Why Enlightenment

Revealing Truth, Discovering EnlightenmentThe Enlightenment Intensive Experience

Unlike the relative truth in which most of us live, absolute truth exists apart from how we think, feel, perceive, sense, describe, or learn about it. Enlightenment refers to a conscious, direct experience of the absolute truth, rather than to a remote, esoteric encounter.

When Truth is experienced unfiltered – when enlightenment, or union, occurs – it always comes about in a timeless instant, always in the present moment, and beyond any doubt. Revealed and made available is a more awakened state of consciousness.

The Enlightenment Intensive is a 3½-day retreat designed and dedicated to helping individuals come into conscious union with Truth. It offers a focused, time-tested technique learned and practiced in a structured, supportive environment.

Using the age-old tradition of contemplation, the enlightenment method uniquely incorporates modern communication in dyads, or working in pairs. Changing partners periodically throughout each day, the Enlightenment Technique leads to dramatically increased consciousness, closer contact with others, overall personal growth, and, not infrequently, the resolution of the contemplation through direct experience.

No belief system or view of life is taught or implied. Participants examine their own experience, make their own inquiry, and discover their own results. Concentration, energy, and awareness steadily increase during an intensive empowering participants to go ever more deeply into the reality their questions point them toward.

The Enlightenment Intensive format and technique creates the container and holds the space for communication and connection between individuals that gives rise to high levels of understanding, compassion, and support.
