I was doing some work outside today with Peter. We had to burn some dead wood that accumulated on the ranch to make the place beautiful for the people that are coming soon. As I was working along I can see that Peter is nearing the end of his life and he's still outside with me working and hauling branches. Slower than he used to be but still doing it. Then he sent me a message today talking about that we have 35 people signed up for his new Absolute Consciousness Workshop a new record! Peter is only planning to do this workshop one time (with him facilitating). Now I was lucky growing up as I found Peter at a young age and committed myself to studying and also live on the same property as the man. Meaning, I have spent a lot of time with him. I have benefitted greatly from being around him, and I have a lot of love for him. It occurred to me that if you are out there waiting or if it is a question in your mind wether or not you want to do a workshop you should join the one that will be happening with Peter coming up in a few weeks. It may be your last chance to experience him facilitating a full workshop and I would hate for you to lose that opportunity. If you want to join let me know.

Exercise during the week: 'Contemplate what assumptions you have about life. Discover as many assumptions as you can, you should be able to find a lot. Do not stop on the surface, consider the life you live as an experience, what assumptions generate that experience?' I have a life assumption that to live as a modern human, (i.e. a person) is to suffer other people, as if coming with the package. The agendas of other people, the loss of other people etc. My assumption as a person with language and a life story is like a self-fulfilling conceptual loop, seemingly affecting my body interacting with other people with their own conceptual loops. Seems like we also want our loops to be consistent and predictable, easier to handle...again assumptions. I'm considering life as a person as distinct from human life (separate biological entities) where the body does its job to navigate with sensation, like my body inherently sees, hears, feels, perhaps physical loops (like cells, looping and morphing into other cells etc.) Getting clearer on biological life, there is something very silent and trustworthy about it, nothing to worry about, body heals, breathes, digests, takes care of itself as change occurs, peaceful actually. Looked up the English noun compassion, meaning "to suffer together with". I'm allowing the possibility of living as a person generating compassion for the suffering of other people. Another person is just like me; we are suffering together as people. Seems more effective for life in general, maybe Buddha et al. had a point with compassion and unconditional love etc. Thanks for listening.

Good session today, clarity is clearer now :) I'm getting clarity as a principle as experiencing each distinction as just that and not confused or conflated with any other distinction. An experience of ___ is an experience of ___. Not the concepts about it or anything added or projected onto___. A concept of___ is a concept of ____ not it itself. Getting the vibe of 'the chair' exercises from the ENB. These early morning sessions (in Australia) are very helpful for staying on track during the week. Thanks, and see you at the upcoming workshop! Robert

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
