Touch down

Wow, I feel like I've just run through the tape at the end of a race! Or, since the first class I taught all those weeks ago felt like jumping out of an airplane, this feels like I've just landed, both feet firmly on the ground...and looking up into the sky I can see all my fellow teachers of Evolutionary Enlightenment at various stages of freefall..it's not imagination, it's really happening, and consciousness is moving, expanding, and changing as a result. What an  adventure this has been, into the realm of authentic engagement - giving what I've got in terms of life experience in these teachings to the class in real time, and pushing the edge of my development as a teacher...and class 5 really embodied both these aspects. We covered all of the 5 tenets, going into what the rules of engagement would be for living an Enlightened life, with a kind of serious intent that that was only possible because of the depth we had gone to together in the previous 4 classes. There is so much in these tenets, Andrew often says he never gets tired speaking about them and he's been teaching the tenets in particular for over 10 years now! We grappled with the absolute context in living the tenets, the position of freedom first before all else, and my experience was that that created an openess and receptivity inthe room - all the other tenets seem to flow out naturally from there and make perfect sense.

By the end of the class I experienced the kind of bonding that happens when you all push through something, individually and together, that brings you all higher and further than you have ever gone before.  There was an ecstatic tension in the air and people hung out  for a long time after the class. I realized the personal goal of bringing my first class, step by step - and I think better and better -  through the entire foundation of these beloved teachings. :)  Joy!  It releases a passion to only do more, and more and more.....the teachings are true and real and practical - change, transformation and evolution is possible and there is a noble endeavor, in this post post modern world, to be engaged with that could change the world……!

Many of the people in this class will be coming back for the next 5 weeks to take Part 2 of the course, which Jeff Careirra and I will be teaching, so stayed tuned for further updates in this ongoing pursuit of authenticity and the evolution of consciousness...
