The Living Method of Awakening
The Living Method of Awakening is for the purpose of awakening clarity now. It is a method, so there are guidelines for being successful with awakening now, and also stabilizing the recognition of true nature that you are about to have the opportunity of experiencing.
The Living Method of Awakening has over a 90% success rate for those who have an awakening session, whether it be private or in the small group program of the Skillful Means Series. We acknowledge you and congratulate you for taking this first vital step towards living the realization of freedom that is ever-present and that you, so to speak, are.
In the nondual community there is a myth that once attained, enlightenment is permanent and life will be perfect. Notice that the myth is about a future, but there is no future. There is only now. Awakening, or awakeness itself, is here now, to be recognized.
To successfully have such recognition, this is what is suggested for your awakening session:
What is post-awakening clearing and why is it so important?
Here's an analogy to help you understand this. The prevalent nondual belief is that there is a journey to awakening and an arrival. Picture a mountain and a tough climb. If you are lucky, you will reach the summit. You will have arrived!
Now, instead, imagine you are airlifted to the summit with targeted, purposeful, methodic inquiry, and when you get to the summit, you discover, there's no, you, there. It's discovered that there never was this imaginary you. This is a description of The Living Method of Awakening.
Yet, there is a sense of existence and there is a sense that you are there. However, the sense of something is not necessarily the same as the truth of something.
You discover that the you, you thought yourself to be doesn’t exist and never did. True nature is there, yet unexpectedly, the patterns of the body-mind can still arise. The clearing out of these patterns reveals the ever-present clarity that is.
Clearing is a path, and it provides the guidance for clearing out the arising of thinking patterns and misidentification as the body. The Living Method doesn't leave you in the lurch. It has programs for guiding you to use effective inquiry, and thereby experience, in a stable way, the underlying clarity that you are.
The clearing path is for abiding as truth - as the peace that is. Without clearing, automated, default thinking patterns arise, and misidentification as a default body-mind, is likely. The awakening session is like kindergarten, and clearing is going through the grades of school, and there's no graduation.
This is so exciting because it means that the mystery of true nature is revealed over and over. Now, now, now! Clearing reveals the truthful default of freedom! Can there possibly be an end to the revealing of infinity?
How does The Living Method of Awakening provide opportunities for clearing?
What is the ideal program for abidance that Fred suggests?
The importance of the “whole” cannot be overstated. Many people wake up and few clear without support and guidance.
The Way of The Living Method is first Awakening Now, then Claiming the Awakening As It Is, then Walking the Clearing Path and Living As True Nature. The Living Method Way is the key to the freedom that already is. It’s simple, but not easy.
In closing, remember that repetition is the mother of clarity, so discover the way that's best for you to repeat recognizing what's true, instead of defaulting to automatic egoic patterns. Awaken first, and then shift the default through clearing.
Congratulations for registering for an awakening session, and good luck!
