It seems there is some significant interest in doing two day workshops! I am curious what kinds of things are you all interested in doing in some of these workshops? Please comment below if there is something that you really want to see offered here in the future. I would love to hear from you. All the best, Brendan

Hello/Salut all, I’m glad to be here. I try to increase my consciousness by putting "truth" at the core of my daily life. I’m also lazy and make a lot of mistakes along the way. Hope you are all well. Thank you Peter Ralston and Brendan Lea for the Skool community! I made this post to get to LVL 2

In today session, I realised that the thought that I have of another is obviously just a thought but strangly enough appears to become my very experience of them. As if, all their behaviours, talks and actions were filtered by this very thought I have about them. Like a matrice or a interpretative framework which shape all the emotions, réactions and feelings I have when being around them. It recall the idea which says that the observer influences the person which he observe. And brings back to us the power to change our experience of another by changing our thought of them. Thanks to @Viktor Balogh for this session and to @Ethan Martin for joining us tonight and bringing great value to the class.

At the end of the community session, earlier, @Viktor Balogh and @Lilia Hrabar briefly talked about grasping what another and another person's experience is. That sort of stuck with me and I contemplated on that question, trying to grasp what my girlfriend's experience is. As I was working on this, many things came up, images of how it might be to live life as her, how it is for her to work, how she is caring about her sick mother and how being with me is for her point of view. I could notice all these images as concepts that I have and that they are not, what her experience is. I kept wondering and investigating about what that thing is, that I call her experience. It also became clear, that grasping what her experience is is not becoming her as if looking through her eyes, because that would be my experience, then. Imagining all of that is just another concept, not her experience. I saw, that there still is something in my experience that I call "her experience" and as all of the other things (I just mentioned) dropped away, it suddenly became clear that it is just that, her experience, and I became conscious of what that is, as I dropped all those concepts. Now writing about this I realize, how mind-boggling all of this is, especially when trying to put it into words. Like trying to unsee an optical illusion but within my actual experience. Working through this self vs. other distinction feels very fruitful, though. Having had this realization and seeing through those workings of my mind at least for a brief moment, gives me confidence that this work actually leads somewhere. Thanks for that community session today! Any thoughts? Is anyone else working on this?

One of the most central parts of our experience, that gets most of our attention is OTHER PEOPLE. In this session we are going to look into how you see them, what assumptions you have about them. We have prepared some insightful exercises.
