Course Outline

Week 1: Me

Who/where/what am I?

We’ll look for evidence for a “me” that stands separate from the flow of life. We’ll examine the beliefs, sensations and other factors that contribute to this sense of separation.

Our exploration will aim to close the gap between the assumed perceiver and the perceived. Is there anyone standing outside of experience “doing” the noticing, thinking, observing, feeling?

Week 2: Doership, Choices, Learning and Change

Are you making choices? Are you making things happen?

If not, how do things get done? How does change happen?

We’ll explore the process of learning, managed by no one, and how learning appears to make way for what we call change. We’ll consider that perhaps there is no separate self exerting influence over life. What are the implications of this?

Week 3: How Thought Creates Me-And-My-Life

The sense of Me-And-My-Life is constantly created on the fly, drawn and redrawn…but in disappearing ink.

We’ll look at the constant falling away of everything, including “me” and “my life”, and how these thoughts can feel so ever-present and familiar despite their constant disappearance.

What is stable? What remains and what is always disappearing? Seeing the ungraspable nature of life reveals that beliefs, assumptions, and identities are always falling away as well.

Week 4: Full Immersion

The way through the Me-And-My-Life perspective is full immersion into what is.

There is no bypass. Nothing to transcend. Nothing that will “fall away” any more than everything is already falling away.

This is about going straight into what is, full immersion into feelings, sensory experience, and thoughts. Curiously examining the true nature of what’s right under your nose. Life, exactly as it’s showing up, is the roadmap.

Week 5: Other People

Is it possible to really know another person? (Is it possible to really know anything?)

We’ll explore how other people show up in the Me-And-My-Life perspective and what’s there in our experience of others outside of this perspective. Whom/what are we in relationship with, and how does our point of view affect those relationships?

Week 6: Q&A and Further Discussion

There is no particular theme for Week 6. We’ll use this final week for further discussion, questions, and support.

Is this course for you? Please make sure these feel true before you join:

• You are open to questioning the predominant view of life held by nearly all people. You’re not only open to examining this, you’re excited about it!

• You’re okay with paradox. We’re not looking to find clear answers; we’re looking toward the space before answers and knowledge. Much of what we discover in space can be very paradoxical.

• You are more interested in exploring the nature of reality than comfort or feeling good. This is not about being comfortable. You’re happy to sacrifice temporary comfort for an honest look at what is.

• Similar to the point above, you’re eager to look for looking’s sake, without an agenda. It’s true that anxiety, habits, worry, limiting identities, etc. may shift in this exploration. They also may not. We are exploring without an agenda for any change or outcome.

If you aren’t excited by the points above that’s totally okay, but this isn’t the course for you at this time.
