We’re glad you’re here — we’ve laid out a simple path to get you started. 🔍 First steps - Step 1: Take the free Foundation for Consciousness course by Brendan Lea This short course explains our goal in these efforts. - Step 2: Join our Consciousness Weekly Session (Sundays) Meet fellow members, ask questions, and deepen your practice together. - Step 3: Explore other courses A great next step is Peter Ralston’s Increasing Consciousness course, but feel free to browse the full catalog and follow your curiosity. - Step 4: Attend a live workshop If you’re serious about growth, Ralston’s live workshops are incredibly powerful and they will put your journey on a different level, we guarantee that. 💬 Stay engaged - Share your questions, insights, and breakthroughs in the discussion feed. - Let us know what resources or topics would help you most and also share any feedback you have. - In case you have any questions or would like to reach out to us, please contact Brendan Lea or myself. “Increasing consciousness is the most important pursuit any human can undertake. Generally, people are stuck in a great deal of false realities that produce struggle, suffering, and discontent. Increasing consciousness frees us from this falsely limited world so we can access greater freedom and happiness, not to mention gain more effectiveness and creativity. Becoming more conscious takes investigation, learning, and contemplation. We provide these tools and support.” — Peter Ralston

A major distinction we can make in this work is "doing vs. being". Essentially, we spend 99% of our days "doing" stuff. And this isn’t just about physical activity: thinking and planning are also forms of doing. Even "trying to be" is ironically a form of doing. Nearly all this "doing" is driven by self-survival, which in turn leads to suffering and a lack of clarity. In Consciousness Work, even though we recognize the pervasiveness of our primitive self-survival reflexes, we also try to expand our scope beyond that. And there are two directions to do this: 1) Leaning toward more "being". This is the goal of our Being Complete workshop. or 2) Improving the quality of our "doing". This is the goal of our Four Principles workshop. Basking in pure being forever would be nice. But since we'll keep "doing" things until we die, we might as well remove as much BS from this as we can, and focus on how to do stuff in the most conscious way possible. The main tool we recommend to achieve that is to follow Principles. Our 6hr Principles workshop held on March 21 (next saturday) has been crafted to address this precise issue. When you align with Principles: - You know where you're going - You stop fighting yourself - You realize you may not be as stuck as you thought - You stop leaking energy on things that don't matter and more good stuff. See you there :)

Is this Love?
I noticed that when I think about others, I'm only interacting with my thoughts about others. That's how far our relationships go. Yet there is a different way of connecting with others: I notice they are 'in the same place' where I am. It is the same formless seat of our being, unchanged and unlocated. In that seat, we are identical. What follows is an appreciation of this sameness, which I want to call Love. All I can do from that position is simply be That which dreams both of us. So I got curious: is this love? What is love in your experience?
An uncomfortable observation about spiritual teachings (including this post)
I’ve been noticing something slightly disturbing about spiritual teachings. For any teaching to survive, it has to attract people. And to attract people, it almost always has to offer some kind of “goodie”. Freedom from suffering.A better life.Authenticity.Peace.Enlightenment. Something the ego wants. Because if a teacher simply stood up and said: “Let’s pursue truth for its own sake, even if it destroys everything you believe and gives you nothing in return.” Almost nobody would show up. So teachings package truth with incentives. Even teachers who deeply care about truth still have to do this. Take Peter Ralston as an example and this community. This work clearly points toward something very serious. But notice how the entry points are things like improving your life, ending suffering, authentic experience, workshops, courses, books, etc. There’s nothing wrong with that. It’s probably unavoidable. It just reveals something about us as humans. Most people don’t come for truth. They come for something they want. And maybe, if they stay long enough, truth sneaks in. Which brings me to the funny part: Even writing this post… I can see the same mechanism in myself. Part of me genuinely wants to explore this dynamic. And another part of me hopes people resonate, like it, comment on it… so I can collect enough points to reach Level 2 in this community. So even this reflection isn’t free from the same incentive structure. Which makes me wonder: Is it actually possible to communicate truth without any incentive attached to it at all? Or is some level of “goodie” always part of the game? -Talat
