Vince Fortunato is a member of our Continuing Student Program. He’s been a deeply committed Zen student for a number of years. In this short note, Vince has caught a comet by tail. Bravo! He lives in Idaho. Hi Fred, I know you do not teach via email, so I’m not expecting a […]
I just got this email and felt it was a general enough question that many of you are surely pondering (I know, because I did) that I wanted to answer and share it. I don’t teach via email, and satsang is the place for direct questions. Hello Fred, Yesterday I watched your video, “I understand […]
This kind woman had a spiritual awakening in 1979 following a personal tragedy. The belief that she’s “lost her awakening” moved in and stayed in place for the next 37 years-all the way to yesterday. 🙂 I’ll be working with her son in February. F Hi Fred! Just wanted you to share with you […]
Hey Fred, Satsang was quite potent yesterday, to say the least. I wanted to share an experience (if you can call it that), and maybe elicit some reflections from you. It’s interesting — when I attempt to describe it, I hit a wall. It was such a non-experience — a powerful non-experience, paradoxically — that […]
Fred: Sitting looking at the Awakening Clarity Now website this morning – I see how skillfully the website is laid out, and what wonderful information it provides. This is a tricky game. Its all about undoing. Getting simpler and simpler. Un-knowing, rather than taking on more information. And yet one must use the available tools […]
Kenton just forwarded this email to me. Hi Kenton, We connected through LinkedIn a while back. I was listening to Fred’s 11/25 YouTube video this morning. At one point he asked “Are you the character pretending to be Oneness or are you Oneness pretending to be the character?” I’ve been guilty of looking to […]
Great Fred. Really great. It really hit me. I’ll miss satsang today. Looking forward to reviewing and marinating in [the recording of] our session today. Thanks Fred. Cheers, Doug So appreciated your beautiful post last Wednesday! Thanks, Jan Hey, Fred. It feels like Awakeness is colonizing Satsang! Before our very eyes. Brightness from all directions. There’s teaching but no […]
I got this letter recently, and really liked it, but I don’t have the time to respond to everything I get these days, so I sent it along to John Ames, who is brightly awake, and whom I knew would know just what to do with it. I was right. Read this guy’s letter (his […]
Thank you Fred, for that message of love and truth that you posted on the site. Simple, powerful and timely. Ravi and I listened to “living in the absence of should”. It is my go to video in dealing with situations when my preference is not met by life. ? Meera ~Thank you, Meera. As […]
Dear Fred, I’m writing this after just having watched your shifting practice video. Shazam, I was in stillness and free of language. Even when I write this I am free of language, even when using it. Wonder of wonders. About 2 years ago I awoke from sleep at about 7am in a completely serene state. […]
Good Morning Fred! Thank You! Looking forward to it [our next appointment]. I totally enjoyed the new video on how to be a better student. I am always not sure whether I am talking too much and flooding your mailbox. I decided you will stop me if I do. Wanted to share this. I keep […]
Fred: Blown away by our meeting yesterday. My take on things – its like weight lifting or marathon training of sorts. A slow introduction to bigger experiences in a non-scary way so as to not frighten the Ego too much. And to not overstretch slack muscles that need training. Waking up is the initial recognition of […]
The session was great, I’ve felt pretty different since then. The part about awakeness looking at/ experiencing awakeness (which I’ve heard here and there for years probably) finally sunk in, whenever attention starts to drift all I have to remember is that piece and I can pretty much get right back there. Also something different is that […]
