefs, but on actual practices and the direct experiences they evoke. I make no claims to be “fully awakened” or to have the one right or superior “path.” I hope that you study, practice and teach within whatever tradition(s) you feel are right for you and I fully support your right to do so.
I have no political agenda or aspirations of running for office. Awaken Beyond is not a call to reclaim traditional values, nor is it a movement for social justice, the redistribution of wealth, green sustainability or political correctness. Its meta-views are upright, integrated and whole, more than right or left leaning and fragmented into partiality and a mere side. I have no interest in “saving the world” by attempting to align the planet to values I’m currently infatuated with.
I have no interest in furthering humanities pursuit of happiness, whether that entails looking within or looking without.
Most importantly, I am not a teacher of indifference.
What we are:
Our core philosophy is built upon the recognition of an underlying order in the universe, and the awakening of a deeper self that is already aware of this order.
When one awakens to this order they experience the transformative power of authentic gratitude and true, unconditional love.
I work with people to help awaken them to their deepest nature, expand their awareness of an ever-present order, and experience their life in a profoundly grateful, purposeful and meaningful way. In short, Awaken Beyond is about living a deeply awakened life.
Here is what you can learn and experience from this work:
- How to use a reproducible science that allows you to discover the underlying order in what seems like daily chaos. This will allow you to expand your perceptions and awareness of life for a dramatically different understanding and experience.
- How to recognize an often overlooked deeper order within yourself, your family, your culture and the world at large, and the key to understanding the underlying dynamics and overlooked order that governs all personal and professional relationships and families.
- How to understand the difference between emotion and the transcendent feeling of love, and the fundamental difference between attachment, loss and love. Learn an experiential understanding between conditional time-bound love and unconditional timeless love.
- How to clear the attractions and repulsions, infatuations and resentments that block our highest aspirations and deepest life contributions. Obtain certainty and presence of the mind, and experience the difference between a life of passion and a life of inspiration.
- How to clear your mind of any distraction so that you can be much more present, focused, purposeful and inspired, and make life increasingly meaningful and rewarding. Learn to clear and move beyond any perceived fear and into inspired action.
- How to awaken beyond lopsided, limited opinions about yourself and into a much more integrated and whole authenticity, while resolving and dissolving difficult emotions to become inspired on even the most challenging of days.
- How to live a life dedicated to something much deeper than happiness and aspire to a life of deep awakening, profound growth, and meaningful contribution.
