Meditation and the Experience of Oneness with Jeff Carreira
2022-03-13 10:00 - 16:30 | The Aligned Center, 1 Bridge Street, Foundry Building Suite 64, Irvington, New York, 10533
Date and Time: March 13 @ 10:00 am – 4:30 pm ET, with a social gathering afterwards
Location: The Aligned Center, 1 Bridge Street, Foundry Building, Suite 64, Irvington, NY 10533
In this all-day event, we will explore the nondual vision of oneness. Jeff will guide us in how we can see the reality of the way things are. All is one, and all apparent division and separation are perceptual illusions.
Description:
The realization of absolute unity has been revered by the world’s great mystical traditions of the East and the West throughout the ages.
It is not difficult to see the way things are, but it is very difficult to see it for more than an instant.
That’s because our minds are so deeply conditioned to see separation, isolation and division, that the vision of Oneness slips out of awareness almost as soon as it is recognized.
Confronted with the awesome vision of Non-dual reality the mind is temporarily stunned into submission. For a moment or two it simply stops in awe and wonder.
But the mind will not stop for long, soon it comes roaring back with a host of seemingly valid and important questions about what it has seen. How is this possible? How does it relate to my everyday experience of life? What does this mean about how I should live?
The questions that the mind comes up with are endless and if we think that we will ever answer them all, we are wrong.
The only way to effectively respond to the mind’s unending and relentless need to know is to simply allow the questions to keep coming without paying any attention to them.
The questionless state is not a state where no questions exist, it is the state where the existence of questions can no longer distract you from the truth of Non-dual Unity.
Social Gathering:
After this day of silence The Aligned Center Founder Matt Ludmer invites the participants to join in an informal social gathering, with light refreshments overlooking the beautiful Hudson River.
JEFF CARREIRA is a mystical philosopher and spiritual guide. He is the author of eleven books on meditation and philosophy. He teaches online programs and leads retreats throughout the world that teach people how to let go of their current perceptual habits so they are free to participate in the creation of a new paradigm. To put it simply, he supports people to live a spiritually inspired life, free from the constraints of fear, worry and self-doubt, and aligned with their own deepest sense of meaning and purpose.
