Excited to share the big news for all Russian speakers in the Cheng Hsin community: The Book of Not Knowing is now available in Russian (digital edition)! You can get it here: https://offers.chenghsin.com/book-of-not-knowing-ru Another language edition joins the BNK family. 😊

Hi all, so basically its pretty simple. I want to suffer less and grasp Peters teachings from his book "Ending Unnecessary Suffering" more deeply. I learn better or more when I am with a group of people holding me accountable and on track. So i am putting this out here seeing who is interested. The idea: I want to do this reading/working circle. It's an experiment lasting from 1st July 2026 till end of February 2027. We want to be done with the book by then, so we'll divide it into parts that let us actually get through it in that time. Beginning of the week we read a small portion of the book. We contemplate it throughout the week. We talk about it during our weekly meeting and contemplate it together some more. Then we read some more and repeat the process slowly working through the book. Hopefully learning a great deal from one another. Language will be English. I operate in Berlin time, so meeting times will be planned loosely around that, but exact slot depends on who joins and where you're from. Group size: max 10, but I'd rather have 5-6 people who really have the drive for this and want to work through it properly. Not looking for a big crowd, looking for people who take it somewhat seriously. Prior knowledge of Peter's work is welcome but not strictly required. If you're planning on doing the Consciousness Apprentice Program 2027, you're definitely welcome to join. Am I qualified to facilitate any kind of insight?Absolutely not! I am just as ignorant and suffer like you guys. But I am not aiming to facilitate a consciousness anyway. My goal is to hold a container where people who are interested in this stuff can engage with the work regularly.Authorities in the matter are the book and hopefully your experience. My history with Peters work: - 5 week fall workshop series - Participated in one ICG facilitated by a former Apprentice of Peter - I read the Book of Not Knowing - Tons of YT videos - Not enlightened So if you are interested in such an undertaking reach out to me! I'll figure out a schedule (weekly meeting time etc) once I know who's coming and based on where in the world people are from.

Just finished listening to this on Audible, I also have the book. Unsurprisingly it’s difficult to find words to describe it. It felt like Peter was reading my mind as he wrote, knowing what mischief my mind and self were likely to be up to as I listened and calling them out. When I finally got to the end I fell quiet and felt peaceful, if a bit beaten up. How do you follow that? I asked myself - I still have one - working in progress. The answer was loud and clear - ‘The Book of Not Knowing’ start all over again. Looking forward to listening to it for the umpteenth time with new ears and a better grasp. What a privilege to have Peter’s work in our lives. Thank you.

After reading one of Peter Ralston’s book during the day or evening - I’m realising the importance of next day just opening a new document and to start writing about what I had read the previous day. I find that this is a powerful tool for contemplation and self-enquiry. The very nature of the mind and its deception is laid bare in this way.🫠

We did work on emotions and understanding how we add good and bad to our experience in the latest community session. It was powerful.
